Swallowing the Stars: Primordial Heavenly Dragon

Chapter 38 Becoming an Apprentice of the Original Ancestor

The sea of ​​fire surged up again, engulfing the entire black hole space where the twenty-story sky bridge was located.

"The 20th floor of the Sky Bridge is the highest level before you fully comprehend space. Your laws no longer have an advantage." The mysterious figure also unleashed a vast and boundless sea of ​​fire to compete with Yan Yong for control of this space.

Seeing that the sea of ​​fire could not suppress his opponent, Yan Yong had no choice but to engage in hand-to-hand combat.

The mysterious man dodged the attack of the fiery dragon, teleported to Yan Yong's side, and slammed down his giant axe.

"when."

The halberd swept across the sky, blocking the giant axe.

"Splash!"

The giant axe slashed down the shaft of the halberd towards Yan Yong's hand holding it.

Left with no other choice, Yan Yong could only twist his body and reverse his halberd to avoid the attack. The mysterious man pressed on relentlessly, his giant axe slashing towards Yan Yong's waist. The fierce laws of fire scorched the entire axe blade until it glowed red-hot.

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Yan Yong also quickly unleashed his power, sending out a fiery dragon to exchange blows for injury, before retreating rapidly to create distance.

"You won't be so lucky next time." With a flick of his mysterious left hand, an even more exaggerated sea of ​​fire surged forth, forcing Yan Yong into a corner with nowhere to retreat.

"The outcome will be decided in the next encounter; Yan Yong has no way to avoid it now," the cosmic venerables watching from the outside said in unison.

Within the black hole space, the gatekeeper immediately rushed forward with a giant axe. The swing of the giant axe carried a strange fluctuation that suppressed Yan Yong's Fire Void Law, making it difficult for him to operate smoothly.

"It's here, this is the feeling." Yan Yong felt the strange 'Axe Wave' once again.

Unfortunately, even though he sensed this fluctuation, Yan Yong still failed to awaken the 'fighting spirit' hidden within his body and engage in battle.

The giant axe pressed down again, and Yan Yong had no choice but to raise his halberd to block it.

"Die." The mysterious man changed his giant axe from slashing to stabbing, bypassed the halberd, approached Yan Yong, and then thrust upwards.

"Pfft." An arm flew high into the air, and Yan Yong, unable to dodge in time, had his arm sliced ​​off by the mysterious man's giant axe.

"It seems that the gap between me and the 20th floor is too big. Moreover, I can't trigger that 'battle intent' in the virtual universe system. It's as if only the 'axe wave' comprehended by the lineage of the giant axe founder can be used in this virtual universe."

Knowing that victory was impossible, Yan Yong decided to stop wasting time and simply merged his halberd with the sea of ​​fire that had been created earlier, transforming into a giant fire dragon to make a final stand.

"Severing the Sea." The mysterious masked man raised the giant axe above his head with both hands and then cleaved it down fiercely, splitting the sea of ​​fire and Yan Yong within it in two.

"Phew." Having failed to cross the Tongtian Bridge, Yan Yong was teleported out of it.

"Where am I?" Although they had confirmed that they had left the plane of the Giant Axe Sky Bridge, they had not returned to the island where the previous 52 Sky Bridges were located.

……

The Skybridge plane.

"Where is he?" The group of high-ranking humans were waiting for Yan Yong to come out and greet them after he was killed by the gatekeeper. After all, they had already confirmed that a super being would take him as a disciple, and they had personally witnessed his talent today. With his talent, it was only a matter of time before he became someone of their level.

"Everyone, disperse. The other party won't come out; they've already been taken away by a super being." The Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace received an email from the Lord of Chaos City, instructing him not to wait any longer.

……

In an unknown dimension of the virtual universe, inside a majestic and profound palace.

Yan Yong stood before a towering statue, surrounded by the ten fundamental laws of the universe.

The statue depicts a slightly thin man wearing a simple white robe and a smiling face. His smile is a kind of perfection that comes from seeing through everything. Just one glance at him can bring a sense of peace to everyone's heart, filling them with a warm feeling of returning to their mother's embrace.

Four men stood beneath the statue, led by a savage with thick fingers and a wild aura, and another man wearing a golden robe, with blue scales on his head, a face resembling an Earthling, and eyes as calm as the endless starry sky.

All four of them exuded an immense aura of power, making it impossible for anyone to look them directly in the eye.

"Greetings to the four seniors." Yan Yong recognized the savage at the head of the group as the founder and chairman of his own "company," the current pillar of humanity, the "Founder of the Giant Axe." The man's unique aura left a deep impression on him.

The other three should also be the highest level of the human race, three powerful beings at the level of universe lords, so Yan Yong politely bowed first.

"Yan Yong, you're quite good." The man in the golden robe was the first to speak, praising, "To have come this far on your own, through sheer hard work and exploration, your talent is unparalleled."

"You flatter me, senior," Yan Yong said modestly.

