Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Primal Tenfold Talent

Yuanchen Universe Kingdom.

A cosmic-level qualifier.

Outside the planet where the Third World District is located, three star corridors traversing the sea of ​​stars float silently.

Each planetary world zone is separated by hundreds of billions of kilometers, but traveling through the corridor only requires a distance of a few thousand kilometers.

This is a star corridor that is 1,000 meters wide and about 8,000 kilometers long.

The corridor is shaped like a dark golden, semi-transparent crystal wall, with densely packed runes of laws flowing across its surface.

At this moment, thousands of cosmic-level contestants, in small groups, stood at the exit of this star corridor.

A whooshing sound rang out, and a bald, muscular contestant rushed over, accompanied by a whistling gust of air.

When he saw the scene at the end of the corridor, he stopped abruptly, an incredulous look crossing his face, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "What... what's going on?!"

At the exit of the corridor, countless thick vines, as thick as giant pythons, were wrapped around it.

These vines intertwined and intertwined, forming a dense green barrier that completely sealed off the passage, leaving not a single gap.

"The corridor is completely blocked!"

A contestant with a vertical eye embedded in his forehead spoke in a deep voice, his tone heavy with concern, "We've already tried a combined assault, but the hardness and toughness of these vines are at least comparable to D7-grade or higher cosmic metal. Even with thousands of people working together, we've only left a negligible mark on the surface; we can't budge them at all!"

Above the celestial membrane of the Third World Zone.

Scattered spaceships floated in the void.

Inside one of the most luxurious golden spaceships, several powerful immortals with a deep and unfathomable aura sat together, their gazes all fixed on the huge light screen in front of them.

Within the light screen, a tall, graceful figure was clearly visible.

"These little guys are quite lucky." A female immortal dressed in purple palace attire withdrew her gaze and looked towards the exit of the star corridor in the distance, her voice tinged with laughter. "If they can't get into the 3rd World Zone, they won't have to die in vain."

"This is hardly a cosmic-level competition. Even if I were to personally participate, I wouldn't be confident of winning," said an immortal with a single horn on his forehead.

"Old Bai, stop flattering yourself." The female immortal's lips twitched slightly, her tone filled with undisguised sarcasm. "That 'witch' has at least the peak level of a Marquis-level immortal in terms of her understanding of the laws. You're just barely a Marquis-level immortal, yet you dare to spout such nonsense?"

"Sigh, this is too outrageous..." The Unicorn Immortal sighed softly, his voice filled with desolation.

In the Third World District, atop a towering tree, Xi Yue sat cross-legged, surrounded by a faint light, quietly cultivating.

Several lines of information were clearly displayed on the screen of her arm protector.

Contestant: Xi Yue (Yuan Chen Universe Kingdom)

Yuan Chen Mark: 10080

Ranking: 1

Beneath the giant tree, the entire planet is covered by boundless, lush vegetation, with verdant vines stretching to the horizon.

Viewed from the starry sky, this planet appears as a pure turquoise, like a stunning emerald embedded in the cosmos.

Let's rewind to thirty days ago.

At that time, the planet where the Third World District was located was a prosperous planet full of modern technology; skyscrapers stood side by side, reaching into the clouds.

An invisible, strange force descended, and in the next second, 5.75 million cosmic-level contestants from all over the Yuan Chen Universe Kingdom were instantly teleported to every corner of the planet by this force.

One of the contestants happened to be in the living room of a luxury villa.

As soon as he landed, he felt a terrifying gravitational force far exceeding that of the real universe. This force was like an invisible giant hand, causing his body to sink suddenly, and he couldn't help but gasp.

"This wall." A thought struck him, and the primal force of the universe within his body circulated, gathering in his right fist, and he swung it out fiercely!

A terrifying force poured down, slamming heavily against the villa wall.

Only a shallow fist mark appeared on the wall, accompanied by a few tiny spiderweb cracks, and then there was no further movement.

"What amazing hardness and toughness!" A hint of surprise flashed in the contestant's eyes as he gently touched the marks on the wall. "The pre-competition data was indeed correct. The materials used to build houses, the ground, and all other objects on this planet have a hardness of C9."

His gaze passed through the windowsill and landed outside the window.

"Oh my god, why did it suddenly get dark...?"

Filled with doubt, he moved cautiously to the windowsill like a cat and peered outside.

Outside......

Thick, emerald-green vines, as thick as buckets, burst forth from the ground and cracks in buildings like terrifying beasts breaking free from ancient seals, growing wildly and rapidly.

These vines move at an astonishing speed. Wherever they go, whether it's a room made of C9 grade strength materials or a towering skyscraper, everything is as fragile as paper, instantly torn apart, swallowed up, and eventually disappears!

"What...what the hell is this?!"

Amidst the horrified gazes of the contestants, a thick vine swept across, and all the contestants hiding in the building were instantly reduced to ashes before they could even utter a scream.

In the heart of a bustling metropolis, atop the tallest skyscraper.

Luo Chen stood against the wind, dressed in a silver-white battle suit and white combat boots, his robes fluttering in the wind.

"Holding the sun and moon in my hands, plucking stars from the sky, there is no one like me in this world!"

