Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 222 The Great Purchase, Comprehending the Chaos Stele

Next, he will go to the extraterrestrial battlefield, where there are countless powerful alien races. They are not only strong, but also extremely cunning. He must purchase a precise detection device to gain the upper hand.

The detectors are mainly divided into two categories.

One type is the ultra-large range, which generally has three specifications: radius of 3 million kilometers, 10 million kilometers, and 1 billion kilometers.

One type is the ultra-small range, which generally comes in three sizes: 10 kilometers, 20 kilometers, and 100 kilometers in radius.

The wide-range detector has poor detection accuracy but a large detection range, making it suitable for long-distance detection of enemy ships and facilitating advance deployment.

Small-area detectors have a small detection range but high detection accuracy, and can accurately determine detailed information such as the strength of the enemy encountered.

Both types of detectors have their advantages and disadvantages. Given the complex situation on the battlefield outside the region, both must be equipped.

The most expensive detectors cost hundreds of millions or even billions of points, which even Minghai, with his considerable wealth, couldn't afford.

After observing for a long time, Minghai finally placed an order for the SFRETO0106963 model, a large-scale detector with a detection radius of 1000 billion kilometers and a price of 10 million points, and the SFRET07102290 model, a small-scale detector with a detection radius of 100 kilometers and a price of 300 million points.

Such a detector is usually possessed only by high-ranking immortal kings who venture into battlefields outside the domain. For a realm lord in the Underworld Sea, it is an extremely high-end configuration.

After placing the order for the detector, Minghai spent another 30 million points to buy a top-tier genetic energy armor called the 'Azure Treasure Armor', which is beyond the fifth tier and can effectively resist attacks from immortal divine power.

Below the level of treasure, apart from special armor such as the exclusive armor of the Yan God Clan, armor of the 'Canglan Treasure Armor' is already considered top-tier.

With a price tag of 30 million points, very few people below the King Immortal level can afford it, and many Marquis Immortals don't even have it.

Immediately afterwards, he spent eight million points to buy a battle sword called 'Obsidian Sword', which was made primarily of G-grade metal.

The power of the Blood Ink Sword, bestowed by the Lord of Ice Peaks, is related to the level of the secret technique. Since Minghai has only just created a 'low-level' secret technique, he cannot unleash the sword's power and it would be better not to use it.

"What else do you need to venture into battlefields beyond the borders?"

Minghai pondered silently.

The Azure Armor and the Obsidian Sword are enough for him to use until he becomes a Marquis or even a King, providing him with both offensive and defensive capabilities for a considerable period of time.

When venturing into extraterrestrial battlefields, besides one's own strength, the most important thing is a spaceship with excellent performance.

It facilitates both pursuit of the enemy and retreat or escape at any time.

In this regard, he already has the F-class spaceship 'Firefly', which can withstand attacks from a King-level expert and has a dark universe speed of up to 68 times the speed of light, as well as the top-level intelligent system 'Little Blood', so there is no need to purchase additional equipment.

As for plant-based or metal-based life-supporting methods, they are essential for others, but the Underworld Sea does not need them.

Given his cultivation progress, the speed at which he can nurture auxiliary life forms is simply not up to par, making them useless and unnecessary to cultivate.

Not to mention him, even Luo Feng from the original timeline, who painstakingly cultivated the Moyun Vine and Star-Eating Grass at great cost, soon found them unable to keep up and was left on Earth to look after his family.

In addition, knowing the secret techniques of soul enslavement, and given the right opportunity, it would be very necessary to enslave a few immortal powerhouses from other races.

Possessing immortal soul slaves not only enhances personal strength but also indirectly grants the ability to teleport to a divine kingdom.

For the Nether Sea, which has no divine kingdom, the teleportation of divine kingdoms, which can traverse vast distances of time and space and teleport arbitrarily within the primordial universe, is even more important.

He had long envied the divine kingdom teleportation ability that only immortals possessed.

Therefore, the first thing Minghai purchased was the secret technique of soul enslavement, and the purpose was self-evident.

After thinking for a long time, Minghai felt that he had made enough preparations, so he gave up the purchase and exited the virtual universe.

He then got up, walked out of the palace, and headed towards the city lord's mansion along the ancient street.

