Wizard: Starting with Dealing with Magical Plants

Chapter 349 The Third Ring Road!

The excruciating pain felt like millions of red-hot steel needles, churning wildly in my mind.

The violent power of the [Star Essence] almost completely tore apart the consciousness that was already on the verge of collapse.

The celestial vortex was expanding and trembling, but it could never complete that crucial "collapse transformation".

The traditional path to advancement—compression, crystallization, and qualitative change—seems to have reached a dead end under the pressure of this violent energy surge and the brink of life and death.

Rolin's consciousness teetered on the edge of an abyss of excruciating pain and despair.

No—the path of [Quiet Dust Star] doesn't seem to be a simple matter of compression and qualitative change—

The fragments in Master Veranica's notes, the deductions in Master Evelyn's gray notebook, and the profound understanding of the unique, serene, and stable nature of [Silent Dust Star] during this period, in this desperate situation, are like lightning flashing in the darkness, illuminating another path!

Yes—the essence of the [Star Source Meditation Method] lies in constructing one's natal star and expanding one's star chart!

The first ring of enlightenment is to light up and awaken.

The second ring of stillness is sedimentation, is stability.

So, what kind of star needs to be lit up in this battlefield of carnage, in this life-or-death situation, at this moment when force is needed to break the deadlock and eliminate all obstacles?

The answer is obvious!

"It's not compression—it's illumination! It's resonance! It's a summoning!!"

The remaining will roared silently, no longer attempting to forcibly control or compress the raging star marrow energy, but instead guiding it along the star map trajectory already established by [Quiet Dust Star], towards the spiritual sea's sky, towards that area ravaged by successive fierce battles...

The area, already restless from the stimulation of marking and the struggle for survival, crashed into it fiercely!

That domain represents slaughter, sharpness, and the resolute will to cut through all obstacles!

It was the fighting spirit he felt when facing the aberrations in the Throat of the Dead, the vigilance he felt when sensing a threat at the edge of the Gray Fog Hollow, the bravery he showed when facing the Purifiers in the ruins, and the determination to die now that he was surrounded and used himself as bait!

The violent energy of the Star Essence, mixed with the killing intent accumulated on the battlefield and its own indomitable fighting spirit, transformed into an unprecedented crimson-silver torrent, fiercely impacting that dark "star position"!

The mental sea of ​​sky trembled violently, as if it were about to collapse!

But the power of [Quiet Dust Star] firmly anchors the foundation, providing the final stability.

boom!!!

Deep within my consciousness, it was as if some ancient, dormant star core had been suddenly illuminated by this torrent of energy mixed with a murderous will!

A brand new illusory star slowly emerged and coalesced on the spiritual sea of ​​sky, beside the warm and steady silver-white halo of [Quiet Dust Star]!

Its light is not silvery-white, but rather a restrained yet incredibly sharp crimson-silver!

As the starlight shifted, it seemed as if countless tiny sword beams were being born and dying, radiating a chilling killing intent that could cut through and pierce everything!

The third natal star: [Slaughter Star]!

He is in charge of killing and warfare, wielding the sharpest edge!

The moment [Star Slayer] was activated, the entire mental sea underwent a tremendous change!

The stellar vortex, which was originally on the verge of collapse, did not collapse. Instead, under the radiation of the starlight of the [Star Slayer] and the unique star map resonance of the [Star Source Meditation Method], its structure became more stable and condensed. The star power it emitted naturally carried a trace of the sharp characteristics of the [Star Slayer], and its total amount and purity increased several times!

More importantly, mental strength!

Under the combined illumination of the three main stars and the expansion of the star map, a fundamental leap and star-like transformation occurred!

Their mental strength became more refined and resilient, and their perception gained a sharp intuition that could discern weaknesses in energy and detect deadly threats!

The Third Ring Road!

Successfully advanced using the unique method of the [Star Source Meditation]!

The external attacks have already reached our bodies!

