Chapter 1625 Devouring
Yue Wuwei asked, “What is the outer ring, the inner ring, and the Nine Mountains Region?”
He wanted to know more about the Star Sea.
He wouldn’t know much if he only knew the name.
Zhang Han knew this place well.
He said straightforwardly, “The outer ring is the outer area, and the inner ring is the inner area of the Star Sea. The internal area is relatively small compared with the outer ring. The Nine Mountains Region is the name of the Nine Star Areas. The Nine Star Areas look like nine mountains. Each of those Star Areas is larger than the Silver Dragon Galaxy. In fact, it is very large. Star Sea is in the Ninth Mountain Star Area, which is our destination. However, we are not in a hurry to go there. We need to train and improve our strength first.”
“So that’s how it is.”
Yue Wuwei looked enlightened and said, “Why do I suddenly feel that the Star Sea is much smaller?”
“The Star Sea can be big or small because, in our Cultivation World, there is only one Star Sea. There are many Galaxies, and there are countless ones like the Center Galaxy. But there is only one Star Sea, so our Cultivation World is not big. This is also the reason why many Tribulation Stage Ninth Tier cultivators want to go through the final Heavenly Tribulation and ascend to the higher world.”
“What’s outside the Cultivation World then?” Chen Chuan asked curiously.
“No one knows what’s outside the Cultivation World. The Human Clan has not gone very deep into it. In the Barren Star Areas, there are many… Let me put it this way. The further out one goes, the more Deadlands there are, the more turbulence in the universe, and the greater the danger one will face. Moreover, there will be more ancient demonic beasts there.”
Zhang Han said softly, “This is the whole Cultivation World. In fact, many Dao Seeking Cultivators can’t cover all the areas in it in their lifetimes. But from the general aspect, we know how big it is. The universe is boundless, but the territory of the Human Clan is limited. In the past, even I thought that one can reach the world of immortals by making it to the Heaven Road, ascending to the world of immortals, and breaking the rules of the world. However, Sir’s mind told me that it is the higher world, which is the real vaster world. This is too profound.”
“The real world.”
Yue Wuwei frowned and said, “Does it make our world just a dream?”
“That’s not what we can pay attention to now.” Zhang Han couldn’t help laughing. “It’s not too late to think about it when we reach the Tribulation Stage Ninth Tier.”
“Hahaha, that’s right.” Yue Wuwei laughed and said, “Let’s go!”
After the king vessel appeared, Mengmeng and the others walked into it.
Zhang Han said, “Without a Star Map, we can fly forward directly. More than 70% of the planets in the outer ring are Barren Stars. Let’s stop at any planet we pa.s.s by and see if there is any precious metal.”
The intelligent system of the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p said, “The order is received. Entering the secondary s.p.a.ce in three seconds.”
Mengmeng was curious at once. “Why are we looking for rare metals?”
“It’s for the Golden-armored Giant Beast.” Zhang Han was still a little unaccustomed to the existence of the Golden-armored Giant Beast. “This thing has to eat metal. It has just been born. It’s too hungry.”
“Hahaha, that little thing can even eat metal,” Mengmeng said with a smile.
She found it funny.
Zi Yan and Lisa couldn’t help laughing.
This made Zhang Han a bit bewildered. He didn’t know why they were laughing.
“What’s so strange about the Golden-armored Giant Beast?”
It was half a meter tall, pet.i.te, and lovely, especially when it was a newborn.
The women present all liked it very much.
“Take it out. We want to see it.”
Zi Yan winked at Zhang Han.
“What’s there to see?” Zhang Han said grumpily.
“Come on.” Mengmeng also said, “It’s so funny.”
“My host, I want to see it too.” Dahei blinked and echoed.
“It’s not a treasure. Just let us see it,” Yue Wuwei said. “It also needs to come out and fight in the future.”
“Alas!”
Zhang Han was mentally exhausted.
After he ran his power a bit, golden light flowed out of his right hand.
Plop!
A cute thing sat down on the ground.
After Zhang Han injected his mind into the Golden-armored Giant Beast, its big eyes became bright, and its mouth moved.
“Awoooooooo.”
It didn’t speak in human language.
“It’s so cute.”
Mengmeng squatted down and rubbed the head, belly, and arms of the Golden-armored Giant Beast.
