Cultivation Chronicles in the Marvel Universe

Chapter 257: Tang and Song Dynasties VS Collectors

Views:

The Taibai sword energy transformed by the sword ball bloomed like a rain waterfall in this hundred-meter-high collection treasure house. The white light flashed and disappeared, and the pure white and cold sword light shrank.

The invisible sword energy condensed from virtual to solid into white lotus petals. The murderous intent on the lotus petals condensed into dew drops that dripped onto the ground, and the ground paved with star stones was instantly cut into countless cracks.

Two palm-sized white lotuses spun and turned into two silver sword balls the size of lotus seeds and fell back into Tang Song's hands.

Looking around the entire treasury at this time, under the ravages of two magic-level sword balls, it has been restored to its clean and neat appearance when it was renovated hundreds of years ago.

Apart from Tang Song, only the Collector in gorgeous robes and the stunned Star-Lord in the crystal coffin behind him were still intact.

The rest of the star stone walls and ground that were covered with incisions, as well as everything in the entire collection treasury, were shattered into dust by the indestructible sword energy.

The two sword balls were spinning and playing on his fingertips. Tang Song was very satisfied with the power displayed by the two sword balls. It was worth it for him to use huge amounts of resources to refine these two sword balls.

Over the past two years, at least one-fifth of the metal output from Tang's Mining Company's mines on Earth and Heildam has been fed into these two sword pills.

Metal ores such as gold, silver, copper, iron and tin become rotten and lose their value after the sword ball extracts their inner gold energy.

According to data reports from mining companies, the total value of these "wasted" metal ores is at least equivalent to half of the market value of Osborne.

It can be said that these two magic weapon-grade sword pills were made by Boss Tang using all his resources.

In the world of Jambu, only the disciples of the true sects who raise Taoist soldiers dare to waste like this. Moreover, most of the resources in the world of Jambu have owners.

In addition to those high-level spiritual masters who can break through the sky and traverse the starry sky of the universe, there are also Pure Yang Immortals who dare to travel between the stars to collect star sand, use their great magic power to extract a vein of ore, and even refine an entire star.

For ordinary Jindan and Yuanying true transmission, even if they have Taoist soldiers to drive, there are not so many ownerless mineral veins for them to mine in the Yama Continent.

After the unexpected death of a mining tycoon, the mining company under Boss Tang controlled the largest metal mines in South America and North America, and 30% of the second largest gold mine in Indonesia.

At the same time, in the interstellar mining that is in full swing recently, the Tang Group, together with Stark Industries, Osborn Group, and Weyland Industries, has occupied a 15% share.

You should know that among the five major members of the World Security Council, Wakanda holds the largest share among the other countries, accounting for 5%. As for the second-tier countries like Japan, Germany and India, they basically only have a 3% share.

This is also the reason why Pepper Potts, the president of Stark Industries, still agreed to cooperate with Tang's Group even though she knew that there was a rift between Tony and Tang Song.

Personal grudges are personal, and in the face of real group interests, these can be put aside.

Superheroes may talk about good and evil, and so-called justice.

However, a qualified company leader must learn to safeguard the interests of the company and shareholders. Otherwise, in the face of interests, even the company founder may be dismissed at any time.

The cooperation between Stark Industries and Tang Group has almost monopolized the production of Ark Reactors, which are an irreplaceable energy source for interstellar exploration ships and mining ships.

As for Weyland Industries, it possesses world-class aerospace technology and hibernation capsule technology, in addition to the Osborne Group, which is unique in the biological field.

The four companies joined together to form an almost giant interest group.

As for the federal antitrust law, Tang Group has 20% of bearer shares, and shareholders are spread across the federal political, business and military circles.

After reaching a community of interests, four companies including Stark Industries, Osborn Group and Weyland Industries exchanged interests with some old federal conglomerates through cross-stocking.

If we want to enforce antitrust laws against them, we won’t be able to get past the congressional vote.

Unless the federal president directly circumvents the constitution, but the current federal president does not have the support of Boss Tang, so it is hard to say whether he can be re-elected.

