Swallowing the Stars: Primordial Heavenly Dragon

Yan Yong was extremely excited when he learned that the Flame God Venerable had died at the hands of the Flame Emperor.

Because he knew what that meant.

This means that Emperor Yan "killed his master".

What is the most reliable relationship in the primordial universe?

It is a "master-disciple" relationship.

Many powerful individuals have long lifespans, even immortality, but their families may not all possess the same talent for cultivation; most have already perished in the river of time.

In contrast, carefully selected disciples are different. Teachers usually examine the talent of their chosen disciples first, and only accept them as disciples if they believe the talent is exceptional.

Disciples with exceptional talent often progress smoothly in their cultivation under the dedicated guidance of their teachers, reaching a level close to that of their teachers.

This means that disciples have longer lifespans and more time to accompany their teachers.

Therefore, the bond between master and disciple is often very deep, and this relationship is extremely strong.

But Emperor Yan dared to defy the world and kill his master.

If this behavior were to spread, it would be condemned by the entire universe. Even the members of the Yan Shen Clan, who had initially held some hope for him, worried whether such a powerful figure could protect them.

If someone can kill even their teacher, what are their clansmen worth?

Most importantly, the biggest backer of Emperor Yan at this time, the reason why Yan Yong has never dared to make a move against him, is his teacher... the Mountain Hermit.

Once the Mountain Dweller learns that Emperor Yan "killed his master," no matter how kind-hearted they are, they will definitely sever ties with Emperor Yan.

If Emperor Yan could kill one teacher when he was powerful, he could kill a second. No strong person would be willing to be the teacher of such a "scoundrel".

Upon learning this news, Yan Yong almost couldn't resist resurrecting the Flame God Venerable himself.

But the mechanical god reminded him that this was too deliberate, and that he should first guide the fire god race to discover it on their own, which would make things more natural.

"Clang..."

As the mechanical god spoke, the sound of a table being slammed came from the throne not far away.

"That damned villain Yan Di..." said the bearded Peng Gong's master with a resentful expression.

It was as if he had an irreconcilable hatred for Emperor Yan.

Looking at the Ice Peak Lord sitting next to the other party, although it was impossible to tell anything from his face, his slight nod indicated that he strongly agreed with Lord Peng Gong's statement.

"Tianlong, just give the orders. I'll take care of Yandi when the time comes..." Master Peng suggested, but was interrupted.

"No... I'll leave it to Emperor Yan." The Lord of Ice Peak said calmly.

Yan Yong glanced at the Ice Peak Master in surprise. This cold and handsome old man rarely spoke and was not enthusiastic about most things.

But when he encounters Yan Di, he immediately becomes a different person, extremely proactive.

Especially dealing with Emperor Yan.

"Alright, then let's leave it to Senior Brother Bingfeng," Yan Yong decided immediately.

Even with his Calamity Armor, Yan Di was no match for the Lord of Ice Peak. Now that he has lost his Calamity Armor, his strength has decreased significantly. Meanwhile, the Lord of Ice Peak has greatly increased his strength with the help of the Wei Kingdom's heritage, and is in a state where he could break through to become the strongest in the universe at any time. It would be more than enough for him to deal with Yan Di.

In addition, this senior brother rarely spoke and always silently dedicated himself to the clan. Since he took the initiative to speak this time, Yan Yong naturally had no reason to disagree.

Anyway, he was tired of Yan Di being a punching bag, and as the strongest person in the universe, it would be a bit beneath him to take action against a third-tier universe lord. He might as well leave it to his senior brother, "Cold Ice".

After discussing the important matters, the meeting did not end there, but instead transformed into a discussion and exchange session on the Rhinoceros King's Game.

Those present were all powerful beings at the level of Cosmic Venerables or above, so it was a very easy thing for them to spare a wisp of their consciousness for discussion.

It's a rare opportunity to bring together all the best minds at a conference, so we should cherish this chance to learn from each other.

Yan Yong watched as everyone was having a great time discussing, smiled, and decided not to join in.

His progress is far ahead, there's really no need for him to show off.

……

The struggle for inheritance within the Tomb Ship continues in full swing.

"Ding! Dong!"

Three eras passed quickly.

Everyone was hoping that Luo Feng would stop at the third bottleneck.

At that moment, the sound of the bell resonated deep within everyone's hearts.

According to their estimates, there are at most two years left before the end of the three eras. At this time, every sound of breaking through the next bottleneck seems to be achieved by Luo Feng.

Everyone's attention was focused on Luo Feng and Duan Donghe, wanting to see if Luo Feng had actually broken through.

"Hahaha~" Duan Donghe, who had been looking cold, now had a satisfied smile on his face.

"Not bad, Galaxy, you're very good!"

Thump~

The successors of all the major powers trembled in their hearts. Duan Donghe's words were almost a direct statement: the one who had just broken through to the next bottleneck was that human Luo Feng.

Luo Feng's next bottleneck is the fourth one, where the opponent will directly receive the inheritance without needing to compete in the next round.

"Haha~ As expected of a rising star of our Earth lineage." Yan Yong also affirmed.

