Swallowing the Stars: Heart of the Martial God

Chapter 218 What level are you in that you dare to be called one of the four great geniuses alongside me?

"Lord Yu Lan, you must be very careful with the advice you just gave to the Ancestor. You must not make any mistakes and must not involve my Purple Moon Holy Land, otherwise..." The will of the Purple Moon Ancestor had just left when the True God of Awakening warned Lord Yu Lan sternly.

"Juehua, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Any one of these super geniuses who survives will surely be able to break through the cycle of reincarnation and establish a holy land. I won't bring trouble upon myself," Lord Yulan said with a smile.

"It's good that you know." True God Juehua nodded, and then left Purple Moon Cliff.

"I don't know why the Primordial Ancestor can't tolerate other geniuses. The Primordial Ancestor is like this, and so is the Flame Emperor. When the Primordial Ancestor broke through, the Eastern Emperor Holy Land didn't react this strongly." True God Juehua worried, but he was just the strongest in a small universe who depended on the Purple Moon Holy Land for survival, and he couldn't go against the Primordial Ancestor's will.

"Alas... I can only hope that Yu Lan's plan will succeed, and that it won't involve my Purple Moon Holy Land."

……

Far away in the primordial universe, deep within the Purple Abyss Star Palace at the Heavenly Court headquarters, Ling Xuan's true form was completely immersed in the profound cultivation of the "Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique."

Every cell in his body seemed to transform into a boundless chaotic sea of ​​hell, with countless dust-like particles roaring and transforming into a heaven-supporting divine elephant, suppressing the boiling sea of ​​hell with supreme power.

That immense power surged within his divine body; he was just one step away from achieving enlightenment, at which point his genetic level would break through the astonishing barrier of 60,000 times.

Meanwhile, deep within the vast and boundless Nine Netherworld space-time, his Nine Netherworld avatar was floating in the endless Nine Netherworld Sea.

That enormous divine body, twelve light-years in diameter, resembled a complete universe, with every drop of seawater vibrating at a specific frequency, deciphering the most fundamental genetic code of life.

Especially the blood remaining on the divine armor obtained in the tomb.

Ling Xuan has confirmed that the blood was definitely left by an eternal true god, and he still cannot comprehend the laws and will remaining on it.

He is trying to guide and create a new life group, following the path Luo Feng walked in his memory. He hopes to gain a deeper understanding of the life structure diagram and the ultimate mystery of life evolution by observing the complete process of a smart group from birth, growth to rise.

If successful, the Nine Netherworld lineage will not only become a completely loyal and powerful force under the Heavenly Court, but will also serve as an important shield to protect his family and human race when he has to leave the Primal Universe and venture to the Origin Continent in the future.

As the creator and father god of this lineage, he will naturally gain the unreserved reverence and loyalty of the entire race, a bond that no exchange of benefits can match.

In the depths of the cosmic sea, where danger and opportunity coexist, Zhou Heng's avatar is piloting the palace's supreme treasure, heading towards the "Cosmic Ship," one of the three forbidden zones.

Previously, through the legacy of the Zerg and the Ancient Lord, as well as the spoils from the black artifact chamber, he had obtained a great deal of valuable map information about the interior of the spaceship, and there are still large areas of unknown territory waiting to be explored.

As a super warship built by the ancient and powerful civilization of "Wu" with all its national strength, the Spaceship not only contains the remains of countless Wu warriors, but also countless treasures, mechanical treasures, and a complete inheritance system. Its value is immeasurable, so it is naturally worth his continued exploration with a lot of energy.

If only I could be lucky enough to find the tomb ship that carries the complete lineage of "Duan Donghe" and obtain a complete divine king's inheritance, and perhaps even find the embryo of the three-pointed double-edged sword that would suit him in that Duan Donghe inheritance.

Even on the vast and boundless Origin Continent, God-King level inheritances are extremely precious. Just because we know that Luo Feng will become Emperor Chu's disciple in the future and can easily obtain the ultimate realm inheritance doesn't mean that God-King inheritances are trash.

