Swallowed Star: The Original Secret Realm

Chapter 150 The Black Tower
Virtual universe, Hongmeng Palace.

“Lord of Chaos City, be careful that the demon race, the mechanical race, and the insect race may join forces against your disciple,” said a palace master of an alien race with four thick arms and only one large eye on his head.

"Yes, Chaos, among the powerful figures who entered the Origin Palace this time, our Hong Alliance doesn't have many. Once the three races form an alliance, even if your disciple has a top-tier cosmic overlord by his side, he will inevitably suffer a great loss."

"Oh no!" a cry of alarm rang out.

"You guessed right. Just now, one of the universe overlords in my clan saw a large group of mechanical and demon races. He didn't dare to get close, but he could vaguely sense that there was definitely a top universe overlord in this group."

"Those three races have really shamelessly formed an alliance!"

"The main problem is that Zhang Yi is too much of a threat. Now that the Origin Palace has the opportunity, they naturally want to get rid of him."

A group of palace masters from the Hong Alliance were discussing the matter animatedly, especially the palace masters from the human race, who were particularly anxious.

With a towering physique and a long dragon tail, the Dragon Lord couldn't help but look at the Chaos City Lord, his powerful voice carrying a hint of urgency: "Chaos, you heard it too, Zhang Yi is your disciple, and also an unparalleled genius of our human race, you must think of a way quickly."

"Otherwise, once the powerful forces of the three races form an encirclement, Zhang Yi will have no chance of escape."

Zhang Yi belongs to his Virtual Universe Company. Once he grows up, his Virtual lineage will have another Universe Lord, which will be more than the Giant Axe lineage.

The Chaos City Lord, seated on the central throne, frowned slightly and said, "Things have come to this point. I will immediately arrange for the experts of my Hong Alliance to protect us as much as possible. But as you all know, once the three races join forces, the number of experts in my Hong Alliance will be at a great disadvantage. We can only do our best and leave it to my disciple."

After the Chaos City Lord finished speaking, he nodded slightly to the assembled Palace Masters and then disappeared, clearly to coordinate the Hong Alliance's experts.

Whoosh! Zhang Yi reappeared in the deep canyon of the mountains. He looked up and saw that the huge spatial vortex from before had disappeared.

"As expected, it's the same situation as the treasure spaces encountered by other Hongmeng experts. Leaving the treasure space through the spatial vortex will only return you to the original entry and exit point. Moreover, the spatial vortex will dissipate after the treasure hunt is over," Zhang Yi thought to himself.

"Get out of here first."

"Continue searching for the exit." With a thought, Zhang Yi flew directly away from the canyon.

Finding the exit is the most important thing right now; only by knowing the exit can we have a way out.

Time passed, and the days went by.

Zhang Yi had been exploring and searching for treasures. In addition to looking for an exit passage, he also killed many source beasts along the way and obtained a large number of source cores. These source core crystals were all of general level and basically contained the fusion laws of the eight great beast gods.

Another month passed, and Zhang Yi still hadn't found the exit, but he encountered several alien cosmic venerables. However, Zhang Yi didn't make a move. Firstly, they hadn't provoked him, and he wasn't one to kill. Secondly, these were mostly high-level cosmic venerables, and generally only possessed one ordinary treasure, some even lacking none.

Several months later, Zhang Yi encountered another spatial vortex and entered the treasure space.

At this moment, many powerful individuals had gathered in the treasure space, forming opposing formations.

However, when Zhang Yi appeared in his black armor, the expressions of the alien venerables from various forces changed. Among this group of venerables, there were only a handful of universe overlords.

They had all heard the news of the fall of the Qixue Palace Master.

"Let's retreat. We can't win. Zhang Yi has a top-tier cosmic overlord by his side. If we're too slow, we'll be killed, which would be a great injustice."

"There's no hope."

Soon, the Venerables of the Treasure Space began to leave, leaving only one cosmic overlord from the Nine Domains Alliance.

Zhang Yi looked at the cosmic overlord of the Nine Domains Alliance, Venerable Ba Feng, a alien with a body similar to a bamboo pole and a face covered in downy hair.

“Venerable Bafeng, are you planning to have a match with me?” Zhang Yi asked with a smile.

"Zhang Yi, you dare to be so arrogant just because you have a top-tier cosmic overlord behind you. If you were alone, hmph, I would have torn you to pieces long ago!" Venerable Bafeng sneered. He had finally encountered a treasure space, so naturally he was unwilling to give it up.

"Venerable Bafeng, are you courting death?" Zhang Yi suddenly roared.

Whoosh!
He transformed into a streak of light and rushed towards Venerable Bafeng, who let out a low roar and immediately accelerated towards the spatial vortex. He knew very well that he had to keep his distance from Zhang Yi. If he got close, Zhang Yi would release a domain-type treasure, and then that top universe overlord would appear, and he would be in danger.

Whoosh! Venerable Bafeng disappeared directly into the spatial vortex.

"You're lucky you left quickly." Zhang Yi chuckled, then looked at the black tower in the center.

After acquiring the treasures of this treasure space, Zhang Yi continued his adventures.

"Ok?"

"There seems to be the aura of a Source Beast nearby?" He had already killed several Source Beasts during this period and was quite familiar with their auras.

Zhang Yi transformed into a streak of light and swiftly flew towards the direction of the aura.

"A black tower?"

"These Origin Beasts are actually near the Black Tower?" Zhang Yi looked into the distance.

Before a black tower stood a dozen or so Source Beasts, each with a different form and emanating a different aura of the laws of fusion.

When Zhang Yi descended in his black armor, all the dozen or so source beasts looked over.

"This outsider is very powerful; many of my compatriots have died at his hands."

"Get out of here quickly, or we'll be dead if he comes looking for us."

Although these source beasts are not very intelligent, they can still communicate with each other and know that the outsiders in front of them are not someone they can fight.

Whoosh! In the blink of an eye, these dozen or so source beasts ran into the black tower.

They all escaped!

Seeing this, Zhang Yi was somewhat surprised. Even source beasts have moments of fear?
However, he glanced warily at the black tower and did not continue the pursuit.

Many such black towers have been discovered in this world. Initially, many alien venerables entered to search for treasures, but according to the Hong Alliance's information, all those who entered the black tower perished, including a top-tier cosmic overlord.

From then on, no strong person dared to enter the Black Tower.

Zhang Yi carefully examined the black tower, which was eleven stories high and exuded a powerful aura and a familiar feeling.

He pondered for a moment, but couldn't recall where he had seen a similar aura before.

"Huh? Master Chaos City Lord is looking for me?" Zhang Yi suddenly received a message from the Chaos City Lord.

In the virtual universe, within the Hongmeng Palace, a side hall dedicated exclusively to the Lord of Chaos City, several figures stood.

Whoosh! Zhang Yi appeared out of thin air in this side hall.

"Junior brother, you've arrived." The bald, barefoot Venerable Guiyi greeted him with a serious expression.
