Swallowing the Stars: Ten Thousand Times Return for Taking on Disciples

Chapter 201 Arrival, Chains Locking the Sky!
The virtual universe is ubiquitous.

Even among the most precious treasures, or even the most supreme treasures, one can freely enter the virtual universe.

It's just a world ring; naturally, it can't stop Ward and his disciple from talking!

"Ward, what's wrong? Has something really happened to your disciple?"

"Ward!"

Seeing that his brother remained silent, both Black Dragon God Lord and his companion looked anxious.

That Lu Lingxiao is the son of Prince Lu Qingshan. If he dies, they will not be implicated, but their relationship with Prince Lu Qingshan will probably be severed.

“No!” Ward shook his head, looking at the two sides in the battle with an incredulous expression: “Ling Xiao is still alive. He said that his father put him into the World Ring. One of the two sides in the battle is his father.”

"What!!"

"How is this possible? Could it be that Star-Eating Grass?!"

The two were terrified.

They had all been to battlefields beyond the realm, unlike those ignorant immortals and realm lords from this region.

Of course, they knew the true nature of the two sides at this moment. One side was a Star-Eating Grass at the peak of the 300-vine Marquis level, and the other side, which was able to remain unscathed under the Star-Eating Grass's encirclement, was probably a King level being.

Either of these two could easily destroy the Black Dragon Mountain Empire!
"Yes, that explosion just now was an attempt by the alien race to assassinate His Highness Lu Qingshan using Lu Lingxiao's newly recruited genius disciple. Fortunately, His Highness Lu Qingshan discovered it and threw him into the sky. However, after the assassination failed... it's clear that the other side didn't give up and sent out a King-level expert!"

Ward's voice carried a hint of disbelief.

He remembered that ten thousand years ago, when Lu Qingshan attended the banquet of the Black Dragon God Lord, he was on friendly terms with them. But in the blink of an eye, ten thousand years had passed, and he was already able to contend with the immortal kings.

Although it relies on plant life, plant life is its most loyal partner and also one of its own strengths!

"An alien race, it must be an alien race!!"

The Black Dragon God was greatly alarmed.

"I've heard that there are some alien spies lurking in our human territory who would assassinate our human geniuses. I never thought it would actually happen."

Mondo exclaimed in shock, "The alien races are ruthless and cunning. Prince Lu Qingshan wouldn't..."

"It shouldn't be that bad. After all, this is in the heart of our human race. It's already quite an exaggeration for the alien race to send a King-level Immortal to assassinate us."

The Black Dragon God's expression changed slightly.

"However, we must get this message out and ask for help! Ask for help for His Highness Lu Qingshan!!"

Their exchange was only for a moment.

After learning the details of the incident, the Black Dragon Mountain God immediately entered the virtual universe.

The Black Dragon God Lord first extended a phone call invitation to a high-ranking official of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom and told him about the matter.

After all, he was the ruler of a middle-level civilization empire under the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, and had the ability to communicate with the upper echelons of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

He knew that Lu Qingshan was a disciple of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler, so he chose this place first!
Then, the Black Dragon God Lord posted a message on his dragon race's internal forum.

[Near the Imperial Star in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region, a top genius from the Primal Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe Company has been assassinated. The alien was likely at the King level. Any powerful individuals nearby or who possess the coordinates of a nearby divine kingdom, please come to their aid immediately!]

Afterwards, he issued an emergency mission in the lobby of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance.

Having done all this, the Black Dragon Mountain God took a deep breath; this was all he could do.

As a junior military commander with limited strength, even if he rushed up, he wouldn't be of any help.

"Black Dragon, is it true? A human genius has been assassinated?"

"Black Dragon, don't worry, let me ask my teacher."

"My senior brother seems to have left coordinates near your Black Dragon Mountain Empire. He's currently on the extraterritorial battlefield. Let me ask him!"

……

The dragon race is relatively united, especially when facing other races.

Besides, there's profit to be made from this!
If one can kill an alien race, one will not only gain the gratitude of a genius from the Primordial Secret Realm, but also the reward from the human race. Killing an alien spy within the human race is far more meritorious than killing ten enemies of the same level in the outer battlefield.

Therefore, many people are interested.

However, becoming an immortal king is a threshold. Most of the people that the Black Dragon Mountain God Lord can contact are just ordinary immortal military lords like him. They can only pass on intelligence and tell those who are capable to provide support.

……

Within the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, the mission issued by the Black Dragon God Lord also caused a sensation.

The news spread rapidly and soon reached the ears of some high-ranking officials.

"King of Annihilation! An alien race has assassinated a human genius in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. You have many servants; do you have the coordinates of a divine kingdom near the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield?"

The King of Desert spoke with some agitation.

"Nowhere in the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield... but there is a coordinate on the Qianwu Continent?"

King Ash Extinction showed a hint of surprise before checking the message.

A foreign king?
Upon seeing the hierarchy of the alien races, his restless heart was extinguished.

He had been severely injured in his efforts to revive his disciple, and he originally wanted to recover some health. However, the alien race that had been granted the title of King was not someone he could deal with. Once those guys made a move, they would go crazy and might self-destruct their divine bodies or use some other terrifying methods.

He is merely a newly appointed king; if he rashly participates in the encirclement and suppression, he might end up losing more than he gains.

"The coordinates of the Qianwu Continent are useless, King Jinmie. Let me ask the others if they want to come along."

"I'm not going."

"That!"

……

In the starry sky not far from the capital star of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, Lu Qingshan stood behind the Star-Eating Grass, his eyes filled with solemnity.

"The Immortal King is indeed powerful. Even though he is only at the initial stage of Kinghood, the Star-Eating Grass did almost no damage to him. If it weren't for the fact that the Star-Eating Grass is the most resilient of all plant life forms, it probably wouldn't have been able to stop him!"

