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

Chapter 297 The deal is done!

"This...how is this possible? The Blood Nether King is in his own home?"

Upon seeing the Blood Demon King emerge from the cave, the Silver Fox King's face clearly showed astonishment.

He had just told Venerable Burning Annihilation his reasoning, and then Venerable Burning Annihilation entered the secret realm in a grand manner, seeking help from many demon clan inheritors.

But now...

The Blood Demon King was in his own home.

The Silver Fox King looked very unwell.

He could foresee that when Venerable Burning Annihilation learned of this news, he would be furious.

"Silver Fox King?"

Lu Qingshan's gaze swept over the white-furred fox demon.

"Humph!!"

The Silver Fox King snorted coldly.

The two did not exchange words. Lu Qingshan walked towards the plaza of the Inheritance Land and entered the Glory World with his consciousness.

The Silver Fox King immediately contacted Venerable Burning Annihilation.

……

In the world of glory, in the plaza where special beings gather.

Lu Qingshan greeted several familiar special beings, then walked over to the human-like figure dressed in purple armor.

"Insect King!"

He spoke first.

"Blood Ghost King, is there anything you need from me?"

The Insect King wore a smile.

Lu Qingshan nodded and said, "I have something very important to ask to see General Mantuo. I would like to ask King Zhuchong to help introduce me."

“Oh, the God of Mando has a rather bad temper. I can make an introduction, but I can’t guarantee he will see you.”

The Insect King said with a smile.

“Just tell him it’s something extremely important to him. If he’s interested, he should be willing to meet me,” Lu Qingshan said confidently.

"Now that you mention it, I'm starting to get curious myself..." The Insect King showed an interested expression.

"The Insect King will know this in the future."

Lu Qingshan did not explain.

"Alright." The Insect King didn't insist, and picked up his wine glass, saying, "I'll help you contact General Mantuo. Do you plan to meet him in the Glory World or in reality?"

"In reality, I'm waiting for him near the square."

As the Ghost King's clone spoke, he had already arrived at the center of the square on Purple Thorn Island in reality.

Here, several demon clan inheritors were very surprised when they saw him, and they all sent messages to Venerable Burning Annihilation.

Lu Qingshan waited for a while.

Instead of waiting, the Mandala God met the Venerable Burning Annihilation, who had returned from the secret realm.

Seeing the other person, and recalling the expressions of the Silver Fox King and these demon clan inheritors, how could he not guess what the other person had gone to do?

A mocking expression played on his lips: "Isn't this Venerable Burning Annihilation? He must have gained quite a bit from this trip to the secret realm."

The Venerable One of Burning Away's enormous snake eyes gleamed with a cold light.

Looking at the dozen or so inheritors present and the magnificent Beast God Palace, he took a deep breath.

"Blood King, you must pray that I don't catch you, otherwise I guarantee you will die a terrible death."

"Wait and see."

Lu Qingshan smiled slightly.

Venerable Burning Annihilation did not want to become a laughing stock again. He dared not make a move even in the treasure land, let alone outside the Beast God Palace.

He snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Lu Qingshan waited for about an hour.

Finally, a massive aura descended.

Lu Qingshan looked up and saw a man who was three meters tall, bald, and had blue patterns on his head appear in the air in front of him.

With just one glance, Lu Qingshan felt as if his soul had been drawn into the other's body.

Rumors say that the God of Mandala is highly skilled and proficient in illusion magic, and it seems that this is indeed true.

"Blood King, do you want to see me?" The voice of the God General Mantuo entered Lu Qingshan's ears.

"Greetings, General Mandala."

Lu Qingshan bowed and then said, "I would like to make a deal with General Mantuo."

"Hmm?" The gaze of the God of Mando swept over, and even the Ghost King's clone felt an immense pressure coming down on it.

His expression remained unchanged.

"Not bad willpower." The Mantuo God General withdrew his aura and then said, "You chose to meet here because you believe I wouldn't dare kill you here. Speak... If your answer doesn't satisfy me, you'll know the price of toying with me."

