Swallowing the Stars: Primordial Heavenly Dragon

"That Blood Sea Spirit was created by me, the Blood Demon Wing, from the souls of countless True Gods I slaughtered. Anything that kills the Blood Sea Spirit will be possessed by the spirits of those countless True Gods and suffer my wrath," the old bandit said with an air of self-assurance.

"If you come out of the Three-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast now, I can still give you a quick death. Otherwise, once I break the Three-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast, I will extract your souls and refine them into Blood Sea Spirits, making you wish you were dead."

"Third Uncle, let's go out," the young girl Ning'er said fearfully. She didn't want to be refined into a Blood Sea Spirit; that would surely be extremely painful.

"Don't be scared by this bandit. If he really had that kind of ability, he wouldn't be wasting his breath on us here," the bearded man comforted him. "Although the Three-Eyed Beast is restricted and unable to fight back, it's not an ordinary mechanical treasure. It has extremely strong self-defense capabilities. As long as we don't go out, that bandit can't do anything to us."

"Really...?" The young girl Ning'er was still very scared.

"Your third uncle is here," the bearded man continued to comfort her, reaching out to pat the girl's back to soothe her emotions.

"You really think I can't do anything to you?" the bandit shouted angrily.

"You thief, if you were truly capable, you wouldn't resort to such despicable tricks." The bearded man and the nineteen Void Gods ignited their divine power and struggled to control the Three-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast into a defensive stance.

The Great Bandit spread his Blood Wings, and streaks of blood-red blades slashed out from his wings.

Boom boom boom~

The blood-red blade struck the three-eyed golden-eyed beast, which had entered a defensive stance, slashing out bursts of blood mist and golden light.

"I'll see how long you can hold out," the bandit threatened, unleashing a barrage of blood-red blades that slammed into the three-eyed golden-eyed beast as it defended itself with all its might.

……

Boom boom boom~

A small universe ahead is shaking violently.

"There's a battle ahead?" Yan Yong, riding the Tower of Babel, was overjoyed.

If there is fighting in the wilderness, it is very likely that someone is robbing people. If it is indeed bandits, Yan Yong, with his kind heart, will definitely intervene.

Moreover, judging from the intensity of the battle ahead, that small universe was clearly a universe created by the Eternal True God in a single thought. The strongest of the two sides was the Eternal True God, who had enough power to "meddle in other people's business".

The Tower of Babel was moving very fast, and soon it rushed into the miniature universe.

The Tower of Babel concealed its divine light, hiding its form within this miniature universe.

The battle within the miniature universe is between a man with blood-red wings, who is constantly unleashing blood-red blades to attack a rare beast-like treasure below, its body shrouded in golden light and blood mist.

Yan Yong simply watched quietly, unaware that, as he suspected, there were bandits robbing the road.

"Get out here, all of you!" Da Kou shouted.

"If you're so good, then come and fight your way in," the bearded man retorted defiantly.

"Go, Uncle!" The girl, now completely safe, regained her lively side, shaking her little fist to cheer on her Uncle.

"Interesting. Is this a bandit robbery or a foolish thief offering treasure?" Yan Yong, whose figure was hidden in the void, watched the scene with great interest.

"Come out!" Da Kou suddenly stopped attacking and shouted into the void.

"Oh~ you've found me?" Yan Yong was about to step forward when a man with a sinister expression emerged from another part of the void.

"I never expected that there would be such a way to conceal one's aura on the Origin Continent," Yan Yongqi said.

Although he hadn't fully opened his senses, with his strength and eyesight, only a powerful being who was also a Chaos Ruler could conceal his presence.

The man who just walked out was clearly only at the level of an Eternal True God.

"Wu Liang, I told you you couldn't eat all by yourself." The sinister-looking man revealed a cruel smile.

"Qi Wanshan, as we agreed, it's 70/30, I get 70% and you get 30%," Wu Liang said.

"Haha, it was 73% before we came, but it's not that price anymore. You should have agreed to it earlier!" Qi Wanshan said coldly.

"Don't be so greedy. I went through a lot of trouble to gather information about the Qiushui Chamber of Commerce, and I also paid the deposit for this batch of goods." Wu Liang was furious.

He had planned meticulously, calculating every detail of the caravan, and everything was proceeding according to his script.

However, when they finally managed to trick the other party into revealing their true intentions, the other party saw through their scheme.

The leader of that chamber of commerce was also a remarkable person; otherwise, he would never have been able to see through my tricks so calmly.

Yan Yongyi quickly guessed the gist of the matter.

The suppressed three-eyed golden-eyed beast was a caravan, while the blood-winged man Wu Liang and the sinister man Qi Wanshan were bandits.

"A mechanical treasure from the Eternal True God is quite good; it can be exchanged for a lot of money." Yan Yong continued to observe while releasing his senses to check if there were any other powerful figures hiding around.

