Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 266 Escape

The bounty was issued by the Black King in a very short time and is currently only circulating within the demon race camp. It has not yet spread to the other three major camps, and no one in the human race camp knows about it, so naturally no one in the Underworld Sea knows about it.

It doesn't matter!
The King of Darkness arrived with overwhelming force and murderous intent, seemingly intent on annihilating the Underworld Sea. The reason behind it was no longer important.

His eyes narrowed, and the information about the Black Curtain King that Cangjian King had described to him flashed through his mind.

The demon race camp, a powerful member of the 'Black Cloud' clan.

Possessing five times the genes of ordinary life, cultivating a secret technique that amplifies divine power tenfold, mastering the three major branches of spatial laws, creating a pinnacle technique long ago, possessing extraordinary strength, a top expert among those at the limit of the King level, and also known as the invincible near-King level.

What does it mean to be invincible upon being granted the title of king?
He possesses the strength to kill peak-level Kings or even limit-level Kings, but he cannot contend with any Universe Venerable. Therefore, he cannot be considered a true King-level invincible, but rather a near-King-level invincible!

Such a formidable enemy is difficult for even the Dark Sea to match, despite its recent significant advancements in strength.

In terms of secret techniques and understanding of laws, the Black King, who has reached the limit of immortality for countless years, is far superior.

In terms of power, with the blessing of five times the genes of ordinary life and a secret technique that amplifies divine power tenfold, the Black Curtain King possesses 5 million times the power of a peak Realm Lord, which is a full 50 times that of the Underworld Sea.

Even in terms of weaponry and equipment, the Black Curtain King surpasses many others.

The only thing the Underworld Sea can rely on is the ultimate movement technique contained in the flying treasure, the 'Divine Speed ​​Boots'!
The Immortal Ultimate Movement Technique allows it to hold its own for a period of time even against a veteran, invincible king like True King.

Of course, relying solely on the ultimate movement technique contained in the 'Swift Boots', he still couldn't escape the pursuit of the Dark King and would perish sooner or later.

and so……

"Teacher Cangjianwang, the King of Dark Curtains is trying to kill me! Please send backup immediately! Location...!"

His mind logged into the virtual universe, swiftly sending a distress message to King Cangjian. Without even reading the reply, Minghai took a deep breath, fully activating his "Ice Peak Divine Body," activating the "Divine Speed ​​Boots" rune, and then…

They turned around and flew towards the 'Demon Ridge Maze' where the Cangjian King was located.

With the void sealed off and teleportation impossible, the only option now is to rely on the ultimate movement technique contained in the 'Swift Boots' to escape as much as possible, buy time, and wait for the Cangjian King to come to the rescue.

'whoosh'

Driven by the secret runes of the 'Swift Boots', ignoring the 'Sealing' secret technique's effect of imprisoning the void, the Nether Sea transformed into a long rainbow and rushed swiftly towards the 'Demon Ridge Maze'.

If one tries to escape using their own movement techniques, they will inevitably be affected by the void's blockade, greatly reducing their speed. Like the Wind King before them, they will be caught up and perish at the hands of the Black Curtain King.

However, the 'Swift Boots' are a supreme treasure for flight. Once the secret runes are activated, they completely ignore the 'blocking' secret technique and can traverse the void without being affected at all.

Sensing from afar that the distance between himself and the Dark King was gradually increasing, Minghai immediately felt relieved.

This scene surprised the Black Curtain King who had been pursuing them.

"It actually ignored my void blockade? And it's even faster than me?"

Staring in surprise at Minghai's retreating figure, the Black Curtain King frowned in thought.

"By the way, according to the 'Kongqie' clan, the Blood Sword King can also use 'teleportation,' so he must have a flying-type treasure on him! Maybe even a powerful flying-type treasure!"

Having been famous for many years, the King of Darkness possessed extraordinary insight and immediately judged that Minghai possessed a flying treasure, which was either a rare treasure or a great treasure.

The so-called rare treasures are treasures that possess certain special functions, or even some of the functions of major treasures.

Rare treasures are few in number, but have unique effects; some rare treasures are even comparable to major treasures.

In the original timeline, the secret weapon 'Arm of Locking the Sky' that Luo Feng obtained on the Yanji Continent possessed the effect of 'sealing' secret techniques.

