Swallowing the Stars: The Birth of a Cosmic God King

The snowstorm has not stopped.

Yan Ning continued eastward, stepping on the thick ice.

The bodies of Li Chongshan and Li Qingyue have been covered by heavy snow, and the traces left by the six people on the ice field will soon be completely erased.

There are still many lord-level monsters on the frozen plateau.

Yan Ning drew his alloy battle sword and began slashing repeatedly.

With his planetary-level physical strength combined with the Nine Blades of Meteorite, he could kill lord-level monsters as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

The seventh, a B-rank lord, the Icefield Giant Wolf. It severed the wolf's throat with a single strike, sheathed its blade, stripped the materials, and began to feed on the Cloud Vine.

The whole process took less than two minutes.

The eighth, an A-rank lord, the Frosthorn Deer...

The ninth one, a B-rank lord, an ice-armored bear...

The tenth one, an A-level lord, a white-haired berserker bear.

The eleventh, a B-rank lord, the Ice Crystal Python.

The twelfth...

Yan Ning leaped up to dodge, and while still in mid-air, he swung his battle blade again, aiming at a polar ice dragon.

This strike was unlike any of the previous ones.

The trajectory of the blade is no longer a simple slash, but a more mysterious arc.

The silver halo that gathered on the blade transformed into a blade beam, extending half a meter from the tip.

The second move of the Nine Blades of Meteorite: Breaking Army!

A knife cutting through flowing water signifies severing the "momentum" or "force."

A single strike breaks through the enemy lines, severing the "formation"!

The formation of thousands of troops and the impregnable defenses were all as flimsy as paper before this one strike.

A silver blade of light slashed down from the top of the polar ice dragon's head, cleaving the fifty-meter-long behemoth in two from head to tail.

Yan Ning sheathed his sword and let out a long breath.

The second move: Success comes naturally!

Perhaps it was because he had just killed Li Chongshan and his wife, thus putting an end to some obsession in his heart.

Perhaps it was because he had killed more than a dozen lords on the frozen plateau that his sword intent had reached a critical point.

Anyway, I learned the second move.

"Good luck."

Each move of the Nine Blades of Meteorite is several times more powerful than the last.

The first move, "Severing the Flow," can cut off the "momentum," while the second move, "Breaking the Army," can break through the "formation."

Having learned the second move, his close-combat ability has at least doubled.

The Moyun Vine joyfully pounced on the corpse of the Arctic Ice Dragon, draining its life essence.

It seems they've already achieved around 20-30 billion.

Yan Ning was about to continue forward when he suddenly stopped.

He sensed that something was wrong.

The surrounding air has changed.

It's not a change in temperature.

The temperature has been consistently low.

It was an indescribable sense of oppression, as if something was watching him from the depths.

The tendrils of the Moyun Vine peeked out from the collar, trembling excitedly, emanating a strong will.

"Master, there's something good down there..."

Yan Ning frowned.

The Moyun Vine's perception of life energy and rare minerals far surpasses his; anything that excites it so much must be an ordinary material.

"lead the way."

The tendrils of the Moyun vine pointed in a direction deep within the ice layer.

Yan Ning walked in that direction and soon discovered a natural ice crevice.

The ice crevice extends downwards, its depths unfathomable, and a chilling wind rushes out from it, carrying a biting cold.

Without hesitation, Yan Ning leaped into the ice crevice.

underground.

The crevice was deeper than he had anticipated.

He climbed down the ice wall for nearly two kilometers. The width of the crevice varied, and in the narrowest places, he could only squeeze through sideways.

The Moyun Vine led the way, its golden veins glowing faintly in the darkness, illuminating the path ahead.

At a depth of five kilometers underground, the ice fissure turned into a narrow cave.

The cave walls were no longer ice, but a dark gray metal.

Yan Ning drew his battle sword and slashed it forcefully across the metal wall, leaving only a shallow white mark.

"What material is this made of?"

Yan Ning frowned.

His sword was made of A8 grade alloy, and even a full-force slash could only leave a mark; the hardness of this metal far exceeded his expectations.

Continue down.

Eight kilometers underground.

The cave became narrower, and the patterns on the metal walls became increasingly complex, resembling naturally formed mineral patterns.

Moyun Teng's excitement grew, and the vines trembled incessantly, urging Yan Ning to hurry up.

Fourteen kilometers underground.

Yan Ning's mental power finally reached that thing.

It was a crystal that emitted a beige light...

Embedded deep within the metal wall, enveloped by a thick layer of metallic minerals, it reveals only extremely faint energy fluctuations.

Muya Jing!

Yan Ning's breathing suddenly became rapid.

Not only that, there were also similar energy fluctuations nearby... a total of four Wood Sprout Crystals!

A single Wood Crystal allowed him to break through from an intermediate-level War God to the Planetary Rank.

Four...

What level can he break through to? Planetary Rank 2? Rank 3? Or even higher?

"Moyun, can you sense the exact location?"

The tendrils of the Moyun Vine pointed to a point on the metal wall, and a positive signal came from its mind.

Yan Ning took a deep breath, pulled out the blade from the curved cutter head, and began digging.

But the metal walls are too hard.

The blades of the curved blade disc are planetary-level weapons, incredibly sharp, but even they can barely cut through this unknown, extremely cold metal.

Cutting off even a small piece of metal requires a significant amount of mental energy.

Yan Ning had to release all the blades from the curved blade disc before his speed could be increased slightly.

Moyun Teng also joined the excavation.

Its vines can penetrate into the tiny cracks in metal, causing the metal walls to crack.

A second-tier planetary-level plant life form possesses terrifying power; the pressure generated when its vines extend is enough to flatten special alloys.

With the combined action of the Moyun Vine and the Arc Blade Disc, the metal wall finally began to loosen.

The first Wood Crystal was buried three meters deep within the metal wall.

It took Yan Ning a full six hours to dig it out completely.

The moment Mu Yajing touched him, a gentle and pure life energy surged from his palm into his body, nourishing his meridians and cells.

The feeling was even more wonderful than the first time he took it, because his body had adapted to the energy and was absorbing it more efficiently.

"One."

Yan Ning put the Muya Crystal into his system space, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "There are three left."

The second one was buried even deeper, five meters below the metal wall.

It took Yan Ning eight hours to dig it up.

Several of the Moyun Vine's vines were broken by the metal wall during the process, but they quickly grew back.

The third one is in an even more tricky position, embedded in the corner of the metal wall, surrounded by a harder alloy layer.

Yan Ning had to change his approach and try to approach the problem from the side, which took another ten hours.

The fourth one.

It's also the biggest one.

Its size is 1.5 times that of the previous three, and its beige light is more intense. When held in the hand, you can feel that the energy contained within it far exceeds that of ordinary wood crystals.

Yan Ning neatly arranged them in front of him, watching the four crystals gleam in the darkness, and a sense of unprecedented satisfaction welled up in his heart.

"This trip was worth it!"

Just as he was about to put away the wooden crystal, he suddenly sensed a strong life force rapidly approaching from above.
