Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 190 The Four Reunite

For the Underworld, it was only a matter of time.

That's why he made a promise to the Nine Swords Venerable, saying that he could pass through the eighteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven within thirty years.

However, after successfully mastering several top-tier secret techniques, Minghai felt that his cultivation speed was a bit slow.

For other domain lord-level geniuses, mastering a 'normal' level secret technique would already be remarkable, let alone a 'top' level secret technique.

But in Minghai's eyes, even top-tier secret techniques were still not enough.

"If I can master a 'peak' level secret technique, my understanding of the laws will definitely reach the King-level!"

he thought to himself.

Unless one cultivates and integrates laws like Luo Feng, 'peak' level secret techniques contain at least one complete branch of spatial laws, which many peak-level King-level Immortals cannot master and belong to the realm of ultimate King-level Immortals and invincible King-level powerhouses.

But that refers to original creations.

If one is cultivating someone else's secret techniques, one can follow the path taken by their predecessors and cultivate accordingly, even at a lower level.

However, the so-called low level is relative. For ordinary geniuses, the difference between a Domain Lord and a Limit King is too great, and even imitation is not possible.

Even the most exceptional geniuses, those who emerge only once every ten million or even one hundred million epochs, cannot master the ultimate techniques at the Domain Lord level.

But the Underworld is different.

After Blood Sea's advancement, Blood Demon's comprehension reached the level of "once every hundred epochs," and with the ability to constantly comprehend the "Ring of Space," it might not be impossible for him to fail.

In terms of comprehending the laws alone, there is no difference between 'occurring once every 10 billion epochs', 'occurring once every 100 million epochs', or 'occurring once every 10 million epochs'.

However, the secret cultivation method is different from the secret method created in the future. The higher the comprehension, the higher the cultivation efficiency.

Without hesitation, Minghai began selecting from the hundreds of thousands of secret manuals given to him by the Nine Swords Venerable.

In the end, he chose the ultimate sword technique, the Nine Swords, which is the pinnacle of the 'water and air' swordsmanship!
The reason he chose this secret sword technique was not only because it perfectly matched his cultivation path, but more importantly, because this secret technique was created by the Nine Swords Venerable during the Immortal Era.

If there's anything you don't understand, you can directly ask the Nine Swords Venerable; it's much more effective than practicing alone.

In the time that followed, Minghai devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivating the Nine Swords secret technique.

As expected of the pinnacle technique created by the Nine Swords Venerable during the Immortal Era, this secret method contains the three major branches of the laws of space. Although it is extremely powerful, it is also profound and obscure, making it extremely difficult to understand.

Even in the Dark Sea, cultivation is fraught with difficulty.

The profound laws contained in the secret technique far exceeded his level of understanding of the laws.

Fortunately, it's just following the instructions; there's no need for complicated solutions. Just practice diligently and you can imitate the movements perfectly.

With his near-King-level comprehension of the laws, and being a genius with the highest level of understanding since the birth of the primordial universe, he could barely manage to cultivate.

It was really a stretch.

Six months have passed, and I still haven't gotten the hang of it.

Minghai wasn't in a hurry. He practiced repeatedly every day, constantly pondering, striving to master the first sword technique and enter the realm of cultivation as soon as possible.

Although he hasn't mastered the basics yet, after six months of hard work, he has already sensed a glimmer of hope for getting started and believes he will succeed soon.

May I ask the Nine Swords Venerable?
I haven't even mastered the basics, how can I possibly ask for help?

I should wait until I've mastered the basics of swordsmanship before I can ask for instruction!

Time passed slowly.

one year later.

Emerging from the nutrient tank, Minghai donned his silver Tier 5 Force Armor once more, feeling the power within him a hundred times stronger, and nodded in satisfaction.

Ninth-tier Domain Lord!
However, although his life level was raised to the ninth level of the Domain Lord, the 'Blood Tower' in his sea of ​​consciousness did not change at all; only the surrounding blood-red aura became even more intense.

This is not surprising.

During their trip to the Blood Luo Continent, by absorbing the massive amount of resentment and malevolent energy contained in tens of thousands of Blood Luo Crystals, the 'Blood Tower' was already ready to take shape.

