Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 332 Fame Spreads Throughout the Universe

As Yang Wu dodged the attacks from Tianming Wang and the others, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"This Heavenly King is indeed not to be underestimated! He must have been prepared to act from the very beginning, first having the Azure Gold King use time-stopping, and then launching a thunderous attack in conjunction with the others!"

"Such an attack, even if it hit a true King-level expert at the peak of their power, would probably cause them to lose a significant amount of their immortal divine power!"

With the existence of the original core, the Yan God Clan clone is not afraid of such an attack, but in doing so, the identity of the original core and the world lord will definitely be exposed.

"Of course, since the Azure Gold King used time stop to trap me, this is my only chance!"

While Yang Wu was surprised...

On the other side, King Cangjin and the others were also extremely shocked.

"He actually dodged it!" King Cangjin exclaimed in disbelief. "Even I would have difficulty withstanding such an attack, yet this God-Slaying King dodged it? And he even broke through my time-stopping technique instantly! How... how is this possible?"

Inside the World Ring, Star Illusion King's eyes, as bright as stars, were also filled with surprise. She had almost given up hope when Cangjin King and the others launched that thunderous attack together.

Just as she was about to burn her immortal divine power to break through the World Ring and fight desperately, the God of Slaughter King broke free from the Azure Gold King's restraints so easily.

"Time stops!"

"That's the Azure Gold King's time-stopping ability!"

As a major aspect of the fundamental laws of time, time-stopping, in the hands of a powerful being who has comprehended the laws of time, is in no way inferior to the ability of teleportation.

Once hit by the "time stop" attack, although the mind can still think, the body is completely frozen, and can only watch helplessly as the enemy attacks.

That is why powerful individuals who have mastered the "time stop" technique are feared, because in battle, one might be struck by this move at any moment.

At this moment, the Heavenly Mandate King was even more shocked.

The battle plan he just presented was already the strongest attack he had in mind.

In his plan, killing the God-Slaying King would be very risky, except for using a soul attack.

Therefore, after the Necromancer King's soul attack failed, what he wanted to do was to obtain enough resources to make up for the losses of himself and his companions.

In his view, as long as they used their ultimate move to shatter the God-Slaying King's divine body, the world ring that the king carried would be revealed, and then the group of them could join forces to seize the world ring.

The God of Slaughter has recently killed many powerful figures, and his spoils are quite considerable, so the group won't have made a wasted trip.

but……

What the Heavenly Mandate King did not expect was that even when several of them, peak-level Kings, joined forces, they couldn't even manage to attack their opponent.

"My turn!" Yang Wu grinned slightly.

Peng!

A dazzling crimson light emanated from the God-Slaying Spear in his hand, and an incomparably powerful aura instantly spread out.

boom!

A crimson beam of light instantly pierced through the crimson space.

The second move of the "Godslayer" spear technique: Greedy Wolf.

This is the strongest secret technique that the Flame God Clan clone can currently unleash. When used with the God-Slaying Spear, a treasured weapon, it is enough to make countless King-level powerhouses pale in fear.

Faced with such a powerful attack, coupled with Yang Wu's incredibly fast speed, even a powerful expert like Cang Jin Wang, who was at the peak of the King level, would have his divine body shattered instantly. All Tianming Wang could do was order the Nine Absolute Divine Kingdom to withstand the attack!

The energy shields on the nine pyramid-shaped spaceships outside were constantly circulating. The energy on eight of the pyramid-shaped spaceships was greatly reduced, and all of it was transferred to the pyramid-shaped spaceship near Yang Wu.

Inside the purple space, however, all was silent.

The moment it touched the edge of the purple space, the crimson light suddenly erupted!

Rumble!!

The heavens and earth roared, and the silent space instantly became noisy. A huge rift was instantly torn open within a range of tens of thousands of kilometers at the edge of the purple space, and a torrent of countless spatial fragments surged continuously.

The collapse of space affected even the distant Heavenly King and others.

However, the weakest among them are all peak-level King-level experts, so the aftershocks of the battle will not affect them.

"Oh no, the God-Slaying King is escaping!" The Heavenly Fate King's expression changed instantly when he saw a huge crack blasted into the purple space.

He expended a great deal of resources to launch a forbidden attack. If he were to let that God-Slaying King escape just like that, he would suffer a huge loss!

