Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 198

After all, the Five-Colored Aurora Lake is just a treasure, so this is the only way to use it. Therefore, Zetton's clone has to personally demonstrate his talent in front of it.

In addition, the security measures for the Five-Colored Aurora Lake are hard to describe; they only keep the treasure itself secret, but do not conceal who opens it.

In this situation, although the scene is sealed off, there are so many onlookers that everyone knows who opened it. Although they don't know the specific treasure, they can roughly guess its value.

Just as Jetton was pondering, a platform several hundred meters high at the summit of the mountain slowly rose from the ground and landed in front of him.

On this stone platform stands a palace that resembles an exquisite manor.

"It's a palace-type building!"

Zetton's clone was somewhat excited, as palace-type treasures ranked among the top of all types of treasures.

If it weren't for the fact that it's difficult to attack the outside world from within a palace, palace-type treasures could even rank first.

There's no way around it; for almost all enemies, once an opponent hides inside the palace's treasures, they can block almost 100% of physical attacks and the vast majority of soul attacks unless the entire palace is directly blown up.

Palaces of supreme treasure level are virtually impossible for anyone below the level of a universe master to break through.

"Xingyun Manor!"

Zetton's clone integrated a wisp of immortal divine power into the manor, and then saw that the manor's interior had been transformed into a small space resembling a nebula world.

Nebula Manor, a treasure of the ordinary palace category, is as valuable as an ordinary high-grade treasure, making it extremely precious.

Despite occupying only a few hundred meters in size, as a treasure, it possesses the ability to change size, and can easily fit the true form of Zetton's clone.

"From now on, I won't need to use teleportation or hide in the world ring before flying the spaceship when I go out."

Jetton's clone said with satisfaction that the reason he was too lazy to take the spaceship when he came to the Ancestral God Cult before was because his divine body was too big and the spaceship simply couldn't fit him.

Now that we have Xingyun Manor, not only is it incredibly convenient to go out, but our ability to protect ourselves has also increased dramatically.

Jetton's clone stored Nebula Manor in his storage ring, and then a thin aurora suddenly flew over.

When the aurora appeared, the surrounding space-time also froze, and Zetton's clone had no way to dodge it, so it could only let the aurora touch its forehead.

"Lord of the Nebula!"

Zetton's clone examined the information accompanying the aurora, which mainly concerned the treasure's keeper and included a message he wanted to say.

"I am the Lord of the Nebula. This time, I am going to venture into a dangerous place in the Cosmic Sea. My fate is unknown. Thinking about it carefully, I have no good friends or disciples in countless epochs. If I die, I'm afraid no one will remember me."

"I feel that I may not return this time, and I want to leave something behind. It just so happens that the Ancestral God Sect has created a treasure trove, so I will leave this Nebula Manor here."

"I left a map of the Cosmic Sea inside Nebula Manor, marking one of my temporary residences there. If I were still alive, it would be of no use to me."

"If I die, you who come after me will have the opportunity to go to my temporary residence in the Cosmic Sea, where there are some treasures I left behind, as well as my destination on this journey."

"Cosmic Sea!"

"I definitely have to go to the Cosmic Sea," Jetton's clone murmured. "I didn't expect there to be clues left here."

Subsequently, Zetton's clone swept away Nebula Manor, and the nebula pattern on the small space inside did indeed resemble some kind of map.

"No wonder the rules are so difficult!"

This aurora also contains the conditions for unlocking this treasure trove.

A unique life form in the universe, with a genetic level more than 5000 times higher.

The third level of the Path of the Beast God has been perfected!

Over 10,000 victories in glorious battles!

With these three conditions combined, becoming the undisputed ruler of the universe is practically a certainty.

The latter two conditions combined are enough to prove that the inheritor has extraordinary comprehension and is basically capable of becoming a cosmic venerable.

To become a cosmic venerable one at a genetic level five thousand times higher would make one a top-tier cosmic overlord.

Even a top-tier cosmic overlord, combined with ordinary palace treasures, can still manage to wander around the cosmic sea for a while.

The trials left behind by the Nebula Lord are basically designed to test one's potential to become a cosmic overlord; otherwise, the map of the cosmic sea he left behind would be meaningless.

Chapter 259 Settling in the Nine Nether Sea

"The true legacy of a cosmic ruler!"

The clone of Zetton was intrigued and logged into the human race's virtual network, asking the main body to help check the information of the Nebula Lord.

After the cheat completely blocks perception, there is one downside: communication becomes very difficult.

If it weren't for the convenient virtual universe network, the only thing left to do would be to leave a message on the personal information page of the "Illustrated Guide".

Soon, the main body sent a message to Zetton's clone.

Lord of Nebula: A master of the universe, one of the earliest guardian deities of the Ancestral God Sect, a unique and special life form in the universe, who later perished in the cosmic sea.

"They've fallen!"

Jaden's clone sighed, unsure whether to be happy or sad.

To take a priceless treasure left behind by someone else and then be happy because of the loss of something else—that would be utterly heartless.

"Let's go there when we go to the Cosmic Sea!"

