Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 326 The Absorption of Hongmeng (6000 words, to be updated on December 22)

"Feng, Feng Wang Wu Di!"

The Crimson Feather King, who had rapidly reconstituted his immortal divine body, was filled with terror in his eyes and utterly shocked in his heart.

"This God-Slaying King is actually a powerful being with invincible strength comparable to a king!"

The Red Feather King's strength is already considered extremely powerful among the early-stage King-level immortal gods, and his ability to escape is comparable to that of the advanced-stage King-level immortal gods.

Yet, even under these circumstances, 12% of his immortal divine body was annihilated by the God-Slaying King's attack.

Keep in mind, this was without the opponent unleashing their immortal divine power. If the God-Slaying King had unleashed even a fraction of his immortal divine power, wouldn't he have annihilated him instantly?

The Crimson Feather King once encountered a powerful figure from the Mechanical Race, the Azure Gold King, on the Flame Sacrifice Continent.

That was the most dangerous life-or-death crisis he encountered on the battlefield outside the domain, and he still can't forget the terrifying aura emanating from the Azure Gold King.

Even the terrifying Azure King, without burning his immortal divine power, only lost 2% of his immortal divine body with a full-force attack.

But now, the God-Slaying King's single strike has cost him 12% of his immortal divine body!

For an ordinary immortal god, losing 50% of their immortal divine body would cause them to perish due to a collapse of consciousness.

However, once one possesses immortality, even if 99% of their divine body is lost, they will not die.

However, if only 1% of the divine body remains, at most it can retain its memories and fall into a deep sleep, and then it will take a long time to gradually recover its strength.

"Shouldn't such a terrifying being be roaming the Star Tower and the Twin Star Vortex? How did it end up on this small Yanji Continent?"

King Chiyu felt helpless. Even when he encountered the limit of the King-level, he could still give it his all, but when faced with the invincible King-level, he almost lost the courage to resist!

"Invincible King?" Upon hearing the Crimson Feather King's exclamation, Yang Wu secretly chuckled to himself, "It seems there isn't an invincible King among the Witch-Bird Clan!"

If the Yan Shen Clan's clone is truly invincible at the King level, it could annihilate the Crimson Feather King with a single strike.

Unfortunately, although the current strength of the Yan God Clan clone is somewhat stronger than that of an average King-level expert, it is still somewhat inferior to its mentor, Sword King, let alone comparable to an invincible King-level expert like True Yan King!

Although the life gene level of the Yan God Clan clone has reached a hundred times that of ordinary life in the universe, after being possessed by the auxiliary metal life form Kash, it is fully capable of reaching the basic power of a world lord with ten thousand times the strength.

If one were to unleash the full power of the Body Amplification Secret Technique, that would be 2.5 times the power of a Realm Lord. Such basic power is equivalent to a peak King-level expert with 25 times the Body Amplification.

In addition, with the pinnacle secret technique "Godslayer" and the treasure weapon Godslayer Spear, he is not considered weak even among the strongest kings.

But what about King Jianhuang?

Both the Amplification Secret Technique and the self-created Peak Secret Technique are far more powerful than the current Flame God Clan clone.

Moreover, as far as Yang Wu knew, King Jianhuang's weapon was also a precious longsword.

In fact, when it comes to lethality, a powerful figure like Sword Emperor King, who is at the peak of the King-level realm, is no less powerful than an invincible King like True Strike King.

The biggest difference between being an invincible king and being at the limit of kingship is that being an invincible king can save one's life from a weaker cosmic venerable!

Even with Yang Wu's current strength, it's still far from enough!

"Spare me! Your Majesty, God of Slaughter, please spare me!" King Crimson Feather urgently communicated with his avatar from the Flame God Clan.

King Chiyu knew very well that with the Yan God Clan's clone possessing a speed even more terrifying than his own, even if he unleashed his immortal divine power, he would have absolutely no chance of escaping.

If the God of Slaughter continues to attack him more than ten times, he will perish completely.

In such a short time, even if he contacted the strong members of his own faction for help, few of them would be able to arrive in time.

