Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 249 Zhu Linguo

The next moment, the two appeared in a mountain valley that covered an area of ​​five or six thousand square kilometers, surrounded by mountains on three sides and open to the outside world on one side.

Not far away, stood an immortal alien creature, over thirty meters tall, with a body somewhat similar to that of a human, possessing a head, two hands, and two feet, but whose body was composed of hard stone.

This strangely-looking immortal from another race held a black spear that exuded a bloody and malevolent aura in both hands, glaring fiercely at the Azure Blood King and the Underworld Sea.

The renowned high-level King-level expert, 'Horizontal Wave King', from the 'Surrounding Star Cluster'.

Behind King Yokobo, there was a huge, black dome that blocked off an area of ​​100 kilometers.

In the perceptions of the Azure Blood King and the Underworld Sea, the location of that black 'cover' covering the ground was precisely where the primordial energy of the universe was most concentrated.

Clearly, inside the black 'cover' on the ground lies a treasure nurtured in this place, which has been seized by Hengbo Wang who got there first.

After glancing at the furious Hengbo King, Minghai narrowed his eyes and looked at the huge, black 'cover' behind it.

It is estimated that in order not to affect the development of the treasures inside and to allow them to absorb cosmic energy and grow normally, the black 'cover' on the ground is not completely isolated from the outside.

In the center of the black 'cover', there was a grass-like plant about 0.5 meters tall.

At the top of the grass-like plant, numerous green leaves cluster around the core, where a unique fruit grows, entirely blood red and exuding a mysterious aura.

This blood-red, unique fruit is absorbing cosmic energy flowing in from all directions, and it looks like it's not far from being fully ripe.

"The Crimson Fruit?"

Upon seeing the blood-red peculiar fruit, Minghai pondered for a moment. Having read the descriptions of various treasures within the Virtual Universe Company, he immediately recognized the name of this blood-red fruit.

It is said that the 'Crimson Qilin Fruit' is favored by the origin of the universe and contains a complete law of fire. If a world lord who follows the path of the law of fire consumes it, the probability of advancing to immortality will increase by 50%!

For the Underworld Sea, the Azure Blood King, and the Horizontal Wave King, the 'Vermilion Scale Fruit' was of no use.

However, it cannot be said that 'Zhu Lin Guo' is worthless.

On the contrary, anywhere in the primordial universe, the 'Vermilion Scale Fruit' is extremely expensive, with a price that is impossible to find. Any appearance of even one would cause a frenzy among powerful individuals to snatch up this peerless treasure!

Such treasures would never appear at ordinary auctions; they would only occasionally appear at auctions held within the Hongmeng Alliance.

Minghai is not a member of the Hongmeng and does not know the specific price of the 'Zhulin Fruit'.

But that doesn't mean he was unaware of the value of the 'Crimson Scale Fruit,' a treasure that could significantly increase the probability of advancing to immortality.

It's no less than the total wealth of someone who reached the pinnacle of their career!
The reason is simple: those cosmic venerables, cosmic overlords, and even cosmic masters need to provide for their family's future generations!
What a tiny bit of power held by a super strong person is an astronomical fortune to a weak person.

Compared to the cosmic venerables, cosmic overlords, or even cosmic masters, what are the mere wealth of a peak-level immortal king?
"'Azure Blood King', you, a mere initial-level king, with only a peak-level marquis as your companion, dare to come and snatch my treasure?"

The head was solid, giving it an incredibly hard feel, like a rock. The Horizontal Wave King, with its pair of brown eyes filled with murderous intent, looked over and shouted:

"Get out of here right now, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

The Azure Blood King ignored the Horizontal Wave King and, like the Underworld Sea, carefully sensed through the black dome that reached the ground. He too discovered the nearly ripe 'Vermilion Scale Fruit', and a smile appeared on his face as he laughed:

"So it's the 'Crimson Scale Fruit'. It seems the 'Crimson Scale Fruit' is not yet ripe and is still in its gestation stage. King Hengbo, no wonder you dare not leave this place!"

Minghai, who was standing to the side, also understood.

A fully matured 'Crimson Scale Fruit' will condense a complete Law of Fire within it. However, if it is picked before it is ripe, not only will it fail to condense a complete Law of Fire, but it will also dissipate all the Law of Fire, rendering all previous efforts futile.

