Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 232 Outbreak
"This is a thousand-vine plant, a peak-level military lord-level thousand-vine plant! Retreat, retreat quickly!"

Captain Walton's urgent shout came from beside him.

'bang bang bang'

The Obsidian Sword slashed repeatedly, blocking the densely packed blue vines that attacked. Minghai drew upon his energy to sense his surroundings, and his heart sank.

Captain Walton, like him, was tightly entangled by a dozen long blue vines and unable to break free.

Vice-captain Jiang He was no exception; compared to Walton and Minghai, who were able to constantly dodge the green vines, his situation was even worse.

Jiang He's attack power was significantly lower than Walton's and Ming Hai's, making it much more difficult for him to defend against the attacks of the blue vines. More than a dozen blue vines pressed closely, completely surrounding him, putting him in a difficult situation.

Flying Blade, Azure Feather, Green Soul, and even Dream, which is 100,000 kilometers away, have all been approached by more than a dozen azure vines and are in imminent danger!

escape?
There's no way to escape!
The void spanning hundreds of thousands of kilometers was sealed off by the Thousand Vines; unless one could instantly enter the dark universe, no one could escape.

Even if they were to become immortal kings, they couldn't instantly enter the dark universe.

'boom'

Upon realizing the situation on the battlefield, Minghai dared not hesitate and immediately mobilized all his genetic power, releasing his ten-thousand-fold genetic power and causing his aura to surge.

‘click’

A long, blue vine that shot towards them was severed by the 'Obsidian Sword', whose power had increased dramatically.

The full power of his genes, multiplied ten thousand times, brought him ten thousand times the power of a peak human realm lord. Coupled with an immortal secret technique that was infinitely close to the 'ordinary' level, these cyan vines could no longer restrain him.

‘click’

‘click’

……

In an instant, hundreds of swords were unleashed, severing the dozen or so green vines that had been surrounding the Nether Sea into hundreds of broken roots, leaving the surrounding area empty.

brush!
After severing the long, blue vines that were surrounding him, he looked at Walton not far away and swung his sword, unleashing a long streak of sword light.

The sword light, equivalent to the power of an immortal king, traversed hundreds of kilometers of space and severed all the green vines near Walton.

"call!"

Walton felt the pressure ease, let out a long breath, glanced at Minghai with surprise, and without asking any questions, hurriedly called out:

"Cold-blooded, I can still hold on. I'll support the other brothers first!"

Minghai nodded slightly, then flew towards the team members behind him.

Although these green vines are powerful, Walton is, after all, a peak military lord immortal with great strength, so he will be fine for the time being. On the contrary, the vice-captain Jiang He and the other four world lord members are in more danger.

'brush'

However, just as he was about to set off, a giant bird with a wingspan of more than 20 kilometers and its entire body covered in ferocious blue battle armor suddenly blocked his way, its wings flapping slightly, its posture leisurely.

It was the demon immortal 'Azure-Eyed Marquis' whom they had previously planned to ambush and assassinate.

"interesting!"

The emerald green eyes scanned the Obsidian Sword in Minghai's hand and the azure Azure Armor on his body. Qing Tonghou's eyes lit up, and he laughed in the universal language:
"You're just a Realm Lord, yet your armor and weapons are comparable to those of a human Marquis or Immortal. You can even cut through a thousand vines. You must be a core genius of the human race!"

"I never expected to have such a discovery today!"

Staring at the Dark Sea with eyes gleaming with excitement and greed, Qing Tong Hou laughed loudly:

"No wonder you have a detector that's even more advanced than mine, turns out you're a core genius realm lord of the human race, hahahaha!"

The Marquis of Qingtong was extremely excited at this moment.

Wearing high-grade armor and swords typically reserved for those who have achieved the rank of Marquis or Immortal, and possessing such strength, this Realm Lord must be a core genius of the human race.

Such a genius is worth more than many immortals; killing one is equivalent to killing ten or a hundred immortals!

More importantly, killing a core genius of the human race will also earn you extra rewards within the race!
Minghai saw through Qing Tonghou's thoughts, but ignored them.

Based on his knowledge from his original timeline and this life, he was well aware of the various open and covert struggles among the four top clans, and suppressing the geniuses of rival clans was just one aspect of it. The Azure-Eyed Marquis's actions were so obvious; there was no reason he couldn't see through it.

