Swallowing the Stars: My Comprehension is Beyond the Heavens!

Chapter 156 Realm Lord and the Sky-Slaying Blade

As the army assembled, many powerful figures came over and took their subordinates with them.

70,000, 60,000, 50,000...

The number of adventurers in Luo Xia's army was dwindling.

Finally, Mingyu appeared.

"Haha, Rorschach, it's so nice to see you again."

The tall and strong Mingyu stood in mid-air, laughing heartily as he spoke.

"My lord." Luo Xia bowed before leading his elder brother Luo Feng and the others to fly to Ming Yu's side.

More than two hundred people in the group flew over and bowed to Mingyu.

"Alright, everyone go to my manor to rest!" Ming Yu smiled at Luo Xia and the others, nodded slightly, and said.

After he finished speaking, he took the lead and flew forward.

Luo Xia and the others followed behind, and soon they arrived at a beautiful manor built on the grassland.

Upon entering the manor, the more than 200 adventurers were sent away.

Luo Xia and his five companions sat at a table with Ming Yu.

Mingyu shook his head and said, "As you all know, one of my subordinates, Bendi, broke through to the cosmic level and got me a treasure. Although it was at the bottom of the rankings, it was still a very expensive treasure."

"Unfortunately, he was killed and the treasure stolen when you returned. I heard that you were the first to spot the spaceship, Rorschach?"

When he finished speaking, Mingyu looked at Luo Xia.

Luo Xia nodded. "Yes, Lord Mingyu. It's a pity that we couldn't save Lord Bendi and the others in the end."

Ming Yu said, "There's nothing we can do about it. After all, the Ninth Prince Brolin and his group used laser cannons and laser guns. Even we domain lords would find it difficult to dodge the laser gun attacks."

He paused, then finally asked, "How was your harvest in the Realm Within a Realm this time?"

Luo Xia smiled at Ming Yu and said, "I've exchanged it for a treasure."

Mingyu blinked; he knew about this.

Ben Di told him.

I just don't know what treasure Rorschach traded for...

Mingyu asked expectantly, "What treasure?"

With a thought, a three-meter-long, wide-handled battle sword appeared on the table in front of Luo Xia!

The blade of the battle sword is covered with incredibly complex secret patterns, and a chilling aura flows throughout the entire sword. It can be seen that the space around the blade is trembling slightly.

The fierce and powerful aura made Luo Xia and the others turn pale.

"Lord Mingyu, this is a fifth-tier Force weapon called the 'Sky-Slaying Blade'," Luo Xia said.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Ming Yu stared intently at the Sky-Slaying Blade, his eyes burning with fervor!

treasure!

This Sky-Slicing Blade is even more valuable than the treasures Ben Di exchanged for him!

After a long while, Mingyu withdrew his burning gaze and looked at Luo Xia, saying, "Luo Xia, this gift you gave is quite extravagant. Do you know how much it's worth?"

Luo Xia laughed and said, "I know, it's an astronomical price! An astronomical price that we can't even imagine."

Ming Yu nodded. "Yes, it's incredibly expensive. My entire fortune combined wouldn't be enough to buy such a battle sword. I said before that I wouldn't treat you unfairly. So, what are your requirements?"

Luo Xia and Luo Feng exchanged a glance.

Then Luo Xia said, "Lord Mingyu, we only hope to leave Canglan Star safely. We don't have any other requests."

"You've safely left Canglan Star... Haha! Luo Xia, you're cautious enough. But don't worry, there are plenty of powerful individuals on Canglan Star now, so no one will act recklessly. You're safe."

"Mingyu said."

Then, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, before saying:

"That's hardly a request. How about this... I'll give you one-third of my territory! No, that won't do either, you'll attract unwanted attention. Here's the deal: from today onwards, half of the nearly 100,000 inhabited planets under my command will be yours."

Luo Xia and Luo Feng blinked.

Is this the domain lord?

There are easily hundreds of thousands of life-bearing planets...

Luo Xia said, "Lord Mingyu, I am just a Heng-level being. I have no use for so much territory and cash! Don't give it to me."

Ming Yu looked at Luo Xia and said, "You won't need too much territory, but the benefits will be significant later. Besides, as a domain lord, how can I accept your benefits for nothing?"

He shook his head and said again, "Don't refuse me. If you think it's too much, I'll transfer ownership of all ten thousand planets under my control to you?"

Seeing that Ming Yu looked like he couldn't refuse, Luo Xia hesitated and said, "Then two hundred life-bearing planets, one hundred for me and one hundred for my brother."

"Alright." Mingyu nodded. "Each of you brothers will have a hundred planets as your territory. That won't be very conspicuous in the universe and won't attract the attention of important figures. As for cash, I don't have much... far from enough to cover the value of the 'Sky-Slaying Blade' you gave me."

Luo Xia shook his head and said, "Lord Mingyu, the two hundred life-bearing planets you gave us are enough. We can skip the cash."

Mingyu said, "Give me your account."

Luo Xia opened his mouth, but Ming Yu was watching, so he had no choice but to give out his account number.

Luo Feng blinked to the side. Was this guy rushing to give away money?

Upon seeing Luo Xia's account, Ming Yu chuckled, "Cosmic Galaxy Bank...you're quite wealthy."

In this universe, anyone who can open an account at one of the two major banks is wealthy.

Those without money can only open a galaxy-level bank within their own galaxy.

