Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 403 Combat

"King Kamui, you are an opponent worthy of my challenge!"

King Barking Mirror stared at Yang Wu and said seriously, "You and I shall have a life-or-death battle, Divine Might King, do you dare or not?"

After hearing King Barking's words, all the beast god inheritors who had been watching the two of them fell silent and looked at Yang Wu.

King Barking's strength ranks among the top ten of the hundreds of millions of immortal inheritors, while King Divine Might survived a full-force attack from Swamp Erosion Venerable.

Who will emerge victorious in this battle between the two?

Of course, all of this is predicated on the fact that King Shenwei accepts the challenge from King Naijing.

If Yang Wu is truly afraid, then the reputation he has built up will be greatly damaged!

"A life-or-death battle?" Yang Wu found it somewhat amusing at this moment.

He had just appeared on this Purple Thorn Island after his breakthrough when he was first assassinated by the Swamp Erosion Venerable, and then the Lord of the Netherworld Demons descended upon him.

Now, even the King of Barking Mirrors has come out to provoke him!

"It's time to show my strength!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

Clearly, he survived the assassination attempt by the Swamp Erosion Venerable, which most people believe was due to the protection he received from a powerful treasure.

In reality, it was because Yang Wu's strength was also astonishing that he was able to remain unharmed by using the "Godslayer" spear technique with the Heaven-Asking Spear to neutralize most of the power of the Swamp Erosion Venerable's attack!

"King of the Mirror, since you want to die, I will naturally agree!" Yang Wu grinned.

"You accept?" King Barking's golden eyes gleamed with fierce light, his fighting spirit soaring.

"Of course!" Yang Wu looked at the other party with a hint of amusement.

At the same time, the many inheritors around them were all in an uproar.

"Divine Might King!" King Barking Mirror licked his lips, looked at Venerable Jiufeng beside Yang Wu, and said, "I'm talking about a battle in reality. You and I will both choose an area within the 'Ancestral Mystic Realm' to fight, and we both promise not to bring any help, but it will be a pure one-on-one life-or-death battle between you and me!"

Although King Barking Mirror was an extremely extraordinary and unique life form, he still held Venerable Jiufeng in considerable awe of his strength. After all, even if he were to become a Universe Venerable, he would still need to undergo a period of tempering before possessing the strength of a Universe Overlord.

Even among the universe's overlords, Venerable Jiufeng's strength is extremely formidable. With his protection, he would have no chance against the Divine Might King!

"No problem!" Yang Wu nodded slightly and said, "Just make sure you, King Barking Mirror, don't ask anyone else for help!"

Yang Wu, who was familiar with the original work, knew very well that King Barking Mirror had sought help from other powerful figures in both his battles with Venerable True Mirror and Luo Feng.

However, he still perished in the battle with Luo Feng!

"Arrogant!"

"Arrogant!"

Yang Wu's words shocked many of the inheritors around him.

To assume that King Mirror would ask others for help before the battle has even begun is incredibly arrogant!

At this moment, King Barking's face also showed anger.

"Who does he think he is? He only managed to withstand the attack of the Swamp Erosion Venerable with his treasure, and he dares to be so arrogant?"

"Just you wait, I'll make that Divine Might King pay the price!"

"Haha...very good." King Barking Mirror laughed in extreme anger: "Since that's the case, I'll wait and see King Divine Might unleash your divine power!"

"We'll choose an area relatively close to the Ancestral Mystic Realm teleportation point. I'll send you the cosmic coordinates!"

"Okay!" Yang Wu nodded with a smile.

"I hope that even in the battles to come, King Kamui, you'll be able to smile!"

Whoosh!

As soon as he finished speaking, King Barking vanished into thin air.

After looking around, Yang Wu returned to his residence with Venerable Jiufeng.

……

The news that Yang Wu and the King of Barking Mirror were about to engage in a life-or-death battle was quickly spread through the Glory World by many of the surrounding Beast God inheritors.

In an instant, the hundreds of millions of inheritors within the Ancestral God Sect were all in an uproar.

The fact that Yang Wu had just survived an assassination attempt by the Swamp Erosion Venerable made the news even more explosive.

In a short time, the news was transmitted to billions of races in the universe through many inheritors.

The major superpowers of the primordial universe learned of this news immediately, including the human race that possesses a virtual universe.

"What?! Divine King Yang Wu has become an immortal god? When did this happen?"

"What a joke! That King of the Barking Mirror is an extremely powerful and special life form. Even ordinary Universe Venerables could fall into his hands. Even though King of Divine Might has become an immortal, he is still far too reckless!"

"What do you know? If King Shenwei could withstand the attack of Venerable Swamp Erosion, what's a little trouble dealing with King Barking Mirror?"

"That's different! The fact that Divine Might King could withstand the Swamp Erosion Venerable's attack at most shows that his defense is amazing, but it doesn't mean that he possesses the strength of a Universe Venerable!"