'boom'

When the second level of the "Ice Peak Divine Body" was unleashed, the genetic primal force within the body circulated at high speed, permeating every part of the body and penetrating deep into the genes, stimulating vitality and increasing strength tenfold.

brush!
The obsidian sword was swung swiftly.

The sword shone with a dazzling light, its mysterious techniques invoking the laws of the universe. Its sharp sword light swept across the starry sky, instantly covering thousands of kilometers.

‘click’

‘click’

……

A dazzling sword light swept across, accompanied by a series of cracking sounds, instantly erasing the tough, green vines surrounding Walton.

With the power of a human race's peak realm lord 10 times, and infinitely close to an ordinary-level secret technique, the power of this sword reached the peak of the Marquis level. No matter how powerful the Thousand Vine was, it was only at the level of a military lord, and those vines were simply unable to withstand it.

brush!
Thousands of sword lights converged, and an incomparably stunning sword light shone in the starry sky, carrying earth-shattering power as it slashed towards Qing Tong Hou.

Behind the sword light was Minghai, whose eyes were filled with murderous intent, yet whose face remained calm and whose blood-red hair flowed freely.

He used his strongest swordsmanship to date, intending to kill the giant bird-like monster on the other side, thus diverting the enemy's attention to rescue his team members.

The aura emanating from Qing Tong Hou was only at the level of a peak military lord. If nothing unexpected happened, this sword strike, comparable to that of an immortal king, would be enough to kill him.

The rest of the team was surrounded by thousands of vines. Any delay would mean certain death. With such a powerful enemy blocking their way, even the Underworld Sea couldn't call for help in time.

His idea was simple: as long as the owner of the Thousand Vine Tree was killed, the team's predicament would be resolved instantly.

"what?"

The sudden eruption of the Underworld Sea stunned Qing Tong Hou, who thought he had everything under control.

"This sword strike is at the peak of the Marquis level! Damn it, this human realm master genius is actually a Marquis immortal in disguise!"

Witnessing this sword strike, Qing Tonghou arbitrarily 'understood' the situation and was immediately enraged, cursing the human race for being despicable.

A dignified peak-level Marquis and Immortal, pretending to be a Realm Lord while mixed in with an adventure team, isn't that despicable?

Facing a peak-level Marquis, Qing Tong Hou dared not conceal his aura any longer. A jade spear appeared in his right claw, and he unleashed his full immortal divine power to meet the incoming sword light.

Rumble~~~
The clash of swords and spears produced a deafening roar, and the aftershocks of their power swept across tens of thousands of kilometers, shattering small meteorites floating in the void.

"Ok?"

After the attack, Qing Tonghou and Ming Hai looked at each other in shock.

"Such powerful force! It must be at the peak of the Marquis-level Immortal realm. How despicable!"

Having taken the full force of Minghai's clothes, Qing Tonghou felt his divine body tremble and showed signs of collapse. Surprised, he couldn't help but curse under his breath again.

He was a Marquis-level expert who had created his own 'ordinary' level secret technique, undergone a divine body transformation, possessed an immortal body, and had the power of a peak Realm Lord three hundred times stronger. Yet, he was still no match for him. The only possible enemy was a peak Marquis-level Immortal.

Minghai was equally surprised.

He knows his own strength best. After advancing to the realm lord, he re-brought back the Blood Demon, possessing ten thousand times the genetic potential. In addition, he has mastered the Ice Peak Divine Body. Even if his secret techniques are not up to par, he is still a top-tier Marquis-level immortal warrior.

Any immortal military leader can be killed with a single sword strike!

This monstrous beast was able to block my sword strike; it was definitely not at the level of a military commander, but rather a marquis-level immortal!

"So it's a title of Immortal Marquis, no wonder it has the resources to cultivate a peak-level 'Thousand Vine'!"

Minghai understood, but now was not the time to think about such things. When his plan failed, he instantly merged with his sword, passing through the void and catching up with Qing Tonghou as if by teleportation. His obsidian sword slashed through the void like lightning.

His self-created secret technique emphasizes speed; both his movement and swordsmanship are incredibly fast.
