Swallowing the Stars Starts with the Brewing Master

Chapter 223 The Most Dangerous Place on the Fifth Battlefield
In the Nine Hua Star Region, there is a quiet part of the starry sky.

A battle with unequal strength is unfolding in this space.

"Kill!"

The Flamebringer warrior, Redstone, roared loudly to release his tension.

The crimson [World Projection] pressed down, tightly binding the dozens of mechanical puppets that were attacking him.

With a giant hammer in one hand and a tower shield in the other, standing six meters tall with a blood-red, stone-like body, he resembled a general charging into battle amidst the horde of mechanical golems.

Inside the spaceship not far away, Chu He stopped paying attention to Redstone's performance and turned his gaze to the main battlefield in the distance.

The assassin, Green Blade, is elusive and can easily evade the lightning attacks of the mechanical puppets.

The nearly one thousand mechanical puppets on this battlefield are all 12 meters tall. This size means that not many can attack Green Blade at the same time.

Under such circumstances, Green Blade was able to display his superb agility, easily dodging the attack and then stabbing a mechanical puppet in the back of the neck with his green blade.

"boom!"

"laugh!"

The mechanical puppet's alloy nape was slightly dented from the impact, and sparks of lightning exploded throughout its body from top to bottom.

At the same time, his entire body was slammed into the ground by that blade and thrown into the surrounding puppet army and other mechanical puppets.

Under the control of the mechanical race's realm lord, who was hiding somewhere, the mechanical puppets behind them moved with great agility, easily avoiding the puppet that had been destroyed by the green blade.

"Green Blade, use heavy attack! These mechanical golems are all made of E9 grade alloy. It's too much effort and not worth it to completely destroy their bodies!"

The mentalist [Light Wings] spread out his five-meter-long, pure white wings, and a rich aura of light laws emanated from them.

While dodging, he manipulated an inconspicuous spool of golden threads to connect the various parts, all the while keeping a close eye on the situation on the battlefield.

The command he just gave to [Green Blade] was an attempt at this.

With their all-powerful captain behind them, [Lightwing] is no longer as afraid to take command as they were during their first encounter.

Upon seeing this, Chu He nodded slightly.

He chose to form this team entirely because of the extremely high degree of freedom in this model!
Whether it's an elite squad or a legion battle, you have to act according to the whims of others, which is extremely unfriendly to Chu He.

The only advantage he has is the ability to form a squad, which gives him a high degree of freedom before he reaches the 1000 billion military merits threshold.

It's not like I'm really going to stay and lead the team to grow or anything.

One day, after achieving his military merits, he will inevitably have to leave.

Of course, he could also choose to lead a squad to hunt down a Marquis.

Killing a low-level Marquis grants 1000 billion military merits, killing a high-level Marquis grants 100 billion military merits, and killing a peak Marquis grants 1 trillion military merits.

The military system's 1000 billion military merit points can be directly achieved as long as Chu He kills a high-ranking Marquis.

However, since they are all human, it is somewhat inappropriate for Chu He to disregard the lives of these eight Realm Lords and generals in order to hunt down Marquis-level high-ranking individuals.

Therefore, Chuhe had no choice but to first get to know the eight people better and to review each battle afterward.

Once the eight people are able to contend with the Immortals with his help, Chu He will lead the team to hunt down high-ranking Marquises as soon as possible to complete the military merit quota.

After spending three years in the Jiuhua Star Region and experiencing nine battles, Chu He finally trained the team's deputy commander, [Light Wing].

In this way, the team can continue to exist after he leaves. It will simply be downgraded from an elite realm lord team to an ordinary realm lord team.

"The fastest on the battlefield, and a mentalist, this is the natural command position!" Chu He's smile grew even more gratified.

The day when he hunts down high-ranking marquises and completes his military merit quota is not far off!
"And [White Wolf], [Wind Blade], the same goes for you. Stop using claws and throwing knives, go straight for heavy attacks!" Lightwing continued to command with his mental power.

“The manufacturers of mass-produced mechanical puppets like these certainly wouldn’t spend too much on them. So, as long as some of the precision parts inside them can be damaged, even if the E9 alloy on their exterior is still intact, they will still be scrapped.”

"Understood," the white wolf replied telepathically.

Windblade didn't say much, but silently controlled the flying blades to assemble into a blade wheel.

"Clang clang clang!"

The blade wheel slammed wildly against the mechanical puppet.

Each blade wheel consists of six throwing knives. Each blade carries a mysterious vibration.

When the entire blade wheel struck the mechanical puppet, countless vibrations were instantly transmitted into the puppet's interior.

Although it appears that only a small knife mark was left on the surface of the mechanical puppet, in reality, the inside of the mechanical puppet was instantly shattered!

After being slashed a few times by the blade wheel, they all stood there dumbfounded, motionless.

In another direction, a golden light rampaged through the horde of mechanical puppets.

The golden-haired ape-man used the spiraling golden crystal gun in his hand as a club.

As the golden light flashed, wherever it touched, a flurry of stick shadows rose up.

With a crackling sound, sparks flew from the mechanical puppets that were hit.

