Swallowing the Stars, I am the Lord of the Galaxy

Page 107

Upon hearing this, Xingchen's eyes blazed with fighting spirit: "What a perilous place!"

This perfectly matches his requirements.

He paced back and forth in the hall, starlight swirling beneath his feet: "As far as you know, when will it open next?"

"Exactly three years later."

"Venerable Biyou said respectfully."

"I still have a secret star map here."

As he spoke, he took out a quantum computer and presented it with both hands.

Xingchen took the personal terminal, scanned it with his divine sense, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Alright, this is it!"

He turned to look at the starry sky, his eyes burning with fighting spirit: "The three races are vying for supremacy, and the strongest are gathering. This is the perfect place to test the laws of the galaxy!"

“This time we’re going with completely new identities. You’ll need to disguise yourself as well.”

As he spoke, starlight flowed from his fingertips, and a small cosmic portal opened, from which another Illusionary Body Bead flew out: "Wear this, and from this day forward, you will be the 'Azure Nether Venerable,' and I will be the Gray Blade Venerable."

The Venerable Biyou respectfully accepted it: "Your subordinate understands."

Xingchen nodded in satisfaction: "Go and prepare. We will set off for the Moonlit Azure Realm in three days."

After Venerable Biyou withdrew, Xingchen stood alone in the hall, his fingers gently stroking the Illusionary Bead on his chest, his eyes gleaming with anticipation: "Moonlight Azure Secret Realm, I hope it won't disappoint me."

……

Three days later, in outer space on Blue Rain Star.

Two figures floated silently in the starry sky. The gray-haired man in the lead wore a simple gray robe and carried an ordinary-looking longsword on his back.

Half a step behind him stood a middle-aged man in a blue robe with a stern face.

"Master, shall we set off now?"

The man in the green robe asked in a low voice.

The gray-haired man, whose disguise was disguised as starlight, nodded slightly: "Let's go, Qingming."

The Azure Nether Venerable, who should now be called the Azure Dark Venerable, nodded respectfully.

A dazzling golden light burst forth from the void; it was the light of the divine kingdom's teleportation.

“Master, your subordinate has set the teleportation coordinates to the ‘Dark Meteor Belt’, which is thirty light-years away from the Moon Blue Secret Realm.”

The Azure Nether Venerable explained, "That's a desolate star field; it won't attract attention."

Xingchen nodded in satisfaction: "Very thoughtful."

"Master, you flatter me. This is also for the safety of the divine kingdom's coordinates."

Golden light enveloped the two completely, and the next moment, their figures vanished from their original spot.

……

The Dark Meteorite Belt is a desolate region composed of countless broken celestial bodies.

Two figures appeared out of thin air.

Xingchen looked around and saw countless broken star fragments floating in the void, with occasional spatial rifts appearing in the distance. The environment was indeed well hidden.

"There are still three years until the secret realm opens."

The Azure Nether Venerable took out a star map.

"As is customary, the powerful figures from each race will arrive one or two years in advance and set up camp in the surrounding star regions."

Xingchen gazed intently into the distance: "In that case, let's wait here. It'll be a good opportunity to observe the movements of the powerful figures from various races. I also want to see who will come to this secret realm."

With a wave of his hand, an exquisite palace appeared out of thin air, suspended in the void. The palace's exterior was simple and unadorned, but upon closer inspection, one could see subtle starlight flowing across its surface.

"The 'Star Concealment Palace,' a flying palace-type treasure, is dedicated to concealment."

The two entered the palace. The interior was much more spacious than it appeared from the outside, and it was fully equipped with all kinds of facilities.

In the days that followed, Xingchen adjusted his state while closely monitoring the movements around the Moonlit Secret Realm through the detector.

Three months later, the first team arrived.

"Master, the three Venerable Ones of the Demon Clan have arrived."

"This is what Venerable Qingming reported."

"They are stationed ten light-years east of the entrance to the secret realm."

Xingchen stood before the probe, gazing at the three silver giant wolves displayed on the light screen. Each wolf exuded a powerful aura, with the leader reaching the level of a High-Rank Venerable.

Xingchen pondered, "It seems this trip to the secret realm won't be too boring."

Another six months passed, and human powerhouses arrived one after another. Among them, the most eye-catching was a team of five Venerables from the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance. Each of them possessed a powerful aura, clearly indicating that they were all veterans of countless battles.

“That’s the ‘Blood Blade Master’.”

The Azure Nether Venerable pointed to a red-haired man in the light screen.

"He is quite famous in the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, and it is said that he once killed a demon lord single-handedly."

