Swallowing the Stars: The Birth of a Cosmic God King

Kunlun Base City is located in the western part of Azure Star, on the edge of the Kunlun Plateau.

Plate tectonics has brought about tremendous changes to this land.

What was once a barren desert has now been transformed into a lush primeval forest.

Towering trees rose from the ruins.

Vines climbed over the collapsed skyscrapers, and the ruins of the steel forest were once again swallowed up by green life.

But beneath this vibrant green landscape lurks a deadly danger.

The monster density around Kunlun Base City is more than three times that of Nanjiang Base City.

The number of lord-level monsters is five times that of Nanjiang.

This is a truly high-risk area.

It is also a testing ground for the truly strong!

Under Zhou Zhengyuan's arrangement, Yan Ning was able to successfully log into the outer area without disturbing anyone.

Yan Ning himself did not intend to deal with the local councilors.

Low-key.

This is the principle that Yan Ning set for himself.

He didn't know what other underhanded tricks the Li family had up their sleeve, but in Inspector Qin's territory, keeping a low profile was always the best course of action.

The surrounding primeval forest blocks out the sun.

Sunlight could only filter through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled patterns of light.

The air was filled with a mixture of various odors, making it extremely unpleasant.

Yan Ning had only stepped into the dense forest less than two hundred meters when a dark shadow swooped down from the treetops above.

Advanced beast soldier, Ironclaw Ape.

Its speed was astonishing; its claws, accompanied by a piercing shriek as they tore through the air, hurtled straight toward Yan Ning's skull.

Yan Ning didn't even raise his head.

The blades of the curved blade disc moved automatically without wind, and a silver light flew out from the sleeve, piercing through the Iron Claw Ape's forehead and exiting from the back of its head.

"The local monsters are being rather impolite."

"Why did you launch a sneak attack as soon as you arrived?"

Yan Ning crouched down and skillfully peeled away the material with a dagger.

Ironclaw Ape claws are excellent material for crafting gauntlet-type weapons; a complete pair of claws can fetch between 15 and 20 Federal Credits.

Black God Set.

The tendrils of the Moyun Vine peeked out from the collar, like a small emerald green snake, reaching towards the corpse of the Ironclaw Ape.

The vines had just touched the corpse.

The still-warm body withered away at a visible speed, its life essence completely drained by the Moyun Vine, leaving only a pile of grayish-white bones and cracked skin.

"Not enough, not enough."

The cloud vine sent out its thoughts, carrying a restless desire for unfulfilled desires.

"That's too little, not even enough to fill a tooth gap! Master, I want more! More!"

Yan Ning patted it: "Don't rush, this is just the beginning, there'll be plenty for today!"

"By the way, Moyun..."

"Leave me the valuable parts: crystal cores, claws, fangs, scales—don't consume anything that can be sold for money. The life essence is yours, the materials are mine."

The vines of the Moyun Vine nodded, as if in agreement.

"Then..."

Yan Ning stood up, his gaze sweeping across the dark, dense forest ahead, a smirk playing on his lips. "Keep killing, killing, killing!"

He stepped into the depths of the dense forest.

Starting from the outskirts of Kunlun Base City, Yan Ning began a frenzied harvest.

Beast Soldier Class?

A knife.

The blades don't even need to be pulled out; the blades from the curved blade disc fly out, and it's over before you can even hear a scream.

The tendrils of the Moyun Vine followed closely behind, sucking the corpse dry, leaving only a pile of bones.

Beast General level?

It takes a little effort, but it's just a matter of one cut.

Even the curved cutter head is not needed.

Yan Ning hasn't fully mastered the first move of the Nine Blades of Meteorite, "Severing Flow," yet it's more than enough to deal with Beast General level opponents.

The blade sliced ​​through the scales and severed the bones!

The tendrils of the Moyun Vine would wrap around the corpse the moment Yan Ning sheathed his sword, draining all its life essence.

As for the Lord-level... that's the main event today.

......

Starting from the outskirts of Kunlun Base City, Yan Ning began a frenzied harvest.

Beast Soldier and Beast General level monsters were like ants in front of him; the blades of the curved blade disc flew out, and a pile of corpses fell.

The tendrils of the Moyun vine followed closely behind, drawing away all the essence of life.

But Yan Ning's attention remained focused on the deeper auras.

Lord level.

