Swallowing the Stars: The Rise of Emperor Wei

Chapter 133 Indigenous Genius

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

What does it mean to have a vast forest that stretches for tens of millions of kilometers? A typical star is only a million kilometers away.

In three years, the area that Gao Sheng and his companions traversed was only a small part of this forest.

In the White Stone Forest, mountains and rivers crisscross the landscape. At the foot of one of the mountains, a cleared meadow is where Gao Sheng and his companions are taking a temporary rest.

A simple table and four chairs, the four of them eating some food they brought themselves.

"Plants with crystal cores are all troublesome. This black bamboo we encountered today is really difficult to deal with," Gao Sheng sighed.

The four of them had just gone through a fierce battle, but they never expected that there would be cosmic-level plants in just a bamboo forest, and that as soon as they made a move, all the black bamboos swarmed forward.

That black bamboo, which was only a thousand meters tall, actually possessed the strength of a ninth-level cosmic-level being. Its branches were so tough that even Gao Sheng, using the second level of the Ashes Divine Weapon, the Heaven-Shattering Blade, had difficulty cutting them.

The entire bamboo forest, along with a large number of star-level black bamboo and two other cosmic-level black bamboo, also brought considerable trouble.

In the chaos, a bamboo branch struck Lanluo, immediately causing him to be seriously injured and cough up blood. Fortunately, three of the four had plant life forms protecting them. In the face of the crisis, Gao Sheng and Ji Qing immediately released their plant life forms, namely the seventh-order universe-level Snail Flower and the ninth-order universe-level Cloud Vine, which directly crushed the entire field and finally cleared out the entire bamboo forest.

As for the Snow Taro Vine of the Southern Silk Road, it is also a seventh-tier cosmic-level plant, but the Snow Taro Vine is a purely defensive plant life form with little offensive power.

"The Kukan natives have no interest in these plants. We don't even know what this black bamboo is called," Nan Si said, playing with a black crystal. "I didn't expect that such a small plant would have a crystal core. With the three we have today, we now have twelve."

"The more types you recognize, the faster you'll find your target." Gao Sheng said as he took out a large pile of smaller black crystal cores that he had just collected from his spatial ring.

Instantly, a blood-red flower appeared, opened its mouth wide, and swallowed the entire star-level crystal core.

In this type of plant with a crystalline core, all life energy is concentrated inside the core, while the branches and leaves are of little value.

Then the four of them worked together to dig a hole in the forest, with only a small entrance.

"I'm on alert today. Those of you who need to rest, go ahead and use the virtual universe if you want," Gao Sheng said.

He elevated himself, also diverting most of his consciousness into the virtual universe, leaving only a small portion to guard the surroundings.

Six hours later, Xiao Ai alerted the detector to unusual activity more than 2,000 kilometers away.

In the detection footage, a humanoid powerhouse is chasing a gigantic monster.

"Is this the Wind Bear the natives spoke of? A demonic beast with a demon core?" Gao Sheng looked at the detection screen. "Then those behind them shouldn't be humans, but natives. They're too far away; we can't detect their strength yet."

"Judging by the speed, they should all be at the cosmic level."

The two figures moved like lightning, tracing winding arcs. It was clear that Feng Xiong was trying to shake off the enemy by constantly changing direction. Before long, they were less than fifty kilometers away from Gao Sheng. Then, they changed direction again and headed straight for Gao Sheng.

"Oh no, everyone come out!" Gao Sheng shouted, simultaneously giving the command to the conch shell.

There was too much "food" this time, and the snail flower hadn't finished digesting it yet. However, it still spat out the undigested crystal core and shrank back to Gao Sheng's body.

Although Ji Qing and the other two were in the virtual universe, they still had a trace of consciousness outside. Soon, all three of them regained their consciousness.

How fast is a full-speed sprint at the cosmic level? Even on this continent of Kukan, it can reach speeds of hundreds of kilometers per second, and in the blink of an eye, it is already within reach.

With a thunderous roar, a giant white bear, standing thirty meters tall, charged straight toward the lawn where Gao Sheng was. Less than twenty kilometers behind, a Kukan indigenous man wielding a long spear was in hot pursuit.

