114: Chapter 114: One punch shatters the amber egg, a royal hatchling, and he successfully seizes it!

Lin Yuan returned to Villa [079].

He walked to the smart brain terminal in the center of the living room and inserted the star key into the slot.

The screen lit up, and the standard interface of Starry Sky University popped up.

Lin Yuan did not linger; he tapped rapidly on the virtual keyboard, inputting a complex string of commands.

The interface switched.

The blue interface disappeared, replaced by a burning Star Blade flag.

Military Intranet.

Iris scanning started, and a red light swept across Lin Yuan's pupils.

"Identity verification passed."

"Welcome, Second Lieutenant of the Spark Legion, Lin Yuan."

The mechanical voice echoed in the spacious living room.

The original S-rank sequence logo in the upper right corner had disappeared, replaced by a general's star.

Below, the various privileges of the Second Lieutenant rank were listed.

[Privilege 1: Purchase of military strategic Materials, 30% discount on all categories.]

[Privilege 2: Interstellar logistics and cross-plane teleportation, all taxes and fees exempted.]

[Privilege 3: Unlocked access to B-rank and below classified databases.]

[Privilege 4: Can apply to mobilize a company-level (300 personnel) conventional garrison unit (currently unavailable in the Dead Star region).]

Lin Yuan looked at the screen, his mind calm.

The first place he had risked his life to secure in the major exam was finally starting to pay off.

He opened the military supply store and entered two keywords in the search bar: Divine Power recovery, plane-breaking.

The list refreshed, and thousands of items cascaded down like a waterfall.

Lin Yuan's gaze swept across quickly. He first looked at recovery-type Divine Artifacts.

[Tears of the Sea God]: When worn, it can automatically absorb Void Realm energy and convert it into Divine Power, recovering ten percent every hour. Price: 200 million faith points.

[Ring of the Fountain of Life]: Contains a miniature plane, stores a massive amount of Divine Power, and can fully replenish the Divine Power of a Peak Demigod once. Recharging takes three days. Price: 500 million faith points.

Lin Yuan closed the Divine Artifact page directly.

The cost-performance ratio was too low.

His strength was currently in a period of rapid explosion, and his Divine Domain would see a leap in rank at any time.

Buying this kind of fixed-value Divine Artifact would result in it being obsolete in a few months.

As for those growable Divine Artifacts that could evolve with the Divine Domain's rank...

There was simply no stock on the military intranet; they were strategic-level non-sale items.

"Potions are more practical."

Lin Yuan switched to the consumables page.

[Spark Type VI Divine Power Recovery Potion]: Military special supply.

Recovers fifty percent of Divine Power within three seconds after injection, has no drug resistance, and continuous use will not cause damage to the Divine Domain Foundation.

Unit price: 1 million faith points.

Lin Yuan entered the quantity: 20 vials.

Next, he looked at plane-breaking items.

[Void Breaker Shuttle]: One-time consumable. Contains a sealed strike of True God-rank space Law, capable of piercing through all Law Seals of Peak Demigod and below, forcibly establishing a jump channel.

Unit price: 30 million faith points.

Lin Yuan took one.

Checkout the shopping cart.

Original price 50 million faith points.

The System automatically identified his Second Lieutenant privileges.

"Discounted total price: 35 million faith points. Pay?"

"Pay."

His balance shrank again, but Lin Yuan didn't even frown.

On the Myriad Worlds Trading Street, those profiteers would dare to sell a one-way key for 10 million.

The military's 35 million already felt like a fair price to him; at least it could be discounted.

"Ding! Payment successful. Military dedicated logistics has shipped. Estimated arrival time: five minutes."

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged on a cushion, closing his eyes to rest.

Five minutes later.

The space in the center of the living room suddenly rippled.

A miniature wormhole with a diameter of about half a meter formed out of thin air.

A silver briefcase was spat out from inside and landed on the floor.

Lin Yuan opened his eyes, walked over, and opened the briefcase.

Twenty vials were neatly arranged, and beside them lay a diamond-shaped metal shuttle flowing with silver space Law.

He put all the supplies into his storage space.

Lin Yuan turned and left.

Edge of the Dead Star, Launch Pad No. 3.

The fat logistician was picking his toes.

Hearing footsteps, he looked up.

Seeing Lin Yuan, the fat man's hand froze.

"Holy crap," the fat man blurted out, "You're still going? Do you think faith points grow on trees?"

In just one day, including buying coordinates and travel expenses, this freshman had already burned nearly 100 million faith points.

