Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 479 The Fall of the Flame Emperor

Yang Wu was indeed somewhat surprised to see that Yan Di had suddenly created the strongest secret technique of the universe master under the crisis of life and death.

However, after thinking about it for a while, Yang Wu felt relieved.

After all, Yan Di was the second disciple carefully selected by the reincarnated God King Zuo Shan Ke, so his talent and comprehension were naturally not bad.

Now that Emperor Yan has cultivated for countless years and is facing a life-or-death crisis, it is not surprising that he is able to create the strongest secret technique of the universe master.

"I actually broke through!" Seeing that he had unleashed the strongest secret technique of the Lord of the Universe, Yan Di's face also showed a hint of joy.

He had not been able to improve his strength for countless years. Now, he had created the strongest secret technique of the universe master, and with the life gene level of nearly ten thousand times and the existence of the Flame God Halberd, his strength was top-notch even among fourth-order universe masters.

If Emperor Yan had broken through at any other time, he would probably have been extremely excited.

But now he is facing a life-or-death crisis brought to him by Yang Wu, and he has no choice but to treat it with caution.

However, at this moment, Emperor Yan felt a little more relaxed.

"I now possess the strength of a top-tier fourth-order cultivator. Even if this God-Slaying King is stronger than me, it will be very difficult for him to kill me!"

Emperor Yan thought to himself, "If I can block his attack once, I can block it a second, a third time!"

"Once the other powerful individuals arrive, I'll be safe!"

At this point, Emperor Yan no longer had any intention of killing Yang Wu. He only hoped that he could hold out until the other powerful figures who were preparing to target the Lord of the Northern Prison arrived, at which point he would naturally be able to take the opportunity to escape.

"God of Slaughter, you can't kill me!" Emperor Yan roared angrily through telepathy. "Just wait, if I manage to escape this calamity, I will definitely not let you go!"

"How ridiculous!"

The avatar of the Flame God Clan sneered, then transmitted his voice in return: "Emperor Flame, you don't really think that just because you created one of the strongest secret techniques of the universe's ruler, you can save your life in my hands, do you?"

The reason why Emperor Yan was able to block his attack with the Flame God Halberd was twofold: first, because he created the strongest secret technique of the Lord of the Universe; and second, because Yang Wu had used "Life and Death Impermanence" more than ten times, allowing Emperor Yan to discern some patterns.

If it were any ordinary universe lord, the Flame Emperor might actually have escaped.

After all, with the strength of Yan Di, a fourth-tier universe master, even if he couldn't contend with a fifth-tier universe master, he could easily weaken some of the attack power by using weapons and secret techniques.

But Yang Wu is different!

During the incredibly long simulation process, he had already created several sets of the strongest secret techniques for fusion with the Lord of the Universe.

Among these many secret techniques, each has its own focus: some excel in attack, some in speed, and some in ambush...

The reason why Yang Wu only used the "Life and Death Impermanence" fusion technique when attacking Yan Di was because there was no need to use multiple techniques.

Now that Emperor Yan has created the strongest secret technique for the Lord of the Universe, if Yang Wu wants to kill his opponent, he will naturally need to switch between several secret techniques during the attack, making it impossible for the opponent to block, so that he can easily deplete the opponent's divine body.

Thinking of this, Yang Wu immediately transformed into a streak of light and attacked Yan Di, while simultaneously unleashing another secret technique of the fusion of the universe's masters.

hum!

Endless divine power emanated out, instantly transforming into a giant net that enveloped Emperor Yan.

at the same time!

The Dark Gold Soul-Devouring Spear began to shine with endless dazzling light, clearly indicating that its power had been pushed to the limit.

"Emperor Yan, prepare to die!" Yang Wu snorted coldly, and then suddenly thrust out the dark gold Soul-Devouring Spear in his hand, which was over 100,000 kilometers long.

Endless divine power surged into the Dark Gold Soul-Devouring Spear, and then, carrying incomparably terrifying power, it pierced towards the Flame Emperor. Even the surrounding, incredibly solidified cosmic space showed a visible crack.

The Lord of the Universe has fused with the strongest secret technique, "Extinction Divine Light," which is the fastest secret technique among the many secret techniques that Yang Wu has mastered.

call out!

Even with the Flame Emperor burning his divine power and unleashing the strongest secret technique of the Lord of the Universe, he still couldn't dodge Yang Wu's secret technique.

"boom!"

The dark gold Soul-Devouring Spear, surrounded by endless dazzling light, slammed heavily into Emperor Yan's chest.

With a loud bang...

