Zerg Lord of the Devouring Stars

The crystal room collapsed, turning into fragments that then transformed into beams of dreamlike light, eventually merging into the walls surrounding the passageway.

"xxxxxxxx..." The electronic voice sounded again in the maze.

"Finally, I've mastered the 'Basic 312 Styles,' and I'm finally out."

Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief and stood on the ground.

He then glanced at the tactical watch on his wrist, and a line of text appeared on the screen.

"Congratulations, you have successfully passed the death mission!"

"Please follow the path ahead and keep going until you meet me to receive your reward for successfully completing the assessment."

As the electronic sound disappeared, the passage around Jiang Chen began to writhe, forming a new passage at its end, where a light resembling that of a crystal room flickered.

Whoosh! Jiang Chen stepped onto the Sky Shuttle and flew swiftly along the passage. After passing through the deep passage, he soon arrived at the hall shrouded in colorful light.

Suddenly, a large amount of colorful light converged, quickly forming a blurry, tall human figure, which then solidified into a bald crystal man.

The bald crystal man glanced at the communication watch, and instantly a beam of light shot into the watch from the palace, beginning to delete a large amount of translated information.

"Don't be nervous," came the bald man with crystal hair, speaking in Chinese that Jiang Chen could understand.

"Don't be surprised, the development of humanity on this planet has been under my surveillance. Of course I understand your writing and language," the bald crystal man smiled. "And, to make it more acceptable to you, I'm speaking to you in human form."

Jiang Chen looked somewhat surprised and nervous, and continued to listen quietly.

The bald crystal man spoke, "Now, I will reward you for successfully completing the assessment task."

With a wave of his hand, the bald crystal man sent several items flying over from the depths of the palace, carried by a beam of colorful light. There were four items in total.

Black gloves, silver arm guards, a book shimmering with starlight, and a hexagonal metal plaque.

"This first piece is what you call the Black God Set."

"The second item, this silver arm guard, is an auxiliary optical computer."

"The third item is the attack technique of the Master, 'Escape from Heaven'."

"The fourth item is the token for entering Meteorite Star."

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up as he looked at these items, which were also the purpose of his visit.

It's not easy to obtain these things on Earth.

The bald crystal man stroked the last hexagonal metal plaque and sighed, "I did this according to the master's program, but unfortunately, even if you obtain the Meteorite Star Token, it won't allow you to enter Meteorite Star."

Jiang Chen remained silent. Of course, Meteorite Star was gone, its master Hu Yanbo was dead, and all the immortals under his command were dead, leaving only Babata, who existed in an intelligent form.

"The Meteorite Token is useless now; you already know the purpose of this Black God Set."

The bald crystal man continued his introduction.

"And this auxiliary quantum computer is very important to every genetic warrior and mentalist," the bald crystal man said. "In addition to having all the functions of your communication watch, it also has many other functions, the most important of which is that it can measure the strength of the target."

The silver arm guard flew towards Jiang Chen, and at the instruction of the bald crystal man, Jiang Chen put on the silver arm guard.

Jiang Chen put on the silver arm guards, and as a wisp of mental energy seeped into them, the silver arm guards quickly conformed to his skin. Moreover, a large number of pictures and characters appeared on the surface of the silver arm guards, all of which were in Chinese.

Jiang Chen curiously played with the auxiliary computer. With the help of the light-transmitting water-like light, he saw the so-called button on the lower left side, with some patterns on the edge outlining the button.

He pressed the button on the lower left side slightly and pointed the auxiliary computer at himself. Instantly, text appeared on the surface of the auxiliary computer: "Combat Power: Mental Power (Apprentice Level 9) Genetic Energy (Apprentice Level 9)"

"Ninth level of apprenticeship," Jiang Chen muttered to himself.

He is currently at the ninth level of apprenticeship, but once he gets out, he will be able to break through to the planetary level.

The bald crystal man explained, "In the vast and infinite universe, countless life forms have been born. The most numerous of these life forms are all at the 'apprentice level' in terms of strength."

"The so-called apprentice level means being an ordinary person who is not mainstream."

