Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Family Revitalization

"It's the Black Ring Lord!"

"I didn't expect even the Black Ring King of the demon race to come!"

"This Black Ring King is a top-tier powerhouse of the Thorn Hydralisk royal family; it seems he's here to avenge the Thorn King!"

Tens of millions of kilometers away from Shen Ping, more than a dozen alien kings from different factions gathered together. Although they were wary of each other, their focus was on the human world lord who was floating above the icy lake.

No one dared to make a move, not because they were afraid of the human realm lord, but because they were worried that if they made a move, the other kings would benefit.

After all, there are six or seven peak King-level experts among the Kings gathered here. In the Tree Crown Thunder Domain of this Ninth Battlefield, peak King-level experts are already at the top level. Although there is a limit to King-level experts, those experts usually go to the deepest part of the Thunder Domain to search for treasures or to make a fortune. They will not come to this outer area.

However, as one of the demon race's kings reached his limit, many other kings simply watched the spectacle.

None of the powerful beings who could roam the highest-level regions were fools. Although they suspected that the human realm lord might have treasures on him, none of them would impulsively rush forward without knowing his trump cards.

Moreover, the fall of the Thorn King serves as the best warning.

The Black Ring King looked around. It also had a snake body, but it had obviously cultivated some kind of divine body amplification secret technique. At this moment, its divine body was only about three meters tall. However, to reach the limit of becoming a King, the divine body amplification burst was at least three to five times higher.

In other words.

With a single strike, it can unleash 300,000 to 500,000 times the power of a World Lord. If it were to burn a little more Immortal Divine Power, its attack power could easily reach a million times the power of a World Lord. This is terrifying. For example, a combined attack from a million World Lord Zerg warrior legion could severely injure a peak-level Immortal King.

Therefore, the Black Ring King killed several peak-level alien kings, thus establishing his formidable reputation.

"What, you bunch of peak-level Kings are afraid of even a human Realm Lord?"

It sneered.

One of the Immortal Kings from the Mechanical Race faction said, "Black Ring King, the human realm lord killed a King from your Thorn Serpent race. Even if someone were to fight, it would be your Demon race faction. We're just here to watch the show."

"Yes, just to watch the excitement."

Other immortal kings echoed this sentiment.

Although the Black Ring King was powerful, they were not afraid. At worst, they could teleport away. After all, there were six or seven peak-level Kings present. Even if the Black Ring King unleashed its power, it could only chase one of them.

Wow.

At this moment, another immortal king from a foreign race arrived.

The Black Ring King's expression changed slightly.

"Hmph, don't think I don't know your plans. You're just a mere human realm lord. Even if you have treasures, you can't possibly harm me. You think you can pick up the pieces from behind? Dream on!"

Done.

He charged straight at Shen Ping.

Within a range of tens of millions of kilometers, even at the peak burst speed of a King-level cultivator, it would only take a dozen or so flashes. "Human Realm Lord, you killed a King-level cultivator of my Thorn Serpent Clan, you will pay the price. If you obediently hand over your treasures, perhaps I can spare your life!"

Shen Ping remained motionless. When he saw the Black Ring King charging towards him, he couldn't help but laugh and say, "Enough with the nonsense. I'm getting impatient."

As they were talking.

They faced off against the Black Ring King's terrifying giant axe and began to fight him.

They were all martial artists, and the only way to kill each other was through close combat. Before Shen Ping could even get close to the Black Ring King, the extremely strong pressure of the law domain and the sharp, immortal divine power generated by the swing of the giant axe had already reduced his speed.

boom.

The giant axe cleaved down fiercely, its head surrounded by a large amount of earthy yellow air currents, as if a towering peak was looming over Shen Ping's position, and the surrounding space seemed to shatter inch by inch.

Chi Chi.

Faced with this horrific attack.

Any realm lord, or even a human immortal king, would not choose to confront it head-on. But Shen Ping laughed and his silver moon blade flashed, colliding with the giant axe.

Rumble.

The incredibly solid blade light was even larger than the giant axe, but in terms of sheer power, it was no stronger than the axe. It was quickly shattered by the axe, but the giant axe in the Black Ring King's hand was also almost knocked out of his grasp by the terrifying power.

"Haha, Black Ring King, you, a dignified demon king at the pinnacle of immortality, have such meager strength? You should hurry back and cultivate for another ten thousand years!"

Shen Ping laughed loudly, his black boots gleaming, and his entire body transformed into black light, flashing around the Black Ring King. In three or four flashes, he rushed to the Black Ring King's side, and the solid and dazzling sword light appeared again, at the same time enveloping the surrounding void.

Or perhaps the sword light condensed into the void.

In this void, there was nothing but the glint of swords.

