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

boom!!!

A deafening explosion.

Flames, blood, and mechanical energy clashed, sending the spear flying and crashing into the tomb wall. The aftershocks of the explosion triggered the tomb's defensive mechanisms.

The runes on the wall lit up, and dozens of energy beams shot in from all directions!

"There really was a trap!"

Yan Lie's expression changed, and he swung his molten fire blade to block the beam of light.

Xue Hentian and Jing Feng each faced their own challenges. In the chaos, no one noticed that the spear had landed directly above a spatial beacon. A flash of light, and the spear vanished.

None of the three parties managed to get the first orb of light; instead, it triggered a mechanism.

"Starfall! This is the safe opening you were talking about?"

Xuehentian roared in fury, and a beam of blood-red light slashed towards Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan easily dodged to the side, his tone remaining calm: "I opened the seal, and you triggered the trap yourselves by fighting over them. I suggest you discuss the order in which you distribute the remaining orbs, taking them one by one, otherwise they will all trigger the mechanism."

Yan Lie, Xue Hentian, and Jing Feng exchanged glances, all with apprehension in their eyes.

Each of those energy beams just now possessed the power of a second-tier World Lord's full-force attack. If more mechanisms had been triggered simultaneously, even a third-tier World Lord would have been severely injured.

"In order."

Yan Lie gritted his teeth, "We'll take turns, and whoever gets their turn with the orb can't take it from anyone else. Xingyun, you're in charge of breaking the seal."

Although Xuehentian and Jingfeng were unwilling, they knew that this was the safest way.

The three parties quickly reached an agreement: the fragments would be allocated according to the seven elements: fire, metal, wood, water, earth, space, and lightning. Fire would go to Yan Lie, metal to Jing Feng, wood to Xue Hen Tian, ​​and water back to Yan Lie... The final fragment of the divine kingdom's core would then be contested by the three parties.

Qin Yuan began to open the light spheres one by one.

The second orb of light, a gold-type battle armor, belongs to Gui Jingfeng.

The mechanical general received it steadily, and the six mechanical arms quickly scanned and analyzed it. Three seconds later, it was incorporated into his body, allowing the mechanical race to directly integrate the equipment into their bodies.

The third orb of light, a wood-type staff, is Gui Xuehentian.

He took the staff, sensing the immense life energy within it. A greedy glint flashed in his eyes, for this would greatly benefit his cultivation of bloodline secret techniques.

The fourth orb of light, a water-based gem, belongs to Gui Yanlie...

Each time a sphere of light is opened, Qin Yuan uses the power of the Starlight World to interfere with the surrounding spatial structure at the moment the seal is broken, creating subtle "spatial folds".

These folds do not affect the light sphere itself, but they do affect the perception of the three leaders. Under the cover of these folds, Youli's soul, the detector of Mechanical Vibration, and the spatial beacon that Qin Yuan had planted in advance are silently collecting the resources scattered in the tomb.

Divine power crystals, immortal remains, shattered primal weapons... These scattered items, though not as precious as the treasures inside the light spheres, are numerous and their total value even exceeds that of two or three light spheres.

More importantly, no one noticed the disappearance of these "scraps".

Everyone's attention was focused on the sphere of light and the fragments of the divine kingdom's core.

When Yan Lie took away the tenth orb of light, only two orbs remained in the tomb: one sealed with a lightning whip, and the other... was the core fragment of the divine kingdom in the dome.

The atmosphere became tense again.

"The last orb of light, lightning-based, should belong to Xuehentian in order."

Yan Lie said, "But the core fragments of the Divine Kingdom... are in competition among three parties."

Xue Hentian grinned: "Then let's rely on our own abilities. Xingyun, activate the lightning orb first."

Qin Yuan nodded and walked to the lightning sphere. Inside the sphere, a purple whip was sealed, its surface crackling with electric snakes; it was also at the peak of the fifth rank.

He formed hand seals, preparing to break the seal.

But just as the seal was about to be broken, a sudden change occurred!

Xue Hentian suddenly sprang into action, not rushing towards the lightning sphere, but directly attacking the core fragment of the divine kingdom on the dome!

"Jingfeng, let's team up! We'll split the fragments evenly!"

Jingfeng's mechanical eyes flashed wildly, and almost at the same time as Xuehentian's action, all six mechanical arms transformed into cannons and fired at Yanlie and Qin Yuan.

The energy cannon is not for killing, but for blocking.

At the same time, the six first-tier Blood Wolf warriors at the Realm Lord level brought by Xue Hentian simultaneously burned their essence blood to form the Blood Wolf Battle Formation, transforming into a blood-red giant wolf phantom that was a thousand meters tall, and pounced on the three first-tier Realm Lords brought by Yan Lie.

"You dare!"

Yan Lie roared, unleashing the full power of his fire laws, but was simultaneously suppressed by Jing Feng's artillery fire and the Blood Wolf Battle Formation, leaving him unable to break free for the time being.

Meanwhile, Xue Hentian had already pounced on the core fragment of the divine kingdom, his wolf claws fiercely grabbing at the starlight crystal!

