Chapter 482: Cosmic Stairway Tournament

[Cosmic Stairway Tournament]
[Time limit: 1 cosmic year.]
[Divided into two stages, 18 cosmic days each.]
[The first half is the Cosmic Stairway Point Race. The Cosmic Stairway Tower will open on the first cosmic day, and the challenge space will open on the ninth day.]
[The second half is the Points Contest. The arena will open on the 18th cosmic day, and the Asura Arena will open on the 27th cosmic day.]
[Note: All participants’ Initial Life on the Cosmic Stairway is 1. You will gain 1 HP every 9 days.]
[Note: Reaching the top of the Cosmic Stairway Tower or passing all challenge spaces will reward you with 50,000,000 points each. And, you won’t need to participate in the Points Contest.]
[Note: Elimination occurs every 9 cosmic days. The rules for advancement will vary.]
All the rules of the Cosmic Stairway Tournament appeared before Wang Ye’s eyes.
After reading it three times, it was almost clear.
In his personal lounge, the virtual screen in front of him was flashing.
The information of the Supernova Prodigy Tournament was more transparent than that of the breakout competition. Not only were all 7.17 million participants listed, but the rankings were also visible.
There were four doors that led to different cosmic stairways, and only one was open at the moment.
The Cosmic Stairway Tower.
Wang Ye opened his personal information on the virtual screen.
[Red River Cosmic Nation: Wang Ye]
[Points: o]
[HP: 1]
[Rank: None]
[Advancement rules: Within 9 cosmic days, pass the 9th level of the Cosmic
Stairway Tower.]
“The Cosmic Stairway Tournament is very long.” Wang Ye wasn’t in a hurry.
One HP meant one chance.
If they didn’t pass the 9th level of the Cosmic Stairway Tower, they would be eliminated.
“The rules only state the beginning of the competition’s stages and not their ending. That is to say, the further one goes, the more ways one can obtain points. The elimination will be very intense.”
Wang Ye looked at the two cosmic stairways that would open in the second half of the competition, the arena and the Asura Arena.
The Points Contest.
It was basically an outcome of the winner taking it all.
H
It might be different from the 90% elimination rate estimated before the competition. It should be at least 95%, or even higher.”
Wang Ye felt a little pressured.
If 90% of the contestants would be eliminated in the first round, leaving 717,000 contestants, he was confident that he could perform steadily and pass.
However, if 95% or even higher would be eliminated in the first round, leaving only 2,300,000 or even just 100,000 participants to advance in the end…
That would be dangerous.
Besides, looking at the second half of the Cosmic Stairway, there were many variables.
There was also the difference in mentality.
When he had participated in the Taishi Starfield breakout competition, he had gone there to have fun. He had no pressure and swept through the competition.
This was because he had absolute confidence in his strength.
However, it was different now.
He was up against geniuses from the entire cosmic, geniuses from the ten eternal nations!
He had to fight for it round by round. It could be over if he was careless.
This concerned whether he could enter the seven supreme factions and step onto the stairs that led straight to the heavens.
“Points and HP are very important.” Wang Ye locked onto the key.
The points would determine one’s ranking on the Cosmic Stairway Ranking, and it might even affect the next round.
Otherwise, the rules stating that 50,000,000 points would be rewarded for reaching the top of the Cosmic Stairway Tower or passing all challenge spaces would be meaningless.
Couldn’t they just rank them?
As for HP, every additional point meant one more chance to make a mistake.
“Be as careful as possible. If 1 don’t have the confidence to advance to the
Cosmic Stairway Tower’s next level, stop and save my HP.” Wang Ye analyzed.
Based on the probability of elimination, the first half of the competition was not very dangerous for him. The second half of the competition was the real deal.
If the first half could be carried out carefully and steadily, then when the second half started, he would have 3 HP.
Having two more trial-and-error opportunities would undoubtedly be a huge advantage.
“The Cosmic Stairway Tournament has a high degree of freedom.”
Wang Ye was surprised.
The Cosmic Stairway Board had been refreshed.
[1] Darksun Eternal Nation, Chi Xuan: 100
The first one!
Didn’t this guy need to look at the rules?
Wang Ye complained in his heart.
In such a short time, he stood out from the 7.17 million participants and obtained the first kill. Not only did he need to be extremely powerful, but… He didn’t use his brain at all!
“The first level shouldn’t be too difficult. Let’s test the waters first.” Wang Ye entered the Cosmic Stairway Tower.
[Level 1. Defeat the devil army within the time limit.]
A 3000-second countdown appeared in front of Wang Ye.
In the middle of the bloody battlefield, a group of elite devil troops appeared around him and roared as they charged at him. There were a hundred of them!
There was no time to prepare at all, and the battle began immediately.
With an intermediate Black Hole-level devil commander-in-chief as the leader, three basic Black Hole-level devil commanders-in-chief led a group of Super Star-level devil generals.
The battlefield was filled with a murderous atmosphere, and Wang Ye instantly felt as if he had returned to Pradi Galaxy.
Charge! Burning their battle souls!
Overwhelming killing intent enveloped him. Wang Ye drew the Hellfire Devil Blade and faced the opponents head-on.
He was very familiar with this.
The Devil Exterminate Saber Technique was used to break through the devils’ strong physique and battle souls.
Compared to when he was in Pradi Galaxy, his currently stronger physical body and stage 8 dark power made it so that Wang Ye was unstoppable.
Super Star-level devil generals were killed in one slash, and so were the basic Black Hole-level devil commanders-in-chief.
“Boom!” The Hellfire Devil Blade was burning with pitch-black flames, and Wang Ye’s saber intent was instantly ignited.
