Devouring the Stars: The Master of Metaphysics

It took less than a year.

The preliminaries for the genius battle arena are over.

Except for the top 6,100 contestants ranked in points, the rest of the contestants were eliminated and ushered in a long break.

The contestants who have entered the reincarnation battle stage will enter the official competition stage of this peak talent battle after a short rest for one day.

…

Ganwu continent, lava island.

People were coming and going on the streets, and every citizen of the Lava Star Territory was smiling.

When they saw billboards or promotional videos of peak talent battles on high-rise buildings, they all showed pride.

"Haha, we have another genius in the Lava Star Territory who has entered the peak talent competition, and this time there are two."

"I heard people say that these two geniuses are both members of the Royce family. They are also the elder brother and younger brother of Li Qi Royce, the second best genius in the battle 5,000 years ago."

"The Royce family is indeed the number one family in my Lava Empire. The geniuses they have cultivated are truly amazing."

"You wouldn't know it. Although the Royce family is the first family in the Lava Empire, they actually only rose to power 5,000 years ago. They only rose because the legendary Lord Li Qi won second place in the Genius Competition."

On the street, two citizens of the Lava Empire were walking, chatting and boasting, with proud smiles on their faces.

This is their Lava Empire. For two consecutive peak talent competitions, a genius has entered the main stage.

Moreover, this year there is another person who has entered the top 1,000 in the universe, and another who is ranked 228th in points, and still has a chance to hit the top 1,000 in the universe.

…

Genius Battle Space, Building 0002.

The eldest brother Eric, Thirteen and Nineteen were sitting in the corner of the hall on the first floor.

"Brother, Nineteen." Thirteen said solemnly: "I have been eliminated, and the next step is up to you."

After looking at Nineteen, Thirteen said: "Nineteen, with your strength, you should be able to enter the top 1,000 of the overall rankings, but don't fall behind again at the critical moment."

"Don't worry, I will enter the top 1,000 in the overall ranking." Nineteen nodded slightly and did not sneer at Thirteen who was eliminated.

"Thirteen, I'm sorry." The eldest brother Eric said apologetically, "I..."

Looking at the apologetic eldest brother, Thirteen shook his head slightly, "It's okay, I'm just too useless."

At this moment, Thirteen felt very guilty. He had taken away the Explosive Behemoth without notifying Brother Eleven. He originally planned to compensate Brother Eleven after the first 1,000 people who entered the universe received a large amount of resources.

Unexpectedly, he didn't even reach the top 6100 in the qualifying standings!

On the contrary, Big Brother and Nineteenth, who are ranked in the top 100 in the rankings, can directly enter the top 1000 in the universe and gain access to the core level of the Giant Ax Fighting Arena.

A player ranked 228th in the standings is eligible to participate in the finals to compete for a seat among the top 1,000 in the universe.

"Don't be too depressed." Nineteen advised softly: "Although you have been eliminated, you can still enter the Qianwu Secret Realm for training, and you will still have the opportunity to become an immortal god in the future."

"I know that I will definitely become an immortal god." Thirteen nodded, with no sign of decadence in his eyes.

"As long as you have the confidence to become an immortal god." Nineteen showed a smile at first, and then the smile faded and said: "When you and I break through to the World Lord level, we will fight again in the virtual universe, and I want your slap. Go back!"

"Okay, World Lord level." Thirteen said solemnly: "I'll wait for you!"

Eric warned: "Thirteen, while you are being trained in the Qianwu Secret Realm, you must be cautious. Don't take random risks relying on your ability to save your life."

"Understood, brother." Thirteen nodded and said firmly: "I will try to control myself."

Being eliminated in the preliminaries of the Genius Battle Finals gave Thirteen more insights. He knew that he was eliminated because his physical skills were too weak.

If he spends some time honing his skills, he might have a chance to break into the top 6,100 in the standings and compete for a chance to enter the core level of the Giant Ax Fighting Arena.

Thirteen understood that the reason why his physical skills were weak was because he was affected by the nature of the blazing giant beast. He often needed to vent his negative emotions such as brutal killing and put too much energy into attacking secret techniques.

He planned to spend more time sharpening his will once he entered the secret realm of dry witches, so as to minimize the impact of the violent and murderous nature of the blazing beast on him.

"It's time to go." Thirteen glanced at the gradually darkening sky outside the window, then turned around and said, "Nineteen, I'm looking forward to the news that you have entered the core level of the Giant Ax Arena."

"You will hear the news." Nineteen nodded, "I will let Brother Eleven who is watching the battle see me entering the core level of the giant axe fighting arena."

