Swallowed Star: Drawing Talents

Above a fragmented continent, high in the clouds.

An ordinary spaceship hung motionless, its advanced detection instruments from the Virtual Universe Company activated, while those below in the clouds remained completely unaware.

With the financial "support" of Voidfire Honored One, Yang Wu's detection equipment had long been upgraded.

The set of detection instruments in his possession was considered precious even among Universe Honored Ones.

Inside the spaceship's control room, Yang Wu looked at the images displayed on the detector and immediately recognized the identity of the individuals.

"The Yan God Clan!"

Yang Wu's knowledge of the relationship between the Yan God Clan and the Human race was limited to what was revealed in the original story.

Although his own permissions within the Virtual Universe were high, the Yan Emperor's secession from the Human race, leading the Yan God Clan, was not recorded in detail within the Virtual Universe.

However, one thing was certain: the Yan God Clan was not having an easy time.

Lifeforms born within the universe's secret realms could easily cultivate into undying deities, but the probability of producing a Universe Honored One was ridiculously low.

The Yan Emperor led the Yan God Clan, completely severing ties with the Human race, relocating the entire clan into a universe secret realm, single-handedly dragging down the entire clan's potential.

Sometimes, Yang Wu even suspected if the Yan Emperor feared that a genius with even greater talent than himself would emerge within his clan, be taken as a disciple by Sitting Mountain Guest, and then usurp his power and position.

It wasn't Yang Wu's fault for thinking this way.

With the Yan Emperor's strength, he could have completely opened up a territory in a remote area of the universe to protect the Yan God Clan's livelihood and development.

A universe secret realm, while sounding better in terms of safety, was essentially a place to coast along and await death.

The entire clan's potential was directly suppressed.

Otherwise—with the race meticulously cultivated by Sitting Mountain Guest, how could only one third-tier Universe Master, the Yan Emperor, have emerged by now, with only two or three Universe Honored Ones?

"What a pity, such good physical talent."

Yang Wu felt a slight sense of regret.

With the Yan God Clan's physical talent combined with the Earthlings' mental fortitude, they would have been the most perfect race in the entire primal universe.

The Yan God Clan lineage could be considered a living version of the Nine Secret Manuals, representing Sitting Mountain Guest's achievements in the direction of physical genes, possessing the physical talent to break through the limits of life genes.

According to Sitting Mountain Guest's initial plan, the exceptional individuals born within the Yan God Clan would have had the opportunity to break through to the third level in terms of divine body, breaking through shackles with more than nine times the life gene to achieve the position of True God.

Unfortunately, the exceptional individual, the Yan Emperor, who emerged from the Yan God Clan, was not satisfactory in terms of either mental fortitude or comprehension, ultimately failing to meet Sitting Mountain Guest's expectations.

It was because the Yan Emperor disappointed Sitting Mountain Guest that he painstakingly used the Heavenly Soul Crystal to record the Nine Secret Manuals, nurturing the Earthling lineage.

During his return to Earth, after failing to cultivate the Nine Secret Manuals, if Yang Wu hadn't obtained the Life Cubic Puzzle, perhaps he would have considered nurturing a Yan God Clan clone.

"Hmm? Beast God Inheritance Token?"

The Yan God Clan member in the detected image, after cautiously surveying his surroundings, actually produced an item out of thin air: a hexagonal stone about the size of a human palm.

On the hexagonal stone tablet, there was a depiction of a strange beast standing upright and roaring.

"Haha, it came without any effort!"

Yang Wu was ecstatic.

The information given by Swallow King only provided a rough coordinate range, and this information was almost publicly available.

Throughout the outer territory battlefield, anyone with a source of information could basically know this information.

It was just that initially, many people were searching, and after Universe Honored Ones searched for a period of time without success, this information gradually became a secret.

Yang Wu had even prepared to make a wasted trip, but who would have thought that as soon as he arrived, he would encounter a Yan God Clan member who had found the inheritance token.

"There is a cause, there must be an effect!"

Yang Wu suddenly thought of this saying.

The Yan Emperor snatched the treasures of the Human race back then, and now the tables have turned.

"King Armor?"

Yang Wu easily recognized the armor on that Yan God Clan member.

King Armor was exclusive armor prepared by Sitting Mountain Guest for the Yan God Clan lineage.

Apart from those who cultivated the Nine Secret Manuals and the Yan God Clan, no one else could refine and use it.

A King-level powerhouse wearing King Armor would be directly granted 100,000 times the power of a Domain Lord.

King Armor not only granted power, but its defense was comparable to a heavy treasure.

Attacks exceeding 100,000 times the power of a Domain Lord would be weakened by more than 90% by King Armor.

