Comprehensive Network: Starting with Martial Artists to Stack Passive Skills

Chapter 123 Cradle of Stars and Void Beasts

[Should we use the Feast as a benchmark for our potential breakthroughs?]

Yes!

[Anchoring capability detected: Feast (Breaking Bottleneck Limits)]

[Trial instance generating —]

[Instance Name: Cradle of Stars]

[Instance Background: An ancient Void Beast race would send its most promising offspring to a vast [Cradle Starfield] for nurturing. Each [Cradle Planet] in this starfield is a specially cultivated ecological incubator, tens or even hundreds of thousands of times larger than a standard planet, containing abundant energy to nourish the growth of the Void Beast offspring and hostile targets to hone their skills.]

Trial Objective:

Enter the designated [Cradle Planet], survive and hunt, assist in observing the growth of the giant beast cubs on the planet, and complete the second limit-breaking feast.

[WARNING: This planet has an extreme environment; gravity, energy concentration, and biomass are far beyond conventional understanding. Initial arrival may result in severe discomfort.]

[Teleportation countdown: 3, 2, 1 —]

"Cradle Planet? Starry Sky Beast Cub—" Lu Qingfeng analyzed these words carefully. "Looks like this is going to be a big deal. Perfect, I'll gather all the necessary nutrients for evolution here!"

The countdown has reached zero.

The familiar feeling of being hit by a heavy truck and the unfamiliar sensation of being transported by a gentle breeze did not come; instead, I felt like I was being run over by a heavy truck and traversing the world!

"Crossnet, come out! Is this the intense discomfort you mentioned upon your first arrival?!"

There was no answer, nor could there be. Lu Qingfeng's consciousness drifted in the boundless chaos and fragments of starlight, eventually fading into a heavy darkness.

I don't know how much time passed.

An indescribable sense of heaviness roused Lu Qingfeng from his deep coma, as if the weight of the entire world was pressing down on him alone.

[You have arrived in the instance: Cradle of Stars - Seventh Nurturing Planet]

[Environmental adaptation in progress — Ultra-high gravity environment detected (approximately 3000 times that of a standard planet), high concentration of void energy radiation, excessively high basic biological energy level —]

The [Feast] ability resonates strongly—the sensation of "hunger" is temporarily masked by the surge of environmental energy.

[Main Quest Released: The Prologue to the Starry Feast]

Mission objective: Survive on this planet for at least 30 calendar days (planetary time).

During this period, at least one successful and effective absorption of [a planetary native high-energy life form] or [a specific cultivation unit] must be carried out.

[Task Rewards: Based on survival rating and devouring quality, significantly advance the [Feast] limit-breaking progress and obtain a special reward [Void Behemoth Bloodline Template (Web Adaptation)]]

[Special Note: This invitation was issued by the deceased ancient observer [Xingming] of the Void Behemoth Clan. As a member of the Void Clan, you have already earned his approval. Completing the trial mission is considered passing the observer [Xingming]'s test.]

"Starry Sky? Observer? Test?"

While lying on the ground to adapt to the planet's gravity, Lu Qingfeng digested the information he had gained, including the Void Clan. When did he become a member of the Void Clan?

That's really strange.

Just as he was pondering this, a huge shadow slowly enveloped him.

"Thump—thump—"

The heavy footsteps made the ground tremble slightly.

Lu Qingfeng did a somersault, rewarding himself by turning over and looking at the newcomer in a lying-down position. Since he didn't sense any threat, he just lay there doing nothing.

What comes into view is a massive body, limbs like pillars of heaven, and—

A huge head approached Lu Qingfeng.

It was a head that was a combination of a beast and a void creature, covered with the same dark silver scales as those in the inherited memories from who-knows-where, and with a few short, crystal-clear, jade-like horns on the top of its head.

It has a pair of huge, pale golden eyes, which are now curiously examining the "little one" on the ground.

This is a creature that is estimated to be over 15 meters long and 5 to 6 meters tall at the shoulder.

By human standards, it is a colossal creature.

However, according to the dungeon description, this is merely a cub of a star behemoth, which has just gained the ability to act independently and has been released from its homeland.

The cub seemed quite interested in Lu Qingfeng, this strange little thing that had suddenly appeared in its territory.

It extended its front paw, and with the side of one toe, cautiously, almost tentatively—

"Smack."

She gently touched Lu Qingfeng.

What might have been a mere tap to a cub was, for Lu Qingfeng, who was being suppressed by terrifying gravity—

#m

Quack! Don't come any closer!

"puff!"

Lu Qingfeng, who was hit head-on, almost couldn't catch his breath. His blood and qi surged, but this also made him realize that lying down was not a good solution. So, with a super PLUS version of a carp flipping over, he sat up from the ground!

[Network notification: You have been discovered by [Starry Sky Beast Cub - Star Silver (Juvenile Stage)]!]

[Due to the aura of the Void Clan on your body and the lack of hostility shown, Xingyin's initial attitude towards you is: curiosity (neutral to friendly)]

The Starry Sky Beast Cub [Star Silver]'s affinity towards you increases by 5.

"Cough cough—" Lu Qingfeng coughed a few times. His respiratory system had completed the initial adaptation to the gas on this planet, which also meant that Lu Qingfeng had the ability to move independently on this planet!

However, hunting planets was too early; the primary objective was still—he looked up and met those huge, pale golden eyes.

He saw no malice in those eyes, only pure curiosity, like a child discovering a beetle he had never seen before.

"Roar—" The cub let out a soft, puzzled cry, the sound like muffled thunder rolling across the earth.

It brought its nose closer and sniffed, the warm breath carrying a strange scent of stars and metal, causing Lu Qingfeng's robes to flutter.

[Star Silver] is sensing your past aura and life essence through ■■ — Sensing successful!

[Star Silver] has confirmed that you are [a stunted cub from another race]. Affection +10. Current relationship: Friendly.

The curiosity in the cub's eyes instantly turned into understanding and friendliness.

It moved its massive head aside, took a few steps to the side, then glanced back at Lu Qingfeng and growled again, seemingly signaling him to follow—well, not "seemingly," it was definitely signaling him to follow.

Lu Qingfeng took a deep breath, and his respiratory system began to absorb the free life energy from this planet into his body. The Qi and Blood Furnace started to operate, resisting the planet's terrifying gravity.

Slowly, he stood up and took his first step. Each movement required ten or even a hundred times more energy than on an ordinary planet.

However, Lu Qingfeng was a martial arts master after all. After a little adjustment, he was able to move freely. He would follow the cub from now on.

According to Earth time, about ten minutes later, the cosmic behemoth cub led him to a stop in a certain place.

Lu Qingfeng looked ahead and saw several other enormous figures similar to [Star Silver] not far away.

Some were lying lazily, some were pacing slowly, and some were tilting their heads back to absorb the visible pale purple energy flow in the air.

They come in all shapes and sizes; some are covered in carapaces, some have bony spurs, and some are surrounded by an aura of energy. But without exception, they all exude a breathtakingly powerful life force.

This is the breeding ground for the star monster cubs.
