232: Lin Yuan

"Open the door."

jarvis opened the room door.

Outside the door, a young man wearing a waiter's uniform pushed a dining cart into the room.

Behind He Ming, the moment Zhuo Mengxuan saw the young man, her eyes widened instantly, her pupils almost shrinking into thin lines, and her body instinctively began to tremble!

Although Zhuo Mengxuan did not recognize the young man's appearance, she would never forget that aura, nor that gaze that looked at others as if they were mere cargo.

Long-sealed memories surfaced uncontrollably in her mind.

That night, her entire family was bathed in blood, and she was the only one who survived.

Since then, Zhuo Mengxuan had lived a life worse than death.

For hundreds of years, she had to endure inhuman torture every day...

"It's him, it's him!!"

Zhuo Mengxuan shrieked.

The waiter sneered, waved his hand, and thick Star Power instantly sealed the room.

"Let me introduce myself. You can call me Blood River. I am the one here to kill you."

He Ming's expression was calm as he looked at the person before him as if looking at a fool.

Shui Meng stood beside He Ming, her shoulders shaking unconsciously, and her lips trembling slightly.

"Hahahaha..."

Shui Meng covered her mouth and laughed out loud.

She waved her hand forward: "Sorry, I really couldn't help it."

Blood River raised an eyebrow slightly and sneered: "You really make me feel... excited..."

"I love turning fools into specimens and displaying them in my room. Whenever I see the skins of those fools, I..."

At this point, Blood River's body twitched uncontrollably, his complexion flushed, his chest heaved violently, and his mouth suddenly split open into a large gash.

"I feel extremely excited and satisfied."

Shui Meng shrugged her shoulders: "Boss, this guy is a pervert. What should we do?"

He Ming's mouth twitched slightly.

But unfortunately, Blood River was the best candidate for a disguise provided by the omniscient notebook.

"It will have to do."

Blood River's body shook, and he erupted with powerful Star Power, pressing down toward He Ming.

"It seems you haven't recognized the situation. Is Star Lord Level very impressive?"

The next second.

The powerful Star Power seemed to encounter a Wall of Sighs and rebounded with even greater intensity.

Ugh... Ah...!

Blood River was sent flying, crashing heavily against the Star Power barrier, like a highly elastic ball bouncing back to the ground.

He tried to get up, but suddenly felt as if a great mountain was pressing down on his back. His body could not move, and he couldn't even blink his eyelids.

He Ming stepped on Blood River's back and aimed his smart bracelet at the Spatial Artifact on Blood River's finger.

"Sir, decoding complete."

"Mhm."

He Ming removed the Spatial Artifact, performed a simple operation, and his eyes lit up slightly.

This was a 5-million-cubic-meter Spatial Artifact, containing nearly 30 million tons of seven-colored star marrow crystal and 20,000 tons of Iridescent Star Marrow Crystal.

There were over fifty Spatial Artifacts.

Iridescent Star Marrow Crystal is a top-tier cultivation resource that can only be condensed and refined by those at the Universe Venerable level.

Those qualified to obtain Iridescent Star Marrow Crystal must be at least at the Realm Lord Level.

Or be a direct disciple of a Cosmic Venerable.

In the entire Eastern Universe, the total number of direct disciples of the seven Cosmic Venerables does not exceed 20.

These individuals have the potential to challenge the Universe Venerable level in the future.

The purpose of the Star Tower Trial is to filter out such talented cultivators.

He Ming's mouth curled slightly, and he thought to himself: "Robbery is still the fastest way to make money. Just by taking out one Realm Lord Level, I've gained more than my accumulation over so many years."

"The wealth of a Realm Lord Level must be more than this. If I have the chance, I must visit Blood River's territory; there might be even bigger surprises."

His mental consciousness quickly communicated with the omniscient notebook.

【How many Milky Way Galaxies can Blood River's wealth support within a thousand years?】

【15】

After learning the answer, He Ming chuckled.

"It's enough for now."

"After a thousand years, I will have broken through to the Universe Venerable level. By then, money will just be a string of numbers to me."

Zhuo Mengxuan suddenly called out: "Wait!"

He Ming turned his head to look: "What, do you want to kill him?"

Zhuo Mengxuan knelt on the ground without hesitation.

