Devouring the Star: Age of Cataclysm

The mansion where Lin Ye is located is a fragment of a star numbered 294792739.

The diameter of this continent is about 64000 kilometers, and its area is several times larger than that of the Earth.

However, compared to the spherical shape of the earth, this piece of star fragment is a complete irregular rectangle, and when spread out, it is very huge.

No one would have thought that such a large area of ​​​​the universe's stars was just the territory of a member of the original secret realm.

It's so luxurious!
Inside the mansion, there is a guard team of a thousand people.

The burly man in the lead was none other than Venerable Fenchen’s former follower, Marquis of Skyfire Carlos.

Among the ten generals behind him, Wuyi is not a ninth-level realm master.

Between the eyebrows of every realm master, there is a mark emitting rich fluctuations of the original laws, which is extremely powerful.

Behind these world masters.

Closely following the team leader composed of one hundred domain lord-level powerhouses, leading a thousand universe-level warriors.

The above is the strength distribution of Lin Ye’s guards. This guard lineup is terrifying and can easily sweep across a medium-sized cosmic civilization.

In addition, there are more than 100,000 servants and some super-giant mechanical facilities, who rely on them to maintain the operation of the entire star fragment.

Somewhere in the mansion.

Lin Ye and Carlos stood opposite each other, and the former instructed: "Carlos, starting today I am going to concentrate on my training for a while, so don't let anyone disturb me."

After finding a quiet little building deep in the mansion, Lin Ye prepared to absorb and digest all the insights he had gained in the past thirty years in Chaos City.

For him, turning his insights into improving his own strength is the most important thing!

Hearing Lin Ye's words, Carlos raised his thick black eyebrows slightly and said, "Your Highness, I have something to report."

Lin Ye took a deep breath and said softly, "Tell me about it."

"Your Highness, can't you even disturb the four ladies?!"

Carlos said respectfully with a playful smile on his face.

Lin Ye raised his eyebrows slightly and snorted: "Hmph╭(╯^╰)╮!!"

"In fact, the old master has arranged for four young ladies to come in, but the four of them only have the right to live in this primitive secret realm and do not enjoy any other privileges."

"In addition, for every year a person lives there, they must pay the Virtual Universe Company ten Hunyuan units of funds as rent."

Lin Ye only felt that his forehead was covered with black lines.

"Ten Hunyuan units a year, this is faster than robbing money!" He couldn't help but growl and looked at Carlos: "Why is our Virtual Universe Company so black-hearted?"

"No no no!!"

After these words came out, Carlos shook his head repeatedly: "Others who want to spend this money to enter the original secret realm have no chance."

"Only a powerful person like the master can talk to the Virtual Universe Company and grant a little leniency. However, this opportunity is based on the fact that you are a member of the Original Secret Realm."

"Not only the members of the original secret realm, but also the best of the other three secret realms can bring their families into the secret realm. However, the price will undoubtedly be several times higher than these ten Hunyuan units!!"

"..."

Lin Ye: "..."

After listening to Carlos' explanation, Lin Ye suddenly felt speechless.

Similarly, he also understood why Luo Feng in the original novel did not allow Xu Xin to enter the Taichu Secret Realm to accompany him.

This virtual universe company... is so shady!!
It's a place where wealth is extracted!

"Forget it, bring the four of them to see me."

Lin Ye looked at Carlos and suddenly felt helpless.

"Forty Hunyuan units a year, that's four hundred thousand in ten thousand years!"

Lin Ye sighed in a low voice.

Carlos listened to these words and couldn't help but said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. All these expenses are charged to Venerable Fenchen. Now I am just keeping an account for you."

"Of course, I won't charge you interest."

Lin Ye gave Carlos a blank look, and immediately separated a wisp of consciousness to connect to the virtual universe network.

……

Virtual universe, Manor No. 112 in the original area.

Lin Ye appeared in the study.

He sat in a chair, turned on his laptop, and went directly to the study section.

The learning column is mainly divided into 'theory' and 'practice'

The teachers of the theoretical courses are at least at the immortal level, and there will even be cosmic masters who come to give lectures.

Whether it is the eight lower-level original laws of the universe, or the two most difficult original laws of time and space, there are great beings giving lectures.

There is no need to worry about your own understanding of the laws.

Among them, there are 'Water, Space' and 'Fire, Space'... a series of mixed courses.

These courses on mixed laws are of great interest to Lin Ye.

the reason is simple.

What he has to take now is the path of integrating several fundamental laws.

After reading the "Theory" in the learning column, Lin Ye clicked on the "Practice" in this column.

Wow! !

The practice section is divided into three major items - 'Bridge to Heaven', 'Sea of ​​Illusion' and 'Immortal Altar', each of which is accompanied by a detailed introduction.

