Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 74 Thunder World

Canglan Star is located in the heart of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's territory. It is a powerful planet whose importance ranks among the top 100 in the entire Black Dragon Mountain star system.

A jet-black, disc-shaped spaceship was guided by a signal and slowly entered the interstellar docking port.

"Whoosh!"

The spaceship's hatch opened, and a group of people stepped out.

Leading the group were Zhou Yang, Luo Feng, and the other two Earthlings, followed by five muscular men with two horns and a vertical eye on their foreheads.

These are five Constant Star level slaves that Zhou Yang purchased on Qiulong Star.

All five individuals were at the ninth level of the Eternal Star realm, and all came from the same race. Their combined combat power far exceeded that of five ordinary ninth-level Eternal Star warriors.

Their purpose in coming here was to participate in the trainee mercenary assessment of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance.

To ensure fairness, the assessments for trainee mercenaries are all conducted in small worlds.

On Canglan Star, there is a small world that is used as a testing ground.

It's the Thunder World that appeared as a realm within a realm in the original work.

The exact time when the Realm Within a Realm appeared was not described in the original work. In order not to miss this opportunity, Zhou Yang could only come here in advance to wait for it to happen.

However, there is an even more important preparation to be made before entering the Thunder World.

"Everyone's cultivation level has improved during this period. I suggest that you first hone your skills in the virtual universe killing field and familiarize yourself with your power before entering the Thunder World."

Zhou Yang led his group to a hotel that was close to the entrance to the Thunder World and they stayed there.

He then drove Luo Feng and the other two into the killing field of the virtual universe.

"Let me tell you, this killing field lets you fight against powerful opponents, and you can even simulate the opponents you want to match. It's definitely a great place to hone your combat skills!"

"Perform well and make a name for ourselves as Earthlings!"

Hong, Lei Shen, and Luo Feng were somewhat puzzled as to why they would abandon a perfectly good assessment task and instead come to this killing field to hone their combat skills.

However, trusting Zhou Yang, they still attempted to start the first battle in the killing field.

However, they soon discovered the wonderful use of this killing field!

Improving a martial artist's strength is not something that can be achieved simply by burying oneself in arduous training.

Only combat, especially close-quarters combat where one feels the threat of death, can continuously stimulate a martial artist's potential, thus enabling them to advance rapidly!

However, in reality, encountering such a situation is extremely rare.

However, in the killing field of the virtual universe, this can be done very easily.

As long as you have enough money, you can submit any request to the 'Virtual Universe System'.

For example, Thor is currently at the second level of the Eternal Star, and his realm is the second level of the Lightning Domain.

Then he could set his opponent to be the same 'Eternal Star Level 2', but with the 'Third Level of Lightning Domain'.

This not only simulates an evenly matched opponent, but also allows you to learn the combat skills of a virtual opponent during battle.

After all, the virtual characters evolved from the virtual universe have combat skills and awareness that are close to the peak of the current realm.

In addition to these, there is also a final battle space in the killing arena.

Inside, they can even fight against other challengers and experience what it's like to battle against different opponents.

Having experienced the benefits of this killing field, Luo Feng and the other two didn't need Zhou Yang to urge them; they actively immersed themselves in the frenzied battles with their opponents.

These three are all geniuses who have comprehended their domains. Luo Feng has even sensed a trace of the fluctuation of the Golden Origin Law. They are practically invincible in this killing field.

In addition, there's Zhou Yang, a freak who has touched the threshold of the two fundamental laws of wood and emptiness.

After a brief period of adjustment, the group quickly made a name for themselves in this killing field.

"Hong, a Hengxing Tier 1 player, boasts a record of 695 consecutive wins!"

"Thor, a second-tier, level-two Celestial, with a record of 589 consecutive wins!"

"Luo Feng, a second-tier, Eternal Star level cultivator, boasts a record of 885 consecutive wins!"

"Zhou Yang, a fourth-tier Hengxing level cultivator, boasts a record of 1250 consecutive wins and remains undefeated!"

In the final battle space of this killing arena, others can also watch the battle if they spend money.

Even high-ranking members of many organizations occasionally watch matches that interest them, hoping to discover outstanding talents worth recruiting.

Due to their incredible winning streak, Zhou Yang and his three companions also caught the attention of a high-ranking member of a major organization.

Similar to the description in the original work, after a specially arranged test, the person in charge of the Virtual Universe Company's Black Dragon Mountain branch, a domain lord-level powerhouse named "Ming Yu," personally summoned them.

After some discussion, the group successfully became external members of the Virtual Universe Company.

At this point, Zhou Yang finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

The reason he delayed for so long and painstakingly fought and made a name for himself in this killing field was to obtain this identity!

After all, once the news of the interdimensional world spreads, all the major organizations and forces will inevitably put the entire Canglan Star under strict surveillance.

Without a suitable identity, one might be able to enter but not leave alive.

Without lingering, he immediately called Luo Feng and the other two, along with the five level-nine guards of the Hengxing star, and entered the small world called Thunder World.

After a dizzying spin, the group found themselves in a vast, black desert.

"Is this the small world created by a Realm Lord?"

Thor looked around curiously, clicking his tongue in amazement:

"The gravity in this small world is nearly four thousand times that of Earth, yet the sand beneath my feet only leaves shallow indentations when I step on it. It's really strange."

Zhou Yang flipped through the map he had bought before entering the Thunder World and quickly determined their location.

"The place we are in now is called the 'Death Desert,' one of the forbidden areas in this Thunder World. It becomes extremely dangerous here at night."

"Let's go, let's get out of here first!"

The group took off and flew away into the distance at an extremely fast speed.

Fortunately, they did not encounter any additional trouble.

More than an hour later, they successfully left the Death Desert and entered a vast, continuous mountain range.

"One of the mission locations, Demon Moon Lake, is located within this mountain range, approximately 1.6 kilometers from here. Let's be careful; there are quite a few demonic beasts in this mountain range!"

Zhou Yang gave a reminder, and the group quickly lowered themselves and began to walk forward on the ground.

His real purpose was the treasures within the realm within a realm; he didn't really care about the results of the so-called apprentice mercenary assessment.

Therefore, he focused very little on hunting down his targets, and devoted most of his energy to quietly waiting for the opening of the realm within a realm.

As time passed, Zhou Yang and his team finally collected almost all the necessary items for their mission.

The entire Thunder World began to tremble violently!
