Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Primal Tenfold Talent

The abyss of purgatory is surrounded by an endless sea of ​​mist.

The pale blue and white mist enveloped an area spanning 720 billion kilometers.

In the sky, crimson sunlight shone, refracting through the mist to create a magnificent scene.

The environment inside the mist is harsh, carrying a corrosive aura that erodes the soul; only those at least at the Domain Lord level can survive.

"Teacher, the environment here is so eerie."

A young member of the Netherworld Clan exclaimed, "Even my senses are suppressed by 99%. I can only detect the situation within a range of 10,000 meters."

"Only in such extreme environments can all sorts of wonders be born."

The elder, the realm lord of the Netherworld Clan, smiled. "Two years ago, a swallowing phenomenon appeared in the abyss. This period is a safe time."

The phenomenon of the abyss swallowing everything is incredibly bizarre.

However, based on the patterns discovered by the Ember Clan over millions of years, the misty area is relatively safe for a short period of time after the abyss absorbs it.

The old man turned to look at the young man, "When the time comes, you go to the edge of the abyss to comprehend the laws of fire, while I go find some 'Crimson Flame Gold Essence'."

Crimson Flame Gold Essence is an F-grade metal born from the Abyss of Purgatory, and it is extremely precious.

Many realm lords have come to seek out the Crimson Flame Gold Essence in order to forge weapons.

Moreover, the manifestation of the fire elemental rules above the Abyss of Purgatory also attracted some powerful domain lords or world lords to come and comprehend and cultivate.

"Um?"

The old man, the realm lord, gazed at the sea of ​​mist, a look of delight on his face. "Good luck, we've encountered Crimson Flame Golden Essence as soon as we entered."

Not far ahead of him, a faint golden light shimmered in the mist.

However, just as he was about to step forward, something unexpected happened!

"Boom!"

The 'Sea of ​​Time-Space Mist' that had enveloped the entire Purgatory Abyss suddenly went berserk, and a tremendous gravitational force emanated from the abyss, sweeping across the heavens and earth.

The young man and the old man had no time to react and were swallowed up by the abyss.

......

Crimson Rock Continent, the misty layer of the Purgatory Abyss.

A dozen or so figures clad in crimson rock armor stood silently at the edge of the abyss.

They are all immortal beings of the Crimson Rock Clan.

A closer look at their positions reveals that these immortal beings are divided into three factions.

Beneath the abyss, there was not the pitch blackness one might imagine, but rather churning magma of extreme heat.

In the most turbulent core area of ​​the magma, a faint crimson glow can be seen.

"It is estimated that this 'Ultimate Flame Void Gold' will need about six more months to fully take shape."

Qian Mingyue stared at the crimson ball of light in the magma, his eyes revealing undisguised greed.

Ultimate Flame Void Gold is a G-grade metal, sufficient to forge a King-level main battle weapon.

It's worth noting that the palm-sized Void Gold weighs a whopping 3 tons.

The ball of light in front of them was half a person tall, and its weight was conservatively estimated to be over a hundred tons.

No wonder these immortal beings have gone completely mad.

"It will be soon. At that time, we'll see who uses the most skill."

Chi Yan Cang glanced disdainfully at the immortals huddled together in the distance.

In his eyes, most of these immortal beings were only at the initial stage of immortality, with only the two leaders possessing high-level immortality combat power, which he completely disregarded.

In Chi Yan Cang's heart, his only true opponent in this contest was Qian Ming Yue.

The Abyss of Purgatory is incredibly strange; for even immortal powerhouses, entering it poses a far greater danger than entering a Domain Lord or World Lord level realm.

If it weren't for the emergence of the Ultimate Flame Void Gold, very few immortal powerhouses would enter the Purgatory Mist Zone and put themselves in danger.

However, just as everyone was waiting, something unexpected happened.

"Boom!"

The "Sea of ​​Time-Space Mist" that had enveloped the entire Abyss of Purgatory suddenly went berserk without warning!

The once calm mist instantly transformed into ferocious waves.

At the same time, an unimaginable, immense gravitational force suddenly emanated from the bottom of the abyss, sweeping across the heavens and earth.

At the same time, all the Crimson Rock Clan members within the mist, even the immortal beings, were enveloped by this sudden gravitational pull and swallowed up by the abyss.

......

Upon entering the vortex of time and space, Meng Jingrong's vision went black.

When I opened my eyes again, I was already in a corridor made of crimson rock.

Golden lava flowed through the corridor, and even through the crystalline walls of the corridor, one could still feel the terrifying heat.

He looked down at himself; the skin on his arms had turned the pale white color unique to the Netherworld Clan, and his figure had also undergone subtle changes, completely transforming into the appearance of the Netherworld Clan.

Meng Jingrong took a deep breath, and countless hot breaths instantly poured into his body, as if he had swallowed a burning star, and his body instantly became scalding hot.

"It's so hot!"

This infernal abyss, as its name suggests, is known for its extreme heat!

The temperature has reached an unbelievable level, unmatched even by the environment inside a star.

Even beings as powerful as those on a cosmic scale can fight on a white dwarf.

Inside the Purgatory Corridor, even a weaker cosmic-level being would probably not survive for more than a few seconds.

The Abyss of Purgatory has 10081 underground corridors that are interconnected to form a vast labyrinth. Each corridor is 200 billion kilometers long, and exploring them all would undoubtedly be a colossal undertaking.

"So many passageways?"

