Swallowed Star: Primordial Artifact

Chapter 159 Dark King

On the Yanji Continent, above the vast main continent, a black-brown biological spaceship with a shell covered with strange patterns is slowly crossing the void, like a giant beast lurking in the clouds.

The atmosphere in the control room of the spacecraft was a little dull. A male creature about 1.89 meters tall stood quietly, his whole body covered with dark green scales.

At this moment, he stretched out his sharp claws and firmly grasped a glass of brightly colored fruit wine. The scarlet wine swayed gently in the transparent cup, and the rich and tempting aroma spread.

His gaze pierced through the virtual exterior scene and swept coldly toward the rolling mountains below, a hint of barely perceptible doubt in his eyes.

"JXMSM - Detector No. 0000003. I spent most of my fortune to entrust the Pulse Master to buy this top-level large detector from the Mechanical Clan, but it can't detect any life fluctuations at all!" The scaly creature's voice was low and hoarse, with a bit of disbelief.

As he spoke, he looked down at the detector in his hand again. There was no flashing signal on the quiet screen, only dead silence.

"However, based on the mutual induction between the Black Fire Crystals, the alien who took the Dark Black Fire Crystal must be nearby. Being able to block my detection, the equipment of this alien seems to be more advanced than mine. It must be from someone extraordinary!" He frowned slightly, a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes. Having been in the battlefield outside the domain for tens of millions of years and having improved his strength to the limit of being a king, the Dark King naturally knew that the more advanced the opponent's detector, the stronger the corresponding opponent's background strength would be.

That’s right, this scaly creature is none other than the Dark King, the famous one in the extraterritorial battlefield. He is from the same clan as the Dark Scale Clan prince who was killed by Jiang Ye.

The Dark King's strength has reached the limit of being crowned a king, and he is also a well-known figure in the entire Dark Scale Clan. However, at this moment, he is filled with anger.

"Humph, it's really a one-level crushing victory. They only know how to find me such a tough job! That An Na is a good-for-nothing waste, and only the leader of the vein treats him as a treasure!"

The Dark King's gaze fell on the simulated projection of a large mountain range beneath his feet, and the anger in his heart suddenly burned fiercely.

His claws clenched subconsciously, and with a "snap", the fruit wine glass shattered in his hands, with crystal glass fragments flying everywhere.

For the Dark Scales, who were only ranked as an ordinary tribe in the universe, Anner's talent was really embarrassing. To put it in a positive way, he was not the most talented in the tribe; to put it in a negative way, among his peers, he could be ranked around tenth.

After all, a person who comes from an ordinary clan and has the strength barely comparable to that of a marquis at the level of a world master can be considered a good genius.

But in the eyes of those high and mighty kings, such talent is really not worth mentioning.

You know, among the four secret realms of the human race, the master of the penultimate secret realm, the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, can defeat the peak Immortal Military Lord.

In comparison, An Na's talent instantly seemed mediocre. Thinking of this, King Anyou couldn't help but sigh softly, and his resistance to this mission increased a little more.

The Dark King drank the entire glass of fruit wine on the table. The sweet wine flowed down his throat, but it failed to dispel the gloom in his heart.

He threw the wine glass away in annoyance. With a "clang", the glass rolled several times on the metal floor and finally stopped in the corner.

"No matter who this alien is, if they dare to touch my Dark Scale Clan, they will never get away easily! It's just right that after I get rid of this alien, I can go to that legendary place. By then, my strength will most likely be on a higher level!" Thinking of this, a gleam of light appeared in the eyes of the Dark King.

He controlled the spacecraft to slowly descend and head towards the depths of the mountains.

As the spaceship gradually approached the mountains, the Dark King became more cautious.

At the same time, he also tightly grasped the weapon behind him, which was a spear made of G-grade metal and was extremely sharp.

When the spaceship landed in an empty valley, the Dark King flew out of the cabin. The valley was filled with a damp smell, and the surrounding mountains towered into the clouds, forming a natural cage here.

The Dark King felt the black crystal in his body. The black fire crystal was trembling violently, as if calling for something urgently.

"That's it!" He whispered to himself, his voice low and hoarse, the murderous intent in his eyes became stronger.
……

Yanji Continent, in the ancient underground palace.

There are also some ancient sacrificial patterns on the rock walls inside the palace. There are faint fluctuations of laws on the patterns. They have not been completely destroyed after billions of years, which shows the strength of the powerful person who left these patterns at that time.

