"It seems I overestimated the strength of a cosmic-level powerhouse."
Chen Yuan looked down at the butcher's corpses falling one after another, shook his head and chuckled softly.
Don't be fooled by how easily he killed the butcher with his sword; he actually used all his strength.
After all, it was their first time facing a cosmic-level powerhouse, so their assessment of the enemy's strength was inevitably somewhat uncertain.
According to the original work, breaking through to the Hengxing level will increase one's strength tenfold, while breaking through to the Universe level, Domain Lord level, or even World Lord level will result in an even more terrifying increase in strength.
But Chen Yuan proved with facts that the cosmic level does not have an absolute advantage.
With his basic strength comparable to a ninth-tier Hengxing level, coupled with the explosive secret technique of the Thousand Winds Manual, his power directly reached 70.
After being subjected to a law amplitude of more than ten times, he effortlessly slaughtered the first-tier butchers of the universe level.
"With my current strength, I should have no problem dealing with opponents below the fourth level of the cosmic level."
Chen Yuan silently assessed the situation.
Of course, when he said "cosmic level," he meant the kind with normal strength, excluding geniuses who comprehend the laws.
However, being able to comprehend the laws at the cosmic level is already extremely rare.
A genius of this caliber is fully qualified to participate in the Giant Axe Arena and strive for a thousand consecutive victories; there is absolutely no way he would stoop to becoming a space pirate or an assassin.
"From this perspective, the next few tasks shouldn't be too difficult, since the strongest target is only at the third level of the cosmic level."
'
With that thought in mind, Chen Yuan didn't linger. After putting away the Butcher's spatial ring, he had Irene send a message to the capital before flying into the spaceship.
The next second, under Irene's control, the Blue Fox quickly took off and soon left the red planet.
Inside the cabin, Chen Yuan briefly checked the Butcher's spatial ring and found that there were no particularly valuable items inside; all the assets added up to only a few billion cosmic coins.
He carefully put away the valuables, and threw the remaining odds and ends, along with the ring, into a corner of the spaceship, ignoring them completely.
He then returned to the nutrient chamber to continue his cultivation.
In the days that followed, Chen Yuan traveled and cultivated at the same time, while also eliminating some space pirate groups, causing his points and kill points to steadily increase.
Eleven days after leaving Red Star, Chen Yuan successfully located the Blood Hand Society's stronghold—an organization hidden on a habitable planet, disguised as an ordinary underground force.
Under the full recording of the virtual universe, Chen Yuan successfully killed three universe-level leaders of the Blood Hand Society, as well as 196 Heng-level core members and 837 planetary-level members.
It is worth mentioning that Chen Yuan did not exterminate some members of the Blood Hand Society—because all his actions were under the surveillance of the virtual universe. According to company regulations, those members with minor crimes should be sentenced to imprisonment rather than the death penalty.
Chen Yuan cannot kill such members without authorization, otherwise he will also break the law and be punished by having points deducted.
If it gets even more serious—for example, if he starts indiscriminately killing innocent people—then in addition to deducting points, he may even face imprisonment.
The company's strict management of its internal members is clearly reflected in this point.
Chen Yuan didn't feel constrained. He wasn't the type to kill indiscriminately. When faced with targets whose crimes were minor, he would show leniency, at most knocking them unconscious and handing them over to the company for trial.
Fortunately, the virtual universe displays the evidence of each target's crimes in real time, so Chen Yuan doesn't have to worry about accidentally killing innocent people.
In the operation to eradicate the Blood Hand Society, Chen Yuan arrested 2387 members whose crimes did not warrant the death penalty. After being judged in the virtual universe,
More than 600 people were even released, while the rest were handed over to the local branch for detention and retrial according to the laws of the planet.
Whether these people ultimately face imprisonment or the death penalty is not something Chen Yuan needs to worry about.
This battle earned Chen Yuan 35484 points and 7500 million kill points.
Apart from the stolen goods that needed to be handed over, all other spoils of war belonged to him personally.
Chen Yuan chose to cash in these spoils at the local branch of his company, ultimately obtaining 168 billion cosmic coins.
After dealing with the Blood Hands Society, Chen Yuan didn't stop and continued to his next target.
Eighteen days later, he found the lair of the Ancient Demon Tower.
The process of this organization's demise was similar—Chen Yuan recorded the entire process, capturing all the members of the Ancient Demon Tower.
Yes, not a single one was left.
According to Chen Yuan's understanding, the Ancient Demon Tower was a force founded by a group of worshippers of the demon race, and its members were all "traitors" who longed to join the demon race.
Unfortunately, this group was too weak, and the real demon race looked down on them, so they could only become a third-rate space pirate organization.
