Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Primal Tenfold Talent

Inside the vast and secluded passageway.

The enormous infernal demon roared and gradually disappeared into the distance after discovering that its target had left the corridor.

"We're finally safe."

Panshan took a deep breath, his eyes filled with exhaustion and relief.

However, in the next instant, he keenly sensed an unusual, scorching aura behind him.

Panshan's heart tightened, and he turned around abruptly.

He saw an immortal being of the Crimson Rock Clan looking at him with a smile.

"An extraterrestrial race?"

A playful smile played on Qian Mingyue's lips as he carefully examined Pan Shan. "He's disguised quite well as a member of the Youjin Clan. I almost couldn't tell the difference."

As a powerful being among the immortals, Qian Mingyue knows more secrets of the Abyss of Purgatory.

When an immortal being is sucked into the abyss, an equal number of Purgatory Overlords will be born in the underground corridor.

These purgatory overlords will relentlessly hunt down any native immortals who stray into this place.

Even with his strength, he was no match for the Lord of Purgatory.

All he could do was escape the underground passage as quickly as possible.

One of the conditions for escaping is to obtain the Purgatory Medal carried by the extraterrestrial trial participants.

The activation condition for the Purgatory Medal is to kill all the extraterrestrial races in the underground corridor.

Only in this way can the medal activate the teleportation function.

......

Inside the deep, dark underground corridor, the rock walls crisscross.

Meng Jingrong flew past like a bolt of lightning.

"This is so unlucky," Meng Jingrong sighed softly.

He has been in the abyss of purgatory for three whole years.

In the past three years, Meng Jingrong has explored 300 corridors, but still has not found any trace of the "Purgatory Demon".

As usual, Meng Jingrong continued forward.

Half an hour later.

"Master, a purgatory demon has been spotted 100 million kilometers ahead," the lark's voice suddenly rang out.

"A demon from hell?" Meng Jingrong's eyes lit up.

"However, he is hunting down a Shadow Elf native," Lark added.

"Let's go take a look."

"I hope my guess is correct..."

Meng Jingrong pondered to himself as he flew.

After a while.

After passing through a somewhat narrow passage, Meng Jingrong was confronted with a huge fiery figure.

Ahead of it, a ninth-level female Realm Lord of the Netherworld Clan was fleeing in a sorry state.

"Little guy, run!"

Seeing Meng Jingrong flying over foolishly, the Youjin clan woman's face flashed with a struggle, but she then turned around and stood in front of Meng Jingrong.

"Hurry up and leave!"

The woman from the Ghost Clan drew her longsword, a flame-shaped teardrop mark appearing between her brows as she stared intently at the Infernal Demon not far away.

"What's this? A hero rescuing a damsel in distress?"

Gazing at the graceful figure before him, Meng Jingrong's lips curled into a slight smile.

"roar!"

The infernal demon roared in fury, its enormous hand, wreathed in scorching flames, slamming down on the two "ants" on the ground!

The Ghost Clan woman gritted her teeth, preparing to take the attack of the Infernal Demon head-on, when a world-destroying power erupted from behind her.

"Star River Strategy, First Form—Nebula Piercing the Sun!"

A nebula-like rainbow of light suddenly erupted, slamming headlong into the giant hand of the infernal demon.

"Buzz—"

A tremendous crash resounded, and a terrifying energy shockwave spread out like a tsunami, with debris raining down.

Caught off guard, the Ghost Clan woman was thrown hundreds of kilometers by the shockwave and crashed heavily into the rock wall.

When Youqi opened her eyes again, she was stunned.

The incredibly terrifying demon of purgatory was now in a state of utter misery.

The massive body was pierced through by the light rainbow, and blood like magma dripped continuously from the wound. Even the raging flames burning around it had dimmed considerably.

"The Infernal Demon is too powerful!"

Meng Jingrong sighed softly, "I never thought that even my full-force attack wouldn't kill it!"

A look of fear flashed in the infernal demon's crimson eyes. It turned abruptly and strode away, fleeing madly into the depths of darkness.

"Trying to leave?"

Meng Jingrong leaped forward.

The spear in his hand glowed with a light purple and dark gold intertwined, like a reversed galaxy, instantly engulfing the fleeing demons of purgatory!

After being equipped with the Ninth-Order World Lord-level Cloud-Piercing Battle Armor, although he could not unleash the full power of the 216 vines, even with only a portion of their power, he was several times stronger than a normal Ninth-Order World Lord-level martial artist.

With the added boost from the top-tier secret technique "Star River Strategy," his attack power was now almost at the threshold of the Marquis level, and the Purgatory Demon naturally couldn't withstand it.

As the light faded, Meng Jingrong, holding a fiery red crystal core in his hand, slowly flew past You Qi.

"Next time you encounter this situation, don't try to be brave."

Looking at the Youjin Clan woman who stood there dumbfounded, Meng Jingrong smiled slightly.

Youqi then came to her senses, looked at the handsome figure in the air, and subconsciously asked, "What's your name?"

"Meng Jingrong".

The clear voice echoed slowly through the deep underground corridor as the figure receded into the distance, eventually dissipating into the darkness.

"Meng Jingrong?"

Yuqi murmured softly, "Why have I never heard of this name among my tribe?"

