Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger.

Chapter 190 The Mysterious Tomb King! His Identity Exposed!

Are you alright?

Yan Na had retreated back to Luo Shen's side, looking at him with concern, after all, he had just been hit by the Skeleton Needle King who burned the immortal divine body.

Luo Shen exhaled a deep breath and shook his head: "I'm fine."

Their gazes fell upon the two sides engaged in a terrifying battle ahead. One was the Skull Needle King, and the other was the Killing King, who had also burned his immortal divine body. As a member of the demon royal family, his strength was not to be underestimated.

Both sides had reached the limit of their power as kings, and both had burned their immortal divine bodies.

It can be said that they met a worthy opponent and were evenly matched.

They fought to a standstill!

Unfortunately, they weren't the only ones involved in this battle. With the help of the Southern Punishment King, even though the Killing King was incredibly powerful, he was ultimately no match for the combined might of the two super-kings and was forced to retreat in defeat.

"Let's join in! We've already made a move; we can't keep getting bullied like this!"

Luo Shen charged forward with his skull-shaped sword in hand, and Yan Nara, who was standing to the side, couldn't stop him. Helpless, she followed him.

Nan Cheng remained hidden in the Zerg hive, refusing to reveal himself, so Luo Shen couldn't pinpoint his location. However, the Skeleton King was outside, which gave Luo Shen the perfect opportunity to make his move.

Yan Na continued to pester Nan Cheng.

With Yan Na watching over them, the Zerg Queen Nan Cheng was ultimately unable to spare any energy to help the Skeleton Needle King. Meanwhile, the Killing King and the Skeleton Needle King were in a relatively balanced state, with the Skeleton Needle King steadily suppressing the Killing King.

Previously, the two sides were indeed evenly matched, but now that Skull Needle King has the help of Nan Cheng, the situation between the two sides has changed somewhat.

But with Luo Shen joining the fray, the balance of power in the battle began to tilt towards their side little by little.

Although Luo Shen still couldn't directly intervene in the battle, since both sides had burned their immortal divine bodies and either of them could easily defeat Luo Shen at this moment, he couldn't stop Luo Shen from launching sneak attacks.

If it were just a sneak attack, that would be fine.

Given the difference in strength, his sneak attack could at most cause the Skull Needle King a little trouble.

But Luo Shen used his cunning and ruthless methods.

This secret technique of willpower, after years of cultivation, is now definitely the strongest secret technique below the Universe Venerable. Anyone whose willpower is lower than that of a King-level Invincible willpower will instantly fall into a coma. The Killing King and the Sharp-Horned King's group were all defeated by this one strike.

Most importantly, the Heart's Eye Sharpness is formless and invisible.

Skull Needle King continued to suppress Killing King. Despite being a demon king of similar great fame, Skull Needle King managed to pin Killing King down and beat him mercilessly with his domineering iron fists.

It was clear that the King of Slaughter had nowhere to retreat and was about to be defeated.

As a result, the Skull Needle King felt as if he had been pricked by a needle in his brain. He couldn't help but clutch his head and howl in pain. His body instantly retreated tens of thousands of miles, returning to Nan Cheng's side. He looked at Luo Shen and the other person with lingering fear.

He had no idea what had happened before, only that a terrifying shock rushed straight into his mind.

Luo Shen was also somewhat bewildered.

What's going on? This Skull Needle King can even withstand the Mind's Eye Blade. Has his will reached the level of a Universe Venerable? Otherwise, how could the Skull Needle King withstand the Mind's Eye Blade, which even the Killing King couldn't withstand?

Luo Shen didn't quite understand.

If the Skull Needle King's will has reached the level of a Cosmic Venerable, how could he be enslaved by Nan Cheng? Could there be some unknown circumstances outside the world?

"This is troublesome."

They thought the Mind's Eye Blade would succeed in one fell swoop, but now, the Skull Needle King is still guarding Nan Cheng's side. Although the two sides fought fiercely, only some immortal insectoid warriors fell, and they gained nothing at all.

Moreover, if the fight continues, Luo Shen is not confident that he can defeat Nan Cheng with the Mind's Eye Blade under the protection of the Skull Needle King.

"If only the Mind's Eye Blade could be broken through."

Luo Shen sighed inwardly.

Once unleashed, the Mind's Eye Blade, a power level comparable to that of a Cosmic Venerable, is so powerful that even the will of a Cosmic Venerable would find it difficult to withstand. Even if the Skull Needle King manages to avoid falling into a dazed state, he will still lose some of his combat power, greatly increasing their chances of winning.

Meanwhile, Nan Cheng and Skull Needle King on the other side also felt somewhat troubled.

In the past, Skull Needle King alone would have been enough to deal with those opponents. What's more, this time even Nan Cheng joined the fight. Not only did they fail to take down Luo Shen and his group, but they even damaged the outer shell of his Zerg hive.

