Devouring the Stars: Withdrawing Talents

Chapter 224 Flame Core
call!
The huge shuttle-shaped spaceship approached the distant void, and under the guidance of a black triangular traction spaceship, flew into the towering palace suspended in the void.

"King Cangli, thank you for escorting me all the way."

In the extremely spacious hall, Yang Wu bowed to express his gratitude to King Cangli, then followed the white-robed reception staff to another hall.

"Your Highness Yang Wu, this is your pass token!"

In the side hall, the white-robed world master handed Yang Wu a red token and solemnly reminded him.

"Your Highness, when you enter the Seven Flame Palace world later, you only need to show this token to enter. When you return, you can simply crush the token to return."

"I see!"

Yang Wu nodded.

"Your Highness, please remember that in the Seven Flames World, you must never use any purely technological weapons, otherwise you will be wiped out by the rules of the Seven Flames Palace."

"Of course, the virtual universe network can still be used normally in it."

The two quickly arrived at the entrance, which was separated by a layer of faint white light curtain, making it impossible to see what was on the other side.

"Congratulations, Your Highness!"

Yang Wu took out the pass token, and it was as if he was passing through some kind of water curtain membrane. The next moment, his vision blurred, and Yang Wu suddenly appeared in the clouds.

Under the clouds.

It was a vast and desolate land, with mountains and ravines crisscrossing, the vast white land was lifeless, and the dark sky gave people an endless sense of oppression.

desolate!

As soon as you enter this world, a strong sense of desolation hits you in the face.

This extremely ancient world has a diameter of nearly 1 light year, or 9 trillion kilometers.

The vast living space is inhabited by countless powerful beasts. They are savage and ferocious, without wisdom, civilization, or order.

Their nature is full of killing and destruction. They are monsters that are constantly fighting and evolving, and their instincts are filled with bloodlust.

Looking into the distance.

You can vaguely see a palace glowing with seven-colored light. Entering the inner world from the outside, you will be directly projected not far from the Seven Flames Palace.

"Sigh~"

Suddenly there was a hissing sound.

From the clouds, a giant "vulture"-like beast with a wingspan of over a thousand meters suddenly jumped out. Its cold and sharp eyes swept over Yang Wu, and then it pounced on Yang Wu madly.

"puff!"

A giant green hand descended from the sky and instantly crushed the vulture-like beast to pieces. A giant beast a thousand kilometers tall stood among the clouds.

These strange beasts.

They have no intelligence, only a pure killing instinct. They fight and devour each other, forming terrifying physical strength.

The weakest are all at the star level, and the strongest are only at the peak of the realm master. Since they cannot comprehend the laws, these strange beasts will never be able to break through to immortality.

The world of the Seven Flames Palace is very large.

There are also endless strange beasts. They are either transformed from rocks, born from clouds and mist, or crawled out from the corpses of other dead strange beasts.

In short.

Strange beasts are born all the time, and countless strange beasts die at the same time. Their corpses turn into nutrients and return to heaven and earth to give birth to new strange beasts.

It forms a strange cycle.

The clone of the giant beast Huisha flew towards the Seven Flames Palace openly.

Rumble~
The earth trembled and the mountains swayed.

Powerful auras rose from the forests of the mountains below. Like a giant python carved from blue rock, a black misty demon cat with three ferocious heads, and a one-eyed, one-legged minotaur...

"His!"

"Kick!"

After seeing the recycling refusal or detecting the breath, the strange giant beasts, with their pupils filled with blood, rushed towards Yang Wu frantically.

"Boom~~"

"Puff puff!"

With a series of crushing sounds, all the strange beasts that approached the giant beast of destruction, whether they were domain lords or realm lords, were all smashed to pieces by its slap.

Crazy!

The strange beasts around were not frightened, but became even more crazy. The sound continued to spread into the distance, with hundreds of thousands of strange beasts.

Like the tide.

They surged towards the giant beast of destruction.

"Can't afford to offend!"

