Age of Calamity in Swallowed Star

“Lord of a Thousand Tribulations, you are quite impressive. You can withstand my pressure without changing expression.

And you're quite honest! You've spoken your mind.”

As the Blood Cloud Hall Master's voice faded, his divine body and blood-red battle robe quickly disappeared.

In their place,

was the cyan battle armor that Mountain Guest often wore, along with the crystalline horns growing from his head.

Lin Ye quietly watched this Mountain Guest, his mind racing, but he didn't say a word.

Although he was familiar with the original work, he still didn't quite understand this 'Jin God King' who harbored hatred for a fallen kingdom.

At the same time,

the killing aura that permeated the surrounding space instantly dissipated, turning into a vast and ethereal aura.

“Junior Lin Ye, 'Lord of a Thousand Tribulations' of the human race, greets Senior Mountain Guest, the strongest in the universe.”

Even when facing Mountain Guest, Lin Ye maintained an unyielding demeanor.

His words were soft and unhurried, his expression calm and serene.

Mountain Guest: “……”

“I didn't expect that even with such careful concealment, you would still see through me. It's truly remarkable.”

Mountain Guest deeply examined Lin Ye, his eyes filled with complexity.

From the latter, he could clearly sense the aura of someone originating from Earth.

It was exactly the same as when he created the Earthlings.

But upon closer inspection, Lin Ye possessed some differences from the others.

Even he could only vaguely sense that this young man was definitely not as approachable as he appeared on the surface.

Instead, he seemed to be hiding something profound.

“This kid… is not simple at all, very interesting!” Mountain Guest thought to himself, his gaze sweeping over him.

“Hahaha!!!”

Finally, the strongest being in the universe let out a series of laughter that resounded like great bells.

“I didn't expect… the 'Lord of a Thousand Tribulations' who has been making waves throughout the universe and among the various races recently is also a member of the race I created. Earth is indeed extraordinary.”

“……” Listening to Mountain Guest's self-reflection, Lin Ye remained silent and chose to listen quietly.

After all, the former's identity was not just that of the strongest being in the universe.

He was a Jin God King from the Origin Continent.

His identity was exceptionally extraordinary.

Despite this, Lin Ye didn't feel discouraged or disheartened in the slightest.

The resources and starting point he possessed far surpassed what a God King-level powerhouse could compare with.

The existence of the 【Chaotic Source Codex】 invisibly helped Lin Ye build his own confidence during cultivation.

This treasure codex surpassed the 【Nine Tribulations Codex】 inscribed by Mountain Guest with 'Celestial Soul Crystals' and could lead to higher levels.

What's more… Lin Ye had yet to discover the true secret of the Thousand Tribulation Pagoda.

He could only slightly utilize the divine power stored within the Thousand Tribulation Pagoda.

Beyond that, he couldn't use it at all.

However, Lin Ye's intuition told him that the Thousand Tribulation Pagoda was definitely on the same level as the 【Chaotic Source Codex】.

Therefore, he was also full of anticipation and confidence for his future.

As long as he cultivated diligently… he would eventually surpass everyone in this universe, even in the three thousand universe seas!!

“Lord of a Thousand Tribulations, you don't seem to fear me!?” Mountain Guest, transformed into his original appearance, looked at Lin Ye and asked with interest.

Beside him, the Star Giant Beast Ancestor was also curiously sizing up this human universe master. The latter gave him a feeling that was impossible to see through no matter what.

Extremely unusual!

“Fear!? Of course, I'm afraid. Both Senior Mountain Guest and Senior Star Giant Beast Ancestor are the strongest beings in this universe, while I'm just a universe master. I still have some fear of your majesty.”

Lin Ye smiled and replied, “However, you don't have any murderous intent or hostility towards me, so I don't need to be afraid.”

“Now we are in the Yan God Secret Realm of the Initial Universe. Even if the two are powerful, they are only equivalent to the level of the Chaos City Lord, right?”

“Smart little fellow, I've always liked smart people.”

The Ancestor smiled and nodded, changing his view of this young human universe master.

“Hahaha, so you're quite bold!?”

“My courage isn't great, but my strength isn't weak.” Although Lin Ye appeared humble, the sharpness in his words was not weak at all.

Now he… not only represented himself but was also one of the human universe masters.

More importantly,

Lin Ye was now one of the five giants of the human race—one of the controllers of the Virtual Universe Company.

