Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger.

Chapter 182 Oriole or Hunter?

"These alien races are indeed impulsive; they started fighting before even seeing the treasure room."

"Kill them all! Kill them all!"

"It's a pity there are only so many. If more alien races had died in this battle, that would have been better! Back then, the four top races destroyed our race and occupied our homeland. Even the Venerables and Leaders died at their hands. Only we, the people in the core area, were lucky enough to escape."

Inside the core control room of the sacrificial tower, several natives of the Flame Sacrifice Continent were watching Luo Shen and his group fight.

As mentioned before, the natives of the Flame Sacrifice Continent once placed their people in ten thousand sacrificial towers in an attempt to perpetuate their race. However, the arrival of the four peak races was too swift, and under the sweeping power of the divine forces of numerous cosmic venerables, a large number of their people perished. Only those who hid within the core area of ​​the sacrificial towers managed to survive.

However, since the leaders responsible for controlling the escape from the sacrificial tower had not yet entered, they were swept away by the ethereal divine power and perished directly, thus trapping them inside the sacrificial tower.

The passages to the core area inside the sacrificial tower require a token to open.

The symbols are found on several leaders.

The only way for them to leave the sacrificial tower is through the divine kingdom teleportation. However, once they leave through the divine kingdom teleportation, it is extremely difficult to return to the outer battlefield. The powerful figures of the four peak races, who have been focusing their attention on this battlefield, will immediately destroy them once they discover their existence!

Therefore, for so many years, they could only eke out a living and reproduce within the kingdom of God.

"Those two humans are truly terrifying. They managed to gain the upper hand even when outnumbered two to three. It's over; those powerful demons are about to be defeated."

"Lord God, what should we do? If this continues, he will take away all the tokens, and perhaps in the future he will even open the treasure room and inheritance room hidden inside this sacrificial tower."

"A powerful figure with four arms on his back said anxiously."

It should be understood that all sorts of treasures and strange people and events exist in the universe. Although the sacrificial runes of the sacrificial tower are powerful and can shield against the divine power sweep of the universe's venerable beings, they are not invincible. If they were to encounter an existence like the Demon Slayer Clan's clone that can simulate life force, it might deceive the intelligence inside the sacrificial tower.

At that time, their long-awaited intentions will be completely destroyed.

Of the ten thousand sacrificial towers, only one hundred have inheritance chambers, which contain various secret methods accumulated by the indigenous race over countless years and best suited to the life structure of the people.

For a race, the importance of treasures is far less than the importance of inherited secret techniques.

In the original story, after Luo Feng obtained the inheritance of Duan Donghe, he possessed all the inheritances from the apprentice level to the peak of the true god level, which caused the entire human race to begin to burst forth with new vitality. A continuous stream of strong people emerged, and many geniuses who had been unable to break through and were stuck at the bottleneck in the past received new inspiration and finally broke through!

No matter how many treasures you have, they will eventually run out.

But the secret methods are different.

The secret method makes it easier for people to comprehend the origin of the universe from low to high, and has a greater probability of becoming a strong person. Once their race gives birth to another cosmic venerable, or even a super strong person at the level of a cosmic overlord, they will have the opportunity to rejoin the ranks of the cosmic races.

"Don't rush, wait a little longer."

The God Lord frowned as he watched Luo Shen and Yan Na rapidly approaching the three frozen demon kings on the screen.

He knew perfectly well.

Once all the tokens fall into Luo Shen's hands, the probability of them obtaining the secret techniques from the inheritance chamber will be extremely low. But given the current situation, it seems that Luo Shen and Yan Na are far too powerful.

It should be noted that the Killing King is a peak King-level expert, while the other two are at the peak of the King-level and the same peak King-level expert.

Even these three powerful individuals were utterly powerless against the onslaught of Luo Shen and his companion.

Although they were more numerous, there were only two peak-level Kings: one was himself, and the other was an elder who had led the clan's development since the fall of the original leader. Of the remaining few, there were only two advanced-level Kings, and the rest were newly appointed Kings.

Although they were numerous, none of them were truly capable fighters; a single peak-level King could easily annihilate them all.

"Alas, if we had been able to obtain the secret techniques from the inheritance chamber back then, we wouldn't be suffering here now."

The Inheritance Chamber contains numerous secret techniques, especially the Body Amplification Secret Technique, which is quite rare even in the universe. This Body Amplification Secret Technique is most suitable for their race and is even stronger than the Golden Horned Beast's True Body Heaven and Earth Cultivation to the Great Perfection.

