Chapter 242: Tremors in the Milky Way Star Field
Chapter 242: Tremors in the Milky Way Star Field (End of Chapter)
Lin Yuan was aware that 'Shang Shan' was not dead, but he didn't pay it much mind.
With Lin Yuan's cultivation speed, he could crush 'Shang Shan' right now, let alone in the future? It should be the other way around; it should be the one fearing him.
"Let's see the spoils of war."
Lin Yuan placed the massive planet back into the starry path. This planet was large enough to serve as a lair for two eighth-tier special beings.
It was naturally extraordinary, even among higher life planets, and it was imbued with a vast amount of gentle cosmic energy.
When Lin Yuan made his move against 'Ao Du' and 'Shang Shan', he had also tried his best not to damage the planet, confining the aftermath to the planet's surface.
"Special Life Bloodline Essence."
First was the large amount of bloodline essence Lin Yuan had collected.
Cosmic special beings were few in number, and many were born of the universe itself, unable to reproduce. Their bloodline essence was far superior to that of humans.
Early in the history of human civilization, attempts were made to integrate the bloodlines of these special beings into the human bloodline to produce stronger offspring.
And thus, bloodline essence elixirs were born.
Through special means, the bloodline was extracted from these special beings and turned into bloodline elixir essences.
When integrated into one's descendants' bloodlines, these elixirs could benefit an entire family line for eons, a tempting prospect for any aspiring evolutionary.
"Speaking of which, I also have a Three-Headed Ice Wolf bloodline essence elixir," Lin Yuan mused, a smile forming on his face as he recalled something.
The Three-Headed Ice Wolf bloodline essence elixir was one of the legacies of the eighth-tier evolutionary, Ou Yin. It originated from the special life form known as the Three-Headed Ice Wolf.
Back then, the eighth-tier evolutionary, Ou Yin, had slaughtered countless Three-Headed Ice Wolves to create this very bloodline essence elixir.
"I should be able to make eight or nine bloodline essence elixirs," Lin Yuan calculated roughly, based on the blood left behind by 'Shang Shan' and 'Ao Du'.
These two special beings were enormous, almost rivaling ordinary life planets in size, and their vital essence was far more abundant than that of the Three-Headed Ice Wolf.
While the Three-Headed Ice Wolf was also a special life form, its size was only a few dozen meters, paling in comparison to 'Shang Shan' and 'Ao Du'.
"Eight or nine bloodline essence elixirs... even if each one only fetches three thousand units of cosmic crystal, that's still nearly thirty thousand units in total," Lin Yuan's mood improved considerably.
Many eighth-tier human evolutions had accumulated wealth and possessions worth only around ten thousand units of cosmic crystal.
Yet, Lin Yuan's haul from these two special beings was equivalent to the combined wealth of three eighth-tier evolutions, and that was just from the bloodline essence.
This estimate was also a conservative one; most bloodline essence elixirs were worth far more than three thousand units of cosmic crystal.
Next, Lin Yuan began to examine the myriad treasures of these two special beings.
"They really are wealthy. No wonder they demanded twenty thousand cosmic crystals," Lin Yuan marveled.
The combined value of the treasures, minerals, and weapons collected by 'Shang Shan' and 'Ao Du' exceeded sixty thousand units of cosmic crystal.
'Shang Shan' had contributed over forty thousand units, while 'Ao Du' had added more than twenty thousand units to the total.
Including the bloodline essence elixirs that could be created from their blood, Lin Yuan's gains from this trip were estimated to be over a hundred thousand units of cosmic crystal.
"I didn't expect to recoup the cost of the galaxy's star modification so quickly," Lin Yuan said, a smile playing on his lips.
The B-grade modification of the Milky Way's main star had cost him a hundred thousand units of cosmic crystal.
Lin Yuan had initially thought that he would only be able to earn that back once the Milky Way Star Field was fully operational and its trade routes established.
But now, merely by dealing with these two special beings, he had broken even.
"Let's continue."
"There are a few more targets."
Without delay, Lin Yuan set off in another direction.
Having obtained detailed information about the numerous special beings and solitary aliens inhabiting the Milky Way Star Field, he categorized them into two types.
The first type included beings like 'Shang Shan' and 'Ao Du', who fed on planets and only brought harm to the Milky Way Star Field.
Thus, Lin Yuan's approach to these special beings was straightforward: either immediate annihilation to prevent future troubles, or expulsion from the star field.
The second type comprised those who had caused no harm to the star field and could coexist with the Milky Way Star Field, forming a symbiotic relationship. Some special life forms could produce treasures and rarities that had incredible effects on human evolutions.
