Golden Glazed Fruit, Captain Gu Makes a Move!

Claimed?

The women all smiled, a trace of icy chill sweeping through their beautiful eyes.

How precious were heavenly treasures?

How could they possibly be occupied by a group of wet-born, egg-hatched beasts?

Perhaps, in the unknown and endless starry cosmos, stellar behemoths possessed noble bloodlines and extraordinary status, but here on Azure Star... human civilization was the master!

The group paid it no mind, closely following Gu Shuangshuang as they quietly entered the depths of the canyon.

Soon, they saw the situation inside the canyon—

"Hiss..."

The women's expressions shifted slightly.

In the vast canyon, green trees shaded the ground.

One colossal grayish-brown, ape-like giant beast after another played and roamed the valley.

Every single one was enormous, reaching heights of five to six meters, their entire bodies covered in grayish-brown fur, muscles bulging high like small mounds, brimming with explosive power.

Right in the middle of each ape's forehead was a patch of white fur, displaying the dazzling star patterns unique to star beasts.

The star patterns were brilliant, emitting specks of blue light.

Waves of stellar force undulated faintly, spreading outward like the tide, which was quite startling.

At a glance, there were over a hundred starry giant apes.

This was actually a star beast community?

"It's the Mighty Giant Ape!"

Goddess Luo Squad was experienced and recognized this star beast community at a glance.

Their gazes narrowed slightly, and their complexions changed a bit.

The Mighty Giant Ape clan was unremarkable among thousands of star beast communities, and they had slain many themselves.

Yet this group of Mighty Giant Apes before them was somewhat different—their stellar force fluctuations were generally high, far exceeding ordinary one-stripe common-rank star beasts.

"The star patterns are bright, like a dense nebula..."

Lin Yuan also imitated the method taught by Goddess Luo Squad for discerning star beast strength levels, his gaze like a torch as he swept it across the massive star beast group before him.

"One, two, three, four..."

He counted silently, growing more alarmed the more he counted.

"The star patterns on the foreheads of eleven Mighty Giant Apes present the phenomenon of a 'dense nebula'."

"In other words... there are a full eleven lord-rank star beasts here?"

This quantity... was somewhat unexpected.

"Look over there!"

Gu Yiyi suddenly spoke in a low voice, her crystal-clear, doll-like eyes lighting up with dazzling radiance, her face filled with pleasant surprise.

The others looked over and saw that in the deepest part of the valley, a strange fruit tree stood alone in full bloom.

This fruit tree was quite miraculous, emitting a faint golden light. Not only was the thick trunk coated in a golden gauze, but even every single leaf was draped in it, making it exceptionally striking.

And upon the fruit tree were specks of golden light, incomparably dazzling.

Those were golden fruits.

Golden light brilliantly shone, crystal-clear throughout, resembling glazed glass.

"Golden Glazed Fruit!"

The women cried out in alarm, unable to hide the pleasant surprise in their eyes.

No wonder it could gather and attract an entire, massive group of Mighty Giant Apes—it turned out to be the Golden Glazed Fruit!

"Our luck is not bad."

Even Gu Shuangshuang nodded slightly, a smile on her face.

Golden Glazed Fruit?

What kind of thing was that?

Lin Yuan opened his Stellar Communicator, logged onto the Star Warrior Forum, and queried the information on the Golden Glazed Fruit.

The Golden Glazed Fruit belongs to the precious class of heavenly treasures. It glows with a golden hue throughout, and its fruit resembles glazed glass. Absorbing the essence of the sun and moon along with the energy of the starry cosmos, it takes seven years to mature, and it has miraculous effects for warriors of the Mortal Transcendence Realm when tempering their natal stellar force...

There it was.

Looking at the information and data on the Golden Glazed Fruit appearing on his Stellar Communicator, Lin Yuan finally understood why Goddess Luo Squad was so pleasantly surprised.

It was actually a heavenly treasure capable of directly enhancing natal stellar force?

This was precisely the most precious type of heavenly treasure, and the one most deeply craved by countless starry-sky warriors.

Similar to "Starflow Pulp"...

"Good stuff!"

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up; this was precisely what he currently needed.

