All Heavens: Originating from Swallowing the Stars

The Bain asteroid belt is an inconspicuous celestial system within the Cuilang star system, containing 209 asteroids orbiting a star with a diameter of approximately 160 million kilometers.

The cosmic environment here is extremely harsh. There are few habitable planets in the thousands of star systems nearby. Unless you specify coordinates to jump, no one will notice this area.

If someone were to accidentally wander into this place, they would discover that the Bain asteroid belt has clearly undergone special modifications. The originally scattered more than two hundred asteroids have been bound together in a small area by artificial gravity, and beneath the seemingly ordinary rocky surface lies the most advanced technological weaponry of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

E3级镭射炮、E6级轨道炮、E6级基因解构炮、E6级重子粉碎炮、E8级强化镭射主炮、E8级法则震荡装置……

These asteroids, which have long been transformed into high-intensity weapons of war, even have a special force field of E9 level, making the entire Bane asteroid belt like a fortress. Even if a world lord came with a fleet, he would be easily annihilated.

The owner of such a powerful defensive and counter-attack system is none other than Pan Xi, the leader of the Fire Phoenix Group, the top slave organization in the Cui Lang Star Region.

Inside the base, Pan Xi sat upright in a specially designed sealed cabin. The cabin was filled with pale green steam, which was being rapidly absorbed by the man's lean body, relieving the fatigue from his long period of arduous training.

This was a lean man who was only a little over 1.6 meters tall. He had dark, tough skin, extremely thick body hair, and a pair of sharp eyes like a wild wolf, with a suffocating aggressiveness.

As a high-ranking world lord, he had no servants in his asteroid belt base. The entire base was maintained by artificial intelligence, and he himself was engaged in ascetic cultivation, living a simple and austere life.

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

But as Panxi was quietly organizing his recent insights from his practice, an untimely clapping sound suddenly rang in his ears. The applause was loud and clear, each clapping sound seemingly in harmony with the rhythm of the primal power of water, cleansing his mind and body, making it hard to extricate himself.

"boom!"

But such applause made Pan Xi's hair stand on end involuntarily. He instantly tensed up from a relaxed state to the limit, and his whole body bent down like a wild beast, looking in the direction from which the applause came.

In Pansy's private resting pod, a young man dressed in a loose, dark blue robe embroidered with two brightly colored flowers had appeared out of nowhere. He sat languidly and leisurely on the sofa that had originally belonged to Pansy, his gaze indifferent as he watched the seasoned slave trader.

Behind the man, the E9-level wall, which was said to be able to withstand a peak world lord for several hours, had already been silently torn apart. Its cut was smooth and flat, making Pansy's gaze even colder and more gloomy.

His base had undergone extremely high-level renovations, making it one of the top-tier bases among world lords. Whether it was detection, counterattack, concealment, or defense, it was second to none in the entire star field. Yet, the man in front of him had infiltrated it without anyone noticing, which was truly terrifying.

"Pansy from the Fire Phoenix Group, right?"

After a long standoff, Li Tuo finally stopped what he was doing. He casually glanced at the rest pod, as if he had never paid any attention to the beast-like, aggressive man just a few dozen meters away.

In terms of sheer presence, Panxi's ferocity was even more savage than Li Tuo's, but the mark on Li Tuo's brow, which pulsated with the power of the water elemental law, made Panxi wary and hesitant to step forward.

"Are you a space mercenary? An adventurer? A bounty hunter? Or are you here for revenge?"

Pansy spoke in a low voice. His movements were not much different from before, except that his center of gravity was lowered, like a wild beast that had been greatly threatened, trying its best to protect itself while looking for an opportunity to strike and kill.

"That's not important. What's important is that I'm very interested in you as a person."

Li Tuo shook his head, his gaze returning to Pan Xi, and he thought of the information about the Realm Lord Pan Xi that the Qibao Pavilion had previously collected.

This is a powerful figure with a legendary life. Born a slave, he launched a riot the day before he was implanted with a slave chip, successfully escaped, and regained his freedom.

