Weapon Silver Moon, Stars Shine the Heavens

Gazing at the star-filled sky, Ye Chen casually swept his hand, and the countless stars surged.

With a thought, his figure appeared before any given star.

Looking at these identical stars, Ye Chen picked and chose, unsure which one to take—such was the trouble of lottery draws, because he wanted them all.

But unfortunately, he could only pick one. In the end, he grabbed a star at random and withdrew from this sea of stars.

When his awareness returned, only an instant had passed in the outside world. Now in his hand appeared a silver-white long spear, adorned with mysterious patterns.

Looking at this great spear, Ye Chen had to admit its aesthetic appeal was truly remarkable. A faint halo lingered around it, making it seem less like a weapon and more like a work of art.

Then Ye Chen spotted the weapon's name on the spear: "Silver Moon."

Holding Silver Moon in hand, Ye Chen casually drew his sword, Chixiao (Sword of Flames), and without hesitation slashed directly at it.

For him, if this weapon couldn't even withstand Chixiao, then it had no reason to exist.

"Woom!!"

As the two clashed, a humming sound rang out. Silver Moon trembled in his hand, its outer halo flickering as it devoured the force of the sword's strike.

Seeing this, Ye Chen's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected that the halo enveloping the spear had such an effect.

This effect reminded him of vibranium from the Marvel world. Moreover, Silver Moon itself was extremely hard—Chixiao couldn't even leave a single scratch on it.

After swinging it a few times, Ye Chen's eyes showed great satisfaction with this lottery prize. All he could say was: system products are always top-notch.

Then Ye Chen stored Silver Moon into his Portable Space and turned his gaze to the First Generation Human King Body light orb rewarded by the system.

The Human King Body light orb from the system was essentially a cultivation method, the Human King Canon, along with some special energy.

The moment his finger touched the Human King Body light orb, a vast torrent of information surged into his mind, while the special energy within the orb merged into his body.

As the method integrated into his memory, the Civilization System began guiding his body to circulate the technique.

The next moment, a domineering, sacred aura emanated from Ye Chen's body.

At the same time.

Outside Blue Star, countless stars flickered faintly. The starlight of all heavens pierced through the cosmic river, crossing endless light-years to rush toward Blue Star.

Within Blue Star, auspicious vapors rose, colorful clouds filled the sky, and a massive Stellar Torrent pierced heaven and earth, connecting to Ye Chen's body.

Outside, having rushed over after receiving Ye Chen's message, A Zhui and Angel Yan saw this scene. Their eyes widened, unsure what was happening.

"Ye Chen!!"

Through the hall breached by the enormous Stellar Torrent, A Zhui looked down at Ye Chen sitting cross-legged below, a hint of worry appearing on her face.

"Don't panic. This commotion should be that guy Ye Chen's doing. It probably won't cause any trouble," Angel Yan said with a sigh, watching how the usually calm and steady A Zhui seemed to lose her wits the moment Ye Chen was involved.

"This damn love really messes people up. She'll never fall in love—she doesn't want to end up like this."

Below, in the palace.

Ye Chen's body was like a black hole, frantically devouring the surrounding stellar energy, strengthening his Essence, Qi, and Spirit.

Finally, the entire Blue Star turned pitch black, with only a single point of starlight shining. The system had sucked in all the sunlight, moonlight, and starlight near Blue Star—every bit of energy.

Countless stars cast their light, looking from afar like a waterfall of starlight—spectacular and terrifying.

And this method of advancement was entirely the poor man's way.

After all, if one had enough energy, who the hell would bother painstakingly extracting energy from the stars and dimensional spacetime?

The only downside to this method was that it was a bit slow. As for the upside? It was very cheap.

Because the system did all the work without spending a single cent.

Meanwhile.

Silver Chain City, Fengyang District.

Sumari looked at the sky that had suddenly gone dark and frowned: "What's happening?"

"Bang!!"

Just as he was distracted, a bullet struck his chest. Looking at his damaged clothes, Sumari's eyes flashed with anger.

His gaze turned to Li Xiangyang in the distance. With a flick of his finger, a flying knife instantly slashed across Li Xiangyang's body, drawing a trace of blood.

"Heh heh..."

Looking at the hole pierced through his chest, Li Xiangyang tried to speak, but found his mouth full of blood.

"Thud!!"

His heart shattered, all strength in his body drained away like silk being pulled, and his body fell limply to the ground.

Glancing at the dead Li Xiangyang, Sumari spread the wings on his back and instantly flew into the air. Looking at the Stellar Torrent that connected heaven and earth in the distance, he thought for a moment, then flew toward it.

He wanted to see what was happening over there. As for fear? Hah, 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 energy around her was instantly drained, and this suction force even twisted spacetime, drawing power from dimensional voids leading to unknown places. She immediately turned and flew into space, pulled out the Sword of Flames, and began activating Heavenly Blade Judgment to channel stellar energy.

Seeing this, Angel Yan's face darkened with speechless exasperation. She never expected that the angels' ultimate weapon, Heavenly Blade Judgment, would be used by A Zhui as a glorified power bank.

Shaking her head, Angel Yan also stepped into space, drew her Sword of Flames, and activated Heavenly Blade Judgment.

With two "power banks" now assisting in energy supply, the system's suction eased by a fraction.

Clearly, compared to the energy the system was drawing, A Zhui and Yan's free contributions were negligible.

Ten minutes later.

"Boom!!"

The hall doors swung wide open. Ye Chen strode out, bathed in billions of rays of light cascading down from the starry sky, shrouding his figure in a blur and making him appear as if he were the very vessel of the cosmos.

"Ye Chen, how are you? Are you alright?!"

Seeing the Stellar Torrent vanish, A Zhui stopped Heavenly Blade Judgment and rushed straight to Ye Chen.

Looking at A Zhui before him, Ye Chen smiled. "I'm fine. In fact, I feel better than I ever have before."

With that, he embraced A Zhui. "Thank you for earlier."

Hearing this, A Zhui's face flushed. She wasn't blind—she could tell that the stellar energy she had channeled barely made a difference.

At the same time, curiosity stirred within her about what had happened to Ye Chen.

After all, the sheer amount of stellar energy he had drawn, along with his ability to forcibly twist spacetime and siphon power from some unknown realm, clearly indicated that Ye Chen harbored immense secrets.

But since Ye Chen didn't bring it up, she wouldn't be foolish enough to pry.

After all, everyone has their secrets.
