The arena trembled violently, and the crowd erupted in cheers and gasps as the shockwave rippled through the space. Dust and debris obscured the view for a mont before settling.
When the dust cleared, the result was undeniable.
The Heavenly Net of Destruction had remained unbroken, its threads shimring with an otherworldly light. Arion, on the other hand, stood with countless cuts in the centre of the net, his greatsword shattered and his body surrounded by countless threads of sword aura.
Arion’s face was pale, his breathing ragged. But he didn’t have the strength to say anything as slowly he disappeared from Dinsion Battle World.
With a flick of his hand, Apollo dispelled the net, the sword aura dissipating into the air like mist.
[Victory! Challenger Apollo.]
With the announcent, the spectators beca wild and cheered as they saw the new genius break the barrier of the guardian and join the top geniuses of the universe.
Apollo’s ranking was updated once again, propelling him further up the leaderboard. He reached the 1,000,000 ranks, replacing Arion and joining the top million group.
With his victory, his ID on Dinsion Battle World seed to have been updated, and he was now able to access so new information and features.
First was after becoming the millionth genius; he, from now on, will receive ’Krona coins,’ the currency used in the universe as he fought the battle. He will also get the cut from the cut paid by audiences.
He will get a discount on every purchase of most items in the universe. Not to ntion he can access secret information.
But since he currently is just at the lowest level of geniuses, all of these facilities have limited benefits. Like the discount, which is only five per cent, but if he was in the top hundred thousand, it would be ten per cent and so on.
It might be a great help to others, but for him, it was icing on the cake, as he was a mber of the transcendent power Sky Tower, and he had quite a high status, which made all of these less desirable.
However, Apollo’s primary focus now was on improving his understanding of Sword World. While the battle had seed easy, it still allowed him to gain new insights. He realised the importance of engaging in more battles, accumulating experience, and deepening his knowledge by confronting and feeling the essence of various laws.
His sword is different as he has taken the path of eternal omnipotence, aning he needed his sword to perfect and even combine all of them to break free from any constraint, becoming a true eternal sword.
He needed to continue to learn and improve every step he took; hence, facing different opponents with unique fighting strengths and laws was the best way for him to improve.
He didn’t wait and imdiately challenged the 999,999th-ranked genius. Normally, such duels would be scheduled within a few hours, but if the opponent was unavailable, the system would automatically redirect the challenge to the next higher-ranked genius. This ensured no unnecessary delays in the ranking battles.
While he was waiting, his battle outco with Arion made him famous as the news spread.
Apollo’s duel with Arion had beco the talk of the Dinsion Battle World. Spectators, and even so of the higher-ranked geniuses, were intrigued to learn that the newcor had so decisively defeated Arion.
The ergence of a new challenger in the top million—a rank that symbolised true genius across the vast universe—was always a significant event.
But it attracted much attention because Apollo’s Sword Aura shocked everyone, as they were not ignorant and understood the unbelievable thing that just happened. A sword domain cut through a special world, not a simple law world but a combination of two strong laws, which naturally was a shocking thing.
Such news naturally attracted many geniuses, especially swordsn, all over the universe.
The Dinsion Battle World also has public forums, and it was lit up with theories about him.
"Who is Apollo? A hidden genius or the next universal prodigy?"
"His Sword Aura is unlike anything I’ve seen. It’s not just destructive—it’s transcendent."
"If he’s already this strong, how long before he challenges the top hundred thousand?"
anwhile, Apollo ignored the commotion. For him, the fight wasn’t about fa—it was about sharpening his sword and stepping closer to his ultimate goal.
A few hours later, his challenge was accepted, and he again appeared in the arena. But this ti the arena was even more packed, as the spreading of news about him had brought more spectators.
He didn’t care as he was here to fight and improve.
His opponent this ti was a woman, though not human. Apollo didn’t care about her origins; all that mattered was the battle. She was an assassin-type fighter, gifted with incredible reflexes and an understanding of the World of Mirage—a law that could confound most opponents. However, such tricks were of no concern to him.
