Swallowing the Stars: Heart of the Martial God

Chapter 31 Great Void Technique
"No, this kid has merged into the void." A sharp-eyed and meticulous expert finally noticed the clue.

"Impossible. To merge into the void, one must at least possess a high-level understanding of spatial laws at the King level, and only by following the 'teleportation' method. Moreover, there would be obvious spatial fluctuations. How could a mere stellar-level being possibly enter it?"

"That's right. Although it's not obvious, you can still see it if you look closely. There are indeed spatial fluctuations. But how did he do that?"

"Even a high-ranking king cannot hide in the void; he can usually only merge into the void when he uses teleportation."

As if to prove his words, Ling Xuan appeared in the center of the Tuoluo warriors' battle formation in the next second. His three-pointed double-edged sword spun around him, and streaks of fiery sword light slashed out like waves. One Tuoluo warrior after another was instantly killed by Ling Xuan without any warning.

"Could it be that he has mastered teleportation?"

Someone next to him suddenly pinched him.

"What are you doing? Ouch!" The person glared at him in pain.

"It's good that it hurts; if it hurts, then it's not a dream."

"If you want to verify whether you're dreaming, can't you just pinch yourself?"

"No, I'm telling you, you're not dreaming. How could a stellar-level being comprehend teleportation? Don't overthink it." The man shrugged, looking completely innocent.

The remaining Tuoluo warriors suddenly realized what was happening and charged at Ling Xuan again, their spear beams, composed of the laws of metal, aimed at his position.

However, Ling Xuan's voice and figure disappeared from the spot again without warning, not only causing their attack to fail, but also affecting the other Tuoluo warriors.

The entire battle formation of the Tuoluo warriors was instantly destroyed.

brush~
Ling Xuan's figure reappeared, and he unleashed another slash.

Even though the Tuoluo warriors were prepared this time, they still couldn't figure out how Ling Xuan appeared and were killed without any chance to fight back.

"The Great Void Technique allows me to merge with the void, which is comparable to the power of a King-level Immortal. How could the Tuoluo warriors possibly find out now?" Ling Xuan hid in the void, watching the Tuoluo warriors search for him everywhere and secretly sneered.

"Chance."

Ling Xuan discovered a weakness in a group of Tuoluo warriors, instantly crossed the void to appear among them, and swiftly slashed out with his three-pointed double-edged sword, instantly eliminating his opponents before continuing his escape.

In the ensuing battle, the Tuoluo warriors were defeated one by one by Ling Xuan using his unpredictable Void Technique.

"Ling Xuan has entered the fourth floor."

As Ling Xuan's points skyrocketed, the geniuses of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom exclaimed in astonishment.

"So what? Cao Benqi has already entered the fourth level, and he's not far from breaking through to the fourth level now."

In the fourth level, the Flying Hou, a strange beast whose defenses were not as tight as those of the Tuoluo warriors, was quickly dealt with by Ling Xuan.

Before one can comprehend the profound mysteries of the void, the Great Void Technique will always be the fastest way to break through group attacks, not to mention that these individual beasts are far from being a match for Ling Xuan.

Cao Benqi and Ling Xuan once again stepped into the fifth floor, one after the other.

"They actually managed to catch up." Cao Benqi glanced at the leaderboard during a break, but instead of the expected runaway lead, he found that annoying name right behind him.

“Since that’s the case, then I won’t hold back anymore.” Cao Benqi’s eyes flashed. “I’ll show you what despair is. You’ll try your best but still not be able to see my back.”

After speaking, Cao Benqi's aura suddenly surged. If there were a combat power detector at this moment, the combat power index of Cao Benqi on the detector would definitely be soaring.

Undeterred by the attack of a hundred mechanical puppets, he charged straight in.

"Look, Cao Benqi's points are increasing at an even faster rate again."

"What? Wasn't that his limit just now?"

"Is this the peerless genius who appears only once every hundred million epochs? The realm we can only imagine is actually just the tip of the iceberg of his strength."

"The gap is too big, does Ling Xuan still have any hope?"

