Swallowed Star: Wish Fulfillment System

"This power has already reached the limit of the third-step Eternal Ancestral God level," Xiao Yu thought to himself, as he was currently at the limit of the third-step Eternal Ancestral God level.

It is precisely because of the uniqueness of his Hunyuan Dao that he was able to create a killing method at the limit level of the fifth step of the Eternal Ancestral God, even at the limit level of the third step of the Eternal Ancestral God.

However, he still sees no hope of creating a technique comparable to the level of a Six-Step Eternal Ancestral God.

As the power of the black star awakened, its size increased dramatically, and light shone from within it.

In the blink of an eye, the black star grew larger than the Mountain of Destruction, its light becoming increasingly intense and terrifying, even tearing apart layers of space and time.

The spacetime surrounding the black star is riddled with spiderweb-like cracks.

The cracks spread to the spacetime range where Xiao Yu was located, but were blocked by the physical domain formed by Xiao Yu himself, and the countless cracks could not get close.

"boom!"

The light emanating from the black stars condensed into threads, enveloping the spacetime area where the Mountain of Destruction was located, as well as the spacetime where Xiao Yu was located.

These filamentous rays of light contained terrifying energy, were incredibly condensed, and possessed terrifying piercing power, easily piercing through the protective energy shield that appeared on the surface of Xiao Yu's black robe.

Countless filamentous rays of light pierced, wrapped, and entangled Xiao Yu from all directions. Moreover, even when the filamentous rays were blocked and shattered by the black robe, new filamentous rays of light were constantly generated.

At the same time, an immense pressure descended from the void.

Xiao Yu could feel the immense pressure emanating from the sky, the mountain of destruction beneath his feet, and even from the void in all directions.

The terrifying pressure was suppressing Xiao Yu, making it difficult for him to even swing his arm.

"Annihilation Tactics".

As soon as Xiao Yu had a thought, the Nine Revolutions Chaos Annihilation Array rose up, and a thousand sword lights condensed in the air. The energy reserves within each sword light reached five ten-thousandths of his total energy reserves.

"kill!"

As the formation activated, countless blade lights condensed within the Nine Revolutions Primordial Annihilation Formation. The blade lights were icy cold, instantly annihilating countless wispy rays of light.

A flash of light instantly annihilated a large area of ​​filamentous light around it.

Countless blade lights also coalesced into a massive blade light, instantly striking the black star within the killing formation.

"Pfft~"

The black star disappeared like a bubble, and then suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Yu, startling him.

"call!"

The black star, indestructible and possessing immense power, suddenly struck Xiao Yu's body.

The black robes fluttered, the protective energy layer on the surface was torn apart, and a terrifying power was transmitted to Xiao Yu's body, causing Xiao Yu's body to tremble and also sending him flying backward.

“Once the Nine Revolutions Primordial Annihilation Array is activated, it seals off space and time, yet this black star was able to leave the killing array. The previous black star must have been an illusion. The fact that this illusion was so realistic that even I didn't notice it beforehand must be because the illusion also contained a portion of the black star's energy core,” Xiao Yu speculated.

The black star contains six supreme-level forces: the power of indestructibility, the power of illusion, the power of the earth, the power of matter, the power of light, and the power of darkness.

The six highest-level powers were perfectly combined, as if an array was used to unify all the power, allowing the black star's power level to reach the level of a fourth-step eternal ancestral god.

"They're really tough to deal with." Xiao Yu felt a surge of fighting spirit. "But I like them."

The tougher the opponent, the happier Xiao Yu is. Only in this way can there be a tempering effect; if the opponent is like a weak chicken, easily killed, where is the fun in fighting?

Even though this was a test, Xiao Yu didn't like the feeling of crushing weaker opponents.

"Unleash all power."

After fighting for a while, Xiao Yu became familiar with the Black Star's fighting style and also found the Black Star's energy core.

With a single thought, all the power of the Nine Revolutions Primordial Annihilation Array erupted instantly, and a thousand incomparably condensed sword lights instantly shone with dazzling brilliance.

"Boom~"

The Nine Revolutions Primordial Annihilation Array gathers the energy from a thousand sword lights, forming a massive sword light containing half of Xiao Yu's energy reserves.

Its energy reserves are comparable to the total energy of a mysterious place.

"kill!"

The massive blade of light slashed through the void in an instant, unleashing terrifying power. In the previously empty void, a colossal black star appeared.

However, this black star had been cleaved in two, and the broken part was covered with dense cracks, from which countless blade lights emerged.

In an instant, the entire black star turned to dust. The energy core that the Mountain of Destruction had given to the black star was also affected by the blade light. The black star turned into energy and condensed into a black star sculpture in its original location.

"This black star is really troublesome. Even though I've already located it, I still need to destroy the entire black star before its energy core will emerge." Xiao Yu understood that if he encountered such a powerful being outside the Abyss of Destruction, it probably wouldn't be so easy to deal with.

