514: The Fall of the God King

Without the slightest hesitation, Fritz knew the principle of 'opportunity knocks but once' and instantly bared his sharp fangs at Lin Tianwei.

This Cosmic Beast, which even a God-King couldn't defeat, had fallen into his hands—it was an incredibly satisfying turn of events.

So, Fritz, mimicking Lin Tianwei, also opened his mouth wide.

Fritz's mouth grew rapidly, quickly reaching a size even larger than Lin Tianwei's body.

He suddenly lunged forward, intending to emulate Lin Tianwei by directly devouring his enemy as food.

And Lin Tianwei, as Fritz had anticipated, appeared flustered and utterly incapable of resistance.

However, just as Fritz reached the peak of his smug satisfaction, believing he was about to devour Lin Tianwei, a sharp gleam flashed in Lin Tianwei's eyes.

The next moment, Fritz found himself no longer in the familiar world but in another space, and his expression instantly changed drastically.

Fritz was knowledgeable and experienced; how could he not recognize the true nature of this space?

This was precisely the body space belonging to a Universe Master; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it Lin Tianwei's stomach.

Fritz probably never imagined that the moment he opened his mouth widest, attempting to devour Lin Tianwei, would be the very moment Lin Tianwei bared his fangs.

Astonishment, terror, bewilderment, disbelief... the instant he realized his predicament, Fritz's expression was incredibly vivid, like a blossoming flower.

He railed frantically within Lin Tianwei's stomach, proclaiming his identity, boasting of his strength,

all to beg Lin Tianwei to spare his life and let him continue to live.

Unfortunately, Lin Tianwei had no time to bother with Fritz's clamoring; he had already swiftly departed the area after devouring him.

This place is not suitable for long stays; I need to find a safer location quickly... In the distant and unknown void, a fierce chase was unfolding.

The two parties in this chase were clearly distinct: Blazing Sky God-King and the Star Devouring Behemoth.

Blazing Sky God-King, after all, was a God-King of many years' renown; whether he was strong or not, his ability to escape and preserve his life was extremely potent. This could be seen from his choice to flee the moment he lost 15% of his Flame Body.

Indeed, none of those who became God-Kings were unskilled at escaping.

Alas, Blazing Sky God-King's biggest mistake was ignoring the scale Lin Tianwei had thrown at him—a scale belonging to the Star Devouring Behemoth.

The scale carried the Star Devouring Behemoth's imprint, even more so after it self-destructed, making it impossible to completely eliminate easily.

Under these circumstances, Blazing Sky God-King might evade the perception of other God-Kings, but he could not escape the Star Devouring Behemoth's perception at all.

Blazing Sky God-King was not unaware of this situation, but he was in a bitter plight, utterly helpless.

To remove this Star Devouring Behemoth's power, which clung to him like a maggot to bone, he had to calm down and deal with it patiently.

However, doing so would undoubtedly allow the Star Devouring Behemoth to catch up to him, putting him in an even more passive situation.

If he didn't stop, considering Blazing Sky God-King's injuries and the power gap between them, Blazing Sky God-King had no chance of escaping the Star Devouring Behemoth's grasp.

It was precisely because of this that Blazing Sky God-King was utterly helpless against the Star Devouring Behemoth's pursuit.

He could only let the Star Devouring Behemoth, like a hunter, gradually approach its prey, even if that prey was a high and mighty God-King!

As for calling for help?

The God-Kings on the Origin Universe side weren't completely useless; how could they just stand by and watch the God-Kings from the Chaos Universe side go to Blazing Sky God-King's aid?

Especially when Mechanical God-King, for some unknown reason, did not respond to this God-King war, plunging the Chaos Universe into an extremely passive situation.

Thinking of this, Blazing Sky God-King couldn't help but curse, lambasting Mechanical God-King as a scoundrel for refusing to act at this most critical moment, which was essentially sending him to his death.

Regret, boundless regret, flooded Blazing Sky God-King's consciousness.

Feeling the Star Devouring Behemoth drawing ever closer, Blazing Sky God-King was filled with bitter remorse, regretting that he shouldn't have provoked Lin Tianwei, this disaster.

If he hadn't been severely wounded by Lin Tianwei, how could he have put himself in such peril?

If he had known that Mechanical God-King was also unable to come to his aid because he was engrossed in the data flesh and blood from Lin Tianwei's transaction, he would probably have been so angry he'd suffer internal injuries.