“It’s so hard. Its skin is covered with scales.” Mengmeng grinned and said, “It’s not as soft as Tiny Tot.”
As for Zi Yan, she squatted down and kept looking at the beast with her beautiful big eyes. She checked its front legs, back legs, and finally the middle of the back legs.
“Good. It’s private part is not revealed.”
Although this Golden-armored Giant Beast was cute, it was also a duplication of Zhang Han. Zi Yan certainly did not like it to have its private part revealed.
She took a look and found that there was nothing wrong with the beast, which was covered in scales.
“How can this thing get a partner?”
All of a sudden, Zi Yan was a little confused.
She shook her head and stopped thinking about it. Soon, she was also intoxicated by the cute appearance of the small Golden-armored Giant Beast.
“Can it do somersaults?” Mengmeng muttered, “Dad. Dad?”
She looked up at Zhang Han.
“Wait a minute,” Zhang Han said.
“Awooo!”
The Golden-armored Giant Beast moved its arms and legs and clumsily turned around.
“Ahah.”
“Hahaha…”
All the people present began to laugh.
“Its meat looks delicious. Host, shall we eat it?” Dahei ran over and hugged Zhang Han’s leg.
“Eat it? It’s my duplication.” Zhang Han raised his hand and flicked Dahei’s forehead.
“It hurts.” Dahei touched its forehead, sat down on the ground, looked at the beast, and laughed.
“What realm is this thing in?” Yue Wuwei asked with a smile, “I should get something like this in the future.”
However, what Zhang Han said brought him back to reality.
“The fourth tier of the Tribulation Stage.”
“What the…” Yue Wuwei was stunned. “It’s a newborn, and it is already at the fourth tier??”
He was dumbfounded.
“Yes, it’s a newborn fourth-tier beast, so its cultivation speed won’t be slow,” Zhang Han said. “All right, all right. The Golden-armored Giant Beast has just broken out of its sh.e.l.l, so it can’t exercise for too long.”
“Put it away then.”
Mengmeng and the others were done with seeing it.
Zhang Han put the Golden-armored Giant Beast away.
“I have to find some metal to feed it as soon as possible.”
Zhang Han said, “It’s getting more and more hungry.”
The system said, “Beep! The s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p has arrived on the planet and is about to leave the secondary s.p.a.ce.”
Swoos.h.!.+
The s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p flew straight to the surface of the planet.
This was a Barren Star, a planet with many lands and lakes all over. The plants here were normal, the spiritual Qi was thin, and there were no living animals here.
“Detect the place and search for metal,” Yue Wuwei ordered the intelligent system.
“No need for that. I can feel it myself.”
The Golden-armored Giant Beast leaped out of the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p and floated in the air. Its eyes were fixed on the ground, and there was a faint fluorescent light on its golden horn.
Zhang Han said, “There are some ordinary metals.
“Wait a moment.”
Swoos.h.!.+
The Golden-armored Giant Beast turned into a streak of golden light. No one knew if it was drilling into the ground or smas.h.i.+ng it with its body. With a plop, it exploded like a bomb, which caused some earth to fly upward.
A deep pit appeared.
The Golden-armored Giant Beast was lying at the bottom of the pit.
It opened its mouth.
Buzz!
Countless pieces of metal rose from the underground one after another.
The mouth of the Golden-armored Giant Beast seemed to have turned into a bottomless pit, swallowing the metal pieces.
After staying for more than ten seconds, the Golden-armored Giant Beast flew back.
“There are too few metals here. Let’s go to another planet.”
Zhang Han said, “It feels very hungry. It hasn’t had enough.”
After flying for five hours, the crowd arrived on another planet.
“Eh? Spirit Treasure-level metal. Not bad.”
The Golden-armored Giant Beast smashed into the ground again.
“Spirit Treasure-level metals? They are very rare,” Yue Wuwei said subconsciously. “Oh, that’s right. This is the Star Sea. It’s not strange that there would be Spirit Treasure-level metals here.”
“Right. It’s not strange. There are many palaces and other buildings, all of which are made of rare metal. Unfortunately, the most powerful metal is only the ninth-tier Spirit Treasure-level kind. I’ve never seen one at the Profound-grade level,” Zhang Han said.
“What level is the metal below?” Yue Wuwei asked.