Moreover, the four companies acted with great discretion. Their combined 15% share was within everyone's tolerance range, not to mention that Boss Tang also held the animal skin that was crucial to protecting the safety of the space gate.

In the past two years, a large number of exploration ships and outer space mining ships have discovered no less than a dozen asteroids and meteorite belts rich in minerals within one light year of the space gate.

Although some resources are not mined at a high rate due to the current level of technology, shiploads of ore are being pulled back from the space gate.

With so much mineral resources, if countries around the world did not intentionally control them to avoid impacts on the metal market, at least half of the world's domestic mining companies would have gone bankrupt.

In addition to owning this 5% share of mineral resources, the mining company under the Tang Group also has the real big share of ore that is continuously produced in the Heildam world.

With so many resources piled up in the world of Yama, they can be used to make seven or eight flying swords of magic level.

Di Wan looked at the silver beads on Tang Song's fingertips with envy. These things he had never seen before were of great collection value to him.

"What are these two metal balls? Are they some kind of high-tech weapons, or magical weapons? Judging from their attack methods, they look very similar to the whistle arrows made by Yaka? But the high-energy reaction on them is very strong..."

The two sword balls on Tang Song's fingertips stopped spinning. He looked at Di Wan in surprise: "Your collection is gone, aren't you angry?"

Tiwan was stunned for a moment, a look of realization appeared on his face, and then his face became furious: "Damn thief, you rubbish after the destruction of the universe, return my collection and your two beads."

Tiwan felt like he was going crazy. All the collections he had worked so hard to accumulate since the creation of the universe were now gone and stolen by this thief!

"Give it back to you? How is that possible? How can I spit out something I've put into my mouth?"

Pretending to be surprised, he looked at Di Wan, whose eyes were spitting fire and staring at him, and then Tang Song threw two sword balls into the air. The two silver sword balls turned into two one-foot-long Taibai essences that were inhaled into his nose.

Then Tang Song flipped his hand and took out an apple from the Wuyin bag. It was a golden apple made of gold. Even the stalk and two apple leaves seemed to be carved out of gold.

Looking at the golden apple being tossed up and down by Tang Song, collector Tiwan's eyes moved back and forth along the apple, cursing:

"This is the golden apple I got from Zeus in the Pantheon. Since the Ausperian pantheon left the real dimension, the golden apple tree no longer bears fruit.

This golden apple is the only thing left in the entire universe. I bought it from Zeus in exchange for two hundred beauties from all races in the Milky Way!"

Good job, you are worthy of it!

Tang Song was delighted, impressed by the fact that Di Wan knew his collection like the back of his hand, and even more impressed by the fact that the God King of a certain pantheon was worthy of the title of stud.

The Golden Apple was a famous treasure in Greek mythology that Tang and Song had heard of.

It first appeared in Greek mythology at the wedding of Zeus and Hera.

Gaia, the goddess of the earth, gave Zeus and Hera a large tree with lush branches and leaves as a wedding gift, and the tree was full of golden apples.

Zeus sent the four daughters of the night god, called the Hesperides, to guard the sacred garden where the golden apples were planted.

In addition, there is a hundred-headed dragon, Ladon, to help guard them. It is said that the legendary golden apple that can keep one young forever also leads to a mythical story about who is the most beautiful woman.

A golden apple staged a mythical version of the two peaches killing three warriors drama.

Tang Song still remembers the general story. At a banquet of the gods, a golden apple with the words "For the most beautiful goddess" engraved on it was presented to them.

The three goddesses present at the meeting: Queen Hera, Goddess of Wisdom Athena, and Goddess of Love and Beauty Aphrodite all believed that the apple should belong to them.

Because the three of them kept arguing, Zeus, the king of the gods, decided to let Paris, the prince of Troy, who was shepherding sheep in the wild, to adjudicate the dispute.

Hermes, the messenger of the gods, brought Paris to the wedding scene.

The three goddesses made tempting promises to Paris: Hera, the queen of heaven, promised to let Paris rule the richest country on earth;

The goddess of wisdom, Athena, promised Paris infinite wisdom and lasting victory.

