Swallowing the Stars: Recruiting Apprentices and Getting Cash Back

Chapter 112 Demon Race Universe Venerable

"Big bird, I want to follow you," the little bird said.

"Join me?" The three-legged golden crow thought for a moment and decided that it was a good idea. It could help him learn about this demon king and this divine kingdom.

"What race are you? What is your name? Which immortal divine kingdom is this?" the three-legged golden crow asked in succession.

"My name is Firebird, and I belong to the Flamebird Clan. As for which immortal divine kingdom you belong to, you don't know. So how did you get in?" Firebird asked in confusion.

"Hmm? I'm the one asking you!" the three-legged golden crow said unhappily.

"Yes, yes, this divine kingdom belongs to the great Fire King," the firebird hurriedly replied.

King of Blazing Fire?

The three-legged golden crow hurriedly contacted the true form of Nuolan Mountain, asking him to find information about the Demon King of Blazing Fire.

Nuolanshan immediately searched through the virtual universe and quickly found information about the Fire King.

The Fiery King, an immortal king of the Flame Bird Clan, is taught by Golden Wing, the Cosmic Venerable of the Golden-Winged Roc Clan, one of the eighteen royal clans of the demon race.

He harbors a deep-seated hatred for the Immortal Bona, the Queen of the Mechanical Race, and places great emphasis on nurturing the next generation, making him a renowned teacher among the demon race.

There is a great treasure—a secret innate technique—

The information is incredibly detailed, which shows that the Fiery King is ancient and powerful, almost comparable to the invincible True King.

"I understand. I need to heal. You may leave." After saying this, the three-legged golden crow plunged into the volcanic lava.

Although the temperature of magma is much lower than that of stars, the high temperature does indeed help the three-legged golden crow recover from its injuries.

"I won't leave; I'll stay here and protect you." In order to stay with the three-legged golden crow, the firebird not only didn't leave but also stood on the crater to protect it.

The three-legged golden crow didn't drive it away, after all, having such a free doorkeeper would indeed save him a lot of trouble.

In addition to using magma to heal its injuries, the Three-Legged Golden Crow also ate a Fruit of Life and consumed the Rock Divine Water, and its body is recovering at an alarming rate.

About an hour later, the three-legged golden crow soared into the sky and flew directly towards the sky above this divine kingdom.

10,000 meters, 20,000 meters, 30,000 meters — 90,000 meters.

With a loud bang, the three-legged golden crow seemed to have hit the ceiling. Not only did it fail to break out of the divine kingdom, but it was also pushed back.

"Break!" The three-legged golden crow used its wings as blades to unleash the fourth move of the Nine Forms of Creation.

boom!

Although a loud bang was heard, the barrier of the divine kingdom remained intact.

This is the divine kingdom of the Fiery King, a peak-level powerhouse. To forcibly break through the barrier of his divine kingdom, one must be a Universe Venerable, except for some freaks who possess supreme treasures.

However, it is clear that the Three-Legged Golden Crow has not yet reached that level. He is only at the level of an Immortal Military Lord, and there is still a long way to go before he can be a King-level Immortal.

"Big bird, wait for me." The firebird arrived late.

In fact, the firebird was already close behind when the three-legged golden crow took off into the sky, but the three-legged golden crow was too fast for the firebird to keep up.

"Go back." The three-legged golden crow glanced at the firebird and turned back to the volcano.

"Huh?" Firebird felt wronged. "I just got here and you're leaving already? Are you kidding me?"

However, the three-legged golden crow ignored him, used its rainbow transformation technique, and returned to the volcano. The firebird had no choice but to follow.

"It seems we can only take it one step at a time. The divine kingdom is indeed as indestructible as the legends say." The three-legged golden crow sank itself into the magma and remained silent.

He had considered finding a place to hide within the divine kingdom, but he knew it would be futile. This was the divine kingdom of the Fiery King, completely under his control. He was the very essence of Heaven, and with a single thought, the Three-Legged Golden Crow would be exposed.

After waiting for a full month, the Fiery King reappeared before the Three-Legged Golden Crow. Judging from his somewhat weak aura, he must not have gained the upper hand in his battle with Bona.

