Age of Calamity in Swallowed Star

Chapter 265: Emperor Feather Venerable, Trial Space!

As evening approached, the afterglow of the setting sun spilled down, dyeing the entire plane space a bloody red.

"What a beautiful sunset!"

In a corner of the plaza, Lin Ye and Luo Feng sat facing each other, drinking the Big Red Robe tea, a specialty from Earth.

The rolling boiling water released the tea's fragrance, making it fragrant and clear. Just a sip was endlessly evocative.

Even after decades of traveling the universe, seeing countless rare treasures and various precious fruits, Lin Ye still loved the taste of home the most.

"I didn't expect to see such a beautiful sunset in this virtual universe. This trip was really worth it!"

Luo Feng took a sip of tea, his face filled with ease and contentment.

It was a rare moment of relaxation, and he naturally wanted to enjoy it.

Suddenly.

Lin Ye and Luo Feng, who were drinking tea, were slightly stunned. A deep, resounding voice, like a great bell, rang in their minds at the same time—"All geniuses from the 1008 universe countries, proceed to the central plaza immediately to assemble."

Immediately afterward, an imperceptible mental force invaded the minds of these geniuses, and all but Lin Ye instantly succumbed.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"

At this moment, not only Luo Feng, but all the sitting geniuses stood up.

They ran or flew, or rode their psychic weapons, constantly converging towards the center of the plaza from restaurants, lounges, and buildings.

"What's going on!? Could this be the Venerable's mind invasion!?"

Lin Ye was puzzled, but at this moment, the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda in his mind emitted a hazy light, quietly erasing the Venerable's invading power, silently.

Then, he followed Luo Feng to the central plaza to assemble, without revealing the slightest flaw.

The contestants from 1008 universe countries, a full one million elite geniuses, rushed over like ants moving house.

In the blink of an eye, 1,008,000 geniuses gathered here, forming a super-giant square formation, neatly standing in the center of the plaza.

Then… everyone woke up as if from a dream.

"What happened!?" Luo Feng's eyes regained clarity, and he exclaimed in surprise.

"I was just eating, how did I suddenly get out here?"

"You were just eating, I was taking a shower, luckily my little brother was strong," an unknown genius wearing big shorts grumbled.

As one genius after another came back to their senses, the entire formation was in shock.

Whether it was the Qian Shui siblings, or Death God Bolan, or Prince of Man Kaxing… all had shocked expressions.

At the same time, in front of the giant formation stood 1008 immortal beings, naturally exuding their might. The combined terrifying pressure instantly silenced millions of geniuses, and no one dared to make a sound.

"Distinguished geniuses from various universe countries, welcome to the Peak Genius Battle held by our Virtual Universe Company!" A gentle voice, like a spring breeze, entered everyone's ears.

All the geniuses looked towards the source of the voice. Two vague figures appeared in front of the formation, which was originally empty.

They seemed to be fused with space.

One of them stepped on colorful rays of light, like a war god returning from an ancient heavenly court.

His gaze was gentle, and the vertical crystal between his eyebrows, like a third eye, flashed with colorful light from time to time. The naturally emitted aura made thousands of immortals and millions of geniuses tremble with fear.

The other was a young man wearing a cyan battle robe, with purple scales covering his forehead.

These two people just stood here quietly, but gave people a feeling of being in different dimensions, a sense of time and space confusion.

"Emperor Feather Venerable and Nine Swords Venerable."

Lin Ye's gaze swept over these two peak human powerhouses, and thoughts surged in his heart.

These two… were both friends of his master, Burning Dust Venerable, and close friends who would go through life and death together.

Seemingly aware of Lin Ye's gaze, Nine Swords and Emperor Feather Venerable looked over at the same time, and smiled slightly at Lin Ye.

The three gazes met, and everything was understood without words.

"It seems that these two great beings also know my identity," Lin Ye thought in shock.

In addition to the 'Qian Wu Token' sent by the Qian Wu Country Lord and some places in the Qian Wu Secret Realm, Lin Ye was now being watched by four high-level universe Venerables.

Pressure arrived in an instant, completely weighing down on him.

However, this pressure was fleeting, and soon turned into internal motivation in his heart.

"Geniuses selected from 1008 universe countries, our Virtual Universe Company wants to select the strongest one thousand of you to be absorbed as core members of our company, so…"

Emperor Feather Venerable's voice suddenly rose, and he said directly: "You millions of people will compete for these one thousand places together, the rules are as follows:"

"…"

"…"

"There is no time limit. You can keep闯荡 in the seven-story trial tower of this trial space until you die and are kicked out of the trial space."

