Swallowed Star: Primordial Artifact

Chapter 170: Emberwood

As these three alien immortals were talking about humans, demons, and giant beasts in the sky,
"what?"

The man from the "Purple Soul Crystal Clan" lowered his head, his eyes fixed on the screen on the arm guard. The flickering light on the screen was reflected in his deep eyes, revealing a strange glow.

The other two immortals were instantly attracted by his sudden reaction and cast puzzled glances at him.

"what happened?"

"We found a spaceship, it's human." The man from the "Purple Soul Crystal Clan" said in a low voice.

"What's the big deal about discovering human spacecraft?" The immortal of the Dragonfly Clan couldn't help but laugh, with a hint of disdain in his laughter.

“Zijing, were you irritated by those human immortals when you attacked them last time?” The immortal man with fire wings also joked, with a teasing smile on his face and a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"Hmph... The human in this spaceship is only a realm master judging by his strength and aura!" The purple crystal man ignored the fire man's sarcasm and said coldly, his tone full of doubt and surprise.

"Realm Master?"

"How can it be?"

The other two alien immortals were shocked. In the main continent of Yanji Continent, there are so many powerful people that it can be said that any team has a Marquis Immortal, or must have special means comparable to a Marquis Immortal!
But now a human world master has appeared on the main continent of Yanji Continent.

"How dare a Realm Lord come to Yanji Continent?"

"Isn't this courting death?" The two immortals from the Fire Feather Clan and the Demon Clan couldn't believe it.

"I thought of someone." The amethyst man suddenly spoke, with a cunning light in his eyes.

"Do you remember the Lord of the Embers of Fantasy Sand Island that we mentioned before?"

"The Lord of the Cinder Flame Realm of Fantasy Sand Island?" The eyes of the two alien immortals lit up instantly, as if they remembered something good.

"I heard that the Lord of the Cinder Flame Realm has the immortal fighting power of a marquis, and has an immortal thousand-foot Cinder Flame Tree." The man from the "Purple Soul Crystal Clan" sneered.
"This human world master... is most likely the Cinder Flame World Master. He may have felt invincible in Fantasy Sand Island, so he came to the main continent to try his luck. Humph, he really doesn't know how to live or die! The main continent is not Fantasy Sand Island! Killing him... is okay with you?"

"Of course no objection." The immortals of the Fire Feather Clan and the Demon Clan smiled at each other, with greed flashing in their eyes, as if they had already seen generous military merits beckoning to them.

"Come closer." The purple crystal man looked at the control console and gave the order decisively.

Whoosh!
The biological spaceship quickly approached an E-class spaceship with secret patterns all over its surface.

"Look, the human world master is drinking leisurely." The dragonfly-winged man pointed at the arm guard screen with a sarcastic sneer on his face, as if he was mocking the ignorance and stupidity of the human world master.

"If he knew that he was being targeted by three powerful kings... he would probably be scared to death." The Fire Man laughed crisply, and his laughter echoed in the spaceship.

The Purple Soul Crystal Clan man beside him nodded and said indifferently: "Ignorance is also a kind of bliss. Let's let him die quickly. The human world master can have such combat power. He must be a "super genius" as set by the demon clan alliance. The reward is very high."

"The reward is high." The Dragonfly Wing man nodded.

"So we have to film a detailed battle video and leave his body and trophies to prove our military exploits."

Unlike humans who have a virtual universe network, the demon race's communication system is very simple. In the seventh battlefield, they can only maintain conscious and voice communication, and cannot exchange images, videos, etc., let alone synchronize transmission in the virtual universe network like humans.

"Understood." The other two immortals had excitement in their eyes, rubbing their hands, eager to start the hunt.

……

At the same time, on the Yechen, Jiang Ye sat quietly in the cockpit of the spacecraft, listening to the discussion of the three aliens.

He slowly raised his head and looked at the E-class spacecraft displayed in the detector, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"The Lord of the Cinder Flame Realm? Could it be another realm master-level genius in the original secret realm? From the looks of it, it seems that none of them is him!" Jiang Ye looked at the unfamiliar-looking human man in the E-class spaceship, thinking secretly in his heart, with a puzzled expression on his face.

Jiang Ye’s detection equipment is many times more advanced than those of the three alien races.

