Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 124

However, to the Demon King's surprise and delight, a sphere emitting white light was flickering in the wreckage of the spaceship, completely unaffected by the power of the immortal level.

"A treasure, absolutely a treasure!"

A look of boundless greed flashed in the Demon King's eyes. A treasure that could withstand the attack of an Immortal King unscathed was definitely an incomparably precious artifact.

You know, after all these years, I still don't have a single treasure, but now a small universe-level being actually possesses such a precious treasure.

However, just as the Demon King was about to attack again, a barefoot, bald man wearing a fiery red battle robe suddenly appeared and looked at him coldly.

"Venerable Guiyi!"

Chapter 192 Return to Chaos City

"Venerable Guiyi!"

When the barefoot, bald man appeared, the venerable one in the green robe who was sitting in the temple instantly appeared in the void, his face full of embarrassment.

Although he didn't know why Venerable Guiyi was here, it was an undeniable fact that he directly witnessed his subordinates attacking a genius from the Primal Secret Realm.

After all, he is the guardian of this secret realm, and he bears some responsibility for anything that happens near it.

"Humph!"

Venerable Guiyi snorted coldly, and the gentle smile that had always been on his face had long since disappeared, but he did not get angry at the Venerable in the green robe.

Although the other party was indeed negligent, no one could have predicted that a King-level Immortal would dare to personally take action in the Primordial Secret Realm, in front of a Universe Venerable.

After Lu Yunhe and the Lord of Chaos City parted ways at the origin of the virtual universe, the Lord of Chaos City began to make arrangements to bring Lu Yunhe to the initial universe after he completed the extreme mission.

After all, Lu Yunhe was only a member of the Universe level on the surface, so the Lord of Chaos City naturally could not go in person. Therefore, he handed over the reception task to his favorite disciple, Venerable Guiyi.

When Venerable Guiyi arrived, he saw that Demon King had already destroyed Lu Yunhe's spaceship, so he immediately appeared to stop the other party from taking further action.

"Luckily I arrived quickly, otherwise..."

Venerable Guiyi stared at the faintly glowing orb, his expression slightly taken aback. Judging from its aura, it was actually a supreme treasure.

It's almost unbelievable that a tiny creature of cosmic scale possesses such a treasure.

"Such an opportunity is top-tier even in the universe. It seems my junior brother is indeed very fortunate!"

Venerable Guiyi sighed inwardly, recalling the hardships he had endured when he obtained his first treasure.

However, given Venerable Guiyi's strength as a cosmic overlord, he wouldn't be jealous over a supreme treasure; he would only feel a little sentimental.

"And he is highly regarded by his master!"

It was a priceless treasure, and Venerable Guiyi himself came to receive it; ordinary disciples of the Chaos City Lord didn't receive such treatment.

"I've met His Holiness!"

At this moment, Lu Yunhe, who was inside the Stone Wing, also heard the address from the Green-Robed Venerable and immediately realized that he was safe. Therefore, he put away his treasures and walked out of the void.

Upon seeing the Demon King, Lu Yunhe immediately hid inside the Stone Wings, ensuring that no matter how strong the Demon King was, it could not break through the treasure's defenses.

Given time to react, even if a Venerable One were to make a move, Lu Yunhe would have a chance to escape.

Of course, there's only a slight chance of success, since the Cosmic Venerable is a qualitative leap, and he possesses many treasures and secret techniques.

Meanwhile, because the Stone Wings were quite distinctive, Lu Yunhe disguised himself by transforming into a ball of light to protect himself, so that he wouldn't be recognized immediately when he used the Stone Wings while venturing out at the Realm Lord level.

"You must be Lu Yunhe. I am Venerable Guiyi. My master sent me to fetch you!"

Looking at Lu Yunhe, who remained calm and composed, Venerable Guiyi couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Even immortal gods would be terrified in such a situation, but a cosmic-level being can still maintain a stable mindset, which shows that he is indeed in good spirits.

With this mindset, he will surely become a powerful figure who will dominate the universe in the future.

Little did Venerable Guiyi know that this scene was nothing to Lu Yunhe.

In the previous critical mission, Lu Yunhe ventured deep into the origin of the universe's will, where he chatted and laughed with the former strongest being in the universe, and later even became sworn brothers with the Lord of the Universe.

Facing two cosmic venerables is nothing.

"Master!"

Upon hearing this title, the green-robed Venerable on the other side immediately understood. As a Venerable, he naturally knew who Gui Yi was referring to as his master—the renowned Lord of Chaos City.

The purpose of Venerable Guiyi's personal visit is self-evident.

"I originally wanted to protect this subordinate who was granted the title of King, but it seems I should extricate myself from the situation first."

The Green-Robed Venerable felt bitter. He had finally gained a subordinate who had been granted the title of King and Immortal, only to encounter this kind of trouble.

Although with his strength as a Universe Venerable, the Chaos City Lord wouldn't do anything to him, he didn't want to be remembered in the Universe Lord's little notebook.

"Hahaha!"

Just then, the almost ignored Demon King suddenly burst into laughter.

"How unjust the primordial universe was!"

The Demon King was indignant and laughed loudly: "I, the Demon King, have risked my life and cultivated for countless epochs to reach this level, and I don't even have a single treasure. Yet a mere cosmic-level little guy possesses such a treasure. I refuse to accept this!"

