Age of Calamity in Swallowed Star

On July 17, 2066, Great Xia Time, the day of the arena battles had finally arrived.

The preceding preliminaries were not broadcasted, leaving the countless citizens of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom extremely anxious.

However, the upcoming arena battles could be watched live, so tickets sold like crazy as soon as they were released.

...

The arena battles were divided into one thousand groups of one hundred people each, and were to be completed within five days.

In each group melee, only the ten strongest would remain to compete for the nine hundred slots.

The rest would be ruthlessly eliminated.

The schedule for the first day included groups 1 to 200. Of the four individuals from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire who passed the elimination rounds—Lin Ye, Hong, Luo Feng, and Nabini—

only Lin Ye advanced directly. The other three were assigned to different groups for the arena battles.

Nabini was in Group 27, and Hong in Group 187, so they both had their arena battles on the first day.

Luo Feng, in Group 231, would have his arena battle on the second day.

In the virtual universe network, within a specially created plane of space, vast and boundless rivers surged forward, flowing to unknown destinations.

And within these rivers were islands, each representing an arena.

These arenas were the battlefields for the second selection round.

Surrounding the arena islands were densely packed spectator stands, filled with a sea of people.

Among them were Lin Ye, Luo Feng, Hong, and the families of Lei Shen and others.

As geniuses who had emerged from the first elimination round, they had all been given some spectator slots by the Virtual Universe Company, so they didn't have to participate in the frantic ticket rush.

And Lin Ye, as the one with the highest score in all world regions, was given nearly five hundred slots by the organizers.

So this time, he brought many Earth martial artists and friends to watch.

A good portion of the audience were Lin Ye's children.

"Dad, Luo Feng and Uncle Hong are competing today, it's going to be very exciting," said

Lin Batian, the youngest son, straddling Lin Ye's neck, looking around in the dark crowd, his eyes wide as if searching for something.

"What are you looking at, gawking everywhere!?" Lin Ye patted Batian's little bottom and asked.

"Looking at pretty young ladies! Look, there are cat-eared young ladies, fox-tailed young ladies, and all sorts of young ladies that we don't have on Earth... They're so pretty!"

Lin Batian said in a childish voice, still looking around.

Lin Ye: "..."

Hearing this, Lin Ye's forehead was covered in black lines, not knowing what to say.

He could only helplessly look at Xu Qi, who just shrugged her smooth shoulders slightly, also quite helpless.

He really wanted to ask who had raised his son like this, but the words were swallowed back.

No other reason.

As Lin Ye's youngest son, Lin Batian had been able to freely enter the virtual universe network from a very young age, so he had a very wide range of exposure.

Over time, some good and bad things had been instilled into him.

"No, I must pay attention to this influence in the future, and not let my youngest son Batian become a generation of playboys."

Thinking of this, Lin Ye looked at Xu Qi, directly expressing his thoughts with his eyes.

However, he didn't expect that Xu Qi's response to his gaze would be so strong—

"Hmph, you're allowed to wander among the flowers, but you don't allow my baby to harm other girls?"

"Uh... how can these things be compared? Batian is only five years old!" Lin Ye's forehead was covered with black lines, very speechless.

"Alright, alright, I won't let him be exposed to these things in the future, it's not good for children!" In the end, he could only back down in this way.

"Hmph~" Xu Qi glared at Lin Ye, raised her chin, as proud as a little peacock.

"Little Ye!" Xu Yong, the old father-in-law sitting next to Xu Qi, said, "Do you think Luo Feng and Hong can stand out from the arena battle and advance to the next stage this time?"

"It's hard to say!" Hearing his father-in-law's words, Lin Ye shook his head gently and said, "I know Luo Feng's strength very well, and his chances of advancing are very high!"

"But Hong's strength is far inferior to Luo Feng's, so his chances of advancing are slim."

"Well, I see!" Xu Yong nodded, already understanding in his heart.

At this time, the atmosphere around the martial arts arena was extremely lively.

Billions of spectators from many star systems gathered together, what a grand sight this was.

"Hello, everyone!"

A sweet and crisp voice rang out, reaching the tens of billions of spectators in the entire martial arts arena.

Everyone followed the sound and saw a brown-haired girl with a slender and curvaceous figure wearing a revealing, tight-fitting combat suit in the center of the arena.

