Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger.

Chapter 160 Earth Crisis

Qianwu Universe Kingdom, Milky Way Galaxy, Earth.

At this moment, Luo Feng sat on the rooftop of the villa where Luo Shen used to live, his mind in turmoil, looking at the bright moon in the sky and sighing silently.

Even though Earth has been transformed several times and has become the highest-level protected life planet in the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom, even though he is now a member of the Original Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe Company, and even though he has become the fourth largest figure in the Qianwu branch of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, he still feels no sense of security whatsoever.

Because the crisis he is facing now is more perilous than any he has ever faced before.

Lord of the Universe!

Moreover, three cosmic rulers simultaneously requested to purchase an island on Earth from him. Although they did not show any dissatisfaction with his refusal, they simply told him to think it over.

But Luo Feng knew very well that the other party had not given up on this idea.

Earth.

The home planet of all humankind is about to face an unprecedented crisis for the first time in seventy years since Luo Shen went missing, and he can only rely on himself.

Even though Hong wanted to ask the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom for help.

However, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom had already received warnings from other universe rulers. Faced with the alliance of several universe rulers whose strength and status were comparable to his, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom said that he could only be willing but powerless.

After all, he still owes his race and other cosmic venerables a considerable amount of treasure points.

"Ah Shen, have you really perished?"

Luo Feng let out a long sigh.

After Luo Shen went to the Abyss of Purgatory, due to the special nature of the space he was in, he lost the ability to connect with the virtual universe network. Therefore, for so many years in the Abyss of Purgatory, no one has been able to contact Luo Shen.

This has led many to suspect that Luo Shen has perished in the abyss of purgatory.

After all, the Purgatory Abyss is the most dangerous mission among the most challenging missions. Many geniuses have perished in the Purgatory Abyss, including Crove, who was once qualified to compete with Luo Feng, Mo Luo, and Sima Yan for the last spot in the Primal Secret Realm. Crove was declared dead in the Purgatory Abyss.

In the first few years, even if some people had the intention, they dared not act rashly.

After all, Luo Shen is the personal disciple of the Lord of Chaos City. Even if something really happens to Luo Shen, he will be brought back by the Lord of Chaos City through time reversal in the future. Therefore, ordinary people would not dare to have any ideas about Earth.

Although the upward trend in business on Earth has begun to decline, Earth itself is still not in any danger.

After all, Luo Feng and Hong, among others, hold high positions in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom and the Virtual Universe Company. As long as the Earthlings have not left the territory of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, no one would be foolish enough to directly attack them.

Until the sixty-eighth year after Luo Shen left the abyss of purgatory—

That is, the past two years.

With the support of the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, Hong and a group of geniuses from the Qianwu Secret Realm entered the Initial Universe to cultivate. They successively opened access to the Bridge to Heaven, the Immortal Altar, and the Illusionary Sea, which led to the subsequent events.

The Immortal Altar is fine, since any Realm Lord can get all the points.

However, the performance of Hong and Thor on the Illusionary Sea directly surprised the senior executives of the Virtual Universe Company. Thor passed through the fourteenth island of the Illusionary Sea, and Hong even made it to the twenty-first island.

This performance prompted a group of company executives to travel to Earth to observe it.

They were eager to know why such a small planet could produce geniuses like Luo Shen, Luo Feng, and Hong one after another. Hong's mental state, in particular, gave many people a lot to think about.

Moreover, even though Thor is slightly inferior to Luo Shen and the other two, he is still much stronger than Uka and the other geniuses of the Primordial Secret Realm in terms of both his understanding of the laws and his state of mind.

Of course, ordinary cosmic rulers cannot perceive the changes on Earth.

But the Lord of Chaos City personally took action.

Although the Lord of Chaos City is only a fifth-order universe lord, his vision is stronger than that of most universe lords because one of his clones is in charge of the initial universe. In addition, he also knows that the earth was originally taken from the Mountain Guest. Therefore, with his foresight, he discovered the secrets of the earth.

However, discoveries are one thing.

Because Luo Shen is the true owner of Earth, the Lord of Chaos City did not take any action against Earth as in the original story. This was mainly because Luo Shen had the potential to become another pillar of the human race in the future, and he could not force Luo Shen to become a second Yan Emperor.

But there's no such thing as a secret that stays hidden forever.

The fact that the Lord of Chaos City knew about it naturally meant that the other high-ranking executives of the virtual universe company also knew about it.

The special nature of Earth quickly spread, and many cosmic venerables and even cosmic overlords, upon learning of it, began to stir with interest, all wanting a piece of the pie.

These cosmic venerables and cosmic overlords have no reason to fear Luo Shen's status.

After all, they are top geniuses themselves, and many of them are direct disciples of the Lord of the Universe. Although the Lord of the Universe, as the pillar of the human race, does not care about these external things, it does not mean that their families do not need them either.

