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

Chapter 340 The Insect King's Shock, His Plan

On Zijing Island Square.

As Lu Qingshan left the place of inheritance, he saw that many inheritors had gathered there.

"Blood King, congratulations!"

"Blood Nether King, congratulations on becoming the fourth inheritor."

……

Greetings came from all around, and Lu Qingshan responded to each one, nodding to several familiar inheritors. His gaze then focused on several demon clan inheritors.

Then, Lu Qingshan walked over.

There are five inheritors of the demon race, including one of the only two fourth-level inheritors at the King level.

He is the most powerful King of the Nine Meng Clan among the demon race, an invincible king among the Nine Meng Clan of the eighteen royal families of the demon race.

The Nine Meng Clan holds an extremely high position among the demon race. Upon reaching adulthood, they possess eight times the genetic level, second only to the Starry Sky Giant Beasts. Within the Nine Meng Clan, only the strongest King-level powerhouse can possess the title of Nine Meng King, a symbol of strength and status.

The Nine Kings are stronger than the True King of the human race. Of course, it would be extremely difficult for them to kill the True King.

The remaining few were equally extraordinary, all members of the demon race's royal family and royal clan, though their strength was inferior to that of King Jiu Meng. Among the many inheritors of the demon race, these few were considered the core of the core.

"You demon scum, don't you hate me to the bone? I've broken through to the fourth level of inheritor, so why haven't I seen a single challenge letter from you demons? Have you demons already backed down and will avoid me from now on?"

Upon hearing this, the group of inheritors all showed expressions of interest.

Blood Ghost King is indeed extraordinary.

They completely disregarded these demon clan inheritors.

They all knew the origins of the feud between the demon race and the Blood Nether King.

On his way to the Ancestral God Cult, Blood Nether King had clashed with the inheritors of the demon race. He had been challenged by countless inheritors of the demon race during his second and third stages.

This demon race has already suffered several losses at the hands of the Blood Nether King.

"Blood Nether King! You only dare to be arrogant on Purple Thorn Island. You don't even dare to go to the Ancestral Mystic Realm, so don't spout nonsense here!"

King Jiu Meng let out a muffled groan, his massive body exuding a powerful aura.

"Heh, you don't believe me when I say you demons are stupid. What does it matter to you whether I go to the Ancestral Mystic Realm or not? Do I have to report to you demons every time I go to the Ancestral Mystic Realm?"

Lu Qingshan chuckled.

"It's not shameful to not dare to challenge, but it is a bit shameful to deny it. You, King Jiu Meng, are also a fourth-level inheritor, yet you don't even have the courage to fight me. I guess you'll remain like this in the future. What a pity. I don't even know how to spend 10,000 Glory Points. Thank you for your contribution, demon race."

After saying this, he brushed past King Jiu Meng without ever glancing at the other demon clan inheritors.

"This guy is too arrogant!"

"This Blood Nether King has just broken through to the fourth level, and Nine Mist King, you..."

"Foolish, don't be fooled. Have you forgotten the lessons learned from the second and third levels? Both the Golden-Eyed King and I are only early-stage inheritors of the fourth level, and we may not be able to defeat him. If a Universe Venerable challenges him, he can simply refuse and even use it to mock our demon race."

"Yes, if the Universe Venerable challenges him, he can rightfully refuse, which will only make other races look down on our demon race."

"This Blood Nether King is too foolish, recklessly provoking our demon race. Not only Venerable Burning Annihilation, but many of our demon race's Venerables also deeply hate him. As long as he leaves the area of ​​the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, our demon race's experts will definitely kill him!"

"I'm afraid he'll wait until he reaches the level of a Universe Venerable before leaving, that would be troublesome."

"Is it so easy to break through to the level of a Cosmic Venerable? Don't worry, he won't be arrogant for long!"

Several demon clan inheritors secretly communicated.

Lu Qingshan naturally didn't care what the demons were discussing. He walked over to the several inheritors of the Hong Alliance.

"Prince Li Shuo, Prince Qian Yu..."

"Blood Nether King, you are truly amazing. Even the Nine Kings of the demon race dare not challenge you."

King Qianyu spoke with a smile.

"Haha, that's how those demon scum are, bullying the weak and fearing the strong."

After greeting the two, Lu Qingshan looked at the Dragon Whale King, who was wearing a wide golden robe.

