The closer Zhou Leng got to Mount Many Clouds, the more alien giants, alien dragons, and divine spirits he encountered. The nearby divine spirits were particularly irritable.
He cut through the enemies along the way, slowly building up the montum of his "Blazing Fire Fist".
The air around his body condensed into clumps of fiery light, spreading twenty ters wide, resembling a giant lantern.
Unknowingly, he had slain over a hundred grandmasters.
Suddenly, a large group of divine spirits charged forward. They were warhorses, clad in dragon scales, with sharp silvery-white tallic spikes erging from their entire bodies.
Not only were there many upper-rank grandmasters but also three grandmasters.
Zhou Leng had just entered the upper rank and had yet to reach the peak. Facing one or two grandmasters, he could still stand a fight, but against three grandmasters along with three or four dozen upper-rank grandmasters...
He suddenly rembered a move from the "Jade Wings", gathered the full might of his stellar true energy, and light surged through his body, illuminating his skin in tandem with the fist flas blazing all over the sky, his montum suddenly increased.
Zhou Leng shouted in divine text, "I am the envoy of the Star of Death, here to worship My God. Are you the people of God?"
Maintaining his speed, he looked at the spiky dragon horse group with a very calm deanor.
Unlike the relatively kind-hearted Dragon Carp People, the spiky dragon horses were extrely irritable, prone to attacks, preferring to live in groups, and capable of very high speeds. Once encountered, it was a matter of life or death.
The spiky dragon horse group originally prepared to charge but stopped upon hearing the divine text and the divine na of the "Star of Death", stirring the star of death’s bloodline power within them.
"We too are the people of the God."
The leading grandmaster spiky dragon horse slightly lowered its head, speaking in a divine spirit language that Zhou Leng could not understand, and the other dragon horses stopped and lowered their heads in unison.
Then, they watched Zhou Leng disappear into the pale red mist.
After running a great distance, Zhou Leng finally gathered his power and let out a sigh of relief.
As expected, the True King Land is indeed dangerous.
Continuing forward, he unexpectedly no longer encountered any divine spirits and reached the foot of Mount Many Clouds safely.
Looking up, the mountain’s height was imasurable; looking to either side, there was no end in sight.
Mount Many Clouds was entirely brown-red, like rust, or like dried bloodstains.
Running along the foot of the mountain for a while, he quickly reached a low peak and began to ascend.
The mountainside was steep, nearly a 90-degree vertical slope, but Zhou Leng ran up with each step firmly embedded in the mountainside, as if walking on flat ground.
Reaching the top of the low mountain, he looked around.
Far away, Mount Many Clouds was surrounded by dense red clouds, with undulating mountains stretching endlessly.
Based on previous experiences, Mount Many Clouds was rather safe because many divine spirits dared not co here.
However, there were also so extrely peculiar places believed to be transford by the souls or remaining powers of divine spirits that would surely result in death if encountered.
Zhou Leng proceeded cautiously; this place was practically like accidentally entering the Spiritual Land on a Great Battlefield. If not for the blessings of the Starry Giant and Dragon God, he wouldn’t dare to enter.
Running along the map, he quickly saw a distinctly different area.
Elsewhere were rolling brown-red mountains, but ahead was a stretch of black land with so peaks shining black.
Disaster Land.
The faint red mist nearby was dispersed by an invisible force.
Clearly separated by dozens of kiloters, a dense destruction star force ca rushing at him with just a glance.
A regular upper-rank grandmaster standing here would already be in stabbing pain over their entire body, with skin festering.
Electric glow flickered over Zhou Leng’s body, as the invisible destruction star force crashed against his Undying Star Body with a sizzling sound, flashing with light.
His clothes ignited without fire, crumbling into powder.
"The intensity of this destruction star force..."
Zhou Leng imdiately used the power of the Undying Star Body to protect his magic spirit bag and shorts, as most demon spirit artifacts couldn’t withstand the destruction star force for long, except for the space wooden box.
Bare-chested and barefoot, he dashed into the Disaster Land.
Shhh... Sizzle...
Zhou Leng’s entire body glowed, like a person of light, running through the Disaster Land.
At the sa ti, he narrowed his eyes, carefully observing the nearby Disaster Land.
The Little Elf teacher, Giant Dragon, and Dragon Carp People all ntioned information about Mount Many Clouds; a careful sense would surely lead to finding the fatal star core.
The fatal star core was the heart of a powerful celestial body, containing unique powers. Once close, a subtle suction force could be felt.
All stellar treasures have various properties that affect the human body because they are so powerful.
For example, this black Disaster Land could also be considered a kind of stellar treasure to so extent, except ordinary people couldn’t use it, and the divine spirits overlooked it.
After running for over ten minutes, Zhou Leng suddenly stopped and looked to the left front, where there seed to be so power.
His skin felt a peculiar suction, a bit like two magnets close together, on the verge of attracting but not yet.
"Treasure..."
Zhou Leng wasn’t sure if it was the fatal star core, so he headed straight over.
A fist-sized gem wedged in a crevice emitted a red glow from within, radiating a massive attractive force while also releasing a powerful destruction star force.
"The Divine Script Ruins remnants seem to describe sothing like this... Stellar Crystal, mostly part of a star, so decompose into normal matter after leaving the star, but others maintain this high-density state. So the fatal star core fragnt is a type of Stellar Crystal..."
