Swallowing the Stars: Starting from the Endless Dungeon

Chapter 68 The Genius Hector

Although the flow of time in the instance is different from that in the outside world, wouldn't it be better to use that time spent searching for and killing ferocious beasts to cultivate secret techniques?

As his secret techniques improved, so did his strength. There was no need to mess with these ferocious beasts; after all, he couldn't even bear to look at their loot—claws, hand bones, or fur, nothing of the sort.

In other words, the first breakthrough requires killing all the enemies. Otherwise, he could have completed the first breakthrough quickly instead of slowly moving inch by inch here. This is also thanks to his current mental power reaching the ninth level of the Hengxing level, and his talent in mental power is not bad. Otherwise, finding the ferocious beast hidden deep underground would really be a troublesome matter.

Three days later, Su Jing felt like he was about to vomit. In these three days, he had probably killed more ferocious beasts than he had ever killed in any dungeon in the past. After all, in previous dungeons, apart from the insectoid dungeon which had a large number of enemies, there weren't many enemies in other places. But this time in the secret realm, there were ferocious beasts, tens of thousands? No, he estimated that he had killed hundreds of millions of ferocious beasts so far. The killing intent accumulated in just three days was incredibly vast. Fortunately, he had cultivated the Thousand Wills Forging Heart before, which greatly improved his willpower. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to withstand such a huge impact from the killing intent. Although the quality of this killing intent was not high, the sheer quantity was overwhelming. He would have to find time to further improve his willpower through the Thousand Wills Forging Heart, and raise his willpower to the level where he could cultivate the Willpower Bell as soon as possible. With the protection of the Willpower Bell, any killing intent that tried to invade would have to bypass its protection, which would be very difficult.

However, he discovered one thing that was advantageous to him: the ferocious beasts here had no intelligence, not even cosmic-level beasts. They all acted on instinct, and all enemies in the instance were inherently hostile towards him. So, any beast that discovered him would attack him on instinct, which was a good thing, as he didn't have to worry about any beasts escaping.

Using these ferocious beasts, Su Jing was also honing his psychic combat skills. His strongest point was naturally close-combat attacks, while his psychic power was much weaker. Now that he had the psychic power of a ninth-level star, coupled with his considerable talent, he could hone his psychic power further. Of course, he couldn't compare to those geniuses who specialized in the path of mental psychic masters, but there was no need to compare with them. What Su Jing needed to do was to make up for his weaknesses and ensure that he had no obvious weaknesses in any aspect. That would be enough.

Boom!

A loud battle roared ahead, and Su Jing flew forward. Along the way, he used his mental power in conjunction with the Sky-Breaking Disc he had obtained in the dungeon to kill the ferocious beasts without causing much of a commotion. So, he was quite interested in hearing the commotion ahead.

On the other side, Hector was wreaking havoc. He had obtained a Bloodline Fruit in the secret realm, but for some unknown reason, the news leaked out. As a result, several Universe-level beings surrounded him, trying to kill him together. However, he was no ordinary Universe-level being. After some persuasion, they remained unmoved, so he could only send them on their way. When Su Jing arrived, this was the scene he saw: a group of Universe-level beings besieging a ninth-tier Universe-level genius, only to be killed in the process. This guy is interesting. Su Jing looked at Hector, who was standing there collecting his spoils. He could sense a threat from this guy. If he could feel a threat, this person's strength was definitely not weak.

"That friend has been standing there for so long, are you also planning to kill and steal the treasure?"

Although Hector was sorting through his spoils, his vigilance remained high. Naturally, he spotted Su Jing in the air. Although he didn't know why he felt hostility upon seeing Su Jing, he didn't act rashly. He sensed danger emanating from Su Jing, which was quite unbelievable to him. He could tell that Su Jing was at the ninth level of the Eternal Star Realm. If the ninth level of the Eternal Star Realm could pose a threat to him, he knew he had encountered a true prodigy.

"Kill and rob? I have no intention of doing that, but I do want to fight you!"

Su Jing said with a faint smile. He didn't care about the treasures in the dungeon, since he couldn't take them out. All he could get were the items dropped in the dungeon. So he just wanted to have a big fight with the guy in front of him. After all, he felt threatened and he was definitely an evenly matched opponent. This was exactly the kind of opponent he needed right now!

"Ha, in the end, it all boils down to killing and robbing, all in a high-sounding way!"

Hearing Su Jing's words, Hector naturally assumed he was after the Bloodline Fruit in his possession. He picked up his battle sword and attacked Su Jing. Sensing the aura released by the other party upon entering battle, a flame domain at around the ninth level, Su Jing raised an eyebrow. This guy was probably the strongest in the secret realm. He hadn't expected his judgment to be so good, directly encountering the strongest. However, there was no fear in his eyes, only endless fighting spirit. After all, since he comprehended the laws and improved his secret techniques, he hadn't encountered an opponent he could fight with all his might. They were either instantly killed by him or he was instantly killed. But this guy in front of him, at the ninth level of the universe level, plus a nine-level fire domain, was definitely a formidable opponent. He himself couldn't even defeat him, since his realm was only at the ninth level of the eternal star level. When the domain levels were similar, his only advantage was in the laws.

Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from behind, Su Jing's gaze turned cold. He spun around, leaving behind a blood-red phantom. Blood-red lightning appeared, and with a series of quick movements, five phantoms surrounded Hector. The next moment, all five phantoms launched an attack simultaneously! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

A deafening explosion rang out, and the violent force blasted Su Jing and Hector a distance of thousands of meters. The originally flat land of the secret realm was transformed into a giant crater thousands of meters wide. Su Jing and Hector stood on opposite sides of the crater. Interesting!

Looking at the tiger's mouth that had been shaken by the force, he realized that of the five illusory bodies he had unleashed with all his might, only the last attack had hit the opponent. The rest of the attacks had been blocked. Hector also had a movement technique manual, and the opponent's technique was definitely not much lower than his, except that the opponent had only cultivated to the level of four illusory bodies.

Furthermore, his opponent's domain was also at the ninth level, so he had no advantage in attack. He was only slightly ahead in movement and law. This was definitely not enough to support him in killing his opponent. However, even after thinking about all this, Su Jing did not hesitate and disappeared from the spot. This was the kind of battle he had been looking forward to!

Only in such battles can he unleash his potential, rapidly improve his combat power, and gain an advantage in movement. He won't die immediately, and during this time he can fight to his heart's content! So exhilarating!
