High Martial Arts: Slay enemies to become stronger, forge invincibility from billions of corpses.

Song Chen replied calmly, "I won't go. I just finished fighting KG-11 and I'm too exhausted. I need to rest. You guys go ahead."

Sora didn't ask any further questions: "Alright, the Solar Prominence Group owes you a life. We'll repay you when we have the chance."

The two then switched channels simultaneously.

The ships of the Prominence Assault Regiment and the ice-crystal-coated warships of the Cold Tide Special Forces accelerated toward the main star inside the Moonshadow Civilization.

Song Chen turned around and boarded the Shadow Bee Jump Craft.

The hatch closed, the life support system restarted, and the familiar pale blue lights in the cockpit came on.

He lowered the seat back, lay down for a few minutes, and went over what he needed to do next in his mind.

The KG-11 amassed 320 billion kills in a single battle, a figure akin to a huge sum of money deposited in a bank that can be withdrawn at any time.

He quickly calculated the allocation plan in his mind.

First thing: Change the knife.

The Heavenly Blade is an S-class battle blade, the top-tier equipment on Earth, and a gift from his teacher, Zhou Wangyue, to him as an initiation present.

He used this sword to cleave his way from Earth to the universe, cutting through alien beasts, winged people, rebels, and even the fusion of blood-corroding creatures and peak seventh-order beings.

However, the upper limit of S-grade materials is limited. The fourth level of the Star-Splitting Slash has already reached the Star Crown level. Using this sword is like using a wooden stick to chop an iron plate. It can chop, but the wooden stick itself will also crack.

The second thing: accumulate attributes.

He is still far from breaking through to the eighth rank. The threshold for condensing star source power is one hundred points. Each point requires one million blood and one million mental power, for a total of one hundred million blood and one hundred million mental power, which translates to one trillion kill points.

However, you cannot make purchases here.

Song Chen pushed down the control stick, and the Shadow Bee warship's engine emitted a low hum as the bow was aimed at the uninhabited airspace far from the Moon Shadow Civilization.

The pale blue warp rings lit up one by one, space folded in front of the bow, and the ship silently slid into the rift.

Several hours later, the Shadow Bee emerged from its warp state and came to rest in a vast expanse of interstellar space.

There are no stars or planets within a dozen light-years of this airspace. The most recent record of civilization activity is the autopilot log of a passing cargo ship three hundred years ago.

Song Chen set the spaceship to automatic levitation mode, opened the hatch, and floated out.

Absolute silence enveloped him in the void, with the magnificent arc of the Milky Way's spiral arms above his head and endless darkness beneath his feet.

He opened the system shop and went straight to the Star Crown-level equipment section.

The weapons category lists a dozen or so items, each with a light gold border.

There are three types of Star Crown-class battle swords: The first type is called Starbreaker, a heavy battle sword with a single-edged, thick back, which is biased towards slashing. The blade is forged from a high-density psionic alloy, and the back of the blade is inlaid with a Star Source Force resonance groove, making it suitable for head-on confrontation. The price is 150 billion kill points.

The second one is called Flowing Light, a lightweight battle knife with a double-edged, thin blade that is speed-oriented. The blade is made using a plasma quenching process, which produces a natural high-frequency vibration effect, making it suitable for rapid attacks and continuous slashes. It costs 120 billion kill points.

The third model is called Meteorite, a standard combat knife. Its blade length and weight are similar to the Heavenly Blade, but the materials have been completely upgraded. The handle and tip are forged as a single piece, and the price is 200 billion.

Song Chen compared the descriptions of the three battle knives several times before choosing the Meteorite.

He possesses a sword technique like the Star-Splitting Slash, which has exponentially increasing power. He doesn't need a heavy sword like the Star-Breaking Slash, which is purely based on strength. The power of each strike of the Star-Splitting Slash doubles, while the increased slashing power of the heavy sword is negligible in the face of the cumulative effect.

He doesn't need a pure speed blade like the Flowing Light. Void Travel has already pushed his mobility to its limit, and the attack speed bonus of a speed-type blade is not very meaningful in the face of high-frequency spatial jumps.

Meteorite best suits his fighting style.

[Confirmed to have spent 200 billion kill points to exchange for the Meteorite Battle Blade?]

"confirm."

A knife emerged from the system panel and hovered in the void in front of him.

The meteorite's shape is more understated than the Tianjun Blade. The blade is about the same length as the Tianjun Blade, with a slightly thicker back and a thin but sharp edge.

The blade is jet black, with no patterns or designs on its surface, and very little reflection. Starlight falling on the blade seems to be absorbed into it.

The handle is forged from the same color alloy, and the grip has a fine anti-slip texture.

Song Chen reached out and grasped the hilt of the knife. The angle between the hilt and his palm was just right, and the spiritual energy within the star core automatically flowed into the blade.

A very thin golden membrane appeared on the blade, compressed to an almost invisible thickness. Only when the blade was directly facing the light source could a faint golden halo be seen.

Then he took out the Heavenly Blade from his storage space, held one in each hand, and made a simple comparison.

The Heavenly Blade had been with him for far too long. From the moment Zhou Wangyue handed him the blade, he had been wielding it as he fought his way through the world.

He turned the Tianjun Blade over and, on the back of the blade near the hilt, carved two small characters with the tip of the meteorite blade: Song Chen.

After finishing carving, he put the Heavenly Blade back into his storage space and placed it together with the silver-white metal box.

Then Song Chen opened the attribute exchange panel and started adding attributes. He exchanged all of the remaining 120 billion killing points for attributes.

The amount of Qi and blood increased from 24 million to 36 million, costing 60 billion.

His mental strength increased from 23 million to 35 million, which is 60 billion.

Over a hundred billion kill points were devoured by the system in a matter of seconds, and a familiar heat surged from his dantian, flowing along his meridians into every muscle and bone in his body.

He closed his eyes, letting his body automatically adapt to the new power.

Just then, the disciplinary department's terminal vibrated.

He turned on his screen, and the system automatically pushed an emergency distress signal. The signal level was the highest priority of the Alliance's standard rescue channel, and the source coordinates were less than five light-years away from his current location.

"This is the seventh transport fleet of the Moonshadow Civilization. We are under siege by the Blood Erosion Civilization's pursuing forces."

"Our frigate's energy shield has dropped to 31%. We request support from any other civilized ships that receive this signal. Requesting support."

After listening to the broadcast, Song Chen put the Meteor Blade back into his storage space. He was overjoyed; he had just used up his kill points, and now more were coming.

He turned and boarded the Shadowbee, five light-years away, in a single jump.

He entered the coordinates into the navigation system, and the pale blue transition rings lit up one by one.

The instant the jump was completed, Song Chen's vision was filled with a dark red shadow that obscured the entire porthole.

He paused for a moment, then realized it was a ship.

To be precise, it was a super-giant ship that was crashing.

The ship in front of him stretched from the left edge of his field of vision to the right edge, with no end in sight.

The Eye of Truth automatically activated and measured the data: the ship's length exceeded one thousand kilometers, its widest point was about one hundred and twenty kilometers, and its height exceeded forty kilometers.

Judging from its appearance alone, the entire ship looks like a mobile city.

What does "thousands of kilometers" mean?

The size of this ship is equivalent to that of all the base cities on Earth.
