Chapter 605: Chapter 296: Hermit’s Knowledge (3)

That wasn’t a tentacle in the conventional sense, but an extension of the "Devourer’s" will, a being beyond material existence.

When this "tentacle" touched the essence of the "Hermit," a battle beyond comprehension erupted.

The collision of two cosmic level beings caused the surrounding space to twist and shatter.

Several galaxies were destroyed by the aftermath of this conflict, turning into cosmic dust.

Despite the "Hermit’s" full resistance, the power of the "Devourer" was beyond imagination.

Its "tentacle" began to erode the "Hermit’s" essence, gradually disintegrating it.

The "Hermit’s" consciousness started to fragment, countless shards of knowledge scattered, like a magnificent rain of thoughts.

Ultimately, the "Hermit’s" core was devoured by the "Devourer", but a part of it.

... perhaps the purest fragment of consciousness escaped, drifting through the void.

Over a long period, these fragments of consciousness coalesced into a stable structure, eventually transforming into a special star — now known as the "Hermit Star."

It is both a cosmic entity and a repository of thought, belonging to this universe yet transcending beyond conventional understanding...

As these fragments of ancient memory flowed through Ron’s consciousness, he felt an unprecedented shock.

These pieces of information were far beyond his current understanding, each concept so vast and abstract that his consciousness could barely hold them.

Yet it was precisely this boundary-transcending experience that propelled a qualitative leap in his Spiritual Power.

He could feel his Spiritual World rapidly expanding, breaking through its former confines layer by layer.

["Star Eater’s Ravings" Current Progress: (Mastery 30/500)]

[Spiritual Power has reached a new threshold: 5.5]

[Morning Star Level Stage One breakthrough complete]

[Hermit Star has been lit up, gaining additional trait: Hermit’s Knowledge]

[Hermit’s Knowledge:

1. Increased thinking speed, greatly enhancing comprehension and memory, with additional bonuses when analyzing complex information

2. Enhanced level of spiritual entanglement, boosting the potency of spiritual attacks

3. Some ability to foresee danger]

This chain-like experience of enhancement was so exquisite, letting Ron immerse in an unparalleled exhilaration of growth.

Simultaneously, his Magic Pool, under the influence of the "Star Projection" trait, was undergoing unprecedented expansion.

Just within this brief breakthrough process, his Magic Attribute rose to 4.6, which would normally take months of cultivation.

A brand-new perception ability also awakened within him — "Hermit’s Knowledge," a unique ability bestowed by the "Hermit Star."

He sensed his perspective changing without him realizing it.

Not just the material world, but even the flow of energy, thought fluctuations, and even the minute traces of time became crystal clear.

This perception ability, combined with "Extraordinary Recognition" and "Elemental Perception," transformed into a more fundamental and profound Insight, greatly enhancing his inspiration.

Ron indulged in this newfound power, relishing the various changes brought about by his breakthrough.

However, just when he was about to end his meditation and return to reality, a subtle sense of crisis suddenly welled up in his heart.

The feeling was faint yet extremely clear, as if something was secretly observing him, scrutinizing his every move.

He immediately became vigilant, focusing his consciousness, and cautiously probing his surrounding Consciousness Space.

At first, he found nothing.

The sea of stars remained calm, the "Hermit Star" still emanating a gentle glow, with no visible anomaly.

But as he activated the newly acquired "Hermit’s Knowledge," a disconcerting discovery surfaced.

In a corner of his Consciousness Space, there was an almost imperceptible fine crack, thinner than a hair by countless times.

This crack was not part of his consciousness structure but an external trace.

It was a miniature channel connecting his Spiritual World to some unknown dimension.

Even more alarming was an abnormal Energy Fluctuation slowly seeping through the crack.

It was a type of energy related to time itself, ancient and cold, carrying an indescribable predator’s aura.
