467: Hunting

At the edge of the Gulang Star Region.

After a long flight, Lin Tianwei finally found his first Star Devouring target—a massive, abandoned planet.

Though called an abandoned planet, this planet was not entirely without value.

This planet was rich in a type of ore called hard gold ore, the primary material for extracting hard gold.

As for hard gold, it was one of the indispensable and very precious materials for crafting weapons and equipment.

However, having value did not mean this planet had mining value, otherwise, it would not have fallen into disuse.

On this scarred planet, high-content hard gold ore had long been completely mined out, leaving only some low-content hard gold ore.

Due to the excessively low hard gold content, these hard gold ores had no refining value whatsoever and could only be abandoned, causing the once prosperous mining planet to become thoroughly dilapidated.

These Cosmic Beasts that mined hard gold ore were like locusts passing through, greedily devouring the resources in the universe, leaving behind a tragic scene of devastation.

Yet, such an abandoned mining planet, considered worthless in the eyes of others, was an unparalleled treasure in Lin Tianwei's eyes.

With the terrifying ability of Talent: Star Devourer (Mythical), he would surely be able to quickly refine this abandoned mining planet and transform it into the origin that could make him even stronger.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei's powerful Mental Power directly erupted, beginning to establish a connection with the mining planet before him.

As long as he could completely refine this abandoned mining planet with his Mental Power, Lin Tianwei would be able to instantly devour it into the Star Devouring Space using Talent: Star Devourer (Mythical), completely refining it into his own origin.

Three days.

Facing this abandoned mining planet, which was even more powerful than all the planets Lin Tianwei had encountered before, Lin Tianwei only took three days to completely refine it with his Mental Power.

The planet he had to refine was indeed stronger, but this increased strength was far less than the increase in Lin Tianwei's Mental Power.

This led to one result: Lin Tianwei's efficiency in using Talent: Star Devourer (Mythical) became higher and higher.

Roar~~~~~~~~

Accompanied by a majestic beast roar, Lin Tianwei swallowed the massive planet before him whole.

What a spectacular sight it was!

Lin Tianwei's body was only one-thousandth the size of this abandoned mining planet, yet he was like the most terrifying primeval beast, swallowing the entire abandoned mining planet in one gulp, creating a shocking sense of an ant swallowing an elephant.

Burp.

Although he had only just swallowed the mining planet, Talent: Star Devourer (Mythical) had already begun to exert its effect.

As the mining planet was gradually refined, a large amount of origin began to feed back into Lin Tianwei, transforming into Lin Tianwei's energy reserves.

Talent: Star Devourer (Mythical), the mythical-level Talent unique to the Star Devouring Behemoth, finally revealed its true power at this moment.

Every moment, Lin Tianwei was able to obtain a large amount of origin as feedback.

In just half an hour, the origin he had obtained already exceeded ten thousand units.

This was a fortune equivalent to ten million yuan crystal or one hundred billion yuan coin; simply accumulating it would be enough to suppress most Cosmic Beasts.

Truly *smashing beasts with money*.

Moreover, the function of origin was not merely as currency.

Origin contained incredibly pure energy and could be directly digested and absorbed by any Cosmic Beast, transforming into its own energy.

For Lin Tianwei, whose body energy was still somewhat depleted, directly absorbing these origins to transform into his own energy was the best choice.

Money? No amount of money was as important as one's own strength.

Having money but lacking the strength to protect it, in the eyes of outsiders, was nothing more than a prey exuding a rich fragrance.

Just as Lin Tianwei floated quietly in space, concentrating on refining the mining planet he had just captured,

Jacobs's hunting team had also set off, beginning to search for Lin Tianwei's location in the vast universe.

No Cosmic Beast could be completely untraceable in the universe;

scent, traces, and sound—these pieces of information could all expose him.

The moment he arrived at the location where Lin Tianwei devoured Piert, Jacobs led his subordinates to begin searching for Lin Tianwei's tracks.

Talent: Time Reversal (King)!

The reason Jacobs could become a captain was because he possessed the extremely heaven-defying ability of Time Reversal, giving him an unparalleled advantage in searching for enemies.