Yang Wu sped up, rushed all the way, and quickly arrived in front of the Seven Flames Palace.

This temple.

In fact, it is the projection of the Seven Flames Palace in the outside world, a palace that seems to be embedded in the ground, with seven huge whirlpools above the palace.

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.

Each radiated a different light, converging into a colorful curtain of light that enveloped the palace for hundreds of kilometers, preventing any exotic beasts from entering. Switching to the human form.

Yang Wu took out the pass token and instantly stepped into the colorful light curtain.

The vision changed.

What appeared in front of Yang Wu was a huge circular hall. In the center of the hall was a stone pillar that reached the sky, and on the stone pillar were carved strange monster patterns.

And around it are seven entrances of different colors and seven towering bronze gates.

hum~
A light emanated from the stone pillar, and strange words appeared on it. Although no one recognized these words, they could understand their meaning.

Triple maze.

The Seven Flames Palace evolved into a three-level maze. Only after passing through the three-level maze can one enter the assessment site.

Every time you pass through a maze, you have the opportunity to choose to continue or give up. If you fail, you will stay in the maze forever.

Or death!

Yang Wu turned and walked towards the green passage on the side. He gently pushed the bronze door with both hands, and the door slowly opened. Yang Wu stepped out and disappeared into the hall.

Kaka...

The bronze door closed again, and the hall fell into silence.

……

Under the dark "sky" is an alley that is hundreds of meters wide. At the same time, with Yang Wu's current eyesight, he can only see the target one kilometer ahead.

One kilometer away, there is a vast expanse.

"The telekinesis has been compressed to the extreme!"

Yang Wu radiated his mental power, but after it spread out to a hundred meters, the range could not be expanded any further.

"What a strong binding force!"

He tried to fly up into the sky, but after flying only a few dozen meters high, Yang Wu felt a sense of restraint that seemed to pull him to the ground.

The higher you go.

The stronger the binding force.

"Speed ​​is also limited!"

Yang Wu tried the flying speed. The faster he flew, the greater the pressure coming from all directions became.

“And this wall.”

"What material is it made of?"

Yang Wu supported himself with one hand on the rock-like wall. His mental power could not penetrate into it. The walls on both sides seemed to have strong recovery abilities.

Although the strength of the ninth level of the universe could easily leave marks on it, the wall recovered to its original state in an instant.

Swish!
Yang Wu flew forward, and the fog 1 kilometer away gradually dissipated as he flew, revealing the road covered in the fog.

The passages in the maze are not just straight lines; they bend, spiral upwards, or suddenly form holes pointing downwards...

And in this fog.

There are often some dangers. Sometimes a strange beast will suddenly jump out or make some noise, and those strange beasts will pounce on you madly when they hear it.

Fortunately along the way.

They were just some small cosmic shrimps, and Yang Wu's human self easily took care of them.

About 10 minutes or so.

Yang Wu finally flew through this passage and came to three bronze gates. The three huge bronze gates towered into the clouds and were about hundreds of kilometers wide.

There is a fork in the road, and you can choose one of the three options to enter.

Without hesitation, Yang Wu directly chose the gate on the far left. With just a light push, the huge stone gate opened smoothly.

"Roar!"

Yang Wu just stepped in.

A dog-like beast covered in flames, hundreds of meters tall, rushed towards Yang Wu.

The ninth level of the universe!
laugh!
Yang Wu suddenly rushed out, like a stream of red light, instantly piercing through the dog-like beast.

Although the speed is limited, everyone is also limited, but Yang Wu's instantaneous burst speed is far beyond the maximum speed of the same level.

Click, click, click...

The strange beast that was pierced through from behind seemed to fall apart and instantly turned into flames and dissipated. Only nine diamond-shaped crystals slowly appeared and rotated in the air.

"Flame Core!"

Yang Wu's eyes lit up. These were nine diamond-shaped translucent crystals. He could clearly see the red lines engraved inside the crystals.

This is the proof required in the mission, but it looks like this flame core should have other uses.

Yang Wu put it away and flew forward quickly.