The Flame Emperor was blasted into dust by this ferocious attack.

The countless fragments that were blasted apart quickly coalesced into a burly figure, but at this moment, the aura of the Flame Emperor had been weakened once again.

"This is impossible!" The Yan Emperor, who had just condensed his divine body, was filled with shock and horror.

You must know that he has already created the most powerful secret technique of the Lord of the Universe.

Logically speaking, even a typical fifth-order universe lord should have difficulty harming him.

But that attack was incredibly fast, leaving him no time to react. And its power, though not as great as the secret technique used by the God-Slaying King, still managed to annihilate 5% of his body.

"Could it be that this God-Slaying King has created a second powerful secret technique?" Emperor Yan was shocked.

It should be noted that even most fifth-order universe masters have only created one secret technique for the fusion of universe masters.

Especially for the fifth-order universe masters in the original universe, their cultivation time is still very short. Apart from a few extremely heaven-defying beings, most universe masters have very simple and straightforward strongest methods.

This God-Slaying King was just an immortal god more than 100,000 years ago. In just 100,000 years, he was able to create several sets of secret techniques with endless power. Doesn't that mean his talent surpasses that of the human race's Time Lord?

However, now is not the time for him to think about these things.

At this moment, Emperor Yan's body was reduced to less than 30% of its original size, and he was in danger of dying at any moment.

"King of Slaughter, we are both disciples of Master Zuoshanke. Do you really intend to kill me?" Emperor Yan began to play the emotional card with Yang Wu through telepathy.

Yang Wu, however, remained unmoved and instantly unleashed another powerful fusion technique, charging towards his opponent.

Seeing that Yang Wu remained unmoved by his words, Emperor Yan, while desperately fending off Yang Wu's next attack, continued to anxiously transmit his voice, "Third Junior Brother, if you are willing to spare your Senior Brother, I will definitely lead the Yan God Clan to submit to you. From now on, you will be the new leader of my Yan God Clan!"

On the other side, Yan Di was also contacting Zuo Shan Ke for help using the communication token between them.

Emperor Yan held the Mountain Guest in high esteem, so even though he knew that Luo Feng had recognized the Star Tower as his master, he dared not release any information about it in the universe.

Judging from his own experience, Emperor Yan believed that as long as the Mountain Guest could make the God of Slaughter stop, the other party would have no choice but to listen.

……

An extremely remote place in the vast universe.

In that endless void, a majestic mountain peak floats suspended.

In a palace atop that mountain peak, a majestic figure stood with his eyes closed in deep thought.

If any other powerful figures were to appear here, they would immediately recognize the identity of this imposing old man as none other than the extremely troublesome super being in the entire universe, the Mountain-Sitting Guest.

"Um?"

Just then, the mountain dweller had a slight thought and immediately took out a token.

"The Flame Emperor contacted me? Could it be that he's encountered some trouble again?" The Mountain Dweller's consciousness directly penetrated into the token.

Meanwhile, a message quickly entered the mind of the Mountain-Sitting Guest from within the token.

"Teacher, save me! My third junior brother is impersonating the Lord of the Northern Prison, trying to kill me and seize the leadership of the Yan God Clan!"

"Oh?" The Mountain Dweller showed no surprise at all after receiving the Yan Emperor's distress message.

Although Emperor Yan did not explain the specific details of the matter, the guest who sat on the mountain, based on his understanding of his second disciple, could guess the gist of the matter.

"Emperor Yan, I can't help you!"

With a thought, the mountain dweller sent out a message through the communication token in his hand.

You must know that over the countless years, he has already helped Emperor Yan too much.

In fact, as early as when Yan Di's personality became increasingly stubborn and he went astray, Zuo Shan Ke had already given up on his second disciple.

However, because the Yan God Clan was personally guided and nurtured by the Mountain-Sitting Guest, like his own child, he was able to resolve some minor troubles for the Yan Emperor.

Just like in the original story, although the Mountain Hermit said he wouldn't care about his disciple's life or death when Luo Feng became his disciple, he still sent Luo Feng a message after Luo Feng went to the Cosmic Sea, telling him that he could ask him for help if he encountered danger.

But now, the Mountain Hermit won't interfere in the conflict between the two disciples.

After all, one side is a rebellious disciple who has gone down the wrong path and has no respect for his teacher; while the other side is a genius disciple with amazing potential who respects his teacher very much. The Mountain Guest naturally knows how to choose.

Moreover, over countless years, the Mountain-Sitting Guest has helped Emperor Yan a great deal.

