721: Star Core Beast

But now, after condensing five Star Marks, Chen Du’s Nimble Cats Grace also received a huge boost!

The third Star Mark granted Nimble Cats Grace the ability to “Spread,” allowing it to suppress up to 10 targets simultaneously.

The fourth Star Mark granted Nimble Cats Grace the ability to “Strengthen,” increasing its suppression from 5% for every Rank above the target's Mental Energy to 8% for every Rank above!

The fifth was the False Rank Chen Du just used. This ability allowed Chen Du to appear as Rank 41. Of course, this was a false Rank 41, but not entirely false.

If his Mental Energy exceeded the opponent’s by a major stage, which is the current situation, it would create a 30% Rank suppression, similar to Life Strength.

This is equivalent to the Rank suppression of a Starry Sky Martial Artist over a Domain Martial Artist.

At the same time, it could immune certain abilities, such as Yao Wangjing’s Ultimate Shattering Claw.

The first time he encountered Yao Wangjing, his Mental Energy was Rank 35, and it was still Rank 35 now. Indeed, as he himself said, he had no talent in Mental Energy.

His Mental Energy Rank was acquired over time, and his Life Strength was too low, making it difficult for his Mental Energy to improve further.

Chen Du was similar in this regard; all his Mental Energy was granted by the Crystal Space’s clearance mechanism. Personally, he hadn't improved much.

The Eternal Tree was the first entity against which Nimble Cats Grace was ineffective in terms of raw power, meaning Chen Du's Mental Energy Rank was lower than his opponent's.

After all, Chen Du's Mental Energy hadn't reached Rank 35 at that time.

Now, not only was his opponent's Mental Energy Rank surpassed by Chen Du, but the black Dragon scales, which could immune Mental Energy attacks, were also burned away by Chen Du’s Flame Flower, creating suppression.

Coupled with the help of the False Rank, his opponent's Ten Secret Treasures abilities, as well as the unique Life level suppression and Domain suppression of a Domain Martial Artist, were all rendered ineffective, instead suppressing the opponent.

Now, under the dual suppression of the false life and Nimble Cats Grace, Yao Wangjing’s strength plummeted by 78%, directly falling to 2.449 billion.

And through contact, their Martial Skill levels were both 100% Heaven Opening.

Although this value was higher than Chen Du's Rank 29.9, this small difference did not have a significant impact.

“Rank 41?”

“Is your Mental Energy Rank 41?”

“How is that possible!?”

“You're not even a Domain Martial Artist, how could your Mental Energy reach Rank 41?”

But feeling the tangible suppression at this moment, Yao Wangjing hesitated, speaking in a self-doubting voice:

“Did the Rank 35 limit set by the Star Core Beast disappear?”

“But even if it disappeared, a Rank 29 Skysoar Martial Artist’s Mental Energy shouldn’t possibly…”

Star Core Beast!?

A Rank 35 limit set?

Hearing Yao Wangjing, who was like a living history book, speak that name, Chen Du’s heart skipped a beat.

“What is a Star Core Beast?”

“Hmph, what is it?”

“It's a life form from the Blood Sea World. It's not a civilization; you can think of it as a Divine Beast.”

Yao Wangjing felt that Chen Du was a dying man, so he casually spoke, satisfying his sense of superiority as a mentor.

Divine Beast?

Blood Sea World?

It seemed the red ocean he saw before should be the Blood Sea World. Chen Du had guessed the possibility based on the name, but it was ultimately just a guess without any evidence.

After all, information about the Nine Forbidden Zones was not something a High Martial Civilization could possess.

From the sound of it, the Star Core Beast was the Star Core alien he spoke of, the palm-sized golden sprite he saw through the Eye of Illusion.

So, the Rank 35 limit on Blue Star was the work of this Star Core Beast?

This… Chen Du immediately felt a sense of contradiction, as this completely overturned his previous conclusions.

After multiple verifications, the function of the Star Core Beast, or rather, its primary function, should be to upgrade planets.

But from what Yao Wangjing said, how did it seem somewhat contradictory?

But no matter what, this seemed to be the most reasonable answer.

Because, if a Star Core could upgrade a planet, then conversely, could it also limit a planet?

But why?

How many parties were truly involved in this struggle?

And what were they after?

This was not bad news; now, the source of Blue Star's Rank 35 limit was finally confirmed.

“Clap… clap… clap…”

Yao Wangjing suddenly clapped his hands, applauding:

“Chen Du, oh Chen Du, you really are… beyond my expectations.”

“Rank 29 Life Strength, Rank 41 Mental Energy.”

“Even looking through the Eternal Tree’s memory bank, which is like a living history, you could be called the number one Genius.”

“But alas…”

“Even the number one Genius is now just barely at my doorstep!”

As Yao Wangjing said this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl upwards slightly:

“Do you know?”

“Not only is your tenth Secret Treasure ability countered by me, but so are your Star Marks!”

“Last time was only because I was fighting with the Eternal Tree for control of the body, which gave you an opportunity.”

“Now, you don't even have a one-in-a-billion chance of winning against me!”

“You are destined to lose to me!”

With that, with a “snap,” Yao Wangjing snapped his fingers like a Domain Kill.

In an instant.

The Black Flame burning on his opponent's wings, the Blue Cat in his consciousness, and the Blue Cat standing beside Chen Du in reality, were all trapped by a black cage!

Unlike the black umbrella-shaped cage in the sky, this time, a rectangular cage appeared, just like a dog cage.

It instantly imprisoned these three locations.

After being imprisoned, the materialized products of these abilities did not disappear but fell into a state of languor, looking utterly dejected.

And at the moment they were imprisoned.

All of Chen Du’s suppression on Yao Wangjing became ineffective!

“This is the ‘Heavenly Prison’.”

Yao Wangjing pointed at the umbrella-shaped cage above, speaking calmly:

“This is my ability from the Sky Soaring Martial Artist stage.”

“As long as I am alive, any life form enveloped by the Heavenly Prison cannot leave this place.”

“Furthermore, if the Heavenly Prison only traps me and another life form, then we will be bound.”

“If you kill me, you will also be killed by this Heavenly Prison!”

“That’s why I said from the beginning, you are destined to die here today!”

“Even if some miracle truly happens, you will still die!”

“Of course, miracles won't happen.”

“Your fifth Star Mark’s ability is indeed powerful, but the Heavenly Prison’s fifth Star Mark can imprison any power except those acting on yourself and those for attack and defense!”

“All your methods are useless now.”

“The moment my Heavenly Prison completely enveloped everything, the outcome was already decided.”

Yao Wangjing finished speaking and raised his sharp claws:

“If you were Rank 30, you might still have a chance to struggle, but that’s impossible.”

“I had already anticipated this, so I waited for you here on Star Island. Even if you didn’t wear that black seed, I would have found you, or rather, I found you from the start.”

“Because of this, I overlooked your Clone; otherwise, whether you wore that seed or not, I would have been able to sense you within a certain range.”

“I wouldn't have given you a chance to land on the island.”

“Don’t forget, you have consumed the Eternal Tree’s blood; you have a unique scent that only I in the entire world can smell!”
