Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Family Revitalization

Chapter 99 A Devastating Slaughter

on the mainland.

More than 800 billion participants gathered together, so densely packed that the end could not be seen. Many of them knew each other and chatted together. Some were as tall as giants, while others were short, like dwarfs. There were all sorts of people.

"Attention everyone, this qualifier is divided into one hundred world zones. You will be teleported to your respective world zones shortly. Please check your weapons and equipment as soon as possible."

As the sound echoed over the mainland.

Everyone, including Shen Ping and Luo Feng, subconsciously checked their battle suits, swords, and telekinetic weapons.

Besides the Flame God Blade he carried on his back, Shen Ping also had an ordinary second-tier Force Battle Blade in his hand, along with a second-tier Force Battle Suit and combat boots.

boom.

The countdown began soon after.

Amidst a chorus of mutual blessings, all eight hundred billion participants vanished.

Such a grand event, a battle of the universe's top geniuses, is closely watched by everyone from the rulers of cosmic kingdoms to ordinary citizens. After all, it is a once-in-ten-thousand-years event that belongs to all mankind. Of course, some kings and even most venerable beings will only pay attention to it briefly and will not focus on it in particular.

The main reason is that in previous genius battles, very few geniuses have emerged that can be valued by Venerables. Even geniuses like Bolan, who only appear once every tens of thousands of epochs, were not taken seriously. The universe is vast and geniuses are born every once in a while, but very few can truly grow up, let alone become a Venerable of the universe.

However, the rulers of the universe usually pay attention to this, because most of them can obtain contribution points for their race by cultivating geniuses. Each Genius Battle and Strongman Battle is a grand event carried out in cooperation with various universe nations.

He paid particular attention to the heavily responsible ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, almost every term.

And after the qualifiers began.

Outside the planets of the 100 world zones in the virtual universe, many spaceships have appeared. The elimination round of the first stage of the Genius Battle is not broadcast live to the public; only the rankings are announced. Some members of the imperial family and the relatives of the contestants go to the outside of their respective world zones to watch, even though they can't see anything.

Inside one of the luxury spaceships.

Princess Brolin, the Ninth Princess, and the other princes and princesses from the same medium-sized universe country stayed together, watching the ranking changes displayed on the screen.

As princes and princesses, it would be a great honor for their universe to have any contestants pass the preliminary selection. Conversely, if they didn't have even one, it would mean that their universe was very remote, like a rural area, and they would be easily looked down upon. In the future, they would not be able to hold their heads high or stand up straight in banquets or other public occasions.

"Bloryn, none of your Black Dragon Mountain Star Region members passed the preliminaries, right?"

"Qingyu, just a few words. The Black Dragon Mountain Star Region is located in a remote area, and the chances of producing geniuses are very small. It would be good if there were a few experts at the fifth or sixth level of the domain."

"Yes, it's something everyone knows, there's no need to say it out loud."

Brolin, instead of showing any displeasure at these harsh words, smiled faintly and said, "Qingyu, this time my Black Dragon Mountain Empire is different from the past. Just you wait and see."

These words were spoken.

Many princes and princesses from other empires looked at them with strange eyes.

Those who can come to this luxurious spaceship are basically princes and princesses from various medium-sized universe countries, and most of them are confirmed to inherit the throne as the next emperor.

With a cool and aloof expression, Qingyu smiled and said, "Then I'll wait and see."

……

88th World Zone.

Inside an ordinary living room in a high-rise building.

Shen Ping shook his head, and the scenery before him gradually became clear. There were coffee tables, sofas, dining tables, water glasses, and other items. He felt the gravity and smiled. The gravity here was tens of thousands of times stronger than on Earth. The buildings and other items were all made of B9 grade materials, and it would take some force to destroy them.

I glanced at the screen on the arm protector.

A lot of information has already come from above.

Contestant: Shen Ping (Heilongshan Empire).

Points: 0

Ranking: None.

World zone: 88.

Time: The preliminary round lasts for 30 days. At the end of the time, the winner will be determined by the final ranking points.

Note: The 88th World Zone is a continent modeled after the planet Shuisi in the real-world Qianwu Universe Kingdom...

Scoring rules: Killing a contestant earns 1 point, and you also gain half of the points the opponent has.

Ranking rules: You will still be ranked even if you die. The higher your score, the better you will be, even if you die early.

Look back.

He walked to the balcony of the living room and looked at the tall buildings outside. In the distance, he could vaguely see the ocean. Most of this planet, Waterworld, was covered with mountains and forests, and the tall buildings were located on the mountains.

boom.

As the sound of shattering glass rang out, a great deal of vibration followed. Clearly, the contestants, who had just adapted, began to fight. Each world zone had more than eight billion contestants, with a basic area of ​​more than ten million square kilometers. The population density was extremely high. In the high-rise building where Shen Ping was now, almost every room had a contestant.

The initial battles were naturally incredibly fierce, and even experts could easily be surrounded and killed.

However, Shen Ping was not afraid of being surrounded. Although he was a martial artist, he had a high level of understanding of the fundamental laws of space. If he relied on his physical talent, he could already unleash more than fifty illusory bodies. If his spatial law talent had not been transformed for a long time, he would definitely have been able to unleash even more illusory bodies.

