Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 65 The Venerable One Expounds the Dharma

Virtual universe, Heilongshan Island.

Inside a magnificent hall, numerous powerful beings at the level of Realm Lords and Domain Lords gathered together.

"Okay... Hahaha!"

The emperor of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire laughed heartily. This time, their Black Dragon Mountain Empire had actually produced five geniuses who passed the preliminary rounds.

It was not surprising that Prince Shen Mu, who had been accepted as a disciple by the great Qianwu Kingdom ruler, and Prince Luo Feng, who was also a member of the Qianwu Secret Realm, were able to pass the preliminary rounds.

I just didn't expect there to be other surprises.

A royal realm lord also spoke up: "Besides the two princes from the Qianwu Secret Realm, two elites from Three Axe Mountain and the Qianwu Dojo, as well as Nabini, the prodigy nurtured by my royal family, have also passed the preliminary rounds. Congratulations!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations!" someone immediately stood up and shouted from below.

"This is all thanks to His Majesty's wise and enlightened rule!"

These sycophantic Realm Lords and Domain Lords are all experts from various families within the Black Dragon Mountain Empire that are affiliated with the royal family, as well as royal experts from the more than 500 primary civilizations under the empire's jurisdiction.

True powerful forces such as Three Axe Mountain and Ice and Snow Divine Kingdom have immortal gods guarding them, so they naturally wouldn't appear in this palace.

……

Virtual universe, Golden Sword Island.

Inside the meditation room of the killing arena, a young savage looked very solemn. In front of him, a virtual screen was playing a video of Shen Mu's final annihilation of Luo Feng and his two companions.

"Merely a disciple of the ruler of the universe... and he's already this powerful!"

Rong Jun clenched his fists, then slowly closed his eyes.

The third level of the Frost God Weapon is said to be invincible at the cosmic level. Even though Rong Jun has great confidence in himself, he doesn't think he can defeat Shen Mu now.

Although I am no match for you now, one day I will surely defeat you.

Godfather, I, Tu Man (Rong Jun), will definitely join the Virtual Universe Company, become an apprentice of the Universe King, and avenge you!

Even if the opponent is the founder of the empire, an immortal being, I will still kill him!

Rong Jun opened his eyes again, his gaze falling on Luo Feng, who had been instantly killed by Shen Mu.

"Luo Feng, the 'Madman,' is also a member of the Qianwu Secret Realm. His understanding of the laws of space is no less than mine!"

Being able to unleash the second level of the Divine Weapon would probably allow one to leave nine illusory bodies in space, something he is far from being able to do now.

"Although his mastery of the laws is higher than mine, he may not necessarily be my match!"

Rong Jun suddenly stood up: "Simulated opponent, ninth-tier Hengxing level, second level of Divine Weapon, three golden swords!"

hum!

As the space shifted, Rong Jun entered a massive training ground, where a black-robed figure carrying a dark gold staff materialized, and a fierce battle was about to erupt!

……

After the preliminary rounds ended, Shen Mu appeared directly in the sky above the Guangyuan Bay residential area on Heilongshan Island.

"Amu!"

"Third brother!"

"Senior brother!"

Inside the courtyard, Hong, Lei Shen, and Luo Feng were already waiting, with Shen Mu being the last to arrive.

Thor stepped forward and lightly punched Shen Mu in the chest: "You're quite something, kid. You've killed over a hundred thousand people. You truly deserve the title of 'God of Slaughter'!"

Hong and Thor were not at all surprised that Shen Mu had achieved first place on the First World Region leaderboard, but the fact that he had slaughtered over 100,000 people was still quite impressive and moved them.

Shen Mu laughed and then said, "Big brother and second brother should have passed the preliminary rounds as well, right?"

Hong nodded slightly: "Yes, the final ranking was 304. He was killed on the last day."

Thor touched his bald head: "I'm alright. I survived to the end and am ranked 864th in points."

Luo Feng said, "At his peak, my brother reached the top 100 in the world rankings. If he hadn't challenged a master who had comprehended the laws at the end, he definitely wouldn't have been killed."

Hong and Luo Feng were both eliminated early on, so they already knew each other's situations.

"Next up is the arena battle stage. There's still a month left, so the eldest and second eldest brothers need to start preparing early."

Compared to the most brutal preliminary rounds, the arena battles were slightly better.

After all, the qualifiers are too unpredictable. Even if you have the ability to pass the qualifiers, you will still be eliminated if you encounter a super expert in the first few days of the qualifiers.

For example, Shen Mu killed the contestant who tried to assassinate him as soon as he entered the preliminaries. The contestant was at the seventh level of the Light Domain and, like Hong, followed the path of darkness, but was eliminated at the very beginning.

Thor's expression turned slightly serious: "I feel I've improved a lot during this qualifying round, after countless battles. Compared to that, the final battle space in the Killing Arena is child's play."

In normal times, you're lucky if you encounter a few domain experts while honing your skills in the killing field. But in the preliminaries, if you haven't mastered a domain, you're just cannon fodder.

The preliminary rounds, which lasted only a month, allowed Thor to vaguely touch the threshold of the seventh level of the Lightning Realm.

As long as he isn't eliminated at the start of the tournament, Thor is confident he can go much further.

"I've gained quite a bit this time. I've been vaguely touched by the fundamental laws of light, and perhaps I have a chance to cross the threshold of the fundamental laws within three years of the arena battles."

A smile appeared on Hong's face. As long as he crossed the threshold of the Origin Law, he would basically secure a spot to represent the Qianwu Universe Kingdom in the final battle of the universe.

"Beep beep!"

While the group was talking, Shen Mu's arm-mounted personal terminal suddenly emitted a notification.

It was an email from Teacher Hantian, containing only four words: "The King summons me."

Shen Mu's expression immediately turned serious as he looked at Luo Feng and the other two: "Brothers, the King wants to see me, I'll go first."

After speaking, Shen Mu connected a wisp of his consciousness to the virtual universe network to log in.

……

The Brilliant Starry Sky Space is the exclusive virtual space of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler. No one can log in without his authorization.

Inside the temple above the starry river, Shen Mu's figure appeared directly in the magnificent and vast main hall.

In the spacious hall, the King of Qianwu sat on his throne, seemingly waiting for Shen Mu.

The moment Shen Mu appeared, an invisible spatial fluctuation swept out, enveloping the entire hall.

Look closely.

The deep voice of the Qianwu Kingdom King rang out, containing an invisible power that instantly calmed Shen Mu's mind.

Then Shen Mu saw a phantom scene unfold. It was a vast, sprawling mountain range, with wisps of mist rising and falling, and the sky was hazy and indistinct.

Suddenly, a few raindrops fell from the sky and landed on the earth, stirring up ripples in the hazy mist and creating nine distinct moods.

At this moment, Shen Mu's consciousness was completely immersed in it, immersed in nine completely different artistic conceptions. He seemed to see the entire universe, infinitely vast and boundless.

In the dim light, Shen Mu seemed to see a blazing star with nine planets orbiting it in specific orbits.

The planet's rotation was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, as if it were responding to something.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Mu felt the scenery before him change again. In the vast starry sky, a towering figure was practicing marksmanship with a gun, each move seemingly stirring up the boundless galaxy.

A moment later, Shen Mu seemed to see nine icicles radiating coldness constantly combining and launching wave after wave of frenzied attacks.

Immersed in these nine profound artistic conceptions, Shen Mu saw countless scenes and combinations, and witnessed the most fundamental mysteries of the nine spaces.
