Swallowing the Stars: The Birth of a Cosmic God King

The voice just fell.

The venue was deathly silent.

Li Qingyue's face turned deathly pale instantly.

"Li Yifeng violated the ironclad rules first, including trespassing into restricted areas and exploring extraterrestrial ruins without authorization; each of these acts is a capital offense."

"Yan Ning killed him by exercising the rights and obligations of every Azure Warrior. This is Article 137 of the Azure Charter, which no one may violate."

"As for Yan Ning's status as a councilor and his reserve qualification for the War God Palace... not only should he not be stripped of them, but he should be commended instead."

A martial artist who can break through from a novice warrior to a novice war god in just over a year, a martial artist who dares to stand up and uphold the ironclad rules—that's the kind of person Azure truly needs!

"Inspector Qin—" Li Chongshan's voice was somewhat urgent.

"I've said my piece."

Qin Mufeng didn't look at him, his gaze sweeping over everyone present. "Does anyone have any objections?"

An invisible pressure spread out, causing the air to freeze.

No one speaks.

Li Qingyue gritted her teeth, her face turning ashen.

Li Chongshan clenched his fist, his knuckles turning white.

But they all knew that once Qin Mufeng spoke, there was no room for negotiation.

The decision of the head of the six inspectors is irreversible on Azure Star.

"The meeting is adjourned."

Qin Mufeng stood up and walked out of the venue without looking back.

......

Outside the venue.

Li Qingyue and Li Chongshan stood side by side, both of them looking very unwell.

"Why is Qin Mufeng protecting him?" Li Qingyue's anger was almost overflowing.

"have no idea."

"But since he's spoken up, we can't just come openly."

"If open tactics don't work, then we'll do it covertly. He's just a novice war god; he'll eventually find himself alone!"

Li Chongshan remained silent and nodded.

The two turned and left, their figures disappearing at the end of the corridor.

The pain of killing one's own child—this debt must be settled!

......

After Inspector Qin spoke, all the commotion was abruptly suppressed.

No matter how powerful the Li family was, it couldn't compare to the gun in Inspector Qin's hand. Moreover, after those words, the Li family dared not make any move.

As things stand, with the Primordial Era fading away, the Qin Inspector General is like the blue sky!

Therefore, the Li family quickly backed down and even issued a public apology, putting on a grand show and daring not to disobey in the slightest.

At least, lie low for now.

We'll wait for the right opportunity to strike!

......

A month later.

Yan Ning stood in the training room, holding an alloy battle knife, the blade shimmering with a faint aura of primal energy.

He kept his eyes closed, his body slightly leaning forward, maintaining the posture of drawing his knife, and hadn't moved for a full hour.

He is waiting.

Waiting for that faint glimmer of inspiration.

"Nine Blades of Meteorite Ink," a secret technique of the Hengxing rank.

Even with system optimizations that supposedly significantly lower the entry barrier, the Star Rank is still the Star Rank; it can't be easily fooled by the word "quick success."

Over the past month.

Yan Ning spends six hours every day practicing swordsmanship, rehearsing the starting move, sword movement, and finishing stance of the nine forms no less than ten thousand times, until the movements are etched into his muscle memory.

But to truly get started, I'm still a long way off.

It's not just about being skilled in the movements.

The key lies in understanding the essence of the sword!

The first move: Cut off the flow.

The knife cuts through flowing water, but its purpose is not to cut the water itself, but to sever the flow of the water.

What's needed isn't brute force, but rather the ability to grasp the "momentum".

Yan Ning knew that this kind of understanding could not be rushed.

He didn't intend to work behind closed doors either.

Ultimately, swordsmanship requires drawing blood. No matter how well you practice in the training room, it's not as profound as cutting off a real head on the battlefield.

suddenly.

My heart skipped a beat.

It comes from the deepest stirrings of the soul.

Moyun vine!

Yan Ning suddenly opened his eyes, his consciousness sinking into the system space.

The emerald green cocoon, which had been dormant for nearly two months, was now trembling violently.

