Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 239 Take action
"Human Race!"

As soon as Qi Yuan spoke, the eyes of all the universe lords present, including the founder of the Black Universe, instantly converged on him!

"What are humans doing? Are they going to offend the strongest being in the universe for a rare artifact?"

"While the artifact is valuable, it's not worth falling out with the strongest lone traveler in the universe for it, is it?"

All the lords of the universe harbored doubts.

In the void, the golden flames beneath the black divine armor rippled slightly, and the voice of the Black Universe Founder echoed:

"Human. Master of the Wonderful Pavilion? You humans want to compete with me for this wondrous item?"

“Originator of the Black Universe, our human race lacks treasures of the highest level, so we are very eager for this rare item. I'm afraid we can't just hand it over,” Qi Yuan said calmly.

"With such confidence, is the giant axe on its way?" The Black Universe Founder's enormous pupils, formed from golden flames, stared intently in Qi Yuan's direction.

He also looked at the other universe lords one by one.

The presence of the Black Universe Founder is already severely restricting their actions; if the Human Race's Giant Axe Founder were to arrive, the chances for these Universe Lords to exert their influence in this struggle would be extremely limited!
"The giant axe is still within the human territory. Only Luo Feng and I from the human race have come on this trip." Qi Yuan smiled and shook his head.

In fact, the creator of the giant axe originally intended to give up this wondrous object.

However, Qi Yuan was extremely eager for this primordial substance from the Origin Continent and was unwilling to easily give up this treasure that was right in front of him, which is why he strongly advocated for taking action to compete for it.

Giant Axe eventually agreed to his decision, and he himself was prepared to use Qi Yuan's soul servant's divine kingdom teleportation to rush to the battlefield to provide support at any time.

However, Qi Yuan naturally wouldn't say any of this.

Upon hearing Qi Yuan say that the Giant Axe Founder had not arrived, the Black Universe Founder and the other original Universe Lords finally relaxed somewhat.

And the Flame Emperor of the Nine Domains Alliance went even further, directly mocking:
"Without the giant axe, you two universe lords think you can provoke Senior Black Universe? Heh, humanity is as arrogant as ever!"

"Emperor Yan?"

Qi Yuan's gaze calmly swept over Yan Di, "You want to try fighting me?"

"Do you think I'm afraid of you?!" Emperor Yan swung his enormous Yan Divine Halberd, striking a provocative pose.

"Emperor Yan! Don't cause any unnecessary trouble!"

The Lord of Juefeng, who was also from the Nine Domains Alliance, shouted and stood directly in front of Emperor Yan.

"Master Qiyuan, we have come here only for the Lord of Yuan'ao and the strange objects in his possession. We have no intention of clashing with the human race," Lord Juefeng explained to Qiyuan.

"Hehe, Lord Juefeng is right. Our human race has no intention of being enemies with the Nine Domains Alliance."

Qi Yuan nodded to the Lord of Juefeng, but before turning his gaze away, he left behind a murmured remark.
"However, Lord Juefeng, this Yan Emperor of your Nine Domains Alliance is truly 'young and impetuous.' You must be careful that he doesn't bring trouble to the Nine Domains Alliance in the future."

"you"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yan flew into a rage and was about to attack without regard for anything else!

However, the Lord of Juefeng held him back tightly.

"Emperor Yan, important matters come first!" Lord Juefeng reminded him in a low voice.

Under his obstruction and reminder, the enraged Yan Emperor managed to suppress his anger for the time being.

"No wonder the Mountain Dweller looks down on this Yan Emperor. This guy is definitely a teddy bear type—he's bad at the game but loves to play, and he doesn't seem to be very bright either."

Qi Yuan sighed inwardly and withdrew his scrutinizing gaze.

This little incident eased the tension between Qi Yuan's side and the Black Universe Founder considerably.

The Black Universe Founder's fiery pupils looked at Qi Yuan, and its deep voice resounded directly:

"Since you humans also want to compete for that rare item, then let's rely on our own abilities."

"Alright, then let's each rely on our own abilities," Qi Yuan replied with a faint smile.

Seeing that the atmosphere between them had eased, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds seized the opportunity to speak:

"Everyone, now that we have reached an agreement, let's prepare to take action against Nagaki Okunobu."

"Yes, we've dragged this out long enough, it's time to take action!"

"It's time to deal with Lord Nagaki!"

One by one, the cosmic lords from various powerful forces voiced their agreement.

"In a moment, I will take control of the universe. With the help of your domain-type treasures, the chances of the Lord of Yuan'ao escaping will be even lower."

The Black Universe Founder said, "Of course, if he escapes beforehand and even I can't track him down, then we'll have to rely on the Ancestral God Sect. The Ancestral God Sect should be able to easily pinpoint the location of the Lord of Yuan'ao."

"Yes." The Lord of Jiuyou nodded.

It's not about determining the master of the inner palace, but rather about determining the 'strange object'.

Before the Lord of Yuan'ao took out the Black Divine Wood, the Ancestral God Sect discovered that there was something wrong with this area and sent Luo Feng. As soon as the Lord of Yuan'ao took out the Black Divine Wood, he was immediately locked on!

Yuan Mysterious Realm.

One after another towering figures, some reptilian, some rocky, some flesh-and-blood, some powerful masters of the universe appeared out of thin air about 12 light years away from the 10 continents.

