Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 641 Treasure Hunt
The closer you get to Wanyun Mountain, the more alien giants, alien dragons, and undead you encounter. The undead in the vicinity are also particularly violent.

Zhou Leng fought his way through, gradually accumulating the power of his "Wildfire Fist".

The surrounding air condensed into clusters of firelight, extending twenty meters, resembling a giant lantern.

Unbeknownst to them, they had killed over a hundred grandmasters.

Suddenly, a large group of undead came galloping from the front. They were warhorses covered in dragon scales and covered in sharp, silvery-white metal spikes.

Not only are there many high-ranking masters, but there are also three grandmasters.

Zhou Leng has just entered the upper ranks and has not yet reached the peak. He can still fight against one or two Grandmasters, but against three Grandmasters plus thirty or forty upper-rank Grandmasters...

Suddenly, he recalled a move from the Emerald Wings, mustered his starlight energy, and let the light within his body surge, illuminating his skin. Combined with the fiery fist strikes that filled the sky, his aura suddenly increased.

Zhou Leng proclaimed loudly in divine script, "I am the special envoy of the Star of Despair, here to worship my god. Are you all his children?"

While maintaining speed, he looked at the spiky dragon horse herd with a very calm attitude.

Unlike the relatively benevolent Dragon Carp, the Spiky Dragon Horse is extremely irritable and prone to charging into battle. It also prefers to live in groups and runs extremely fast. Once encountered, it will either result in death or serious injury.

The spiky dragon-horse herd was originally preparing to attack, but upon hearing the divine inscription and the divine name of "Star of Despair," they were moved by the power of the Star of Despair's bloodline within them.

"We are also God's people."

The leading Grandmaster Spiked Dragon Horse lowered its head slightly and spoke in a divine language that Zhou Leng couldn't understand. The other dragon horses stopped and bowed their heads in unison.

Then, they watched Zhou Leng disappear into the pale red mist.

After running a great distance, Zhou Leng finally restrained his power and breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected of a true royal territory, it is indeed dangerous.

They continued on their journey and, surprisingly, encountered no more spirits or ghosts, arriving safely at the foot of Wanyun Mountain.

Looking up, it's so high you can't see the top; looking to the sides, it's so long you can't see the end.

Wanyun Mountain is entirely brownish-red, resembling rust or dried blood.

After running along the foot of the mountain for a while, I soon reached a low peak and started climbing it.

The hillside was steep, almost vertical at 90 degrees, but Zhou Leng ran on it, each step firmly planted on the mountainside as if walking on flat ground.

Upon reaching the top of the low hill, we looked around.

In the distance, Wanyun Mountain is shrouded in red clouds, with rolling hills stretching endlessly into the distance.

Based on previous experience, Wanyun Mountain is actually quite safe, because many spirits and dead dare not come here.

However, there are also some extremely strange places that are believed to be the manifestation of the spirits or residual power of gods, and if one encounters them, death is certain.

Zhou Leng was extremely cautious. This kind of place was almost like accidentally stumbling into a sacred land on a great battlefield. If it weren't for the blessings of the Star Giant and the Dragon God, he wouldn't have dared to enter at all.

Following the map, we soon came across a place that was quite different from others.

Elsewhere, there are rolling, reddish-brown mountains; ahead lies a black landscape, with some peaks gleaming black.

Disaster-stricken area.

The pale red mist nearby was dispelled by an invisible force.

Even though they were dozens of kilometers apart, just one glance was enough to feel the intense, destructive power of the stars rushing towards them.

An ordinary high-level master standing here would be in excruciating pain all over his body and his skin would be ulcerated.

Zhou Leng's entire body was crackling with electricity, and the invisible destructive stellar power collided with the immortal star, crackling and flashing.

The clothes spontaneously combusted without a flame and crumbled into powder.

"The intensity of this destructive stellar power..."

Zhou Leng immediately used the power of the Undying Star to protect the Demon Spirit Bag and shorts. Apart from the spatial wooden box, most Demon Spirit artifacts could not withstand the power of the Destructive Star for a long time.

Bare-chested and barefoot, they rushed into the disaster area.

Sizzle... Sizzle...

Zhou Leng's entire body shimmered with light, making him appear as a being of light as he ran through the disaster area.

At the same time, he squinted and carefully observed the nearby disaster area.

The little elf teacher, the giant dragon, and the dragon carp all mentioned information about Wanyun Mountain. As long as you sense carefully, you will definitely be able to find the dense star core.

The dense stellar core is the heart of a powerful star, possessing a peculiar power; once you get close, you can feel a subtle suction force.

All the treasures from the stars have various properties and can affect the human body because they are so powerful.

For example, this black disaster land can actually be considered a kind of celestial treasure, but ordinary people cannot use it, and the gods don't care about it.

After running for more than ten minutes, Zhou Leng suddenly stopped and looked to his left front, where there seemed to be some kind of power.

The skin felt a strange suction, somewhat like two magnets that were about to attract each other but were not quite.

"treasure……"

Zhou Leng wasn't sure if it was a dense star core, but he headed straight for it.

A fist-sized gem, white with a hint of red, was wedged in a crevice in the rock. It emitted a halo of light, creating a tremendous attraction while simultaneously releasing a powerful destructive force.

"The fragments of divine inscriptions seem to describe something like this... Star crystals are mostly part of stars. Some decompose into normal matter after leaving a star, but some retain this extremely high-density state. So, the dense star core fragments are a type of star crystal..."

Zhou Leng squeezed into the crevice and, with all his might, removed it.

