Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 248 King of Hengbo

Although the book "Swallowing the Stars" mentions that the Hongmeng Association will recruit King-level Immortals, it does not specify the conditions for joining.

In the original timeline, Luo Feng was invited to join the Hong Alliance because of his brilliant achievements, including the death of a Limit King at his hands, earning him the formidable reputation of "King of the Blade River".

To kill a Limit-Sealing King, regardless of the method used, it's impossible for someone to be a mere Elementary Sealing King!

Therefore, it seems that not all immortal kings are eligible to receive an invitation to join the Hong Alliance; there are certain conditions.

At least, judging from the Azure Blood King's intentions, a beginner-level Immortal King is not qualified.

"In the book 'Swallowing the Starry Sky,' the Demon Hand King who killed Hu Yanbo doesn't seem to have joined the Hong Alliance!"

Remembering the Demon Hand King who killed Huyan Bo, Ming Hai understood something.

What are the requirements for joining the Hongmeng?

Minghai asked curiously.

"No specific strength requirements!"

The King of Azure Blood thought for a moment and said:
"But they must have an amazing record, such as having killed a King-level Immortal. And they cannot use a siege attack; they must kill him alone. Only such a strong person has a chance to be invited by the Hong Alliance!"

"According to this requirement...!"

After a pause, the Azure Blood King continued:
"To join the Hong Alliance, one's strength must be at least that of a high-level King. After all, those whose strength is below that of a high-level King simply cannot kill a King-level Immortal!"

"I see!"

Minghai nodded, indicating that he understood.

'Hongmeng' is the name of a cosmic alliance of all races formed with the human race at its core. The requirements for recruiting formal members are extremely high, so it is normal that ordinary kings are not qualified to join.

This also explains why there are only a mere 100,000 human kings who have achieved immortality in the Hong Alliance.

As one of the most powerful races, the human race has stood in the primordial universe for trillions of years, giving birth to countless immortal gods. Even if there are few immortal kings, there are still more than 100,000.

Putting aside everything else, just the Human Race Universe Peak Genius Battle, which is held once every five thousand years, produces at least one genius who becomes immortal in each session.

Even if one out of ten thousand ordinary immortals becomes a marquis, and one out of ten thousand marquis immortals or one out of one hundred million ordinary immortals becomes a king immortal, over trillions of epochs, the accumulated number of king immortals would still be enormous.

After all, even in a trillion epochs, the Human Race Universe's Top Genius Battle has been held two hundred trillion times!

In other words, in just one trillion epochs, the human race can produce no less than two hundred trillion ordinary immortals, two trillion marquis immortals, and two hundred million king immortals.

Even if 90% of them completely perished, the number of those who remained as kings and immortals far exceeded the numbers shown on the surface.

Therefore, the number of human kings and immortals in the Hong Alliance may indeed be only 100,000, but the number of human kings and immortals who have not joined the Hong Alliance is at least a hundred times, a thousand times, or even ten thousand times that number.

The human race's King-level Immortals in the Hong Alliance are undoubtedly the most outstanding, selected from among many King-level Immortals, each possessing formidable strength.

Let alone the initial level of kingship, even the high level of kingship is very difficult to join!
After all, although a high-ranking king could theoretically kill a low-ranking king by burning divine power, that was only in theory.

If you can't fight, can't you run?

Even setting aside their trump cards and life-saving tricks, they can still unleash divine power!

When cornered, they can even self-destruct, taking the enemy down with them!
When a newly appointed king burns his divine power, his combat strength can reach that of a high-ranking king. His self-destruction is comparable to the attack of a peak-ranking king. Which high-ranking king would dare to forcibly kill him and take that risk?
To kill a low-level King, one usually needs the strength of a peak King.

Although the battles in the primordial universe were brutal and the death rate of the strong was extremely high, the death rate was actually quite low when one reached the level of becoming a king and immortal.

Over the long years, the number of people granted the title of king and immortality has naturally increased.

If this applies to the human race, it's likely the same for other top races like the demon race, the mechanical race, and the insect race.

This also explains why the six dominant races of the original universe unanimously set the minimum standard for resurrection at the peak of kingship and immortality.

