315: Chaos Crystal

Lin Tianwei believed that even if Tore were given ten thousand guts, he would not dare to steal his belongings.

Moreover, this was only the first harvest since entering the core area.

As long as Tore wasn't too stupid, he would absolutely not do anything irrational.

Tore cautiously took the wreckage Lin Tianwei handed over and patiently examined it.

After a simple observation of the wreckage's exterior, Tore's attention was mostly focused on the silver light within it.

It seemed these silver lights were the most important basis for determining the wreckage's true identity.

The moment the wreckage left Lin Tianwei's hand and came into Tore's, the silver light on it changed.

Like it had been dispersed, it directly transformed from two massive light clusters into countless specks of light.

Upon closer inspection, it gave a feeling reminiscent of a galaxy.

As Tore's contact with the wreckage lengthened, a miraculous change occurred on the wreckage.

As if influenced by some mysterious power, the specks of light on it began to move again.

Before long, they transformed into nine light clusters.

Three large and six small, they were operating in a very stable state.

Looking at the wreckage, which had suddenly changed, a thought abruptly arose in Lin Tianwei's mind, and he formed an initial judgment on its function.

Tore's subsequent words happened to corroborate Lin Tianwei's guess, as he said, "Respected Zeta, if I'm not mistaken, this wreckage should be a Chaos Crystal."

"Although Chaos Crystal has the name 'crystal,' its function is completely different from cultivation aids like yuan crystal."

"Its primary use is detection."

"Through sensing the Star Power within a Cosmic Beast's body, it can outline the general appearance of the target Cosmic Beast's inner world."

"For example, right now, these nine silver light clusters, three large and six small, correspond precisely to my cultivation realm—Star-level Stage Three."

"The three large light clusters correspond to the planets I have already cultivated to Star-level."

"The six small light clusters correspond to the planets that are still in the Planetary-level stage."

"Besides passively detecting the holder's strength and realm, Chaos Crystal can also actively determine the target's strength under the owner's manipulation."

"However, I am not very knowledgeable and have not mastered the relevant methods."

"But it is said to not be difficult; with Zeta's strength, it is estimated that he would only need to explore a little to master this technique."

At this point, Tore suddenly hesitated.

Because he recalled how the wreckage behaved in Lin Tianwei's hand, a performance that completely exceeded his expectations.

He did not see the imagined hundred stars, nor did he see the imagined sky full of stars.

Tore never expected that when Lin Tianwei held this Chaos Crystal, only two planets would appear.

In other words, if the Chaos Crystal's judgment was not mistaken, this seemingly incredibly powerful Cosmic Beast possessed only Planetary-level Stage Two strength.

What a joke!

How could the incredibly powerful Zeta only have Planetary-level Stage Two strength?

Even if he admitted it, the countless Cosmic Beasts who died at Zeta's hands would not.

Although he had never heard of a Chaos Crystal making a wrong judgment, at worst, the Chaos Crystal would be unable to assess the target's internal situation, and the silver light would once again transform into countless stars.

But Tore trusted his own judgment and believed even more in Zeta's strength.

Thinking of this, Tore couldn't help but complain, "However, the Chaos Crystal's judgment is for reference only and cannot be used as a complete basis for judging strength."

"Especially this Chaos Crystal, which is not excellent in quality or size, has an even greater possibility of making an incorrect judgment."

"For instance, just now, this foolish Chaos Crystal misjudged Zeta's strength."

"But even if it's stupid, it's still a Chaos Crystal after all."

"After all, in battle, knowing the enemy's strength is a very important thing."

"Although this Chaos Crystal is not of very high quality, it can at least sell for hundreds of yuan crystal."

At this point, Tore was practically drooling.

He secretly thought that the Chaos Universe was indeed full of treasures everywhere.

They had only just begun exploring, and Zeta had already accumulated hundreds of yuan crystal.

What incredible gains would follow? Just thinking about it excited him.

However, this Chaos Crystal belonged to Zeta, and he dared not covet it in the slightest.

He could only carefully return it to Lin Tianwei.

Taking the Chaos Crystal Tore handed over, Lin Tianwei continued to inquire:

"Although Chaos Crystal can detect the general strength of a target, this detection is not absolute."