Seeing the three chatting and laughing, the Demon King's mentality completely collapsed. He was also a powerful king.

However, it was completely beneath the notice of the Lord of the Universe, and it didn't possess any decent treasures, making it no match for a mere cosmic-level ant.

"I refuse to accept this..."

Upon hearing the Demon King's words, the two Venerables beside him remained completely unmoved.

As supreme beings of the universe, they were used to such things, but it was still quite rare for it to happen to a King-level Immortal.

After all, the universe is inherently unfair. There are still countless slaves within the universe, and even the life forms within the divine realms have their cultivation limits fixed. At least the Demon King is still a titled immortal.

"go to hell!"

Unable to understand for a moment, Demon King looked at Lu Yunhe, who was still smiling, and suddenly became wicked. In front of the two Universe Venerables, he launched another attack.

"Magic King!"

Seeing the Demon King's actions, the green-robed Venerable, who was pondering how to smooth things over, instantly flew into a rage. "You, Demon King, want to die, but don't drag me down with you!"

Just as the Green-Robed Venerable was about to stop him, the Guiyi Venerable had already made his move.

"waste!"

With a gentle wave of his hand, Venerable Guiyi caused the space around Demon King to freeze instantly, making him appear as flat as a paper doll as he maintained his attacking posture.

"With this power of spacetime, it seems that Venerable Guiyi is only one step away from becoming the master of the universe."

The venerable man in the green robe thought to himself, and silently withdrew his outstretched hands.

"So brave!"

Faced with the Demon King's killing intent, Lu Yunhe raised an eyebrow. He dared to attack in front of two Universe Venerables. If he had had this resolve earlier, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

"Don't worry, Lu Yunhe, Virtual Universe Company will give you an explanation for this matter."

After defeating the Demon King in one move, Venerable Guiyi looked at Lu Yunhe beside him, and his friendly smile returned to his face.

"understand!"

Looking at the Demon King who was completely under control, Lu Yunhe felt a pang of regret.

Judging from this, he'll probably just spend hundreds of millions of years in some prison.

-------------------------------------

Death is impossible; the value of being granted the title of King and achieving immortality is still very high.

Although Lu Yunhe is highly talented and has been valued by the Lord of Chaos City, in the eyes of many people, he may not be as good as a King-level Immortal.

After all, even geniuses can fall from grace, just like Kodi before, who died under mysterious circumstances.

"Venerable Guiyi, leave this to me. I will not let anything here be revealed."

The green-robed Venerable thought of the treasure that Lu Yunhe had just used. While feeling slightly envious, he also took the initiative to take on the task of cleaning up the mess.

"Ok!"

Venerable Guiyi nodded slightly; such matters were naturally not his responsibility to handle personally. Apart from the orders of the Chaos City Lord, his main concern was the affairs of the entire Virtual Universe Company.

"Lu Yunhe, come with me to see the teacher first!"

Then, Venerable Guiyi directly used teleportation to take Lu Yunhe away from the Primal Secret Realm and head to the Initial Universe.

"Magic King!"

The venerable one in the green robe looked at the Demon King, who was still sealed, and couldn't help but sigh.

When Venerable Guiyi left, he did not lift the seal. It seems that he will not release the Demon King unless he throws him into the purgatory and imprisons him for hundreds of millions of years.

"Thank you for your help, Venerable One!"

The teleportation performed by the Universe Venerable was completely imperceptible to Lu Yunhe due to his current cultivation level, so he thanked the Guiyi Venerable for what had just happened.

The Primal Realm is still a long way from the Initial Universe. Even if a Universe Venerable can teleport up to a thousand light-years at a time, it would still take some time.

"There's no need to be so formal. My teacher told me that we've already confirmed our relationship in the virtual universe. You can just call me Second Senior Brother."

Venerable Guiyi smiled slightly, while a hint of curiosity lingered in his heart.

No matter how talented Lu Yunhe was, Venerable Guiyi had encountered similar cases over the years, but none of them had ever received such favor from the Lord of Chaos City.

Even a genius who appears only once every tens of millions of epochs is of little significance to the lords of the universe. If they are interested, they will at most take him as a nominal disciple, test him, and then consider taking him as a personal disciple.

However, not only did Master not test Lu Yunhe, but he even sent him to pick him up personally.

If he hadn't served the Lord of Chaos City for so many years and never heard of any scandals involving his master, he would have thought he was his master's biological son.

"Greetings, Second Senior Brother!" Lu Yunhe said hastily. In the universe, strength is paramount, so a title is nothing to worry about.

"Little junior brother!"

Upon hearing Lu Yunhe's address, Venerable Guiyi's smile became much more amiable, after all, his junior brother would always be more favored wherever he went.

"I became a disciple of my teacher very early on, which is why I was able to become the second senior brother. Among the many disciples under my teacher, there are quite a few who are stronger than me. It is only because of my teacher's special favor that I am able to be by his side often."

"Senior brother is too modest!"

Lu Yunhe smiled lightly. With the backing of the Chaos City Lord, he had no shortage of secret techniques and treasures from the Guiyi Venerable, and he also possessed the strength of a cosmic overlord.
