Swallowing the Stars: Heart of the Martial God

Chapter 101 Collect some interest first

Upon arriving at the Primordial Star, Zhou Heng's clone did not rush to search for treasures.

The opening period of the Primal Star is coming to an end, and many powerful individuals who felt they had gained a lot have already quietly left.

The rest were either greedy gamblers trying to make a quick buck at the last minute, or unlucky souls who had gained nothing and were unwilling to leave empty-handed. Of course, there were also some normal strong individuals who had made rapid progress in their strength during this period and wanted to come to the Primordial Star to explore, or who had accepted a mission from their clan and were doing their best to search for parts of a certain treasure set.

The battles and killings on the entire Primordial Star are no longer as intense as they were at the beginning.

While the rate at which treasures are created has not decreased, the number of rare items at the top-tier level has become much smaller.

However, Ling Xuan's purpose in this trip was not for those precious treasures, but rather to seek out strong opponents to fight and hone his skills.

He did not act rashly, but instead slowly sought out a suitable opponent while diligently studying and attempting to create his own unique secret technique.

After all, the secret techniques in the Void Scripture were not his original creations, and he had already reached his limit in the current stage. If he wanted to contend with the true master of the universe in the future, relying on the existing Void Secret Techniques would undoubtedly make him easily suppressed by the opponent.

Zhou Heng's clone was hidden inside the Void-Breaking Palace. This precious palace emitted a faint light, as if it had merged with the void, and explored the primordial star at a leisurely pace.

As he moved forward, he carefully sensed the energy around him.

Based on the information available, this is a common method used by most powerful individuals on the original star to find treasures.

After a long time, a surge of energy came with a "boom" and traveled a long distance to reach Zhou Heng's clone.

“It’s there.” Zhou Heng’s clone suddenly turned his head and looked into the distance.

Whoosh!
He manipulated the Void-Breaking Hall, transforming it into a streak of light, its speed constantly increasing.

Even at extremely high speeds, the resistance it encountered did not have much of an impact on it; this flying palace-like treasure remained as stable as a rock.

Easily increasing its speed to near the speed of light, it flew towards the direction from which the energy was coming from.

Below lay an endless wasteland. Zhou Heng's clone sped along and soon spotted several powerful figures fighting on the distant rolling hills.

He quickly landed and saw six cosmic venerables.

The two sides in the fight were of mixed races, with different auras, and were clearly not of the same race, but rather an alliance.

Zhou Heng's clone quickly made a judgment: "One side is the Zerg Alliance, and the other side seems to be the Nine Domains Alliance."

Besides the nine super powers, there are twelve top powers in the universe. In terms of the number of races and the number of cosmic venerables, the twelve top powers are not necessarily inferior to the Human Alliance or the Demon Alliance, but they do not have the strongest beings in the universe to oversee them.

“There are also six powerful teams watching.” Zhou Heng’s clone glanced over.

Clearly, the commotion of the battle here had attracted many powerful alien races. Besides our group, there were six other groups, but they simply watched from a distance and did not intervene.

“The Prison Clan Alliance, the Crystal Clan Alliance, the Thorn Ring Alliance…” Zhou Heng’s clone silently observed, and had a general understanding of the various forces in his mind.

The focus of the struggle between the two sides is three treasures with a restrained aura.

Judging from its aura, it should only be a valuable treasure.

In the outside world, if a treasure's aura is concealed, it is very difficult to tell whether it is a supreme treasure or a minor treasure.

But the original star was different.

The Primordial Star is a treasure planet, teeming with riches. The appearance of ordinary treasures... rarely causes a stir; some top-tier sets of ordinary treasures might cause a minor commotion, but the appearance of a 'Supreme Treasure' always generates a significant commotion! The greater the commotion, the higher the level of the Supreme Treasure! There are even instances where a palace rises from the ground, containing Supreme Treasures, and so on...

In short, the greater the commotion, the higher the level of the treasure.

As more and more powerful figures arrived from the surrounding area, the two sides in the battle gradually stopped fighting.

