Swallowed Star: Primordial Artifact

Chapter 255 Shocked the whole audience
"boom!"

Space trembled violently, and countless spatial fragments flew like sharp blades.

Jiang Ye groaned, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, his body sent flying hundreds of miles backward. The instant he regained his footing, the eyes of the alien kings watching from afar suddenly flashed with a greedy light, like hungry wolves eyeing their prey, their gazes filled with covetousness for the treasure.

"King Jin is injured! Strike while the iron is hot and finish him off!"

"The treasure is mine!"

More than a dozen figures rushed towards Jiang Ye like arrows released from a bow. Several of them, at the peak of the King-level, even secretly formed a formation, with spatial laws intertwining into a net to completely block Jiang Ye's retreat.

"Hmph, trying to steal your prey right in front of me? You're asking for death!"

A sinister smile curled at the corner of Star Crystal King's lips. The Star Sealing Star hovered above his head, and a continuous stream of power poured into the sealing array, instantly enveloping all the Kings who were trying to seize the treasure from him.

Even though they were both from the mechanical race, the Star Crystal King wouldn't dare to attack someone from his own side in public. As for sealing him away, he could simply say it was to deal with that human.

Jiang Ye wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a hint of mockery in his eyes!
"Come out, Dark Thunder King!" Jiang Ye crushed a world ring.

Instantly, a deafening roar resounded through the void, and pitch-black lightning poured down from the void rift like a celestial river flowing backward.

The Dark Thunder King descended with an aura of destruction, his massive body enveloped in purple lightning that dyed the entire void an eerie purple. With a wave of his hand, hundreds of bolts of lightning transformed into lightning spears, instantly piercing through the bodies of three peak-level Kings. Blood splattered, and screams echoed through the void.

"What...what is this?!" Star Crystal King's pupils shrank, his eyes filled with shock. "A soul servant."

Taking advantage of the moment when Star Crystal King was shocked, Jiang Ye activated the Starry Sky Cloak, a treasure, with all his might.

The starry cloak instantly burst forth with dazzling starlight, and Jiang Ye's figure, like a streak of light, instantly escaped the range of the sealing power.

"How is this possible?" Star Crystal King exclaimed in shock as he watched Jiang Ye break through the sealing power of the star-sealing formation so easily.

As driving components for the sealing of the Star Tower, each sealed star has a diameter ranging from 9000 kilometers to 9 kilometers and a weight exceeding that of a neutron star.

As long as one's strength is slightly greater than the opponent's, the ability to seal the star within it can forcefully imprison the opponent, trapping them within forever. Even a cosmic venerable would not be able to break free from it.

It was definitely a top-tier treasure, but Star Crystal King never imagined that Jiang Ye's Starry Sky Cloak was a supreme treasure.

Jiang Ye appeared behind Star Crystal King like a ghost.

The Devouring Abyss Sword, imbued with the laws of wind, pierced straight forward.

The Star Crystal King reacted instantly and hurriedly manipulated the Star-Sealing Star to defend himself.

However, at the same time, a dark lightning spear appeared in the Dark Thunder King's hand, the spear crackling with violent lightning power, as if it were about to erupt at any moment. The Dark Thunder King hurled it with all his might, and the dark lightning spear struck the star phantom that the Star Crystal King had condensed using the Star Sealing Stars, like a meteor striking the moon.

With a crisp "crack," large sections of the secret runes on the star's phantom shattered, like a broken spiderweb, and its light dimmed instantly.

It should be noted that the Dark Thunder Spear in the Dark Thunder King's hands, after being modified by the Qiankun Cauldron, is also a great treasure, and its power is in no way inferior to that of the Star-Sealing Spear.

"Break!" Jiang Ye roared, and the attacks of the Devouring Abyss Sword and the Dark Thunder King erupted simultaneously.

The star-like phantoms surrounding the Star Crystal King were instantly torn apart. Like a kite with a broken string, he was uncontrollably blasted into the distant asteroid belt, scattering countless meteorite fragments, like a meteorite rain blooming in the void.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the other princes turned around and tried to flee.

Jiang Ye would not let them off easily.

Beside him stood the Dark Thunder King, clad in his heavy armor, the Dark Thunder Armor, which crackled with lightning. The lightning instantly transformed into a vast, all-encompassing net, enveloping dozens of kings within it.

Jiang Ye then swiftly unleashed his claws, and a shrill scream echoed through the void. In the blink of an eye, only shattered world rings remained scattered on the ground.

"This Star Crystal King possesses a powerful treasure that seals a star. If we were to truly fight, and the Ancestral Dragon's avatar were to launch a surprise attack to restrain him and prevent him from hiding within the sealed star, there might still be a chance to kill him. But the Star Crystal King hasn't even burned his divine body yet, so he obviously doesn't intend to fight me to the death." Jiang Ye muttered to himself, "Now that I've tested my strength, it's time to leave."

"Hahaha... Star Crystal King is nothing special! I'll take my leave now!"

The sound echoed in the endless void under the infusion of mental power.

However, just as Jiang Ye was about to leave, a blinding starlight suddenly erupted from the depths of the meteorite belt. The light was like millions of stars exploding at the same time, illuminating the entire void and hurting people's eyes.

