Swallowing the Stars: Primordial Heavenly Dragon

Chapter 122 Divine Phoenix, Go Infiltrate the Heavenly Dragon Lord's Army

"Lord of the Heavenly Dragons, release us, or let our two races wage war!" Lord Changjiu pleaded urgently. Several top experts of the demon race were gathered here, and he, Xue Zhan, and Mie Jin all had the potential to become the strongest beings in the universe. The two great demon ancestors would not abandon them.

If the human race were to press them so hard, the two demon ancestors would likely wage a full-scale war against the human race for their own sake.

"What's wrong with starting a war?" The suppressive power increased once again, putting even more pressure on Lord Changjiu and the others.

"Become your master's mounts obediently, for this will be your glory," the master of the black wolf roared as he stood up.

"Damn it, Sirius, shut up!" the Lord of Annihilation roared.

"Exterminate the imprisonment, and once you return to your master's command, you will forget all your troubles." The Lord of Black Wolves spoke with increasing enthusiasm.

"Shut up, black dog." The Lord of Annihilation stopped calling the other party Sirius, furious.

"Woof, I am the Lord of the Black Wolves, this is the title bestowed upon me by my master. Become my master's mount, and I will also bestow upon you a glorious title," the Lord of the Black Wolves enthusiastically urged.

"..."

The Lord of Annihilation was so angry that he didn't want to speak.

"Hahaha~ I've decided, from now on you'll be called Lord of the Black Serpent." Yan Yong stroked the Black Wolf Lord's head and happily made the decision.

"I will never accept this." The Lord of Annihilation's originally cold, serpentine eyes were now filled with rage as he stared intently at the man and the wolf.

"Hahaha~" The surrounding human powerhouses also burst into laughter. This scene was truly unprecedented in the primitive universe.

Rumble~

A large, silvery-white serpent descended upon this primordial star.

"Lord of the Heavenly Dragons, release my race's Universe Lords!" The white serpent was surrounded by countless serpent shadows, and its powerful aura made the race's Universe Lords tremble.

"You think you can just release it like that?" Yan Yong stroked the head of the Black Wolf Lord and glanced sideways at the giant serpent that was 100,000 kilometers tall.

"Tianlong, you've gone too far!" The white serpent swept its tail across, shattering space and time wherever it passed.

"Who are you threatening?" Riding the black wolf, he swung his halberd and collided with the snake's tail.

Boom~

The snake's tail was struck and sent flying backward.

"We're all at the sixth rank, who's afraid of who?" Yan Yong stood on the back of the black wolf, holding his halberd horizontally.

"Tianlong, spare my demon race's cosmic lord, and name your price." The white serpent calmed down and confronted Yan Yong.

"Junior brother, although the six universe lords will cause the demon race some pain, they won't seriously harm them. It's more important to exchange some benefits with them," the Chaos City Lord suggested. "Moreover, there are the Blood Chisel Lord, the Forbidden Annihilation Lord, and the Changjiu Lord among them. The demon race will offer everything except their most powerful treasures."

"That's right. If we really kill them, the demon race will truly start a full-scale war," said the Lord of Qingdong and others.

It is not advisable to start a full-scale war before the strongest on both sides is dealt with. The strongest is like a nuclear weapon to each race. If this major threat is not eliminated, starting a war will result in mutual destruction.

"Alright, let's talk about terms first." Yan Yong nodded, knowing that now was not the right time.

"Master, leave Miejin here. He is my best brother," the Black Wolf Lord said.

"Black dog, shut up," the Lord of Annihilation hurriedly said.

He was initially pleased to hear that the humans had agreed to negotiate his release, but he never expected that one of his "good brothers" would betray him.

"Exterminate Forbidden, you are my brother, my dearest friend and family. Do you think I wouldn't think of you?" the Black Wolf Lord patiently advised.

The Lord of Annihilation turned his head away from the Lord of Black Wolves and said only to Yan Yong, "Lord of Heavenly Dragons, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have come to avenge this black dog. Please let me go."