There are simply too many ordinary immortal kings, and the number of universe lords from various races is limited, so they simply cannot be resurrected.

Only those with a high probability of becoming a Cosmic Venerable, the peak-level Kings, and those peerless geniuses who appear only once every ten million or one hundred million epochs can be resurrected first.

As they passed a mountain range, the Azure Blood King suddenly stopped, looking to his left with a hint of surprise at a colossal mountain tens of thousands of kilometers high. "Ninth Senior Brother, what have you discovered?"

Seeing this, Minghai asked curiously, while simultaneously sensing the giant mountain. He then smiled with delight:

"The primordial energy of the universe is very active there, and there is a high possibility that a treasure is about to be born!"

"That's right!"

The King of Azure Blood laughed and said:

"Judging from the activity level of the primordial energy of the universe, this treasure is about to be born. Junior brother, we're in luck, let's go!"

After saying that, he immediately accelerated and flew quickly towards the location where he discovered the rich cosmic energy.

Minghai followed closely behind.

As the location drew closer, the primordial energy of the mountain ahead became increasingly concentrated, even condensing into a colorful mist-like gas when the distance reached tens of thousands of kilometers.

"roll!"

However, just as the two were about to reach their destination, a powerful force suddenly blocked their way and roared.

"Ok?"

Both Minghai and Bixuewang stopped.

"Is it Yokobo-sensei?"

Unlike the Nether Sea, who had only recently entered the extraterritorial battlefield and knew little about the powerful figures there, the Azure Blood King had explored the star cluster for tens of thousands of years and was familiar with the powerful figures of various races, so he immediately recognized the identity of this consciousness.

Hengbo Wang is domineering and tyrannical, and is an extremely powerful high-ranking king with considerable fame in the surrounding star cluster.

Although the Azure Blood King had broken through his secret technique and greatly increased his strength, there was still a long way to go before he could become a high-level immortal king. After recognizing the Horizontal Wave King, he hesitated for a moment.

"King Hengbo? A powerful figure from the 'Black Cloud' clan of the demon race, a high-level King-level Immortal?"

Minghai, standing nearby, recalled the origins of Hengbo Wang based on information he had seen in the military system.

Most of the immortals exploring the star cluster are at the initial level of the King rank, while the advanced level of the King rank belongs to the top-level powerhouses with few rivals. No wonder this Hengbo King dares to be so domineering.

"King Hengbo is among the most powerful of the high-ranking kings. If I were alone, I certainly wouldn't dare to compete with it."

He heard the voice transmission of the Azure Blood King in his ear.

"But junior brother, aside from not being able to burn divine power, your strength is no weaker than its. How about it? Do you want to compete for the treasures inside?"

Minghai smiled slightly and transmitted his voice:
"Of course we'll fight for it! I've been itching for a fight lately. So what if I'm a high-ranking king? I'll hold off King Hengbo for a bit, and you, Ninth Senior Brother, will be in charge of retrieving the treasure!"

"it is good!"

Upon receiving a response from the Underworld Sea, the Azure Blood King was filled with fighting spirit. He drew his crimson 'Crimson Wind Battle Blade' and continued flying forward, laughing loudly:

"King Hengbo? Who gave you the audacity to be so arrogant? We decide the fate of the treasures born here based on our strength!"

After the two recognized each other, they sparred many times in the virtual world. The Azure Blood King knew that the Nether Sea was far stronger than him, and even many high-ranking kings were no match for him.

Such strength is enough to rival the King of Yokoha.

Unless King Hengbo unleashes his divine power, the two of them working together have a high chance of seizing the treasures inside.

However, divine power is precious, and unless faced with a life-or-death crisis, no one will easily burn their divine power in battle.

Once the battle begins, as long as Minghai displays the strength of a high-level king, Hengbo Wang will never voluntarily burn his divine power.

After all, from Hengbo Wang's perspective, if it can burn divine power, why can't Minghai?

Whizzing! !
Ten thousand kilometers is nothing more than a fleeting moment for the Azure Blood King and the Underworld Sea.