The most charming goddess of love, Aphrodite, promised to make Paris marry the most beautiful woman in the world.

As a result, Paris gave the golden apple to Aphrodite, whom he thought was the most beautiful goddess, and offended Hera and Athena.

And the god of love also allowed Paris to get the most beautiful woman, Helen, the queen of Menelaos, the king of Sparta, and the daughter of Zeus and Leda.

This led to the famous Trojan War.

Crunch! Tang Song grabbed the golden apple and took a bite. The sweet apple made him feel like he was dreaming of a fairy tale from his childhood in his previous life.

It's just that he is now in the middle of it and has become a character in the story. Tang Song is not very interested in the complex and entangled ethical drama of the Osspirin pantheon.

He took out the golden apple just to attract Tiwan's attention. Just as Tiwan was watching with heartache as Tang Song took a bite of the only golden apple in the universe.

A blood shadow silently spread from under Tang Song's feet towards Di Wan!

Kacha!

"Hmm?" Originally, Tang Song took out the golden apple just to attract Di Wan's attention, but after taking a few bites, he felt a warm and alien energy rising from his stomach, flowing into his true essence, and then converging into his Yin-Yang Pill along with the hundreds of meridians in his body.

The Yin-Yang Golden Pill in his body felt like it was in a hot spring under the warmth of this strange energy. It even jumped comfortably a few times in Tang Song's Dantian and its size increased by nearly half.

It can be said that a golden apple saved him more than ten years of hard training.

A golden apple is so magical. I wonder if the apple tree in the legendary holy garden of Oscar still exists. If he hits a dozen of them, his cultivation level will soar on the spot.

Even if the Osspirin pantheon does not have it, there is no shortage of such magical treasures in the myths and legends of several other pantheons.

If I remember correctly, when he was drinking with Odin before, the King of Gods implied that he wanted him to help Asgard avoid the fate of Ragnarok.

As for the reward, he needs to have a good talk with His Majesty the King of Gods. One of the sources of Ragnarok is the goddess of death Hela. If it doesn't work out, he can suffer a loss and marry Hela, and recognize Odin as his cheap father-in-law.

Of course, the dowry cannot be less.

Not far away, Di Wan looked at the golden apple that Tang Song had eaten in a few bites, leaving only the core. "You can eat it if you want, but why is there such a lewd smile on your face?"

This golden apple, the only one in the universe, is a unique collection, and he himself was reluctant to eat it.

The furious Tiwan pointed the transparent stick in his hand.

"boom"

The terrifying beam of light was spinning rapidly in the air, and it slammed towards Tang Song with an attitude of annihilating everything.

The Elder of the Universe was so angry that the force of the transparent long stick in his hand even tore the space apart.

"Kachcha!"

Tang Song took a bite of the golden apple, then put the core back into his Five Yin Bag: "Why, I ate your apple and you want to fight me? How stingy!"

Tang Song sneered, and there was no trace of the lustful look on his face.

He shook his hands and dozens of Binghuo divine lightning bolts shot out.

The fist-sized, scarlet Binghuo Divine Thunder, which was integrated with the power of the Eternal Fire, was extremely powerful. At the moment when Tiwan rushed forward, all the Binghuo Divine Thunders exploded at the same time with a bang.

A huge ball of red flame wrapped around Tiwan's body. Countless fireballs the size of human heads kept exploding and appearing in the red flame. The intensive explosions instantly submerged Tiwan.

As for Boss Tang himself, he flew back quickly, and at the same time a bone banner appeared in front of him to protect him.

The beam of light bombarded the Ghost Bone Banner, and the two collided, creating a huge shock wave that instantly blew away the entire castle that the collector had managed for who knows how many years.

Revealing the two people confronting each other under the castle.

Tang Song stood behind the Ghost Skeleton Banner, and a vermilion bracelet appeared in his palm.

He was just a small cultivator at the Jindan stage, so how could he dare to fight head-on with this powerful being who was at least at the level of Heavenly Father God.

