Age of Calamity in Swallowed Star

Chapter 222: Azure Ocean God Lord—Crushed in a Single Blow!

Realm Within a Realm, Core Region.

Throughout the rolling mountains, vibrant and lush exotic flowers and plants cover the slopes, alongside uniquely shaped trees.

But these are not the focus.

Lin Ye looked up, his eyes met with fragments of limbs and torsos.

Dark red blood stained the ground, a shocking sight. Shattered weapons and armor lay scattered, a scene of utter desolation.

In this relatively small area alone, there were hundreds upon thousands of corpses, men and women, human and beastman remains alike.

Lin Ye scanned the scene, then retracted his gaze, his expression unchanged.

To seize treasures in this Realm Lord world, one must abandon all notions of compassion.

Otherwise, you will only harm yourself and others!

Everyone is constantly vying for their own interests and advancement.

Fighting against the heavens, and even more so against people!

"There are so many corpses here! It looks like there have been many tragic battles! A lot of treasures must have been plundered."

Babata's surprised voice suddenly echoed in Lin Ye's ears, his translucent little wings fluttering incessantly.

"Humans die for wealth, birds for food! The amount of wealth and universe crystals here is too great, a significant temptation for Star-level cultivators. No one can resist these temptations."

Lin Ye smiled faintly, expressing his thoughts.

Even he could not resist the lure of immense wealth.

"Let's go, towards the more crowded area. Some people have already arrived here ahead of us."

Long ago, in the virtual universe, Lin Ye had received messages from Huang Shaoying and Mo Handerson.

They had arrived in the core region of the Realm Within a Realm long before, and had even fought with several organizations, with mixed results.

Lin Ye wasn't particularly concerned about this.

As long as his people were unharmed, everything else was minor.

"Upon reaching the core area of the Realm Within a Realm, gather at coordinates: ＊＊＊＊, ＊＊＊＊."

He didn't delay, sent out his coordinates, and then instructed the Earth cultivators to gather there.

Lin Ye issued a call, and the response was immediate.

Soon, the first team of Earth cultivators arrived.

To Lin Ye's surprise, the first to arrive was Sokolov.

This former strongest man of Soviet Russia led a large group of battle-worn cultivators, standing before Lin Ye.

"Chairman, Sokolov has not failed in his mission. The harvest in this Realm Lord world has been great!" Having reached Planet-level Tier 4, he looked somewhat fatigued, but his face was filled with excitement.

Awesome!

So awesome!

This first trip to the universe had allowed him to experience unprecedented cruelty and intensity.

This was, after the Earth monster war, another instance that brought him passion and fervor.

"Yes, very good." Lin Ye looked at this Sokolov, who still seemed to be savoring the experience, his face full of praise.

He reached out and gently patted the shoulder of this burly, red-bearded man, very satisfied.

Then, the two began to exchange pleasantries.

Before long, Hong and Thor arrived in two D-grade spaceships, approaching Lin Ye in a boisterous manner.

"Master, Thor and Old Hong are here!!"

The bald Thor leaped out of the cockpit, flying straight towards the young man standing on a mountain peak.

His voice, like a resounding bell, echoed through the sky.

Hong: "…"

Hearing his bald little brother's words, Hong's face revealed a hint of uncertainty.

Then, he followed Thor's example and flew directly out of the cockpit.

Behind them, one Star-level cultivator after another broke through the air, gliding into the sea like fish.

Soon, a group of people gathered beside Lin Ye.

"Hahaha, Chairman, do you know how we've been spending these days?"

Thor winked at Lin Ye, touched his shiny bald head, and said with a grin, "All spent in robbery."

"Hahaha!!"

As he spoke, Thor laughed like an idiot.

He stared at Lin Ye, his face full of triumph: "These days, we fought our way from the outer regions to this Realm Within a Realm, not only did we gain many treasures and weapons, but we also excavated and plundered over five hundred thousand universe crystals."

"Five hundred thousand cubic meters of universe crystals… that's a full five hundred million universe coins, awesome, right!"

After speaking, he glanced at Thor, puffed out his muscular chest, like a proud lion, waiting for Lin Ye's praise.

