Swallowing the Stars: Heart of the Martial God

Chapter 124 Chaos, why did you suddenly stop laughing?

Seeing that his attacks could not harm Ling Xuan, the Lord of Sinking Fire grew increasingly furious.

He roared suddenly, and the flames on his nine tentacles surged, enveloping his entire body and forming a huge ball of fire.

The sphere of fire continued to rotate, and the heat it emitted caused the surrounding rocks to begin to melt.

"Today I will show you the true power of the Lord of the Universe!" The Lord of Scorching Fire's voice came from the sphere of fire, tinged with madness.

The sphere of fire exploded violently, and the Lord of Sinking Fire grew larger once more. His body was covered with a thick layer of fire armor, and the giant hammer in his hand became even larger, with raging flames burning on its surface, as if it were about to ignite the entire primordial star.

He swung his giant hammer and launched an even more ferocious attack on Ling Xuan.

Wherever the giant hammer passed, the space was completely incinerated, forming a long, empty passage. Flames around the passage flickered, radiating a suffocating pressure.

Ling Xuan took a deep breath and raised his Breaking Illusion Blade Intent to its limit. He knew that this was the Lord of Sinking Fire's all-out attack, and he had to go all out.

The Heaven-Slaying Blade trembled slightly in his hand, as if sensing its master's determination, and the silver-white light on the blade grew stronger and stronger.

Although the Heaven-Slaying Blade is only a quasi-Emperor weapon, it is forged from the strongest and most precious materials, and the quasi-Emperor realm Dao inscribed on it is also of excellent quality, already at the level of a top-tier treasure, and is in no way inferior to the opponent's warhammer.

"Break through illusion!" This time, the blade light was more powerful than ever before, carrying an indomitable momentum, like a silver-white dragon charging towards the Lord of Sinking Fire's giant hammer.

The blade's edge collided with the giant hammer, producing no earth-shattering roar, only a deathly silence. Immediately afterwards, an invisible shockwave spread outwards from the point of impact.

Wherever it passed, the earth cracked and even distant canyons were leveled. The powerful figures who were nearby retreated immediately, otherwise the aftershocks of the battle would have destroyed most of them.

When the shockwave subsided, everyone saw that the Lord of Sinking Fire's giant hammer was slightly bent by the blade's light, and he himself had retreated tens of thousands of kilometers before regaining his footing, a look of pain on his face.

Ling Xuan was also shaken so badly that his blood and qi surged, and he retreated more than a thousand kilometers. As expected of a top-tier treasure armor, the Xuan Yin Armor had excellent defensive capabilities in battle, and Ling Xuan's imperial body did not shatter.

"Impossible, this is impossible!" The Lord of Sinking Fire stared at Ling Xuan, his face filled with disbelief. "Could it be that you have already broken through to the level of the Lord of the Universe?"

As the Lord of the Universe, the Lord of Sinking Fire could sense that the Venerable Void Blade did not have complete control over a spacetime like he did.

"So what if it is, and so what if it isn't?" Ling Xuan's tone remained calm, yet it carried a powerful confidence.

In this world, strength is the ultimate standard. As long as I have the combat power of a universe master, even if I am just a little short of breaking through, the other party will still regard me as a universe master.

The surrounding experts were once again stunned into silence. They began to discuss among themselves: "This is terrifying! The Lord of the Void Blade has just broken through and actually fought the Lord of the Sinking Flame to a draw!"

"Yes, the Lord of Sinking Fire is a veteran and great universe lord. It's incredible that the Lord of the Void Blade could achieve this. I'm afraid that in the near future, this universe will once again welcome a peak existence."

As the Lord of Sinking Fire listened to the surrounding discussions, his face turned pale and then red.

As a veteran ruler of the universe, he was unable to defeat a top-tier universe overlord after a prolonged battle, which caused him to lose face.

He stared intently at Ling Xuan, a complex expression flashing in his eyes—anger, resentment, yet...

"You...you are not a top-tier cosmic overlord!"

Suddenly, the Lord of Sinking Fire seemed to realize something. Pointing at Ling Xuan, he shouted, "You have broken through to become a Lord of the Universe! Only a Lord of the Universe can possess such power and withstand my attack!"

His words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, causing a huge uproar among the powerful figures around him.

Everyone looked at Ling Xuan, their eyes filled with shock and awe.

If even the Lord of Sinking Fire has confirmed it, then it means that the Lord of the Void Blade has indeed become a great cosmic lord.

Upon hearing this, Ling Xuan simply smiled faintly, neither admitting nor denying it. He knew that he had already won this battle, and no matter what the other party said, it wouldn't change that fact.

He looked at the Lord of Sinking Fire and said calmly, "Now, do you still think I have what you want?"

Looking at Ling Xuan's calm eyes, the Lord of Sinking Fire felt a sense of powerlessness.

He knew that he could no longer get anything from Venerable Void Blade today, and continuing to fight would only make things more embarrassing for him.