"Snow Demon, have you found the hidden Mechanical Race Realm Lord yet?"

The burly man, panting heavily through his horned nostrils, unleashed a burst of white smoke as lightning flashed across his gauntlets. With a deafening roar, he smashed a mechanical puppet to pieces with a single punch.

"What's the rush!" The snow demon in the distance waved her hand and released a ball of liquid, easily freezing a mechanical puppet.

"I haven't found my little white dog yet... It's over there!"

The snow demon suddenly let out a high-pitched scream, and a white light suddenly shone brightly from a great distance away from the battlefield.

Chu He glanced at the detection instrument and confirmed it was correct!

The place where the white light shone was the hiding place of the Mechanical Race's Realm Lord.

Even though he knew it would be like this, Chu He was still amazed by the white fox's cleverness after seeing it three times in a row.

In this primordial universe, ferocious beasts... are beings that possess great strength but have extremely low intelligence.

Only beast tamers can tame powerful ferocious beasts and use them in battle.

Therefore, in the eyes of the other members of the team, the Snow Demon was naturally a mentalist who also practiced beast taming.

"Then what are we waiting for!" Bull Horn roared, its eyes turning blood red in an instant, and lightning began to flicker faintly on its horns.

"kill!"

boom!
His fists swung even faster!
The lightning on the deep purple gauntlets, stained with red bloodstains, grew ever stronger.

The blond guy not far from him, as if competing with him in a kill speed contest, immediately unleashed his own attack.

A hazy, enormous phantom rose from the spiraling golden crystal spear, and with a single vertical slash, it destroyed dozens of mechanical puppets.

With the power of the world amplifying it, the golden pillar phantom was incredibly heavy.

After the golden pillar's phantom straightened out, it rolled and swept across, causing a circle of mechanical puppets to fall down.

It swept through the surrounding area time and time again, killing enemies with astonishing efficiency.

"Tsk! Bull Horn, and that golden retriever over there, you guys are wasting your talents!" Lightwing's command came through the air.

"After you destroyed those mechanical puppets, couldn't you have just put them all away together?"

"A single mechanical puppet is worthless, but now there are a thousand of them, which are worth as much as a spaceship!"

"The most valuable part of this mechanical puppet is the E9 grade alloy that makes up its exterior. You've broken it into so many pieces... save some for the captain!"

"Hahahaha!" Bingjing Chuhe burst into laughter upon hearing this. "A few puppets are nothing to me. You can keep them all!"

"Thank you Captain!"

"Captain is so magnanimous!"

"I'll take it, I'll take it! I'll take it all!" The golden-haired man stood in the void, and wherever the golden pillar phantom passed, not a single mechanical fragment that would have remained was left.

After being struck by the phantom of the golden pillar, the mechanical puppets immediately lost their ability to resist and were quickly taken into the world ring by the golden-haired man.

Its sweeping efficiency is even more astonishing than that of a mentalist.

A moment later, the three fastest mentalists, Lightwing, Windblade, and Snow Fairy, along with the assassin Green Blade, blocked the mechanical race world lord.

With four against one, it was an easy victory.

……

Inside the lounge of the spaceship.

The eight realm lords smiled and found their seats. The Machine Race was, after all, the wealthiest of the four races!
The captain of this battle group has not participated yet; all the spoils of war and military merits belong to them!

"Alright, everyone, quiet down." Chu He coughed softly, and the entire lounge immediately fell silent.

With nine battles in three years, and today's tenth, Chu He has long since established his prestige among the crowd.

And the way to establish authority...

"As usual, I will review this battle and compare it with previous battles. I will also point out any areas where you can improve."

"Wuhu! Cheer for the captain!"

"Haha, thank you, Captain!"

"This is our all-around captain!"

……

Exclamations of surprise and delight rang out one after another.

Chu He pressed down with both hands.

Based on his knowledge, these eight realm lords before him...

Whether it's secret techniques, mental power, the level of understanding of laws, or common sense questions between other races, Chu He can provide answers to any questions.

Chu He provided guidance in all nine battles, which naturally enabled him to quickly gain prestige.

"First, let's get to know the mechanical golems and the Zerg warriors."

Chuhe tapped his wristwatch, and two afterimages were projected into the air.

One is the mechanical golem we encountered this time, and the other is the Zerg warrior we encountered before.

"Clearly, even in appearance, the mechanical golems are far inferior to the Zerg warriors."

The illusory image slowly rotated, and the eight realm lords listened attentively.

"After all, a mechanical puppet is just a machine. A heavy attack can damage its internal structure and render it unable to function."

"And Zerg warriors are essentially living beings. Furthermore, in terms of cost alone, Zerg warriors are much more expensive than mechanical golems."

An E9-class mechanical puppet is nothing more than a large robot made of E9-class alloy.

Typically, the cost of a thousand E9-class mechanical golems is barely comparable to that of an E9-class spaceship with a diameter of 100 meters.

However, the cost of a single Zerg warrior at the peak of the Realm Lord level might be higher than that of an E9-class spaceship!

The difference in quality can be seen simply from the cost!

