Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 238 Giants and Supreme Treasures

"A figure?"

Zhou Yang couldn't help but feel nervous.

According to the information he possessed, some special life forms exist in some of the three perilous areas of the Cosmic Sea.

These special life forms have no intelligence; they act solely on instinct.

However, their level of danger is absolutely enough to rank them among the most dangerous places!

Like the water spirits in the outer waters of the Peak Realm, each water spirit is comparable to a cosmic lord in the waters!

Like the Lava Demon God that Luo Feng encountered in the Annihilation God Ravine in the original work, when it erupted, even the strongest beings in the universe who possessed the most powerful treasures had to flee for their lives!

Although the various environments in dangerous places are perilous, they are ultimately inanimate objects, and as long as you are careful, it is not difficult to avoid them.

However, special creatures like Water Spirits and Lava Demons, which can move freely, are fraught with too much uncertainty.

"Could it be some kind of special being, like the Lava Demon?"

Zhou Yang couldn't help but become wary.

The towering figure he had just vaguely sensed through the power of the new universe was at least one light-year tall!

What does it mean to have a size exceeding 1 light-year?

You should know that the Lava Demon God of the Annihilation Abyss, with just his physical attacks, was enough to make even the strongest beings in the universe, who possess the most powerful treasures, flee in disarray.

The Lava Demon God's height is only about 10 billion kilometers, which is roughly equivalent to one-thousandth of a light-year!

Even if all gravitational regions of the solar system are included, the diameter of the entire solar system is only about two light-years.

A colossal figure spanning over 1 light-year—one can only imagine how enormous it must be!

"My God, is that really a size that a living being can reach?"

In the new universe, Zhou Yang felt his eyelids twitching incessantly.

Even though he had seen many colossal life forms that spanned millions or tens of millions of kilometers since arriving in this world, he still couldn't help but tremble when he saw such a majestic existence that was beyond imagination.

After a long while, his mind gradually calmed down.

He observed the towering figure through the 'anchor point' he left in the outside world.

The figure was completely hidden in the seemingly endless sea of ​​silver sword light, with only a very blurry humanoid outline vaguely visible.

And to the side of that figure was a peerless divine sword with a sharp edge that seemed to be able to split the heavens and the earth!

The divine sword was nearly a light-year tall, and endless storms of silver sword light surged from it, filling Zhou Yang's entire sensing range!

Each wisp of silver sword light contained enough power to tear apart a top-tier palace treasure!

"Even the casually scattered sword light possesses such power. A supreme treasure! That divine sword is definitely a supreme treasure!"

Zhou Yang's eyes involuntarily reddened.

The most powerful treasure, that's something that all the strongest beings in the universe would go crazy for!

Even the founder of the giant axe no longer possesses a single supreme treasure. Not only him, but at least a third of the nearly one hundred strongest beings in the entire universe do not have a supreme treasure!

Treasures are hard to come by, and the most powerful treasures are even rarer!

To obtain the ultimate treasure, you need not only great strength, but also enough luck!

If you're not lucky enough, even the strongest being in the universe might not be able to obtain a supreme treasure even after traversing countless eras!

"What a stroke of luck! What a stroke of luck!"

Zhou Yang became increasingly excited.

His strength has now subtly reached the limit of a universe master.

To further improve, one must either break through to become the strongest in the universe, create a secret technique at the level of the strongest in the universe, or obtain an even more powerful treasure!

If he could obtain an extremely powerful treasure, it would definitely allow his strength to take a huge leap!

"But how can we get closer?"

Zhou Yangyao looked at the dazzling divine sword in the distance, "This space was swept up by that endless storm of sword blades, and spacetime was completely shattered. It's impossible to teleport. Even if I can barely teleport using the power of the new universe, the distance that the power of the new universe can spread is limited under the impact of that violent storm of sword blades."

He had just tried to emulate how he had absorbed the lightning and flames in the cave passage, attempting to swallow the raging storm of sword blades into the new universe.

However, no matter how he manipulated the new universe to absorb it, the endless storm of sword blades could not be altered in the slightest, let alone be absorbed into the new universe.

"I am about 1.2 light-years away from that divine sword. The power of the new universe can radiate and cover a distance of about eight million kilometers here. That means I would need to teleport at least nearly a million times to reach the vicinity of that divine sword!"

Zhou Yang couldn't help but shake his head. Let alone nearly a million times, with the terrifying power of the sword light storm outside, even a top-tier treasure could only last for less than one ten-thousandth of a breath.

In such a short time, he could at most teleport dozens or even a hundred times.

