Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 385 True King Yan, a Gathering of Powerful Figures

In the virtual universe, halfway up Thunder Island, there is a rather magnificent palace.

At this moment, three figures were conversing in the palace hall. One was a tall ape-man clad in cyan armor; another was a bald man in a fiery red robe; and the last was a slightly thin middle-aged man in a white robe. This middle-aged man stood beside the bald man, and his aura was much weaker.

Suddenly, a tall ape-man clad in golden armor appeared in the hall. His face was covered in golden fur, and his eyes seemed to see through the void. This man was none other than the greatest being of the Kahuns tribe, the invincible king-level expert who had been cultivating in seclusion in Chaos City, the True Yan King.

Upon Zhenyan Wang's appearance, he immediately noticed the other three. Although slightly surprised, he still respectfully addressed the tall ape-man clad in cyan armor, saying, "Teacher!"

The person wearing golden armor was none other than the teacher of the True King, the only Cosmic Venerable among the ape-men, the Giant Ape Venerable with the combat power of a high-level Cosmic Venerable.

"True Yan!" The giant ape clad in cyan armor introduced True Yan King, "These are Venerable Guiyi and King Jinghong; you should be quite familiar with them!"

Both Venerable Guiyi and King Jinghong are disciples of Chaos City Lord, the head of the Virtual Universe Company. He is naturally familiar with Luo Feng, the senior brother of his disciple.

Of course, Luo Feng has not yet completed the test of the Chaos City Lord, so he is only a nominal disciple for the time being, while Venerable Guiyi and the other are personal disciples.

However, King Zhenyan was quite certain that with his disciple Luo Feng's talent and comprehension, he could also become the personal disciple of the Chaos City Lord.

Among them, Venerable Guiyi possesses the strength of a cosmic overlord and holds an extremely high position among the human race. King Jinghong is also an invincible king-level expert. Although he is slightly inferior to Venerable Guiyi, the treasures on his body are even more precious!

However, although King Zhenyan was puzzled as to why Venerable Guiyi and his companion were here, he still greeted them, "Greetings, Venerable Guiyi!"

King Zhenyan bowed slightly to the bald man in greeting, then looked at another middle-aged man in white robes and nodded in acknowledgment, "King Jinghong!"

"True Yan King!" Jinghong King nodded in response, and Guiyi Venerable also nodded slightly.

Immediately, Venerable Guiyi smiled and said, "Zhenyan, the reason I asked your teacher to summon you here is because I have something I'd like to ask for your help with!"

"Does Venerable Guiyi need my help?" King Zhenyan was slightly taken aback.

However, Venerable Guiyi continued, "Just recently, a high-grade treasure, the 'Earth Dragon Mountain-Splitting Axe,' was born on the Yanji Continent in the Seventh Outer Battlefield!"

"However, since it is not currently the final battle, the cosmic lords of the four major factions are unable to travel to the outer battlefield!"

"What does Your Excellency mean...?" King Zhenyan's heart stirred slightly.

If the Universe Venerable cannot go to the extraterrestrial battlefield, then with his invincible strength as a King, he could certainly try to compete for it.

Of course, King Zhenyan was also well aware that with his strength and status, even if he really obtained that high-level treasure, he simply did not have enough power to keep it for himself.

After all, even his teacher's most precious possession was just an ordinary supreme treasure weapon. And this ordinary supreme treasure was something the Giant Ape Venerable had only managed to obtain from the clan's treasury after accumulating wealth over countless years.

Venerable Guiyi nodded, then slowly said, "Zhenyan, the reason I asked your teacher to bring you here is to ask for your help in competing for the Earth Dragon Mountain-Splitting Axe on the outer battlefield!"

"You, Zhenyan, have been cultivating in seclusion within Chaos City for billions of years. It's time for you to venture out and explore! With your unparalleled strength as a King, you still have a chance to obtain the Earth Dragon Mountain-Splitting Axe!"

"Of course, I won't let you help me for nothing!"

