The Nine Secrets of Swallowing the Stars Combined

"At the planetary level, he fused with three Blood Crystals and became a Blood Warrior."

"Under the harsh constraints of the Blood Luo World, he broke through to the World Lord level in less than an era, and in just a thousand years, he fused five Blood Luo Crystals in succession, becoming the legendary Black Warrior."

The Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace spoke slowly, his voice calm yet possessing a penetrating power, each word clearly reaching Ba Qi's ears.

"Your talent is indeed very strong."

Upon hearing this, Ba Qi's heart tightened instantly, and he subconsciously held his breath.

He knew very well that it had only taken him a little over a thousand years to go from breaking through to the World Lord realm to fusing with five Blood Crystals, a speed that was truly terrifying.

The difficulty of fusing Blood Crystals increases with each crystal, and the difficulty increases several times or even ten times with each additional crystal fused.

If it were a long process of gradually fusing five Blood Crystals, that would be more reasonable.

To fuse five Blood Crystals in one go over a thousand years—to achieve this, no one would believe it without a special encounter.

"I am the number one genius in the Blood Luo World for billions of years. Even if I have some special opportunities, it is not surprising and should not cause too much of a stir," Ba Qi thought to himself.

Although he was nervous, he wasn't too worried.

Which genius hasn't had their share of opportunities?

Just as Ba Qi's mind tightened slightly, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace changed the subject and spoke again.

"I suppose Venerable Ziyi has already told you the truth about your hometown."

Before he finished speaking, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace slowly stepped forward, causing the surrounding void to ripple slightly. His figure, which was originally deep in the main hall, had already appeared a few steps away from Ba Qi.

He didn't exude any pressure, but Ba Qi felt that his soul had been completely seen through, and not even a single impure thought could escape his notice.

"Reporting to the Palace Master, Venerable Ziyi has already informed you of everything." Ba Qi quickly composed himself, bowed his head, and spoke with increasing respect.

"So, what's your opinion?" The Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace looked at him, a faint smile on her lips.

Ba Qi was slightly taken aback, then realized that the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master was asking about his opinion on the human race's banning and punishing of the Blood Luo World.

The Venerable Ziyi had asked him this question once before, and he had already prepared his answer.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ba Qi immediately repeated to the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master the words he had previously spoken to Venerable Zi Yi.

Upon hearing Ba Qi's reply, the smile on the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master's face deepened, and a hint of undisguised admiration flashed in his eyes.

"Interesting. Compared to the others before you, you have a clearer understanding and are more open-minded."

Ba Qi was not surprised when he heard this.

Previously, when Venerable Ziyi heard his answer, he also had the same satisfied attitude.

He knew very well that the higher-ups of the human race were most wary of geniuses selected from the Blood Luo World, who harbored resentment and dissatisfaction towards their race because of the past of their home world, and ultimately went astray.

His attitude is exactly what these high-ranking officials want to see.

Just then, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace looked at him and suddenly sighed softly.

"Before we besieged the Golden Beast God, we had already secretly contacted the human powerhouses in the Blood Luo World, who were your ancestors."

"Unfortunately, they have long revered the Golden Beast God as a totem and regarded him as their ancestor. Instead, they regard us, their own kind, as enemies who want to destroy their homeland, and would rather die than return to their tribe."

"We can understand this, though," the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse said calmly. "After all, they were abducted by the Golden Beast God countless ages ago and have long since separated from the human race."

"Moreover, during those long years, the Golden Beast God did treat them well, spending a huge amount of resources to nurture them, which led to their later achievements."

Upon hearing this, Ba Qi nodded silently.

He already knew from Venerable Ziyi that before the Blood Luo World was shattered in the ancient war, it was far more vast than it is now. It was inhabited by countless races that had been captured by the Golden Beast God and was the Golden Beast God's core base in the primordial universe.

The innate beast god is a treasure trove. Just a trace of killing intent mixed into its blood can be used to refine the Blood Luo Crystal, a supreme treasure that can enhance the level of life genes. Under its nurturing, it is only natural that countless powerful beings have been born in the Blood Luo World.

"At its peak, the Blood Luo World boasted nearly a hundred cosmic overlords and over a thousand cosmic venerables. As for immortal gods, they were as numerous as stars in the sky," the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master said with a hint of admiration. "The human race alone produced two cosmic overlords and over a dozen cosmic venerables. This level of strength would have allowed them to occupy a territory even in the primordial universe, surpassing even the Golden Horn Clan led by Herodo back then."

Upon hearing this, Ba Qi could not hide his surprise.

These secrets were not previously revealed to him by Venerable Ziyi.

He only knew that the Blood Luo World was very strong back then, but he never expected it to be this strong.

"The Beast God of Gold nurtured them, and they ultimately chose to die fighting for the Beast God. This cause and effect is understandable," the Palace Master of Heavenly Eclipse continued. "But betraying their race is an undeniable fact."

"No matter how many reasons there are, the rules of the community cannot be broken."

"If betraying one's own kind goes unpunished, then the fundamental rules of our human race, established over millions of years, will be broken, and the entire race will fall apart."

Ba Qi agreed wholeheartedly and nodded solemnly once again.

He knew very well that the reason why the human race was able to gain a foothold in the primitive universe and become one of the top races was because of its ironclad rules and racial cohesion. Zero tolerance for traitors was a principle engraved in their bones.

"Before you, there were seven powerful individuals who emerged from the Blood Luo World." The Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master looked at Ba Qi and slowly revealed a piece of news that shocked him. "Six of them have already broken through to the Universe Venerable Realm, and the two strongest among them have even possessed the combat power of a Universe Overlord."

"You should know what a cosmic overlord is, right?"

Ba Qi nodded. The information that Venerable Ziyi had given him was very comprehensive, and it contained a lot of information that even ordinary immortal gods in the primordial universe were not qualified to access.

The words of the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace deeply shocked Ba Qi.

Of the seven people in the Blood Luo World before, six are now Cosmic Venerables, and two have even become Cosmic Overlords!

It should be noted that among the human race, the Cosmic Venerable is already considered a high-level combatant, while the Cosmic Overlord is an even more powerful figure who can hold sway over a region. Their strength and status are second only to the Cosmic Lord, and even among the five major forces such as the Virtual Universe Company, they are considered absolute core figures.

He originally thought that Black Warriors only had great potential, but he never expected that predecessors had already reached this level.
