Devouring the Star: Age of Cataclysm

Xuanshiling, Longmen Inn.

This is the most luxurious accommodation in the main city, covering an area of ​​60 kilometers in diameter, comparable to some small cities.

There are endless pavilions, terraces, rockery and ponds inside, and the flying birds and swimming fish complement each other, making it look like a paradise.

During its peak period, Longmen Inn could accommodate nearly 1.5 million guests, with a constant stream of people coming in and out every day.

Xuanshi's territory is vast and has a huge population flow, so business here is very good all year round.

At this moment.

The reception hall of Longmen Inn.

Nearly seven hundred beautiful receptionists in colorful uniforms stood tall and graceful, always ready to greet guests.

"Let's stop for lunch!" Lin Ye said as he looked at a younger girl wearing a purple uniform and with straight legs wrapped in black.

"???" The purple lady frowned slightly and asked in the dialect of Xuanshi Main City: "Dear guest, what are you talking about!?"

"Stay, one of the best guest rooms." Seeing the strange look from the delicate woman, Lin Ye smiled awkwardly.

"There are prices for each level of room, please let me know."

The purple-clothed girl covered her mouth and smiled, then her bright eyes turned to the wall not far away.

Above are the prices of guest rooms of different grades.

"Earth level, sky level, cloud level...then let's get a cloud level one!" Lin Ye replied indifferently.

"Cloud Level Room 251, seven big coins per day for accommodation." The girl's beautiful eyes kept looking at Lin Ye and said with a smile.

“Can we use wild beast materials to offset it?” Lin Ye looked at the girl and asked.

"Of course."

"This is the tooth of a Sky-level Fiery Mad Lion. See how many Sky-level inns it can let me stay in."

As he spoke, Lin Ye casually threw out a lion's tooth that was the size of an adult's arm and as white as jade.

"Ah!???" The girl held the tooth with both hands, and opened her mouth wide enough to swallow several large bananas.

Under the bright lights in the hall, the surface of the lion's tooth reflects a layer of moist luster, which is eye-catching.

If it weren't for the bloodstain that was too eye-catching, the purple-clothed girl would never believe that what she was holding was the tooth of a Cloud-level Flame Lion.

"Let's check it out. It's absolutely fair." Lin Ye said with a smile.

"No problem, I'll arrange it right away." The girl's expression suddenly became stern and she answered solemnly.

Then, the girl in purple uniform contacted the backstage and called over a master who specialized in identifying various levels of wild beasts.

"Take your time to identify it, don't be in a hurry!"

His voice seemed to have magic, attracting a lot of attention as soon as he opened his mouth.

Without him.

These cloud-level wild beasts are extremely terrifying to the other guests.

Any wild beast in the sky can easily wreak havoc on hundreds or thousands of sky-level warriors.

Soon, the identification of the Fiery Lion's teeth was completed.

"Respected Sir, this lion's fang belongs to a Cloud-level Fiery Mad Lion."

After the identification was completed, the old man held the lion's tooth in both hands and answered respectfully.

"Then how much is this lion's tooth worth!?" Lin Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the girl leisurely, and asked.

"My Lord, the materials of the Cloud-level Wild Beast are no longer measured in large coins, but in purple knife coins (treasure coins)."

The girl had a respectful look on her face, and her expression was full of little stars as she looked at Lin Ye.

the reason is simple.

The girl admires the strong, especially the strong man in front of her who can kill wild beasts!
"Take it. Don't ask for change. I'll serve you delicious food and drinks."

"As for the extra, it will be your reward."

Lin Ye waved his hand at any time and spoke nonchalantly.

It's like I'm a rich man with a lot of money.

"Oh! Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!" Upon hearing this, the purple-clothed waitress was immediately surprised.

"Please come this way, sir. I will immediately arrange the best food for you. Follow me!!"

After handing the lion's fang to the old man, the woman excitedly walked in front of Lin Ye and led the way for him.

"Ok!"

Lin Ye nodded, then looked at the woman deeply and followed her upstairs.

After the two of them entered the box together, Lin Ye directly released his mental power to isolate the surroundings.

"Sir, what do you want to do?!" The waitress, whose strength was only at the sky level, felt the changes around her and was delighted.

"Nothing, just asking you something!"

"Whatever you want to ask, I will tell you one by one, honestly." The woman said with great respect.

"No need! I'll come myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible spiritual power swept out from Lin Ye's sea of ​​consciousness and went straight through the woman's soul.

