Swallowing the Stars: Primordial Heavenly Dragon

Of the four, three have already found partners, but there's still no news about the founder of the Giant Axe.

"Teacher, you still haven't told us where you are?" Yan Yong said with a smile.

"I'm telling you, kid, so you can swallow me whole, huh?" the founder of the giant axe joked.

The Chaos City Lord, standing to the side, found it amusing. He hadn't expected his junior brother, now a God King, to be so unreliable. Seeing him nearby, the Heavenly Dragon clone had startled him.

"Haha~ Isn't this just to give Senior Brother a surprise?" Yan Yong laughed and patted the Chaos City Lord on the shoulder.

"No surprises, but plenty of shocks." The Chaos City Lord said with a dark face. He had never experienced that gaping mouth and that feeling of helplessness in all his years of cultivation.

"But Giant Axe, haven't you found out where you are yet?" the Chaos City Lord asked with concern.

Of the four people, there's still no news about Giant Axe. What if he encounters danger? The Origin Continent is so vast; if an emergency occurs, there might not be enough time to rescue him.

Moreover, he suspected that the location of the giant axe might involve an extremely powerful god-king, which was why he dared not reveal it, fearing that Yan Yong would clash with this god-king.

After so many years of friendship, he still understands his old friend, Giant Axe, very well.

"I'm fine here," Giant Axe said nonchalantly. "It's safe here..."

"Just tell me already. After all these years, don't I know you well enough?" The Chaos City Lord's expression changed.

"It's nothing," Giant Axe waved his hand. "This is the State of Yan, and it's quite peaceful here."

"Yan Kingdom?" Yan Yong's smile deepened. Yan Kingdom was indeed one of the few peaceful places on the continent.

The Yan Kingdom is isolated overseas, has been closed off from the world for many years, and is not interested in fighting. Moreover, the surrounding seas are rich, and the King of Yan is also a top expert on the continent, so the Yan Kingdom is very stable.

It would indeed be a fortunate thing to arrive in the Yan Kingdom upon first arriving on the Origin Continent.

Moreover, the location of the giant axe was indeed in the Yan state.

……

"It seems the teacher's position is quite precarious?" Inside the Xuan Kong Palace, the Heavenly Dragon clone pulled the Chaos City Lord's true form aside and began to discuss the matter.

The Yan Kingdom is an island nation located in the northwest of the continent, and there are not many kingdoms with powerful god-kings along the way.

The ancient kingdom of Thunder is also sandwiched in between.

However, as a superpower, the Thunder Kingdom would not stoop to making things difficult for an ordinary Void God, so it can be ruled out.

The two quickly identified a country.

This country is not only ruled by a powerful and renowned god-king, but also by a tyrannical ruler who delights in torturing his people and taking pleasure in slaughter.

The people of that country suffered terribly, and those who tried to escape were subjected to gruesome deaths, their souls extracted and their spirits refined. Even the countries that dared to take in these refugees faced retaliation.

As a result, neighboring countries no longer dared to take in refugees, and instead built border walls to prevent refugees from entering the country.

This ruler is not only personally powerful, but is also a second-realm god-king.

He was a disciple who was expelled from the sect by the founding monarch of the Thunder Kingdom.

It is said that this god-king was once extremely favored, but he was later expelled from the sect because he became arrogant and committed too many murders.

Otherwise, he would be an emperor of the Thunder Kingdom now.

Therefore, even if there were other powerful god-kings, they would not dare to offend them easily, for who knows whether that founding monarch had truly abandoned this disciple.

"It seems that the giant axe must be in this 'Li Kingdom'," the Chaos City Lord analyzed. "Moreover, his current situation is not good, otherwise he would not have kept quiet."

"Hmm, it seems I have to make a trip." The Heavenly Dragon clone nodded, walked out of the Xuan Kong Palace, and released the Chaos City Lord. "Qingyan, you stay here and guard my senior brother."

"Yes, my lord," the blue-eyed python, who had already broken through to the God-King realm, replied respectfully.

"Little Yan, are you going on a long trip?" The old man with the colorful clothes looked at Yan Yong with a smile.

"Yes, a division commander is imprisoned, and I have to go there," Yan Yong replied.

"Hehe, you do have a filial heart." The old man with the green hair gently stroked his white beard. "Be careful on the road. I have a word for you."

"Please speak, sir." Yan Yong was overjoyed upon hearing this. This old man was probably going to give him some pointers, which would make all their years of good neighborly relations worthwhile.

"The dragon that soars too high will regret it."

The Heavenly Dragon clone nodded. Lao Tzu had said this when he left the Primal Universe and came to this Origin Continent. He wanted to ask the old man what he meant at the time.

As a result, the old man handed him the Book of Changes and told him to read it himself.