When dealing with outsiders, he naturally had to be as tough as possible!

The Palace Master of Heavenly Eclipse blinked his eyes, staring blankly at Lin Ye, who was confidently facing the two strongest beings in the universe alone, and silently gave him a thumbs up in his heart.

If it were him,

he would not have said such a thing in ninety-nine percent of cases.

Because Mountain Guest and Star Giant Beast Ancestor, who were overlords and even considered strong in the three thousand universe seas, also had their own pride.

Once this pride was broken, even an existence like the Palace Master of Heavenly Eclipse could not bear the consequences.

He could be killed with one blow.

But if the person who said these words was Lin Ye, the result would be different.

Thousands of years ago, Lin Ye's battle as the 'Lord of a Thousand Tribulations' to kill the Heavenly Wolf Master was still fresh in the memory of the Palace Master of Heavenly Eclipse.

From the beginning, the former showed super strong combat power, suppressing the Heavenly Wolf Master. Later, during the heavily wounded escape, he was caught up by his Thousand Shadow Clone and beaten to death.

In this battle, the Heavenly Wolf Master could be said to have fallen in extreme humiliation.

But it could also be seen from the side that Lin Ye's strength was powerful and fierce.

What's more, after five thousand years, the combat power of this newly promoted human universe master had brought an even higher level of unfathomable feeling to the Palace Master of Heavenly Eclipse.

Perhaps as long as Lin Ye had the idea, defeating him might only be a matter of moments.

Like when he fought against Emperor Yan, he was fearless, completely burning his divine power. The continuous explosion of divine power made Emperor Yan unable to resist.

Even though the latter had three peak treasures, he was still severely suppressed by Lin Ye, whose attacks became more and more fierce, and his divine body was severely damaged.

If Lin Ye hadn't given Emperor Yan a small life for Mountain Guest's sake.

Now, it was very likely that the entire Yan God Race, like the Heavenly Wolf Race, would have been directly removed from this universe by Lin Ye.

After all, this guy was simply an enhanced version of cutting grass and roots when he killed forces that were not in the human camp.

He would not let go of even one alien race until every one of them was slaughtered!

On the other hand, Emperor Yan, because of his severely injured divine body, had been silently bowing his head beside him.

He didn't dare to look at either Mountain Guest or Lin Ye.

For no other reason than that it was too embarrassing.

“Then, Senior Mountain Guest, why did you descend to the Yan God Secret Realm as the Blood Cloud Hall Master and scare me like that?”

Lin Ye looked at the peaceful old man with crystalline horns, Mountain Guest, and asked in confusion, “As long as the senior shows his true face, I won't say anything.”

“You kid…” The Ancestor took a deep look and said, “You're really a bit unforgiving!”

Although he said these words, everyone could feel that the Ancestor had no malice towards Lin Ye.

Facing the Blood Cloud Hall Master, a terrifying figure who was an enemy all over the universe, like a madman, Lin Ye was calm and composed.

From this, a lot could be seen.

“It's boring to stand here and chat. Little Yan, go arrange a banquet. I'll sit down and chat with your master and Senior Ancestor.”

Lin Ye glanced at Emperor Yan, who was standing quietly like a wooden man beside him, and ordered without any politeness.

“Yes! Okay!” Emperor Yan was stared at by Lin Ye's gaze and trembled.

Immediately, he went to make arrangements.

Mountain Guest: “……”

Star Giant Beast Ancestor: “……”

This scene made the two strongest beings in the universe look at each other, and a hint of realization appeared on their faces—

It seemed that this Thousand Tribulation Lord of the human race had governed Emperor Yan submissively.

……

In the main hall of the Yan God Race,

Lin Ye, Mountain Guest, and Star Giant Beast Ancestor were sitting around a white jade table. A faint mist escaped from the table, ethereal and illusory.

“Lord of a Thousand Tribulations, I see that you also came from the Earth I created and accepted Luo Feng as a disciple. Is this true?”

Facing Lin Ye, Mountain Guest asked this question.

“Yes, Luo Feng is my first disciple and the only disciple I have accepted.”

Lin Ye looked at Mountain Guest and said word by word.

“This kid, didn't disappoint you, senior!?”

The former's mouth showed a faint smile, seemingly meaningful.

“This guy was able to pass the life-and-death inheritance of the Star Tower during the Realm Lord period and become Emperor Yan's disciple, my third disciple. He's really good!!”

