Swallowing the Stars: Heart of the Martial God

Chapter 93 Ruins Tide
"Uncle-Master, to be able to confront a powerful cosmic overlord head-on is truly admirable." Venerable Qianyue composed himself, approached Ling Xuan, and his eyes held a peculiar emotion.

Ling Xuan remained calm and humbly replied, "It was merely borrowing Senior Void's physical body; it's nothing to mention."

Venerable Qianyue nodded slightly, but a hint of emotion still lingered in his expression: "Even so, being able to contend with a cosmic overlord is extremely rare. I have been trapped at the level of a high-level cosmic venerable for over ten thousand epochs, constantly searching for a path to breakthrough, but to no avail..."

Her words carried a hint of helplessness and dejection, but as a cosmic venerable, she quickly adjusted her emotions and smiled, "Fortunately, I have my senior uncle here. Perhaps I can get your guidance in the future and find a breakthrough opportunity."

Ling Xuan patted her shoulder, his tone carrying the composure of an elder: "Qian Yue, cultivation cannot be rushed; it requires time to mature."

Venerable Qianyue snorted, turned around, and muttered, "Hmph, Uncle-Master, come and lecture me when you've been stuck in a certain realm for just as many years."

After saying that, he stepped on the floating pebbles and strode away.

Ling Xuan shook his head helplessly and called out, "Puff."

A flash of pink light appeared, and Puff, a catgirl in a lace mini-skirt, leaped out of the void and lightly landed on Ling Xuan's shoulder, her fluffy tail wrapping around his neck: "Master~ Puff's here! I just sent the news of the attack to the higher-ups at the Giant Axe Arena, and reinforcements will be here soon!"

Ling Xuan raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on his lips: "Puff, you're pretty amazing, you actually knew to secretly send emails for me."

In contrast, Babata was like a ghost; whenever Luo Feng faced a life-or-death crisis and went into seclusion, Babata never bothered to help Luo Feng contact his family to explain the situation.

Puff proudly raised her head, stuck out her pink little tongue and licked Ling Xuan's cheek, her tail wagging smugly: "Of course! I'm Master's most sweet little darling~"

"Place another order for me, buy those treasures."

"I've already placed your order, dear master." Puff happily nuzzled against Ling Xuan.

"So well-behaved." Ling Xuan stroked the kitten on his shoulder with satisfaction.

Just then, space was torn open like silk, and a giant savage wearing black armor and wielding a sharp axe appeared above the floating island.

"Junior brother, are you alright?"

"Second Senior Brother?!" Ling Xuan looked in the direction of the voice and was both surprised and delighted to see who it was.

"Teacher!" Venerable Qianyue, who had just left, rushed over again and bowed respectfully.

Venerable Crack Axe nodded slightly, his gaze serious: "Upon hearing of your attack, I rushed here immediately. Where is Venerable Bone Devourer now?"

After briefly recounting what had happened, Ling Xuan said, "We have been chased all the way by Senior Brother Guiyi and the three Heavenly Phoenix Venerables, and we don't know where they have hidden now."

The Axe-Splitter's eyes instantly turned icy cold, and his aura surged: "That damned insect is truly shameless, actually sending a cosmic overlord to assassinate you. Luckily, you're unharmed!"

He looked at Venerable Qianyue and said in a deep voice, "You stay here and take good care of your uncle. I'll be right back!"

Before he finished speaking, he instantly vanished into the void, leaving only a faint spatial ripple behind.

Shortly afterward, the reconstruction team for the Giant Axe Arena arrived.

Dozens of engineering vessels hovered in mid-air, their hulls projecting a deep blue holographic light screen, with densely packed commands flashing rapidly.

Half a month later, Venerable Guiyi and Venerable Liefu, along with Venerable Tianfeng and the other two, returned to the Chaos Ruins.

Venerable Guiyi laughed heartily, his voice booming: "This time, the Zerg failed to assassinate Junior Brother and also lost a cosmic overlord. They'll probably be heartbroken for a long time."

After the death of the cosmic overlord, only the strongest being in the universe has the ability to resurrect him.

The Zerg only has one strongest being in the universe, the Zerg Queen. As the strongest being among the Zerg, she spends most of her time roaming the cosmic ocean, just like the Giant Axe Founder.

In that case, it would be impossible to resurrect the Bone Eater. We can't just call the Zerg Queen back from the cosmic sea for the sake of a cosmic overlord.

"Thank you for your hard work, senior brothers," Ling Xuan said respectfully, his face full of gratitude.

