Devouring the Star: Age of Cataclysm

An incomparably gigantic white bone figure suddenly appeared in the sky above the royal capital. It was none other than the Skull Peak Ghost King, a newly recruited Divine King of the first level by the Lord of Tiankun State.

His entire body was made up of white bones, and the inky color made people feel extremely poisonous at a glance, as if being pricked by a needle.

Especially in those two deep eye sockets, there were bursts of red flames, which was extremely creepy!

"In order to help the king solve this problem, I, Old Ghost, decided to take action myself and catch and kill him!"

The Lord of Tiankun nodded gently: "Let's go now to avoid any more trouble!"

……

The next day.

"Boom!!!"

A long sword filled with terrifying power cut a long and narrow gap in the space, which was rapidly magnified in the ghost-like eyes of the Skull Peak Ghost King, instantly occupying the entire field of vision.

Just by feeling this knife, the Skull Peak Ghost King couldn't help but feel despair.

How could I possibly... encounter such a terrifying Chaos Realm expert?

"Crack!!"

His body was instantly cut in half from head to toe like a block of tofu, and turned into two immortal bodies that were struggling to converge in the distance. Their bodies were still wrapped in the corrosive aura of the Falling Star Blade, causing the Skull Peak Ghost King to look at Lin Ye again with eyes filled with indescribable awe and caution.

the reason is simple.

This guy is so scary!

Lin Ye slowly put away his sword and looked at the Skull Peak Ghost King in the distance, whose face was filled with extreme vigilance. He gently stroked the blade, feeling the terrifying and powerful force hidden in it, and said with a disdainful look, "With such power, you still dare to brag in front of me?"

“You… you are simply a devil!! How could a Chaos Realm person possess such strength that is at least at the peak of the second level of the Divine King Realm!!!” The Ghost King of Skull Peak looked at Lin Ye with fear on his face, his voice trembling like a chrysanthemum: “Absolutely impossible! I, the Ghost King of Skull Peak, have roamed this Origin Continent for endless years, but have never encountered a super being like you!”

"Okay, now that you've seen it, you can rest assured to die!" Lin Ye looked expressionlessly at the God King who was as nervous as a quail, and said with a smile: "In the future... don't join a camp casually, especially a wrong camp."

“Wait! You can’t kill me!!” Seeing that Lin Ye was determined to kill him, he said in a panic, “I can be your subordinate and help you do many things. Now that you are still in the battle stage, you definitely don’t want to lose an excellent lackey like me!!”

Morosa: “…”

Luo Feng: "..."

Original Ancestor: “…”

A God King actually claimed in front of Lin Ye that he could be a lackey. This simply shocked Luo Feng and the others. They felt that their three perspectives were shattered. The God King power that they had built up with great difficulty was directly shattered.

"You think you're my lackey? No way... You're a high and mighty God King, and I'm just a weak Chaos Realm warrior. Isn't this an insult to your status?" Lin Ye looked at the Skull Peak Ghost King. "Besides, I already have so many friends now. One more or one less shouldn't be a big problem."

“…” The Ghost King of Skull Peak felt his scalp tingle when he heard the fatal tone in Lin Ye’s words. His skinny head shook like a rattle and he quickly said, “No, no, no!! I can do everything they can do, and I can do it better than them! Believe me!”

"Hmm?" Lin Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, and he didn't seem to be shaken at all.

"You must believe me, I can even be your vanguard to attack the Kingdom of the Food King!!" The Skull Peak Ghost King continued, worried that the invincible Chaos Realm before him would kill him.

"Be a vanguard?" Lin Ye once again looked at the Skull Peak Ghost King, looking at the blood-red light above his head, and said with a smile: "You are too weak to be my vanguard. What's more, the Lord of Tiankun is your old master. Isn't it unreasonable for you to betray him like this?"

"..." The Ghost King of Skull Peak was once again choked by Lin Ye's words and was speechless, but for the sake of his immediate survival, he finally decided to kowtow: "I beg you to accept me, my lord. I will be your best assistant."

The red light became increasingly intense, and Lin Ye's eyes suddenly darkened.

"This duplicity guy is simply asking for death!!"

The aura on his body suddenly became fierce. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the cunning old man, thinking in his heart that this was just an excuse for him to stay alive.

