Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 282 The Venerable One

In the space interlayer, light-years away from the capital of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom and the Mengyou Empire.

Vast and boundless, countless fragments of space floated about.

A figure covered in keratin and dressed in ancient black armor stood silently in the void.

This person was none other than Venerable Awakening Light from the Zerg Alliance. At this moment, he was wearing a mysterious mask and carefully observing the battle on the Imperial Capital Star.

"What a piece of trash!"

Seeing that the Soul-Slaying King's attack was blocked, Venerable Jueguang thought to himself.

However, Venerable Jueguang only grumbled in his heart at this moment.

As a powerful figure skilled in soul attacks, Venerable Jueguang naturally had many servants under his command.

However, this Soul Killer King is considered the most skilled in soul attacks among the servants controlled by Venerable Jueguang.

Since the Soul-Slaying King's attacks all failed, it wouldn't be very effective for Venerable Jueguang to send out other servants.

Moreover, the Kong Wan clan, to which Venerable Jueguang belonged, was just an ordinary clan. Most of the powerful servants under his command were left in the clan to protect its people.

Moreover, being located in the heart of human territory, Venerable Jueguang, as a member of the Zerg Alliance, is still very likely to encounter danger.

The most important reason why Venerable Jueguang sent out the Soul-Slaying King was to be cautious and to test Yang Wu's trump card.

In his view, Yang Wu's talent was so amazing that it would be impossible for him to do so without a strong protective force by his side.

This operation meant that even with powerful protectors around Yang Wu, it had no effect on him.

As soon as he senses something is wrong, he can immediately escape and quickly leave the human territory through the teleportation of his immortal divine kingdom.

What Venerable Jueguang did not expect was that just a few Immortals who were openly present could block all of the Soul Killing King's full-force attack.

"However, the attack that killed the soul was extremely powerful. If those two immortals hadn't simultaneously burned their immortal divine power with all their might, Yang Wu might have been in danger!"

Venerable Jueguang pondered silently, "Faced with such danger, no powerful figure has yet intervened. Perhaps Yang Wu truly has no powerful allies left!"

"However, my time is also very limited, and I must act as soon as possible!" Venerable Jueguang frowned slightly.

Countless powerful beings among humanity leave coordinate markers in various places within their territories. Once an irresistible alien invasion occurs in a certain location, these powerful beings will immediately rush to the scene.

While the Soul Killing King was stopped, the human race was also helpless against the Soul Killing King who was burning with immortal divine power, and several of them might even perish.

Therefore, there will definitely be an even more powerful being coming to kill the Soul Killer King.

Within the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, at this moment, only the Qianwu Kingdom Ruler could easily kill the Soul-Slaying King.

Although the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom is not well-known among the many cosmic venerables of the human race, he is still from a top-tier race and his strength is slightly greater than that of Venerable Jueguang.

Thinking of this, Venerable Jueguang's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and his heart was filled with endless killing intent.

"Yang Wu, to have a Universe Venerable like me personally intervene, your life has been worthwhile!"

In an instant, Venerable Jueguang immediately ordered the Soul-Slaying King to cancel the spatial blockade, and at the same time, his figure disappeared instantly.

To prevent the immortal king among humans from protecting Yang Wu from teleporting away, the Soul Killing King immediately cast a spatial blockade as soon as he appeared.

As a powerful being who has comprehended the fundamental laws of the entire space, Venerable Jueguang's strength is naturally quite different from that of immortal gods.

Generally speaking, once one has mastered "teleportation," the teleportation distance is almost the same for both realm lords and immortals.

In other words, the distance of teleportation depends almost entirely on the user's understanding of the fundamental laws of space.

After mastering teleportation, one can sense teleportation in a specific direction, which is approximately one light-year away.

However, if you try to sense all directions at the same time, it becomes extremely difficult, and the sensing distance is less than one percent of that in a single direction.

This is also the biggest reason why the immortals at the peak of the King-level realm, who possess the ability to teleport, have such formidable survival capabilities.

After all, even immortal gods who also possess the ability to teleport cannot find and hunt down another immortal who has teleported to a light-year away.

The best way to deal with an Immortal King who can teleport is to cast a spatial blockade before the opponent teleports.

However, if it were a cosmic venerable who had fully comprehended the fundamental laws of space, the distance of teleportation would be far more exaggerated.

Under normal circumstances, when a Space Venerable extends his teleportation in a single direction, the maximum distance can exceed one thousand light-years. Even if he senses it from all directions at the same time, the teleportation range exceeds ten light-years.

However, even a Space Master cannot use teleportation when faced with a spatial blockade.

