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

Accustomed to flying through the air, Qin Yuan felt a strange sense of security when he suddenly stepped onto the ground.

Holding the Jinghong Spear, Qin Yuan surveyed the island's surroundings.

At first glance, twisted and bizarre vegetation is everywhere. The trees are at least a hundred meters tall, with branches that twist and turn, and leaves that are haphazardly gnarled and twisted, just like the soil on the ground. The bark of the twisted trees in sight is also dark black.

Because the entire lake was shrouded in an unknown thick fog, visibility on the lake islands was not great. Even with his extraordinary eyesight at the first level of the planetary realm, he could only see for one kilometer before everything became blurry.

The island's ecosystem seems to have never been set foot on by outsiders; there is no trace of human martial artists, or even monsters.

Something unusual must be going on. It's one thing for human warriors not to come, but it's quite another for no monsters to enter the island on the Australian continent, where beast-general level monsters roam everywhere.

There can only be one reason: the island is the territory of mutated plants.

Since the Great Nirvana Era, Earth has been mostly a battleground between human warriors and monsters, with mutated plants having a very low profile. However, the situation is fundamentally different on the Australian continent.

The plants here are alive; to use a term from traditional Chinese novels, they've become "spirits".

Qin Yuan twirled the Jinghong Spear in his hand, and an aura of destruction emanated from his body.

As the aura of destruction appeared, the hundred-meter-tall mutated tree plants blocking Qin Yuan's way seemed to sense that the human in front of him was not to be trifled with, and they all retracted their haphazardly twisted branches, making way for Qin Yuan to create a path ten meters wide.

Those who know the current affairs are handsome.

Compared to monsters at the Beast General level that possess intelligence comparable to humans, it is much more difficult for plants to develop intelligence, and they are also more pragmatic.

The mutated plants were quite cooperative, and Qin Yuan had no intention of cleaning them up. Carrying the Jinghong Spear, he slowly walked along the path cleared by the plants towards the inner side of the island.

After traveling only two or three kilometers, Qin Yuan discovered that the further in he went, the stronger the aura of the mutated plants became. In layman's terms, the mutated plants on the outer side were at the level of a general, while those on the inner side were at the level of a god of war.

A mere hint of imposing aura was not enough to make these war god-level mutated plants give them face.

The road, which was originally ten meters wide, has been reduced to three meters wide.

Just as human martial artists can suffer from brain damage, the same applies to mutated plants that have developed intelligence.

Swoosh~ Swoosh~ Swoosh

A hundred meters ahead, behind a boulder covered in dark green vines, dozens of vines, each about 0.5 meters in diameter, suddenly extended out.

The vines pierced the air, creating a series of sharp, piercing sounds, as they launched a sneak attack on Qin Yuan, who was leisurely strolling along the path.

Faced with dozens of vines that suddenly attacked at a speed no less than that of a high-level war god, Qin Yuan remained calm. He activated his auxiliary computer, performed a few simple operations, and then shone the light of the auxiliary computer on the vines. A message appeared on the auxiliary computer's screen:

Name: Poisonous Thorn Vine

Strength: Apprentice Level 8

......

Chapter 96 Treasure Hunt in Progress

The eighth level of apprenticeship is equivalent to the realm of an intermediate war god, but it possesses an attack speed comparable to that of an advanced war god warrior.

This poisonous vine, even in the plant world, is a 'genius' of sorts, but Qin Yuan would call it 'the strongest' because it's so stubbornly determined to die.

"court death!"

Qin Yuan didn't even raise his head to face the attack from the poisonous vines, which were only at the intermediate level of the War God realm. He didn't even pause his forward pace. He simply raised his Jinghong Spear and lightly slashed at the attack in front of him.

This strike didn't employ any fancy spear techniques; it only involved the basic strength of a planetary-level first-tier 2.3 million kg. Qin Yuan's spear swing itself wasn't particularly frightening, but with the permanent tenfold attack amplification from [Spear Master (Green)], the force increased from 2.3 million kg to 23 million kg.

That's terrifying!

Boom~

An indescribable and terrifying power erupted from the Jinghong Spear, compressing and exploding the air in front of it, forming a visible crescent-shaped transparent air shockwave that swept towards the oncoming vines like a deadly scythe in the hand of the Grim Reaper.

Puff~ Puff~ Puff

Possessing the speed of a high-level war god, the dozens of vines that shot forth were easily crushed like eggs hitting a rock the moment they came into contact with the crescent-shaped transparent air shockwave.

With a series of ear-piercing cracking and snapping sounds, dozens of vines of the poisonous thorn vine broke and disintegrated, turning into a sky full of dark green fragments and sap.

With an unknown shriek, the crescent-shaped transparent air shockwave, still undiminished, hurtled straight toward the vines behind the boulder a hundred meters away.

snort~

The large rock blocking the way was cut open, and the vines hiding behind it were also destroyed.

That wasn't the end of it. After crushing the poisonous vines, the crescent-shaped transparent air shockwave continued to move forward.

There are broken stones and broken trees.

Along the way, the mutated plants that reacted quickly managed to survive after losing some branches, while the unfortunate ones that reacted slowly have already returned to nature.

