Swallowing the Stars: Equipment Slots, Starting with a Genius Battle

Ye Feng did as instructed, gently touching the surface with his soul power.

The Soul Tear instantly disappeared into the space between the eyebrows, transforming into a cool, star-studded curtain of water in the deepest part of the sea of ​​consciousness, gently and unbreakably protecting the core of the soul within.

Ye Feng's mind raced—this was the Lord of Chaos City, worried that he would follow in Kodi's footsteps, suffer soul enslavement, and be unable to even be resurrected!

"Thank you for your generous gift, Lord City Lord!"

The Lord of Chaos City raised his hand to support Ye Feng, his gentle strength lifting him up. His tone was half serious and half playful: "In the past, I demonstrated the true meaning of two diagrams from the Chaos Stele for you. Strictly speaking, I can also be considered your... half master."

Ye Feng, being so insightful, did not hesitate upon hearing this. He knelt on one knee and performed the grand ceremony of becoming a disciple, his voice resounding throughout the Chaos Ruins:

"Disciple Ye Feng greets Master!"

"Good! Hahaha!" The Chaos City Lord roared with laughter, his voice echoing through the ruins. "Today, I will accept you as my disciple!"

Ye Feng suddenly looked up, his gaze intense: "Master! Now that I have become your disciple..."

"Could you... bestow the Heavenly Fire Chaos Stele upon my disciple?!"

The laughter abruptly stopped!

The Chaos City Lord's eyes, which seemed to contain an endless galaxy, stared intently at Ye Feng with disbelief, as if seeking confirmation:

"What...what did you just say?"

Ye Feng felt a slight chill run down his spine from that gaze, but for the sake of the Chaos Monument, he gritted his teeth and repeated:

"Disciple humbly begs Master to bestow upon you the Heavenly Fire Chaos Stele!"

"Hmm... I didn't mishear." The Lord of Chaos City murmured, then a deep sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart, his voice carrying a rare hint of bitterness:

"Ye Feng, do you know that the Chaos Stele is the foundation of the clan's protection?"

The fifty-two steles bear witness to fifty-two direct paths to the Lord of the Universe!

It is the culmination of humanity's greatest wisdom and the cradle for nurturing future generations of geniuses!

Each and every one of them represents the very essence and lifeblood of our human race!

……

The Lord of Chaos City reprimanded him for a full half hour.

Ye Feng knew that the Lord of Chaos City truly regarded him as a disciple, and his "rebellious" request had indeed made this pillar of humanity somewhat vulnerable.

However, he was determined to obtain the Heavenly Fire Chaos Stele! It was just a matter of what the cost would be!

"Master," Ye Feng's gaze sharpened as he looked directly at the Chaos City Lord, "please tell me, what price must this disciple pay to exchange for this stele?"

The Chaos City Lord, not expecting such persistence, suppressed the absurdity in his heart and said in a deep voice, "Ten thousand Treasure Points! Or a top-tier treasure! I can overcome all objections and obtain it for you!"

This is an exorbitant price, intended to deter them from further action.

Ye Feng shook his head decisively: "Master, although the Heavenly Fire Chaos Stele is precious, it is absolutely not worth this price. 10 Treasure Points or a defensive treasure would be fair."

Chaos City Lord: "..."

bargain?!

He, a pillar of the human race, was actually discussing business with his disciple because of the Chaos Stele.

The Chaos City Lord's aura instantly returned to calm, his gaze seemingly able to pierce through time and space, thoroughly scrutinizing Ye Feng inside and out.

After a long silence, a soft sigh escaped:

"So be it... Everyone has their own secrets. Ye Feng, since you are my disciple, I will not ask you why you asked for the monument, nor will I deceive you."

"3 Treasure Points! Or one common Treasure! The Heavenly Fire Chaos Stele... is yours!"

The Chaos Stele is certainly not astronomically valuable.

It was created by an extremely powerful being who used unparalleled means to condense a complete path of laws into a diagram.

The Heavenly Fire Stele is only of average quality among the fifty-two steles, inferior to top-tier steles such as the Giant Axe Stele and the Universe Stele.

It consumes resources, but only 2-3 Treasure Points. The trouble is that it requires mobilizing a super being to condense them.

Since his disciple Ye Feng insisted, he gave him the lowest price.

Such a treasure, how could Ye Feng possibly come into contact with it in such a short time?

Given enough time, I might not want it anymore.

The Lord of Chaos City attributed Ye Feng's demand for the Chaos Stele to youthful impulsiveness.

