Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 163 A True or False Encounter
Deep within the seventh level of the Time-Space Prison, in a bubble world.

At the summit of a rolling iceberg, an inconspicuous figure was hidden behind the ice blocks, his eyes darting around into the distant void, clearly seeing hundreds of millions of kilometers away.

"This place is already very close to the eighth level of the Abyss. The spacetime tides are extremely violent. Even if we, who are at the limit of the King level, stay here for a long time, our divine bodies will be continuously damaged."

The figure's eyes flashed. "Unless the Blood Glass King's world ring is filled with treasures that restore divine power, he will definitely try his best to travel through the small worlds. Hmph, we have already arranged people to monitor the 63 small worlds in the direction the Blood Glass King might travel. I don't believe we can't find out your whereabouts, Blood Glass King!"

The blurry figure lurked in the shadows, its aura seemingly blending into the surrounding ice without dissipating in the slightest.

Suddenly, his gaze paused slightly, and a startling light flashed in his sapphire-like pupils—

At the edge of this small world, at the end of its vision, a ferocious beast covered in blood-red scale armor, with a body like a snake but four hooves, a deer's head, and a long beard, suddenly tore through the world's membrane and entered this world.

The crimson beast moved swiftly forward, and after confirming that there were no other living beings around, it plunged headlong into the glacial continent below and lay dormant.

"That's... the Blood Glass King! He really appeared! And I discovered him!"

At the summit of the iceberg, the hidden, blurry figure's pupils widened, revealing an intensely excited light.

"We can't act rashly. This Blood Glass King was able to easily escape from more than a dozen peak-level Kings before. I definitely can't stop him on my own. I have to call someone!"

The blurry figure stirred, and a message was quickly sent out through the faction's communication channels—

"The Blood Glass King has appeared in world No. 0.11164. It seems he is recovering his divine body. Come quickly!"

The message was immediately met with a flood of replies.

"What? They've found the Blood King? Great! We're on our way!"

"Haha, King Piancan, you've done a great job! As long as you keep an eye on that Blood Glass King, you can keep 10% of the spoils after it's all done!"

"King Piancan, don't rush to attack. Keep an eye on him until we arrive!"

"Don't worry, everyone. Our clan is extremely skilled in stealth and tracking. I will keep an eye on him!"

The blurry figure replied with a single sentence, then continued to focus on lying in wait.

His gaze was fixed on the distant glacial land.

His detectors did not detect any signs of life, but he was absolutely certain that beneath that glacial land, a figure that had captured the attention of countless powerful individuals was lurking in the shadows.

"Blood King, you've leaped directly from an ordinary peak King to a level where you can easily kill Kings at their limit. It seems you gained quite a bit from that native spaceship!"

"There are rumors that you obtained a great treasure from it. I don't know if it's true. If it is, even the strongest players in the Ninth Battlefield will probably be uneasy. However, even if they know, it's too late. We've already gotten there first!"

The blurry figure lurked, silently awaiting the arrival of its allies.

Sudden--

"Drip! Drip! Drip!"

The detector's alarm started beeping wildly, and countless red dots suddenly appeared on the detector's screen.

"Ah, this is..."

The blurry figure looked up, its eyes immediately filled with utter horror!
In the void near the horizon, a pyramid-shaped Zerg hive, over ten kilometers high, suddenly appeared, and countless ferocious golden Zerg warriors flew out rapidly.

There were thousands of ferocious figures, each over thirty meters tall, their bodies resembling countless suits of armor, with beetle-like wings and dragonfly-like compound eyes.

The aura emanating from thousands of figures caused the surrounding space to tremble.

"A Zerg hive, an Immortal-level Zerg hive! Good heavens!"

The blurry figure, the big child in his heart, even pushed his talent to the limit, all the aura around him was restrained, and even the fluctuations of his life aura were suppressed to the extreme, as if he had completely transformed into a dead block of ice!

