Swallowing the Stars: The Wind Sword Master.

Chapter 278 Suppressing the Venerable One

"A Venerable who has only recently broken through to the next level dares to come looking for me!"

Ning Ze floated in the Weak Water, his light and shadow shifting. Stars twinkled in his eyes as he looked at Venerable Kong Lin, his heart burning with battle intent.

"I have annihilated an invincible king, but I have never killed a Venerable!"

"Today, I will use your blood to consecrate my sword!"

"boom!"

Ning Ze's divine body suddenly erupted with 60 times the power of a peak world lord, his figure soaring into the sky like a sharp sword, and soon transformed into a stream of light rushing towards Venerable Kong Lin!

"Windless Style!"

laugh!

A beam of light burst forth from the heavy treasure sword in his hand, shooting skyward and pointing towards Venerable Konglin in the sky.

The laws of space surged, like waves crashing against the divine sword in Ning Ze's hand. In the hazy distance, these laws intertwined, emerging from a thin, almost imperceptible gray thread, and in the blink of an eye, they covered the entire sword.

The moment this secret technique was formed, a gray sword shadow appeared on Ning Ze's longsword at some unknown time. The heavy, desolate, and ancient aura spread out, making people tremble.

Venerable Konglin was slightly bewildered. A chill suddenly ran through him, and a thought flashed through his mind: What kind of secret technique is this? Why can't he, as a Venerable, understand it?

Rumble!

In the blink of an eye, Ning Ze's longsword collided with the terrifying giant claw that was one kilometer in diameter.

puff!

With a strange sound, the Weak Water, which had remained unchanged for countless years without a ripple, suddenly began to splash.

A colossal creature, ten kilometers in size, burst out of the water with a whoosh. Grayish-white divine light raged across its body, and the terrifying laws even annihilated the weak water droplets it brought with it.

Venerable Konglin was completely bewildered. He was perfectly fine when he used the secret technique, and in the blink of an eye, he should have crushed this immortal being, but instead, it was blasted out of the Weak Water!

hum!

The space trembled violently, and in the distance, the space that had been rippling was instantly smoothed out!

Ning Ze has sealed off the space in this area!

King Rift and King Destiny were completely stunned. Yes, there were humans who could fight against Venerables with their immortal bodies, but at most they could only match them.

Those who have just broken through to the Venerable Realm will hide away to cultivate in seclusion, transforming into a time body or a space body, and then cultivating another superior law to greatly increase their power.

With improved understanding of the laws and higher levels of secret techniques, it means that even the difficult Divine Body Amplification Secret Technique can be learned. In addition, with the authority granted by the clan, one can purchase certain treasures to improve the genetic level, and may even be bestowed with a treasure!

Those who can appear are at least mid-level Venerables, with basic strength a hundred times higher, and their divine body amplitude and genetic level can be increased by more than 100 times.

With its powerful secret techniques, high amplitude, strong foundation, and treasures, even an invincible king would have to run away. Someone like the True King could only save his life. In a real fight, with such a huge gap, how could he possibly win?

But what they saw now was that a mid-level Venerable had been blasted away by a King-level expert!

If you can blast someone away, it means you still have the advantage in combat power. In this situation, not only can you not escape, but under certain circumstances, you can even kill them!

King Rift was completely stunned. King Fate Whirl might not know yet, but he knew that this Sword Soul King was actually just a Realm Lord!

It's one thing for the Realm Lord to be the main force in adventuring alongside these super strong individuals who are close to becoming invincible kings, but why did he end up fighting with the Venerable One?

"Sky-Splitter King! Stop standing there, let's go! Sword Soul King has the advantage!" Life Whirl King urged.

The Sky-Splitter King grinned, unable to contain himself. What? The Sword Soul King had the advantage? That was a Realm Lord! A Realm Lord!

Even compared to a peak-level King-level Realm Lord, they are 10 times weaker!

Even a king who is invincible would have to run away if he were a hundred times weaker, but this world lord's basic strength is ten million times weaker, yet he can still fight!

"Sword Soul King! We'll go find you some help!" Seeing that Ning Ze could hold him off, the Life Whirl King didn't insist on keeping him any longer. He was still far from being strong enough, so he could only go back and call for reinforcements.

"Okay! Leave quickly!"

"I used all my strength!"

Ning Ze shouted in that direction, his eyes, as bright as stars, already seeing the strangeness in Venerable Kong Lin.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

"I was actually defeated by an Immortal!"

Venerable Konglin felt that his self-esteem had been trampled on, and his anger was uncontrollable.

Back when he was at the peak of his kingship, he would have avoided such a super strong person!

As a peak-level King, he is a figure of considerable stature in the universe. However, there are always stronger individuals among the strong. The Immortal Realm and the peak of the King level are the limits, but combat power is not the limit.

Even a single glance at an extremely powerful being could be life-threatening!