"King Cangjin, please stop that God-Slaying King!" King Tianming hurriedly transmitted his voice.

Faced with the power that the God of Slaughter had just unleashed, the Heavenly Mandate King naturally dared not personally step forward to intercept him.

After all, if the opponent were to burn his immortal divine power, a single strike could likely annihilate a large portion of his immortal divine power.

Among the crowd, only the Azure Gold King, who was also at the limit of the King-level, was able to barely hold off the opponent.

On the other side, King Cangjin did not take immediate action after hearing these words.

He wasn't a member of the Machine Race, and his race hadn't even joined the Machine Race Alliance, so there was absolutely no need for him to risk his life for the Machine Race.

The power of that God-Slaying King is a notch above his own. If he were to push the opponent to the brink and burn his immortal divine power, he, being at the forefront, would certainly be the first to suffer the consequences.

At this moment, he only used time stop once, and did not suffer any losses like the Death King or even the Heavenly Fate King.

"King Cangjin, you..." Seeing King Cangjin hesitate, King Tianming knew exactly why.

However, King Cangjin was not his subordinate, and the relationship between them was merely one of cooperation; they had no obligation to obey him.

Just then, the avatar of the Flame God Clan broke free from the encirclement of the purple space.

"Damn it!" Seeing this, the Heavenly King could only roar in frustration.

Without the support of the Nine Absolute Divine Kingdom, his strength was only about the same as that of an ordinary peak-level Immortal King, and in some aspects, he was even weaker because of his weaker understanding of the laws.

After flying out of the purple space, the pressure on the Flame God Clan clone was greatly reduced.

Without the constraints of the Nine Absolute Divine Kingdom, even though the space was still sealed, he could easily escape at his speed.

"I'll deal with you later!" The Yan God Clan clone glanced back at the Heavenly Fate King and the others, then used his movement technique to flee swiftly into the distance.

After a brief exchange, Yang Wu had already grasped the strength of these peak-level King-level experts.

Given the current strength of the Flame God Clan's avatar, it was unable to pose a fatal threat to the Heavenly Fate King and the others, so it had no choice but to leave.

Otherwise, it would be even more troublesome if the other side's allies arrived.

The avatar of the Flame God Clan flew further and further away, and the Heavenly Fate King and the others did not continue to pursue it.

After the Yan God Clan clone flew out of the spatial control range, the Star Illusion King appeared in the World Ring and then disappeared with the Yan God Clan clone in a teleportation.

"King Cangjin, why didn't you stop that God-Slaying King?" King Tianming looked at King Cangjin and questioned him.

King Cangjin sheathed his lightning spear and sneered, "King of Destiny, that God-Slaying King's strength far surpasses mine; I couldn't stop him at all!"

"Furthermore, since the Death King's soul attack is ineffective, if we push him to the brink and he burns his immortal divine power, one or two of us might still perish!"

Upon hearing this, the three members of the Undead King's party remained silent.

Under normal circumstances, even a peak-level King-level expert would be unable to harm these peak-level King-level experts.

However, if the immortal divine power were burned, even the Azure Gold King would pose a great threat to them, let alone the even stronger God-Slaying King.

What they could never have imagined was that the God-Slaying King in their eyes was actually just a realm lord, who had no way of burning immortal divine power.

"The King of Destiny!"

After a moment of silence, King Jiujian, who was skilled in teleportation, also said, "Although it's very reluctant to admit, judging from the strength of that God-Slaying King, apart from requesting a powerful figure like King Yunwang to take action, we simply have no ability to deal with him!"

The Undead King and the others nodded in agreement.

The limit of being a King-level expert is already considered top-tier combat power on the battlefield outside the domain, let alone a powerhouse like the God-Slaying King who is at the limit of being a King-level expert.

However, it is also unrealistic to ask the Fallen King for help.

For a powerful figure like the King of Destiny, the people he usually deals with are top-tier experts who have special opportunities or possess great treasures.

As for the God of Slaughter, who can only kill those at the initial stage of the King-level realm, he probably wouldn't even look at him.

Moreover, although the God of Slaughter killed many powerful individuals, most of them were Marquis-level Immortals, and there were very few King-level Immortals. Moreover, they were all at the initial King level. The total value of all the spoils was estimated to be only a few hundred billion Yu Lan units.

