Zerg Lord of the Devouring Stars

Holding oval-shaped crystals of thousand-year-old willow heartwood and a ten-thousand-year-old willow heartwood in my hand, they exuded a faint green hue. In particular, the faint golden light emanating from the ten-thousand-year-old willow heartwood was truly breathtaking.

I finally got my hands on the Willow Heart, the spirit of plants and trees!

Jiang Chen was extremely excited and sat cross-legged next to the willow trees. This was the territory of these terrifying willow tree spirits, and there would be no other monsters here.

Jiang Chen held a thousand-year-old willow heartwood in his hand.

"After consuming the heartwood of a thousand-year-old willow tree, firstly, it can greatly increase cell activity, multiplying the body's recovery speed; secondly, it can also lead to a leap in physical fitness."

Improving physical fitness is something that can be achieved with a single dose of dragon blood, but the effects of this thousand-year-old willow heart are even more exaggerated than those of dragon blood, and the process is painless and very comfortable.

Cell activity is very important. For example, if the internal organs are severely injured and vomit blood, the internal organs may be completely healed in half a minute. The stronger the cell activity, the faster the recovery.

Jiang Chen also wanted to take the Ten Thousand Year Willow Heart directly, but he still had some concerns.

"This ten-thousand-year-old willow heartwood, if consumed, may cause it to explode directly, or it may cause a surge in strength. Danger and opportunity coexist."

"However, I am already a high-level mentalist and my physical fitness is at the level of a mid-level war god. There is no need to gamble on that danger. I can just take the safer Thousand-Year Willow Heart directly."

Jiang Chen immediately decided to take one himself and exchange the rest for other pills.

Oh, right, we should definitely leave one for Luo Feng too; we can't let ourselves get all the benefits.

The days in the elite training camp were pretty good, with all sorts of resources available. Now it's time to give Hong a little something in return!

Jiang Chen had long ago decided that after his body became a high-level war god and his mental power reached the peak of a high-level war god mental master, he would quickly break through to the planetary level.

At that time, these low-level plant spirits will be unnecessary. Once you reach the planetary level, you will have more resources and more opportunities waiting for you.

Luo Feng is my good brother, and I can't be greedy and take his opportunity and forget about him.

Although they hadn't met yet, Hong had always been associated with the Limitless Martial Arts School, and his time in the elite training camp had allowed him to reach the God of War level at lightning speed.

People should be "selfish" and know how to consider their own interests and think about their own needs.

People should also know how to be grateful and have a grateful heart, otherwise they are just heartless trash!

……

A crystal-clear, egg-shaped object floated in front of Jiang Chen.

The heartwood of a thousand-year-old willow tree can only have its internal liquid consumed; the outer crystalline shell must not be eaten.

call out

An S-class flying needle slashed past Jiang Chen and pierced the surface of the green egg-shaped crystal, breaking through its tough outer shell.

Slippery...

The green essence liquid inside flowed slowly out of the crystal, but this vibrant green liquid was controlled by Jiang Chen's mental power and suspended in front of him.

"Mental power is convenient."

Jiang Chen opened his mouth, and the green liquid flew directly into his mouth and was swallowed.

Cool and refreshing.

This feeling that soothes the soul is simply irresistible.

As expected, taking thousand-year-old willow heartwood was not as painful as taking dragon blood.

Improving one's strength without experiencing pain—that's probably what every martial artist desires.

Jiang Chen could see with the naked eye that his skin was vibrating rapidly with a small amplitude, and in this vibration, wisps of grayish-black substance seeped out from his skin pores.

Feels refreshed and cool all over.

It felt as if a pair of soft little hands were massaging every part of my body.

The essence contained in the heartwood of the thousand-year-old willow tree, its surging vitality, instantly permeated every part of Jiang Chen's body. This vibrant energy caused astonishing changes in the cells of Jiang Chen's bones, bones, and muscles.

Countless cells are undergoing astonishing changes, and his genes are developing and improving rapidly, with cell activity increasing at an astonishing pace.

At the same time, a surging mist began to be released in the mind, like a dam bursting, rushing to all sides of the body, and the skin, blood, bones, internal organs, etc., were all changing more rapidly.

