Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger.

Chapter 177 Blade's Edge

Faced with the binding of the Cloud Vine, the four Marquis Immortals felt their spaceship, which was in the process of taking off, suddenly stop and its flight speed dropped sharply.

"Damn it, it's the Moyun Vine!"

The demon royal family immortal cursed angrily. Fortunately, this was only a peak-level World Lord level Moyun Vine, and its binding strength was not as strong as that of an immortal-level Moyun Vine. Otherwise, their spaceship would not even be able to take off. After all, an immortal-level Moyun Vine with 360 main vines is comparable in strength to a high-level King-level immortal.

boom!!

However, before the four could react, they suddenly felt the surrounding world darken, and then an incomparably dazzling blade of light suddenly slashed down.

The two noblemen standing to the side stared in disbelief.

"Such power, such swordsmanship... Could it be that we've encountered a King-level expert?" One of the men, dressed in silver-white armor and sporting a somewhat flamboyant style, with a single horn, looked at his companion and said, "Look at this strike; it even cleaved the enemy's spaceship in two."

"It's probably not as simple as just being granted a royal title," another person said, frowning.

Without any trace of divine power burning, the ability to unleash such terrifying power solely through swordsmanship suggests that only a high-ranking king could possess such strength.

However, their ideas received no response from anyone.

The shockwave from Luo Shen's strike caused sand and stones to fly everywhere, but for the surrounding mountains, such a shockwave was nothing more than a gentle breeze; otherwise, it wouldn't have become such a high-level battleground in this area.

Ordinary areas, such as the planetary fragments in the asteroid belt, simply cannot withstand the aftershocks of a battle between a King-level expert.

"Damn it, it's a King-level expert!"

"I didn't expect that humans would summon a King-level expert from their own race so quickly. I guess this King-level expert just happens to be within this area, otherwise they wouldn't have arrived so quickly."

"What should we do? Judging from the power they've shown, even if we all joined forces, we wouldn't be a match for them."

The three Marquis-level Immortals chimed in, "Boss, why don't we call for reinforcements too? With the Cloud-Piercing Vine interfering and this King-level expert surrounding us, even if we manage to escape, we'll suffer heavy losses."

They had only recently been granted the title of Marquis, and their strength was average, far inferior to that of the immortal royal family of the demon race. Otherwise, they would not have attached themselves to him, hoping to gain his protection. Faced with the powerful Luo Shen, they naturally had no intention of resisting him.

"Alright, that's enough!"

The immortal member of the demon royal family glanced at his subordinates. If he hadn't been out of favor in his clan, why would he have brought along these oddballs?

"Go out first."

As the immortal member of the demon royal family spoke, the hatch of the rest room, forged from F-grade alloy, opened with a 'whoosh'. "Continuing to stay in this spaceship will only make you a sitting duck for them. If you want to die, then stay here."

With a single step, he stood suspended in mid-air above the mountain range, flames igniting around his body as divine power erupted.

This is the opponent's domain of fire laws.

Generally speaking, after entering the Immortal realm, they will combine their own divine power attributes to develop a corresponding law domain. Compared to the domains that can only be used by ordinary domain lords, its power is much stronger. If the opponent's law domain is not as good as their own, they will be restricted in every way in the battle.

High in the sky, Luo Shen looked down at the enormous immortal royal family member of the demon race. Despite being at a disadvantage in size, Luo Shen held a completely superior attitude.

"Your Excellency, the King"

The immortal member of the demon royal family seemed to want to say something, but Luo Shen had no intention of listening.

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and his entire body instantly left a zigzagging trail in mid-air, like a flash of lightning, his speed soaring to an extremely terrifying level. At the same time, a dazzling blade of light appeared along with his figure.

Even without the wings of the Wu assassination plotter and the skull-shaped battle blade, Luo Shen's strike still possessed the power of a typical high-ranking king.

Faced with Luo Shen's strike, the immortal member of the demon royal family dared not be careless and also launched a fierce attack.

The demon race has never been afraid of battle!

Because they are a race born to fight, from the moment they are born they have to fight with their brothers, and during their growth they have to fight with their natural enemies. They have fought all the way to the present day to achieve the pinnacle of being a marquis!

As the fiery claws danced, they shattered the surrounding space. Before a peak Marquis, space was far too fragile. The claws swept up countless fragments of space and ruthlessly tore through Luo Shen.

Even though he couldn't defeat them, he was eager to test the difference between himself and a King-level expert.

Luo Shen's dazzling blade light was even faster, directly meeting the attack. Wherever the blade light reached, a rift in space appeared!

Bang!

Space fragments vibrated and distorted, and a powerful shockwave instantly spread tens of thousands of kilometers. The trees below were directly uprooted by this terrifying shockwave. Even with the resilience of the Flame Sacrifice Continent, it was still unable to withstand the battle between the two!