"Hahaha~" Yan Yong and the other human universe masters laughed.

Rumble~

Two figures suddenly appeared in the sky above the original star and started fighting.

A figure lurked within the serrated shell, its sharp tail constantly piercing through space and time.

The other figure was a savage giant; each swing of his axe unleashed thousands of axe shadows, tearing apart everything in sight.

"Giant Axe, do you humans really want to start a war with my demon race?" The serrated shell figure screamed.

"Hahaha, then we'll see if your demon race offers enough sincerity." The Giant Axe Founder laughed heartily, slashing with each axe stroke, sending the Demon Ancestor flying everywhere.

Although both of them could only unleash sixth-tier combat power, the giant axe's axe technique was extremely exquisite, and it struck Zhen Yaozu more often.

"A universe lord and a supreme treasure, isn't that enough sincerity?" Zhen Yaozu said, forcing the giant axe away with a single tail stab.

"It has to be a treasure of the pinnacle palace level." With a single swing of the giant axe, Zhen Yaozu was once again sent flying.

"Giant Axe, don't go too far!" After being cleaved away, Zhen Yaozu stopped in the distant void and stopped fighting the creator of the giant axe.

"Hahaha, is that going too far?" The Giant Axe Founder, wielding the 'Heavenly Battle Axe,' pressed forward once more. "Wasn't it your demon race that first plotted to kill Youhou? Now, your demon race should bear all the consequences. You can decide when to start the war, but the right to stop the war is in the hands of my human race."

"Alright, a universe lord and a supreme palace treasure, but you must release the hostages immediately." Zhen Yaozu gritted his teeth and finally agreed.

It didn't say that the Lord of Tongling would be excluded. If the Lord of the Universe who only redeemed the demon race abandoned the Lord of the Universe of the Alliance, then the other Lords of the Universe of the Demon Race Alliance would no longer trust the demon race, and the alliance would fall apart. That would be the most terrifying thing.

"Alright, I'll exchange you for the treasure." After agreeing to the terms, the founder of the giant axe put away the Hun Tian Battle Axe and ceased his attack.

"My demon race cannot produce six top-tier palace treasures in a short time. I need to return to the demon race. During this period, the Heavenly Dragon Lord and his palace treasures must remain on this primordial star," said Zhen Yaozu.

"Last time, you humans made a promise to exchange a supreme treasure for the Heavenly Wolf, but where is the Heavenly Wolf now?" the Dream Demon Ancestor roared from below.

"Woof! There's only Black Wolf, not Sky Wolf!" the Black Wolf Lord retorted loudly. How dare a mere mount use a name of the same caliber as its master?

Upon hearing this, the Dream Demon Ancestor was even more enraged.

"Lord of the Heavenly Dragons, you will pay the price."

"Hahaha, just hand over the treasure obediently, stop with the empty talk." Yan Yong remained unmoved, with his current combat strength he was not afraid of the two strongest members of the demon race.

They couldn't even break through the Heavenly Dragon Armor on their bodies.

"Fine, I'll leave this divine tower on this primordial star." Yan Yong's true form didn't care. If the demon race wanted to supervise him, they needed to leave one of their strongest members here. The others could be suppressed by him and turned into bargaining chips.

He has many clones, so even if he leaves his main body behind, it won't affect his ability to seize treasures.

Zhou Heng's avatar walked out of the Tower of Babel and led the other universe lords of the human race away from this primordial star. The ceasefire agreement was reached, and even the demon race wouldn't immediately break off the agreement. The other universe lords could continue their treasure hunt.

……

News of the war between humans and demons on the Primitive Star quickly spread throughout all the Primitive Stars, and the powerful figures of the major forces on the Primitive Stars relayed the news back.

The phoenix clone, feigning composure, entered the Queen's Palace. If it weren't for the fact that it was an avatar, he wouldn't have dared to go in, as the battle with his senior brother Bingfeng could very well expose him.