"The first to one hundredth in积分 will be directly absorbed as core members…"

"积分 101-7300, go to the arena决战 to compete for the remaining 900 places. As for those after 7300, all will be淘汰…"

"…"

Emperor Feather Venerable's voice was威压, without the slightest emotion.

But such cruel rules directly shocked all the geniuses present.

The trial space in the first round directly淘汰 more than one million geniuses!?

"I won't say much else. Prepare well… The trial space will be opened early tomorrow morning. I look forward to that thousand of you being able to join my Virtual Universe Company and become capable干将 under my command in the future."

The loud and steady voice echoed in the entire plaza, deafening, making the millions of genius powerhouses忍不住热血沸腾.

Nine Swords Venerable and Emperor Feather deeply glanced at Lin Ye before directly disappearing from here.

"Let's go, let's go back to rest." x1008

Coincidentally, all the immortals present spoke at the same time.

Lin Ye and others also walked towards Building No. 0825 in groups.

……

Early the next morning.

The geniuses in the 1008 buildings got up early, waiting for this cruel淘汰赛.

"Please prepare all geniuses. The传送 will be carried out soon, and you will be传送 to your respective trial space."

A crisp and pleasant voice echoed throughout the plane space.

First carry out淘汰赛, and then carry out the arena决战.

This degree of cruelty is even more心颤 than the initial巅峰天才战's选拔赛.

"Everyone,加油!"

"冲吧!"

"杀神, good luck!"

"疯子, 加油!"

"＊＊, 加油!"

"……"

The major geniuses加着油 each other!

"Buzz!"

The next moment, a powerful energy instantly descended on the entire plane space, instantly传送 all the millions of young geniuses within it.

As for those 带队 immortals and service personnel in the plane space, they were not affected at all.

……

This was a huge square meteorite, hundreds of kilometers long and wide. Lin Ye appeared here with a '唰' sound.

All around were dense碎星带, and the stars of light showed that they were small恒星 at a glance.

"What a realistic trial space, it is worthy of being a virtual universe."

Lin Ye secretly sighed in his heart, and at the same time, he thought of the human race's supreme powerhouse, the original ancestor, who used the 'Virtual Universe'秘法, and a trace of loss flashed in his eyes.

If the original ancestor had not been镇压 because he wanted to夺舍 the primitive universe, the head of the six major巅峰族群 would definitely be the human race.

But all of this was just if……

"This place is really like the trial tower created by my master."

Looking around, Lin Ye clearly saw seven giant trial towers built on this floating meteorite.

The seven trial towers occupied several positions on this huge meteorite at different angles, looking like a spoon from a distance.

"I wonder if the trial towers here are the same as the trial towers in the virtual space."

Lin Ye muttered in a low voice, and a raging战意 burned on his body, piercing straight into the sky.

Without any warning, a black bracelet suddenly appeared on his right wrist, and the screen showed his积分 and some serial number information.

[Contestant: Lin Ye]

-

[积分: 0]

[Ranking: None]

[Location Trial Space: 0666666]

Seeing this number, Lin Ye frowned slightly: "So I am a 老六!?"

Then, he moved his gaze downward and continued to browse the screen.

After the personal information was displayed, there were some积分 rules about the trial tower.

Although Lin Ye had seen it in the original work, it was another feeling when all of this really appeared in front of him.

[Seven seven-story trial towers, the first one can get 10,000积分 per floor, totaling 70,000; the second one can get 100,000 per floor, totaling 700,000积分… The seventh trial tower can get 10 billion积分 per floor, totaling 70 billion]

[Note ①: Once you die, the trial ends]

[Note ②: No one has ever cleared the seven seven-story trial towers. There will be a mysterious reward once cleared.]

"Mysterious rewards or something, forget it."

Although Lin Ye was extremely confident in his strength, the difficulty of clearing the seven floors was a bit high.

In the original work, even Death God Bolan died on the first floor of the seventh trial tower.

[Additional rule: Killing all the targets on one floor can get the highest积分, and then be传人 to the next floor. Similarly, if you fail to kill all the targets, you will also be传人 to the next floor after ten days, and积分 will be judged according to your record.]

"Very humane rules, but also very cruel."

After understanding all the rules, Lin Ye was full of expectations for the seven towers in this trial space.

……

Another plane space.

Luo Feng had just finished reading all the rules and exhaled deeply: "Really crazy trial tower rules."

"But… I like it."

At this moment, Luo Feng's '疯子' nature was revealed.

Even if he had not夺舍 the Golden Horned Beast, and had not been侵染 by the killing intent from the depths of his blood.

Under Lin Ye's teaching, Luo Feng had become a person who was '静如沉渊，动若山崩'.

"The trial will not be finally ranked until all contestants die."

"This takes a bit long, but I can also stay in each trial tower for a longer time to cultivate and improve, and prepare for the final."

