Man is devouring, waves are traveling through the universe

Chapter 112 Top-Tier Domain-Level Treasures

The Giant Rock Star spaceship flew cautiously through the void at sub-light speed, avoiding one seemingly dangerous place after another.

Inside the spacecraft's lounge.

"Everyone, please sit down."

"Let's raise a glass to celebrate this victory."

He Gu sat on the sofa with a smile, holding a glass of mellow, greenish-blue wine in his hand.

"Haha, cheers!"

"cheers!"

"This is not only a celebration of the victory, but also a celebration of having encountered a powerful teammate, Ye Wen!"

He Gu's enormous purple face was full of smiles.

"Ye Wen, you're amazing!"

"Thanks to you on the battlefield, otherwise I would have been seriously injured, if not killed!"

"Come on, Ye Wen, have a drink!"

The Thunderbolt Squad all looked at Ye Xingkong, and everyone was smiling happily.

Ye Xingkong smiled slightly, and at the same time felt that these people were different from the ordinary world lords in the universe.

If these members of the Thunderbolt Squad were in a star field like Black Dragon Mountain, they would all be powerful figures, yet they chose to come to the battlefield outside the region...

Because they all have a heart that yearns to become strong!
"The heart of a strongman..."

A thoughtful look flashed in Ye Xingkong's eyes.

Indeed, in the world of Swallowing the Stars, if we're only talking about enjoyment, a cosmic-level being could control several inhabited planets and become an emperor-like figure.

Not to mention Domain Lord level, World Lord level, or even Immortal level!

They possess incredibly long lifespans and power far exceeding that of ordinary people, yet they still abandon everything and wander between life and death.

This is the heart of a strong person!
"I'd like to propose a toast to everyone."

Ye Xingkong raised his wine glass and said with a smile.

He will likely remain in this squad until he accumulates a billion military merits and gains his freedom.

······
“Master, you earned a total of 4200 million military merits in that previous battle.”

Qing'er's voice echoed in Ye Xingkong's mind.

"Oh?"

Ye Xingkong's eyes lit up, and he quickly entered the virtual universe, where he indeed received an email from the military system.

"In the battle just now, I killed one Demon Moon Clan Realm Lord on my own and participated in the killing of four Demon Moon Clan Realm Lords."

"As for that Immortal of the Demon Moon Clan, it was killed by the Captain, Illusion Spirit, and me together."

Ye Xingkong frowned.

The rules of the extraterritorial battlefield are: killing an ordinary realm lord grants 100,000 military merits, killing an elite realm lord grants 1 million military merits, killing a realm lord general grants 10 million military merits, and killing an ordinary immortal grants 100 million military merits!
"It seems that the virtual universe system determined that I didn't contribute much in the final kill of the Demon Moon Clan's immortal, so it only awarded me 1500 million military merits."

Ye Xingkong looked thoughtful.

However, he wasn't in a hurry. With his strength, accumulating military merits wouldn't be slow.

Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

In the vast starry sky, an endless expanse of blue flames seemed to burn out of nowhere.

The blue flames were like an ocean, seemingly never to be extinguished, with no end in sight.

"Cold Flame Lake, we've arrived!"

Looking at the boundless ocean of flames before him, He Gu's expression turned serious.

"Among the many battle zones in the Ninth Battlefield, Cold Flame Lake ranks as medium in terms of danger."

The beast, holding its battle sword, chuckled and said...

"Within the Cold Flame Lake area, immortal powerhouses are very common, and occasionally there are even marquis-level immortals!"

"Once we enter Cold Flame Lake, the battles will become extremely fierce and frequent. The battles we encountered on the way were just minor skirmishes."

The mentalist "Purple Blood" also had a solemn expression, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

"Cold Flame Lake is a true battleground for the strongest!"

The woman in purple spoke with a cold and resolute expression.

"Alright, stop scaring the newbie!"

He Gu glared at him, then laughed and scolded, "If it were really that dangerous, our Thunderbolt Squad would have been wiped out in our previous adventures."

"Hehe, that's because we have advanced detectors!"

"Fight if you can beat them, and run if you can't!"

The illusionist "Sea" said with a strange laugh.

"Ye Wen, you're a newcomer, so you might not know much about Cold Flame Lake yet."

He Gu gazed at the boundless blue sea of ​​flames outside the spaceship and said in a deep voice, "Cold Flame Lake is about 1.6 light-years in diameter. As you can see, the entire Cold Flame Lake is burning with this blue flame. It is said that in an extremely distant era, the super strong of our human race fought here. This Cold Flame Lake was created by the aftershocks of that battle. The flames have been burning for hundreds of millions of years, yet they still show no signs of going out."

"What kind of being is this, whose casual move possesses such power?"