"Brother, try to get a better ranking." Thirteen turned to Eric and said, "I believe you can do it with your strength."

"Yes." Eric nodded.

"Goodbye, I hope that the next time we meet in reality, we will both become immortal gods."

After Thirteen's words fell, he turned into a white light and disappeared, leaving the genius battle space.

Looking at where Thirteen was sitting just now, Nineteen was silent for a while, then turned around and asked: "Brother, when did you realize the law? With your strength, it doesn't seem like you realized the law later than us."

"When...that was a long time ago."

When Eric heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly. The sea of ​​fire seemed to appear in front of his eyes, and a beast's roar seemed to ring in his ears.

"A long time ago?"

Nineteen looked puzzled, and seeing that his elder brother was thinking about the past, he stopped asking.

Sitting in the corner of the lobby on the first floor, the two looked at the gradually darkening sky outside the window and the faint white light flickering, and fell into silence.

They all knew that it would be a long time before they could see General Thirteen in reality after entering the core layer of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena.

…

The next morning.

Under the leadership of 1004 immortal gods, the top 6100 geniuses in the pre-selection points gathered in the central square.

Boom!

An invisible pressure that overwhelmed the space enveloped the 6100 geniuses and 1004 immortal gods.

Then, Venerable Jinmu, who was more than six meters tall and wearing dazzling golden armor, appeared in the sky in an instant.

1004 immortal gods saluted respectfully, "Your Excellency."

"The preliminary selection for the fighting arena is over." There was no expression on the furry face of the Honorable Jinmu, and his voice was extremely indifferent, "The geniuses ranked 1-100 on the points list, you will directly become the core layer of my giant axe fighting arena, and you will receive preferential treatment in the main competition."

"If there are any of you who don't want to enter my giant axe fighting arena, you can say it now, and my giant axe fighting arena will never force you."

The voice of the Honorable Jinmu was not loud, but it was heard very clearly by everyone present.

The scene was silent, and no one spoke.

Everyone fought hard to participate in the top genius battle in order to enter the core layer of the giant axe fighting arena. How could they say they don't want to now!

Venerable Jin Mu said indifferently: "Since none of you are unwilling, then I will announce the rules of the main competition."

...

"The 6,000 geniuses ranked 101 to 6,100 in the standings will be divided into 200 groups for the reincarnation battle, with 30 people in each group. The top 4 geniuses will get the quota for the core layer of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena, a total of 800 people." Li Qi sat on the sofa in the study, looking at the rules introduction on the light screen in front of him, "Then, the virtual universe system will select the best 200 people from the losers of the reincarnation battle for a one-on-one duel, and the winning 100 people will get The core layer of the Giant Axe Arena. "

"Add the top 100 geniuses in the preliminary points, and that's 1,000 people who get the core layer of the Giant Axe Arena."

Seeing this, Li Qi shook his head slightly, "Compared with the genius battle held by the Virtual Universe Company in the last session, the competition system of this genius battle is more complicated."

"Although the competition system is complicated, it is relatively fair and can convince everyone, and there will be no questioning and making trouble."

He understood that this genius battle gave every genius a chance, and everyone had the opportunity to decide their own destiny, but if they couldn't win, they would not be able to grasp their destiny.

"The first stage of this competition is to select 1,000 people to enter the core layer of the Giant Axe Arena. I hope Nineteen can seize the opportunity."

In the preliminary stage of the genius battle, you only need the immortal authority to watch the live broadcast, and in the main competition stage, you need the immortal authority of the king to watch the live broadcast.

Although Li Qi is not an immortal god, he has the authority comparable to the immortal authority of the king peak limit, so he is qualified to watch the live broadcast of the genius battle in the main competition stage.

Then, under his gaze, the screen changed, and 200 groups of 30 people were assigned.

"Nineteen was assigned to Group 081."

By searching for Nineteen's name, Li Qi quickly locked onto his group.

Soon, 3,000 duels began at the same time.

...

In the light screen.

Nineteen held two swords, and his figure flew quickly like a ghost, showing a Z-shaped flight trajectory in the air, leaving a phantom every few distances.

His opponent was also a warrior, and what he had comprehended was the law of the origin of water. His body was shrouded in a blue field like water waves, and he was watching the Nineteen who was attacking quickly.

Swish!

Nineteen killed in front of the opponent, but left a phantom body in place, and suddenly flashed to the side of the opponent.

Clang!

The opponent reacted very quickly and swung his shield to block. Although he blocked the sword in time with his reaction.

But the power of this sword was too strong, and it directly cut through the blue field like water waves, causing the opponent's body to lean back, and he had no time to resist the attack of another sword.