Then, this person began to accumulate capital in the most primitive and violent way. He invaded native planets, plundered wealth, and killed slaves. In a short period of time, he established the Fire Phoenix Group and monopolized a large number of slave businesses in the Cuilang Star Region.

He devoted himself to rigorous training, without teachers or guidance, and relied solely on his own strength to reach the third-tier realm master. While making the Fire Phoenix Group stronger and stronger, he also firmly walked on the path of the strong.

"It is my honor to have caught your attention. I am willing to pay for my life if you find me: three hundred units of mixed energy in cash, plus 10% of the Fire Phoenix Group's annual profits. What do you say?"

Pan Xi breathed a sigh of relief at Li Tuo's attitude. He smiled sincerely and earnestly suggested,

"Furthermore, I have some connections with His Highness the Seventh Prince of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. If the Fire Phoenix Group offends you, His Highness the Seventh Prince would surely be willing to mediate."

His meaning was clear: he could buy his own life with money, and there was an immortal deity with a special status standing behind him. To touch him would require careful consideration.

The amount of money he offered was indeed very high among realm lords; three hundred Chaos Yuan units of assets exceeded the assets of an ordinary peak realm lord, which was quite considerable.

"I've already spoken to the Seventh Prince, so you don't need to worry about it."

Li Tuo clearly didn't care about Pan Xi's little bit of wealth. He remained leaning back on the sofa and began to speak to himself:

"I've looked into all eighteen directors of the Fire Phoenix Group. Seventeen of them have become complete wastes. Only you are different. You are strict with yourself and have chosen to cultivate in an asteroid belt. You must have very high expectations for your future."

He stared at Pansy. The other party's aura was not strong at all. He was only a third-level World Lord, and his genetic level was just that of a normal human. He was not recognized by the fundamental laws. Faced with his sudden appearance, he didn't even have a chance to draw his weapon.

In reality, Panxi is definitely considered a young talent in a moderately civilized country. He has only lived for more than thirty eras, which is very young among world lords whose theoretical lifespan is capped at 1000 eras. He still has plenty of opportunities to improve.

He was a man devoted to power. Despite his great wealth, he had no desire for pleasure and only sought the best cultivation resources and weapons to help him cultivate while protecting his safety.

"Please explain your meaning. My Fire Phoenix Group may not be very capable, but there is nothing within the Cui Lang Star Region that the Fire Phoenix Group cannot accomplish."

Pan Xi hesitated, unsure of the man's true intentions. It was clearly abnormal that a realm lord recognized by the fundamental laws would refuse his high bribe.

"What I mean is simple. I need Mr. Panxi to help me find someone who possesses an exceptionally precious treasure. Not to mention you and me, even immortal gods would go crazy for it." Seeing this, Li Tuo stopped being mysterious and slowly stood up from the sofa to speak.

"A treasure? Please elaborate. If the Fire Phoenix Group has the capability, I will certainly do everything in my power to help you," Pan Xi hurriedly said.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they came with a purpose, he at least had a way to delay them and a chance to maneuver.

"Simple. I recently received some information about a treasure called Locke Divine Water. After investigating for a long time, I found that all the clues lead to you, Chairman Panxi of the Fire Phoenix Group." Li Tuo reached out and clenched his fist, and the Whale King Halberd appeared in his hand. He smiled.

"What?!"

Upon hearing the words "Locke's Divine Water," Pansy felt a wave of dizziness wash over him. He gritted his teeth, and a broad, menacing battle blade instantly appeared in his hand. He unleashed a ten-thousand-meter-long blade of light, slashing towards Li Tuo's head without hesitation.

At the same time, countless colorful vines spread out from Pansy's body. In an instant, the space where the two were located was filled with tough vines, which were covered with countless barbs and wrapped around Li Tuo.

Li Tuo recognized the plant instantly.

Ironvine Grass, a ninth-tier support plant at the World Lord level!
