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

Chapter 207 The Ambition of the Demon Race, the Way of Survival
These pig demons are the 'Black Pig Clan,' a low-ranking race among the demons.

Despite being a low-level demon race, they are enormous in size, and human realm lords of the same level are generally no match for them.

"Hoohoo!!"

"Human Immortal God Squad, kill! kill! kill!"

A group of pig demons, like fighting madmen, charged forward immediately. Without any strategy, they all rushed towards their respective targets.

"These guys are incredibly stupid, but there are a lot of them. Generally speaking, they are just cannon fodder in the extraterritorial battlefield. It's unbelievable that they were able to form an elite squad. But that's all there is to it."

The burly man wielded two axes, unleashing his understanding of the laws. Within his spiritual feathers of law, countless cyan rays transformed into powerful wind blades, hurtling towards the immortal divine boar demon.

Puff puff! !

The wind blades left wounds on the pig demon's body.

"No wonder it's a pig, it really has thick skin and tough flesh."

The Law Domain had little effect, so the brute wielded his double axes and charged straight at the immortal boar demon.

The two sides soon started fighting.

The others then chose their opponents one after another.

One per person.

"Han Li, fight with all your might. If anything unexpected happens, I will come to your aid."

The voice of Qingyu Hou entered his ears. This immortal marquis had a comprehensive view of the situation and would take timely action if anything went wrong, ensuring the safety of everyone.

"clear."

After replying, Lu Qingshan looked at the boar demon charging towards him. It was hundreds of meters tall, with blood-red eyes and ferocious tusks... However, just as the boar demon was about to reach him, it suddenly stopped and burst into unrestrained laughter.

"Humans, ha ha ha, good riddance, good riddance!"

"Fool! It's an illusionist!"

The pig demon's kin hurriedly warned them, but it was too late. In the brief moment the pig demon was distracted, Lu Qingshan's figure flashed past, appearing behind the pig demon and slicing off its massive pig head with a single stroke.

"He really is a stupid pig."

Lu Qingshan sheathed his knife and watched the others fight. These low-level pig demons wouldn't even appear in the trial space.

Apart from the dwarf who was facing a Realm Lord general, all the other pig demons were elite Realm Lords. Even with their enormous size, they could only be trampled upon.

The vulture was the second to finish the battle; his Vulcan weapon burned a boar demon to ashes.

The bull was a martial artist, and it struggled somewhat against the boar demon's charge, but it still managed to overwhelm its opponent.

"Quick victory!"

The voice of Qingyu Hou came.

"Han Li, Vulture, support the others."

Hearing this, Lu Qingshan wasn't worried about stealing the monster's kill. He immediately used an illusion spell to hit the boar demon on the ground. The boar demon was trapped in the illusion and went mad. The boar demon's head was chopped off by the bull with an axe.

"Han Li, that's awesome! Thanks!"

The bull expressed its gratitude.

On the other side, the vulture also helped Yao Rao take down another boar demon. Yao Rao's illusion magic could easily control the opponent, but her attack power was weak, and it was difficult to quickly defeat the thick-skinned boar demon.

Then the others joined the attack, and the dwarf's only opponent, a World Lord warrior, was hacked into mincemeat...

The last remaining immortal god-boar demon, seeing that all his subordinates were dead, once again used his clever mind to seize the high ground. First, with a loud bang, he exploded half of his head, blasting away the brute who was entangled with him, and then seized the opportunity to turn around and run away.

However, Qingyu Hou, who had been lying in ambush for a long time, would not let them escape. He made a move and annihilated his divine body with a single sword strike.

"Clean up the battlefield and leave!"

Qingyu Hou gave an order, but even without his permission, after the battle ended, everyone began cleaning up the battlefield and boarded their spaceship again within seconds, leaving the place.

Once inside the spaceship's lounge, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Despite being just an ordinary E-class spaceship, the lounge was made of F9 metal and could be moved to other spaceships at any time. Generally, even those who had reached the highest level of immortality would not be able to break through the lounge's defenses.

In extraterrestrial battlefields, spaceships are consumables, and high-level spaceships are rarely used. After all, in the battlefield, travel is mostly at near-light speed, and even C-class spaceships meet the standards.

"Boss, have enemy reinforcements just arrived?"

"I can't believe it," the burly man asked curiously.

"Hmm." Qingyu Hou nodded: "At about 100 million kilometers away, there are two demon race teams approaching us. It's probably that pig demon immortal god who sent out a distress message."

Qingyu Hou looked at Lu Qingshan and explained, "Han Li, when fighting on the battlefield outside the domain, you must always be careful. Even if you can kill the enemy, if you cannot quickly end the battle, you need to retreat in time, because you may be surrounded by the enemy. Of course, the same applies to us. If we are surrounded by alien races, we can call for support from our own race and allies within hundreds of billions of kilometers around us."

Qingyu Hou, like a qualified teacher, explained his experience on the battlefield outside the domain. Then he spoke.

"Let's all take stock of our spoils."

After all, they had just wiped out an elite squad of demons, and everyone wanted to see what the spoils of war were.

But soon.

Everyone started cursing.

"Ptooey, ptooey, what is this thing?"

"They're all junk. Are these pig demons scavenging for junk? The most expensive one isn't even a single unit of Hunyuan."

"I have the same thing here, a red bellyband too? This pig demon is a pervert."

She spat a few times, looking alluring.

Lu Qingshan also released everything from the world ring he had found.

With his limited perspective, all he saw were scrap metal.

Among these spoils were several metal golems.

The metal golems had pig heads but human bodies, making them look quite comical. Yao Rao disgustedly threw away the red bellyband, then looked at the metal golems and felt another wave of nausea. She said, "These stupid pigs! Even making metal golems is disgusting; they put their pig heads on our human bodies."

