Chapter 1718: Chapter 16: Poof!

“You!”

There was a loud explosion in the air, and then the only semi-permanent star-level existence from the Heilong Galaxy turned into a cloud of blood mist.

“Jia Yan, who exactly are you, and what are you trying to do!?”

On the Heilong Galaxy side, a secondary level witnessed this scene and realized that without the semi-permanent star-level leader, the Heilong Galaxy was destined to be annihilated, causing him to cry out in despair.

“Me? I’m Jia Yan…”

Jia Yan sighed long, then took a step back and completely entered the subspace under the attack of the secondary level creature.

“What kind of technique is this? Entering subspace…”

The creatures following in pursuit couldn’t have anticipated such a scene, and they all were shaken.

But then, the battle between the two sides resumed.

No matter which side this creature called Jia Yan belonged to, now he had left, and though it’s certain he wouldn’t be up to anything good, there were still other opponents in front of them.

Both sides continued to fight fiercely.

Jia Yan, who had retreated into the subspace, did not pursue the chase, and with a sigh, he slowly flew towards the direction of the Adisa.

Meanwhile, in the direction of his true body, he still followed behind the avian stellar-level creature, but the shout from the secondary level creature earlier made him sigh slightly in his heart.

“Who am I really?”

Even Jia Yan himself hadn’t expected that the words of an enemy would momentarily affect his heart.

But after that moment passed, he quickly regained his clarity.

“I am who I am.”

“Jia Yan, an Evolutionary Creature, and also a…”

“Star Sky Beast!”

The brilliance in Jia Yan’s eyes flickered again.

Not long after, the avatar returned to the Adisa, while Jia Yan’s real body continued to follow the avian stellar-level strong one.

Even though he was confident in his subspace talent, he still maintained a certain distance.

“I have created so many opportunities for you. Now, you should be able to succeed, right?”

Jia Yan looked calmly at the avian creature outside of space, watching him break through level after level as if well-acquainted, without help, he nodded slightly, thinking this stellar-level strong one was well-prepared for this journey.

“The items in those three rooms would benefit me, and I feel that these things would also benefit other stellar-level strong ones, especially because I am an Evolutionary Creature; I’ve used a lot of energy material before, so my tolerance is higher, which means it might be even more effective for regular creatures.”

Nonetheless, Jia Yan wouldn’t miss anything that could be beneficial to himself.

At a stellar level, items that contribute to great power are few and far between. Each stellar-level individual must cherish any opportunity to obtain great power, and Jia Yan was no exception.

As expected, the stellar-level avian creature didn’t stop in the first room. Instead, he rushed straight to the second room, input a series of passwords using a smart brain-like electronic device, and the door of the second room quickly opened.

“I see, even the sequence for opening doors has its importance?”

Seeing this from a distance, Jia Yan felt fortunate that he didn’t act, thinking that if he did, he surely wouldn’t have obtained anything.

“Let me see now, what’s inside!”

When the stellar-level large bird quickly entered the second room and just as quickly exited, Jia Yan hiding in the subspace suddenly felt an intense yearning within his body!

“Huh, this thing seems to attract me in a way similar to when I encountered the Space Ghost’s true body earlier?”

“It surely has something to do with the Space Ghost!”

Jia Yan sensed a feeling on the avian creature akin to the time he met the Space Ghost, and immediately suspected that this item was related to the so-called Space Ghost.

“Hold back, now is not the time to act…”

Jia Yan looked at the fast-moving giant bird, holding back the urge to act.

Because evidently, the opponent was still collecting items from the other two rooms, acting now would decrease his chances.

The large avian creature was completely unaware that another stellar-level strong one had already targeted him; he only wanted to act quickly, as the Stationed Troops Star’s power was still terrifying. If his actions were too slow, the weapons on the Stationed Troops Star might recover, restricting his movements.

He quickly entered the first room following the same method.

Within seconds, he was back in the building; from Jia Yan’s perspective, he had acquired another mysterious item.

As time passed twenty seconds, the third item was in his hands.

“Alright, let’s leave now!”

The giant bird creature had already sensed that most of the star’s defensive structures had reverted to normal, and an earth-shattering amount of energy was faintly aimed at him.

