Deep within the vast and boundless starry sky, a breathtaking battle is unfolding. A group of figures clash fiercely against the backdrop of glittering stars. Among them, a lone man in magnificent golden robes is engaged in a life-or-death duel with fifteen men clad in vibrant red robes.
These sixteen individuals all stood in the void beyond the planet, as if the planet beneath their feet were insignificant. Their battle was earth-shattering, with each strike accompanied by terrifying energy fluctuations that sent chills down the spine.
The man in golden robes remained calm and composed despite the enemy's fierce attacks. When one of the men in red swung his sword with all his might, an extremely sharp blade of light shot out, carrying boundless power as it hurtled towards the man in golden robes. However, the man in golden robes merely raised his sword casually, seemingly deflecting the attack effortlessly. The terrifying blade of light vanished without a trace, like ice meeting fire.
Seeing the situation was dire, the surrounding men in red immediately launched a simultaneous attack, closing in on the man in gold from all sides. But despite this perilous situation, the man in gold remained calm and composed, showing no sign of panic. With a flick of his wrist, his longsword shot out with the swiftness of a viper's tongue. In the blink of an eye, several men in red, without even having time to react, were decapitated, their blood splattering in the air.
The remaining men in red, witnessing their companion's gruesome death, were horrified and turned to flee. But just then, the man in gold let out a cold laugh: "Trying to run? Too late!" With that, he slowly reached out and gently stroked the blade of the sword in his hand. As he did so, the longsword suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, like a blazing sun shining in the sky.
Immediately afterward, the man in gold thrust his sword out again. This strike was incredibly fast, almost transcending the limitations of time and space. The remaining men in red hadn't even had a chance to escape before they were struck by this earth-shattering sword, instantly turning to ashes and vanishing completely into the vast void.
After defeating all his opponents, the man in golden robes turned his gaze to a figure in the distance—Ye Liangchen. His eyes were as deep as the sea, as if they could see through all the secrets of the world. Just that one glance was enough to send a chill down Ye Liangchen's spine, as if he had no secrets left in front of this man.
"You... actually possess the aura of an ancient star field." The man in golden robes stared intently at Ye Liangchen and spoke slowly. His voice was deep and magnetic, yet it also revealed an irresistible majesty.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Ye Liangchen, and I come from Earth."
"You come from Earth? Impossible, young man. You carry the aura of an ancient star field. Although I have been dead for many years, I could never forget this aura. Now that you are in my domain, why don't you tell the truth?"
An immense pressure swept over them instantly.
Ye Liangchen felt his body organs were under immense pressure, as if they were about to be crushed.
"Senior, I...I really am from Earth, and I've lived here since I was a child."
Upon hearing this, the man intensified his oppressive aura.
The immense pressure was suffocating Ye Liangchen.
Ye Liangchen used all his supernatural abilities to try to struggle, but to no avail.
"With such limited strength, you can't even break free from my last remaining will."
Within Ye Liangchen's body, the genetic energy within him was operating wildly, as he continuously absorbed the surrounding supernatural energy.
But this was just a drop in the ocean for Ye Liangchen.
"Kid, since that's the case, then I'll just take over your body and be reborn."
Suddenly, an extremely terrifying thought swept over him like a surging tide. In an instant, Ye Liangchen felt as if his head was about to explode. The pain was like thousands of steel needles piercing his brain at the same time, causing him unbearable agony and nearly making him faint.
Just then, a completely unfamiliar aura, not belonging to him, silently invaded his body like a ghost. As this aura penetrated deeper, Ye Liangchen was horrified to discover that his control over his body was being gradually stripped away by this powerful will.
Although his body was gradually slipping out of his control, Ye Liangchen's inner resistance grew stronger. He gritted his teeth and roared with all his might, "No! I refuse to be controlled by you like this!" However, the will ignored his protests and instead responded in an arrogant tone, "Hmph, being controlled by me is a great blessing for you Blue Star people. Whether you accept it or not, the final outcome will not change."
At the same time, the primal genetic energy that had been dormant within Ye Liangchen's body seemed to have sensed the presence of this intrusive intent. As if sensing a threat, it suddenly erupted with an even more powerful and dazzling energy light. Immediately afterwards, the primal genetic energy began to greedily and frantically devour this invading intent.
Faced with the sudden counterattack of the genetic energy, the previously arrogant and domineering will was clearly caught off guard. It cursed in shock and anger, "Damn it! What on earth is going on?"
The thought hadn't expected Ye Liangchen's genetic energy to be so peculiar; not only was it not devoured, but it was trying to devour itself instead. It tried to resist, but the genetic energy, like a predator that had found delicious prey, held on tightly. Ye Liangchen also seized the opportunity to concentrate his mind and guide the genetic energy to fight back.
Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, Ye Liangchen found his consciousness entering a strange space. This space was filled with shimmering runes, and his consciousness materialized into a blurry humanoid figure. "Boy, you won't get away with this!" the figure roared. Ye Liangchen gritted his teeth and replied, "This is my body; you can't take it away." With that, he channeled even more of his genetic energy towards the figure.
Suddenly, a burst of intense light erupted within the space. The consciousness screamed in agony, gradually weakening.
Ye Liangchen pressed his advantage and eventually began to shake off that mental force.
A red light was emanating from his body at that moment.
Ye Liangchen's heterochromatic eyes were also radiating a terrifying energy.
"Hahaha, kid, I'll use my lingering regret to activate the genetic potential in your body. This opportunity is yours."
A long sword flew from the void and entered Ye Liangchen's body.
Ye Liangchen, on the other hand, felt as if he had fallen into an endless abyss.
When he woke up, he found that everyone around him was staring at him.
"What...what's wrong with me?"
"Brother Liangchen, you just fainted, what happened to you?"
"I don't know, everything went black when I woke up and this is what happened."
"Ahem, the fourth phase is over. You've all been given the opportunities you were meant to have. I wish you all the best for the future."
The palace voice rang out again, but the opportunity before them had already ended.
