Swallowing the Stars: Reboot, The Eternal Serpent!

Chapter 86 Is there anything you can't do?

"Thirteen, your Qianwu Universe Kingdom has made a significant contribution this time, nurturing a genius that appears only once every ten thousand epochs. Judging from his current performance, he has already subtly surpassed Bolan, and is now ranked first in this year's Genius Battle. I have high hopes for him, and I have high hopes for your Qianwu Universe Kingdom!"

"I estimate that even by the end of the trial, most of the top 20 will probably still be stuck on the fifth trial tower."

"We'll see how he performs in the sixth seat to see if he can hold onto the top spot."

Sitting near Thirteen, an immortal with silver hair and a silver robe spoke highly of Jiang Zhe and praised him generously.

An immortal chimed in, "To be able to cultivate the time-based flight technique 'Realm of Shadows' to the third level, 'Hundred Shadows Domain,' and to look at how effortlessly he manages it, I reckon once he enters Chaos City, he'll immediately be able to clear the first three levels of a certain time faction's Heavenly Bridge!"

"His telekinetic weapon is called... Beast God's Hand? I don't know much about it, so I can't comment."

Everyone couldn't help but look at the immortal fox spirit sitting among the seats.

She was surrounded by a hazy mist, which made one feel as if they were in a dream at first glance, and a sense of drowsiness would permeate their consciousness.

"The Little Beast God's Hand, a psychic weapon created based on the Destroyer Beast, was originally tailor-made by our king for a prince..."

"Its seventh layer can unleash the effect of 'time freeze,' but because its destructive power is insufficient, it is slightly inferior to the nine divine weapons of the controller."

"Judging from the extent to which he can control nine beams of lightning as if they were his own limbs, he has a very solid foundation as a master, a strong consciousness, and a high level of understanding of the laws of lightning and time."

"Immortal Alyssa, the leader of the Dream Universe Kingdom, commented."

Both the large and small hands of the Beast God were psychic weapons created by their king, so she naturally had the most authority to speak on the matter.

An immortal in purple robes couldn't help but say, "I've wanted to say this for a long time. His comprehension of the lightning law is exceptionally high. If he enters Chaos City and focuses on studying the lightning law, he might be recognized by the fundamental lightning law when he comes out!"

"Really? This is just a small guy at the Heng level. Chaos City will only be at the cosmic level in 30 years. You guys are overestimating him."

"Indeed, the praise is too exaggerated! In the thirty years of Chaos City, a cosmic-level being can gain the recognition of a lower-level primordial law? If such a thing really happened, I would definitely doubt that I was dreaming."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

……

More than a thousand immortals argued about this matter.

Thirteen wore a helpless expression, but was actually quite pleased inside, thinking to himself, "Regardless of what the future holds, His Majesty's current goal is for you to get first place. I hope you won't disappoint His Majesty!"

"We haven't had a genius ranked in the top 20 for over a hundred sessions..."

In the live stream, Jiang Zhe had already entered the sixth trial tower.

The first level still has 10,000 blood-haired mammoths, but the terrifying thing is that they all possess their own domains!

A massive horde of blood-haired mammoths trampled down, their enormous bodies charging and crashing, spreading out countless domains and turning the entire battlefield into their domain.

"Domain? Look at mine!"

A dark purple lightning field opened up, and Jiang Zhe kept its diameter at 100 meters to maintain maximum power.

Then, he unleashed the "Hundred Shadows Domain".

Suddenly, a hundred time illusions appeared, forming a unique cycle. The area covered by these illusions was Jiang Zhe's absolute domain.

Nine beams of lightning surged, killing the blood-haired mammoths that trampled towards them, turning the dark purple sphere, a hundred meters in diameter, into a grinding wheel of flesh and blood.

Every second, dozens of blood-soaked mammoths have their brains pierced.

……

Outside, the arguments among the immortals had long since subsided, but watching Jiang Zhe's performance in the live broadcast sparked a small-scale commotion.

"Hey, this application of the domain is quite good."

"Indeed, the understanding of lightning and the laws of time has been incorporated into the practical application. Furthermore, the 'Hundred Shadows Domain' is used even better and more subtly, forming a kind of 'dual domain,' achieving absolute control!"

"With these methods, they should be able to hold out for a long time on the first level of the seventh level, but if that's all they're capable of, they probably won't be able to get past the first level of the seventh level."

Many immortals subsequently offered their comments.

Thirteen remained calm and composed, a smile playing on his lips, but he controlled the intensity of the smile well, preventing himself from losing his composure.

"Thirteen, just laugh if you want to. It's so annoying to hold it in!"

