However, the power of this planetary-level martial artist alone is enough to make Hunter Luo Yan a top expert in his world.

After waiting quite a while, Luo Yan from the Saint Seiya world finally arrived.

He said dejectedly, "Damn the Sanctuary, the Saint Cloth competition is still not starting. When will I be able to wear the Saint Cloth?"

The number of Saint Cloths in the Sanctuary is limited, and some Saint Cloths have already been designated for wearers, so it is impossible for the Sanctuary to take them out and distribute them to those Saint Seiya trainees.

Only those Saint Cloths that are not predetermined will participate in an annual Saint Cloth Competition, where all Saint Seiya trainees will compete for them.

For example, Seiya's Cloth was won by him after defeating Cassios.

If the Sanctuary doesn't hold competitions, Saint Seiya Luo Yan won't have a chance to obtain a Saint Cloth.

Even though he has successfully activated his cosmos, the Sanctuary simply won't give him a Saint Cloth.

"Or we could just seize the unclaimed Holy Cloth from the Holy Domain and rebel against it," suggested Luo Yan, a martial arts expert.

"No, even if I had the strength of a planetary-level warrior now, I would still be no match for those Gold Saints. Without the invincible cheat code, I wouldn't dare to rebel against the Sanctuary."

Each of the Gold Saints possesses the power of a planetary or even stellar warrior, along with various unique superpowers.

With moves like the Illusionary Demon Emperor Fist, the Sekishiki Underworld Wave, and the Heavenly Dance Treasure Wheel, a single combo would be enough to make Saint Seiya Luo Yan kneel.

"In the end, it's because everyone's strength is not high enough. Every world has huge treasures, but they can't get them because of our strength."

"When I get back this time, I'll focus all my efforts on enhancing my genetic energy and try to reach the Stellar-level martial artist level," said Luo Yan from the Swallowed Star World.

"Then we'll look forward to good news from the big boss," the other three complimented.

"Don't worry, my system is already unlocked. Dada is just a stellar-level being, it's very simple. Half a month will be enough."

"Then we'll meet in two weeks," the others agreed.

Chapter 104 Crazy Monster Catching: Reaching Stellar Level

With some meager gains, Luo Yan returned to the real world from the quantum space.

"In just half a month, trying to break through to the star level by simply absorbing cosmic energy to replenish genetic energy is probably too inefficient and won't achieve the goal at all."

"Therefore, I'd better take medicine or rare herbs to enhance my strength."

There are many rare and precious materials in the Swallowed Starry Sky, such as the Spirit of Plants and Trees, Wood Crystal, and Azure Wave Marrow, all of which are suitable for planetary and stellar level martial artists.

In the original story, Luo Feng reached the seventh level of the Planetary Realm in just six months with the help of Mu Ya Jing and Bi Bo Sui.

In the world of Swallowed Star, the human geniuses cultivated by the Virtual Universe Company enjoy even more extravagant resources. They don't need to waste time absorbing cosmic energy and slowly progress from the first rank to the ninth rank.

To break through minor stages, they only need to soak in a nutrient tank, which is enough to instantly reach the ninth level of each stage.

In this world, ordinary people cultivate by slowly and painstakingly progressing through the first to ninth levels of the planetary level, the first to ninth levels of the stellar level, and the first to ninth levels of the cosmic level, breaking through one small stage at a time.

The geniuses, after reaching the first level of planetary cultivation, would soak in nutrient solution and instantly reach the ninth level. Then they would comprehend a higher realm, reaching the first level of stellar cultivation. After that, they would soak in nutrient solution again and instantly reach the ninth level of stellar cultivation. Then they would repeat the process of soaking in nutrient solution again.

Nutrient solutions and rare treasures are enough to help martial artists save more than ten thousand years of arduous cultivation.

Luo Yan also wanted to enjoy the treatment of geniuses, but rare and precious materials were too expensive.

