Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 287

The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds protected the other universe lords of the Ancestral God Sect, helping them avoid the power of the Lord of Yuan'ao's self-destruction.

If this power hits its mark, it would be enough to kill some mid-level universe lords.

Under the influence of the self-destruction's divine power, an endless stream of particles flowed within a radius of billions of kilometers, like scalding sand flowing slowly.

Within this stream of particles, three figures rushed in against the flow of explosions.

Relying on their supreme defensive capabilities and strength, the Lord of Ultra and the Lord of Zetton rushed in immediately after the Lord of Ultra self-destructed, while the third figure was naturally the Black Universe Founder who had hurriedly arrived.

The Lord of Zetton and the Founder of the Dark Universe were naturally after the Divine Tree, the wondrous artifact of the Lord of Yuan'ao, while the Lord of Ultra was gathering the scattered treasures of the Lord of Yuan'ao, and incidentally providing cover for the Zetton clone.

With offensive treasures, defensive armor, and the Domain Holy Grail, aside from the wondrous Divine Wood, the Lord of Yuan'ao is also a top-tier fourth-order Universe Lord, so his wealth is quite considerable.

Even if Ultraman's clone doesn't want it, it's still good to take it back and give it to the human treasure trove.

"got it!"

Following the aftershocks of the explosion, the Zetton clone, with its insect wings and the boots of the Dark Demon God Armor, moved at an astonishing speed, completely ignoring the surrounding particle streams, and instantly rushed to the Divine Tree, picking it up.

Looking at the strangely textured black wood in his hand, the corner of Zetton's mouth curled up slightly.

"Lord of Zetton, put down the wonder."

Just as Zetton's clone obtained the artifact, an angry roar suddenly rang out, followed by a huge black hand emitting flames.

Because of the momentary interference from the Lord of Eternity, the Creator of the Dark Universe was still a step too late and could only watch helplessly as the artifact fell into the hands of the Lord of Zetton.

Without hesitation, the Black Cosmic Founder unleashed a sixth-tier attack. "If I can't deal with the Eternal Lord, can't I deal with you, the Lord of Zetton?"

Seeing the attack from the Black Universe Founder, Zetton's clone chuckled, gathering his divine power on the black divine tree.

boom…

The black sacred tree suddenly swelled to a size of hundreds of thousands of kilometers, like a pillar reaching the sky, and then directly confronted the enormous black hand that was slapping down.

Peng…

The enormous divine tree collided with the black palm, and two powerful divine forces suddenly erupted. The black palm was directly shattered, while the divine body of Zetton's clone remained completely unmoved.

"The strongest in the universe is nothing more than this!"

The Zetton clone held the strange object in its hand, which could unleash its power at will without needing to comprehend any secret techniques. It was indeed impressive, but it would be marked by the primordial universe if used for too long.

However, as long as the artifacts are not used within the primordial universe, there will be no significant impact.

"Damn it!"

The Black Universe Creator, radiating golden flames, was filled with shame and anger. He could accept being blocked by Eternal Persistence, given that the latter had a better record in the Cosmic Sea than him. But now he was being humiliated by a cosmic lord.

The enraged Black Cosmic Creator slammed down another enormous black hand, with endless stars flowing within it, surging like a miniature universe.

"break!"

Zetton's clone, wielding the wondrous object, also raised his hand and struck, piercing the black star-shaped palm once more. His aura was in no way inferior to that of the strongest being in the universe.

"Founder of the Black Universe, you too, take my attack!"

The Zetton clone, wielding the wondrous divine wood, charged forward instead of retreating, directly towards the Black Universe Founder on the other side, engaging him in battle.

"Inconceivable."

On the other side, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, who was protecting the two Universe Lords of the Nine Netherworld lineage, looked at the Lord of Zetton, who was fighting against the Founder of the Black Universe, with a look of astonishment.

Although he initially believed that the Lord of Zetton was highly talented and had the potential to be the strongest in the universe, he never expected that in the blink of an eye, the other party would be able to fight against the truly strongest.

Even with the suppression of rules in the primordial universe, the Lord of the Universe would find it difficult to contend with the strongest sixth-order being.

"A sixth-order universe master!"

The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds sighed with a touch of pride, realizing that his judgment had indeed been very accurate.

Chapter 332 Ending

Within the stream of divine power particles unleashed by the Lord of Yuan'ao's self-destruction, two figures were constantly colliding with each other, each strike seemingly touching the limits of the primordial universe.

The combined power of the attacks even suppressed the aftershocks of the Lord of the Cave.

"I can't even defeat a ruler of the universe!"

As the creator of the Black Universe continuously waved his enormous black hands, colliding with the black divine tree, he felt incredibly frustrated.

Before this, the highest level of the cosmic rulers in the primordial universe was only the fifth rank.

The fifth rank is only one rank higher than the fourth and sixth ranks, but the strongest sixth rank is a higher realm that is suppressed, not that they can only exert the strength of the sixth rank.

Therefore, once a battle begins, even in the primordial universe, the stronger beings, through their higher realms, can easily suppress the lords of the universe.

"Lord of Zetton, you cannot protect this wonder. Although you can contend with us in the primordial universe, in the cosmic sea, you are still no match for any of the strongest beings."

The Founder of the Black Universe advised, "Given the value of these rare treasures, even the strongest covet them. But if you are willing to exchange with me, I am willing to give up ten supreme treasures."

For the strongest lone traveler, apart from the set of supreme treasures he possesses, other treasures are not very useful. Even if he gives up all his supreme treasures, as long as he can exchange them for a treasure that can improve his strength, it is not a loss at all.

For the Black Universe Founder, who possesses the most powerful treasure armor, acquiring just ten supreme treasures is not particularly difficult.

