Swallowing the Stars: I Have a Primordial Dao Seed

The giant scorpion, an eighth-level Realm Lord, followed closely behind, its two enormous pincers opening and closing repeatedly, producing a crisp, metallic clanging sound.

The two giant scorpions, both at the seventh level of the Realm Lord, guarded the middle and left sides of the valley respectively, with earthen-yellow defensive runes appearing on their carapaces.

Meanwhile, the two giant scorpions, both at the sixth level of the Realm Lord realm, were waving their pincers, trying to block Mu Feng's Wind Spirit Blade.

Gao Tao was the first to engage, his Star Pattern Spear striking the poisonous needle of the ninth-tier World Lord giant scorpion.

Gao Tao was thrown into the air, and the rocky ground beneath the giant scorpion's feet cracked instantly under the immense pressure, with spiderweb-like cracks spreading thousands of meters away.

"Hah!" Kahn roared, his earth-elemental longsword slashing with immense force at the pincers of the eighth-tier world lord giant scorpion, sparks flying everywhere. The giant scorpion's pincers were incredibly hard; Kahn's full-force strike only left a white mark on them, and the impact left his arm numb.

On the other side, Yun Yan's flaming longsword had already slashed at the stinger of the seventh-tier world lord giant scorpion in front of him. The red flame blade light collided with the earth-yellow defensive runes, making a "sizzling" sound. The yellow venom on the stinger was evaporated by the flames, emitting a pungent, fishy smell.

Just as the battle reached its climax, a sudden change occurred! "Boom!" The ground beneath Yun Yan's feet suddenly exploded, and an even larger giant scorpion burst out from the ground.

This giant scorpion has a dark brown carapace, and its stinger is noticeably thicker than that of an ordinary eighth-level World Lord giant scorpion, clearly indicating that it has reached the peak of the eighth-level World Lord realm.

"Yun Yan, be careful!" Zhou Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted. With the ability to observe his surroundings, he sensed the danger and issued a warning almost the instant the giant scorpion appeared.

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yuan had already used the Myriad Transformations Secret Technique to his fullest extent, and thousands of illusory bodies that looked exactly like him were generated out of thin air.

The sixth-tier scorpion of the Realm Lord was instantly bewitched, unsure which illusory form to attack.

Zhou Yuan's true form darted out like a ghost, his Zhenkong Blade radiating a light that intertwined with earthy yellow and spatial laws.

"Suppressing Sky Slash!" The blade light pierced through the air, and the space seemed to freeze wherever it passed, fiercely slashing at the stinger of the giant scorpion at the peak of the eighth level of the Realm Lord.

Zhou Yuan originally intended to use this strike to force the giant scorpion back and buy Yun Yan time to escape, but he did not expect the giant scorpion's speed to far exceed his expectations—the poisonous needles, accompanied by a whistling wind, had already pierced Yun Yan's body fiercely.

With a crisp "snap!", Yun Yan's fifth-tier Force armor was instantly pierced by the poison needle, and the yellow venom instantly invaded his body.

Yun Yan's body exploded like a watermelon struck by a heavy hammer, splattering blood and internal organs all over the ground.

Fortunately, it didn't completely pierce the center, otherwise the huge poisonous stinger would have blown Yun Yan's entire body apart.

"Abandon the physical body, preserve the life core!" Gao Tao's voice rang out in the virtual universe channel. He had already reacted and was urgently transmitting his voice while resisting the attack of the peak World Lord giant scorpion.

Yun Yan still had a sliver of consciousness. Upon hearing Gao Tao's words, he endured the excruciating pain and his consciousness instantly sank into the life core in his head.

His head and body fell off, leaving only a complete head suspended in the air—his life core was hidden deep within the head. As long as the life core remained intact, he could use the life-giving treasures in the universe to reshape his body.

But the crisis was not over! The giant scorpion at the peak of the realm master suddenly swung its venomous tail and entangled Gao Tao, who wanted to come to the rescue.

The giant scorpion at the peak of the eighth level of the Realm Lord and another giant scorpion at the seventh level of the Realm Lord simultaneously changed direction, their tails flashing with a deadly cold light, and lashed out at Yun Yan's remaining head.

