Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 172 Congrong Palace

"Your Highness, immediately initiate a space travel mission and return to the original universe!"

The voice of a staff member from Virtual Universe Company came through.

With his mind withdrawing from the 'Heart of Space', the Nether Sea awoke from the rich primordial aura and the infinite mysteries of the laws.

His entire body was filled with a profound aura of law, and his eyes were as deep as an abyss, containing endless mysteries.

After a few seconds, it returned to normal.

"I'm not far from fully comprehending the essence of the 108 spatial laws and completely mastering the fourth diagram of the Ice Peak Chaos Stele!"

Thinking about what he gained from this experience of understanding the 'Heart of Space', Minghai couldn't help but smile.

Even before leaving Chaos City, he had already touched upon the essence of the remaining 72 spatial laws. When he went to the Primordial Secret Realm, the Nine Swords Venerable demonstrated the spatial laws to him, which deepened his understanding of the essence of the complete 108 spatial laws.

Over the past six months, he has diligently studied the "Mysterious Void Manual" and the numerous secret techniques given by the Nine Swords Venerable. With the guidance of the Ultimate King-Sealing 'Cang Sword King', he has comprehended the Origin Treasure 'Heart of Control', and his spatial laws have advanced by leaps and bounds.

Having thoroughly grasped the essence of the 108 spatial laws and completed the path of analyzing the essence of the laws, we are not far off!
"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, shuttle!"

The sound echoed in the room, causing the entire spaceship to tremble slightly before everything returned to calm.

"Virtual outdoor scenery!"

The surrounding scenery changes, revealing a void outside.

A vast continent, floating in the void, its surface obscured by thick clouds and surrounded by millions of meteorites of varying sizes, appeared before us.

Through 100% virtual exterior views, Minghai gazed at this vast continent while recalling descriptions of the 'Demon Realm Canyon'.

This continent is nearly three light-years in diameter, with two enormous mountain ranges, each more than two light-years long, in its center, separating the entire continent.

'Demon Realm Canyon' is located between those two enormous mountain ranges that are more than two light-years long.

The canyon is 50 billion kilometers wide and 1.8 light-years long. Its internal environment is complex and its terrain is bizarre. Countless monsters and beasts live inside.

"Your Highness, let's go to 'Congrong Palace' first!"

The staff member said.

The universe is vast, and the distance in the void is often tens of millions of kilometers.

In space, the continent where 'Demon Valley' is located seems to be right in front of you, but it took the silver shuttle-shaped spaceship three hours of sub-light speed to get close to the meteorite cluster surrounding the continent.

Through a 100% exterior simulation of the spaceship, Minghai saw a huge meteorite with a diameter of millions of kilometers in front of him.

As they drew closer, a massive base, home to numerous powerful human warriors, soon came into view.

'Congrong Palace'!
Unlike other worlds inhabited by native humans, the inhabitants of 'Demon Realm Canyon' are all alien races, making management particularly strict.

In the outer sky, King Congrong of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance led the human army to garrison on a meteorite on the outskirts of the continent to prevent the alien races in the 'Demon Realm Canyon' from escaping.

At each end of the canyon are two military bases, each guarded by two other human immortal kings from the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, who monitor the monsters and alien races within the canyon.

Under heavy surveillance, the alien races in the 'Demon Realm Canyon' could not possibly escape.

As for why the human race's higher-ups didn't exterminate the alien races here, but instead went to the trouble of sending powerful individuals to guard the area, Minghai had no idea.

'whoosh'

Guided by signals from the 'Congrong Palace', the silver shuttle-shaped spaceship passed through the meteorite cluster and landed successfully on a vast plaza.

"Your Highness, I'll leave you here. To complete the mission in 'Demon Realm Canyon,' you need to register at 'Congrong Palace' first. A guide will come to escort you shortly. Please wait a moment!"

"That's what the staff at Virtual Universe said."

Wow!
The hatch opens.

Minghai flew out of the hatch and looked around.

This base covers an area of ​​about 10,000 square kilometers, and numerous domain lords, world lords, and even members of immortal god armies dressed in battle armor come and go.

