This is Swallowed Star, not Resident Evil.

Chapter 412 Lord of the Cave, Seizing the Strange Wood

On the planet Yibao, which is tens of millions of kilometers in diameter, the giant beast-like Yibao Star Lord sits on the surface of the star, his aura pressing down on space and time, but it is still distorted and concealed by the power of this enormous Yibao Star.

"By bypassing the judgment of the original universe's attack power, it is truly not easy. I have exhausted all my efforts over the years and have only barely made a slight breakthrough."

Ye Yang's eyes were filled with helplessness.

With his current level of cultivation, the strength of his consciousness and will, and his mental processing ability, it is not difficult for him to simultaneously manipulate 1 divine bodies of the universe with a thousand times the genetic power to perform the strongest fusion secret technique.

Its combined power is enough to break through the eighth rank! It can definitely reach the ninth rank, and it's even possible that it can rival the top of the ninth rank!

After all, the combined power of hundreds of universe lords approaching the eighth rank is close to that of the combined forces.

Unfortunately, the primordial universe is subject to the laws governing its operation, which cannot be bypassed even by using swarm tactics or mech swarm tactics.

Ye Yang also gained more insights and ideas after stepping out of the Golden Immortal Path. Over the years, he tried one thing after another and finally found this gap.

Furthermore, this possibility cannot be grasped using the current methods within the world; the power of other world systems must be employed!

The higher the world level and the more complete the law system, the more difficult it becomes to create a law-based environment, that is, to simulate or evolve the Dao.

Therefore, even if one barely manages to break through the limitations of the primordial universe, the breakthrough is minimal, only reaching the seventh level of power. Moreover, it not only consumes a great deal of one's true self, but also cannot be sustained.

Ye Yang now only has this much power to strike once every thousand years.

But that's enough.

"You all, remain hidden for now. Hear my command: once you reveal yourselves, launch a coordinated attack and eliminate them in one fell swoop!"

Ye Yang gave instructions to the hundreds of Zerg Universe Venerables on the Strange Treasure Star.

Now, only these cosmic venerables can offer him any slight assistance.

"Yes, Master!"

"Your will—"

All the venerable ones and the Queen Mother responded respectfully.

Ahead lies the Mysterious Realm of Yuan.

The Mysterious Realm of Yuan'ao is a secret realm in a corner of the primordial universe, the territory of the solitary Lord of Yuan'ao.

Within this secret realm lie 12 vast continents, ranging in size from 1 light-year in diameter to nearly 8 light-years in diameter, inhabited by countless alien races, constantly embroiled in war and slaughter.

The hundreds of alien races on these continents were all people plundered from all over the universe by the Lord of Yuan'ao to fill them. These 12 continents are like 12 giant Gu jars, which cultivate powerful individuals through bloody battles and killings.

Those who become immortal or become world lords with talent will be enslaved by the souls of stronger beings, and the cosmic venerables of the 12 continents are the soul slaves of the supreme god, Lord Yuan'ao!

Lord Yuan'ao—who at some point became the soul servant of Zhenjia King, a powerful figure from the first reincarnation era of the Cosmic Sea.

King Zhenjia, Lord Haolei, and Ancestral God Qiuyan devised a conspiracy to lure powerful beings from the Cosmic Sea into the depths of the Qingfeng Realm to harm them. Therefore, they used Lord Yuanao, a servant, to take a piece of strange wood belonging to Lord Haolei into the Primordial Universe.

This attracted the rejection of the primordial universe's rules, leading to intervention from various parties vying for the precious wood. During this time, the Lord of Yuan'ao threw out a map of the Tilted Peak Realm, a portion of which was obtained by the future Luo Feng and contributed to the human race.

As a result, the founder of the Giant Axe became the one harmed by the three Lords of Hao Lei Star, and thus perished.

This is the trajectory of this world's future destiny.

The Giant Axe Founder has excellent talent and is a very important combat force in the Cosmic Sea stage. Ye Yang doesn't want him to die so inexplicably.

