Swallowing the Stars: Analyzing All Things

Deep beneath the surface of Huangyan Star.

Lin Yan sat cross-legged in the cultivation chamber, with the mirage feather floating in front of him, its surface shimmering with silvery-white light.

suddenly.

He sensed it.

That subtle spatial fluctuation, like a fleeting glimmer of light in the darkness, led Lin Yan's consciousness forward, passing through the thin membrane and entering a completely new world.

Then--

Capture it and merge it into the mirage feathers.

"Buzz—"

The mirage feathers trembled slightly.

A silvery-white light burst forth from the feathers, no longer as soft and gentle as before, but a sharp gleam.

"Whoosh!"

With a thought from Lin Yan, the feather vanished before him, merging into the folds of space and disappearing completely from his perception.

However, Lin Yan, as the master, could still sense that Shen Yu was right beside him, lurking in the gaps of the spatial folds, waiting for the right moment to strike.

"Out—"

Lin Yan's mind stirred.

The mirage feather emerged from the folds of space.

It traced a perfect arc, leaving a long, thin trail of silvery-white light in the void before disappearing into another spatial fold.

Then, it emerges from another direction, dives in again, and disappears once more, its trajectory unpredictable, like a ghost moving through the darkness.

"Um?"

Suddenly, he stopped moving.

His gaze pierced through the rock walls of the secret chamber to the outside world, where several spaceships were descending upon the planet through the atmosphere.

"This seems to be..."

"They've come with ill intentions!"

Lin Yan frowned slightly as the power of the world quietly enveloped the spaceships, ranging from the Eternal Star level to the Cosmic Star level—most of the spaceships were Eternal Star level, with only one Cosmic Star level.

Slave traders!

Almost instantly, Lin Yan identified the group, given the obvious markings on their spaceship that indicated they belonged to a large slave organization within the Lan You Universe Kingdom.

Bloodfire Organization!

But what are they doing here?

Lin Yan quickly found the answer: a large number of Blood Basin Grasses grew in the continuous red mountain range on this planet.

Blood Basin Grass —

Although this resource is of no use to Lin Yan, it can be cultivated in large quantities and used as a cultivation resource at the Hengxing level. For an organization, this is simply an invaluable treasure trove.

"We've spent hundreds of years cultivating on this planet; we can't just stand by and watch you slaughter this place."

Lin Yan muttered to himself as he stood up. He felt a certain connection to this planet, though these were just excuses. The main reason was that he couldn't stand human traffickers.

Whether it's a past life or this life.

I can't stand it.

……

"Splash—"

As Lin Yan's world power spread out, the Mirage Feather instantly burst forth with a dazzling silver-white light.

This light forms a curtain of light.

As if bursting forth simultaneously from the folds of space and the edges of the world's projection, it surged in all directions like a tide, encompassing rocks, soil, groundwater, and subterranean life—

Everything was enveloped in it.

From the depths of the earth to the surface, from the surface to the atmosphere, and from the atmosphere to outer space, the entire planet was completely covered by a projection of the world in that instant.

The Mirage Realm opens!

……

In the mountains and forests.

The young man looked up, his pupils suddenly contracting.

He had never seen anything like it before. Its shape resembled a moving mountain range, its entire body a blood-red color, stretching from one end of the sky to the other, obscuring the entire sky.

He didn't know what it was.

All he knew was that it was too big, bigger than he could have imagined, and too close, so close that it seemed it could crush him and the entire mountain at any moment.

"Brother... Brother, what is that?!" Xiao Xi's voice rang out from behind, filled with fear.

The young man opened his mouth, wanting to answer, but he didn't know what it was or how to reply.

now.

Everyone on the mountain was looking up at the sky.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Suddenly, several figures appeared out of thin air in the sky. They were all dressed in dark red armor and stood firmly on solid ground, without any support on their feet.

silence!

The indigenous residents below seemed to have been choked, staring wide-eyed in terror at the suddenly appearing figure.

These figures alone were enough to send chills down everyone's spines, as if a fear stemming from an instinctive life force made them feel even more terrified than the adult living in the central city.

"Hahaha, it really is Blood Basin Grass!"

A young man looked down at the forest below, his gaze piercing through the dense red leaves, his eyes filled with greed.

"We've already scouted it out. The strongest being on this planet right now is only a single-star level being," a middle-aged man said casually. "Just kill them."

"And these ants below, leave none alive."

Having said that, he controlled his telekinetic weapon, and a dark red scimitar flew out from his sleeve, drawing a sharp arc in the air as it flew towards the crowd below.

"No--"

Their conversation was not concealed and was naturally overheard by the indigenous people below. They were all terrified and tried to flee, but suddenly a light was reflected in the young man's pupils...

Then it instantly transformed into a curtain of light.

An endless curtain of light enveloped the entire mountain range.

No, the entire planet.

The light curtain fell from the sky, converging from all directions, enveloping the entire mountain range, the entire forest, and the entire planet.

"Buzz~"

The dark red psychic weapon, a curved blade, stopped less than ten meters from the forest below.

then.

They vanished into thin air.

The middle-aged man wielding the curved sword was stunned. He had been able to control it with his mental power just moments before, but now his connection with the sword was severed, completely severed.

"What's going on?!"

He looked around in horror and found that everything around him had turned into a silvery-white world, trees, rocks, rivers, mountains... everything was covered by that silvery-white light.

"This is……"

"World projection?!"

The captain, a cosmic-level leader, suddenly changed his expression. He had once followed a certain world lord in the organization and witnessed the world projection of a world lord-level powerhouse.

That overwhelming pressure, that omnipresent sense of control, was exactly the same as the silver-white light screen before them—

But it's also somewhat different.

"My lord, please spare me..."

Before he could finish speaking, he vanished into thin air. As if wiped from the world by an invisible hand, everything related to him was annihilated with his disappearance.

"No--!"

The other team members tried to escape in terror, but in the next moment, they too vanished.

The light screen slowly faded away.

Only the indigenous people remained, seemingly unaware of all this.

"Brother, what are you standing there for?" In the forest below, the little boy tugged at the sleeve of the thin young man beside him. Although his face was still a little pale, it was much better than before.

"what……"

The thin young man came to his senses, looked down at his younger brother, and a look of confusion flashed in his eyes.

He remembered that he seemed to have seen something just now, but he also felt that these memories were rapidly fading away.

The more you try to remember, the faster it slips away.

"Have you rested enough?" he asked instinctively, a hint of uncertainty in his voice.

"Yes! I've rested enough!" The little boy nodded vigorously, got up from the ground, patted the dirt off his clothes, and said, "Let's go, let's go, we still need to find medicine for Dad!"

Looking at his younger brother's expectant face, the thin young man's unease gradually dissipated. He took a deep breath, smiled, and reached out to ruffle his brother's hair.

"Okay, let's go..."

"Let's continue up the mountain!"
