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

It was midnight in Xifeng City.

A figure as dark as the night silently slipped past the heavily guarded area and infiltrated the core area of ​​the city lord's mansion.

Ye Feng's mental power had already transformed into an invisible and intangible, intricate net covering an area of ​​several kilometers.

Everything within the mansion—the footsteps of the patrolling guards, the breathing of the hidden agents, the murmurs of the servants, and even the night breeze flowing between the pavilions and terraces—is meticulously captured in the "net."

He moved like a ghost through the complex structure of the mansion. He avoided things whenever possible, his figure as swift as smoke, leaving no trace. When there was no way to avoid a sentry post, a barely perceptible soul impact containing the will of a marquis-level official silently swept past, and the target instantly collapsed and fell unconscious like a puppet with its strings cut, without even having time to sound the alarm.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the heavy stone gate in the inner courtyard, engraved with the emblem of the Xifeng family, was already in sight.

Inside the gate lay our target – the Lord of Xifeng City!

Inside, the room was dimly lit. The Lord of Xifeng City leaned lazily against a soft couch covered with thick animal hides, while two young girls, dressed only in thin gauze and with tender faces, carefully massaged his shoulders and back. The air was filled with the smell of wine and a hint of luxurious sweetness.

Suddenly, the city lord's half-closed, drunken eyes snapped open, flashing with a sharp light!

A powerful, earth-yellow domain force, originating from a ninth-level Domain Lord and as heavy as the earth, suddenly erupted! Like an invisible mountain collapsing, the two planetary-level girls were knocked unconscious by the violent domain pressure without even uttering a sound!

"Who?!" the city lord shouted, his voice filled with shock, anger, and a barely perceptible sense of horror!

To be able to sneak in here silently is no small feat!

However, what responded to him was not the clash of swords, but a... soul-shaking impact!

A chilling soul impact, ignoring physical distance and the defenses of the earth domain, instantly pierced through the city lord's sea of ​​consciousness barrier!

"Ugh—!" The City Lord of Xifeng's eyes instantly lost focus, his pupils dilated, and all his shock, anger, horror, and even thoughts were completely shattered in the face of that absolutely crushing will! His tall body seemed to have all its bones removed, and he crashed to the cold jade ground, without making a sound.

The will of a Marquis at the pinnacle of immortality, coupled with the combat power of a Military Lord at the immortal level,

Knock out a ninth-level Domain Lord? Easier than knocking out an ant!

Ye Feng didn't even show his face; he simply knocked out this powerful figure who ruled over tens of millions of kilometers of territory with a pure surge of will.

With a thread of mental power, it probed into the city lord's chaotic sea of ​​consciousness and instantly locked onto the target information.

Immediately, an invisible force of thought lifted the spatial ring inlaid with an earth-yellow crystal from the city lord's finger.

call out!

The ring transformed into a barely perceptible stream of light, disappearing into Ye Feng's sleeve.

A few dozen breaths later, the same deathly silence enveloped the heavily guarded ancestral home of the Yilan Family, one of the three great families of Xifeng City. The old patriarch, who also possessed the strength of a Domain Lord, had silently followed in the footsteps of the City Lord of Xifeng.

The Blood Crystals have all changed hands.

……

Outside Xifeng City, in a dark and dense forest.

Ye Feng's figure flashed like a ghost, his palm open, and eight triangular prism-shaped crystals floated up, emitting a chilling crimson glow. The crystals were entirely red and translucent, with a strange liquid flowing inside them.

"Eight...not a bad harvest." Ye Feng's lips curled into a smile.

The night raid on the Xifeng City Lord's Mansion and the three major families went more smoothly than he had anticipated. These powerful figures, who held sway over their respective regions, were utterly powerless against the sudden attack by an immortal god-level being.

What pleased Ye Feng the most was that it didn't cause any commotion.

