Swallowed Star: Primordial Artifact

Chapter 266 "Golden Pool"

On this chaotic battlefield, the Zerg Queen Immortal "Nan Cheng", the Tower Dragon King, the Seven Swords King, the Lifefall King, and other powerful figures seemed to have reached some tacit understanding, all silently watching the increasingly chaotic situation from afar.

The sealed star, already teetering on the baptism of countless powerful attacks, finally succumbed to the immense pressure. Like a falling meteor, it plummeted straight down into the "danger zone" below, which resembled a forbidden abyss in the universe.

Once you touch the dangerous areas within this Star Tower, it's like stepping into the gates of hell from which there is no return.

In an instant, one after another, the powerful kings on the sealed star fell like wheat being mercilessly harvested by the scythe of an invisible grim reaper.

Their bodies vanished instantly in the raging energy of the Star Tower, leaving not a trace behind.

This scene filled the other powerful figures present with both fear and a hidden surge of ecstasy.

The terror stemmed from the despairing power of this dangerous area; the ecstasy arose from the proximity of the rich legacy left by the fallen.

"baby!"

"That world ring is mine!"

"Grab it!"

The legacy left behind by dozens of fallen alien immortals was like fresh meat thrown into a wolf pack, instantly triggering a fierce and frenzied scramble for it.

Some powerful figures, their eyes gleaming with naked greed, frantically reached out to snatch the relics while shouting, "Haha... Below lies the deadly danger zone, filled with the chaotic and terrifying sealing power of the Star Tower itself. Once touched, certain death is certain! Normally, killing other King-level Immortals is as difficult as ascending to heaven, but here, as long as we 'drive' other King-level Immortals into that danger zone, they will have no chance of survival!"

"Kill!"

The majority of the immortals from various races who had just escaped from the sealed star to participate in this competition were instantly plunged into chaos once again.

Looking back, when they rushed towards Zhenfeng Star, they were at least able to maintain relatively orderly groups.

However, once they landed on the sealed star, the situation began to spiral out of control. Now, facing a crisis, as everyone flew away from the sealed star, the various factions were in complete chaos and could no longer maintain the order of the alliance.

At this moment, they might be surrounded by enemies from various alien factions, and the chaotic situation has turned the entire battlefield into a giant meat grinder.

"Peng!"

"boom!"

Various powerful attacks raged across the already shattered fragments of space.

The telekinetic weapons gleamed with an eerie light; their soul attacks were like invisible blades, their energy attacks like surging torrents, and their mechanical attacks carried the cold ruthlessness of technology.

In the chaotic exchange of fire, many unfortunate King-level experts were mercilessly blasted into that dangerous area and instantly annihilated without even a chance to let out a scream.

"Kill!"

"Grab it!"

"Haha, I've been waiting for this moment! The Zhenfeng Star is so precious, how could I obtain it so easily? But by using this dangerous area, I can kill the Kings of other factions one by one! Maybe I can get hundreds of billions or even trillions of Chaos Units of wealth in one go!" A giant man with a human-like body but ten heads excitedly swung his huge battle axe. The battle axe drew sharp arcs in the void as he frantically slashed at the surrounding enemies.

At this moment, humans, machines, demons, insects, and countless other alien races within their respective camps were all caught up in a frenzy of killing and plundering.

They only care about profit, and they are willing to make enemies of anyone for the wealth and treasures that may be within their grasp.

"That's insane! A sealed star can only have one master, but who knows how many powerful figures have fallen for it." Jiang Ye looked down at the dangerous area below, which resembled the mouth of a demon, with a solemn expression.

This dangerous area is like opening Pandora's box for some powerful kings, allowing those who possess immortality to be easily killed here. For them, this is indeed a rare opportunity.

After all, under normal external conditions, although these peak-level Kings are far stronger than some weaker Kings, killing them often comes at an extremely high price, so everyone usually maintains a certain degree of restraint.

However, at this moment, in this chaotic battlefield, under the temptation of the dangerous area, all restraint has vanished.

suddenly--

"hold head high!!!"

