Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 184 A Strange Encounter with the Pavilion Master
"Boom~~~"

The crimson pool water surged wildly, and heavy pressure spread, as if layer upon layer of worlds were descending upon Qi Yuan's Shangqing clone's body.

However, Shangqing's clone simply maintained the special field state he named 'Chaotic Void Form', and the terrifying pressure that kept surging in was easily resolved.

woohoo~~
Shangqing's clone moved with each step, covering tens of thousands of kilometers with each stride, leisurely making its way to the depths of the Blood Soul Pool.

"Heh heh, humans, what brilliant methods you've employed."

The hoarse voice seemed to echo simultaneously from all sides of the blood-red pool.

Along with the sound, an almost invisible and traceless ethereal soul power rapidly penetrated into Shang Qingfen's body.

This ethereal soul power did not immediately display any aggressive stance. Instead, like nourishing rain, it gently and softly seeped into the soul imprint of the Shangqing clone.

However, in this 'chaotic form', the body of the Shangqing clone has already transformed into the most twisted and chaotic existence!

Every single one of his smallest units of divine power and soul imprint was trembling and twisting at an incredibly high frequency and in a bizarre trajectory.

Before the ethereal soul power that had seeped into his body could spread, it was completely torn apart by the incredibly distorted and chaotic field within Shang Qingfen's body.

The last bit of soul attack power he possessed was like an egg hitting a rock in the face of his powerful will, which had reached the level of a universe master. It couldn't have any effect on him at all.

"Lord of Blood Soul Pool, feel free to use any other tricks you have."

As Shangqing's clone took a step, he burst into laughter.

"Arrogant human, since you've chosen your own death, don't blame me!"

A tremendous roar came from all directions, followed by—

"boom!"

The entire Blood Soul Pool was violently shaking, and the endless crimson pool water surged wildly, instantly creating a huge whirlpool.

The swirling eddy instantly drained all the water from the pools surrounding Shangqing's clone. With the blood-red pool water no longer obstructing the view, the surroundings became clear and open.

Above the head of the Shangqing clone, the endless, sweeping crimson pool water converged wildly, and a gigantic hand, large enough to cover an area of ​​tens of millions of kilometers, took shape in the blink of an eye.

Within that enormous, blood-red palm, a point of gold rapidly spread, instantly transforming into a strange golden network that covered the giant palm.

"Whoosh whoosh~~~"

Under the cover of the huge blood-red palm covered with golden patterns, the surrounding space and time became incredibly viscous and solidified, as if the originally flowing water had been frozen into a huge 'ice block', and everything was instantly sealed off!

Qi Yuan's Shangqing clone, located in this area, was naturally also firmly suppressed in place.

"Human, suffer death!"

A thunderous roar echoed and reverberated throughout the Blood Soul Pool.

At the same time, the enormous blood-red hand covered in golden patterns began to fall rapidly.

The more it fell, the stronger the oppressive feeling became. Space continued to shatter, but the spatial turbulence that had just appeared was instantly 'frozen' and then continued to be compressed, as if to completely compress the entire spacetime into a thin 'piece'.

Although Blood Soul Pool is known as a forbidden zone, the danger is still manageable as long as one does not enter the area actually covered by the pool's water.

Moreover, within a radius of billions of kilometers around the Blood Soul Pool, there are numerous swamp continents, floating glaciers, and other unique environments that often nurture some precious special resources.

Therefore, this area has attracted a large number of immortal gods from different races to explore, seek treasures, and hone their skills.

As the entire Blood Soul Pool boiled wildly, and a gigantic crimson hand coalesced into shape, some immortal deities who were exploring nearby immediately sensed it and looked up—

"That's the Blood Soul Pool! What happened? Why is the entire Blood Soul Pool acting like it's in an uproar?!"

"It's the Lord of Blood Soul Pool! The Lord of Blood Soul Pool is fighting the enemy!"

"I've seen footage of the Blood Soul Pool Master making a move in the video. With just one slap, he shattered the divine body of a Universe Venerable!"

"Heavens! Who is it? Who dares to come to the Blood Soul Pool's territory and fight the Blood Soul Pool Master? Isn't that courting death?"

Some explorers who were closer and witnessed the riot at Blood Soul Pool couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

In the eyes of these explorers, who are mainly ordinary immortals and noble immortals, the cosmic venerables are almost the highest level they can reach.

The Blood Soul Pool Master, who could annihilate a Universe Venerable with a wave of his hand, was an invincible, legendary existence!

Now, someone actually dared to provoke this invincible being in their eyes, how could they not be shocked!

"What kind of enemy could possibly warrant the Blood Soul Pool Master's personal intervention?"

The explorers all looked on in astonishment.

But as they watched, they all felt as if they were being swept away by an invisible wave.

In an instant, the surrounding space and time began to tremble slightly!

Immediately afterwards, they saw a dazzling sword light, seemingly piercing the sky, suddenly illuminate—

On the other side, as the giant hand began to fall, Qi Yuan's Shangqing clone also reacted quickly!

Secret Technique "Time and Space", activated!

"Huhu~~~"

An invisible wave instantly spread, and spacetime within a radius of tens of light-years fell under the control of the Shangqing clone!

The spacetime freeze and oppressive force generated by the giant hand was instantly shattered by the power that controlled spacetime!

