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

Chapter 209 Changes in the Time Compass

In fact, Lu Qingshan discovered this when the team was traveling a billion kilometers with the detector.

Little did he know that these people were after their Qingyu Squad.

Later, by listening to their conversation through the detector, they learned their target. By then, the other side had already firmly locked onto their location.

Otherwise, Lu Qingshan would not have thought of exposing himself.

However, the quota of military merits awarded in the extraterritorial battlefield has been completed within a century, so exposing some before leaving is not a big deal.

"Han Li, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that some alien race is attacking?"

Qingyu Hou hurriedly checked his detector and found that no alien race had approached.

However, the trust built up over a century made him believe in Han Li more than in his own detector.

Lu Qingshan looked up into the distance and said, "A squad of immortal gods from the mechanical race, one high-ranking Marquis and four low-ranking Marquises, are 8000 million kilometers away from us."

"what!"

Marquis Qingyu was shocked.

The dwarf and the burly man stared at Lu Qingshan in astonishment. Four powerful marquises were 8000 million kilometers away from them, so why hadn't their captain's detector reacted?

How did Han Li find out?
Could it be that Han Li's detector is even higher than the captain's?
Lu Qingshan continued, "One of them is called the Light Sword Marquis, and the rest are his subordinates."

"run!"

Upon hearing this name, Qingyu Hou did not hesitate at all, while the burly man beside him trembled all over.

"It's them! Our enemies back in the Thunder Islands, they wiped out our Azure Feather Squad, and now they've tracked us down here!"

The brute found it hard to believe.

"You all go into my world ring and run away now. It's 80 million kilometers away. We still have a chance to escape."

Without further hesitation, Qingyu Hou took the others into his world ring. Apart from Lu Qingshan, no one offered any resistance.

"Han Li, you..."

"I'm fine. My detector is more advanced than theirs. With me here, I can directly block their detection. However, this place has already been exposed."

Lu Qingshan spoke up.

"go!"

Without saying a word, Qingyu Hou rushed out of the stronghold and ran towards the military base.

Lu Qingshan activated the shielding function of the small detector at the opportune moment.

……

The spaceship sped along, heading towards the outer edge of the asteroid belt. Once they reached the transfer point, they could quickly leave this place.

Unfortunately, the alien race was right behind us. Otherwise, finding a secluded place and using the divine kingdom's teleportation would have been the best solution!

However, teleporting to the divine kingdom takes time, and this is the Shattered Star Belt, where enemies can be encountered everywhere. If the location of the divine kingdom is exposed, the consequences will be even more troublesome.

"Han Li, where are they?"

"Lord Qingyu asked."

"They're still ten million kilometers away from where we were before. They've sped up because they must have realized the target had disappeared, and that's why they're getting anxious."

Lu Qingshan's large-scale detector is worth 6 billion points, which would require 10 billion mixed units in the outside world. It is more advanced than most detectors that have reached the King level or Immortal level. Every move of the mechanical race team is under his control.

"Thank goodness... Han Li... you kept it a secret too well. Your detector is probably more than ten times more advanced than mine."

Qingyu Hou was shocked. Even if he was stupid, he would know that Han Li in front of him was definitely not an ordinary World Lord general. With such a high-end detector, he must be a core World Lord genius of the major human forces. No wonder his strength was so much greater than others.

"Ten times... about right." Lu Qingshan didn't want to discourage him too much, so he didn't mention the specific value of his detector.

"They've reached their destination and haven't found us... They went and slaughtered an immortal squad of a human ally..."

Lu Qingshan frowned slightly, a flash of anger in his eyes.

For a century in the Shattered Star Belt, the Azure Feather Squad had formed an alliance with several nearby squads, but unexpectedly, it was because of the Azure Feather Squad that they were implicated.

When Qingyu Hou learned that the squad had been wiped out, he remained silent for a long time.

"It's my fault. I shouldn't have provoked such a powerful enemy. Not only did it harm so many teammates, but it even harmed the allies of the Shattered Star Belt..."

"Slaying alien races is our duty, there's no right or wrong in it. But next time, the name of the Azure Feather Squad will probably have to be changed."

Lu Qingshan offered a word of comfort.