The mont the battle began, Apollo charged forward with unwavering confidence. His speed surpassed hers effortlessly, and his precise strikes made her elusive movents seem sluggish.
With a single, decisive swing of his ’Eternal Sword Aura,’ he shattered her mirages and severed the very fabric of her unique mirage world. The clash ended as swiftly as it began, leaving no doubt about his superiority.
Such a result continued as in a single day he fought four more battles after this before ending the day.
After these continuous battles, Apollo could clearly sense his swordsmanship improving. The Eternal Sword Aura seed to deepen in complexity and strength with each duel, and the feeling of an imminent breakthrough into the ’Sword World’ beca stronger with every ditation session.
anwhile, in the Dinsion Battle World, chaos erupted. Footage of Apollo’s battles began circulating widely, drawing attention from countless swordsn across the universe.
His Eternal Sword Aura was unlike anything they had ever seen—its mysterious and profound essence left warriors in awe, inspiring so and overwhelming others with its sheer presence. Many swordsn found themselves entranced by the mysteries of his strikes, as though his sword carried the very essence of eternity.
But this was only the beginning.
Apollo refused to slow down. Every day, he issued challenges to those ranked above him. With unyielding determination, he fought five matches daily, defeating stronger and more skilled opponents each ti.
His relentless climb continued for an entire month, pushing his na to the forefront of the universal battlefield. His fa spread like wildfire, and discussions of his talent and unique swordsmanship dominated the conversations of swordsn and warriors throughout the cosmos.
Today he was feeling different as he already felt his breakthrough, but before that, he was going to fight another swordsman, which he selected for his breakthrough.
In a month he fought 150 battles and improved not only his sword understanding but also created his sixteenth sword. So he is looking forward to using it.
Today’s opponent was a significant jump in ranking, as he was within the top hundred thousand, ranked 94,567th. This was much higher than Apollo’s rank of 456,478th. However, during the past month, he had earned so fa, and his sword aura had attracted the attention of many swordsn, which led the higher-ranked opponent to accept his challenge.
The match drew an unprecedented crowd. The challenger, Arcturus, was no ordinary opponent. Ranked 94,567th, he was a swordsman renowned for his mastery of Astral Flow Swordsmanship.
Arcturus appeared in the centre of the arena, his presence exuding confidence and calm. His sword, a blade shimring with faint starlight, rested lightly in his grasp. He regarded Apollo with a hint of curiosity, his voice calm yet carrying weight.
"You’re the one everyone’s been talking about—the swordsman with a unique Sword Aura. I hope you live up to the rumours."
Apollo’s lips curved into a slight smile. "Sa; hopefully, Astral Flow Swordsmanship would also live up to his na."
The crowd hushed, and the air grew heavy with anticipation. As the duel was announced, the crowd gathered, their murmurs filling the air.
"This is going to be interesting. Arcturus is a master of swordsmanship and is extrely strong."
"Yeah, but have you seen Apollo’s sword aura? It seed unimaginably powerful and mysterious."
The atmosphere crackled with excitent as the match began.
[Begin...]
Arcturus was the first to move, vanishing in a blur of starlight. His blade seed to erge from every direction at once, as though the stars themselves were attacking. Apollo didn’t flinch. He raised his sword, its silver sheen glowing faintly, and parried the strikes with effortless precision.
Each collision rang like a symphony of clashing cosmic power.
"Not bad," Apollo remarked, his voice calm amidst the storm. "But it isn’t much."
With a sharp motion, he countered. His sword moved, splitting space into fragnts, creating trails of slicing void energy that disrupted Arcturus’s rhythm.
Arcturus’s calm deanour cracked slightly as he narrowly avoided the devastating energy arcs. "Impressive... but let’s see how you handle this!"
He raised his blade, drawing power from the stars above. A constellation-like array ford in the air and the arena was bathed in radiant starlight.