After all, its energy core was given by the Mountain of Destruction, while the life cores of the Eternal Ancestral Gods had already evolved and merged with the highest level of power, so even if they were shattered, they would not die completely.

"Five Destruction Fruits now." Xiao Yu was very happy. "These five Destruction Fruits were really hard to obtain."

The seven sculptures on the Mountain of Destruction are each more difficult to deal with than the last. The first and second sculptures could be defeated by an Eternal Ancestral God in a single step.

The third one would require a second-stage Eternal Ancestral God to defeat.

The fourth sculpture possessed the strength of a three-step Eternal Ancestral God, and by the fifth sculpture, it could even unleash techniques comparable to those of a four-step Eternal Ancestral God.

A fourth-step Eternal Ancestral God—how terrifying! It's only because of the suppression of the Mountain of Destruction that a fourth-step Eternal Ancestral God could easily destroy a mysterious place outside.

"The strength of these six sculptures should have reached the level of a fourth-step Eternal Ancestral God," Xiao Yu guessed. "Let's give it a try."

The talents of the four-step Eternal Ancestral Gods also vary. The weaker four-step Eternal Ancestral Gods are not even as good at killing enemies as some three-step Eternal Ancestral Gods who are good at killing enemies.

Some fourth-step Eternal Ancestral Gods who excel at killing enemies can unleash power at the level of fifth-step Eternal Ancestral Gods through various means.

Xiao Yu continued forward.

The sixth sculpture—a miniature Mountain of Destruction—began to awaken, its invisible aura locking onto Xiao Yu from afar before slowly flying towards him.

Its flight speed was relatively slow, and the closer it got, the larger the Black Mountain became, until it was one-tenth the size of the Mountain of Destruction.

Xiao Yu cautiously observed the other party, sensing that Black Mountain's power was far more terrifying than the fifth sculpture, Black Star.

"boom!"

Black Mountain's speed suddenly increased dramatically, unleashing a terrifying aura that directly shattered space and time, suppressing Xiao Yu's movement. "Facing this Black Mountain, methods like cutting off life force, locking on, and causality are meaningless. Only attack, attack it head-on, destroy it, completely destroy its body." Xiao Yu instantly understood how to defeat his opponent.

Xiao Yu neither dodged nor evaded, but drew his sword directly.

The sword flashed.

"boom!"

The layers of spacetime within the area where the Mountain of Destruction was located seemed to have been cleaved open by a bottomless, boundless rift, from which endless black mist surged out, resembling a long, narrow abyss.

Layers of spacetime were cleaved open, and a terrifying crack was also cleaved into the massive black mountain. Parts of the surrounding mountains were also shattered, causing the crack to expand several times over.

At the same time, the massive body of Black Mountain swept past Xiao Yu, sending him flying backward and causing him minor injuries.

As Xiao Yu was sent flying, he continued to swing his sword while recovering from his injuries.

"Boom~"

The massive black mountain continued to rampage, its power terrifying. Whenever Xiao Yu was grazed or touched, he would be sent flying and injured time and time again.

Xiao Yu recovered from his injuries time and time again. With the support of the terrifying absorption of energy, the energy in his body remained at its peak.

Despite his ongoing injuries, Xiao Yu continued to strike with his sword, the blade landing repeatedly on the massive black mountain.

The blade flashed, seemingly capable of cutting through anything, carving out terrifying cracks.

Or perhaps its power erupted, shattering large sections of the Black Mountain's body.

Or perhaps the power lay dormant, the blade light seeping into the interior of Black Mountain through the cracks, gathering power before exploding in an instant, annihilating large parts of Black Mountain's body.

Or perhaps its terrifying power erupted deep within the Black Mountain.

"Boom~"

Xiao Yu flew backwards in all directions. Although the power of this Black Mountain was only at the fourth step of the Eternal Ancestral God level, the power of its impact had reached the fifth step of the Eternal Ancestral God level at its peak.

Each of Black Mountain's terrifying impacts caused Xiao Yu to lose at least two percent of his energy reserves, even after he effectively blocked and weakened the impact's power.

Black Mountain's attack was overwhelming, a crushing assault that was even more terrifying than Xiao Yu's, and his body was also stronger.

Fortunately, Black Mountain is one of the seven sculptures and has the weakness of an energy core. If it were a true fourth-step eternal ancestral god, Xiao Yu would probably have no hope of winning.

"Boom~"

After hundreds of days of fierce battles with Black Mountain, exchanging blows hundreds of millions of times every day, Xiao Yu finally understood Black Mountain's weaknesses and grasped its patterns.

"kill!"

With a single thought, Xiao Yu focused his mind and unleashed a powerful strike.

