Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 88 Massive Amount of Life Crystals
‘Shua——’

Inside the World Ring, Lu Jin stood in mid-air.

Looking out, a vast grassland stretching to the horizon comes into view.

On the vast grasslands, a massive number of corpses lay scattered about.

Perhaps because the corpses were all at least planetary level in strength when they were alive, Lu Jin did not find any signs of decay on the grassland, despite the large number of corpses.

With the Demon Refining Pot in hand, Lu Jin began to collect the corpses with all his might.

There were too many corpses for Lu Jin to count.

Moreover, while quantity is an important indicator of whether these corpses are good value for money, it is only one aspect; quality is equally important.

For example, the number of planetary-level life crystals that can be extracted from a peak ninth-tier planetary beast corpse is more than five hundred times that of a first-tier planetary beast corpse. The number of beast corpses alone is not enough.

Once all the corpses inside the World Ring have been decomposed into Life Source Crystals, and the artifact spirit Yao Yao reports the number of Life Source Crystals of each level collected, he will know whether the Cosmic Galaxy Bank is actually running a pig butchering scam.

'Whoosh—'

Holding the Demon Refining Pot, Lu Jin flew rapidly across the grassland, and wherever he passed, large swaths of beast corpses disappeared.

For a time, Lu Jin was experiencing both pain and pleasure.

What's exciting is that the number of Life Source Crystals inside the Demon Refining Pot has increased dramatically.

The problem is that there are too many corpses, and due to our limited strength, we simply cannot collect them all in a short period of time.

This massive operation to recover the bodies lasted for half a month.

Lu Jin's eyes revealed fatigue, but his face was beaming with the joy of a bountiful harvest.

Collecting corpses is tiring, but the rewards are amazing.

5098 World Lord-level Life Source Crystals were used, costing 10 Chaos Units, with each crystal costing approximately 19.6 billion Cosmic Coins.

498 million Domain Lord-level Life Source Crystals were used, costing 1 Chaos Unit, with each crystal costing approximately 20 Cosmic Coins.

5.2 million cosmic-level life source crystals were produced, costing 100 billion cosmic coins, with a cost price of approximately 19.2 cosmic coins per crystal.

Theoretically, a corpse at the peak of the ninth rank can be decomposed into 512 life source crystals of that rank.

However, theory is one thing, and actual shipments may not necessarily match theoretical figures.

For example, if a corpse is slightly damaged or severely damaged, two damaged corpses can be counted as one complete corpse, and the life crystals extracted from them will naturally fluctuate.

Lu Jin didn't care about that, as long as the approximate number matched.

Compared to the Zerg warrior corpses at the cosmic, domain lord, and world lord levels, the planetary and stellar levels of beast corpses are less cost-effective.

5489 billion Stellar-level Life Source Crystals were produced, costing 100 billion Cosmic Coins, or 33 trillion Skyfrost Coins, with each crystal costing 60.1 Skyfrost Coins.

5315 trillion Planetary Life Source Crystals were used, costing 33 trillion Skyfrost Coins, with a cost price of 0.0062 Skyfrost Coins per crystal.

Based on this cost-price ratio, and the theoretical data that a peak ninth-tier beast corpse can yield 512 life source crystals, the stellar-level and planetary-level beast corpses sold to him by the Cosmic Galaxy Bank were not cheap.

If we say that the corpses of Zerg warriors at the World Lord, Domain Lord, and Universe levels are only sold at a tenfold price increase...

Then, the Cosmic Galaxy Bank would sell the carcasses of stellar and planetary-level beasts at a hundred times the price.

A peak ninth-tier stellar beast corpse is worth 60.1 * 512 ≈ 30771.2 Skyfrost Coins.

A peak ninth-tier planetary beast corpse is worth approximately 3.17 Skyfrost Coins (approximately 0.0062 * 512).

Even using the official exchange rate of 1:1000, the Planetary Rank 9 peak beast corpse that the Cosmic Galaxy Bank sold him cost over 3,000 Azure Coins per corpse. Meanwhile, in various slave markets, a human martial artist slave at the Planetary Rank 9 typically sells for only 30,000 Azure Coins.

Under the same level, the price of animal carcasses can reach one-tenth of that of human warrior slaves?

Is this a loss of morality or a distortion of human nature?

However, to be fair, although the Cosmic Galaxy Bank sold him stellar and planetary-level beast corpses at a price a hundred times higher, it wasn't actually that bad.

If he were to acquire them himself, how long would it take him to collect so many animal corpses?
To put it bluntly, it's not that the value of these beast corpses themselves is worth 20 billion cosmic coins.

Rather, it's the convenience of the bank's channels, the inherent value of the massive number of animal corpses, and the large amount of manpower required for the entire collection process. These three factors combined make it worth 20 billion cosmic coins in the eyes of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank.

In addition to the Life Source Crystal, after dismantling the corpses of many World Lord and Domain Lord level Zerg warriors, Lu Jin also obtained ten entry-level lower-level Law Beads and tens of thousands of Domain Beads.

Don't underestimate Zerg warriors just because they are mass-produced cannon fodder. High-level Zerg warriors also possess certain knowledge of laws or domains.

A Zerg warrior at the World Lord level must have at least reached the threshold of the lower-level primordial laws in terms of their mastery of the laws.

The Zerg warriors at the Domain Lord level all possess their own domains.

By dissecting their corpses with the Demon Refining Pot, Lu Jin could naturally obtain entry-level lower-level law beads, as well as domain beads that could be refined and promoted to domain lord.

"I wonder how long these life crystals will last."

Lu Jin glanced at the mountain of life crystals of various levels piled up inside the Demon Refining Pot and thought to himself.

Logically speaking, with a cosmic-level life source crystal in his pocket, a domain in his possession, and having achieved a hundredfold increase in physical strength and mental power amplitude, his foundation is terrifyingly solid. He should be able to start working on breaking through to the cosmic level.

In fact, breaking through to the cosmic level is not impossible.

However, only the original core and the yet-to-be-born water unicorn clone can break through; the human main body cannot.

After all, in about ten years, the Universe Peak Genius Battle hosted by the Virtual Universe Company will begin.

If a human being breaks through to the cosmic level, they will lose the qualification to participate in the battle of geniuses.

It's not that you'll die if you don't join Virtual Universe Company.

The main problem is that if he doesn't join one of the five major human factions, he simply won't be able to obtain advanced secret manuals or some non-saleable resources.

Even if you manage to acquire it by spending money, powerful entities like the Cosmic Galaxy Bank will still rip you off, charging you hundreds or thousands of times more before selling it to you.

It can be said that there is no anti-monopoly law in the universe, and even less so an enforcer of anti-monopoly law, otherwise the five major human powers would have been broken up.

Furthermore, even after joining Virtual Universe Company, it's not impossible to leave in the future.

As long as your fists are strong enough, how could the Lord of Chaos City possibly stop you?

Why won't you let me quit?
Well, it's not like we can't discuss it. For example, you could give me your position as the head of your virtual universe company.

Chaos City Lord: Heh~, tui~!

Shaking his head, Lu Jin's thoughts shifted, and his figure disappeared from the world ring, appearing in Zi Ni Chang's inner world.

After glancing at the Cloud Vine and Blood Thorn that were still absorbing Life Source Crystals not far away, Lu Jin turned his gaze to the three white vines in the stone basin beside him.

The three white vines are about 60 centimeters tall, with silvery-white roots and stems. Each of them has ten thin silver vines. They are the three young Ten-Vine Star-Eating Grass plants that have reached the peak of the ninth level of the planetary realm.