Only lord-level monsters can hone your swordsmanship!

On the third day after entering the Kunlun Mountains, we finally encountered a truly enormous creature.

The Ironclad Earth Dragon is over fifteen meters long and covered in black iron-colored scales, each scale the size of a palm and several inches thick.

It dwells in a valley.

The surrounding rocks were heated to a scorching temperature by its body heat.

Lord level, beginner.

Yan Ning stood above the valley, his mental energy sweeping over the enormous creature as he quickly estimated its value.

Ironclad Earth Dragon, Rank B Lord.

Scale armor is a top-tier material for crafting armor of A8 grade and above. A complete set of scale armor can fetch at least 200 million Federal Credits.

There are four fangs, each half a meter long and incredibly hard, making them an excellent material for crafting combat knives. Each fang is estimated at 20 million, so four fangs would be worth 80 million.

The crystal core contains enormous energy and is worth at least 1.5 million.

Blood from the heart can also strengthen the body; one dose is estimated to be worth 8000 million.

Its bones, tail spikes, eyeballs, and other miscellaneous materials could add up to 5 to 6000 million.

"This one is worth at least 6 million."

"A B-rank lord is indeed valuable."

Yan Ning licked his lips.

However, Yan Ning did not rush to make a move. Instead, he first observed the surrounding environment and, after confirming that there were no other lord-level monsters nearby, he drew his alloy battle sword from behind.

【Nine Blades of Meteorite Ink - Severing the Flow】

He wanted to use this armored earth dragon to test his sword!

The armored earth dragon seemed to sense a threat, raising its massive head and gazing upwards into the valley with its murky yellow eyes.

It let out a deep roar, the sound waves causing rocks to tumble down the hillside.

Yan Ning made a move.

His figure was like a streak of light, plunging straight down from the top of the valley.

The armored earth dragon reacted extremely quickly, its thick tail sweeping across with a sharp whistling sound.

The force of this tail is at least over a hundred tons, enough to turn a tank into scrap metal!

Yan Ning did a side somersault in mid-air.

It narrowly avoided the sweeping tail.

Using a touch of the rock face, it changed direction and instantly got close to the Ironclad Earth Dragon's neck.

The sword was drawn.

A thin layer of silver light clung to the blade.

It landed in the gap between the third and fourth scales on the Ironclad Earth Dragon's neck.

The power is cut off!

This strike did not cut flesh and bone, but "momentum"!

The armored earth dragon's turning head, roaring, and counterattack were all severed by this one slash!

The blade sliced ​​through the gaps in the scales and disappeared into the neck without any resistance.

Yan Ning twisted his wrist.

The blade sliced ​​a half-meter-long gash in the carotid artery of the armored earth dragon.

Blood gushed out.

The armored earth dragon let out a deafening scream, its massive body thrashing wildly, its tail and limbs flailing erratically, smashing the surrounding rocks to pieces.

But Yan Ning had already retreated dozens of meters away, coldly watching the giant beast make its final, death throes.

Thirty seconds later.

The armored earth dragon crashed to the ground, twitched a few times, and then stopped struggling.

Ironclad Earth Dragon, B-rank lord dead!

Yan Ning sheathed his sword and stepped forward.

The Moyun Vine couldn't wait to peek out from his collar, its tendrils wrapping around the corpse of the Ironclad Earth Dragon.

Yan Ning quickly pressed it down.

"etc."

"Let me peel off the materials first."

It took nearly an hour to peel all the valuable materials off the armored earth dragon.

"Scales worth 2 million, fangs worth 8000 million, crystal cores worth 1.5 million, heart-shaped gems worth 8000 million, and miscellaneous items worth 5000 million."

Yan Ning packed the items while calculating the bill.

"This one, 560 million!"

Adding the materials from the beast soldiers and generals we killed earlier, this trip has already brought us close to 700 million!

Yan Ning patted his bulging backpack with satisfaction.

Then he nodded to Moyun Teng:

"Alright, eat up."

The tendrils of the Moyun Vine instantly wrapped around the corpse of the Ironclad Earth Dragon.

The enormous body shrank at a visible rate.

A minute or two later.

Moyun Teng let out a burp, and the golden veins on its vines brightened a bit, conveying a sense of satisfaction.

"Master, it's delicious! I want more!"

Yan Ning smiled and said, "Let's go, next one."
