Devour: Emperor Yan

In the grass.

Lin Kun and the others sat cross-legged to rest, also taking stock of their gains over the past nine days.

"A total of approximately 30 cubic meters of cosmic crystals were mined, which is over one trillion Qianwu coins!"

When this terrifying number was revealed, the smiles on their faces were impossible to suppress.

More than one trillion Qianwu coins!

This is an astronomical figure for them at present.

Luo Feng spent a total of 21 billion Qianwu coins to apply to become the Lord of Earth.

In the past few days, they've essentially dug up hundreds of "Earths"!

This amount of money could buy a large group of cosmic-level slaves, enough to form a small army.

Unlike the original story, in the original story, Babata secretly kept a large portion of the cosmic crystals from the report.

Now, Babata doesn't have the opportunity to do this, because it was Lin Kun who did the digging.

Therefore, whatever the amount is, is the amount.

Of the more than one trillion Qianwu coins, Lin Kun owns 40%. That's a calculation.

More than 4000 billion Qianwu coins!

hiss~

Lin Kun couldn't help but gasp.

That's a terrifying number. It's another huge windfall for him, enough for him to spend lavishly until the Genius Battle ends.

Discovering a new world is indeed a very satisfying thing.

The four brothers were all smiling broadly, in high spirits.

It wasn't until a moment later that he slowly composed himself.

They had also rested enough.

"Let's go!" Lin Kun was the first to stand up.

Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~

In the darkness, the six-person team transformed into six streams of light, flying towards the center of the realm within a realm.

That place is directly below the enormous sphere of light that hangs high in the distant sky during the day.

......

When traveling by flying within a realm, one is less likely to encounter ferocious beasts blocking the way or attacking them, so there is no need to frequently take detours.

However, this does not mean there is no danger; on the contrary, it is even more insane.

Because this place is home to many adventurer teams.

Nowadays, adventurer teams within and outside the realms are making a fortune simply by mining cosmic crystals, and their net worth is quite substantial.

Therefore, as we get closer to the core area...

In just six days, Lin Kun's team encountered more than twenty ambushes!

The reason is that their six-person team appears to be relatively weak on the surface, making them a typical "easy target".

Digging for cosmic crystals is no match for looting.

This is the idea of ​​many adventure teams.

Therefore, they all ultimately paid a heavy price for this idea.

On the first day, Lin Kun's team was ambushed.

He was attacked three times on the second day.

It happened twice on the third day.

It happened four times on the fourth day.

It happened six times on the fifth day.

He was attacked eight times on the sixth day.

The closer you get to the core area, the more adventurers you'll encounter, and the higher the probability of being ambushed.

With Babata's detection instruments, a 20-kilometer radius area can be explored and monitored.

If they discover a large group of adventurers lying in ambush, they will choose to avoid them or run away in advance.

And if they encounter an ambush with a relatively small number of people... as long as the number is less than a hundred, Lin Kun and his men will charge straight in.

There's no need to be polite to these people.

They believed that murder and robbery were quick ways to make money, and coincidentally, Lin Kun and his group thought the same thing.

So during those few days of travel, Lin Kun and his companions practically went on a killing spree.

Of course, Lin Kun was the main force behind the operation.

Luo Feng and his two companions were only at the first or second level of the Hengxing realm, so they couldn't offer much help. Ao Gu and Tie Nanhe also had to spare some attention to protect them, so their contribution was also limited.

Lin Kun, almost single-handedly wielding a sword, went on a killing spree in just six days.

In those six short days, he killed far more people than he had in his entire life.

His entire body was faintly emanating an astonishing aura of menace.

This also allowed Luo Feng and his companions to truly witness Lin Kun's strength. No matter who the adventurer was, they could not withstand his seemingly casual and effortless slash.

The scene was like a massacre.

As a result, Luo Feng and the others truly understood the enormous gap between an ordinary ninth-level Hengxing cultivator and a truly genius ninth-level Hengxing cultivator.

They were like ants.

