Swallowing the Stars: Heart of the Martial God

Chapter 91 Clash with the Universe Overlord
Ling Xuan stepped forward and imprinted his mental energy onto the sensor of the storage box.

Suddenly, a dark purple soul shadow, like a vengeful ghost crawling out of the deepest hell, burst forth from the mountain of goods with a terrifying pressure that made one's soul tremble and suffocate. It rushed straight towards his sea of ​​consciousness with lightning speed!
As Qian Yue Venerable felt this pressure, his pupils shrank sharply, his eyes instantly filled with shock and anger, and his long silver-gray hair stood on end without wind, each strand resembling a burning silver flame.

"This is bad, a powerful figure is targeting my martial uncle."

I need to teleport there immediately to save the emperor.

Unfortunately, the Bone-Eating Venerable, who had been plotting for a long time, had already anticipated Qian Yue's rescue and sealed off the entire space of the floating island the moment he made his move.

She could only transform into a silver meteor and rush towards Ling Xuan's location.

"Uncle-Master, hang in there!"

At the speed of a Universe Venerable, this distance was covered in the blink of an eye, just in time to witness the scene of the Bone-Eating Venerable using his ethereal divine power to erode Ling Xuan.

She watched helplessly as the evil soul chains bound Ling Xuan tightly, her heart filled with anxiety. Without hesitation, she channeled her divine power.

Countless shimmering silver runes flew toward Ling Xuan's sea of ​​consciousness, attempting to sever the soul chains and protect Ling Xuan's soul.

But it was all too late. The soul chains had already tightly bound Ling Xuan, and the Bone Devourer was a cosmic overlord among soul masters, whose strength was already greater than that of the Thousand Yue Venerable.

Moreover, she is a cosmic venerable who specializes in material attacks, and her ethereal divine power is completely unable to stop the Bone-Eating Venerable.

Venerable Qianyue was extremely anxious, his eyes almost spitting fire, but he could only watch helplessly as Ling Xuan fell into a desperate situation.

On the brink of life and death, the five deities seated within the Lingxuan Dao Palace began chanting ancient scriptures in unison.

The chanting sounded like a grand bell, or a thunderous roar that seemed to cleave the heavens and the earth, echoing and reverberating in Ling Xuan's mind, causing his soul chains to tremble violently and shatter inch by inch.

Each character transformed into a dazzling ray of light, like a falling star, rushing towards the chains of the soul.

Above the platform, countless strange phenomena appeared, with nine beams of spiritual light shooting straight into the sky, like nine pillars of light connecting heaven and earth.

The Spirit Pivot Tower, which the Founder of the Giant Axe had given to Ling Xuan, now shone brightly, forming a phantom image of a pagoda that protected Ling Xuan's soul within it.

As the gods chanted their praises, nine imperial characters suddenly appeared within Ling Xuan's altar, bestowing their blessings upon the pagoda, instantly filling it with an aura of unparalleled imperial might.

The secret runes on the pagoda shimmered, working in conjunction with the supreme divine might to firmly block the evil soul chains outside the pagoda.

Ling Xuan's cultivation had already broken through to the Saint King level in a hundred years, his will was comparable to that of a Universe Venerable, and he had the Spirit Pivot Tower, a soul-type treasure bestowed by the Giant Axe Founder, to protect his soul. Moreover, he had nine Emperor titles on his body. How could he be enslaved by a Universe Overlord?

Each impact of the soul chains produced a dull thud in the Spirit Pivot Tower, yet it remained unshaken.

The resounding chanting of the great bell continued to echo, resisting the erosion of his soul by the Bone-Eating Venerable.

"How is this possible? You're just a domain lord, yet your will is so powerful?" Venerable Bone Eater was shocked and furious. His crimson-black bone wings instantly unfurled, stirring up storms of dark matter mixed with black lightning, as if they were about to devour the entire world.

"Humans actually bestowed upon you such a precious treasure, you deserve to die!"

Knowing it had no chance to enslave Ling Xuan, it stopped pursuing the soul enslavement. With a wave of its hand, its divine power surged and transformed into countless terrifying bone spikes that shot towards Ling Xuan.

"Don't think about it."

Venerable Qianyue arrived wielding an axe, immediately unleashing his divine power. The terrifying force caused the entire space to distort violently, as if it were being boiled.

With a wave of his hand, he unleashed twelve silver axe beams, shattering the space wherever they touched.

