Swallowing the Stars: Heart of the Martial God

Chapter 44 Rock Peak Star

“Your Highness, these seemingly natural celestial bodies surrounding the Giant Axe Arena headquarters are actually powerful technological weapons,” Napa respectfully explained. “The mountains and rivers also conceal secrets and are part of the headquarters’ defense system.”

Ling Xuan nodded, secretly marveling to himself.

With the strength of the Giant Axe Arena, turning the entire continent into an impregnable fortress would be a piece of cake.

However, the planet in the center is quite peculiar.

They created such a large continent that surrounds the entire planet, as if protecting it. I wonder what mysteries this planet holds.

"Puff, help me look up information about this planet," Ling Xuan instructed out of curiosity.

"Yes, Master." Puff began to use Ling Xuan's privileges to search.

"Strange, there was no reaction at all just now, but suddenly the information about this planet was found." Puff murmured in confusion, as if the system had encountered a bug that even she, a highly intelligent life form, could not understand.

"Did you find out? Puff." Ling Xuan asked.

"We've found it, Master. This planet is called Rock Peak Star. It seems to be the origin planet of an ancient race called the Rock Peak Clan. It appears that your Candle Dragon Clan originated from this Rock Peak Star," Puff said.

"No wonder, everyone thought that Rock Peak Planet was destroyed in the course of history and time, but the real Rock Peak Planet was protected by Master Giant Axe at the Giant Axe Arena headquarters."

"No wonder Teacher Giant Axe was willing to directly provide Luo Feng with a top-tier treasure and return ownership of Earth to him. Their feelings of protecting their homeland are the same."

call!
The spaceship traveled at near-light speed for several minutes in the entrance passage to the continent before finally slowing down and coming to a stop.

Ling Xuan, followed by Immortal Napa and the others, flew out of the cabin.

Outside, a dozen or so men and women in uniforms were waiting. When Ling Xuan arrived, the leader of these men, a silver-robed man with blue horns, stepped forward and said respectfully, "Your Highness Ling Xuan, we are waiting here by order of the Venerable One. Please follow me, Your Highness."

"Mm." Ling Xuan nodded.

"Thank you, Napa." Ling Xuan turned to look at the lean old man.

Immortal Napa smiled and said, "It is my honor to accompany Your Highness for three years."

Then, the two went their separate ways.

Ling Xuan walked along the dreamlike corridor with the silver-robed, green-horned man and others. The latter half of the corridor was transparent, allowing a clear view of the beautiful starry sky outside and the surrounding mountain scenery.

In just a moment, Ling Xuan was led into an oval-shaped hall. The entire hall was transparent, both around and above. Looking up, one could see the infinite starry sky, and in the distance, one could see the beautiful scenery of the headquarters. Moreover, one could see spaceships at any time, and even immortal beings flying by like shooting stars.

"Ling Xuan."

"Flame Demon, you've arrived."

As soon as Ling Xuan entered, he was immediately welcomed by many people.

The winner of this year's Genius Battle, who brutally defeated Yan Shen Cao Benqi, was the first super genius to break through the Trial Tower.

Moreover, apart from appearing crazy during battles, Ling Xuan is actually very easy to get along with in daily life.

Most importantly, everyone is from the same year, and they might be able to curry favor with someone from that background in the future, so those who have already arrived are incredibly enthusiastic.

"Li Shuang, Yan Qiu, Yao Li..." Ling Xuan greeted everyone warmly with a smile.

Over the past three years, they have had a lot of interaction with the young people who joined at the same time. In the past three years, except for a very few who are very aloof, most of them have become friends, or at least they can talk and laugh together.

Especially the three women, Feng Lishuang and Ling Xuan, have developed feelings for each other rapidly under Ling Xuan's intentional or unintentional contact, and they are only one step away from getting their marriage certificates.

Don't ask why Ling Xuan was able to marry three women; it's just that he's cheating.

"Ling Xuan..." Suddenly a chilling voice rang out from behind, and the surrounding air pressure seemed to drop considerably.

The other geniuses around were so startled that they all retreated, not daring to approach the center of the impending storm.

Ling Xuan frowned and turned to look at the newcomer. "I think I heard a dog barking loudly."

Upon hearing this, Cao Benqi paused, veins bulging on his face, looking extremely furious. "Do you dare to fight me in the Giant Axe Arena?" "You and I are both the most outstanding geniuses in the Giant Axe Arena. The tradition of the Giant Axe Arena is to undergo life-and-death trials. You wouldn't dare, would you?" Cao Benqi stared intently at Ling Xuan.