Venerable Guiyi waved his hand and replied magnanimously, "You are my junior brother, this is what a senior brother should do. Besides, these scum of the Zerg dared to trespass into my human territory and run wild, they deserve to die a thousand deaths."

"Now that this matter is settled, I'll head back. After this battle, the Zerg should not dare to come again for a while. A cosmic overlord is not something to be trifled with." Venerable Rift Axe smiled at Ling Xuan, his eyes full of expectation, "Junior brother, I look forward to the day you grow stronger!"

Having said that, Venerable Rift Axe flashed and instantly teleported away from the Chaos Abyss, leaving only a faint ripple in space.

Construction of the Chaotic Ruins is proceeding steadily once again.

Time flies, and another century has passed in the blink of an eye.

During these hundred years, Ling Xuan immersed himself in cultivation day and night, and his Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique successfully broke through to the third level.

A total of 51600 microparticles were activated in the body, and the gene multiplication rate reached 37 times, making it a special life form that is completely infertile.

However, the cultivation of the Void Scripture has reached a bottleneck. The path from the peak of Saint King to Great Saint requires extremely profound foundation.

It can be said that the cultivation of the single "Void Scripture" becomes increasingly difficult as one progresses, requiring more scriptures of great emperors as references to gradually forge one's own path.

He was not an imperial prince, and he did not have any innate imperial laws that would allow him to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors.

The deity of the Void Mirror remained asleep and could not offer Ling Xuan any further guidance.

It was originally agreed that the slumber would only last for a hundred years, but now two hundred years have passed and there is still no sign of the Void Mirror deity waking up.

"Uncle-Master." Venerable Qianyue's clear voice rang out again outside Lingxuan's cultivation chamber.

"You've arrived, Qian Yue." Ling Xuan was already used to his venerable junior disciple's occasional visits. With a smile, he raised his hand and opened the door to the cultivation chamber.

Qian Yue was dressed in a tight-fitting outfit that perfectly outlined her slender and agile figure. Her long hair was tied up high, showing the competence of a martial artist.

She walked lightly into the secret chamber, a strange look in her eyes: "The tide of the Ruins has begun to erupt. I'll take my uncle over to take a look. Many cosmic venerables have already rushed over."

The Ruins Abyss is the most dangerous and perilous place in the Chaos Ruins Abyss, where the treasures of the five main gods were all born.

Each time the Void Abyss tide erupts, these treasures are born.

At that time, many treasures, valuable items, and rare materials will be ejected by the tide.

Normally, the Ruins are extremely dangerous. According to the machine detection in the Giant Axe Arena, the energy fluctuations there require at least a top-tier cosmic overlord to withstand.

However, the true risks involved remain unknown.

Ling Xuan's lips curled up into a smile: "This eruption of the Void Abyss tide, spewing out treasures, must be a grand event for your universe's venerables. As a mere domain lord, I'm asking you to go out of your way to take care of me."

Venerable Qianyue shook his head gently, smiling: "Because of my master's favor, I have already gained a lot of benefits along the way, so I won't compete with the other universe venerables. Otherwise, they would complain to the universe lords about the unfairness."

She blinked and continued, "It's a good opportunity to take my martial uncle to see the tides erupting in this Void Abyss. Perhaps he can gain some insights. The tides in this Void Abyss are essentially a kind of spatial fluctuation, which is a rare sight."

A touch of emotion welled up in Ling Xuan's heart, and he said sincerely, "Then I'll trouble you, Qian Yue."

Venerable Qianyue walked to Ling Xuan's side and extended his fair hand: "Uncle-Master, let's set off now."

Ling Xuan nodded slightly and placed his hand on hers, clearly feeling the softness and warmth of her jade-like hands.

In an instant, a flash of light surrounded the two of them, and they teleported away, heading towards the Ruins.

When they arrived at the Ruins, the dreamlike scene before them left a lasting impression on Ling Xuan.

Within the abyss, the surging tides resembled enormous spatial pythons, tumbling and writhing wildly in the void.

Wherever the tide passes, space seems to be kneaded and twisted by an invisible hand, sometimes twisted into a pretzel shape, and sometimes stretched as thin as a cicada's wing, as if it will shatter at any moment.

Strange lights flickered from time to time within those spatial rifts, seemingly concealing countless unknown treasures and secrets.

The void was filled with a rich power of laws, which transformed into colorful mist, dreamlike and ethereal. Every wisp of mist carried a mysterious rhythm, as if chanting an ancient cosmic song.

Many cosmic venerables had already gathered here, their figures appearing and disappearing in the strange light and mist. Some were gazing up at the tides, while others were exchanging ideas and discussing with each other, their eyes sparkling with excitement and anticipation.
