433: Luring the tiger away from the mountain

As a powerful expert standing at the Peak of the Hongmeng Realm, the breadth of Star Swallower's knowledge was simply beyond description.

Because, according to ancient legends, only those who perfectly integrated eleven main lawss into their Divine Body before reaching the God King Realm were qualified to achieve the Supreme Realm and become Peerless Great Experts.

However, one must first comprehend eleven main lawss before stepping into the God King Realm, successfully integrate these eleven Laws into one's Divine Body until the Divine Body reaches the Realm of Perfection, and only then advance to God King.

Star Swallower had never witnessed, or even heard of, such astonishing and brilliant talent.

Therefore, if Xun Xiuyuan could integrate nine main lawss into his Divine Body while still in the True God Realm, he would already be a Genius with extremely high talent.

Take Star Swallower himself, for example; before advancing to the God King Realm, he had only integrated seven main lawss into his Divine Body.

Another example is Ling Baoer, who comprehended more than ten Laws. Upon closer investigation, it would be found that the eleven Laws she comprehended actually belonged to the scope of seven main lawss, exactly the same number of Laws integrated by Star Swallower.

Aside from Xun Xiuyuan, Xie Nanqiao was a Super Genius who had already comprehended ten main lawss and integrated them into her Divine Body while in the True God Realm.

Even more astonishingly, all of this was achieved while she was Cultivating casually during her free time, demonstrating a level of talent that was truly unattainable for others.

Of course, Star Swallower did not know any of this.

However, even so, Star Swallower had gone through the refinement of long years before gradually comprehending three subsequent Laws. As for the final Law, it remained elusive, like the moon reflected in water or flowers in a mirror.

This was because there existed a subtle relativity between Laws, and that remaining final Law had become an insurmountable barrier standing before all Hongmeng Realm experts.

Even a Hongmeng Realm expert like Star Swallower had to admit that there were divisions of strength within the Hongmeng Realm itself.

The key to this distinction lay in the number of Laws integrated into the Divine Body.

Although Star Swallower had now integrated ten cosmic cores, his Divine Body still only contained seven integrated Laws.

The number of Laws integrated into the Divine Body directly determined the current limit of Star Swallower's Divine Body strength.

This also explains why Xun Xiuyuan, having only integrated six-system cosmic cores, could fight fiercely against Bai Lang, who had integrated eight-system cosmic cores, without falling into a disadvantage.

The fundamental reason was that Xun Xiuyuan's Divine Body had already integrated eleven main lawss, causing his Divine Body strength to far exceed his own Realm and reach the so-called Realm of Divine Body Perfection.

Xun Xiuyuan arrived quickly, appearing inside the Artifact Spirit Hall, and greeted everyone present one by one.

Since the return of True Person Yuan Ling, the function of the Artifact Spirit had been greatly enhanced. Its capabilities had reached a new height, even allowing for ultra-long-distance precise detection to promptly discover any invading enemies.

After Star Swallower temporarily established a Base in the Yuan Ling Universe, the Holy Kings who were originally scattered across various Fortresses stopped remaining on guard and all gathered in the Artifact Spirit Hall for unified deployment and arrangement.

When Star Swallower's gaze fell upon Xun Xiuyuan, a smile of satisfaction involuntarily appeared on his face. He spoke gently:

"We were just talking about you. It's truly astonishing that you successfully integrated a cosmic core while in the True Saint Realm. Everyone is guessing: exactly how many main lawss have been integrated into your Divine Body?"

Hearing this, Xun Xiuyuan paused slightly and repeated doubtfully, "Divine Body?"

After receiving affirmative nods from everyone, he fell into brief contemplation.

He knew clearly that his Divine Body had actually integrated twelve Laws, including eleven powerful main lawss and one relatively unique Law of Slaughter.

However, the Law of Slaughter was ultimately a Secondary Law, and it did not provide significant help in improving strength.

But Xun Xiuyuan also knew a secret: the number of main lawss integrated into the Divine Body directly related to a person's future strength and potential.

Therefore, he dared not easily reveal the truth.

After careful consideration, he decided to answer vaguely, "What is there to guess? Nine."

He dared not say too few, lest he be unable to explain his current strength, nor dared he reveal the entire truth, fearing hidden consequences that even he was unaware of.

Upon hearing Xun Xiuyuan's reply, a look of satisfaction flashed in Star Swallower's eyes, and he smiled faintly, "Just as expected. Your talent is indeed extraordinary, and since you are still so young, your future achievements are limitless."

Xun Xiuyuan then walked over to Titan's side and offered Titan his sincere congratulations.

Hearing this, Titan burst out laughing, appearing extremely pleased.

Star Swallower was also in a joyful mood, as the Starry Sky Giant Beast Family had gained a new Holy King member, which was undoubtedly a great event worthy of celebration.

The entire Artifact Spirit Hall was filled with a cheerful atmosphere, and everyone was genuinely happy about the good news.

After the greetings concluded, Star Swallower slowly spoke again, this time his tone carrying a trace of imperceptible vexation.

"I received an urgent message from the Giant Beast Alliance stating that Bai Guang actually infiltrated my Old Lair. You should all know what this means."

This news had actually arrived more than ten days ago, but since Xun Xiuyuan had not yet reached the Base, Star Swallower had kept the matter suppressed in his heart and had not revealed it externally.

At this moment, with everyone gathered and the atmosphere heavy, Star Swallower finally decided to make the news public.

"Initially, I didn't take this information too seriously, thinking that even if I didn't personally return to deal with it, Bai Guang wouldn't dare to be too reckless. However, the development of the situation completely exceeded my expectations."

Star Swallower continued, his brows tightly furrowed, clearly finding the unfolding situation quite troublesome.

In truth, the people inside the Great Hall had no idea who Bai Guang was, and they were staring at Star Swallower with looks of astonishment.

Seeing this, Star Swallower explained Bai Guang's identity to everyone.

Everyone gasped sharply after hearing the explanation.

The Alliance Lord of the Cosmic Alliance was the legendary most powerful existence in the Cosmic Battlefield.

"Could it be that that Alliance Lord Bai has taken action against the Giant Beast Alliance people? Does he want to force you to return to the Giant Beast Alliance?"

A thought stirred in Xun Xiuyuan's mind. Connecting it to the strategy of Luring the Tiger Out of the Mountain, he blurted out his conjecture.

Star Swallower shook his head gently, denying the conjecture: "It hasn't reached that point, but the Exotic Beasts carefully raised by Xiao Guang suffered Bai Guang's cruel hands and were completely slaughtered by him. You must know that these Exotic Beasts are the rations for the Starry Sky Giant Beasts; for us, they are extremely important foundational Cultivation resources."
