Chapter 44 Vermilion Fruit [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Once the Iron Bell Shield is completed, its defense is unparalleled. When activated, it is like a giant bell protecting the body, making its defensive power unmatched.

Moreover, its internal energy has two characteristics. First, it has extremely strong defense against internal organs and is not afraid of attacks with penetrating characteristics like the Lingxu Sword Technique.

Secondly, the Iron Bell Shield can reflect attacks from others, greatly reducing the enemy's attack power.

This technique is often very effective against martial artists who excel at attacking but are relatively weak in defense.

It is said that once all three layers of the Golden Bell Shield are perfected, one can cultivate an indestructible Golden Bell that protects the body, capable of killing a person even if they are standing still.

Chu Kuang focused on his training and his progress was quite fast. In just half an hour, he had mastered the Iron Bell Shield to the point of achieving 65% completion.

"At this rate, it will only take about ten days to reach perfection."

Chu Kuang murmured to himself, then slowly stood up.

The spaceship passed through an asteroid belt and gradually slowed down in front of a star with a diameter of over 900 kilometers.

Ceres.

Looking at the stars before him, Chu Kuang's eyes rippled slightly.

Ceres is named after Earth, and it was the smallest dwarf planet in the solar system 100,000 years ago.

Later, human civilization opened up the Dark Domain and reclassified the star levels according to the Dark Domain level. Ceres was also reclassified as an asteroid, becoming the largest asteroid and a Level 1 Dark Domain asteroid.

With this foundation, after human civilization ventured out of the solar system, in order to commemorate its roots in the solar system, the largest asteroid in each star system was uniformly named Ceres.

The Ceres in front of us has a diameter of over 950 kilometers and a mass 1.13 times that of Ceres in our solar system. There has been no major breakthrough in the exploration of its dark regions.

"Om-"

Just as Chu Kuang's thoughts were racing, the spaceship successfully docked.

Chu Kuang calmly walked out and strode straight toward the stargate of Ceres.

Here, he was inspected by federal officers. A middle-aged officer frowned slightly when he saw his file and said, "High school freshman, what are you doing here?"

"I'm going to gain some experience."

Chu Kuang was worried that the other party wouldn't let him in, so he didn't tell the truth directly.

The middle-aged officer frowned slightly, shook his head, and said, "The Ceres Dark Domain is a pioneering area; one must reach at least level seven in life to enter."

"I have met the requirements."

Chu Kuang spoke, unleashing his immense life force.

The middle-aged officer didn't say anything, but led him to the testing channel. As the instruments beeped, his life level was determined.

"Level 7.5, your talent is not bad."

The middle-aged officer nodded, then said, "You're still a student, and this is your first time here, so we won't be assigning you any pioneering tasks this time."

"Remember, once inside, safety must be your top priority. Do not venture deep into the core of the Dark Domain."

"I see."

Chu Kuang nodded and quickly crossed the star gate back into the dark domain.

"..."

As soon as he stepped onto Ceres, Chu Kuang of the Dark Domain felt an extreme chill assail him.

He glanced at the mercury thermometer on his wristwatch and saw that its temperature had instantly plummeted to the minus thirty degree Celsius limit, indicating that the temperature in this dark region was at least below minus seventy or eighty degrees Celsius. Strangely, there was no snow in this dark region; only black soil as solid as black rock.

The air was filled with a rich source energy. If Chu Kuang's cultivation had not reached a bottleneck, absorbing source energy here every day would be equivalent to swallowing dozens of bottles of nutrient solution.

"If I don't encounter any bottlenecks and just keep absorbing knowledge every day, it's practically like I'm getting 10,000 Federal Credits for free every day."

"Ordinary fourth-grade root bones don't have any additional attributes, so their cultivation speed is ten times slower than mine, but it's still equivalent to getting five or six free nutrient potions every day."

A thought flashed through Chu Kuang's mind, and then he decisively took out the Bloodline Instrument.

Fortunately, the bloodline device was still functioning, and a faint crimson light shone, vaguely pointing in the east.

"It's too far to point clearly, but this direction should still be the direction of Falling Phoenix Valley."

After determining the direction of Chu's father, Chu Kuang picked up his spear and quickly headed into the depths of the Dark Domain.

Ceres is extremely vast, with an area of ​​over 600 million square kilometers, slightly larger than the surface area of ​​Earth.

Chu Kuang was heading to Falling Phoenix Valley, which was located more than 200 kilometers from the entrance to the Star Gate. Although it was not the core area of ​​the Ceres Dark Domain, it was a buffer zone between the human base and the alien races of the Ceres Dark Domain.

Two hundred kilometers is not a long distance for Chu Kuang now.

He was seen rushing along the way, using his full power to break through the formation, covering a hundred meters in an instant, and arriving at the edge of Falling Phoenix Valley in just half an hour.

At this moment, the bloodline instrument in Chu Kuang's hand began to emit a blazing light, clearly indicating that it was getting closer and closer to Chu's father.

"We're almost there. Dad is probably still in Luofengpo."

Chu Kuang was excited, and then followed the location of the Bloodline Instrument into the depths of the Dark Domain.

While Chu Kuang was searching for his father, in a secluded cave, Chu's father and Li Gang leaned against the stone wall, their faces showing extreme solemnity.

At this moment, Li Gang was covered in blood, and his armor on his chest was shattered, revealing a hideous sword mark through the cracks in the armor.

Although it blocked most of the damage to the shattered armor, the wound was not fatal, but it turned a dark black color.

"That Qin Jiu is too despicable. He is clearly stronger than us, yet he still uses poison."

As Chu's father applied the medicine to Li Gang, anger flashed in his eyes.

The captain of the Green Fang Squad is nicknamed Viper, and is also known as Snake Bro. His strength is not top-notch among his peers, but he is very troublesome.

Although he was not stabbed by Snake Brother, he was covered in wounds and had obviously been surrounded by enemies.

Li Gang gritted his teeth and waited for Chu's father to finish applying the medicine before speaking with a pale face: "He was wary of the sudden burst of our deadly power, so he didn't make a move after slashing me. It seems he was planning to wait until I was poisoned before taking action."

"You should escape on your own. You won't get far with me as a burden."

Chu's father gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment, and said, "No, Old Xu and Xiao Qian are both dead. I can't abandon you."

At this point, Chu's father said with great resentment, "Even our antidote can't cure his poison?"

"This snake venom is specially formulated and, combined with his Green Snake Force internal energy, is extremely difficult to deal with. Unless we can return to the main universe, we simply cannot remove the snake venom under the current conditions."

Li Gang sighed, a look of helplessness on his face.

Father Chu pondered for a moment, then took out a vermilion fruit and handed it to Li Gang, saying, "Eat this vermilion fruit; it might heal your internal injuries."
