Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Family Revitalization

Within the endless nebula, bursts of lightning flashed, some stretching for hundreds of millions of kilometers. At times, the lightning descended like a waterfall, its power terrifying and awe-inspiring. This was the Canopy Lightning Domain, an extremely dangerous place in the Ninth Battlefield. Only those at the lowest level of King-level Immortal dared to venture here. Only those with high-level King-level combat power or above could venture deep into the Lightning Domain. If an ordinary King-level Immortal ventured into the Lightning Domain, let alone fight against alien races, they would perish if they were unlucky enough to encounter a lightning strike.

now.

The spaceship is traveling through the nebula.

Inside the control room.

Shen Ping shrunk to a two-meter-tall avatar of a cold whale, wearing purple armor, and sat comfortably on the sofa, pondering. This time, he was practicing his sword technique to completely make the universe overlord-level law-patterned sword technique manual that he had digested and absorbed into his own.

"When Luo Feng was competing for the inheritance of the Broken East River, he observed the three Sword Mountains. The flowing patterns of those laws were actually just the most basic inheritances. Although I have absorbed and digested two basic sword techniques, I am ultimately at the level of a Universe Venerable and a Universe Overlord... With these, it is probably impossible for me to create a true Sword Void on my own!"

"But the most powerful secret techniques must move in this direction!"

Compared to other powerful individuals and realm lord geniuses.

Besides the virtual panel, his advantage lies in his understanding of the background and cultivation system of Swallowed Star. Although he doesn't quite understand the details of the laws, he is very clear about the realms. The ultimate goal of fusing laws such as the Golden Void and the Fire Void is to form a secret method similar to the void and the universe. The saying "One thought creates the void, one thought creates the universe" represents the limit of the evolution of the laws.

Even the axe techniques created by the giant axe follow the same path; when these techniques are used, the axe can become a world in itself.

Therefore, from a high vantage point...

Shen Ping certainly understood how to strive towards the level of the strongest secret technique.

That's why the Void Sutra came into being.

But how to improve and optimize it is the main question.

"Through the two sword technique manuals, my biggest problem is that I don't know the shortcomings in my sword technique. Although I have absorbed, digested, and refined the law patterns, and can transform fire and void into the primordial laws of space, fire, water, and wood, and cast the prototype of void, it is still not perfect!"

"Therefore, the next line of defense is not to perfect the Void Scripture, but to engage in relentless sword fighting..."

Clarify your thoughts.

He set himself a plan for the next millennium.

"My Frost Whale clone is quite well-known in the Canopy Thunder Domain. I use an ordinary heavy-duty battle sword to fight, so that I can better hone my swordsmanship."

The Frost Whale clone naturally also possessed a set of supreme treasures, but if he used the supreme treasure battle blade, it would be easy to damage the enemy's immortal divine body essence, which was not what he wanted to see.

boom.

As the spacecraft ventured deeper into space...

They were attacked very quickly.

However, once Shen Ping's icy whale clone appeared, the attackers who were attacking the spaceship saw that it was the Purple Whale King and immediately teleported away.

In this regard.

He didn't care and continued to explore the depths. However, because of his reputation, even high-level immortals who were at the King level would flee when they saw him. Only peak-level Kings would fight him. As the number of battles increased, those peak-level Kings from other races realized that the Purple Whale King was nothing special and gradually stopped being afraid.

This allowed Shen Ping to fight against more alien races.

Apart from that.

He also allowed his human body to occasionally appear, attracting more alien kings to the Crown Thunder Domain. In this way, his Frost Whale clone could use other self-created secret techniques, such as Silver Fire, without being detected.

"Damn it, is this Purple Whale King insane? He's about as strong as me, and can't even hurt my immortal divine body, yet he keeps attacking! Is he crazy?!"

Many peak-level immortals who encountered the Purple Whale King had a headache. The Purple Whale King had strong defense, and burning immortal divine body fluid could not harm it. However, the other party could not do anything to them and instead kept pestering them.

In fact, this situation is not uncommon. As immortal kings, they all know that sometimes they want to create their own secret techniques, but they can't figure them out no matter how hard they try. So, they just keep fighting and killing each other. The Purple Whale King is like that right now.

But knowing is one thing.

Nobody wants to waste their time fighting against someone who's been crowned a king.

However, the King of Kings was still very interested in the Purple Whale King, because some Kings speculated that the purple armor was a great treasure.

For a peak-level king to possess a great treasure is to be guilty of possessing a treasure.

Therefore, a hundred or two hundred years later, the number of those who reached the pinnacle of their power and fought against Shen Ping actually increased.

And just like that, a thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Shen Ping's swordsmanship became increasingly skillful, and his confidence in creating the strongest secret technique grew stronger.