However, this Time Reversal was destined to fail, as Lin Tianwei was protected by the Talent Extraction System; no matter how hard he tried, he would only see a fog.

Facing such a situation, Jacobs showed no disappointment.

There were countless Cosmic Beasts with strange methods in the universe, and while Cosmic Beasts capable of blocking Time Reversal were rare, they were not entirely nonexistent.

They just didn't know that such a block was precisely a method of exposing their own location.

If the current area was blocked, it also happened to prove that the target had just passed through here.

It was by following this blocked Time Reversal that Jacobs led his subordinates to quickly approach Lin Tianwei's current location.

However, because they needed to verify Lin Tianwei's tracks, their speed would be slightly slower than Lin Tianwei's direct advance.

Yet, this tracking journey would eventually come to an end; half a month later, they finally discovered Lin Tianwei, who was diligently refining the mining planet, at the edge of the Gulang Star Region.

Upon meeting, Lin Tianwei gave Jacobs and the other Cosmic Beasts a tremendous shock.

Although Lin Tianwei remained motionless, simply lying quietly in space, his entire body exuded an extremely terrifying aura.

It was indescribable, yet it made them feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.

Even Jacobs, whose strength had reached Immortal-level Ninth Order, instinctively trembled.

Talent, that was the terrifying pressure emanating from a powerful Talent.

To reach such a state, it could not possibly be an ordinary Talent.

King-level? Legendary-level? It was even highly likely to be the Legendary Saint-level.

In short, Lin Tianwei must possess an extremely terrifying Talent.

Only after opening his Beast King Domain did Jacobs dispel this instinctive fear stemming from his Talent being suppressed.

After fear came greed.

Jacobs never imagined that this operation would yield such a harvest.

What kind of reward would the Law Hunting Ground give him for hunting a Cosmic Beast with a Saint-level Talent? Just thinking about it made the beast's heart pound.

Using this Cosmic Beast named Lin as a pledge, he could even exchange for his freedom from the Law Hunting Ground.

It was at this very moment that Ginas's impatient voice entered Jacobs's consciousness, saying:

"Bring him back, quickly bring him back."

"What an excellent material, possessing a Saint-level Talent."

"If you can bring him back intact, I promise to restore your freedom."

Due to Piert's instant demise, Ginas also thought highly of Lin Tianwei, not only sending the powerful Jacobs to conduct the second hunt but also observing this hunt through the collar.

He never expected that even before the hunt began, Lin Tianwei had already given him a huge surprise.

Just sensing this powerful Talent was enough to make his mouth water, his mind filled with crazy ideas of immediately beginning research on Lin Tianwei.

He even used the freedom of Jacobs and the other Cosmic Beasts as a bargaining chip, ordering them to immediately hunt Lin Tianwei and bring him before him.

Ginas's words instantly excited the hunting team as if they had been injected with adrenaline.

That was freedom, the freedom they had longed for, and they never expected it to be delivered to them in such a simple form.

Admittedly, the powerful Talent aura emanating from Lin Tianwei was enough to make them feel fear.

But that was just a powerful Talent aura.

A powerful Talent did not mean Lin Tianwei's strength was powerful.

At least from the energy emanating from Lin Tianwei's body, they did not believe that Lin Tianwei had already achieved Immortal-level.

For this hunting team, whose average strength exceeded Immortal-level Fifth Order, Lin Tianwei was simply a prey delivered to their doorstep, within easy reach!

Without hesitation, after Ginas's order was given, Jacobs was the first to charge.

The rewards were the same, but the Cosmic Beast that took the lead would naturally receive even more generous rewards.

The Cosmic Beasts that had been closely following behind him also refused to be left behind, charging forward quickly.

During their flight, they did not forget to set up various means to completely seal off this space.

While the rewards for a successful hunt were generous, it also meant that the punishment for failure would be incredibly terrifying.

Although they did not believe Lin Tianwei could escape their hunt, it was always better to be safe than sorry.

To prevent Lin Tianwei from escaping through some means, they had to restrict him, turning him into a turtle in a jar, at their mercy.

They never dreamed, however, that the cage they meticulously woven would become the perfect coffin for themselves.

Aware of several unfamiliar auras around him, Lin Tianwei irritably opened his eyes.

