Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Family Revitalization

Chapter 179 The Chaos City Lord's Surprise

There are over a hundred Immortal Kings from various races surrounding the Flowing Crystal Cloud River, and their numbers are constantly increasing, especially after news spread that Shen Ping had mentioned possessing soul and domain-type treasures, attracting even more Immortal Kings to the scene.

Special-class treasures are comparable in value to supreme treasures!

Even the supreme beings of the universe were tempted, let alone those who had been granted the title of King and Immortal.

As long as we can kill Shen Ping.

Therefore, any one of them, after obtaining a great treasure and becoming a King-level Immortal, could become a nearly invincible powerhouse in a short period of time.

Therefore, everyone went crazy.

Even though everyone knew that Shen Ping was very strong and could suppress a King like Black Ring King, no one cared. So what if he was suppressed? No matter how monstrous the opponent was, he was just a Realm Lord. He didn't even have the means to burn his divine body. Black Ring King hadn't even burned his immortal divine body.

"Hahaha, great! This human realm lord is closest to me!"

Seeing Shen Ping's flashing trajectory, the Bewitching King was extremely excited. "I am a Soul Master. As long as he gets close, I will directly burn my immortal divine body. Hmph, even a human realm lord with a soul treasure guarding him can only hold out. His speed will definitely decrease, and then he will be at my mercy!"

The explosion of a Soul Master at the peak of the King-level realm by burning their immortal divine body is extremely terrifying, and it's impossible for someone at the peak of the King-level realm to only have the means of soul attack and erosion.

One breath.

Two breaths.

It was getting closer and closer.

Not only was the Bewitching King excited and nervous, but Shen Ping himself was also nervous, fearing that the Bewitching King might escape or self-destruct!

"Fire Silkworm King, it's all up to you!"

"Don't worry, Master. As long as you keep him occupied and give me time to unleash my powerful treasure, I can definitely put this Bewitching King into a deep sleep."

The Fire Silkworm King was extremely confident. Although it had only recently received the treasure bestowed upon it by Shen Ping, it was still at the peak of the King level. After refining and studying it, it could activate the first layer of the treasure.

boom!

When the distance is within the attack range.

Shen Ping secretly manipulated the Flowing Crystal Cloud River to increase its density around the Bewitching Heart King, forming a defense similar to a river wall.

The Bewitching King didn't care at all and immediately burned 3% of his immortal divine body to attack. Instantly, the ethereal immortal divine power spread to Shen Ping's body at an extremely fast speed, eroding his soul and sea of ​​consciousness.

Almost instantly.

Shen Ping used his soul treasure to suppress this erosion, but he pretended to be absent-minded and stayed in place.

This delighted King Bewitching Heart. "Hmph, so what if you have a soul treasure? If your own will and soul are weak, you'll still be affected by my soul attack!"

It quickly darted towards Shen Ping.

The obstacles in the Flowing Crystal Cloud River were much smaller, but when the Bewitching Heart King got closer...

Shen Ping then pretended to break free, and in his anger, he used the Void Scripture to slash at the King of Bewitching Hearts. Immediately, a large area of ​​Void light condensed from the blade enveloped the King of Bewitching Hearts.

"The power of this swordsmanship is truly terrifying. Even with my shield, my divine body almost couldn't withstand it!"

The Bewitching King barely managed to maintain his divine body and engaged in close combat with Shen Ping.

Just then.

Fire Silkworm King and Bloodless King broke out of the World Ring.

King Bewitching Heart was shocked. "Oh no, it's a trap!!"

It wanted to break free from Shen Ping's entanglement as quickly as possible, but it found that the waves of sword light were sweeping over it. Most importantly, the power of the river formed by the crystals around it suddenly increased, constantly crashing into its divine body, causing it to continuously deteriorate.

However, although the Bewitching King was alarmed, it did not panic, because in such a short time, the renowned King-level experts around it were almost catching up. As long as it held on, Shen Ping would definitely escape on his own.

"As expected of a domain-level treasure, its power alone caused my divine body to lose 1% after just a few attacks. If it were in my hands, annihilating other peak-level Kings would be no problem at all!"

laugh.

While the King of Bewitching Mind was pondering.

Shen Ping's speed suddenly exploded, and the blade light slashed through the Bewitching King's divine body with lightning speed. The Silver Moon Blade treasure, combined with Femo's venom, directly reduced the Bewitching King's divine body to 72%, which frightened the Bewitching King into burning his immortal divine body again. He frantically tried to distance himself from Shen Ping while calling for help.

"Blood Spear King, this...this human realm lord possesses a soul treasure! Quick, quick!"

Even Blood Gun King couldn't do anything about it.

It's too far away to provide long-range support. "Bewitching King, you keep that human realm lord occupied. If you can hold him off for another ten breaths, I can attack and come to his aid. If we obtain any treasures, I'll definitely share one with you!"

Hear this.

Bewitching King had no choice but to grit its teeth and continue fighting Shen Ping, while keeping its distance from Fire Silkworm King and Silent Blood King. At present, it was unaware that Fire Silkworm King and Silent Blood King possessed great treasures, and it had never thought of such a thing.

