Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger.

Chapter 168

In the primordial universe, in a remote territory far from the four supreme races.

The territory inhabited by the Naci tribe.

"No, no!!"

The cosmic overlord of the Thorn Clan suddenly couldn't help but let out a low roar, and in his right hand was a token that had lost its divine power, which was the token left in his hand by his personal disciple.

"Extraterritorial battlefield, extraterritorial battlefield!"

The Thorn Clan's cosmic overlord let out a painful howl.

He never expected that even though he had sent two immortal marquises to accompany him, and even though he had prepared life-saving trump cards for his disciples, he still could not escape this calamity.

but.

The extraterritorial battlefield belongs to the four top races. Except during the final battle, it is absolutely forbidden for cosmic lords to enter. Even if he is a cosmic overlord, he will not show any mercy.

Only beings of the level of the Chaos City Lord are entitled to make an exception occasionally.

But the Lord of Chaos City is the ruler of a virtual universe company that is ranked among the top two of the five major powers of the human race. His strength is as high as the fifth level. His status is so high that it is impossible for the little overlord of the Thorn Clan to mess with him.

"Revenge! Yes, revenge!"

Suddenly, the cosmic overlord of the Thorn Clan remembered something and immediately summoned another of his personal disciples.

Not long after.

A powerful figure clad in silver armor, resembling an Avatar with his face etched with various colored stripes, walked over, his wings faintly fluttering behind him—he was none other than a King-level Immortal!

"Teacher!" said the silver-armored man from the Thorn Clan.

"Heba, your junior brother has perished on the extraterrestrial battlefield!" The cosmic overlord of the Thorn Clan looked sorrowful.

The silver-armored man named Heba frowned and said, "Junior Brother has treasures bestowed by our teacher, and two Marquis-level Immortals follow him. Who killed Junior Brother?"

"It's human!"

A flash of anger crossed the face of the Thorn Clan's cosmic overlord, but it quickly turned into sorrow.

After all, the human race is the pinnacle race of the original universe. Even the mechanical race to which the Thorn Clan depends is only comparable in strength to the human race. The four pinnacle races with adjacent territories have been fighting each other for so many years without a clear winner. What can the small Thorn Clan do?

"Humans!"

A strange look flashed across Heba's face. Human beings are constantly emerging with strong individuals, especially the Seven Sword Kings, who are incredibly terrifying. Even though he has reached the limit of becoming a King, he is no match for them at all.

"Teacher, does he resemble the enemy who killed my junior brother?"

"Heba asked."

The Thorn Clan's cosmic overlord nodded.

Even before his little apprentice died and the token became invalid, he had already summoned the two immortal divine incarnations who had followed his apprentice and obtained the appearance of the human who killed his apprentice from them.

"That was a human realm lord."

As the Fiend Clan's cosmic overlord spoke, he used his divine power to depict Luo Shen's appearance.

"Lord of the Realm." Heba frowned. The fact that the human Lord of the Realm was able to kill his junior brother in front of two Marquis Immortals meant that the human Lord of the Realm was not simple. This was combined with the information he had heard from his familiar mechanical friends over the years.

My mind was racing.

"Could it be Luo Shen? The personal disciple of the Chaos City Lord, who, after only a few hundred years of cultivation, passed the eighteenth level of the Human Heavenly Bridge and possesses a super genius with comprehension of the laws comparable to that of a King-level Immortal?"

Heba's lips curled into a smile.

"Master, please rest assured, your disciple will definitely bring back the head of that human realm lord to comfort your junior brother's spirit in heaven!"

Herba said respectfully.

The Naci Clan is just an ordinary powerful clan. There is no Universe Lord in the clan to oversee it. This Universe Overlord is already the strongest in the entire Naci Clan, unless he is willing to spend a great price to invite the Universe Lord of the Mechanical Clan to use the ability of time reversal for his disciple.

"Go, Heba!"

The cosmic overlord of the Thorn Clan encouraged you, "As long as you can avenge your junior brother, your teacher promises to impart to you my most treasured skills and find you a suitable treasure!"

Upon hearing the words "treasure," Heba's eyes gleamed.

If he had a powerful weapon in hand, and with his own strength, he was confident that he could fight against top-tier kings like the Seven Swords King and the Black Shaving King!

In the vast universe.

An ordinary E9-class alloy spaceship was flying at near-light speed toward the distant rocky area. Inside the lounge, Luo Shen and Yan Na were examining the remains of the three immortal members of the Thorn Clan.

"Holy crap, there are starlight tears!"

