Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

The Tianxuan Gem inlaid on the Nine Luminaries Star Bow is the true complete form.

The complete version simply adds one more attribute:

Unlimited mirror replication.

In other words.

As long as Jiang Chuan has enough mana to keep the Xuanji Maze running, no matter how many times the mirror image is broken, those trapped inside will not be able to escape!

This is the truly terrifying aspect of the Xuanji Maze!

High output?

Strong?

I will not confront you head-on!

Once the maze is opened, let the enemy play with their own mirror image. Even if they encounter an opponent they can't beat in the future, Jiang Chuan can wear them down to death!

The mirror image also dropped a piece of equipment, a pair of silver-white bracers, which floated quietly in the starlight.

【Star Guardian Wristband】

[Dark Gold]

[Attributes: Health +100000, Mana +100000, Defense +1000, Magic Resistance +1000]

【Trait: Celestial Protection, Active: Releases a starlight shield that absorbs damage equal to 50% of the caster's maximum health. The shield grants immunity to all status ailments during its duration. Cooldown: 180 seconds】

[Set: Not Activated]

[Exclusive: This equipment possesses an automatic repair feature; it can absorb the power of stars to restore itself after being damaged.]

[Note: The stars never fade, and the protection never ends. This is a fragment of the armor worn by the Eternal Star Lord when he conquered all realms. Although it has been eroded by countless years, the will of the stars contained within it has not been extinguished. It awaits its true master to awaken it once again.]

Dark Gold grade equipment is already considered top-tier gear that would make countless people fight tooth and nail to acquire it in the outside world.

But for him, what he values ​​most is not the attribute bonus of the equipment.

Rather, it is its self-healing feature.

His fighting style has always been fierce, and his clothes are usually ruined after every fight.

With this wrist guard...

At least we no longer have to worry about crawling naked out of the ruins after a fight.

Moreover, he was also very concerned about the labeling of the parts in that set.

This means that the equipment used by the stars is actually a complete set.

What set effect will be unlocked if you collect the whole set?

Jiang Chuan didn't think too much about it. He fastened the wristband to his forearm, and the star pattern on the wristband's face suddenly lit up, then slowly disappeared, as if it had completely merged with his flesh and blood.

"good."

Jiang Chuan moved his wrist, feeling the faint, yet powerful, support emanating from the wristband.

Then he raised his head and took one last look around at the fading sea of ​​stars.

Cleared.

He successfully conquered this eighth-tier secret realm, which was said to have never been truly cleared by anyone.

But he entered the Master difficulty level.

Why it became a nightmare level remains a mystery to Jiang Chuan.

He carefully put away the SSS-grade awakening stone, chose to leave the secret realm, and his figure gradually disappeared in the white light.

……

The moment he left the secret realm, the scene before him made him pause abruptly.

The underground hall of Dark Star Tower.

The originally neatly arranged array patterns were shattered into pieces.

The walls were covered with spiderweb-like cracks, half of the dome had collapsed, and rubble and broken steel beams were piled up haphazardly on the ground.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, mixed with a somewhat familiar stench of decay.

"They're out!"

Shen Zhiyi's voice was the first to ring out.

She stood beside the pile of rubble, her black casual clothes stained with dust and blood, her long hair disheveled, and her face weary. But the moment she saw Jiang Chuan, the anxiety in her phoenix eyes finally melted away.

Beside her, Qin Tianheng sat cross-legged on the ground, his breath as weak as a candle flame that might be extinguished at any moment.

The Dean of Star Crown Academy, the Seventh Heavenly General of the Federation, looked ashen-faced, like a frail, dying man.

Only when he saw Jiang Chuan did a glimmer of light appear in his cloudy old eyes.

"well……"

Qin Tianheng's voice was so hoarse it was almost inaudible, and a smile that looked more like a grimace stretched across his lips: "I knew you wouldn't die..."

Jiang Chuan rushed to him and used the Eye of Truth to check his condition.

Then I breathed a sigh of relief.

