155: Devouring Star Fragments, a Different Starry Sky

After more than ten minutes, Lin Xingyu finally reached the end of the mine tunnel.

What appeared before him was a huge natural grotto.

In the center of the grotto, a half-human-tall cyan stone was quietly suspended.

Invisible fluctuations emanated from the stone, distorting the surrounding space.

This was the source of the radiation.

When he focused his gaze on the cyan stone, the System's notification sound rang in his mind.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for discovering a Star Shard. Do you wish to absorb it?"

"Yes!"

Lin Xingyu made his choice without hesitation.

As soon as he spoke, a terrifying power ofDevour, even stronger than before, erupted from his body.

In an instant, the entire space vibrated violently, winds howled, andgravel fell rustling.

Almost materialized cyan energy peeled away from the Star Shard, surging into Lin Xingyu's body like a tide.

Not only the energy from the Star Shard, but even the Star energy from the entire mine was drawn in, frantically converging here.

"Rumble—"

Lin Xingyu's Inner World was undergoing earth-shattering changes.

The sky of the world continuously lifted upwards, and the star map projection, originally identical to the Blue Star World, gradually dissipated.

In its place was a brand new, unique star map belonging to the Inner World.

As Star energy continuously poured in, one star after another was lit up, shimmering with dazzling light... At the same time.

Blazing Sun City, Blazing Sun Supreme's mansion, underground Cultivation room.

"This is..."

The Blazing Sun Supreme, who was Cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes, his face filled with an expression of disbelief.

Not long ago, he discovered a journal in a corner of the Deep Space Library.

It recorded a method for Breaking through to God Rank.

Fusion of a spirit seed with a secret realm core, using the power of the entire Secret Realm to unlock the genetic lock.

During the Breakthrough, the Secret Realm would detach from the original world and Fusion with oneself, transforming into an Inner World.

God Rank cultivators who Break through using this method are called "Controllers."

"Controllers" hold an extremely high status among God Rank cultivators and often possess extraordinary combat power.

When they fight, they can mobilize the Origin power of their Inner World for augmentation, unleashing powerful combat strength.

Not only that, their defensive power is also quite formidable.

Theoretically, unless the "Controller's" Inner World is destroyed, they cannot suffer fatal damage.

However, this power is not without its cost.

The Inner World they control, rather than being a world, is more like a massive space.

Unlike the original Secret Realm, it does not possess the ability to absorb external energy.

In other words, this Inner World is "dead."

Once the Origin is exhausted, the world will automatically collapse, and the "Controller" will perish with it.

Therefore, many "Controllers" are constantly searching for substances that can replenish the world's Origin.

Despite this, the power of the "Controller" is still highly coveted.

Even without using the world's Origin, their combat power is stronger than that of ordinary God Rank cultivators.

However, to Fusion a secret realm core and a spirit seed is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

After all, these are two different Materials, and there is mutual repulsion between them.

A slight mistake could lead to damage to one's own spirit seed, resulting in severe injury.

During this time, the Blazing Sun Supreme had attempted several times, but all ended in failure.

And just now, he felt a fluctuation that was very similar to what was recorded in the journal.

"Could it be that someone has Broken through and become a Controller?"

The Blazing Sun Supreme wondered.

"But, among the Supreme, I haven't heard of anyone entering seclusion..."

"No, this fluctuation still has subtle differences from what is recorded in the journal. It shouldn't be a God Rank Breakthrough."

"Could it be the commotion caused by that Dragon Clan?"

...Meanwhile, on the other side.

Star Pavilion Headquarters, Stargazing Platform.

This place floats above the sea of clouds and is the core Forbidden Ground of the Star Pavilion.

Several Elders were holding their breath, carefully sensing the star core in front of them.

This star core was not a physical entity, but a constantly changing energy core.

It floated in the center of the formation, and each vibration radiated invisible fluctuations outwards.

Suddenly.

"Buzz—"

A low sound exploded without warning.

The vibration frequency of the star core suddenly accelerated, and terrifying energy spread wantonly.

The Elders were caught off guard, immediately spitting out blood and their aura weakening.

"Not good! The star core is losing control! Quickly activate the Star Binding Array!"

...Goblin Secret Realm, deep within the Star Crystal Mine.

The Star energy in the mine tunnel had been completely absorbed by Lin Xingyu.

The changes in his Inner World also gradually stopped.

The area of this expansion was not large; it merely added many stars to the sky.

Although Lin Xingyu was unclear about the function of these stars, he thought it shouldn't be a bad thing.

"It's time to leave..."

He shook his head and turned to leave the depths of the mine tunnel.

"Brother Yu, is it done?"

Seeing Lin Xingyu emerge, Wang Ledian immediately went to meet him.

"Mm, let's go out."

Lin Xingyu nodded and led everyone out of the mine tunnel.

The Star Crystal Mine had been mined empty and had lost its utility.

Next, he planned to empty the entire mining area, taking away everything that could be taken.

"Brother Xingyu, there are so many goblin mecha gathered outside!"

Wang Chiyao's voice came.

"The number is probably around three thousand..."

Before entering the mine tunnel, she had dispersed the Explosion Bees to monitor the movements of the goblins in the surroundings.

"No big problem, we can take care of them."

Lin Xingyu opened a teleportation channel and sent out the army.

Now they had over a thousand treants and over six hundred goblin mecha.

Coupled with Wang Chiyao's Puppet Army, dealing with the goblins outside was more than enough.

This time, Lin Xingyu specifically teleported out captives with loyalty above 50 to let them participate in the battle.

Those with loyalty below 50 were left in the Inner World to prevent them from escaping during battle.

After some time, if these people's loyalty still remained below 50, they would be eliminated.

The army assembled, marching mightily towards the entrance of the cave... At the exit of the mine tunnel.

The iron defense line constructed by the Seventh Legion was on high alert.

The staff officer sat in the command mecha, his face grim.

Just now, the radiation energy in the Star Crystal Mine had suddenly disappeared.

This gave him an ominous premonition.

"Something's not right..."

He muttered to himself.

"The radiation source seems to have been cut off. What exactly did they do?"

The goblins had discovered this radiation source a long time ago.

But that was the core of the Star Crystal Mine, which could continuously generate star crystal stone for the Empire.

If there was a problem with the radiation source, the entire Star Crystal Mine would beIt's ruined.

star crystal stone was an important strategic Materials, an indispensable Material for building the "sky guardian."

Just then, violent explosions suddenly erupted all around.

"Boom boom boom—"

These were attacks launched by the Explosion Bees pre-positioned in the vicinity.
