Swallowing the Stars: Ten Thousand Times Return for Taking on Disciples

Chapter 16 The Law of Return: Purchasing Planets

"Om-"

A beam of blood-red light, radiating a terrifying aura, shot towards Leiming as if teleporting, its speed exceeding Leiming's reaction limit.

"puff!"

Lei Ming barely had time to turn to the side before the streak of blood pierced through his left shoulder.

A cold, violent force, seemingly capable of eroding the soul, instantly invaded the body, bringing with it intense pain and weakness.

"Ah!" Lei Ming groaned in pain, clutching his bleeding shoulder, his face deathly pale.

"I bought this poisoned Bloodlight Sword over two thousand years ago, just waiting for someone to die. Today, no one can save you!"

To Lei Ming's astonishment, Modi's muscles suddenly bulged, and his blood-red longsword slashed down fiercely.

"boom!"

As if struck by a star, Lei Ming almost lost his grip on the Thunder Blade, and was sent flying like a broken sack, crashing into the mountain rocks a thousand meters away!

Gravel flew everywhere and smoke filled the air!
"Pfft!!" Large mouthfuls of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs gushed out of Lei Ming's mouth.

Blood gushed from the hole in his left shoulder, and his bones were shattered in many places. The excruciating pain almost overwhelmed his consciousness.

If it weren't for the remaining life force stubbornly repairing him, he would have already turned into a pile of minced meat by now.

"Cough cough..." Lei Ming struggled to get up from the pile of rubble, each movement bringing excruciating pain.

Modi, like a demon crawling out of hell, carrying a blood-dripping longsword, left a trail of blood with every step, slowly approaching with overwhelming killing intent.

"I want your head as a sacrifice for my brother," Modi's voice was cold and cruel as he raised his longsword high, aiming it at Leiming's head.

The aura of death was chilling and piercing.

Despite the intense pain and the pressure of death, Lei Ming's consciousness entered a strange state of clarity.

Everything from the past flashed by before my eyes.

The horrors of the slave market, Beta's despair, Mona's tears, and the teacher's words that weakness is the original sin.

Death...destruction...rebirth...control...

A sudden realization, like a thunderclap in the darkness, abruptly cleaved open the heavy door.

"So this is what a domain is! I understand now!"

Just as Modi's long sword was about to fall.

hum-

Centered on the thunder, a deep purple halo containing endless destruction and rebirth suddenly spread out, instantly covering a hundred meters around it.

This is no longer a prototype, but a true, complete first level of the lightning realm!
A raging domain filled every inch of space, creating powerful suppression and restraint.

Modina's all-out strike, the moment it entered the purple aura, seemed to sink into an incredibly viscous swamp.

"What? This is impossible! A domain! How could you have a domain?!" The sinister smile on Modi's face instantly turned into extreme shock and disbelief.

"Nothing is Impossible."

Lei Ming slowly stood up from the pile of rubble.

"It's time to finish."

The sound of thunder was calm and still, yet it contained an undeniable sense of judgment.

He merely had a thought!
Within the domain, endless purple lightning instantly coalesced.

Modi's massive body stiffened abruptly, and with a clang, the knife in his hand fell to the ground.

He looked down, staring incredulously at his blood-stained body.

"Ho ho!"

He wanted to say something, but only managed to let out a weak, breathy sound.

next moment.

"Oh!"

Modi's incomparably powerful eighth-tier stellar body crashed to the ground.

"Teacher, I did it! I've mastered the domain!" Lei Ming raised his head and shouted excitedly into the void.

a long distance away.

In the void, Lu Qingshan stood with his hands behind his back, a satisfied smile curving his lips.

[Ding! Your disciple Lei Ming comprehended the first level of the Lightning Domain on the brink of death, triggering a hundredfold return. Your understanding of the Lightning Law has greatly increased!] Buzz!
Profound and unpredictable fluctuations of laws appeared out of nowhere, and countless profound insights into the origin of lightning emerged out of thin air, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, directly imprinting themselves into the depths of his consciousness.

……

"good."

Feeling the changes in his understanding of the laws, Lu Qingshan felt as comfortable as if he had drunk honey water.

Four years ago, after breaking through to the Domain Lord level, he comprehended a trace of the fundamental laws of lightning.

Over the past four years, he has never slackened in his comprehension of the laws, and has taken the fundamental laws of lightning a step further.

Even so, it did not reach the threshold of entering the fundamental laws of lightning.

In terms of understanding the laws alone, he is not as good as those geniuses at the stellar stage who can break into the top 1,000 in the entire universe.

But now.

The system's feedback was astonishing; his understanding of the fundamental laws of lightning directly crossed the threshold of the laws and entered a deeper level.

If his understanding of the laws was 0.3% before, it has now reached at least 3%.

Don't underestimate this mere two percentage points; it's already a tenfold increase.

With a three percent understanding of the laws, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will have virtually no barrier to breaking through to the Realm Lord realm.

It was worth saving up for this rebate; Lei Ming didn't disappoint me.

Lu Qingshan's figure appeared gracefully beside Lei Ming.

With a wave of his hand, a rich life force entered his body, and Lei Ming's injuries began to heal visibly.

"Cough cough, teacher, I did it, I really did it. You were right, only in the face of life and death can one achieve a breakthrough."

Lei Ming looked excited, like a child who had done something good and was waiting for praise.

"Hmm, not bad, you did very well this time."

Lu Qingshan smiled slightly.

Go on.

"I once said that if you break through to the first level of the Domain within ten years, I will give you another gift. What do you think of this Illusory Star?"

"The Rainbow Star?"

Lei Ming looked up at the planet's sky, where colorful clouds looked exceptionally beautiful.

"Teacher, the Rainbow Star is very beautiful."

Lei Ming answered honestly.

"In that case, I'll buy this iridescent star and give it to you."

Lu Qingshan smiled faintly.

"Teacher, this is not right. I just killed the original owner of the Illusionary Star."

Lei Ming stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"Who said you killed the original owners of the Illusionary Star?" Lu Qingshan shook his head slightly and smiled, "The original three owners of the Illusionary Star were clearly attacked by space pirates and their bodies were never found. You and I, master and disciple, passed by here, destroyed the space pirates, and saved the people of the entire planet."

"what……"

Lei Ming's simple world was shaken.

Can you do this?

Lu Qingshan continued, "Actually, it's a good thing to put ownership of the Illusionary Star in your hands. Their planet is too weak, only at the planetary level at most. Even if you give them freedom, unless they hand over the planet to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, they will still end up in the same situation."

"Teacher, I accept. I'll be a nominal planetary lord."

Lei Ming wasn't rigid; for the sake of his friends, he accepted the planet.

Things are progressing smoothly.

The staff from the Black Dragon Mountain's office in the Carlo Empire quickly arrived on Illusionary Color Star. Upon seeing Lu Qingshan, who was identified as the Two-Leaf Dry Wizard, they were momentarily stunned and dared not show the slightest disrespect.

In just half a day, they gave their investigation results: the planet Huancaixing was attacked by space pirates, all three lords were killed in battle, and the great Erye Qianwu Lu Qingshan passed by and saved all the humans of Huancaixing.

Purchasing the planet went much more smoothly, and even the data collection process was unnecessary, because Lu Qingshan was the savior of the planet and received a 30% discount.

Of course, the price of the planet is also the lowest tier, 300 billion Black Dragon Coins, which is 210 billion Black Dragon Coins after a 30% discount.

After completing the formalities, Lei Ming became the new lord of Huancai Star.