As long as these special life forms were obedient, Lin Yuan was happy to let them stay, even providing protection for them.
The target Lin Yuan was heading towards now belonged to the first category of special beings and solitary aliens.
Having tasted success, Lin Yuan knew that he had to act swiftly before news spread and the special beings fled in fear.
Hum.
Lin Yuan's figure appeared on a desolate planet.
The massive shadow of World Power loomed over the entire planet, suppressing it under its weight.
Two solitary aliens knelt without hesitation, pleading for their lives, "Spare us, great one! Spare us!"
Compared to 'Shang Shan', the intelligence gathered on these two solitary aliens was clearly lacking, as they hadn't even recognized the Milky Way Star Master.
However, even without knowing Lin Yuan's identity, the oppressive might of the World Power was enough to make them feel the impending end of the world. This man clad in azure armor was far more powerful than them, likely a peak eighth-tier expert.
"Great one, there must be some misunderstanding between us. Please, give us a chance to explain," the two solitary aliens pleaded, their postures exuding extreme humility.
Lin Yuan looked down at them from afar, "You feed on the souls of living beings. When humans migrate here, will they not become your prey?"
"You cannot stay."
Lin Yuan delivered their verdict without hesitation.
It was best to eliminate all potential threats now, before human citizens began migrating to this star field, or it might become a troublesome issue later on.
"Human citizens will migrate here..."
The two solitary aliens felt a chill in their hearts. While they did enjoy consuming the souls of living beings, they had never preyed on human citizens before.
However, before they could think any further, their consciousness faded into darkness.
With a slight thought from Lin Yuan, the two solitary aliens were reduced to dust.
In theory, these two solitary aliens had never harmed humans.
But to be safe, Lin Yuan didn't bother making distinctions; they were aliens, and they fed on souls. Keeping them wouldn't bring any benefit.
Killing them was the simplest solution.
As for expelling them? The neighboring star fields all belonged to human civilizations.
Expelling them to another star field would only cause trouble for the humans there.
Half a day later, Lin Yuan appeared before a star.
In the distance, an alien covered in scales and sporting a sharp horn on its head was fleeing for its life.
However, upon catching sight of Lin Yuan standing in the distance, it came to a halt, its expression one of utter despair.
"Milky Way Star Master, I admit that my actions were cruel, but they were directed only at the Shadow Tribe," the horned alien said, unable to restrain itself any longer.
Without a moment's hesitation, this alien fled for its life, unaware of why the newly advanced eighth-tier Milky Way Star Master could easily slaughter several eighth-tier aliens.
But it had made the right choice to run.
"Since that is the case, the Shadow Tribe has withdrawn, why are you still lingering in this star field?"
Lin Yuan looked at the screaming alien and spoke calmly.
"I..."
The horned alien was momentarily lost for words.
The reason it had stayed was naturally to test the temperament of the new Star Master.
If the new Star Master was lax and indifferent, then it would continue its ways, occasionally devouring human citizens for its cultivation, just as it had in the past.
But if the new Star Master was strong and assertive, then it would obediently leave.
This was the mindset of most special beings and solitary aliens.
However, they never imagined that the Milky Way Star Master would be so decisive and ruthless, not giving them any opportunity to test the waters.
Whoosh!
The next moment, the horned alien's body turned to dust.
Without wasting any words on the screaming alien, Lin Yuan immediately took action and continued on his way to the next target.
Lin Yuan's approach to these special beings and solitary aliens was straightforward: if they fell into the first category, they would be killed without hesitation.
Most Star Masters of the human civilization were quite gentle in their ways and would not take a life unless it directly harmed human citizens.
But Lin Yuan's methods were evidently more ruthless. In the vast universe where strength reigned supreme, if the human civilization ever declined, these aliens would surely slaughter humans without mercy.
Therefore, even if some solitary aliens had not acted against human citizens, as long as Lin Yuan sensed that they harbored such intentions, he would show no quarter.
When dealing with their own kind, humans judged others by their actions, but when it came to aliens, Lin Yuan would not let them off easily unless they submitted to the human civilization or formed an alliance with it.
He would not spare those who could be spared.
Days later, Lin Yuan had essentially wiped out the first category of special beings and solitary aliens.
Over ninety percent of these special beings and solitary aliens had perished by Lin Yuan's hand, while the remaining ten percent had managed to escape by sheer luck.