Moreover, he is currently being hunted down by an invincible king-level expert, so no one would dare to come to his rescue.

As for lying about the enemy's strength, he would never dare to do that. After all, he was a King-level expert with great talent. Even if he were to perish, the Wuqin Clan could pay some price to request a great being among the demon race to resurrect him.

But if he were to spread false information on the battlefield outside the region, then no one could save him.

Therefore, he could only beg for mercy, hoping that the terrifying God of Slaughter would spare his life.

"Beg for mercy?" The Fiery God Clan avatar sneered, then roared, "Alien race, prepare to die!"

call out!call out!call out!call out!

Yang Wu used his movement technique to follow the Crimson Feather King like a shadow, and then unleashed several more spear strikes, each one bursting with immense power.

In the blink of an eye, the Crimson Feather King's immortal divine body was reduced to only 47%, and his soul was halved. His overall strength was greatly reduced, and even his burst speed slowed down considerably.

"King of Slaughter, don't force me, don't force me!!" King Crimson Feather roared telepathically.

"Ridiculous! You should just die!"

The Flame God Clan's clone was incredibly fast; a single spear thrust was enough to annihilate a large amount of the Crimson Feather King's immortal divine power.

As for the opponent's self-destruction, with the existence of the original core, Yang Wu was already in an invincible position. Moreover, the physical quality of the Yan God Clan clone was already no weaker than that of an ordinary immortal god. With the protection of the Flame Dragon Armor and the King-level auxiliary life form Kash, it was not a problem for him to withstand the opponent's self-destruction.

"Damn it!"

"Damn it!"

"God-Slayer King, you just wait! I will definitely come back for revenge!"

Seeing that his immortal divine body was reduced to only 30%, the Crimson Feather King let out an angry howl, and then his aura surged violently.

"Explode! Explode! Explode!" King Akabane roared.

Only 30% of the immortal divine body remained, and it was completely detonated in that instant. The immortal divine bodies that the Crimson Feather King had lost earlier were annihilated by the powerful attack of the Flame God Clan's clone, so they did not cause a big commotion.

However, the remaining immortal divine power was deliberately detonated by the Crimson Feather King, naturally unleashing extremely strong power.

This explosion spread in all directions after it was fully detonated. Faced with such an explosion, the Flame God Clan clones had no choice but to withstand it.

"Boom!!"

The power of the Crimson Feather King's self-destruction was unimaginable, enough to seriously injure even a newly ascended Immortal God, and almost certainly kill any powerhouse below the level of King!

The universe collapsed, and the surrounding mountains crumbled!

"Bang!"

The incredibly powerful shockwave surged past the location of the Flame God Clan clone like an endless flood.

Upon being attacked at close range, the Flame God Clan clone immediately covered its entire body with the Flame Dragon Armor, which then began to shimmer slightly.

The Flame Dragon Armor is a treasure of immense value, made of extremely special materials. Only a cosmic overlord could destroy it.

The self-destruction of a newly crowned immortal god was merely a tickle to the Flame Dragon Armor, with 90% of its impact being blocked in an instant.

The remaining impact force then acted on Kash, a support metal life form at the initial stage of being a King, blasting the armor that Kash had transformed into powder.

As for the remaining trace of power, it was utterly incapable of harming the Flame God Clan's clone.

"Boom!"

As the universe collapsed, the avatar of the Flame God Clan, clad in dark gold Flame Dragon Armor, was sent flying tens of thousands of kilometers away. He then hovered in mid-air, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Hmm?" Right after killing the Crimson Feather King, Yang Wu suddenly sensed a slight change within the Yan God Clan's clone.

With a flash, Yang Wu casually collected the spoils left behind by the Crimson Feather King, and then began to quietly sense the changes within the Yan God Clan's clone.

The body of the Flame God Clan was now covered with countless crimson threads, which intertwined to form a perfect cosmic cycle, continuously driving the evolution of the Flame God Clan's life genes.

Crack!

Click!

The skeleton and muscles within the body of the Flame God Clan member constantly emitted sounds, and even the scales on its body surface were constantly changing.