She slashed down from mid-air, the axe blade flashing like a reversed Milky Way, carrying world-destroying power, and collided violently with the bone spikes.

Space itself shattered like fragile glass, countless black cracks spreading rampantly, threatening to devour everything in its path. The once mountain of treasures had long been crushed to dust by the aftershocks of the battle. Ling Xuan's body had been protected by the Void Mirror at the last moment.

A faint, ethereal light curtain descended from the purple bronze mirror, steadily protecting him from the effects of the spatial shattering.

The Bone-Eating Venerable was sent flying like a kite with a broken string by the angry axe blow from the Thousand Yue Venerable.

As a cosmic overlord skilled in the way of the soul, it was far inferior to Qian Yue Venerable, a high-level cosmic venerable, in terms of physical attacks, and for a time, it was at a disadvantage in this confrontation.

"Damn it, Qian Yue, are you a high and mighty cosmic venerable one or this brat's maid?" The venomous voice of the Bone-Eating Venerable came from the ruins, filled with endless resentment and anger.

"Bone Eater, how dare you, a cosmic overlord, attack your Uncle-Master, a Domain Lord? Have you no shame, Zerg?" Venerable Qianyue's eyebrows furrowed, her beautiful eyes flashing with cold light, like two sharp blades piercing straight at Venerable Bone Eater.

"Heh~" Venerable Bone Eater snorted coldly and said no more. In order to complete the task given to him by the Lord of Purple Iris, it would spare no effort and did not care about saving face.

The Bone-Eating Venerable began to burn with divine power, and his aura instantly surged like boiling oil being poured onto firewood.

His divine power instantly etherealized, transforming into a strange, purplish-black mist that surged towards Venerable Qianyue.

Each illusion is like an independent little world, attempting to trap Venerable Qianyue within it.

Venerable Qianyue was greatly alarmed, as she was well aware of the terrifying skill of Venerable Shigu, the overlord of the universe, in soul attacks.

Unexpectedly, a cosmic overlord would go so far as to burn his divine power to cast an illusion in order to assassinate a mere domain lord.

She dared not slacken in the slightest and resisted with all her might.

However, this illusion was like an impenetrable net; every time she seemed to break through, she would fall into an even deeper layer of illusion.

Venerable Qianyue was extremely anxious, worried about Ling Xuan's safety.

However, under the full force of the Soul Master, the Bone-Eating Venerable, she was already struggling to protect herself, let alone save Ling Xuan.

Just as Venerable Qianyue was struggling against the illusion, Venerable Shigu struck out at Ling Xuan with his palm again, intending to use his overwhelming divine power to completely kill Ling Xuan.

Ancient runes on the Void Mirror appeared and disappeared, as if they were depicting the Void Emperor's once invincible Void Dao, which allowed him to traverse the universe.

The powerful divine force of the Saint King realm poured into the Void Mirror like a surging river, causing the entire mirror to tremble violently. A majestic divine might that could make the starry sky lose its color swept outwards like a surging sea wave.

Wherever that divine power passed, space cracked inch by inch, revealing deep, dark, chaotic fissures.

Upon seeing this, Venerable Bone-Eating flashed a hint of contempt in his crimson vertical pupils, and let out a piercing sneer: "A mere regional lord dares to provoke a cosmic overlord? It's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, utterly overestimating your own strength!"

Its dark purple soul fire surged, and its immense divine power instantly condensed into a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky. Dark matter venom that corroded everything flowed from its fingernails as it viciously clawed down at Ling Xuan and the Void Mirror.

However, the moment the giant hand touched the celestial light emanating from the Void Mirror, the expression of the Bone-Eating Venerable froze instantly.

The supreme imperial might flowing across the Void Mirror crashed down like an immortal divine mountain, causing the dark matter on the surface of the giant hand to begin to disintegrate inch by inch.

"Boom—" Two world-destroying forces collided violently, and the entire storage warehouse shattered like fragile glass. The terrifying energy aftershocks swept across the entire floating island with overwhelming force, turning the buildings on the island's surface into dust.

This earth-shattering blow resulted in a temporary stalemate between the two sides, with neither gaining the upper hand.

The Bone-Eating Venerable gazed at the mysterious runes flowing in the Void Mirror, his eyes blazing with greed: "Such a treasure, if only I could possess it..."

It pondered in its heart that even without knowing the true origin of the Void Mirror, its terrifying power alone was enough to make it a top-tier treasure of the universe.