Therefore, what the three alien races could detect, Jiang Ye could naturally also capture clearly with the detection equipment.

"Ok?"

Jiang Ye looked at the virtual universe army system beside him, then held up the wine glass, sipped the fruit wine, showed a special smile on his face, and said silently:

"Ignorance is a kind of bliss. Yes, you are right. You are actually very happy now. Because you don't know what is about to greet you...

Two are junior kings, and one is close to being senior king. Tsk tsk, there's going to be something interesting to watch."

After drinking the wine in the glass, Jiang Ye said, "Having a clone is convenient! I can practice while doing other things!"

For Jiang Ye, fighting with these alien races not only greatly promotes his own cultivation, but also allows him to accomplish some military merits by the way, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

It’s just that he didn’t have a clone before, so Jiang Ye put most of his energy into cultivation.

"5 minutes...4 minute..."

“30 seconds countdown.

"30...29...28..."

Jiang Ye clearly knew the distance between the biological spaceship and the "human" spaceship through his own detector.

boom!
Suddenly, a ball of light condensed from the continuously compressed immortal power, like a meteor, instantly crossed tens of thousands of kilometers of space, carrying a breath of destruction, and directly bombarded the black flying saucer.

In an instant, the E-class spacecraft seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant hand, and a large number of alloy wreckage fragments flew in all directions like flowers scattered from heaven. The entire spacecraft exploded with a loud bang in the violent explosion. The universe was torn apart by this powerful force, and countless space fragments flew everywhere in the shock.

As time went by, the space gradually stabilized and calmed down. And in the aftermath of the strong explosion... a black figure was standing in the void, holding a shield in one hand and a sword on his back.

"Little guy, you are quite courageous. You actually dare to come to the main continent of Yanji Continent." A shrill voice came from the mouth of the Dragonfly Wing Clan, breaking the brief silence. "You are a world master. You are a peerless genius among humans. But why are you so stupid?"

"He is stupid, so we can earn military merit." The fiery man said in a low voice in another direction, his voice full of greed and desire.

"Don't waste time, get rid of him quickly." In the distance, the amethyst man shouted loudly, his tone revealing impatience and eagerness.

The three alien immortals formed a triangle and completely surrounded the human in black armor from different directions.

There was a fierce gleam in their eyes, as if they had already regarded the other party as their prey.

"So noisy." The Lord of the Human Realm placed his hand on the hilt of the sword behind him and slowly pulled out the sword.

The moment the sword was unsheathed, a flash of cold light seemed to cut through the dark night sky. His eyes were cold, sweeping across the three alien immortals like a sharp blade, revealing a hint of viciousness.

"Poor little--" The Dragonfly Wing man was halfway through his words.

With a hiss, thousands of giant flame pillars a thousand meters high and a hundred meters wide suddenly erupted from the body of the human world master, like thousands of angry fire dragons, rushing towards the three alien immortals with the momentum of destroying the world.

Wherever the column of flame passed, the temperature in the universe rose sharply. The surrounding void was burned and distorted, making a sizzling sound, as if it was enduring unbearable pain.

The Dragonfly Wing man stopped talking abruptly, and the mockery on his face froze instantly, replaced by horror and disbelief. He stared at the flame column that was coming towards him with wide eyes, and his body instinctively wanted to dodge, but he found that his movements were restrained by this powerful heat wave, and every movement became a little slow.

The flame man's greedy smile disappeared instantly, replaced by a look of panic.

But in just a moment, the flaming wings behind him stretched to a hundred meters, and the flames on the wings burned wildly, setting off wave after wave of fire storms, trying to keep those pillars of fire out.

However, the power of the flame pillars of the human world lord was too terrifying. Each one contained the power to destroy the world. The fire storm was nothing but a mantis trying to stop a chariot in front of it.

The purple crystal man's face turned extremely ugly. He never expected that this human who seemed to have only the strength of a realm master could actually burst out with such terrifying power.

He quickly mobilized the power of the purple soul crystal in his body and condensed a solid purple shield in front of him.

In an instant, the moment the column of flames hit the shield, he felt an incomparable impact force, and the shield trembled violently under this impact.

bang bang

With two loud bangs, except for the purple crystal man, the fire wing man and the dragonfly wing man were all crushed by the giant pillar of fire.

"What a powerful attack."