The less he makes a fuss, the lower the risk he exposes, the more lord cities he can hunt, and the more Blood Crystals he can harvest!

"Even a guy like Luo Feng from the 'Primordial Secret Realm' has managed to get tens of thousands of them."

I need at least 100,000 of them, otherwise, how can I live up to the name of 'Primordial Secret Realm'? The Star-Burning Spirit Vine won't allow it!"

Ye Feng was in a good mood and thought to himself, amusing himself.

Blood Crystal!

A priceless treasure coveted by countless powerful beings on the Blood Continent! Its effects extend beyond the level of life's genes, even reaching the level of Cosmic Venerables! For this reason, within the Virtual Universe Company, Blood Crystals are classified as strictly controlled prohibited items!

He came here only to seize resources, with no intention of causing bloodshed. Acting discreetly is the best way to avoid alarming the Realm Lord or even the Immortal Temple.

This is one of the reasons why those people weren't killed.

[Equipable Item: Blood Crystal * 1]

[Equipment Effect: Integrates with a trace of innate beast god power, increasing life gene level by 10%!]

[Note: The equipment lasts for 1 hour and can be obtained permanently. Tempering your will or increasing the number of Blood Crystals fused can shorten the time.]

"A wondrous creation..." Ye Feng murmured, his eyes gleaming.

"The equipment's effect... it can actually fuse with the power of a born beast god?!"

Born a beast god, born to be the master of the universe.

If the Flame Star Beast and the Golden Horned Beast are considered the darlings of the laws, then the Heavenly Destiny Beast God is the embodiment of the primordial laws!

The Beast Gods are special beings born with extraordinary abilities. Their entire bodies are treasures, containing incredible talents and powers that are fatally attractive to powerful beings in the primordial universe.

Each of the Heavenly Beast Gods, though a powerful ruler of the universe, was unfortunately besieged and killed by the super strongmen of various races.

Blood Crystal is a trace of power formed from the blood of the fallen Beast God of Gold.

Human beings, through various secret methods, can extract one drop of the Beast God's blood from 100 Blood Crystals.

Ye Feng was able to extract a trace of Beast God power from a single Blood Crystal. His extraction ability was clearly stronger, allowing him to directly obtain Beast God power.

Suddenly, Ye Feng thought of a possibility.

"From another perspective, Blood Crystals are products formed from a wisp of Beast God's power. One crystal is a wisp, and ten crystals are simply an increase in quantity; in essence, they are still formed from the blood of the Beast God!"

Ye Feng thought about it more and more and felt it was possible—for example, the Vulcan Weapon, which generates 10081 crystal leaves when activated, could not be counted as 10081 pieces of equipment.

"Try 8 pieces for the effect!"

As he thought about it, under Ye Feng's mental power, eight Blood Crystals floated in front of him, which were all he had at the moment.

[Equipable Item: Blood Crystal * 8]

[Equipment Effect: Integrates with a trace of innate beast god power, increasing life gene level by 3 times!]

[Note: This equipment is available for one week and can be obtained permanently. The time required can be shortened by honing your willpower or increasing the number of Blood Crystals fused.]

Ye Feng was overjoyed, "It really worked!"

Even if you put all 8 Blood Crystals together, they only add a little more Beast God Power. They are still considered as a whole and can be equipped in one equipment slot.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Feng's brows furrowed.

"Equipping 8 Blood Crystals together still only yields a trace of the Blood of the Fated Beast God."

Is it that there has been no improvement, or that the quantitative change has not been achieved?

However, the fact that the life gene multiplier has increased to 3 times is good news.

"The curing time has only been increased to one week."

This is very scientific. Although Ye Feng has never fused with the Blood Crystal, he is very confident in his will.

In the original storyline, Luo Feng's will, only slightly stronger than that of a peak Realm Lord, was enough to fuse two.

His will is hundreds or thousands of times stronger than the opponent's, there's no reason why he can't fuse seven or eight!