Luo Shen suddenly exclaimed in delight, taking out a drop of crystal-clear liquid that looked like a tear from the World Ring.

Starlight Tears are a special material that can only be formed when several planets collide under certain special conditions. Just one drop is worth 3 billion points in the treasure trove of the Virtual Universe Company!

The points he gained from conquering the Primordial Tongtian Mountain, a Domain Lord-level mountain, were comparable to those he earned from Luo Shen.

"I never imagined that this Immortal of the Thorn Clan is a second-generation one!" Luo Shen exclaimed in admiration.

When I checked the two Marquis Immortals earlier, there was hardly anything of value. The only thing of value was the weapon they used. The rest of the things I found in the world ring were just scrap metal.

I thought I'd run into a bunch of broke guys.

Upon examining the immortal world ring of the Thorn Clan, it was discovered that the real treasures were actually on the other party.

"Hmm, there's also the Starwood. It seems this kid was planning to forge a weapon based on the laws of time. It's just a pity that after I killed him, they all ended up in my hands."

Luo Shen chuckled as he absorbed all the refining materials on the ground into his inner world.

As for the identity of the immortal of the Thorn Clan, Luo Shen didn't care. He was just a second-generation, so what was the big deal?

Who isn't a second-generation rich kid?

The Thorn Clan only has one cosmic overlord to support them, so it is absolutely impossible for them to break the rules and enter the extraterritorial battlefield. Otherwise, the other three top races besides the Mechanical Clan would not sit idly by.

Even if the other party were to actually get the universe's supreme ruler from the Machine Race to take action, he wouldn't be afraid.

At worst, we can call the Lord of Chaos City over.

On the battlefield outside the domain, one must be prepared to perish. Even Luo Shen, if he is not careful, may be shot in the dark at any time, and even this clone may perish.

After all, even a powerful protagonist like Luo Feng suffered numerous sneak attacks on the battlefields outside the region in the original story.

The miniature and large detectors he's using are only slightly better than those used by Luo Feng. If he were to encounter a truly top-tier detector used by a King, he might be led by the nose at any moment.

Therefore, careful development is the key.

"Huh, I didn't expect this kid to have such a trump card up his sleeve."

Luo Shen suddenly took out something.

This is a long, prismatic object, somewhat resembling a triangular bayonet, but longer, more like a shorter spear. It has a sealed mechanism on it that, once activated, will instantly unleash tremendous power.

It's like the Vulcan Source Crystal.

However, this long, prismatic object is better than the Vulcan Source Crystal in that it doesn't indiscriminately attack friend or foe like the Vulcan Source Crystal. Its burst direction can be controlled, and it can be seen as a variant of some kind of laser weapon.

However, the thing that triggers it is precisely the kind of energy treasure that Luo Shen mentioned, the Fire God Source Crystal.

"Luckily, I took him down in the first place." Luo Shen said with lingering fear, "If he had pulled out that big treasure and shot me, even if I had killed Wu Yuyi, I'm afraid I wouldn't have survived."

Although this long, diamond-shaped thing can only be used once.

However, the power it unleashed was no less than the energy impact of an explosion by a peak-level King-level expert.

Of course, it also has its drawbacks. It cannot create a spatial blockade like the Void-Locking Arm that Luo Feng obtained in the Sacrifice Tower. Once the opponent learns to teleport, this sneak attack will miss its mark.

"Good stuff, keep it for now."

With an energy impact comparable to the self-destruction of a King-level expert, the power of this attack is probably not only comparable to the attack of an invincible King-level expert like True King, but also undoubtedly the strongest attack below the Universe Venerable.

Whether it's used as another trump card or for personal use, it's an excellent thing.

Soon, everything was cleaned up.

Luo Shen sat on the sofa, looking at Yan Na who was sitting quietly to the side, and laughed: "If only we could always encounter enemies with such powerful backgrounds, killing one would be more profitable than killing a hundred or a thousand ordinary immortals."

Yan Na rolled her eyes, speechless.

Do you really think you can run into them every time? You're dreaming. Do you really think that powerful and well-connected "second-generation" kids are so easy to deal with?

If Luo Shen hadn't been strong enough, and hadn't used teleportation to catch his opponent off guard, even if they had managed to completely defeat them by the time the opponent reacted, they definitely wouldn't be as relaxed as they are now.

"We still have three days' journey to the Broken Rock. I expect there will be a lot of fighting along the way."

Luo Shen said.

The closer you get to the rocky area, the more frequent the battles become. At first, you might hear about one battle a day, but now you'll find a fierce battle every few miles you fly.

