Swallowed Star: Primordial Artifact

Chapter 206 Five Gates Must Kill
"Regret it."

"Now you will regret and feel sad after planning to attack me." The Ancestral Dragon's clone roared happily, raising his huge head high, and the scales all over his body glowed with dazzling golden light, like a scorching sun.

Take a deep breath, and the whole universe seems to be quiet for a moment!
The next second, it opened its bloody mouth and a dragon breath carrying endless dragon power gushed out.

The camp of millions of puppets was attacked again and again by the dragon's breath. A large number of mechanical puppets fell from the sky and each of them lost power. While impacting... the clone of the Ancestral Dragon was also constantly collecting those mechanical puppets that had lost power and could not resist into the world ring at any time.

Although it is damaged, perhaps it can be restored to its original state after some repairs.

This thing is worth tens of thousands of Hunyuan Units. Even if it is damaged, it should be worth at least a thousand or eight hundred Hunyuan Units!

In the blink of an eye——

The Ancestral Dragon's clone collected hundreds of thousands of F9-class mechanical puppets in one breath, while the other mechanical puppets fled madly in all directions. Even the five major camps that were originally chasing them, with a total of 4 million F9-class mechanical puppets, quickly fled towards the five pyramid spaceships in the distance.

"Roar~~~" The Ancestral Dragon's clone swung its thick tail fin vigorously, bursting out with an overwhelming force. The turbulent flow in space was instantly dispelled, and with a dull explosion, it went straight to chasing after the other camp.

But this time, they only got tens of thousands of mechanical puppets as trophies, and those mechanical puppets all escaped.

……

The mechanical puppets and even lives can be collected into the "World Ring" on the premise that there is no resistance. Once there is resistance, the collection cannot be successful.

This is also the reason why Jiang Ye can only collect those mechanical puppets whose energy cores are damaged.

Of course, there are still some means of forced income, such as the golden-horned beast with the talent of "devouring".

Swallowed completely by force.

But this is also very dangerous. For those who have the power to resist, once the power of resistance is too strong, if they have an "inner world", it is likely to cause the collapse of the inner world.

*******
"Yeah~~~"

Far in the air, the Mechanical King of the Splitting Machinery in the control room of the spaceship gritted his teeth and sneered, "You dare to take away so many of my mechanical puppets. You are indeed very powerful as a special life form of the King level. But my property is not so easy to swallow. I will make you spit it all out."

"Five-Gate Killing Formation!"

Veins popped out on King Rift's face, he looked crazy, and roared hysterically.

This was his trump card, which came from his extraordinary mechanical master. In the past, they had been wandering between life and death together, making their relationship more than that of father and son.

For the King of Rift, his master carefully crafted this amazing set of mechanical weapons - the Five-Gate Killing Array.

You should know that every member of the Mechanical Tribe is a master of mechanical manufacturing.

This weapon is composed of five uniquely shaped pyramids, each of which is engraved with complex and mysterious secret patterns, containing completely different energy systems and power of laws.

There is a wonderful resonance between them, forming a strange and powerful energy matrix.

Of course, the threshold for controlling such a powerful weapon is extremely high. Just like the first form of the Starry Sky Cloak requires Jiang Ye to reach the laws of time and space and reach the 18th level before he can control it, the Five-Gate Killing Formation also has strict conditions for the operator.

But the master of the Riftbreaker had gone through countless experiments and improvements, allowing him to both control it and unleash its terrifying power.

At this moment, King Rift decisively launched this killing move.

In mid-air, the golden dragon eyes of the Ancestral Dragon's clone scanned the surroundings vigilantly. The originally densely packed F9-class mechanical puppets had already all poured into the five pyramid spaceships. Now, there were only five pyramids left in the air floating in different directions. It was difficult for it to find the trace of the immortal true body of the mechanical clan for a while.

“Huh.” The tail fin of the Ancestral Dragon’s clone shook violently, and with an indomitable momentum, it flew straight towards one of the pyramids. “This is the first time I feel so frustrated in an extraterritorial battlefield. I can’t even find where the enemy is. However, I won’t let you succeed so easily.”

"Buzz!" "Buzz!" "Buzz!" "Buzz!" "Buzz!"

The five pyramids simultaneously emitted a dazzling blood-red light, and their bases cracked instantly.

Whoosh! Streams of blood-red light shot out from the base, which looked like some special weapons at first glance.