Furthermore, Luo Shen remained in the abyss of purgatory for seventy years without any news of him ever being heard from.

Many people believe that Luo Shen has perished in the abyss of purgatory.

Now that Earth's secrets have been exposed, it's the perfect time for them to make their move. Otherwise, once Luo Shen is revived by time reversal, it won't be so easy for them to take action.

But who would have thought?

Besides the monstrous genius Luo Shen, there is another super genius on Earth—Luo Feng!

Faced with the crisis on Earth, Luo Feng directly stepped into the Domain Lord level and personally took charge of the Earth.

Because he defeated veteran geniuses like Moro and Sima Yan in the first qualifying battle, and even passed the eighth level of the Tongtian Bridge, ranking alongside Bolan and only slightly inferior to Luo Shen, Luo Feng's status in the Virtual Universe Company was not low.

In addition, there was his overprotective teacher, King Zhenyan.

Without any of the cosmic rulers or overlords personally appearing, Luo Feng actually managed to deflect quite a few people with ulterior motives.

The main reason is that Earth still belongs to Luo Shen for the time being. Even though Luo Shen's life or death is currently unknown, he is not someone that ordinary people can provoke. If he angers the Lord of Chaos City, that would not be a good thing.

Therefore, those who initially appeared were all figures of the highest rank, such as kings.

But as time went on, Luo Feng gradually felt powerless, especially since there was no news from Luo Shen. In addition, the appearance of the three cosmic kings made it impossible for Zhenyan King and Qianwu King to stop them.

Luo Feng truly felt the pressure.

"Ah Shen, where are you? Come back quickly, our home is going to be gone!"

Wulong Starfield.

The Nightmare King is having a video conversation with others through a virtual universe network.

"Are you telling the truth?"

The Nightmare King's lips curled into a cold smile as he looked at the person on the screen and said, "If I accidentally kill Zhenyan's little apprentice, your Virtual Universe Company really won't take action against me? He's a genius of your Virtual Universe Company!"

The person opposite him had a twitching eyelid.

What do you mean by "accidentally killing him"? He was clearly just hinting that the other party could be a little ruthless, to let Luo Feng know what matters he could and couldn't interfere in. Why did this Nightmare King want to kill him outright?

I had long heard that there was a rift between Nightmare King and True King, but I never imagined that Nightmare King's hatred for True King would be transferred to his disciple.

"Nightmare King, I never said that."

The man hurriedly said, "If you kill Luo Feng, then the True King and the higher-ups of my company will turn against you. We can't guarantee what will happen. Even Venerable Fire Erosion might not be able to protect you."

The Nightmare King and the True King have a grudge, making them the best pawns to target Luo Feng.

However, they were also afraid that the other party might be a complete idiot and try to kill Luo Feng, so they could only give him a warning in advance to prevent him from doing anything irrational.

Upon hearing the other party's words, Nightmare King let out another cold laugh.

While his father's help was partly to help him become an Immortal King, Nightmare King himself wasn't stupid. He wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess if it hadn't involved True King.

but.

He also received instructions from Venerable Fiery Erosion to take advantage of the situation and get a share of the spoils.

Although the secrets of Earth were previously only circulated among the high-ranking members of the Virtual Universe Company, as more people learned about them, the news naturally reached the ears of the powerful figures from the five major forces. As the personal disciple of the Lord of Void Gold, Venerable Fire Erosion was also able to learn of this news.

Originally, Venerable Fiery did not intend to get involved.

After all, he had no grudge against Luo Shen. Although Luo Shen was suspected of having perished in the Abyss of Purgatory, his senior brothers were still alive. Interfering without cause would easily give those people from the Virtual Universe Company an excuse to embarrass him.

But since some people want to use the feud between Nightmare King and True Origin King to suppress Luo Feng, then don't blame him for overstepping his bounds.

The abyss of purgatory.

Luo Shen had successfully cultivated the second part of the smelting method. After his life gene level jumped to 1024 times, his speed of comprehending the fundamental laws suddenly increased dramatically.

In addition, there's the Abyss Lord's clone, who has already mastered teleportation and time-stopping.

Luo Shen's understanding of the laws of space and time during this period can only be described as rapid!

Not long ago, Luo Shen had already mastered teleportation.

As for the fundamental laws of time that the Earthlings themselves haven't studied much, it would probably take a long time to fully comprehend the secret technique of stopping time, so Luo Shen didn't focus all his energy on it.

He is practicing the secret technique of body vibration—"Nine Refinements of the Body"!

Nine Refinements to the Body!

This is a secret technique for body amplification that the Lord of the Abyss discovered by using his authority over the Abyss. When cultivated to the highest level, it can reach the highest cosmic limit, a hundredfold amplification!

