Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 199 Full Outbreak
A dazzling crimson blade light suddenly shone forth.

From the sudden burst of power from the Blood Whale Realm that caused the Nine Tribulations Pearl's electric field to shrink, to the blinding blade light reaching Qi Yuan's front, it all happened almost simultaneously!

The entire flash of the blade highlighted one word—speed!

Extremely fast!

In the blink of an eye, Qi Yuan's Shangqing clone only had time to draw his sword and sweep it horizontally, and instantly activated the first secret technique 'Opening Heaven', which had been upgraded to the ultimate level of the Lord of the Universe. This was also the fastest move he could activate among the secret techniques he had mastered!
Amidst the swirling phantoms of the world, a blinding sword light burst forth, clashing violently with the approaching crimson blade light!
"Clang!" "Clang!"

The first blade of light shattered the Heaven-Opening Sword Light, and the second blade of light followed closely, slashing the Netherworld Divine Sword and sending it crashing directly into the chest armor of Shangqing's clone.

The powerful impact sent Shangqing's clone flying.

"So fast, so fast that I only had time to barely defend myself." Shangqing's clone couldn't help but marvel as he retreated.

"They have some strength."

Lord Yuelan glanced at Qi Yuan and praised, "Your supreme divine sword is quite good, and your divine body is strong enough, but your secret technique is a bit lacking..."

As he praised him, his speed was terrifying; he almost caught up with Qi Yuan, who had been thrown into the air.

At the same time, he pushed the power of the Blood Whale Realm to its strongest, causing the silver lightning field to shrink continuously, making it difficult for it to have any further impact on him.

"Is this the true strength of a top-tier fourth-order universe master? He is indeed powerful, and his supreme treasure is also very strong!"

Qi Yuan, who was retreating, was slightly shocked.

His Nine Tribulations Pearl was just an ordinary top-tier domain treasure, while the opponent's Blood Whale Realm was a top-grade domain treasure, almost reaching the level of a peak domain treasure. Under the direct impact, the lightning domain of the Nine Tribulations Pearl was somewhat unable to withstand the impact of the sea of ​​blood!

Furthermore, the opponent's sword attacks were extremely powerful. Even the move that was known for its speed, with two consecutive slashes, directly shattered the ultimate secret technique he was using with the supreme treasure divine sword 'Youhuang', and even caused the divine sword to crash into his own body, causing some damage to his own divine body.

Lord Yue Lan's two most famous treasures are the top-grade domain treasure 'Blood Whale Realm' and the pinnacle treasure 'Crescent Moon', which can stack power.

In their first encounter, Qi Yuan immediately realized that this reputation was indeed well-deserved!

"It seems I have to use that trick," Qi Yuan sighed inwardly.

"Ha ha……"

Although Lord Yue Lan's steps appeared slow, he had already passed through the severely compressed electric field barrier in one step and arrived directly beside Qi Yuan.

He instantly brandished the two enormous blood-red battle blades in his hands, as if the power of the entire universe was concentrated on the blades, and then slammed them down fiercely towards Qi Yuan.

The previous move was incredibly fast, but this move is heavy, absolutely devastating!
"Hmph, your strength is still a bit lacking for venturing into the inner region."

The master of Yue Lan's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

Sudden--

hum~~~
The entire space-time trembled slightly, and an invisible force instantly merged into the silver lightning domain of the Nine Tribulations Pearl, causing the power of that lightning domain to surge instantly!
The secret technique "Time and Space" is activated instantly!
The 'Space-Time Array' formed by the fusion of the 'Time Array' and the 'Space Array' possesses power comparable to the universe's mastery of space-time!

Crucially, this power does not conflict with the universe lord's control over space and time; in fact, they can be perfectly superimposed! And naturally, it can also be perfectly combined with the supreme treasure domain!

Under the blessing of the secret technique "Time and Space", the power of the Nine Tribulation Pearl continued to surge, and the body of the nine purple thousand-legged dragon-like 'tribulation beast' became extremely solid.

The nine-headed 'Crazy Beast' drove the entire electric field to continuously impact, actually suppressing and forcing back the ever-expanding crimson ocean!
At the same time, the endless lightning field continuously bound the body of Lord Yue Lan, affecting his movements.

"Whoo~~~"

As if it had evaporated instantly, 20% of the divine power of Qi Yuan Shangqing's clone was burned away in an instant!

The most powerful innate secret technique, 'Light of Annihilation,' is activated instantly!
The Lord of the Universe has extremely strong control over his body. Qi Yuan had already taken a step further on the basis of the "Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Silkworm" and easily reached the level of a hundredfold amplification of the divine body, so he was naturally able to unleash this move.

"laugh!"

A wisp of black light burst forth from the tip of the Youhuang Divine Sword, shooting directly at the body of Lord Yuelan at an extremely tricky angle.

"Hmm? This area isn't good, this move!"

Before Lord Yue Lan could recover from the shock of the surge in power from the Nine Tribulations Pearl's domain, he felt the immense power contained in this attack. His expression changed instantly, and he hurriedly tried to swing his twin swords to change direction and defend.

However, the move he just used was known for its 'heavy' power. With the full force of the secret technique unleashed, it would take some time to hastily change his move.

And the Light of Nothingness erupts extremely quickly!
The brief moment lost due to the change of tactics was enough for that dark, eerie light to strike the abdominal armor of Lord Yue Lan instantly!
You must know that Shangqing's clone is a perfect genetic divine body with a height of over 90,000 kilometers and a height of 10,000 times. How terrifying is the total amount of divine power contained in 20% of his divine body!
With such a huge consumption, the power of this beam of utter emptiness is naturally incredibly strong!
This beam of 'light of nothingness' struck Lord Yue Lan directly without being blocked by any weapon. The terrifying power of annihilation and destruction erupted instantly, reaching the maximum withstand limit of Lord Yue Lan's treasured battle armor in an instant!
Lord Yue Lan let out a howl, his entire body trembling violently, and his divine aura weakened rapidly in an instant. "Hmm? The opponent's divine body has only lost 13%?"

