Swallowing the Stars, I am the Lord of the Galaxy

"The stars have been extinguished!"

Another terrifying blade of light slashed down, and Emperor Yan hastily raised his halberd to block it.

"clang!"

The Flaming Divine Halberd was knocked away again, and the remaining force of its blade continued to strike him.

"No...we have to find a way to buy time!"

A ruthless glint flashed in Yan Di's eyes, and he suddenly roared, "Coty! Do you know who's behind me? If you lay a hand on me, can you bear the consequences?"

Koti sneered upon hearing this: "Oh? Isn't the Mountain Clan behind you?"

"You, you know this and you still dare to do this? Aren't you afraid my teacher will retaliate against you?"

"Hahaha!"

Coty laughed.

"So what if I'm a mountain dweller? My teacher, the Star Palace Master, is also one of the strongest beings in the universe! Do you think I'm afraid?"

Xingchen had always told him that he should not hesitate to attack anyone, because he was there for him!

That's how domineering it is.

Over time, this fostered Coty's reckless and fearless personality. Whenever he made a move, he would go all out, regardless of who was behind him!

He's not without backing!

As he spoke, he once again manipulated the Star River Palace to crash into Emperor Yan.

"boom!"

Emperor Yan was sent flying backward by the impact, losing 18% of his divine body. Despair filled his heart; was the Mountain-Sitting Guest really not coming?

Just as Cotti was about to make another move, something unexpected happened!

"Om-"

The entire starry sky suddenly froze; time and space seemed to stand still. To Koti's shock, he found himself completely immobilized!

The next moment, the surrounding scenery changed rapidly, and they were forcibly pulled out of the dark universe.

"This is the strongest being in the universe?!"

Coty's pupils constricted sharply.

Before Emperor Yan, a figure appeared out of nowhere. It was an old man dressed in a simple gray robe, with a kind face, yet giving off an unfathomable feeling.

"teacher!"

Emperor Yan exclaimed in surprise, his eyes filled with the relief of surviving a calamity.

The Mountain-Sitting Guest ignored Emperor Yan and instead looked at Coty, saying gently, "Young friend, could you give this old man some face?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to contain some profound truth of the universe, making people involuntarily want to obey it.

"After all, Emperor Yan is my disciple. How about we just drop this matter?"

Koti's expression shifted. Facing the strongest being in the universe, he did indeed feel immense pressure. But thinking of his teacher, the Star Palace Master, he regained his confidence.

"Senior, the Flame Emperor has repeatedly provoked our human race, and even attacked me once..."

The mountain dweller gently raised his hand, interrupting Coty: "I understand. How about this?"

He flipped his hand, and a crystal emitting a strange fluctuation appeared in his palm.

"This is a 'Heart of Time and Space,' which is of great benefit to comprehending the laws of time and space. Consider it an apology from Emperor Yan, and let's let this matter rest, shall we?"

Koti stared at the crystal, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

He was about to nod in agreement the next moment, since the Mountain Master was right in front of him, and he couldn't very well refuse. If the Mountain Master hadn't come, he could have just killed him.

But now the mountain dweller has arrived.

His teacher, Xingchen, was not around, so it would be unwise to continue fighting to kill Yandi.

However, at this very moment, just as he was preparing to accept the Heart of Time and Space and spare Emperor Yan today.

A voice suddenly rang out from the void.

"Senior Sitting Mountain Guest, as the strongest being in the universe, isn't it inappropriate for you to interfere in the battle between two universe masters?"

The voice was like a celestial river descending from the heavens, carrying an undeniable majesty.

Before he could finish speaking, a dazzling figure appeared in front of Coty—it was none other than the Star Palace Master!

Xingchen stood with his hands behind his back, surrounded by countless illusory star images, each containing a terrifying power.

At this moment, his aura was in no way weaker than that of the Mountain-Sitting Guest. The pressure of the two strongest beings in the universe confronting each other caused the space in the entire area to begin to distort and collapse.

"teacher!"

Koti exclaimed in delight, feeling instantly at ease.

Xingchen nodded slightly, but her gaze remained fixed on the Mountain Guest.

He knew in his heart that the seemingly ordinary gray-robed old man in front of him was actually a reincarnated god-king, possessing knowledge and resources far exceeding those of the strongest beings in the universe.

"The Star Palace Master..."

A flicker of surprise crossed the mountain hermit's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He carefully examined the rising star before him, when suddenly his pupils contracted sharply!

