Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 38

Looking at the two naked cosmic-level corpses, Lu Yunhe couldn't help but shake his head. It seemed Huang Mo was indeed quite strong, having taken down two cosmic-level beings in such a short time. After all, he dared to participate in the mercenary assessment; he must have some skill.

Bang!

Lu Yunhe then launched two attacks, causing the two cosmic-level corpses to sink underground. After all, there was no need for them to end up dead in the wilderness after meeting.

Just as Lu Yunhe was about to leave, a Class C spaceship landed nearby. However, the examiners inside, seeing that Lu Yunhe showed no signs of combat, guessed what had happened and left without wanting to waste any more time.

"They walk so fast!"

Lu Yunhe was somewhat disappointed that he couldn't earn extra money, but after using illusion magic to control some slaves in the base and failing to obtain any useful information, he quickly returned to the spaceship and began heading to his next destination.

As time passed, people gradually discovered the Thirteen Thieves' base. Some joined forces to kill one of their targets, while many other examinees died at the hands of their targets.

Even if hundreds of cosmic-level personnel participate in the mission, they can easily be defeated one by one after being separated, but the severity is far less than that of the trainee mercenary assessment.

……

"What a shame!"

The fourth great thief drew his bow with a look of regret, and before him stood his leader, Huang Mo, who had not died at the hands of the enemy, but rather at the hands of his own people.

However, the fourth thief did not ask why before he died, because if he could, he would also like to do so.

"Leave it for your next life to regret!" Huang Mo said expressionlessly, without a trace of emotion. These people were originally breeding boars he had cultivated, but unfortunately, he couldn't harvest them all now.

After killing the fourth brother, Huang Mo began looting the corpse, taking some valuable treasures before heading to the location of his next brother.

"What a spectacle of infighting!"

Just as Huang Mo was about to leave, Lu Yunhe, who had rushed over, blocked his way. After discovering that the pirate leader had escaped, Lu Yunhe had chosen the nearest target, guessing that Huang Mo would also target the closest person.

Based on the information he gleaned from Hei Mu, Lu Yunhe was also very interested in this pirate leader, simply because he was undoubtedly richer.

"Hmph, another one sent to their death!"

Huang Mo looked at Lu Yunhe, who was blocking his way, and without wasting any time, he raised his scimitar and charged forward, giving the other side no time to prepare.

"A Tier 3 Supreme Weapon!"

Lu Yunhe looked at the weapon Huang Mo was using with slight surprise. At the same time, a wisp of wind seemed to have already arrived in front of him.

Huang Mo unleashed his third-tier weapon to its fullest potential, simultaneously releasing eighth-tier cosmic-level power in an attempt to overwhelm the opponent. After all, a third-tier cosmic-level opponent would naturally feel inferior to an eighth-tier cosmic-level opponent.

"Wind Slash!"

With forty-eight times the power, the Wind Domain, and the strength of an eighth-level cosmic entity, Huang Mo believed that no cosmic entity could withstand his strike.

clang!

However, to Huang Mo's incredulous gaze, a curved blade blocked his Wind Slash, easily deflecting his attack.

"field!"

Feeling the familiar suppressive force around him, Huang Mo instantly realized it was the power of a domain, but why was it appearing on a third-tier cosmic-level being, and...

"I also know a little bit about the Wind Domain!"

Lu Yunhe was somewhat surprised to sense the power of the wind domain emanating from Huang Mo. This was the first universe-level being with a domain that he had encountered in the real universe.

This only made Lu Yunhe even more curious: why did Huang Mo become a space pirate? After all, a domain is one of the thresholds for breaking through to the Domain Lord level.

Once you comprehend a domain, your strength and status will be completely different from other universe-level beings.

"You've actually mastered the Wind Domain too!"

After exchanging a single blow, Huang Mo instantly became wary. Anyone who could comprehend a domain at the third level of the universe level must be one of the core members of some force and should not be underestimated.

However, there was one thing that puzzled Huang Mo: even if the opponent had comprehended the domain, the basic power between the third and eighth levels of the universe was still there. How did the opponent manage to withstand his full-force attack?

"A genius?!"

Although he suffered a setback, Huang Mo's mood was not greatly affected, because time was of the essence and he didn't have much time left.

After all, if Lu Yunhe spends too much time on him, not only will it be difficult for him to continue to take down other brothers, but he will also be easily stopped by other intruders.

"We must end this battle as soon as possible!"

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but Huang Mo's knife remained unwavering, revealing boundless resolve.

"genius?"

Upon hearing Huang Mo's words, Lu Yunhe smiled slowly, deciding to give this ordinary universe-level genius a small shock.

Buzz!

Just as Huang Mo raised his weapon, a gust of wind pierced through time and struck his body, sending him flying backward and crashing into the base behind him.

"?"

The Yellow Demon, who had been sent flying, was somewhat bewildered. What had just happened? With his cosmic-level consciousness, he couldn't even see the opponent's attack.

If a domain is one of the conditions for entering the Domain Lord level, then comprehending the fundamental laws is one of the conditions for entering the Realm Lord level.

"With the combination of the Wind Domain and the fundamental law of time, even ordinary universe-level beings can't react in time!"