A silver-white sword-shaped spaceship, stuck in this underground palace, seems a bit abrupt and out of tune with the ancient atmosphere around it.

In one of the side halls of the spaceship, a colorful crystal was floating quietly.

Beep, beep... Warning! Warning!

Inside the spacecraft, a violent alarm sounded from the intelligent assistant - Xiaopi.

At the same time, a beam of light pierced through the thick rock strata with a devastating force and bombarded the underground palace. The ancient palace was instantly shattered by the brutal and powerful attack. Even the universe was shattered by such an attack, and a large amount of rubble was swept away by the turbulence of space.

When the underground palace was attacked by a beam of light, Jiang Ye was instantly awakened from his cultivation in the world inside his body.

"not good!"

The starry sky cloak behind Jiang Ye extended rapidly, and at the same time he left the world inside his body and quickly put away the Chaos Nucleus.

A thick, dazzling beam of light also affected the "Ye Chen" when it pierced through the underground palace... After penetrating the thick rock formation, the attack power of the light beam had been greatly weakened. When it hit the Ye Chen, which was made entirely of G-grade metal, it was naturally easily blocked by it.

The sky was dark and the underground palace collapsed.

Jiang Ye also walked out of the spaceship.

"What's the origin?" Jiang Ye immediately put away the Yechen and continued to soar into the sky in the shattered universe. He flew along the deep hole and instantly flew out of the earth's surface.

With this super powerful detector, Jiang Ye instantly locked onto the enemy's position. He looked up and was startled!...

In the distant void, I saw a dark brown biological spaceship floating there, emitting a cold metallic luster.

Below the spaceship, a tall figure covered with dark green scales was staring at him coldly. The ferocity and vigilance revealed in his eyes were like a ferocious beast about to pounce on its prey.

"Are you the alien who killed An Na?" Feeling the pressure emanating from Jiang Ye, who was only at the initial stage of being crowned king, King Anyou's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of chillness, echoing in the air.

He held the flaming spear made of G-grade metal tightly in his hand. The flames on the spear jumped violently, as if it couldn't wait to devour the prey in front of it.

"Oh, from the Dark Scale Clan!" Jiang Ye carefully looked at the alien in front of him, and countless thoughts emerged in his mind in an instant.

"We are both from the Dark Scale Clan. This Dark Scale Clan must be related to the group we killed before. Moreover, this alien race was monitored by Xiao Pi with a detector the whole time since its appearance, but I didn't pay attention to it. But I can be sure that the detector used by this alien race is definitely not more advanced than mine! It seems that something allowed it to sense my exact location!" After figuring this out, Jiang Ye immediately showed a hint of provocation: "What An Na, I haven't heard of it, but I have killed quite a few people from your Dark Scale Clan. What, do you want to avenge those rubbish people of yours?"

"Hmph, you don't know how to live or die!" The Dark King was enraged by this provocation. With a roar, he turned into a dark green afterimage, carrying endless murderous intent, and pounced towards Jiang Ye swiftly.

The flaming spear made of G-grade metal in his hand was raised high. On the spear, the laws of fire and space intertwined and collided with each other, bursting out with a dazzling and dangerous light.

The powerful force of the law surged, instantly shattering the surrounding space into pieces. As the spear stabbed out, the void was ruthlessly torn apart. Black cracks in the space spread towards Jiang Ye like the mouth of a ferocious beast, as if to devour him completely and split him in two.

唰

At this critical moment, the mysterious starry cloak behind Jiang Ye quietly flashed a faint light. Although the light was not dazzling, it seemed to contain a strong force of space.

In an instant, Jiang Ye's figure flashed like a dream bubble, and the next second, he appeared thousands of kilometers away.

Where he originally stood, there was only a turbulent flow of void that had been ravaged by the power of the law, and it was still surging wildly.

"The limit of kingship!"

Feeling the powerful attack in front of him, Jiang Ye couldn't help but blurt out.

The king-level warriors are divided into primary king-level, advanced king-level, and peak king-level according to their strength!
The immortal divine bodies of the initial stage of becoming a king generally reach 1 times the power of a realm master.

The power of a high-level king's divine body is about 3 times that of a realm master.

The body of a peak king has about 10 times the power of a realm master.

