Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 256 Seclusion at the Bottom of the Pool
three days later.

Within the mountain valley, the blood-red, unique fruit, surrounded by numerous green leaves, begins to emit an alluring fragrance that touches the very soul.

Minghai and Cangjianwang, who were chatting nearby, couldn't help but sniff the fragrance.

"The 'Crimson Rhinoceros Fruit' is about to ripen!"

Looking at the blood-red fruit that exuded the fragrance of souls, King Cangjian laughed.

As soon as he finished speaking, dense, mysterious, deep red patterns suddenly appeared on the blood-red fruit.

As these deep red, mysterious patterns appeared, a strange suction force suddenly appeared, and countless cosmic energies roared in from all directions, surging into the blood-red fruit.

The aroma is becoming increasingly enticing.

The patterns of the mysterious runes became clearer and the colors became darker.

As the amount of cosmic energy flowing in rapidly increased, the color of the 'Crimson Fruit' deepened quickly, soon changing from deep red to purplish-red. The fruit swayed slightly, emitting a profound aura dozens of times deeper than before.

"The Fire Law runes have been formed. Nether Sea, put away the 'Vermilion Scale Fruit'!"

King Cangjian smiled.

"Ok!"

Minghai nodded. Those secret patterns were the embodiment of the Law of Fire. The purple color represented the completeness of the Law of Fire within, and also indicated that the 'Crimson Scale Fruit' was fully mature and ready to be harvested.

With a 'whoosh,' Minghai transformed his mental power into a sharp blade, severing the root of the 'Crimson Scale Fruit.' He then placed the blood-red fruit, whose surface was covered with purple secret patterns and which exuded the fragrance of souls, into a white stone box that he had prepared in advance.

After glancing at the smiling and unmoved Cangjian King, Minghai put the white stone box containing the 'Crimson Scale Fruit' into his world ring.

King Cangjian's direct relatives have long since perished, so he has no use for the 'Crimson Scale Fruit'.

As for auctioning it off for money, it would be completely meaningless to Cangjian Wang, who had reached the pinnacle of kingship countless years ago and accumulated a vast fortune.

Putting aside everything else, the spoils obtained from killing Hengbo King and Fengnie King three days ago far exceeded this 'Crimson Scale Fruit'.

So, since King Cangjian told him to put it away, Minghai didn't stand on ceremony.

"It's time for me to go, Minghai!"

Seeing that Minghai had put away the 'Crimson Scale Fruit', King Cangjian stood up, intending to leave. Before leaving, he instructed:
"I will be on the Qing'e Continent for the next 100,000 years. If you encounter any danger that you cannot overcome, you can call on me at any time!"

"Okay, thank you for taking care of me, senior!"

Minghai was overjoyed and quickly expressed his gratitude.

The Azure Continent is more than ten light-years away from the 'surrounding star cluster'. For a powerful figure like Cang Jianwang, he could arrive there in a dozen or so teleportations. With Cang Jianwang's promise, his safety has increased by an immeasurable amount.

Xiang Minghai nodded slightly, and the next moment, Cangjian Wang disappeared without a trace.

"so amazing!"

Feeling the spatial fluctuations left behind after Cangjianwang used 'teleportation', Minghai was full of praise.

Having the ability to teleport makes traveling and fighting infinitely more convenient.

Although he has already created his own top-level secret technique and theoretically has reached the peak of the King-level comprehension of laws, he is still a long way from gaining the recognition of the origin of the spatial laws and mastering 'teleportation'.

Looking around, Minghai took out the 'Neiying Pearl' and communicated with it mentally. A mysterious power entered his body from the 'Neiying Pearl'.

As this power entered his body, the aura emanating from Minghai rapidly increased, rising from the peak of Marquis to the initial level of King, and then from the initial level of King to the high level of King.

After thinking for a moment, Minghai did not continue to raise his aura to its peak to become a king.

When adventuring in the 'Star Cluster', a high-level King title is sufficient; anything higher would be unreasonable.

After all, under normal circumstances, no top-ranking king would travel around a star cluster.

"Let's find a secluded place to cultivate in seclusion for a while first!"

He put away the 'Neiying Pearl', ascended into the sky, took out the Firefly spaceship, slipped inside, and flew away into the distance.