"3 Treasure Points... Okay!" Ye Feng agreed without hesitation!

In his eyes, exchanging 3 Treasure Points for a piece of "equipment" that leads directly to the Lord of the Universe was a huge win!

Even though earning Treasure Points is difficult, once the Primal Star opens in the future, with his strength, he will surely be able to acquire enough wealth.

If it's truly insufficient... borrow from Luo Feng! Borrow from Master! With the potential he's demonstrated, why worry about not having creditors?

The Chaos City Lord was speechless as he watched his newly accepted disciple solemnly agree, as if the 3 Treasure Points were already his for the taking.

Is this child truly determined to use his most precious treasure to purchase the Chaos Stele in the future?

……

Dark universe.

A F3-class spaceship bearing the logo of Virtual Universe Corporation—the "Moye"—is tearing through the void of the dark universe and accelerating wildly!

Twenty times the speed of light... fifty times... up to ninety times the speed of light! This is the vehicle that Ye Feng redeemed with 700,000 points.

Objective: The Primordial Realm, the Blood Luo World!

The Primordial Realm is about 1.2 million light-years away from the headquarters, and even traveling at fifty times the speed of light, it would take more than a month.

Instead of going to the Primordial Secret Realm with the Nine Swords Venerable, he went alone straight to the Blood Luo World—a famously dangerous cultivation world in the Primordial Secret Realm!

Among them is something he is determined to obtain!

Blood Crystal!

This is the crystallized blood of the Beast God! One hundred Blood Crystals can be used to extract one drop of true [Beast God's Blood]!

The Beast God of Gold is a super being at the level of a cosmic lord! If the Golden Horned Beast is the darling of the origin of gold, then the Beast God is the embodiment of the origin of gold!

How could Ye Feng miss such an opportunity?

Not to mention, the blood-red crater formed by the beast god's hoofprint is a treasure trove for tempering one's will!

And those ancient world cities scattered across the continent...

For ordinary cosmic-level geniuses, the Blood Luo World is a trial ground for life and death.

For a "cosmic-level genius" like Ye Feng, whose combat power has reached the level of an immortal god, it is a treasure trove waiting to be developed... an unclaimed treasure trove!

Inside the spaceship's quiet chamber, Ye Feng accessed the Blood Luo World's backend management interface, where information flowed like a waterfall.

Disguise preparations are underway. The Bloodlust world harbors extreme hatred for "outsiders"! Any technological creations are prohibited! Special telekinetic or force weapons are also forbidden unless they are already native to the world! You must completely blend into the native attire.

Once the iconic Vulcan Weapon is used, it will inevitably be hunted down relentlessly! Although Ye Feng was confident, he was not arrogant enough to think he could directly confront all the immortal powerhouses in the Blood Luo World.

To cause trouble? We should wait until everything is in place and we're about to leave before we go all out!

"It's much safer and more convenient if you have enough inventory space..."

Ye Feng stroked a spatial ring, inside which was a skin for a World Lord-level Demon Slayer Clan worth 18 points.

The Demon Slayer Clan, favored by space, possesses abilities such as stealth, assassination, and appearance transformation, making them the strongest assassination race in the universe.

If Ye Feng were equipped with this World Lord-level Demon Slayer skin, he would have no worries whatsoever when venturing into the Bloodstained Luo World.

Unfortunately, his equipment inventory is currently full, and it will take him quite some time to free it up.

Ye Feng pondered for a moment, then quickly selected a set of Blood Luo World standard armor and boots, and equipped himself with a set of local-style Tier 5 Force weapons. Ye Feng opened the mission list and accepted the Blood Luo World mission.

Among the 186 dangerous missions, Bloodloo's world ranking may not be top-tier, but in his eyes, its potential value far exceeds that of many extreme missions! The danger is manageable, and the rewards are astonishing—how could he miss it?

Open the task details:

Bloodlust World: An ancient continent born from a primordial secret realm, with a history surpassing that of the oldest cosmic kingdoms in human history. Within it, human civilization forms a self-contained system, and there is an extreme reverence for power.

Training tasks:

Obtain one Blood Crystal (Quest Reward: 1 Points)

Obtain the title "Blood Warrior" and receive the Blood Luo Medal (Quest Reward: 10 points) (Note: 99.5% of those who accept the quest only complete the first quest).

Completing any one of them constitutes a successful task.

Ye Feng has accepted the mission and is currently studying the Xue Luo language and culture in depth.