If the fight continues, the outcome is uncertain.

Just as both sides were racking their brains about whether the battle should continue, a strange spatial fluctuation suddenly came, immediately attracting their attention.

"Spatial fluctuations...it's a teleportation channel!"

"Someone else is here!"

Both sides' gazes followed the spatial fluctuations, looking towards the direction of the teleportation channel. Almost immediately, they were drawn to the lone demon race expert carrying a huge blood-red battle blade on his back.

The opponent had a head resembling a unicorn wolf, with a blue stripe and a blood stripe on its face, and a tail with nine scales.

Stepping on the void.

That gaze seemed to make the space around them tremble.

"The King of the Mysterious Tomb!"

Luo Shen suddenly felt his throat was a little dry and subconsciously swallowed.

Previously, Nan Cheng and Skull Needle King, who had been so imposing, now seemed somewhat timid, as if they dared not contend with him. Of course, Luo Shen knew that this fear of not contending was just his own illusion.

In reality, it remains uncertain whether Nan Cheng or Xuanmu Wang is stronger.

On the battlefield outside the domain, each faction actually has several incredibly terrifying super kings. Their strength is already close to invincible, and they dominate their respective factions. Even the strongest kings are no match for them.

Nan Cheng is one, and the Xuanmu King in front of us is another.

Nan Cheng relied more on the strength of its immortal insectoid legions to dominate the battlefield, while Xuanmu King relied on his own strength and the "Blood Tomb Blade" to slaughter endlessly and establish a great reputation on the outer battlefield.

In a completely open region like the Flame Sacrifice Continent, it's uncertain whether Nan Cheng or Xuan Mu Wang is stronger.

After all, the activity area in this forbidden space is limited, and the Immortal Zerg Legion cannot freely form battle formations. Naturally, some famous combo attacks in the universe cannot be used. This is also why Luo Shen's side had a slight advantage before the Skull Needle King unleashed his power.

"The Mysterious Tomb King comes from the Qiwang Clan and is a super king belonging to the demon race camp."

Luo Shen recalled the other party's information in his mind.

This Xuanmu King was naturally arrogant and offended some powerful figures during his growth. He was eventually forced to flee to the outer battlefield, where he began a killing career. Relying on the resources he gained from killing, he stepped over the corpses of countless alien powerhouses and eventually grew to the point where he was almost invincible as a king.

In some novels, this is almost the template for the protagonist's growth.

It should be noted that the Qiwang clan, to which the Xuanmu King belongs, is just an ordinary clan that barely exists under the protection of the demon race. It is somewhat similar to the Golden Horn clan that appeared in the original work. Both of them once had a super leader, but after the leader fell, they were unable to occupy their original territory and could only submit to the demon race in exchange for protection.

Such weak races cannot provide many resources.

It's impossible for someone like Luo Shen to have a powerful treasure bestowed upon them by the Lord of the Universe to protect them when they are about to step into the battlefield beyond the realm.

They grew up entirely on their own.

It should be understood that those who can reach the "Invincible King" level at the Immortal stage, comparable to ordinary Universe Venerables, are extremely rare among the billions of races in the entire universe, far fewer than the number of Universe Venerables.

The strength of the Xuanmu King is already close to that of an invincible king. If he improves in all aspects, he will be able to reach this level.

It's easy to imagine just how strong the Xuanmu King's talent is.

However, the appearance of the Xuanmu King is giving Luo Shen a headache.

the reason is simple.

Because the opponent was from the demon race, and the Killing King in front of him, who was burning with immortal divine power, was also from the demon race, the brain of a king-level expert could naturally see the situation at a glance.

Considering the fact that the King of Killing was enslaved, Luo Shen didn't think the King of Xuanmu would choose to help him.

The fact that he could remain neutral was already a great act of mercy from the Xuanmu King.

"King of the Mysterious Tomb, let's join forces and deal with these two humans; they possess a rare treasure!"

Skull Needle King naturally knew the principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. He immediately tried to win over Xuanmu King by claiming that Luo Shen possessed a rare treasure. Given their combined strength, once they joined forces, unless one was an invincible king, there was no way they could escape!

If Luo Shen had that kind of strength, they wouldn't have lasted until the appearance of the Xuanmu King.

"I want 70% of his wealth! As for the rare treasures, we'll see how you do it!" Although the Xuanmu King was arrogant, he knew the special nature of the rare treasures and did not refuse the proposal from the Skull Needle King, or Nan Cheng behind him.

After all, they were willing to lead their respective factions' strongest warriors into a great battle against other parties just to suppress a star.

Now, knowing that Luo Shen possesses a rare treasure, why is he unwilling to take action because of his arrogance?

does not exist at all!

Upon hearing this, Luo Shen's expression turned solemn, his entire body tensed, and his gaze was fixed on the Xuanmu King and the insectoid mother nest.