Even the children of wealthy families at Starry Sky University didn't spend like this.

Lin Yuan walked over and slapped the star key on the window.

"One-way 200,000, charge it."

The fat man swallowed and efficiently processed the payment.

Watching Lin Yuan sit in the shuttle-type spacecraft and dive into the spatial turbulence, the fat man shook his head:

"This kid is either a peerless Genius or a peerless madman."

Plane 093.

[Wither-Bloom Mark] fully activated, the Stealth Law erased his figure.

Swamp area, avoiding larvae.

Sewage outlet, sliding along the ceiling.

Maze passage, turn left, go straight, jump.

Without any pause, Lin Yuan was like he had returned to his own backyard.

An hour and a half later, he arrived at the underground cavity again.

Nursery.

The one he had killed before had already been replaced.

Lin Yuan hid in the shadows and raised his right hand.

The gray-black flame compressed into a thin thread, and he flicked his finger.

The thread sank into the body of an insect guard at the very edge. The assassination continued.

Waiting was extremely boring.

Lin Yuan controlled the output power of the Wither-Bloom Mark, bit by bit draining the insect guard's life force.

Twenty minutes later.

The body of that insect guard swayed slightly.

Just then, a commotion suddenly came from outside the passage.

Lin Yuan's eyes sharpened.

An insect general over twelve meters long crawled in.

It exuded the aura of a high-level Diamond rank, and its back carapace was covered with golden Royal patterns.

This was a high-level insect race responsible for patrolling.

The insect general crawled in front of the insect guard whose life force was being drained.

Two antennae extended and pierced into the gaps of the insect guard's carapace.

Lin Yuan held his breath, his muscles tightening unconsciously.

In his storage space, the Divine Power recovery potion was already in his hand.

As long as this insect general let out a shriek of enemy attack, he would immediately pop a potion.

He would risk serious injury to kill all the insect race here, then crush the Void Breaker Shuttle to escape.

The insect general's antennae stirred inside the insect guard's body.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

The insect general withdrew its antennae.

In its simple neural circuit, this companion's organs were naturally failing.

There were no traces of external force damage, nor were any hostile energy fluctuations detected.

The insect general emitted a low hiss.

Two Worker Insects crawled in from outside the passage, dragged the insect guard that had only one breath left, and crawled towards the waste area.

Subsequently, the insect general walked to the empty position and quietly lay in wait.

Lin Yuan watched this scene from the shadows and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Low intelligence, acting only on instinct and genetic commands. This is the greatest advantage of the insect race, and also its most fatal weakness."

If it were any other alien race with independent thinking ability.

Several elites failing inexplicably in the same spot would have long turned this place upside down.

Lin Yuan continued to cast spells.

As time passed, he discovered something interesting.

The replacement guards brought in by the insect general had become weaker.

Originally all Diamond rank, now the new ones brought in had become Platinum Peak.

"It seems that even in the main nest, Diamond rank combat power is not infinite."

"They need to guard multiple sub-nests and other Royal Larvae."

This was an excellent opportunity.

The life force of Platinum Peak is far inferior to Diamond rank, so the Wither-Bloom Mark would drain them twice as fast.

Lin Yuan decisively took out a [Spark Type VI Divine Power Recovery Potion] and injected it into his thigh.

The dark blue liquid was injected into his body.

His originally more than half-depleted Divine Power quickly refilled.

The threads of the Wither-Bloom Mark continued to shoot out.

Four hours later.

There were only three guards left around the giant egg.

Two Platinum Peak and one high-level Diamond insect general.

At this time, Lin Yuan's Divine Power had 60% remaining.

"It's time."

He couldn't wait for natural death anymore.

These last three, especially that insect general.

If they died suddenly at the same time, it would likely alert the insect swarm's will.

He had to lure them away.

The Divine Fire in Lin Yuan's Sea of Consciousness flickered, stripping out pure Stealth Law.

Divine Power converged, condensing three shadow Clones in the shadows that were identical to his size.

"Go." Lin Yuan issued the command.

The three shadow Clones hugged the ground, darting out of the nursery like ghosts, rushing towards the perimeter along the passage.

Five kilometers away.

The three Clones simultaneously dispelled their stealth and revealed their figures.

Destructive Death Qi condensed in their hands, and they bombarded the surrounding glowing glands and load-bearing flesh pillars.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Violent explosions echoed inside the nest, and a large number of low-level larvae were blown into blood foam.

The pain link was triggered.

