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

Yan Feng turned to Qin Yuan: "Qin, intelligence says there's an 'Aurora Barrier' at the entrance, and only light-element cultivators can pass through safely. What do you think?"

Qin Yuan had already activated the [Battle Genius (Blue)] entry, and with the help of the Star Mark Eye's long-distance scanning mode, he was analyzing the energy structure of the star's corona.

Three seconds later, he spoke: "It's not a simple barrier, it's a 'light film resonance layer.' Look at the center point of the corona spiral."

He raised his hand and gestured, magnifying the data captured by the Star Mark Eye on the screen.

Amid the violent coronal mass ejection, a relatively calm region about 100 kilometers in diameter emerges, containing seven nearly transparent light films nested within each other. Each film vibrates at a different frequency, repelling the incoming high-temperature plasma.

"The seven optical films correspond to the seven fundamental properties of the laws of light: refraction, reflection, scattering, interference, diffraction, polarization, and absorption."

Qin Yuan spoke calmly, "If a non-light-element cultivator forcibly enters, it will trigger a resonant counterattack of the seven layers of light membranes, instantly subjecting them to seven different light-element attacks. Those below the ninth level of the Domain Lord rank will most likely be directly vaporized."

The bridge was completely silent.

Qinghe asked softly, "Can you crack it?"

"Yes, but it will take time."

Qin Yuan naturally wouldn't say that he could simply ignore it. He walked steadily toward the control panel and brought up more detailed data.

“The vibration frequency of the seven-layer optical film is constantly changing, but there is a pattern: it completes a full cycle every 300 seconds. At the 37th, 145th and 288th seconds of the cycle, there will be a ‘resonance trough’, during which the defensive strength of the seven-layer optical film will decrease by about 60% at the same time. We need to break through at that point.”

Yan Feng immediately ordered: "Calculate the next downturn!"

"Two minutes and fourteen seconds later, the trough period began at the thirty-seventh second."

Qinghe responded quickly.

"Everyone, prepare for the assault!"

Yan Feng's voice echoed throughout the ship, "Qin, lead the way; Yan Shan, follow closely to protect you; Qing He, in the middle; Ying Qiang and I, bringing up the rear. Set the ship to autopilot and park in the safe orbit. Remember, we have a maximum of five minutes from leaving the ship to entering the world's entrance. If we exceed that time limit, the corona's intense heat will bake us alive!"

An alarm sounded, and Starfire began to decelerate, eventually hovering in orbit 500,000 kilometers above the star's surface. The hatch opened, and five figures shot out like streaks of light.

The feeling of facing a star directly is completely different from viewing it from inside a spaceship.

Even through the armor, the terrifying heat radiation still hit the body as if it were real.

My vision was completely filled with orange-red light, and in my ears was the low-frequency roar of the stars' magnetic field activity, a cosmic sound powerful enough to shatter planets.

The cosmic energy in the surrounding space was violent and chaotic, making it difficult for ordinary domain lords to even maintain flight.

"Stay close to me."

Qin Yuan's voice rang in the ears of the four people through the transmission of the Force.

He flew at the forefront, his shadow cloak automatically transforming into a pure white light-based mode under the intense heat, its surface flowing with iridescent patterns. Facing the oncoming torrent of coronal mass, Qin Yuan formed hand seals. These seals were not based on the laws of starlight, but rather on the pure secret technique of the Seven Realms of Aurora.

First layer: Refraction of light!

Centered on him, the light in a radius of 100 meters began to distort, as if an invisible prism had been placed in the void.

As the raging coronal mass flowed through this area, it was cleverly deflected and diverted, gliding past the five people. The temperature plummeted by 30%.

"Great!"

Yanshan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"We haven't reached the core area yet."

Qin Yuan's expression was focused, and the [Battle Genius (Blue)] entry was operating at full capacity, calculating the real-time changes in the vibration frequency of the light membrane. "Forty-seven seconds until the trough, accelerate!"

Like five shooting stars, the five people tore through the scorching ocean of plasma and sped toward the center of the corona spiral.

The closer to the center, the stronger the presence of the light film.

Under the starlight, the seven transparent barriers occasionally shimmered with rainbow-like halos, beautiful yet deadly. Qin Yuan could clearly sense the power of the laws contained within each layer of light membrane; if they were to erupt all at once, they would be enough to severely injure a first-level World Lord.

Thirty seconds!

Qinghe reminds you.

Qin Yuan suddenly stopped, hovering only a kilometer away from the outermost layer of the light membrane.

At this distance, the ancient runes flowing on the surface of the light membrane are already visible. They are variants of the Light Pupil Clan's script, recording the Aurora Realm Lord's understanding of the laws of light.

"The next step is crucial."

Qin Yuan said in a deep voice, "I will open the passage within three seconds, but the passage can only be maintained for five seconds. You must pass through in one go, without any hesitation."

Yan Feng nodded: "Everyone, get ready!"

Qin Yuan took a deep breath and slowly raised his hands. This time, he used a deeper level of power, the "Origin Light Pattern" he had comprehended from the Light Pupil Clan's inheritance.

A pure white light shone from my fingertips. The light was not dazzling, but it seemed to contain the essence of light, pure to the extreme.

He sketched seven complex light runes in mid-air, each rune corresponding to the core frequency of a layer of light membrane.

The moment the rune took shape, the seven layers of light membrane in front of it trembled simultaneously, and their vibration frequencies began to synchronize, finally reaching their lowest point at the thirty-seventh second.

"open!"

At the center of the seven layers of light film, a circular channel with a diameter of three meters suddenly opened!

