Swallowing the Stars: Sacrifice for a Thousandfold Return

Lu Ming waved his hand: "You are my disciple, and it is my duty to protect you. Alright, go and prepare. The clan should contact you soon."

After ending the call, Luo Feng stood in the virtual universe, his heart filled with gratitude for his teacher.

He knew that if Lu Ming hadn't intervened, with his current strength and status, he would have had no chance of retaining ownership of Earth.

"teacher……"

Luo Feng murmured to himself, a determined light shining in his eyes.

"I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Meanwhile, on the other side, Lu Ming, after arranging matters on Earth, had a cold glint in his eyes once more. Now, it was time to deal with that reckless Nightmare Candle King!

Chapter 126 Death of Nightmare Candle King

Lu Ming's figure appeared in the central palace of the Qianwu Secret Realm, where the Qianwu King had been waiting for a long time.

"Lord of the Ashes of the Universe".

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom bowed respectfully.

Lu Ming walked straight to the throne and sat down, his gaze icy: "Bring Nightmare Candle King up here."

Soon, the Nightmare Candle King, bound by divine chains, was escorted into the palace.

Upon seeing Lu Ming, he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Lord Jinyu, spare my life! I was confused for a moment, I am willing to compensate Luo Feng for all the losses..."

Lu Ming stared at him coldly without saying a word.

Seeing that Lu Ming remained unmoved, the Nightmare Candle King hurriedly invoked his powerful backer: "My father is the Fire Erosion Venerable. I beg Lord of the Ash Universe to consider my father's reputation..."

"Ah."

Lu Ming couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Erosion Venerable? A mid-level universe Venerable dares to ask me for face?"

Nightmare Candle King's face turned deathly pale instantly; he finally realized the kind of being he had offended.

The Lord of Jinyu before them was a powerful figure capable of directly confronting the Lord of Tianlang, so a mere Venerable of Erosion Fire was indeed nothing in his eyes.

Lu Ming was too lazy to say anything more and simply raised his hand and waved it lightly.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!"

Countless fragments of space instantly coalesced, transforming into billions of sharp blades that completely enveloped the Nightmare Candle King.

Amidst the piercing screams, the Nightmare Candle King's divine body was completely annihilated, leaving not even a trace.

The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom watched in horror.

Lu Ming slowly stood up and instructed the Qianwu Kingdom Lord: "Tell Venerable Shi Huo that the Nightmare Candle King must not be resurrected within ten million years. If he is to be resurrected after ten million years, the Nightmare Candle King must serve a hundred million years in the clan's prison."

He paused, his tone turning cold: "If I am found to have violated this order during this period, then let them be completely annihilated."

"Yes!"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom quickly agreed, silently mourning for Venerable Shihuo.

Offending someone like the Lord of the Ashes is simply bad luck.

Having given birth to this unfortunate son,

After dealing with the Nightmare Candle King, Lu Ming's anger finally subsided somewhat. He looked at the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler: "Continue to keep an eye on Luo Feng. If any alien race dares to attack him in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, kill them without exception."

"Please rest assured, Lord of Jinyu."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom made a solemn promise.

Lu Ming nodded, and his figure slowly disappeared into the palace.

He needs to go back to continue his seclusion. This incident was just a minor episode; improving his strength is the most important thing.

After Lu Ming left, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom immediately contacted Venerable Shihuo and conveyed the orders of Lord Jinyu verbatim.

One can imagine how shocked and helpless Venerable Fiery would be upon learning this news.

All of this was within Lu Ming's expectations.

In the face of absolute power, any background is meaningless.

This is the law of the universe!

The vast universe, a desolate starry sky.

Three thoughts pierced through endless space and descended upon this star field, faintly revealing three majestic figures.

Firstly, it is exquisitely beautiful; the slender figure appears and disappears amidst endless light, and simply looking at her is enough to make even the most revered beings in the universe lose their senses.

