Swallow the starry sky, grind to become the strongest in the universe

Chapter 151 Crashing into and Killing the Universe Overlord Triggers a Precious Treasure (Bonus Chapter)

Swish!
In the center of Zijing Island, on the plaza in front of the island lord's palace, a streak of light flashed, revealing the figure of Yu Duan.

The treasure land is extremely far from Bauhinia Island. It can only be reached by teleporting through the central water curtain of the three fountains.

"Buzz!"

Yu Duan's figure flashed, accompanied by a spatial surge, and he disappeared from the spot.

……

This land of treasures is home to countless magnificent peaks, some lush and vibrant with life, others snow-capped and serene.

Yu Duan's figure appeared directly on an inconspicuous mountain peak.

"We've arrived at the treasure land... Those 108 highest peaks should be the 108 most precious treasures."

Yu Duan looked at the 108 highest peaks, which were exceptionally majestic and soared into the clouds.

A series of colorful aurora borealis rippled across the sky above the entire treasure trove, preventing anyone from forcibly excavating the treasure and obtaining its contents.

"Star Sword!"

A familiar voice came, and Yu Duan turned his gaze and saw the figure of the Venerable of Destruction.

“Destroyer of Fortune, I didn’t expect you to be in this treasure trove.” Yu Duan said with a smile.

Venerable Mieyun laughed and said, "When I have nothing to do, I just wander around this treasure land, trying my luck to see if I can unlock the treasure."

"Speaking of which, this must be your first time visiting this treasure land, Star Sword. You're usually in seclusion and don't even log into the Glory World."

Hearing Venerable Mieyun say this, Yu Duan nodded and said, "Yes, having finally entered the Ancestral God Sect, we naturally need to settle down for a while first."

"Haha, then I must tell you all about this treasure trove."

Venerable Mieyun smiled and said, "Star Sword, you probably haven't shown your full strength in the Glory World, have you?"

Yu Duan shook his head. This world of glory is not even worth a hair in the virtual universe. Even if the secret technique is perfected, it will still be done in the virtual universe.

"Then I suggest you show your strength in the world of Glory, as the conditions for opening this treasure land are ever-changing."

"It may be a requirement of a certain realm, a requirement of a certain level of life, a requirement of creating a secret method, or a requirement of comprehending the laws."

"In short, there are all sorts of things. If you don't show your skills in the world of glory, how will the treasure land know that you have met the requirements to open the treasure?"

As soon as Venerable Mieyun finished speaking, Yu Duan's face showed a look of realization: "So that's how it is. If it weren't for your reminder, Venerable Mieyun, I'm afraid I would have made a wasted trip."

"It's normal to make a wasted trip. If you can unlock the treasure on your first visit to the treasure land, that's truly incredible."

Venerable Mieyun shook his head: "Star Sword, you'd better not have too high hopes. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."

"Yes, thank you for reminding me, Mieyun."

While conversing with Venerable Mieyun, Yu Duan's consciousness also connected to the Glory World, entering a battle space similar to a 'killing arena'.

"First reveal your will, then reveal your secret technique."

Yu Duan was well aware of his own strengths.

First and foremost, it must be the level of will. Back when he was at the cosmic level, Yu Duan had already drawn upon the will of a cosmic venerable.

After overcoming this major bottleneck, as Yu Duan's understanding of the laws improves, through battles, trials, and the elevation of his soul realm, his will cannot remain unchanged.

According to Yu Duan's estimation, even if his will did not reach the limit of the Universe Venerable level, the difference would not be too much.

"Simulating the average soul pressure of a primary-level Venerable in the universe, and using illusionary secret techniques to attack!"

With a thought, Yu Duan instantly conjured up a towering crystal, a hundred meters in size.

A vast and powerful spiritual pressure suddenly swept over.

The pressure on the soul is nothing.

The real highlight is the series of illusions that follow.

However, its difficulty is equivalent to that of the 21st island in the Illusionary Sea. Yu Duan can withstand it now, but he can't hold on for too long.

"That's about enough. Now it's time to unleash our strongest secret technique!"

With a thought, Yu Duan conjured an ancient longsword in his palm.

In an instant, Yu Duan's figure became blurred, as if it had completely turned into an illusion.

"Qiang!"

With a single sword strike, time and space reverberated... and a vast, hazy river surged forth.

Time has no beginning and no end, surging and rolling like a mighty river, instantly crushing the crystal that exuded a powerful soul pressure.

This is Yu Duan's strongest technique now, a supreme sword strike that combines material and soul attacks.

Yu Duan's name is also simple and straightforward: it's called the River of Time!
……

In the real world, Yu Duan and Venerable Mieyun's figures swept across the sky at high speed, heading straight for the highest peak among the 108 mountains.

Since the goal is to unlock the treasure, the obvious target is the first peak.

