Age of Calamity in Swallowed Star

The day after the gathering ended.

Black Dragon Mountain Starfield, Hong's residential area welcomed a mysterious guest.

A young immortal dressed in luxurious black clothes sat in the master seat, facing Hong.

"Are you sure you've thought it through and want to leave with me now?" Heavenly God Marquis Tian Yi looked at Hong. "If you leave with me, you might not return for hundreds of thousands of years."

"Yes, I've already thought it through." Meeting Heavenly God Marquis Tian Yi's almost scrutinizing gaze, Hong nodded gently.

His eyes were exceptionally calm, without the slightest hesitation.

"Since that's the case, I won't ask any further."

Heavenly God Marquis Tian Yi was also an impatient person, so since Hong had already decided, he wouldn't delve into the matter too much.

"However, can you tell me the reason why you made up your mind so quickly?"

Heavenly God Marquis Tian Yi looked at this young Earth genius with interest, a glint of light flickering in his eyes.

"If I had to guess."

"Your decision… is likely related to the arena battle between Luo Feng and Rong Jun that just ended!?"

"Yes!" Hong still nodded gently, then sighed, "Yesterday's battle was indeed incredibly wonderful and intense, making people yearn for it… but it was also this battle that made me realize the huge gap between myself and the top geniuses."

"I didn't expect that in just thirty short years, the gap between me and Little Feng has become so huge."

There was a hint of regret in Hong's voice.

You know, they watched Luo Feng being born and worked together to nurture him.

From his toddling steps to his first independent entry into the Three Great Monster Ranches to kill his first monster, Hong was very clear about it.

And now… his strength has become a terrifying existence in the top ten of the Ganwu Universe Country.

This was both surprising, joyful, emotional, and exciting for Hong.

He knew that Luo Feng's talent and strength were very strong, but he didn't expect him to be this strong.

As for the even stronger monstrous Speaker Lin Ye, Hong couldn't help but have a bitter smile on his face when he thought of him.

That guy is simply inhumanly perverted.

"I know my situation. Having a teacher or not makes all the difference for me.

Without a teacher, the gap between me and Lin Ye, Luo Feng, and Lei Shen will only grow larger and larger, and I will be left further and further behind."

Hong had a faint smile on his face, "So I also want to follow Master Tian Yi to cultivate properly, step into the threshold of the Law of Light Origin as soon as possible, and then slowly figure it out."

"Good!"

Heavenly God Marquis Tian Yi nodded with a smile. He was very satisfied with Hong's performance and understanding. "Pressure is the driving force for improvement! Otherwise, you will only live a mediocre life and waste your talent."

"I think your state of mind and talent are stronger than ordinary martial artists, but you were born in humble circumstances and didn't receive good guidance from a young age, but it's still very rare to have this level of combat power."

"…" Hong quietly looked at Heavenly God Marquis Tian Yi.

In recent years, apart from obtaining some cultivation martial arts and secret techniques from Lin Ye, he had not sought more help from the latter.

Even Babata only occasionally gave them guidance.

What they did most was give some prepared resources and treasures to Hong and Lei Shen and other Earth martial artists.

Speaking of teaching… he could only recognize his weaknesses and shortcomings in sparring with Lin Ye, and then correct them.

In fact, except for Luo Feng who had the Meteor Star inheritance and Lin Ye's guidance, the other Earth martial artists had not received much systematic teaching at all.

Even so, they still achieved something, which is really not easy.

"Back then, many of the peak geniuses of my generation were buried in the yellow soil and corroded by time, and only a few of us were able to stand out from it and achieve eternal life."

"So, in the path of cultivation and becoming stronger… you must learn to actively fight for it!"

"…"

Listening to Heavenly God Marquis Tian Yi's teachings, a trace of solemnity and seriousness appeared on Hong's face.

"I will actively fight for it." Hong's eyes bloomed with extremely bright light.

"Because of the existence of the virtual universe, even if I am in other remote starfields, I can still see my daughter."

"As for my hometown… this place where I was born and raised, I will repay it well after I become as strong as my master."

When he got excited, Hong couldn't help but stand up: "This universe is full of endless magical mysteries, and I am going to pursue the pinnacle of martial arts in it, becoming the most dazzling one among hundreds of millions of strong people."

