Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 130 Stopped at the Sixth Floor
Qianwu is a generous and magnanimous person who has good relationships with almost all the human race's cosmic venerables. As long as it doesn't affect him, the Nine Swords Venerable doesn't mind helping him.

"Is such that!"

The shaman said:

"In this battle of geniuses, there's a young fellow from my universe. I plan to take him as my personal disciple, so I'd like to ask you for a favor. If any other universe venerables extend invitations to take me as a disciple, please help me deflect them!"

"..."

The Nine Swords Venerable was silent for a moment, then slowly asked:
"Qianwu, who is the disciple you have chosen?"

"Underworld!"

The shaman immediately spoke.

"Sorry, Qianwu, you're late!"

Nine Swords Venerable's face darkened, and he quickly replied.

"Too late? No way! The battle of geniuses isn't over yet. Minghai comes from my universe. Unless the great cosmic lord intervenes, no one is more qualified than me to take him as a disciple!"

The shaman's tone became urgent.

"I'm busy hosting the Genius Battle, let's talk next time!"

The Nine Swords Venerable said expressionlessly.

"No, Nine Swords, you said you would never refuse to help if you could!"

"That's what Qianwu said quickly."

"But I can't help you with this!"

The Nine Swords Venerable replied calmly:
"Qianwu, although Minghai comes from your Cosmic Kingdom, I am the host of this Genius Battle, and I am the most qualified person to take Minghai as my disciple!"

'Snapped'

Before Qianwu could reply, Jiujian hung up the communication.

'Drip drip'

"Master, Venerable Jingyue has sent a communication request!"

The intelligent life form reported this as soon as the connection with the Qianwu was disconnected.

"Hmph, shut down communications! I won't answer anyone except the great Lord of the Universe!"

The Nine Swords Venerable snorted and gave the order.

"Master, are you sure? Universe Venerables only communicate once every few years. What if there's an emergency? Wouldn't that cause a delay?"

The intelligent life form, resembling an elven beauty, asked in surprise.

"What nonsense?"

The Nine Swords Venerable said in an annoyed tone:
"You never see a soul in billions of years, but now they're all swarming over to steal my apprentice. What makes them so special?"

"Oh, so Master also wants to take Minghai as his disciple!"

The intelligent life form, resembling an elven beauty, blinked, understood, nodded repeatedly, and quickly shut down the communication with the Nine Swords Venerable.

"call!"

After the communication was shut down, the Nine Swords Venerable let out a soft breath.

If it was just the Universe Venerable who took a liking to Minghai, he wouldn't be worried. Just as he had said to Qianwu, he was the most qualified person to take Minghai as his disciple, as the host of this year's Genius Battle.

However, the Nine Swords Venerable was somewhat worried about the universe overlord.

What if a cosmic overlord takes a liking to the Underworld Sea and asks him for it? Should he give it to him or not?
So, I simply shut down communication and stopped talking to anyone.

This attitude clearly shows his meaning; even a cosmic overlord wouldn't be so shameless as to demand someone.

……

The seventh trial tower, the sixth floor.

'boom'

'boom'

……

The ten creatures, each over three hundred meters long, were covered in dark golden scales. Their triangular pupils gleamed with a cold, bloodthirsty light. Their enormous wings swept through the void, producing thunderous roars as they charged toward the Nether Sea.

Brush brush!
Three thousand illusory bodies appeared simultaneously, with the true body of the Nether Sea mixed among them, facing the terrifying starry sky behemoth.

"cut!"

With a roar, Minghai unleashed the thirteenth move of the "Thirteen Swords of the Azure Waters," the ultimate killing technique, "Tidal Waves of Azure Waters." Sword light filled the starry sky, sweeping forward like a raging torrent. *Pfft*

‘Puff’

……

The illusion quickly shattered, leaving less than three hundred in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, the Crimson Blood Demon Sword also severed the enormous head of the star beast 'Cang', scattering blood across the starry sky.

‘Swish swish’

The remaining nine 'Azure' beasts followed closely behind, their sharp, knife-like wings and razor-sharp claws attacking from all directions at incredible speed, so fast that even the 'Hundred Threads Flow' movement technique couldn't dodge them.

