Big Brother appeared again, then was killed again.
Only when he was set to stellar level six did Big Brother finally fight Chu Yuan to a standstill.
But after more than a hundred exchanges of fierce combat, he was still slain by Chu Yuan.
Only when he was set to stellar level seven did Big Brother finally turn the tables and kill Chu Yuan once.
"Killing a sixth-order opponent at the second order, crossing four orders to kill an enemy-is it that I'm too strong? Or is Big Brother too weak?"
Chu Yuan did not know where Big Brother's abilities ranked, so he could not make a specific assessment yet.
But being able to cross four orders to kill an enemy proved that Chu Yuan's talent and combat skills were not as poor as he had originally thought.
He had previously used Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God as benchmarks, forgetting that all three were geniuses among geniuses.
Luo Feng went without saying; Hong and Thunder God had both comprehended domains at the planetary level.
Compared with them, he was naturally very poor at the same level.
But compared with someone at the star level like Big Brother, he was still very strong.
"Great. Now my confidence is back."
Chu Yuan continued fighting, always using Big Brother as his opponent.
The first time, he set up 100 Big Brothers, each with star level 4 strength.
Chu Yuan fought for five minutes and killed all 100 Big Brothers.
The second time, he again set up 100 Big Brothers, all with star level 5 strength.
Chu Yuan fought for three minutes and killed 79 Big Brothers before finally being beheaded with a single slash.
The third time, he set up 10 Big Brothers, each with stellar level six strength.
Chu Yuan did not choose a head-on assault, instead fighting on the move and defeating them one by one.
After fighting for two minutes and killing two Big Brothers, he was stabbed through the chest.
Afterward, Chu Yuan set himself as his opponent, also at star level second order. After two hundred exchanges of fierce combat, he slew his opponent with difficulty.
But when he set himself as his opponent a second time, Chu Yuan could no longer win.
Through the previous battles, the Virtual Universe had already fully recorded Chu Yuan's blade techniques, movement techniques, combat skills, and power exertion.
The newly generated opponent surpassed Chu Yuan in every respect. In just two slashes, his head was cut off.
Chu Yuan knew that this was the Killing Field's true purpose.
Only by knowing his weaknesses could he know how to improve.
After that, Chu Yuan kept using himself as his opponent, fighting relentlessly.
10 battles, 20 battles, 50 battles, 100 battles.
He fought 500 consecutive battles, dying in two slashes at the quickest and lasting through seven at the longest.
Chu Yuan was exhausted, but he felt exhilarated.
The opponent generated by the Killing Field also used the Falling Flame Blade Technique, but his execution was far more perfect than Chu Yuan's.
The Falling Flame Blade Technique was one of the universe-level secret techniques passed down in the Leinuo Family.
Chu Yuan had begun practicing this secret technique at age six. Twenty-four years had passed since then, and he had long since reached the artistic conception level.
Yet compared with the generated opponent, Chu Yuan felt that his blade and movement techniques were riddled with openings.
Chu Yuan continued fighting and correcting his shortcomings like this, spending more than 10 hours in the Killing Field every day.
He was either fighting or studying his blade and movement techniques.
For another ten hours, he absorbed Wood Bud Crystals to improve his genetic origin energy.
The aptitude and comprehension granted by his domain lord level bloodline took effect imperceptibly. Chu Yuan progressed rapidly, growing stronger every day.
Time flew, and 30 days passed in the blink of an eye.
"Master, we're almost at Proxima Centauri."
That day, Feiluan issued a reminder.
"Understood."
Chu Yuan left the Killing Field, disconnected from the Virtual Universe, and returned to reality.
He removed his consciousness-sensing helmet and took a deep breath.
The Dragon Abyss returned to the Primal Universe, and a peculiar planet appeared ahead.
That planet was surrounded by three stars. It was actually a three-body star system.
"The system shows a death rate of %. It's small, but I can't be careless."
Following his usual procedure, Chu Yuan had Feiluan scan Proxima Centauri before landing to see how many powerful individuals existed on the planet.
