The end of one hunt is the beginning of the next (the end!)
He sat Shisui and serenely in the vast and boundless universe.
Behind them, a dark backdrop is dotted with twinkling, glowing planets.
His Kakugan were fixed on Ruolan Star before him.
The Kakugan, capable of clearly observing energy fluctuations, witnessed the dramatic changes taking place.
As the Ruolan Star gradually collapsed inward, it completely lost its original shape and structure.
Only rocks of varying sizes and molten lava remained floating in outer space.
Colorful rocks scattered like fireworks, their energy waves spreading far and wide like surging heat.
However, this spectacular sight did not last long.
The flames gradually subsided, and the fireworks display that had burned the Ruolan Star turned to ashes.
The original location of the Ruolan Star has been replaced by a chaotic nebula.
From the perspective of the Kakugan, the nebula's originally intense colors faded, leaving only a dimmed glimmer.
Perhaps in a few hours, the debris of this planet will slowly dissipate.
Ultimately, they become dust in the universe, forgotten by time and space.
The fireworks display came to an end, and the Ruolan Star ceased to exist in this universe.
Shisui withdrew his gaze, losing interest in the now-gloomy ruins.
Focus your attention on your own Psychic Energy reserves.
He had previously consumed nearly one-sixth of his energy reserves by hunting down Planetary Wills and surrounding the core of Ruolan Star.
Therefore, while watching the play, Shisui was slowly consuming the Energy Crystals.
These Energy Crystals are about half the size of a palm.
Unlike Flesh Crystals, they resemble pure and translucent jade, with a faint bluish hue.
Its flavor is sweeter and more delicate.
If I had to describe it, the taste is similar to lettuce.
Shisui neither disliked nor particularly liked it.
However, it must be said that the energy it contains is indeed quite pure, requiring almost no digestion.
Therefore, in that short time, the energy storage deficit in Shisui's body was filled.
Having eaten and drunk his fill, Shisui stood up, his senses expanding outwards.
Then he noticed the thinness of energy in the vicinity.
He concluded that there were no longer any planets in this region capable of supporting life like Ruolan Star.
This was expected.
The energy in the universe is also finite.
From the moment intelligence first emerged on Ruolan Star, the energy in that vicinity was rapidly and intentionally or unintentionally plundered by it.
This is why He was able to give birth to the Heaven-Controlling Realm, and also why He cannot control His own energy.
Most of the energy in this region is used to feed the Ruolan Star is at the top of the food chain.
Naturally, less energy is allocated to other planets.
This energy might be more than enough to keep a planet functioning normally, but it would be absolutely insufficient to support the emergence of intelligence.
Hunting such a planet would consume so much energy that it wouldn't be recovered, making it a completely unprofitable endeavor for Shisui.
And going to places even further into this universe, so far away that the energy there is unaffected by Ruolan Star.
And it was very fortunate to have a planet with intelligence.
This is a rather tedious, time-consuming, and laborious task.
Rather than foolishly searching in one universe, Shisui prefers to explore other places.
Having made up his mind, Shisui didn't delay any longer.
He first reinforced his Alternate Space used for storage with Koukaku.
Once secured, carry them with you.
Then, to ensure his own safety, all of Shisui's Kagune appeared, and he instantly activated his Kakuja transformation.
A hard Koukaku covers the seemingly fragile flesh, while the Bikaku coils around the body, waiting for its chance to strike.
The Rinkaku Scorpion Tail lay dormant in the Kakuhou on its lower back, ready to pounce at any moment.
The Kakuhou on the shoulder blades released two pairs of enormous Ukaku.
The Shisui began to flap its wings.
Spatial Energy was stirred up, a terrifying hurricane was unleashed, and fine, dense spatial cracks instantly appeared around it.
As the body's energy was fully mobilized, amidst the excited tremors of the Rc Cells, Shisui sensed that thick barrier.
Like frosted glass, Shisui could vaguely see something outside through the barrier, but couldn't make out what it was.
Without further thought, taking advantage of his abundant energy, Shisui launched an attack on the barrier.
The eight Bikaku struck one spot and slashed down fiercely.
"Bang!"
The barrier only trembled slightly at first.
Shisui didn't stop; following the momentum, he spun around and swung down again with a heavy blow.
"Bang!!"
This time the sound was louder, and the barrier tremors were more pronounced.
There's hope.
The barrier is not immovable or indestructible.
Shisui spun around again.
