Swallowing the Stars: Speedrun with Card Draws, Dominating Destiny

Chapter 178 Turning the Tide!

Leading the group was a colossal giant, ten thousand meters tall, composed entirely of rock flowing with dark golden magma. His body was engulfed in dark golden flames that seemed to emanate from the depths of hell, scorching and distorting the surrounding void! This was none other than the infamous overlord of the Prison Clan—"Prison Gold"!

Beside him hovered two slightly smaller figures, but equally terrifying in aura. They possessed twelve pairs of corrupted wings composed of pure dark energy, the edges of which flowed with evil runes that corroded space. Their cold compound eyes, like vortexes of abyss, were fixed intently on the Ice Cloud Clan below, whose battle had just ended!

"Hahaha—!!! Hahahaha!!!"

Yu Jin's maniacal laughter, like the scraping of metal, shook the frozen star fragments to their core! His enormous eyes, burning with dark golden flames, greedily swept over the four demon venerable corpses that the Ice Cloud Clan was about to collect, his voice filled with undeniable domineering arrogance: "Ice Cloud Clan scum! Not bad luck, you've managed to pick up four 'pieces of fat meat' in one go!"

With a casual flick of his massive rocky arm, dark golden flames erupted: "Unfortunately—a big appetite can easily lead to disaster!"

"Those who see it get a share! Leave at least two corpses behind—I'm in a good mood, so I'll let you get lost!"

"Otherwise—hehehehe—"

"presumptuous!!"

Ice Peak Venerable was furious, and the ice crystal clouds surged violently! The other party actually regarded the fruits of their hard-won hunt as "easy prey", and their words were extremely insulting!

"This is prey that my Northern Frontier Alliance hunted with its own skills! You scum of the Prison Clan, if you want to steal it—then let's fight to the death!" A resolute will erupted from the deep blue clouds of Venerable Cangxuan, and the ice-type laws instantly condensed into billions of ice spears, pointing directly at the three overlords of the Prison Clan!

"A fight to the death?" Yu Jin seemed to have heard a cosmic joke. A ferocious arc appeared on his massive, lava-flowing face, and dark golden flames surged violently, the terrifying heat causing the very space to groan! He looked down at the Ice Peak Venerable with eyes piercing through the icy cloud domain, as if surveying an ant. "A mere High-Level Venerable—does he even dare to bark before me, Yu Jin?! Come out here! I'll crush your soul first!"

"snort!"

Ice Cloud Overlord's icy blue domain suddenly expanded, like a protective frost behemoth, instantly blocking Ice Blade Venerable's path and colliding fiercely with Hell Gold's dark gold fire domain! A piercing sound of energy annihilation tore through the void!

"Prison Gold! Don't push your luck!" The Ice Cloud Overlord's voice was like the clash of ancient ice, carrying a chilling killing intent. "This is the spoils of war of my Ice Cloud Clan! If you want to take it—come and get it with your own strength!"

Two immense, domineering pressures clashed like invisible behemoths in the starry sky, causing the space within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles to crack inch by inch like a shattered mirror!

Yu Jin's burning giant eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light, as if weighing the cost of forcibly starting a war.

After a moment, he let out a deep, rumbling growl, and the flames subsided slightly: "Fine! For your sake, Ice Cloud—"

His massive, rocky finger pointed at one of the largest smoke bear carcasses: "Leave one! Get out of here now!"

"Otherwise—I wouldn't mind adding a few more ice blocks to this frigid starfield!"

The same hunting, looting, and confrontations are playing out like a plague in the vast battlefields where humans and demons, humans and machine races, and humans and insect races meet!

Human race's frontline command center.

The commanders-in-chief in charge of the eastern front, "Barbarian Overlord," the commanders-in-chief of the central front, "Undying Venerable," and the commanders-in-chief of the western front, "Ancestral Witch Overlord," received battlefield situation analysis reports from the core AI of the virtual universe at almost the same time.

Looking at the incredibly clear power comparison curve on the screen, the solemnity and exhaustion on the faces of the three human commanders were gradually replaced by an unbelievable—astonishment and ecstasy!

The pressure has been greatly reduced!

The combined forces of the three races, which had been pounding the human defenses like a raging sea, were now visibly weakening their offensive! Weakening! Weakening even more!

Those energy markers that were once densely packed and exuded a terrifying aura, representing alien cosmic overlords and high-ranking beings, are now dimming and disappearing in large swaths on the star map!

The defensive line, which was originally on the verge of collapse and needed to be held by a divine fortress, has now miraculously stabilized!

In some local battles, the Human Alliance, relying on strong fortresses and with the support of a large number of "allies," launched a tentative counter-offensive!

"What...what exactly happened?" The Ancestral Witch Overlord muttered to himself as he watched the crimson block representing the power of the demon race on the star map rapidly shrink.

"It's the Reversal Pill!" The Undying Venerable's shadowy figure uttered a hoarse, excited voice. "It's the Four-Pattern Reversal Pill led by Commander Lin Yi! It has ignited the entire primordial universe! The powerful beings of billions of races have gone mad! They're like cosmic hyenas smelling blood, frantically tearing apart the Venerable forces of the three alien races!"

"Lin Yi, no, Lin Yi the Overlord, single-handedly turned the tide of this war!" The Savage Overlord's voice was filled with amazement, and his way of addressing Lin Yi subtly changed.

"Look here!" The savage overlord suddenly pointed to a star field, an area that had once been ravaged by the mechanical race's army, but was now submerged by countless points of light representing the "neutral faction" of hunters. "The mechanical race's Venerable Legion—is being besieged as a moving 'treasure chest'! Their numerical advantage—has vanished!"

Yes!

A dramatic reversal!

The three dominant races (the Demon Race, the Insect Race, and the Mechanical Race), with their vast number of cosmic venerables and immortal kings that they are so proud of, appear so insignificant and laughable in the face of the combined power of billions of races from the primordial universe attracted by the Reversal Pill!

A single powerful clan may not be as formidable as a top-tier clan, but when countless powerful clans, lone strongmen, and reclusive old monsters swarm into the battlefield for the same goal (the corpse of a Venerable One) —

The combined power was enough to form a cosmic torrent that could engulf everything!

It is no exaggeration to say that the number of cosmic overlords active on the extraterrestrial battlefield has easily exceeded a thousand! The number of cosmic venerables has reached hundreds of thousands or even millions! This completely overwhelms the total number of the three alien races deployed to the battlefield!

In just over a decade!

The battlefield landscape underwent a dramatic and earth-shattering change!

The three cosmic lords who once reigned supreme and dominated the battlefield—

Now, under the watchful eyes of countless greedy men, he has fallen from being a formidable master of the battlefield—

It has transformed into ————

One by one, they walked, radiating an alluring glow—

"A living treasure!"

To the hunters, they were no longer enemies, but rather—the essential currency for exchanging for the Path to the End! They were the ultimate ticket to a higher realm!

Hunt the Venerable Ones, seize corpses, and exchange them for Rejuvenation Pills!

This has become the new and only rule on the battlefield outside the domain!

The legions of the three most powerful clans are being mercilessly devoured by this overwhelming torrent driven by greed!
