Swallowing the Stars: Heart of the Martial God

Chapter 83 The Beast God Appears

The four cosmic venerables, like birds struck by lightning and their nests broken, were terrified and dared not linger for even a moment. Their divine power erupted instantly, and in the blink of an eye, they used teleportation to flee in a sorry state.

Their figures streaked across the space like shooting stars, leaving only distorted spatial ripples before disappearing in an instant above Thunderstorm Holy City.

Even after escaping Thunderstorm Holy City, they were still not at ease.

That wild and ancient aura, like a leech, clung tightly to their souls, making them dare not slacken their guard in the slightest.

The group teleported again, fleeing desperately towards the edge of the Chaos Ruins.

In their panic, they didn't even bother to recall the five armies stranded in the Chaos Abyss; all they could think about was escaping this terrifying place as quickly as possible.

They sped along, like frightened birds, not daring to stop for even a moment.

Only when they arrived in the vast universe and discovered that the owner of that aura had not followed them did they breathe a sigh of relief, and their hearts, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

At this moment, they were all still in shock, with deep fear lingering in their eyes.

"Was that the aura of the Lord of the Universe just now?" After a long silence, Venerable Tianfeng spoke in a trembling voice, breaking the oppressive silence.

Her voice was filled with panic and confusion, and her eyes, as she looked at the crowd, still held lingering fear.

“There’s no mistake.” Venerable Qianyue, who was also a woman, echoed, her voice trembling slightly. She gripped the axe tightly in her hand, her knuckles turning white, as if only in this way could she gain some sense of security.

"Could it be that there really is a Beast God?" Venerable Jin Yu guessed, his gaze fixed on the front, his eyes revealing a trace of confusion and shock. "That aura just now was completely different from that of the human universe lord, but it was similar to that of the Golden Beast God who fell billions of years ago, carrying a savage and ancient aura, as well as a chaotic and murderous will."

“Impossible. Even if this was truly the territory of the Beast God before, it’s impossible to stay here now. We humans are a top race, and the Golden Beast God died at our hands.” Venerable Linghuan retorted, his brows furrowed into a deep frown as he tried to convince himself with reason, but his voice still betrayed a hint of unease.

All the naturally born beast gods are universe lords of the fourth rank or above. They can almost protect themselves in the primordial universe and are considered the pinnacle of universe lords. However, they still have difficulty surviving in front of the strongest universe beings who can unleash sixth-rank strength.

The appearance of a Beast God, a being whose entire body is a treasure, would undoubtedly attract the strongest beings in the universe.

Those solitary strongest beings in the universe might not attack those beast gods, but the strongest beings from the pinnacle races definitely will.

Moreover, the top races all have at least several universe lords, and even if the strongest one doesn't take action, they still have the strength to hunt down beast gods.

Only the remote, desolate corners of the universe, far from the most powerful races, are suitable hiding places for these beast gods.

Just as the group thought the aura had vanished in an instant and was preparing to report the matter, the entire space-time suddenly seemed to freeze.

The surrounding starlight ceased to flow, and even the cosmic energy that was omnipresent in the universe seemed to be frozen in place.

"Control space and time!" This thought suddenly popped into their minds, but it was too late.

In the spacetime controlled by the Lord of the Universe, the Lord of the Universe is the absolute ruler.

A deafening roar, seemingly emanating from the chaos at the very beginning of the universe, resounded throughout the entire cosmos.

This roar contained boundless majesty and rage, shaking everyone's souls and nearly causing them to collapse.

The Chaos Abyss appeared as if it had been torn apart, revealing a massive crack from which emerged an enormous fiery dragon. Its body stretched for tens of thousands of miles, engulfed in raging flames. These flames were no ordinary fire, but a perfect fusion of fire and spatial laws; with each flick, the surrounding space shattered like broken glass.

The four cosmic venerables were utterly powerless against the dragon's control over space and time, unable even to unleash their treasures to defend themselves.

