Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger.

Chapter 179 The Treasure of the Sacrificial Tower

"As expected of humans, they really have a lot of tricks up their sleeves."

The Killing King once again deflected Luo Shen's slashing sword, and thrust back, but Luo Shen dodged it. Looking at the distance between them widening again, a cold smile crept onto his lips: "I wonder who your teacher is, that he would even give you such a precious sword."

Luo Shen didn't reply, and leaped again, his blade flashing in the air.

Aside from the human race, the demon race is the most protective of its own. If the younger ones are beaten, the older ones will come out to take revenge. Among the powerful beings below the Venerable level, the demon race and the human race possess the most treasures.

The King of Killing's veiled criticism of Luo Shen for having powerful protective treasures is actually just an expression of his dissatisfaction.

After all, he, a powerful expert at the peak of the King level, didn't even have a single treasure in his hands, while Luo Shen, a human with the strength of a high-level King level, actually possessed a treasure like the Skull Battle Blade. He was extremely jealous, but since he couldn't do anything about Luo Shen, he could only start from these aspects.

The ability to obtain treasures depends on one's own skill.

Luo Shen wouldn't be like some self-righteous people who feel it's unfair and then abandon their skull swords to have a fair fight with the other party.

How long has he been cultivating, while the other party has been cultivating for so many years? The newborn Earth is probably younger than the other party, and Luo Shen has only been cultivating for a few hundred years, which is less than one-fifth of the history of Chinese civilization. The two sides have such a long time difference in cultivation time, yet they are standing on the same starting line. What more fairness do you need?

The fight between the two intensified.

Luo Shen's secret techniques grew increasingly powerful. He gradually became familiar with the secret techniques within the skull sword by using his battle with the King of Slaughter. Most importantly, he absorbed the essence of these techniques to enhance himself.

His mastery of esoteric techniques is constantly improving.

The Killing King was unwilling to be suppressed by a mere kid like Luo Shen, so he began to burn his immortal divine power, unleashing his aura a hundredfold or a thousandfold. In an instant, the situation between the two sides reversed, and the Killing King from before became Luo Shen in the present.

However, Luo Shen did not make any statement.

Although the King of Slaughter burned some of his divine power, unleashing an extremely terrifying force, it was still within Luo Shen's limit of resistance. Although he was being suppressed and the scene was somewhat ugly, Luo Shen did not suffer any losses.

You must know that the King of Slaughter is a powerhouse at the peak of the King-level realm!

For Luo Shen, a realm lord, to force his opponent to burn a portion of his divine power and to remain undefeated under the opponent's powerful offensive was already a great victory.

"Since you, King of Slaughter, are so eager to protect this member of your clan, then I will let go," Luo Shen grinned.

It has a very sarcastic tone.

"Hmph, trying to leave!"

Having burned his immortal divine power, the Killing King was naturally unwilling to let Luo Shen leave just like that. If he could, he would even want to take the skull battle sword from Luo Shen's hand and keep it for himself!

But Luo Shen is much faster than his opponent!

"I don't need to worry about the King of Killing so much. If there's a chance, we can meet again next time."

Luo Shen dodged and dodged as he burrowed into the ground.

Although he didn't have the wings to kill Wu, Luo Shen's speed of change was extremely fast, changing direction thousands of times in a short period of time. Even though the King of Killing burned some of his immortal divine power, he could only barely keep up with Luo Shen's movements.

"If this guy didn't have the King of Nanga by his side, nor any iconic winged treasures, I would probably think he was the Silver Feather King."

At the same time, two powerful figures who had been granted the title of King emerged from the seventh battlefield.

They are quite similar in terms of strength and fighting style, and both are from the human race. Although one is a realm lord and the other is a king, the commonalities between them are still quite suspicious.

That's why the King of Slaughter burned part of his divine body in an attempt to force Luo Shen to reveal more of his secrets.

As a result, it is still unknown how much of Luo Shen's background the Killing King has discovered, but his burning immortal divine body has not yielded any valuable information, which has made this king-level powerhouse quite unhappy.

One in front of the other.

The rocks deep beneath the Flame Sacrifice Continent are incredibly solid; even a full-force attack from a peak Realm Lord cannot shatter them.

However, in front of Luo Shen and Killing King, two super strongmen at the King level, it was extremely fragile and was easily crushed into dust by the two. A long, winding passage, like a snake, was born behind the two, but no one cared.

Luo Shen quickly flew deeper underground, while the Killing King followed closely behind him, not letting him get far away. Every now and then, the two beams of light of different colors collided with each other, and then they rushed forward again, one after the other.

