Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger.

Chapter 186 The Hunt!

"happy!"

"That was truly exhilarating. That King Chenhun thought we were easy to bully, but in the end, we joined forces and beat him so badly that he ran away with his tail between his legs."

"It's a pity we couldn't capture King Chenhun. If he hadn't fallen into that forbidden space beforehand and known about the other exit, the three of us working together might have actually been able to kill him."

The three immortal powerhouses from the demon race faction talked without restraint.

These three powerful figures, led by the demon king in the center, the Sharp-Horned King, are members of the Long-Horned Clan, a major branch of the demon alliance. This clan is known for having several differently colored horns on their heads. The Sharp-Horned King himself has reached the peak of the king level, and with his clan's unique horns, he can even contend with the strongest kings in life-or-death battles. He is considered a relatively famous powerhouse in the demon camp.

The two people next to them are alien races belonging to the demon race camp, namely 'King Nonghe' and 'King Dingbo'.

These two are both quite strong. Although they are slightly inferior to the Sharp-Horned King, they have still reached the peak of the King-level realm. When the three of them team up, their strength should not be underestimated. Even ordinary King-level experts would not fight them unless absolutely necessary.

As for the Chenhun King they mentioned.

They belong to the human camp, specifically the "Snake People" from a major branch of the human race.

King Chenhun's strength had also reached the peak of the King-level realm, but he was rather arrogant and always acted alone. It was quite normal for him to be defeated by the three of them working together. Judging from their tone, King Chenhun probably sensed that things were not going well and burned his immortal divine body to escape through another forbidden space passage.

"Three peak-level kings, that's not bad."

Luo Shen thought to himself.

"Watch out, it's a human!"

"It's the human Blade King! Wasn't he on the Flame Sacrifice Continent? Why is he suddenly in the Star Tower!"

"Who's next to him? Be careful, anyone who can venture into the Star Tower with Blade King is definitely not someone to be trifled with."

As soon as Luo Shen teleported in, he immediately aroused the vigilance of the three peak-level King-rank experts. They reminded each other through divine power transmission. Fortunately, Luo Shen had made a name for himself on the Flame Sacrifice Continent. After all, there were not many King-rank experts among the human race in this extraterrestrial battlefield, and each one that appeared would attract considerable attention.

The powerful members of the four top clans, in particular, will be more careful to avoid falling into the opponent's trap.

As for Nanga King Yan Na.

Although he and Luo Shen had made a name for themselves in the Shattered Rock area, everyone's attention was mainly focused on Luo Shen, and he quickly disappeared without a trace, so he didn't have much fame in this extraterritorial battlefield.

So much so that none of the three powerful members of the demon race present knew anything about her.

The saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle." In the battlefields beyond the borders, a strong person may make a great name for themselves, but those who can truly live a long life are those who are strong, have endless tricks up their sleeves, and whose secrets cannot be easily figured out.

Just like the Seven Swords King.

Although the Seven Sword King was renowned in the outer battlefield and was known as one of the top kings of the human race, even among the other super kings in the outer battlefield, none of them knew what his true trump card was.

Even the strongest person has their weaknesses.

The three powerful figures from the demon race stopped in their tracks, but Luo Shen was not going to be polite. After all, besides wanting to compete with those super kings who were famous throughout the universe, his other purpose in coming to the Star Tower was to enslave some kings as a reserve force for Earth.

As the ruler of Earth, he naturally had to think about Earth's future rise.

However, he himself is still in the growth stage and cannot devote too much attention to Earth. As Earth grows, in addition to needing the support of the Virtual Universe Company, it also needs to cultivate its own powerful members.

A powerful expert who has been granted the title of King can provide significant assistance at least up to the Immortal level, saving Luo Shen a lot of trouble.

Luo Shen transmitted his voice to Yan Na using his divine power: "Make your move!"

Instantly, Yan Na unleashed divine power that sealed off the space, preventing any powerful individuals within the area from teleporting. She then took out the Ice Heart Token and instantly activated the second layer of the secret technique, unleashing an ice and snow seal!

This combo is so fast that even three peak-level Kings on the opposing side don't have time to react.

How could there possibly be time to react?

The divine power's ability to seal space was already nearing its limit. Once the space was sealed, the only way to escape this area was to fly, not to use teleportation. It was out of the question to think about escaping the area sealed by the divine power in a short time.

Furthermore, their lack of knowledge about Yan Na's methods prevented them from responding immediately.

After all, they couldn't have imagined it.

Everyone here is a powerful king, but Yan Na actually possesses a domain-level treasure. The value of such treasures is comparable to that of supreme treasures, and even universe venerables and universe overlords are quite envious of them.