Tongtian Bridge: All core members of the Virtual Universe Company are eligible to cross the Tongtian Bridge. It tests one's understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe. The deeper the understanding, the more levels of Tongtian Bridge one can pass through and the higher the points one gets.

Sea of ​​Illusion: It tests the consciousness strength and will of the practitioner, which is extremely important for practice, breaking through bottlenecks, fighting, etc. Go deeper from the outside... The deeper you go into the Sea of ​​Illusion, the more points you will get.

Immortal Altar: Tongtian Bridge, a test of physical strength. Different practitioners have different physical strength effects. The limit of physical strength under perfect control is 100 units... The stronger the strength, the more points you get.

"It really is the Sea of ​​Illusion and the Immortal Altar." Lin Ye looked at the introduction in the 'Practice' column and couldn't help but say.

"Yes, the body, consciousness strength, will and the understanding of the origin law are all key factors necessary to break through and become immortal, especially the Immortal Altar."

Suddenly, a jade-white elf appeared on Lin Ye's shoulder and explained.

It turned out to be Chaner.

"Why!?" Lin Ye was puzzled.

"Because the Immortal Altar tests the pure strength of the body, not the explosion of various other powers!"

“Understood!!” Lin Ye nodded and said, “Let me take a look at the items for earning points first, and then go to the Immortal Altar and the Environmental Sea to test them!”

"That's right. Now that you have entered this primitive secret realm, you must follow the training plan I arranged for you and proceed step by step."

"Oh!" After hearing Chan'er's words, Lin Ye nodded slightly.

Then, he opened the backend management system and found the third column "cultivation" after the columns "life" and "study".

Wow! !

The same crimson characters jumped into my eyes——

[In my virtual universe company, points are more effective than money! ]

【…】

Next, there is an introduction to a series of ways to earn points.

In addition to the three main training projects of 'Tongtian Bridge', 'Illusionary Sea' and 'Immortal Altar', there is the choice of training projects.

Moreover, these training programs are all different levels of training in reality.

"'Safe Level', 'Normal Level', 'Difficult Level', 'Dangerous Level', and the 'Desperate Level' where the mortality rate is very high!"

Lin Ye repeatedly chewed over the levels of these training tasks, and then looked at their corresponding death rates with anticipation.

"The higher the danger level, the more points you will get after completing the task!"

Just as Lin Ye turned to the last page of instructions, another line of bright red characters jumped into his eyes -

[The road to immortality is full of crises and challenges. I wish you can enjoy this journey of growth and become an immortal being! ]

"My dear little master, there is an old saying on Earth: 'Steel is forged through repeated hammering!' You can't grow giant trees in a greenhouse."

Chan'er was still sitting on Lin Ye's shoulder, speaking with deep emotion.

"But don't be too anxious. Training can be accelerated, but it must be done at an appropriate speed."

"Too much is as bad as too little! You should first transform all your insights gained in Chaos City into an actual increase in your combat power, and then you can consider the training mission." "Yes, that's what I plan to do too."

Lin Ye nodded, and then said: "But before that, I want to go and see what kind of good things the Illusionary Sea and the Immortal Altar are!"

"Okay!" Chan'er also nodded with a smile.

"Ding ding ding, there's a phone call!"

Without any warning, the light screen on Lin Ye's wrist suddenly lit up.

Then a little devil head with two horns on its head emerged, baring its teeth and scaring Lin Ye——

"I built this mountain and planted this tree. If you want to live from now on, leave money to buy the road!"

Babata's sarcastic voice sounded.

"Buy you big-headed ghost, if you have something to say, just say it!" Chan'er slapped Lin Ye's light curtain, scaring Babata so much that he screamed.

"Big Sister Chan'er, I just want to tease you and Lord Lin Ye!" Babata smiled flatteringly, then flew out from the light curtain and came behind Chan'er to start massaging her.

"That's pretty much it!"

Chan'er nodded, feeling a little satisfied with Babata's understanding, "What's the matter, little Babata?"

"The little madman wants to go with Master Lin Ye to explore the Immortal Altar and the Sea of ​​Illusion."

As he spoke, the little devil's eyes moved to Lin Ye, as if waiting for the latter's answer.

"We can do it together." After thinking about it, Lin Ye nodded.

Then, he contacted Luo Feng directly and started to explore the sea of ​​illusion together.

The plane of fantasy sea.

The low dark clouds almost covered the entire sky, and the chaotic clouds covered it heavily, making people feel an indescribable sense of oppression.

“Boom, boom, boom!!!”

Below the clouds, the inky black sea water was like a roaring and tumbling terrifying monster, rolling up huge waves of dozens of meters, hitting the coastline again and again.

Howling hurricanes come from unknown seas from time to time, covering the sky and the earth.

