Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 288

"With the eight major powers here, we can't let them come all this way for nothing."

Emperor Yan, leading eight major forces, attempted to intimidate others with his power, while also showing a hint of longing in his eyes for the wondrous divine wood in the hands of Lord Zetton.

His active participation in the siege of the Lord of the Cave was naturally also for this rare item.

"First, we need to snatch the artifact back from the Lord of Zetton. The major powers have deep-seated conflicts and it's difficult to divide it. When the time comes, I'll bring out the Mountain Guest and then, like the founder of the Black Universe, exchange the treasure with the major powers."

Emperor Yan pondered in his mind that although he did not possess that many supreme treasures, his teacher, the strongest being in the Lone Ranger Universe, did.

"Master Zuoshanke, since you left your third junior brother an extremely powerful treasure, it's only right that you help me obtain a rare item as well," Yan Di thought jealously to himself.

That's the Star Tower, the most powerful and precious treasure! Even the Flame Emperor once longed for it, but he ultimately gave up when faced with the deadly process of recognizing its master.

Just as Emperor Yan was basking in his domineering presence, the 'Lord of the Peak', who resembled a nine-headed lion, couldn't help but send a telepathic reminder.

"Emperor Yan, the other forces have no intention of making a move."

"what!"

Upon hearing the reminder from the Lord of the Peak, Emperor Yan realized that the other Lords of the Universe seemed to be keeping a distance from the two of them, quietly watching them.

"I helped them seize benefits, but I never expected these people to be so short-sighted," Emperor Yan thought angrily.

Unfortunately, not everyone revolves around Emperor Yan.

The other seven top powers surrounded them, but they didn't gain any benefits and were somewhat dissatisfied.

However, the matter was already settled, and the cosmic lords of the major powers were not fools at all about putting them in direct confrontation with the two peak forces of the human race and the Ancestral God Cult.

Among the five universe masters on the other side, two are fifth-tier universe masters, and the other is a sixth-tier universe master who wields a rare artifact and can contend with the strongest. With such a small force, they are completely unable to achieve any results.

Not to mention that the other party also comes from a top-tier power; if a conflict really breaks out, that would be a real problem.

"Haha, Emperor Yan, it seems you really are the biggest clown among the Lords of the Universe."

The Lord of Ultra watched the actions of the many lords of the universe, but couldn't help but mock them.

Only Yan Di could pull off such a perfect start.

He was so selfish that he was stupid. If Emperor Yan hadn't separated from the human race, no matter how selfish he was, with the human race taking care of him and the mountain dweller as his backer, he would have truly been able to roam the universe with an air of superiority. Even the strongest beings would have given him some respect.

That's how it happened—unloved by neither uncle nor grandmother, running off to mess around in a force composed of several universe lords.

"Emperor Yan, today I will teach you a lesson on behalf of the human race. From now on, when you see a human, you shall stay far away from me."

Lord Ultra stepped forward, and endless silver light instantly enveloped Emperor Yan.

"not good!"

Emperor Yan was startled to find that the other universe lords had already retreated far away when Ultraman made his move, and even the Lord of Absolute Peak had to retreat, leaving him alone.

With this mountain-sitting guest by his side, Emperor Yan is not afraid of the major peak forces, but the master of the highest peak still has to consider the clan.

As for Yan Di's resentment, who in the universe doesn't know that Yan Di is selfish and self-serving? Even if he helps, he won't gain anything in return, so the Lord of the Peak naturally wouldn't be willing.

"As expected, Emperor Yan, your selfish and self-serving nature has long been known throughout the universe."

With a casual palm strike, the Lord of Ultra, using only a top-tier fifth-order secret technique, was able to brutally defeat the Flame Emperor, who, despite possessing several supreme treasures, was powerless to retaliate.

"Lord of Ultra!"

Emperor Yan was filled with grief and indignation. This time, it was even worse than when he encountered the Lord of the Ice Peak. He couldn't defeat him, and he couldn't escape.

If it weren't for the fact that the armor he wore was a top-tier item, he would have even lost a significant portion of his divine body.

Watching a powerful universe master being toyed with like a clown, the onlookers, who were initially frustrated, felt much better. Such a thing was rare in the primordial universe.