Such wealth was quite precious in their eyes, but it was nothing to the King of Fate!

"Damn it!" The Heavenly Mandate King gritted his teeth, his heart filled with resentment.

His losses in this battle against the God of Slaughter were arguably the greatest.

Although the Death King briefly burned his immortal divine power, the loss was at most one billion units of Yu Lan. However, his previous forbidden attack alone consumed more than five billion units of Yu Lan resources.

If they could obtain the World Ring of the God-Slaying King, they would naturally not suffer a loss, but now...

"God-Slayer King, just you wait!" the Heavenly Fate King thought bitterly. "Once my understanding of the laws advances further, I'll be able to wield even more precious weapons, and then I certainly won't let you go!"

True mechanical beings generally prefer to rely on various precious mechanical weapons when fighting.

Therefore, as long as one has enough strength and wealth, one can purchase powerful enough weapons to deal with strong opponents.

Furthermore, if one has enough wealth to purchase a divine base, even ordinary cosmic venerables would be helpless against it!

That's the allure of mechanical weapons!

……

In a mountain range somewhere on the Yanji Continent, the avatar of the Yan God Clan and the figure of the Star Illusion King appeared simultaneously.

After the two appeared, they first released the three members of the Qinghuo Squad who had been rescued from the world ring.

Although the operation yielded no results, Yang Wu still managed to transfer the corresponding bounty to the Green Fire Squad's account through the military system.

As for Star Illusion King, he naturally did not accept the so-called thank-you gift from Azure Fire Marquis.

"We really owe it all to you, God-Slaying King, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed!"

After the Azure Flame Squad left, Star Illusion King said with a look of relief.

"This is all I should do!" the Flame God Clan avatar said calmly. "Speaking of which, I'm the one who dragged you into this. If I hadn't killed so many Mechanical Clan King-level Immortals, I'm afraid the Fate King and the others wouldn't have come looking for us at all!"

"God of Slaughter, you flatter me!" Star Illusion King's voice was gentle, her misty wings fluttering softly as she said, "To witness you, God of Slaughter, fight five against one and escape unscathed has truly broadened my horizons!"

Although Star Illusion King briefly stopped Nine-Iron King at the beginning, she knew very well that even without her intervention, the outcome would not have changed.

After all, neither soul attacks nor the forbidden attacks of the Heavenly Fate King could cause any damage to the God of Slaughter.

"By the way, God of Slaughter, what are your plans next?" Star Illusion King asked.

After this ambush, she dared not continue hunting down powerful alien kings.

This time she only encountered the Heavenly Mandate King and a few others, so she still has the strength to resist. But if she attracts even more powerful alien experts, then things will be bad.

"I gained some insights from my battle with the Heavenly Fate King and his group!" the Flame God Clan clone said with a smile. "I plan to cultivate in seclusion for a while, striving to master the ability of teleportation as soon as possible!"

"Oh?"

Star Illusion King was quite surprised, and at the same time, he said with admiration, "It seems that you, God of Slaughter, are about to make a great leap forward in strength again!"

In Star Illusion King's view, the God-Slaying King was already so powerful even before he had mastered teleportation, so his strength would naturally increase greatly after he mastered teleportation.

However, this means that the God of Slaughter will no longer cooperate with her in the future.

After a period of cooperation, Star Illusion King knew very well that the God of Slaughter had approached her in the first place because he wanted to use her teleportation ability to quickly hunt down powerful alien races.

However, even during this short period of cooperation, she has already accumulated a great deal of wealth, more than she had in the previous hundreds of years.

"I hope so!" the Fiery God Clan clone said in a low voice.

In truth, even if he mastered the ability of teleportation, his strength wouldn't increase much. After all, his Path of the Beast God had already reached the twentieth level of the Bridge to Heaven.

"Star Illusion King, what are your plans?" the Fiery God Clan clone immediately asked.

"I've also gained quite a bit during this time!" Star Illusion King said softly, "Now that I've accumulated enough wealth, I plan to temporarily leave the outer battlefield to cultivate a support plant life form at the initial stage of Kinghood. This will greatly improve my survival ability!"

"That's a good idea!" the Yan God Clan clone chimed in.

