Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 59

Eliminate first, then decide.

However, in terms of cruelty, the elimination trial is clearly more chilling.

"come on."

"Keep trying." In the lobby of Building 0825, many geniuses from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom wished each other well. It was too cruel. More than a million people were eliminated in the first wave. Of the 1000 geniuses present, probably no more than a handful were still here.

"Hong, keep it up!"

"Yes."

Hong replied with a serious expression, clearly under considerable pressure.

suddenly--

boom!

An invisible, strange force descended upon the entire dimensional space, instantly teleporting all 1008000 young geniuses within it. The immortal beings and restaurant staff within the space remained completely unaffected.

This is a nearly rectangular meteorite, almost 100 kilometers long, suspended in the cosmic sky.

brush!

Lu Yunhe appeared on the meteorite and looked around. In the distance were tiny stars, and not too far away were ordinary, lifeless planets.

Seven trial towers were built on a meteorite drifting in space!

Each trial tower was as tall as a mountain, over ten kilometers high and several kilometers in circumference. The seven trial towers were situated in different locations on this giant meteorite.

Lu Yunhe looked down at his wrist, where there was a screen, just like the one in the preliminary rounds of the Qianwu Universe.

Participant: Lu Yunhe (Qianwu Universe Kingdom)

Points: 0

Rank: None

The trial space where it is located is No. 0825 0001.

There are a total of seven trial towers in the trial space, and each trial tower has seven floors.

For the first trial tower, you can get up to 10,000 points per floor. If you succeed on all seven levels, you can get up to 70,000 points.

For the second trial tower, you can get up to 100,000 points per floor. If you succeed on all seven levels, you can get up to 700,000 points.

……

For the fourth trial tower, you can get up to 10 million points per floor. If you succeed on all seven levels, you can get up to 70 million points.

……

The seventh trial tower can earn up to 10 billion points per floor. If all seven levels are successful, you can get up to 70 billion points.

Note: Upon death, the trial ends.

There are two ways to pass each level: 1. Kill all the targets in this level to get the highest score and be directly teleported to the next level. 2. If you fail to kill all the targets, after 10 days, if you are still alive, you will be directly teleported to the next level to continue the trial.

When all participants die, the trial ends. Determine the final ranking.

Below is a ranking list.

"All death trials are over?" Lu Yunhe looked at the description with some curiosity: "Such a confident description? Has no one ever cleared the Trial Tower before?"

If anyone actually survived the game, they probably wouldn't describe it like this; they would at least add one more point.

"I wonder if Virtual Universe Company will secretly change the difficulty of the Trial Tower halfway through?"

Lu Yunhe thought to himself, after all, even if they talked about it, their own strength was only at the Stellar level. In a real fight, they probably couldn't even handle a Domain Lord level opponent.

"Trial Tower, let's see if you are truly worthy of my challenge!"

boom!

Lu Yunhe transformed into a streak of light and flew to the front of the first trial tower. The entrance pillars of the trial tower, which was over ten kilometers high, were marked with the symbol '1', which was the first trial tower.

Enter the tower.

The text on Lu Yunhe's screen changed: "First level of the first building: 1 ferocious beasts 'Blood-haired Mammoths'."

Each time you kill a ferocious beast, you will get one point. If you kill them all, you will get 10,000 points, and you will be sent directly to the second level.

If you haven't finished killing them, just survive for ten days and be teleported directly to the second level.

Death. Trial over.

There is a time countdown on the edge of the arm screen. Obviously, once the 10 days are up, it will be transferred directly.

"Roar……"

Lu Yunhe's vision shifted, and then tens of thousands of roaring 'blood-haired mammoths' charged towards him in unison.

"Light!"

As the sword was drawn, the fundamental laws of light moved accordingly, and Lu Yunhe instantly transformed into a streak of light, charging directly into the horde of beasts.

In the universe, the speed of light is the fastest.

With his unparalleled understanding of the laws of light, Lu Yunhe was reaping the lives of these blood-haired mammoths at a speed that even surpassed that of a master mentalist.

As the last blood-haired mammoth was slain by the sword light, Lu Yunhe's voice vanished instantly from the first level.

At the same time, the screen on my wrist began to scroll: "First level, second floor, ten thousand 'Nine-Headed Pythons'..."

The number of enemies on the first and second levels is the same, but the ferocious beasts on the first level are simple-minded monsters, while the monsters on the second level belong to one of the six major races in the universe and possess intelligence similar to that of humans.

The third layer consists of 1000 metallic lifeforms called the 'Thor' race warriors'.

The fourth level contains 1000 strange cosmic creatures called "Flying Hou," which are among the most peculiar of the ferocious beasts.