This is the mysterious magic he discovered by combining the magic of Galesi and the illusion of Tongtian Bridge with the soul secrets created by Venerable Fenchen.
In an instant, information about Xuanshi Territory came flooding in like a tide.

After a few breaths, Lin Ye's understanding of the entire Xuanshi main city suddenly became clear.

"The Black Flame Family and the Dugu Family... these two families are among the largest families in Xuanshi City, so they will most likely have Blood Luo Crystals."

Lin Ye was thinking quietly in his mind, and then he let the woman in purple go on a whim.

"Young Master, I think that woman was quite pretty. You didn't take advantage of her entering the illusion to have sex with her. You have really changed, haven't you?"

Chan'er's teasing voice rang in his mind, and Lin Ye suddenly felt speechless.

"! Stop! I'm not a man who eats anything when he's hungry!!"

Lin Ye's rebuttal was powerful and he was trying to maintain his own dignity.

After joking with Li Chan'er, Lin Ye carefully analyzed the various families and organizations in the main city of Xuanshi in his mind.

As a waitress at Longmen Inn, the woman comes into contact with a large number of people every day.

Over time, I became very familiar with the entire Xuanshi main city.

The Black Flame Family and the Lonely Family are considered to be the top families.

It can be said that he is the unrivaled one!
Next.

They are the Nine Swords Sect, the Beast Taming Sect, the Puppet Sect... and other superior forces.

Even the Storm Mercenaries, which possess the Cloud-level combat power of Blood Killer, can only be considered a medium-sized force.

"A domain-level expert can only serve as a lord after being recognized by the Immortal Temple. This means that they must fuse a blood crystal."

"If that's the case, then the Black Flame of the City Lord's family must have Blood Crystals... maybe even the Lonely Family has Blood Crystals..."

Lin Ye murmured in his heart and analyzed quickly.

In less than a minute, he had made his decision.

"So the first target is the Black Flame Family!!"

Lin Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a fleeting gleam of brilliance in his eyes.

Now he is also at the peak realm of Domain Lord, proficient in the five fundamental laws of 'fire, water, wind, thunder, and space', and has countless secret techniques.

In terms of strength, he can basically crush a group of domain masters and world masters, and can even compete with ordinary immortal gods.

This is where Lin Ye’s confidence comes from!
Even without the Blood Flame Divine Weapon, the Thousand Star Udumbara Flower, and many high-level Force weapons and combat uniforms, he was still very confident!
Although the Black Flame Family is the strongest family in the entire Xuanshi Territory, it has two domain-level masters in charge, including the city lord.

But what does this have to do with Lin Ye, who was able to clear the tenth level of Tongtian Bridge?

"Eat and drink well and take a rest first, then go to the Black Flame Family tomorrow." Looking at the increasingly dark night outside the window, Lin Ye seemed to smell the aroma of food.

For a moment, he began to look forward to the delicacies of this Xueluo world.

……

The moon sets and the crow crows.

The cold moonlight continuously shines on the Xueluo Continent, which is almost the same as the night scene on Earth.

The earth fell into silence.

However, there was some commotion among the forces somewhere in Xuanshiling.

Inside the conference hall, several elders of the Beast Taming Sect, including Sect Master He, had different opinions on their attitude towards Lin Ye's side.

"No! We, the Beast Tamers, have accumulated a lot of wealth and honor over the years, and we will never allow ourselves to bow down to others!"

A bald old man said indignantly, clearly resisting any attempt to show goodwill to Lin Ye.

"**, I think you've had enough of living!!"

Another middle-aged man holding a purple clay teapot retorted with a look of disdain: "Do you know how powerful that domain-level expert is!?"

"He knocked my son off the wild beast with just one slap. That was a Cloud-level expert, and he barely had time to react before being beaten."

"If it were you, could you do it like that mysterious person!?"

"You..." Hearing these words, the old man was speechless.

In fact, he couldn't find any reason to refute it.

The facts are here.

"How about we report this matter to Lord Heiyan and Lord Dugu, and tell them that a powerful domain-level expert of unknown origin is eyeing our Xuanshi Ridge covetously!"

At the round table, a man with white hair, pointed ears and monkey-like face spoke.

His voice was hoarse and sounded like two rusty iron plates rubbing against each other, very harsh.

"Your Excellency the City Lord, this is a good idea!"

The door at the main seat made the final decision. He looked at the white-haired old man who gave the suggestion and said, "Since you have made the suggestion, you should carry it out."

