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

Chapter 268: The Surprise of the Lord of Qianwu

After teleporting.

The two arrived at the spot where Lu Qingshan had been.

With no outsiders present, Star Illusion King withdrew his divine power and said in surprise, "Gray-Clad King, I didn't expect you to be so powerful. You even easily killed Purple Bell King, who was at the peak of the King-Sealing Realm. Your strength is probably at the level of the invincible King-Sealing Realm."

In the battle just now, when the Purple Bell King went all out, the Star Illusion King naturally knew that his opponent was not an ordinary peak-level King. The Purple Bell King's Purple Bell must be an extremely precious treasure.

If it weren't for the Gray-Clad King, both of them might have been in danger if she had gone to rescue the Mountain-Crushing King alone.

However, the powerful Purple Bell King was forced to self-destruct by the Gray King with just one move. With such strength, it is no exaggeration to say that he is invincible as a king.

"Haha, it's alright! It's just thanks to the treasures and secret techniques."

Lu Qingshan smiled slightly.

“Treasures and secret techniques are also a form of strength. It is my honor to fight alongside a powerful figure like the Gray-Clad King.”

The wings on Star Illusion King's back trembled slightly, and then he asked, "Gray-Clad King, are you going to leave the extraterritorial battlefield now?"

"Well, I don't know if the news of the Purple Bell King's death has spread. With my current strength, I can't just slaughter people at will on the outer battlefield, so I'd better leave."

Lu Qingshan nodded and said.

“Indeed, being an invincible king, if you were to commit massacres on the battlefield outside the realm, it would inevitably attract invincible kings from other factions. Gray-Clad King, I know this is not your real name. You must be a powerful being from the human race who is disguising your identity... I hope we will have the opportunity to meet again next time.”

Star Illusion King stared at Lu Qingshan, as if trying to memorize his appearance.

Lu Qingshan didn't care.

He was disguised by the Time Overlord Armor, so even the Mountain Collapse King, who had seen him in person, couldn't detect it. Naturally, he wasn't worried about being recognized by the Star Illusion King in the future. He smiled and said, "That day will come, Star Illusion King. Thank you for your free help this time. See you again someday."

After saying this, a streak of light flashed, and Lu Qingshan flew out of the Yanji Continent.

"So fast!"

As Star Illusion King watched Lu Qingshan's departing figure, even she, a peak-level King-level being with an extremely profound understanding of spatial laws, could only barely sense the speed at which he left.

"The laws of time! This is incredible! Time stops, time accelerates... Just who is this gray-robed king, some powerful being among the human race, disguised as someone else?"

A hint of doubt flashed between Star Illusion King's brows.

Among the human race, there are very few king-level experts who are proficient in the fundamental laws of time, but I have never seen one who can match the gray-robed king!

Could it be King Anju?

Star Illusion King thought of a powerful king who was extremely proficient in time acceleration, then shook his head.

"King Anju has lived in Chaos City for billions of years, and there's never been any talk of him controlling time stop, so it can't be him..."

After thinking for a long time without any results, Star Illusion King put the matter aside for the time being and looked at the messages in the Military Merit System again.

I made two wasted trips today; I need to find other jobs to earn back the travel expenses.

……

Within the primordial chaos city of the universe.

After Lu Qingshan killed the Purple Bell King, the news from the military merit system naturally appeared here.

When Lu Qingshan joined the Hongmeng, the Lord of Chaos City personally issued an order that only the Universe Lord of the Virtual Universe Company and the founder of the Giant Axe could view Lu Qingshan's information.

Of course, as the head of intelligence for the Hongmeng Alliance, the Shadow Monarch also has this authority.

"City Lord, Lu Qingshan has grown too fast. That Purple Bell King was already at the peak of the King-Sealing Realm, and he also possessed that Purple Bell treasure. If I'm not mistaken, that treasure is no ordinary artifact; it can be used for both offense and defense. I never expected that Lu Qingshan would force him to self-destruct in a single move! This disciple of Qianwu probably already possesses the strength of an invincible King-Sealing Realm expert. A World Lord possessing the strength of an invincible King-Sealing Realm expert... tsk tsk tsk..."

The Shadow Monarch, a powerful cosmic overlord who also controls the Hongmeng intelligence agency, has extensive knowledge, but he has never seen a realm lord like Lu Qingshan who is comparable to an invincible king before.

That's amazing, that's genius!

"Lu Qingshan's level of law is still somewhat inferior to that of a King-level Invincible, but he has created a peak secret technique similar to that of a King-level Invincible, and with that treasured armor enhancing his basic strength, coupled with the amplification effect, his strength is about the same as that of an ordinary King-level Invincible. However, compared to a True King, he is still somewhat inferior!"

The Lord of Chaos City watched the video and commented.

The details that Lu Qingshan displayed during the battle could not be hidden from such a powerful figure.

Last time, killing a high-level King required the use of Femo Venom, but this time, he killed a peak King directly through sheer strength.

“There are only a handful of Kings like Zhenyan Wang in the entire Hong Alliance. If Lu Qingshan, a Realm Lord, could rival Zhenyan Wang, that would be truly unbelievable… However, if Lu Qingshan were to break through to the Immortal God Realm, Zhenyan Wang would probably have to step aside.”

The Shadow Monarch exclaimed in surprise.

"I feel that Lu Qingshan's appearance is like the primordial universe's favoritism towards our human race. Apart from the favor of the primordial universe's will, I can't understand why someone can have such a heaven-defying cultivation speed!"

