Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 288 Hong's Fortuitous Encounter
The magnificent and imposing Chaos City.

On the ancient and weathered city wall, a majestic being, 90,000 kilometers tall, sits cross-legged, gazing up at the sky and observing the threads of law hanging down.

After an unknown amount of time, the majestic being withdrew its gaze, took out a metal manual titled "Detailed Explanation of the Laws of Metal," and began to read it carefully.

"almost!"

After quickly reading "The Golden Rule Explained," the majestic being smiled slightly and muttered to himself with confidence.

Rumble~~~
The surrounding space trembled slightly.

A drop of golden water appeared out of thin air above the majestic being, and then fell directly down.

Tick ​​tock!

Golden droplets of water fell upon the towering being's head, regarding the physical body as nothingness, and directly seeped into it.

'boom'

As the golden droplets entered the body, the majestic consciousness was drawn by some immense power into the primordial origin of the universe, into the vast ocean formed by the laws of gold.

This majestic being has been recognized by the fundamental law of metal!

Brush, brush, brush!!!
Countless beings who were cultivating in seclusion in Chaos City noticed the abnormal spatial fluctuations caused by the descent of the Origin, and their thoughts probed over.

"It's him?"

"Is it the Underworld Sea?"

"This kid is actually trying to comprehend the Law of Metal?"

"So it was Minghai. With his talent, it's not a big deal that he received recognition from a lower-level law source!"

……

Those who were at the level of King Immortal or above immediately recognized the identity of the towering being, looked at the majestic body that was 90,000 kilometers tall with envy, and then dispersed one by one.

They didn't even consider the mere origin of lower-level laws worthy of their attention, but the enormous size of the Nether Sea made all the beings envious.

As ancient and powerful beings who have existed for a long time, each of them possesses extraordinary knowledge and understands what a body spanning 90,000 kilometers means.

Everyone could only feel envy.

On top of the city.

After consciousness was extracted from the primordial origin of the universe, Minghai smiled slightly, put away the "Detailed Explanation of the Law of Metal," and instead took out a "Detailed Explanation of the Law of Fire" manual, which he began to read carefully.

It only took one year to gain the recognition of the source of the Law of Gold!
During this period, he did not even visit the Chaos Monument related to the Law of Gold.

It's simply a matter of comprehending the threads of law exposed in the primordial universe and studying related secret techniques. The understanding of the Law of Metal will then advance rapidly, quickly reaching the point of being acknowledged by the source.

There's no way around it, his talent for the laws and his comprehension are just too high!

With a perfect compatibility with the laws, this "Child of Reincarnation," a rare talent appearing only once in countless cycles across three thousand primordial universes, coupled with a near-complete mastery of the laws of space, allows him to comprehend the laws of metal to the point of primordial recognition—it's all too easy for him.

What an ordinary realm lord might not be able to do in his entire life, he could do in just one year in Chaos City and three years in the Primordial Universe.

"Master, Hong wants to video chat with you!"

Shortly after taking out "Detailed Explanation of the Laws of Fire", the personal intelligent system 'Little Blood' suddenly reminded him.

"Hong is looking for me?"

Stopping his research on the laws of fire, Minghai separated a wisp of his consciousness and entered the virtual universe to accept Hong's request for a video meeting.

He spent a century venturing into battlefields beyond the borders, during which time Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen also underwent tremendous transformations.

The one who changed the most was, of course, Luo Feng.

Fifty years ago, Luo Feng was promoted to Domain Lord around the same time as the original timeline, and was subsequently sent to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom as a special envoy for inspection.

After returning to Earth, just like in the original timeline, he discovered the first level of the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual" and successfully cultivated it.

In addition, he received the corpse of a peak Realm Lord Zerg, worth 1000 million Mixed Yuan Units, from Xu Xin. Subsequently, at Babata's prompting, he enslaved the Realm Lord Zerg Queen left behind by Huyan Bo and used the resources left by Minghai to build a Zerg army.

In order to obtain more Zerg corpses, Luo Feng went to the garbage mountain and found the armor of the Flame God Clan soldiers and generals. He was then assassinated by an immortal god from another race.