With his current level of cultivation, he has only barely touched the threshold of the True God limit and the Void True God through the memory stone he obtained earlier. Moreover, this bottleneck has been like an insurmountable chasm for him for nearly ten thousand epochs, making him deeply aware of the difficulty of the road ahead.

As for his ancient clone, it has now arrived at another treasure land where the winds and clouds gather and attract the attention of countless powerful beings in the entire primordial universe—Primordial Star.

Previously in the cosmic sea, he did not have time to explore properly or change into suitable equipment. He is still using the top-tier domain-type treasures he obtained when he joined the Zerg Alliance, as well as the top-tier treasures he has occasionally acquired in the universe over the years.

The spatial fluctuations of the entire primordial star were completely sealed off, making teleportation impossible and divine kingdom transfer impossible.

The pervasive and rich aura of the fundamental laws of the universe makes comprehending these laws far more efficient here than outside.

Many powerful individuals choose to cultivate here after arriving on the Primordial Star. Luo Feng did just that; he often cultivates in combat environments.

This vast planet, spanning hundreds of billions of kilometers in diameter, has an endless, eternal ice field in its northern part.

The ice layer is thousands of miles thick, reflecting the cold brilliance of distant stars in the universe.

At this moment, about a million kilometers above the ice field, space rippled and twisted violently, like a lake surface tossed with a giant stone. A huge spatial vortex with a diameter of over 100,000 kilometers slowly took shape, emanating heart-palpitating fluctuations of laws from within.

"The treasure is born!"

"Such intense spatial ripples! This is definitely no ordinary treasure!"

On the icy plain, the more than one hundred cosmic venerables who were exploring on their own were instantly alarmed, and countless fervent gazes were cast toward the spatial vortex.

On the original planet, the birth of every supreme treasure is accompanied by bloodshed, but this time the omen indicates that the thing to be born is extraordinary.

At the center of the vortex, a point of brilliant golden light was conceived like an embryo, and then expanded and materialized at a speed exceeding the speed of light.

Finally, a palace that radiated golden light, with an ancient and magnificent design and eaves that soared like a divine bird in flight, was fully revealed.

It is only the size of a human head, yet it seems to be the core of the entire space-time, with countless naturally formed secret patterns on the surface of the palace flowing like living things.

"It's a palace-type treasure!"

"Judging by the layers of these runes... this is a treasure from a high-level palace!"

"Heavens! This is a supreme treasure of the High Palace, whose defenses even the Lord of the Universe would find difficult to breach!"

"Take it! At any cost!"

A supreme treasure of the high palace! Its value, in some cases, is even comparable to some top-tier offensive treasures!
Having it almost guarantees invincibility in battles against beings below the level of the Lord of the Universe, and it is also an excellent talisman for exploring dangerous areas of the primordial universe!

The Sirius Lord, a cosmic ruler, possesses a palace treasure called the Sirius Palace, which is merely a top-grade high-level treasure palace. Even so, the other party still holds a place in the primordial universe by relying on the Sirius Palace.

In an instant, the order of the entire primordial planet completely collapsed! Divine power erupted like billions of volcanoes at the same time!
The eyes of the powerful figures from various factions, including humans, demons, machines, and the insectoid alliance, instantly turned red.

The roar of colliding divine powers, the explosions of clashing secret techniques, the sharp clash of weapons... instantly transformed this tranquil icy plain into the most brutal killing field.

Just as this bloody struggle reached its most brutal peak, the palace's treasure was bobbing up and down in the chaotic energy flow—

"Om-!"

A terrifying will, vast and unparalleled, as hot as the core of a star, descended without warning!
The entire ice sheet, spanning hundreds of millions of kilometers, did not melt in that instant, but rather vaporized directly!

Endless white water vapor shot into the sky, only to be completely broken down into basic particles by indescribable high temperatures in the next moment.

The black permafrost below, which had been frozen for millions of years, was exposed, and then cracked, melted, and turned into a rolling sea of ​​lava!
A figure, seemingly emerging from the flames of the Big Bang, appeared high in the sky.

He was surrounded by billions of golden divine lights that seemed to solidify into reality, each light resembling a miniature river of stars rushing and roaring.

