Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Then, Zetton examined its current condition. Its destructive power had almost completely dissipated, and even the boundary within its body was on the verge of collapse, since most of its destructive origins had been completely annihilated.

But as long as he's not dead, it's not a big problem.

As long as the person is still alive and the internal energy barrier remains intact, it will take some time for them to recover gradually, and it will not affect their ability to reach their peak.

Actually, there's an even simpler method, but after thinking about it, Zetton felt it wasn't necessary.

Once you enter the endless void, there is no up or down, no left or right, and even time and space become disordered, getting closer and closer to nothingness.

Without proper guidance, it's easy to get lost in the void.

However, there must be a reason why Zetton would appear here.

"Which direction should it be in!"

In the darkness, the Zetton Beast vaguely sensed a place that attracted it, somewhat similar to the feeling between the billion Beasts back then, only much more vague, but in the current environment, it was crystal clear.

Following its senses, Zetton slowly recovered its strength and headed towards its target.

I don’t know how much time passed, but we didn’t encounter any major dangers along the way. It was mostly just endless nothingness, and we just took a detour to avoid dangerous places.

In most places, the Beast King is not considered dangerous at all.

Soon, Zetton spotted a glowing lighthouse ahead, emitting invisible waves that drew it closer.

"Is it fishing? Or..."

"It doesn't matter," Zetton Beast guessed, "as an avatar, it's meant to shield us from disaster."

Then, Zetton cautiously approached the lighthouse ahead, but was quickly stopped by an invisible barrier.

The barrier is very strong; it probably can't even be broken by the attacks of an eternal true god.

However, when Zetton mobilized the destructive power within its body and touched this barrier, the lighthouse inside instantly burst forth with a blinding light. Then the barrier disappeared, and a figure slowly began to condense.

The figure was tall with fair skin, and its physique was perfect. It had two hands, two feet, a head, a mouth, two eyes, but no ears.

The most striking feature is the two snow-white, pointed horns on his forehead, curving upwards.

"really!"

The Zetton Beast understood that only another Beast could set up such a thing in this dimensional gap.

“My name is Lu, so I should be considered your… eh.” Just as Lu was about to say something, his expression suddenly became firm, and instantly the light completely solidified, and a world beast wearing black armor and holding a blood-red divine spear appeared in front of Zetton World Beast.

"Your injuries?"

The Beast Lu was astonished; only a Beast that had become a king could have come here.

However, the Beast King in front of them, although seemingly fine on the outside, actually looked like he had been beaten and his essence was depleted.

This is a bit outrageous; the upper limit of the three thousand dimensions has already been fixed.

unless……

“My name is Zetton, and the wounds on my body…” Zetton paused for a moment before speaking, “I encountered a rather special person who could actually wield the power of the primordial universe. I was no match for him and had to flee to the infinite void.”

"The power of the primordial universe!"

Realm Beast Lu understood. Even a peak Realm Beast had to be careful when dealing with the dominant Primordial Universe within the Dimensional Universe, let alone a Realm Beast that had just entered its growth stage.

"Unfortunately, it seems you can only seek revenge by going to the Origin Continent, or it depends on your luck."

The Beast of the Realm said regretfully, "Because of the aura of supreme rules in the endless void, it is very difficult to pinpoint one's location once one enters; it is basically a matter of chance."

This Destruction Power Positioning Tower was created at great cost by their World Beast Clan; it's impossible for it to have eyes in the three thousand dimensions.

Moreover, in addition to the universe dimension it originated from, it will enjoy the same treatment as invaders when traveling to other dimensional universes, and the original universe can also take action.

Therefore, the cosmic sea that it generates is also very important to the Beast King, as a portion of the original cosmic origin can help it pass through the initial stage as quickly as possible.

“Jetton, judging from your expression, you should understand my identity now. I am a World Beast born from another cosmic dimension,” World Beast Lu said slowly.

"Within the endless universe of three thousand dimensions, the supreme rules could not possibly give birth to only one Beast King."

Zetton had anticipated this, but it never expected to encounter another Beast so soon after leaving the Cosmic Sea.

Moreover, it seems to have passed its growth stage and has even joined forces with other Realm Beasts. It is also attracting other Realm Beasts to become kings.

A group of Beast Kings gathered together—just thinking about it creates an extremely terrifying force. Even the Liuzhong Sect at its peak would probably be wiped out.

"Haha, the supreme rules naturally cannot only nurture one. After all, the three thousand dimensions are too vast. It would be meaningless to achieve the goal with only one World Beast King."

Although the Beast Slaughter was incredibly powerful, it clearly regarded Zetton as an equal.

After all, both are kings of the Beast Realm and understand their own potential; they just lack the time to accumulate it.

Seeing the newborn Beast again, Beast Slaughter was also very happy, but out of caution, he did not reveal too much information for the time being.

