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

Chapter 246 Acquired, King-level Pursuit
This is the strongest Vulcan Source Crystal.

Even he could very well perish from the force of the explosion.

The King of Burning Heaven's gaze fell on Cao Kui again, his eyes now showing a hint of apprehension.

The desire in their hearts also intensified.

The strongest Fire God Source Crystal is worth over 30 billion contribution points in the Nine Domains Alliance, which even he cannot afford.

This is something that Cao Kui, a mere Realm Lord, could never possess, nor is it something that would be found among the legacies of a typical King. Therefore... the treasure that Cao Kui obtained is very likely the legacy of an invincible King, or even, as rumored, the legacy of a Universe Venerable.

After all, only a Cosmic Venerable would have the opportunity to obtain Blood Crystal, a treasure produced by the Human Race's Hong Alliance.

"Cao Kui, I was just joking. Put this dangerous thing away."

King Burning Heaven chuckled.

He then tossed a box over and said, "The Source Blood Crystal Sand you exchanged is inside."

"Thank you, King Burning Heaven."

Cao Kui picked up the box, checked it, and confirmed that what he needed was inside.

Then he put away the Vulcan Source Crystal.

When the two were facing off, many powerful figures had already focused their attention here, and the Burning Heaven King dared not attack him again at this moment.

Cao Kui displayed the strongest Fire God Source Crystal, which could also scare away some powerful kings who coveted his treasures!
If this thing really explodes, even a peak-level King-level being like Burning Heaven King might perish, not to mention the others.

Obtain the treasure you need.

Cao Kui then closed the door and connected to the virtual universe within his inner world.

He immediately sent a message to his master, explaining the situation.

Then wait for a reply.

……

The distant human territory.

On a remote, uninhabited planet, the Ghost King's clone's pale skin turned light brown, and his entire body seemed to have dehydrated. Where there was once muscle, there were now wrinkles in circles.

The light on the two time compasses gradually faded.

The Ghost King's clone opened its bright green eyes.

The effect of this training was much stronger than the previous one, directly increasing the body's amplitude by 60 times, almost reaching the perfection of the fourth level of the Time Body.

As a drop of the Fountain of Life entered his mouth, the muscles on the Ghost King's clone gradually recovered.

He stood up slowly.

Feeling the changes in my body.

With 58 times the genetic potential and 60 times the body's vibrational effect... that means his current base strength is 3480 times that of a World Lord.

This is already a basic level of power for those who have been granted the title of Marquis, but they lack immortality and are unable to burn their divine bodies.

Of course, let alone those at the higher ranks of Marquis, even those at the peak of Marquis status would only face certain death if they encountered him.

The overwhelming power of the Laws, combined with Fermoo Venom, meant that powerful Marquis-level experts died one by one, and groups of them died as well.

As for a powerful figure who has reached the rank of King, it would be difficult to kill him, and it would be unlikely for him to kill the other party either.

According to his understanding of the laws, if he can't win, running away is still very easy.

"Cao Kui is in big trouble!"

Upon receiving the message from Cao Kui, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but frown slightly.

He didn't care about the immortal gods who were granted the title of Marquis, but the immortal gods who were granted the title of King were extremely difficult for his clone to deal with without the Time Overlord Armor.

Not to mention, that Burning Heaven King is a peak King-level expert... Given the genetic level of the Flame God Clan, being called a peak King-level expert might mean that their strength is comparable to the limit of the King-level.

After thinking for a while, Lu Qingshan made a decision.

"It's worth taking some risks for the sake of the Origin Blood Crystal Sand. As long as we don't fight head-on, even a King-level expert won't pose much of a threat to him."

Lu Qingshan immediately sent a message to Cao Kui, telling him not to leave Youlan Star, and that he would find a way to contact him.

After sending the message.

He was teleported to the Nine Realms Alliance territory once again, and his body gradually transformed into the appearance of an immortal god of another race.

