Devouring the Starry Sky: You will become stronger through practice

At the mansion of Marquis Chu Ming, Marquis Chu Ming was drinking alone at this moment, looking at the vast stars in the sky, feeling emotional.

"There was Marquis Chu Xiong before me, and Marquis Chu Yu after me. Of all the first-class marquises, I was the first to become one. Why am I being surpassed by my juniors now? Even that half-blood bastard Chu Yuan can surpass me."

"hateful!"

As a first-class marquis, Marquis Chu Ming's strength is not weak. At the peak level of Chaos Overlord, he is not much inferior to Marquis Chu Yuan.

But there is no harm without comparison.

Marquis Chu Ming, who was the first among this batch of first-class marquises to reach the peak level of Chaos Lord, had long regarded the position of Emperor's son as a sure thing. But who would have thought that Marquis Chu Xiong, who had practiced for a shorter time than him, had directly reached the transcendent level of Chaos Lord, and Marquis Chu Yu, who had just become a first-class marquis, had directly found an Abyss guest who was at the transcendent level of Chaos Lord to help him, and this Abyss guest was even accepted as a direct disciple by the ancestor.

All these things happened one after another, making him unable to react.

Everyone was clearly starting from the same starting line, and he was even running with his gun focused. How come he ended up falling several positions behind while running?
"If I had enough resources, I could also become a Chaos Lord and transcend!"

Chu Minghou raised his head and drank a glass of wine.

Suddenly, an invisible wave enveloped the entire villa. In an instant, Chu Minghou felt the sky spinning and the space changing. When he cleared the smell of alcohol and could see his surroundings clearly, he found himself in an illusory world.

"who is it!"

Chu Minghou's eyes narrowed, his gaze was like lightning, and he swept around coldly.

At the same time, he drew the divine power to connect with the surrounding void. When he realized that he could still use the magic array in the imperial capital, he suddenly felt relieved.

As long as they are still in the imperial capital, no matter how strong they are, they dare not act recklessly. Even the Thunder Ancestor has to give some face. Otherwise, their Flame Wind Ancestor and the thirteen emperors will really go to the capital of the ancient Thunder Kingdom to kill.

"Don't worry, Lord Chu Ming."

A voice sounded, and at the same time, the clouds and mist in the surrounding void gathered together, and finally converged into an illusory figure, who was now looking at Chu Minghou with a smile.

"Oh it's you!"

Chu Minghou relaxed his vigilance slightly.

He knew the person who came and had dealt with him before. He knew that the other party belonged to the Two Realms Palace, which was a well-known organization on the Origin Continent. However, it did not belong to any ancient country and was considered an independent force. He did not know who its members were.

"Why would the famous Liangjie Palace come to me, and——"

Chu Minghou glanced around and said, "And you are still in this illusion. If I remember correctly, you have never dared to come to the capital of the ancient country. Why are you so bold this time? Aren't you worried that the ancestor will take advantage of the situation and catch you all in one fell swoop!?"

The two world palaces and the ancient country have never gotten along.

This is mainly because the members of the Two Realms Palace want inheritance and resources, while almost all the resources are in the hands of the ancient country. The conflict between the two is almost irreconcilable. They are also unwilling to work for the ancient country in exchange for inheritance and resources like Luo Shen and other guests, so conflicts often arise between them.

Especially the resources that the Flame Wind Ancestor brought back and distributed this time made them very greedy. If they could just take a small bite, it would be enough to fill their stomachs.

Of course, the Liangjie Palace is like the mice in the real world.

Although they coveted the resources of the ancient country of Yanfeng, with the Thirteen Emperors and the Ancestor of Yanfeng around, they only dared to sneak around and plunder some rare treasures from the world in places that the ancient country didn't notice. If a real fight broke out, the Ancestor of Yanfeng alone could easily destroy the entire Liangjie Palace!
This is also what Chu Minghou said about catching the other party in one fell swoop.

The figure smiled when he heard what Chu Minghou said: "I am just an ordinary member of the Two Realms Palace. Even if I die, it will not affect the Two Realms Palace. Besides, if I die, it will be difficult for Chu Minghou to get a good ranking in this heavenly mission, or even enter the top five. The possibility of the top three is difficult."

"Humph!"

Chu Minghou snorted.

He knew very well that what the other party said about wanting to help him was false, and the real reason was that they wanted to obtain the resource rewards corresponding to the ranking.

However, he had dealt with the other party before and knew that although he had a big appetite, he was indeed a capable and strong man. According to his understanding of the Two Realms Palace, any official member of the Two Realms Palace had a strength of at least above the second level of the Divine King!
Outside the imperial capital, there is a being who can crush him to death with just a flick of his finger!

