Swallowing the Stars: Primordial Heavenly Dragon

Chapter 98 Divine Phoenix

The treasure has been fully revealed. It looks like a seal and may be a supreme treasure of a certain domain.

Boom~

A unique life form, a mountain giant, took the initiative, its divine body spanning millions of kilometers exerting immense pressure.

Giant rocks formed from the laws of spacetime crashed down on the surrounding powerful figures.

With a flap of its wings, the phoenix's divine body, spanning 100,000 kilometers, ranked second here.

The largest of the remaining cosmic deities is a colossal star beast spanning thousands of kilometers.

The Thunderfire Domain spread out, and the domain power of the high-grade treasure bound the other powerful beings.

Rumble~

A blast of icy wind swept out, resisting Yan Yong's Thunderfire Domain. It was none other than the Ice Mountain Prison, the domain treasure of the Ice Mountain Lord, the cosmic master of the Starry Sky Beast Ice Mountain Beast.

"Wan Yan".

The ultimate secret technique created by the phoenix clone after comprehending its own innate secret method.

A blazing phoenix, propelled by purple lightning wings, took flight and charged toward the other universe lords.

Rumble~

The divine phoenix crashed into the mountain giant without causing any significant disturbance; the damage to the giant's millions of kilometers-long divine body was negligible under such an attack.

Sensing the force of the attack, the Mountain Giant turned its attention to the Iceberg Lord, unleashing a terrifying storm of rocks upon him.

Among the third-tier universe lords present, the Iceberg Lord has the largest divine body and the strongest strength. After dealing with him first, the others will be insignificant.

The Lord of the Iceberg also discovered that the Phoenix clone's combat power was only at the second tier, and thus shifted his main focus to the Mountain Giant.

"Lord of a Thousand Mountains, how about we drive the others away first and then decide the winner between the two of us?" Lord of the Ice Mountains suggested first.

Besides Yan Yong, there were four third-order universe masters and two second-order universe masters present.

"Yes." A deep, resonant voice rang out.

The ice storm and rock storm turned and attacked the other cosmic lords.

The phoenix clone folded its wings, protecting itself completely, and its lightning and fire domain contracted to a short distance to its side, adopting a defensive posture.

His strength wasn't enough to overwhelm the many universe lords present, so he wasn't in a hurry to show himself.

The other four universe lords, fighting individually, quickly found themselves at a great disadvantage.

"Let's join forces too."

Battles between the rulers of the universe are extremely long, especially when the difference in strength is not significant. A temporary disadvantage cannot quickly diminish their divine power.

"Let's join forces and drive those two away first."

The four cosmic lords joined forces to attack the Iceberg Lord and the Thousand Mountain Lord.

On the contrary, no one cared about Yan Yong anymore. His complete defensive stance indicated that the opponent's treasured armor was not particularly outstanding. Under the attack of the third tier, he could only parry and was powerless to fight back.

Rumble~

The rock storm and the ice storm were quickly defeated by the combined attack of the four cosmic lords.

The Lord of Icebergs and the Lord of Thousand Mountains knew that their advantage lay in the height of their divine bodies, so they directly burned their divine power to start the battle. As long as they forced the other party to the point that they could no longer afford to lose any more divine power, they could force the other party to retreat.

The other four cosmic lords were clearly not to be underestimated either, and they also unleashed their divine power to begin the battle.

The battle quickly escalated to a fever pitch.

……

"The Phoenix Avatar can handle the battle against only a third-tier Universe Lord." Yan Yong continued searching in another direction, which was deep within the waters of the Inclined Peak Realm. With his strength as a fourth-tier Universe Lord, this location was extremely suitable.

Yan Yong remembered that there was a tenth-order universe strongest being named "Jie Fanzi" left behind in this Qingfeng Realm water area. Although he didn't care about the secret techniques of water and fire origin, he still valued those top-level treasures.

That remaining treasure can be reached through the space created by the slaying of Wu Yuyi.

However, the exact location is unclear; only the coordinates of the Divine Eye Clan are marked. He can't very well grab a member of the Divine Eye Clan to ask for directions.

He can only search slowly in these waters; he has plenty of time anyway.

Anyway, if you find it, you'll make a fortune. If you don't find it, you can slowly try your luck in these waters. You'll eventually encounter other treasures.

……

The phoenix clone still protected itself with its wings and did not rush to join the battle.

Once divine power is ignited, the battle truly begins and everyone has to fight tooth and nail. If the fight drags on, the burning of divine power will continuously deplete it, and if other newly arrived powerhouses seize the opportunity, it will all be for someone else's benefit.

The Lord of Icebergs and the Lord of Thousand Mountains joined forces to be besieged by the other four Lords of the Universe. Although they had the advantage of divine bodies, the frequency of their attacks was the same at this level.

