Devouring the Star: Age of Cataclysm

"What a beautiful statue of the beast god."

On the spaceship that returned to the original secret realm, Lin Ye took out the statue he had obtained in the Xueluo world and played with it carefully.
The entire statue is about 30 cm high and has a translucent shape with gold and red mixed in it.

It looks like a ferocious beast similar to a lizard.

The ferocious head and sturdy limbs exude an extremely fierce aura at all times.

Especially the single horn on its head, which was raised high as if it almost pierced the sky.

"Ow!"

"Ah~ah~"

Gently playing with the beast god statue in his hand, Lin Ye's eyes moved across every scale on its body.

It was carved with extremely clear hooves, claws and a tail... It looked like a giant lizard monster, rampaging through the universe, killing countless people with just a breath.

At this moment, Lin Ye felt his blood boiling because of the murderous aura.

"Fierce, domineering, and unstoppable..."

This is the path I really need to pursue!! "

"In the art of swordsmanship, it is better to strike in the straight line than in the crooked line!!"

Lin Ye was extremely excited.

Almost involuntarily.

He imitated the lizard monster that roamed the universe and destroyed everything, and began to practice his sword skills.

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"

The sharp blade light swept through the space and bloomed in the cabin of the spacecraft.

"Clang Clang Clang!!!"

Brilliant sparks burst out from the surrounding barriers. Lin Ye's attack was like scratching an itch for the defense of this F-class spaceship.

Even if he used all his strength, he couldn't cause much damage to it.

This is the top-level F-class spaceship that Venerable Fenchen prepared for his disciple.

Apart from the powerful Immortal King who can break through the defense, the rest of the Immortals can only watch and sigh.

"Outside form but within spirit!"

The direction of the secret pattern of the beast god statue emerged in Lin Ye's mind, and he also thought of the flow of the evil vortex in the ancient god ruins.

Those blurry images formed by boundless evil spirit were projected into his mind across the vast space and time.

In an instant, a lot of insights emerged in his mind, and some bottlenecks that he had been unable to figure out before were also opened up and became extremely clear.

"Compared with the secret method of Eternal Tribulation and this statue of the beast god, there is still a huge gap!"

The aura revealed by the beast god statue and the special artistic conception it contains are undoubtedly countless times more powerful than what I had previously sensed about the Marquis of Ji Tian in Chaos City.

The two are not even in the same league!
Staring at the statue of the beast god, Lin Ye imitated his movements and constantly changed his sword skills.

"It seems that my swordsmanship can be more domineering and more bizarre!!"

"Why not... let Qianying's clone give it a try!"

Lin Ye’s mind moved.

Beside him, Qianying's clone in blood-red armor suddenly appeared.

however.

What Lin Ye didn't expect was.

A sudden change occurred!

"Buzz buzz!!"

Even the spring snow that was exposed to the scorching sun quickly melted in the hands of Qianying's clones.

"What's going on!?" Lin Ye was slightly shocked, but not too worried.

Because he clearly felt that the statue of the beast god still existed.

It's just a form of existence, and it seems that billions of changes have occurred.

"Did the Beast God statue merge with Qianying's clone just like that!?"

Lin Ye quickly recovered from the shock and immediately began to let Qianying's clone study it.

As for all of Qianying's clones' insights into the Beast God statue, they all appeared in Lin Ye's mind without fail.

"That's... very good!!"

After nodding with satisfaction, Lin Ye continued to improve the secret method of "Eternal Tribulation" and began to apply the insights he gained from the statue of the Beast God.

Take it all in and make it your own.

"My little master, enter the virtual universe. There is a place specifically suitable for you to create secret arts."

Chan'er's voice rang in Lin Ye's mind, and he nodded: "Okay!"

After saying this, he separated a wisp of his consciousness and entered the virtual universe network.

At the same time, Qianying's clones and the original body were still comprehending the statue of the Beast God.

Stars of spiritual light burst out in Lin Ye's mind, all of which came from the collision between his past accumulation and the statue of the Beast God.

After entering the virtual universe, Chan'er took him directly into the secret room for training in the primitive area.

This is specially built for the core members of the virtual universe and is countless times more perfect than the Killing Space and the Decisive Battle Space.

"Hu~~"

Lin Ye appeared out of nowhere in a hall. Looking around, he saw stone carvings on the walls that were engraved with secret techniques and spells.