"His strength is so terrifying; he must be a top genius at the ninth level of the World Lord realm. He must have deliberately concealed his aura and disguised himself as a Domain Lord..."

"Never mind, when we get back, we'll have Grandpa investigate thoroughly. We'll find him eventually."

Youqi blushed and thought to herself.

......

In the dimly lit underground corridor.

Meng Jingrong held the fiery red crystal core in his hand and flew leisurely.

He was not a bloodthirsty person, so naturally he would not kill indiscriminately.

The female realm lord of the Youjin clan mistakenly believed that he was one of her own kind, which is why she came to his rescue.

But Meng Jingrong kept this kindness in his heart.

As long as the other party has no malicious intent, he will naturally not make things difficult for them.

In the past three years, even if he only retaliates against enemies who take the initiative, Meng Jingrong has accumulated more than a thousand Red Rock Medals and Ghost Ash Medals.

"What secrets are hidden within this crystal core?"

Meng Jingrong frowned slightly as he examined the crystal core in his hand repeatedly.

The crystal core of this infernal demon bears a striking resemblance to the "Vulcan Source Crystal" he had seen in the treasure vault of the Virtual Universe Company.

The Vulcan Source Crystal is the most commonly used and cost-effective large-scale destructive treasure in the universe, with power covering all levels from Immortal Military Lords to the limit of Kings.

"This is very likely one of the core materials for making the Vulcan Source Crystal."

Meng Jingrong secretly guessed, "With the terrifying energy contained in this crystal core, if it were refined into a Fire God Source Crystal, its power would be enough to threaten even a weaker Marquis-level expert."

"However, this is not something I should be considering."

Meng Jingrong frowned even more deeply.

"Even with the strength of a Domain Lord-level super genius, relying on the assistance of plant life, he could at most barely kill the Infernal Demon."

"While the Virtual Universe Company assigns us cultivation missions, more importantly... it gives us opportunities for rapid advancement!"

"This crystal core is definitely related to the true secret of the Abyss of Purgatory."

Meng Jingrong was absolutely determined, "It's just that I haven't yet found the connection between the crystal core and the special opportunity."

"Perhaps, this crystal core itself is the key to unlocking the secret?"

"Now, what I should do is find out some special areas in the underground corridors."

Meng Jingrong's eyes lit up. "Yes, that's it!"

"If we're talking about who knows the Abyss of Purgatory the most, it's definitely the natives."

"They've lived here for countless eons, and their records of the underground corridors are infinitely more comprehensive than my foolish search on my own!"

Meng Jingrong continued to ponder, becoming more and more certain, and an excited look appeared on his face.

"Master, 96 kilometers ahead of you, there is a Crimson Rock Clan Realm Lord, whose strength is at the 7th level of Realm Lord." Yun Que's voice rang in Meng Jingrong's mind.

"Um?"

Meng Jingrong's eyes lit up. "Perfect, let's start with you!"

......

Yunli was carefully traversing the vast and deep underground corridor.

Those huge rocky jungles concealed his tracks.

In the distance, a figure from the Netherworld Clan could be seen slowly flying in from mid-air.

"Ninth-tier Domain Lord? Not bad!"

A cruel smile crept across Yun Li's lips. "How did this silly little thing manage to survive until now?"

Without the slightest hesitation, the power of his inner world erupted, instantly enveloping the Youjin Clan youth in mid-air.

The little guy, who was at the Domain Lord level, seemed unable to withstand the pressure and wobbled as he fell from mid-air.

"Ha ha!"

Yun Li laughed loudly and soared into the sky, instantly appearing in front of the Youjin Clan youth.

Meng Jingrong looked at Yun Li opposite him, a faint smile playing on his lips. "You want to kill me, don't you?"

"Those bastards of the Ghost Clan deserve to die!"

Yun Li had a vague feeling that something was wrong, and he looked around warily.

"No need to look, there's no one else here."

Meng Jingrong smiled faintly, "Soul Search!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the soul will of the King-level instantly transformed into an invisible hand, piercing straight into Yun Li's sea of ​​consciousness.

Yun Li had no time to react before his consciousness was completely enveloped by a vast and boundless soul power.

All his memories, from when he first came into contact with cultivation as a child, to his gradual growth, to joining the Crimson Rock Temple, and even to his access to some of the secrets of the underground corridor... all flowed before Meng Jingrong's eyes like a movie.

"He's not inherently bad, he's just blinded by the hatred between his tribe."

Meng Jingrong nodded slightly; he had obtained the information he wanted.

According to Yunli's memories, there are seven special areas in the underground corridor, which are very likely related to special opportunities in the Purgatory Abyss.

"I'll spare your life, but don't be so blind next time."

Meng Jingrong smiled slightly, erased part of Yun Li's memory, and then disappeared from the spot in a flash.

After a while.

Yun Li opened his eyes blankly, scratched his head, and said, "Just now... I fell asleep?"

......

Two years later.

Meng Jingrong walked through a deep underground corridor.

Over the past two years, he has explored five "special regions" but still has not been able to access the core secrets of the Abyss of Purgatory.

During his search, he encountered the demons of purgatory once again.

This also resulted in Meng Jingrong having another red crystal core in his world ring.

"The sixth special area should be just ahead."

Meng Jingrong's flight speed is extremely fast; even in this winding, secluded corridor, his flight speed can reach 200,000 kilometers per second.
