Chapter 540: The Strongest, Red Emperor (Seeking Monthly Votes)

The Shanhe King let the intelligent life project a large green screen.

It projected a huge, black building complex full of traces of time.

From it, one could see various alloys and traces of high technology, but now it had decayed.

The Shanhe King spoke slowly:

"In the process of great reclamation, we discovered that there are not only Calamity Beasts in the other world, but also the Zerg, and humans."

Lin Qi was shocked after hearing this and asked: "There are also humans in the other world?"

The Shanhe King nodded: "That's right. You have observed the Ten Thousand Beast Wanshou Xuezhu and cultivated high-level Source Energy cultivation techniques."

"You should know that in the entire universe, besides our Blue Star, there are other human civilizations."

"Their martial arts strength is even more powerful; they can roam the universe's starry sky, cross the sea of stars with tyrannical physical bodies, and shatter stars with their hands."

"And there were traces of humans living in the other world, but they all died in the long years."

"Only Calamity Beasts survived!"

"And the building complexes they lived in are also called Ruins!"

Lin Qi looked quietly at the projected Ruins guards, and a large number of thoughts emerged in his mind.

Combining the situation of their Blue Star and the Xia Guo, he had many guesses.

The Shanhe King continued to point to the Ruins in the screen and introduced:

"We have excavated a large number of technological treasures and technologies from the Ruins!"

"For example, intelligent life technology, the virtual reality technology of the Red Realm, gravity rooms, trial towers..."

"There are also many potion technologies, records related to the cultivation system, and even information about Calamity Beasts, etc., all excavated from the Ruins."

"Some technologies were exchanged with the Zerg, but more were excavated from the Ruins."

Lin Qi nodded; many doubts in his heart instantly had answers.

So that was it; their Blue Star's martial arts system went from nothing to something in less than 50 years, establishing a perfect martial arts system from the First Realm to the Ninth Realm.

Thinking about it, it wasn't scientific; now he finally had an answer.

He continued to look at the projected Ruins, and the Shanhe King's voice rang in his ears:

"Among the many Ruins, we classify them and name them with numbers."

"And Ruin No. 9 is the most special; it was once a base specifically for cultivating geniuses for the human race!"

"Inside, there are a large number of secret manuals, cultivation techniques, potions, and other treasures of heaven and earth!"

"But there are powerful intelligent lives and robots, and it cannot be obtained by hard grabbing!"

"Only by successfully passing the base's assessment can one obtain generous rewards!"

"My unique skill, 【Shanhe Heavy Heaven Spear】, was obtained after passing the test inside."

"And on our Blue Star, the breakthrough of all Ninth Realm powerhouses is inseparable from Ruin No. 9."

"Because one can obtain a potion from it, thereby breaking through to the Ninth Realm."

"90% of Ninth Realm martial artists passed the test to successfully break through!"

Lin Qi's eyes brightened after hearing this, and he instantly understood the Shanhe King's idea.

Teacher Mu Hong said:

"The difficulty of the test in Ruin No. 9 is extremely high; non-top-tier geniuses cannot pass it."

"And everyone only has three chances for the test in their life, corresponding to the three realms of Seventh Realm, Eighth Realm, and Ninth Realm."

"Lin Qi, you are now at the Seventh Realm, and you can also enter the Ruins to participate in the test!"

"If you can pass the Seventh Realm test, you might be able to obtain a better spear technique secret manual."

Lin Qi nodded: "I understand!"

"When are we going to the Ruins?"

The Shanhe King took a sip of hot tea and said:

"At least three days later; during this time, a batch of Seventh Realm and Eighth Realm martial artists will also go to Ruin No. 9 together."

"You will go to the Ruins together to take the test!"

Lin Qi nodded secretly.

A few minutes later, Lin Qi left, and only the Shanhe King and the black-clad Mu Hong remained in the office.

The Shanhe King said leisurely:

"It just so happens that during the time Lin Qi goes to the Ruins, we will completely clean up the Zerg!"

Mu Hong also drank a cup of hot tea and said:

"I hope Lin Qi can have some gains this time going to Ruin No. 9!"

"It's a pity my talent is too poor, and I had almost no gains."

The Shanhe King patted Mu Hong's shoulder with his broad palm:

"Rest assured, Lin Qi is the genius with the strongest talent in our Xia Guo in decades!"

"And this time, Sun Sheng and Li Tianxing will also go together!"

"There are also geniuses from countries like the White Eagle Federation, Mao Xiong Country, and India!"

"Perhaps it will be a very good genius exchange!"

Mu Hong nodded, picked up the teacup to pour himself tea, and he also began to look forward to it!

Room 206, Lin Qi returned to the room and went directly into the Martial Path Room.

