Age of Calamity in Swallowed Star

Inclined Peak Realm.

A banquet organized by Mountain Seater for the strongest beings in the universe was still proceeding merrily.

Lin Ye held nothing back, sharing everything he could, deeply moving the group of universe's strongest.

"Truly an eye-opener," the Yanlong True God exclaimed.

"The Thousand Tribulations Master is already so formidable at the universe master level. If he breaks through to become a true god-level powerhouse, he might be comparable to an ordinary void true god. His potential is simply limitless!"

Lin Ye smiled. "Senior, you flatter me. I'm just lucky. I don't deserve such praise."

He spoke with humility and respect, displaying both modesty and magnanimity.

Void True God powerhouses are absolute apex existences even when considering the entire universe sea. The two holy lands wouldn't deliberately provoke beings of that level.

The terror of their strength… is simply unimaginable for ordinary universe masters.

Only those who have stepped into the ranks of the universe's strongest can deeply understand that extraordinary level.

"I'm puzzled. Why is the Thousand Tribulations Master so powerful at the universe master level?" the Minglan True God asked.

"To be honest, I'm also very curious," the Starry Sky Behemoth Ancestor chimed in. "I wonder if my little friend can enlighten us."

One universe's strongest after another, including Mountain Seater, all looked at Lin Ye, expressing great curiosity about the growth and cultivation of this newcomer.

So powerful at the universe master level!? What could be the reason!?

If they knew the reason, it could provide them with some inspiration and help.

Therefore, apart from Mountain Seater, everyone else was incredibly eager and curious.

Lin Ye wasn't surprised by this situation, as it was within his expectations.

Before he rose to prominence, he was also very curious about the 'Thunder God' and 'Hong,' these two super powerhouses from Earth, and desperately wanted to become stronger in the crisis-ridden Great Nirvana Era.

Therefore, he fully understood the thoughts of these three true god-level powerhouses, including the Starry Sky Behemoth Ancestor.

Lin Ye's gaze swept across the four super existences present, all of whom possessed great strength and status, and he said with a smile:

"Since everyone is so curious, then I'll be frank. However, this is my secret. After you know it, don't spread it easily. The fewer people who know, the better."

"Of course," the Yanlong True God said repeatedly. Just kidding, the Thousand Tribulations Master was invited by Mountain Seater, and his status was much higher than his and Minglan's.

Moreover, the less known about Lin Ye, the better.

If everyone knew, it wouldn't be meaningful.

"The path of cultivation and becoming stronger… has always been strange and varied. Everyone has their own path, and each path has its ups and downs," Lin Ye said, word by word. "And I… gained inspiration from the original ancestor's path, and thus embarked on my own."

"The original ancestor's path!!" Hearing Lin Ye's words, the expressions of the Yanlong True God and Minglan True God immediately changed.

They seemed to recall some long-ago events, which was why their expressions changed so much.

"Unexpected! Unexpected!"

Mountain Seater's pair of cunning and profound eyes carefully examined Lin Ye, and he couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect you, kid, to actually be walking the path of the original ancestor, that monstrous being."

Although he said so, the treasure refining master of the universe sea didn't think so in his heart.

Following the paths of others and cultivating the secret methods of powerhouses can help one achieve breakthroughs in realm and strength more quickly.

However, Lin Ye drew upon the mysteries of the original ancestor's cultivation to improve his own secret methods and cultivation, thereby comprehending more and stronger ultimate techniques.

"So my path has also been named 'Chaotic Origin Path,'" Lin Ye said with a smile, looking calm. "Of course, I feel that this is just my path. Perhaps after endless epochs, another stunningly talented person will appear and tell me… that their path is even more powerful."

"Chaotic Origin Path!? What kind of path is this? It sounds very powerful!"

The Starry Sky Behemoth Ancestor said with great interest, his large eyes constantly scanning Lin Ye, as if trying to see through this young man completely.

"Alright, senior, please don't make fun of this junior anymore. Although I have decent strength here, I can't compare to you two."

"Of course, you should see who we are!" The Starry Sky Behemoth Ancestor said with some pride upon hearing this.

"…" Mountain Seater rolled his eyes at him, but didn't say anything.

After all, they were old friends of many years, and the depth of their friendship was difficult for others to imagine.

