Swallowing the Stars: Becoming a God Starting with a Hundred Generations of Talent

Xu Yao unfolded the animal skin map.

The map was crudely drawn, with simple lines outlining the direction of the mountains and wastelands, and three areas marked in red ink.

"Let's go to the nearest point first," Xu Yao said in a deep voice, pointing to a red dot on the map.

"Okay." Raymond and Ling Xue both nodded.

Lu Yun had no objections.

Having identified their direction, the four began to venture deeper into the secret realm.

The further you go in, the hotter the air becomes.

The cracked red earth beneath my feet resembled a giant oven, constantly emitting heat that distorted my vision.

The surrounding plants became sparser, but each one appeared incredibly resilient, its branches and leaves displaying a dark metallic luster as it tenaciously took root in the crevices of the rocks.

Sudden.

Rumbling--

A deep rumble came from a great distance.

The four of them immediately stopped and looked warily in the direction from which the sound came.

In the distance, on the horizon, a majestic volcano suddenly erupted!

A towering column of black smoke, like the giant hand of a demon god, pierced the dark sky. Scalding red lava, like a celestial river bursting its banks, surged down the mountainside, staining half the sky crimson.

The entire earth began to tremble slightly under this powerful force.

call out!call out!call out!

In the sky, several huge black shadows streaked across at an astonishing speed, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound.

"It's the 'Red-winged Eagle'!" Raymond looked up and his expression changed slightly.

That was a flying monster of the Hengxing level, known for its speed and sharp claws.

At this moment, these normally ferocious beasts were like startled rabbits, frantically flapping their wings and fleeing in panic from the direction of the volcanic eruption.

It's not just them.

Within their line of sight, several other adventurer teams also stopped, each with a look of fear on their face.

"The volcano has erupted; this could be a real problem." An adventurer gazed at the distant natural disaster, his voice hoarse.

His companion, pale-faced, shouted, "Oh no! The volcano has erupted! Those 'lava beasts' underground are definitely going to riot! The horde is coming! Quick, find somewhere to hide!"

The moment those words were spoken, the atmosphere around them instantly became extremely tense.

Xu Yao's expression also turned serious.

He quickly surveyed the surrounding terrain, then decisively pointed to the left.

"There's a canyon over there, a very dangerous place. Let's go there and take shelter for a while!"

"Walk!"

Without further hesitation, the four transformed into four streaks of light and rushed rapidly toward the canyon.

The four of them moved extremely fast.

They were like four black lightning bolts, swiftly flashing across the rugged ground.

Soon, they rushed into the canyon that Xu Yao had mentioned.

The canyon is very narrow, with high and steep stone walls on both sides, as if cut by a knife.

This is indeed a great place to hide.

As soon as the four of them got a foothold, they found a rock that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The earth shook more and more violently.

Immediately afterwards, a dozen or so more people rushed in from the mouth of the canyon in a disheveled state.

They were divided into several small groups of three to five people each.

These people had a wide variety of equipment and varying auras, most of them being between the fifth and eighth ranks of the Hengxing level.

They were all stunned when they saw Lu Yun and his group of four.

Then, they all consciously distanced themselves from Lu Yun and his group of four, each finding a place to hide.

Outside the canyon.

"roar--!!!"

"hold head high--!!!"

The roars of countless monstrous beasts merged into a terrifying torrent, making people's ears tingle.

The entire canyon was shaking, and loose rocks kept falling from the stone walls.

Everyone held their breath, not daring to even breathe loudly.

They could sense a devastating horde of beasts charging wildly from outside the canyon.

Even a cosmic-level powerhouse would have to give way to a beast horde of this size.

If these celestial beings were to get involved, they wouldn't even make a ripple; they would be torn to shreds in an instant.

This process lasted for about ten minutes.

Then, the vibrations and roars gradually subsided and finally disappeared into the distance.

The herd of animals has passed.

The canyon fell silent all at once.

However, the atmosphere only became more tense and strange.

Everyone was on high alert.

They looked at each other, their hands instinctively resting on their weapons.

Most of the adventurers' gazes fell on Lu Yun and his group of four.

Their eyes held wariness and apprehension, but not much fear.

After all, there were only four of them, including Lu Yun.

These adventurers numbered nearly twenty in total.

There are many of them.

"These four people have a strong aura; they're not to be trifled with," a man with a scar on his face whispered to the person next to him.

"Yes, you can tell by their battle suits." His companion nodded.

"What are you afraid of?" another burly man with a face full of scars sneered. "They may look tough, but there are only four of them."

With so many of us, if we really started fighting, it's hard to say who would come out on top.

Although he spoke very softly, everyone present was a Star-level expert, so they could all hear him.

The atmosphere in the canyon instantly became even more somber.

Xu Yao's cold gaze swept over the adventurers with ill intentions, a hint of disdain appearing at the corner of his mouth.

These rogue soldiers who licked blood from the edge of a knife, the strongest of whom was only at the eighth level of the Hengxing realm, were no different from ants in his eyes.

However, finding the 'Heavenly Fire Stone' is the top priority right now.

"I'm gone."

Xu Yao uttered two words indifferently, no longer glancing at those people.

