The Nine Secrets of Swallowing the Stars Combined

No matter how many methods he came up with, Ba Qi still had no confidence.

He couldn't guarantee that he could safely bring the Beast God's Egg to the Blood World.

Staying with them will only bring trouble, while taking them out will be fraught with danger!

After much deliberation, Ba Qi finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind, a resolute glint in his eyes.

He decided to go all the way and directly detonate the Beast God's Egg!

In this way, there is no need to risk taking it out, nor to leave it on the Blood Continent as a hidden danger.

At worst, he can just rebuild himself after he leaves the Blood Luo World!

"It's just a waste of energy collected over a thousand years," Ba Qi consoled himself.

"Once we join the Virtual Universe Company, getting more Universe Crystals will be a piece of cake!"

Even so, Ba Qi was still heartbroken.

Over the past thousand years, with the help of the Immortal Temple and the Blood God Guard, he has been able to collect a massive amount of energy, allowing the Golden Beast God Egg to grow to a diameter of over three hundred kilometers, resembling a small golden star.

It's impossible not to feel heartbroken to see a thousand years of hard work vanish in an instant.

. . . . . .

The inner world of Ba Qi.

In the void, a wisp of world power condensed, and an avatar of his appeared in the sky, gazing intently into the distance.

Not far away, the golden beast god's egg, with a diameter of more than 300 kilometers, floated, its shell shimmering with golden light and containing earth-shattering energy.

A hint of heartache flashed across Ba Qi's face, his eyes filled with reluctance.

But this reluctance vanished in an instant, replaced by a resolute determination—success or failure hinged on this moment, and he had no way out.

With a thought, an invisible force swept out and landed on the Beast God's egg.

"Click—click—"

A crisp cracking sound instantly resounded throughout the entire inner world. Countless fine cracks instantly appeared on the surface of the enormous golden egg, spreading out like a spider web, with golden light overflowing wildly from the cracks.

"BOOM!!!"

A deafening roar reverberated through the inner world, and the golden beast god's egg exploded, unleashing boundless energy that swept in all directions like a tsunami.

A thousand years of effort, all gone in a single day.

Having done all this, the avatar of Ba Qi sighed softly, his brows furrowed with weariness and melancholy, before turning into a wisp of light and disappearing.

……

Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the palace, Ba Qi, clad in armor and standing tall, bowed respectfully to the Bloodfire God before him: "Teacher."

The Bloodfire God Lord looked pleased, his eyes filled with anticipation: "Is everything arranged?"

Ba Qi nodded: "Disciple has made all the arrangements and is ready to depart at any time."

"Then let's go." The Bloodfire God nodded and immediately used teleportation, disappearing from the palace with Ba Qi in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, the two arrived at the core area of ​​the Immortal Temple and stood in front of the elder's blood-red palace.

The palace was shrouded in a blood-red aura, exuding an astonishing pressure. Apart from the eight guards, ordinary immortals were not even qualified to approach it.

The Bloodfire God stood at the door, looking at Ba Qi with pride and reluctance in his eyes.

His disciple had become a legendary Black Warrior, an honor that was enough to make him stand out from the other gods.

Ba Qi bowed respectfully to the Bloodfire God Lord, knowing that this parting was the last time they would meet.

Unless he reaches the level of a master of the universe, he probably can forget about returning to the Blood Luo World.

The Bloodfire God Lord thought so too; his disciple was going to the Beast God's inheritance site, and only by reaching the Elder level could he break through the barrier and emerge.

However, throughout history, no Black Warriors have returned yet; they are all clearly still diligently cultivating their skills and passing on their traditions.

"Master, your disciple is leaving." Ba Qi said to the Bloodfire God Lord, then turned around and resolutely walked towards the gate of the blood-red palace.

The eight immortal guards at the entrance had already received orders and respectfully opened the palace doors.

……

The hall was dimly lit, except for the golden throne above which emitted a golden light. The blurry figure on the throne was surrounded by a blood-red aura, and the oppressive aura made the air in the hall seem stagnant.

"You've come." A deep, authoritative voice rang out, completely calm.

Ba Qi bowed respectfully, his tone calm and composed: "Greetings, Elder."

"Are you ready?" the figure on the throne asked calmly.

"Yes, Elder, Ba Qi is ready." Ba Qi raised his head slightly, his gaze firm, without the slightest fear.

"Whom should we take with us?"

"There is only one Blood God Guard, with a total of thirty-three people," Ba Qi answered truthfully.

When the Virtual Universe Company receives Black Warriors and Venerables who have broken through to the King level, they are allowed to bring a group of relatives and friends with them.

Ba Qi was an orphan since childhood, with no relatives or friends. The only person he wanted to take away was the Blood God Guard who loyally followed him.

He originally wanted to take the Bloodfire God and the wild beast Qi Niu, with whom he had a good relationship, with him, but the elder refused.

At this moment, the elder looked at Ba Qi and slowly said, "Bloodfire and Qi Niu, once you are strong enough, you can come back to guide them. They cannot leave now. This is the rule of the Virtual Universe Company, and no one can break it."

Ba Qi nodded upon hearing this.

The next moment, the figure on the golden throne slowly stood up, the void around him slightly distorted, and the blurry halo surrounding him gradually dissipated, revealing his true appearance.

It was a middle-aged human man with long black hair, wearing purple armor with intricate patterns engraved on it, exuding a powerful aura of immortality. His appearance was somewhat similar to that of humans on Earth, but he had a more weathered and dignified air about him.

"You may call me Venerable Ziyi." The elder, who had revealed his true face, looked at Ba Qi, who was filled with surprise, and smiled gently. His tone was casual, without any airs of a cosmic venerable.

Ba Qi quickly composed himself and bowed respectfully again: "Greetings, Venerable Ziyi."

"No need for formalities," Venerable Ziyi waved his hand.

Ba Qi was increasingly surprised; this Venerable Zi Yi seemed to be being far too polite to him.

Seemingly discerning Ba Qi's thoughts, Venerable Zi Yi smiled and said, "Remember, whether it's the Blood Luo Continent or the Primordial Universe, the strong are always respected. You are a Black Warrior, and one of the best in history, destined for extraordinary achievements."

"I have reported your information to higher authorities, and several great figures are already paying attention to you."

"Your talent is already outstanding. With the support of the Virtual Universe Company and the guidance of a super strong person, the probability of you becoming a Universe Venerable in the future is extremely high. Sooner or later, you will stand on the same level as me."

Ba Qi was stunned, utterly astonished.

He never expected that this Venerable Ziyi would think so highly of him, even asserting that he had a very high probability of becoming a Universe Venerable.

This is a very high evaluation.

Ba Qi was unaware that all the human Black Warriors of the past had achieved extraordinary accomplishments; otherwise, the higher-ups of the human race would not have attached such importance to the Black Warrior group.

Seeing his shocked expression, Venerable Ziyi was about to say a few more words when his gaze suddenly turned to the outside of the hall, and he paused, saying, "Hmm, I wanted to chat a little longer, but unfortunately, the person who was supposed to guide you has already arrived."
