Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Primal Tenfold Talent

"This 'Cloud Star Manor' was built three thousand years ago, designed by the royal architect of the Cloud River Empire. It features training rooms constructed of D3-grade metal and a private docking pad for interstellar spaceships..."

"Sir, you can touch the manor model directly. Your consciousness will automatically connect to the manor's holographic projection, allowing you to experience the details of each facility as if you were there."

Shu Yue spoke eloquently, a hint of barely perceptible anticipation in her eyes.

The "Cloud Star Manor" is priced at a staggering 9.9 trillion Nine Luminaries Coins, which, even when converted to the universal cosmic currency, would amount to a full 300 million.

As a real estate salesperson, she would receive a commission of one ten-thousandth, which is 9.9 million Nine Glory Coins—enough wealth for her to live a carefree life on any planet in the Cloud River Empire.

"Let's choose this one."

After listening to the introduction, Meng Jingrong glanced at the two models and casually pointed to one of them, "Yunxing Manor," without the slightest hesitation in his tone, as if he were just choosing an ordinary item.

For the next period of time, until the Cosmic Strongest Battle officially begins, he will stay on Cloud River Star to cultivate diligently.

Based on his soul perception, the strongest person on Yunhe Star was only at the fourth level of the Domain Lord realm, a level of cultivation that posed no threat to him.

Even if this planet encounters a sudden crisis, his strength is more than enough to handle it calmly.

......

Flame Dragon Universe Kingdom, Nine Luminaries Island, Slaughter Arena.

"Is this the killing field?"

Meng Jingrong and Lin Youfeng stepped into a huge hall. Looking around, the hall was so vast that it was comparable to a medium-sized city.

The hall floor was paved with black alloy, gleaming with a cold, piercing metallic luster. Even with Lin Youfeng's Hengxing-level physique, he could feel a chill when he touched it.

There weren't many people in the hall; they were sparsely distributed in various areas, and each person exuded an aura, strong or weak, while an invisible killing intent permeated the air.

"So luxurious."

Lin Youfeng's gaze was drawn to the huge background directly in front of the hall—a "blood drop" pattern formed from pure energy.

"But the price is outrageous!"

After this period of exploration in the universe, Lin Youfeng already had a good understanding of the prices in the universe; 1 million Nine Luminaries Coins, this number is close to the total wealth created by an ordinary planet in a year.

However, in the killing field, the fee is only enough for one day's use!

"You are a ninth-tier Constant Star, so you only need one hundred million Nine Radiance Coins."

Meng Jingrong shook his head slightly, "And it costs me 500 billion Nine Glory Coins to stay in the Killing Arena for a day."

"Master, you are a mentalist, so the price will be higher. If you are just a martial artist, then 100 billion Nine Luminaries Coins will be enough," Pudding said.

Killing Field!

This is an extremely luxurious place to fight.

Payers can submit any request they want to the 'Virtual Universe System'.

For example, Lin Youfeng is at the ninth level of the Eternal Star, the ninth level of the Domain, and has comprehended the Law of Metal and the Law of Space. He can choose to spar with opponents of the same level to hone his combat skills.

You can also designate an enemy whose application of the laws is superior to your own, or whose understanding of the laws is stronger than your own, and quickly absorb combat experience through high-intensity actual combat to improve your own understanding of the laws.

He could even request the system to generate ten thousand level-nine powerhouses of the Eternal Star level to simultaneously attack him, experiencing a breakthrough opportunity under extreme pressure.

These kinds of opportunities are hard to come by in reality.

But it can be achieved in the 'virtual universe'!

Of course... the virtual universe is ultimately fundamentally different from reality.

In the virtual world, even if you encounter a life-or-death crisis, your life will not be in real danger; at most, your mental energy will be slightly depleted.

In reality, every battle is a contest between life and death. The potential that bursts forth in desperate situations, the profound wisdom gained between life and death, and the fearlessness in the face of death are things that the virtual universe can never simulate.

At the end of the hall were a series of corridors.

"Master, each corridor you walk into will lead you into a killing space that belongs to you alone," Pudding said lightly as she landed on Meng Jingrong's shoulder.

During the conversation, Meng Jingrong saw many warriors dressed in different armors walk into the depths of the corridor. Two tall men walked by, each with a medal on their left chest. The medal's design was two planets floating on blood-red waves.

"Two-Star Mercenaries of the Universe"

Lin Youfeng looked at his teacher and said, "Experts who are rarely seen on Nine Star Island are everywhere here."

Meng Jingrong's gaze slowly swept across the entire hall, finally settling on a red-haired girl in the corner.

The girl was extremely beautiful, with skin as white as snow and long red hair cascading over her shoulders like a waterfall, exuding an indescribable languor and charm.

She lay casually on a black armchair, a green blade of grass between her teeth, her legs swinging gently, looking completely nonchalant, as if the surrounding noise had nothing to do with her.

Seemingly sensing something, the pretty red-haired girl in the distance slowly raised her eyes, her gaze accurately locking onto Meng Jingrong, and a charming smile appeared on her lips.