"If you're willing to go to the Yanji Continent, then when the giant ape helps you apply for the 'Earth and Space' attribute Beast God Inheritance Token next time, I can apply jointly with the giant ape!"

Venerable Guiyi said earnestly, "If you can help me obtain the Earth Dragon Mountain-Splitting Axe, I guarantee you will be approved the next time you apply for the Beast God Inheritance Token!"

Although the "Earth and Space" Beast God Inheritance Tokens are extremely precious in the clan's treasury, Venerable Guiyi still made a direct promise.

Firstly, although the Beast God Inheritance Token is precious, it is still slightly inferior to a high-grade treasure weapon;

Secondly, the price he paid for helping King Zhenyan apply for the Beast God Inheritance Token from the clan was far lower than directly exchanging for a Beast God Inheritance Token. After all, King Zhenyan already had considerable strength and talent, and he only needed to pay a small price to make some arrangements to succeed.

These costs are probably less than one-tenth the value of a high-grade treasure weapon.

He even had a good chance of success if he and the Great Ape Venerable jointly applied for the same permit.

"The Beast God's Inheritance Token?" King Zhenyan was stunned, and then became somewhat excited.

At the level of True King, there are very few things in the universe that can excite him so much.

Even when Venerable Guiyi mentioned the high-grade treasure, the Earth Dragon Mountain-Splitting Axe, True King Yan was not this excited.

But the Beast God Inheritance Token is completely different!

Because the True King has been trapped in the final, incredibly long period of time, and the Beast God Inheritance Token is a treasure that could very well help him break through to the Universe Venerable realm.

Unfortunately, obtaining the Beast God's Inheritance Token is extremely difficult; even within the entire human race, there are very few. One must also consider the future geniuses who will cultivate the Path of the Beast God.

Even though True King Yan already possessed the invincible strength to be crowned a king, and had a cosmic venerable teacher to help him, he still applied many times but was not approved.

"How long has it been? How long has it been? I've wanted to obtain a Beast God Inheritance Token but haven't been able to!" At this moment, King Zhenyan was extremely excited: "Finally, I have a chance, finally..."

Thinking of this, King Zhenyan immediately agreed, "Venerable One, I am willing to give it a try!"

"Haha...Good!" Venerable Guiyi laughed loudly, "Then I'll see what True King Yan's methods are like!"

Then, Venerable Guiyi pointed to King Jinghong beside him and said, "My junior brother King Jinghong will also be going to the Yanji Continent this time. The two of you can look after each other!"

"Yes, Venerable One (Senior Brother)!" King Zhenyan and King Jinghong replied simultaneously.

"According to the information I have received, the Earth Dragon Mountain-Splitting Axe will be fully revealed in three months at most. You can make good preparations!" Venerable Guiyi continued.

"yes!"

……

After Venerable Guiyi and King Jinghong left, King Zhenyan discussed things with his teacher, Venerable Giant Ape, for a while before returning to his palace at the foot of Thunder Island.

At this moment, two figures were already waiting inside the hall. One was a middle-aged man dressed in a white battle robe, with a pale face, slightly thin, and his eyes closed. The other was a beautiful woman dressed in azure armor with flowing purple hair.

This is the private residence of King Zhenyan. The relationship between those who can come here when he is not here and King Zhenyan is obvious.

"Tong Nan, Long Yu!" Upon seeing the two, King Zhenyan greeted them warmly.

"Zhenyan, what is it that you want to say in the virtual universe?" Tong Nanwang, dressed in a white battle robe, asked in confusion.

He and King Zhenyan were both cultivating in seclusion within Chaos City, and their usual communication took place at their respective residences within the city. Therefore, upon receiving King Zhenyan's email, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Haha, let's sit down and talk!" King Zhenyan laughed, and then with a wave of his hand, a bottle of shimmering wine appeared in front of the three of them.

"This is 'Ancient God's Intoxication'?" Although King Tong Nan had his eyes tightly closed, he still "saw" the bottle of fine wine and exclaimed in surprise, "This one bottle of 'Ancient God's Intoxication' is worth eight billion Chaos Units just in the virtual universe! Zhen Yan, what is this...?"

