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

Qin Yuan reached out and took it.

Now he was certain: even if it wasn't a relic left by the Qiongtian Civilization, it was inextricably linked to it. Perhaps, the Qiongtian Civilization had also received its inheritance from this relic...

The amulet feels warm and smooth to the touch.

A cool energy flowed into Qin Yuan's body through his arm, invigorating him. At the same time, he felt his connection with the ruins deepen, and his perception of the surrounding environment became clearer.

"Starlight Amulet: An artifact from an ancient civilization. Effect: Slightly enhances the wearer's affinity for and absorption efficiency of starlight power."

After obtaining the Starlight Amulet, a stream of information in a universal language emerged from the amulet and was learned by Qin Yuan.

During the month-long journey from Earth to Qiulong Star, he didn't spend all his time cultivating; he also took the time to cram in the universal language.

Starlight Amulet, what a great item!

A look of joy flashed in Qin Yuan's eyes.

This talisman is tailor-made for him, as it can accelerate his cultivation! Moreover, in the Dark Star Ruins, the Starlight Talisman might be even more useful, and could even serve as a trump card in a critical moment!

Based on the analysis of various factors, Qin Yuan guessed that this starlight talisman was more like a token, and only valid for martial artists who cultivated the "Star Whirlpool Secret Technique".

He glanced at the crystal structure that had returned to calm, knowing he had already obtained the benefits, then turned and left the hall, his gaze fixed on the deeper parts of the ruins.

Inside the Dark Star Ruins, Qin Yuan, wearing the "Starlight Amulet," sped towards the core of the ruins. During the flight, a cool energy flowed from his chest into his limbs and bones.

Qin Yuan felt that the starlight power surrounding him seemed to have become more active, and its connection with the omnipresent cosmic energy in the void had become closer.

Even more remarkably, his perception and control over his own "Star Ruins Domain" became even more adept, as if the talisman had become an additional amplification node for the domain.

The Starlight Amulet actually has a hidden effect of enhancing a specific area!

"This is truly a great product. It even has additional hidden effects!"

Qin Yuan secretly praised him.

The finds from the inner perimeter of the Dark Star Ruins were so perfectly aligned that he looked forward to the core area even more.

Chapter 116 The Battle for the Core Treasure (4K)

Without lingering, Qin Yuan followed the energy flow perception of [Battle Prediction (Green)] and the mysterious guidance of [Fortune Favor (Green)], continuing his journey deeper into the ruins.

The passage became increasingly winding and downward, the energy in the air became active and chaotic, the remaining light of the restriction flickered uncertainly in the cracks of the walls, and the atmosphere of danger grew stronger.

Along the way, Qin Yuan saw many signs of battle.

Broken weapons, charred craters, and congealed blood and tattered tissue belonging to different races indicate that previous intruders had engaged in a fierce battle here.

Perhaps they entered here before, or perhaps there are other entrances to this site.

The further in you go, the more obvious the signs of battle become.

At a corner, Qin Yuan discovered two recently deceased corpses. One was a human mercenary whose chest had been completely pierced by some kind of sharp weapon; the other was a plant-like humanoid life form that had been torn to pieces by a powerful force, with the residual energy at its wounds still burning hot.

"The battle has reached a fever pitch."

Qin Yuan's eyes were solemn. He became even more careful to conceal his aura and quickly moved through the shadows and ruins of the passage.

The closer you get to the core, the wider the passage becomes.

Finally, he arrived at a huge space, like an underground dome.

The scenery here is breathtaking.

The dome is thousands of meters high and is made up of some kind of transparent energy barrier. Outside the barrier is distorted void and rapidly passing meteorite fragments, as if the entire ruins were built on the edge of spatial turbulence.

Beneath the dome lies an enormous circular plaza, in the center of which floats a rhombus-shaped crystal over ten meters in diameter, constantly emitting a dark purple aura of energy!

The rhombus-shaped crystal emitted a powerful energy fluctuation that made one's heart tremble. At its core, a swirling energy flow, like a nebula, could be vaguely seen. Just sensing it from afar was enough to make one's soul tremble, as if facing the origin of the universe!

"The core of the ruins!"

Qin Yuan's pupils contracted.

Without a doubt, this rhombus-shaped crystal is the most important core control unit or energy source of this Dark Star Ruins.

Its value is immeasurable!

The moment Qin Yuan saw the rhombus-shaped crystal, both the Starry Sky Secret Technique and the newly acquired Starlight Talisman began to take effect within him.

The latter, in particular, reacted most strongly, seemingly yearning for Qin Yuan to approach the rhombus crystal.

However, this is not the best time!

Because in Qin Yuan's line of sight, the circular plaza below had already been turned into a bloody battlefield!

Almost all the forces he had seen at the entrance were gathered here, and there were even other forces he had never seen before, all engaged in a fierce battle around the central diamond-shaped crystal.

Led by their planetary-level eighth-tier leader, Yin Luo, the Silverscale Clan formed a simple battle formation. With each swing of their chainsaw battle axes, streaks of silver primal force swept across the battlefield, making it difficult for other competitors to get close.

The human mercenary squad temporarily allied with two other small humanoid races, barely managing to resist the onslaught of the Silverscale Clan. The dual-wielding leader had several wounds on his body, and his combat uniform was stained with blood.

