Swallowing the Stars: Analyzing All Things

Inside the valley of ruins.

He pried the glowing crystal off the rock wall, and the moment it fell into his palm, he felt a warm pulse.

Like a heartbeat.

One, one, another.

The pulse of the crystal gradually synchronized with his heartbeat, as if a strange resonance had been established between him and the stone.

"Shh~"

Suddenly, after the crystal touched the warmth of his palm, the bluish-gray outer shell began to peel off piece by piece, revealing the true appearance inside.

A stone the size of a pebble.

The stone has a smooth, mirror-like surface and a warm, jade-like feel. It has a heavy, substantial texture when held in the palm of your hand. It is translucent milky white with fine, faint golden veins visible inside.

Under the faint light of the night sky, these golden patterns glow slightly, as if something is slowly flowing within them.

Wind-scale Stone!!!

The name came to mind.

At the same time, a bluish-white light burst forth from inside the stone, flowing into his mind along his fingertips.

A scene exploded in my mind.

It was a huge palace suspended in the void, made entirely of bluish-gray giant stones, with two characters written in the universal language of the universe engraved on the palace gates—Wind Scales.

The palace was surrounded by three orbs of bluish-white light, and in each orb, a pebble-sized stone could be vaguely seen, covered with fine golden patterns.

"Wind Scale Stone, the key to the core control of the Wind Scale World, the Wind Scale Palace can be opened when the three stones are combined."

Lin Yan's pupils contracted slightly.

The Wind Scale Palace is the core of this World Lord's world, and the place where the Wind Scale World Lord's legacy is passed down.

The intelligence he purchased from the Virtual Universe Company did not contain detailed information about the Wind Scale Palace. Perhaps they knew about it but simply did not include it, or perhaps they were unaware of it at all.

after all……

The Lanyou branch might not care about the treasure of a realm lord, but the members of the virtual universe company in the Ningxuan branch might not.

Regardless of which side they belong to.

Real resources are always allocated to the elite first. A member of a branch of a medium-sized universe country is naturally far inferior to those elites in status and in terms of resource allocation.

"Um?"

Lin Yan sensed three auras approaching from afar, and he immediately put the Wind Scale Stone into his spatial ring.

"brother."

A rough voice came from afar, and three figures landed in a triangular formation not far ahead. Two men and one woman were all dressed in dark red armor, with a blood-red crescent moon symbol on their chests.

The man in the lead was a burly, imposing figure. As he looked at Lin Yan, a barely concealed burning desire flashed deep in his pupils.

"What is that?"

The burly man grinned, his tone sounding casual, "That stone you were holding earlier looked pretty rare. The three of us saw it glowing from a distance and came all the way over to take a look."

The tall, thin man and the woman behind him also tacitly dispersed, subtly blocking all of Lin Yan's escape routes.

"Let us see it."

The burly man's smile widened, but the greed in his eyes almost overflowed. "Don't hide it away! Let's share the treasure. More friends, more paths, don't you think?"

"What if they don't give it to me?"

Lin Yan's voice was calm. The auras emanating from the three people in front of him were that of two sixth-level universe-level beings and one seventh-level universe-level being beings from the Blood Moon Tower. It was clear that the three of them had come with ill intentions.

Blood Moon Tower had a terrible reputation in Ningxuan Kingdom.

Most of their resources are obtained through robbery, killing, and plunder. For example, the Blood Blade Star Pirates were protected by an elder of the Blood Moon Tower.

"Hehe~"

The burly man's smile vanished completely.

His voice became hoarse. In the outer universe, due to the rules and deterrence of the Virtual Universe Company, they did not dare to openly rob and kill other cultivators.

But this world of the realm master has no rules, making it the most suitable hunting ground for them.

"Boom!"

Three auras erupted simultaneously.

The burly man took the lead, his palms glowing with a rich crimson light. The tall, thin man cut in from the left, and the moment his crimson longsword was drawn, dense crimson patterns appeared on its blade.

The woman flanked from the right, drawing two curved swords simultaneously, their blades gleaming with a dark red light.

The three attacked simultaneously from above and below, their coordination flawless, instantly sealing off all of Lin Yan's escape routes.

"Pfft~"

Three attacks landed fiercely, but Lin Yan vanished.

Just as the three attacks were about to land, it silently and completely disappeared from their senses.

Where are they?!

The burly man's triangular eyes suddenly widened, and in the next moment, the entire sky turned into a silvery-white light.

"Swish swish~"

The silvery-white rain fell like flowers scattered by a celestial maiden, each drop of light as fine as a hair.

Densely packed, blotting out the sky and the sun.

The rain of ice needles enveloped the entire valley. The burly man who was targeted first didn't even have time to let out a scream before three ice needles pierced through his defenses and stabbed into his brow, throat, and heart.

White light exploded inside his body.

The burly man instantly lost consciousness, his massive body collapsing to the ground.

The tall, thin person reacts a little faster.

However, as he blocked the ice needles, Lin Yan had already circled around to his front, and with a flash of cold light, a fine head flew off.

The last remaining woman was the weakest. After the strong man and the tall, thin man died, she was riddled with ice needles.

Three breaths.

All three were killed.

Lin Yan retracted the mirage feather, and the silvery-white light receded into his palm like a tide, transforming back into that quiet silvery-white feather.

His gaze swept calmly over the three corpses.

The people of Blood Moon Tower.

In the outer region of this world's main realm, three universe-level beings working together is already a formidable combination. They hunt down idle martial artists and plunder treasures, thriving in this lawless battlefield.

pity……

They ran into Lin Yan.

Lin Yan was originally a seventh-level psychic master at the cosmic level. With the addition of the Mirage Feather, a psychic weapon that was suspected to be a fifth-level weapon, the secret technique of the second layer could greatly stimulate the secret runes on the weapon.

This gives him combat power far exceeding that of a seventh-tier cosmic-level opponent. Unless facing an elite genius from a similarly powerful force, ordinary seventh-tier cosmic-level opponents would be instantly killed by him.

After cleaning up the scene...

Lin Yan then transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the horizon.

According to the intelligence he knew, every member of the Blood Moon Tower had their consciousness constantly logged into the virtual universe while exploring outside. Once they went offline in the virtual universe, it meant they had perished.

It only took three breaths just now.

However, Lin Yan was unsure whether the other party had uploaded his information. If his information had already been uploaded to Blood Moon Tower, he would be in trouble.

anyway.

He needs to leave here as soon as possible.
