Swallowing the Stars: Primordial Heavenly Dragon

Chapter 45 Lord of Sirius

"A remarkable genius? How remarkable?" The dissatisfaction in the Lord of Sirius's eyes was almost overflowing. "That Giant Axe has quite a few disciples, but apart from that Undying Venerable who is rather troublesome, there aren't many who have achieved anything significant."

"It is said that the human Yan Yong passed through the 19th level of the Bridge to Heaven on his first attempt to comprehend the 'Giant Axe Chaos Stele'," the immortal demon said with trepidation.

"He passed the 19th level of the 'Giant Axe Bridge to Heaven' on his first attempt to comprehend the 'Giant Axe Chaos Stele'?" The Lord of Sirius stared incredulously at the immortal demon prostrate on the ground, his eyes fixed on the other.

"Yes, he passed the nineteenth level on his first try, and was then accepted as a disciple by the Giant Axe. Moreover, according to our insider, he should have passed the 20th level by now," the Immortal of the Demon Clan added at the end.

"That giant axe bridge to heaven is said to be the most difficult bridge to cross among human bridges to heaven. Besides the understanding of the laws, there are other things involved," the Lord of Sirius pondered. "Yan Yong was able to cross 19 levels on his first attempt at comprehending the bridge to heaven. Either his understanding of the laws is heaven-defying, or his path is extremely compatible with the giant axe."

"If one's comprehension of the laws is extraordinary, one would likely be comparable to the 20th floor of an ordinary Heavenly Bridge, making one of humanity's most extraordinary geniuses. If it is a path that is extremely compatible with Giant Axe, then perhaps Giant Axe could even train a top-tier cosmic overlord."

"This child must not be allowed to live." The Lord of Sirius said viciously. "Investigate. Human geniuses all choose to go to the extraterritorial battlefields to hone their skills. We must find out which extraterritorial battlefield he is going to, at all costs, even if it means losing one or two key pieces."

"Great Lord of Sirius, it is said that Yan Yong has returned from the battlefield beyond the realm," the immortal demon said again, trembling with fear.

"What do you mean? Wasn't it said that Yan Yong was comprehending the Chaos Stele for the first time? How come he returned from the extraterritorial battlefield so quickly?" The Lord of Sirius thought that there was a delay in the other party's information.

"According to the informant's intelligence, Yan Yong retired from the extraterritorial battlefield before joining the Giant Axe Arena, so he probably won't be going back to the extraterritorial battlefield to hone his skills." Sensing the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf's dissatisfaction, the immortal voice of the demon race rose another octave.

"Damn it, they've already been to the outer battlefield. Next, they'll probably break through to Immortality. Killing them then will be a real problem," the Lord of Sirius said resentfully. "What was your intelligence department doing? Such a genius, and you only just discovered it?"

"This...this...this...Yan Yong has been hidden extremely well by the human race. Even our informants can't see any combat videos of him in the outer battlefield." The demon immortal felt the killing intent so close at hand. If he hadn't already become an immortal, with his body and soul merged into one, transforming into immortal divine power, he would probably have wet himself by now.

"We must keep a close eye on all news about Yan Yong and kill him at all costs. Put him above all other targets." The Lord of Sirius also knew that this situation could not be entirely blamed on the other party. The human race's virtual universe system was too powerful and too difficult to infiltrate. It was already quite good that they were able to report Yan Yong's news in time.

Upon receiving the order, the immortal demons felt as if they had been granted a pardon and quickly left the palace to investigate Yan Yong's whereabouts, as the pressure from the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf was simply too great.

"Where did this Yan Yong come from?" The Lord of Sirius was very puzzled.

……

"Seal!" The gatekeeper pointed at Yan Yong, who was rushing towards them at lightning speed.

An incredibly powerful, invisible force transformed into an impenetrable cage, trapping the menacing Yan Yong in mid-air. Moreover, the binding force tightened, effectively locking Yan Yong in mid-air.

"So this is the complete application of the laws of space?" The Heavenly Dragon clone in the Chaos Ruins had a glimmer of understanding after feeling himself in the virtual universe being easily suppressed by the gatekeeper using the 'seal'.

"Spatial control." Incomparably powerful spatial energy spread wildly within the Chaos Ruins, and in an instant, the entire space seemed to be locked down, making even breathing difficult.

"Junior brother, has he comprehended the laws of space?" The Chaos City Lord exclaimed in surprise as he felt the sudden burst of spatial sealing, the intensity of which was even stronger than the complete spatial sealing of an ordinary Venerable.

"Not yet. This is my innate secret technique. I just experienced the complete spatial sealing on the twenty-first floor of the Tongtian Bridge and gained some new insights into this technique," the Heavenly Dragon clone replied, shaking his head.

"Don't be impatient. Your talent and secret techniques are extremely powerful. It should only be a matter of time before you fully comprehend the laws of space. Now, don't focus on the laws of space. Solve the problem of your clones first. It would be best to find a clone with extremely strong survival abilities," the Chaos City Lord said gently.

