Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 90 Slaying a World Lord

"laugh--"

A blinding purple lightning bolt seemed to arrive from the endless heavens in an instant. Around this purple lightning bolt, there was a subtle, invisible fluctuation that made the lightning bolt extremely ethereal and blurry!

"So fast!"

Balent, a second-level Realm Lord, was secretly alarmed, but his movements were swift!

A sharp, crimson longsword instantly appeared in his hand, and blazing red flames rapidly ignited on the entire sword and even in the void around it.

The crimson longsword, carrying endless scorching flames, collided head-on with the purple lightning descending from the sky.

clang!
The flames and lightning were scattered, while the crimson longsword in Barent's hand clashed heavily with an ancient, dark blue battle blade!
call!
The owner of the dark blue battle blade retreated instantly, transforming into a black-haired youth wearing a golden armor with secret patterns in the distance.

"Domain Lord?"

Barent stared at the figure of the black-haired youth, a hint of surprise flashing across his eyes.

The brief exchange just now allowed him to determine that his opponent's physical strength was not significantly inferior to his own.
And someone with such immense physical strength is merely a domain lord?
"Who are you, and why did you attack my Giant Shark Star?" Barent asked in a chilling tone, suppressing his anger.

The black-haired youth was none other than Qi Yuan.

After their recent exchange, he had a general understanding of the power of a second-tier Realm Lord, and his confidence had greatly increased!
Hearing Barent's question, he had no interest in talking at all.

"Hehe, is that even a question? We've come to collect your money!"

Qi Yuan simply left those words behind, and then he transformed into a blurry bolt of lightning and vanished from Barent's sight in an instant!
When he reappeared, he appeared in front of a seventh-tier Flame Blade Merchant Guild member who had just flown out of the golden palace!

This person was also the strongest in the entire Flameblade Merchant Guild besides Balent.

"not good!"

Barent's expression changed slightly, and almost reflexively, he instantly projected his inner world into the world!

Rumble~~~
The vast power of the world directly twisted the space within a radius of thousands of miles, changing everything!
The scenery changed abruptly. What was once a black earth and the sky above a majestic palace had instantly transformed into a world of endless flames burning fiercely!
Throughout the entire world of flames, there are also countless blazing fireballs that resemble miniature versions of stars!

"Ok?"

Qi Yuan immediately felt an extremely powerful pressure descend upon him, as if he were being shackled by a heavy chain!

His movements paused only slightly, and the seventh-level Domain Lord who was about to be enveloped by his blade light vanished in an instant.

Not only this seventh-level Domain Lord, but also, in Qi Yuan's perception, all the other Domain Lord-level and Universe-level Flame Blade Merchant Guild members who were originally in that golden palace also disappeared instantly.

In an instant, in the endless, burning world of blazing flames, only he and Barent remained.

"It seems that Barrent has taken it into his inner world."

Qi Yuan instantly understood what had happened.

Realm Lord level powerhouses have already created an incredibly realistic world within their bodies, where life can absolutely survive.

Just now, under the influence of Barent's world power, he naturally and instantly absorbed all his subordinates into his inner world.

Qi Yuan didn't show any surprise at this, after all, he understood that with his current strength, it was unrealistic to interrupt a World Lord from taking someone into his inner world.

However, it didn't matter. The reason he wanted to deal with Balent's subordinates first was simply because he was afraid that they would scatter and escape while he was fighting Balent, the world lord.

Now that Barent has taken them all into his inner world, it has completely dispelled his concerns.

"This Barent is really a good person. First, he helped me gather the core members of the Flame Blade Merchant Guild together, and now, fearing they might scatter and run away, he's taken them all into his inner world."

Qi Yuan gripped his knife and looked at Barent, a faint, mocking smile appearing on his face.

Barent, who was being stared at by Qi Yuan, felt an uncontrollable surge of anger rising within him.

A mere domain lord dared to come to Giant Shark Star to provoke him, a powerful realm lord, especially with all the core members of the Flame Blade Merchant Guild present.

Even if this domain lord is stronger than an ordinary domain lord, that is not a reason for him to challenge a realm lord!

At times like these, any nonsense is superfluous!
Even if he had doubts about the other party's motives, he would wait until he had completely subdued this domain lord who challenged his authority and abolished his ability to resist before he could do anything about it!

"Boy, once I capture you, I'll make you taste the most painful and torturous punishment in the world. I'll make you feel that even death is a luxury!" Barent's tone was icy.

However, endless blazing flames rose around him, making him look like a god who controlled fire.

"Die!"

Barent let out a low shout, and instantly the phantom of an endless world of flames descended, pressing down on Qi Yuan.

The crimson longsword in his hand, propelled by the power of the world, transformed into a giant crimson fire serpent that madly coiled around Qi Yuan!
"This is the World Lord's projection? It's indeed powerful!"

Feeling the overwhelming pressure emanating from all around him, Qi Yuan couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile.

At the same time, on his gleaming golden armor, twisted threads of secret patterns lit up one after another, and powerful forces 'stolen' from the Celestial Craft Tower by the bumblebee were instantly added to his body!

