Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 157 Temptation

Within a radius of tens of light-years outside the Time-Space Prison, numerous fragments of stars of varying sizes are scattered.

Many ordinary kings who venture into the outer regions of the Time-Space Prison will establish temporary resting bases in this area.

Many immortal powerhouses who are new to the Time-Space Prison combat zone also choose to hone their skills in this area first.

Therefore, this area can be said to be the place with the most King-level Immortals besides the Ninefold Time-Space Prison.

On a massive fragment of a star, approximately 0.9 light-years in diameter, King Menghun of the demon race had just finished a battle and was collecting his spoils.

However, at that moment, a figure in golden armor swiftly swooped down from hundreds of thousands of miles above the sky.

During this process, silver stars flew out rapidly, and endless laws and secret patterns were stirred, forming in the blink of an eye a giant phantom with black and white patterns wrapped around its body.

The giant held a black battle blade and a silver-white longsword in his hands. As the blades slashed down, endless spatial and temporal power surged out, completely engulfing the Menghun King below.

Under the erosion of the power of spacetime, King Menghun's divine body was rapidly annihilated, losing more than a third of its body in this single attack.

However, despite the sudden attack, he showed no sign of panic; in fact, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Hmph, so they really did have their eye on me? Looks like my high-profile battles have actually been effective."

"Haha, King of Reincarnation, look at the surprise I've prepared for you!"

An extremely violent aura rapidly erupted within King Menghun's body, igniting all his divine power!

King Menghun chose to self-destruct without hesitation!

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion resounded across the land, and violent energy instantly swept in all directions.

However, this King Menghun was only a high-level immortal with the title of King, and the power of his self-destruction was extremely limited.

The spacetime giant simply clashed his swords, and a spacetime barrier condensed in front of him, easily blocking the violent energy surge.

However, Zhou Yang, who was enveloped by the giant's phantom, felt a slight stirring in his heart and couldn't help but look at a certain spot in the explosion area.

There, a hazy green light began to shine.

Divine Kingdom Teleportation!

"Tch~"

A blazing black spear light shot out from the light transmitted by the divine kingdom and instantly appeared in front of Zhou Yang.

The spear's edge was entwined with endless secret patterns, unleashing extremely terrifying fluctuations of law. The surrounding space was constantly being compressed and collapsed by this terrifying aura!

"What a powerful blow!"

Without hesitation, Zhou Yang summoned the Myriad Manifestations Pagoda and entered it.

"Thump!"

The black spear light crashed heavily into the Myriad Manifestations Pagoda, unleashing an extremely powerful force that sent the treasure-level Myriad Manifestations Pagoda flying!

"Whoosh~"

The black spear light reversed and transformed into a huge black war spear, which fell into the hands of a towering humanoid figure.

"As expected of a palace-type treasure, haha, what a wonderful gem!"

A loud, boisterous laugh rang out, causing the surrounding space to tremble.

At this moment, the aftershocks of the explosion of the Menghun King gradually dissipated, and the face of his majestic figure gradually became visible.

The figure was about thirty meters tall and looked somewhat like a giant ape, except that it had a ferocious head with a sharp horn and blue scales, as well as an extremely thick and huge tail.

The moment Zhou Yang saw the figure's face clearly, he instantly confirmed his identity.

The Giant King, from the Wu Clan of the Demon Clan, is a terrifyingly powerful figure who achieved the title of invincible king millions of years ago!

The Heavenly Drive King who attacked Zhou Yang in the Time-Space Prison could only be considered to be extremely close to the invincible King-level.

With the blessing of the supreme treasure, one might be able to barely possess some of the invincible demeanor of a king, but ultimately, one has not yet truly taken that step.

But the giant worm king in front of us is a genuine, invincible king!

Just like the True King of the Human Race, the Giant King not only possesses a powerful treasure that made him famous, but his own understanding of the laws and research into secret techniques have also reached their peak, and he is only one step away from becoming a Venerable.

Such a powerful being could fight for several rounds even against the most ordinary cosmic venerables.

Ordinary titles of kings and immortals are as fragile as children in their presence.

However, Zhou Yang was somewhat surprised to see the giant worm king appear.

The invincible king I had discovered didn't seem to be the giant worm king before me.