"A rare treasure that allows a high-ranking immortal king to use 'teleportation,' greatly enhancing their movement and flight speed, and is not afraid of being imprisoned by the void, is of immeasurable value, no less than a real treasure!" Thinking of this, Black Curtain King immediately made up his mind that he must kill Cold-Blooded King today, no matter what, to avenge Horizontal Wave King and seize that strange treasure from him.

It was already a top-tier expert among those who reached the pinnacle of the King realm, having earned the title of near-King Invincible. Not long ago, it obtained a medium-level attack treasure. If it were to acquire another extraordinary treasure comparable to a flying treasure, its strength would undoubtedly increase significantly once again, and it would not be far from truly becoming a King Invincible.

"The Blood Sword King is a king of the human race and is on good terms with the Cang Sword King. He must have already sought help from the human race's powerful forces. We must capture him as soon as possible, otherwise, once the Cang Sword King and other human race's powerful forces arrive, we'll be in trouble!"

Thinking of this, a resolute look flashed in the Black Curtain King's gray-brown eyes.

'boom'

With its towering body over thirty meters tall, countless golden flames rose from it. In an instant, the Black Curtain King's aura surged, and its flight speed increased dramatically, even surpassing that of the Nether Sea ahead.

In terms of flight speed, the Immortal Ultimate Movement Technique naturally surpasses the Peak-level Movement Technique.

However, as a near-king level invincible powerhouse, the Black Curtain King's movement technique had long reached its peak limit. With the addition of the secret technique that amplifies five times the genes and ten times the divine power, it was not much worse than the ultimate movement technique.

At this moment, burning divine power greatly increased his speed, instantly surpassing Minghai after activating the 'Divine Speed ​​Boots'.

"Oops!"

Sensing that the Black Curtain King had begun to burn his divine power, Minghai knew something was wrong.

He was merely a realm lord, lacking divine power to burn. Moreover, his movement technique required activating the 'Divine Speed ​​Boots' secret runes, not something he had mastered through cultivation. Even burning divine power would be useless for him.

"King Cangjian saw my distress message. I hope it's not too late!"

In his haste, Minghai sent a wisp of his consciousness to log into the virtual universe and saw Cangjian Wang's reply, which calmed him down a bit.

The 'Demon Ridge Cave' is only about eight light-years away from the 'Moon-Embracing Canyon'. It only takes eight teleports to get there in one or two seconds.

Sure enough, hundreds of millions of kilometers ahead, ripples appeared in space, and a burly man in colorful armor appeared in the air.

It was Cangjian Wang who rushed over after receiving the distress signal from the Underworld Sea.

However, the Black Curtain King, who was pursuing from behind, kept casting void blockade, causing the space within a hundred million kilometers to be constantly imprisoned. Even Cangjian King could not teleport directly to Minghai's side.

Therefore, even after discovering that the Underworld Sea was being pursued by the Black Curtain King, the Cangjian King had no choice but to obediently fly over.

One hundred million kilometers is a distance that would take light five or six minutes to travel. Without access to the dark universe, it would take Cangjian Wang more than ten minutes to arrive.

"The distance between me and King Cangjian is about 100 million kilometers. It would take us about seven minutes to reunite if we flew relative to each other!"

Trying his best to quell the oppressive feeling brought by the approaching Dark King from behind, Minghai quickly calculated:
"At Black Curtain King's current speed, he can catch up with me in about six minutes, but I possess the Immortal Ultimate Movement Technique. By moving around and stalling, and avoiding a direct confrontation, I should be able to hold out until Cangjian King arrives!"

Thinking of this, Minghai felt reassured.

The King of Black Curtains is strong, but he is not weak either.

Regardless, he now possesses genuine peak-level immortal strength and has mastered the ultimate movement technique. Even if he cannot burn divine power, he can still protect himself for a short period of time.

In terms of flight speed alone, the ultimate movement technique and the peak movement technique are actually not much different, but in terms of the agility of movement, they are completely different levels.

With his ultimate movement technique, Minghai was even confident that he could kill a peak-level King!

When he encountered those five high-ranking kings of the 'Qiongqi' clan in the demon camp, if he hadn't been wary of the Fire God Source Crystal in Qingfeng King's possession and worried that the other party would fight to the death, he would have made a move long ago!

Behind them, Black Curtain King, sensing that Cangjian King had arrived, coldly glanced at him with his gray-brown eyes, then intensified the burning of his divine power.

Today, we must kill the Blood Sword King and seize the extraordinary treasure!