The Killing King and Yan Na stood on either side of Luo Shen.

"It seems this battle won't end so easily," Luo Shen transmitted telepathically. "If all else fails, use the Ice Heart Token to freeze them, and then we'll search for a passage to the next forbidden space to leave."

Yan Na replied telepathically, using the same divine power, "Why aren't you using your secret technique?"

Previously, they had swept away the Killing King and the Sharp-Horned King by using the combination of the Ice Heart Token and the Mind's Eye Blade. Now, to deal with the Xuanmu King and the others, Yan Na naturally wanted to use the same trick again. The combination of Nan Cheng and the Xuanmu King was extremely valuable.

Luo Shen replied with a wry smile, "They are too strong. It has an effect, but it can't completely dazzle them like before."

Yan Na wanted to say something more.

But Xuanmu King and Nancheng no longer wanted to give them a chance.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Almost instantly, the Xuanmu King and the Skeleton Needle King unleashed their strongest power and pounced on Luo Shen and Yan Na. Of course, Luo Shen immediately realized that they were targeting him.

Although the Xuanmu King did not burn his immortal divine power, the pressure he brought to Luo Shen was no less than that of the Skeleton Needle King, who had burned his immortal divine body.

"Those two really know how to kick someone when they're down."

Luo Shen smiled bitterly to himself.

It's impossible to defeat the Skull Needle King. After all, the opponent has already burned his immortal divine body, and in terms of raw strength, he can completely crush Luo Shen. Unless Luo Shen also breaks through to immortality now, he simply cannot stop the opponent.

Dealing with Nan Cheng is equally unfeasible, given that the opponent still has so many Immortal Zerg warriors under his command, making it unlikely that he can break through the defenses.

The one left is naturally the King of the Mysterious Tomb.

Although the pressure from the other party was immense, they did not burn their divine bodies. Luo Shen assessed his own strength and felt that he should be able to hold out for a while. So he used his divine power to send a telepathic message to Yan Na and the Killing King, instructing them to deal with Nan Cheng and the Skull Needle King respectively.

He himself was facing off against the King of Xuanmu.

Yan Na hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

She wanted to say that she could deal with the Xuanmu King, but seeing that Luo Shen had already rushed up and was fighting with the Xuanmu King, while Nan Cheng on the other side was already starting to make moves, preparing to take the opportunity to attack Luo Shen and the Killing King.

resignedly.

The only option was to rush over and continue to suppress the opponent, preventing Nan Cheng from interfering.

A person's name, a tree's shadow.

The Xuanmu King's reputation was well-deserved; his swordsmanship was incredibly strong, and his divine body's amplitude had reached a hundred times the limit of the universe, even surpassing Luo Shen's.

In terms of divine body, although the level of life gene is not thousands of times that of Luo Shen, the divine power itself is of a higher level than the power of the world.

It is also under suppression.

As for the Skull Battle Blade, it is indeed superior in quality, but the Blood Tomb Blade is also a treasure, and its power is not much weaker than that of the Skull Battle Blade.

Taking into account various factors, Luo Shen was completely suppressed in the battle.

They were almost completely powerless to fight back!

Luo Shen had considered summoning helpers, after all, although the Sharp-Horned King was only at the peak of the King-level, three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang, and they could at least share some of the damage. At worst, burning his immortal divine body could help him hold on for a while.

But Nan Cheng had been keeping an eye on this place for a while.

Upon seeing Luo Shen summon Sharp-Horned King and other helpers, he immediately ordered his enslaved King-level powerhouses to go over and do his best to maintain the one-on-one situation between Luo Shen and Xuanmu King.

Clang!

Knife after knife!

Xuanmu King's Blood Tomb Blade seemed tireless, slicing through the void with streaks of crimson light as it heavily struck Luo Shen's Skull Battle Blade. It was only because the Skull Battle Blade was of good quality and durable that it was able to withstand the impact; otherwise, if it were a battle blade made of ordinary G-grade metal, it would probably have been cleaved in two long ago.

I realized I was being driven into a dead end.

Left with no other choice, Luo Shen could only deploy the Wu-Slaying Wings, using this disguised form to quickly dodge the Xuanmu King's attack.

"Huh!?"

The King of Xuanmu let out a soft exclamation.

The Skull Needle King, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, exclaimed in surprise, "Wings, could he be the human Luo Shen?"

These words were spoken.

It was like a thunderbolt from the blue, instantly striking everyone's hearts.

Luo Shen, the human realm's ruler, caused quite a stir in the Seventh Battlefield's Shattered Rock area. Many alien kings were drawn by his presence and stayed in the Shattered Rock area for a long time, but they couldn't find him no matter how hard they searched.

I thought Luo Shen had already left the battlefield outside the region.

Who would have thought that he would change his identity and become the Blade King, and come to the Star Tower!
