Swallowing the Stars, I am the Lord of the Galaxy

He raised his hand and waved it, and a dazzling starlight tunnel unfolded before him.

Without hesitation, Xingchen stepped into it, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

The cosmic sea.

The figure of the star appeared out of thin air, surrounded by endless chaotic energy.

Each of these air currents was as heavy as a mountain, enough to easily crush immortal gods. But to a cosmic lord like a star, it was nothing more than a gentle breeze.

"Let me see the coordinates."

Not long ago, Coty, who was training in the Cosmic Sea, sent a distress call to the stars, saying that he was trapped in a dangerous place in the Peak Realm.

He must personally go and rescue him.

Now that Coty is the Lord of the Universe, if he were to die by accident, he would have to wait until Coty breaks through to the Chaos Origin realm to be resurrected, which would take far too long.

I checked the coordinates.

That was a dangerous area deep within the Peak Realm, a forbidden zone called "Illusory Light Lake".

"Illusory Lake?"

Xingchen frowned slightly.

"How did that kid end up there?"

Many forbidden zones in the Peak Realm are places that even the strongest beings in the universe cannot enter at will, as entering them could be life-threatening.

Even the strongest beings in the universe are in danger of perishing.

For example, in the dimly lit place, Xingchen wanted to enter and get a world beast to study.

However, he also had a clear understanding of his own strength. Although he was strong, he might not be a match for a few world beasts, but if there were too many of them, he would definitely be overwhelmed.

Although he possesses the Eternal Ark, he is currently unable to fully activate it, and although he has already researched some of its other functions, it will still require more time.

Now is not the time to deal with those world beasts.

Without hesitation, Xingchen took out the Eternal Ark.

This is a shuttle-shaped spaceship that is entirely silver-white, with secret runes of the level of an eternal true god flowing across its surface. It is the most important treasure that Xingchen has been using to explore the cosmic sea, and it is also his strongest treasure at present!

"Full speed ahead!"

The Eternal Ark transformed into a silver streak, instantly piercing through layers of chaotic energy and hurtling towards the depths of the Peak-Swept Realm.

The spacetime around the ship was extremely distorted, causing the flight speed to exceed tens of millions of times the speed of light.

Xingchen stood at the bow of the ship, his gaze solemn.

Illusion Lake is one of the most famous forbidden areas in the Peak Realm. Spacetime is disordered and the laws are distorted there, and even the strongest beings in the universe may get lost in it.

Even more terrifying is that the lake is inhabited by the "Phantom Beast," a terrifying creature capable of devouring souls.

A large number of them would pose a threat to even the strongest beings in the universe.

"I hope it's not too late..."

With a thought, Xingchen increased the speed of the Eternal Ark once again.

Fine spatial rifts began to appear around the ship's hull, a sign that it had reached its maximum speed.

Meanwhile, deep within the Illusion Lake.

Koti is trapped in a distorted spacetime, surrounded by countless mirror-like fragments of space.

His image was reflected in each "mirror," but these reflections were doing different things: some were crying for help, some were cultivating, and some had even turned into bones...

"Damn it!"

Coty gritted his teeth, his blood-red longsword slashing at the surroundings, but only creating more spatial ripples.

"We can't possibly kill all these monstrous things!"

He has been trapped here for three whole months.

He had his reasons for coming here, but he no longer needed to care about those things. What he should care about now was how to get out!

Worse still, he felt his soul being slowly devoured, and the reflections in the mirrors were the best proof of that.

"Teacher, please come quickly..."

Koti sat down with a wry smile and entered the palace to begin resisting the soul devouring.

He believed that as long as the teacher received the message, they would come to his rescue.

Just as Coty was about to give up, a dazzling light suddenly erupted from the outer edge of Lake Illusion. A silver streak of light pierced into the lake like a sharp sword, and wherever it passed, the distorted spacetime returned to normal.

"This is... the Ark of Eternity?! The teacher is here!"

Koti looked up abruptly, his eyes gleaming with hope.

Amidst the silvery light, Xingchen stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping across the surroundings like lightning.

When he saw Koti trapped in the mirrored space, a pang of heartache flashed in his eyes.

"Hold on, your teacher is coming!"

With a soft shout from Xingchen, the Eternal Ark trembled, and endless silver light erupted!

"boom--"

The Eternal Ark suddenly burst forth with billions of silver rays of light, like a supernova exploding at the core of the Illusion Lake.