Leading the group was a golden flame giant that emanated endless pressure and forced the fundamental laws of the universe to retreat.

“Let’s go there,” said the founder of the Black Universe.

Wow!
A group of towering figures appeared out of thin air in the void outside the Mogao Continent, at an extremely close distance.

"Lock!" the Black Universe Founder declared.

Boom!

With the Black Universe Founder as the radius, the space within a range of 100 light-years was instantly completely sealed off, and the spatial constraint immediately increased!
"I have located the Lord of That Cavern, you may proceed," said the Founder of the Black Universe. "Endless Light Domain!"

The 'Golden Horn Lord' of the Starry Sky Beast Alliance stood in the void, his enormous wings spread wide—

At the same time, an endless field of light with a radius of about 80 light-years appeared out of thin air centered on it. The dazzling white light made the void incredibly bright and dazzling, and every powerful person present could feel the power contained in the light.

"Boom~~~"

Suddenly, a towering figure burst forth from the magnificent, floating continent.

He was holding a huge black divine tree in his hand. As he looked up at the crowd, he roared angrily, "I never expected that you would all join forces for a rare item. You are supposed to be a super power in the primordial universe, and you even have the strongest being in the universe!"

"I'm not afraid of fighting alone."

"But since you've joined forces, don't blame me for running away."

The Lord of the Cave roared, and simultaneously stomped down—

Boom~~~
The enormous foot stomped on the void, instantly shattering the surrounding hundreds of thousands of kilometers of space. The space itself was broken into streams of particles that directly entered the interlayer of space.

Within the spatial interlayer, there are endless fragments of space.

With a roar, Lord Yuan Ao, wielding the black divine wood, directly entered the spatial interlayer.

however--

The light from the 'Endless Light Domain' also entered that spatial interlayer.

"go!"

The golden flame giant took a step, and the void cracked open as he entered.

"Lord of Yuan'ao, you also want to escape?" Yan Di roared and suddenly tore open his right hand, the claw-like right hand directly creating a huge crack in the void, and stepped directly in.

"Let's go in too."

Qi Yuan gave Luo Feng a reminder, and then the two of them transformed into silver sword light and golden saber light respectively, tearing through the void and quickly entering the spatial interlayer.

One by one, the rulers of the universe, some with overwhelming power, others with ease, entered the spatial interlayer.

……

The deeper you go into the spatial interlayer, the more exaggerated the spatial torrent becomes. In many places deep inside, even cosmic venerables are annihilated by the massive spatial fragments.

however--

Whether it was the fleeing Lord of Yuan'ao, or the Black Universe Founder and numerous Universe Lords chasing after them, they were all far stronger than the Universe Venerables. They were not afraid of these spatial fragments at all.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

One by one, they rushed at supersonic speed into the depths of the space interlayer.

"Roar~~"

The Golden Horned Lord flapped its enormous scaled wings wildly, flying through the air and crashing directly into one huge spatial fragment after another, causing the spatial fragments to collapse and shatter. These spatial fragments were as fragile as water droplets, unable to stop it in the slightest.

Luo Feng also transformed into a golden light.

He had the power to kill Wu, and his speed was terrifying.

Qi Yuan, on the other hand, simply took a few steps, yet his speed was in no way inferior to theirs.

Among the powerful pursuers, the Black Universe Founder was naturally the fastest, while the other universe lords were either faster or slower.

Without a doubt, their speed was far faster than that of the 'Lord of the Cave'!

Firstly, the Lord of Yuan'ao is bound by a supreme treasure of the peak domain type.

Secondly, it is also constrained by the control of space by the founder of the Black Universe.

The two pressures were causing the Lord of Yuan'ao to move at an absurdly slow speed, clearly indicating that they were being rapidly pursued from behind.

"Finally the chase is coming."

The Lord of Yuan'ao appeared angry, but inwardly he was expectant. "I've been planning for so long, waiting for all these forces to arrive. Now they've all finally come. However, the appearance of the Black Universe Founder is unexpected... Even with the Black Universe Founder here, it won't affect the plan. Come on."

"You, as super-powerful beings from various major forces in the primordial universe, have actually disregarded your dignity and attacked me in a coordinated attack! How utterly shameless!!!"

As the Lord of the Cave escaped, he roared angrily at the rear.

"In a one-on-one fight, none of you can do anything to me."

"You actually joined forces to attack me for this sacred tree. Your shamelessness truly shocks me."

Lord Yuan Ao rampaged through the endless spatial waves, smashing through massive, high-speed spatial fragments as he roared and screamed, venting his fury.

However, no matter how angry they were, the Black Universe Founder's control over a spacetime and the Golden Horn Lord's supreme domain-type treasure, 'Endless Light Domain', proved too much to bear.

The combination of the two caused the Lord of the Cave to move very slowly.

The founders of the Black Universe and the cosmic lords of the nine major powers are rapidly approaching from behind.

"Go ahead and curse! Curse now, or you'll be doomed!"

"Pathetic fellow."

"Who can be blamed? He was a loner; how could he know that strange objects couldn't be brought into the primordial universe? Once he recognized a master for it and brought it into the primordial universe, this outcome was inevitable."

The cosmic lords behind him either sneered or pitied him. Even Luo Feng shook his head inwardly, thinking that a cosmic lord who had risen rapidly since the birth of the universe was about to perish.