"The teacher has replied. He has contacted an immortal who has the coordinates of a divine kingdom near the Black Dragon Mountain Imperial Star. He will be teleporting over soon. He told me not to hold back and that I can crush the Ancestral Tree Venerable's talisman if necessary!"

Lu Qingshan did not produce the token.

This thing contains a divine coordinate; as long as the Ancestral Tree Venerable is used, he can be teleported here immediately.

However, given the current situation, there is no need to use this talisman.

The talisman of the Venerable Ancestor Tree was his means of survival, so it certainly couldn't be wasted like this.

"Teacher, don't worry, I can handle it."

Lu Qingshan remained calm.

He still possesses the Thousand Vine Star-Eating Grass, so if it truly comes to a life-or-death situation, he won't care whether it's exposed or not.

The Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass had already quietly attached itself to him, ready to kill any alien king-level immortal who approached him. "Moyun Vine, you go too, help the Star-Eating Grass."

"It's the master."

The moment Lu Qingshan gave the order, the 216-vine Cloud-Moving Vine detached from Lu Qingshan and instantly transformed into a colossal creature comparable to the Star-Eating Grass.

Two enormous plant life forms cooperated to launch a strangling attack on the immortal king.

The Star-Eating Grass entangled and controlled him, while the Cloud-Piercing Vine devoured his divine body. Although the damage was not great, it gradually eroded his divine body, forcing him to use his immortality to recover time and time again.

"Damn it! This human genius deserves to die!! Why are there so many plant creatures?"

The giant, a powerful king, wore a ferocious expression...

"For my master!"

Hu Hu Hu.

Suddenly, intense flames erupted from his body. Under the strangulation of two peak-level plant life forms, he had no choice but to burn his divine body, unleashing a thousand times the power.

Boom boom boom.

The vines of the Star-Eating Grass were broken one by one, and several of the massive vines of the Cloud-Moving Vine were also smashed by his twin hammers.

however.

This damage is nothing to the plant's life.

The alien king knew this too. Even if he burned his divine body to ashes, he could not kill these two plant life forms that possessed immortality. He had only one target, and that was Lu Qingshan.

In order to escape the plant life, his divine body has been greatly depleted.

Just when he was about to see the light.

"Freeze! Imprison!"

The appearance of the Time Law almost caused the King-level expert to collapse, because in that moment of pause, the two plant life forms surrounded him again.

This time, one on the left and one on the right.

Countless vines intertwined, like giant star chains, completely surrounding the Immortal King.

Lu Qingshan was cooperating from a distance.

When the immortal king had the chance to attack him, he immediately used the laws of time to freeze and imprison him, plunging him into a desperate struggle once again.

The divine body continued to burn, yet the immortal king could never get within a million meters of Lu Qingshan.

Lu Qingshan merged into the void, using spatial teleportation to maintain a constant distance from his opponent.

Time passed minute by minute.

The aura of the immortal king continued to decline, yet he was still unable to get even a step closer to Lu Qingshan.

The time limit for the space blockade had expired at this moment.

He knew he had lost his chance.

The Immortal King once again burned his divine body, breaking through the defenses of the two plant life forms. This time, he did not attack Lu Qingshan, but instead turned and ran!

Yet at this moment.

The space was locked again.

It's even a thousand or ten thousand times more powerful than the previous lock-on.

A figure dressed in a red robe slowly emerged.

Those cold eyes stared coldly at the immortal king who was trying to escape.

"It's over!"

"die!"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom uttered only one word, and the body of the fleeing immortal king was shattered into countless fragments and disappeared into the vast starry sky.

Spatial strangulation directly obliterated all of his divine body!

"teacher!"

Lu Qingshan put away the two plant life forms with a smile on his face.

"I didn't expect that you could force him to run away with just two plant lives. It seems that even if I hadn't come, you wouldn't have suffered any damage."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom walked over and came to Lu Qingshan's side, looking at his disciple with a satisfied expression in his eyes.

Regardless of how you look at it, the fact that one's own disciple has been able to contend with an immortal king for so long without being defeated is already quite an amazing feat.

Throughout his long reign, the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom has only had two disciples who were granted the title of king.

"We can't say that. Who knows if the alien race has any other tricks up its sleeve? It would be safer to call the teacher over."

Lu Qingshan bowed to the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom before speaking with a smile.

“That’s right. You don’t need to be reserved in front of me. It’s fine as it is. You made the right choice. The alien races are full of tricks, and no one knows if they have any tricks up their sleeves. I feel more at ease coming here in person.”

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom nodded.

"Teacher, this time the alien race controlled one of my son's disciples and tried to kill me with the Fire God Source Crystal, but they failed. That's why this King appeared... By the way, that King should have a pretty good treasure on him."

Lu Qingshan glanced at the void where the battle was taking place; the space was shattered and in complete chaos.

"Oh?"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom gazed into the distance, and suddenly reached out, revealing a silver treasure that resembled a mechanical chain in his hand.

Even though the spatial destruction that easily annihilated the King-level Immortal still left some traces, this treasure still survived.

Then there were the two large hammers, which Qianwu also found from the spatial fragments.

There was nothing else besides that.

"These two hammers are just ordinary weapons for those who have achieved the title of King Immortal, and they are not worth much. However, this silver chain is very precious."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom handed both of them over to Lu Qingshan.

Then he said.

"Take it. This thing is called the Chain of Locking the Sky. It's a treasure of the Mechanical Race and is quite valuable. You might need it someday."

"Thank you teacher."

Lu Qingshan didn't stand on ceremony.

The two large hammers could be given to a suitable disciple in the future; the Void-Locking Chains would definitely be a valuable item.
