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

Ye Feng thought for a moment and opened the equipment panel.

"His current strength rivals that of a newly ascended immortal god!"

Ye Feng was very satisfied with the improvement in his strength.

More satisfactory curing progress, and also a significant increase.

Because of the fusion with the Blood Crystal, and the tempering of will, in just three months, the solidification time of the Hundred Tribulations Heart Essence was shortened by nearly 300 years, and the solidification time of the Flame Star Beast's Life Core was shortened by more than 2000 years.

Ye Feng could already see the light at the end of the tunnel when his equipment slots were empty, and he could finally equip the next piece of gear.

...Taiyun City, the main hall of the city lord's mansion.

Taiyun, dressed in a black robe, stood at the head of the hall, his fierce aura stagnating in the air.

He looked down and saw a group of men in black robes kneeling on the ground, trembling, their voices like ice scraping against metal.

"Half a month! A whole half a month! And this is all the worthless news you've brought me?"

Tai Yun's voice wasn't loud, but the pressure it contained, befitting a World Lord-level expert, caused the souls of those below to tremble slightly.

"Can't even find a single useful clue! A bunch of useless idiots!!"

The kneeling officials of Taiyun City were like ants in a storm, not daring to even breathe.

They felt a bitter taste in their mouths: that mysterious expert was able to silently take down dozens of domain lords and city lords, his strength was unfathomable, and he was very likely a realm lord!

Let them investigate? That's tantamount to sending them to their deaths! Getting scolded is better than losing your life.

Ye Feng's actions were eventually exposed.

In the world of Bloodlust, war and conflict are constant.

Under normal circumstances, it would only involve looting about 50 lord cities, which wouldn't cause any significant disturbance and wouldn't amount to much.

However, among the lords and city lords who were attacked, there was Taiyun's former personal guard.

It is still a critical moment for Taiyun.

"What a joke!" Taiyun took a step forward, and the hard jade ground beneath his feet cracked silently. "In Taiyun World, more than a thousand lord cities! In three months, fifty of them were plundered! Those useless city lords and family patriarchs were like wild beasts waiting to be slaughtered in front of them, powerless to fight back, and were stripped naked!"

Those world lords around here are probably laughing their heads off! And you…”

His gaze, sharp as a knife, swept over the crowd. "Useless! Fine, very well!"

The hall was deathly silent, with only the sound of suppressed breathing.

"Useless trash!" Tai Yun roared. "Get out! Issue my order: post bounty notices throughout the city! The murderer possesses peak Domain-level strength! Distribute his portrait to all cities immediately!"

His voice was cold, carrying an unquestionable decisiveness:

"A million coins will be awarded to anyone who provides a valid clue!"

"Whoever pinpoints its exact location will be rewarded with one hundred million coins! A luxurious mansion in the heart of Taiyun City will be granted! Eight thousand servants and eight thousand elite guards will also be provided!"

"Yes, sir!" The crowd below was shocked and dizzy from the huge reward. They hurriedly responded and scrambled out of the hall, afraid that they would anger the raging beast if they were too slow.

Only Taiyun and four Realm Lord-level guards standing like statues remained in the hall, their auras heavy and imposing.

"Young Master, this is a trivial matter. Why get angry? You can leave it to your subordinates. Why do you need to arrange it personally?" A seemingly honest middle-aged man bowed and said.

He truly couldn't understand why the young master was so furious when it was just a matter of dozens of domain lords being robbed—it couldn't possibly be a big deal!

Taiyun glanced at him, his eyes sharp as lightning: "A trivial matter? Hmph! A few good-for-nothings around here are laughing at me, but I, Taiyun, don't even care! But you should know why we left the resource-rich land of the temple and came to this Taiyun World City!"

It's for training, to fight for a candidate for elder before Elder Sun steps down! If this matter isn't resolved with swift and decisive action, how will my 'rivals' and those old fogies in the temple, waiting to see me fail, kick me while I'm down?

His face was ashen, and his breathing grew increasingly volatile. "It must be resolved! And quickly! Ruthlessly! We can't leave a single clue!"

The four bodyguards were all personally appointed by his teacher, Xi He, the Third Elder of the Immortal Temple, who was well aware of the implications. Face was a minor matter; securing a candidate for elder was of paramount importance!

"One day!" Tai Yun said decisively. "Give them one more day. If there's still no news, the four of you will lead the teams to guard the four directions! If another city is attacked, immediately use secret methods to contact them and surround them! I want to personally...tear them apart!"

"We will obey the young master's command!" The four realm lords bowed and accepted the order, their voices resounding.

Taiyun's figure flashed and disappeared from the hall.

The next moment, he appeared deep within the ancestral land of the Yun family in the east of the city, outside a secluded courtyard.

Before the guards could even reprimand him, the aura of a Realm Lord naturally spread out, instantly turning the two peak Domain Lord guards pale and forcing them to bow and retreat.

"Taiyun is here? Come in." An old but deep voice came from inside the main house of the villa.

Taiyun entered the quiet room.

On the jade-faced futon sat an old man with snow-white beard and eyebrows that reached the ground. The old man's face was as ruddy as a baby's, and there were faint projections of the world floating around him. His aura was obscure and profound. He was none other than the patriarch of the Yun family and Tai Yun's maternal uncle - the Realm Lord Yun Cangxi.

"Uncle." Taiyun suppressed his violent temper and sat down casually, but the seriousness between his brows remained.

Yun Cangxi waved his hand, and a cup of spiritual tea floated to Taiyun's front.

Taiyun drank it all in one gulp and praised, "Uncle's tea is getting better and better."

"Stop flattering me." Yun Cangxi laughed and scolded, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes. "With your arrogant nature, you never come here unless you need something."

"Speak, what makes you so grave? Why didn't you even use the main entrance and flew straight here to find me?!"

In the past, Taiyun maintained constant contact with the Yun family, always entering through the main gate to inform Taiyun and obtain permission before coming in to see him.

Now, if it's flying straight towards me, something terrible must have happened.

Tai Yun raised his hand, and a projection of a blue water world instantly enveloped the quiet room, isolating it from the outside world.

He then recounted the entire story of how the mysterious expert plundered more than fifty cities.

After listening, Yun Cangxi raised his long, snow-white eyebrows slightly: "I see. The commotion was considerable, but... it was just a robbery, not a serious injury. Why did it have to come to this?"

In his view, the looting of fifty cities was nothing more than a superficial wound to the deeply rooted Yun family and the World Lord.

In the world of Bloodlust, the law of the jungle prevails, and constant battles and conflicts rage on. In the countless world cities, a considerable number of lords are killed every single day.

The fact that 50 city lords were robbed is hardly a big deal. Why is his doting nephew making such a fuss and acting so seriously?!
