Swallowed Star: Primordial Artifact

Chapter 286 Burying the Heavens in the Cold Abyss
In the vast expanse of the starry sky, above this enormous landmass that flies like a small boat, a breathtaking battle is unfolding.

The seven powerful figures each used their own methods, releasing immense energy that shattered the surrounding space, causing ripples to spread throughout the entire stardust belt, as if it could be scattered at any moment.

The aura around King Hanyuan suddenly changed, and a deafening roar resounded throughout the universe as he unleashed his innate secret technique.

The Cold Abyss King's body swelled rapidly, transforming in the blink of an eye into a gigantic creature resembling a whale, capable of blotting out the sky.

Its massive body is like a moving iceberg, exuding a chilling and powerful aura. Its mere presence causes the surrounding temperature to plummet, as if the space itself is frozen by this coldness.

However, Lin Yuanwang's side should not be underestimated either. As a soul master at the limit level of the King-level, Lin Yuanwang's illusion skills are unparalleled.

Then, its eerie illusion, like an invisible mist, quietly spread out. This illusion was exquisite, seeping into the surrounding space in strands, completely enveloping King Hanyuan.

Under the influence of this illusion, if Han Yuan Wang is not careful, he will fall into a false space. As a result, every movement of his becomes slow and difficult, and he is unable to exert his full strength. He is always in a state of suppressed struggle.

But all of this was immediately reversed!
"Yes, Master." After receiving Jiang Ye's order, King Hanyuan's face revealed a sinister smile.

He then combined the treasured "Frosty Crystal Chain" with his own unique skills, unleashing his self-created and famous move, "The Thirteen Styles of Frosty Abyss".

hum...

The domain of laws unfolded with a roar, simultaneously drawing upon the power of the fundamental laws of water.

Using the "Frosty Crystal Chain" as its framework, in the blink of an eye, the surrounding area of ​​millions of kilometers instantly transformed into a boundless sea of ​​icy water, enveloping all seven powerful figures present.

Every drop of water in this sea seemed to contain immense power, and the actions of the seven powerful individuals were immediately greatly affected by the endless, icy seawater.

The King of Cold Abyss was enveloped in a chilling aura that surged like a tidal wave. The "Cold Crystal Thread Chain" suddenly burst forth with thousands of silver rays, each thread carrying a deep blue chill capable of freezing time and space, as if to freeze all things in the world into eternity.

Thirteen illusory ice crystals slowly emerged behind him, like a magnificent projection of an ancient god of cold descending upon the world.

As the move was unleashed to its fullest extent, the illusory figure simultaneously thrust out the ice halberd, carving thirteen winding ice marks in the void, as if etching the imprint of the law of water between heaven and earth.

The thirteenth move, "Frosty Abyss Burial of Heaven," is now fully complete!
The entire airspace was instantly swallowed by endless cold. Countless ice spikes fell from the sky like meteors, their immense power seemingly intent on freezing this flying continent into an eternal ice plain.

"Master, how did the power of King Hanyuan's 'Hanyuan Burial of Heaven' become so great? I've fought him before, but I've never seen him this powerful." King Guilin said with a look of horror.

"Never mind all that, get out of this sea area immediately!" King Lin Yuan hurriedly ordered.

In the icy, bone-chilling seawater, the four powerful figures, including Lin Yuanwang, exerted all their strength to rush outwards.

However, the endless sea seemed to possess a life of its own, relentlessly pursuing their figures. In the surging waters, thick ice chains, almost imperceptible to the naked eye, resembled giant beasts lurking in the darkness, rapidly hurtling towards King Lin Yuan and his companions.

"Master, be careful!"

"what!"

"It's a special type of binding telekinetic weapon!"

"careful!"

"careful!"

The Lin Yuan King's side was immediately thrown into panic and chaos. The Ghost Phosphorus King was the first to be hit and was immediately bound tightly by the ice chains.

Despite the King of Phosphorus's extremely fast reaction, it instantly disintegrated, its divine body shattered, and after successfully escaping the restraints of the ice chains, it quickly reformed.

Before he could catch his breath, the ice chains followed him relentlessly, wrapping around him fiercely once more.

This repeated occurrence meant that the King of Phosphorus was unable to exert its full combat power.

The Ghost Phosphorus King and the Abyss King were alright, as they mainly used soul attacks, but the other two servants under the Abyss King were not so lucky.

Both of them are close-combat martial artists, and they are now in a difficult situation.

“Master, this binding force is too strong. We can’t break free at all, and attacks can’t break it either. It’s very likely a valuable treasure,” one of the servants cried out anxiously.

