Swallowing the Stars: Primordial Heavenly Dragon

Chapter 85: Fighting the Lord of the Witch Kingdom

As the old generation gives way to the new, a new Venerable has emerged in the Hongmeng Alliance, and now he is standing with them, vying for the treasure.

Qianwu, who became a cosmic venerable one countless eons ago, can be said to be one of the oldest venerable ones among humankind. The Qianwu Cosmic Kingdom is also one of the oldest cosmic kingdoms among humankind.

He originally thought this was just the beginning of his career as a powerful figure, but he never expected it to be the peak of his life. After going around in circles and dying several times in his attempts to break into the secret realm, he was reduced to having to compete with ordinary Venerables for precious treasures.

Even Yan Yong, who only joined the core layer of the Giant Axe Arena seven thousand years ago, has now been promoted to a Universe Venerable and has the strength of a top-tier Universe Overlord.

They already knew about the battle between the Golden Dragon King and the Lord of the Sirius. After all, there was no need for the alien races to keep this information from their own people. The Lord of the Sirius would definitely not keep Yan Yong's secret and would try every means to get the other two races to target Yan Yong.

"Hahaha, does the Lord of Qianwu Kingdom, a high-level cosmic venerable, actually take a fancy to an ordinary treasure?" Yan Yong laughed loudly. He knew of the Lord of Qianwu Kingdom's reputation as the top cosmic lord, but the Lord of Qianwu Kingdom did not know that he did.

"Alas, I also have my own unspeakable difficulties," the King of Qianwu said helplessly. It was normal for Yan Yong to be unaware of some of his past at his age. He was well-liked, so no one would spread rumors that he owed the tribe a lot of debts. Therefore, he was not angry.

"Since the king has also taken a liking to this treasure, then I dare not compete with you." Yan Yong said with a smile. If a high-level Venerable like Qian Wu is vying for a precious treasure, then Zhou Heng's clone is no match for him, and there is no need to summon the Phoenix clone to bully the 'honest man'.

"There's no need for that. We can each rely on our own abilities." The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom was also embarrassed.

Although he had no shortage of ordinary treasures, he lacked the resources to compete for supreme treasures, so he could only seize treasures one by one to pay off his debts.

So he came to this secret realm, which posed little danger to him, and swallowed his pride to compete with a group of ordinary Venerables for an ordinary treasure.

Although the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom said that, Yan Yong would not really compete with him. Since he had already given up, he might as well help him out.

After waiting quietly, the precious treasure was finally revealed.

Upon seeing this, the ruler of Qianwu immediately drew his longsword and charged forward. With a flash of sword light, boundless sword energy spread across the sky.

Rumble~

The sword light slashed at some of the Venerables who were vying with Qianwu for the treasure, tearing apart their defensive secrets with a single strike, and then the sword light continued to strike.

Some Venerables without top-tier heavy armor were directly forced to withdraw from the battle; if they continued to fight, they would likely be killed on the spot by the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler.

"Damn it, how could such a veteran high-level Venerable be involved in the competition for this treasure?" The powerful figures all clutched their wounded bodies and retreated frantically, fearing that they would become the target of further attacks.

"It seems I don't need to take action. Fine, I'll just pick up a couple of injured Invincible Kings and give them a good thrashing." Yan Yong raised his halberd and charged towards one of the heavily injured Invincible Kings from another race.

This alien deity was the smallest, and it suffered considerable damage when it directly faced the sword light of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler.

Seeing Yan Yong charging straight at him, he was terrified and turned to flee.

"Humans, I have already given up on the treasure, why do you still slaughter us all?" the alien shouted fiercely.

"Who said I'm human?" With a flourish, his enormous divine body, spanning over 700 kilometers, was revealed, highlighting his unique life form.

Special life forms, with divine bodies and auras only 6000 million times that of a peak world lord, this is the battle between invincible kings. No one will continue to blame humanity, nor will it lead to the infighting between the strong and the weak between the two major forces.

"Damn it." He knew he was being targeted, and honestly, he would have made the same choice if he were in that situation.

"That Jiushan clan is finished. Kill them and seize their treasure." The other cosmic venerables around them immediately reacted when they saw Yan Yong chasing down the invincible king of the Jiushan clan.

The opportunities in the secret realm are not limited to the treasures that are spontaneously generated within the realm itself; the treasures of the injured powerful individuals are even greater opportunities.

Seeing this, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was not in a hurry to make a move. It was a bit unreasonable for a high-level Venerable to snatch a treasure belonging to a king who was invincible, but no one could criticize him for snatching an unclaimed treasure.

Yan Yong swung his halberd, and a bolt of lightning transformed into a blade of light, hurtling towards the King of the Jiushan Clan.

