The Nine Secrets of Swallowing the Stars Combined

Chapter 121 The Flower of Thunder and Nightmare, The Realm of Time

Seeing the three-eyed creature's expression, as if it had been choked half to death by his words, Yuri remained expressionless, but was extremely nervous inside, fearing that the creature might actually kill him in a fit of rage.

Fortunately, the three-eyed creature only glared at him hatefully and did not make a move.

In fact, after being lonely for billions of years, the three-eyed creature had finally found an alien race with whom he could communicate and chat, so he would not easily kill Yuri now.

Next, under the manipulation of Ba Qi, Yuri continued to communicate with the three-eyed creature and finally succeeded in extracting information from it, obtaining a lot of key information.

In fact, the reason why things went so smoothly was mainly because the three-eyed creature was certain that Yuri was completely under his control and could not leave this cosmic secret realm, nor could he contact the outside world. Therefore, he told him many secrets without any reservations.

Inside the Black Tomb Hall.

"I see." Ba Qi put his hands behind his back, his eyes gleaming.

The three-eyed creature was a former immortal god of the Thunder Nightmare clan. Its strength was average; it was only at the Marquis level of immortality and was quite inconspicuous.

Because it is inconspicuous, even if it disappears, it will not attract the attention of the demon race and the mechanical race.

Therefore, in the final moments before the annihilation of their race, one of the race's cosmic overlords entrusted him with an extremely important task.

"The Time Realm!"

"Thunder Nightmare Flower!"

Ba Qi muttered to himself, a look of intense longing on his face.

The Thunder Nightmare Flower is a treasure that only the Thunder Nightmare Clan can cultivate in the universe. After consuming it, one can not only greatly enhance their talent in the laws of lightning, but also significantly improve their soul consciousness power, and even allow their soul attacks to be imbued with a trace of the essence of lightning, greatly enhancing their killing power!

It is no exaggeration to say that the Thunder Nightmare Flower is as precious as a priceless treasure to masters of soul illusion magic!

Of course, such treasures are extremely difficult to cultivate.

Throughout the entire history of the Thunder Nightmare clan, fewer than thirty Thunder Nightmare Flowers have been successfully conceived.

Moreover, the gestation period is extremely long, measured in tens of thousands of epochs, so another treasure is needed to assist in its creation: the Time Dimension.

"Let a Marquis-level Immortal carry the seed of the Thunder Nightmare Flower and hide in this secret cosmic realm. Once other survivors of the Thunder Nightmare Clan arrive, we can use the Time Realm to accelerate time a thousandfold, speeding up the gestation of the Thunder Nightmare Flower!" Ba Qi's lips curled up slightly.

"The metal map can both guide you to this secret realm of the universe and serve as the key to unlocking it."

"However, the swamp vortex power unleashed when the passage is opened is enough to obliterate a Universe Venerable and shatter ordinary treasure palaces. Only the Thunder Nightmare Clan, carrying a specific token, can save their lives."

Clearly, the three-eyed creature was just one of many contingency plans the Thunder Nightmare clan devised before their extermination.

His only responsibility here is to guard the Nightmare Flower. His ultimate goal is to wait for other members of his race who possess the map and the token to come and find him.

There are other arrangements as well. For example, there are people specifically responsible for cultivating geniuses. Only when a sufficiently outstanding descendant of the Thunder Nightmare Clan appears will they come here to search for the three-eyed creature and obtain the Thunder Nightmare Flower.

"Having guarded it for billions of years, it actually resisted the temptation and did not cultivate and consume the Thunder Nightmare Flower. Instead, it waited for its own kind to find it, intending to leave this treasure to a worthy and talented descendant." Looking at the three-eyed creature in the virtual image in mid-air, Ba Qi couldn't help but feel a trace of admiration.

According to the three-eyed creature's previous words, this cosmic secret realm is isolated from everything outside, and even the divine kingdom cannot be returned to. There is only one special passage that can return to the original universe, but it is a one-time use passage, and the passage will collapse after use.

