Swallowing the Stars: The Puzzle of Everything!

Chapter 85: Two Secret Realms Point to the Same Core

Perseus flew toward the dark yellow crystal below.

"boom--"

The moment the palm touched the crystal, a burst of flames erupted.

Starting from the crystal, concentric circles of dark yellow light spread out, creating a stalemate with the flames, only to dim and flicker uncertainly in the next moment.

A ruthless glint flashed in Perseus's eyes.

The flames suddenly invaded the crystal, and at the same time, a powerful mental force surged into it as well.

Perseus looked as if he had turned into a sculpture.

One minute, two minutes...

With a "ding" sound, the crystal that was trying to resist calmed down again, and Perseus's perception range instantly expanded from the normal peak ninth-level realm lord's perception range to the entire secret realm.

Everything became crystal clear.

From this void outside the continent, filled with sandstorms, to the rocky lands on the outer edge of the continent, and then to the nine-tiered altar surrounded by rock walls at the very center.

The secret place before us was more rudimentary than we had imagined.

The information left inside the crystal contains two pieces of information.

According to the first piece of information, as long as the gap in the "Corpse of the Earth Soul" is filled, the "Shiva Karma Dance" can be performed, allowing a powerful person who is just one step away from comprehending the Law of Earth to overcome the bottleneck through a special method.

Unfortunately, doing this has a significant impact on the secret realm.

Although the corpse of the Earth Soul cannot be destroyed, it needs time to recover. In fact, it takes an additional 10,000 epochs for each World Lord to break through to Immortality, allowing the corpse of the Earth Soul to slowly recover its original essence.

A CD that has been cooled for 1 million years is simply terrifying.

However, in Perseus's view, this timeframe was still within a controllable range.

A realm lord can survive for 1000 epochs.

It only consumes ten times the lifespan of a Realm Lord, but can create immortals, and a batch of Earth Soul Corpses can be used 5 to 7 times. Perseus did a little calculation and found that this secret realm could be completely transformed into a warm nest for mass production of military lord immortals.

Secondly, there's the second effect of this secret realm—the large array node.

The Western Region appears to be an array plate.

The other nodes without gaps are unclear, but the only two exposed nodes are key to activating a formation, both pointing to a core within.

An array that covers an entire galaxy?

Is this the work of a cosmic sovereign, or the master of the universe...?

Everything remains unknown.

However, given Perseus's current combat strength, there is still a considerable chance that he can successfully gather enough peak-level World Lords to fill this secret realm.

"Looks like I'm in for a busy day."

Perseus shook his head somewhat helplessly, but his eyes were full of excitement.

A secret realm that could very well involve even higher-level powerhouses!

Nobody knows now, so this is the perfect opportunity for me to shine.

However, considering that those previous Realm Lords may have reported their information to their clans before they arrived, I still need to gather 30 peak Realm Lords in the shortest possible time.

"Number 1".

Using his control over the secret realm, Perseus temporarily lifted the spatial restrictions, traversed the dark universe, and immediately sealed the secret realm again. He then activated the intelligent light brain to summon Number 1.

"What are your orders, Master?"

"Before we take over the Mingguang Empire, a mid-level civilization, we need to go out and conquer some wilderness."

Seeing that Number 1 seemed a little confused, Perseus briefly explained the current situation to him.

"So the master wants to create immortality..."

"Is that not allowed?"

Perseus smiled broadly. "The Fire Cloud Clan members are still quite useful for now, and I don't plan to use them to fill the gaps. What we need now is a peak Realm Lord who has comprehended the Law of Earth, preferably one who is about to break through."

This is clearly also for the sake of mobility.

Without the teleportation of an immortal divine kingdom, traveling is always inconvenient.

"This time, in addition to replenishing the necessary Earth Soul Corpses and completing the defense of the secret realm, we can also spread the Soul Binding Wood Seal outwards."

"Now that the conditions are in place, instead of hiding and developing in a cowardly manner, why not try to become the uncrowned king of the Fenglan Universe Kingdom?"

Unfortunately, the Fire Cloud Realm Lord's divine kingdom can no longer be visited.

Although hiding it within the World Lord's inner world would offer a considerable chance of evading detection, Perseus did not want to take any risks, especially since he would be bringing the seed of the Soul-Binding Wood Seal with him on this trip.

Just to be on the safe side, it's best to take your time and explore the dark universe.

……

Perseus chose the Stone Silicon Empire as the first stop in his extensive search across the Wind and Wave Universe.

Although the Stone Silicon Empire and the Bright Light Empire are separated by the Moon Shadow Empire.

However, the royal family of the Stone Silicon Empire, the Stone Silicon Clan, is quite talented in the Law of Earth, and their chances of meeting the promotion standards at the peak of the Realm Lord level are higher.

This voyage lasted three months.

Three months later, Perseus arrived in the Tianyun star system of the Moonshadow Empire. He originally wanted to go directly to the Stone Silicon Empire, but considering that the Moonshadow Empire was also a tough nut to crack, Perseus immediately changed his mind.

"Number 1, change course first."

"The news on the Dark Night Forum says that Wu Ling, the Lord of the Moon Shadow Empire, spends most of his time in the Yin Erosion Secret Realm of the Tianyun Star System. Perhaps we can go and plant a seed there first."

Number 1, of course, had no objection to this.

Whether you herd one sheep or two, it's all the same. For Perseus, a peak Realm Lord is a piece of cake.

……

three days later.

In a gloomy, secret place overgrown with all sorts of strange plants.

"Lord Wuling, you have allowed your clansmen to harm my disciples. Today is your death day—"

The spear, wreathed in dark purple flames, crashed down.

The towering mountain shattered, sending countless pebbles flying. A gaunt figure, his face contorted with rage, burst forth from the pile of rocks below, looking up at the masked man above in front of the many powerful figures around him.

"Who is your disciple?"

"Are you crazy? I don't even know what happened... Ah—!!!"

Another terrifying gunshot.

The flames exploded, and the lower half of Wu Ling Realm Lord's body turned into nothingness. He looked up in horror, about to say something.

"Whoosh!"

A dark chain rapidly extended from a distance, continuously circling and binding him before throwing him into a circle that suddenly appeared to the side.

Perseus then turned his head again and looked down at a nervous world lord who was trembling as he ascended into the air, wearing the emblem of Bloodwave Planet on his chest.

"My friend, you must have misunderstood..."

There is no misunderstanding.

"I mean, this is, after all, a secret realm under the jurisdiction of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance..."

"If you need anything, talk to Immortal!"

Perseus brazenly rushed into the void opened by the Qiankun Circle, appearing in another area, blocking Wu Ling Realm Lord who was trying to escape by taking out a spaceship, and pointed his finger.

The pink mist spread rapidly.

Lord Wu Ling fell into a coma.

At the same time, a cold snort, tinged with disdain, came from the ever-shrinking circle.

"Even a lone wolf dares to offend me."

"Just wait!"

"If you can't pay the ransom, you can just wait to die—"

The circle disappeared quickly.

The other domain lords and realm lords who emerged from various parts of the secret realm looked at each other, muttering to themselves that this Wu Ling realm lord was really unlucky.

However, to severely injure a peak Realm Lord with a single blow, it's highly likely that the opponent deliberately held back... Goodness, they dare not get involved with such a powerful figure who can rival an Immortal Military Lord.

Therefore, he only glanced with pity at the place where the Qiankun Circle had disappeared.

These powerful figures kept shaking their heads, thinking to themselves that Wu Ling, the Realm Lord, was probably doomed.

Even if they don't die, their entire fortune will be squeezed dry.
