Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood Chapter 2046 - 1010: Child of the Stars! Ancient Star Ruins!

"Guidance of the stars..."

Luo Qingchen instinctively touched his chest.

There lay his Star Map bronze disc.

Could there be a connection between them?

"Elder, may I take a look at the ancient books your tribe has collected? Perhaps I can find so clues there."

Luo Qingchen attempted to make a request.

The Jianan Elder hesitated for a mont before finally nodding.

"You may. But only in the areas I allow you to enter. The Holy Land of the tribe, where the Shadow Source is sealed, must not be approached by anyone."

"Thank you, Elder."

Luo Qingchen felt a joy in his heart.

At last, the first step was taken.

However, the opportunity he was waiting for ca sooner than he expected.

Just at dawn the next day.

A sudden urgent and piercing horn sound broke the silence of the settlent.

"Woo! Woo!"

That was the alarm for an enemy attack!

The entire Jianan Settlent awakened instantly from its slumber.

Countless Jianan warriors, wielding spears and bone bows, rushed out from their stone houses and quickly gathered in the square.

Kael led the charge, draped in simple leather armor and holding a spear that glowed with blue light, his face filled with murderous intent.

"Enemy attack! Drilling Sand Worms! There are many of them! They’ve already breached the outer periter!"

A sentinel rushed in from the entrance, shouting in panic.

"Don’t panic!"

Kael roared angrily, stabilizing the troop’s morale.

"All warriors, follow ! Defend our ho!"

"Yes!"

Hundreds of Jianan warriors roared in unison, their morale high as they followed Kael towards the entrance.

Luo Qingchen and his two companions were awakened imdiately as well.

"What’s going on?"

Lin Wan’er rushed to the door, peering outside.

"It seems so Star Beasts are attacking the tribe."

Su Xiaowan said.

Luo Qingchen’s eyes lit up instantly.

The opportunity had arrived!

"Let’s go see as well."

He said, picking up Bai Ling’er and stepping out of the stone house first.

When they reached the massive entrance to the tribe, the battle outside had already begun.

On the plains outside the entrance, dust billowed.

Countless Drilling Sand Worms, huge as centipedes with circles of sharp teeth, were erging from beneath the ground, fiercely attacking the defensive line of the Jianan Tribe.

Each of these Drilling Sand Worms had a strength roughly equivalent to a cultivator in the later stages of Foundation Establishnt.

Their exoskeletons were extrely hard, ordinary swords and blades couldn’t pierce them.

Moreover, they could spit a highly corrosive acid, making them very troubleso.

Though the Jianan warriors were brave, their attack thods were relatively simplistic.

They stabbed with spears and shot with bows.

These attacks only resulted in a series of "ding ding clang clang" sounds against the worms’ hard shells, leaving white marks but failing to cause any fatal damage.

Occasionally a warrior could seize the chance to thrust a spear into the worm’s mouth or vulnerable underbelly.

But more often, warriors narrowly evaded acid and worm charges.

The battle had fallen into a stalemate.

And ominously so.

Kael fought on the front lines, each thrust of his spear unleashing a sharp blue glow that pierced through the head of a worm.

His strength was indeed formidable, already close to the initial stage of Golden Core.

But he alone couldn’t change the entire battle.

"It’s our turn now."

Luo Qingchen said to Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan beside him.

The two nodded understandingly.

The next second, Luo Qingchen’s figure disappeared from where he stood.

When he reappeared, he was already at the center of the battlefield.

He didn’t use any fancy moves.

He simply threw a punch.

Gray Chaotic Power gathered on his fist.

There was no grand aura, no dazzling light.

Just a plain, unadorned punch.

Boom!

A Drilling Sand Worm, mouth agape to swallow a Jianan warrior, had its massive head instantly explode.

Red and white splattered everywhere.

Its incomparably hard shell was fragile as paper in the face of Luo Qingchen’s Chaotic Power.

The surrounding Jianan warriors were dumbfounded.

What kind of power is this?

So overwhelming!

Luo Qingchen didn’t rest.

His figure flickered like a phantom across the battlefield.

Every punch, every kick, inevitably resulted in a Drilling Sand Worm being smashed to pieces.

He was like an unfeeling killing machine, efficient and deadly.

anwhile, Lin Wan’er made her move too.

She ford hand seals, chanting as she went.

"All trees bloom!"

Countless thick vines burst forth from the ground, coiling around each Drilling Sand Worm like agile pythons.

The worms struggled wildly, spewing acid.

Yet these vines were exceptionally resilient, infused with enduring life force.

Areas eroded by the acid would quickly regrow.

Su Xiaowan wasn’t idle either.

Her hands swiftly traced runes in the air.

"Misleading Formation, rise!"

"Gravity Array, descend!"

She conjured nurous small formations effortlessly.

The worms trapped by vines began attacking their own companions, ensnared in illusions.

Or, they’d suddenly feel heavy, pressed immobile by invisible gravity.

The initially chaotic battlefield transford the mont the three joined.

The pressure on Jianan warriors lessened imnsely.

They rely needed to deal with worms that were restrained or slowed down.

Efficiency increased significantly.

Kael, entangled with an exceptionally large Sand Worm King, noticed the change too.

He saw Luo Qingchen tearing through the swarm like a war deity.

Seeing Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan bending the swarm to their will with strange thods he’d never seen.

His face was etched with shock and disbelief.

These outsiders...

How could their power be so imnse?

Especially that man, what kind of monster is he?

The gray power reeked of destruction and devouring, chilling him to his core.

The battle ended quickly.

Under the efficient slaughter by Luo Qingchen and his companions, hundreds of Drilling Sand Worms were eradicated in less than the ti it takes for an incense stick to burn.

The plains outside the entrance were strewn with worm remains.

The air reeked of blood.

Every Jianan warrior halted, watching Luo Qingchen and his companions as if they were monsters.

Their gazes no longer held previous rejection or hostility.

Instead, there was deep reverence, and a hint of... fear.

Luo Qingchen stood calmly amidst the sea of corpses, holding Bai Ling’er, his expression serene.

He turned his gaze towards Kael, standing not far away.

Their eyes t.

Kael’s expression grew intensely complex.

Shock, reluctance, sha, and even a trace of gratitude he didn’t wish to acknowledge.

He opened his mouth to speak but couldn’t utter a word.

He could only bow his prideful head, avoiding Luo Qingchen’s gaze.

At that mont, Luo Qingchen understood.

They had finally secured a foothold in this tribe.

The Jianan Elder, leaning on a cane, erged from the entrance.

He gazed at the slain worms, then at the unscathed tribesn, finally setting his eyes on Luo Qingchen.

His eyes were filled with appreciation and gratitude.

"Thank you, brave outsiders."

He spoke to Luo Qingchen through Divine Soul.

"You have earned Jianan’s respect with your strength."

That evening, the Elder sought out Luo Qingchen again.

This ti, he hid nothing.

He opened all the tribe’s texts related to the Star Realm, history, and the "Shadow" to Luo Qingchen.

And he revealed a secret to Luo Qingchen, unknown even to Kael.

"Actually, we retain a small fragnt of the lost Star Realm map."
