The Nine Secrets of Swallowing the Stars Combined

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, ripples spread through the void of the main hall, and a burly human man with a single horn on his forehead, dressed in a dark and menacing armor, slowly stepped out from it.

"Greetings, Venerable Ziyi!" The one-horned man immediately bowed respectfully to Venerable Ziyi upon his appearance, saying in a deferential tone, "Venerable One, I have come to receive you on the orders of the Palace Master!"

Ba Qi, standing to the side, understood that the Palace Master mentioned by the other party was most likely the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master who was in charge of the Blood Luo World.

"Understood, take him there." Venerable Ziyi nodded slightly.

"Venerable One, I, Baqi, take my leave now." Baqi immediately bowed respectfully to Venerable Ziyi. Since the other party treated him so kindly, he naturally showed him the proper courtesy.

"Cultivate diligently, and perhaps in the future, the fate of this Blood Luo World will be changed because of you." Venerable Ziyi looked at Ba Qi and said with a faint smile.

Ba Qi nodded solemnly.

The next moment, the burly man with the single horn activated teleportation, and the vast spatial power instantly enveloped Ba Qi. The two figures disappeared from the hall in the blink of an eye.

……

Beyond the Blood Luo World, in the endless chaotic void.

A magnificent and vast palace floats silently, like an ancient and immovable interstellar fortress. Its size is even larger than that of an ordinary planet. It is the Heavenly Eclipse Palace that monitors the entire Blood Luo World at all times.

"brush!"

Just then, a slight ripple appeared in the void, and two figures materialized out of thin air—the one-horned immortal man and Ba Qi.

"This is... the Palace of Heavenly Eclipse?"

Ba Qi's gaze first swept over the Blood Luo World shrouded in endless clouds below, then locked onto the magnificent floating palace in the distance, his face showing undisguised surprise.

Seeing this, the immortal man with the single horn chuckled and said, "It seems that Venerable Ziyi has mentioned it to you quite a bit."

"The great Lord of the Eclipse Palace will see you in person. Come with me."

Upon hearing this, Ba Qi's heart stirred. Before he could recover, he was once again enveloped by the immense spatial power and instantly teleported.

Once the spatial fluctuations subsided, Ba Qi found himself inside a magnificent hall that stretched for thousands of kilometers.

"So many spaceships?" he thought to himself in surprise.

Inside this main hall, rows of standard spaceships were densely packed together, taking up almost half of the space. Each spaceship emitted a considerable energy fluctuation, clearly indicating that they were of extraordinary level.

Just then, several figures walked quickly towards them from the front.

"By order of the Palace Master, the person has been brought here," the one-horned immortal man beside Ba Qi said to the newcomer.

"King of Thorns, you've worked hard."

Leading the group was a red-skinned, Lord-level attendant dressed in silver armor and possessing four limbs. He stepped forward, smiling, and said, "Leave the rest to us."

"Hmm." The one-horned immortal man known as the Thorn Armor King nodded slightly, then moved and instantly disappeared.

"Are you His Highness Ba Qi?" The attendant of the realm master turned his gaze to Ba Qi, a smile on his face, his eyes full of curiosity as he looked him up and down.

"It's me." Ba Qi nodded, but a hint of surprise rose in his heart—the other party actually addressed him as Your Highness.

He knew very well that only the core geniuses of those secret realms among humans were qualified to enjoy this title.

Just like Luo Feng, he was only addressed as His Highness Luo Feng after entering the Primordial Secret Realm and the Primal Secret Realm.

"The Palace Master is already waiting for you. Please follow me." The Realm Master's attendant made a gesture to lead the way, his smile unchanged, but his heart was already filled with astonishment.

He had just received news that the great Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace was going to personally meet a human realm lord!

You should know that he has been in the Heavenly Eclipse Palace for hundreds of epochs, and he still has not been qualified to meet the Palace Master.

Logically speaking, even a peerless genius who appears only once every tens of thousands of epochs would not be of any interest to the Palace Master. So what kind of background does this Realm Master have that would make the Palace Master personally summon him?

"Thank you for your trouble." Ba Qi nodded slightly to the waiter, unable to hide his excitement.

After all, he was about to meet one of the three top cosmic overlords of the human race, a great being whose status and strength far surpassed ordinary cosmic venerables and was almost comparable to the cosmic lord—the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace!

Then, guided by the attendant of the realm lord, he proceeded along the magnificent white jade steps and soon arrived at the second floor of the palace.

"Your Highness, my authority only allows me to escort you to the second level. Anything beyond that is beyond my reach. However, there are already people waiting up there who will take you to the ninth level of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace to meet the Palace Master," the Realm Master's attendant said respectfully.

Ba Qi nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared not far away.

It was a burly man over three meters tall, with disheveled hair, carrying a heavy axe on his back, and exuding a faint aura of immortal power.

"Greetings, Your Excellency." The Realm Lord's attendant immediately bowed, his face full of respect.

Ba Qi also bowed slightly: "Greetings, Your Excellency."

"Come with me." The immortal strongman looked at Ba Qi expressionlessly, his voice low.

Upon seeing this, the attendant of the realm master bowed respectfully and then turned and withdrew.

As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible force gently lifted Ba Qi up like a giant hand, and then the two of them transformed into a streak of light and flew rapidly toward the ninth floor of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace.

Climbing upwards, layer by layer.

Ba Qi could clearly see that each level of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace was extremely magnificent, and the higher one went, the more intense the oppressive aura became.

In a short while, the immortal strongman led him to the ninth floor of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace.

Standing at the entrance of the main hall on the ninth floor, Ba Qi looked around, his eyes filled with undisguised shock.

This place is so magnificent that it far surpasses all the floors below.

At first glance, the entire hall is tens of thousands of kilometers long and wide, and nearly ten thousand kilometers high. Even a planet like Earth could be easily contained within this hall!

"Palace Master, the person has been brought here."

The immortal, muscular man beside him bowed, his tone extremely respectful.

"Palace Master?"

Ba Qi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately withdrew his gaze, following the gaze of the immortal strongman. Soon he saw the figure deep in the hall.

It was a human figure, dressed in a silver robe, with his back to them, and long, brownish-red hair casually draped behind him.

"Go ahead."

A calm voice rang out, not loud, but clearly echoing in every inch of this magnificent hall, as if the very origin of the universe was resonating with it.

"yes!"

The immortal strongman bowed in response, then turned and transformed into a streak of light, instantly disappearing from the hall.

"Ba Qi pays respects to the Palace Master of Heavenly Eclipse!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Ba Qi knelt down on one knee, his face full of utmost respect.

The man before us is none other than the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace, whose fame resounds throughout the primordial universe. He is one of the three top universe overlords among the human race, whose strength and status far surpass those of ordinary universe venerables and are infinitely close to the Lord of the Universe!

Deep within the main hall, the figure slowly turned around.

He had long, reddish-brown hair, skin as smooth as jade, and a pair of deep black eyes as dark as the starry sky. There was a mysterious vertical line between his eyebrows. In terms of appearance and height, he was almost indistinguishable from a human on Earth.

He didn't look particularly tall, but in his presence, Ba Qi felt as if he were facing the entire vast universe, and an uncontrollable sense of awe from the depths of his soul welled up within him.

"Blood God Tyrant".

The Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace looked at him, a faint smile playing on her lips, and called out.

Upon hearing this title, Ba Qi immediately felt somewhat embarrassed.

The title "Blood God" was merely a casually passed-down name given to him by those who revered him in the Blood Luo World. Now, for it to be uttered by the dignified Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