Their exposure this time was most likely due to the team's name. The machine race is more united than humans, and they communicate frequently with each other. They would have had the opportunity to know that there was a Azure Feather team in the Shattered Star Zone. If they were given specific characteristics, they would be easily discovered.

However, Qingyu Hou and his group did not expect that the other side was so determined, fighting their way from the eighth battlefield to the seventh battlefield to seek revenge.

About half a day later, they finally arrived at the nearest shuttle point.

Upon arriving here, Qingyu Hou breathed a sigh of relief.

"Han Li, we owe you a lot. If it weren't for you, our Qingyu team would probably have been wiped out."

Qingyu Hou knew how dangerous this time was for them.

A high-ranking marquis and four low-ranking marquises suddenly attacked, catching them completely off guard. If Han Li hadn't discovered them, he would probably be the only one in the group who had a chance of survival.

It's just a chance, and there's no guarantee he'll survive. Although he's immortal, after they escaped last time, the mechanical race's enemies will definitely be prepared this time. With the mechanical race's methods, they might have a chance to kill him.

"You're welcome. We're brothers in the same team."

Lu Qingshan said with a smile.

However, his expression quickly changed slightly.

"That Lightsaber Lord is furious. He wants to annihilate all the human squads around him and then leave the Seventh Battlefield. I've already sent danger warnings to the nearest squads..."

"These mechanical trash!!"

Marquis Qingyu was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

A ruthless glint flashed in Lu Qingshan's eyes. He had taken the initiative to back down, but he didn't expect to be slaughtered by this group of guys. A combination of one high-level Marquis and four low-level Marquises was almost impossible for any human team to resist in the Shattered Star Zone. Even if human experts came to support them, it would take some time.

"Qingyu, do you dare to touch it?"

Lu Qingshan suddenly asked.

"you……"

Marquis Qingyu was astonished.

"Let the brutes return to the barracks first. The two of us will go and support the others, at least hold them off a few until the human experts arrive, then we can wipe them out."

Lu Qingshan spoke slowly.

"I'm fine, but you... Han Li, is your safety more important? Revenge is something you can do anytime!"

After guessing Han Li's identity, Qingyu Hou knew how important it was for the other party's safety.

"I'm fine... An Immortal Marquis can't kill me. I possess the strength of an Immortal Marquis, but I'm not immortal. Moreover, I have a Star-Eating Grass at the peak of the Marquis level. Add you to that, and we have the combat power of three Marquises!"

Lu Qingshan said slowly.

Qingyu Hou looked at Lu Qingshan in disbelief. Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, flames rose in his eyes: "Let's do it. I've already sent out a distress call. As long as we hold them off until the human experts arrive, they're doomed."

After learning of Lu Qingshan's trump card, Qingyu Hou quickly made a decision: he would not be at peace if those human teams were slaughtered because of him.

Besides, these people are his mortal enemies!
He quickly released the brute and his men.

"You brutes, you should go back to the barracks first."

"Boss, you and Han Li..."

"We have other things to do, so don't dawdle. Follow orders and go back to rest. You are not allowed to leave the base until you receive my message."

Marquis Qingyu spoke cautiously.

Then he handed the spaceship over to the five men, including the burly man.

The burly men looked at Qingyu Hou and Han Li with flickering eyes, as if they had guessed something. However, Qingyu Hou's resolute appearance made them dare not speak.

"Boss, take care!"

"Boss, Han Li, we're waiting for you to come back."

"go!"

Watching the burly man and his group leave from the shuttle point, Lu Qingshan released the metal spaceship 'Void Ship'.

The Void Ship's level has already exceeded the F9 limit, but it hasn't reached the higher G level.

However, in the asteroid belt, such spaceships do not need to follow any rules at all and can rampage recklessly. The Void Ship looks like an ordinary spaceship, and it does not dodge the star fragments at all, smashing them directly to pieces.

This caused Qingyu Hou on the spaceship to gasp in shock.

He also owns an F-class spaceship, but compared to Lu Qingshan's spaceship, the gap is too great.

"Boss, we've locked onto the target. They're expected to arrive in half an hour."

Xiao Jin's body appeared.

"Metal Life".

Marquis Qingyu was astonished.

