Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 167 Suppressing the Heavenly King, Destroying the Small World
More than ten years have passed since Qi Yuan broke through to the Immortal realm and settled in Chaos City.

Over the past ten years, Qi Yuan certainly couldn't have just been giving lectures in Chaos City and casually fighting and wandering in the outer battlefields.

During this process, he also tried his best to improve his strength by utilizing the core treasure trove of the Virtual Universe Company and the channels of Hongmeng.

Over the years, he has killed or enslaved hundreds of alien kings at the peak of their rank and those at the limit of their rank!
These powerful individuals each possess assets ranging from at least 100 to 200 billion Hunyuan units, to as many as 70 to 800 billion Hunyuan units.

The total value of the spoils seized from them is over 5 trillion mixed units!
Some of the more precious and rare items were naturally kept as 'gifts' to his disciples in the future, while the other ordinary items were packaged and sold off, and then used to buy or exchange for resources that were useful to him.

Examples include equipping each clone (the original) with a full set of top-tier immortal-level armor and weapons, purchasing powerful secret techniques such as top-tier soul defense techniques, spacetime-assisted research techniques, and weapon creation techniques, and buying special treasures, etc.

Among them, the largest expense he made was to purchase a complete set of amplitude-enhancing secret techniques suitable for his own cultivation!
In the core treasure trove of the Virtual Universe Company and in the various shops of the Hongmeng, he could find very few amplitude-type secret techniques, and the cultivation conditions were extremely demanding.

For example, in the original novel, Luo Feng cultivated the "Beast God Transformation," which could reach a powerful amplitude of 64 times when cultivated to the sixth level. However, at the Immortal stage, being able to cultivate to the third level with an amplitude of 8 times was considered the absolute limit.

As for the inheritances of those divine messengers and generals, the most recent inheritance dates back at least several thousand years. Whether for disciples to exchange or for personal use, it takes an extremely long time.

Moreover, the competition for the succession of divine messengers and generals is extremely fierce, and even if there are vacancies, he may not be able to get a spot.

After comparing them, he finally purchased a Soul Amplification Secret Technique and a Body Amplification Secret Technique through the core treasury of the Virtual Universe Company and the Hongmeng channels, respectively.

The upper limit of the two secret techniques is not high, at most it can reach 54 times, but they both have one advantage, that is, the cultivation conditions are more relaxed than those of secret techniques like "Beast God Transformation" which are performed by relying on the fusion law.

Two secret techniques, each consuming one system return opportunity, were bestowed upon the sixth disciple 'Longji,' who was extremely skilled in the art of the soul, and the Golden Hammer Dwarf disciple 'Flodis,' who possessed remarkable talent in controlling physical strength. Ultimately, two brand-new secret techniques were returned to him.

One is a secret technique related to soul amplitude, called "Star Soul Battle Intent". When cultivated to its extreme, it can make the soul amplitude reach 96 times!
The first is the Divine Body Amplification Secret Technique, called "Nine Transformations of the Divine Silkworm." When cultivated to its extreme, it can achieve a body amplitude of 99 times, which is incredibly close to the perfect level of 100 times!

In the cultivation of "Star Soul Battle Intent", Qi Yuan has successfully reached the fifth level thanks to the powerful spiritual talent of Taiqing clone. When it is activated, the soul amplitude can directly reach 48 times!
As for the cultivation of the "Nine Transformations of the Divine Silkworm", he has now mastered the fourth transformation, which can unleash a power of 44 times the amplitude!

With a soul amplitude of 48 times and a body amplitude of 44 times, this is definitely at the level of many powerful cosmic venerables!

This is also one of Qi Yuan's biggest trump cards right now!

His divine body itself had reached the level of ten million times the power of a World Lord. If the amplitude were increased by 44 times, that would be 440 million times the power of a World Lord!
440 million times the power of a World Lord, when fully unleashed, what a terrifying power that is!
Amidst the endless turbulent tides of time and space.

"boom!"

"boom!"

