Swallowed Star: Drawing Talents

Original Secret Realm.

Outside Yang Wu's palace, on a plaza, a sword-shaped spaceship slowly descended.

Whoosh~

The hatch opened.

"Your Highness Yang Wu, this is the cargo you ordered."

Two white-robed World Lords flew down from the spaceship, one of them directly approaching Yang Wu and respectfully handing over a World Ring.

"Mm!"

Yang Wu accepted the World Ring, refined it, and scanned through it with his mental power, quickly confirming the receipt. He then looked up at the two and said.

"Thank you for your trouble!"

The two white-robed World Lords replied, "Your Highness is too kind, this is what we should do. Now that Your Highness has confirmed the receipt, we will not disturb you further."

After speaking.

The two World Lords respectfully took their leave, quickly returning to the sword-shaped spaceship. The spaceship started, slowly ascended, and then transformed into a stream of light, rapidly departing from the Original Secret Realm.

Inner World.

Because it was custom-made and the Azure Conch Armor was completely unowned, Yang Wu merely integrated his spiritual imprint and quickly recognized the armor.

After recognizing its owner, the Azure Conch Armor rapidly transformed into a liquid and merged into the skin of the Destroyer Beast.

The moment it merged.

Yang Wu immediately gleaned some basic information.

As a Universe Venerable-level standard battle armor, the Azure Conch Armor clearly did not possess the power of a Supreme Treasure, nor did it grant strength like soldier or general armor.

Hardness.

Was its most obvious characteristic.

With a thought from Yang Wu, a layer of azure armor immediately appeared on the Destroyer Beast's right arm. Thump~

He reached out and tapped the armor.

The hardness of this layer of azure armor could completely ignore material attacks below the initial stage of a King, i.e., material attacks with power of ten thousand times a World Lord's force.

Material attacks below the Universe Venerable level were directly weakened to one-tenth, and material attacks from Universe Venerables were weakened to one-half of their original strength.

In addition to this.

The Azure Conch Armor lived up to its name, as it could comprehensively cover the wearer's entire body based on their divine body's strength.

Leaving no fatal areas exposed.

When encountering threats.

It could completely retract the Azure Conch Armor, like a turtle retracting its head, to resist the danger of large-scale explosions similar to the Bowburst Fire God Source Crystal.

With a thought from Yang Wu, the azure armor on his arm rapidly proliferated, instantly covering the Destroyer Beast's entire body, while simultaneously forming a complete set of azure battle armor on the surface.

The face was similarly covered by a helmet, this layer of azure armor essentially becoming one with Yang Wu's muscles and skin.

Sharing visual perception completely.

This set of Azure Conch Armor.

Was most suitable for genius World Lords to use for life preservation, especially after Yang Wu added 'Soul Jade Rock' to it, directly weakening soul attacks below the Universe Venerable level to one-half.

As long as one's body strength could reach a hundred times a World Lord's power, they could wear this armor.

However…

Even among the World Lord members of the Original Secret Realm, probably only a dozen or so could afford this set of armor. If the 'Soul Jade Rock' modification was included.

No one could afford it.

After all, no matter how many points they had, they couldn't reach the Universe Venerable level.

And 'Soul Jade Rock,' this special soul-type material, was very difficult to obtain even for Universe Venerables.

In short.

With this set of 'Azure Conch Armor,' plus the 'Thunder Glass Pillars' that arrived more than two months ago, the Destroyer Beast clone's combat power.

Was finally truly comparable to an initial-stage King.

Its defense was maxed out, but it was still lacking in combat power.

Law Comprehension.

Yang Wu's spatial law comprehension was only at the level of an ordinary Undying, and his temporal law comprehension had only just begun.

After all, no matter how strong a secret technique was.

It couldn't be practiced without sufficient law comprehension, let alone unleash powerful combat power.

"Frost Ice Mountain!"

Yang Wu took out the Frost Ice Mountain inheritance crystal, looking at the multicolored prism.