"Is this... the life genes of the Yan God Clan's avatar evolving?" Yang Wu's heart stirred slightly.

Long before he conceived the avatar of the Flame God Clan, Yang Wu had already learned a great deal about the life of the Flame God Clan through inherited memories and the virtual universe.

When the Yan God Clan is first born, their life genes are twice that of ordinary life in the universe. However, when they break through to the Domain Lord level and the World Lord level, their genes will actively evolve. This is also the growth path of all ordinary Yan God Clan members.

However, in the inherited memories of the Yan God Clan, the peerless geniuses among them are able to evolve their genes to 16 times, or even 32 times, that of ordinary life forms without the aid of any treasures!

Yang Wu's Yan God Clan clone seems to be undergoing such a breakthrough at this moment.

Yang Wu sensed that the life essence within the Yan Shen Clan clone had undergone a fundamental change, seemingly breaking through a bottleneck, and the life gene level of the Yan Shen Clan clone had also achieved a breakthrough.

The breakthrough of the Yan God Clan's clone was not as complicated as cultivating the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual." It was completed in a short moment.

"boom!"

The Fiery God Clan clone clenched his right hand and then swung it through the air.

In this attack, Yang Wu neither activated the Blood Luo power contained within his body nor used the power of the auxiliary metal life form Kash.

With a single punch, an invisible shockwave instantly rippled outwards, the powerful shockwave directly blasting a small hill below into an explosion, scattering a large amount of debris in all directions.

"16 times the power of a Realm Lord!" The Yan God Clan clone's face was filled with surprise.

A mere 16 times the power of a Realm Lord is utterly insignificant in the face of Yang Wu in his current state.

However, compared to the previous Yan Shen Clan clone's eight times life genes, this is a full doubling!

"Shall we try activating the power of Bloodlust?" Yang Wu was filled with anticipation.

immediately.

"Bloodlust Power, activate!"

A crystal-clear image of a beast god roaring suddenly appeared on the chest of the Yan God Clan clone, and then he threw a punch, sending an even more powerful shockwave crashing towards a mountain peak.

Feeling the power of that punch, Yang Wu frowned slightly.

"Nothing has changed!"

"Even though the life genes of the Flame God Clan's avatar have evolved, it still hasn't broken the limitation of a hundredfold increase in life gene level after activating the power of Blood Luo!"

"How exactly can we break through the limitations of a hundredfold increase in life gene level?" Yang Wu pondered repeatedly.

For Yang Wu, the reason he chose to nurture a clone of the Yan God Clan was because he valued the Yan God Clan's physical talent, which was comparable to the soul talent of Earthlings.

However, it seems that the avatars of the Flame God Clan have not yet shown the astonishing potential that far surpasses that of other races.

If Yang Wu's Earthling body were to fuse with enough Beast God blood, its combat power would be comparable to that of the Flame God Clan's clone.

"If I can't improve my life genes, how can I have strong combat power at the Immortal and Venerable stages?" Yang Wu thought to himself.

While a hundredfold increase in life-growth genes is rare, it is insignificant compared to truly top-tier special life forms.

Moreover, Yang Wu did not obtain the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual" and will not be able to improve his Blood Sea Avatar to a perfect gene in the future. Therefore, he will definitely not be able to compare with Luo Feng's future Endless Nether Sea on the path of divine power.

In addition, his talent was already inferior to Luo Feng's. If he could not discover the secrets contained in the Yan Shen Clan, how could he possibly reach a life gene level of more than 90,000 times in the future?

"Forget it, I'm just a realm lord now, no need to think about so much!"

"If all else fails, besides the Blood Sea, we can choose another clone with an extremely high life gene multiplier. That way, we can also possess formidable combat power!"

"Moreover, with the existence of a time simulator, perhaps I can find the answer in the simulated experience."

After thinking about it for a long time without finding a solution, Yang Wu stopped worrying about it.

With a flick of his hand, an F-class spaceship appeared in the void.

After transforming into a streak of light and entering the spaceship, Yang Wu once again ordered Chi Yan to search for the coordinates of a new King-level expert.

In any case, for Yang Wu, the time simulator was the most amazing opportunity he had ever encountered.