The Queen's Palace is the most powerful and precious palace of the Zerg Queen, and the Zerg Alliance usually holds its meetings here.

Those who come are all incarnations, and they are not afraid of any palace suppression.

"Everyone, you all know about the battle between the demon race and humans, right?" After the phoenix clone entered, the powerful members of the insectoid alliance were all present.

"Then humanity suddenly became wealthy. The Lord of the Heavenly Dragons possesses at least three supreme treasures, and the Giant Axe also has one. Humanity is now the strongest force in the primordial universe, and even the Ancestral God Cult's attitude is quite ambiguous."

"This is what the Zerg Queen, the Lord of the Lotus, who is presiding over the meeting, said."

"That's right. This time, my Zerg Alliance also got involved. The Divine Phoenix and the Ice Peak Lord of the Human Race even fought a battle."

The Zerg Queen, seated on the highest throne, spoke, saying that the battle between the Phoenix Avatar and the Lord of Ice Peaks was known to the powerful beings on the Primordial Star, though they were unaware of the details.

"Currently, the human race is showing its strength too much. I suggest we try to ease tensions with them first," suggested the Lord of Bilong.

"That's what I was planning too. I only let the Divine Phoenix make a move because I wanted to test the strength of humanity and leave some room for maneuver for my Zerg race." The Zerg Queen gave the Phoenix clone a meaningful look.

"The Empress isn't trying to use me as a scapegoat, is she?" the phoenix clone asked.

"How could that be?" The Zerg Queen smiled slightly, a smile that enhanced the entire palace. "Your battle with the Ice Peak Lord didn't cause any losses to humanity. Besides, the hatred between my Zerg and humanity cannot be resolved by simply handing over a Universe Lord like you to obstruct the Ice Peak Lord."

"The Ice Peak Lord performed exceptionally well in this battle against the Divine Phoenix. He is an extremely powerful fourth-tier Universe Lord. The Alliance will reward you with a top-tier treasure."

Upon hearing this, the phoenix clone felt relieved, realizing that it had not been exposed.

Soon, a virtual display screen appeared in front of the Phoenix clone, showing a list of the top treasures in the Zerg Treasury.

"Haha, these are just some insignificant achievements. How could I possibly accept such a reward?" he said, while his wings kept swiping across the screen to select treasures.

Although top-tier treasures aren't very useful, and he basically doesn't need them anymore, he can still exchange them for other treasures.

He could exchange it for a treasure with a powerful figure from the Ancestral God Sect. Given his special life form, it wouldn't be unreasonable for him to join the Heavenly Dragon Lord's faction within the Ancestral God Sect. It just so happens that the Zerg Alliance wants to ease tensions with the Human Race.

He was willing to temporarily act as a bridge of friendship between the two ethnic groups.

"Your Majesty, if we wish to ease tensions with the human race, where should we begin?" asked the Lord of the Nether Lotus.

"This matter still needs to be addressed by the Divine Phoenix." The Zerg Queen smiled as she looked at the Phoenix clone, her bright phoenix eyes full of charm.

"Oh~ I wonder what the Queen wants me to do?" the phoenix clone asked doubtfully. He had said before that he would not use himself to please the human race, so why did this matter fall on his shoulders?

"You saved Lord Youhou from Emperor Yan before. Although you hindered the human race this time, you were still following orders. As long as you join the outer forces of the Ancestral God Sect as a special life, you will have the opportunity to join Lord Tianlong's command."

Upon hearing this, the Phoenix clone thought, "What a coincidence! That's exactly what I was planning, but I hadn't figured out how to implement it. Now, I've been appointed by the Zerg Queen, and I'm here as an undercover agent on imperial orders."

"That's not a good idea. If the Lord of the Heavenly Dragons beats me up, I won't be able to escape in the Heavenly Dragon Time and Space," the Phoenix clone said, feigning reluctance.

"Do your best. I believe the Lord of the Dragons isn't that shameless," the Zerg Queen encouraged.

