Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 417 Lord of the Void (6000 words, to be updated on April 12)

"Divine King, I will not give you any more chances!" Venerable Fire Erosion roared angrily.

Even though the Divine Might King had broken through to the level of the Universe Venerable, he was not too afraid of him.

After all, when two powerful individuals clash, they usually bring their weapons together first.

Therefore, after being blocked by weapons, the remaining power is much weaker. After being weakened by the Supreme Armor, unless the difference in strength is too great, it is difficult to cause effective damage to the enemy.

Only through a fighting style that completely trades damage for damage, like the one just now, where the divine body is directly hit by the opponent's attack, will a large amount of divine body be lost.

"Even if you truly become a cosmic sovereign, how many exquisite secret techniques could you create in such a short time?"

The Venerable Fiery sneered inwardly, "Even if the Divine Might King's treasures are more powerful, my divine body far surpasses his. Even if it's just a matter of attrition, I can wear him down!"

The Fire Venerable's divine body had reached a size of over a hundred kilometers, so Yang Wu's divine body, which was less than two meters tall, was naturally incredibly weak in his eyes.

"Hahaha, Venerable Fiery Devourer, unleash all your skills!"

boom!

Yang Wu and Venerable Fiery's attacks clashed once again.

This time, however, Venerable Fire Erosion had done his best to defend, and the blood-red battle blade in his hand, which emitted a ghostly light, barely managed to block the Flaming Spear in Yang Wu's hand, causing Yang Wu to only be able to completely blast Venerable Fire Erosion away.

However, this time, the power of the ultimate secret technique "Surprising Beauty" of the Universe Venerable was greatly weakened after being weakened by the treasured battle blade in the hands of the Fire Erosion Venerable. The remaining power became negligible after being weakened by the treasured armor, making it difficult to cause effective damage to the Fire Erosion Venerable.

"Hmph, this Venerable Fire Eclipse is probably even stronger than Master Nine Swords!"

Yang Wu was not too surprised to see his attack blocked; instead, he sighed inwardly.

That makes sense, after all, Venerable Fire Eclipse is a rare genius in the history of humankind. After cultivating for hundreds of millions of years, although he has not created the ultimate secret technique of the Universe Venerable, he is extremely close.

Although Yang Wu's "Jinghong" was the ultimate secret technique of a Universe Venerable, it focused more on speed, so it was not surprising that it was blocked by the opponent.

After all, Venerable Fiery had accumulated billions of years of experience, and with a teacher who was a master of the universe, the weapons and armor he used had all reached the level of supreme treasures.

In a normal battle between cosmic overlords, ordinary treasures are sufficient for defense!

Only true top-tier cosmic overlords can reach the limit of ordinary supreme treasures in terms of offensive power, thus greatly reducing its power.

What Yang Wu didn't know was that Venerable Fire Erosion was also secretly alarmed.

"This Divine Might King is far too powerful! Even after I used my weapon to parry and weaken it, the power of this attack is almost reaching the limit that my treasured armor can withstand!"

"Could it be that he has already created the ultimate secret technique of a cosmic sovereign?"

At this moment, Yang Wu had no time to care about what Venerable Fiery was thinking. He only knew that if he wanted to kill Venerable Fiery in front of him, he had to finish the battle quickly.

Otherwise, once other powerful members of the human race arrive, it will be much more difficult for him to kill them.

After all, Venerable Fire Eclipse is considered one of the high-ranking members of the human race.

"Hmph!" Yang Wu sneered inwardly, thinking, "You can withstand 'Surprising Beauty' which excels in speed, but I wonder if you can withstand my other move, 'Meteor Shower'!"

It should be noted that in the dozens of simulations that Yang Wu has experienced over the past few thousand years, although he has not comprehended the complete laws of time and become the master of the universe, his research on secret techniques has never stopped. As for the ultimate secret technique of the universe venerable, he has even created two sets.

Among these, the "Surprising Beauty" that was just unleashed is more adept at speed, and naturally inferior in terms of offensive power;

However, the other technique, "Meteor," is the secret technique most adept at frontal attacks. Moreover, it was created earlier and has now undergone a long period of refinement through simulation, making it Yang Wu's most powerful ultimate move.

"Meteor!"

Thinking of this, Yang Wu immediately unleashed another of his ultimate secret techniques of the Cosmic Venerable.

"Boom!!"

Countless streams of divine power, after burning, rapidly flowed into the Flaming Spear in Yang Wu's hand. Then, the secret runes on the Flaming Spear lit up again, forming a set of law runes completely different from before.