A deep voice rang out, and Luo Chen slowly turned around, his figure as upright as a jade tree. He gazed intently at the distant starry sky and murmured softly, "If Heaven had not given birth to me, Luo Chen, the human race would have been shrouded in eternal darkness."

However, just as he was indulging in self-admiration...

The ground throughout the city suddenly began to shake violently!

Amidst the deafening roar, countless dense, emerald-green vines sprouted from the ground like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, instantly spreading to every corner of the city.

"What the hell is this thing?!"

As the number one ranked super genius in the universe of Yuan Chen Holy Land, Luo Chen's reaction speed far surpasses that of ordinary people.

A luminous moon wheel instantly appeared beneath his feet, and with a swift movement, he shot into the sky like a streak of light, narrowly avoiding the attack of the vines.

The skyscraper he had just stood on was instantly and completely swallowed up by the endless lush green vines, which were now wrapped around it wildly.

Looking down, Luo Chen saw that the entire city had been completely transformed into a green ocean.

Countless vines rampaged through the city, destroying everything in their path.

"What's going on?"

The scene before him sent chills down his spine and stirred up a storm of emotions within him.

He clearly saw that many contestants who reacted a little slower were entangled by the vines chasing from behind as soon as they took off, and were instantly strangled and killed in a rain of blood.

Just then, a vine as thick as a bucket suddenly shot up from the ground, accompanied by a whistling sound, like a green lightning bolt, and swiftly chased after Luo Chen in mid-air!

"go!"

High in the sky, Luo Chen's eyes narrowed, and 1008 light blades instantly flew out from the white and gold interwoven short staff behind him.

These light blades maintained a subtle distance from each other, and countless intricate silver threads linked them together. The entire surface of the light pillar was covered with extremely complex star patterns, which eventually coalesced into a huge light sword that exuded a terrifying aura.

The master of the five divine weapons—the ultimate divine weapon.

Ninefold Starry Sky.

"Fifth level, Radiant Light Slashes Through the Stars!"

The wind howled, making Luo Chen's battle armor flutter wildly. His cold gaze locked onto the vines that shot skyward. With a gentle flick of his wrist, his lightsaber moved as if it were an extension of his arm, instantly slashing fiercely at the vines!

"Buzz—!"

A deafening buzz resounded through the heavens and earth as the lightsaber, carrying a world-destroying aura, slammed heavily into the thick vines.

However, the anticipated scene of the vines breaking and crashing down did not happen!

The lightsaber was like a machete striking a hard tree trunk; it only cut halfway before getting stuck and unable to advance any further.

"How is that possible!"

Luo Chen's expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with disbelief and horror.

At that moment, countless even thicker vines in the city, as if receiving some kind of signal, shot up into the sky simultaneously, sweeping densely towards the falling dust in mid-air...

......

At the summit of the snow-capped mountain, goose-feather snowflakes fell like shattered jade.

Meng Jingrong sat cross-legged, surrounded by a layer of seven-colored halo. His eyes were slightly closed, as if he had merged with this icy and snowy world.

The screen on the arm protector glowed with a soft blue light in the wind and snow, displaying lines of text clearly and prominently:

Contestant: Meng Jingrong (Yunhe Empire)

Flame Dragon Mark: 51623

Ranking: 1

At the foot of the snow-capped mountain, the crowd of onlookers had long since dispersed, leaving only a few scattered figures.

These people, without exception, were all strong individuals who had obtained the Flame Dragon Totem in the preliminary rounds.

At this moment, their faces were calm and composed, with only their gaze occasionally drifting towards the snow-capped mountain peak, a look of awe flashing in their eyes, as they quietly awaited the final conclusion of the preliminary rounds.

"Countdown to the end of the preliminaries: 60...59...58...57...56..." A majestic and deep voice echoed in the minds of all the participants, causing many martial artists in various world zones to fall into a state of complete anxiety and madness.

"I was confident I could break into the top 1000 in the world!"

A black-clad warrior clenched his fists, his eyes filled with resentment.

"What terrible luck... I've searched the entire world and haven't found a single totem!"

The woman in white stamped her foot and sighed, her voice filled with despair.

"It's too late..."

Someone murmured softly.

"kill!"

In an instant, sounds of battle erupted.

"Father, you've already obtained 10 marks. Since you can't break into the top three in the world anyway, I might as well kill you—that way we can both participate in the Reincarnation War!"

A cold voice rang out.

"My lord, please close your eyes, I'll be gentle..."

The woman held a long sword, her face displaying a twisted tenderness.

In the final countdown, chaos erupted in all the world zones.

Family ties and friendships are incredibly fragile in the face of limited spots.

Only Meng Jingrong, atop the snow-capped mountain, remained calm, as if the world's troubles had nothing to do with him, silently awaiting the end.

「10……9……8……7……6……5……4……3……2……1！传送。」

In 100 world zones each at the cosmic and epochal levels, all survivors vanished instantly.

Immediately afterwards, those virtual worlds began to collapse and dissipate inch by inch. Mountains, rivers, sun, moon and stars all turned into nothingness, as if they had never existed.

At the same time, the final rankings of each world zone were announced to the entire universe through the cosmic network, attracting the attention of countless races.

Preliminaries are over!

The spots for the Cosmic Finals and the Reincarnation Tournament have been officially decided!