Lin Ye and Luo Feng stood at the edge of the coastline, looking at the boundless and vast fantasy sea.

"Master, is this the legendary Sea of ​​Illusion? It really puts people under great pressure."

"Well, the Illusion Sea tests the truly strong. It's not just your talent, understanding, and effort, but more importantly, your will."

"Consciousness is the soldier, will is the commander. Only with an extremely strong will can you move forward on the path of cultivation!"

"In addition, we must uphold a will as strong as a knife and be able to break through all difficulties and obstacles on the road ahead without fear!!"

Lin Ye looked at the deep seashore with rolling waves, and a sense of lofty ambition suddenly rose in his heart.

Influenced by him, Luo Feng also straightened his back, looking vigorous and heroic.

"The Sea of ​​Illusion is the will that truly belongs to you, after you put aside the external resources such as secret techniques, martial arts, and weapons."

"Xiao Fengzi, come on! Only if we show our strong talents can we get the attention of the bigwigs in the Virtual Universe Company and get more resources."

Lin Ye's eyes were dim and he spoke earnestly.

The strength of one's talent determines the upper limit of one's training.

This is the core law of the Devouring Universe.

If you want any resource, you have to show the corresponding talent!

"Okay, I'm a little excited now. I want to go through the test right away to see how strong my will is."

Luo Feng straightened his chest and spoke with confidence.

“Go! Show your talent and will without reservation!!” Lin Ye smiled and patted Luo Feng on the shoulder, with a relieved smile on the corner of his mouth.

The City Lord Luo in the original novel is now his good disciple.

And it always will be!!
"Master, I'll go first!"

After Luo Feng finished speaking, he jumped down from the cliff by the coast. Facing the dark and deep sea level, he was not afraid at all.

"Hoohoo!!"

The whistling wind blew fiercely on his face, and Luo Feng watched himself fall into the sea without blinking.

But the moment his body touched the sea level, he disappeared from Lin Ye's sight.

"Xiao Fengzi... has also started the Illusion Sea Trial, so now it's my turn!"

"In fact, I am also looking forward to my own will."

Lin Ye consoled him, a gleam of brilliance flashing in his eyes.

Then he also jumped and fell off the cliff.

……

In the Fantasy Sea, on the sandy ground of the first island.

Lin Ye stepped on the soft sand and looked at the paleness not far away.

This is the deeper island.

Only after passing through this layer of island illusion can the next island emerge in the sea of ​​illusion.

"I really want to see where my limits are!"

After saying that, Lin Ye instantly soared into the sky and rushed towards the first level of the illusion.

same moment.

Luo Feng also stood up and rushed towards the first level of the Illusion Sea with a fearless look on his face.

……

at the same time.

In the deepest part of the Fantasy Sea, on the twenty-first island.

An old man with black scales covered in a golden battle robe slowly opened his eyes, and a dazzling light burst out from them.

He is the manager of the entire Fantasy Sea.

"Huh!?"

"This kid??"

The old man in the golden robe looked into the distance with a bleak gaze, and said in a low voice: "This little fellow is only at the domain master level, but he has such a fearless will and strong consciousness.

You are indeed worthy of being Brother Fenchen's disciple. You managed to pass through the twelve islands so easily. Your willpower is really amazing."

"No wonder... he performed so well at Tongtian Bridge."

"This time, Brother Fenchen has finally found a good talent!"

The old man in the golden robe looked at the fearless Lin Ye and a gratified smile appeared on his face.

You know, the will and consciousness tested in the Sea of ​​Illusion are extraordinary.

The ninth island alone can stop most of the powerful realm masters!
Not to mention that Lin Ye rushed directly to the twelfth floor. This achievement was just as impressive as the first time he broke through the sky bridge.

But the next moment, he seemed to sense something, and his expression suddenly became strange.

"Here, there is another little guy of the ninth level of the universe!? He also broke through to the seventh level in one breath. His state of mind and consciousness have always been very nice!!"

The old man in black scale armor smiled and watched from afar as Luo Feng traveled through the islands.

"Come, let me take a look at the little guy's information."

"Hmm, a disciple of Zhenyan Wangsunhou!? Or a disciple of Lin Ye?"

“Tsk tsk tsk… If you think about it, isn’t he the disciple of Brother Fenchen? It turns out that they are both strong!!!”

A hint of surprise flashed across the old guard's face, and then he looked at Lin Ye and Luo Feng with burning eyes, looking forward to their follow-up.

"The strength of consciousness is not strong enough, but it can be compensated by the willpower in the previous fight... The willpower of these two guys is very strong."

"No, no! I have to share this good news with Brother Fenchen and make him happy!"

With a sigh in a low voice, the old man directly dialed the contact number of Venerable Fenchen in the virtual universe -

"Brother Fenchen, I am ****, your apprentice is here."

"..."
