The Nine Secrets of Swallowing the Stars Combined

"What?!"

The Frost Diamond King, who had been exuding a murderous aura, suddenly changed his expression when faced with the Star-Splitting Spear that pierced right in front of him in the blink of an eye. His two eyes, as fiery as stars, almost popped out of their sockets!

It was simply because, in his perception, the power contained in that golden spear was far too terrifying, something he was completely unable to withstand!

In the blink of an eye, the indestructible Star Spear, empowered by Ba Qi's powerful divine strength, pierced through the void and arrived before Frost Diamond King in an instant!

"Pfft!!"

Like a blade slicing through tofu, the golden spear pierced through the Frost Diamond King's body in an instant, creating a large hole in the top of his head, and then emerging from his back!

"No!!!"

Immediately afterward, with a pitiful roar, Frost Diamond King's body was swept away by the divine power carried by the spear that pierced through it, and then exploded and shattered in an instant!

In the void not far away, Ba Qi gently raised his hand and caught the Star-Splitting Spear that flew back on its own. His expression was extremely calm, as if shattering the Frost Diamond King with a single blow was just a trivial matter.

Of course, he also knew that this casual strike would not easily end the life of a peak-level King-level expert.

Under Ba Qi's gaze, the Frost Diamond King, whose divine body had just been shattered, was now rapidly reconstructing itself and was completely restored in a short time.

However, at this moment, the Frost Diamond King's face no longer showed the arrogance and conceit he had just displayed; instead, it revealed an expression of utter terror and shock.

"My divine body has lost eighteen percent in an instant!!"

Frost Diamond King's body trembled slightly, his eyes filled with disbelief as he stared in horror at Ba Qi's figure.

Meanwhile, the surrounding sea and the other islands were also plunged into a deathly silence.

Frost Diamond King lost nearly 20% of his divine body, and his aura dropped significantly. This was naturally noticed by the other powerful figures, who were all extremely shocked.

To severely injure a peak-level King with a single blow—what kind of powerhouse is this?!

"Frost Diamond King, what's wrong? Are you scared out of your wits?"

In the void, Ba Qi held the Star-Splitting Spear in one hand and lightly rubbed it with the other, looking at his opponent from afar and smiling as he spoke, "Weren't you very arrogant just now?"

Upon hearing this, Frost Diamond King dared not utter a word of rebuttal. His face filled with panic, he turned into a streak of light and slunk away.

Seeing this, Ba Qi did not give chase.

In a head-on battle, killing the opponent is easy, but if the Frost Diamond King is determined to escape, it will still take him some effort.

After all, those at the peak of the Kinghood have already mastered teleportation.

Ba Qi has not yet mastered the sealing technique, one of the three great mysteries of space. The only thing he has that can restrain teleportation is a space-locking net.

He felt it wasn't worth using up the only treasure that could seal the space just to kill a peak-level King.

He casually put away the divine spear in his hand, glanced at the surrounding sea, and then headed directly towards the huge island below.

Immediately, streams of light shot up from many islands around, belonging to powerful alien races who, like the Frost Diamond King, chose to leave this sea area directly.

The reason was simple: Ba Qi's behavior had truly frightened them and made them uneasy, so they wisely chose to stay away from here.

Previously, they were able to coexist peacefully mainly because their strengths were not far apart, and neither of them was certain of victory in a fight.

But things are different now. Ba Qi annihilated 20% of the divine body of a peak King-level expert with a single move. Such combat power has already shown an overwhelming advantage over other experts, so naturally no one dares to stay here with peace of mind.

. . . . . . . .

At the center of the island, atop a snow-capped mountain tens of kilometers high.

Ba Qi sat cross-legged in the void, his consciousness entering a virtual universe.

Yuxiang Mountain, at the foot of Leiting Island.

Inside a luxurious palace.

This is Ba Qi's own palace. After he became immortal, he immediately obtained the right to build an immortal palace at the foot of Thunder Island.

"Seventh Brother, why are you looking for me in such a hurry? What's wrong?"

Inside the magnificent palace, Ba Qi looked at the Devouring Realm King in front of him, smiled and spoke, while handing him a cup of fine wine.

"Why are you here?" Devouring King took the wine glass, looked at Ba Qi with a helpless expression, and said, "Hey, Eighth Brother, are you really stupid or just pretending?"

Hearing this, Ba Qi laughed heartily, then his gaze shifted, "Just kidding. I know what you're trying to say, it's about the extraterritorial battlefield, isn't it?"

"You actually know that?" The Devouring Realm King couldn't help but roll his eyes. "I thought I was arrogant and ruthless enough, but I didn't expect you, Eighth Brother, to be even more ruthless than me!"

"By blatantly violating the rules of extraterritorial warfare, do you realize the enormity of the consequences you've incurred?"

Hearing this, Ba Qi didn't take it seriously. He took a sip of his wine and said, "Seventh Brother, don't scare me. I only suppressed two scoundrels who dared to plot against me. I didn't even kill them. It's not that serious."

"You still don't believe me?" Devouring Realm King shook his head and said in a deep voice, "My elder brother and the others have already received the news that those guys from the Fiery Blaze gang are using your violation of battlefield rules as an excuse to launch an attack. They've already sent powerful members of the Hong Alliance to arrest you and take you back for interrogation!"

"Is that so? That's interesting." Upon hearing this, Ba Qi's lips curled up, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"But why is that guy, Fiery Fire, everywhere I look?"

"The five major powers jointly manage the extraterritorial battlefield, and Corrosive Fire is one of the people in charge of the Giant Axe Arena," Devouring Realm King said, shaking his head. "Otherwise, why would I have suspected that guy was the one who plotted against me in the extraterritorial battlefield!"

"I understand," Ba Qi nodded.

He also knew that Venerable Fire Eclipse was always keen on forming cliques. Although he was only a high-level cosmic venerable, his power in the Giant Axe Arena was greater than that of some cosmic overlords.

In places like the battlefields outside the territory, where there is significant authority, the other side will definitely want to get involved.

"Still quite calm." Devouring Realm King looked at Ba Qi. "It's only because of you. If it were an ordinary immortal god, violating the rules of the battlefield would have resulted in death by now."

"Do they want to kill me?" Ba Qi sneered upon hearing this.

"Of course, it's impossible to kill you. However, I estimate that Shi Huo and the others will definitely stir up trouble. At that time, the lords of the universes will likely imprison you in the Star Domain Cage," Devouring Realm King said, shaking his head.

"Imprison me?" Ba Qi raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Dream on!"

"If it weren't for the loopholes in the rules of the extraterritorial battlefield, would I have been betrayed by my own kind?"

"I haven't settled accounts with them yet!"

"Instead of reflecting on your actions and finding ways to fix the loopholes in the rules of the battlefield, you dare to blame me?"

"Do you really think I, Qi, am easy to bully?"

Hearing this, the Devouring Realm King was speechless. "Brother, that's true, but..."

Ba Qi waved his hand, interrupting the Devouring Realm King, and snorted coldly, "Seventh Brother, you don't need to say anything. I want to see what they can do to me!"

"Send people from the Hongmeng Alliance to arrest me?"

"Even if that Fiery Blaze guy comes in person, I don't care!"

Upon hearing Ba Qi's words, the Devouring Realm King seemed to be provoked, and a fierce look appeared in his eyes.

"Well said, brother!"

"At worst, we'll cause a huge uproar!"

"We, the Black Warriors, have never been afraid of anyone!"
