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

Chapter 31 Domain Lord's Golden Sword
Virtual universe, the killing field of the Qianwu Continent.

An ordinary battle between domain lords attracted nearly a thousand paying viewers. The killing field easily raked in a billion cosmic coins from ticket revenue alone, a figure that would make planetary lords envious.

However, this is frustrating for the audience who just bought tickets.

The battle ended too quickly!

That's ridiculously fast!

Many viewers didn't even have time to settle into their virtual seats before a flash of light appeared before their eyes, and they were forcibly kicked out of the viewing space by the system.

"what the hell?!"

"I spent ten million universe coins just to see a beginning and an end?"

"This is a fucking scam!"

In the killing arena hall, complaints and curses rose and fell.

Viewers who felt they had been tricked flocked to the replay section of the battle.

Then my blood pressure spiked again.

Watching the replay requires 100,000 Cosmic Coins?
"Damn it! This heartless Virtual Universe company!"

"Are you desperate for money?"

"So expensive, do you think our money grows on trees?"

Countless people were silently cursing the management of the killing field.

But despite the complaints, we still have to watch it, at least to understand it, so that we don't waste the money we just spent.

Fortunately, after purchasing the replay, it can be watched without restriction, but it cannot be shared. A powerful realm lord also watched the video and finally figured out the duel.

"The Crocodile King's defeat was not unjust. That Domain Lord named Li Feiyu was extremely proficient in the laws of lightning and could be considered a top expert at the Domain Lord level."

"So it was a duel between top experts. No wonder the killing field set the price so high."

"That Crocodile King has been arrogant for so long, but he's finally met his match."

"Haha, I really want to see what the Crocodile King's expression is right now."

"He must be filled with regret, regretting that he provoked that Two-Leaf Dry Wizard!"

……

Inside a meditation room in the killing field.

As everyone had guessed, the Crocodile King sat on the sofa with a blank expression and a face full of regret.

"Why would I want to provoke that guy? Ten billion, ten billion... that's enough to buy thousands of inhabited planets."

He never expected that his plan to fleece a fat sheep would backfire and cause him to lose all his savings.

"When did such a monster appear in Qianwu City?!"

Crocodile King looked at his account balance, which had decreased by 10 billion, and his heart was bleeding... Next time... next time he will definitely find out the other party's strength before taking action.

……

The battle continues in the decisive battle space.

The battle with the Crocodile King was just a minor incident; Lu Qingshan didn't stop there and continued to challenge the next opponent.

"You dare to challenge me after only one fight?" A domain lord covered in menacing black heavy armor spoke, his tone full of condescending scrutiny. "You've got some nerve!"

Lu Qingshan twirled his battle blade in a sharp flourish, and nine illusory figures crackling with lightning instantly appeared around him: "Whether it's courage or strength, we'll find out soon enough."

Before the words were even finished, lightning exploded!
The shrill sound of blades tearing through the air and the muffled sound of armor shattering rang out almost simultaneously!
The battle ended in less than a second. The heavily armored domain lord's figure vanished into specks of light in astonishment.

"Big talk, but his strength isn't even as good as the Crocodile King." Lu Qingshan flicked non-existent blood off his knife. "Is this the level of a seven-star domain lord?"

He continued to challenge several experts of the seventh star level or above, but no one responded.

"It seems that the level of my two stars is too low."

Lu Qingshan figured out the reason.

The matchmaking pool in the decisive battle space covers the entire Qianwu Continent, and the truly powerful individuals are unwilling to waste their time on a low-level newcomer. "In that case, let's start with opponents of the same level." Lu Qingshan adjusted his strategy, setting his sights on opponents who were also two stars.

This time, the challenge was accepted almost instantly.

"Not bad, you've won two matches right after arriving, but it'll all end here when you meet me."

Lu Qingshan glanced at the other party's ID: The First Domain Lord of the Qianwu Continent.

Let's take another look at the opponent's record: 12 wins, 198 losses.