When grasped in the hand, the star crystal erupted with destructive stellar power, striking the palm with a crackling sound.

Upon careful sensing, this level of destructive stellar power is enough to cause continuous damage to high-level grandmasters within a one-kilometer radius.

Even if one uses true qi to protect oneself, one will still be injured, even permanently and irreversibly, unless one possesses the ability to manipulate the stars.

Zhou Leng weighed it lightly.

"This weight... is heavier than a 500-ton grandmaster dumbbell... and that dumbbell is imbued with countless legendary magical spells..."

"Since it's a star crystal, we can follow the method of the divine script fragment..."

Zhou Leng released subtle stellar energy from his palm, forming a strange, glass-like power that enveloped the entire stellar crystal.

The Star Crystal no longer emitted destructive stellar energy. It was stored in the spatial wooden box, and the person continued forward. A short while later, a strange fluctuation was sensed again.

Walking over, I found it was a huge wall.

A strange suction force emanated from within, but it was different from the star crystal from before.

He clenched his fist and threw a punch from a distance.

bang bang bang...

The solid mountain wall kept breaking and cracking, with rocks falling down with a crash.

The force penetrates the void, and the fist cannot reach the object, so it is not affected by the reaction force.

Newton is turning in his grave, and the martial artist is finally turning in his grave.

Zhou Leng broke through a large section of the mountain, went deep into the mountains for more than ten meters, and pulled out a starry sky crystal the size of a thumb.

It is lighter than the Starry Sky Crystal from before, and it does not possess the power to destroy stars, but it has strange properties.

All external forces around it are deflected, forming an invisible spherical force around it.

As soon as I let go, the crystal floated in the air.

"The universe is indeed incredibly wondrous..."

Zhou Leng didn't understand what this thing was, but since it possessed magical power, it must be a treasure.

Keep it.

As you continue forward, you can sense the peculiar starry crystals every few minutes on average.

Three hours later, they had collected a total of seven dense star cores and various other crystals of unknown properties.

At first, Zhou Leng thought he was just lucky, but he quickly realized what was going on.

It wasn't that I was lucky; it's that nobody comes here at all.

The undead were afraid of that terrifying legend, and the other high-level masters simply didn't have the strength to enter.

A terrifying disaster site has become a blessed land for them.

Zhou Leng transforms into a treasure-hunting expert, quickening his pace to reap the bounty of nature.

In a remote part of the disaster area, beyond the reach of the red clouds, a dark figure looked over, its eyes filled with doubt.

The dark figure hesitated for a long time, but given the strong divine aura emanating from Zhou Leng and the fact that it had heard him claim to be a special envoy of the Star of Despair, it ultimately gave up its plan.

He simply stared quietly at the foreign guest.

As for what Zhou Leng considered a treasure, in the eyes of the shadowy figure, it was no different from a stone.

A garbage collector.

They spent two days and two nights collecting treasures.

He found a safe place, circulated his immortal star body, and cultivated for a whole day and night.

The intensity of the destructive star power here is just right; any weaker and the cultivation effect would be poor.

If it were any stronger, the body could suffer serious damage.

After finishing his cultivation, Zhou Leng stood up, and the light emitted by the Destruction Star Power on his body weakened considerably.

More destructive stellar energy is either absorbed or diverted by undying celestial bodies, rather than colliding with them.

Within the consciousness space, the power of the Ceres phantom weakened, while more and more power was absorbed by itself.

After fully absorbing the power of that phantom, a connection will be formed between oneself and Ceres. If the power is strong enough, one can even change the orbit of that asteroid with one's will.

When you ascend to the Void God realm, you can follow the method taught by Senior Sister Shen Yunxian and first establish your own asteroid ring based on Ceres.

I glanced at the wooden space box and saw that it contained thousands of different kinds of star crystals.

The number of dense star nuclei reaches more than three hundred.

The training room is more than enough to refine demigods, and it can also be used to exchange for various divine medicines.

In the Ten Realms, dense star cores are an important material for crafting special semi-divine artifacts. They cannot be bought even with money; they can only be obtained through barter, and even then, there is no guarantee of getting them.

Even in ten thousand years, the Demon World couldn't accumulate this many dense star cores.

"With so many dense star cores, we should be able to forge some legendary high-grade semi-divine artifacts..."

Thinking of this, Zhou Leng tried to release the high-level semi-divine artifact, the Frost God Armor, which he obtained from the Giant World.

A powerful aura of ice permeated his body, and the destructive star power struck the cold air, crackling and popping.

The Frost God Armor, a high-grade semi-divine artifact, is slowly losing power.

Based on this calculation, the power of the Frost Armor will be exhausted within 24 hours at most, and its defenses will be breached.

Zhou Leng shook his head. As expected, everyone has their own expertise. This semi-divine artifact is not suitable for defending against the power of the stars. He put it away.

I looked up and surveyed the pitch-black disaster area.

If we continue searching, we're sure to find even more treasures.

But if we go deeper, we may encounter even greater dangers.

Emerald Wings said... Pshaw!

Zhou Leng thought about it and realized that he had gained ten times more than he expected, so he could leave.

Just in case, he used the Emerald Wings' little trick, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said in divine script: "I am Wanbang Lindong·Zhou Tian Jihan, a human. As a Star Giant and inheritor of the Dragon God, I came here to seek treasures in order to forge a semi-divine artifact and save my friend. I am deeply grateful for your magnanimity and generosity. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely repay you with all my might!"

This one sentence contains at least dozens of small details, full of cunning.

Zhou Leng turned around and returned the way he came, without taking a single penny.

"Oh?"
