Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 158

Seeing Lu Yunhe chasing after him again, Sharp King was completely desperate and gave up on escaping.

"Human, you have won. This is the first time I have encountered an enemy like you since I became a king."

Then, to Lu Yunhe's puzzled look, Sharp King lay down on the ground.

Slack off...

Sharp King completely backed down, refusing to make a move no matter how much Lu Yunhe provoked him.

Even when faced with attacks aimed at him, Sharp King did not resist, letting the attacks hit him. Anyway, they couldn't kill him, so he could do whatever he wanted.

"have to!"

Seeing this, Lu Yunhe instantly felt a headache coming on. Just as you can't wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep, you can't get someone who has decided to give up to cheer up again.

"Forget it!"

Lu Yunhe poked the Sharp Queen, who was as lifeless as a salted fish, twice with his sword, then lost interest and turned to leave.

Watching Lu Yunhe's departing figure, Sharp King suddenly realized something: "As long as I'm a piece of trash, I'm invincible."

Breaking through to the level of a Cosmic Venerable is terrifyingly difficult, with absolutely no hope in sight. Sharp King felt he could consider relaxing a bit, since the lifespan of an immortal god is almost infinite, and it's time to enjoy it.

"Let me earn some more money, then I'll go home and support my wife and have children," Sharp King thought to himself.

……

Meanwhile, the Black Serpent King, who had interfered with Lu Yunhe on the other side, also felt a sense of pleasure.

In the monotonous and tedious life of being a king, being able to cause a little trouble for the enemy is like a spice in life.

However, the Black Serpent King would soon find things less boring, as Lu Yunhe arrived, sword in hand, exuding murderous intent.

"Humanity!"

The Black Serpent King felt a jolt of fear as it looked at the murderous Lu Yunhe, but its high-level King-rank strength still gave it confidence, and a disdainful smile appeared on its serpentine face:

"What, you lost your target and want to get revenge?"

"Although this giant snake is not as good as that Sharp King, it's better to have it than nothing. A King-level expert still has some resources."

Lu Yunhe looked at the Black Serpent King with a cold expression. The entire Dark Continent was still so vast, and encountering a King-level expert was not so easy.

chi chi chi...

Lu Yunhe then charged directly at the giant snake below, carrying the Void Divine Weapon. He wanted to apply what he had learned from the Peak King to this large creature and see how it would work.

"They actually dared to make a move!"

Seeing Lu Yunhe make a move, the Black Serpent King laughed heartily. Being able to fight a King-level expert was a good way to pass the time, especially since the opponent was a human.

Then the Black Serpent King discovered something even more pleasing to him: this human was weaker than him, allowing him to teach this human a lesson.

Unfortunately, as the fight progressed, the Black Serpent King gradually encountered the same problem as the Sharp King: once the battle was started, how could it be ended?

Once a war is started, it's uncertain who will end it.

Five years later……

"Human, haven't you had enough?"

The Black Serpent King roared, but his angry voice was tinged with a hint of grievance: "If you stop, I will tell you the locations of all the King-level experts I know!"

"Bring it here!"

Lu Yunhe said calmly, "To be honest, I'm getting a little tired of slaying this giant snake. It's time to find another opponent."

With the information given by the Black Serpent King, Lu Yunhe continued to roam the upper levels of the Dark Continent.

Along the way, Lu Yunhe also took the opportunity to test the effects of his self-created secret technique on some of the other races he encountered who had been granted titles of nobility.

Moreover, unlike fighting against kings, every strike from Lu Yunhe against these marquis immortals is deadly.

Faced with the attack of a King-level Immortal, these Marquis-level Immortals also used their trump cards one after another, with various methods emerging one after another, which impressed Lu Yunhe.

Some of those who achieved immortality through their ennoblement possessed extremely sophisticated methods, even managing to escape right under Lu Yunhe's nose.

Besides the Sharp King and the Black Serpent King, Lu Yunhe also encountered some other King-level Immortals one after another. Once he encountered them, he did not let them go and had a "friendly" exchange with them.

By fighting against the Kings and accumulating experience, perfecting his self-created secret techniques, and then using the blood of the immortal Marquises to consecrate his sword, Lu Yunhe's time on the battlefield outside the domain was very fulfilling.

Because of his frenzied fighting, Lu Yunhe finally earned his title of King – War Mad King!

After being granted the title of King, Lu Yunhe's fame soared, and even some powerful Kings came to him to challenge him to a duel.

During this time, Lu Yunhe did not use any power exceeding that of a high-level King, otherwise, not only would he not be sought after, but anyone below the peak of King status would run away at the sight of him.

Chapter 228 Self-Created Secret Method

Virtual Universe - Hongmeng City!

In an environment similar to Earth, Lu Yunhe was chatting with several powerful figures who had reached the King level under a tree.

After Lu Yunhe earned the title of "Battle Mad King", Hongmeng invited him to join.

The Hongmeng is an alliance primarily composed of humans, along with affiliated races.

