Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 156

This discovery relieved King Sharp, and a ferocious smile finally appeared on his face.

As is well known, the human immortals are relatively weak among their peers due to their inherent abilities. In the outer battlefield, they mainly rely on the advantages of equipment resources and the virtual universe network system.

"We can bully him a bit and let this newcomer experience the cruelty of the extraterritorial battlefield."

With a firm resolve, Sharp King couldn't help but stomp his four legs on the ground, and his twin blades clashed together with a crisp sound.

"As expected of the battlefield outside the domain, even a random King-level Immortal is so irritable."

Having discovered that the enemy also showed signs of attack, Lu Yunhe naturally chose to strike first.

Swish!

Lu Yunhe casually put the spaceship into his storage ring, gripped the Void Divine Weapon with both hands, and slammed himself into the ground like a celestial fire descending from heaven.

"As expected of a newcomer!"

Seeing this, Sharp King revealed a disdainful smile, his hands, which were like scimitars, moved lightly, and he swung dozens of slashes in the blink of an eye.

Each blade of light contained the power to become an immortal king, yet not a single ounce of power was leaked during the strike, and not even space itself was broken.

It should be noted that even the power of a World Lord can shatter space, let alone the power of a King-level immortal.

This single strike was enough to demonstrate the unparalleled control that the Sharp King possessed.

In comparison, although Lu Yunhe's attack appeared to be grand in scale, it was clear that his power was not concentrated in one place.

Ding ding dong...

Lu Yunhe brandished his illusory divine weapon, clashing with the blade beams. His falling figure was instantly stopped, and he even became somewhat flustered in his response.

The dozens of attacks unleashed by Sharp King at the same time were connected in one breath, making it impossible to discern their strength. However, in actual collisions, it was discovered that these sword energies varied in strength.

The strong ones reached the advanced level of the King-level, while the weak ones were only at the initial level of the King-level. The two intertwined and cooperated, sometimes hidden and sometimes revealed, making Lu Yunhe, who only had the power of a 20,000-fold Realm Lord, completely unable to resist.

"call!"

Faced with the Sharp Edge King's sword energy array, Lu Yunhe retreated instantly, drawing a clear arc in mid-air before barely managing to escape the coverage area.

However, the next moment, a dark shadow drew a zigzag shape in mid-air and quickly circled behind Lu Yunhe.

"Now that you've decided to make a move, don't hesitate!"

The sharp-edged swords flashed with a cold light and instantly reached Lu Yunhe's front, unleashing countless more strikes in a flash.

In just one exchange, Lu Yunhe was once again suppressed and found it difficult to keep up with his opponent's pace.

As an extension of his body, Jianfeng Wang's twin swords achieved a level of unity between man and sword in his swordsmanship.

Every swing of the blade was free and unrestrained. The two curved blades on the left and right sometimes had varying strength and speed, and sometimes one blade would unleash absolute power while the other was hidden behind like a venomous snake, constantly affecting the opponent's mind.

The Blade Clan are natural-born masters of swordsmanship; their hands, which resemble twin blades, are their strongest... uh, most suitable weapons.

The Blade Clan are oviparous beings, and every newborn member of the clan is sent to a sacred place to be conceived.

The special energy contained within the sacred site strengthens the eggshell—yes, it strengthens the eggshell, and incidentally, it helps to nurture newborns.

If a newborn cannot break the eggshell on its own, it will be imprisoned until death, thus filtering out some of the tribe members who lack talent.

Newborns that successfully hatch will absorb the power of the eggshell into their hands, which will then grow along with them and can be used until they become immortal gods.

"Too slow, too slow..."

Sharp King wielded his twin blades with impenetrable precision, giving his enemies no chance to breathe once he gained the upper hand.

He launched a fierce attack, a relentless assault. Being able to bully a King-level Immortal in this way filled Sharp Edge King with secret pleasure, and his previous gloom vanished instantly.

"This pressure is good!"

Although he was being unilaterally suppressed by the Sharp King, Lu Yunhe was not angry. Instead, he actively looked for the gap between the two and sought ways to improve.

Before reaching a major bottleneck (fully comprehending the laws of space), the level of understanding of the laws of space is basically achieved through daily accumulation of insights.

In terms of basic strength, Lu Yunhe was not in a hurry. He could unleash power exceeding the peak of the King-level realm whenever he wanted.

Therefore, the only things that can be improved relatively quickly in combat are swordsmanship, skills, and other forms of experience.

"You dare to be distracted while fighting me!" Sharp King sneered, his twin swords moving even faster.

"Distracted!"

Hearing this, Lu Yunhe felt a pang of emotion. Once the sword is drawn, there is no going back. Since he had decided to draw his sword, he should not add any more constraints to it.

Move with your sword, don't overthink, fight by feeling. Every second you think will slow down your sword swing.

However, as soon as Lu Yunhe changed his move, he was forced to flee in terror by Jianfeng Wang. The difference in the opponent's swordsmanship, honed over countless years, and his level of understanding of the laws was far beyond what Lu Yunhe could make up for with instinct alone.

One wrong move and Lu Yunhe's six magic robes were slashed with many marks, and some attacks even hit him directly.

However, Lu Yunhe's body was also at the King level. Even without the weakening effect of the Six Paths Robe, a mere high-level King attack could not harm his essence.

……

"Forget it, let's just follow the human methods." Lu Yunhe instantly abandoned the idea of ​​fighting based on instinct.

"The fastest way to improve is through learning, imitation, and innovation!"

As for learning, Lu Yunhe had already studied a large number of sword techniques in the virtual universe, and his foundation was already well established.

