Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 234 Mutation
As he spoke, Qing Tonghou felt somewhat uneasy.

This human can impersonate a realm lord, so most likely, like it, he possesses some kind of treasure that can alter one's aura. He might even actually be a powerful king-level expert.

While it's somewhat unbelievable that a dignified immortal king could be disguised as a realm lord and hidden within an adventure team led by an immortal military lord, it's not entirely impossible.

After all, if a Marquis-level expert can disguise himself as an ordinary Immortal, why can't a King-level expert disguise himself as a Realm Lord?

The cautious Marquis Qingtong dared not be careless.

Minghai fell silent, his body enveloped in profound laws, and with a leap, he transformed into a bolt of lightning, rushing towards Qingtonghou.

brush!
The obsidian sword sliced ​​through the void, emitting a sharp sword light that covered a thousand kilometers of starry sky.

Minghai was not confident of killing Qingtonghou, but at this moment he was filled with anger and fighting spirit, and he was determined to fight.

Having adventured alongside Walton's team for ten years, even with a cold heart, a deep friendship has been forged over the years. Now that four of his teammates have been killed, how could he not be furious?
In addition, Qing Tong Hou, who possesses a thousand vines at the peak of the military lord level, is of comparable strength to him and is the best opponent for battle, not to be missed.

In any case, the Underworld will not allow the Azure-Eyed Marquis to leave.

"You think I'm afraid of you?"

Seeing that Minghai was relentless, Qingtonghou roared angrily, spread his wings, and his huge body dodged the attack as if by teleportation. With a slight flap of his wings, he charged back from the side, his jade spear locking onto the void and fiercely thrusting forward.

at the same time.

Azure vines, burning with raging golden flames, arrived from all directions, with over a thousand vines crisscrossing and surrounding the Nether Sea.

Whoosh whoosh! ! !
Countless vines flashed and spun around...

The thousand vines burning with divine power, each long vine's attack is comparable to an immortal's move, its power immense and not to be underestimated.

Although the scale of the battlefield limited the ability of more than a thousand vines to attack simultaneously, five or six vines could still join the attack at any time, which was equivalent to Minghai fighting five or six people by himself.

Despite this, Minghai fought with increasing ferocity, his movements as swift as the wind, his obsidian sword flashing like lightning as he clashed with Qing Tonghou and Qianzhu Teng.

The two sides clashed countless times, the power of the laws reverberating through the void, and the battle grew increasingly fierce.

Boom boom boom!
The obsidian sword swept across, its power boundless, forcing back even the sharp jade spear and the thorny vines, preventing them from getting close.

Countless vines were severed, their fragments flying everywhere. Some merged with the branches and were restored to their original state, but others were completely destroyed, losing their vitality and unable to integrate with the main trunk.

Although the secret technique was only of the 'low-level' grade, its power was extremely terrifying when driven by 10 times the power of a peak world lord, and each sword strike could destroy an ordinary immortal divine body.

The strength of the Thousand Vines lies in their enormous size, abundant divine power, and tenacious vitality, but their life level is only ordinary immortality; they do not possess an immortal body and cannot withstand such terrifying destructive power.

Therefore, not long after the battle began, many vines completely lost their vitality and could not recover.

However, compared to its enormous body spanning 100,000 kilometers, this damage was negligible for the Thousand Vine, and its combat power remained completely unaffected.

The battle lasted for a long time.

Neither Qing Tonghou nor Qianzhu Teng could do anything to Minghai.

Conversely, the same applies to the Underworld Sea; it can't do anything about the Azure-Eyed Marquis and the Thousand Vine.

In particular, the Thousand Vines attack everywhere, each strike incredibly sharp, posing a great threat to the Underworld Sea.

The thousand vines burning with divine power are equivalent to thousands of Marquis-level Immortals. Even if these thousand Marquis-level Immortals were to fight bare-handed without weapons, their combined strength would be comparable to that of a peak Marquis.

After fighting for so long, apart from cutting off some branches that were insignificant to the Thousand Vine, the Underworld Sea has achieved nothing.

Actually, he still has one more trick up his sleeve.

World Projection!

Given the sheer size of the Dark Sea's inner world, spanning trillions of kilometers in diameter, once projected, it would exert a significant restraint on the Azure-Eyed Marquis's Thousand Vine Trees, thus giving him the upper hand.

