Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 400 Assassination

On Zijing Island, the cosmic venerables of several major forces, including the demon race, had been waiting outside Yang Wu's residence for thousands of years.

As for the other powerful figures who intended to watch the spectacle, they had already given up. After all, each of them had their own things to do, so how could they possibly waste a lot of time on Yang Wu?

Inside Yang Wu's residence.

hum!

A hazy golden light suddenly shone, and a figure wearing dark gold armor walked out from it. It was Yang Wu's true form as an Earthling, who had already broken through to the realm of immortal gods.

"After being silent for thousands of years, it's really time to go out and travel!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

The Ancestral God Cult gathers elites from billions of powerful races, making it arguably the intelligence center of the entire primordial universe.

Although the virtual universe of the human race has a wider reach and faster dissemination speed, it is still an internal information channel of the human race. At most, it can be used by other allied races within the Hong Alliance, while the vast number of other alien races have no right to use it.

But the Ancestral God Cult is different!

The Beast God Inheritance Tokens and Inheritance Sites of the Ancestral God Sect are scattered throughout the universe, and any powerful individual from any race could potentially obtain them.

While fixed locations like the Land of Divine Generals' Inheritance might be occupied by some top-tier or powerful clans, the Beast God's Inheritance Token and the Divine Envoy's Inheritance Crystal are randomly distributed, meaning even strong individuals from weaker clans have a chance to obtain them.

Moreover, as long as a living being can bring the Beast God's Inheritance Token here, they can receive the protection of the Ancestral God Sect. As long as they don't go to dangerous places, it can be considered one of the safest places in the universe.

Therefore, many powerful individuals are willing to stay on Purple Thorn Island for extended periods of cultivation.

Within the Ancestral God Cult, there exists a virtual world like the Glory World, making the flow of information incredibly rapid.

"I wonder how many people are still waiting outside to assassinate me?"

"However, these people are likely to be disappointed!" Yang Wu smiled to himself.

With his current strength, even if he were an Earthling himself, he could withstand the full force of a cosmic overlord's attack for a short time.

Furthermore, Zijing Island is protected by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake. If anyone starts fighting, they will be immediately attacked by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake.

After a while.

"squeak!"

In the silence, Yang Wu slowly opened the gate of the mansion.

In fact, Yang Wu was already extremely familiar with the environment on Zijing Island, after all, Tingni's clone had been staying here to comprehend the laws of fusion.

However, he was quite cautious at this moment, because once he left the mansion, he might be assassinated at any time!

The moment the gates of Yang Wu’s residence opened, the guards in the three surrounding residences immediately noticed.

"Owner!"

"Master, the gates of the Divine King have opened!"

"Master, King Kamui is going out!"

In the surrounding mansions, the three Universe Venerables who were waiting to assassinate Yang Wu suddenly awoke, but their expressions were completely different!

……

Inside the residence of the Zerg inheritor, Venerable Jueguang, who was in charge of assassinating Yang Wu, wore a bitter smile.

"He still came out!"

"I've already assassinated him in the human realm, and now the Lord of Feathered Path has ordered me to assassinate that Divine Might King within the Ancestral God Cult. This is truly too..."

Thinking of this, Venerable Jueguang felt a pang of sorrow.

"Just because killing the Divine Might King would have cost the Zerg the least, they've sent me here within the Ancestral God Cult to kill him!"

"If I had known this would happen, my Kongwan clan would have been better off joining forces with some less powerful groups for mutual support. Even if we had joined the Northern Frontier Alliance, we wouldn't have encountered this situation!" Venerable Jueguang secretly regretted.

After all, if he weren't in the Zerg Alliance, he wouldn't have received such a tricky mission.

Of course, at this point, Venerable Jueguang had selectively forgotten the many benefits the Kongman Clan had gained after joining the Zerg Alliance.

……

Inside the mansion of the demon clan's inheritor.

"The Divine Might King has finally come out? How could a mere Realm Lord stay in his mansion for thousands of years without showing his face?" The Swamp Erosion Venerable, who was in charge of assassinating Yang Wu, was overjoyed.

Long before, after he obeyed the orders of the Lord of the Dark Demons and decided to assassinate Yang Wu, all the members of his Mudfish Clan had already moved to the Audoran Star Sector.

That place is the core area of ​​the demon race's territory, and its resources and safety far surpass the place where the mudfish race used to live.

Therefore, Venerable Swamp Erosion had long been eager to assassinate Yang Wu.

Even if he is killed by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, the Lord of the Netherworld will reverse time and space to resurrect him.

