The Nine Secrets of Swallowing the Stars Combined

"But you don't need to worry about this, Eighth Brother. After each of us Black Warriors is guided, the Virtual Universe Company will directly give us this unique skill. You don't need to worry about not being able to afford it." Devouring Realm King smiled and winked at Ba Qi, speaking in a light tone.

"The Golden Beast God is the totem of our Blood Luo world, and each of us Black Warriors has fused with at least ten Blood Luo Crystals, each containing the bloodline power of the Beast God!" Venerable Shagu said with a smile, his tone full of pride. "Therefore, we are actually more blessed than the creator of this secret technique, Hirodo, in cultivating the 'Seven Kills of the Beast God'!"

Ba Qi nodded upon hearing this. Black warriors, who cultivate the path of the Beast God of Gold, do indeed have an advantage over others.

"I heard that after you reached the Realm Lord level, you fused five Blood Crystals in one go in just a thousand years. This shows that your talent and will are top-notch, even stronger than the rest of us." The Blood Domain Lord looked at Ba Qi, a smile of admiration in his eyes. "Very good!"

"That's really impressive."

"You have to admit it!"

"Ha ha!"

The others also spoke with smiles.

Ba Qi's talent amazed them and made them happy. As fellow members of the Blood Luo race, they were naturally in the same camp, sharing both glory and loss.

"For you, as long as you cultivate the 'Seven Kills of the Beast God' step by step, reaching the Universe Venerable realm is only a matter of time." The Blood Domain Lord looked at Ba Qi with gentle eyes, his tone solemn. "Once you fully master this ultimate technique, your strength will at least rival that of the former Herodo!"

"Blood Domain and I have now completely comprehended the 'Seven Kills of the Beast God,' reaching the level of Herodo back then," Venerable Golden Arrow continued, his tone tinged with regret. "Unfortunately, like him, we have absolutely no clue about that elusive seventh level. Otherwise, once we broke through, we could have transformed into Beast Gods, comparable to the Lords of the Universe!"

Upon hearing this, Ba Qi nodded slowly, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

The "Seven Kills of the Beast God" created by Herodo turned out to be such a perfect secret technique for the Black Warrior.

This secret technique is known as "Seven Kills," but it actually only has six levels. The seventh level has never been created. All practitioners of the Path of the Beast God, including Herodo, felt that it was ethereal and elusive, and had no way to begin cultivating it, let alone break through to the next level.

However, Ba Qi, who was familiar with the plot, knew that the core of the so-called seventh level of the secret technique was to comprehend the heart of the Beast God!

As the innate master of the universe, the Beast God was born standing at the pinnacle of the universe, possessing an innate nature of great freedom and unrestrained joy, roaming the starry sky at will.

The heart of the Beast God is to break free from all constraints and reach that state of great freedom.

Of course, even knowing this doesn't mean one can easily comprehend the heart of the Beast God. Taking this final step is still incredibly difficult.

"Herodo is a good man. He created this most suitable ultimate technique for us Black Warriors." Devouring King looked at Ba Qi and said with a smile, "Other warriors are still troubled by choosing the ultimate technique that suits them, but we don't have to at all, saving us a lot of trouble."

Upon hearing this, Ba Qi smiled, his heart filled with agreement.

"If you have any questions about the cultivation of the Seven Kills of the Beast God, you can come to us at any time," the Blood Domain Lord said.

"Good, go ahead and speak."

"Don't be shy, we all come from the Blood Luo World, we are all brothers from the same hometown, we are all the same."

The others also spoke up with smiles, their tone full of sincerity.

Ba Qi's face was full of smiles, his heart was filled with warmth, and he kept nodding and thanking him.

At the same time, he was increasingly surprised—these seniors all seemed to be very outgoing, kind and friendly, not at all like the aloof and unsociable people that Venerable Ziyi and Palace Master Tianshi had described.

Ba Qi was unaware that these seven powerful figures would only reveal their true feelings to him, a descendant of their homeland.

In front of other strong human groups, they are a completely different person—isolated, domineering, and tyrannical, forming their own small groups and never associating with outsiders. This is their true label among human groups.

"By the way, have you received an email from the Lord of the Universe?" Suddenly, the Devouring King seemed to remember something and asked.

Upon hearing this, the laughter in the hall instantly ceased, and everyone turned their gazes toward Ba Qi, their expressions showing concern.

"An email from the Lord of the Universe?" Ba Qi was slightly taken aback, then slowly shook his head, his tone puzzled. "There shouldn't be one. If there were, my AI life form, Dika, would have informed me immediately."

"Hmm, judging from the order in which we Black Warriors take on masters, your teacher should be the Lord of Ice Peak!" Venerable Golden Arrow stroked his chin and slowly said.

"The order of apprenticeship?" Ba Qi's eyes were full of surprise, clearly unaware of this.

"Haha, you don't know the ins and outs of this, do you? Let me tell you..." Devouring King said with a smile, his tone carrying a hint of revelation.

A moment later, Ba Qi's face showed understanding, and he completely understood the reason.

The Blood Luo World belongs to the Virtual Universe Company, and every Black Warrior who is introduced to the Blood Luo World will directly become a personal disciple of the Great Universe Lord.

Initially, when the first two Black Warriors were introduced, the three Universe Lords—the Lord of Chaos City, the Lord of Dragon Journey, and the Lord of Ice Peak—all sent emails expressing their willingness to take them as disciples.

After all, the Black Warrior's talent and potential are too extraordinary. As long as he cultivates the "Seven Kills of the Beast God" step by step, he is guaranteed to become a Universe Venerable, and he will most likely become a Universe Overlord like Herodo. Such a disciple would be highly valued even by the Lord of the Universe.

However, just as teachers choose their students, students will naturally choose their teachers as well.

As the leader of the Virtual Universe Company, the Chaos City Lord's strength and status are self-evident. Therefore, the first two Black Warriors who learned a little about the inside story did not hesitate to choose the Chaos City Lord as their teacher.

However, the fact that the three universe lords simultaneously expressed their desire to take on disciples resulted in the Chaos City Lord successfully taking on disciples twice in a row, which naturally made the Dragon Lord and the Ice Peak Lord feel ashamed.

Therefore, when the third Black Warrior was introduced, the Lord of Chaos City and the Lord of Ice Peak tacitly did not send emails, only the Lord of Dragon Journey sent an invitation.

The fourth Black Warrior was recruited as a disciple by the Lord of Ice Peak through a private email.

Over time, a tacit rule was formed—the Lord of Chaos City, the Lord of Dragon Journey, and the Lord of Ice Peak would take turns accepting Black Warriors as their disciples in that order.

Currently, apart from Venerable Bloodlust who is not a Black Warrior and was unable to become a disciple of a Universe Lord, the first six Black Warriors are all disciples of the three Universe Lords.

Just like the previous Black Warrior Devourer King, his teacher was the Lord of Dragons.

Therefore, in order of seniority, Ba Qi's teacher would naturally be the Lord of Ice Peak.
