312: Star power dissipates

In other words, the second option for Tore was a sure-fire win-win.

Lin Tianwei's extravagant behavior also shocked Tore.

He secretly thought, 'A big shot is a big shot, always so generous.'

Don't be fooled by how easily Lin Tianwei captured this spaceship; it might seem like trash.

But that only proves Lin Tianwei's strength, not that the spaceship is trash.

Conservatively estimated, this heavily armed spaceship could definitely sell for tens of thousands of yuan crystal.

Whether for personal use or sale, it was an unimaginable fortune for Tore.

Not only this spaceship, but even the few corpses in the cabin were priceless.

These Cosmic Beasts, far more powerful than Tore, were still a considerable fortune even after death.

Their bodies were still priceless.

As food, as experimental material, or even as material for making puppets, their value could be fully utilized.

However, these valuable items were casually thrown out by Lin Tianwei like trash.

How could Tore not be greatly shocked?

However, looking at the spaceship, which Lin Tianwei had compressed to the size of a fist, Tore found himself in a difficult position.

With his strength, it was impossible for him to possess any outstanding Space Equipment.

At least, he couldn't have Space Equipment large enough to hold this enormous spaceship.

Don't let the spaceship's current fist-sized appearance deceive you.

That was merely an illusion caused by Lin Tianwei's Space Energy compression.

Once an attempt was made to store the spaceship in a spatial dimension, the collision of Space Energy would reveal its true form.

It was a spaceship even larger than the one transformed by Kai.

It was simply not something Tore's cramped Space Equipment could accommodate.

After all, Kai's transformed spaceship was designed for fewer passengers; while more refined, it was clearly not as large as the current spaceship.

Because, in unnecessary situations, Kai would not waste energy that didn't need to be wasted.

The feeling of having such a treasure but being unable to collect it made Tore so uncomfortable he felt like spitting blood.

Slave Space?

Silver light flickered in Tore's single eye.

Unfortunately, he ultimately chose to give up.

The slave space primal stone he had purchased back then was simply too low-grade.

Not only could it not be used as storage space, but it was also countless times smaller than Lin Tianwei's Tiger Tooth Space.

Risk attempting to store this spaceship in it?

While there was an extremely low probability of successful storage, there was a much greater probability that both the Slave Space and the spaceship would be destroyed.

This risk was simply too great.

After a moment of hesitation, Tore ultimately chose to swallow the spaceship into his belly.

Into his internal space.

As long as the Space Energy Lin Tianwei had attached to the spaceship didn't dissipate, this method of storage, though a bit crude, was the most convenient option at the moment.

Feeling the spaceship suspended in his internal space, Tore finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He had gained something from this journey into the Chaos Universe.

However, just then, Tore felt an extremely vast and terrifying Star Power.

Like a terrifying tsunami, it made his body drift with the current, causing him to tremble involuntarily.

This? What's going on? Where did such terrifying Star Power come from?

It's Lord Zeta, it must be Lord Zeta!

Tore quickly came to a conclusion in his heart.

It was just himself and Zeta here; since such a powerful Cosmic Beast couldn't be him, it could only be Zeta.

As expected, Tore looked towards the source of this Star Power and indeed saw Lin Tianwei's familiar figure.

Although he was just sitting there quietly, a terrifying power surrounded him, giving Tore the illusion that Lin Tianwei was being encircled by countless stars.

This was a phenomenon of terrifying Star Power leakage that Tore had never experienced during his own cultivation.

In fact, Star Power leakage during cultivation is a very common phenomenon.

Many Cosmic Beasts cannot fully grasp the powerful Star Power generated by their inner world,

Or they are not skilled enough in controlling Star Power, which leads to such a situation, causing Star Power to escape.

Under normal circumstances, this escape of Star Power would not be too exaggerated, with a maximum of only about thirty percent.

After all, Star Power originates from the stars, and the stars are within the inner world; its roots and source are there, so it is naturally impossible for too much to escape.

This phenomenon of Star Power leakage, although common, and Tore himself often encountered it during cultivation.

