Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger.

Chapter 90: Fighting the Lord of the Witch Kingdom

2067 1 Month 1 Day.

Three months have passed since the final battle in the ring, and all 625 spots in the finals have been decided. Now, a long series of battles is underway to determine the final 275 spots.

In that battle, Hong's defeat was naturally without any suspense.

After all, the difference in strength between the two sides is quite obvious.

Fortunately, despite facing Luo Shen's terrifying strength, Hong was not discouraged. Instead, his personal experience gave him a more intuitive understanding of the laws, and his strength began to steadily improve.

If we can make a breakthrough in the cycle of battles.

Even if they don't make it to the finals, they can still enter the Qianwu Secret Realm to receive training.

As for Luo Feng...

His fateful battle with Rong Jun ultimately ended in Rong Jun's victory.

Although Luo Feng's appearance allowed him to possess the Golden Horned Beast earlier, and his continued use of the best combination of metals to promote the growth of his inner world resulted in his strength far surpassing that of his contemporaries.

This is especially evident in the understanding of the fundamental principle of metal!

In the original novel, when Luo Feng and Rong Jun first clashed, even at the final moment of their power, they only used two golden illusion swords. In fact, the power was even reduced because they forcibly condensed a second golden illusion sword.

Clearly, Luo Feng's understanding of the fundamental laws of metal is lower than Rong Jun's.

And this point.

This was also reflected in the words of the thirteen divine generals later on. Their original words were: "Rong Jun, you are the only one among our Qianwu Universe Kingdom who is confident that you will not be eliminated."

As for the others, there's not much hope!

It would be good enough if Luo Feng could even break into the top 5,000; his chances of breaking into the top 1,000 are extremely slim!

Obviously.

In the eyes of the higher-ups of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, among this generation of geniuses, only Rong Jun has a chance to break into the top 1000 in the universe. As for the others, even Luo Feng, who has been performing better and better in the Reincarnation Battle, does not have the ability to break into the top 1000.

But in this life.

Luo Shen, like a butterfly of destiny, fluttered his wings and set the gears of fate in motion. Even though Luo Feng had not yet comprehended the fundamental laws of space because the Demon Slayer Clan's avatar had not yet been conceived.

But at this moment, Luo Feng still firmly possesses the strength to be ranked among the top 1000 in the universe!

In that battle.

At the start of the battle, Luo Feng unleashed three golden illusion swords simultaneously, forcing Rong Jun to retreat steadily. After a round of attacks, Luo Feng even forced Rong Jun to take out the Earth-Splitting Blade!

Not only that!

Faced with Rong Jun's five spatial illusions, Luo Feng instantly conjured five golden illusion swords! Even though each sword only possessed 70% of its strongest power, it was still enough to give Rong Jun a good beating!

If it weren't for the vast difference in their agility, allowing Rong Jun to seize the opportunity to close in and deliver a powerful, mountain-like strike that knocked Luo Feng unconscious.

It remains to be seen who the ultimate victor will be!

But this battle between the two further solidified Luo Shen's reputation as the "Number One Genius of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom"! Especially the contrast between Rong Jun's five illusory bodies and Luo Shen's thousands of illusory bodies.

The difference is too obvious!

too strong!

It's important to understand that the celestial level is not the most suitable stage for comprehending the fundamental laws!

Most powerful individuals only begin to comprehend the laws once they reach the level of a realm lord.

Because once you reach the Realm Lord level, you can merge into the origin of the universe. At this point, the difficulty of comprehending the laws of origin is greatly reduced. Many powerful individuals even deliberately stay at the Realm Lord level for millions of years in order to comprehend the laws before finally stepping into immortality and condensing an immortal body!

Luo Shen is only a star now!

Yet he has managed to comprehend the fundamental laws of space to this extent, surpassing the vast majority of realm lords over the past tens of millions of years. He is definitely a strong contender for the overall championship of this universe's pinnacle genius battle!