That is why, after discovering the Azure Blood King and the Underworld Sea, the Horizontal Wave King did not pick the 'Vermilion Scale Fruit' in advance.

"So what?"

Hengbo Wang said proudly:

"You two humans, one a low-level king and the other a peak-level marquis, do you think you can stop me from taking the treasure? You'd better get lost, or I'll burn my divine power to kill you!"

"Hehe!" The Azure Blood King chuckled as he transmitted his voice to the Underworld Sea.

"Junior brother, the ability of your pearl to alter one's aura is truly remarkable. That scoundrel Hengbo Wang couldn't detect your true cultivation level at all!"

Minghai smiled slightly.

Hengbo Wang thought he was merely at the peak of his career and had been granted a title, but he was clearly mistaken.

Although he was only a realm lord and not even an immortal, his true combat strength was unmatched by few among the high-level kings, and he was on par with the peak kings.

Of course, it's no wonder that Yokobo-sensei was blamed.

After all, once the aura is altered using the 'Nei Ying Pearl', not even a mere high-level King like Hengbo Wang, let alone an invincible King, could tell.

"I'm going to challenge Hengbo King. Ninth Senior Brother, you stay behind and fight for me. Pick the 'Crimson Scale Fruit' as soon as it ripens!"

Minghai took out the pitch-black 'Obsidian Sword' and transmitted his voice to the Azure Blood King.

"Junior brother, be careful!"

The King of Azure Blood transmitted a reminder:

"The Horizontal Wave King's movement technique is only average among high-level kings, but his moves are extremely powerful, possibly exceeding the defensive limit of the 'Azure Wave Armor.' Since you don't have an immortal divine body, you need to be especially careful!"

"understand!"

After replying, Minghai, holding the Obsidian Sword, strode towards Hengbo King, who was standing guard in front of the 'Crimson Scale Fruit'.

Hengbo Wang is indeed skilled in killing, and his moves are extremely powerful, exceeding the limits of the 'Canglan Armor'. If it attacks the body, Minghai, who does not have an immortal divine body, is likely to perish on the spot.

However, Minghai's secret techniques are geared towards speed and killing power, and have reached the limit of the ordinary level. Coupled with 10 times the power of a peak world lord, his combat power is still above Hengbo Wang. How could he give him the chance to hit his body?
The 'Azure Armor' can withstand the aftershocks of the battle.

Unless Hengbo King burns his divine power at the start of the battle, Minghai is confident that he can hold it off until the 'Crimson Scale Fruit' is fully ripe and can be picked by Bixue King.

"Little junior brother!"

The voice of the Azure Blood King came again from behind.

"In addition, that black cover over the open space is called the 'Divine Ink Cover,' a flying treasure. Although its defensive power is not strong, it can communicate with Hengbo King's mind and can take away the 'Crimson Scale Fruit' inside at any time. Be careful that it doesn't become desperate and forcibly take away the 'Crimson Scale Fruit' before it matures!"

Taking advantage of his first move, Hengbo Wang used his flying artifact to control the 'Crimson Scale Fruit', making it convenient for him to collect it at any time. He could also destroy the 'Crimson Scale Fruit' in a desperate move when encountering a powerful enemy, making him a very troublesome opponent.

"Don't worry, Ninth Senior Brother, I have a plan!"

Minghai confidently replied via telepathy, then glanced at Hengbo Wang opposite him and said calmly:
"King Hengbo, I've heard your marksmanship is incredibly powerful. Today I'll have to see it for myself!"

Seeing that the Azure Blood King himself was not going to challenge him, but instead the peak-level Marquis beside him stepped forward, the Horizontal Wave King was taken aback at first, but then he seemed to realize something, and pointed his spear at the Underworld Sea, laughing loudly:

"You are the 'Blood Sword King'? The 'Blood Sword King' who impersonated a peak Marquis in the 'Chaotic Star Cluster' and killed many high-ranking Marquis and Immortals?"

"Humph!"

With a swing of his black spear, Hengbo Wang said disdainfully:

"A piece of trash who only dares to bully the weak dares to challenge me!"

"You'll find out soon enough whether you only bully the weak or not!"

Minghai remained expressionless and said something indifferently.

'boom'

His aura surged, and the Obsidian Sword flashed through the air like lightning, slashing towards Hengbo King.
