Swallowing the Stars: Level 1, One Talent, Invincible Chaos Origin

Chapter 116, The Limitations of the Blood Continent

Although the ancient god ruins were vast and contained numerous vortexes of malevolent energy, Jiang Ming did not spend much time there.

The most costly part of the journey was traveling.

"Unbeknownst to us, we've already harvested enough Blood Crystals; it seems we no longer need to collect them specifically."

Jiang Ming gazed at the ruins of the ancient god.

The number of Immortals on the Blood Luo Continent was much greater than Jiang Ming had anticipated. Amidst the millions of vortexes of malevolent energy in the ancient god ruins, Jiang Ming encountered hundreds of Immortals along the way.

Jiang Ming ignored the ones that were a little too far away.

However, all the immortal gods who were bound to pass through Jiang Ming's territory were killed by him.

The number of immortal gods who died at Jiang Ming's hands has exceeded three hundred, almost turning the entire ancient god ruins upside down.

"A million Blood Crystals is enough. With so many Blood Crystals, it would be too greedy to continue harvesting them."

Ultimately, the Blood Continent is still being kept under the control of the Virtual Universe Company.

Although Jiang Ming's strength was extraordinary, reaping a large amount of Blood Crystals was just a matter of raising his hand.

But this is tantamount to uprooting Virtual Universe Company. Putting aside whether Virtual Universe Company will sit idly by and watch Jiang Ming do this, this kind of greed is indeed a bit ugly.

"Let's go take a look at the Temple of Immortality."

While observing and comprehending the secret patterns of the laws, Jiang Ming also took a moment to comprehend the three ancient diagrams.

The existence of these three images touched Jiang Ming.

I have gained a deeper understanding of the methods of physical combat.

"Blood Prison, you can stay in the World Ring for now."

Jiang Ming spoke to the Blood Prison Giant Elephant, who was waiting respectfully to the side.

"Yes, Master."

Blood Prison respectfully said.

Jiang Ming stored the Blood Prison Giant Elephant in his spatial ring and took a step forward.

This step seems to span a scale of space; with each step, hundreds of thousands of kilometers are covered.

“The difference between true ‘teleportation’ and ‘teleportation’ performed using ‘Godslayer Domain’ is enormous.”

Jiang Ming was experiencing the sensations he had just felt during the 'teleportation'.

As one of the three major categories of space, 'teleportation' has many subcategories that can achieve a similar effect in terms of external manifestation.

In terms of outward manifestation, phenomena such as 'spatial resonance' and 'body merging with the void' are very similar to 'teleportation'.

Calling it 'teleportation' isn't a big problem.

However, compared to true 'teleportation,' the difference is huge.

Generally, immortal beings can teleport 1 to 2 light-years in a single teleport.

However, if it's a smaller type of 'teleportation' technique, being able to move tens of thousands of kilometers at a time would be the absolute maximum.

"However, the range of spatial fluctuations generated is a bit too large."

Jiang Ming could sense that when he 'teleported' out, the area around his landing point caused a huge spatial fluctuation.

"The range of this spatial fluctuation is too large; the 'Soul Golden Pearl' cannot conceal the spatial fluctuations generated by the 'teleportation'."

The farther the 'teleportation' distance, the greater the spatial fluctuations it generates.

The 'Soul Golden Pearl' can only conceal the surrounding law fluctuations, with Jiang Ming himself as the center.

The spatial fluctuations caused by 'teleportation' occur not only at the initial point but also at the landing point.

The spatial fluctuations at the initial point may still be hidden, but the spatial fluctuations at the landing point have absolutely no chance of being hidden.

Jiang Ming practiced it repeatedly, becoming familiar with the use of 'teleportation'.

On the vast land, a majestic ancient city, stained with blood, stands tall.

The marks of time and weather on the city wall record the passage of years.

One after another, powerful human warriors were being devoured at the city gates, like an ancient monster relentlessly consuming its prey. A plaque hung above the crimson ancient city, inscribed in an extremely ancient language of the Blood Luo Continent: 'Immortal Divine City'.

"The environment of the Blood Continent has created quite a few Immortal-level beings."

Jiang Ming, like a silent ghost, entered through the city gate. As soon as he entered the city, he discovered a large amount of immortal aura.

"Over countless years, the human race in the universe has accumulated only a little over ten thousand immortal beings on average per universe nation."

But in this Blood Luo Continent, just this one Immortal Divine City alone has more than ten thousand Immortals.

With Jiang Ming's current strength, even if a being equivalent to a Universe Venerable were to make a move, he could easily retreat, so he was not worried about encountering any danger.

They were also extremely bold in exploring their surroundings.

"However, this strength is too weak."

After examining the area, Jiang Ming gained a general understanding of the strength within the Immortal City.

There are approximately 30,000 immortal gods, but their strength is mostly at the most ordinary immortal level, with no more than a thousand possessing the strength of a high-level military lord.

Surprisingly, only three people had the ability to be granted the title of Marquis.

The proportion of strong individuals far exceeded Jiang Ming's expectations.

"This must be the limitation of the secret realm."

The 'Immortal Temple' has ruled the Blood Luo Continent for billions of years without any large-scale wars, and the number of immortal gods will only increase.

The history of the Blood Continent is even older than that of the oldest cosmic nation of the human race.

The accumulation of time, coupled with the unique environment of the Blood Continent, has resulted in a larger number of immortals. Although this is somewhat unexpected, it is also reasonable.

Yet, among so many immortals, the proportion of truly powerful individuals is only so small.

The only explanation is the limitations of the secret realm.

"Being born in a secret realm is both a blessing and a curse."

Jiang Ming sighed.

In addition to the division into different races, the human race can also be divided into three categories based on their living environment.

They are respectively: the Cosmic Human Race, the Mysterious Realm Human Race, and the Divine Kingdom Human Race.

A continent in a cosmic secret realm can be comparable to a cosmic nation, and it is normal for a cosmic secret realm to have tens of thousands of such continents.

The divine realm of the immortal gods is also vast and boundless, capable of supporting countless humans.

If judged by population size, it should be number one.

In comparison, the number of extraterrestrial humans is the smallest.

"No wonder tribal wars are so brutal; territorial disputes are also disputes over the continuation of a race."

As Jiang Ming gazed upon this majestic divine city, he sensed its immense and vast aura, yet beneath it emanated a gradually decaying and deteriorating atmosphere.

The upper limit for humans in the secret realm is almost immortality; those who can break through beyond immortality are extremely rare.

The probability of breaking through to immortality is even more outrageously low.

The human race in the Divine Kingdom is even more miserable, with the highest limit often only reaching the World Lord level, and those who can become immortal can only be described as miracles.

Plants need sufficient sunlight to grow; if plants are too densely packed, none of them will grow well.

The same thing!
The formation of life is very special, whether it is flesh-and-blood life, mechanical life, plant life, etc...

Every living thing absorbs the 'essence' of the entire universe during its gestation.

Life is conceived and grows by absorbing special energy from the universe.

For example, if there is only one life-bearing planet within a 1000 light-year radius, and that planet has 100 billion people, then almost all the cosmic energy within that 1000 light-year radius is used to cultivate that one life-bearing planet.

And the 'Cosmic Secret Realm'.

With a population comparable to that of a cosmic nation, yet crammed onto a large landmass, the population density is many times higher, naturally resulting in a much smaller supply of 'cosmic essence'.

And 'human beings of the divine kingdom'.

The divine kingdom is located in a spatial rift, not in the original universe. The amount of cosmic essence it can absorb is pitifully less than that of humans in the 'cosmic secret realm'!