After leaving the floating continent, the Firefly immediately began its space travel, entering the dark universe. Three hours later, it appeared several light-years away, above a floating continent with a diameter of about 10 billion kilometers.

Several days later, deep within a mountain range stretching for hundreds of thousands of kilometers, the Underworld Sea discovered a massive waterfall with a cross-section spanning tens of thousands of kilometers.

The waterfall plunges down into a deep pool thousands of kilometers in diameter below.

He could sense with his mind that the inner cosmic energy of the deep pool was dense and the undercurrents were turbulent, blocking external perception. With the strength of his mind, he could only explore to within 10,000 kilometers; he could not perceive anything deeper.

This deep pool is unfathomable, and it is home to many ferocious aquatic beasts whose strength rivals that of domain lords and realm lords, but whose intelligence is low.

'puff'

The Nether Sea plunged into the deep pool, descending for millions of kilometers before finally reaching the bottom.

Taking out the Obsidian Sword, Minghai dug a pit more than ten kilometers deep at the bottom of the pool, sealed the bottom of the pool with the excavated soil and rocks, and then expanded the pit into a huge space with a length, height and width of three hundred kilometers.

The cosmic energy here is extremely rich, more than ten times richer than the dwellings in the original secret realm. It is isolated by a deep pool, making it imperceptible to powerful outsiders. It is an excellent place for secluded cultivation.

First, the entire space was tidied up, and then the 27-28 kilometer-long, pointed-top, silver-white, shuttle-shaped 'Firefly' spaceship was taken out and placed in a corner.

"Xiao Xue, deploy detectors to monitor an area of ​​10 billion kilometers, while simultaneously blocking all external detection!"

After taking out the spaceship, Minghai gave instructions to the spaceship's intelligent control system, 'Little Blood'.

"Yes, Master!"

The intelligent system 'Little Blood' immediately began to set things up.

After handing over the monitoring of external information to 'Little Blood', Minghai chose a spot and sat down cross-legged.

'buzz buzz'

A pitch-black hole, ten meters in diameter, suddenly appeared.

Whoosh!
After the black hole appeared, a fist-sized, shimmering, crystal-clear ring called the 'Ring of Space' flew out and landed in Minghai's hand.

With his mind probing into the 'Ring of Space', Minghai was immersed in the boundless origin of space.

Endless mysteries flooded my heart, and my understanding of the laws of space continued to improve.

After creating a top-tier secret technique, his bottleneck in understanding the laws has been broken, allowing him to improve at will.

If one were an ordinary immortal king, even after creating a top-tier secret technique, although the bottleneck in their understanding of the laws would be broken and they could continue to improve, it would take hundreds or thousands of years to raise their understanding of the laws to a level comparable to that of the secret technique.

Even realm lords who are very close to the origin need anywhere from several years to several decades.

However, with the help of the spatial origin treasure 'Ring of Space', this time can be reduced by tens of millions of times.

Ten days later.

Minghai opened his starry eyes, which were filled with endless mystery, and he seemed to be the ruler of the void.

After a while, this strange state disappeared, and things returned to normal.

"I've reached the limit of my understanding of the laws. Unless I break through with a secret technique, I can't make any progress!"

Minghai muttered to himself as he tossed the 'Ring of Space' into the 'Blood Realm Passage' in front of him.

The laws of the universe are infinite, but the ability of life to comprehend these laws has an upper limit.

Having reached the current level of understanding of the laws in the Underworld Sea, mere comprehension is no longer sufficient to explore the origin. Only by creating a stronger secret technique can one continue to delve deeper into the origin under the guidance of the secret technique and master a deeper level of laws.

This is also the necessary path for countless beings in the primordial universe to cultivate to a high level, ultimately control the laws, and become immortals, cosmic venerables, or cosmic masters.

The idea that one can master the laws simply by comprehending them and become an unparalleled powerhouse is as absurd as a peasant fantasizing that an emperor can use a golden hoe to cultivate the land.

'whoosh'

A longsword, incredibly sharp with a vivid blood-red blade and an inky black spine, exuding a strong, bloody aura, flew out of the black hole and landed in Minghai's hands.