After all, very few Cosmic Beasts can completely absorb the Star Power from their inner world.

Because this means they have achieved an extremely terrifying degree of energy control.

Most Cosmic Beasts can only try their best to reduce the leakage of Star Power within their bodies.

After a great deal of effort, Tore has been able to control this Star Power leakage percentage to about five percent.

This isn't because his control over energy is particularly strong.

It's simply because he's been at Planet Level 9 for too long.

Practice makes perfect, and naturally, he can absorb more Star Power per unit of time.

In comparison, Lin Tianwei's control over energy was naturally not weak.

He was a tiger who could use his Origin freely, so it was naturally impossible for him to be unable to control this slightly lower-level Star Power.

Unfortunately, he was currently using Zeta's alias.

To reinforce his true body through this alias would naturally be more troublesome.

This was also why there was Star Power leakage.

Even so, the Star Power that escaped from Lin Tianwei's body was extremely minimal.

It barely reached 0.2 percent.

Compared to the thirty percent upper limit, it was a world of difference.

More Star Power was completely absorbed by Lin Tianwei, transforming into energy to reinforce his own body.

Little by little, Lin Tianwei's body became stronger.

Unfortunately, the target Lin Tianwei wanted to reinforce—the Cosmic Beast Body (Mythical)—was simply too powerful.

Even with Lin Tianwei's intense efforts, he had barely managed to reinforce less than two percent of this body's volume.

Moreover, the Reinforcement targets were mostly placed in relatively important areas.

Such as teeth and claws.

As Lin Tianwei's primary physical attack weapons, these two areas were naturally the first choice for Reinforcement.

However, Tore had no idea what Lin Tianwei's situation truly was.

Now, looking at the vast Star Power emanating from Lin Tianwei's body, he felt a sense of trance.

Such terrifying Star Power utterly shocked Tore.

The Star Power escaping from Lin Tianwei's body per unit of time was even greater than the Star Power that Tore's inner world could produce per unit of time.

It even reached an exaggerated situation of being several times more!

Such a scene truly made Tore feel ashamed.

He secretly thought, 'A big shot is a big shot; the Star Power that merely leaks out is already more than what I can absorb with all my might.'

Five percent?

Or maybe ten percent?

Even twenty percent?

Tore felt that Lin Tianwei's Star Power leakage ratio must have reached an extremely high level; otherwise, it would be impossible for such terrifying Star Power to escape from his body.

He could never have imagined that although Lin Tianwei's body contained only one star,

It was stronger than hundreds or thousands of stars, constantly emitting terrifying Star Power under the enhancement of Talent energy.

The leakage ratio was even less than one percent.

The reason Tore felt such immense Star Power was simply because Lin Tianwei's total Star Power was too vast.

With Tore's limited knowledge, he naturally couldn't know these things.

Now he was a little hesitant.

Hesitating whether or not to cultivate using the Star Power escaping from Lin Tianwei's body.

Lin Tianwei didn't need this Star Power; in fact, he couldn't absorb it fast enough.

But if Tore overstepped, that would truly be courting death.

After a moment of thought, he finally gritted his teeth and approached Lin Tianwei.

Maintaining a relatively appropriate distance, he also sat down in place and began to cultivate.

The reason Tore dared to do that wasn't because he had grown reckless.

It was just that he suddenly understood one thing:

That this Star Power, which was incredibly precious to him, was nothing more than exhaust gas in Lin Tianwei's eyes,

It was simply not worthy of Lin Tianwei's attention.

This could be seen from the fact that Lin Tianwei had no intention of collecting this Star Power at all.

It was precisely because of this that Tore dared to act so boldly.

At the same time, he also realized that Lin Tianwei's strength might be even greater than he had imagined.

At least in terms of perspective, he was far superior to the vast majority of strong individuals.

Thinking this, Tore no longer hesitated and began to absorb the free-floating Star Power in the air.

Although Lin Tianwei didn't value this leaked Star Power, for Tore, it was a terrifying treasure.

As long as he could successfully absorb this Star Power, Tore's cultivation speed could at least double.

