Zerg Lord of the Devouring Stars

After answering Ming Yu, Jiang Chen from the Realm Within a Realm told Luo Feng, Mohanderson, and their group about it, letting them know that they were now all under Ming Yu's control.

"We've been in this interdimensional realm for eight days now, just slowly making our way through the outer regions, without ever entering the core. Now Brolin needs to gather his forces."

"Okay, we can head to the core area now and unlock the treasure."

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and made a decision.

The core region is where the most cosmic crystals are found.

However, during their eight days in the Realm Within a Realm, Jiang Chen and his group never dared to go to the core area because they guessed that the place was chaotic and bloody, and they could easily be surrounded.

Now things are different. Brolin will join forces with his large army, making himself able to surround the others.

Moreover, the 200 million-strong army that would enter through that entrance seven or eight days later would first appear in the surrounding area, leaving no choice but to go there.

I informed my fellow Earthlings, and we agreed to meet at the core of the realm within a realm.

Flying within the realm of realms, one would not encounter any ferocious beasts. However, although the army of 200 million had not yet arrived, there were already tens of thousands of star-level beings here, and the battles were extremely fierce.

In just six days, he was ambushed eighteen times, but Jiang Chen killed him every time.

The closer you get to the core area, the more adventurers there are who are ambushed and killed.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen had purchased warning devices in advance, Luo Feng had Babata for warning, and Mohanderson and his team also had small detection instruments.

With the addition of the C2-level laser gun, which kills anyone it shoots, they finally managed to survive the numerous ambushes without serious injury.

Jiang Chen looked up at the ball of light in the sky, a ball of light that looked like a star, located in the very core of the entire Realm Within a Realm.

Therefore, as long as they move towards the sphere of light, they will be heading towards the core area.

"Just the sheer quantity of cosmic crystals has driven these star-level adventurers mad," Jiang Chen remarked.

This is a world where people kill each other and steal treasures. If you don't kill him, he'll kill you and take your treasures.

These are all celestial beings, the strongest on ordinary planets, but they all went berserk in the face of the world's origin energy crystal condensed by the world lord.

The seventh day was also the most dangerous day.

Jiang Chen encountered a hunting party of more than 300 people, with 40 to 50 Hengxing-level beings all around him.

At that time, Jiang Chen dared not directly confront the enemy, and could only charge forward desperately!

They rushed into a dense forest.

Within the realm of spiritual power, the detection range of the Force is very small. How far can one see with just the eyes? This small team only saw a few people twice, and after chasing for a while, they stopped.

"Just a few little guys. Even if we kill them, we probably won't get any cosmic crystals. Let's go and continue the hunt!" The captain of the group of over three hundred people waved his hand and led several hundred Star-level Ninth Order warriors to continue their ambush nearby.

"Phew." Jiang Chen led Wu Xintong, Fang He, Brolin and the others to rest in the forest.

The situation just now was indeed dangerous. With so many people, even if you took out a laser gun, you couldn't kill many.

Jiang Chen had just planned to take out the spaceship and escape directly in it.

However, a storage device capable of holding a spaceship is also an absolute treasure, and it would attract even more people to attack it.

Therefore, escape first, and only use laser guns, spaceships, and other equipment if there is absolutely no other way.

Eight hours later.

Fang Qia respectfully handed Jiang Chen a spatial ring, "Master, this is their spatial ring."

"Alright, let me see—haha, I didn't expect this 18-person team to have 9000 cosmic crystals." Jiang Chen smiled and accepted them. Just as they were heading towards the core area, they encountered an 18-person team, 15 of whom were at the ninth level of the Hengxing Star.

Fifteen mere ninth-level Eternal Star cultivators were no match for him, an invincible Eternal Star cultivator who had crossed the threshold of the Flame Law, and were easily killed.

The last time I asked Luo Feng for help was to instantly kill Brolin's subordinates at the same time.

"Adding to the current 9000 cubic meters, we have a total of—" Jiang Chen thought for a moment, "In the first eight days, we mined 276800 cubic meters of cosmic crystals."

"During the seven days of travel, I mined nearly 54000 cubic meters of cosmic crystals along the way. Previously, I had turned the tables on six ambushing teams, obtaining nearly 200800 cubic meters of cosmic crystals. Adding today's 9000 cubic meters, the total—haha, over 54 cubic meters!"

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up. "Wow, just a casual dig and there are so many cosmic crystals!"

