Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 82 The Ultimate Battle, The Demon King's End (Part Two)

"Whoosh~"

A sphere of golden liquid that kept twisting and changing bursted out from the hole in the dilapidated wall of the Red Leaf Star Defense Department, and then flew into the sky at an extremely fast speed.

The speed of the bumblebee, which had already reached the Domain Lord level, was incredibly fast. In just a few seconds, it carried the ninth-level Domain Lord elder with curved horns out of the atmosphere of Red Leaf Star!

Moments later, in a deserted starry sky tens of thousands of kilometers away from Red Leaf Star.

"call!"

A black-haired youth wielding a dark blue-black Force sword suddenly appeared in the vast starry sky.

Immediately afterwards, the golden liquid 'eggshell' that enveloped the old man with the curved horns flowed rapidly and rolled back, instantly transforming into a suit of brilliant golden armor with countless mysterious patterns on the black-haired youth's body.

At this moment, the old man with the curved horn, who had finally regained his freedom, suddenly focused his gaze on the black-haired youth!
"Domain Lord level? Where did this Domain Lord level person come from! And that metallic life form, could it be his?"

A very ominous feeling quickly rose in his heart; it was an instinctive intuition he had developed over nearly a million years of cautious survival!
His gaze swept over Qi Yuan repeatedly, but a strong sense of vigilance rose in his heart.

"Who are you, and why are you attacking me?"

The old man with the curved horn, who is none other than Nassia, the Dark Lord who has caused endless turmoil and panic in the surrounding starry sky in recent years, stared at the black-haired youth in front of him cautiously and asked questions, while also silently preparing to escape.

He was a very cautious person who valued his life. After all, if he didn't value his life, he wouldn't have chosen to endure hundreds of thousands of years of hardship instead of daring to fight on the battlefield outside the realm.

Seeing that things were deviating from the original plan, the Dark Lord, who valued his life, naturally did not want to get entangled any longer.

"A domain lord working with a metal lifeform probably won't be able to take him down in a short time. Let's leave first and look for another opportunity later."

Without waiting for Qi Yuan's reply, he suddenly sprang up and retreated rapidly.

As a ninth-level Domain Lord, he was very confident in his speed burst. As long as he created distance, he could easily release a spaceship and leave!
But looking at his actions, Qi Yuan revealed a mocking smile.

"We lured you here because we were afraid you would try to escape in a spaceship from the start. Now you still want to run away?"

"Shu~"

His figure swayed slightly, leaving a series of lifelike afterimages trailing behind him.
His true form had already appeared directly above the old man with the curved horns!

"laugh--"

The dark blue battle blade, accompanied by a dazzling flash of lightning, cleaved down from his neck in an instant.

"Pfft~"

Before the old man with the curved horn could react, his head was smashed into a mangled mess by the raging lightning energy.

However, his lower body took the opportunity to fall quickly and break free.

During this process, the power of the domain lord within his body surged continuously, and his shattered head was restored to its original state in the blink of an eye!

"Kid, I'm about to leave, what else do you want to do!"

As the old man with the curved horn, Nasia, quickly created distance, he angrily shouted at Qi Yuan through telepathy.

"What do I want to do?"

Qi Yuan scoffed upon hearing this, "I'd like to ask you what you're up to! Sneaking into my territory and attacking my disciples, you think you can leave without giving me an explanation?"

Without pausing, he moved slightly and attacked Narcia again.

An invisible wave seemed to be swirling around his body, making his speed seem to break through the limitations of time!

"Shu~"

A series of blurry afterimages flashed by, and Qi Yuan's figure appeared in front of Naxia almost instantly.

"Chichi~~~"

The dark blue battle blade was surrounded by invisible fluctuations, its trajectory becoming blurred and unclear.

"puff!"

This time, a bright flash of light appeared, directly cleaving the old man with the curved horns in two from the shoulder down.

At the same time, the terrifying energy contained within the blade's light began to scatter and flow in all directions, attempting to find and destroy the life core within the opponent's body.

Before the terrifying energy within the blade could fully erupt, the lower half of the old man's body automatically exploded into two pieces.

A dark, scaly thigh, covered in scale-like keratinous skin, narrowly escaped being swept away by the terrifying time energy.

"Huhuhu~~~"

The blue light on the severed thigh surged continuously, and in the blink of an eye, it returned to the appearance of the old man with curved horns, Nasia.

However, his aura became extremely weak at this moment, and a look of fear appeared directly on his face.

Twice in a row, once he was shot in the head and once he was cut in half at the waist. If he hadn't been so skilled in self-preservation, he probably would have perished just now!

"How could this be? Why? Why? Even with the assistance of a Domain Lord-level metallic life form, how can a mere first-tier Domain Lord be so strong? I didn't even have a chance to fight back!" "Spare me! Spare me! Please, let me go! I... I'm willing to serve you! Yes, I'm a ninth-tier Domain Lord! Let me serve you!"

The old man with the curved horn only hesitated for a moment before he started begging for mercy in a very unseemly manner.

Yes, a ninth-level Domain Lord didn't even have the courage to fight back, and instead began begging for mercy from a first-level Domain Lord without hesitation.

