Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 405 Movements from All Sides

The synchronized transmission of the footage had long since disappeared due to the death of the King of the Barking Mirror, but countless inheritors of the Beast Gods were still immersed in the scene of Yang Wu killing the King of the Barking Mirror.

That's absolutely amazing!

These inheritors were already elites from various races, and their strength increased even more after they came to the Ancestral God Sect and received the inheritance of the Beast God.

Despite cultivating for countless years, these people were still no match for those extraordinary beings who defied the heavens.

However, Yang Wu, with an ordinary life form, defeated the unique and special life form that was the King of the Barking Mirror, which was unique in the universe!

More importantly, how short was Yang Wu's training period?

Among the hundreds of millions of ordinary beings on Purple Thorn Island who are immortal-level inheritors, there are some who are able to kill the Barking Mirror King.

For example, the Azure Crane King, who comes from an ordinary race!

The Azure Crane King was originally from an ordinary race. During his adventures in the universe, he obtained the Beast God's Inheritance Token by chance and then came to this Ancestral God Sect.

Although his foundation was slightly weaker and his amplification techniques were not very profound at the time, he had already created several extremely powerful peak techniques. Not long after, he obtained a very precious treasure in the treasure trove.

As time went by, the Azure Crane King gradually gained the attention of the Ancestral God Sect. Even after becoming a fourth-level inheritor, he was taken in as an outer member of the Ancestral God Sect by a guardian deity.

With the guidance of the Lord of the Universe, the Azure Crane King's strength continued to advance by leaps and bounds. He even created several ultimate secret techniques, making his strength incredibly astonishing and enough to rank him among the top three immortal-level inheritors!

However, even if Qinghe Wang is already exceptionally talented, how can he compare to Yang Wu in front of him?

It should be noted that thousands of years ago, the Lord of the Universe pointed out that the Divine King's cultivation period was extremely short.

Now, thousands of years have passed, and everyone originally thought that Yang Wu had hidden himself in a safe place to cultivate in order to avoid assassination attempts by alien races. No one expected that Yang Wu would reappear this time, not only becoming an immortal god but also possessing such astonishing strength.

"Throughout countless ages, there has probably only been one peerless figure as astounding as the Divine King!"

Countless super-powerful beings from all races in the universe secretly sighed in their hearts.

We should strive to be like Yang Wu.

Firstly, one must possess the strength to kill a special life form of the same level that defies the heavens; such powerful individuals are extremely rare!

Secondly, the cultivation speed must be fast enough! Otherwise, it wouldn't have amazed so many inheritors!

After all, they are all at the very top of the ranks of those who have achieved the title of King and Immortal, and each of them can be called an unparalleled genius!

……

After this battle, Yang Wu completely conquered the countless alien inheritors on Zijing Island. Even those alien powerhouses who were constantly in conflict with human races were all convinced!

After all, no matter how powerful the treasures he possesses or how strong his life-saving abilities are, if his own strength is insufficient, how can he kill the King of the Barking Mirror?

As the news spread, the video of Yang Wu killing the King of the Flying Mirror alone was quickly transmitted back to their respective factions through these inheritors.

……

"Kill him! You must kill him!"

In the endless starry sky, a roar suddenly rang out, causing all the star-sized flames scattered throughout the void to tremble.

Within the majestic Sirius Palace, the Sirius Lord's emerald eyes gleamed with a crazed killing intent: "This Divine Might King must not be allowed to live!"

Opposite the Lord of Sirius sat the Lord of the Netherworld, who also exuded an astonishing aura.

At this moment, the Lord of the Netherworld also harbored boundless killing intent towards Yang Wu. Upon witnessing Yang Wu's killing of the King of the Barking Mirror, he felt a trace of fear in his heart.

"Even though the Divine Might King possesses an offensive treasure, he is far inferior in terms of life gene level. His ability to kill the Mirror King single-handedly suggests he must have already created the third ultimate secret technique!"

The Lord of Sirius roared, "How long has he been cultivating? He must have created an ultimate secret technique while still at the Realm Lord stage!"

"Lord of Sirius, are you saying that he may have fused with the Star Pearl?" the Lord of the Netherworld asked in surprise.

The Star Bead is a special treasure that appeared on the primordial star countless ages ago.

