Swallowing the Starry Sky for Billions of Years

Chapter 779 Siege
It is the Eight-Gate Kui Extinguishing Arrow.

This should be the most important component of the top-tier treasure in this hundredth era. There are twelve components in total: a bow body, two bowstrings, an emblem, and eight specially made arrows. Ever since the Zerg obtained the bow body and bowstrings, they have been pursuing the remaining components. Only the emblem is held by the life form of the Ancestral God Cult, and the Zerg are still negotiating with it.

Of the remaining arrows, only those representing the fundamental laws of water and light have not yet been born. The insectoid race is determined to obtain them. Furthermore, as top-tier treasures, the power of these arrows will be greatly reduced if a single component is missing. This means that although the Eight-Enclosure Kui Annihilation Arrow is only a high-grade treasure, the insectoid race can demand a higher price from it than for ordinary high-grade treasures.

One of them lies here quietly. Perhaps it was lucky that no living thing was nearby when it was born, or perhaps, like some other top-tier treasures, it simply has no aura.

Gu En immediately put away the Eight-Arch Kui Annihilation Arrow. After refining it, he found no information. He couldn't suppress his excitement: "Venerable Lanxin, you've really put me in a difficult position by giving me this thing."

Venerable Lanxin was furious. Watching the Eight Universe Palace disappear into the distance in an instant, he burned with divine power. His entire divine body transformed into a complex and brilliant radiance, and a storm stronger than the suction force of a black hole formed. However, it still could not stop the Eight Universe Palace from leaving, only slightly slowing down its flight speed.

'Even burning divine power shouldn't be this fast. It seems those Venerables he captured alive have indeed been enslaved, and they're among them now.'

While relentlessly pursuing Gu En, Venerable Lanxin also tried to notify her clan to intercept him. Although the demon race did not have such an exaggerated communication method as the virtual universe, for the primordial star, the demon race would receive the information in three minutes at most. This time was far from enough for Gu En to travel to other primordial star passages or leave.

'These three locations are the most likely exit points. Once we're out, escaping will be easy. I'm too slow to catch up, so I can only try blocking this passageway.'

Venerable Lanxin thought very quickly.

……

However, the direction of the Eight Universe Palace's flight was beyond everyone's expectations, because Gu En did not need to leave. Instead, the best choice was to go to the nearest Chaos City Lord's Primal Star. The whereabouts of the Lord of the Universe were not something that the Venerables could know.

Gunn himself began to doubt whether his luck was a little off. It wasn't that he hadn't encountered good things, but the treasures he had recently been to him were not for him. The top-tier treasures before and the components of the top-tier treasures now were all the same.

The high-speed flight of the Eight Universes Palace caused many beings to give way, but this situation did not continue. Some of the Venerables who had given way returned. Although they were only demon forces, they still surrounded the palace in numbers. However, most of them stayed far away, merely following and monitoring, and dared not truly approach.

"Why would the demon race attack the Ancient Dark Palace?"

"I don't think so. The Palace Master Gu Hui is walking, and this group of people are following. But with the top-tier treasures that have recently appeared, the demon race doesn't seem to have any initiative."

"Let's follow along and see what's going on. Something seems amiss."

……

As Gunn drew closer to a certain passage, the demon lords, though puzzled that this wasn't a direct route out of the original star, still approached.

"Buy some time to get Venerable Lanxin and Overlord Terrorclaw overlord over here."

"Do not enter the area; be careful of illusion attacks."

“There may be Venerable Zihui and his group lurking in his palace. Don’t be careless.”

The demon venerables all made their moves from a distance, not seeking merit, but merely to cause disruption. With so many demon venerables, there were bound to be several domains opposing the Myriad Rainbow Lake. The others hurriedly took action, with only one rule: absolutely not to enter the area of ​​the Myriad Rainbow Lake.

Now Gu En also understands the difficulties that Venerable Lanxin faced before. If he chases after them, they scatter and flee, and he can only catch one or two. But if he doesn't chase them, they keep harassing him, and it's impossible to say that there is no impact at all.

Soon, Venerable Lanxin, Overlord of Terror Claws, Venerable Golden Pelican, Venerable Chanxuan...

The overlords of the demon race and the demon alliance appeared one after another, actively approaching Guen. The crimson waves around Venerable Golden Peacock continuously crashed against the Myriad Rainbow Lake, leading the other Venerables to actively enter Guen's attack range. Otherwise, it would only be interference, how could it play a role in blocking?