Inside the Thousand Yue Tower, Ling Xuan felt the entire world trembling. The tower walls were vibrating and humming from the terrifying pressure, as if they were about to shatter at any moment.

Just as everyone was filled with terror, Ling Xuan's sea of ​​suffering suddenly trembled violently, and the Void Mirror, which had been dormant in his sea of ​​suffering, flew out on its own.

The Void Mirror hovered in front of everyone, its surface shimmering with runes, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura that clashed head-on with the terrifying aura emanating from the fiery dragon.

The Void Mirror is an ultimate imperial weapon forged by the Void Emperor with unparalleled power. It accompanied the Emperor in his conquests, endured countless bloody battles, and was stained with the blood of many supreme emperors. It carries the Void Emperor's invincible Void Dao.

At this moment, the Void Mirror fully revived, its body shining brightly, as if it were about to dispel the darkness of the entire universe.

The mirror displays a series of strange scenes, where birth and destruction unfold in the endless void, and stars twinkle and shatter—a re-enactment of the scene at the beginning of the universe.

Accompanied by light, the Void Mirror unleashed its supreme imperial might, vast and mighty, as if it were about to crush the heavens.

The surrounding space shattered layer by layer, forming deep black cracks, as if being torn apart by an invisible giant hand.

It clashed and resisted the invincible pressure emanating from the giant dragon.

Upon seeing this, the dragon's whiskers stood on end, its mouth opened wide, and it spewed out a pillar of fire powerful enough to incinerate everything, surging towards the Void Mirror.

The Void Mirror flashed and disappeared into the void in an instant. The next moment, it appeared on the side of the pillar of fire. The mirror swayed slightly, and a surge of void power emanated, twisting and dissipating the pillar of fire.

In their first clash, the two forces were evenly matched. In an instant, this region of the entire universe was turned upside down by the power of these two terrifying beings. The surrounding stars were affected, some were directly swallowed by flames and turned into ashes, while others were torn to shreds by the power of the void, forming cosmic dust.

The runes on the Void Mirror became even more dazzling, a manifestation of the laws of the void. Streams of void power surged out like a raging tide, transforming into chains of void gods that coiled around the Fire Beast God.

Wherever it passed, space was easily sliced ​​open like tofu, revealing deep, dark cracks.

The dragon's body was engulfed in flames, the temperature of which had surpassed all limits in the world. Every spark contained the world-destroying power of the complete fire-space fusion law, scorching and distorting the surrounding universe, as if it were about to turn the entire universe into a sea of ​​fire.

It swung its enormous body, its whiskers whipping wildly, and terrifying pillars of fire spewed from its mouth, colliding with the void power of the Void Mirror. Each collision triggered a massive explosion powerful enough to destroy stars, the light so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it. The rules of the universe became chaotic under the impact of this power.

"A treasure so powerful that it can unleash such mighty combat strength even without an owner, I underestimated you." The dragon spoke in human language, praising the dragon, but the arrogance in its eyes, looking down on all things, was undisguised.

"Hmph." A cold snort came from within the Void Mirror, like the trembling of an ancient bell, carrying the majesty accumulated over the ages.

In an instant, the runes on the mirror body roamed freely like dragons soaring across the four seas, bursting forth with boundless light, and the imperial laws that carried the invincible path of the Void Emperor throughout his life fully erupted.

The overwhelming divine power, carrying boundless void energy, surged towards the giant dragon with overwhelming force. Wherever it passed, space was torn apart like fragile paper, revealing deep black cracks, as if it were about to completely overturn the order of the entire universe.

The dragon's eyes blazed with crimson light, and its tail swept out like a giant axe that could split the heavens. Where the tip of its tail passed, a blade of light woven from the laws of the fusion of flame and space roared toward the ultimate divine might.

The two collided violently, instantly twisting space into a vortex. The resulting energy storm was like a rampaging beast, shattering the entire spacetime.
