Swallowing the Stars: Speedrun with Card Draws, Dominating Destiny

Chapter 175 The Primitive Universe Shakes

"To do this—overturn the very structure of this primordial universe!!"

"The three top-tier clans? Ha!"

"As long as we don't directly attack their core territory, and don't provoke those high and mighty cosmic lords—"

"Within the rules of this extraterritorial battlefield, we fight based on strength and compete for opportunities according to our abilities—"

"What's there to be afraid of?!"

The primordial universe, the territory of the Northern Frontier Alliance, the Qinghua Secret Realm.

This ancient, secret realm, comprised of more than ten vast continents each over a light-year in diameter, is densely populated like a galaxy, and has nurtured countless powerful individuals. Deep within the core of one of these continents lies a majestic temple that has remained silent for millennia.

"Buzz—"

An ancient, profound aura, as if sealed for countless ages, slowly awakened.

On the throne in the center of the temple, a figure slowly opened its enormous eyes, which were like solidified lava.

This was a majestic being with the head of a lion and the body of a human! His entire body was covered in fur as deep as night, his muscles bulging like ancient divine mountains. Even just sitting there, he exuded a heavy, oppressive aura that distorted space itself! He was none other than the one who had once shaken the battlefields beyond the realms, the one who rivaled even the most formidable warriors...

King Yan also has an ancient existence—"Venerable Lion-Walking"!

His eyes, weathered by time and having seen the rise and fall of the universe, were now fixed on the brief yet earth-shattering announcement on the virtual screen in front of him.

"A Reincarnation Pill at the level of a Cosmic Venerable —"

"Increase the probability of achieving the highest rank—or even—help a Venerable break through their bottleneck?!"

For the first time in countless eons, the breathing of the Lion-Walking Venerable became heavy!

He experienced life-and-death battles in the secret realms of the universe, ventured into the Chaos City to comprehend the laws, and even perished completely in a near-death experience, only to be resurrected by the Lord of the Universe of his race at a great cost—all of this was in pursuit of that faint hope of breaking through to the intermediate Universe Venerable!

However, his potential was exhausted, and his path forward was blocked! In despair, he returned to the secret realm to teach the younger generation, his heart as dry as a well.

When the Three-Patterned Rejuvenating Pill was first introduced, he glanced at it but was not tempted. It was merely a sweet treat prepared for the title of King.

But at this moment—

"Four patterns —"

Within the chest of the Lion-Walking Venerable, it was as if a dormant star had been rekindled! The blood that had been dormant for billions of years began to boil!

"My path—is not broken yet!"

"This 'Retrograde Pill'—perhaps—is the final key to breaking the shackles!"

Even if the hope is slim—it's worth risking your life for!

He suddenly stood up!

"Boom—!!"

The entire temple trembled violently under the immense aura he unconsciously emitted! In his molten lava eyes, flames that could incinerate everything ignited!

"Extraterritorial Battlefield —"

"I, 'Lion,' am back!"

The radiance of the divine kingdom instantly enveloped his massive body!

The outer perimeter of the Ancestral God Sect lies the Golden Crow Secret Land.

Here flows golden lava, like liquid stars, its scorching heat enough to incinerate the stars. This is atop a majestic mountain constructed of obsidian.

"Zheng—!"

""

A clear, melodious sound, like the cry of a golden crow, resounded through the void!

A massive battle blade, over three meters long and flowing with dark gold, its blade crackling with destructive lightning, was steadily drawn from a large hand covered in ornate black arm armor! Wherever the blade pointed, space itself was silently annihilated!

The owner of the sword was a tall figure shrouded in menacing black battle armor, with only a pair of cold, sharp eyes that gleamed with a noble purple light peeking out from the gap under his helmet!

The Forbidden City Venerable! A High-Level Cosmic Venerable! His aura is in no way inferior to that of the Fiery Venerable of the human race!

His gaze swept across the virtual screen in front of him, finally settling on the announcement.

"Four Patterns Tracing Back to the Elixir —"

A cold voice came from beneath the mask, carrying an undeniable decisiveness.

"My son 'Blazing Flame' has the opportunity to break through to the Venerable realm—"

"It can't be said—"

"We'll have to trade the heads of those Zerg, Demon, and Mechanical Race venerables for them!"

The peripheral members of the Ancestral God Cult have a transcendent status and are not overly bound by the cult's rules.

They gathered here in pursuit of a higher realm of power.

At this moment, the key to a higher realm lies in that bloody battlefield beyond the realm!

A notice!

Like the ultimate catalyst thrown into the primordial universe!

It ignited an ambition that had been dormant for millennia and awakened a colossal beast lurking in the abyss!

Countless silent old monsters like Venerable Lionwalker, top powerhouses like Venerable Forbidden City who protect their offspring, and many more lone wolves and alien giants stuck at their bottlenecks and yearning for a breakthrough—their gazes, like billions of cold cosmic rays, pierced through countless star fields and focused on that extraterrestrial battlefield burning with war and flowing with blood and gold!

Under the Northern Frontier Alliance and the Prison Clan, the fears of countless powerful clans were completely crushed by greed! Without hesitation, they used their divine kingdoms to teleport and piloted spaceships, like moths drawn to a flame, or sharks that smelled blood, surging headlong and recklessly toward the blood-soaked furnace beyond human territory!

A battle ignited by Lin Yi himself and driven by the Four-Pattern Reversal Pill, sweeping across the entire primordial universe and involving billions of powerful races—

The hunting frenzy has begun!

The landscape of the decisive battle will be dramatically altered as a result!

Over the next ten years, just as Lin Yi had envisioned, the eastern, central, and western fronts saw the human race clashing with the insectoid race, the demon race, and...

The situation on the Mech race's three lanes was rapidly changing.

On the central battlefield, more than 60 cosmic overlords of the demon race, leading more than 5000 cosmic venerables, were suppressing and killing the human race.

But at some point, the demon race's rear territory was attacked one after another. They initially thought it was the human race's last-ditch effort, so they followed suit and sent out squads of cosmic overlords to patrol and hunt.

Initially, the results were good.

They eliminated many immortal kings and cosmic venerables.

But gradually, things started to go wrong.

These powerful individuals who joined the human race were simply insane. Seeing their demon race venerables was like seeing a supreme treasure that had been revealed to the world—the outer battlefield, the core of the original Seventh War Zone—the Yanji Continent's radiating star field.

The once majestic altar, a landmark of the battlefield, had long since been reduced to drifting star debris in the fierce clash of the superpowers. Cold cosmic dust mixed with the lingering embers of divine power formed perpetual death nebulae. Shattered warship wrecks, frozen divine blood crystals, and even massive, twisted alien corpses floated silently like tombstones in a cosmic graveyard—

In this completely shattered void ruin.

On the edge of this star field filled with destruction and death, a "nebula" with a diameter of over 100,000 kilometers, constantly swirling with icy blue mist, is moving silently.

This is not a natural nebula, but the combined divine domain of the Ice Cloud Overlord and his seven Ice Cloud Clan Venerables!