Seeking Secrets was truly formidable; even from this far away, it allowed him to faintly sense the presence of the Golden Glazed Fruit...

"Only, getting hold of it is a bit troublesome."

His gaze landed on the giant apes scattered throughout the valley, every single one possessing strength superior to the external one-stripe common star beasts, with a full eleven one-stripe lord-rank Mighty Giant Apes rivaling the fourth order of Mortal Transcendence and above.

And...

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Next to the Golden Glazed Fruit tree stood an exceptionally massive Mighty Giant Ape, towering eight to nine meters tall.

This Mighty Giant Ape was clearly different, with a robust physique, majestic eyes, and an upward roar to the skies.

Its massive fists pounded against its chest like rolling thunder.

And the single star pattern upon its forehead was even more incomparably dazzling, strands of stellar force vortices pervading the air, dreamlike and illusory, resembling a patch of the Milky Way.

Bright as the Milky Way!

This was actually a king-rank star beast that had reached the limit of the one-stripe rank!

"This is going to be troublesome."

The women of Goddess Luo Squad slightly furrowed their brows.

The eleven lord-rank Mighty Giant Apes alone were enough to make them go all out without daring to be the least bit careless.

Add to that a Mighty Giant Ape King?

Even they felt it was incomparably tricky.

After all, every single king-rank star beast was basically the king of a community and the most powerful entity within the same realm.

Among them, even Wu Junru, who possessed the strongest strength, could not rival a star beast king single-handedly.

The entire squad had to attack together to have any assurance.

As for a king-rank star beast leading an entire community?

If they went up, they would just be courting death!

The women fell silent for a moment.

Did they have to watch helplessly as these wretched beasts consumed the heavenly treasure?

Of course that was impossible!

"I'll handle it."

A faint voice arrived, as cold as frost.

"After all, it is a precious-class heavenly treasure, something met with by chance and not by seeking. Since we've seen it, we'll just take it along the way."

A tall figure walked out slowly, spirited and heroic.

Gu Shuangshuang!

Captain of Goddess Luo Squad!

A true powerhouse who had stepped into the second realm of the stellar martial path!

The moment she spoke, the people present immediately relaxed, a trace of exhilaration flowing between their brows and eyes.

The captain was finally going to make a move?

Lin Yuan's eyes also lit up, and he couldn't help but look over.

"Swish!"

Gu Shuangshuang's expression was calm, starlight flashed beneath her feet, and her entire figure appeared at the bottom of the canyon as if teleporting.

Her speed was so fast it left people tongue-tied.

"Tap..."

She walked within the canyon with a poised demeanor, as if the hundreds of surrounding Mighty Giant Apes did not exist, not even sparing them a direct look.

"Roar—"

The sudden arrival of a human also caused turmoil within the entire Mighty Giant Ape community; one angry roar after another rose to the heavens, and terrifying stellar force fluctuations immediately surged one after another, poised for action.

"Noisy."

Gu Shuangshuang slightly furrowed her brows.

She stopped in her tracks, raised her head, and swept her gaze around the perimeter.

Then...

"Boom!"

A terrifying stellar force pressure, far surpassing the Mortal Transcendence Realm, was instantly released from within her body.

In an instant, the earth trembled and the hundred beasts were struck with terror.

Even the thousands-of-meters-high mountain peaks and massive ranges all around vibrated slightly, blocks of shattered stone rolling down before being crushed into nothingness.

The entire heaven and earth grew quiet.

With Gu Shuangshuang at the center, the hundreds of Mighty Giant Apes—regardless of whether they were common rank, those eleven lord-rank ones, or even that most terrifying and powerful one-stripe king-rank Mighty Giant Ape—

Were at this moment shocked and brought down to the ground by that unimaginably heavy stellar force pressure, prostrating themselves and unable to rise, their originally fierce gazes replaced by endless panic.

A single person suppressing a hundred star beasts!

Even merely releasing a wisp of stellar force pressure rendered all the star beasts unable to move.

Lin Yuan watched as the space between his brows twitched, calling it utterly absurd.

"Is this the strength of the second realm of star martial arts?"

"Clearly just one realm higher, yet it feels like a completely different dimension..."

"The stellar martial path, ascending to the heavens step by step!"

"It truly lives up to its reputation."
