Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 597

There's no need for even putting yourself in someone else's shoes; Rat Nine would never be so kind.

Moreover, the two of them had too little time to react. For a moment, they were both caught up in Rat Nine's dying actions, unable to move forward or backward.

"Sure enough, when you encounter such a being, you absolutely cannot hesitate for even the slightest bit. Any hesitation will lead you into a trap."

Lu Yunhe thought to himself.

The two were locked in a stalemate while simultaneously worrying about the secret technique scroll, which was truly nerve-wracking.

If you manage to snatch it at a huge cost, only to find it's fake, or even worse, ridiculed by the "Rat Nine" (a derogatory term for a character from a popular Chinese novel), that would be hilarious.

Lu Yunhe's side is doing alright. Although this place isn't exactly his home turf, there are other God-Kings present, so they can stall for a while longer.

On the other side, the Beast Source felt an even stronger urge to destroy, wishing it could capture Rat Nine again and destroy him once more.

At this moment, the mindset of the Beast Origin has begun to exhibit a zero-sum game mentality: "If I can't have it, I absolutely can't let you have it either."

From their respective perspectives, it is absolutely unacceptable for them to aid the enemy.

Most importantly, both of them have other paths to take and don't need to be fixated on the "Great Boundary-Breaking Teleportation Technique".

Once you have extra options, your mindset can change very quickly.

"Eternal God-King!"

"World beast!"

Lu Yunhe, wielding a divine spear and a lightsaber, directly blocked the center and edge of the world-destroying millstone. He leaned forward slightly to face the Beast Source, whose curved horn-like markings were clearly visible.

Upon closer contact, both of them noticed the change in each other's mindset. Being teased by Rat Nine before his death had indeed made them extremely irritated.

Meanwhile, Lu Yunhe seemed to want to stall for time and drag more people into the mess, while the Beast Source did not want to stall for time and wanted to end the battle quickly.

As a result, the attacks of the Beast Source became increasingly disregard for the secret scrolls above; if not careful, this thin piece of paper could be torn apart.

squeak...

As the weapons clashed, the World-Destroying Millstone in the Beast Source's hand slowly turned, and suddenly, the divine spear and lightsaber in Lu Yunhe's hand seemed to be thrown into a shredder, making a creaking sound.

Looking at the weapon in his hand, Lu Yunhe couldn't help but frown. The weapon was far inferior, forcing him to expend more divine power to contend with it.

After this secret realm ends, he also needs to properly forge his own weapon. The two supreme treasures he currently possesses are far from worthy of his strength.

"break!"

Lu Yunhe's heart stirred, and the Eternal Sky Boat on his arm instantly erupted, combined with the "Eternal Domain", directly shaking off the Beast Source on the other side.

Forced back, the Beast Source swayed slightly, and in an instant, nine clones flew out from its body.

Formless and shapeless, combined with genetic clones, each of the World Beasts possessed the exact same aura and wielded the Great Millstone of Annihilation, making it almost impossible to detect any flaws.

"fall…"

Seeing this, Lu Yunhe gently pressed down with his hand, and the power of the "Eternal Domain" directly affected all the clones, immediately revealing their weaknesses to the weaker clones.

A treasure of the realm, specifically designed to counter clones, especially those clones that reduce your strength.

"go with!"

The Beast Source controlled its clone to try to interfere with the Eternal God King, but the latter ignored it and went straight for the secret technique scroll above, directly thwarting the former's interference.

Both sides used various methods in their back-and-forth exchanges, but neither was able to achieve their goal.

The secret scroll above was like a hook, constantly suspending the two of them, making them float in mid-air, as if mercilessly mocking them.

"Damn Rat Nine..."

As time passed, the Beast Source could no longer bear it and was unwilling to continue the stalemate.

boom!

Disregarding the Beast Source, the vast destructive power merged with the World-Destroying Millstone, seemingly dragging the entire world into apocalypse, and directly blasted towards the secret scroll above.

"Humph!"

Do you think you're the only one who would dare to do that?

Faced with the eruption of the Beast Source, Lu Yunhe snorted coldly. The power of the "Eternal Domain" was fully condensed and released along with the divine power within his body, directly colliding with the attack of the Beast Source.

Boom! ! !

A huge firework rose into the sky above the divine city, strikingly bright. The secret scroll, emitting a faint glow, was also swallowed by the attack and then blasted away from the edge, with streaks of charred blackness climbing up the scroll.

call out!call out!

Along with the scroll, two figures burst out of the explosion.

Looking at the scroll so close at hand, the two figures simultaneously reached out and grasped it.

Tear!

Once you hold it, you won't let go. With a clear sound, the secret scroll splits in two from the middle.

Chapter 575 Agreement

An unknown origin world!

A figure as vast as the universe sits in a completely independent space-time.

Its body resembles that of a rat on Earth, and it is currently in seclusion. Its body emits invisible fluctuations that collide and merge with the supreme rules around it.

If a divine soul were here, it would be discovered that even the power of the supreme rules seems to have some effect on him.