Deep within the thunderclouds.

Upon seeing the Fire Silkworm King and the Bewitching Heart King emerging from the World Ring, and the peak-level King-Sealing cultivator locked in battle with the Frost Whale King, he was filled with terror, but unfortunately, it was too late.

The powerful attack was unleashed by two rounds of heavy weapons.

This peak-level divine body of a king was instantly damaged and fell into a deep sleep. However, before losing consciousness, it frantically spread the news: "The Purple Whale King is in league with the human realm lord!!!"

This news completely shocked the entire Ninth Front.

"What? The Purple Whale King has enslaved the human realm's ruler?"

"That's ridiculous! That human realm lord possesses a soul treasure; how could he possibly be enslaved? It must be the human realm lord who enslaved the Purple Whale King, otherwise how could the Purple Whale King possibly have such a treasure!"

"No wonder we couldn't find the Human Realm Lord all this time. It turns out he's been keeping the Purple Whale King active all these years. If he hadn't wanted to enslave King Baicheng, he probably wouldn't have been exposed!"

"Coordinates, coordinates!!"

Shen Ping did indeed intend to enslave the Hundred Chariot King. After a thousand years of honing his skills, the shortcomings in his swordsmanship had long been resolved. Now, all that remained of creating his strongest secret technique was summarizing and refining it, as well as that moment of sudden enlightenment. Continuing to fight against other alien races would be of little help to him, which is why he was exposed.

"The more King-level Immortals I kill in the outer battlefields, the more likely I am to cash out a large number of reward items!"

Besides the most precious treasures, the family rewards also include many valuable items, but these are only at the level of King and Universe Venerable. Previously, they could not be taken out in large quantities, but the Extraterrestrial Battlefield has provided such an opportunity.

Splash!

When the other kings teleported over.

Shen Ping stopped pretending and switched to his original human form from Earth. He activated the Flowing Crystal Cloud River and swept it away in a mighty torrent. However, he did not kill those Kings, but instead used his speed to teleport away first.

By the time King Tianqin, King Bingzhong, and other immortal kings arrived, he had already vanished.

"hateful!"

"That damn human realm lord ran away so fast!"

"Who knows when we'll be able to surround him again!"

"No matter when, wait!"

These powerful beings at the pinnacle of their power have great patience. For example, King Tianqin has even borrowed a powerful treasure that can bind and trap enemies. As long as he can surround Shen Ping, he is confident that he can kill him. The human realm lord, on the other hand, has several powerful treasures on him.

……

"Haha, you want to ambush me? Dream on!"

Shen Ping quietly returned to the military base. He had spent a long time in the Tree Crown Thunder Domain, a full thousand years, but he had also gained a lot. He not only killed more than thirty high-level Kings and peak Immortals, but also enslaved the Hundred Chariot King, who was skilled in soul manipulation.

He now has two great soul masters under his command, the Bewitching King and the Hundred Chariots King!

Of course, the most important thing is to improve one's swordsmanship.

Although he hasn't created the strongest secret technique, he's very close.

Inside the island estate.

He drank the fine wine, but his consciousness connected to the virtual universe and entered Hongmeng City.

This wasn't Shen Ping's first visit.

He had visited several times in the past thousand years and had gotten to know some powerful figures who had reached the King level in the community, but he had never strolled around Hongmeng City before. This time, he was in a good mood, so he left the community and came to the streets of Hongmeng City.

The streets were bustling and lively, as countless powerful individuals gathered here, the lowest being the King-level Immortal. The demand for King-level and Universe Venerables was very high, so there was everything available, from large spaceship transactions, metal and plant trading, to employment services, team exploration and adventure in secret realms, and so on. There were also dedicated auctions and large supermarkets like Yu Bao Tang selling all kinds of precious items, making it dazzling to the eye.

As he strolled around, he pondered, "In these thousand years, I have already comprehended the spatial sealing principle in terms of the fundamental laws of space. I only need spatial strangulation to comprehend the entire fundamental law of space. As for time, I only need 5 more time essences to comprehend the 72 time essences. Once I have fully comprehended them, I will leave the extraterritorial battlefield and return to Chaos City to cultivate in seclusion!"

It has now reached the level of this fundamental law.

The advantage brought by accumulated talent is getting smaller and smaller, especially after comprehending spatial sealing. This feeling is particularly strong. Even at the Realm Lord stage, the speed of comprehending spatial laws has become slower.

In this regard.

Shen Ping understood that this meant the difficulty of the fundamental laws governing the entire space had increased dramatically.

"Judging from the level of understanding of the laws of space alone, it's truly difficult to follow the path of the ten fundamental laws!"