"Dragon Whale King, weren't you supposed to be in seclusion cultivating lately? What are you doing here?"

A smile bloomed on the Dragon Whale King's round face: "I've reached a bottleneck. It's hard to make any more progress if I continue to cultivate. I was planning to come here to receive the third level of inheritance, but I didn't expect to run into you."

"You've finally agreed to accept the inheritance! I wish you a successful comprehension of the laws of space and the fourth level of inheritance, and that you will become a cosmic venerable one!"

Lu Qingshan said with a smile.

"Haha, thank you for your kind words. However, I dare not dream of becoming a fourth-level inheritor. I'll be content with the third level being perfect. I just hope that this inheritance can help me find that last bit of opportunity. If I can comprehend the laws of space, I will definitely treat everyone to drinks."

"it is good."

After chatting with the group for a few minutes, Lu Qingshan turned and left, returning to his residence on Zijing Island. Before leaving, he glanced at the Dragon Whale King a few times.

"I hope my second senior brother can comprehend the laws of space this time! At that time, our Qianwu lineage will have two cosmic venerables!"

Although the second senior brother has average potential, he has a good temperament and has persevered for countless years to reach the final step. Perhaps he can truly accumulate knowledge and skills and then comprehend the laws of space in one fell swoop, becoming a cosmic venerable!
Upon returning to his residence, Lu Qingshan closed the gates.

Having just received the fourth level of inheritance, there is still much knowledge that I haven't had time to digest.

This time was different from the previous two times. He really wasn't pretending to be weak. At this moment, he was only at the entry level of the fourth level, and any fourth-level inheritor would surpass him in terms of understanding of the laws.

However, the previous challenge was not a ruse. King Jiu Meng was only a fourth-level beginner inheritor. If he were to challenge him, Lu Qingshan could still crush him with his ultimate secret technique, which has a 70x amplitude.

However, if it were a challenge from the successor of a demon race universe venerable, Lu Qingshan would naturally not accept it.

One day, two days.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

After three years, Lu Qingshan finally transformed the content of his previous inheritance. Thanks to the help of the Eye of the Beast God, the effect of his one inheritance was comparable to that of other inheritors' several inheritances.

If others are considered remarkable if they can convert one percent of the inheritance in one go, he can convert at least five percent.

This transformation allowed him to take a small step forward on the path of becoming a fourth-level inheritor.

Although he is still a fourth-level entry-level inheritor, there is not much difference between him and inheritors like King Jiu Meng.

"Based on my understanding of the laws of time, the fourth level of the Path of the Beast God is almost at its limit. Continuing to pass it on will yield little benefit. Let's stick to the previous plan, first thoroughly comprehend the laws of time, and then work on the body's amplitude and gene multiplication."

Lu Qingshan glanced at the three Time Compasses that had run out of energy, frowned slightly, and then entered the Glory World.

Although he still had two bottles of Ice Prison Dew left on him, the more the merrier. He sent a message to Zi Kou Flora, and the two soon met in the Glory World.

"Congratulations, Blood Nether King... From now on, among all the kings in our team, your understanding of the laws will be second only to the Insect-Chasing King!"

Flora was very enthusiastic and pulled Lu Qingshan to sit down next to her.

"It's alright, but I'm almost at my limit too. I can only try to find a way out from other places. Have you prepared the Ice Prison Dew that I asked you to prepare?" Lu Qingshan asked. "Of course... How could I not take your orders, Blood Nether King, to heart? I made a special trip back to my clan for this matter and exchanged a lot of Ice Prison Dew with those Qingdou bandits. I even used up all the Ice Prison Star Stones I had on me. A total of one hundred bottles."

"One hundred honor points, right?"

Lu Qingshan confirmed.

“Hmm, one hundred Glory Points. If you want to give me more, I won’t refuse.” Flora blinked.

However, she was clearly overthinking things. Lu Qingshan simply nodded and then asked, "I am now a fourth-level inheritor. How can I transfer the Glory Points to you?"

Flora is only a successor at the peak of the third level, so the two cannot directly engage in a duel.

"That's no problem. The Insect King will be happy to help. You challenge him to a duel, lose to him 100 Glory Points, and he'll find a way to give them to me..."

"Okay, I'll ask him."