Once out of this dangerous situation, I'm afraid he will turn against me directly, making me very uncomfortable.

However, when Lin Ye changed his mind, he smiled slightly and asked, "Since you want to be my subordinate, you should show your loyalty, such as introducing some of the defenses and powerful forces of the Food Kingdom."

“No problem!!” The Skull Peak God King nodded like a chick pecking at rice and agreed very quickly.

"God King Skull Peak, why don't you show your value quickly, otherwise when our Highness becomes unhappy, he will kill you instantly!" Morosa on the side looked at the God King Skull Peak and shouted loudly.

"..." Skull Peak God King glanced at Morosa and didn't care about what he said.

He submitted to the King of Thousand Tribulations, not to other small fish and shrimps.

however--

Just as the Skull Peak God King's gaze swept across Luo Feng in the crowd, it suddenly paused. He felt a faint sense of threat from the latter.

The sense of threat without any reason made God King Skull Peak a little unbelievable. He couldn't help but take a deep look at this harmless Chaos Realm strongman, who could actually pose a life threat to him, a veteran God King of the First Level.

This result is really hard to accept.

“Your Highness Qianjie, please accept me as your follower.” Facing Lin Ye, the God King Skull Peak half-knelt on the ground with an extremely respectful look.

"Followers?"

Lin Ye chuckled, his eyes shining brightly: "It depends on your performance. If you perform well, you can choose to follow me and strive for a higher realm. Otherwise..."

As he spoke, the smile on his face suddenly turned hideous and terrifying, and he raised his hand and made a gesture of wiping his neck: "This is the end."

"Hiss."

Feeling the sharpness and decisiveness in Lin Ye's words and actions, even the God King Skull Peak couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and nodded repeatedly: "I, Skull Peak, will definitely not let your Highness down." "Well, very good."

Lin Ye nodded, and his heart suddenly moved. He was looking forward to the scene of a dog-eat-dog fight between the Skull Peak God King and the King of Food Kingdom.

"Your Highness Jiang Xi, with my current strength compared to that King Tiankun of the Food Kingdom, how confident are I of winning?" For no reason, Lin Ye communicated directly with the red-haired girl who was on vacation somewhere in the Thousand Tribulations Pagoda and asked his question.

"Why would you compete with that second-level Divine King? Even if you don't use the power of the Thousand Tribulations Pagoda, you can still defeat this guy. However, the power of a second-level Divine King is far from being comparable to that of the first-level Divine King you have subdued."

"The divine power is indeed true."

Lin Ye nodded secretly in his heart, agreeing with what His Highness Jiang Xi said.

“But young master, once you use the Thousand Tribulations Pagoda… I’m afraid that not only will many old monsters in the Origin Continent be alarmed, but even the world masters of the nearest Origin Worlds around the continent will take notice of this place, so you must be careful.”

The red-haired girl put down the unknown juice in her hand and solemnly sent a message to Lin Ye, reminding him again.

"Will the Lord of the World also notice my Thousand Tribulations Pagoda? Then I know."

Lin Ye suddenly realized.

As early as when he accepted the inheritance of the great gods in the Thousand Tribulations Pagoda, he knew a lot of memories beyond the Origin Continent, and therefore had a better understanding of this mysterious place.

For example, the existence above the realm of God King... is the Hunyuan life that jumps out of the cage, the strong man at the level of World Lord, and the last existence standing at the pinnacle of practitioners - the Hunyuan Lord.

"It's still early, young master, don't think too much now, otherwise it will only affect your practice."

As if noticing the change in Lin Ye's mood, the red-haired girl hurriedly reminded him and stopped him from going down.

"I see. Thank you for your reminder, Your Highness." Lin Ye smiled and continued, "With your words, I feel very good now."

"In this continent, you can do anything within your ability and strength." The red-haired girl added at the end.

"In that case, I won't be polite." Lin Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, and many thoughts suddenly emerged in his mind.

In this continent of origin dominated by the two ancient nations of Flame Wind and Thunder, if you want to grow better, you need to join at least one of them. Only then can you obtain as many resources as possible with a strong backer, and finally grow quickly.