There was no other way; if he went after them one by one, the news would spread quickly, and some of the aliens had their main bodies elsewhere, with only their avatars present in the Milky Way Star Field. When their avatars were destroyed, their main bodies would get the message and spread the word, allowing some solitary aliens to escape in time.
However, overall, Lin Yuan's departure from the Milky Way's main star had yielded fruitful results, and his primary objective had been largely accomplished.
Those first-category special beings and solitary aliens had practically disappeared from the Milky Way Star Field.
As Lin Yuan unleashed a killing spree on the special beings and solitary aliens within the Milky Way Star Field, it naturally attracted the attention of other forces.
Most of these forces were special being clans, which Lin Yuan had categorized as the second type, and since they could potentially aid the development of the Milky Way Star Field, he chose to ignore them.
"In this star field, many seventh and eighth-tier powerhouses have perished, including thirteen seventh-tiers and one eighth-tier that I personally knew."
"What in the world is going on? Those eighth-tier special beings, each with incredible means of self-preservation, who could possibly kill them so easily?"
"Some of the alien powerhouses I knew have also died."
In a clan of special beings known as the Flower God Clan, several powerful members gathered together, their discussions filled with unease.
While the Flower God Clan was a special being clan, their prowess in direct combat was not remarkable, and they were capable of normal reproduction.
Members of the Flower God Clan could brew a wine known as the Flower God Wine, which, when consumed by most beings, granted a period of heightened clarity of mind, greatly benefiting the understanding of rules and secret arts.
It was because of this wine that the Flower God Clan had barely survived under the rule of the Shadow Tribe, offering it as a tribute.
"Have you noticed that the seventh and eighth-tier powerhouses who died were all the brutal sort who would devour planets at the slightest provocation?"
A member of the Flower God Clan who appeared as a young girl suddenly spoke up.
She was a seventh-tier powerhouse and currently one of the strongest members of the Flower God Clan.
However, the seventh-tier powerhouses of the Flower God Clan were generally the weakest among their peers, even inferior to human evolutions who had only achieved the seventh-tier through evolution potions and possessed merely the baseline destructive power of that tier.
"Yes."
"That's true."
"Even eighth-tier powerhouses have died, yet our Flower God Clan remains unscathed."
The other members of the Flower God Clan reacted and began to discuss the matter animatedly.
Just then, a Flower God Clan member with butterfly wings on her back frowned slightly.
She stood up and addressed the rest, "Everyone, I've just received some news."
This member of the Flower God Clan surveyed the group with a solemn expression.
"What news?"
"What news did you receive?"
"Come on, tell us, what's this news about?"
One by one, the members of the Flower God Clan inquired, knowing that any news received at this time was likely related to the mysterious deaths of the seventh and eighth-tier aliens.
"The one who took action against those seventh and eighth-tier aliens is the Milky Way Star Master, the unparalleled genius of the human civilization. This time, he acted to eradicate all unstable factors within the Milky Way Star Field."
The Flower God Clan member who had stood up spoke with a serious tone.
"The Milky Way Star Master?"
"I've heard of this human genius, but wasn't he supposed to have just entered the eighth-tier?"
"Yes, he's newly advanced to the eighth-tier, yet he slaughtered those peak eighth-tier aliens as if they were mere pigs and dogs?"
The members of the Flower God Clan were shocked to their core.
Those eighth-tier special beings and solitary aliens, each with their extraordinary means and formidable combat skills, had all been killed? There were two possibilities.
One, these eighth-tier special beings and solitary aliens were all frauds, incapable of putting up a decent fight.
However, this possibility was practically non-existent. If that were the case, how could they have coexisted peacefully with the Shadow Tribe for so many years? Were they expecting the Shadow Tribe to be charitable?
The other possibility was that the Milky Way Star Master's strength was unbelievably formidable, which was why he could easily deal with those special beings and solitary aliens.
"I'm relieved that our Flower God Clan has some use, otherwise..." The Flower God Clan member who had stood up earlier sighed.
According to the information she had received, the Milky Way Star Master's slaughter was not indiscriminate but rather a targeted pursuit.
The Flower God Clan posed no threat to the star field and could even brew the Flower God Wine, which greatly benefited human evolutions. Perhaps that was why the Milky Way Star Master had spared them?
"Alright."
"It doesn't matter what you think."
The Flower God Clan member calmed herself, suppressing the shock in her heart, and continued, "In the past, the rulers of this star field were the Shadow Tribe and those powerful special beings and solitary aliens."
"Now, the ruler of this star field is only one person."
As she said this, she paused for a moment, her voice carrying a weight of finality:
"And that is the Milky Way Star Master."
