Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

"what?"

Faced with this sword strike that burned the void, the three mechanical kings were momentarily stunned.

"We've kicked a hornet's nest!"

This was the shared thought of the three mechanical race kings. In the energy burst just now, they had detected that the enemy's energy had completely reached the limit of a king.

Surpassing the peak of the King-level title and the limit of the King-level title are two different concepts, with a difference of nearly ten times, which is a fatal gap.

It is a gap that even burning divine power at the peak of the King-level can not bridge, because the latter can also burn divine power.

"Withdraw! Withdraw! Withdraw..."

As a mechanical race, they are the most aware of the differences in combat power between different realms, and the combat power of the King Limit makes them have no intention of fighting against it.

"Want to run!"

After unleashing a full-force sword strike, the surrounding mechanical creations instantly came to a standstill. Lu Yunhe also sensed the intention of the three mechanical kings to retreat, and his hands clasped together instantly.

"The tree world is coming!"

Although this action is not necessary, Lu Yunhe felt that there should still be a sense of ritual.

Rumble…

In an instant, countless towering trees sprouted directly from the earth, or rather from the void, covering an area of ​​hundreds of thousands of kilometers around, forming a true world of trees.

The mechanical soldiers that had surrounded Lu Yunhe were instantly enveloped by countless towering trees.

"Now, I've surrounded you!"

Lu Yunhe stood in the very center, his aura alone overwhelming the tens of millions of mechanical soldiers around him.

"A plant life form of the King level!"

The parameters in the minds of the three mechanical immortals were somewhat chaotic. They didn't care about a single King-level plant life form at all, but what was terrifying was that there was another King-level Limit cultivator lurking behind them.

"We are willing to pay compensation!" The three mechanical race kings immediately sent out a peace request.

"Only those who survive have the right to seek peace."

Lu Yunhe swung his sword and charged directly into the mechanical army, his sword light aimed directly at the mechanical race's main body.

Chapter 234 The Void Labyrinth

boom!

A pyramid containing extremely high energy exploded, blasting a large hole in the dense tree barrier. A small spaceship then flew out in an instant, not daring to stop for the slightest.

One of them got away!

Lu Yunhe, in the Tree Realm, looked at the distant void and shook his head slightly.

There are many ways to save one's life that can lead to immortality and the title of king. If he is unwilling to burn his divine power, he still has a chance to escape.

However, although one of the mechanical race members was allowed to escape and become a king, the remaining two were not so lucky. Trapped in the Tree Realm, they were killed one by one by Lu Yunhe.

"These machine race people are really rich!"

Lu Yunhe gathered the surrounding tree realm. These trees were not creations of energy, but rather derivatives of the divine tree's avatar.

Each tree was entwined with a mechanical puppet, which was then tossed into a storage ring.

Even though Lu Yunhe hadn't sorted them out yet, just looking at the sheer number of mechanical puppets, he knew that this was a very fruitful haul.

"At least several hundred billion Chaos Units!"

Lu Yunhe thought to himself, of course, this price is for the human race, not the mechanical race.

Due to the inherent characteristics of the mechanical race, they have a natural advantage in metal materials and instruments.

For example, G-grade metal is very expensive among humans, and it is generally only used by those who have reached the highest rank of immortality. It is also mainly used to forge weapons or armor.

However, its value is much lower in the mechanical race, and it can even be used to create large golems, which can be considered as a price difference between overseas and domestic markets.

"After selling these machines, let's also find a way to buy an Evolution Heart for Delacion from the Hongmeng!"

After resolving the issue of the Mechanical Race's conferment of the throne, Lu Yunhe had a sudden thought and considered the Heart of Evolution.

The Heart of Evolution is a unique product of the mechanical race in the primordial universe. Its ability is very simple: it can grant intelligent life an evolving body.

The cultivation and evolution of intelligent life is extremely difficult, but if one can obtain an evolutionary heart and integrate it into a metal body, then the intelligent life can reside permanently in the body and become 100% integrated with it.

This evolved body will grant intelligent life a level of awareness of the laws of the universe comparable to that of ordinary humans, enabling them to cultivate normally and even evolve into immortality.

Moreover, this evolved body can also cultivate and strengthen itself like a normal life form.

The "Heart of Evolution" is extremely important to the Machine Race, so it is strictly controlled and very difficult to obtain.

However, there are still occasional purchases within the Hongmeng, with prices ranging from tens of billions of mixed units.

This price is comparable to all the wealth of a king who has achieved immortality, but it is still acceptable to Lu Yunhe.

After all, Delacion had been with him for so many years, so the price was worthwhile. Moreover, if he were to take control of the virtual universe in the future, he would naturally need a mechanical life form of his own.

"Ideally, a few more mechanical race kings would be able to help me cultivate my Divine Tree clone to the peak of the king level."

Lu Yunhe put away the numerous mechanical puppets. Although he had killed two mechanical kings and gained a lot, one of them still escaped, which left him with a lingering resentment.