Feiluan soon completed the scan and provided the information.
[Proxima Centauri, diameter: kilometers, approximately 12.7 billion life-forms, star level: 0, planetary level: 0, apprentice level: 36. Relatively advanced technology; has initially entered the interstellar age and possesses 19 interstellar fleets.] [Proxima Centauri's network infiltrated. Gathering intelligence. Intelligence gathering complete.]
Large numbers of videos and classified documents appeared on the three-dimensional screen. At this moment, Proxima Centauri held no secrets before Chu Yuan.
"Impressive. They actually managed to build B6-grade spaceships on their own."
Chu Yuan watched the interstellar fleets in the videos. Their capital ships were all capable of traveling between star systems.
Although they could not reach light speed and enter the Dark Universe, according to their data, the fastest ships in Proxima Centauri's fleets could reach one-tenth the speed of light.
For an indigenous civilization that had developed independently, this was already an extraordinary achievement.
Their laser cannons were also very powerful. A saturation bombardment was enough to annihilate first- or second-order star level warriors.
"Looks like that % death rate comes from these laser cannons."
Having seen through the other side's trump cards, Chu Yuan immediately took action.
The Dragon Abyss flew brazenly toward Proxima Centauri. Neither Proxima Centauri's fleets stationed in space nor its hundreds of thousands of satellites detected its arrival in the slightest.
This was absolute domination in technological sophistication.
The Dragon Abyss entered the atmosphere and hovered above a mountain range.
Chu Yuan walked out of the hatch with his bodyguards and descended into the mountains.
"Master, the fortuitous opportunity is 90,000 meters beneath the mountain range."
Feiluan spoke from beside him.
Chu Yuan nodded and ordered the slaves, "Dig it open."
Four star level 9 spirit readers simultaneously controlled their telekinetic weapons to dig a tunnel. A mere 90,000 meters took them less than five minutes to dig through.
"Leave four people on guard. Everyone else, come down with me."
"Yes, Master!"
The slaves cleared the way in front, with Chu Yuan following behind.
They descended 90,000 meters underground, where an underground cavern housed a battered spaceship lying quietly within.
"Master, it's E-grade alloy. This is an E-grade spaceship."
Feiluan spoke after scanning it.
"Understood."
An E-grade spaceship, if intact, could sell for at least 1 trillion Universe Coins, or 1 Hunyuan Unit.
"Unfortunately, it's damaged, and very thoroughly at that."
Chu Yuan felt somewhat regretful, but the wreckage before him was still very valuable.
Even sold purely as raw material, E-grade alloy could fetch a large sum.
"Take the wreckage with us when we leave."
Chu Yuan glanced at the spaceship and entered its interior through a breach.
Everywhere he looked, there were rocks, soil, and dust. Some of the wreckage had even fused with the mountain itself.
One thing was certain: this spaceship had crashed here a very, very long time ago, possibly even before Proxima Centauri's entire civilization.
They reached the main control room, whose hatch was also damaged, exposing a large hole.
It was pitch-black inside. Rather than entering immediately, Chu Yuan ordered the slaves, "Meng Yi, Meng Er, go in and take a look."
"Yes."
Meng Yi and Meng Er nodded and entered the main control room one after the other.
The next second, their excited voices rang out simultaneously.
"Master, come in, quickly!"
"Treasures! It's all treasure in here!"
"Heavens, there's so much! Far too much!"
"There's no danger here! Only treasure!"
The two completely lost control of their emotions, unable to remain calm at all.
After confirming there was no danger, Chu Yuan entered the main control room with his remaining bodyguards.
The main control room was large and circular, over 380 meters in diameter, larger than many spaceships.
And what lay before Chu Yuan now was treasure everywhere.
All kinds of Origin Force weapons, Force Battle Suits, technological weapons, metal ores, materials, and mountains of Universe Coins and Ganwu Coins.
Chu Yuan's eyes instantly reddened, and his heart pounded violently, almost leaping out of his throat.