At that time, more than 10,000 Star Beads were born on the original star. Because of their large number, they did not attract much attention. As a result, many forces in the universe obtained some.

However, as people learned of the Star Pearl's ability to create clones, its value became incredibly precious.

The only pity is that after fusing with the Star Pearl, it becomes even more difficult to break through the original core's shackles and achieve immortality. Over countless years, only a handful of geniuses in the universe have succeeded.

Anything that can fuse with the Star Beads and break free from its shackles to become an immortal super being can definitely occupy a place in the universe!

"Yes!" the Lord of Sirius said in a deep voice, "If that Divine Might King truly fused with the Star Pearl, he must have already given birth to an extremely extraordinary special life form as an avatar!"

"Add to that his astonishing comprehension; he could probably become a Universe Venerable in a very short time!"

"Once he becomes a cosmic sovereign, killing him will be even more difficult!"

"That's true!" The Lord of the Netherworld nodded in agreement. "But even the Swamp Erosion Venerable couldn't kill him. Are we going to send out a cosmic overlord to take action?"

You should know that a cosmic overlord can lead his race to dominate a region, let alone a cosmic overlord who has joined the peripheral forces of the Ancestral God Cult.

These people all have the ambition to become the master of the universe through the path of the Beast God, so how could they be willing to give up their future to assassinate Yang Wu?

And a cosmic overlord who is not a successor of the Beast God is simply unable to go to the Ancestral God Cult to carry out an assassination!

"Human, Divine King!"

The Lord of Sirius stood in the center of the hall, his deep blue eyes flashing with killing intent. Among the many universe lords of the demon race, his cunning and treachery were definitely among the top!

"I'm afraid this matter still needs to be reported to the Dream Demon Ancestor and the Tremor Demon Ancestor. Only with the personal orders of the two ancestors can those cosmic overlord-level beast god inheritors or candidate god generals be commanded!"

"Indeed! I didn't expect this would alarm the two patriarchs!" The Lord of the Netherworld sighed as well. "When I first saw that Divine Might King, a mere World Lord-level brat, although his cultivation time was short, I didn't take him seriously!"

"I never imagined that after thousands of years, he would actually kill King Barking Mirror with his own strength! That was an ultimate secret technique! Even the secret techniques we created are only at this level!"

Although the Lord of the Universe has a higher level of understanding of the laws, most of the time he only uses the ultimate secret techniques of the Lord of the Universe.

……

In a universe possessed solely by the Machine Race.

Countless crystalline threads connect planets, stars, and even the entire universe, like a giant net connecting different parts of space within the universe.

"My children!" A majestic voice resounded throughout every corner of this universe: "That human Divine King, who has only cultivated for a few thousand years, already possesses such formidable strength? Capable of single-handedly and directly killing a special life form with a genetic level two thousand times higher? Is this true?"

"Father God, the powerful figures within our clan who are affiliated with the Ancestral God Cult have sent back news; it is indeed true!"

"Yes, Father God! I have also questioned Obsidian Venerable, who was in charge of assassinating the Divine Might King. He personally witnessed the Divine Might King withstand the soul attack of Swamp Erosion Venerable. Although the demon race is despicable, they made a good choice in their target. Swamp Erosion Venerable is extremely skilled in soul attacks, yet he still failed!"

"Father God... that Divine King must not be allowed to live!"

"Father God, give the order!"

Voices echoed from every corner of the universe, and everyone was united as one. This was the Machine Race, the incredibly united Machine Race!

"That Divine King's cultivation time is far too short!" The voice of the Mechanical Race's Father God was filled with astonishment. "To be able to create an ultimate secret technique in just a few thousand years—his comprehension is truly terrifying!"

"If we allow him to continue growing, he will definitely become a huge threat to our machine race in the future!"

Suddenly, the Machine God recalled a super-powerful being from the human race, the Primal Ancestor.

In his prime, the Primordial Ancestor roamed the universe, and no powerful being dared to oppose him. Although he had no soul and was unafraid of the Primordial Ancestor's soul attacks, he himself did not possess the supreme treasure armor to protect him, and was therefore unable to withstand the Primordial Ancestor's material attacks.

Now, with the newly emerged Divine King of the human race possessing such extraordinary comprehension, he might very well become the second Primordial Ancestor of the human race. How could he allow him to continue to grow?