Although Emperor Yan was outwardly quite respectful to him, how could the wise man sitting on the mountain not know what rebellious thoughts his disciple harbored?

"It's time for the Yan God Clan to change its leader!" The Mountain Guest sighed inwardly, then stopped thinking about it.

……

Just as Emperor Yan was calling for help from the Mountain-Sitting Guest—

Boom! Boom! Boom...

One after another, incredible pressure descended upon this primordial star, then spread outwards.

"Um?"

After a brief investigation, Yang Wu saw that from each of the spatial wormholes, figures exuding astonishing auras were stepping out one after another. They were all super beings capable of traversing the universe.

After the news of the Lord of the Northern Prison was spread, powerful figures from various forces in the Primordial Universe began to converge on this Primordial Star.

Furthermore, since Yang Wu did not move his coordinates, some super strong individuals who were already roaming the original star also arrived one after another.

However, teleportation is impossible on the original star, so it will take some time for these people to get close to Yang Wu and Yan Di.

"Lord of the Golden Horn, Lord of the Flaming Star, Lord of the Overturning Demon... Lord of Peng Gong!"

Yang Wu sensed the auras of the many powerful figures appearing on this primordial star and was secretly surprised: "I didn't expect these people to arrive so quickly?"

"However, no matter how many people come, they can't save your life!" Yang Wu's gaze towards Emperor Yan was icy.

The closest universe master to Yang Wu and his companion would need tens of seconds to get nearby.

That's enough time for Yang Wu to kill Yan Di.

Yang Wu's only worry was that the Mountain-Sitting Guest would step in to stop him from killing the Flame Emperor.

After all, Yang Wu had no idea how much affection the Mountain-Sitting Guest still had for the Flame Emperor. If there were no affection, the Mountain-Sitting Guest wouldn't have informed the Nine Domains Alliance, where the Flame Emperor was, when the Lord of Yuan'ao obtained the rare item in the original story.

At this moment, Yan Di had taken the initiative to provoke Yang Wu, which was naturally the best opportunity for Yang Wu to kill Yan Di. Otherwise, if Zuo Shan Ke really intervened, it would be very difficult to kill Yan Di and guide the Yan God Clan back to the human race!

After all, compared to killing Emperor Yan, the reincarnated God King, Zuo Shan Ke, was far more important. Yang Wu certainly wouldn't risk losing sight of the bigger picture over such a trivial matter and incur Zuo Shan Ke's displeasure.

Fortunately, Yang Wu has not received any news from the Mountain Guest so far, which has put his mind at ease.

……

Just as the Yan God Clan's clones were relentlessly attacking the Yan Emperor, many powerful figures who had arrived on this primordial star also began to control their own spacetime and communicate.

"What...what exactly happened here?"

"The one fighting the Lord of the Northern Prison should be the Flame Emperor of the Nine Domains Alliance, right? It seems the Flame Emperor is at a disadvantage!"

"Where is the Lord of the Overturning Seas? Wasn't it him who relayed the news that the Lord of the Northern Prison was here?"

"Has the Lord of the Overturning Seas already fallen?"

"Impossible!" A rock-type powerhouse with two heads frowned and said, "Although the Lord of the Overturning Seas isn't particularly strong, his divine body is enormous, and he's protected by a top-tier treasure armor. Even a fifth-tier universe lord would have a hard time killing him!"

"In my opinion, it's possible that the Lord of the Northern Prison joined forces with the Flame Emperor to kill the Lord of the Overturning Seas, and then a fight broke out over the ownership of the spoils!"

"That's right. I heard that when the Lord of the Northern Prison appeared in the universe last time, he did have some dealings with the Flame God Clan!"

"Lord of the Overturning Demons, tell me, what has become of the Lord of the Overturning Seas?"

Upon hearing this, all the cosmic lords around looked through a space-time continuum at a one-eyed figure that was about a thousand kilometers tall and covered in black and red mottled scale armor.

This one-eyed powerhouse was none other than a super being in the Northern Frontier Alliance, the Lord of Overthrowing Demons.

The Lord of Overturning Demons looked through a dimension at Yang Wu, who was relentlessly attacking the Flame Emperor, and then angrily said, "Everyone, the Lord of the Northern Prison has appeared in the universe this time, and his strength has become extremely powerful. The Lord of Overturning Seas has already fallen at his hands!"

The Lord of Overturning the Seas and the Lord of Overturning the Demons had a fairly good relationship within the Northern Frontier Alliance, so the Lord of Overturning the Demons still hoped to gather everyone's strength to avenge the Lord of Overturning the Seas.