"Besides, even if his defense is amazing, he'll probably still be humiliated by that Mirror King and lose face. It's better to just refuse him outright!"

"Moreover, the Swamp Erosion Venerable only had the power to strike once under the attack of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, but the Barking Mirror King can keep attacking. He might be able to exhaust the Divine Might King's immortal divine power, and then his supreme treasure will be taken away!"

Of course, although the vast majority of the cosmic venerables in the human race did not think highly of Yang Wu, there were a few who knew something about him.

For example, those who knew that Yang Wu had fused with the Star Pearl, such as the Nine Swords Venerable and the Ancestral Tree Venerable...

"I wonder if my disciple has any chance of defeating that Barking Mirror King?" Nine Swords Venerable thought to himself as he explored the secret realm.

If it were Yang Wu's Yan Shen Clan clone making a move, he certainly wouldn't have such doubts. However, Yang Wu's Earthling true self is indeed somewhat inferior in terms of life gene level, so he naturally doesn't know much about its strength.

Within the miniature universe of the strongest being of the giant axe, the Venerable Ancestral Tree wore a smile.

"The King of the Mirror? What a laughable and arrogant special life form! I wonder if King Kamui will have a chance to kill it this time!"

As a super being who also broke the shackles of the Star Bead, Venerable Ancestral Tree has an unparalleled understanding of Yang Wu's current strength.

In his view, King Barking Mirror was destined to lose this battle. If he didn't seek help from other powerful figures, he might actually perish!

……

Meanwhile, in his residence on Zijing Island, Yang Wu was communicating with Venerable Jiufeng.

"Divine Might King!" Venerable Jiufeng asked earnestly, "Although Venerable Barking Mirror King's strength is far inferior to Venerable Swamp Erosion's, his innate secret techniques are quite powerful. Are you really confident you can defeat him?"

Having learned a little about Yang Wu, Venerable Jiufeng naturally wouldn't doubt Yang Wu like others, but the enemy's strength was indeed very powerful, so he naturally had some doubts in his heart.

"Venerable Jiufeng, I am quite confident in dealing with that King of the Barking Mirror!" Yang Wu nodded seriously and said.

"However, this time I still need Venerable Jiufeng to help me hold off the reinforcements that King Barking Mirror has brought, so that I may have a chance to kill King Barking Mirror!"

"Kill King of the Barking Mirror?" Venerable Jiufeng was slightly stunned upon hearing this.

If Yang Wu could defeat King Feijing, that would be one thing, but to kill him is simply too unbelievable.

Of course, regardless of his true thoughts, Venerable Jiufeng earnestly said, "King Shenwei, rest assured, I can guarantee that no one will interfere in your battle with that King Feijing!"

In fact, Venerable Jiufeng was originally worried that Yang Wu had promised the King of the Flying Mirror, otherwise he would have secretly protected him.

But now, hearing what Yang Wu said, aside from the matter of killing King Feijing, he was quite satisfied with the other aspects.

After all, there's no need to keep a promise to alien races like the King of the Barking Mirror.

If Yang Wu were truly in danger, he would definitely step in!

"Thank you, Venerable Jiufeng!" Yang Wu expressed his sincere gratitude, then stood up and said, "The King of the Barking Mirror has already sent the coordinates; let's set off!"

Immediately, Venerable Jiufeng entered the world that Yang Wu was carrying, and Yang Wu also left the mansion. He then teleported to the square in front of the palace of the island lord of Zijing Island and was transported to the secret realm through the fountain water curtain.

……

Within a region of the Ancestral Mystic Realm, countless fragments of mountains float.

At this moment, on one of the mountain fragments with a diameter of tens of thousands of kilometers, stood a hunched figure—it was none other than King Barking Mirror!

"call out!"

A figure clad in dark gold armor suddenly appeared out of thin air and landed on another fragment of the mountain range.

"Divine Might King, you've finally arrived!" In the distant void, King Barking Mirror sneered, "I thought you wouldn't dare come!"

"You think you can take it?" Yang Wu couldn't help but sneer.

"Would Venerable Jiufeng have come with you?" King Feijing asked hesitantly.

"Don't worry! I can handle you all by myself!" Yang Wu mocked.

If King Barking Mirror had not sought help from other powerful figures, Venerable Dove Wind in the World Ring would naturally not have appeared.

……

The Ancestral God Cult, in the open-air plaza of the Glorious World.

Countless inheritors of the Beast Gods gathered here, all looking expectantly at the King of the Barking Mirror in the center of the square.

"Hahaha!" King Barking Mirror looked around, thinking, and said, "In this battle with King Divine Might, I will conduct a virtual network synchronized transmission, so everyone can see clearly who wins and who loses!"

In truth, King Feijing had no confidence whatsoever in killing Yang Wu. And his purpose wasn't solely for the treasure Yang Wu possessed.

After all, even if he couldn't kill the Divine Might King, he had already obtained enough wealth from the demon race's powerful figures and could still thoroughly humiliate them. Why not?

call out!