He was like a chainsaw, the flowing Blade Scales on his Bikaku working in tandem with his constantly spinning and accelerating slashes, creating sparks from energy fluctuations at the point of impact with the barrier.
Dozens of seconds later, a crisp "crack!" was heard.
A crack has appeared in the barrier of this universe.
External capabilities are pouring in.
Shisui could sense that the energy surging in was quite complex, with at least several flavors intertwined.
As he thought this, he continued swinging his sword.
The cracks are getting bigger and bigger.
Finally, after a few seconds, a gap appeared, just wide enough for one person to pass through.
Without hesitation, Shisui immediately burst out of this universe.
Upon leaving the universe containing Ruolan Star, Shisui immediately felt himself being squeezed by several forces.
My body felt like it had been thrown into a millstone.
If it weren't for the high strength of his physical body, he would have been reduced to ashes the moment he emerged.
His Shisui mind was racing.
Kakugan and quickly gathered information about his surroundings.
He then realized that these universes were actually like grapes, closely packed together.
At the same time, they are moving slowly according to their own rhythm.
As a result, being situated in the gaps between these universes, one is inevitably subjected to compression and friction.
Shisui's body energy is being rapidly depleted as he resists this pressure.
There was no time to hesitate.
Based on his senses and perception, he chose a world nearby that emitted terrifying energy fluctuations.
The barriers in this world are quite peculiar.
If we were to say that the barriers of the universe in which the Ruolan Star resides are like frosted tempered glass.
The barriers to this new world are more like a cloud of unknown thickness.
The clouds looked very soft, as if they could be easily broken through.
But when Shisui launched an attack, the immense power was instantly dissipated.
It's like hitting cotton.
The cotton did indeed collapse the instant it was attacked.
However, it will fluff up again after a period of time, as if it had never been attacked.
Shisui clearly understands that this cannot continue.
He mobilized more forces, Kagune suddenly converged.
Shisui transformed into a giant, sharp, spindle-shaped aggregate of Rc Cells.
Then, he suddenly thrust his weapon at the target.
The Spatial Energy on the surface of the spindle-shaped aggregate collides with the world barrier.
After the area of contact with the force was reduced to the minimum, a gap was squeezed open in the cotton ball.
Shisui seized the opportunity to increase his power output and plunged into the barrier.
"Boom--!"
Dark clouds gathered, thunder rumbled, and the sky seemed to have been ripped open, unleashing a torrential downpour.
A group of young men and women walking in the mountains looked up at the sky.
These people seemed to be shrouded in a barrier, and the heavy rain did not pour over them.
One of them muttered in a low voice, puzzled.
"Strange, Elder Manman calculated that it wouldn't rain today."
Before the words were even finished, the dark clouds in the sky were pierced by something falling at breakneck speed.
"Bang!!"
The object crashed onto the mountainside not far from the group, startling a large number of birds into flight as they fled in the rain.
Upon seeing this, the leader's sharp eyes lit up with interest.
"Let's go take a look over there."
He was the leader of a team on a normal training trip, and since the others were also very curious, no one objected.
Suddenly, the standard-issue longswords in the hands of a group of people flew up, and the boys lightly touched the ground with their toes and leaped onto the swords.
Then, the team leader took the lead, and the group rushed towards the mountainside.
In just a few moments, they arrived at their destination.
The surrounding trees had fallen, and a deep pit had been created in the ground.
In the center of the deep pit, a dark purple, spindle-shaped unidentified object was embedded in the rock.
The object seemed to be alive, with faint, blood-red light flowing through its vein-like patterns.
The group sensed the Spiritual Energy fluctuations of the object.
It's very weak; the Spiritual Energy reserves in the body are probably only that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Most of those present were in the Late Foundation Establishment, and the team leader was in the Middle Golden Core, so naturally they were not afraid of an unknown object in the Foundation Establishment stage.
The crowd slowly dispersed, gradually approaching the unknown object in a surrounding manner.
The moment they entered the pit, the spindle-shaped object suddenly moved.
Its popular surface differentiates into feather-like patterns, and then the object's outer shell unfolds like flower petals.
The change happened too quickly; by the time everyone reacted, an invisible Spatial Barrier had already risen at the edge of the pit.
"So weak."
The hungry Ghoul opened its Kakugan and met the gaze of its terrified prey.
"Never mind, let's have something to eat first."
Amidst the torrential rain, a new round of hunting began.
