Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 102

After finishing the routine, the man let out a heavy sigh of relief and wiped away non-existent sweat from his forehead.

"I've reached my physical limit!"

Lu Yunhe felt his nearly depleted genetic energy; if he stayed any longer, he might not even have the ability to leave.

When the Star Ring was first created, some people did forget to prepare when they entered the Gravity Corridor and were drained of their life force by the Death Star, serving as a warning to future generations.

Lu Yunhe glanced at the long gravity corridor, then turned and left.

Drip!

"Your Highness!"

After the gravity corridor doors opened, robot 0115 immediately awoke from hibernation, circled around Lu Yunhe's feet, and began to lead the way.

"Your Highness, you've reached a gravity zone of 450 million times the normal level on your first entry into the gravity corridor. This progress surpasses 99% of first-time entrants," the robot congratulated. If the environment allowed, it might have even prepared to set off an electronic firework.

As for the remaining one percent, they are all those who have been immersed in the cosmic level for a long time. After all, not everyone is as brave as Lu Yunhe and Luo Feng, who dared to take on the ultimate mission less than a hundred years after arriving in the four great secret realms.

Because there is a limit to the total number of dangerous and extreme missions, many cosmic-level members first complete a number of ordinary missions to accumulate some wealth and survival skills before daring to take on these missions.

Lu Yunhe glanced at the crowd around him along the way. Most of them were unfamiliar faces, and none of the genius battle members from his batch were there.

Just as Lu Yunhe was about to return to the safe house to recover, a hearty laugh suddenly came from behind him:

"Friends, please stay!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yunhe, who was already feeling somewhat exhausted, felt a chill run down his spine and immediately decided to leave quickly.

Unfortunately, the newcomer was faster. In the blink of an eye, a man dressed in black appeared beside Lu Yunhe.

"you are?"

Since he had been stopped, Lu Yunhe suppressed his emotions and asked in confusion.

"My name is 'Lotu,' and I'm a member of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance." Lotu laughed heartily. "I'm here today to get to know you and make friends."

"Make friends? We probably don't know each other before!" Lu Yunhe was even more puzzled.

“Brother Lu may not have known me before, but we are even more curious about you!” Luo Tu said, “Although the five major human forces are strong and weak, the gap between them is not that big for us cosmic-level members.”

“But now that Virtual Universe Company has produced a genius like Brother Lu, it has completely pulled ahead of us by a whole level!” Luo Tu exclaimed.

If they were slightly inferior, the gap could be considered small, but once they entered the core secret realm, they had already surpassed their accumulation of hundreds or thousands of years. No matter how confident they were in themselves, they could only tell themselves, "The future is promising."

Lu Yunhe nodded. There was no need to be overly modest at this point, since it was the truth.

"Brother Lu is truly skilled and daring. He's only just entered the core secret realm for training, yet he dares to accept a mission of the highest level." A look of surprise flashed across Luo Tu's eyes. He had spent hundreds of years at the cosmic level, accumulating a substantial fortune before daring to attempt a mission of the highest level, and he wouldn't even dare to accept missions ranked among the top.

"Just a little bit of skill!" Lu Yunhe shook his head slightly, after all, the so-called desperate situation was only for the universe level.

"Methods!" Luo Tu chuckled slightly, then after exchanging a few words, seeing Lu Yunhe's tired expression, he didn't continue.

"Brother Lu, I won't disturb your rest any longer. Let's chat again another time!"

"I've already disturbed you!" Lu Yunhe looked at Luo Tu as he walked away, wanting to say this, but he didn't say it out loud.

Chapter 160 Neutron Star

"But is this Luo Tu really just looking to make some connections?"

Lu Yunhe pondered for a moment, then shook off the extra thoughts and quickly returned to the safe house, putting Luo Tu out of his mind.

The moment he returned to his room, the power that had been devouring his genetic energy vanished instantly. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Yunhe took out a large amount of cultivation resources from the "Primal True Body" and began to absorb them. His body, already pushed to its limits, greedily absorbed these resources.

It must be said that pushing oneself to the limit is indeed a relatively quick way to improve physical fitness.

Under such extreme pressure, Lu Yunhe gained a deeper understanding of the divine body amplification method in "The Original True Body".

"However, once you reach the World Lord level, it will probably take the gravitational pull of a black hole to bring your body to its limit!"

This is why, starting from the Realm Lord level, if they want to advance, they have to go to the outer battlefields or secret realms, because the normal natural environment can no longer harm them.

A day later, Lu Yunhe's body returned to its peak, and then he went to the Gravity Corridor to continue to hone his body to its limit.

This cycle repeated itself, and Lu Yunhe became completely immersed in the cultivation of gravity.

During this period, Lu Yunhe would occasionally "coincidentally" run into Luo Tu after finishing his cultivation and chat for a few minutes.

As the saying goes, one cannot hit a smiling face. Although Lu Yunhe dislikes socializing, he can accept chatting with someone occasionally.

Ten years later!

Near the end of the long star-ring corridor, a man with a bare upper body and scales on his chest was exercising with great difficulty.

On the metal wall next to the corridor, it was clearly marked "10 billion times gravity".

That's right. After ten years of training, Lu Yunhe, at full strength, is now able to withstand billions of times the force of gravity during training.

