Qin Chuan kept rummaging through the core's contents and pulled out a broken greatsword.
The sword had no hilt, only an exceptionally broad section of blade. It was completely transparent, with a miniature galaxy sealed inside it, collapsing in on itself without end.
"Is that... the deadly weapon he never finished forging?" Cang Hai took two steps back when he saw the greatsword. "He drained three galaxies just to compress their star cores into it and forge a weapon that could sever the void!"
Qin Chuan gripped the greatsword's blade. The violently unstable power of the destroyed star cores burrowed through his palm and into his body, trying to tear through his defenses.
With his right hand, Qin Chuan drew [Moment of Utmost Darkness] and drove the pitch-black dagger hard into the greatsword's blade.
Complete Form of Dimension Collapse activated.
The miniature galaxy inside the greatsword was forcibly compressed into a perfectly flat, two-dimensional plane.
A black gleam lit up the blade of [Moment of Utmost Darkness] as it devoured all that flattened star-core power.
The dagger's black surface grew deeper still. Its edge gained a sharpness that could sever even light.
The Attack Power figure on the panel jumped again, rising by a full two billion. Agility increased by a hundred million as well.
Qin Chuan put the dagger away.
He soon stripped the ground of every top-grade item.
He casually kicked the remaining high-purity energy crystals over to Cang Hai's feet.
"They're yours," Qin Chuan said.
Cang Hai threw himself to the ground and hugged the crystals, so moved he nearly wept.
With these crystals, he could finally replenish his depleted Origin Essence. He never wanted to feel as though two more steps might kill him again.
Qin Chuan ignored Cang Hai as he scrabbled for the leftovers.