"My children, I will handle this matter; you don't need to worry about it!" the mechanical father god said in a deep voice.

"yes!"

"Yes, Father God!"

……

In an instant, the three top races—the Machine Race, the Insect Race, and the Demon Race—were all shaken, and the news was directly transmitted to the strongest beings in the universe of the three races!

It is important to know that the four dominant races—humans, demons, insects, and machines—have territories that are adjacent to each other, and they have been fighting and killing each other for territory and resources!

Over countless years, the four dominant clans have accumulated countless grudges. Of course, in this battle, one super strong person after another has been born.

The four dominant races occupy the most core territories in the entire universe. They look down on other races, even the Prison Race and the Crystal Race. What they value most are the other three races.

Once a certain group grows powerful, the other three parties will subtly join forces. There's no need for secret discussions; they will naturally reach a consensus on certain matters.

If one side is weak, the other three sides will quickly take advantage of the situation!

For example, during the time when the Primordial Ancestor roamed the Cosmic Sea, although the Machine Race Father God, the Zerg Queen, and the Dream Demon Race could not contend with him in the Cosmic Sea, they united together in the Primordial Universe to resist the Primordial Ancestor's expansion of the human race.

During the growth of the Demon Ancestor, the Demon Clan was targeted by the human race, the insect race, and the machine race. The three races even hired the strongest being in the Lone Universe to assassinate him!

Unfortunately, Zhen Yaozu's strength and opportunities were both incredibly extraordinary, and he eventually broke through to the level of the strongest being in the universe!

After news of Yang Wu spread, the strongest beings in the universe from the three major races, including the Zerg, could no longer sit still.

It should be noted that with Yang Wu's talent and comprehension, it probably wouldn't take him long to reach the level of the Ancestral Tree Venerable.

If that happens, even the strongest being in the universe would probably be unable to kill him in the primordial universe!

……

Although other forces such as the Northern Frontier Alliance also wanted Yang Wu to perish, from the perspective of the entire force, it was relatively easy.

After all, if Yang Wu really grows up, the first to be affected will be the three top races: the Mechanical Race, the Demon Race, and the Insect Race.

Therefore, powerful factions like the Starry Sky Beast Alliance, the Prison Clan, and the Crystal Clan were happy to watch from the sidelines, observing the scheming and fighting among the four dominant races!

In an instant, countless forces throughout the primordial universe were shaken.

The shock was even greater among the human race and within the Hong Alliance!

……

The hillside of Thunder Island stretches as far as the eye can see.

On a small island with an extremely beautiful environment, hundreds of cosmic venerables from the Virtual Universe Company have gathered.

"I never imagined that in just a few thousand years, the little guy who just participated in the Genius Battle would have grown to a level comparable to mine!"

"Yes, for the Divine Might King to kill that Mirror-Breaking King, he must possess at least the strength of a mid-level Universe Venerable. It's truly unbelievable!"

"Don't forget, given the Divine King's strength, the clan's higher-ups have undoubtedly already helped him create an even more powerful avatar!"

"Yes, King Kamui's clone must be even more powerful now!"

A group of cosmic venerables exclaimed in admiration.

Although most of them did not have clones, that was because they did not perform exceptionally well during their weaker periods.

If it were a genius like Venerable Corruption or Cortina, the higher-ups of their clan would definitely help them obtain a suitable method to create an avatar before they broke through to immortality.

For example, possessing the body of a golden-horned behemoth with the ability to create clones. Or a colossal beast, or even a special life form!

Although the process of possessing a special life form is very dangerous, Coty and the others are confident that they can succeed!

Therefore, most of the peerless geniuses at the realm lord level in the human race who have received high attention from the higher-ups are able to obtain the talent of creating clones.

Given Yang Wu's talent, it would be inconceivable that he couldn't be granted the ability to create clones!

……

Within the human realm, in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, in the homeland of the Golden Horn Clan.

At this moment, the Immortal King of the Tawen Tribe, Si Fanqi, had just led his team to complete a mission issued by the human race when he was immediately summoned by a group of elders to the Elder Palace in the Holy City of the Golden Horn Tribe.

"Elders!"

Inside the Elder Palace, Teraban Ki looked at the several figures radiating astonishing auras ahead and respectfully greeted them.