But in the eyes of the Virtual Universe Company, every single one of these people is charged with "espionage".
Moreover, the members of the Ancient Demon Tower seem to harbor a deep-seated hatred for the human race, and their methods of committing crimes are extremely cruel. They never leave any survivors among the caravans they rob.
Therefore, even disregarding the charge of espionage, Chen Yuan would not let any of their members off the hook based solely on the countless blood debts they had committed.
In the end, all members of the Ancient Demon Tower were converted into Chen Yuan's points and kill points, resulting in a total of 37000 points and 8200 million kill points.
Time slipped away quietly amidst Chen Yuan's busy schedule, and in the blink of an eye, the three-month deadline was approaching.
On the Mandela Galaxy-Water Star, an ocean-like planet similar to the Red Sea Star, Chen Yuan finally locked onto his last mission target—the lair of the Cross Star.
On an unnamed island, a fierce battle is underway.
As the most powerful space pirate group among those Chen Yuan accepted missions from, the Cross Stars' strength is indeed extraordinary.
The most notable feature of this organization is that out of its six thousand members, five thousand are at the Hengxing level!
Indeed, the reason why the Cross Star is infamous is not only because it has ten cosmic-level leaders, but also because its five thousand star-level core members are a force that cannot be ignored.
Like some of the forces that Chen Yuan destroyed before, such as the Ancient Demon Tower and the Blood Hand Society, they all followed a pattern: the stronger the members, the fewer the number of members.
Therefore, the composition of other forces is: a large number of planetary-level members + a small number of constant-level core members + a cosmic-level leader.
The Cross Stars, however, took the opposite approach: a small number of planetary-level members + a large number of constellation-level core members + ten cosmic-level leaders.
This means that Chen Yuan is now facing an attack from a full five thousand Eternal Star level beings!
Faced with this situation, let alone a mere fifth-tier Hengxing, even a cosmic-level squad, without high-level experts, could be overwhelmed by the siege of the Cross Star.
But Chen Yuan showed no fear whatsoever; in fact, he even seemed eager to try.
Soon, after the virtual universe confirmed that all five thousand stars were guilty of a capital offense, Chen Yuan finally stopped holding back.
With a long howl, the pale blue domain fully expanded for the first time, instantly enveloping hundreds of Cross Star members.
Immediately afterwards, he began efficiently reaping the enemies within the area at an astonishing speed.
"Big brother, the opponent has a domain; they're no ordinary person!"
Inside a D6-class spaceship above the island.
The leaders who were watching the battle all changed their expressions upon seeing this scene.
In accordance with their past practices, when faced with pursuit, they would usually escape immediately by spaceship, leaving behind a core group of Hengxing-level personnel to cover their retreat.
But this time only one person came, and he was a celestial-level being, which made them decide to observe for a while first.
"Possessing the strength of a ninth-tier star, yet with explosive power approaching the cosmic level, and also having four domains—"
The scarred leader narrowed his eyes slightly, silently weighing the situation in his mind: "Moreover, it's a wind domain, extremely adept at group battles."
"They're not easy to deal with—"
The scarred leader was conflicted. On one hand, the opponent was not a cosmic-level being, and if they ran away, wouldn't they become a laughing stock?
On the other hand, given the strength Chen Yuan has demonstrated, if they don't make a move, their five thousand star-level core members alone might not be a match for him.
Unless the ten of them join forces with thousands of stars, they have no hope of killing the opponent.
"Brother, we can't wait any longer."
Seeing that the casualties among the core members of the Hengxing Star-level were getting heavier and heavier, with over a hundred lost in just one minute, the other leaders could no longer sit still and waited for Scarface to make a decision.
Whether to fight or flee, it was all up to him.
"It's just a constant-level star—."
Under the pressure of Chen Yuan's increasingly fierce fighting spirit, and with the persuasion of other leaders, Scarface finally made up his mind.
"Let's seize the opportunity and strike together!"
"yes!"
Upon receiving the order, the leaders responded quickly, and they soon had their chance. After killing hundreds of star-level beings, Chen Yuan's domain seemed to begin to shrink, and his movements became slightly sluggish.
"A great opportunity!"
With a command from the scarred leader, the ten universe-level powerhouses attacked simultaneously!
Time will be filled with the clash of swords and the flying of telekinetic weapons.
Faced with this overwhelming offensive, Chen Yuan not only remained calm, but the corners of his mouth even turned up slightly.
"After acting for so long, they finally took the bait."
The next moment, the pale blue domain suddenly surged, enveloping everyone within it!
"Sevenfold Domain!!"
At that moment, everyone's expression changed.