The Nine Transformations of the Divine Silkworm are in operation!
All divine power within his body ignited simultaneously!

In an instant, a terrifying aura filled with endless oppression suddenly erupted from Qi Yuan's body. The powerful energy caused the surrounding extremely violent spacetime tides to twist and tear, becoming increasingly chaotic!

"how is this possible?"

In the void opposite, the Heavenly King, who had remained remarkably calm since his appearance, now displayed an expression of utter shock that he could not help but show.

Although he felt that this human's divine body was stronger than his own, it was still within an acceptable range. With a full set of powerful treasures and secret techniques, he was still very confident that he could defeat the other party.

However, at this moment, feeling the terrifying aura emanating from the other party, he realized that he was wrong, and terribly wrong!

The opponent's divine aura was already so powerful, yet he was still not using the Amplification Secret Technique!
When it erupted at this moment, the terrifying pressure made him feel as if he were facing a true cosmic venerable one!
Let alone the fact that he is only close to the 'Invincible King' level, even if he is truly invincible, when facing a Universe Venerable, he can only run for his life!
"Run! Run now!"

Without any of the 'restraint' expected of a master, the Heavenly King instantly began to burn wildly the moment he sensed the disparity in strength between himself and his enemy, unleashing a torrent of power within his body.

Around his body, the flow of time became incredibly erratic. With each thud of his four hooves, his movements seemed extremely slow, yet he was frantically fleeing into the distance at breakneck speed!

During his escape, he also cursed in a voice, still resentful:
"Humans, you are shameless! You actually sent a being with the combat power of a Universe Venerable to the extraterrestrial battlefield to slaughter us! I will definitely report this to my race and make you pay the price!"

The extraterritorial battlefield, though a battlefield, shares a tacit understanding among the various factions clashing—

Unless it's a true final battle, the Cosmic Venerable will absolutely not allow himself to fight.

After all, the destructive power of a Universe Venerable is simply too great. If a Universe Venerable were to personally intervene, he could easily slaughter a large group of Limit-level Kings. A single soul sweep could nearly wipe out all Realm Lord squads and legions within his attack range!

If such combat power is left unchecked, the outer battlefield will become a true death trap, leaving no room for world lords and ordinary immortal elites to train!

"Haha, Heavenly King, don't make baseless accusations. I'm not a Universe Venerable, just an ordinary Immortal King with a few tricks up my sleeve!"

With the blessing of the Nine Transformations of the Divine Silkworm, Qi Yuan's aura, under the state of burning divine power, was domineering and terrifying to the extreme. With one step, the extremely violent spatial and temporal turbulence around him was instantly swept away and torn apart.

His figure appeared almost instantly behind the Heavenly King.

"Time stop! Space blockade! Combine!"

Qi Yuan unhesitatingly used his strongest sealing technique!

Even though the Emperor had been consciously changing his form during his escape that day, preparing for a possible pause in time.

However, due to the increased amplitude and burning state of his divine body, the range and power of Qi Yuan's time stop and spatial blockade were greatly amplified, and Tian Yu Wang's body was ultimately grazed by the edge of the time stop range!
Call ~
The Heavenly King, who was frantically fleeing, suddenly froze in place.

For a moment, apart from his consciousness still functioning, he was completely unable to react. "Ah, time stop! No! Why is the power of his time stop so strong? It's so difficult for me to break free! It's over, it's over!" The Heavenly King's consciousness instantly plunged into utter terror.

As Qi Yuan continued to delve deeper into the secrets of "Time and Space," not only did his understanding of the laws progress rapidly, but his mastery of the combination of time and space also deepened continuously.

The power of his simultaneous use of time stop and space blockade is not simply one plus one, but truly carries a hint of 'controlling space and time'.

At this moment, time and space around the Emperor Tianyu's body became incredibly frozen.

Even though the Heavenly King is also a powerful being who has mastered the ability to stop time, it would take him far longer to break free from this powerful confinement than to deal with a normal time stop!

The time lost had already sealed his fate!

"Open the sky!"

