Age of Calamity in Swallowed Star

Chapter 210: First Battle Against a Universe-Class Ferocious Beast! [Bonus chapter, thank you for your support!]

Time flows like water, quickly and silently.

Within the Qianfeng World, the flow of time remains consistent with the outside world.

Soon, another ten days had passed.

By this time, Lin Ye's group had grown from the previous five hundred to over a thousand people.

A massive force of thousands of Star-level martial artists, led by their leader, spread out in a horizontal serpentine formation.

They advanced towards their destination in an orderly manner.

Along the way, any valuable natural treasures, wondrous landscapes, monster materials... were all collected by Lin Ye, none escaping his grasp.

Because Lin Ye carried the responsibility of Earth's humanity, he naturally needed to gather resources everywhere to exchange for enough wealth to sustain them.

After all, he didn't want to rely on his Venerable Master's gifts for the rest of his life.

On the path to becoming strong, one still needs to rely on oneself most of the time.

Not only was Lin Ye clear about this.

But Babata and Chan'er also often told him not to become dependent, as it would be more beneficial for his growth.

Therefore, along the way, Lin Ye often personally engaged in battle.

In the slaughter of blood and fire, he became increasingly familiar with combat.

With the advantage in numbers and equipment, Lin Ye even had a few head-on confrontations with larger-scale beast hordes.

Afterward, these monsters turned into neatly stacked mountains of materials in his storage space.

While passing by a colorful river, a sense of inexplicable crisis suddenly swept through his body, and Lin Ye trembled slightly.

"What's going on!?" He frowned and muttered in a low voice.

Then, he concentrated and carefully sensed the area before letting out a long sigh of relief.

It turned out that his Thousand Shadow Clone, at the border between the Windkill Plain and the forest, had encountered a Universe-level ferocious beast that had come down the mountain to forage for food.

This was also the first time Lin Ye had encountered a Universe-level monster!

Through the connection with the Thousand Shadow Clone, Lin Ye took in everything that was happening at the scene.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"

The Thousand Shadow Clone's movements were as swift as lightning, its speed far surpassing that of ordinary peak Star-level martial artists, leaving behind trails of bloody afterimages in the dense ancient forest.

"Roar!!"

A sharp tiger's roar came from the depths of the forest, followed by the sound of trees breaking one after another.

Rumble!!

As if countless pile drivers were heavily hammering the ground, the earth trembled violently.

Soon, a colorful giant tiger with a body size of several hundred meters fiercely plowed a path out of the towering ancient trees.

Moreover, this Universe-level fierce tiger had many tails behind it.

One, two, five... seventeen, a full seventeen thick tiger tails!

Its strength was at least Universe level 3!

The Multi-tailed Striped Tiger, as a frequently appearing terrifying monster among Universe-level beasts.

Its habitat spans the entire universe, and it can be said to be ubiquitous.

And their strength ranges from the Planet level to the Domain Lord level.

Even newly born tiger beasts possess terrifying Planet-level strength!

However, their personalities are cunning and unpredictable, and they like to command hordes of beasts in a war of attrition, exhausting their opponents before rushing up to deliver a fatal blow themselves.

Its characteristics are powerful strength, tough tiger skin, and agile movements, while its weaknesses are the weak defense of its tiger eyes and belly...

Information about the Multi-tailed Striped Tiger appeared in the minds of both Lin Ye and the Thousand Shadow Clone simultaneously.

The latter's brain worked quickly, and its gaze wandered over the giant tiger, its eyes flickering as if searching for weaknesses.

"Oh, that's interesting!" Lin Ye's main body sensed the clone's thoughts, and his eyes suddenly lit up with interest.

This clone has some tricks!

Lin Ye could clearly sense that.

His Thousand Shadow Clone, clearly only at the Star level 2, showed no fear or trepidation when facing this Universe level 3 Striped Giant Tiger.

It even dared to directly meet the giant tiger's cold, blood-red eyes, forming a brief standoff.

High fighting spirit, extreme excitement!

These two phrases best described the Thousand Shadow Clone at this moment.

Likewise, Lin Ye was also looking forward to his clone's first duel.

Since he placed the clone in this Domain Lord world.

The latter had faced almost one-sided massacres.

The Star-level ferocious beasts on the plains were easily killed by the Thousand Shadow Clone.

Now, this Universe-level fierce tiger, which spanned a large level, could be used to test the Thousand Shadow Clone's upper limit and peak.

Lin Ye thought so, his heart filled with anticipation.

On the other hand, the tranquility of the confrontation was directly broken by one side!

As if thinking of a way to fight, the Thousand Shadow Clone moved!

A scorching aura that made Lin Ye's expression change slightly suddenly erupted from its body.

This momentum was like a dormant volcano that had been suppressed for a long time, erupting with a bang, sending rolling magma rushing to the sky, and then gathering it all into the clone.

"Nirvana Domain!" Lin Ye was shocked.

He felt that when the Thousand Shadow Clone used this domain, it was even fiercer and more complete than himself.

Almost as soon as the thought arose, the domain was activated, without any delay!

In his mind, the Thousand Shadow Clone, wrapped in the power of the domain, directly charged towards the Universe-level beast.

