The Nine Secrets of Swallowing the Stars Combined

"Father, do you need me to accompany you to that extraterrestrial battlefield?" At this moment, another young man spoke up. He looked somewhat similar to Ba Qi, but his face had fine, strange blood-red lines, and his body exuded an aura of immortality.

He is Ba Qi's second son and currently the only son to have entered the Immortal Realm. His name is Ba Chi, and he comes from the Blood Domain Lord lineage. His mother is also a cultivation genius at the Realm Lord level.

Because of his extraordinary talent from a young age, he was deeply loved by Ba Qi and the Blood Domain Lord, and was often given special instruction and guidance in cultivation by the two of them. Therefore, in less than two eras, he broke through all the way and finally directly entered the immortal level.

For this reason, the Blood Domain Lord once blamed Ba Qi, asking him why he didn't suppress his son's realm and allow him to comprehend the laws more at the Realm Lord level.

However, Ba Qi disagreed with this.

In his view, staying at the realm lord level for a longer period of time would not have as much of an impact on his subsequent cultivation as he had imagined.

At this moment, upon hearing his son's words, Ba Qi shook his head.

"No need. The battlefield outside the domain is extremely dangerous. Moreover, I am going to the core of the battlefield. Even a King-level Immortal can perish there if he is not careful. You are only at the level of an Immortal Military Lord. You will not be of any help to me if you go there."

"My father is very powerful, so I can't really help him much. Actually, I just want to go with him to see what it's like," Ba Chi said with a smile.

He is an Immortal Military Lord, and he can enter the outer battlefield, but he can only fight in the outermost area. He certainly wouldn't dare to go to the core areas where those Marquis Immortals or even King Immortals fight.

Now that his powerful father is about to enter the extraterritorial battlefield, Ba Chi wants to go with his father to those core battlefields and broaden his horizons.

Hearing his son's words, Ba Qi's lips curled up slightly, and he chuckled and scolded, "So that's what you were planning, kid."

"Hehe..." Ba Chi chuckled, a hopeful look on his face. "Father, please take me with you! I promise I won't cause you any trouble!"

Upon hearing this, Ba Qi smiled slightly, pondered for a moment, and then nodded.

"It's not impossible to bring you along, but you'll have to stay inside my world ring. I won't let you out, so you'll just have to stay put."

My son is quite talented, and now that he has reached the Immortal Military Lord realm, taking him to the outer battlefield to see the world might not be a bad thing.

With Ba Qi's current strength, there is almost no threat from the outer battlefield, so protecting his son is not a difficult task for him.

"Thank you, Father!" Ba Chi was overjoyed. He hadn't expected his father to agree so readily.

"Father, I want to go too!"

"Father, take me with you!"

In the main hall, the other children also showed longing expressions, and one by one they looked at Ba Qi and spoke.

Especially Ba Qi's only daughter, a Realm Lord, looked at her father with a pitiful expression.

Even Ba Yi, the eldest son in charge of family management, showed signs of interest at this moment.

"Hmph, you're not even immortals yet, what are you going to do on the extraterritorial battlefield?" Ba Qi glared directly, "At that time, a mere aftershock of the battle will reduce you to ashes, and I'll be too late to save you."

Upon hearing this and seeing their father's expression, the group immediately fell silent.

. . . . . . . .

Inside Chaos City.

Small building, rooftop.

Ba Qi sat cross-legged on the ground, his gaze fixed on the distant void.

"The battlefield beyond our borders..." he murmured to himself, a look of immense anticipation on his face.

"Eighth Brother!"

Just then, a familiar voice rang out, and Ba Qi immediately turned his head to look. He saw a black spaceship, hundreds of meters long and shaped like a long sword, had arrived above his rooftop.

Then, a figure emerged from the spaceship. It was none other than the Devouring Realm King in full battle armor. Beside him was the disciple of the Ancient Fiend Venerable, the Qi Chi Mo, who was shrouded in a black robe.

"Eighth brother, I've come to pick you up." Devouring King smiled and flew down to Ba Qi's side.

"Seventh Brother," Ba Qi said with a smile.

"Hahaha, my brothers have all rushed back and are waiting for you at the headquarters of my Blood Luo Alliance." Devouring King stepped forward with a smile, extremely enthusiastic, and put his arm around Ba Qi's shoulder, while Qi Chi Mo stood aside with a respectful expression.

Ba Qi shook his head with a wry smile, saying, "It's just a trip to the outer battlefield, nothing much, yet it made my brothers make a special trip back..."

"What are you talking about!" Devouring Realm King glared and said, "Didn't we agree that whenever you went to the extraterrestrial battlefield, we brothers would give you a send-off party!"

Upon hearing this, Ba Qi had no choice but to nod.

"Walk!"

The next moment, the three of them entered the black spaceship together.

. . . . . . . .

In the dark universe, a black, sword-shaped spaceship is traveling at faster-than-light speed.

"Hey, Eighth Brother, what level have you reached now? Why do I have this feeling that even I'm no match for you anymore?"

Inside the spaceship's main hall, Devouring Realm King stared at Ba Qi, circling around him, a hint of surprise on his face.

"Haha, how could that be? Seventh Brother, you are the renowned and invincible King. I have only been cultivating for a short time. How can I compare to you?" Ba Qi laughed heartily.

"Really?" The Devouring Realm King asked with some suspicion, "What level of the Bridge to Heaven have you reached in your understanding of the laws?"

"I think it's around the nineteenth level. Of the three great mysteries, I've finally mastered teleportation." Ba Qi smiled slightly.

In fact, he had already reached the Law Realm of the nineteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven more than 2000 years ago. However, in the last 2000 years, he had devoted all his energy to comprehending the secrets of the soul, so he had not made much progress in his understanding of the Laws.

"Damn it, it took me countless epochs to cultivate my understanding of the laws to the nineteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge. You, kid, have only been guided for one epoch!" Devouring World King looked utterly hopeless.

Upon hearing this, Ba Qi chuckled but remained silent.

There's no way around it. With the Secret of Character Formation in hand, the Secret Pattern School, and the added talent of the Beast God Avatar, whether it's comprehending the laws or cultivating secret techniques like the "Seven Kills of the Beast God," it's practically like having a cheat code. It's impossible for him not to be fast.

"You've grasped the laws of the nineteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven. So, you've already cultivated the Seven Kills of the Beast God to the third level?" Devouring King continued to ask.

The second level of "Seven Kills of the Beast God" is invincible below the level of King Immortal after mastering it. Since Ba Qi's understanding of the laws has reached the level of King Immortal, it is naturally impossible for him to still be stuck at the second level.

"Not bad." Ba Qi nodded.

The third level of "Seven Kills of the Beast God" is still a bit short of complete perfection, mainly because he has been fully committed to comprehending the secret techniques of the soul for the past 2000 years.

"By the way, what level have you reached in your 'Beast God Transformation'?" Devouring World King asked curiously.

"The fourth level." Ba Qi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of smugness.

As far as he knew, his seventh brother had only cultivated the "Beast God Transformation" to the fourth level.

Sure enough, upon hearing Ba Qi's words, the Devouring Realm King's eyes widened, and he stretched out one hand, pointing it firmly at Ba Qi, with a hint of grief and indignation on his face.

"Seventh Brother, your expression is way too exaggerated," Ba Qi couldn't help but complain.

"Damn it, you're just too outrageous! I can't listen to this anymore!" Devouring King roared, slamming his fist hard into Ba Qi's shoulder. The entire spaceship shook violently, startling the bewildered Qi Chi Mo in the command cabin at the front.