The figures before him were all cosmic venerables, the true pillars of the Golden Horn Clan.

However, these elders showed no airs in front of Si Fanqi. One of them even smiled and said, "Si Fanqi, you did a great job inviting the Divine Might King to visit my Golden Horn Clan's hometown!"

"After deliberation among us elders, we have decided to exceptionally elevate your Tawen tribe to the status of an elder tribe. Sifanqi, you may also choose any three sets of secret techniques from the Secret Technique Tower to cultivate!"

"Elder, I..." Terafan Ki asked, somewhat puzzled.

When the name of the Divine King spread throughout the universe, he had already received the blessing from the elders, but now it's happening again.

"Could it be that His Highness Yang Wu has done something astonishing again?" Si Fanqi thought to himself.

"Alright, you may step down!" one of the elders said.

"Yes!" Although he was puzzled, since an elder had given the order, Terafan Ki could only respectfully withdraw.

At the same time, he also began to connect his consciousness to the virtual universe and went into the Hongmeng to inquire about information.

After Terabaki left, the Golden Horn Clan elders in the Elder Palace sighed with emotion.

"Even within my Golden Horn Clan, the Divine Might King's current strength would probably rank him among the top five!"

"Yes! And this is just the beginning. When the Divine King becomes a Universal Venerable, he will likely be even more powerful, perhaps even more powerful than the great Elder Herodotus!"

The Golden Horn Clan's powerful members weren't very well-informed, but because of the "Seven Transformations of Divine Evolution" left behind by Hirodo, some of the Beast God inheritors who cultivated the "Gold and Void" fusion law had certain connections with the Golden Horn Clan.

Therefore, after Yang Wu killed the King of the Barking Mirror, many powerful members of the Golden Horn Clan immediately learned of this news, which led to the scene that just unfolded.

"If the Divine King can become the great ruler of the universe, given the connection between him and my Golden Horn Clan, perhaps we can ask him to resurrect the great Elder Herodo!" a Golden Horn Clan elder suddenly said.

"Resurrect Elder Herodo?" The other elders were also slightly taken aback, but then they were all tempted.

After Herodo's fall, the Golden Horned Clan had no choice but to become a vassal state of the human race in order to survive.

Although as a vassal group of humanity, they can receive protection from the human race, they are ultimately not free, and they have to live in a secret space in the universe!

If Herodo were to truly be resurrected, the Golden Horned Clan might be able to escape the cosmic secret realm and live a peaceful life!

……

On Zijing Island, Yang Wu, who had already returned to his residence, was unaware of the thoughts and intentions of the other clans and forces.

"We were able to successfully kill King Barking this time thanks to Venerable Jiufeng for stopping Venerable Peifeng!" Yang Wu thought to himself as he examined the treasures left behind by King Barking.

After King Barking fell, only a few treasures remained; most of the others had been reduced to nothingness by the immense impact.

Among them, the most precious treasure is naturally the supreme armor worn by King Barking Mirror.

The other treasures are a set of four claw-shaped treasures called "Heaven-Devouring Claws" and a few ordinary treasures. The total value of these treasures is at most a few thousand treasure points.

After a moment's thought, Yang Wu said to Venerable Jiufeng beside him, "Venerable Jiufeng, I was able to kill King Feijing this time thanks to your help. How about we split the spoils equally?"

Both Yang Wu and Venerable Jiufeng possessed precious armor, so Yang Wu planned to contribute all the spoils of war to the clan before making any distribution.

However, Venerable Jiufeng, who was standing to the side, immediately refused, saying, "Divine Might King, you killed King Feijing all by yourself, so the treasure naturally belongs to you alone!"

"There's no need to mention this again!"

In Venerable Jiufeng's eyes, although a supreme treasure of armor was precious, it was insignificant compared to Yang Wu's favor. He certainly knew how to choose.

Despite repeated persuasion, Venerable Jiufeng remained unwilling to accept it, so Yang Wu had no choice but to give up. He then connected his consciousness to the virtual universe and went to see his teacher, Venerable Nine Swords.

After all, Yang Wu had always kept in mind the matter of the Nine Swords Venerable borrowing the treasure armor from Luo Feng in the original work!

Now that he had the opportunity, he naturally thought of the Nine Swords Venerable.
