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

Chapter 188 Neutron Star, Star God King's Treasure Vault

Deep within the Dark Star Belt, in a region of gravitational disorder.

Qin Yuan stood on a meteorite fragment less than 100 meters in diameter, his body swirling with stellar energy, resisting the terrifying environmental pressure around him.

The gravitational field here is more than ten thousand times stronger than that of standard space. The spatial structure is as fragile as glass, with tiny cracks appearing and disappearing out of thin air from time to time.

Even more terrifying are the ubiquitous high-energy rays, the deadly radiation emitted by neutron stars, capable of carbonizing stellar-level beings in an instant.

But Qin Yuan is no longer the same person he was when he first arrived.

Half a day ago, after he withdrew from the demon race's secret base, he did not immediately return to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

The intelligence has been relayed back, but there are more pressing matters at hand.

The Star God King's treasure trove lies ahead, and this may be his only chance.

"Master, an extreme gravity source has been detected ahead."

Xinghe's voice echoed in Qin Yuan's mind, "According to the map coordinates, that is the target neutron star, designated CX-7. The surface gravity is estimated to be 100,000 times that of Earth. It is recommended to maintain a safe distance."

Qin Yuan looked in the direction indicated by the probe.

In absolute darkness, a celestial body, only twenty kilometers in diameter, silently floats.

It emits no light; only distorted space and occasional bursts of gamma rays reveal its existence.

This is the treasure trove left behind by the Star God King—a lonely neutron star.

"Only those who are not realm lords may enter..."

Qin Yuan recalled the warning on the map, a flicker of interest crossing his eyes.

He originally didn't intend to take the risk, but since he was the inheritor of the Star God King, he might as well give it a try.

Moreover, the "Fortune Favors (Blue)" entry is receiving a lot of feedback.

There might be some danger inside, but it's definitely not serious.

Qin Yuan always believed in the power of entries.

With his mind made up, he took out a starlight jade slip from the Starry Sky Ancient Road Trial from his World Ring. The jade slip automatically activated in the extreme gravity environment, and complex star runes appeared on its surface, resonating faintly with the neutron star in front of him.

"There was indeed a connection."

Qin Yuan was overjoyed.

He infused it with stellar power according to the method recorded in the jade slip.

The jade slip shone brightly, shooting out a silver beam that pointed directly at a specific coordinate on the surface of the neutron star.

Where the beam of light passed, the chaotic gravitational field temporarily stabilized, forming a narrow, safe passage.

"There's hope!"

Qin Yuan used the Starry Sky Steps technique, transforming into a streak of silver light and speeding along the passage.

The gravity along the way constantly changes, soaring from 100,000 times to millions, tens of millions of times... When it gets close to the surface of the neutron star, the gravity has reached a terrifying 100 million times!

Even with the passageway providing protection, Qin Yuan felt as if every inch of his body was screaming in agony.

The fourth-order star core armor groaned under the strain, and fine cracks appeared on its surface.

His bones, as hard as iron, creaked and cracked, as if his internal organs were about to be crushed into a pulp.

But the entry for "Taotie's Stomach (Blue)" showed an incredible effect at this moment.

It frantically devoured the surrounding gravitational energy, transforming it into pure nutrients to strengthen its physical body.

Qin Yuan could feel his cell density rapidly increasing, his muscle fibers rearranging, and his bones being coated with a starlight-like metallic luster.

This is a desperate situation, but also an opportunity!

Three minutes later, Qin Yuan arrived at the surface of the neutron star.

The ground here is not rock or soil, but a "neutron ocean" composed of tightly packed neutrons, with a density of hundreds of millions of tons per cubic centimeter.

Normal matter would be instantly crushed here, but Qin Yuan, protected by the Star God's inheritance, barely managed to stand firm.

The direction indicated by the jade slip was a depression with a diameter of ten meters.

At the center of the recess, there is an intricate star pattern.

"Inheritor, verify your identity."

An old and dignified voice resounded directly in Qin Yuan's mind.

He recognized the voice. It was the voice of the Star God King's phantom from the Starry Sky Ancient Road Trial!

Without hesitation, Qin Yuan channeled all his understanding of the Starlight Laws into the star pattern through the jade slip. At the same time, he activated the Starlight Singularity in his dantian, releasing the purest aura of the Star God lineage.

The verification process lasted a full minute.

Just as Qin Yuan felt he was about to give up, the voice sounded again: "Verification passed. Qin Yuan, inheritor of the Star God, is granted entry into the treasure vault."

The star pattern shone brightly, and the recessed area began to sink.

The neutron matter beneath Qin Yuan's feet parted to the sides like flowing water, revealing a downward spiral channel. Soft light emanated from within the channel, and gravity returned to normal.

Qin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and continued down the passage.

The passage is very long, spiraling down for at least ten kilometers.

