Sparkling and shimmering, a pile of Zerg crystal cores floated high in the air within the Void Palace, emitting a dazzling light.

There are far too many of these crystal nuclei, thousands or even tens of thousands of times more than the number of planets in the entire Tianyun Galaxy!

They come in a variety of colors, including pearly white, sky blue, emerald green, bright orange, dark purple, and shimmering gold.

The most abundant type of insectoid crystal core is the pure white one, while the rarest is the golden one. However, the golden insectoid crystal core is much larger than the pure white one, with a diameter of about ten thousand meters. It shines like a bright star in the night sky.

All the golden Zerg cores collided with each other, emitting a series of dazzling sparks.

Mo Tianyun suddenly unleashed his mental power to suppress them, obliterating the mental consciousness of all the insect kings.

The phantom of spiritual energy moved back and forth in the void hall, while the projection of the Void God Kingdom floated silently in the sky.

This wondrous sight is like a magnificent painting of the universe, drawing everyone in irresistibly.

These Zerg crystals are symbols of the Zerg civilization. They represent the Zerg's technology, wisdom, and power, and are important markers of their civilization.

Most importantly, the high-level, pure energy contained within the Zerg core is what is known as life energy. The Zerg are able to evolve by consuming the life energy and matter of other living beings.

The life energy within the Zerg core is the foundation of Zerg life, while the matter it devours is the source of the Zerg's physical body.

"So many Zerg cores, it's truly astonishing!"

"This means that we have wiped out all the Zerg from the Zerg Emperor-level Hive Complex. Victory belongs to us!"

"Yes, the greatest threat to civilization has passed, and a peaceful and prosperous era is about to begin!"

The powerful figures all sighed in admiration.

At this moment, whether it was Mo Tianyun, or King Darren Jonah, King Dylan and other powerful figures, commanders, or all the soldiers, everyone had a slight smile on their lips, their faces beaming with the joy of victory.

"Alright, you all go about your business. Those who need to clean up the battlefield, clean up the battlefield; those who need to organize the soldiers, organize the soldiers!"

Mo Tianyun ordered the many powerful figures to disperse.

"yes!"

As one powerful figure after another departed, only Lieyang remained silently by his side.

Mo Tianyun glanced at Lieyang and noticed that it was staring intently at the insect bodies of the insect emperors in the distance, looking quite envious.

"Lieyang, you want to devour the insect body of that insect emperor? But wait, I'll give you the rest of the insect emperor's body after I've collected some important materials!"

After Mo Tianyun finished speaking, he began to dismantle the insect body of the insect emperor, taking away all the body materials that he could find useful.

"These horns are quite good. They have excellent energy conductivity and are also very hard. They are more than enough to make weapons for the Star God combat mechs."

"These eight claws are quite good. It seems to be the main body weapon used by this insectoid empire for combat. Although they are not quite as good as the pair of horns from before, they are still rare and excellent materials for manufacturing mecha weapons!"

"Huh? The white down on this insect emperor's body is quite amazing. It's so stretchy and tough, and most importantly, it's so soft. This kind of material is extremely rare. What's more, a large area of ​​this insect emperor's body is covered with this white down, which makes it even more precious!"

Mo Tianyun searched the bodies of several insectoid emperors thoroughly, examining every part and collecting a large amount of useful materials.

That makes sense, considering that in the past, the strategic warehouses of the three major star system civilizations—the Tianyun Empire, the Dylan Empire, and the Northern Libod Federation—had not been able to find such high-grade materials as the Zerg Emperor's body.

Now, there were six Zerg Emperor bodies laid out before him, for him to choose from at will. How many times could he have such a good opportunity?

This also proves the importance of strength. As long as you are strong enough, you will eventually come into contact with things at a higher level.

"Alright, the remaining bodies of these few Zerg Insect Emperors are all yours!"

After saying this, Mo Tianyun immediately returned to the sky above the pile of Zerg crystal cores in the center of the Void Palace.

roar!

A clear and exhilarating roar came from the blazing sun's enormous maw, capable of swallowing everything.

"Thank you, Master. I'll begin now!"

The blazing sun lunged forward, its body growing enormous, then returning to its original size as it devoured the insect emperor's body mouthful by mouthful.

A large ball of light, accompanied by countless sparks, flew out of its mouth; these were sparks generated when hard objects collided.

These hearty dishes look like they really satisfied it.

Ignoring the blazing sun any longer, Mo Tianyun then activated the absorption function of the Divine Miracle Core.

This time, the commotion caused by the core of the miracle devouring the energy of the Zerg crystal cores was enormous. In less than a second, millions of Zerg crystal cores were decomposed and turned into energy lines of various colors that intertwined and formed colorful energy torrents, all of which converged into the absorption hole.

"This efficiency is too slow!"

Mo Tianyun muttered to himself.

Millions of Zerg cores are absorbed by the Miracle Core every second. Is that slow?

While this efficiency may seem acceptable, it is not actually the case.

The pile of Zerg crystal cores in front of us was collected by the entire expeditionary force of the Tianyun Empire, who dug up all the bodies left behind after the Zerg died. It took a long time to collect them.

The quantity is measured in hundreds of billions. At the current absorption rate, wouldn't it take several years to absorb them all?

"It seems that relying solely on the decomposition and absorption speed of the Miracle Core is not enough. I need to manually decompose all these Zerg crystal cores and let the Miracle Core handle the absorption!"

Mo Tianyun acted immediately, mobilizing the spiritual power of the Void God Kingdom at the perfect level of the Divine Realm to envelop the entire mass of insectoid crystal cores, crush them all, and then let them flow into the core of the Divine Relic.

Suddenly, a large burst of colorful light burst forth, spreading wildly and gradually illuminating the entire void hall, drawing the attention of the other powerful figures.

