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

Venerable Rift Abyss announced the value of the six treasures in one breath, which totaled more than 60 Treasure Points.

His heart was bleeding with pain; all of this was the accumulation of countless epochs, and today he had to hand it over to someone else.

But to save his life, he had no other choice.

"Could I leave behind a few precious treasures?" Venerable Rift Abyss asked tentatively, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Lin Yuan looked at the six treasures floating in front of him and pondered for a moment.

This harvest is indeed quite good, over 60 treasure points, which is equivalent to his accumulation over thousands of years on the original star.

Moreover, although this Venerable Rift Abyss is from the demon race, it is said that he spends most of his time fighting against the mechanical race, and his conflicts with the human race are not many.

"Alright." Lin Yuan waved his hand and took all the treasures. "Since you're so sensible, I'll let you off this time."

"Thank you, Venerable Chaos!" Venerable Rift Abyss felt as if he had been granted a pardon and thanked him repeatedly.

Although he felt a pang of heartache, he knew that he was already incredibly lucky to have survived.

If he were to truly fight the Chaos Venerable, even if he self-destructed, he would not be able to harm the opponent in the slightest; instead, he would perish completely.

At that time, not only were the treasures lost, but the tribe also had to spend a lot of resources to revive itself.

It's already pretty good as it is. He still has some savings in his account, which he can use to exchange for a few ordinary treasures when he gets back. Although his combat power will definitely be weakened, he can only make do with it for now.

Lin Yuan ignored Venerable Lieyuan and turned around to collect all the dozen or so light orbs on the plaza.

These are all top-tier treasures, along with a few relatively precious auxiliary treasures, with a total value of approximately 5 treasure points.

"Including Venerable Rift Abyss and the others, the harvest from this level is about 65 Treasure Points." Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

This is only the second level, and the rewards are already so plentiful. If I could fight my way to the seventh level...

A hint of anticipation flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes as he stepped into the teleportation passage leading to the third floor.

……

Xuantian Hall, third floor.

The space remained the same, but the number of light orbs in the square decreased again, this time to only seven in total, but the fluctuations they emitted were all at the level of ordinary treasures.

The opponent on this level has not yet appeared, so Lin Yuan can only continue to wait patiently within the barrier constructed by the temple according to the rules.

About half a day later, ripples appeared in the space, and a figure appeared at the other end of the square.

He was a middle-aged man about three meters tall, wearing silver armor. He had a resolute face and a sharp aura, but the fatigue from the battle was undeniable.

"Golden Kirin Venerable." Lin Yuan recognized the other party's identity.

This is the cosmic overlord of the human race's cosmic star bank lineage. Although his strength is not as great as Lin Yuan's, he is still quite famous among the human race.

Golden Qilin Venerable also saw Lin Yuan, paused slightly, and then smiled wryly, "Chaos Venerable, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Lin Yuan cupped his hands and said, "Golden Kirin Venerable."

Since both are human, it's impossible for them to attack each other directly as they would with other races.

After a moment of contemplation, Venerable Jinqi said, "Venerable Chaos, with your strength, you have a great chance of entering the seventh level to compete for the Xuan Tian Tyrant Dragon Armor. I know I am no match for you, so I will give you this opportunity."

"However..." He looked at the treasures on the plaza, "Could I take one or two of these treasures? That would make the trip worthwhile."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan waved his hand, and all seven treasures on the plaza flew to his front.

With a sweep of his divine sense, he quickly obtained information about these treasures.

All seven items are common treasure weapons, with values ​​ranging from 1 to 3 treasure points, for a total value of approximately 12 treasure points.

"Golden Qilin Venerable, take three items," Lin Yuan said, pushing the treasures in front of him. "I'll take the rest."

These items are indeed very valuable to ordinary universe overlords, but for him, they only serve one purpose: to be handed over to the clan's treasury. Moreover, he spent two treasure points to buy the Xuan Tian Crystal, so giving the other party an extra treasure weapon is a way of thanking them for their willingness to make way.

Golden Qilin Venerable was slightly taken aback, then laughed and said, "Chaos Venerable is very magnanimous."

Without any hesitation, he selected two supreme weapons that matched his attributes and added them to his world ring.

"I'll take the remaining five items." Lin Yuan put away the remaining treasures.

The two smiled at each other, and then Lin Yuan stepped into the passage leading to the fourth floor.

……

Xuantian Hall, fourth floor.

