Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 219 Escaping

The Lord of Yunfu immediately erupted upon speaking!

A huge, dark jade-colored bead appeared above his head, spinning rapidly. Even the spacetime within the Inclining Peak Realm was slightly distorted, and an invisible force quietly spread out.

"Boom!"

Zhou Yang felt a slight jolt in his consciousness.

One moment they were fighting the Lord of Yunfu, but the next they were suddenly in a different scene.

The room in front of me resembled a small dormitory room, with four bunk beds arranged on both sides. I was lying on the second bunk bed closest to the door.

"Old Zhou, Old Zhou, damn it, hurry up! We're going to be late! You told me to just take another five minutes of sleep, why can't I wake you up?!"

A slightly immature-looking, crew-cut boy wearing black-rimmed glasses reached out and slapped his shoulder hard.

"Huh, Brother Guang? This is a high school dormitory?" Zhou Yang was slightly surprised.

Seeing that he had finally woken up, the crew-cut boy urged him, "Hurry up, bro! We've been late for days in a row, I don't want to get punished by Gang-ge again!"

"Being late will result in being punished by standing in the corner."

Zhou Yang murmured to himself, a smile involuntarily appearing on his face, "These really are ancient words."

"Damn it, what are you dawdling for? Hurry up!"

Seeing that he still hadn't moved, the crew-cut boy called out anxiously.

Zhou Yang looked at the young man, but gently smiled and shook his head:

"Hehe, Brother Guang, I didn't expect to see you again. The Lord of Yunfu has done a good thing."

Yuan Guang, Zhou Yang's best friend from high school on Earth in their previous life, had shared hardships together, including squatting in the toilet, standing as punishment, climbing over walls, and surfing the internet. Yuan Guang even frequently used his own living expenses to help Zhou Yang. However, after graduation, they became busy making a living, and their contact gradually decreased.

Then, after he himself was transported to another world, he had no idea what became of him.

"What did you say? What...what master?"

The boy was taken aback upon hearing this.

Zhou Yang simply shook his head silently, his gaze gradually becoming bright and intense, as if an invisible flame was burning fiercely within him.

Under his gaze, first the crew-cut boy, then the entire dormitory, and even the whole world gradually melted away.

"Phew~"

The entire world was completely erased from his mind, and Zhou Yang's consciousness returned!

He looked up and saw a huge blue palace almost reaching his head.

At this moment, the gates of the cyan palace were fully opened, and an extremely powerful suction force suddenly erupted, pulling Zhou Yang's body towards the dark hall.

This is the Biyuan Palace, a top-tier palace-type treasure of the Lord of Yunfu. It is a palace-type treasure focused on 'suppression and sealing'. Even a fifth-order universe lord would be unable to break free from it by his own power once trapped inside!

"Buzz~"

The azure palace continued to absorb the energy. Due to Zhou Yang's momentary lapse in concentration, Jian Heluo's sword light domain, without Zhou Yang's control and support, was unable to resist the absorbing power.

"Heh, Lord Yunfu's illusion attack is quite powerful; it actually pulled my consciousness into an illusion in an instant."

However, as Zhou Yang's consciousness returned, a powerful new cosmic spacetime force re-integrated into the Sword River Luo Domain, and the endless sword light domain immediately became invigorated again!

"Tch~~~"

One after another, black divine swords brought forth endless waves of sword light, constantly crashing into the azure palace, actually blowing the palace away!

"Hmm? How come you woke up so quickly! This is a near-real world I created using the Illusionary Realm Pearl; even the strongest beings in the universe with weak wills would be slightly affected!"

In the distance, the four faces of the Lord of Yunfu all showed expressions of surprise and confusion.

The dark jade-colored bead on his head is called the "Illusionary Realm Bead," the most precious treasure he has collected over dozens of reincarnations.

Although the Illusionary Realm Pearl is only a top-tier treasure, it is an extremely rare top-tier treasure of the 'Illusionary Attack' type. In terms of rarity and power, it even surpasses ordinary top-tier soul treasures!

This Illusionary Realm Pearl contains a near-real world. As long as a sliver of an enemy's mind is drawn into it, this world can automatically evolve into a world familiar to the enemy based on fragments of their memories.

Because it is deduced from the other person's memories, this world is so perfect that it is almost flawless, and even if one realizes that they are in an illusion, it is extremely difficult to break free.

Even the strongest being in the universe with a weak will would be slightly affected by the use of this supreme treasure by the fifth-tier peak strength of the Lord of Yunfu!

"He broke free so quickly; his willpower is probably comparable to that of a weaker version of the strongest being in the universe!"

The Lord of Yunfu sighed inwardly, but his hands never stopped moving.

"Dongyang, let's join forces!"

The Lord of Yunfu let out a low shout, and a black spike shot out from his hand. This was also a top-tier psychic weapon treasure, and its power was extremely strong!

"Tch~"

The black spikes whistled, almost tearing apart the incredibly stagnant space within the Inclined Peak Realm.

