I picked up attributes in Swallowing Star.

The Ninth Prince, Brolin, swept his gaze across the major factions below.

Everyone was stunned, and then they all quieted down.

Exorbitantly priced weapons! They can kill them instantly!

"Very good. Everyone is cooperating well." The Ninth Prince smiled as he swooped down, followed by more than six hundred others.

Immediately, the Ninth Prince, leading over six hundred men and a large contingent from the Black Dragon Mountain camp, marched directly towards the castle. The other four major camps hesitated slightly, but followed a step later, also heading towards the castle.

…………

"What do we do?" Luo Feng asked.

"Let's just go along with it." Luo Yuan shrugged and smiled. In fact, those nine C2-level laser guns posed no threat to him. His current combat strength was comparable to that of a fifth-tier cosmic-level expert. He just needed to be careful of those with special abilities and equipment. The universe was so vast, who knew what dangerous things might exist there.

Then Luo Yuan and his fourteen companions mingled in the crowd and headed toward the blue castle.

The large forces of the four major factions—North Dragon City, Black Cloud Society, Hundred Tiger Tower, and Holy Land Ice Sea Divine Kingdom—could only watch helplessly as this scene unfolded.

Upon arriving at the castle gate, tens of thousands of people immediately halted their advance.

"Sambi, open the castle for me." The Ninth Prince, Brolin, pointed to the castle at the front.

"Yes."

A bodyguard behind him spoke respectfully. The curly-haired bodyguard was dressed in a black alloy suit, and suddenly a helmet automatically formed, enveloping his entire body. Then, the bodyguard carefully walked towards the ancient castle, a castle that had stood for millions of years, a castle that no one had ever opened.

The castle gate is 12 meters high and 8 meters wide.

The bodyguard walked to the door, placed his hands on the castle door, and suddenly exerted force...

As the bodyguard exerted his strength, the city gate trembled slightly, and some dust and debris drifted down from all directions.

"Hiss~~"

Streaks of lightning suddenly erupted from all parts of the castle, and a massive amount of lightning swirled around the entire castle. Almost instantly, before the bodyguard could even retreat, the lightning had already pierced through his body. Just like his hair being singed, with a "hiss," the bodyguard was instantly reduced to ashes, leaving only his red-hot alloy battle suit.

"This—" Ninth Prince Brolin also broke out in a cold sweat. He dodged and retreated into the group of bodyguards behind him. If he had been the one to push the door open, he would probably be dead too.

This scene shocked tens of thousands of adventurers. A ninth-level stellar warrior was instantly reduced to ashes by lightning. Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what to do.

suddenly--

"Click-clack-clack-clack-clack~~" The castle emitted a deep sound, and its massive gates began to slowly open automatically.

"The door opened by itself!" Surrounded by bodyguards, the Ninth Prince 'Brolin's' eyes lit up suddenly, like a starving wild dog seeing a bone. "There's a 99% chance there's treasure inside the castle!"

The castle gates were open, but for a moment no one dared to enter. The Ninth Prince silently watched the castle, seemingly waiting to see if anything would happen next.

"Your Highness?" the female bodyguard behind him whispered.

"Don't rush," Brolin said softly, his eyes fixed on the lightning castle ahead.

Among the crowd, Luo Yuan and the others also stared at the Thunder Castle in the distance.

suddenly--

All the electric sparks on the surface of Thunder Castle quickly subsided and disappeared, but the once ancient and dilapidated castle seemed to have been completely renewed. "Sizzle!" "Sizzle!" "Sizzle!" A series of sounds came from inside the castle, and beams of light lit up the entire castle, soon enveloping it.

"Haha, hahahaha..."

A hearty, exhilarating laugh emanated from the castle, echoing throughout the heavens and earth.

"Welcome, everyone, to the Realm Within a Realm. I have waited for this day for over ten million years!" A deep voice echoed between heaven and earth.

More than 10,000 adventurers were stunned.

"What was that sound? Who was speaking?"

"I do not know."

"Could it be that the world lord who created the inner world didn't die?"

"Keep dreaming. The Thunder World has been discovered for over ten million years. A world lord can't live that long unless he's immortal."

"If the original World Lord had become an Immortal, would it have been possible for him to retreat to the World Within a World for tens of millions of years? Unless he was a monster."

Chapter 88 Exchange

Outside the castle, more than ten thousand adventurers were whispering among themselves.

"This?" Luo Feng, Hong, Lei Shen and the others looked at each other.

"What the hell?" Luo Feng whispered.

"No need to ask. Having lived this long, it must be the auxiliary AI of that deceased realm lord," Luo Yuan said. "After being alone for tens of millions of years, I wonder if this AI has evolved into an 'intelligent life form.' If it has, tens of millions of years of solitude would probably make it abnormal!"

