Age of Calamity in Swallowed Star

Ancient God Ruins.

A continuous stretch of volcanic terrain, constantly spewing towering flames.

At the heart of the volcanoes lies a magnificent and vast luxurious palace.

Inside the main hall, many powerful individuals are cultivating.

A massive vortex of baleful aura controls the entire volcano, silently permeating and turning this volcanic region into an excellent cultivation ground.

“Lord!!”

“Lord!!”

Two bloodied figures suddenly crashed down from the sky, landing outside the palace, their faces filled with anxiety.

“Hmph!?”

“What is the matter, shouting so loudly!?”

A silver figure shot out from the palace, instantly arriving before the two.

“Rumble!!”

The pressure from the vast power of the world, like the sky collapsing, crashed down.

“Pfft!!”x2

The two Domain Lords, already seriously injured, suffered this terrifying pressure again, directly spitting out mouthfuls of blood.

This youth, clad in silver-white armor and possessing an exceptionally handsome face, scanned his two blood-spewing subordinates with his peach blossom eyes, and coldly said:

“Next time, remember to be gentler. If you disturb my little darlings' rest, don't blame me for being merciless.”

“Yes, yes, yes!!” The two Domain Lords nodded like chickens pecking at rice, their expressions indescribably respectful.

“Now, tell me what happened.”

“Reporting, Lord, Ji Kun, the master of the Demon God Abyss, and that savage crocodile have gone mad, waging war everywhere.”

“In just two and a half weeks, they have swept through three locations, capturing all the lords there!?”

The two knelt on the ground, respectfully recounting the cause of the matter.

“Ji Kun and that old, undying crocodile!?”

Hearing his subordinates' answer, the妖异 youth furrowed his brows, a thoughtful expression on his face.

He knew Ji Kun's strength very well; he had only fused seven Blood Luo Crystals and was no match for him at all.

As for that old crocodile… that ancient beast had long been famous, holding an extremely high position even in the Undying Divine Palace.

Its strength was even more unpredictable. Unless it was the ancient beast Qi Ox under the Blood God or Quewu's Undying Bird… basically, no one else was a match.

“I ask you, where are they now!?”

“No need to ask, we are already here.” Kun Kun's voice was like thunder, echoing across the land.

“They've arrived so quickly!!” The妖异 youth widened his eyes, his face filled with disbelief.

“Hmph!!”

“So what if you're here quickly!? The two of you combined can at most defeat me, wanting me to submit, dream on!!”

The fox-like youth's voice was sharp, his imposing manner full of momentum.

“Oh!?”

A surprised voice rang out.

Before everyone's eyes, a black-haired young man wearing blood-colored armor appeared out of thin air in mid-air.

“Hearing you say that, you're quite brave!?”

Lin Ye looked at this World Lord with a smile, the Illusion Secret Technique quietly activating.

…

Outside the eighteen layers of clouds, in the void, in a side hall of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace responsible for monitoring the entire Blood Luo World.

“Eh!? What's going on?”

“There seems to be some unrest in the Ancient God Ruins. Powerful individuals are being chased out of the fifteenth or sixteenth layer of clouds, but they don't dare to break through the eighteenth layer. How boring!!”

“What's going on with Lin Ye, is he leading the geniuses of the Undying Divine Palace on a path of conquest!?”

“This is too exciting! How about we join one and follow His Highness to expand the territory!!”

“Join my ass, don't forget we are responsible for monitoring the entire Xue Luo Continent and the Ancient God Ruins. If you join, the Palace Master will drag you out.”

“At Lin Ye's speed, he will soon unify the Ancient God Ruins! Just don't encounter those perverts from the Undying Divine Palace, or it won't be fun!”

“……”

The group of World Lords and Undyings responsible for monitoring all shifted their gazes to the Ancient God Ruins.

The other places in the Blood Luo World are obscured by eighteen layers of clouds, making it difficult to see clearly.

However, the scenes unfolding in the Ancient God Ruins, as an ancient battlefield, can be fed back to the void in real-time for the monitors to analyze.

…

Two and a half months later, in a deep abyss in the Ancient God Ruins.

Lin Ye was with a group of powerful subordinates, staying in the deep pit to cultivate and recover, preparing for the next great battle.

In these two months of fighting, he had successfully subdued the genius powerhouses from seven baleful aura locations.

And, by the way, brought their forces under his command, expanding his team.

…

Virtual Universe.

Black Dragon Mountain Island Star Lake Villa, artificial lake lakeside pavilion, a group of people were sitting there drinking tea and chatting.

