Swallowed Star: Copy God

In an instant, Ye Lin conjured dozens of afterimages. The first remained in place, while the furthest had already plunged into the enemy ranks. It had to be said that Ye Lin was truly bold and skilled. Despite facing so many enemies, she still charged into their midst, displaying both courage and strong self-confidence.

Entering battle mode, Ye Yun completely forgot the other thoughts in his mind, with only the enemies before him remaining in his sight. He no longer held back. The Cold Light Nine Section Spear behind him trembled, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into nine lifelike, blue-silver swordfish. Under Ye Yun's control, they deftly bypassed the scarred giant and his companions in front, plunging into the dense crowd behind.

Although they had never fought together before, nor discussed tactics, Ye Yun and Ye Lin made almost the same choice at the instant they attacked: temporarily ignore the scarred giant and the other Universe-level tough nuts, first clear out the small fries, and then focus on dealing with the Universe-level opponents. The silent choice was full of tacit understanding.

The scarred giant and the other eight Universe-level experts saw through Ye Yun and Ye Lin's plan and naturally wouldn't easily let Ye Yun succeed. Their bodies erupted with Origin Power, releasing different types of attributes. Four of them moved to intercept Ye Lin, while the remaining four charged straight towards Ye Yun.

Seeing the scarred giant and the others' actions, Ye Yun wasn't surprised at all. The opponents possessed the powerful combat strength of Universe-level experts, so their tactics would naturally aim to maximize this advantage. Relying on the enormous gap between Universe-level and Stellar-level, the scarred giant and the others undoubtedly had the confidence to quickly defeat Ye Yun and Ye Lin.

Ye Yun gently shook his head, unable to help but sigh at the vast differences that could exist between experts of the same rank in the universe. If the scarred giant and the others had a little more insight, they would have realized, after seeing Ye Lin's spatial law attainments, that Ye Lin alone was not someone they could easily deal with. Where did they get such overflowing confidence?

After the scarred giant and the others attacked, Ye Yun could feel that none of these eight Universe-level experts had mastered the domain of their respective Origin Laws, let alone crossed the threshold of Origin Laws. Moreover, their ranks were only at the first or second level of the Universe realm. Clearly, this was almost their limit. Due to limitations in talent and resources, it was entirely possible that they would never make any further progress in their lives.

This was actually the norm in the universe. Geniuses like Ye Yun and Ye Lin, who could step into the threshold of Laws at the Stellar level, were one in a billion, belonging to special circumstances and completely unable to serve as the standard in the universe.

Of course, Universe-level experts were, after all, Universe-level experts. The strength of their own genetic Origin Energy was still much greater than that of Ye Yun and Ye Lin. This was a difference in the level of life, and it was precisely because of this that the scarred giant and the others had the qualifications to fight against Ye Yun and Ye Lin. At the same rank, they could only be instantly killed, without any suspense.

Watching the four Universe-level experts about to rush in front of him, Ye Yun manipulated his flying psychic weapon, following a strange and unpredictable path, flashing and dodging in the starry sky. No matter how the opponents burst forth with increased speed, they still couldn't touch the corner of Ye Yun's clothes. While constantly dodging, the nine illusory swordfish controlled by Ye Yun were like entering an uninhabited land, ruthlessly slaughtering the crowd behind. In just a moment, blue-silver light flashed continuously, and dozens of Stellar-level space pirate bandits were pierced through the chest and killed on the spot, their corpses lying in the cold starry sky.

This scene made the scarred giant and the others, who were chasing Ye Yun, glare with fury. The men they had accumulated in the Fu Peng Star Region for so many years were now being slaughtered like pigs and dogs, yet they were unable to stop it. This feeling of helplessness made them even more enraged. The genetic Origin Energy surging throughout their bodies became more intense, and their speed suddenly increased, but to their despair, they still couldn't touch Ye Yun even once, and could only watch their subordinates constantly being lost.

The scarred giant took a moment to glance in another direction and was immediately hit again. Ye Lin held two daggers in reverse grip. Each attack left dozens of afterimages in the starry sky. By the time they managed to chase to the location of the afterimage, Ye Lin had long left and was rushing in an unpredictable direction.