"Pervert?" Luo Feng and the others frowned upon hearing Luo Yuan's words.

The leaders of the five major factions, including the Ninth Prince, were also staring at the castle.

Above the castle, beams of light converged, and then a virtual figure appeared. It was a chubby old man with a white beard. The old man squinted and looked down at the more than 10,000 people below, which made the more than 10,000 adventurers feel a little scared. Most of the people present had some knowledge.

Focusing light on a person's shadow is generally a smart, technological means.

"Little ones, you've come here because you want the treasure of the Realm Within a Realm, haven't you?" The white-bearded old man smiled and looked down. "Yes, our master placed his treasure in the Realm Within a Realm, and I was the one guarding it."

"Master has many treasures."

"Look!"

The white-bearded old man pointed to his side, and there above the castle, beams of light converged, instantly creating a giant screen displaying numerous images of various items. There were so many photos of treasures that it was dazzling. At the very center of the screen was a crystal ball with strange, unusual colors.

"The Inheritance Crystal Ball!" Ninth Prince Brolin's eyes lit up.

"It's the inheritance crystal ball." The leaders of the other four factions were all excited and expectant.

in the crowd.

Including Luo Yuan, tens of thousands of people were excitedly watching the numerous treasure images on the screen.

“Master has many treasures.”

"Let me categorize them carefully. There are 68 types of treasures, totaling 312 items." The white-bearded old man pointed to the screen next to him, and a ranking list immediately appeared on the screen.

"No.1 Complete set of spatial secret techniques inheritance crystal ball deposit bank account (triple account)"

No. 2 Owner's bank account number

No. 3 Domain Lord-level Bloodline Potion (one serving)

No. 4 One seedling of *Ivy floribunda*

……

No. 68, Fifth-Order Force Weapon, Heavenly Fire Wheel

silence.

Everyone was staring at the screen; it was spectacular! There were 68 different treasures, some with three or four pieces, or even six or seven. That meant there were a total of 312 treasures!

"Mrs……"

"They've gone mad, they've gone mad."

"Even the worst one is a fifth-tier Force weapon. My God!"

"If I get this treasure, I can become the richest person in our galaxy." More than 10,000 adventurers were all gleaming with excitement, completely insane.

The virtual intelligent life form, an old man with a white beard, saw the greedy expressions on the faces of the adventurers below and revealed a kind yet eerie smile.

Do you want these treasures?

The white-bearded old man laughed heartily, "You only need to use Thunderstones to exchange for them! Every treasure here can be exchanged for Thunderstones. Look, each treasure has a detailed price!"

The list on the adjacent screen changed slightly.

"No.1 The complete set of spatial secret technique inheritance crystal ball is stored in the bank's account (triple account). Each account is worth 1000 million Thunderstones. When the three accounts are combined, the inheritance crystal ball can be retrieved from the Universe's Number One Bank."

No. 2 is the owner's bank account, requiring 800 million Thunderstones.

No. 3 Domain Lord-level Bloodline Potion (one serving), each serving contains 300 million Thunderstones.

No. 4 ……

……

No. 9 Life Fruit (three), each containing 80 Thunderstones

……

No. 32 D6-level railguns (three), each costing 21 Thunderstones.

……

No. 68, a Tier 5 Force Weapon, the Heavenly Fire Wheel (one piece), each containing 100,000 Thunderstones.

The entire list immediately drove everyone below into a frenzy.

What is Thunderstone?

"Never heard of Thunderstone?"

"Since it can be exchanged for these treasures, Thunderstone must be very valuable."

The discussion continued.

Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen below heard the white-bearded old man's words and looked at Luo Yuan with astonishment, as if they had seen a ghost.

"Third Brother, did you already anticipate that these treasures would be exchanged for Thunderstones?" Luo Feng asked Luo Yuan telepathically, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Hong Ye Lei Shen looked at Luo Yuan with the same gaze.

Seeing this, Luo Yuan simply nodded without explaining anything, as it was difficult to explain. The other two, seeing Luo Yuan's expression, didn't ask further. They all understood Luo Yuan; if he didn't want to say anything, asking wouldn't make a difference. They just felt that Luo Yuan was becoming increasingly mysterious.

After the white-bearded old man explained to the adventurers below what Thunderstones were and revealed their distribution map, the five factions below the castle quickly sprang into action. Teams of two to three hundred men each flew off in different directions to compete for the Thunderstones!

In the end, only Luo Yuan and his fourteen men remained, calmly standing in place.

The white-bearded old man's phantom frowned upon seeing Luo Yuan and the others remain motionless and asked, "Why don't you go and steal the Thunderstone?"

Luo Yuan smiled, took out a piece of thunderstone, weighed it in his hand, and said, "Is this the kind of stone you're talking about?"