"The apprentice level is divided into nine ranks, with rank one being the lowest and rank nine being the highest."

"What you martial artists call warriors, generals, and gods of war are just apprentices."

"Above the apprentice level is the planetary level. Only those who reach the planetary level are qualified to be called 'gene warriors' or 'mental mind masters'."

"On your Earth, the only beings who surpass the God of War are planetary-level warriors!" the bald crystal man said.

"Among them, your strongest member, 'Hong,' is at the sixth level of the Planetary Realm, while 'Thor' is at the seventh level. The two of them are much stronger than the others."

The bald crystal man paused for a moment, then looked at Jiang Chen again, "Your mental power level is Apprentice Level 9, your amplitude is 22 times, and your genetic energy is Apprentice Level 9, with an amplitude of 4.5 times."

During his two-month vacation and one-month elite training camp, Jiang Chen practiced continuously and finally broke through another level in the World Destroyer Gun Technique, increasing his power from 3.6 times to 4.5 times, which is equivalent to a 4.5-fold increase in the amplitude of his genetic energy.

"Apprentice level nine, amplitude 22 times, equivalent to a little over five times the amplitude of a planetary level one warrior," the bald crystal man said with a smile. "Generally, a planetary level one warrior can unleash three or four times their normal power. So your current combat strength should be slightly stronger than that of a typical planetary level one warrior."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly. This was even without the "Escape to Heaven" manual. If he practiced this technique and used the Escape to Heaven Shuttle, his strength would definitely crush ordinary first-level planetary cultivators.

The bald crystal man said, "Moreover, you possess the Sky-Escape Shuttle, and by combining it with this attack technique, 'Sky-Escape,' you can truly unleash the full potential of the Sky-Escape Shuttle."

"How strong it will become depends on how well you control it."

"Your talent is exceptional, with a brain capacity of 30. Your breakthrough potential is also higher than average; you need to master 22 hidden weapons to have a chance of breaking through," the bald crystal man said. "Now you could break through at any time. I've left the key to breaking through in the auxiliary quantum brain; go back and study it carefully."

"Yes." Jiang Chen was excited. Once he returned and reported that he was safe, he could prepare for his breakthrough.

Being a planetary-level martial artist or a mentalist is the first step on the path of martial arts for everyone in the universe.

"Planetary-level warriors wander the universe, barely managing to make ends meet," the bald crystal man said. "Above the planetary level is the constant level. And above the constant level is the cosmic level."

"So you can't be arrogant. There are many powerful beings in the universe. Even 'Hong' on Earth is much stronger than you. He has already established his own domain in terms of realm. It can be said that he is invincible within the planetary level."

"Planetary level is enough to make a living, constellation level is considered a formidable figure. Cosmic level is an extraordinary person. And above cosmic level, those are the ones that even many nations in the universe have to respect." The bald crystal man looked at Jiang Chen in front of him.

"Keep trying, Jiang Chen."

"With your talent, you definitely have a chance at the Hengxing level, and if you encounter a renowned teacher or some special opportunities, there's also a slight possibility of reaching the cosmic level," the bald crystal man encouraged.

After saying that, the bald crystal man vanished, turning into countless streams of light. "The passage has been opened. You can leave and go home now."

The palace walls began to writhe, forming a passage that led to a radiant mirror.

"I'm home." Jiang Chen was excited. It had been more than three months, and his parents, younger brother and sister must have been very worried.

……

Ancient Civilization Relic No. 9, located in the underground base.

This base was built jointly by various forces on Earth, and its many members also come from different factions.

Click click...

Nearly a hundred members in the entire base hall turned to look at the door, the passageway leading to the No. 9 ancient civilization ruins.

"No way, it's been over three months, and there's still no one who hasn't come out?"

"Who is it?"

"Which war god is so powerful! It took more than three months to emerge?"

More than three months ago, seven warriors entered the ruins of an ancient civilization. Four of them survived, two succeeded, two failed and were seriously injured, and the remaining three never came out. Everyone thought they were dead.

"drop!"

A beam of light swept across the filthy Jiang Chen.

"Welcome back, War God Jiang Chen."

The underground base control system emitted an electronic broadcast.