At the same time, facing 100 eight-meter-tall silver humanoid mechanical puppets and the mechanical experimental base, Ling Xuan launched another attack. The mechanical puppets' beams, a saturation bombardment, were originally an extremely terrifying force at this level.

But in front of Ling Xuan, who was fused with the void, it was as if he were in an empty place—no, it was an empty place.

Those laser cannons couldn't even touch him, allowing him to easily approach the war puppets and kill them with a single strike.

The pressure from a hundred mechanical puppets was even less than that from the defensive formation of the metal life form Tuoluo warriors. In fact, sometimes, in order to strike Ling Xuan, the bombardment by these mechanical puppets would accidentally injure friendly forces.

The final mechanical experimental base was naturally no match for him; he easily invaded and destroyed it using the Great Void Technique.

Fifth floor cleared!

"They're one after the other again, and the race between the two isn't over yet. It's still unknown who will win this race."

Upon entering the sixth level of the trial space, Ling Xuan suddenly stopped.

Before them lay a desolate, red wasteland, with broken meteorites embedded among the gravel, and ten enormous, dark golden creatures perched at the boundary between heaven and earth.

Its body, which is 300 meters long, is like a floating mountain range. Its dark golden scales gleam with a cold metallic luster, and the sharp protrusions on its back reflect a cold light in the sunlight.

When the leading behemoth raised its head, the bloodthirsty light surging in its triangular pupils caused the air in the entire wasteland to freeze into frost.

The giant beast on the far left was the first to attack, its hundred-meter-long tail sweeping across the land. Spatial laws condensed into a golden blade at the tip of its tail, and wherever it passed, the earth was plowed into trenches a thousand meters deep.

Ling Xuan's figure flashed, and ripples spread across the void around him. He disappeared into the void like an ink droplet merging into water.

The next second, he emerged from the void behind the giant beast, his three-pointed double-edged sword, wreathed in burning waves, slashing horizontally at the gaps in its scales.

However, the moment the blade struck the dark gold scales, the sparks that erupted bounced off like bullets, creating a deep crater in the ground.

It is evident that this cosmic behemoth is incredibly powerful. Even in a one-on-one fight, Ling Xuan might not be able to gain the upper hand. If it weren't for the elusive nature of the Great Void Technique, which prevented these creatures from catching him, he would probably have been defeated in a single round.

Ling Xuan did not back down; instead, his fighting spirit was ignited.

He used the Great Void Technique to move freely through the void, constantly searching for the giant beast's weaknesses.

The second behemoth sensed the threat and opened its massive maw, spewing out a golden beam of light that distorted and shattered space wherever it passed.

Ling Xuan transformed into a phantom, stabbing diagonally out from the void. With a flash of light, a deep wound was slashed into the giant beast's left eye.

The third behemoth roared in fury, stomping its four hooves on the ground, instantly causing countless golden spikes to rise from the earth.

Ling Xuan constantly shifted his position in the void, causing the giant beast's attacks to miss time and time again.

He seized the opportunity, emerged from the belly of the giant beast, and unleashed a powerful horizontal slash, slicing off several of the dark golden scales to reveal the dark red flesh beneath.

However, these injuries were only minor for the cosmic behemoth.

They have an extremely strong self-healing ability, and wounds begin to heal very quickly.

Ling Xuan understood that he had to find a more effective way to attack.

He began to observe the fighting habits and weaknesses of each giant beast, discovering that their eyes, abdomen, and joints were relatively vulnerable.

In the ensuing battle, Ling Xuan made full use of the advantages of the Great Void Technique to defeat the enemies one by one.

He first used the Dragon's Body Technique to create multiple illusory bodies to distract the giant beast, then his true form suddenly disappeared into the void, before unexpectedly attacking its weak point.

One head, two heads, three heads.

"Cao Benqi was still ahead, reaching the seventh floor first. He seemed to have no bottlenecks, and the star beasts of the seventh trial tower were powerless against him."

I'm asking for votes, to read further, to comment, to add to my favorites, and anything that can increase its popularity.
