Swallowing the Stars: Primordial Heavenly Dragon

Chapter 30 Completing the Trial

"Roar roar roar".

The horde of ethereal beasts, filled with boundless hatred, formed a unique formation, intent on tearing their enemy to shreds.

Yan Yong naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch his opponent prepare a powerful attack. The sea of ​​fire began to spread wildly, and the entire sky seemed to be burning as well.

The raging sea of ​​fire turned the originally unburnable smoke and dust into nothingness, and continued to engulf the horde of beasts with undiminished momentum.

"Look! There's a mysterious powerhouse confronting the beast tide!" A human realm lord who had already escaped a certain distance felt the powerful aura behind him, turned around, and shouted.

"It must be that mysterious powerhouse who slaughtered thousands of Void Beasts and caused the beast tide. He is indeed very strong." Seeing that there was no immediate danger, the other powerhouses also stopped to watch the battle.

"Isn't this the brother who just talked to me?" The snake-man powerhouse who had told Yan Yong about the beast tide recognized Yan Yong. "No wonder I felt like I'd seen him somewhere before. It's him. He killed a Void Beast King before."

"Roar roar roar".

The Void Beast Tide roared unwillingly, its powerful formation constantly squeezing out the Void Beasts' strength in an attempt to block the oncoming sea of ​​fire.

"What a pity. If I hadn't completely crushed you, it would have been me, the Lord of the Human Realm, who would have died," Yan Yong said coldly. "If you have anyone to hate, hate that you weren't born human."

He replaced the fifth-tier Force Battle Halberd he had been using with his own Imperial Dragon Halberd and slammed it down on the horde of beasts.

The originally raging sea of ​​fire suddenly transformed into a ferocious fire dragon, which crashed violently into the great formation formed by the beast tide.

"Boom!"

The fiery dragon was unstoppable. Even though the Void Beasts had tried their best, they could not stop the spread of the fire. Soon, the beasts were engulfed, and countless World Lord-level and Immortal-level Void Beasts that were positioned near the sea of ​​fire turned to ashes amidst their cries of agony.

Even so, the remaining Void Beasts continued to move towards the center, unwilling to retreat, determined to tear apart the enemy before them and fight for the right to survive for their race.

Yan Yong slaughtered thousands of Void Beasts in three days. If the slaughter is allowed to continue, the Void Beast race will be completely wiped out in no time.

The Void Beasts that came today to launch the beast tide are only the first batch, and they have already prepared to die in battle, so naturally they will not leave easily.

"Retreat immediately, and I will cease the slaughter." At the level of a World Lord, even without a common language, communication is easy. Yan Yong's words, carrying the power of the world, reached the ears of the leading few Void Beast Kings.

"roar."

After exchanging roars, the several Void Beasts led their herd away slowly, leaving only their unwilling roars echoing in the sky.

With Yan Yong's strength, no matter how much the remaining Void Beasts resisted, they would be unable to harm him in the slightest. The main purpose of this trip was to fight for the survival of the clan. Since Yan Yong had promised not to continue the slaughter, there was no point in continuing unnecessary sacrifices.

"I never imagined that a group of ferocious beasts would be willing to give up everything for the survival of their kind," Yan Yong exclaimed.

Today's events taught Yan Yong a harsh lesson: even ferocious beasts that act solely on instinct can unite and unleash power beyond comprehension when faced with the pressure of their clan's survival.

Once their rise is discovered by other races, they will inevitably face fierce attacks, especially the four major races that have territorial conflicts with humans.

Even if I give up everything to beg for mercy, the other party will not believe me. After all, I am human, and my soul essence and life force cannot be faked. No alien race would dare to take me into their group.

The Chinese nation, with its short history of only five thousand years, has been able to summarize the principle that "those who are not of our kind are bound to have different hearts." There is no reason why these alien races, who fought each other for countless ages in the primitive universe and finally stood at the top of all races, would not understand this.

Of course, Yan Yong himself was a human being in his previous life, and he is a dignified human being in this life as well, so there is no reason for him to suddenly stop being human.

With the beast tide receding, Yan Yong saw no need to remain in the Void Realm, so he turned and headed towards the exit.

"Um..." A powerful figure watched Yan Yong head towards the exit, wanting to thank him for stepping forward and solving the beast problem, but Yan Yong had already pierced the sky and disappeared into the horizon.

"Thank you." Even though Yan Yong had already walked away, these people still expressed their heartfelt gratitude.

Upon reaching the exit of the secret realm, Yan Yong encountered a human legion composed of immortals and a large number of realm lords, all of whom wore the insignia of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance on their chests.

"How's it going inside? I heard there's been a beast tide." The leader of the group possessed the strength of an immortal marquis, and it seemed he was the leader of this army.