"Senior Mountain Seater, the secret realm we're going to this time, is the danger so great that even you can't handle it!?" Lin Ye couldn't help but ask.

He had always been puzzled. As a top-tier powerhouse who had roamed the universe sea for countless years, he should have many powerful methods at his disposal.

Even if he encountered such a situation, he should be able to enter at will.

After all, it wasn't a terrifying secret realm like the three great forbidden lands, so the level of danger shouldn't be high.

"It's different!" Mountain Seater sighed. "Although this secret realm can't compare to the terror of the three great forbidden lands, it's not far off."

Lin Ye tilted his head slightly. "Why is that?"

"Because after entering this secret realm, even void true gods or ordinary true god-level powerhouses will all be suppressed to the universe master realm, and the level of danger is extremely high for universe masters who venture deep inside. Basically, 99% of them will perish."

At this time, the Yanlong True God stood up and said.

As two of the universe's strongest who had personally experienced that place, they had almost exhausted all of their life-saving methods before finally escaping.

Otherwise, even the two of them would likely be buried there, becoming one of the many treasures.

If it was so dangerous for them, then for universe master-level beings, it would basically be a 10-to-1 chance of survival.

"Not only that, but we encountered insurmountable dangers at the first checkpoint. According to what was said above… it's estimated that there are at least four or five more trials ahead."

A trace of lingering fear appeared on Minglan's incomparably handsome face.

Back then, they were attracted by the treasures of that secret realm and were too reckless in venturing into it.

However.

The number of treasures there was truly large, even surpassing Inclined Peak Realm, one of the three great forbidden lands.

After all, it was an undeveloped secret realm, so it was normal for there to be so many treasures.

"Hiss~" Hearing this, Lin Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, a thoughtful expression on his face.

A secret realm that could suppress the universe's strongest to the universe master level was something he had never heard of before, and he didn't know what dangers could exist within it.

However, according to what these two true gods said, he could guess that that secret realm was likely a place of inheritance.

It seemed to be a place left behind by a super powerhouse who roamed the universe sea to select his disciples.

However, these were just Lin Ye's personal guesses.

The specifics would only be known after entering that secret realm.

"Since that's the case, then there's no time to lose."

Mountain Seater suddenly stood up and said, "Let's set off now. It just so happens that it will take millions of years on the road, and we can have a good chat then."

"Agreed!" Lin Ye nodded and replied with a smile.

"Alright!" x3.

The other three powerhouses also echoed, obviously agreeing with this matter.

…

In the universe sea filled with chaotic mist.

A uniquely shaped pinnacle treasure-class spaceship traveled at a leisurely pace, almost ignoring the wormholes.

Lin Ye, Mountain Seater, the Starry Sky Behemoth Ancestor, and two universe true gods were all inside.

Five top-tier universe's strongest combat power!

Not to mention in the original universe, even in the universe sea, they were considered an extremely powerful force.

"Hahaha, there's still a long time to go before we reach that secret realm. We can drink and make merry to our heart's content."

"Let's talk and chat as we go, no rush."

Mountain Seater split off a small divine power clone to pilot the treasure spaceship, while his main body drank heartily with the other four.

For these universe's strongest who had existed for an incredibly long time, they still had an incredibly long future ahead of them.

A mere few million years was like a fleeting moment.

In the universe sea shrouded in endless darkness and chaotic mist, Mountain Seater controlled the treasure spaceship, having long since left the Inclined Peak Realm.

He had even left the familiar area of the original universe.

Darkness was boundless…

There were no stars, no light, nothing at all.

Only the eternal darkness, the purest darkness, causing ordinary universe masters to feel despair in the endless darkness.

However, there were also some external objects in the darkness.

They drifted with the flow, following the gray chaotic mist, floating to every place.

This also led to the powerhouses who entered the universe sea occasionally encountering treasures or strange objects drifting from who knows where.

"Everyone, prepare yourselves. We are about to reach our destination."

Mountain Seater reminded with a smile in front of the long table.

After nearly three million two hundred and fifty thousand years and three months of sailing and drifting, they finally arrived at the area where the tomb was located.

"Let's go, let's go out and take a look," the white-bearded old man, the Starry Sky Behemoth Ancestor, suggested, looking very interested.

"Let's go!" Lin Ye glanced at the two true god-level powerhouses and nodded as well.