He turned around and took the lead into the depths of the canyon.

Raymond, Ling Xue, and Lu Yun immediately followed.

The four of them then completely exposed their backs to the nearly twenty adventurers. Their composure and confidence extinguished the last bit of greed in the hearts of those adventurers who were already wary.

They watched the four figures disappear into the distance, but ultimately didn't dare to make a move.

……

After passing through the narrow canyon, the view suddenly opened up before us.

A vast, red plain appeared before the four of them.

The heatwave here is even more intense, the air is more distorted, and distant objects become blurred.

The four of them consulted the animal hide map, identified a direction, and continued onward.

They explored for another half hour.

They crossed a low, rocky hill.

Suddenly, a series of panicked shouts and the roar of energy explosions came from not far ahead.

The four of them paused and looked up at the same time.

On the other side of the plain, a dozen figures were fleeing desperately in their direction, looking extremely disheveled.

It was the same group of adventurers they had encountered in the canyon earlier.

"Help!"

"Run!"

They ran, shouting desperately, their faces filled with terror.

Behind them, more than thirty figures were chasing after them.

They were a group of warriors wearing all sorts of tattered armor, with ferocious faces, and exuding a strong stench of blood and murderous aura.

He's obviously not a good person.

Space pirates!

Leading the pursuit was a tall, burly, bald man carrying a giant battle axe.

The energy fluctuations emanating from him far exceeded the range of the Hengxing level, and the powerful sense of oppression could be clearly felt even from a great distance.

"Cosmic-level, first tier." Xu Yao's pupils contracted slightly.

Behind that cosmic-level bandit were more than thirty Heng-level subordinates, each exuding a fierce aura, grinning as they chased after the fleeing adventurers.

Those adventurers who were fleeing for their lives also saw Lu Yun and his three companions standing on the rocky mountain.

Their faces lit up with joy at first.

Then came an even deeper despair.

Even if there are four more people, what's the use?

On the other side, there's a team led by a cosmic-level powerhouse!

The pursuing bandits also discovered Lu Yun and his group of four.

A level nine bandit with a scar on his face licked his lips and grinned maliciously.

He shouted at the bald, burly man at the front, "Boss, look! There are four more ahead, and they look even fatter!"

"Haha, what great luck today!" another robber laughed along. "They're coming one after another!"

The bald, burly man carrying the giant axe also glanced over.

His gaze lingered on Lu Yun and the other three for a moment.

"Um?"

He frowned slightly.

These four little guys are all wearing the same uniform.

Moreover, they remained very calm.

They weren't afraid of these vicious bandits at all.

This is not normal.

"Boss, what's wrong?" The scarred bandit next to him noticed his leader's hesitation and asked.

The bald, burly man did not answer immediately.

His gaze swept over Xu Yao and Ling Xue, finally settling on Lu Yun.

These four people are all at the ninth level of the Hengxing level.

He's quite strong; he must be an elite disciple from some powerful organization who's out here for training.

However, it's only somewhat interesting.

He's cosmic level.

On the other side, the strongest was only a ninth-tier Hengxing.

A difference of a great realm is an insurmountable chasm.

Even if you're a genius, it's useless.

Thinking of this, the bald, muscular man's lips curled into a cruel smile.

He brandished the giant axe in his hand at his men.

"Ignore them for now. Slaughter all these small fry! Leave no one alive!"

"Yes, boss!"

More than thirty bandits responded with a roar, their smiles becoming even more ferocious, and they increased their pursuit speed.

Just then.

Ling Xue's cold voice rang out.

"I'll do it."

"Haha, I'm itching for a fight too!" Raymond grinned, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit. He had long disliked this group of lawless bandits.

Before the words were even finished, the two of them had already moved.

They charged fiercely towards the thirty-odd interstellar pirates, one on the left and one on the right!

"boom!"

Raymond took the lead, his personality already explosive and fiery, and now he was even more eager to fight.

With a loud shout, blinding purple lightning suddenly erupted from his body!

Lightning Realm, Triple!

The heavy battle sword in his hand was completely enveloped in purple lightning.

"Die, you scum!"

Ling Xue's figure appeared and disappeared amidst the raging lightning, and a layer of misty water vapor silently spread out from her center.

The Water Realm, Triple!

The mist appeared gentle, unlike the powerful thunder and lightning, yet it contained a more eerie and deadly killing intent.

"Pfft!" "Ah!"

The bandits, who had been so aggressive and grinning, were instantly thrown into disarray.

The fleeing adventurers stared wide-eyed, their mouths agape, their faces filled with disbelief.

After a brief silence, an overwhelming surge of ecstasy erupted!

"A master! A top-tier master!" An adventurer exclaimed, his voice trembling with excitement.

"Oh my god! We're saved! We're saved!" Another survivor burst into tears of joy and collapsed to the ground.

They realized that the two who suddenly made their move were far stronger than they had imagined!

On the other side...

The bandits were in complete uproar.

"Ah! I can't move my body!"

"It's a domain!!" A more knowledgeable bandit screamed in extreme terror.

"A domain? Impossible! How could a star-level being possibly comprehend a domain?!"

"It's a Domain Level 3! My God, it's a Domain Level 3!!"

...