During the process of her assault, Ye Lin quietly appeared beside those Stellar-level space pirate bandits without any warning signs. The daggers in her hand gently slashed across their necks, bringing up large heads one by one. After only a little time, upon closer inspection, the number of losses in the battle group dealing with Ye Lin on the other side was almost the same as theirs. The large group of more than two hundred people had been reduced to less than half in the blink of an eye!

After a while, Ye Yun and Ye Lin retreated at the same time. The nine illusory swordfish also returned to Ye Yun's side. In this short period of time, the two of them had killed all the space pirate bandits except for the scarred giant and the other eight, leaving no one alive.

The scarred giant and the others also regrouped, but their state of mind and expression were completely different from before the battle. Everyone suppressed their rage, while their eyes flashed with incomparable fear and solemnity. No matter how poor their vision was, judging from Ye Yun and Ye Lin's performance, they were definitely not ordinary people.

Ye Lin lightly returned to Ye Yun's side. She looked at the nine illusory swordfish floating around Ye Yun, and her judgment of Ye Yun's strength rose to another level. Ye Lin obviously recognized the Cold Light Nine Section Spear that Ye Yun was using. From this glimpse, she could roughly judge Ye Yun's attainments in the Law of Water and the Law of Space. Being able to achieve this at the Stellar level was definitely not a simple thing.

"Cloud Immortal, the small fries have been dealt with. What do you plan to do with them? The level of intensity of the Universe-level is too high. It is difficult for our attacks to cause effective damage to them. If we don't solve these leaders, then my troubles won't be so easy to get rid of."

After receiving Ye Lin's message, Ye Yun did not reply. He reached out and signaled Ye Lin to stand aside, then took two steps forward himself, posing as if he would face the eight Universe-level experts alone.

Killing the hundreds of Stellar-level space pirate bandits just now had only warmed Ye Yun up slightly. At this time, his blood was completely boiling. Facing eight Universe-level experts alone was Ye Yun's oppression and challenge to himself.

Ye Lin played with the dagger in her hand and stayed quietly in place. She did not intend to stop Ye Yun. Although in her heart, she didn't think Ye Yun could defeat the scarred giant and the others, the large difference in level was not so easy to overcome. But Ye Lin wasn't too worried about Ye Yun's safety. Judging from Ye Yun's performance just now, even if he couldn't retreat unscathed, ensuring that his life wasn't in danger wouldn't be a problem.

The scarred giant and the others also noticed Ye Yun's actions and were equally astonished by Ye Yun's decision. However, their hatred for Ye Yun had already reached its peak, and they couldn't wait to tear Ye Yun to pieces. Therefore, they did not give Ye Yun much time to prepare. The eight of them surged with their full momentum and fighting spirit, launching an attack on Ye Yun from all directions.

Although Ye Yun possessed specialized spiritual power weapons designed for flight, he couldn't match the instantaneous burst speed of these Universe-level pure martial artists. Previously, he relied on his long-honed flying skills to weave through the crowd. Now that the number of Universe-level experts targeting him had doubled, the pressure on Ye Yun had increased significantly.

However, to everyone's surprise, Ye Yun stood his ground, not moving an inch. His powerful spiritual energy erupted, focusing on the nine Illusion Swordfish floating around him. He murmured inwardly,

"Spirit Swordfish, Condense!"

In an instant, the nine identical Illusion Swordfish collided violently. Blue-silver light burst forth. The next moment, the light faded, leaving behind a single, more solid Swordfish. It was still a brilliant blue, adorned with specks of silver, highlighting its enhanced spirituality.

The second form of the Nine-Section Cold Light Spear – Spirit Swordfish – was a more powerful manipulation technique built upon the foundation of the first form, Illusion Swordfish. It demanded not only more precise spiritual energy control and amplification but also a deeper understanding of the Laws of Water and Space. Given these challenging prerequisites, it signified the immense power of the Nine-Section Cold Light Spear's second form. It was precisely because of such a technique that Ye Yun had the qualifications to challenge Universe-level experts.

The difference in levels between Ye Yun and Universe-level experts forced him to find solutions elsewhere. The most effective path was to harness the power of the Laws he controlled. The Nine-Section Cold Light Spear was the means to transform his comprehension of the Laws into direct offensive power.

