Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 242 Self-destruction
‘Boom boom boom’

Minghai moved with lightning speed, his obsidian sword possessing unparalleled power, instantly sending the three blood-red 'Azure Spears' flying far away.

"What a powerful spear!"

Although he knocked the 'Azure Spear' away, Minghai was slightly surprised.

In his perception, the three 'Azure Spears' possessed extremely powerful penetrating force and sharp edge, and also had precise and powerful void locking and sealing functions, far surpassing his own Obsidian Sword.

Such immense and extremely powerful force is usually only found in rare and precious treasures.

"Are these blood-red spears powerful offensive weapons?"

A thought flashed through his mind, but Minghai quickly dismissed it.

A mere Marquis of Immortality could not possibly possess powerful offensive treasures, and even if he did, he would never dare to use them.

However, the 'Azure Spear' does possess certain abilities to attack powerful treasures.

The reason lies in the mysterious patterns engraved on the spear.

These runes were drawn by the Demon Race Universe Venerable Rune Master based on a certain powerful offensive weapon, and therefore contain some of the functions of that weapon.

Although it only possesses a slight offensive power, it is enough to make the 'Azure Spear' one of the top weapons below the level of offensive treasures.

In fact, the 'Azure Spear' is quite famous within the demon race, and many immortal kings who follow the path of spiritual masters yearn to possess it.

The reason why Qingmang Hou possessed these five 'Qingmang Spears' was due to a certain opportunity.

Minghai naturally didn't know the origin of the 'Azure Spear', but through the battle, he could roughly learn some information about it.

It has extremely strong penetrating power and also has the function of locking and sealing in the void. In the hands of the peak Marquis 'Qingmanghou', its power is comparable to that of the King Immortal.

In fact, within the 'Disordered Star Cluster', Qingmang Hou has always been considered a powerful figure whose strength is comparable to that of a low-level King.

Deep within the 'Disordered Star Cluster', the yield of high-grade 'Flame Magnetite' ore is very high, attracting a large number of powerful individuals. Without such strength, no one dares to explore this place.

For example, those peak-level Marquis-level Immortals that Minghai encountered on the outskirts did not dare to come here.

It should be known that if a newly appointed king were to unleash their divine power, they could kill a peak-ranked marquis!

Although divine power is precious, under normal circumstances, no one would casually burn it in battle. But one can never be too careful about the unexpected. What if you really encounter such a situation?
Therefore, even those ordinary peak-level Marquis-level Immortals dare not venture deep into the 'Disordered Star Cluster', but only dare to explore the outer and middle layers, searching for 'Flame Magnetite' ore.

In a flash, Minghai understood all of this.

It doesn't matter!
His current combat strength is firmly among the top ranks of high-level King-level Immortals.

With the 'Azure Spear', 'Azure Marquis's' attack is comparable to that of a low-level King, but his movement and defense are limited to the level of a peak Marquis due to his mastery of secret techniques. Even burning divine power is no match for him.

'boom'

He channeled all his primal energy, unleashing his genetic power, and Minghai's aura surged, instantly overwhelming Qingmanghou.

His secret technique was originally at the advanced King-level Immortal realm, and when he unleashed his full power, his strength reached the peak King-level Immortal realm. Combined, they brought him to a level infinitely close to that of a peak King-level expert.

In an instant, Minghai's movement technique and sword speed increased dramatically.

brush!
The obsidian sword shone brightly, knocking away the three 'Azure Spears' that attacked again. Then, the sword and the sword became one, transforming into a bolt of lightning and rushing towards Azure Spear Marquis.

‘Boom boom boom’

Caught off guard, Qingmang Hou was instantly forced into a retreat.

"what?"

Qingmang Hou was greatly surprised.

"This human is definitely not an immortal marquis, but a powerful king!"

It is itself a pinnacle of the title of Marquis, comparable to the immortal title of King, and clearly understands the difference between the immortal titles of Marquis and King.

Minghai's movement and swordsmanship far surpass the level of a Marquis, so he is bound to be a King of Immortality.

"No wonder he dared to come knocking on our door!"

