Zerg Lord of the Devouring Stars

Jiang Chen sat in front of the computer, preparing to choose the secret manual he had cultivated over the past three years.

"The Zerg Queen herself possesses inherited memories and countless secret techniques, so she doesn't need to purchase them."

"Moreover, the Zerg corpses at the peak of the Realm Lord level that need to be purchased are too expensive, so it's not worth it to buy them here."

"For now, abandon the Zerg Queen and do not purchase anything."

"For weapons, one Void Flame Spear is enough for me. I'll choose a combat secret technique."

"Combat Secret Techniques." Jiang Chen clicked on the Secret Techniques category, quickly searching for a suitable one, with Hill's help.

Start making decisions.

"Are the secret techniques too expensive?" Jiang Chen shook his head, looking at the pile of secret techniques in front of him.

A fifth-tier weapon here costs only a dozen or so points, but the various secret techniques in front of us cost anywhere from tens of points to hundreds or thousands of points, with the more expensive ones costing millions or tens of millions of points.

Members of the Primordial Secret Realm are given 10,000 points, and I am given 100,000 points. However, most of the precious secret techniques here cannot be purchased.

"Master, the secret technique is something that a super strong person would never pass on; it is the culmination of their life's work."

"Old master, the secret techniques you collected also came at a great cost, but I estimate that the strongest secret technique is only worth about 1 to 2 points," Hill said.

The virtual universe company's points are very valuable. As a new member of "Primitive Realm", you receive 10 points for free at the beginning.

Although there are many secret techniques here that could drive immortals mad, the prices are also outrageously expensive.

Millions of points and tens of millions of points are not uncommon.

Jiang Chen naturally couldn't afford those precious secret techniques, so he could only choose the most suitable ones.

"This is too expensive, I can't afford it!"

"This secret technique sounds so appealing just from the description, it's a shame it requires 80 points?"

"This one is good, this one is the basic one."

"This one is good too."

"A soul-type arcane technique? What? It's just the most basic one, yet it's ten times more expensive than a regular combat arcane technique?"

"Soul-based arcane arts are too expensive. Hmm, I need to choose carefully—I'll choose this one!"

Jiang Chen and Hill discussed and pondered, while also considering that they only had 10 points in total. It took them nearly half an hour to finally complete the redemption.

The Zerg Queen consumes 0 units.

I have used up 95270 points.

They were almost completely depleted. Of course, Jiang Chen had already reminded Luo Feng to save some points, and he would definitely save some for himself as well.

10 points, 96670 points consumed, 3330 points remaining.

The items purchased were the relatively expensive martial arts close combat technique "Abyss Illusion" (valued at 3900 points) and a decent sword technique "Abyss Spear Technique" (valued at 5900 points).

The movement technique and the spear technique are a complete set. The movement technique is characterized by its speed and ghostly figure, while the spear technique is so powerful that it can lead people to fall into an abyss and certain death.

Buying three Life Fruits costs 150 points, and 30 units of Lanco Fruit costs 60 points.

Subsequently, he purchased the Soul Illusion Arcane Art "Eye of the Abyss".

"The Fallen Eye" is extremely expensive, while Hu Yanbo's "Soul Imprint," though mysterious and unique, is estimated by Babata to be worth around 10,000 points.

However, this "Fallen Eyes" is even more mysterious, and in terms of points alone, it is eight times that of "Soul Imprint"!

"The Fallen Eyes," once successfully cultivated, can lure people into depravity with a single glance, trapping them in an illusion from which they cannot escape.

This was also a soul technique that Jiang Chen was quite satisfied with, and he bought it without hesitation after seeing it.

"I hope that the complete set of Abyss Secrets formed by the Abyss Spear Technique and Abyss Illusion won't disappoint me."

"The Fallen Eyes requires even more emphasis on cultivation. Ordinary martial artists and mentalists would have to spend at least ten times, or even dozens of times, the price to purchase it!"

Jiang Chen received a discount when purchasing secret techniques, yet "Fallen Eyes" still cost him most of his points, which shows just how powerful this soul secret technique is.

"Master, you have exceptional talent, you will surely succeed in your cultivation very soon," Hill said in a cool voice.

"Haha, I hope so!" Jiang Chen nodded with a smile.

Then, Jiang Chen suddenly stood up, his eyes shining with fighting spirit: "It's time to start training!"

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, three years have almost passed.

The F-class spaceship, forged from the Guiyan Stone Mother, was also heading towards the "Virtual Universe Company's Universal Headquarters," located at the very center of the entire human territory of the universe.

Jiang Chen himself naturally stayed inside the spaceship every day, while his consciousness entered the virtual universe, desperately cultivating his combat techniques and soul techniques.

The Zerg Queen stayed inside Jiang Chen's world ring, constantly studying the fundamental laws of space.

If the Zerg Queen wants to break through to immortality, it is not enough to merely comprehend the lower-level fundamental laws of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. She also needs to achieve great success in the fundamental laws of space or time before she will have a chance to break through to immortality.

Therefore, as the ruler of the realm, the Zerg Queen naturally kept comprehending the fundamental laws of space, hoping to break through.

While cultivating the "Abyss Codex," Jiang Chen also continuously practiced the two great secret techniques, "The Fallen Eye."

Their strength is also increasing rapidly.

In the virtual universe, in the primordial zone, at Jiang Chen's manor training ground.

The completely sealed training ground was empty; Jiang Chen was the only one there.

Jiang Chen, dressed in black close-fitting clothes, held a fifth-tier top-grade Origin Force weapon, the Void Flame Spear, but had nothing else. For him, a long spear was enough.

"Conduct a simulated battle!" Jiang Chen shouted to the empty open space. "The opponent is set as Bolan, and his combat power is set as the strongest combat power shown in the peak of genius battles."

M

Within the colossal training ground, 50 kilometers long and 30 kilometers wide, a figure faintly materialized, transforming into a towering young man carrying a blood-red longsword—Bolan.

Berlan still carried a blood-red longsword on his back, and was dressed only in a simple white robe.

However, the simulated Berlan stood there motionless, his eyes lifeless.

"Begin!" Jiang Chen shouted.

boom!

The simulated Berlan's eyes lit up instantly, and then he used his agile and graceful movements to take two steps forward. His figure became elusive, as if he could not be found in space.

"kill!"

Berlan simply uttered the word.

Then, wielding a longsword, the nimble and ethereal sword was strangely invisible.

His figure shifted, occasionally forming illusory forms.

His marksmanship was fierce, his sword strikes were relentless and continuous, and he always aimed for the enemy's vitals.

After only a short while of fighting, Jiang Chen spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward.

"Boom!"

The training ground shifted, the previously simulated Bolan disappeared, and Jiang Chen's injuries were fully healed.

The "training grounds" specially equipped for core members have the effect of a killing space, which can completely simulate any opponent they want, but the simulation space of the "training grounds" is limited.

Of course, for Jiang Chen now, that's enough.

Although he was knocked away and seemed to be at a disadvantage, Jiang Chen was very happy.

"Yes, the progress is quite obvious."

Jiang Chen stood up with a smile, looking at the blank space.

"Even without using Soul Domain, I can now fight Berlan to a standstill in close combat. My progress in close combat is quite obvious."
