Chapter 1743

"Eighty-seven War Stars!"

But we need to keep the exclamation mark inside quotes. So: 【1】 "Eighty-seven War Stars!"

As if inside the exchange point of a blood-and-flesh hell, Lin An brought in four War Star-level captives, and immediately his face was full of joy.

But need to keep single line. No extra commentary.

With no outsiders present, he couldn't help but chuckle lowly.

But his appearance, combined with the carnage strewn across the exchange point, instantly filled the four Fifth Stage captives dragged in with dread.

Ignoring the captives' fear, Lin An skillfully chopped off each of their hands and feet with a single sword stroke amidst their screams and pleas.

After consuming so many Fifth Stage beings, he had even gained some insight from it.

The injected transformation primal fluid doesn't require much of the body; just having a brain is enough.

After cutting off the hands and feet and keeping only the vital parts, the speed of melting and the lingering curse will be greatly reduced.

Of course, most importantly, they will die faster as well.

Out of humanitarianism, letting these materials suffer less from the torment of ghostly face flesh-eating is his final mercy as Lin An.

"Eighty-seven War Stars! Although I still lack spatial rules, after consuming so many War Star-level beings, my Rule Reserve is enough to breakthrough to the Fourth Stage Peak!"

"If another Omniscient Domain were to come..."

A skilled injection struck the nearest captive; Lin An's eyes flickered as he patiently waited for the target to be transformed into a blood relative.

The War Star-level beings Hei Di sent this time are almost more than all the Fifth Stage beings he had previously killed!

Although points will be taken as a share, the rules that can be plundered are genuine! With nearly a hundred in number, one can surely find a useful rule!

"Spare me... Lin Emperor... I know..."

"Ahhhhh!!!"

The transformation speed is extremely fast.

The first War Star-level being injected with the primal fluid by Lin An writhed on the ground like a maggot.

But soon, before he could finish his pleas, evil-looking human faces sprouted from his tongue.

At almost visible speed, amidst rapid chewing sounds, it directly gnawed at his brain.

Such a horrifying, perverse scene instantly terrified the remaining three War Star-level beings to the brink of collapse.

Amidst the shrill screams, Lin An remained expressionless; a red flash from his Cain's Blade pierced the Fifth Stage's skull, ending his suffering.

The next second, as a strange mist condensed on the sword's blade, Lin An took a deep breath and swallowed it directly into his stomach.

Such a scene, seen by the other captured Fifth Stage beings, instantly became even more terrifying.

Eating people! No! It's eating gods!

They never expected that the mysteriously appearing Shattered Star-level monster in this mission was actually hiding in the fortress, eating gods!

If this news were to spread, it would surely astonish everyone!

Ignoring the increasingly struggling Fifth Stage captives, Lin An casually crushed the remaining three into a puddle of flesh, leaving only their heads, then quickly examined the absorption effects.

He noticed that this batch of Fifth Stage beings seemed to have rules related to the rock element.

"Beep, Rule Limit increased by 1.6%."

"Beep, currently absorbable rules: Particle Adhesion, Solidification."

"Particle Adhesion: After using the rule, you can have energy particles you control or create adsorb free particle structures, and assimilate the free particles according to the particles you control."

"Solidification: Choose an area to solidify. After solidification, atomic vibration frequency decreases, granting extra stabilizing effect, but this effect cannot reduce the entropy within the atoms."

Huh?

Raising his eyebrows, Lin An looked somewhat surprised at the transformed rules, and subconsciously glanced at the corpses on the ground.

He had thought the transformed rules would be earth element, elemental control, petrification, etc.

But he didn't expect the given rules to be extremely reminiscent of the technological side.

Lowering his head, he noticed that the War Star-level being he had eaten actually wore a polymer protective coating, and Lin An then realized that this group of discarded Fifth Stage beings were actually a technological civilization.

He had always thought this batch of captured War Star-level beings were some kind of fantasy world creature.

After all, their bald, rock-beetle-like appearance was truly deceptive.

"Particle Adhesion.."

"Is it like a magnet sucking in surrounding elements and atoms? Does the special effect come with a conversion effect? If you absorb with metal, what you suck in turns into metal?"

"So-called earth-element proficiency essentially means selecting to adsorb the most carbon?"

As if he had thought of something.

Lin An suddenly bent down to search among the minced flesh.

As expected, upon touching a somewhat warm stone resembling some kind of ore, he instantly understood what it was.

"Omniscient Domain.."

Hum.

Instantly opened and closed.

One second later, after looking at the information he had obtained, Lin An couldn't help but flash a strange expression on his face.

Kind of interesting..

Thanks to the cheat-like effect of the Omniscient Domain and simple reasoning, Lin An instantly discovered the secret of this group of War Star-level beings, and perhaps even the secret of the fleeing Star-Destroying-level entity.

Only to see in his hand was indeed a Star Core Fragment.

One similar to the Star Core Fragment in his ring.

"This civilization's Fifth Stage actually fuses a planet's Star Core Fragment into their own bodies."

"By utilizing the assimilative effect of rules, they can produce defensive armor comparable to Star Core Level in any environment."

"However, this Star Core's level isn't high, and the rules derived from its assimilation aren't that strong..."

"Why fuse this thing?"

He lowered his head to look at the earth-yellow star core fragment in his hand, but Lin An felt somewhat puzzled instead.

Not having seen that Star-Destroying Level, he naturally couldn't imagine that the fleeing Gus Overlord actually had the ability to merge his clanspeople's rules together.

Each Fifth Stage carries star-core fragments; at critical moments, the Gus Overlord can forcibly fuse them into a complete star, erupting with tremendous combat power.

However, under the super-strong gravity of the stellar battlefield, the Gus Overlord's method cannot be used.

The overly strong gravity will, at the moment he summons the star, instead crush him to death.

Therefore, this is also an important reason why the Gus Overlord has no choice but to flee in frustration.

After lowering his head to think for a while, Lin An, unable to come up with an answer, also couldn't be bothered to think further.

However, upon noticing that these Fifth Stages almost all came from the same civilization, Lin An's heart suddenly jumped.