The adage "people thrive when they move, trees die when they move" does not apply to mutant plants.

Looking at the path he had casually opened up with a move, Qin Yuan nodded in satisfaction, put away his spear, and stood with a calm and composed demeanor.

For a planetary-level gene warrior, dealing with some mutated plants that are only at the God of War level is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

The air was filled with the scent of plant sap, which gave an idea of ​​the extent of the damage caused by Qin Yuan's casual strike.

After a brief trial, no more mutated plants dared to challenge him. Qin Yuan followed the path he had carved out, strewn with broken branches and leaves, guided by some unseen force, until he arrived at a place where two stones met.

Here grows a small grass, only half a foot tall, its entire body a crystal-clear pale blue, its leaves radiating speckles of starlight.

Near the grass, even the roots of the mutated plants didn't extend over, as if there were territories divided here.

Qin Yuan looked at the sky shrouded in milky white fog, then at the familiar grass in front of him that shimmered with starlight, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.

Having perused some of the historical books of the Qiongtian Civilization within the No. 9 Civilization Ruins, Qin Yuan was no novice when it came to the universe.

At least the grass in front of me looks a lot like the 'Starlight Grass' recorded by the Qiongtian Civilization. It is said that Starlight Grass usually grows in places where stars shine, but this island is covered by thick fog, so where is the starlight coming from?

Qin Yuan wasn't sure, but he had an auxiliary optical computer.

The auxiliary optical computer is a highly sought-after tool among planetary elites in the universe. It has many functions, including communication and checking the strength of opponents, and of course, it can also identify some common things.

Name: Starlight Grass

"Function: A plant spirit commonly found in the universe that can enhance the genetic force strength of planetary-level warriors."

...

It really is Starshine Grass!

Qin Yuan was already 80% certain, and after the auxiliary computer confirmed it, all his doubts disappeared.

'It seems this Starshine Grass is the unseen guide for the [Fortune Favors (Green)] entry.'

Qin Yuan looked at the Starlight Grass swaying between the two rocks and thought to himself.

He bent down, released his genetic force to form a force shield, wrapped the Starshine Grass, picked it off, and put it into a special backpack.

This feeling of finding treasure is truly wonderful.

Finding a Starshine Grass that's even useful for planetary-level gene warriors for free is simply amazing.

Leaving the island covered with mutated plants, Qin Yuan continued to wander aimlessly in the lake.

To say it was aimless wouldn't be accurate.

Qin Yuan had been waiting for the special feeling that the "Fortune Favors (Green)" entry would give him, but there was no response for several hours.

Perhaps the only good thing about this lake is the star-shine grass.

Just as Qin Yuan had explored most of the lake and was about to leave, that familiar feeling returned.

Qin Yuan sensed the presence of a treasure.

The entry for "Favored by Luck (Green)" is powerful enough. Qin Yuan didn't really expect to gain anything else from this lake, but the treasures were just plentiful!

swoosh~

Upon learning that there was still treasure, Qin Yuan did not delay. He immediately took off, flying through the air at a speed of a thousand meters per step, heading straight towards the southeast of the lake.

In less than a minute, after traversing most of the lake, Qin Yuan arrived at a smaller island.

Towering trees stand along the edge of the island.

Unlike the island where Starshine Grass was previously discovered, this island doesn't have as many mutated plants, but it has many more swamps.

The seemingly lush green soil actually contains damp, soft silt underneath.

The air was filled with a rotten, sour smell, which reminded Qin Yuan of the biogas digester deep in his memory.

Fortunately, this is just a swamp, not a cesspool.

Although they are essentially similar, the swamp does not separate people.

Inside the island, swamps stretched out one after another, with occasional shrubs growing on the enclaves.

Qin Yuan walked on air, looking down at the swampy terrain below.

On the ground, besides grass, there were large patches of strangely colored ferns, their shapes twisted, like disheveled, menacing ghosts in horror movies.

Some fern leaves still have a sticky sap dripping down them, and bubbles occasionally rise up near these plants. When the bubbles reach the air, they burst open and release puffs of yellow smoke.

These bubbles are definitely poisonous!

Qin Yuan was mistaken. The swamp in front of him was not even as good as the biogas digester and latrine back home, at least the latrine was not highly toxic.

Standing silently in the air, Qin Yuan sensed the life force around him and any potential enemies.

The "Combat Prediction (Green)" attribute has a slight effect, but its strength is basically negligible.

【Battle Prediction (Green)】 is an upgrade from the 【Beast Intuition (White)】 attribute. The former possesses all the functions of the latter, but is more powerful and comprehensive.

With no immediate threat detected, Qin Yuan continued walking through the air toward the center of the island.

The clue given by the entry for 【Favored by Fortune (Green)】 lies in the center of the island.

After advancing five or six kilometers, Qin Yuan found himself in an even larger swamp.

As Qin Yuan stepped onto the airspace above this vast swamp, he noticed that the intensity of the [Combat Prediction (Green)] attribute was increasing by 90 degrees.

There's a big catch in the swamp ahead!