The high-pitched insect chirping broke the silence of the underground maze.

The entire main nest came alive, and countless insect races surged towards the explosion point from all directions.

...

At the same time.

Perimeter of Plane 093.

The Sophomore Team was busy in a concealment Formation.

Chen Feng was holding a Formation Plate, inscribing the final node.

The ground suddenly transmitted a vibration.

Above the distant bone-like main nest, flesh clouds rolled.

Thousands of flying insect guards shrieked and soared into the sky, obscuring the gray sky.

"What's going on?!" Lanky was so scared he almost threw away the Formation Flag in his hand.

Short-haired Senior Sister lay in front of the detection radar, her fingers operating rapidly.

On the screen, the red dots representing the insect race were gathering towards an area inside the main nest.

"Captain! High-intensity combat is happening inside the main nest!" Senior Sister looked up, her expression grave.

"Is it that freshman again?" Lanky widened his eyes, "Is this kid really that suicidal? He dares to go back?"

They had been collecting intelligence on the perimeter for half the day.

Except for the first time they saw Lin Yuan forcibly killing his way out of the insect sea, the following few times Lin Yuan had perfectly infiltrated.

The radar hadn't captured any fluctuations at all.

So in their perception, Lin Yuan had long abandoned this plane.

"No." Short-haired Senior Sister stared at the data band fed back by the radar, her brows slightly furrowed.

"The band is wrong. That kid's energy signature before was extreme Death Qi and Physical Body strength."

"But what the radar is capturing now is high-concentration Shadow Law fluctuations."

"Shadow element?" Chen Feng's expression changed.

"Yes, very pure Shadow Law, extremely high concealment."

"If he hadn't actively exposed the attack nodes, the radar wouldn't have been able to scan it at all," Senior Sister analyzed quickly.

The team members looked at each other.

"Damn it, it's not that freshman," Lanky gritted his teeth, "When did another sneaky opportunist with a Shadow-element Divine Domain sneak into this place?"

"A sophomore or a junior?"

Everyone felt a headache.

At Starry Sky University, the most feared were not the reckless brutes who fought head-on.

But these sneaky opportunists who hid in the dark, always ready to stab you in the back and steal the fruits of your labor.

Because you couldn't figure out the bottom line of the opponent's strength at all.

"Don't care who he is!" Chen Feng stood up and said sternly:

"Speed up the Formation setup! Only half of the Formation Materials have been set up, and the intelligence hasn't been fully collected yet!"

Chen Feng pointed at Lanky: "You, put down your work and watch the radar closely."

"Concentrate your Mental Energy to the extreme, and watch out for even the slightest Shadow fluctuation in the surroundings!"

"Absolutely do not let this person steal the plane core we have our eyes on!" Chen Feng gripped his combat blade, "We are going to eat this piece of meat!"

...

Main nest, Nursery.

The chaos outside had reached its Peak.

All the insect guards originally preparing to come for a shift change were all lured to the area where the Clones self-destructed.

Outside the passage, a temporary vacuum period of military force formed.

Lin Yuan leaned against the rock wall, the Death Qi threads at his fingertips outputting steadily.

The last two insect guards and the insect general, under the erosion of the [Wither-Bloom Mark], had their life fires gradually extinguished.

Thump, thump, thump.

Three corpses fell one after another.

Still a natural death.

No pain link was triggered.

The entire nursery was finally cleared.

Lin Yuan walked out of the shadows and came before that hundred-meter-tall amber giant egg.

He did not hesitate at all, clenched his right fist, and the Destruction Law condensed on his fist.

Bang!

He punched down.

The amber eggshell shattered in response.

A large amount of viscous nutrient solution poured out.

In the center of the shattered eggshell, that Royal Larva, crystal clear throughout and exuding high-level Law fluctuations, was exposed to the air.

Lin Yuan reached out and grabbed the torso of the larva.

It felt cold to the touch, carrying a wisp of extremely pure Mental Energy fluctuation.

"Got it."

Lin Yuan chuckled; after so much trouble, he finally got it.

He backhanded the Royal Larva into his Divine Domain space, while his left hand reached for the [Void Breaker Shuttle] at his waist.

Preparing to evacuate.

Just as the Royal Larva was stripped away.

Hum—

Lin Yuan's heart contracted violently.

No sound, no image.

Only a strange sense of being watched.

The temperature of the entire nursery dropped to freezing, and the surrounding flesh walls collapsed at an alarming speed.

Locked on.

The plane ruler, the Insect Mother.
