Age of Calamity in Swallowed Star

Xuan Stone Territory, Dragon Gate Inn.

This is the most luxurious accommodation in the main city, covering a diameter of sixty kilometers, comparable to some small cities.

Inside, pavilions, terraces, and open halls, artificial mountains and ponds are endless, with flying birds and swimming fish complementing each other, like a paradise.

During its peak, the Dragon Gate Inn could accommodate nearly 1.5 million guests, with a constant stream of people coming and going every day.

The Xuan Stone Territory has a wide area and a large population flow, so business here is very good all year round.

At this moment.

The welcoming hall of the Dragon Gate Inn.

Nearly seven hundred beautiful receptionists in various uniforms stand gracefully, ready to welcome guests.

"A room!" Lin Ye said, looking at a petite girl in a purple uniform with her straight legs wrapped in black.

"???" The purple-clothed girl frowned slightly and asked in the Xuan Stone main city dialect, "What are you saying, esteemed guest!?"

"Accommodation, I want the best room." Seeing the strange look in the delicate girl's eyes, Lin Ye smiled awkwardly.

"There are prices for each level of room over there, please be aware, sir."

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

The prices of different levels of rooms were listed on it.

"Earth-level, Heaven-level, Cloud-level... Then give me a Cloud-level room!" Lin Ye replied casually.

"Cloud-level room 251, seven big coins per day." The girl's beautiful eyes kept sizing up Lin Ye, and she said with a smile.

"Can I use wild beast materials to offset the cost!?" Lin Ye looked at the girl and asked.

"Of course."

"This is a Cloud-Piercing Flame Lion's tooth, see how many days of Cloud-level accommodation it can get me."

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

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

Under the bright lights of the hall, the surface of the lion's tooth reflected a layer of lustrous light, attracting attention.

If it weren't for the conspicuous bloodstains, the purple-clothed girl would never have believed that she was holding a Cloud-Piercing Flame Lion's tooth.

"Appraise it, it's definitely fair and honest." Lin Ye said with a smile.

"No problem, I'll arrange it immediately." The girl's expression suddenly became serious, and she replied solemnly.

Then, the purple-uniformed girl contacted the back office and called in a master appraiser who specialized in appraising wild beasts of various levels.

"Take your time appraising it, don't rush!"

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

No one else.

The Cloud-Piercing wild beasts were extremely terrifying existences to other guests.

Any Cloud-Piercing wild beast could easily ravage hundreds or thousands of Sky-level warriors.

Soon, the appraisal of the Flame Lion's tooth was completed.

"Respected sir, this lion's tooth is indeed from a Cloud-Piercing Flame Lion."

After the appraisal, the old man held the lion's tooth in both hands and replied respectfully.

"Then how much are these lion's teeth worth!?" Lin Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, looking leisurely at the girl, and asked.

"Returning to your Excellency, Cloud-Piercing wild beast materials are no longer measured in large coins, but in purple blade coins (treasure coins)."

The girl's face was full of respect, and her expression when looking at Lin Ye was now filled with little stars.

The reason was simple.

The girl admired the strong, especially a strong person who could kill wild beasts like the one in front of her!

"Take it, don't bother with the change, serve me well with good food and drinks."

"As for the extra, consider it your reward."

Lin Ye waved his hand casually, speaking as if he were a nouveau riche with a lot of money.

"Oh! Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!" Hearing this, the purple-clothed waitress was immediately overjoyed.

"Sir, please come this way, I'll arrange the best food for you right away, follow me!!"

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

"Mm!"

Lin Ye nodded, then took a deep look at the woman and followed her upstairs.

After the two of them entered the private room 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 overjoyed.

"Nothing, just want to ask you some things!"

"Sir, whatever you want to ask, I will tell you everything truthfully." The woman said extremely respectfully.

"No need! I'll do it myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible mental force swept out from Lin Ye's sea of consciousness, directly penetrating the woman's soul.

This was a mysterious technique he had researched by combining the illusion technique performed by Galaxia and the illusion of Tongtian Bridge with the soul secret technique created by Venerable Fenchen

In an instant, information about the Xuan Stone Territory poured in like a tide.