“A total of five treasures have appeared. We have already seized two. Let’s leave the remaining three to them,” said a Kawu Clan Venerable from the Zerg Alliance.

The other two powerful figures nodded in agreement. Continuing the fight would be counterproductive, so it was better to retreat and preserve the gains.

Although two treasures are not enough for three people, unless they are particularly compatible treasures, they are almost always offered to the alliance in exchange for corresponding contribution points, and then distributed according to the amount of contribution.

Then they can exchange the treasures they need from the Alliance's treasury.

Even if someone is particularly suited to a certain treasure, they will compensate the other two with corresponding contribution points, so there is no need to worry about unequal distribution of rewards.

With the three Cosmic Venerables of the Zerg Alliance leaving, the others naturally didn't stop them. There were still three treasures to fight for, so they all joined the battle.

Ling Xuan, meanwhile, piloted the Void-Breaking Palace, following the three Cosmic Venerables of the Zerg Alliance.

Ling had not forgotten the time when the Zerg Alliance sent a cosmic overlord to assassinate him.

The Zerg Queens are few in number and each one is powerful, so it's not advisable to provoke them rashly. The only option is to first collect some interest from these powerful members of the Zerg Alliance.

The two sides traveled at near-light speed, one after the other. Before long, the three Cosmic Venerables of the Zerg Alliance in front stopped.

"You've been following us for so long, you really don't take the three of us seriously, do you?" Ling Xuan's undisguised malice forced them to take him seriously.

The reason they didn't bother with the other party before was because Ling Xuan had been hiding inside the treasure palace, and the three of them didn't yet have the ability to break through the palace's treasures and drag out the cosmic venerable one inside.

But we can't let them keep following us!
"Hehe~" A sinister laugh came from Zhou Heng's clone inside the Void Breaking Hall. "I heard that the three of you just snatched two precious treasures. Why don't you take them out and let me have a look at them?"

"You bastard!" The three cosmic venerables were immediately enraged; Ling Xuan's words were undoubtedly a blatant provocation.

"If you want to see our treasures, then come out of your tortoise shell," the Kawu Clan Venerable sneered.

"That's exactly what I was thinking." Ling Xuan came out of the Void Breaking Hall and looked at the three Universe Venerables in front of him.

The humanoid form of Zhou Heng's clone was surrounded by faint crimson-gold flames, as if it were condensed from pure fire energy. The air around him was scorched and slightly distorted, and with each breath, tiny sparks escaped from his mouth and nose.

The three Zerg Alliance Universe Venerables opposite them belonged to three different races within the alliance.

The leader of the Kawu tribe was as tall and strong as an iron tower. His skin was dark brown with a rocky texture and covered with irregular ridges. He had a pair of dark golden curved horns on his head, like tempered metal. His arms were as thick as giant pillars with protruding knuckles, which showed his amazing strength at a glance.

The other was a Shadow Clan Venerable, tall and thin, his entire body shrouded in a gray-black robe.

Another was a Venerable of the Riftwind Clan, with a well-proportioned figure and pale blue skin. He carried two slender curved swords on his back, with blue gemstones inlaid on the hilts, exuding a sharp aura.

"Now that you're out, don't even think about going back!" The Kawu Clan Venerable roared and launched the first attack. His massive body charged forward, his fists clenched, slamming towards Zhou Heng's clone with a whistling sound. His fists were surrounded by earth-yellow energy, as if they contained the weight of mountains, and the air exploded with a dull thud.

The Shadowface Clan Venerable and the Riftwind Clan Venerable also made their move at the same time. The Shadowface Clan Venerable's figure flickered, transforming into a blurry black shadow, and instantly appeared to the left of Zhou Heng's clone. His black claws, accompanied by a sharp sound of tearing through the air, grabbed at his ribs. The tips of his claws were surrounded by a faint gray mist, exuding an aura that eroded the soul.

"None of you will escape today!" Ling Xuan said in a low voice, flipping his right hand, which was covered in crimson-gold flames.

In an instant, the world changed color. The once clear sky was instantly shrouded in dense darkness, and countless cracks seemed to be quietly spreading in the void.
