Chapter 360 The Aura of a Supreme Treasure!
As the crown prince of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, it would be quite troublesome for the Supreme Spirit King to want to join Zhou Ze. However, the Venerable One is a great being second only to the Lord of the Universe, and given Zhou Ze's current status and position, as long as he is willing, no one would dare to stop him.
However, many immortal kings and even venerables expressed disdain for the Extreme Spirit King's self-degrading behavior, since the strong ultimately rely on themselves, which is a universally acknowledged truth in the universe.
In the universe, only those who have fallen into depravity or provoked powerful enemies would choose to submit to a Venerable One.
Of course, some of the "morally flexible" immortal kings were quite interested in the behavior of the Supreme Spirit King and inquired about how they could become disciples of Zhou Zemo.
However, all of this was no longer relevant to Zhou Ze. He found a suitable Chaos Stele to begin his seclusion and study the laws of time, while simultaneously creating a secondary consciousness window to search for the treasure that the Extreme Spirit King had told him about.
Come to think of it, he's never actually gone treasure hunting before.
...
In a dark part of the universe within the Dream Universe Kingdom, a figure was constantly teleporting, making dozens or even hundreds of teleportations in each instant. Each teleportation covered a range of tens of light-years, which corresponds to a distance of 1008.1 times that of the original universe.
Guided by the star map in his mind, Zhou Ze rapidly approached his target. Compared to traveling by spaceship, the speed of teleportation was undoubtedly many times faster.
Even the fastest spaceship cannot compare to Zhou Ze's speed of travel, which is capable of teleportation.
"We've arrived. According to the star map, we're right here!"
Zhou Ze's figure disappeared into the dark universe space and appeared directly in the primordial universe. In the dark vortex in front of him was the "An Chao Secret Realm"!
A cosmic secret realm can range in size from tens of thousands of light-years in diameter to millions or even hundreds of millions of light-years in diameter. However, the largest Anchao Secret Realm is only about 100,000 light-years in diameter, classifying it as a small secret realm.
The overall danger level of the secret realm is average; even immortal gods can enter and explore. Apart from three extremely dangerous areas, the danger level of the other areas is relatively low, posing only a slight threat to ordinary immortals.
The three most dangerous areas, especially the most dangerous "Soulfall Star," are so dangerous that even a weak Venerable would find it difficult to force his way in.
Zhou Ze is heading to "Soulfall Star" this time. According to the information provided by the Extreme Spirit King, he once ventured here and accidentally sensed the aura of a great treasure, but he was not strong enough to go deep into it.
In the void at the outermost edge of the Soulfall Star Zone in the Anchao Secret Realm, a figure appeared.
"Soulfall Star, we've arrived."
Zhou Ze stood in the void, gazing at the celestial body shrouded in a purplish-black mist. At first glance, he felt a peculiar force squeezing into his mind.
"He's got something."
Zhou Ze flew straight in.
The entire Soulfall Star has a maximum diameter of 10 light-years, and only in the secret realms of the universe could such a large celestial body be born.
Zhou Ze was flying at near-light speed when he suddenly stopped, looking at a cloud of purplish-black mist ahead, his eyes showing a slight hint of curiosity:
"Is this the Soul-Slaying Bee Swarm?"
The Soulfall Star got its name from these amazing life forms. These Soulfall Bees are immune to all material attacks and can directly devour the souls and mental power of cultivators. Once entangled, even a King-level Immortal can hardly escape unscathed.
The most infuriating thing about the Soulfall Bee Swarm is that physical attacks are useless against them, while soul attacks can significantly reduce your psychic attack power by absorbing your psychic energy. However, the only way to kill them is through soul attacks.
So unless you're an exceptionally powerful individual, if they get stuck to you, you can only pray you can run fast.
"Buzzing~"
Zhou Ze's act of stopping to observe was undoubtedly a provocation to the Soulfall Bee swarm, or rather, any foreign life in their territory was a target for their attack.
Zhou Ze tried to unleash a beam of energy, but found that the Soul-Destroying Bees didn't dodge at all, because they weren't afraid, so it had no effect whatsoever.
He then attempted a soul attack and discovered that a portion of his ethereal divine power had been completely devoured!
For immortal gods, as long as their consciousness doesn't tire, they are essentially perpetual motion machines. The divine power they unleash can be automatically recovered. However, being devoured by the Soul-Destroying Bee Swarm is equivalent to permanently losing a portion of their divine power, which is truly terrifying.
The only drawback of the Soulfall Bee Swarm might be its slow speed, but these guys also have their own trump card.
"Buzz buzz buzz~"
Each individual member of the Soulfall Bee swarm was controlled by an inexplicable force, emitting a purple glow. The swarm seemed to have transformed into a luminous colony, but upon closer inspection, it was composed of countless Soulfall Bees, each smaller than an ant.
Billions of Soul-Destroying Bees simultaneously unleashed an invisible psychic force from their tails, attacking Zhou Ze's divine body and concentrating it at a single point, eroding Zhou Ze's soul.
"The surroundings have sped up? No, it's me who's slowed down—"
Zhou Ze's divine body was rapidly and permanently damaged. "What a bizarre attack, what bizarre venom—"
Zhou Ze was amazed. The psychic power of the Soul-Destroying Bees could actually combine to attack, and it could even cause this effect of slowing down the flow of time.
The universe is truly vast and full of wonders.
"boom!"
The loss of his divine body was essentially a loss of his primordial power for Zhou Ze. Naturally, he would not sit idly by and wait for his death. He immediately launched a mental attack, striking the will of the insect swarm.
slam-la-
Soulfall Peak only possesses a sliver of instinct, lacking any intelligence, and its will is incredibly weak. Zhou Ze's mental attack directly struck the bee swarm's fragile will, shattering it and causing their souls to disintegrate.
The remaining surviving bees seemed to have encountered a natural enemy and instinctively tried to escape, but Zhou Ze did not give them the chance. After another weak shock of will, there were no more flying Soulfall Peaks in sight.
"These little things are quite interesting—"
Zhou Ze smiled as he collected the unconscious Soulfall Bees. He then found the Soulfall Bees' nest, stunned the fleeing queen bee with a single mental shock, and collected the entire nest before continuing deeper into the territory.
The further down he went, the more Zhou Ze felt that his speed was getting slower and slower, and the number and quality of the Soul Fall bees around him were increasing.
"No wonder, even Venerable Ones cannot go deeper. If this continues, if a Venerable One tries to force his way in, he will surely perish—"
Zhou Ze looked around and released his ethereal divine power to search for targets. An ordinary person would definitely not dare to do this, but as long as Zhou Ze found the swarm of bees in his consciousness, he would directly launch a slight impact of his will, which was very easy.
"Hmm, I sensed it, it's down below!"
Zhou Ze's eyes lit up slightly, and he instantly teleported to his target's side.
This is the corpse of a ten-meter-tall rock creature. Judging from its appearance, it should be an immortal king of the Jiuyan clan. Judging from the remaining aura, its strength is at least at the peak of the king level. However, to be able to break through here, its strength must be above the peak of the king level.
"This species is known for its strong defenses, but unfortunately, they encountered a swarm of Soul-Destroying Bees that specializes in attacking souls. However, this was their own choice—" "Hmm, birds die for food, and people die for wealth—"
With a smile, Zhou Ze looked down at an extremely hidden vortex at the foot of the cliff, where a treasure was faintly emanating from it!