"You can have the other two. I'll keep the horned demon king for myself; I'll use him for practice."

Almost instantly, Luo Shen rushed forward.

Battlefield separation.

With the help of the Ice Heart Token, Yan Na toyed with two peak-level King-level experts at will. Under the effect of the Ice Heart Token, they had no way to escape and could only be forced to fight Yan Na. However, with the Ice Heart Token in control, and Yan Na's strength being superior to theirs, these two peak-level King-level experts could only be powerless and furious, watching helplessly as Yan Na's whip fell on their bodies again and again, unable to escape.

On the other side, Luo Shen confronts Jianjiao Wang.

Before his body's amplitude increased, he already possessed the strength to fight against a peak-level King-level expert. Now, with his body's amplitude reaching its current limit, Luo Shen's strength has greatly improved, and he is now capable of facing a peak-level King-level expert without any fear.

Naturally, he would not fear the peak of a king's reign.

Even though this peak-level King-level expert came from the demon race and was a renowned expert among them.

"Damn it!"

Sharp-Horned King's eyesight was excellent, and with his years of combat experience, he was fully aware of the situation on the field. He knew very well that if he could not deal with Luo Shen in front of him as soon as possible, let alone fight, even escaping would be a difficult task.

Especially Yan Na.

Knowing that the location where the three of them appeared was a teleportation channel to another forbidden space, she immediately blocked the route to the channel, nipping their chance of escape in the bud.

"Clang!"

The battle blade clashed with the sharp claws in the Sharp-Horned King's hand.

Although the demon race also uses weapons, ordinary weapons cannot be as sturdy as their bodies. Therefore, the powerful demons on the outer battlefields almost always use their own bodies as weapons.

Its power should not be underestimated.

Although it wasn't the most famous horn-shaped creature among the Sharp-Horned Kings, its claws still contained terrifying power. With a single claw, it tore space into pieces, carrying the divine power of a peak-level King, seemingly about to tear Luo Shen into countless pieces.

But why would Luo Shen be afraid of the sharp-cornered king?

The silver blade in his hand gleamed as he wielded it, one strike after another, like the Milky Way suddenly descending from the sky, or the bright and unassailable moon in the night sky, exuding a majestic aura that completely suppressed the Sharp-Horned King.

Seeing that the situation was dire, the Sharp-Horned King had no choice but to burn his immortal divine power.

boom!!

His aura surged a hundredfold, a thousandfold, instantly surpassing his previous abilities. His speed was as fast as lightning, almost instantly traversing space and arriving in front of Luo Shen. The sharp claws in his hands carried a destructive aura as he delivered a heavy blow.

"Tear the sky apart!"

This is a secret technique that the Sharp-Horned King comprehended when he witnessed the tearing apart of a cosmic secret realm. It has faintly reached the level of the ultimate secret technique of a cosmic venerable. On the battlefield outside the domain, there are not many people who can withstand its claw attack.

But Luo Shen remained completely calm.

The sword in his hand was like a full moon in the sky, shining with silver light. He swung it one after another, like the surging tide, endlessly, so tightly that it was impossible for Luo Shen to break through his defense limit, no matter how powerful his claw attack was.

"This Blade King actually managed to withstand my Sky-Tearing Claw?"

King Sharphorn was greatly alarmed.

Although he was already aware of Luo Shen's reputation as the Blade King, he did not take Luo Shen seriously. After all, for a well-established King-level expert like himself, even if a newly promoted King-level expert was at the same peak, only a very few were truly his opponents.

Therefore, he never even considered using his top horn.

He thought that this Heaven-Rending Claw would be enough to tear apart Luo Shen's divine body and create favorable conditions for himself, but he never expected that Luo Shen would not even burn his divine body before intercepting his attack.

"Sharp-Horned King, you'll get a cut from me too!"

He could draw his bow like a full moon, gaze northwest, and shoot the heavenly wolf!

The battle blade shot out from its original position like a full moon bowstring. Luo Shen's figure was like a god or a demon, his eyes were sharp and filled with terrifying killing intent. His aura was bursting out to the limit as he locked onto the horned king, determined to cut it in two with a single strike!

With an unparalleled aura, the battle blade fell!

"How dare you, a mere human, be so insolent before me!" King Sharphorn was furious.

Having been blocked by Luo Shen's claw earlier, he was already burning with rage. Now, seeing that Luo Shen dared to retaliate, he was even more furious. The secret runes engraved on the horns on his head instantly shone, and almost in an instant, the Sharp Horn King had already used the Sharp Horn Secret Technique!

