All Heavens: Sharing Talents with Countless Mes

Chapter 758 A Starry Sky Beast That Feeds on Spatial Energy
“This feeling,” Chu Yang struggled to maintain his balance, “is like dancing on a knife’s edge.”

He proceeded cautiously along the passage, each step calculated precisely to avoid the slightest deviation. The surrounding spatial turbulence raged like a violent storm, emitting a deafening roar.

Just when Chu Yang thought he could pass safely, an accident occurred.

A sudden spatial fluctuation struck from the side, instantly disrupting the stability of the passage. Chu Yang was caught off guard and nearly got swept into the turbulent current beside him.

"Damn it!" Chu Yang hurriedly activated the Time-Fire Law, forming a protective shield around his body. Golden-red flames surrounded him, resisting the tearing force of the spatial turbulence.

But even greater danger lay ahead. As the passage collapsed, the spatial turbulence began to unleash a chain reaction, becoming even more violent and chaotic. Chu Yang found himself trapped at the center of the turbulence, surrounded by deadly spatial rifts on all sides.

"We must escape as soon as possible," Chu Yang thought anxiously. "Staying here will only make things more dangerous."

He began to manipulate the laws of time, attempting to slow down the changes in the surrounding space and buy himself a chance to escape. However, the power of the spatial turbulence was too great, and even the laws of time could only play a limited role.

Just as Chu Yang was desperately searching for a way to escape, a deafening roar suddenly came from the depths of the turbulent current. The sound was filled with hunger and violence, sending chills down one's spine.

"What is that?" Chu Yang looked in shock toward the direction from which the sound came.

At the deepest part of the spatial turbulence, a colossal black shadow was slowly emerging. It was a monster of unimaginable size, its head alone measuring thousands of feet in length. Its body was covered in silver scales, each scale shimmering with the light of the laws of space.

What shocked Chu Yang the most was that this monster could move freely in the spatial turbulence, as if those deadly spatial rifts had no effect on it at all.

"A cosmic monster!" The knowledge Wutongzi had shared flashed through Chu Yang's mind. "This is a colossal galactic beast that feeds on spatial energy!"

Cosmic monsters are among the most dangerous creatures in outer space. They typically inhabit areas near spatial turbulence or black holes, feeding on spatial energy. Adult cosmic monsters are incredibly powerful; even powerful beings at the peak of the Saint realm are reluctant to confront them directly.

This cosmic monster had clearly noticed Chu Yang's presence. Its crimson eyes were fixed on Chu Yang, gleaming with greed. For this energy-consuming creature, the powerful magical energy emanating from Chu Yang was undoubtedly the most delicious food.

"Roar--!"

The cosmic monster let out a deafening roar, then charged at Chu Yang without hesitation. Its massive body moved through the spatial turbulence with the ease of swimming in water.

Seeing this, Chu Yang dared not be careless in the slightest. This level of cosmic monster was by no means easy to deal with; he had to go all out to have any chance of winning.

"Timefire Law - Blazing Inferno Protection!"

Chu Yang instantly unleashed all the power within his body, and golden-red flames erupted with dazzling light, forming a thick protective shield around him. At the same time, a familiar flaming longsword appeared in his hand, its blade burning with pure temporal fire laws.

The cosmic monster's attack came with incredible speed. It opened its enormous maw, revealing a mouthful of teeth as large as mountains. Even more terrifying, a powerful spatial suction force surged from its mouth, attempting to devour Chu Yang whole.

Chu Yang felt the terrifying suction force and hurriedly activated the laws of time to resist. However, the power of the cosmic monster was too strong, and his body was still involuntarily dragged towards that giant mouth.

"I can't let it swallow me!" Alarm bells rang in Chu Yang's mind.

According to Wutongzi, being swallowed by cosmic monsters is extremely dangerous. These monsters' stomachs are independent spaces filled with digestive spatial energy, making it difficult for even saints to survive.

Chu Yang desperately activated the Time-Fire Law, attempting to break free from the suction force. The golden-red flames burned even more fiercely around him, creating a violent struggle against the spatial suction.

"Timefire Sword Technique - Thousand Strikes in an Instant!"

Chu Yang seized an opportunity and unleashed a series of sword attacks. Countless sword lights shot towards the giant mouth of the cosmic monster like a meteor shower, attempting to stop its devouring action.

To Chu Yang's astonishment, these sword lights, which were enough to severely injure even a saint, only sparked a few fireballs when they struck the scales of the cosmic monster, failing to cause any effective damage whatsoever.