Jiang Chen's physical abilities have improved dramatically!

Jiang Chen's physical abilities progressed from the baseline of a mid-level War God to the average level of a mid-level War God, then to the peak level of a mid-level War God, then to the initial level of a high-level War God, and finally to the average level of a high-level War God...

"The sea of ​​consciousness has also changed!"

Jiang Chen's consciousness was immersed in his sea of ​​consciousness, which resembled a vast lake, just like his previous status as a high-level war god-level mental master.

And now-

In the endless sea of ​​consciousness, mist swirled and spread without end, and the surging liquid flow resembled a vast ocean!

After half an hour.

Jiang Chen opened his eyes again, his gaze filled with a sharp light that made people afraid to give him directions; this was a manifestation of his surging spiritual power being released outwards.

His physical abilities have improved to the upper-middle level of high-level war gods, and his mental power has been enhanced once again. It seems that as long as he breaks through this barrier, he can become a planetary mental master!

"boom!"

Jiang Chen could easily create a sonic boom with a casual punch, his body was already close to the limit of an apprentice.

"Very good, very good!" Jiang Chen laughed heartily.

His body is that of a high-level war god, and his mental power is that of a peak high-level war god mental master. It seems that he is only a hair's breadth away from breaking through to the planetary level mental master.

Of course, this "slight" time could be two or three months, or it could be two or three years.

The leap from apprentice level to planetary level represents a leap in physical, genetic, mental, and psychic abilities.

"It is a point of consensus among martial artists that a mentalist at the peak of the God of War realm is an invincible existence among the God of War realm."

"My physical fitness and mental strength have almost reached their limit. It's time to consider entering the planetary level."

"However, now..."

Jiang Chen smiled slightly and began pressing the internal phone of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy.

"beep……"

"Hello," a deep voice came through.

"Hello, I'm Jiang Chen from the Elite Training Camp," Jiang Chen said.

"What is it?" a deep voice asked.

Jiang Chenlian reported: "Here's what happened. I discovered a large number of plant spirits on a mysterious island in Australia. Among them are nine willow-like plant spirits, one of which has a diameter of over three meters."

"I have obtained the spirits of these nine willow trees, but the others feel too dangerous, so I dare not touch them."

"The spirit of plants and trees?" The deep voice let out a slight surprise, then said, "Very good, you have discovered such a treasure land. According to the internal distribution rules of my Limitless Martial Arts Academy, the person who discovers the treasure land and reports back will receive 10% of the harvest once it is confirmed. Those who go to fight and mine will receive 30% of the harvest based on their labor. The remaining 60% will belong to the entire academy."

Jiang Chen nodded. This was the rule of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy. If you disagreed, you could risk your life to collect it yourself, though whether you would live or die was uncertain.

"I discovered and collected the plant spirits of these nine willow trees myself, which means I have 40%. There are still a lot of plant spirits left, which I can get without collecting them myself. I can get 10% of the share. If I'm generous, I might even get 15%..." Jiang Chen estimated in his mind. At least he wouldn't have to work so hard or risk his life.

After all, there is a powerful Moyun Vine on this misty island.

However, Jiang Chen did not intend to accept it. This Moyun Vine was too low-level, not as good as the one Babata gave to Luo Feng. He would rather buy one himself later, cultivate it anew, and lay a better foundation.

……

After Jiang Chen's report, a fighter jet took off again from the headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy.

High in the dark night sky, a crimson triangular fighter jet was flying at an incredible speed, leaving behind only a series of sonic booms.

Inside the purplish-red triangular fighter jet.

There were two people in the fighter jet, both of whom were passengers.

One of them was very handsome, with an elegant air about him, but his eyes were calm and deep. He was none other than Inspector Liu, whom Jiang Chen had met before.

The other person's appearance was obscured; he wore a gold mask and combat uniform.

He is "Iceberg," one of the three personal guards under Master Hong.

The crimson fighter jet, carrying two unparalleled experts, sped toward the Australian continent at an astonishing speed.

"There are two items I definitely want to redeem this time."

Intelligent fighter jets capable of carrying people, and the Black God suit.