The space remained the same, but the number of light clusters in the square had decreased to only three. However, the fluctuations emitted by each cluster reached the level of a high-grade treasure, with a value of at least 10 treasure points.

The light barrier in front of him had not yet dissipated, meaning that his opponent had not yet appeared. Therefore, he could not collect the treasure for the time being and could only continue to wait patiently.

According to the rules of the Xuantian Palace, three powerful individuals will be teleported into this level. After the light curtain dissipates, a three-way battle will unfold, and only the final victor can enter the next level.

If three powerful individuals are not gathered within five days, the light barrier will automatically dissipate, and Lin Yuan can then directly take the treasure.

"I wonder who I'll run into on this floor," Lin Yuan thought to himself.

For thousands of years, he had been feeling stifled on the original planet. Alien powerhouses would run away at the sight of him, and it had been a long time since he had a proper fight.

"I wonder who I'll run into on this floor," Lin Yuan thought to himself.

hum-

Half a day later, ripples appeared in the space.

Lin Yuan looked up and saw a huge figure appear out of thin air.

It was a dragon nearly twenty kilometers long, its entire body covered in dark blue scales, and its golden vertical pupils gleamed with a cold light.

Demon race, the lineage of the dragon—Lord Jiaoyun!

Lin Yuan's pupils contracted, and a chilling killing intent rose from the bottom of his heart.

He was all too familiar with Venerable Jiaoyun.

Back when he was crowned king, this cosmic overlord of the Jiaolong lineage repeatedly sent troops to ambush and kill him.

Later, when he returned from the inheritance of the Blazing Cloud God General, the latter personally led two Universe Venerables to invade the human territory and launch an attack on him at the Star Anchor Station in the Crimson Flame Secret Realm.

Although it was only his divine power clone that perished that time, he always remembered this grudge.

"Venerable Jiaoyun".

Lin Yuan uttered the name in a low voice, his tone flat, but the killing intent within it was undisguised.

At this moment, Venerable Jiaoyun also saw Lin Yuan.

His golden vertical pupils suddenly contracted, and his enormous dragon body trembled slightly.

"Chaos... Chaos Venerable!"

Venerable Jiaoyun's voice was trembling.

He would never forget the fear he felt when he saw the intelligence about the battle in Thunderfire Canyon—six top overlords and more than ten cosmic overlords of equal strength to himself had been wiped out by this person in front of him!

Even beings like Blood Flame Venerable and Flame Dragon Venerable died at his hands, how could he possibly be a match for him?

What made him even more desperate was that Chaos Venerable would never forget the time he chased after the other party.

"It's over." This was the only thought left in Venerable Jiaoyun's mind.

He instinctively stepped back, the massive dragon's body casting a long shadow across the plaza.

Just then, a third figure appeared at the other end of the square.

It was a giant ape with a body length of over 30,000 kilometers, its entire body covered in dark golden fur, each hair like a towering pillar, radiating a chilling aura.

His mere presence caused the surrounding space to subtly distort.

The Starry Sky Beast Alliance, with its top overlord—Golden Sky Venerable.

Upon seeing Lin Yuan, Venerable Jinqiong's expression turned serious.

He had met many powerful figures in the Starry Sky Beast Alliance and had also heard of the infamous reputation of the Chaos Venerable.

The battle at Thunderfire Canyon, in which he slew six top overlords, made this unparalleled genius of the human race famous throughout the entire primordial universe.

The Golden Sky Venerable has a massive divine body, but his genetic level is far inferior to those special life forms. Therefore, although he considers himself to be quite strong, he is only on par with the Evil Blood Flame Venerable and the Flame Dragon Venerable.

Five top overlords joined forces and were all wiped out. If he were to face the Chaos Venerable alone, his fate would be unimaginable.

What made him even more wary was the rumor that the Chaos Venerable possessed a top-tier palace-type treasure.

Once the other party hides inside the palace and continues to harass you, you can forget about entering the next level.

With the Chaos Venerable's reserves of divine power and the Flame Sky Palace's defenses, the two sides might not be able to determine a winner even after several hundred years. Moreover, the Xuan Tian Palace's opening time is limited, and he doesn't want to waste time here.

When Venerable Jiaoyun saw Venerable Jinqiong, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, and he quickly sent a telepathic message requesting to join forces.

Venerable Golden Vault glanced at him but did not respond.

Joining forces? Even if the two of them joined forces, they still wouldn't be a match for the Chaos Venerable.