If the subordinates within the Blood Sun Star's sphere of influence were to see Lord Nasia, the Black Demon King, who was usually aloof and represented a powerful image of bloodshed, brutality, and inviolability, in such a humble and cowardly posture, what would they think?

Qi Yuan didn't know what those people were thinking, but looking at the old man with the curved horns in this posture, he felt nothing but utter disgust.

In order to deal with this unsettling neighbor, he had been gathering a lot of information about him through Samonka's connections at the Cosmic Galaxy Bank.

The more he searched, the more he felt this person deserved to die!
Things like selling hundreds of millions of people into slavery, secretly plotting against and seizing the power of small families and merchant groups are considered mild offenses.

Over the years, in his efforts to extend his lifespan and gain time for breakthroughs, he has employed a variety of shocking methods.

He even tried superstitious practices that circulated among mortals, such as using the hearts and livers of infants as medicine and eating young boys and girls.

Given his status and strength as a ninth-level domain lord, if he were to become addicted to these things, the amount of bloodshed he would cause would be thousands or even tens of thousands of times greater than that of the Lion Camel Ridge members in his previous life's "Journey to the West"!

What angered Qi Yuan even more was that, simply because all the aforementioned acts occurred within his own territory, and the victims were his 'subjects' and his 'private property,' all these acts of brutality went unpunished!

It must be said that the world of Swallowed Star is truly an extremely fragmented world.

There are countless powerful figures who fight and struggle for their people, shining brightly, but there are also gloomy darkness like that of Narcissus, who shrouds a region.

Qi Yuan didn't want to waste any words on this kind of person at this moment.

He raised the dark blue battle blade in his hand, and purple lightning arcs twisted and swirled on the blade, while an invisible wave instantly enveloped it.

"Die."

He gently swung his sword, and instantly, streaks of dark sword light carrying purple lightning arcs seemed to appear out of thin air from all directions.

Layer upon layer of sword light swept in like an endless storm of sword light, instantly engulfing Nasia, who resembled an old man with curved horns!
Upon seeing this scene, Narcissus, who had been begging for mercy, felt an overwhelming sense of despair.

But beneath this extreme despair, a touch of madness also arises.

"Why, why won't you let me live? If I have to die, then we'll all die together!"

The old man with the curved horn looked deranged. At the same time, his two primal force crystals and soul crystals in his life core shattered and burned silently!
Powerful souls and primal energy intertwined and rapidly condensed into a streak of crimson light.

"Die, die, die together! Hahaha, death is liberation!"

"Hey~"

Amidst the frantic shouts, the old man with the curved horn surged forward, instantly breaking free from the range of the storm of sword light.

At the same time, a streak of blood-red light shot directly through his chest and abdomen, striking Qi Yuan in the chest before he could react.

"boom!"

A powerful burst of energy erupted, instantly engulfing Qi Yuan.

At the same time, an invisible energy, like a sharp thorn, rapidly penetrated into the location of his soul crystal.

However, although the invisible spike did find the location where his soul crystal was hidden, it crashed head-on into an invisible 'Heart Abyss Barrier' that resembled ripples on water.

The Heart Abyss Barrier fluctuated rapidly like flowing water, quickly dispersing and annihilating the energy contained in the invisible spikes.

"Boom~"

The first layer of the Heart Abyss Barrier was penetrated; however, a large portion of the energy on the invisible spikes had already been consumed.

Immediately afterwards, the second, third, and fourth layers of the Heart Abyss Barrier shattered one after another, and the energy on the invisible spikes was continuously consumed.

When they reached the 50th layer of the Heart Abyss Barrier, the invisible spikes, which had become almost imperceptible, were completely shattered and annihilated into nothingness.

Behind them, there were still hundreds of layers of the Heart Abyss Barrier.
"Whoo~"

Qi Yuan waved his hand, and the energy fluctuations surrounding his body instantly calmed down.

The golden armor with its mystical patterns on his body constantly lit up and then faded away, yet it remained completely undamaged.

"I didn't expect this Dark Lord to have such a hidden trick up his sleeve—a fusion attack of soul and primal force. It sounds like the nascent form of a World Lord-level world power. Even an ordinary ninth-tier Domain Lord might not be able to withstand it."

However, Qi Yuan's body has a special metal life protection that reaches the ninth level of the Domain Lord, and his soul also has a Heart Abyss Barrier of more than 300 layers. In addition, after consuming the Soul Refining Fruit, his soul power is more than ten times stronger and more resilient than that of ordinary people of the same level.

Therefore, such an attack was nothing to him.

He looked at the Black Demon King's corpse, now just an 'outer shell,' which was floating not far away, and a vague, unreal feeling rose in his heart.

The powerful ninth-tier Domain Lord, the 'Black Demon King,' who had caused countless chaos and panic, was so easily provoked and killed here, without even the difficult battle he had imagined occurring.
The process went almost too smoothly.
"It seems this Dark Lord is so afraid of death that he's lost his mind."

Qi Yuan sighed in disbelief, then without lingering, he waved his hand to collect the Black Demon King's corpse and quickly returned towards Maple Moon Star.