Imitation is the most suitable choice for the swordsmanship master at the King level right now.

"Complete imitation!"

Lu Yunhe observed every move of the Sharp King, recording the trajectory and force of each return perfectly.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, the illusory divine weapon split into two, each wielding a sword and clashing with the Twin Blades of the Sharp King.

Sharp-Edged King's blade was fast, and Lu Yunhe's sword was fast too. The blade was slow, and the sword was slow; the blade slashed, and the sword slashed...

Ignoring the difference in physique, Lu Yunhe's movements are almost identical to those of Jianfeng Wang. The only difference is that due to the difference in strength, he cannot replicate them one-to-one.

"imitate!"

Seeing Lu Yunhe's actions, Sharp King instantly recognized the other party's purpose and snorted coldly.

Can you keep up?

In the blink of an eye, Sharp-Edged King's swordsmanship changed 1200 times, leaving Lu Yunhe completely unable to defend himself, and instantly his body was covered in countless wounds.

However, Lu Yunhe didn't care about this. He even took the time to put the dark gold armor of the King-level that he had bought earlier inside the Six Paths Robe, because the latter could automatically repair itself.

With a King-level battle armor, a King-level plant-based battle suit, and a King-level beginner body, the blade of the Sharp King, now at the King-level advanced stage, gradually became impenetrable.

At this moment, Lu Yunhe completely abandoned defense, letting the sharp-edged king's attacks land on him, and focused on imitating the opponent's swordsmanship.

The attack failed to break through his defenses, and the Sharp King felt a pang of envy and jealousy: "How wealthy the human race is."

As the dominant race, the human race has a large number of vassal races that generate wealth for them.

Putting everything else aside, the price difference of a single item is enough to make someone incredibly wealthy, which they then use to give back to the entire community.

For example, a King-level armor might only cost a human immortal 100 million Chaos Units, but a vassal alien race might have to pay 200-300 million. Not to mention some non-saleable items that might require contributing resources and exchanging contribution points before one is even eligible to buy them...

Sensing the difference in strength, Sharp King increased the pressure on his hands, thinking to himself, "So what if this human is rich? In the end, I'll still beat him up."

What Sharp Edge King was thinking naturally had no effect on Lu Yunhe at the moment.

At this moment, Lu Yunhe was completely immersed in imitation, trying to understand why this master swordsman slashed like that and why his strike was so fast.

They even put themselves in the other person's shoes, experiencing their feelings and thoughts as they waved.

Time passed slowly, and for the immortal gods...

There are three ways to fight. One is to fight to the death, where everyone burns their divine power and fights desperately, and the winner will be decided in a very short time.

The second type is a protracted battle. If one side doesn't want to fight, it will evolve into a chase, and the battle can last for hundreds or even thousands of years.

The last type is direct combat. Attacks from two kings cannot penetrate the essence of the enemy. Without fighting desperately, they can fight until the end of time, until neither side wants to fight anymore.

After all, those who are granted the title of Marquis are immortal, and so are those who are granted the title of King.

After a period of training (beating), Lu Yunhe was still being suppressed, but he was finally able to keep up with the opponent's fighting rhythm, and it even looked like two Blade Clan members were fighting.

"After complete imitation comes incremental innovation!"

In imitating the fighting style of the Sharp King, Lu Yunhe gradually began to add his own elements and rhythm.

If the style is imitating knife techniques, then elements of swordsmanship should be incorporated. If Sharp King's slash was fast, then his swordplay should be slow...

Lu Yunhe kept experimenting with his ideas in battle, searching for a fighting style that suited him.

Most importantly, if there's a problem with this idea, then Sharp Edge King, the master of swordsmanship, will be very cooperative in finding flaws, giving Lu Yunhe a couple of blows, and telling him exactly where he's lacking.

During this period of battle, Lu Yunhe lost count of how many times his Six Paths Robe had been damaged. Fortunately, the energy hidden on the back of his Divine Tree clone allowed him to repair it at any time.

After incremental innovation comes integration and mastery, making these experiences a part of oneself.

From the surface to the core, from the external to the internal, Lu Yunhe gradually incorporated what he had learned from Jianfeng Wang into his own swordsmanship.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Sharp King became increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed. Although he was still able to keep up with Lu Yunhe, he could clearly feel the speed at which his opponent was improving.

From initially being unfamiliar with the King-level combat, to now being able to reach 50% of his level, the speed of progress is simply too fast.

"Could this human be a genius?"

The Sharp King thought to himself, "Those who can become immortal kings can almost all be called geniuses."

If it is a genius among geniuses, then it is unparalleled.

It should be noted that Sharp King has reached his current level through countless years of hard work and refinement, without a single element of shortcuts.

But in just one battle, his experience was largely absorbed by the enemy; anyone would find that unbearable.

"Don't fight, don't fight!"

While it may feel good to bully the weak, if you find that you can bully them but can't actually hurt them, and you're only giving them experience points, then no one would want to continue fighting.

If you hesitate, the knife will move slowly.

"You're slowing down!"

Lu Yunhe sneered, "You think you can just leave after you've finished fighting? There's no such thing as a free lunch."

"You're not going anywhere unless you train with me for a hundred years."

Having finally found a top-notch sparring partner, Lu Yunhe wasn't about to let him go so easily. He immediately pressed close to him, not giving the other person a chance to breathe.

Faced with Lu Yunhe's relentless pursuit, although Jianfeng Wang had reached the realm of immortal king, the spatial mysteries he had comprehended were not teleportation, so he could not leave directly.
