Swallowing the Stars: The cheat system only comes when I'm almost a god?

The core of Tianguangxu, a place where precious light soars to the sky.

A golden beam of light, over ten thousand kilometers in diameter, pierced through layers of spatial fragments and energy storms, its ripples causing every powerful king to gasp for breath.

However, the atmosphere in this area, which should have been engulfed in chaos due to the emergence of a great treasure, was strangely stagnant.

On the shattered continent closest to the treasure light, several towering figures stood.

Leading the group was none other than King Fei Tu of the Heavenly Wolf lineage of the demon race. Behind him followed seven or eight powerful kings, who appeared to be vanguards vying for the treasure, but in reality, they were carefully selected actors putting on a show.

The first to arrive at the core area of ​​Baoguang were not only King Mingcang and his party, but also the King-Sealing Squad of the nearby Mechanical Race and Zerg factions.

An elite squad led by three peak-level mechanical race warriors, their electronic eyes flashing continuously, analyzed the situation on the spot.

Almost simultaneously, the Zerg forces also arrived.

A powerful Stone Armor Clan expert at the pinnacle of his power arrived instantly, carrying a World Ring. Inside the ring, an Immortal-level Queen concealed her Mother Nest, her mental energy subtly scanning the surroundings.

The two groups looked at each other warily, but their gazes eventually settled on King Mingcang in the center.

A peak-level mechanical king stepped forward and questioned, "King of the Underworld, your demon race moves swiftly. A great treasure appears, and everyone who sees it gets a share. Do you intend to monopolize it?"

The Stone Armor Clan's King of Limit also spoke in a low voice: "Lord Mingcang King is renowned for his prestige, but with such a precious treasure before us, we will not easily back down."

A cold glint flashed in the Dark King's golden vertical pupils as he swept his gaze over the dozen or so kings, his tone domineering: "This treasure is for my demon race. Those who don't want to die here, get out of here now!"

This blatant threat both shocked and enraged the kings of the machine race and the insect race, but they were also wary of the invincible strength of the King of the Underworld and dared not act rashly. However, with the treasure right in front of them, who would easily back down?

Just as the parties were arguing, several incredibly powerful auras descended upon the place almost simultaneously.

On the left, a figure made entirely of dark purple crystals stepped out. His arrival made all the powerful figures present wary. He was the invincible king of the Crystal Clan—the Amethyst King.

The void to the right distorted, and several mechanical puppets descended, followed by a powerful mechanical warrior whose electronic eyes caused space to tremble.

The invincible king of the mechanical race—King Yaohua!

In the direction of the Zerg camp, the space rippled like water, and a graceful figure dressed in a gorgeous battle dress with crystalline tentacles on her head materialized. Her invisible mental network covered a large area, causing the souls of all the powerful beings who sensed it to tighten slightly.

The Zerg Queen, the Invincible Queen Mother – Yuna!

The arrival of the three invincible kings instantly shattered the oppressive atmosphere surrounding the Underworld King's side.

The Amethyst King's voice was flat and emotionless: "Vaitu, when did the ownership of this precious treasure become a matter for you to decide with a single word?"

King Yaohua's single eye also locked onto King Mingcang, and he sneered, "The demon race has quite the appetite, but aren't they afraid of overeating?"

Youna's mental fluctuations carried a chilling aura: "Your Majesty, King Mingcang, do you intend to wage war against us simultaneously?"

King Mingcang was filled with rage. Looking at the three equally powerful figures in front of him and the Kings gathering behind them, he could hardly suppress the urge to attack directly.

With his strength, if he were to launch a sudden attack in conjunction with the more than four hundred King-level experts who were secretly lurking, he would have a high chance of severely injuring or even killing one of the King-level Invincible experts.

But he couldn't.

"The main target of the plan is Shadow Sword King Han Li. Taking action now will certainly repel the enemy in front of us, but it will also alert the cunning snake and make it retreat into its hole."

He suppressed the murderous intent in his heart and said in a low voice, "Now that you have arrived, you naturally have the right to compete."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the increasingly dazzling light of the treasure: "The birth of a great treasure still requires some time to brew. If we fight now, we will only be wasting our divine power and letting those who come later benefit."

Why not wait and see when the treasure is truly revealed, then each of us can rely on our own abilities?

Upon hearing this, King Zijing and Youna exchanged a few words via telepathy, and King Yaohua's single eye also flickered a few times.

What King Mingcang said made sense, but the other party's sudden softening of attitude made them wary and suspicious that there might be a trap.

However, maintaining a superficial balance for the time being and waiting for more powerful allies to gather is always advantageous.

"Alright," King Amethyst said coldly.

Youna nodded slightly, her mental field receding.

Yaohua Wang emitted a buzzing sound of unclear meaning, which can be regarded as acquiescence.

A fragile stillness thus settled over the core area of ​​Tianguangxu.

The four kings, all invincible, faced off against each other from afar, while other kings who had rushed to the scene were scattered on the outer perimeter. Countless divine thoughts intertwined, and the air was filled with a suffocating atmosphere.

In this eerie calm, no one noticed that a figure had quietly arrived on the battlefield.

That was a burly figure covered in crimson scales, whose aura was powerful, reaching the limit of the King level. He was none other than Yan Lie of the Yan God Clan.

The news that the Flame God Clan had broken away from humanity and joined the Star Alliance was no secret.

When the human race broke through the secret realm of the Flame God Clan, not all the immortals were inside. Some escaped and were still wandering in the outer battlefield or other secret realms, and were not all wiped out.

Therefore, Yan Lie's appearance did not cause much of a stir among the powerful figures present. Only some of the Star Alliance's Kings nodded to him, while the Kings from other factions regarded him merely as one of the powerful figures from the Star Alliance who had come to compete for the treasure.

