Swallowing the Stars: I'll Destroy the Universe with My Talent Attributes

Qin Yuan took out the fragments, and they automatically merged into a complete star map.

In the center of the star map, a relatively clear coordinate is marked, located in a region deep within the dark star belt. There is a marker there, with a line of smaller text next to it:

"The Star God's Treasury is hidden within a neutron star. Only a Realm Lord may enter..."

Neutron star!

Qin Yuan's pupils contracted.

That is one of the most extreme celestial bodies in the universe, with a density of hundreds of millions of tons per cubic centimeter, and a surface gravity that is billions of times that of Earth, so that even light cannot escape.

Building a treasure trove inside a neutron star—that's an incredible feat!

"No wonder map fragments are needed for location..."

Qin Yuan smiled wryly. Without precise coordinates, finding a specific neutron star in the dark star belt was like finding a needle in a haystack.

Moreover, the warning that "only the Lord of the Realm may enter" made him wary.

With his current strength, entering a neutron star would be extremely dangerous.

After all, he only met the combat strength standard, but he didn't have the standard world power of a world lord.

"It seems there's no hope in the short term."

Qin Yuan put away the star map. "At least I know the target now. I'll come back for the treasure once I break through to the World Lord level."

The question now is, where to go next?

Return to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire?

The threat from the demon race over there has not yet been eliminated.

"Then let's go to the Dark Star Belt first... take on a Dark Star Belt mission at the Virtual Universe Company, familiarize ourselves with the environment, and prepare for future treasure hunting."

Qin Yuan made up his mind and pulled up the star map of the Dark Star Belt.

The Dark Star Belt, located at the intersection of the three realms of the Ancient Wheel Universe Kingdom, the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, and the Noah Universe Kingdom, is an absolutely dangerous area composed of the remnants of dead stars, black holes, neutron stars, and spatial turbulence.

There are no life-bearing planets here, no civilizations, only the most extreme cosmic environments and... all sorts of shady forces.

Qin Yuan logged into his account at the Virtual Universe Company and accepted a mission from among countless tasks to eliminate a secret base of a certain demon race in the Dark Star Belt.

The secret base established by the demon race in the Dark Star Belt is located in the orbit of one of the "black dwarf stars".

Black dwarfs are one of the final stages of stellar evolution. They are small in size, low in temperature, but extremely dense, making them ideal locations for hiding bases.

"It's about 150,000 light-years away from here. If we were to jump continuously, it would take about ten days."

Qin Yuan planned the route, "We'll be passing through three turbulent spatial regions and an asteroid belt, so we need to be careful."

He returned to the rogue planet where he had temporarily taken refuge, and piloted the Starmark towards the Dark Belt.

The ten-day flight was tedious and dangerous.

They encountered three space storms, two meteor showers, and were once tracked by a small fleet of unknown forces.

On the eleventh day, the edge of the Dark Star Belt came into view.

It was absolute darkness.

It's not that there's no light, but that all the light has been swallowed up by those dead celestial bodies.

Only the occasional gamma-ray burst streaking across the void, or the ripples of gravitational waves generated by the collision of two black holes, prove that this region is still under the laws of the universe.

The Starscar probe issued an alert: "An abnormal gravitational field has been detected ahead, and its intensity is continuously increasing. We recommend slowing down."

Qin Yuan reduced his speed to 0.01 times the speed of light and carefully entered the Dark Star Belt.

According to the star map, the black dwarf star he was looking for was located deep within the third ring of the dark star belt.

There, gravity is disordered and space is distorted, making even teleportation impossible; one can only fly there slowly.

Qin Yuan parked the Starmark on the far side of a relatively safe asteroid, and then dived in alone.

In such an extreme environment, large targets are too conspicuous, making individual actions more covert.

Clad in armor, he activated his invisibility ability, transforming into an almost invisible shadow as he moved through the shadows of the deadly celestial body.

The environment in the Dark Star Belt is extremely harsh.

The temperature is extremely low, the gravitational field is constantly changing, spatial cracks are everywhere, and there are various high-energy rays and particle streams.

If it weren't for the strength of a domain lord and powerful equipment, an ordinary person wouldn't survive more than three seconds here.

Qin Yuan flew for a whole day and finally approached the target area.

In the void ahead, a black dwarf star, only one-third the diameter of the moon but with a mass comparable to the sun, floats silently. Its surface is pitch black, emitting no light, like a black hole that devours everything.

In the synchronous orbit of the black dwarf, a massive metallic structure floats. It's a ring-shaped space station about five kilometers in diameter, its surface covered with a camouflage coating, blending seamlessly into the background. If Qin Yuan's probes hadn't specifically scanned this location, it would have been completely undetectable.