"What?"

"The Lord of the Overturning Seas has actually fallen?"

"How is this possible? To kill the Lord of the Overturning Seas in such a short time, could it be that the Lord of the Northern Prison has already become a fifth-order Universe Lord?"

These universe lords quickly forgot about the fall of the Lord of Overturning Seas and instead looked through a space-time dimension at Yang Wu and Emperor Yan, who were engaged in battle.

"Oh no! Emperor Yan is in danger!"

……

At this moment, under Yang Wu's relentless attacks, the Yan Emperor's divine body was almost completely depleted.

"How could this be?"

Upon receiving the message from the Mountain Guest, Emperor Yan's expression turned even more frantic.

"How could the Mountain Hermit possibly ignore me? I'm his second disciple!"

"That's impossible!"

"I haven't become the strongest in the universe yet, I haven't made humanity pay the price, how can I fall?"

Facing Yang Wu, who had transformed into a dark golden streak and was charging towards him, Yan Di suddenly had a sudden realization.

"I was wrong!" Emperor Yan angrily transmitted his voice to Yang Wu, "Damn God-Slaying King, if I had continued to hone my skills after becoming the Lord of the Universe, my strength would definitely be even greater now, and you wouldn't be able to kill me at all!"

Just before his death, Emperor Yan finally recalled the crises he had faced before becoming the ruler of the universe.

It was precisely because of those life-or-death crises that he continuously broke through and became stronger, eventually becoming the supreme ruler of the universe.

After becoming the Lord of the Universe, he lost his fighting spirit. Even though the Mountain Guest prepared the identity of the Lord of the Northern Prison for him, he only used it to disguise himself and deal with the human race. He completely forgot that the nature of the Flame God Clan is to fight.

If he had continued to hone his skills in battles after becoming the ruler of the universe, his current strength would certainly be even greater.

Unfortunately, Emperor Yan only realized this at the very last moment of his life, which was indeed too late.

puff!

The voice of the Flame Emperor still echoed in Yang Wu's mind, while the Dark Gold Soul-Devouring Spear in Yang Wu's hand had already pierced through his head.

"Haha...hahaha..."

Sensing the collapse of his consciousness, Emperor Yan threw his head back and let out a maniacal laugh.

He, the Flame Emperor, considered himself extraordinary!

He has grown to this point, apprenticed under the strongest being in the universe, acquired several supreme treasures, and led a powerful race across the cosmos...

He also harbored a desire to become the strongest being in the universe, a desire to become an even greater being, and to trample everyone under his feet.

However, he lost his life because of the rise of this God of Slaughter!

"Even if I die, you won't get away with it!!"

Filled with resentment, anger, and regret, Emperor Yan, before his death, began to rapidly transmit a message through a space-time continuum to the many universe lords who had arrived on this primordial star.

"The Lord of the Northern Prison is actually the God-Slaying King of the human race in disguise. Don't be fooled by him!"

Emperor Yan knew very well that leaking this information would definitely anger the Mountain Guest, and might even lead to the revocation of many of his treasures.

Normally, he would not dare to do such a thing.

But now that he is about to perish, the Mountain Hermit is refusing to help him. How can he still have so many concerns?

In fact, Emperor Yan also planned to pass on more information to other powerful individuals.

For example, the news that Luo Feng had already recognized the Star Tower, this supreme treasure, as his master; and the fact that the infamous Dark Lord of the Cosmic Sea was a powerful figure among the human race…

When Emperor Yan betrayed the human race, he was already the ruler of the universe, so he naturally knew the identity of the Lord of Darkness long ago. However, after his betrayal, he also reached some agreements with many powerful figures in the human race, agreeing not to reveal many confidential information about the human race.

Otherwise, even if Emperor Yan had the Mountain Guest as his backer, the human race would not easily let him go.

Unfortunately, there was simply not enough time.

After the Yan Emperor's divine body shattered, it never reformed, and his consciousness vanished like a bubble, never to reappear.

Emperor Yan is the master of the universe, and cannot be resurrected by reversing time and space!

A super-powerful being in the universe, the Flame Emperor, has thus... completely perished!

Only a few precious treasures remained on the spot.

Among them are a dark gold world ring, a damaged treasure armor, a dark gold treasure halberd exuding an astonishing aura, and a crystal treasure shaped like a water droplet.

You're wrong!

Yang Wu looked at the few treasures left behind after the fall of Emperor Yan and sighed inwardly, "If you hadn't taken the wrong path back then, you might already have a chance to become the strongest being in the universe!"