Could it be that there's an unexpected bonus?

He was secretly delighted, but his slightly mocking voice carried through the Myriad Pagoda to the Giant King outside.

"Giant Scorpion King? Haha, I didn't expect even you to come to this extraterrestrial battlefield!"

"However, Giant King, you are a true invincible king-level powerhouse. How come even a powerhouse like you is not bestowed with a supreme treasure by the demon race? Why do you have to come to the outer battlefield to snatch it yourself?"

Zhou Yang's simple sarcastic remarks naturally had no effect on the Giant Squam King.

His figure rapidly approached the flying Vientiane Tower.

"Heh, who would complain about having too many treasures?"

"King of Reincarnation, prepare to die. Rest assured, once your treasure is in my hands, it will not be buried!"

As he spoke, he raised the spear in his hand.

Countless runes spread and coiled across the spear, and the light around it seemed to be distorted and swallowed up!

"go!"

The Giant Grub King was extremely decisive; before he could finish speaking, his spear had already thrust out.

"clang!"

The Vientiane Tower was struck by this powerful shot and was once again thrown into the air.

"As expected of the most precious palace treasure among all treasures, a realm lord was able to easily block my almost full-force attack with this treasure."

The Giant Grub King's tone was full of praise as he drew closer once more.

However, Zhou Yang did not linger and directly manipulated the Myriad Manifestations Tower to quickly fly into the distance using the force of the previous throw.

"Haha, Giant Scorpion King, I'm in a hurry to return to the human territory, so I won't chat with you any longer! I'll remember what happened to me today, Giant Scorpion King; we'll meet again another time!"

The Tower of All Things accelerated continuously, speeding rapidly into the distance.

"Trying to escape? Do you think you can escape?!"

The giant worm king remained completely calm.

He took a step forward, his figure immediately following after him.

The Giant Grub King didn't seem to be in a hurry. During the chase, he would only throw out his spear from time to time to interfere with the speed of the Myriad Pagoda and at the same time deplete Zhou Yang's power.

His idea was simple: when Zhou Yang's power was depleted to the point where he could no longer unleash the power of the treasure, the treasure's protective effect would be greatly reduced.

When the time comes, he will unleash his strongest attack with the help of his treasure. After multiple strikes, even a tiny bit of the aftershock will be enough to easily shatter Zhou Yang in the Myriad Manifestations Tower.

At that time, this unclaimed treasure will naturally be his.

He wasn't in a hurry, and Zhou Yang in the Myriad Pagoda was even less in a hurry.

While controlling his escape route, he also secretly made some soul servants through contracts during this time to act quickly.

Soon, a message spread rapidly within the Immortal King circle of the outer battlefield.

"The location of the Reincarnation King, who has been in hiding for many days, has been pinpointed by the demon race, and the invincible demon king, the Giant Giant King, is personally tracking him!"

"King Samsara is protected by a supreme palace, which the Giant Worm King cannot break through in a short time. To prevent King Samsara from being aided by other human powerhouses, we now invite all the King-level Immortals from the outer battlefield to join forces. After killing King Samsara, all treasures will be contested based on individual abilities!"

The news caused a huge sensation as soon as it came out.

"Let's go! The Giant Scorpion King has made his move! This time, we absolutely cannot let that Reincarnation King escape!"

"Unfortunately, with the Giant Scorpion King making his move, we probably won't get our hands on the treasure."

"Haha, so what? As a prodigy of the human race, the Reincarnation King must possess countless treasures. When the Giant Scorpion King is feasting, we might just get a taste of the spoils."

"Yes, hurry up, or you won't even have a chance to drink the soup!"

Many powerful alien kings had their own information channels and immediately began searching the entire extraterrestrial battlefield.

They quickly spotted the figures of the Reincarnation King and the Giant Grub King. One by one, the powerful kings set off, either through divine kingdom teleportation or by instantaneous movement, rushing towards their target location.

Meanwhile, the powerful kings of the human race were extremely angry.

"What's wrong with this Reincarnation King? He finally escaped, so he should just stay put! Why did he have to jump around like that? Now look what's happened, with so many people watching him, the treasure is probably lost!"

"No, we must go take a look too! That's a priceless treasure of our human race; we can't let it fall into other people's hands!"