"Haha!" King Zhenyan laughed heartily, "You, Tong Nan, always said I was stingy in the past, but this time I'll let you drink your fill!"

As he spoke, King Zhenyan took out wine cups and poured wine for King Tongnan and King Longyu.

Tong Nan and the other two didn't say much, but simply picked up their wine cups and drank the wine in one gulp.

After one of them drank three cups in a row, and it wasn't until King Zhenyan showed a pained expression on his face that King Tongnan and the other stopped.

"Zhen Yan!" King Tong Nan asked with a smile, "Tell me, what exactly are you planning to do by inviting me and Long Yu to drink this 'Ancient God's Intoxication'?"

At this moment, King Zhenyan fell into a slight silence.

"I do have a slight suspicion about this!" King Longyu said with a smile, looking at the two of them. "Zhenyan invited us for drinks this time, probably because of the supreme treasure that is about to appear on the battlefield beyond the realm! Zhenyan, am I right?"

"A supreme treasure?" King Tongnan was shocked.

He had been cultivating in seclusion within Chaos City and had not heard anyone mention this matter.

Upon seeing this, King Longyu quickly recounted the story of the "Earth Dragon Mountain-Splitting Axe".

She had been staying in the primordial universe and was the first King-level Immortal under the Nine Swords Venerable, so her information network was naturally extremely efficient.

"Zhenyan, did you come to see us for this matter?" King Tongnan then asked King Zhenyan.

King Zhenyan nodded and slowly said, "However, this operation is very dangerous!"

At this moment, King Zhenyan was extremely conflicted.

On the one hand, he was very worried that his two friends would encounter danger after going to the extraterrestrial battlefield with him, since their strength was somewhat inferior to his.

On the other hand, the three of them had been adventuring together for a long time, and their combined strength was much greater than his alone. Moreover, if they could successfully obtain the treasure, given Venerable Guiyi's strength and status, he would not be stingy with rewarding them with a few ordinary treasures, which would also greatly increase the strength of his two friends.

"Haha!" King Tongnan laughed and said, "Zhenyan, throughout countless years, whether it's the battlefields beyond the realms or the secret realms of the universe, haven't the three of us encountered enough dangers?"

"Now that I've drunk your True Essence Wine, I absolutely have to go to the Yanji Continent!"

"Let's go together!" King Longyu looked at the two friends who were like family to him, and a smile appeared on his face as well.

They risked their lives, engaging in countless adventures and killings, which is how they forged their formidable reputation.

Although they have been silent for hundreds of millions of years, they still yearn for battle!

"Hahaha!" King Zhenyan laughed heartily as well: "In that case, let's fight side by side again and give it our all on the Yanji Continent!"

……

On the very day the agreement was reached, King Zhenyan and King Tongnan left the Initial Universe and arrived at the Virtual Universe Company's Universal Headquarters to meet with King Longyu.

The headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company, the central teleportation point.

The three fully armed True Kings slowly descended from a spaceship in the void.

Numerous divine kingdom teleportation channels have been built on this land, and the surrounding space is concealed, so even if one directly uses divine kingdom teleportation, the coordinates of one's divine kingdom will not be discovered by other powerful individuals.

The moment the three appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of countless powerful figures around them.

"That must be the true King Yan!"

"It's the True King Yan! He actually left the Initial Universe? This is a huge event!"

"Are those King Tongnan and King Longyu beside him? That's really rare. Could it be that someone has offended King Longyu?"

"Aren't King Zhenyan and King Tongnan the two teachers in Chaos City? Why is everyone so interested?"

"Heh, young man, you're still too young! If you had been born billions of years earlier, you probably wouldn't think this way!"

"Do these three have some extraordinary experience?"

"Haha, let me tell you, back then, the True King Yan..."

Many powerful figures were astonished to see the three of them appear at the same time and whispered among themselves.

