The Nine Secrets of Swallowing the Stars Combined

Soul enslavement is even more terrifying than soul annihilation. It can be said to be the most insidious and feared killing move in the universe, especially for beings below the level of the universe lord, for whom it is virtually unsolvable.

After all, even if the body and soul are completely destroyed, as long as the Lord of the Universe is willing to intervene, time and space can be reversed and the person can be resurrected.

But once enslaved by the soul, even if one is resurrected and returns from the reversal of time, one will still be unable to escape the fate of being enslaved and will never be able to turn the tables!

This is precisely why this tactic has always been the most common method used by various races in the universe to deal with geniuses from other races.

Just like the Zerg, who are most skilled at using soul manipulation to enslave humans and even other races, directly rendering the universe's time-reversal techniques completely ineffective.

However, such insidious and deadly moves have no effect on the current Ba Qi.

This is because his clone, under the blessing of the digital secret, shares the same will, but even the soul and consciousness are completely independent.

Other powerful beings in the cosmic sea, although they have clones, share a common soul consciousness with each other and are not independent of one another.

In this way, once a single clone is enslaved by the soul, the other clones will naturally also perish.

But the situation is different for the powerful and influential.

Even if the consciousness and soul of one clone are enslaved, the other clones remain unaffected.

Moreover, by sharing will, Ba Qi can control consciousness with his willpower at the first moment, directly causing the enslaved clone to self-destruct, and then be reborn.

This is the incredible power of the digital secrets!

"It's a pity that if it weren't for the existence of that old fellow, Zuo Shan Ke, I could roam freely throughout the entire universe. Who would I be afraid of?" Ba Qi couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart.

"Hopefully, among the Nine Secrets, there is a way to counter the Secret Technique of Will."

The next moment, Ba Qi took one last look at the hundreds of meters golden beast god egg that was quietly floating in the void. This avatar, which had been condensed in his inner world, turned into specks of golden light and completely dissipated into the world.

. . . . . . . .

Inside the dark hall, Ba Qi himself sat high on the pitch-black throne engraved with mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

He raised his hand to the communication device on his wrist, and then calmly issued the command: "Ah Yi, Ah Er, come to see me immediately."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than two figures darted into the hall like ghosts, kneeling heavily on one knee, heads bowed, their voices filled with heartfelt reverence: "My lord!"

Both of them were Domain Lord-level warriors clad in bronze armor. Their auras were deep and fierce, and they had already reached the peak of the ninth level of Domain Lord. A trace of the nascent power of the world was faintly swirling around them, indicating that they were only one step away from breaking through to the World Lord level.

Ba Qi lowered his eyes and looked down at the two people below.

These two were his first right-hand men, and they are now the commanders of his Blood God Guards.

The Blood God Guard is still in its infancy, with only about twenty members, far fewer than the ninety-six members Luo Feng had when he arrived in the original story. Yet, it is already the sharpest blade in his hand.

"I called you here to tell you something," Ba Qi said slowly, looking at A Yi and A Er. "I have now broken through and entered the world-class realm."

The words had barely left his mouth when the two kneeling figures trembled, abruptly raising their heads. Their eyes blazed with barely concealed elation as they kowtowed again, exclaiming, "Congratulations, Your Excellency! Congratulations, Your Excellency!"

These two were originally martial artists with remarkable talent in the Blood Luo World. Each of them successfully fused with a Blood Luo Crystal, and their combat power was among the top in the Domain Lord level. It was precisely because of this that they were chosen by Ba Qi and recruited into the Blood God Guard.

Their submission to the powerful relatives was already ingrained in their very bones.

Becoming a Blood Warrior at the Earth level and fusing five Blood Luo Crystals at the Domain level—the greatest genius in the Blood Luo Continent for billions of years—is enough to make any martial artist bow down.

In their eyes, the stronger Ba Qi is, the higher his status in the Immortal Temple, and the more opportunities and resources they, the Blood God Guards, can get.

"Once you reach the world-class level, you'll be qualified to lead a world city, expand your territory, and wage war against other nations!"

"We, the Blood God Guards, are willing to be your vanguard, slaughtering in all directions and crushing all obstacles!"

Ah Yi and Ah Er spoke with great excitement, already prepared to follow Ba Qi in conquering all directions.

Upon hearing this, Ba Qi simply shook his head slightly.

"These things mean nothing to me." His voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority. "My only goal now is to attain immortality and become a god as soon as possible."

These were his heartfelt words.

Once he breaks through to immortality, he will be able to unlock the second secret among the nine secrets, which is his most crucial reliance on his cultivation path.

Most ordinary Realm Lord level experts are willing to stay in the Realm Lord realm for a long time, simply because this realm has the highest degree of compatibility with the fundamental laws of the universe, and is most conducive to honing their foundation and comprehending the laws.

But Ba Qi was different; he knew better than anyone what he relied on.

On one hand, there's the heaven-defying affinity with the laws brought by the Golden Beast God's avatar, making it much easier to comprehend the laws of the Golden Void Fusion.

On the other hand, his combat strength was always based on the Nine Secrets.

For him, the fastest way to become stronger was never to slowly hone his understanding of the laws at the realm lord level, but to break through major realms as soon as possible and unlock more of the Nine Secrets.

"With your unparalleled talent, reaching immortality and becoming a god is just a natural progression!" Ah Yi and Ah Er immediately responded. These words were not flattery, but their truest thoughts.

If even the greatest genius in the Blood Continent for billions of years cannot become an immortal god, that would be a huge joke.

"Alright, no need for further words." Ba Qi raised his hand to interrupt the two, his tone suddenly becoming solemn. "I have a task for you to complete."

Ah Yi and Ah Er instantly suppressed their joy, straightened their backs, and listened attentively to the command.

"You two, take all the Blood God Guards and, from this day forward, gather energy crystals for me with all your might." Ba Qi's gaze swept over the two of them, his voice deepening. "Remember, I need a massive amount of energy crystals, the more the better, and the faster the better."

Energy Crystal is the local name for Cosmic Crystal in the Blood Luo World.

Collecting energy crystals?

Ah Yi and Ah Er exchanged a glance, both slightly taken aback, secretly wondering if the master was going to specially create a world master's world.

The creation of a stable world by a powerful realm lord requires a massive amount of cosmic crystals as its energy foundation.

Just like in the original story, the Thunder World created by Thunder Lord Kabu on Canglan Star, as well as the world within a world, was built on the foundation of countless cosmic crystals.

"My lord, do you really intend to mobilize all the Blood God Guards?" A-Yi frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "You cannot be without guards by your side."

"That's right, sir. At least half of your men should be left to protect you." Ah Er immediately echoed.

"No need." Ba Qi waved his hand dismissively, his tone leaving no room for argument. "You all take all the Blood God Guards and act with full force. I don't need any guards here. I only care about the results—the number of energy crystals, the more the better, and the speed at which they are collected, the faster the better."

"Your subordinates obey!" Seeing Ba Qi's resolute attitude, the two dared not have any further objections. After bowing again, they vanished from the main hall without a sound.

On the throne, Ba Qi raised his hand again, activating the communication device on his wrist and contacting the Qi Niu, a wild beast from the Immortal Temple.