Moreover, even a fundamental element of the supreme rules seemed to be under the figure's control.

Unlike the Origin Continent, some life forms in the Origin World, after comprehending the Origin Dao to a certain extent, can attempt to grasp the Origin corresponding to this Origin Dao within the Origin World.

While it may be called mastery, it doesn't really mean much, nor can it prevent others from comprehending this fundamental path. In fact, people who cultivate the same fundamental path can compete for it.

However, if one could control more than half of the Origin Dao's Origin, one could control the entire Origin World, though that would be somewhat unrealistic.

As for the Origin Continent, the Primal Universe will tell the God-King that he shouldn't even think about such unrealistic things.

Just then, the sleeping giant rat's divine body trembled slightly, as if it had received some information.

"Rat Nine is dead! Great 'Yuan', Great Boundary-Breaking Teleportation Technique!"

The giant rat received the messages one after another. The various source worlds were too far apart, and there was also the barrier of the Chaos Origin Space. It was difficult for the clone ability to achieve real-time communication.

Not to mention, some peculiar secret realms within the source world can even directly sever the connection between the clone and the original body, causing the clone to develop self-awareness and leading to a split in consciousness.

The Hunyuan space is so vast that it contains all sorts of wonders.

"It's actually the Origin World where the great 'Primordial' left its mark!"

The giant rat opened its eyes, showing great interest in the source world from its memories, but hesitated to act.

Clearly, the guy who comprehended the Dao of Destruction must have received the attention of a supreme being, which is why he was bestowed with such a precious treasure.

Even if the supreme being doesn't care and it's just a casual action, a giant rat that's only at the ultimate level wouldn't be willing to gamble.

Most importantly, what the Beast Origin and Lu Yunhe have shown is not enough to make him fight for it at all costs. There is absolutely no need to upset a supreme being for such a small thing.

If it were the "Primordial Chaos Realm" in Lu Yunhe's possession, it would be quite tempting.

Not to mention traveling to other source worlds, which is also quite dangerous for beings in the ultimate realm. If they are not careful, they may perish. The giant rat is not very willing to take this risk.

Then the giant rat saw Rat Nine's final plan, and the whiskers on its mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"I wonder if these two will have the chance to attain the ultimate Dao. If they do, perhaps they will meet again."

The "Great Boundary-Breaking Teleportation Technique" left behind by Rat Nine is indeed real, but it wasn't completely preserved.

However, some true information has been left out; whether you can fill in the gaps is up to you.

Although Lu Yunhe and the Beast Origin joined forces to kill one of his clones, as beings at the Ultimate Realm, they wouldn't bother with the affairs of a child.

Leave a trace of fate, so that if you meet again in the future, the other person will remember your kindness.

After all, the clone Rat Nine didn't do anything, and even left behind a precious legacy. As long as one's mindset is normal, there's no need to harbor hatred, and the other party might even owe him something.

Leaving behind a portion of the "Great Boundary-Breaking Teleportation Technique" is a favor, but leaving the entire technique would be too much of a slap on the wrist for someone at the Ultimate Realm.

Well, another insignificant reason why the giant rat did this is that there might still be the gaze of a supreme being in that special space.

As for the existence of the treasure, there is no need to keep an eye on it. A quick glance is enough to know the cause and effect and what happened.

Leaving a good impression of the existence of a treasure is more valuable than any secret treasure.

Although the giant rat had been to many source worlds, it had never made contact with a supreme being, not even through a distance.

Although it doesn't know if its actions are being noticed, it doesn't stop the giant rat from putting on a great show, which might just move those above.

As for hatred, if those two cannot attain the ultimate Dao, the Origin World will help them take revenge, and the hatred will not be able to be retained at all.

"When will I be able to control the supreme origin of the rules?"

The giant rat quickly forgot about what happened to Rat Nine; it was just a prelude, and the key was still to rely on himself.

As long as one can grasp the essence of the rules of the supreme treasure, one can also be comparable to a supreme being.

When the giant rat first grasped the origin, it still harbored this ambition, but when it sensed the seemingly endless Dao of Origin, its eyes instantly cleared.

Even comprehending all the fundamental principles of Tao, or even just half of them, is not something a cultivator can achieve.

In comparison, other methods that can become the ultimate solution are more likely to succeed.

"Belief!"

……

"It's split in two!"

Holding half of the secret technique scroll in his hand, Lu Yunhe felt a sense of surprise. Sure enough, this thing was not durable and broke in two with the slightest pull.

However, this approach is probably the best outcome for both of them.

After all, the two of them killed Rat Nine together. If there really was some hidden trick left in the scroll, the two of them could withstand it together and share the pressure.

The splitting of the scroll in two stunned both Lu Yunhe and the Beast Origin. They exchanged a glance and, without hesitation, retrieved their half of the scroll while simultaneously launching an attack to destroy the scroll in each other's hands.

Unfortunately, the two were too close, and any slight movement was within the other's reaction range.

boom!