If he possessed this body amplification technique, his strength would definitely not be inferior to that of powerful figures like the King of Killing.

"Wait, something's changed!"

Suddenly, a king exclaimed, "Those three demons used a trap against us! They weren't frozen! We're doomed! Those two humans have fallen for it!"

"No, those two humans are incredibly strong too! They're evenly matched. Ah, they've unleashed their immortal divine power and are fighting desperately!" Another King exclaimed with delight, "Lord, heaven is on our side! Once they've fought enough, we can go out and reap the rewards. Not only will these alien races be unable to escape, but we'll also have a chance to reclaim the remaining two treasure rooms and inheritance rooms opened with tokens!"

"My Lord, it's time!"

"My lord, let the elders make the decision!"

The other kings all looked at the two peak kings in the center. Now that the entire clan was falling apart, it was only under the leadership of these two that the clan gradually prospered. Therefore, they all obeyed the words of these two.

"Elder, what do you think?"

The God Lord dared not make a decision blindly. Although the two sides were currently engaged in fierce fighting, neither side was fighting with their lives on the line. If they rashly intervened now, the other side might turn their offensive and target them first.

After all, for the four top clans, these natives should have long since perished in the dust of time, never to rise again.

"Let's wait and see," the elder hesitated.

For some reason, he always had a sense of unease in his heart, just like when the four peak clans descended and destroyed his entire clan without any warning, so that they have never been able to regain their former glory.

Their gaze fell upon the virtual projection.

Suddenly, to their surprise, the two sides that had been fighting to the death suddenly stopped. The human man raised his head, his gaze seemingly meeting theirs, and slowly said, "I know you are watching, and I know your goals. We can actually cooperate."

One of the princes hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is he trying to communicate with us?"

"But how did he know we were there?"

The God Lord stared at Luo Shen for a long time, unable to tell whether Luo Shen was bluffing or truly knew of their existence, which was why he spoke to them. But judging from the result, Luo Shen's side had completely subdued the three demons.

In other words, there are now at least five powerful individuals at the peak of the King level eyeing them covetously.

"The tokens are all in their hands. If we want to obtain the secret techniques from the inheritance chamber, we have no choice but to cooperate with them." The elder remained silent for a moment before finally speaking, his voice filled with determination: "We can give up our lives, but for the future of our clan, we must bring the inheritance back!"

"But they are too strong, we are no match for them."

The deity said with distress.

He hadn't even considered Luo Shen's proposal. Cooperation? The four top clans had destroyed their clans, occupied their homes, and turned them into homeless wanderers. Now they wanted to seize the treasure that should have belonged to them.

He couldn't swallow this insult!

The clan elders naturally understood the thoughts of the God Lord and the several powerful kings.

He sighed inwardly.

The hatred of the clansmen towards the four top clans has reached its peak. It is impossible to persuade them to let go of their hatred. Not to mention anything else, they themselves cannot let go.

But now, without cooperating with humans, it's simply impossible to obtain the inherited secret techniques.

"It seems I'm the only one who can handle this."

Inside the circular passage.

Luo Shen was frowning as he looked around.

He had been waiting for a while. If the other party wanted to cooperate, there would be plenty of time for them to come from any direction. But so far, not a single alien expert had appeared.

"Are they scared and too afraid to come out?"

Luo Shen muttered to himself.

Yan Na and the three demon kings stood quietly to the side, without saying a word.

In fact, when Yan Na used the second level of the Ice Heart Decree secret technique and Luo Shen used the Mind's Eye Blade, these three demon kings were already sitting ducks in their cages. Yan Na didn't even have to spend much effort to plant the soul mark of enslavement on these three.

of course.

Even for a typical peak soul master, controlling a King-level expert is no easy task. After all, every King-level expert has gone through numerous life-and-death trials to reach where they are today, and each of them possesses an incredibly resolute character.

However, Yan Na's own abilities are a mystery, and coupled with Luo Shen's cunning, they were left in a state of confusion and unconsciousness.

That's why they succeeded in one fell swoop.

The feigned battle earlier was a charade put on by Luo Shen to lure out the possible native inhabitants of the Flame Sacrifice Continent. Burning his immortal divine power to fight was just to make the act more realistic.

Even so, no alien race appeared.

This made Luo Shen doubt his own judgment.

