Swallowed Star: Primordial Artifact

Chapter 39 Stingy
"boom!"

An invisible pressure covered the entire square like a tide. The faces of 1000 peerless geniuses turned pale in an instant, and their bodies trembled slightly involuntarily.

Then, with the sound of heavy footsteps, a giant wearing a scale armor and a helmet, eight meters tall, slowly walked over. The aura he naturally exuded was like the arrival of the god of death.

The strong bloody smell made people feel terrified and frightened!
1000 geniuses, in front of this giant in scaled armor, are as small and weak as ants facing an elephant. They will naturally feel fear. This is purely an instinct, and no matter how strong the will is, it is impossible to suppress this instinct.

"The 1000 geniuses of Qianwu Universe, according to the order of the king, will be led by me." The giant's voice boomed, and the eyes covered by the helmet gave people endless pressure. "You can call me 'Master Thirteen', do you understand?"

"understand!"

1000 peerless geniuses couldn't help but respond in unison.

"Such terrible pressure." Luo Feng's forehead was covered with cold sweat. "In reality, his will and pressure can definitely make my soul collapse in an instant."

Horror! There were a thousand geniuses, but they looked so small in front of this giant in scale armor, as insignificant as ants.

Facing such an unimaginably powerful being, the fear that surged in my heart was like a tide, endless and uncontrollable. This kind of trembling and fear from the depths of my soul could not be resisted or suppressed by strong willpower alone.

It is an innate instinctive reaction of human beings, deeply imprinted in everyone's genes like a conditioned reflex. No matter how outstanding and excellent these so-called "geniuses" are in their daily lives, they are all deeply shocked and intimidated at this moment without exception.

"Is this the pressure of immortal consciousness? It's so powerful! Even though I have practiced the Nine-Layer Soul Tower to the seventh level, I still feel a little overwhelmed!" Jiang Ye frowned tightly, concentrating on resisting the terrifying pressure.

In order to obtain this precious secret book, Jiang Ye had gone to great lengths. He spent almost all his money, selling all the treasures he had taken out of the world ring, and barely managed to collect about 1200 Hunyuan units. This number may seem huge, but when faced with the truly top soul secrets, it is as insignificant as a drop in the ocean.

Fortunately, Jiang Ye finally successfully purchased the book "Nine-Layer Soul Tower" at the price of 1050 Hunyuan units. According to the book, as long as it is cultivated to the peak state, it can withstand the immortal level of soul attack.

Unfortunately, this secret book is incomplete, lacking the most critical last layer. Because of this, its value is greatly reduced, but for Jiang Ye, it is still a good deal. After all, with it, he can have an extra guarantee when facing those soul masters.

"Jiang Ye, Rong Jun!!" The giant in scale armor cast his majestic gaze on Jiang Ye and Rong Jun.

"My Lord Thirteen." Jiang Ye and Rong Jun saluted the giant with great respect.

"You are the ones among our Qianwu Universe Country who have a greater chance of not being eliminated. The king has placed great expectations on you. Especially you, Jiang Ye. The king is looking forward to your performance very much. You... must not let the king down, do you understand?" said the giant in scaled armor robe with a serious look.

"Hmm?" Hearing this, Jiang Ye's heart couldn't help but pause. He naturally knew who the king Thirteen was talking about. It was the Venerable Qianwu, who was revered as the first leader of the human race.

However, after seeing Thirteen only praised him verbally, Jiang Ye couldn't help but complain in his heart, this is too stingy, he didn't even know to reward some secret methods, he just knew to make big promises, no wonder his subordinates didn't even have a chance to be crowned as an immortal king. Although he complained in his heart, Jiang Ye still responded, "Yes." Rong Jun beside him also responded respectfully.

Then, the giant in the scaled armor looked at the other young men and said in a cold voice: "As for the others, there is no hope!"

Suddenly, many of the young people clenched their fists tightly, and Luo Feng in the crowd also frowned slightly. As geniuses, who are confident in themselves, who would be willing to easily obey others?

"Hmph! Don't be unconvinced. Strength is not something you can just talk about. It has to be demonstrated in battle!" The giant in the scaled armor snorted again, "Except for Jiang Ye and Rong Jun, the strongest among you is only at the level of Luo Feng. However, according to the information we have, there are many rare geniuses in this class. It's already great for Luo Feng to make it into the top 5000. The hope of him making it into the top 1000 is very slim!"

"Of course!" The voice of the giant in scaled armor was full of confidence and majesty.

"Of course you may also create miracles! Throughout the long river of history, there are still some geniuses who performed very ordinary and inconspicuous at the beginning, but suddenly burst out at the last critical moment." After saying these words, the giant in the scaled armor robe slowly glanced at the large group of young geniuses in front of him, and then as if he thought of something, he immediately changed the subject, "Okay, don't just stand there, follow me!"

This group of peerless geniuses from various star regions of the Qianwu Universe had all kinds of emotions in their hearts, but they could only suppress them.

Afterwards, led by Thirteen, the imposing giant in scaled armor, Jiang Ye and a thousand other geniuses were teleported at the same time and arrived in a brand new dimension specially opened up in the virtual universe.

This is an extremely vast continent, so vast that it seems to have no end.

Jiang Ye and his team, including the giant in scale armor robe who led the team, a total of 1001 people appeared on this continent at the same time. "Qianwu Universe Team, there are 1008 buildings ahead, and your Universe Team is assigned to Building 0825." A middle-aged man in a white robe saluted respectfully to the giant in scale armor robe.

"Hmm!" The giant in scale-armored armor snorted, and then without hesitation, he led his team and flew directly into the distance.

"Wow!"

"1008 buildings, one Space Kingdom team lives in one building?"

Looking from afar, the 1008 buildings in the distance naturally formed a ring. In the center of these 1008 buildings was a beautiful square full of birdsong and flowers. At this time, there were many young men and women from various countries in the universe leisurely strolling and chatting in that beautiful square. At a glance, there were at least more than people.

"Land!" The thunderous voice of the giant in scaled armor rang out.

So, the genius team of Qianwu Universe quickly landed and landed steadily on the edge of the square, and then walked directly along the road towards Building 0825.
