“Brother, where's the Source Energy Armor? Hehe, it can't be that bad, can it? You even had your armor shattered. Although we Stellar Hunters possess formidable power, without our armor, we can't even leave the planet.”
The voice from above continued, as if using a special ability. Though the language was incomprehensible, its meaning was instantly clear.
It was a remarkable ability, somewhat akin to a mental wave.
However, here, mental energy could not leave the body at all; clearly, the other party possessed a very unique power.
“This is an Invader!” Moko whispered suddenly, revealing the true identity of the opponent.
Invader!
Cecilia was startled. Just moments ago, they had been unaware of the danger, and now they found themselves facing these terrifying beings.
According to Moko, these individuals treated the entire world as a breeding ground, with all Disaster Beasts as their lambs awaiting slaughter.
Now, such a powerful and unparalleled existence appeared before the three of them!
Stellar Hunter?
This seemed to be how they referred to themselves; Invaders likely called themselves this way too. They hunted various powerful monsters across the starry sky, with each planet serving as their hunting ground!
Xiar attempted to respond but found that mental energy could not leave its body. However, communication through thought was still possible.
“Hehe, since you’ve lost your Source Energy Armor, I won’t hold back on this hunt!” The powerful presence above no longer showed any courtesy.
In the next moment, blinding beams of light erupted in the sky, resembling blades falling down and tearing apart the massive Evil Beast like a mountain.
The Evil Beast struggled madly, massive stones breaking away and transforming into projectiles that hurtled toward the figure.
This bombardment resembled falling meteors, instantly engulfing it.
"Hopefully, they'll both be severely injured!" Cecilia couldn't help but silently pray.
Given the opponent's displayed strength, it was clear they had reached Disaster Level without relying on any Totem Beast powers.
However, in the next moment, a colossal phantom suddenly emerged behind the opponent, transforming into a terrifying creature clad in scales.
Then, with a fierce roar, it descended from the sky.
The gigantic phantom, thousands of meters tall, rapidly shrank and in an instant covered the opponent's back, forming something akin to wings. Then, with a powerful punch, the opponent struck downwards.
Once again, a phantom appeared before the fist—this time, it was the claw of that terrifying phantom, crashing down onto the Evil Beast. The entire mountain range trembled and began to collapse!
Thud!
"What terrifying power! This is a completely different application of totem abilities!" Cecilia murmured.
It was evident that the opponent was channeling the power of the totem directly onto themselves rather than merely summoning it to fight independently.
This combat style was far more Frenzied; it was as if they were fully engaging in battle themselves while using the totem merely as a tool!
Clearly, this was the source of their formidable strength and the most suitable fighting method for this world!
The ground crumbled, mountains shattered, and under the relentless assault from the opponent, the massive creature gradually fell apart. Pure brute force crushed such a terrifying Evil Beast!
Xiar held Cecilia tightly as they fled, skillfully dodging the massive falling stones that occasionally rained down around them. The girl buried her face in his chest, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
In this world, gravity seemed far weaker than in the Surface World. Those large rocks could easily soar hundreds or even thousands of meters away, allowing him to leap over a hundred meters high and cover vast distances in a single bound!
Eventually, the enormous Evil Beast suddenly collapsed toward the center, releasing a blinding light that transformed into a dazzling energy, hurtling toward Xiar at incredible speed.
"Brother, that's not fair! I'll only give you thirty percent. Sure, you discovered it, but I did the hunting!" The figure shrouded in armor emitted a wave of energy once more.
In an instant, he vanished from sight, causing Xiar's eyes to widen; even he couldn't track the other's movements!
When the figure reappeared, he was less than fifty meters away, directly intercepting the radiant Grayish White Radiance. He split it in two, taking a large portion for himself and leaving only a small part for Xiar.
Buzz!
Xiar immediately felt a surge of immense energy flowing into his body. A translucent panel appeared before him, and the value for Source Evolution Points at the bottom skyrocketed to 15 points!
Without hesitation, he poured this abundant energy into his previous sacrifice, causing the progress to accelerate exponentially. He could feel himself growing stronger at an astonishing rate.
This enhancement was all-encompassing—speed, physique, strength, and even his previously solidified mental power seemed to be increasing.
Although the numerical values hadn't changed, the quality was infinitely improving. It was like a gradual refining process that expelled impurities, making it increasingly pure!
"Heh heh, this feels amazing! This pure Source Energy is simply addictive!" The armored figure let out an extremely satisfied groan as if engaged in some special activity.
Then he strode over confidently; the armor enveloping his head suddenly vanished to reveal a standard human face.
Aside from his armor, he bore no difference from any other human!
"Brother, let me introduce myself. I am from Bulma Planet, Oniens. What about you?"
"Xiar." Xiar pondered for a long time and barely managed to grasp the way the other spoke.
The way he communicated seemed to be a form of mental energy, but with a more unique wave that directly utilized the soul for transmission. This allowed them to bypass language barriers; upon receiving the message, it would instantly transform into a language one could understand, somewhat akin to simultaneous translation.
"Well, if you don’t want to talk, that's fine. Brother Xiar, you are quite lucky to have caught such a Source Energy creature. If you sell it on the Transaction platform, it should fetch at least ten thousand Source Currency."
The man who called himself Oniens looked enviously at the black-and-white creature beside him. After glancing at Cecilia, a peculiar smile appeared on his face. "Your taste is quite unique; you’re interested in this kind of native!"
Under his gaze, Cecilia immediately clutched Xiar's arm tightly, hiding behind him and not daring to say anything.
Earlier, she had been able to muster some courage in front of the powerful Xiar, even daring to try and deceive him. Now, faced with an even more mysterious and powerful outsider, she completely lost her nerve.
"This is my sister," Xiar said calmly, showing no fear.
The other person immediately displayed a look of realization. "That’s a bit rude then; it turns out you are a warrior capable of Soul Traversal. I truly admire that!"
"This world is very unfriendly to us outsiders. Each traversal is essentially a life-and-death test. Some people have permanently remained there and can never return!"