"Golden Crow pays respects to King of Blazing Fire, and thanks King of Blazing Fire for saving my life." No matter what, he had to pretend to be grateful.

Seeing the three-legged golden crow's grateful expression, the Fiery King was quite satisfied and laughed, "You're not bad, kid. Tell me, which race are you from? How come you're mixed up with humans?"

The three-legged golden crow said, half-truthfully, "Reporting to the Fiery King, my inherited memories are incomplete. I only remember being born on a star, and from the moment I became conscious, I have always had a set of precious treasures by my side."

When I first became a cosmic-level being, I met a human beast tamer. He was very kind to me, and we naturally became friends. Later, when he was coming to the extraterrestrial battlefield, I went with him.

"The loss of inherited memories suggests that your parents died suddenly and did not have time to pass on their memories to you. Your aptitude is excellent, and even with the help of the treasure, your current combat strength is no weaker than that of an Immortal Army Lord."

"I'll take you to see my teacher. I think he'll like you, and maybe I'll even have another junior brother," said the Fiery King.

He was actually lying, because he had just noticed the problem from the three-legged golden crow's words.

The three-legged golden crow is definitely not a demon, but a celestial behemoth. In fact, the demon race has always wanted to bring the celestial behemoth under its control, because in a sense, the celestial behemoth is the same as the demon race.

First of all, they share the same origin and both originally belonged to the same lineage of demon beasts, but they later split apart.

Secondly, both are beast-like and emphasize lineage.

If the Three-Legged Golden Crow could be absorbed into the demon race, it might become a breakthrough, allowing us to gradually and bit by bit reclassify the giant beasts of the starry sky as demon beasts.

At that time, the three strongest beings in the universe will be the demon beasts, making them the number one force in the original universe. Unifying the universe and destroying the mechanical race will be a piece of cake.

Based on this, the Fiery King did not expose the Three-Legged Golden Crow, but instead took him to see his teacher, the Golden-Winged Venerable.

The demon race does not develop technology extensively, and their lair is the most primitive kind. Even the residence of the Universe Venerable is just a simple palace built in a cave. The three-legged golden crow sees their life as very simple.

As they ventured deeper into the palace, the three-legged golden crow couldn't help but feel tense.

He wondered if, with the power of a Universe Venerable, someone were to deliberately investigate, they might be able to see through his true nature.

But he had no choice; the Fiery King was right next to him, and he couldn't escape. He could only grit his teeth and follow, hoping for a miracle.

"Greetings, Master. This is the little fellow I told you about, the Golden Crow." King Liehuo introduced the three-legged Golden Crow beside him to Golden Wing.

"Golden Crow pays respects to Venerable Golden Wing." The three-legged Golden Crow bowed respectfully to the Golden Wing, its heart pounding so hard it felt like it was about to leap out of its chest.

boom!

A powerful pressure swept over, rendering the three-legged golden crow unable to move or even self-destruct. Then, a powerful soul force seeped in.

Without a doubt, Venerable Golden Wing was performing a soul search on the Three-Legged Golden Crow, as he needed to eliminate the possibility that the Three-Legged Golden Crow was a spy.

"Yes, no problem, just as you guessed," Jin Yi said to Liehuo Wang. Only the two of them could understand the implication behind his words.

Yes, that's right, the Golden Crow is a cosmic behemoth. Only a bunch of cosmic street urchins like the cosmic behemoths would abandon their child on a star and then leave behind a treasure.

Unfortunately, this child has lost his inherited memories and doesn't know many things.

But it's fortunate that this is the case, otherwise he wouldn't have claimed to be a demon and been picked up by the Fiery King.

To be honest, the three-legged golden crow was completely bewildered. It had definitely searched its memories; how could there be no problem? Its soul's origin was human! This was an insurmountable problem!

System, that's right, the system must have fabricated a false memory for me, so much so that even a cosmic venerable cannot see through it.

The Three-Legged Golden Crow guessed correctly, because that's the only explanation. The system is just that powerful; not even a cosmic lord, let alone a cosmic sovereign, could see through the flaws in the system's fabricated memories—it's absolutely flawless.

"Golden Crow, would you be willing to become my disciple?" Venerable Golden Wing asked.