"Hmm? The Human Star Sword King!"

"This fiend dares to emerge from seclusion!"

At this moment, on a lake on the ground, a gray bird with strange bones all over its body saw Yu Duan's figure. The pressure emanating from its body was much stronger than that of Venerable Mieyun.

This gray bird is also very famous; it is one of the eighteen royal families of the demon race, the Meng Wan Demon Bird.

The strongest member of this race is one of the many universe lords among the demon race, the Lord of Mengwan.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the gray demonic bird flapped its wings, its figure vanished from its original spot, and suddenly appeared in front of Yu Duan and the others.

"Star Sword King, members of your Hong Alliance are prohibited from passing through this area!"

The demonic bird's figure swelled dramatically, its exoskeleton disintegrating into countless tiny bones, which then rapidly expanded to form a wall that enveloped the entire First Peak.

At the same time, a spatial sealing force rippled outwards, not targeting Duan and Mieyun Venerable, but merely enveloping the deserted First Peak.

To reach the first peak, one must break through the divine power of this gray demonic bird.

Because the gray demon bird's size increased too much, its divine power became fragile.

If a substantial attack is launched, it is highly likely to damage its divine essence, thereby triggering the Five-Colored Aurora Lake's prohibition and resulting in its annihilation.

"Chihiro!"

Venerable Mieyun recognized the existence of this Mengwan Demon Bird and looked somewhat wary.

Among the cosmic overlords, Venerable Annihilation is relatively ordinary.

This Venerable Qianhui is one of the top ten strongest members of the Mengwan Demon Bird lineage, far stronger than ordinary cosmic overlords.

"This is troublesome, Star Sword. With Thousand Radiance blocking our way, it's really inconvenient to force our way in."

Yu Duan looked at Venerable Qianhui, his eyes flickering slightly.

"Then let's go to the second peak!"

Yu Duan suddenly accelerated to the limit, heading straight for the second majestic mountain peak.

At the same time, within Yu Duan's body, the World Lord-level Origin Pearl, which had been completely integrated into the body of the Ci'an Clan, emerged, enveloped by layers of divine power.

If someone were to use their ethereal divine power to intrude upon and probe Yu Duan's divine body, they would discover the existence of this Origin Pearl.

"Want to go to the second peak? Impossible!"

Venerable Qianhui immediately used teleportation, and his figure once again blocked Yu Duan's path.

Yu Duan seemed to have no time to react, and before he could slow down, he crashed into Venerable Qianhui's body like a meteor traveling at near the speed of light.

Boom!

A surge of divine power emanated from Venerable Qianhui's body, instantly blasting Yu Duan's figure away.

"Star Sword King, you will not be able to climb any mountain today!"

"Buzz!"

At that moment, the multicolored aurora surging over the treasure land suddenly intensified.

Just as Venerable Qianhui was laughing heartily, a sealing force surged from the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, directly locking onto Venerable Qianhui. "No, impossible!"

Venerable Qianhui's expression changed drastically, and immediately following behind were rivers of five-colored aurora light, tens of thousands of miles thick, rushing down.

This terrifying river of aurora, as it fell, frantically condensed, forming countless arrows that would slay the gods!

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh…”

The endless, dazzling aurora arrows instantly engulfed the figure of Venerable Thousand Radiance, as if pierced by ten thousand arrows, annihilating this cosmic overlord into nothingness in an instant.

All defensive armor and protective treasures were completely annihilated, serving no purpose whatsoever.

"This……"

Venerable Mieyun stared at Yu Duan in astonishment.

In his perception, Yu Duan's aura remained unchanged, still at its peak.

"Star Sword, how did you do that?"

Venerable Mieyun couldn't help but ask.

"Didn't you see? Venerable Qianhui injured me with his divine power, causing me serious injuries, which was judged as an attack."

As Yu Duan spoke, he rubbed his temples. The Origin Pearl had absorbed some of the vibrations that had been weakened countless times by the layers of the divine body, making Yu Duan feel a little uncomfortable.

However, it's not a big problem; as long as there's enough energy, it can recover quickly.

Venerable Mieyun was dumbfounded, as Yu Duan's divine body and aura were clearly undamaged: "Huh?"

"Let's go, don't waste time."

As Yu Duan spoke, he immediately flew back towards the first mountain peak.

Seeing this, Venerable Mieyun followed after him with a puzzled expression.

"No, get out of here!"

"Don't go near that Star Sword King!"

"..."

Immediately, the numerous alien races who had just witnessed Yu Duan's 'fake accident' that killed Venerable Qianhui hurriedly used various means to avoid him, not daring to approach him at all.

Although they didn't know how Yu Duan did it, the Five-Colored Aurora Lake must have confirmed that Yu Duan had suffered substantial damage to his divine body or soul, otherwise it would have been impossible for it to be triggered.