They flew deeper and deeper.

The Seventh Battlefield, or more precisely, the entire extraterrestrial battlefield, originated from a certain cosmic secret realm.

Originally, these cosmic secret realms were inhabited by indigenous creatures, but when the extraterrestrial battlefield was opened up, the super strongmen of the four peak races joined forces to sweep them away, and these indigenous creatures were unable to resist and fled in panic.

This is why many mysterious legends have been left behind in the various star field battlefields.

On places like the Flame Sacrifice Continent, one can often see many sacrificial carvings that have not decayed even after hundreds of millions of years. These sacrificial carvings were left behind by the original inhabitants of the Flame Sacrifice Continent when they fled.

Besides these carvings, the most famous thing on the Flame Sacrifice Continent is naturally the 'Sacrifice Tower'.

The so-called sacrificial towers are actually large survival bases, or places of inheritance. When the natives of the Flame Sacrifice Continent fled, in order to ensure the survival of their clan, they placed many treasures in the sacrificial towers and then quickly escaped with the towers.

Of course, no matter how fast they fled, some of the sacrificial towers were eventually seized by the powerful members of the four peak clans before they could escape, or the powerful members they carried were killed, leaving behind the talismans that had been activated on their bodies, waiting for future generations to discover them.

The process of creating the sacrificial tower is very mysterious, and it is different from the mainstream refining methods in the primitive universe today.

Even with detectors, even with the divine power of a cosmic sovereign, they cannot be directly detected, so many undiscovered sacrificial tower advances are still hidden in some area of ​​the Flame Sacrifice Continent.

Deep underground somewhere on the continent of Yanji.

This is a colossal structure standing amidst mud and rocks. Because it is obscured by mud and rocks, only a few hundred meters can be seen. This is merely a circular passageway door on the massive building, except that the passageway door is now completely closed.

Even after millions of years, the tower remains intact.

Not far from the sacrificial tower.

The body of a bald, powerful figure, over two meters tall, with a body as smooth as jade and six arms, was lying quietly on a rock. Millions of years had passed, and the body remained intact, but the soul within had completely dissipated.

This is one of the six leaders of the altar.

When the four peak races opened up the battlefield, a large number of cosmic venerables launched soul attacks, sweeping across the entire Flame Sacrifice Continent. All life on the Flame Sacrifice Continent, except for those who could run fast, was wiped out!

This powerful figure who was granted the title of King was one of those who failed to escape at that time.

Around the body of this powerful figure, there were five other corpses, all lying quietly on the ground, without a sound.

They lay there as always, just as they had millions of years ago when the super-strong beings of the four peak races descended and swept through the land. Only when this place is discovered will things change.

"Don't even think about escaping!"

The King of Killing has been pursuing Luo Shen for a long time.

Having burned one percent of his divine body, the Killing King has now stopped burning his divine body because he has discovered that Luo Shen's speed is simply too fast. If he continues to burn his divine body to chase after him, he probably won't be able to do anything to Luo Shen.

I'm still chasing them from afar, simply because I've been holding onto a grudge.

"King of Slaughter, stop chasing me! If you keep chasing me, I'll be home by the time I get there."

Luo Shen continued to change direction at all times, and his speed remained astonishing. He manipulated the Killing King behind him with ease. In this area without any restrictions, he was almost invincible!

Even if the King of Killing tries to teleport, he can escape instantly by relying on his terrifying ability to instantly change direction the moment the opponent teleports.

Moreover, Luo Shen can also teleport.

Continuing to pursue this will at most waste some time, but it won't have any impact on him.

Sensing that the King of Slaughter's speed behind him had not decreased at all, and had even increased slightly, Luo Shen simply shrugged and changed direction again.

"what?"

After changing direction, Luo Shen suddenly felt something was wrong. How could a circular passageway suddenly appear in the dark underground ahead? He used a miniature detector to probe ahead and found that the area within tens of kilometers ahead was all soil and rocks.

"Soil, rocks?"

Luo Shen was somewhat stunned; this was clearly an ancient building.

A certain message suddenly flashed through my mind.

Offering sacrifices at the tower!

Having chosen to come to the Flame Sacrifice Continent, Luo Shen naturally read through all the records of the entire Flame Sacrifice Continent before coming. Moreover, how could Luo Shen not know about the Flame Sacrifice Continent's sacrificial tower, which was mentioned in the original work?

The direction changed again, and Luo Shen quickly headed towards the circular passageway to his right.

Since an altar has appeared, and in a place where there is no record of any altar, Luo Shen naturally understands that this is the place where an undiscovered altar treasure is buried.

