Swallowing the Stars: Primordial Heavenly Dragon

Chapter 26 Realm Lord's Iron Spear

"Master, the Giant Axe Arena has sent you information on your first opponent. He is the Iron Spear Realm Master from the 'Noren Universe Kingdom.' He has already achieved 18 consecutive victories and is skilled in the Law of Metal and spear techniques." The catgirl, perched on Yan Yong's shoulder, projected the opponent's information onto Yan Yong's face with her finger.

"Hmm... Don't release information about opponents of this level next time." Yan Yong said to Xiao Ye with disdain, looking at the video of the 'Iron Spear World Master' who had a hard-fought victory in the previous round.

"Make me a fifth-tier Force halberd and a set of fifth-tier defensive armor, both styled like my Imperial Dragon Halberd." The competition three days later is a battle between World Lords; using such powerful treasures would be too unfair.

Even without using the three companion treasures, Yan Yong already possesses the combat power of a Marquis with the power of a peak Realm Lord, which is a thousand times greater than his own. In addition, his top-level secret technique can amplify his power by one level, allowing him to reach the level of a King. Finally, the newly acquired Amplification Secret Technique can amplify his power by eighty times. He is definitely a strongman among the peak Kings. Fighting a Realm Lord-level opponent is like shoving a fish in a pond.

It should be noted that even the realm lord of the original secret realm of the Virtual Universe Company may not have the combat power of a Marquis.

Three days later, at the Giant Axe Arena, Cosmic Headquarters Cosmic Zone, Cosmic Arena C18.

"First up is Iron Spear, a powerful warrior from the Norren Universe Kingdom. Iron Spear has achieved an 18-game winning streak, which is quite an impressive record in the arena. Today is his nineteenth match. Can Iron Spear defend his title and achieve his nineteenth consecutive victory?" The arena's host began to stir up the atmosphere, as the arena also needed to make money from ticket sales, and a dull match wouldn't attract an audience.

A golden light flashed, and the Iron Spear Realm Master transformed into a towering giant spear, which pierced the arena stage, eliciting cheers from the crowd.

"Keep it up, Iron Gun!"

"Iron Spear took down the newbie, you're the best."

"Look at our rookie, don't let him piss his pants in fear," a member of the audience booed.

Those who could come to the Giant Axe Arena's Universe Headquarters to watch the matches were either powerful individuals or had powerful backgrounds, so they were naturally not afraid of the Realm Lord's retaliation, and laughter rose and fell.

Yan Yong swore that if it weren't for the rule against hitting spectators during a match, he would have definitely asked the referee for an extra match to show some spectators who would be scared out of their wits.

"How dare they underestimate me? I'd better make sure I look my best when I appear on stage later." Yan Yong gritted his teeth.

"Next up is a rookie participating in a martial arts competition for the first time, the Fire Dragon Realm Lord from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom." The commentator naturally exaggerated to create excitement, so he belittled the newcomer first, so that if there was an upset later, it would be another gimmick.

"In his first martial arts tournament, he's already encountered a super strong player who has achieved an 18-game winning streak. Will our rookie achieve his first victory today or face his last? Let's wait and see. Welcome, Rookie Fire Dragon!" the commentator continued.

"hold head high."

A giant fire dragon roared out, circled the entire arena once, and then pounced on the center of the arena. After landing, it raised its head and let out a dragon roar towards the sky.

"He's so cool! I've fallen for this rookie. Maybe he can actually win." Laymen can only watch the excitement, but Yan Yong's grand entrance naturally attracted the audience.

Those in the know have already shut up, especially those who had just mocked Yan Yong; they've already quietly slipped away.

"You can't see me, you can't see me." A spectator crouched down, covered his head, and quietly left the audience.

It took the audience member a long time to turn around and check if Yan Yong had noticed him.

He turned around and saw Yan Yong giving him a clean smile.

"It's over." That was the last thought in the audience member's mind before he fainted.

"Oh, the Fire Dragon Realm Lord's dashing entrance has startled one of the Realm Lords." The commentator also noticed this scene on the sidelines.

However, he no longer referred to Yan Yong as a rookie, but instead addressed him with a hint of respect as the Lord of the Fire Dragon Realm.

The atmosphere at the scene rose to another level, with cheers rising and falling, pushing the fight to its climax.

The Iron Spear Realm Master standing opposite Yan Yong was already deathly pale. He knew that he had no chance at all in this match.