Puff!

The sword in Nineteen's left hand pierced through the opponent's head and killed him directly.

...

Looking at the victorious Nineteen in the light curtain, Li Qi nodded slightly, "It's a beautiful win. The opponent's strength is too weak to withstand Nineteen's attack."

Although they both realized a little, the gap between the upper and lower laws is huge, not to mention that Nineteen's understanding of the law of time is not just a little.

Li Qi said softly: "Unless the lower law is deeply understood, otherwise, facing the upper law that is roughly divided into the same or even slightly weaker, the power will be obviously different."

The rough law division is different from the detailed Tongtianqiao law division.

Because the upper law has a high upper limit, under the same rough division, the upper law is much stronger than the lower law.

It's like the difference between one tenth of 10,000 and one tenth of 100.

"Nineteen won the first round of the group round, but this is just the beginning. There are still 28 matches to be played."

Speaking of this, Li Qi projected the other fourteen matches of Nineteen in the same group.

So far, he has been multitasking and watching fifteen matches at the same time.

After two more rounds of duels, Li Qi watched multiple duels at the same time and concluded, "Nineteen has steadily entered the core layer of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena. There is only one person in his group who can be considered an opponent, and the other 28 contestants are much weaker."

When the top four in the group can enter the core layer of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena, it doesn't matter if Nineteen loses one game.

As long as he can maintain a perfect victory against other contestants, he can still enter the core layer of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena with the second place in the group.

Two hours later.

With Li Qi watching, Nineteen won all the group rounds and successfully entered the core layer of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena.

Afterwards, 200 losers were also selected by the virtual universe system. After a one-on-one duel, the winner also entered the core layer of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena.

So far, all 1,000 people who entered the core layer of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena have been decided.

…

Genius Battle Space, Central Square.

"Now the top 1,000 geniuses have been decided."

Jinmu Venerable stood in the air, looking down at the 1,000 geniuses below, and said: "First of all, congratulations on becoming a member of the core layer of my Giant Axe Fighting Field. You will be carefully cultivated by my Giant Axe Fighting Field."

"But there is always competition in the universe. You can't get the same resources and treatment. My Giant Axe Fighting Field will only spend the best resources to cultivate the best talents!"

"If you want to get better resources and treatment, then you have to compete!"

Jinmu Venerable announced: "Among the 1,000 of you, the 101st to 1,000th place can get a bonus of 10 Hunyuan units, can enter the initial universe to comprehend, and can join the core of my Giant Axe Fighting Field, the 'Fighting Secret Realm'."

"11th to 100th place...'Shenshi Secret Realm'."

"2nd to 10th place...'Hunxu Secret Realm'."

"1st place...'Giant Axe Secret Realm'."

"First place...'Giant Axe Secret Realm'." First, the top 100 talents will compete for the qualification to enter the ‘God’s Secret Realm’...”

…

“The 900 geniuses who enter the top 1000 through the reincarnation battle will be divided into 50 groups of 18 people to fight in the reincarnation battle, and the top 2 in each group will enter the next round.”

Li Qi read the competition system information on the light screen, “100 geniuses will be selected after the reincarnation battle, and they will be assigned by the virtual universe system to fight against the top 100 geniuses in the pre-selection points. The winner will be qualified to enter the ‘God’s Secret Realm’.”

“Nineteen needs to fight in the reincarnation battle and a duel. Only after winning both can they enter the ‘God’s Secret Realm’. The eldest brother is given preferential treatment because he is in the top 100 in the pre-selection points. He only needs to fight once.”

After reading the competition system information on the light screen, Li Qi understood that whether it was the Giant Axe Fighting Field or the Virtual Universe Company, the number of geniuses selected in the genius battle was the same, and the number of geniuses in the ‘Giant Axe Secret Realm’ or the ‘Original Secret Realm’ would occasionally change.

Obviously, the two giants who are qualified to host the Peak Talent Battle or the Power Battle have reached an agreement on hosting the Peak Battle, and the selected talents and the number of secret realms are the same.

"Wait, I remember seeing a team of 1,000 talents in Chaos City..."

Li Qi murmured: "At that time, there were still more than 10,000 years before the Peak Power Battle, which was held every 25,000 years."

"In other words, the team of 1,000 talents came from one of the three giants, the Universe Mercenary Alliance, the Universe Galaxy Bank, and the Universe First Bank?"

"In this case, the five giants' talents have the same number of places to enter Chaos City."

While Li Qi was thinking, the second round of the Peak Talent Battle had been divided into groups and officially started... (End of this chapter)
