Devouring the Star: Age of Cataclysm

Chapter 149: Lin Ye's Domain! [ words long chapter, please subscribe]

Relics of ancient civilization.

In the magnificent semicircular hall, two figures stood in front of a water curtain.

The elder in front is dressed in red, with a fair and gentle face. His eyes are as gentle as a deep and silent old well, with the vicissitudes of time flowing in them.

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking relaxed and elegant, like an immortal who had descended into the world.

Faintly, there is an indescribable sense of oppression emanating from it, which is awe-inspiring.

However, the aura emitted by the Dust Burner at this moment was completely different from what Lin Ye had just seen.

At this moment, the old man and the young man were both watching every scene in front of them quietly.

On the screen, there were scenes of Lin Ye fighting fiercely with puppet generals.

"Chan'er, if Lin Ye can successfully pass these two trials and obtain my inheritance, you and Huo Rong will accompany him in the future."

After saying this, Venerable Fenchen turned his head slightly.

Beside him, stood quietly a girl who looked like she had walked out of a fairyland.

Her face was extremely beautiful, yet as calm as a cold pond, and her white dress seemed seven points brighter than ice and snow.

She is obviously not very old, but if anyone looks at her, they will inexplicably feel a sense of simplicity and vicissitudes as if she came from ancient times.

Behind the two of them, a tall figure gathered.

This is a sturdy alien with a humanoid body, covered with red hair, and a simple face full of smiles.
"Master, this is Chan'er." The red-haired alien said respectfully to Venerable Fenchen and the other two.

"Long time no see, Huo Rong." The girl greeted with a smile.

"Long time no see, Chan'er." The red-haired alien smiled and then retreated behind the two.

At this time, Chan'er looked at Venerable Fenchen and asked weakly, "Master, are you going to fall into deep sleep again?"

"Well, on my way back from treasure hunting in that secret place, I unfortunately met the Tianhua Master of the Tianlang Clan, who intercepted and killed me and robbed me of my treasure..."

“If it weren’t for the help of the Lord of Darkness, I’m afraid my divine body would have been completely destroyed by Venerable Tianhua.”

Venerable Fenchen sighed secretly and whispered: "Even the only three top treasures and seven treasures I have now were all taken away by that bastard Tianhua..."

"Even if I am rescued, my treasure has been taken away, and my divine body has been damaged by more than 95%. I can only slowly recover by sleeping for an endless amount of time."

"The world has changed so much. I'm afraid that when I wake up next time, this young man will have already turned into ashes."

Staring blankly at her master's slightly desolate figure, the girl called 'Chan'er's' eyes suddenly turned red, and she whispered: "Master, why don't you ask the Lord of Chaos City for help?"

"With the great magical powers of the city lord, he will surely be able to quickly restore the master's divine body!"

“Hehehe… No need for that. The price of asking the Lord of Chaos to restore his divine body is a bit high. It’s not the price of one or two valuable treasures.”

"Moreover, with my current wealth, if I don't want to become the 'first loser in the universe' like the Lord of Qianwu, I'd better just sleep and recover!"

Speaking of the 'Lord of Qianwu', the woman's beautiful eyes gleamed with a gleam of brilliance, and she said, "Master, do you really want to meet your old friend, the Lord of Qianwu?"

"I won't go, I won't go."

Listening to the woman's words, Venerable Fenchen showed a bitter smile on his face and sighed:
"I have made fun of Qian Wu, the first loser in the universe, many times in the past... and now my divine body has been damaged and my treasures have been taken away. Who knows, this old friend will make fun of me in this way!"

"..." Upon hearing this, Chan'er's face turned gloomy, and she was obviously a little sad.

After all, Venerable Fenchen was a great benefactor to her and was like a father and a teacher.

The former saw her expression and comforted her gently: "Silly Chan'er, I have only been sleeping for billions of epochs. We will meet again in the future. There is no need to be sad."

"Oh~" the girl in white responded softly.

"Master, is the first level of the trial you set too difficult?"

"Just the extremely powerful Puppet King can reach the fourth level of planetary strength when it explodes!"

"Such combat power is far beyond the ability of a young man who has just entered the planetary level to fight against..."

Watching the confrontation between Lin Ye and the Puppet King, the girl couldn't help but worry.

"This Lin Ye is already the 100th trialist. Over the endless years, you have been to the twelve trial sites in several major cosmic countries, and not a single successor has appeared!"

