Swallowing the Stars: My Comprehension is Beyond the Heavens!

Chapter 203 The Assassin

boom!

The violent energy surge, combined with the terrifying spatial magic, caused the Silverwing spaceship to plummet directly out of the dark universe.

Luo Xia and Leikaer stared solemnly at the figure that suddenly appeared in the darkness in the distance.

"This is an assassination attempt against me..." Rorschach whispered.

Lykar said, "To be able to use spatial magic to influence the Dark Universe, one must possess at least the strength of a Marquis-level Immortal! Your Highness, be careful!"

"Tsk."

Luo Xia sensed the fluctuations in the space, his expression somewhat displeased. "How did they know our course? They actually laid an ambush here beforehand and even sealed off the space..."

boom!

An unparalleled bombardment came from the front.

Lycal realized what was happening and immediately unleashed his divine power.

In an instant, the spaceship unfurled a pair of silver wings, then folded them together to withstand the assassins' bombardment!

The space shattered in an instant!

Terrifying spatial fragments, accompanied by turbulent currents, annihilated everything in their vicinity.

Not far away, a meteorite floating in the darkness shattered like a mirror the instant it was struck by a fragment of space, turning into dust and dissipating!

In the chaos, Lycal stowed away the Silverwing spaceship and then dashed several kilometers away with Rorschach.

Swish swish!

Rorschach and Lyca floated in the dark and desolate cosmic space.

Several figures followed closely behind and surrounded them.

"One, two, three... eight, nine, ten." Luo Xia counted the number of assassins, a smile appearing on his face. "You really think highly of me, sending two King-level Immortals, seven Marquis-level Immortals, plus a peak Realm Lord to assassinate me. This lineup is too luxurious, isn't it?"

"After all, you are the number one genius of the human race."

A sinister voice rang in Rorschach's ear.

There is no medium for transmitting sound in the universe, but immortals have many ways to transmit their own voices.

"Rorschach, are you ready to die?"

A gentle voice rang out. Luo Xia looked over and saw a beautiful and charming woman, who was also the only peak Realm Lord among the assassins.

She chuckled softly, her slender fingers lightly tapping the air. "The clan has sent a few of us, plus these little ones. That should be enough to assassinate you."

The void rippled under the woman's gentle touch.

The next moment, ten thousand Zerg warriors at the peak of the Realm Lord level appeared in the void and roared at Luo Xia and Lykar!

"Rorschach, can you still laugh now?"

An elderly man, who had been granted the title of Immortal King, smiled and asked Luo Xia.

Lykar's expression was grave as he said to Rorschach, "Your Highness, I'll hold them off for a while. You find a way to break through the spatial barrier and teleport away from here."

When space is sealed off, spatial skills such as teleportation cannot be used.

Rorschach was still laughing, as if the ten thousand Zerg warriors and the nine immortal gods did not exist.

He said, "There's no escaping it."

"That's right, you can't escape." The immortal king with long purple hair grinned maliciously as he looked at Lykar. "And, Silverwing Marquis, do you think you can hold us off all by yourself?"

Lycar ignored the talk of becoming an immortal king and simply said to Rorschach, "We have to try. What if His Highness sacrifices himself here..."

"Although we can't escape," Rorschach interrupted Lycar, then stretched, "I didn't say we'd die, did I?"

Leikar looked at Rorschach.

The next moment, an incredibly terrifying aura of law erupted from Luo Xia's body.

Nine law imprints shone brightly between his brows.

At this moment, Rorschach seemed to be the embodiment of the laws of the universe, enveloped by the endless radiance of those laws.

The assassins stared intently at Rorschach.

The Zerg Queen, a Realm Lord-level being, frowned slightly and murmured, "Truly terrifying. An ordinary Realm Lord is considered remarkable if they have even one mark recognized by a fundamental law, yet he possesses nine... This talent, if allowed to truly grow, will absolutely be a formidable enemy of our Zerg race!"

"Let's do it!"

The assassins made their move.

The seven immortal marquises charged toward Luo Xia from seven directions.

The immortal king with long purple hair faced off against Lycar.

The immortals move at incredible speeds, as if they were teleporting!

The seven Marquis-level Immortals wielded different weapons, unleashing various kinds of law-based power as they bombarded Luo Xia!

The space shattered the instant the immortals launched their attack.

