Swallowing the Stars: Sacrifice to Become Stronger, Fiancée is Alluring

Chapter 136 Planetary Ninth Order, Babata is stunned

"Aww—"

The screams of the ferocious beasts were incessant.

However, after a few seconds, there was no sound.

All one hundred ferocious beasts died under Jiang Lan's lightning, emitting the aroma of roasted meat.

Jiang Lan looked down at her palm and smiled with satisfaction.

This lightning is his special ability.

When facing enemies of similar strength, his lightning can be an asset, but its destructive power is relatively limited.

However, when facing enemies weaker than himself, this special ability can come in very handy.

Before taking the drug, Jiang Lan was a fifth-level planetary beast. Compared to beasts of a higher level than himself, he could only use a clumsy method: unleash his full power and kill them one by one.

But now Jiang Lan is already at the eighth level of the planetary realm, and his lightning talent is more than enough to kill the group of sixth-level planetary beasts in front of him.

As all the ferocious beasts perished, the system notification sounded again in Jiang Lan's ears.

[A sacrificial item detected: 100 Silverback Giant Wolves. Would you like to sacrifice it?]

Sacrifice!

Jiang Lan gritted her teeth.

This has happened 300 times already, he just doesn't believe it, this time they're all guaranteed Body Tempering Pills again!

We should at least give him something else, right?

Even an egg would be fine...

Wait, aren't wolves supposed to be viviparous?

Then a roasted wolf leg would be fine too!

[Sacrifice successful. Host has obtained Body Tempering Pill (Silverback Giant Wolf*100) and Roasted Wolf Leg*1.]

Jiang Lan: "???"

Okay, okay, you got what you wanted, right?

I should have asked for the cultivation of a universe master earlier.

Of course, Jiang Lan knew that his idea was just wishful thinking.

Even systems must follow basic laws.

Sacrifice planetary monsters to become the master of the universe.

That's unrealistic.

Instead of thinking about all this nonsense, I should hurry up and improve my strength to the level of a star on this planet.

Just like on Earth, once he became a planet, planetary-level body-tempering pills were basically of no help to him.

Therefore, if he wants to continue improving, he needs to find a planet full of alien monsters.

However, planetary monsters can still be bred on a large scale, planetary monsters...

It's likely that only a highly advanced civilization like the Qianwu Universe Kingdom could possess such a thing.

As he thought to himself, he popped a Body Tempering Pill into his mouth.

The system's inventory has one hundred slots. The first slot contains roasted wolf leg, and the other ninety-nine slots are all filled with Body Tempering Pills.

That's why the extra one automatically ended up in his hand.

Jiang Lan frowned slightly. These hundred grids are enough for now, but what if he has to kill thousands or tens of thousands of demon beasts every time in the future? Wouldn't the body tempering pills obtained from the sacrifices be wasted?

Thinking of this, he asked the system in his mind:

"Hey, can you be a little smarter? Stacking these things doesn't seem to take much effort, does it?"

The system is silent.

Just when Jiang Lan thought the system wouldn't pay attention to him, the system's unique mechanical voice sounded.

They can be stacked.

Jiang Lan: "..."

"Then why don't you pile them up?"

system:"……"

[Stacking complete. The next batch of pill rewards will automatically stack with the same category.]

Out of the corner of Jiang Lan's eye, she noticed that the body-tempering pills that had been filling her backpack were now all crammed into the second compartment behind the roasted wolf leg.

The upper right corner of the miniature Body Tempering Pill image is marked with the letters X99.

Jiang Lan was very satisfied.

A good system is one that can admit its mistakes and correct them.

With a thought, he took out ten Body Tempering Pills from his system backpack and popped them into his mouth like candy.

A surge of heat entered his dantian, then vanished as if a stone had sunk into the sea.

Jiang Lan remained expressionless, then took out another handful and poured it into her mouth.

One handful after another.

Finally, the eight purplish-blue planets in his dantian spun rapidly, then came to rest and merged together.

after a while.

"boom!"

The planet exploded, and its number increased from eight to nine.

Planetary order nine.

Babata inside the crystal core: "..."

"Getting your identity sorted out doesn't seem to be in such a rush. Why don't you stay on this planet for a couple more days? We can go out when you're immortal."

Jiang Lan: "..."

If he could truly stay here until he became immortal, he wouldn't need Babata to say anything.

However, the reality is that even if he kills all the other ferocious beasts on the planet after breaking through to the Hengxing level, he may not be able to break through to the second level of Hengxing.

Therefore, there is no need to waste time on this planet.

Jiang Lan pondered for a moment, then explained to Babata:

"You're right, I can become stronger by killing monsters of the same or higher level. But it's useless against monsters that are much lower level than me."

As an intelligent life form, Babata is quite quick to think.

So as soon as Jiang Lan finished speaking, he realized what was going on.

"You mean, once you're on another planet, there's no point in staying on this one?"

"Yes, if you can find me a planet full of celestial monsters, I can reach the cosmic level in a short time."

"Incredible..." Babata's voice was full of astonishment. "I've never heard of such a... well, unbelievable way of improving."

Jiang Lan shrugged, not intending to explain.

The more he says, the more mistakes he makes. He can't reveal the fact that he has a system to anyone, not even Babata.

But Babata was with him, and while he could lie about everything else, the speed at which his strength increased was something that couldn't be faked.

But he didn't intend to reveal the system, so he could only let Babata fill in the blanks himself.

After all, the universe is vast and full of wonders; who knows, there really are things that can make you stronger by killing monsters?

"Alright, I was wondering why your speed of improvement slowed down after we arrived on the planet, given how fast you were improving before. Now I know why..." Babata paused, then continued:

"Although I don't quite understand what's going on with you, it seems like a good thing for now. This way of improving your strength..."

Babata remained silent for a long time, seemingly unsure of what to say.

"In short, you must remember to keep this secret. If other people in the universe find out, I don't know what they might do to you."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Even if Jiang Lan is incredibly stupid, she wouldn't be stupid enough to reveal her secret to the public.

Focusing on leveling up is the best approach; using something with a system to show off is something only someone with a screw loose would do.

After speaking with Babata, Jiang Lan took out the Body Tempering Pill from his system inventory again and put it in his mouth.

After finishing the meal, he felt an unusual abundance of power in his dantian, as if he would soon reach the threshold for a breakthrough.

"Let's go to the next one."

As Jiang Lan spoke, she turned to walk out.

As he reached the door, he suddenly remembered that Brettia was still being held captive by the Silver Guards.

"Silver Guard, release his head, hands, and feet first."
