"What?! He actually destroyed the Netherworld Star!"
Before the spaceships had even gone far, the massive Netherworld Star exploded.
Some of the Skeleton Race's Immortal God are starting to lose their composure.
This Netherworld Star was a legitimate territory that the Skeleton Race had purchased at a tremendous cost, almost emptying their entire clan's savings.
Unexpectedly, less than ten thousand epochs have passed since we moved here from the Cosmic Secret Realm, and such a thing has happened.
But no one dared to object.
No one dared to resist.
Judging from the attitude of their tribal leader, that person must be someone that their Skeleton Race cannot afford to provoke.
Putting everything else aside, the ability to destroy the Netherworld Star with a single strike is a power that even Immortal God like them cannot match.
"Good riddance! Good riddance!"
The leader, who stood a hundred meters tall and resembled a skeletal remains of a strange beast, laughed loudly several times.
Several Immortal God stood to the side, exchanging bewildered glances.
"Has the leader gone mad from the shock?"
An Immortal God of the Skeleton Race asked, "Chief, why do you say destruction is good?"
"Haha, what do you know? That person just now was someone our Skeleton Race absolutely could not afford to offend. With a single word from him, not only would there be no place for us to live on Netherworld Star, but the entire Sea of Netherworld territory would be left without a place to live. But he destroyed Netherworld Star, which means he didn't intend to occupy this place. He might leave soon..."
"Chief, does this mean that our Skeleton Tribe still has a chance to return?"
"An Immortal God of the Skeleton Race said with delight."
"If there's a chance... we don't need to move too far. Let's temporarily settle on the outskirts of the Sea of Netherworld and observe the situation. If this person leaves, we can move back, and then we can recreate a Netherworld Star within the Divine Kingdom —no... we'll call it Skeleton Star —as the main base for our Skeleton Race."
Upon hearing their leader's words, the dejected expressions on the faces of the group of Immortal God vanished.
Instead, they were all filled with enthusiasm.
"The chief is right. That Netherworld Star is too unlucky. I heard that the powerful race that created Netherworld Star has also been wiped out. It's better to destroy it. After that powerful being leaves, our Skeleton Race will create our own base."
"That's right, only what you create truly belongs to you."
"But this really startled me. Fortunately, that powerful figure wasn't bloodthirsty and gave us time to retreat."
"Luckily, he wasn't an evil powerhouse, or we would have been in serious trouble."
The Skeleton Race's spaceship quickly disappeared into the distance.
The powerful members of the tribe all planned to return after that powerful figure left and rebuild their homeland.
However, what they didn't know was that as soon as they left, Lu Qingshan also left the Sea of Netherworld.
After leaving a divine coordinate in the Prison Race Territory, Lu Qingshan teleported directly back to his own Divine Kingdom.
After breaking through to the realm of the Universe Venerable, the Ghost King Avatar's Divine Kingdom became even more stable. However, the Tree of Life is not yet able to play its role; otherwise, the Divine Kingdom would be even more perfect.
After glancing at the Tree of Life, which was still slowly growing outside the temple, Lu Qingshan entered the temple and took out the crimson pearl.
I got two balls from this trip, one black and one red.
The black part is the singularity of Black Hole, and the red part is this thing.
"What exactly is this thing? Even when it's in my storage space, I can still feel a strong bloodline pull!"
Lu Qingshan was somewhat curious.
What was the purpose of the treasures left behind after the annihilation of the One-Horned Ghost King clan?
Try acknowledging God.
Lu Qingshan imprinted the divine power mark onto the blood-red orb. The process went very smoothly, and soon a piece of information appeared out of thin air.
" Heart of Netherworld ".
It turns out that this treasure is called the Heart of Netherworld.
Moreover, this treasure was actually born at the same time as the first One -One-Horned Ghost King.
The Heart of Netherworld is the treasure of the Universe Overlord of the One-Horned Ghost King clan, and it is also the core of the entire One-Horned Ghost King. Apart from that overlord, no one else knows about this item.