"This defense is too strong!" Chu Yang was shocked.

The scales of the cosmic monster have been tempered by spatial energy for countless years, making them incredibly hard. Ordinary attacks are completely ineffective against its defenses; its weakness must be found.

Just as Chu Yang was considering countermeasures, the cosmic monster attacked again. This time, it didn't use its devouring attack, but instead swung its enormous claws at Chu Yang.

That claw blotted out the sky, its tip gleaming with sharp spatial blades. If struck by that claw, even Chu Yang's formidable body would be instantly torn to shreds.

Chu Yang dared not take the attack head-on and quickly activated his movement technique to dodge. With the blessing of the Time Law, his speed reached its limit, barely avoiding this fatal blow.

"boom!"

The cosmic monster's claws slammed into the void, instantly tearing open several massive spatial rifts. Terrifying spatial storms surged from these rifts, plunging the entire area into further chaos.

“This can’t go on,” Chu Yang thought as he dodged. “We must find its weakness, or find a way to escape.”

He carefully observed the cosmic monster's body structure, searching for possible weaknesses. Suddenly, Chu Yang noticed the monster's eyes. Unlike the thick scales covering the rest of its body, the protection around its eyes was relatively weak.

"That's it!" A glint flashed in Chu Yang's eyes.

However, attacking the cosmic monster's eye is not easy, as that location is far from Chu Yang, and the monster will definitely protect this weak point.

Chu Yang began to formulate an attack plan. He deliberately feigned a retreat in front of the monster, luring it into pursuit. The cosmic monster fell for the trap, opening its massive maw to launch another devouring attack.

In that instant, Chu Yang suddenly changed direction, advancing instead of retreating, charging directly at the head of the cosmic monster. This sudden change caught the monster off guard, leaving it no time to adjust its attack.

"The Ultimate Technique of Timefire—Eternal Blazing Sun!"

Chu Yang unleashed his strongest attack, a golden sun rising in the void, radiating terrifying heat and light. This sun crashed directly into the cosmic monster's left eye, its power enough to melt stars.

"Roar--!"

The cosmic monster let out a painful scream, its left eye severely injured by the Eternal Sun, silver blood flowing from it. This was the first time it had suffered such a serious injury, and its rage reached its peak. "Success!" Chu Yang thought with delight, but immediately became alert again.

The wounded cosmic monster became even more ferocious, abandoning skillful attacks and relying solely on brute force to charge forward. Its massive body rampaged through the spatial turbulence, shattering space in its wake.

Chu Yang was forced to dodge with all his might, but the cosmic monster was too fast and had too wide an attack range, and he gradually found himself unable to cope.

"We must find a way to end this battle as soon as possible," Chu Yang thought anxiously. "Continuing to drag it out will be disadvantageous for me."

He began to activate the primal power of the Wutong Star within his body, and that gentle yet powerful energy instantly surged throughout his entire being. With the blessing of this primal power, Chu Yang's strength increased once again, reaching an unprecedented level.

"The Origin of the Wutong Tree—The Light of Life!"

This is a special skill that Chu Yang learned from Wutongzi, which allows him to convert primordial power into pure life energy. For cosmic monsters that feed on spatial energy, life energy is the power they hate and fear the most.

A golden-green light emanated from Chu Yang, instantly illuminating the entire spatial turbulence. This light carried a rich life force, creating a stark contrast with the surrounding desolate environment.

Sensing the light, the cosmic monster immediately showed fear. It began to retreat, trying to get away from Chu Yang. But how could Chu Yang give it a chance to escape?
"Trying to leave? Too late!"

Chu Yang channeled the life force within his entire body, forming a massive protective shield that enveloped the cosmic monster. Under this protective energy, the monster's movements became sluggish, as if it were stuck in a quagmire.

"Timefire Sword Technique - Annihilation of Life!"

Chu Yang perfectly fused the Law of Time Fire with the Light of Life, unleashing a brand-new sword technique. This sword strike contained the ultimate mystery of life and death, its power far surpassing any of his previous moves.

A golden-green sword light streaked across the void like a comet, striking the cosmic monster's other eye with pinpoint accuracy. This attack was even more powerful, not only destroying the monster's eyeball but also penetrating deep into its brain through the eye socket.

"Roar--!"

The cosmic monster let out its final lament, its massive body beginning to writhe and struggle uncontrollably in the spatial turbulence. But the light of life had already invaded its core, eroding its life force.

Soon, the powerful cosmic monster stopped struggling, its enormous body floating in the void, completely devoid of life.