His handsome face carried an indifferent air of looking down upon all living beings. He was none other than Cao Benqi, the newly ascended cosmic ruler of the human race, who was at the height of his power!
"It is the Lord of the Blazing Sun!"

"The Lord of the Universe...has personally descended!"

“It’s over…we have no hope…” Cao Benqi didn’t even look at the Venerables and Immortals struggling like ants below. His gaze was fixed on the palace that was bobbing up and down in the energy turbulence. A confident smile appeared on his lips: “A high-level palace treasure? Just what I need.”

With a mere thought, he controlled time and space!

The spacetime that was originally in chaos due to the birth of the supreme treasure and the battle between hundreds of powerful figures seemed to have been injected with an invisible but incredibly tough gel, which began to solidify rapidly!
Those cosmic venerables who were charging, slashing, and casting secret spells were horrified to discover that they were as if they were trapped in the thickest amber in the universe, and every action required ten thousand times more divine power and will than usual!
Even their thinking and perception became incredibly sluggish; they could only "see" the treasure, but could not get any closer!
This is the absolute authority of the Lord of the Universe. In the spacetime under his control, even struggling is a luxury for the Supreme Being of the Universe.

however--

"Lord of the Blazing Sun, why are you arguing with some cosmic venerables?"

A cold, violent voice, as if it gathered all the destructive thoughts in the universe, pierced the soul of every living being like billions of ice needles!
The sky suddenly darkened! It wasn't the clouds that blocked it, but rather the light itself was swallowed and annihilated by some force!
"Hiss-!"

The void was violently ripped apart by a gigantic serpent tail covered in dark scales! A terrifying figure, stretching for billions of miles, emerged from it.

This is a giant serpent covered in scales as deep as the night sky. Each scale is naturally engraved with twisted, destructive runes, which seem to flow and change on the surface of the scales as if they were alive.

Its vertical pupils were like two cold, blood-red universes, containing only the purest intent to kill and end.

"It is the Lord of Annihilation!"

"Another ruler of the universe!"

"The two masters of the universe have clashed!"

The Lord of Annihilation let out a sickeningly sinister laugh, his gaze sweeping over Cao Benqi before finally settling on the newly born treasure palace: "This palace, I want it!"

The spacetime controlled by the two cosmic masters collided head-on like two ancient stars colliding. In this spacetime that Cao Benqi had initially solidified, they crashed together with a deafening roar!

“BOOM Boom Boom Boom!!!”

This clash far surpasses the sum of all previous battles!

The entire primordial star 08321 was trembling violently, as if it might disintegrate at any moment!

The space-time spanning tens of millions of kilometers was completely plunged into the most violent chaos!
Cao Benqi's fiery kingdom is in full swing!

The golden divine fire was no longer simply burning; it was frantically eroding and assimilating every inch of space and time, aiming to completely transform this place into his absolute "Flame God Domain."

The space itself is distorted and melted under high temperature, presenting a glass-like texture.

Even the Lord of Annihilation refused to yield!
The crimson light spread like a living thing, and wherever it passed, the laws of the universe were not assimilated, but directly disintegrated and annihilated! Space shattered inch by inch like fragile glass, and the flow of time became chaotic, sometimes accelerating ten thousand times, and sometimes completely stopping.

Within that crimson domain, it seemed as if countless demons were roaring, trying to drag all things into the abyss of destruction.

The boundary between the two domains is no longer a clear dividing line, but a vast, ever-exploding forbidden zone of laws spanning hundreds of thousands of kilometers!

Here:
Golden flames and crimson ripples resembled a massive army clashing and annihilating each other.

The spatial structure was completely torn apart, resulting in large-scale collapse and evaporation!
The most basic spacetime particles were forcibly stripped and ground from the "skeleton" of the universe, transforming into a surging, colorful stream of spacetime particles!
These particle streams, like an out-of-control galaxy, rampaged through the restricted area with destructive energy.

From the depths of the shattered spacetime, wisps of hazy, chaotic energy, exuding the aura of the uncreated world, were squeezed out!

