Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Family Revitalization

The brown-robed sixth-level domain expert from the City Lord's Mansion held the upper hand even when fighting two opponents. Moreover, he was a martial artist, while one of the heads of the two opposing families was a mentalist who controlled a mental weapon from the Blood Luo Continent to attack. Although the weapon was not of a high level, it was very flexible under his control, which was why he was able to barely contend with the expert from the City Lord's Mansion.

By the time they noticed the fall of the city lord and their men, they were already dead.

Shen Ping had already rushed over.

The two were not far apart to begin with, and were still within the domain's coverage area, so it was normal for him to rush over here in just a few breaths, given his instantaneous burst speed.

"Who are you!!"

The man in the brown robe spoke in a low voice, his face grim. The city lord was dead. Even if he, an outsider, had defeated the two great families, it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold here. After all, a territory's main city not only needed strong strength but also a wide network of connections.

Therefore, the moment he sensed it, he had the urge to retreat.

The attack power naturally decreases.

Seeing this, the two families completely ignored Shen Ping. In their view, Shen Ping was heading for the other party. Although they had also lost a Domain-level expert, compared to killing the City Lord's mansion's outside help, losing a Lord-level expert was not unacceptable.

"If we kill him, the entire Blackwater Territory will be ours!"

The powerful members of the two families seized the opportunity to attack.

Telekinetic weapons move at extremely high speeds when combined with the area of ​​effect.

Although they have secretly controlled and occupied a lot of resources in Blackwater Territory over the years, they still have to hand over a portion of them every year. Moreover, the most important resources are occupied by the City Lord's Mansion. Therefore, it is not only the City Lord's Mansion that wants to deal with them, but they also want to eliminate the City Lord's Mansion and divide it up.

"Damn it!"

The brown-robed sixth-level Domain Realm expert had no desire to continue fighting and could only fight and retreat while keeping an eye on Shen Ping who was rushing over. Of course, even though he was on guard, most of his energy was focused on dealing with the heads of the two major families. As for Shen Ping, a peak Cloud Realm expert, even though he had killed the city lord and two other Domain Realm experts, he didn't take him too seriously.

The city lord and that person were only below the third level of the domain.

How can they compare to someone at the sixth level of the domain?

laugh.

However, at that moment...

An incredibly dazzling blade of light appeared, like a rainbow, directly and forcefully cleaving open the brown-robed man's domain. The moment the city lord's reinforcements saw the blade of light, their eyes seemed to reflect an endless yellow desert, where the scorching sun was burning and scorching the space, even melting the sand.

"wake up!!!"

"Wake up!!"

The man in the brown robe was horrified, and he roared incessantly from the depths of his mind.

Although the artistic conception accompanying the sword light is not an illusion, its true influence is even more terrifying than that of an illusion. It is an artistic conception formed by the condensation of pure cosmic laws, a fusion of laws interpreted by the sword light.

If one's consciousness is not strong and one's understanding of the laws of the universe is not deep, one will be directly immersed in this state of mind and unable to break free.

However, the man in the brown robe was already very strong. If this hadn't been Shen Ping's second strike, which was far more powerful than "Bright Moon Rising Over the Sea," this outsider from the city lord's mansion would not have been affected at all.

And just as he broke free.

The blade was flashing almost within reach!

clang!!

The man in the brown robe hurriedly swung his spear to block the flashing blade.

His face lit up with joy.

Unfortunately, before the joy could fade, horror appeared in his eyes.

In an instant, tens of thousands of figures appeared around him, densely packed and overwhelming. Each figure unleashed a blade of light, and the artistic conception presented by each blade of light was completely different, which shocked his understanding.

Clang clang clang!!

He hurriedly brandished his spear, ignoring the attacks from the two major families. The spear, like a giant disc, blocked a large number of sword flashes.

But there were just too many flashes of swords.

It also contains different artistic conceptions and is extremely powerful.

In just half a breath, a blade grazed the spear in his hand and struck him at an incredible angle.

laugh!

The fusion law power accompanying the blade light immediately destroyed the body of the man in the brown robe, and under Shen Ping's guidance, directly destroyed the life core of this outsider from the city lord's mansion.

After the kill.

Shen Ping turned sideways, deflecting the incoming telekinetic weapon, and grinned, "It's your turn now!"

"escape!!"

The heads of the two families turned and fled.

But it was too late.

They were fast, but they still wasted time. If they had chosen to run away the moment they saw Shen Ping, they could have escaped. But now, their burst speed was no match for Shen Ping's, and they were quickly caught up.