"Mm!" x2.

Whoosh~

With the disappearance of the treasure spaceship, the five people appeared out of thin air in the endless darkness of the universe sea.

"It's so dark! Why is the chaotic mist so dense here!!"

Lin Ye looked at the surging chaotic mist all around him. If his strength weren't extremely strong, he would have already been annihilated here.

Any top-tier universe overlord, even if wearing treasure-class armor, still wouldn't be able to withstand it for long.

Fortunately, the few people present were either universe's strongest or Lin Ye, who could compare to the universe's strongest.

Therefore, resisting it was naturally somewhat easier.

"Senior Mountain Seater, how far is this from our original universe!?" Lin Ye couldn't help but ask. He could roughly feel that the distance between himself and the original universe had reached an indescribable point.

"This is already considered the deeper part of the universe sea. Without a pinnacle treasure-class spaceship, it would probably take hundreds of millions of years or even longer just to find the way back," Mountain Seater said.

Lin Ye and the two true god-level powerhouses, Yanlong and Minglan, exchanged glances.

It was a bit far!

"Please lead the way, seniors," Lin Ye said with a smile.

"That secret realm is not far ahead. I'll lead the way." The Yanlong True God emitted a strange fluctuation, directly enveloping all four people within it.

Then, he wrapped around a person and flew directly over.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!

The Yanlong True God's speed was extremely fast. This kind of true god-level powerhouse was countless times stronger than those universe master-level existences.

If they were to fight, they would probably be able to inflict heavy damage on the opponent very quickly, perhaps even defeating the universe master before they could react.

A distance of who knows how many light-years was quickly flown over.

"Do you see it? The secret realm is over there." The Minglan True God pointed to the position on the left front. "That is where our destination is located—'Scorching Sun Divine Palace'."

Lin Ye looked ahead. In the darkness, there was an object so large that it was difficult to describe, emitting an extremely intense red light.

Under the illumination of this light, the chaotic mist for who knows how many light-years around was directly penetrated, forming a very spectacular scene.

Even from such a distance, Lin Ye and the others could clearly feel the heat it emitted.

A vortex-like object, like a huge sun, appeared out of nowhere before everyone's eyes.

Moreover, this sun seemed to be just a layer of wrapping. In its center, there was a magnificent and vast palace looming.

If the strength and vision of the people present weren't so terrifying, they certainly wouldn't be able to see it very clearly.

The extremely deep, dark red palace, like floating in the water, rose and fell, but emitted a majestic and awe-inspiring aura that made people want to worship it.

"How is it!? Are you a little scared!?" The Minglan True God said, "Actually, this is just the surface. The truly terrifying things are yet to come!"

"Oh!?" Lin Ye raised his eyebrows slightly and looked towards the Starry Sky Behemoth Ancestor and Mountain Seater. "Is this 'Scorching Sun Palace' more dangerous and terrifying than the Star Tower!?"

"…"

Upon hearing this, the Starry Sky Behemoth Ancestor revealed a thoughtful expression.

"That's not the case. The feeling this Scorching Sun Palace gives me is far less than that of the Star Tower," Mountain Seater took over the conversation and replied directly.

"Oh! I understand. As long as it's not as dangerous as the Star Tower, then it should be alright!" Lin Ye nodded, looking enlightened.

"However, we must not underestimate it. Since it's a secret realm that exists in the universe sea, then it must have drifted from some place we can't understand. Its background may not be as good as the Star Tower's, but its level of danger is very likely to surpass it."

Mountain Seater took a deep look at Lin Ye and said earnestly.

"Always maintain a sense of awe and caution, and this will allow us to walk a longer and more stable path. Avoid carelessness."

At this time, the Starry Sky Behemoth Ancestor also followed up and said.

"This junior understands. No matter what kind of situation we encounter, we should maintain an attitude of awe and caution," Lin Ye looked very receptive to the teaching.

"A promising child, indeed!" The Starry Sky Behemoth progenitor glanced at the Sitting Mountain Guest, nodding with satisfaction.

"Let's go. Whether it's a dangerous place or a treasure trove, we'll find out once we go inside and take a look."

The latter surveyed their surroundings before making a final decision.

"Let's go!" x4

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

And just like that, five figures, side-by-side, flew towards the scorching sun.
