99: Chapter 99 150,000! This broken bone can devour stars?!

[Devour Failed.]

These four words were like a bucket of ice water poured from head to toe.

Su Ming stared at the charred, broken bone in his palm, then looked at the cold red prompt in his field of vision, stunned on the bed.

The fat meat in his mouth couldn't be eaten?!

It felt like... I've already opened the romantic room, and you're telling me your relatives are visiting!

When people are anxious, their IQ tends to go offline.

Refusing to give up, he changed positions, clamping the broken bone under his armpit like he was twisting open a stubborn bottle cap.

"Devour!"

[Devour Failed.]

He pressed the broken bone under his butt, trying to use his entire body weight to "persuade" it.

"Devour!"

[Devour Failed.]

After struggling for a long time, there was still no result.

The System was like a broken record, repeating nothing but failure.

Su Ming climbed up from the floor, his hair a mess.

Did he have to use the Source Energy of this world to activate it?

But he, a cheater, had nothing to do with the Source Energy Cultivation System!

He was just an iron lump wearing human skin.

Conventional physical devouring couldn't deconstruct high-dimensional matter...

Did he need a higher life form? He still had 60% of the path to go before reaching the Second Form!

Su Ming plopped back onto the bed, looking at the fire poker in his hand, a wave of regret rising within him.

If he had known, he would have taken the skeleton of that Golden Winged Roc instead!

He opened his panel.

[mass points: 30,100].

The System valued that Roc skeleton at 40,000 points.

Adding the leftover Source Beast carcasses in the System space, gathering a total of 20,000 points shouldn't be a problem.

Put together, he would easily cross the 100,000 mark and advance directly to Rank 4 Gold.

Now, because of this unchewable broken bone, he had missed out on 90,000 points!

A huge loss! A total disaster!

The more Su Ming thought about it, the angrier he got, wishing he could rush back to the Scrap Yard right now and swap goods with that old fox, Shen Hongyuan.

Just as he was restless, even considering finding 20,000 mass points and temporarily giving up on this broken bone, the System panel suddenly flickered.

A hidden option he had never seen before quietly appeared.

[Detected that the host has sufficient mass points. Do you want to consume 10,000 mass points to forcibly activate "High-Dimensional Analysis" the System?]

[Yes / No]

Su Ming's breath hitched. 10,000 points?

This System is really squeezing blood from a stone! Your heart is blacker than pitch!

Just one analysis costs 10,000 points, a price enough for him to buy a whole set of Tier 2 exotic beast Materials on the black market.

Looking at the 30,000+ mass points he had painstakingly saved, his heart bled.

This was all his hard-earned money!

But those six question marks...

[Estimated convertible mass points: ? ? ? ? ? ?]

The unknown represents infinite possibilities.

Things that even old monsters like Shen Hongyuan couldn't fathom were absolutely beyond imagination!

Take a gamble, and a bicycle becomes a motorcycle!

Su Ming gritted his teeth, his gaze instantly turning resolute.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained!

He steeled his heart and fiercely tapped "Yes" on the virtual panel!

[Ding! 10,000 mass points deducted. Starting analysis!]

Hum—!

The moment he confirmed it, the lifeless black bone suddenly began to vibrate violently!

A majestic dark golden light erupted from the countless tiny pores on the bone's surface, instantly engulfing the entire cramped low-rent apartment.

The walls, the ceiling, the new bed he had just bought... everything dissolved in the light.

Su Ming widened his eyes in horror, discovering he was no longer in that dilapidated room.

He was in a vast, boundless sea of stars!

Countless stars and nebulae formed magnificent vortices, slowly rotating around him.

And deep within that endless sea of stars, the phantom of a terrifying giant beast, too huge to be described by any language, was slowly emerging.

It was pitch black, its outline blurred, composed of the purest Void Realm.

It just hovered there quietly, causing the surrounding light to distort.

He saw it slowly open its abyss-like mouth and take a gentle breath.

A lonely, pale blue planet phantom floating in front, along with a large surrounding meteorite belt, was swallowed into its belly like a jellybean, chewed, and swallowed.

The whole process was quiet, elegant, yet filled with indescribable horror!

Just as Su Ming was shocked to the core by this earth-shattering scene, lines of striking golden characters scrolled wildly across the vast sea of stars!

[High-Dimensional Analysis Successful!]

[Target confirmed: Remains of a Starry Sky Giant Beast (Juvenile)!]

[Species Rank: Universe-level Disaster Creature. Adults feed on planets, extreme overlords can consume stars.]

[Current Status: Law completely exhausted, energy depleted. Residual mass density is extremely high; trace amounts of "Void Realm Origin" remain in the bone marrow.]

[Re-estimated convertible mass points: 150,000!]

[Extremely low probability of capturing "Void Realm Law Fragment"!]

"Hiss—" Su Ming gasped, his heart about to jump out of his throat!

150,000! A full 150,000 mass points! A fifteen-fold return!

Where the hell is this a fire poker? This is clearly a Golden Cudgel that can pierce the heavens!

Su Ming was trembling with excitement, roaring at the void: "What are you waiting for! Hurry! Hurry up and devour it for me!"

However, the System poured another bucket of cold water on him.

[Analysis complete, but the host's current life form is insufficient, unable to directly devour.]

[Must pay another 10,000 mass points to activate "Simulated Devouring" temporary permission to forcibly refine this high-dimensional matter.]

The ecstasy on Su Ming's face froze instantly. Another 10,000 points?

"You damn, skin-flaying, profiteering System!" Su Ming cursed.

He seriously suspected that this System had been setting him up from the beginning!

First, using 10,000 points to whet his appetite, and after he saw the huge return of 150,000, it raised the price on the spot!

Bastard System! You're dirtier than those scammers on Blue Star who sell health supplements to rip off the elderly!

But... he had no choice.

With 150,000 mass points in front of him, let alone another 10,000, even if it required him to run naked down the street right now, he would have to seriously consider the feasibility.

This wave, not a loss! It's a huge profit!

Once he devoured this thing, Rank 4 would be within reach! And the Second Life Form would also be activated!

Su Ming's eyes turned red, and he squeezed two words out from between his teeth. "Pay!"

[Ding! 10,000 mass points deducted. "Simulated Devouring" permission activated.]

A total of 20,000 points was thrown in.

The microscopic black hole in his left palm, which had only been slightly distorted, suddenly evolved at this moment!

A deeply profound galactic vortex slowly formed in his palm, emitting a terrifying suction force that devoured everything!

The galactic phantom before his eyes instantly faded, and Su Ming found himself still sitting on the newly bought iron bed.

But he knew, everything had changed.

He slammed the galactic vortex in his palm onto the black bone!

"Devour!"

(Heading home on the subway, there will be another chapter tonight!)