Compared to the first form, Illusion Swordfish, the second form, Spirit Swordfish, was undoubtedly more agile. Its size wasn't significantly different, only slightly longer, but it possessed a completely solid feel. Moreover, the Spirit Swordfish wasn't just a simple combination; it involved the linking and connecting of the Laws of Water and Space, making its complexity incomparable.

The scarred giant and the others didn't recognize Ye Yun's Nine-Section Cold Light Spear. Similarly, they weren't aware of the difference between the first form, Illusion Swordfish, and the second form, Spirit Swordfish. However, this didn't prevent them from sensing the immense power contained within the newly formed blue-silver Swordfish. Their gazes towards Ye Yun immediately changed.

Previously, although Ye Yun and Ye Lin had slaughtered their subordinates right under their noses, it hadn't made them feel a concrete threat. As Universe-level experts, they still had that confidence. No matter how astonishing Ye Yun and Ye Lin were, they were still just two Star-level cultivators in their eyes.

But now, the scarred giant and the others felt a real threat from the Spirit Swordfish that Ye Yun had unleashed. This feeling was intense, capable of threatening their lives. Instantly, their expressions turned grave, and their charging pace faltered. They all became hesitant, unwilling to be the first to test the power of Ye Yun's Spirit Swordfish.

This was the disadvantage of a loosely united force. They temporarily banded together for the same interests, but once they encountered a problem, they would revert to a scattered mess, unable to effectively cooperate.

Ye Yun didn't care about the reactions of the scarred giant and the others. Once the Spirit Swordfish was formed, he immediately controlled it to swiftly attack the nearest Universe-level expert.

The silver spatial runes on the Spirit Swordfish flickered, combined with Ye Yun's full-force spiritual energy control, making the Spirit Swordfish's speed reach its limit. In an instant, it arrived before the Universe-level expert.

This person wore a set of crimson third-tier Origin Power armor and wielded a half-man-tall scarlet saber. After a brief assessment, he realized he couldn't dodge the Spirit Swordfish's attack. He roared and the saber in his right hand radiated a faint firelight. He simultaneously activated a treasured secret technique he had practiced for a long time. At the critical moment, he fiercely slashed at the Spirit Swordfish's body.

However, this strike, almost a full-force attack, felt as if it had struck empty air, without feeling any force. This completely exceeded the expectations of the crimson-armored expert. His intention was to deflect the Spirit Swordfish, not to collide head-on with its power.

The third-tier Origin Power armor was instantly pierced, and the impact force was greatly reduced, but it still pierced into the crimson-armored expert's chest. After being struck, the crimson-armored expert was severely injured. He dropped the saber in his hand and desperately pressed his hands on the Spirit Swordfish's body, but the Spirit Swordfish itself contained the power of the Laws of Water and Space. Under Ye Yun's continuous control, it erupted, stirring all the way down from his chest. In just a few breaths, the crimson-armored expert's vitality was completely extinguished. With unwilling eyes, he fell into the starry sky.

Just now, a powerful expert radiating Universe-level power had died under Ye Yun's first strike with the Spirit Swordfish in the blink of an eye. The scene was silent for a moment, and the scarred giant and the others couldn't recover from the shock for a long time. They all understood the strength of the crimson-armored expert very well, and they were basically at the same level. Even they couldn't defeat the crimson-armored expert so easily, let alone kill him in an instant.

For a time, the way the scarred giant and the others looked at Ye Yun changed again, taking on a strong fear. They even had the idea of running away. Seeing Ye Yun kill the crimson-armored expert with ease, each of them extinguished their desire to fight and just wanted to escape quickly. No one wanted to become a ghost under Ye Yun's Spirit Swordfish.

Today is one long chapter. After this volume ends, we will enter the Genius Battle plot. I need to organize it well.

These days, I have also seen comments from many readers. Many people say that I have a good attitude. Alas, I will also feel uncomfortable because of some comments. Although many are my own problems, I am still sad because of my shortcomings and the disappointment of my readers! Maybe this is the reason why many authors give up!

I've been a little down these past two days, but the purpose of sending this paragraph is to explain that I will not give up. No matter what the situation, I will continue to write. I hope I can absorb the suggestions of all my brothers and write better and better. I will work hard!

Finally, thank you again to the brothers who have been reading!
