Age of Calamity in Swallowed Star

In the virtual universe network, a channel exclusive to the human race's upper echelons.

The many human clan powerhouses participating in this battle were fiercely discussing countermeasures with each other.

The whole scene became incredibly lively, with everyone voicing their opinions.

However.

As their discussion progressed, almost every powerhouse felt that the entire war was somewhat strange.

Something wasn't right!

The fact that the alien race's universe lords weren't participating in the battle gave the feeling that there were conspiracies and tricks involved.

After all, the number of universe lords among the five peak races was several times that of the human race.

The battle had been going on for several months since the beginning.

Yet not a single one of these universe lords had appeared, which couldn't help but arouse suspicion.

After a long silence, City Lord Chaos finally spoke, "Since the ancient war, the alien races have been lying dormant for so long… Even if they suddenly appeared with dozens of universe lords in this battle, I would feel it was all within expectations.

But the fact that not a single universe lord has appeared is truly terrifying!"

"Senior brother, why don't you activate the virtual universe secret technique to thoroughly investigate the entire universe!?

See where these sneaky guys are hiding!? This time, we must drag them out of their rat holes!!"

Darkness Lord tentatively asked, with a look of eagerness on his face.

He had long hated these alien race universe lords hiding in the dark, gnashing his teeth.

Unfortunately, there wasn't a single clue, so there was naturally no way to start.

"I also want to investigate the entire universe in all directions, but this secret technique consumes an extremely large amount of divine power. One use can consume as much as two and a half tenths of my divine power. If a universe supreme being with a fast recovery speed were to use it, the consumption and recovery would be about the same."

"Moreover, the virtual universe cannot cover areas where universe supreme beings exist."

As he spoke, City Lord Chaos couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness and frustration.

He was not a universe supreme being, so he was still lacking in terms of divine power.

"…"

For a time, the entire chat channel fell into a brief silence.

All the universe lords were silent, not speaking.

They all knew how frustrating and difficult it must be to have a powerful secret technique but not be able to use it freely and happily!?

"It's okay, monitoring the battlefield like this is already quite good."

"Going too far is as bad as not going far enough. Teacher, it's best to maintain the status quo."

After a long time, Lin Ye finally spoke, breaking the silence and earnestly saying, "Perhaps the next battle will depend on everyone.

Everyone should put in more effort and carefully investigate. It's good for Teacher City Lord to be stationed at the main camp so he can rest a bit."

"There's also one more thing!"

City Lord Chaos looked at the virtual images of all the universe lords present and solemnly said:

"Everyone, be vigilant, pay attention to adapting to the situation, and if it really doesn't work, use Qian Jie's teleportation tokens to support each other. You absolutely cannot have any problems."

"Yes, we will be vigilant." Darkness Lord and Ice Peak Lord exchanged glances and calmly replied.

"However… Qian Jie must be careful not to get carried away. You are the youngest and most high-spirited!" The former turned to look at his little junior nephew and reminded him in a warm voice.

In his opinion, the one who needed the most attention was Lin Ye, this rising dark horse.

The reason was simple.

The universe lords present were all old guys who had experienced countless eras.

The battles, fierce battles, and death battles they had participated in were countless, so they naturally wouldn't easily become bloodthirsty or get carried away because of it.

But Lin Ye… this universe lord with a young age and outstanding strength was the one they were more worried about.

"No problem, I have a clone and two supreme treasures. There shouldn't be anyone who's so blind, right!"

Lin Ye was full of confidence and said in a calm voice, "Anyone who dares to come will be beaten to death! Beaten to death! Beaten to death!"

"Hahaha, you're the most domineering!" Darkness Lord said with a chuckle, "But you have the strength, don't you?"

"Little Yezi." Lord Fenchen looked at his founding disciple and solemnly reminded him, "I know you're very powerful, but you still have to be very careful in this kind of race war."

"Observe your surroundings at all times during battle to avoid being ambushed!!"

"That's right, those alien races are very cunning, so you must be careful and extra careful."

"Don't underestimate them. These alien races have many tricks and like to stab people in the back."

Hearing Lord Fenchen's words, the other universe lords and the three universe overlords also sent reminders.

"Don't worry, everyone. I'm not just myself now, but represent the highest level of combat power of the human race. With the change in identity, I will naturally be extremely careful."