The account number Luo Xia gave was a new account opened at the Cosmic Galaxy Bank, not the account number left by Teacher Hu Yanbo.

A short while later, Babata suddenly said, "Rorschach, you have received an email."

Rorschach asked, "What did the email say?"

Babata glanced at it and said, "Mingyu transferred 200 billion cosmic coins to you, so you've now been promoted to a two-star user at the Cosmic Galaxy Bank."

"200 billion cosmic coins?" Rorschach was somewhat surprised. "That's equivalent to the total price of 10 inhabited planets!"

He quickly stood up and said to Mingyu, "My lord, this..."

"What's this? It's for you, just keep it."

Ming Yu was overjoyed to receive the Sky-Slaying Blade. He pressed down on Luo Xia's shoulder, and an invisible force pressed down on Luo Xia's shoulder, causing him to sit down again after standing up.

Don't think that just because I'm giving you a lot, you're doing this.

Ming Yu looked at Luo Xia, smiled and shook his head, "200 cosmic coins can't buy the Sky-Slaying Blade you gave me. If I give you less, I'll feel indebted... which is not good for my cultivation."

Rorschach blinked.

Suddenly, the surrounding space began to tremble slightly, like a breeze suddenly blowing across a still lake, causing ripples to spread across the space.

Immediately afterwards, a figure appeared.

He wore a black cloak, had two antennae on his head, a cold and stern expression, and a pair of eyes that seemed to encompass the entire world, deep and mysterious.

"General!"

Ming Yu was slightly startled and quickly bowed. Then he said to Luo Xia and the others, "This is the Lord of my Three Axes Mountain."

Luo Xia and the others quickly bowed, "Lord of the Realm."

The realm lord glanced at Luo Xia, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, but he said nothing, instead turning his gaze to the Sky-Slaying Blade on the table.

He said, "Mingyu, you're lucky."

Mingyu gave a simple and honest smile.

The Realm Lord continued, "I'll buy this Sky-Slicing Blade; I'm just missing a good weapon."

Upon hearing this, Ming Yu quickly replied, "Even a fifth-tier Origin Force weapon cannot unleash its full power. It is my honor to allow the General to use it."

As he spoke, he stepped forward, raised the Sky-Slaying Blade, and offered it to the Realm Lord.

The tall, thin realm lord stretched out his hand, and the Sky-Slaying Blade immediately flew into his hand.

His eyes gleamed with golden light, illuminating the blade and revealing the strange, intricate patterns covering it. He grinned, "A fine blade!"

Wow!

The Realm Lord, wielding the Sky-Slaying Blade, casually slashed the air with it.

To Luo Xia and the others' astonishment, a crack two or three kilometers long was torn open in the clear blue sky!

Behind the cracks lie all sorts of fleeting illusions and disillusionments.

"Hahahaha!" The Realm Lord laughed heartily, gripping the Sky-Slicing Blade with great satisfaction. "As expected of the Sky-Slicing Blade! My understanding of the origin of space is only superficial, but by activating the Sky-Slicing Blade, I can easily tear through space! Truly a fine treasure!"

Mingyu smiled and said, "Congratulations, General."

The Realm Lord looked at Ming Yu and smiled, "Ming Yu, taking your Sky-Slaying Blade won't be a huge loss for you. I've already earned the money, and... I owe you a favor!"

After saying that, the Realm Lord disappeared.

Luo Xia frowned, staring at the spot where the Realm Lord had disappeared, sensing extremely subtle fluctuations in the airflow. "Such speed..."

Luo Feng asked, "Did the Realm Lord disappear? Was it teleportation?"

Babata said, "It's not teleportation, it's just that the flight speed is too fast for your reaction time to keep up."

Luo Feng asked curiously, "Did it leave by flying? How fast?"

"At the moment of departure, the instantaneous speed was 32169 kilometers per second," Babata said.

Rorschach said, "That's already one-tenth the speed of light."

While Luo Xia and the others were communicating using telekinesis, Ming Yu had also finished looking at the money the Realm Lord had sent him.

He laughed heartily and said to Luo Xia, "Luo Xia, I took the Sky-Slaying Blade you gave me and resold it for a high price. I really need to thank you properly."

"What are you saying, sir? We should be thanking you. Without you, my brother and I would have been unable to move an inch in this world, and we would never have been able to come out alive."

After chatting for a while longer, Luo Xia and Ming Yu tactfully took their leave.

After leaving Mingyu's residence, Luo Xia and his group flew to the headquarters of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance to hand over the items needed for their apprenticeship assessment.

After handing over the full amount of Unicorn and Windstone, Rorschach and his group of five became cosmic trainee mercenaries.

"Rorschach, you should leave quickly," Babata said. "There are still many people looking for you on this planet, Canglan. If they find you, you'll be in trouble."

"It's time to go."

Luo Xia nodded and flew towards the harbor with Luo Feng and the others.

Shortly after, they retrieved the spaceship from the docking port. Under Babata's control, the spaceship flew out of the docking port and, just a few seconds later, entered space travel, heading into the dark universe.

"It should be safe now, right?"

Rorschach said.

Babata scanned the area and said, "No one is chasing us, so we should be safe."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xia and Luo Feng both breathed a sigh of relief.

Now they can rest well and take stock of what they've gained in this world within a world.

It's almost the end of the month, so I'd like to ask all my dear readers for your monthly tickets and recommendation votes!