This is the innate secret technique of the Eternal Avatar, "Thunderous Heavenly Blade".

puff~

The blade's edge pierced his body, and the power of thunder exploded directly on the King of the Jiushan Clan, continuously annihilating his immortal divine power.

Fortunately, the Nagushan clan possessed a powerful protective treasure, and having been trapped in the King of Invincible Realm for many years, they still managed to create a secret technique comparable to that of a Universe Venerable, especially one with extremely strong life-saving abilities.

However, no matter how strong his survival skills were, it was all in vain. When he became the target of all the powerful people present, his demise was already sealed.

Rumble~

A barrage of attacks struck the Hatoyama clan, instantly shattering their divine bodies. In an instant, the Hatoyama clan's kingship treasures flew everywhere, the world ring exploded, and the various rare treasures hidden inside also danced in the air.

Yan Yong focused his attention on the most valuable armor-type treasure and attacked it, ignoring the other treasures.

The powerful warriors from other races also charged toward their respective targets.

Whoosh~

Thousands of sword lights flashed past again, and the powerful figures vying for the crowning treasure of the Jiushan clan all shuddered and quickly retreated.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom swiftly arrived and took all the treasures. However, he did not try to snatch them from Yan Yong. Instead, he forced Yan Yong's opponent back with a single sword strike. They were both powerful figures from the Hong Alliance, and the other party had brought him such a great opportunity. It was simply a matter of helping each other out.

"As expected, what the netizens said is right. Qianwu is just poor, not incompetent." This time, after experiencing the sword light up close, Yan Yong was even more certain of Qianwu Venerable's strength. His strength was among the stronger ones in the old-brand high-level Venerables. No wonder he was in debt for treasure points.

After putting away the armor and thanking the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, Zhouheng's clone left the place.

Time flies, and a few years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Yan Yong, the true form of the central continent, also arrived at the foot of that tower.

However, this time he did not easily touch the spatial turbulence beneath the tower. He could feel the powerful spatial cutting ability of the spatial turbulence from afar, and rashly touching it would probably result in a terrible death.

Yan Yong flew along the tower, trying to find the entrance to enter it.

"Golden Dragon, you seem quite interested in this divine tower." The Savage Beast Venerable asked as he saw Yan Yong lingering around the divine tower.

"Indeed, isn't it because of this divine tower that your world was destroyed?" Yan Yong looked at the spatial turbulence flowing out from under the divine tower and guessed that this divine tower was the root cause of the entire Wei world's cycle of reincarnation.

"How could we not know this?" the savage beast venerable sighed. "It was written in the ancient prophecy that the birth of the divine tower would mark the beginning of the world's second cycle of reincarnation."

On the very day that divine tower appeared, our six generals tried to stop it, but it was like moths to a flame; two powerful warriors have already sacrificed themselves. If there had been even the slightest hope, we wouldn't have sought your legacy to leave for future generations.

They also want to inherit the skills to try and break through, but it's obvious to anyone that there's no way there will be a "kind person" to help them break through.

Only by exchanging for the future can the people of the future have no competition with the people of the present. By the time the people of the future are born, the outsiders in front of us will have long since turned to dust in the cycle of the outside world.

"Did your prophecies tell you how to deal with this divine tower and save the world from the cycle of reincarnation?" Yan Yong asked curiously.

"To be precise, it's not entirely a prophecy, but rather a pattern summarized by our ancient ancestors. Every cycle of the world is accompanied by the birth of this divine tower," Venerable Wild Beast said regretfully.

If the prophecy had written how to deal with the cycle of reincarnation, then the remaining four generals would have fought desperately to achieve it, rather than sitting in the palace sighing and quietly waiting for death.

He, the Savage Beast Venerable, would not stoop so low as to fawn over an outsider, hoping to move the other party and leave some lingering impression on future generations.

Yan Yong looked at the towering pagoda before him, wondering how he could make this treasure his own.

He summoned a soul servant to scout ahead, since even a human clone needs consumables to travel alone.

The soul servant bowed respectfully to Yan Yong as soon as it appeared.

"Master of the great master, your servant Avas is willing to serve you."

"Avas, try to imprint your soul mark on this tower," Yan Yong ordered expressionlessly.

He didn't want Avas to try to recognize the divine tower as his master, but rather to see if there would be any danger in imprinting his soul power on it.

Soon, Avas followed Yan Yong's instructions and used his ethereal divine power to try to imprint his soul on it.

The power of nothingness touched the divine tower without any hindrance, but it did not cause any phenomena, as if the divine tower was not a treasure and could not recognize a master.

"We've already tried this method, and it didn't work at all," the Savage Beast Venerable reminded him. He was now quite happy for this outsider to recognize the divine tower as its master; they were willing to give anything as long as it could solve the crisis of the world's cycle of reincarnation.
