Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 215 Apprenticeship
'drop'

"Minghai, congratulations on passing through the 21st Illusionary Sea!"

The system's cold, impersonal voice rang in my ears.

After venturing through the Illusionary Sea, Minghai returned to his luxurious study in the Primitive Zone and smiled slightly upon hearing this.

At the Domain Lord level, after re-nurturing the Blood Demon's true form with ten thousand times the genetic power, his soul strength reached the level of a King-level Immortal. Even if he only advanced to the first level of World Lord, his soul would increase tenfold.

The will that had already reached the limit of immortality naturally broke through to the level of the Universe Venerable!

Naturally, one can overcome the 21 layers of the Illusory Sea.

"A Domain Lord has passed the eighteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven, and a World Lord possesses the will of a Universe Venerable. I refuse to believe that the higher-ups of the human race will allow someone to possess my body!"

Dark Sea said secretly.

If he continues to act this way and the human race's higher-ups still allow someone to possess him, he can only accept his bad luck, find an opportunity to leave the human race, venture out on his own, and return to settle scores when he is strong enough.

The mind exits the virtual universe.

The luxurious manor in Xiangshui City, including the villa's study.

"I wonder who will be testing me?"

Resting his chin on his hand, Minghai pondered.

Under normal circumstances, when detecting the advancement of members of the Primal Secret Realm to World Lord, the Virtual Universe Company only needs to send ordinary Immortal staff.

However, his situation is special. In addition to testing whether he can advance to the realm master level, he also needs to be tested to see if he has a special life form with ten thousand times the genetic bonus, which confirms that he needs ten thousand times more nutrient solution than ordinary realm masters from the first to the ninth level.

Ordinary immortals, no, no immortals qualify.

At least a cosmic venerable one is needed.

"Minghai, come out and see me!"

Just then, a strange, cold voice came from outside the manor into the study.

Upon closer listening, the voice belonged to the owner of the manor.

"coming!"

Minghai raised an eyebrow, left the villa, and walked towards the entrance of the manor.

"Ok?"

Upon arriving at the entrance of the luxurious manor, Minghai saw a silver-haired man with graying temples, wearing ancient battle armor stained with blood, carrying a sword on his back, resembling an Earthling in appearance, extremely handsome, and with a cold and indifferent expression.

The silver-haired man stood there quietly, doing nothing, yet he naturally gave people the feeling of being the center of the universe and the master of all things.

Countless profound laws swirled around him, and the surrounding void seemed to bow to the silver-haired man, as if guarding a cosmic emperor.

The embodiment of laws, the cosmic master who rules over time and space!

A thought flashed through Minghai's mind.

The silver-haired man before me must be the Lord of the Universe!

He had met the Nine Swords Venerable and the Dragon Leap Venerable. The Universe Venerable was the master of space or time, with a vast and profound aura, but he was still far inferior to this one.

Nothing is impossible except for the Lord of the Universe.

Unexpectedly, the one who came to test my existence was actually a cosmic ruler!
"what?"

Suddenly, Minghai realized that the luxurious manor behind him had disappeared.

Not only did the luxurious manor disappear, but the planet beneath their feet vanished as well. Everything except him and the silver-haired man disappeared without a trace.

Unbeknownst to many, this place has become a closed space that isolates the inside from the outside!

"Greetings to the great Lord of the Universe!"

Suppressing his surprise, Minghai bowed respectfully.

"This is Ice Peak!"

The silver-haired man's expression remained unchanged, his tone indifferent, but his eyes were filled with surprise as he looked at Minghai.

Upon receiving a report from the staff that Minghai needed ten thousand times more nutrient solution than an ordinary World Lord from the first to the ninth level, and that he might possess a special life form with ten thousand times more genes, he immediately decided to come in person.

"Such bizarre things exist in the universe!"

Recalling his discoveries when he used 'Time Reversal' on Earth to observe the past of the Underworld Sea, the silver-haired man, 'Lord of the Ice Peaks', was filled with awe.

Even as the ancient ruler of the universe, who existed for countless ages, Minghai's secrets left him in awe.

Looking at the Nether Sea, the Lord of the Ice Peaks slowly said:
"Minghai, I wish to take you as my disciple. Are you willing?"