"The Lord of Ultra's strength has increased again!"

Meanwhile, the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf Clan, who was watching the spectacle, also noticed that the Lord of Ultra's strength had improved somewhat exaggeratedly.

Previously, he had to rely on his innate secret techniques to unleash the power of a fifth-order universe master, but now it seems he has created the strongest fusion secret technique.

"It's only been tens of thousands of years, the human race has been hiding so well," the Lord of Sirius thought to himself. He would definitely pass this message on to the Chinese community after he returned, to see if there was any way to counter it.

On the other side, the Lord of Ultra was ravaging the Flame Emperor, smashing his body several times before slowly releasing the Wings of Time and Space from his restraints.

"Emperor Yan, get out of here. If you don't learn your lesson next time, I'll imprison you in the primordial universe forever," the Lord of Ultra sneered.

If it weren't for the Mountain Guest, he would have locked the Flame Emperor in the Supreme Treasure of the Peak Palace and taken him back to the Primordial Universe.

"Lord of Ultra!"

Emperor Yan touched the horn that was being targeted, and he was so badly beaten that he didn't even dare to use his divine power to repair it. He didn't know why, but the Lord of Ultra kept targeting his horn.

Having lost all face in front of several top powers, Yan Di, feeling the restraints dissipate, was utterly ashamed and dared not utter any more threats. He could only slink away, not daring to stop.

If he were truly imprisoned in the initial universe by the Lord of Ultra, Yan Di suspected that Zuo Shan Ke would never go to redeem him.

"It's all the fault of the mountain dweller!"

The Emperor Yan, who fled in disgrace, was also filled with resentment. Although he was selfish, he was not too stupid.

Back then, he was willing to betray the human race because he thought that after leaving the human race, he would raise the banner of the Mountain Clan, build a top-level power, and then become the leader of the alliance. Wouldn't that be more comfortable than being a subordinate in the Human Legion?

Unfortunately, the Mountain Guest was unwilling to help him at all, leaving Emperor Yan dumbfounded and all his plans going to waste.

"And then there's the Lord of Ultra and the Lord of Ice Peak. Once I become the strongest in the universe, I will definitely find a way to kill you two," Yan Di thought to himself.

……

"The matters concerning the Lord of the Cave and the wondrous artifacts have been resolved. You may all disperse!"

The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds waved to the dozen or so Universe Lords on the other side, and then left with the Lord of Zetton and two other Universe Lords from the Nine Netherworlds lineage.

Then, the Lord of Ultra retracted his Wings of Time and Space and teleported away from the battlefield.

Both the Lord of Zetton and the Lord of Ultra demonstrated their formidable power. The various factions in the universe, unwilling to truly provoke war, could only allow the human race and the Ancestral God Cult to depart.

"Fortunately, the strange object was ultimately taken by the people of the Ancestral God Cult, and not by the human race."

Watching the departing figure of the Lord of Ultra, the Lord of Sirius couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If the other party had obtained the artifact, he couldn't even imagine what would have happened.

The cosmic lords of the various factions exchanged glances, all somewhat helpless. They hadn't gotten any rare items or maps, so they could only leave, treating it as a team-building activity for the cosmic lords.

Chapter 333 The Two Elders on Earth

Human Virtual Universe!

"I never imagined that dealing with just one Lord of Yuan'ao would be so full of twists and turns." The Giant Axe Founder sighed slightly after listening to the Lord of Ultra's account.

Neither the extraordinary artifact nor the fragmented map of the Inclined Peak Realm left by 'Xuan Yuan' were obtained by the human race.

"However, compared to the demon race and the insect race, the human race still gained quite a lot. They gave up competing for maps and rare items, and mainly participated in killing the Lord of Yuan'ao, obtaining all of his treasures. In the coming period, the human race should also produce a group of well-rounded successors."

"Lord of Ultra, your choice this time is indeed excellent," the Giant Axe Founder exclaimed.

Compared to other forces, the human race has had a very good harvest this time, unlike the insectoid race and the demon race, who gained nothing.

"The Lord of Ultra has indeed made a great contribution this time!"

Upon hearing this, the Chaos City Lord nodded in agreement with a somewhat strange expression.

