Swallowed Star: Wish Fulfillment System

Xiao Yu had already reached the level of a third-step Eternal Ancestral God, but he did not expect that there would be a hidden space-time that could isolate him from his senses within this Abyss of Destruction.

“I’ve encountered an opportunity. Just like Luo Feng,” Xiao Yu replied, then carefully observed the surrounding space-time.

The vast destructive power transformed into a massive vortex, containing countless mysteries. These mysteries were primarily based on destruction, but also incorporated elements such as light, thunder, wind, fire, water, darkness, matter, the immeasurable, earth, time, space, life, causality, and the soul.

These mysteries ultimately transform into various forms of destructive power at the highest level.

He was currently traversing this massive vortex of destruction.

"What terrifying destructive power! Even my body can hardly withstand it." Xiao Yu could sense that this destructive power was not just a combination of dozens of the highest-level destructive powers.

When Xiao Yu carefully sensed this vast destructive power, he felt as if he were facing the entire Hengyuan Heavenly Realm.

With his current level of cultivation, it is impossible for him to face the entire Hengyuan Heaven Realm directly. Even a portion of the power of the Hengyuan Heaven Realm would be irresistible to him.

Xiao Yu had previously observed the essence of the Abyss of Destruction from a perspective of fluctuation, but now, upon revisiting it, he saw a completely different scene.

……

The thirtieth level of the Abyss of Destruction.

A dark, destroyed world, with layers of black mist flowing everywhere.

"Xiao Yu, the lord of the Eternal Land, has also entered the core of the Abyss of Destruction." A figure shrouded in black mist kept watching the world of destruction above.

It has been here for a very long time, on the thirtieth level of the Abyss of Destruction.

"What a lucky fellow," the shadowy figure said enviously. "I can't enter the core of the Abyss of Destruction; I can only wander on the surface."

Any living being born in the Eternal Origin Heaven Realm can venture into the Abyss of Destruction. As long as it can break through all the obstacles of a layer of the Destruction World, it can occupy that layer of the Destruction World.

However, there are selection criteria for those who wish to delve deeper and gain opportunities.

"In this cycle of annihilation, I wonder how many beings will be qualified to enter? And will any eternal ancestral god be able to wield the Abyss of Destruction?" The shadowy figure sighed. "It's a pity that my strength is suppressed here by an invisible force, and I have no hope of obtaining any opportunities."

The shadowy figure was originally a terrifying being; at the Eternal Ancestral God stage, its strength had reached a very high level.

"It is said that the Eternal Land cannot suppress the power of the main god." The shadowy figure had also seen such rumors, but he had never seen it with his own eyes.

During this incredibly long period of time, in this cycle of annihilation, the gods never set foot in the Eternal Land.

Even the highest-level Heavenly Missions are carried out by sending members like them.

"If I had known this mission would be this difficult, I should have given up. This one mission has taken me so long," the shadowy figure lamented. He had been venturing into the Abyss of Destruction for a long time.

At that time, beings like Infinity, Yuan, and Ice Peak were either not yet born or had not yet become progenitors or lords.

It is precisely because the events surrounding the Shadow's trespassing in the Abyss of Destruction are so ancient that very few of the progenitors of the Eternal Land have ever seen it.

Moreover, most of these few progenitors perished in the struggles, and almost none of them survived to this day.

"Fortunately, there's still hope of completing the mission." The shadowy figure couldn't help but get excited when he thought about the rewards he would receive after completing the mission.

Moreover, this task itself is a reward-based activity.

If he could refine the Abyss of Destruction, the improvement for him would be significant.

……

Spacetime fluctuations enveloped Xiao Yu, penetrating through layers of folded spacetime, deepening and getting closer to the core.

Finally, Xiao Yu saw it. Under the cover of the overwhelming destructive power, there was a mountain, which seemed to be the source of all destruction.

Xiao Yu's soul trembled slightly, feeling a sense of closeness to the mountain.

"So many weapons!" Xiao Yu could vaguely see that all sorts of weapons were stuck in the mountain of destruction: knives, spears, swords, halberds, long spears, rakes, axes, and other weapons of various shapes.

"The weapons of destruction that the Eternal Ancestral Gods occasionally obtained while venturing into the Abyss of Destruction must have been conceived here," Xiao Yu speculated.

Xiao Yu had already refined a mysterious place and had some understanding of the methods by which mysterious places nurture treasures.

The countless weapons of destruction are but a small part of this mountain of destruction.

"call!"

Spacetime fluctuations enveloped Xiao Yu, bringing him closer and closer to the Mountain of Destruction. When he finally flew out of the vortex of destruction, the Mountain of Destruction appeared clearly before his eyes.

