Swallowed Star: Copy God

Phantom Sky King's blade was almost a culmination of all his power, a heaven-shaking strike that fully matched the strength of a peak-level King. As it moved through the starry sky, even space seemed to yield, tearing open an incredibly terrifying gap.

However, facing Phantom Sky King's overwhelmingly powerful first move, the group of Immortals not far away showed no intention of dodging. The three leading Immortal powerhouses simultaneously extended their right hands, and a thick, earth-yellow light rapidly surged forth, transforming into an incredibly solid wall that forcefully blocked the golden blade's advance.

In the instant after the exchange, Phantom Sky King, with his incredibly rich combat experience, had already made his judgment. The three King-level Immortals before him were likely all at the high-level King tier. Relying on a strange formation formed in combination and incredibly tacit cooperation, they were able to contend with him on equal footing.

However, Phantom Sky King's brow furrowed slightly because he sensed an incredibly familiar feeling from the three opponents' moves.

This feeling seemed to have been sealed in his memory, suddenly stirring up recollections and causing Phantom Sky King's eyes to widen slightly.

As the golden light and earth-yellow light dissipated, the black robes enveloping the three leading King-level Immortals were also destroyed in the impact, revealing their true forms hidden within.

The three were all less than 1.5 meters tall, with stout builds and very short hair that stood up straight on their heads. Enveloped in an earth-yellow absolute domain, they gave off an incredibly solid sense of oppression.

Most astonishingly, the three had identical faces; they were actually triplets!

After seeing their true appearances clearly, Ye Yun sensed Phantom Sky King involuntarily emitting a low mental transmission:

'Earth Trio!'

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun also revealed a look of surprise. He had also heard of the Earth Trio's reputation; they were three very famous King-level Immortal powerhouses in the history of the human race.

They came from the Earth Human race, a small race within humanity, possessing an extremely strong talent for the earth origin law. The race was small in number, but its overall strength was not weak.

Among the vast number of King-level Immortals, the Earth Trio were famous because the three brothers all broke through to become Immortals and cultivated to the high-level King tier. This was a rare occurrence in the history of the human race, and it has been passed down as a legend.

Although the Earth Trio were only at the high-level King tier, the three of them together created a secret technique. Relying on their natural telepathic connection, they could completely link together and unleash the power of a peak-level King.

In the era when the Earth Trio rose to prominence, their strength alone was already outstanding, and the three also had the potential to grow, so the race had high hopes for them.

However, during an exploration of a newly discovered universe secret realm, the Earth Trio all went missing. The Virtual Universe Company listed them as missing persons, and there has been no confirmation of their deaths.

After all, the lives of Immortal powerhouses are almost infinite. In their long lives, a secret realm exploration could take tens of millions of years, so unless there is particularly conclusive evidence, one generally would not jump to conclusions; otherwise, it would be bad if a mistake were made.

Of course, because of the existence of the Virtual Universe Network, most missing persons are actually considered dead by the human race; otherwise, there wouldn't be no news for so long.

But today, Ye Yun and Phantom Sky King understood that the former Earth Trio had been soul-controlled by the Zerg at some point, becoming the slave trophies of the Zerg Queen.

The pride of the human race had now become beings who would eliminate the human race's younger generation of geniuses, which was truly full of irony and mockery of fate.

Phantom Sky King was not very familiar with the Earth Trio, but as King-level powerhouses of the Virtual Universe Company, they still knew each other. Seeing the Earth Trio's appearance after losing their original minds, Phantom Sky King couldn't help but feel anger in his heart.

The struggle between humans and the Zerg was not about right or wrong; it was all for the continuation and development of their respective races. But from the standpoint of a human, Phantom Sky King naturally hated and loathed the Zerg, wishing he could wipe out their entire race.

However, no matter how angry Phantom Sky King and Ye Yun were at this moment, the three members of the Earth Trio were expressionless. After being soul-controlled, they were no longer their former selves, and their inner perceptions had undergone fundamental changes. They would only regard their master as their primary object of allegiance.