The golden patterns on the surface seemed to come alive, flowing endlessly, and the light grew brighter and brighter.

The entire cocoon seemed to be ignited from the inside, with intense emerald green flames bursting out from the cracks!

click-

A crisp cracking sound.

The cocoon broke.

A brand new cloud vine unfurled from the fragments.

Its size has shrunk considerably since it fell asleep.

It shrank from the size of a small car to the size of a washbasin, but Yan Ning could feel that its energy density had increased many times over.

Like a piece of steel that has been repeatedly forged.

The volume becomes smaller.

But the texture becomes denser and more durable!

"Mo Yun," Yan Ning called out mentally.

The vines danced merrily, like a puppy that had just woken up, wrapping around Yan Ning's arm and rubbing against it affectionately.

A clear thought came through.

"Master, I've broken through! Planetary Rank!"

Yan Ning's heart skipped a beat.

Planetary level!

On the entire Blue Star, the strongest human martial artist is only at the Planetary Rank.

And now.

He possessed a planetary-level combat life form!

But before Yan Ning could even rejoice, Mo Yun Teng sent another thought, carrying a hint of grievance.

"Master... I'm so hungry, I'm starving! I need lots of nutrients!"

Yan Ning couldn't help but laugh.

Hungry?

Of course I'm hungry.

Having absorbed the life essence of the peak-level Hengxing-rank Moyun Vine, it soared from the Apprentice rank all the way to the Planet rank. No wonder it was hungry.

"Don't rush."

"I'll go out and find you some food these next couple of days. There are so many monster lords out there, you'll have plenty to eat."

The tendrils of the Moyun vine swayed even more joyfully, and began to dance.

"By the way, I'll also go out and practice my swordsmanship." Yan Ning's eyes were sharp. "Swordsmanship requires seeing blood to gain a deeper understanding."

Just as Yan Ning was about to pack his things, his communication watch vibrated.

News about Zhou Zhengyuan.

【Young friend Yan, you still need to be careful lately. Although Inspector Qin has spoken, no one can be sure what the Li family is thinking.】

As long as you're alive, they won't dare to act openly.

But if something happens to you, even if the Li family is completely wiped out afterward, it won't bring you back to life. Remember, never let your guard down.

After reading it, Yan Ning replied:

[I understand, thank you for reminding me, Speaker.]

The message has just been sent.

Zhou Zhengyuan sent another message:

By the way, if you need practical training, you can consider going to Kunlun Base City. That's the territory guarded by Inspector Qin, and the reach of the Great Northern Wilderness doesn't extend that far.

Furthermore, the density and strength of the monsters there are higher than in Nanjiang, making it a good place for training. I've already spoken to them about it; you can just go directly to the council hall when you get there.

Yan Ning's eyes lit up.

Kunlun Base City, the territory of the Qin Inspector General.

With that planetary-level powerhouse in charge, even if the Li family had the greatest courage, they wouldn't dare to make a move there.

Moreover, the monsters there are more numerous and stronger, which is perfect for Moyun Vine to feed on and for him to hone his swordsmanship.

Get more in one fell swoop.

Thank you so much, Speaker! Words cannot express my gratitude!

[Just come back alive, that's enough]

Yan Ning put away his communication watch and began to arrange things at home.

Shen Yao was with her daughter.

Zhao Zixuan has just finished her postpartum confinement period.

Su Wanqing was more than a month pregnant. There were three women, one child, and Zhao Tieshan, who was unconscious in the hospital.

Yan Ning hired two professional nurses and asked Zhao Meng, Sun Haoran, Lin Xiaowan and others to help take care of her.

After everything was arranged.

Yan Ning packed his bags and left Nanjiang Base City.

"The Li family has come knocking?"

"Moyun Vine has broken through to the planetary level. As long as I don't do anything reckless, I can really go anywhere above the Azure Sky."

Yan Ning had naturally made ample preparations.

soon.

His figure disappeared beyond the sky.