However, during the past two years of refining, the four ghost bone banners devoured millions of demons and dead souls, and had long been refined by him into four true-form level magic weapons.

Crash!

On the ghost bone banner, two figures, one black and one white, held mourning sticks and soul-locking chains and rushed towards Tiwan.

Tiwan was bombarded by dozens of Binghuo divine thunders. The protective robe on his body was burned with several holes by the divine thunders containing eternal fire, and his meticulously groomed white hair was burned black.

He had just escaped from the continuously exploding chain of fire thunders when he was hit hard on the head by a club.

Although as a high-level god from the previous universe and one of the few remaining cosmic elders in the current universe, Collector Tiwan possesses the strength of the Father God.

But in all the countless years since the creation of the universe, his experience in taking action can be counted on one hand, and as for fighting, well, he basically doesn't know how to do it.

Faced with the ghost bone banner transforming into the Black and White Impermanence spirits, he could only squander the enormous power in his body to fight against the Black and White Impermanence spirits.

Well, from Boss Tang's perspective, Tiwan's ability to fight cannot be said to be bad, it is just at the level of a five-whip combo. Under the same strength, even any earthling who is slightly proficient in fighting skills can knock Tiwan down.

But this guy's power is too great. If the energy of the Zhenyuan Dan in his body is like a well, then the vigorous energy in Tivan's body is like an entire lake, like Lake Baikal.

This guy has lived too long. If he were a pig, the energy accumulated in his body would allow him to grow into Zhu Bajie.

The energy flow brought out by Tiwan's wildly dancing crystal staff made the surrounding space somewhat unstable. Force was able to defeat skill, and the two magical weapons, Black and White Impermanence, couldn't even get close to him.

The power in this guy's body is definitely at the level of God the Father. Judging from the strength of his energy alone, he is even stronger than Odin. However, if they really fight, Odin can beat ten of him.

... ... ..

Outside the castle, the fighting angels and Thanos' dark fleet also noticed the sudden disappearance of the energy shield and the entire castle.

At this time, Michael rushed into outer space alone with a sword. Because of his distraction, the gate of heaven was no longer bombarded by the main guns of the dark fleet in outer space, and countless angels poured out from heaven.

General Death's Blade commanded his war beasts and mercenaries to frantically block the angel reinforcements in the Heaven's Gate, but the number of these angels was too huge.

Soon they couldn't hold back anymore.

At this moment, General Grim Reaper noticed "several people" fighting in the castle!

"Ebony Maw, I'll buy time. I'll rush over, get the Power Stone, and then evacuate this planet!"

General Deathblade growled at Ebony Maw, swung the Death Blade in his hand, and led the war beasts beside him to launch a counterattack towards the Angel Legion.

A strange light flashed in Ebony Maw's eyes, and he commanded thousands of war beasts to rush towards the ruins of the castle that were no longer obstructed. At the same time, he stepped on a piece of the broken deck of the spaceship and flew towards Tiwan who was fighting with the Black and White Impermanence.

In the sky, some six-winged angels also noticed the situation in the castle ruins. Several angels in white robes held golden trumpets in their hands.

Woo woo woo—

Amid the resounding sound of trumpets, countless two-winged and four-winged angels swooped down from the sky towards the center of the castle, singing hymns.

... ... ... .

Collector Tiwan waved the transparent stick, and the original power from the previous universe flashed with colorful light, once again shattering the souls of the Black and White Impermanence.

But in the blink of an eye, they walked down from the bone banner alive.

Once, twice, three times, after more than ten times, no matter how stupid Tiwan was, he figured out that the secret of the black and white man's immortality was on this banner.

Just as he was swinging the transparent stick and preparing to hit the long banner,

From the shadow behind him, a blood-red light shot out and struck the collector's body as fast as lightning.

Originating from the sense of danger imprinted in the genes of the high-level gods in the ancient universe, the Collector felt the threat of death behind his body at the critical moment.

He turned around suddenly and used the transparent long stick in his hand to block in front of him.

The blood knife hummed, and the collector Tanlia Tiwan's scalp went numb under the full-strength strike of the blood-robed Taoist priest who appeared behind him.

