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

Chapter 263 The Void Starry Sky, Granting a Candidate

To use this Soul Bead, one must first understand the secret runes on it.

After Lu Qingshan recognized the Soul Pearl as his master, information about this precious soul treasure appeared in his mind.

Like the Ghost Moon Blade, the Soul Bead only has one layer of secret runes, and it looks quite ordinary.

However, even ordinary-level soul-type treasures are worth countless times more than other treasures.

"The secret runes are a bit complicated, but they shouldn't be a problem for me."

His understanding of the laws surpasses that of a typical peak-level King, and his comprehension has increased many times over the years through teaching.

These secret patterns were not difficult for Lu Qingshan to understand.

It only takes some time to fully unravel.

"Consider it!"

When it comes to his own safety, Lu Qingshan dared not be careless.

Although he has clones, he would still be in great danger if he encountered a cosmic overlord who was proficient in souls and did not have a soul treasure to protect him.

Time flies.

Three years flew by.

"Untied!"

A smile flashed across Lu Qingshan's face.

Once the secret runes on the Soul Bead were deciphered, this treasure held no secrets for him anymore.

A truly remarkable treasure!
It can actually weaken a soul attack of a cosmic venerable level by 99%.

Not only that.

When this Soul Bead is absorbed into the body, it nourishes the soul. For example, if the soul is severely depleted, it can recover quickly with the help of this Soul Bead. It can also slowly increase the strength of the soul.

Lu Qingshan put the Soul Pearl into his body.

Then activate the Time Overlord Armor.

What he feared did not happen.

The soul defense of the Time Overlord Armor Helmet can actually be stacked with this Soul Bead.

"It seems that the Time Overlord Armor Helmet is only part of the armor and not a traditional soul treasure, otherwise this situation would not have occurred."

These kinds of soul treasures can't be used just by stacking a bunch of them; they can only be stacked in very rare cases.

For Lu Qingshan, this discovery was an unexpected delight.

Temple of Souls!

Lu Qingshan unleashed the powerful soul defense technique from "Soul Analysis".

A solid palace of the soul appeared out of thin air in his mind.

Once the Hall of Souls is completed, it will protect the souls forever, but it will not easily reveal itself unless activated by the user.

Over the years, Lu Qingshan has never given up practicing the Thousand Threads Soul Refining Technique. Even when he is creating a secret technique and cannot concentrate, the Ghost King's clone will still sink some of its consciousness into the Thousand Threads Soul Refining Technique.

Over the years, his soul has grown to an extremely terrifying extent, and the Temple of Souls has become increasingly solid.

Even without powerful protective treasures, given the current strength of the Soul Palace, a Soul Master at the peak of the King level would be virtually immune to soul attacks.

It should be understood that a Soul Master at the peak of the King-level realm is far more terrifying than a typical King-level expert at the limit. Even some King-level experts must be careful to deal with such soul attacks, as they could easily perish if they are not careful.

"guard!"

Lu Qingshan activated the Soul Bead.

Then it was discovered that the Soul Bead and the Temple of Souls slowly merged together. The Soul Bead appeared in the very center of the Temple of Souls, like a luminous pearl shining with blue light, rendering the entire Temple of Souls in a blue hue.

"This……"

This change left Lu Qingshan speechless. He never imagined that the Soul Palace could be fused with a powerful treasure, something that hadn't been shown in the secret techniques.

Lu Qingshan sensed the current level of soul defense. This light blue Soul Palace was already more than ten times stronger than before. If the Soul Pearl were activated, the strength of the soul defense would probably exceed a thousand times.

"My soul is completely stable. Unless the Lord of the Universe makes a move, no one else can easily break through my soul defenses!"

……

Having deciphered the secret runes on the Soul Pearl and solved the problem of soul defense, Lu Qingshan took out the Time Compass that he had previously given to Nan Hui, which had been restored to its original state.

The first time the Time Compass returns, the energy is abundant.

Lu Qingshan placed the Time Compass aside.

Activate the Light of Erosion.

Then he sat down and began cultivating the Time Body.

Previously, on the battlefield outside the domain, with the help of many treasures, his body had already reached its limit and he was unable to continue cultivating the Time Body. But now... even without those auxiliary treasures, the damage from the corrosive power to his body is within a tolerable range.

Lu Qingshan even felt that the corrosive power was somewhat weak; what if all three Time Compasses were used together?

Efficiency is expected to improve significantly.

However, it is still usable for now.

The light of erosion enveloped Lu Qingshan... Time passed quickly, and another five years went by.

"Fifty times!"

Lu Qingshan opened his eyes, took out a drop of the Spring of Life and swallowed it, then changed into a clean blue robe.

Five years of cultivation.

The corrosive light on the Time Compass was completely exhausted, and Lu Qingshan's body amplitude increased to fifty times.

There is still a considerable distance to go before the fourth level of the Body of Time cultivation is perfected.

However, Lu Qingshan was already satisfied.

His genetic makeup, a hundred times stronger, greatly enhanced his resilience; the damage from a Time Compass was almost negligible.

Lu Qingshan turned the erosion light to its maximum and didn't feel any discomfort.

A five-fold increase in amplitude is nothing compared to the increase in potential and upper limit. Lu Qingshan could clearly feel the changes in his body. He wouldn't dare say a hundredfold increase in amplitude, but with a hundredfold increase in genetic level, cultivating the Time Body to the fourth level of perfection, a 64-fold increase in amplitude, shouldn't be a problem. The only thing he lacked now was the Light of Corrosion.