After reading it, I understood what it meant, but I didn't understand what the old man meant.

Now that this old man, who is suspected to be "Yuan," is saying such things, it's giving him a bit of a headache.

Despite not understanding, Yan Yong still decided to set off. If he arrived too late, something bad might happen to the giant axe.

Although Giant Axe's current situation may not be dire, if he waits until things get really bad, a Void True God like Giant Axe wouldn't be able to travel that far.

The old man with the green hair shook his head as he watched the Heavenly Dragon clone hurrying along.

"Old man, what do you mean by that?" the blue-eyed python asked, puzzled.

"Hahaha~" the old man with the colorful hair stroked his beard and laughed loudly, "He has to figure it out for himself."

"Nonsense!" The blue-eyed python glanced at the old man with disdain, then coiled up and ignored him.

……

Yan Yong's true form rushed back to the capital of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom after a great effort.

It also left Luo Feng with a lot of things.

Yan Yong's true form also headed towards the Li Kingdom.

The giant axe bears Yan Yong's own divine power token. When you are far away, the sensation is unclear and you don't know its exact location, but when you get close, it is as conspicuous as a bright lamp in the dark.

After arriving in the Li Kingdom, the Heavenly Dragon clone confirmed the location of the founder of the Giant Axe.

"That damned King Li is really asking for death."

The Heavenly Dragon clone stood in the void, and below it was a huge arena.

The Void Gods were divided into two teams and fighting each other.

Seated above the arena was a handsome man, watching with obvious enjoyment the two armies of Void Gods locked in battle.

He didn't have many hobbies, but commanding troops in battle was one of them.

Because he was too close to the Thunder Kingdom, he dared not start a real war of annihilation, so he could only play this game in his own country.

However, since it wasn't a real war, it felt slightly unreal to him, so he would only stop the game when one side was completely wiped out, thus satisfying his bloodlust.

As a Void God who recently arrived in the Kingdom of Li, Giant Axe naturally had to participate in this game of pleasing King Li.

Although he was initially unwilling, he had no choice but to compromise after learning about the reputation of the Prince Li.

At this moment, the giant axe was fighting below as an ordinary void god.

However, having received the inheritance of the God King and the Heart of the Universe to reshape a miniature universe, his strength was not weak, and he was temporarily safe from the battle below.

When the Heavenly Dragon clone unleashed its aura, the Void True Gods fighting below came to a standstill.

"Who?" King Li below was furious upon seeing this.

I never expected that someone would dare to disturb my enjoyment.

King Li squinted, his expression grim as he stood up and looked into the void.

The Heavenly Dragon clone reached down, intending to retrieve the Void True God within the arena.

"How dare you!" King Li roared in fury, shattering Yan Yong's powerful hand with a single punch.

"Hmph." The Heavenly Dragon clone snorted coldly, "Since you like fighting, I'll keep you company. I'll put these Void Gods away for now."

"Hahaha~" King Li laughed upon hearing this, "Why bother with all this trouble? They're just some Void True Gods, we can kill them with a flick of our wrist."

He threw a punch at Giant Axe and the others in the arena.

Seeing this, Yan Yong was extremely anxious. His outstretched left hand instantly expanded countless times, transforming into a giant dragon claw that shattered the fist imprint of the King of Li. Then, he flipped his hand and picked up the giant axe.

"There are indeed people you value among this group of trash." King Li's expression was gloomy as he threw a punch at the Heavenly Dragon clone.

"You can't take my people away."

For so many years, no one has been able to take the person away from him, and no one has even dared to accept the person who fled from the Li Kingdom.

Who is this person who dares to come to our door demanding our lives?

The human youth, who was the incarnation of the Heavenly Dragon, shattered the fist imprint that King Li had thrown with a flick of his right sleeve.

The two second-realm god-kings faced off from a distance.

"You certainly have guts." A smile appeared on Li Wang's handsome face, as if he greatly admired the Heavenly Dragon clone.

"In all these years, you are the first one to come knocking on my door asking me for people. Other god-kings, even their personal disciples, have all pretended not to know that they have fallen into my hands."

"You've encountered this today, haven't you?" The Heavenly Dragon clone said with a smile, his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky with a leisurely expression.

"You're quite the man." The smile on King Li's lips turned cold. "Since you've disrupted my banquet, you'll have to pay for it."

King Li's figure rapidly ascended into the air, his form changing as a pair of fleshy wings tore through his clothes from behind.

Two sharp horns sprouted from the top of his head, his muscles expanded rapidly, and new hands grew from his ribs.

His once handsome face was now replaced by a face full of fat; this was the true face of King Li.

A blood demon, no wonder it's so bloodthirsty.

