Swallowing the Stars: Starting from the Endless Dungeon

Chapter 67 Radiant Dungeon

"How much?"

"Five hundred spirit coins! Brother, don't think it's expensive. If we can really find the Bloodline Fruit, or avoid danger using the map, five hundred spirit coins are nothing at all—"

The lean man quickly explained that the price was unacceptable to many people, who might then seek out other sellers.

"Okay, sure."

Su Jing didn't haggle with the other party. It was only about five hundred spirit coins, which wasn't a lot of money for him.

"Alright, brother, here's the map to the Radiant Realm. Not only does it include the map, but it also contains a lot of information compiled by those who have been there before. It's definitely worth the money!"

Su Jing flipped through the book in his hand. It was a thick book containing a map of the Radiant Realm. For an ordinary person, memorizing this map would be extremely difficult, but for him, it was child's play.

Looking at the information on the map, Su Jing couldn't help but sigh. The exploration of this secret realm over the years had been quite thorough. Because the conditions for the birth of the Bloodline Fruit meant that the ferocious beasts inside couldn't be completely wiped out, most people wouldn't attack the beasts once they entered the realm, unless they encountered danger. This was a rule set by the Spirit Pattern Empire. After all, if all the beasts were killed, it would take countless more years for the Bloodline Fruit to reappear. So, unless attacked by the beasts, those entering the secret realm wouldn't actively attack them. Their only goal was the Bloodline Fruit. Of course, there were other treasures, but they were far inferior to the Bloodline Fruit. If they couldn't find the Bloodline Fruit, they could still compete for other treasures to minimize their losses. This map marked the locations where previous people had encountered the Bloodline Fruit. Of course, the chance of encountering it again at these locations was extremely slim; otherwise, such a map wouldn't only cost five hundred spirit pattern coins.

As more and more people entered the secret realm, at a certain point, the two cosmic-level beings guarding the entrance received an order: "Everyone, do not rush. Enter in an orderly manner according to the order. The period is half a month. During this time, you may freely enter and exit. After half a month, the secret realm will be closed!"

The next moment, the cosmic-level beings at the forefront took out their tokens, cautiously watching the people around them as they entered. After all, the cosmic-level beings here were each other's biggest competitors. The secret realm opened once a year, lasting for half a month each time. Sometimes, not a single bloodline fruit could be found in a single secret realm, while other times it was like a bumper harvest. It all depended on luck. As all the people holding tokens entered, the people around did not disperse. There were quite a few people here, including the heads of large families and rare item shops. They were all waiting. They could come out at any time during the half month. No one could say for sure whether someone would be lucky enough to get a bloodline fruit. If someone did get a bloodline fruit, they would all rush to buy it from the other person.

Seeing this, Su Jing didn't join in the fun. He had already gotten what he wanted. As he walked out, he checked the information about the new dungeon: [Dungeon: Radiant Realm].

[Rank: Planetary to Universe]

[Monsters: Hector, Payne, Valentine, Russell —]

[Dropped Items: Fire Law Affinity, Wind Domain Insight, Bloodline Fruit, Moon Soul Frost Essence]

[First Clear Reward: Origin Crystal]

The cosmic-level dungeon was within his expectations. Although there were domain lords on the planets, they only existed on the planets, and there were no domain lords in the secret realms. Therefore, it was normal that only cosmic-level dungeons were generated. As for the drops, they were decent, with Law Affinity and Domain Insight. Bloodline Fruit also appeared in the dungeon as expected, which meant that if he needed it, he could just farm the dungeon. Of course, this thing wouldn't be of much help to him. What Su Jing cared about most was the first-clear reward of the dungeon. In the two cosmic-level dungeons he cleared for the first time, the first-clear rewards were both good. Lightning Law Affinity greatly increased his upper limit, and the Willpower Codex was his trump card for the future.

A wisp of consciousness entered the virtual universe, where Su Jing searched for information about the Origin Crystal. He found nothing, which was within his expectations. He could only wait until he cleared the dungeon for the first time to find out the Origin Crystal's effects. Hopefully, it would further enhance his potential. After all, without improving his realm, the only way to increase his strength was to focus on laws and secret techniques; nothing else would offer significant improvement. It was better to continue accumulating potential, as his improvement speed would be magnified countless times after the Genius Battle.

After arriving at a hotel, checking into a room, and finding no other issues, I selected the dungeon [Radiant Realm].

The next moment, Su Jing arrived inside the Radiant Secret Realm, a blood-red world with faint glimmers of light in the sky illuminating the entire world. He wondered how this secret realm came to be, with such a unique environment. Boom!

The next moment, a ferocious beast leaped out from the ground, attempting to ambush Su Jing. However, Su Jing had already detected its movements, but due to the vast difference in power, he didn't pay attention. He kicked the beast thousands of meters away, killing it instantly. This was merely a planetary-level beast. These beasts truly lacked intelligence; only the special rules of the secret realm could give rise to such behavior. Anyone with even a shred of intelligence wouldn't act so recklessly. Su Jing slowly flew through the secret realm, not in a hurry to find enemies. Everyone here was an enemy. He killed all the beasts he sensed along the way. The thought of having to kill all the enemies within the entire dungeon to clear it for the first time, and the fact that beasts were also considered enemies, gave Su Jing a headache. This secret realm was more than a hundred times the size of the outer Radiant Star, and the number of beasts inside was countless, especially given the regulations of the Spirit Pattern Empire, which prohibited large-scale attacks. Killing ferocious beasts has resulted in an abundance of them accumulating within the instance. The thought of this gives Su Jing a headache. While his current strength makes him virtually invincible in this instance, capable of slaying large numbers of beasts at once, the entire secret realm is vast, and countless beasts are hiding. Finding them will take considerable time. Therefore, he can't rush things in this instance unless his strength allows him to quickly eliminate all the beasts. Otherwise, he'll have to search slowly, leaving no place unchecked. He's decided that once he completes the first clear and identifies the valuable loot, he'll enter the instance and attack those individuals, then commit suicide to leave, or cultivate a secret technique for a year before leaving. Leaving the instance through a first clear would waste far too much time.
