Swallowing the Stars: The Rise of Emperor Wei

Earth, Atlantic Ocean, Bermuda Triangle.

Deep in the ocean, there is a huge silver-white pyramid, 1200 meters high. Although it has been there for tens of thousands of years, time has not left a trace on it.

Eight figures surrounded it from a distance; these were the eight ninth-tier slaves of the Hengxing level that Luo Feng had purchased.

The Norlan family's interstellar warship has left, but not far. Earthlings can't hide in their survival bases forever; they've all come out and resumed normal life. Luo Feng has also dispersed his Hengxing-level slaves to various countries and bases for guard and protection. Being able to arrange eight here is already a great effort.

A dark figure, over a hundred kilometers away, floated silently in the sea, holding a device resembling a telescope, observing ahead.

"What is that? Such a perfect four-cornered pyramid, it can't be a mountain, could it be... a spaceship? A machine race spaceship?" The shadowy figure was shocked. "Contact Pula immediately."

--------------

Black Dragon Mountain Island in the virtual universe, the killing arena lobby.

Gao Sheng and the Earth trio gathered together, each drinking some beverages.

Hong, a nine-star master at the ninth level of the planetary realm, has never been defeated!

Luo Feng and Gao Sheng are both level one spiritual masters, nine-star experts!

Thor, a nine-star level one martial artist!

Today, Gao Sheng seemed very relaxed, Hong seemed very excited, but Luo Feng and Lei Shen looked somewhat dejected.

"What? You ran into her too?" Thor asked in surprise.

Luo Feng said dejectedly, "Yes, she's just a martial artist. In fact, she was clearly holding back and toying with me during our fight. She could have killed me several times but let me go. Besides, I think she should have a domain. But she didn't use any domain at all and easily defeated me."

"Second brother, third brother." Hong, dressed in black, smiled.

"Losing is a good thing. Only by losing can you discover your weaknesses, and that's how you improve."

"But the loss was too crushing." Luo Feng glanced at Hong. "Big brother, are you in a good mood?" "Haha, I met a worthy opponent, a very strong one." Hong smiled and looked at Luo Feng, Lei Shen, and Gao Sheng. "If you were at the ninth level of the planetary realm, you probably wouldn't be a match for him either. He's incredibly powerful! If I hadn't recently reached the third level of the Domain realm, I wouldn't have been able to beat him either. It was truly exhilarating."

Gao Sheng laughed heartily, "I also encountered that female warrior."

"Hmm?" Luo Feng and Lei Shen both looked at Gao Sheng. "How was it?"

"I lost, I lost badly. Even if I pushed my dual domains to the limit, I was still far from enough."

"Then why do you seem to be in such a good mood?" Thor asked, puzzled.

"Because, Brother Hong is right, you can only discover your weaknesses by losing."

Gao Sheng thought to himself, "It's good that I lost. If I lose, I won't have to waste any more time here."

At this moment, a man dressed in the uniform of a killing field staff member walked over and smiled, saying, "Gentlemen, there is a master of the meditation room upstairs who would like to see you."

"The master of the meditation room?" Luo Feng was surprised and exchanged glances with Hong and Lei Shen beside him.

"Here it comes," Gao Sheng thought to himself.

"Lead the way." Gao Sheng, Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen all stood up.

The staff led the way, and we quickly ascended the spiral staircase to the second floor. The first floor was an incredibly spacious super hall, while the second floor was a quiet and beautiful maze. Within the maze were meditation rooms where many cosmic-level powerhouses, even domain lords and the lofty realm lords, resided.

"This is the room." The staff member stood smiling at the door and gently knocked.

"Come in," a deep voice rang out.

The door opened, and the staff member bowed respectfully: "Sir, I have brought the guest here."

The staff then left.

Inside the meditation room stood an incredibly burly man, his entire body a dark bluish-black, as if cast from steel.

"The four of you, please come in."

"Be careful, this is Ming Yu, a ninth-level Domain Lord." Babata said in Luo Feng's consciousness. The information shared by Xiao Ai naturally included the information of the powerful figures from the major forces in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region.

Luo Feng was secretly alarmed.

Hong and Thor were also stunned when they saw Mingyu's battle suit. On Mingyu's left chest was a medal with two planets floating on a raging sea of ​​blood.