Chan'er blinked her beautiful eyes, with a gleam of intelligence in them.

"Don't worry, those who are destined, capable and talented will naturally become my inheritance."

As for his inheritance, Venerable Fenchen did not have any worries. Instead, he smiled and said, "I have come through so many epochs anyway. If I don't have disciples, then I don't need them."

"There is one more thing you have to remember, Chan'er. This kid is just like the other trial participants. If he is really on the verge of death, let him end the trial and send him out!"

"Before, I told him those cruel words that he would die if he didn't pass the trial. I was just deceiving this stupid boy."

"In the end, he took it seriously."

"Since we first forcibly moved Lin Ye here, and then lured him with the spirits of plants and wood crystals, how could we let him die so easily in this trial ground?"

Looking at the young man on the screen who was ready for battle, a smile appeared on Venerable Fenchen's face, sweeping away his previous dejection.

"Master, you are still like this, with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. I will keep a close eye on him."

A smile like spring blossomed appeared on Chan'er's face.

Venerable Fenchen touched her little head gently, just like when he created her.

After a long time, Venerable Fenchen withdrew his hand.

He stared at Lin Ye, who was fighting fiercely on the screen, with a pair of gentle eyes. He looked him up and down carefully and said, "This young man, when facing the Puppet War King, he may have a chance of winning, right?"

"Hmm?" Chan'er frowned slightly, and then asked doubtfully: "Master, do you mean...domain?"

"Yes! As long as he can comprehend his own domain and use his mental power... his chances of winning are very high."

"It's just that a first-level planetary being has its own domain. This is like finding a needle in a sea of ​​stars. It's so rare..."

Venerable Fenchen smiled and shook his head, saying, "I just scared him a little, but he took it seriously and thought he had to kill all the opponents to pass this level. What a fool."

“Only fools have good fortune… otherwise who would fight with that little fire dragon for so long in the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and finally kill it.” The girl looked at the smile of Venerable Fenchen and her red lips moved slightly.

"Okay, Chan'er, I'll leave the rest of Lin Ye's trials to you. I can't hold on any longer."

"Master, can you stay a little longer?!"

"Oh, you fool." Seeing Chan'er's expression, Venerable Fenchen also sighed softly.

He and Chan'er have been together for so many years and have traveled almost half of the universe. Naturally, the feelings between them are extremely deep.

Otherwise, he would not have left Chan'er on Earth to watch over the trial ground for her safety.

After comforting Chan'er, the two stood side by side and watched the trial on the screen together.

……

In the trial square.

Lin Ye's growl, the sound of the sword breaking through the air, the loud crash, and the roar of the puppets intertwined into a tragic symphony in this isolated trial ground.

Facing this almost flawless puppet king, Lin Ye launched an attack brazenly.

From the very beginning, he used the ninth strike of the Absolute Breath to increase his strength several times.

Thereby making your speed and strength surge to the peak state.

Coupled with his sharp sword skills honed from killing, and his artistic conception-level body movements, although he was at a disadvantage, his life was not in danger for the time being.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding……

Brilliant flames bloomed in the sky.

Incomparably dazzling.

Accompanied by bursts of sharp and fierce collisions, rays of light shot everywhere on the Puppet War King, affecting its movements.

At this time, Lin Ye completely abandoned any distracting thoughts.

The mind is concentrated and round.

The strength in every part of the body is extremely clear, like a clear mirror.

As his thoughts fell, they and his genetic energy exploded through the sword.

call! !

When the huge golden sword was swung in the air, Lin Ye's body trembled violently.

Inside the body, it was as if a stream of blood had turned into a mirror.

Bones, flesh, blood, and countless cells suddenly burst out with waves of power, all of which were integrated into the sword and headed straight towards the giant sword.

"The ninth slash of the ultimate breath!"

"cut!"

"Cut again!"

In an instant, the body exploded nine times in succession, and the nine forces merged into one.

The blood-red blade light, accompanied by surging power, chopped towards the Puppet War King's head before he swung his blade.

boom!
With a dull bang, the huge puppet was struck and flew backwards.

The terrifying blade light, with tremendous force, struck fiercely on the heavy armor of the Puppet King.

However, it only caused a few sparks and broke the defense, and did not even cause any damage to the flesh and blood of this super-large puppet.

It doesn't matter!

"pity."

Looking at the damage caused by his almost full-strength attack, Lin Ye's eyes dimmed.

But the recoil of this knife also made Lin Ye feel uncomfortable.

