I picked up attributes in Swallowing Star.

The Battle of the Ultimate Geniuses of Humanity in the Universe: Preliminaries Begin Simultaneously Across All Universe Nations!

As a grand event for all humanity, everyone from the high and mighty immortals to ordinary cosmic citizens who can access the virtual cosmic network is paying close attention to this event. Of course, as powerful individuals and citizens of the Qianwu Cosmic Kingdom, they are naturally primarily focused on the preliminary rounds of their own cosmic kingdom.

The Sixth World District.

During the teleportation, Luo Yuan felt a blur before his eyes, but after about three seconds, his vision cleared.

This is the rooftop of a skyscraper, surrounded by towering buildings whose glass windows reflect the sunlight. This should be a bustling city, but the entire city is eerily silent, devoid of any human presence.

"This is the Sixth World Zone? The gravity is amazing." Standing on the rooftop, Luo Yuan felt a little uncomfortable with the strong gravity. He then looked down at the screen on his wrist, which automatically received a lot of information from the organizer, 'Virtual Universe Company'.

The screen was covered with dense text.

Participant: Luo Yuan (Black Dragon Mountain Empire)

Points: 0

Ranking: None

World Zone: Sixth World Zone

Time: The preliminary elimination will last for 30 days. When the time is up, the entire preliminary round will end, and the winner will be determined by the final score ranking.

Note: The Sixth World District is a continent simulated based on the 'Cyber ​​Planet' of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom in reality. The entire continent contains 167 cities, as well as wilderness and mountains, with a land area of ​​over 16 million square kilometers. The hardness of houses, ground, and many other objects in the Sixth World District is B9.

Scoring rules: Killing a player earns one point, and you also get half of the opponent's points! Therefore, killing skilled players can earn you more points.

Leaderboard Rules: Even if someone dies, they will still be ranked. If their score is high enough, even if they die and their preliminary selection is terminated, losing half their points, they may still be ranked in the top 1001. So please hurry!

Please note that each person only has one life. Upon death, the preliminary selection will stop and half of the points will be lost.

A detailed ranking list is attached below.

……

Standing on the rooftop, Luo Yuan finished reading the data transmitted by the Virtual Universe Company and couldn't help but be surprised: "The land area is more than 16 million square kilometers? The territory of China is 9.6 million square kilometers. More than 82 billion experts are gathered in such a small place. The population density is too high."

Feel the force of gravity.

The gravity of this world is even more exaggerated than that of the original interdimensional world, at least ten thousand times stronger than Earth's gravity.

“This rooftop.” Luo Yuan lifted his foot and stomped down hard. Spiderweb-like cracks began to appear on the rooftop floor, which surprised Luo Yuan. “What amazing hardness and toughness. Ordinary buildings would have been reduced to dust under his foot. The data is right. The hardness of the materials used for buildings, floors and other items is B9 level.”

"Everyone here is new, and they're probably still figuring things out and preparing," Luo Yuan thought to himself.

"boom!"

A loud bang suddenly came from afar. Luo Yuan looked in surprise and saw that the glass on a certain floor of a skyscraper in the distance suddenly shattered. Two figures crashed through the glass and were directly suspended in mid-air fighting.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ...

With a single move, almost instantly, various booming sounds filled the entire city.

Every single person possesses a stellar-level ninth-tier body. On an ordinary planet, a stellar-level ninth-tier eruption could easily destroy a city. This is why the Virtual Universe Company specifically set the materials used for houses and other items in this world to be B9 grade, ensuring that this world could withstand at least 82 billion stellar-level ninth-tier battles for a month.

"Have you made your move yet? Interesting." Luo Yuan smiled.

Luo Yuan quickly spread his mental energy, and instantly everything within a radius of ten thousand miles was clearly visible. At the same time, various attribute collection prompts sounded.

"Stellar-level mental power +1"

"Stellar-level Genetic Energy +1"

"Metal Attribute Domain Skill +1"

"Lightning attribute domain skill +1"

"Spatial Attribute Domain Skill +1"

………………

Feeling his strength increase, Luo Yuan was in a great mood. He took out a rocking chair on the rooftop and watched the battle of these geniuses with his mental power while cracking sunflower seeds and picking up attributes. However, his actions were clearly a provocation to the other geniuses. Some hot-tempered geniuses flew rapidly towards the rooftop where Luo Yuan was, following the mental power he was emitting.