The fifth level contains 100 mechanical golems!

The sixth level contains ten colossal star beasts, 'Azure'!

The seventh level contains one Zerg mother hive!

Judging from the overall distribution of the Trial Tower, it is quite obvious that the Virtual Universe Company is preparing these geniuses who are about to join the core of humanity to adapt to the racial environment of the universe in advance.

The Demon Race, the Mechanical Race, and the Insect Race are three of the six most powerful races in the universe and are also the main adversaries of the Human Race; the Starry Sky Behemoth is a top race in the universe, and there are also metallic life forms, strange life forms, etc., all of which are highly representative life forms in the universe.

The first trial tower was of limited strength, and Lu Yunhe was even able to kill enemies while observing the characteristics of these cosmic life forms, since he would encounter them again in the future.

"Zerg hive!"

Before long, Lu Yunhe reached the first seventh floor and saw the famous Zerg mother nest.

However, it is obvious that the Zerg hive in the Trial Tower was programmed in advance by the Virtual Universe Company, and its performance was extremely weak. The first one could only deal with a ninth-tier stellar-level enemy.

The only thing worth praising is that the Zerg Queen is indeed quite good-looking.

After instantly defeating the Zerg Queen, Lu Yunhe was teleported to the second trial tower. Apart from the strength required, the opponents in the entire trial tower were exactly the same as those in the first one.

"I feel like we could add an eighth layer and try placing a special extraterrestrial life form inside."

Lu Yunhe, who easily passed the first trial tower, thought with some regret, after all, he had a clone of a special life form from the universe.

Afterwards, Lu Yunhe began his long journey of climbing the tower, with dazzling sword light reaping lives one after another.

……

Chapter 98 The Last Five

Millions of players are working hard to climb the tower, and Immortal, as their leader, can't just sit idly by.

In the virtual universe, 1008 immortal beings sat casually in the central square.

The elimination rounds in the Trial Space are not broadcast publicly throughout the universe; only the changes in the rankings are made public. Only the final arena battle is broadcast publicly!

However... as immortal beings from various cosmic nations, they have the authority to observe the trials of each participant.

"Sure enough, Lu Yunhe from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom is currently ranked first in the Trial Tower points, while Bolan is ranked second. Their points are extremely close, and they have surged ahead of all the contestants from the very beginning, creating a huge gap with the third place."

The 1008 powerful immortals can easily see the leaderboards and watch the trial progress.

They now represent their respective cosmic nations, and naturally, each hopes their nation's geniuses will shine even brighter, as this is a matter of pride. For these beings with eternal existence, face and dignity are of utmost importance.

"Huh!" Suddenly, an immortal voice exclaimed in surprise: "Thirteen, the third-ranked contestant is also from your Qianwu Universe Kingdom, named Luo Feng."

"Not only that, that kid named Rong Jun has also ranked 13th in points."

"Thirteen, your Qianwu Universe Kingdom is about to become famous!"

"Of course!"

Thirteen sat proudly in his chair and said that although he had long suspected this outcome, it was still quite exciting when it actually happened.

After all, as immortal gods with almost eternal lifespans, there aren't many things that can amuse them, and comparing rankings among the various cosmic nations is one of them.

Thirteen looked at Lu Yunhe, who seemed to have transformed into a real ray of light and was reaping the enemy, and felt extremely satisfied.

Luo Feng did not disappoint him either. As a master of mental energy, he had a great advantage in this kind of trial that required killing a large number of enemies.

"Oh, right, and that Hong too!"

As Thirteen watched Lu Yunhe, Luo Feng, and Rong Jun battling on the screen, he suddenly remembered another genius from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

Then, at 13 o'clock, he opened the list of his own Qianwu Universe Kingdom, checked Hong's ranking, and found that his ranking was around one millionth. He then turned on the corresponding live video.

"Good, good, you know how to make good use of the rules."

Thirteen looked at Hong, who was cultivating in the Trial Tower and waited until the ten days were over before being teleported away, and nodded slightly.

For a player of Hong's caliber, making the most of the rules to enhance his skills and accumulate as many points as possible is commendable.

"Hong, try to get as many points as possible!"

Thirteen offered a small encouragement in his heart, and then continued to keep an eye on Lu Yunhe and the others' points.

With a peerless genius emerging from their own ranks, the teacher in charge became much more tolerant of the others.

……

As time passed, many contestants were eliminated, leaving behind either those who had been training within the allotted time or those who were truly powerful.

The first and second trial towers are extremely easy, clearly intended by the Virtual Universe Company to give challengers time to adapt. After all, within the cosmic realm, aside from ferocious beasts, other races like demons and insectoids are rarely encountered.
