Zerg Lord of the Devouring Stars

After one person was sacrificed, the castle gates opened.

Tens of thousands of adventurers, all dressed in alloy battle suits and divided into five major factions, looked up in awe at the castle surrounded by lightning.

"Click-clack~" The castle emitted a deep sound, and its massive gates began to slowly open.

The elite leaders of the four major factions—Black Cloud Society, Hundred Tiger Tower, Northern Dragon City, and the Holy Land "Ice Sea Divine Kingdom"—simply watched Brolin in front of them, seemingly stunned by his move and unwilling to step forward to seize the treasure.

Suddenly, all the electric light on the surface of the entire Thunder Castle vanished, and the once ancient and dilapidated castle was transformed into something brand new.

Then, beams of light lit up the entire castle, enveloping it completely.

"Haha, hahahaha—"

Strange, unrestrained laughter echoed through the castle.

"What's going on? Why are there still people here?"

"A Realm Lord? Are there Realm Lords still alive?"

"Impossible. This realm within a realm has existed for over ten million years. The realm lord is not immortal; he died long ago."

More than 10,000 adventurers were once again stunned.

Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen were also extremely shocked. Only Jiang Chen and Babata knew that this creature, which had lived for so long, must be intelligent.

Moreover, Jiang Chen knew that after millions of years of solitude, this intelligence had evolved into an "intelligent life form" like Babata.

"Having lived for so long, it must be the auxiliary intelligence of that deceased realm lord," Che's disdainful voice echoed in Luo Feng's mind. "I just wonder if this intelligence has evolved into a fully-fledged intelligent life form."

"A highly intelligent life form that has lived in solitude for millions of years must be a complete freak!"

Luo Feng frowned, while Jiang Chen watched the scene with great interest.

Above the castle, beams of light converged, eventually forming a virtual human figure.

It was a chubby old man with a white beard, who squinted as he looked down at the more than 10,000 people below.

"Little ones, you've come here because you want the treasure of the Realm Within a Realm, haven't you?" The white-bearded old man smiled as he looked down at the tens of thousands of people below.

"look!"

The white-bearded old man pointed to his side, and there above the castle, beams of light converged, instantly creating a huge screen. The screen displayed a dazzling array of images of various items and treasures.

The most central part of it is a crystal ball with strange colors.

At this moment, virtually every insightful leader focused their attention on the crystal ball with its strange colors.

Jiang Chen, along with tens of thousands of other star-level beings around him, focused their attention on the images.

"Master has many treasures."

"After careful categorization, I found that there are 68 types and 312 items of treasures in total."

The white-bearded old man pointed to the screen next to him, and a leaderboard immediately appeared on the screen.

"No. 1 Complete Set of Spatial Secret Techniques Inheritance Crystal Ball Deposit Bank Account (Triple Account)"

No.2 Master's bank account number; No.3 Domain Lord-level Bloodline Potion (one copy)

No. 4——

No. 68, a fifth-tier Force weapon, the Heavenly Fire Wheel.

There are 68 kinds of treasures, and some treasures are available in three or four, or even six or seven pieces, resulting in a total of 312 treasures.

Silence. Everyone was stunned.

"Insane! Insane! So many treasures?"

"Even the lowest-tier ones are fifth-tier Force weapons?"

"If I get just one of these, I'll instantly become the richest person in our galaxy!"

Jiang Chen, Luo Feng, Hong, Thor, and their fellow Earthlings, along with the other Star-level beings from different planets and galaxies, were all incredibly excited. "Openly, I'll personally compete for the Thunderstones to exchange for the treasures," Jiang Chen said, his eyes seemingly spitting fire. "Secretly, with Brolin's help, we'll secure at least half of these 312 treasures!"

Jiang Chen's eyes burned with desire. Each of these treasures was at least a fifth-tier psychic weapon or a force weapon. As a mere celestial being, without the right opportunity, he didn't know when he would be able to acquire even one.

People like Jiang Chen and Luo Feng, who had had opportunities before, were extremely excited, not to mention most of these adventurers who had just endured the hardships of becoming star-level adventurers. They were all staring at the images of those treasures with utter fervor.

The first item is the inheritance of the complete set of spatial secret techniques, which means that the secret techniques have been fully analyzed after the fundamental laws of space have been analyzed.

The third type of Domain Lord-level bloodline potion represents bloodlines that can reach the Domain Lord level upon adulthood, such as those of the Manka Star People.

The ninth is the "Fruit of Life," which comes in three forms. No matter how severe the injury to a Realm Lord, consuming just one Fruit of Life will allow him to fully recover.

These treasures are all incredibly expensive, and each of the top ten is something that domain lords and realm masters all desire.

The information here, captured and recorded by these tens of thousands of stars, was transmitted through the virtual universe to the domain lords, realm lords, and other powerful figures on Canglan Star, leaving them all in awe.

"This Lord Kabu, no wonder he was besieged by all sides back then, his treasure is truly astonishing."

"They even have Domain Lord-level bloodline potions; I wonder which race their bloodline belongs to."

"Truly wealthy, comparable to the immortal beings of poverty."

A world within a world.

Above the castle, the white-bearded old man pointed at the screen and smiled, "Do you see clearly? This is the treasure left behind by my master."

"Want these treasures?"

"Every item here can be exchanged for Thunderstones. Look, each item has a detailed price."

Immediately, the already arranged images were accompanied by the required number of Thunderstones.

