Swallowing the Stars: Analyzing All Things

(Bonus chapter for reader "Where Are You Dreaming Again" who donated! Thank you for your support!)

Inside the Fenglin Palace.

In the empty hall, the two-meter-diameter orb of light had dissipated, leaving Lin Yan standing there all alone.

The treasure is now all in our possession.

This harvest completely exceeded his expectations, including various treasures worth thousands of Chaos Units, the extremely precious spatial secret technique "Void Instant Shadow Manual", and the mysterious Time Feather.

Especially the last two items.

The secrets of space and the Feather of Time—any one of them, if it were to fall into the wrong hands, would be enough to drive ordinary immortal gods mad.

Lin Yan didn't even dare to imagine what would happen if the outside world knew that these two items were in his hands, in the hands of a small universe-level being.

It's no use him running away anywhere.

No matter which cosmic realm he hides in, no matter how deep he hides, if the immortal gods are truly determined to find him, he will have nowhere to hide.

So the most important thing now is to find a way to leave this place, to leave the world of Fenglin, the master of this world.

There were at least a thousand people guarding the entrance to the main hall.

Although they couldn't get in, they could wait for the people inside the main hall to come out, and as time passed, a steady stream of people poured into the Windscale World from the outside.

The news had already spread.

The Wind Scale Palace was born, with three keys and two people allowed to enter.

This news immediately caused a huge uproar. Those forces that were still observing and those powerful individuals who were waiting for the entrance to expand further could no longer sit still.

Powerful spaceships continued to depart from all corners of Ningxuan Kingdom, converging on Jielin Star and surging towards Fenglin World.

"besides."

"If a Domain Lord level expert were to enter..."

According to predictions from the Virtual Universe Company's intelligence analysis, the entrance aperture to the Windscale World will expand within a few years to accommodate the passage of Domain Lords.

Domain owner.

Lin Yan's strength is among the top in the universe level.

He could completely ignore ordinary ninth-tier universe-level opponents with the illusionary power unleashed by the Mirage Feather, and he was even confident that he could suppress the core members of those major forces in Ningxuan Kingdom.

But facing the domain lord...

Hang!

The gap between a Domain Lord and a Universe-level being is a qualitative change in the level of life, a generational difference in all aspects, and the combined power of their full strength is hundreds or thousands of times greater in numerical terms.

"Let's get out of the palace first."

Lin Yan dared not wait here for too long, so he took out a suit of armor from his world ring.

It was a suit of armor entirely black, one of the spoils he brought back from the battlefield beyond the realm. Its grade wasn't high, only third tier, but it had one advantage—

It can cover the whole body.

From head to toe, from fingertips to toes, not an inch of skin was exposed.

but.

A face is easy to conceal, but the breath of life is hard to hide.

Each cultivator's life force is unique, just like an ordinary person's fingerprints or irises; it cannot be forged or changed.

If you encounter someone who practices special secret techniques, it is easy to lock onto a person's life force from a distance.

"This is the only risk we have."

Lin Yan took a deep breath. Treasures that can conceal one's life force are extremely precious throughout the entire primordial universe. Even the Lord of the Wind Scale Realm does not possess such a treasure.

suddenly.

Just as Lin Yan was about to leave, a black figure rushed in from outside the light screen.

He was dressed in black armor, with a handsome face and a faint golden light surrounding him. He held a long sword in his right hand, and when he passed through the surface of the light barrier, it created a violent ripple.

The seventeenth prince of Ningxuan Kingdom.

Tanyuan.

Tan Yuan's gaze swept across the main hall.

The entire palace was empty, with nothing but decorations that had lost their meaning.

His gaze finally fell on Lin Yan, who was covered in armor from head to toe, making it impossible to see his face clearly.

"Hand over the items."

Tan Yuan stared coldly at Lin Yan. "The treasures of the Wind Scale Palace are not something a casual martial artist like you can handle. Hand them over, and I can pretend nothing happened. Don't hand them over—"

"Then you should die first!"

Lin Yan disappeared, then instantly appeared in front of him, the ice blade formed from the mirage feathers slicing directly at his neck.

Wow, that was fast.

Tan Yuan's pupils constricted slightly.

However, his reaction was extremely fast. His long sword drew an arc in the air and stabbed directly at Lin Yan's throat.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Tan Yuan's breath hitched slightly.

The black-armored figure in front of him disappeared, vanishing directly from his sight and from his perception.

At the same time, the surrounding world instantly changed, replaced by an endless ice field, and the sky was a deathly gray-white.

Above the icy plains, a colossal beast looked down at him. The beast was as large as a mountain, its body covered in dark blue scales, and its cold, vertical pupils reflected his face.

"roar--"

The roar shook the entire ice field.

The sound exploded in his mind, blurring Tan Yuan's consciousness. He tried to raise his sword, but found that his body was completely unresponsive. He tried to retreat, but found that his feet were frozen on the ice.

"Bang!"

The illusion dissipated.

Tan Yuan's body was suddenly sent flying backward.

Crimson blood gushed from the wound on his right chest, tracing a shocking arc in the air.

His body passed through the light barrier, flew out of the Wind Scale Palace, and crashed heavily onto the plain outside, kicking up a cloud of gravel and dust.

"He's still alive?"

Lin Yan glanced at it, but didn't finish it off. His figure darted out from the side, transforming into a black streak of light, and flew towards the horizon.

……

On the plains.

Everyone saw this.

They had just seen Tan Yuan triumphantly rush into the Wind Scale Palace, and then fly out again in the blink of an eye. They also saw a black streak of light rush out from the side of the Wind Scale Palace and fly in one direction.

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness!"

Two royal guards rushed out from the crowd, one on each side, and grabbed Tan Yuan's arms, trying to help him up from the ground.

"Get out of here!"

Tan Yuan abruptly shook off their hands. He gritted his teeth, shakily got up from the ground, and gasped for breath.

"A bunch of idiots!"

He roared, "What are you all standing there for? All the treasure is on him!"

"boom!"

The crowd erupted in an instant.

Tan Yuan's roar instantly stirred up a huge wave of reactions, and everyone stopped paying attention to the disheveled seventeenth prince.

One by one they soared into the sky.

They locked onto the receding black streak of light from afar.

Tan Yuan also wanted to chase after him, but he was seriously injured. He had only flown less than a hundred miles when his breathing suddenly became disordered and he fell from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground.

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness!"

Two guards rushed over again, trying to help him up once more.

"Don't help me up!"

"You two, hurry and go after them!"

Tan Yuan pushed the two away, feeling his extremely poor condition. His face was deathly pale, his lips trembled, but he could no longer utter a word.

one move.

He couldn't even catch a single move from his opponent.