……

The third battle between Yang Wu and Venerable Fire Eclipse!

"This Divine Might King truly lives up to his reputation as one of the most amazing geniuses in human history. Even though he has just broken through to the Cosmic Venerable realm, he is already able to suppress me!"

At this moment, Venerable Fire Eclipse had regained some composure, but he was already thinking about what to do next.

"Although Chaluo wanted to buy all of Earth first, that Divine Might King was completely unreasonable and directly killed Chaluo and the others. Even if it goes all the way to the Lord of the Universe, I'm not afraid!"

"However, since Chaluo has already perished, it would be best to acquire ownership of this Earth. This way, it will be easier to ask the teacher to revive Chaluo!"

"As for this Divine Might King..."

"Boom!!"

While Venerable Fire Eclipse was still pondering, he clashed with Yang Wu once more.

But this time, at the very moment that Yang Wu's flaming spear clashed with the blood-red battle blade in the hands of the Fire Venerable.

"impossible!"

The Fire Venerable's eyes widened, and the black flames surrounding his body suddenly erupted. He roared and used all his strength to block the blood-red battle blade in his hand that emitted a ghostly light in front of him.

call out!

A dazzling crimson spear light, powerful enough to shake the very soul of Venerable Corrosion, shone forth!

The crimson spear light, though seemingly slow, carried an unparalleled momentum as it rushed towards Venerable Corrosion.

Peng!

The crimson battle blade in the hands of Venerable Fiery Corrosion was thrown away, transforming into a streak of crimson light that rushed into the depths of the void.

Shocking!

Unstoppable!

The power of this crimson spear light barely diminished after deflecting the blood-red battle blade, and then it struck the body of the Fire-Eroding Venerable with great force.

"What... what kind of spear technique is this?" Venerable Fire Erosion was filled with terror.

Boom!

Yang Wu's spear thrust was so powerful that it directly reached the limit that the treasure armor worn by Venerable Fiery Corrosion could withstand. The treasure armor, which was originally able to reduce the impact force to one ten-thousandth, only reduced the power of this attack to less than one percent!

In just a moment, Venerable Fire Erosion's divine body was damaged by 37%!

This filled the Fiery Venerable, who had narrowly escaped the attack, with immense fear: "I possess a supreme armor to protect me, and my divine body is incredibly vast, yet I still lost nearly half of my divine body in this single blow!"

"Not good!" At this moment, Venerable Corrosive Fire, who had lost his treasured battle sword, knew that if Yang Wu attacked again, he would surely die.

At this moment, the incredibly powerful crimson spear light shone once again.

"Run!!"

Faced with a life-or-death crisis, Venerable Fire Eclipse no longer cared about avenging his only son or even seizing ownership of the Earth; he had already begun a frantic escape.

But no matter how fast he is, how can he outrun Yang Wu's attack?

The crimson spear light streaked across the void, creating terrifying spatial vortexes in its wake, shredding all the spatial fragments within the spatial turbulence.

puff!

Just as the crimson spear light pierced the body of the Fire Venerable once again, the hundreds-of-meters-tall divine body instantly annihilated, leaving only a supreme treasure radiating astonishing pressure suspended in the void. As for the World Ring and the blood-red battle blade, they had already been thrown into the distant void.

"The supreme treasure of the Venerable Fire Eclipse!"

With a wave of his hand, Yang Wu's boundless domain instantly spread out, gathering the spoils scattered in the endless spatial turbulence into his own hands.

After sensing the divine power imprints within several treasures and the World Ring, Yang Wu was not surprised at all.

After all, Venerable Fire Eclipse was a super genius among the human race millions of years ago. Before he broke through to immortality, the human race had already helped him obtain the method of creating clones.

Of course, that's why Yang Wu killed his opponent so directly.

After all, Venerable Fire Eclipse and the others are also members of the human race, and Yang Wu cannot go too far.

The immortal gods like Nightmare Candle King were not controlled by the soul, so the Lord of the Universe could use his methods to reverse time and resurrect them without paying a heavy price. However, if Venerable Fire Erosion were to completely perish, the price of reversing time and resurrecting a high-level cosmic venerable would be much higher.

"The Fire Venerable lost an avatar this time, which should be considered a profound lesson!" Yang Wu thought to himself as he casually put the treasures left behind by the Fire Venerable into a world ring.

He killed the true form of the Fire-Eating Venerable merely to demonstrate his determination to protect Earth; as for the supreme treasure, he didn't really care much about it.

Moreover, if I were to actually accept these treasures, it would make me seem rather greedy.