His talent for the laws is terrifying, yet he still encounters bottlenecks, let alone those core geniuses of the realm lords.

No wonder the Chaos City Lord only took Luo Feng back as his personal disciple after he mastered the first level of the Seven Kills of the Beast God. In fact, the more you progress through the fundamental laws of space, the more terrifying the difficulty becomes. And this is only in two directions. If you comprehend all three directions, the final step of fusion can take many years to achieve.

Like the true King Yan, stuck in the final step of billions of years.

"Even after I create my strongest secret technique, I wonder if it will be able to break through the shackles of the Realm Lord and achieve immortality!"

Although I decided to devote myself to seclusion.

However, if he could break through to immortality, Shen Ping would do so sooner rather than later. But his human form on Earth is a perfect life form, and his inner world is incredibly vast. Breaking through the shackles is not something that can be done easily.

Enter the first floor of Yu Bao Tang.

The various items were all very precious, and if they were placed at an auction in the Universe Kingdom, they would cause world lords and even immortals to go crazy.

Behind Yu Baotang is the Lord of Longxing.

Over the years, Shen Ping has sold off many of the family rewards through the Hongmeng Alliance, gaining a total value of over 2 trillion Hunyuan units. Combined with his accumulation over a thousand years in the extraterritorial battlefield, his current wealth is as high as 2 trillion Hunyuan units.

It looks like a lot, but even here at Yu Bao Tang, you can't buy some of the more precious things.

"Buy anything that can significantly increase the growth of the world within the main body of the realm!"

"Buy it if it enhances the clarity of your understanding of the laws of the universe at the Eternal level!"

"A metal sphere capable of withstanding attacks from an immortal king—buy it!"

"Buy the one that adds metal lifeform fusion to the spaceship!"

"Plants that can enhance the primordial energy of the universe, buy them!"

After a shopping spree.

It cost over 5 billion Chaos Units, which is a huge sum of money for an Immortal King with a net worth of hundreds of billions of Chaos Units.

But Shen Ping didn't feel any pain at all. He bought some rare treasures that could only be bought in the Hongmeng. After all, the Hongmeng was not only a human race, but also had many alien races and vassal races who were kings.

For example, many of the precious items used by Luo Feng's Golden Horned Beast to cultivate "The True World" cannot be bought in the treasure vault, but can be found in the Hong Alliance.

Leave Hongmeng City.

He stayed in the military base to immerse himself in studying and refining his swordsmanship.

At the same time, his consciousness entered the virtual universe and stayed in the Jiuxing Bay community on Heilongshan Island, focusing some of his energy on cultivating the next generation of his family.

More than a thousand years of battlefields outside the region.

The Shen family's bloodline has reached an exaggerated level. Thanks to the allocation of resources, almost every generation has made having children their top priority. This has led to the rapid increase in offspring after the initial 5 million, 10 billion, and 20 billion.

The rewards for family members and descendants have reached a level of prosperity and strength, surpassing assets and fame, the two aspects that initially held an advantage.

Although he had expected it, seeing the sheer number of his family's descendants, Shen Ping couldn't help but marvel at how incredibly prolific they were, far surpassing even him, the ancestor of the family.

"Father."

"The family has grown quite large now; we need to start controlling population growth, otherwise, we won't be able to supply resources later!"

"The eldest son, Shen Yu, said in a deep voice."

He is currently at the Realm Lord level, and among the younger generation of the family, he has improved his strength the fastest. This is even though he focuses most of his energy on managing the family; otherwise, it would have been even faster.

Shen Ping also knew that if they were allowed to continue to reproduce, it would indeed exceed the limit of resources, and some of the younger generation might not even be able to get a single bit of the family resources.

This was destined.

Like the Luo family, many members of the Luo family were left to fend for themselves in the later stages, and their lives were worse than those of ordinary people.

Now, the number of descendants of the family bloodline has reached 23 billion. No matter how much resources and wealth Shen Ping has accumulated, it cannot withstand such consumption. Fortunately, he has the family's reward treasures and precious resources. After selling them, he can quickly raise funds. Otherwise, relying on Pingwei Universe Company, it would be difficult to supply them at all.

"Alright, let's proceed according to the rules previously agreed upon by the family. Generous rewards will be given only to outstanding descendants within the family. Furthermore, the stronger the descendant, the more resources they will be allocated!"

Shen Ping said.

The eldest son breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that his father would continue to provide the same level of resources as before, but given the current size of the Shen family, there was no need to continue as before.

"Father, there are also matters concerning planetary management, the family's internal competition mechanism... and the issue of securing spots for research and discussion meetings..."

It was rare to have Shen Ping come to handle family matters.

Shen Yu poured out all the questions that had accumulated over the years. (End of Chapter)
