Swallowing the Stars: Start with an Enlightenment System

Fortunately, the one-eyed old man's strength was nothing special.

It was easier to resolve than I had expected.

"Why did you attack me during my last chance?"

"Yes... Yunhai Society... hired me to kill you..." the old man replied haltingly.

"Yunhai Society? Okay, I understand."

Baiyuan nodded, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"You can die in peace now."

Before he finished speaking, the Moyun Vine wrapped around the old man suddenly tightened!

The crushing power surged, instantly crushing the already broken body completely.

After dealing with the one-eyed old man, Baiyuan turned his gaze to the guards lying on the ground.

The guard trembled all over, clearly convinced that he was doomed.

But what he heard next delighted him.

"You can leave now. Go back and tell your supervisor I'm going to file a complaint against him with the Consumer Association!"

Baiyuan withdrew the vines, his tone indifferent.

At this point, killing one more insignificant guard would be pointless.

Moreover, this person is only at the second level of the Hengxing realm, and his strength is far inferior to that of the one-eyed old man. He is probably a puppet controlled by the mind.

The guards, feeling as if they had been granted a pardon, scrambled away from the scene without even daring to look back.

"Master, the complaint information has been sent to the Tian Sha Xing Consumer Association's public complaint channels."

Xingwu's voice suddenly rang in Baiyuan's ears.

"Oh? There really is a consumer association? I was just saying that offhand."

Xingwu added, "According to publicly available information on the local internet, the Tian Sha Xing Consumer Association was established 30,000 years ago. It was jointly initiated by the Xuanming Domain Lord and six other domain lord-level powerhouses, and its main function is to mediate commercial disputes and service complaints."

"Although it has limited constraints on domain lord-level powerhouses, it at least has a certain degree of fairness on the surface."

Bai Yuan suddenly realized that there was more than just the Xuanming Domain Lord among the domain lords on Tian Sha Star.

However, without a doubt, the Lord of Xuanming Domain is definitely the strongest one.

Baiyuan put away the one-eyed old man's storage ring, and Moyun Teng changed back into his battle armor to cover his entire body.

Just as he stepped out the door, he immediately felt a powerful mental force lock onto him.

"Cosmic level!" Bai Yuan frowned.

However, he was not too afraid. As a formal citizen of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire and a member of the Blade Clan, he was only afraid if the other party was a complete madman.

Otherwise, even a cosmic-level powerhouse would never dare to openly attack him.

At the same time, the supervisor in another location also had a slight change in expression.

"The Poison Nightmare is dead? Could it have been a cosmic-level being?!"

Although Poison Nightmare is only at the ninth level of the Hengxing realm, he is proficient in soul attacks, and with the shady deals he has made over the years, his wealth is considerable.

Not only is it equipped with a Tier 3 Force Battle Suit, but it also contains several treasures kept hidden away.

Under normal circumstances, even when facing elites carefully cultivated by powerful forces, one should not die so quickly.

In fact, if Bai Yuan's battle blade hadn't been a mid-grade third-tier Origin Force weapon, and if he hadn't also possessed a ninth-tier Hengxing Moyun Vine, coupled with the unexpected sneak attack, it would have been quite a struggle to deal with a veteran powerhouse like Du Yan.

After all, he was an old monster who had lived for thousands of years. Who knew what kind of deadly moves he might be hiding?

"Master, the Consumer Association has replied. Would you like to check it now?"

Xingwu's voice suddenly rang out.

Baiyuan clicked on the message, and the content was concise and clear:

"The complaint has been accepted and a specialist has been dispatched to the site for investigation."

"So efficient?" Bai Yuan seemed slightly surprised.

Meanwhile, the commotion in the villa area had already attracted the attention of nearby residents, and the news spread rapidly.

Whoosh!

A sudden gust of low wind pressure descended, and a man dressed in a light purple robe with skin that glowed purple was seen hovering in mid-air, standing on a colossal beast.

The behemoth was over three hundred meters tall, with eight transparent wings as thin as cicada wings on its back, and its entire body was covered with a ghostly green leather. It exuded a terrifying cosmic-level pressure.

"We are so sorry to have disturbed everyone. We will handle this matter properly, so please rest assured."

The purple-robed man, who was also the supervisor of this area, spoke calmly, his voice carrying far and wide. He then floated down from the back of the giant beast and landed in front of Bai Yuan.

He bowed slightly, his tone apologetic: "May I speak to you in private?"

Bai Yuan nodded first, then turned his gaze to the giant beast and asked with great interest:

"You tamed this behemoth? Its strength is quite remarkable; it has already broken through to the cosmic level."

In the vast universe, beast taming is considered a popular profession.

Not only can ordinary demons be tamed, but even giant star beasts can be tamed.

Although the latter is extremely difficult, it can mostly only be done from the infancy stage.

For example, the Golden Horn Clan once captured a Devastating Beast, but they were never able to subdue it.

The supervisor smiled faintly: "It was just luck. It took a lot of effort to barely cultivate it to the cosmic level."

As they spoke, the two of them leaped lightly and landed on the giant beast's broad, platform-like back.

The giant beast's cicada wings vibrated at a low frequency in the air, but did not cause any turbulence, clearly indicating that it had been tamed to an extremely docile degree.

boom!

The giant beast carried the two of them straight into the sky, until it was close to the edge of the planet and almost entered the void of space before slowly coming to a stop.

That's enough for now.

As soon as the supervisor finished speaking, the giant beast floated quietly, like a floating platform.

The supervisor turned to look at Baiyuan, his expression hesitant, as if there was something he couldn't say directly.

"Sigh, you've gotten yourself into trouble. Take my advice, leave now and never come back."

"Why?" Baiyuan's gaze narrowed slightly.

"As far as I know, although the Lord of Tiansha City is a direct descendant of the Lord of Tiansha Realm, the actual ruler of Tiansha Star has always been the Lord of Xuanming Domain. And the Lord of Xuanming Domain does not seem to be an autocratic person."

Before coming here, he had already learned about the situation in the area.

The Lord of Xuanming Domain has established many rules, intending to maintain order and protect the weak, and has always had a good reputation.

I can't be so unlucky as to run into another Blood Lord.

"That was before," the supervisor said, shaking his head in a somber tone.

"The current Lord of Xuanming Domain is very different. Sometimes I even doubt whether it is still the same person."

He paused, as if lost in some memory, then lowered his voice to remind him:

"Did you pass the message to the Consumer Association? Remember, don't trust any information they send you, and it's best to block their communication signals directly."

Bai Yuan was stunned. He had only come to participate in a trainee mercenary assessment. How could things have suddenly become so complicated?

Just as his mind was in turmoil, a system notification suddenly sounded:

[Mission issued: The Lord of Xuanming Domain is currently trapped in the Red Mountain World, surrounded by three layers of barriers. Please rescue the Lord of Xuanming Domain. Mission reward: 1 Enlightenment Point]

"Rescue the Lord of the Xuanming Domain? Then who is the 'Lord of the Xuanming Domain' who is currently stationed on the Heavenly Fiend Star?"

The system's task made Bai Yuan's heart tighten suddenly.

The true Lord of the Xuanming Domain was trapped in the Red Mountain World, which was supposed to be just a world for apprenticeship assessments!

Logically speaking, even if the world created by a realm lord is dangerous, it should never be able to trap a domain lord.

It seems likely that the Lord of Xuanming Domain was assassinated.

But if they could trap him, why not just kill him?

Clearly, there are many untold secrets behind this.
