All Heavens: Originating from Swallowing the Stars

Six months later, the virtual universe

"From a practical application perspective, the laws of space can be divided into three main directions: teleportation, strangulation, and blockade. They are like the three main branches of a tree, each of which branches into many smaller branches and leaves. If you can understand any one of these leaves, you can gain recognition from the fundamental laws of space..."

"Depending on the different characteristics of the five lower-level laws of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, their understanding of spatial laws will also have different emphases. For example, spatial laws evolved from the two fundamental laws of metal and wood are suitable for sealing, while those who are strong in the fundamental law of fire are more likely to comprehend teleportation, and so on..."

In the vast, independent space carved out from the virtual universe, Li Tuo sat cross-legged on a vast desert stretching tens of thousands of kilometers, holding a long battle sword in his hand, carefully stroking the law runes engraved on the sword.

This is a relatively famous weapon in the realm master circle, a fifth-tier primal force weapon, the Sky-Slicing Blade.

Ahead of him, the Lord of the Dark Sands, dressed in a sacred and solemn golden robe, was walking barefoot across the vast desert, explaining to Li Tuo the many changes in the laws of space.

"Just like me, I achieved immortality by relying on the Law of Earth. My specialty is spatial sealing. Now I have mastered the three sub-branches of spatial sealing. My secret technique, 'Sand Erosion,' combines the Law of Earth with various spatial sealing directions."

As she spoke, the Lord of Yousha flicked his finger, and the long, slender sword in Li Tuo's arms flew up and landed steadily in her hand.

Then, he casually raised his sword and slashed down.

"boom!"

At this moment, Li Tuo felt that the space tens of thousands of kilometers around him suddenly became countless times heavier. In his eyes, the flow of laws in the entire space became sluggish and slow. In such an environment, let alone fighting, even resisting this blockade would require a lot of energy.

"Ding!"

This heavy feeling lasted for several seconds. The Lord of Yousha lightly flicked his battle blade, then casually tossed the Sky-Slaying Blade back into Li Tuo's hand.

"This move is only a half-finished spatial sealing technique, far from being complete, yet it is already enough for me to suppress the vast majority of immortal military lords and to fight against ordinary marquis-level gods. Tuo, you try to cut it."

The complete spatial blockade is a profound mystery of laws at the King-level, which Li Tuo and his disciples cannot access at this stage.

"clear."

Recalling the sensation of the space being sealed off, Li Tuo raised his air-slashing sword, and then brought it down with a fierce slash.

"boom!"

With a single slash, the space where the two were located seemed to be instantly sunk into an abyss. Although the laws of space were still flowing, they were clearly subject to tremendous resistance and slowed down considerably.

"Snapped!"

This state lasted for more than ten seconds until the Lord of Yousha clapped his hands gently. Only then did Li Tuo take a deep breath and dissipate the suppression of the surrounding spatial laws.

"Very good, but there are a few areas where you haven't done enough, or rather, the sealing force isn't strong enough. You see, normally, spatial fluctuations..."

Lord Yousha once again took the Sky-Slaying Blade from Li Tuo's hand and began to depict the flow and direction of the laws of space with the blade as a pen. She spoke very cautiously, so much so that sometimes when Li Tuo asked a question, she needed to think for a long time before she could answer it.

Of the three directions of spatial laws—teleportation, strangulation, and sealing—Li Tuo excels most at spatial strangulation. After all, he inherited the legacy of the Giant Vortex Marquis. The Giant Vortex Secret Technique combines the two fundamental laws of water and space to exert a strangulation effect. Li Tuo has a wealth of practical and theoretical experience in this area.

In terms of spatial strangulation alone, even the Lord of Yousha Army had to admit that he was inferior to Li Tuo. In order not to mislead his disciples, she focused her guidance to Li Tuo mainly on the direction of spatial blockade.

After all, the Lord of Yousha was merely an immortal deity whose strength had been granted the title of Marquis. After Li Tuo became a Realm Lord, she could hardly offer any constructive advice on his cultivation.

"Taku, you should consider joining one of the five major powers."

After a long while, the lesson on spatial blockade came to an end. The commander of the Yousha Army handed the Sky-Slaying Blade to Li Tuo, his words carrying a hint of weariness and helplessness.

Since Li Tuo became the Realm Lord, the pressure on You Sha Army Lord has been increasing due to the bi-annual lectures he gives. She can no longer give him pointers as casually as she did when he was young, and she has to carefully consider every question he asks.

The immense pressure of teaching has led to some progress in the understanding of the fundamental laws of space by the Lord of Yousha Army.

"I understand, teacher."

Li Tuo sheathed his Void-Slaying Blade. He understood that even the Immortal Army Lord and the Marquis-level Immortals no longer had the ability to guide him. Only a teacher of a higher level could help him in the long run.