In the attack just now, Lu Yunhe only added a little bit of the Time Origin Law, but it was still not something that this cosmic-level being who had just comprehended the domain could withstand.

Lu Yunhe had already estimated the power, just enough to cripple the opponent, but Huang Mo was still able to stand up, obviously there was something else besides the Force suit he was wearing.

call out!

A vine emerged from the Yellow Demon's clothes, clearly indicating that this plant had blocked most of the attacks for him.

"If it weren't for the Moyun Vine, just now... just now..."

Huang Mo was shocked to see Mo Yun Teng looking somewhat weak after blocking part of the attack for him, completely bewildered by what the attack had just been.

Having comprehended a domain at the mid-level of the cosmic realm, Huang Mo was actually quite confident in his talent. Given time, he believed he could become a powerful domain lord.

But now, Huang Mo felt a sense of despair. Why would such a legendary genius appear here?

"The Cloud-Piercing Vine!"

Lu Yunhe recognized the plant life on Huang Mo's body. In the early stages, he had also thought about cultivating a few plant life forms, but he gave up after obtaining the Divine Tree clone.

There must still be a chance!

Although he was blasted apart in one blow, Huang Mo did not give up completely and began to consider a roundabout way to achieve his goal. However, just as he got up, a large tree full of vitality suddenly rose from beneath his feet.

Huang Mo tried to escape, but another attack came from a distance and hit him. Then, he was tied up by branches from the tree and dragged back into the trunk, with only his cheek showing.

"Another person has been acquired!"

Lu Yunhe came to the big tree, and the once vibrant tree instantly began to wither, leaving only a wooden cocoon-like object and the Yellow Demon wrapped inside.

"As expected of the leader of the Thirteen Thieves, he actually managed to get me to use two of his moves."

Lu Yunhe quickly returned to the spaceship with Huang Mo and then left the asteroid. A short while later, the other examinees also found the asteroid, their eyes filled with resentment as they looked at the dead space pirates.

"Let me see what makes a cosmic-level powerhouse who has comprehended a domain choose to become a space pirate."

Seemingly due to the nature of the domain, Lu Yunhe couldn't make Huang Mo obey with just a glare, so he chose to maximize the output power of the Rinne Sharingan, preparing to personally construct an illusionary world for Huang Mo.

After all, Lu Yunhe has never used the illusionary abilities of the Divine Tree clone to its full potential.

"As my first test subject, I hope you can provide accurate user feedback!"

Huang Mo's black eyes reflected the same tomoe Rinnegan as Lu Yunhe's, and his consciousness was completely immersed in another world.

……

"Boss, you're so... ruthless!"

On an asteroid in the Shattered Star Belt, twelve space pirates and a group of star-level slaves perished, and the one who did it was none other than the leader of the Thirteen Thieves—Yellow Demon.

"You were too greedy!" Huang Mo slaughtered the other pirates expressionlessly, and the Cloud Vine he cultivated was also killing them. Soon, all the pirates were wiped out.

"I have already cultivated to the ninth level of the Universe level. It's time to prepare to break through to the Domain Lord level!"

During his time as a space pirate, Huang Mo successfully cultivated to the ninth level of the cosmic level, and even cultivated Mo Yun Teng to the fifth level of the cosmic level. With the two working together, they easily wiped out other pirates and collected a large amount of resources.

Huang Mo became a space pirate for the purpose of cultivation. Now that he has achieved his goal, there is no need for him to stay here any longer.

After cleaning up the traces, Huang Mo boarded a spaceship and left the Shattered Star Belt, heading to the Cook Universe Kingdom next to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire to start a new life.

With his domain as a foundation, Huang Mo successfully broke through to the Domain Lord level after spending 2000 years.

"Finally, I've broken through to the Domain Lord level."

Huang Mo was somewhat excited, and the first thing he did after breaking through was to head to the place that had changed his life.

Excited, the Yellow Demon spent some time before arriving on a planet in a star system within the Cook Empire. Only a few thousand years had passed, yet the environment remained barren.

"Open up, Lord World!"

With a flushed face, Huang Mo arrived at the place he had been terrified of. Then, he vanished from the planet and reappeared in another space.

In a flash, the Yellow Demon found himself in a somewhat dark environment, the gravity being thousands of times stronger than before, indicating that this was not the asteroid he had come from.

World Lord!

The world, constructed directly from the primordial energy of the universe, makes every blade of grass and every tree far superior to those on other planets. Even a star-level environment within it would be dangerous.

Upon arriving in this space once again, the Yellow Demon swiftly flew towards the center of the world. With the strength of a Domain Lord, he quickly reached his destination, where an incomparably magnificent palace stood.

“It’s still there!”

Overjoyed, the Yellow Demon charged forward, and his actions seemed to trigger the palace's defense mechanism, unleashing a barrage of attacks powerful enough to easily kill a cosmic-level intruder.

These attacks would be almost certain death for a cosmic-level being, but they were still within the tolerance range for a domain lord-level Yellow Demon. He quickly broke through the palace's attack blockade and stood in front of the palace gate.

click!

Huang Mo excitedly pushed open the palace gates, his mind already filled with fantasies about his future life.

……

"World Lord's World!"

In the asteroid belt, the Black Dragon spaceship, which was heading to its next destination, suddenly slowed down and stopped next to a meteorite.