"Very impressive, securing so much wealth for us, I'll remember this as a great achievement for you."

Lin Ye's face was full of smiles, not stingy with his praise.

At the same time, he was also genuinely happy.

Every achievement made by these Earth cultivators in the universe was inextricably linked to his contribution.

"Actually, I also harvested nearly a million cubic meters of universe crystals!"

Seemingly unable to endure Thor's constant bragging, the silent Hong spoke.

Silent until he speaks, then he stuns everyone!

When he said these words, Thor stood rooted to the spot with his mouth wide open, his face full of disbelief.

He had worked his butt off to collect hundreds of thousands of universe crystals, while Hong…

"Hahaha, not much, not much, just equivalent to a thousand or eight hundred life planets, we still need to guard against arrogance and impatience!" Hong glanced at the dumbfounded Thor, deliberately drawing out his tone.

Beside him, the bald man's gaze became somewhat resentful.

"Alright, alright! Let's stop here."

Lin Ye finally spoke, stopping Thor, this treasure of a man, "Shaoying and Jiayi will be here soon, we can just gather and see if we should continue exploring this Realm Lord world, or go straight back."

"Yes. We know!" Thor and Hong looked at each other, both putting away their previous frivolous expressions, and becoming serious.

"Also, share some of your experiences in this Realm Lord world with me, I want to know."

Lin Ye said lightly, he could feel the transformation that had occurred in Thor, Hong, and Sokolov.

This change was far beyond what could be achieved by cultivating and becoming stronger on Earth.

Even the experiences in the killing space and the decisive battle space could not create such rapid changes in them.

Only a battle of life and death can best temper a cultivator!

"Chairman, let me tell you, there are so many strong beasts in this Realm Lord world, along the way I…"

Thor leaned forward, talking about his experiences and adventures along the way, spraying spittle.

Lin Ye listened with a serious expression.

Gradually, Huang Shaoying, Mo Qingdi, Jia Yi, Yi Siter… more and more Earth cultivators gathered.

The size of the entire team was also constantly growing.

From the initial two thousand people to more than four thousand later.

The time spent was only ten hours.

After the last Earth cultivator reunited, Lin Ye led everyone on a tour of the core area of this Realm Within a Realm.

…

Looking down from the high altitude.

More and more cultivators gathered in this core area.

At the same time, there were loud shouts echoing everywhere—

"Adventurers from afar, this world, originally belonging to the Qianfeng Realm Lord, is enough to make many Domain Lords and even Realm Lords jealous,

But now, you Star-level cultivators, who are not even at the Universe level, have entered, why is this?"

"As far as I know, there are even some Planet-level little guys among you, you are really brave!"

"So now, you can embark on a bright path, that is—"

"Join our Hundred Tiger Tower!!"

Star-level cultivators belonging to the Hundred Tiger Tower stood on a temporary platform, shouting loudly through amplification equipment.

"Otherwise, except for the two holy lands, the four major organizations, and the sixteen great families, all other independent adventurers will not be able to escape."

"Now you have three days to consider, choose to join our Hundred Tiger Tower or other forces, otherwise, you will only be arrested or die."

"Wow!!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.

Countless Star-level cultivators looked at each other, not daring to believe that these threatening words were actually spoken by the cultivators of the Hundred Tiger Tower.

But soon, they were relieved.

The four major organizations have always been the strongest forces under the two holy lands of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

They act domineeringly and arrogantly, with almost no scruples.

The reason is simple.

In this Black Dragon Mountain Empire, they are the only heaven!

At the same time, other voices rang out around.

Like the Hundred Tiger Tower.

Whether it was the Black Cloud Association, Three Axe Mountain, North Dragon City, or the Ice Sea Divine Kingdom and the sixteen great families… almost all the major forces of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire were doing everything possible to build momentum for themselves.

They wanted to win over more adventurers for themselves.

Whether it was coercion, enticement, or other promises, they all wanted to bring this large group of adventurers under their command.

"Chairman, it feels like these people are targeting us!"