Having lost his physical body, Yun Yan had no ability to resist and could only let the opponent attack him.

"Suppressing Sky Slash!" Zhou Yuan swung his sword again, this time pouring all his primal force into it. The sword light was even more condensed than before, directly forcing the tails of the two giant scorpions to a stop.

At the same time, his figure darted to Yun Yan's head like lightning, and with a swift movement of his left hand, he scooped up the head and put it into his world ring.

"Retreat! Don't linger!" Gao Tao immediately gave the signal to retreat after seeing that Zhou Yuan had saved Yun Yan's life.

He knew that the enemy had suddenly acquired a giant scorpion at the peak of the eighth level of the Realm Lord, whose strength far exceeded his expectations. If the battle continued, there would only be casualties.

Upon receiving the retreat signal, the group immediately began their breakout attempt.

With his feet planted on the Cloud Disc, Mu Feng activated his mental power to the fullest extent, using the fundamental laws of wind to boost his speed to the extreme, transforming into a streak of azure light as he instantly rushed out of the valley.

After Zhou Yuan collected Yun Yan's head, he used the Myriad Transformations Secret Technique to create a large number of illusory bodies, which lured away a giant scorpion of the seventh level of the Realm Lord and a giant scorpion of the sixth level of the Realm Lord, while his main body quickly fled out of the valley.

Sorin then merged into the light and shadow once more, like a ghost, bypassing the giant scorpion's encirclement and disappearing into the depths of the forest.

Only Kahn, due to his large size and relatively slow speed, was entangled by the two giant scorpions, both at the eighth level of the Realm Lord.

The giant scorpion's pincers slammed incessantly, and the earth-yellow primordial laws surged forth like a tide. Kahn could only hold up his shield and struggle to maintain his balance, blood already trickling from the corner of his mouth.

"Kahn, go!" Upon seeing this, Gao Tao suddenly threw out the Star Pattern Spear in his hand. The metal elemental law on the tip of the spear erupted, forming a huge golden light wall that temporarily blocked the attack of the peak World Lord Giant Scorpion.

At the same time, he threw his E2-class spaceship out of the world ring. As soon as the giant spaceship, which was hundreds of meters long, appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of several giant scorpions.

"Clang clang clang!" Taking advantage of the giant scorpions' attention being drawn to the spaceship, Gao Tao instantly lit up the secret patterns on his Star Pattern Spear, and thousands of golden rays shot out from the spear tip, like a rainstorm, towards the two eighth-level World Lord giant scorpions that were entangled with Kahn.

The golden light pierced through the giant scorpion's carapace. Although it failed to kill it directly, it still caused them considerable pain, temporarily loosening their encirclement of Kahn.

"Go!" Gao Tao grabbed Kahn's arm, and the metal elemental law enveloped their bodies. They shot out of the valley like arrows.

The E2-class spaceship was surrounded by five world lord-level giant scorpions. The scorpions' pincers kept pounding against the spaceship's hull, making a deafening sound—clearly, the spaceship had no chance of escape and could only become a toy for the ferocious beasts.

The group fled the valley in a sorry state, and only after running for millions of kilometers and confirming that no ferocious beasts were chasing them did they stop in a dense forest.

Everyone wore expressions of shock, especially Zhou Yuan, whose world ring still contained Yun Yan's head. This was the first time someone had nearly lost their life in battle.

Gao Tao's face was even more gloomy. He looked at everyone and said in a low voice, "This time I was careless. I didn't expect there to be a giant scorpion at the peak of the eighth level of the Realm Lord hidden in the valley. How is Yun Yan?"

Zhou Yuan removed Yun Yan's head, noticing that the skin had begun to turn black and was still coated with a trace of venom. "The situation is not good. The venom has already invaded the area where the life core is located. We must use high-level recovery medicine immediately, otherwise the life core may be corroded."

"I have a fruit of life here, it can definitely save him." Mu Feng immediately took out a greenish-blue fruit and handed it over.

The shimmering green light made the entire forest vibrant with life, and the rich fragrance filled the air, intoxicating all who smelled it.
