Chapter 582: Superpowers, Regret Killing
Although if we extend the time span, there are countless heroes throughout the ages, but in each era, there seem to be only a handful of people who can be called heroes.

And among this small number of people, only a very small number have the opportunity to gain power, ascend all the way to the sky, and become powerful, or the star gods as outsiders call them.

In other words, every powerful person can be called a hero among heroes, a hero among heroes.

People like this are naturally not lacking in abilities, and they all have their own paths to take, as well as their own ambitions and aspirations - in other words, no one is willing to submit to anyone else. After all, everyone has fought their way to the top through their own abilities, so why should they listen to you?

If one has not yet become a powerful person, this kind of disagreement is actually relatively easy to resolve. All one has to do is catch the opponent and beat him until he kneels down and is on the verge of death. Facing the threat of death, the winner will naturally be determined.

But only at the level of great power, this kind of thing cannot be done.

The powerful ones would occasionally fight to the death, but that was often just today's fight. Even if they lost today, what about tomorrow?
As the saying goes, even tiles will turn over one day, and the east wind will turn south. To achieve great power and soar into the sky, everyone has experienced countless hardships and tribulations, and survived the near-death experience time and time again - in other words, for most of the powerful, as long as they are not dead, they have not lost, and there is still a chance.

However, this is where the problem lies. It is impossible to tell who is superior and who is inferior, and no one is willing to submit to anyone else, so naturally they cannot form a faction or an organization.

Therefore, although the number of powerful people has been increasing, their relationship is still relatively loose. No one can command anyone, and no one can instruct anyone.

But this time, something was an exception.

"This old dog Wenquxing..."

The powerful man who landed on the top of the mountain couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

However, compared to the rulers of the Central Plains who were always vying for the throne, this Baizu Star Lord was more inclined to study the power itself. In the eyes of Baizu Star Lord, these mundane powers were nothing but passing clouds, and the real power that decided everything was ultimately the power of life and death brought by power.

Facts have proved that the judgment of the Centipede Star Lord was indeed correct. His extraordinary strength not only stabilized his power, but also brought him a long life. So after enduring for more than two hundred years, the Centipede Star Lord finally broke through, flew to the sky, and achieved the honor of a powerful person.

This world speaks with power.

The Centipede Star Lord has always felt this way.

But recently, things have changed.

Everything started with the expedition against the extraterritorial demon. Originally, Baizu Star Lord was a little confused as to how powerful the extraterritorial demon was that it was worthy of all the powerful men joining forces to conquer it. However, the extraterritorial demon was indeed strong enough. Baizu Star Lord still remembered that in that battle, many powerful men were killed several times, and even he himself was stabbed.

But he was only hit by one blow. The extraterritorial demon was not strong enough to kill him with one blow. Even his counterattack caused considerable trouble to the extraterritorial demon.

This also made Baizu Star Lord more confused.

This extraterritorial demon was indeed strong, but obviously not so strong that it required a large-scale military mobilization. Thousands of powerful beings gathered together, and the fight seemed to be massive, but as an eyewitness, Baizu Xingjun always felt that many of them were just there to make up the numbers - in other words, many of them did not have the strength to participate in such a battle at all, but were still dragged in.

The consequence of participating in a battle that you shouldn't have participated in is naturally being killed on the spot. Even if you can rely on life-saving means to revive a few more times, you will only be killed a few more times.

So the reason why that battle seemed so brutal was mainly because a bunch of irrelevant powerful people were queuing up to die.

It was precisely because these weak powerful beings left their corpses behind time and time again that the extraterritorial demon was able to stand on the mountain of corpses, appearing terrifyingly powerful.

"There must be something wrong here."

The Centipede Star Lord was keenly aware of the abnormality. He always felt that this demon from outside the domain was just a trigger.