Sokolov leaned close to Lin Ye, looking worriedly at the numerous forces in full swing on the plain.

At this moment, Babata also transformed into a little elf, flying to Lin Ye's side, and suggested, "Lord Lin Ye, why don't we also collect more adventurers like them, and slap them in the face!"

Knowing Lin Ye's many trump cards, she naturally would not be afraid of the threats from these forces.

Not to mention all the peak combat power of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire gathering together, even most of the three hundred kings under the command of the Qianwu Country Lord were not opponents of Huo Rong.

Not to mention there was also the enchantress Chan'er, who was also at the King-level.

This lineup could simply run rampant in the Qianwu Universe Country!

But what Babata did not expect was that Lin Ye was so low-key, and was willing to play with these people here like this.

If it were her, she would probably have made the entire Qianwu Universe Country a sensation by now.

"Hahaha, taking the high ground, now the level is different, naturally we can't argue with them." Seeing the doubt on Babata's face, Lin Ye said with a smile.

"Yes, you are the disciple of the Venerable, and these people are all cultivators fighting for their lives in adversity, you can't compare." Babata sighed, her expression very complicated.

"Heh…" Hearing this, Lin Ye just smiled, without responding.

At this moment, scenes from the Great Nirvana battle of the past flashed in his mind.

Once upon a time, he was also a small cultivator licking blood from the edge of a knife, fighting monsters for his life.

And this reversal of fate came from his tireless efforts…

Until he had taken a big circle around the Realm Within a Realm, Lin Ye then planned to leave this place.

The goal had already been achieved, so there was no need to continue staying.

But before leaving, he had one more important thing to do.

"I am not very interested in the inheritance of the Qianfeng Realm Lord, but I can give you some equipment to help you, this princess who is about to become the Black Dragon Mountain Emperor."

"However, don't forget what you once promised me, otherwise, even if you become the Black Dragon Emperor, you will not have a good life."

Through the virtual universe, Lin Ye sent these two sentences to the Ninety-ninth Princess Busselina in the form of an email.

Without waiting for the reply from this princess, Lin Ye led a group of Earth cultivators and his elite subordinates, and left this place full of chaos and strife in full view of everyone.

His purpose for entering the Qianfeng world this time had already been achieved.

As for the subsequent wealth and inheritance, Lin Ye didn't care at all.

After all.

Master Fenchen Venerable gave too much!

Before leaving, Lin Ye left two D-level spaceships, driven by several Black Dragon Mountain elites, flying towards the place agreed upon by Lin Ye and the Ninety-ninth Princess.

Inside the spaceship, some C-level laser guns were also prepared.

This was also some help that Lin Ye left for her future subordinates.

…

At the same time,

Black Flame Star, outside the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance residence.

The 'Azure Ocean God Lord' in a gorgeous sky-blue robe and black hair was silently sitting on the top of a high-rise building, overlooking the huge villa containing the 'Qianfeng World', his eyes seemed to have hurricanes raging, and his whole body exuded a terrible aura.

The death of the two princes, one of whom was his favorite Fourth Prince.

This made the Azure Ocean Emperor, who had always had a bad temper, become even more violent.

In the past half a month, he had transferred millions of strong men from the Azure Ocean Empire, surrounding the space around this Cosmic Alliance so that not even water could leak through.

As long as Lin Ye came out, he could immediately sense it, and directly lead the army to surround him and kill him on the spot!

"This Azure Ocean God Lord is guarding here like this, I don't know if he wants to attack the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance."

"Don't! No matter how silly this immortal god is, he wouldn't dare to offend the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, one of the five giants,

Otherwise, even ten thousand Azure Ocean Empires would not be enough to be destroyed!"

"I really want to know, which person is so brave that they dare to kill the Azure Ocean God Lord's prince, and even kill two at once!"

"I don't know, but since they have this courage, it means that the person who made the move has an extraordinary identity, maybe they don't care about this dog-shit Azure Ocean God Lord at all!"

"…"

In the distance, a group of onlookers whispered, their eyes looking at the Azure Ocean God Lord revealing curiosity and mockery.

"What noisy ants!"

"All of you, die!"