Therefore, their attack power will not become stronger because their divine bodies are larger or their divine power is greater.

With the cooperation of the other four Universe Lords, two third-tier Universe Lords were responsible for repelling their attacks, while the other two second-tier Universe Lords were responsible for launching attacks during the gaps in the fighting, striking the Iceberg Lord and the other two with ultimate secret techniques.

However, a large divine body also has its advantages. The same attack will cause the same damage and consume the same amount of divine power when it hits a divine body. A large divine body has more divine power and can withstand more damage.

Therefore, the two of them did not pay too much attention to this loss of divine power for the time being.

The phoenix clone glanced at the situation and found that even though the Iceberg Lord and the Thousand Mountain Lord were mostly on the defensive and had fewer counterattacks after being surrounded, they still had a great advantage in this war of attrition, given the size difference in their divine bodies.

"唳~"

The phoenix clone also ignited its divine power and launched another attack, aiming to weaken the divine power of the last person left to compete with it for the treasure to a certain extent.

The divine bird, wreathed in blazing flames, suddenly swooped down upon the Lord of a Thousand Mountains.

This rock-like life form has the largest volume, and it mainly consumes the Lord of a Thousand Mountains.

Rumble~

The Flame Bird, carrying a strange power, slammed into the Lord of a Thousand Mountains. This attack seemed to carry something different from the power of ordinary laws, directly causing the divine body, which spanned millions of kilometers, to lean back.

Yan Yong had already comprehended a trace of the essence of flame when he conceived the phoenix clone, but he had never had a suitable secret technique to use it.

Later, during his enlightenment at Mount Hua, he gained a deeper understanding of this primordial power and even grasped a trace of the origin of life.

The ultimate secret technique created by the Phoenix clone through comprehending its innate secret technique "Ten Thousand Flames" is a rough application of these two origins, and it is also its only ultimate secret technique that is not a halberd-type secret technique.

The mountain giant quickly adjusted its posture, stood up, and aimed at Yan Yong.

With a single stomp, it aimed to crush the attacking bird to death; its divine body, spanning millions of kilometers, exuded immense pressure.

The phoenix clone spread its wings, the Purple Lightning Cloud Wings being a supreme treasure among wings, extremely fast, and directly dodged the clumsy attack.

The Fiery Phoenix rose rapidly from its phoenix clone once more, tearing through space and striking the mountain giant millions of kilometers away, returning the blow to the Lord of a Thousand Mountains.

Rumble~

The intensely burning flames caused the Lord of a Thousand Mountains great discomfort. The flames were extremely powerful, and once they stuck to his body, they began to burn his divine body intensely, causing his divine body to be consumed at an extremely rapid rate.

Fortunately, his divine body was extremely large, so the damage to his body from the attacks of the Blazing Phoenix was not unacceptable; it was just very troublesome.

Rumble~

While the Lord of Thousand Mountains was distracted by dealing with the Phoenix clone, the other four Universe Lords were not to be underestimated. Taking advantage of this opening, they continuously unleashed their strongest moves on the Lord of Thousand Mountains, forcing him to retreat again and again.

The intense divine power bombarded the giant, generating a violent energy shock and explosion. The mountain giant could only focus its energy on facing the attacks of the four cosmic lords head-on once again.

The battle lasted for quite a while. Seeing that the mountain giant's divine body had such a great advantage, and that his divine power had not weakened even after being directly hit, the Ice Mountain Lord began to have some ulterior motives.

The Lord of the Iceberg deliberately controlled his battle rhythm, fighting and retreating at the same time, eventually retreating behind the mountain giants that stretched for millions of kilometers.

Although the Lord of the Universe has a very large battle range, his divine body, spanning millions of kilometers, can still conceal some of it.

Yan Yong immediately understood the Iceberg Lord's plan, and the other party also realized that the Mountain Giant had an absolute physical suppression over all the powerful figures present.

After the Lord of the Iceberg intentionally withdrew from the battle, the divine attacks of the four Lords of the Universe were mainly focused on the Mountain Giant, causing it to retreat continuously.

The primordial universe was very fair. These colossal mountain giants were already quite clumsy in terms of movement and agility. Now, after being attacked by the Lord of the Universe, they were even more unable to fight back and were constantly on the defensive.

However, the mountain giant's divine body was enormous, and the current losses were not yet enough to force him to retreat. He simply kept trying to launch a counterattack, but the waves of rock storms kept rising up and being defeated by other powerful beings. Then, violent attacks pounded on his body, forcing him to retreat continuously.

"Iceberg, help me," the Lord of a Thousand Mountains said with difficulty.

