Swallowing the Stars, I am the Lord of the Galaxy

Page 114

Venerable Fengling stepped forward, surrounded by azure energy: "Everyone, the treasure vault has not yet been opened. It would be too early to start a conflict now."

His voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority. As the only being in the room who had touched the threshold of cosmic overlordship, his words carried considerable weight.

Venerable Purple Soul chuckled, "Venerable Wind Spirit is right. However..."

Her purple eyes sparkled.

"The treasure trove of resources is limited; there has to be a set of rules, doesn't it?"

Flames surged around Venerable Yanxing, and his voice boomed like thunder: "Our Ancestral God Sect proposes that those who are not strong enough withdraw on their own, so as not to throw their lives away in vain!"

"What a loud tone!"

A demon clan elder, clad in black armor, sneered.

"When did your Ancestral God Cult come to represent all forces?"

The powerful figures from all sides engaged in a war of words, while secretly assessing the situation.

"Master, the situation is dire."

"It is Venerable Qingming," he transmitted his voice.

"The various forces are intertwined, and it seems that we have no advantage once a war breaks out."

Xingchen's gaze was deep: "Observe the situation calmly, there's no rush."

Sure enough, just as the debate was escalating, Venerable Wind Spirit suddenly raised his hand. A cyan light screen unfolded, enveloping the human camp.

"Everyone."

His voice was cold and clear.

"I propose that each party send representatives to jointly explore the treasure trove. The resources obtained can be distributed according to their contributions, how about that?"

The Sirius Clan Venerable's golden vertical pupils shifted slightly, his gaze sweeping across the chaotic battlefield and landing on the Purple Soul Venerable. He secretly transmitted his voice, saying, "Purple Soul, how about our two clans join forces and deal with these troublesome human fellows first? Then we'll split the treasure in the vault fifty-fifty."

A glint of shrewdness flashed in Venerable Purple Soul's purple eyes, and his red lips curled into a barely perceptible smile: "You've certainly got a good plan. However..."

What cooperation? In the current situation, no matter which side takes action, the situation will change unpredictably.

She glanced at the stars and the azure sky out of the corner of her eye.

"I already have a partner."

Upon hearing this, he swept his cold gaze over Xingchen and the other person: "Just these two nobodys? Zihun, when did your judgment become so poor?"

Xingchen sensed the hostile gaze and a cold smile appeared on his lips. He lightly tapped the hilt of his battle sword and transmitted his voice to Qingming: "Looks like we've been underestimated."

A cold glint flashed in Venerable Qingming's eyes.

"Hmph, Master, I'll go and kill him later."

"He's your kinsman, how could you do that?"

"The master is everything."

Xingchen smiled and shook her head slightly.

"No rush, let them fight like dogs."

At this moment, Venerable Fengling's proposal caused a great uproar among the various forces.

The eight Venerables of the Alliance of Weak Races gathered together, their expressions uncertain. The Treant Venerable at the head said in a deep voice, "Venerable Wind Spirit's proposal seems fair, but in reality, it excludes us small races!"

"That's right!"

Another venerable one, who resembled an octopus and had eight tentacles, echoed this sentiment.

"Distribute according to contribution? In the end, it's still the major powers who decide!"

The flames surrounding Venerable Flame Star suddenly surged, and his voice boomed like thunder: "Enough! If you're not satisfied, you can leave now!"

The atmosphere became tense once again. Xingchen noticed that Venerable Zihun subtly winked at the four Venerables of the Zerg Alliance, and the positions of the Zerg warriors were also subtly adjusted.

"Master, the Zerg seem to be preparing to make a move."

Qingming transmitted his voice warily.

Xingchen's eyes flickered slightly.

Just then, the golden planet suddenly trembled violently. The towering pillar of light expanded abruptly, and an ancient and powerful wave swept across the entire secret realm. All the Venerables felt a tremor in their souls—it was the oppressive force from the previous cycle of reincarnation!

"The treasure vault is about to open!"

I don't know who shouted.

In an instant, all the arguments ceased. The venerable figures from all sides stared intently at the golden pillar of light, their eyes gleaming with greed.

Chapter 121

"enough!"

A loud shout suddenly rang out, shaking the very air.

Flames surged around Venerable Yanxing, and his divine body, tens of thousands of kilometers tall, emanated a terrifying pressure: "If you keep arguing, are we even going to get this treasure? Let's open it together first! As for the treasures inside, let's fight for them based on our own abilities!"