Such a treasure is extremely rare.

How could there be two servants?

The Fire Silkworm King had already burned its immortal divine body, greatly increasing its power. Three huge fire orbs suddenly appeared in its hands. These fire orbs, infused with its immortal divine power, were blasted out at near the speed of light, instantly turning into three fireballs.

The Bewitching King had no time to defend himself; his divine body was pierced by three fireballs.

Terror was evident in its eyes!

"No, no!"

With a low growl, its divine body, which had dropped to 7%, fell into a deep sleep.

Shen Ping laughed and hurriedly put the Bewitching King into the World Ring, then had the Frost Whale King enslave it. The Bewitching King, in its slumbering state, was no match for it.

The other immortal kings were shocked to see this.

They knew about the Fire Silkworm King. Although he was a peak Immortal King, his own strength was just so-so. He was no match for the Bewitching Heart King. Even if the Bewitching Heart King's divine body was damaged before, it was impossible for him to fall into a deep sleep with one blow.

Clearly, those three fire orbs are priceless treasures!

"The Fire Silkworm King has never revealed that it possesses any powerful treasures before. Could it have been given to it by that human realm lord?"

"Just how many treasures does this human realm lord possess?!"

The immortal kings within the Flowing Crystal Cloud River area were once again consumed by envy. The Blood Spear King, the Heavenly Diligence King, and the Ice Bell King at the forefront even began to burn their immortal divine bodies.

Shen Ping watched all this and sneered, "You think you can catch up with me?"

The black boots activated.

His speed increased dramatically again, almost reaching the speed of light, and then he fled towards the area with the most lightning pillars in the distance.

He quickly left the other immortal kings behind, but none of them gave up.

"Chase!"

"We absolutely cannot let him escape!"

Fire Silkworm King and Bloodless King were not fast, but Shen Ping directly put them into the World Ring. Inside the World Ring, his other clone had already enslaved the sleeping and unconscious Bewitching Heart King in that short time.

He then used a primordial treasure to allow the Bewitching King to fully recover his divine body in a short period of time.

normal circumstances.

The recovery of one's divine body after falling into a coma at the peak of the King-level realm is a very long process, requiring hundreds of millions of years to slowly recover. Even with the use of some precious resources, it would still cost hundreds of billions of Chaos Units, which is equivalent to the wealth of a King-level peak cultivator.

However, the primordial treasures can quickly restore an immortal divine body; even if used by a cosmic ruler, they can be restored in a short time.

The Fire Silkworm King and the Silent Blood King were horrified.

"Greetings, Master."

The moment the fully recovered Bewitching King saw Shen Ping, he knew he had been enslaved. However, instead of being angry or sad, he felt joy and genuine respect.

This is what a servant is.

Shen Ping smiled and said, "Bewitching King, from now on you will cooperate with Fire Silkworm King and Silent Blood King to assist me and strive to enslave more peak-level Kings, or even peak-level Immortals!"

"Yes, Master!"

He possesses the skill to conquer the soul and is at the pinnacle of immortality.

The chances of him being enslaved in the future will greatly increase. He was then given a precious treasure by the King of Bewitching Hearts, who was instructed to refine and study it carefully.

Within the range of the Crystal Cloud River.

Shen Ping, in his Earthly human form, was in a very pleasant mood. "The Bewitching Heart King and the Fire Silkworm King possess powerful treasures, and their strength is comparable to that of a peak-level King. After burning their immortal divine bodies, they can both injure or even kill peak-level Kings... On the battlefield outside the realm, I will be even more fearless and can freely fight with other peak-level Kings to perfect my swordsmanship!"

Seeing Blood Spear King, Heavenly Diligence King, and others relentlessly pursuing them, he frowned. "Damn it, they're like flies! They can't catch up, yet they keep chasing!"

These three guys are all well-known and powerful figures in the Ninth Battlefield.

They all possess valuable treasures.

If you kill them, you will definitely get another reward in terms of assets. However, they are very difficult to kill. Even with Femo Venom, it is difficult unless you use those extremely powerful weapons, such as Soul Annihilation Aurora, Silent Wind Weapon, Black Hole Weapon, and Caso Dagger Weapon. These weapons are deadly to anyone below the level of a Cosmic Venerable, but they are extremely expensive.

They are generally in the trillions of mixed units.

It's almost equivalent to the value of a regular treasure. Of course, if you have a treasure, no one would exchange it for money.

Time passed slowly.

Shen Ping used the same trick again, employing the speed of the Black Light Boots and the Flowing Crystal Cloud River to kill two peak-level Immortal Kings. However, he couldn't enslave them; these guys had become too clever and wouldn't get close, after all, the example of the Bewitching Heart King was still fresh in his mind.

"None of these kings were fools!"

He was helpless.

The only way to find prey is by utilizing the special areas of the lightning pillars deep within the thundercloud zone, but after killing two, it becomes even more difficult.

In the end, after escaping the spatial lockdown, he could only teleport away from the area.

Even though the three powerful kings, Tianqin King, Blood Spear King, and Ice Bell King, were furious, there was nothing they could do. The Flowing Crystal Cloud River, a domain-type treasure, was simply too much of a hindrance and suppressor for them.