A tall, black-haired young man was standing around the tea table, pouring tea for Lin Ye and the others.

The white-robed bald youth had a serene smile, looking like a holy master.

Next to Lei Shen, the slightly thin youth, Huang Shaoying, was full of sharpness, with vaguely visible baleful aura surrounding his body, like a drawn sword.

Cold and arrogant.

“Shaoying, it seems you have been cultivating very quickly these years with Heavenly Feather God!”

Ma Qingfeng, wearing a light golden and black Chinese suit, took a sip of the Wuyi Big Red Robe tea brewed by Luo Feng and said with a smile.

“Not at all, I only broke through to the second level of Domain Lord recently. I'm considered to have poor talent under Heavenly Feather Teacher.”

Hearing this, the corners of Huang Shaoying's mouth slightly curved into an arc.

He was obviously a little happy.

“But Brother Hong has been making rapid progress in cultivation recently and is already at the sixth level of Domain Lord.”

“Oh!? That's impressive!?”

“It's only been a hundred years since we last met, and Hong Lao Deng is so powerful!?”

The white-robed bald man came closer, circling around the black-clothed Hong and carefully looking him up and down.

“Not only that, but Brother Hong is also getting along with Ji Qing, the disciple of the Phantom Spirit King. He's been in good spirits recently.”

Huang Shaoying took a sip of the fragrant tea in his cup, saying something shocking.

“Hmm!”

Lightly humming, Lin Ye looked at Hong, his eyes deep.

At this moment, meeting the former's gaze, Hong's eyes suddenly lit up.

Looking at Hong, who was hesitant to speak, Lin Ye smiled faintly: “Lao Hong, you weren't such a shy person before. Could it be that you've been affected by love?”

“……” Hearing this joke, Hong's eyes suddenly dimmed.

After a while.

He raised his head, looked at Lin Ye, and said firmly, word by word: “Hall Master, I want to meet the Phantom Spirit King!”

As soon as these words came out, Huang Shaoying, Ma Qingfeng, Lei Shen, and others were immediately startled.

Only Lin Ye had an expression that said 'as expected', as if he had already foreseen all of this.

“Lao Deng, what are you meeting this King-level Undying for? I heard the Phantom Spirit King is a beautiful female King-level. Don't tell me you're coveting her beauty!?”

Lei Shen, the big bald man, was holding a purple clay cup, looking like he was enjoying the show, and constantly teasing him.

“No! I have no interest in the Phantom Spirit King.” Hearing Lei Shen's ridicule, Hong surprisingly did not refute it.

Instead, he spoke his inner thoughts: “I met a woman I like, Ji Qing, and she is the disciple of the Phantom Spirit King. That's why I want to meet the Phantom Spirit King and talk to her.”

“Oh～”x6.

Especially Lei Shen, whose gaze towards Hong was full of admiration.

For the woman he loves, he dares to face a King-level Undying.

Hong Lao Deng is simply a true hero!

Unconsciously, Lei Shen raised a thumb towards Hong.

However, he was ruthlessly ignored by the latter.

“Some time ago, Heavenly Feather God helped me pass on the message, but I was rejected.”

“So… I want to meet the Phantom Spirit King through you.”

“No problem, arranged.” Hearing Hong's request, Lin Ye just smiled indifferently.

Then, he directly gave a positive answer.

It's just a King-level Undying, easily arran…

Suddenly, Lin Ye's expression froze in place, and the smile on his face also stiffened.

“Phantom Spirit King… Phantom Spirit King, she seems to be my master's old flame?”

Lin Ye repeatedly chewed on this name, and his expression also became a little heavy.

He was a little familiar with this name, just like the previous Medusa Queen, it seemed that his master's relationship was not ordinary.

“No, it's more than just not ordinary, the Phantom Spirit King is an old flame!!”

“This is a bit troublesome…”

Lin Ye sighed, a thoughtful expression on his face.

“Hall Master, your expression doesn't look right. What's wrong!?”

The bald Lei Shen came closer and asked cautiously.

“It's nothing else, it's just that the Phantom Spirit King is an old friend of my master, Burning Dust Venerable, that is, a former ex-girlfriend.”

Lin Ye told the truth, and the surrounding group of Earth powerhouses were all dumbfounded, with an unbelievable look on their faces.

He didn't expect this Universe Venerable to be a playboy.

“But it's okay, I'll talk to my master, he should be able to communicate with the Phantom Spirit King.”