A twofold difference might not seem like much, but accumulated over time, it was enough to cause a qualitative change.

As the leaked Star Power in the air was gradually absorbed into Tore's body, his body also began to tremble.

Not from fear, but from excitement.

Because he discovered that the Star Power emanating from Lin Tianwei was incredibly pure,

It was something his own mottled Star Power simply couldn't compare to.

So pure that Tore even had an illusion.

An illusion that he was absorbing the Origin itself.

Unfortunately, no matter how pure this Star Power was, it was still just Star Power and wouldn't reach the level of Origin.

Otherwise, to be able to freely inhale and exhale Origin, such a thing would truly be too shocking.

Tore probably never imagined that while Lin Tianwei couldn't freely inhale and exhale Origin, he was pretty close.

He could even eat Origin like candy, which was truly the consumption method of a super-rich individual.

However, doing so was not without its benefits.

At least, because the vast majority of energy Lin Tianwei absorbed came from the Origin, his foundation was extremely solid.

Under the same circumstances, he could completely unleash greater combat power with a more solid foundation.

The moment he discovered that the Star Power emanating from Lin Tianwei's body was extraordinary, Tore made a choice.

He directly gave up absorbing the Star Power from his inner world and instead began to absorb the Star Power in the air.

This incredibly pure Star Power seemed only slightly more abundant than the Star Power produced within Tore's body.

In fact, because Tore couldn't fully absorb it, a portion of it was still scattered in the air.

In terms of quantity, it was even slightly inferior.

However, due to its incredible purity, it was very easy to absorb, and there was no need to filter out impurities hidden within the Star Power.

In terms of cultivation effect, compared to absorbing the Star Power produced within Tore's inner world, it was at least five times faster, if not more.

This discovery instantly made Tore feel as if he was in paradise.

Five times, that's five times the cultivation speed.

Not only could it accelerate his cultivation, but it also had extremely special effects.

For example, assisting Tore in breaking through to a higher realm—Star-level!

In fact, Tore, who had been at Planet Level 9 for a long time, had long prepared the materials for breaking through to Star-level.

He had just been struggling to find the miracle for breakthrough, so he hadn't dared to attempt it.

After all, although the risk of breaking through from Planet Level 9 to Stellar Level 1st Grade was very small, it wasn't entirely without risk.

Once the breakthrough failed, a planet would be lost.

The hard-won balance maintained in the inner world would instantly shatter.

Even if there was no life-threatening danger, it would at least cause Tore to lose combat effectiveness for a short period.

Moreover, he would have to find a meteorite to reconstruct the balance of his inner world, which was extremely time-consuming and laborious.

For Tore, who was a lone wolf, this risk was simply too great.

And now, he seemed to have found the opportunity for a breakthrough.

He was currently in the Chaos Universe, unknown to any beasts, and enjoyed Lin Tianwei's protection, so there was naturally no danger.

Not only that, these pure Star Power also provided Tore with the opportunity for a breakthrough.

In fact, breaking through from Planet Level 9 to Stellar Level 1st Grade was not as difficult as imagined.

It only required the strength of the internal planet to meet the standard, and then find a powerful energy strong enough to improve the quality of the planet.

This energy could be a large quantity of Star Power, or incredibly precise Star Power.

It could even be Origin, this pure and vast special energy.

Star Power is generated by the operation of planets, and it can also feed back into the planets, allowing them to advance.

However, these three methods each have their advantages and disadvantages.

The first method relies purely on the quantity of Star Power.

Vast but impure Star Power, even containing many impurities, could potentially evolve a planet into a star, or it could just as easily cause the planet to explode.

This is also the riskiest method.

As for the second method?

It's fairly standard, with no obvious pros or cons.

The only drawback might be that Cosmic Beasts with insufficient foundations, like Tore, simply cannot obtain such precise Star Power.

As for using Origin for breakthrough? This is absolutely a foolproof method.

It only takes less than 0.1 units of Origin to allow a Cosmic Beast to painlessly break through to Stellar Level 1st Grade. (End of chapter)