"You're mistaken. I am the most shameless person in the entire primordial universe. If you were any other universe lord, you would be like a meat bun trying to kill a dragon—you would never come back," the phoenix clone muttered to himself, but promised aloud that he would definitely complete the mission.

"Yes, Divine Phoenix, you shall now proceed with this task." The Zerg Queen nodded with satisfaction. "Minglian, let's continue the meeting."

After the Zerg Alliance finished discussing its affairs, the Phoenix clone left, leaving the Zerg Queens to continue their discussions.

"Your Majesty, the Phoenix Lord is extremely well hidden. This battle with the Ice Peak Lord was just a half-hearted effort. Their acting was terrible; they didn't even bother to act and didn't take our insect race seriously at all," said the Lord of the Nether Lotus after the phoenix clone left.

"Humanity is powerful, so it's normal for these alien races to have a bit of wishful thinking. As long as they don't cross the Zerg's bottom line, we don't need to bother with them," the Zerg Queen said dismissively.

"But why did the Empress give him a top-tier treasure?" the Lord of Bilu asked, puzzled.

"Only my Zerg knew about the fact that the Divine Phoenix Lord was slacking off. At the time, I was the only one observing from the shadows. My reward to the Divine Phoenix Lord was naturally to encourage the other universe lords," the Zerg Queen explained with a smile. "The other universe lords will then think that the Divine Phoenix Lord contributed a lot in the battle against the Ice Peak Lord, and they will follow suit."

The other Zerg queens nodded in deep agreement; the queen's considerations were indeed far more profound.

"The Lord of the Divine Phoenix?" After everyone else had left, the Zerg Queen softly murmured this name.

……

After separating from the Ice Peak Lord, the Phoenix Avatar left Primitive Star 01862 and traveled swiftly to Primitive Star 01565, keeping a safe distance from the Hong Alliance experts.

"That was close!" the phoenix clone said with lingering fear. "Luckily, we weren't seen by the insectoids. I should have asked Brother Chaos for help. Although Brother Chaos looks upright, he's definitely a better actor than Brother Ice Peak."

Boom boom boom~

During the flight, Yan Yong sensed intense battle fluctuations coming from ahead.

"It seems that an extraordinary treasure has been born, and there are even top-tier cosmic overlords fighting." Although the battle was extremely intense, the Phoenix clone did not sense the control of spacetime by either side.

He can control this space-time with just a thought.

hum~

The phoenix clone rushed towards the place where the treasure was born, and a powerful force of spacetime spread out, and this spacetime suddenly had a master.

The two top cosmic overlords who were fighting immediately separated.

A cosmic ruler has arrived.

"Which cosmic ruler are you?" asked a powerful being with horns, a bull's body, a lion's tail, and wings on its back.

"So it's Venerable Brahma Bull of the Thorn Ring Alliance and Venerable Extreme Line of the Northern Frontier Alliance." A divine bird surrounded by dark red flames appeared in the arena.

Countless golden dragons flew out from beside the divine bird. The powerful golden dragon domain, combined with the ability to control time and space, instantly made the divine bird's aura incredibly strong, causing the two top overlords present to feel a chill.

"Why don't you leave this treasure to me?" The divine bird looked down at the two top overlords.

"Since it is the Lord of the Divine Phoenix who has spoken, my Thorn Ring Alliance has no objection." Venerable Brahma Bull directly stated his choice to give up.

They had better leave immediately before the Divine Phoenix made a move, otherwise the opponent could annihilate their divine bodies with a single strike.

The phoenix clone immediately released its domain's suppression of Venerable Brahma, allowing the opponent to leave smoothly.

Seeing that Venerable Jixian was still unwilling to leave, Yan Yong smiled.

With a flap of its wings, thousands of fireballs flew out from its wingspan of over 100,000 kilometers, the powerful primal force of fire setting spacetime ablaze wherever it passed.

"Lord of the Divine Phoenix, no!"