After all, alliances between races cannot be maintained by allowing the five major human powers to communicate as separate entities.

The Hongmeng is a gathering place for the vast majority of powerful individuals of the human race and its subordinate races who hold the rank of King or higher.

The number of King-level experts who joined the human race exceeded 100,000, while the number of King-level experts from other races was even more staggering, exceeding three million.

"War King, which king have you been causing trouble for today?"

A king clad in scale armor, with dark green pupils, raised a wine cup and joked. On his sleeve were two star-shaped markings.

The strength of official members of the Hongmeng is determined by their battle record. The stronger the record, the higher the strength rating. The rating is based on one star, two stars, three stars... up to seven stars, a very simple rating system. All strong members will have star marks on their arm guards or cuffs.

One star is the level when you first join Hongmeng. It is usually at the level of a King Immortal.

Two stars is considered a strong figure among those who have been granted the title of King.

Samsung, the ultimate king.

Four stars, the initial level of the cosmic venerable, even the True King can be classified into this level.

……

The seven stars represent the initial level of the Lord of the Universe, a level that even the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace can be classified into.

Lu Yunhe has not fully revealed his strength, so he still only has one Star Mark.

"How can this be considered causing trouble? It's clearly a friendly exchange, a chance for mutual improvement, but unfortunately they don't appreciate it at all." Lu Yunhe picked up his teacup and smiled. Because he doesn't like drinking alcohol, he mostly drinks tea.

"After all, not everyone can progress as rapidly as you, War King," a three-eyed alien king remarked.

The kings present are all located on the Dark Continent, so they often communicate and exchange ideas in Hongmeng City.

"There have been some unusual developments in the lower levels of the Dark Continent recently. It seems that someone has found traces of those natives again." The Crimson Armor King swirled his wine glass slightly and suddenly revealed a shocking piece of news.

"Indigenous people, really?"

Upon hearing this news, the eyes on the head of the Three-Eyed Alien King instantly opened.

What does it mean to discover indigenous people on a battlefield outside the region? It means that the wealth of a race is beckoning to them.

Even the meager wealth of an ordinary race, even just a little bit of oil, is enough for the kings to make a fortune.

“No wonder I saw some Kings searching for something in the dungeon, so that’s why.” Another human immortal at the table said thoughtfully.

"So I plan to invite everyone to explore the lower levels together and try to be the first to find that indigenous group."

The Crimson Armor King spoke confidently, believing that once this news was released, no king would be able to resist the temptation.

If traces of indigenous people are indeed discovered, it will surely trigger another bloody battle among the kings.

Although the Crimson Armor King was very confident in his strength, once the number of Kings increased, the strength of a mere two-star King was completely insufficient to support the situation. Therefore, they still needed to unite.

"Okay, I'll join!"

"I'll join in too!"

……

Upon hearing the words of the Crimson Armor King, the other kings present nodded in agreement, and finally turned their gaze to Lu Yunhe, who had not spoken.

"I have some things to take care of, so I won't be going for now." Lu Yunhe shook his head slightly, declining to participate in this group activity.

He preferred acting alone to acting in a group, and the fact that the natives had been able to hide in the Dark Continent for so long meant that even if some traces were found, it would probably be difficult to find the target in a short time, requiring a lot of time to investigate.

Lu Yunhe's strength was far from reaching its bottleneck, so he naturally didn't want to waste time searching for the natives.

"War King, it would be such a shame if you didn't join us."

The Crimson Armor King sighed slightly. Among this group of people, the one he favored the most was the Battle Mad King. He had a very high talent and would probably reach the strength of a two-star level in no time.

However, since Lu Yunhe had already refused, the Crimson Armor King naturally couldn't force him.

After refusing, Lu Yunhe took his leave, leaving the space to the remaining people.

……

Dark Continent!

Lu Yunhe stood atop a massive mountain peak, gazing at the undulating mountain range below, as a wisp of consciousness slowly returned from the virtual universe network.

"Two hundred years have passed, and my secret technique is now basically complete."

Unbeknownst to him, Lu Yunhe had been on the Dark Continent for over two hundred years.

In the past two hundred years, Lu Yunhe has fought against dozens of powerful kings and killed hundreds, if not thousands, of immortal marquises.

With his extensive combat experience and powerful foundation, Lu Yunhe directly created two sets of "top-tier" combat techniques, or more accurately, two and a half sets.

While creating the secret technique, Lu Yunhe also understood why experts at the King level could basically create top-tier secret techniques.

Fault tolerance!

Besides their own high level of cultivation, it's also because it's very difficult for a King-level expert to die.

Creating a secret technique requires a lot of combat experience, and those who are realm lords, immortal military lords, or even marquis immortals can easily die in battle before they can even finish creating the secret technique.

Just like Lu Yunhe, in the past two hundred years, he has also encountered some Marquis Immortals who created one or two top-level secret techniques, but they still could not escape the fate of death.