“It’s at the third tier, but there’s a lot of it.” Zhang Han smiled and said, “This time, the Golden-armored Giant Beast should be half-full.”
Zhang Han knew the situation of the Golden-armored Giant Beast like the back of his hand. After all, it was his body.
Due to its small mouth, the Golden-armored Giant Beast ate the metal here for an entire hour.
“If it wants to cultivate fast, it must learn the devouring supernatural power and perform the Giant Mouth Image with its mouth. It needs to perform the Shadow Displacement Transposition and swallow the food into the Alternate s.p.a.ce in its belly.
“Oh, that’s right. I have the Immortal Body.”
Zhang Han almost forgot about this. He sensed that the Immortal Body was placed in a corner in the Alternate s.p.a.ce, surrounded by a vast white mist. The falling metal could not smash it, so it was fine.
After the Golden-armored Giant Beast ate the metal on this planet, the crowd set off for the journey again.
At the same time, the Golden-armored Giant Beast also began to comprehend the devouring supernatural power, the Giant Mouth Image.
The Golden-armored Giant Beast had a lot of innate supernatural powers and martial arts heritages, but after all, its soul had been changed, so it still lacked something.
Even so, there were still hundreds of kinds of supernatural powers to be cultivated. Zhang Han selected them and directly chose those that were beneficial to his cultivation.
The defense of the Golden-armored Giant Beast was extremely powerful. It couldn’t be killed easily. Together with Zhang Han’s other duplications, it would be difficult for him to die.
“We need to improve our strength as soon as possible.”
Zhang Han and his group began to raid the metals on each planet.
This was an opportunity for cultivation. The Golden-armored Giant Beast had just started devouring, so it had a lot of room for growth. When it finished devouring, it could rest for some time.
“This thing digests its food too fast. Even the third-tier metal can’t satisfy its needs.”
Zhang Han felt quite troubled.
Perhaps the Golden-armored Giant Beast would cost most of his belongings.
“Look at Tiny Tot, Dahei, and Little Hei. Can’t you learn from them?” Zhang Han commented helplessly.
The others couldn’t help laughing. “Aren’t you complaining about yourself?”
The cultivation of the Golden-armored Giant Beast had begun. What surprised Zhang Han was that as the Alternate s.p.a.ce in his body was half-full, there was a faint golden light. The golden light would accelerate the absorption of the Golden-armored Giant Beast.
In just ten days, the Golden-armored Giant Beast was already three meters tall.
This was just the beginning.
The strange thing was that the faint golden light in the Alternate s.p.a.ce was often absorbed by the Extreme Purity Immortal Body.
It seemed that it could also speed up Zhang Han’s cultivation.
Zhang Han was looking forward to the development of the Extreme Purity Immortal Body.
After all, after so many years of cultivation, what kind of experience would it be to have an Immortal Body now?
On the other side.
In the Alternate s.p.a.ce of the Golden-winged Roc, Immortal Master Lingxi taught everyone to cultivate.
“We’ve arrived at the Astral Domain of Engravement. Eh? There happens to be a secret realm. Let’s go there. Show me your combat capability.”
After leaving the Alternate s.p.a.ce, the Golden-winged Roc turned into a red wristband and circled around the wrist of Immortal Master Lingxi.
“Let’s go and check it out.”
Immortal Master Lingxi cast a spell and led the team forward at an extremely fast speed. She directly tore open an entrance in the secret realm.
They entered it.
“I still have some spirit treasures. Don’t go after the treasures here. Just fight with someone.”
Like a gang boss, Immortal Master Lingxi led the team forward and saw a battlefield. It was a battlefield of two sects, each with thousands of people, and the most powerful one was at the Tribulation Stage First Tier.
“Which one of you will go first? Zhang Hanyang’s grandpa, you go first.”
Immortal Master Lingxi commanded. “Don’t worry, I’ll be watching from here. You won’t get hurt.”
With a calm face, Zhang Mu nodded, cupped his hands, and flew down.
Although his aura was steady, in fact, he felt a little dizzy.
“Who should be my opponent?”
He glanced around and finally fixed his eyes on a man at the Middle Stage of the Mastery Realm who was sneaking around the periphery and trying to launch a sneak attack.
Zhang Mu shouted, “What are you doing?!”
“AHH!”
The man was taken aback.
He looked up at the person in the air behind him and got angry.
