Swallowing the Stars: Analyzing All Things

Temporary military base on the continent of Lanqi.

A blurry halo hung in the sky, its edges glowing with a dim yellow light, turning the pebbles and dry grass on the ground a dark red.

"Boom—"

The giant spaceship slowly took off, then broke through the clouds. The dark red sky churned violently under the impact of the ship, revealing a pitch-black void.

On the spaceship.

Through the outdoor simulation, Lin Yan watched the dark red continent below recede into the distance, eventually disappearing beneath the clouds.

After rest and recuperation.

The legion has a new mission.

The new mission location is on the eastern edge of the star system where the Lanqi Continent is located. Military intelligence indicates that a demon fleet is operating in that area.

The mission of the 57th Army was to intercept and annihilate this demon fleet and cut off the demons' infiltration into this area.

"Hope the mission goes smoothly!"

Lin Yan thought to himself, yet a sense of unease lingered within him.

Intelligence from battlefields outside the region is never very reliable; an accuracy rate of 50% is considered good.

After all, enemies can also disguise themselves.

A warship can be disguised as the main force of a legion, a fleet can be disguised as a defeated army, and an immortal can be disguised as a world lord—on the battlefield outside the domain, disguise and deception are commonplace.

The fleet sailed through the dark universe for several days.

When I emerged from the dark universe, the exterior simulation showed an unfamiliar starry sky. There was no dark red sky like the one on the continent of Lanqi, only endless darkness and sparse starlight.

In the distance, several lifeless planets slowly rotated in the void, their surfaces covered with craters and cracks.

Further away, an asteroid belt gleams dimly, with debris traveling along irregular orbits, occasionally colliding and exploding into a cloud of fine dust.

The spacecraft is navigating normally in space.

"Beep!" "Beep!" "Beep!"

Suddenly, a piercing alarm sounded in the spaceship, waking everyone, whether they were resting or cultivating.

"Anomaly detected!" the ship's AI voice crackled in the communication channel, tinged with urgency. "Anomalous fluctuations detected in the area ahead, analyzing—"

An area was quickly marked on the outdoor simulation, a red halo flashed on the star map, and an incredibly bright point of light appeared inside the halo.

"A legion of warships!!!"

Lin Yan's pupils contracted slightly; their legion had already been locked onto by the demon race's warships.

"boom--"

Before Lin Yan could react, a violent force of immortality suddenly struck from afar, a dark red torrent of energy churning in the void, causing space to distort slightly wherever it passed.

"Let's fight!"

Xuan Yi, the military commander, spoke to everyone. His figure appeared instantly in front of the legion, silver flames burning around him, scorching and distorting the surrounding void.

"roar--"

A deafening roar echoed from the distant void.

The sound seemed to explode directly into the depths of their souls, causing all the warriors to involuntarily tremble with fear.

A colossal creature emerged from the void.

It is over a hundred kilometers long and its entire body is covered with dark gold carapace, the surface of which is covered with fine patterns.

Its head resembled a wolf but was not; it revealed rows of sharp, white fangs, each several kilometers long. Its limbs were as thick as mountains, and its claws gleamed with a dark golden light.

"Humans, die!"

A cold light flashed in the wolf's dark green eyes, and a thick tail swung behind it, the dark golden orb at the tip of the tail instantly transforming into a beam of light that shot out.

"I've come to meet you!"

Commander Xuan Yi raised his spear and went to meet him.

The endless shadows of guns transformed into a black river, instantly dissolving the beam of light into nothingness. The two immortal gods clashed directly not far from the battlefield.

……

At the same time that the immortals were engaged in battle.

A massive beam of energy shot in from one direction and slammed into the shield of the spaceship where Lin Yan and his companions were located.

"Boom!"

The instant the beam of light collided with the shield.

A blinding burst of light exploded around the spaceship, engulfing it in a blazing white light. The violent impact sent the spaceship flying, tumbling several times in mid-air before finally stabilizing.

"Charge!"

Lin Yan followed several realm lords and commanders out of the spaceship and met many demon realm lords who had already attacked from the void.

On the battlefield outside the domain, the main ships of most legions are only E-class spaceships, which cost about one trillion cosmic coins, equivalent to one Hunyuan unit.

This level of spaceship main cannon, although equivalent to a strike from a peak World Lord, only counts if it hits its target.

At the speed of a realm lord, it would be difficult for him to be hit by the main cannon of a spaceship.

Therefore, in legion wars, what truly determines the outcome of the battlefield is always the strength of the forces, not the warships.

"Um!"

Lin Yan's gaze locked onto a demon realm lord.

It was a lizard demon nearly a hundred meters long, with a triangular head, extremely thick limbs, and its entire body covered in dark green scales. Its vertical pupils burned with ghostly green flames.

"Third-tier Realm Lord".

Lin Yan became more vigilant.

Since breaking through to the Realm Lord level, although he has been soaking in nutrient solution, his physical condition is still only at the second level of Realm Lord.

The cultivation realm is always structured like a pyramid; the higher you go, the more difficult it becomes to cross realms and defeat enemies.

At the Cosmic level, he could easily kill opponents of higher levels. At the Domain Lord level, it became somewhat difficult to kill opponents of higher levels. The gap between each minor realm at the World Lord level was even greater.

"Whoosh!"

A battle sword appeared in Lin Yan's hand.

The blade was entirely black, covered with fine, scale-like patterns. A silver-white pattern was engraved on the edge, which emitted a faint glow when infused with the power of Lin Yan's world.

Black Scale Battle Blade.

This is one of the legacies that Lin Yan obtained from the Lord of the Wind Scale Realm. It is a fifth-grade top-quality Origin Force weapon that best fits the fundamental laws of "water and space" and is perfectly aligned with his current cultivation path.

"Tch~"

A silvery-white light shone from the blade, drawing a sharp arc in the void.

"Hehe~"

A hint of disdain flashed in the lizard demon realm lord's vertical pupils.

A human at the second level of the Realm Lord realm dares to challenge it head-on? It raised its right claw, its sharp claws gleaming with a ghostly green light, and reached out to grab Lin Yan, intending to crush this ant to death.

"Bang!"

The lizard demon clan's realm lord's expression immediately turned solemn, for the "Lin Yan" he had struck had vanished like a shadow.

"Huh? Afterimage???"

In that brief moment, Lin Yan's figure flashed continuously in the void, his black-scaled battle blade slashing out, its blade gleaming with silvery-white light, and slashing fiercely into the abdomen of the lizard demon.

"clang--"

A deafening explosion resounded in the void.

The lizard demon realm lord's scales blocked the attack, but the world power on the blade still seeped in, exploding into a small energy storm within its body.

"Roar~"

"Humans!!!"