"I'm coming right now." The Lord of Icebergs slowly flew out from behind the Lord of Thousand Mountains, only to be knocked back by a series of divine attacks. This time, the speed at which he was knocked back was far greater than before. In fact, during his violent retreat, the icy storm "accidentally grazed" his opponent.

"Roar~"

The Lord of a Thousand Mountains also sensed something was wrong. This Lord of the Ice Mountain was not at this level before; he could easily take on two opponents at once. Now, he was easily defeated and was hiding behind him.

"A cunning behemoth of the starry sky," the Lord of a Thousand Mountains said unwillingly.

But there's not much that can be done about this situation.

His divine body was simply too large, and his movement speed was too slow, making him an easy target.

"Hmph~" Seeing that he had been discovered, the Lord of Icebergs no longer hid and unleashed a storm of ice directly on the mountain giant.

The situation immediately turned into a six-on-one fight, with the other six universe lords taking the blows and the Thousand Mountains Lord taking the hits.

As time went by, the battle had been going on for a long time.

"This Lord of a Thousand Mountains is too powerful, I'm withdrawing." A smaller-sized cosmic lord chose to withdraw from the battle.

This battle has lasted for so long. Apart from the initial mutual depletion of love, the Lord of Thousand Mountains has been the one taking the hits almost the entire time. Their only loss has been burning their divine power.

Even so, he couldn't withstand such losses, but the Lord of a Thousand Mountains' divine body was depleted much less rapidly than theirs. If he continued to consume the resources, he wouldn't be able to obtain any treasures, so he chose to withdraw from the battle.

"Roar~" The Lord of a Thousand Mountains roared triumphantly and continued to unleash the Rock Storm to fight the remaining powerful warriors.

"I'm quitting too."

Once someone starts giving up, the rest of the group will give up even faster.

Soon, only the Phoenix Avatar, the Lord of Thousand Mountains, and the Lord of Icebergs remained as three Universe Lords.

"Aren't you going to retreat?" The Lord of Thousand Mountains said smugly as he saw the other universe lords withdrawing from the competition.

The Lord of the Iceberg gritted his teeth and did not retreat immediately; his divine body, spanning thousands of kilometers, could still withstand the strain.

"What's with the arrogance? Let the Heavenly Dragon clone show you what true power is." The Phoenix clone sneered slightly.

Yan Yong's Heavenly Dragon Avatar is 100 million kilometers long. It is the only flesh-and-blood life form of such a massive size in the original universe, except for the Nine Netherworlds. Its movement speed and agility are also quite good. It can be described as a perfect special life form.

The Lord of Icebergs and the Phoenix Avatar remained silent, but instead cooperated tacitly to continue their combined attack on the Lord of Thousand Mountains.

With only two people remaining, the Lord of Thousand Mountains felt less pressure and launched more counterattacks.

Although the long battle had taken a toll on his divine power, the fact that he now only had two opponents greatly boosted his confidence. Given the size difference between the three divine bodies, he had the best chance of winning.

"Wan Yan"

A fiery phoenix flew out and slammed into the mountain giant, expressing its firm stance.

The Lord of a Thousand Mountains mustered all his strength to withstand the attack and quickly summoned a storm of rocks in retaliation.

Rumble~

Countless giant rocks composed of the laws of space and time crashed heavily onto the phoenix clone.

Phoenix

Blazing flames erupted from the phoenix avatar, drawing in countless chaotic currents of energy. The previously depleted divine power surged back up, its aura rising until it returned to its peak state.

"Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix"

The phoenix clone ignited its divine power, transforming into a fiery divine phoenix. The surrounding chaotic energy was ignited by this powerful divine aura, which, together with the 'Phoenix,' became nourishment for the phoenix clone.

This move is the strongest innate secret technique bestowed by the primordial universe, with power reaching the fourth tier. It is an attack launched by igniting all the divine power in one's body, making its power far exceed that of ordinary fourth-tier secret techniques.

If another cosmic ruler were to use this move, it would be like killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of your own.

However, the Phoenix clone possesses the innate secret technique "Phoenix" which allows it to continuously replenish its divine power, making it essentially free for him to unleash this attack.

The phoenix clone, no longer holding back, activated the third level of the Beast God Armor, unleashing a surge of power trillions of times that of a peak World Lord, comparable to the level of a thousand times the divine power of a Gene Universe Lord burning divine power. With the added blessing of the power of the Flame Origin, the power of this move was extremely close to that of a fifth-order secret technique.

Rumble~

The phoenix clone, transformed into a fiery divine phoenix, directly pounced on the mountain giant spanning millions of kilometers, knocking it to the ground and splashing countless streams of water. Its entire body burst into intense flames, continuously burning and devouring the giant's divine body.

"Roar~"