Unless he had tens of thousands of top-tier palace treasures to squander, it would be impossible for him to even reach the vicinity of that divine sword treasure.

"If it were a top-tier palace treasure, it might last longer, but it's unlikely to last until it reaches that divine sword treasure unless it possesses an extremely powerful palace treasure."

"How about we go back to the original universe first? Luo Feng should be heading to retrieve the Star Tower soon. Should we ask him to come and help?"

Zhou Yang hesitated in his heart.

At that moment, his consciousness involuntarily fluctuated slightly.

In his perception, an incredibly swift and fierce gale passed right near the 'anchor point' left in the outside world by the new universe.

The gale was extremely fierce and fast. In Zhou Yang's perception, the speed of the gale was at least close to ten thousand times the speed of light!

Moreover, besides its terrifying speed, the most important thing was that the gale was not attacked or blocked by the sword light storm!

In just a moment, that wisp of wind vanished into the endless ocean of sword light.

"Huh!"

Zhou Yang's eyes lit up!

"That gale-force wind is completely unaffected by the sword light storm?"

He manipulated the power of the new universe to quickly survey his surroundings and soon made a discovery.

Not only the gale, but also within this endless storm of sword light, there were streaks of lightning and wisps of flame constantly flashing by like streaks of light.

Like the gale, these lightning bolts and flames were also completely unaffected by the sword light storm and could easily maintain their original forms.

The difference is that the endless gale blew in the cave passage towards the back of the divine sword, while the lightning and flames erupted from behind the divine sword and disappeared into the cave passage, in completely opposite directions.

"These special energies are immune to the sword light?"

Zhou Yang murmured to himself, his mind racing.

"If I were hiding elsewhere, I might not even need to go inside. I could simply place a token containing my divine power imprint inside, and as the gale blows it near the divine sword, I could directly teleport to the location of that imprint via the new universe!"

His thoughts raced, and he repeatedly pondered in his mind, "I just don't know if it's only the gale that's immune to the sword light storm, or if even the items enveloped by the gale are immune. And even if they're immune to the sword light, the token must at least withstand the relentless blowing and tearing of the gale itself."

"Give it a try!"

Zhou Yang has exceptional initiative!

He repeatedly selected from his many collections, and finally chose a strange stone about the size of a fist, grayish in color and covered with dense holes.

He had been venturing into the spaceship for nearly a thousand years, and naturally, he had collected some decent treasures along the way.

This strange stone, called the "Wind Listening Stone," was acquired from a dangerous place called "Divine Wind Cliff."

This "Wind Listening Stone" has only two characteristics: one is that it can greatly amplify sound wave and soul attacks, and the other is that it is hard, unusually hard. Even many top-tier treasures probably cannot compare to it in terms of hardness!

"This Wind-Listening Stone should have barely withstood the destructive power of the gale itself. It's a precious material, its value comparable to a top-tier treasure."

Zhou Yang couldn't help but sigh.

However, having already made the decision, he had no regrets.

"I hope it will work!"

He stopped thinking about it and began to wait patiently.

"Whoosh~~~"

Every now and then, gusts of wind would blow past from near the 'anchor point' connecting the new universe to the outside world.

However, Zhou Yang did not act rashly; he was observing carefully.

In his perception, the speed and direction of those strong winds were also slightly different.

Some are faster, reaching tens of thousands of times the speed of light, while others are slower, only a few thousand times the speed of light.

Moreover, some of the gales eventually strayed far from the location of the dazzling divine sword, while others were relatively closer, though the closest was still a distance of hundreds of millions of kilometers.

Zhou Yang observed patiently, and it wasn't until much later that he began to have some confidence.

He held the Wind-Listening Stone in his hand, but his mind was constantly on the outside world, waiting intently.

Gusts of wind blew past from time to time, and occasionally bursts of lightning and flames swept by. Zhou Yang waited quietly. Finally, at a certain moment, his consciousness stirred slightly, and a gale that perfectly suited his wishes blew rapidly from the cave passage behind him!

"go!"

Zhou Yang reacted extremely quickly, manipulating the power of the new universe to 'stuff' the Listening Wind Stone, which contained a trace of his divine power imprint, into that wisp of gale at an incredibly fast speed!

His expression was initially one of anticipation and nervousness, but then it was filled with boundless joy!

The unremarkable, grayish-brown Listening Wind Stone was swept away by a gust of wind and flew rapidly forward.

The terrifying storm of sword light, capable of destroying everything and even shattering spacetime into particles, seemed to ignore the Listening Wind Stone, showing no reaction whatsoever.

"It's a success!"
