Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 280 Siege

Time passed day by day.

In the serene outer space of Red Morning Star, ripples suddenly appeared in the starry sky, and a pitch-black triangular spaceship suddenly appeared.

"Master, we have arrived at Red Morning Star!" A phantom image of Crimson Flame appeared on the huge screen in the control room.

Yang Wu stood in the control room, followed by his teacher Jin Guanghou and the guard leader Field, looking outside through the exterior simulation.

"Yes!" Yang Wu nodded, then said, "Teacher, Field, let's go and meet the immortals of the Golden Horn Clan first!"

"Haha..." Marquis Jin Guang laughed and said, "Speaking of which, this is the first time I've heard of the Golden Horn Clan. I never imagined that such a powerful clan lived within the borders of my Qianwu Universe Kingdom!"

Whoosh!

Yang Wu's spaceship plunged directly into the atmosphere of Red Morning Star and activated its stealth function.

Soon, the spaceship landed at the base of the Qianwu branch on Red Morning Star.

In the spacious manor.

Nine powerful members of the Golden Horn Clan were already waiting for Yang Wu's arrival.

"As expected of His Highness Yang Wu, he's actually traveling in an F-class spaceship!"

Cashna, clad in golden armor, gleamed with envy as he said, "This looks like an F-class spaceship built from the Guyan Stone Mother. I wonder when I'll be able to own one?"

The other seven who were granted the title of Marquis were also extremely envious.

As a vassal tribe, the Golden Horned Tribe naturally received far fewer resources than the human tribes.

An F-class spaceship is generally worth millions of Chaos Units, something any immortal god of the Marquis level could possess.

However, among the Golden Horn Clan, those who possess an F-class spaceship and are granted the title of Marquis or Immortal are extremely rare.

Only those who achieve the King-level Immortal status can ensure that everyone possesses an F-class spaceship.

Moreover, the spaceships of the King-level Immortals in the Golden Horn Clan are far inferior in performance to those of the human race's powerful beings.

Whoosh!

The hatch opened.

Under the watchful eyes of the nine powerful members of the Golden Horn Clan, Yang Wu, dressed in dark gold armor, flew out of the cabin along with his teacher, Golden Light Marquis, and the guard leader, Field.

After storing the spaceship in his world ring, Yang Wu flew directly to the nine Golden Horn Clan members.

"Elder Si Fanqi of the Golden Horn Tribe, along with his squad, welcomes His Highness Yang Wu." The elder leading the Golden Horn Tribe bowed slightly to Yang Wu.

At the same time, the eight powerful figures behind Terahan Ki also bowed to Yang Wu.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all!" Yang Wu nodded with a smile, and then introduced Jin Guanghou and Field to everyone.

Upon hearing that Jin Guanghou was Yang Wu's teacher, Elder Si Fanqi, who had already reached the peak of the King title, immediately paid much more attention to the newly appointed Marquis-level Immortal Deity before him.

"Your Highness Yang Wu, our team already has a battle plan for this mission, but it still needs Your Highness's personal approval!" Terabuki said with a smile, "Let's go inside and discuss it!"

"it is good."

Yang Wu nodded, and then walked towards the living room with the others.

……

Inside the living room.

Yang Wu and the others sat down one by one and began to discuss the next battle plan.

"Your Highness Yang Wu, according to the mission assigned to our team by the Virtual Universe Company, we are required to deal with two immortal gods, one a Marquis-level being and the other a High-ranking Military Lord."

Si Fanqi smiled and said, "We have already made a plan. When the battle begins, I will fight the Marquis-level Immortal 'Yao Hai' with three clansmen, while the other clansmen will deal with the remaining High-ranking Military Lord. Does Your Highness have anything to add?"

"I have no objection to Elder Sifanqi's arrangements."

Yang Wu smiled and said, "The battle that follows will depend on your skills!"

Virtual Universe was well-prepared for this operation.

Although they only needed to deal with a Marquis-level Immortal God, the Virtual Universe Company still sent a King-level peak expert with teleportation abilities to lead the team, which was foolproof.

Of course, once you reach the Immortal stage, your survivability is greatly enhanced compared to the Realm Lord stage.

Before reaching the Immortal level, even if two opponents are of similar strength, if their vital cores are hit, it is entirely possible to determine the winner and loser.

But immortal gods are different; even if an immortal god's body is completely shattered, he can reassemble.