The beings of the Flame God Clan possess an unparalleled talent in the path of divine power.

Even if reaching 90,000 times the level of life genes is not possible, even 60,000 times or 30,000 times is very difficult, but simply breaking the limitations of perfect genes is still quite easy.

Of course, for Emperor Yan, his personality flaws are also very serious!

Although there are some super strong beings in the universe with even worse personalities than Yan Di, Yan Di is different because he is backed by Zuo Shan Ke, the reincarnated God King!

For the Mountain-Sitting Guest, his goal was to cultivate a powerful figure who could help him take revenge. Yan Di, being extremely selfish, was naturally not suitable for this.

After he betrayed the human race, even if he had amazing talent, he probably wouldn't be able to receive much support from the Mountain Dweller!

"Fire God Halberd, Primal Soul!"

With a wave of his hand, Yang Wu instantly gathered the several treasures left behind by Emperor Yan after his fall.

Yang Wu wouldn't care about the other treasures in Yan Di's possession, but the Yan Divine Halberd and the Original Soul were super treasures tailor-made for the Yan Divine Clan by Zuo Shan Ke, and were extremely precious.

The scene of Yan Di being killed by the Yan God Clan's clone also shocked many super strong people who rushed to this primordial star.

"The Flame Emperor has fallen just like that?"

"Emperor Yan was actually killed by the Lord of the Northern Prison? Unbelievable, I can't believe my eyes!"

"Emperor Yan is a super strong figure in the Nine Domains Alliance. His strength is so great that even a fifth-tier Universe Lord is helpless against him. How could he possibly be killed by the Lord of the Northern Prison?"

……

All the lords of the universe were shocked at this moment.

The Flame Emperor's fame in the universe far surpasses that of the previous Lord of the Overturning Seas.

The fall of the Lord of the Overturning Seas was something that could be accepted by everyone, but the killing of Emperor Yan by Yang Wu was something that everyone found unbelievable.

If this hadn't happened right in front of everyone, probably no one would have believed it.

"I remember when Emperor Yan led the Yan God Clan to break away from the human race, the strongest axe-wielder of the human race made a move, but ultimately couldn't defeat Emperor Yan, right?"

"I remember that too! Could it be that the Lord of the Northern Prison is already stronger than the strongest being in the universe?"

Hearing the whispers of the crowd, Peng Gongzhi, who had already arrived, frowned slightly.

There were certainly some hidden reasons why the strongest of the giant axe masters spared the Flame Emperor back then.

However, among the human race, apart from the strongest of the giant axe users, no one else, including him, could do anything to the Flame Emperor.

Of course, at this time, Peng Gong was unaware that over a hundred years ago, the protective treasure, the Calamity Armor, that Yan Emperor possessed had already been retrieved by Luo Feng.

With the strength of Lord Peng Gong, he is quite confident in killing the current Yan Emperor.

As for the matter of the God-Slaying King that Emperor Yan mentioned before his death, no one took it to heart.

After all, the fact that Yang Wu, as the God-Slaying King, reached the level of perfect life genes on the extraterrestrial battlefield was still widely known in the universe.

Even if these cosmic lords had never heard of him, they could easily find out everything related to the God of Slaughter with a little inquiry.

But just over 100,000 years ago, the God-Slaying King was only a titled Immortal, while the Lord of the Northern Prison had already been famous in the universe for many years. How could there be a connection between the two?

Therefore, everyone took this statement as Yan Di's act of revenge before his death and did not take it seriously.

Even Peng Gongzhi, the master of the workshop, thought the same way.

After all, he knew that the true identity of the God of Slaughter was Yang Wu. Back when the Lord of the Northern Prison targeted the human race, Yang Wu had not yet been born, so how could he have impersonated the Lord of the Northern Prison?

"That despicable Yan Emperor, he tried to mislead us even before he fell! He deserves to die!"

"Damn Yan Emperor! Everyone, this Lord of the Northern Prison is too powerful. I'm taking my leave!"

"Yes, the current Lord of the Northern Prison can even kill the Flame Emperor; his strength is simply terrifying!"

Several universe lords of average strength were already filled with fear after witnessing Yang Wu kill Yan Di. Some even turned around and stepped into the space wormhole that had just arrived.

Which powerful being who can become the master of the universe isn't incredibly shrewd? Who wouldn't know how formidable they are?

The reason they wanted to target the Lord of the Northern Prison was simply because the Lord had acted too high-profile and recklessly before. Now that they realized the danger, they instantly sobered up.

So what if a super strong person who can kill the Flame Emperor acts a little arrogantly?
