On the platform of the Spatial Gate five days later, more than a dozen Stellar Hunters stood atop it.
With a wave of spatial fluctuations, a radiant portal appeared before them.
This was the Spatial Gate, utilizing space folding technology to connect the vastness of interstellar space, allowing one to traverse light-years in a single step.
The concept of space folding is quite simple to understand. Imagine space as a piece of paper with two points on either end; by folding the paper, the distance between those two points shrinks from immense to nearly nonexistent. This is what space folding entails.
“Brother Xiar, are you really not considering it? The planet we are heading to requires at least Soldier Rank, and it seems you haven't fully completed your Evolution yet,” Oniens inquired once more from the group.
“Don’t worry, I’m ready,” Xiar replied with a smile.
In recent times, under Vilanica's guidance, his strength had undergone a tremendous transformation, and he was just one step away from Totem Fusion Super Evolution.
What he needed next was endless hunting—slaying powerful creatures in the starry sky and plundering their Source of Origin to facilitate his Evolution.
This was precisely what Stellar Hunters typically did.
As for his relationship with Vilanica, they had established a Soul Contract, binding them together on the same war chariot, both aiming to save Source Star through Kingdom Establishment at any cost!
This bond transcended mere marriage; it was an unbreakable trust that deepened with their growing strength. It represented absolute faith in one another.
It’s worth noting that this contract had once bound a Hunter King!
That family had invested heavily in nurturing the Hunter King when he was weak and later exhausted all resources, nearly going bankrupt to grant him the power of Kingdom Establishment. From then on, he became the family's strongest guardian, promising to protect them for ten thousand years!
A Fourth-Level Spirit Master, which corresponds to Soldier Rank, has a maximum lifespan of 500 years—this is the lifespan of the soul. If one does not break through this level limit, their soul will collapse and perish!
The Soldier Level lasts for a thousand years, General Rank for ten thousand years, while Kingdom Establishment boasts a lifespan of up to one hundred thousand years!
Even planets and galaxies have lifespans; no living being can achieve immortality. Even those colossal star beasts known for their longevity cannot surpass the ultimate threshold of one million years. Unless they break through this level limit and completely coexist with the universe in life and death!
Upon crossing through the portal, the light suddenly dimmed. Xiar was astonished to find himself in the vastness of space before a massive blue planet that stirred something deep within him.
It felt as if he had seen it somewhere before!
However, upon closer observation, the initial sensation faded away, revealing a completely unfamiliar world.
A group of Stellar Hunters appeared in the void millions of kilometers away from the planet, with a portal shimmering with Silver Light quietly standing in the starry sky behind them.
One by one, the Stellar Hunters rapidly flew toward the planet, and Xiar began to control his Source Energy Armor, entering the planet alongside them.
As they approached, he was astonished to see that the plants on this planet were enormous, towering hundreds to thousands of meters high. Various terrifying beasts roamed through the giant tree forest.
"Brother Xiar, let's move together and speed up! This time, the Spatial Gate will only exist three times. If we miss these three, you'll have to wait and see if there will be another Spatial Gate!" Oniens' voice resonated with a soul wave.
This wave belonged to a mysterious soul energy that could bypass most energy interference in the universe. Even at distances of hundreds or thousands of kilometers apart, they could communicate with each other, making it the primary means of communication in the starry expanse.
"Alright, let's speed up," Xiar replied.
In the next moment, his speed doubled as he shot toward the planet like a bolt of lightning, only slowing down once he entered the atmosphere.
Stellar Hunters, as their name suggests, hunted various monsters in the cosmos. Their target this time was to hunt valuable monsters on this planet.
This was a Primal Life Planet recently discovered by the Hunter's Guild, devoid of any intelligent beings; they only needed to focus on hunting. Upon returning, a portion of their materials would be submitted to offset corresponding costs, while the rest would belong to them—this was the mainstream hunting process for Stellar Hunters.
Caw!
Just as they flew ten thousand meters above ground, a Black Giant Bird charged at him with flapping wings.
The giant bird had a wingspan of several dozen meters but could not impede his speed at all. He burned with flames as he shot through its midst.
In an instant, the giant bird Ling Kong exploded, flesh and blood splattering everywhere; an Ultimate Form beast was thus slain by Ling Kong!
With the formidable defense of his Source Energy Armor, Xiar could completely disregard the opponent's attacks and simply crash through at high speed to kill it!
Buzz!
He hovered atop a tree hundreds of meters tall, his mental energy sweeping out in all directions as he began searching for traces of powerful monsters.
The monsters in this world were entirely different from those on Source Star; they resembled creatures from a world opened by Source Gate after Source Star. All living beings were undergoing rapid Evolution, ultimately forming a brilliant era of Evolutionary life.
However, the monsters of Super Evolution are ultimately very few; each one possesses a vast territory on the planet, almost equivalent to the area of Source Nation.
Fortunately, this planet is enormous, roughly estimated to be even larger than Source Star, and there are definitely more than a dozen Super Evolution monsters.
"Brother, hurry! I’ve discovered a monster that is about to evolve to Soldier Level. Come quickly so we can take it down together!" At that moment, a soul wave transmitted from afar; it was Oniens' message. Xiar immediately surged toward Oniens' location at ten times the speed of sound.
As he approached within several thousand meters, he finally saw the true form of the monster—it was a rare Plant Monster.
This creature had black leaves and branches that attacked relentlessly like sharp blades, reminding Xiar of the Great Banyan Tree that blocked out the sun.
The monster's attack power was incredibly fierce, facing off against Oniens directly, making even the usually violent Oniens unable to get close. Instead, they were being beaten back and left in disarray.
The ground trembled as this towering creature, hundreds of meters tall and stretching over a thousand meters wide, unleashed its attacks like missiles, obliterating everything around it.
Soon after, various monsters residing on the black giant tree took flight, launching suicide attacks against Oniens. Although they posed no real threat to him, they severely disrupted his combat effectiveness, leaving him at a disadvantage.
Just then, Xiar arrived!