The powerful recoil force flowed along the narrow blade and was transmitted to Lin Ye's arm.

In an instant, the entire arm became numb and I could hardly feel its existence.

But he still held the sword tightly, and forced his flying body to twist in mid-air in a strange posture, and pounced on it again.

Then, a shadow loomed over him, making Lin Ye feel cold in his heart.

It turned out that the Puppet War King was so angry that he clenched his palm into a fist and smashed towards him.

Feeling the tremendous power of this iron fist, Lin Ye finally chose to temporarily avoid the attack.

Boom!
As his figure changed, he stepped on the lightning-fast fist and used the force to increase his speed again.

boom! !

With a loud bang, the ground in the square cracked.

With Lin Ye's all-out attack, the puppet war king in front of him was blasted away.

“Sizzle!!”

The tip of the giant sword in his hand slid on the ground, and the heavy sword body plowed a deep dent in the bluestone floor.

Seeing this scene, Lin Ye's heart sank again.

The Puppet War King has no emotions and no words.

There was only a strong murderous intent bursting out from that pair of ferocious eyes, wanting to chop Lin Ye, the trial-taker, into pieces.

However, at this moment, as Lin Ye's thoughts moved.

The flying knives surrounding them were flying all over the sky, leaving strange and unpredictable traces.

Then, they kept attacking the puppet war king's body as big as a mountain from various tricky angles, looking for its weaknesses.

However, all the consecutive tentative attacks were blocked by it, and the golden giant sword was swung with a clanging sound.

The sky was filled with sword shadows, and in the blink of an eye, all the flying knives were swept away.

In an instant, a strange glow appeared in its red pupils. Its body speed increased, and it swung the giant sword in its hand, smashing towards Lin Ye.

So fast!

Lin Ye's pupils shrank sharply as if they were pricked by needles, but the knife in his hand did not stop.

The little bit of his physical and genetic energy that had just been recovered was madly urged by him, just to deal with the most powerful BOSS in the first level of the trial.

boom!
Another hard blow.

Lin Ye's body flew backwards in an instant like pulling onions out of dry land, and a sweet taste surged out of his throat.

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

In mid-air, Lin Ye took several deep breaths.

The successive battles consumed a huge amount of his physical strength and genetic energy.

Even the short period of training just now only restored a small part of his physical strength, which was a drop in the bucket.

Facing such a powerful opponent, even Lin Ye couldn't help but feel a little worried.

So tough!

This super-large puppet is simply a killing machine born for combat. It has no emotions or pain, and does not know what fatigue is. It only sees with its eyes.

There are only enemies and fighting to the end!
“No matter how strong my opponent is, I will forge ahead against all odds!”

"kill!"

Relying on the outburst of "Ten Slashes of Absolute Breath", Lin Ye forcibly squeezed the power of every cell in his body and swung it out through the sword again and again!

His artistic conception-level body movements combined with "Shadow Broken" gave him a speed he could rely on when facing this enemy.

"laugh!"

The giant sword has no edge, but when it is swung it makes a whistling sound, bringing with it a sharp and piercing sound.

When the Puppet War King swung the heavy sword, Lin Ye's eyes flashed, and then a shadow quickly retreated, not trying to take the sword head-on.

The power of the sword that just unleashed had already drained out 95% of Lin Ye's physical strength.

Even if he relied on his genetic energy to stimulate cells and provide strength, in his current state, he could only passively dodge.

And every time he swung the sword, he was trying his best to suppress the power of cells throughout his body.

At this moment, one word is most appropriate to describe Lin Ye——

The end of the powerful crossbow!

If he did not have a strong mental power, he would have become a dead soul under the sword of the Puppet War King.

Not far away, a strange light flashed in the huge blood-red eyes of the Puppet War King.

The huge nightmare-like body flashed over, capable of bringing suffocating pressure like the sky falling to any warrior who had just entered the planetary level.

As if it took advantage of the trial-taker's weak state, it approached and swung its greatsword repeatedly.

The tip of the ghost-head sword swept towards Lin Ye again and again, but was avoided by Lin Ye with his shadow fragments... Now that his physical strength was greatly depleted.

All he could do was dodge.

The huge physical exertion and waves of weakness and dizziness hit his consciousness.

The body became sluggish due to weakness and had lost the chance to attack actively, and could only passively take the beating.

The heavy body made the sword heavy as well.

“No, I will definitely die here if I continue like this!” Lin Ye felt a huge sense of crisis in his heart.

