My Mysterious Left Hand

Chapter 140 utterly vulnerable

It even has a hint of pseudo-law divine power. If it is allowed to erupt, even if the defensive array of Moon Spring Star can withstand it, it will inevitably consume a huge amount of resources.

Furthermore, it will have unpredictable impacts on the planet's ecosystem.

"That's about enough. Observation ends here."

Li Chen no longer suppressed his aura.

In an instant, a vast, boundless aura, seemingly containing all the great power of a newly born world, surged into the sky from his seemingly insignificant body.

This aura was not violent, but it seemed to carry supreme majesty, instantly dispersing the surrounding demonic energy.

Even the core of the killing move that was taking shape paused slightly.

The core vortex of the Star Demon suddenly stopped spinning, conveying an incredibly clear will called "fear" and "despair".

It must have realized that what it was facing was not some king-level "insect," but a terrifying, incomprehensible being that had concealed its strength.

The "world" connotation contained in that aura made this demon, which lived by devouring worlds, feel absolute suppression from the top of the food chain.

Li Chen suddenly raised his right hand, palm up, fingers slightly bent.

"Yin and Yang—return to stillness."

He did not use brute force, nor did he employ any complicated supernatural powers.

Within the "Yin-Yang Lake" of the inner world, the twin lotus blossoms glowed faintly.

The next moment, the most fundamental power of "yin-yang balance" and "harmony and transformation" represented by the twin lotus blossoms is unleashed.

A profound sense of "great freedom" and "great transcendence" began to emerge.

A tiny crack silently appeared in the air in front of his palm.

A wisp of chaotic energy, neither black nor white, emerged.

This wisp of energy was so faint as to be almost imperceptible, yet it seemed to contain the profound truth of the birth and death of the universe.

Li Chen gently blew on the core of that massive killing move.

The wisp of chaotic energy drifted and swayed, seemingly weightless, as it flew towards the dark red core of destruction.

A bizarre scene unfolded.

The moment the chaotic energy flow touched the surface of the core of destruction, the incredibly violent and malevolent energy, capable of annihilating stars, began to melt away silently, like ice and snow under the scorching sun.

It is not an explosion, not a confrontation, but the most essential level of "neutrality" and "return to nothingness".

The dark red color faded quickly, and the destructive fluctuations subsided.

The distorted space was restored to its original flatness.

The enormous core shrank and faded at a rate visible to the naked eye.

In just a few breaths, it completely vanished into the void, as if it had never existed.

"this----"

The remaining will of the Star Demon is nothing but boundless bewilderment and deathly silence.

Its strongest attack was just gone, so easily dismissed?

Li Chen gave the Starry Sky Demon no chance to react.

His eyes narrowed as he locked onto the demon's dark red core vortex.

"Illusion and reality—a cycle, a process of stripping away."

The space where the core vortex of the demon was located was instantly stripped of its "real" attribute and turned into absolute "illusion".

It was as if only an empty coordinate remained there.

The core vortex itself was forcibly "materialized" and solidified.

Along with the demonic will, the origin of life, fragments of the laws of evil that it carried, and all other existences, it was "plucked" from the "void" space.

The next moment, the enormous object transformed into a fist-sized, writhing, and struggling dark red crystal, which flew across space into Li Chen's hand.

Without its core, the enormous, asteroid-sized demonic body suddenly stiffened.

All the tentacles floated helplessly in the starry sky.

The magical light on the surface completely extinguished, and the life force receded like a tide, quickly turning into a cold and enormous corpse slowly drifting in the vacuum of space.

"Completely vulnerable!"

Li Chen chuckled, toying with the warm, dark red crystal in his hand.

However, this dark red crystal exudes an aura that is repulsive to all normal living beings.

He tried to delve deep into it with his divine sense, quickly analyzing the remaining fragments of demonic will, life codes, and traces of the unique laws of "evil" and "devouring".

"A Royal-level Star Demon, a subspecies of the 'Abyss Devourer'?"

Li Chen pondered: "The life form is stable, the energy conversion efficiency is extremely high, and the understanding of the laws is rough but the essence is powerful."

This kind of thing seems particularly adept at corrosive and mental pollution —

Its "devouring" characteristic is remarkably similar to some of the concepts in the "Void Furnace Sutra".

However, the directions are completely opposite.

One is orderly refining, the other is disorderly plundering.

Li Chen quickly came to a conclusion.

"The energy and fragments of laws contained in this crystal can be used as research material, or—well, perhaps we could try putting them into the 'Reincarnation Phantom' area within my inner world?"

He wanted to see if this thing could be transformed by the "purification" mechanism, or give rise to some special "negative example" type of law evolution?

However, this carries certain risks.

Even if I am powerful enough, my current level is still too low.

He then casually put away the demon crystal and glanced at the floating giant corpse.

The corpse material shouldn't be wasted, even though I've extracted the core essence using my methods.

But flesh and bones still contain a vast amount of refined energy and matter, which is also a good thing.

This encounter with the Star Demon was a tremendous opportunity for me.

With a thought, Li Chen noticed that the portal to his inner world had quietly opened a crack beside him.

An invisible suction force emanated, slowly engulfing the enormous corpse of the Starry Sky Demon, which stretched for tens of thousands of miles.

"Just consider it adding some external nutrients to the internal world," and see how the five elements circulation and purification mechanism handle it.

In any case, since the core of the Star Demon has already been removed, it will not cause significant pollution to the inner world.

After doing all this, Li Chen looked at Yuequan Star again.

The planetary defense array has returned to calm, and the silver-gold light screen is as stable as ever.

It was as if the crisis that had just struck, a crisis powerful enough to destroy stars, was merely a dream.

Only he knew that he had not only solved a problem, but also obtained a valuable "observation report" and experimental materials.

"A Star Demon at the peak of the Royal level—it seems that with Moonspring Star being transformed into a habitable planet, and my previous actions, I've gradually attracted the attention of those deeper in the universe."

Li Chen seemed to be deep in thought.

"Very well, we'll meet force with force and water with earth. This will be perfect for my newly formed Dao realm," he said, "to find more whetstones and building materials."

.

He vanished from the spot in a flash.

The next moment, he returned to the quiet room of the Moon Spring Star Void Dojo to continue his cultivation and in-depth exploration of his inner world.

Outer space returned to silence, with only the distant stars silently watching everything that had just happened.

Meanwhile, Moon Spring Star continued to rotate quietly in its orbit, as if nothing had happened.

Outside, Yao Ruoxi was worried when Li Chen's voice suddenly appeared in her mind: "It's alright now. Focus on your cultivation and transcend Yuequan Star as soon as possible."

Immediately, her delicate body trembled, and she exclaimed with delight, "Yes, Master!"

Quiet room.

Li Chen sealed off the surrounding space-time, and then took out the dark red crystal.

After a moment's hesitation, he tried collecting the herbs with his left hand.