"However, I need to carefully consider how to handle the follow-up matters!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

Yang Wu knew very well that the deaths of Venerable Fire Erosion and King Nightmare in his hands would cause a huge uproar among the human race, and might even arouse dissatisfaction among some universe lords, especially those in the Giant Axe Arena.

However, Yang Wu did not regret it. Killing the Nightmare Candle King and the Fire Erosion Venerable behind him was a result of his careful consideration.

In fact, Yang Wu could have chosen not to kill these people. After all, in previous simulations, the handling of Earth's ownership had become quite reasonable.

But Yang Wu ultimately chose to kill Nightmare Candle King and the others!

After all, in the original story, the Nightmare Candle King was extremely capricious in his treatment of Earthlings!

If it weren't for True King's prior preparations and the timely arrival of Nine Swords Venerable's subordinates, Luo Feng might have actually been killed by Nightmare Candle King and others, and the fate of Earthlings would have become even more arduous.

Moreover, in many previous simulations, this incident had also put enormous pressure on Yang Wu.

Of course, the most important point is that Yang Wu wants to use the deaths of these people to show others his determination to protect the people of Earth, thereby gaining a greater advantage in the upcoming negotiations!

As for how to handle the situation within the human race, Yang Wu already had a solution in mind.

……

On the other side, the Black Crow King, who had been watching the battle under Yang Wu's protection, was stunned and stood there.

He had long since become Yang Wu's soul servant, so over the past few thousand years, he had also gained some understanding of many powerful figures in the human camp.

The recently fallen Venerable Fire Eclipse was already renowned throughout the universe billions of years ago. His strength was enough to rank him among the top three in his Crow Clan.

Yet, such a powerful being fell so easily at Yang Wu's hands.

"Kill the chicken to scare the monkey...kill the chicken to scare the monkey!"

The Black Crow King was utterly shocked: "Master just said he wanted to make an example of someone, could it be that the 'chicken' Master was referring to?"

The fall of such a powerful being as Venerable Kehuo is probably no small matter, even among the elite human race.

……

The Giant Axe Realm is a cosmic realm with a diameter exceeding one million light-years, and it is also one of the core realms of the Giant Axe Arena.

Among the many geniuses in the core layer of the Giant Axe Arena, only the most talented can live in this Giant Axe Secret Realm. In terms of status, it is in no way inferior to the original secret realm of the Virtual Universe Company.

In the heart of this Giant Axe Secret Realm, a massive mountain range covered in black flames floats suspended in the void.

Suddenly, a phantom-like figure, the size of a small mountain, rose up on a mountain peak. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a strangely shaped giant beast.

This behemoth was tens of thousands of kilometers long. Suddenly, it opened its huge vertical eye between its eyebrows, its eyes filled with shock and resentment.

This behemoth was an avatar that Venerable Fiery had created before breaking through to immortality. However, the behemoth's life gene level was not very high, and it was almost the same as Venerable Fiery's original body, so their combat power was not much different.

"I actually perished within the territory of the human race, and at the hands of one of their own powerful members!"

"However, if it were my giant beast avatar that encountered the Divine Might King, I wouldn't have perished like that!" Venerable Fiery thought to himself.

His avatar's divine body was far larger than his original form, so it was naturally not easily killed by the opponent.

"I never imagined that in just a few thousand years, the Divine Might King's strength would have become so formidable! It's truly unbelievable!" Venerable Fiery couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

"From the very beginning of our battle, they were able to completely suppress me. Later, they unleashed such terrifying marksmanship that they directly annihilated 37% of my divine body!"

"Moreover, this is his true form! If it were a powerful clone he created, its strength would likely be even more terrifying!"

Having lived for hundreds of millions of years, Venerable Fire Eclipse became increasingly calm after his own demise.

Although he didn't know what kind of clone Yang Wu had created, he was quite certain of it.

After all, even he obtained the technique of creating clones from the higher-ups of the human race before breaking through to immortality. The Divine Might King's talent and comprehension are even stronger, so he will definitely obtain an even more amazing technique of creating clones.

"However, the most important thing now is to inform the teacher as soon as possible!"

As Venerable Fiery Reaper re-emerged his original essence, he secretly thought, "Perhaps there's still a chance to recover my treasures this way!"

The supreme weapons and armor he carries represent all the treasures he has accumulated over countless eons. If he were to lose them, his best possessions would likely be just a few top-tier artifacts, which would undoubtedly cause his strength to drop significantly.