"Yes, senior brother." The Heavenly Dragon clone nodded.

……

"Your Highness, you have already achieved something to be proud of by reaching the 21st level of the 'Giant Axe Sky Bridge' in less than 30 years. However, the power of the complete spatial laws is beyond your imagination." The gatekeeper said slowly and deliberately, his demeanor elegant and unhurried, which contradicted his wild nature.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The domineering intent of the halberd surged forth.

"How is this possible?" The gatekeeper watched in astonishment as Yan Yong gradually broke free of his restraints.

"War, war, war!"

As Yan Yong's fighting spirit surged even more fiercely, his already incredibly powerful halberd intent erupted completely, and the domineering intent caused the entire Tongtian Bridge space to tremble.

"Kill!" The once elegant and confident gatekeeper's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and his naturally flowing hair began to move with the wind as his aura rose.

The broad-bladed giant axe slashed down fiercely, unleashing an incredibly massive axe beam that shattered the space in its path.

The halberd also thrust out suddenly, and the blazing flames transformed into a fiery dragon that swept out and pounced towards the axe's edge.

"Pfft!"

The enormous axe blade shattered the raging flames, cleaved the dragon in two at the waist, and then, with its remaining force, killed Yan Yong.

Looking at Yan Yong, who had been cut in two, the gatekeeper regained his elegant yet wild demeanor and said softly, "This power of intent is probably close to the 23rd level of the Giant Axe Sky Bridge. What a terrifying talent."

……

"Junior brother, how have you considered the matter of creating clones?" Chaos Growth asked softly.

"I have an idea. The clone I need right now must be one with strong time-related laws to make up for my weakness in the time law." Yan Yong told the Chaos City Lord his thoughts.

"The Law of Time?" The Chaos City Lord thought that with Yan Yong's powerful talent for fusing the laws of fire and space, he would choose to follow the path of the Beast God, but he did not expect that the other party would choose to follow the path of time and space.

Yan Yong, who was familiar with the original work, knew that there were only two paths to become the ruler of chaos: the law of chaos and the path of bloodline. He didn't know if his body, which was formed from the supreme law, had a chance to pass through the path of bloodline, but even if he could pass through and become the ruler of chaos, the hope of becoming a god-king was slim.

However, the Law of Chaos is a path to heaven. Whether one follows the path of the Law of Spacetime or the path of the Law of Fire-Space Fusion, once one reaches the level of a World Lord and comprehends the Law of Time to the point of acknowledging the fundamental law, it will greatly accelerate subsequent comprehension.

After all, once a god becomes immortal, their divine power will be transformed into the corresponding laws they comprehend, which will be strongly rejected by other laws, thus slowing down their comprehension of those laws.

Once you gain the recognition of the fundamental laws, things will be different. You can go to the place of the fundamental laws of the universe at any time to comprehend the laws, and the speed will not decrease compared to the time when you were a world lord.

By comprehending more laws, it will be easier to obtain treasures that can only be activated by other laws.

"That's right. I'm thinking that even if I can't walk the path of the Fire and Void Laws, I can still use my clone's time-related talent to walk the path of spacetime and become the master of the universe." Yan Yong had already made some plans for his path.

"That's true. After all, the hope of navigating this path without comprehending the Heart of the Beast God is slim. It's good to leave yourself a way out." The Chaos City Lord nodded in agreement.

"Then think it over carefully. All the data in my virtual universe is open to you. If you don't have a suitable target, I can recommend one to you." The Chaos City Lord still chose to respect Yan Yong's decision. After all, it was Yan Yong's own path to choose, and it would be unseemly for him to interfere.

"Speaking of powerful special life forms, the place with the most special life forms in the entire universe is undoubtedly the Ancestral God Cult. There are all kinds of special life forms there, and perhaps you will find one that suits your taste." The Chaos City Lord thought for a moment and mentioned a place to Yan Yong.

"Moreover, the Ancestral God Cult is the largest power in the entire universe and has no conflicts of interest with any of the major races. It is the fairest place of inheritance in the entire universe. Even if the Beast God discovers that you are the Lord of the Human Realm, he will not attack you or expose your information. There, you can also comprehend the Dao of the Fire and Void Beast God. It is simply a blessed land for you."

Thank you all for your support of today's second chapter.

Some opinions and suggestions can only be used in the next book. There's really no way to use them in this one, so please bear with it.

The original text doesn't mention the disciples of the Giant Axe much, except for the Immortal Venerable who is quite famous. Let's assume that no one has mastered the "Giant Axe Intent," so the most powerful one is a cosmic overlord like the "Immortal Venerable."

Moreover, Luo Feng was targeted by the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf because of the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf's impressive feat of killing a King at the limit of his realm. Ordinary disciples of the Chaos City Lords would not even catch the eye of a Lord of the Universe.

This book has now completely evolved into a 2600-word beast, so there has been progress.

Regarding the update issue, I will try my best to improve myself. I strive to super evolve into a 3000-word beast as soon as possible.