The projection completely presented every detail of the girl to the audience.

For a time, there were endless wolf howls.

"Next, we will hold the seventh group's arena battle. Let me introduce these young geniuses to all of you respected audience members."

"The first one is from..."

After the first genius was introduced, a deafening roar would sound in a certain area of the martial arts arena, as if giving support to this genius.

"The second one is from..."

...

"The third one is from..."

...

The brown-haired girl's melodious voice echoed in the ears of many spectators.

Unknowingly, she had introduced all one hundred geniuses.

For a long time, the cheers like a landslide and tsunami gradually stopped.

The cheers of as many as ten billion people made this martial arts arena tremble!

Similarly, every time this host introduced someone, a fully armed young genius would appear in the middle of the arena.

Their expressions were serious, and their bodies unconsciously exuded a terrible fighting spirit.

"Not bad!"

Looking at these geniuses who had advanced from various world regions, Lin Ye gave a very pertinent evaluation.

But for him, these geniuses were not a threat at all.

Even if everyone added together, it would only take him a few moves.

This was the huge gap between a super genius who had entered the origin law and an ordinary top genius.

The two were not on the same level at all.

"Go for it, everyone genius martial artist!!" Lin Batian clenched his little fist and shouted in a childish voice.

Everyone around couldn't help but look at the little child, with a smile on their lips.

This kid!!

Before the battle even started, Lin Ye and his group began to discuss some familiar figures in the group.

For example, Yan Wu Star Lord, who ranked seventh in a certain world region, was a super genius who had comprehended a trace of the origin law of earth.

Therefore, his defense almost carried a trace of the mystery of the origin law, and its power was amazing.

Anyone who encountered him was worn down by him.

Before they died, they couldn't break through his defense.

And Yan Wu Star Lord was also the son of a Starfield God Lord, inheriting the blood of an immortal god, so his combat power was even better!

"Remember, this Yan Wu Star Lord is likely to be my strong enemy!" Lin Ye looked at the khaki-colored armored man who was silently standing still like a stone sculpture, and his heart was on alert.

He was not afraid of opponents with fierce attacks, but the most afraid of enemies with defenses like tortoise shells.

In this way, it would cause him an extremely huge consumption.

"But if I meet him, I will fight quickly and make a quick decision, and never give him a chance to display his defense."

He already had a countermeasure in his mind.

Then, Lin Ye's gaze moved to another place.

A dark-skinned man about four meters tall raised his head and chest, and arrogantly scanned his surroundings.

This was one of the most powerful geniuses in this competition—Marie Kun from the Alahe Star Region.

A pair of attacks containing a trace of the origin law of water was like a maggot on a bone, making it impossible to defend against, until entangled to death.

He was also a worthy opponent.

As for the other geniuses, those who were not even ranked in the top twenty naturally did not attract Lin Ye's attention.

"I want to have a fight with Rong Jun, Bolan, Qian Shui siblings... to see who is more powerful!"

During these days of special training with Luo Feng and Hong, Lin Ye found that his combat power had also improved a lot.

With the surge in combat power, his confidence and fighting spirit also rose.

Just as Lin Ye was thinking, the atmosphere of the entire martial arts arena became more and more high under the voice of the beautiful host, just like a boiling beer barrel, which could be completely detonated with just a light poke.

At this time, the sexy girl's extremely excited voice rang throughout the martial arts arena: "Dear audience! The arena battle is about to begin, please count down with me, and look forward to this duel from the peak geniuses, 10! 9! 8!...3! 2! 1!"

"Rumble!!"

A deafening roar exploded, and figures appeared in the center of the martial arts arena, a full one hundred.

They were the young geniuses who had spent a lot of time introducing before.

"Kanas!!"

"Yaso!!!"

"Yan Wu!! Yan Wu!!"

"Marie Kun!! Marie Kun!!"

...

The sound of cheers was higher than the waves, instantly pushing the atmosphere of the entire martial arts arena to its peak.

The howling and fierce cheers swept the four directions, and even the earth trembled slightly.

Lin Ye was not moved by it at all, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he scanned the many warriors in the center of the arena from time to time.

At this moment, these warriors were also on full alert, carefully looking around.

Because at this moment, everyone around them was their enemy, and they affected their advancement.

