Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 366 Top-Tier Treasure (6000 words, bonus chapter for high-quality content)

The Ancestral God Cult, a treasure trove.

The mountains are steep and straight, covered with lush vegetation, and dotted with lakes of all sizes, creating a picturesque landscape.

On the mountain peaks, on the mountainside, or by the lake, and in the lake, you can see figures everywhere.

Among these figures are energy-based life forms, rock-based life forms, flesh-and-blood life forms, and plant-based life forms...

There were countless bizarre and wonderful life forms, and even some special life forms that Yang Wu couldn't identify.

Most of the Beast God inheritors on Purple Thorn Island have lived here for a long time, but most of them are strong people from ordinary and powerful races. In terms of foundation, they are naturally far inferior to the first power in the original universe, the Ancestral God Sect.

The three water curtains in front of the main palace on Zijing Island lead to three different places...

While the 'Land of Inheritance' is indeed wondrous, obtaining new opportunities for enlightenment beyond the initial free chance is extremely difficult; and the 'Secret Realm' is far too dangerous, with even a Cosmic Venerable having a high chance of perishing if they enter.

Therefore, the "Treasure Land" has become the best choice for countless inheritors of the Beast God, who would come here to try their luck whenever they had free time.

If you're lucky, you might even obtain a precious treasure, making yourself even stronger.

However, the chances of unlocking the treasure are indeed extremely slim.

After all, when the super experts in the Ancestral God Sect hide treasures in a certain location, they usually set certain conditions. Only when a qualified expert approaches the treasure location will the treasure automatically open.

Most powerful individuals have already traversed all areas of the treasure land, so any treasures with relatively simple trigger conditions have already been taken by others.

As for the remaining part, the conditions for unlocking it have become increasingly difficult.

Of course, no one knows what conditions those super-powerful beings set in advance.

Therefore, whenever a successor of the Beast God achieves a certain breakthrough, they will continue to come here to try their luck.

After all, breakthroughs in various aspects, such as the understanding of the Way of the Beast God, the strength of divine power, and the amplitude secret technique, may have a certain impact on the final result.

……

"Everyone says this treasure land hides countless treasures, but I've been on Purple Thorn Island for nearly a thousand epochs, and I've only seen treasures appear a few times. Moreover, the last time a treasure appeared was triggered by a damned human king!" A lean man with fish scales on his head stood on a mountain peak, casually scanning his surroundings as he spoke indignantly.

"Cook, you'd better watch your words in the future."

"You must understand, the human race is one of the most powerful races in the vast universe, and they even possess their own virtual universe. Even the demon race has to be wary of them. They are far beyond what our sturgeon race can afford to offend!"

Beside the lean man, another powerful figure calmly said, "Besides, how long have you been a Beast God inheritor? I've been on Purple Thorn Island for tens of millions of epochs. I've even been to this treasure land countless times, exploring every single place here, but I haven't been able to trigger a single treasure."

"Haha, Cook, the human race is indeed very powerful. You really need to be careful in the future. Some things are better left unsaid!" Another powerful figure advised, "However, triggering the treasure is indeed too difficult! Moreover, as the number of treasures decreases, the conditions for opening the remaining treasures will become increasingly difficult. It all comes down to luck!"

These three powerful individuals all hailed from a formidable race in the universe, the Sturgeon Clan, and were currently conversing with one another.

The Sturgeon Clan is a powerful race and naturally has no need to rely on any of the top-tier races. However, in order to unite and protect themselves, the Sturgeon Clan still joined the alliance led by the Demon Clan, which has led to rather tense relations with the human race.

suddenly--

The sturgeon king named Cook suddenly looked in one direction and frowned slightly.

"It's those despicable humans!"

The other two sturgeon clan powerhouses also looked in the direction their companions were looking. They saw two human king-level powerhouses flying through the air. One of them was wearing bright silver armor and exuded a sharp aura, while the other was wearing dark gold armor and looked quite domineering.

They were familiar with the figure clad in bright silver armor; he was King Chaman, the inheritor of the Beast God among the human race. They had even had a significant conflict with him in the secret realm.

As for the figure clad in dark gold armor, they had no idea of ​​its origins.

"Who is that person with King Chaman? Could he be a newly arrived successor of the Beast God among the human race?"

"I have just contacted my friend from the Glory World and the demon race. That person should be the Divine Might King of the human race, whose origins are quite mysterious."

"It's only been less than ten thousand years, and the human race has already produced two inheritors. Humph! The human race is too despicable, occupying so many resources in the universe." One of them, a sturgeon king named "Cook," said indignantly.

"Yes, if only our sturgeon race could occupy a large territory in the core of the universe like the human race!" The other two also sighed.

……

Yang Wu's arrival did indeed attract considerable attention in the treasure-filled land.