"Shh!"

At the summit of the first peak, Yu Duan's figure landed on the mountain. He stood there for a while without making a sound.

"It seems I haven't met the conditions for triggering this first treasure."

Yu Duan smiled and looked at Venerable Mieyun beside him.

Venerable Mieyun laughed and said, "It's normal. No one knows what the requirements are for this treasure. Not triggering it doesn't mean that Star Sword's talent is insufficient."

"Let's go, to the second peak!"

Immediately, Yu Duan and Venerable Mieyun began their sweeping through the 108 most precious treasure sites, starting from the first peak.

Wherever Yu Duan went, many inheritors of other races hurriedly avoided him, fearing that they would run into him.

The second, the third... A moment later, Yu Duan's figure landed on the ninth mountain peak.

Just as Yu Duan's figure landed on the summit of this ninth highest mountain, the entire mountain began to tremble violently.

"Rumble..."

The dull rumble instantly drew the attention of countless creatures within the treasure trove.

"The Ninth Treasure, it's the Ninth Treasure!"

"Who is it that has triggered the emergence of the Ninth Treasure!"

"..."

The 108 most precious peaks in the Treasure Land are almost all treasures buried by beings at the level of cosmic lords.

The treasures left behind by such beings are mostly precious treasures, or at the very least, the most exquisite and valuable treasures, whose value is not much lower than that of supreme treasures.

The ninth treasure, ranking among the top ten of the 108 most precious treasures, must be a supreme treasure, and not just any ordinary one!

"Wow!"

Above the treasure land, the once-dormant lake of five-colored aurora has revived once more.

Brilliant, colorful rivers cascaded down, enveloping the entire Ninth Peak and forming a protective barrier.

Following closely behind, almost all the inheritors who remained on the ninth peak were teleported away, leaving only the one who triggered the emergence of the treasure.

"It wasn't me after all! Quick, see who hasn't been teleported out!"

"Star Sword King, it's the Hongmeng Star Sword King! He wasn't teleported out; I saw him land on the ninth peak with my own eyes!"

……

At this moment, the ninth peak, which was shrouded in a five-colored barrier, trembled violently.

Then, under Yu Duan's gaze, a deep abyss split open directly in the center of the mountain peak.

"call out!"

A beam of silvery-white light shot out from the abyss and landed in front of Yu Duan, revealing a silvery-white ring that shimmered with starlight.

With a thought, Yu Duan released a wisp of spiritual power, leaving his spiritual imprint on the world ring.

"Buzz!"

Instantly, the world ring trembled and easily recognized it as its owner.

Yu Duan's perception also successfully penetrated into this world ring, which was a vast wasteland.

In the center of the wasteland, a mountain peak about ten thousand miles high floats, its entire body shimmering with faint starlight.

The summit of this mountain was carved into the shape of a dragon's head with its mouth wide open, and inside that mouth was a majestic gateway.

"What kind of treasure is this...?"

Yu Duan could not accurately judge from appearance, and then a wisp of mental power spread out, easily penetrating into the mountain peak and imprinting a spiritual mark.

"Om..."

A mysterious message entered Duan's consciousness.

"Mount Guangshen, a supreme treasure of the palace type..."

The information is brief, containing only the name and some descriptions of its effects.

This is a palace-type treasure. Although its defensive power cannot compare with that of a high-grade treasure, its sealing ability is equivalent to that of a high-grade sealing treasure.

Therefore, in terms of value, it is absolutely comparable to the most precious treasures.

As long as the palace cannot be destroyed, it is immune to all physical attacks and its soul attacks are greatly weakened.

At the same time, there is an independent world inside this mountain. Once someone is sealed and enters this world, even a being at the level of a universe master may not be able to escape.

The Lord of the Universe can tear apart and destroy ordinary artifacts, but this does not include palace-type artifacts.

In the primordial universe, there were few cosmic lords capable of shattering ordinary palaces and treasures, and even then, it was not an easy task. It required countless consecutive bombardments of a single point to break it.

As for high-level palace-type treasures, they are equivalent to invincible material defenses in the primordial universe, and no one can break through them.

"Shh!"

Suddenly, the towering mountain range, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, shrank countless times and flowed directly into Yu Duan's brow.

At the same time, a voice rang in Yu Duan's ear.

"I am the Lord of Light, born to master the secrets of time!"

"The future world lord, if you wish to obtain my treasure, you will need a will comparable to that of a cosmic sovereign and the ability to create an ultimate secret technique!"

"Haha, the difficulty is indeed too high, but if someone can do this, then they are a true genius and will not disgrace the sacred mountain that I carved with my own hands."

"Those who come after... remember, the one who bestowed this treasure upon you is the strongest life form born from the great universe!"
