Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 164 Treasure in Hand
The membrane of the small world.

The two four-hoofed deer-headed beasts, which were extremely similar in size, appearance, and armor color, stared at each other, and were momentarily stunned.

In the blink of an eye, one of the figures unleashed an incredibly powerful killing intent.

"Aaaaah, you scum, you piece of trash, it must have been you, you must have done all of this, right?"

"You dare to show your face right in front of me? You, die, die!"

The real Blood King roared madly, transforming into a streak of blood-red light as he charged toward the imposter.

boom!
Without the slightest hesitation, Blood Glass King's divine power burned wildly in an instant, his aura surged, and the powerful energy caused the surrounding space to tremble slightly!

"Qiang!"

A layer of dark, cold claw sheaths instantly appeared on the surface of its four hooves, and the sharp claws seemed to subtly cleave the surrounding space.

"Die! Die! You scum, die!"

The Blood Glass King roared madly, its anger practically igniting the heavens!

Recently, rumors about it have been flying around among the powerful figures who have reached the King level in various factions!
Claims include killing three Limit-Earth Kings in a single battle, single-handedly suppressing a team of over a dozen Limit-Earth Kings from the Zerg faction, including the Heavenly Martial King, finding valuable treasures from a native spaceship, and even more outrageous claims like finding the corpse of a Cosmic Venerable.
A series of rumors spread like wildfire, instantly propelling it into the eye of the storm!

Not only have many alien immortals started to form teams to target him, but even some so-called 'allies' from the same demon race have been trying to find out his location, forcing him to be in a state of hiding and running away for some time now.

Even so, every time it arrived at a new hiding place, it was only a short time before enemies immediately followed and tracked it down!

In the end, it even severed all contact with the powerful members of its own faction, but the situation still did not improve.

Those people seemed to have a tracking device on them, chasing them from the outer edge of the seventh level of the abyss all the way to this position, which was now extremely close to the eighth level of the abyss, almost driving them into a dead end!
How could it not feel furious when it thought about what it had been through during this period?

At that moment, upon seeing the figure before it, it instantly understood—

The thing in front of me that looks almost exactly like it is the culprit that caused all my miserable experiences recently!

"Aaaaah, whoever you are, you imposter, die!"

Blood King's blood-red body flashed like lightning, and his ferocious claws, encased in chilling claw sheaths, swung violently, causing the space around the claws to shatter silently.

"So ruthless? He immediately unleashed divine power right from the start!"

The figure that was attacked by the Blood Glass King, which looked exactly like it, narrowed its eyes upon seeing this. With a sway of its body, it seemed as if time had reversed, and in the blink of an eye, it retreated tens of thousands of kilometers away.

This figure was naturally the manifestation of Qi Yuan Shangqing's clone, who had been wandering through the Time-Space Prison.

As he retreated, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"What a coincidence!"

Not long ago, in order to attract more alien immortals worth fighting, he used the Zerg mother hive and Shangqing clone to put on a show in front of several alien 'spies'.

Unexpectedly, during the retreat, they bumped into the real 'protagonist' of this incident.

At that moment, he felt somewhat embarrassed, like someone had caught him in the act of doing something wrong.

"Damn it, who are you? Why are you impersonating me? Why?!"

Blood King roared and gave chase once more.

"Ha, you're pushing your luck, aren't you!"

As Qi Yuan retreated, he grinned, and his divine power instantly ignited.

"boom!"

An aura even more powerful than that of the Blood King suddenly erupted, its invisible force causing the surrounding space to distort and tear apart!

His genetic level reached the limit of a hundredfold, and his divine body reached the level of a world lord by a full ten million times, making him comparable to the most ordinary universe venerable.

With his divine power burning, his combat strength soared a thousandfold, and the aura emanating from him reached a terrifying level!

"Ah, this aura... you're hiding your strength!"

The Blood King, who was charging forward, felt a chill run down his spine.