"Everyone be careful!" King Lin Yuan transmitted his voice.

Just then, King Lin Yuan saw three figures exuding powerful auras rapidly approaching like ghosts in the distance.

With a fierce determination, he immediately took out the special treasure he had obtained from robbing a powerful member of the Mechanical Race ten thousand years ago. In his hand appeared a tower-shaped Mechanical Race weapon about twelve meters tall, the infamous super single-soldier weapon of the Mechanical Race—the Disintegration Tower.

The decomposition tower's power is terrifyingly immense.

When the King of Destruction assassinated the Seven Swords King, he used the Disintegration Tower, which shows its astonishing power. This is also the most important trump card in the hands of the King of Abyss.

"Buzz buzz buzz~~" King Lin Yuan recklessly poured burning immortal divine power into the decomposition tower, his face becoming ferocious and distorted due to extreme madness and determination.

"You want to kill me? You'll all die!" King Lin Yuan roared hoarsely.

"hold head high!!!"

A swirling, emerald-green beam of light, like an enraged ancient beast, roared and shot straight toward King Hanyuan.

In Lin Yuan Wang's eyes, the extremely troublesome ice chains from before were so powerful that even the attack of a King-level expert burning immortal divine power could not force them back.

If they don't deal with the Frost Abyss King who controls the ice chains soon, all four of them will likely perish here.

Therefore, the first person Lin Yuanwang wanted to kill was Han Yuanwang, who controlled the ice chains.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the enormous sealing star suddenly appeared in the sea, instantly enveloping the shrunken Illusion King, Cold Abyss King, and Spirit Mourning King completely.

In fact, the moment King Lin Yuan took out the Decomposition Tower, King Huan Jin keenly sensed the danger and hurriedly reminded him, "It's the Decomposition Tower! King Han Yuan, King Ling Tong, you two must quickly enter the sealed star!"

Jiang Ye was well aware of the special nature of the Star-Sealing Formation, and to avoid exposing the secrets of the Star Tower, he was extremely cautious when bestowing it upon his subordinates. Among the nine powerful figures, only the Illusion King, whose defenses were relatively weakest, possessed the Star-Sealing Formation. "Boom~~~" The swirling, emerald-green light waves crashed against the giant blue star like a tidal wave, the powerful impact tearing through the entire sea like a sharp blade.

The star trembled slightly, forcefully reducing the impact by ninety percent, but still generated a strong shockwave within the star.

However, the Cold Abyss King, the Spirit Mourning King, and the Illusionary Ash King within the star are all peak-level experts who are burning with immortal divine power. In terms of pure energy, they are on the same level as the Abyss King. Even without the protection of the star-sealing tower, they would at most be seriously injured if attacked by that decomposition tower, and the probability of them dying would be very low.

Now, with the protection of Zhenfeng Xingchen, they easily withstood this attack.

"Since he used the Star-Sealing Suppression Technique, let this guy learn his lesson. He dared to provoke the master; he's doomed." The King of Souls revealed a ferocious smile and couldn't wait to begin manipulating the soul treasure, "Soul-Weeping Spirit String."

Unlike the Illusion King, who also possesses the soul treasure "Illusion Mirror," which focuses more on illusion attacks, "Soul Cry String" is a pure soul attack treasure.

It contains a set of incredibly powerful soul attack techniques—"The Fifty Strings of Weeping Souls".

"clang!"

The burning divine power of the King of Souls poured into it, and he focused his mind on controlling the entire string.

With his hands moving like phantoms, King Lingkui plucked the Soul-Weeping Spirit Strings. Instantly, eerie and mournful notes burst forth from the strings, swirling and echoing within the sealed star. Then, with a strange frequency, they pierced through the star wall and surged wildly toward King Linyuan.

"Stunned~~~"

A faintly visible ripple of demonic sound shot towards King Lin Yuan, who was hiding inside the Disintegration Tower, like lightning. The speed of this demonic sound attack had already reached the limit allowed by the laws of the universe.

……

Inside the decomposition tower.

Previously, due to his full control of the Disintegration Tower's attack, Lin Yuan King's divine body was reduced to only 85% after burning. At this moment, seeing the Disintegration Tower's attack blocked by the suddenly appearing Sealing Star, he had not yet had time to react.

In an instant, a strange and sharp sound of strings suddenly rang out.

The sound seemed to come from the deepest hell, carrying a bone-chilling cold and despair, like invisible blades that easily pierced through the entire decomposition tower.

The first few notes of the strings were like the mournful cries of a lonely soul in the cold night, sharp and shrill, vibrating and echoing in the air, causing ripples to spread throughout the surrounding space.