These chaotic currents of energy were incredibly heavy, each strand seemingly carrying the weight of an entire galaxy. Wherever they passed, even the raging streams of spacetime particles were assimilated and devoured!
Those cosmic venerables who were unfortunately located near this "forbidden zone of laws" suffered annihilation!

As the chaotic currents swept past, a mechanical venerable vanished silently, like a sandcastle.

A venerable being from the human faction attempted to escape by teleportation, but was directly swept away by the chaotic flow of spacetime particles, and his divine body was instantly annihilated under the tearing of billions of different spacetime laws.

More powerful beings, in the aftermath of the spacetime clash between the two universe masters, had their divine bodies directly collapse, transforming into the most primal energy, nourishing this increasingly terrifying battlefield.

Cao Benqi and the Lord of Annihilation hovered at opposite ends of this chaos, their divine bodies trembling slightly. Clearly, maintaining this level of struggle for control over spacetime was a tremendous burden for them.

Their eyes met in mid-air, sparking a real confrontation, as they both saw the resolute determination and greed in each other's eyes.

As the stalemate continued, with neither side able to gain the upper hand, the chaotic forbidden zone expanded further, even drawing in the supreme treasure palace, its light flickering erratically—

"Boom!"

A heartbeat, seemingly originating from the very essence of the universe's laws, rang out without warning!

This sound does not travel through the air, but resonates synchronously within the core of the souls of all living beings, in every inch of the structure of space and time!
An unparalleled majesty, surpassing all things, ruling over all laws, and commanding all paths to submit, descended suddenly like a sleeping emperor awakening!
The Supreme Emperor's Might!

The moment this imperial might appeared, the fiery kingdom and the blood-red domain, which had been fiercely clashing and deadlocked, began to violently and uncontrollably tremble and twist, as if a boulder had been thrown into a lake!
Cao Benqi's expression suddenly changed. He felt that his once-commanding sea of ​​flames had become obscure and difficult to control, as if it had encountered some kind of absolute suppression!
For the first time, a look of surprise and uncertainty appeared in the crimson eyes of the Lord of Annihilation. His indestructible blood-red ripples showed an instinctive fear and retreat in the face of this majesty!
Between Cao Benqi and the Lord of Annihilation, in the center of that most chaotic forbidden zone, the void silently slid open to both sides like a curtain.

A colossal, indescribably majestic, dark golden giant took a step forward!
He stands three million kilometers tall, seemingly supporting this collapsing world.

Its entire body is composed of a dark golden substance that is neither gold nor jade, and contains the Daoist essence of immortality and indestructibility. Every slight undulation of its muscles resonates with the origin of the surrounding universe.

His face was ancient and simple, and his eyes seemed to contain two evolving universes, calm yet carrying an indifferent gaze upon all living beings.

"Lord of the Golden Wall!"

"How...how could he be here?!"

"Three universe lords! This supreme palace has actually attracted three universe lords!"

The Lord of the Golden Wall's gaze, as vast as a star field, pierced through the chaotic spacetime, ignoring the precious palace treasure, and fixed firmly on Cao Benqi, whose expression had drastically changed.

His voice wasn't loud, yet it exploded simultaneously in the minds of all living beings like billions of chaotic thunderbolts, carrying a judgmental indifference:
"Cao Benqi, I have been searching for you for a long time."

He actually came specifically for the Lord of the Blazing Sun!

Alarm bells rang in Cao Benqi's mind, and an unprecedented sense of crisis enveloped him. He forced himself to remain calm, his body engulfed in golden divine flames, attempting to dispel the invisible pressure: "Lord of the Golden Wall! What do you mean by that? I seem to have no enmity with you, or with the Zerg Alliance!"

The Lord of the Golden Wall did not answer his question at all, but slowly raised his right arm, which looked as if it were formed from countless star veins.

With this simple movement of his—

"boom!!!"

The supreme imperial might, more magnificent, purer, and more domineering, was like a massive explosion of the cosmic sea, sweeping outwards in all directions from him as the center!
"What level do you think you are, daring to be called one of the four great geniuses alongside me?"
