Devouring the Star: Age of Cataclysm

Time flies by.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

Daxia time, it is April 2066, 4.

The registration for the Peak Genius Competition has also come to an end.

"My little master, the mail has arrived!"

"Xiao Fengzi, there's an email!"

"Xiao Hongzi, there's an email!"

"Big Bald Head, the notice has arrived!"

"..."

All the more than 40 warriors on Earth who signed up for the Genius Contest received the notification.

Then their consciousness immediately connected to the virtual universe network and entered it.

……

Virtual universe, Black Dragon Mountain Island.

Star Lake Villa Area.

Lin Ye, Luo Feng, Hong, Lei Shen...all gathered in front of the door of the First Speaker's villa.

They were accompanied by their relatives and friends, a huge group of more than a thousand people.

"Lin Xiaofeng, let grandpa hold you for a minute!"

Lin Ye picked up Lin Yu's eldest son and said with some emotion: "I haven't seen you for six months, and you have gained weight again."

"Grandpa~~" Lin Xiaofeng gently put his face close to Lin Ye's, rubbing his little face against Lin Ye's big face.

"Ba Ba, I want a hug too!"

Seeing his little nephew being intimate with his father, Lin Ye’s youngest son suddenly became a little anxious.

He squeezed out from the group of children and looked at Lin Ye eagerly, with a pitiful look as if he was about to cry.

"Hahaha, ignore my baby, come on and hold him together!!"

Seeing his youngest son Lin Batian, Lin Ye smiled knowingly, then reached out and picked him up.

Then he opened the email he had just received.

"Everyone is welcome to participate in this Universe Peak Genius Battle. The rules are as follows..."

"A total of 8225 billion stellar-level experts from Qianwu Universe have signed up for this competition..."

"Everyone is at the ninth level of the star class. They can freely choose any grade of weapons and telekinetic weapons, no more than ten..."

"..."

After a careful look, everyone quickly gained a general understanding of this battle of top geniuses.

This is a selection of geniuses regarding 'will', 'domain', 'combat experience' and 'comprehension of laws'.

What is selected is the most outstanding talents under the same external conditions!
at the same time.

Everyone also had a general understanding of the selection process for this peak genius competition.

The first stage is to select the top 1000 masters from the major cosmic countries.

Then, 1000 masters selected from each cosmic country will gather together for the final finals to select the top 1000 in the overall universe ranking.

The selection within the universe is divided into 'elimination round' and 'ring showdown'.

Among them, there is even a knockout system with a points elimination system. The more and stronger opponents you kill, the more points you will gain!
Death ends the game!
"..."

After reading this email, no one felt any heaviness or pressure at all.

Instead, he seemed eager to try and eager to fight!

Killing, points, rankings... these familiar words deeply stimulate many of the top warriors on Earth.

You know, ever since the Xinhuo Martial Arts School was founded, Lin Ye has been using the Trial Tower points exchange system to constantly motivate them to become stronger and stronger.

But now, this system comes from the Virtual Universe Company, one of the five giants in the universe.

Just thinking about it made the young Earth warrior feel his blood boiling.

"Speaker, out of the more than 800 billion star-level masters competing together, only 100,100 people are left in the end. That's pretty cruel!"

Thor unconsciously touched his big bald head and said with a smile: "The level of fighting in this scene is unprecedented. I'm afraid it will exceed our imagination!"

Although he said he was a little scared, Thor had a smiling face and didn't look afraid at all.

"So what if there are many people, and so what if the fighting is brutal, everyone here has survived a sea of ​​blood and corpses of monsters!"

Hong smiled and said, "It is this kind of crazy and bloody battle that can inspire people's most primitive desires and fighting power. Who knows, we may be able to make a breakthrough in the battle!"

As soon as the fighting maniac Hong opened his mouth, he was recognized by everyone.

As the top warriors on Earth, they have not only followed Lin Ye into many battles, but have also traveled alone in the universe.

Lin Ye even spent a large sum of money to give them so that they could see more things in the virtual universe!

After all the hard work in training, they are so experienced and knowledgeable that Lin Ye doesn't have to worry about them at all.

"I can't wait to fight them." Thor showed a smile on his face, and there was a bit of bloodthirsty desire for battle in his eyes.

"Knock it, my sledgehammer is also a little thirsty!" Huang Shaoying took off the peculiarly shaped fourth-order force weapon behind him and held it carefully in his arms.

Over the years, apart from his beloved wife Mu Bingyao, the only thing he liked was this great hammer.