Take Azure Marrow as an example; one gram of Azure Marrow costs 9000 Black Dragon Coins.

However, a single gram of Bibo marrow is not enough to create a star-level structure.

To become a Stellar-level martial artist, one must consume tens of kilograms of Azure Wave Marrow, which would cost over 100 million Black Dragon Coins.

One hundred million Black Dragon Coins can directly purchase a high-level Stellar-level martial artist slave.

The cost-effectiveness of buying slaves is even lower than that of buying Bibo marrow.

He secretly lamented the exorbitant prices of rare and precious materials in the Devouring Stars world, realizing that Luo Yan was so poor he couldn't even afford a single gram of Azure Wave Marrow.

Therefore, he could only try his best to browse other cutting-edge technologies to see if there were any alternative technologies.

If there really isn't a technology to replace the rare and precious treasures, he might have to go to Kirishima to try his luck.

However, Babata only favors humans with high brain capacity. He himself is not even a mentalist, so his brain capacity is definitely not that high.

Even if you go, you probably won't see Babata or get high-end items like Muya Crystal.

……

I spent a long time browsing the list of cutting-edge technologies.

Luo Yan discovered a life force extraction technology.

This technology can extract the life force of a living organism and preserve it as crystal, or it can transfer all the life force in the crystal to a specific organism.

So-called vitality is the energy of life, or in the context of the Star Swallowing World, it is the primal energy of genes.

"With this technology, I might be able to extract the genetic energy of monsters and turn it into crystals, and then break through to the stellar level."

A beast-soldier level monster, with the same strength as a novice warrior.

A novice warrior who has begun cultivating genetic energy has approximately five parts of genetic energy within their body.

So, roughly speaking, a single Beast Soldier-level monster can yield about 5 portions of genetic energy.

The genetic energy extracted from one hundred or one thousand monsters would be comparable to the spirit of plants and trees, or the heart of a thousand-year-old willow tree.

One hundred beast-soldier level monsters are very easy to capture; even the number of beast-soldier level monsters used in the practical combat assessment for quasi-martial artists can easily exceed five hundred.

With a large workforce, capturing tens of thousands of beast-soldier level monsters a day is quite easy.

Ten thousand beast-soldier level monsters can provide about the same amount of life force as one Wood Crystal.

Millions, even tens of millions, of beast soldiers were all transformed into life crystals, and the energy they provided could definitely push Luo Yan to the stellar level.

With stellar-level strength, Luo Yan will be able to explore Earth's ruins and seize spaceships.

Earth is too small; it would be difficult to support even a stellar-level martial artist. Only by entering the universe and stepping onto a broader stage can Luo Yan's strength improve rapidly.

Looking at his own funds, he realized that a large portion of his working capital had been invested in the construction of the company and factory, and there were no further returns yet. He also couldn't afford the equipment for preparing life crystals.

However, making money is no longer a difficult task for Luo Yan.

After taking the NZT48 pill, Luo Yan, relying on his extremely high intelligence, modified the secret manual he obtained from the martial arts world into a guiding technique suitable for the world of Swallowed Star.

Then he uploaded these techniques to the store platforms of the four major powers.

They made a fortune by selling these martial arts manuals.

Thor's secret manual, the Nine-Layer Thunder Blade, even the first level alone could sell for 100 million.

But not many people can actually afford it and learn how to use it.

The manuals uploaded by Luo Yan ranged in quality, from high-level techniques like the Northern Darkness Divine Art to low-level ones like the Taizu Long Fist, covering a wide range of styles.

With its comprehensive range of products, it attracted a large number of buyers, resulting in massive sales. In just one day, Luo Yan earned 100 billion from the secret manual.

He used the money to purchase the production line for preparing life crystals, and the rest as funds to acquire monsters.

The purchase price for a regular beast-soldier level monster is between five thousand and ten thousand Chinese yuan. After buying the equipment for preparing life crystals, Luo Yan still has 10 billion yuan left, which is enough to purchase many low-level monsters.