‘Boom boom boom’

After being struck repeatedly, Minghai coughed up blood and flew backwards for hundreds of kilometers.

‘Boom boom boom’

The nine-headed 'Azure' wings vibrated through the void, its enormous form following closely behind, as if teleporting, and it reappeared in an instant.

'dang dang dang'

'bang bang bang'

Under the starry sky, a fierce battle of disproportionate magnitude is unfolding.

"No!"

After slaying three 'Azure' beings in succession, Minghai's genetic energy was almost exhausted, he thought helplessly.

The strength of the 'Cang' on this level is far superior to that of the 'Cang' in the previous six trial towers; any one of them has the ability to kill the million geniuses in the finals.

Even Berlan, in a one-on-one fight, might not be able to win!
With his illusory form shattered and unable to re-differentiate in a short time, Minghai couldn't hold out for long under the relentless pursuit of the nine terrifying 'Azure' heads.

at last.

After killing another 'Azure', bringing the total to four, Minghai's figure was trapped by six 'Azure' beasts. Claws flew everywhere, feathers flew across the sky, and he was instantly torn to shreds, dying on the spot.

After reassembling his body, Minghai discovered that he had left the Trial Tower and was now in the central square where he had first been brought.

There were already more than a hundred contestants who had died in the Trial Tower and were teleported out of the square. These young geniuses looked at Ming Hai, who had been eliminated, with incredulous eyes.

These young geniuses, who were also eliminated by the Trial Tower, mostly failed to pass the second Trial Tower and had only a few hundred thousand points, which was a world of difference from Minghai's more than 50 billion points.

After glancing at the young geniuses who had essentially lost their chance to advance to the next round, Ming Hai looked at the huge screen in the center of the square.

On the screen, the broadcast is showing the geniuses who are still trying to conquer the Trial Tower.

"That bastard Luo Feng...!"

Looking at Luo Feng, who was still in the first trial tower, Ming Hai smiled slightly.

Just like in the original timeline, although Luo Feng had the strength to continuously clear levels, he did not do so. Instead, he tried to prolong the time at each level and worked hard to cultivate.

normal.

If managed properly, it can provide an extra year of cultivation time.

A mere year is practically meaningless to other participating geniuses, but Luo Feng's Demon Slayer Clan clone has only been conceived for a short time and is in a phase of explosive growth in strength. Even if it's only for a year, it's enough for Luo Feng's strength to make a qualitative leap.

If the Demon Slayer Clan clone was conceived six or seven years ago, with Luo Feng's comprehension, he might be able to compete with Ming Hai and Bo Lan for first place!

The Golden Horned Beast, a darling of the Law of Gold, and the Demon Slayer Clan's avatar, a darling of the Law of Space, plus his true realm being a Domain Lord, Luo Feng's talent surpasses that of Bolan, who appears once every ten thousand epochs, and is on par with Minghai, who appears once every ten million epochs.

"Hong's strength is progressing rapidly. Although he has no hope of being in the top 100 and thus unable to enter the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, he can still be guaranteed to be in the top 1,000 and will definitely enter the Doomsday Secret Realm!"

Minghai spotted Hong in black amidst the millions of broadcast views, and watched as Hong nearly conquered the third trial tower and was about to enter the fourth.

Hong has a high level of understanding of the laws of light, and with his mastery of the second move of the World Lord-level spear technique "Lightning Black Spear", his strength ranks among the top in the millions of geniuses.

"Thor, on the other hand, is a bit of a pity!"

Looking at Thor, who was fighting hard on the third floor of the third trial tower, Minghai shook his head slightly.

Thor's comprehension of the laws of lightning is quite high, and he has also mastered the first move of the World Lord-level secret technique "Thunder Blade". His strength is also among the top of the millions of geniuses.

However, there are at least ten thousand geniuses of equal strength to him, and unless he makes another breakthrough, there is almost no chance that he will break into the top one thousand and join the Virtual Universe Company.

"Huh, Berlan has also passed the sixth Trial Tower? I wonder how he fared in the seventh Trial Tower, and whether he could surpass the original timeline!"

Pay attention to Bolan, the one with the blood-stained sword and white robes, who has entered the first level of the seventh trial tower ahead of everyone else. Minghai casts his gaze over to him.