"We are all world beasts, so we naturally need to help each other. Otherwise, even if we are powerful, we are no match for the combined forces of the primordial life forms."

The Beast Lord said solemnly, “The so-called primordial life naturally refers to those life forms that were born in the primordial universe.”

"understand!"

Zetton nodded. Upon seeing these Beasts, he considered them his good brothers and was determined to join them.

"Okay, but to join us, you'll need to pass a test."

The Beast's expression also changed, and a suffocating atmosphere instantly spread.

"test!"

Zetton frowned. As a king, who, besides the supreme rules, was qualified to test him?

However, for the sake of the future of primitive life, he was not unwilling to make a sacrifice.

"it is good!"

"I'm curious to see what tricks these beasts will pull," said the Zetton Beast in a cold voice.

“As long as you pass the test, Zetton, I will personally apologize to you.” World Beast Lu nodded: “All you need to do is touch that Soul Tower.”

"So simple!"

Zetton was a little confused, but since it had agreed, there was nothing to question.

Then, Zetton walked directly to the Soul Tower. Under the light, he felt that the injuries to his soul had healed considerably.

Without hesitation, the Zetton Beast reached out and touched the Soul Tower directly. Its fingers passed through the light and seemed to touch something.

The next moment, an invisible force rushed directly towards the soul of Zetton.

"Damn it!"

Enraged, the Zetton Beast felt a sharp pain in its soul, a soul attack, more importantly, one that leaned towards soul enslavement.

Although Lu Yunhe disliked soul enslavement, he had studied many of the inherited secret techniques of soul enslavement.

"Could it be that this world beast king is also enslaved by a human soul?"

Zetton thought of it, but before it could react, the soul attack came and went quickly, and it was never fully unleashed.

"it is good!"

On the other side, the Beast Lu, observing the changes in the Soul Tower, also revealed a friendly smile.

“Zetton, I apologize to you and will offer you sufficient compensation. However, on behalf of the entire Beast Clan, I also welcome you to join us.”

The Beast Slaughter spoke up, then quickly explained, "Before you, one of our kin was enslaved by a primordial life form, which is why this trial exists."

"I will never acknowledge anyone who has been enslaved by a soul as one of us. We must find a way to kill them." The Beast Slaughterer's expression was filled with resentment.

"I see!"

The Zetton Beast's expression softened considerably, and it instantly guessed who the enslaved Beast was—the Beast enslaved by the Purple Wood God King.

"To be a king of the Beast Realm and be enslaved by a soul is truly humiliating."

Zetton, equally indignant, said that it was fortunate that it was not enslaved by a soul, but evolved on its own, and was a completely new version that the Zetton race had never seen before.

"And this Soul Tower is something we created at a huge cost. On one hand, it can guide newly born World Beasts to arrive, and on the other hand, it can detect whether they have been enslaved by their souls," World Beast Lu said.

There are no invincible secret techniques, only invincible people.

While soul enslavement is defying the heavens, finding some ways to detect it is not impossible for these terrifying world beasts.

Within the microcosm, whether one is enslaved by an immortal god is immediately apparent.

However, breaking free from soul enslavement is another matter entirely.

“Zetton, now that you have passed the monitoring, I will take you to the true headquarters of our Beast Clan,” said the avatar of the Beast Slaughter.

For safety reasons, it's impossible to place this guidance tower in the base camp. Who knows what state the newly born world beast will be in?

"Ok!"

Zetton nodded, feeling a sense of anticipation and curiosity about where the Realm Beasts' main base was.

"follow me!"

With a wave of his hand, the Beast Lu enveloped the two of them in a ball of light, which then flew into the depths of the endless void.

"Lu, have you dealt with that enslaved Beast?" the Zetton Beast asked with concern.

"This……"

The Beast Slaughter's expression instantly turned awkward. He had been speaking with great indignation, but the reality was quite different.

"That enslaved creature has also reached its peak, and the being that enslaved it is no less powerful than us at our peak."

"The Beast Slaughter of the Realm said somewhat awkwardly."

"Lu, including me, how many World Beasts are there in total?" Zetton World Beast asked directly.

"Including that enslaved fellow, there are a total of ten kings."

After thinking for a moment, Beast Slaughter spoke up directly: "However, this is not a matter of strength."

"Nine Beast Kings!"

The Zetton Beast was surprised by the number. Not counting itself, nine powerful God-Kings were indeed difficult to deal with, but still within acceptable limits. At least the number of God-Kings in the Origin Continent far exceeded this.

"It seems that the birth of a World Beast King is indeed very difficult. Over so many eras, there have only been about ten, and some died early on," the Zetton World Beast thought to itself.

Seemingly in an attempt to salvage his dignity, Beast Slaughter continued, "If it's just about killing that enslaved fellow, it won't be difficult for us."

"But the difficulty lies in killing both of them silently without revealing our information."