Pointed ears and monkey cheeks: "..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the animal trainers around the round table looked at the old man, with mockery written all over their faces.

"Okay! I'll go!"

Faced with the ridicule of the crowd, the old man frowned and then responded.

"Humph!!"

After a dissatisfied snort, the highest meeting of the Beast Taming Sect came to an end.

……

Lin Ye’s appearance naturally caused some people to worry and others to be happy.

"Pass the order on. All members of the Storm Mercenary Group must go to the Dragon Gate Inn every day to pay respect to Lord Ye. As for the reason... it's because he saved the lives of our entire group and is our benefactor."

Xue Sha looked at the few remaining Sky-level brothers at the conference table and couldn't help feeling sad.

However, all these sorrows disappeared completely after thinking of Lin Ye.

He firmly believed that with the help of Lin Ye's strength and deterrence, the Storm Mercenary Group would definitely be taken to a higher level.

But there is a prerequisite, he must seize the opportunity when Lin Ye is here!!

"This meeting ends here, you may go home."

The bearded man, Xue Sha, looked at the few remaining brothers, waved his hand gently, and said, "Let me think about how to repay this Lord Ye."

As he spoke, Xue Sha was thinking about the women of marriageable age in the mercenary group...

……

The next morning.

Lin Ye practiced as usual, releasing his mental power to connect with the fluctuations of the universe and sense the changes in the surrounding atmosphere.

"Huh? The Blood Killer is coming!" Lin Ye opened his eyes slightly, revealing a sharp light.

As the leader of the Storm Mercenary Group of Xuanshi, even though he had just been promoted to the Yunxiao level, he was still respected by many people.

In this world where strength is respected, they only believe in the strong.

"Bloody Kill, Cloud Level 251!" Lin Ye transmitted the message directly.

"Got it!" Xuesha said respectfully.

Soon, a burly bearded man appeared at Lin Ye's door.

"come in!"

As Lin Ye's voice fell, Xue Sha pushed the door open and entered the room.

In the room lobby.

Lin Ye and Xue Sha sat opposite each other, around a square tea table.

"Lord Ye, if you hadn't helped us yesterday, our Storm Mercenary Group would have been wiped out at the hands of the wild beast!" As he said this, excitement appeared on Xuesha's face.

"I am willing to offer the entire Storm Mercenary Group to repay your great kindness."

"I don't want the Storm Mercenaries!" Lin Ye refused directly.

"Tell me some information about the ruins of the ancient gods."

Lin Ye looked at Xue Sha, wanting to learn more about the ancient god ruins.

Although he found some relevant information in the database of the Virtual Universe Company.

Ancient God Ruins: With a diameter of hundreds of billions of kilometers, it is the site of an ancient battlefield.

Even the Virtual Universe Company recorded very little information about the Ancient Gods’ ruins, as if something was deliberately hidden.

However, in order to train the core members, a lot of key information has been hidden, and Lin Ye is unable to view it with his current authority.

As a last resort.

He could only recall the plot of the original novel of Swallowed Star while asking the indigenous human race of the Xueluo world about the situation.

"The ruins of the ancient gods!?"

Hearing this, Xue Sha's face trembled slightly, as if he thought of some not-so-pleasant memories.

But when he looked at Lin Ye's slightly expectant eyes, he suddenly became spirited.

"Lord Ye, I want to tell you~" Suddenly, Xuesha became mysterious.

"You know, every Cloud-level person in our Xueluo world who breaks through the eighteen layers of clouds and flies into the outer void will be killed by the alien race!"

"There is one more secret!"

"you say!"

"It is said that a long time ago, the immortal gods of the Xueluo world formed an alliance and fought a great battle with the terrifying and powerful beings from the outer space tribe.
“I heard from some of the seniors who survived that the battle was extremely brutal, with countless Domain-level and World-level experts killed or injured. As for the Cloud-level experts… they were simply cannon fodder among cannon fodders!!”

“Even many immortal gods fell there, and that battlefield where the gods fell was called—”

"Ancient! God! Ruins!"

Hearing this, Lin Ye just smiled and didn't say much.

The natives of the Xueluo world are not clear about this, but he understands it very well.

The giant "alien race" of the Virtual Universe Company is not something that a small Xue Luo World can contend with.

Apart from anything else, even if our master, Venerable Fenchen, came, he could easily sweep across the entire world. (End of this chapter)