Immediately afterwards, the supreme divine sword 'Floating Light' appeared in the hand of Shangqing's avatar. Driven by surging divine power, the supreme divine sword instantly expanded by a million kilometers, its dazzling sword light soaring into the sky!

Countless sword lights twisted and converged at the tip of the supreme divine sword, instantly condensing into a dazzling 'chaotic hole' shape resembling a point of light—

The second move of the secret technique of "World", Chaotic Void Suppression, activated!
"Chichi~~~"

The dazzling 'chaotic void' formed by the convergence of endless sword light instantly bloomed, unleashing an endless and terrifying force of devouring and tearing, as well as an incomparably powerful force of impact and annihilation at the tip of the divine sword!

Rumble~~~
The enormous, blood-red hand, covered in a network of golden threads, lasted less than a moment before being torn apart and pierced by the incredibly chaotic and terrifying power.

Immediately afterwards, the dazzling sword light spread wildly, completely tearing apart the giant hand that covered an area of ​​tens of millions of kilometers!

wow~
The crimson pool of water that formed the giant hand crashed down like a waterfall, then flowed back into its original form as a pool of water.

However, what outsiders cannot perceive is that the color of this large area of ​​blood-red pool water seems to be slightly darker than that of other areas.

Wow~~~
The water in the pool rippled and undulated, and the entire Blood Soul Pool area fell into silence.

"Controlling space and time! And this is a secret technique at the peak, or even the ultimate, level of a Universe Lord! You, you are a Universe Lord!"

A voice, clearly tinged with apprehension, reverberated from the surrounding crimson pool.

"No, it can't be the Lord of the Universe. Your divine body is clearly only at the lowest level of a Universe Venerable. So why do you control spacetime? Could it be some kind of treasure? And that secret technique just now?"

The water in the pool rippled, and sounds continued to drift in.

"Haha, Blood Soul Pool Master, now, do I have the right to ask you for people?"

Shangqing's clone chuckled softly. Under his control of space and time, his laughter seemed to reverberate and boom throughout every corner of the Blood Soul Pool.

In the center of the Blood Soul Pool stands an incomparably magnificent golden palace.

In one of the core halls of this palace, there is a golden pool about 5 meters long and wide, filled with a special golden liquid that exudes an incomparably fragrant aroma.

The golden liquid rippled and submerged the figure of a purple-haired girl clad in blood-red armor.

A mysterious energy from the golden liquid continuously seeped into the girl's body, causing some unknown transformation.

As the mysterious energy continued to seep in, the girl's skin, and even every inch of her flesh and bones, were faintly tinged with some incredibly mysterious golden patterns.

However, as this transformation continued, the girl's original consciousness was also constantly eroded and gradually dimmed.

at this time--

"Haha, Blood Soul Pool Master, now, do I have the right to ask you for people?"

A sound like thunderclap resounded throughout the Blood Soul Pool, the entire golden hall, and in the ears of the purple-haired girl whose consciousness was about to sink into oblivion.

In the instant the sound reached them, a glimmer of light flashed deep within the purple-haired girl's already uncontrollable pupils—

"It's the teacher! The teacher has arrived!"

"Human, you are strong enough! Please come into the hall for a discussion!"

Before Shangqing's clone, the blood-red pool of water swirled rapidly, and a vortex channel quickly condensed and took shape.

Through the passage, one can see the magnificent, golden palace at the other end.

With control over space and time, Shangqing's clone could easily see that in the magnificent palace, there was a middle-aged man wearing a gorgeous golden robe. The middle-aged man had golden secret patterns on his fair and pale face, and his overall appearance was similar to that of many human races.

"The infamous Lord of Blood Soul Pool actually looks quite amiable."

Shangqing's clone muttered to himself.

He then took a step forward, and in an instant, he appeared in front of the middle-aged man in the golden robe in the palace.

"Lord of the Blood Soul Pool".

The Shangqing clone smiled and nodded at the middle-aged man in golden robes in front of him.

"Humanity."

On the enormous throne, the middle-aged man in a magnificent golden robe looked down, his golden pupils revealing a hint of wariness and inquiry.

The middle-aged man in the golden robe, known as the 'Lord of the Blood Soul Pool,' stared at the figure of Shang Qing's clone for a long time, but couldn't match it with any of the human powerhouses he remembered. So he directly asked:

"Human powerhouse, may I ask your name?"

"call?"

Upon hearing this, Shangqing's clone smiled faintly, "Human race, Qiyuan King."

"A King of Extraordinary Fortunes? Conferred a title of King?"

The golden-robed man, the 'Lord of the Blood Soul Pool,' showed a slight displeasure.

"Human, your strength has earned my recognition, but that is not a reason for you to deceive me at will. If you do not wish to reveal your true identity, just say so directly. Why bother to fabricate a title of king to fool me!"

It's no wonder that the Blood Soul Pool Master was angry. A person who can use the ultimate secret technique of controlling space and time and the universe is definitely the most outstanding universe overlord among the human race.

Such a powerful being, yet he reveals his title from when he was a king—what else could this be but deception!
"I'm not just making things up; I've only recently made a breakthrough."

Shangqing's clone hadn't expected that the Blood Soul Pool Master would care about such things. After a moment's thought, he casually said, "In that case, Pool Master, please call me 'Master of the Wonderful Fate Pavilion' for now."

"The Master of the Strange Fate Pavilion?"
