The Heart of the Soul! A terrifying Dark Star talent!

This way, in the future, I'll be able to detect real-world dangers in time while playing the game!

Only after completing all these preparations did Ye Xingyu return to the game.

"deep space, activate!"

The first thing Ye Xingyu did upon returning to the game was to take out the epic grade consumable he had just acquired from his backpack—the darkness crystal!

These consumables are all single-use.

They can only be used by one person.

Therefore, he would definitely keep it for himself.

After looking at the darkness crystal's attributes one more time, Ye Xingyu suppressed the urge in his heart.

"Prompt: You can spend 100 million gold coins to upgrade the quality of the darkness crystal to legendary grade. Do you choose to upgrade?"

"Yes!"

Ye Xingyu reached out and stroked the surface of the darkness crystal.

"Swish!"

An incomparably dazzling golden light instantly enveloped the darkness crystal completely!

Immediately after, strands of green, gold, blue, red, and black—a total of five colors of rainbow aura—completely wrapped around it!

It floated slightly in the air in Ye Xingyu's palms... This time, after a full 10 seconds, the five-colored aura slowly spread outwards.

A "stone" about the size of a palm was revealed again.

"Ding! Congratulations, player! The darkness crystal has successfully evolved! Congratulations on acquiring—Soul of the Heart!"

The surface of this strange stone was red and black.

It was covered with complex patterns, which seemed to be a very special type of inscription.

Ye Xingyu gripped the "stone" in his right hand.

He found that a warm feeling emanated from its interior.

Every two or three seconds, the exterior of the "stone" would emit a dazzling golden light.

Ye Xingyu didn't waste any time.

He quickly checked its attributes!

"Soul of the Heart!"

Item Type: Special Consumable! (Limited to one use!)

Quality: legendary!

Level Requirement: 60

Unique Effect:

After using this item, the user gains the Dark Star's unique Soul Plunder ability.

Soul Plunder: After eliminating a creature, seize 10% of the creature's attributes and remaining lifespan!

If the creature's remaining lifespan is less than 3 years, seize all of the remaining lifespan at once!

Note: This effect only takes effect after personally killing the creature!

..."Wow—! Soul Plunder!"

Don't let the small four-character difference between Soul Plunder and Life Erosion deceive you.

Among the talents of Dark Star Creatures, Life Erosion is the lowest-level talent possessed by all small monsters.

Only the most top-tier Demon Marshals possess the higher-level Soul Plunder talent than Life Erosion!

The most overbearing aspect of Soul Plunder is that, in addition to stripping the defeated opponent's remaining lifespan, it also plunders 10% of its attributes.

In other words, the growth potential of this talent is extremely high!

Once this talent is acquired, humans possess infinite possibilities!

"This is truly amazing! Soul of the Heart is far superior to the previous darkness crystal!"

Ye Xingyu's 100 million gold coins were not spent in vain!

Ye Xingyu clenched the Soul of the Heart tightly in his right palm.

"Ding! Do you want to select yourself as the target for using Soul of the Heart?"

"Note! Once selected, it cannot be reversed! Soul of the Heart is a special one-time consumable and will disappear immediately after use!"

Ye Xingyu chose without hesitation: "Yes!"

"Swish!"

The next second, the Soul of the Heart transformed into a red and black streak of essence light.

It shot into Ye Xingyu's body and completely merged with him!

"Ding! Congratulations, player, you have mastered a new talent—Soul Plunder!"

Soul Plunder: Each time a target is killed, plunder 10% of the target's attributes and 10% of its remaining lifespan! (Limited to monsters personally killed!)

"Hiss!"

"I've really mastered the unique talent of Dark Star Creatures!"

Ye Xingyu stared at his hands in a daze.

In this life, he actually possessed the talent skill of the Dark Star's top-tier Demon Marshals!

It was truly unexpected!

Immediately, Ye Xingyu contacted Bai He via voice.

"Bai He, what's the situation with the large black hole discovered outside the guild's stronghold earlier?"

Bai He immediately replied to him: "Guild Leader! There are still a continuous stream of Dark Star monsters emerging from the black hole."

"However, their emergence rate is far less than when the black castle was present before."

"With our guild's strength, we can temporarily arrange personnel to suppress them!"

Ye Xingyu quickly replied: "That's good, be sure to keep a close watch on that hole."

"I have one more thing I need to arrange for you."

"In the near future, you must always pay attention to any news of other large black holes appearing on the land of Xia Kingdom!"

"Once such a black hole is discovered elsewhere, remember to inform me immediately."

"During this period, communicate more with the officials; their sources of information are more extensive than ours. Collect more news about the Dark Star invasion!"

Bai He responded with a straightforward "Okay."

Then she couldn't help but ask proactively: "Guild Leader, what will you do next?"

Ye Xingyu pondered for a moment: "I always have a bad feeling."

"The Dark Star's invasion might be accelerating."

"Well, I should hurry and clear the 20th floor of the tower of heaven first!"

"This matter is relatively important right now."

..."Ah? Guild Leader, you're going to challenge the 20th floor of the tower of heaven!?!"

Most people struggle to even clear the 2nd floor!

Bai He was so shocked that her small mouth dropped open, her red lips forming a big 'O' shape.

Ye Xingyu's last words to Bai He were: "That's how it is. In short, we must be careful and vigilant during this period, and closely monitor news of the Dark Star!"

"I'm leaving!"

"Beep beep beep..."

The voice call was disconnected.

After ending the call, Ye Xingyu's thoughts were clear.

The pressure from the Dark Star invasion will only grow greater in the future!

I might as well go and get the rewards for clearing the tower of heaven early!

His current level had risen to 60.

Compared to before, he had also replaced his weapons with better legendary grade ones.

He had changed to a mythic grade profession.

He had acquired better talents, and even obtained a new talent similar to that of a Dark Star Demon Marshal.

Now, it was time to challenge the tower of heaven once more!

It is well known that the tower of heaven only offers 'flip card' rewards when clearing integer floors like the 10th, 20th, 30th, and so on.