He let Xia Chan project the panel and recorded the content the Shanhe King had told him.

At the same time, he reviewed it in his brain.

From the cultivation of Stage Five Spear Technique to the truth of the other world, and finally Ruin No. 9.

Although Lin Qi felt surprised, he accepted it very quickly.

The appearance of Calamity Beasts and Zerg in the other world proved that besides the Blue Star, there were many intelligent lives in the universe.

The Ten Thousand Beast Wanshou Xuezhu proved that there were human civilizations on other planets, and their martial arts strength was even more powerful.

Even Level 12 monster beasts could be observed to create cultivation techniques.

He didn't know what realm they were at.

"Hoo!"

Lin Qi exhaled; next, he needed to wait quietly for the notification.

But before that, he could perform the 8th blood exchange first!

So he popped up his phone and opened the War Home; he now had nearly 7 million Merit Points.

Enough to buy better cultivation resources.

He soon saw the Blood Spirit Potion and frowned.

"I have already taken enough Blood Spirit Potion; taking it again won't have a stronger effect. Is there a better potion?"

Lin Qi thought secretly; he had a premonition that even if he took four or five bottles of Blood Spirit Potion in a row, the effect wouldn't be much better.

The reason he increased by 450 in Qi-Blood Value was by relying on the power of his talent.

Taking Blood Spirit Potion, his body already had resistance, and the effect might not be as good as eating the potion.

So Lin Qi entered the forum, searched for posts on blood exchange, and understood the treasures of heaven and earth for blood exchange.

Soon he had gains.

"Seventh-stage blood exchange, besides Source Energy cultivation, taking high-level Calamity Beast flesh, there are also Blood Spirit Potion, Blood Spirit Ganoderma, Dragon Blood Grass, and other treasures of heaven and earth that can increase Qi-Blood Value."

"Of course, the blood of high-level Calamity Beasts also has good effects; the higher the level of the Calamity Beast, the stronger the effect."

Lin Qi's eyes brightened when he saw this.

High-level Calamity Beast blood!

He suddenly thought of the Level 10 Calamity Beast killed yesterday — the Lei Lei Yu Bao Shi!

So he immediately started checking from the first row of the exchange table and soon found his target.

【Item: Blood of the Lei Lei Yu Bao Shi】

【Introduction: The blood of the Level 10 Calamity Beast, the Lei Lei Yu Bao Shi, has the effect of making the physical body undergo transformation and enhancing Qi-Blood.】

【Merit Points: 300,000/ton】

Lin Qi exhaled; it was indeed the blood of the Lei Lei Yu Bao Shi.

Also a Level 10 Calamity Beast, one liter of blood was 200,000 Merit Points cheaper than the blood of the Calamity Tianzai Yanlong.

It showed that the strength gap between Level 10 Calamity Beasts was also very large.

It's a pity that the blood of the Calamity Tianzai Yanlong was already sold out.

However, the blood of the Lei Lei Yu Bao Shi was enough.

Lin Qi wasn't sure how long it would take him to complete the 8th blood exchange.

So he planned to buy more.

He placed an order for 10 tons directly, which was worth 3 million Merit Points.

He didn't need to worry about his Qi-Blood Value not increasing.

He didn't feel heartache for the Merit Points at all; the stronger his strength, the more Calamity Beasts he could hunt.

And Level 10 Calamity Beasts were rare; if he didn't buy them now, he might not be able to buy them in the future.

Although he knew that the Lei Lei Yu Bao Shi, which was over 500 meters long, had a body blood volume of definitely over 100,000 tons.

But there were too many martial artists in the Xia Guo, and it wasn't enough to share.

He ordered 10 tons, so what about the Eighth Realm and Ninth Realm martial artists?

They might only need hundreds or thousands of tons.

"Beep!"

【Merit Points have been paid; the Lei Lei Yu Bao Shi blood you ordered will be delivered tomorrow.】

In the backend, the exchange information popped up.

Lin Qi looked at the 3 million Merit Points and exhaled.

Too extravagant!

Converted into Xia Guo currency, it was also a staggering huge sum of money.

And the tax paid in it was not small.

Lin Qi let his mood calm down and opened his phone to check his balance.

【Balance: 560 million Xia Guo currency】

In his three months at the Black Dragon Base, the subsidy from the Sky Dome Academy was transferred to his account on time every month.

However, Lin Qi was spending Merit Points now; Xia Guo currency was not valuable at the Black Dragon Base.

And he calculated that if his subsidy was subsidized from the country's tax.

Then in these three months, the tax he paid alone exceeded 560 million.

This feeling was quite strange.

The tax he paid finally returned to his own hands.

