Swallowed Star: The Original Secret Realm

Chapter 149 Zhang Yi has the strength of a cosmic overlord?

"It seems that we will only know whether it was that human Zhang Yi who killed him after the Grand Alliance Leader resurrects Qi Xue. However, that human Zhang Yi at least possesses the strength of a cosmic overlord, truly worthy of being called a peerless genius of the human race."

The dark void above the main hall sighed.

"You may leave now. Remember, the speculation about Zhang Yi's strength must not be circulated. Also, the Treasure Points required for your resurrection have already been credited to the Alliance's account."

“Yes,” the nine high-ranking cosmic beings replied respectfully.

Meanwhile, their hearts were bleeding. After falling from the original star, they not only lost their treasures but also owed the alliance treasure points, and each of them directly became the 'Qianwu Kingdom Lord' of the Northern Frontier Alliance.

After the nine Venerables left, the figure in the dark void pondered for a moment, and then a black token appeared in front of him.

"Nightmare Beast, I have the latest information on the human Zhang Yi's strength. I can exchange it for four high-grade treasures. Would you like to trade?"

"Xinghe, your appetite is too big. One item at most."

The Nightmare Beast Lord's discontented voice came through the token.

"Okay, deal!"

Not long after, still on the top of the 'Phantom Star' building of the Machine Race.

"Black Gold, Nether Lotus, I bought the latest intelligence on the human Zhang Yi's strength from the Northern Frontier Alliance for six high-grade treasures. They were provided by those fallen high-grade cosmic venerables. Since our three races have joined forces, we should naturally share the cost."

"You two only need to each take on two high-grade treasures."

The Lord of the Nether Lotus's melodious voice held a hint of sharpness: "Are you insane? Six high-grade treasures to buy the true strength of that human Zhang Yi? He's probably just an Immortal, what strength could he possibly have!"

"Nightmare Beast, what Minglian said makes sense. You'll be tricked by that Lord of the Star River, won't you?" The deep voice of the Lord of Black Gold rang out.

"Look," the Nightmare Beast Lord snorted coldly, directly relaying the information he had bought from the Star River Lord to the two of them.

"What? Zhang Yi can kill a high-level cosmic Venerable with a single shot?"

"The Lord of the Galaxy deduces that Zhang Yi possesses the strength of a cosmic overlord?"

"It can't be fake, right?"

The beautiful face of the Lord of the Nether Lotus was filled with shock.

Clearly, the Lord of the Star River deliberately concealed the fact that Zhang Yi might be a top-tier cosmic overlord. After all, he wasn't sure, and even if the Lord of the Nightmare Beasts came knocking, he couldn't say anything.

"I can't believe it either. In such a short time, humans have become so powerful."

"But is this information worth the price?"

"If human immortals possess such strength, wouldn't they be directly comparable to us once they break through to the Venerable realm?"

The Nightmare Beast Lord's golden and silver eyes shone with a strange light as he spoke.

"It's alright, but two high-grade treasures are too many. I can only offer one at most," the Lord of Black Gold said with a pained expression.

The Lord of the Nether Lotus smiled slightly: "I support Black Gold. I will only contribute one piece, and the rest can be made up by your demon race. After all, you hate humans the most."

"You two! Fine, I'll take the loss this time, one item it is, but you have to pay me right away!"

After accepting the four high-grade treasures, the Nightmare Beast Lord's mood improved, and he asked, "Will the human Zhang Yi continue the encirclement and suppression as originally planned?" "We've already bought the intelligence, so naturally we can't give up."

“Once such a person grows up, he will surely become a formidable enemy.”

"I also think we can't give up, but with Zhang Yi's strength and the protection of a top-tier cosmic overlord, the original plan has to be adjusted."

Their original plan was based on the assumption that Zhang Yi's strength was at most comparable to a cosmic overlord, and that he would not be protected by a top-tier cosmic overlord. The powerful members of the three races were divided into several teams, each team ensuring that there were at least two cosmic overlords, while top-tier cosmic overlords and cosmic masters would act alone.

During the encirclement and suppression, the three strongest squads were left to guard the exit of the passage, while the rest of the squads participated in the encirclement and suppression.

According to their original estimate, even with the help of the Hongmeng experts, each team would at least have the strength to hold them off. Once they were engaged, other teams, or even the Lord of the Universe, could arrive and quickly kill them.

But now that Zhang Yi himself possesses the strength of a cosmic overlord, and there is also a suspected top cosmic overlord by his side, their plans naturally need to be adjusted.

However, they remain confident.

After all, with the three races joining forces, there are far more powerful beings entering the Origin Space than with the Hong Alliance. The three races alliance has as many as six Universe Lords, fifteen Top Universe Overlords, and even more Universe Overlords, totaling nearly sixty.

With such a powerful lineup, there is a high probability that they will be surrounded and killed.

Subsequently, the Lord of Nightmare Beasts and the other two discussed and devised a new encirclement and suppression plan.

The overall principle remains unchanged: each of the three powerful Universe Lords will form a squad, with one top-tier Universe Overlord, three Universe Overlords, and five High-level Universe Venerables in each squad. These three strongest squads will guard the three major passages and can withstand even the Universe Lords of the Hong Alliance, while the other two squads can provide rapid support.

According to their estimates, the Hong Alliance has at most two Universe Lords who have entered the Origin Palace, or even more likely only one, and there are even fewer top-tier Universe Overlords.

The other three universe lords continued to act independently; each of them was capable of entangled or even directly killing Zhang Yi and the top universe overlords around him.

The remaining twelve top cosmic overlords formed six teams of two, with each team adding nine cosmic overlords and more than twenty high-level cosmic venerables.

In this way, these six squads can surround and kill Zhang Yi in the Origin World. Even if they cannot kill him, they can keep him occupied until the other squads provide support.

At the same time, they have sufficient strength to protect themselves.

While other factions were shocked by Zhang Yi's appearance.

In a side hall of the Hongmeng Palace, the highest power center in Hongmeng City, in the virtual universe.

"Hahaha, well done! I've had my eye on the Northern Frontier Alliance for a long time. They rely on the large number of strong members within the alliance to completely disregard my Hong Alliance."

"This time, they actually besieged Huangtian, but Zhang Yi killed them all. The Northern Frontier Alliance has nothing to say about that."

"Lord of Chaos City, which top-tier cosmic overlord is hidden in Zhang Yi's world ring? We've racked our brains but still can't figure out who it is?"

Eight palace lords sat on the throne, chatting and laughing with each other.

The Lord of Chaos City was also standing to the side, smiling.

He was filled with doubt. The main reason he suggested that Zhang Yi go to the Primal Star was to hone his skills, since every strong person cannot break through by simply meditating.

He did make arrangements for Zhang Yi's safety, but those arrangements were made with Gui Yi, who has yet to meet Zhang Yi, which has been causing him great anxiety.

"What exactly is going on? Could it be Zhang Yi's own strength?" The Chaos City Lord wondered to himself, after all, he had witnessed the heaven-defying scene when Zhang Yi broke through to immortality, and had also felt his powerful divine body.

However, the Lord of Chaos City immediately shook his head. Even if Zhang Yi's divine body power was comparable to that of a universe overlord, his realm and the creation of secret techniques were far inferior to those of a universe overlord. He did not even have the strength of a universe overlord, so how could he possibly have the strength of a top universe overlord?