Phantom Sky King's strike, which had been brewing for a long time, was easily resolved by the Earth Trio working together. Unable to break through the pressure of the formation formed by the dozens of Immortal powerhouses, Phantom Sky King did not hesitate and transmitted a mental message to Ye Yun, saying,

"Junior brother, I will entangle the Earth Trio for a while. Rely on the protection of the Ironwire Grass and try to resist their attacks as much as possible. The Ironwire Grass's divine body is very large and should be able to last for a while. Just hold on for a little longer, and the company will definitely have reinforcements!"

Phantom Sky King's expression was firm, and there was no panic or anxiety in his mind, but there were some things he didn't say. In fact, the moment he saw the Earth Trio, Phantom Sky King felt the Zerg's determination to kill Ye Yun, knowing that this sudden attack would not be easy to overcome.

Phantom Sky King had already made up his mind in his heart. He knew the significance of Ye Yun to the human race. Although he had just become a Domain Lord, his value and significance in many aspects had already surpassed that of a King-level Immortal like him.

When necessary, Phantom Sky King would not hesitate to sacrifice himself to ensure Ye Yun's safety!

Before Ye Yun could respond, he saw the Earth Trio already leading their team to approach their location. The person in the very center opened his mouth and spat out an earth-yellow bead.

This earth-yellow bead was very inconspicuous; even its appearance was very ordinary. It was not a standard sphere, but rather looked more like a chicken egg with two large ends.

In the instant this bead appeared, Ye Yun could clearly feel that the surrounding starry sky seemed to have turned into an incredibly viscous mud pit or swamp. The earth origin law domain surrounding the Earth Trio also bloomed with an even stronger light.

Seeing this scene, Phantom Sky King's expression suddenly changed drastically. He roared madly, and then golden light burst out from all over his body. Phantom Sky King actually burned 1% of his divine body in the first instant!

This made Ye Yun also feel the seriousness of the matter. Burning one's divine body was an Immortal powerhouse's desperate measure!

Don't assume it's just 1% of the Divine Body. Without high-quality recovery resources, relying solely on oneself to recover would take an incredibly long time. Moreover, once the body loses too much, the decline in one's own strength is secondary. More seriously, one might fall into slumber, becoming vulnerable to anyone!

However, despite such a huge cost, the blessing gained from burning the Divine Body is also extremely perverse. It not only greatly enhances all aspects of oneself but can even annihilate the opponent's Divine Body on an equal footing. It is one of the most effective means of dealing with the immortal body of an undying powerhouse.

For the experienced and knowledgeable Phantom Sky King to be so nervous, this suddenly appearing earthy-yellow pearl must have an extraordinary origin!

Ye Yun quickly recalled Phantom Sky King's past experiences and memories, and in the next moment, he recognized it. This earthy-yellow pearl was actually a domain-type treasure!

Originally, in battles between undying powerhouses, their law domains could cancel each other out, rendering them ineffective. However, at this moment, the earth-elemental law domain jointly cast by the Three Earthly Heroes completely suppressed the space around Phantom Sky King and Ye Yun.

The reason it could achieve such an effect was entirely due to the influence of this domain-type treasure, the earthy-yellow pearl. Domain-type treasures can release extremely strong restraining and entangling domains, greatly affecting even undying powerhouses.

Furthermore, this earthy-yellow pearl perfectly matched the earth-elemental law that the Three Earthly Heroes themselves comprehended. With their combined efforts, its power was greatly enhanced, significantly strengthening the law domain of the Three Earthly Heroes.

Phantom Sky King could not have foreseen such a situation. Treasures are not something that ordinary King-level powerhouses can possess. Even the lowest-level treasure would have functions far exceeding the weapons used by undying powerhouses, and only the most top-tier King-level powerhouses can control them.

Moreover, this earthy-yellow pearl was not just an ordinary treasure but a very rare domain-type treasure among them. This further made its value immeasurable.

Phantom Sky King deeply understood the power of domain-type treasures. He burned his Divine Body at the first moment. With the outburst of power, he finally managed to slightly resist the oppression of the treasure's domain, but his movements also became difficult.