Facts have proved that the perception of the Centipede Star Lord was correct, because even after a great battle, the extraterritorial demon was successfully defeated, and the gathered powerful people did not disperse - because the extraterritorial demon had not yet died completely and needed to be suppressed, so Wenquxing proposed to gather the power of all the powerful people to divide and suppress the body of the extraterritorial demon to prevent future troubles.

Therefore, due to the presence of the fierce enemy, the extraterritorial demons, the originally loosely organized powerful people were organized.

With an organization, one naturally has to obey its dispatches. After all, no one wants the extraterritorial demon to come back to life and slaughter the world again. It is for this reason that the Centipede Star Lord was sent here to suppress the remnants of the extraterritorial demon that were suspected to have revived.

The one who issued this transfer order was Wenquxing.

He is Wenquxing, whose strength is far inferior to his own.

"Who the hell are you! How dare you ask me to do something!"

When he received this order, Baizu Xingjun slammed the table on the spot. It would be fine if Wenquxing could beat him, but the problem was that Wenquxing was far inferior to him. A weak person who was far inferior to him was ordering a strong man like him to do things? Why? On what basis?
"Why don't you go yourself? And them, why don't they go?"

"We still have more things to do, not to mention our strength is only average."

The Centipede Star Lord still remembers what the middle-aged scholar with white hair and beard said.

"Since Senior Baizu is stronger than us, he must be able to handle this matter... Thank you for the trouble."

You guys have things to do, but I don’t?
The Centipede Star Lord was very angry. You know, his cultivation of poisonous insects has reached a critical stage and he couldn't leave. How could he have the time to care about the remains of the extraterritorial demon?

But now that things had come to this, the Centipede Star Lord had no reason to refuse, so he could only come over specifically to check out the unusual movements here.

"That old dog Wenquxing...he definitely did it on purpose!"

The Centipede Star Lord cursed once again. He felt more and more that this demon from outside the domain was not that important. Instead, it was Wenquxing who was the one who deserved to die.

"When I get back, I will kill you!"

Taking a deep breath, the Centipede Star Lord raised his hand and summoned a giant centipede that was several feet long, and then rode the centipede into the mountain.

This mountain is the seal itself, and inside is the remains of the extraterritorial demon. According to Wenquxing, Fenglingxingjun will be there to meet him. If Fenglingxingjun is fine, he can just go back directly - the whole process, rather than saying that he was asked to come here to solve the problem, it would be better to say that he was asked to come here to pass on a message. That's all he can do.

He also knew Feng Ling Xingjun. Feng Ling Xingjun was on good terms with Wen Quxing and could even be said to be a loyal fan of Wen Quxing - but what made Bai Zu Xingjun most angry was that Feng Ling Xingjun was not as strong as him.

Two people who are not as strong as him can order him to act as a messenger to deliver messages. Is this what Wenquxing is going to do?
"I should have known better than to join this Ten Thousand Star Alliance!"

Thinking of this, Baizu Xingjun couldn't help but spit. He suddenly felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he shouldn't have participated in the crusade against the extraterritorial demons. That way, he wouldn't have been coerced, and naturally he wouldn't have fallen to this point. When he returned, he would quit the Ten Thousand Star Alliance. This was not a place he could stay.

"So...wait, why did I suddenly start thinking about this?"

Thinking of this, the Centipede Star Lord suddenly frowned.

No matter how bad the recent events were, as an old and powerful man, he would not be unable to handle even this little emotion. Complaining is complaining, and doing things is doing things. He can still distinguish between these things - but just now, he suddenly couldn't tell the difference, and even began to complain while doing things, confusing the two together.

"What's going on here?"

The Centipede Star Lord vaguely felt that something seemed to be wrong.

However, he did not have time to worry about this little thing, because he had already entered the mountain. The giant centipede hovered in the cavity of the mountain for a while, and the Centipede Star Lord discovered the abnormality here.

First of all, Feng Ling Xingjun died. Even though Feng Ling Xingjun was much weaker than him, he was at least a powerful man with some strength. However, this god-like existence in the eyes of mortals was now left with only a broken body lying on the ground.