King Barking Mirror pointed into the void, and a hazy ray of light shot out, creating a phantom screen in mid-air.

On the screen, Yang Wu and Fei Jingwang stand facing each other from a distance.

This scene was also directly teleported back to the respective forces behind them by countless inheritors. For a time, countless powerful beings in the universe were watching this battle closely.

……

Within the Northern Frontier Alliance.

"Haha, that Divine Might King actually dared to accept the challenge from the Mirror King! He's definitely going to get thoroughly humiliated this time!"

"After all, King Kamui is a super genius of the human race. It would be very unwise for King Barking Mirror to directly clash with him!"

"Hmph! The four top races occupy the most core territories of the universe, and none of them are good people. It's only right that they be taught a lesson!"

The Northern Frontier Alliance was originally an alliance of powerful and ordinary races. After inviting the strongest being in the universe to take charge, it leaped to become one of the top forces in the original universe.

Therefore, most of the powerful figures in the Northern Frontier Alliance are quite dissatisfied with the four top races that occupy the core territory of the original universe.

……

Within the territory of the demon race, in a secret realm of the universe.

Inside the Sirius Palace, the Lord of Sirius is conversing with the avatar of the Lord of the Netherworld.

"You demon, you're quite fast! You took care of that Mirror King in such a short time!" Lord Sirius smiled.

"Haha!" The Lord of the Netherworld laughed as well, "That King of the Barking Mirror is indeed incredibly selfish and greedy! I only gave him a slight hint and offered him three top-tier treasures, and he completely agreed!"

"Haha, after all, it's a special life form that is born powerful, so it has to be different from others!" The Lord of Sirius said with a hint of mockery.

The Lord of the Netherworld also shook his head slightly.

Although special life forms are born powerful, their numbers are quite small, and their comprehension naturally cannot compare with that of extraordinary individuals among ordinary life forms.

Peerless geniuses among the demon race can even become cosmic venerables within hundreds of thousands of years, but what about the King of the Howling Mirror? Countless years have passed, and he is still just an immortal god! Although his combat power is comparable to that of a cosmic venerable, he is only slightly stronger.

"Let's take a closer look at the Divine Might King's abilities; hopefully, they won't be too powerful!"

……

"Divine Might King!" King Barking Mirror glared at Yang Wu, grinning maliciously, "Today I'll show you that special life forms are far more powerful than you imagine!"

"Enough with the nonsense, let's fight!" Yang Wu said, shaking his head.

"Arrogant human, since you want to die sooner, I'll grant your wish!"

boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, King Barking's divine power instantly ignited, his aura surged dramatically, and the powerful energy fluctuations caused the surrounding space to distort slightly.

"Clang!"

A cold, blood-red claw instantly appeared on the right claw of the Barking Mirror King, its sharp claws subtly tearing through the surrounding space.

boom!

Yang Wu smiled disdainfully and instantly burned his immortal divine power as well.

Of course, in terms of sheer aura, Yang Wu, whose life gene level is only a hundred times higher, is certainly no match for a special life form as extraordinary as the King of the Barking Mirror.

In combat, basic strength is just one of the influencing factors!

"Hahaha!"

Sensing the difference in their auras, King Barking Mirror was overjoyed and roared telepathically, "King Divine Might, let me let you try my strongest innate secret technique!"

Suddenly, King Barking opened his mouth wide!

quiet!

The entire world fell completely silent in an instant, and King Barking's mouth was wide open.

The many inheritors in the world of Glory were all shocked when they saw this scene.

"I didn't expect King Barking to use his strongest innate secret technique right from the start!"

"Yes, King Barking Mirror defeated a Universe Venerable head-on using this innate secret technique. This time, King Divine Might is in big trouble!"

"Hehe, you probably don't know, but that Divine Might King withstood the soul attack of the Swamp Erosion Venerable head-on!"

Many inheritors of the Beast God's legacy discussed it among themselves.

The instant the King of the Barking Mirror opened his mouth, Yang Wu felt an invisible soul attack descend upon him.

"roar!"

An extremely powerful soul attack instantly rushed into Yang Wu's mind.

Unfortunately, Yang Wu's will is now comparable to that of a Universe Venerable, and he also has the support of the Burning Heaven Treasure Mirror and the second level of mental state, which makes him even more formidable than a mere Barking Mirror King.

Even if the opponent becomes a Universe Venerable, he probably wouldn't be able to threaten Yang Wu with a soul attack!

Therefore, the attack of the King of Barking's innate secret technique was like a gentle breeze to Yang Wu, having no effect whatsoever.

"How is this possible?" King Barking Mirror looked shocked.

Although he knew in his heart that his soul attack could not kill Yang Wu, it was impossible for it to be blocked so easily.

"It must be a soul-type treasure!" The expression in King Barking's eyes became extremely complex, showing either greed or jealousy.

I'll try to finish this storyline tomorrow.
