Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 240 Truly Embarking on the Path of the Strong
"This human is a peak-level Marquis-level expert. Let's retreat! Damn it, why is such an expert coming to the outer perimeter instead of going deep into the 'Chaotic Star Cluster'!"

Soon after, the seven immortal beings from different races secretly discussed the matter via telepathy.

Their strength is only at the bottom in a place like the 'Chaotic Star Cluster'. They can force ordinary Marquis Immortals to retreat through battle, but when facing a peak Marquis, all they can do is run away.

During the battle, an alien immortal withdrew from the fray and retrieved a dark, pyramid-shaped spaceship several kilometers long from his World Ring.

‘Swish swish’

After the immortal took out the spaceship, the seven alien immortals simultaneously flew backward and entered the dark-colored spaceship.

‘Boom boom boom’

Countless sword lights bombarded the dark pyramid-shaped spaceship, but caused no damage whatsoever.

This spaceship was a high-end F-class ship purchased by the alien immortal from the mechanical race. It could withstand attacks from king-level immortals and was virtually indestructible. It was the source of this alien team's confidence to venture into the 'Chaotic Star Cluster'.

The next moment, the dark pyramid-shaped spaceship took off, transforming into a black lightning bolt and rapidly flying into the distance.

Staring at the departing spaceship, Minghai hesitated for a moment but did not give chase.

In the previous battle, he only unleashed a thousand times his genetic power, which is equivalent to a peak World Lord's power, plus a common-level secret technique, making his combat strength comparable to a common peak Marquis Immortal.

This alien team is quite strong; when they join forces, they are not much weaker than the Azure-Eyed Marquis back then.

If he unleashes his full power, he has a chance to kill them.

But it's only hope.

If everyone were to hide in an F-class spaceship and escape like they are now, without having cultivated any secret techniques for soul attacks, the Underworld Sea would be completely helpless against those alien immortals.

Unlike when she first encountered Qing Tong Hou.

If Qing Tonghou had been hiding behind the Thousand Vine Trees at that time, he could have easily taken out his F-class spaceship to escape from a great distance. Even if he had broken through the Nether Sea Secret Technique and his combat power was comparable to that of a low-level King, he still wouldn't have been able to stop him.

The F-class spaceship's defensive capabilities are no joke.

If Hu Yanbo hadn't been attacked by a soul-secret technique, he would have been able to escape the pursuit of the King-level powerhouse using the Meteorite Starship.

Because everything had gone smoothly for him, Qing Tong Hou never expected that a human marquis would impersonate a world lord, nor did he expect that Ming Hai would break through his secret technique during the battle. As a result, he was caught off guard and gave Ming Hai the opportunity to kill him.

This alien squad was different.

Knowing full well that his own strength was at the bottom in a place like the 'Chaotic Star Cluster', he prioritized survival above all else.

When encountering an enemy, the first thought is not to defeat them, but to escape at any time.

Unless you unleash your full power from the start, it's impossible to kill these alien immortals.

In fact, even if Minghai had unleashed its full power from the start, it would have been unlikely to have killed them.

Immortals who dare to venture into the mid-levels of the outer battlefield all have their own trump cards and are not so easy to kill.

Next, Minghai stayed on this star, reviewing the details of the battle, summarizing the experience, and sorting out his insights.

Although it was only a brief clash, his perfect comprehending of the universal laws, his extraordinary comprehension of the 'hundred billion-level Yuan Yi', and his current level of understanding of the laws at the limit of his realm, still gave him many new insights in this battle.

Three days later, the Sea of ​​Darkness left the star and flew into the depths of the 'Disordered Star Cluster'.

Half a month later, they encountered another elite alien team composed entirely of peak-level military lords and immortals.

The result was similar to last time. Not long after the battle, the opponent took out an F-class spaceship that could withstand attacks from a King-level expert and escaped.

After spending two or three days reflecting on his battle experiences, Minghai set off again.

Aside from the strong members of the human race, he challenged any powerful alien race he encountered. Since he had only recently entered the 'Chaotic Star Cluster,' most of the alien powerhouses he encountered were elite squads composed of peak military lords. Occasionally, he would encounter some Marquis-level powerhouses, but they were just ordinary Marquis-level immortals. He did not encounter any fatal dangers in the Underworld Sea.