"You don't need to be modest. My teacher noticed you the moment you first used your 'secret technique' in the virtual universe," the man with the golden cannon laughed. Now, when he recalled the man's smug look when he used the 'Sea of ​​Fire Secret Technique' to kill the Fire Wolf Clan's World Lord in the Killing Space, he found the man somewhat 'cute'.

"A teacher?" Yan Yong gradually guessed the other person's identity: someone who could stand with the founder of the giant axe, speak first, and was also a teacher, with that statue behind him. With many clues intertwined, the other person's identity was naturally obvious.

Lord of Chaos!

"That's right, it was my teacher who discovered you. My teacher is the creator of this virtual universe, and also the founder and pioneer of the peak human race." Speaking of his teacher, the Chaos City Lord couldn't help but show a trace of longing and respect on his face.

"I never imagined that my use of secret techniques in the virtual universe would alarm the original ancestor." Yan Yong was also very surprised. In his opinion, it was completely unbelievable that the virtual universe would even notice him.

With so much data to process in the virtual universe every day, how could an unknown realm lord like himself, who simply opened a killing space and was 'cultivating' secret techniques in it, possibly be noticed by the Primordial Ancestor?

"You might not be entirely willing to believe this yet," the Chaos City Lord smiled. "The 'Sea of ​​Fire Secret Technique' you first unleashed in the killing field of the virtual universe is actually the Fire-Void Fusion Law, and it's equivalent to the third level of the Beast God's inheritance of the Fire-Void Fusion Law."

"The Fire-Void Fusion Law is practiced by only a few within our human race, let alone at the third level. Every third-level expert is registered in my virtual universe system. The sudden appearance of a third-level Fire-Void Law practitioner will naturally attract the attention of the virtual universe," the Chaos City Lord continued.

"You used the Fire-Void Fusion Law and mistakenly thought it was a secret technique you created. The virtual universe system saw this clearly and could naturally see that you had never comprehended the corresponding law but were able to comprehend it on your own. You have no combat experience but can master the complete Fire Law and the extremely profound Space Law, which is equivalent to the Fire-Void Fusion Law of the third level of the Beast God inheritance. Your talent and opportunities are truly amazing."

As the Lord of Chaos City explained, Yan Yong gradually understood the ins and outs of the matter, but it was really not worth alarming the Primordial Ancestor.

However, since we've already alerted them, we shouldn't dwell on it. They're receiving us from this location now, so they probably don't intend to harm us.

"Yan Yong, your talent has impressed even your teacher. Your teacher wishes to take you as a disciple. I wonder if you are willing?" the Chaos City Lord said solemnly.

"Of course I'm willing, but I don't know where the teacher is." Yan Yong naturally knew that the Primordial Ancestor had been suppressed by the Primordial Universe, but he couldn't show it.

"Our teacher was suppressed by the primordial universe because of some things, and it is inconvenient for him to see you now. There is a statue of our teacher behind me. You can worship him." As he spoke, the four of them stood apart and made way for the statue behind them.

"Disciple Yan Yong greets Master. Master, I pray that you will soon be freed from the oppression of the primordial universe, and once again shine upon all races and awe the universe." Yan Yong obediently bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to the statue of the primordial ancestor, performing the solemn ceremony of becoming a disciple on Earth.

"Good lad, this way of becoming an apprentice is quite unique." The founder of the giant axe couldn't help but laugh. The other party's flattery was too obvious. Others would kneel down and kowtow properly when becoming an apprentice, and simply ask someone to take them on as a disciple.

"Hehe." A soft laugh came from the unknown space, and then a void force helped Yan Yong up from the ground, thus completing the apprenticeship ceremony.

"Teacher?" the other three of the four exclaimed.

Unfortunately, there has been no further response.

"Yan Yong, your teacher is currently imprisoned and unable to personally teach you. Moreover, your teacher's affairs are of great importance and cannot be easily discussed with others. Therefore, from now on, we will announce to the outside world that Giant Axe has accepted you as a disciple." The Chaos City Lord said, pointing to the Giant Axe founder beside him.

"Disciple pays respects to Master Giant Axe." Although they were only master and disciple in name, Yan Yong still bowed respectfully to Giant Axe.

"Good lad, the original ancestor shone brightly on all races and shook the universe, but my Giant Axe teacher is so simple." Giant Axe joked.

This is the first update of the day. Thank you to 'Book Friend 20210709044331087' for the monthly ticket. Thank you, brother. I'm updating early today. I'll update in the early morning whenever possible. Anyway, I'll update two chapters every day, with the latest update being 9 PM.

Finally, let me reiterate that Luo Feng's opportunities from the original story will remain unchanged, as mentioned in the synopsis; we won't steal his chances. The protagonist currently possesses three Yuan-Embryo level treasures. The Imperial Dragon Halberd, though only a Heavy Treasure level treasure, can already effortlessly amplify a level one attack. The Star Tower still needs to be comprehended and recognized as its master. The Heavenly Dragon Armor's ability to weaken attacks is stronger than the Calamity Armor, only its damage cap is lower. All of these will be upgraded later, and the upgrade difficulty won't be high.

Finally, I'm asking for votes, favorites, continued reading, and investment.