"Heh, they're too big to travel on spaceships, so they created these metal golems to move around outside, while keeping their huge bodies in the world ring. These guys put their ugly heads on our human bodies; it's obvious they have ulterior motives and want to suppress us humans."

Qingyu Hou, fearing that Lu Qingshan might not know, explained.

"The demon race is ambitious and has long coveted our human territory. I heard they even want to bring the Starry Sky Beast Alliance into their camp. Do you think those noble Starry Sky Beasts would even look at this bunch of trash?"

"Indeed, all demons are trash, and these Black Boars are the worst of the worst!"

Looking at the many broken items in the spaceship, Qingyu Hou said, "I don't want these. You can distribute them yourselves. Anyway, I've already obtained the military merit for killing an immortal."

"Haha, then we won't stand on ceremony. Does anyone have anything they like? If not, we'll pack them up and sell them when we get back to the barracks, and then we'll split the profits."

Everyone shook their heads. They all despised the ugly black boar demons. Even if they had one or two decent items, they still found them dirty.

"Han Li, this time you killed a Realm Lord and assisted others in killing their opponents. Let's see if you have earned military merit."

The alluring woman offered a reminder.

“Hmm, military merits…” Lu Qingshan glanced at his military merits page in the virtual universe. Military merits: 175 million.

"Only 175."

Lu Qingshan spoke up.

“That’s not bad, I only have 85.” Bull said with a grin.

"I'll pay you 200 million." Vulture laughed heartily. Apart from the two immortal gods present, he probably had the most military merits.

"It's still the mentalist class that's the most fun; they can kill the fastest."

The bull was somewhat envious.

Listening to the others' discussions, Lu Qingshan calculated his military merits. One battle was worth 175 million, and a hundred battles would only amount to 1.75 million. He would need to participate in at least 500 such battles to accumulate enough military merits to reach his target of 10 billion.

Moreover, this is only the military merit quota given in the extraterritorial battlefield.

The Virtual Universe Company also gave him another quota: 100 trillion military merits.

If he were to reveal this number, even Qingyu Hou would probably be shocked.

According to the method for determining military merits in overseas battlefields.

Killing an ordinary Realm Lord alone earns 100 military merits, an elite Realm Lord earns 1000 million military merits, and a Realm Lord General earns 10 million military merits.

This is at the level of a Realm Lord.

There are only two levels of Immortal Military Lords. Ordinary Immortal Military Lords have 10 million military merits, while advanced Immortal Military Lords have 1 billion military merits. The peak level is also included in the advanced level.

The initial rank of Marquis requires 1000 billion military merits, the advanced rank requires 100 billion military merits, and the peak rank requires 1 trillion military merits.

The initial rank for being granted the title of king requires 10 trillion military merits.

The highest rank of being granted the title of King requires 100 trillion military merits.

The pinnacle of being crowned a king is 1000 trillion military merits.

……

Moreover, only by completing the kill alone can one obtain the full military merit. In other words, if Lu Qingshan wants to complete the military merit quota set for him by the Virtual Universe Company, he needs to kill at least one high-ranking King on his own before it is considered complete.

That standard is a bit too high!

To kill a high-level King, one needs to be at least at the peak of the King realm, which requires complete mastery of one of the three major branches of the superior laws.

Lu Qingshan suspected that this was definitely due to the fact that he had exposed the life forms of two peak-level Immortal Marquis-rank plants when he was assassinated on the Black Dragon Mountain Imperial Star. He had relied on the plant life forms to hold out for a long time against the pursuit of King-rank Immortals, and the company must have taken that into account.

He was somewhat relieved that he had been wise, as he hadn't used many of his trump cards at the time, such as the Thousand Vine Star-Eating Grass, his precious weapons, and his armor.

If he were to activate the Time Overlord Armor, gaining a thousand times the power of a Realm Lord, and adding the body's amplitude, totaling 16000 times the power of a Realm Lord, he would be able to contend with a beginner-level King. In that case, the military merits awarded to him by the Virtual Universe Company might even reach 1000 trillion.

"That's the benefit of not revealing your strength too easily."

The spaceship sped through the asteroid belt, quickly shaking off the two alien teams.

A few days later, the team arrived at a piece of star debris that was several hundred kilometers in size, and everyone left the spaceship.

Qingyu Hou explained, "This is our Qingyu Squad's base in the Shattered Star Belt. It's well-equipped, and there are two allied squads nearby that can support each other, so it's very safe... Everyone, please rest well first, and we'll prepare for the next battle."

All the members of the Qingyu Squad entered the base; some digested the gains from the battle, while others went into the virtual universe to enjoy themselves.

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the Shattered Star Belt, battles don't happen all the time. If you choose a good stronghold, it's rare for alien squads to come and attack you.

Those who survive on the battlefields beyond the realm are all seasoned veterans, except for some low-level demon races who are incredibly stupid, and they generally don't live long either.

One day three months later.

Qingyu suddenly summoned everyone.

"8000 million kilometers to our left, an allied squad is under attack and requests backup. The enemy has three Immortal Warlords. What do you all think? Should we send reinforcements...?"

"Three immortal gods? Are there any high-ranking immortal military lords among them?"

"The pharmacist dwarf asked."

"According to my detector, there are only three ordinary Immortal Army Lord auras. Of course, the detector is only based on the strength displayed by the other party, so I cannot make a judgment."

Qingyu said solemnly.

"Boss, let's get to it. It's been three months since we made a move, and those bastards have practically delivered themselves to our doorstep. We can't let them get away with this."

"Damn, I have a feeling this deal will be very profitable."

"Human allies should certainly be rescued."
