Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 65 Blood Soul Sand

"Whoosh!"

With a flash of light and shadow, Zhou Yang and his three companions appeared in the space behind the vortex.

This space is only about ten kilometers in radius, and the sky and the earth are both dark red, which makes it feel somewhat oppressive.

In the center of this land, a group of hundreds of beast-like creatures lay silently.

These beast-like creatures were all around 100 meters tall, with lion heads, four hooves, wings on their backs, and pointed horns on their heads. Their appearance was somewhat similar to Luo Feng's Golden Horned Beast clone.

However, the bodies of these giant beasts were as if carved from jade, crystal clear, and one could even faintly see the energy lines within their bodies.

Most of these hundreds of giant beasts were pale blue, except for the dozen or so in the very center, whose bodies were a bright red, like blood.

In the dark red sky, wisps of red mist continued to drift and fall among the beasts.

The red mist was quickly absorbed by the giant beasts, and the red color on their bodies became slightly darker.

They even witnessed a ferocious blue beast evolve into a blood-red soul beast with a dark red body after absorbing a complete wisp of mist.

"Huh?"

The space covered an area of ​​over ten kilometers in radius, and the four intruders quickly attracted the attention of the beast horde.

"Roar~~~"

The dozen or so red soul beasts in the middle were the first to let out a deafening roar, and then the entire beast horde instantly erupted into a frenzy.

The giant beasts, which had been lying prone, instantly locked onto the intruding enemy.

With a series of huge roars, giant beasts soared into the sky and rushed towards Zhou Yang and his companions.

"You deal with those Heavenly Soul Beasts, I'll handle the Blood Soul Beasts!"

Zhou Yang gave a low shout and took the lead to meet them.

One after another, curved blades shot out from beneath his feet, quickly assembling into a giant golden Dharma wheel in front of him.

The golden Dharma wheel spun rapidly, with strands of black silk wrapped around its edges, causing the surrounding space to tremble slightly.

"laugh!"

The golden Dharma wheel shot out, and the four or five azure celestial soul beasts flying at the forefront were hit by the Dharma wheel. Like shattered porcelain, they instantly exploded into a sky full of azure fragments.

Among these fragments, a dozen or so white "grains of sand" emitting a faint glow are particularly eye-catching.

"Is this the Heavenly Soul Sand?"

Zhou Yang's eyes flashed, and he used his mental power to quickly store the dozen or so white sand grains into his storage space.

Without pausing, he rushed through the opened passage and headed straight for the dozen or so blood-red soul beasts that were noticeably larger than the others at the back of the horde.

The golden halo suddenly emitted a piercing buzzing sound!

"Haha, Zhou Yang's already getting involved, we can't fall behind!"

The bald Thor chuckled, and bolts of lightning spread around his body, instantly transforming him into a lightning-powered figure.

He pointed his long sword and charged swiftly into the horde of beasts, immediately unleashing a series of ear-piercing roars.

"Haha, let's go too!"

Hong and Luo Feng exchanged a glance and quickly joined the battle.

Black light flashed on the spear in Hong's hand, and the surrounding light seemed to be slightly distorted.

Under this spear, the Heavenly Soul Beasts, whose strength was only at the Planetary level, had no way to dodge and were instantly pierced through.

Immediately afterwards, blinding light erupted from their bodies, shattering them instantly.

Luo Feng, on the other hand, rode the Sky Shuttle and instantly flew into the sky, with blades flying out one after another, instantly combining to form the shape of a swordfish.

The second form of the Sky Shuttle - Swordfish Formation!

"Tch~"

A blinding golden light erupted instantly, and the golden swordfish soared through the air, tearing the Heavenly Soul Beasts to shreds.

That terrifying killing speed was even much faster than Hong and Thor.

Zhou Yang's current realm has reached the third level of the Eternal Star level. With the explosion of his dual domains, ordinary eighth or ninth level Eternal Star level cultivators are not necessarily his match.

Meanwhile, Thor had already broken through to the first level of the Hengxing realm, while Hong and Luo Feng were at the ninth and eighth levels of the Xingxing realm, respectively. Moreover, all of them had comprehended their domains, making their true combat strength far surpass that of other martial artists of the same level.

Most of the hundred or so soul beasts in this space were around the seventh or eighth level of the Planetary Realm, and the strongest dozen or so Blood Soul Beasts were only around the third or fourth level of the Constant Realm. How could they possibly withstand the slaughter by these few freaks?

Before long, tranquility returned to the space.

"Whoosh~"

Zhou Yang and Luo Feng quickly gathered together.

After a fierce and exhilarating battle, the auras of the group fluctuated continuously, and it felt as if the barriers to their cultivation levels were gradually loosening.

Luo Feng, on the other hand, broke through during the battle, raising his realm to the ninth level of the Planetary level.

"Haha, that was exhilarating! It's been a long time since I've experienced such a satisfying battle on Earth!"

Thor's body was still crackling with residual electricity, and his aura was incredibly fierce.

Hong, with his stern face, nodded slightly:

"Indeed, life-or-death battles are the fastest way to improve strength. I feel that the ninth-level planetary stage is already starting to loosen up."

"It's a pity that there were more soul beasts, and that they were stronger..."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but shake his head in regret.

"No need to rush, this is just the beginning, there will be plenty of opportunities later."

Zhou Yang spoke up.