More than 18 cubic meters of cosmic crystals—this is an enormous fortune, an astronomical figure even for the "Nolan Mountain Family".

"An ordinary life-bearing planet can fetch around trillions of Black Dragon Coins."

The amount above is 100 million Black Dragon Coins, which is equivalent to 700 million Qianwu Coins.

1000 life-bearing planets, worth 7000 billion Qianwu coins.

18 cubic meters of cosmic crystals are not much different from 7000 billion Qianwu coins.

In other words, Jiang Chen has now unearthed 3000 life-bearing planets.

The assets of the Norlhan family amount to only a little over a thousand inhabited planets.

"However, compared to the treasures of the entire Realm Within a Realm, these are just a drop in the ocean." Jiang Chen smiled slightly and continued to lead his men forward quickly.

As darkness fell, Jiang Chen and his group finally arrived at the core area. At this time, the wealth in his hands exceeded 55 cubic meters of the core area of ​​the cosmic crystal realm. This was a wide plain covered with strange, low-lying flowers and grasses.

In the darkness, with only a sliver of light, Tianling and his companions could barely see within a few hundred meters of their surroundings. At a glance, they could see thirty corpses lying within that mere few hundred meters.

Jiang Chen and the others cautiously made their way towards the very center of the core area.

In the places they passed through, they would occasionally see deep pits on the plains created by the excavation of cosmic crystals, and around these pits, they would often see the bodies of some astronomical adventurers.

"People die for wealth, birds die for food." Jiang Chen sighed as he looked at the corpses that seemed to be everywhere.

Two hours later.

Jiang Chen and the others looked into the distance and saw faint, scattered lights in the distance, as well as many figures moving about.

Some sounds drifted over as well, and they were quite loud, as if they were meant to be heard by other adventurers.

"Fellow adventurers, as you all know, this realm within a realm is ten or even a hundred times more precious than a normal realm master's world."

"Therefore, there are already a large number of universe-level powerhouses, domain lords, and even great world lords on Canglan Star and at the exit of the Thunder World!"

"Powerful figures have arrived from the two holy lands, four major organizations, and sixteen great families of my Black Dragon Mountain Star Region!"

"The treasure of the realm within a realm is destined to be obtained by our Black Dragon Mountain Star Region."

"Therefore, the major organizations and forces had already agreed that any adventurer who wasn't from the two holy lands, four major organizations, or sixteen major families would be immediately arrested upon leaving the Thunder World."

"No matter how many cosmic crystals you obtain, or even some special treasures, it will be of no use."

"As long as you join our sacred Black Dragon Mountain, you will temporarily become external members of our sacred Black Dragon Mountain."

"Our sacred Black Dragon Mountain guarantees, with our honor, that when you leave the Thunder World and return to Azure Star, you will be protected by our sacred Black Dragon Mountain and will not be arrested."

"As for the cosmic crystals you obtained before, no one will steal them. All you need to do is join us, obey the orders of my Holy Land Black Dragon Mountain, join us, and help our Holy Land Black Dragon Mountain seize the treasure."

"Join our North Dragon City, and we guarantee—"

"We, Hundred Tigers Tower, guarantee with our reputation that we will not take your Cosmic Crystals. You only need to—"

Hundred Tiger Tower, North Dragon City, Black Cloud Society, Holy Land Black Dragon Mountain, Holy Land Ice Sea Divine Kingdom. They are all frantically trying to recruit "free adventurers," guaranteeing in the name of their organizations that they will never plunder the adventurers' cosmic crystals.

The four major organizations and the two holy lands each have a large number of universe-level beings, a large number of domain lords, and a small number of world lords.

They naturally didn't care about the cosmic crystals that the Hengxing Star valued so much; what they wanted were treasures, those treasures that even the realm lords coveted!

Although the four major organizations and two holy lands also send people here for the "trainee mercenary assessment", they are all elites.

Since they are elites, their numbers will naturally not be too large.

The real numerical advantage belonged to tens of thousands of free adventurers, so before those star-level legions arrived, they began to frantically recruit these free adventurers.

"Master, our people are all there. I'm going to regroup them," Brolin said respectfully, referring to the location of the sacred Black Dragon Mountain.

"Okay, go ahead, I'll come find you later." Jiang Chen nodded lightly.

"Yes, Master." Brolin replied respectfully as he went to command his subordinates and proceed according to the original plan.