Weak, so incredibly weak!

Even if dozens or hundreds came, they would be easily slaughtered by Lin Kun in a short time.

How many people?

It was meaningless in the face of the dozens, nearly a hundred, spatial illusions that Lin Kun unleashed at full power.

Nearly an instant kill!

The result of this frenzied killing was that their squad made a fortune once again.

A mountain of loot was piled up, not enough to fit in several spatial rings, and its total value exceeded the value of the cosmic crystals they had painstakingly mined over the past few days!

That is more than one trillion Qianwu coins!

In terms of distribution, since Lin Kun had put in a lot of effort, he took 70% of the spoils, which was worth more than 700 billion Qianwu coins.

The remaining 30% will be divided among Luo Feng and his two companions, with each receiving 10%.

The three of them were quite satisfied, essentially following in Lin Kun's footsteps and easily picking up over 1000 billion Qianwu coins as spoils.

The three of them were overjoyed, their faces beaming with smiles.

This is one of the benefits of teaming up with experienced players for dungeons; even a small share of the loot from them is enough to make you feel quite satisfied.

......

On the seventh day, as it was getting dark.

Lin Kun and his group of six finally arrived outside the core area of ​​this realm within a realm.

The core area is a beautiful plain.

Looking around, the ground was covered with all sorts of strange, low-lying flowers and plants.

These flowers and plants are all about ten centimeters tall and look very flat, like a beautiful and wide velvet carpet, as if someone has been carefully pruning and tending to them.

The terrain here is also very flat, with very little undulation.

Lin Kun and his group of six stood at the edge of this beautiful plain, gazing into the distance.

"Oh my god."

"Just how many people died?" The group couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The beautiful plain under the cover of night, with occasional faint white rays of light drifting down from the sky, brought a little light, allowing the group to barely see what was happening a few hundred meters ahead.

At a glance, dozens of corpses lay silently within a range of several hundred meters.

There were men and women, and their appearances varied. Some resembled beastmen, some had horns on their heads, some had scales, some had green skin, and some resembled humans.

However, all of these people were already dead, and some of their bodies were even torn apart, with no whole corpses left, which shows how fierce the battle was.

The group watched this scene in silence.

Looking at this beautiful plain now, it seems to have turned into a cannibalistic battlefield, filled with bloodshed and slaughter.

after awhile.

"Let's go." Lin Kun took the lead and started walking forward.

After that, Luo Feng and the others followed.

Walking across the plains, one often sees cold corpses along the way.

"The fighting in this core area is truly brutal."

Thor's voice was deep and somber. "We've only been in this core plain for a short time, and we've already seen over a hundred corpses! The entire core area is so vast, how many people have died? Of the tens of thousands who came in together, how many are still alive?"

"The core area contains 99% of the universe crystals in the entire Realm Within a Realm, so naturally the fighting is most frenzied here," Luo Feng sighed.

"This is the cruelty of the universe, the naked survival of the fittest. Everyone is fighting, grabbing, and struggling to become stronger and live a better life... People die for wealth, birds die for food, there's nothing more to say," Lin Kun said softly.

Luo Feng, Lei Shen, and Hong Du nodded solemnly.

Ninety-nine percent of the cosmic crystals are buried here in the core area.

Because the core area is the 'foundation' of the entire realm within a realm.

Of course, the most crucial cosmic crystals will be protected and cannot be mined. If they are forcibly mined, the entire inner world will collapse and be destroyed.

At that time, even the realm lords will not have an easy time.

The establishment of a world involves the core cosmic crystal forming an energy supply cycle, which will naturally absorb the primordial energy of the universe from the outside to replenish itself, thus forming a stable supply and demand.

Over time, this will also lead to the distribution of scattered cosmic crystals throughout the world.

These cosmic crystals, scattered throughout the world, are few in number. The majority of the cosmic crystals are the surplus that can be mined from the core areas.

You might come across tens of thousands of cubic meters of material at any given location.

Therefore, the fighting here was naturally extremely fierce.
