Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 166 Mental Healing
"With a cosmic-level will that reaches the peak of the Marquis level and is considered immortal, this kid has a bright future and might even become a great cosmic master in the future!"

The old man with black scales muttered to himself.

The 21 islands of the Illusionary Sea are very similar to the 21 floors of the Sky Bridge.

The illusion of the ninth island represents the will of a peak world lord.

Starting from the tenth island, the illusion above requires an immortal-level will to pass through.

The illusion of the thirteenth island requires a senior immortal-level will.

The illusion of the sixteenth island requires an immortal-level will.

The illusion of the eighteenth island requires the will of an immortal king.

The illusion of the twenty-first island requires the will of a cosmic sovereign.

"This is the eighteenth one. Is it possible to get past it?"

The old man with black scales stared intently at the figure flying towards the eighteenth island in the Nether Sea. His heart, which had been as calm as a still pond for countless years, was now somewhat tense.

"If a cosmic-level individual passes the 18th island illusion trial, it not only means that the little guy possesses the will of a King-level immortal, but also that after achieving immortality, his will may reach the level of a cosmic master!"

"With such a mindset and will, coupled with an unparalleled talent that appears once every epoch, he is almost certain to become a cosmic sovereign in the future, and there is even a considerable hope that he will become the master of the universe!"

If this is true, humanity may very well have one more great being standing at the pinnacle of the primordial universe!

"Concern can cloud judgment," the old man with black scales thought with some trepidation.

The eighteenth island.

In fantasy.

A towering giant stands in the vast starry sky, uttering sacred words.

"Time Travel"

Shortly after, a black-haired young man from Earth arrives in the present from the past.

"Minghai, you've died once!"

The towering giant looked at the black-haired youth and said coldly:

"Remember to pay the revival fee!"

As he spoke, his entire figure suddenly vanished.

"I am dead?"

The black-haired youth stared in disbelief at the endless, vast starry sky opposite him.

"Impossible! As long as the Sea of ​​Blood remains, as long as the Blood Demon lives, I cannot die!"

The cold-heartedness he had cultivated over the years shattered instantly, and the black-haired youth roared.

But soon he discovered that he could no longer contact the Blood Sea, and that this body was no longer the Blood Demon, but just an ordinary Earthling.

Without the Blood Sea and the Blood Demon's body, how could he become a strongman?
An overwhelming fear descended, plunging the black-haired youth's mind into boundless darkness!
"Grandpa Ming, Grandpa Ming!"

Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared and called out to him affectionately.

The black-haired youth turned around and saw Luo Feng.

Before his death, he was an invincible king, but Luo Feng defeated the King of the Barking Mirror on Purple Thorn Island, revealing his power as a cosmic venerable and becoming one of the high-ranking members of the human race.

"Grandpa Ming, don't worry!"

Looking at the Dark Sea, Luo Feng's attitude was friendly, no different from when he was on Earth a long time ago, and he said:
"You are now immortal, possessing endless life. Even if your cultivation cannot progress, you can live forever in my universe!"

"..."

After hearing this, Minghai remained silent for a long time.

After a long, long time.

A smile appeared on Minghai's face.

"I see!"

He muttered to himself:

"Simply killing, no matter how strong, is nothing more than a beast. What's the difference between it and those low-level Chaos Origin creatures outside the Origin World who are born free from their cages, have noble bloodlines, but are low in intelligence and cannot even tap into the potential of their own bloodlines?"

"Indiscriminate killing is unacceptable!"

"Cold-blooded and ruthless is not the Blood Demon's true intention!"

"Slaughtering all living beings is certainly not wrong. Otherwise, how can we demonstrate the advantage of the Blood Sea in devouring all living beings to enhance talent and potential?" "But we need to exercise restraint and be selective. We cannot be led by the nose by slaughter. Instead, we should rationally plan our slaughter. Slaughter is just a means. Becoming a strong person is the ultimate goal!"

"Good grandson, you've enlightened me!"

Looking at Luo Feng, Ming Hai revealed a smile.

Luo Feng's words did not enlighten him, but the warmth of his family made Ming Hai realize the meaning of his life.

Whether he was a dull-witted Earthling in the past or a strange blood-like life form now, what he longed for was to become a strong person.

The killing of life and the devouring of all spirits are merely superficial phenomena.

Whether it was the information inherited from the depths of his bloodline or his personal will, he never killed for the sake of killing.

Black hair gradually turns red.

"boom!"

The illusion shattered.

Upon arriving at a beautiful, lush island, Minghai discovered that he was bleeding from all five orifices. These were physical injuries caused by the pressure on his soul from the illusion.

"call!"

He let out a long breath, clearing his mind from the illusion he had just experienced.
"This illusion is fucking awesome!"

Recalling the confusion he had encountered in the illusion, Minghai shook his head with a wry smile.

I never imagined that I would have such a soft spot.

Fortunately, it was just an illusion, and I successfully got through it!

Not only did they successfully navigate the eighteenth island, but they also repaired a potential psychological vulnerability!
"Good grandson!"

Thinking of Luo Feng in the illusion, Ming Hai smiled slightly.

"The nineteenth island is most likely insurmountable, but we still have to give it a try!"

Looking towards the distant nineteenth island, the Nether Sea rose into the sky, transforming into a streak of light and flying swiftly away.

Later.

Yuxiang Mountain, primitive area.

In the study, Minghai appeared.

"What terrifying soul-suppressing power!"

Recalling the soul oppression he had just experienced in the illusion, Minghai shook his head.

Ultimately, it's only at the cosmic level; even the strongest soul has its limitations. Faced with attacks from an omnipresent and powerful soul force, it still can't withstand them.

However, failing to pass the nineteenth Illusion Sea was only due to insufficient strength of the soul and will, and had nothing to do with whether there was a deficiency in one's character.

……

Just as Minghai failed to pass the nineteenth island and disappeared into the Illusionary Sea, the Black-Scaled Elder on the 21st island was filled with excitement.

"Eighteen islands! This little guy Minghai actually made it across eighteen islands!"

The old man with black scales exclaimed in disbelief:

"A being of the cosmic level possesses an immortal will that will be crowned as a king. If they were to become immortal in the future, to what extent would their will reach? It would probably be comparable to that of the oldest and greatest beings of the human race!"

"Such an astonishing will, and another monstrous genius appearing only once in countless epochs, the little guy's future is unimaginable!"

"We must report this to the city lord!"

Thinking of this, the Black Scale Elder immediately sent an email to the head of the Virtual Universe Company, the Lord of Chaos City.

Chaos City.

Hidden in the void, in the ruins of an ancient battlefield.

A majestic being, about three meters tall, with two fiery red horns on its forehead and exuding a vast and powerful aura of cosmic laws and a strong, bloody killing intent, looked at the email it had just received with a look of surprise in its eyes.

"They actually made it through eighteen islands in the Illusionary Sea?"

This towering being exclaimed in surprise:

"It seems that this child's potential needs to be further evaluated, but...!"

In a flash, the imposing figure frowned again and muttered to himself:
"No rush, we're only at the Universe level yet. Let's talk about it after we become World Lords!"