Before the Black Ring King could even be shocked, he hurriedly pulled back his giant axe and used his axe technique to block the blade light in the void.

Ding ding ding.

The blade light seemed endless as it clashed with the giant axe.

Although the Black Ring King's defensive axe technique was impenetrable, it was still no match for the Void Scripture, which was at a near-ultimate level. During the defense, he was penetrated and slashed by the blade light.

Bang.

The Black Ring King's immortal divine power suddenly exploded, shattering the surrounding area.

Shen Ping transformed into black light and quickly distanced himself from it.

"You, you..."

The Black Ring King was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He was injured. Although this injury was nothing to a divine body, and it didn't even damage the essence of an immortal divine body, it was still a King-level immortal. Moreover, the divine body was under the influence of an amplitude-type secret technique. Even a King-level expert of the same level could not injure it without burning divine power.

As a result, he was injured by a human realm lord.

"That swordsmanship is terrifying! A peak-level secret technique—no, ultimate! It has definitely reached the level of an ultimate secret technique!"

Shen Ping was also filled with emotion. He was able to kill a high-level immortal king, but a king at the limit was still a king at the limit. Not only was the level of the secret technique high, but the divine body was also powerful. Unless the Silver Moon Blade touched the opponent's divine body, it would be difficult to annihilate part of the opponent's immortal divine power by relying solely on the power of the secret technique.

In the original story, Luo Feng was able to annihilate the immortal divine body at the limit of the King-level by relying on Femo Venom. Otherwise, relying solely on the Sealing Star would not have been so powerful, since every single Sealing Star was coated with Femo Venom, which could even corrode the immortal divine body at the limit of the King-level.

Of course.

External things are also a part of strength.

Without the resources, it's impossible to buy Fermoo Venom.

"Again!"

Shen Ping transformed into a black light and rushed forward again. His speed was too fast, and his speed soared to almost the speed of light in an instant. The speed of light is 300,000 kilometers. He could cross a million kilometers in a few flashes. If he were to teleport, it would be a distance of one or two light-years.

Boom boom boom!

He completely regarded the Black Ring King in front of him as a stepping stone to hone his swordsmanship.

The flashes of blades continued unabated.

Faced with the Void Blade Technique, the Black Ring King had no way to dodge and could only grit his teeth and rely on his giant axe to defend. However, prolonged defense inevitably leads to defeat. After hundreds of exchanges, he was still cut by the Silver Moon Blade, and each cut caused him to lose more than 3% of his immortal divine body.

Don't underestimate the small number; the Black Ring King represents the pinnacle of the King-level realm, and it's no small feat to be able to injure its divine body.

boom!

In its shock, the Black Ring King unleashed its burning immortal divine body. It knew that if this continued, it would definitely lose more than 20% of its immortal divine body. Once that happened, the alien kings watching the spectacle would surely swarm it.

A terrifying aura surged forth.

With a sudden sweep of the giant axe, Shen Ping was knocked away.

Then the Black Ring King teleported away.

Yes, they escaped.

It realized that even burning its immortal divine body wouldn't be enough to harm this human realm lord, and that continuing to entangle it would only result in further injury, so it had no choice but to flee.

Shen Ping frowned. He was engrossed in the battle, and his understanding of swordsmanship was becoming increasingly profound. But his opponent had escaped. If he had known this would happen, he would have switched to a regular, high-quality battle sword.

Those who were being crowned immortals and watching from the sidelines were all dumbfounded.

They originally thought that the Black Ring King, a Limit Immortal King, would easily kill a human Realm Lord, but after fighting for so long, they ended up losing their Immortal Divine Body and even escaping!

"This...this human realm lord is terrifying!"

"His burst speed was incredibly fast, those black boots seemed to be a priceless treasure, and the silver battle blade in his hand—even when the Black Ring King used his secret technique earlier, he wasn't injured, but after cutting into the Black Ring King's body, the Black Ring King suffered damage. So it's definitely a priceless treasure!"

"My god, a human realm lord actually possesses two powerful treasures!"

"No, there are three. Didn't you notice? This human realm lord dared to fight the Black Ring King head-on, which means he's not weak in either strength or defense. How could a realm lord have such great power? It must be a treasure, and the armor itself might even be a treasure!"

"Four treasures! A realm lord possesses four treasures—is this what makes humanity's unparalleled genius look like?!"

After recovering from their shock, these immortal kings were filled with greed in their eyes. Even though Shen Ping was terrifying, the thought of so many treasures made them almost lose their minds.

It's a priceless treasure!

If a peak-level King has a powerful treasure, it is possible to kill a King at the limit, such as the Purple Bell King!

If one is granted the title of King, there will be great treasures.