With a deep shout, Qi Yuan channeled terrifying power into his divine sword, causing the illusory world surrounding it to solidify. Within that solidified illusory world, a dazzling light burst forth!
"laugh!"

As if the universe itself were about to be sliced ​​apart, an indestructible and unbreakable sword light landed without any obstruction on the Heavenly King's armor.

"Chi chi chi~~~"

The immense power instantly surpassed the armor's limits. The fierce attack immediately penetrated the Heavenly King's divine body—

"Whoosh whoosh~~~"

Like a red-hot iron felt falling into the snow, in an instant, the Heavenly King's divine body began to rapidly 'evaporate'!
"Ah, my, my divine body! One strike, one strike annihilated 82% of my divine body! No! Time stop, break! Break! Break!"

The only remaining consciousness of the Heavenly King was screaming madly, trying to break free from the control of the time stop. The moment he broke free, he would choose to self-destruct, giving the other party no chance to enslave him!

However, no matter how hard he roared and struggled, it would still take some time before he could break free of control, and that time would be enough for the other party to kill or enslave him completely!

Even at this moment, the Heavenly King had already sensed the soul power of the other party probing into his consciousness, and that the other party was trying to use a secret technique to control his soul!

"No! No! No! I cannot be enslaved! I would rather die! Die!"

The Heavenly King's consciousness roared wildly.

I wonder if some mysterious force heard his roar.

Just as Qi Yuan's soul power invaded the consciousness of the Heavenly King, preparing to forcibly break through the opponent's soul defenses and enslave him—

Not far from them, a bubble world with a diameter of over a hundred billion kilometers appeared to have lost its stability due to some changes in the surrounding spacetime tides, and began to dissolve rapidly.

Without the protection of the world membrane, the entire small world began to collapse rapidly, and even further collapsed!

"Boom~~~"

The earth shattered, and space collapsed!
Imagine the terrifying effects of a space spanning hundreds of billions of kilometers in diameter completely collapsing!
"Whoosh whoosh~~~"

The endless turbulent currents of spacetime began to pour wildly into the area originally occupied by the small world, pouring in relentlessly.
When the spacetime tides pouring in from all directions converge at the center of the original spatial region, the tidal forces collide, surge, and converge, forming incredibly terrifying tidal undercurrents!

Undercurrents swirled and surged.

One of them was an incredibly terrifying undercurrent, far beyond what immortal life could withstand, surging and turbulent, which instantly rushed towards Qi Yuan and Tian Yu Wang.

The temporal and spatial tides are an incredibly chaotic convergence of time and space forces. Under the entanglement of time and space, they have transcended the conventional concept of speed, giving the two no time to react before instantly engulfing them.

"call!"

The undercurrents of time and space carried Qi Yuan and the Heavenly King across endless time and space in an instant, directly plunging them into the eighth level of the Time and Space Prison, and they continued to delve deeper into it.

At this moment, the impact of the tidal currents actually broke the time freeze that had been enveloping the Heavenly King.

"Hahaha, retribution, retribution indeed! The human race is crowned king, didn't expect that, did you? Even the environment of the Time-Space Prison is helping me!"

"I was already prepared to self-destruct. Before that, I was incredibly happy to see you fall into the depths of this spatial prison. For the sake of killing me, the human race lost a powerful immortal with the combat strength of a Venerable. It was worth it, so worth it!"

As the Heavenly King roared, his soul power was instantly activated, and an extremely restless aura began to spread rapidly across his divine body.

"Hehe, you're getting too cocky!"

Qi Yuan, who was being mocked, did not even check the changes in the surrounding environment at the first moment. Instead, he instantly activated the soul amplification secret technique "Star Soul Battle Intent".

Instantly, the power of the soul force that invaded the Heavenly King's body surged to 48 times its original strength!
With overwhelming force, the Heavenly King's consciousness defense shattered instantly, and a strange mark followed closely behind.
"Huhu~~~"

The agitated aura surrounding the Heavenly King quickly subsided.

"Owner!"