"Let's discuss this in the world of Glory."

Lu Qingshan said calmly.

"it is good."

After a while.

The two met in a space within the Glory World.

The God of Mando said, "This is my private space in the world of glory. No one else will know what you say here!"

“General Mandala, I know where there is a Space Heart that is about to mature.”

Lu Qingshan didn't waste any time and immediately threw out his trump card.

The soon-to-be-mature Space Heart!
This is a core component for refining primordial treasures, and the primordial treasures refined from it are of extremely high quality.

These are extremely important treasures for both top-tier cosmic overlords and ordinary cosmic lords.

"what do you want!"

The God of Mandala's gaze burned with fervor.

"A Tree of Life at the level of a World Lord; I need it to stabilize my divine kingdom."

Lu Qingshan said calmly.

"Do you know how big the difference is between the two?" General Mando was not very trusting.

“I know, but it doesn’t matter… For me, that spatial core was just a chance discovery, and it seems to be guarded by someone. I saw some remains of inheritors there. If I can’t have it, I might as well exchange it for something I need!”

Lu Qingshan said with a smile.

“I promise you, tell me the location. If there really is the Space Heart you mentioned, it’s just a World Lord-level Tree of Life, nothing special. You can still get my protection in the Ancestral God Cult.”

"Yes, I believe in Mandala God."

Lu Qingshan directly sent the location coordinates to the God of Mantuo.

"Mysterious Ancestral Realm..."

Upon seeing the coordinates, the God of Mando's initial doubts dissipated considerably. When the Blood Nether King spoke of the Heart of Space, he had many thoughts, even suspecting that the Blood Nether King was his enemy, deliberately luring him away from the Ancestral God Cult.

But if this place is in the Ancestral Mystic Realm, then my doubts are completely unnecessary.

The Ancestral Mystic Realm is the territory of the Ancestral God Sect. As one of the seventy-two divine generals of the Ancestral God Sect, he can be said to be his own backyard. The universe lords and other beings in the Ancestral Mystic Realm will give him some face. Here, no one can harm a divine general like him.

"Go back to your residence and wait. Once I have verified the information, I will have someone send you the World Lord-level Tree of Life."

"it is good."

After saying this, Lu Qingshan left the square and returned to his residence.

Their exchange was only for a moment.

Those inheritors didn't know what they were saying; they just assumed that the Mandala God was interested in the One-Horned Demon King.

Among the crowd, the inheritors of the demon race all looked grim.

If Blood Nether King and Mandala God General have a relationship, then Venerable Burning Annihilation will definitely suffer in silence.

In the Ancestral God Cult, no successor is willing to offend a divine general.

"This place doesn't seem to be far from the Nine Nether Space-Time. I happen to have the coordinates of a divine kingdom near the Nine Nether Space-Time, so I can just teleport there directly."

After Lu Qingshan left, the God of Mantuo returned to his palace and teleported directly into the Ancestral Mystic Realm.

Then, with repeated teleportations, they arrived at the location marked by Lu Qingshan in just half a day.

"This is it... There are indeed some problems."

A hint of anticipation flashed in the eyes of the Mandala God General.

If there really is a spatial core here, then I've hit the jackpot!
"here!"

With a wave of his hand, the God of Mando created a spatial wormhole, which he then entered directly.

"This is the exact coordinate, no doubt about it. It's an undiscovered continent. That Blood Nether King really got lucky, haha. But that guy is smart too. Knowing he couldn't obtain it, he traded it with me for a World Lord-level Tree of Life. Could it be that there's something wrong with the Blood Nether King's Divine Kingdom? Is it unstable and needs this Tree of Life to maintain it?"

The God of Mando didn't think much of it. He didn't need to care what a King-level inheritor was thinking. He randomly found a wormhole and traveled into it, where he saw a broken piece of armor scales.

There really are people here.