"As long as the body is strong enough, one can easily shield against the Chaos Crystal's detection."

"Alternatively, mastering some methods of controlling Star Power can also interfere with the Chaos Crystal's judgment."

"The relationship between them is similar to offense and defense."

"The higher the quality of the Chaos Crystal, the more accurate its detection, and the more it can penetrate the Cosmic Beast's body for detection."

"I heard that there is a very high-grade Chaos Crystal in the Dawn Merchant Guild that can easily determine the strength of Cosmic Beasts below the Domain Lord Level."

"Most astonishingly, with sufficient energy, this Chaos Crystal can simultaneously detect the strength of hundreds of Cosmic Beasts."

"It's simply inconceivable."

Thinking of this, Tore subconsciously looked at the Chaos Crystal in Lin Tianwei's hand.

He found that the Chaos Crystal at this moment seemed to have no reaction whatsoever, still maintaining the state of countless silver lights.

Clearly, Lin Tianwei had already easily shielded against the Chaos Crystal's detection.

If it weren't for his first contact with a Chaos Crystal earlier, Lin Tianwei would never have allowed it to successfully detect him.

Although Tore had seen his "true" strength, Lin Tianwei had no intention of silencing him.

If Tore dared to believe his strength was truly that weak, then he would be a first-rate fool, utterly incapable of surviving until now.

However, occasionally using such a method to deceive some Cosmic Beasts who didn't know his true strength was indeed a good option.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei began to try infusing Star Power into the Chaos Crystal in his hand.

Since Chaos Crystal relies on its sensing of Star Power to simulate the appearance of the target's inner world to judge its strength, then the only thing it could rely on to drive it was naturally Star Power.

As expected, under Lin Tianwei's terrifying infusion of Star Power, the Chaos Crystal in his hand erupted with dazzling silver light.

The myriad silver lights, as if having absorbed too much energy, were wildly unleashing their power.

Under Lin Tianwei's Mental Power control, this Chaos Crystal seemed to have developed some kind of connection with Tore.

The silver light rapidly moved, surprisingly transforming back into the appearance of nine planets, three large and six small.

Indeed, just as Tore had said, the method for driving the Chaos Crystal was very simple; Lin Tianwei only studied it briefly before using it.

However, as Lin Tianwei stopped transmitting Star Power to the Chaos Crystal, the brilliant silver light hidden within it also began to dim.

After the silver light completely faded, this Chaos Crystal returned to its initial state.

Clearly, while Chaos Crystal could detect an enemy's strength, it required sufficient Star Power as a prerequisite.

Just an interesting toy.

Lin Tianwei quickly made a judgment about this Chaos Crystal.

It had some use, but not much.

Because the quality of this Chaos Crystal was simply too low, any target it could successfully detect posed no harm to Lin Tianwei whatsoever.

It could be said to be completely useless to Lin Tianwei.

Even its ability to successfully detect Tore's strength was entirely due to the terrifying Star Power Lin Tianwei infused.

Crack, crack... That was the sound of the Chaos Crystal shattering.

Before Lin Tianwei could continue to experiment with the Chaos Crystal's use, the Chaos Crystal in his hand suddenly developed several cracks.

Soon, it shattered into countless fragments, a truly miserable sight.

It turned out that this seemingly intact Chaos Crystal had actually already been damaged by Lin Tianwei's sudden infusion of terrifying Star Power.

Its ability to hold on until now was its final stubbornness.

Looking at the crumbling Chaos Crystal, Tore couldn't help but pick up the nearby fallen fragments.

Although the Chaos Crystal was pulverized, its basic function still existed.

It could still barely sell for one hundred to eighty yuan crystal.

Although the selling price wasn't high, for the impoverished Tore, it was an invaluable treasure.

Without stopping Tore's actions, Lin Tianwei again looked around.

While he and Tore were examining the Chaos Crystal, another group of planets had surrounded them.

However, in Lin Tianwei's eyes, this behavior was no different than sheep entering a tiger's mouth, seeking their own demise.

As expected, just as these planets were about to surround Lin Tianwei and Tore, intending to take them out with an explosion, a sudden change occurred.

Lin Tianwei directly grabbed Tore, who was picking up scraps.