Ling Xuan sneered, "I'm not afraid of you even in the virtual universe, let alone in reality."

In reality, I can call for reinforcements; the Giant Axe Arena doesn't say you can't use treasures to assist in battle.

With his own innate secret technique, the Heaven-Covering Technique, which had already broken through to the second level of the Sendai realm, was more than enough to beat up Cao Benqi, who had just broken through to the Universe level.

"Ling Xuan, don't agree to him. The real advantage of the Yan Shen Clan lies in their physical abilities." Feng Li Shuang hurriedly stopped Ling Xuan from agreeing.

"The Yan Shen Clan is the only human race whose life gene multiplier is not one, and their physical talent is terrifyingly strong," Leng Yanqiu added.

"Yes, yes, I heard that this Yan Shen is the most powerful genius in the history of the Yan Shen clan. His gene multiplier is probably more than five times, which means that his combat power in reality is more than five times that in the virtual universe."

"What? Scared? You coward, you hid from me like a turtle in the Genius Battle, not daring to face me head-on. Now you're going to cower in front of your woman too?" Cao Benqi became even more arrogant as he saw that Ling Xuan had not yet accepted his challenge.

"The Giant Axe Arena? Just what I want." Ling Xuan's voice contained a hint of killing intent. "But let me make this clear first: once I've smashed you into a pulp, the Yan God Clan shouldn't be crying to me."

With Teacher Jufu as his backer, Ling Xuan's words became increasingly assertive.

Cao Benqi roared and took half a step forward. Just then, the entire hall suddenly trembled violently.

Brilliant golden light poured down from the dome, and the oppressive force pressed down as if it were a tangible force. Cao Benqi's steps faltered, and everyone else was forced to kneel on one knee.

"Enough." The deep voice seemed to come from the depths of the universe. "Geniuses are not toys for infighting. Cao Benqi, if you continue to act recklessly, go back to the Yan God Clan. The Giant Axe Arena is not a place for you to run wild."

Cao Benqi was filled with resentment. Why did this powerful figure from the Giant Axe Arena only blame him, while Ling Xuan, the other person involved in the conflict, did not receive the punishment he deserved?

But no matter how unwilling he was, he dared not show it at this moment. When facing an existence that was much stronger than himself, his mind remained exceptionally clear.

If that powerful being knew Cao Benqi's thoughts, he would definitely laugh out loud. What a joke! Ling Xuan is the personal disciple of the founder of the Giant Axe. This is the Giant Axe Arena. If we don't protect him, are we siding with outsiders? Besides, it was you who started the trouble in the first place.

"Yes."

"Follow me, all of you." After saying that, the owner of the voice exuded a powerful and irresistible force that enveloped the 1000 young people present.

Whoosh!
It turned into a stream of light in an instant, and after flying for a few minutes, it arrived in front of a strange spaceship parked on the lawn, and then put down all 1000 young people.

"call."

Ling Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. The feeling of being carried around like that was really uncomfortable, and he felt completely unsafe.

"Go in, all of you. I'm giving you one last warning to some of you troublemakers: behave yourselves once you're in the Initial Universe. No one will tolerate you causing trouble there. Even if your cosmic ruler comes to plead for you, you might not escape death," the mysterious powerhouse continued.

"Yes, sir." Everyone responded in unison, and then they noticed the spaceship in front of them.

This is a large ship, entirely gray-black in color, with an appearance resembling a flying bird. The bird's wings are still trembling slightly, as if it were a real bird.

The large bird's belly indeed had a technologically advanced hatch, which was wide open at the moment, revealing the corridor inside.

Ling Xuan and the others stepped into the spaceship amidst their exclamations.

In the hall.

The invisible pressure prevented the 1000 geniuses from uttering a sound, and even the other dozen or so immortal beings on the spaceship, including the mysterious man, bowed slightly.

Standing in the center is the Venerable One who presided over this battle of geniuses, Venerable Beiyan.

P.S.: I'll skip the romance. If I included it, you'd all be sick of it and it'd slow down the pacing. Besides, the main purpose of the female lead being devoured is to prove the male lead isn't just a tool for the story. While you're all waiting for the update, the male lead gets married and registers his marriage. I won't go into the details.