Chu Yang looked at the dead cosmic monster and let out a long breath. Although he had won this battle, the cost was enormous. In particular, using the primordial power of Wutong Star had left him feeling somewhat weak.

"We must leave here as soon as possible," Chu Yang said, glancing at the still raging spatial turbulence around them. "This is not a place to linger."

But just as Chu Yang was about to leave, he suddenly noticed that the corpse of the cosmic monster was beginning to change. A crystal radiating silver light emerged from the monster's heart—the legendary spatial crystal!

"A spatial crystal!" Chu Yang's eyes flashed with surprise. "This is an extremely precious treasure!"

According to Wutongzi, spatial crystals are the essence condensed within the bodies of cosmic monsters, containing pure spatial laws. For cultivators, this treasure can greatly enhance their understanding of spatial laws and may even help them break through cultivation bottlenecks.

Chu Yang carefully stored away the spatial crystal and quickly left the dangerous area. Although this encounter cost him dearly, the gains were immense. He not only obtained the precious spatial crystal, but more importantly, he gained valuable experience in fighting powerful enemies.

"It seems there will be even more dangers on the way to the Abyss of Despair," Chu Yang thought as he flew. "I must be even more careful."

After flying through the void for a while, Chu Yang finally realized he needed to find a place to rest and recover. He began searching for a suitable planet, preferably one with abundant spiritual energy and a safe environment.

After a careful search, Chu Yang discovered a promising planet ahead. This planet was slightly smaller than the primordial world, its surface covered with vast forests and grasslands, with clear rivers meandering through it. More importantly, this planet exuded a rich spiritual energy and showed no signs of having been developed by any advanced civilization.

"This is it," Chu Yang nodded in satisfaction. "It looks like a suitable place for cultivation and recovery."

He landed on the planet's surface and chose a clearing near a mountain spring as his temporary training ground. The place was surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side, making it both secluded and easy to access water.

Chu Yang sat cross-legged and began circulating his cultivation technique to recover his mana. The spiritual energy on this planet was indeed abundant and extremely pure, without any impurities. Cultivating in this environment was several times more effective than on an ordinary planet.

"Strange, why hasn't this excellent cultivation environment been discovered by other cultivators?" Chu Yang wondered, but he quickly became immersed in his cultivation and had no time to think about it.

As the cultivation technique circulated, the surrounding spiritual energy began to converge on Chu Yang. The golden-red Time Fire Law flowed around him, repairing the hidden injuries he had sustained in the battle and replenishing his depleted mana.

As time passed, Chu Yang could feel his condition steadily recovering. The depletion of the Wutong Star's primordial power was also gradually being replenished, which relieved him.

Just as Chu Yang was focused on his cultivation, he heard a series of light footsteps in the distance. The footsteps were so light that Chu Yang would probably not have noticed them at all if his perception hadn't been extremely sharp.

Chu Yang didn't open his eyes, but his mental energy had already spread out to probe the source of the sound. He discovered a group of creatures cautiously approaching, and judging from their aura, they were likely the native inhabitants of this planet.

"It seems this planet isn't completely uninhabited," Chu Yang thought to himself. "However, these natives are weak and pose no threat to me."

The group of creatures stopped a few dozen feet away from Chu Yang, seemingly observing and discussing something. Chu Yang could hear them making strange noises, probably some kind of primitive language.

Out of curiosity, Chu Yang slowly opened his eyes and looked in that direction.

Upon seeing this, he was somewhat shocked. They were a group of humanoid creatures, about 1.5 to 1.8 meters tall, covered in rough animal hides, and carrying crude weapons made of stones and sticks.

What surprised Chu Yang most was that although these creatures differed from humans in appearance—their skin was bronze, their foreheads were more prominent, and their teeth were sharper—they were indeed intelligent beings that walked upright. Their eyes gleamed with intelligence, clearly indicating they were not ordinary wild beasts.

"Primitive humans?" Chu Yang pondered. "They look like early humans from the Stone Age."

There were about seven or eight primitive people in the group, including several adult men, two women, and a boy who looked to be only a teenager. They all looked at Chu Yang with wary and curious eyes, clearly seeing such "outsiders" for the first time.

Chu Yang slowly stood up, moving as slowly as possible so as not to frighten the primitive people. Even so, several primitive people still nervously raised their weapons and assumed a defensive posture.

"Don't be nervous, I mean no harm," Chu Yang said softly, spreading his hands in a friendly gesture.