After explaining some information about the mechanical golems and Zerg warriors that required limited access, Chu He picked up a bottle of wine, took a small sip, and then said:

"Okay, next, I will point out your individual problems and give you directions for improvement."

"However, after this, we should head to some dangerous areas to seek greater gains!"

"I'll listen to the captain."

"That's right, would our captain possibly harm us!"

"Haha, Captain, wherever you say we'll go, we'll go!"

……

"Okay." Chu He nodded with a smile. "Let's begin then."

"First, there's the wind blade. Your blade wheel still has room for improvement; the vibration in six directions..."

……

A portion of his consciousness was guiding the eight realm lords and generals. At the same time, Chu He separated a wisp of his consciousness, logged into the virtual universe, and teleported directly to the front of the teacher's temple on Thunder Island.

Regarding the Fifth Battlefield, he is now quite certain that his teacher had a specific purpose in arranging for him to come here!

In the main hall.

"Teacher," Chu He bowed respectfully, "this disciple has already established a firm foothold on the fifth battlefield."

"According to my estimation, I will soon be able to complete my military merit quota and regain my freedom. Does Master have any other instructions?"

"Oh?" A hint of a smile flashed across the Ice Peak Lord's eyes. "How did you know I had other tasks here?"

"Master, I am weak and have little information, but I am not stupid." Chu He smiled and looked at the Ice Peak Lord on the throne.

"According to the information I found, all eleven extraterrestrial battlefields were opened up by the strongest members of the four top races: the human race, the demon race, the insect race, and the mechanical race."

"These eleven extraterrestrial battlefields were originally eleven cosmic secret realms. The native inhabitants within them dared not resist the four peak races, so they either scattered and fled or were wiped out."

As Chu He spoke, he recalled the Yanji Continent from the original novel, as well as the native inhabitants of the Yanji Continent and the treasure of the Sacrifice Tower.

Every place has its own story.

The sacrificial towers were survival bases built by the original inhabitants of the Yanji Continent when they fled, and they contained a large number of treasures.

Although each altar only hides a small portion of the treasures, they are the treasures of the entire tribe!

Even if it's just a sacrificial tower, it's still an incredibly extravagant fortune for a king.

"I discovered that the company responsible for opening the fifth battlefield on the human side was my Virtual Universe Company, which is why I had this suspicion."

"Hahahaha!" The Lord of Ice Peaks laughed heartily.

Unexpectedly!

This disciple has given me another huge surprise!

"You guessed it right!"

"I have indeed assigned you to the Fifth Battlefield for other purposes."

"The Fifth Battlefield, formerly known as the Zhu Hua Secret Realm, is home to two major native races: the Zhu Yue Clan and the Jiu Hua Clan."

"The Jiuhua Clan?" Chu He was stunned for a moment.

He was clearly thinking of the Jiuhua Star Region where he was currently located.

"Not bad!" The Lord of Ice Peaks nodded.

"When the fifth battlefield was opened, the Jiuhua Star Region was completely wiped out. At the last moment, the Zhuyue Clan and the Jiuhua Clan joined forces and set up a large number of treasures in the Zhuyue Star Region."

"Some of them were directly seized by the four top clans back then, while others were hidden in the Zhuyue Starfield."

"The Zhuyue Star Region!" Chu He exclaimed in surprise.

Unlike the Nine Hua Star Region, where Realm Lords and Domain Lords are active everywhere, the Zhu Yue Star Region is a gathering place for even King-level Immortals!
So, all those immortal kings were after the treasures of the Zhuyue Star Region!
The Nine Hua Star Region was clearly wiped out long ago, which is why there were hardly any powerful figures left there.

The Lord of Ice Peaks continued, "The technology of these two races is average. Although they have built many survival bases called [Moonlight Pools], they can barely hide under the divine power detection of the Universe Venerables. Of course, the detectors also cannot detect them."

"In that case, then teacher..."

Just as Chu He was about to ask why they didn't send someone of a higher level than a Universe Venerable to search for the treasure, he suddenly realized:

In the eyes of those cosmic overlords and cosmic masters, this amount of wealth is probably not as valuable as a single enlightenment they gain.

Just like Chu He, even if he now learns of a treasure that is extremely important to the universe, he still wouldn't try to seize it.

"My task for you is to find at least one Moon Essence Pool and retrieve the treasure within."

“Moonlight Pool…” Chu He pursed his lips.

Judging solely from the teacher's task requirements, it is indeed not difficult.

However, let's set aside the danger of a large number of King-level Immortals clustering together in the Zhuyue Star Region...

How could he possibly find the Moonlit Pool, a strange building that even a cosmic venerable cannot explore, so easily?

"Don't worry! As long as you go looking, you will definitely find it." The Lord of Ice Peak waved his hand, signaling Chu He to go ahead and do it.

"Yes, disciple understands, and will do his utmost to complete Master's task." Chu He bowed respectfully.

"Yes, go." The Lord of Ice Peak waved his hand, watching Chu He's disappearing figure with a deep gaze.

"Let me confirm once again just how deep your luck, which is favored by the primordial universe, truly is!"

"If only it were possible..."
