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

Welcome to Cola Novels! A vast collection of novels awaits your exploration!

The Ninth Battlefield Outside the Territory, Base No. 039.

The Phantom Feather Squad, having just finished their rest, discussed their future development plans in a tavern that catered exclusively to immortal gods.

The private room was completely silent.

Finally, Lin Yuan, who convened the meeting, broke the silence.

After scanning everyone's expressions, he had a better understanding of the situation, so he slowly said, "I think our team's current strength is enough to enter a higher-level combat zone, so I would like to ask the captain and everyone's opinions."

"I have no objection. With the vice-captain's Fierce Fist combined with the captain's Soul Attack, we've even killed alien powerhouses at the peak of the Marquis level. Even on higher-level battlefields, as long as we avoid King-level powerhouses, the team's gains will be even greater."

The one who spoke was Huang Liman. His strength had not improved much in the past tens of thousands of years, so after Ye Fan broke through to the advanced level of the Marquis title, he handed over the position of vice captain to him.

Now, Ye Fan, like Captain Huan Linghou, gets 25% of the spoils each time, and the rest is divided among the five of them.

Although the distribution ratio has decreased significantly compared to before, after Ye Fan joined the team, the Illusion Feather Squad basically changed its hunting targets from Immortal Army Lords to Marquis-level powerhouses. Overall, the wealth they received was still much more than before, so Huang Liman and Freya had no objections.

"That's true." Freya agreed. "Our team is already a force to be reckoned with near the Xuan Yan Continent. Even the poorest alien teams have bought higher-level detectors. In the last 20,000 years, we've encountered fewer and fewer people."

Huanxin, who had also broken through to the advanced level of the Marquis title, chimed in, "Sister Freya is right. We haven't encountered a single Marquis from another race in nearly ten thousand years. It's obvious they're deliberately avoiding us. There's no point in us staying on the Xuan Yan Continent any longer."

"And..." she said softly after glancing at Lin Yuan, who was smiling, "Brother Ye Fan has absorbed several of the various strange flames here, so it's time to help him find some other flames that can enhance his strength."

Now that I have even clones, it would be a waste not to cultivate some dangerous and special techniques.

Therefore, Lin Yuan used the Burning Technique, which can absorb strange flames to grow, as a base, and transformed it into a secret technique that can be cultivated in the Swallowed Star World through his enlightenment function.

The principle is to continuously absorb special flames that can threaten immortal powerhouses, and use the original laws contained within them to enhance one's own understanding of the laws. The stronger the flame, the greater the improvement.

After absorbing all the flames near the Xuan Yan Continent, his clone had already explored all the different combinations of laws, and could even fuse three lower-level laws at the same time. Any more than that would cause him to lose control and stability.

If it weren't for his inadequate understanding of the fundamental laws of space, Lin Yuan might have been able to complete the fusion of the Fire and Space Paths with his rich experience in law fusion, and leap to the top of the Universe Lord through the Path of the Beast God!

"Captain, what are you thinking?" Lin Yuan asked again.

The Nan Yue and Nan Xing brothers rarely voice their opinions due to their limited strength, so the only obstacle to changing the battlefield was Huan Ling Hou.

But to be honest, Lin Yuan is now quite powerful, and he can live well even if he ventures into the outer battlefield alone. If the other party really disagrees, then he will have no choice but to leave the team.

Fortunately, although the captain is not very assertive, he is never indecisive when it comes to making decisions.

Marquis Huanling slammed his hand on the table and said solemnly, "Very well, let's leave the Xuan Yan Continent!"

"Within the entire 039th Barracks base's radiation zone, there is only one place with a higher combat level than the Xuan Yan Continent."

He waved his hand, opening a star map, and pointed to a region that appeared desolate and lifeless: "The Five-Phase Cyclone Sector!"

The Five-Phase Cyclone Sector is one of the most dangerous places in the Ninth Battlefield, where the mortality rate remains at around 98.5% year-round.

Even powerful Marquis-level warriors with immortal bodies often perish here, making it an extremely dangerous place comparable to the Star Tower area of ​​the Seventh Domain Outer Battlefield and the Twin Spiral Domain.

The reason is quite simple: there are a lot of King-level experts in the Five-Phase Spiral Meteor Sector. Nearly three thousand King-level experts are distributed in a small area with a diameter of thirty light-years. It is an exaggeration to say that you can encounter a King-level expert with every step you take, but it is no exaggeration to say that everyone who has been in this area for more than ten thousand years has seen a King-level expert.

This place was originally the habitat of five ordinary tribes. Coincidentally, the locations of these tribes were distributed in the order of the five elements generating each other, but the powers awakened by the members of the tribes were arranged in the reverse order of the five elements counteracting each other.

For example, in places where metal-attribute treasures abound, the innate secret techniques of the races living there are mostly based on the fundamental laws of earth; while in places where wood-attribute energy is abundant, the races living there have comprehended the fundamental laws of metal...

Therefore, the five tribes negotiated in order to obtain territories that suited their preferences.

Everything was going smoothly, and they agreed to migrate to the areas they wanted to go.

But something happened along the way, and they accused each other of betrayal, and war soon broke out.

Various types of energy intertwined in the star sector, gradually turning it into a desolate wasteland permeated with the five elements of energy. Dangerous magnetic divine light was everywhere, making the star sector completely uninhabitable. Therefore, they had no choice but to move to other places.

However, the danger is relative to the weak.

Teams that dare to enter the Five-Phase Meteor Sector are basically all immortal gods. Even if there are a few World Lords, they are all peerless geniuses who have emerged from competitions like the human race's genius battle.

These terrifying elemental magnetic energies posed little threat to them; on the contrary, they were a good source of resources for quickly restoring divine power, which is why many immortal gods gathered here.