Execution-type blades, hunting-type beams!

At this critical moment, Roland suddenly opened his eyes!

The eyes were no longer simply filled with a silvery-white sea of ​​stars, but rather the left eye was as calm as an abyss and the right eye as sharp as a sword!

His aura instantly transformed from calm and restrained to that of a divine weapon unsheathed, with an overwhelming killing intent beneath his composed foundation!

A layer of incredibly condensed star power shield, with a reddish-silver luster and edges that seemed to shimmer with subtle starlight and sword energy, instantly covered the entire body!

clang!!!

boom!!!

The blade slashes down, and beams of light bombard!

The crimson-silver shield trembled violently, with ripples spreading across its surface. It was even slashed half an inch into by the full force of the execution-type attack, producing a piercing friction sound, but—in the end, it held on!

Moreover, the crimson and silver starlight flowing on the shield seemed to have a faint tendency to erode and weaken the dark golden energy blade!

Luo Lin slowly stood up from the ground, his movements no longer sluggish or painful, but rather smooth and fluid, carrying a chilling killing intent.

He glanced at the slash marks on his arm shield, then at the executioner in front of him, who seemed slightly sluggish due to the failed attack.

Is this the power of the third ring [Star Slayer]?

It's not just about the increase and qualitative change in the total amount of star power, but also about the sharpening of mental power, as well as a natural resistance and counter-resistance to killing and energy attacks!

Star power surged through his body, carrying the steadfast and grounded essence of [Quiet Dust Star], while also containing the sharp and penetrating edge of [Slaying Star].

A mental scan reveals the weak points in the execution armor and the gaps in the operation of the hunting energy circuit.

The battle, at this moment, became completely different.

With a slight thought, Luo Lin's [Star Flow Water Field] activated naturally without any conscious effort. His movement speed increased nearly twice as fast as before, and his trajectory carried an unpredictable and sharp turn.

He did not attack immediately, but instead tried to mobilize the power of [Star Slayer].

With his right index and middle fingers joined together, crimson and silver starlight flickered at the fingertips, condensing into a highly refined [Starlight Sword Finger] about an inch long.

Its natural aura alone caused the surrounding air to make a subtle tearing sound.

He pointed at a hard rock about half a person's height next to him.

laugh!

A faint, reddish-silver light flashed by.

A hole about the thickness of a thumb, with smooth, mirror-like edges and a depth of about a foot, silently appeared on the surface of the rock!

Its penetrating power is terrifying!

Moreover, Rolin could sense that the Star-Slaying Power contained within the Star-Sparkling Sword Finger had an additional destructive effect on energy shields and sturdy structures.

well.

He looked up at the execution-type and the hunting-type on the side.

The hunter-type seemed to sense a deadly threat, and immediately turned its energy gun, firing a rapid beam.

A flash of crimson-silver starlight appeared beneath Roland's feet, and his figure moved several meters sideways like a ghost, easily dodging the beam of light.

At the same time, he pressed down with his left hand, holding back the power of [Quiet Dust Star] and setting up a hidden [Sinking Force Field] in front of him, slowing down the hunting-type movements and energy flow.

The executioner raised its blade once more, as dark golden energy gathered wildly.

But this time, Rowling didn't give it a chance to build up its strength.

His figure charged forward!

Driven by the [Starflow Water Field], the speed is as fast as lightning!

The crimson-silver starlight left a faint trail behind it.

Just as it was about to strike the executioner, Rolin twisted his body sharply, narrowly avoiding its sweeping left arm, and appeared to its side, at the vulnerable structure exposed at the base of the damaged energy wing.

He condensed the Starlight Sword Finger in his right hand and stabbed it fiercely into the crack!

Before the fingertips even arrived, the sharp aura emanating from the crimson-silver starlight had already caused the execution-type armor to groan under its strain.

puff!

There were no earth-shattering explosions.