And 10 times the power of a Realm Lord... is almost the highest state for humans to be crowned as an immortal king.
There is no way to break through without a heaven-defying opportunity. However, among the powerful kings, there are some who possess the "secret method of body vibration"!
For example, King Zhenyan inherited the rank of a divine general. Of course, there are other super-powerful kings who have inherited the rank of a divine general.

Or have a secret method like body vibration. Body vibration is difficult!
The secret method of body vibration is very rare. Ordinary immortals have no channels to buy it. And even if they can buy it, they may not be able to practice it successfully because it is too difficult to practice.

Generally, the amplitude can reach 3 to 5 times, which is very rare.

As for the inheritance of the God General...

The quantity is too scarce!
Even the Lords of the Universe are vying for this position, and a large number of powerful tribes within the Hong Alliance are fighting for it. To be able to inherit the inheritance of a divine general usually requires spending hundreds of billions of Hunyuan units and owing a lot of favors.

It is not something that an ordinary king is qualified to do.

Therefore, those who are crowned as kings are normally classified as primary kings, advanced kings, and peak kings.

Only a few who possess the secret techniques of body amplitude or soul amplitude, or who create their own pinnacle secret techniques, or who have some special encounters, can burst out the ultimate combat power to become a king.

On top of that!
Only the combination of many adventures and one's own abilities can create a king who is comparable to ordinary cosmic masters, such as King Zhen Yan.

The Dark King in front of him is at the extreme end of the king's power!
The Dark King's eyes widened in disbelief, staring at Jiang Ye thousands of kilometers away. The space was still shaking slightly in the void, as if reminding him that what had just happened was not an illusion. "Teleport! A primary king can actually teleport!" His voice unconsciously rose a few notes.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind instantly. According to common sense, a magical skill like teleportation could only be mastered by the strongest kings, but this seemingly ordinary primary human king in front of him did it easily.

(Time pause, teleportation, it doesn't say that you have to be at the peak of the King level to comprehend it. This is related to your own spatial talent. For example, in the original work, Chapter 24 of Chapter 15, the Nashi clan, who is at the primary level of the King level, used time pause.)
After a moment, the Dark King showed a cold smile, and the dark green scales on his body flashed with a strange light: "I didn't expect that you are a human genius with good talent. It's a pity that you met me!"

嗤

In an instant, countless immortal divine powers radiated from his body to the surroundings, and the space suddenly vibrated slightly, as if countless threads of immortal divine powers formed a spider web, completely locking down the range of approximately 30 million kilometers that produced spatial fluctuations.

"Space blockade!" Jiang Ye raised his hand slightly, and countless white threads surrounded him. "What a wonderful feeling!"

Teleportation and space blockade are both incredible moves that fall under the laws of space.

In comparison, space blockade specifically restrains teleportation. Once the "space blockade" is cast, no one within the blockade range can teleport and can only fly slowly.

"Human!" The Dark King rushed towards Jiang Ye directly.

“Die for me!!!”

The Dark King rushed towards Jiang Ye like a mad beast, carrying the momentum of destroying the world. The sharp blade made of G-grade metal in his hand, with the blessing of the power of the law of fire, bloomed with a more dazzling light.

As the Dark King roared, his whole body began to shrink.

But his whole body was flashing with strange flames, as if he was a flame shadow man.

This scene made Jiang Ye feel palpitations for the first time in a long time:

"Body vibration secret technique!"

Performing amplitude-type secret techniques will cause changes in the body, and the Dark King is performing this technique now.

"call out!"

The Dark King roared and swung out the flaming spear, pouring all his strength into the spear. In the narrow range, under the spear thrown at almost the speed of light...

Ok,
Due to the space blockade, he couldn't teleport, and because Jiang Ye was stunned just now, he had no time to dodge. His pupils suddenly shrank, and he secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and his body instinctively took a defensive posture.

When the Dark King used the amplitude-related secret technique, Jiang Ye could only immediately close the starry sky cloak behind him to protect himself, waiting for the fatal blow.

"Boom!" The flaming spear, carrying the power to destroy the world, heavily slammed into the defense that Jiang Ye had built with the starry sky cloak.

In an instant, light overflowed, and an energy storm raged wildly with the impact point as the center. The surrounding space was disturbed by this terrifying force and became even more shattered, like a painting torn apart by violence.

Jiang Ye only felt an overwhelming force coming at him, and his body involuntarily slid backwards for thousands of meters in the void, leaving behind a series of twisted space ripples.
