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

Outside the Blood Luo World, in the void.

"Whoosh!"

Ye Feng's figure broke through the last layer of cloud barrier and stood steadily in the cold void.

The tension eased slightly: "We're safe now."

Immediately afterward, suppressing his elation, he eagerly checked the equipment effects of the 4.6 Blood Crystals.

The next instant, a hint of shock flashed in Ye Feng's sword-like eyes, followed by ecstatic joy.

[Equipable Item: Blood Crystal * 46581]

[Equipment Effect: Fusion of the power of 4 innate beast gods, increasing the level of life genes by 200 times!]

[Note: This equipment is available permanently after 40 epochs. Tempering your will or increasing the number of Blood Crystals fused can shorten the time required.]

The power of the Beast God has reached a new level, reaching 4 groups.

A thread, a strand, a clump—even just considering the surface meaning, one can understand the difference between them.

What made Ye Feng even happier was that after equipping the device, his life gene level broke through the 100-fold limit of the original universe rules, reaching 200 times!

This confirms Ye Feng's hypothesis that as long as there are enough Blood Crystals, the life gene boost after equipping them can continue to increase significantly.

200 times,

300 times,

……

500 times,

1000 times...

Even stronger!

This is a multiplier of life genes! It multiplies one's compatibility with the universe, strengthens the soul, enhances the body, and so on...

In short, both cultivation efficiency and actual combat power will increase exponentially!

Compared to this huge increase, the solidification time of 40 epochs is of no concern.

As he hones his will and fuses more Blood Crystals, the acceleration factor for the remaining solidification time will also increase exponentially, potentially requiring only a few thousand, a few hundred, or even less time to complete the solidification process.

Even if we can't shorten the time that much, it's okay.

Not to mention the fusion of the beast god's power after equipping it, just the fact that it increases the level of life genes by hundreds or thousands of times is enough to make Ye Feng use up an equipment slot for it, occupying and locking it for a long time!

Ye Feng regretted it, regretting how he had provoked Tai Yun, this super genius!

If you go to a world city ruled by an ordinary world lord, you can still happily harvest Blood Crystals without worrying about being wanted by the Immortal Temple and being forced to temporarily leave the Blood World.

Ye Feng was filled with regret...

"Whoosh—"

A figure appeared beside Ye Feng without warning, causing subtle ripples in the space, as if he was meant to be there.

"Huh?!" Ye Feng, who was on edge, suddenly narrowed his eyes and his primal force surged, almost instinctively wanting to unleash an attack!

"Your Highness Ye Feng." The newcomer's voice was gentle, yet carried an undeniable penetrating power. He was clad in silver scale armor, with a handsome face and a scrutinizing yet slightly curious gaze as he stared directly at Ye Feng. He said, "I am Tian Yi of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace, invited to meet you by order of the Palace Master."

"Palace Master?" Ye Feng's heart skipped a beat.

Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace!

One of the top cosmic overlords of the human race, he is stationed here to monitor the Blood Luo World for billions of epochs. He is a true giant-level existence of the Virtual Universe Company!

The shock lasted only a moment.

Ye Feng quickly calmed himself down—behind him stood the Lord of Chaos City, a being even more transcendent than the Lord of Heavenly Eclipse Palace.

He nodded slightly: "Okay."

Since we've already entered their territory, there's no harm in meeting this overlord. Besides, the storm sparked by Taiyun's death means we can't go to the Blood Luo World for the time being.

"A miscalculation... I should have gone to the Ancient God Ruins to temper my will before venturing into that World City." A trace of regret flashed through Ye Feng's mind.

"This Taiyun is really something. Why can't he just stay in his Immortal Temple and be a genius?"

Why insist on placing it outside the World City?

He even deliberately concealed his identity as an elder's disciple from his subordinates; otherwise... how could things have come to this!

"It doesn't matter if you lose your life."

"You're wasting my time! Don't you care?!"