"..." His lips twitched. This record... was he here to do performance art?

Faced with this novice, Lu Qingshan did not rush to use the Lightning Law, but instead relied purely on physical strength and basic swordsmanship to fight against him.

This exchange surprised Lu Qingshan slightly. His opponent's control over his physical strength was extremely exquisite, and his technique for exerting force was also quite remarkable, at least eighty times greater.

The reason for such a poor record is probably that he often fights opponents of higher ranks and challenges opponents with higher star ratings.

After fighting for about three minutes, Lu Qingshan swung his longsword, and an arc of light containing the fundamental laws of lightning tore through space, slashing down with unparalleled force!

"boom--"

The opponent's protective force was sliced ​​through like paper, and his body was split in two.

"What a pity. Compared to the understanding of the laws, everything else is nothing."

Lu Qingshan sheathed his sword and stood up, his record now showing three wins and zero losses.

He continued to issue challenges.

Soon, Lu Qingshan's level skyrocketed like a rocket, two stars, three stars, four stars... His winning streak accumulated like a snowball, reaching 175 matches in the blink of an eye!
The numerous decisive battles have greatly increased Lu Qingshan's practical experience. Before, he was fighting against himself in the killing arena, but nothing compares to the exhilaration of fighting against a domain lord of the same level now.

"Comfortable!"

After experiencing the thrill of frying fish, Lu Qingshan felt an indescribable sense of exhilaration. The pent-up anger from being tortured tens of thousands of times in the killing field gradually dissipated.

"Huh? Someone challenged me to a fight?"

Lu Qingshan glanced at the person and saw that it was a nine-star expert. Without hesitation, he accepted the invitation.

The battle takes place amidst ever-changing spatial scenes.

A man dressed in a plain white robe stood with his hands behind his back, calmly watching Lu Qingshan. His tone was indifferent and devoid of any warmth: "One hundred and seventy-five consecutive wins? That's not bad. Dying under my new move wouldn't be a disgrace to your record."

Lu Qingshan gripped his battle blade tightly, lightning crackling across its surface, and nine illusory figures silently materialized: "The last one who spoke like that was down in seconds."

Looking at the illusory form beside Lu Qingshan, a barely perceptible glint finally flashed in the eyes of the white-robed man with golden sword.

He didn't move, but his whole body seemed to melt into the surrounding space in an instant, becoming ethereal and uncertain.

Lu Qingshan's nine illusory bodies simultaneously lost their target!

Instead of attacking, Jin Jian commented with interest, "Your understanding of the Lightning Law is not far from gaining the recognition of the Origin Law. If you were to attempt the Heavenly Lightning Bridge, passing the seventh level should be a piece of cake..."

Lu Qingshan's pupils contracted as he looked at the proud figure in the void that seemed so close yet so far away, like a distant light-year.

“The fundamental laws of space…” Lu Qingshan took a breath and instantly understood the insurmountable gap between the two sides!

I was frying fish before, but this guy in front of me... is just bullying me!

"Very well, let me show you what a true illusion is." Jin Jian's voice was calm and even, yet it carried an undeniable authority.

The moment the words fell—

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

Thousands upon thousands of figures suddenly filled every corner of the battle space!
Some are clear, some are blurry, some are close at hand, some are far away, overlapping and intertwining with each other, as if one were in a world of countless folded and broken mirrors. Each figure exudes the aura of a real golden sword, yet carries the illusory and ethereal quality unique to the laws of space.

"kill."

A simple syllable, yet it carries a chilling murderous intent!
Lu Qingshan felt as if the space around him had suddenly transformed into billions of invisible blades, slicing through him from every inconceivable angle!

He didn't even have time to make any effective resistance.

My vision was swallowed up by a pure white light.

Before his consciousness faded, the last thing Lu Qingshan saw was himself being cut into hundreds of thousands of neat, tiny pieces of flesh, which floated silently in the void, decomposed, and turned into nothingness!
