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

Chapter 138 Breakthrough, Star Powerhouse!

As soon as Jiang Lan spoke, the gray man's expression changed instantly, and he turned to run away into the distance.

But how could Jiang Lan let him escape right under her nose?

He took a step forward, and a burst of cyan-purple electric arcs shot out from his hand, striking Anana, who was fleeing ahead.

"Ah~~~~"

Anana, enveloped in electric arcs, made a strange sound, then a plume of black smoke rose from his head, and he collapsed limply to the ground.

After lying on the ground, his body twitched slightly at first, but soon he became completely still, clearly indicating that he was no longer alive.

Seeing this, Jiang Lan had no intention of going forward to check.

Anana's strength is only at the second level of the planetary realm.

If they were truly capable, they wouldn't be doing this kind of work collecting money at the port of call.

As for why this person was killed...

This was naturally because of the recording Jiang Lan had given him earlier, from Babata.

He remembered clearly that it was this man named Anana who revealed his information to Bretya.

As soon as Jiang Lan finished listening to the recording, she had already sentenced Anana to death in her heart.

Jiang Lan glanced at it briefly, then turned and walked to the front of the spaceship. The hatch of Black Dragon Mountain X81 slowly opened.

Just then, Jiang Lan saw several flying cars speeding towards them on the distant horizon.

"Come on, this is the planetary patrol team's vehicle."

Babata reminded him.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lan immediately crawled into the spaceship.

"withdraw."

It's better to avoid trouble. If I get caught by this patrol team, I'll inevitably face another round of trouble.

The hatch closed, and the spaceship took off directly under Babata's control.

"Have they caught up yet?"

"Don't worry, they're still a long way from catching up with me."

As Babata finished speaking, the spaceship's exterior simulation automatically activated.

Jiang Lan then realized that the spaceship had already broken through the planet's atmosphere and was about to enter space.

It's a spaceship after all; look at that starting speed.

Having shaken off the patrol team, Jiang Lan felt relieved, crossed the passage, and returned to the cockpit.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Jiang Lan asked:

"Next, shall we go to Qiulong Star?"

"Yes, Qiulong Star is about 23 light-years away from here. At the speed of the spaceship, it will take about seven days to get there."

Jiang Lan nodded slightly.

There's really nothing interesting inside this spaceship.

Seven days...

But there's nothing we can do about it.

Once he arrived on Qiulong Star and obtained his identity and virtual universe account, he would be able to enter the virtual universe at any time.

This virtual universe is a network shared by the entire universe.

Like the Ares Palace, it is a completely virtual reality.

However, the virtual universe covers the entire universe, making it much larger than the Ares Palace.

Within the virtual universe, it is not only the same as the real world, but also allows communication with countless races that exist within the virtual universe.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a second real world.

Moreover, in the virtual universe, there are things like online shopping, entertainment, and games—if you can think of it, there's nothing that doesn't exist in the virtual universe.

Jiang Lan felt a faint sense of anticipation.

However, after his thoughts drifted for a while, he was pulled back to reality.

"I'm about to break through to the Star Realm, don't disturb me."

On the virtual screen in front of Jiang Lan, a chibi version of Babata's avatar immediately appeared.

The profile picture has wide eyes.

"You've broken through?"

"Um."

He still has a full three hundred Body Tempering Pills in his system inventory.

Moreover, Jiang Lan's strength at this time was already half of that of a ninth-level planetary being.

A breakthrough is definitely achievable.

"You... never mind, don't worry, I won't bother you." Babata's voice rang out directly through the speakers around the cockpit. "But do you want to go to the rest room next door to break through? Don't worry, I'm here in the control room, nothing will go wrong."

Jiang Lan looked around, nodded, and stood up from the driver's seat.

Although the driver's cab is quite spacious and the seats are fairly comfortable.

No matter how comfortable a chair is, it's not as comfortable as a bed!

Pushing open the cockpit door, Jiang Lan walked to the rest room next to it.

This lounge is also filled with a futuristic, high-tech feel.

In addition, probably because it had already been cleaned up by Babata, the place was not only exceptionally tidy, but also contained a considerable amount of personal belongings.

They are indeed intelligent life forms; they've thought of everything quite thoroughly.

Jiang Lan sighed for a moment and sat down on the soft bed.

With a thought, a handful of Body Tempering Pills appeared in his hand.

The Body Tempering Pills melt instantly upon entering the mouth, but if you want to break through to the next level, these few pills are far from enough.

Just like breaking through to the planetary realm, the celestial realm cannot be broken through so easily.

Either you have the strength to break through the pass, or the opportunity has arrived.

As for the later levels, they are even more complicated.

For those who have achieved immortality or beyond, while personal strength is important for further advancement, comprehending various laws is even more crucial.

If you can't comprehend the laws, you'll be stuck at your current level until you die of old age.

As Jiang Lan grabbed a Body Tempering Pill and popped it into his mouth, his mind wandered to all sorts of random thoughts.

Finally, after consuming the 280th Body Tempering Pill, Jiang Lan's expression suddenly turned serious. He sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and began to internally examine the situation within his dantian.

As a large amount of cosmic energy was absorbed by the planet within his dantian, the planet finally seemed to have reached its limit.

The nine planets were moving faster and faster until, eventually, even Jiang Lan could no longer see them clearly.

And it seemed that a source of gravity had appeared in the center of his dantian.

As the nine planets rotated, they slowly moved closer to the center of Jiang Lan's dantian.

Moments later, the nine planets collided with each other.

"boom!"

A tremendous explosion resounded within Jiang Lan's dantian, and the nine planets instantly shattered into fragments, scattering like fireworks.

But soon, under the influence of gravity at the center of Jiang Lan's dantian, those fragments reassembled and transformed into a huge sphere.

The sphere keeps compressing and getting smaller, smaller and smaller.

In the end, the sphere composed of nine planetary fragments was compressed to the size of a marble.

Jiang Lan held her breath.

To be done!

The sphere continued to shrink until it became an almost invisible point.

"boom!!!!!"

The explosion was even more violent than when the planets collided earlier.

A large amount of bluish-purple light, carrying mist, suddenly exploded, making it impossible for Jiang Lan to even see the situation inside his dantian for a moment.

After a long while, everything finally returned to calm.

Jiang Lan also saw it clearly.

Within his dantian, a star emitting a strong bluish-purple light slowly rotated.

Beside this star are several planets of varying sizes, constantly revolving around it.

A celestial level, achieved!
