Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 140 Enslaving Alien Geniuses
Although the Thousand Islands Domain has more than 3,000 island continents, the most core are the 20 island continents numbered first twenty.

These 20 island continents range in diameter from 3 trillion kilometers to over 5 trillion kilometers.

The 20 continents are clustered together, like a giant round 'cookie' made up of many fragments.

This giant 'biscuit' alone has a total diameter of over 1.9 light-years, and the area within this 1.9 light-year diameter is known as the 'core area' of the Thousand Islands Domain.

Those who can operate in this core area are basically all at least at the level of a marquis.

Even if there are ordinary immortals, they are all at the level of peak immortal military lords, and they all have extremely powerful special skills.

Apart from this core area, the other more than 3,000 islands are scattered in a ring about 1.5 light-years wide.

These islands are much smaller, some only a few hundred billion kilometers in diameter, others only seven or eight hundred billion kilometers, like a lot of crumbs scattered around a broken 'cookie'.

After parting ways with the Balin team, Qi Yuan did not immediately choose to travel through the dark universe. Instead, he boarded a spaceship and flew at sub-light speed across island continents, heading towards the core area of ​​the Thousand Islands Domain.

The detector he is currently using was a custom-made detector costing 30 mixed units, which he commissioned before his second trip to the extraterritorial battlefield.

This level of detector is definitely up to the standard of some high-ranking officials.

Therefore, at the beginning of the journey, because he kept the detector's shielding function on, he was hardly harassed by any alien teams.

Qi Yuan traveled through the skies above the continents in his spaceship, while the screen of the detector constantly displayed images of the teams captured below.

At first, what he saw were world lord teams led by ordinary immortal gods, like the Balin team, or large armies commanded by immortal gods.

However, as they ventured deeper into the core of the Thousand Islands Domain, the detectors gradually captured a team composed entirely of immortal gods.

On this day, Qi Yuan was passing over the mainland of island number 1428.

Suddenly, his gaze was drawn to an image captured by the detector.

"Hmm? A Realm Lord? He's actually venturing out alone on Island 1428?"

His gaze held a slight surprise.

Previously, when entering the island continent area with the first two thousand numbered islands, the detectors could no longer detect the existence of world lord-level teams.

Upon arriving at Island 1428, the alien teams they encountered were all small groups of two or more Immortals, and occasionally they even saw many peak-level Immortal Lords.

However, on this very island where even immortal experts had to form teams to survive, a strange race with a cultivation level of only World Lord suddenly appeared.
"He must be a genius realm lord from another race!" Qi Yuan immediately became interested!
The battles between the various factions on the extraterritorial battlefield were extremely fierce, especially when it came to targeting the enemy's young geniuses, where the various factions used almost every means at their disposal.

Putting everything else aside, the military merit gained from killing a genius of another race is greater than the military merit gained from hunting down an immortal god!
In addition, these young geniuses each possess a large amount of life-saving items bestowed upon them by their elders and their own power, making them veritable walking gold mines.

Therefore, once such geniuses appear, they will immediately become the target of fierce hunting by the powerful members of the opposing camp!
However, Qi Yuan's interest in this suddenly encountered alien realm lord genius wasn't solely due to some military merits or resources; he hadn't forgotten one of his original reasons for coming to the extraterrestrial battlefield—

He attempted to enslave a group of alien geniuses to serve as 'tools' for the system's return!
"This alien realm lord hasn't detected me yet. It seems their detection equipment is of a lower level than mine. That makes things easier."

Qi Yuan smiled and immediately controlled the spaceship to slow down, beginning to slowly descend and approach a silver mountain range on the continent below.

According to the detector, a giant blue wolf with two heads is lurking quietly inside the caves of this silver mountain range.

"The Wind and Cloud Wolf is a branch of the Howling Wind Wolf clan. Its two heads can each unleash an attack that combines the laws of wind and water."

The moment Qi Yuan saw the image of the two-headed giant wolf, information about it automatically surfaced in his mind.

“Speeds that are naturally able to match two completely different lower laws are rare, and this Wind and Cloud Wolf dares to venture alone on Island 1428, so it must be extremely outstanding among the Wind and Cloud Wolf clan.”

"But the more outstanding they are, the more they suit my taste!"

The silver-white triangular spaceship slowly approached, soon coming within 100,000 kilometers of the hiding place of the giant blue wolf.

Qi Yuan, however, began to ponder the next offensive plan.

"Defeating them in battle should be easy, but how do we control them in the end? No matter which faction's genius they are, they'd probably rather self-destruct and perish than be enslaved. It seems we have no choice but to use that method."

call!
With a slight movement, he instantly left the spaceship and then directly stored it in his personal world.

At this moment, he was wearing a blue battle armor with hazy star markings and carrying a blood-red longsword on his back, which was the state of Shangqing's clone walking outside.

Since he could think of hunting down alien geniuses, he naturally had to guard against them targeting him as a core genius of the human race.

Although he didn't have any supreme treasures to conceal his aura, the 'immortal god state' simulated by his Shangqing clone through the talent 'transformation' could effectively solve this problem for him.