After all, although there are many inheritors on Zijing Island, it is still easy to remember the strength of these inheritors.

The sudden addition of a newcomer, especially one from the pinnacle of humankind, is bound to attract attention.

"Look, King Chaman and that unfamiliar human powerhouse are flying together towards the mountain where the first treasure is located!"

"Hahaha... After all, he's a new inheritor, why can't we go and see for ourselves?"

"Just an ordinary human. Even those extraordinary life forms haven't been able to trigger the first treasure, let alone a human?"

Many of the inheritors of the treasure land looked towards Yang Wu from afar, some even soaring into the air to look down at Yang Wu and his companion.

……

Meanwhile, on a distant mountain peak, Venerable Beishan, who had just entered the treasure land, also witnessed this scene.

"These two despicable humans actually dared to follow us in?" Venerable Beishan was quite angry.

These two had just been taught a lesson by him outside, yet they followed him in again, clearly showing no respect for him.

Thinking of this, Venerable Beishan also took to the air and flew towards the mountain where the first treasure was located.

……

midair.

"Hahaha..." Feeling the gazes cast upon him by the surrounding inheritors, King Chaman laughed and transmitted his voice, "Divine Might King, this is your first time visiting this treasure land, and you've attracted quite a bit of attention from the inheritors!"

"There are probably many alien races here who hate our human race!" Yang Wu said telepathically, sensing the gazes filled with either jealousy or resentment.

"Of course!" King Chaman replied telepathically, "The status of my human race as a pinnacle group was achieved through continuous slaughter!"

"Territory, resources, treasures... these are all things that must be fought for and competed for in the universe!"

Yang Wu nodded in agreement.

To become a top-tier race, in addition to having the strongest beings in the universe as top combat power, one also needs many universe lords, as well as a large number of Venerables and Kings.

Cultivating strong individuals inevitably requires a large amount of resources.

All of this requires fighting and scrambling!

Therefore, the path taken by each top race is incredibly bloody, and the hatred between these races is so intense due to their differing stances that it's difficult to judge who is right and who is wrong.

Humans would show no mercy in killing other races, and hatred would accumulate generation after generation, naturally leading to many powerful beings from other races harboring resentment towards humans.

Whoosh!Whoosh!

While they were talking, Yang Wu and King Chaman had already arrived above the mountain where the first treasure was located.

Just as Yang Wu landed on the mountaintop.

"Rumble..."

The entire mountain trembled instantly, attracting the attention of countless inheritors in the treasure land, and the entire treasure land was in an uproar.

……

As soon as Yang Wu landed on the summit of the first mountain, he immediately felt the mountain tremble and was somewhat dazed.

"Wow... we unlocked the first treasure so easily?"

Although he arrived at the first mountain peak right away, he had no intention of unlocking the most precious treasure.

After all, the one who came to the Ancestral God Cult was only the Earthling in his true form, and his strength was far inferior to that of the Flame God Clan's clone.

Since the birth of the universe, even extraordinary beings at the realm lord level have not been lacking in the Ancestral God Sect. None of them were able to open the first treasure, so how could it be his turn?

"The mountains shook!"

"Treasure, it must be treasure!"

"It's the number one treasure! It's the number one treasure!"

As the mountain peak trembled more and more violently, it immediately attracted the attention of countless inheritors from the treasure land. One by one, they took to the air and flew towards this first peak.

In an instant, powerful figures from all races of the universe could be seen in all directions.

Because Venerable Beishan had already taken action, he was naturally closer.

"How is this possible?" Venerable Beishan's one eye widened in surprise as he spotted Yang Wu landing on the first peak.

Although there are other inheritors on the first peak at this time, if they had met the conditions for opening the treasure, they would probably have already triggered it.

As for those who landed on the first peak, only Yang Wu and King Chaman were there.

But no matter who opens the treasure, it's not something Venerable Beishan wants to see.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Venerable Beishan roared in his heart.

"The treasure atop the highest peak has been stored there since the Ancestral God Sect discovered the treasure-hunting grounds. It is said that one of the three Ancestral Gods of the sect personally placed it there. Countless brilliant geniuses throughout history have failed to open it, so what makes humanity think they can?"

Moreover, this is the highest peak in the entire Treasure Land.

Of the 108 legendary treasures, any one of them is worth a priceless treasure, not to mention the number one treasure.

The most precious treasure on Venerable Beishan's body was nothing more than a top-tier heavy armor. How could a mere weak human king obtain such a precious treasure?

……

However, the facts did not change according to Venerable Beishan's will.

"A treasure, a treasure indeed!"

"The mountains shook!"

"Hahaha, it must be me! The number one treasure is definitely mine! I just broke through to the fourth level of the Path of the Beast God!"

At the summit of the highest peak, the other inheritors were all incredibly excited, for they were also on the mountain.