A terrifying aura of law permeated the air, as if it would turn this starry sky into chaotic ruins!

Almost instantly, Lykar was blasted away by the purple-robed immortal, spitting out blood and suffering severe injuries!

Although his strength was close to that of a King, it was still far from that of a Purple-Haired King Immortal. In a single exchange, he was beaten until he coughed up blood and flew thousands of kilometers away!

"Your Highness!"

However, even in this critical moment, Lyca was more worried about Rorschach's safety.

While dealing with the attacks of the purple-haired immortal king, he also tried to rush over to save Luo Xia.

Lykar believed that no matter how talented Luo Xia was, it would be impossible for him, a mere first-level World Lord, to survive the siege of these seven Marquis Immortals.

However, the purple-haired immortal king stopped Lycal.

hum-

At that moment, ripples appeared in the space-time in which Rorschach was located.

"What!?"

Amidst the astonishment of the seven immortals who had been granted titles, a long sword resembling a galaxy appeared in Luo Xia's hand.

boom!

A longsword is brandished!

A dazzling galaxy burst forth before everyone's eyes!

Immediately afterwards, the power of space and time spread!

Click!

The spatial blockade has been broken!

"Babata said that immortal gods have their souls integrated into every cell of their bodies. Even if only one cell remains, they can be completely resurrected, making them virtually immortal."

"The only way to completely destroy you is to utterly obliterate your souls or burn away your immortal divine power!"

Rorschach's whispers echoed in the ears of every immortal who had been granted a title.

One of the immortal marquises felt a chill run down his spine. The terrifying threat of death suddenly loomed over him, causing him to roar, "You, a mere first-level Realm Lord, think you can kill us?!"

"Give it a try."

"Secret Technique: Soul-Burning Seal!"

Luo Xia's voice rang in the ears of this immortal marquis, and the next moment, a strange soul imprint was injected into the body of this immortal marquis.

This immortal marquis couldn't react at all, because Luo Xia teleported over and unleashed the secret soul imprint almost at point-blank range.

As soon as the soul imprint landed on Fenghou Immortal, it immediately burned fiercely, fueled by his soul power.

"what!"

A strange soul flame erupted from his entire body, causing the Immortal Lord Fenghou to wail in agony.

This is a burning pain from the depths of the soul, which even the will of an immortal god cannot endure or resist!

"What did you do?!"

Another person, who had been granted the title of Marquis and was immortal, asked in surprise and anger.

"It's just a simple application of the power of laws."

Luo Xia chuckled as he answered, then muttered to himself, "The techniques developed based on the Master's Soul Imprint Secret Technique are indeed effective."

The Soul-Burning Seal was developed by Luo Xia in Chaos City.

The effect of this secret technique is that it uses the enemy's soul as fuel. Once cast, it will continuously burn and scorch the enemy's soul until it is completely burned away.

However, during the casting, Luo Xia also needs to expend his own power to maintain the existence of the soul imprint.

If the enemy's strength is far superior to Rorschach's.

This soul imprint is not as effective as it is now.

But now Rorschach's life gene multiplier has reached 88 times!

The enhancement of life genes brought about the evolution of life, and also gave Luo Xia the confidence and strength to fight beyond his level!

Although Luo Xia's current realm is only at the first level of Realm Lord, the strength he unleashes is definitely at the level of Marquis, or even close to the level of King Immortal!

……

"Babata, how did you come up with the secret technique of Soul Imprint back then, teacher?"

"I don't know. The boss didn't tell me."

"To come up with the secret technique of Soul Imprint, which utilizes the power of laws, you are truly a genius, teacher."

"Really? I think many of the secret techniques in the Virtual Universe Company's treasury are much better than the boss's."

"Many of the secret techniques in the treasure vault are indeed very powerful. But my teacher's soul imprint has given me a lot of inspiration, such as this—"

"What kind of soul imprint is this? I've never seen it before?"

"Of course you haven't seen it. It's something I just developed. I call it the Soul-Burning Seal. When it hits an enemy, it uses their soul power as fuel to burn continuously. It can't be dispelled unless someone kills me or gains a higher level of understanding of the laws than I do."

"That amazing?"

"Of course. Don't be fooled by its simplicity; the power of the laws used within it is not something an ordinary person can wield."

—A conversation between Rorschach, who created the "Soul-Burning Seal," and Babata in their training residence in Chaos City.
