Swallowing the Stars: Providing a Loan to Luo Feng Begins

Chapter 124 What?! A Realm Lord fighting a Universe Venerable? (3.7k)

Years passed.

Luo Feng would occasionally receive 'treasure points' from the Virtual Universe Company, and these treasure points would keep flowing into his account...

On the Hongmeng alien race side, the number of pre-sold items is much greater than that of the human race.

but.
The human race has strict restrictions on the pre-sale of Time Masters from other races, in order to limit the number of Universe Lords that can be created by other races.

But even so.

Nearly three thousand drops of the Bone Marrow Liquid have been pre-sold so far.

There were items from both human and non-human races from the Hongmeng Alliance. Because the prices on both sides were different, a total of 93 Treasure Points were obtained from the sales.

Compared to the last sale, I earned several times more because the proportion of sales to other races increased, and my income naturally skyrocketed...

The human race is also issuing a final announcement.

They said there were only 800 drops left, first come, first served, and that there would be no more Boundary Essence for sale after that. Only those who paid first would have a chance to buy it.

If you buy it now, you'll have to wait until about 30 million epochs to get it.

However, the kings of the alien races were still urgently collecting precious treasures. Even those who had bought just a drop were worried that they wouldn't be able to break through to the next level, so they continued to collect them.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom sat in the Debt Club, his face beaming with joy.

The Debt Club has tens of thousands of members. More importantly, there are now a great many members active in his 'Debt Club' dimension every day.

Many people gather here to exchange intelligence and hunt down alien races to become kings.

such as:

Outside of the Hongmeng Alliance, the King of Kings is invincible.

They are highly sought after in the Debt Club; as soon as they receive the relevant information, a large number of cosmic venerables will secretly plot to act together.

They were dispatched swiftly.

Each time you kill a King-level Invincible and take all their treasures, you get nearly a hundred to several hundred treasure points!
If divided equally among multiple cosmic venerables, it would still amount to a considerable sum.

However, as the activities increased, the alliances of the demon race, the insect race, and others began to subvert the usual tactics. They would use the promise of invincibility as bait, hiding a cosmic overlord behind it all.
Several cosmic masters have already perished because of this.

Waiting for resurrection.

Initially, when there was a large-scale hunt and bullying of those who held the title of King, many Universe Venerables made a fortune. Now, however, it has become increasingly difficult to earn Treasure Points.

"It's all thanks to my wisdom, Qianwu." The Qianwu King looked at the debt information above each person's head in a room in the first-floor hall.

He felt quite content.

With the club's daily activity increasing, the small amount he charged for services such as drinks, calculated in mixed units, accumulated over time into a considerable sum.

Continue like this.

The time it took him to pay off his debts was greatly shortened.

Extraterritorial battlefield.

The Shattered Realm King has been missing for the past hundred years, but the various alien races haven't been paying much attention to him.

There is still no accurate definition of the race of the Shattered Realm Kings.

Most people believe it to be a 'special life form' with a powerful divine body that can withstand some powerful attacks, and a huge size, which obviously indicates that its genetic level is also quite high.

Currently.

The strange behemoth, Shattering World King, was recognized as having the strength of a high-ranking king.
Or perhaps the pinnacle of becoming a king.

Nowadays, the battlefields beyond the borders are engulfed in flames of war. Due to the large-scale massacres carried out by the kings of the Hong Alliance, other alien races have followed suit.

They formed small teams and became increasingly cautious in their actions.

Quietly.

It seems as if a major battle is about to take place on the battlefield outside the region.

Normally, the four peak races would only clash once every 1000 epochs. But this time, as the fighting became increasingly frenzied, the various races within the four major factions also became more and more mad, and their hatred for each other deepened.

Some people are worried about their debts.

Someone is seeking revenge for their relatives and friends.

At this crucial moment, Luo Feng was diligently cultivating, constantly refining his mindset and gradually strengthening his will.

The second tribulation of the 'Nine Tribulations Secret Manual'.

His human clone has completed its cultivation.

In fact, the Golden Horned Beast had already quietly returned to the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company and was cultivating in its inner world within the original core.

If you fail to cultivate within your inner world, you will turn to ashes.

In an instant, the body can be reorganized without consuming any energy.

"The Golden Horned Beast's gene multiplier is still not high enough!" Luo Feng wanted to break through to the Golden Horned Beast's perfect gene level.