Therefore, before taking action, Venerable Jueguang instructed the Soul-Slaying King to cancel the spatial blockade.

Because the Soul Killer King was the soul servant of Venerable Jueguang, and the two were not too far apart, he only needed a thought to do so.

……

In the void beyond the capital star of the Dream Empire.

"Boom..."

Suddenly, ripples appeared in the starry sky, and Terafan Ki, who was doing his best to protect Yang Wu, suddenly felt much more relaxed.

"The spatial blockade has been lifted? Could it be that a powerful being among humanity has arrived?" Terafan Ki felt a sense of relief.

"Should we help humanity preserve the Soul-Slaying King, or continue protecting Prince Yang Wu?"

Two thoughts flashed through his mind, but Terahan Ki instantly chose the latter.

One is merely a titled immortal king; not to mention the human race, even their Golden Horned Clan has quite a few.

Although he could gain many benefits after killing the opponent, the safety of His Highness Yang Wu was of greater importance.

Whoosh!

With a thought, Terafan Ki immediately appeared beside Yang Wu. He reached out and grabbed Yang Wu, intending to teleport away with him once again.

But just then...

Suddenly, a huge figure appeared in front of Yang Wu and the others.

call out!

Time and space within the endless surrounding area seemed to stand still completely. Yang Wu and the others were completely bound to the spot, with only their souls and wills still moving.

"He is a cosmic sovereign from another race!"

"The Zerg Alliance actually sent a Cosmic Venerable to assassinate His Highness Yang Wu!"

Terahan Ki saw this scene before him, and his eyes were filled with despair.

The strength of immortal gods and cosmic lords is completely different. Over countless years, the Golden Horn Clan has accumulated more than a million immortal gods, but there are only a few dozen cosmic lords at most.

"I hope that the human race, considering my desperate efforts to protect Prince Yang Wu, will take better care of my Golden Horn Clan and my Tavin Tribe in the future!"

Terabaki looked at the enormous figure before him, already awaiting his death.

On his deathbed, what he was most worried about was his people and tribe.

Although Terafan Qi knew that there were some great beings who could reverse time and resurrect the strong, his Golden Horn Clan did not have such a powerful being.

If they want to be resurrected, they will have to seek help from the human race, but that will require a lot of resources.

Although Terabaki has accumulated a lot of military merits in the extraterrestrial battlefield, he is still far from paying the price required to be resurrected by reversing time.

The Golden Horn Clan doesn't have many resources to begin with, so they simply can't help him pay for it.

Boom...

Wearing a simple black armor, Venerable Jueguang charged directly at Yang Wu at an extreme speed.

At the same time, the opponent's aura suddenly exploded, clearly indicating that he had already burned his own body.

In fact, even if Venerable Jueguang wanted to control Yang Wu, who was under the protection of Ji Fanqi, he had no need to burn his immortal divine body.

Venerable Jueguang knew the principle that "even a lion must use all its strength to hunt a rabbit," and fearing that Yang Wu had a powerful force protecting him, he had already exerted all his strength at this moment.

"Even if a high-level cosmic being were secretly protecting Yang Wu, they wouldn't have had time to stop him in this haste. This time is enough for me to control him with my soul!"

At this moment, Venerable Jueguang was extremely calm. As he was about to complete his mission, he was already thinking about how to avoid being hunted down by the powerful human race.

……

the other side.

Faced with the full force of a Universe Venerable, even though Yang Wu possessed a soul defense comparable to that of a King-level expert, he had absolutely no ability to resist.

Even if Yang Wu wanted to commit suicide, there was no possibility of it.

The scent of death is incredibly close...

However, Yang Wu showed no sign of panic at this moment.

Because he had already received a guarantee from his teacher, the Nine Swords Venerable, and even before undertaking this mission, Yang Wu had visited the Nine Swords Venerable's temple.

Just then.

"Despicable Zerg, how dare they not learn their lesson!" A majestic voice suddenly echoed through the vast universe.

Rumble...

A bald man dressed in a fiery red battle robe appeared in the cosmos. He had a faint smile on his face and appeared very serene.

The aura emanating from this bald man was even inferior to that of Venerable Jueguang, yet just seeing him made Yang Wu involuntarily calm down, as if his entire being had merged into the cosmos.

"The Venerable One of Unity!"

Just as Venerable Jueguang was about to attack Yang Wu, he saw this figure appear and was extremely shocked.

He never imagined that the human race would send a cosmic overlord to protect Yang Wu.

It should be noted that although there are thousands of Cosmic Venerables among the human race, only about a hundred of them possess the strength of a Cosmic Overlord.

