Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 216 The strong wind rises
On the original star number 03296, above the boundless ancient forest, Qi Yuan was flying at a speed close to the speed of light.

While flying, he was constantly observing and perceiving, trying to discover some of the deeper secrets of the primordial star.

With the return system at his disposal, he doesn't need to spend too much effort acquiring external resources. What he truly lacks is the acquisition and comprehension of higher-level cultivation knowledge.

The primordial origin of the universe is the manifestation of the fundamental Tao of life, possessing endless mysteries.

However, Qi Yuan's level is still too low, and he is not yet able to access such profound Dao.

However, as the place closest to the origin of the original universe, the primordial star is considered a relatively profound manifestation of the operating rules of the original universe.

If he could discover even a little bit of the secrets of this primordial star, it might benefit him immensely.

"The matter of the primordial star can block all penetration and probing, making it impossible to see its internal structure. It's unlikely that we'll gain much by simply observing its superficial appearance."

As Qi Yuan flew, he also pondered in secret.
"The Primordial Stars are the closest to the origin of the universe. Could these 10081 Primordial Stars be distributed around the origin of the universe? However, these 10081 Primordial Stars are only connected to the outside world by vortex channels, and their own spacetime locations cannot be clearly detected."

Just as he was pondering this, suddenly—

"Boom~~~"

The world is silent!
An endless pressure instantly enveloped the entire Primal Star, and the spacetime of the entire Primal Star was instantly completely controlled!
"Controlling space and time, a cosmic ruler has descended?"

As Qi Yuan flew, he felt his body freeze, and the surrounding space and time seemed to be creating a subtle obstacle for him.

"Coming for me? Heh, so you've finally made a move?"

He smiled faintly, and a vast aura emanated from him, instantly spreading outwards.

"Boom~~~"

The two powerful forces collided continuously, causing some disorder in the spacetime of the entire primordial star. They influenced each other, making it impossible for either side to control spacetime.

"Haha, Master of the Human Race's Strange Fate Pavilion, I heard from that Blood Soul that you have the special ability to control time and space, and it is indeed true."

A deep laugh echoed through the collision of time and space.

"As expected, the Demon Ancestor's worries were justified. With this ability, as long as your divine body and secret techniques are even slightly stronger, you will be no different from a true universe lord. This is a greater threat than several top universe overlords combined. It is time to eliminate you as soon as possible!"

"From the demon race?"

Qi Yuan clashed with his opponent using his manipulation of space and time, and his voice echoed out, "I wonder which universe lord has arrived?"

"Demon race, Lord of Blood and Ashes!" A deep voice echoed.

"The Lord of Blood and Ashes?"

Qi Yuan laughed heartily, "Haha, you think you can eliminate me? You're not qualified!"

He completely ignored the Lord of Blood and flew towards the nearest vortex passage.

A Blood Lord is merely an ordinary second-tier universe lord, only slightly stronger in close combat; he's not worth revealing his full strength to.

"Whether you're qualified or not, you'll soon find out, but it's too late for you to leave now!" The roar of the Blood Lord echoed.

Immediately afterwards——

Wow~~~
An endless expanse of black seawater instantly spread, covering oceans, forests, deserts, swamps, wastelands... almost instantly, the entire surface of the primordial star was shrouded in a vast black ocean!

On the original star, all the powerful beings, including Qi Yuan, as well as the various cosmic venerables who were searching for treasures and adventuring on this original star, were all submerged.

The incredibly terrifying binding power contained within the black ocean was simply unbelievable, instantly causing the cosmic venerables who had ventured onto the primordial star to panic.

"Ah, what's going on? This seawater is a treasure domain! Whose treasure domain is this?!"

"That was the control of spacetime! A cosmic ruler has descended upon this primordial star, and there's more than one!"

"What's going on? I haven't sensed any powerful treasure being born."

"Hurry up and leave! The great war between the Lords of the Universe is about to break out. If you don't want to die, get away from this primordial planet!"

"Yes, yes, let's go!"

Some cosmic venerables and cosmic overlords from other forces such as the Ancestral God Cult, the Northern Frontier Alliance, and the Thorn Ring Alliance were flying rapidly toward the nearest vortex passage.

The black ocean did not hinder them in any way, allowing them to depart on their own.

"Fushanhai, the Lord of Tongling from the Demon Alliance has also arrived?"

Qi Yuan smiled.

"You can still laugh? You've got some guts."

A deafening sound erupted from the surrounding black seawater.

In the far distance of the black sea, an incomparably majestic figure, approximately a million kilometers tall, was rapidly approaching Qi Yuan's direction.

The massive mountain range has eight pillar-like hooves on its body, as well as four thick, long arms, and a huge eye in the very center of its body.

The Lord of Tongling is a special life form born at the dawn of the universe. Having originated as a special life form and cultivated to the level of a universe lord, the Lord of Tongling's strength is naturally considerable!
Although he did not create the strongest secret technique of the universe master and can only be considered a third-order universe master, his enormous divine body, which reaches a million kilometers in length, and the top-level domain treasure, Floating Mountain and Sea, are enough to make him an extremely troublesome existence among third-order universe masters!

The Demon Clan Alliance had spent countless resources to recruit him when he was still a Universe Venerable.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The Lord of Tongling let out a deafening laugh, which shook the endless ocean.
"Are you still thinking of running away? Don't dream about it. There are more than just the two of us coming this time!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
With his laughter, one after another incredibly powerful aura descended from all directions of this primordial star, the terrifying aura causing the surrounding black seawater to ripple continuously.

