Swallowing the Stars: My Comprehension is Beyond the Heavens!

Chapter 506 Danger in the Black Mist

On the outer edge of the black mist, Marquis Li Xiao, Marquis Bai Mu, and the Heavenly Sovereign temporarily set aside their battle.

They had now shaken off the Chaos Overlord-level beast and flew into the deep black mist, but they dared not go any further after entering.

They were also aware of the dangers lurking within this black mist, and the Chaos Ruler who perished there was even an acquaintance of the three Chaos Rulers.

"I never expected that guy in the mecha would actually escape into this black fog area!" Bai Mu Hou said through gritted teeth.

They thought that the Chaos Sovereign-level treasure would only be contested by one of the three of them, but unexpectedly, a Cheng Yaojin appeared out of nowhere and snatched the treasure away!

The three men, including Bai Muhou, were extremely angry and resentful.

But as they chased them here, their anger and resentment were somewhat dispelled by the fear stirred up by the black mist.

"Shall we go deeper?" Lord Li Xiao asked Lord Tian Hong.

Overlord Tianhong shook his head. "Overlord Yuxiu perished in this black mist back then. Since then, no overlord-level expert has entered the depths of the black mist. It would be unwise for us to rush in now."

In the heart of the Heavenly Lord, the plan to retreat had already been made.

After all, that Chaos Overlord-level treasure, whose effects were still unknown, was not worth risking their lives for.

Upon hearing Tianhong's words, Sovereign Li Xiao immediately understood his thoughts and was about to speak when Sovereign Baimu interrupted, "That kid not only obtained a Sovereign-level treasure, but he also possesses a supreme mecha treasure capable of unleashing Sovereign-level power! There are three of us, and he dared to break in; why shouldn't we?"

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Sovereign frowned and looked at the Hundred-Eyed Sovereign, saying, "Hundred-Eyed, is this a question of daring or not? The other party may not know the dangers of the black mist. It's like a newborn wild beast, lacking intelligence. Even if it encounters an existence stronger than itself, it will not feel afraid."

To put it in Earth terms, this means that Rorschach was like a newborn calf unaware of the dangers of the black mist, which is why he dared to venture into its depths.

However, the three Chaos Rulers were well aware of how dangerous the black mist was. Ruler Yu Xiu was much stronger than any of the three of them. He was already a Chaos Ruler at the ninth level when he entered the black mist, but he still perished there.

Of the three, the strongest was the Heavenly Sovereign, who had reached the fourth level of the realm.

As for the Hundred-Eyed Ruler and the Li Xiao Ruler, they are both Chaos Rulers at the Third Realm!

Even if the three of them joined forces, they might not be able to defeat Yu Xiu, the ruler of the ninth level. If they knew the danger deep in the black mist and still forced their way in, wouldn't that be like knowing there are tigers in the mountains but still heading towards them, putting themselves in danger?

Lord Li Xiao strongly agreed with Lord Tian Hong's words, especially since there was also Hundred-Eyed Marquis among the three of them. If Hundred-Eyed Marquis were any other Chaos Lord, Lord Li Xiao would have been willing to enter the depths of the black mist together.

But at this moment, the Lord Li Xiao was extremely unwilling to team up with the Hundred-Eyed Lord to venture into the depths of the black mist. Who knew if the Hundred-Eyed Lord would choose to stand by and watch coldly when he was in danger?

"Let's leave!"

Lord Li Xiao glanced at Lord Bai Mu, then spoke to Lord Tian Hong.

Although Sovereign Li Xiao also desperately desired the Sovereign-level treasures and mechs, she, who had lived for countless years, knew very well that no matter how good the treasures were, one had to be alive to enjoy them!

Otherwise, even if we chased them deep into the black fog and seized the treasures and mechs from Luo Xia, what good would it do?

If I die deep in the black fog, everything will be in vain!

As Bai Muhou watched Li Xiaohou and Tianhong Sovereign turn and leave, his face turned extremely gloomy. However, at that moment, an extremely terrifying energy fluctuation came from the depths of the black mist. Sensing this fluctuation, the three Chaos Sovereigns turned their heads in unison to look in the direction from which the fluctuation came—the endless, dark, and dense depths of the black mist!

"This is……"

Sovereign Li Xiao looked in astonishment toward the direction from which the energy fluctuation came. In her perception, the power of this energy fluctuation had already reached the level of her full-force attack—and this power was only perceived by her after being weakened by layers of black mist.

From this, one can imagine that deep within the black mist at its source, a fierce battle beyond her imagination must be unfolding.

"It seems that the guy in the mecha must have encountered danger in the black mist!" the Heavenly Sovereign guessed.

Sovereign Li Xiao exclaimed in astonishment, "We should be quite far away from them, yet we can still sense such terrifying energy fluctuations... It seems that the mecha that stole the Sovereign-level treasure is not as simple as it appears!"

Bai Muhou said with a gloomy expression, "At this moment, the guy wearing the mecha should be fighting against the entity in the black mist. As for whether it is the same entity that caused the death of Yu Xiu, it is still difficult to determine."

At this point, he again suggested to Sovereign Li Xiao and Sovereign Tian Hong, "If we follow the energy fluctuations now, we might be able to easily seize the treasure from that mecha!"

Upon hearing this, Lord Li Xiao and Lord Tian Hong exchanged a glance.

……

Meanwhile, deep within the black mist, Luo Xia had already exchanged blows with the purple dragon arm that kept appearing and disappearing abruptly more than a hundred times!

Luo Xia's figure flashed continuously, accurately dodging the purple dragon arm's attacks each time, while his sharp blade was also swung out from time to time, colliding with the dragon arm and creating fierce sparks.

The purple dragon arm attacked from incredibly tricky angles, sometimes slamming down from above, sometimes launching a surprise attack from the side. Luo Xia was completely focused, his nerves taut to the extreme.

He kept analyzing the dragon arm's attack patterns, trying to find a weakness.

After narrowly dodging another sweeping attack from the dragon's arm, Rorschach seized the opportunity, lunging forward and thrusting his blade straight at the dragon's arm.

The dragon arm seemed to sense the danger and vanished instantly, only to reappear behind Luo Xia a moment later. Luo Xia was prepared and dodged again with a side roll.

The two sides continued their back-and-forth exchanges, resulting in a stalemate.

Suddenly, an idea came to him. He pretended to be exhausted and deliberately revealed a flaw.

The purple dragon arm fell for the trap and attacked him fiercely. A faint smile appeared on Luo Xia's lips. Just as the dragon arm was about to hit him, he dodged to the side with incredible speed and slashed the dragon arm with his sharp blade at the same time.

A sharp cry rang out as Luo Xia struck the purple dragon's arm, causing the black mist to churn.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Luo Xia accelerated forward, breaking through layers of black mist.

Finally, the scene before him gradually became clear, and Rorschach stared in shock at the monster before him.

It was a being with three heads, one of which was the majestic head of a dragon, and the other two heads resembled a wolf and an eagle, respectively. Each head exuded a terrifying aura, and its enormous body emanated a heart-palpitating sense of oppression.

Rorschach took a deep breath, gripped his blade tightly, and prepared for the even more difficult battle to come...
