Swallowed Star: Primordial Artifact

Chapter 173 The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind
"She is actually just a Zerg Queen at the realm master level..." King Amethyst looked at the Zerg Queen who exuded the aura of a realm master with a gloomy face.

"No, at least half of the attacks from the millions of Zerg warriors just now were attacks based on laws. Such a terrifying soul control ability proves that the soul and laws of this world master-level Zerg Queen are very powerful!" King Amethyst took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

Generally speaking, even the weakest queen of the realm master level can give birth to hundreds of millions of Zerg warriors, enough to occupy a galaxy, or even command a star field. She can control 1 Zerg warriors, each of whom can perform attacks containing laws, or can precisely control millions of Zerg warriors. Although they cannot perform attacks based on laws, they can still hit whatever they point at.

"The Cinder Flame Tree at the peak of the Marquis level, millions of Zerg warriors at the peak of the Realm Lord level, powerful soul laws... this Zerg Queen at the Realm Lord level is no simple matter..." King Amethyst's eyes were fixed on the Zerg Queen at the Realm Lord level, his thoughts racing in his mind.

The opponent is only a realm master-level Zerg Queen, but the attack power she just demonstrated is enough to threaten a peak king-level existence.

"But... this Zerg Queen actually dared to show up, then..." King Amethyst made up his mind, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

He waved his hand violently, and the immortal divine power in his body surged wildly, instantly condensing into a huge column of divine power, bombarding towards the Zerg Queen.

"boom!"

A beam of divine power cut through the sky, carrying the power to destroy the world, and headed straight for the Zerg Queen.

Just when the Amethyst King's divine power beam was about to hit the Zerg Queen,
A huge fiery red figure suddenly stood between the two.

boom……

There was a dazzling light and a deafening roar, and powerful energy waves spread wildly in all directions.

The fiery red figure was the Zerg Queen's plant life, the Thousand-foot Cinder Flame Tree.

At this moment, the thousand-foot-tall cinderwood tree exudes a rich breath of life. Its branches are like nimble giant pythons, dancing freely in the void, and the tip of each branch is flashing with blood-red flames.

"This damn plant life!" King Amethyst gritted his teeth.

The Thousand-foot Embers Wood is a plant life form known for its extreme destructive power, but its defense is also among the best among all plant life forms.

The defense of a Thousand-foot Cinder Flame Tree at the peak of Marquis level is comparable to that of a high-level king. Coupled with its powerful divine body, even a king at the peak of the level would need a huge price to completely destroy it.

"Hmph, damned Zerg Queen, I, King Amethyst, will never let you go!" A trace of determination and ruthlessness flashed in King Amethyst's eyes. He knew in his heart that in the current situation, he could no longer do anything to the Zerg Queen.

The opponent is protected by the "towering tree" of the Cinderwood, so no matter how hard he attacks, it will be in vain.

Thinking of this, King Amethyst suddenly decided to retreat and immediately took away the two immortal servants.

At this moment, the Zerg Queen's body swayed slightly, and the millions of Zerg warriors behind her instantly surged like a tide, surrounding the Amethyst King in a peculiar formation.

"Huh? This Realm Lord-level Queen has already appeared. Does she still want to kill me?" King Amethyst looked at the countless Realm Lord-level Zerg Kings flying over with disdain.

To most powerful beings in the universe, the Zerg Army is indeed very powerful. However, the Zerg Queen also has a weakness, which is that her defense is too weak.

The realm master-level Zerg Queen in front of him is protected by plant life such as the Cinderwood, which just makes up for this shortcoming. This is also the main reason why King Amethyst retreated just now.

Because it is impossible to do anything to the other party.

Similarly, it is almost impossible for the Zerg Queen to kill him.

Although a combined attack from a million Realm Lord-level Zerg legions was enough to severely injure a Peak King, the prerequisite for all this was that they could hit the target.

However, the powerful kings are not lambs to be slaughtered. Each of them has a strong ability to dodge and escape.

As for the previous attacks on the Amethyst King and the immortal strongmen of the Dragonfly Wing Tribe and the Flame Feather Tribe, it was entirely because they were ambushed and trapped inside by the Cinder Flame Wood, which put them in a passive position and made them take the beating.

……

"Roar--"

The overwhelming Zerg warriors let out a deafening roar, the sound seemed to tear the universe apart, and countless matter was annihilated wherever it went.

The immortal power in King Amethyst's body surged wildly and instantly turned into a stream of light, rushing towards these Zerg warriors.

"boom!"

The Purple Crystal King and the Zerg warrior collided instantly, and a terrifying energy wave erupted. Under the impact of this energy, the universe collapsed instantly, revealing endless space turbulence.