"It'll be soon. Once this matter is settled, my life as a free adventurer will come to an end. After that, I'll join one of the five major powers and embark on my future path."

……

Almost simultaneously, in the Cuilang Starfield, on the planet Waterdrop.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

The laser beams emitted by the E-class main cannon resembled a pillar supporting the heavens and the earth. The sounds of fighting, screams, and the roar of railguns blended together, and the flames of war burned in every corner of this planet.

The once magnificent and luxurious palaces were destroyed, the ubiquitous entertainment facilities on the planet were trampled into scorched earth, and warehouses containing hundreds of billions of tons of hallucinogenic drugs were blown up. The dense hallucinogenic substances shrouded the entire planet in a pink mist.

"Huff! Huff! Huff!"

On the ruins of a luxurious palace, several powerful individuals surrounded by the aura of laws gathered together. While carefully surveying their surroundings, they took the opportunity to recover the physical strength they had exhausted in the battle.

"Master! The entire planet Drip Water is sealed off by the enemy's force field device, at least an E7-level high-grade force field. It will be extremely difficult to break through by force." A burly man with a thick lion's mane, a World Lord-level being, spoke, looking at the middle-aged man who was being protected by the crowd in the center, and said in a deep voice.

"Damn it! You've sent out requests for help to others, and you still haven't contacted Boss Panxi?" The middle-aged man, a first-level Realm Lord mentalist, gritted his teeth and roared upon hearing this.

"No, not only can we not contact Lord Pansi, but 11 of the organization's 18 directors have been confirmed dead, and the others have fled to other star systems," the lion-maned strongman said, shaking his head.

"Damn it, who is targeting our Fire Phoenix Group!" The middle-aged man trembled with rage, but then an overwhelming fear surged into his heart.

Six months ago, Pansy, the leader of their Fire Phoenix Group, suddenly lost all contact. Less than a month later, the interstellar black market issued a bounty on the slave trade organization "Fire Phoenix Group".

The Fire Phoenix Group has eighteen directors, each with a bounty of 10 trillion cosmic coins, and a bounty of 1 trillion cosmic coins for each important stronghold!

From that day on, the Fire Phoenix Group's nightmare began.

It's important to understand that the total value of an ordinary peak Realm Lord is only around 10 trillion Universe Coins. Now, killing a director of the Fire Phoenix Group can yield 10 trillion Universe Coins, and even destroying an important stronghold of the Fire Phoenix Group can yield 1 trillion Universe Coins. This is an irresistible temptation for Realm Lords in several nearby star regions.

Those who participate in this bounty are not just ordinary realm lords; even powerful realm lords recognized by the fundamental laws are willing to make a special trip to the Cui Lang Star Region for the sake of the cosmic currency.

In the past six months, most of the Fire Phoenix Group's hundreds of important strongholds have been destroyed, and more than half of the eighteen directors have died. Faced with those cosmic mercenaries, adventurers, and various world lords who are simply there to make money, the Fire Phoenix Group's proud intelligence system and network system are completely useless.

"Click!"

As he was thinking this, the middle-aged man suddenly heard the sound of metal being forcibly torn apart. The next moment, the dome of their makeshift shelter was ripped off, and a tall figure appeared in the middle-aged man's eyes, surrounded by a dense array of mobile artillery emplacements.

It was a giant dragon-man who was over ten meters tall, covered in dense, dark red scales, with a thick, twenty-meter-long tail trailing behind him. There was a crimson law mark between his eyebrows, and every step he took caused the earth to tremble violently, and the temperature rose rapidly at a visible speed.

Upon seeing the middle-aged man's appearance, the giant dragon-man grinned, a ferocious and terrifying smile appearing on his scaly face:

"Fire Phoenix Group Director 'Leaving,' right? I know you, a complete scumbag. You're unlucky to have fallen into my hands."

"Lord of the Molten Hell! You!"

The middle-aged man stared intently at the giant dragon-man, realizing that escape was impossible. He decided to unleash his full power, standing alongside several servants of the realm lord, and roared.

He was a Realm Lord-level Spiritual Master and one of the earliest members to follow Pan Xi in creating the Fire Phoenix Group. Through years of hard work, he had acquired several Realm Lord-level servants through his wealth and various means. He was originally fearless of ordinary peak Realm Lords, but when faced with this Realm Lord of the Molten Prison who was recognized by the Origin Law, he didn't even have a chance to resist.

"Hmph! Hahahaha!"

The giant dragon-man chuckled deeply. Despite facing multiple realm lords alone, he showed no sign of tension. Instead, he proactively expanded his domain, completely enveloping all the realm lords.

"One director, one important stronghold, and 11 Mixed Yuan Units—the Molten Hell Mercenary Group accepts them!"