Behind this corpse, the remains of the extraterritorial demon that was supposed to be sealed there has disappeared.

"Did something really happen?"

The Centipede Star Lord frowned slightly.

With just a wave of his hand, the huge centipede that was several meters long curled up, and with a teeth-grinding sound of mechanical coupling, the huge centipede turned into a long black staff in a moment.

After picking up the long staff, the Centipede Star God who fell to the ground swung the long staff and waved it above his head.

The green poison instantly filled the entire cavity of the mountain.

Yes, this is the tactic that Baizu Star Lord is best at, especially in such a closed environment, his poison can actually produce the greatest effect - as for himself, he had already practiced to be immune to all poisons more than two hundred years before he became the Star Lord, and after becoming a powerful being, these little poisonous fogs have no effect on him at all.

But that would have no effect on him alone. If any other powerful being came here, no matter how high his cultivation was, he would only be able to survive in this poisonous fog for three breaths at most.

After three breaths, even a powerful person would probably die on the spot.

"So you're not coming out yet?"

The Centipede Star Lord's gaze pierced through the poisonous fog and examined the surrounding environment.

"No need to hide. You didn't leave. You probably won't have enough time to escape in this short time... I saw you. You are here, aren't you?"

As he said this, the Centipede Star Lord suddenly stretched out his long staff and stabbed into the void not far away.

The originally dark place suddenly revealed a sword shadow after this stab. It turned out that in addition to the killing effect, the biggest use of the poisonous fog of the Centipede Star Lord was perception.

"This light-blocking technique... did you use the teachings of Yaoguang Xingjun?"

The Centipede Star Lord sneered.

"But, so what? Even if the Lord of Shining Light came in person, I would still..."

Zheng——

Before the Centipede Star Lord could finish his words, the dazzling sword light suddenly stabbed over from the side!

But this fatal blow was still blocked by Baizu Xingjun. After all, he was a real veteran and powerful man with great strength. Strength was everything to him. No one could escape his sight with just this technique, and this crude sword move was unlikely to do any harm to him.

"It's just this... huh?"

The Centipede Star Lord, who was about to fight back, suddenly frowned.

He thought of the poisonous insects that he had not yet finished breeding.

Not only the poisonous insects that had not yet been cultivated, he even thought about his own experience. As a powerful old master, he should have practiced his own tradition further, but what was he doing now? Helping two weaklings to deliver a letter?

Yes, now a weak person has died, but he still has to clean up the mess he left behind. This doesn’t make sense, it really doesn’t make sense. He is a strong person, why should he do things for the weak?
Could it be that he was easily deceived and participated in the campaign to conquer the demons?

Is it because he joined this thing, the Ten Thousand Star Alliance?
"Regret! Regret! Regret!"

For a moment, the Centipede Star Lord regretted his decision!
If he had not joined the Ten Thousand Stars Alliance, he would not have ended up in this situation. If he had not participated in the crusade against the extraterritorial demon, these subsequent events would not have happened. If he had not been obsessed with power before ascending to heaven and had not cared about the small country he once belonged to, that small country would not have quickly perished after he ascended to heaven.

regret! regret! regret!
The Centipede Star Lord had never regretted so much.

But things have passed after all, and no matter how much he regrets now, it is too late. No matter how much he regrets, the past can never happen again, and he can't make the same choice again - just like now, no matter how much he regrets his distraction, there will be no chance for another time.

The sword blade, as sharp as bone, had already pierced his throat. At this moment, he couldn't even speak. How could he have another chance?
"Regret! Regret!"

With a sharp sword stuck in his throat, the Centipede Star Lord even felt the urge to die.

Yes, that's right. Regret is like a maggot on the heel. It is impossible to stop it no matter what. The only thing that can stop regret is probably death itself.

As long as you die, you won't regret it, right?

"what……"

With his last breath, the Centipede Star God died on the spot.