"Hmm?" Just as the giant bear charged out of the jungle, Gao Sheng threw out a fiery red throwing knife.

With a soft hiss, a streak of light flashed, and the giant bear's body split in two, still flying a thousand meters away due to inertia.

As the two approached, Xiao Ai had already discerned that although the giant bear was large, it was only at the eighth level of the cosmic realm and was already injured.

At this moment, a powerful Kukan warrior, wielding a long spear and clad in green armor, surrounded by lightning, also rushed out of the jungle. He glanced at the four people and instantly arrived at the giant bear's corpse. He waved his hand to collect a small golden ball, then turned back to look at Gao Sheng and the other three.

"Trial participants?" the green-armored Kukan tribesman asked, then looked at the auxiliary quantum computer on his arm.

"That's right." Gao Sheng moved and stood in front of Nan Si and Lan Luo.

"Hahaha... Looks like today is my lucky day, Kato!" The Kukan tribe expert laughed heartily, raising his spear, countless electric snakes coiling around its shaft. "Hand over all your spatial rings, and if you satisfy me, I might consider letting you leave the Kukan Continent alive!"

"Is that so? It's a pity, it won't satisfy you." Gao Sheng glanced at Ji Qing and the other two, and secretly transmitted his voice: "Don't worry, let me try."

Ji Qing nodded slightly, stepped forward, and stood in front of Nan Si, taking Gao Sheng's place.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh... Countless blades flew up from the lifting arm, and in an instant, six solid throwing knives hovered in front of him.

"Either you make a move, or you get lost!" Gao Sheng said coldly, looking at the 'Kato'.

"Arrogant!" Kukan tribe's 'Kato' shook his head as he looked at Gao Sheng, as if he had seen something unbelievable. "A mere fifth-order cosmic level being dares to resist."

Boom! A ball of lightning, hundreds of meters in diameter, appeared around Nakato's body. With a stomp of his feet, the ground shattered, and he and his spear shot upwards like a lightning dragon.

Although he spoke casually, whether it was the wind bear he killed in one move before his rise to power or the power displayed by the six heavenly blades, Kato felt that he could not underestimate the human race. As soon as he made a move, he used all his strength!

The spear moved like lightning, with wisps of lightning coiling around its body, like a thunder dragon coiling around.

With a single shot, Ji Qing, Nan Si, and Lan Luo, who were retreating, all paled.

"Be careful!"

"This lightning domain is definitely at the ninth level, and it has already crossed the threshold of the lightning law." Gao Sheng judged instantly.

This is definitely a formidable opponent. He is at the ninth level of the cosmic realm, at the ninth level of the domain, and has stepped into the threshold of the lightning law. Moreover, judging from the power of that spear, it is at least a third-level primal force weapon. This native Kato is many times stronger than the lava life form we encountered on that nameless planet.

We must use the strongest means possible!

Gao Sheng retreated on the fire disc, leaving eight afterimages behind. At the same time, whoosh! The flying knives dissipated, and countless black short needles flew up. In the blink of an eye, eight fire pythons appeared, hovering around Gao Sheng. Countless strands of psychic energy connected to form a blue cube with sides of more than 200 meters. Inside this six-sided cube was Gao Sheng's regeneration domain!

The four fundamental attributes of fire are burning, eruption, destruction, and regeneration. Not long after arriving on the Kukan Continent, Gao Sheng finally comprehended the last of these fire domains.

In terms of domain comprehension, only one final step remains for advancement: the perfect unification of the nine domains! This is also one of the prerequisites for a domain lord to break through to the realm lord level. Some peak domain lords have already gained a deep understanding of the laws, but they are stuck on this aspect.

At this moment, the lightning spear shot over, and Gao Sheng's figure suddenly solidified. Six of the eight fire pythons that were floating around his body instantly merged into one, transforming into a giant blue python that directly crashed into the lightning dragon.

Boom! The collision shattered the lawn below, and the shockwave spread out instantly, causing all the trees thousands of meters away to fall over.

"Amazing!" Gao Sheng felt the blue python trembling.

"Transform!" The Ascension Domain turned white, and the Fire Python also turned white. The power of the Regeneration Domain was inexhaustible and instantly stabilized again.

The giant python then spun around and turned blue again, coiling towards its opponent once more.