The Star Crystal King returned, his body ablaze with the remnants of shattered stars. Twelve vertical pupils split open between his brows, flowing with silver starlight: "Damn humans, you think you can leave? Not so easy!"

Phew!

Twelve starlight chains shot out from the Star Crystal King's vertical pupils like a reversed galaxy, instantly binding Jiang Ye's wrist. The chains exuded a powerful and ancient aura.

"A priceless treasure!" Jiang Ye was startled upon sensing the aura emanating from the chains and blurted out the words.

On the battlefield outside the domain, most of the kings knew that the Star Crystal King was famous for sealing stars with his precious treasures, but no one would have thought that he actually had such a powerful treasure chain hidden in his possession.

“King of Slaughtering Gold, you should feel fortunate. This is the first time you’ve displayed these Star Chains since you obtained them,” King Star Crystal said coldly.

The veins on Jiang Ye's wrists bulged, and the oppressive feeling emanating from the starlight chains caused ripples in the space.

"Owner!"

Dark Thunder King's purple lightning suddenly surged, attempting to break the chains, but was blocked by the silver beam of light shot from Star Crystal King's vertical pupil. Where the two forces collided, space began to distort and collapse.

Jiang Ye's Devouring Abyss Sword suddenly burst forth with a dark blue light, and the Law of Wind condensed on the blade into a spiral-shaped storm of sword energy.

He swung his sword fiercely, the sword energy carrying the power of time reversal slashing at the starlight chains, but only leaving a faint white mark on the surface of the chains.

Upon seeing this, Star Crystal King's vertical pupils blazed with light, and the star-like runes on the chains lit up, frantically drawing away Jiang Ye's power.

"Prepare to die!" Star Crystal King swung his chains, forcibly condensing the entire meteorite belt into a meteorite vortex with a diameter of a thousand meters.

Dark Thunder King let out a low roar, and a huge phantom of a thunder beast appeared behind him. The thunder beast opened its blood-red maw and bit the starfall vortex to pieces. However, Dark Thunder King's precious armor was also hit by a chain, and blackened cracks appeared on it.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jiang Ye activated the Starry Sky Cloak, and all the scales on his right arm turned into liquid dark demonic matter, flowing upstream along the starlight chains.

When the dark demonic substance came into contact with the Star Crystal King's fingertips, it suddenly exploded into countless tiny poisonous spikes, instantly piercing his armor.

Although the armor hindered it, it was not a high-grade armor, and a trace of poison still seeped into its body. The Star Crystal King let out a painful roar, the light in its vertical pupils began to dim, and the binding force of the Starlight Chains also weakened.

"Now it's my turn!" Jiang Ye's spatial laws surged wildly, tearing open three spatial rifts in the void. The Dark Thunder King transformed into lightning and entered the rifts. The next moment, three powerful Dark Thunder Spears, imbued with destructive aura, pierced through the Star Crystal King's sealed star from different directions.

Star Crystal King barely managed to prop up his divine body and hide inside the sealed star, only to see the Devouring Abyss Sword in Jiang Ye's hand suddenly radiate golden light—it was actually incorporating the power of wind and time into the sword technique.

"Flowing winds sweep across the sky!" With Jiang Ye's roar, the power of thunder, wind, and the laws of time merged, annihilating space wherever it passed.

The sealed star was sent flying with a bang the moment it made contact.

boom!
The violent explosion leveled the entire meteorite belt.

As a top-tier treasure, the Star-Sealing Treasure contains a space within it. As long as one hides inside, attacks will be blocked by the Star-Sealing Treasure itself, leaving only one-thousandth or one-ten-thousandth of the original force.

Therefore, Jiang Ye and Dark Thunder King's attacks could not cause much damage to it.

Instead, it was the Dark Demon Water that continuously eroded the divine body that terrified the Star Crystal King, causing him to decisively abandon the already corroded divine body, instantly reducing his aura and pressure by more than half.

Jiang Ye wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at the slightly warm Devouring Abyss Sword in his hand, and sneered, "Two treasures? As expected of the Star Crystal King."

"What is this thing? It actually destroyed 24% of my divine body." Star Crystal King looked at the armor on his arm corroded by the Dark Demon Poison Water in horror, his eyes filled with fear and anger.

"Hmph," Jiang Ye said without speaking, gripping the Devouring Abyss Sword and preparing to pounce forward again.

"Damn humans! Run!" Star Crystal King knew that he had suffered a great loss because of his carelessness, and he was no longer able to fight. If he did not escape, his life might be in danger.

With a flash, he transformed into a streak of light and fled madly into the distance, leaving behind only a series of unwilling roars echoing in the void.

The hundreds of kings of the mechanical faction in the distance were shocked as they watched the Star Crystal King escape.

Jiang Ye did not give chase. The reason why Star Crystal King suffered such a great loss was entirely due to carelessness and lack of preparation. If he were to push Star Crystal King to the brink and burn his divine power to wear down Jiang Ye, Jiang Ye would be powerless against a King-level expert who possessed two great treasures.