The walls along the way were cast from some kind of silver-gray metal, their surfaces engraved with patterns of the movement of stars, each containing profound laws and mysteries. Qin Yuan walked and observed, recording all these patterns for future study.

Finally, at the end of the passage appeared a massive silver gate, three hundred meters high.

There was no keyhole on the door, only a palm-shaped indentation.

Qin Yuan placed his right hand on the ground and instantly felt a vast will sweep over his entire body.

As this force swept over, he also learned some information about the treasure vault.

This is the last safeguard left by the Star God King, confirming that the person entering is indeed the inheritor, and not a puppet that has been possessed or controlled.

Three seconds later, the giant door slid open silently.

The sight behind the door made even the well-informed Qin Yuan gasp in surprise.

It was a spherical space with a diameter of more than five kilometers, as if the interior of the entire neutron star had been hollowed out and transformed.

In the center of space, a miniature star floats.

No, that's not a real star, but a highly compressed stellar energy source that emits light and heat comparable to a star.

Centered on this "miniature star," the entire space is divided into three ring-shaped regions:

The innermost layer is the inheritance area, where nine stele forests formed by the condensation of starlight float, each stele recording a certain aspect of the Star God King's cultivation experience.

The middle layer is the resource area, with hundreds of transparent containers neatly arranged, each containing precious treasures;

The outermost layer is the weapons area, displaying all eighteen kinds of weapons, from swords and spears to strange weapons, each radiating powerful energy fluctuations.

Above the space, a starlight crystal with a diameter of 100 meters is embedded in the dome, and a streamlined silver spaceship is sealed inside the crystal.

That's the Star God Ship, a fifth-tier flying palace-type treasure!

"This is... what the Star God King left behind in the treasury."

Qin Yuan murmured to himself, utterly shocked.

He calmed himself down and began collecting resources according to plan.

First, we arrive at the resource area.

The containers here all have intelligent recognition systems; only those who have inherited the Star God's legacy can open them. Qin Yuan examined them one by one:

The first container contains one hundred drops of "Star God Liquid," each drop containing pure star power comparable to the full energy of a first-tier Domain Lord, which can be directly absorbed without any side effects.

The second container: a complete set of the "Star God Spear Technique" inheritance crystals, from the first to the ninth level, all intact. He had already obtained this inheritance before, and now he had obtained another one.

The third container: the Star God King's cultivation notes, which record all his insights and experiences from the planetary level to the immortal king level, is another collection of his reflections and insights.

The fourth container contains three "Star God Tokens," each of which can summon a projection left behind by the Star God King, which possesses peak World Lord-level combat power.

The fifth container contains various rare materials, including "Star Core Iron," the main material for forging fifth-tier Force weapons; "Star Soul Wood," which nourishes the soul; and "Star Origin Divine Crystal," which enhances comprehension of laws...

Qin Yuan stored all resources in the World Ring, especially the Star God Liquid, which was what he needed most.

Only after doing all this did he arrive at the heritage area.

The contents recorded in the nine steles are vast and numerous, and Qin Yuan could not possibly have remembered them all.

He meticulously recorded the key points of cultivation from the Domain Lord level to the World Lord level, as well as the Star God King's ultimate understanding of the Starlight Law. That had already touched upon the level of "Law Fusion."

Unable to remember them all, Qin Yuan simply stopped trying and threw them all into his world ring, packing them up and taking them with him.

Finally, there's the weapons section.

Qin Yuan's gaze was drawn to a long spear.

The spear was entirely silver-white, with star-like patterns flowing across its shaft, and a single, cold glint at its tip seemed capable of piercing the universe. A plaque beside it read: "Fifth-tier Force weapon, used by the Star God King in his youth, later reforged and upgraded."

This is something similar to the Star Abyss Spear in his hand, and its grade has been upgraded from fourth to fifth!

Qin Yuan took the spear; it was heavy, but surprisingly easy to handle.

The gun resonated with a familiar warmth, as if it were seeing its long-lost owner.

He tried to infuse it with star power, and the tip of the spear immediately burst forth with dazzling starlight, its power being more than ten times stronger than his previous fourth-tier Star Abyss Spear.

"Great gun!"

Qin Yuan exclaimed in admiration. With this spear, his combat strength would increase by at least 70%.

He planned to name this fifth-tier Force weapon 'Star Abyss Spear' because he was familiar with it.

After collecting all the necessary resources, Qin Yuan looked at the Starship in the dome.

This is the most valuable treasure in the vault. A fifth-tier flying palace, its defensive capabilities are sufficient to withstand a single attack from an ordinary Immortal Army Lord, and its speed can reach hundreds of times the speed of light!

Take them away! Take them away!

Although the Starship requires a World Lord level to fully control, taking it now would be pointless; however, it's wise to secure it for ourselves.

"Perhaps I could try seclusion here?"
