Swallowing the Stars: Speedrun with Card Draws, Dominating Destiny

Chapter 197 The Nine Swords Master's Request

This feeling—just like himself—has become a walking "chosen one"!

"A thousand talismans in hand—"

Lin Yi's thoughts swept over the galaxy of talismans, and his confidence was as vast as the galaxy itself!

"My divine body has now broken through the 100,000-kilometer limit! The vast divine power bestowed by my perfect genetic level is far more resilient than others of the same level!"

'

"Combined with top-tier cosmic overlord-level combat power, and the nascent Wanbao River's integrated offense and defense capabilities—"

"Even if the strongest being in the universe were to personally arrive—with its power suppressed by the primordial universe—"

"It's absolutely impossible—to annihilate me completely in an instant!"

"As long as it's not annihilated instantly—"

"Whether it's the 'Control Talisman' twisting the rules, the 'Shield Void Talisman' withstanding a fatal blow, or the 'Reincarnation Talisman' breaking through the void to escape—"

"I have enough time to react—to escape calmly!"

"not to mention----"

Lin Yi's gaze seemed to pierce through layers of void, landing on the deepest part of his divine kingdom—the Netherworld, churning with boundless bloodlust.

Above a sea of ​​blood!

Within the sea of ​​blood, a figure whose aura was the same as his, yet even colder and more bloodthirsty, appeared and disappeared!

Even if the talismans are destroyed—and the divine body is annihilated—

"As long as the sea of ​​blood never dries up—"

"My Netherworld Avatar—is my eternal—unyielding anchor!"

"The primordial universe—no one can truly kill me!"

This confidence made Lin Yi fearless in the face of any assassination attempt!

However, his vigilance had risen to an unprecedented level!

In the past, he was just a "prodigy" with amazing potential.

In the eyes of the three races, even if they grow up, they will at most add another universe master to the human race. Although this makes them wary, it is not enough to shake the fundamental structure of their races.

But now—

"The Elixir of Reversal — The Elixir of Life —"

These two forbidden items, created by his own hands, have already overturned the rules of war!

They acted like the ultimate catalyst thrown into the primordial universe, driving billions of races into a frenzy for the pill! They turned the three races' esteemed cosmic overlords into walking treasure chests! The vast legions of Venerable Ones were torn apart by greedy hunters!

This terrifying ability, capable of shaking the very fabric of the universe and potentially even burying the foundations of the three races in the future—

This had already made Lin Yi a cosmic-level calamity that the three top races had to eliminate at all costs!

"As long as I dare to take one step out of the initial universe—"

Lin Yi's gaze was as cold as frozen earth: "The Lord of the Universe personally launched an attack—I'm not surprised at all!"

"Furthermore—at the cost of an immense price—we request the strongest being in the lone universe—to directly invade our human territory—"

'

"This possibility—is by no means—unfounded worry!"

The period of hibernation is over.

The cards are all on the table.

The murderous intent—is like the Sword of Damocles hanging over the Milky Way!

And he, Lin Yi—

Just as I was about to—voluntarily step into this storm!

He is no longer afraid of killing, but he also doesn't want to be assassinated.

Since he knew the alien race would assassinate him, then—"I might as well devise a scheme against them."

One day later, Taiqing's clone appeared outside the initial universe.

It transformed into the likeness of Lin Yi.

In the vast sea of ​​stars, a figure dressed in a white robe shimmering with starlight leisurely traverses the sky.

He appeared to be strolling leisurely, but his aura was completely undisguised; he was none other than Taiqing's clone, who was posing as "Lin Yi"!

The purpose of this trip is not to actually visit friends, but to lay a tempting "bait" for the hunters hiding in the endless darkness!

The message, like a stone thrown into a deep cosmic pool, was instantly transmitted through the dark web of the three races lurking in human territory to its target: Lin Yi!

Status: Alone, without the Lord of the Universe by my side!

Action Assessment: A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Extremely high risk! Unimaginable rewards!