"Not only stand among the many powerhouses, but also become the most powerful and outstanding one among them!!"

"Good, good, worthy of being the inherited disciple chosen by my Tian Yi. It's commendable to have this state of mind, and I hope you can keep this state of mind forever, and use it as always to pursue, explore, and climb the martial arts… One day, you can become one of the human powerhouses." Heavenly God Marquis Tian Yi said with a smile.

"Yes, that's what I plan to do." Hong's face also became joyful, with a kind of heartfelt pleasure and joy.

Today, facing Heavenly God Marquis Tian Yi, he revealed the deepest desires in his heart.

"How about this, you prepare a little, and then take the spaceship and meet in the Void Starfield. I'll give you twenty-four hours to gather and say goodbye to your family and friends."

"Understood!" Hong nodded.

………

Almost at the same time.

Huang Shaoying and Lei Shen contacted another immortal existence, expressing their willingness to follow him to cultivate.

Hearing this news, God Lord Watt, who was far away in other starfields, directly entered the virtual universe and had a discussion with the two.

Finally, they agreed to meet at Jiaolong Star in three days, and God Lord Watt would personally drive the spaceship to pick them up.

Then start a long cosmic journey.

Huang Shaoying and Lei Shen were full of expectations for this.

Not only the three of them, but also some Earth martial artists who had already agreed with the immortal gods, also contacted their contact objects.

Without any accident, they all expressed to those great existences their willingness to follow them to cultivate.

For such a good thing, even these immortals are naturally very happy to see it.

After some discussion, they each agreed on a departure time.

Some immortals even expressed their willingness to come to the Milky Way to pick up their disciples.

……

Three days later, at night.

Virtual Universe, on Black Dragon Mountain Island.

Inside Lin Ye's villa area.

The lights were bright and there was a lively scene.

This time, in order to send off many Earth martial artists, he spent a lot of money.

Not only did he choose the best chefs of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire to serve as the head chef, but he also selected top musicians from the Ganwu Universe Kingdom to perform for this farewell banquet.

In general, that is, being rich and willful!

"Our Earth powerhouses, gather is a ball of fire, scatter is a sky full of stars!"

In the open-air manor, Lin Ye, who had retreated from the decisive battle space, held a banquet once again.

However, compared to the previous grand and luxurious celebration banquet, this time the scale of the party was much smaller.

Because this is a farewell party for many Earth powerhouses, naturally no other forces need to participate.

However, there are still two special existences that have joined it——

Emperor Canglan and God Lord Black Dragon.

"Welcome all the young talents to set sail for the Ganwu Universe Kingdom. I, Black Dragon, wish you all a bright future and become eternal existences as soon as possible."

As the number one person in a medium civilization country, God Lord Black Dragon did not have the slightest arrogance in front of Lin Ye, and was very approachable.

Not only him, but even Emperor Canglan, the pinnacle existence of an immortal legion master, was also unusually low-key.

He said with a smile on his face, looking around, "The Black Dragon Mountain Starfield and the Canglan Starfield are one family. In the future, if you have achievements, don't forget my Canglan."

After speaking, this immortal directly picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

The joy and pride in it, naturally, need not be said.

"Thank you, Emperor Black Dragon (God Lord Canglan)!!" Hearing this, everyone also raised their glasses together, and then drank the wine in their glasses.

……

That night.

Reality's Milky Way, Hongning City, Asia.

"Ning, I'm leaving."

"The next time we meet, I don't know when it will be, but I will always remember you."

The core of Hongning City has this cemetery full of flower seas.

The colorful flowers cover the earth, blooming all year round, giving people a feeling of forgetting to return.

But the largest number of flowers in the sea are sunflowers.

Because the owner here loved sunflowers during his lifetime.

To be precise, this is just one person's tomb——

Hong's wife——'Ning'

At this moment, Hong is standing in front of a huge tombstone.

He is holding a large bouquet of sunflowers, looking at the still smiling young woman in the black and white picture, his eyes are slightly red: "Unconsciously, you have been gone for almost fifty years!"

"You don't know, our daughter has been married for a long time, and the eldest grandson is about to get married."

"And I am about to leave Earth, leave you… and embark on the path of exploring the mysteries of the universe and pursuing the pinnacle of martial arts!"

