Swallowing the Stars: Primordial Heavenly Dragon

Chapter 58 Assassination

Palaces of various clans lined the island, and several thousand kilometers away from Yan Yong’s residence stood an ancient mansion that resembled a beast’s den. This was the residence of the demon king Hong Lie.

However, at this moment, a cosmic venerable being sat in the highest position in this mansion.

"The alliance has ordered that I stay with you for the time being, and the news must not be leaked," Venerable Wan Hong said to King Hong Lie.

"Don't worry, I understand." King Honglie chuckled. "This time, we will make that despicable 'Fishing King' pay a heavy price. I'm in the meditation room. If you have any orders, please feel free to speak."

"Yes, go ahead." Venerable Wan Hong nodded.

After King Honglie left, Venerable Wanhong sat cross-legged at the top of the beast's nest, gazing into the distance at the open space in front of Yan Yong Palace.

"The 'Fishing King' has received so many opportunities to inherit the legacy, he must go to receive it often. I will guard this place, and I will be able to see him as soon as he goes out," Venerable Wan Hong said quietly.

……

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that I would reach the limit of the third level of inheritors with just a slight move." Yan Yong laughed happily as he saw his name ranked first on the list of third level inheritors in the Black Book.

"I don't need to worry about the laws for now. Let's head to the Ancestral Mystic Realm to find my clone. Senior Brother Chaos gave me some information, and I've made some progress on the third main battle clone."

With a plan in mind, Yan Yong left his palace and prepared to head to the square in front of the main palace of Zijing Island.

"Boom!"

In the stillness, the gates of Yan Yong Palace slowly opened, and a smiling figure walked out of the palace.

"You've come out so quickly, are you really in such a hurry to die?" Venerable Wan Hong said happily.

With each step, one travels thousands of kilometers to reach Yan Yong.

"Humans! Prepare to die!"

"I, a dignified cosmic being, sacrificed myself for you, a mere King of the Limit. You can die without regret. Fishing King."

In an instant, Venerable Wan Hong unleashed a murderous intent, his aura surging outwards, his power increasing a thousandfold, his divine body burning, and the space sealed off.

"Look! It's Venerable Wan Hong of the Hunye Clan! He's going to assassinate that human 'Golden Dragon King'!" The Venerable's actions were so dramatic that they instantly alerted the inheritors on Zijing Island.

The powerful figures from all races watched this scene with excitement, wondering whether Venerable Wan Hong would take down the Golden Dragon King first, or whether Five-Colored Aurora Lake would eliminate Venerable Wan Hong first.

Yan Yong had just closed the palace gates and was preparing to go to the Ancestral Mystic Realm to obtain a clone when he was attacked by Venerable Wan Hong.

"Boom!"

The once tranquil Five-Colored Aurora Lake above Zijing Island began to rage, and at the same time, streaks of aurora rapidly swooped down.

Venerable Wan Hong had long ago devised a way to die, and without even glancing at the aurora, he charged towards Yan Yong without looking back.

"The mission will be complete once your divine body is completely annihilated." Venerable Wan Hong crossed his hands, and a rainbow beam shot out from his four wings, striking Yan Yong directly.

"Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon!" Yan Yong's aura surged instantly, and in a flash, the power of the world was transformed into immortal divine power. Previously, in the inheritance space, Yan Yong's understanding of the laws was insufficient, and he was unable to convert all the power of the world into immortal divine power.

Now that his understanding of the laws has reached the limit of the King-level realm, he can naturally fully activate this supreme secret technique.

Soon, Yan Yong's world power was completely transformed into immortal divine power. With the blessing of a thousand times the genes, Yan Yong also possessed a divine power foundation comparable to an ordinary universe venerable, and the power of a peak world lord was one hundred million times that of a peak world lord.

"Burning Heaven." The fiery dragon transformed into a raging sea of ​​fire to block the rainbow light. With the support of the Imperial Dragon Halberd, the power of this secret technique reached the peak level of the Universe Venerable. With the addition of the halberd's intent, this secret technique reached the peak level of the Overlord.