Not only was his movement impaired, but the speed of his attacks and defenses was also suppressed by the domain. Previously, he could be evenly matched with the Three Earthly Heroes, but now he was completely unable to block them.

Ye Yun instantly discerned the intentions of the Three Earthly Heroes. With the addition of this earthy-yellow pearl treasure, two of the Three Earthly Heroes could firmly restrain Phantom Sky King, leaving the remaining one free to deal with him.

There were also dozens of undying powerhouses on standby around them. In their detailed plan, even if Ye Yun exceeded expectations and reached the undying level, it would be completely impossible for him to escape from such a siege.

'They're really willing to pay a heavy price.'

Therefore, although he understood the opponent's plan and intentions, Phantom Sky King had no choice but to follow their arrangement. He only hoped that Ye Yun could hold on for a longer time and persevere until the support from the Virtual Universe Company arrived.

Ye Yun looked at the last of the Three Earthly Heroes who was forcing his way over. He did not retreat. Facing such an extremely oppressive scene, Ye Yun's heart was as still as water, and his eyes were cold, yet with a hint of intense fighting spirit.

The Iron Thread Grass battle armor on his body swelled up, wrapping Ye Yun into a hundred-meter-tall giant. The helmet that appeared on his head also enlarged proportionally. At this moment, from a distance, Ye Yun looked like a bald green giant.

A burst of blue light flickered on the helmet, and a cold blue spear appeared in Ye Yun's hand. The spear was a full hundred meters long. The moment it appeared, the pressure coming from all directions seemed to be frozen.

'Little Iron, are you afraid?'

'Master, I'm not afraid!'

Ye Yun smiled slightly. In the next moment, the Divine Body of the Iron Thread Grass also bloomed with green light. This time, the undying-level Iron Thread Grass, Little Iron, actually burned a full 5% of its Divine Body!

The light from the burning of 5% of the Divine Body instantly caused an extremely violent fluctuation, even stealing some of the light from the earthy-yellow pearl. Although Ye Yun was not directly involved, with his mind connected to the Iron Thread Grass, he also felt the immense power emerging from his own green armor.

Ye Yun directed this power brought by the burning of the Divine Body to the hundred-meter-long spear in his hand. Immediately, the cold spear shaft was tinged with a trace of green light, extending all the way to the tip of the spear, adding another layer of sharpness to the already incomparably sharp spear tip.

This series of arrangements, though it sounds slow, was almost instantly completed by Ye Yun. Obviously, he had rehearsed it countless times, turning the operation into instinct. The coordination with the Iron Thread Grass was even more seamless, as if they were one person.

The last of the Three Earthly Heroes also noticed Ye Yun's actions, but his expression did not change in the slightest. A giant hammer in his right hand drove the changes in the surrounding space, condensing the vast earth-elemental law, as if to smash the starry sky, and bombarded towards Ye Yun.

The size of the giant hammer was completely incomparable to Ye Yun's hundred-meter-tall figure, but in terms of momentum, it was completely reversed. The third of the Three Earthly Heroes was a King-level high-ranking undying powerhouse. Even without using secret techniques that exceeded his current realm, the intensity and quality of his Divine Body energy alone could completely crush ordinary undying powerhouses.

Not to mention that his opponent now was only a world master who had not even reached the undying level. The only thing he needed to be wary of was the undying Iron Thread Grass that wrapped around Ye Yun.

'The humans really value Ye Yun. They actually arranged for a life-linked Iron Thread Grass to protect him. Fortunately, Lord King Dryad had already prepared for this, otherwise the previous plan would really have been dodged by him.'

A strange light flashed in the eyes of the third of the Three Earthly Heroes. He pondered in his heart, but did not delay the action in his hand at all. The giant hammer, carrying endless power, slammed heavily into the green giant's body formed by the branches of the Iron Thread Grass.

It was not that Ye Yun didn't want to dodge, but that this move of the third of the Three Earthly Heroes actually triggered a trace of blessing from the earthy-yellow pearl treasure, greatly restricting his actions. Coupled with his huge body, he could only allow the giant hammer to fall on his body.
