Devouring the Starry Sky: Eclipse Palace Master

Chapter 102 Zhen Yan and Zhen Che

Li Er rushed along the passage as fast as lightning.

His figure was like a stream of light, breaking through the silence and darkness in the passage.

Three hours passed quickly as he hurried on his way, and the end of the passage finally came into view.

A magnificent square suddenly appears before your eyes.

In the square, thousands of people were standing or sitting, communicating in groups of three or five. Their voices intertwined to form a buzzing noisy sound.

Among the crowd, several giant beasts of the starry sky stood majestically, like giant beasts from ancient mythology descending to the earth.

These giant star beasts are huge in size. Even though the diameter of the square is tens of thousands of kilometers, they still stand out like a crane among chickens. Each giant beast exudes an awe-inspiring aura, as if it is the overlord of this world.

At this moment, Li Er's arrival attracted everyone's attention.

"Hello, please rest here for a while!" A gentle and graceful greeting came, and a female receptionist approached with light steps.

She has a beautiful face and a short, furry tail like a rabbit.

"When can we enter the secret realm?" Li Er asked directly.

"We need to wait until a certain number of people gather, otherwise the cost of opening the entrance to the secret realm will be high." The female receptionist tilted her head slightly, still with that charming smile on her face, and explained patiently.

"My Realm Master-level Space Beast, you came at a very lucky time. Someone has been waiting in this square for more than ten days. After all, the lone rangers are not as organized as the human forces in terms of concentrating their talents. You can only rely on yourselves to slowly gather together and gather enough people."

Li Er nodded silently. Although he felt helpless, he had no choice but to accept this reality.

He turned and walked to one side of the square, where there was a row of huge metal benches.

These benches are like small hills to ordinary humans, but to a starry sky behemoth like Li Er, they are just seats that can barely accommodate one.

Li Er randomly chose a spot to sit down. His giant purple cocoon beast form was originally ten thousand meters tall. Even though it has shrunk a hundred times now, it is still a hundred meters tall.

Every time he moved, the ground would tremble slightly and make a dull roar, as if the earth was groaning in pain.

"Hello!" "Are you coming alone?" Two hearty greetings broke the silence around.

When Li Er heard the voice, a trace of curiosity surged in his heart, and he slowly lowered his head to look.

He saw two ape-man world masters, about three meters tall, walking towards him with big strides.

Their faces are extremely similar, as if they were carved from the same mold. Their faces are covered with thick hair, which is a golden brown color and gleams slightly under the sunlight, giving people a wild and heroic feeling.

Li Er could tell at a glance that both of them were at the peak of Realm Master strength. They exuded a powerful and steady aura, like two silent volcanoes. Although they seemed calm, they contained endless power.

Moreover, there was a faint flickering of strange light between the eyebrows of the two, which obviously indicated that they had been recognized by the law of origin.

You should know that although there are thousands of people in this square, most of them are at the domain lord level, and only a small number are at the world lord level and universe level.

The reason why there are so few cosmic-level people is mainly because their own strength is relatively weak.

In this vast universe, traveling such a long distance to get here is full of challenges and hardships for the cosmic level.

There are very few cosmic-level beings who can rely on their own power to cross numerous galaxies and enter this secret realm. They usually choose the other three nearby secret realms.

The flight cost of this long interstellar journey alone is not something that many cosmic-level people can afford.

That is a huge amount of wealth that is enough to bankrupt them and make them discouraged. Only those cosmic-level powerful people with powerful backgrounds or who have experienced countless hardships in the universe and accumulated huge wealth would consider embarking on this distant journey.

Li Er, who was in the form of a giant purple pupa, nodded slightly and answered in a muffled voice, "One person."

"It's not easy to reach Luanniao Star by yourself, right? It took us two brothers 50 years to get here by spaceship." The slightly taller Ape-Man Lord laughed and said. His laughter was hearty and heroic, as if it could dispel the haze around him.