It's just that its life level is insufficient, and its soul strength cannot withstand the pressure brought by the formation of the 'Blood Tower,' so it has to stop growing.

Unlike the Star Tower, which tests willpower, the standard for the formation of the 'Blood Tower' is soul strength, specifically the soul strength of at least a Cosmic Venerable level.

The cosmic level is the soul strength of a peak realm lord. When advancing to the Blood Sea realm, the soul undergoes a transformation, reaching the immortal level of a peak military lord. Advancing to the domain lord realm increases the soul strength by a hundredfold, reaching the peak marquis level.

But the 'Blood Tower' is still a long way from being completed!
virtual universe.

"Your Highness Minghai, now that you've reached the Domain Lord level, you must be transferred to a higher position!" A 3D projection of a black-robed employee from a virtual universe company looked at Minghai and said:
"According to convention, they are usually sent to their hometown. Your Highness's hometown is the 'Qianwu Universe Kingdom'!"

"I wonder if Your Highness would be willing to return to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom and assume an important position in my Virtual Universe Company's Qianwu branch? If not, Your Highness may choose any universe kingdom!"

"I'm willing to go to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom!"

Minghai nodded and said calmly.

"Your Highness!"

The staff member in the black robe smiled and said:
"Because you are a member of the Primal Secret Realm, the position you will be assigned to at the Virtual Universe Company's Qianwu branch will be very high and involve a great deal of influence. Therefore, it will be decided after a meeting of senior management. Please wait one to six months!"

……

The news that Minghai had been promoted to Domain Lord and was about to be released to the outside world spread quickly.

Yuxiang Mountain, public area, private rooms on the second floor of the Earth-themed teahouse invested and built by Xu Xin.

The four members of the group—Minghai, Luofeng, Hong, and Leishen—are reunited once again.

"Grandpa Ming, you've been promoted to Domain Lord?"

Luo Feng, his brows more resolute than before and radiating a sharp aura, looked at Ming Hai with surprise and asked:
"You've only been away from Chaos City for eighteen years, why are you advancing to Domain Lord so early?"

Hong in black and Thor with bald heads looked over, puzzled.

The cosmic level allows you to accept various missions, from which you can obtain a large number of points and treasures, offering numerous benefits.

Generally speaking, geniuses from various secret realms, including the primordial secret realm, will stay at this stage for hundreds of years or more and will not advance to the level of domain lord so early.

After all, once you become a domain lord, you will be sent out by the Virtual Universe Company, leaving behind the secret realm with its excellent cultivation environment, and you will also lose the qualification to carry out missions.

"Old Ming, have you crossed the twelfth level of the Heavenly Bridge?"

Thor's eyes flickered as he guessed.

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng and Hong exchanged a glance, both showing a look of sudden realization.

Even before leaving Chaos City, Minghai had already crossed the eleventh level of the Heavenly Bridge. If he were to go further and cross the twelfth level, he would essentially reach the highest level of cosmic law in the history of the human race.

If that's the case, then there's really no need to stay at the cosmic level.

"no!"

Ming Hai shook his head and said:
"I did not attempt to cross the overpass!"

He paused, noticing the three people's surprised expressions, smiled slightly, and continued:

"However, not long ago I conquered the Primal Tongtian Mountain, which is of cosmic level!"

"what!"

"what!"

"what!"

Upon hearing this, the three of them opened their mouths wide, looked at each other, and were speechless.

Unlike crossing the Tongtian Bridge, the fact that they crossed the Primal Tongtian Mountain was not widely publicized and was only known to the senior management of the Virtual Universe Company, so Luo Feng and the others were unaware of it before.

The Primordial Tongtian Mountain is the benchmark for the highest level of geniuses among the human race, yet Minghai just casually glossed over it with a single sentence?
"high!"

After a moment, the white-robed, bald Thor gave a thumbs-up and praised:

"When it comes to showing off, I only admire Old Ming!"

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

How have you been lately?

After laughing, Minghai asked.

For the past ten years or so, everyone has been racing against time to cultivate themselves, with very little time to get together, and no one even knows what the other is doing.

After a brief conversation, Minghai learned that Hong had recently completed a 'normal' level mission and was planning to carry out a second 'dangerous' level mission.
