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

Chapter 291 Getting Slapped in the Face: I Was Just Playing with You!

“Dark King, you can just call me Blood Nether King.”

Lu Qingshan smiled slightly, but even his smile looked eerie, given that he was an avatar of the Ghost King.

"Blood Nether King, you are still the only one-horned ghost king I, Dark Nether, have ever seen. Why don't you go and try those mountains?"

The Dark King looked at the towering mountains ahead, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

"can."

The two ascended into the air and soon landed on an ordinary mountain peak.

After waiting for a long time, the mountain did not respond.

The Dark King said, "Don't be discouraged. The conditions set for each treasure in the treasure land are different. Some conditions are extremely harsh, ridiculously high. For example, the 108 highest mountain peaks are said to contain supreme treasures, but since their creation, only more than forty have been opened so far."

"That's pretty awesome too."

Lu Qingshan looked at the 108 highest peaks.

"Yes, the last person to obtain one of these treasures was a Universe Venerable of the Demon Race. After obtaining the treasure, that Universe Venerable quickly became a cosmic overlord with unparalleled strength."

The Dark King sighed and then said, "However, in this Land of Inheritance, the probability of other races obtaining treasures is not as high as that of us special life forms. After all, the Ancestral God Sect has a preference for special life forms, and among the many conditions it sets, special life forms should be one of them. We have an advantage."

"Oh."

The two chatted as they headed toward another mountain peak.

The conditions for opening the treasure are very simple; you just need to get close to it to trigger the event, provided that certain conditions are met.

Just take a stroll around the mountain peak, and you'll basically know whether it meets the requirements.

"Our special life forms have enormous advantages, and there are many powerful figures in the Ancestral God Sect. For example, there is the Insect-Chasing King, with a genetic level of 5000 times. He is among the top three among the many inheritors of the Ancestral God Sect. Although he is only a King, he has already achieved the feat of killing a Universe Venerable. There is also the Purple Rain Venerable, who is even more powerful... Further down, there is the Barking Mirror King. Although he is only a King, he can also interact with Universe Venerables on an equal footing thanks to his supreme treasures and innate secret techniques..."

The Dark King cited examples to prove that their special life forms were extraordinary, and concluded in conclusion.

"Therefore, there is an unwritten rule in the Ancestral God Sect that all inheritors of any race will tacitly abide by: avoid provoking special life forms if possible. Even if special life forms are not as good as them now, once they break through to the same level, they can crush them with their strength. Moreover, we special life forms also have our own small groups!"

"Oh, is it so?"

Lu Qingshan stared at the distance not far ahead.

A colossal serpent demon flew towards them.

The massive demon clan inheritor's gaze was icy, his enormous pupils fixed on the Ghost King's avatar.

A powerful aura swept towards the two of them.

"Venerable Burning Annihilation, what do you intend to do?"

Dark King looked at the enormous serpent not far away, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes. Special life forms are usually very proud, and they generally won't bow their heads even when facing a cosmic venerable. The key point is that he had just told Blood Nether King that special life forms are generally not provoked, and this guy's sudden appearance was simply a slap in the face.

"Dark King, get out of my way!"

With a flick of his wrist, Venerable Burning Annihilation sent Dark King flying. Dark King slammed to the ground, utterly disheveled…

"The Demon Clan's Venerable of Destruction!"

He gritted his teeth and immediately sought help in the world of Glory.

In the treasure trove, protected by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, no one dares to actually make a move, not even a Cosmic Venerable. If they kill an Inheritor, the Five-Colored Aurora Lake will judge it as a violation and they will be killed on the spot.

However, some cosmic venerables are very clever. They will not kill those who inherit the title of king, but they can humiliate them. For example, they just knocked the Dark King away, making him look miserable, but his divine body was not harmed, so it will not be judged as a violation.

The commotion here naturally attracted the attention of many people.

When Lu Qingshan appeared on this mountain peak, many inheritors who were curious about the One-Horned Ghost King noticed him and the Dark King.

"What is Venerable Burning Annihilation doing? Bullying these two little ones."

“I heard that Venerable Burning Annihilation’s most beloved junior has died? He has been very angry lately.”

"Could the most beloved descendant of Venerable Burning Annihilation be the demon race's successor, King Void?"

"Yes, otherwise Venerable Burning Annihilation wouldn't be so angry. He went to great lengths to obtain the inheritance token of the Void King, and now that he's dead... even if he's resurrected in the future, he'll have no chance of inheriting the Beast God's legacy."

"King Kongxuan is really unlucky; he missed such a tremendous opportunity!"

……

The crowd discussed amongst themselves, especially some of the cosmic venerables who spoke without restraint, since they didn't care about the King of Incineration's thoughts. Even Lu Qingshan overheard their conversation.

"Blood Nether King... In the last hundred years, the only inheritors of the Ancestral God Sect are you and Dragon Whale King. My descendant, Void King, was killed by you, wasn't he!"

The Venerable Burning Annihilation stared at Lu Qingshan with his enormous snake eyes.

A hundred years ago, he received a distress call from his descendant, the Sky King, who said he was being hunted by the Dragon Whale King. However, the Sky King soon sent another message saying that he had escaped...

But after that, no more news came.

The Dragon Whale King had been staying at his home on Purple Thorn Island, and Lu Qingshan seized the opportunity when he came to the treasure land.

Based on his reasoning, this Blood Nether King was highly suspicious. After all, he had come to the Ancestral Mystic Realm with the Dragon Whale King.