Therefore, this potential hazard must be dealt with in advance!

"However, simply killing the Lord of Yuan'ao is not enough. To achieve their goal, those three powerhouses from the first era of reincarnation will definitely use other means."

"That map still needs to be circulated—"

Ye Yang sneered, "We only extracted a portion of the map from the Peak Realm, allowing the Demon Race, Insect Race, and Mechanical Race to unexpectedly obtain it. This also allowed various forces in the Cosmic Sea, such as the most powerful Divine Eye Race from the first era of reincarnation, to also obtain this map."

"Let's see if those three guys who betrayed the Cosmic Sea can withstand this large group of the universe's strongest beings."

Soon, Ye Yang arrived near the Mysterious Realm of Na Yuan.

The second Golden Horn clone immediately flew out and teleported into it.

"First, I'll lure the Lord of Yuan'ao out to fight. My primary objective this time is to kill him and obtain the map. My secondary objective is to seize the rare wood, whose value is second only to the most powerful treasure!"

"First, use the second Golden Horn clone in conjunction with a million-kilometer-long exotic treasure star to force him to use the Qimu. If he still doesn't use it, it means that the plan hasn't started yet, so we can only wait until about 1 years after the birth of the original star before we can take action."

In Ye Yang's memory, the original text described that "Yuan Ao had returned with the strange object a long time ago," but he didn't know how long "a long time" meant.

For the ruler of the universe, perhaps tens of thousands of epochs would be considered a long time, but it could also be less than an epoch; it's hard to say.

brush!

A colossal body suddenly appeared above the continent of Mogo.

Instantly, a powerful aura spread, completely taking over space and time; the terrifying power instantly obliterated the immortals below.

The Venerable One completely suppressed them.

Silently, all the powerful figures under the command of the Lord of Yuan'ao vanished into nothingness.

"Gao O!"

"Gao O!"

"Gao O!"

'

'

A powerful will resounded and echoed through time and space: "Get out here!"

The entire Mysterious Realm was filled with this violent, unrestrained voice of will, which lingered for a long time.

"Good heavens—what is that?! How dare it address the supreme god Kyoto Kyoto so directly!"

"The Supreme God—the Supreme God is dead!"

"All the gods are dead—"

"What level of power does that person possess? To provoke a supreme god like that, could he possibly have power comparable to a supreme god?"

On the continent below, countless beings, some filled with fear, some with awe, and some with longing, gazed at the colossal monster that stood over 90,000 kilometers tall.

Within the spatial interlayer corresponding to the spacetime of the Mysterious Realm of Yuan, amidst endless spatial fragments, stands a colossal and seemingly boundless divine kingdom.

In the center of this colossal continent, high above the divine realm, lies a mountain-like giant silently within a scorching black lake.

Whoosh!

He suddenly sat up in shock, and on his square head, a large eye was filled with doubt and surprise.

"The Golden Horned Beast? Who is it?"

"Not one of those from the Starry Sky Beast Alliance I remember—could it be the legendary Star Lord of Extraordinary Treasures?"

Lord of the Oku was very puzzled.

Since accepting his master's mission, he has returned to the primordial universe and remained in hiding, waiting for the aura of the wondrous divine wood in his hands to permeate him.

In this way, according to the master's plan, it will attract the Ancestral God Cult to investigate, thereby exposing the existence of the divine tree, and many powerful beings from various races in the primordial universe will descend to compete for this divine tree!

At that time, he will throw out the prepared silk thread diagram to save his life, hand over the divine tree, and then escape from the primordial universe to return to his master's side.

The plan has only just begun, and the aura of the wondrous divine tree has only just begun to permeate him. It is estimated that it will take another two or three eras for it to be fully permeated.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't have attracted the attention of powerful figures from the Ancestral God Sect so quickly.