The Mountain of Destruction is a pitch-black mountain range with thick, dense black mist flowing through it. Weapons nurtured on the mountain gleam with a faint light, among which thirty-four clusters of light stand out the most, like thirty-four bright stars in the darkness.

"The fourth Eternal Ancestral God to arrive at the Mountain of Destruction, if he can pass the seven trials, will be able to take control of the Abyss of Destruction!" Xiao Yu received this message as he descended to the outermost edge of the Mountain of Destruction.

Xiao Yu knew this information.

Before him, Ancestor Shazhou, Ancestor Zebo, and Luo Feng had all entered the Mountain of Destruction. Xiao Yu was the fourth Eternal Ancestral God to enter this place.

“Even Xingmang and Yuan have no chance to enter this Mountain of Destruction. It seems that those who can come here must have undergone special selection.” Xiao Yu guessed.

There are at least two criteria for being selected to enter the Mountain of Destruction.

First, strength.

Second, they have a fondness for destructive power.

The four who have entered the Mountain of Destruction all have achieved something in the power of destruction; this is what they have in common.

Jin, the lord of the cultivation camp, created the Chaotic Origin Destruction Path. Jin's mastery of the Destruction Path even surpassed that of Luo Feng, who had just entered the Destruction Mountain, but he failed to obtain any opportunities.

This is because the Gold Lord's strength is insufficient.

"Let's take a closer look." Xiao Yu was very curious about the thirty-four lights on the Mountain of Destruction.

From the thirty-four beams of light, Xiao Yu sensed a familiar aura—the power of destruction. The thirty-four beams of light represented thirty-four different types of destructive power.

Xiao Yu had already witnessed nineteen of these thirty-four destructive powers, no wonder he was so familiar with them.

"Thirty-four beams of light represent thirty-four kinds of destructive power, and all of them are the highest level of destructive power. Perhaps, there are also thirty-four layers to the destruction world." Xiao Yu strode across the vast land, each step covering a great distance. Here, he could feel an invisible suppression.

Moreover, the closer one gets to the Mountain of Destruction, the stronger the suppression becomes. If one is a weak progenitor, one will be suppressed in place and unable to move forward.

Xiao Yu walked very fast and soon saw a mountain path.

Thirty-four beams of light converged on the Mountain of Destruction, forming a vein that outlined a mountain path leading from the foot of the mountain to its summit.

"We've reached the foot of the mountain." Xiao Yu looked ahead.

At the foot of the mountain stand seven sculptures. The first is a massive bird, the entire sculpture made of black material.

The second one is the Hydra Beast, whose serpentine body is very similar to that of the Infinite Serpent Clan, and it is 90% similar to the appearance of the Infinite Clan's ultimate fusion.

The third being was a cloud of mist, its form constantly shifting, with a huge eye on its surface, very similar to the eternal ancestral god 'The Hermit'.

The fourth one is a cube, similar to the immortal and indestructible cube.

The fifth one is a black star.

The sixth one is a small black mountain, much like the Mountain of Destruction.

The seventh statue is a miniature Abyss of Destruction, with smaller sculptures on each level inside. Xiao Yu could recognize them as Si Kong, Tai, Wu Lan, Jin, Ming Huang, Mo Man, Yuan, Infinite Serpent, Tian Huo, Bing Feng, Sha Zhou, Xing Mang, Luo Feng, and others.

"Those beings who once controlled a layer of destruction in history are all contained within this seventh sculpture, right?" Xiao Yu was startled.

Suddenly, a message arrived.

Xiao Yu immediately understood that these seven sculptures represented seven trials.

Challenge the statues in order of arrival, starting with the first one. Only after defeating the first statue can you be qualified to challenge the second statue, and so on. Once you have defeated all seven statues, you can control the entire Abyss of Destruction.

"The challenge begins."

Xiao Yu walked towards the bird sculpture.

"boom!"

As Xiao Yu approached to a certain distance, the bird sculpture suddenly came to life, bursting forth with terrifying flames. Its head lowered slightly, its eyes gleaming as it carefully examined Xiao Yu.

The bird sculpture erupted with endless flames that swept in all directions, including Xiao Yu's body. Layers of secret patterns flowed on Xiao Yu's black robes, and an energy protective layer appeared on his body to resist these impacts.

The bird sculpture laughed.

"boom!"

The bird had already pounced on Xiao Yu. Its speed was similar to that of the Light Ancestor God; it was omnipresent and moved at a speed like teleportation. And its flames were similar to those of the Heavenly Fire Ancestor, capable of scorching the soul.

Xiao Yu was confident in his abilities and did not dodge the attack.

The bird's wings, like enormous blades, slashed at Xiao Yu's robes, tearing apart his protective energy layer, and causing his black robes to tremble as if being blown by a hurricane.