Six cosmic overlords charged forward. "Palace Master Gu Hui, hand over the Eight-Yuan Kui Annihilation Arrow, and you can leave safely!" Venerable Lan Xin roared, swinging his giant hammer, instantly annihilating countless approaching rainbow lights. Even without Venerable Jin Ti's exertion, the Myriad Rainbow Lake could no longer get close.

“Lanxin, Kongzhao… Only two demon overlords, but that’s enough.” Gu En stood in the Eight Universes Hall, calmly watching them reach a certain distance. His divine power burned, and he stepped up to the Four Hearts Staircase!
"call"

A starry sky enveloped the six overlords.

"I heard your move is called Rust Star. Let's see if it can corrode my consciousness." Venerable Lanxin, like a complex and brilliant luminous being, suddenly became faster rather than slower.

"You're just showing off with your treasures, Palace Master Gu Hui. Pay the price for your arrogance." The Terror Claw Overlord was a hunched, standing dragon-beast covered in black scales. It was over twenty kilometers tall, which was quite small for a demon. Yet, it wore a set of high-grade treasure claws, and its close-combat ability was even better than that of Venerable Lan Xin.

All the overlords were prepared to fight against the illusion.

A beam of light streaked across the starry sky, and then everyone realized that it was not light, but the birth of stars, one after another. This starry sky was like a real universe, with galaxies and star fields... all formed in an instant and then collided together. At first, Venerable Lanxin thought that the illusion had changed, but she never saw the ethereal divine power invade her. It was only when she was already surrounded by the wildly colliding stars that she realized something was wrong.

"Certainly!"

As Venerable Lanxin landed on the ground, a terrifying storm formed, shattering countless stars and pinning him firmly to the spot. However, this did not diminish the chaotic momentum; instead, it became even more terrifying. The Milky Way surged. He had seen the shattering of a single star before, but to witness the shattering of stars from an entire galaxy made him feel incredibly small. This scene was truly magnificent.

'Is this an illusion, or some kind of secret technique?'

Even Venerable Lanxin was somewhat confused. It seemed both real and illusory, but he had never seen a secret method to directly create a universe.

Lanxin Venerable was alright, as he was able to avoid being swept away by the celestial river of star torrents. Jinti Venerable was the first to be swept away, and even his wave domain was torn apart time and time again by the star torrents, leaving him with no way to resist.

how so!
The Venerables of the Demon Alliance, standing at a distance, could see a blurry scene beneath the curtain of the starry sky. Not only did the six overlords fail to threaten the Ancient Palace Master, but they also immediately dispersed after a celestial river appeared in the starry sky.

The Venerable Ones looked at each other in bewilderment. Did they see six overlords besieging a human overlord?

……

The Terrorclaw Overlord glanced strangely at the Golden Pelican Venerable and other beings who were being scrolled, feeling the vastness emanating from the torrent of stars constantly influencing and interfering with him, giving him a subtle sense of submission to the might of the universe. He could still resist it, so correspondingly, he actually felt that although this celestial river was powerful, requiring him to fight with all his might, it was not enough to make him be swept away like the Golden Pelican Venerable, or pinned to the spot and unable to move like the Lanxin Venerable. Occasionally, he would be swept up by the celestial river, but he would quickly regain his footing and continue to travel through it.

'This secret technique is not simply an illusion, but illusion must play a significant role within it.'

The Terrorclaw Overlord flew upstream against the current of the Milky Way, heading towards the distant palace.

'The Terrorclaw Overlord is truly terrifying; it deserves its reputation as the most likely next ruler of the demon race's universe.' Gunn sensed that the Star River had some influence on the Terrorclaw Overlord, but it was very limited.

This secret technique is based on the original ancestor's fundamental illusion theory. The original ancestor's mastery of soul magic was to pursue a world that was false yet as real as it was real. This is somewhat similar to a virtual universe. Therefore, when Gunn created this secret technique, it was based on the same principle.

In the secret world of Xinghan, if one is overwhelmed by the might of heaven and feels insignificant, the damage caused by this move will become more and more exaggerated due to one's unconscious abandonment of defense, and the feeling of "insignificance" will become more and more intense. Conversely, as long as one realizes that it is false and becomes more and more doubtful, that feeling of insignificance will become more and more distant.

Once you start to doubt, you'll only become more and more doubtful.

'The pure material damage from the Star River alone won't be enough to defeat the Terrorclaw Overlord; we need to deal with the others first.'

Gunn flew toward the Golden Pelican.