Ye Xingkong was taken aback.

"I don't know, but at least he must be at the level of a Universe Venerable, or even a hegemon among Universe Venerables!"

He Gu shook his head and said.

Whoosh!
The Giant Rock Star flew into this blue sea of ​​flames at near-light speed.

"100% simulation of the external environment."

He Gu said calmly.

The next moment, Ye Xingkong saw that the surrounding sofas and coffee tables had disappeared, and everyone seemed to be flying rapidly in a sea of ​​fire.

"The most common flames in Cold Flame Lake are blue, so don't be too afraid. They don't really harm a Realm Lord."

He Gu said with a smile.

Ye Xingkong nodded. After a brief sensing, he discovered that the cyan flame was at most a few million degrees Celsius.

Even the sun's temperature reaches tens of millions of degrees, and ordinary domain lord-level powerhouses can move freely on the sun, let alone these realm lords and immortals.

“Blue flames are not a threat, but Ye Wen, if you see flames of other colors, you must avoid them immediately.”

He Gu said with a solemn expression.

"This Cold Flame Lake actually contains danger?"

Ye Xingkong frowned.

It should be noted that the eleven extraterritorial battlefields, having been jointly chosen by the four top races as the locations for their inter-race wars, had already undergone a major purge by the powerful figures of each race.

In addition, the battles between powerful beings from various races over millions of years have reduced the threat of the secret realm itself to a minimum.

Logically speaking, the greatest danger in the extraterritorial battlefield mainly comes from the powerful beings of other races.

"Yes! In addition to the blue flames, Cold Flame Lake also has black, purple, and white flames."

“Each type of flame is terrifying enough to easily cause even immortal powerhouses to perish.”

“I once saw a wisp of purple flame appear out of thin air from afar, which annihilated a demon race immortal before he could even react.”

He Gu shook his head, his face showing lingering fear.

"Such danger!"

Ye Xingkong was puzzled and asked, "Then why are the powerful figures from various races still fighting in this Cold Flame Lake? Wouldn't it be better to go somewhere else?"

"First of all, Cold Flame Lake is generally quite safe. The probability of black, purple, and white flames appearing is very low. Even if unusual flames do appear, as long as one is not too unlucky, most strong individuals can react in time."

"Secondly... this is also related to a legend."

He Gu shook his head and said, "There was once a legend circulating on the Ninth Battlefield that the reason why Cold Flame Lake has been able to exist for hundreds of millions of years is because these flames all originated from a great treasure. However, for hundreds of millions of years, no one has ever found this treasure."

"Hehe, if there really were such a treasure, it would have been taken by the super strong people of each race long ago. How could it possibly be our turn?"

The beast crossed its arms, clearly not believing the legend.

"Heavy treasure?"

Ye Xingkong was somewhat surprised. Looking at the seemingly eternal ocean of blue flames around him, he couldn't help but fall into thought.

If it were a powerful artifact in a specific domain, it would indeed be possible to create such a stir.

No, within a range of 1.6 light-years, these are probably not ordinary domain-level treasures, but top-tier domain-level treasures!
However… if it were truly a priceless treasure, it would have already been taken by the powerful beings of various races. After all, this isn't the supreme treasure, the Star Tower. Even if a Universe Venerable couldn't take it, surely a Universe Lord could take it?

Just by casually taking a trip, one can obtain a powerful treasure of a domain; I believe the lords of various universes would be quite pleased.

"Forget it, whatever secrets Cold Flame Lake holds, it's none of my business right now."

"What I should do most right now is to accumulate military merits as soon as possible and gain my freedom!"

A glint of light flashed in Ye Xingkong's eyes.

He had not forgotten his original purpose in coming to the extraterritorial battlefield, which was mainly to create his own ultimate-level combat technique.

······
The years that followed.

The Thunder Squad begins their adventure in Cold Flame Lake.

Just as He Gu said before, Cold Flame Lake truly lives up to its reputation as a major battle area in the Ninth Battlefield, attracting a large number of powerful alien warriors.

Or perhaps, everyone came for that vague and ethereal legend.

The Giant Rock Star flew through the boundless blue ocean.

The Thunder Squad doesn't need to find a hidden location to use as a temporary base; the F-class spaceship's defensive capabilities are sufficient to serve as a temporary resting place.

"Damn it, they found us!"

"Forget it, there's no point in chasing. We can't catch up anyway!"

In the spaceship's main control room, He Gu looked regretful and gave an order to the spaceship's AI.

"What's wrong, Captain? Did we lose them again?"

Both Kuangdao and Taohua said with a smile.

Taiwo sighed and said, "The alien races that dare to venture into Cold Flame Lake are all too cunning. They all have rich combat experience. Even if our detectors are more advanced than theirs, it is too difficult to launch a sneak attack!"