Fighting with burning divine power?

He was an ordinary life form with only a thousand times the genetic potential, while the other party was a special life form. Even though the divine body was relatively small, the energy-type life form's divine body was still much larger than his. If he truly burned his divine power, his other avatar was not here, and he would only bring shame upon himself.

They might even lose their most prized possessions.

He could only snort coldly, glare fiercely at Ling Xuan, then turn around, transform into a streak of light, and disappear into the horizon, leaving behind a single sentence.

"You are the Lord of the Universe, so you are naturally qualified to possess such a treasure." As the Lord of Sinking Fire departed, the surrounding powerful figures also dispersed.

As the Lord of Sinking Fire said, the other party is the Lord of the Universe and is qualified to possess a supreme treasure.

With the departure of these powerful beings, news of the birth of a new universe master spread like wildfire.

Every powerful individual has countless friends and their own power base and clan.

Virtual universe, Mount Pantheon, Temple of the Gods.

Inside the Pantheon, there was an enormous, exquisitely carved round table surrounded by a dense array of thrones.

Each throne is occupied by a powerful human.

Around the enormous round table, the densely packed thrones were divided into five levels.

2米宽、10米宽、50米宽、200米宽、1000米宽，而所有强者的神体也完全和椅子契合匹配。

And at the highest point...

On the majestic throne, the lords of the universe sat at the highest point, looking down on all other human powerhouses. They were the super beings from the five forces of the human race.

The highest meeting of the human race is being held here at this moment.

The Lord of Chaos City, as the most powerful cosmic ruler among the human race, is known for his fairness and always presides over the highest meetings.

"On the Primordial Star, Bingfeng obtained a top-grade, top-tier domain-level treasure." The Chaos City Lord's calm and powerful voice slowly echoed within the Pantheon, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

As a peak universe lord, the Ice Peak Lord's strength would greatly increase if he obtained a domain-type treasure that was extremely suitable for him.

The Lord of Chaos City continued, "This treasure is called 'Frost Spirit Realm,' which perfectly matches the style of the Lord of Ice Peak. Its main body is an ancient ice platform that exudes endless coldness. The ice platform is completely translucent and surrounded by cold air."

"If the main body alone is so extraordinary, there must be other components as well?" Lord of the Wilderness asked with burning eyes.

The Lord of Chaos City swept his gaze across the crowd, his expression solemn: "That's right, the 'Frost Spirit Realm' is composed of a main ice platform and seven ice shards. The Lord of Ice Peak was fortunate enough to obtain the main ice platform, as well as three of the ice shards."

"Once the entire ice platform and its main body are complete, its attack power is comparable to that of a top-tier treasure."

"Such powerful domain-level treasures, if we could gather them all, it would be a great fortune for our human race," a cosmic lord remarked.

As the pillar of a race, every increase in the strength of the Lord of the Universe is a blessing for the race.

"Hahaha." At this moment, the Giant Axe Founder, who had been sitting silently on one of the only two black thrones, suddenly burst into laughter.

"Giant Axe, is there some good news?" All the powerful humans present turned their gazes to this pillar of humanity.

As the only human in the universe and the strongest being, the Giant Axe Founder was carefree by nature and rarely spoke at the highest meetings. The Chaos City Lord usually presided over the meetings, and even the Giant Axe Arena was handed over to the Lord of Void Gold for management.

Once the other party speaks, it is the most important matter for the human race. It can be said that the reason why the human race is the top race is not because of the universe lords present, but simply because of the other party alone.

"This is indeed a joyous occasion." The founder of the giant axe was in a wonderful mood. He did not go to the Cosmic Sea to explore immediately, but stayed on the Primordial Star to keep an eye on his disciple, so as to prevent his identity from being exposed or being targeted by some powerful figures.

He learned of the news that Venerable Void Blade had defeated Lord of Sinking Fire and was considered to have become the Lord of the Universe immediately.

Seeing that everyone was looking over, he smiled and explained, "It won't be long before another universe master emerges from our human race."

"Who? Heavenly Eclipse, or the Ancestral Tree, or has that guy from Star Prison finally comprehended the Path of the Beast God?"

"You'll find out when the time comes." Giant Axe didn't intend to reveal Ling Xuan's strength now; Ling Xuan's true form was only a Realm Lord, still too fragile.

The Lord of Chaos City smiled and shook his head. Of course he knew who the giant axe was referring to. He had given Ling Xuan the avatar of Zhou Heng, so he naturally knew the other party's identity.

He just didn't expect that the other party would possess the combat power of a top-tier cosmic overlord so quickly. It seems that becoming the master of the universe is not far away.

But the next second, he could no longer laugh. This shadow monarch, who was in charge of the human intelligence department, had been paying close attention to the intelligence work of the human race.

The news that Venerable Void Blade had been recognized as the Lord of the Universe was noticed immediately and reported to him.

"Chaos, why did you suddenly stop laughing?" The Giant Axe Founder looked over with a smile.
