The latest preview for Swallowed Star (吞噬星空) throws its hero into a vortex of chaos and deception. As Luo Feng (罗峰) ventures deeper into the cosmic mysteries of the Star Tower, he finds himself surrounded by formidable foes and false allies. The promise of a legendary treasure ignites a free-for-all among the most powerful beings in the universe. Just when a fragile alliance seems to offer a path to survival, a shocking act of betrayal threatens to end his journey forever, forcing him to make an impossible choice that could change his destiny.
Allies Turned Enemies
The tension in the 21st forbidden space was immediate. Twenty-two alien Kings, each a powerhouse, watched with hostile intent. Among them, Chen Hun Wang (晨混王) made his move, challenging Luo Feng directly due to a prior grievance. In this realm, weakness invites aggression. Before the conflict could escalate, Luo Feng's companion, the formidable Zhong Jian Wang (重箭王), acted. His dual blades moved like lightning, cleanly slicing through Chen Hun Wang's divine form. The attack was not just swift; it was fatal.
A deadly Femo Poison coated the blades, rapidly eroding his opponent's essence and causing a peak King to perish in moments. This display of overwhelming force served as a stark warning to every other warrior present.
The journey pushed forward into the next chamber, where Luo Feng finally linked up with Tian Zhen Wang (天阵王), a master of illusion and soul attacks. His power was considered comparable to the highest echelons of Kings. Together, they faced a staggering sight: a gathering of over one hundred thousand immortal beings, with the vast majority being King-level experts. Legends like Xuan Mu Wang (玄墓王) and Qi Jian Wang (七剑王), who were nearing invincibility, were also drawn to the impending prize. To increase their chances, Tian Zhen Wang proposed an alliance, quickly amassing a small army of a thousand Kings.
When the Zhen Feng Star (镇封星辰) finally manifested, order completely collapsed. The chamber descended into pandemonium as fighters employed spatial locks to prevent teleportation and launched indiscriminate attacks. Luo Feng and his companions used their unique skills to navigate the storm, trying to reach the treasure. Yet, their efforts were in vain; no one could leave a soul imprint on it. The star itself became a weapon, its uncontrolled descent obliterating countless Kings upon impact. The battle swiftly transformed into a gruesome harvest, with survivors scrambling to loot the fallen.
A Cosmic Mentor
Amidst the carnage, a personal plea for help cut through the noise. Trusting his ally, Luo Feng rushed to Tian Zhen Wang's aid without hesitation. This trust was his undoing. It was an elaborate ruse. As he arrived, Chi Mang Wang (魑芒王), who seemed to be pursuing Tian Zhen, suddenly turned and unleashed a devastating soul-based illusion attack directly at him. The truth was revealed: Tian Zhen Wang had been in control all along, orchestrating the entire scenario to eliminate a potential rival. Luo Feng was caught in a trap of his own making, betrayed by someone he considered a comrade.
With his consciousness fading under the powerful illusion technique and his body plummeting, Luo Feng saw only one path left. He reached for a Fire God Source Crystal, prepared to detonate it and take his treacherous betrayer with him into oblivion. It was a final, desperate act of defiance. However, as he braced for the end, an unexpected and immense power enveloped him. It was gentle yet absolute, halting his fall and pulling him from the brink of death.
When his senses cleared, he found himself not in the chaotic tower, but within a serene, mysterious hall. Standing before him was a being whose aura radiated the authority of a Universe Master. This was Pruti (普缇), disciple of the legendary Zuo Shan Ke (坐山客). He had been waiting for Luo Feng for a very long time. His presence was not a coincidence; it was the next step in a grand, cosmic plan.
The Tower's Destiny
Pruti's intervention marks a pivotal turn. His purpose for waiting is clear: to guide Luo Feng toward accomplishing the impossible. The Star Tower is not merely a location for battle; it is a sentient treasure of unimaginable power, and it requires a worthy master. The brutal competition for the Zhen Feng Star was merely a surface-level struggle compared to the true trial of conquering the tower itself. Pruti's appearance signals that this ultimate challenge is now beginning.
For Luo Feng, this means his journey is far from over. The betrayal by Tian Zhen Wang was a harsh lesson in the realities of power, but the guidance of Pruti offers a new, more profound path. The skills, resilience, and willpower he has honed through countless battles are about to be tested in a way he never imagined. He must look beyond the immediate conflict and prepare for a responsibility that spans the cosmos.
The stage is set for an inheritance that could reshape the balance of the universe. The chaos of the great brawl, the sting of betrayal, and the emergence of a mentor all converge at this single point. Luo Feng stands at the threshold of his greatest power-up, but the final cost of claiming the Star Tower remains his greatest unknown.