Although they all knew in their hearts that their chances of triggering the treasure were extremely slim, this was the most valuable treasure, and they would never give up as long as there was even the slightest chance.

"Splash splash splash..."

Above the first peak, the Five-Colored Aurora Lake began to undergo astonishing changes. Suddenly, thousands of five-colored auroras began to spin wildly, like a whirlpool.

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

In an instant, thousands of colorful aurora beams fell from the sky, each one tens of thousands of kilometers long, like colorful meteors falling. In a short while, they completely enveloped the entire mountain peak, like a colorful beaded curtain, which was beautiful and magnificent.

This breathtaking scene has inspired countless inheritors, who yearn to take its place!

However, the power contained in the five-colored aurora is incredible. It is one of the most powerful treasures in the universe. A few rays of aurora can easily annihilate a cosmic venerable, not to mention the shield formed by thousands of rays of aurora together!

"be mine!"

"It must be mine!"

After being enveloped by the colorful aurora, the inheritors on the first peak were extremely excited and prayed silently.

But then, powerful forces swept these people away, instantly teleporting them out.

"No!"

"No! The treasure is mine!"

……

The inheritors roared hysterically.

King Chaman, who had arrived at the first peak with Yang Wu, remained quite calm. He looked at Yang Wu, who was still standing, and congratulated him, saying, "King Shenwei, congratulations! You have actually obtained the most precious treasure of the Inheritance Land!"

In fact, King Chaman had already guessed this when the mountain peak first began to tremble.

When he saw everyone being teleported away, leaving only Yang Wu behind, King Chaman was extremely happy.

After all, they belong to the same human race, and when the Divine King obtains the treasure, it also increases the strength of the human race.

……

Outside the mountain peak.

"Who? Who exactly triggered the treasure?"

"They've all been kicked out!"

"Look! King Chaman has been kicked out too, but the human successor next to him hasn't come out!"

"It's that human, the one in the dark gold armor who hasn't come out yet!"

The memories of these inheritors were astonishing. After seeing that everyone else had been kicked out, they immediately knew that the one who triggered the treasure was the human king-level expert beside King Chaman.

Whoosh!

A figure exuding an astonishing aura suddenly appeared before King Chaman.

He stood with his back bent, his hands and feet shaped like claws, his body covered in dense scales with golden runes, and he had golden hair and golden eyes.

"King Chaman!" A sharp, ear-piercing voice rang out from the alien powerhouse: "Who are the humans left behind in the mountains?"

"King of the Barking Mirror!" Although the alien powerhouse before him was only a King-level Immortal, King Chaman was extremely wary of him.

Because the strength of the King of the Barking Mirror before them is enough to rank them among the top ten among the countless immortal kings on Purple Thorn Island.

It should be noted that the inheritors on Purple Thorn Island have been accumulating strength since the birth of the universe. Among the King-level Immortals, even the weakest are at the limit of the King-level. The top ten geniuses must have incredibly terrifying strength, perhaps even surpassing ordinary Universe Venerables.

Moreover, King Barking Mirror has joined the Northern Frontier Alliance, a super power whose strength is comparable to that of the Hong Alliance.

"Everyone!" King Chaman looked around and said loudly, "The Divine Might King who is currently staying in the mountain peak has only recently arrived on Purple Thorn Island, but he has already taken one of our human race's universe masters as his master."

Although King Chaman was unaware of Yang Wu's background, this did not prevent him from using Yang Wu's name to intimidate others.

After all, the treasure that King Shenwei obtained was ranked number one, and he certainly wouldn't have been able to keep it if he didn't have a powerful background.

"King of Divine Might?" King Barking frowned slightly; he had never heard of this name before.

The other inheritors also exchanged whispers, inquiring about the identity of the Divine Might King.

……

Within the area enveloped by the colorful aurora, everything inside the mountain was sealed off.

This is for the sake of secrecy!

It is guaranteed that during the process of the inheritor obtaining the treasure, no one other than the Five-Colored Aurora Lake will know anything about the treasure.

The mountain peaks trembled continuously.

Yang Wu stood alone on the mountaintop, watching a giant rock about three hundred meters high slowly rise and finally float in front of him.

"I wonder what kind of treasure it is?" Yang Wu wondered to himself.

Just after the boulder flew up, a black ring slowly flew out from the dark cave and hovered in front of Yang Wu.

Yang Wu immediately reached out and took the black ring, then imprinted his spiritual mark on it.

This black world ring is made of an extremely special material; its origin is unknown. Unless deliberately attacked, it would likely not be easily damaged even in a battle at the level of a universe lord.

Immediately, a wisp of world power seeped into it.

Within the world ring, there was only emptiness, except for one item in the very center.

A gleaming golden longsword.