In previous years, this championship would have been a sure thing.

Unfortunately, this year's cohort produced a monstrous talent, "Death God" Bolan, who was just as terrifying as Luo Shen. Bolan's understanding of the fundamental laws of space was no less than Luo Shen's, and was even stronger!

Therefore, everyone agrees that the champion of this year's Genius Battle will be decided between the two of them!

This alarmed even the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom!

In the original work, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom did not personally guide the geniuses under his command like the rulers of other universe kingdoms. There are several reasons for this. First, neither Luo Feng nor Rong Jun came from the Qianwu Secret Realm.

Secondly, neither of them had particularly outstanding performances within the universe.

Even Rong Jun, who is more outstanding than the other two, is only ranked in the top 1000 in the universe. In his eyes, he is nothing special, and even if he is given guidance, he will not improve much.

But things are different now.

Luo Shen, Rong Jun, and Luo Feng all performed quite well!

Especially Luo Shen, who is a strong contender for the overall championship of this year's Genius Battle! The weight of the three words "overall champion" is enough to make the King of Qianwu Kingdom put aside his pride and personally take action.

********

In a virtual universe, within a special cultivation plane on the Qianwu Continent.

"Your Majesty!" Luo Shen said respectfully.

The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom had a face somewhat similar to that of humans on Earth, and a rather thin build. He stood in front of Luo Shen wearing a simple training outfit. Even a simple glance from him made Luo Shen feel as if he were in a black hole in the starry sky.

This kind of suppression on a life level involuntarily inspires awe in people.

"Um."

The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom nodded, his calm voice emanating from his throat: "Now I will demonstrate the first nine sword techniques from the 'Bloodstained' manual. If you can master any one of these nine techniques before the finals, defeating Bolan will be a piece of cake!"

Luo Shen nodded.

The Bloodstained Secret Technique is a set of secret techniques created by the peerless genius Lian Luo millions of years ago.

This set of secret techniques perfectly interprets the 108 profound essences of the fundamental laws of space. Even if one of them is only understood, it can greatly increase the threat of Luo Shen's movement technique!

"Since you use a knife, I will demonstrate it to you with a knife."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom looked at Luo Shen, stretched out his right hand, and a battle sword automatically appeared in his hand. The sword was thirty centimeters wide and half a person tall, and was similar in style to the Ghostly Blade that Luo Shen used.

At the same time, the cultivation plane transforms into spatial changes, transforming into a cosmic starry sky scene.

"Look carefully."

In an instant, the eyes of the Qianwu Kingdom ruler seemed to transform into a blazing star. He raised his battle sword high, and his entire being seemed to transform into a soaring battle sword. The giant axe formed by his powerful will alone caused the entire space to tremble as if it were about to crack open.

call!

A simple swing of the knife!

The starry sky before them froze as if it were paper, then cracked open, even slicing the star in front of them, and the entire cultivation space trembled violently.

The starry sky then vanished, and the scene returned to normal.

"Huh?" Luo Shen's eyes widened, the scene from just now flashing through his mind again and again.

Raise your knife!

The power of willpower is concentrated to its extreme!

He swung his sword, the space froze, and then cracked like paper!

"This single strike contains the first nine sword techniques from the 'Bloodstained' manual!"

The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom gave Luo Shen a deep look: "From now on, I will come and demonstrate for you every three months. If there's anything you don't understand, come and ask me again after three months!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Luo Shen replied respectfully.

The other party was not his teacher, yet he was able to do this much, showing more care and responsibility than ordinary teachers. If it weren't for the other party's identity as "Qian Wu," Luo Shen would probably have been tempted to become the master of the Qianwu Kingdom.

"Okay, keep up the good work, I hope you won't let me down!"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom uttered a single sentence and then vanished without a trace.

First update delivered!

There will be two more updates later, and if I say three, then it will be three. It may be late, but it will be here!
