Chapter 827 Star-Eating Beetle! A Starry Sky Pest!
This was indeed the planet Su Ping had predicted.

On this planet, the air is thick with the smell of rust, yet it is imbued with an indescribable golden element.

At the same time, the energy of the gold element on this planet is far less pure than on Earth.

To reiterate, the unique nature of Earth is vastly different from that of other energy entities in the universe.

The atmosphere of Earth filters and extracts the energy floating in the universe, while also making the energy entities born on the planet itself more transparent and pure.

After seeing the other planets, Su Ping became even more aware of these changes.

However, this is not the time to focus on these things.

The giant dust planet isn't large, but the gravity it possesses is quite formidable, comparable to that of Earth. Moreover, at high speeds, it exerts a unique and inexplicable sense of oppression.

"Senior Huangfu, is this the Giant Dust Star? Where is its core?"

Huangfu Qing reappeared from the pages of the Book of Time and nodded:
"This is it. I will never forget the unique gold element properties here. Back then, in order to forge the Seven Star Moon Slaying Sword, I searched for many special gold element planets in the starry sky. The abundance of gold elements here left a deep impression on me."

However, compared to when I first arrived decades ago, this place is much larger. I wonder if the tunnel to the star core is still there. Follow my direction…”

tunnel?

Su Ping raised an eyebrow and nodded.

This planet is indeed not very big.

Even smaller than the moon, such a planet having a fixed orbit in the universe is nothing short of a miracle.

However, Huangfu Qing had previously stated that the effect of discovering that star core was to stabilize it in the starry sky, preventing the condensed planet from shaking randomly. In a sense, the star core is the foundation for a planet to become a star.

Right now, finding a tunnel on this small planet is both difficult and easy.

Even though there are certain rules suppressing this planet, Su Ping's vast mental power was enough to detect one-tenth of the planet's surface conditions in a short time.

So, in about half an hour, a dark passage appeared in front of Su Ping.

but……

Looking at the passageway, which was only about one person high, Su Ping frowned:

"Senior, are you sure this is really the place?"

Huangfu Qing looked at the tunnel and finally nodded in affirmation:

“That’s right. I left some mental imprints here back then. Although they have become much thinner due to the expansion of the planet, my senses are still very clear after I returned.”

"But……"

Su Ping looked at the deep cave. His spiritual power could not penetrate it directly. The closer he got to the core of the planet, just like when he was on the sun and the blue planet, the more terrifying the oppressive force became.

So, even after stretching for hundreds of kilometers, he still couldn't see the end of this thing.

However, this is not the most important thing.

Most importantly, at the entrance of this tunnel, Su Ping could see that on the surface of this ground, which was as hard as steel, or even harder than steel, there were crawling marks.

The crawling marks were extremely deep, clearly not something an ordinary creature could have made.

"Senior, when you first came to this planet, were there any other living beings on it?"

Huangfu Qing shook his head directly:
"No, there really isn't. When I first came here, this planet was very small, only about a third of what it is now. Otherwise, the star core wouldn't have been exposed."

However, this mark definitely indicates the presence of an alien species. You'd better be careful, kid..."

During this time, in order to travel to the starry sky, Su Ping also brushed up on some knowledge and common sense about the starry sky.

He showed no fear or panic whatsoever.

In the vast starry sky and endless worlds, over the years, within the scope of the universe explored by humankind, no mythical existence has been found.

Even the most powerful beings in the starry universe, according to human records, should be a group of elemental beasts called the Spirits of Radiance on a planet named Scorching Star.

At that time, the strongest King of Light was a legendary being.

After becoming a mythology breeder and coming into contact with many of the world's secrets, Su Ping learned that the pet of the Radiant Spirit was the original race of the angels from the Land of Light. After returning to Blue Star, they were created by the Land of Light and used to establish a religion.

In this starry sky, the blue planet is undoubtedly the core.

Su Ping really didn't believe that he could encounter something mythical just by going out casually.

Thinking of this, Su Ping licked his lips, still young and fearless, and waved his hand dismissively:
"It's alright, let's go in and take a look."

It sounds grand, but the necessary preparations still need to be made.

Su Ping's several pet beasts, especially the top-tier combat power Xiao Huo and Qian Yi, one leading the charge and the other bringing up the rear, burrowed straight into the dark cave.

The dark cave was filled with tranquility and eeriness.

However, Su Ping was naturally not afraid at all.

Within the area covered by spiritual energy, there have been no unusual movements for the time being.

At the same time, he was also prepared to run away and enter the Beast Taming Space at any time.

As a beast tamer who controls the Realm of All Spirits, a so-called true small world, one should still make the most of one's strengths.

Just as he was thinking this, his footsteps didn't last long. Finally, within Su Ping's mental sensing range, a special aura appeared.

Just as Su Ping had observed before, those marks were likely caused by an insect similar to an ant, except that this insect was much larger.

As it turned out, Su Ping's guess was correct.

From within the dark cave, a gigantic golden figure crawled out.

It is entirely silver-white, with eight legs, and a slender body about three meters long. Inside its huge mouth, a pair of large fangs gleam with a chilling light.

Then there is no more then.

Because Qianyi, who was leading the charge, sensed this figure at almost the same time, and then transformed into a sword light and rushed out.

Upon seeing Qianyi, the giant insect immediately flew into a rage.

The mottled golden elemental power flickered, transforming into armor on the insect's body. Instead of retreating, it actively charged towards Qian Yi.

Clang!
With a single stroke of the sword, the strange golden insect was instantly dismembered.

At the same time, Su Ping also fully sensed the strength and level of this thing.

Imperial level.

Su Ping frowned slightly.