Qingmang Hou cursed under his breath, then mentally entered the virtual network of the demon army system to request help from nearby demon camp experts. Although his combat strength was close to that of a low-level King-level Immortal, he was not a true King-level Immortal after all. Apart from attack, he was far inferior to King-level experts in other aspects and was definitely no match for them.

"Hopefully it's just a low-level title of king; if it's a high-level title, I'm afraid I'll perish here!"

After repeatedly requesting support from powerful members of the nearby demon clan, Qingmang Hou prayed silently.

Unlike ordinary peak-level Marquis Immortals, Qingmang Marquis's strength is close to that of a beginner-level King. A beginner-level King can defeat it, but even if they burn their divine power at all costs, they still cannot kill it.

However, it would be dangerous if it encountered a high-level King-level Immortal, as that would be a truly terrifying existence capable of killing it.

But what you fear most is what happens most often.

Minghai unleashed his full power, the Obsidian Sword growing faster and faster, its light becoming increasingly fierce. The sword locked onto the void within a radius of ten thousand kilometers, its powerful offensive leaving Qingmang Hou breathless.

"It's a high-level king, a high-level king whose strength is close to that of a peak king!"

Qingmanghou was in despair.

The powerful members of the nearby demon clan received its request for help, but the nearest ones were light-years away and couldn't arrive in time.

Even if it gets there, its friends, who are about as strong as it, won't be able to save it; they'll just have to die with it.

'boom'

Upon realizing the terrifying strength of the Underworld Sea, Qingmang Hou immediately burned his divine power, his massive body ignited with golden flames, and his aura surged, greatly increasing the speed and power of the 'Qingmang Spear' that attacked the Underworld Sea.

Even so, they are still no match.

After burning his divine power, Qingmang Hou's strength reached the initial level of a King, and the attack power of the 'Qingmang Spear' was almost comparable to that of a high-level King Immortal, so the increase in strength was considerable.

However, it was still no match for Minghai, who had reached or even surpassed the level of a high-ranking king in terms of attack, defense, strength, speed, and movement.

Brush brush!
The sword strike from the Dark Sea is faster than the last.

The secret techniques he created emphasized speed and lethality; whether it was swordplay or movement, everything was incredibly fast and ruthless.

Even with his immortality, Qingmang Hou could not withstand such a terrifying attack, and his divine body suffered rapid damage.

1%, 2%, 3%...

Before long, it reached 8%, close to the 10% danger line.

In despair, Qingmanghou mentally logged into the virtual network of the demon army system.

"I'm dying!"

"The one who killed me was a high-ranking immortal king of the human race. His swordsmanship was sharp and extremely lethal. He was wearing the human race's 'Azure Treasure Armor.' Other information is unknown. I've never seen him before. He is very likely a human immortal king who recently joined the extraterritorial battlefield!"

"This human king-level immortal is very cunning. On the surface, he only appears to be a peak-level marquis-level immortal, but in reality, he is a high-level king-level immortal who is concealing his true identity!"

"..."

After quickly sending out several messages through the virtual network within the demon army system, Qingmang Hou made a decisive decision and immediately self-destructed.

Rumble~~~
The self-destruction of a peak-level Marquis was as powerful as an attack by a high-level King, with astonishing force extending across millions of kilometers of void. The massive star below was severely damaged and even showed signs of cracking.

‘Swish swish’

At the epicenter of the explosion, Minghai only had time to collect the five 'Azure Spears' that had lost their master's control and were flying wildly in the void into his world ring. He then retreated rapidly to avoid the terrifying force of the self-destruction.

‘Boom boom boom’

The powerful force of the self-destruction pushed the Dark Sea back millions of kilometers.

After he regained his footing in the void, he discovered that he had suffered considerable injuries.

He was, after all, only a realm lord. Although his genetic multiplier was high and his power was comparable to that of a peak-level immortal king, his physical strength was not as good as that of an immortal god.

Even with the 'Azure Armor' protecting him, he still couldn't avoid being injured by the all-encompassing force of the self-destruction.
