“Oh? This fellow swallowed the heart of the swamp. It dares to eat everything! It benefits me anyway!”

With a thought, Li Xiang got the Heart of the Swamp into his hand with his genuine Qi before it could land on the ground. He then sent it directly into the Tower of Stars.

The moment this treasure fell into the Tower of Stars, it was instantly devoured. The tower instantly rose by another level. The original eight-story tower became nine stories.

At the same time, inside the tower, the Heart of the Swamp had opened up a new grotto-heaven.

The moment the Tower of Stars fell back into Li Xiang’s hands, a strange feeling welled up in his heart. He seemed to feel the joy of the tower. It was a very wonderful feeling.

Meanwhile, all the spaces in the Tower of Stars began to shrink due to the merging of the Hear of the Swamp.

For example, the 20-kilometer-radius in the Primal Chaos Pearl had shrunk by 2 kilometers to 18 kilometers. The other spaces had also shrunk by 3 to 5 kilometers.

Not only did they fail to preserve the area they had previously expanded, bu they also shrank a little.

The new Swamp Space in his heart was a world of swamps, and traces of miasma began to rise from the swamp. It filled the entire grotto-heaven secret realm.

“This is the Swamp Space!”

Li Xiang was overjoyed, ‘If this grotto-heaven space can grow, it will be able to suppress enemies here in the future. Those who are weaker will probably die here. In this way, I’ll have one more method to deal with the enemy. Furthermore, after merging with the Tower of Stars, the Heart of the Swamp had already reached the peak of the rank 9 divine realm. If there was a chance in the future, it could even become the Holy Light grade world core. If it becomes the core of the world, then this place will transform into a world.’

The difference between a grotto-heaven and a world was that the laws within the grotto-heaven were incomplete. Even the Sun and the Moon inside were projected from the outside world.

A real world would give birth to a complete set of nomological laws. Even if it was just a nascent nomological law embryo, its completeness was unquestionable. Even the Sun and the Moon would be born on their own. No matter how weak they were, they were still the Sun and the Moon.

This was the biggest difference between a grotto-heaven and a world.

Although he had expected the upgrade the Heart of the Swamp brought about, he couldn’t help but feel overjoyed after witnessing it.

Moreover, a normal grotto-heaven would be the same as the previous grotto-heavens that were opened. Although it would be affected by the rare treasure that created the world, it would eventually form a normal world, which was completely nurtured by the Primal Chaos Air and had all five elements.

But now, under the influence of the Heart of the Swamp, the extremely special world that was born had an even more wonderful effect.

It was just like this Swamp Space. Although the interior of the space wasn’t suitable for the survival of ordinary living beings, it could be used as a place to suppress or even punish enemies. At the same time, the poisonous miasma produced could also be refined and absorbed, nourishing the Primal Chaos Space to produce Primal Chaos Air, allowing the Tower of Stars to grow at a faster rate.

With the addition of another floor, the Tower of the Stars had now become a nine-story tower.

In the space of the tower, other than the Primal Chaos Pearl, which had a radius of 18 kilometers, all the other spaces complemented each other during the upgrade. The radius of all the spaces had reached the same level, which was 80 kilometers.

This seemed to be an adaptive adjustment, making the spaces in the tower more balanced.

When Li Xiang first obtained the blueprint of this tower, he felt that this treasure was extremely deceptive. Before the worlds inside were promoted to the large worlds, every time a world was added, the other worlds would be affected and shrank.

The goal of the large worlds was like another parallel line that could never be approached. It did not seem far, but the lines could not intersect.

As long as the level of this tower continued to increase, then no matter how big the interior of the other spaces was, they would also shrink when a new level was reached.

It was like a bottomless pit. No matter how many resources were invested, it would be impossible to upgrade the tower to a true treasure as long as the owner did not limit its level.

Therefore, Li Xiang was not exaggerating when he said that this treasure was a scam.

However, from another perspective, the more spaces there were in the tower, the stronger its foundation would be. The power of the grotto-heavens contained in it would also be an extremely powerful trump card. How many people could resist this temptation?

As the Heart of the Swamp opened up a space in the tower, the aura of the tower became more powerful.

Li Xiang looked around and sneered.

With a thought, the Tower of Stars suddenly flew out and landed on the ground with a loud bang, causing stomach acid to splatter everywhere.

The tower suddenly expanded almost at the same time. In a breath’s time, the huge stomach was lifted.

The Alligator, which had been overjoyed to have swallowed the Heart of the Swamp and was waiting for its transformation, suddenly felt its body sink. It was as if a mountain had appeared in its body, and it fell madly into the mud.

When the Tower of Stars was in Li Xiang’s hands, it seemed to be only a few dozen pounds, which was insignificant.

However, after it fell into the Alligator’s stomach, the nine grotto-heaven secret realms in addition to the Primal Chaos Grotto-heaven gave a stacked weight of the grotto-heavens. Even a hundred or a thousand meters long Alligator would not be able to move under the heavy pressure of these ten grotto-heavens, let alone a mere ten-meter-long Alligator.

The Alligator fell to the bottom of the swamp with a dull thud.

This time, the Alligator was seriously injured. Its belly was pressed to the ground, and it could not move at all.

The Alligator was confused by this sudden change.

Now, its instincts told it that it was very likely that its body would be pierced through by that terrifying pressure if it dared to struggle.It would die a miserable death.

“Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!”

At this moment, it felt a sharp pain in its body. Then, it turned around and saw a battle spear suddenly pierce out of its back. After a few consecutive stabs, blood gushed out, and a huge wound was opened on its back.

It finally knew that it had eaten a disaster, but it did not have any thoughts of regret. Its spiritual intelligence had not evolved to such a level.

“Hmph! You’re just an Alligator. Killing you from the outside would have taken a bit of effort. After all, you’re a top-tier divine grade murderer with tough scales and violent strength. But since I’ve entered your stomach, your life and death will no longer be in your hands.”

Li Xiang waved his battle spear and forcibly cut open the Alligator’s stomach. Then, he broke through the flesh and found its heart, and pierced it with the spear.

“Roar!”

The Alligator let out a shrill and desperate roar. Its body struggled wildly, but it was like a huge lizard that had been stabbed to the ground by a long spear. It could only wait for its death.

The Alligator stared at Li Xiang, and tears fell from its eyes. It was as if it was shedding tears of regret after realizing that it had made a big mistake and it was going to die.