If a powerful enemy manages to force its way through the swamp vortex and into this secret realm, the three-eyed creature will immediately use the passage to escape.

Having the means to cultivate it and the means to leave, yet the other party was able to resist the temptation of the Thunder Nightmare Flower and endure billions of years of solitude to guard this place. It is truly remarkable.

"That makes sense. Once he leaves here, this guy will only be able to hide in the Divine Kingdom from now on," Ba Qi muttered to himself. "With the power of the demon race and the mechanical race, if he shows even the slightest trace in the primordial universe, he could very well be killed directly by a super being and brought to the Divine Kingdom."

"In that case, it would be safer to hide in this secret realm."

Inside the silver-blue spaceship.

Yuri looked at the three-eyed creature. "Are you just going to keep waiting like this?"

"If you ask me, you might as well take this treasure and go and seek refuge with us humans. That way, our human race will surely protect your kind."

"To seek refuge with you humans?" The three-eyed creature scoffed upon hearing this. "None of the top races can be trusted!"

"But billions of years have passed, and none of your kind have come looking for you. Even the map key has fallen into my hands, and now it's lost in the depths of that swamp," Yuri continued. "Do you think there's any point in continuing to wait?"

"Fool, there's more than one map key." The three-eyed creature sneered. "Our race's cosmic overlord has long made arrangements. In the future, a peerless genius from my Thunder Nightmare lineage will surely find this place."

"Besides, if I leave, I can only hide in the divine kingdom and dare not enter the primordial universe. At that time, my people will be even less able to find me."

"The Thunder Nightmare Flower is the supreme treasure of our race. If our race can produce a genius powerhouse who can devour the Thunder Nightmare Flower, there is hope that we can lead our race to rise again!"

"Is that so? But even if another Universe Lord appears in your Thunder Nightmare Clan, so what?" Yuri shook his head. "If you dare to reveal even the slightest trace, the Demon Clan and the Machine Clan will definitely join forces to annihilate you at any cost!"

"Do you think your Thunder Nightmare clan can withstand two top-tier clans?"

"Or are you planning to remain hidden forever?"

Upon hearing this, the three-eyed creature fell silent.

There are some things he understands, but he's unwilling to think about them, unwilling to face them, and unwilling to accept them.

In the face of the demon race and the mechanical race, let alone one universe master, even two or three would be of little use.

The Thunder Nightmare Clan had been wiped out once by them, and the hatred between the two sides was irreconcilable. As long as any strong member of the Thunder Nightmare Clan appeared, even if he was at the level of a universe master, the demon race and the mechanical race would spare no effort to kill him, and there was no possibility of compromise.

"You know very well that the Thunder Nightmare Clan's desire to appear openly in the Primal Universe, relying on the Thunder Nightmare Flower and their so-called clan geniuses, is a complete joke."

"You are already locked in a life-or-death struggle with the two top races. Even if a universe master were to emerge, it would be impossible for them to compromise."

"The only way is to join a powerful force like ours, humans, who are not afraid of demons or mechanical races!" Yuri looked at the other person and repeated the words that Ba Qi had said to him in the Black Tomb Palace.

"That sounds nice, but what I have is nothing in the eyes of your human decision-makers. Why would you take us in for something like this?" the three-eyed creature sneered.

Although the Nightmare Flower is precious, it can only attract the level of a Universe Venerable at most, and has no value to the Lord of the Universe.

However, the cosmic sovereigns have very limited say in matters at the level of their respective races.

Even a single cosmic overlord or cosmic master wouldn't dare guarantee that humanity would take in the Thunder Nightmare Clan.

"Once I'm exposed and actively seek out you humans, I'll most likely just be killed and have my treasure stolen by one of your cosmic lords," the three-eyed creature sneered. "You humans have done this kind of thing quite a few times!"

"So, you have this idea, but you feel that you can't find a strong human who can give you a clear guarantee, right?" Yuri stared at the other person.

"Hmph, what, you think you can represent the human race and guarantee the protection of my Thunder Nightmare lineage?" the three-eyed creature sneered.