Facing the violent attack of the intermediate Black Hole-level devil commander-in-chief, it tore through his physical defense, and the death hellfire devoured him crazily.
Another instant kill!
In just a moment, the loo elite devils had been annihilated.
[First level, passed.]
[Points Obtained: loo]
Light flashed before his eyes.
Wang Ye arrived at a tall, empty tower and stood on the first level.
At the edge of the tower were four spiral stairs, and in the middle was a ring of light that flickered with strange colors.
Oh? Wang Ye climbed the step and the space changed.
A familiar scene appeared in front of him. The virtual screen lit up, and the entrance to the Cosmic Stairway Tower was visible.
He had returned to his personal lounge.
Boundless energy surged out from the surroundings and was absorbed by his body.
“The Cosmic Stairway Tournament also has a requirement for continuous combat ability. It’s very close to reality.”
Wang Ye didn’t consume much energy.
After all, a battle of this level was too easy for him.
However, this was only the first level.
“All Pu and Wu Yunduo should be able to handle it, but it will be difficult for them.” Wang Ye sighed.
This was the Supernova Prodigy Tournament, a true cosmic-level competition!
If one was not strong enough, one would surely be eliminated in the first round.
He clicked on his personal information.
[Red River Cosmic Nation: Wang Ye]
[Points: loo]
[HP: 1]
[Rank: 1234879]
It was ridiculous.
Didn’t he just study the rules for a while more? Why was he already ranked outside of 1.2 million?
Wang Ye saw that according to the rankings, the points were decreasing, from 99 to 98, 97, and so on.
Those with the same ranking due to the same number of points would have their rankings decided with the time they took.
There was a difference in the results due to the completion rate. If he guessed correctly, participants who had less than 100 points should have suffered different degrees of injuries.
He searched for Ah Pu and Wu Yunduo. Neither of them had any points and was still on the first level.
He clicked on the follow notification so the changes in their points would send him a message.
Then, Wang Ye took his time to recover. He wasn’t in a hurry.
He had 9 cosmic days to enter the 10th level, which was more than enough.

In the human virtual cosmic.
“The io great eternal nations are competing for the rankings. Nice!”
“Mu Anyun of the Nansheng Eternal Nation and Bi Bolan of the Asheli Eternal Nation are in the top three! As expected of the well-known prodigies. They’re as stable as ever.”
“Who’s Xian Yuyan from the Yunzhou Eternal Nation? I’ve never heard of her before. She’s actually in the top three?”
“There are a lot of people who we’ve never heard of. The current ranking doesn’t mean anything. Let’s wait and see in three days. At that time, the difference in strength will be revealed. Those newcomers who were lucky enough to appear will soon disappear from the Cosmic Stairway Board.”
“That’s right. To think there’s someone from a starfield empire in the top ten. Elio Empire’s Piao Baibai. He’s unknown! How can he be compared to the proud talents of the eternal nations?”
Taishi Star Network.
“The gap is really big. They passed the test easily, but we have to fight hard.”
“So this is the ten great eternal nations! The genius selection is their stage, to begin with. In the past, the top three have always been taken by them. Let’s just watch the show. Don’t get your hopes up.”
“You can’t say that. Although All Pu and Wu Yunduo are having quite a difficult time, at least Wang Ye is quite powerful. He has successfully passed the third level on his first cosmic day and is currently ranked within the top million!”
” Yes, yes, yes. He’s the only hope of our Taishi Starfield!”
The fourth level, passed!
The fifth level, passed!
The sixth level, passed!
Wang Ye slowly passed through each level with stability.
The Cosmic Stairway Tower wasn’t a competition of who was the fastest. It was a competition of levels and completion rate. If he went there in his best condition, his points would be higher.
“2100 points.” Wang Ye hadn’t lost points yet.
Although he had only passed the sixth level, his points were higher than some of the competitors who had passed the seventh level.
After three cosmic days, he had almost figured out the pattern of the Cosmic Stairway Tower.
“Three levels is a small threshold and nine levels is a big threshold. The first level tests how well you can perform on the battlefield and in actual combat. The second level is the measurement of willpower, which the high-dimensional cosmic values very much. The third level is comprehensive testing, assessing one’s combination of thought and combat prowess and the ability to break the situation!”
Wang Ye seized the time to recover his combat prowess.
From the fourth to the sixth level, compared to the first to the third level, the mode did not change, but the difficulty was higher.
Using the second and fifth levels as a comparison. The second level required Black Hole-level willpower while the fifth level required peak Black Hole-level willpower.
If he didn’t guess wrong… The eighth level would require one’s willpower to surpass the Black Hole level!
It was too difficult.
After nine cosmic days, at least half of the participants would be eliminated. It was not that easy to pass the seventh to ninth level.
“All Pu is on the fifth level and Duo’er is on the fourth level.”
Wang Ye took a look.
The efficiency of the two was relatively slow.
Ah Pu was slightly higher in the current ranking at about 6.9 million while Wu Yunduo was placed at about 7 million.
It wasn’t that they were weak. It was because those from the eternal nations and starfield empires were too powerful.
Most of all the 90000 participants from the cosmic nation starfields were below 6.8 million. Ah Pu was already considered high-ranking.
Cosmic nation participants who could squeeze into the top 1 million at this point could be counted on one hand.
One of them was himself.
[Rank: 986712]
“Next, I’ll clear the seventh to ninth levels in one go, completing the first stage and advancing! 1 can also raise my ranking and let them know that cosmic nation participants aren’t to be trifled with.”
Wang Ye entered the Cosmic Stairway Tower.
Let’s make a good start!