A black line appeared in the passage—

The extremely fast black cone appeared in front of Zhou Yang in an instant.

"Creation!"

Zhou Yang let out a low shout, and a hazy blue light gathered on his right palm, forming a special blue light field around his hand.

He raised his palm and grabbed at the black spike!

"Hiss hiss hiss~~~"

The black cone first came into contact with the blue light domain between Zhou Yang's palms, and a magical energy quickly wrapped around and penetrated into the interior of the black cone.

The moment the Lord of Yunfu's divine power, which controlled the black spike, came into contact with this magical power, he felt a surge of vitality enter the depths of his consciousness, making him feel that his divine power had become slightly more active.

However, he soon realized something was wrong!

Beneath that vigorous vitality seemed to be some kind of illusion. He clearly felt that his divine power was becoming more active and pure, but in reality, the divine power attached to the black spike was constantly collapsing and dissolving, and even the trace of life on the divine power was rapidly disappearing.

In the end, more than half of the divine power on the black cone dissipated, and the power of the black cone was naturally greatly reduced.

"Boom!"

The black spike clashed with Zhou Yang's palm, but it didn't even reach the maximum withstand limit of the Samsara Divine Armor. Although it forced Zhou Yang to retreat repeatedly, the spike itself was also swept away by his palm.

During the more than ten years that Zhou Yang was on his journey, his various clones were not idle. They were constantly studying and cultivating in the new universe, which was accelerating by nearly ten thousand times.

More than a decade has passed in the outside world, and those clones have cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years. How could they not have gained anything?

Creation, which is the layer of cyan light covering his palm, is a supreme move at the level of the "Strongest Secret Technique of the Lord of the Universe" that he comprehended by studying the "Life Chart"!

The truly powerful opportunities Zhou Yang has now include the new universe he cultivated from "Stellar Transformation," the chaotic secret patterns left by the Mountain-Sitting Guest, and the "Life Record" modified by Meteor Tears.

Previously, Zhou Yang had only passively imprinted a portion of the secret runes into his body, which was enough to drive the continuous evolution of his life level.

Now, with deeper research, countless insights keep welling up in my mind.

In his perception, this "Life Record" seemed to contain an extremely powerful "Tao," a "Tao of Life"!

Zhou Yang only studied a little bit of the basics, yet he comprehended a "Strongest Secret Technique of the Lord of the Universe," which shows just how extraordinary and profound it is!

The Light of Creation, with its boundless vitality, directly disintegrates and destroys the opponent's divine power at the level of life. Its first strike was a resounding success, even weakening the Cloud Lord's attack, which contained the strongest fusion secret technique, by more than half!

The black, sharp point was slapped away by Zhou Yang's palm, but before he could relax, a huge black and gold staff instantly cleaved down.

"Lord of Reincarnation, take this!"

As the Lord of Yunfu made his move, the Lord of Dongyang also sprang into action. He held a black and gold staff in both hands, his arm muscles bulging high, and slammed it down hard on Zhou Yang's head!

"Hmph, Lord of Dongyang, you dare to lay a hand on me!"

Zhou Yang snorted coldly, and his other palm was filled with black light as he directly blocked the black and gold staff!

This move is called "Annihilation," and it is a move he evolved from his strongest innate secret technique, "Light of Annihilation." It is also the strongest secret technique at the level of a universe master.

Unlike 'Creation', this move aims for the ultimate explosion and destruction!

"Bang!"

The Lord of Dongyang's black and gold staff seemed to have crashed into the massive, rapidly flying celestial body outside the Qingfeng Realm. The powerful force, accompanied by an endless aura of destruction, rippled outwards, forcing him to retreat step by step, and the treasured staff in his hand was almost slipping out of his grasp!

The Lord of Dongyang was a top-tier fourth-order universe lord, so his performance was naturally somewhat lackluster.

Zhou Yang was about to give chase, but suddenly he had a premonition.

He stopped pursuing the matter and simultaneously channeled the power of the new universe's spacetime and the power of the original universe's spacetime onto Jianhe Luo, causing the power of Jianhe Luo's sword light domain to surge continuously, almost instantly reaching a level comparable to a peak domain-type treasure.

At the same time, six black divine swords kept moving, carrying endless sword light and quickly condensing into an extremely huge, dazzling golden longsword!

"go!"

Zhou Yang raised his hand and pointed, and the golden sword shot out forward, tearing a huge gap in the cyan light barrier of the Lord of Yunfu.

Zhou Yang's figure didn't stop for a moment, rushing past in an instant with endless sword light.

"Haha, Lord of Yunfu, Lord of Dongyang, I have to hurry on my treasure hunt, so I won't keep you company any longer. We'll meet again someday!"

Zhou Yang first used his sword light domain, which had surged in power, to suppress the speed of the Lord of Yunfu and his companion. Only after creating some distance between them did he instantly retract the domain and disappear into the distance.

The Lord of Yunfu and the Lord of Dongyang did not give chase; they waited in place.

Not long after Zhou Yang left, a golden ancient ship arrived at high speed.
