Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Optimizing the Five Hearts Towards the Sky

Chapter 68 First Trial in the Killing Field

When Chen Yuan left Qin Zhan's house, night had already fallen.

He had no intention of going home to rest. Instead, he flew straight into his fighter jet, set the training camp as his destination, and then the jet took off and quickly left Nanjing.

Inside the cabin, Chen Yuan opened the briefcase again. The briefcase was already half empty—the dragon blood and jade marrow he had just given to Qin Zhan and his daughter came from this.

Chen Yuan had always planned to sort out his relationships before leaving Earth. Qin Zhan had taken care of the original owner for many years, and even though Chen Yuan did not inherit the original owner's emotions, he still acknowledged Qin Zhan's kindness.

Therefore, Chen Yuan specifically requested some resources for apprentices from Hong, indicating that he could purchase them with his martial arts school's contribution points. However, Hong didn't care about these resources. After understanding his intentions, he simply waved his hand and waived all the fees.

"Finally, I'm debt-free and feel so relieved." Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, his fingers tracing the remaining resources in the box.

Chen Yuan has always been a man of clear-cut gratitude and resentment, which is why he wanted to settle all karmic debts as much as possible before leaving Earth.

Although the world of Swallowed Star doesn't believe in cause and effect, Chen Yuan still did it, simply because it would make him feel better.

Therefore, he helped Luo Hai comprehend the essence of the art, enabling him to successfully break through his limitations, and created a special secret technique for Wei Wen to help him master the exertion of power.

Finally, resources were bestowed upon Qin Zhan's family, significantly enhancing the strength of Qin Zhan and his daughter, and increasing their chances of reaching the planetary level.

These three people are all people Chen Yuan feels he owes a debt to. Only after repaying their karmic debts can Chen Yuan leave Earth in peace.

After checking the contents of the safe, it turned out that everything was exactly as Hong Yunnuo had promised: one kilogram of Azure Marrow, 20 Wood Crystals, and a Force Longsword as a reward from the martial arts school.

Chen Yuan took out a drop of Azure Wave Marrow and swallowed it, then swallowed a Wood Sprout Crystal. As the medicinal power dissipated, he immediately entered a meditative state—at his current level, cultivation no longer required deliberate tempering of the physical body.

Chen Yuan allowed his body to digest the life force of Mu Yajing, and with a thought, he entered the virtual universe.

The next second, Chen Yuan appeared on Black Dragon Mountain Island.

"Wind Spirit, check my account information," Chen Yuan instructed.

"Yes, Master." As soon as the wind spirit finished speaking, a screen of light unfolded in front of Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan: Gene Warrior (Planetary Level 1)

Remaining currency: 304 million (Black Dragon Coins)

"It arrived in my account as expected." Chen Yuan's eyes lit up when he saw the currency balance. "Wind Spirit, teleport to: Killing Field!"

After paying 1000 Black Dragon Coins, the scene before my eyes suddenly changed.

"Is this the killing field?"

Chen Yuan looked around and found that the hall was ridiculously large, almost comparable to a city.

The killing arena hall was shrouded in a blood-red background, as if a sea of ​​blood had risen to the sky, with a huge drop of blood standing out conspicuously in the center.

Chen Yuan entered the killing arena and completed the "account binding" function at a reception counter. After binding his account, the killing arena would automatically deduct fees based on his training time, which was quite convenient.

With Chen Yuan's current strength at the first level of the planetary realm, the fee is 2000 Black Dragon Coins per day. However, this does not mean that the fee will be deducted directly for each training session. Instead, it will be deducted proportionally based on the actual length of time he stays in the Killing Space.

"That's quite humane."

After completing the binding process, Chen Yuan walked deeper into the hall.

Upon reaching the end, Chen Yuan saw a series of corridors. Entering any one of them would lead directly into a private killing space.

There weren't many people in the hall, but there were a few. Chen Yuan suddenly noticed an elderly man with green skin sitting in the lounge area not far away. He squinted his eyes and looked relaxed.

However, no one dared to approach the old man. Even if someone accidentally got too close, they would quickly leave.

"An old man with green skin, and everyone in the hall is afraid to approach him?"

Chen Yuan felt that the description was somewhat familiar, and couldn't help but take another look.

Perhaps sensing Chen Yuan's scrutinizing gaze, the green-skinned old man suddenly opened his eyes and looked in Chen Yuan's direction.