Even though the detectors were extremely effective, they couldn't prevent other alien races from observing the existence of this alloy spaceship.

"Isn't this exactly what you wanted?"

Yan Na laughed and said, "Not long ago, someone complained to me that a peak Immortal Military Lord plus two newly appointed Marquises only got 29 billion points. Not to mention the points required by the Virtual Universe Company system, even the Military Merit System did not meet the requirements for his solo military merits."

Yes, Luo Shen's military merit requirement was an astonishing 10 billion military merits!

This was probably orchestrated by the Virtual Universe Company, or perhaps by his cheap teacher. After all, the military merits required for a typical World Lord General range from 10 million to 1 billion, far exceeding his level.

At this moment, on a fragment of a broken planet not far away.

Panati, who was sitting in a cave inside a planetary fragment, suddenly opened his eyes and listened to the message transmitted back by the exploration robot. His eyes lit up, like the most dazzling star in the night sky.

"A human spaceship, made of E9 grade alloy, with very low-end surface-hardened runes, appears to be the spaceship of an ordinary World Lord team. However, the possibility of it being a disguised elite World Lord team cannot be ruled out."

Generally speaking, F-class spaceships have higher safety performance, so some powerful immortals will try to get their hands on one.

Only those world lord teams that cannot afford F-class spaceships will choose to use E9-class alloy spaceships, only modifying their rest areas to F-class alloy, as this is safer.

However, Panati had not considered this.

If two immortal kings are hidden inside this spaceship, how should he deal with it?

But that's normal.

After all, under normal circumstances, it is indeed not the case that a King-level expert would come to a low-level area like Shattered Rock. King-level experts usually venture into dangerous places such as the Flame Sacrifice Continent or the Star Tower.

Ordinary immortals are almost all penniless; killing them is effortless, but the reward is pitifully low.

Panati grinned and said, "Even an elite Realm Lord squad is no problem. With the strength of my mechanical swarm, dealing with them is a piece of cake. When it comes to technology, our mechanical race is the strongest!"

Indeed, this Panati is a native immortal of the Machine race.

Within this region of the asteroid belt, he was extremely famous. His combat mechanical race was exceptionally skilled, and even a peak-level Marquis would suffer if he hadn't prepared countermeasures.

Looking out into the void, one can see floating debris everywhere, including corpses, spaceships, and weapons.

suddenly.

A blue energy beam suddenly rose from the surface of a seemingly ordinary metal plate floating in the void, flowing along the surface's patterns and instantly dispersing into thousands of tiny energy streams. These streams flowed along these patterns, growing stronger with each flow, and the heart-pounding energy began to accumulate continuously.

Gradually.

A transparent sphere of light appeared on the surface of the metal plate.

This ball of light, in terms of energy level, although slightly weaker than the attack Yan Na unleashed before, still reached the Marquis level. Even a peak Marquis would definitely suffer greatly if struck head-on.

"Attack!" Panati, a mechanical race member far away, instantly issued the command.

"drop."

"boom!"

A dazzling beam of light instantly pierced the void, illuminating the surrounding dark starry sky, and directly bombarded the E9-class alloy spaceship that was rapidly flying towards the area of ​​rubble. The terrifying energy instantly melted part of the spaceship's hull.

At the same time, the powerful kinetic energy contained in the beam of light instantly tore apart the seemingly solid hull of the spaceship.

The energy ignited the spaceship's propulsion system.

In an instant, the entire spaceship turned into a massive fireball from an explosion. The terrifying shockwave spread outwards, extending for tens of thousands of kilometers, sending large amounts of dust and debris flying far and wide.

Luo Shen and his companion, who were talking in the lounge, didn't even have time to react before they felt a violent tumbling.

The lounge suddenly spun around, tumbling and flying a considerable distance through the void.

"I'm so impressed!"

Having come to a stop, Luo Shen couldn't help but curse, "Is my detector just for show? How come it hasn't detected anything even after someone's come to my house?"

Being ambushed in foreign battlefields is a very common occurrence.

However, Luo Shen had both detectors on and did not sense any trace of being detected, yet he was ambushed, just like the experience of the Thorn Clan Immortal he had previously attacked.

Clearly, his detectors were not as advanced as his opponents'.

But now is not the time to talk about this. Luo Shen nodded to Yan Na, and then the two of them rushed out of the rest room made of F-grade alloy, put away the rest room, and flew off to opposite sides.

"Whoever it is, I'll remember this grudge!"

As Luo Shen flew by, he muttered to himself, "My detector is actually inferior to theirs. Could the newcomer be some kind of Immortal King?!"