Lu Qingshan said, "This is the F9 spaceship that integrates metal life forms. In terms of combat power, it can be compared with a Marquis."

Qingyu Hou was at a loss for words. The core genius he had guessed actually possessed the combat power of three marquises. It was likely that Han Li was just an alias.

"With this spaceship, our chances of success have increased."

Qingyu Hou took a deep breath.

Four against five.

As long as we can hold off these beasts until the human experts arrive, we can kill them.

Not only can he resolve his own crisis, but he can also avenge his former teammates!
Thinking of the tragic deaths of his teammates who had been with him for thousands of years on the Thunder Islands, Qingyu Hou's blue wings trembled involuntarily.

The Void Ship rapidly approached, 5000 million kilometers, 4000 million kilometers, 3000 million kilometers...

As they approached their destination, a gray suit of armor appeared on Lu Qingshan's body.

At the same time, his aura completely changed. The aura of a world lord on his body completely disappeared, and he looked no different from an immortal god.

Qingyu Hou was surprised to see Lu Qingshan's change, but he quickly understood that Han Li probably wanted to disguise himself as an immortal god to fight. After all, it was too exaggerated for a world lord to have the combat power of an immortal marquis, which would probably attract the encirclement and killing by the demon race and the insect race.

However, Han Li's disguise was too terrifying. If he hadn't seen the changes in the other party with his own eyes, he would definitely have thought that there was an immortal god beside him.

……

Ten million kilometers away.

A spaceship was fleeing at high speed, with a silver-glowing F-class mechanical ship in hot pursuit behind it. Although both were traveling at sub-light speed, the mechanical ship was more agile and could easily smash smaller stars, making evasion much easier. As a result, the two ships were closing in on each other.

On the mechanical race's spaceship, a handsome man covered in metal looked indifferently at the spaceship in front of him.

Behind him, he carried a huge lightsaber.

"Damn human Qingyu Hou, how did he discover us and even block my detection?"

Lord Guangjian was somewhat puzzled.

He learned of the news by chance and prepared to come to the Seventh Battlefield. He thought there would be no surprises this time, but before he could get close, the other party disappeared from his detector.

Keep in mind that his detector is worth tens of millions of units.

Unable to eliminate the Qingyu Squad and unable to vent his anger, he turned his attention to these human squads.

This is already the fifth squad being hunted. Anyway, once he finishes this job, he'll leave and won't be targeted by humans in the Seventh Battlefield anymore.

A cold smile flashed across the mechanical eyes of the Lightsaber Marquis.

"My dear brother, don't worry. He may have escaped this time, but I will still avenge you. Who told you to have such a doting father? Even if not for you, I would still kill the human Qingyu Marquis because of your father's favor!"

……

……

"Damn it, where did this Immortal Marquis Squad come from? They've wiped out several human squads in a row. If it weren't for the mysterious 'Gray Robe' warning us, we probably would have been finished too."

On the E9 spaceship, a human immortal god, leading a squad of seven realm lords, nervously looked behind him.

"Boss, something's wrong! What's that?!"

Suddenly, a human realm lord saw the spaceship behind him flashing a blue light.

The immortal god was terrified: "Oh no, it's a planet-destroying cannon! Get out of the way, get out of the way right now!"

The F-class mechanical ship carries three planet-destroying cannons.

Three blue lights appeared.

Suddenly, a massive burst of energy erupted.

"Get away!!"

The immortal god roared loudly, and the spaceship's intelligent system was calculating the best possible evasive maneuver.

They narrowly dodged two planet-destroying shots, but the last one still hit their ship.

With just one shot, the E-class spaceship was completely destroyed. Fortunately, the human immortal god's spaceship had a rest room made of F-class ore, which barely withstood the impact. He quickly put all the team members into the world ring.

When he reappeared, the color of his head had changed.

"Thunder Prison!"

The immortal human god looked at the purple lightning in the sky, a look of despair in his eyes.

He finally understood why none of the other squads had survived: the mechanical race's Marquis had actually purchased the Thunder Prison, a terrifying mechanical weapon.

The Thunder Prison is a powerful weapon with a strong ability to trap enemies. The lightning it emits is like a series of strong chains that trap enemies inside. Even those who have reached the rank of Marquis and are immortal will find it difficult to escape from it.