Material attacks below 100,000 times the power of a Domain Lord would be completely blocked by King Armor, and soul attacks below the peak of King-level would also be completely blocked.

"Although it's a bit troublesome, it's not impossible to kill!"

Yang Wu muttered.

With a complete set of heavy treasures and self-created secret techniques, he possessed great confidence on the outer territory battlefield!

Even if he encountered those powerhouses who were almost invincible at the King-level, Yang Wu was confident in killing them.

The heavy treasures on him were not all spent on the Human body; Yang Wu never felt he had too many life-saving items and directly obtained a large pile.

Even ordinary Universe Honored Ones could have a layer of skin scraped off by him.

On the fragmented continent.

This tall and sturdy Yan God Clan member was excitedly playing with the hexagonal stone token in his hand.

"Hmm? Not good!"

Suddenly, the Yan God Clan member felt an invisible wave sweep through the void.

His entire body was instantly frozen, unable to move, and all physical senses fell into darkness, leaving only his consciousness in a state of wakefulness.

"Time standstill!"

The Yan God Clan member was horrified.

He was also a peak King-level powerhouse who specialized in the law of time, but he comprehended it in a different direction.

He cultivated time acceleration.

Time acceleration was to control the flow of time within a certain range around consciousness, influencing the enemy's movement speed, or to apply time acceleration to oneself, increasing one's instantaneous speed.

Or to integrate it into one's own unique skills, such as applying it to swordsmanship, where the attack speed would become faster, especially in battle, under the bizarre flow of time that was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, one could attack the opponent without any warning.

"Break for me!"

The Yan God Clan member's will and consciousness were roaring wildly, and time acceleration frantically impacted the flow of time around him, attempting to break free from the shackles of time standstill.

Tear!

Just as the Yan God Clan member broke free from the shackles of time standstill, a purple stream of light, carrying a terrifying destructive power, tore through space and fell towards his location.

Boom!

The stream of light fell, like a supernova explosion.

The flow of time was no longer stable, and countless fragments of space shattered and scattered.

This fragmented continent, eternally flying in the vortex, was instantly torn apart.

The Yan God Clan member didn't have time to react in any way, and his divine body was instantly annihilated into powder.

The fragmented continents that were torn apart were unaffected and continued to fly around the vortex.

~

A figure thousands of kilometers tall appeared in place, waving his hand and instantly scooping up the overturned hexagonal stone tablet.

"No—"

"Return the token to me!"

The Yan God Clan member, whose divine body was recondensing, upon seeing Yang Wu scoop up the token that he had obtained through great hardship and almost exhausting all his wealth, immediately disregarded the loss of 8% of his divine body.

Holding a lightning spear, he directly ignited his divine power, and endless lightning bloomed from the spear, rushing straight towards Yang Wu.

Time acceleration disrupted the flow of time around his body, causing his speed to skyrocket, and tens of millions of times the power of a Domain Lord erupted, instantly bombarding the thousands-of-kilometers-tall body.

The thousands-of-kilometers-tall body shattered and dissipated into the sky like a dream bubble.

"Afterimage!"

The Yan God Clan member was horrified.

This space had been disrupted, and countless fragments of space were floating in the turbulence.

It was impossible to perform spatial teleportation.

Without time fluctuations or spatial fluctuations, relying solely on speed, he had actually created an afterimage in front of him.

"~"

"Boom!"

In the instant of the Yan God Clan King-level powerhouse's horror, purple lightning suddenly appeared in the void, and a purple towering pillar stood horizontally, its earth-shattering power surging out.

"Heavy treasure?!"

"No, how is this possible?"

The Yan God Clan member's face was filled with despair.

In just the instant of the exchange, he sensed that the lightning carried by the purple pillar possessed a bizarre, unstoppable power of destruction.

This was the power of a heavy treasure.

"Thunder Calamity Light!"

Endless thunder seas converged, and purple lightning snakes flickered, traversing the shattered spatial turbulence.

An aura of death locked onto the Yan God Clan member.

Locked by this aura of death, the Yan God Clan member's heart was frantically warning him.

This terrifying power far exceeded the upper limit of what King Armor could withstand and could definitely severely injure him with a single blow.

The thunderous ocean of lightning crushed down, completely turning the surroundings into a desolate area, and the Yan God Clan King-level powerhouse's divine body instantly shattered.

"Die!"

The Yan God Clan King-level powerhouse, whose divine body shattered and reformed, didn't hesitate at all and directly detonated the remaining undying divine body, and an aura of destruction erupted from his body.

Boom!

The energy accumulated over hundreds of millions of years was completely released at this moment, and the violent energy caused the entire world to be enveloped in dazzling light.

"Open for me!"