"What Sky King? I don't know him. However, on the way to the Ancestral God Cult, a stupid snake crashed into my spaceship and was eventually killed by me."

Lu Qingshan showed no fear in the face of Venerable Burning Annihilation.

"Good, good, it really was you!"

Venerable Burning Annihilation was furious. "So what if it's me? Do you dare lay a hand on me here?"

Lu Qingshan sneered.

Without him needing to search, he could tell from the conversation between these Venerables that the Venerable Burning Annihilation was only of average strength among the Universe Venerables. His Ghost King clone was using all its strength and was not afraid of ordinary Universe Venerables, so naturally it did not care about the other party.

"Blood Nether King, don't think that just because you're a special life form, you can challenge a Universe Venerable. Not every special life form is the Insect King!"

No sooner had Venerable Burning Annihilation finished speaking than he made his move.

Hey.

A phantom divine power shot directly toward the Ghost King's clone.

This scene astonished countless people.

"This Venerable Burning Annihilation actually attacked directly, and with a soul attack no less? Isn't he afraid of being killed by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake?"

"No, Venerable Burning Annihilation is not stupid. He will not perish together with a King. Otherwise, even if he is resurrected, the price he will pay will far exceed the price of killing a King. Moreover, he will lose the precious opportunity of inheriting the Beast God's legacy."

"The Venerable Burning Annihilation must want to embarrass this One-Horned Ghost King. Do you remember the King of the Departing Demon from countless eras ago? That guy relied on the protection of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake to provoke a Universe Venerable. Who knew that the Universe Venerable was proficient in illusion magic and directly made him think he was a dog in the illusion, barking wildly in front of countless people in the treasure land..."

Haha, after the Li Liang King finally regained consciousness and realized what had happened, he discovered he had become a laughingstock... and then he disappeared. It's unknown whether he went into hiding or was quietly killed by that Cosmic Venerable outside the Ancestral Mystic Realm.

"Yes, a King-level immortal dares to provoke a Universe Venerable. That's courting death. The Universe Venerable has countless ways to deal with a King-level immortal."

"This Blood Nether King is quite audacious, actually killing the most beloved descendant of the Burning Annihilation Venerable. This time, things probably won't end well."

Everyone looked at the One-Horned Ghost King, who was trapped in a soul illusion, with expectant expressions on their faces.

Some people even took out recording equipment.

"Blood Ghost!"

The Dark King shouted from the side, trying to warn the One-Horned Ghost King, but his voice could not be transmitted due to the divine power of the Burning Venerable.

He was extremely anxious and sent several more messages asking for help.

"idiot!"

Just when everyone thought that Blood Nether King had fallen into the illusion of the Burning Venerable, a voice suddenly entered everyone's ears.

The One-Horned Demon King looked at the Venerable Burning Annihilation, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

Yes, it's mockery.

Not to mention that his will is already at the level of a cosmic venerable, his soul palace, which he has cultivated for countless years, can directly defend against this shallow soul illusion. He has been immersed in the reincarnation illusion of the Thousand Threads Soul Refining for so long, how could he be deceived by the illusion?
"asshole!"

The Venerable Burning Extinction found it hard to believe that his soul illusion had no effect whatsoever on this one-horned ghost king.
However, at this moment he was enraged by the word "idiot".

He, a supreme being of the universe, was publicly called a fool by an immortal king.

If he doesn't regain his dignity, he'll likely become a laughingstock among the countless cosmic venerables in this land of inheritance.

Thick flames suddenly erupted from the giant snake's body.

The Soul Illusion is countless times more powerful than before.

"This incineration is insane; it's actually burning a divine body."

"If the Five-Colored Aurora Lake determines that he intentionally injured someone, he will definitely be punished."

"If I were Venerable Burning Annihilation, being insulted like this by a mere King would surely drive me mad."

"Now there's something good to watch!"

Illusion... an endless illusion...

After burning his divine body, the illusion created by the Burning Venerable was comparable to the Silver Eyes Talent Secret Technique back then, and even more realistic and terrifying!
Silver Eyes' innate secret technique is to trap the enemy in an illusion, eventually causing their soul to collapse. It requires a high level of skill. This Burning Venerable not only harbored thoughts of humiliation, but he also wanted to thoroughly humiliate this Blood Nether King!

The Soul Palace could not completely defend against it, and Lu Qingshan was indeed trapped in the illusion. After all, his Ghost King clone did not have a soul treasure to protect him directly. However, the greatly weakened illusion had become rough and unreliable, and Lu Qingshan found the flaw after only a few glances.

However, he did not actively break the illusion, but remained trapped within it.

"Come on, come on!"

The Venerable Burning Annihilation looked at the Blood Nether King opposite him, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

"As long as I kill this Blood Nether King and prevent him from staying in this Ancestral Mystic Realm, I will have achieved my goal. He is just a one-horned ghost king without the help of his clan. Outside, I can kill him with a wave of my hand!"

"almost!"

“I’ll be right soon!”

"Just one more step."

"boom!!"

The flames on Venerable Burning Away disappeared, and his expression became extremely distorted, filled with uncontrollable rage.

"Blood King! You're playing me!"

In just a short while, he had already burned five percent of his divine body. However, the other party remained in a state of being about to sink into the illusion. If he hadn't suddenly woken up, he probably would have lost even more!

Hearing this, Lu Qingshan smiled slightly and said, "You're only realizing it now? That's really stupid!"