An immortal with a lion's head and a human body patted Thirteen on the shoulder.

"Your Qianwu Universe Kingdom really showed off in front of the Nine Swords Venerable this time! Not only Jiang Zhe, but also Rong Jun. The latter's progress is also very good, currently stable in the top 50. Maybe he can break into the top 30 or even the top 20 after the trial ends!"

Thirteen smiled and poured the lionman a full glass of wine. Everything was understood without words. How satisfying!

……

While the immortals were talking, Jiang Zhe had already slaughtered all ten thousand blood-haired mammoths.

The second level, with its ten thousand nine-headed pythons, also possesses a domain.

Jiang Zhe used the same approach, overwhelming the opponent's domain with his superior domain strength.

But this time, moving around and dodging the energy spray from the 90,000 snake heads, and killing them one by one in a guerrilla-style manner, took a long time to complete the level.

Unlike the first level, the ten thousand blood-haired mammoths were mindless and practically ran straight into the knives.

After resting briefly, we went up to the third floor.

The number of enemies has been reduced tenfold, totaling 1000 Tuoluo metal lifeforms. Although their individual strength has increased, they do not actually put much pressure on Jiang Zhe.

Third level, successfully cleared!

The fourth level consists of a thousand flying beasts. They are not very intelligent and are easily tricked by mental masters. You can clear the level!

Fifth floor, mechanical puppets, cleared!

On the sixth floor, Cang was too big and not flexible, and was tricked again. He passed the level!

The seventh level, the Zerg Queen!

Once again, the "Hundred Shadows Domain" displayed its power, slaying one Green Mantis and Blood Mantis warrior after another, clearing a bloody path to reach the Queen Mother.

Despite the allure and the impact of psychic power, nine beams of lightning blasted the insect hive to smithereens!

In fact, the difficulty increases only slightly between the seven floors of each trial tower. If you can get past the first floor, you'll likely be able to get past the second and third floors as well.

The real challenge comes from the new Trial Tower.

For example, the stone pillars at the entrance of this building are marked with the number "seven," and even Bolan failed on the first floor.

Jiang Zhe glanced down at the leaderboard on his wrist screen.

No.1 Jiang Zhe (Qianwu Universe Kingdom), Points: 7777770000

NO.2 Bolan (Noah's Universe), Points: 577770000

……

"Still on the 5th floor of the 5th building?"

After calculating Bolan's current performance, Jiang Zhe walked into the seventh trial tower with a smile on his face.

He has already grasped 14 of the mysteries of the laws of time, and his overall understanding of the first 36 mysteries has reached 5%. What level can he reach next? [Note 1]

Oh right, I almost forgot about the 9 mysteries of the Space Law, the 57 mysteries of the Thunder Element, and the 22 mysteries of the Earth Element.

On the first level, ten thousand blood-haired mammoths trampled down.

Each one unleashed its domain and attacked with the laws of law; each one was equivalent to the top 100 geniuses in the entire ranking... This was simply a nightmare!

Using the same approach, Jiang Zhe opened up his lightning domain.

This time, however, instead of limiting it to a diameter of 100 meters to maximize its power, he expanded it to the limit he could control, spreading and thinning out the force.

In an instant, a thousand youths clad in dark purple metal armor appeared within the domain, each one indistinguishable from the real one. Electric snakes crackled around them, and beams of heavenly punishment lightning seemed capable of shooting out from any angle.

【Realm of Shadows - Realm of a Thousand Shadows】!

The lightning was intense!

Fully leveraging the speed advantage of the Time faction, each beam seems to be accelerated by time, so fast that it is impossible to catch a trace.

puff!puff!puff……

The scene that had played out in the first level of the sixth building was reproduced. The area covered by Jiang Zhe's domain was completely transformed into a meat grinder, and any blood-haired mammoths that approached were precisely killed!

One after another, the blood-haired mammoths crashed to the ground.

Some of the blood-haired mammoths rushed into the domain, shattering Jiang Zhe's illusion, but then seemed to step into a quagmire, their speed greatly reduced, and they could no longer touch Jiang Zhe's figure. Instead, a beam of lightning pierced through their brains.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Every second, dozens of woolly mammoths die.

Furthermore, as the number of enemies decreased, Jiang Zhe felt less pressure and his killing speed increased dramatically.

……

Outside, the immortals, being discerning individuals, noticed the anomaly in Jiang Zhe's domain.

"Space? In the realm where he integrated his understanding of the laws of lightning and time, he also mixed in his understanding of the laws of space?"

"Thirteen, what's going on? I've never heard of this kid comprehending the laws of space?"