This aura... the opponent's strength is definitely beyond my ability to handle!
"Since they are targeting me, they must know me very well. I can't get entangled with them. I should retreat first!"

The Blood Glass King, in mid-flight, abruptly changed its flight path and, without the slightest hesitation, immediately fled frantically in one direction!

Its ability to grow from a bloodline-impure demon to its current king-level limit naturally requires a cautious and vigilant nature!
Although it hated the imposter with a passion, it wisely chose to retreat upon sensing the terrifying aura emanating from him.

After all, it is currently surrounded by a large number of alien enemies. If the battle drags on for too long, it could easily become trapped in a predicament from which it cannot escape.

However, whether it can escape depends on whether the other party is willing to let it go.

"Want to run now? It's too late!"

Qi Yuan didn't revert to his true form; instead, he charged forward in the body of a four-legged beast.

With his divine power burning, his speed reached its limit, almost tearing space apart.

"Space blockade!"

"Time pauses!"

Almost simultaneously, he unleashed two killer moves.

"Om~~~"

The fluctuations in space subsided quickly, and the flow of time also became sluggish.

The fleeing Blood King was like a still painting, frozen in mid-air.

Qi Yuan had thoroughly understood the two branches of space blockade and time stop more than ten years ago.

Over the past decade, through studying the Chaos Stele and delving into the newly acquired "Time and Space" secret technique, his understanding of the combination of time and space has continuously improved. When these two methods are used together, their power also increases dramatically.

No matter how strong Blood Glass King is, he is still only at the level of a King-level Immortal. Without any precautions, he will inevitably be hit directly.

"Boom!" Qi Yuan's four-legged beast form also had black claw sheaths on its hooves. When the Blood Glass King was controlled, there seemed to be a hazy phantom of the world constantly rolling and surging on its hooves.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling light, as if piercing through the darkness, burst forth and struck the Crimson-Armored Blood King!

Although his self-created secret technique "World" is described as a sword technique, it is essentially a close-combat attack method, and it is not difficult to use it with these claws.

"boom!"

A dazzling light shone forth, marking the beginning of creation.

A rainbow of light tore through the void and descended directly upon Blood King.

Peng!
The unparalleled impact caused large dents in the Blood Glass King's body, and his entire divine body showed signs of breaking apart.

However, a faint black sheen was visible on its surface.

Whoosh~~~
The figure of the Blood Glass King was thrown far away, and the effect of the time stop dissipated.

"Ah, time and space are being used simultaneously, and this attack... no, impossible."

The Blood King, now able to move again, looked in horror at the figure standing tall in the void.

In that last attack, its divine body was instantly annihilated by 5%!

Others may not know, but it knows exactly what this number represents!
Recently, rumors about it have been flying everywhere, but whether by coincidence or due to some hidden reason, one of these rumors happens to match the truth of the matter perfectly—

The Blood Glass King does indeed possess a great treasure!
And it's a treasured suit of armor!
However, this treasured armor was not obtained from a native spaceship that was found, as is rumored, but rather it was acquired years ago when a peak-level enemy was killed.

This precious armor, although it can only activate the first level at present, can still reduce any material attack that does not exceed the armor's maximum withstand limit to one percent!
Just now, even after the enemy's attack was weakened by a hundredfold, it still caused it a 5% loss of divine body. What an exaggerated number that is!
This means that without the powerful armor, it would have perished from that attack!

"what!"

Qi Yuan was slightly surprised to find that the Blood King's aura had only weakened slightly.

Keep in mind that he is currently burning his divine power. A full-force attack under such conditions would be fatal to any other King-level expert, if they didn't die.

However, the Blood Glass King only lost about 4% or 5% of his divine body after taking a direct hit from me, which is quite unusual. After all, previous data showed that the Blood Glass King should not be good at defense.

"Could it be"

Qi Yuan couldn't help but look at the Blood Glass King. At this moment, a layer of black light was faintly flowing on its body, and a black scale armor could be vaguely seen attached to its body.