One could say that while it appeared the Star Devouring Behemoth was hunting Blazing Sky God-King, the true culprit behind all this was entirely Lin Tianwei.

Even the scale that provided the Star Devouring Behemoth with coordinates was implanted into Blazing Sky God-King's body by Lin Tianwei.

Of course, if Blazing Sky God-King hadn't foolishly sought trouble with Lin Tianwei, things wouldn't have escalated to this point.

It was his own arrogance and ignorance of what should not be provoked that were to blame.

Death was the price for his transgression against Lin Tianwei.

It's a pity Blazing Sky God-King clearly wouldn't be able to learn from this price, as not all God-Kings targeted by the Star Devouring Behemoth possessed the capital to live another life.

Roar...

That was the roar of a Star Devouring Behemoth.

With the sound of this roar, the chase finally reached its end, for the Star Devouring Behemoth had caught up to its prey, a prey incapable of struggling.

"Suppress!"

Just two simple words, yet to Blazing Sky God-King, they felt heavier than a thousand pounds, as if they could even suppress his divine soul.

Feeling his body gradually becoming sluggish, Blazing Sky God-King finally had time to look at his chest; there, a fiery red scale had already formed.

Under the Star Devouring Behemoth's efforts, the exploded scale had absorbed energy from Blazing Sky God-King's body and gradually re-solidified.

Not only that, but it also used the Star Devouring Behemoth's energy to infect Blazing Sky God-King's Flame Body, making it no longer pure.

It was precisely due to the Star Devouring Behemoth's Infection that Blazing Sky God-King became so pathetic.

In Blazing Sky God-King's utterly terrified gaze, the Star Devouring Behemoth opened its maw and effortlessly swallowed Blazing Sky God-King.

The Star Devouring Behemoth, bearing the name Star Devouring, was most powerful in its devouring ability.

Once swallowed, unless Blazing Sky God-King possessed power far greater than the Star Devouring Behemoth, he could only be slowly devoured by the Star Devouring Behemoth, completely becoming its food.

His God King Laws would also become part of the Star Devouring Behemoth's power.

And it was at the moment the Star Devouring Behemoth devoured Blazing Sky God-King that this chase was officially declared over.

The Star Devouring Behemoth, having just acquired a satisfying meal, did not cease its actions; instead, it looked towards Lin Tianwei's original position and murmured:

"This Cosmic Beast truly runs incredibly fast; it has completely vanished from my perception."

"No matter, as long as he still exists within the Alien Battlefield, he won't escape my grasp."

"As a reward for allowing me to successfully hunt Blazing Sky God-King, I will simply swat you to death, sparing you the torment of being slowly digested by me."

"After all, not all Cosmic Beasts are worthy of becoming my food!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the Star Devouring Behemoth vanished from the universe.

He needed some time to digest the Blazing Sky God-King's power within his stomach and was not suitable for continued battle under these circumstances.

Otherwise, if Blazing Sky God-King were to escape, that would be a true loss... "Ding, Blazing Sky God-King has been devoured. Given your role in this, you are awarded five hundred billion Merit Points (merit points)."

"Ding, congratulations on successfully killing Fritz, the Chairman of the Chaos Universe Alliance, completing the beheading mission, and receiving one hundred and fifty billion Merit Points."

"Ding, you now possess a total of one trillion and fifty-three point two billion Merit Points!"

Looking at the skyrocketing merit points, Lin Tianwei had to admit that pulling off a big job was indeed more effective for earning merit points.

Although the merit point system clearly underestimated his role in the process of killing Blazing Sky God-King, those five hundred billion merit points were still something Lin Tianwei would have to work very hard for a long time to obtain.

Without hesitation, Lin Tianwei directly exchanged for a God-King inheritance and then used the remaining merit points to exchange for some resources he might need.

From previous events, it could be deduced that this conscription token was like a ticking time bomb for him, capable of revealing his location at any moment.

Under these circumstances, Lin Tianwei naturally would not choose to carry such a dangerous item with him anymore.

Although it wasn't certain that any God-King would dare to trouble him after Blazing Sky God-King's demise, for the sake of caution, Lin Tianwei still decided to destroy this conscription token.

Under the influence of the God King Laws spread throughout every corner of the Alien Battlefield, and with the deduction of merit points, Lin Tianwei quickly received the items he had just exchanged for.