Even though he couldn't use his physical talents because of the virtual universe, he had already reached the second level of the Nine Illusions Body technique in the martial arts movement secret method "Illusory Void".

To know.

The more illusions you have, the faster your movement speed.

However, he was in no hurry to make a move.

In the early stages, killing one person only earns 1 point, which is a complete waste of time and energy. Wait until the qualifiers last for five or six days, then you can hunt down skilled players and your points will increase very quickly.

In fact, most experts in their respective fields, as well as geniuses in the laws of magic, thought the same as Shen Ping: in the early stages, they stayed close to the teleportation location.

They were very confident in their abilities and believed they would definitely pass the qualifiers.

On the contrary, some ordinary-strength, low-confidence ninth-level contestants fought fiercely from the very beginning, trying to get as many points as possible so that even if they didn't survive to the end, they could still maintain a high ranking.

Boom boom boom boom!!

The sounds of fighting outside grew louder and louder.

Below the skyscrapers, more than 10,000 people were fighting like a street brawl, a scene that was extremely bloody and cruel.

"That was really intense."

Shen Ping stretched, casually twirled the ordinary second-tier Force battle sword in his hand, and then... he burst out of the balcony glass with a bang, and in the blink of an eye, he landed on the street. Immediately, psychic weapons came flying at him.

Without even glancing at it, he raised his hand and slashed the telekinetic weapon away with a single stroke. Then, with an eerie and lightning-fast speed, he charged through the chaotic crowd. With each flash of his fiery blade, a contestant would fall to the ground.

Some masters are afraid of being surrounded; that's because they're not strong enough.

As a genius with nine domains and a profound understanding of the laws of fire, who could barely unleash the fourth level of the Flame God Blade, Shen Ping didn't take the tens of thousands of contestants below seriously at all. Even if they all ganged up on him, it wouldn't matter.

Puff puff puff!

His knife was too fast.

Any contestant who encounters it will be utterly powerless to resist; even experts in the field will meet the same fate.

In just a few minutes.

The remaining contestants on the street were terrified and frantically fled into the high-rise buildings. Only in densely packed rooms could they possibly escape. If they ran straight down the street, Shen Ping could easily catch up with them at his speed.

"This guy is absolutely a genius of the laws, a genius who has mastered the fundamental laws of fire, and his movement speed is extremely abnormal!"

"What bad luck! I ran into such a monster at the location I was teleported to!"

"I have to leave this area while things are still chaotic, otherwise I won't be able to get enough points!"

Shen Ping's massacre attracted the attention of some experts in the surrounding high-rise buildings. Their expressions changed drastically, and they quickly fled into the distance.

After half an hour.

The entire street was littered with corpses.

The mountain breeze carried the stench of blood.

His fire blade slowly descended, his gaze sweeping over the towering buildings on either side. Genetic energy surged forth. "You experts hiding in those rooms, I'm giving you a day to clear your floors, then come down and die!"

These words were spoken.

Many of the experts who hadn't had time to escape looked grim.

"That's outrageous!"

"Even if they've grasped the fundamental laws of fire, so what? This is only the early stage of the preliminaries. With so many participants, we could overwhelm them with sheer numbers!"

"Kill him! I don't believe he can face hundreds or thousands of people attacking him all at once."

Having witnessed Shen Ping's terrifying prowess, the contestants knew there was no escape at this moment. Rather than helping the other contestants clear out the floor, they might as well charge in and fight their way through, where there might still be a sliver of hope for escape.

Boom boom boom boom!

Almost instantly, hundreds of Star-level beings rushed towards Shen Ping's location from various floors and rooms. Among them, the psychic cultivators who controlled psychic weapons were the first to attack.

"Good timing!"

Shen Ping grinned, and then his body instantly unleashed nine illusory forms, which flashed out in an instant, killing the first dozen or so contestants with a single strike.

next moment.

He had already used some balconies to rush to the mentalists hiding not far away and slaughtered them one by one.

"My God, these, these nine illusory bodies!!"

"It's the fundamental law of space! He... he not only mastered the fundamental law of fire, but he's also stepped into the fundamental law of space!!"

"A monster, an absolute monster! He's definitely the strongest in this world zone!"

The contestants in the high-rise buildings on both sides of the street were in despair; none of them had expected to encounter such a freak in the area they were teleported to.

"kill!"

"Clear this floor first, then find a chance to escape!"

three days later.

The streets were piled high with corpses.

Shen Ping shook his head as he watched the fleeing experts at the Hengxing level. He didn't chase after them. Those guys were indeed clever and decisive. Although he was very strong, he was still just one person. When killing other contestants, he couldn't take care of everyone.

Looking up at the tall buildings blocking out the sunlight, he knew there must be many contestants hiding inside.

He didn't care about that.

My gaze swept toward the screen on the arm guard.

Contestant: Shen Ping (Heilongshan Empire)

Points: 86750

Ranking: 38010

He gained over 80,000 points in just three days, which was fast enough. He didn't expect to be ranked only over 30,000. This made Shen Ping sigh. The fighting speed of martial artists was still not good enough. If it were a mentalist, controlling mental weapons to kill would be a real massacre.

Unlike him, even if he's fast, it still takes time to chase him down.
