Swallowed Star: Hunyuan Tianlong

Chapter 29: The Secret Realm of Emptiness
In front of the Kongming Secret Realm which is 1 billion kilometers long and wide, a group of mercenaries participating in the Three Star Trial gathered in groups of three or five to build relationships and prepare to form a team to explore this secret realm together.

"Brother, join our team. It's too difficult to complete this assessment alone." A three-eyed human realm master took the initiative to find Yan Yong who was standing alone at the back of the team.

"Thank you for your kindness, brother. However, I am confident that I can pass the assessment alone this time. You can go find someone else." Yan Yong politely refused. No matter what other people's purpose was, at least it was a good intention to invite them to form a team, and it was not rude.

"Brother, we may encounter the 'Kongming Beast King' in this secret realm. That is an immortal-level beast. Only by teaming up together can we fight against this beast." The Three-Eyed Realm Master continued to persuade.

"Really, there's no need. We may not even meet the Kongming Beast King. Even if we do, I have ways to deal with him. Brother, thank you for your kindness." Yan Yong refused again. He now had only one goal, to complete the trial mission quickly and then join the core layer of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena.

"Okay then, brother, just be careful." The Three-Eyed Realm Master didn't want to continue making trouble for himself, and went to find other people to form a team again.

After a while, a towering figure appeared in front of everyone. The aura of the immortal strong man shocked the whole audience, and the originally lively team became quiet in an instant.

"Dear mercenary examinees, this examination is about to begin." The host of the examination, Immortal, looked around the audience and said, "Everyone has received their respective mission objectives. Once you complete the mission, you can come to me to hand in the mission materials and obtain the certification of three-star mercenaries. This trial is limited to 150 years, so I hope you can hurry up."

After saying that, he opened a space-time channel through the virtual universe system and started the secret realm assessment.

"Go ahead." The immortal host waved his hand, signaling that the realm masters participating in the mercenary assessment could go in.

……

After a period of time and space change, Yan Yong came to a stone forest full of strange rocks.

"According to the circulated map of the Kongming Secret Realm, there should be a Kongming beast nest in this stone forest. Let's start from this nest."

Since the stone forest was not large, Yan Yong did not summon a spaceship or the Eight Desolations Tower but instead traveled in his physical body.

Soon they arrived at the Kongming Beast's nest marked on the map.

"Roar."

Above the nest, an extremely large Kongming beast, which was much larger than the other Kongming beasts, roared fiercely at Yan Yong, warning the outsider to leave its territory immediately.

"It's really just a ferocious beast, acting entirely on instinct." Yan Yong swung his halberd, and a flaming dragon roared out, instantly engulfing the nest. The weaker Kongming beasts were instantly turned into corpses under the attack of fire.

With Yan Yong's current level of mastery of the secret technique, it is quite easy for him to control the power of the attack to kill the opponent and preserve the corpse.

"Roar."

The strongest Kongming beast did not die in the sea of ​​fire like the other Kongming beasts, but rushed out of the sea of ​​fire with a roar and killed Yan Yong.

"It seems that we have encountered a Kongming Beast King." Seeing the complete aura of the law of wind spreading from the Kongming Beast, Yan Yong recognized that it was a Kongming Beast King.

"Boom."

The Kongming beast pounced on Yan Yong with overwhelming hatred, claws, fangs, head and tail. Every part of its body turned into a sharp weapon, and the fierce attack seemed to want to tear Yan Yong into pieces to relieve its hatred.

"This is the law of the universe. The fighting between different ethnic groups is so cruel and ruthless." Yan Yong felt the hatred from the other party and realized it.

"As long as my strength continues to grow, I won't suffer the pain you are experiencing today. Strength is the most important thing."

The halberd smashed down mercilessly, instantly turning the entire immortal body of the Kongming Beast King into nothingness.

The entire Kongming beast's nest was overturned, revealing the Kongming stone hidden in the nest.

"This time, we obtained 17 corpses of Void Beasts and 6 Void Stones. The mission progress is pretty good."

"Xiaoye, search the nearby Kongming beast nest. It must be big." Yan Yong ordered the little cat girl lying on his shoulder.

"Master, there are three large Kongming beast nests within 1000 kilometers. All of them are large nests with more than dozens of Kongming beasts. We should be able to find a lot of Kongming stones." The little cat girl quickly marked the target location for Yan Yong.