This is the signature move that made the Sharp-Horned King famous!

The power is overwhelming!

On the other side, Luo Shen unleashed a powerful strike, equally unstoppable.

Like Mars colliding with Earth.

The unparalleled energy shock instantly uprooted the surrounding trees, and the surrounding river water was blown backward, splashing across the entire forest and forming a giant circular crater with a diameter of tens of thousands of kilometers.

This is because the forbidden area has strong defenses, being hundreds or thousands of times more solid than the land outside.

Otherwise, this collision alone could have caused the shockwaves from the two to level the entire forest area of ​​the forbidden zone, leaving it barren.

The horns on the Sharp-Horned King's head truly lived up to its name, blocking Luo Shen's attack and preventing Luo Shen's skull sword from penetrating even half an inch. However, the intense pain from the top of his head made the Sharp-Horned King realize that Luo Shen's strength was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

"We can't keep fighting with him, otherwise, if this continues, something unexpected might really happen."

King Sharphorn pondered to himself.

Although the current situation seems to put his side at a slight disadvantage, both sides are still powerful kings, and the difference in strength they have revealed is not as great as imagined. At least the battle between the two sides is still in a restrained phase.

The Sharp-Horned King and the other two kings had not suffered any damage to their divine bodies. Faced with the overwhelming momentum of Luo Shen and his companion, they naturally had the intention to retreat.

He communicated with the other two kings through telepathic communication.

Then, taking advantage of another clash with Luo Shen's sword, Sharp-Horned King flew backward, adjusted his angle, and instantly unleashed his fastest speed, rushing straight towards Yan Na. He wanted to take this opportunity to force Yan Na back first, and then find the entrance to another teleportation channel with his two companions.

But the Sharp-Horned King didn't see it.

As he rushed toward Yan Na, Luo Shen's lips curled into a faint smile. Had he seen it, he would likely have become even more wary.

But no matter how vigilant they were, when the Sharp-Horned King abandoned Luo Shen and chose to cause trouble for Yan Na, the outcome of the battle was already decided. These three powerful kings would become another ally in Luo Shen's camp.

After all, Yan Na's Ice Heart Token is no joke.

Under the control of the Ice Heart Token, even the Killing King, a peak-level King-level expert, could not escape, let alone the three peak-level Kings, including the Sharp Horn King.

Then Luo Shen used his Mind-Bending Blade to knock out the three kings in one fell daze, thus creating the perfect opportunity for Yan Na to possess their bodies.

However, Yan Na did not directly possess the body, but instead chose to hand it over to her subordinate, the King of Slaughter.

The number of souls each powerful individual can enslave is limited.

Although Yan Na is different from ordinary King-level powerhouses, her soul strength is stronger, and enslaving ordinary King-level powerhouses is not too difficult for her, she is still always limited by the laws of the universe.

"Owner!"

All three of them, including the Sharp-Horned King, stared at the Killing King with fanatical eyes.

After being enslaved, these three kings naturally developed a deep respect for the King of Slaughter from the bottom of their souls. Even if they were asked to die right now, they would do so without hesitation.

Luo Shen nodded in satisfaction.

"Haha, three more generals have joined us, and my Mind's Eye Blade is only one step away from breaking through to the Venerable level."

Even for a soul control master at the peak of the King level, controlling a powerhouse of the same level is extremely difficult. This is why the Southern Punishment King is so famous, because he enslaved a powerhouse at the limit of the King level.

Reaching the pinnacle of power means being at the very top of the pyramid in the outer battlefield.

Even for a super-king like the Seven Sword Kings, who could easily defeat a king at the limit of his power, killing them would be extremely difficult, let alone enslaving their souls.

After all, under normal circumstances, a king-level expert who knows he is no match will choose to self-destruct to protect himself from being enslaved by his soul.

Those who self-destruct their divine bodies may be saved by the universe's sovereign in the future. However, once enslaved by a soul, even if they are resurrected in the future, they will still be the other party's soul slave, their lives tied to their master.

However, Luo Shen's Mind-Eye Knife is a secret technique at the level of willpower, and it has reached the level of being invincible at the King level. Even the True King Yan would find it difficult to withstand a single blow.

That's why such favorable conditions were created for possession.

"Next, I need to break through to the Supreme level with the Mind's Eye Blade as soon as possible, and try to enslave a few more Kings at their limit, preferably even those Super Kings as well." Thinking of the Southern Punishment King on the left and the Black Shaved King on the right, Luo Shen couldn't help but grin.

Yan Na, standing to the side, looked at him as if he were an idiot.