Although everyone felt confused about this, they could do nothing about it.

After all, Huang Shaoying is the de facto Seventh Speaker. He is so powerful that only Lin Yehong and Lei Shen can surpass him.

Of course, there is also the up-and-coming second speaker, Luo Feng!

“This time, everyone, go all out and fight to your heart’s content!” Lin Ye looked around and saw the expectant eyes of all the warriors. He said loudly, “In this battle, let the entire human race of the Qianwu Universe see how powerful our Earth warriors are!”

"Okay!" x48
Faced with Lin Ye's encouragement, everyone was full of passion.

At this moment, they seemed to see themselves killing ten people in one step.

Fun!

……

Thanks to the extremely high efficiency of the Virtual Universe Company, preparations for the Cosmic Genius War proceeded extremely quickly.

Just one month after the registration ended, all the settings for the first qualifying round were completed.
The time came to May 2066, 5, which was also the day when Qianwu Universe gathered for the 'preliminary elimination round'.

……

"Everyone, whether our Karami Empire can rise from the Qianwu Universe depends on whether you can keep a close eye on the geniuses on the ranking list. Even if you can't find a super genius, you can make do with the inferior ones!"

"This is our best chance to recruit elites! We can't let it go!"

"As ordered!"

……

"You guys keep a close eye on the changes in the list. Every change must be calculated. Many of the future strong men of our Qianwu Universe will be born from these geniuses!"

"Yes, we will definitely collect and store the information of each elite genius, put it in the archives and keep it well. We will not let Master Eighteen down!"

……

"You are the most elite young generation of my Canglan Empire!"

"If you can make it into the top ten thousand of Qianwu Universe, this Lord God will personally go to the Black Dragon Star Region, the Skyfire Star Region, the Mangya Star Region, and the Nine Dust Star Region to fight for the opportunity for you to marry the prince and princess!"

As the preliminaries approached, Lord Canglan gathered this group of young star-level warriors together again and spoke with anticipation.

"I will personally escort those who perform better to the Milky Way to meet the Lord of the Galaxy!"

……

"Today is the start of the preliminaries. The Blackhearted Emperor has high expectations for you. Don't let him down!"

Black Heart Empire, inside the royal palace.

A group of realm masters were also speaking to a large group of star-level disciples.

"Yes!"

……

Countless people are paying attention to this talent selection competition.

On May 5, a large number of contestants gathered. There were more than 16 billion star-level warriors, and the average number in each galaxy was only tens of thousands.

Among these more than 8200 billion warriors...some have had adventures, some have talents, and some have backgrounds.

More importantly, it is to have a strong heart that constantly challenges and becomes stronger.

Otherwise, they would not have the confidence to compete with the endless geniuses!

In short, those who can participate in the competition all think they are very strong.

Including Lin Ye, Luo Feng and dozens of other Earth warriors, they are all among the 8200 billion star-level warriors.

Originally, it was in Lin Ye’s plan.

He wanted all of Earth's stellar slaves to sign up.

However, after he tested the strength of these people, he immediately gave up the idea.

These warriors knew very well that they could not even catch up with the strength of Earth warriors like them, let alone participate in this battle of top geniuses where all the geniuses gathered.

It's just for giving points.

After figuring this out, Lin Ye no longer had any other ideas and turned all his attention to the Earth warriors.

"Master, I'm in District 88, which district are you in?" Thor's bald head came forward and asked Lin Ye curiously.

"I'm in Area 100, which is the last area." Lin Ye nodded.

"Master, I'm in Area 1!" Luo Feng said with a smile.

"I'm in Area 72. Is there anyone in the same area of ​​the world as me?" Hong also asked.

"What a coincidence! East and I are both in Area 72!" Jia Yi stepped forward with a smile on his face.
"Then you can help each other. Unfortunately, my big hammer and I are alone in Area 2. How pitiful!" Huang Shaoying sighed in a pretentious manner.

Then, Lin Ye made a move in a flash and gave Huang Shaoying a slap on the face.

"Ouch!"

Huang Shaoying let out a cry of surprise, looked at Lin Ye helplessly, and finally chose to mutter softly.

"It seems that we can't fight side by side this time!" Hong Xiao looked at Lin Ye and Luo Feng, while the latter looked further away.

Looking around, there were shadowy figures of all kinds of humans - giants about ten meters tall, or some dwarves less than one meter tall, gathered in groups of three or five.

There are more than 820 billion of them, all of them are stellar-level warriors!
What would it be like if so many strong men gathered together to fight?!