Normally speaking, a Realm Lord, let alone someone of exceptional strength, would be enough to attract the attention and pursuit of many powerful alien races if he displayed strength comparable to the peak level of an Immortal Military Lord.

But if he were an 'immortal god' himself, then having such strength would be perfectly normal, and naturally it wouldn't attract excessive attention from others.

"In the original story, the demon race caused Luo Feng a lot of trouble, hehe. Luo, although we have never met, we have long been friends. Today, let me help you vent your anger a little!"

With a wicked thought in his mind, Qi Yuan made no attempt to conceal his rapid descent downwards.

"Hmm? Enemies!" In the silver mountains, the two enormous heads of the blue giant wolf, which was over fifty meters long, stood up simultaneously.

"A human being dares to come looking for trouble with me?"

The giant blue wolf's pupils gleamed with a cold light, and then its entire body transformed into a gust of wind, instantly rushing out of the cave where it was hiding.

"Human! You came here alone, are you looking for death?!"

The blue two-headed giant wolf stood above the silver mountain range, its gaze fixed on the human figure that had appeared in the air.

At the same time, cyan and dark blue light shone from its two enormous wolf heads.

Both wolf heads had their mouths open—

boom! boom!
Two beams of light, one cyan and one dark blue, shot out, and as they drew near, they seemed to merge.

whoosh whoosh~~~
A giant tornado-like eye, hundreds of kilometers in diameter, formed almost instantly, enveloping Qi Yuan's figure within it.

Two forces, one incredibly viscous and the other incredibly sharp, instantly descended upon him, pulling him down and simultaneously tearing at his body as if trying to rip it apart completely.

"Hmph, ignorant humans, may you become Lord Theroy's military merits!"

The blue giant wolf's eyes were icy cold, and a blood-red, cone-shaped telekinetic weapon pierced through the air, instantly appearing in front of the human figure trapped in the tornado eye.

A blue halo rippled and flowed on the blood-red spike, as if it contained energy that could tear everything apart!

"This is the Wind and Cloud Wolf's innate ability? Not bad, not bad, its sealing ability is quite strong, but its telekinetic weapon attack is a bit lacking."

In the tornado-like sea of ​​cyan and deep blue, Qi Yuan's gaze remained remarkably calm.

An invisible aura constantly swirled around him.

He took a light step, as if passing through the interlayer of time and space, and the extremely powerful sealing tornado eye had no effect on him whatsoever.

The blood-red, cone-shaped telekinetic weapon's trajectory was twisted, inexplicably veering off course and flying away at a great distance from Qi Yuan's body.

"Hmm? This is the power of spacetime. No wonder you dared to come looking for trouble. But you're mistaken if you think you can suppress me like this!"

"Ho~~~"

The giant blue wolf below roared angrily and suddenly soared into the sky.

At the same time, two invisible streams of light shot out from its two huge wolf-head pupils. After absorbing these invisible streams of light, the original blue-green tornado sea eyes showed signs of transforming into the space-time domain, and its power suddenly increased by a lot!

At the same time, the original blood-red cone split into nine...
Nine blood-red cones were arranged and combined, and countless cyan law runes were instantly activated, forming a blood-red drill that looked like it was wrapped in cyan air currents.

"Ang~~~"

The blood-red drill whirred and spun, its speed instantly soaring to an unbelievable level!
scoff~~~
The crimson drill transformed into a streak of crimson light, seemingly tearing through layers of space, and shot straight toward Qi Yuan, who was entangled by the tornado sea eye domain.

"Heh, first the fundamental laws of wind, then the fundamental laws of water, and now a trace of the power of time and space has been incorporated. It seems this Wind and Cloud Wolf is truly talented, having combined its innate abilities with its understanding of the laws to this extent."

Qi Yuan's gaze showed not surprise but delight.

The stronger the Wind and Cloud Wolf's talent, the greater the benefits will be if I can successfully enslave it!
"However, if you don't have any other means, this battle ends here."

Qi Yuan sighed inwardly, then began to unleash his full power.

Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh!
His figure swayed slightly, and instantly, countless afterimages appeared behind him.

His true form, however, seemed to be moving upstream against the flow of time, and his speed reached its limit in an instant!

puff!
A dazzling rainbow suddenly lit up, and the two-headed giant wave that was rushing upwards seemed to have delivered itself to the door, and was actually split in two!

Then, before it could react in any other way, a figure with a face extremely similar to the previous human suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

Immediately afterwards, time seemed to be frozen in a vast area, as if someone had pressed the pause button; everything froze in an instant.

The air stopped moving, and the flying blood-red drill was frozen in mid-air. Its body movements and even its thoughts suddenly came to a standstill!

In this state of complete stillness and utter resistance, an extremely gentle and soothing soul fluctuation, one that inspires immense trust and affection, instantly broke through all obstacles and directly transmitted to the Origin Pearl within the blue giant wolf's body.

It was only a moment, but the blue giant wolf felt as if it had lived its entire life all over again.

But when all the dreams end.
"Owner!"

The blue giant wolf spoke respectfully.