Of course, it is extremely difficult for someone at the cosmic level to cultivate to the perfect limit.

In addition, the time was too short.

Luo Shen spent three years cultivating his body's amplitude to fifty times, but even so, it was still much higher than the Golden Horned Beast's body amplitude secret technique, "Original World."

Inside the space of the pyramid structure.

Luo Shen slowly opened his eyes, gathered his strength in his right hand, and threw a punch. Instantly, he accelerated using his primal force and blasted a hole in the void by oscillating his body.

"Tsk tsk tsk."

Luo Shen shook his head and sighed, "It really is the Body Amplification Secret Technique. Its power is too strong. In the past, I would have had to rely on swordsmanship to create this kind of spatial cutting effect."

The fist shattered the void.

Generally speaking, to achieve the goal of breaking through the void with one's physical body, one must make one's body reach a certain strength.

Only peak Realm Lord level experts can physically traverse the Dark Universe, reaching the speed of light, or even a hundred times the speed of light, which is the highest limit of the universe, because the physical strength of peak Realm Lord level experts has reached this condition after multiple life leaps.

Luo Shen was able to do this only after successfully cultivating the second part of the smelting method and using the body vibration secret technique.

"Aren't you going to continue cultivating?"

The Lord of the Abyss opened his eyes and laughed, "I thought you planned to master the entire secret technique in one go before getting up and moving around. I didn't expect you to stop after only fifty times."

Luo Shen shook his head and said, "This body vibration technique is great in every way, but it consumes a lot of resources."

Take the original Heaven and Earth as an example.

In the original story, Luo Feng was able to gather enough materials to cultivate his own cultivation world only after obtaining the treasure of the sacrificial tower. Before that, the cultivation of the Golden Horned Beast clone in its own cultivation world had not yet reached its peak.

Although Luo Shen spent a lot of points and exchanged for a lot of cultivation resources before entering the Purgatory Abyss.

In addition, there was the help of the blood-red bead and the blood crystal.

However, wanting to master the Nine Refinements Body Technique completely in one go is indeed a bit too greedy. To complete the remaining part of the Body Amplification Technique, he would need at least tens of millions of cultivation resources to achieve mastery.

"So you're planning to leave the Abyss of Purgatory?" asked the Lord of the Abyss.

Luo Shen nodded.

"Anyway, with you here, the entire Abyss of Purgatory will be ours sooner or later. There's no need for me to stay here any longer. My absence for so long might attract the attention of some people with ulterior motives."

"Secondly, I also miss Earth a little."

"After completing this mission in the Abyss of Purgatory, I will break through to the Domain Lord level, return to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom for a visit, and take care of that 'Pansy' from the original story. I'm really envious of that lake of Locke Divine Water."

Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Abyss did not say anything more.

Anyway, they are all the same person, and in the abyss of purgatory, it is easier for him to act alone. He usually has to cover for Luo Shen, and there is always the risk of being exposed if he is not careful.

"I've already repaired that skull-shaped battle sword for you. Now you'll have a better chance of dealing with those alien kings on the outer battlefield."

"The Lord of the Abyss said."

The skull-shaped battle blade disintegrated because the will of the abyss contained within it was extracted, but its material was still quite good. With the help of the core fire of the entire Purgatory Abyss, the avatar of the Lord of the Abyss was tempered and restored to its original state.

Although the Skull Blade doesn't reach the level of a supreme treasure, it's still considered quite good among heavy treasures.

If other rare materials such as G-grade metals could be added and modified by a master craftsman, it might have the potential to become a top-tier treasure or even a supreme treasure, thus satisfying Luo Shen's needs for a long time.

Luo Shen took out the skull battle knife.

It has changed a lot from the original skull sword. First of all, the shape of the skull sword has been greatly modified and now looks more like the Ghost Shadow Sword that Luo Shen has always used. Secondly, this sword is bigger and wider, and it looks a bit like an ancient horse-slaying sword.

Those terrifying skulls have also disappeared, becoming more down-to-earth rather than earth-shattering.

Thanks.

Luo Shen nodded in satisfaction.

The Lord of the Abyss did not speak, but instead looked up at the black vortex above. He raised his right hand, and an invisible wave was instantly generated, startling many of the bound demons around him.

"Let me out! Let me out!"

"Spare me, and I will submit!"

"I want to experience the thrill of killing again, can anyone help me!"

A variety of sounds, one after another, entered the ears of the two of them without missing a single one.

The Lord of the Abyss glanced at Luo Shen, thought for a moment, and then beckoned with his right hand. A figure that had been tortured to a pitiful state and was slightly larger than the purple-black demon he had seen before appeared in front of the two of them.

"You are willing to submit?"