Speaking, Mountain Guest glanced at Emperor Yan, who was standing respectfully aside, and shook his head and sighed lightly: “Once upon a time, I also placed a lot of hope on Emperor Yan, but unfortunately…”

“Not a pity!” Lin Ye also shook his head and said calmly: “Senior now has a disciple like Luo Feng, so just place your hope on him.”

“……” Hearing this, Mountain Guest showed a pensive look on his face, and then said: “It seems very reasonable! I think it can be done!”

Emperor Yan still didn't say anything, of course, he didn't dare to say anything.

The current leader of the Yan God Race has been reduced to a waiter serving tea and water for everyone.

Because everyone sitting on this table was much stronger than him.

“At the beginning, I sensed you entering the Star Tower, but why did you refuse to enter it for trial!?”

Without any warning, Mountain Guest suddenly stared at Lin Ye and asked such a question.

He had high hopes for Lin Ye, and his depth even surpassed his expectations for his eldest disciple Puti, second disciple Emperor Yan, and youngest disciple Luo Feng.

However, unexpectedly.

Lin Ye only strolled around the outside of the Star Tower, and after passing through a forbidden area, he slipped away.

Such a result was indeed a great loss for Mountain Guest.

Such a monstrous human genius… If he was taken to cultivate well, his future achievements would definitely be more than the strongest in the universe.

It's just, it's a pity…

Lin Ye knew nothing about Mountain Guest's thoughts.

Similarly, he didn't want to know at all.

He knew very well in his heart.

The inheritance of the Star Tower can only be one person, and only City Lord Luo.

Even if he was fortunate enough to inherit the Star Tower, he would also deprive Luo Feng of his good fortune.

At that time, there may be one less City Lord Luo in this universe.

And only one more universe's strongest Luo Feng.

Lin Ye could never see such a scene.

After all, eggs cannot be placed in one basket.

He wanted to constantly become stronger while helping to promote Luo Feng's growth.

“How about it, consider it? It's okay to become my disciple now.”

Faced with Lin Ye in such a situation, Mountain Guest still gave his olive branch.

“……” Faced with Mountain Guest with a smile on his face, Lin Ye did not directly agree, but showed a thoughtful expression on his face.

What the hell does this guy want to do!?

Is it to cast a wide net to catch big fish!?

Or is it still for the revenge he has always had in his heart!?

………

One useful message after another flashed through Lin Ye's mind, and he was analyzing it at high speed.

But in the end, he still chose to reject Mountain Guest's kindness.

The reason is very simple.

Lin Ye himself has too many secrets. If they are exposed, it will definitely cause very big trouble.

Moreover, he is now only matching the strongest in the universe, and he is not even the master of the universe.

If he encounters those Void and Eternal True Gods above the strongest in the universe in the future, wouldn't he just die?

Therefore, adhering to the idea of ​​keeping personal secrets, Lin Ye finally politely refused Mountain Guest's kindness.

“Sorry, senior, I still can't be your disciple.”

“The strongest treasure, and not just one, is that okay?”

“Thank you for your kindness.” Lin Ye shook his head.

And Mountain Guest continued to increase the bargaining chips, and all kinds of rare treasures and palace treasures were constantly taken out to lure Lin Ye.

To be honest, Lin Ye's heart was a little shaken.

But he has the Thousand Tribulation Pagoda and the Chaotic Source Codex.

No matter how powerful Mountain Guest is, he is only a junior god king in the Origin Continent.

Compared with the real chaotic source life, the two are not at the same level at all, and there is no way to compare them.

“But… since we can't become master and apprentice, we can also become good friends!?”

Even if he rejected Mountain Guest's kindness, Lin Ye did not forget to win over such a big shot for the human race.

And then there's the helmsman of the Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance—the First Ancestor.

“Don’t look at me. My Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance maintains neutrality. We won’t participate on either side!”

Seeing Lin Ye’s fox-like gaze, the First Ancestor immediately understood his intentions.

Truly a clever fellow who readily embraces good advice.

“Alright, then. But if Senior First Ancestor ever wants to visit the Human Race, just let me know. Whether it’s the real world or the virtual universe network, Lin Ye will be there at your beck and call,” Lin Ye assured him, patting his chest.

“Okay, good!” The First Ancestor nodded and then looked at Seated Mountain Guest.

It seemed that everything revolved around this individual.
