Swallowed Star: Hunyuan Tianlong

Chapter 36 Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace
On the seventeenth plane of the Giant Axe Sky Bridge, Yan Yong quietly waited for the clouds to condense into a mysterious masked man.

“You are very strong. You can reach the seventeenth level after your first time of comprehending the Chaos Monument. However, this is the limit for you. You should go back and comprehend for a few more years to digest your insights. Seven days of comprehending may only be enough for you to systematically organize what you have figured out.” The black liquid slowly formed, and finally condensed into a mysterious masked figure.

"Boom." Yan Yong didn't say much. As soon as the opponent took shape, Yan Yong picked up his halberd and rushed over to fight with the opponent.

"You are such an impatient boy! Your fiery temper is just right for my Fire and Sky Law route." The red-haired venerable praised Yan Yong when he saw him rushing straight towards the gatekeeper.

"With such an impatient temper, he will suffer a great loss if he encounters a cunning alien race. It's a good opportunity for me to teach him a lesson and let him know the importance of strategy." The venerable man with a chest-length beard stroked his beard with one hand, and his phoenix eyes revealed bursts of divine light.

Other cosmic masters also said that Yan Yong was suitable for their own paths, as if they had already determined that Yan Yong would become their disciple.

……

The two halberds kept colliding on the Tongtian Bridge plane, the violent fluctuations of the law of fire dissipated wildly, and the two men's moves were wildly open and closed.

"The Skyfire Halberd, as a fifth-level top-level force weapon, is not used in this way." After fighting for several minutes, the mysterious man realized that although Yan Yong's halberd skills could be called exquisite, his moves were too simple and crude, and were completely unsophisticated.

The mysterious man's halberd skills began to become more and more fierce. He cut, chopped, hooked and smashed. The Skyfire Halberd flew up and down. His moves were domineering and sharp. He soon gained the upper hand in the fight.

Seeing that his halberd skills were at a disadvantage, Yan Yong was not in a hurry. He calmly observed and learned how the opponent used the halberd. Although he had been honing his skills in the battlefields outside the domain for many years, he had hardly ever met a master who used a halberd.

Even if his moves are simple and crude, in a battle between different weapons, the impact of the moves is not great, and he can often be evenly matched or even gain the upper hand in a battle with other weapons. But it is different with the same halberd. The sophistication of the moves can quickly allow one side to suppress the other.

"What a calm boy, he can learn from the opponent's strengths in battle." The red-haired venerable sighed, "The calmness hidden under the exploding flames is the strongest fire."

"Humph, you are the one who said that the other party was impatient, and you are also the one who was calm." The long-bearded venerable said disdainfully, "I think this kid's halberd skills are messy and rough, and he can only hit people. Let me teach him a lesson."

"What do you know? I can find the advantages of this child from all aspects. It is me who should teach him so that his advantages can be continuously magnified." The red-haired venerable retorted.

"No need to argue. Let me teach this child. He has already earned the reputation of 'Invincible King' in the outer battlefield. Ordinary universe masters cannot teach him."

A strong man who was wearing a silver robe with gold patterns, had long brown-red hair, crystal skin, black eyes, and a vertical mark between his eyebrows. He looked like an Earthling and suddenly appeared in this Tongtian Bridge plane.

"Palace Master Tianshi." The venerables present instantly recognized the other party and spoke respectfully.

The Lord of Sky Eclipse Palace was naturally called here by Baffin, who saw many venerables at the scene arguing and then sent a group email to higher-level officials.

"Becoming the Invincible King? There is no record in the virtual universe system that this child has the ability to become the Invincible King?" The Red-haired Venerable opened the information he received about Yan Yong and indeed saw that the other party had been tempered in the battlefield outside the domain, but he only killed a demon royal family member as a 'realm master'. He could not see the specific battle video, and there was no relevant record of being 'becoming the Invincible King'.

“Really? But what I saw was that the Golden Dragon King, who had recently gained fame in the third extraterritorial battlefield and finally seized the inheritance of the Lord of Liuyun Palace that was covered up by strange fluctuations and left in Yantian Continent, and the Lord of Fire Dragon Realm Yan Yong were the same person.” The Lord of Tianshi Palace asked doubtfully. With his authority as a Seven-Star Overlord, Yan Yong’s information was naturally complete and clear without any cover-up.

However, other venerables who did not have the authority of a seven-star overlord could only see Yan Yong’s achievements as a realm master.