“As for the ancient country of Yanfeng… there are several powerful people from the royal family here. As long as I perform well enough, it will not be a problem for me to enter this ancient country.” Lin Ye immediately had an idea in his mind and had a general grasp of the future path.

"God King Skull Peak, let me ask you a few questions now." Lin Ye asked, "I heard that your country of food has five powerful God Kings. Who are the other four besides you?"

"You are wrong, Your Highness. It is not 'our Food Kingdom', but 'their Food Kingdom'..." As he spoke, the Skull Peak God King looked down at the city below and said in fear and trepidation, "Your Highness, the strongest in the Food Kingdom are 'Lord of the Tiankun Kingdom', 'Ancestor Wuxiang', and 'Ancestor of the Sword Demon'. These three are all powerful God Kings of the second level. There is also a God King of the first level who is not worth mentioning, so I won't mention his name."

"Who is the most powerful among the three God Kings of the second realm?" Lin Ye continued to ask.

“Of course it’s the Lord of Tiankun Kingdom. His strength has already reached the peak of the second level of God King. It’s extremely terrifying.” God King Skull Peak said, his words full of the natural desire to sell out his master for fame and fortune.

"Also, in the capital cities of the Food Kingdom, there are extremely powerful divine king-level treasures, as well as some extremely powerful mechanical treasures and defenses such as formations..."

Almost like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube, the Skull Peak God King told everything he knew in detail. Lin Ye was somewhat satisfied after hearing it, and couldn't help but look up to this powerful man.

As a powerful God King who has surrendered to the Lord of the Food Kingdom, he, the God King of Skull Peak, has always put interests and life above all else. He has no eternal allies or masters, only eternal interests.

Therefore, after seeing that he was no match for Lin Ye and his life was in danger, he immediately chose to surrender to Lin Ye instead of continuing to fight to the end.

At the side, Luo Feng was also listening quietly to the words of the Skull Peak God King. The shock in his heart was difficult to describe in words.

In the memory soul crystal left by Zuo Shanke, he had long known the strength of the three rulers of the Food Kingdom. At the beginning, they were only strong men at the first level of the Divine King realm.

And after such a long time, they have all become God Kings of the second level, and the strongest among them, the Lord of Tiankun, has reached the peak of the second level of God King. He is only one step away from entering the third level and becoming one of the top powers in the Origin Continent.

This inevitably extinguished Luo Feng's desire for revenge.

But soon, when he looked at Lin Ye, who was still calm and composed, the worry in his heart disappeared in an instant.

How could he be so timid when he had Lin Ye, a teacher with great strength and talent, by his side?

Just as he was thinking, a gaze came from not far away. Luo Feng looked up and met Lin Ye's eyes that were as bright as stars. The latter nodded slightly, as if to express his approval of Luo Feng.

"In addition to the information you mentioned above, is there any other important information?" Lin Ye continued to ask.

"Basically there is no key information." The God King of Skull Peak shook his head. This time he really regretted volunteering to come and kill Lin Ye.

The difference in strength between the two of them was so huge that the opponent only used a casual move to directly defeat this powerful Divine King of the first level, forcing him to beg for mercy.

"Very good, then you lead a team and take down twenty cities for us first." Lin Ye looked at the Skull Peak God King and said bluntly: "Twenty cities are your token of loyalty. After the twenty cities, you can take one-fifth of the spoils as a reward, which is your hard work fee."

"Is that good?"

"What? Take one-fifth as my hard...hardship fee?" Upon hearing this, the Skull Peak God King was a little stunned.

He agreed to join Lin Ye's team just to save his life, and he never expected that the other party would be willing to give him some opportunities to gain benefits.

As soon as he thought of this, all the unrealistic thoughts in his mind quickly disappeared.

"Thank you, Your Highness. I will definitely live up to your trust and inflict heavy damage on the Food Kingdom and capture as many of its cities as possible for Your Highness." Having said this, the Skull Peak God King clasped his fists and bowed, expressing his awe from the bottom of his heart.

"No need to say more, it's useless to say anything!" Lin Ye looked deeply at the Skull Peak God King and said, "What I want to see is your performance."

"Absolutely no problem!" Skull Peak God King replied solemnly.

It's just a robbery, he's good at it! (End of this chapter)