But no one knew that within a world ring that Yan Lie always carried, "Shadow Sword King Han Li" was quietly lurking, while Lin Yuan, like the most patient hunter, calmly observed everything in the outside world.

"Judging from the current situation, the Vaishyas seem to have already obtained the treasure and are trying to lure me out. If I'm lucky, this battle will not only severely damage the other factions' forces on the Ninth Battlefield, but I can also acquire a few more treasures."

……

Time passed slowly, and about half an hour later, the core area of ​​Tianguangxu was already bustling with people.

The powerful demons gathered from all directions, their numbers rapidly expanding to an astonishing six hundred in a short period of time. Among them were many well-known experts at the peak of the King-level realm, creating a terrifying spectacle.

As time went on, the number of Kings arriving from both the Mech Race and the Zerg Race increased dramatically, reaching over two hundred on each side.

In addition, powerful figures from both the Star Alliance and the Crystal Clan arrived one after another, totaling about two hundred. Among them, an unfamiliar invincible king-level expert from the Alliance also arrived.

The solitary kings and other powerful kings from weaker races also arrived one after another, bringing the total number of non-demon race members to nearly a thousand.

In stark contrast, the human camp had only a handful of powerful kings among them who had arrived at this location.

Moreover, most of these people stayed in the outer area and watched from a distance, showing no intention of going deeper into the struggle.

"Why are there so few people from the Hongmeng?"

"Their behavior is unusual; they've probably received some internal orders."

"Hmph, it's better that they didn't come. Without these troublesome guys, our chances of seizing the treasure are much greater."

Many powerful figures in the alien camp whispered among themselves, and King Mingcang naturally noticed this as well.

A moment of doubt flashed through his mind, but it was quickly replaced by a greater unease. The Hongmeng's low-key approach this time was completely different from their usual style of not giving an inch in the competition for precious treasures.

More importantly—Shadow Sword King Han Li still hasn't appeared!

The treasure has appeared, powerful figures are gathering, chaos is about to break out, this should be the best time for that cunning fish to enter the fray and fish in troubled waters.

However, the target remained elusive.

"Could it be that he saw through the trap? Or has the Hongmeng made other arrangements?" King Mingcang was anxious.

He had been planning for a long time, mobilizing hundreds of powerful kings, and even temporarily tolerating provocations from other races, all in order to achieve his goal in one fell swoop.

If Han Li doesn't come, everything will be in vain.

We can't wait any longer! Every second we wait increases the chances of things changing.

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and King Mingcang secretly activated the precious treasure that had been used as bait.

boom!

The already dazzling golden light suddenly surged, its diameter nearly doubling, and the light was so blinding that many of the kings couldn't help but squint.

"The most precious treasure is about to be fully revealed!"

"Quick! Get ready to move!"

The fragile balance was shattered, and all the powerful were captivated by this strange phenomenon, their greed ignited.

Just as everyone's attention was focused on the precious light, a loud voice rang out across the battlefield:

"Gentlemen! Please hear me out!"

The one who spoke was Yan Lie.

He took a few steps forward, his voice, amplified by divine power, resounding in all directions: "The treasure before us is indeed..." .

But please take a look at the situation. The demon race has more than 600 king-level experts, most of whom have enormous divine bodies, and there is also an invincible king-level expert like the Underworld King in charge.

And what about us? Even if all the king-level experts from all factions were added together, our numbers would only be slightly greater than theirs, but we're scattered in all directions, fighting our own battles!

He paused deliberately, his gaze sweeping over the several invincible kings on the field: "When the battle breaks out, with the combined strength of the demon race, their chances of seizing the treasure are undoubtedly the greatest."

At that point, the rest of us will probably not even get a taste of the spoils, and will only suffer unnecessary losses!

These words, like cold water dripping into hot oil, instantly stirred ripples in the hearts of many powerful individuals.

Although Yan Lie's words were blunt, they struck a chord with their concerns; the power displayed by the demon race at this moment was indeed far too great.

Seeing this, Yan Lie raised his voice even higher: "In my opinion, we should join forces to force the demon race back, or at least greatly weaken them."

Then, when it comes to competing for the treasures, everyone will have to rely on their own abilities; otherwise, they'll just be doing all the work for the demon race!

"Join forces?"

"Drive away the demons first?"

This proposal stirred the hearts of many powerful figures, who involuntarily turned their gazes toward their own leader.

If you count carefully, there are as many as six invincible kings who are not from the demon race: Amethyst King, Radiant King, Youna, plus the one from the Star Alliance and the two lone travelers!

With six invincible kings and nearly a thousand kings under their command, they have a significant advantage over the demon race, and at least they can drive them out of the core area.

King Mingcang took in all of this, and the anger and killing intent in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

He instantly understood that Yan Lie, who had jumped out, was there to cause trouble. Yan Lie's words were sharp, directly pointing the finger at the demon race.

This is no coincidence!

Considering that Han Li has not yet appeared and the Hong Alliance has also been unusually low-key, a thought flashed through Ming Cangwang's mind:

"Could this also be part of the human race's scheme? Is Yan Lie Han Li's pawn, or a spy planted by the human race?"

But in any case, we absolutely cannot let this troublemaker continue talking!

"Insolence!" King Mingcang roared.

Golden vertical pupils locked onto Yan Lie, and the terrifying pressure of being an invincible king crushed down on him without reservation, the icy killing intent contained within almost solidified.

"A mere stray dog ​​of the Flame God Clan dares to spread rumors and sow discord here?" King Mingcang took a step forward, causing the space to tremble. "I will first kill you, you ignorant fool, as a warning to others!"

Before the words were even finished, a gigantic wolf claw capable of tearing through the starry sky, carrying destructive power, pierced through space and slammed down towards Yan Lie's head!