Although he couldn't block the attack from Venerable Wan Hong's burning divine power, the subsequent damage, protected by the Heavenly Dragon Armor and the innate secret technique Dragon Guardian, did not cause any substantial harm to Yan Yong.

"What?" Venerable Wan Hong was surprised again. The data showed that Fishing King was only at the limit of King Sealing. This move would have completely destroyed an ordinary King Sealing Limiting opponent long ago. Now, the opponent was only pushed back a little, and his divine power aura did not weaken at all. Meanwhile, he would eventually exhaust his divine power because he was burning his divine power.

This is even more powerful than being crowned king and invincible.

Feng Wang Wudi was barely able to survive under the control of the Universe Venerable, but in the current situation, the opponent might very well wear him down.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

The colorful aurora fell rapidly.

Like streaks of light, they even completely locked down the surrounding space, so that even if Venerable Wan Hong broke the spatial seal now, he would not be able to teleport.

"No~~" Venerable Wan Hong roared unwillingly. The mission he was given was just to assassinate a minor King Limit expert, but he did not expect that the information was wrong and the opponent was actually an Invincible King comparable to a true Universe Venerable.

In an instant, Venerable Wan Hong was pierced by numerous aurora beams, as if pierced by a thousand arrows. Venerable Wan Hong's body was evaporated by the aurora beams like a bubble and was quickly and completely annihilated.

The colorful aurora rose into the sky once more, and Zijing Island returned to peace.

"He's dead."

"The one who died first was actually Venerable Wan Hong!" a powerful figure exclaimed in surprise.

"That Golden Dragon King was actually an invincible king-level expert, and an exceptionally powerful one at that."

"Damn it, the Fishing King is actually the Invincible King, and he's fishing again. This time he actually caught a Universe Venerable!" King Jianqiong said hatefully.

……

In the starry sky, in a space-time enveloped by countless flames of boundless power, the Lord of Sirius received the news almost simultaneously.

"What? The assassination attempt failed? Is that Fishing King invincible? Even ordinary universe venerables can't do anything to him." The Lord of Sirius gritted his teeth in anger.

His meticulously planned scheme was easily thwarted by the other side.

"Damn it, an invincible king actually pretended to be a king at the limit to fish for them." Thinking of the failed assassination attempt and being lured into a trap once again, the demon race was humiliated again, and the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf wished he could personally kill the other party.

Unfortunately, even under the protection of the Ancestral God Sect, he dared not go, otherwise he would be the one to die.

……

On Zijing Island, Yan Yong collected the treasures left behind by Venerable Wan Hong after his death. Since the other party was determined to die, he only brought one powerful offensive weapon and nothing else.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Countless figures soared into the air as human powerhouses arrived, especially the inheritors of the various cosmic venerables.

Although the Golden Dragon King withstood one wave of assassination attempts, what if other alien races continue their rampage? The same assassination attempt must not happen a second time. The Golden Dragon King is a genius and powerful human; how could he allow these alien races to run rampant?

Do they think their own race has no one to rely on?

"Golden Dragon King, are you alright?" Venerable Jiufeng asked with concern. With his status, he naturally knew that the Golden Dragon King was Yan Yong, the disciple of the founder of the Giant Axe, and the number one genius of the race throughout countless eras.

"Fortunately, I have strong survival skills, and the opponent was quickly killed by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake," Yan Yong replied.

"I've been staying in your palace for the past few years. With me here, even if an ordinary universe lord comes, I can hold them off under the protection of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake."

"Thank you, Venerable Jiufeng." Yan Yong also felt that he could not act immediately. Even under the protection of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, the other party was already desperate. If they went to the Ancestral Mystic Realm without the protection of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, the other party would be even more unscrupulous.

"I'll go back and pretend for a while, then have my other friends use the World Ring to take me to the Ancestral Mystic Realm. Once we get there, we can secretly separate." With this plan in mind, Yan Yong returned to his palace.