The Kongming Stone has the effect of helping the Kongming Beast to advance. The more powerful the beast's nest, the more Kongming Stones it will collect. Therefore, finding a large Kongming beast's nest can not only kill a large number of Kongming Beasts, but also greatly increase the chance of obtaining a large number of Kongming Stones.

A distance of 1000 kilometers was not far for the Realm Master. Yan Yong cleared the three Kongming beast nests in just a few minutes and obtained a large amount of Kongming stones and Kongming beast materials. …

"This mission is really not difficult for me. This secret realm doesn't seem to have anything worth exploring in depth. It's not as good as the Yantian Continent. The secret of that strange fluctuation has not been discovered yet."

In less than 3 days, Yan Yong had collected all the materials and was ready to leave Kongming Secret Realm to complete the task.

"Boom."

The earth began to tremble inexplicably, and in the distance, smoke and dust covered the entire sky. A scene like the end of the world suddenly appeared.

Even with Yan Yong's eyesight, he couldn't see through the entire smoke and dust. The earth began to become dark, and no light could break through the smoke and dust to reach the earth.

"Run, the Kongming beasts are rioting. It seems like someone has slaughtered too many Kongming beasts, causing the largest Kongming beast nests to join forces to launch a beast tide." Under the smoke and dust were the cosmic mercenary trialists who were fleeing in a panic.

"Who is it? You have no bottom line. Wouldn't it be better to complete the mission by slaughtering so many Kongming beasts?" Yan Yong began to retreat with the crowd and asked a strong snakeman beside him.

"I don't know. He seems to be a ruthless person who uses the law of fire. I saw him attack from afar. The momentum is far inferior to that of ordinary immortals. The Kongming Beast King couldn't last a breath in his hands." The strong man of the snake tribe turned his head and responded, "But brother, I think you seem familiar."

"You've probably made a mistake. I have an ordinary face." Yan Yong turned his head away from the other person's gaze.

"Impossible! Your appearance and temperament are extremely outstanding among the entire human race. I must have seen you somewhere." The strong snakeman said with certainty.

"Run quickly, you're going to be caught up." Yan Yong accelerated and quickly left the crowd behind.

"Since it was me who caused the beast tide to break out, then I will be the one to end it." Yan Yong felt a little ashamed in his heart. If he had not slaughtered the Kongming Beast Nest in a short period of time, this riot would not have happened.

After getting rid of the crowd, Yan Yong changed his route and came to the back of the crowd. He wanted to block the beast tide here, calm the beast tide, and let this trial return to its original rhythm.

The sea of ​​fire suddenly erupted and began to spread. Soon it competed with the large cloud of smoke and dust, occupying the other half of the sky.

"Boom."

The beast tide quickly came up and pounced on Yan Yong who was trying to intercept them.

"Roar."

"Roar."

The few Kongming Beast Kings rushing in the front recognized the man in front of them as the powerful foreigner who had slaughtered too many Kongming Beast Nests the moment they saw the sea of ​​fire, and they immediately let out bursts of roars.

"Hoo ho ho."

The Kongming Beast King in the rear let out an even more violent and furious roar after receiving the signal that the enemy was found in the front.

The entire Kongming beast group began to form a strange formation in an orderly manner, condensing the power of the entire Kongming beast group together.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Yan Yong felt something was wrong. You know, the combined attack secret method is a very precious secret method. There is no combined attack secret method in the entire primitive universe. At most, only the Zerg Queen can order Zerg warriors to attack a target at the same time, but this is just a simple overlap of energy attacks, not a real combined attack secret method.

"It's bad. We can't let them truly combine together." Yan Yong felt a headache when he saw the powerful formation composed of hundreds of thousands of Kongming beasts in front of him.

It only takes 300,000 people to attack an ordinary ninth-level realm master and seriously injure a primary-level king.

Moreover, among this group of beasts, there are not only ordinary Kongming beasts of the realm master level, but also immortal-level Kongming beast kings. Moreover, this kind of attack gathered through a joint formation will increase the attack to a level, and even pose a threat to high-level kings. Although they are not afraid, the purpose is not to slaughter.

If the other side can really unite completely and take the attack to a higher level, it would be inappropriate to expose one's own strength if one strikes without knowing how to control one's strength. This is a secret assessment realm and who knows if there are any alien spies. It would be difficult for one to deal with them if they ambush him on the way back.