However, even under such extreme gravity, Lu Yunhe had to activate the Blood Luo Power and rely on his attributes, which were 50 times that of a ninth-tier cosmic-level being, to survive.

woohoo hoo...

Lu Yunhe swung his fists and feet, performing some of the simplest basic exercises. Due to the influence of the Death Star's power, his energy-consuming moves were not very practical.

"It's done!"

Just then, Lu Yunhe's body trembled slightly, and a power completely different from his body's genes surged once again.

"The Second Level of the Original True Form!"

With a fourfold increase, fivefold increase in basic genes, and tenfold increase in Bloodlust power, Lu Yunhe's overall attributes instantly reached two hundred times the level of a cosmic ninth rank.

After ten years of honing his skills and accumulating abundant resources, Lu Yunhe finally mastered the second level of the "Original True Body," achieving a fourfold increase in divine physique—a rather impressive pace.

"enough!"

Having mastered the second level of the "Primal True Body," there was no longer any need for Lu Yunhe to stay here. After all, the resources and time required to reach the third level were not particularly necessary for him at this point.

"rush!"

With the completion of the second stage of "Original True Form", Lu Yunhe's physical condition also reached its peak, directly resisting hundreds of billions of times the gravity and rushing towards the end of the corridor.

Given his current genetic level and divine body amplification, if he can't pass through the gravity corridor, then practically no one at the cosmic level can.

boom!

After a few breaths of unleashing his full power, Lu Yunhe rushed into the transparent room at the end of the gravity corridor, where he saw... a lump of something that looked like a noodle ball.

Meanwhile, the virtual universe network announced the completion of Mission 3. The ten-year survival mission, calculated from the moment they entered the Death Star environment, had been completed several months prior.

Neutron star!

Looking at the most dangerous celestial bodies in the universe before him, Lu Yunhe had no intention of fighting them. He quickly turned around and ran back at an even faster speed.

With his current strength, if he were to get close to a point neutron star, he probably wouldn't even be able to run away. Its gravity is at least a trillion times that of Earth, second only to a black hole in power.

"run!"

Lu Yunhe dashed across the corridor and ran all the way to the entrance of the gravity chamber before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

"Next time, a mere neutron star won't be worth my running away from!"

Thinking of the golden dragon avatar in the World Ring, Lu Yunhe, who was panting heavily, couldn't help but reveal a smile.

"The Gravity Corridor mission is complete. Now it's time to explore this Death Star land!"

Given this unique energy-absorbing environment, even a fool could guess that some treasure must be hidden in the core of the area.

"If the hidden benefits of the mission are so easy to guess, then the difficulty of obtaining them must be extremely high."

As Lu Yunhe made his guesses in his mind, he opened the gravity chamber door and prepared to return to the safe house.

"Yunhe!"

Just as Lu Yunhe was leaving, he happened to run into Luo Tu, who was also coming out of the gravity chamber.

"You've completed the Gravity Corridor mission?" Luo Tu asked curiously, noticing Lu Yunhe's unusual fatigue.

"No, it's still a little short!" Lu Yunhe replied with a regretful expression, his tone revealing a hint of reluctance.

"After all, it's a critical mission; it won't be easy for anyone to get through," Luo Tu comforted her. Then, as if remembering something, he said, "Yun He, it seems the Gravity Corridor mission won't be completed anytime soon. Would you be interested in exploring the Death Star together?"

"Although the rewards for high-level missions are good, finding just one or two precious treasures can completely offset the mission points."

“Explore the Death Star!” Lu Yunhe pondered for a moment. He had already completed two of the three major missions for the Death Star. The last one required him to approach the middle level of the Death Star to find the mission objective.

"While the Death Star mission isn't particularly difficult in dire situations, that's because of the ring system. Once you leave the ring, the danger level increases dramatically within that ten-light-year radius."

"This should be your first time undertaking a critical mission, Yunhe. It's safer to have someone look after you," Luo Tu said sincerely.

"No need, I prefer to act alone!" Lu Yunhe refused directly, showing no intention of exploring with others for a mission of extreme difficulty.

"All right!"

Seeing that Lu Yunhe refused so decisively, Luo Tu did not persist and then sent an email to Lu Yunhe through the virtual intelligent assistant.

"This contains the information I've collected during my exploration of the Death Star. I hope it will be helpful to you!"

After sending the email, Lotu left immediately!

"mail!"

Back in the safe house, Lu Yunhe recovered his physical condition while reviewing the information Luo Tu had given him, which contained coordinates of many energy-devouring beasts and dangerous environments.

"This information is really useful!"

Lu Yunhe examined the marked information; it was indeed a meticulous search. To find this information within the vast expanse of the Death Star, Luo Tu must have spent a considerable amount of time here.

Chapter 161 Energy-Devouring Beast

In the vast land of the Dead Star, a pyramid-shaped spaceship is speeding through the vacuum at near-light speed! Along the way, it smashes any meteorites it encounters, thanks to its immortal-grade material.

Before long, the pyramid-shaped spaceship seemed to have passed through a thin barrier and entered another world, where huge fireballs appeared in front of the spaceship.

"star!"

Lu Yunhe, aboard the mechanical race's spaceship, sensed the change in his surroundings and instantly awoke from his meditation. As for the distant fireball, it was naturally the most fundamental celestial body in the universe—a star!

After several months of sailing, Lu Yunhe arrived at the middle level of the Death Star Land.