Seemingly sensing the gazes of the crowd and hearing their conversation, the bloodshot eyes of the Azure Ocean God Lord looked towards the crowd of onlookers who were speaking the loudest.

Boom!!

An extremely terrifying power swept over, instantly killing everyone present, turning them into balls of blood mist.

A thick, bloody stench filled the air, emitting a nauseating odor.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!”

Instantly, the remaining onlookers, who had been happily watching the drama unfold, scattered like frightened birds and beasts.

At that moment, they no longer dared to recklessly discuss this immortal god.

Otherwise, those fellow cultivators who had just been turned into blood mist were the best example.

…

Time passed slowly, bit by bit.

And so, Divine Lord Canglan guarded this place day after day.

Until a silver-white spaceship flew out from the villa protected by the Universe Mercenary Alliance.

Only then did the surrounding onlookers realize that something was wrong.

The development of the plot seemed to have deviated somewhat from their imagination.

The silver pyramid spaceship piloted by Lin Ye also immediately attracted Divine Lord Canglan's attention.

“A spaceship of the mechanical race's immortal?”

“That's the murderer who killed my two sons!” His rage exploding, this immortal god actually took action personally.

His target was none other than the silver spaceship.

The speed of an immortal god was incredibly fast.

Amidst the surging storm, he approached the spaceship in an instant.

Despite this, the spaceship did not dodge or evade, as if it had resigned itself to fate after being locked on by the Canglan Emperor.

“Leave it for me!”

As he approached, Divine Lord Canglan attacked with terrifying force!

A terrifying divine power erupted, covering the sky and wanting to imprison the spaceship.

In fact, what he wanted more was to directly shatter it, to quell the deep-seated hatred in his heart!

Faced with this terrifying offensive containing the full force of an immortal god's strike, many onlookers couldn't help but close their eyes, not daring to watch.

Rumble!!

Almost at the same time, a scarlet light suddenly appeared before Divine Lord Canglan.

It was Huo Rong.

The moment he appeared, he merely relied on a light blow, which shattered the Canglan Emperor's massive body in mid-air.

A powerful energy erupted from these shattered divine bodies, and then reassembled in the distance.

At this time, Lin Ye also emerged, his expression calm.

He had heard about this Divine Lord Canglan's wait long ago.

Therefore, he had informed Huo Rong to be ready, just waiting for this moment.

As a result, he really gambled correctly!

Faced with the Canglan Emperor's almost all-out attack, Huo Rong easily defeated him with a casual blow.

The reason was simple.

After all, this King-level puppet's strength was countless times greater than that of this Divine Lord Canglan.

Moreover, the gap between King-level immortals and ordinary immortals cannot be simply calculated in multiples.

It was actually a huge difference like heaven and earth.

Furthermore, Huo Rong was a high-level King with mastery of teleportation, so his strength was naturally very powerful.

Therefore, almost immediately, Divine Lord Canglan was easily defeated by Huo Rong.

This was just a casual blow without any intention to kill, yet it destroyed 80% of his divine body.

If he had used just a little more force, the Canglan Emperor would probably have been on the verge of slumber!

And so, Lin Ye looked remotely at the Canglan Emperor, who was reassembling his immortal body in the distance, and said in a faint voice: "Your two princes wanted to besiege me, but they were killed by me instead. If you want to avenge them, you can certainly charge up here, but I don't mind if you can continue to live!"

Canglan Emperor: “…”

Faced with Lin Ye, he, who had suffered a miserable defeat and lacked strength, flushed red, clenched his teeth tightly, and said nothing.

“If you insist on attacking again, I won’t be lenient.”

“After all, I haven’t tried killing an immortal god, especially the lord of the Canglan Empire. I hope you take care of yourself!”

After speaking, Lin Ye took a deep look at the Canglan Divine Lord who was extremely fearful in the distance, and did not choose to let Huo Rong strike a deadly blow.

“Let’s go, let’s go to Black Dragon Imperial Capital to rest for a few days. There are big plans ahead!”

Saying that, Lin Ye brought Huo Rong into the spaceship and swaggered towards the core of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

…