Considering the other party's strength, what he said before that he could help him get a good ranking in this heaven-level mission was not an exaggeration.

"what do you want?"

After waiting for a while and seeing that the other party still didn't speak, Chu Minghou finally couldn't resist the temptation in the other party's words. Even if it required paying a certain price, if he could get a high enough ranking in this heavenly level mission and obtain enough training resources, his strength would most likely be further improved!
If he could step into the transcendent level of Chaos Overlord, he would have enough capital to fight against the Marquis of Chuxiong and the guest official from the Abyss!

By then, maybe I will be qualified to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between two tigers, and take the position of the emperor's son into my pocket!

"Chu Minghou."

The illusory figure was not in a hurry to state his conditions, but said calmly: "Among this group of first-class marquises, you are not ranked in terms of comprehension, potential, and strength. Whether it is the strength of Marquis Chu Xiong, the comprehension of Marquis Chu Yuan, or the potential of the newly promoted first-class marquis Chu Yu, you are not superior."

"Let's not talk about the fact that Marquis Chu Xiong is a Chaos Lord himself. Just take Marquis Chu Yu. He has a Chaos Lord as his guest official. His own strength has also improved by leaps and bounds. Several epochs ago, he even defeated an attacker who was also a Chaos Lord at the peak level in the Ice Prison he was responsible for guarding!"

Chu Minghou remained silent.

This group of first-class marquises have been practicing for an extremely long time. Except for the newly promoted Marquis Chu Yu, the gap between the other first-class marquises is actually quite clear.

Not to mention whether Chu Yuhou will appear.

Ever since the rise of Marquis Chuxiong, he had realized during the previous king-level mission that he could no longer rely on his age or the fact that he was the first to become a first-class marquis to gain an advantage as before.

The growth rate of that Chuxiong Hou is really too fast!

When they first fought during a mission, the opponent was still quite immature and was easily played around by him.

But in just less than tens of thousands of epochs, the opponent seemed to have completed the nirvana rebirth from pheasant to phoenix and soared directly into the sky. In the last king-level mission, the terrifying strength displayed by the opponent was something he could not resist at all!
Not long after that, Marquis Chuxiong entered the transcendent level of Chaos Lord, completely surpassing him and leaving all the first-class marquises behind.

to be frank.

Chu Minghou’s talent cannot be considered bad.

After all, being able to reach the peak of Chaos Overlord and become a first-class marquis has already proved his talent. However, there is a gap between geniuses, and sometimes the gap between people is even greater than the gap between people and dogs!

"Okay, stop talking!"

Chu Minghou interrupted the other party directly, and looked at the illusory figure with red eyes: "What do you want! Resources or inheritance!"

“I like talking to smart people.”

The illusory figure chuckled and said, "With your strength, it's impossible for you to break into the top three. But with our help, it will be easy for you to enter the top three! I want half of the reward resources!"

Hearing this, Chu Minghou laughed out of anger: "Why don't you just say you want them all!" "Chu Minghou, I hope you are clearer."

The illusory figure shook his head and looked at Chu Minghou and said, "I came to you only because we had a pleasant transaction before and I think this trading relationship can continue. If you don't want to, you can refuse. I will leave now and never bother you again!"

It's a seller's market now.

There are quite a few first-class marquises in the ancient country of Yanfeng. Even if there is no Marquis Chu Ming, there are Marquis Chu Ying, Marquis Chu Tian, ​​and Marquis Chu Chang. It doesn't matter which one you choose.

If he had not felt that this Chu Minghou still had some potential, and might have the opportunity to step into the transcendent level of Chaos Lord in the future, and even if he could not become the emperor's son, he might at least become an emperor ancestor of his royal family branch, he would have turned around and left long ago.

Chu Minghou looked at the other party with an unpleasant expression.

The other party is right.

Now is the eve of the start of the king-level mission, and many first-class marquises are looking for helpers. He is not like Marquis Chu Xiong, who has strong strength and many helpers. He is also not like Marquis Chu Yuan and Marquis Chu Yu, who have the transcendent support of the Lord of Chaos behind them.

He would definitely not be able to make it into the top three with his own strength.

If he missed the help of this person from the Two Realms Palace, and someone else got there first, wouldn't he have no hope of even making the top five? ?

But thinking about half of the resources, I felt unwilling.

So he gritted his teeth and said, "If you can help me win the first place this time, I will give you half of these resources. If you get second place, I can only give you 20%. If you get third place, I can only give you 10%. If you don't even make it into the top three, then there's no need to mention this matter anymore!"

The illusory figure thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I have to be careful when I take action under the gaze of your Flame Wind Ancestor and the thirteen emperors."

"If you get first place, I'll take half of it. If you get second place, I'll take 30%. If you get third place, I'll take 20%!"