Then he bit his tongue hard with his teeth, and his body shuddered violently… but his body felt as if a huge weight was pressing down on his shoulders.

He could only stand up slowly with all his strength.

At this moment, the drawbacks brought about by the outburst of "Ten Slashes of Absolute Breath" were fully revealed - an almost numb arm, piercing pain all over the body, and a right hand that was as numb as if it was filled with lead...all of which showed that Lin Ye was in an extremely poor condition.

But, when it rains, it pours!

The attacks from the Puppet War King became more fierce and fierce.

Every time the giant sword swept across, it posed a huge threat to his life and death.

If he fails to avoid it, then Lin Ye will only face death!

If only... I could control this sword with my mental power and unleash the same power as the Ten Slashes of Absolute Breath.

Lin Ye switched the sword to his left hand and forcefully wielded the sword in his left hand, which he was not familiar with.

The purpose is just to block the attack from the puppet and avoid greater trauma to the body.

However, it was the moment of changing the knife.

The tip of the ghost-head sword passed in front of Lin Ye, leaving a deep blood mark.

Just by being scratched by the edge of the golden giant sword, a hole appeared in his red battle suit, and blood quickly flowed out of the hole, making the color of the battle suit even darker...

As the battle progressed, Lin Ye's condition became worse and worse.

Even his mental power became weaker as he grew weaker, and he no longer had the ferocious offensive power he had before.

On the other hand, the Puppet War King had no other injuries except for a few deep wounds that cut through the thick armor and exposed the bones.

Compared to Lin Ye, his condition is much better.

"Whoa! Whoa!"

The Puppet War King's attacks suddenly became more intense, sprinkling down on Lin Ye like mercury.

At this moment, the latter felt a huge wave rolling towards him.

Lin Ye also hurriedly controlled the flying knife to block it, but he was soon overwhelmed by the attack and continued to attack.

Facing the Puppet King Slayer who was faster than lightning, Lin Ye knew that he could not dodge and could only raise his sword to block it with difficulty.

boom! !

A loud noise shook the square.

Lin Ye's sword was hit hard by the giant sword, and he flew backwards heavily, and his eyes suddenly went black.

At this moment, he had turned into a bloody man from head to toe, with many wounds and blood holes all over his body.

Even Lin Ye hadn’t expected that after suffering so many injuries and bleeding so much, with only a trace of strength left in his body, his consciousness had not yet become turbid, and he was still alive...

call out!call out!call out!
Looking at the flying knives that were still blocking the Puppet War King, Lin Ye showed a helpless smile on his face.

Perhaps, it was his own powerful mental power that supported him in fighting till now.

At this moment, Lin Ye no longer had the energy to pay attention to the movements in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The huge blood-colored tower, which had existed ever since he activated his mental power, was emitting a rich blood-red light all over.

The entire sea of ​​consciousness, including the miniature light ball representing the planetary first-order mental power, was reflected in blood red.

The movements in the sea of ​​consciousness seemed to affect the miniature planet in the dantian.

Strands of blood-red energy that came from nowhere continuously merged into this miniature planet, causing it to run faster.

The next moment, the micro planet absorbed the surrounding cosmic energy almost like plundering.

It then transformed into streams of refined genetic energy, constantly repairing and tempering Lin Ye's body.

Almost at the same time, under the illumination of the red light, all the cells in his body instantly transformed from a dying state to a rejuvenated state, madly absorbing the mental power and genetic energy that swept through his body.

The abundant power that emerged again slightly dispelled the gloom in Lin Ye's heart, allowing him to recover quickly.

His eyes were bright as he looked at the Puppet War King who was still approaching him even under the continuous attacks of flying knives, and his gaze became more and more determined.

If I want to become strong, I must seize these great opportunities.

Lin Ye will not give up easily.

He understood that he might not encounter an opportunity to take a trial like the one that Venerable Fenchen had in his lifetime.

As if noticing Lin Ye's abnormal condition, the Puppet King suddenly raised the giant sword in his hand high, and let out a series of obscure and unpleasant roars from his mouth.

As the sound rang out, countless crimson lights flickered around Lin Ye.

In the red light, hundreds of puppet warriors holding various weapons appeared in different locations.

The moment they appeared, they attacked Lin Ye.

Lin Ye never imagined that the most powerful BOSS in this trial could actually summon his subordinates.

He felt a little agitated, but soon calmed down.