He will die.

If he cannot block this sword, he will die. Even if he is a high-level god born in the previous universe and a member of the Elders of the Universe, he will die if this sword hits him.

Cold sweat was covering the collector's forehead. He was doomed!

"Kachcha!"

The artifact in Tiwan's hand that had accompanied him for a universe of time was cut into two by the sharp blood knife.

However, this broken transparent stick blocked the fatal blow for Diwan, giving him a glimmer of hope in this insidious assassination.

At this time, Tiwan no longer cared about his collection. He tried his best to control the original power in his body, trying to tear open a space crack and escape from here.

At this moment, a hand shining with vermilion light appeared from the void and gently pressed on the collector's shoulder.

It was like a seal, suppressing the Collector's power that was about to explode.

"I surrender. I am the elder of the universe and I am responsible for maintaining the balance of the universe.

Besides this place of nothingness, I have nine treasure houses.

My brother is Gao Tianzun, his strength is several times greater than mine. If you want to kill me, he will never let you go.

I know the secret to another universe, the key to the power of the multiverse—"

Seeing that the long knife that brought him death threat was about to hit his face, Tiwan frantically spoke the secret to save his life.

"Um?"

The blade stopped at the tip of Di Wan's nose, and the Bloody Taoist, the phantom spirit of the Demonic Blood Knife, looked at Tang Song.

Without Tang Song's resistance, he would have chopped down with the sword long ago.

In the world of Jambu, magic weapons are divided into virtual spirit, true form, phantom god, and pure yang. The two sword pills and the Great Wilderness Bell refined by Tang and Song are only of the virtual spirit grade.

The four ghost bone banners are all real magic weapons, and the Demon Blood Sword made from the corpse of Mephisto, the Lord of Hell, is a real phantom magic weapon.

During the ancient battle of the gods, Erlang Xiansheng, who was at the half-step creation level, was hit by the Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Knife. If he had not stolen the antidote, he would have turned into a pool of dirty blood.

It is true that the sword in Boss Tang's hand is not the genuine one, but Di Wan's strength is at best comparable to that of the Heavenly Father God of the Pure Yang True Immortal.

If this knife really chops down, no matter you are an elder of the universe or a heavenly father god at the level of a true immortal, your body will inevitably turn into a pool of dirty blood and your soul will be torn apart.

Tang Song looked at it, and the reality gem on Ti Wan's palm flashed red. As he slapped Ti Wan's shoulder, Ti Wan's body couldn't help but tremble.

As a cosmic elder who had always lived a life of luxury, he had never experienced such a life-and-death crisis.

"Congratulations, you saved your life. I'm very interested in the secret to the multiverse you told me!"

"Then shouldn't you take out your power gem first to show your sincerity, huh?"

Tang Song took the cosmic spirit ball containing the power gem from Di Wan. For collectors, the power gem is more of a collectible.

For Tang Song, the Infinity Stones are the power in his own hands.

Looking at the shivering Di Wan, Tang Song felt more and more that his choice was right.

After knowing that this was the Marvel Universe, Tang Song began to refine magical instruments and treasures, as well as poisonous insects.

He took shortcuts simply because according to the timeline of this universe, there wasn't enough time for him to practice slowly.

Therefore, Tang Song armed himself with these easy-to-make magic weapons.

Even though his cultivation level is only at the Jindan stage, with those magic weapons in his hands and a few Infinity Stones, he is now like Yin Jiao in the Romance of the Gods who made the Twelve Golden Immortals flee in panic after being beaten with the Fantian Seal!

Ti Wan's strength was a hundred or a thousand times greater than his, but so what? With the few magic weapons in his hands, he could easily capture him.

Tang Songzhi was filled with pride and put away the cosmic spirit ball carrying the power gem and the continent in the bottle.

He raised his eyes and saw in the distance, a vast expanse of white like falling snow. Countless two-winged and four-winged angels were rushing towards him, flashing holy light that could blind a person's eyes.

The ground rumbled and shook, and a huge group of war beasts also rushed over here.