Yang Wu lightly shouted, and Thunder Calamity Light erupted in all directions, the vast and mighty purple lightning and the terrifying torrent of energy collided with each other.

The remaining destructive power, after being weakened by the Azure Snail Armor, impacted the undying divine body of the Moyun Vine.

The terrifying energy storm lasted for nearly two minutes before slowly dissipating.

Whoosh!

A black stream of light came from afar, revealing a shuttle-shaped spaceship.

"Master, there are several auras rapidly approaching, all of them are King-level powerhouses."

"Alright, retreat first."

Yang Wu waved his hand and put away the spaceship, taking a step and instantly disappearing from the spot.

In the distant reaches of this battlefield, an inconspicuous meteorite drifted past.

Less than half a minute after Yang Wu left, figures appeared above the battlefield ruins.

"Such terrifying energy fluctuations, at least a King-level limit powerhouse self-destructed!"

"This is a fragment of the Flowing Gold Battle Armor! Could it be that the Flowing Gold King has fallen?"

The Yan God Clan's golden King Armor was a uniform, standard battle armor, basically every King-level undying had one.

Although there were few Yan God Clan members in the entire Seventh Battlefield, and there were only two or three peak King-level Yan God Clan members, once they were equipped with King Armor, they could basically unleash the combat power of a Lord-level limit.

The Yan God Clan's Flowing Gold King had a great reputation throughout the Gemini Starfield, and he was one of the few King-level limits.

"Even a King-level limit has fallen, has he encountered a King-level invincible? Which King-level invincible has come to the outer territory battlefield, or is it a newly born King-level invincible!"

"If it's the latter, that's fine, but if it's the former, the outer territory battlefield may be about to set off a storm."

The existence of King-level invincibles was very rare among the billions of races in the universe.

Their numbers were extremely scarce, and they were all looking for opportunities to step into the Honored One level.

Few would enter the outer territory battlefield, because the outer territory battlefield was not challenging for them.

Unless—there were treasures in the outer territory battlefield that were enough to make them excited, or opportunities that could allow them to step into the Universe Honored One level.

Within a corner vortex of the Gemini Starfield, a very inconspicuous fragmented continent, deep beneath this continent, there was a vast underground cave.

Buzz!

Ripples like water waves spread out, and Yang Wu's figure appeared out of thin air from the void.

In the Gemini Starfield, no one dared to perform large-scale long-distance teleportation.

Yang Wu had also teleported a short distance more than a dozen times before arriving at this underground cave.

Deep within this underground, he easily built an underground residence.

"Beast God Inheritance Token!"

Yang Wu activated the miniature detection instrument, shielding the possibility of being detected, and then took out the palm-sized hexagonal stone tablet, holding it in his hand and examining it.

"What a wonderful metal."

The texture of the Beast God Inheritance Token was heavy.

Yang Wu tried to pinch it hard, but the metal plate was undamaged, it was unknown what metal it was made of.

Yang Wu's gaze fell on the hexagonal stone tablet, and a wisp of invisible mental power flew out and quickly drilled into the hexagonal stone tablet.

When the mental power had just penetrated in, it seemed as if he had entered an ancient world.

At the same time, a message poured into his mind.

"The holder of the Beast God Inheritance Token can go to the place of inheritance, and if the talent, aptitude, and ability meet the requirements, then it is possible to obtain the Beast God Inheritance.

The universe coordinates of the place of inheritance are—."

This message directly drilled into Yang Wu's mind, and the message also described that this hexagonal metal plate was: "Lightning, Time" fusion law Beast God Inheritance Token.

"This treatment is too obvious!"

He had just lacked the Beast God Inheritance Token, and then the Inheritance Token was delivered.

However.

Giving it to someone else is the same as giving it to himself.

It's better to suffer others than to suffer himself.

Yang Wu didn't want to work hard to find it himself.

Although the future can be micro-controlled, the time is too long and it is difficult to affect the simulated Yang Wu, which has a very high degree of autonomy.

Even if micro-control is carried out, it can only affect the first few hundred years of the simulation.

"Simulate!"

Yang Wu's consciousness instantly sank into the world ring, investing in the small, brilliant palace.

Time Palace!

Hundred times speed.

With the Beast God Inheritance Token in hand, it was natural to use the advantage of simulation as soon as possible, go to the Ancestral God Cult inheritance place, and brush out the fusion law.

Deduction.

Continue to deduce the self-created secret technique to the limit, until it is deduced to the ultimate secret technique level.

Time passed quietly.

In the years that followed, Yang Wu began his secluded cultivation in this underground cave.

And outside.

The fall of the Yan God Clan Flowing Gold King, this information also began to gradually ferment, attracting waves of speculation.