"What is the Heavenly Cloud Emperor doing? Why did he squeeze all the Zerg crystal cores to burst open?"

"Why are you meddling so much? We should mind our own business when it comes to the Emperor. There are some things we shouldn't discuss, or we'll lose our heads!"

"Yes, yes, we just need to do our job well. We shouldn't meddle in the affairs of important people."

They all understood that some things were best kept to themselves; if they were to speak of them to outsiders, it could cause serious trouble and even bring disaster upon themselves.

There are some things you can't look at carelessly, some things you can't say carelessly, and some words you can't utter carelessly. The more you know, the more restrictions you face, and the more you realize your own insignificance, which makes you unhappy.

Pretending to be crazy is so tiring!

That would be better than being a blank sheet of paper, knowing nothing, a complete blank, which would be easy and carefree.

Whoosh!

Colorful torrents of energy converged from all directions, like rainbow bridges connecting the Zerg crystal core pile and the Miracle Core, filling the absorption openings of the Miracle Core.

This was much faster. Mo Tianyun crushed trillions of Zerg crystal cores with his mental power and absorbed them rapidly with the Divine Core. In no time, all the Zerg crystal cores had disappeared.

Inside the sixth gate was a space shrouded in endless darkness.

Suddenly, countless colorful lines appeared.

It comes in colors such as pearly white, sky blue, emerald green, bright orange, dark purple, and shimmering gold.

These energy lines all merged into one, illuminating the entire black world and bringing endless vibrant colors to the dark realm.

All the colorful light clusters seemed to converge toward the center of this dark space with a specific goal. In the end, all the colorful light clusters merged and intertwined, finally reflecting a bright and dazzling light.

The light illuminated the center of the dark space, and in that instant, a square, transparent crystal vaguely appeared.

Immediately afterwards, the colorful energy ball actually penetrated through the transparent crystal and drilled into the exquisite human-shaped silhouette inside the crystal.

Gradually, all of this life energy was absorbed by the creature with the exquisitely beautiful humanoid silhouette.

The body, which had been stiff, gradually recovered, and the skin surface slowly began to glow from its dull state, becoming richer and fuller in luster.

A golden halo emanated from the humanoid creature, and the ten pairs of holy white wings on its back shone brightly, their twinkling light spreading slowly outwards and illuminating the dark space.

At this moment, the figure inside the transparent crystal was clearly visible.

If Mo Tianyun were here, he would be completely dumbfounded. Isn't this exquisitely beautiful human body the very Shen Xiyue that he has been longing for day and night?

Suddenly, Shen Xiyue's eyelids twitched, but she quickly regained her composure and remained completely still.

Outside, Mo Tianyun was puzzled. Why couldn't the sixth gate be opened?

Strange, with so many Zerg crystal cores, is it still not enough to complete the mission that Shen Xiyue left him?

Mo Tianyun scratched his head and turned his gaze to the depths of the Insect Emperor-level Insect Nest Aggregate, at the end of the Void Hall. He murmured, "Now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to absorb the life energy crystal of that Insect Emperor-level Insect Nest Aggregate as well, hoping to open the sixth gate of the Divine Relic Core!"

Mo Tianyun prayed in his heart, hoping that the life energy crystal of this huge insect hive could completely fulfill the mission that Shen Xiyue had given him, otherwise he would be out of options. This was his last resort and the biggest surprise that this insect emperor-level insect hive complex had left him.

Every Zerg hive contains Zerg hive energy crystals, as these are the source of energy for the Zerg to raise their offspring and power the hive.

All the life energy collected by the Zerg will be transferred to the Zerg hive energy crystal through the energy conduits inside the hive.

The energy crystal of this insect emperor-level insect hive is quite advanced, containing a huge amount of life energy, which is 10 to 100 times more than the life energy in the insect crystal core of the insect emperor, and not much less than the life energy contained in the insect crystal core that was just absorbed!

When Mo Tianyun cleaved open the back of the void hall with his sword, the exposed massive colored crystal was the life energy crystal of this insect emperor-level insect hive aggregate.

The size of the life energy crystal in front of him was beyond Mo Tianyun's imagination. It was almost 100,000 kilometers long, which was almost the radius of a standard star!

The colorful light was beautiful and dazzling, and the life force it contained made Mo Tianyun feel a surge of desire. In the distance, Lieyang's eyes widened, and suddenly the insectoid emperor's body in his mouth no longer tasted good...

King Dylan also cast a curious glance at the crystal of life energy.

Although his body instinctively craved life energy crystals, he had no desire for them and dared not even think about them.

Mo Tianyun felt a pang of heartache, but in order to fulfill her mission, she couldn't worry about that anymore.

The core of the miracle was once again rapidly absorbing life energy...

At that moment, a huge rift suddenly tore open in the distant space of the Insect Emperor-level Insect Hive Aggregate, and thick black smoke billowed out from it. Immediately afterwards, a long, enormous monster emerged from the spatial rift, and its coiled tail suddenly swung, stirring up a massive spatial storm that swept towards the Insect Emperor-level Insect Hive Aggregate.

"At that time... a space storm!!!"

"How could there be such a huge spatial storm! Quick, everyone get into position immediately, activate the highest defense mode, and launch the most powerful attack to withstand the spatial storm!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Under the commander's orders, billions of energy cannons converged into a single point.

Billions of interstellar shuttles, nearly 20 billion war fortresses, and countless combat mechs stationed outside launched attacks toward the space storm.

Unexpectedly, behind that spatial storm was a thick cloud of black smoke that completely surrounded the Tianyun Empire's expeditionary army.

The black smoke was all-pervasive, corroding everything it touched.

The victorious expeditionary force had been longing to return home and reunite with their families, but now, they would never be able to go back...