In a few breaths, Lin Ye's understanding of the entire Xuan Stone Main City became clear.

"The Black Flame Family, the Dugu Family... These two families are among the best in Xuan Stone Main City, they probably have Blood Luo Crystals."

Lin Ye secretly calculated in his heart, and then released the purple-clothed woman with a thought.

"Little master, I think that woman was quite attractive just now, but you didn't take advantage of her entering the illusion to do xxoo, you've really changed your ways, huh?"

The teasing voice of Chan'er sounded in his mind, and Lin Ye immediately felt very speechless.

"! Stop! I'm not a desperate man!!"

Lin Ye's rebuttal was sonorous and powerful, maintaining his dignity.

After joking with Li Chan'er, Lin Ye carefully analyzed the various families and organizations in Xuan Stone Main City in his mind.

As a waiter in the Dragon Gate Inn, the woman came into contact with a large flow of people every day.

Over time, she became very familiar with the entire Xuan Stone Main City.

Families like the Black Flame Family and the Dugu Family were considered the top families.

They could be called hegemons!

Next.

There were the Nine Swords Gate, the Beast Taming Gate, the Puppet Gate... and other upper-class forces.

Even the Storm Mercenary Group, which had the Cloud-Piercing combat power of Blood Kill, could only be considered a mid-level force.

"An Domain Lord-level expert can only serve as a lord after being recognized by the Immortal Temple, which means they must fuse a Blood Luo Crystal."

"In that case, the Black Flame Family, the city lord's family, must have Blood Luo Crystals... Maybe even the Dugu Family has Blood Luo Crystals..."

Lin Ye murmured in his heart, quickly analyzing.

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

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

Lin Ye's eyes narrowed slightly, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes.

Now he was also at the peak of the Domain Lord realm, proficient in the five major origin laws of 'Fire, Water, Wind, Thunder, Space', and had countless secret techniques.

In terms of strength, he could basically crush a group of Domain Lord World Lord experts, and could even compete with ordinary Immortals.

This was Lin Ye's confidence!

Even without the Blood Flame Divine Weapon, the Thousand Star Potala Flower, and many high-level Origin Force weapons and battle armors, he was still very confident!

Although the Black Flame Family was the strongest family in the entire Xuan Stone Territory, with two Domain Lords, including the city lord, guarding it.

But what did this matter to Lin Ye, who could pass the tenth floor of the Tongtian Bridge.

"Let's eat, drink, and rest well first, and then go to the Black Flame Family tomorrow."

Looking at the increasingly dense night outside the window, Lin Ye seemed to smell the aroma of food.

For a time, he had expectations for the cuisine of this Blood Luo World.

...

The moon set and the crows cried.

The clear moonlight continuously sprinkled on the Blood Luo Continent, not much different from the night scene on Earth.

The earth fell into silence.

However, some disturbances occurred in a certain force in Xuan Stone Ridge.

Inside the conference hall, several elders of the Beast Taming Gate and the door master had differences of opinion on their attitude towards Lin Ye.

"No! The heritage and honor accumulated by our Beast Taming Gate for countless years must never allow us to bow our heads to others!"

A bald old man said indignantly, obviously resisting showing goodwill to Lin Ye.

"**! I think you've lived long enough!!"

Another middle-aged man holding a Zisha teapot retorted sarcastically, with a look of disdain: "Do you know how powerful that Domain Lord-level expert is!?"

"He just slapped my son off the wild beast with one slap, that's a Cloud-Piercing expert, and he was hit almost without reacting."

"If it were you, could you do what that mysterious figure did!?"

"You..." Hearing this, the old man was speechless.

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

The facts were right there.

"Why don't we report this matter to Lord Black Flame and Lord Dugu, saying that an Domain Lord-level expert of unknown origin is eyeing our Xuan Stone Ridge!"

Beside the round table, a man with white hair and pointed ears and cheeks spoke.

His voice was hoarse, sounding like two rusty iron plates rubbing together, very harsh.

"Reporting to the city lord, that's a good idea!"