Moreover, the person who came this time seems to be the same Yibao Star Lord who recently caused chaos among the demon race and the insect race. This Yibao Star Lord is strict and mysterious, but he is neither a member of the Ancestral God Cult nor should he have any grudge against the Lord of Yuan'ao. Why did he come to kill us?

"Hmph, whatever. Daring to cause trouble on my territory, even if you're powerful and have many tricks up your sleeve, you'll pay the price!"

"He couldn't even seriously injure one of the Zerg's universe lords, which shows that his strength is not great. He only wins because of his ability to create clones and his soul will."

"With the Divine Tree in my hands, I can kill any clone he creates!"

Lord Kagaku, looking furious, stormed out of the divine kingdom.

Above the continent of Mogao, as a colossal figure bathed in endless flames appeared, a terrifying pressure rivaled that of the giant beast, making it difficult for many creatures on the continent below to withstand.

"The Lord of the Extraordinary Treasures?"

Lord Yuan Ao glanced at the distant floating treasure star. Just now, he had only guessed based on the images and messages transmitted by the soul servant before its death, but now he was completely certain.

"I, Yuan'ao, have no grudge against you, yet you dare kill my servant! Lord of the Strange Treasures, you'd better give me an explanation—those with clans fear you, but I do not!"

The Lord of Yuan'ao stared at the Lord of the Strange Treasures with an extremely cold gaze through his single eye.

"Hehehehe————"

The enormous beast suddenly chuckled softly, a laugh filled with sorrow and desolation: "No grudges, no enmity?"

The Star Lord of the Strange Treasures' icy eyes were filled with madness: "You killed Jie Ji, and you dare to tell me you have no grudge against me?!"

Lord of the Cave was taken aback.

Jieji?

With the memory and thinking speed of the Lord of the Universe, he found the relevant information from his vast memory in almost an instant.

He was a Lord of the Universe from an ordinary race who was born hundreds of thousands of epochs ago. He had only broken through to the level of Lord of the Universe for about ten epochs when he was killed by Lord of Yuan'ao in a battle.

That was a very long time ago; only a few hundred billion epochs later, the Lord of Yuan'ao no longer paid much attention to it.

Now it seems—that the Lord of Jieji actually has a past connection with this Lord of the Strange Treasure Star?

"Back then, I was hunted down by the demon race. After changing my identity, I also provoked the insect race. I only have two clone forms and have nowhere to go in the entire universe. It was Jie Ji who secretly protected me and hid me, which is why I have survived to this day."

"But—he had just broken through to the level of a Universe Lord! Yet he died at your hands!"

"You! You deserve to die!"

The Star Lord of the Strange Treasures spoke with suppressed hatred, sounding completely genuine.

"Hmph, that guy was so weak, yet he dared to try and steal from me. He deserved to die!"

Lord of the Cave, however, sneered disdainfully.

He laughed, not to mock the magnanimous ruler, but because he was pleased.

With the Star Lord's early intervention, he wouldn't have had to wait two or three eras for the divine tree's aura to be completely absorbed.

Using the rare and divine wood as bait was entirely his master's way of justifying this conspiracy and setting up this trap in a plausible way!

The same principle applies now: by engaging in a great battle with the Star Lord of this extraordinary treasure, the wondrous wood will appear in the world.

This way, the Lord of the Cave can complete the task given by his master sooner.

"You—go to hell!"

The alien planet has taken action.

The Lord of Yuan'ao immediately made his move, transforming into a stream of flames. At the same time, endless flames spread through the space, creating a terrifying pressure that heavily impacted Ye Yang's divine body.

The Lord of Yuan'ao possesses a top-tier domain-class treasure, the "Flame Sand Cup," as well as several other supreme treasures, including the pinnacle treasure armor. Even the Lord of Chaos City couldn't kill him!

Even the strongest being in the universe would find it difficult to kill him in the primordial universe.

Because the Lord of the Oku is a special life form, his divine body is also very large.

"Roar~~~"

The Lord of Yuan'ao held a dark red circular shield in one hand and a huge long-handled mace in the other. The mace burned with power, turning the space into an endless stream of particles. He arrived in front of Ye Yang almost instantly.

