Shield—Eternal Sun Wall

"What?! A red Star Weapon?"

Feng Xiao focused his mind and directly opened the Heart of Dawn.

[Scanning location: Around the central star]

[Coordinates: ...]

Wang Hao was startled by Feng Xiao suddenly rising to his feet. "Boss?"

Feng Xiao did not explain. Instead, he activated the main cannon again—this time at 100% power!

At the same time, all four ship cannons entered high-power operation, continuously raining fire upon the distant spaceport.

Faced with the Star Origin's suddenly increased firepower, the remaining Oglia fleet only managed two rounds of retaliation before being completely scattered.

If the four ship cannons had only destroyed a dozen or so light warships in a short time, then Fierce Star at full power pierced straight through the entire enemy fleet!

Before the fleet could even disperse, Fierce Star's full-power attack destroyed more than half of it. Thirty or forty light warships turned into fireballs.

Meanwhile, despite enduring concentrated fire from numerous light warships, the Star Origin's shields had only dropped by 45%, while the rest of the ship was almost entirely undamaged.

"One full-power shot consumes 50 Star Points. Our reserves are still plentiful—keep firing!"

After glancing at the bombardment costs, Feng Xiao completely let loose. Compared to ordinary warships, the Star Origin had fewer weapons, but their quality was absolutely terrifying.

No matter how the scattered light warships retaliated, they could not escape destruction.

Moreover, Oglia's combat faith seemed extremely strong. Almost no warships fled, making the following slaughter even easier.

Two days later, every building and life-form on the entire Oglia planet had been wiped out. Having gained over eighty-four thousand Star Points, the Star Origin headed toward the system's central star.

[Arrived at coordinate location!]

"That's right. The coordinates indicate this exact location."

After verifying them, Wang Hao walked to Feng Xiao's side and spoke.

Feng Xiao nodded, his gaze fixed on the simulated external environment as he tried to find that red Star Weapon!

Suddenly, a tiny black dot appeared in Feng Xiao's field of vision. Its location was practically against the star's surface.

This was not the Sun from his previous life. It was a super-sun that emitted blue light, with enough gravitational force to capture hundreds of planets!

Its surface temperature reached hundreds of thousands of degrees. Even the Mystic Azure Armor currently equipped on the Star Origin, with its degree of temperature resistance, absolutely could not endure it!

Not to mention that such a star's cosmic radiation was equally terrifying.

In short, a fully charged set of azure armor would dissipate in just ten seconds.

"Magnify that black dot."

As the detection equipment activated, the distant black dot rapidly enlarged. The moment its true form was revealed, both men froze.

They saw a triangular construct, one hundred thousand meters in diameter and colored gold and silver, floating there.

The construct was severely warped and deformed in many places, with numerous huge holes torn through it.

Even so, a faint golden shield flickered around it, warding off the terrifying heat.

It seemed that this unknown construct had been here for an extremely long time!

Feng Xiao instantly determined that the shield-type red Star Weapon was definitely on that construct.

It was not a starship, but a war construct belonging to an unknown native civilization from another universe!

As for why it had mutated into a Star Weapon, that was something to ask the mysterious laws of the universe.

"Boss... you aren't..."

Wang Hao looked at him in bewilderment.

Feng Xiao answered firmly, "That's right. There's a red Star Weapon there. You should understand how valuable a red Star Weapon is now, right?"

"Yes, but by the time we get close to that warship, our shields will probably have already lost most of their energy. And we still have to search for the Star Weapon. There's no way we'd have a chance to escape."

Wang Hao explained helplessly.

Feng Xiao smiled calmly. "Star Weapons on combat-incapable starships from other universes are classified as loot Star Weapons. As long as we get within ten kilometers, we can recover them directly into the starship's storage.

"As long as we seize those few seconds three days from now when we return, then return to the Main Universe within seconds of obtaining the Star Weapon, the star's heat and cosmic radiation won't be able to do anything to us."

Hearing this, Wang Hao, who was already the same kind of person as Feng Xiao, immediately agreed to the plan.

He simply did not want to face a situation with a 100% chance of death. But as long as there was even a 1% possibility, he would do it without hesitation.

"Find a suitable angle and distance. Calculate the distance between the Star Origin and that warship."

[Calculation complete...]

"Boss, what if the Oglia Civilization's support fleet arrives within these three days?"

Wang Hao suddenly asked.

"Li-style Particles can disrupt spatial constants, and their signal-blocking capabilities are extremely powerful. A mere Level Two Civilization's communication methods cannot possibly break through them."

Feng Xiao was not worried in the slightest. Back then, in order to test the effects of Li-style Particles, the Li Group had used vast quantities of them to blanket a certain Level Four Civilization's territory in another universe, along with dozens of nearby light-years.

It instantly paralyzed all transportation and communication methods throughout that Level Four Civilization, throwing it into chaos and unrest.

Even a Level Four Civilization in the Main Universe that was hostile toward humanity had been sealed off this way for centuries, ultimately causing the entire civilization to split apart.

All faster-than-light and spatial technology became useless, while communication methods were completely locked down. Faced with a territory so vast that even traveling at light speed would take a thousand years to reach its borders, division was inevitable.

Unless it was a Level Five Civilization, no one could possibly crack Li-style Particles.

After footage of those two practical demonstrations spread, Li-style Particles became almost essential equipment for every low-level starship.

There seemed to be a Li Group branch in the Violet Kingdom in the central region of the Morton Galaxy. Word was that it had plenty of good stuff. I need to find time to visit it.

Feng Xiao suddenly thought of this.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Watching the countdown until the end of this hunt in another universe reach twenty seconds, Feng Xiao and Wang Hao exchanged grave looks.

19, 18... 16...

At the instant the final ten seconds began, the Star Origin launched forward at full speed, hurtling toward the warship. The rapidly soaring temperature began frantically draining the Star Origin's shields.

The shield energy continued to plummet at a visible rate!

"Five seconds left!"

Just as the Star Origin was about to crash into the warship, mysterious and unfathomable laws instantly pulled the Star Origin back into the Main Universe.

Only scattered starlight decorated the vast, silent universe.

Then a ripple in space completely shattered that silence.

"Boss! How did it go?"

Rubbing his groggy head, Wang Hao asked eagerly.

Feng Xiao laughed heartily. "We succeeded!"

Wang Hao immediately cheered.

"Quick, check the data."

Feng Xiao and Wang Hao looked at each other, barely able to suppress their excitement.

Powerful! Too powerful!

"Hahaha, Boss, once our starship reaches Lv. 21, we can equip it. By then, we could probably just sit there and let starships of the same level attack us without any problem!"

Wang Hao burst into laughter.

Feng Xiao also smiled. "Looks like our Star Origin is heading down the path of an exploration starship with no turning back."

For exploration, survival and defensive power were the key!

"The second hunt of this month is over. Let's keep moving!"

"You got it!"

Watching Wang Hao return to grinding the game, Feng Xiao smiled and glanced at the two photos in his hand.

The first showed the Star Origin charging toward that warship, taken by the robot they had left behind. The massive blue star filled the entire background.

The other was a selfie he had taken while standing on the warship's bridge, with the endless star behind him as well.

He casually tucked them into the Explorer's Diary, added a serial number, and wore a satisfied expression.

"So handsome..."
