Upon seeing his arrival, Oniens hurriedly transmitted, "Brother, hurry up and make your move! This guy is too tough; I can't handle him on my own!"
"Let me first test my own strength," Xiar replied.
He did not activate the Source Energy armor he possessed but instead stretched his body, entering a true totem fusion state, also known as the merger.
There was a slight sense of embarrassment that left him somewhat puzzled.
A silvery light swirled around him as he underwent a complete transformation—specifically, a pair of fox ears sprouted from the top of his head, and a fluffy white tail appeared behind him.
The so-called merger was quite literal; it meant that he and Firefly had fused into one, amplifying each other's powers to achieve a terrifying attack strength far greater than the sum of their parts.
This form was named Second Form by Xiar, while his original state was referred to as First Form.
Upon entering Second Form, he instantly felt as if his entire being had undergone a comprehensive elevation. His vast mental energy materialized and spread out, making him feel as though he had turned the area within a thousand meters into his own Divine Realm!
The Divine Realm referred to the ability to control everything within that space, and he had surprisingly begun to possess such power.
Now, let's test the attack power.
Xiar's eyes had already transformed into a brilliant purple hue. He moved through the air as if teleporting, reaching an incredible speed.
As he approached his opponent, Xiar created a Mental Cage with simple brutality, suppressing the entire Plant Monster!
Boom!
The sprawling branches clashed against the invisible Mental Cage, producing a terrifying impact that managed to block the suppression of the Mental Cage, completely failing to bind it entirely.
However, while it could withstand this attack, those in Ultimate Form or even weaker monsters would not be able to resist.
"Annihilate!" Xiar spoke calmly, like a deity in control of everything, as his mental power instantly swept over all the monsters.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
One by one, the monsters fell from the air, their mental wills erased, completely brain dead!
This was the terror of mental abilities; resistance meant instant death.
Unlike energy or physical attacks, which required one to chop an opponent into pieces or burn them to ashes to achieve a kill!
"Impressive!" Oniens's expression changed suddenly, realizing that Xiar possessed such formidable strength.
Fortunately, Xiar was his teammate; otherwise, if he had teamed up with the Plant Monster to attack him, he would surely be the one to die.
But now, having dealt with all distractions, Oniens unleashed his attacks without restraint.
His attack style was extremely violent, resembling that of a martial artist as he lunged forward, using fists and feet to strike.
However, he was no ordinary martial artist; each punch and kick was infused with Totem Power, capable of compressing the air into projectiles, creating terrifying shockwaves akin to missile explosions.
After gaining a slight understanding of his own strength, Xiar moved his fists and feet and charged into close combat as well.
His melee approach was even more unique; with each attack, he would materialize his mental energy into the sharpest blades, effortlessly slicing through the thick branches of the monsters.
Mental energy was originally formless and intangible, but now it had grown immensely—equivalent to several times its previous size—and had undergone a fundamental transformation. Had it not been for Firefly falling into slumber earlier, he could have completed his Super Evolution after defeating the Disaster Beast and Lava Dragon!
Now he merely extended this process, allowing him to embark on a path of Evolution that fused countless totems as a Spirit Master in the starry sky.
The upcoming battle was a complete massacre. Despite the terrifying combat power of the giant tree, it was gradually dismembered and defeated under the attacks of the two Stellar Hunters.
In the end, an invisible mental chain pierced through the core of the giant tree's soul, utterly erasing it from existence!
Boom!
The massive branches that had been flailing about suddenly came to a halt, transforming into ordinary plants that could no longer move.
Moments later, Oniens finally flew out from within the dozens of meters of branches, holding a large piece of green glowing material and laughing, "Hehe, lucky me! A high-quality Soldier Rank heart, this can sell for over ten thousand Source Currency."
Source Currency is the universal currency in the cosmos. Each Source Currency is equivalent to a standard energy block the size of a fingernail, capable of powering Source Energy Armor for thousands of kilometers, far more stable than metals like gold.
The transactions among Stellar Hunters are even more sci-fi; they can be conducted through an Illusory Soul Shop. One can browse store information anywhere in the universe, and once a transaction is successful, they can hire the other party to transport goods via spatial transfer.
This is managed by a powerful organization known as the Interstellar Taobao Mall, backed by two formidable Hunter Kings who possess the most advanced spatial travel technology, allowing them to monopolize the interstellar courier industry.
Of course, engaging in interstellar spatial travel requires a significant amount of Source Currency. The cost for a single transfer has reached thousands of Source Currency, so it’s best to return and sell this tree heart later before splitting the profits.
Not only was there the gain from the tree heart, but this giant tree monster also granted him 5 Source Evolution Points, clearly much stronger than that mountain-like Evil Beast.
Without hesitation, he consumed the newly acquired Source Evolution Points to facilitate his fusion process with Firefly.
Next, the two decided to team up and search for monsters. Under Xiar's vast mental radiation, they soon found another Soldier Rank monster.
"These formidable creatures that dominate Source Star are merely prey for Stellar Hunters here; how pitiful," Xiar couldn't help but feel a chill after defeating it, deeply aware of the dangers in this world.
Indeed, it was survival of the fittest.
The Stellar Hunters possessed incredibly powerful abilities, allowing them to hunt the monsters on various planets without restraint. If it weren't for the protective spatial barrier surrounding the Source Star, it would have likely been completely wiped clean of life.
Only by reaching the pinnacle of Evolution could one truly control their own fate!
Roar!
At that moment, a terrifying roar echoed from the east, shaking the ground beneath them. Massive dark clouds gathered in the eastern sky, and lightning danced wildly. A Frenzy tornado spiraled from the ground up into the heavens, creating a scene shrouded in apocalyptic terror.
"Hey, there’s actually a Soldier-Level Monster on this planet. Should we go take a look?" Oniens quickly understood and asked.
Soldier Level!
The Disaster Beasts on the Source Star were considered Soldier Rank, capable of wreaking havoc on a single planet. In contrast, Soldier Level monsters possessed the formidable ability to fly short distances through space.
"I want to check it out; maybe we can find something valuable," Xiar replied. Having seen so much, he had never encountered such powerful beings at this level and was naturally eager to learn more.
"Then let's go. We'll keep our distance to avoid getting caught up in it," Oniens said decisively, and together they flew toward the east…