Having just exchanged blows twice, King Li knew that the Heavenly Dragon clone was a second-realm God King, and that he would need to go all out to kill a second-realm God King.

"Aren't you going to reveal your true form yet?" King Li stood leisurely in the void, waiting for the Heavenly Dragon clone to transform.

"I don't even need to transform to kill you." The Heavenly Dragon clone said, thrusting out his right palm, which transformed into a giant dragon claw.

"You're courting death." King Li felt slighted and his divine power began to burn. His figure flashed quickly and he instantly arrived beside the Heavenly Dragon clone.

The two quickly began exchanging blows in mid-air, using fists, palms, fingers, and legs.

"I have four hands, how can you possibly defeat me?" King Li's expression was ferocious, and his moves became even more complex.

"You only have four hands, but I have a thousand." The young man, who was the clone of the Heavenly Dragon, swept his hands across a blur of shadows, and in an instant, his body seemed to have a thousand hands.

"No, impossible!" King Li was shocked, and his four-handed attack faltered.

bang bang bang~

The thousand-handed phantoms behind the Heavenly Dragon clone quickly gathered together and transformed back into two hands. Then, with a single palm strike, it instantly shattered the defensive line formed by the four hands of the King of Li and sent him flying.

puff~

The King Li, who was sent flying backward, spat out a line of blood in mid-air, indicating that his injuries were serious.

"That's all. I thought the King Li, who was so famous on the mainland, was really that capable. It seems that seeing is believing." The Heavenly Dragon clone said coldly.

King Li clutched his chest; that palm strike had nearly shattered his divine body, even leaving a slight crack in his heart, the heart of a true god.

"Who exactly are you?" King Li shouted, pointing at the Heavenly Dragon's avatar. "Do you know that my teacher is the ruler of the Thunder Kingdom?"

"You've already been expelled from the sect, yet you still dare to act under the king's name. You're courting death." After saying this, the Heavenly Dragon clone lunged forward again, his hands transforming into dragon claws that tore through the void.

"Are you from the Thunder Kingdom? Did your teacher send you?" King Li's expression changed drastically, his composure turning into panic.

A burst of black light shot out from his body, forming a pitch-black wall.

On the wall, countless divine spirits bared their fangs and brandished their claws, trying to keep all attacks outside.

"Hahaha~ This Wall of Despair is still usable. You are not from the Thunder Kingdom." Looking at the black Wall of Despair in the void, King Li's worries turned to joy.

"You're going to die." King Li flipped his hand, and a black token appeared in his palm.

"Teacher, someone is impersonating someone from the Thunder Kingdom and wants to kill me. Please save my life!"

Suddenly, the jet-black token shone with a bright blue light, and a bolt of lightning nearly 100,000 light-years thick shot out from the token.

Soon, the lightning coalesced into the figure of a towering lightning giant in the void.

"How dare you! Stop now!" The lightning giant looked down at the Heavenly Dragon clone, looking down on it with the contempt of a god.

"Very well..." The Heavenly Dragon clone laughed and withdrew the dragon claw it had unleashed. "For the sake of the king, I will let him go."

"Hmph, do you know that King Li is my disciple?" The lightning giant was still dissatisfied, glaring at the Heavenly Dragon clone.

"I only know that King Li is disliked by the Thunder King and has been expelled from your sect by you," the Heavenly Dragon clone replied.

"Even if he is a disciple I expelled from the sect, he is still my disciple. How dare you kill him?" The Thunder King snorted coldly, and a bolt of lightning shot out from his nostrils, attacking the Heavenly Dragon clone.

Rumble~

The lightning struck the Heavenly Dragon's clone.

The Heavenly Dragon clone flew out horizontally, scattering several fragments of objects glowing with fiery red light.

"Hmm?" The thunder giant suddenly became curious and reached out to gather the fiery red fragments.

"These scales?" The thunder giant examined them carefully.

"Hahaha~" Thunderous Absolute suddenly burst into laughter.

"I never expected that the life nurtured by that Flaming Mountain would be you." The Thunder King's eyes flashed with light.

"I've been searching for it for years without success, but I never expected it to come to me today." The Thunder King still maintained his aloof and indifferent demeanor.

However, the surrounding lightning bolts blocked the Heavenly Dragon clone's retreat, showing that the other party's heart was not truly unmoved.

The Heavenly Dragon clone was completely bewildered upon hearing this.

The Heavenly Dragon's clone is clearly a special life form nurtured by the primordial universe, so how come the Thunder King says that the life form nurtured by the Flaming Mountain is himself?

Although he had been to the Flaming Mountain, he did feel that it was different from other places, and he even broke through to the God King realm after only a short period of cultivation there.

That place was indeed his treasure land, but what did it have to do with nurturing the Heavenly Dragon's avatar? (End of Chapter)
