Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 231 Burns

As the center of the Rock Territory, which spans tens of millions of square kilometers, Rock City houses almost one-tenth of the Rock Territory's population.

The entire rock city covers a vast area; the city walls alone are 300 meters high and stretch out in all directions, seemingly without end.

At one of the city gates of Rock City, Yang Wu, dressed in dark gold armor, slowly descended from mid-air and then walked slowly toward the gate.

The guards at the city gate, who had just been shouting and cursing, trying to collect entrance fees from other people entering the city, suddenly became extremely respectful when they saw Yang Wu appear.

"They are experts at least at the Sky level!"

"grown ups!"

The gravity within the Blood Luo World is extremely high; even a ninth-tier planetary-level being cannot fly in the sky. Therefore, Yang Wu's ability to fall from the sky indicates he is at least a Heng-level being, and these guards, who are only sixth-tier planetary-level beings, naturally dare not be too presumptuous.

Yang Wu casually tossed out a coin and then strode into the county town.

Yang Wu had obtained many coins from the Blood Guards, the girl, and their guards in the Blood Luo World. With his wealth, he naturally wouldn't care about these coins that were just made of slightly special materials.

The guards' eyes lit up when they saw the purple knife coin that Yang Wu casually tossed out, and their expressions became even more respectful.

"To casually toss out a purple sword coin, this person is very likely a Cloud Realm expert!"

"Indeed, even an ordinary Sky-level expert with astonishing wealth wouldn't casually toss away a purple sword coin!"

In the Bloodlust world, all coins are shaped like knife-shaped coins. Among them, red is small coin, black is medium coin, green is large coin, and purple is treasure coin.

One treasure coin is worth one thousand large coins; one large coin is worth one thousand medium coins; one medium coin is worth one thousand small coins.

Yang Wu casually tossed out a purple knife coin, which led many guards to speculate about Yang Wu's identity.

Meanwhile, Yang Wu had already entered Rock City.

……

Inside Rock City.

Yang Wu didn't rush to cause trouble for the Lord of Rock Territory. Instead, he strolled around the city for a while, visiting some lively restaurants and listening to the conversations of many customers. This gave him a better understanding of what was happening in Rock City.

Yang Wu then sought out several Sky-level experts who appeared to be of high status, and used his soul control technique to inquire about information that ordinary people would never have access to.

It wasn't that Yang Wu didn't want to find Cloud-level experts, but firstly, there were too many people in Rock City, and Cloud-level experts were quite rare; secondly, Yang Wu was not a mentalist and his use of soul techniques was rather crude, so it was better to directly control and question some Sky-level experts with status.

Not long after, Yang Wu randomly found a place to stay, closed his eyes, and began to recall the many pieces of information he had received.

"This new lord of Rock Territory, Burns, truly lives up to his reputation as a cunning and ruthless man!" Yang Wu murmured.

In the Blood Continent, even ordinary people can achieve physical attributes approaching the planetary level. With a little effort, they can break through to the Great Earth level.

Earth-level warriors are capable of living for a thousand years. Since Burns became the lord of Rock Territory, only a little over two hundred years have passed, so everyone is quite familiar with his experiences.

Burns was originally a general under Nob, the previous lord of Rock Territory. Because he was fortunate enough to fuse with a Blood Crystal when he was at the Cloud level, he received great support from Nob.

About two thousand years ago, Burns successfully broke through to the Domain level and became the third strongest in the Rock Territory.

More than two hundred years ago, Burns, who had already cultivated to the mid-stage of the Domain level, secretly conspired with Pang Xiu, another Domain level expert from Rock Territory, to poison and murder Nob.

After Norbu was poisoned, he pushed Pang Xiu forward to block Norbu. After the two were both severely injured, Burns came out to clean up the mess and killed both of these domain-level powerhouses who could threaten him.

Thus, Burns became the only Domain-level powerhouse within the Rock Territory. Subsequently, Burns pledged allegiance to the lord of the World City to which the Rock Territory belonged, and because he had already fused with a Blood Crystal, he smoothly became the new lord of the Rock Territory.

Over these two hundred years, Burns also continuously strengthened his rule.

Over a hundred years ago, in this Rock Territory, the sect leader of a sect managed to break through to the Domain level, but was immediately attacked by Burns and ultimately died.

"This Burns is truly domineering!" Yang Wu thought to himself. "However, such methods certainly make it easier to survive in this world where the strong are respected! If I hadn't unexpectedly arrived here, he probably would have had a good chance of breaking through to the World Lord level!"

"I'll cultivate for a while first, and then make my move against Burns when it gets dark!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

There are no sun, moon, or stars in the Blood Continent. However, due to the constant movement of the eighteen cloud layers in the sky, different regions of the continent are sometimes bright and sometimes dark. One bright and one dark day is roughly equivalent to seven Earth days.

It was still early before nightfall, and Yang Wu was in the quiet room using the power of Blood Luo to comprehend the laws. At the same time, he also separated a wisp of his consciousness to connect to the virtual universe network and practice secret techniques in his manor.

Although we are currently undertaking a cultivation mission, completing the mission does not contradict studying the fundamental laws.

……

Bloodlust World, Rock City, Night.

After a long period of preparation, Yang Wu's understanding of this rock city is now no less than that of the natives.

"Burns!"

As the air vibrated, a figure appeared out of thin air outside the walls of the city lord's mansion, which covered an area of ​​tens of kilometers.

Burns was at the mid-stage of the Domain level, or at least a fourth-level Domain Lord. Who knew what trump cards he might have? So, for safety's sake, Yang Wu had already brought the auxiliary metal life form Kash with him. At this moment, he was wearing a pure black battle armor transformed from Kash.

As for the issue of revealing his identity as an extraterrestrial, Yang Wu didn't even consider it.

Firstly, the others in Rock Territory simply don't have that kind of insight; secondly, Yang Wu will leave immediately after obtaining the Blood Crystal he wants.

Yang Wu had already collected all the information about the Blood Luo World that could be gathered in the Rock Territory, so there was no need for him to stay any longer.

……

The city lord's mansion in Rock City covers an area of ​​tens of kilometers and has existed in Rock City for tens of thousands of years.

Yang Wu sneaked in from outside the city wall, and could still vaguely see the shadow of the great battle more than two hundred years ago.

Yang Wu transformed into a phantom and swiftly approached the location of City Lord Burns.

In this city lord's mansion, apart from Burns, the highest cultivation level was only a regular ninth-level universe-level cultivator. How could they possibly detect Yang Wu's figure?

"That Burns is only at the mid-stage of the Domain level. Kash can just provide defense in this battle. There's no need for him to possess me! Besides, I also want to see what level I can achieve on my own." Yang Wu thought to himself.

If this were in space, Yang Wu certainly wouldn't be so arrogant. After all, given the incredibly fast message transmission speed of the virtual universe, it's highly likely that a powerful figure would come to rescue Burns.

However, in the Blood Luo world where news spreads incredibly slowly, Yang Wu was not worried about this at all.

Under the cover of night, Yang Wu stood in mid-air and, through his perception of the universe, faintly sensed the powerful aura located in the center of the city lord's mansion.

"Sixth-tier Domain Lord? Not bad, quite challenging!"

Whoosh!

Yang Wu, wielding the Overlord Spear, vanished in an instant.

The issue of the protagonist's quadruple genes—the Domain Lord-level Bloodline Potion. The original text mentioned that the creation of a Domain Lord-level Bloodline Potion requires more than ten beings with high-level human bloodlines. While it's unclear why the Thunder Realm Lord possesses it, this is the current setting. If there are any discrepancies with the original text, feel free to contact me in the group.