"It can actually shatter our divine bodies."

The figures of the Fire Wing Clan and the Dragonfly Wing Clan gathered again in mid-air, with shock and anger in their eyes.

After all, they can be considered "barely crowned kings". If you want to shatter their divine bodies, you must at least have a high-level king-level attack. As for damaging their immortal divine bodies... then you must have the combat power of "peak king", or in other words, "initial king" to burn up the immortal divine power to consume it.

Just as the flames were raging and the three alien immortals were thrown into disarray, a dull roar came from the depths of the flames, like the roar of an ancient giant beast.

Then, a huge figure slowly rose from the flames. It turned out to be a tree that was a thousand feet tall with only branches but no leaves, and countless flames were burning on the branches!
The appearance of the flaming trees caused the temperature of the already scorching battlefield to soar even higher.

Its trunk was thicker than one could imagine, its bark was cracked, and the flames gushing out from the cracks were more violent than before, like countless agile fire snakes climbing and dancing. The lush branches were like huge flame tentacles, stretching wildly in all directions, and each branch was wrapped in blazing red-gold flames. Wherever it went, the void was torn apart.

Those diamond-shaped leaves sparkled with dazzling flames. Driven by the high temperature, the golden light on the leaves became more and more dazzling, as if countless small suns were embedded in the branches.

As the burning trees swayed and their leaves collided, a crisp "rustling" sound was heard, which intertwined with the "crackling" sound of the flames, creating an eerie and shocking sound effect.

In the Night Star,

Jiang Ye looked at the giant flame tree that suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
"The strength of a plant life form that has reached the peak of being a marquis!"

Emberwood: It is a very unique plant life born in the universe. It is often born in special areas with chaotic energy, such as the Crystal Planet filled with violent fire elements, or the scorching Purgatory Planet where magma flows wantonly.

Since its birth, the Cinderwood has had an indissoluble bond with flames. As it grows, it will continue to absorb the surrounding fire elements and devour the ores and magma crystals containing fire on the planet.

The energy contained in an ordinary Flame Crystal Planet is enough to grow a Cinder Flame Wood to the star level. In this process, the planet will gradually disintegrate due to excessive energy extraction, the originally stable landform will be destroyed, magma will overflow, and eventually it will be destroyed.

When the Flame Crystal Planet can no longer provide sufficient nutrients, the Cinder Flame Tree will dig its roots deep into the huge Flame Crystal rocks and, with the help of the rocks' power, begin its interstellar wandering journey.

During the years of wandering, once it breaks into an area rich in special fire-attributed substances, such as a galaxy flowing with strange magma or a cosmic void with mysterious fire crystals suspended, it will greedily absorb the energy therein and thus achieve evolution.

Plant life forms are myriad and their functions vary, which can be roughly divided into defense-oriented, attack-oriented, attack-and-defense-oriented, and other special categories.

Some plant lives can give birth to creatures with emerging intelligence and become the cradle of life; others are like ancient giant trees rooted in the earth, extremely picky about their growing environment, and need to be transplanted with great care, and are far less able to move freely than some agile plants.

The Embers are called "the most destructive offensive plant life". The "most destructive" here refers to the plant life that can be obtained by all races below the Venerable in the universe.

Deep in the vast universe, there are some mysterious plants of supreme quality hidden. They only exist in legends and are difficult to find, let alone trade.

The Cinderwood has an instinctive desire for fire-attributed substances, and it continuously devours them, making its branches extremely tough and giving it the ability to control the terrifying power of fire. Although its attack method seems simple, it is extremely deterrent, and that is the "Hellfire Pillar".

It is completely different from the Moyun vine, which is mainly defensive and has some offensive capabilities. With its powerful offensive capabilities, the price of the ember wood is very high in the market, far exceeding that of the Moyun vine. Without a certain status and special channels, it is impossible to obtain the seedlings of the ember wood.

During battle, the Cinderwood will suddenly release the compressed flame energy in its body, forming huge pillars of flame that whiz towards the enemy like small solar bombs.

Not only are these giant pillars of fire extremely hot, able to instantly vaporize surrounding matter, they also contain a powerful impact force that is enough to tear apart solid defenses and put the enemy into a desperate situation.

Just one successful attack of the "Hellfire Pillar" can change the course of a battle.