Currently, the only thing that could quickly increase his combat power was the body amplification secret technique within this Frost Ice Mountain.

Virtual Universe.

Yang Wu entered the study, sat on the sofa, pulled up the screen, and directly selected to enter the cultivation task page.

"Desperate Level!"

Without the slightest hesitation, he directly selected the Desperate Level task.

"Beep—Beep!" Instantly, an ear-piercing sound emitted from the screen.

"Solemn reminder, the mortality rate for Desperate Level tasks is 90%. Surviving a desperate situation requires both strength and luck."

"Yang Wu, we solemnly remind you that once you confirm, there is no turning back. We suggest you try taking a Desperate Level task after experiencing several qualification battles."

The electronic voice echoed in the room.

Yang Wu ignored the warning and directly selected Confirm.

Desperate Level 90% mortality rate.

Yang Wu didn't know how the Virtual Universe Company calculated that integer.

But if he were to enter with his conditions and die with his style of doing things, then this Desperate Level's mortality rate could probably be changed to 100%.

And compared to those dangers.

Weakness was the real desperate situation.

Of course, Yang Wu wouldn't be careless in the slightest. His own strength hadn't reached the point where he could ignore all threats.

Although his talent was strong enough, only those who survived could become strong.

The dead…

No matter how awesome they were, they were just geniuses hanging on the wall.

Beep!

The page on the screen automatically refreshed, showing a brand new page with a list of Desperate Level tasks.

1. Purgatory Abyss (Virtual Universe Company, Original Secret Realm).

2. Cloud Palace (Giant Axe Martial Arts Arena, God Origin Secret Realm).

8. Demon Mountain (Virtual Universe Company, Primordial Secret Realm).

18. Blood Demon Continent (Universe First Bank, Blood Drop Secret Realm).

There were only 18 Desperate Level task lists, and only 4 task secret realms were under the Virtual Universe Company.

The other 14 were in the secret realms under the Giant Axe Martial Arts Arena, the Universe Mercenary Alliance, the Universe Star River Bank, and the Universe First Bank.

Of the four Desperate Level task secret realms, the Original Secret Realm had two, the Primordial Secret Realm had one, and the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm had one.

Yang Wu gently tapped the screen, choosing to accept the 'Demon Mountain' task in the Primordial Secret Realm.

"Beep!"

"Please confirm acceptance of the Demon Mountain cultivation task."

"Acceptance successful."

"Please fill in the departure time. The Virtual Universe Company will arrange for someone to send you to Demon Mountain."

Demon Mountain.

Located in an ancient and mysterious place in the Primordial Secret Realm.

Demon Mountain floated in the void, surrounded by nine ancient planets. Many natives lived on the planets, and these natives would leave the planets and enter Demon Mountain to venture out. As long as they survived Demon Mountain, they could truly be recruited by the Virtual Universe Company and become a member of the Virtual Universe Company.

Demon Mountain Task:

1. Survive in Demon Mountain for three months, reward 100,000 points.

2. Survive in Demon Mountain for three years, reward 300,000 points.

Both tasks were particularly simple.

Half a month later.

A spaceship arrived at Yang Wu's territory. This was arranged by the Virtual Universe Company to send him to the Primordial Secret Realm.

"Your Highness Yang Wu."

Three uniformed men walked down from the spaceship and respectfully saluted.

"Mm, let's depart."

Yang Wu, wearing a red and black battle suit, nodded and said.

"Yes."

The three uniformed men respectfully saluted and followed Yang Wu into the hatch. The hatch then closed, and the spaceship began to slowly ascend.

"Respectfully sending off Your Highness!"

Outside the spaceship, Pang Kun led a group of guards in bowing.

Whoosh!

The spaceship's speed soared, and it disappeared into the distant void in a moment.

After leaving the Ninth Time-Space, the spaceship accelerated to the speed of light in a specially cleared area and entered the dark universe for universe transit.