Let's see how things go for the rest.

……

boom!

The air suddenly trembled, and a streak of purplish-red light stopped above Jiang Chen in the blink of an eye; it was a purplish-red triangular fighter jet.

"A Qiankun-class intelligent fighter jet, Liuhe Patrolman." Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes, watching the two figures fly out of the cabin after the hatch opened.

"Jiang Chen, haha, I didn't expect to meet you so soon," Inspector Liu said with a smile.

The iceberg wore a mask and remained silent, simply observing its surroundings.

"Greetings, Inspectors." Jiang Chen said respectfully.

"What's the situation?" Inspector Liu asked.

Jiang Chen said, "Inspector, that HR Alliance member who surpasses the God of War—there are nine Willow Hearts in total, one of which is a ten-thousand-year-old Willow Heart, and I have obtained them all."

"I had previously consumed a thousand-year-old willow heart, and the rest are in my backpack."

"Very good." Inspector Liu nodded with a smile.

"So, aren't you going to make a move?" Inspector Liu asked with a smile, looking at the masked man beside him.

"I won't make a move, you do it." The masked man shook his head.

Jiang Chen was stunned. This wouldn't do. Liu He's abilities were different from the iceberg's. He couldn't detect it immediately. If he let Liu He collect it slowly, he might disturb the Moyun Vine in advance, and then he would get much less of the plant spirits.

Jiang Chen immediately said, half-jokingly, "Two inspectors, there is a terrifying purple vine on this island. The vine's strength is such that even I, a high-level War God Spiritualist, am no match for it."

"What?" Inspector Liu was taken aback, staring at Jiang Chen. "How old are you? A high-level War God Spiritual Master?"

"I'm 18, almost 19," Jiang Chen said obediently.

Inspector Liu gasped.

"A single long vine, and even you, a high-level War God Spirit Master, cannot defeat it?" the masked man asked icily.

"Yes, I only saw it from afar and didn't dare to get close." Jiang Chen nodded. If they said they didn't encounter it, he could say that it was probably too far away and there was fog, so they mistook it for something else.

"Alright, it's up to you now." Inspector Liu looked helplessly at the iceberg beside him.

"Hmm." The man in the golden mask nodded slightly.

call!

He swiftly flew to a distance, hovering above the misty island. Then, the mysterious golden-masked man opened his arms and closed his eyes. An invisible, special power emanated from him, spreading outwards in all directions, much like a radar emitting various detection waves.

Only about five or six seconds passed.

Whoosh! Like a bolt of lightning, the mysterious man in the golden mask flew directly into the interior of the misty island.

As expected, just like in the original story, the iceberg was extremely efficient in collecting, gathering nearly a hundred plant spirits in a short time.

Just then, a dark purple vine, at least twenty centimeters in diameter, shot through the air, and Iceberg fled in a disheveled state, shouting, "Run!"

The importance of fighter jets became apparent at this moment. A long, dark purple vine, emerging from the distant mist, resembled a giant, writhing python, coiling around the man wearing a golden mask who was fleeing in panic.

Without saying a word, Jiang Chen boarded the fighter jet, as did Inspector Liu. Finally, as more and more long vines appeared, Iceberg activated "Original Energy Forbidden Move" and returned to the fighter jet.

"Without planetary-level strength, no, strength stronger than a typical planetary-level, this Cloud-Piercing Vine is impossible to subdue. We simply can't defeat it." Jiang Chen sighed, shook his head, and withdrew his gaze.

The fighter jet quickly broke away and flew into the distance, out of the vine's attack range.

"There is an incredible spirit of plants and trees on the entire Fog Island." Inside the fighter jet, the Iceberg Guard said calmly, "That is the greatest treasure. When I was fleeing just now, I sent the battle scene to the Master. The Master should personally handle this matter."

With the museum owner Hong taking charge, the matter of Kirishima has temporarily come to an end.

The Moyun Vine will also end up in the hands of the museum owner, Hong, which can be considered a little surprise from Jiang Chen to Hong.

The crimson triangular fighter jet flew towards Hongning Base City, the headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy, located outside the Australian continent.