"Yes! They're too vigilant; they don't give us a single chance."

"In this Cold Flame Lake, anyone who isn't vigilant would have been dead long ago."

"I'm so angry! We've been at Coldflame Lake for half a month and haven't experienced a single battle. My greatsword is itching for a fight!"

The beast said somewhat dejectedly.

Ye Xingkong calmly observed all of this.

Upon arriving at the renowned Cold Flame Lake, the number of battles actually decreased compared to before.

That's because every powerful individual who dares to venture into Cold Flame Lake is extremely cautious; they would never launch an attack rashly without absolute certainty.

of course……

Once the battle begins, it will be a fight to the death.

Either you die or I die!
The winner will not make a sale for three years, but once he does, he will live off it for three years.

The loser loses everything, including their own life.

"Damn, a spaceship is approaching us!"

At this moment, He Gu suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh? Is a battle about to begin?"

The beast's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Fight my ass! The enemy has three immortal gods!"

He Gu's eyes widened, and he immediately ordered the Giant Rock Star spaceship to begin its retreat.

At this moment, Ye Xingkong sighed silently.

With such obsequiousness, when will I, Ye, ever accumulate a billion military merits?
Thinking of this, Ye Xingkong finally spoke.

"Captain, perhaps we can try to fight them."

Ye Xingkong said in a calm tone.

"Ok?"

The entire Thunderbolt Squad turned their gazes toward Ye Xingkong, their faces showing surprise.

In previous battles, Ye Xingkong had already fully demonstrated his strength, ranking second in the team, second only to the immortal god He Gu.

This also dramatically increased Ye Xingkong's influence within the Thunderbolt Squad, even surpassing that of veteran members like Zi Xue and Kuang Dao.

In this universe, strength ultimately speaks for itself.

"Ye Wen, are you confident?"

He Gu frowned as he spoke, though he was actually somewhat displeased.

After all, he was the captain of the Thunderbolt Squad.

"Of course!"

Ye Xingkong's eyes lit up, and he said, "I can handle two Immortals by myself. I'll leave the last Immortal to you, Captain."

"If you don't believe me, take a look at this!"

Ye Xingkong flicked his palm, and a golden vine spread out, exuding an extremely wild and domineering aura of immortality.

"This, this is a Star-Eating Grass?"

"Holy crap, an Immortal-grade Star-Eating Grass!"

Da Shan stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

Star-Eating Grass is known as the most resilient plant life. Even the most ordinary Hundred Vine Star-Eating Grass, once it breaks through to immortality, possesses strength comparable to that of a high-level military lord immortal.

"Ye Wen, you..."

He Gu looked at Ye Xingkong with great shock.

"Now everyone can believe that I can handle two immortals, right?"

Ye Xingkong said with a smile.

"How can I not believe?"

"Damn it, Ye Wen, tell me honestly, are you a disciple from some super family who went out for training?"

"It's actually an Immortal-grade Star-Eating Grass! I've certainly broadened my horizons!"

The Thunderbolt Squad members were incredibly excited.

With such a powerful figure in the team, even if they just sit on the sidelines and drink the soup, they will earn more military merits than before.

Moreover, with such a powerful figure around, their safety while adventuring in Cold Flame Lake can be greatly improved.

"Damn, if you have such a powerful weapon, why didn't you bring it out sooner?"

The beast grinned and laughed loudly.

"To be honest, the main reason I came out this time was to gain experience."

"The elders in my family prepared this Immortal-grade Star-Eating Grass for me only to save my life. If I use it in battle, it won't serve as a training tool."

Ye Xingkong said very modestly.

"No wonder they're from a big family, so extravagant!"

"A life-saving treasure given to a realm lord is worth millions of Chaos Yuan!"

Zi Xue was stunned.

"All right!"

"Since Ye Wen possesses an Immortal-grade Star-Eating Grass, I hereby declare a change in the battle plan!"

"Those three alien immortals dared to provoke us; we must show them the power of the Thunderbolt Squad!"

He Gu laughed heartily as he spoke.

Ye Xingkong nodded secretly.

If the Thunderbolt Squad had followed its original fighting style, it might have taken him several years to accumulate one billion military merits.

As for the exposed star-eating grass?
Not to mention that Ye Xingkong didn't specify how many vines of Star-Eating Grass he had, the difference between a hundred vines of Star-Eating Grass and a thousand vines of Star-Eating Grass is like heaven and earth.

Besides, even if it were exposed, it wouldn't matter at all.

After all, the entire Thunderbolt Squad combined couldn't even defeat Ye Xingkong with one hand.

Only the weak need to be timid and hide their trump cards; the strong only need to strike hard!