Such disguise is so convincing that even ordinary powerful kings cannot see through it.

We arrived on the planet Youlan.

Lu Qingshan had already activated the detector ahead of time.

The system's detectors are extremely advanced; no other detector on this planet can compare.

Not far from Cao Kui's manor, two powerful auras of immortal deities were clearly visible.

"As expected, the Burning Heaven King was guarding the side, probably just waiting for Cao Kui to leave Youlan Star before making a move against him. This Yan God Clan really is a case of the upper beam being crooked and the lower beam being crooked!"

Besides the Burning Heaven King, there was another powerful king with three heads who was with the Burning Heaven King. The two were communicating telepathically, but the detector could not hear what they were saying.

In addition, the planet Youlan also possesses the aura of five immortal kings.

However, they seem to have given up.

Cao Kui brought out his strongest Fire God Source Crystal. These guys were only at the highest level of King, and they didn't want to die.

Moreover, with the Heavenly King of Burning Heaven involved, they dared not get involved even more.

Having figured this out, the Ghost King's clone no longer hesitated and headed directly to Cao Kui's manor.

"An ordinary immortal god? Is he just delivering goods? That kid Cao Kui has bought a lot of treasures these past few days, what exactly is he up to?"

The Burning Heaven King's detectors were constantly monitoring Cao Kui.

Beside him was a powerful king with three heads.

"Suspended in mid-air... that Fire God Source Crystal is too powerful. Even I dare not approach it. But you only need to penetrate it with your soul to easily kill it! We will split the treasures we obtain 30/70."

"Heh, King Burning Heaven, you're ruthless enough to scheme against even the geniuses of your own clan."

One of the three wolf heads made a sound.

"Kongxuan, you're no better. Stop arguing. You were the one who made the move this time. What does it have to do with me? I can only guarantee that the Yanshen Clan won't hunt you down."

"The Burning Heaven King said coldly."

"Hehe, don't worry. A mere World Lord level brat, especially one from your Flame God Clan, must have a very weak soul and will. I will first use an illusion, which he won't be able to detect at all. My soul infiltration will kill him without him even realizing it. Even if he has the Fire God Source Crystal, he won't be able to use it."

The King of the Void spoke with a smile.

"Hmph." King Fen looked at the boy on the monitor, a ruthless expression flashing in his eyes.

"This idiot thinks that with the strongest Fire God Source Crystal, no one will dare to touch him. Little does he know the methods of a true expert. Just wait, I don't believe he'll stay hidden forever." However, at this very moment...

The image on the monitor suddenly disappeared.

"wrong!"

Burning Heaven King was slightly surprised. The fact that the other party's detector could block his meant that the detector was more advanced than his.

If Cao Kui did obtain the legacy of the Cosmic Venerable, perhaps he really does possess advanced detectors, but that doesn't make sense... If he did have them, why didn't he use them before? Could it be from that immortal god from earlier?

"Hover over there and chase after them!"

The Burning Heaven King roared.

As they were speaking, a streak of light shot out from the manor and soared into the vast starry sky.

Space blockade?

The peak of becoming king!

Just as he was about to launch the spaceship, Lu Qingshan felt the surrounding space being sealed off. Since he couldn't teleport, sealing off the space wasn't very meaningful to him...

The Ghost King's clone directly accelerated time on his body, increasing his speed to a terrifying limit, instantly leaving the pursuers far behind.

"Who is this person? He's Cao Kui's accomplice, and he's incredibly fast!"

King Fen was taken aback.

He knew that under the spatial blockade, the two of them would have no chance of catching up with each other, so he quickly dispelled the spatial blockade.

"King of Suspension!"

"I know, stop talking nonsense."

The instant the spatial blockade disappeared, a faint spatial fluctuation appeared beside the Void King. He vanished instantly.

Teleport!

Another peak-level King, probably the assistant by the Burning Heaven King's side.

Lu Qingshan had previously discovered the two of them through the detector.