At the center stands a magnificent palace, the 'Congrong Palace,' which covers an area of ​​hundreds of square kilometers and is eight or nine kilometers high.

The powerful human king, 'King Congrong', guards this place.

'whoosh'

An immortal deity clad in dark green battle armor and exuding a murderous aura flew from the 'Congrong Palace' to the Nether Sea.

"I am Heng Jun, the captain of the Congrong Palace guards. Which prince from the Virtual Universe Company are you here to carry out this mission?" This immortal god named Heng Jun came to Ming Hai's side, glanced at the azure water droplet mark of origin recognition between his eyebrows, and asked with surprise.

Minghai's cultivation level was only at the cosmic level, yet he possessed the mark of recognition from the origin of the universe. In Hengjun's view, this was simply mind-blowing.

Even though he has been stationed here for hundreds of millions of years and has seen countless core geniuses of the human race come here to carry out missions, he has never seen a peerless genius who has gained the recognition of the origin at the cosmic level.

"Ming Hai, a member of the Primal Secret Realm from the Virtual Universe Company, has come to carry out a company mission!"

Minghai nodded to Hengjun and asked:

"Excuse me, where do I register?"

"Your Highness, please follow me!"

Upon hearing the name Minghai, Hengjun's eyes lit up with understanding. The genius battle from over a hundred years ago was still being talked about in various places. Clearly, he had heard of Minghai's name. He nodded and said.

The two flew together toward the distant 'Congrong Palace'.

"Your Highness hasn't been a cosmic-level being for very long, has it?"

On the way, Hengjun reminded him:

"The 'Demon Realm Canyon' is extremely dangerous. No one has completed a mission here for tens of thousands of epochs. Your Highness, please be careful!"

"No one has ever completed this mission in tens of thousands of epochs?"

Upon hearing this, Minghai was slightly startled. He knew this place was dangerous, but he hadn't expected it to be this dangerous.

"Thank you for reminding!"

Minghai thanked him.

Although he was not afraid of the dangers in the Demon Realm Canyon, he naturally had to thank Hengjun for his kind reminder.

brush!
The two flew at an extremely fast speed and soon arrived at a fortress covering an area of ​​tens of kilometers, not far from the 'Congrong Palace'.

Under Hengjun's guidance, Minghai entered the fortress and soon received a dark black token with the character 'Enter' engraved on it in the universal language.

"Only those who possess this token can enter the 'Demon Realm Canyon'."

The staff inside looked at Minghai and said seriously.

After receiving the token, Minghai walked out of the fortress, took out his C9 spaceship, left the huge meteorite base, and flew towards the vast continent in the distance.

'drop'

"Received a video request from the Nine Swords Venerable."

The virtual universe assistant suddenly reminded me.

"Uh, Master knows I'm on the 'Demon Realm Canyon' mission?"

Minghai was surprised for a moment, then realized that the Nine Swords Venerable had been concerned about him all along. With the authority of a Universe Venerable, he probably couldn't hide any of his whereabouts from him.

Feeling somewhat grateful, Minghai shook his head, separated a wisp of his consciousness, entered the virtual universe, and accepted the video request from the Nine Swords Venerable.

brush!
A holographic projection of the Nine Swords Master in his cyan battle robe appeared before me.

"You want to do the 'Demon Realm Canyon' quest, which is of the highest difficulty level?"

The Nine Swords Venerable, with a solemn expression, said:
“Disciple, although you are quite strong, it is still too dangerous for you to go to the ‘Demon Realm Canyon’ to carry out a mission rashly!”

"Master, don't worry!"

Minghai replied respectfully:

"I have a life-saving method similar to creating a clone. Although the 'Demon Realm Canyon' is terrifying, at worst I will fail the mission, but I will not be in danger of dying!"

"A life-saving technique similar to creating a clone?"

Upon hearing this, the Nine Swords Venerable was first surprised, then laughed:

"It's good that you have confidence. Remember, while cosmic-level missions have benefits, don't be greedy. Be careful to keep things in check!"

"Disciple understands, thank you for the reminder, Master!"

Minghai replied respectfully.