His words were like a bucket of cold water, calming down the tense factions. Venerable Fengling nodded slightly: "Yanxing is right. There are thirty-six guardian puppets outside this treasure vault, each with the combat power of a high-level Venerable, and they can form a battle formation. If we continue to fight amongst ourselves, no one will be able to get in."

The Purple Soul Venerable's purple eyes flickered, and he chuckled, "Then let's cooperate first?"

With a wave of her hand, hundreds of Zerg warriors immediately formed a battle formation.

The Shadow Annihilation Venerable narrowed his golden vertical pupils: "Hmph, then let's join forces for now. However..."

He coldly surveyed the entire room.

"If anyone dares to stab us in the back, my demon race will be the first to object!"

Xingchen watched coldly from the sidelines, then transmitted a message to Qingming: "Prepare to make a move."

Just as the parties reached a brief consensus, the golden pillar of light suddenly trembled violently. Thirty-six golden rays shot into the sky from the planet's surface, transforming into thirty-six majestic figures suspended in the void.

"The guardian puppet has awakened!"

someone exclaimed.

The puppets were dark gold in color, about a kilometer tall, and had a humanoid appearance but also a cold, mechanical feel.

They had only one vertical pupil on their faces, emitting a cold red light. Each puppet held a uniquely shaped halberd in its hand, the blade of which swirled with chilling energy fluctuations.

"Form... array!"

The lead puppet emitted a mechanical voice.

In an instant, the thirty-six puppets moved simultaneously, tracing mysterious paths through the void. The halberds in their hands echoed each other, outlining a huge three-dimensional rune in the air.

"boom--"

A terrifying pressure far exceeding the Venerable level suddenly descended! The runes emitted dazzling golden light, and the auras of the thirty-six puppets merged perfectly, actually unleashing the power of a cosmic overlord!

"not good!"

Venerable Fengling's expression changed drastically.

"They've formed a battle line, retreat!"

But it's too late.

The golden runes suddenly expanded, forming a spherical force field tens of thousands of kilometers in diameter, enveloping everyone within it. Within the force field, space completely solidified, and even the flow of time slowed dramatically.

"Damn it!"

The Shadow Annihilation Venerable roared, his golden vertical pupils revealing terror for the first time.

"This pressure is definitely at the level of a cosmic overlord!"

The Purple Soul Venerable's purple gauze dress fluttered without wind, and the charming smile on her face had long since vanished.

Xingchen felt a sudden heaviness, as if countless mountains were pressing down on his shoulders. The Dark Universe Wings on his back trembled violently, struggling against this oppressive force. The Azure Nether Venerable's face turned pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Master, this oppressive aura..."

Qingming spoke.

Xingchen's gaze turned serious: "Don't panic. Let's see how the others react. These people must have some confidence to come."

At this moment, the eight Venerables of the Alliance of Weak Races could no longer hold on and knelt in the void, their divine bodies trembling.

The venerable tree-man struggled to raise his head: "Save us."

But no one paid attention to their pleas for help. All the powerful figures were doing their best to resist the oppressive force, while remaining vigilant against any potential attack.

The Flame Star Venerable's divine body, tens of thousands of kilometers tall, burst forth with dazzling flames: "Everyone, now is not the time to hold back! Let's join forces to break the formation, or none of us will survive!"

"agree!"

The azure energy around Venerable Fengling surged, and the laws of spacetime condensed into an azure spear in his hand.

"I'll attack the easternmost point of the formation!"

The Shadow Annihilation Venerable gritted his teeth and said, "My demon race is responsible for the north!"

The Purple Soul Venerable looked at the stars, his purple eyes questioning, "Gray Blade Venerable, how about I hand over the West to you?"

Xingchen sneered: "Of course!"

He turned to Qingming and said.

"You're in charge of providing support."

"Yes!"

The Azure Nether Venerable nodded solemnly.

"Do it!"

With a command from Venerable Fengling, all the powerful figures unleashed their power simultaneously!

"Time-Space Break!"

The cyan spear in Venerable Fengling's hand transformed into a streak of light, piercing straight towards the eastern array's core. Wherever it passed, space shattered inch by inch, and the flow of time became disordered.

"Roar!"

The Shadow Annihilation Venerable roared to the sky, his golden vertical pupils shooting out a beam of destructive light, which, together with the golden light from the horns of the two Golden Scale Venerables, slammed fiercely towards the northern array eye.