Xingchen's eyes flickered slightly: "Interesting. I've heard of him too. He seems to be a high-level cosmic venerable."

As time goes by, more and more powerful individuals gather here.

The Zerg Queen led an overwhelming number of Zerg warriors; the Northern Frontier Alliance and the Machine Race Venerables piloted massive warships; there were even two special life Venerables from the Ancestral God Cult, their bodies surrounded by strange fluctuations of law.

"It seems that this time the secret realm is opening even more lively than before."

"The Azure Nether Venerable sighed."

Standing on the star-gazing platform of the Star Concealment Palace, Xingchen gazed at the various colored lights that appeared and disappeared in the distant starry sky, a slight smile playing on his lips: "The more lively the better. It'll be perfect for me to see what kind of methods the powerful beings of various races in this vast universe possess."

Suddenly remembering something, Xingchen turned around and smiled.

"Qingming, do you know any secret techniques for enslaving souls?"

Qingming paused for a moment, then shook his head.

“Master, I am more proficient in combat. I am not very knowledgeable about soul-related secret techniques. Although I know soul enslavement techniques, I can only enslave people who are one major realm below me, or those who are in a deep sleep.”

Xingchen nodded.

"If you desperately burn your divine body and go all out, in conjunction with the peak treasure set I gave you, what level can you reach?"

Qingming paused.

"This... if we disregard everything, I can get infinitely close to the combat power of a cosmic overlord, and may even reach it briefly."

Xingchen's lips curled up.

"That's enough. Just follow my signal and act accordingly. Don't worry about the issue of divine power. I have a primordial treasure that can help you recover. Besides, the super primordial treasure that I assembled with precious artifacts also recovers very quickly."

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the starry sky surrounding the Moonlit Azure Realm has become exceptionally lively. Xingchen stands on the observation platform of the Star Concealment Palace, observing the situation of the surrounding star field through the probe.

“Master, thirty-seven Venerables from various races have been gathered so far.”

Venerable Qingming reported respectfully.

"According to my observations, the scale of this secret realm opening is even larger than the last one."

Xingchen nodded slightly: "Tell me, who are some of the people worth paying attention to?"

Venerable Qingming brought up a star map projection and began to explain in detail: "First is the demon race camp. In addition to the three Venerables of the Sirius Clan, two Venerables of the Golden Scale Clan have also arrived."

The projection showed two giant beasts, all golden in color and with a single horn on their foreheads, somewhat similar to the Golden Horned Beast, but indeed smaller in size.

"The Golden Scale Clan ranks high among the demon races, and these two Golden Scale Clan Venerables should both be at the level of High Universe Venerables."

Xingchen's eyes flickered slightly: "I remember the Golden Scale Clan has a Universe Lord?"

"Yes Master."

Venerable Qingming nodded.

"Therefore, they hold a very high position among the demon race."

The projection changes to display the human faction.

"On the human side, in addition to the five Venerables from the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance and the Giant Axe Martial Arts Arena, the Virtual Universe Company has also sent three Venerables."

The Azure Netherworld Venerable pointed to one of the white-haired elders, "This is the 'Wind Spirit Venerable,' who is said to have touched the threshold of becoming a cosmic overlord and is skilled in the laws of spacetime."

A hint of interest flashed in Xingchen's eyes: "Oh?"

"The Zerg faction is led by a Queen Mother and four Venerables of the Zerg Alliance."

The projection showed a stunningly beautiful woman, with four Zerg warriors of different shapes standing behind her.

"This queen is named 'Purple Soul,' and she is quite famous among the Zerg, specializing in soul attacks."

Venerable Qingming continued, "Four Venerables from the Northern Frontier Alliance have arrived, along with two Venerables from the Mechanical Race."

Six figures appeared in the projection, the leader being a mechanical race venerable one whose entire body was covered in metal armor.

"This is the 'Iron Dome Venerable,' whose mechanical puppet army is said to be able to briefly contend with the overlord of the universe, and has extremely strong life-saving capabilities."

Xingchen nodded thoughtfully.

"Most noteworthy are the two special life venerables of the Ancestral God Sect."

The Azure Nether Venerable's voice became solemn.

"This is the 'Flame Star Venerable,' whose true form is a special kind of stellar life form; the other is the 'Mysterious Ice Venerable,' who comes from the Extreme Cold Secret Realm."

Two figures, one red and one blue, appeared in the projection, surrounded by powerful fluctuations of laws.

Xingchen looked at it carefully, then curled her lip in disdain.

Even so, the divine body isn't that big, only a few tens of thousands of kilometers.

Compared to him, they're like ants.

"besides."

The Azure Netherworld Venerable switched projections.