The Jaden clone looked at the map of Nebula Manor, silently memorized it, and then uploaded it to the virtual universe, sharing it with the main body and other clones.

Rumble…

After the Jaden clone received the information from the aurora, the surrounding mountains trembled once again.

At the same time, thousands of auroras surrounding the mountain peak also flew into the sky and returned to the colorful aurora lake.

"Look, it really is King Zetton."

"I'm so envious."

"That's one of the 108 treasures, and he just got his hands on it like that. With each of the 108 treasures taken away, there are fewer and fewer left. I wonder in which era a new treasure will be placed there."

"It is said that even the weakest of these 108 treasures is comparable to a supreme treasure. In addition to the treasure bestowed by the Beast God, it means that King Zetton currently possesses at least three supreme treasures."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding environment instantly turned cold, and the jealousy and greed in the eyes of the many inheritors were almost impossible to suppress.

There are three supreme treasures, one of which is probably quite valuable, even more valuable than many cosmic overlords.

Many inheritors who died in the mysterious realm of the Ancestral Temple did so for a great treasure or a supreme treasure.

"If King Zetton dares to leave the area covered by the multicolored aurora, he should be careful."

"It is a legacy that has been passed down," a successor said quietly.

Fortunately, Zetton's clone joined the Ancestral God Cult as an independent entity.

If other forces were to discover that he was an avatar of a human genius, the demon race, the insect race, and the machine race would probably have to hire the strongest being in the universe to assassinate him, just like they did with Luo Feng in the original story.

At most, it's just a bit of greed. Considering the treasures on his body, it's more likely that an ordinary universe overlord would make a move.

Once the aurora-shrouded clone of Zetton was no longer visible, it glanced at the greedy inheritors around it and then ignored them completely.

After obtaining one treasure, Zetton's clone did not leave immediately. Instead, it continued to wander around the treasure land, fantasizing about whether it could unlock other treasures, since it wouldn't waste much time anyway.

Half a month later, although Zetton's clone did not open the remaining 108 treasures, it did open a small treasure and obtained a life stone that could replenish the Venerable's divine body, which was as valuable as several precious treasures.

"Good luck!"

After obtaining the Stone of Life, Zetton's clone did not linger in the treasure trove. Instead, it returned directly to its residence on Purple Thorn Island and then went to the Land of Inheritance to receive the fourth level of the Path of the Beast God.

The Nine Netherworlds, the Nine Netherworlds Sea!

Rumble…

On the otherwise calm Nine Nether Sea, a massive spatial rift suddenly appeared, and then an island with a diameter of millions of kilometers was violently squeezed out of the rift and crashed heavily onto the sea surface.

"This is it!"

The Jaden clone stood on the small island, glanced at the "Tree Island" not far away, and chose to settle down here.

After finishing his business on Purple Thorn Island, Jetton's clone didn't forget about the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds. He simply moved a small island from his divine kingdom and tossed it over.

After the island landed, the surrounding Netherworld Sea seemed to consciously hold it back, and then slowly seeped into it.

The trees on the island grew taller, the concentration of cosmic energy increased dramatically, and the island expanded significantly, reaching a diameter of tens of millions of kilometers.

Beneath the Nine Nether Sea, in a magnificent palace.

"Not bad!"

The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, dressed in a magnificent black robe, looked at the Jaden avatar in the grand ceremony with great satisfaction, and then asked with some curiosity:

"King Zetton, whose treasure did you open?"

"It's the Lord of Nebula!"

Jeton's clone said directly, "There's nothing to hide. The Fire Cloud River, a supreme treasure bestowed upon him by the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, is no less valuable than his own supreme treasure, the Nebula Manor."

"So it was Nebula. I even went to the Cosmic Sea with him once."

Upon hearing this name, even the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

"Hehe, but you already have three supreme treasures in the open world. Until you cultivate to the level of a Universe Venerable, it's best to avoid those dangerous places."

After a brief moment of reflection, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds steered the conversation back to the Jaden clone, making a teasing remark.

"So I've moved to the God's territory!" Jaden's clone said helplessly.

While he was on Purple Thorn Island, people would approach him from time to time, either wanting to befriend him, or wanting to buy his Glory Points with valuable items. There were even Universe Venerables who wanted to go treasure hunting with him, which annoyed him to no end.

It's better to just stay in the Nine Nether Sea, since Purple Thorn Island is no longer of any use except as a place for inheritance.

"Go, break through to the Universe Venerable realm as soon as possible. Only then will you truly have the power to protect yourself."

With a wave of his hand, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds sent Zetton's clone back to the island.

Back on the island, Jaden's clone went to visit the neighboring tree island.

Tree Island is named after the unique World Tree, a special life form found nowhere else in the universe.

The purpose of Zetton's avatar's journey was naturally to obtain a branch from the World Tree and plant it in the divine kingdom.

As the legendary World Tree, its terrifying divine body and heaven-defying talent go without saying. It also has a hidden function: to stabilize the divine kingdom.

The 'Mantuo God General' of the Ancestral God Cult obtained a branch from the strongest World Tree and planted it in the divine kingdom.