In the original story, there were some indigenous people who managed to escape the calamity inside the sacrificial tower. After all, with tens of thousands of sacrificial towers, it's impossible that only one group managed to escape; there must have been similar cases in the other sacrificial towers as well.

But whether all life within the sacrificial tower they were in would perish is also an unknown.

"If there are no native inhabitants, then I can only ask Luo Feng's Demon Slayer Clan clone for help, to see if I can use the clone's mimicry ability to deceive the Tower of Trials' intelligence."

Luo Shen frowned and thought to himself.

Actually, he didn't just realize this now; he had already thought of Luo Feng's Demon Slayer Clan clone when he discovered the sacrificial tower.

However, he did indeed want to trick a group of powerful demons.

Second.

Whether the Demon Slayer Clan's clones are useful remains to be seen. After all, while the Demon Slayer Clan's clones are powerful, they are not omnipotent. There are still many races in the universe that have ways to counter this special ability.

Furthermore, he also wanted to see if there were any indigenous people inside the sacrificial tower.

If he had any, he would have liked to capture them all at once.

Luo Shenke showed no sympathy for the destruction of their race. After all, he was a member of the human race, and his teacher was a high-ranking human. His bond with the human race was already very deep, and it would be quite difficult for him to break away from the human race.

If there is even the slightest possibility that the other party will become the strongest being in the universe in the future, the first thing they might do is target the human race.

Luo Shen sympathizes with them now, but in the future, they might all turn into sharp blades that stab him.

He wouldn't do something so foolish.

Besides, even if he were willing to sympathize, it's questionable whether the other party would appreciate it.

"It seems your judgment was wrong." Yan Na smiled and glanced around. The passageway was clearly visible, with no sign of any alien race.

"Perhaps these alien races are a bit stupid; not a single one escaped alive."

Luo Shen shook his head.

rustling --

"Humans, speaking ill of others behind their backs will bring retribution," an old voice rang out.

Luo Shen was taken aback and looked in the direction of the sound.

The figure was a powerful, immortal alien deity clad in dark green armor and possessing eight arms. He emanated waves of divine power, and almost as soon as he finished speaking, he was already standing before Luo Shen.

"Native inhabitants of the Flame Sacrifice Continent, you've finally shown yourself!"

A glint of light flashed in Luo Shen's eyes.

The elder raised an eyebrow: "You knew of my existence all along? No, impossible. The sacrificial tower possesses the ability to block divine detection; even your cosmic venerables cannot detect it. You're bluffing me!"

Luo Shen laughed heartily and didn't say much more on the topic.

In any case, they've already agreed to come out, so the next step is to discuss cooperation.

"Since you're willing to come out, you must have decided to cooperate with us, right?" Luo Shen looked at the clan elder. Coming out alone, he must be like Qiu Chika in the original story, coming out with a death wish.

However, he already knew the function of the talisman and the existence of another treasure room and inheritance room, so how could he fall for the trap so easily?

Of course, now is not the time to expose them.

At least.

He wouldn't make a move until they led him to the location of the real treasure room.

"Human, what do you mean by cooperation?"

The clan elder looked at Luo Shen.

He had already realized that Luo Shen, the human, was clearly the leader of this group. The three demon kings had somehow fallen for their trap, and now their gazes toward Yan Na were filled with nothing but endless fanaticism.

They were clearly enslaved by the other party.

"I know that there are two treasures in your sacrificial tower. One is a false treasure that can be opened without any conditions, and the other is the real treasure that requires a token to open."

Luo Shen smiled and said, "As long as you take me to that treasure room, I will return these six tokens to their rightful owner, how about it?"

The clan elder glanced at Luo Shen.

Clearly, he hadn't expected Luo Shen to agree to return the token so easily, but the other party's conditions were quite excessive. It was one thing to destroy their tribe back then, but now they wanted to seize their treasure!

But now that we're under someone else's roof, we have no choice but to bow our heads.

How can I believe you?

The clan elder looked at Luo Shen and said, "Unless you return one of the tokens to me now, it will be difficult for us to reach a deal."

Luo Shen smiled.

"So you'll hand it over to you, then have complete control of this altar, lure us into the treasure room, and give your people a chance to take the secret techniques from the inheritance chamber?" Luo Shen thought to himself, "Don't even think about it. Once you find the location, your usefulness will be completely gone!"

Although he was thinking about it, Luo Shen still tried to bargain on the surface.

In short, the principle is simple: you can't just give the token to the other party so easily.
