Watching the stars filling the sky, Ye Chen casually waved his hand, and the stars churned.
With a thought, his figure appeared before any one of the stars.
Looking at the stars that all appeared identical, Ye Chen picked and chose, but could not decide which one to take. That was the trouble with a lottery—he wanted them all.
Unfortunately, he could only choose one. In the end, he casually grabbed a star and exited this sea of stars.
After his consciousness returned, only an instant had passed in the outside world. At that moment, a silver-white spear covered in mysterious patterns appeared in his hand.
Looking at the enormous spear, Ye Chen had to admit that this weapon was truly beautiful. A faint halo lingered around it, making it look less like a weapon and more like a work of art.
Then Ye Chen saw the weapon's name on the spear: "Silver Moon."
Looking at the Silver Moon in his hand, Ye Chen casually took out his accompanying sword, Crimson Firmament Sword (Flame Sword), and slashed at it without hesitation.
As far as he was concerned, if this weapon could not even withstand the Crimson Firmament Sword, then there was no need for it to exist.
"Buzz!!"
The two collided, and a buzzing sound rang out. The Silver Moon trembled in his hand, while the halo surrounding it flickered, devouring the force brought down by the sword.
Seeing this, Ye Chen's eyes lit up. He had not expected the halo surrounding the spear to have such an effect.
This effect reminded him of vibranium from the Marvel universe. Moreover, the Silver Moon itself was extremely hard—the Crimson Firmament Sword could not leave even the slightest mark on it.
After swinging it a few times, Ye Chen was thoroughly satisfied with the weapon he had drawn. All he could say was that anything produced by the system was bound to be excellent.
Ye Chen then stored the Silver Moon in his portable space and turned his gaze toward the first-generation Human King Body light orb rewarded by the system.
The Human King Body light orb rewarded by the system was, in essence, a cultivation technique called the Human King Canon, along with some special energy.
The instant his finger touched the Human King Body light orb, a vast stream of information surged into his mind, while the special energy within the orb merged into his body.
As the technique merged into his memories, the Civilization System began guiding his body through its circulation.
In the next moment, an overbearing, sacred aura emerged from Ye Chen's body.
At the same time.
Beyond Blue Star, the countless stars flickered faintly. The starlight of the heavens pierced through the cosmic river of stars, crossing endless light-years as it surged toward Blue Star.
Within Blue Star, auspicious energy rose, and multicolored clouds filled the sky. A vast torrent of starlight pierced through heaven and earth, connecting to Ye Chen.
Outside, after receiving word from Ye Chen, A-Zhui and Angel Yan hurried over. When they saw this scene, their eyes widened, and they could not understand what was happening.
"Ye Chen!!"
Through the great hall, which had been blasted open by the enormous torrent of starlight, A-Zhui looked at Ye Chen sitting cross-legged below, a trace of worry appearing on her face.
"Don't panic. This commotion should have been caused by that fellow Ye Chen. Surely nothing will happen to him."
Seeing how A-Zhui, normally calm and composed, instantly seemed to lose her intelligence whenever Ye Chen was involved, Angel Yan could not help sighing.
"This damn love really harms people. She absolutely must never fall in love. She did not want to end up like this."
The palace below.
Ye Chen's body was like a black hole, frantically devouring the surrounding stellar energy and strengthening his essence, energy, and spirit.
In the end, Blue Star completely fell into darkness. Only a single point of starlight remained shining. The system had drawn in all the sunlight, moonlight, starlight, and energy near Blue Star.
The countless stars projected their starlight one after another. From a distance, it looked like a waterfall formed from starlight—spectacular and terrifying.
This method of advancement was utterly the advancement method of a pauper.
After all, if one had enough energy, who the hell would be willing to painstakingly extract energy from the starry sky and dimensional space-time?
The only drawback of this method of advancement was that it was somewhat slow. As for its advantage, it was extremely economical.
After all, the system had merely lifted a finger throughout the entire process without spending a single cent.
At the same time.
Silver Chain City, Phoenix Sun District.
Su Ma Li frowned as he looked at the sky that had suddenly darkened. "What happened?"
"Bang!!"
At that moment, taking advantage of his momentary distraction, a bullet struck his chest. Looking at his torn clothing, a flash of fury crossed Su Ma Li's eyes.
He turned his gaze toward Li Xiangyang in the distance and crooked a finger. A throwing knife instantly sliced through Li Xiangyang's body, bringing with it a trace of blood.
"Guh..."
Looking at his pierced chest, Li Xiangyang wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, it was filled with blood.
"Thud!!"
His heart shattered, and the strength throughout his body vanished in an instant like silk being pulled apart. His powerless body crashed to the ground.
After glancing at the dead Li Xiangyang, Su Ma Li spread his wings and instantly flew into the air. Looking at the torrent of starlight reaching from heaven to earth in the distance, he thought for a moment, then flew in that direction.
He wanted to see what had happened over there. As for fear—ha, he was the strongest warrior of the Heavenly Palace era, an ancient god-slayer. He feared nothing.
Above the Yanhuang Empire.
A-Zhui watched as the surrounding energy was instantly drained. The suction force even twisted space-time, extracting energy from dimensional space-time whose destination was unknown. She then turned and arrived in outer space, drew her Flame Sword, and began applying to activate Tian Ren Judgment to draw stellar energy.
Seeing this, Angel Yan's face immediately darkened, and she was utterly speechless. She had never expected the angels' ultimate weapon, Tian Ren Judgment, to be treated as a power bank by A-Zhui.
Shaking her head, Angel Yan also went to outer space, drew her Flame Sword, and activated Tian Ren Judgment.
With the assistance of two "power banks" supplying energy, the system's suction force decreased slightly.
Clearly, compared to the energy drawn by the system, the proportion supplied by the two free power banks, A-Zhui and Yan, was far too small.
Ten minutes later.
"Boom!!"
The palace doors opened wide, and Ye Chen stepped out. Billions of strands of radiance descended from the starry sky and enveloped him, making his figure indistinct. His entire person seemed to be the vessel of the starry sky.
"Ye Chen, how are you? Are you all right?!"
Seeing the torrent of starlight disappear, A-Zhui stopped Tian Ren Judgment and rushed toward Ye Chen.
Looking at A-Zhui before him, Ye Chen smiled. "I'm fine. In fact, I feel better than ever."
As he spoke, Ye Chen embraced A-Zhui. "Thank you for that just now."
Hearing this, A-Zhui's face reddened. She was not blind; she could tell that the small amount of stellar energy she had drawn had not played such a great role.
At the same time, she could not help growing curious about what had happened to Ye Chen.
After all, he had just drawn in so much stellar energy and had even forcibly twisted space-time to extract energy from some unknown place. Clearly, the secrets surrounding Ye Chen were extraordinarily profound.
However, since Ye Chen did not say anything, she would not foolishly ask.
After all, everyone had secrets.