Moreover, after he was killed by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, the Beast God Inheritance Token in his possession would also become invalid, and the Lord of the Netherworld would also make up for this loss.

In any case, his path to becoming a Beast God had been stagnant for countless years, and he hoped to use it to acquire resources that were more suitable for him.

As for the fact that the human race might be furious after he killed this unparalleled genius, Venerable Swamp Erosion didn't care at all!

After all, the demon race possesses two of the strongest beings in the universe, making them arguably the strongest force in this vast cosmos, second only to the Ancestral God Cult. What then is the human race?

……

At the same time, the inheritors of other major forces who were responsible for collecting information about Yang Wu also received news that Yang Wu had left the mansion.

Everyone knew very well that the demon race, the insect race, and the mechanical race would never allow the Divine Might King to continue to grow stronger. As soon as he stepped out of the mansion, a thunderous blow would surely await him.

Therefore, they all stared intently at Yang Wu's residence, eager to know the final outcome of this matter.

"I wonder if this time it will be the fall of Yang Wu, the unparalleled genius of the human race, ending his legendary career; or the failure of the three top races, including the demon race, and their retreat in defeat?"

"I wonder what methods the other three top clans have prepared to kill that Divine Might King?"

……

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, each with their own thoughts, Yang Wu smiled and walked out of the mansion's gate. The gate then slowly closed.

Just then, a huge figure appeared directly in front of Yang Wu. It was a strange beast whose whole body seemed to be covered in mud, and its gray eyes were full of killing intent.

This strange beast is none other than the Swamp Erosion Venerable from the demon race's camp.

The Swamp Erosion Venerable knew very well that the Zerg and Mechanical Race powerhouses were probably also preparing to assassinate Yang Wu, but he was determined to succeed in securing the credit this time!

Therefore, the moment he saw Yang Wu appear outside the mansion, he immediately burned his massive divine body and swiftly attacked Yang Wu.

Rumble!

The Swamp Erosion Venerable suddenly unleashed an incredibly powerful aura.

In an instant, the void shattered, and the heavens and earth changed color.

"Um?"

Jueguang Venerable, who was helplessly preparing to assassinate Yang Wu, was stunned when he saw this scene.

"That's... the Swamp Erosion Venerable from the Demon Clan Alliance?"

Upon seeing Venerable Swamp Erosion unleash his full power, Venerable Jueguang instantly understood.

"That Swamp Erosion Venerable actually wants to assassinate that Divine Might King? I might have a chance to save my life this time. I'd better assess the situation first!"

"However, with the strength of the Swamp Erosion Venerable, killing that Divine Might King would indeed be an easy task!"

……

On the other side, Yang Wu had just closed the gates of his mansion when he was immediately attacked by the Swamp Erosion Venerable, who was burning his immortal divine power.

"Venerable Swamp Erosion, you're really courting death!" Yang Wu sneered inwardly, and then instantly ignited his own immortal divine power.

Although Yang Wu had just broken through to the Immortal Realm, he was no stranger to burning Immortal Divine Power, so he easily mastered all the power after burning Immortal Divine Power.

"What?"

Seeing that Yang Wu could burn immortal divine power, the Swamp Erosion Venerable was extremely shocked, but he did not stop his attack.

After all, there's no turning back once the arrow is released. Since the assassination attempt had begun, his fate was sealed, and there was no way out.

Only by killing Yang Wu can we obtain the greatest benefit.

"In just a few thousand years, I don't believe you've really broken through to the Immortal Realm!" Swamp Erosion Venerable sneered inwardly.

hum!

The Swamp Erosion Venerable's first move was naturally a soul attack; only in this way could he prevent the super-strong among the human race from resurrecting the Divine Might King in the future.

Immediately, a surge of ethereal divine power entered Yang Wu's mind, and under its full force, this ethereal divine power was attempting to control Yang Wu's consciousness.

"A mere Swamp Erosion Venerable thinks he can control me and turn me into a soul slave? How laughable!" Yang Wu thought with disdain.

It should be noted that his will has already reached the Venerable level, and although the Swamp Erosion Venerable is quite skilled in soul attacks, it is nothing short of a pipe dream to control a Universe Venerable.

Furthermore, before Yang Wu came to Zijing Island, he had already brought the Heaven-Burning Treasure Mirror, a top-tier soul-type treasure, to his Earthly self, so his soul defense was naturally impregnable.

hum!

The Heaven-Burning Mirror trembled slightly, immediately dissipating the soul attack from the Swamp Erosion Venerable.