Thinking of this, Venerable Fire Eclipse immediately connected his consciousness to the virtual universe and rushed to his teacher, Lord of False Gold's palace.

……

In a highly privileged plane within the virtual universe, several incomparably majestic palaces stand shrouded in endless currents of energy.

Suddenly, a slightly disheveled figure appeared in front of one of the palace gates; it was none other than Venerable Fiery Erosion.

"Disciple requests an audience with Master!" Venerable Fiery stood before the palace and respectfully called out.

"Come in!" A majestic voice echoed from inside the hall.

Venerable Fire Eclipse hurriedly entered the main hall and immediately saw the towering figure in front of him, who was none other than the Lord of Void Gold, one of the greatest super beings in the Giant Axe Arena.

The Lord of Void Gold possesses considerable strength, and having existed for countless ages, his status among the human race is naturally exceptionally noble. Especially among the many super beings on the Giant Axe Arena side, aside from the most powerful Giant Axe user, his status is the most esteemed.

Moreover, because the strongest of the Giant Axe dislikes trivial matters, the daily affairs of the Giant Axe Arena are mostly managed by the Lord of Void Gold.

This struggle for ownership of Earth, triggered by the unique characteristics of the planet, was initiated by the Lord of Virtual Gold.

The strongest being of the giant axe had just returned to the original universe from the cosmic sea and immediately went to Earth to investigate its special characteristics.

Unexpectedly, this investigation uncovered a secret that the Lord of Chaos City had not discovered before.

At that time, the strongest of the Giant Axe was communicating with the Lord of Void Gold in the virtual universe, so the Lord of Void Gold naturally learned of this news immediately.

Although the human race is a unified whole, it is not as united as the machine race, and many super beings also have their own selfish motives.

In the eyes of the Lord of False Gold, since Earth is extremely special, it will naturally gain an advantage in future negotiations with the other four major powers if it is controlled by a powerful figure in the Giant Axe Arena.

Therefore, after understanding the unique characteristics of Earth, the Lord of False Gold immediately instructed his disciples to find a way to acquire ownership of Earth.

That's why Nightmare King and others went to Earth.

"Teacher!" Venerable Fire Erosion greeted respectfully upon entering the main hall.

"Erosion Fire, you've come to see me. Have you already acquired ownership of that Earth?" the Lord of Void Gold asked with a smile.

The Lord of Void Gold has many disciples, including several cosmic overlords, but among them, he particularly admires the Venerable of Erosion Fire.

Firstly, Venerable Fire Eclipse is still very young and has great talent, so there is still a lot of room for improvement in the future;

Secondly, Venerable Fire Erosion possesses the ability to create clones, making him more capable of preserving his life than other disciples who do not have clones.

After all, not every cosmic venerable will display amazing talent before becoming an immortal god, and the human race cannot equip every human genius with the method of creating an avatar. Just like the Nine Swords Venerable, even though he was already quite amazing, he did not receive the help of his race to obtain the method of creating an avatar before becoming immortal.

Once you become an immortal god, obtaining the method to create a clone becomes as difficult as ascending to heaven!

Upon hearing the Lord of Illusory Gold's words, Venerable Fiery Flame's face flashed with helplessness, then he respectfully said, "Master, my true form has just perished!"

"What did you say?" The Lord of Void Gold was slightly surprised by this, then asked, "Did you encounter a team of alien cosmic overlords?"

In the eyes of the Lord of False Gold, with the strength of the Venerable Fire Erosion, even if he encountered an ordinary cosmic overlord, he would not be without a chance to ask for help.

But Venerable Ke Huo has not left human territory recently, so how could he have perished?

Venerable Fiery Erosion hurriedly shook his head and said, "Master, I perished near Earth at the hands of the Divine Might King, a member of the Virtual Universe Company!"

"The Divine Might King?" The Lord of Void Gold was completely stunned.

joke?

Although he had heard about Yang Wu killing King Feijing, how could a King-level Immortal possibly kill a high-level Universe Venerable who possessed a supreme treasure armor?

Even Yang Wu, who killed King Feijing, couldn't have done it.

It should be noted that, although both are supreme treasure armors, the King-level Immortal can only activate the first level of the armor at most, and its power and capacity are both very limited; however, the Universe Venerable, with his complete superior laws, can at least activate the armor's power to the second level, or even the third level.

Therefore, even though both possessed the same treasured armor, Venerable Fire Erosion's defensive capabilities were more than a thousand times stronger than King Barking Mirror's. How could he possibly be killed by Yang Wu?

"Tell me the details of what happened!" the Lord of False Gold said, frowning.