Inside the passage is a stable spatial structure, and one can vaguely see a different scene on the other side: no longer the surface of a blazing star, but a tranquil kingdom of light.

"Go!" Yan Feng shouted in a low voice.

The five people transformed into five streams of light and shot into the passage in turn.

Qin Yuan was the last to enter. The instant he passed through the passage, he flicked his wrist backward, shattering the seven light runes and closing the passage. The entire process took exactly five seconds.

Behind me lies a stellar hell of millions of degrees Celsius, and before me lies another world.

The five people hovered in mid-air, cautiously observing their surroundings.

This is a spherical space with a diameter of approximately one million kilometers.

For a World Lord-level inner world, this size is considered above average, indicating that the Aurora World Lord's strength during his lifetime was at least at the high-level World Lord level.

The sky above the world has no sun, moon, or stars; only a layer of soft white light falls evenly.

The earth was composed of some kind of translucent crystal, its surface smooth as a mirror, reflecting the light of the sky; in the distance, there were continuous crystalline mountain ranges, with flowing liquid light faintly visible within their bodies; further still, seven pillars of light, reaching to the heavens and earth, were arranged according to the orientation of the Big Dipper...

The whole world was unusually quiet; there was no sound of wind, no sound of water, and even the sound of energy flowing was barely audible.

But this quietness is unsettling.

"This is... the inner world of the Realm Lord! And this is after countless years since his fall!"

Chapter 193 Squad Exploration

Yan Shan murmured, his feet sinking into the crystal ground, which produced a crisp echo.

“My grandfather said that a World Lord-level expert can create a real world within his body. As long as the world exists, the World Lord will never die. I never thought I would actually be able to come in and see it in my lifetime.”

Qinghe crouched down, took out a probe, and inserted it into the ground.

A few seconds later, the data was transmitted back.

"The ground crystals are by-products of 'light-condensed crystals,' with a hardness of C9, making them the main material for crafting third-tier Force weapons. The concentration of light energy in this world is more than seven hundred times that of the outside world. Cultivating here for a long time will increase the speed of comprehending the laws of light by at least five times."

Shadow Gun had already set up his sniper-type energy gun, scanning the distance through the scope: "No signs of life detected, but multiple energy gathering points were detected. There are strong fluctuations of laws near those pillars of light."

Yan Feng looked at Qin Yuan: "Qin, what do you think?"

Qin Yuan did not answer immediately. He closed his eyes and began to use his senses.

With the blessing of near-perfect mastery of the laws of starlight, his understanding of "light" far surpasses that of ordinary people.

The light in this world is not merely energy and a tool for illumination, but also a carrier of information. Every ray of light records the history of this world, the operation of its laws, and even the remnants of the will of the world's former ruler.

Three seconds later, he opened his eyes: "This world is divided into seven layers, and we are currently in the outermost layer, the 'Plains of Light.' Those seven pillars of light are portals to the inner layers. Each layer we pass through should bring a corresponding trial or reward. As for danger..."

He pointed to a seemingly flat crystalline plain three kilometers to his left: "There are twelve energy sources awakening there; they should be the world's first layer of guardians. Prepare for battle."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground he was pointing to suddenly cracked!

Twelve dazzling rays of light shot up from the ground and coalesced in the air.

There were twelve humanoid puppets, each about five meters tall, cast entirely from pale golden "light-condensed gold." Their joints were inlaid with shimmering crystals, and a fist-sized ball of light slowly rotated at the core of their chests.

The puppet had no facial features, and its head only had a smooth curved surface, but the aura it emitted was astonishingly at the sixth level of the Domain Lord!

"Twelve sixth-tier Domain Lord puppets!"

Yanshan instantly raised his giant shield. "Captain, should we fight head-on or flank?"

"No refunds!"

Yan Feng's crimson eyes burned with fighting spirit. "This is only the first level. If we can't even get past this, we'll have no chance in the later trials! According to the plan, Yan Shan will be in charge of defense, Ying Qiang will provide long-range interference, Qing He will prepare to control the potion, and Qin... you'll be in charge of cracking the core. I'll be the main attacker!"

Before the words were even finished, all twelve puppets moved at the same time.

They made no sound, yet moved with lightning speed.

Six of them formed three-meter-long spears of light from their hands, while the other six opened their palms, and the light spheres in their palms began to accumulate energy—high-compression light-based energy cannons!

"Earth Barrier!"

With a roar, Yan Shan slammed his giant shield into the ground. Earthy-yellow energy surged from the shield, forming a ten-meter-thick energy barrier five hundred meters ahead. Almost simultaneously, six beams of light and six beams of light cannons hurtled towards them!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Amidst the deafening explosion, the energy shield trembled violently, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on its surface.

Yanshan groaned, but the protective wall ultimately did not break.

"How dare you! Watch me!"

Shadow Gun snorted coldly and fired his sniper rifle in quick succession. Six specially made "armor-piercing bullets" traced eerie arcs, bypassing the protective wall and striking the joints of the six spear-wielding puppets.

However, the hardness of the light-condensed gold on the puppet's surface was beyond imagination; the bullets only left shallow white marks on it.

"The physical defense of the Light Condensed Gold is close to that of a fourth-tier Force Armor, and conventional attacks are ineffective."

Qinghe quickly analyzed the situation and took out a vial of purple medicine from her waist: "Try this, 'Corrosive Acid Mist'!"

She hurled the potion bottle precisely into the center of the puppet group, where it exploded and released a dense purple mist.

When the mist came into contact with the puppet's surface, it immediately emitted a "sizzling" corrosive sound, and tiny pits began to appear on the surface of the light-condensed gold.

It works, but it's too slow!

"Get out of the way!"