Seven years ago, he gained the recognition of the origin of the Golden Law in the Golden Horn Clan and made initial contact with the Law of Fusion, which greatly improved his strength and allowed him to pass the thirteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven.

Coincidentally, Berlan also crossed the thirteenth level of the Skybridge around the same time.

Luo Feng's reputation soared after catching up with Bo Lan, a peerless genius hailed as "one in a hundred eras," and his close relationship with the Underworld Sea made him highly regarded by many beings.

Compared to the original timeline, Luo Feng passed through the thirteen levels of the Tongtian Bridge much earlier, thus entering the sights of the human race's high-ranking officials much sooner.

As for now, they should still be working on the highest-scoring mission for the Virtual Universe Company.

Thor has finally made it big.

Thirty years ago, when Thor was on his first dangerous mission, the guardian of the mission world, the Ultimate King Lei Jue Wang, discovered his identity as a Blood Warrior and immediately took him in as his personal disciple.

Under the guidance of King Lei Jue, Lei Shen's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. Not long ago, he passed through the ninth level of the Heavenly Bridge. Although he was still in the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, his understanding of the laws surpassed that of all the original secret realm universe-level members outside of Bolan.

Compared to Thor, Hong's performance was somewhat lukewarm.

More than a decade ago, Hong finally fused with the tenth Blood Crystal, becoming a rare Black Warrior, a talent that only appears once every few years.

Although his progress in cultivating the laws has been rapid since becoming a Black Warrior, and he recently passed through the eighth level of the Heavenly Bridge, he has not yet come into the sights of the human race's higher-ups.

Regardless of the circumstances, Hong will be able to enter the Primal Secret Realm in the qualifying battle ten years later.

Thor, even though he has crossed the ninth level of the Heavenly Bridge and his understanding of the laws surpasses that of most cosmic-level members of the Primordial Secret Realm, can only enter the Primordial Secret Realm from the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm unless he crosses the cosmic-level Primordial Heavenly Mountain. He cannot directly become a member of the Primordial Secret Realm.

virtual universe.

Minghai accepted Hong's video request.

brush!
A projection of Hong Sanwei, with black hair, black clothes, and sharp, gun-like eyes, appeared before me.

"Brother Hong, what brings you here?"

Minghai asked.

"Brother Ming, there's something that might be a bit troublesome!"

Hong frowned and spoke slowly.

"What trouble?"

Minghai asked indifferently.

With his current strength and status, the troubles Hong sees are nothing, no matter how big they are.

But as Hong explained, Minghai's brows gradually furrowed.

Having passed the genius competition early on and become a core genius of the virtual universe company, Hong naturally wouldn't experience the melodramatic love affairs that happened in the original timeline.

Some time ago, during a mission, Hong displayed a profound state of mind and a strong will, which caught the attention of a King-level Immortal named 'Illusion Spirit King' who specializes in illusion magic.

The 'Phantom King' greatly admired Hong and immediately gave him a test, asking him to break through the illusion he had created. He promised that if Hong could pass the first thirty levels, he would take him as his personal disciple.

The result left the Phantom King speechless.

Hong actually managed to pass through all 118 levels of the illusionary realm in one go!
The Illusion King was both surprised and delighted. The illusion he created could trap ordinary King-level Immortals, yet Hong, a mere cosmic-level little guy, was able to break through it all. What did that mean?
Suppressing his joy, the Illusion King sent Hong into the virtual universe to venture into the Illusionary Sea, intending to test the limits of Hong's talent.

Because of Minghai's reminder, Hong had never ventured into the Illusionary Sea for over a hundred years. This time, however, he was valued by the Illusionary Spirit King and decided to give it a try.

Unexpectedly, the legendary Illusionary Sea, which is said to test the mind and will of geniuses, was like flat ground for Hong, and he easily passed the first ten levels!
After passing through the tenth level of the Illusionary Sea, Hong remembered Minghai's warning and hesitated for a moment before contacting Minghai to ask for his opinion.

"Brother Ming, you told me not to venture into the Illusionary Sea for ten thousand years, and even if I did, not to go beyond the tenth level. What should we do now? Retreat from the Illusionary Sea?"

Hong asked.