It is clear that the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance immediately dispatched troops to suppress the beast tide and rescue the world lord examiners after learning of the outbreak.

After all, the mercenary trial is not meant to send people to their deaths. If a sudden situation like a beast tide breaks out, which exceeds the normal capacity of mercenaries, the trial must naturally be terminated.

"The beast tide has receded; a super strong expert intervened and intimidated those Void Beasts," Yan Yong said.

"Has a powerful figure already made a move?" the leader of the marquises asked in confusion, but then he received a message from the virtual universe that the beast tide had subsided, and he turned around and led his army to retreat.

Now that the beast tide has been quelled, their mission has been automatically cancelled, and the assessment continues as normal.

After handing over the assessment materials to the mercenary assessment supervisor and receiving the three-star mercenary badge, Yan Yong piloted his spaceship away, ignoring the supervisor's enthusiasm in trying to recruit him. After all, he had already received a promise from the Gray Rock Venerable of the Giant Axe Arena that he could directly join the core layer of the strongest Giant Axe Arena on this trip.

Unlike when he arrived, Yan Yong's mindset gradually changed along the way, and his will, which was originally the weakest link in his strength, was greatly enhanced.

"Not bad, you completed the test I gave you so quickly. It seems your strength is far greater than the data I collected. I wonder where this genius came from," Venerable Grayrock said with a hint of appreciation.

Venerable Grayrock did not delve any further. Everyone has their own secrets, and the secret of a Realm Lord was not enough for him to care about. Moreover, he only needed to recommend the other party to join the Giant Axe Arena to obtain a reward far exceeding the wealth of a Realm Lord.

"I originally thought your journey would take at least several decades, and I was preparing to arrange for someone to send you to Chaos City. Since you completed the trial so quickly, that's perfect. I was originally here to pick up the winners of this batch of geniuses from the Giant Axe Arena's Universal Genius Tournament and take them to Chaos City, so I'll bring you along as well."

"Wait two more days. The All-Universe Genius Battle held by my Giant Axe Arena has ended. You can go to Chaos City with this group of newcomers," said Venerable Grayrock.

"By the way, this is your reward for completing the trial, a total of 1000 million points, as your starting capital for joining my Giant Axe Martial Arts Arena's Divine Edge Secret Realm. Generally, strong individuals who join the five top forces will receive corresponding rewards. Since you entered through special channels, I have specially approved this reward for you, and I hope you will make good use of it."

"When you arrive in Chaos City, don't buy any secret techniques or treasures to enhance your strength. Focus on comprehending the laws of nature first, so you can avoid taking detours," Venerable Grayrock advised in the end.

Yan Yong was recommended by Venerable Gray Rock to join the Giant Axe Arena, so when he breaks through to become an Immortal, he will naturally join his ranks. Giving him some pointers to help him avoid detours is also a form of early investment.

"Your identity has been changed to Master of the Divine Edge Secret Realm of the Giant Axe Martial Arena, and your authority has been correspondingly upgraded. Go back and take a good look at the information first." Venerable Gray Rock waved his hand, indicating that Yan Yong could leave.

……

Inside a magnificent and mysterious hall in the virtual universe, a man in white robes appeared without warning.

"Oh? That little guy has chosen to join the Giant Axe Arena? Then let Giant Axe come back and take on a disciple on my behalf." The man said to the air in the virtual universe.

The virtual universe trembled slightly after the man spoke, then calmed down.

……

"Finally, I've joined the core layer of the Giant Axe Arena. It seems this Divine Edge Secret Realm is equivalent to the Virtual Universe Company's post-apocalyptic secret realm, with three more secret realms above it. My next goal is to break through the Realm Lord-level Primal Heavenly Mountain and become a member of the highest-ranking Giant Axe Secret Realm."

Yan Yong looked at the documents in his hand and made a plan.

The five top powers all cultivate geniuses by first entering Chaos City to comprehend the Chaos Stele, and then crossing the Heavenly Bridge.

Therefore, the Tongtian Mountain used to measure super geniuses is also shared, but since it is used within the virtual universe system, the naming rights belong to the virtual universe company.

This is the third chapter today. Thank you to the reader for the monthly pass from "Memory Fades and Lingering Warmth," thank you so much! Also, some readers asked me to write about Earth's ancient sages. I didn't originally want to write about Earth because once I did, there would be too many regrets to make up for. The Chinese nation is a nation that has suffered many hardships. History is too heavy; I don't want to touch it.

However, the first recommendation vote for this book came from this reader, so I'm asking for everyone's opinion. If everyone wants it written this way, I'll gloss over the relevant plot later.

Finally, I'm asking for your votes, to read the story, to add it to your favorites, and to invest in it.