Since the life genes of the Flame God Clan clone cannot break through, then we should use the time simulator to cultivate as soon as possible, master more powerful secret techniques, and even break through to the level of Universe Venerable or Universe Lord!

……

Just as Yang Wu began searching for the coordinates of a new King-level expert, in a vast plane of the virtual universe, in a luxurious hall...

The hall contained a total of 108 ancient and towering thrones, each occupied by a powerful figure exuding a terrifying aura.

These powerful individuals, some belonging to the human race and others from other alien races in the universe, all wore serious expressions.

"I've gathered everyone here today because of a message from the military system on the battlefield outside the region."

"Human Lord Yang Wu successfully killed an immortal god at the initial stage of the King title on the battlefield outside the realm."

On one of the thrones, a burly human powerhouse, clad entirely in purple armor and wearing a strange cross-shaped helmet, said in a low voice, "According to the internal management regulations of our Hong Alliance, since he is capable of doing this, we should recruit him!"

The Hongmeng is a super alliance formed primarily by the human race, with numerous other races as its auxiliary groups. It gathers countless super-powerful individuals from across the universe!

Generally speaking, even the most powerful immortal gods will only receive an invitation from the Hong Alliance when they are officially crowned kings!

"Becoming an Immortal King" is a basic requirement for entering the Hong Alliance.

Even the "Demon Hand King" who killed Hu Yanbo back then was not qualified to join the Hong Alliance.

Many of Yang Wu's teammates in the Blood Blade Squad had always aimed to join the Hong Alliance.

Furthermore, even for the positions of attendants and servants within the Hong Alliance, each clan vies to send their immortal gods to fill these roles.

The words had barely left his mouth—

"That's impossible!"

"I also saw the qualification station for World Lord level inside the Virtual Universe Company back then. Although Yang Wu's strength can be considered the number one World Lord level genius among the human race, he is still far from being able to kill a King-level Immortal!"

"Yes, even if he has amazing talent, less than two hundred years have passed. Could he possibly still break through the Primordial Heavenly Mountain, which is at the World Lord level?"

"Even if his comprehension of the laws could truly reach the twentieth level of the Bridge to Heaven, he is still only a Realm Lord. No matter how talented he is, he would be lucky to kill a peak Marquis level expert, let alone a beginner King level expert."

"That's absolutely impossible!"

"He cannot kill a mere beginner-level King!"

"I request... to view the combat videos monitored by the military system."

Even though they had witnessed many miracles created by Yang Wu over the past period, these powerful beings still denied this message without hesitation.

Even many powerful individuals within the human race felt the same way, because in their view, this claim was utter nonsense.

Is it easy to kill a newly ascended Immortal King?

simple!

If one is willing to burn immortal divine power, even a high-ranking immortal god who has been granted the title of king can do it.

However, Yang Wu is only a realm lord and cannot burn immortal gods at all. Even if his strength is comparable to the peak of the King-level realm, it is unlikely that he can kill a beginner King-level realm.

"Venerable Yezheng, you must be aware of how incredible it is for a World Lord to slay a newly ascended Immortal God. Even among powerful special life forms, very few can achieve such a feat!"

A three-headed alien being spoke in a hoarse voice, its three heads uttering the same words, yet each voice spoke a different one.

The universe is quite fair after all!

Those rare and special life forms, although born with a very high level of life genes, possess astonishing strength.

However, their comprehension is not particularly outstanding, and even after cultivating for an incredibly long time, they find it difficult to make significant breakthroughs.

As for the vast number of ordinary life forms in the universe, there are countless geniuses.

This has led to an increasing number of powerful beings born from ordinary life forms, while the originally more powerful special life forms have gradually become prey.

The most typical example is the eight naturally born beast gods, who went from being the strongest beings who roamed the universe to becoming the targets of hunting by various races in the universe!

As for other special life forms, they are constantly being hunted by ordinary life forms, all for the sake of their powerful life genes.

"Yes, Venerable Yezheng, bring up the battle video!" The other powerful beings echoed.

"Gentlemen, please don't joke with me like that!"