A huge, oval-shaped black sphere was suspended in another location.

The last figure was surrounded by thousands of snake shadows, with a huge silver-white snake head overlooking the starry sky, and the surrounding spacetime was distorted into a vortex.

"Your Majesty, where is the Zhenjiao?"

The enormous black sphere emitted a sound.

"I can handle things for our demon race."

The silver-white snake heads emitted sounds, and their voices instantly reached each other's ears, as if the original universe's limit on the speed of light was meaningless in front of them.

"Mechanic, you were the one who summoned my demon tribe and the Zerg tribe. The Zerg Queen and I are here, and it's time to talk."

"Mechanics, speak."

The vaguely slender figure spoke, her voice filled with endless allure.

"it is good."

The black sphere emitted a sound.

"Lu Ming, who has recently emerged from the human race protected by the giant axe, is growing at an alarming rate. How long has it been since he went from being an immortal to possessing the combat power of a universe master? If we allow him to continue growing, he will surely become a major threat to our three races in the future!"

"It really should be eradicated as soon as possible."

The slender figure spoke softly.

"But how can we eliminate him? He is almost invincible in the primordial universe. With his enormous divine body and soul defense treasure, even if we take action ourselves, it will be difficult to annihilate him in a short time."

The silver snake head also spoke up: "Moreover, his whereabouts are unpredictable. Although he occasionally goes to secret realms in the universe for training, it is not easy to pinpoint his location."

"That's exactly what I'm saying."

Black spherical path.

"Lu Ming's rise to power is too recent; he needs constant combat to hone his skills. Even with artifacts like the virtual universe, the human race still needs real-world experience. We can take advantage of that!"

"what do you mean……"

Her slender figure seemed lost in thought.

"We can set a trap."

The black sphere continued.

"The Zerg Queen, who is skilled in soul attacks, will personally take action. But the prerequisite is that Lu Ming's location must be locked to ensure that he cannot escape."

The silver snake head nodded: "The Lord of the Ember Universe has only recently broken through, so he probably won't be heading to the Cosmic Sea anytime soon. We still have a chance within the Primal Universe, but that chance will likely only come once; otherwise, we'll just have to wait for him to go to the Cosmic Sea."

"Yes."

Black spherical path.

"We can lay a trap, creating a secret realm he can't avoid. Once he steps into the trap, the Queen can personally intervene and annihilate him with a soul attack!"

The slender figure hesitated for a moment: "The price will be high. If we fail, it will not only completely enrage the human race, but it may also make Lu Ming more vigilant."

"But if it succeeds, the rewards will be even greater!"

Silver snake-head road.

"Okay, I agree."

The slender figure finally nodded.

"I agree."

Silver snake-head road.

"very good."

The enormous oval black sphere vanished, followed by the vague, slender figure and the silver snake head surrounded by countless snake shadows, all disappearing into thin air.

The starry sky returned to tranquility, and no one knew that three of the greatest beings in the universe had once plotted here.

……

Human territory, primitive secret realm.

Lu Ming stood in his divine kingdom, feeling the surging divine power within him.

After this period of seclusion, he has basically mastered the newly acquired treasure, and his strength has reached a new level.

"Master, news has arrived."

Qingyuan appeared beside Lu Ming.

"An ancient ruin has been discovered in the 'Netherworld Secret Realm,' which is said to be related to the strongest being in the universe."

A hint of interest flashed in Lu Ming's eyes: "The ruins left behind by the strongest being in the universe?"

"Yes."

Qingyuan nodded.

"According to the investigation, the fluctuations emanating from that ruin are extremely ancient, and it is very likely the place of inheritance left by the strongest being in the ancient universe."

"The clans must also be paying attention to this kind of secret realm."

"Yes, Master, the clan has already dispatched many powerful individuals."

Lu Ming pondered for a moment.

"Alright, let's go join in the fun."

He looked at the little Lei peeking out from his shoulder.