"A realm lord who is about to master the complete laws of fire." Iron Spear was sweating profusely.

Why not guess that Yan Yong has already mastered the complete laws of fire? Because once you master a complete law, you will break through to immortality; that's common sense.

"Both sides are in position, the fight begins." The referee waved and left the arena.

"Make your move, or you won't have a chance at all," Yan Yong said to the iron spear while standing with his halberd held horizontally.

"Alright, dying at the hands of a powerhouse about to break through to immortality is not a disgrace to me. It's just that I'm still unwilling. Why did I have to meet you so soon?" Iron Spear was unwilling, but he still accepted it calmly.

The rules of the Giant Axe Arena do not change according to individual will. Rather than losing the match in an ugly way and being killed on the spot by the arena for provocation, it is better to struggle and maybe the opponent will be caught off guard and lose.

The Iron Spear Realm Master held up his spear, pointing it directly at Yan Yong. The next second, his entire body seemed to be about to pierce the sky like a spear.

"Body and mind in harmony, man and gun as one." This phrase popped into Yan Yong's mind.

"It seems that a video alone cannot fully demonstrate the strength of a powerful individual."

"Ding!"

The Iron Spear Realm Master and his spear transformed into a golden light, piercing straight at Yan Yong.

"The Iron Spear Realm Master's first move was a fatal blow, the Golden Thread Spear. This move brought out the sharpness of the Law of Metal to its extreme, as if it could pierce through everything."

The Iron Spear Master's spear was incredibly fast, but the commentator's mouth was even faster.

Faced with the unstoppable golden spear thrust, Yan Yong slightly closed his eyes and swung his halberd horizontally upwards to block the path of the golden spear's piercing.

"Thump." The golden spear pierced the halberd fiercely but could not advance an inch. The golden law that had originally gathered at a point began to spread outwards, and golden light overflowed.

The fire elemental energy swirling around the halberd remained completely unaffected.

"It's been blocked! The Iron Spear Realm Lord's strongest attack was easily blocked by the Fire Dragon Realm Lord. Just how strong is the Fire Dragon Realm Lord?" The commentator's lips moved rapidly as he reported the battle, completely igniting the atmosphere in the arena.

"You're quite remarkable. If you hadn't met me, you would have achieved far more than this," Yan Yong exclaimed. The other person was the first human being in the universe he had encountered who had reached the state of oneness with the universe.

Even those at the pinnacle of kingship in the outer battlefields don't possess this kind of mindset.

"Let him rest here for now." Yan Yong looked at the Iron Spear Realm Master with a hint of appreciation, then with a wave of his halberd, flames engulfed the Law of Metal and the Iron Spear Realm Master.

The state of harmony between humanity and nature is extremely rare, even among the Earth lineage that excels in cultivating the mind.

Although in the original Earth story it is said that to comprehend a cultivation realm one must reach the state of oneness with heaven and earth and make a breakthrough, it is actually because Earth lacks secret manuals for cultivation realms.

Most powerful beings in the universe do not comprehend domains from the state of oneness with heaven and man. For example, Luo Feng's Golden Horned Beast naturally possessed a domain when it broke through to the universe level.

In the universe, one can naturally comprehend a realm simply by achieving a harmonious state of primal force, mental power, body, and will.

After Earth's secrets were exposed, Hong also said that most of the strong people in the universe were not even as good as the "God of War" on Earth in terms of mental state.

This demonstrates the difficulty and rarity of achieving harmony between humanity and nature.

Yan Yong has not yet reached the state of harmony between man and nature.

"Instant kill! Iron Spear was instantly killed by Lord Fire Dragon!" The commentator was full of passion, as if he himself had instantly killed Lord Iron Spear.

"Whoosh."

A wave of cheers rose and fell from the crowd.

"The fire dragon is too strong, the fire dragon is invincible."

"The fire dragon is invincible, the fire dragon is ever victorious."

This stands in stark contrast to the initial skepticism.

Looking at the Iron Spear Realm Master's corpse lying quietly on the arena, Yan Yong shook his head slightly and sighed with regret.

If Yan Yong had just arrived in this universe, he might have hesitated and considered whether killing his opponent was reasonable. But after thousands of years of training, Yan Yong, if not decisive in killing, would at least not easily change his mind about the goal he had set from the beginning.

Anyone who comes to the Giant Axe Arena to participate in the martial arts competition should be prepared to die in battle.