My God! Mercenaries from a second-tier universe!

"Greetings, Your Excellency!" Gao Sheng and the other three bowed and said.

"I've been observing you for over a month." The burly man looked at the four of them, a slight smile on his face. "Since you entered the killing arena, except for a few days here and there, you've almost been training there. Am I right?"

Gao Sheng thought to himself, "You, a domain lord, are observing a few Eternal Star-level little guys for a month? You really have time for that? No way."

"But I don't understand why you guys stay in the killing field all the time. It's fine if you're there occasionally, but staying there for a long time is a waste of time!" the burly man said, puzzled.

"A waste of time?" Luo Feng frowned.

"What do you mean?" Thor frowned as well.

Hong remained silent, looking at the other person.

Gao Sheng stood quietly.

"Didn't your teachers tell you... that the fastest way to evolve, the fastest way to improve, is through training in the face of life and death?" the burly man asked in confusion.

"I understand," Thor said. "This is a life-or-death battle, an incredibly dangerous one."

"Wrong, terribly wrong." The burly man laughed, shaking his head with a smile. "It seems you don't have any teachers, or rather, your teachers are of very low quality."

Luo Feng and the other two listened attentively.

It was their good fortune that a powerful domain lord could speak with them.

"Do you know why battles between life and death cause a rapid increase in strength, enlightenment, and evolution? Do you know the principle behind it?" The burly man looked at the four of them.

"When faced with a life-or-death crisis, every cell in the body will reflexively struggle, and even genetic material will accelerate its evolution! The terror of life and death allows the body and even the soul to reach a peak evolutionary state that is unattainable by humans. In this state, it is easier for people to comprehend, easier to evolve, and easier to improve their strength!"

"Between life and death lies immense terror! Between life and death lies boundless motivation! This is why countless powerful individuals venture forth and fight between life and death!"

Luo Feng and the others were deep in thought.

"The powerful I'm referring to are cosmic-level, domain lords, world lords, and even legendary immortals!" the burly man said solemnly. "Over 99% of them have joined the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance to embark on life-or-death adventures."

"And then there's the Giant Axe Arena, an incredibly cruel arena where every life-or-death battle guarantees one death! Yet, such an arena thrives... precisely because it's the fastest way to advance through life-or-death struggles! How many of the universe's strongest warriors haven't risen through the ranks of life-or-death battles?"

The saying "rising to the top through the secret passage" is true and applies to 99.9999% of people. Unfortunately, it doesn't apply to Luo Feng. He can become a realm master without even lying down. Even later, except for a very few times, he never faced any life-or-death crises because he has clones!

"Of course, some people evolve easily when facing life and death, while others face much greater difficulty in evolving when facing life and death." Ming Yu continued to speak eloquently, "Some races can become star-level beings, or even cosmic-level beings, or even domain lords when they reach adulthood."

"This is bloodline."

"Look, this is a form that divides human bloodlines into ten levels. Take a look and see which level your bloodline is roughly in. Perhaps I can help you avoid many detours on your path of evolution," Ming Yu said with a smile, pointing to the screen, where a form appeared in a flash.

First-class human bloodline: Can reach the level of a domain lord upon adulthood.

Second-tier human bloodline: Reaching cosmic level upon adulthood.

Third-tier human bloodline: Reaching the Eternal Star level upon adulthood, the proportion of those becoming cosmic-level is low.

Fourth-tier human bloodline: Reaching the Eternal Star level upon adulthood, the proportion of those becoming cosmic-level is extremely low.

Fifth tier of human bloodline: Adults can reach the Planetary level; the proportion of those who become Eternal level is: Medium.

Human bloodline level six: Adults can reach the planetary level; the proportion of those who become eternal level is low.

Human bloodline seventh rank: Adults can reach the apprentice level, and the proportion of those who become planetary-level beings is: Medium.

Human bloodline rank 8: Adults can reach the apprentice level; the proportion of those who become planetary-level beings is low.

The ninth rank of human bloodline: Adults are considered unranked, and the proportion of those who become apprentices is: Medium.

Human bloodline tenth rank: Adults are considered low-ranking, and the proportion of those who become apprentices is low.