Ye Yang also waved his hand to unleash the most powerful secret technique, "Golden Palace Heaven." With his current level of skill, he was even more adept at it, and his technique was exquisite.

When the two collided, their power annihilated each other, resulting in a truly astonishing collision.

Surprisingly, it seemed to be a close contest.

However, the Lord of Yuan'ao possesses a powerful treasure weapon, which not only amplifies the attack power but also mitigates more of the recoil impact.

The treasures Ye Yang possessed were all plundered from the cosmic overlords of the demon and insect races. The strongest of them was only a high-grade treasure, which didn't provide much of an boost. He relied almost entirely on his own secret techniques and cultivation level.

In comparison, Ye Yang actually consumed more divine power!

But that doesn't matter. Ye Yang carries a golden world ring with thousands of mycelium planets, and he's not afraid of anyone when it comes to consuming them.

"Unfortunately, I lack a suitable treasure to aid my soul attacks. My Dao Treasure, the Three Lives Pearl, is too severely restricted by the rules of this level ten world, preventing it from displaying much of its power."

A thought flashed through Ye Yang's mind, and taking advantage of the brief gap between the two sides during their exchange of blows, he used the "Eternal Eye".

This innate secret technique, comparable to the strongest secret art of the Lord of the Universe, is specifically designed to target the soul and consciousness. In particular, it contains a mysterious application of the laws of time, causing the consciousness of the person affected to freeze and stagnate.

A gigantic, illusory eye looked down upon the Lord of Yuan'ao, its almost tangible gaze directly affecting every inch of his divine body, every microscopic life imprint on his form, penetrating deep into his soul and consciousness—

"Aaaaaah! Damn it! Break through!!!"

The Lord of Yuan'ao instantly sensed something was very wrong, and his consciousness and will immediately coalesced and struggled fiercely. As an ancient cosmic lord, his will was not weak.

So aside from a brief moment of slowed consciousness after being hit, she quickly broke free.

However, this brief moment was enough for the enemy to inflict some damage on his divine body.

"Huh? My divine body?" The Lord of Yuan'ao had just recovered from that powerful soul attack and was stunned when he felt his divine body again.

Because his divine body was not attacked or damaged in any way.

"What happened?"

Only then did he notice that a huge star was hurtling towards him from afar.

In the brief moment he was unaware, the binding force of the Flame Sand Cup, a treasure of the domain, dropped drastically, and the strange star, which had been suppressed to thousands of times the speed of light, returned to ten thousand times the speed of light.

They had already reached extremely close range.

And atop that enormous star, there were ten thousand Zerg warriors, each exuding an aura no less powerful than that of a god—all at the level of a cosmic lord.

By this time, they had all taken advantage of the brief moment before they had finished charging up their energy.

"Die."

Ye Yang watched all this calmly, joining forces with hundreds of soul-possessed insectoid venerables to unleash his unique combined attack technique.

Each of the soul vassals held a piece of weak foundation material, one ten-thousandth of which unfolded into a miniature omnidirectional domain, operating according to the program set by Ye Yang.

Ye Yang then deliberately allowed the consciousness and will of hundreds of soul-possessed beings to permeate the bodies of the 1 Zerg warrior gods.

This is tantamount to possession!

During this process, the consciousness and will of all the soul vassals and the Ye Yang mycelium clones hidden within the bodies of those Zerg warrior gods intertwined.

Of course, immortal gods are divine beings with divine bodies; their life imprints and souls are fused together within their divine power, making it impossible for them to possess another's body.

But Ye Yang's goal was not to have these Zerg warriors he created possessed; he only wanted this momentary effect. Even if he failed immediately afterward, he only needed this special state for this moment.

boom!

Faced with this combined attack manipulated by a mixture of wills, even the judgment mechanism of the original universe's operating rules was confused.

A small gap was slightly exposed.