After storing them all in the Tiger Tooth Space, Lin Tianwei casually tossed the conscription token into the void.

Of course, when discarding the conscription token, Lin Tianwei also didn't forget to send a final message to Heavensea God-King, which could be considered giving him an explanation.

After all, during his growth, the Cosmic Beasts who had helped him were few and far between.

Lin Tianwei still felt some gratitude towards Heavensea God-King, who had helped him multiple times.

However, gratitude did not mean he had to blindly sacrifice himself for the other party.

Under the current circumstances, abandoning this conscription token was clearly the best choice for Lin Tianwei.

What's more, Lin Tianwei had not only helped Heavensea God-King conquer countless cities and territories but had also slain several powerhouses of the Chaos Universe, and even a God-King had fallen under his guidance.

This could be considered living up to Heavensea God-King's expectations.

Thinking this, Lin Tianwei's figure streaked across the starry sky, flying rapidly towards a certain direction.

He had to quickly find a place to comprehend the God-King inheritance and lay the most solid foundation for his path to becoming a God-King!

...Meanwhile, Heavensea God-King was somewhat stunned by the message Lin Tianwei had sent.

He had originally thought he would soon receive a reply from Lin Tianwei, but he never expected such a response.

Considering Lin Tianwei's glorious battle record and the situation of being backstabbed, he couldn't even utter a word to persuade him to stay. In the end, his myriad words only transformed into a long sigh.

In this matter, he absolutely owed Lin Tianwei an apology.

The conscription token he had given out had become the fuse that brought danger to Lin Tianwei, and Heavensea God-King was equally to blame.

Thinking of this, Heavensea God-King looked again at the Alien Battlefield, this battlefield that bore the rise and fall of two great universes.

He was truly distressed, not knowing when this honorable battlefield had turned into a tool for some people to pursue personal gain.

It was time to intervene in this matter. Taking advantage of Lin Tianwei's momentum, they should launch an all-out attack to destroy the Chaos Universe, thereby securing a ray of hope for the Origin Universe.

One must know that even Fritz, the Chairman of the Chaos Universe Alliance, had fallen into Lin Tianwei's hands; now was the best opportunity to launch a general offensive.

Heavensea God-King only hoped that certain Cosmic Beasts would not ruin things for themselves, abandoning what they should be doing at this most critical moment for some petty gains... However, everything happening in the Alien Battlefield had nothing to do with Lin Tianwei. Although he was born in the Origin Universe, he had not received much nurturing from it.

Coupled with being a transmigrator, his sense of belonging was almost zero, so it was naturally impossible for him to exhaust himself for the Origin Universe and delay his own advancement.

For Lin Tianwei, everything was illusory; only the improvement of strength was eternal.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei sent out a clone to shout loudly in the Cyber Ranch:

"Mechanical God-King, I've recently gained some insights and need to find a place to seclude myself and seek a breakthrough."

"You and I are partners after all, and we might even have multiple collaborations in the future. You shouldn't mind if I stay in your Mechanical Temple for a while."

Don't mind? I mind very much!

The instant Lin Tianwei finished speaking, a familiar figure instantly appeared in Lin Tianwei's Cyber Ranch. Who else could it be but the Mechanical God-King?

Blazing Sky God-King probably never dreamed that Mechanical God-King, who hadn't appeared even during his life-and-death crisis, could be summoned by Lin Tianwei at will. This was simply an incredible matter.

Could Lin Tianwei be more important than the safety of the Chaos Universe?

However, the facts were merciless and a slap in the face: in Mechanical God-King's eyes, Blazing Sky God-King truly couldn't compare to Lin Tianwei, who could help him achieve flesh and blood transformation.

Of course, there was a very special reason why Mechanical God-King could be summoned at will: his research on that data flesh and blood had not made any breakthrough progress.

In an era where technology had advanced to the point of entering the universe and freely roaming within it, for Mechanical God-King, cloning flesh and blood was as easy as turning over one's hand.

So, immediately upon returning, Mechanical God-King began to clone that data flesh and blood.

Mechanical God-King was also an ambitious God-King; how could he allow himself to have such a handle held by Lin Tianwei?

Once he had a breakthrough in data flesh and blood, that would be the moment of Lin Tianwei's demise. (End of Chapter)