Although the Sky Eclipse Palace Master could see the complete information, he didn't know what the virtual universe system had done. After all, the virtual universe hadn't done anything to him. "What? This guy is the 'Golden Dragon King'?" The universe masters were surprised and envious. After all, that was the value of a universe overlord. Now the other party, a mere realm master, was richer than them, especially a certain master in the corner.

"Even if this kid is the Golden Dragon King, he shouldn't be taught by you, a strong man from the Jiuyu lineage of the Virtual Universe Company. This kid is an excellent inheritor of the Giant Axe lineage of my Giant Axe Fighting Arena, so naturally he should be taught by my Giant Axe lineage. I will notify the Zushu Venerable of my Giant Axe Fighting Arena to come."

Those present were naturally the Universe Masters from the Giant Axe Arena who had come here after being alarmed by the first email. After all, the first wave of emails only said that Yan Yong's strength was astonishing, and his fire and space laws were extremely astonishing. He easily passed the 16th level of the Sky Bridge when he comprehended the Chaos Monument for the first time. Naturally, the Masters from other forces would not come to snatch people from the Giant Axe Arena.

But the second wave of emails showed that the other party had the ability to pass at least 18 floors on his first try, which naturally attracted the attention of others. It was under this kind of attention that the Palace Master of Tianshi Palace retrieved Yan Yong's information, and when he saw the words "become the invincible king", he, who always valued talents, could not sit still and came to snatch him away immediately.

“With such a beautiful and beautiful time, it doesn’t matter who teaches, but there must be a most suitable teacher.” The Palace Master of Tianshi Palace was not angry. Knowing that the other party’s information had been modified, he felt that he had no chance to accept a disciple. He stayed here just to see which powerful person was responsible for this.

……

On the seventeenth floor of the Tongtian Bridge, Yan Yong had been fighting with the gatekeeper for dozens of minutes. Although he had been passively taking the beating and in a defensive state, he had not been able to be injured by the opponent due to his strong understanding of the laws and talent.

"The seventeenth floor is almost enough. You should go back and find a good teacher to practice well before trying again." The gatekeeper said when he saw that Yan Yong was always on the defensive.

"You're overthinking it. A more sophisticated halberd technique can only allow you to gain the upper hand in a battle with an equally matched opponent. The gap between you and me cannot be bridged by a little halberd technique." After gradually getting used to the opponent's attacks, Yan Yong no longer hesitated. He swung his halberd with great force, miraculously knocking away the opponent's halberd, and took the opportunity to create a small distance between them.

Such a short distance was naturally insignificant, and the gatekeeper immediately adjusted his offensive and attacked again. Such a short time and distance could not reverse the victory or defeat for an equally matched opponent, and it could even be said to be useless. However, as Yan Yong said, the gap between the two was so huge that it could not be made up by a little halberd technique.

"A dragon emerges from the sea." A fierce sea of ​​fire rose up, illuminating the entire universe outside the neutron star where the 17th-floor Tongtian Bridge was located in red. The gatekeeper's offensive was also stagnant, and he could no longer launch a tidal attack.

"Boom." The center of the roiling sea of ​​fire suddenly turned dark red, as if all the light was burned out by the flames and could not escape. Then a dark red dragon wrapped in thick and hot flames roared out, swallowed the gatekeeper who was blocked by the more powerful sea of ​​fire into its stomach, and then bombarded the indestructible neutron star space.

The sea of ​​fire soon returned to calm again, as if it were a pool of stagnant water without any ripples.

Yan Yong himself has an understanding of the laws that is comparable to that of the eighteenth-level Tongtian Bridge. There is a gap in the level of laws between him and the gatekeeper of the seventeenth Tongtian Bridge. The advantage of the halberd method cannot offset this gap at all. After all, the gap between each level of the Tongtian Bridge is several times, and the more sophisticated halberd method can only increase the combat power by 1.5 times at most.

As the gatekeeper was killed instantly, the space passage leading to the eighteenth-level Tongtian Bridge plane was opened.

Yan Yong quickly stepped into the air and flew towards the neutron star deep in the eighteenth-level Tongtian Bridge.

"Sure enough, this kid is a rough diamond. He has never received any systematic training, and his secret techniques have barely reached the top level. However, he accidentally performed the fusion law, which is not comparable to the limit of ordinary kings. If he had enough time to comprehend the Chaos Monument, it would be easy for him to break through the 20th level today. However, he is still a little short of the mark now."

The vision of the Lord of Tianshi Palace is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary Venerables. He can see the truth of Yan Yong's laws at a glance, and he also has a rough estimate of how many levels of Tongtian Bridge the other party can pass.