In the very center of the hall, a sculpture imitating the Monument of Cosmic Chaos stands there, exuding an immersive atmosphere.

"Wow~ So many secret techniques!!"

Lin Ye couldn't help but let out a sigh, and soon he was completely immersed in the ocean of swordsmanship.

"Whoa whoa whoa!"

Blade lights bloomed around him like lotus flowers, brilliant and sharp.

“Naraka looks like it has a very strong burst, but in fact, its shortcomings are also very obvious, and its sustainability is too weak…”

"The secret method I want can not only help me unleash my full combat power, but also give me a great advantage in endurance competition."

Lin Ye closed his eyes and used his mental power to feel the mystical charm of the surrounding stone walls, absorbing the good parts while removing the dross.

At this moment, he couldn't help but recall the battle with the immortal god in the ruins of the ancient gods.

With the support of an endless supply of immortal divine power, the immortal god who was comparable to a marquis was able to launch fierce attacks on Qianying's clones again and again.

What is the test?!

That is the sustained combat power possessed by the explosion of divine power.

"Although I am not immortal yet, and I do not possess an immortal body or divine power, but... I have the power of the Force and the power of laws!!"

As soon as he thought of this, Lin Ye's eyes sparkled, and then he sat cross-legged on the ground and began to create.

He strung together all the tiny ideas like candied haws.

The experience and insights gained from the various secret methods also became the basic conditions for his creation.

Aura, experience, understanding... countless battle experiences, the teachings of Venerable Fenchen, and the unique artistic conception of the Beast God statue gave Lin Ye great help at this moment.

Then, he began to analyze a series of secret techniques and methods, and understood their strengths and weaknesses.

Gradually, he gained more and more insights into the way of the sword, and even a sword system slowly formed in Lin Ye's mind.

at the same time.

In the cabin of the spacecraft, Lin Ye, who was sitting cross-legged, was emitting a crimson light.

And the origin of all this is actually the sea of ​​consciousness.

At this moment, the Qianjie Pagoda, which had been silent for many years, suddenly made a slight "buzzing" sound.

Rays of light burst out from it, as if penetrating the barriers of time and space, and appeared in Lin Ye's perception.

“It’s a wonderful feeling, unprecedented!!”

With the silent assistance of the Thousand Tribulations Pagoda, Lin Ye quickly analyzed it in his mind, starting from the essence of the secret technique.

Everything...gradually unfolded in his mind.

……

at the same time.

When Lin Ye created the secret technique, another secret place in Qiankun Wu Universe

An underground base located on a remote planet. A group of strange-looking humans are collecting information about it.

"Sir, the information has been encrypted and recoded 999 times and transmitted through the virtual universe network. This is all the information our people can collect about Lin Ye."

Said a man with eight legs and eight arms, wearing a skeleton uniform and a face full of compound eyes.

"Oh, I see."

The other man with compound eyes nodded, then picked up a pile of information and started reading.

"Buzz buzz!!"

Scanning lasers emanated from his compound eyes, quickly memorizing all the information.

Above.

All of them are information about Lin Ye.

After looking at it for a long time, he said solemnly, "There's news from headquarters that the original No. 1 position has been moved to second place, and the top spot has been replaced by Lin Ye."

"But we can't act for now. There is too little intelligence on No. 1. It is said that he has immortal guards. Killing him is comparable to killing a Marquis Immortal, so it will cost too much."

"In addition, our intelligence personnel suspect that there is a powerful master of the Universe behind Lin Ye, but this is just a suspicion and there is no basis for it."

Of course, the fact that Lin Ye was the disciple of Venerable Fenchen was only circulated within the Virtual Universe Company.

The only people who knew the news were those from the Huanling Palace.

The rest are all high-level or core members of the human race, so they naturally would not do such things to betray the human race.

"..."

After these words were spoken, all the staff at the base looked at each other in surprise.

No one knows what to say now.

"But... this doesn't mean we can't do these tasks. The targets are too advanced and dangerous. Even if we try our best, we can't kill them successfully. We are not 100% sure, so..."

Having said that, a cruel and hideous smile flashed across the face of the man with compound eyes.

He glanced around and said coldly, "I will keep track of his information and report it to the headquarters of another universe country, and have the adults there arrange a large hunt."

"A large-scale hunt... wouldn't it involve the intervention of several kings!?"

A staff member asked cautiously, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

You have to know that the authority of their base is only at the level of an immortal god.