"Yes!" Venerable Fiery hurriedly replied, "Teacher, that Divine Might King must have already become a Universe Venerable, and his strength is extremely powerful. He easily killed me after only a few rounds of fighting. This is what happened!"

Immediately, Venerable Fiery waved his hand, and a phantom screen appeared in mid-air, showing the scene of Yang Wu killing Venerable Fiery.

"This kind of strength..."

After watching the video, the Lord of False Gold couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "I never imagined that in just a few thousand years, the Divine Might King could grow to this level!"

With the vision of the Lord of False Gold, he could naturally see that Yang Wu had created the ultimate secret technique of the Universe Venerable.

That's precisely why he was so deeply moved.

It's important to understand that while breakthroughs in the laws of nature are difficult, they are quite simple for geniuses. Sometimes, a sudden realization can lead to rapid progress.

Just like the Venerable Fire Erosion before him, who had cultivated for tens of thousands of years before passing the twentieth level of the Bridge to Heaven, and after hundreds of thousands of years before comprehending the complete laws of space, he became a Venerable of the Universe.

Yang Wu's talent and comprehension are stronger than those of Venerable Fiery Erosion, and with the assistance of the Path of the Beast God, it is surprising, but not too unbelievable, that he became a Universe Venerable in a short period of time.

However, the creation of secret techniques requires a long period of time to perfect.

Just like the Venerable Fire Erosion before us, even after billions of years, he still has not created the ultimate secret technique of the cosmic Venerable.

"Several thousand years to create the ultimate secret technique of a cosmic sovereign?"

The Lord of Void Gold was utterly shocked: "Such an astonishing cultivation speed... even the Primordial Ancestor back then was probably slightly inferior to him..."

Having thought this through, the Lord of False Gold had already made his choice.

Immediately, the Lord of Void Gold calmly asked Venerable Eclipse Fire, "Eclipse Fire, didn't I send you to exchange for ownership of Earth? Why did you clash with Venerable Divine Might?"

"Conflict?" Venerable Fire Eclipse was slightly taken aback.

His original self was killed, and such a violent conflict was actually called a contradiction by the teacher?

"Teacher, I'm innocent!"

Venerable Fiery quickly recounted the entire incident.

Facing the Lord of False Gold, he naturally dared not conceal anything or embellish anything; he simply recounted his entire ordeal.

"this……"

After hearing about the experiences of Venerable Fiery after going to Earth, Lord of False Gold couldn't help but frown.

"I never imagined Yang Wu would be so concerned about owning the Earth!"

The Lord of Illusory Gold thought to himself, "In that case, it won't be good for my Giant Axe Arena to get a share of the pie on Earth!"

Before this, even if the Lord of Void Gold knew that Yang Wu cared about the ownership of Earth, he wouldn't have cared too much.

After all, the strong protect their race and should also enjoy corresponding privileges. Although he will not directly seize ownership of the Earth, it is easy for him to find a way to gain a share of the benefits.

But now Yang Wu's talent is too terrifying. Even his current strength ranks among the top among the many universe venerables of the human race. The original thoughts of the Lord of Void Gold have naturally changed.

Immediately, the Lord of Void Gold revealed a smile and said to Venerable Fiery Erosion, "Haha, I've long heard that Yang Wu is a peerless figure who appears only once in countless years of our human race. Now it seems that his reputation is indeed well-deserved!"

"Speaking of which, I've never seen this super genius of my human race before. Now I can go and see him for myself!"

"Teacher!" Seeing that the Lord of Void Gold intended to go in person, Venerable Fiery Corrosion was somewhat surprised, but he still quickly said, "The supreme treasure you bestowed upon your disciple has already fallen into the hands of Yang Wu!"

That represents all the wealth he has accumulated over millions of years; he cannot give it up easily, even if there is only the slightest possibility.

"Hmph!" The Lord of Void Gold sneered, saying, "If you possessed the strength of a cosmic overlord, how could you have been killed and lost your supreme treasure?"

The Lord of Void Gold was initially quite satisfied with the strength of the Venerable Fire Erosion, but now that he saw Yang Wu kill him after only a few thousand years of cultivation, he was somewhat disappointed.

However, Venerable Fire Eclipse was, after all, a powerful figure on the Giant Axe Arena side, and also his personal disciple, so the Lord of Void Gold naturally wouldn't completely abandon him.

"Don't worry, I'll mention the matter of the treasure directly to that Divine Might King!"

As the Lord of Illusory Gold spoke, his real-world counterpart began his journey to Earth.