An Immortal-level Zerg hive is said to be invincible below the level of a Cosmic Sovereign, and is absolutely a terrifying term in the universe!
A small group of Zerg warriors from the Zerg hive could easily melt him into nothingness with a combined attack!
"Why did the Zerg suddenly appear? Oh no, they're going to beat us to it!" The blurry figure was still thinking about the treasure in the Blood King's hand.

His thoughts flashed by in an instant. The moment he discovered the Zerg hive and the Zerg warriors, a high-pitched and piercing sound wave emanated from the Zerg hive and swept across the surrounding area!
Stimulated by the sound waves, all the Zerg warriors roared. Thousands of golden humanoid beetle warriors opened their mouths, and a sharp, glass-tube-like mouthpart about 30 centimeters in diameter suddenly emitted a blinding white light.

"laugh!"

Thousands of golden insectoid warriors, each 30 meters tall and resembling legendary demon gods, simultaneously unleashed a blinding white beam of light from their mouthparts. These thousands of white beams of light converged at a single point high in the sky!
The coordination of thousands of powerful Zerg warriors was almost like that of a single person.

When thousands of white beams of light converge at a single point—

"Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!"

The world space at that point suddenly trembled and exploded, revealing the terrifying spatial turbulence, with various chaotic fragmented and layered spatial currents surging.

at the same time!

Centered on that point, an unimaginable and terrifying shock spread directly in all directions, both above and below ground!

In an instant, it was like a supernova explosion!
boom!
A dazzling, colossal sphere of light, tens of millions of kilometers in diameter, erupted violently, silently tearing apart the incredibly hard glacial continent. The entire bubble world seemed to shake, as if it were about to collapse.

"Rumble rumble rumble~~~~"

The world trembled!

The space is shattered!

It's like the end of the world!
"It's over. It seems the treasure in Blood Glass King's hands is going to be snatched away by the Zerg!" The blurry figure of King Piancan sighed inwardly upon seeing this.

However, at that moment, something that shocked him to the extreme happened!

Amidst the intense shockwaves that spewed towards the glacial continent, a streak of crimson light broke through the endless explosions and soared into the sky!

"Whoosh!"

The crimson light swirled in the void, transforming into the figure of a four-hoofed, deer-headed beast covered in crimson scale armor.

On its scaled armor, crimson light surged continuously, like flowing magma, and an incredibly terrifying aura spread wildly, as if an ancient behemoth was reviving!
"Haha, Zerg Queen, your attacks are like tickling me!"

The four-hoofed, deer-headed beast swung its tail violently, causing large sections of space within the small world to shatter. The spatial torrent surged and crashed, causing the hordes of immortal insectoid warriors to sway.

"Haha, I don't have time to play with you, I'm leaving now!"

Having done all this, the four-hoofed deer-headed beast unleashed its speed, breaking through the membrane of the small world almost in the blink of an eye and rushing directly into the endless spacetime tides outside.

By the time the Zerg Queen gathered all her Zerg warriors and prepared to give chase, the four-hoofed, deer-headed beast had already vanished from her perception range.

"He escaped. Is it a priceless treasure?"

A soft, alluring murmur echoed gently above the glacial continent, while the pyramid-shaped Zerg hive entered the world ring of a black-armored, triangular humanoid figure.

The black-armored, triangular humanoid figure glanced casually toward the summit of the iceberg before quickly passing through the world membrane and leaving.

The entire little world returned to peace.

After a long while, the blurry figure hidden atop the iceberg cautiously peeked out.

"Finally gone! Thank goodness, thank goodness we weren't targeted by that Zerg Queen!"

The blurry figure rode alongside the king and let out a long sigh of relief.

However, his face immediately showed an extremely solemn expression.

"The Blood King actually survived the combined attack of thousands of immortal insectoid warriors, and he even seems to have suffered only minor damage to his divine body. It seems the rumors are true."

He was so shocked by the combined attack of the Zerg Queen that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets!
The Immortal Zerg hive is said to be invincible below the Cosmic Sovereign, and that's no exaggeration!

