Age of Calamity in Swallowed Star

The world is ever-changing, with unpredictable events unfolding.

This planet, untouched by outsiders for countless ages, now welcomes a group of unexpected guests.

Several powerhouses from the cosmic sea are stirring up storms across this continent.

Just as Lin Ye and his group are heading to the three major families to gather information one by one,

deep within this continent, at its very core,

undercurrents surge!

In a region where dark red magma constantly swirls, flows, and bubbles, dividing into countless visible streams, all revolve around several exquisite azure lotus blossoms.

Among them, a lotus of azure, white, and red proudly blooms, swaying gently without wind.

At the center of the gracefully standing lotus platform, several figures sit in meditation.

Within the three lotus flower seats, there are precisely three figures as mighty as demon gods.

If Lin Ye and his companions were here, they would surely recognize these as the Thousand-Petaled 彩 Lotus flowers that appear in the perilous 'Great Inferno Thunder Swamp' of the cosmic sea, treasures of exceptional rarity.

According to the prices in the primal universe, the mere existence of each Thousand-Petaled 彩 Lotus flower is nearly comparable to a common high-grade supreme treasure.

The combined value of dozens or even hundreds of Thousand-Petaled 彩 Lotus flowers is extraordinarily high.

This alone is something that ordinary forces cannot easily possess; even emptying the coffers of a top-tier power might not suffice.

Yet here, even such precious treasures are merely being used as cushions.

These lotus seats are surrounded by intricate divine纹 formations, which emanate an incredibly vast and terrifying power as their light surges.

Furthermore, the entire formation is inlaid with thousands upon thousands of exotic and rare stones, like brilliant pearls scattered across the starry sky, twinkling and shimmering.

They constantly emit eye-catching light, a truly beautiful sight.

These priceless exotic stones, some crystal clear like superior moonlight materials,

others white and warm, exhaling misty vapors like stones from a celestial realm,

some dark and gloomy, emitting a terrifying black glow like soul-binding stones from the Nine Nether Hells,

and still others releasing chilling cold air, capable of freezing the surrounding space-time with ease.

Without exception, each one radiates a terrifying energy that inspires dread.

“嗡嗡嗡～～～”

Waves of energy rapidly sweep across, no less powerful than a full-force strike from a universe master.

From a distance.

A vast number of different kinds of exotic and rare stones are scattered throughout the dark red lava, rising and falling with the floating magma,

as if supporting and resisting something.

It is precisely this formation composed of exotic and rare stones, along with the vast and peculiar runes inscribed within, that completely isolates it from all external probes, with no possibility of exposure.

This kind of isolation formation is silent and imperceptible, even for universe supreme existences like 座山客 and his group, there is no way to detect it.

The reason is simple.

The one who arranged this isolation great formation is a powerhouse who transcends even void true gods—

an eternal true god!

Therefore, it is normal for Lin Ye and 座山客's group to be completely unaware of this place.

Of course, Lin Ye has a way.

But his current strength is only at the universe venerable level, far from being able to manipulate the Thousand Tribulation 浮屠 Pagoda with the ease of using his own limbs.

Otherwise, even the entire炽 Yang 神殿 would be shattered!

The dark red magma flows gently, having existed for countless millennia.

On the surrounding magma walls, numerous beings resembling terracotta soldiers stand quietly.

Dense and numerous, numbering in the dozens or even hundreds.

But these are not the core.

Especially these three figures with dark gold, dark silver, and dark green skin,

the aura they exude is markedly different from that of ordinary cultivators.

At this moment, one of the figures very strangely opens his eyes, his voice deep and沉声道:

“Where did these universe supreme beings come from, daring to provoke the disciples of our three major families at the same time? They simply don't know the immensity of the heavens and earth!”

“Hey, hey, hey, you two wake up, have you ever heard of a universe master powerhouse called ‘黑魔神’?” The dark gold figure spoke, his voice rumbling like thunder.

“Never heard of him!” Having been forcibly awakened by his own brother, the dark silver figure seemed very impatient.

“I haven't heard of this ‘黑魔神’ either, I only know that there used to be some 紫魔神 or something that appeared out of nowhere, and eventually turned into withered bones in this magma炼狱!”

The last burly man with green skin spoke.

His voice was incomparably cold, sounding like two pieces of sandpaper constantly rubbing together, causing involuntary chills down one's spine.

“This guy called ‘黑魔神’ has a somewhat terrifying divine body. Even ordinary true god-level powerhouses may not have such a vast and boundless divine body.”

“This kind of guy, I really don't know where he ran out from, mostly cultivated by powerful external forces…”

The dark gold figure with a majestic and burly physique looked around, his ferocious eyes completely dyed red by the flowing crimson magma, and said word by word: “黑魔神, is very likely a monstrous universe master recorded in the records!”

“A monstrous universe master? Then do we need to use our authority to eliminate him to prevent future troubles,

or… use some means to win him over and accumulate some foundation for our restoration of the 天辰族?”

At this time, the most calculating dark silver figure said without moving.

“You must know that the birth of every monstrous universe master is very important to the entire 天辰族. Even after that great war failed, the 天辰族 only left behind three major families,

as for the other first-class families… if it weren't for our three major families bestowing a tiny bit of bloodline, they would want to be ranked among the first-class families, simply dreaming.”

“Yes, we are all noble descendants of the 天辰族. Even if we have been transformed into our current appearance, it cannot change the 天辰族 bloodline in our bones.”

“So, restoring the 天辰族… we shoulder an unspeakable and enormous responsibility.”

The figure with the dark gold shape said in a low voice, very solemnly, word by word, “Since there is an external monstrous universe master entering this time, then we must find a way to win him over.”