Jiang Ye looked up and scanned the remaining alien kings in the distance, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "Anyone else want to try?" The void was deathly silent, and the kings retreated one after another, their previous greed and arrogance gone.

Jiang Ye put away the Dark Thunder King, then reactivated the Starry Sky Cloak, transforming into a stream of light and disappearing into the starry sky.

call out!
In the eyes of many powerful figures, even a powerful figure like the Star Crystal King was forced to flee by the Gold Slayer King, and the Gold Slayer King's speed in leaving was so swift that all the powerful figures could only shake their heads and sigh inwardly.

moment……

Jiang Ye had already flown out of the spatial blockade range, and then disappeared in an instant.

The more than 2 alien kings were all stunned and watched Jiang Ye leave. However, none of them felt ashamed. Their long lives had led them to experience life and death again and again, and they had long had certain rules of conduct. Perhaps they would take it for granted if a weak person possessed a treasure, thinking that the weak person was not worthy of such a treasure.

But was the previous King of Killing Gold a weakling?

The fall of the Rift King, the defeat of the Star Crystal King who possessed the treasures of the Sealed Star and the Chain, and the deaths of dozens of other Kings under his sword... Which of the more than 2 alien Kings present could achieve such a series of feats?
"So powerful!"

"so amazing."

"Just in that short time, dozens more King-level experts have perished. It's truly terrifying."

"You guys say that the King of Gold Slayer hasn't used any domain-type powerful treasures yet. Is it possible that he hasn't?"

"I don't know, but I estimate that this King of Gold Slayer definitely possesses a great treasure, after all, he was able to repel the King of Star Crystal and easily kill a peak King-level expert!"

"That damned Rift King! He lured us here before he fell, he had no good intentions at all. He knew perfectly well that the Gold-Slaying King possessed the strongest Fire God Source Crystal and was even stronger than the Star Crystal King, yet he still lured us here. He deserves to die!"

"Damn the Rift King."

The groups of alien kings standing in mid-air were talking among themselves. Jiang Ye's performance had completely won them over and made them acknowledge him from the bottom of their hearts. He was undoubtedly a true powerhouse, and it was only natural that such an unparalleled powerhouse would possess a great treasure.

If such a powerful figure is not worthy of possessing a great treasure, then who among these 2-plus alien kings and immortals is worthy of it?

suddenly--

A powerful aura appeared out of nowhere, and a metallic figure with faint black light emanating from beneath its armor appeared out of thin air. The invisible pressure spread out, causing hundreds of powerful members of the mechanical race to fall silent for a moment.

"It's the King of Demise!"

"I didn't expect the King of Destiny to come too? It's a pity he was a step too late, otherwise we could have seen the King of Gold Slayer fight the King of Destiny."

"The email that the Rift King sent before his death was addressed to all members of the Mechanical Race camp. The Star Crystal King arrived long ago, while the Fallen King probably came from the Star Tower, which is why he was a step slower." Among the hundreds of strong members of the Mechanical Race camp, almost all of them were at the King-level, but there were quite a few at the initial King-level and advanced King-level as well. Facing the renowned Fallen King, they all showed great respect.

……

The King of Destruction stood in the void, his gaze sweeping across the surroundings, and roared, "Where is the King of Slaughtering Gold?"

“King of Demise.” One of the beings, who was as large as a small mountain, spoke in a booming voice, “King of Slaughtering Gold just fought King of Star Crystal, and then left. I guess he doesn’t even know where the Divine Kingdom has teleported to now.”

"A battle with the Star Crystal King?" The Fallen King looked at the mountain-like life form.

The mountain's life force roared, "You'll see for yourself."

brush!
A hazy light projected into the air, creating a three-dimensional virtual projection. This technology is already widespread and highly advanced in the universe, almost 1% virtual. The projection then played a scene of battle between the Star Crystal King and the Gold Slayer King.

The King of Destiny watched silently until the very end.

Although the Star Crystal King was not as powerful as these invincible kings, he was still one of the most powerful beings in the entire extraterrestrial battlefield due to his soul attack. At their level, watching this virtual projection could reveal many secrets. Without a doubt, this battle was a probing exchange between the Star Crystal King and the Gold-Slaying King. In the universe, unless one wanted to fight to the death, it was rare for someone to burn their immortal divine body.

Neither Star Crystal King nor Gold Slayer King burned their immortal divine bodies.

"Although the Star Crystal King's soul attack is useless against my mechanical race, its power is no less than that of the Queen Mother Nan Cheng!" the Fallen King murmured. "And for the first time, he has revealed a chain treasure, while that Gold-Slaying King..."

"The Rift King claimed to possess a domain-type treasure, but he didn't use it at all. It seems that either the Gold-Slaying King is hiding his true strength, or he doesn't possess it at all."

"Following behind him should be Dark Thunder King from the demon faction. Dark Thunder King belongs to another faction, yet he is so respectful behind King Shijin, so he must also be King Shijin's servant!"

"His flying skills are amazing!"

"My speed is far inferior to his..." The more the King of Destruction looked at the King of Gold, the more he felt that the King of Gold Slayer was indeed unfathomable and had many trump cards.