Now he has broken through, having cultivated in seclusion for hundreds of millions of epochs, which is tens of millions of times the lifespan of a realm lord! He has almost fully comprehended the laws of time, and his power has increased by more than ten thousand times.

At this point, even if the immortals showed him no respect, they should at least have fled.

But now, he has been defeated by a super strong expert among those who have been granted the title of King.

This was a disgrace to him!

"Unforgivable!"

"Unforgivable!"

The deep eyes of Venerable Konglin were instantly ignited by the rage in his heart. With a loud boom, his divine power burned, and surging divine flames wrapped around his divine body, releasing boundless power to the surroundings.

His deep, vertical eyes became even more hollow and profound, ending in a dark red color, like hellfire.

This is not the end.

It raised its forepaws, which were a kilometer in diameter, and instantly, flame totems rose up, with endless divine light appearing and disappearing. Then, two sharp claws that shimmered with a cold white divine light appeared. The claws burning with flames suddenly surged in power, and the white flames and bright red flames intertwined. The terrifying power made the space tremble.

"die!"

Rumble!

Amidst the raging flames, a claw-like shadow over ten kilometers long descended from the sky. Compared to it, Ning Ze's divine power was like a small flame swaying in the wind, seemingly about to be extinguished in the next second.

"Venerable One, that should also be a low-grade supreme treasure. Even activating the first layer of its secret runes is incredibly powerful."

"We can't hide any longer!"

Ning Ze did a quick calculation in his mind: the Venerable One had ten million times the power of a peak World Lord, and with the Divine Power Amplification of 10 and Gene Level of 10, he had a billion times the power of a peak World Lord. In addition, the Venerable One also possessed a primary-grade treasure.

His divine body is only 6000 times stronger, and his divine power amplitude is 100, which is only 60. The other party is a thousand times stronger than him!

If he were to defend, he could certainly withstand the attack, but if he wanted to attack, he would have to abandon his defense.

This is his weakness: his base strength is too low. If the power he unleashes is too terrifying, the aftershocks of his own attack could kill him. In this situation, he can only use a treasure to reduce the power!

Even if the Venerable One's attack is reduced a hundredfold by a supreme treasure, it is still an attack that is invincible even for a King. He cannot be attacked.

After the block, only the aftershock remained. After being mitigated by the damage reduction from the Cloud Vine, it could no longer cause him any harm.

Others' treasures are used to reduce the amount of divine power that is annihilated.

He was truly trying to save his life. His inner world was stable enough, but if his body shattered, it would be a serious injury, and he couldn't recover instantly like an immortal.

"law enforcement!"

Ning Ze glared ahead, then clenched his fist in the air, directly shaving off the power boosted by the opponent's burning divine power. Immediately afterwards, the heavy armor on his body gradually disappeared, and a set of blue armor covered with sword marks appeared on his body. A dazzling divine sword also appeared in his hand.

With the two supreme treasures on his body, his originally very weak aura suddenly increased significantly.

"Windless Style!"

A hazy light entwined around the sword shadows, a terrifying secret technique was taking shape, and Ning Ze's aura continued to rise.

At this moment, he is the Venerable One!

"die!"

A series of unexpected events caught Venerable Konglin completely off guard. This battle, which he had cultivated for hundreds of millions of epochs, was far from what he had imagined!

His eyes widened as he stared at the sword in Ning Ze's hand, which exuded the aura of a high-grade treasure without reservation. Even the aura of the armor he wore surpassed that of his claws. A King-level Immortal not only possessed a set of heavy treasures but also two supreme treasures!

As for the sword shadows that filled the sky, he still didn't understand them, and at this moment he even began to doubt his own cultivation.

Doubting one's own status as a venerable one!

Inverted!

That's completely the opposite!

"boom!"

A hazy, gray sword shadow pierced through the claw shadow in the sky, followed by a spear that rammed directly into Venerable Konglin's divine body. The Venerable's divine body was already pure enough that it did not shatter like a king due to this terrifying damage, but the divine power that should have been annihilated was still considerable.

"Aww~"

With a cry of pain, Venerable Konglin was unable to be thrown away. He looked at the human before him with fear in his eyes and said in disbelief, "One percent of my divine power has been annihilated! My precious armor is barely reaching its limit!"

Clad in dark blue battle armor and pristine white boots, wielding a dazzling seven-colored divine sword, he unleashed a slash without moving, his eyes, like the starry sky of the universe, seemed to be those of a god overlooking the cosmos, his indifferent gaze filling the man with immense fear.

He was merely a prince, just a prince!

When did human kings become able to harm mid-level Venerables like them?

In the distance, before King Rift and King Whirlwind had even teleported a few times, and were four light-years apart, they saw the endless, majestic golden light pierce the clouds and rush towards the top of the secret realm.