As he spoke, Hong unconsciously squatted down, leaning against the huge tombstone carved with black and white photos, looking like he was snuggling with his wife.

"You said, if there were no RR mutant virus and monsters back then, would we still be together now, becoming two old killers!"

A long-lost smile appeared on Hong's face.

But as he smiled, he cried.

"Ning, I want to pursue the pinnacle of martial arts and become that kind of existence that reverses time and space!"

Turning his head to look at his wife 'Ning', who was still smiling, Hong was already in tears.

"I will go on, keep going!" Hong stared at the tombstone, as if he saw the scene of his competition with another female killer, and muttered to himself.

He has never hesitated, nor has he given up.

Since even an immortal existence like Heavenly God Marquis Tian Yi has said that only when he becomes an immortal, or even a powerhouse beyond immortality, can he revive his wife, then Hong will definitely work hard to do it.

Even if this road is extremely difficult and full of thorns and setbacks, Hong will not retreat in the slightest.

Others may not understand, but only Hong himself knows that reviving his wife is his biggest obsession in this life.

For this, he is willing to give everything!

But——

Hong is also very clear that the road to becoming an immortal is too difficult, as for powerhouses beyond immortality… the possibility is too low, too low.

"Maybe one day, I will fall on this road." Hong suddenly smiled: "If I fall, I can meet you again!"

Without drinking, Hong was already drunk.

Wine does not intoxicate people, people intoxicate themselves. Hong got up from the tombstone and walked forward.

"Ning'er, on the eve of parting, let me demonstrate a 'Hongning Thirteen Spears' for you!"

"In the past, I ordered this spear technique to be 'Apocalypse'. You always thought I was very chuunibyou. Now I will rename it again."

"Whoosh! !"

Suddenly, the sky poured down rain.

Hong held the purple-black spear in both hands and began to wave his spear technique.

Without any deliberate burst, he just released his heart's vent through the "Hongning Thirteen Spears".

With parting imminent, he was also very reluctant.

While looking at the black and white photo on the tombstone, while the spear was like a dragon, Hong felt that he was a little drunk.

A young figure vaguely appeared in front of him. It was Ning's figure. She was in a black nightgown, still graceful and beautiful, just like the first time he met her.

Unforgettable

"Those who are sadly despondent are only parting." Hong suddenly smiled.

Unconsciously, his body, including the spear in his hand, was covered in black light.

Needles cannot penetrate, water cannot splash!

Whoosh——

A trace of black awn suddenly appeared on Hong's spear.

A spear was handed out, as if a black thread cut through the long sky, cutting the space in front into two parts.

Without his knowledge, Hong created the fourteenth spear after the "Hongning Thirteen Spears" with his longing for his deceased wife.

This kind of sadness and despondency, soul寄思念, the heart is on the spear, as if the spear is his dearest relative.

"Hahaha, thank you Ning'er, if it weren't for missing you, I would never have a new breakthrough in the spear technique we created together."

Hong smiled and continued to wield his spear, but the spear technique became more and more ethereal and illusory, transcending the world.

"Whoosh! !"

With one spear, Hong seemed to disappear into the rain, disappearing without a trace.

In fact, his light field has made another breakthrough, giving people the illusion of disappearing without a trace.

But his spear technique is untraceable, difficult to see with the naked eye, and no one can stop the trajectory that cannot be judged naturally, the direction it is going.

Whoever blocks it will definitely be beheaded on the spot… The power of this spear, even Lei Shen will be defeated when fighting against it, enough to make every audience feel palpitations.

"Finally… the field has achieved another breakthrough, reaching the eighth level!!"

"Not only that, I seem to feel the existence of another force, that is… the breath of the Law of Light Origin!!"

As witty as Hong, he understood the power he felt when his field broke through just now in an instant.

That is the special power that belongs to the law.

Now he has finally felt the law and is gradually approaching the level of Lin Ye Luo Feng…

Hong was overjoyed, and the speed of waving his spear became faster and faster.

A long time.

Hong put away his spear and stood up, letting the raindrops the size of beans hit his body, he still stood proudly, staring at the tombstone, his body burning with fighting spirit.

"Ning'er… wait for me!!"

With that, Hong 'whooshed' and shot into the sky, disappearing from the cemetery...

...