The door master on the main seat made a final decision, and he looked at the Hua Fa old man who gave the suggestion and said, "Since you made the suggestion, then you will execute it."

Pointed ears and cheeks: "..."

As soon as these words came out, the Beast Taming Gate people around the round table looked at the old man, their faces full of mockery.

"Okay! I'll go if I go!!"

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

"Hum!!"

After a dissatisfied cold snort, the highest meeting of the Beast Taming Gate ended.

...

The appearance of Lin Ye naturally made some people worry and some people happy.

"Pass down the order, all members of the Storm Mercenary Group will go to the Dragon Gate Inn every day to pay their respects to Lord Ye, as for the reason... it's because he saved the lives of our entire group, and he is our benefactor."

Looking at the few remaining Sky-level brothers on the meeting seat, Blood Kill couldn't help but feel a pang of grief in his heart.

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

He firmly believed that with the power and deterrence of Lin Ye, he would definitely take the Storm Mercenary Group to the next level.

But there was one premise, he had to seize the opportunity of Lin Ye being here!!

"This meeting ends here, you guys disperse." The bearded man Blood Kill looked at the few remaining brothers, waved his hand gently, and said, "Let me think carefully about how to repay this Lord Ye."

While saying this, Blood Kill was thinking about the eligible women in the mercenary group...

...

The next morning.

Lin Ye was practicing as usual, releasing his mental power to connect to the cosmic space fluctuations, sensing the changes in the surrounding aura.

"Hmm!? Blood Kill is here!" Lin Ye's eyes opened slightly, revealing a sharp divine light.

As the leader of the Storm Mercenary Group in Xuan Stone Territory, even if he had just been promoted to Cloud-Piercing, he was admired by many people.

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

"Blood Kill, Cloud-level room 251!" Lin Ye directly transmitted his voice.

"Received!" Blood Kill said respectfully.

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

"Come in!"

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

In the hall of the room.

Lin Ye and Blood Kill sat facing each other, surrounding a square tea table.

"Lord Ye, if it weren't for your help yesterday, our Storm Mercenary Group would have been completely wiped out by the wild beasts!" As he spoke, Blood Kill's face showed excitement.

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

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

"Tell me about the information about the Ancient God Ruins."

Lin Ye looked at Blood Kill, wanting to understand the things about the Ancient God Ruins in detail.

Although he found some relevant information in the virtual universe company's database.

Ancient God Ruins: With a diameter of trillions of kilometers, it is the location of an ancient battlefield.

Even the virtual universe company recorded very little information about the Ancient God Ruins, as if deliberately hiding something.

But in order to achieve the effect of tempering core members, many key information were hidden, and Lin Ye could not view it with his current permissions.

In desperation.

He could only recall the plot of the Swallowed Star original work while asking the natives of the Blood Luo world about the situation.

"Ancient God Ruins!?"

Hearing this, Blood Kill's face trembled slightly, as if he had thought of some unpleasant memories.

But when his eyes looked at Lin Ye's slightly expectant eyes, his spirit suddenly became invigorated.

"Lord Ye, let me tell you ~" Suddenly, Blood Kill became mysterious.

"You know, every Cloud-Piercing in our Blood Luo world breaks through the eighteen layers of clouds and flies into the outer void, they will be killed by extraterrestrial races!"

"There is also a secret!"

"You say!"

"It is said that a long, long time ago, the Immortals of the Blood Luo world formed a coalition army and fought fiercely with the terrible powerhouses of extraterrestrial races,"

"Listening to some surviving seniors, that battle was extremely tragic, Domain Lord-level experts and World Realm experts died and injured countless, as for Cloud-Piercing... it was simply cannon fodder among cannon fodder!!"

"Even many Immortals fell into it, and that fallen god battlefield is called -"

"Ancient! God! Ruins!"

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

The natives of the Blood Luo world didn't know, but he understood very well.

The 'extraterrestrial race' of the virtual universe company, this behemoth, was not something that a small Blood Luo world could contend with.

Putting everything else aside, even if my own master, Venerable Fenchen, were to descend, he could easily sweep through the entire world. (End of chapter)