Chapter 108 Slaughtering Geniuses

Luo Yuan lay on the rooftop, leisurely cracking sunflower seeds. His spiritual power allowed him to see the battles between geniuses within a radius of tens of thousands of miles.

"The fighting was really fierce, huh? Quite a few guys have come looking for trouble with me."

Luo Yuan's mental energy detected that many geniuses were flying towards him.

bang~

Suddenly, a burly man appeared on the rooftop. His entire body was made of Force armor, helmet, and boots, and he held an axe in each hand. When he saw Luo Yuan, he grinned and said, "Kid, you dare to release your spiritual energy directly to the surroundings? You're really asking for death. Let me send you on your way!"

boom!

The burly man charged forward, the stomping of his boots cracking the surface of the rooftop. Then, the axe in his left hand drew an arc, tearing through the air, and cleaved directly towards Luo Yuan.

"Hmph!" Luo Yuan's eyes turned cold.

The Divine Weapon appeared out of thin air, instantly shooting out a string of sword lights that combined to form a golden fish.

call!

The golden fish swung on the axe, slicing across the burly man's head. The man's eyes were filled with disbelief and astonishment, and his mouth was slightly open, as if he wanted to say something.

puff!

His skull exploded, and the burly man fell to the ground, his axe crashing onto the rooftop, shaking the bricks and stones.

Luo Yuan frowned as he looked at the burly man's corpse. He then used his mental power to throw the body off the rooftop.

“Points…” Luo Yuan looked down at the screen on his wrist; the text on the screen had changed.

Participant: Luo Yuan (Black Dragon Mountain Empire)

Points: 20

Rank: 6 9603 4821

"The entire preliminary round will last for a month. At the beginning, because there are too many people, the fighting will be extremely fierce and brutal. Conversely, there will be far fewer people in the later stages, and everyone who survives to the end will probably have a very high score. Killing one person then will be more effective than killing a hundred now." Luo Yuan frowned. "Moreover, even the most powerful experts are afraid of being surrounded. Being surrounded by tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of experts of the same level, no matter how powerful you are, you will die."

But Luo Yuan wasn't afraid. He could replenish his spiritual power and primal energy by picking up attributes. Only the people who killed the Earth were afraid and terrified, so naturally no one would bother him.

Luo Yuan has now mastered the third level of the Divine Weapon – the Heavenly Sword Style. This level allows him to control nine golden swords to form a sword domain to kill enemies. Each golden sword is composed of 81 smaller swords, so the third level of the Divine Weapon uses a total of 729 smaller golden swords.

With a thought, Luo Yuan unleashed 729 small golden swords from his Divine Weapon, which rapidly circled around him, forming a sword domain within a 300-meter radius. Then, a few strands of the laws of gold and space merged into the sword formation, instantly unleashing a terrifying power. This left the other participants who came to kill him stunned and unsure whether they should continue their attack.

However, some skilled and daring participants stubbornly attacked Luo Yuan, only to have their heads severed by his sword domain and their bodies thrown off the rooftop. He killed over a hundred opponents, more than half of whom were mentalists. This caused some of the more timid participants to retreat and chase after the others.

Luo Yuan looked at the rooftop where he was and saw that it had quieted down again. He smiled slightly and continued to leisurely eat sunflower seeds, watching the battle between these geniuses and collecting attributes as he went.

To better control the Divine Weapon, Luo Yuan also focused his mental energy on condensing the 'Void Tower' in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The Void Tower is a secret technique, but it was not created by the master of Meteorite Star. When the master of Meteorite Star died, he had not cultivated this technique to the highest level of the seventh level. Luo Yuan has now condensed the Void Tower to the fourth level, and his mental defense and control have been greatly enhanced.

……

The preliminary rounds were held simultaneously in 100 world zones. Because there was no broadcast, countless people throughout the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, from the highest levels of government to ordinary citizens, spent money to travel by spaceship to watch the battle from above these 100 world zones.

Above the Sixth World Zone, above the membrane.

Inside a luxurious suite on a black spaceship.

A tall, thin man with two antennae on his forehead, dressed in black casual clothes, swept his eyes around, as if the entire world was contained within them. Behind him stood the burly Domain Lord Ming Yu.

The man looked down at the world battlefield below in a 100% panoramic simulation of the spaceship. The scene zoomed in, showing the rooftop where Luo Yuan was.