A swirling beam of light, resembling a long, emerald rainbow, instantly appeared across the endless sky at an almost terrifying speed.

The immense power contained in this wave of light seemed to cause the entire space to freeze.

In an instant, more than 100,000 powerful kings from all over the universe were frozen in place as if they had been subjected to a spell.

Jiang Ye and Dark Thunder King were no exception. He subconsciously looked in the direction of the light wave... and saw a team led by the mechanical race "Fate King" in the distance, with a well-organized and powerful lineup.

The team consists of over a hundred mechanical beings, each tall and with strong, angular features, showcasing the unique metallic texture of the mechanical race.

At this moment, they each held a tower-shaped technological weapon, about three meters tall, with mysterious runes shimmering on its surface, seemingly accumulating world-destroying power.

The King of Destiny himself was inside a large tower nearly 20 meters high, which resembled a small fortress and exuded a chilling aura.

In addition, there were nearly 900 alien kings, their faces contorted, their expressions resolute, and their immortal divine bodies burning.

Eight or nine alien races closely assisted a mechanical race powerhouse, continuously pouring the terrifying energy generated by burning immortal divine bodies into those towers.

Those more than one hundred towers seemed to form a vast and intricate energy transmission network, with all the energy ultimately converging within the large tower controlled by the King of Destiny.

Immediately afterwards——

An even more dazzling turquoise rotating beam of light traversed the sky and shot directly toward the team led by the Seven Swords King.

"Disintegration Tower!" The Seven Swords King's previously calm expression changed drastically in an instant, his eyes filled with shock and anger. "The Mechanical Race has really gone to great lengths to deal with me!"

"Burn! Follow the defense plan I told you before!" The Seven Swords King shouted angrily to the team behind him.

As one of the nine top experts present, the Seven Swords King had meticulously planned detailed defense and attack strategies before taking command of the team.

Therefore,

Upon hearing the order, not a single one of his kings hesitated. After all, they knew that the Seven Sword Kings would be the first to be hit by the mechanical race's attack, and if they did not come to their aid, the Seven Sword Kings would surely die.

Once the Seven Sword Kings fall, the terrifying energy that spreads outwards will be enough to annihilate them all! Therefore, these powerful individuals from the human camp did not hesitate to simultaneously ignite their immortal divine bodies...

Strangely, they did not use the energy generated from burning their immortal bodies directly for attacks, but instead scattered it into the air.

"Roar~~" The Seven Swords King suddenly opened his mouth, and a golden pool exuding an ancient aura flew out of his mouth.

Along the edge of this golden pool are carved ancient and weathered mythical beasts, among which is a sculpture of a "Beast God" symbolizing supreme power. These sculptures are so lifelike that they seem ready to leap out of the pool at any moment, covering the entire edge of the pool.

The pool, which was originally dry, became like a bottomless black hole the moment it flew out, frantically devouring the energy emitted by the powerful members of the surrounding human camp.

"Boom!" Energy surged wildly like a raging tide, and the ancient golden pool's power suddenly increased after absorbing a large amount of energy.

It then spread out an invisible golden shield, like a blooming golden lotus, enveloping all the thousands of powerful figures in the human camp.

"Bang~~~" The rotating emerald green light wave emitted by the decomposition tower slammed into the golden dome.

In an instant, ancient and powerful phantom beasts appeared on the golden dome, roaring to the sky as if they were fighting a desperate battle against the terrifying disintegrating light waves.

"The phantom of the Beast God is indeed the legacy of the Ancestral God Sect!" On the mechanical race's side in the distance, the King of Destiny gritted his teeth upon seeing this, "My previous prediction was indeed correct."

This was the first time the Seven Swords King had revealed the existence of the ancient golden pool to everyone, and the immense power it displayed made all the powerful figures present take notice.

……

Jiang Ye, standing to the side, was equally astonished by this sudden scene, secretly marveling at it.

The "Disintegration Tower" is a top-tier individual weapon technology in the Mechanical Race, and its price is no less than that of a top-tier treasure.