Soon, they arrived at the city lord's mansion, which was over three hundred meters high and looked majestic and imposing.

Stepping through the city lord's mansion gate, passing through the long corridor, and entering the nearly 30-meter-high entrance on the left, one arrives at a 120-meter-high, mysterious bronze gate with two universal characters 'Ice Peak' on it.

With a vertical eye between his brows, seemingly ordinary, and with a kind face, the three-eyed old man, the guardian of the Chaos Monument, and the senior cosmic venerable Kandri, looked towards the Underworld Sea.

"I've met His Holiness!"

Minghai bowed respectfully.

"Heh, Minghai, you've come to observe the Chaos Stele?"

Looking at this person, who might be the most stunningly talented genius in the history of humanity, Kandri smiled kindly and said with a chuckle:

"There's no one inside, let's go!"

Rumble~~~
The colossal bronze gate roared open, revealing a chaotic current of smoke swirling within. "Thank you, Venerable One!"

Minghai, showing proper courtesy, thanked him and then entered the secret chamber.

'boom'

The massive bronze gate behind them closed.

Finding a place to sit cross-legged, surrounded by chaotic air currents, Minghai looked at the huge chaotic monument that was a hundred meters high in front of him.

Thirteen patterns illustrating the origin of laws came into view one by one.

The first four images, besides being equivalent to the insights gained from the twelfth level of the Heavenly Bridge, also contain the essence of 108 spatial laws.

After briefly looking through the first four pictures, Minghai looked at the fifth, sixth, and seventh pictures.

The fifth image, corresponding to the 13th to 15th levels of the Tongtian Bridge's understanding of the laws, is a tall, roaring lion with its body crystal clear.

The lion is incredibly lifelike, with every part of its body exuding a primal aura, illustrating profound and mysterious laws.

Guided by the mysterious primordial aura, Minghai quickly went through the pattern. The parts that were previously blurry became clear and he understood them perfectly.

Then I looked at the sixth picture.

The sixth picture corresponds to the sixteenth and seventeenth levels of the Tongtian Bridge's laws of enlightenment. It features a six-headed lion pattern with a large, crystal-clear body.

These lions are in various poses: some are bowing their heads in deep thought, some are raising their heads to roar, some are lying on the ground sleeping, and so on.

Each lion pattern illustrates a small branch of a complete spatial law.

These are 'Spatial Cutting', 'Spatial Penetration', 'Spatial Strangulation', 'Spatial Enclosure', 'Spatial Illusion', and 'Spatial Breakthrough'.

Although Minghai had already mastered these minor branches of spatial laws, he still gained considerable insights from viewing the sixth image under the guidance of the profound aura of the Chaos Stele.

An hour later, having completely mastered the sixth picture, Minghai looked at the seventh picture.

The seventh picture, corresponding to the eighteenth and nineteenth levels of the Tongtian Bridge, is engraved with a hundred lions in different poses.

Each lion contains extremely profound and mysterious laws.

Guided by the primordial energy contained within the Chaos Stele, the Nether Sea was immersed in the boundless and profound mysteries of the laws.

What I had learned and understood in the past flowed rapidly through my mind, gathered, and integrated...

Before long, it covered all his current understanding of the laws, and then continued to delve into the origin, with countless new insights surging into his mind.

I don't know how much time passed; it seemed like a moment or millions of years.

until……

"Come out!"

"Come out!"

……

A deafening, extremely unpleasant sound entered his ears and penetrated deep into his brain. Minghai jolted awake from his mysterious state.

Minghai bared his teeth, clutched his head, and charged out of the giant bronze gate.

Speechless, Minghai glanced at Kander, who stood at the door with a benevolent expression, and quickly left, returning to his palace.

Seven or eight days later.

Palace entrance.

"Your Highness, these are the items you purchased. Please inspect them!"

A black-robed immortal handed Minghai a spatial ring and said respectfully.

Taking the spatial ring, he probed it with his mental energy, examining the hundreds of black books made of special metal neatly stacked inside, the 'Azure Armor' shimmering with azure light, and the pitch-black 'Obsidian Sword.' Minghai nodded and said:

"Thank you!"