Then you can definitely become an almost invincible powerhouse among the kings in no time.

The reason why True King was able to escape and save his life from the Venerable One was because he possessed a great treasure!

Shen Ping looked around and grinned, "What, aren't you going to run?"

Done.

He rushed over.

The alien kings and immortals were so frightened that they fled immediately, those who could teleport teleported away.

Seeing that no one was being granted the title of king.

He teleported away from there in an instant.

When it reappears.

They had arrived at the deepest part of the Tree Crown Thunder Domain, an area with a large number of thunderclouds. The power of those thunderclouds was terrifying; in some places, even a Universe Venerable could be killed.

"After the battle with the Black Ring King, I believe the news that I possess a great treasure should have spread throughout the Ninth Battlefield, and may even have reached other battlefields... This way, I can slowly monetize it. However, with my strength, it is still very difficult to kill a King Limit who possesses a great treasure, unless I have the combat power of a Venerable."

Shen Ping was deep in thought.

After fighting the Black Ring King, he realized his own weakness. Although he had reached the limit of the Immortal God Body of the King, which was 10 times the power of the World Lord, he could not burn the Immortal God Body, which meant that his explosive power was not enough.

Another issue is the inability to implement spatial sealing.

If the Black Ring King wanted to escape, he could simply run away; there was nothing the Black Ring King could do about it.

"If only I had servants skilled in sealing and soul attacks!"

Mixing up on battlefields outside the region.

It would be so embarrassing not to have servants.

Luo Feng has many servants, some at the limit of the King level, and others at the peak of the King level, who are skilled in soul manipulation. This is why he can dominate the battlefield outside the realm.

He is now comparable to Luo Feng when he left the extraterritorial battlefield in terms of his understanding of the laws, but he is far less skilled in terms of methods.

"I'll spend some time deep within the Thunder Domain and see if I can enslave some King-level Immortals... If I can enslave some, I can make these servants use powerful treasures!"

Shen Ping possessed an overwhelming number of treasures, receiving a huge amount from each reward, and even accumulating dozens of sets of treasures.

There are also many treasures.

So for him now, there's no need to hunt for any treasures; monetizing them is the most important thing. Even if it's a bit outrageous, it's better than letting those valuable treasures gather dust.

The spoils from killing the alien assassin, the King of the Sea, and the Thorn King amounted to only about 20 billion Chaos Units. That amount couldn't even buy a kilogram of Femo Venom, but it could be used to cultivate Flame Star to Immortality.

"First, buy a dozen grams of Femor Venom, save it for a crucial moment, then enslave a peak-level King-level expert skilled in soul manipulation. Once the cycle is established, things will be much better!"

Femor Venom is too effective, and he's not stupid. Combining it with the Silver Moon Blade, the effect is definitely much stronger than if he used the Silver Moon Blade alone.

Make a decision.

Shen Ping then began to carry out the plan.

……

"What? The Human Realm Lord possesses the limit of the King-level realm and has even suppressed the Black Ring King?"

"Damn it, can't you at least make this believable? I admit that the core realm masters of the five major human powers do have those comparable to kings, but to kill a high-level king and suppress a king at the limit of the Black Ring King, who the hell are you trying to fool?!"

"The news is absolutely true; many of those who were granted titles have seen it!"

"No way, a realm lord possesses four powerful treasures? The human race is far too biased towards its core geniuses!"

"Who exactly is this Lord of the Human Realm?"

"Back then, humanity had a genius named Kodi, who was so strong even during his World Lord era, yet he was ultimately killed by the Zerg. Haha, just watch, the Zerg and the Demon Race will definitely be the most anxious!"

As the news spread across the Ninth Front.

More and more immortal kings have arrived at the Tree Crown Thunder Domain, especially those from the demon race and the insect race. They have also issued extremely high bounties, offering great treasures in addition to military merits to anyone who can kill a human world-class genius!

This drove many factions, including their own clan's own Immortal Kings, into a frenzy.

Even the human alliance received the news and began speculating about the identity of the human world lord.

"Among the current Realm Lords of the five major powers, the most dazzling is Shen Ping. However, he only recently broke through to Realm Lord level. Even the personal disciple of the Ice Peak Lord wouldn't be this strong!"

"He must be a hidden genius."

"Definitely."

"I wonder who it is. Even the Seven Sword Kings of the Giant Axe Arena weren't this monstrous at the Realm Lord stage. I think it must be from the Virtual Universe Company!"

"Whoever it is, having four treasures is a bit much!"

"Yes, a Realm Lord who can kill a King-level expert certainly has great potential, but he's still just a Realm Lord. Becoming an Immortal is a huge hurdle!"

The Hong Alliance, including its five major factions, was abuzz with discussion. (End of Chapter)