An Immortal Zerg hive can control up to ten thousand Immortal Zerg warriors to launch attacks imbued with the power of laws simultaneously!
Ten thousand Zerg warriors who wielded the power of the laws of nature had all their attack power perfectly concentrated at one point, and the destructive power they unleashed was simply unimaginable!
If that attack had been slightly off course, someone at the pinnacle of his power would have been melted into nothingness!

In the entire Ninth Battlefield, it's estimated that only a few 'pseudo-king-level invincible' individuals of the same level who wield powerful treasures could possibly survive such an attack!

And what did he just see?
That demon king, Blood Glass King, was at most a slightly stronger King-level expert, yet he withstood a combined attack from the Immortal Insectoid Nest and survived, appearing quite vigorous. This was simply unbelievable!
"That Blood King's armor!"

The blurry figure of the King of the Parade recalled the blood-red armor on the four-hoofed, deer-headed beast.
"Rumor has it that the armor worn by the Blood Glass King is a great treasure. Many people didn't believe it before, but now it seems to be true! If it weren't a great treasure, how could the Blood Glass King have survived the combined attack controlled by the Immortal Zerg hive!"

"A treasure! I want it too, but the Blood Glass King survived the combined attack of the Immortal Zerg warrior legion. He's far beyond what we Limit-of-Kings can handle. Forget it, I'll contact the Heavenly Emperor King instead. I can at least gain a favor."

Little did they know that while King Piancan was busy contacting his own powerful allies, the news that King Xueli had withstood an attack from an Immortal-level Zerg Queen and successfully escaped had already spread rapidly within the Immortal King circles active in the Time-Space Prison of various factions!
"What?! They withstood the combined attack of the Immortal Legion of the Immortal-level Zerg, and were almost completely unharmed!"

"Good heavens, are you kidding me? I could believe it if you said it was the 'Overlord Bell King' of the demon race, but this Blood Glass King is at most a little stronger than an ordinary King at the limit, and he wasn't known for his defense before. It can't be this outrageous!"

"What do you know? It's already been confirmed that the armor worn by the Blood King is a treasured armor; otherwise, how could it have such defensive power!"

"A great treasure! Yes, it must be a great treasure! I didn't quite believe it before, but now it seems true. It's a pity I'm too far away to get there in time. By the way, inform my clan's Heavenly Drive King."

The Seventh Level of Hell, in a certain small world.

Hidden in a cave in a certain mountain range, the Blood Glass King, who was watched by countless immortal kings, was seizing the time to absorb treasures and restore his divine power.

At this point, it can no longer afford to save money, because if it continues to save, it may not even have the chance to use these things!
"Damn it, how did these people get so attached to me? Why are they chasing after me like this!"

"We're almost at the edge of the eighth level of the Abyss. If we keep running, there'll be no way out!"

"Should we ask the clan for help? No, no, I am just a minor branch of the clan. If we ask for help, even if we manage to escape in the end, we may not be able to keep such a treasure in our hands... We must not ask for help unless absolutely necessary!"

"Does this mean we have to risk entering the eighth level of the Hell and taking a detour...? If we have this, perhaps we'll have a chance..."

Soon after, the Blood Glass King's divine power was fully restored. After carefully examining the surroundings with a detector, it cautiously emerged from its hiding place and quickly flew towards the small world's membrane.

"Let's continue to move closer to the eighth area. The environment here is getting more and more dangerous, which should make many people want to back out. Then we may have a chance to escape."

"Roar, which bastard is plotting against me from behind? Damn it, damn it, I'll find you sooner or later and completely enslave your soul, so you won't even be able to die!"

As Blood King flew, he roared and cursed in his heart.

Suddenly, just as it was about to reach the membrane of this small world, a silver crack silently opened on the hazy membrane in front of it.

Immediately afterwards, a blood-red figure darted directly into the crack.

The figure was covered in blood-red armor, scales, a serpentine body, four hooves, a deer's head, and long whiskers.
That image was exactly the same as his own?
In just a moment, all the doubts that had been troubling it were resolved!
At that moment, the Blood King felt a surge of heat rush to his head!

"Aaaaah, you scum, you damn scum, how dare you show your face right in front of me!"