"His movement speed is incredibly fast, his attack power is immense, and he possesses domain and soul-type treasures—how can we possibly kill him!"

"They're impossible to kill!"

"No wonder this human realm lord is so arrogant and high-profile; no one could kill him!"

"If we have a powerful treasure that can seal and bind, we might have a chance."

"Yes, as long as we restrain or restrict the opponent's speed, then the King of Limits technique can kill them!"

"Yes, no matter what, he's just a realm lord!"

The powerful experts at the peak of the Tree Crown Thunder Domain were unwilling to give up. Those were several precious treasures, including soul and domain-related items. If they could obtain them, they would be able to turn their lives around.

Therefore, they could only try to find a way, either by reporting to the higher-ups of their tribe or by borrowing a powerful artifact related to restraint or domain from their teachers.

……

Virtual universe.

The summit of Thunder Island in Yuxiang Mountain.

Inside the palace of the Lord of Ice Peaks.

As the dark air currents surged, the Lord of Chaos City appeared.

"Senior brother, what brings you here today?"

"The Lord of the Ice Peaks asked."

The Lord of Chaos City smiled and said, "I have come here for your personal disciple."

"Oh? What happened to my disciple?"

The Lord of Ice Peaks devotes most of his energy to the Cosmic Sea and rarely pays attention to dealing with the internal affairs of the human race. Although he has taken Shen Ping as his disciple, he only pays a little attention to the other party's growth. Only three hundred years have passed, so he naturally will not pay extra attention to him.

The Chaos City Lord glanced at Bingfeng and said, "Junior Brother, your disciple has recently gained fame in the outer battlefield. He has killed several peak King-level cultivators in succession, and even managed to suppress the limit King-level cultivators and escape from among them."

"This strength is even greater than that of Koti."

The Lord of Ice Peak exclaimed in surprise, "Chaos, although my disciple has good talent and his cultivation progresses extremely quickly, he has only been a Realm Lord for less than a thousand years, yet he was able to kill a peak King-level cultivator?"

The Chaos City Lord said, "This information was fed back to me by the Virtual Universe System and the Military Merit System, so it's naturally true. Although some methods may have been used, since you were able to kill him, your disciple must possess the combat power of a peak King-level expert. Rumor has it that he has four powerful treasures, and he even revealed his soul and domain-type treasures on his own recently..."

"What?"

"A soul-type treasure, a domain-level artifact?"

The Lord of Ice Peak frowned. "Senior brother, I did indeed bestow two treasures upon my disciple—one a supreme treasure of armor, and the other a great treasure—but I did not grant him any great treasures related to his soul and domain!"

The Chaos City Lord was taken aback. He didn't doubt his junior brother's words. "So, it's your disciple's own destiny? Haha, that's a good thing. I'm planning to have the Hong Alliance recruit him. What do you think?"

The Lord of Ice Peak nodded, "That's fine, but if we recruit them in his name, I'm afraid it will expose his identity."

Upon hearing this...

The Lord of Chaos sighed, "Your disciple was too high-profile in the outer battlefield. The human realm lord possessed the combat power of a peak King and even killed a peak King. Even if you specially arranged an identity for him, it would be difficult to conceal it."

"How about this, you remind Shen Ping to keep a low profile as much as possible, or perhaps use a different identity on the extraterritorial battlefield."

Soon.

The Lord of Ice Peak then summoned Shen Ping.

"Greetings, Master."

Shen Ping bowed respectfully.

Looking at his youngest disciple.

The Lord of Ice Peak was quite moved. He truly hadn't expected Shen Ping to make such a name for himself in such a short time. "Shen Ping, I know about your actions in the extraterritorial battlefield. What level have you reached among the opponents we arranged for you?"

Shen Ping honestly confessed, "This disciple has already defeated the 2130th opponent!"

The Lord of Ice Peak's eyes lit up. Two thousand opponents—that was the ultimate level of secret techniques. "Good, very good. It seems you've reached a very deep level in secret techniques as well. Not bad."

He then explained the details of Hongmeng's recruitment.

It was a subtle way of telling them to keep a low profile.

Shen Ping replied, "Teacher, after the battle in the outer realms ends, I will return to Chaos City to cultivate diligently for a period of time, striving to break through to the Immortal realm before venturing out again."

The Lord of Ice Peak immediately understood Shen Ping's meaning. "Alright, since you already have a plan, then arrange it according to your own ideas. The Hong Alliance will recruit you in your name. At that time, billions of races in the universe will know that you are the human world lord who was able to kill the peak King-level cultivator in the extraterrestrial battlefield. You should be mentally prepared for this."

"Although the strong are all those who have fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, sometimes, you still have to prioritize preserving your life. You must remember this: if you lose your life, then everything else is meaningless."

Shen Ping replied earnestly, "This disciple understands."

It's not a big deal for him to be a bit high-profile on the battlefield outside the domain. After all, he's just a realm lord and doesn't pose much of a threat. He can kill the demon race, the insect race, and the mechanical race if he really has to pay a price.