If the power of the Divine Tree clone can reach the peak of the King-Sealing Realm, then once the Tree Realm is activated, there will be absolutely no chance of escape for those below the King-Sealing Limit.

If the Divine Tree clone can reach the limit of the King-Sealing Realm, then Lu Yunhe in Divine Tree Mode will directly possess the invincible power of the King-Sealing Realm and easily kill those at the King-Sealing Realm limit.

"continue!"

Lu Yunhe looked around and then flew towards the central area of ​​the 66th floor.

At the same time, the mechanical race king who escaped from Lu Yunhe also quickly found his fellow race members and spread the news that another king-level powerhouse had arrived in the human race.

"As expected of the cunning human race, a peak-level King-level expert actually disguised himself as an ordinary King-level expert."

Upon hearing the story of the escaped mechanical king, the other mechanical race members were instantly filled with righteous indignation. However, they could only talk about it; taking revenge was out of the question.

……

Rumble…

"There's fighting again!"

While flying, Lu Yunhe sensed the sounds of battle ahead and instantly accelerated towards them.

It is indeed troublesome not having a detector; one can only rely on one's own senses to explore, which is very inefficient.

Most importantly, this kind of exploration based on perception means that when you discover the enemy, the enemy can also discover you immediately.

In the center of the battlefield are a human squad and a demon squad, currently engaged in combat.

The human race only has three kings, while the demon race has five. This battle only occurred because the human race had the upper hand.

"Hmph, another human king has arrived as reinforcements. It seems we can't take down these three humans. Let's go!"

The five demons also instantly saw Lu Yunhe flying towards them at lightning speed. Their tone was full of displeasure. They had finally managed to seize an opportunity, only to have it disrupted like this.

With five against three, they held an absolute advantage, and if the fight dragged on, they could likely kill one or two more human kings.

But now, with five against four, we can only say we have an advantage; it's practically impossible to kill the opponent.

Therefore, the five demon kings made a decisive decision to leave and find their next target.

"Phew, not bad luck..."

Seeing the five demon kings retreating, the human race showed no intention of pursuing them. Even with an extra comrade, they were at a disadvantage and naturally could not stop the enemy.

“He actually ran away!”

Lu Yunhe, on the Flying Dragon Battlefield, looked at the five demons who were gradually disappearing into the distance, and a look of regret instantly appeared on his face.

"Battle King!"

At this moment, the three human kings looked at their comrades who had come to their aid and instantly showed expressions of astonishment.

"Red Armor King, Three-Eyed King, it's been a long time."

Lu Yunhe was also somewhat surprised, not expecting to run into an acquaintance here.

"Hahaha, War King, you've finally arrived. Thank you for your help earlier."

King Crimson Armor was delighted to run into an acquaintance here, and the emotions he felt from being besieged by five demons vanished instantly.

"If it weren't for you just now, one of the three of us would probably be dead here."

The Crimson Armor King was still somewhat shaken when he recalled the battle. He had thought that the three Kings working together would be enough, but he hadn't expected the other side to be even more ruthless, with all five Kings acting at once.

At first, a single King was enough to carry out the mission, but after being hunted down by a team of Kings, the remaining Kings began to form teams one after another.

Two, three, five—that's how the dangerous environment of the entire 66th level of the underground city came about.

"grateful!"

The Three-Eyed King and another human king expressed their gratitude, acknowledging that the situation had indeed been dire.

Even with the combined attack of five demon kings, the Crimson Armor King still had the ability to escape, but the other two might have a much harder time.

"I didn't make a move just now, so it can be considered that they withdrew on their own initiative."

Lu Yunhe didn't mind the gratitude from the Crimson Armor King and his companions, since he still owed the Crimson Armor King a small favor, and this was a way of repaying it.

After chatting for a while, Lu Yunhe learned the name of the third teammate of the Crimson Armor King, who was crowned a king. His name was "Shattered Sword," which was his nickname because his weapon was a sword assembled from fragments.

"War King, as you just saw, the sixty-sixth floor is no longer safe. Let's act together."

The Crimson Armor King's expression turned serious. Even the three of them, all titled kings, were not safe working together, let alone a single titled king acting alone.

"To those alien races, I'm probably the one who's insecure," Lu Yunhe thought to himself with a smirk.

“If the four of us join forces, we can consider going directly to the ‘Void Labyrinth.’ According to the investigations of many Kings, that should be a gathering place for the Divine Heart Clan,” said the Crimson Armor King.

"The Divine Heart Clan!"

Upon hearing this name, Lu Yunhe, who had originally intended to refuse outright, hesitated instantly. King-level immortals could be found anywhere, but if they could find the gathering place of the Divine Heart Clan, the wealth inside would far exceed that of a King-level immortal, starting at least at hundreds of billions of Chaos Units.

Although many immortal kings have gathered here, Lu Yunhe felt that he could still compete for the title based on his own combat power, which was at the limit of the king level.

As for the Chaos City Lord's second task, ten Kings or one peak King, it's something anyone can do, and a delay won't have a significant impact.