"Found it, the demon race's secret base."

A cold glint flashed in Qin Yuan's eyes.

He found a hidden meteorite fragment, lay in wait, and began to observe.

The base's defenses were formidable: an outer layer of energy shields, a middle layer of automated turrets, and an inner layer patrolled by demon soldiers. Judging from the energy fluctuations, at least five domain lord-level powerhouses were stationed inside the base, one of whom possessed an aura reaching the sixth rank of the domain lord level.

"Forced entry is definitely not an option."

Qin Yuan analyzed the situation calmly.

It would be best to pack up the treasures in the stronghold first.

If Qin Yuan launches a strong attack and the people inside the stronghold destroy the resources and treasures within, it will be a huge loss.

He observed for another three hours, figuring out the base's operational patterns: shifts changed every hour, with a thirty-second defensive gap between shifts; the energy shield would shut down for one minute every two hours for maintenance...

"The opportunity has arrived."

Qin Yuan has located a transport ship that is about to arrive.

It was a converted civilian cargo ship, painted with the logo of a trading company, but Qin Yuan's intuition told him that it was a disguised demon race transport ship.

He quietly approached, and just as the transport ship was about to enter the base's shield range, he used spatial folding to "stick" himself to the bottom of the ship.

The transport ship passed the shield inspection smoothly and slowly entered the base's unloading area.

Qin Yuan clung to the bottom of the boat like a gecko, remaining motionless.

He quietly slipped away and disappeared into the shadows only after the cargo ship came to a stop and the crew began unloading.

The base appears larger inside than from the outside.

This is a multi-layered space station, divided into living quarters, training quarters, research quarters, and the core command area.

Qin Yuan's goal is to destroy this base.

But more importantly, he needed to obtain intelligence on the demon race and their base resources; detailed information about their invasion plan would be even better.

He first infiltrated the research area.

This place contained a large amount of experimental equipment, as well as some imprisoned human prisoners undergoing various modification experiments. Qin Yuan suppressed his anger, then found the resource warehouse, looted all the resources, and then the database.

The database is heavily guarded.

There are two third-tier domain lord-level demons and an intelligent defense system.

Qin Yuan did not choose to force his way in, but instead used a treasure he obtained from the Light Pupil Clan's cemetery.

Thousand-light needle.

Nine hundred and ninety-nine light needles shot out silently, perfectly avoiding all detection thanks to the Illusion-Breaking Stone. The needles pierced through the guards' protective Force, striking vital points and instantly subduing them, without even triggering an alarm.

Qin Yuan accessed the database and copied all the data from the storage device.

When he looked at the data, he was shocked.

The demon race plans to launch a large-scale invasion of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, the Noah Universe Kingdom, and the Ancient Wheel Universe Kingdom simultaneously in a few years!

This base in the Dark Star Belt was one of the assembly points and supply depots for the invading forces!

"We must send the intelligence out as soon as possible."

Qin Yuan realized the seriousness of the situation.

After copying the data, he was about to leave when he suddenly sensed a powerful aura approaching.

It's that sixth-tier Domain Lord level demon clan expert!

"Have we been discovered?"

Qin Yuan immediately concealed his presence and prepared for battle.

But the other party's target didn't seem to be him; instead, they hurriedly headed towards the command area.

"Everyone assemble! There's an emergency!"

A sixth-tier demon lord-level expert issued an order via broadcast,

We've spotted a Terran scouting fleet approaching the Dark Belt! Prepare to engage!

Qin Yuan's heart skipped a beat: A human reconnaissance fleet? Who sent it?

Regardless, this is an opportunity.

With the base's attention drawn outside, he could take the opportunity to cause trouble.

Qin Yuan took out several "space bombs" seized from the Shadow Blade organization from his world ring. These bombs would not cause physical damage upon detonation, but they would trigger large-scale spatial disturbances, making it impossible for this area to undergo spatial jumps for a short period of time.

He placed the bombs near the base's energy core, shield generator, and communications hub.

Then, he quietly left the base and returned to the meteorite fragment where he was hiding.

As the demon race's fleet took off to intercept the human race's reconnaissance fleet, Qin Yuan pressed the detonation button.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A silent explosion occurred inside the base.

Space rippled violently like water, the energy core overloaded and exploded, the shield generators malfunctioned, and the communication systems were disrupted. The entire base descended into chaos.

Qin Yuan did not linger; he transformed into a streak of starlight and retreated at full speed.

mission completed.

Next, he needs to send the intelligence he has gathered back to the Human Empire as soon as possible, which may be able to thwart or thwart the Demon Race's large-scale invasion plan.