Immediately afterwards, a series of rapid vibratos poured out like a storm, and the sound of the strings seemed to have materialized, turning into black sound blades that slashed fiercely at the souls of King Lin Yuan and the others.

King Lin Yuan felt a "buzz" in his mind, as if a guillotine had been brutally cleaved open deep within his soul.

The sound of the strings struck directly at the core of his soul, instantly causing him to break out in a cold sweat and his face to contort in pain. His consciousness began to blur under this powerful soul impact, and the energy infusion from the disintegration tower in his hands was interrupted.

Whoosh! The blade of sound pierced through the divine body of King Lin Yuan as easily as cutting flesh... King Lin Yuan's divine body instantly went from 85% to a mere 43% being reduced to almost nothing.

Although the Disintegration Tower is a super single-soldier weapon, and it is relatively safe to hide inside the tower, its defensive effect is only comparable to that of a regular heavy treasure.

If King Lingkui hadn't deliberately held back, the power of "Soul-Weeping Spirit String" would have completely annihilated King Linyuan in one strike.

"How is this possible? I..." King Lin Yuan's face turned ashen, his eyes filled with terror and disbelief.

"King Guilin, the three of you, come quickly and help me escape!" King Linyuan shouted in a panic. At this moment, he was willing to sacrifice his servants in order to save his own life.

However, the King of the Fiery Demons was also suffering greatly. The sound of the strings was like a swarm of crazed leeches, clinging tightly to his soul and frantically sucking away his soul power. He let out a painful howl. Under this fierce attack, his soul defense was like a thin sheet of paper, easily torn open with cracks.

The two close-combat servants under King Linyuan's command were not as good at soul defense as soul masters.

Under the onslaught of the surging, tsunami-like strings, their eyes rolled back, and their souls entered a brief state of shock. Their bodies, as if stripped of their bones, plummeted limply from mid-air, instantly bound tightly by the Ice Abyss King's ice chains, rendering them unable to move.

Upon seeing this, the King of Illusions curled his lips into a cold, sneer. The "Mirror of Illusion" in his hand shone brightly, emitting beams of multicolored yet eerie light.

These rays of light intertwined and swirled around King Lin Yuan and his companions, rapidly constructing a dreamlike yet deadly illusory space. Meanwhile, the chilling sound of the zither strings continued to linger and echo in the void, relentlessly eroding the souls of King Lin Yuan and his companions, deepening their despair in this desperate situation…

Inside the world ring that King Phantom King always carries.

"Master, King Lin Yuan is severely injured. It is estimated that his immortal divine body will only have 3% to 5% remaining," King Huan Jin reported to Jiang Ye via soul communication.

Jiang Ye's eyes lit up immediately.

"Mirror Soul King, Witch King, and Dance King, the three of you go out immediately, go all out, and work together to control Lin Yuan King and prevent him from self-destructing!" Jiang Ye ordered his three peak-level Soul Masters.

He knew that this matter could not be taken lightly. After all, King Linyuan was a soul master at the pinnacle of the King level, and it was by no means easy to successfully control a soul master of this level.

Among the hundred servants controlled by Jiang Ye, there were quite a few peak-level King-level Soul Masters, but only two were extreme-level King-level Soul Masters: Illusion King and Spirit Mourning King.

"Yes, Master."

The three peak-level soul masters, all at the King level, bowed respectfully before disappearing from this world in a flash.

Within the sealed star, there were previously only three powerful figures: King Hanyuan, King Huanjin, and King Lingkui. In the blink of an eye, three more powerful figures appeared, bringing the total to six!

……

King Lin Yuan attempted to escape under the protection of his servants, but at that moment, the Sealing Star suddenly flashed and instantly merged into King Huan Jin's body, simultaneously exposing the many powerful figures who had been shrouded by the Sealing Star. In addition to the previous three, three more had appeared... This sudden turn of events caused a look of terror to flash in King Lin Yuan's eyes.

These three powerful figures are: Mirror Soul King, who is as if sculpted from a diamond; Witch King, whose beauty is breathtaking; and Li Wu King, who is shrouded in a black battle robe and is as mysterious and unpredictable as a ghost.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Three powerful auras soared into the sky, and all three had already ignited their immortal divine power. The powerful energy fluctuations caused the surrounding space to tremble.

"Mirror Soul King, and..." Seeing the three additional powerful figures, Lin Yuan King's eyes widened in shock.

At the same time, three powerful ethereal divine forces, like three invisible giant pythons, directly burrowed into Lin Yuan Wang's body.
