Swallowing the Stars: The Birth of a Cosmic God King

Underground training room.

The alloy door closed, cutting off all outside sounds.

Yan Ning sat down cross-legged, his consciousness sinking into the system space.

[The Primal Embryo of the Golden Horned Beast]

【illustrate】:

The primordial embryo of the Golden Horned Beast, which has not yet developed consciousness, retains complete inherited memories and innate secret techniques.

The host can choose to bind the Golden Horned Beast to their second avatar, retaining the secret techniques for planetary, cosmic, and world lord level avatars.

Alternatively, one can choose to give it to another person and use related secret techniques to possess their body.

【Note】:

The Golden Horned Beast is one of the twelve peak bloodlines of the Starry Sky Beasts, and it reaches the peak of the World Lord level upon adulthood.

After binding, the clone will coexist with the host's soul and share life. Binding takes a certain amount of time, so please consider carefully.

......

Yan Ning's heart skipped a beat.

The Golden Horned Beast.

One of the twelve peak bloodlines of the Starry Sky Beast.

Upon reaching adulthood, one reaches the peak of the Realm Lord level, just one step away from the Immortal Realm!

Even many immortal beings in the universe may never see a golden-horned behemoth in their entire lives, let alone possess one.

Send someone?

What a joke.

Even immortal beings in the universe would fight tooth and nail for the embryo of the Golden Horned Beast. He was only at the planetary level, and the system had already given him a Golden Horned Beast.

He must be out of his mind to choose to give it away.

one way or another.

Yan Ning is genuinely happy.

He never imagined that the very first planetary descendant born would unlock the Golden Horned Beast!

In this way, even if the system does not provide any rewards to improve his strength, Yan Ning will be able to dominate the Azure with the Golden Horned Beast!

The king of beasts in the Arctic Circle?

Let's see if you can take a swipe from me first!

At that time, all difficulties will no longer be difficulties, but will instead become extremely valuable growth nutrients for the Golden Horned Beast!

The only problem is that the combined nutrients from all the monsters on Azure Island might not be enough to simultaneously nourish both the Cloud Vine and the Golden Horned Beast.

"Let's just call it a happy kind of trouble," Yan Ning consoled himself.

But after calming down, Yan Ning decided to use up his lottery chances.

【Object】

【Law】

【other】

The pointer stopped, landing on "Other".

[Planetary-level Tier 4 Guardians x2]

【illustrate】:

Made of special mithril alloy, it has a built-in intelligent combat core and can perform a variety of tasks such as defense, attack, and reconnaissance.

The host can remotely control it using the accompanying secret techniques, or set an autonomous combat mode.

【Note】:

The guards do not possess vital signs and are unaffected by mental attacks.

……

"Planetary level four? Not bad, considering it's just a single draw, not even a critical hit reward."

"It seems the rewards from the lottery are linked to one's own cultivation level?"

"These milestone-like rewards aren't tied to level progression..."

Yan Ning briefly mentioned the preparations for the Arctic Circle to the four women before choosing to go into seclusion again.

......

"Binding".

Yan Ning made the decision without hesitation.

A prompt appeared on the system panel:

[The Golden Horned Beast embryo is being bound, with an estimated time of 30 days. During the binding period, the host must remain conscious and the binding cannot be interrupted.]

Thirty days.

Yan Ning took a deep breath.

Thirty days without food, drink, or sleep is nothing to a planetary-level martial artist, but during these thirty days, his physical body will be defenseless and he will need someone to protect him.

"Moyun".

He summoned the Cloud Vine.

A golden vine peeked out from the collar, its veins shimmering faintly in the darkness.

After half a year of settling down and digesting, it has firmly established itself at the third level of the planetary tier, becoming much stronger than before.

"I'll be going into seclusion for a while," Yan Ning patted its vines, "to protect me."

The cloud-patterned vine wrapped around his arm, conveying a firm message: "Master, rest assured!"

Yan Ning then took out the Mithril Guardian from the system space, activated it, and set it to "Guardian Mode".

Two silver-white metal giants stood silently on either side of the training room, their deep blue eyes scanning the surroundings as they went into alert mode.

"Mo Yun, here's one of the Mu Ya Jing for you."

Yan Ning took out a Wood Seed Crystal from his system space and handed it to Mo Yun Teng, saying, "I'll give you another one when I come out of seclusion."

The tendrils of the Moyun Vine danced merrily, wrapping around the Muya Crystal and greedily absorbing its energy.

"My master is so kind!"

Yan Ning sat cross-legged in the center of the training room and closed his eyes.

Consciousness sinks into the system space.

The embryo of the golden-horned behemoth floated in the void, its entire body pitch black, its surface covered with golden patterns.

The moment Yan Ning's mental power touched the embryo, a massive flow of information surged into his mind.

Passing on memories.

Innate secret techniques.

Fighting instinct…

Everything about the Golden Horned Beast was revealed to him at this moment.

Binding begins!

For the first ten days, Yan Ning's consciousness traversed the inherited memories of the Golden Horned Beast.

He saw the origin of the Golden Horned Beast, the pinnacle bloodline among the Starry Sky Beasts, an ancient race that existed since the beginning of the universe.

They live by devouring stars and hunt in the universe; once they reach adulthood, they are invincible.

The birth of each golden-horned behemoth is a major event in the universe, attracting the attention and competition of countless powerful forces.

He, a human martial artist at the planetary level, possessed the primordial embryo of a golden-horned behemoth.

This feeling is like a dream!

During the ten days that followed, Yan Ning's mental power began to merge with the soul core of the Golden Horned Beast embryo.

This process is extremely painful.

Although the Golden Horned Beast's soul core has not yet developed consciousness, its essence is at the peak level of a Realm Lord, far exceeding Yan Ning's current level of mental power.

Fusing planetary-level mental power with a peak-level world lord-level soul core is like trying to pull a mountain with a single hair.

Yan Ning gritted his teeth and pushed forward little by little.

When your mental energy is depleted, replenish it with Wood Crystal.

When Muya Crystal's energy was depleted, it was replenished with the life energy of Moyun Vine.

He sat cross-legged in the training room, neither eating nor drinking, neither sleeping nor resting, all for the sake of success!

The Moyun Vine stood guard beside him, its tendrils gently encircling his body, ready to supply him with life energy at any time.

The last ten days.

The integration has entered a critical stage.

Yan Ning's consciousness began to split.

Or rather, it's not a true split, but a peculiar "dual perspective"!

He can see two images at the same time:

One is myself in the training room, sitting cross-legged, eyes closed and motionless.

The other is an embryo within the system space, its golden patterns on its jet-black shell growing brighter and brighter, flickering like breath.

Two perspectives, two bodies, one soul.

This feeling is extremely mysterious.

Day 30...

Yan Ning opened his eyes.

No.

It's not about opening your eyes.

Instead, "two pairs" of eyes opened at the same time!

In the training room, his true form opened his eyes, a golden light flashing in his pupils.

In the system space.

A crack appeared in the embryonic shell of the golden-horned behemoth, and a golden vertical pupil emerged from the crack, coldly scanning the void.

[Successfully bound to the Golden Horned Beast]

The Golden Horned Beast's clone is born!

Yan Ning's consciousness switched between the two bodies, adapting to this completely new way of being.

The Golden Horned Beast's clone was still in its embryonic stage, no bigger than a fist, but the power it contained already far exceeded that of its original body.

A soul core at the peak of the Realm Lord level, a secret technique of talent from a peak bloodline, and the inherited memories of the Golden Horned Beast…

These things are enough to give Yan Ning the ability to challenge opponents of higher levels even at the Planetary level!
