Swallowed Star: The Original Secret Realm

Chapter 156 Origin Tower

Outside the black tower, the Lord of Sinking Fire saw that Zhang Yi had vanished. The nine fiery red tentacles on his head trembled slightly.

His majestic and imposing divine body hovered in mid-air, gazing at the black tower, his heart filled with rage.

"This human is insane, daring to run straight into this black tower."

"They would rather die than leave the treasure to me."

Zhang Yi had no choice but to enter, otherwise he would have been worn down and perished sooner or later.

However, he was well aware of the terror of the black tower in the Origin Palace. According to the information he had received, all the powerful individuals who entered the tower perished very quickly, including even a Universe Lord from the Nine Domains Alliance.

Although he was confident that he was stronger than the universe lord of the Nine Domains Alliance, he did not dare to enter rashly.

"In any case, successfully killing Zhang Yi is a great achievement." The Lord of Sinking Fire did not believe that Zhang Yi could survive the Black Tower.

With his strength as a top-tier cosmic overlord, there was absolutely no chance of him surviving.

After a moment's thought, he immediately reported the news that "Zhang Yi entered the Black Tower" to the Three Races Alliance. The highest-level order from the alliance quickly came down, instructing him to stay where he was, keep a close watch, and ensure that Zhang Yi never came out again.

……

Phantom Star, at the top of the building.

"The Lord of Youhou appeared and blocked Banfu?"

"Zhang Yi actually entered the Black Tower? He's really courting death."

"He was also driven to desperation by the Sinking Flame." The Lord of Nightmare Beasts, the Lord of the Dark Lotus, and others were all somewhat taken aback when they received the news.

They originally thought that the Lord of Banff would take action to see if he could control Zhang Yi's soul, and even if he failed, he would kill him directly. However, the result was beyond their expectations.

"Do you think he can come out of the Black Tower?" Lord of the Nether Lotus asked, still worried.

"He's doomed. Even the Lord of the Universe has fallen, let alone him."

"We're doomed, but just to be on the safe side, let Shen Huo guard outside the Black Tower."

The Lord of Nightmare Beasts and the Lord of Black Gold spoke in succession.

"it is good."

……

While the powerful figures of the Three Races Alliance were filled with joy, the powerful figures of the Hong Alliance who were blocking them from afar were filled with anger, yet also felt a sense of powerlessness.

The Hongmeng's power is naturally sufficient to fight against any one of the three races, but it is far from being a match for the three-race alliance.

"Since the opening of the Origin Hall, no powerful person has ever survived. I wonder if Zhang Yi can create another miracle."

"I think it's difficult. Although I also hope that Zhang Yi can be released, reason tells me that it's unlikely."

In a side hall of the Hongmeng Hall.

"Uncle-Master, Zhang Yi, what about him?" Lord Youhou looked at the Chaos City Lord on the throne, a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

"Senior brother." The Lord of Ice also looked at him.

"You two, don't rush," the Chaos City Lord said with a slight smile. "Zhang Yi won't die."

"Huh?" The Lord of Icebound and the Lord of the Netherworld were taken aback.

“He has clones,” the Chaos City Lord said directly.

"A clone? No wonder you weren't in such a hurry, Uncle Master." Lord Youhou breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Wait until the three-race alliance discovers that they went to such great lengths to kill Zhang Yi."

"And Zhang Yi reappeared soon after; I really want to see their expressions then."

“Even now, Zhang Yi hasn’t perished immediately. After entering the Black Tower, he sent me an email, saying only that he was experiencing great danger and that he was going to fight with all his might,” the Chaos City Lord said again.

"If Zhang Yi can really walk out of the Black Tower alive, that would be another miracle," the Lord of Ice sighed.

Inside the black palace tower amidst the turmoil from all sides.

As time and space shifted, Zhang Yi stared blankly ahead. This was a vast space, and he was standing at its edge. In the distance, at the center of the space, floated a six-story tower, almost identical in appearance to the black tower he had entered, except for the number of stories.

The tower was surrounded by white mist, making everything appear blurry.

"Why is this place different from where the Hongmeng experts entered?" Zhang Yi looked around cautiously.

Previously, some powerful members of the Hong Alliance had entered the Black Tower, but when they entered, they found themselves in a huge canyon with a terrifying environment: endless scorching flames, extremely cold winds, black lightning, and so on.

They all perished in the canyon. According to the Hongmeng, no powerful being from any race in the universe has yet been able to cross the canyon.

Whoosh! Just as Zhang Yi was wondering, a message was transmitted to his mind.

The gist of it is that he can reach the central Origin Tower by crossing the iron chain bridge in front of him, and entering the Origin Tower will bring him great benefits.

"Hmm?" Zhang Yi saw a long iron chain bridge appear before him, leading to the Origin Tower in the center.

Zhang Yi stepped onto the iron chain bridge.

"What a strong pressure."

Walking on the suspension bridge, Zhang Yi felt the endless space and time around him squeezing him, making it difficult for him to move an inch.

Suddenly, Zhang Yi thought of something and quickly activated the "Space-Time Evolution" technique, which immediately reduced the pressure around him.

"Just as I thought, the mountain-like pressure around us must be the application of the spacetime fusion law, only it's much deeper than what he comprehended," Zhang Yi thought to himself.

We've walked one-third of the way across the suspension bridge.

Whoosh! A strange beast bathed in lightning appeared, the very same source beast that Zhang Yi had encountered before.

"Kill!" Zhang Yi thrust out his spear.

Boom! The source beast turned into ashes instantly.

“This is a general-level source beast.” Zhang Yi continued forward.

When they reached the halfway point of the suspension bridge, another strange beast with huge wings, a long tail, and blue skin appeared.

Zhang Yi thrust out his spear once again, and the Source Beast was killed.

However, this source beast's strength is comparable to that of a cosmic overlord, and it should be the so-called king-level source beast.

Zhang Yi continued along the suspension bridge, approaching the end of the bridge.

Whoosh! A four-legged beast, resembling a giant lizard with a single, sharp horn pointing skyward, roared and charged forward.

The long lizard tail lashed out.

"Such formidable strength! It's probably at the threshold of a top-tier cosmic overlord." Zhang Yi sensed the immense power of the source beast before him.

This four-legged giant lizard is definitely a royal-level source beast. Its aura is very similar to that of the Golden Void Beast God, only its strength is much weaker.

Buzz! The 'battle spear' in Zhang Yi's hand burst forth with dazzling light, and countless secret patterns appeared on the spear, unleashing boundless power.

"Kill!" Zhang Yi charged toward the giant lizard-like beast.

Moments later, Zhang Yi killed the giant lizard.

"This Origin Beast only possesses the strength of a top-tier cosmic overlord; its defensive capabilities are far inferior." Zhang Yi watched as the enormous Origin Beast turned to ashes.

Most top-tier universe overlords wear high-grade treasure armor, and to kill one would require at least the strength of a second-tier universe lord. This source beast had decent burst power, but its defense was far weaker, which is why it was killed by Zhang Yi.

Whoosh! Zhang Yi quickly walked to the other end of the iron chain bridge.

In front of the Origin Tower, Zhang Yi crossed the iron chain bridge and appeared in front of the tower gate.

He looked up and saw that the tower had six floors, with the upper three floors shrouded in white mist.

He then stepped into the Origin Tower.