But doing so is pointless. Even if he projects his inner world, he won't be able to kill Qing Tong Hou; on the contrary, it will expose his identity as a genius world lord.

The three major hostile races—the Machine Race, the Zerg Race, and the Demon Race—all offer high bounties for human geniuses!
Killing a human genius realm lord whose combat power is comparable to a peak Marquis Immortal would yield rewards that would make a King Immortal envious, and would definitely attract countless alien powerhouses from the outer battlefield.

In fact, the combat power that Minghai displayed was enough for the alien powerhouses to see that he was a genius world lord of the human race.

However, because Qing Tonghou possessed a treasure that could alter one's aura, he presumptuously assumed that Ming Hai, like himself, was a human marquis disguised as a realm lord, and he didn't consider that possibility.

If Minghai were to use the World Projection at this moment, Qingtonghou would surely realize that this is the greatest crisis for Minghai.

Therefore, the Underworld never considered using the World Projection.

"Continuing to fight is pointless!"

Looking at the numerous lifeless vines and branches around him, unable to return to the Thousand Vine Tree, Qing Tong Hou felt a pang of heartache and couldn't help but say:
"Humans, we'll fight again later!"

Although the destroyed vines were only a small part of the thousands of vines that stretched for 100,000 kilometers, the increasing number of losses meant that the difficulty of restoration would gradually increase, so Qing Tong Hou was naturally unwilling to continue the fight.

brush!
Minghai ignored them, his sword light growing ever sharper as he launched a relentless and frenzied attack on Qingtonghou and Qianzhuteng.

At this moment, he was filled with inspiration, his mind was filled with profound laws, and all sorts of ingenious ideas were emerging. His secret techniques were on the verge of breakthrough, and his desire to fight was strong. Why would he pay attention to Qing Tong Hou's suggestion to stop the war?

"madman!"

Seeing that Minghai showed no signs of stopping, and that more and more of the Thousand Vine branches were being cut off and completely destroyed, Qing Tonghou felt extremely distressed. He cursed inwardly and decided to retreat and stop fighting.

'whoosh'

He transmitted his voice through his soul, instructing the Thousand Vine to hold back the Nether Sea. Qing Tong Hou then flashed away and flew back, turning around to fly towards the head of the Thousand Vine.

The thousand vines are 100,000 kilometers tall and have more than a thousand tendrils that are hundreds of thousands of kilometers long. Only five or six tendrils actually participate in the battle. With the thousand vines around, Lord Qingtong can retreat at any time.

It didn't retreat earlier only because it didn't want to save face for a powerful Marquis. Now that it's taking the initiative to retreat, the Underworld Sea can't stop it.

Once he reaches the top of the Thousand Vine Trees, he can instantly retract the Thousand Vine Trees into his World Ring, and at the same time take out a demon race spaceship equivalent to a human race F-class spaceship, easily escaping.

however.

At that moment, the situation suddenly changed.

'boom'

The long, blue vines that had been relentlessly stabbing at the Dark Sea suddenly snapped off in unison, turning into dust and scattering into the starry sky, devoid of life.

brush!
A stunning sword light flashed, crisscrossing and blocking the void, turning the hundreds of vines that had trapped the Nether Sea into dust.

"what?"

Through the connection of souls, Qing Tong Hou felt the agonizing cries emanating from the Thousand Vine itself. He turned around and saw this scene, his eyes widening instantly.

"This power has already surpassed the combat strength of a Marquis-level Immortal..."

His pupils contracted, and Qing Tonghou was startled, thinking to himself:

"Could it be that this despicable human, who was granted the title of Marquis Immortal, broke through to the title of King Immortal just before the battle?"

While breakthroughs in the face of battle are rare, they often occur during life-or-death experiences, especially on overseas battlefields where the mortality rate exceeds 95%.

Having lived for hundreds of thousands of epochs, Qing Tong Hou had witnessed many such phenomena and immediately thought of this.

"Oops!"

Qing Tong Hou was shocked and hurriedly ordered Thousand Vine to split off its vines to snipe at Ming Hai while joining him. At the same time, he increased his speed and flew towards the main trunk of Thousand Vine.