Chen Yuan was startled, but seeing that the other party made no other move, he bowed and said, "My lord, I had no intention of offending you."

The green-skinned old man wasn't angry at all; instead, he grinned and said, "It's alright, little guy, go and cultivate."

This action silenced the crowd in the hall, their expressions filled with shock, as if they hadn't expected Lady Manlu to be so kind today.

As Chen Yuan's figure disappeared into the depths of the corridor, the green-skinned 'Manluo' suddenly changed her expression and scolded the crowd of onlookers, "What are you still standing here for? Either go cultivate or get out of here."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding crowd scattered like birds and beasts. Manluo squinted her eyes again, but her mind was still on the little guy she had just seen.

"A planetary-level being possesses a wind domain? And I seem to sense a trace of law..." Manlo pondered. "Using an anonymous account, is this a genius from some native planet?"

"Observe them further. If they perform well, we can try to recruit them."

After the thought flashed through her mind, Manluo returned to her previous leisurely demeanor.

Deep inside the corridor, Chen Yuan was still shaken.

"We almost got into big trouble."

Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: "His appearance and temperament are similar to the description in the original work, plus the respect that people in the hall have for that person... This green-skinned old man is most likely Manluo."

Chen Yuan couldn't help but be afraid, because according to the original text, the other party was a true immortal god!

A planetary being dares to look at an immortal god with his eyes—how can you call that suicidal behavior, even across a virtual universe?

"Fortunately, the other party didn't hold it against me, otherwise I would have died before even starting my mission."

Chen Yuan couldn't help but shake his head. Unbeknownst to him, he had already arrived at the depths of the corridor.

The scene before him suddenly changed. In the boundless starry sky, he stood alone on a meteorite, a metal book appearing in his hand.

Chen Yuan quickly flipped through it and found that it contained instructions on how to use the killing field.

Thanks to the genetic leap brought about by the planetary level, Chen Yuan's memory has become much stronger. Combined with his extremely high brain capacity, this has enabled him to fully master the universal language in his spare time.

"So that's how the killing field works." Chen Yuan nodded after flipping through the book.

"Battle environment: grassland. Opponent: Planetary-level Tier 1 martial artist, Wind Domain Level 2, Law Comprehension 0.2%."

Chen Yuan quickly set the parameters and submitted them. The surrounding scene immediately transformed into an endless grassland.

"They say the killing field is the best teacher for martial artists, so let me see for myself."

A gentle breeze rippled through the grass as Chen Yuan, clad in black battle armor, stood motionless. In the distance, a white-clad warrior descended from the sky, his longsword gleaming coldly.

"They're here."

Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he chose to take the initiative, leaping into the air and rushing towards the white-clad warrior at an extremely fast speed.

At the same time, a light blue field unfolded, covering the two of them.

At the same time, the white-robed warrior also unleashed his domain, and his second domain instantly covered Chen Yuan's domain.

"Hmm, it's a bit oppressive, but still bearable. It seems my domain has neutralized the power of the opponent's domain."

Chen Yuan was somewhat surprised; his movements remained agile, and he wasn't significantly restricted.

At least, it's much less oppressive than the pressure faced by those without a domain when confronted with one!

"It seems that being one level ahead in the Domain doesn't guarantee limitless power, so the gap between Domain experts still depends on other methods."

The thought flashed through his mind, and in the blink of an eye, Chen Yuan unleashed his strongest killing move.

"Gale-force winds sweep across the mountains!"

As Chen Yuan's Thousand Winds Secret Manual reached its peak, it not only increased his basic power by 20 times, but also allowed his Mountain-Shattering Secret Technique, one of its branches, to enter the third level!

In other words, Chen Yuan's base power limit has now reached 28 times! Combined with the 6 times amplification from the law, Chen Yuan's sword strike unleashed a full 168 times the power!

Seeing Chen Yuan unleash his secret technique, the white-robed warrior also activated his secret technique, and with the support of his domain and laws, he slashed his longsword at Chen Yuan.

"boom--"

The moment the two swords clashed, a violent energy storm swept across the entire grassland.

Once the storm had passed and the waves had calmed, only Chen Yuan stood there with his sword in hand, while the figure of the white-clad warrior had vanished into specks of light.

One fatal blow!