However, before Jiang Ye could distinguish carefully, the blood light on the surface of the five pyramids suddenly surged, and countless blood-red rays burst out in all directions in an instant, and these rays intertwined and connected with each other at an extremely fast speed.

When the rays of light connected with each other, some of the blood-red rays were like nimble poisonous snakes, rushing straight towards the Ancestral Dragon's clone and instantly wrapping around it.

"Roar~" The Ancestral Dragon's clone roared angrily, waving its wings wildly like sharp blades, trying to cut off the blood-red rays of light. But just as it cut off a batch, more rays of light surged and wrapped around it, densely packed and increasing in number.

After just a moment of entanglement, the light between the five pyramids completed the connection.

boom!
In an instant, the world seemed to be twisted by an invisible giant hand. Everything disappeared in an instant, replaced by a blood-red strange space. The Ancestral Dragon's clone was already trapped in the "Five Gates Killing Formation".

At the moment when Zulong's clone was trapped in the "Five Gates Killing Formation".

In the original manor of the virtual universe, Ai Chen was silently praying for Jiang Ye: "Ye...everything is safe..."

Ever since Jiang Ye entered the battlefield outside the domain, Ai Chen has always been the most worried. After all, with her current identity, she is very familiar with the dangers of the battlefield outside the domain.

……

At the same moment

A hidden place in the demon clan’s territory.

The vast kingdom of God is boundless.

"Buzz!"

The temple that was suspended at the highest point in the entire kingdom of God suddenly emitted a dazzling blood light, and endless blood light enveloped the entire kingdom of God.

Countless one-eyed men and women living in the grasslands, plains, mountains, and islands of the Kingdom of God looked up at the endless blood light, and then all knelt on the ground excitedly. Hundreds of millions of one-eyed people all shouted in their own language excitedly and respectfully: "God! God! God!"

The shouts were like a tsunami, sweeping across the endless kingdom of God.

In the core of the Kingdom of God, in the temple, an ancient and heavy stone door slowly opened, making a dull "creaking" sound. Behind the stone door was a mysterious space, filled with mist and an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

In the center of this space, an extremely huge ancient tree with a diameter of ten thousand meters rises from the ground. The trunk is unimaginably thick and the bark is engraved with traces of time.

With a "rustling" sound, the dense branches and leaves shook, and a huge creature slowly walked out from the trunk. It had nine thick necks, each with a majestic head, and its lion eyes flashed with a cold light, as if it could see through all the secrets of the world. The mane on its body was like a burning black flame, fluttering slightly as it walked, exuding a chilling sense of oppression.

If Jiang Ye were here, he would recognize at a glance that it was the man who had besieged Jiang Ye before - the Hades King of the Nine Hells Lion Clan.

……

After a moment, King Hades sat on the throne made of rare cosmic black iron.

The throne exudes a cold metallic luster, and the back of the chair is carefully carved with an ancient totem symbolizing the Nine Hells Lion Clan.

Listening to the cries from the bottom of the hearts and souls of the endless people of the entire Kingdom of God, King Hades could not help but reveal a faint smile on his face, and his originally depressed mood also improved a lot.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a dazzling stream of light shot out from the distant sky like lightning, making a sharp whistling sound. Then, streams of light flew towards the temple one after another.

In just a moment, the nine immortal gods stood in the temple in an orderly and solemn manner.

These nine immortal gods all exude a powerful and fierce aura, but their eyes reveal a kind of controlled obedience.

That's right, their souls have long been firmly controlled by the King of Hell and they are absolutely submissive to him.

Looking closely, among the nine immortals, two are from the same clan as the Hades King. Their blood flows with the same ancient and noble genes as the Hades King, and their temperament reveals the inherent arrogance and majesty of the royal family.

The other seven are immortals from different races. They have different appearances, and one of them is even a human.

Judging from their aura and pressure, each of these nine immortals is a powerful being who has been crowned as an immortal king.

One of them even reached the peak realm of being a king, while the other eight were all high-level kings. Although their strength was slightly inferior, they were definitely awe-inspiring existences in this universe.

The Hades King sat upright on the majestic throne, his eyes sweeping over the nine immortal kings one by one. His expression was stern, and he exuded an aura of majesty without even being angry.

"I have been fighting in the battlefield outside the domain for tens of thousands of years. Has anything major happened in the family?" King Hades spoke, his voice carrying an innate kingly aura that echoed in the temple for a long time.