Seeing that Chu Minghou was about to speak, the illusory figure stretched out a hand to stop him from speaking, saying: "Don't try to bargain with me. As I said before, if you don't want to, you can choose to refuse."

Chu Minghou stared at the other party for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "In that case, let's have a happy cooperation!"

The illusory figure smiled and said, "Congratulations, you made a smart decision!"

"But I have to remind you that since we have already made this agreement, this matter has become a cause and effect. Don't even think about shirking your responsibility. Otherwise, you will not be able to afford the price of the backlash."

After saying that, the illusory figure suddenly turned into a bubble, and with a pop, it dissipated into the void.

After the illusory figure disappeared, Chu Minghou felt the illusory space around him suddenly disappear without any movement. Everything before seemed like a dream bubble, and the outline of Beppu appeared again, and the wine glass on the table next to him was still full of wine.

"Two Realms Palace!"

Chu Minghou sat there in a daze, motionless, his mind still thinking about the previous transaction with the two members of the Realm Palace.

Not to mention the so-called backlash of cause and effect, just the fact that the other party was at least a super powerful being at the second level of the God King made him have no intention of breaking the contract. Even though he was a first-class marquis of the ancient country of Yanfeng, he was only a peak Chaos Lord and was not qualified to play rogue with a God King.

"However, if I can really rank first, even if I give up half of my resources, I will have enough resources left for cultivation, and maybe I can achieve transformation!"

A gleam of light flashed in Chu Minghou's eyes.

As the first among this batch of first-class marquises to reach the peak of Chaos Overlord, he is naturally ambitious. Although he is inferior to others in terms of talent and strength, as long as he is given enough resources, he can still reach the level of God King!
"If I could become a God-King——"

There seems to be only a fine line between a first-class marquis and a God King. Even a Chaos Lord can be compared to the first level of a God King. However, a God King is still a God King after all, and the resources he can obtain are far more than those of a first-class marquis.

The experience of Marquis Chu Ming is just a reflection of the many first-class marquises in the imperial capital.

But apart from the Liangjie Palace, there are other forces like the Liangjie Palace that intervened. Without exception, they all want to bite off a piece of fat meat in this king-level mission!
But apart from those first-class marquises who had little presence, there were also some first-class marquises who had the support of their teachers, the Divine King and the Lord of Chaos, senior brothers and sisters of transcendent levels, and they began to recruit people.

For example, Chu Yuanhou, who had been defeated in front of Luo Shen before, has a teacher named Emperor behind him. Even the famous Lord Yuanxiu is just his third senior brother.

"Buzz~" The communication token transmitted the message and a response came soon.

This is the second senior sister of Chu Yuanhou.

"Junior brother, I heard that you got beaten up some time ago, and Third Junior Brother didn't help you get back at him?" A fiery voice rang out. Even though they were at a long distance, Chu Yuanhou could imagine what the woman sounded like when she spoke, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

If the eldest senior sister had not been in seclusion for a long time and had not come out yet, he really would not be willing to ask the second senior sister for help.

But even the third senior brother, Palace Master Yuan Xiu, might not be able to do anything about the abyss, which means that the opponent's strength is far from as simple as it has been shown before.

If he wants to win the first place in this king-level mission, he can only ask the more powerful second senior sister for help.

As for the idea of ​​causing trouble.

After knowing that Abyss was accepted as a disciple by the First Ancestor, he completely gave up this idea.

"Senior sister, please stop teasing me."

Chu Yuanhou smiled bitterly and said, "I need your help this time. I want to win the first place in this king-level mission, but with Chu Xionghou and the abyss around, I may not even be able to take the third place. So I need you to help me complete the task of collecting the Phantom Feathers."

"no problem."

The second sister patted her chest loudly and said, "With me here, let alone Chu Xionghou and Shenyuan fighting on their own, even if the two of them join forces, I have nothing to fear!"

"But Junior Brother, don't you really need me to help you teach that Abyss a lesson? You're welcome, just ask if you need anything."

Marquis Chu Yuan hurriedly persuaded the other party to give up this idea.

What a joke!
It's fine that you are bellicosity, Second Senior Sister, but why do you want to drag me into this? The strength of the Abyss is something that even Third Senior Brother can't defeat. The most Second Senior Sister can do is beat him up severely, and she may not even be able to do that.

When we become enemies, this matter will come back to me, which is too unfair!

"Ok."

The second sister said reluctantly: "If that's the case, then I won't care about this matter anymore. Wait for you to solve it yourself."

"As for the collection of the Phantom Golden Feather, tell me after your King-level mission begins. I will go there directly then."

After that, the second sister hung up the communication token, leaving only Chu Yuanhou standing there. (End of this chapter)