His injury was not serious.

I don't know what caused him to lose his spirit. He was a very energetic old man, but suddenly he seemed to have aged decades.

"What's going on? Have alien races invaded?"

He asked, full of doubt.

Just as Shen Zhiyi was about to speak, a bitter laugh came from the side, and Jiang Chuan then noticed that there was another person standing in the corner.

A bald old man, dressed in a dark blue robe, with a white face and no beard, and a kind smile on his round face, looked just like the Maitreya Buddha enshrined in the temple.

"I am Zhao Chong'an, the Fourth Heavenly General."

The bald old man nodded to Jiang Chuan, a bitter smile on his face: "It was all that old dog Mo Yuan's doing."

"Mo Yuan?"

Jiang Chuan frowned; he had never heard of this name before.

"It's Elder Mo, the gatekeeper." Shen Zhiyi took over the conversation. Mo Yuan had been at Dark Star Academy for longer than she was old, and she had only just learned the truth: "His real name is Mo Yuan. He is of royal blood from the Corpse Dog Clan. Fifty years ago, he was hunted down by the Corpse Dog Clan and fled to the border of the human race. Dean Qin took him in against all odds and allowed him to cultivate diligently at Dark Star Academy for a full fifty years."

She paused, her clenched fists turning white at the knuckles: "Who knew he was such a deeply hidden spy! Today he deliberately exposed himself, first tampering with the Dark Star Tower's formation to lure me away, then tricking you into the Nightmare difficulty of the Shattered Starfall Grounds. Dean Qin sensed something was wrong and came to question him, but after a fight, that beast still managed to escape!"

Qin Tianheng's face trembled, his eyes blazing with fury: "It's all my fault for misjudging people... ugh! I misjudged dogs!... I almost got you killed!"

After understanding the whole story, Jiang Chuan remained silent for two seconds.

as a party.

His emotions, on the contrary, were unusually calm.

He began by offering words of comfort: "To be able to painstakingly infiltrate the enemy camp for decades and still remain true to one's principles, no one could have predicted that he would have such wisdom and perseverance."

"Besides."

"See, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"

Zhao Chong'an also said, "Old Qin, although we've been at odds for so many years, I still have to give you some advice on this matter. Everyone makes mistakes, as long as you can make amends in time, it's not a big deal!"

That's the logic, but he was the one who sowed the seeds of this disaster, and he almost caused Jiang Chuan's death, extinguishing the hope and future of the human race.

This lump.

Qin Tianheng couldn't figure it out for the time being.

He forced himself to his feet, let out a long breath, and said, "You're right. I have to make amends for the mistakes I made myself. I'll go and catch that old dog right now!"

"You should rest."

Jiang Chuan calmly said, "You are the dean. With the academy suffering such an accident, you must stay and take charge. I will personally go and hunt down that old dog."

Qin Tianheng immediately refused: "No, Mo Yuan knows too much about you. He's probably already spread the news through the Corpse Dog Clan's intelligence network within the Federation! If you go after him now, you're very likely to fall into a trap and be besieged by several Corpse Dog Clan kings!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan said, "That's why we need to be quick. Before the message is fully sent out, we need to intercept him on the way. Dean Qin, if I may be frank, even if you encounter him again, are you absolutely certain you can stop him?"

Qin Tianheng's eyes widened instantly, and he roared, "I'll risk my old life to replace him!"

"Then you definitely shouldn't go."

Jiang Chuan shook his head helplessly.

Zhao Chong'an said, "Old Qin, just listen to him on this matter! Even if you can replace Mo Yuan, replacing one of our Federation's top generals with a hidden spy is still a huge loss!"

"It's settled then."

Jiang Chuan didn't give Qin Tianheng, who was already furious, much room for negotiation.

Shen Zhiyi then interjected, "Wait, I'll go with you. My talent is SS-level spatial teleportation; it can help you quickly track down his location!"

Jiang Chuan nodded: "Let's not delay, let's set off now!"
