Staring at the humanoid creature suspended before him, Bai Yue felt a chill creep through his consciousness.
At first glance, this corpse looked no different from an ordinary metal-type Life form. If not for Bai Yue's analytical ability, it would have been cataloged, processed, and forgotten along with the countless other remains sent to him. The fact that it had arrived mixed in with common biological debris already explained how thoroughly it had been overlooked.
But if its existence were to leak out—
The consequences would be immeasurable.
Major races would fight over it without hesitation. Universe Overlords would descend personally. A single spark could ignite a war spanning starfields.
The reason was simple.
This creature was too perfect.
Its genetic level surpassed even that of the innate Beast Gods.
It could naturally unleash 100% of its physical power, bypassing the universal constraints that bound all other Life forms. More terrifying still, it could innately reach the 100× amplification limit of the Universe without cultivation, without secret techniques, without any external assistance.
To put it into perspective—
At the same realm, its base physical output was over one hundred million times that of a standard Human.
One hundred million.
Such a number alone was enough to make even Universe Exalts fall silent.
Suppressing his emotions, Bai Yue mobilized the full power of his inner Universe. His consciousness descended completely, leveraging the Dao Fruit as the core processor, drawing upon the laws he had comprehended, and began a total analysis of the creature.
This was not a surface scan.
This was dissection at the level of existence itself.
Time flowed.
One year.
Two years.
Three years.
Three and a half years passed in silence.
Only then did Bai Yue finally complete the full解析 of the creature's genetic bloodline.
He opened his eyes.
Even Bai Yue, who had long grown accustomed to shock, felt his heart surge violently.
Three and a half years.
That was how long it took.
Even the high-grade treasure armor bestowed by the Primordial Chaos City Lord had taken only a few days to analyze. Yet this corpse—already dead, already incomplete—had consumed three and a half full years of his time.
The difficulty of its structure was beyond reason.
After a long while, Bai Yue slowly exhaled and calmed himself.
The conclusion was clear.
This humanoid Life form was called—
Sky-Horned Ant.
Yes.
Sky-Horned Ant.
The name alone felt absurdly out of place in the universe of Swallowing Star. Not only readers would find it strange—Bai Yue himself was momentarily at a loss.
Because he knew this name.
He knew it far too well.
This was not an ant.
This was one of the Ten Fiends.
A humanoid creature originating from the Immortal Domain, famed for possessing the greatest physical strength in existence. A being whose power was said to surpass even true dragons—so overwhelming that skill and technique became meaningless in its presence.
One force breaking ten thousand techniques.
It was a Life form capable of shattering the cosmos with raw strength, overturning the heavens themselves.
And that was not even its most terrifying trait.
The Sky-Horned Ant possessed a unique innate talent—Berserk.
Once enraged, it would enter a frenzied state where not only its physical strength, but even its Primordial Spirit power, would erupt exponentially. In terms of pure combat power, it ranked among the very strongest of the Ten Fiends.
This was the Sky-Horned Ant from Perfect World.
Its appearance shattered Bai Yue's long-held sense of absolute control as a transmigrator.
For the first time since arriving in this universe, a cold vigilance rose from the depths of his heart.
If he could transmigrate—
Why couldn't others?
Forcing himself to refocus, Bai Yue suppressed the ripple of unease. Speculation could wait. The priority was understanding where this Sky-Horned Ant came from.
Unfortunately, the corpse offered no direct answers.
Its soul and will had long since dissipated. There were no lingering memories, no residual consciousness. What remained were only bloodline structures and innate inheritance—powerful, but silent.
That left only one path.
Tracing the source of the corpse.
This was not difficult for the Virtual Universe Corporation.
With the Virtual Universe as a tool, information flowed faster than light.
Bai Yue contacted the department responsible for collecting Life-form remains. Very quickly, the source was identified.
The corpse had been provided by a World Lord named Bo Jing.
At Bai Yue's request, the staff immediately sent over Bo Jing's Virtual Universe account.
He wanted to ask personally.
In a quiet teahouse within the Virtual Universe, Bai Yue met World Master Bo Jing.
Bo Jing looked more like a merchant than a cultivator—plump, well-dressed, with sharp eyes constantly darting about. Yet beneath that appearance lay the calm vigilance of a veteran.
At this moment, however, unease flickered unmistakably in his gaze.
The young man seated across from him radiated an intangible pressure, a transcendent bearing that could not be concealed. And standing silently at his side was an Undying.
Li Ya.
Even without introductions, Bo Jing knew he was facing someone he could not afford to offend.
Bai Yue did not waste words.
"World Master Bo Jing," he said calmly, "I summoned you only to ask a question. There is no need to be nervous."
"Please ask, my lord," Bo Jing replied immediately. "As long as I know the answer, I will not conceal anything."
As he spoke, Long Kui projected an image into the air.
It was the Sky-Horned Ant.
Bo Jing's pupils contracted slightly. His powerful memory churned, and recognition surfaced almost instantly.
"This corpse…" he said after a brief pause. "It should have come from the Garbage Star Region."
That answer aligned perfectly with Bai Yue's own investigation.
Bo Jing had indeed been stationed in the Garbage Star Region five years ago—and might still be there now.
Despite his merchant-like demeanor, Bo Jing was far from weak. He was a veteran who had clawed his way up from the Outside Territory Battlefield, earning the Virtual Universe Corporation's evaluation of 'Sector Lord War General'.
Such a title was never given lightly.
More than a century ago, sensing his own bottleneck, Bo Jing had withdrawn from the military system, paid a price, and transferred to the Garbage Star Region as official staff—while privately reselling certain materials using his access.
"Do you know where the garbage originates?" Bai Yue asked. "Which battlefield?"
Bo Jing shook his head. "I only know that it comes from the Outside Territory Battlefield. The specifics are beyond my authority. Even within the Garbage Star Region, information is compartmentalized."
Bai Yue nodded.
That much was expected.
The operational mechanism of the Nine Garbage Star Regions was itself a major secret. Though mocked as "garbage" by many Immortal Gods, their true value exceeded that of entire Universe Countries.
As long as wars between races continued, an endless tide of wreckage would be transferred there—collapsed World Lord inner worlds, shattered warships, Immortal-crafted weapons, mechanical puppets, technological behemoths…
Individually ruined.
Collectively priceless.
Since no further answers were forthcoming, Bai Yue set the matter aside.
What he had already learned was enough.
From the analysis results, this Sky-Horned Ant had been extremely young—certainly less than a hundred years old. For a Life form with such a noble bloodline and terrifying lifespan, it was barely out of infancy.
That explained everything.
It had not yet grown.
And before growth, even the greatest potential meant nothing.
A single E-grade laser cannon had been enough to end it.
The realization struck Bai Yue with sobering clarity.
Talent. Bloodline. Destiny.
All of it was meaningless without the strength to survive.
A single stray ripple of the outside world could grind a so-called peerless genius into dust.
This thought hardened Bai Yue's resolve.
He would not entrust his fate to luck, nor to the mercy of others.
He would seize it—
Firmly.
Completely.
In his own hands.