In the midst of the battlefield, a mentalist shrouded in a black robe floated in mid-air, surrounded by dozens of thin, cicada-wing-like flying blades that moved about eerily like living venomous snakes.

He would strike deadly blows from time to time, and two lone travelers had already fallen to his flying blades.

The rock-like humanoid life form, rooted to the ground like a fortress, allowed the attacks to fall upon it, producing dull thuds as it swung its massive stone fists, each strike powerful and heavy... and there were many more forces.

chaos!

The circular plaza was in utter chaos!

The scene was extremely chaotic, with the roar of energy explosions, the crisp sound of weapons clashing, and the screams of the dying echoing everywhere.

Everyone was blinded by rage, all wanting to be the last one to touch the core.

Qin Yuan did not rashly intervene in the chaotic battlefield. Instead, he lurked behind a huge broken stone pillar at the edge of the square, calmly observing the battlefield.

[Battle Prediction (Green)] The talent is operating at full capacity, analyzing each person's status, energy consumption, and attack habits.

During his observation, Qin Yuan noticed that these people inadvertently revealed their apprehension towards the rhombus-shaped crystal.

Could there be something more to this relic's core?

Qin Yuan remained vigilant, silently focusing his attention on the rhombus-shaped crystal representing the core of the ruins. In his perception, the core of the ruins was not floating unguarded.

Within a hundred meters of it, space seemed to be subtly distorted, and countless fine, still-shimmering runes were engraved on the ground.

Occasionally, if the crystal is affected by the aftermath of a battle or by a reckless person, it will instantly unleash a powerful energy shock or spatial rift, severely injuring or even devouring the person who gets close.

This is why, despite the fierce battle, no one could actually get within the last hundred meters.

"Forcing our way in is the worst possible strategy."

Qin Yuan quickly made a judgment: he had to take advantage of the chaos and that last restricted area.

He was like the most patient hunter, waiting for his chance, his aura lowered to an extremely low level, concealing himself to the greatest extent possible.

Qin Yuan is currently a lone wolf in the universe, without any powerful backing. If he attracts the attention of any major forces, the problem will be enormous. Therefore, he must either not make a move at all, or he must succeed when he does!

Time passed second by second, and the chaotic battle continued to drain the strength of all sides.

Silver Scale Clan leader Yin Luo was the strongest, but he also suffered the most attacks, with many of his scales damaged and his aura no longer at its peak.

The alliance of ordinary human mercenary groups has lost several members, and the leader of the dual-wielding swords is noticeably slowing down.

The mentalist's flying blades were nearly half destroyed, and the rock man's condition wasn't much better; his body was also covered in cracks.

With the battle at a stalemate, Qin Yuan did not choose to intervene at this time.

Just then, something unexpected happened.

The rhomboid crystal seemed to become unstable due to the continuous energy impact from the outside world. The nebulous airflow at its core accelerated its rotation and suddenly burst out with a strong energy pulse.

hum~

A dark purple halo, visible to the naked eye, suddenly spread out from the crystal.

"careful!"

"Go back!"

Exclamations erupted from all sides.

The closest fighters were hit by the aura, their bodies instantly stiffened, their Force dissipated, and they were then torn apart by the chaotic attacks!

Even Yin Luo and the mentalist changed their expressions drastically, each using their own methods to resist or retreat.

After the energy pulse, the protective light around the crystal dimmed noticeably for a moment, seemingly because the burst had consumed too much energy and caused a brief period of exhaustion.

"Now!"

A sharp glint flashed in Qin Yuan's eyes.

This was the opportunity he had been waiting for.

Both the Starry Sky Secret Technique and the Starlight Amulet reacted, with the latter even suspected to be a relic from the ruins. Qin Yuan was 80% certain that he would be safe and sound once he approached the core of the ruins.

An 80% probability is not low!

Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Yuan, his entire body covered in the Black God Armor and concealing himself, instantly increased his speed to the extreme, reaching a full speed of 4000 meters per second, and shot out from behind the stone pillar like an arrow released from a bow.

At the same time, he did not hesitate to use the Star Ruins Domain to suppress everyone around him and channeled the starlight power within his body into the Starlight Amulet.

Qin Yuan had previously discovered that the Starlight Amulet had a hidden effect of enhancing the field of influence!

"Star Ruins Domain, open!"

hum~

As the power of starlight was poured in, the talisman worn on Qin Yuan's chest burst forth with dazzling starlight, and a powerful energy flowed into the "Star Ruins Domain" around him! The domain, which originally could only cover a range of a few hundred meters, instantly expanded to nearly a thousand meters!

The suppression effect of the domain also suddenly increased by nearly 50%, making it comparable to the second level of the domain!

With the domain's boost, Qin Yuan's speed increased dramatically once again.

The Star Ruins Domain, comparable to the second level of the Domain, was like an invisible force field cage, instantly enveloping a large area in front!

Those Silverscale Clan members, human mercenaries, and psychic cultivators who had just weathered the energy pulse and were not yet fully in control felt their bodies suddenly sink as if they were trapped in quagmire, their speed and reaction time plummeting.

The flow of internal primal force or mental energy also became extremely obscure.

"Who goes there?!"

"There are still powerful individuals hidden!"

"Damn it! This feeling... it's a domain! Which powerful family's genius scion is out here training?!"