The second one took quite a while, but they still managed to catch up with and kill him outside Blackwater City.

This is the end.

Shen Ping killed all four domain-level experts of Blackwater Territory, as well as the city lord's reinforcements.

After looting the corpse's storage space, they found it.

Shen Ping found five Blood Crystals, two of which were from outside aid workers from the City Lord's Mansion.

"Not bad!"

A smile appeared on his lips, and then he soared into the sky, flying rapidly towards the clouds. During his time in the Blackwater Territory, he had learned a bit about the Ancient God Ruins and had a certain degree of confidence in his heart.

The Ruins of the Ancient Gods are very famous in the Blood Luo Continent. Geniuses from the Immortal Temple are all arranged to hone their skills in the Ruins of the Ancient Gods. They cannot return to the Immortal Temple without fusing three Blood Luo Crystals.

He could have gone to the Ancient God Ruins the moment he arrived on the Blood Continent.

But that would be too high-profile.

After all, no prince who undertakes the Blood Luo World quest would go directly to the Ancient God Ruins; that wouldn't be confidence, but rather suicide.

Therefore.

Shen Ping stayed in Blackwater Territory for a while.

Breaking through the clouds.

He went directly into the Machine Race's immortal spaceship and instructed the auxiliary AI to fly towards the Ancient God Ruins according to the map.

……

Two months later.

Virtual universe.

During a public class in the primitive area of ​​Yuxiang Mountain.

The Lord of the Universe is recounting the method of tempering will and consciousness through the practice of Guanyun.

"Although willpower is ethereal and elusive, it is influenced by consciousness. The stronger one's mental consciousness, the stronger one's willpower will be. However, given the same level of consciousness, a stronger willpower will give one a greater advantage. How can one improve their willpower? I have summarized the following five points..."

Shen Ping listened attentively.

During this period, he frequently attended classes taught by this ruler of the universe, who had unique insights into willpower, including how to skillfully use one's consciousness to influence willpower and how to better understand what methods to use to enhance one's willpower.

Some people can endure pain and use it to temper their will, while others cannot bear hardship and must resist various temptations to strengthen their mental will.

The number of geniuses who attend lectures is very small.

But everyone listened attentively, just like Shen Ping.

In fact, most geniuses don't pay much attention to the training and improvement of their willpower and consciousness. Even someone like Luo Feng rarely attends courses in this area. This is mainly because willpower and consciousness don't have much of a role to play; their only advantage is that they can provide a defensive effect against illusionists.

Soon.

The ruler of this cosmic kingdom said calmly, "Alright, that concludes today's lesson."

He disappeared after saying that.

Shen Ping listened with great interest, still wanting more.

There had never been a reward related to willpower among the family's rewards before, so he cherished this course even more. Others might not know the benefits of a strong willpower, but he knew very well that Luo Feng was able to subdue the World Beast Morosa mainly because of the willpower secret technique in the "Lieyuan Technique".

This secret art of willpower will also play a significant role in our future journey into the Origin Continent.

Simply put...

You may not have a strong will, but you absolutely cannot be weak.

Otherwise, when facing powerful figures like Luo Feng who excel at willpower attacks, this will become a weakness, and they won't even have the chance to fight.

Leave the classroom.

His thoughts drifted. "The malevolent energy in the ruins of the ancient gods is incredibly dense. It can affect people's minds and arouse their killing intent. My will is weak, but after listening to the lectures for so long, I have some protective abilities. I should be fine."

That's the opinion.

However, Shen Ping dared not be careless in the slightest, because the Ancient God Ruins was a very special place. The geniuses trained by the five giants, namely the Virtual Universe Company, the Giant Axe Arena, the Cosmic Galaxy Bank, the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, and the Cosmic First Bank, would almost always stay in the Ancient God Ruins for a period of time after coming to the Blood Luo World. There was a strong baleful aura and a bloodthirsty killing intent here. It was an excellent place to hone one's will and consciousness or to let the baleful aura transform one's body. However, if one's will was not strong enough and one was invaded and controlled by the killing intent, one would become a baleful aura puppet.

There have been geniuses like that before.

Therefore, the information he collected before coming here also included this point.

"First, explore and hone your skills at the very edge."

Consciousness exits the virtual universe.

The mechanical race's spaceship has arrived above the ruins of the ancient gods.

Clad in battle armor, Shen Ping charged directly downwards. At the fifteenth cloud layer, a large amount of blood-red mist obscured his vision.

This place was once the site where many powerful figures from the Virtual Universe Company, as well as other powerful individuals, fought against the innate Beast God. Many powerful figures perished here, and a large number of living beings died here. Over time, the fog above the clouds was also affected.