Raising his head, Luo Feng's gaze shifted from the screen to the seven giant towers not far away: "This time, I must rush into the top ranks, otherwise I will be sorry for myself!"

"Even more sorry for my master, and those relatives and friends who are full of expectations for me."

His lips moved slightly, and a familiar face appeared in Luo Feng's mind: "I will do my best!"

"But the time it takes to闯 these seven towers is too long, I will fight and cultivate at the same time."

"Then, if you don't鳴, you must一鳴驚人!!"

Thinking of this, Luo Feng smiled.

His smile was so confident and refreshing, and the whole person was like沐浴 in the sun, full of positive energy.

收敛起笑意, Luo Feng '轰' directly turned into a streamer and flew to the first trial tower.

Looking at the giant trial tower, which was about 10,000 meters high, Luo Feng传戴 well his念力兵器 and战衣, and strode into it.

As soon as he entered the tower, a series of words appeared on the screen on his wrist—"First floor of the first tower: 10,000 fierce beasts 'Blood-colored Mammoth'"

"Killing each Mammoth will earn one积分. After killing all of them or after ten days, you will be传人 to the next floor."

Then, a ten-day countdown appeared on Luo Feng's screen.

"In that case, let's fight!"

Luo Feng's face was filled with a confident smile, and then he started the大战.

……

On the central square of the virtual universe, one thousand and eight immortals sat casually in various places, watching the live broadcast of this淘汰赛.

Unlike the淘汰赛 in the previous one hundred world regions of each universe country.

Now, the million geniuses participating in this trial space are all实打实 and ultimately won the places through countless battles.

Therefore, the degree of excitement is far beyond the previous world region淘汰赛

"As expected of 杀神, what a terrible speed. As soon as he came, he directly locked the first place. Looking at his posture, isn't he using the domain '咔咔咔'乱杀 from the beginning!"

"Bolan is not bad either, following closely behind, trying to bite Lin Ye."

"The two of them are chasing each other, both are so激烈的… but it seems that Lin Ye has a greater advantage."

"Medusa, the contestants from your Qian Wu universe country are very powerful this time. Not only 杀神 Lin Ye, but even the积分 and ranking of the savage Rong Jun are constantly暴涨, and they are about to break into the top ten."

"That's for sure!" Queen Medusa nodded her head lightly, somewhat傲然道: "Don't even look at whose 国主's men are."

Many immortals: "……"

"Click on Lin Ye's trial live broadcast." As Queen Medusa's thought fell, the light curtain in front of her suddenly changed.

A young man wearing a blood-colored战衣 was walking leisurely on the fifth floor of the first tower.

Almost without using a battle knife, all the fierce beasts 'Giant-eyed Demon Centipede' that approached him died tragically.

Most of them were cut off their bodies and turned into残肢断骸 all over the ground.

Even if 10,000 fierce beasts, enough to make the universe-level powerhouses sweat, rushed forward one after another, the only thing waiting for them was death.

Looking at this杀伐凌厉 Lin Ye, who relied on the刀意 domain to directly kill to the fifth floor of the first trial tower, the corner of Queen Medusa's mouth quietly勾起 a curve——

"It is very worthy of being that man's disciple!!"

This touch of charm was noticed by the surrounding undying beings. Even with their unwavering minds, these eternal existences couldn't help but feel their hearts stirred, deeply attracted to her.

"Lin Ye is still too conservative, his killing speed is too slow."

Watching the young man leisurely walking through the fifth floor, yet still rapidly killing monsters, Medusa's red lips slightly moved, feigning a somewhat resentful appearance, "If he were any faster, I'd be even happier!"

Hearing this, many undying beings turned their heads in unison, all looking at this Medusa Queen.

How can you drive on any broken road???

"...Look at your eyes, you're all thinking dirty thoughts!"

Medusa lightly glared at these undying beings, adding, "I mean... if Lin Ye kills faster, I can report good news to the Lord!"

The Undying Beings: "..."

"Look, everyone, there's a little idiot here!!" An undying being, possibly a Marquis, shouted loudly, drawing the gazes of many undying beings from Medusa to Luo Feng.

"This guy... he's actually treating the trial tower as a place to hone and improve himself, really! Not making any effort at all!!"

An undying being with a fat head and pig-like features scolded him, feeling disappointed.

"This is also a kind of cultivation and improvement, called making good use of the rules. I think this kid will definitely achieve great things in the future."

An undying being stood up, refuting the former's words.

"Yes, how they enter this trial space and what they should do, presumably these geniuses aren't idiots, they will definitely have the best choice."

"So now, let's just watch their performance."

These words were agreed upon by many undying gods.

Gradually, the bustling central square began to quiet down...