Lin Yeguang felt restless just thinking about it.

Desperate for a fight!
"Attention all contestants, this preliminary elimination match is divided into one hundred 'world zones'. You will be transported collectively in ten minutes. Please hurry up and check your equipment and weapons."

"Once you are teleported, you will not be able to request weapons!"

A sound as loud as a bell echoed across the entire continent.

Lin Ye lowered his head and carefully checked his equipment——

A blood-red second-level Force battle suit, chest protector, vest, leggings, combat boots... and on his hand was a space ring, which contained a Force battle knife, a blood-flame divine weapon... in addition to food and drinks, there were exactly ten items.

The items and weapons simulated in the virtual universe are exactly the same as in reality!
"You guys should check it too!" Lin Ye looked at the many warriors surrounding him and reminded.

"Yes!" More than forty people nodded at the same time and began to check.

In this square where heroes gathered, time passed by bit by bit, as if it was very slowly.

"Group teleportation is about to begin. Countdown: 60...59...58..."

This clear voice once again rang out over the entire Qianwu Continent.

In the ocean-like crowd, Lin Ye and others looked at each other.

"Wish us good luck! Let's get through the qualifiers together!"

Everyone's mouth twitched slightly, and they said in unison.

“5……4……3……2……1！传送开始！！”

The resounding voice echoed across the continent, ringing in the ears of more than 800 billion warriors.

The next moment, everyone on the entire continent disappeared.

Almost at the same moment.

In the one hundred qualifying worlds opened up in the virtual universe, more than 82 billion people appeared in each.

The battle of top geniuses began its initial preliminary elimination at this moment!
As the top event for the entire human race, everyone, from the aloof rulers of the universe to ordinary citizens of the universe, is paying attention to this event.

Especially the strong people and citizens of their respective universes, they are also very concerned about the preliminaries of their own universes.

……

World District 100.

Lin Ye quickly woke up from the dizziness he felt during the transmission.

The scene in front of me began to become clear.

He then realized that he was in a forest.

The lush ancient trees were so tall that you couldn't see their tops, blocking out the sun, and the entire forest was in darkness.

"Whoosh!!"

Lin Ye kicked lightly, and turned into a stream of light and flew directly towards the treetops.

"What a terrible gravity!" During the process of rising into the air, Lin Ye felt the constant downward pulling force. He was slightly startled, but he calmed down in an instant.

He was already familiar with this kind of world gravity, which was tens of thousands of times that of the Earth, from his previous training. He had even practiced and fought in gravity hundreds of thousands of times or more.

Therefore, he was naturally very familiar with this level of gravity.

Above the tree canopy, Lin Ye looked down at the wristband screen on his arm. This wristband could automatically receive many messages from the organizer, the 'Virtual Universe Company'.

At this moment, dense text appeared on the screen——

[Participants: Lin Ye (Black Dragon Mountain Empire)]

[Score: 0, Ranking: None]

[World Region: 100th World Region]

[Time: The pre-qualification will last for one month. When the time is up, the pre-qualification will end and the winner will be determined based on the final points ranking.]

There are 1699 cities in the entire continent, with a total land and water area of ​​9 million square kilometers. The hardness of many objects such as houses and the ground is B.]

[Score rules: Killing a player earns one point, and you also get half of the opponent's points! Killing a master can earn more points. ]

[Ranking Rules: The dead still have points and rankings, so please hurry up and kill your opponents]

[Solemn reminder: Everyone has only one life. After death, the pre-selection stops and half of the points are lost. 】

【…】

Looking at this information and rules, Lin Ye felt like he was looking at his own information panel.

The next moment, he had a thought in his mind.

Then he summoned his information panel——

[Name: Lin Ye]

[Realm: Stellar Level Six]

[Mental power: Stellar level nine]

[Field: Nirvana Field (Eighth Level)]

[Laws: Introduction to the Law of the Origin of Fire, understanding of a little bit of the Law of the Origin of Space, understanding of a little bit of the Law of the Origin of Water, and understanding of the Law of the Origin of Wood...]

[Weapons: Blood Flame Divine Weapon (Second Level), Vulcan Suit, Thousand Tribulations Pagoda (Status: Unusable)]

【Plant-assisted life: Thousand Star Udumbara Flower】

【…】

Lin Ye stood on the top of the tree canopy, looking at his information panel. His cold eyes gazed quietly into the distance, with a smile on his lips.

Then, he jumped out from the tree canopy, and with the burst of mental power, he took in every move around him.

"This 100th World Area is my stage!!"