As for those with incredibly good connections, they had already guessed the three's purpose and began to send messages to the powerful figures behind them.

"Zhenyan, Tongnan!" King Longyu chuckled softly, "It seems that even after cultivating in seclusion within Chaos City for billions of years, you two haven't made everyone forget your past madness!"

"Haha, that's all in the past!" King Zhenyan grinned and said, "I wonder if I'll run into some of my 'old friends' this time?"

"I'm afraid they don't want to see you!" Tong Nanwang chimed in, trying to sabotage the situation.

"Haha, that's true!" King Zhenyan laughed heartily and said, "Let's go!"

hum!

The three True Kings immediately stepped into the divine kingdom's teleportation channel and disappeared without a trace.

……

On a massive, inhabited planet within the Zerg territory.

This planet is teeming with countless insectoids who fight and devour each other in a frenzy, completely devoid of reason.

But inside this planet, there is a silent palace, and inside the palace is a towering figure tens of meters tall.

It was a Zerg figure covered in blue carapace, with a triangular head. It had two antennae, a pair of large compound eyes, and was incredibly powerful. It had two strong hind legs supporting its body, as well as four forelimbs, each of which was extremely sharp. It also had two pairs of translucent wings on its back.

If Yang Wu were here, he would easily recognize it as one of the most common cannon fodder among the 'combat-type Zerg': the Blue Mantis!

The Blue Mantis is a cannon fodder race among the Zerg warriors, with extremely low intelligence, and can only act on instinct under normal circumstances.

But the blue mantis inside the palace had a glint in its eyes, and the aura emanating from its body was even stronger than that of the immortal-level insect queen!

This is the pride of the Blue Mantis clan, the goal of countless Zerg warriors, the invincible king, the Blue Mantis King!

Generally speaking, the only true life form within the Zerg is the Zerg Queen; the Zerg warriors that are created are merely tools of combat.

However, these Zerg warriors with incredibly simple consciousness are not without the possibility of transformation; the fair primordial universe has not deprived them of the hope of transformation.

Such as the Blue Mantis King, and the even greater Nasta, etc...

They are all powerful beings who evolved and gained independent will after being summoned to fight by the Queen Mother!

Suddenly...

The Azure Mantis King inside the palace seemed to have received some news, and then slowly opened his cold eyes, gazing into the endless void.

"The supreme treasure, the Earth Dragon Mountain-Splitting Axe?" The Azure Mantis King's icy voice echoed in the void: "What a treasure! I must obtain this treasure for my great Mother Queen!"

call!

The Blue Mantis King's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

……

Within the territory of the Machine Race, on a seemingly ordinary life-bearing planet, there is absolutely no technology to be seen; only some rock giants live there.

Tens of thousands of rock giant tribes are scattered throughout the planet.

In one of the larger megalithic tribes.

"Follow me and cultivate diligently, and in the future you will become immortal gods, then you can fight for my giant race and for the great mechanical race!" a burly giant shouted.

"Yes, Great Chief!" a group of powerful World Lord-level giants responded in unison.

The burly giant looked at the group of realm lords around him, a satisfied smile on his face.

These people are the hope of the giants. As the number of strong giants increases, the giants will be able to gain a higher status within the Machine Race Alliance!

"Hmm?" The burly giant's expression suddenly changed slightly.

"A high-grade treasure, the Earth Dragon Mountain-Splitting Axe?" A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, which then turned into immense joy.

"If I could obtain this supreme treasure, perhaps I could resurrect the greatest elder of my giant race by the great Lord of the Universe!"

The burly giant looked at the countless kinsmen before him, a resolute glint in his eyes.

……

The news that the Yanji clan's most precious treasure was about to be born spread wildly throughout the primordial universe.

After learning about the methods used by the four top races, countless powerful figures among the King-level Immortals set off for the Yanji Continent. Some were commissioned by the cosmic overlords, while others planned to try their luck. Everyone was tempted and driven mad by this.

In an instant, countless super-powerful individuals flocked to the Yanji Continent.
