Swallowing the Stars: Heart of the Martial God

It would have been better if Chapter 114 hadn't mentioned it; mentioning it only made them fight even more fiercely.
"Alright, you guys wait there obediently. I want to see who dares to hit my son." Ling Xuan quickly locked onto the location of the heritage site in the virtual universe, quickened his pace, and sped towards his destination.

According to information from the virtual universe, this relic is suspected to be a legacy from before the Great Cataclysm, left behind by a powerful figure from a previous era of reincarnation.

Due to the unique nature of the original universe, some of its heritage was preserved.

It has reappeared from the depths of the secret realm for unknown reasons.

Its geographical features, architectural style, or rather, its artistic style, are completely different from those of Qinggu Secret Realm.

Passing through layers of floating continents, Ling Xuan could see a magnificent group of ruins in the distance.

Outside the ruins, the strongholds of various factions were scattered everywhere, with flags fluttering, subtly revealing an atmosphere of impending conflict.

Following the directions given by Ling Shuang, he quickly found the location of the Qianwu Secret Realm's encampment.

At the entrance of the camp, three figures were craning their necks in anticipation; they were Ling Shuang, Ling Yu, and Ling Feng.

Upon seeing Ling Xuan appear, the three of them brightened up and quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"Dad!" the three of them called out in unison.

"Who did it?" Looking at the three brothers' youthful faces, Ling Xuan couldn't help but think of their mother, his voice as cold as the ice of winter.

He had to vent his anger, and a wisp of holy might unconsciously emanated from him, making the surrounding air heavy.

The third brother, Ling Feng, immediately said, "It was done by people from Tianyuan Mountain in the Kun Gu Universe Kingdom."

"At first, there were some conflicts over the materials needed to complete the mercenary assessment, but the three of us brothers weren't afraid of them. Later, after the ruins appeared, powerful figures from various races poured in, and we led the Candle Dragon Clan's experts to overpower them, seizing quite a few tokens for entering the ruins," Ling Feng continued.
"The people of Tianyuan Mountain can't afford to lose. After they allowed the Realm Lord level experts to enter, their Realm Lord came and threatened us to hand over the token. The Mountain Lord of Tianyuan Mountain is extremely powerful. It is said that he is a powerful expert who has returned from the battlefield outside the domain. Even the predecessors of the Zhulong Clan were no match for him."

"Several seniors perished because of a mere argument. If the seniors from the Heavenly Phoenix Clan hadn't arrived later, we would have perished as well."

"I see." Ling Xuan nodded thoughtfully. "You didn't mention my name?"

He is the realm master of the Giant Axe Arena and the Giant Axe Secret Realm, the strongest human genius of this era, who has successively conquered the Primal Tongtian Mountain, which is at both the cosmic and domain master levels.

Although after becoming the Lord of the Realm, he changed his name and identity to avoid being assassinated by alien races, he should still have some deterrent power.

"Dad, it would have been better if you hadn't mentioned it, because the moment you did, they got even more into it." The third brother, Ling Feng, fanned the flames from the side, adding fuel to the fire, "Whatever dish they say, they should practice more. Who does Ling Xuan think he is? He has no status."

The eldest sister, Ling Shuang, quickly stopped the third brother from continuing his fabrication, saying that he shouldn't make up stories about his own father just to get revenge.

But Ling Xuan was trembling with anger. How dare he slap himself in front of his son? He was determined to make sure Ling Xuan's face was swollen today.

"Fine, fine, so you'll have to practice cooking more, huh?" Ling Xuan's voice was full of coldness.

“Master, the news that you have passed through the Primordial Heavenly Mountain, which is at the Domain Lord level, seems to have been kept from the higher-ups. Even information about your breakthrough to the Realm Lord level requires certain permissions to be found. External information indicates that you are still in seclusion in Chaos City,” Puff explained.

"So that's how it is. No wonder they dared to disregard me. Did they think I was still working hard to break through the Primordial Heavenly Mountain, a Domain Lord level?" Ling Xuan imagined to himself.

"Lead the way. I want to see just how capable this Lord of Tianyuan Mountain really is."

The third brother, Ling Feng, immediately stepped forward to lead the way, wishing his father would avenge him right away. "Dad, over here, over here."