This treasure has two uses.
Firstly.
Those who possess the One-Horned Ghost King Bloodline can integrate this treasure into their bodies, evolve their bloodline, and generate incredible power.
Just like the Moshan Clan who merged with the Heart of Space, they can give birth to special abilities like the Domain.
Integrating the Heart of Netherworld into the body also has extraordinary effects, producing incredible changes.
As for what exactly the change was, Lu Qingshan himself didn't know, because there was only one Heart of Netherworld. Even the Universe Overlord of the One-Horned Ghost King clan, which was born with the Heart of Netherworld, never used it.
As for why it doesn't use such amazing abilities, that relates to the second function of this treasure.
The Heart of Netherworld possesses incredible power, capable of transferring the bloodline power of the One-Horned Ghost King to other races.
Furthermore, this bloodline can be perpetuated through bloodline reproduction.
This explains why Ling Yu and Ling Xi have a trace of the One-Horned Ghost King Bloodline within them. Their ancestor must have obtained such an opportunity, and their talent allowed them to unearth this trace of bloodline.
The boy named Jialun I saw in the Prison Race Territory before should be in the same situation.
As long as their bloodline endures, the One-Horned Ghost King clan will never perish.
The second ability of the Heart of Netherworld is not simply the transmission of bloodline; it also contains unique energy. Accumulating energy over Endless eras, it provides an opportunity to fully activate the bloodline of a genius who possesses a trace of the One-Horned Ghost King Bloodline, making them a true One-Horned Ghost King and allowing the One-Horned Ghost King to reappear in the world!
In other words, as long as the Heart of Netherworld exists, the One-Horned Ghost King clan still has hope of revival.
This is why that Universe Overlord was unwilling to use up the Heart of Netherworld.
That Universe Overlord, for the sake of his race, kept this treasure safe. Even after his race was wiped out, the treasure remained perfectly preserved.
We look forward to the day when the One-Horned Ghost King will reappear.
That's indeed the case...
In fact, Lu Qingshan was not the only one who sensed the summons. Because of his greater strength and purer bloodline, he felt the summons more intensely and could sense them from a much more distant place.
Perhaps one day, a genius with the One-Horned Ghost King Bloodline will arrive on the Netherworld Star and feel the same call... Then this Special Lifeform form, which has been annihilated in the history of the Primal Universe, will have hope of rising again.
After all, that overlord must have spread the One-Horned Ghost King Bloodline to all parts of the universe, and there must be quite a few geniuses who possess a trace of that bloodline.
If that inheritor had this intention, with countless years of accumulation, he could activate his bloodline time and time again. Even if he couldn't reach the level of prosperity of the original One-Horned Ghost King clan, he could at least be considered a clan.
"This thing..."
After understanding the function of the Heart of Netherworld, Lu Qingshan pondered for a moment.
Obviously.
This Heart of Netherworld offers a chance to activate bloodlines, transforming a genius into a true One-Horned Ghost King.
Only after using this opportunity will one be able to accumulate experience again, and it's unknown how long it will take to get the next opportunity. Obviously, this period of time will be incredibly long.
"This opportunity can be used to resurrect the One-Horned Ghost King clan. There's no need to wait any longer. By then, with my strength, I could probably revive the entire One-Horned Ghost King clan. There's absolutely no need for that."
Having obtained the Heart of Netherworld, Lu Qingshan has also gained benefits from the One-Horned Ghost King clan. In the future, when he becomes True God, he may be able to resurrect that overlord.
As for this opportunity...
Lu Qingshan thought of Ling Yu, Ling Xi...
He then shook his head.
This wasn't like before when activating one's bloodline could enhance one's talent but didn't bring about significant changes; this time, it was a true transformation into One-Horned Ghost King. Lu Qingshan couldn't bear to see his two naturally beautiful disciples Clone such ugly clones.