Looking at the puppet warriors that were everywhere, Lin Ye suddenly had an idea.

"Yes, the attacks of these puppet warriors are everywhere... and I only have a sword, fourteen flying knives, and the Ten Slashes of Absolute Breath. How can I resist these fierce attacks?"

Lin Ye muttered to himself, and many insights into swordsmanship quickly emerged in his mind.

In particular, the large amount of insights accumulated in Lijiang, Anning Fortress and the recent battle have begun to merge rapidly at this moment.

Like removing the dross and retaining the essence, the flash of inspiration in Lin Ye's mind seemed to turn into a line, connecting these insights together to form a complete system.

"No matter how powerful my swordsmanship is, it cannot defend against opponents like my mental power. There is a limit in the end."

"Human power will eventually reach its limit, so I can only turn swordsmanship into my own domain!!"

"Wherever my territory is, all enemies will be blocked."

After experiencing a life-and-death battle, his consciousness and thoughts became clearer.

It was almost like a result of long-term accumulation, as Lin Ye gradually improved himself based on his accumulated experience and insights.

Just like painting on a blank piece of paper, you gradually carve out your own territory.

"I'll use my genetic energy and mental power as a sword!" Lin Ye whispered softly.

"Crash!!"

Strands of red genetic energy surged out from the microcosm at the dantian, and the sound of water appeared out of nowhere.

These genetic energies are as red as the sunset and extremely dazzling.

As soon as it appeared, it lingered around Lin Ye.

Also swarming out was the spiritual power within the light ball in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Among them, there was also some energy from the blood-colored tower.

Whether it is genetic energy or mental power, they are essentially energy.

When it comes to swordsmanship, plants, bamboo, rocks, even flowers and water... everything can be a knife.

He had used genetic energy to make a sword when fighting the Flame Dragon King, and now he was doing the same.

"Genetic energy, mental power, and the Ten Slashes of Absolute Breath, transform my domain!"

Lin Ye's greatest achievement in swordsmanship was the "Ten Slashes of Absolute Breath". Now, with all his insights and understanding of it, he transformed the moves into the field of sword intent. Many insights came to his mind at once, and the power immediately underwent a qualitative change.

"Boom!"

Every strand of genetic energy turned into a knife! The inner part of the genetic energy was flame energy, and the surface had naturally condensed the knife force to form a knife shape!
The mental power also turned into a knife, forming a knife shape!
They began to surround Lin Ye, like a huge whirlpool, spinning non-stop.

The blade formed by genetic energy is rotating in the same direction, while the knife formed by mental power is rotating in the opposite direction.

An indescribable huge tearing force emerged, sweeping out in all directions with Lin Ye as the center, forming a huge area a thousand meters around him.

For a moment, undercurrents sometimes surged, sometimes stimulated, and the surging sword light attacked all invading puppet warriors!
At this moment, even in Lin Ye’s eyes, this puppet war king was no match for him.

Just as Lin Ye was feeling joyful, a series of electronic prompts sounded in his mind——

[Congratulations to the host for reaching the state of mind of 'No regrets even if dying, fearless heart', the flame field is activated, please name it! ]

"Nirvana Realm!" Facing the prompt sound in his mind, Lin Ye said without hesitation.

[Nirvana Realm, naming completed! ]

[Advanced to the realm level]

[Realizing the Tenth Slash of Absolute Breath]

[The warrior realm is upgraded to the second planetary level]

[Spiritual Master upgraded to Planetary Level 2]

"..."

The electronic sound dropped.

He suddenly felt that his understanding of body movement and swordsmanship had been elevated to a whole new level.

Then, waves of majestic aura far exceeding that of the past swept over him, covering him, and then returned to normal.

Under the outbreak of Nirvana realm.

All the puppet warriors who tried to get close to Lin Ye felt layers of huge force tearing their bodies apart as soon as they entered the field.

There were also terrifying and ferocious sword lights that could cut them into pieces in an instant.

In the Nirvana realm, attacks are everywhere and are constantly changing.

Not to mention ordinary puppet warriors, even if a puppet king entered there, most of his strength would be used to resist the killing and sword intent in the area!
After a series of breakthroughs and enhancements, Lin Ye felt that his condition had reached its peak.

At the second planetary level, he felt much stronger than before.

Lin Ye looked at the cold red sword in his hand, his eyes sharpened, and he said in a deep voice:
"war!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he used his Nirvana Realm and rushed towards the Puppet War King in his strongest state after the breakthrough.