"This level... is probably around the level of the third level of the Sky Bridge, right? And judging from the effect, it's specifically aimed at the 'space sealing' school of thought."

"Spatial confinement, time acceleration—quite a clever kid!"

"To say he's a genius that only appears once every ten thousand epochs? I think we're being too conservative!"

Thirteen was unable to respond to the crowd; he was also speechless, stunned by Jiang Zhe's excellence.

……

Only Jiang Zhe himself felt it was nothing.

He knew that Berlan was also on this path and had already gained some understanding of the laws of time through the wind domain.

After unleashing their full power, the first level of the seventh dungeon was quickly cleared.

With the help of "Thousand Shadows Domain", they successfully passed through the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth levels without any surprises.

The seventh level, the Zerg mother hive!

The first wave consists of 300 Blood Mantises and 3000 Green Mantises!

Judging by quantity alone, it's about the same as the 3000 blue mantises on the seventh floor of the fifth tower.

But that's not how you calculate it.

One Blood Mantis can command ten Green Mantises, making them function as one and unleashing a more terrifying effect than 100 Green Mantises.

Therefore, the 3300 Zerg in front of us can be divided into 300 Blood Mantis squads, unleashing a combat power exceeding that of 30000 Green Mantises!

Two hundred squads attacked Jiang Zhe from the sky, while the remaining 100 squads encircled him from the ground and underground, leaving him no opening.

"A useless strategy!"

scoff!

The lightning field opened.

Swish! Swish! Swish...

A thousand illusory bodies emerge simultaneously, forming the "Thousand Shadow Domain," triggering special effects. The changing figures create a unique cycle, making the situation even more bizarre and unpredictable.

This is far more powerful than creating thousands or even hundreds of separate illusory bodies.

The nine bolts of lightning that swept around him were swift and fierce. Even though the Blood Mantis and the Green Mantis were like one, Jiang Zhe was able to find an opportunity to accurately kill the Blood Mantis who commanded the squad.

More than ten minutes passed, and the Blood Mantis had lost more than 40% of its strength. The Queen Mother was anxious, as it would still take her eight or nine minutes to spawn the next wave of Zerg.

The Queen Mother couldn't hold back any longer and intervened directly.

The alluring voice entered Jiang Zhe's ears, and the sharp mental power pierced into his mind, causing the three-tiered pagoda to tremble slightly.

The Void Tower blocked the mental attack, and Jiang Zhe's strong will prevented him from being affected by the charm.

"Since you're so impatient, then I'll send you to your death ahead of time!"

"combine!"

With a low shout from Jiang Zhe, nine beams of three-foot-long lightning bolts converged together.

A total of 81 fine needles were reassembled, and countless dark purple silk threads were intertwined and wrapped around them, eventually forming a lightning spear that was 3.3 meters long!

The spear was illuminated by intense lightning, radiating an aura of annihilation.

The Hand of Destruction, the Second Layer: The Spear of Punishment!

Jiang Zhe's mental strength is not strong enough, but his consciousness and will are powerful. Combined with his superb understanding of the laws, he can use this form with ease.

The lightning spear shot towards the insect hive.

Blood Mantis and his Green Mantis squad fought valiantly to block the attack, their combined assault landing on the spear. The spear remained unmoved, piercing through the bodies of the Zerg warriors who tried to stop them, and a bolt of lightning pierced deep into the Zerg nest.

Bang!

It exploded into a cloud of blood and flesh like fireworks.

The Zerg squad, attempting to relieve the siege of Wei by attacking Zhao, rushed in front of Jiang Zhe, but without the Queen's command, they immediately became headless flies.

Jiang Zhe took out the Shadow Slayer Spear from his spatial ring, transformed into a martial artist, and used his incredibly sharp spear technique to shatter the heads of the Zerg warriors that came close to him.

Seventh floor, cleared!

The score on the wrist screen changed subtly.

[No.1 Jiang Zhe (Qianwu Universe Kingdom), Points: 77777770000]

……

Outside, those who have witnessed Jiang Zhe's transformation from time to space, from controller to martial artist, are already numb. Is there anything he can't do?

[Note 1]: It is roughly equivalent to the level of the sixth level of the Tongtian Bridge. With 12 kinds of mysteries from Luo Feng and 8% comprehension of the "Fine Rain Picture", you can easily pass the sixth level of the Tongtian Bridge.

It's late, but it's 3500 words long.

Regarding the annotations, it was said by Luo Feng himself, and the original title was "Chapter 525 The Sixth Level of the Bridge to Heaven" on Qiuqiu Reading.

Three more chapters to go! Three more chapters!