"Reporting to the king," a hunchbacked immortal king exuding a rotten aura stepped forward and said respectfully, "Although the family has not fought a major war in the past tens of thousands of years, there are undercurrents within the family. Among the younger generation, there are several forces secretly competing with each other, all wanting to gain a higher position in the family. Although they have not openly clashed, they are openly and covertly expanding their sphere of influence and winning over the elders of the family."

The Dark Lord frowned slightly, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes: "How shameful! These short-sighted people are actually doing these little tricks when I am fighting outside the domain. Tell me, which forces are they?"

"It's mainly the young elites of the three lineages, Blood Fang, Black Mane and Golden Eye. They have each formed their own team of followers and collected resources everywhere. There have also been small-scale frictions in some resource-rich secret realms." The immortal answered cautiously.

"Hmph!" The Hades King snorted coldly, his nine tails wagging impatiently, "How can the future of the family be achieved by these petty fights? The most urgent task is to strengthen our strength, not to fight among ourselves."

At this time, the only immortal of the same race who had reached the peak of the king level took a step forward, clasped his fists and said, "King, in my opinion, this may be a sign that the younger generation is unwilling to be mediocre and wants to show their strength. We might as well take advantage of the situation and give them a chance to contribute in the upcoming operation, which can both calm internal disputes and expand combat power."

The Hades King pondered for a moment and nodded slowly: "You are right. Pass the order down, let the leaders of the Bloodfang, Blackmane, and Goldeneye clans each select their own elite troops and go out with the army in three days. Those who make military achievements will be rewarded heavily; those who dare to disobey orders or desert in battle will be severely punished according to clan rules."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the immortals responded in unison.

"Also," the Hades King glanced at the two immortals of the same clan, "you two must immediately start to rectify the family and ensure that the family is united. Any attempt to split the family must be nipped in the bud."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The two immortals of the same race took the order and withdrew.

"You all should withdraw."

King Hades said in a low voice.

"Yes." The nine immortals bowed respectfully and then left. Only the Hades King on the throne remained in the entire temple.

At this time, King Hades had gradually calmed down, and his gaze slowly fell on the ancient sacred tree in the center of the temple - the Eternal Brahma Tree.

This ancient Buddhist tree has an extremely thick trunk, and it would take tens of thousands of people working together to surround it in order to barely touch it.

Mysterious golden dots flickered and danced around it. Its huge canopy blocked out the sun, and each leaf was shaped like an ancient scripture, faintly emitting strange energy fluctuations.

The Hades stared at the ancient tree and murmured in a low voice: "Kill the Gold King..." There was a hint of complex emotions in his voice, including anger and reluctance, as well as deep fear of his opponent.

"Two of the most powerful Fire God Source Crystals... At least I, the Nether King, cannot directly withstand the explosion of two Fire God Source Crystals. This alone makes the Gold Killing King extremely terrifying." He narrowed his eyes slightly, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes.

"King of Gold Killing, you were unknown before."

"King Jinshi, you were unknown before. But I will not give up the domain treasure so easily." The Hades King stared at the Ancient Brahma Tree, as if he was talking to the ancient tree. "And the mechanical race who plotted against me and killed my clone, just wait, I, the Hades King, am not so easy to mess with!"

In fact, King Hades had already "died" once on the battlefield outside the domain. To be more precise, it was his "clone" who died.

The talent of clone is extremely rare in the Immortal Realm. Even among the cosmic masters, although it is no longer so rare, it is still a very rare existence.

As one of the eighteen royal families with the noblest demon bloodline, the Nine Hells Sky Lion does not have the talent for clones.

But fate is so wonderful. When the King of Hades was weak, by chance, he successfully took over the special life in front of him - the Ancient Brahma Tree.

The Ancient Brahma Tree is a mysterious giant tree born at the beginning of the universe. It grows slowly from nothingness and has gone through countless years of baptism.

Unlike the legendary World Tree, which is rare in number but has endless power, the Ancient Brahma Tree, as a special life form, is rare in number, but its number still far exceeds that of the World Tree.

Generally speaking, the strength of special life forms is inversely proportional to their number.

The Ancient Brahma Tree is naturally inferior to the World Tree, which has the talent of mastering time and space, in terms of talent for laws.

However, the Ancient Brahma Tree possesses an extremely rare talent for splitting itself into two parts. It is precisely this that allowed the Hades King to gain unique abilities after taking over the body of the tree. He rose rapidly on the path of cultivation, became a disciple of the Lord of the Universe, and became an awe-inspiring existence among the demon race today.