Of course, this is actually a secondary factor. The most important factor is that the Venerables who were in charge of opening up the Ninth Battlefield left a prophecy that the overall cosmic energy of the Five Phases Spiral Meteor Zone was abnormally rich, and that a naturally born treasure might be born nearby in the future!

This is why there are so many powerful beings who have reached the Five Phases Meteor Zone.

In this region, the most terrifying thing is not encountering a King-level expert, because they are basically restricted and will not attack teams that have not yet reached the King-level Immortal realm, otherwise they will be besieged by other races.

The most important thing to pay attention to are the realm lords who appear here. They are all geniuses of their respective races, and challenging those of higher levels is as easy for them as eating and drinking.

They may not be as wealthy and powerful as Luo Feng, who would directly use precious Femo venom to kill a large number of alien king-level experts, but they definitely have something similar on hand. When they are driven into a desperate situation, that will be the time of your own demise!

……

A thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.

After arriving in the Five-Phase Cyclone Sector, the Phantom Feather Squad's wealth accumulation speed returned to the level it was when Lin Yuan had just joined the team.

The Xuan Yan Continent has only a few thousand marquises in total, but nearly a hundred of them have perished in just 100,000 years. This has frightened other teams, so they try every means to avoid the Huan Ling Team.

However, there are over 300,000 powerful individuals here, and many die every day. The teams that dare to come are well-prepared and are not afraid of the Illusion Feather Team.

Here, their titles are less intimidating compared to those of powerful kings.

On this day, the Phantom Feather Squad had just wiped out a squad led by a high-level alien Marquis, while 2.8 million kilometers away from their spaceship, a jet-black spherical object was slowly flying in the starry sky.

Its diameter reaches one kilometer, making the Phantom Feather Squad's spaceship seem tiny in comparison.

Its exterior is made of a reinforced biological carapace, with densely packed holes on the surface, which serve as both its tunnels and ejection ports.

Clearly, this is a rare Zerg hive. Judging from its size, its owner should only be a minor figure at the level of a Realm Lord.

Inside the nest, in a special rest area, sat countless figures of various appearances.

Some of them were mantis-shaped insects, mostly blue, and they remained collectively silent, motionless like robots that had not received any instructions.

There were also some mantises with dark red carapaces. They were much smaller and thinner than the blue mantises, with scarlet compound eyes. They were walking around in the rest area, seemingly counting the number of the former.

Insects are so small that people don't realize how scary they are, but once they grow into towering giants...

The densely packed compound eyes are a blessing for those with trypophobia, while the biological weapons covering the body can make anyone who sees them feel hairy all over.

Unfortunately, each mantis here is several meters tall, and even the best pest control experts would have to flee in terror.

In the center of the lounge, the only humanoid creature in the hive was holding a wine glass and leisurely sipping his drink.

She was an extremely beautiful woman, the kind of beauty that you would remember at first glance.

His facial features are three-dimensional and delicate, with a high and small nose bridge and well-shaped lips. Her lips were slightly upturned, as if she had a lazy and casual smile.

Her eyes were a deep amber color, bright as if they contained starlight, and when her eyelashes trembled, they looked like the wings of a butterfly about to take flight.

Her skin was almost ivory white, with a healthy, faint rosy hue, and still shone with a delicate glow under dim lighting.

Her long chestnut hair was casually draped over her shoulders, with a few strands clinging to her neck, outlining her slender and graceful swan neck.

She is tall and well-proportioned, possessing both feminine curves and a sharp, energetic spirit. She is full of free and vibrant vitality, radiant and captivating, and utterly unashamed.

If this were in the outside world, even immortal gods would be deeply attracted to such a beauty.

But if you encounter her on the battlefield outside the domain, especially when she is guarded by several giant Zerg elite warriors who are over twenty meters tall, even a Marquis or Immortal would have to run away!

She is Vikona, the Zerg Queen, the executioner who ravaged the Ninth Battlefield.

Many teams led by Marquis-level experts from the three top clans were wiped out by her, and even newly promoted King-level experts did not want to confront her.

If the team does not have an illusionist whose mental will has reached the high level of the King rank, then fighting against them will be a pure loss.

No one wants to trade their precious divine power for the corpses of billions of world lord-level insects!

"Lady Vecona!"

A mantis over twenty meters long suddenly said, "The scout bug just sent a message that a spaceship has been discovered 2.8 million kilometers away. Upon investigation, it turns out to be the Phantom Feather Squad, who recently arrived here."

"Oh?" Vicona raised an eyebrow, then lazily uttered, "Move over there and let the children have some snacks."

"But... Lady Vikona!"

Anyone here would be astonished, for they could clearly discern a worried expression on the face of an insect.

The Mantis Hunter stammered, "According to intelligence from within the clan, the Illusion Feather Squad has one peak-level Marquis and one advanced-level Marquis illusionist. You'll be in danger if you get too close."

"What danger?" Vikona asked nonchalantly. "I'm just one step away from breaking through to the King level. What can they use to control and enslave me?"

Moreover, the three marquis-level guards bestowed upon me by the clan are no pushovers; they'll be overwhelmed by the children before they even reach me!

Each Queen can produce a large number of warriors, so the Zerg usually arrange for a Queen who has broken through to send several Immortal-level elite warriors to protect talented offspring.

Even if those warriors fall, they can be quickly recreated, so there is no need to worry about losses. Therefore, each World Lord-level Queen can basically be equipped with several high-level guards, which is the reason why they are difficult to kill.

Vicona clearly shared this confidence, impatiently swatting the talking mantis aside: "Stop dawdling! If you weren't somewhat strong and had some brains, I would have sent you back to the furnace long ago!"

Using her telekinesis to change the direction of the mother hive, she licked her lips excitedly: "Who cares about any squad, just go straight for them!"