However, he didn't care too much; he put down his phone, picked up the Seventh-Order great spear on the wall, and began to cultivate.

The Eighth-Order great spear was sent for repair, so he could only use the Seventh-Order long spear to cultivate for the time being.

"Xiu xiu!!"

"Chi chi!!"

Without the coverage of Gangjin, the invisible Domain power began to emerge, and Lin Qi felt it more truly.

The cells in his body vibrated and began to move violently.

Lin Qi's spiritual power penetrated into his body and began to control his body cells.

Soon he felt the difficulty.

The difficulty of this feeling was greater than any time before!

"No wonder Teacher Mu Hong said that progress is difficult; the improvement of Stage Five Spear Technique is indeed difficult."

Lin Qi thought secretly; Stage Five Spear Technique wanting to advance by leaps and bounds like Stage Four was not that easy.

"Hoo hoo!!"

The great spear danced, the spear tip shook; in one second, Lin Qi thrust hundreds of times, and the air seemed to be pierced with hundreds of holes.

It formed an invisible air wave spreading toward the surroundings.

Soon, Lin Qi was completely immersed in the cultivation of spear technique.

8:00 PM, top-tier apartment.

Inside the Martial Path Room, the Shanhe King, wearing white martial arts clothes, slowly stood up.

He came to the living room, and on the table was a silver-white helmet, light in texture, radiating cold light.

It looked like a high-tech product!

"I didn't expect it to be updated so quickly; it evolved from a virtual cabin to a virtual helmet!"

The Shanhe King sighed, put on the virtual helmet, and officially started it.

"Hum hum!"

The virtual helmet started, and invisible photon blood scanned his whole body.

When the Shanhe King opened his eyes, he was already in his personal center in the Red Realm.

He clicked on the personal center and found 【Star-Gazing Palace】 to enter.

"Boom!!"

This was a huge, spacious conference room, like countless circles, dividing over a hundred areas like a Bagua diagram.

Each area had the national flag of a country.

Divided from inside to outside according to the strength of the country!

The three countries sitting in the middle were: Xia Guo, White Eagle Federation, Mao Xiong Country!

The Shanhe King, in a silver robe, appeared out of thin air on the intelligent seat.

A melodious piece of music sounded in the air.

"Old Huo!"

He turned his head and saw several tyrannical figures.

On the right hand, the Sword Emperor in a blue robe smiled and greeted, and on the left hand was the Overlord with a domineering temperament.

Besides that, there was also a woman in a cyan robe, with a gentle temperament and containing powerful life aura.

She looked only in her early twenties, but her temperament was powerful, and her gaze was deep.

She was — Cyan Immortal!

One of the five powerhouses of the Xia Guo!

"Hanhai, long time no see; how have you been staying at the Lin-Sea Base?"

"When shall we have a meal together!"

"..."

The Shanhe King also turned his head to greet and chat with other Ninth Realm martial artists; in the last row, he saw the North River Sword King.

The other party had just broken through and was a newcomer to the Star-Gazing Palace, considered the weakest among all Ninth Realm martial artists.

The two nodded simply, which counted as a greeting!

At this time, almost all the Ninth Realm martial artists of the Xia Guo had arrived, over 20 people; plus the newly broken through and the sacrificed Ninth Realm martial artists, there were a full 26 people!

Looking around, there were Ninth Realm martial artists from other countries; in the entire conference room, there were over 100 Ninth Realm martial artists, and the number was still increasing.

"Boom!!"

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the middle of the first row, in the middle of the five seats.

All the Ninth Realm martial artists of the Xia Guo locked their gazes on the person in the middle.

The Shanhe King's gaze was also on him; as soon as the person appeared, an invisible aura was released.

Wearing a red robe, his figure was upright, and his muscle lines were distinct.

His facial features were three-dimensional, his contours were distinct, and he carried majesty and domineering spirit between his brows.

Between his gestures, he carried strong pressure, like an ancient god descending.

He was the Xia Guo, and even the strongest person on the Blue Star — Red Emperor!

As soon as he appeared, he became the focus of everyone, his temperament was fiery, and his demeanor was calm.

"Old Huo!"

"Red Emperor!"

The Red Emperor turned his head, a smile on the corner of his mouth, greeting everyone, calling them by their names or substitutes.

Everyone only dared to call him "Red Emperor".

No one dared to say his real name, even the Overlord, who was the second strongest, was the same.

"Time is up!"

"The Star-Gazing Palace meeting officially begins!"

At the same time, in the center of the conference room, a slender girl in red appeared, and she announced the start of the meeting slowly.

The music turned off, and the rather noisy conference room instantly became quiet!