"Jueguang, you dare to come to the heart of my human territory to assassinate a genius of my race? Do you want the Kong Wan clan to be wiped out?"

The Venerable Guiyi still wore a faint smile, but his words were incredibly cold.

Upon hearing this, Venerable Jueguang suddenly paused.

Although he knew that the human race was unlikely to pay a huge price to deal with the Kong Mantaka race, who lived under the protection of the insectoid race, Venerable Jueguang still couldn't help but feel uneasy.

After all, it's not that human beings are incapable, but rather that they are unwilling.

If the human race were truly determined to annihilate the Kong Wan clan, the Zerg alliance probably wouldn't wage a full-scale war against the human race; at most, it would retaliate in kind.

Thinking of this, Venerable Jueguang's confidence waned, and even the burning of his divine body began to falter.

Seemingly sensing Venerable Jueguang's fear, Venerable Guiyi coldly snorted and said, "Since you're here, stay!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an incredible pressure instantly spread throughout the endless space and time around him.

Wow!

Vast and boundless, all regions within a range of light-years were subjected to an invisible constraint.

Meanwhile, Venerable Jueguang's body also began to wear down little by little.

"As expected of the renowned Master Guiyi, whose name resounds throughout the universe!"

"As a disciple of the Chaos City Lord, Venerable Guiyi's strength is among the top tier of all the universe's overlords!"

"The attack from this domain-type treasure alone has begun to annihilate my immortal divine body!"

"If I were wearing my own treasured armor, I should be able to withstand the attack from Venerable Guiyi's domain treasure!"

However, Venerable Jueguang was just having this thought in his mind.

The Heavy Armor was already his strongest means of survival, but Coco could only withstand the opponent's initial area-of-effect attacks.

At the same time, Venerable Jueguang was secretly rejoicing.

"Fortunately, I anticipated the danger of this operation and left all my resources in my avatar within the Ancestral God Sect; otherwise, the accumulation of countless years would have been lost in an instant!"

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

Under this pressure, Venerable Jueguang's immortal divine body was constantly being depleted, and in the blink of an eye, one percent of it had already been consumed.

99%, 98%, 97%...

The divine body of Venerable Jueguang continued to weaken.

"There's absolutely no way to resist!"

"The cosmic overlord is truly powerful. I wonder when I will be able to possess such strength?"

Looking at Venerable Guiyi not far away, Venerable Jueguang felt a pang of envy.

If he could possess the strength of a cosmic overlord, the entire Kongwan Clan would be in a much better position. Even if the Zerg Alliance sent people to assassinate Yang Wu, they would not send him again.

"However, we can't wait any longer! Explode!"

After his body shrunk to 93%, Venerable Jueguang knew there was no hope of completing the mission.

Moreover, Venerable Guiyi possessed a domain-type treasure, and with his current strength, he had no way to escape, so he chose to self-destruct.

After all, Venerable Jueguang, as the holy son of the Kongwan clan, possesses the talent of creating clones.

Although the loss of divine power from self-destructing one of his clones pained him greatly, if his strength were to be severely reduced and he were to be controlled by someone's soul, then he would be completely finished.

Moreover, facing a cosmic overlord like the Venerable One, it would be perfectly normal for his mission to fail; it would be incredible if he succeeded.

Previously, Venerable Guiyi continuously annihilated Venerable Jueguang's divine power, which was an annihilation between energies, and the commotion was not significant.

But at this moment, Venerable Jueguang chose to self-destruct, and all the energy he had accumulated over countless years erupted in that instant.

Boom!

Venerable Jueguang instantly self-destructed, transforming into endless, overwhelming energy waves that swept out in all directions, causing the entire void to shatter continuously.

"Damn aliens!"

Faced with Venerable Jueguang's self-destruction, Venerable Guiyi did not hesitate to choose to burn his own body, while at the same time using his domain-type treasure to restrain the infinite energy.

In fact, with Venerable Guiyi's strength and the protection of his treasured armor, even if Venerable Jueguang self-destructed, it would pose no threat to him.

Protecting Yang Wu and the others would be a piece of cake.

However, Venerable Guiyi still chose to burn his immortal divine power without any hesitation.

Because, not far away is the capital star of the Dreamy Empire.

Including the surrounding modified stars, there are hundreds of billions of human lives in this region.

Although these human lives were insignificant, even if all of them were combined, they wouldn't amount to even one ten-thousandth of the divine power lost by Venerable Guiyi, Venerable Guiyi still did it.

This is one of the reasons why Venerable Guiyi was able to stay by the side of the Chaos City Lord.