Lu Qingshan's strength is only one aspect; what's even more impressive is his cultivation speed.

In less than 20,000 years, his understanding of the laws has become so powerful that he has surpassed all the great beings in human history.

“Shadow.” The Chaos City Lord said solemnly, “Lu Qingshan’s safety must be guaranteed. Your intelligence agencies should pay more attention to news about the alien races and find out all the spies lurking in the human territory. We can’t let those guys ruin our human race’s plans.”

"Hmph, those guys are still up to no good. Not long ago, they even assassinated a Domain Lord-level genius from the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance. That genius had the potential to become a King. It's such a pity."

"The Shadow Monarch said in a cold voice."

"They assassinated our human race's genius, so our Hong Alliance will naturally retaliate. We have already set our sights on a top genius from the demon race's royal family. This genius has the potential to become a Universe Venerable, and we believe good news will come soon... If it weren't for the need to prevent his resurrection, we wouldn't have waited until now to take action... Heh, with the help of the virtual universe, assassinating their genius is much easier for us humans than for these alien scum."

"Be cautious."

The Lord of Chaos City offered a reminder, then continued, "Tell Qianwu the news. Others can't access Lu Qingshan's information, but Qianwu, as his teacher, still has the right to know." "Haha, that old fellow Qianwu is probably overjoyed this time."

The Shadow Lord laughed.

……

Outside the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Continent, in a remote corner of the starry sky.

A divine kingdom passage slowly appeared, and Lu Qingshan flew out from it. After leaving the Yanji Continent, Lu Qingshan found a remote place and used the divine kingdom teleportation to arrive here.

"Master, you have an important call request."

Nasus's deep voice rang out.

"Hmm? It's the teacher calling."

After glancing at the name displayed on the caller ID, Lu Qingshan quickly clicked to answer.

Soon, a gaunt man wearing a fiery red robe and with two curved horns on his head appeared opposite them.

"Teacher," Lu Qingshan greeted.

"Haha, Qingshan...where are you now? Are you still on the extraterritorial battlefield?"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom spoke.

"Teacher, how did you know I went to the extraterritorial battlefield? I've already left the extraterritorial battlefield and am now near the virtual universe headquarters continent. I plan to return to the initial universe!"

Lu Qingshan revealed the starry sky behind him.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom looked at it and said with a smile, "You little rascal, you ran away really fast. You killed a peak-level King and ran away. Are you afraid that someone will steal your treasure? That purple bell is not bad, it should be a valuable treasure."

"Teacher, you know this too!" Lu Qingshan smiled, but he guessed that it must have been the Lord of Chaos City who told his teacher.

After all, the military merit system is very confidential. Even a Venerable would not be able to view it at will, given his level as a core genius.

"Of course I know, Qingshan, you're amazing! Your current strength is comparable to your second senior brother, the Dragon Whale King!"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom exclaimed in amazement.

In less than 20,000 years, he could hardly imagine how his youngest disciple had accomplished this impossible task.

Over countless years, he only cultivated two disciples who were granted the title of King. Lu Qingshan was the third, and also the one with the greatest potential.

"I only have my current strength because of external resources, and I still can't compare to my second senior brother."

Lu Qingshan shook his head.

“But you are still a realm lord! Moreover, you should be able to break through at any time and become an immortal god. Even your second senior brother would not be your match. Your teacher has good judgment. Qingshan... Don’t rush back to the initial universe. Come to the Qianwu Secret Realm. I have some things to tell you.”

"Yes, teacher, I'll be right there."

Lu Qingshan did not ask what it was about.

"Okay, we'll talk about it in person when you get there."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom nodded and then hung up the phone.

"My teacher solemnly asked me to go to the Qianwu Secret Realm to see him in person. I wonder what it is about?"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself.

"Mo Yun, please do me one last favor and teleport us to the Qianwu Continent."

"Master, Moyun is not tired."

"Let's go."

The divine realm passage reopened, and Lu Qingshan entered it, soon arriving at the divine power coordinates closest to the Qianwu Continent.

Here is a leaf of the Moyun Vine as a mark of divine power.

Release the Void Ship.

The speed continued to increase, soon reaching fifty times the speed of light, and it would take about three days to reach Qianwu City.

"The Void Ship is still a bit too slow."

Lu Qingshan thought to himself as he watched the Void Ship, which was traveling at 50 times the speed of light and had already reached its limit, traversing the dark universe.

Next time we return to the initial universe, we should find someone to modify the Void Ark.

With the metal life form integrated into it, the Void Ship has long since transformed into the form of a metal life form. There is no need to worry about the previous technology being discovered to be flawed; now, all that is needed is to add more precious metal materials to increase its speed.

The Void Ship, fused with metallic lifeforms, saw its defense and kinetic energy increase significantly, becoming a metallic lifeform spaceship. However, limited by its material composition, its speed remained at 50 times the speed of light, unable to increase further…

Lu Qingshan gained a reward of 100 billion points after passing through the Primal Tongtian Mountain, as well as a reward of 20 levels of the Tongtian Bridge. The points were so numerous that keeping them wouldn't be of much use.

"Boss, we've arrived at the Qianwu Continent!"

Before long, Xiao Jin's figure appeared on the virtual screen.

"know."

Lu Qingshan left the spaceship, stored the Void Ship in his world ring, and appeared outside the passage of the Qianwu Secret Realm in a flash.