"Wait, this...this genetic level!"

The man sitting on the mountain was filled with turbulent emotions.

With his keen eyesight, he saw through the life essence of the star at a glance—its genetic level, which was more than 68,000 times higher, had clearly reached the second level of the divine power path!

"How is this possible... that someone in the primordial universe could elevate their genetic level to this extent?"

The man sitting on the mountain was shocked.

It should be noted that even when he was on the Origin Continent, he rarely saw a genius who could reach such a level at the Universe Lord stage.

This star's talent is probably far more terrifying than he expected!

Xingchen felt the gaze of the mountain dweller and smiled calmly: "Senior has keen insight."

A glint flashed in the eyes of the Mountain-Sitting Guest, followed by a meaningful smile: "The Star Palace Master is indeed extraordinary."

The two exchanged a knowing glance, both seeing the deeper meaning in each other's eyes.

Chapter 260 Ten Thousand Years Later, Heading to the Cosmic Sea

Yan Di watched from the side, completely bewildered, not understanding why his teacher was being so polite to this junior.

Although this star is extremely famous, it is still just a lord of the universe, merely possessing the combat power of the strongest being in the universe.

In his view, no matter how strong Xingchen was, he could not possibly be stronger than his teacher, Zuoshanke.

He couldn't help but interject, "Teacher, these stars..."

However, the Mountain-Sitting Guest merely turned his head and glanced at Emperor Yan.

Emperor Yan was so frightened that he immediately fell silent.

Seeing this, Xingchen chuckled and said, "Senior Sitting Mountain Guest, what do you think should be done about today's matter?"

His tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable firmness.

Now that they've shown themselves, they absolutely cannot let Coty suffer a loss for nothing.

Star and Mountain Guest stood facing each other in the void, dimming the starlight around them. The auras of the two strongest beings in the universe clashed silently, rippling across the entire star field.

After a moment, the mountain dweller sighed softly and waved his sleeves again.

Three streaks of light flew out and hovered between the two.

“These are the ‘Star River Map,’ the ‘Void Seal,’ and the ‘Primal Flame.’”

The voice of the man sitting on the mountain carried a hint of helplessness.

"Consider this my apology for bringing this good-for-nothing disciple with me."

Each of these three treasures exudes a heart-pounding aura. In particular, the pulsating primordial flame is a primordial treasure, and a high-level one at that. Although it is not considered rare in the Starry Sky, it is an invaluable treasure in the eyes of others.

Xingchen's gaze flickered slightly, but he did not respond immediately. He turned to look at Koti, his voice gentle yet carrying an undeniable authority: "Disciple, this matter arose because of you, so it is up to you to decide."

To be honest, he didn't care about this treasure. The only reason he weighed it with the Mountain Guest was because of his identity as a reincarnated God King.

Otherwise, if it were any other strongest being in the universe, he wouldn't bother with all this nonsense.

They were directly pulled into a miniature universe and wiped out.

Koti's heart skipped a beat, realizing this was a test from his teacher. He took a deep breath, his gaze shifting between the Flame Emperor and the several treasures.

Emperor Yan was in a sorry state, his divine body damaged by nearly 20%, and his former arrogance had vanished. When he saw Coty looking at him, a hint of humiliation flashed in his eyes, but he dared not say a word.

"teacher."

Koti bowed respectfully.

"This disciple is willing to follow your arrangements."

He did not want to cause trouble for Xingchen because of this matter. If he wanted revenge in the future, he could naturally seek out Yandi himself!

There's no need for Xingchen to intervene.

Xingchen nodded slightly, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes. He turned to the Mountain-Sitting Guest, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable firmness: "Fellow Daoist Mountain-Sitting Guest, today's matter can be let go. But one thing must be made clear—"

"this is the last time."

"If Coty and Yan Di have any further conflicts in the future, I hope you will not interfere again."

Upon hearing this, the Mountain Hermit gazed intently at the stars. Their eyes met, as if countless messages were being exchanged silently.

After a long silence, the man sitting on the mountain slowly nodded: "Alright."

He turned to look at Emperor Yan, his eyes filled with both disappointment and a glimmer of hope: "Emperor Yan, did you hear me clearly?"

Emperor Yan's expression shifted, and he finally lowered his proud head: "Disciple...understands."

"Ugh……"

The mountain dweller sighed, then with a flick of his sleeve, he took Emperor Yan into his robes.
