Swallowing the Stars, I am the Lord of the Galaxy

Page 113

With a delicate laugh, the Purple Soul Venerable waved her jade hand, and the surrounding Zerg warriors retreated several miles.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm here to... find you two to collaborate with."

"cooperate?"

Xingchen sneered.

"When did the Zerg start cooperating with humans?"

The Purple Soul Venerable remained unperturbed, her purple gauze skirt fluttering even without wind: "The Gray Blade Venerable seems to have some misunderstanding about our race. When the benefits are great enough, there are no permanent enemies, are there?"

"You two should have both sensed that fluctuation just now, right?"

With a light tap of her jade-like finger, a purple light curtain unfolded in the void, revealing the golden planet that was descending from the depths of the secret realm.

As the slender fingers of the Purple Soul Venerable gently traced across the void, the image of the golden planet within the purple light screen became increasingly clear.

Her red lips parted slightly, her voice as sweet as honey: "If my clan's records are correct, this golden planet should be a treasure trove left behind by a powerful civilization in the previous cycle of reincarnation."

A glint of greed flashed in her purple eyes.

"And they're the kind that's perfectly preserved."

Xingchen and Qingming exchanged a silent glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes. A treasure trove left over from the era of reincarnation? This was an opportunity that was extremely rare and hard to come by in the universe.

"interesting."

Xingchen's eyes narrowed slightly.

"But why is Venerable Purple Soul so certain?"

Venerable Zihun covered his mouth and chuckled: "We won't talk about how we know this; our clan has its own sources of information."

Her purple gauze dress moved without any wind.

"However, I can tell you two that, according to the detection, there are at least two treasures in this vault, and their quality is definitely no lower than that of the spear treasure you just obtained."

Venerable Qingming frowned slightly and transmitted his voice, "Master, she even knows this."

Xingchen silently replied, "It's alright, let's continue listening to her."

The Purple Soul Venerable seemed quite satisfied with their reaction and continued, "There are thirty-six guardian puppets surrounding the treasure vault, each with the combat power of a high-level Venerable. What's more troublesome is that they can form a battle formation, which can even briefly contend with a cosmic overlord."

Her purple eyes darted towards the stars: "Therefore, I hope to cooperate with the two of you. The treasures will be distributed accordingly, how about it?"

Xingchen remained silent for a moment, then gently tapped the hilt of his sword with his fingers: "Cooperation is possible."

He raised his head.

"But the allocation ratio needs to be agreed upon first."

A hint of displeasure flashed in Venerable Purple Soul's eyes, but he quickly regained his smile: "Venerable Gray Blade is indeed cautious. How about this, we three share it equally?"

"Three parties?"

The Azure Nether Venerable sneered and pointed at the surrounding Zerg warriors.

"Don't you consider these your combat strength?"

The Purple Soul Venerable's purple eyes flickered slightly: "Azure Nether Venerable is joking. These children are just guards and will not participate in the distribution. They naturally belong to the other members of the Zerg Alliance."

Xingchen suddenly smiled: "Venerable Zihun, we are all sensible people."

He held up a finger.

"One condition: First, I must choose at least one supreme treasure. I can do without any minor treasures. If there are more, then we can naturally renegotiate. Second, if you attack me, the agreement is void."

Purple Soul Venerable's expression darkened: "Gray Blade Venerable, aren't these conditions a bit too high!"

"high?"

Xingchen slowly and deliberately rotated his battle blade.

"I bet you'll have a hard time opening this treasure vault. After all, this secret realm isn't just for your Zerg. If we were to help other factions..."

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

"Or... did you intend to use these Zerg warriors to ambush us at a crucial moment?"

The atmosphere froze instantly. The purple aura surrounding Venerable Purple Soul fluctuated violently, revealing her inner turmoil.

After a long while, she suddenly smiled and said, "Greyblade Venerable is indeed a man of few words."

With a gentle wave of her hand, more than twenty Zerg warriors transformed into streams of light and disappeared into her world ring.

"I can agree to your conditions, but there's a condition."

"explain."

"If there are any Zerg heritage or treasures in the vault, they must belong to me."

The Purple Soul Venerable gazed directly at the stars with his purple eyes.

"That's the bottom line."

Xingchen pretended to think for a moment, then slowly nodded: "Okay. But I want to add one condition: all discoveries made during the exploration must be shared and must not be concealed."

"Deal~"

Venerable Purple Soul smiled and extended her slender hand.

"So, happy working together?"

The stars reached out.