……

Boom~~

Time and space froze, and ten thousand bolts of lightning descended upon Yan Yong's palace on Zijing Island, startling the powerful figures from various races who were watching the spectacle.

Control time and space!

The Lord of the Universe has descended!

"The Hunye Clan's Venerable Wan Hong dared to assassinate a successor of our Ancestral God Sect and challenge the dignity of our Ancestral God Sect. From this day forward, the Hunye Clan will be deprived of the opportunity to inherit the sect. Even if Venerable Wan Hong is resurrected, he will be hunted down by our Ancestral God Sect until he can no longer be resurrected."

The Thunder Beast God's enormous divine body exuded an incomparably powerful aura, representing the Ancestral God Sect's declaration.

The assassination attempt on the inheritor wouldn't have escalated to this point, directly stripping an entire clan of its inheritance opportunity and relentlessly hunting down the assassin.

However, Yan Yong was someone the original will of the primordial universe had instructed to be carefully nurtured. He had only been here a short time and hadn't even begun to be properly nurtured before he was assassinated. It was a slap in the face to the primordial universe and to the Ancestral God Cult.

Although they knew it was the demon race that was behind it, the demon race hadn't come out in the open. Directly turning against the demon race might drive them crazy and make them even more hostile towards Yan Yong. But it was different when it came to the Hunye race, which was just an ordinary race.

Moreover, after this incident, it's unlikely that any fearless alien race would dare to try it.

"I hope all inheritors will take this as a warning and not repeat it!" warned the Thunder Beast God.

"We will obey the Beast God's command," the inheritors replied in unison.

……

"Golden Dragon King, if you wish to receive the inheritance, enter my world ring, and I will take you there," Venerable Jiufeng said as soon as we entered.

The Thunder Beast God's warning could deter ordinary inheritors, but it couldn't stop the true powerhouses of the alien races. Although the possibility of such a powerhouse taking action was almost zero, it was still best to be cautious.

"Thank you, Venerable Jiufeng. However, I plan to explore the Ancestral Mystic Realm in a while, and I would appreciate it if Venerable Jiufeng could cover for me here." Yan Yong explained his plan.

He was too embarrassed to let Venerable Jiufeng accompany him on his adventure to the Ancestral Mystic Realm. After all, if he encountered danger and perished, he could still revive with his clone. But if he tricked Venerable Jiufeng, he would have to trouble his teacher, Giant Axe, to revive him, which would be indirectly harming his teacher.

"Is there no problem? The demon race will probably continue to assassinate you. Do you want me to go with you? I am a candidate general of the Ancestral God Sect. Ordinary universe overlords are no match for me," Venerable Jiufeng suggested.

"No need," Yan Yong said with a laugh, "This trip is mainly for my own adventure and training. If I go with the Venerable One, wouldn't I be going on a vacation?" He also flattered Yan Yong.

"Haha, alright then. Anyway, I'm mainly a strong person who takes care of humans in the Ancestral God Sect. I've already received the complete inheritance of a divine general, so there's not much room for improvement. I'll just stay here and look after the courtyard for a few days," Venerable Jiufeng laughed.

"You flatter me, Venerable One. You are simply bringing good fortune to my house. With your blessings, I can also break through to the Universe Venerable level sooner," Yan Yong flattered.

After exchanging compliments, the two each chose a quiet room to rest.

P.S.: This book has been renamed Swallowing the Stars: The Primordial Heavenly Dragon. Don't worry too much about the "Supreme" or "Primordial" titles; it's for new readers anyway. Long-time readers will know this book is called The Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon.

I don't think it's necessary to get bogged down in the data for this part of the plot. The original author already omits this data, so focusing too much on it makes it impossible to calculate damage effectively. The exact difference between Immortal-level peak secret techniques and Venerable-level techniques is unclear, leading to significant inconsistencies. Therefore, it's sufficient to roughly align with the data from this period in the original work. We'll proceed with the secret technique settings from the later stages; the earlier ones have already been modified.