The burly human in purple armor said in a low voice, "Yang Wu's status in our human race is something everyone is familiar with. Now, the other three major races all want to kill him! Information about Yang Wu is naturally considered top secret within our human race!"

"In other words, we are not authorized to request to view the battle video of Yang Wu killing the Immortal King!"

Upon hearing this, the other super beings exchanged bewildered glances.

They were all members of the Hongmeng's management team, almost all of them were high-level cosmic beings, and some were even the strongest members of their respective races.

Given their strength and status, are they really unable to watch Yang Wu's combat videos?

This is... absolutely outrageous!

No matter what, Yang Wu is a realm master.

Many super beings did not believe it and directly submitted applications to the extraterritorial battlefield military system, but the results were exactly the same.

My application was rejected.

"I really don't have enough permissions."

"He's not a Venerable One yet, how could he have such high viewing privileges for battle videos?"

Many powerful beings looked at the burly figure wearing purple armor. Clearly, Yang Wu's high level of authority was something they couldn't understand.

"This is the highest level of protection this human race has for Yang Wu. To watch his battle videos, one would probably need to apply from someone above the 'Seven Stars' level!" the burly human in purple armor said in a low voice.

All around was silent.

After hearing this, the hundreds of powerful beings in the hall all fell silent.

Within the Hong Alliance, those who are granted the title of Immortal King are generally divided into one-star to three-star; while those who are Universe Venerables are divided into four-star to six-star; and seven-star is the most powerful existence among the Universe Venerables, the Universe Overlord. Each of these people has the strength to traverse the universe.

As for surpassing the "Seven Stars," that would already be the Palace Master of the Hong Alliance, each of whom is a super existence capable of intimidating billions of races in the universe, a Lord of the Universe!

For such a trivial matter, to disturb a cosmic ruler, I doubt anyone would do it!

Moreover, the Hongmeng is ultimately a super alliance formed primarily by human races, and humans... are the true rulers of the Hongmeng!

Now that the human race has decided to protect Yang Wu's privacy, how dare they object?

"Venerable Yezheng!"

A being with braids resembling emerald green tentacles suddenly shrieked, "The official members recruited by our Hong Alliance are all top experts from their respective races! If Yang Wu killed a newly ascended Immortal God using some treasures or special means, that would prove his strength!"

"After all, even powerful treasures require sufficient strength to unleash their power!"

"But... what I'm worried about is that Yang Wu's protector killed that King-level expert, and if that protector wasn't registered in the extraterritorial battlefield's military system, the military merit would naturally be recorded under Yang Wu's name!"

"I know perfectly well that with Yang Wu's own strength, he is incapable of killing a newly ascended Immortal God!"

The burly figure in purple armor swept his gaze across the other super-strong individuals, some human, some of other races, and said in a low voice, "But... since the military merits have accumulated on him, according to the rules, we should recruit him!"

"Furthermore, given Yang Wu's talent, even if he doesn't kill a King-level Immortal, he should be able to join the Hong Alliance very soon!"

Although the weakest members of the Hongmeng are generally at the King level or Immortal, there are still some special individuals who are able to join.

For example, those super geniuses among the human race who have broken through the Primal Tongtian Mountain, which is at the level of a World Lord!

Millions of years ago, after traversing the Primal Tongtian Mountain, Coty joined the Hong Alliance as a Realm Lord.

Yang Wu's talent surpasses that of Coty, so he will naturally have no problem conquering the Primal Tongtian Mountain in the near future!

"Gentlemen!"

"Any objections to admitting Yang Wu into the Hong Alliance?" Venerable Yezheng, dressed in purple armor, looked at the representatives of various races around him and asked seriously.

No objections.

No objections.

I second that.

I second that.

The powerful beings quickly nodded and made no further mention of their request to watch the battle video.

"Now that everything has been approved, I will immediately dispatch a team of envoys to invite Yang Wu to formally join my Hong Alliance," said Venerable Yezheng, who was wearing purple armor. One by one, the other powerful figures disappeared from the hall.

In the blink of an eye, only the 108 ancient, towering thrones remained empty in the entire hall.