To his surprise, his fellow clansmen, the "Seven Sword Kings," had produced such a mysterious and powerful ancient golden pool. The mere sight of the golden pool erupting with the overwhelming aura of strange beasts made all the powerful figures present clearly realize that this was an extremely terrifying treasure.

It should be noted that the Mech Race faction, led by the King of Destiny, had meticulously planned and deployed their forces over a long period before unleashing this most powerful attack.

Meanwhile, the Seven Sword Kings of the human camp were caught off guard and had to respond hastily. The immortal divine power that the human camp's strongmen had time to unleash was far inferior to that of their opponents.

Even with less energy supply and the Golden Pool forming a shield for defense, the decomposing light beam still failed because it attacked from a single point.

Clearly, the power of this "Golden Pool" far exceeds that of the Decomposition Tower.

"So strong."

"To be able to block such a terrifying attack, he truly deserves to be called the Seven Swords King!"

Many alien races couldn't help but marvel, and they lost all confidence in obtaining the Star-Sealing City.

Faced with such a powerful clash of treasures, they felt increasingly insignificant in this struggle.

But now that things have come to this, even if they regret it, there's nothing they can do!
Although everyone was shocked by the Seven Swords King's outburst, it only lasted for a moment.

"kill!"

"kill!"

The four factions were completely thrown into chaos, with nearly 100,000 alien immortals intertwined and fighting each other in a frenzy.

In this chaotic battlefield, every corner is filled with the aura of death and destruction.

Every powerful individual whose divine body accidentally touched that dangerous area during a battle perished instantly, turning into a speck of dust in the universe.

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

The entire shattered void trembled.

……

Although Jiang Ye also participated in this chaotic struggle, he did not have the same fervent pursuit of Zhenfeng Xingchen as the other powerful figures.

He wasn't particularly enthusiastic about taking the opportunity to massacre large numbers of alien kings. At this moment, his heart was preoccupied with a treasure—the Xuanhuang Pagoda Pearl.

“Ever since the emergence of this Star-Sealing Tower Bead, the tower bead, which had been as quiet as if asleep, has been trembling slightly, as if it were attracted by something.” Jiang Ye frowned, pondering to himself, “Could the Star Tower be something that can be attracted to the Xuanhuang Tower Bead?”

"My arrival has caused many unusual disturbances, and even led to the birth of the Star-Sealing Star." Jiang Ye thought to himself, instinctively feeling that the birth of the Star-Sealing Star was by no means accidental.

He had just arrived here when the Star-Sealing Pagoda appeared, and at the same time, the Xuanhuang Pagoda Bead, which had been calm, began to tremble. What kind of coincidence could there be in the universe? Perhaps there really was such a coincidence, but the probability was extremely low, so low that it could be almost ignored.

Jiang Ye was convinced that there were some strange and special circumstances involved. Compared to the unusual movements of the Mystic Tower Beads, he naturally wouldn't care about the mere emergence of a Star-Sealing Star.

and so……

From the very beginning, Jiang Ye chose to go with the flow. He blended in with the team, and when the team charged forward, he charged forward too. After reaching the Zhenfeng Star, he didn't wander around aimlessly, but deliberately kept a distance from powerful human figures like Lin Yuan King and Rain Demon King.

In short, Jiang Ye went with the flow, mingling in the army, quietly observing everything, and carefully examining the differences between this birth of the Zhenfeng Star and the birth of the Zhenfeng Star in history.

"So far, nothing unusual has happened during the birth of this sealed star. But I feel like something's not right! But what exactly is wrong?" Jiang Ye had a bad feeling.

"Kill them quickly."

"Kill them."

"Kill them quickly before the myriad exits appear! Once they escape, we won't have another chance!" Some peak King-level experts were fighting desperately, hoping to take advantage of the "danger zone" to kill as many alien immortals as possible and seize their legacy. For them, there had never been a chance to kill King-level immortals so easily.

"Countless exits?"

"Yes, none of the myriad exits have appeared." Hearing the roars of those people, Jiang Ye suddenly woke up.
