Swallowing the Stars: Become Stronger by Taking on Disciples

Chapter 27 The Icewind Demon Cave! My name is Nie!

Virtual Universe, Giant Axe Temple

"Giant Axe, you're looking for me?" Gao Ya sat on a stone chair outside the temple, staring at the savage giant opposite him.

"Yes, I've discovered a peculiar place in the cosmic sea that might contain treasures, but there's a barrier inside that I can't break through alone. I'd like to invite you to come with me."

"The Cosmic Sea?" Gao Ya's blood boiled. Having cultivated to this point, aside from his willpower, his secret techniques and genes had reached their current peak. His strength was enough to rival a ninth-tier True God. It was indeed time for him to go out and explore.

"Okay, I'll go with you. When do we leave?"

"Are you ready? Let's set off immediately."

"good!"

Gao Ya left his clone behind to guard the Void Realm, and then followed the Giant Axe Founder through the Toya Black Hole into the Cosmic Sea.

"Walk through Natural Wormhole No. 15"

"Um"

The strange place the founder of the Giant Axe spoke of was the Icewind Demon Cave within the Inner Domain of the Peak-Swept Realm.

According to the ethnic records, the largest part of that place has a diameter of billions of light-years, and is perpetually filled with extremely cold air currents, freezing the space itself.

With the Giant Axe Founder leading him, each teleportation reaching millions of light-years, the two traversed the outer realms of the Inclined Peak Realm and arrived at the Icewind Demon Cave in just two days.

"We've arrived."

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~" Countless shattered ice blades swept haphazardly within at a hundred times the speed of light. The smallest ice blades were several light-years long, while the largest were hundreds of millions of light-years long. Each blade was as small as a cicada's wing, yet it possessed immense power. Even the Lord of the Universe would suffer considerable damage if he were to be struck by it.

In the distance, countless caves emitting eerie, multicolored lights could be vaguely seen; that was the so-called Demon Cave.

Each of these demonic caves is a self-contained microcosm, varying in size from several light-years to millions of light-years.

Moreover, these hellholes are constantly moving; you might enter at point A and exit at point B, C, D...

Every so often, new demonic caves and new opportunities appear here, attracting many of the strongest beings and top-tier universe masters to explore.

The founder of the giant axe took out a cube-shaped crystal, which occasionally trembled slightly.

"Is this the token of the Demon's Den?"

Each time a new demon cave appears, a token is generated and scattered somewhere outside the cave; a destined person will find it.

Only those who possess the token can quickly and accurately locate the ever-flowing demon's lair.

Of course, there are also those who get incredibly lucky.

If you encounter this situation, the only option is to fight it out in a small world to determine who owns the Demon Cave.

"Okay, let's go this way."

The Giant Axe Founder, still leading Gao Ya, unleashed a powerful attack that shattered the ice blades, and following the token's guidance, flew towards the Demon Cave at ten thousand times the speed of light.

"Isn't that a giant axe? And who's that next to him?" The Lord of the Deer and Insects of the Purple Moon Holy Land happened to pass by and saw the two hurrying along.

He immediately memorized this new face and instructed his divine avatar, located far away in the Holy Land, to begin investigating.

Anyone who can move alongside the giant axe must be a powerful individual. We must ascertain his identity as soon as possible to prepare a countermeasure.

"Giant Axe, it seems we've been discovered," Gao Ya said, noticing the passing Universe Lord.

"It's alright, he won't come," the Giant Axe Founder said dismissively, glancing at it.

"Hmm," Gao Ya nodded, actually he was just saying it casually.

Even a mere universe lord, with supreme treasures, wouldn't need to rush up and directly confront the giant axe. But a true god might be a different story.

Before long, guided by the token, the two arrived at the corresponding demon cave and rushed inside.

"Thump!" The two landed on the ground, and a light barrier connecting to the sky blocked their way.

Before the light curtain lay a colossal castle spanning hundreds of light-years, and within a radius of hundreds of light-years centered on the castle stretched an endless sea of ​​lotus-shaped flames.

"The Origin of Fire," Gao Ya thought to himself.

The fluctuations on the light screen might be unfamiliar to others, but to him they were all too familiar.

"This is the unbreakable barrier I was talking about," the Giant Axe Founder said, pointing to the light screen.

I'll give it a try.

The Giant Axe Founder watched as Gao Ya raised his hand to touch the light barrier, and secretly shook his head; it probably wouldn't work.

However, the next second, his pupils suddenly dilated.

"How did you do that?!"

Gao Ya's hand actually passed through the light barrier!

"Is it difficult?" Gao Ya's lips curled slightly upwards. He placed his other hand on the Giant Axe Founder, covering him with divine power. "Let's go."

With a "whoosh," the Giant Axe Founder felt no further obstruction after his body touched the light barrier; he smoothly melted into it and entered its interior.

"Boom!" As soon as Gao Ya entered, the surrounding space suddenly distorted, turning into a void filled with stardust!

The castle has vanished!

The original location has been transformed into an ancient stone tablet.

Before the stone tablet, a solitary figure sat cross-legged, exuding a sense of timelessness as solid as a rock.

"Where's the giant axe?" Gao Ya turned his head and saw that there was no one beside him.

As he searched for the giant axe, the figure quietly turned around.

Every line of his face seemed to have been meticulously sculpted by the most supreme deity, and it incorporated all the spiritual essence of "beauty" in the world. Any man who is handsome in the conventional sense would probably pale in comparison to this face.

The man smiled slightly, his voice carrying a hint of age and tranquility, a stark contrast to his appearance.

"Finally, someone has arrived."

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Nie. This is a video I left behind. No matter how you got in, as long as you were able to enter, it proves that you are qualified to receive my inheritance."

"It's a pity—" A trace of melancholy flashed in Nie's eyes, and he said in a low voice, "After that battle, my treasures and my place of inheritance were almost destroyed. There's not much left for you."

Four illusory figures appeared out of thin air in front of him.

A black stone

an axe

A battle knife

A castle

"This stone is the Stone of Memory, containing my secret techniques. The other three are the most powerful treasures I have collected, and they are all in the castle."

"These are what I've left for you; I hope they can help you."

As if having given his final words, he had no regrets and smiled calmly, "Then, it's time to say goodbye, my successor."

Before I leave, I'll give you a piece of advice: beware of the primordial origin of the universe. We were all destroyed because of it. Alas...

As he spoke, his figure became increasingly ethereal until he vanished.

"Be careful of what?" The rest of the sentence seemed to be automatically muted, and Gao Ya didn't hear a single word.

Before he could react, the entire void collapsed and disappeared in an instant.

A strong sense of weightlessness and spatial disorientation washed over Gao Ya, and he felt as if his vision was filled with wildly spinning blocks of color and light.

In an instant, his feet touched solid ground.

Familiar perceptions of the material world surged back like a tide.

The enormous castle reappeared before his eyes.

"What exactly should I be careful about..." Gao Ya murmured.

In the cosmic sea, some words cannot be spoken, such as "True God of the Void." Anything involving the True God of the Void or even more profound messages is simply impossible to utter.

Could it be that Nirvana was warning him to be wary of the Void God?

But the highest level that can operate in the cosmic sea right now is a true god, so where would a void true god come from?

"strangeness......."