Lin Ye smiled indifferently, and then began to think of ways to communicate with his master.

“Thank you, Hall Master.”

Respectfully, Hong saluted Lin Ye.

“Hmm, you're welcome.” Gently waving his hand, Lin Ye didn't say much.

“Xiao Fengzi, I have something very important to tell you next.”

Without any warning, Lin Ye looked at Luo Feng, his expression a little serious.

“Please tell me, Master!”

Putting down the teapot in his hand, Luo Feng looked at Lin Ye, his face solemn.

“If you want to choose the Blood Luo World for cultivation in the future, remember to be very careful and don't expose yourself.”

“Otherwise…”

Next, Lin Ye carefully explained many details to Luo Feng.

Under the latter's surprised gaze, Lin Ye left the virtual universe network and continued his conquest in the Ancient God Ruins.

…

The long-silent Ancient God Ruins became boiling because of Lin Ye's arrival.

In a baleful aura-filled abyss, the leader of this force was retreating steadily and had retreated back to the most fortified palace.

Inside the wide hall, a black-clothed man looked at the constantly flashing lightning and flames in the high sky, with space faintly shattering.

“Sir, what should we do?”

“Ji Kun and Wutian are attacking like crazy. Our palace will lose its power in at most ten hours.”

Behind him, there were World Lord-level powerhouses.

They had all retreated from other places and gathered under this man like stray dogs.

“Don't worry, I have already asked the Undying Divine Palace for help, calling for a special envoy to sanction this mad Kun Kun!!”

The black-clothed man's expression was calm and composed, and he didn't seem worried.

“Good, good!! With the intervention of the Undying Divine Palace, let's see if they can be so crazy!”

The other powerhouses showed a relieved smile on their faces.

Suddenly—

The black-clothed man's expression changed drastically.

“No! The Undying Divine Palace responded that this is an internal battle and they should not intervene!!”

The man's gaze swept over the surrounding group of World Lords, and despair appeared on their faces.

“There's no way, we can only rely on ourselves.”

“I surrender! Lord Kun Kun, I surrender!!”

Without any warning, one of the World Lord-level powerhouses in the back tore his throat and shouted loudly.

His voice passed through the palace's barrier and reached the outside.

“Surrender and you will not be killed!!” Ji Kun let out a majestic and deep voice.

“I also surrender!!”

“Lord Kun Kun, I surrender!!”

“……”

In the successive voices, most of the powerhouses behind the black-clothed man chose to surrender when they knew what was good for them.

Only a small part of the loyal guards who had followed him for a long time did not betray their master.

“Master, we will fight to the end with you, so what if we die!?” One of the burly men wearing scarlet armor said.

“Good job!”

“You are all my good brothers!!”

“……”

A long-lost smile appeared on the black-clothed man's face, and he was happy for the bravery and loyalty of his subordinates.

But soon, the man's smile froze on his face.

Because inside their hall, a blood-colored figure appeared out of thin air.

Its aura was sharp, like a sky-splitting long knife.

It was Lin Ye!

“Surrender, and you can live!”

“Resist stubbornly, and you will die!!”

His voice was like the whisper of a devil, echoing in everyone's ears.

At the same time, it was mixed with a strong mental illusion, inducing and destroying these people's mental will.

“I surrender! I surrender! I shouldn't have fought against Lord Killing God!”

“I also surrender!!”

“……”

More than a dozen rays of sword light burst out from Lin Ye's body, directly slashing at the few people who dared to draw their swords against him.

“Crack!”

Along with a few crisp cracking sounds, the armor of these early-stage World Lord powerhouses was shattered, and their bodies were covered in blood.

In the blink of an eye, he killed several World Lord-level powerhouses.

Such a record even more deterred the remaining few wavering powerhouses.

Seeing that even the more powerful World Lords were killed, they, who were only Domain Lord-level, naturally lost the courage to resist.

“You, are you going to continue to resist meaninglessly?”

Lin Ye turned around, looked at the leading black-armored man, and said in a plain tone, word by word: “I can give you this opportunity.”

“Defeat me, and you can take your people away.”

“If you are defeated by me, take your people and become my subordinates, just like Ji Kun, Baqi, Wutian…, become my vanguard warriors to expand the territory.”

“State your choice.” Lin Ye's voice suddenly rose.

}

"I choose to fight you and see who is better."

"Good! You have guts!" Lin Ye nodded, very pleased with the black-clothed man's spirit.

But his actions are truly foolish!