Looking at the material of the armor, which was just ordinary king-level armor, General Mantuo paid no attention and entered the wormhole again.

They reappeared, this time in a vast landmass.

The Mandala God will open the detector.

At first glance, one could see a mysterious valley hundreds of millions of kilometers ahead. Within the valley were five pools of various colors, a dazzling array of hues, and the water flowing within them exuded an extremely pure aura of law.

Above this colorful pool, countless spatial fissures appeared. At the very center of these fissures was a spherical, transparent crystal.

"It's the Heart of Space! It's definitely the Heart of Space!!"

The Mandala God was overjoyed.

He came here just to try his luck, but he never expected to actually discover the Heart of Space.

and.

This is still a space core that is about to mature, and it will probably only take about 10 eras to mature.

Ten epochs—for the God General Mantuo, whose cultivation level had reached its limit, it was merely a fleeting moment…

Having obtained the inheritance of a divine general, one's strength is comparable to that of a top-tier cosmic overlord, even a cosmic master. However, the price is that one's realm cannot be improved, and one forever loses the opportunity to become a cosmic master.

While his realm couldn't be improved, his strength wasn't. With his divine kingdom stabilized by the Tree of Life, he had secretly killed beings of the same level and even nearly caused the fall of a universe lord. Unfortunately, that universe lord escaped, revealing his secret to everyone.

Even an ordinary successor to a royal title now knows that he possesses the Tree of Life.

If he were to obtain this spatial core and have it refined into a supreme treasure, his strength would undoubtedly increase, and he wouldn't need to worry even if he faced the Lord of the Universe as an enemy in reality.

"This core of space still has a guardian!"

The Mandala God did not forget this matter.

With a wave of his hand, his powerful divine force directly protected the Heart of Space.

In this way, the nurturing of this spatial core can be avoided during the battle.

Then came the waiting.

Waiting for the so-called guardian to appear.

……

This wait lasted for more than a year.

A spatial fluctuation flashed through the wormhole, and a towering figure with a huge snake tail and three faces appeared.

He held a black scepter in his hand.

"3000 epochs have passed. I've waited 3000 epochs. The Heart of Space is finally about to mature. I need to be careful lately. Before the Heart of Space matures, many unusual phenomena will definitely occur. I can't let other inheritors discover them. This is my opportunity!"

He sighed and then looked at the spatial core above the five-colored pool.

"wrong!"

The expressions of the three figures changed slightly.

"You finally showed up..."

A voice rang out, followed by a soul attack.

“Mandala…”

The three-faced, snake-tailed figure was terrified.

However, his fear was only brief, and he was then completely immersed in the illusion.

"Having guarded you for three thousand epochs, we must have developed deep feelings for you, so we can't let you stay!"

The Mandala God raised his hand.

A giant golden hand slammed directly towards them.

The three-faced, snake-tailed figure was already trapped in an illusion and had no way to dodge.

Faced with an attack comparable to that of the Lord of the Universe, the divine body shattered instantly and could not be reformed.

They destroyed this successor of the cosmic venerable one.

Looking at the condensing spatial core, the God of Mando withdrew his protective divine power.

Divine power outside would hinder gestation... He did this just now for safety, but who knew that the so-called guardian was just an ordinary cosmic venerable.

"For the next ten eras, I will remain here to wait for the Blood Nether King..."

The God of Mando thought for a moment.

He had no intention of killing anyone to cover it up.

In the Ancestral God Sect... the status of a Divine General is already extremely high. Once he occupies this place, no one will compete with him, and the Blood Nether King probably won't say a word.

Think about it.

The God of Mando teleported back to his residence and handed a world ring to his subordinate.

"King Bodhidharma, go to the Blood Nether King's residence and personally hand over this World Ring to him."

"Yes!"

Bodhidharma did not ask any further questions, picked up the World Ring, and got up to leave.

The God of Mando chuckled softly, then teleported to the Land of Five Colors and Splendor. For the next 10 eras, he would guard this place until the Heart of Space matured.