The immortal member of the demon race was directly cleaved by Luo Shen's blade and sent flying hundreds of thousands of kilometers away. His whole body was numb from the shock, and his internal organs felt like they were about to shatter. Blood gushed out.

Golden blood splattered on the ground, creating deep craters.

Every drop of blood from the immortal Marquis seemed to contain infinite weight. Even when it gushed out, it was just a normal phenomenon. Soon, it surged again and gathered towards the demon royal family. This was the effect of immortality.

Even if the body is shattered into pieces, as long as the divine body has not suffered too much damage, it can still recover to a normal state.

"That's interesting!"

Luo Shen glanced at the demon royal family that had landed on a mountainside in the distance, and then quickly rushed off again.

The demon race is born with a physical advantage, not to mention the royal family of the demon race, whose physical advantage is indeed much stronger than that of humans. Only a pervert like Luo Shen can surpass the other party in strength. This royal family member of the demon race probably only has the ordinary peak level of Marquis, but his physical strength has reached the minimum level of King. If he makes any further breakthroughs, he can probably barely become a King.

Unfortunately, although his divine body was strong and his strength was great, his speed was extremely slow.

Moreover, with Luo Shen's strength, even without relying on the Wu Shi Yu Yi or the Skull Battle Blade, he could still crush him with his understanding of the laws.

"You're too slow!"

Luo Shen's body twisted and flashed, and in an instant he appeared to the right rear of the demon royal family, a flash of sword light.

The battle sword transformed into dazzling colored light, so beautiful it was breathtaking!

Like an unfolding rose, it is beautiful but covered with thorns, and you can easily prick your hand if you are not careful!

"Even if you are a King-level expert, don't think you can defeat me so easily!" The demon royal family member held his breath, his divine body burning, and instantly swung his claw back. Wherever his claw passed, the universe collapsed section by section, just like a road roller rolling over a country road, unable to withstand it at all!

"Where are you looking?"

Swish!

With a flash, the battle blade, which was originally attacking the right rear, suddenly changed direction and attacked the other side.

"Screech!" "Screech!" "Screech!"

The battle blade slashed horizontally, tearing through the air, and countless drops of golden blood splattered. Even with the armor's protection, it was ultimately unable to stop Luo Shen's offensive. Terrible wounds appeared on the demon royal's body, yet the demon royal was powerless to do anything about it.

Fortunately.

The battle sword Luo Shen used was an ordinary F-grade alloy battle sword, not as terrifying as the Skull Battle Sword or the Wu-Slaying Wings. Otherwise, these few strikes would have caused the opponent to lose most of his divine body.

"If it weren't for the need to conceal his identity, Shi Wuyuyi could have taught him a lesson long ago."

Luo Shen curled his lip.

"hateful!"

The demon royal family was going crazy from being toyed with by Luo Shen. After all, Luo Shen's continuous attacks had not harmed his core. Although he looked miserable, he was immortal and suffered no damage at all. In fact, his own burning divine body was more damaging than Luo Shen's.

However, the demon royal family's countless years of combat experience made him realize that Luo Shen in front of him was extremely terrifying, and he had no chance of winning at all.

"Help!"

"I have been attacked by powerful alien beings!"

"A human has been crowned a King, and is suspected of possessing high-level King-level combat strength. This is the coordinate; please send powerful demon warriors to provide support!"

The immortal member of the demon royal family knew his own limitations; he knew he couldn't possibly defeat Luo Shen on his own. So he sent out distress signals to the powerful members of the demon faction within a radius of billions of kilometers. However, he was cautious and didn't directly contact any familiar king-level experts who could teleport.

After all, a group calling for help and an individual requesting assistance have different prices.

Dealing with a high-level human king is no easy task; at least a peak king-level expert would be needed to have a good chance of success.

Luo Shen also looked at the demon royal family member and pondered for a moment. Even if he could keep the demon royal family member here, it would take quite a while. After all, the other party had already reached the peak of the Marquis level, which was barely close to the King level. His immortality was already fully developed.

Before they could even kill the opponent, powerful figures from the demon race would have already arrived.

Therefore, Luo Shen turned his gaze to the three Marquis Immortals beside him. These three were not as strong as the Demon Clan royal family members. Most importantly, they were much smaller in size than the Demon Clan royal family immortals, making them easier to kill.

With a "whoosh," Luo Shen's figure disappeared again.

The immortal royal family of the demon race only had time to prepare and had no time to warn him, or perhaps the pressure from Luo Shen was too great, to the point that he had forgotten that he still had three subordinates.

call!

With speed so fast it was like teleportation, Luo Shen instantly traversed tens of thousands of kilometers to arrive in front of one of the demon race's immortal marquises. The battle blade in his hand gleamed, and wherever the blade passed, the universe was sliced ​​open as if by tofu.