A series of chilling commands were generated in the darkness, and assassination squads, whose bloodthirsty fangs had long been honed, began to silently approach the coordinates like cosmic hyenas that had smelled blood!

"Lin Yi, an avatar of Taiqing," wandered leisurely through a secret realm in the core area of ​​the virtual universe. "Lin Yi!"

A clear call, carrying complex emotions, interrupted Lin Yi's "stroll" as Taiqing's clone.

He looked in the direction of the sound.

A figure carrying an ancient longsword and wearing nine-star armor stepped out from the ripples in the void. It was none other than the long-unseen Nine Swords Venerable!

A hint of surprise flashed in Taiqing's clone's eyes at just the right moment.

He knew that ever since his own strength had risen to the level of a cosmic overlord, this Nine Swords Venerable, with whom he had once had a good relationship, had consciously distanced himself due to the pride and arrogance that belonged to a high-ranking Venerable, and was no longer willing to take the initiative to curry favor with him.

Sometimes, the gap in social status is harder to bridge than the Milky Way.

"Nine Swords." The "Lin Yi" form of Taiqing's clone instantly blossomed with a gentle and sincere smile, taking the initiative to greet him, as if the invisible barrier had never existed.

When Lin Yi acted, did he ever care about such trivial matters?

If you really think about it, with the resources he has now, in the entire primordial universe, who is worthy of his attention?

"Lin Yi." The Nine Swords Venerable forced a smile, his gaze sweeping over the starry sky not far behind Lin Yi—two figures transformed into streaks of light and flew over as well.

Venerable Fire Eclipse and the King of Qianwu Kingdom are arriving together.

"Erosion Fire, Dry Witch, you've come too."

"Hahaha!" The Qianwu Kingdom's king laughed loudly, with a hint of teasing that seemed to see through his old friend's thoughts. "Nine Swords, you busy man, coming to see Lin Yi today—could it be that you're also eyeing that Four-Pattern Reversal Pill?"

Nine Swords Venerable's expression froze instantly, as if his thoughts had been exposed.

That's right!

That's exactly why he came!

Last time, his beloved general "Barbarian Axe" underwent a transformation of potential thanks to the Bodhi leaf given to him by Lin Yi. After accumulating strength, he broke through to the level of a Universe Venerable in one fell swoop!

He is now considered one of the best among the beginner Venerables!

If only I could obtain another four-patterned Reversal Pill —

"Just help Manfu break through to the intermediate Venerable realm! In a few epochs, the Primordial Star will open—with a warrior like him by my side, my chances of seizing the treasure will greatly increase! What does a little face matter in front of someone like Lin Yi?" The Nine Swords Venerable was torn between his own desires and his pride, his pride being fiercely suppressed by his thirst for power! He gritted his teeth, his gaze becoming incredibly resolute, and went straight to the point with Lin Yi: "Lin Yi, to be honest, I have shamelessly come to ask for a Reversal Pill!" His speech quickened, carrying a barely perceptible urgency, "Manfu, thanks to your Bodhi Leaf blessing, has already broken through to the Venerable realm. Because of his solid foundation during his King-level conferment, his combat power is outstanding even among the initial Venerable realm! If I were fortunate enough to obtain another four-pattern Reversal Pill—breaking through to the intermediate Venerable realm would be extremely certain!"

"The Four-Patterned Reversal Pill?" Taiqing's clone, Lin Yi, feigned surprise, his brows furrowing slightly as if he were weighing the options.

Seeing this, the Nine Swords Venerable assumed Lin Yi was in a difficult position and quickly added, "I know this pill is extremely precious! It's worth a fortune!"

He took a deep breath, as if making a momentous decision, "Upon my return from the Primordial Star, I will offer three top-tier treasures as a reward! This promise can be made into a contract, notarized by the Virtual Universe System! Unless I, the Nine Swords, betray my race—I will absolutely not dare to delay in the slightest!"

His words were resolute, and his eyes held a desperate sincerity.