Its speed was extremely fast, and even if Lin Ye's mental power was highly concentrated, he could only barely capture some afterimages.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

The battle blade danced in the air, creating unimaginable strange arcs.

At this time, the Thousand Shadow Clone seemed to have transformed into a nimble scarlet hummingbird, constantly attacking the beast with extremely fast speed.

At the same time, insights into combat skills and methods were constantly transmitted from the Thousand Shadow Clone.

Force amplitude, dodging skills, tricky attacks, precise defense... every second, these practical experiences would turn into images in Lin Ye's mind.

Then, it would be transformed into his own combat experience.

Gradually, Lin Ye felt that these memories were produced in his muscles.

He could even use the same skills to attack the enemy.

And all of this came from the Thousand Shadow Clone's gift!

It was simply a natural fighting machine!

"So amazing!!"

Thousands of combat insights emerged in his heart, shocking him.

Then, Lin Ye directly ordered everyone to rest and move around on the spot.

As for himself, he sat cross-legged on top of a boulder.

He placed the Blood Flame Divine Weapon on his knees, closed his eyes, and carefully comprehended it.

"Utmost yang, utmost strength, utmost power!"

"Concise, direct, and powerful!"

Lin Ye's body did not move at all, but in his mind, the fleeting images of knife light trajectories and body techniques emerged.

The knife techniques he had honed in the slaughter collided with the clone's knife techniques like sparks colliding with the earth.

Countless sparks splashed in his mind, bringing Lin Ye many insights.

Likewise, it also promoted him to constantly improve his knife techniques and force amplitude.

At the border between the plain and the dense forest, it was a mess.

As if it had been heavily raked by a large iron plow, countless towering ancient trees were crookedly inserted into the soil, and most of them were swept by the aftermath of the battle and broken into several sections.

The terrifying battle, like a destruction king, continued.

One side was the Star level 2 Thousand Shadow Clone, and the other side was the Striped Giant Tiger with Universe-level strength.

Despite this, this beast overlord, which ruled over thousands of miles of territory, encountered a terrifyingly powerful enemy today.

The knife techniques of Thousand Shadow Clone were extremely strange, sometimes like a volcanic eruption, surging and unstoppable,

Sometimes like a cloud dragon grabbing its claws, wonderful to the extreme,

And sometimes like three thousand weak waters, lingering and affectionate...

Without exception, every knife left hideous wounds that were deep enough to see blood on the Striped Giant Tiger's body.

"Roar! Roar!!"

This Universe-level ferocious beast let out an extremely angry and sorrowful cry, possessing strength and speed but being played around by a human as small as an ant.

The wounds on its body also quickly increased.

Even the tough fur that the Tiger King usually prided itself on was easily broken through under the Thousand Shadow Clone's sharp blade, like thin paper.

For this, Lin Ye was shocked beyond belief.

He knew that the Thousand Shadow Clone's origin was extremely extraordinary.

It was very close to the several major universe origin laws, especially the space law.

Therefore, he also often used the characteristics of the Thousand Shadow Clone to comprehend the fire origin law and the space origin law, with excellent results.

If not, his Nirvana Domain would not have been upgraded from the fourth level to the fifth level in just five years.

Especially in this Domain Lord world, which is full of the power of the wind origin, the Thousand Shadow Clone is like a fish in water, completely integrated into this battlefield.

The beast king, who had repeatedly suffered setbacks, kept roaring, trying to deter the hateful human on the other side.

However, every roar was like a clay ox entering the sea, completely useless.

The Thousand Shadow Clone swung the battle blade from bottom to top, the blade touching the tough fur between the Tiger King's neck, scratching out a burst of dazzling sparks, and finally breaking through the defense and penetrating deep into the flesh.

"Whoosh!!"

After the battle blade was pulled out, the wound on the Tiger King's neck spurted out like a high-pressure faucet, forming a blood-colored fountain as thick as an arm.

Another successful strike!

A strange light flashed in the Thousand Shadow Clone's eyes, and its ghostly figure moved with the wind, appearing in another place unexpected by the Tiger King in an instant.

In an instant, shimmering sword lights bloomed out of thin air, like the Milky Way hanging upside down, flowing upstream.

Wrapped in the Thousand Shadow Clone's unstoppable fighting will, one blade after another, constantly standing around the seventeen-tailed Striped Fierce Tiger.

"Clang clang clang!!"

The harsh sound of metal and iron intertwined with the splashing sparks resounded in this desolate wilderness that had been uninhabited for a long time.

All the fierce beasts and fierce birds within a radius of tens of miles were intimidated by the terrifying battle situation.

Most of them were lying on the ground, not even daring to look at the fighting one person and one tiger in the distance.

Visible shockwaves spread out in circles, flattening an even larger group of ancient forests in the surrounding area in the blink of an eye!

The intensity of the battle can be seen.

In the center of the battlefield, the Thousand Shadow Clone became more and more courageous in battle, even suppressing the Universe-level fierce tiger that surpassed it by a large level with exquisite fighting skills and a terrifying fighting will.

Similarly, its attack trajectory was incomparably unpredictable, changing at will.

Claws, anus, abdomen, eyes... everything within sight became the clone's attack target!