In addition to purchasing them with money, Luo Yan also used personal connections to secure the provision of live monsters by four major forces: the military, the HR Alliance, the Thunder Martial Arts School, and the Extreme Martial Arts School.

Luo Yan is already a planetary-level powerhouse and the third speaker. His strength and status make countless people and forces want to curry favor with him.

If Luo Yan has a need, those below will do their utmost to fulfill it.

In just three days, relying on the four major forces in Yangzhou base city and the acquisition of monster resources from independent martial artists, Luo Yan obtained more than 100,000 live beast soldier-level monsters.

Of these, about 80,000 were monster resources stored by the four major powers, while only 20,000 monsters were captured by martial artists from the wilderness.

Luo Yan put the 100,000 live monsters into the life crystal preparation instrument, and then saw the fresh monsters being decomposed, extracted, and transformed into a light blue life crystal more than one meter tall.

The blue life crystal contains extremely powerful genetic energy. Just by sensing the aura of this crystal, Luo Yan felt that his cells had become much more active.

"The crystal formed from 100,000 monsters contains about 500,000 units of genetic energy. If I absorb it all, it should be able to push me to the sixth level of the planetary stage."

"If I could transform another million beast-soldier-level monsters, I could finally reach the stellar level."

The monster reserves around Yangzhou base city are running low, but monster reserves from other base cities are being continuously supplied, so gathering a million monsters is not a difficult task.

The energy required to advance from the sixth to the seventh, and even the eighth and ninth, planetary-level units will be even greater.

The energy of 100,000 monsters can currently boost his strength by six stages, but later on, even 100,000 monsters might not be enough to boost his strength by even one stage.

One million beast-soldier level monsters is a conservative estimate.

To reduce this number, we need to capture even stronger monsters and reduce the quantity through quality.

With the help of the instrument, Luo Yan first absorbed the energy of the life crystal, raising his strength to the sixth level of the planetary stage.

Then he bought a large metal net and personally took it into the East China Sea to capture powerful monsters.

The monster used to create the Life Crystal must be alive, and a giant metal net is more effective than a lightsaber.

There are hundreds of billions of monsters in the ocean, and monsters of the Beast General level are as numerous as hairs on a cow.

With a casual flick of his wrist, Luo Yan dragged out at least a hundred beast general-level monsters.

The swordfish, capybara, venomous jellyfish, and blue-scaled king shrimp were all monsters I'd never seen before, all of them were beast-general level creatures.

A Beast General-level monster can generate more than ten times the life energy of a Beast Soldier-level monster.

Luo Yan's net of beast generals is equivalent to a thousand beast soldier-level monsters.

All the live monsters were placed into the instrument, and Luo Yan traveled back and forth between the ocean and land day and night to capture them.

He makes over a hundred round trips a day, each time catching a whole net full of beast-general level monsters. His work efficiency alone surpasses that of all the other independent martial artists.

Over the course of seven days, Luo Yan single-handedly captured 300,000 Beast General-level monsters, more than 1,000 Lord-level monsters, and more than ten King-level monsters.

More than 700,000 live monsters were also sent from other base cities.

After all the monsters were transformed into life crystals, Luo Yan absorbed their power, and his strength officially entered the third tier of the stellar level.

One will be a million bones.

The number of monsters that sacrificed their lives for Luo Yan exceeded a terrifying one million.

This price sounds outrageous, but in the universe, using the lives of a million living beings to create a star-level martial artist is nothing at all.

If those aliens knew about the technology to create life crystals, they would definitely commit far more killings than Luo Yan ever did.

There are countless life-bearing planets in the universe, and there are many naturally weak tenth and ninth-class races.

These races are nothing but slaves and weeds. Sacrificing hundreds of billions or trillions of them to create stellar-level powerhouses for sale is incredibly profitable!