As for the higher-level headquarters, they possess authority close to that of the Lord of the Universe.

However, such a headquarters is extremely precious, and each one is extremely important to their alien race.

The entire human territory only adds up to a handful of people.

"Let the adults worry about these things. A newly emerged No. 1 should have a much higher status than a king-level immortal like the Seven Sword Kings."

"What's more... he also has an extremely mysterious and powerful master, whose value far exceeds that of an ordinary genius."

"Sir, if you successfully kill such a super genius, the reward you get should be very, very large, right?"

A staff member asked.

"Of course. The reward resources can easily allow all of you present to be promoted to the realm master level."

The man who looked like a leader spoke, and his voice seemed to have magic, lingering in everyone's ears.

"Wow! Realm Master Level!!"

"Great, I'm just in need of the wealth to become a Realm Lord."

"Get lost! How dare you, a mere cosmic-level person, claim to be a world master? You should first be promoted to a domain master."

"..."

Upon hearing this exciting reward, the quiet underground base suddenly became bustling with cheers.

As members of this mysterious organization, they are usually very quiet.

But now the leader's words were like a bombshell dropped on the calm lake.

The entire base could not calm down for a long time.

"So you must fight for it, not only for me, but also for yourselves."

"Yes, sir!" many staff members said in unison, looking extremely respectful.

"Now, I order the 1th, th and th teams, which are closest to the Earth, to explore the Earth, the hometown of NO. The other teams that are farther away, provide support." The man with compound eyes in the bone uniform gave the order.

Even when he faced a hunting genius of this level, he couldn't help but get excited.

the reason is simple.

By cooperating in completing such a hunt for a genius, the position under his butt could also be moved upwards.

"Yes, we will make arrangements right away."

Several subordinates in uniform answered respectfully.

……

Soon, a seemingly ordinary C-class silver butterfly-shaped spaceship passed through the dark universe and arrived at the area corresponding to the Milky Way.

And maintain a certain speed in flying.

A group of people were discussing something in the cabin.

I don't know.

Their tracks have passed through the galactic defense system and appeared at Earth's headquarters and major galactic defense branches.

One of the branch bases was activated directly.

"Ding, a spaceship that does not belong to the Black Dragon Mountain star field has been detected, C3 level, determined to be an enemy!"

Guardians of the Galaxy, on Jupiter base.

A shrill alarm sounded in a control room somewhere.

"Since they are considered enemies, let's activate the Star Destroyer Cannon and kill them."

Ma Qingfeng, who was wearing shorts and COSing a pool party, said with a vicious look on his face.

"Twelfth Speaker, are you really not going to confirm your identity again?"

Behind Ma Qingfeng, Nuo Lanshan, who was already a seventh-level domain lord, asked.

"No need to confirm. Any strange spacecraft that enters the Milky Way without prior notice will be treated as an enemy."

Ma Qingfeng's answer was straightforward and sharp, and the murderous and domineering nature in his words was clearly revealed.

Finally, he looked at a domain master and many cosmic-level guards behind him and said, "I didn't say that. Lin Ye left that message before he left."

"But even if we kill a thousand by mistake, we can't let even one go!"

"..."

After a brief silence, Nuo Lanshan replied respectfully: "Yes, sir."

Almost the next moment.

A thick black beam of light pierced through the universe and came rapidly from an inconspicuous meteorite in the distance.

The powerful energy of Yuedong flowed on this beam of light and hit the spacecraft with incredible precision.

"What's going on!?" The expressions of the people in the cabin who were watching the simulated exterior scene suddenly changed, and their pupils contracted violently.

However, their expressions also froze at this moment.

"Crack!"

The column of light that seemed to be brewing the power of destruction smashed heavily on the spaceship like a hammer of Thor.

In an instant, the C-class spacecraft fell apart and its fragments scattered throughout the starry sky.

The passengers were also turned into pieces by the powerful energy fluctuations.

"Everyone, collect the wreckage of the spacecraft."

At Ma Qingfeng's command, the action team immediately began to move out.

"in addition!"

He emphasized: "The seven fleets will begin patrolling the entire galaxy. Remember not to let go of any suspicious aliens."

"Furthermore, activate the E-level galactic defense technology to be ready for anything that might happen and ensure that there is no threat to Earth."

"..."

Orders were issued from this planet in an orderly manner.

Almost at the same time, the entire Milky Way became lively. (End of this chapter)