This longsword has a rather ancient design, somewhat similar to the Tai'a sword from ancient China. It constantly emits golden light and stretches for hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

"A sword?"

Yang Wu directly separated a wisp of world power and imprinted his spiritual mark onto the golden longsword.

Suddenly, a flood of information rushed into Yang Wu's mind, making him extremely excited.

"receive!"

With a wave of his hand, Yang Wu's enormous golden sword shrunk rapidly to just over a meter in length and landed in his hand.

"It's...it's actually a top-tier treasure!"

Yang Wu's eyes shone brightly as he looked at the golden longsword before him with immense joy.

The treasures in the universe are endless, but they can generally be divided into several levels.

The God-Slaying Spear used by Yang Wu can only be considered an ordinary treasure, with a value of at most a few treasure points.

As for the Purple Bell obtained from the Purple Bell King, it is worth nearly a hundred treasure points, which means it has already entered the top level of treasures.

Even more powerful than the Heaven-Questioning Spear bestowed by the Mountain-Sitting Guest is an ordinary treasure worth several treasure points.

In the human race's treasure trove, one Treasure Point can be exchanged for approximately three thousand Treasure Points.

After the ordinary treasures, there are the high-level treasures, and then the top-tier treasures!

What is the concept of a top-tier treasure?

Even among the elite races like humanity, only when a powerful individual breaks through to the level of a universe master will the race bestow upon them a top-tier treasure!

That is the master of the universe, and even in the entire universe, he can be considered a pinnacle existence.

Of course, with the existence of the time simulator, Yang Wu wouldn't be overjoyed by a top-tier treasure weapon that didn't match his own abilities; what he saw was the resources that this weapon could bring.

If an ordinary clan or a powerful clan member were to obtain this treasure, they would certainly cherish it. Even if their original weapon was not a longsword, they would probably create a new secret technique suitable for wielding the treasured longsword.

But for Yang Wu, who was born into a human race, there were naturally better options.

"With my current strength, I'm afraid I'm simply unable to activate a top-tier treasure. Moreover, this treasure is a longsword, which doesn't perfectly complement my 'Godslayer' spear technique!"

"However, as long as I contribute this top-tier treasure to my clan, I will be able to collect all the Beast God Inheritance Tokens I want! I might even have the chance to exchange them for other treasures!" Yang Wu secretly planned in his heart.

Yes, when Yang Wu saw this top-tier treasure sword, his first thought was to sell it!

It's not that this treasure is bad, it's just that with Yang Wu's current strength, he simply can't unleash the power of a top-tier treasure. It's better to sell it and exchange it for some resources! This way, he can also improve himself better.

Even if a top-tier treasure weapon is contributed to the human race, it can yield nearly a hundred treasure points. While the Beast God Inheritance Token is precious, it is only worth a few treasure points at most.

In this way, Yang Wu will not only be able to obtain all eight kinds of beast god inheritance tokens, but also have extra wealth to buy other treasures.

"Once I reach the Immortal realm, I will receive the powerful treasure prepared by Master Zuoshanke!"

Yang Wu thought to himself, "That Flaming Divine Halberd is a top-grade treasure among supreme treasures; mine can't be too weak either!"

call out!

Just then, a stream of light, shrunk to its smallest size, flew towards Yang Wu and directly entered his sea of ​​consciousness.

The flowing light contained a message, a message left by the treasure's placer to the future inheritor of the treasure.

"I am the Two-Faced Ancestral God. Today, by the mandate of the laws governing the universe, I have created a treasure trove. I have casually placed a top-tier weapon within it, leaving it for future inheritors!"

That voice, seemingly piercing through time and space, resounded in Yang Wu's mind. It was as if an unparalleled powerhouse had appeared before Yang Wu, displaying the aura of a true expert.

"However, to obtain the treasure, one must be a World Lord level expert and reach the fourth level of any Beast God Path within five thousand years."

"Hahaha, if a peerless genius can unlock this treasure before the universe is destroyed, it will be a legendary tale in our era of reincarnation!"

The very simple message immediately made Yang Wu understand who left the treasure and the conditions for opening it.

"A Realm Lord level expert who reached the fourth level of the Path of the Beast God in five thousand years?"

Upon seeing such harsh conditions, Yang Wu couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

The number of triple inheritors on Purple Thorn Island exceeds ninety million. Aren't they all peerless geniuses, rare in the universe? Yet most of them are still trapped in the third level of endless years!

Needless to say, there's also the prerequisite of being a Realm Lord!

It's safe to say that if Yang Wu hadn't possessed the Time Simulator, no one would have been able to fulfill this trigger condition!

However, Yang Wu finally sighed softly, "Thank you, Two-Faced Ancestral God!"

With the appearance of this top-tier treasure weapon, Yang Wu's cultivation path will definitely become much easier.