"Then let's split the profits 40/60, otherwise I won't wait for you," Qi Wanshan said.

After careful consideration, the black goblin agreed.

Satisfied, Qi Wanshan leisurely rose into the air, and with a flick of his wrist, a chain appeared in his hand.

"go!"

Qi Wanshan shouted, and the chains instantly transformed into a ferocious long snake.

With a flick of its body, the long snake overturned the three-eyed golden-eyed beast.

Restricted by the Blood Sea Spirit, the Three-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast appeared quite clumsy and could only withstand attacks with its body.

The long snake flipped him over and he fell heavily to the ground.

"Third Uncle." The sight of the three-eyed golden-eyed beast crashing to the ground made the girl panic.

"Don't panic, Uncle San is here." The bearded man forced himself to remain calm; yet another strongman had arrived.

"Another mechanical treasure, I wonder how much cosmic sand it can fetch." After confirming that there were no other powerful figures hiding around, Yan Yong prepared to make his move.

Rumble~

With the two working together, the Three-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast could not resist, and the surging golden light on its body dimmed more and more.

"Sigh~" The bearded man sighed inwardly. These two robbers were not ordinary Eternal Gods. The quality of their individual mechanical treasures was not low. With the two of them working together, they were very likely to be defeated this time.

"Ning'er, pilot the Azure Kite and run ahead. The Azure Kite is extremely fast. I left a source within it, enough for you to return to Eyu City." The bearded man handed Ning'er a single-target mechanical treasure.

This Azure Kite was originally meant to save his life, but the Azure Kite Stele was designed to prioritize speed over lightness and could only carry one person.

He had brought his little niece with him on this trip, so naturally he wanted to give her the chance to live.

"No, Third Uncle, let's go together." Although the young girl Ning'er was inexperienced and naive, she knew that her Third Uncle was giving her a chance to live.

"Don't say anything more. Third Uncle is an eternal god. There's still a chance to escape." The bearded man calmly comforted Ning'er.

"Third Uncle," Ning'er cried, filled with regret.

She regretted why she had come out with her third uncle this time. If she had stayed in the clan to cultivate as usual, her third uncle could have easily escaped with the blue kite.

"Be good, trust your third uncle." The bearded man patted Ning'er's head and continued to comfort her.

Rumble~

With Qi Wanshan and Wu Liang joining forces, the Three-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast's defense became increasingly inadequate.

buzz~

Suddenly, a surge of chaotic energy erupted from the surroundings, rendering the three powerful mechanical treasures immobile under the restriction of this intense chaotic energy.

"What is this?" Wu Liang and his companion's expressions changed drastically. This newly arrived powerhouse was definitely not on their side.

Meanwhile, the bearded man and the young girl Ning'er, who were hiding inside the three-eyed golden-eyed beast, showed signs of hope.

A man dressed in red divine armor stood in the void.

The man was handsome and dashing, with eyes that shone like lightning, radiating a strong sense of confidence and arrogance.

"Surrender, or you'll damage my precious treasures." Yan Yong made a fist with his left hand, and a powerful chaotic energy formed a giant hand that held Qi Wanshan and Wu Liang in its grasp.

Wu Liang's expression changed drastically. Wasn't this the very phrase he had just used to deceive the Qiushui Chamber of Commerce? He never expected that it would be used on him so soon.

However, he was powerless to refute it. Yan Yong's aura was definitely among the strongest of the Eternal True Gods. His mastery of the chaotic energy alone was comparable to some Chaos Rulers. The two of them had absolutely no chance to fight back.

"Your Excellency, spare my life! I'll give you all the treasures I have on me!" Qi Wanshan immediately begged for mercy.

"Your Excellency, spare my life! I am willing to offer up my most precious treasure, I only beg Your Excellency to spare my life." Wu Liang also cried and pleaded.

"You're all foolish. If you die, all the treasures on your bodies will be mine."

Yan Yong smiled coldly, and with a gentle clench of his left hand, the originally calm chaotic airflow around him immediately became violent.

At the center of the airflow was the giant hand that had coalesced.

Click click~

"No, uh..." Before they could even resist, they were instantly crushed to death.

The heart of the true god hidden within the divine body was also crushed.

The chaotic giant hand snapped away, revealing the two corpses. Yan Yong beckoned, and they appeared beside him.

After collecting all the treasures and storage items from the two individuals, he left their bodies aside.

He glanced back at the Three-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast.

The members of the Qiushui Chamber of Commerce were all startled, thinking that Yan Yong was planning to rob them all.

"Your Excellency, please spare us!" the bearded man pleaded hastily. If the other party could easily crush those two bandits, they could naturally break through the Three-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast's defenses with ease.