"No. 1: The complete set of spatial secret technique inheritance crystal ball deposited in the bank account (triple account), each account costs 1000 million Thunderstones. Combining the three accounts allows you to withdraw the inheritance crystal ball from the Universe's First Bank. No. 2: The owner's bank account, requiring 800 million Thunderstones. No. 3: Domain Lord-level Bloodline Potion (one dose), requiring 300 million Thunderstones. No. 4—"

no9生命果实（三颗），每颗80万颗雷霆石No32D6级轨道炮（三架），每一架21万颗雷霆石No．68五阶原力兵器天火轮（一件），每件10万颗雷霆石。」

"Thunderstone, what is Thunderstone?"

The adventurers below watched with envy. If they possessed this Thunderstone, wouldn't they also be able to exchange it for a treasure?

The white-bearded old man formed by the focused beam of light smiled and said, "Thunderstone, that's the name I gave it. This kind of stone is unique to this realm within a realm."

"Look closely, this is Thunderstone." A picture of Thunderstone appeared on the screen, along with a lot of detailed information.

Everyone recorded it through the auxiliary optical brain and the intelligent optical brain.

"However, Thunderstone is different from Cosmic Crystal; your 'energy testing device' has difficulty detecting it."

"To make it easier for you to find them, here is a map showing the distribution of Thunderstone."

The white-bearded old man waved his hand again, and a map appeared next to the screen.

"This is a simplified map of the Realm Within a Realm, which can be roughly divided into 26 areas. The Thunderstones are scattered throughout these 26 areas, and the map shows their distribution."

"Let's go dig for thunderstone!"

"You can kill each other for Thunderstones. As long as you have enough Thunderstones, you can trade with me for any treasure you want."

There was a hint of madness in the white-bearded old man's eyes.

"Go! I'll be waiting here for you to exchange for the treasure!"

"And then, the Great Thunderstone Era began." Jiang Chen murmured to himself, looking up at the somewhat crazed white-bearded old man in the sky.

He enjoys killing and takes pleasure in the killing of others; he is indeed a pervert.

"Hurry up."

"Quick, quick, go find the Thunderstone!"

"The 9th, 10th, and 11th formations form a small team. You will head to the nearest mountain range on the map to excavate Thunderstone. Luo Feng and his twenty men are from the Holy Land Black Dragon Mountain, which is Brolin's 9th formation. They have now gathered into a team of thousands and are rapidly heading towards the mountain area."

A vast crowd of people flew rapidly through the air.

"This is insane," Thor shook his head. "This fight for the Thunderstone will drive everyone crazy."

"Everyone, this is also our opportunity," Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"Yes, that way, ordinary adventurers might get lucky and get some Thunderstones to exchange for some treasures." Luo Feng nodded with a firm gaze.

"We now have three options; you can choose whichever you prefer," Jiang Chen said.

Everyone look over here. What are three possibilities?

"The first method, which everyone knows, is to mine as many Thunderstones as possible to exchange for treasures and get your hands on the treasures you want."

"The second method is to exchange Thunderstones for Cosmic Crystals. Everyone knows that Thunderstones are treasures, so there must be people selling them. The price of one Thunderstone might be 100 or 200 Cosmic Crystals. If you mine more Thunderstones to exchange for them, it will be an astronomical figure."

"Of course, even if you exchange for a lot of cosmic crystals, it would be difficult to buy that one fifth-tier weapon."

The average price of a Tier 5 Force weapon is over a hundred billion cosmic coins. The 550,000 cubic cosmic crystals that Jiang Chen mined are equivalent to 500 million cosmic coins, which is just a fraction of the price of a Tier 5 weapon.

It's estimated to sell for 5 million Thunderstones, which is only worth 500 billion Cosmic Coins, roughly equivalent to a mid-to-high-grade Tier 5 weapon.

How many people can actually gather 5 million Thunderstones? And how many of them could exchange that many for a Tier 5 weapon that costs 100,000 or 200,000 Thunderstones?

That's enough to exchange for thirty or forty weapons.

The Fruit of Life, equivalent to a Realm Lord's life, is only worth 80 Thunder Stones.

Therefore, most people, if they had enough Thunderstones, would choose to exchange them for treasures instead of foolishly going to exchange them for Cosmic Crystals.

"The third option is to know when to quit while you're ahead and stay within the core area. Even if the fighting outside in the Thunderstone mining area is fierce, at least there won't be any life-threatening danger within the castle's core area."

"Of course, staying there offers virtually no hope of obtaining even a single cosmic crystal or treasure."

"What's your choice?"

Jiang Chen watched them think seriously, and after a moment everyone laughed.

"Let's give it our all!"

"This might be the only chance you get in your lifetime."

"That's right. Even if you can't collect enough Thunderstones to exchange for treasures, it's easy to exchange them for Cosmic Crystals and obtain billions or even hundreds of billions of Cosmic Coins."

"I'll give it my all! If I don't, I might stay at the Eternal Star level for the rest of my life. Only by desperately acquiring a fortune that even a Domain Lord can't obtain can I possibly go higher!"

Hong, Thor, Mohandsen, Ister, Jia Yi, Tripati, and Sokolov are all strong individuals who have come from the Great Nirvana. They have encountered all kinds of dangers and are not afraid of any life-or-death situations.

Jiang Chen and Luo Feng even set the minimum goal of becoming Realm Lords. They had no bottlenecks in reaching the Realm Lord level, so why would they be afraid?

A great man once said—

"When profits reach 50%, they will take any risk; when profits reach 100%, they will dare to trample on all human laws; when profits reach 300%, they will dare to risk being hanged."

What's more, there's a 2,000% profit margin here! If you don't take the plunge, you'll regret this decision for the rest of your life!

Within the realm of realms, twenty streaks of light swiftly broke through the darkness, splitting into three smaller teams at different times and escaping from the main force.