Ye Feng silently complained a few times in his heart before composing himself.

Regret is useless.

Ye Feng followed Tianyi, passing through layers of magnificent palaces, all the way to the ninth floor.

The ninth floor of the Celestial Eclipse Palace.

The moment Ye Feng stepped inside, he felt his own insignificance. The vast hall stretched for thousands of kilometers in length, width, and height, large enough to contain stars! His gaze was instantly drawn to the figure at the far end of the hall.

He wore a long silver robe. The robe appeared simple at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it seemed to contain countless cosmic illusions, with golden threads appearing and disappearing, mysterious and unfathomable. With his back to Ye Feng, gazing at the endless void beyond the palace, his figure seemed even more profound and expansive than the vast emptiness itself!

"Hmm... its power far surpasses that of Teacher Nine Swords, but is slightly inferior to Teacher Chaos." Ye Feng quickly made a judgment.

"Palace Master!" Tianyi said respectfully.

"Go." A clear, gentle voice, like the breeze rustling through a bamboo grove, rang out.

Tianyi transformed into a stream of light and disappeared, while the light curtain at the entrance to the ninth floor swirled and completely sealed off.

The figure slowly turned around.

He was of average height, with shoulder-length brown hair, radiant skin, and deep, unfathomable black eyes. A vertical line between his brows added to his imposing presence. Standing there, he seemed to bear the weight of the entire starry sky, making everyone feel insignificant and humbled.

"Buzz—"

Ye Feng's proud Marquis-level will flickered violently like a candle flame in the wind, and cold sweat instantly seeped from his forehead!

The opponent's will, emanating naturally, had already shaken his mind!

"Ye Feng greets the Palace Master!" He suppressed his heart palpitations and bowed respectfully.

"Your willpower is quite impressive." The Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace nodded slightly, a faint smile appearing on his handsome face.

He pointed to an ancient-style prayer cushion in the center of the hall: "Sit." As soon as he finished speaking, he sat down comfortably.

Ye Feng was flattered, but without the slightest hesitation, he sat down calmly.

"Before you entered Chaos City, there was considerable controversy surrounding you within the Virtual Universe Company." The Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master's gaze was calm, yet it seemed to pierce through people's hearts.

"Some people believe that your rise to prominence was too rapid, relying on fortuitous encounters, and that your talent and foundation are far inferior to those of Bolan and Luo Feng. They believe that in time, your true colors will be revealed."

"Some are optimistic, saying you are a late bloomer who will one day achieve enlightenment."

"I, like the Nine Swords, belong to the latter." A deep, yet slightly playful, glint flashed in his eyes.

"It's a pity that Jiu Jian's talent is mediocre, but his eye for taking disciples... is quite good."

Ye Feng: "..." He really didn't know how to respond to that.

The Nine Swords Venerable treated him well.

"You've caused quite a stir in the Blood Luo World," the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master said, her tone shifting with a hint of scrutiny.

"It's a pity you didn't enter the ruins of the ancient gods and the temple of immortality. With your abilities, that's where the real opportunity lies."

"Your Majesty is wise." Ye Feng readily admitted, a trace of regret stirring within him, and he couldn't help but ask, "May I ask Your Majesty... if I may enter the Blood Luo World again?"

The Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace smiled calmly: "In terms of the rules, there is nothing wrong with it. However, you need to understand the advantages and disadvantages involved." He waved his sleeve lightly.

hum!

In the center of the main hall, a huge light screen unfolded, the clouds and mist dispersed, and the entire Blood Luo Continent was clearly revealed.

In the direction of the ancient god ruins and the immortal temple, hundreds of dazzling scarlet lights, like an enraged swarm of bees, were radiating and sweeping wildly in all directions from the center of Taiyun World City!

"These are all immortal gods." The Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master's voice was calm, yet as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Ye Feng gasped, "They actually mobilized such a force?!"