"No, that's not good!"

The demon clan marquis panicked. His strength was already weak, and his immortality was not even stable. Faced with Luo Shen's surprise attack, he could only grit his teeth, roar, and slam his warhammer into the ground.

boom!

The universe collapsed.

The massive warhammer collided heavily with Luo Shen's blade. Instantly, the demon clan leader felt an unparalleled force emanating from the warhammer, which seemed about to slip from his grasp. He quickly tightened his grip, but Luo Shen's blade had already slashed across him from the side at an angle, its cold light gleaming as it sliced ​​straight through his body.

His body was instantly sliced ​​apart by the blade.

The powerful bodies that the demon race was so proud of proved utterly powerless against Luo Shen's battle blade.

"Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!"

The battle blade flashed repeatedly, instantly slicing his body into pieces, triggering a burst of spatial tearing power, and those severed pieces of his body instantly crumbled into dust.

As the spatial forces tore through them, some of the dust vanished without a trace, while the remaining portion instantly coalesced into a human form in the distance. The human, its face filled with terror, stared at Luo Shen and cried out, "High-level King! He has the strength of a high-level King! My divine body has lost over 37%!"

"What?!"

The divine body has suffered a loss of over 37%!?

The immortal members of the demon royal family looked at Luo Shen in shock. They knew that all four of them were Marquis-level experts, and even for those at the King level, it would be difficult to cause them to lose more than 10% of their divine bodies in one go. Yet Luo Shen had managed to injure his subordinates to this extent without burning his divine power.

It's probably not just a matter of being granted the title of King!

Luo Shen's basic genes are thousands of times stronger than those of an ordinary human realm master. He has just mastered the Body Amplification Secret Technique, reaching 33 times the original strength. Combining the two, he reaches 33000 times the original strength, which is considered to be the minimum limit of the advanced level of the King-level. Combined with his understanding of the laws of the nineteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge, the power he displays is close to the peak of the advanced level of the King-level.

While he was still somewhat lacking in strength to crush the immortals of the demon royal family, a peak Marquis with a body two levels below him, dealing with these few demon immortals who had barely reached the Marquis level was indeed a piece of cake.

After all, the difference between barely being granted the title of Marquis and the peak of being a Marquis is enormous.

Against a demon immortal who has barely been granted the title of Marquis, even without burning immortal divine power, a normal attack from a high-level King can damage the essence of the opponent. Burning a little immortal divine power is enough to easily kill them, let alone someone like Luo Shen who is close to the peak of the King title.

While a high-ranking King can easily overwhelm a peak-ranking Marquis, it is unlikely that he can kill them easily.

Especially for demon royals, whose divine bodies are powerful enough and whose bodies are large, it would take a long time to kill them even if they burned their divine bodies. That's why the demon royals didn't choose to notify the familiar demon powerhouses to come to their rescue immediately.

Because in his view.

Although Luo Shen appeared to be very imposing, it would be difficult to kill him without burning more than 10% of his divine body.

10% is a threshold.

Even in battles between King-level experts, they generally wouldn't allow their divine bodies to lose more than 10%, unless it was a life-or-death struggle. This is because divine body losses of less than 10% are very cheap to recover from, while recovering from more than 10% would be painful even for King-level experts.

Before the demon royal family could make any further moves, Luo Shen directly called out to the two human marquises beside him: "Hold them off! None of them will escape today!"

With the Moyun Vine blocking their path in front, Luo Shen eyeing them from behind, and two human immortals at the rank of Marquis helping them, the four demon immortals were in a precarious situation. The demon who had lost 37 percent of his divine body looked particularly grim.

He was not a member of the demon royal family, but just an ordinary Marquis-level immortal. Once he fell, there was no possibility of him being resurrected by reversing time.

"Boss, save me!"

A mournful howl rang out from his mouth, but it stopped abruptly the next second, because Luo Shen's battle blade had already been withdrawn from his body. The continuous bursts of energy annihilated the remaining divine body of this demon race member who had been granted the title of Marquis without hesitation!

With his divine body damaged by more than 30%, his strength was reduced to less than 1% of its original level, making it impossible for him to withstand Luo Shen.

The immortal member of the demon royal family narrowed his eyes.

"Could it be that I will perish here today?" Without daring to hesitate any longer, the demon royal family directly contacted a powerful expert of the same clan who was at the peak of the King level. He knew that only a powerful expert who could teleport could save him.

Luo Shen didn't care about the actions of the demon royal family.

The reason he took action, and why he didn't immediately use the Skull Blade to kill all these Marquis-level officials, was that he wanted to use this battle to announce his arrival to the entire Flame Sacrifice Continent!

"Four titles of Immortal Marquis should be enough to make my name, Blade King, known."