Therefore, killing an immortal god is extremely difficult.

Ordinary immortal military lords are somewhat better off, as their spiritual imprints have not yet fully integrated with their body cells. As long as their bodies are repeatedly shattered, they can be killed.

However, those who are enfeoffed as marquises are immortal. Even if their bodies are shattered time and time again, they can reassemble themselves, and their strength will not be weakened in the slightest.

At this point, there are only two ways to kill the opponent.

One is 'soul destruction', and the other is 'forced annihilation'.

Soul destruction involves directly attacking the opponent's soul. Hu Yanbo, the master of Meteorite Star, died under this method.

Forced annihilation relies on absolute suppression of power to destroy the opponent's immortal divine power time and time again until all of the opponent's immortal divine power is completely destroyed.

However, both soul destruction and forced annihilation require extremely high strength.

Soul destruction requires extremely high spiritual attainments, while forced annihilation requires strength far exceeding that of the opponent.

Generally speaking, if the difference in strength is too great, someone like the Nine Swords Venerable could probably annihilate a Marquis Immortal with ease.

If the difference in strength is not too great, for example, if a newly appointed King wants to kill a high-ranking Marquis, he must pay a price, which is to "burn his immortal divine power".

However, once the immortal divine power is burned, it is equivalent to voluntarily losing this part of the divine power and the part of the soul contained within it, which is a permanent damage.

Once a newly appointed King-level expert ignites their immortal divine power, their strength skyrockets, making them comparable to a peak King-level expert. Naturally, they can easily annihilate a high-level Marquis-level expert.

Annihilating a high-ranking Marquis, or even a low-ranking King... would take hundreds or thousands of years to recover.

Of course, if a high-ranking king wants to kill a high-ranking marquis, normal attacks can damage the opponent's essence. A little burning of immortal divine power can easily kill the opponent, and it will take several years to recover.

As for those at the peak of the King level, they could probably kill a high-level Immortal with a single blow.

This is forced annihilation, relying on the absolute difference in strength. If the difference is not enough, it is made up by 'burning immortal gods'.

This is also why the Virtual Universe Company dispatched such a powerful King-level squad.

With the peak strength of Terafan Ki, killing 'Yokai' would not require any cost, nor would it give the opponent a chance to escape.

"Your Highness, when shall we begin our operation?" Terabuki asked with a smile.

"If you all have no objections, we can set off now!" Yang Wu nodded and said.

"No problem!" the golden-armored elder, Terafan Ki, quickly replied.

……

Immediately, Yang Wu and the others boarded a spaceship and left Red Morning Star.

Yang Wu, on the other hand, separated a wisp of his consciousness to connect to the virtual universe in order to gather intelligence on the two immortal gods as targets.

The most important part of this mission is to kill the two immortal gods. The Virtual Universe Company even sent a team of powerful experts led by a peak-level King to carry out this task. Yang Wu naturally wants to ensure that everything goes smoothly.

Yuxiang Mountain, the original area, Yangwu Manor.

"I need to know the exact location of my mission targets, the immortal gods Yao Hai and Jeffries."

Yang Wu sat at his desk and calmly spoke to a stunningly beautiful blue-haired woman on the screen.

"Your Highness Yang Wu, Jeffries is currently on the capital star of the Dreamworld Empire, while Yao Hai has not yet appeared. We suspect he is currently residing in his own divine kingdom!"

The blue-haired woman respectfully said, "We don't know when Your Highness will arrive at the Imperial Capital Star. At that time, we will send someone to lure Yao Hai out so that Your Highness can successfully complete your mission!"

In fact, as one of the departments with extremely high authority within the Virtual Universe Company, the staff of the intelligence department are usually quite arrogant.

However, their attitudes vary from person to person.

Over the past few decades, they have heard countless stories about Prince Yang Wu.

Moreover, apart from some relatively public information, even the staff of these intelligence departments could not find any information about His Highness Yang Wu.

Faced with such a person, they naturally dared not be negligent in the slightest.

Therefore, after seeing Yang Wu accept this mission, they had already made all the necessary preparations and were just waiting for Yang Wu to take action.

"Yes, I will arrive at the capital star of the Dreamland Empire in three days. You can start preparing in advance!" Yang Wu nodded and said.

"Yes!" the blue-haired woman replied respectfully.

Immediately afterward, Yang Wu shut down the communication.

……

Three days later, Yang Wu and his group arrived at a mineral planet not far from the capital city.