Meng Jingrong's heart stirred slightly, and he returned a gentle smile.

This girl should be the person in charge of the Killing Arena on Nine Luminaries Island, and is most likely an Immortal-level being.

"Let's enter the killing space."

After Meng Jingrong finished speaking, he and Lin Youfeng exchanged a glance, and the two chose an adjacent corridor and walked side by side into the depths.

The light in the corridor gradually dimmed, and as you walked, the surrounding scenery suddenly underwent a dramatic change.

The narrow corridor disappeared, replaced by a vast and boundless starry sky.

"Is this the Killing Space?"

Meng Jingrong looked around, a slight smile of excitement curving his lips.

The warlike genes that had been dormant within him for thousands of years seemed to be completely awakened at this moment, stirring restlessly.

He had been lonely for too long.

To him, the Purple Star was nothing more than a small pond.

More than 4,500 years have passed since the breakthrough to the planetary level.

Throughout those long years, he never had a single opportunity to fight with all his might.

"Pudding, submit the application."

A sharp glint flashed in Meng Jingrong's eyes. He licked his lips and continued, "I need five ninth-tier cosmic-level martial artists as opponents. The battle environment will be set on a white dwarf planet."

"In addition, let these five opponents each use the five divine weapons of the Spirit Master Controller, and be able to perfectly unleash the power of the ninth level."

The master of the divine weapon, which perfectly unleashes the power of the ninth level, possesses combat strength comparable to the fifteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge.

The combined strength of five such opponents will undoubtedly put considerable pressure on him.

Only in this way can he fight a battle to his heart's content.

"Master, the application has been submitted," Pudding's voice rang out.

Rumbling--

As soon as he finished speaking, a deafening roar resounded throughout the killing space.

The once vast starry sky instantly twisted and dissipated, and the surrounding environment changed rapidly, replaced by a white dwarf star with its surface covered in molten lava.

The gravity of a white dwarf is terrifyingly strong, tens of thousands of times that of the Purple Star.

As soon as he was inside, Meng Jingrong felt his body suddenly sink, and a seven-colored light emanated from his body, instantly neutralizing the terrifying gravity.

Meng Jingrong wore blood-red armor, held the Crimson Flame Sky-Piercing Spear in his hand, stood on the Divine Rift Weapon, and had the Universe Divine Weapon floating in front of him.

At the same time, five figures appeared out of thin air in the distant sky.

They were all dressed in identical black armor, each wielding one of the five divine weapons.

"kill!"

"Kill him!"

Without any hesitation, the five mentalists roared and charged towards Meng Jingrong, manipulating their divine weapons.

"bring it on!"

Looking at the scene before him, Meng Jingrong revealed a genuinely joyful smile.

The fighting spirit that had been suppressed for thousands of years erupted completely at this moment.

The colorful staff in front of him exploded instantly, transforming into the most perfect form of the Divine Weapon—a 3.3-meter-long, colorful sword.

The seven-colored longsword floated in mid-air, appearing and disappearing as if it might vanish into the void at any moment.

The Ninth Level of the Divine Weapon – Even Immortals Can Be Confronted!

The five divine weapons of the Spirit Master have different names for their first eight levels, and their powers also have different focuses. However, the ultimate secret of the ninth level is that they are all "able to defeat even the immortal".

This is the strongest killing move of the five divine weapons, containing terrifying power comparable to immortality.

Of course, while the five divine weapons each have their own unique characteristics, their strengths also differ.

The strongest of them all is undoubtedly the Yu Divine Weapon, the foremost of the five great controllers' divine weapons.

This divine weapon, with the two supreme laws of time and space at its core, is far superior in nature to other divine weapons that rely on a single supreme law.

If a peak Realm Lord expert were to unleash this move, the Divine Weapon of the Universe would be able to perfectly utilize its two core characteristics.

One method is to traverse the void, disappearing suddenly like "teleportation," and then reappearing at any point to launch a surprise assassination.

Secondly, it possesses the characteristic of being bound by time rules, causing the surrounding time flow to slow down or speed up the moment the divine weapon appears while traversing space, thus making the attack more unpredictable.

Weapons can traverse the void, appearing and disappearing at will, which is naturally much simpler than physical teleportation. The same applies to the laws of time, making it even easier to utilize them with the help of divine weapons.

One can barely use this move if one comprehends the laws of spacetime to the level of the thirteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven, but to use it perfectly, one must reach the fifteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh!"

Five ripples instantly spread across the space around Meng Jingrong, and five divine weapons of different shapes pierced through the void and descended simultaneously.

"So close, yet so far!"

Meng Jingrong let out a low shout, and his figure vanished instantly, reappearing tens of thousands of meters away in the next instant.

This flying technique incorporates the laws of wind and space. With the help of the Divine Weapon of Rift, it instantly escaped the attacks of four of the Divine Weapons of the Controller.

However, the flow of time around that seven-colored longsword suddenly accelerated, as if the image had been fast-forwarded, and it bit into Meng Jingrong at an illogical speed.

"Bang!"

A dull thud exploded in the void.