After several Instantaneous Movements, Lin Tianwei and Tore's figures directly disappeared from this area, having already arrived in a much more distant place.

However, unlike last time, Lin Tianwei did not intend to turn back this time.

This was merely the edge of the core area; even if there were some gains, they would definitely not be worth his attention.

Lin Tianwei did not have the time to earn those few hundred or thousand yuan crystal.

His goal had never been these petty gains along the way.

So, what Lin Tianwei needed to do now was to continue on his journey.

He sped towards the very center of this Chaos Universe, to hunt for the star gleam stone that might exist there.

Of course, if he could pick up some treasures along the way, Lin Tianwei wouldn't mind.

After all, his Tiger Tooth Space was vast and could easily hold countless treasures.

He wouldn't mind doing such a simple task.

Instantaneous Movement!

Infinite Instantaneous Movement!

As long as Space Energy was abundant, Lin Tianwei could perform Instantaneous Movement an infinite number of times.

This Talent, originally only advanced, was made to be no less effective than a transcendent-level ability by Lin Tianwei, thanks to his vast Space Energy.

Half a month.

Lin Tianwei performed Instantaneous Movement for half a month straight before finally stopping.

Although the Space Energy within him was abundant, it was not inexhaustible.

After half a month of Instantaneous Movement, Lin Tianwei, with only ninety percent of his Space Energy remaining, finally stopped.

Lin Tianwei intended to save the remaining small amount of Space Energy for the most crucial moments.

For example, to guide a super explosion, a super explosion powerful enough to sift out countless treasures for Lin Tianwei!

Lin Tianwei's speed was even faster than Tore had imagined.

It was even faster than Kai's full-speed flight.

Although this half-month period wasn't long, it was enough for Lin Tianwei to bring Tofur from the edge region into the central region.

His speed was simply extreme.

Tore, who had been put down by Lin Tianwei again, finally had time to catch his breath.

Unlike Lin Tianwei's lack of reaction, he now only felt dizzy and sore all over.

Everywhere he touched hurt.

If it weren't for Kai's protection, Tore would have probably fallen apart during this insane Instantaneous Movement.

Feeling the terrifying gravity emanating from his surroundings, Tore subconsciously hid his body in the shadow of Lin Tianwei's body.

He tried to reduce the gravity he experienced in this way.

Clearly, as he got closer to the center of this Chaos Universe, the gravity Tore experienced became increasingly immense.

It was this immense gravity that made Tore struggle to move.

In contrast, Lin Tianwei's calm and composed face formed a stark contrast to Tore's disheveled state.

Looking at the countless planets rushing towards him, Lin Tianwei showed a satisfied expression.

Now it was time to hunt.

He only hoped that the planets in the central region were strong enough to bring him some slightly valuable gains.

Rumble, bang, collapse... Those were the huge sounds of attribute-less planets exploding.

It had to be said that the quality of the planets in the central region was far superior to those in the edge region.

Not only did they produce more spectacular explosions, but these planets were also more capable of withstanding the force of impacts and explosions.

Many planets were not directly destroyed after a collision and explosion.

Instead, they dragged their bodies, less than two-thirds remaining, and continued to attack Lin Tianwei.

However, their attacks were destined to be futile.

No matter how fast they were, they couldn't be faster than Lin Tianwei, who possessed the Speed Burst Talent.

Surrounding and intercepting him? It was even more impossible to catch him, given his Instantaneous Movement Talent.

The planet formations, which were unsolvable for other Cosmic Beasts, instead became playthings in Lin Tianwei's eyes.

They were constantly toyed with by Lin Tianwei, eventually destroyed in a series of explosions, leaving behind only countless remnants to prove their former existence.

It was these leftover remnants that made Tore's eyes burn with desire.

Each of them was priceless.

Some rare remnants could even sell for exorbitant prices of tens of thousands of yuan crystal, dazzling Tore, his single eye turning crimson.

If he hadn't retained his sanity, he might have even wanted to break free from Lin Tianwei's protection and rush out to plunder wildly.

While wealth could stir a beast's heart, one needed to be alive to spend the money.

Without Lin Tianwei's protection, Tore could die here in minutes.

So, in the end, Tore could only watch the treasures spread across the land, anxiously.