At the same time, he also thought of his auxiliary metal life form, Kash. If he could cultivate an auxiliary metal life form at the peak of the King level, then even if he could not mobilize higher power, his defensive ability would be greatly enhanced!

"It seems we'll have to part ways for now!" Star Illusion King said with a smile. "I hope that when I see you again, God of Slaughter King, you'll be able to teleport!"

"I also hope that you, Star Illusion King, can successfully cultivate a King-level auxiliary plant life!" The Flame God Clan clone also offered his blessing.

Assisting life to break through to immortality still carries a certain possibility of failure. If you are unlucky, even if you invest extremely precious resources, you may still fail.

"Thank you!" Star Illusion King said with a smile.

……

After parting ways with Star Illusion King, Yang Wu boarded a spaceship and found a new resting place.

While aboard the spaceship, Yang Wu also began to study the changes within the Yan Shen Clan's clone.

Although he didn't gain any resources from his fight with Cangjin King and the others, he gained a lot in other aspects.

Firstly, being bound by the Azure Gold King's time-stopping technique actually allowed him to successfully cross the threshold of the fundamental laws of time. While this didn't directly improve his strength, it was undoubtedly a good start. After all, to become a master of the universe, one needs to comprehend the two superior laws of time and space!

Secondly, during the battle, the life gene level of the Yan God Clan clone underwent another transformation, changing from the original 32 times gene to 64 times gene.

Although he still failed to break through the limitation of the hundredfold life gene level after activating the power of Blood Luo, Yang Wu could feel in his heart that he might be very close to that goal.

……

Right after Yang Wu parted ways with Xinghuan Wang, news of his battle with Cangjin Wang and others spread quickly.

Initially, it was only because Cangjin King and others saw the powerful strength of the Yan God Clan's avatar that they secretly informed some of their clansmen and friends on the Yan Sacrifice Continent to stay away from the Slaughter God King after spotting him.

But their clansmen and friends also had their own clansmen and friends, and so the word spread from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, from a hundred to a thousand...

First, the entire Mech race camp, and then the Human, Zerg, and Demon race camps also quickly learned of this news.

The news also became increasingly distorted as it spread.

"Have you heard? The God-Slaying King from the human camp fought against five peak-level King-level experts from the machine race, and emerged unscathed!"

"The human faction's God-Slayer King is truly too powerful; he was actually able to suppress five peak-level King-rank experts from the mechanical faction in battle!"

"What?! The Fiery God Clan's powerful Slaughtering God King actually defeated five peak-level King-rank experts from the Mechanical Clan, including one at the limit of King-rank?"

"The God-Slaying King is too powerful! He actually made more than ten peak-level Kings of the Mechanical Race suffer heavy losses!"

……

As for Cangjin Wang and the others, they naturally learned about these increasingly distorted rumors.

"Scum!" King Destiny gritted his teeth in anger. "If that Azure Gold King hadn't held back at the crucial moment, I would have made that God-Slaying King pay the price!"

"Damn it, damn the God-Slaying King!" Heavenly Mandate King roared in his heart.

However, although the Heavenly Mandate King was very unwilling, he was also very clear in his heart that the God of Slaughter was indeed an extremely terrifying opponent.

At least on his own, he could never defeat his opponent.

"I must raise my understanding of the laws to the peak of the King level as soon as possible, so that I can go back to my clan and apply to purchase more powerful weapons!" King Tianming thought to himself.

……

With his peak strength, he could be considered a powerful figure even on the battlefields beyond the realms.

Therefore, news of the God-Slaying King spread throughout the entire outer battlefield...

Star Tower, Twin Star Vortex... and even the powerful figures from several other extraterrestrial battlefields have already learned some information about the God of Slaughter.

……

The Star Tower contains numerous forbidden spaces.

In one of the forbidden areas, a fierce wind howled and yellow sand filled the sky. Amidst the endless storm, two blurry figures were perched on a sand dune.

"Mob, we're so unlucky! We were about to kill that human immortal at the peak of the Marquis level, but he still managed to escape at the crucial moment!"

One of them, a burly figure about eight meters tall with skin covered in scales and a curved horn between his eyebrows, spoke in a deep voice.

The other burly figure, who was of the same clan, ignored his companion and instead showed an expression of disbelief.

If anyone were to appear here, they would discover that these two are from a powerful race within the Zerg camp: the Flame God Clan!