But there weren't many gains.

The powerful alien warriors who venture here are all incredibly cunning, possessing a multitude of trump cards to protect themselves. Unless one's strength is absolutely overwhelming, they are extremely difficult to kill under normal circumstances.

Minghai wasn't in a hurry. His goal wasn't to kill the enemy, but to fight against powerful alien races, learn about various secret techniques and ultimate moves, broaden his horizons, and enhance the foundation of his self-created secret techniques.

Thus, while venturing deep into the 'Chaotic Star Cluster', they continuously fought against powerful alien beings who were adventuring there. After each battle, they reflected on their experiences and then continued to search for these alien beings as they ventured deeper into the star cluster.

As the number of battles increases, the insights gained also increase, and the progress of the secret technique cultivation gradually improves.

A year later, after venturing trillions of kilometers into the 'Disordered Star Cluster' and engaging in more than ten battles, Minghai finally created another ordinary-level secret technique, greatly increasing his strength.

The reason why it only took a year to create the second ordinary-level secret technique was not because the cultivation efficiency was higher than the ten years he spent wandering in the Shallow Water Starfield.

Rather, he had already entered the threshold of ordinary secret techniques and continued to create ordinary-level secret techniques, which was far less difficult than creating his first technique.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. Once you have mastered the first technique, the difficulty of subsequent training will be greatly reduced.

After creating the second ordinary-level secret technique, Minghai defeated dozens of enemies in succession in the secret space created by the Lord of Ice Peaks, and only stopped when he encountered the 289th enemy.

In the time that followed, Minghai continued his usual journey, delving deeper into the 'Chaotic Star Cluster' while seeking out powerful alien beings to fight, broadening his horizons and accumulating insights.

Three months later, he perfected the second secret technique he had created, which greatly improved his strength, and he defeated the 299th enemy in the secret technique space.

Minghai lingered on the 300th enemy for a long time.

This enemy represents a rudimentary understanding of the laws at the initial King-level, a hurdle that is neither too big nor too small.

If one is a Marquis-level Immortal, defeating this enemy will allow one to undergo a divine transformation, gaining ten thousand times the power of a peak Realm Lord, and becoming a Elementary King-level Immortal.

The Nether Sea is not immortal; even if it defeats the 300th enemy, it cannot undergo a transformation in divine power. However, its secret techniques can reach the level of a beginner-level king.

Time passed slowly.

Two years after creating the second ordinary-level secret technique, he ventured deep into the 6 trillion-kilometer region of the 'Disordered Star Cluster' and encountered his first peak-level Marquis-level immortal alien powerhouse in the Underworld Sea.

Both sides are at the peak of their cultivation, having achieved the title of Marquis and Immortal, so naturally they will not easily back down, nor will they flee early.

This battle was the most intense and longest since entering the 'Chaotic Star Cluster'.

Ten days later, the alien peak-level Marquis-level expert lost patience and left after uttering a harsh remark.

Minghai did not pursue.

Even a true beginner-level Immortal King cannot kill a peak-level Immortal Marquis unless they burn their precious divine power. Naturally, he couldn't do it either, so there was no need for him to pursue.

However, in the following days, based on his insights from this battle and the accumulation of the past three years, he created the third ordinary-level secret technique, greatly increasing his combat power.

In the secret space, the 300th enemy was finally defeated, reaching the level of a beginner-level King-level secret technique.

This means that his mastery of secret techniques has caught up with his level of understanding of laws.

From then on, the main method of cultivation was no longer the comprehension of laws supporting the cultivation of secret techniques, but the cultivation of secret techniques guiding the comprehension of laws!

After achieving the title of Immortal King, any powerful individual's understanding of the laws requires the guidance of profound secret techniques to delve into the origin and further elevate their level of understanding.

The cultivation model that focuses on comprehending the laws is the path of geniuses, but the cultivation model that focuses on secret techniques is the path of the strong.

From this moment on, Minghai truly embarks on the path of the strong!