"The battle, begins!!"

Along with a low voice exploding, including one hundred geniuses, the minds of ten billion spectators were like thunder rolling.

Silence!!

The entire martial arts arena was instantly quiet, and the one hundred genius warriors in the center of the arena also moved!!

Moving like thunder, there was a terrible momentum of landslide and tsunami!

"Puchi!"

"Heixiu!"

"Zila!"

Streams of light flickered, and the genius masters on the arena quickly dodged attacks, and the diffuse field made the entire martial arts arena dyed in colorful colors, just like overturning a dyeing vat, with various colors quickly晕染.

The air waves rolled, and the power became strands or swords, sweeping towards the surroundings, with the terrible power to destroy everything.

In the center of the arena, young geniuses either fled for their lives, or directly took action, or tacitly besieged and killed one person... suddenly revealing the tragic and treacherous nature of the battle.

The entire center of the martial arts arena fell into a melee.

They had to attack to solve their opponents, and also prevent other sneak attacks.

"Such a battle is really interesting." Hong looked at the genius masters who were caught in the melee, and there was a flash of light in his eyes.

"It's a pity that I can't participate, I can only watch you and Xiaofengzi perform!" On the seat nearby, the bald strong man Lei Shen looked helpless, with a deep desire in his eyes.

As a martial idiot who came from the era of disaster, he also longed for such a battle.

It was a pity that the warriors who did not pass the first round of the elimination round were not qualified to participate in this arena melee.

Therefore, Lei Shen and the other eliminated Earth warriors could only dryly watch the fierce battles of these warriors, and their hearts were agitated!

"Puchi!!"

Along with the first genius master being torn apart by a beam of light, casualties began to appear in the center of the entire arena.

6! 13! 34!...

At this time, many star regions on the seat sent out sighs of regret, and it was obvious that the genius from their star region was eliminated.

However, the tense atmosphere was still going on, just like a fire that was constantly adding firewood, burning out more dazzling firelight again and again.

...

Before long, the number of deaths surged.

Soon, only ten geniuses with blood all over their bodies were left.

"The first round of the arena battle is over, all the dead are eliminated, and the remaining survivors will continue to compete for the 900 places!"

The low voice was neither happy nor sad, echoing in everyone's mind.

On the spectator seats, sighs, cheers, manic roars... all kinds of different emotions were all released through this voice.

"Next is me and Uncle Hong!" Luo Feng stood up, his eyes bursting with essence, and the whole person was like a sword out of its sheath, with a sharp edge.

"Perform well, defeat all the opponents blocking your way!" Lin Ye's words were sonorous and powerful, and then he stretched out his right hand clenched into a fist and bumped heavily with Luo Feng.

"Well, I will do it!" Looking at his master, Luo Feng's deep eyes flashed with a trace of essence, and he nodded heavily.

"During this period of special training, my strength has increased by about 20% compared to when I just participated in the elimination round, and my understanding of the origin law of gold has also been deepened a lot under the guidance of my master, and my combat power has doubled."

Saying that, Luo Feng smiled and continued: "This time, I will use my Yan Shen Bing to sweep away all opponents and advance strongly."

He patted the dark golden long stick behind him, and was full of spirit.

"Xiaofengzi, your strength is very high in the world region ranking, and you can still get very good results even in this melee of one hundred warriors."

"But I am not very good, my strength is at the bottom of the hundred, and I estimate that I will not be able to hold on to the end." Hong shook his head gently, and then changed his tone and said: "Even so, I will not give up easily, I want to let my four-fold light field bloom in this martial arts arena!!"

"Go for it! I believe in you!" He looked at this old friend who came from the era of disaster with him, and his eyes flashed with golden light.

“Losing isn’t something to be afraid of. If it happens, we’ll just head to the Qianwu Secret Realm together and improve together!” At that moment, two large hands pressed down on Luo Feng and Hong’s shoulders respectively. It was Huang Shaoying.

“Yeah!” x2.

For no reason, the two nodded simultaneously.

“Prepare yourselves well. Next, it's up to your performance. Don't lose the face of Earth's elites!” Lin Ye said jokingly, but the encouragement in his words was obvious.

“I know!”

“Understood!”

Luo Feng and Hong exchanged glances, both nodding emphatically.