"No matter who you are, leave Cao Kui here, and you can go!"

The Suspended King chased after him and said coldly.

The Ghost King's clone sneered, turned on a recording device and hung it in front of him before saying, "And who are you? How dare you assassinate a genius of the Yan God Clan? Aren't you afraid of the Yan God Clan's retaliation?"

"you!!"

The King of Suspension had not expected the other party to do this.

He hurriedly sent a message to the Burning Heaven King behind him. It was fine to assassinate the genius of the Yan God Clan in secret without being discovered, but if he were to assassinate him openly and it got out, the Yan God Clan would retaliate even if it was just to save face!

"Burning Heaven, what do we do now?!"

"King of the Void transmitted his voice."

"Let's see if we can take him down first. If we can't, then forget it. I can explain things to the Yan God Clan for you."

"I hope you keep your word."

The Void King snorted and continued, "Stop talking nonsense. When did I say I wanted to assassinate a genius of the Flame God Clan? You're the one sneaking around, probably up to no good. Stay here!"

The three heads of the Suspended King swayed, and an invisible, illusory force swept over them.

"Soul attack?"

The Ghost King's clone's expression darkened slightly.

The Palace of Souls suddenly lit up.

The soul attack slammed into the soul palace, and after several collisions, it slowly disappeared.

Fortunately, thanks to my willpower and the defenses of the Soul Palace, the soul attacks of most Kings don't do much damage to me.

"Time stops!"

hum!
The Ghost King's clone immediately accelerated and fled.

If it were just these three-headed wolf-headed monsters, Lu Qingshan might have tried to fight them, but with the Burning Heaven King watching from the sidelines, there was no need to fight them.

While using Time Stop, Lu Qingshan also used Time Acceleration to quickly create distance between himself and the two.

The opponent's spatial blockade not only had no effect, but also negatively impacted oneself.

The Burning Heaven King couldn't teleport, so he could only follow in a spaceship. The Void King teleported to catch up again and again, but before he could make a move, he was once again restricted by time stop, and then the other party quickly left.

After several rounds of this back-and-forth, even the King of Suspension couldn't take it anymore.

"Burning Heaven, there's nothing we can do! The opponent is too proficient in the laws of time; he must be a peak-level King. The two of us simply can't defeat him, and my soul attacks have no effect on him either."

The suspended king stopped.

"Who exactly is this person? Where did Cao Kui find such an accomplice?"

The Burning Heaven King looked puzzled.

"I don't know, but the other party obviously doesn't want to get entangled with us. Perhaps Cao Kui just asked the other party to take him away."

The King of the Void did not give chase; he knew that continuing the pursuit would be pointless.

Even if he catches up, soul attacks are completely ineffective, and physical attacks are useless. The opponent's time stop prevents him from getting close, and his instantaneous speed is far inferior to the opponent's.

"This bastard, bringing in such a powerful expert, isn't he afraid of asking a tiger for its skin?" King Burning Heaven snorted, then said, "King Void, let it go this time."

The Burning Heaven King glanced at the direction where the Ghost King's clone had disappeared. Although he was somewhat unwilling, he could only leave this place by taking a spaceship.

The Sky King frowned slightly and also teleported away from there.

They just left.

The Ghost King's clone was stationed in the void 20 billion kilometers away.

"They ran really fast. What a pity. If there was only one person left, we might have been able to try using Femore Venom."

The Ghost King's clone lacked powerful protective treasures and had very weak basic strength, only a few thousand times that of a Realm Lord. He was worried that he wouldn't be able to break through the defenses and would instead expose his true strength, which is why he didn't take the initiative to attack.

But if he were alone, he wouldn't mind giving it a try.

Especially that guy with three wolf heads—with three heads, his protective armor can't fully protect him. He might actually have a chance to kill the guy.

Fortunately, we got the item!

The Ghost King's clone arrived at a remote starry sky and had the Star-Eating Grass activate the divine kingdom teleportation, returning to the human realm.