The starlight sword finger, like a red-hot knife cutting into butter, easily pierced through the heavy execution-type armor and penetrated deep inside!

The sharp power of [Star Slayer] surged wildly into his fingertips, like countless tiny blades, ravaging, cutting, and destroying his intricate energy circuits and internal structure!

The massive executioner's body suddenly froze, the data stream flickered wildly and erratically, the dark golden light dimmed rapidly, and the blade of its half-raised right arm fell limply to the ground.

Luo Lin withdrew his finger and stepped back.

Countless fine cracks, shimmering with a reddish-silver light, began to appear on the surface of the execution-type body, spreading rapidly from the inside.

boom!

With a muffled thud, this powerful Purifier, as if its interior were filled with explosives, disintegrated from the inside out into countless metal fragments burning with crimson and silver starlight!

Clean, efficient, and effective!

This is completely different from the previous hard-won victories achieved through skill and interference!

This is the power to destroy stars!

Seeing this, the remaining hunter-type aircraft seemed to finally generate a judgment similar to invincibility in its data stream. Without hesitation, it turned around, opened its energy wings at full speed, and tried to escape.

"Are you able to leave?"

Rolin's eyes were cold, and he made a half-clenched fist with his left hand in the direction the hunter had fled.

【Silent Dust Star】Micro-dust Star Lock!

Several extremely thin yet incredibly strong silver-white star power chains materialized out of thin air and instantly wrapped around the hunting-type legs and energy wings!

The settling force attached to the chains caused its speed to drop sharply, and its energy output was blocked.

At the same time, Luo Lin pointed his right index finger in the air.

【Star Slayer】—Starlight Piercing Through!

A condensed crimson-silver starlight, as if teleporting, traversed dozens of meters and struck the connection between the hunter's nape and torso with unparalleled precision—its relatively vulnerable control point!

laugh!

The crimson-silver starlight penetrated, freezing the hunting motion instantly. Then, emitting black smoke, it collapsed to the ground, struggled twice, and fell silent.

The battle is over.

From consuming the essence of star marrow to activating the [Star Slayer] and advancing to the third ring, and then defeating two powerful enemies, the entire process took only a dozen or so breaths.

Luo Lin stood there, slightly out of breath.

Although the immediate enemy was defeated, the star power was greatly depleted, especially since it was the first time using the power of [Star Slayer], and the mental energy consumption was greater than expected.

He quickly checked himself.

The initial stage of the third ring has been completely stabilized. The [Morning Star], [Quiet Dust Star], and [Slaying Star] shine brightly on the spiritual sea sky. The star power is both calm and sharp, and the spiritual power is more condensed and has a sharp intuition to see through weaknesses and capture killing intent.

Our strength has undergone a qualitative leap!

But the crisis is far from over.

The marker filter on my wrist was still burning hot, but the connection felt icy cold. The being on the other end had clearly "seen" everything that was happening here, and that angered will was even clearer.

Even more violent tremors and roars came from the direction of the sinkhole, indicating that the three annihilation-type vehicles were about to break free.

The energy fluctuations of reinforcements from the direction of Muta City in the distance are getting closer and closer, but the sounds of battle inside the city are still intense.

Captain Quinn and his team —

Luo Lin glanced at the pile of buried rubble and suppressed the urge to search immediately.

The immediate priority is to continue the decoy plan and lure the remaining threats away from the city.

He took a deep breath, circulated the power of [Quiet Dust Star], and quickly restored his star power. At the same time, he restrained the overly exposed sharpness of [Slaughter Star], retaining only the most basic killing intent within.

Then, he turned around and sped off into the depths of the northern wilderness without looking back.

The unique fluctuations on his body, which could not be completely concealed due to the mark and his recent advancement, were like a dim but attractive lamp in the twilight of the wilderness, drawing moths in.

The hunt begins, a new round begins.

This time, however, the bait has transformed into a more threatening hunter.
