Chapter 408 165: Star Mouse, Three-Headed Monster

The Outer Domain Battlefield.

A vast nebula churned as countless stars bloomed with light.

Bathed in the starlight, Chen Yu's figure zipped through the void. He watched the innumerable stars, his guard perpetually raised.

His figure landed on a dead star. Chen Yu's Force Field swept out, covering the entire celestial body.

"Hmm?"

In just an instant, Chen Yu sensed that something was off.

His powerful Force Field detected the presence of Life Fluctuations.

But the feedback from the Force Field showed nothing out of the ordinary; no sign of life appeared.

And yet, the Life Fluctuations were exceptionally clear.

He carefully examined the feedback frame by frame, missing nothing. Soon, Chen Yu spotted the anomaly.

His gaze shifted to the other side of the star. With a flicker of movement, he vanished in an instant.

A moment later, Chen Yu arrived on the star's opposite side.

The temperature on this side of the star was extremely low, as if he had stepped into some kind of Ice Purgatory.

However, with his physique, the biting cold had little effect on him.

Standing atop a hundred-meter-tall barren peak, Chen Yu's gaze fell upon a ravine ahead.

The desolate ravine appeared still, but in his eyes, it was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.

SWOOSH—!!

Just then, a grayish-white beam of light shot out from the ravine at an incredible speed.

The moment the grayish-white light arrived, Chen Yu's figure abruptly vanished.

BOOM—!!!

With a tremendous roar, the hundred-meter-tall peak was obliterated, razed to the ground.

Countless shards of rock flew through the air, and the ground trembled violently.

From the depths of the ravine, a creature a full hundred meters in size emerged.

Its eyes were scarlet. It looked like a mouse, but its size was frankly absurd.

Its skin was the same color as the star's surface; if not for its scarlet eyes, it would have been nearly invisible.

"A Star Mouse..."

Chen Yu stared at the hundred-meter "mouse."

This was a Star Mouse, one of the most common types of Starry Sky Beast on the Outer Domain Battlefield.

They could merge with stars and were exceptionally skilled at hiding.

Their attack speed was ferocious!

And this type of Starry Sky Beast was merely the lowest tier.

But even the most common Starry Sky Beast on the Outer Domain Battlefield was a Late-stage Nine existence.

With their freakish bodies, powerful defense, extraordinary speed, and innate special abilities, they could go head-to-head with a Human Race Ninth Level Peak expert and not be at a disadvantage.

'No, there must be more!' Chen Yu's gaze sharpened as he watched the Star Mouse.

Star Mice usually appeared in groups of three to five.

A lone Star Mouse was a rare sight.

For only one to appear was highly unusual.

There were definitely others hiding, he just hadn't found them yet.

"SWISH!"

"SWISH!"

"SWISH!"

Just as Chen Yu was about to search for the other Star Mice, three more grayish-white beams suddenly shot toward him.

They converged from three different directions, carrying a destructive force.

"BOOM!!!"

With a deafening roar, the surrounding rocks trembled and were annihilated by the terrifying power, ground into fine dust.

Dust plumed into the sky!

Unlike other regions of space, the Outer Domain wasn't a perfect vacuum. Only the deepest void was semi-vacuum. Landing on a star here was no different from being on the Stellar Battlefield.

This was due to the unique Cosmic Laws of the Outer Domain Battlefield.

As the dust settled, Chen Yu stood in the same spot, his figure unmoving.

With his formidable Life Force Field, he had blocked the attack head-on.

The Life Force Field's strength was determined by the strength of his Life Force. With his current Life Force, the power of his manifested Life Force Field was immense.

He could withstand a joint attack from multiple Ninth Level Peak experts with his Life Force Field alone, as long as they weren't monstrous prodigies like Nangong Ba.

"SQUEAK!!!"

A few strange cries rang out. Chen Yu looked into the distance. Including the one in the ravine, a total of five Star Mice had appeared.

Their eyes were scarlet, and their bodies were shrouded in a ghastly white light.

Their gazes were utterly ferocious!

"Five of them... Not bad!"

Chen Yu smiled faintly. With a thought, the void distorted in the next instant, and five bolts of Destructive Celestial Light descended.

BOOM!!!

The star shuddered and the ground split apart.

The blast erupted, completely engulfing the five Star Mice.

"Hmm?"

'Their Defense Power is insane. They're still alive!'

Chen Yu was surprised to feel the Life Qi of four Star Mice still present.

To survive a direct hit from the Destructive Celestial Light made them even more monstrous than an average Ninth Level Peak expert.

His first encounter with a Starry Sky Beast from the Outer Domain Battlefield was quite a shock, but the more powerful they were, the happier he was!

The stronger they were, the more Source of Life he could harvest.

"ROAR!!!"

The five Star Mice roared. They had withstood the Destructive Celestial Light, though not without injury. After roaring, they charged at Chen Yu in unison.

Their speed was extraordinary, beyond compare!

But in Chen Yu's eyes, they were slow!

"BANG! BANG! BANG!!!"

The moment the five Star Mice closed in, Chen Yu threw five punches at superluminal speed.

He didn't use Divine Power, just the pure physical strength of his body. Five punches utterly shattered the five Star Mice's heads.

"THUD!!!"

Their enormous bodies crashed down like meteorites, carving deep craters in the ground.

"Twelve billion... Not bad."

Seeing the surge in his Source of Life, the smile on Chen Yu's face grew even brighter.

Then, with a single thought, he instantly plundered the Life Force of the five Star Mice, forming five brilliant Life Light Groups. He swallowed them in one gulp and refined them in an instant.

Not only was his own expended energy restored, but his power rose to a new level.

Looking into the depths of the void, Chen Yu had a look of contentment.

'What a great place...'

In half a day, he had gained twelve billion Source of Life. His goal of fifty billion was within reach.

He scanned the entire star one more time. Finding no more traces of Life Fluctuations, Chen Yu vanished directly into the void.

But just after Chen Yu disappeared, two figures appeared in the void, on another star.

It was two of the three True Gods.

"We don't need to keep an eye on this guy anymore. As long as a True God doesn't show up, he won't be in any danger," the middle-aged True God said.

The female True God nodded, and then, the two True Gods' figures quickly vanished.

—

'Thirty billion left...'

In the Outer Domain's starry expanse, Chen Yu ventured deeper.

In half a day's time, he had already earned twenty billion Source of Life.

Only the final thirty billion remained to complete his goal.

"Hmm?"

As he traveled through the void, Chen Yu's figure suddenly stopped. He landed on a meteor, suppressed his Life Qi until it vanished completely, and circulated his Qi to merge perfectly with the rock, becoming like an inanimate object.

His gaze penetrated the depths of the void, where several figures came into view.

There were three figures, humanoid in shape, but their Life Fluctuations were completely different from those of the Human Race.

Their skin was red, as if dyed.

They were speeding through the void, seemingly fleeing for their lives.

'Three Ninth Level Peak members of an Alien Race are on the run... Could a True God be chasing them?!'

Soon, the truth revealed itself!

From the depths of the void, a golden monster over ten thousand meters in size appeared in his vision.

Lightning crackled around its body!

The monster had three long, draconic heads and a pair of golden wings.

Its presence was exceptionally domineering!

Its aura was also far more terrifying than that of a typical Ninth Level Peak expert!

It was an existence infinitely close to a True God.

It had even begun to manifest a Divine Power aura!