Having said that, he and his brother sat down casually on the alloy bench opposite.

The tall ape man flipped his wrist slightly, and a bottle of fine wine with a rich aroma and three cups appeared out of thin air.

Two small cups and one extra large cup.

Then, he used the power of the world to skillfully control the wine, which was like a spirit, slowly poured into the cups. The three cups of wine floated steadily in front of the three people, and the aroma of the wine filled the air. The rich aroma seemed to penetrate into people's hearts, making people intoxicated. "Thank you!" Li Er stretched out his strong arms and gently picked up the wine glass. "I'm fine. The interstellar journey didn't take 50 years."

"Oh!" The tall ape's eyes lit up and he laughed, "My name is Zhen Yan, and this is my younger brother Zhen Che."

Zhen Che next to him seemed more reserved. He just nodded slightly at Li Er and whispered, "Hello!"

"My name is..." Li Er paused for a moment, then said after thinking for a moment, "Laozi!"

"Laozi? Haha, brother, your name sounds weird!"

Zhen Yan couldn't help but burst into laughter. His laughter echoed in the square, attracting many people around him to look at him.

The two ape-man leaders were experienced in the world and knew immediately that it was just a nickname.

In this vast universe, the nickname "Laozi" is too common, especially among those adventurers who are wandering outside. They rarely use their real names and call each other by nicknames.

After all, real names often contain too many secrets and ties, while nicknames can be changed at will and are more flexible and free.

If you randomly pick a hundred people from a crowd, you might be able to find several with the name "Zi".

Seeing that Li Er seemed unwilling to reveal his real name, the two of them were very tactful and naturally would not force him to answer.

……

"Huh? Look, another realm master is coming!"

Zhen Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had discovered something new, and he looked straight into the distance.

Li Er also looked over and saw a realm master in a black robe slowly walking towards the square.

His steps were steady and powerful, and every step seemed to be in mysterious harmony with the earth. He exuded a mysterious aura, like a fog, making him elusive.

"There are already 98 Realm Masters now." Ape Man Zhenche narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured in a low voice: "It's almost time to set off!"

"Every time we have to gather 100 realm masters before they are willing to open the entrance to this secret realm. It really tests one's patience! I haven't fought for so long, my sword is already thirsty!" Zhen Yan frowned and complained unhappily. As he spoke, he gently patted the long sword at his waist. The long sword made a low buzzing sound, as if responding to its master's desire.

Li Er was chatting with the two people in a casual manner. The topics ranged from anecdotes in the universe to various cultivation experiences. However, whenever the topic involved his own life experience, origin or other important information, he always cleverly changed the subject without revealing anything.

He knew very well that in this vast universe, people's hearts were treacherous and the world was full of unknown dangers and traps.

When you are out, you cannot trust anyone easily, even the seemingly generous ape brothers in front of you.

……

In this way, time passed slowly as everyone waited and expected.

Two days later, the number of realm masters who gathered in the square and wanted to enter the secret realm finally reached 100.

"Masters of the Realm, gather here!" A loud shout rang out above the square, and the voice contained an unquestionable majesty.

Soon, a passage emitting mysterious light slowly opened, and a powerful attraction faintly came from the passage, as if an invisible giant hand was calling everyone.

Li Er stood up, his huge body standing out among the crowd like a crane among chickens.

He slowly walked towards the passage and gathered with the other realm masters.

"My fellow realm masters, you are about to go to the continent where the Purple Pupa Giant Beast Clan, an ally of our human race, is located."

A tall, sturdy immortal god said solemnly, "You all know the rules of the secret realm! You are not allowed to harm the lives of the star beasts at will! If you violate it, you will be severely punished!"

Li Er and hundreds of other world masters stood there quietly, with serious expressions, listening carefully to the admonitions of the immortal gods.

They all knew that this secret realm must be full of challenges, and abiding by the rules was a prerequisite for them to survive and gain benefits in it.