The figure of King Amethyst seemed extremely small under the siege of Zerg warriors.

However, his momentum was not weak at all, the immortal divine power in his body was surging wildly, and every attack carried the power to destroy the world.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The Amethyst King's attacks were as dense as a rain curtain, and each strike could turn countless Zerg warriors into dust in the brilliant light.

Although these Zerg warriors are all kings carefully nurtured by the Zerg Queen, the level gap is like an insurmountable chasm in front of the Amethyst King who has reached the level of a high king.

Fortunately, the number of these Zerg warriors was so large that they seemed endless. Even though King Amethyst had just defeated a wave of Zerg warriors in front of him, more Zerg warriors rushed up the next second. The densely packed figures filled the entire void in just an instant.

"Is this Zerg Queen dissatisfied that she has bred too many and is sending them here to die?" King Amethyst shouted angrily and waved his hand. The purple divine power was like a surging wave, instantly drowning thousands of Realm Lord-level Zerg warriors and reducing them to ashes.

With his immortal strength, as long as he does not burn his divine power, the divine power in the Amethyst King's body will be like an endless river that circulates continuously. It can be returned to himself after being released. It is almost equivalent to having an endless source of energy. This is also the reason why he still feels disdainful when facing the siege of so many Zerg.

Just when King Amethyst was killing with great pleasure, a subtle but strange "hum..." sound suddenly rang out.

A stream of emerald green light shot out from the charming eyes of the Zerg Queen, heading straight for the Amethyst King who was surrounded by endless Zerg warriors.

"Haha, go to hell!" King Amethyst was venting his anger wantonly, strangling the Zerg warriors who were at the front in large numbers, without noticing this deadly attack at all.

The emerald green light was like an extremely sharp invisible dagger, piercing straight into his sea of consciousness without any hindrance.

"what!"

A shrill scream echoed throughout the universe, and the Amethyst King's body began to tremble uncontrollably, and the attack in his hand, which had originally been powerful, became weak and powerless.

Countless Zerg warriors around seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and rushed over like a tide, with energy spots flashing coldly on their sharp claws and rushing towards him.

At this critical moment, a mysterious purple gas quickly emerged from the body of the Amethyst King like a guardian spirit, absorbing all the deadly attacks. The purple gas rolled and surged, like a greedy devourer, turning the attack energy of the Zerg warriors into invisible. "What a strange soul attack, I didn't even notice it..." The Amethyst King shook his dizzy head, his eyes full of shock and vigilance.

As a soul master with strength at the high level of king, he has always been highly alert to the soul attacks of the Zerg Queen, but he was still unable to guard against it and fell into the trap.

Fortunately, the Zerg Queen is only at the realm master level, and this soul attack is not enough to pose a fatal threat to the high-level Amethyst King.

"We can't keep wasting time like this! The background of this Zerg Queen is not simple. If she calls over an Immortal-level Zerg Queen from the same race, we'll be finished!" King Amethyst roared in his heart, with a look of determination in his eyes.

Without the slightest hesitation, King Amethyst violently activated the divine power in his body. In an instant, a hot and violent aura surged out from his body - the burning divine power.

As the divine power burned, a layer of blazing purple flames emerged around the Amethyst King's body.

“Kill!” King Amethyst roared to the sky.

He just flipped his hands, and a huge purple crystal cube appeared in front of him.

The secret text on the surface of the Rubik's Cube flickered, flowing with a mysterious and powerful force. Then, the Rubik's Cube exploded, and countless fragments flew out like wild horses.

But these fragments were not scattered in a disorderly manner, but were quickly combined in a mysterious trajectory, and in the blink of an eye they turned into two majestic purple crystal dragons.

The crystal dragon came to life, with purple flames burning in its eyes. It then swung its huge body and swept towards the surrounding Zerg warriors like a storm.

Wherever it passed, space was torn apart, revealing dark cracks. Countless Zerg warriors were instantly devoured by the purple flames.

In this blazing flame, their bodies quickly melted away, turning into wisps of smoke, without even a trace of residue left.

However, King Amethyst was not satisfied with this. While burning his divine power to launch the attack, he used his most powerful soul secret technique.

In an instant, a bright light shone from his sea of consciousness, and a powerful soul consciousness surged out, instantly enveloping the entire battlefield in a mysterious purple curtain of light.

Under the pressure of this powerful soul force, the Zerg Queen's control over the Zerg warriors' souls was severely disturbed.

Some Zerg warriors' movements became slow, and confusion appeared in their eyes. The Zerg army, which had been working in harmony, was now in chaos.

