Chapter 425: Chapter 348: God Prohibition Device, Power Surge_1

"COO... COO!"

Gugu Bird argued vehemently, but the evasive look in its eyes told Lu Yuan it was hiding something.

Lu Yuan was too lazy to argue further. He simply tossed the "counterfeit" Phoenix Feather back to it, then picked up the Pure Golden Acorn and popped it into his mouth.

"Forget it, I’ll just eat it myself... You’ve shown no sincerity," he said.

"COO COO!"

Only when Lu Yuan actually moved to eat the Pure Golden Acorn did the Gugu Bird finally panic.

It burst into a series of frantic coos, struggling to explain.

It said that Phoenix Feathers could only persist in the world if a Phoenix failed its fiery rebirth. Otherwise, they would have long been incinerated by the flames. The immortal lifeblood within these feathers might be drained from some but remain in others, leading to subtle "internal differences."

The feather it had given Lu Yuan was indeed a genuine Phoenix Feather, just... not the "best" one. The best one was of great use to it and was absolutely not something it would trade to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan listened, his expression peculiar. This is the first time I’ve heard that a Phoenix’s rebirth can actually fail?

Though it sounded a bit absurd, Gugu Bird’s words were earnest, and it didn’t seem to be lying.

"I’ll confirm it."

Lu Yuan thought for a moment, then took back the feather he had tossed to Gugu Bird and tried to activate Mysterious Perception on it.

With frequent use, the Mysterious Perception skill had leveled up quickly and was now Lv.2.

Mysterious Perception activated. Fragmented, hazy information flowed from the golden feather into Lu Yuan’s mind.

In a daze, Lu Yuan saw fire.

Fire was everywhere.

Crimson, orange, gold, blue, purple...

Countless chaotic and raging flames burned through the sky, melting everything.

Within the flames, something seemed to be struggling desperately. An incredibly beautiful yet sorrowful and pain-filled cry echoed out.

Suddenly, a fiercely burning fireball plummeted from the inferno, crashing to the ground.

An unknown amount of time passed. The flames died down, revealing a golden feather, its base broken and its luster dim...

"PHEW—"

Lu Yuan opened his eyes, lost in thought.

Based on the information from the golden feather, Gugu Bird seemed to be telling the truth. If the scene he witnessed was truly a Phoenix’s rebirth, it certainly looked like an accident had occurred, and the feather was indeed from a real Phoenix.

But... what does this have to do with me? he wondered. What I need are Legendary Level materials. A Phoenix Feather that isn’t Legendary Level is of little value to me.

It’s not entirely useless, though. At least it can help me unlock a new Extraordinary Profession.

After a moment’s thought, Lu Yuan didn’t return the feather. Instead, he picked a half-ripe acorn from his own four and tossed it to Gugu Bird.

"A defective Phoenix Feather naturally only gets you a defective acorn. Take it or leave it..."

"COO COO! (No way!)"

Gugu Bird shrieked in anger, cooing insistently for Lu Yuan to give it the golden acorn.

Lu Yuan ignored it. He bit down on the Pure Golden Acorn in his mouth with a few crunches, and then, under Gugu Bird’s "despairing" gaze... swallowed it.

BOOM!

The instant the acorn entered his stomach, an unprecedented surge of Super Evil God Factor and a tidal wave of energy erupted within Lu Yuan’s body.

His internal "Blood Pill" instantly swelled like an overinflated balloon.

The four Basic Attributes on his status panel also began to fluctuate wildly.

RUMBLE...

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

Thunder rumbled in his chest, his organs glowed, his blood surged like a tide, and his flesh and bones resonated in unison...

A dense white light even seeped through his skin, making him glow like an incandescent bulb.

Lu Yuan ate all three acorns in one go.

Immediately after, he consumed all the oak leaves he had plucked.

The "COO COO COO" chirping never ceased in his ears. Even with his eyes closed, he could picture Gugu Bird stomping its feet in anger nearby.

Finally...

Everything was absorbed and digested.

Lu Yuan opened his eyes.

Within the gloomy forest, it was as if lightning briefly flashed.

He stood up.

His entire body resonated, and an invisible power emanated from him, stirring the air into a wind around him.

He had grown stronger... much stronger.

......

"Can we find him?"

In the conference room, the leader of the Distant Star Federation gravely asked his subordinates.

At that moment, nearly all discussion in the conference room centered on one subject.

Seventh-level...

The Mysterious Hidden Star...

Updates on several targeted exploration missions scrolled across the virtual screen in the center of the conference room. During this time, the joint exploration team had successfully acquired several Treasures. One, a branch-like Treasure, was exceptionally valuable, even surpassing the Phoenix Feather they had previously obtained.

However, very few paid it much attention, merely glancing at it before looking away.

"We can’t find him."

The man with glasses shook his head. "Ash Mountain is too vast, and its legendary aura is too dense. Even with the support of Chasing God, special signals can’t penetrate many areas, or we receive no feedback at all..."

The Distant Star Federation leader frowned but said nothing, turning to look at Kase beside him.

Kase had been examining several analytical reports since the meeting began.

"President Kase, have you discovered anything?" the Distant Star Federation leader inquired.

Kase set down the report, his brow furrowed slightly as he looked up.

