🌌 Chapter Begins...
Luan's heart raced as the Fragment of Eternity pulsed in his hand, its light growing brighter by the second. He could feel it—this was no ordinary artifact. It was a piece of a much grander puzzle, one that had been hidden away for millennia.
The moment he touched the Fragment, his vision blurred. Strange symbols, galaxies, and ancient ruins flashed before his eyes. He could feel the energy of the universe itself—its vastness, its power—flowing through him. His body trembled with the force of it.
"I can feel it..." Luan gasped, the voice of the Celestial Core ringing in his ears.
💠 Ding! Celestial Power Unlocked!
"Fragment of Eternity detected. Cosmic Energy Integration Initiated."
"New Ability: Universe's Pulse." 💠

🔹 The Universe's Pulse
Luan's mind was flooded with a new understanding of the universe's flow. He could feel the pulse of the stars, the movement of galaxies, and the power of cosmic entities. It was overwhelming, but at the same time, empowering. With a single thought, Luan could now harness the energy of the cosmos around him.
"This is insane," Luan whispered, staring at his hands as they crackled with cosmic energy. "I can control this... but what does it mean?"
Suddenly, the Celestial Core spoke again.
💠 Ding! Warning! Incoming Threat Detected. New Enemies Approaching. 💠
Luan's senses flared. He could feel the shift in the air—the ominous presence of new enemies drawing near. He wasn't alone anymore.
"They're coming," Luan muttered, his heart pounding. "I don't have time to waste."

🔹 The First Encounter: The Cosmic Hunters
Out of the dense jungle, from the very fabric of the universe itself, appeared two figures—each one more terrifying than the last.
🔹 Zaharith (The Eternal Void): A being that appeared to be made entirely of dark energy. His form was ever-shifting, as if he existed both within and outside of the physical realm. His eyes burned with an ancient, infinite malice, and his voice echoed like the void itself.
"So, the boy has claimed the Fragment. Foolish mortal, you do not understand what you hold."
🔹 Kaelos (The Starborn Hunter): A towering warrior clad in silver armor, his eyes glowed with a cold, calculating intelligence. His presence exuded authority, and he carried an enormous energy-infused sword that crackled with cosmic power.
"The Fragment is ours. You are nothing but an obstacle in our path," Kaelos said, his voice smooth but filled with undeniable menace.
Luan's heart skipped a beat. These were no mere mortals. They were cosmic hunters, beings of immense power who existed beyond the boundaries of normal space and time. And now, they were after him.

🔹 The Battle Begins: Luan's First Test of Cosmic Power
"I don't have time for this," Luan muttered to himself, summoning the full might of his newfound powers.
💠 Ding! Universe's Pulse Activation: Full Power Surge! 💠
Luan's body crackled with cosmic energy as he launched himself at Zaharith. Energy tendrils reached out from his hands, striking the dark figure with unrelenting force. The air around them exploded with the force of the attack.
Zaharith laughed, his form shifting to avoid the blows. "You cannot defeat me, boy. You are too weak."
But Luan's movements were faster now. His body moved with the grace of someone who had been training for centuries, his strikes more precise and powerful than ever. With each punch, he sent shockwaves through the fabric of reality itself. The very air hummed with the energy of the cosmos.

🔹 Kaelos' Counterattack
While Luan was focused on Zaharith, Kaelos seized the opportunity. With a single movement, he unsheathed his massive sword and swung it with deadly intent. The blade cut through the air with the sound of a thunderclap, aiming directly at Luan's chest.
Luan barely managed to twist away in time, the blade grazing his side and leaving a wound that burned with cosmic energy. He winced in pain but immediately recovered. The pain was nothing compared to what he had already endured.
"You're going to regret underestimating me," Luan growled, his eyes blazing with fury.

🔹 Unlocking the Cosmic Barrier
Luan's mind raced. He could feel the energy of the universe flowing through him, but it wasn't enough. He needed something more to counter these opponents. Then, it hit him.
💠 Ding! Ability Unlocked: Cosmic Barrier.
"Activate to protect against cosmic-level attacks." 💠
With a thought, a barrier of shimmering energy surrounded Luan. It was translucent, yet it pulsed with power, resonating with the energy of the stars themselves. When Kaelos' sword struck the barrier, it was as if it had struck a wall of pure force, sending a shockwave that rattled the jungle.
"Impossible!" Kaelos yelled, pulling back, stunned by the strength of Luan's barrier.

🔹 The Turning Point: Zaharith's Dark Power
Zaharith, growing tired of the battle, raised his hand and summoned a vortex of dark energy. It spun rapidly, drawing in the very essence of the universe itself. The ground trembled as the air grew thick with unrelenting power.
"You cannot escape the void, mortal," Zaharith sneered, preparing to release the vortex upon Luan.
But Luan wasn't going to let this happen. He could feel his strength growing, his connection to the Fragment strengthening.
💠 Ding! Universe's Pulse: Overdrive Mode.
"Activating Overdrive Mode for a burst of infinite energy." 💠
Luan raised his arms, drawing the cosmic energy from the Fragment of Eternity itself. He released a massive cosmic shockwave, the energy swirling around him like a celestial storm. The vortex that Zaharith summoned was overpowered, dissipating into nothingness as Luan's blast obliterated it.
---
🔹 The Defeat of Zaharith and Kaelos
Zaharith staggered backward, the force of the blast knocking him off balance. Kaelos, seeing that the battle was turning in Luan's favor, charged in with his sword raised high.
But Luan wasn't done. With a final surge of energy, he struck both Zaharith and Kaelos with a powerful wave of cosmic energy, sending them crashing to the ground.
The two cosmic hunters lay motionless, their forms flickering as the cosmic energy burned away their protective barriers.

🔹 The Aftermath
Luan stood victorious, his body crackling with residual cosmic energy. His breath was heavy, but he felt something new within him—strength, confidence, and the realization that this was only the beginning.
"I've done it," Luan whispered, staring at the defeated foes. "But what now? Who else is after the Fragment?"
The answer, however, would come sooner than he expected.