While the Star Devouring Talent was powerful, it also had extremely severe limitations: one had to be fully focused, allowing no distraction.

It was only because Lin Tianwei's Mental Power had reached a higher level, allowing him to multitask,

otherwise, if disturbed by these Cosmic Beasts, his progress in refining this mining planet would have been completely ruined.

If he wanted to refine this mining planet again, he would need much more effort.

Even so, Lin Tianwei's strength would be limited when multitasking, making it difficult to handle too many powerful opponents.

Glancing lightly at the Cosmic Beasts charging towards him, Lin Tianwei sighed slightly; he really struggled to understand why so many Cosmic Beasts would not cherish their lives, choosing to come forward one after another to their demise.

Although Lin Tianwei had no impression of these Cosmic Beasts, judging by the familiar collars on them, they definitely belonged to the same organization as the previous batch of inexplicable Cosmic Beasts.

Given this, this matter could certainly not be easily resolved.

Immortal-level Ninth Order, Immortal-level Ninth Order, Immortal-level Eighth Order, Immortal-level Sixth Order, Immortal-level Sixth Order, Immortal-level Fifth Order!

With just a simple observation, Lin Tianwei had already discerned the strength of the Cosmic Beasts before him.

Immortal-level? They could cause Lin Tianwei a slight bit of trouble, but only a slight bit.

Since Lin Tianwei was not in a particularly good mood at the moment, he decided to end the battle quickly, swiftly eliminating these self-delivered meals.

Beast King Domain!

Without any visible action from Lin Tianwei, a brilliant golden light, with him as the origin, quickly began to encompass the entire space into his sphere of influence.

This golden light was incomparably domineering; as soon as it appeared, it rapidly squeezed out the domains that originally existed in this space.

Like fireflies before the bright moon, it completely stripped the six Immortal-level Cosmic Beasts of their domain's radiance.

Their once somewhat bright domains instantly cowered, able only to shrink back and barely protect their own bodies.

Damn it, Jacobs instantly realized something was wrong.

He wasn't a complete fool; from Lin Tianwei's terrifying domain, it was clear that Lin Tianwei's strength was far from as simple as he had imagined.

Not at Immortal-level? How could such a foolish thought have even crossed his mind?

An existence that could suppress six Immortal-level Cosmic Beasts with a wave of his hand must have at least reached the peak of Immortal-level.

For such a powerful existence, if not handled carefully, even six against one, let alone capturing him alive, it would be incredibly difficult for them to survive.

Thinking this, Jacobs quickly began communicating with the other five Cosmic Beasts through their collars.

They had to formulate a meticulous plan to have any chance of defeating this formidable opponent.

Like Jacobs, Ginas was also in shock.

The moment he saw Lin Tianwei expand his domain, he felt his beast mind go blank.

He never imagined that Lin Tianwei possessed such terrifying strength.

One must know, this Cosmic Beast before him was less than a hundred years old!

Just thinking about the Domain Lord Level Cosmic Beast hunting team he had initially sent out, Ginas felt a blush creep up his face.

No wonder they were instantly killed; a Domain Lord Level Cosmic Beast hunting an Immortal-level Cosmic Beast?

That was no different from seeking death.

Beyond the shock, Ginas grew even more excited.

The stronger Lin Tianwei was, the more excited he became.

Because this also meant that the experimental subject he could acquire would be even more powerful.

Placing a collar on the neck of such a handsome and dashing Cosmic Beast—the very thought of such an act made Ginas feel thrilled.

Not enough, this was still not enough.

Even though it was six against one, and his side even had two Immortal-level Ninth Order Cosmic Beasts, Ginas felt that the hunting team's strength was still insufficient to hunt Lin Tianwei.

To ensure this hunting operation was foolproof, he had to add more powerful forces!

Thinking this, another more meticulous plan was arranged by Ginas.

To successfully hunt Lin Tianwei, he had truly gone all out this time.

He even went so far as to deploy a Lord-level powerhouse.

However, Ginas believed his arrangements would definitely not be wrong; Lin Tianwei's strength completely deserved such treatment.

These useless Jacobs were simply not trustworthy. (End of Chapter)