"If I can win, I'll fight. If I can't win, I'll run away directly. Even the Dream Demon Ancestor and the Shock Demon Ancestor will definitely not be able to do anything to me. Believe me!"

Lin Ye replied with a smile, still looking relaxed and carefree.

In everyone's opinion, this Lord Qianjie didn't take the enemy seriously at all.

In fact, that was indeed the case.

He wished that there were as many alien race powerhouses surrounding him as possible, the stronger the better!

That way, he wouldn't have to go looking for them everywhere.

Because after searching for so long, he could feel that his patience was obviously not as sufficient as before.

It was as if an invisible killing intent was slowly eroding his heart, wanting to gradually turn him into a killing machine.

Lin Ye was also very accurately aware of the changes in himself.

Therefore, he was also trying to prevent the hostility and killing intent in his heart from occupying his consciousness and turning him into a machine that only knew how to kill.

"The Lin Yuan battlefield is in critical condition!!"

At this moment, another alarm message came.

Lin Ye was only slightly stunned before instantly locking onto the battlefield closest to him.

As one of the highest commanders of this campaign, he had almost memorized the entire cosmic terrain of the original universe.

Especially those places close to him, he paid close attention to them at all times.

In order to strike in time!

"The Lin Yuan battlefield, I need a day and a half to get there. Tell them to hold on longer!!"

"Buzz!—"

As soon as the voice fell, Lin Ye directly merged into time and space and rushed to the Lin Yuan battlefield at the fastest speed.

Without stopping for a moment.

……

At the same time.

Lin Yuan battlefield.

In the endless distance, there was a space vortex, with countless brilliant light pillars and divine power intertwined.

It continuously shot out from this vortex, attacking the surrounding alien race star fleets.

If Lin Ye were here, he would definitely discover that this golden vortex was an AAAA-level vortex base.

Its suppression and control of the surrounding time and space could be described as extremely powerful.

Even ordinary universe venerables and overlord-level existences had no way to tear it apart and could only stare blankly.

Unless a universe lord personally interfered with time and space, it would be possible to affect it.

However.

This defensive base, which was originally extremely troublesome for the alien race universe overlords, was now encountering unprecedented difficulties.

Because what they were facing were special existences that the human race had never seen before, both sturdy and powerful.

They couldn't even be described as living beings, but rather as very powerful and remarkable puppet war beasts.

Strange invisible attacks were launched from the depths of the universe, targeting this powerful divine fortress.

“Buzz buzz buzz～～～”

The attacks landed on the energy shield of the divine base, stirring up waves of destruction that rippled towards the surrounding universe space.

The power was remarkable and terrifying. Every trace could easily tear apart the divine bodies of universe overlords and directly cause them to fall.

Occasionally, a few attacks landed on the surface of the base, leaving behind white marks of varying sizes.

“Damn it, what kind of garbage dares to attack us? They’re really courting death!!”

The loud voice of Lord Linyuan directly roared out from the divine base, and his aura appeared incomparably arrogant.

This kind of momentum was not directed at the people present, but at the powerful mechanical war beasts secretly attacking from a distance.

Compared to being attacked and passively beaten, universe overlord-level powerhouses like Lord Linyuan wanted to go out and fight in person even more.

Even if he might fall here, he would not hesitate.

“Lord Linyuan, I know you’re cursing again, aren’t you!?”

“You want to go out and fight the enemy and then die heroically, don’t you!?”

Without any warning.

A teasing voice rang out from his communication channel.

The former was slightly stunned at first, and then narrowed his eyes and said, "Chief Loser, how are you!? You haven't died in battle, have you?"

“You brat… I’m doing great. I’m being served with alien race treasures. Just now, Lord Qianjie supported us and killed many of the insect race’s top overlords, leaving behind treasures all over the place. It’s simply wonderful. I’ve never fought such a rich battle in eight lifetimes!”

Lord Linyuan: “……”

“So… you also need to suppress your hot temper and hold on for reinforcements! As long as people are still here, there will still be opportunities!!”

“Yes, I understand.” Hearing his old friend’s earnest persuasion, the thought of dying together that had arisen in Lord Linyuan’s heart instantly extinguished.

As the strongest commander of this battlefield, he must not sacrifice himself lightly.

Even if it means being a coward, he must be a coward until the last moment!!

As soon as the voice fell.