“Ultimate treasures are useless to me. Black Universe Founder, if you are willing to exchange your ‘Black Universe’ for it, I might consider it,” Zetton’s clone laughed.

Ten supreme treasures? Who do you think you are? It's not like he's ashamed to show them off.

However, rare items are things that can genuinely enhance his strength.

Zetton's clone is at the sixth level of strength. The artifact and the Dark Demon God Armor gauntlets can increase its attack power by one level, and the mechanical treasure, the Demon God Armor, further amplifies it by one level.

When facing the strongest beings in the universe, Zetton's clone can directly unleash the strength of the eighth rank, which is elite even among the strongest beings, and is even stronger than the original body.

"Good, good, good. I hope you, Lord Zetton, will have such strength when you are in the Cosmic Sea."

The Black Universe Founder snorted coldly and immediately stopped his attack.

The Black Universe Founder had to admit that he was completely helpless against the Lord of Zetton in the primordial universe, as the latter had reached the sixth level with the power of the artifact.

Not to mention that the Lord of Zetton is a member of the Ancestral God Cult, and the other cosmic lords of the Ancestral God Cult haven't come to help yet.

It's embarrassing enough to fail to defeat a single universe master; if you were driven away by several universe masters working together, that would be an even greater disgrace.

However, once they reach the Cosmic Sea, things become more complicated. The original cosmic rules will not be too restrictive, and most importantly, the three ancestral gods will generally not go to the Cosmic Sea before the end of the cosmic cycle.

Thinking about it this way, the founder of the Black Universe was still extremely upset. He had finally swallowed his pride and risked offending the ten major powers to come and target the artifact of the Lord of Yuan'ao.

However, he gained nothing and got himself into a mess.

The wondrous artifact was stolen by the Lord of Zetton of the Ancestral God Cult, and the fragment of the 'Spinning Origin' Peak Realm map was also stolen by the Lord of Eternity. As a result, he, a dignified strongest being in the universe, was actually tricked by two cosmic lords. How could he not feel aggrieved?

"No luck on my journey, no luck on my journey!"

The founder of the Black Universe shook his head slightly. Once the thought arose, he had no face to stay here any longer. So after uttering those harsh words, he turned around and left.

"Lord of Zetton, farewell to the Cosmic Sea!"

"We have arrived at the Cosmic Sea."

After thinking for a moment, Zetton's clone realized that with his and the Black Universe's creator's strength, plus their respective supreme treasure armor, it seemed that neither of them could defeat the other, making it no different from fighting in the primordial universe.

“Zeton, you’ve probably really offended the founder of the Black Universe this time.”

After the founder of the Black Universe departed, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds and several others also drifted over.

When Zetton's clone was fighting the Black Universe Founder, it had already notified the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, instructing them not to disturb him.

"It's best not to go to the Cosmic Sea for the time being," said the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.

"God, don't worry, I have some other treasures. Combined with the wondrous divine wood, even if we reach the Cosmic Sea, we won't be afraid of the Black Universe Founder," Jeton's clone laughed.

"It's fine as long as you've thought about it yourself."

The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds didn't say much. The opponent's strength had already surpassed his own, and he had honed his skills in the Cosmic Sea for so many years, so he also had his own ideas.

As for the wondrous divine wood in the hands of Zetton's clone, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds was somewhat envious, but had no intention of competing for it.

After all, it had already fallen into the hands of a powerful universe lord, so there was no way to snatch it away, not to mention that this universe lord was from his Nine Nether lineage.

In fact, apart from Lord Zetton, there seem to be very few people in the entire Ancestral God Cult who are suitable for using magical artifacts.

The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds is completely immobile and relies mainly on his Nine Netherworld clones when going out. His main purpose is to maximize cost-effectiveness, and he will occasionally self-destruct, making him unsuitable for carrying precious treasures.

The three ancestral gods did not go to the Cosmic Sea, and it was not easy to use rare items in the Primordial Universe, so giving them to the three of them would be useless.

“Zetton, artifacts cannot be used in the primordial universe, or they will be abhorred by the primordial will…”

Subsequently, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds also transmitted some information about the strange object to Zetton's clone.

After all, the Ancestral God Cult, as the representative of the original will, did collect more detailed information about the strange objects.

"understand!"

The Jaden clone nodded: "We have perfectly completed the task entrusted to us by the original will. God, let's go."

"stop!"

Just as Jaden's clones were about to leave, an angry voice rang out.

"Lord of Zetton, leave that strange object behind. Lord of Ultra, you must also hand over all the relics left by Lord of Ultra."

At this moment, having been tricked by Lu Yunhe's true form, the many universe lords who arrived late also gathered around somewhat unwillingly.

The one who spoke was Yan Di, whose soul was somewhat damaged. He glared angrily at the Lord of Ultra and the others.

Not only did the founder of the Black Universe make a wasted trip and lose face, but so did these cosmic lords.

They didn't get any rare items or maps, and they didn't even seem to have participated effectively in the siege of the Lord of the Cave.

Halfway through the battle against the Lord of Yuan'ao, many of the Lords of the Universes went to besiege the Lord of Eternity, leaving only the human race and the Ancestral God Cult to deal with the Lord of Yuan'ao.

"I wonder if the original universe ever took into account the contributions of people like us."

The universe lords of the five top races are all having a headache, even if they have made some contributions, they are probably getting very little.

"Emperor Yan, my human race hasn't even gone to cause you any trouble yet, and you're already jumping around so excitedly."

As Ultraman looked at Yan Di, who was leading the charge, the black spots in his bright, bulbous eyes deepened.

"Then let's give it a try."

Emperor Yan said proudly, his whole body exuding a domineering aura, and the single horn on his forehead seemed to be gathering something.