At this moment, the enormous interstellar fleet of the Ninth Army Group of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom had gathered here. Once the operation began, they could reach the Imperial Capital Star within half an hour.

After receiving accurate information from the intelligence department, Yang Wu led everyone to the Imperial Capital Star.

In an instant, the earth shook and mountains trembled.

The enormous interstellar fleet slowly took off and then flew directly into space.

Dreamland Empire, Imperial Capital Star.

As the economic and political center of the Dream Empire, the Imperial Capital Star is home to many high-ranking officials from this mid-level civilization.

Today is quite a special day.

Because an extremely distinguished guest had arrived at the Imperial Capital Star, even the patriarch of the Dreamy Empire, Yao Hai, showed up to entertain him.

In the banquet hall.

Countless people are raising their glasses in a toast.

"Second Princess, I've heard that the guest who has come to visit us this time is a very important figure in the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom!"

A beautiful woman dressed in a purple gown said to a stunningly beautiful woman, "Even the clan ancestor came out to personally greet us."

"Since the clan ancestor personally appeared to receive them, the visitor must be an immortal deity."

The stunningly beautiful woman's eyes sparkled: "I've never seen an immortal from the Cosmic Kingdom before."

Many high-ranking officials of the empire who arrived at the banquet hall early chatted amongst themselves, their voices rising in discussion.

At this time-

"The deity has arrived!"

A magnificent voice resounded throughout the entire resplendent banquet hall.

The crowd, which had been buzzing with discussion, fell silent instantly, and everyone waited patiently.

Three figures appeared one after another at the side door of the banquet hall.

An invisible law of immortality spread out, instantly making everyone in the banquet hall aware of the newcomer's identity.

"Greetings, Lord God!"

Everyone in the banquet hall knelt down respectfully.

The leader of the three figures was a seemingly simple and honest young man. He wore emerald green battle armor, had handsome features, and a strange crystal on his forehead.

This child, who looks like a neighbor's kid, is none other than Yao Hai, the founding emperor of the Dreamy Empire and the ancestor of the Yao Hai family!

The other two immortal gods stood beside Yao Hai, one of whom was a burly man and Yao Hai's disciple, Jeffries!

The other person wore a dark gold robe and had long, snow-white hair, making him as dazzling as the sun.

"I am very happy today."

Yao Hai's voice echoed in the hall, "I, Yao Hai, am deeply honored that Lord Longchier from the Qianwu Universe has come to our Mengyou Empire!"

Longchier is an immortal of extremely high status in the Qianwu Universe. Since he was able to come to the Mengyou Empire in person, Yaohai naturally had to come out to greet him personally.

In reality, Longchier had received orders from the Virtual Universe Company's intelligence department to lure Yaohai out.

After Yang Wu received the mission, the intelligence department of Virtual Universe Company arranged everything.

The purpose... was to make Yao Hai obediently leave his divine kingdom, thereby helping Yang Wu complete his mission.

……

At this moment, Yang Wu led everyone to the outer space of the Imperial Capital Star.

"Action!" Yang Wu gave the order.

Instantly!

The massive interstellar fleet that had been surrounding Yang Wu's spaceship began to rapidly disperse, sealing off the entire Imperial Capital Star in outer space.

"Elder Sifan Qi, I wish you a successful mission." Yang Wu looked at the golden-armored elder: "Remember, you must activate the virtual universe network for synchronous transmission during the mission."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Terabuki replied respectfully, "Our Tawambu will certainly not fail in our mission!"

Whoosh!

Terafan Ki transformed into a blur, leading his many immortals directly towards the Imperial Capital Star.

As for Kashna, who was only at the World Lord level, he stayed by Yang Wu's side.

……

Banquet hall.

Yao Hai was talking to the white-haired old man Longchier beside him, with his disciple Jeffries sitting beside him.

suddenly--

Yao Hai frowned slightly; he could already sense the powerful aura of immortality approaching.

Yao Hai's eyes were icy cold as he shouted, "Insolence!"

boom!

Immortal divine power rapidly spread out, almost instantly bombarding the area outside the palace.

With his abilities, he easily spotted Terahan Ki and his group rushing towards the Imperial Capital Star.

The building materials above the banquet hall were burned to nothingness, and Yaohai rushed out of the palace.

But the moment Yao Hai rushed out of the palace, his expression changed drastically.

"King-level!!"