“Win him over!? Have you forgotten the last situation? Those universe supreme beings who didn't know where they came from were superficially cooperating with our win-over, but in reality, they were thinking of other things, which caused us a lot of losses.”

“Didn't we also kill those true gods later? Even if they had their own clones, they were all killed one by one. Lord Wuxin's methods are not something some true gods can resist.”

The green-haired figure said somewhat proudly.

Then, he paused his gaze on the silver and gold figures, and then said: “We can value and win over this monstrous universe master, but there are also four very strong universe supreme beings around him,

this in our 天辰族's peak period, could be easily handled, but now…”

The majestic gold figure: “Times are different now, we must find a way to unite all the energy that can be united to reproduce 天辰 glory.”

“You, me, and him are all guys who experienced that fierce battle and survived in the end, so we know how much we need to pay to restore the glory of the 天辰族,

but these are all things we must pay and experience, because we have already dedicated everything we have. Therefore, let us wish ourselves success!”

The majestic green figure also spoke.

“Since this is the case, then let us start this test and see if this monstrous universe master and his friends can pass our test?”

“What do you think?”

“……”

His words directly aroused the thinking of the other two.

After all, the three of them are not true descendants of the 天辰族.

But guardian puppets handed down from ancient times!

“Okay, although it's a bit hasty, but it's obviously not like this.”

“How to arrange it?”

“Thirty-five king-level puppets, plus five emperor-level puppets, let's test the depths of these guys!”

“I agree too!” The other two directly agreed.

They guard this magma 炼狱, constantly observing everything outside.

It's not just to protect the survival of the three major families and let them develop well.

More importantly.

Still, pay attention to the super powerhouses who come from outside.

By analyzing their talents, classify them into different elite levels, and finally make corresponding tests to see if they can be cultivated by them.

If they can pass the test of these three guardian puppets, then they are qualified to become good friends of their 天辰族.

“Rumble!!”

Along with the surging and manic energy, the entire dark red熔岩 magma seemed to be suppressed by something, and then a pitch-black opening was slowly划拉 opened from it.

Even the entire great formation was divided into two segments, but their effects still exist.

This is the secret weapon of the three guardian puppets!

It turns out that the formation composed of countless exotic and rare stones above this magma pool is not to provide energy for these three.

It can not only provide the ability to isolate signals and probes.

More important.

This strange great formation is still a sealing formation, sealing a batch of things left over from an extremely distant era.

Even with the authority of the three guardian puppets, they don't know what it is.

They are just following the instructions left by the great powerhouses in the past, and when the three major families encounter a very important crisis, they will work together to open it and release some of the things inside.

And in the memory of the guardian puppets, there are a total of nine heavens below, one life and death for each heaven, which is very mysterious and important.

Over endless years, with the accumulation of generations, universe masters and universe supreme beings have also been born on this continent, but the strength of those universe supreme beings is too weak.

Compared to the birth of universe supreme beings, the birth of universe masters is too many, almost every once in a while, there will be some monstrous universe masters who want to challenge the three major families.

Result……

Without exception, they were all killed!

No one can resist the three major families, because they are the undisputed rulers of this continent for endless years.

Even more because they have the existence of these puppets behind them, and even the power to destroy these challengers is just using a tiny bit.

For the most monstrous universe master among them, they only opened the second heaven.

As for… the next seven formations, because they were not needed, they were not opened.

If that day really comes, it will also be opened…

At this moment.

West Cliff Clan, clan land.

In the dark room as dark as ink, there are twelve dark figures sitting cross-legged on the ground covered with runes.

Suddenly, six of the dark figures seemed to receive some kind of感应, and directly opened their eyes.

In their eyes, there was a red light shining.

Incomparably weird.

“What's going on, why wake us up?” Among these six figures, the leader directly spoke, his voice sharp like a blade, but without losing its stability.

“Returning to the several puppet adults, we are following the orders of the three guardian offerings to wake you up. The goal is to deal with a suspected monstrous universe master existence. There are also four universe supreme powerful experts around him, which has exceeded the West Cliff family's ability to bear.” The West Cliff family's patriarch revealed his figure from the darkness, respectfully说道.

“Understood, you can go!”

“Several adults, do you need this subordinate to send their detailed information over?” As the patriarch of a clan, this person is very humble, just like a slave.

The reason is simple.

The weakest of these puppets is much more powerful than him, and can吊打 him, such a universe master, with one hand.

In this world where strength is supreme, he can only accept this fact and yield!

“Brothers, let's go out and play first. If it's fun, we'll call you up again, haha, hahaha…”

The six awakened puppets looked at the remaining brothers and said with a smile.

“Not at all嘻嘻.” Remaining puppets, “You guys hurry up and go. I hope you can be defeated by the opponent, and then you can call us!”

“The cultivation in this secret room is really too boring. My puppet body is about to rot!”

“It's a pity that those few existences only woke you up to go out. Otherwise, I would also go out.”

“……”

The remaining half of the puppets said very disappointedly.

Having a puppet body, they actually have eternal life, but without orders, they can only stay here forever and not go out.

In the past, even if they encountered some monstrous universe masters, there was no situation where everyone was dispatched.

After all, the reason is very simple, that is——

Their strength is too strong.

Basically, with the cooperation of every two puppets, they can suppress a universe supreme being.

Six powerful puppets, that is three universe supreme beings.

In addition to the puppets of the old antiques sent out from the熔岩 ancestral land, this battle situation is actually very clear from the beginning…

At the same moment.

The other two families are doing the same.

The respective patriarchs went to wake up those powerful puppets, and finally formed a puppet battle formation.

Under the leadership of the strong puppets sent by the three guardian puppets, they quietly launched an attack on Lin Ye and his companions.