The next second, sensing the weakening of the other party's aura, Qi Yuan couldn't help but frown slightly.

He had used 20% of his divine power to unleash his strongest innate secret technique attack, and it hadn't even been blocked by the opponent's weapon before it struck the opponent's body directly, yet it only caused the opponent to suffer a 13% loss of divine power!
This looks like I've been taken advantage of!

However, he didn't know that the astonishment in the heart of Lord Yue Lan was even more exaggerated than his!

"Ah, this attack actually caused me to lose nearly 13% of my divine body!"

The reason why Lord Yue Lan was so amazed was because he was born from a unique special life form called 'Yue Lan' in the second reincarnation era. Although the height of his true divine body was not too outrageous, it still reached a level close to 300,000 kilometers!

Moreover, because he is an extremely unique and special life form, he can shrink his divine body to a certain extent without affecting his strength.

With this talent, he can move around freely, unlike those universe lords who possess colossal divine bodies and are limited to staying in their lair or going out using clones due to their limited mobility.

His own strength is already considerable, and with his enormous divine body, even against opponents of equal strength, he could potentially wear them down to death by leveraging his divine power!
This is also the real source of his confidence in killing multiple universe masters in the past!
However, under that very attack, his most prized advantage—his divine physique—had become somewhat vulnerable.

One strike, one strike that directly annihilated 13% of his divine body—what a terrifying attack that was!

If his divine body were only about 90,000 kilometers high, like a normal fourth-order universe lord, wouldn't it suffer a great loss under this attack, or even perish directly?
This level of attack is almost comparable to the attack strength of a fifth-order universe master!

In fact, even Qi Yuan himself had some misunderstandings about the use of the innate secret technique 'Light of Nothingness'.

If a normal universe lord were to use this secret technique, it would consume 1%-3% of divine power each time. This is roughly the consumption level of a normal, strongest secret technique, and the power it unleashes would be at the level of a normal, strongest secret technique.

However, Qi Yuan had a preconceived notion that this secret technique was the trump card for a "life-risking" attack, believing that the way to use this secret technique was to "risk" to death, which is why he immediately burned off 20% of his divine power!
That's a 20% consumption of divine power, which is a huge loss for most universe lords. Which ordinary universe lord would dare to play like that?

Such a massive amount of divine power would be enough to unleash the ordinary power of the Light of Nothingness seven or eight times. However, this massive amount of divine power was completely concentrated into a single strike. It would be a miracle if the power was not strong!
This attack, even if it didn't reach the level of the strongest fusion secret technique used by those fifth-order universe lords, was almost as powerful!
It must be said that even the same secret technique can produce vastly different effects depending on who holds it!

For Qi Yuan, this Light of Nothingness is definitely a powerful trump card that can be used to fight enemies of a higher level!

"You have to admit, I really underestimated you."

Amidst the churning sea of ​​blood, Lord Yue Lan looked solemnly at Qi Yuan.

"The Nine Tribulations Pearl Domain, which uses a special method to amplify the power of a domain treasure, is now comparable to a true peak-level treasure. And your attack can actually unleash an attack comparable to a fifth-tier universe lord."

"You are very strong, but no matter how strong you are, it cannot change your inevitable fate of falling."

Lord Yue Lan looked at Qi Yuan with a cold expression. Although he was shocked by the powerful attack that the other party had just unleashed, he could keenly detect that after launching this powerful attack, the other party's own divine power was also greatly depleted, even more than his own!

I only lost about 13% of my divine power, while the opponent lost nearly 20%!

In other words, even if you stand still and let the other party attack you, the other party may not necessarily be unable to kill you. On the contrary, the other party will lose their fighting power due to excessive depletion of divine power.

He wasn't actually a wooden stake; he had only reacted because the opponent's attack was too sudden and he hadn't been able to change his move in time. Once he was prepared and used his treasured weapon to defend himself, the opponent certainly wouldn't have been able to inflict such great damage on him.

Therefore, unless reinforcements arrive in time, they are destined to perish at our hands.

Lord Yue Lan was furious about the enormous damage Qi Yuan had caused to his divine body, and naturally hated him intensely at this moment.

"That attack you just used up must have taken a lot of energy, right? Hmph, let's see how many more times you can do that!"

As Yue Lan spoke, he once again swung his twin blades. This time, the blood-red twin blades in his hands returned to the speed-oriented style of his first attack, and he once again rushed straight towards Qi Yuan!

"You really think you've got me cornered?"

Seeing the Lord of Yue Lan approaching again, Qi Yuan Shangqing's clone's pupils flashed with light, and his entire figure instantly rushed towards the opponent.

With the aid of the Nine Tribulations Pearl's domain, his speed was now slightly faster than that of Lord Yue Lan.

With his speed, Qi Yuan's Shangqing clone narrowly avoided a round of attacks from Lord Yue Lan, and seized that barely perceptible opportunity to launch 'Light of Silence' once again!
This time, he directly chose to burn 60% of the divine power of his Shangqing clone in an instant!

An incredibly terrifying aura gathered wildly in front of him, and a wisp of dark light instantly condensed into shape.

At the same time, within the world ring carried by Shangqing's clone, a figure completely encased in emerald green armor instantly teleported and appeared beside Shangqing's clone.

The moment this figure appeared, his aura plummeted, and a 'Light of Nothingness' radiating boundless terror rapidly coalesced on the divine sword in his hand.