"This...this couldn't have been a lucky accident!"

In the void, Qi Yuan's pupils lit up uncontrollably!
He spent a lot of effort, spreading messages through his soul servants and using the 'transformation' talent of his Shangqing clone to impersonate the Blood Glass King, all to attract some top alien kings so that he could hunt them down and find treasures!
Unexpectedly, after all the twists and turns, the reward will ultimately fall on the 'Blood Glass King' whom they had their eyes on from the very beginning!
"This, this is truly an unexpected delight!"

boom!
Qi Yuan, transformed into a four-legged beast, charged forward once more, continuing to unleash his self-created secret technique, 'Opening Heaven,' with his sharp, claw-sheathed claws.

"Damn it, who are you, and why are you targeting me!"

The 'real' Blood King, whom he targeted, was naturally unwilling to sit and wait for death, and began to desperately flee.

However, under the spatial blockade, he was unable to teleport, so how could his speed compare to Qi Yuan's?

Even though Blood Glass King consciously stirred up space and constantly changed its shape to dodge, in order to avoid the effects of Qi Yuan's time stop, in terms of pure flight agility, it was still many times inferior to Qi Yuan, who cultivated both time and space.

There was no way to escape. He wanted to fight back, but he found that he was not fast enough to catch up with his opponent. In fact, if he stopped, he would be hit and suppressed by his opponent's time-stopping technique.

It didn't even have a chance to escape to the spacetime tides outside the small world; it could only be beaten again and again!

Bang!Bang!Bang!
The attacks rained down on the Blood King's body, causing its divine power to be constantly depleted.

Although Blood King possessed a powerful treasure that could weaken physical attacks by a hundredfold, Qi Yuan's divine body was far superior to his opponent's. In the end, he essentially negated the advantage of the opponent's powerful treasure.

Qi Yuan's secret technique "World" is a self-created secret technique that has reached the peak level according to the prevailing evaluation standards in the universe, while the secret technique used by Xue Li Wang can only be considered an ordinary top-level secret technique, so it is naturally suppressed by him!
With each attack, Blood King's divine body quickly suffered a loss of more than 50%.

At this moment, the Blood King's fear had reached its peak.

Am I about to perish?

"No, I'm not reconciled! I was able to obtain such a treasure, to acquire the indigenous heritage. I have great fortune; how can I die here!"

But no matter how unwilling it is, it cannot change the fact that it is about to perish.

"If you want to kill me, you won't get away with it either!"

With a ruthless resolve, Blood King immediately reactivated the long-dormant virtual world communication system for the demon race and began indiscriminately sending messages to all possible contacts—

"I am currently in the seventh level of the Time-Space Prison, world N0.11132. I am about to perish, and a priceless suit of armor I possess is about to fall into enemy hands. Those who wish to seize the treasure, come quickly! Haha, come on! The enemy is..."

Blood King suddenly froze halfway through sending the message—

The enemy, who is the enemy?
It looked at the enemy, whose appearance and aura were almost identical to its own, and it seemed to see another version of itself.

Is the enemy myself?

At this moment, Blood Glass King felt extremely aggrieved.

After more than half a year of hiding and fleeing, it was about to perish completely, but even on its deathbed, it still didn't know who its enemy was. How could this not make it feel frustrated!

"Ugh! Who are you? Who are you? You wretched creature! Revive your true form!"

Before his death, Blood King had only this one obsession left.

No matter how much it roared and cursed, there was no response from the other side; only dazzling claw shadows continued to fall.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

"Explode!" "Explode!" "Explode!"

In the end, Blood King had no choice but to detonate the rest of his divine body. He had no other option; if he didn't self-destruct, he would probably be killed by the enemy and fall into a deep sleep.

Boom~~~~
In an instant, tens of millions of kilometers of space were destroyed by the rampant energy, turning into an endless stream of spatial particles.

In the aftershocks of the explosion, Qi Yuan's Shangqing clone quickly grabbed a piece of black armor.