The wind formation made his figure even more ethereal and agile!
The array of light made his energy incredibly concentrated!
The lightning array made his attacks even more violent!
The Earth Formation grants him exceptional defense and power!
Water Formation
A series of mysterious magic arrays and incredibly powerful magical forces continuously enhanced him through the runic armor formed by the bumblebee. Qi Yuan felt his speed, strength, agility, defense, and so on all rapidly increasing!
An unprecedentedly powerful feeling instantly filled my heart!
brush!
With just a slight movement of his body, a series of illusory afterimages instantly appeared in the world of flames!

Unlike the spatial illusion created by geniuses who have mastered the laws of space, this is entirely a visual illusion left behind after reaching an extreme speed!
"Tsk~~"

Qi Yuan's figure rushed forward at high speed, and even the omnipresent pressure of the world around him could hardly have any effect on him anymore!
In the blink of an eye, he broke through the red fire dragon formed by the crimson longsword and rushed directly to Balent's side.

"thunder!"

Qi Yuan gave a low shout, and a strange purple light shone on the dark blue-black battle blade in his hand!
Wow!
The dazzling blade light was captivating and mesmerizing, and as it appeared, a scorching and intensely terrifying wave swept over the area.

Under this terrifying fluctuation, even the surrounding air and flames seemed to be electrified.

An invisible force field twisted and spread, instantly enveloping Barent!

This is a combination of Qi Yuan's understanding of the Thunder Array and the Thunder Domain!

With the ingenious combination of the Thunder Array, the power of the Thunder Domain is amplified infinitely, almost to the point that it can partially distort the projection of a World Lord's world!

"Why so fast!"

Barent was horrified and retreated instantly, while a vast amount of world power continuously poured into the crimson longsword.

Instantly, the giant fire serpent formed from the crimson longsword seemed to come alive, its head circling as it descended directly upon Qi Yuan!

"Humph!"

Qi Yuan snorted softly, but his figure instantly became strange and blurry.

Around his body, the flow of time seemed to change; the giant fire serpent seemed to be under some kind of slowing spell, becoming slow and sluggish.

Qi Yuan's speed increased rather than decreased, and he appeared in front of Barent almost instantly, while simultaneously slashing at Barent with a blade carrying endless violent energy!
"Ah, this is the power of the laws of time! Block it! Block it for me!"

As Barent retreated rapidly, he quickly drew a heavy black shield and held it in front of him.

"clang!"

Barent was sent flying by Qi Yuan's sword strike, which was filled with boundless violent power.

"How is this possible? How could a domain lord be so strong!"

Barent was shocked and dared not hold back in the slightest!

Swish Swish Swish~~~
As he swung his crimson longsword, he instantly drew upon the powerful force of the world, and the enormous fire serpent instantly split into many smaller crimson flame serpents.

"Chi chi chi~~~"

Countless tiny, crimson flame snakes swarmed around Qi Yuan's figure as he continued to charge forward.

Moreover, even before they got completely close, those crimson snakes, each containing powerful world energy, rapidly lit up—

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
One after another, tens of thousands of tiny red snakes exploded almost simultaneously!
This is a powerful technique that Barent comprehended after studying the 'fundamental law of fire'.

Perhaps his understanding of the laws was far inferior to Qi Yuan's, but this was still a powerful attack containing some of the power of the 'Original Law of Fire'!

A large number of crimson snakes containing the power of laws and the power of the world exploded simultaneously, and the resulting explosive force was terrifying!
Qi Yuan was instantly engulfed by the powerful, scorching energy, while shockwaves from the explosion continuously pounded against him.

"Containing the power of laws, the power of the world, the assistance of a world, and the power of a Force weapon, this move can be called my strongest attack!"

"So what if you're fast? Surrounded by the Fire Serpent Feast, where can you escape to? Die, die!"

Barent, hovering in the air in the distance holding a huge shield, looked on expectantly.

However, in the next instant, the expectation on his face turned into utter astonishment and anger!
Surrounded by his blazing flames, a figure clad in golden, patterned armor pierced through and flew out.

The terrifying power of the flames, which contained his strongest attack, did not leave the slightest mark on him!
"He's not dead! Why isn't he dead yet! A domain lord, how come he's completely unharmed by my strongest attack, and his aura doesn't even seem to have weakened in the slightest!"

At this moment, Barent felt that his beliefs were about to collapse.

He was a powerful second-tier Realm Lord, possessing the power of a Realm Lord, a projection of a world, and even the power of laws, yet he was still unable to do anything to a Domain Lord.
"A domain lord so powerful, could he be a core genius cultivated by the five major powers?!"

Barent was instantly stunned by a guess that had been forming in his mind.

However, his speculation was destined never to be confirmed.
After Qi Yuan easily withstood Balent's strongest attack, the outcome of the battle was no longer in doubt.

After only a few tentative pulls, Qi Yuan directly drew upon the power of the laws of thunder and time to simultaneously empower himself.

He seemed to be riding on endless lightning, and even the flow of time around him was subtly altered!

All of this made his movements incredibly strange and fast!
laugh!
After Barent's all-out attack missed, Qi Yuan's figure instantly appeared behind him!
"boom!"

The Force Blade, wreathed in an eerie purple light, ripped him in two at the waist.

Before Barent could beg for mercy, the explosive lightning energy contained in the Force Blade erupted, instantly shattering the life core in the half-body that was trying to escape!