Zhou Leng squeezed into the crevice and exerted all his strength to extract it.
Holding it in hand, the Stellar Crystal spewed destruction star force, striking his palm with a crackling noise.
Upon careful sensing, this level of destruction star force was enough to inflict continuous harm on upper-rank grandmasters within a kiloter radius.
Even with a protective true qi, without stellar capability, one would still get hurt and potentially incur irreversible damage.
Zhou Leng gently weighed it in his hand.
"This weight... heavier than a 500-ton level grandmaster dumbbell... those dumbbells imbued with countless Legendary Demon Spirit Techniques..."
"Since it’s a Stellar Crystal, it could be processed using the Divine Script remnants thod..."
Zhou Leng released subtle star energy from his palm, forming a strange, glass-like power that enveloped the entire star crystal.
The star crystal no longer emitted destructive star power.
Placed it into a spatial wooden box and continued walking forward, soon sensing a peculiar fluctuation.
Walked over and found a gigantic wall.
Inside ca a unique suction force, different from the star crystal earlier.
Swung his fist, punching through the air.
Bam bam bam...
The hard mountain wall kept shattering, cracking, stones tumbling down in a cascade.
Power pierced through the void, with the fist not touching matter, unaffected by counterforce.
Newton’s coffin board finally couldn’t suppress the martial artists.
Zhou Leng shattered a large section of the mountain, dug into over ten ters deep, and retrieved a thumb-sized star crystal.
Lighter than the previous star crystal, lacking destructive star power, yet possessing a peculiar quality.
All external forces around it were deflected, forming a spherical, invisible power around it.
Once released, the crystal surprisingly floated in midair.
"The universe is indeed extraordinarily wondrous..."
Zhou Leng didn’t understand what this was, but with such magical power, it was surely a treasure.
Kept it.
Continuing forward, sensing peculiar star crystals roughly every few minutes.
Three hours passed, collecting a total of seven deadly star cores and various other enigmatic crystals.
Initially, Zhou Leng thought he was lucky, but quickly realized.
It wasn’t good luck, it’s that nobody ca here at all.
Divine spirits feared the terrifying legend, while other upper-rank grandmasters lacked the ability to enter.
The terrifying disaster land beca his fortune land.
Zhou Leng transford into a treasure-picking expert, quickening his pace, harvesting nature’s gifts.
In a far-off part of the disaster land, Zhou Leng couldn’t see beyond the red clouds, a dark shadow watched him, eyes full of doubt.
The shadow hesitated for a long ti, but due to the powerful divine spirit aura around Zhou Leng, and having once heard him claim to be an envoy of the Star of Death, ultimately abandoned action.
He simply watched this outsider silently.
As for the treasures Zhou Leng considered, to that shadow, they were akin to re stones.
A trash picker.
Two days and two nights, picking treasures.
Then found a safe place, activated the Undying Star Body and cultivated for a full day and night.
The intensity of the destructive star power here was just right, a bit weaker would reduce cultivation effects.
Any stronger, his body might suffer serious damage.
Finishing cultivation, Zhou Leng stood up, the light sparked on him by the destructive star power had weakened considerably.
More destructive star power was absorbed by the Undying Star Body or redirected, rather than clashing.
In the consciousness space, the power of the Ceres phantom grew weaker, with more power absorbed by himself.
Once he fully absorbed the power of that phantom, he would form a connection with Ceres, eventually able to alter its orbit with his mind.
When ascending to Void God, following Shen Yunxian’s sister’s teachings, he could use Ceres as a foundation to establish his own asteroid belt.
Glancing at the spatial wooden box, thousands of various star crystals had amassed within.
The number of deadly star cores reached over three hundred.
More than enough for crafting a demigod training room, and could also exchange for various divine dicines.
In the Ten Realms, deadly star cores are essential materials for creating special half-divine artifacts, not available for purchase, only obtainable through bartering and not always present.
The Demon Spirit World couldn’t accumulate this many deadly star cores in ten thousand years.
"With so many deadly star cores, I should be able to forge so legendary high-grade half-divine artifacts..."
Thinking of this, Zhou Leng tried to unleash the high-grade half-divine artifact Ice Armor from the Giant World.
A powerful icy aura perated around him, with destructive star power crackling on the cold air.
The dignified high-grade half-divine artifact Ice Armor, its power slowly diminishing.
Calculating this, at most 24 hours, the Ice Armor’s power will be exhausted, and its defense will be breached.
Zhou Leng shook his head, indeed, each field has its own specialization, this half-divine artifact isn’t suitable for defending against star force, stowed it away.
Lifted his head, surveyed the pitch-black disaster land.
If he continued searching, surely more treasures to be found.
But venturing further may lead to greater danger.
Jade Wings say... ugh!
Zhou Leng thought for a mont, his gains tenfold beyond expectations, he could leave.
But to be safe, employed a little trick from Jade Wings, clasped his fists, and with divine text said: "I am Zhou Tianji Han of the human ten thousand nations winter, as the heir of the Starry Giant and Dragon God, I co here to seek treasures for crafting half-divine artifacts and saving friends, deeply grateful to the senior for their generous tolerance and generous gifts. If given the chance, I shall repay with all my strength!"
This sentence alone packed with nurous small nuances, full of wit.
Zhou Leng turned around, retracing his steps, not greedy in the slightest.
"Oh?"