He was merely an immortal military lord.

"You mechanical scum, you've been slaughtering people in the Shattered Star Belt. We, the human warriors, will arrive soon. Even if I die, you won't get away with it."

"Heh... If we kill you, we'll leave the Seventh Battlefield. How can you human powerhouses kill me? Besides, do you even know who we are?"

A cold, stern voice echoed from outside the Thunder Prison.

Then a sword light slashed down fiercely.

The immortal human god hurriedly dodged, but within the Thunder Prison, his space to move was extremely limited, and the space was constantly being compressed. Although the sword did not hit him head-on, it still severed one of his arms.

"Not bad, you managed to dodge one of my swords. I wonder how many times you can dodge it?"

Another sword light slashed down.

The immortal human god's newly restored divine body shattered once more; his face was pale, and his divine body suffered severe damage...

The Immortal Army Lord is not immortal; his divine body has been shattered several times, causing him serious damage.

The Thunder Prison continued to shrink, and despair filled his face...

"I, the immortal human god Kabul, am being ambushed and killed by the Machine Race's Immortal Squad at coordinates XX in the Shattered Star Belt. My opponents possess the Thunder Prison and their weapon is a sword. Please avenge me!"

However, just after Kabul finished writing his last words, with a loud boom, the Thunder Prison suddenly suffered a severe blow, and a huge gap appeared above it.

"Kabul, get out of here!"

The Azure Feather Marquis with azure wings stood atop, with an immortal deity dressed in gray armor beside him.

"Lord Qingyu...this one..."

Kabul was overjoyed. He had thought he was going to die and had even sent his last words, but unexpectedly, reinforcements arrived so quickly. Without hesitation, he crawled out through the opening above.

They soon arrived outside the Thunder Prison.

The Thunder Prison is heavily fortified internally, making it difficult for even those at the Marquis level or Immortal level to break through. However, from the outside, even someone as lowly as the Marquis Qingyu easily managed to create a breach.

However, that was all. The Thunder Prison quickly recovered and began to spread outwards, encircling Qingyu Hou and Lu Qingshan.

After seeing Qingyu Hou, the Mechanical Race Lightsaber Marquis lost interest in that human immortal god.

"Lord Qingyu, you killed my beloved brother, yet you dare to show your face again. I'm very curious, how did you manage to evade my detection?"

"Dead people don't need to know that much."

"Qingyu Hou said coldly."

"I had originally planned to kill a few human squads and then leave, but I didn't expect you to show up. So, all I need to do is kill you."

Lord Guangjian snorted coldly.

His four noble and immortal subordinates immediately dispersed and surrounded the two of them.

The four marquises each took out a mechanical weapon, and the Thunder Prison suddenly erupted, expanding more than a hundredfold in an instant, enveloping both Qingyu Marquis and Lu Qingshan within it.

"The Four Directions Thunder Prison is an upgraded version of the Thunder Prison. I let you escape last time, but this time I'm going to go to great lengths to kill you."

The Light Sword Marquis snorted coldly, and his massive metal body appeared before the two of them. He glanced at Lu Qingshan.

"It's one thing to send yourself to your death, but to take a little one with you too."

Lu Qingshan, who is less than two meters tall, is indeed a small guy in front of this nearly ten-meter-tall metal body.

"How to do?"

Qingyu Hou's expression was solemn. If Lu Qingshan hadn't been there, he wouldn't have been confident in facing the Four Directions Thunder Prison.

"I'll kill the one on the left, the Immortal Marquis, first. You can hold off the Light Sword Marquis for a moment."

"no problem."

The exchange between the two lasted only a moment.

In an instant, Lu Qingshan appeared on the left side of the Four Directions Thunder Prison, where an immortal deity of the initial rank of Marquis was stationed.

With his defenses greatly enhanced as he held the reins of the Four Directions Thunder Prison, he was completely unfazed by Lu Qingshan.

He was already a marquis and possessed an immortal body, so he didn't believe that this human in gray armor could harm him.

Lu Qingshan didn't waste any time and directly used the Green Mountain Saber Technique, the second move, Thousand Stars Overlapping Waves!
"boom!!"

