After the Crystal Devouring Beast successfully devoured a large number of giant beast spoils, its rank officially jumped to the peak of the Quasi-Earth Rank. It jumped directly from the initial Level 9 Star Beast Embryo to Level 11 Earth Rank, a full three minor ranks higher!

Star Beasts possess extremely powerful combat talents. However, just like the advancement of giant beasts, the growth of each star beast is inevitably accompanied by the fall of its own kind. The core of its companions is not only the nourishment for the star beasts' growth, but also the most crucial raw material for their advancement to the Heavenly Rank!

After devouring the cores of dozens of giant beasts, the Crystal Devouring Beast that Chen Feng was raising had evolved into a half-mechanical, half-crystal organism.

It is about fifty or sixty centimeters square in size, and its body is shaped like an irregular rhomboid crystal block. The surface of the crystal is covered with silver-gray mechanical armor plates and components.

At this moment, the Crystal Devouring Beast was obediently rubbing against Chen Feng's fingertips.

Anyone who sees it would think it's a well-trained pet.

However, only Chen Feng knew that beneath this docile appearance... the Crystal Devouring Beast was a bloodthirsty killing machine.

"From now on, I'll call you Xiao Wei, okay?"

Chen Feng teased the Crystal Devouring Beast in front of him with his hand as he spoke.

No sooner had the words been spoken than the Crystal Devouring Beast stirred.

Its eight sharp mechanical feet first sank slightly, and then lifted up very gently.

The silver-gray mechanical armor plates scattered across the crystal surface rubbed against each other with this slight movement, producing a series of soft "clicking" sounds.

The gesture was small, but it clearly conveyed the meaning of "agreement".

The movement wasn't particularly agile; it even carried a stiffness characteristic of crystalline organisms.

But what Chen Feng saw touched his heart...

After all, who could have imagined that a powerful, highly intelligent star beast would respond to the name Chen Feng gave it in such a clumsy yet earnest way?

Chen Feng smiled faintly and patted Xiao Wei's body again.

......

At this moment, in the dark dimension where Weiyang is located.

The silhouettes of the skyscrapers in the darkness resembled steel behemoths that had slept for a thousand years. Between the closely packed buildings, when the last gust of wind swept through, even the air carried a cold, desolate, and almost stagnant desolation.

But that huge full moon seemed like a deity bestowing light upon the city.

The moonlight was as clear as silk, pouring down.

Wei Yang stood atop a dilapidated building, her gaze fixed on the city swallowed by darkness before her.

"You were looking for me?"

After a flash of light from a dimensional portal, Chen Feng appeared behind Wei Yang.

Wei Yang nodded and turned to look at Chen Feng.

"I have discovered the trail of the Time Hunters. I believe that capturing one of them will guide us to the strongest Time Hunter," Wei Yang said.

Chen Feng walked to Wei Yang's side and looked in the direction he was looking.

On the top of the building opposite, there are several light blue spatial leap patterns.

That wasn't an ordinary energy trajectory; it was more like an invisible giant blade that had carved a rift in the curtain of three-dimensional space.

"I found it using the detector that Qi gave me. After observing for many days, I discovered that it is the place where the Time Hunter is about to appear."

As Wei Yang spoke to Chen Feng, she handed him the detector.

"So... how do you plan to capture them? I think I heard Puppet Seven say that they only stay for two seconds before diving back into the time tunnel."

Wei Yang smiled, but there was a cruel glint in her smile.

"Of course, it's by catching them alive..."

Suddenly! Wei Yang's figure vanished from her original spot and instantly teleported to the rooftop balcony of the building opposite.

Almost simultaneously, the several light blue spatial jump patterns began to connect with each other, eventually forming a dark blue spatial domain.

The next moment, several figures solidified from the dark blue spatial domain and flew forward rapidly.

They wore dark silver, tight-fitting combat suits covered in fluorescent patterns resembling star trails, and their pupils reflected the distorted nebula-like light and shadow unique to dimensional space.

That's the action of the time-space hunter anchoring the coordinates of the true body.

Every so often, time hunters, like divers, need to return to the real world to re-anchor their physical coordinates. Without this action, they might be lost forever in the space-time continuum.

Just as those strange figures were preparing to re-enter the dimensional portal...

A sudden, dark gust of wind swept in!

Wei Yang's figure, like a ghost, had already silently approached the group of figures.

Before the cruel smile on his face had faded, the hand that had transformed into a black shadow ignored the leap energy escaping from outside the spatial domain and pierced straight through the light blue light curtain.

"Buzz—"

The moment the energy collided with Wei Yang's palm, a piercing buzzing sound exploded, and countless blue light spots scattered in all directions like startled fireflies.

The female time hunter's pupils suddenly contracted. Before the look of astonishment could even appear on her face, her body was directly pushed out of the dimensional tunnel by the explosion of the shadow power.

"ah!!"

The female time hunter's body felt as if it had been forcibly pulled from a viscous swamp of time and space; the sluggish sensation as she fell to the ground caused her to groan involuntarily, and a bead of blood trickled from the corner of her mouth...

Her companions in front of her turned around at the sound, but only their eyes showed shock and anger.

However, their bodies had already been more than half integrated into the dimensional space, and they had no time to turn back to rescue them. They could only let out a few low growls containing murderous intent.

The next second, the dark blue spatial domain suddenly contracted.

The figures of those time hunters vanished from their original spots in an instant, leaving only a few rapidly fading light blue afterimages.

Seeing this, Chen Feng approached Wei Yang's side and looked at the pitiful-looking time-traveling female hunter...

"Why are you grabbing women like this?" Chen Feng asked.

"She was at the very end, so if I don't arrest her, who else can I arrest?"

Wei Yang replied indifferently.

"And she wasn't a living, breathing person."