The Lord of Eternity stole the map, the Lord of Zetton took the artifact, and the Lord of Ultra mainly participated in killing the Lord of the Origin. Doesn't that mean all the benefits were taken by the junior brother?

Although he knew that his junior brother had received the greatest benefit, the Lord of Chaos City had no intention of revealing himself for the time being.

"When my junior brother's strength advances further, or he breaks through to become the strongest in the universe, he should be able to act without any worries and won't have to worry about his identity being exposed."

The Lord of Chaos pondered, "In just tens of thousands of years, he has acquired strength comparable to the strongest beings in the universe."

If this information were to be leaked, probably half of the universe would want to kill the junior brother to obtain the opportunity. The major forces in the primordial universe, especially the insect race and the demon race, would probably not let this information go either, and would use their power to suppress the human race.

However, as long as my junior brother makes further progress, even if he doesn't reach the level of our original ancestor, as long as he can rival the first true master of the Divine Eye Clan, he will have nothing to fear.

As for the artifact and the map, no matter how important they are, they cannot compare to the strongest being in the universe.

"Lord Ultra, you have rendered meritorious service to the human race this time, and the race will reward you with 100 Treasure Points."

After inquiring further about the Eternal Lord and the Black Universe Founder, the Giant Axe Founder distributed rewards on behalf of his race.

"That's unnecessary, Giant Axe." Ultraman's clone was both amused and exasperated.

“No, those who seek benefits for their people naturally deserve corresponding rewards,” the founder of the giant axe insisted.

“Alright, then I’ll donate all the treasures I robbed from Lord Yuan’ao to my clan without hesitation,” Ultraman’s clone said without a second thought.

It is said that humans are truly poor when it comes to treasure troves. After becoming the Lord of the Universe, Lu Yunhe's authority increased dramatically. The treasures in the human race's treasure trove were no secret to him, and he didn't even have many top-tier treasures that he could exchange for.

Indeed, there is only one founder of the giant axe among the human race, and they do not have any supreme treasures. They dare not venture too deep into many dangerous places for fear of their own demise and bringing crisis to the entire race. Therefore, they do not have many supreme treasures that they can obtain.

This makes it rather pathetic that even a mere clone of the Chaos City Lord, a figure of great prestige for the human race, is still using a top-tier domain treasure.

"Lord of Ultra!"

The founder of the giant axe was somewhat surprised. A top-tier universe master would have several treasures comparable to the pinnacle, yet he would choose to give them away to his race for free. It seems that the secrets hidden within the Ultra Master are more numerous than imagined.

“Founder of the Giant Axe, I have also enjoyed many benefits within my clan, so this is equivalent to me giving back to my clan.” Ultra’s clone shook his head slightly and insisted.

"Good good!"

The founder of the Giant Axe laughed loudly, saying that seeing the strong members of the clan considering the interests of the entire clan was an extremely happy thing for the Giant Axe.

For a truly strong person, being willing to consider the interests of their people is a selfless sentiment.

After reporting, Ultraman's clone also logged off from the virtual universe network and went to the initial universe to offer the treasure of the Lord of the Origin to the human treasury.

"Even on his deathbed, the Lord of Gaki-Oku still wanted to trick people one last time."

Ultraman's clone looked at a golden sphere of light in the storage treasures of the Lord of Yuan'ao, which seemed to contain a copy of a map about the Qingfeng Realm.

Unless the treasure itself is very precious, such as the Silk Thread Map, or it is deliberately preserved before death, almost no one would carry a map of the Cosmic Sea's forbidden land with them.

The Lord of the Cave of the Cave, before his death, deliberately left behind this map, the purpose of which is self-evident.

He used the 'Xuanyuan' map to trick the Eternal Lord, and also deliberately left a small map to trick the force that killed him.

It must be said that if one did not already know the true identity of the Lord of Yuan'ao, one would probably be overjoyed to receive this map.

"Even on his deathbed, the Lord of Gakkou was still causing trouble, pulling all sorts of little tricks."

The Ultra clone looked at the golden ball of light in his hand, and without hesitation, crushed it, extinguishing the last resort of the Lord of Ultra.

After doing all this, Ultraman's clone returned to his original divine kingdom.