"Mingyu, this is the little guy Luo Yuan you've been following. He's already mastered the third level of the Divine Weapon at the ninth level of the Stellar Rank, and he's even fused a few strands of gold and spatial laws. He's truly a prodigy among geniuses!" Shock and fervor flashed in the cold, stern man's eyes.

“Lord of the Realm, Luo Yuan knows more than just these. He has mastered several domains of different attributes, and all of them are at the ninth level. He is probably not far from the World Realm! Moreover, he does not have a teacher yet.” Ming Yu replied respectfully.

"What? A nine-fold domain with several attributes, about to break through to the World Realm?" The cold-faced man's eyes widened in disbelief.

The burly Mingyu nodded solemnly.

"Hahaha, not bad, Mingyu, you did a great job. You deserve credit for bringing such a monstrous genius into our Three Axes Mountain faction. Although he only agreed to become an external member, you can go back to headquarters and collect a Life Fruit as a reward." The cold and stern man laughed heartily.

"Thank you very much, General!" Mingyu quickly expressed his gratitude.

"Alas, what a pity, I am not qualified to have such a monstrous genius as my disciple!" the cold and stern man said with a hint of dejection.

Ming Yu, standing to the side, was shocked. The fact that a peak Realm Lord felt Luo Yuan was unqualified to teach him made him value Luo Yuan to the highest level.

…………

Day 12 of the preliminary rounds, World Zone 6.

A fierce wind howled, and the air was thick with the stench of blood.

On the cracked street, a bald young man carrying a sword and shield stood on the head of a green-haired young man and laughed loudly.

"Cough cough cough, Tepare, it's nothing that you defeated me. You call yourself a peerless genius, so if you have the guts, go and kill that freak in the North District. It's said that guy killed tens of millions of experts in our North District in just ten days, and the corpses are piled up like mountains! Moreover, those who were killed were all peerless geniuses who challenged him, and they didn't even touch the hem of his clothes. Hehe, do you dare?" The green-haired youth provoked and mocked the bald youth.

"Heh, is that so? I'll personally chop off his head. I, Tepare, will not allow anyone more arrogant than me to exist!" The bald youth said, his sinister eyes coldly looking at the green-haired youth at his feet like a venomous snake. With a stomp of his foot, the green-haired youth's head was immediately crushed into pieces, red and white blood flowing all over the ground.

This scene was repeated in many places in the Sixth World District. With the spread of the word by those cowardly geniuses who ran away, the geniuses in this world district all knew that there was an unparalleled ruthless person in the North District. Those strong and proud geniuses all rushed to the North District because killing Luo Yuan would allow them to gain more points and increase their reputation.

Chapter 109 One Man Against a Hundred Million

The Sixth World District, the northern part of a certain megacity.

On the rooftop of a thousand-meter-tall skyscraper, Luo Yuan lay in a rocking chair, cracking sunflower seeds as he helplessly watched the geniuses rushing up to kill him. These geniuses were fearless, slaughtered into dust by the sword domain formed by the Divine Weapon Golden Sword, yet they continued to pour in, their corpses piling up like mountains around the skyscraper.

This makes it seem like he's the ultimate boss in a game, and these geniuses are just there to fight him. Don't these geniuses know that the earlier they die, the lower their ranking will be, and they'll just become cannon fodder for others?

What Luo Yuan didn't know was that geniuses were also divided into levels, and not all the geniuses who participated wanted to get those pitiful 1001 spots. They were still self-aware. Many of them were arranged by various forces as expendable resources to cultivate geniuses for their own advancement, because the core member spots of the Virtual Universe Company were too valuable.

These geniuses progressed from individual battles to team battles, and then to army group battles, gradually dividing into several camps. The battlefield, comprised of over 80 billion people, was incredibly fierce.

Thousands of miles away from the skyscraper where Luo Yuan was located in the North District, in the central command posts of several factions shrouded in a mental energy barrier, several peerless geniuses were serving as commanders, watching in shock the battle reports coming from the front.

"Is that guy on the rooftop of this skyscraper a monster? We initially just wanted to take advantage of the situation, how did it turn into several factions attacking one of them?!" a commander from one faction asked, full of doubt.

"Sigh, I don't know, but this is a good thing. After all, only 1001 people are selected from more than 80 billion people in each world. This is destined to be a brutal massacre. Since this person is so strong, let him wear down these people. When he's worn down enough, it will be time for us to reap the rewards." This is the plan of the commanders of several factions.