“By the way, Dad, they not only beat up the three of us, but they almost beat up Grandpa too. Do you think we should go see Grandpa?” Ling Feng suddenly asked.

"What's wrong with my dad?" Ling Xuan asked curiously. He knew his father was a bit restless and liked adventure, but he didn't expect him to come with his sons to participate in the mercenary assessment of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance.

"Grandpa is also preparing to participate in the upcoming Cosmic Level Strongest Battle. He said that if it weren't for that brat cheating and ambushing him last time, he would definitely have become a genius in the core layer of the Giant Axe Arena. This time, he is determined to break into the Virtual Universe Company."

Ling Xuan felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this. He had already learned about this from his second sister, Ling Xue, and had also watched the replay of that battle. That brat was himself, but he hadn't told anyone and had secretly deleted the video.

"Let's get revenge first." Ling Xuan decided to deal with the other party first.

Does one experience on an extraterrestrial battlefield make you think you're invincible?
Do you know that the alien realm lords of the outer battlefields tremble with fear at the mere mention of my name?

Led by Ling Feng, the father and his three sons arrived at their camp at Tianyuan Mountain.

The encampment was magnificent, with two huge stone beast statues standing at the entrance, exuding an aura of majesty.

Outside the camp, many disciples of Tianyuan Mountain walked back and forth, their expressions arrogant.

This Tianyuan Mountain was founded by a Marquis-level expert named "Tianyuan Marquis" from the Kun Gu Universe Kingdom. Tianyuan Marquis's teacher was an even more renowned King-level Immortal.

Therefore, the disciples of Tianyuan Mountain are usually very arrogant. In addition, the current mountain master has extremely high talent. While he is about to comprehend the law of lightning, he is also comprehending the law of time.

Almost everyone believed that once this mountain lord broke through, he might have combat power close to the Marquis level, making Tianyuan Mountain the most prominent mountain in the Kun Gu Universe Kingdom for a time.

They naturally didn't take the Candle Dragon Empire, a relatively unknown mid-sized universe kingdom located far away in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, seriously.

Just treat it as a roadside road.

“This is it, Dad,” Ling Feng said through gritted teeth, pointing to the camp.

Ling Xuan's gaze swept across the Tianyuan Mountain encampment, and his aura suddenly erupted, like a dormant volcano awakening, a powerful pressure sweeping towards the encampment.

The disciples of Tianyuan Mountain within the camp immediately felt this terrifying pressure, and their expressions changed drastically, filled with panic.

"Who dares to act so boldly in my Tianyuan Mountain camp?" A loud voice came from within the camp, and then a figure soared into the sky and landed in front of Ling Xuan.

The newcomer was clad in silver armor, with a burly build and wisps of electric snakes swirling around him. The power of the world surged within him, and a faint lightning mark adorned his brow. Clearly, he was a peak world lord recognized by the laws of lightning, possessing immense strength.

No wonder Tianyuan Mountain is so arrogant; any Realm Lord that comes out is a powerful figure recognized by the laws.

"It's Elder Sun!" The panicked disciples of Tianyuan Mountain were overjoyed.

"Great, we are saved."

"The person who comes here is doomed."

"I am Ling Xuan," Ling Xuan said calmly.

"Ling Xuan?" Elder Sun frowned impatiently. "Which Ling Xuan? How dare he come to my Tianyuan Mountain to provoke me? Does he have a death wish?"

"You don't recognize me?" Ling Xuan asked in surprise. Although he knew that he was keeping a low profile now, the name "Ling Xuan" was well-known among stellar-level geniuses more than a thousand years ago. He didn't expect that no one here would know him.

"Who do you think you are? Why should I know you?" Elder Sun saw that the other party was indifferent and thought that he was just being unreasonable. His anger intensified, and he raised his hand to strike.

He had heard of the name Ling Xuan before; it was the name of an extremely brilliant stellar-level genius from over a thousand years ago.

But what does that have to do with a realm lord?
Could it be that she thinks she's a genius just because she shares the same name as that genius?
Then let me give you some electroshock therapy to wake you up.

This palm strike was imbued with immense power, the wind whipping up countless lightning bolts and tearing the void with minute cracks, clearly indicating no intention to hold back.