He solved 6000 games 1000 years ago, but he stopped solving games after that.

Through years of study and contemplation, his understanding of the Secret Chart Flow has reached a new level, and he has gained more insights and inspiration for the creation of secret methods.

You can still comprehend the Rhinoceros Emperor's Secrets later, but these sudden inspirations and insights should not be missed.

He then focused his attention on creating secret techniques, and over the course of a thousand years, with time accelerated ten thousand times, he successfully created a tenth-order secret technique.

The true cosmic ocean is invincible.

Their confidence in facing the Beast of the Realm has increased considerably.

"The Milky Way will directly receive the inheritance of my Duan Donghe lineage, and all those useless trash who haven't broken through the first bottleneck within 30,000 epochs will perish!" Duan Donghe Zhenkan's voice boomed with divine might, "Die!"

Originally, his plan was to kill all the inheritors to congratulate Luo Feng once he broke through the fourth bottleneck.

But Luo Feng is human after all, and his people are still here. He can't bring himself to kill all of the other party's people and then shamelessly ask them to accept the inheritance.

Moreover, with the Lord of Heavenly Dragons present, and the other party bearing the inheritance of a God King, the contingency plans he left behind certainly wouldn't be enough to defeat him. So, he simply decided not to put on airs and just let those inheritors who hadn't broken through the first bottleneck perish.

"Dean, save me!"

Yan Yong looked back and saw a human cosmic supreme being.

This time, all the forces under Yan Yong who met the conditions and were willing to come came. Many of them came to broaden their horizons on Yan Yong's advice, so the quality of the successors was naturally uneven.

At this moment, however, quite a few powerful figures from the Hongmeng forces have not yet broken through the first bottleneck.

"Come in!" Yan Yong said softly. Under his command, Xuan Kong Palace suddenly grew larger and larger, and its powerful aura burst out, covering the Hongmeng experts who had not yet broken through the first bottleneck.

"The Hongmeng, Mechanical Clan, Prison Clan, Insect Clan, and Dream Eater Clan are also welcome to join." The first four clans are all underlings of Yan Yong, while the Dream Eater Clan is underlings of Giant Axe.

After the last battle with the Divine Eye Clan, the Golden Emperor Demon God and the Giant Axe became sworn brothers.

The Golden Emperor Demon God, the strongest being in the universe during the second cycle of reincarnation, insisted on recognizing Giant Axe, a junior from the primordial universe era, as his elder brother. He said that Giant Axe was a genius who roamed freely and had boundless heroic spirit. He was convinced and felt that he had met him too late, so he bowed down and paid his respects.

Giant Axe fought alongside the other party against the Divine Eye Clan and felt that the other party was quite loyal, not abandoning him in the critical moment, so he recognized him as a younger brother.

Duan Donghe Zhenkan's gaze sharpened as he observed the power and aura emanating from the Xuan Kong Palace.

"This is absolutely a treasure of the God-King."

He possessed the legacy of the Broken East River and was born in the Wu Kingdom. With his extensive knowledge, he could naturally judge the approximate grade of the Xuan Kong Palace, which made no attempt to conceal its aura.

"Fortunately, I haven't made enemies with him. With this treasure protecting me, I really can't do anything to him."

He muttered to himself, but showed no mercy with his hands. With a wave of his hand, the other experts who had not yet broken through the first bottleneck were instantly reduced to ashes.

"In addition, all the powerful members of the Divine Eye Clan must also die!" Duan Donghe added.

"What?!" The two True Lords of the Divine Eye Clan were furious upon hearing this. "On what grounds?"

The other Divine Eye Clan inheritors who broke through the first bottleneck were even more shocked, their faces filled with disbelief.

The Second God dared not be negligent. He summoned his Ice Cliff Fortress and hid inside first. "What are you waiting for? Come in quickly."

Seeing that Yan Yong had used his supreme treasure palace to protect the powerful figures of several major forces, Duan Donghe, who couldn't do anything to the Xuan Kong Palace of the Heavenly Dragon Lord, could he possibly do anything to his Ice Cliff Fortress?

Immediately, the Second True Lord and the Lord of Witches, disregarding their surprise, entered the Ice Cliff Fortress one by one.

After all the powerful members of the Divine Eye Clan had entered the "safe" Ice Cliff Fortress, the Second True Lord's angry voice finally rang out.

"If Lord Duan Donghe truly did not wish for my Divine Eye Clan to receive the inheritance, why didn't you tell me directly during the initial test? Just like with the Skeleton Clan, why did you say they were not qualified to receive the inheritance? If you had said so earlier... my entire Divine Eye Clan wouldn't have had to come in."

"Yes, Lord Duan Donghe, why are you treating me this differently?"

"They gave us hope, then left us in despair."

"In the end, they said we weren't qualified, and that we all had to die."

One voice after another rang out.

Clearly, the Divine Eye Clan was extremely angry.

Duan Donghe sat on the throne, looking down at the crowd: "This... is a request from a friend of mine. I owe him one, so naturally I granted it."

