Swallowing the Stars: Analyzing All Things

Fenglin Mountain, the summit of the mountain.

The void was shrouded by a huge bluish-white light curtain, which was like a mirror standing between heaven and earth, with no top in sight and no edge in sight, as if it divided the whole world in two.

In the very center of the light screen, there are three small grooves arranged in a triangular pattern, each groove's size and shape perfectly matching the wind-scale stone.

In a corner of the mountain, Lin Yan stopped and quietly landed, his gaze falling on the plain in front of the mountain.

Thousands of people have already gathered there.

The emergence of the Wind Scale Palace caused a huge stir. The moment the three Wind Scale Stones were activated at the same time, a beam of light, bluish-white, pierced through the sky and could be clearly seen even from tens of thousands of miles away.

So, within a single day...

Upon learning of this commotion, powerful individuals quickly gathered here. Star-level and cosmic-level beings were densely scattered across the plain in front of the light screen, forming small groups and each occupying a section of the area.

Among them are several hundred people at the Hengxing level, most of whom were the explorers first sent in by various forces to explore. Their strength is the weakest among these people, but they are unwilling to give up this possible opportunity.

Nearly a hundred individuals at the cosmic level are the main force vying for this opportunity.

However, Lin Yan could clearly see that these cosmic-level beings came from different forces. Some wore uniform standard armor, some were lone wolves, and others were in groups, cooperating well with each other.

"Huh~"

"That's from the Blood Moon Pavilion..."

Looking into the distance, Lin Yan saw a group of people in blood-red standard battle armor firmly occupying the most advantageous position at the very front of the crowd, near the light screen.

There were more than thirty people at the cosmic level, and the leader was a cold-faced, slightly effeminate man with a hint of ferocity.

"The Blood Moon Tower has taken over this area."

Chi Xi surveyed his surroundings, his cold voice clearly reaching the ears of everyone present, "The entrance to the Wind Scale Palace is guarded by the Blood Moon Tower. Anyone who approaches without permission will be killed without mercy."

The words fell.

The plains erupted in chaos.

"On what grounds?" a burly man of cosmic level roared. "The Wind Scale Palace belongs to the Wind Scale Realm Lord, not to your Blood Moon Tower. Why should you just take it over as you please?"

"Exactly!" another voice rang out from the crowd. "We're all here for this opportunity. No matter how strong your Blood Moon Tower is, you can't kill us all, can you?"

The commotion among the crowd grew louder, and voices of discontent rose and fell. Although Blood Moon Tower was infamous throughout Ningxuan Kingdom, none of the hundreds of cosmic-level beings present were easily intimidated.

"On what grounds?"

Chi Xi's gaze swept coldly over them, a slight sneer playing on his lips. "Is it enough that we outnumber them and that Blood Moon Tower is the strongest?"

Is it enough?

Of course not.

No matter how strong the Blood Moon Tower is, there are only about thirty people gathered here. Although they are divided into small groups, their overall strength far exceeds that of the Blood Moon Tower.

However, each of them had their own concerns and dared not make the first move.

"Blood Moon Tower is quite imposing." Suddenly, a rough voice came from behind the crowd.

A burly giant flew in from afar, his arms bare, his skin bronze, and his armor bearing the emblem of a gray wolf's head.

Canglang Mountain.

One of the most powerful forces in Ningxuan Kingdom, with a long history of grudges and entanglements with Blood Moon Tower.

"You want to monopolize the Wind Scale Palace?"

The burly man walked to the front of the crowd, facing Chi Qi from a distance, his copper-bell-like eyes flashing with a defiant light.

"Iron Bones..."

Chi Xi narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice still calm, but with a hint of coldness, "Are you sure you want to interfere?"

"So what if you interfere?" Iron Bone grinned. "You think your Blood Moon Tower can control everything in Ningxuan Kingdom? If you're so capable, then kill all of us, thousands of us. If you're not—"

"Then get out of here!"

"Get out of here—"

The roars of thousands of people behind them merged into a deafening wave of sound that echoed across the plain.

Chi Xi's face turned extremely ugly, and his fingers tightened slightly. "Since you're courting death—"

"kill!!!"

However, before he could finish speaking, Tie Gu immediately took action.

The cosmic-level warriors from Canglang Mountain charged out first, followed by teams from other forces, even though they were unfamiliar with each other and were still secretly on guard.

But faced with the Blood Moon Tower as a stumbling block, everyone became a temporary ally.

"kill!"

"Kill these bastards!"

Although the Blood Moon Tower's people are elite, they can't fight against so many opponents, since each other's forces also have their own elites.

Chi Xi was entangled by Tie Gu, and the two fought fiercely in mid-air, with neither able to gain the upper hand for a time.

It was only because the World Lord's World suppressed it sufficiently that the entire Windscale Mountain would have been destroyed into pieces long ago under so many cosmic-level battles.

……

At this moment, on another part of the mountain peak.

Looking at the chaotic battlefield, Lin Yan transformed into a streak of light and headed directly towards the entrance of the Light Curtain Hall.

The light curtain is getting closer and closer.

However, some people shared his idea, wanting to take advantage of the chaos while everyone was fighting to sneak in and try to enter the Light Curtain Palace.

"Where did this nightmare rat come from?"

The voice was cold and arrogant, followed by a blood-red blade of light that cleaved the person at the front in two.

It was Chi Xi who made the move.

He broke free from Iron Bone during the entanglement and unleashed another blood-red blade of light, cleaving the people following closely behind into pieces.

"Akagi, you dare to daydream!"

Iron Bone charged forward with a wild laugh, and immediately became entangled with Red Owl.

Chi Xi's move deterred some people who wanted to take advantage of the chaos, but Lin Yan was not idle. He rushed to the light screen and directly pressed the two wind scale stones into the two corresponding grooves on the light screen.

"Buzz~"

"Buzz~"

The moment the two stones were embedded, the surface of the light screen suddenly lit up.

A bluish-white light surged outwards like a tide, illuminating the entire plain. Then, the light curtain slowly split open to the sides, revealing a passage leading into the depths.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Yan's figure disappeared into the passage and vanished in the light.

On the plains.

Everyone was stunned.

The chaotic battle had ceased at some point, and thousands of eyes were fixed on the open door and the vanished figure.

"he……"

"He went in?"

Someone muttered to themselves, their voice filled with disbelief.

"He has the key!" another person exclaimed suddenly. "He has Wind Scale Stones, and he has two!"

Before Lin Yan arrived, it wasn't that no one had tried, but without the key, it was impossible to open the palace gate. So even though they were stopped by the Blood Moon Tower, they weren't in any hurry.

Until the Blood Moon Tower was cleared out.

That's how they started the chaotic war.

Unexpectedly, someone possessed two Wind Scale Stones, which directly opened the entire palace gate.