The One-Horned Ghost King is just an ordinary Special Lifeform, only 50 times the Gene Level. Its divine body is not large, and its secret techniques are not particularly heaven-defying. Ling Yu is the disciple of the Chaos City Lord and has his own help. Its future achievements may not be worse than those of a One-Horned Ghost King.
As for Ling Xi, she is not the kind of person who would sacrifice her beauty for power, and besides, she has her own path, which Lu Qingshan does not want to interfere with.
Now, only that boy named Jialun remains.
Lu Qingshan recalled the boy's appearance: over a hundred years old, Stellar Level Seventh Stage. Although he was only Third-Class Genius, once his bloodline was activated, he would definitely become Second-Class Genius... He could observe him and see if he could be taken as a disciple. If the boy passed his test, he would grant him this precious opportunity.
As for the Heart of Netherworld, there's absolutely no need for me to use it myself. I can try to bestow it upon Ling Yu, just like with the Unicorn back then. It should suit my needs and shouldn't be subject to any restrictions on the bestowal conditions.
If this Heart of Netherworld were bestowed upon someone, and they received a thousandfold return... then...
Lu Qingshan felt a faint sense of anticipation.
Judging from its function, the Heart of Netherworld is comparable to Supreme Treasure and can be considered the original treasure of the One-Horned Ghost King clan. After being restored through the Golden Finger, it will surely yield even more precious treasures.
The Sea of Netherworld, the Dark Light Star.
Outside an ordinary house, a young man with short white hair, whose appearance was considered quite handsome in the Prison Race Territory, looked at the two powerful members of the Red-Tailed Race outside the door, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.
" Jialun, have you thought this through? Don't push your luck. It's an honor for you that our young lady has taken a liking to you. Countless people would love to have this opportunity but can't. There are only three days left until the deadline, so you mustn't disappoint our young lady."
"No need for you to trouble yourself."
Jialun snorted coldly.
"Three days from now, dress up nicely and make our young lady happy. You'll reap unimaginable benefits. But if you displease her, your sickly mother and your sister... hehehe..."
"Bang!"
Jialun turned and went inside, closing the door behind him.
Outside the door, the Red-Tailed Race guards wore angry expressions.
"Pah! You pretty boy, daring to give us attitude!"
"Just wait. If this guy still doesn't comply in three days, we'll give him a good beating. Even if he submits, once our young lady gets tired of him, this bastard will still fall into our hands."
"His sister is quite good-looking; they really are a family."
"His mother may be sickly now, but she used to be a great beauty."
"Tsk tsk tsk."
Behind the gate, Jialun listened to their conversation, his eyes blazing with fury, wishing he could rush out and kill them both.
But he knew he couldn't do that...
Perhaps those two are no match for him, but his sister and mother will definitely be implicated.
" Jialun, go. Leave the Light Dark Star and go to a place with light." The woman lying on the bed coughed a few times.
"Mother, it's alright, don't worry. I will definitely protect you and my little sister."
Jialun had already made up his mind that he might have no choice but to compromise and please the Red-Tailed Race lady, a woman with a large figure, covered in crimson scales, and a long scorpion tail.
Late at night, Jialun sat by the window meditating.
Strength! Strength is the most important thing! If he were at the Universe Level, he could seize a spaceship and take his mother and sister away from the Light Dark Star.
But he was merely Star Level being. While Star Level was considered quite good on Light Dark Star, it was no different from an ant in front of the Red-Tailed Race. This was because this planet was one of the Red-Tailed Race's territories, and the strongest member of the Red-Tailed Race here was a Domain Lord Level being.
What is that?
While Jialun was cultivating, he suddenly felt his blood boiling, and his body seemed to crave something intensely.
"In that direction!"
Jialun hesitated for a moment, but thinking of what had happened during the day, he gritted his teeth, crawled out of the window, evaded the guards watching outside, and quietly disappeared into the darkness.