Seeing this, the Zerg Queen let out a sharp hissing sound, trying to regain control of the Zerg warriors' actions. Its eyes flashed with green light again, and an even more powerful soul attack was fired towards the Amethyst King.

However, the Purple Crystal King was prepared. He snorted coldly and quickly condensed a purple prism in his sea of consciousness.

This prism is crystal clear, and its surface emits a mysterious purple halo.

The emerald green soul attack hit the purple prism in the Amethyst King's sea of consciousness, emitting a dazzling light that shook the entire sea of consciousness. The Amethyst King gritted his teeth, a trace of pain flashing across his face.

But he relied on his soul consciousness at the peak level of the king and his powerful soul defense secrets to withstand the attack.

"Hmph, is that all you can do?" King Amethyst sneered. The burning divine power made him even more powerful, and the purple flames around him rose even more fiercely, as if to ignite the entire universe. He took advantage of the gap between the Zerg Queen's attacks and stomped his feet into the air. He shot towards the Zerg Queen like a purple meteor.

The Thousand-foot-tall Cinder Flame Tree sensed the Amethyst King's intention and let out an angry roar. Its thick branches shot towards the Amethyst King like giant javelins, carrying blazing blood-red flames.

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the Amethyst King, and he quickly formed seals with his hands. The purple magic cube instantly condensed into a huge amethyst shield, blocking the branches that were shooting at him one by one.

Every collision was accompanied by a deafening roar, and the powerful energy fluctuations caused the surrounding space to distort.

"Get out of my way!"

The Amethyst King roared, and the burning divine power suddenly erupted. The purple flames on the flame shield rolled back towards the thousand-foot-high Cinder Flame Tree like a surging tide.

The thousand-foot-tall cinderwood tree seemed to feel the threat as well. Its originally agile branches shrank instantly and its blood-red flames jumped violently, trying to resist this powerful force.

When the Amethyst King was in a stalemate with the Thousand-foot Cinder Flame Tree.

Millions of kilometers away, a spaceship shaped like a platinum sword is traveling through the vast starry sky at an astonishing speed.

Wherever it passed, the light of the stars was obscured by its rapidly flying figure. In the vast void, there was a seemingly ordinary gray meteorite, but in fact it was the "Yechen" which had been upgraded by Qiankun Ding and reached the level of a G-class spacecraft.

The camouflage technology on its surface perfectly simulates the texture and smell of a meteorite, hiding it in the vast universe. Even if it flies past the eyes of some immortal kings, they may not be noticed.

Inside the control room of the spacecraft,
Jiang Ye in black sat leisurely on the soft sofa, his eyes fixed on the light screen in front of him.

On the light screen, the battle scene between King Amethyst and the Zerg Queen and her Zerg warriors was clearly presented, with every detail captured clearly.

"Master, target locked and maintained at a distance of 150 million kilometers!" The voice of the intelligent assistant Xiao Pi sounded on the console.

"Launch number one, the annihilation cannon!" Jiang Ye's voice was cold and decisive, without a trace of extraneous emotion, as if he was just giving an ordinary order.

"Yes!" The smart assistant Xiao Pi responded without hesitation. Its program settings determined that it would absolutely obey Jiang Ye's orders and would not disobey in the slightest.

Instantly, an intelligent voice echoed in the control room: "Number 1 annihilation cannon charging countdown, 60...59...58..."

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind." Jiang Ye's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a sneer, with a hint of teasing and complacency in that smile.

The predecessor of this type of annihilation cannon was the star-destroying cannon, one of the few long-range attack weapons installed by Jiang Ye on the "Yechen".

The Star Destroyer Cannon is one of the ultimate weapons of the human race in the universe. Its power is extremely terrifying. One shot can rival the full force of an immortal strongman.

One shot can destroy a planet!
After the Qiankunding upgraded the Yechen, the star destroyer cannon achieved a qualitative leap, and Jiang Ye renamed it the "annihilation cannon."

Compared with the Star Destroyer Cannon, the power of the Annihilator Cannon has reached a new height, comparable to the attack of a king-level powerful warrior.

Not only that, it also has a more flexible attack mode. It can choose a wide-range attack mode, and it can also compress energy and condense all the power into one point, just like an immortal who has compressed his power to the extreme and then launched an attack. In this attack mode, the energy released by the annihilation cannon is extremely concentrated and powerful, and can kill those immortals who have not reached the king level alone.

Even if he was facing an immortal king, he would definitely be severely injured by this terrifying blow if he was not noticed.

Of course, such a terrifying attack consumes an astonishing amount of energy. With the powerful energy reserve of the Night Star spacecraft, each shot will consume one third of its energy reserve.
