Swallowing the Stars: Analyzing All Things

Beyond the realm, on the continent of Lanqi.

The legion did not directly enter the Azure Continent. The massive spaceship remained hidden in the void outside the continent's outer orbit, quietly overlooking the dark red land below.

Although it was a clearing and suppression mission.

However, the main task of the extraterrestrial legions has always been training troops. In the absence of an absolute threat, the duties of the Immortal Lord are mostly to allow the cosmic warriors to hone their skills and grow as much as possible.

Therefore, this time, the entire legion did not descend; instead, large-scale combat squads were deployed first.

Small spaceships set off one after another, scattering in all directions of the continent like a swarm of bees. Each spaceship carried a combat squad with different objectives.

Lin Yan's team was assigned to an indigenous tribe.

Inside the spacecraft's command center.

Lin Yan stood in front of the command screen, looking down at the land getting closer and closer through the spaceship's exterior simulation.

Behind him stood ten unfamiliar faces.

Lin Yan's 37th squad has a total of ten members besides him, including eight gene warriors, one mentalist, and one rare pharmacist.

Among the strong, the three main schools are martial artists, mentalists, and illusionists, which make up the vast majority of cultivators.

Puppeteer, Apothecary, Beast Tamer, and other similar specializations are extremely rare, especially Apothecary—

Achieving success is extremely difficult.

Pharmacists not only need to be proficient in pharmacology and refining methods, but also need to be thoroughly familiar with the properties of various materials, and they also need to have sufficient financial resources to support repeated experiments and failures.

Among a million practitioners, perhaps only one will become a pharmacist.

Of ten thousand pharmacists, perhaps only one will be able to fight on the battlefield. Those pharmacists who can play a role on the battlefield are sought after by various factions.

Because pharmacists can overcome the odds.

A cosmic-level alchemist, if fully prepared, can even threaten a domain lord-level powerhouse.

If a domain lord-level alchemist possesses a high-value potion, even a realm lord must be wary of him.

Because apothecaries' combat effectiveness mainly depends on the potions they concoct, and these potions often have the effect of fighting enemies of higher levels.

Lin Yan's team includes such a pharmacist.

Frost curtains.

A seemingly weak and frail young man, whose physical attributes were only at the fifth level of the cosmic level, ranking only in the middle to lower tier in this team, but no one dared to underestimate him.

Because during Lin Yan's previous training session, he used a bottle of medicine to stun the unprepared squad for more than ten seconds.

Ten seconds or so?

On a real battlefield.

Those ten-odd seconds are enough to easily wipe out a small squad.

Besides Lian Song, the pharmacist, there were eight other martial artists, whose cultivation levels ranged from the third to the eighth level of the cosmic realm.

And a mentalist named Wei Ran, a cosmic-level eighth-order cultivator, who is Lin Yan's deputy in the team.

……

"Everyone..."

"Get ready."

Lin Yan's voice rang out inside the cabin.

The spaceship slowed down, and the hatch slowly opened, revealing the clear outline of an indigenous tribe below.

The indigenous people of this tribe are a race known as the "Stone Skin Tribe".

Although the Stone-Skinned Tribe are humanoid, their heads are oval-shaped, they have no noses, only a small hole for breathing, their eyes are small and have no pupils, and their mouths are just a crack running across their faces.

They are generally between two and three meters tall, with robust physiques, thick limbs, and their entire bodies are covered with a layer of grayish-white stone-like skin, the surface of which is covered with fine cracks.

now.

Smoke is rising from the village.

The spaceship had already explored the tribe. The entire tribe consisted of one sixth-level domain lord, four first- to third-level domain lords, and the rest were cosmic-level and eternal-level beings, with a total population of about three hundred.

"kill."

Lin Yan quickly issued the order.

As soon as he finished speaking, he swooped down towards the tribe, and his teammates followed suit.

The natives below finally noticed the strangeness in the sky. They looked up and saw more than a dozen dark figures getting closer and closer reflected in their cloudy, dark yellow eyes.

"Enemy attack—"

A lord-level native roared in their language.

He grabbed a stone hammer, the head of which was as big as a millstone. The grayish-white stone surface was covered with mottled patterns. Suddenly, a powerful force burst forth from his body, and he attacked directly in Lin Yan's direction.

"Tch~"

The blood-red battle blade was drawn.

The blade traced a perfect arc along the ripples created by the spatial tremors.

A flash of light appeared, and the body of the lord-level native was cleaved in two. His grayish-white stone-like skin was so fragile in front of the blade that he offered no resistance.

A knife.

Domain Lord, third rank, dead.

At the same time, streaks of light shot into the sky from the depths of the tribe.

The leader was a burly native, nearly three meters tall, wielding a huge stone axe. His entire body was covered in dark gray, stone-like skin, and his dark yellow eyes burned with furious flames.

Behind him, three streaks of light followed closely, their life force slightly weaker, but all of them were still at the Domain Lord level.

"kill!"

Four domain lords rushed towards Lin Yan from four directions.

The enormous stone axe cleaved down with a whooshing sound, its blade gleaming with a layer of grayish-white light.

"Um?"

Lin Yan's gaze sharpened slightly.

This is a special strength of the indigenous groups described in materials provided by the military system.

The power of petrification!

Without armor to protect you, once you are hit by this force, your body will begin to petrify from the wound, quickly spreading throughout your body and eventually turning into a stone sculpture.

"Pfft~"

As soon as Lin Yan had a thought...

The mirage feather traced a perfect arc along the ripples of spatial vibration, its light extremely fine and bright, like a silver thread soaked in moonlight, silently traversing the void.

With a muffled "plop," the leader of the Stone-Skinned Tribe was pierced from the left shoulder to the right waist by the light. Dark gray blood gushed out like a fountain from the crack in his grayish-white stone skin.

"No……"

The stone-skinned man stood frozen in place, his dark yellow eyes filled with disbelief.

next moment.

His body shifted from the wound, his upper body slid diagonally down, and crashed to the ground with a thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The sixth-level domain lord was killed.

The remaining three lord-level natives were stunned by Lin Yan's swift and precise killing methods. Their figures paused in mid-air, and the anger in their eyes was replaced by fear.

"puff!"

A silvery-white light once again pierced the void.

"Pfft!" "Pfft!"

Before they could even think of escaping, the light shuttle drew a perfect arc in the air, an arc like a crescent moon, connecting the three figures on the same trajectory.

The three bodies fell almost simultaneously, hitting the ground with a dull thud and kicking up a cloud of grayish-white dust.

Lin Yan stood in mid-air, his gaze calm as still water.