This strike incorporated everything Xiao Yu had mastered: the power of the ultimate level of the three-step Eternal Ancestral God, as well as the mysteries of many Daos such as matter, life, time, and causality.

He also incorporated his understanding of Montenegro and all the methods he had specifically devised to exploit Montenegro's weaknesses into this strike.

With this slash, a purple-gold blade light soared into the sky. The inconceivable power of the purple-gold blade light crushed all space and time, almost breaking through the vast vortex of destruction surrounding the Mountain of Destruction.

The purple-gold blade light nearly annihilated the space-time where the Mountain of Destruction was located, and also annihilated every part of Black Mountain's body. The core within Black Mountain's body was also annihilated by the purple-gold blade light.

In an instant, the entire Black Mountain silently transformed into energy, and the vast energy returned to its original location, transforming back into the original sculpture.

"We won." Xiao Yu was pleasantly surprised, a smile spreading across his face.

The battle against Black Mountain was the most difficult battle Xiao Yu had faced since becoming a lord. Despite the hardship, he was confident of defeating Black Mountain within a day of fierce fighting.

The reason they fought for hundreds of days was that Black Mountain's strength was only slightly higher than his, making him a worthy opponent. Driven by his desire for victory, Xiao Yu fought Black Mountain relentlessly until he could no longer gain anything from the battle. He then ended the fight with all the cultivation he had accumulated in this life.

Suddenly, an invisible wave enveloped Xiao Yu.

"Ok?"

Xiao Yu sensed that he could mobilize an incomparably vast energy, and this power came from the Mountain of Destruction.

With the help of this energy, Xiao Yu saw the true face of the Abyss of Destruction.

They saw the surface world of the Abyss of Destruction—the Destruction World, which has thirty-four layers in total, and also saw the progenitors and lords who occupied the Destruction World.

Xiao Yu saw the existences of Si Kong, Wu, Guangzu Shen, Minghuang, Naigu, Jin, Shazhou, Yuan, Xingmang, Luo Feng, and others.

Upon seeing the true form of the black shadow occupying the thirtieth level of the world of destruction, Xiao Yu realized that it was a huge four-faced bird with its feathers shrouded in black mist. He understood that this four-faced bird came from outside the Eternal Land and was a core member of the Black King's Shadow.

Its strength, suppressed by the Eternal Land, can only reach the level of a two-step Eternal Ancestral God.

"So, these four flying birds are also beings born in this cycle, which is why the Abyss of Destruction allows them to enter the world of destruction." Xiao Yu also understood that as long as a being is born in this cycle, it is qualified to enter the surface world of the Abyss of Destruction.

Whether they can occupy a layer and destroy the world depends on their strength.

They also saw the being occupying the thirty-first floor, radiating endless light. It also came from the Shadow of the Black King and was slightly stronger than the Four-Sided Flying Bird.

The 32nd, 33rd, and 34th floors, however, remain unoccupied and undeveloped, with only the original World Messenger present in the world of destruction.

Continuing to observe with the help of this energy, Xiao Yu saw the inner world—the 'Sea of ​​Destruction' of the mind world. It was formed by the accumulation of negative mental energy by countless beings in the Hengyuan Heaven Realm over countless years, creating an extremely terrifying Sea of ​​Destruction.

"The Abyss of Destruction can be divided into three parts: the surface 'World of Destruction,' the inner 'Sea of ​​Destruction,' and the core 'Mountain of Destruction.' The Mountain of Destruction is the most core part of the Abyss of Destruction." Xiao Yu was secretly shocked. This information was firsthand news from the entire Hengyuan Heavenly Realm.

"The portion of energy I can draw upon comes from the Abyss of Destruction." Xiao Yu could sense that the power he could control and draw upon accounted for one-seventh of the total power of the Abyss of Destruction.

Xiao Yu also understood that the reason he was able to control this energy was because he had passed the sixth trial of the Mountain of Destruction.

At the same time, Xiao Yu also sensed that the Mountain of Destruction contained terrifying energy, which was about three times the amount of energy he controlled, or three parts of energy.

“The mountain of destruction occupies three parts, and one part is obtained through the sixth trial, which makes four parts of energy. There are still three parts of power that are unknown.” Xiao Yu thought to himself, “The core of the mountain of destruction is equivalent to occupying four parts of power. The surface world of destruction and the inner sea of ​​destruction also each occupy some power, but the exact amount they occupy is still unknown.”

Xiao Yu also had some guesses about the power that controlled the world and the Sea of ​​Destruction.

As the Sea of ​​Destruction within the inner world, it typically wields greater power than the surface world of destruction.

As the one who wields a portion of the power of the Abyss of Destruction, Xiao Yu also understood the Abyss of Destruction's duty: besides devouring the most intense negative spiritual power of the Hengyuan Heaven Realm, its primary duty is—destruction. (End of Chapter)