A single strike landed on the body of the Mechanical Race's Immortal Lord.

"Your attacks are too weak to hurt me at all!"

The Immortal of the Machine Race laughed heartily.

However, he soon stopped laughing, because after that move, a continuous barrage of attacks came again, layer upon layer, ten layers in total. Even though he was a Marquis and Immortal, his divine body was shattered, but it was nothing to him who possessed an immortal body.

However, another unexpected discovery was made.

Right after he condensed his immortal divine body, a giant 300-vine Star-Eating Grass appeared. The enormous vines of the Star-Eating Grass stirred the void and forcibly wrapped up a large chunk of his divine body, swallowing it into his body.

This caused the Immortal Lord Fenghou, who had once again condensed his divine body, to change his expression drastically.

"A plant life at the peak of the Marquis level!"

he roared loudly.

However, the Star-Eating Grass soon wrapped him up in countless vines. The Star-Eating Grass at the peak of the Marquis level, with its countless vines forming a prison, was no less powerful than the Four Directions Thunder Prison.

"help me!"

The Mechanical Race's Immortal Marquis cried out in terror for help, because the Star-Eating Grass at the peak of the Marquis level was enough to gradually erode his entire divine body.

"Lord of Light Sword, where are you going? Your opponent is me!"

The Light Sword Marquis's expression changed drastically, and he prepared to rescue his subordinates, but was stopped by the Azure Feather Marquis.

"Go away!"

A flash of sword light swept past.

Qingyu Hou also launched a counterattack, and the two collided fiercely. Although Guangjian Hou was a high-ranking marquis, it was impossible for him to kill Qingyu Hou on his own. Moreover, the Four Directions Thunder Prison had been damaged in one corner and could no longer cooperate with him to suppress the opponent.

"Lord of the Light Sword, your opponent is me!"

"asshole!"

Seeing Guangjian Hou's exasperated state, Qingyu Hou felt extremely satisfied. The more miserable he was chased back in Tianlei Islands, the more satisfying it was now.

On Lu Qingshan's side.

After being trapped by the Star-Eating Grass, it meant that his death was imminent.

A thousand times the power of a realm lord, 16 times the body's amplitude, the Banyan Wood Divine Blade!

This time, Lu Qingshan no longer concealed his strength and rushed into the Star-Eating Grass vines. Although the Star-Eating Grass could gradually wear down his opponent, that would be too slow, and Lu Qingshan did not want to do that.

"Go and save the mullet!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Guangjian Hou hurriedly ordered his other subordinates to rescue his men.

But it's too late.

"The Milky Way is beginning to appear!"

An extremely fast blade of light slashed fiercely into the back of Feng Hou Bu Xiu.

They cleaved him in two.

"How is that possible? My divine body was 8% destroyed in one move."

The mechanical race member named Guizi's expression changed drastically. However, before he could condense his divine body, the Star-Eating Grass devoured a portion of his divine body.

His newly formed immortal body was now firmly bound by the Star-Eating Grass.

"A thousand stars rise in waves!"

"Puff puff puff!!"

With the basic strength of a beginner-level King, combined with top-tier swordsmanship, this move directly shattered the immortal divine body of a Marquis, making it impossible for him to reassemble.

This mechanical race member named Gui Zi was granted the title of Immortal Marquis, becoming the first Marquis-level expert to fall at Lu Qingshan's hands.

Just then... the reinforcements from the Turtle Serpent had just stormed in, and they were all shocked to see the Turtle Serpent's destroyed divine body.

The countless vines of the Star-Eating Grass merged together, blocking them from the outside.

"Murakumo is dead! Murakumo is dead!!"

The voices of several people reached the ears of the Light Sword Marquis...

After killing the immortal god who had been granted the title of Marquis, Lu Qingshan did not continue. Instead, he took out a compass.

"The Compass of Time..."

Lu Qingshan returned a valuable treasure from Chaos City. He had been struggling with how to accelerate the accumulation of erosion power, but now he seemed to have found a way.

Where the Immortal Tortoise of the Mechanical Race disappeared, strands of scattered special energy were absorbed by the Time Compass and transformed into a pale white, gentle power of time.

Seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Lu Qingshan's eyes.