Even Qingyuan, known for her speed, could not escape the opponent's control over Chaos.

"Lead the way, I'm going to Eyu City." Yan Yong suppressed his aura, and the chaotic air around him immediately dissipated.

As the chaotic airflow dissipated, the incredibly powerful and suffocating aura vanished.

"Thank you, Your Excellency." The bearded man stepped forward and the three-eyed golden-eyed beast bowed respectfully.

Leading the way for such a super strong person is something they would be more than happy to do. With such a super strong person following them, they don't have to be afraid of any dangers they encounter on the road.

Yan Yong reached out and helped him up, signaling him to get moving quickly.

Because the Qiushui Merchant Guild had been hiding among the Three-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast, though restrained, still possessed astonishing defensive capabilities as the bearded man had stated.

Therefore, the members of the Qiushui Chamber of Commerce were only slightly exhausted and disheveled from the jolts, but they were not seriously injured.

Urged on by Yan Yong, the group did not wait for a full recovery before summoning their flying boat to continue their journey.

Yan Yong stepped directly onto the warship. The Tower of Babel was still quite conspicuous, and it was more in line with his low-key style to ride the warship into the city with them.

"Your Excellency, may I ask your name?" The bearded man approached Yan Yong with a respectful expression.

"We've only met by chance, so don't ask my name," Yan Yong said coldly.

It's not that he's aloof; he just hasn't decided on a name yet.

The situation of the Purple Moon Ancestor and the Eastern Emperor Ancestor is still unknown. At this moment, he has no power to protect himself in the face of powerful forces, so it is best to keep a low profile.

Otherwise, someone as talented as me would always be coveted.

Unfortunately, being too talented can sometimes be a burden.

The bearded man had a respectful expression. He had been in business for many years and was very adept at interpersonal relationships. He was not affected by Yan Yong's indifference at all.

"Thank you so much for saving our lives, Your Excellency. The Qiushui Chamber of Commerce will never forget this." The bearded man looked grateful. "I am Zhou Lian, the person in charge of the Qiushui Chamber of Commerce. Please feel free to ask for anything you need along the way."

"Oh~" Yan Yong immediately became interested. "It's a merchant guild? Help me see how much cosmic sand these two treasures can be exchanged for."

They initially thought it was a merchant caravan escorting goods, but it turned out that the other party was actually the head of the merchant guild.

He tossed the blood-red wings and serpentine chains to the bearded man, unafraid that the bearded man would dare to steal his treasure.

As he said before, if I kill you, all your treasures will be mine.

"Your Excellency, I have been a merchant for many years and have handled many treasures. Based on my experience, I estimate that these two treasures are worth a total of 3.1 million cosmic sands." After carefully examining them, the bearded man respectfully presented the two treasures to His Excellency.

Although the bearded man didn't know why the powerful Supreme Being before him couldn't even discern the value of these two treasures, the shrewd man knew the principle of "silence is golden."

Sometimes having too many problems can actually lead to trouble.

He was more inclined to believe that Yan Yong was testing him. If he deliberately underestimated the value of the treasure, it might cause the other party to be dissatisfied, while overestimating it would make the other party look down on him.

Therefore, he directly stated the value of these two treasures from a professional perspective.

Yan Yong was very satisfied with the other party's attitude. The price quoted by the other party was about the same as the Eternal True God-level Mechanical Flow Treasure shown in the information provided by the Mountain Guest.

"Does Your Excellency intend to sell these two treasures?" Zhou Lian asked tentatively.

"Indeed, these two treasures are useless to me. I might as well exchange them for cultivation resources," Yan Yong replied.

"If Your Excellency trusts me, you may sell this treasure to my Qiushui Merchant Guild. My Qiushui Merchant Guild will also provide all the cultivation resources Your Excellency needs." Zhou Lian finally found a way to express his gratitude.

The cargo transported this time mainly consisted of cultivation resources for the Eternal True Gods that the Black Demon wanted, which was more than enough to meet the needs of most Eternal True Gods and even had some left over.

By handing these resources over to this venerable one, we can not only repay part of his life-saving grace, but also establish a good relationship with him.

"I can sell you this treasure, but you don't need the cultivation resources," Yan Yong said with a smile, shaking his head.

"I'm not bragging, but even if you sold your entire business association, you still couldn't afford to support it."

The information provided by the Mountain Guest did not include the Autumn Water Merchant Guild, indicating that the other party was extremely small in size, at most considered a big player at the level of Eternal True God.

But Yan Yong is the ruler of chaos, and the resources he needs are enormous. Even if the entire guild were to be squeezed dry, it wouldn't be able to gather even one ten-thousandth of them.

"This..." The bearded man was momentarily speechless. From the other person's tone, he could sense that the other person was serious; this Venerable One truly looked down on their merchant guild. (End of Chapter)