"According to the report, that Hidden Star does indeed possess seventh-level strength. But he appears to be only at the initial stage of the seventh level, not overwhelmingly powerful. However, the methods he employed midway were quite peculiar..."

"Oh? How so?"

"He seems to have mastered a terrifying ability that can directly attack an opponent’s soul," Kase stated.

"Directly attack... the soul?!"

The Distant Star Federation leader blinked, then mused, "Are you referring to a spiritual-type attack?"

"No, it’s different."

Kase shook his head, explaining, "Spiritual attacks damage an opponent’s mental will. Such spiritual injuries can be healed and recovered from. But soul attacks are different..."

Kase paused, then said bluntly, "Heinz’s injury assessment report indicates that his normal and violent personalities were directly erased. His demon personality, however, didn’t sustain overly severe trauma."

"I think I understand what you mean."

A hint of wonder crept into the Distant Star Federation leader’s eyes as he spoke slowly.

"This reminds me of those who perished in the stellar forbidden zones—even their uploaded consciousnesses were forcibly erased, making resurrection utterly impossible."

Kase nodded. "Correct."

The Distant Star Federation leader pondered for a moment. "Could it be a special ability of the Evil God Power from the Crow God Sect? For instance, that enormous black crow projection..."

"Perhaps..."

Kase didn’t dwell on this point and instead asked, "Is there any way to find him?"

The Distant Star Federation leader’s eyes flickered as he said, "It’s difficult... but I don’t think it’s impossible."

He casually switched the display on the light screen.

Soon, several images appeared. One image showed an unidentified beast bone emitting a red glow; another depicted a mysterious black stone tablet engraved with a Phoenix design...

"These are all top-tier Treasures we have yet to obtain. Since that man came to contend for the acorn, he might well be interested in these..."

"You mean... set a trap in advance to lure him in."

Kase immediately grasped his meaning.

The Distant Star Federation leader nodded. "We’ll try. If it doesn’t work, we’ll devise another plan."

"I think it’s feasible. But..."

Kase considered for a moment, frowning. "He’s seventh-level and possesses special abilities. With our current strength, can we actually capture him?"

"Not difficult."

The Distant Star Federation leader tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his tone relaxed. "Although he’s seventh-level, his weaknesses are obvious.

"First, he’s not skilled in close combat. Without a full power burst, even sixth-level Heinz could easily overwhelm him.

"Second, his abilities rely on Evil God Power. We have many ways to deal with a Hidden Star. The simplest and most effective is..."

The Distant Star Federation leader smiled. "The God Prohibition Device. It can greatly suppress Evil Energy Fluctuation within a certain range. Even Thor fears this, let alone a Hidden Star merely at the initial stage of the seventh level..."

"The God Prohibition Device."

Hearing this term, Kase’s brow twitched slightly. He hadn’t expected the Distant Star Federation to have even prepared this. Requisitioning it on short notice would be impossible; it must have been prepared beforehand. Could it be these people have always planned to capture the Phoenix alive in Ash Mountain? Such grand ambitions.

"...Just in case, I’ve also specially deployed two sets of Sky-level Armaments. The pilots are both sixth-level Supernovas. With the might of the Sky-level Armaments, piloted by sixth-level Supernovas, they can unleash combat power comparable to the seventh level in their ultimate state. Coupled with the effects of the God Prohibition Device, I believe suppressing an initial-stage seventh-level shouldn’t be a problem."

The Distant Star Federation leader spoke with calm confidence.

He looked up at the light screen before him and said casually, "Now, the only thing we need to consider... is whether he will actually come."

Gradually, silence fell over the conference room.

No one spoke, their faces all showing the keen anticipation of hunters awaiting their prey.

.....

[Name: Lu Yuan]

[Age: 17]

[Strength: 32 (Break the Limit 2)] 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

[Agility: 32 (Break the Limit 2)]

[Constitution: 32 (Break the Limit 2)]

[Intelligence: 34 (Break the Limit 2)]

My three Basic Attributes—Strength, Agility, and Constitution—all increased by 2 points, and Intelligence increased by 1 point. That’s a comprehensive increase of 7 attribute values. Converted to attribute points, that’s a whopping... 21 points!

WHOOSH—

Lu Yuan exhaled deeply. The white mist he breathed out shot out like a sharp blade, piercing a thick ancient tree several meters away and leaving a two-finger-wide, unfathomably deep hole.

A huge improvement!

If I could get a few more Pure Golden Acorns, I might be able to Break the Limit three times in one go... That would save me so many attribute points, Lu Yuan thought with a sigh.

He checked his internal condition again.

With the significant increase in his four attributes, his First Turn Blood Pill had also swelled by several times, now the size of an adult’s fist. It spun steadily in his chest, wreathed in innumerable dense, blood-red strands.

My normal combat strength has now fully reached the third level. With 34 Intelligence, my Spiritual Power is equivalent to the mid-stage of the fourth level... Combined with the various techniques of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, I should have no problem handling fifth-level opponents in my normal state.

If I use the Double Flower Fusion Secret Skill, my Spiritual Power, amplified ninefold, could instantly surge to the mid-stage of the seventh level.

I still have three attribute points unused. If I use them and add them to Intelligence... when I activate the Double Flower Fusion Secret Skill, my Spiritual Power could reach the high stage of the seventh level, infinitely close to the eighth level!