He hastily flew out of the building complex.

But as he took flight, a ferocious light, with a unique quality, swiftly attacked the area where this bird-like creature was!

“They can already attack? This stationed troops star truly deserves its reputation as the strongest border defense in the White Seed Star System.”

The giant bird creature instantly felt a sense of crisis.

“But I’ve already got what I came for. That weapon can stop me, but thinking it can actually hurt me is nothing but wishful thinking!”

The bird creature suddenly dodged, narrowly avoiding the fire assault infused with bizarre power.

Yet, as he evaded this volley, similar bursts of firelight suddenly spread across the entire starry sky, as if synchronized.

These lights could even automatically aim and turn, fiercely targeting this powerful stellar-level creature!

“Humph, such ignorance! If I weren’t worried about whether those White Seeds will come, I’d have destroyed this station star single-handedly by now!”

The bird creature appeared slightly displeased, but continued to dodge the barrage of attacks from the firelight.

After all, a stellar-level creature is stellar-level. Even if some fire blasts reached his body, they only made the feathers of his bird-like appearance slightly singed.

Soon, this creature, having achieved stellar-level strength, slowly flew into the canopies of the starry sky.

And the troops stationed below had no way to stop him.

“He’s gone, those few items have surely been taken by him as well?”

“Sigh, after all, Heilong personally acted, and there’s nothing we could do when our belongings were snatched, especially when he deployed Jia Yan—his strength is too bizarre. Under such circumstances, it’s a fortune that our stationed star wasn’t entirely wiped out.”

“That’s right, it’s not our fault. Lord White Seed certainly won’t blame us.”

Below the stationed star, the upper echelons were helpless when witnessing this scene.

They were right. If it had really escalated into a battle, just one creature like Heilong could have completely decimated this star’s powerful military stationed star. That they preserved most soldiers and military installations was already a favorable outcome.

Of course, there were many who had to be accountable this time, such as the arena officials and some upper management who had to take responsibility.

However, this wasn’t something Jia Yan and that bird creature needed to consider!

“The items are in hand. I’ve heard this thing took White Seed a full twenty years to accumulate; if I use it, I might even break through my current small level.”

The bird creature flew across the sky.

His direction aimed toward his battleship.

“This item is said to come from the Space Ghosts. For us on the stellar level, it’s highly supplementary, but also has some toxicity, which is why old White Seed never used it all these years. I certainly need time to process and consume it. However, now that I’ve got it, I won’t hand it over to anyone, whether it’s White Seed or anyone else who might come to claim it!”

The more he flew, the more excited the bird creature became.

As a stellar junior creature, he was merely at the bottom of the hierarchy.

Let alone comparing with a middle-level stellar grand master, even compared to a newly promoted stellar creature, he wasn’t much stronger.

Hence, his desire for power was extremely intense.

“Right, what was that Jia Yan inside the station star all about earlier? I vaguely felt that he hadn’t perished in the contest area. Even my semi-permanent star-level subordinate died, but he just vanished?”

The stellar-level creature flying suddenly felt a hint of surprise recalling that Jia Yan, who disappeared just as he engaged him fully.

Facing this explosive force, which could challenge secondary level semi-permanent star-level creatures, he also felt a subtle sense of incongruity.

After all, beings like that shouldn’t be simple existences.

“A secondary level fighting a semi-permanent star-level, seems like only some geniuses can do it. It’s said that thousands of light-years away, there’s a place called the Stellar Academy, where they cultivate stellar-level beings. Many enrolled there could fight across levels as geniuses, and almost every creature that graduates and leaves is stellar-level, with power exceeding the general stellar-level strength…”

“Sigh, why am I thinking of such faraway places, let it go! Stellar Academy and all that, too distant, could I really encounter any genius stellar-level strong ones here? Such geniuses would likely not come to such a dangerous place.”

The bird creature chuckled self-deprecatingly.

But just as he was about to discard this idea—

Suddenly.

Whoosh!!

A sharp object.

Without any warning, it pierced directly into his bird-like abdomen!

“Ah, wha-what is this!”

The stellar-level bird creature was critically hit, and almost instantly, cried out in shocked astonishment…