He wouldn't dare say he'd seen every species on Earth, but this was the first time he'd ever seen anything like it. It's a real shame it was killed so easily, without having a proper chance to study this extraterrestrial creature beyond Earth.

However, he couldn't say anything about Qianyi.

Fortunately, perhaps due to Qian Yi's intervention, the death of this insect caused the entire tunnel to tremble. Immediately afterward, one after another, enormous insects appeared within the range of mental perception.

Not only that, in addition to the silver worms that appeared earlier, there were also brass-colored worms and golden worms that appeared later.

These three colors of insects represent a very simple class and a difference in power.

And the all-seeing eye finally managed to see a bit of the insect's secrets before all of them were wiped out:
【Star-Eating Beetle (Wild)】

【age:??】

【Attribute: Metal】

[Current Level: Holy Spirit Tier 2]

[Racial Potential: Holy Spirit Tier 10]

[Skills: Super Indestructible (Proficient), Beetle Transport (Proficient), Super Wormhole Excavation (Proficient), Rapid Spawning (Perfect), Mental Link (Proficient)]

[Personality Analysis: Lacking free will and personality, their actions and self-awareness are completely controlled by the insect queen.]

[Skill Analysis: A versatile warrior of the race with abilities such as laying eggs, fighting, transporting, and digging, but it is clear that its strength is extremely weak among the Holy Spirit level.]

[Evolutionary Analysis: Lacking any evolutionary pathways or extensions, its entire existence is controlled by the queen. Furthermore, the existence of this species is absolutely destructive to any planetary world, making it one of the most destructive cosmic pests. Complete extermination is strongly recommended!]

Ok?
This was the first time Su Ping had seen such feedback from the All-Knowing Eye.

What a pest of the starry sky!

What a brilliant move to wipe them all out!

However, it must be said that after reviewing the Star-Eating Worm's skills, Su Ping was somewhat convinced for the first time. In fact, he was now a little worried that these things might affect his target, his Star Core.

So, after Su Ping finally realized that these junk items seemed to be of no use to him whatsoever, he simply waved his hand dismissively:
"One thousand, slaughter them all, leave no one alive."

However, Huangfu Qing spoke at this moment:

"Kid, don't let that fire-type pet make a move. Although these beetles are pests, they still have value. Their corpses are excellent materials for forging tool-type pets. Collect all the corpses and don't let that fire-type pet melt them all."

"Fizz!"

Xiao Huo was somewhat dissatisfied with Huangfu Qing's prohibition against taking action, but Su Ping understood that Huangfu Qing's words made sense.

When a thousand strikes, it usually just cuts everything in two, but if a small flame were to strike, it would reduce everything to ashes, leaving nothing behind.

Moreover, looking at these corpses, Su Ping thought of the web-weaving gray spider.

I wonder if it would be okay to continue using the bloodline enhancement breeding method and feed the meat of beetles like gray spiders?

However, if these beetles are of the metal element, I wonder if they will affect that little thing.

With that thought in mind, Su Ping shook his head and began his journey of collecting corpses.

It must be said that the starry sky is truly magical.

These star-eating worms, as beings at the Saint-level, are capable of forming colonies, and in such large numbers at that.

Along the way, we encountered not only low-level beetles of the Emperor and Monarch classes, but also a full fifteen golden Saint-level beetles. Their egg-laying ability is truly remarkable.

However, this made Su Ping a little uneasy. Damn it, could his star core really be drained by these damned things?
Seemingly sensing its master's worry, Qianyi's speed increased. Under Qianyi's sword-breaking magic, no beetle could stop Qianyi at this moment. And in the deepest part of this cave, the strange smell of metallic rust became more and more intense.

Finally, Su Ping roughly estimated that he had entered the core of this planet. Sure enough, the next second, through his mental perception, the entire scene and picture suddenly became clear.

This is an extremely open space.

Su Ping's spiritual perception immediately spotted the large, silver-gray egg in the open space.

It's only about the height of one person.

However, an extremely strange power spread from the egg, along with an indescribable mark of rules.

That's right, this is the star core!

However, the state of this star core is somewhat special.

This was because, on top of this enormous egg, lay a tiny beetle that was not as large as the previous beetles.

The beetle was only one meter long.

However, its entire body was extremely pure, and the term "starry sky pest" seemed out of place on it. Unfortunately, the feedback from the all-seeing eye accurately revealed its true identity:
[Star-Eating Insect Mother (Wild)]

【age:??】

[Attribute: Spirit]

[Current Level: Legendary Tier 5]

[Racial Potential: Legendary Tier 10]

[Skills: Super Star Devourer (Proficient), Super Star Perception (Proficient), Super Wormhole Discovery (Perfected), Super Mind Control (Masterful)...]

[Personality Analysis: A queen insect brimming with malevolent wisdom. Her cunning is more worthy of our attention than her strength.]

[Skill Analysis: The physical body is weak, but the mental strength is extremely powerful, and most importantly, the control over the race.]

[Evolutionary Analysis: None]

Looking at the thing in front of him, and then at the slightly dim star core egg, Su Ping waved his hand without thinking.

Qianyi drew his sword and left with a single strike.

However, at this moment, the entire space seemed to begin to tremble, and without thinking, Su Ping's terrifying mental power followed suit.

Only then did he notice a strange vortex writhing beside the beetle.

Wormhole?

This thing has a wormhole that can connect to the outside world? No wonder!
However, Su Ping was still willing to do anything to eliminate pests.

Legendary-level skills, under the suppression of mythical-level skills, have no room for resistance.

With the death of the queen beetle, the remaining beetles also lost their will to resist.

Su Ping breathed a sigh of relief and ignored them. Instead, he hurriedly went to the star core to see if the special resource he had come all this way to collect was still of any use.