The first tribulation is 3 times the normal rate.

The second tribulation is twice as much.

The total can only be six times!
Moreover, some of the strengthened parts, such as the left and right hooves, etc., can no longer be improved by the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual; they have reached a limit.

"Chen Qi, I remember you said that the perfect gene level can obtain the secret techniques bestowed by the original universe, but now I feel that even after cultivating the second tribulation, I am still far from it!" Luo Feng, the golden-horned giant beast, felt.

His golden-horned behemoth had been strengthened several times through flesh and blood evolution, but in the later stages, the effect of flesh and blood evolution was not as good as that of the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual.

Chen Qi was analyzing in the system space:

"After the perfect genetic level."

"The secret techniques bestowed by the primordial universe are still extremely powerful."

Moreover, Chen Qi remembered that in the original story, Luo Feng followed the Secret Pattern School, which relied on the secret techniques bestowed by the primordial universe.

In that special space.

Luo Feng obtained a secret talent technique called 'I Am the Universe'.

It's unknown what secret technique Luo Feng will obtain in this timeline, but in any case, that secret technique is at the level of a universe master!
Whether it's the Golden Horned Beast enhancing its genetic level or receiving a secret technique.

All of these can significantly enhance Luo Feng's current combat power.

“However, given the current situation, it will take a very, very long time to obtain the secret techniques bestowed by the primordial universe.” Luo Feng judged that the second tribulation alone was definitely not enough to reach the perfect genetic level that Chen Qi had mentioned.

That is, a gene multiplicity of 10081.

In the system space, Chen Qi also agreed with this point.

"For the Golden Horned Beast to reach the perfect genetic level, it would have to cultivate to the third tribulation, which would require obtaining the third metal plate."

"The first metal plate records the first calamity, and many other things."

"In addition to your second piece, you now have the complete contents of the first tribulation, the second tribulation, and the fifth tribulation."

"However, without the third and fourth tribulations, one cannot cultivate to the fifth tribulation." "Therefore, we need to obtain the third metal plate, which will allow us to directly cultivate to the content of the fifth tribulation..."

Chen Qi recalls the original plot.

The third metal plate contains information on the third and fourth tribulations, allowing the Golden Horned Beast to cultivate three tribulations consecutively, which should be enough for it to reach the perfect genetic level.

In the original storyline, the metal plate was located in a secret cosmic realm.

Named:

'Wuhua Secret Realm'.

There are also two special life-type cosmic venerables guarding them. Those two cosmic venerables were arranged by the Mountain-Sitting Guest, so each metal plate should be specially arranged.

Just like when Luo Feng failed to find the first metal plate on Earth.

But then it appeared on its own.

For example, the second piece was in the hands of a powerful member of the Nashi Clan in the original storyline, but Luo Feng did not find it in this storyline either.

In the end, however:
Puti delivered it personally.

Therefore, the third metal plate may not necessarily be in the hands of those two cosmic lords, 'Wo Kou'...

Upon hearing that obtaining the third metal plate would allow him to cultivate the Five Tribulations, Luo Feng mentally asked Chen Qi:

"Chen Qi, where is the third metal plate?"

“Um…” Chen Qi thought for a moment, then said directly, “Why don’t you ask Puti directly where the third metal plate is?”

Chen Qi felt that Puti most likely knew about it.

In the original storyline, after Luo Feng recognized the Star Tower as his master, the locations of the subsequent metal plates were directly revealed, because each metal plate was essentially just a test.

"it is good."

Luo Feng asked through the account that Puti had left behind in the virtual universe, "Senior Puti, do you know where the third metal plate is?"

The remote and mysterious Wuhua.

Puti is currently visiting the Kou tribe in the Wuhua Secret Realm with the Mountain Guest, but Puti's current appearance is still a disguise.

On one side was the burly, imposing mountain dweller, followed by a servant-like figure, who was Puti. On the other side were two somewhat apprehensive 'bandits', one being the Purple Bandit Venerable and the other the Green Bandit Venerable.

"You two understand the situation, right? If any creature comes looking for this special metal plate, then no matter what level it is, you must fight it, unless you are powerless to fight back, such as someone facing a death threat, then you can give it the metal plate."

As the mountain dweller gave his instructions, a clearly damaged metal plate floated in front of him.