As soon as he finished speaking, one side wall of the hall suddenly split open to both sides, revealing a passage.

A blurry figure slowly emerged, covered in golden scales, standing upright in a human-like form, with a pair of golden wings on his back, and nine pairs of eyes scanning the area... yet no one dared to look him directly in the eye.

"The Thunder-Clad Demon God?"

The powerful members of the Divine Eye Clan quickly recognized the newcomer.

"It was you!"

The Second True God was incredulous, never expecting to fall into the trap of this Thunder-Clad Demon God today.

The strongest beings in the universe, like the Thunder God, who do not possess supreme treasures, are usually looked down upon by the Divine Eye Clan. Their friend, Kong Luo, was even killed by the Divine Eye Clan to establish their authority.

The Thunder-Clad Demon God first bowed to Duan Donghe's consciousness, and then bowed to the Xuan Kong Palace.

He could tell that the Lord of the Heavenly Dragon was extremely special. Even Duan Donghe was unwilling to be his enemy. Moreover, the other party was the strongest in the Universe Sea. In the future, he would have to be mindful of the other party's feelings when he was in the Universe Sea.

So instead of making a strong first impression, they made sure to establish a clear stance.

"Senior Duan Donghe, now that the successor has been chosen, I will not keep you company any longer." Yan Yong withdrew all the experts from his side, leaving only Luo Feng behind. "Luo Feng, you should carefully study this Duan Donghe inheritance."

"Yes, teacher!" Luo Feng replied respectfully.

Duan Donghe nodded, waved to open the cabin door and let Yan Yong and the others leave. At the same time, he was overjoyed. He hadn't expected that Luo Feng was actually a disciple of the Heavenly Dragon Lord. Now he could rest assured.

Yan Yong had no intention of rescuing the Divine Eye Clan.

Although he had reconciled with the Divine Eye Clan, he had not forgotten how arrogant and domineering the Divine Eye Clan had been. If he hadn't been so powerful, would the Divine Eye Clan have reconciled with humans?

You should know that the Divine Eye Clan originally wanted to kill the founder of the Giant Axe to establish their authority.

He didn't cause trouble for the Divine Eye Clan simply because he didn't have time to deal with them. It doesn't mean he doesn't hold grudges. He can come back and settle accounts with the Divine Eye Clan after he's dealt with the World Beast.

At that moment, he drove the Xuan Kong Palace away.

Seeing this, the Second God also wanted to drive the Ice Cliff Fortress to follow.

"Trying to leave?" Duan Donghe sneered and pointed a finger.

Whoosh! Countless golden runes immediately appeared on the walls and floor of the entire hall. Countless golden threads condensed in mid-air and surged wildly toward the Ice Cliff Fortress, wrapping it layer by layer like silkworm silk, binding and restraining it.

……

"Tianlong, do you think Duan Donghe can kill those powerful members of the Divine Eye Clan? They're all hiding inside the Supreme Treasure Palace," Master Peng asked curiously.

He actually wanted the Divine Eye Clan to be killed; when the Primordial Ancestor was alive, the human race was incredibly powerful.

After the original ancestor is suppressed, humanity's situation in the cosmic sea will definitely decline sharply.

As the madman of the first cycle of reincarnation, he suffered a lot at the hands of the Divine Eye Clan.

"Haha, what supreme treasure? Supreme treasure is just a term used by my Cosmic Sea." Yan Yong explained with a smile, "There is no such concept in ancient civilizations. That Ice Cliff Fortress is at most a True God's treasure, nothing special in ancient civilizations, far inferior to my Xuan Kong Palace."

"That's good, that's good!" Master Peng nodded excitedly, then shook his head and sighed as if he had thought of something. "It's a pity that the Divine Eye Clan has seven True Lords. Even if two of them have fallen, they still can't explore their small universe."

"Soon, soon," Yan Yong said calmly, without specifying what "soon" meant.

But Peng Gong's master understood the hidden meaning in Yan Yong's words, and a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes.

"Hahaha~" Master Peng suddenly laughed loudly, "I never expected that during this trip to comprehend the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation, I would actually break through 30,000 times in gene strength by some twist of fate."

"Me too," the Lord of Darkness added.

The Lord of Ice Peaks nodded in agreement.

They all chose to cultivate the secret technique "Martial Soldiers". This time, while comprehending the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation, they also separated a wisp of their consciousness to cultivate this secret technique.

At this moment, with time accelerated ten thousand times, he has also cultivated to the level of thirty thousand times.

The "Martial Soldiers" system has three levels: the first level is the perfect gene, the second level is the breakthrough of the perfect gene, and the third level is the 30,000-fold gene.

With only genetic mapping as a guide, given their talent, there's no need for them to keep wasting time.

Such guidance is generally prepared for geniuses from the Origin Continent, as they have time to comprehend it. However, the powerful beings of the Cosmic Sea only have one cycle to break through to become the strongest in the universe, and three cycles to become true gods of the void. There is no need for them to waste time.

Only a super genius like Luo Feng could break through 100,000 times the genetic barrier in less than half a cycle of reincarnation. (End of Chapter)
