Swallowing the Stars: Only in my later years did I come to the life-spending panel.

"Hand over the opportunities you gained inside!"

A burly, scarred ninth-level Star-rank martial artist stepped forward, wielding a gleaming giant axe. He pointed at Zhou Mu and roared, "Boy, your methods are indeed strange, managing to enter a hidden space that even cosmic-level warriors can't access. But no matter how strong you are, you're still just a Star-rank! Look around you! There are tens of thousands of elite ninth-level Star-rank martial artists here! You can't escape!"

"That's right! Hand over the spatial ring!"

"Hand over the treasure obediently, and we might spare your life!"

"A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime. This kind of opportunity is not something you can swallow alone. Let's all attack together, kill him, and divide the treasure equally!"

The single stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the densely packed army of martial artists around them immediately became noisy.

The combined force of tens of thousands of Star-level warriors creating such a terrifying array would be devastating. Even ordinary Universe-level powerhouses would be instantly reduced to cosmic dust if surrounded by tens of thousands of people, let alone Star-level warriors.

However, Zhou Mu, who was at the very center of the storm, did not change his expression at all.

His deep eyes coldly swept over the faces around him, blinded by greed, like a high god looking down on a group of ignorant ants.

"Master, these fools actually dared to try and rob you?"

In Zhou Mu's mind, the mocking laughter of the intelligent life form, Lord Mist, echoed, "Should this old servant secretly mobilize the defensive weapons of the realm within a realm to evaporate all these arrogant ants?"

"Why waste the energy of the Realm Within a Realm to deal with a bunch of trash?" Zhou Mu responded calmly in his mind, a chilling smile curving his lips.

He slowly raised his head and looked up at the thick, inky, violently churning thunderclouds above him.

"Since you all enjoy the opportunities in Wind and Thunder Canyon so much..."

Zhou Mu's voice wasn't loud, but enveloped in the Force, it clearly reached the ears of everyone present, carrying a chilling calmness: "Then I'll be merciful and let you experience it for yourselves."

Stop playing tricks! Everyone, let's smash him to pieces!

The scarred-faced warrior sensed something was off about Zhou Mu's gaze and a dangerous premonition rose in his heart. He immediately roared and swung his giant axe, unleashing a dazzling blade of light tens of meters long!

"kill!!!"

Accompanied by deafening battle cries, tens of thousands of martial artists launched their attacks simultaneously. Multicolored Force rays and an overwhelming barrage of psychic weapons, like a meteor shower during the apocalypse, converged on Zhou Mu's location with frenzied fire!

Faced with this devastating volley of fire, Zhou Mu didn't even flinch.

"Ignorance is your greatest death warrant."

In that instant, Zhou Mu's eyes were filled with dazzling purplish-black lightning. He suddenly opened his arms, and his lightning domain, which was at the ninth level of perfection, expanded outward without reservation, like a miniature star that exploded. In an instant, it resonated with the lightning clouds above the Wind and Thunder Valley, which had accumulated for many years and contained endless destructive power, in an absolute law-based resonance!

Rumble—!!!

At this moment, the entire Wind and Thunder Canyon seemed to be facing a true apocalyptic catastrophe.

The thunderclouds, which were originally just rolling in the sky, were instantly out of control under the forceful pull and detonation of Zhou Mu's lightning laws!

Suddenly, a white light, ten thousand times more dazzling than the stars, illuminated the heavens and earth. Immediately afterwards, tens of thousands of dark purple lightning bolts, as thick as buckets, poured down from the sky like countless roaring, world-destroying dragons! A reading feast: a vast collection of books, an ultimate experience.

"What is that?!"

"Oh my god! Thunderclouds are descending!"

"No! This is impossible! How could the lightning in Wind and Thunder Canyon suddenly go berserk?!"

The tens of thousands of martial artists who were originally full of momentum and ready to blast Zhou Mu into dust, had their greed in their eyes instantly replaced by endless despair and fear when they saw the thunderous waterfall that blotted out the sky and slashed down.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The power of thunder is unstoppable! These natural lightning bolts, containing the power of the universe's origin, have become even more powerful under the enhancement of Zhou Mu's understanding of the laws.

The colorful Force attacks were torn apart and disintegrated the moment they came into contact with the lightning.

"ah!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream instantly echoed throughout the canyon.

Dark purple lightning bolts mercilessly struck the most densely populated area of ​​the crowd.

Protective Force? As flimsy as paper! Tier 3 Force armor? Melted instantly under the raging heat!

In a single exchange, the thousands of ninth-tier Hengxing martial artists who were at the forefront and shouting the loudest didn't even have a chance to resist. Under the world-destroying baptism of lightning, they were turned into black ash scattered across the sky. The scarred-faced martial artist who was leading the charge was struck by three bolts of lightning simultaneously, and he and his axe were instantly vaporized, leaving no trace of his body.

[Slay a ninth-tier martial artist of the Constant Star level and plunder 8323 years of remaining lifespan]

......

However, this was only the beginning of a one-sided massacre.

"The killing has only just begun."

Zhou Mu's cold voice pierced through the thunder, echoing across the battlefield where flesh and blood were flying everywhere.

"Buzz—"

Before him, the space distorted slightly, and a third-tier psychic weapon exuding a chilling aura—the Thunder Prison Drill—appeared out of thin air!

With the infusion of Zhou Mu's immense spiritual power, the Thunder Prison Drill instantly disintegrated, transforming into one hundred and eight thin, cicada-wing-like, sharp blades shimmering with deadly purple light. Under the perfect control of the lightning domain and the power of laws, these one hundred and eight blades combined in an incomparably profound trajectory, transforming into a gigantic, rapidly spinning, purplish-black drill!

"go!"

Zhou Mu pointed.

The Thunder Prison Drill emitted a sharp, ear-piercing screech, transforming into a purple streak of light that instantly plunged into the already routed crowd!

Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!

The Thunder Prison Drill was incredibly fast, so fast that ordinary Star-level martial artists couldn't even track its trajectory. It was like a tireless super meat grinder, frantically weaving through the crowd. Wherever it passed, whether it was hard skulls, heavy armor, or weapons used for defense, everything was easily sliced ​​apart by the high-speed spinning lightning blades as if cutting tofu!

Blood gushed forth like a fountain, and severed limbs flew everywhere. Each piercing of the Thunder Prison Drill claimed dozens of lives, leaving behind a series of heart-wrenching screams.

As lives vanished in Zhou Mu's hands, countless streams of data flashed across the panel.

While controlling the Thunder Prison Drill to carry out a large-scale harvest, Zhou Mu himself was not idle either.

He suddenly grabbed at the air with his right hand, and a long spear, crackling with violent purple lightning and with a sharp, pointed tip, appeared in his hand.

A Tier 3 Superior Force Weapon – Purple Thunder Dragon Spear!

"Those who block my way, die!"

Zhou Mu moved like lightning, transforming into a streak of purple light, and charged alone into the remaining formation of tens of thousands of people.