With a hundredfold increase in gene density and a 64fold increase in amplitude, even if Lu Qingshan is only at the World Lord level, his basic strength is already comparable to that of a peak Marquis.

"Hmm, it seems the Ghost King's clone has made some progress!"

Lu Qingshan obtained the blood of the Beast God and cultivated in seclusion in Chaos City for nearly ten years, which is equivalent to thirty years in the outside world.

For thirty years, the Ghost King's clone had only one goal: to choose a disciple who could bestow the blood of the Beast God.

This disciple must be subject to strict requirements.

First of all.

It can't be the human race from the traditional territories. The virtual universe covers the entire human territory, and anyone who isn't an indigenous person can enter the virtual universe, making it easier to expose oneself... Moreover, the human race's mechanism for selecting geniuses is terrifying. If it's a human race within the territory, receiving Lu Qingshan's support will easily allow them to show their potential and grow, and they might very well appear in the initial universe in the future.

Secondly, it cannot be a race hostile to the human race; Lu Qingshan had no intention of supporting the human race's enemies.

His Beast God blood came from a gift from the human race; to do that would be far too selfish!

Thirdly, one's strength cannot be too great; one must also possess the ability to fuse two Blood Crystals. This is a necessary condition for bestowing the Blood of the Beast God. If the standard is not met, bestowing it will be ineffective.

Fourth, without any powerful backing, at least after being modified by the blood of the Beast God, their abnormality will not be immediately detected.

These conditions, individually, may not seem like much, but when all of them are put together, they become extremely rare.

Over the years, the Ghost King's clones have been operating outside the human race's territory, and have finally found a suitable target.

The border between human and Zerg territories.

In a desolate void.

In the primordial universe, there are many such empty star regions where life-bearing planets are extremely rare. Without the guidance of civilization, the powerful beings born in these places, even those at the World Lord level, would even believe that their own planet is the center of the world.

Because here, even if a world lord flew for a million years, he would not be able to discover the existence of a second life-bearing planet.

Without the ability to travel through the dark universe, and without the ability to build a spaceship that can fly in the dark universe, it is absolutely impossible to leave the void star belt!

These places often give rise to many strange civilizations! Some of them are not even recorded in the virtual universe company.

"TCK Great Void".

This is the name given to this place by the Virtual Universe Corporation, a place that was once a battleground between the Terrans and the Zerg.

However, with the establishment of battlefields outside the region, true territorial warfare has become rare.

Furthermore, the vastness of the starry sky further hinders their interactions, resulting in extremely limited contact between the two sides within the starry realm.

This area serves as a buffer zone between the two dominant races, and is also a worthless void of space, so it is basically a no-man's-land for both sides.

It was for this reason that the Ghost King's clone chose this place as its target.

On a barren planet ten thousand times larger than Earth.

A boy wearing an animal skin and with his shirt off was running swiftly across the land.

The hatred in his eyes was uncontrollable.

"Five Elements Tribe! I, Fengya, swear that if I survive this, I will take my revenge and tear you to pieces!!"

He hates it!
He originally lived in a small tribe called the Canglang Tribe. Five years ago, his sister married the young chief of the neighboring Blackwater Tribe. But who could have imagined that on the day of their wedding... the wedding procession would encounter a big shot from the Five Elements Tribe who had come to hunt in the wilderness.

The powerful man took a liking to his sister's appearance and, disregarding any objections, forcibly took her away.

At that time, he was just a weak, low-level wizard. He fought back desperately, but it was all in vain. Instead, he was killed by a guard from the Five Elements Tribe with a single punch.

He was definitely dead, after all, the gap between the two sides was too great. Any guard by the young chieftain of the Five Elements Tribe was at least a high-level wizard.

However, thanks to his innate magical bloodline, he miraculously survived.

He returned to his tribe.

Then found out.

Father died, mother died, all relatives died... Their bodies were hung on a big tree outside the tribe's gate. The tribe, which once had a thousand people, was now nothing but ruins.

He learned through inquiries that his sister, unable to bear the humiliation, had chosen to commit suicide after being abducted. The young master, feeling it was bad luck, changed his hunting target to their Canglang tribe!
Over the years, his only belief in survival has been revenge. Relying on that strange bloodline power, his strength has increased rapidly, and he is now at the level of a high-level wizard.

He attacked and killed several enemy caravans before he was discovered and hunted down!

"call out!!"

A sound broke through the air.

Fengya raised his head and looked at the sky. A huge bird had already caught up with them. On the back of the giant bird, a burly man in a red robe had a cold look in his eyes.

"The Red-Clad Witch King of the Five Elements Tribe! I never expected the Five Elements Tribe to actually send out their Witch King!"

Feng Ya's expression changed drastically.

"A mere fish that slipped through the net has caused such great losses to our Five Elements Tribe. Feng Ya, you have something to be proud of. Today, you will surely die!"

The Crimson Witch King took off from the giant bird and flew above Wind Fang's head.

He raised his hand.

The palm transformed into a giant fiery palm shadow, slamming towards him.

Feng Ya tried to dodge, but the pressure emanating from the level of life made him completely unable to move.

Witch King.

A powerful being with a lifespan of ten thousand years, capable of flying freely in the wild world, is far beyond his ability to contend with.

"It's over!"

The enormous fiery hand had already struck down. Feng Ya closed his eyes, despair already gripping his heart!

"boom!"

The flaming palm slammed down.

The earth trembled, and everything within a kilometer radius was burned to ashes.

The red-robed witch king in the sky flashed to the ground, a hint of doubt appearing in his eyes.

"That Fengya was a high-level wizard, after all. Was he really going to be reduced to ashes without leaving a trace by my single palm strike?"