The Red Emperor spoke slowly, his eyes like two burning suns:

"Today, we at the Star-Gazing Palace, all Ninth Realm martial artists of the Blue Star, gather together."

"Only for one thing: completely clean up the Zerg!"

"After investigation, we can confirm that the descent of the Level 10 Calamity Beasts was all guided by the Zerg behind the scenes."

At this time, not far away, in the White Eagle Federation, a tall black-clad man with golden hair and blue eyes, a high nose bridge, and a sturdy figure also spoke slowly:

"We should have cleaned up the Zerg long ago!"

"Too many Ninth Realm martial artists were ambushed and killed by them!"

"If this continues, we humans will only perish!"

In the Mao Xiong Country area, a burly man in a white robe spoke slowly:

"I agree!"

In the India area, a sturdy bald old man also spoke:

"Agree!"

The Shanhe King nodded secretly; since the God of War of the White Eagle Federation, the Ice and Snow Emperor of the Mao Xiong Country, and the Ganges Venerable of India all agreed.

The four strongest people in the world agreed, plus the Overlord, the five strongest all agreed.

Then this matter could be settled.

The strongest people from other countries also spoke one after another.

"Quiet!"

The Red Emperor's deep voice rang out, sounding like a bell, and everyone instantly became quiet.

"Since everyone agrees, then there is no time to lose; officially start the action from tomorrow!"

"All Ninth Realm martial artists, all participate in the action!"

"We must uproot the Zerg base in the shortest time; as for the Zerg Mother Emperor, I will kill her myself!"

As soon as the Red Emperor finished speaking, terrifying killing intent radiated from his body, and countless Ninth Realm martial artists felt a tremor in their hearts.

"The Red Emperor has become stronger again!"

The same thought emerged in the hearts of the strongest people from various countries.

The projected girl in red raised her hand and played a large amount of text data.

The Red Emperor spoke calmly:

"This is the action rule and order I formulated; who agrees, who opposes?"

"I agree with the Red Emperor's action!"

"I agree!"

The God of War of the White Eagle Federation spoke first, and Ninth Realm martial artists from other countries also spoke one after another.

A moment later, it was passed by voting.

156 votes in favor, 0 votes against.

The operation to clear the Zerg officially began!

The meeting ended, and everyone discussed other small issues.

One hour later, the Star-Gazing Palace meeting ended, and everyone began to go offline.

The Xia Guo was the same; the Shanhe King exited the meeting.

Then he entered the second conference room; this was a small conference room, and 26 Ninth Realm martial artists gathered at the oval conference table.

The Red Emperor sat in the middle position; in everyone's sight, the girl in red appeared, projecting a large amount of data.

He looked at everyone and spoke slowly:

"Next is our Xia Guo's internal meeting."

"This time cleaning up the Zerg, everyone executes according to the plan."

"Uproot the Zerg in the shortest time..."

After the Red Emperor finished speaking, everyone nodded seriously.

After the small meeting ended, others left, and only five people remained, who were also the five strongest people in the Xia Guo currently.

"Old Huo, you don't need to participate in this action!"

"You are responsible for leading the geniuses to Ruin No. 9 and protecting their safety!"

The Shanhe King nodded after hearing the Red Emperor's words:

"I understand!"

The Red Emperor nodded, showing a smile and praising:

"I have watched the video of Lin Qi being assassinated by the Zerg!"

"He is a genius rarely seen in our Xia Guo in a hundred years!"

"I didn't expect that, besides Sun Sheng and Li Tianxing, our Xia Guo has given birth to an even more excellent genius."

"His future is limitless!"

"Together with Sun Sheng and Li Tianxing, you must protect his safety!"

"After killing the Zerg Mother Emperor, find a time to meet him!"

The Sword Emperor, Overlord, Cyan Immortal, and Shanhe King were shocked after hearing this.

This was the first time they had heard the Red Emperor give such an evaluation to a genius.

Back then, Sun Sheng and Li Tianxing were brilliant, but the evaluation was not as good as Lin Qi's now.

A moment later, everyone left.

Only the Red Emperor remained in the entire conference room.

The girl in red suddenly seemed to come alive, smiled, and said:

"Master, your Blue Star is truly special!"

"Not only did it give birth to a top-tier genius like you, but now there are geniuses like Sun Sheng, Li Tianxing, and Lin Qi!"

"Any one of them is a top-tier genius that would only be born on several ordinary life planets."

"This is a bit contrary to common sense; you Blue Star humans are indeed unusual."

The Red Emperor's eyes became deep after hearing this, and the aura on his body became even more fiery:

"After decades of development, it's time for us to make contact with the universe!"

"The universe is too big, and the Blue Star is still too weak; we must develop carefully."

"There is not much time left for us!"