"My lord, I beg you. As long as you let me kill this person, I am willing to do anything!"

He Ming shook his head slightly.

"Your value is nowhere near that of a Realm Lord Level."

Zhuo Mengxuan was stunned, her eyes appearing somewhat dazed.

Although these words were cold, they were an iron-clad fact.

A Stellar Level slave who had lost their freedom could not be compared to a Realm Lord Level in terms of value.

"However..."

"If you can collect enough points, I might grant your wish."

Zhuo Mengxuan's eyes lit up.

"I agree!"

A golden light flashed on He Ming's right hand, and the 【imperial seal of china】 appeared.

Four golden dragons of fortune darted out, wrapped around Blood River, and dragged him into the inner universe.

"He, where did he go!"

He Ming said calmly: "He went where he belongs."

"jarvis, send her to the Milky Way Galaxy."

"Understood, sir."

An Intelligent Robot walked out from the inner room and helped Zhuo Mengxuan up.

"Let's go."

Like a puppet, Zhuo Mengxuan was supported by the Intelligent Robot and walked out of the room.

"Boss, why do you want to take her back to the Milky Way Galaxy? Don't tell me you've actually taken a liking to her."

He Ming scoffed: "What are you thinking? She is still useful to me. Someday in the future, she might shine and be of use."

Shui Meng did not question He Ming's words.

To her, as long as it was something He Ming said, there was nothing that could not be achieved.

"Let's go. I'll take you to see the Starry Sky Giant Worm."

Eastern Universe, boundary line.

On one side was a world of brilliant starlight.

On the other side, the deep space had not a trace of light, boundless and endless.

Blood River Fortress, City Lord's Mansion.

The star gate flickered, and He Ming and Shui Meng stepped out.

"Let's go."

He Ming grabbed Shui Meng's shoulder, and with a flash, they arrived at the fortress ramparts.

Shui Meng's mouth opened unconsciously as she looked toward the boundless darkness on the other side.

"Boss, if those Starry Sky Giant Worms eat the entire universe, will they starve to death?"

He Ming was speechless upon hearing this.

He pointed in a direction and said: "Over there."

Shui Meng looked in the direction He Ming pointed, where a blue-white beam hundreds of kilometers wide was blasting into the boundless darkness.

That place is known to humanity as the Abyss.

Hum...

The light dispersed the darkness.

In the distance, hundreds of millions of flying insects were flying rapidly toward the fortress, but in the central area, there was a vacuum zone hundreds of kilometers wide.

There were over a hundred Starry Sky Giant Worms, as massive as planets.

They seemed to move slowly, but in reality, their maximum speed could reach 10 million kilometers per second.

Shui Meng's eyes sparkled, and she opened her mouth wide: "Wow, so many bugs!"

"Sir, the fortress has completed full containment."

He Ming nodded slightly, grabbed Shui Meng's shoulder, and with a flash, they teleported to the center of the insect swarm.

The imperial seal of china flew out from between his eyebrows, hovered above his head, and instantly expanded ten thousand times in size.

Hundreds of millions of golden dragons of fortune surged out, wrapping around the mountain-like insects and dragging them into the inner universe.

He Ming's gaze flickered, and he reached out and snapped his fingers.

The hundred or so Starry Sky Giant Worms were instantly dismembered by countless spatial blades, turning into chunks of flesh.

The imperial seal of china expanded ten thousand times again, fortune surged out, pulling the chunks of flesh back into the inner universe.

"Boss, I remember you seemed to say that the weakest of these Starry Sky Giant Worms is at the Realm Lord Level..."

"That's right."

Shui Meng couldn't help but shrink her neck.

"Then your strength..."

"Half-step Universe Venerable level."

Ah!

Shui Meng gasped in shock upon hearing this.

She realized that she had still underestimated He Ming.

The scene of seeing He Ming for the first time on the Moon battlefield in the Solar System surfaced in her mind.

At that time, he probably hadn't even reached the Stellar Level.

How long had it been since then?

Less than 500, and he reached the Half-step Universe Venerable level; no one would believe it if they were told.

He Ming sat cross-legged in the void, closing his eyes to calm his mind.

He would spend a long time here in the future, until he upgraded the 【imperial seal of china】 to the Immortal Level.