Lord Linyuan was not willing to show weakness at all. Thousands of black holes appeared on the surface of the divine base, and fierce counterattacks arrived in an instant.

A vast and boundless battle of mutual bombardment began, and the energy consumed every moment was extremely huge.

In the ever-existing depths of the universe, one behemoth after another roamed.

They were extremely huge.

The majestic bodies of millions of kilometers reflected a cold gleam in the black light. Countless centipede-like legs waved, tearing the space into hideous cracks.

Every time the centipede-like tail swung, it could shatter the space into torrents, and the sound was as vast as the collapse of the sky.

These mechanical puppets with upper bodies resembling Medusa released a powerful aura comparable to that of a universe lord.

The surging and vast energy was transmitted to every part of the space, and even those stars were directly crushed into dust.

Incomparably powerful space-time fluctuations spread to the surroundings like a surging tide.

“Roar!!”

“Roar!!”

Deafening roars wrapped in endless killing intent swept towards the surrounding void.

“Damn it, this must be a powerful energy monster created by the mechanical race imitating the guardians of the first layer of the Star Tower’s forbidden area. We actually encountered it.”

Lord Linyuan stared calmly at the mechanical race guardians raging in the distance and cursed secretly.

For countless eras, he had entered the Star Tower countless times.

He was naturally extremely familiar with the terrifying puppets among the guardians of the forbidden area.

Now that he had encountered imitations on the battlefield, the anger in his heart was indescribable.

“What a powerful snake!!”

Several immortal kings were completely shocked by the aura of this huge creature.

They felt that they were extremely insignificant in front of it.

The other party might only need one breath to annihilate all of them.

“Get ready now. Each of you is responsible for pouring your divine power into the corresponding part of the fortress defense system without reservation!!”

As the strongest person on this battlefield, Lord Linyuan judged the situation and unhesitatingly ordered, "If necessary, you can let your clones drive the universe warships to attract the attention of the alien race in order to share the pressure on the fortress."

“Understood!” The remaining universe venerables and immortals all answered generously.

Dozens of huge mechanical snake monsters spat out light pillars, continuously hitting the outermost energy shield of the divine base.

“Bang bang bang!!——”

A muffled sound rang out, and energy splashed out.

Those powerful guardian war beasts from the mechanical race attacked frantically time and time again, and the human race powerhouses stationed in various places also fought desperately.

Despite this, they were ultimately no match for the huge consumption of divine power. The clones blocking the front quickly shattered… and then the main body took over.

“Don’t be afraid. With so many universe lords in our human race, if I die, I can still be resurrected.”

“That’s right, we’re not afraid of death. What’s the point of being resurrected if it’s called death!?”

“Boom boom boom!!——”

As these terrifying war beasts continued to attack, each of their attacks was equivalent to the full blow of a top universe overlord.

Hitting the energy shield, the energy consumed by the divine base was conceivable.

“Why hasn’t he come yet, Lord Qianjie, please save us!!”

“Our divine power has been exhausted. If we continue to fight, we won’t even have the last bit of resistance left!”

Some immortal kings had already begun to struggle, and they longed for the arrival of Lord Qianjie.

“Buzz!!”

Suddenly—

In the core of those terrifying mechanical races, a figure suddenly condensed, releasing a dazzling light, and even immortals could hardly look directly at it.

“It’s Lord Qianjie!! Lord Qianjie is here!!”

The surviving universe venerables and immortal gods in the fortress cheered.

“It’s a universe lord of the human race! Run quickly!”

“Don’t run, let’s join forces to deal with him. I don’t believe we can’t kill this universe lord!”

“Bullshit! We can’t beat a universe lord!”

The mechanical race universe venerables who were driving the mechanical war beasts actually had differences after seeing Lin Ye.

Some people decided to fight him, while most chose to run away.

In the end, only a few lonely mechanical beasts remained suspended in the starry sky, forming a circle around Lin Ye, while the others fled at full power.

"Escape!? You have no chance of escaping!"

Towards the direction in which those mechanical beasts were fleeing, Lin Ye stretched out his right hand and swiped it in the air.

"Buzz buzz buzz!!——"

Waves of invisible energy instantly swept across billions of light-years of space-time, and the mechanical beasts that were desperately fleeing stopped in place like puppets.

Among them, whether they were alien races of Universe Venerables or Immortal Gods, all had their auras extinguished.

Not a single one survived!