Qin Yuan's eyes turned cold.

He had expected this to happen.

The temporary alliance between the demon race and the mechanical race was too obvious; the previous allocation in order was merely a way to lull Yan Lie into a false sense of security. The real target had always been the core fragments of the divine kingdom.

But Qin Yuan would not let them succeed.

"Three-phase time lag".

Qin Yuan made a fist with his left hand, fully activating the laws of time.

This is not an attack, but a localized time slowdown. Centered on him, the flow of time in a 100-meter diameter area instantly decreases to 0.1 times!

When Xue Hentian's wolf claws were only ten meters away from the crystal, they suddenly slowed down to the speed of a snail.

The trajectory of Jingfeng's artillery fire was clearly visible, like insects frozen in amber. Even the raging flames and the pounce of the Blood Wolf battle formation appeared in slow motion.

A 0.1x time flow rate can only last for less than a second. But for Qin Yuan, that's enough.

He summoned the Star Abyss Spear in his right hand and thrust it towards Xue Hentian's wolf claws.

At the tip of the spear, the power of the three worlds converged: the information lock of starlight, the dimensional penetration of space, and the energy burst of lightning—the three forces perfectly fused together.

puff~

The wolf's body was pierced.

Time flowed back to normal, and Xue Hentian let out a painful howl as he was sent flying backward.

"You...you've been hiding your true strength!"

Xue Hentian was filled with shock and rage. The power of that spear strike just now had definitely reached the peak of the third level of a Realm Lord!

Jingfeng's mechanical eye frantically analyzed: "Data Update: Xingyun's true combat strength is at least at the third level of the Realm Lord, and he has mastered the Law of Time. Danger Level: Extremely High. Recommendation: Prioritize elimination."

All six robotic arms turned toward Qin Yuan simultaneously, and the cannons began to charge.

Yan Lie also broke free from the suppression, his flame laws contracting to protect Qin Yuan's side: "Starfall, let's join forces. The fragments cannot fall into the hands of the demon race!"

The three-way battle instantly turned into a four-way battle.

Youli's Soul Protection Domain unfolded, blocking Jingfeng's volley of shots.

Mechanical Shock released twelve combat puppets, which entangled the Blood Wolf Warrior...

Chaos, utter chaos.

Energy explosions, law collisions, roars, the sound of metal clashing... the entire tomb chamber was like a powder keg that had been detonated.

Qin Yuan's goal has always been clear.

He looked at the core fragment of the divine kingdom on the dome, then at the lightning orb protected behind Xue Hentian and Jing Feng, and finally at Yan Lie.

Qin Yuan suddenly transmitted his voice.

"I'll help you get the core fragment of the Divine Kingdom, but you have to hold off Xue Hentian and Jing Feng for ten seconds."

Qin Yuan quickly replied, "In exchange, I only want that lightning orb."

Yan Lie's eyes flickered.

The value of the core fragment of the Divine Kingdom far exceeds that of the Lightning Orb; he profited from this deal. But... does Starfall really have a way to obtain the fragment amidst the combined attacks of Blood Hatred and Crystal Edge?

Why should I believe you?

Qin Yuan said calmly, "...You have no other choice. You can't get the fragment by yourself."

Yan Lie gritted his teeth: "Fine! Ten seconds!"

An agreement has been reached.

Qin Yuan made a move.

Instead of rushing towards the core fragment of the divine kingdom, he first lunged at Xuehentian.

The Star Abyss Spear transformed into countless spear shadows, each strike containing the speed of time-space starlight and the destructive power of the Three-Phase World. Xue Hentian, still injured, dared not take the blows head-on and could only dodge.

Jingfeng's artillery fire came again, but the space around Qin Yuan's body began to fold and distort.

The "phase shift" of the spatial laws caused most of the artillery fire to slip past him, and the few that did hit were blocked by the starlight shield.

In three seconds, Qin Yuan forced Xue Hentian back and rushed to Jing Feng's side.

"Foolish, you want to fight me in melee?"

Jingfeng's mechanical arm transforms into six alloy battle swords, each blade flowing with high-frequency oscillating energy, capable of tearing through space with each strike.

But Qin Yuan neither dodged nor avoided, and thrust out with his spear.

This shot, seemingly ordinary, had a barely perceptible silver-gray light gathered at its tip, a "lock" of the time law.

The moment the spear was thrust out, it was "destined" to hit the core of Jingfeng.

Jingfeng's computing system issued frantic warnings, but no matter how it dodged or parried, the battle blade always missed by a hair's breadth.

Finally, the spear tip pierced precisely into the gap in its chest armor, unleashing the power of the three-phase world!

Boom~

The mechanical body of the crystal was blasted open with a large hole, and its internal parts were scattered everywhere.

Although they didn't die, their combat strength was greatly reduced.

Six seconds.

Qin Yuan turned to look at the core fragment of the divine kingdom, but did not go to take it directly.

He knew that if he went to take it now, Xue Hentian and Jing Feng would stop him at all costs, and Yan Lie might not be genuinely willing to help him defend himself.

Therefore, he wanted to create a situation where he "had no choice but to take it".