The battle at Thunderfire Canyon has proven that such beings cannot be defeated by sheer numbers.

Moreover, he had no connection with Venerable Jiaoyun, so why should he take this risk for a demon clan venerable?

Venerable Jinqiong glanced at Venerable Jiaoyun, then at Lin Yuan, and had already made up his mind.

"Chao Chaos Venerable," he spoke first, with a touch of politeness, "I have long admired your name."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly, but his gaze remained fixed on Venerable Jiaoyun, showing no interest in this top overlord of the Starry Sky Beast Alliance.

He recognized the other party's identity and coveted the treasures on his body, but the Starry Sky Beast's divine body was enormous. Although he had brought a part of the Azure Dragon clone to replenish his divine power, it would not be wise to expend it all here. Therefore, he let him go.

Seeing that the other party had no intention of making a move, Venerable Jinqiong breathed a sigh of relief and tactfully said, "Venerable Chaos, we can discuss the ownership of the treasure later. Apart from that, we have nothing to do with each other, how about it?"

Lin Yuan glanced at him and nodded slightly: "Alright."

Venerable Jinqiong was overjoyed and was about to say something more when he saw that the other party's gaze had already turned to Venerable Jiaoyun.

"However, before that, I need to settle some personal scores first."

The Golden Vault Venerable understood immediately, and with a flash, he retreated to the edge of the square to watch the show from afar.

He didn't want to get involved in this.

Seeing this scene, Venerable Jiaoyun felt even more desperate.

He knew that today was likely to be a terrible day.

Azure Realm, Netherworld Halberd, Azure Scale Armor... one treasure after another floated in front of him, with a total value of over 80 Treasure Points.

This was his accumulation over countless eons, yet he took it all out without hesitation.

"Is that enough?" Venerable Jiaoyun asked in a trembling voice, "If you are willing to spare my life, all these treasures are yours."

He was naturally unwilling to accept this, but even if he didn't hand over these items, the other party could still obtain them after killing him, while he would still have to bear the debt incurred upon resurrection. Therefore, he should try to minimize his losses.

Lin Yuan looked at the numerous treasures floating in front of him, then glanced at the once arrogant venerable master of the Flood Dragon lineage, and sneered inwardly.

When he was weak, his opponents regarded him as an ant, killing him or chasing him at will.

Now that he's powerful, the other party has finally learned their lesson.

"Jiaoyun," Lin Yuan spoke, his voice calm as still water, "When you sent people to hunt me down back then, did you ever imagine this day would come?"

Venerable Jiaoyun was sweating profusely and dared not answer.

"When you later personally invaded human territory to kill me, did you ever imagine this day would come?"

Venerable Jiaoyun trembled all over, but still dared not speak.

"Now you want me to let you go?"

Lin Yuan sneered, raised the Burning Heaven Spear, and pointed the tip at his opponent.

Do you think it's possible?

Despair flashed in Venerable Jiaoyun's eyes; he knew that things could not end well today.

"Since you insist on annihilating us, then I will fight you to the death!" He frantically burned his divine power, about to self-destruct.

However, would Lin Yuan give him that chance?

"Self-destruct in front of me?"

Lin Yuan snorted coldly, and an invisible soul impact suddenly erupted.

"Soul Slaughter - Town!"

Jiaoyun Venerable's consciousness instantly fell into chaos, and the process of self-destruction was forcibly interrupted.

Lin Yuan thrust out with his spear!

"Flame Flash - Soul Burning!"

The spear's edge pierced the space between the brows of Venerable Jiaoyun, and the light in his golden vertical pupils quickly dimmed.

Moments later, the soul of this powerful dragon lineage who had traversed the universe for countless epochs was completely annihilated.

Venerable Jiaoyun has fallen!

The Golden Sky Venerable, who was watching from the sidelines, felt a slight chill in his heart upon seeing this scene.

Although Venerable Jiaoyun was just an ordinary overlord, he had been famous for billions of epochs, yet he couldn't even self-destruct in front of Venerable Chaos. The difference in their abilities was astonishing.

With a thought, all the treasures on his body fell off.

Azure Realm, Netherworld Halberd, Azure Scale Armor... one treasure after another floated in front of him, with a total value of over 80 Treasure Points.

This was his accumulation over countless eons, yet he took it all out without hesitation.

"Is that enough?" Venerable Jiaoyun asked in a trembling voice, "If you are willing to spare my life, all these treasures are yours."