The other cosmic lords from the Demon Race, the Insect Race, and the Mechanical Zone also descended instantly through the vortex channel of the Primal Star!
They had waited a long time to find an opportunity that would ensure Qi Yuan was firmly trapped on the Primal Star!
"Everyone, this is the exact location of the Human Race's Master of the Strange Fate Pavilion. My Floating Mountain and Sea Society will assist you." The voice of the Lord of Tongling echoed continuously through the black seawater domain.

"These auras, along with the Blood Ember Lord and the Tongling Lord, make a total of nine Universe Lords here. Heh, the Chaos City Lord is right, these alien races really take me seriously!"

In the black seawater, Qi Yuan's expression remained quite calm.

He flipped his hand and took out a palm-sized emerald green flying boat. With just one activation, the entire emerald green flying boat instantly expanded to a length of over a hundred kilometers.

Qi Yuan stepped into the flying boat, then maneuvered it to break through the layers of black seawater and sped forward in one direction.

The emerald green flying boat is named "Flying Cloud Divine Boat". It was also given to a disciple and returned. Its quality has reached the level of a top-tier treasure. It is a true "top-tier flying palace-type treasure". In addition to the super strong protection of the palace type itself, its greatest feature is "speed"!
It accelerates quickly, changes direction quickly, and is incredibly agile!

"Nine Universe Lords—if I can capture them all, it will be worth revealing my strength. However, they are currently scattered in various directions, so I need to find a way to gather them together."

hiss hiss hiss~~~
The Flying Cloud Divine Ship accelerated continuously, seemingly heading towards a vortex passage.

Upon seeing this, the Lord of Tongling immediately manipulated the floating mountain sea to block the way.

woohoo~~~
The black seawater, which had been concealing its power, suddenly surged with power, like waves composed of neutron star 'droplets' crashing against the Flying Cloud Divine Ship, attempting to slow its progress.

However, despite the bombardment and obstruction of the seawater, the impact on the Flying Cloud Divine Ship was extremely minimal.

"How can this flying boat travel so fast in my Floating Mountain Sea?"

The Lord of Tongling's voice held a hint of annoyance.

"Everyone, pay attention! The Lord of Qiyuan Tower possesses an extremely powerful flying palace treasure, at least at the top-tier treasure level. Right now, he is flying towards the passage leading to Primordial Star 02354!" The Lord of Tongling reminded the other universe lords.

"Don't worry, I'm not far from there. I'll head over now. Hmph, I'm carrying the 'Ice Emperor's Palace' bestowed by the Empress this time. It's fine if that Master of the Mysterious Fate Pavilion is hiding in the palace's treasures; it'll be perfect for me to suppress him directly!"

An extremely sinister voice rang out from a certain direction in the black ocean.

"Haha, with the Lord of Forbidden Waves making a move, that human has no chance of escaping!"

"Lord of Forbidden Waves, please delay us. We must hurry there!"

The other cosmic lords responded.

Virtual universe, Thunder Island.

Beside the white jade table outside the palace of the Chaos City Lord.

"These alien races have finally lost their patience!"

The Chaos City Lord, dressed in a golden robe, spoke with a faint smile.

The Lord of Dragons turned his head and said, "Chaos, I'd better head over there now. There are nine Universe Lords from the Demon Race, the Insect Race, and the Mechanical Race attacking at the same time. Each of them may be carrying treasures bestowed by the strongest beings in their respective universes. I'm afraid Qiyuan alone will not be able to handle it."

"No rush. His strength is far greater than we imagine," the Chaos City Lord said calmly, shaking his head.

"But that's the combined strength of nine Universe Lords, and we don't even know if any other Universe Lords will continue on their way," the Dragon Lord said worriedly.

"Lord of Dragons, rest assured, those alien universe lords can't do anything to me."

Qi Yuan smiled confidently, "However, they are not close to me and are quite scattered. I will try my best to lead them to gather in the same area. At that time, the Dragon Lord and the others only need to cooperate to block the nearby vortex passages and cut off their retreat."

“Chaos.” The Lord of Dragons subconsciously looked at the Lord of Chaos City.

However, the Lord of Chaos City nodded and said, "Let's proceed according to Qi Yuan's plan."

"Okay, you guys make the plan, I'll take care of the work!"

The Lord of Dragons laughed heartily, "Opportunities like this, which can incite the three major races to attack simultaneously, are rare. This time, let's give those three races a real beating!"

"Even without this, the relationship between our human race and the three major races would have long been one of irreconcilable enmity. If we can kill a few of their universe lords this time, the benefits will be immense."

The Lord of Chaos City looked at Qi Yuan as he spoke, "After this incident, those three races will probably really hate you."

Qi Yuan remained calm upon hearing this: "Heh, I'll wait for them to come looking for revenge."

While Qi Yuan and the Lord of Chaos City were strategizing, as the cosmic lords of various forces on the original star where Qi Yuan's main body was located continued to withdraw, the scene of nine cosmic lords of the demon race, insect race, and mechanical race joining forces against the human race's Qiyuan Tower Master also spread rapidly.

Such a massive operation, gathering nine cosmic lords, was bound to attract attention.

All the major powers in the primordial universe were casting extremely concerned glances toward Qi Yuan's location.
