Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 598 - 332: Star Beast

Lu Yu and the other three were enveloped by Zhao Tianjue's power, speeding through the void.

As he looked around, he could only see endless darkness. The number of stars in the void was very few, unlike the starry sky above, sprawling across the heavens.

Before long, Lu Yu saw a purple star rapidly enlarging in his eyes, and he understood that was his destination—the Yao Star.

The Yao Star is a very special star in the void, where the law of stars on the Yao Star is broken, making most of the higher-level void creatures dare not approach this star.

Logically, the breaking of the law of stars should be a deadly catastrophe for a star, with its collapse imminent.

However, the Yao Star is somewhat special, not only stable for millions of years but also nurturing unique life forms—star beasts.

These star beasts have grown in a world of broken laws since birth, inherently containing the law of stars within them, allowing them to safely live on a star with broken laws.

Super disasters frequently erupt on Yao Star, and star beasts, due to their innate law of stars, naturally possess the ability to avoid these disasters.

Every twenty years, the spiritual qi tides of the Yao Star calm for a period, allowing beings from other stars to enter, hunt star beasts, seize the law of stars, and enhance their own aptitude.

The law of stars is a part of the world's law. Absorbing the fragmented law of stars within star beasts makes one closer to the world law, thereby simplifying cultivation.

In other words, it improves one's cultivation aptitude.

Acquiring the law of stars for this world can also earn rewards from the world, allowing one to go further under extreme conditions.

"Since star beasts are closely linked to Yao Star, when too many are hunted, a natural disaster will erupt prematurely. Before it explodes, one must leave Yao Star, or even those at the Divine Fraction Realm cannot survive on it," Zhao Tianjue warned everyone.

He was actually informing Lu Yu, as the other three were quite aware of the Yao Star selection without needing further explanation.

"Thank you, Master, for the warning," Lu Yu said, clasping his fists.

A glimmer flashed in his eyes. After listening to Zhao Tianjue, Lu Yu realized one thing.

That is, he and the other three are competitors, not companions.

Surpassing a certain number of slain star beasts will trigger the premature eruption of natural disasters, meaning the number of star law fragments obtainable on Yao Star is limited.

If someone gains more, someone else must gain less, and by then, everyone on Yao Star is a competitor.

This is also why Ling Long Tianwu previously declined to form a team with Owen Zhi.

Zhao Tianjue stood with everyone in the void, with the massive purple star beneath his feet.

There was no atmosphere on the star, and Lu Yu could clearly see the objects moving on its surface. Although the sight was not very clear, he could discern that the star beasts were unusually large, each resembling ancient beasts.

Those participating in the Yao Star selection were all Martial Cultivators at the peak of the Qi Sea realm. On one hand, only Qi Sea realm peak Martial Cultivators could deal with the weakest of the star beasts, and on the other hand, only they could ensure long-term survival in such a harsh environment.

Yes, even the weakest star beasts on Yao Star required the strength of a Qi Sea realm peak to contend with.

Even for the monstrous geniuses Long Jie, Owen Zhi, and Ling Long Tianwu, hunting star beasts was no easy task, and any slight negligence could cost them dearly, or even lead to their demise on Yao Star.

Compared to the powerful star beasts, the four also had to beware of creatures from other forces, or even other stars and worlds.

Suddenly, the void not far away rippled like water, and a strong spatial fluctuation spread from there.

Immediately after, a figure tens of thousands of meters long flew out from a space tunnel. This was a race similar to insects, and behind this tens of thousands of meters long figure were over ten other figures each a thousand meters long.

"Star Devourer Insect Race!" Ling Long Tianwu exclaimed as she looked at the massive creature that appeared beside them, an authentic starry sky race known for leaving no star intact, consuming stars to enhance their strength, infamous across the starry sky.

Zhao Tianjue watched expressionlessly as the Star Devourer Insect Race appeared not far away. After moving through the space tunnel, the tens of thousands of meters long Star Devourer Insect felt a strong power nearby and turned its body.

Seeing the people as tiny as dust, it rushed over without hesitation, opening its huge mouth meant for devouring stars, intending to swallow them all.

"Consume the source of this powerful force, and I can take another step forward, closer to transformation."

This thought was still in its mind when it realized it couldn't control its body, its eyes rotating to see large areas of carapace and flesh scattered in the void.

"Hiss hiss hiss~" Over ten geniuses of the Star Devourer Insect Race, intending to enter Yao Star, let out horrified screams as more than a dozen bodies over a thousand meters long were compressed into a mass, ultimately forming a meatball less than a meter in diameter.

Zhao Tianjue looked at the flesh and blood splattering all around and found it somewhat displeasing. With a wave of his hand,

all the flesh, carapace, and chaotic energy were wiped away like chalk drawings on a blackboard, disappearing entirely.

In the entire process, Lu Yu and the others did not feel any significant power fluctuations.

Or rather, the fluctuations they felt were the ones generated by the Star Devourer Insect Race's demise, unaware of how Zhao Tianjue exterminated them.