Passing through layers of blood-red mist.

His line of sight encompassed the ruins of the ancient gods. The entire ruins were vast, spanning hundreds of billions of kilometers in diameter, and contained numerous giant craters. From the sky, these craters resembled footprints.

"Beast God!"

It is thought that a natural beast god, comparable to the ruler of the universe, once perished in this place.

Shen Pingxin couldn't help but feel shocked.

The rulers of the universe are extremely difficult to perish, especially in the primordial universe, where they are restricted and bound by the fundamental laws of the universe, making it difficult for even the strongest beings in the universe to unleash their full power. Therefore, unless a ruler of the universe is an ordinary one, they are unlikely to perish.

Unfortunately, the Beast God was born with treasures all over his body.

They would naturally be hunted down by the super-strong individuals of various races.

now.

Far away, above the clouds.

Palace of Ecliptic Eclipse.

There are dedicated personnel monitoring the clouds over the Blood Continent. Whenever any natives fly out, they are required to kill them.

"It's Prince Shen Ping's spaceship! He actually went to the Ancient God Ruins so early; isn't that too dangerous!"

"It is indeed very dangerous. From what we understand, many geniuses who come to the Blood Continent take an average of two years or more to go."

"After all, we've conquered the primordial Tongtian Mountain, a cosmic-level feat, so it shouldn't be a problem."

"Yes, he has already crossed the thirteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge. His consciousness is influenced by the origin of the laws, so it is very strong. With a strong consciousness, his will is naturally strong as well. As long as he doesn't go to the few giant vortexes at the very core, he will be fine."

These realm lords chatted among themselves.

As personnel monitoring the Blood Continent, they had seen countless geniuses come to the Blood Continent, so they were very familiar with the situation there.

"That Prince Luo Feng from the Primordial Region is currently on the Blood Luo Continent. Tsk tsk, do you think he'll come to the Ancient God Ruins? Does he dare to come?"

"Luo Feng has already cleared the sixth level in Chaos City, second only to Shen Ping and Bo Lan. He'll definitely come to the Ancient God Ruins!"

"I think so too, but it will take a while."

Watching the surveillance footage.

These realm lords, having nothing to do, chatted idly. For them, this was a way to pass the time. In any case, in the virtual universe, they only needed to spare a portion of their consciousness to comprehend some secret techniques.

On the edge of the ancient god's ruins.

The malevolent energy wasn't as concentrated as in the inner domain, but the invisible power it generated still kept tempting Shen Ping, wanting him to kill recklessly. In addition, there was a strange power passing through his body, like air; this was the malevolent energy transforming his body.

To continue fusing Blood Crystals, you must come to the Ruins of the Ancient Gods.

Of course, Shen Ping doesn't need to modify his body. He has the blood of the Beast God, and as long as his will meets the requirements, he can continue to fuse with it and make his life genes reach a higher level.

Blood Warriors, Black Warriors... all represent the enhancement and transformation of the life gene level. For the true universe lords who stand at the pinnacle of the Virtual Universe Company, the life gene level is what they truly value. A lower life gene level means less total divine power to absorb when breaking through to immortality, and a smaller size.

Divine power is extremely important for immortals, kings, and even venerable beings.

In some ways, it's far more important than understanding the principles.

After all, most human races have a very low level of life genes, and the only way to improve is through Blood Crystals.

"Get out!"

Shen Ping frowned, his mind constantly resisting the temptation. This resistance was also a way to improve his will and temper his mind. Moreover, with the guidance of that cosmic ruler, he was able to achieve twice the result with half the effort when using this invisible power to resist.

"Stay on the edge for now, and while you're there, try to fuse with the blood of the Beast God. This will also help you hone your will and mind..."

This was something he had planned long ago.

In the entire universe-wide mission world, only a few exist that can hone one's will.

suddenly.

He sensed movement not far away and quickly hid behind a huge rock. Before long, he saw three or four powerful experts at the domain level discussing the ruins of the ancient god.

Wait until they leave completely.

Shen Ping finally stepped out. It wasn't that he was afraid of these domain-level experts, but rather that they were currently at a crucial stage for him, requiring him to concentrate fully on honing his skills.

Time slips away quietly like this.

A year has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period.

At a fixed time each month, he would go to the public area with Uka, Berlan, and Luo Feng to discuss and exchange ideas. These exchanges were primarily for promotion; the effect diminished with frequency, but over time, the accumulation of these exchanges would lead to a qualitative change. (End of Chapter)