"Yes, disciple Minghai greets Master!"

Minghai immediately replied and bowed respectfully.

Even a second's delay is a disrespect to the Lord of the Universe!
"very good!"

A smile appeared on the Ice Peak Lord's face, which seemed as cold as ten thousand years of ice. He then extended his left hand, revealing an object resembling a dark green inkstone in his palm, and offered it to Minghai, saying:
"This top-tier soul defense treasure, the 'Yanmo Platform,' is a gift from your master!"

“This…!” Minghai blinked, looking hesitant as he glanced at the ‘Yanmo Platform’ in the Ice Peak Lord’s hand.

"how?"

Seeing this, the Lord of Ice Peak was surprised and explained:
"Don't want it? This is a top-tier soul defense treasure, capable of withstanding soul attacks from powerful beings, including Universe Venerables!"

"I know!"

Minghai quickly replied, and then said:

"This disciple already possesses a similar treasure, whose soul defense effect is no less than that of a top-tier soul defense treasure...!"

He didn't continue speaking, but hesitated before reaching out to take 'Yan Motai', saying at the same time:

"Disciple thanks Master for bestowing this treasure!"

Although the 'Yanmo Terrace' is somewhat redundant for him, he can trade it with someone else!

That's a top-tier soul defense treasure; exchanging it for two or three ordinary low-level supreme treasures wouldn't be a problem.

There's no reason not to want it.

"Forehead!"

After hearing what Minghai said, the Lord of Ice Peaks was speechless.

This was something he didn't expect.

"hehe!"

Seeing Minghai's helpless expression of 'the treasure is good, but it doesn't suit my taste', the Ice Peak Lord shook his head and chuckled, then withdrew the 'Yanmo Platform'.

"Master?"

Minghai looked over in surprise.

I had barely reached out my hand when you snatched the treasure away?
"Since you have a similar treasure, there's no need to give you the 'Yanmo Terrace'!"

The Lord of Ice Peaks shook his head speechlessly, thought for a moment, and asked:
"What kind of treasure do you need? Tell me, and I will find it for you!"

Generally speaking, what world lord-level geniuses need most are soul defense treasures to prevent being enslaved by the souls of alien powerhouses. Therefore, he spent a lot of effort to find this soul defense treasure that he believed was most suitable for the Underworld Sea.

But he didn't expect that the Underworld Sea already had a similar treasure, so this 'Yanmo Terrace' was naturally no longer presentable.

Giving a disciple a treasure and then having him exchange it for another treasure that suits him is such a shameful thing that the Lord of Ice Peak would never do.

A master should prescribe the right medicine for his disciple and give him the most suitable treasure.

"We must meet his demands no matter what!"

The Lord of Ice Peaks thought to himself.

Unexpectedly, the Underworld already possesses a soul defense treasure. Having suffered such a humiliating defeat when he first became an apprentice, the Lord of Ice Peaks does not wish to continue to lose face.

He secretly decided that even if Minghai wanted a soul defense treasure, he would find a way to get one for him.

As a fourth-order universe master of the human race standing at the pinnacle of the primordial universe, he has the confidence to do so.

On the other side, after hearing the promise from the Lord of Ice Peak, Minghai put his mind to work and quickly considered the matter.

This is a promise from the Lord of the Universe; it cannot be wasted.

We must obtain at least one supreme treasure.

It has to be the most suitable treasure for oneself.

What do I need most?

Minghai pondered repeatedly.

With the spatial origin treasure 'Ring of Space', he has no other desires in terms of cultivation.

Then the only solution is to increase our strength.

What kind of treasure can quickly enhance one's strength?

Supreme Treasure?

Think more.

He's just a mere Realm Lord; even giving him a top-tier treasure wouldn't help him, he simply can't use it.

It's better to get a low-grade treasure; at least it can be of some use.

"Have it!"

After much deliberation, Minghai finally came up with the most suitable treasure for himself.

"Master!"

Minghai said respectfully:
"After soaking in the nutrient solution and advancing to the ninth level of the Realm Lord, I plan to go to the outer battlefield for training, both to fight against powerful alien races and to begin creating my own secret techniques!"