"In the original story, Night King and Ice Blade were the ones who discovered the newest sacrificial tower, but we don't know if it's this one."

Throughout the entire Flame Sacrifice Continent, there are quite a few remaining sacrificial towers.

When the original inhabitants of the Flame Sacrifice Continent fled the battlefield beyond the domain, they were divided into tens of thousands of sacrificial towers. Of course, these tens of thousands of sacrificial towers were also divided into high and low levels. Only one hundred people controlled the main inheritance, while the remaining 9900 teams were just a mix of good and bad.

After all, the four top clans also dispatched a large number of powerful individuals to hunt and kill, striving to completely exterminate the native inhabitants of the entire Flame Sacrifice Continent.

Without the existence of these "cannon fodder," and with the sacrificial runes on the sacrificial tower able to conceal their aura, block detection, and seal space, the pursuers from the four top races would be greatly distracted, and it is likely that only a handful of the natives of the entire Flame Sacrifice Continent would be able to escape.

Of the more than ten sacrificial towers discovered earlier, almost all of them were these so-called "cannon fodder".

Although it contains so-called "treasures," this is only relative to ordinary king-level powerhouses. For the original races of the Flame Sacrifice Continent, it is nothing more than cannon fodder used to attract attention. The true inheritance tower has not yet been discovered.

As for how many of the inherited sacrificial towers escaped, and how many remained buried beneath the ancient Flame Sacrifice Continent.

In fact, even the native inhabitants of the Flame Sacrifice Continent were unaware of this.

But Luo Shen didn't care about any of that.

Whether it's a so-called "cannon fodder" sacrificial tower or a "legacy" sacrificial tower, for him now, the treasures in any of the sacrificial towers are a considerable fortune.

Therefore, he naturally chose to seize the initiative first!

The opening of the sacrificial tower is related to the so-called "token," which is the talisman! Only by carrying the talisman can one pass through the gate of the sacrificial tower and enter its interior.

However, the altar is heavily guarded. To unlock the final treasure, six beings must be organized, each holding a token, and enter through one of the six entrances to obtain the treasure!

Because it was always flying ahead, Luo Shen was extremely fast.

Before the King of Slaughter arrived, he had already taken the tokens of two of the leaders, along with the wealth they had accumulated.

"Damn it!"

The King of Slaughter's furious voice came from behind.

"Leave the treasure behind!"

The halberd swept across the sky for dozens of miles in an instant, directly targeting Luo Shen, who was about to collect the tokens and wealth from the third leader. It showed no mercy and was determined to kill Luo Shen!

"Are you afraid of me?"

Luo Shen collected the entire corpse of the leader, raised the skull sword in his hand, and the blade flashed through the air!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The surrounding solid rocks instantly crumbled, revealing the original appearance of the altar, while the corpses of the three leaders who had been lying quietly on the ground were swept away by the terrifying shockwave and flew into the distance.

"Damn it! You King of Slaughter, you're a real dog!"

Upon seeing the leader's corpse fly away, Luo Shen immediately cursed and, disregarding his fight with the Killing King, chased after the leader's corpse in the distance.

The King of Slaughter was scolded until his face was full of anger.

But at this moment, the corpses of the leaders and the wealth they contained were clearly more important, so they had no time to pay attention to Luo Shen's foul mouth and turned to chase after the nearest other leader's corpse.

Luo Shen's speed in changing direction was extremely fast, even surpassing that of the Killing King at the pinnacle of his power.

But in terms of absolute speed, the King of Slaughter is naturally faster!

As Luo Shen collected the fourth leader's corpse, the Killing King had already stored the remaining fifth and sixth leader's corpses into his world ring, his eyes flashing with cold light as he stared intently at Luo Shen.

"Human, hand over these items, and I might spare your life!"

The King of Slaughter almost gritted his teeth as he spoke.

Of the six leaders' corpses outside, Luo Shen collected four, while he, being somewhat behind Luo Shen, only collected two. Although he only briefly scanned them with his divine power without examining them carefully, the Killing King already knew what an astonishing treasure this was.

However, a huge portion of this astonishing wealth was obtained by Luo Shen, who was granted the title of king, which was unacceptable to him.

"You want it?"

Luo Shen chuckled and said, "Catch up with me, defeat me, and I'll give you everything, not just these things, but all the wealth I have." Before the Killing King could reply, Luo Shen turned around and flew towards the entrance of the circular passage.

Instead of wasting time arguing with the other party, he could have taken all the treasures left behind by the immortal inside.
