Swallowing the Stars: Speedrun with Card Draws, Dominating Destiny

Chapter 177 Hunter? Prey?!

Bingyun's voice, like a sharp, icy blade, sliced ​​through the suffocating chill: "The human race must possess a forbidden method—using the flesh, blood, souls, and even the imprints of laws from powerful beings of other races as fuel—to refine heaven-defying elixirs!"

"Otherwise, there's simply no way to explain their large-scale and efficient exchange of alien corpses!"

"Even more inexplicable—why this Reversal Pill could specifically break through the barrier of a Universe Venerable!"

"hiss-!!!"

This time, everyone gasped in shock, their very souls reeling! A chilling aura clashed and intertwined within the domain!

Using the corpse of a venerable being to refine a breakthrough pill is already inconceivable!

So————

An even more terrifying and chilling thought, like a leech, burrowed into the depths of the consciousness of every venerable one:

Is it possible that humanity still uses the corpses of the Cosmic Overlords—or even the fallen Cosmic Lords—to refine the ultimate elixir that could help people break through to the level of Cosmic Lord?

The moment this thought arose, it was as if I had glimpsed the deepest taboo of the universe! A fear and tremor originating from the very instinct of life swept over my entire body! It was terrifying to think about! It sent chills down my spine!

"Alright!" The Ice Cloud Overlord's icy will suddenly pressed down, forcibly dispelling the unsettling and terrifying associations and the pervasive chill!

"No matter how bizarre or taboo the methods of humanity may be—"

"No matter how chilling the origin of this precious elixir may be—"

"These things—are none of our concern!"

His icy blue mist domain, covering hundreds of thousands of kilometers, suddenly tightened and condensed, radiating an even colder and sharper killing intent: "There is only one thing we need to do!"

The Ice Cloud Overlord's will, like a drawn icy sword, pointed towards the area deep within where energy fluctuations were abnormal: "While the war continues and the alien powerhouses are still fighting—"

"Seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity offered by humanity!"

"hunting!"

"At all costs!"

"Hunt down enough Venerable One corpses!"

"For our race—exchange for the key to a higher realm—the Rewinding Pill!"

"As for whose blood is stained with this key—"

His voice was icy cold, carrying the cruel reality of the universe's survival laws: "Does it matter?!"

"Yes!"

Within the Ice Cloud Realm, icy energy is flowing in an orderly fashion, accumulating power for the next hunt.

Sudden-

"Patriarch!" The Ice Peak Venerable's sharp, icy mental fluctuations exploded with barely suppressed joy. "Urgent notification from the virtual universe network! High-intensity energy reaction detected in star field 236.5886.129!"

Target Identification – Demon Clan Venerable Squad!

Number of members: Four!

Peak energy levels: The highest is at the intermediate level, and the other three are at the ordinary level!

Feature match: Smoky Bear Clan!

"Hiss—" Venerable Cangxuan's thoughts were filled with a chilling astonishment, "This virtual universe of humanity—is truly terrifying! How vast is the battlefield star field? The energy fluctuations of a small team can be captured, analyzed, and locked onto in an instant, and almost simultaneously pushed to the consciousness of all the powerful members of the human camp?! This kind of intelligence control power—it's practically like a cosmic eye!"

The Ice Cloud Overlord's reaction was the most direct! His icy blue mist domain, covering 100,000 kilometers, suddenly contracted and condensed, emanating a chilling and deadly aura!

"Prey has appeared! Weak and feeble! We can capture it easily!"

"Full speed ahead! Seal off the space! Kill them!"

"Delay may lead to unforeseen consequences!!!"

Buzz!

The Ice Cloud Domain instantly transformed into a streak of extreme cold light that tore through the void! The laws of space were forcibly distorted and folded! A distance of over ten thousand light-years was compressed into a mere instant by the Ice Cloud Overlord's all-out teleportation!

The next instant, a chilling wave silently swept across the target star system!

"Snap—!"

The invisible spatial blockade, like the hardest ice cage, instantly froze this void completely! Even the human King-level squad that was frantically fleeing in the distance and the four ferocious roaring Venerables of the Smoke Bear Clan who were chasing after them were all frozen in place by this sudden confinement!

"Roar?! Who?!" The leading mid-level Venerable of the Smoke Bear Clan was terrified. Its massive bear body struggled desperately, but it was as if it were stuck in the thickest glue in the universe, and its movements became extremely sluggish! An unprecedented sense of deadly crisis seized its heart!

No warning! No negotiation!

Only the purest, soul-freezing killing intent!

The instant the icy cloud domain descended, "Ice Edge - Ten Thousand Cuts!"

"Icy rain, bone-chilling cold!"

"Frost, eternal silence and decay!"

The icy shouts from the seven Venerables of the Ice Cloud Clan seemed to merge into one! Countless attacks containing the primordial Ice Soul Laws, like a torrential polar storm, instantly engulfed the four Venerables of the Smoke Bear Clan!

Interspersed among these were several terrifying, chilling lights, driven by the Ice Cloud Overlord, radiating the pressure of supreme treasure laws!

"Cosmic Overlord?!"

The leader of the Smoke Bear Clan let out a desperate roar!

The divine shield on its body groaned in unbearable pain the moment it came into contact with the first wave of cold air, cracking inch by inch! Faced with the personal attack of a hegemon-level being and the siege of seven Venerables, even escape became a luxury!

"Ice Cloud Clan! You lowly, audacious race! How dare you attack and kill the great demon race! My clan's overlord will tear you to pieces—ah—!!" The roar of another Smoke Bear Clan Venerable was interrupted by a supreme treasure, an ice shard, that pierced through the void, and his divine body was instantly frozen and shattered!

The Ice Cloud Overlord remained expressionless, his Ice Cloud Domain operating at full power, transforming this star field into a death zone of absolute zero! He and his seven subordinates coordinated perfectly, their attacks resembling a precisely functioning killing machine, giving their opponents no chance to breathe or call for help!

Their only goal is to achieve a swift victory!

It wasn't fear of the Smoke Bear Clan's retaliation, but rather worry—

Other "hunters" who smell the blood will swarm in to fight for their loot!

Under the overwhelming power and the meticulously planned spatial blockade, the four fierce Smoke Bear Clan Venerables could only hold out for half a day!

Their roars turned into wails, and under the continuous bombardment of extreme cold and the laws of supreme treasures, their divine bodies shattered like ice sculptures struck by a heavy hammer, finally breaking apart! They transformed into four relatively intact fragments of the Venerable's corpse, frozen within the icy barrier!

"It's done!" Venerable Iceblade was invigorated and immediately manipulated his divine power to collect the frozen corpse of the Smoke Bear.

"Quickly! Clean up the battlefield and leave immediately!" Venerable Cangxuan urged, and the Ice Cloud Domain began to shrink inward in preparation for withdrawal.

But at this very moment!!!

"Buzz—!!!"

Three spatial fluctuations, far more violent and filled with an aura of destruction and corruption than the Ice Cloud Domain, tore through the outer spatial blockade set up by the Ice Cloud Domain without warning, like three burning black meteors, and descended fiercely over this star field where the killing had just ended!

Prison Clan!

Moreover, they were three super-strong members of the Prison Clan, radiating overwhelming domineering pressure!