The dazzling silver light surged in all directions like a tide, and wherever it passed, the distorted spacetime mirrors, the eerie seven-colored streams of light, and the omnipresent soul-devouring power all melted and dissipated like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun.

"This is……"

Koti stared wide-eyed, utterly shocked by what he was seeing.

Wherever the silver light reached, the entire space-time was completely purified.

The originally chaotic spatial structure was forcibly corrected, the broken chains of law were reconnected, and even the mirrors that reflected Koti's different fates shattered under the silver light, turning into specks of starlight and dissipating.

The Eternal Ark now resembled a great silver sun, suspended in the center of the purified spacetime.

All the eternal true god-level secret patterns on the ship's hull lit up, each pattern seemingly containing the power to create the world.

"Disperse!"

As he finished speaking, the light of the Eternal Ark surged once more.

"Click, click—"

A sickeningly loud sound of space shattering rang out.

"Roar!!"

An angry roar came from the bottom of the lake from the King of Illusions.

This terrifying creature, spanning hundreds of billions of kilometers in size, finally couldn't hold back any longer and burst out of the water.

It is completely transparent, with a torrent of seven-colored laws flowing within it, and each tentacle is wrapped with the power of spacetime.

However, as soon as it broke out of the lake, it was directly illuminated by the light of the Eternal Ark.

"Zizzi-"

A chilling, corrosive sound rang out.

Xingchen's eyes flashed like lightning as he stared at the enormous creature that had broken through the water.

The colossal body of the Illusionary Light Beast King, comparable to a star field, was fully revealed. A torrent of seven-colored laws flowed through its crystal-clear body, and the power of spacetime was wrapped around each tentacle, which was tens of thousands of kilometers in diameter. Its mere existence caused the surrounding space to collapse and recombine continuously.

"Teacher, be careful!"

Coty exclaimed in surprise from behind.

"This beast king's strength is comparable to the strongest being in the universe!"

Xingchen's gaze narrowed slightly, and the Eye of Eternity instantly analyzed the Beast King's strength level: "Top-tier eighth rank... no wonder he could trap Koti."

The Phantom Beast King let out a roar that shattered the void, and tens of thousands of tentacles waved at the same time, with a seven-colored ball of light condensing at the tip of each tentacle.

These orbs of light contain terrifying soul-annihilating power; even the strongest beings in the universe would suffer severe damage if struck by them.

"Roar--"

With a roar, tens of thousands of multicolored orbs of light rained down like a storm. Wherever they passed, space was corroded, creating dark passages, and the flow of time became chaotic.

Faced with this overwhelming attack, Xingchen merely sighed softly, "What a pity..."

Before he finished speaking, a blinding silver light suddenly erupted from his body. The Eternal Armor instantly covered his entire body, and six pairs of wings of light unfurled from his back.

"Moonlight Shattered by Frosty Sunlight!"

Xingchen slowly raised his battle blade, and countless star patterns on the blade lit up one by one. The moment he swung his blade down, time seemed to stand still throughout the entire Illusionary Light Lake.

A blade of light, traversing the Milky Way, slashed through the sky.

This blade of light appeared slow, but it was actually faster than thought. Wherever it passed, the seven-colored light spheres solidified, then shattered and dissipated like bubbles. The blade of light, with its remaining momentum, struck heavily into the massive body of the Illusionary Light Beast King.

"boom--"

Amidst the earth-shattering explosion, the Beast King let out a painful roar as its massive body was cleaved away and plummeted heavily towards the bottom of the lake.

It smashed through countless spatial faults along the way, eventually creating a giant crater at the bottom of the lake with a diameter of hundreds of billions of kilometers.

Xingchen did not pursue, but turned around and slashed at the spacetime cage that trapped Coty, shattering all the strange spatial fragments without harming Coty in the slightest.

"go!"

He grabbed Coty and instantly returned to the Ark of Eternity. But at that moment—

“Roar, ahhhhh!!!”

A roar ten times more ferocious than before erupted from the lake's depths. The entire Illusionary Light Lake suddenly boiled, forming a colossal whirlpool with a diameter exceeding ten billion kilometers. At the center of the whirlpool, the figure of the Illusionary Light Beast King reappeared, but its form had drastically changed.

Its once transparent body was now stained crimson, and the iridescent light on its surface had turned dark red. Even more terrifying, its size had shrunk tenfold, but the aura it emitted was a hundred times more terrifying than before!

"Second form!"

Xingchen's eyes narrowed.