Xiao Yu's body trembled slightly, and all his power dissipated.

Immediately afterwards, the bird's enormous claws appeared out of thin air and reached for Xiao Yu's chest. Xiao Yu stretched out a finger and blocked the ferocious claws.

Then, with a slight tremor of his finger, the fiery bird flew backward, and just before it hit the ground, it turned into endless flames and dissipated.

Then a huge bird head appeared in front of Xiao Yu, opened its sharp beak, and spewed out rolling nine-colored flames that scorched Xiao Yu's body.

Xiao Yu withstood the scorching heat of the nine-colored flames, and with a flick of his wrist, his five fingers pierced the head of the firebird like hiltless blades.

The two sides clashed quickly.

The birds seemed to have no physical body, gathering and dispersing unpredictably, omnipresent. The nine-colored flames were even more ferocious and explosive, with incredibly sharp claws and bodies of immense strength.

"The bird sculpture in the first test is already comparable to a first-stage Eternal Ancestral God, much stronger than Yuan," Xiao Yu judged. "Although its power is strong, its moves are clumsy, and even Yuan could easily defeat it."

After a brief exchange, Xiao Yu had become extremely familiar with the bird's body and could already sense the location of its energy core.

When the birds gather again.

"cut!"

Xiao Yu pointed his finger, and a flash of blade light appeared.

This flash of light contained terrifying energy, yet it was incredibly restrained. A glint of light flashed, and the light struck the core of the bird's body.

A dazzling light appeared, and at the same time, the bird sculpture disappeared.

Flames gathered nearby, forming a bird sculpture that remained motionless in place.

The energy released from Xiao Yu's sword light was absorbed by the ground beneath his feet, forming a mark.

"By imprinting the mark, I can directly descend in person next time without having to travel. Just like the Eternal Land." Xiao Yu understood. Passing the test of the first sculpture qualified him to leave a mark on the Mountain of Destruction.

After leaving his mark, Xiao Yu felt that the majestic mountain in front of him became much more welcoming, and the original suppression and obstacles dissipated.

Without any obstruction, Xiao Yu sensed that the thirty-four orbs of light on the Mountain of Destruction were also incredibly clear. These orbs were composed of thirty-four different runes representing the power of destruction.

Looking at the thirty-four orbs of light, Xiao Yu no longer needed to venture through the layers of destroyed worlds to carefully comprehend the thirty-four highest-level destructive powers.

Of course, Xiao Yu's journey to the Abyss of Destruction wasn't just for cultivation; it was also a way to relax and unwind.

Solely focusing on rigorous training isn't necessarily a good thing; occasional battles can be a welcome change.

“Thirty-four kinds of destructive power, some are formed by the fusion of the mysteries of two paths, and some are formed by the fusion of the mysteries of three paths.” Xiao Yu carefully comprehended the thirty-four orbs of light. “These highest-level powers are all based on destruction, but are compatible with many mysteries.”

“This Mountain of Destruction is also a kind of cultivation guide. If you follow this guide, you can theoretically master thirty-four kinds of destructive power and perfectly integrate them into one.” Xiao Yu guessed. “The limit of this path is the level of the seventh step of the Eternal Ancestral God. Even if you can’t reach the limit, you can still achieve the level of the sixth step of the Eternal Ancestral God.”

"However, this path is more suitable for progenitors who are born with a life core, and not for cultivators."

Xiao Yu understood this as well.

The cultivator lord comprehends the Dao, which is far more profound than the highest level of power.

Moreover, since the leader does not have a life core, even if someone like Xiao Yu or Luo Feng creates their own source within their body and then guides the formation of a life core, it is still much less efficient.

"Although I won't take this path, I can learn from it. The fusion of destruction and many mysteries will be of great help to me." Xiao Yu then stood on a wide open space some distance away from the seven sculptures.

Those seven sculptures, as long as they are at a sufficient distance, will not trigger the trial.

Xiao Yu stood on the ground, carefully observing the thirty-four orbs of light, studying each one meticulously. Even those orbs of light that he had already grasped gained new insights from the perspective of the secret runes.

Xiao Yu stood there for a full century.

Over the course of a hundred years, Xiao Yu has comprehended eighteen of the thirty-four destructive powers.

These eighteen destructive forces are the forces of fracture, the forces of severing life, the forces of extinction, the forces of annihilation, and so on. The mysteries contained within these eighteen destructive forces are all within Xiao Yu's grasp.

"The fusion progress of the Chaos Origin Destruction Dao is now 30% complete." Xiao Yu was very happy; this trip to the Abyss of Destruction had been very fruitful.

Even if he couldn't control the Abyss of Destruction, Xiao Yu was already content. (End of Chapter)