"make a deal."

The group then left and headed towards the location where the treasure vault had emerged.

As Xingchen and the others sped toward the golden planet, the entire secret realm was abuzz with excitement over the emergence of the treasure vault.

From all directions, streaks of light pierced the void, and powerful figures from various factions gathered frantically.

Chapter 120 Treasure Vault Opens

"Master, the situation is more complicated than expected."

"Immortal Azure Netherworld transmitted his voice, his gaze sweeping over several powerful auras approaching from afar."

Starry Sky nodded slightly, and the Wings of Dark Universe flapped gently behind him: "It's alright, it should be the Venerable One from the Zerg Alliance who has arrived."

The Purple Soul Venerable's purple gauze dress fluttered in the wind, her face still bearing a charming smile, but a hint of solemnity flashed in her eyes.

She transmitted her voice to the four Venerables of the Zerg Alliance: "Act according to the situation later. Those two Venerables are quite powerful, so don't make any rash moves for now."

The four Venerables of the Zerg Alliance respectfully accepted the order. Although they were also Venerables, they appeared exceptionally humble before Zi Hun.

Xingchen glanced at the few Venerables, curled his lip in disdain, and said, "One is of medium level, and three are of low level. They are really weak."

If given a little time, he could take down all of these Venerable Ones by himself.

One of the venerable ones, who resembled a mantis and was entirely green, whispered, "Lord Purple Soul, the human race has gained too much of an advantage this time."

"It doesn't matter."

The Purple Soul Venerable parted his red lips slightly.

"The secret realm is in a state of chaos right now. Although they are strong, they are also easily attacked by a group of people."

Just then, space in the distance suddenly distorted, and five figures walked through the air.

The leader was a venerable one, surrounded by a pale blue aura. With each step he took, mysterious spatial and temporal patterns would appear beneath his feet.

"Wind Spirit Venerable!"

The Purple Soul Venerable's pupils contracted slightly, and his voice carried a hint of apprehension.

Xingchen's gaze sharpened, and he immediately recognized this renowned powerhouse from the Virtual Universe Company. The Wind Spirit Venerable was said to have already touched the threshold of becoming a cosmic overlord, possessing terrifying attainments in the laws of spacetime.

"Haha, it seems we've arrived just in time!"

A burst of wild laughter rang out, and three enormous figures appeared on the horizon. The leader, the Heavenly Wolf Clan Venerable, was entirely silver-white, with a terrifying golden vertical pupil on his forehead.

Beside him stood two Golden Scale Clan Venerables, like moving golden mountains, their single horns flashing with a dangerous light.

"Demon Clan Alliance".

The Azure Nether Venerable's voice was deep.

Xingchen secretly assessed the combat strength of each side. On the demon race's side, the three Venerables of the Sirius Clan were all of above-average level, but the two Venerables of the Golden Scale Clan were indeed not to be underestimated.

"boom--"

The space trembled once more, and two towering figures descended. One was engulfed in crimson flames, while the other was covered in ice; they were none other than Venerable Flame Star and Venerable Profound Ice from the Ancestral God Sect. Behind them, Venerable Shadow Blade appeared like a ghost, while Venerable Crystal Heart radiated a dreamlike seven-colored light.

"The Ancestral God Cult has also arrived."

The Purple Soul Venerable's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously looked at the stars.

Xingchen's expression remained unchanged, but his mind was already racing with calculations.

Among the four Venerables of the Ancestral God Sect, Yan Xing and Xuan Bing are both high-level Venerables, especially with their enormous divine bodies, which give them a huge advantage in a prolonged battle. The Shadow Blade Venerable is elusive, while the Crystal Heart Venerable excels in defense; neither of them are easy to deal with.

Finally, an alliance of eight weak races arrived. Although each individual race was not strong, the combined power of the eight Venerables was a force to be reckoned with.

In an instant, powerful figures gathered in the void, and all forces were on guard against each other, creating a tense atmosphere.

"Wow, today is really lively."

The Sirius Clan Venerable grinned, his golden vertical pupils sweeping across the entire arena.

"However, shouldn't some forces voluntarily withdraw?"

He glanced meaningfully at the alliance of the weaker races.

"Humph!"

A venerable figure resembling a tree-man in the weak alliance snorted coldly.

"Shadow Annihilation, your demon race is far too domineering!"

"overbearing?"

The Golden Scale Clan Venerable let out a low laugh, the sound like the friction of metal.

"The weak should be aware of their own weakness."