"Could it be that the Divine Might King has truly become an immortal god?" The Swamp Erosion Venerable was even more shocked.

Even if a realm lord has a powerful treasure guarding his soul, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand the soul attack when he's burning his immortal divine power!

Rumble!

Just then, the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, which had been perfectly calm above Zijing Island, suddenly trembled, and then streaks of aurora rapidly swooped down.

"It's too late! Die!"

Swamp Erosion Venerable steeled his heart and suddenly opened his mouth.

Whoosh!

A tongue covered in mud and water, like a canopy, enveloped Yang Wu.

This is a secret technique of the mudfish clan, and it was used by the Swamp Erosion Venerable while burning his divine power. Even a strong person of the same level would not be able to withstand this attack.

Just then, Yang Wu finally took action.

hum!

With a spatial tremor, the Heaven-Asking Spear appeared in Yang Wu's hand.

"The third move of the 'Godslayer' spear technique—'Seven Kills'!"

This was the first time Yang Wu had used his full power since creating the third ultimate spear technique.

The countless spear beams filled the void, then quickly converged at a single point, directly piercing towards the Swamp Erosion Venerable's enormous tongue, which resembled a canopy of the sky.

The spear technique is the ultimate skill, the weapon is the most precious treasure, and even the strength of the divine body and the amplification secret technique are in no way inferior to ordinary cosmic venerables.

Although their understanding of the laws is much weaker...

However, the combination of these conditions, which complement each other, has already made him roughly comparable to a high-level cosmic venerable.

Although the Swamp Erosion Venerable may be stronger, a short-term confrontation is not a problem.

boom!

The Swamp Erosion Venerable's enormous tongue collided violently with the dazzling spear light.

The boundless power erupted instantly; even the aftershocks alone would likely annihilate some peak-level King-rank experts. Even stars and neutron stars would be directly shattered and annihilated under such an impact.

"What?"

The Swamp Erosion Venerable, who was blasted backward by the shockwave, had an expression of disbelief on his face. Even the many inheritors watching the battle from the surrounding safe zone were dumbfounded.

Because, in their eyes, the Divine Might King, who should have perished under such a terrifying attack, was still standing there as if nothing had happened, clearly unharmed.

"This is impossible!" Venerable Swamp Erosion roared furiously.

He has already unleashed his strongest power. Even a special life form like the King of Barking Mirror could not have escaped unscathed. So what makes the King of Divine Might so powerful?

But all the Swamp Erosion Venerable could do was roar!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The colorful aurora fell rapidly.

Like streaks of light arrows, they even completely sealed off the surrounding space.

Faced with such an attack from an extremely powerful treasure, Swamp Erosion Venerable had absolutely no way to struggle or resist.

puff!puff!puff!

With a series of soft sounds, the multicolored aurora swiftly pierced through the divine body of the Swamp Erosion Venerable.

The Swamp Erosion Venerable was like a bubble, rapidly shattering and dissipating under the attack of the multicolored aurora.

After completely annihilating the Swamp Erosion Venerable, the Five-Colored Aurora Lake once again soared into the sky.

Everything on Zijing Island returned to calm, but the countless inheritors around were all dumbfounded.

"The Swamp Erosion Venerable is dead! And the Divine Might King is unharmed?"

"Yes, the Swamp Erosion Venerable clearly went all out just now. Even a Universe Venerable wouldn't be able to escape unscathed. So what exactly happened to the Divine Might King?"

A group of beast god inheritors were discussing among themselves.

Meanwhile, Venerable Jueguang, who was not far away, looked relieved: "Thank goodness, thank goodness I didn't strike first!"

"However, since the Divine Might King was able to withstand the Swamp Erosion Venerable's full-force attack, he probably possesses some amazing treasure, perhaps even the number one treasure in that treasure trove!" Venerable Jueguang thought to himself.

As for the claim that Yang Wu has already broken through, it is highly unlikely in the eyes of Venerable Jueguang.

After all, it is most convenient to comprehend the laws at the realm master stage, and with the talent of the Divine Might King, he can indeed stay there for a period of time.

As for the burning of immortal divine power just now, it might just be an illusion created by using auxiliary life forms!

"However, whether it's a treasure or a breakthrough, this matter must be immediately reported to the Universe Lord within the Alliance!"

With this in mind, Venerable Jueguang immediately disappeared and returned to his residence, where he began to contact the super-strong individuals in the Zerg Alliance.

I really can't take it anymore.