Upon hearing this, Venerable Qingou Kou wondered why the Mountain-Sitting Guest would go through such trouble, while Venerable Ziou Kou immediately replied, "We understand, Senior Mountain-Sitting Guest."

"Um"

"Remember, you can only give it to him if he beats at least one of you to the point of death. If neither of you can hold on, then you can ask me for help," the Mountain Hermit instructed once again.

The two Venerable Kou nodded in agreement: "Yes!"

"Take it." The Mountain-Sitting Guest manipulated the metal plate, which flew to the two of them.

The Venerable Zidou Kou held it respectfully. Although he couldn't figure out what use the metal plate was, he still carefully put it away.

This was something that the most mysterious person among the strongest beings in the Lone Ranger Universe had entrusted to him.

How dare those two mere cosmic venerables disobey?
"Senior Sitting Mountain Guest, I still have a question. What realm is that person? Is he a top-tier universe overlord?" Qing Kou asked. As a special life form, although the Kou clan is not one of those special ones, there are only a few, or even a single, powerful special life forms.

He's not considered too weak even among the cosmic masters.

Zi Dou Kou is one of the seventy-two divine generals of the Ancestral God Sect!

Furthermore, the person being tested by the Mountain Guest must fight both of them simultaneously, and must fight until at least one of them is in mortal danger before they can admit defeat and return the metal plate.

What level of skill would that be?
A top-tier cosmic overlord? Or even the master of the universe?
"No need to ask, no need to worry, just do as instructed," the Mountain Guest ordered, then led his eldest disciple, 'Puti,' away into the distance.

They had just left the Kou clan.

While still in the Wuhua Secret Realm, Puti received an inquiry from Luo Feng.

“Teacher, this is a message from Luo Feng, the third candidate who is most likely to be recognized as the master of the Star Tower. He is asking where the third metal plate is.”

How should I reply to him?

Puti asked the mountain dweller for his opinion.

The mountain hermit pondered for a moment, then said, "Tell him the truth, tell him we must defeat these two bandits and snatch it from them!"

"In that case, he should back down."

“I told you, that kid possessed the Golden Horned Beast. Once he becomes immortal, with his cultivation level, his multiple clones working together should be able to keep the Golden Horned Beast's body restraining Zi Gou Kou while his human clones threaten Qing Gou Kou's life.”

“Okay.” Puti relayed to Luo Feng the story of the three metal plates in the 'Wuhua Secret Realm' with the two Kou Venerables, and also told Luo Feng that only by defeating these two Kou Venerables could he obtain the third metal plate.

Virtual Universe Company Headquarters.

In order to cultivate the Nine Tribulations Secret Scripture, the human body, the Golden Horned Beast body, and the original core are currently all at the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company.

but
The Soul-Devouring Beast clone, disguised as Luo Feng in his human form, walked through Chaos City, and the alien races' gazes remained fixed on the Soul-Devouring Beast Luo Feng.

At the headquarters of Virtual Universe Corporation.

Luo Feng's human body received a message from Puti.

Babata, Chen Qi, and Luo Feng all fell silent upon seeing how the third metal plate was obtained.

"Lord Chen Qi, what should we do? Should Luo Feng fight a Universe Venerable? Or a special life form? And we have to beat them until they can't fight back before we can get it?"

"He's the Realm Lord!"

"A Realm Lord versus a Universe Venerable?"

"What kind of understanding of the laws does that require, what level of secret techniques do you need to master? Even if you have a powerful treasure, you still need sufficient strength to unleash its power!"

Babata couldn't help but say.

"Not only that, Venerable Zidou Kou is one of the seventy-two divine generals of the Ancestral God Sect, with the strength of a top-tier cosmic overlord." Chen Qi recalled the original plot.

Luo Feng calmly replied, "Top-tier universe overlords are just top-tier universe venerables. After I cultivate for a few years, I will eventually have the opportunity to defeat them."

Chen Qi, who was in the system space, thought for the first time that he should borrow some powerful treasures and let Luo Feng try to fight the universe overlord, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed unnecessary.

Now, however, there is another approach and idea.

He shared his plans and ideas with Babata and Luo Feng.

Suddenly.

Both a human and an intelligent life form think it's feasible!
"Chen Qi, shall we take action now?" Luo Feng couldn't contain his thoughts and asked under the urging of Babata and Chen Qi.

Luo Feng logged into the virtual universe.

Gone:

'Debt Club'.
