Swallowing the Stars: Equipment Slots, Starting with a Genius Battle

Chapter 79 Ye Feng: Am I being looked down upon?

The Star King had considered dealing with that annoying Sky Domain King first.

However, due to the great distance, her soul attacks were either withstood by the Blue Wolf King as a human shield, or easily neutralized by the Sky Domain King's own divine power attacks.

Two against one, she was completely dominated and beaten to a pulp.

"My divine body has already dropped by almost 30%." King Huanxing was extremely anxious. "Once it falls below 30%, my strength will drop another level, and the chance of escaping will become even slimmer."

Her gaze swept over the Sky King, who was leisurely firing a sneak shot in the distance, then glanced at the grinning Blue Wolf King as he pressed closer. A chilling sense of despair began to spread through her. "Could it be—that I'm really going to die here today?"

That Azure Flame Secret Realm talisman was something she managed to snatch by sacrificing 18% of her divine body and killing a Zerg King. She thought she could slip away quietly, but those two demon beasts were right behind her, chasing her all the way to this remote Qiyi Starfield. In just one day, another 10% of her divine body evaporated.

Although she was raised under the protection of her teacher, Master Peng, and may have cultivated to the peak of the King level, she is definitely not stupid.

She knew very well that even if she surrendered and handed over the token now, the other party might not let her go.

More likely, they will force her to hand over all her assets.

Even if his divine body is damaged by more than 70% and even self-destruction cannot threaten the opponent, the Blue Wolf King will definitely not hesitate to kill him.

After all, killing a human at the peak of the King level would be a considerable military achievement and contribution from the demon race.

"Roar!"

In the instant that the Illusion Star King was distracted, the Azure Wolf King seemed to have completely lost patience, letting out a terrifying roar that shook even the fragments of stars. Its massive, mountain-like body suddenly compressed and solidified inward.

"Crackling and popping—" The bones and muscles exploded like thunder. Every hair stood on end.

In the blink of an eye, a powerful celestial wolf, only three kilometers long but with a body that looked as if it had been forged from azure divine gold and exuding a suffocating sense of oppression, suddenly appeared.

The Sirius Clan's innate secret technique—Divine Body Condensation.

Strength, speed, purity of divine power, and perception of space and time instantly rose to another level.

The already raging aura, pushed close to the limit of becoming a King by burning divine power, surged once more. Although it hadn't truly entered the invincible realm of becoming a King, it was very close.

"Woo—." After its aura surged once more, the Azure Wolf King let out a low growl from its throat, transforming into a streak of azure lightning that tore through the void, rushing straight towards the Illusion Star King.

"Oh no!" The Illusion Star King's pupils shrank sharply, and his wings flapped rapidly as if he were about to retreat.

"Buzz—." The Sky Domain King's spacetime interference, like a leech, landed precisely once again.

It was just a fraction of a second too slow.

"boom--

—"

The azure wolf claw, condensed to its fullest extent, slammed down on the Illusion Star King's crossed arms as he parried the attack.

The silver divine flames protecting her body exploded violently, flickering unpredictably like a candle in the wind.

The Illusion Star King was like a meteor struck by a star, flying backward in a silver streak, smashing through countless meteorite fragments along the way, and finally crashing through the core of a huge meteorite with a diameter of thousands of kilometers before barely managing to stabilize himself.

The aura of the divine body visibly weakened again.

The Star King's heart sank. He had destroyed 2% of her divine body with a single blow, and his own losses exceeded 30%.

"Pfft." The silver flames burning on her arm almost went out, her eyes filled with frustration and resentment: "Damn it."

She unleashed her divine power with all her might, breaking free once more from the shackles of that damned spacetime complex domain. She was filled with regret, "If only I had listened to Senior Brother Qianyun and teamed up with Fengwang!"

One-on-one?

She could crush the Sky Domain King like an insect. She could also beat the Blue Wolf King into a rout.

Can he take on two opponents at once?

The opponents were well-coordinated, one controlling the field and the other dealing damage; they were simply going to outmaneuver her with their divine strength, and she was completely outmatched.

"If—if only a human King could come along, even just an ordinary one, to help me hold back that damned Sky King—even if I'm not in good shape right now, I'm confident I can take down this dead wolf."

A strong sense of resentment surged within the King of Illusions.

Despite being stronger, they were dragged down by the enemy.

"Isn't 300 billion Chaos Yuan tempting enough?" While struggling to fend off the Azure Wolf King's relentless attacks, the Illusion Star King gritted his teeth and ordered the intelligent lifeform, "Light Spirit. Immediately update the distress message. Hold off the Demon Clan's King of the Sky Domain." The reward is increased to 500 billion Chaos Yuan per day.

"Yes, Master." The intelligent life form immediately complied.

After updating the message, King Huanxing knew that he had done all he could, and the rest was up to fate.

Money? Money is the last thing she lacks.

As a direct disciple of "Master Peng, the founder of Galaxy Universe Bank", 5000 billion Hunyuan is just pocket change for her, and she can easily come up with 500 billion.

Any more? Just borrow some from a few of my rich senior classmates.

At this point, whether human powerhouses would come to the rescue and stop a demon king was no longer a matter of Hunyuan.

Because 500 billion Chaos Yuan is enough to tempt even a King-level Limit cultivator to make a trip, as long as there are any human King-level cultivators nearby who receive the news, they will definitely come to provide support.

If not, then raising the price again would be pointless.

"Wow! The reward has increased to 500 billion mixed yuan?"

Ye Feng, who had already quietly traveled to a location only 2 million kilometers away from the location where the distress call was made, felt his heart leap into his throat.

"Just who is this Illusion Star King? How can he be so generous?" Ye Feng was both surprised and delighted. "This one job is several times more than my total earnings from hunting in the outer battlefields over the past eighty years."

"I need to hurry. I don't want some random person passing by to snatch the title of King." Ye Feng's heart pounded with anxiety.

Such a stroke of luck, like gold falling from the sky, is a once-in-a-lifetime event, even in the Eight Epochs.

"However—her sudden price increase suggests that the Qiyi Star Region is truly remote, with no other kings nearby. She's really desperate." Ye Feng instantly assessed the situation.

"Since the sponsor is so generous, we need to reassure him first." Considering the 500 billion yuan investment, Ye Feng felt it necessary to appease the anxious Illusion Star King.

He immediately sent a short message to the Illusion Star King through the virtual universe military merit system: "Illusion Star King, hold on. I'm coming right away." — Sword Blazing Marquis 500 billion Hunyuan.

Let alone holding off an ordinary Void King, Ye Feng would be willing to risk everything to drive the opponent away.

"Master. Someone has sent a message through the military merit system." The intelligent life form of the Illusion Star King's voice was light and cheerful, carrying a hint of surprise.

"Open it quickly!" King Huanxing was overjoyed. Could it be that reinforcements for the title of King had arrived?

The moment the news broke, the joy on Illusion Star King's pretty face froze, replaced by utter astonishment. "Sword Blaze Marquis??"

She had expected to receive reinforcements from humans who would grant her the title of king, but instead—all she received was a title of marquis.

The glimmer of hope that had just been ignited was instantly extinguished by the chilling despair.

Immortal title?

Even at the peak of the Marquis title, there is a qualitative difference between being a true King.

With Jian Zhihou here, let alone holding off Kongyu Wang, he might even be caught off guard by Qinglang Wang, who is burning his divine body and going all out, and be slapped into cosmic dust.