At this moment, Meng Jingrong was standing at the junction of a corridor. In front of him, there were nearly a hundred passages extending from the densely packed openings, making it impossible to distinguish the directions.

Just as he was observing, more than 10,000 figures suddenly appeared in the 10081 corridors.

Most bizarrely, in each of the fifteen corridors, an incredibly terrifying fiery figure was slowly forming...

......

Above the abyss of purgatory stands a majestic black palace.

After seeing Meng Jingrong off, King Yunlan headed towards the top of the palace.

At the palace gate atop the palace, King Yunlan stood respectfully outside the gate.

A moment later, a voice filled with boundless majesty emanated from within the hall, "Yun Yao, come in."

King Yunlan took a deep breath and stepped into the main hall.

The main hall was vast and empty, without any servants or guards. In the center stood a colossal throne that stretched for thousands of kilometers, carved with countless ferocious beast patterns and exuding an ancient aura.

A breathtaking figure sat enthroned on the throne.

"Greetings, Lord of the Star Abyss." King Yunlan bowed respectfully.

"Meng Jingrong, has he gone in?" That gentle voice rang out again, as if it could see through everything.

"Yes, His Highness Jingrong just went in," Prince Yunlan replied respectfully.

"Um."

The gentle voice paused slightly before continuing, "When Meng Jingrong comes out, have him come to see me immediately."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey." King Yunlan bowed again.

"Yun Yao, you may leave."

"Yes."

King Yunlan responded and left the hall, then turned and departed.

On that enormous throne, a figure thousands of miles tall slowly rose and stepped down.

His entire body was as black as ink, clad in a black scale armor battle robe, and surrounded by terrifying flames.

He had three vertical lines on his forehead, and his eyes were deep and scarlet, his gaze piercing through the palace, as if he had taken in all the scenes in the abyss of purgatory.

"My path of the Fire Sky Beast God has been perfected."

The Star Abyss Demon Lord muttered to himself, "I am not far from creating the ultimate secret technique at the level of a cosmic overlord. It will take at least 100,000 years, or at most 100 million years, to succeed."

He had absolute confidence.

"After another 30,000 epochs, once the supreme treasure of the advanced realm, 'Prison Realm,' is fully formed, my strength will be comparable to Xinhen's."

"I just hope that little guy Meng Jingrong will absorb less 'Starry Sky Origin Crystals' so as not to delay the gestation of the Prison Realm."

The Star Abyss Demon Lord's eyes were deep, with a hint of longing in them. He murmured to himself, "It's almost here, almost here."

"Heart Scar, after all these years, don't you understand my feelings yet?"

He murmured softly, his figure flickered and merged into the void, completely disappearing from the hall, leaving only an empty palace and a majestic throne.

......

Inside the underground corridor.

With a thought, a silver-white disc appeared beneath Meng Jingrong's feet, covered with intricate patterns—it was the Xuan Yu Laughing Plate.

As the disc rotated, thousands of silver-white threads intertwined and flowed, instantly covering the entire body with a set of pure silver-white Netherworld Clan armor.

This is Xuan Yu Liu Pan's exclusive battle armor, which can change its form at will, and its defensive strength is comparable to the top-tier armor of the Marquis Immortal level.

Then, Meng Jingrong had the Moyun Battle Suit cover the outside of the armor. The vine patterns flowed slowly, exuding a savage and domineering aura that perfectly matched the aura of the Youjin Clan.

Even if it is an indigenous immortal, it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake in a short period of time.

"very good."

Meng Jingrong wore a satisfied smile.

According to the rules of the Abyss of Purgatory, any strong native who enters the underground corridor will receive a medal belonging to their tribe.

To leave the corridor, a Domain Lord level official needs to collect 10 medals, while a World Lord level official needs 100 medals.

Once you've collected enough medals, head to the end of the corridor to activate the return teleport and leave successfully.

As a domain lord genius participating in the cultivation mission, one needs 1000 medals to go to the Crimson Rock Continent or the Netherworld Continent.

Before him lay countless corridors crisscrossing like a maze. Without hesitation, Meng Jingrong randomly chose one.

"Master, 3600 kilometers ahead in the passage, there is a ninth-level Crimson Rock Clan native at the Domain Lord level, who is moving towards you."

The lark's voice echoed in Meng Jingrong's mind.

"Domain Lord level?" Meng Jingrong murmured.

According to the description of the Abyss of Purgatory, the natives who enter the underground corridor are mainly at the level of World Lords, with Domain Lords making up a minority, and Immortals being extremely rare.

"However, compared to other geniuses, my advantages are much greater."

Before heading to the Abyss of Purgatory, he spent 1400 million points to purchase an Immortal-level detection instrument.

Members of the four major secret realms at the domain lord level can exchange Primal Units for Virtual Universe Company points at a 1:1 ratio.

As for where these points came from, they were naturally contributed by Feng Yuhou.

At this moment, Meng Jingrong was unaware that the once glorious Marquis Feng Yu had been imprisoned in an interstellar prison.

The normal detection range of the detection instrument can reach a radius of 10 billion kilometers.

However, due to the special geographical environment, the detection range of the Purgatory Abyss has been greatly reduced, leaving only a radius of 100 million kilometers.

Even so, it was enough for Meng Jingrong to control the entire situation in the complex corridors and occupy an absolute God's-eye view.

"He is rapidly approaching, 2670 kilometers... 1950 kilometers... 1300 kilometers..." Lark reported.

"I saw him, and he really is ugly." Meng Jingrong calmly looked into the distance.