At this moment, they felt much calmer, because the sword light was very familiar; it was the signature sword move of the Sword Soul King.

Although the colors of the secret technique have changed, its characteristic of soaring through the air and flying infinitely far remains unchanged, just as this sword move has no limits and can even attack from a distance.

As long as the sword light has not been extinguished, it means that Ning Ze's secret attack still has the advantage. Only the strong can unleash their attacks so freely!

"Sword Soul King!" King Mingxuan stared intently in the direction they had just left, his heart trembling. Among humanity, a King had finally emerged who could fight against a Venerable!

It was a thrilling pride, a milestone for their human race! They, as humans, could achieve feats usually reserved for extraordinary life forms! They truly deserve to be called the pinnacle of races! Their human race is full of miracles!

The Sky-Splitter King thought the same thing, but the more proud he was, the more panicked he felt inside!

powerful!

Unparalleled strength!

Unprecedentedly strong!

Incredibly strong!

but!

This is a realm lord!

He was unfazed even in the face of death, but now he's panicked.

For Ningze.

He dared not allow Ning Ze to fall even slightly. His previous desire to stay behind to cover their retreat was not only out of their brotherhood, but also out of a sense of responsibility. Ning Ze was the most incredible genius of his human race, how could he be allowed to fall?

Now, his consciousness is frantically trying to contact the Venerable Ones he knows in the virtual universe, and trying to contact Venerable Jingran, Ningze's teacher, as much as possible.

Venerable One, apart from Ning Ze, no other king can resist you.

Now it has appeared.

Even if it's just a King being able to defeat a Venerable, that's already quite an achievement. Those alien races definitely won't just stand by and watch; an even more terrifying assassination attempt is on the horizon!

If we want to rescue Ning Ze, the only way is to contact those powerful Venerables.

Fortunately, he suddenly succeeded in finding information about Venerable Jingran and successfully initiated a virtual universe communication.

hum~

In the virtual universe.

In a flash, he appeared in the majestic temple, where a great being with a cold face and an ancient, weathered air sat cross-legged on the throne.

"King of the Sky Rift greets Your Excellency!"

He bowed in greeting.

Venerable Jingran's gaze sharpened. "You sent me an email saying that you and your companions risked your lives to kill the Invincible Dragon King in the Aochen Secret Realm, and then encountered you again at the core of the realm? Venerable Konglin?"

King Rift spoke of what he knew, "Yes, we are about to leave the secret realm. Venerable Konglin has taken out his supreme treasure, the Claw. In the previous battle between Ning Ze and Venerable Konglin, he had the upper hand."

"It is extremely difficult for our human race to defeat a Venerable One at the Immortal Realm. I suspect that other powerful figures from the Demon Race will descend upon us in this battle, so I have come to report to you, sir!"

Venerable Jingran's eyelids twitched involuntarily, making it difficult for him to maintain his expression. It was one thing for his disciple to kill a Demon King Invincible, but to defeat a Venerable?

I hadn't heard any news of Ning Ze's breakthrough. How did he manage to defeat him? It's only been a few thousand years since we last met. Ning Ze's true form had just escaped danger. How could he defeat a Venerable?

What exactly happened?

This ancient being, whose lifespan was measured in trillions of epochs, felt guilty, wondering if he had been too negligent towards this disciple.

They disappeared in the blink of an eye, and yet they caused such a commotion?

"I am aware of this matter and have already set off. You may leave now."

"Yes." King Rift bowed and took his leave.

Venerable Jingran frowned deeply, unable to understand no matter how hard he tried. It wasn't that he hadn't obtained a supreme treasure before when he was invincible, but how many levels of the secret runes on the supreme treasure could be activated? At most, he could only activate the second level.

Even if Ning Ze obtains the treasure and uses the secret runes on it, how do you calculate the difference between his basic power and that of a Venerable?

This is still the Immortal Realm, but the problem is that he just checked the virtual universe and found that Ning Ze is still a Realm Lord!

Everyone says you shouldn't keep a close eye on your disciples; true masters don't need constant supervision, just let them work hard on their own. But in his case, the situation has changed. He's afraid that if he doesn't keep an eye on them, his disciple might surpass him in the blink of an eye.

In the tranquil starry sky.

The stars twinkled brilliantly.

It was originally a calm and peaceful place.

Sudden.

A ripple appeared in the space, and the figure of Venerable Jingran slowly emerged from the space.

He stood suspended in mid-air, about to make a move, when an accident occurred.

Space began to pulsate again, and spatial troughs had formed, which he could not stop.

Venerable Jingran frowned slightly. Sure enough, King Liekong's worries were not without reason. He knew without even asking that the Venerable of the Demon Race had arrived!

He had already sensed the powerful divine energy fluctuations from the distant starry sky.

hum!

An invisible wave spread out, and in the instant that blurry shadow solidified, the spatial blockade was completed.