Lu Qingshan then sent a message to the Insect King.

Clearly, this wasn't the first time the Insect King had done something like this.

He skillfully sent a challenge to Lu Qingshan.

After confirmation.

Lu Qingshan disappeared directly from the open-air plaza and entered the battle world.

This is a vast universe, devoid of any celestial bodies, only emptiness and darkness.

Lu Qingshan had fought countless battles before reaching the fourth level, but he had never encountered a battle space like this before.

Opposite him stood the Insect King, three meters tall, whose entire body resembled a crystal.

In the battle world, everyone has a divine body that is 100,000 times larger, and the size of the divine bodies is exactly the same. This situation is extremely disadvantageous for the Insect King, so among the fourth level inheritors, his ranking is only in the lower middle.

However, in reality, almost no fourth-level inheritor could rival him.

"Blood King, congratulations on becoming the fourth level inheritor. You are the second fourth level inheritor among the immortal kings of our special life team... This time it's one hundred honor points, right? I've already set it up. Please agree."

"Okay, thank you for your help, Insect King."

"Blood King, don't hold back. Fight normally and let me see your true strength!"

"no problem!"

……

The battle begins.

With a single step, Lu Qingshan's body traversed countless star rivers. His two sharp claws, carrying unparalleled power, aimed directly at the throat of the Insect King.

"The speed is good."

The Insect King took out a crystal-clear round stick, its surface covered with spiral-like stripes.

Armed with his weapon, the Insect King charged forward.

"Clang clang clang!!"

The Insect King's round staff weapon instantly blocked all the claw attacks. At the moment of impact, space distorted, and a black hole slowly formed.

"Come again!"

Lu Qingshan was not surprised. He increased his attack speed again, and countless claw shadows appeared in the starry sky, like a huge, impenetrable net.

The Insect King's speed also increased dramatically, precisely weaving through every gap in the attack, and the round staff in his hand blocked all of the Blood Ghost King's attacks.

In a flash.

The two sides have already exchanged tens of thousands of blows.

In terms of movement speed, Blood Nether King is faster, but in terms of power, Insect Chaser King is clearly stronger.

Moreover, this is a world of battle. In reality, the Blood Ghost King's attacks would not need to be dodged by the Insect King at all, and his attacks would be at least thousands of times stronger!
"Tear the sky apart!!"

After a long and evenly matched battle, Lu Qingshan stopped holding back and used his ultimate secret technique.

It came with a single claw.

It felt as if we had traversed time and space.

From the perspective of the Insect King, the claw was getting faster and faster, and it was also getting bigger and bigger.

"This move..." Even the King of Insects was shocked. He knew that this was the Blood Nether King's ultimate secret technique. Only now, experiencing it firsthand, did he realize how terrifying this move was. How did the Blood Nether King cultivate it and create such a terrifying move?

"Block!"

The Insect King roared in anger.

His body swelled up and burst into flames.

The transparent crystal staff in his hand also grew larger, carrying a faint green light, and blasted towards the huge claw shadow.

"Boom!"

The Insect King's body flew backward, the flames on his body slowly dissipated, and countless tears appeared on his crystal armor.

Looking at Blood Nether King again, he took a breath and said, "Blood Nether King, if you burn your divine body, I cannot withstand this attack!"

He was utterly shocked.

This Blood Nether King is indeed heaven-defying. He doesn't seem to be a mere inheritor who has just entered the fourth level of cultivation. Moreover, this ultimate secret technique is too powerful!

The Insect King believed his talent was not bad, but compared to the Blood Nether King, his comprehension was probably far behind.

Among the hundreds of millions of inheritors of the Ancestral God Sect, only a few who were granted the title of King created the ultimate secret technique.

"King of Insects, you're quite formidable too. You're the first to block my attack."

Lu Qingshan echoed with admiration.

The ultimate secret technique, if used against someone of the same level, would basically be an instant kill. Although the King of Insects burned his divine body, he managed to block it, and that was that.

"My divine body has suffered great losses. Even if I fight for a long time, I will still fail. In the world of battle, I am no match for you. Let's end this."

"it is good."

Lu Qingshan did not move this time, letting the staff smash his body to pieces.

[Result of the bet: Loss. 100 Glory Points deducted.]

The notification sounded, and Lu Qingshan's figure disappeared.
