Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Lottery of All Things

Virtual Will, Thunder Mountain.

"You want to go to the abyss of purgatory?"

The Lord of Chaos City looked at his disciple with a somewhat solemn expression.

"Yes, teacher!"

Zuo Yan just clicked the option to accept the Purgatory Abyss.

A warning message just popped up on the screen.

The Lord of Chaos City sent him a message, asking him to come to Thunder Mountain.

"The Abyss of Purgatory is special and very dangerous!"

The Lord of Chaos spoke earnestly, intending to emphasize the special and dangerous nature of this mission, hoping to discourage Zuo Yan from taking it too seriously.

"When the company first discovered and developed this world, it suffered enormous losses!"

"It's neither like a world nor a secret realm; it's more like a special demonic space that has been integrated into a primordial universe."

"Even I don't know how many layers of space there are, or how many levels of demons there are."

"Furthermore, anyone who enters will immediately encounter countless demons of the same level."

"Even a powerful being like myself would encounter a powerful demon of the same level if I entered."

"And as time goes on, more and more high-level demons will appear, one after another."

The Lord of Chaos City looked at his disciple, who remained calm, and sighed inwardly.

He continued, "There are endless demons to kill, but to survive, we have no choice but to kill them!"

"You still want to enter the abyss of purgatory?"

The Lord of Chaos City unconsciously clenched his hands behind his back.

Zuo Yan noticed his teacher's worry and was touched.

He said, "I'm sorry to have worried my teacher!"

"But... I have reasons why I must enter the Abyss of Purgatory."

"Furthermore... I can use clones, so there's no need to worry about me perishing."

Zuo Yan bowed to the Lord of Chaos City.

"Sigh, never mind, keep this teleportation token."

"In the event of a life-or-death crisis, immediately activate this card to teleport you directly out of the Abyss of Purgatory."

The token is made of ordinary black stone and contains a special and powerful spatial force.

It can transcend numerous spatial limitations, teleport away, and return to a designated location.

Thank you, teacher!

After receiving the teleportation token, Zuo Yan exited the virtual universe.

In reality, outside Manor No. 113.

With a wave of his hand, Zuo Yan's Water Child released the "Golden Edge".

He flew straight into the spaceship and left the Wuchen Continent.

The Abyss of Purgatory is also located in the Primal Realm.

Zuo Yan spent seven days arriving at... an ordinary planet.

Planets are just normal life-bearing planets in the universe.

However, around the planet, numerous palace complexes of virtual universes were built.

Countless staff members moved about in the palace.

The vast majority of them are realm lords or immortals.

Zuo Yan's spaceship was picked up by a palace.

After the "Golden Peak" docked, Zuo Yan stepped out of the spaceship and put his own spaceship away.

"Your Highness Zuo Yan, the God desires to see you!"

"Lead the way!"

Zuo Yan followed an immortal-level white-robed youth to meet a powerful being.

This was entrusted to me by the Lord of Chaos City.

Outside the largest and most magnificent blood-red palace in the palace complex surrounding the planet.

Zuo Yan and the other person stopped here.

The immortal youth in white robes said, "The Divine Lord is inside; I will not follow Your Highness Zuo Yan inside!"

Zuo Yan nodded in acknowledgment.

As if some terrifying primordial beast lurked within the blood-red palace, the white-robed youth immediately fled the area.

Zuo Yan shook his head and went inside alone.

The space shifted, and Zuo Yan seemed to have arrived in a blood-red... demon kingdom.

Various terrifying and bizarre demonic figures floated and swirled within it.

Deep within the Demon Kingdom lies a throne of blood and bones composed of the corpses of various alien races.

A terrifying being with three heads and six arms, a blue face and fangs, was sitting on it.

After Zuo Yan met those six demonic eyes, the demonic kingdom within his body uncontrollably surfaced on its own.

Although its power is not as great as that of the one on the throne.

However, the number and terror of the demonic figures in the Demon Kingdom are in no way inferior.

"Good lad, so young and already so deeply entrenched in demonic possession!"

The presence on the throne awakened Zuo Yan with a single word.

Zuo Yan quickly suppressed his demonic kingdom back into his body.

He addressed the man on the throne, saying, "Greetings, Third Senior Brother!"

That's right... The terrifying being on the throne with three heads and six arms, a blue face and fangs, is none other than the third disciple of the Chaos City Lord.

His power was terrifying, even greater than that of his second senior brother, Venerable Guiyi.

He can be said to be the strongest among the current disciples of the Chaos City Lord.

Its strength is extremely close to that of a top-tier cosmic overlord.

They are called the "Three Demon Lords" and are responsible for guarding the Abyss of Purgatory.

He was once a peerless warrior who, at the cosmic level, fought alone against demons in the abyss of purgatory and survived for more than a decade.

The number of alien cosmic overlords killed exceeded three digits.

Possessing immense magical power, he is a true 'cosmic bully'!

The three demon gods stood up, their figures flashing as they arrived beside Zuo Yan.

He patted Zuo Yan on the shoulder and burst into laughter.

"Junior brother, this is incredible! The demonic nature within you is even stronger than when I was at the Realm Lord stage."

"It seems you ignored your teacher's advice and came to this abyss of purgatory in search of something to completely eradicate the demonic energy within you, right?"

The three demon gods looked on with a look of reminiscence, as if they were seeing their former selves in Zuo Yan.

"Senior brother is amazing!"

Zuo Yan had also heard of his third senior brother.

I know he's very generous and open-hearted towards his family.

"Yes, back then, I was young and reckless, and I fearlessly entered the abyss of purgatory."

"After fighting various demons for seven or eight years, I did obtain a special crystal."

"This kind of crystal is called Demon Crystal. One crystal can double the life gene, but it becomes useless after ten crystals."

"But... this crystal does have a certain effect in eliminating demonic energy."

The three demon gods waved their hands, and a milky-white crystal, about half the size of a fist, appeared.

He pushed the crystal to Zuo Yan and asked him to try it out.

Zuo Yan looked delighted and grabbed the crystal, refining it in an instant.

His life gene count did indeed increase by 721 times.

Moreover... the demonic nature suppressed by his will was indeed reduced by about one-thousandth.

"really!"

Zuo Yan was somewhat agitated.

Seeing Zuo Yan's excited expression, the Three Demon Lords shook their heads and waved their hands again, releasing thirty demon crystals.

"I spent seven or eight years in the Abyss of Purgatory and only obtained a little over seven hundred of them. They are now useless to me."

"Consider these thirty as a gift for my junior brother."

Knowing his senior brother's personality, Zuo Yan did not refuse and put him into his spatial ring.

"Thank you for the gift, senior!"

Zuo Yan bowed and thanked him.

Go!

The three demon gods waved their hands, sending Zuo Yan to the crimson palace.

Zuo Yan smiled, thinking that there were indeed good things in this abyss of purgatory.

Based on his current and future progress in cultivating the second and third tribulations of the "Nine Tribulations of the Heavenly Demon".

"Thirty demon crystals are simply not enough!"

We need to prepare at least tens of thousands of them.

The aftereffects of the first tribulation of cultivation alone can only be eliminated by one-thousandth of a demon crystal.

The second and third tribulations will probably require thirty to forty thousand stones!