He glanced around and, seeing there was no point in lingering, said with a smile:

"Let's go back to the spaceship first, and then head to the next location. We can take stock of what we've gained along the way."

"Yes, yes, let's hurry to the next location before someone else gets there!"

"Haha, we've got quite a bit of Heavenly Soul Sand this time. I heard it's pretty valuable..."

The group chatted and laughed as they quickly returned through the vortex passage they had entered from, where Babata was already waiting outside in his spaceship.

After they entered, the silver-gray spaceship accelerated instantly without stopping, heading towards the next marked location.

Inside the spaceship, Zhou Yang, Luo Feng, and the others sat together, taking out their respective spoils.

"I have more than ninety of them here."

Hong took the lead and placed a large handful of white "sand" on the table between the group.

"Haha, I have a little more than Brother Hong, I have 113!"

The bald Thor smiled and took out his spoils.

At the planetary level, he was always overshadowed by Hong.

Now that he has broken through to the Hengxing level earlier, his strength has soared, and he has finally been able to hold his head high.

Seeing his smug look, Hong just smiled faintly and shook his head without saying anything.

At this moment, Luo Feng raised his hand and waved it in front of him, and a small pile of Heavenly Soul Sand appeared on the table.

He grinned and, mimicking Thor, spoke softly:

"I collected 153 grains of Heavenly Soul Sand, uh... a little more than Lei Ge."

"Damn it, you little brat!"

Seeing Luo Feng's nonchalant expression, Lei Shen glared angrily.

However, seeing that his pile of Heavenly Soul Sand was significantly larger than his own, he reluctantly shut his mouth.

"Heh, Luo Feng, how come he's getting better and better at roasting people? Wasn't it said that after possessing the Golden Horned Beast, one's temperament would be affected and become cold...?"

Looking at Luo Feng, who was seriously arguing with him, Zhou Yang couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

He paused for a moment, then took out his own spoils, which consisted of over thirty grains of Heavenly Soul Sand and fifteen grains of Blood Soul Sand.

Strangely enough, each of the blue-colored Heavenly Soul Beasts could yield 2 to 3 Heavenly Soul Sands upon being killed, while the Blood Soul Beasts could only contribute one Blood Soul Sand.

"Babata, help us assess the value of this harvest."

Zhou Yang shouted at the black-robed child on the spaceship screen.

"understood."

A beam of light descended, enveloping the piles of Blood Soul Sand and Heavenly Soul Sand on the table.

Not long after, Babata's lazy voice rang out.

"According to the purchase price of shops such as Qibaohang, a grain of Heavenly Soul Sand is worth about 1 million Black Dragon Coins, while Blood Soul Sand is more expensive, worth about 100 million Black Dragon Coins."

"You harvested a total of 412 Heavenly Soul Sands and 16 Blood Soul Sands this time, with a total value of a little over 21 billion Black Dragon Coins."

Listening to Babata's account, Zhou Yang couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.

"That's all?"

"What do you know!"

On the screen, Babata, dressed as a child in black robes, suddenly widened his eyes. "Let me tell you, the value of this Heavenly Soul Sand cannot be measured by its price!"

It stared with its scarlet pupils and continued:

"Most people who obtain Heavenly Soul Sand are reluctant to sell it; they use it to absorb themselves."

"absorb?"

Zhou Yang and the others were all taken aback.

Babata had mentioned before that the Heavenly Soul Sand could be used for absorption, but he didn't specify what the effects would be, so the group didn't take it seriously.

Judging from what Babata said, this Heavenly Soul Sand seems to be very important.

"Each of you take a grain of Blood Soul Sand and try absorbing it."

Babata said.

"Um."

Seeing Babata's solemn expression, Zhou Yang and the others didn't say much, each picking up a Blood Soul Sand and holding it in their hands.

As they began to slowly circulate the cultivation method, a warm energy emanated from the blood soul sand in their hands.

The warm energy flowed into their bodies through their palms and was then quickly absorbed.

"Wow, that's amazing! My physical abilities are actually improving!"

Bald Thor was the first to shout.

The moment that warm energy entered his body, he felt his physical condition begin to improve slowly at a noticeable rate.

His face couldn't help but show surprise.

Keep in mind that his physical attributes have already reached the Hengxing level. Even absorbing precious Muya crystals for cultivation wouldn't result in such a rapid improvement.

He felt that absorbing the energy of this grain of Blood Soul Sand had increased his physical attributes by two or three percent.

With enough Blood Soul Sand, breaking through to the next realm would be a piece of cake!

Not only him, but Hong and Luo Feng, standing to the side, looked at each other with equally excited expressions.

Their cultivation levels are only at the Planetary level, while Blood Soul Sand's improvement is even more significant!

"You felt it, didn't you?"

On the screen, Babata tilted his head back triumphantly.

"The Blood Soul Sand contains extremely strong blood energy. After absorption, it can rapidly improve a person's physical strength. For planetary and constant-level martial artists, it is an excellent cultivation treasure."

However, he later explained:

"However, the effects of Blood Soul Sand will weaken if used too much. For most people, the effect will not be very noticeable after absorbing about a few dozen grains. This is why Blood Soul Sand is not very expensive in the universe."

"So that's how it is!"

"It's a bit of a shame that each person can only use forty or fifty grains of Blood Soul Sand."

Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen all showed expressions of regret.

Compared to them, Zhou Yang's regret was even more extreme.

"This thing is completely useless to me."
