Devouring the Stars: Withdrawing Talents

Originating from the continent, the Heavenly Pillar Realm.

Deep within the Heavenly Pillar Realm lie massive bone mountains, a total of 289, with countless crevices within them, resembling a labyrinth.

The most conspicuous feature is a river of filthy blood that meanders between the mountains of bones.

This River of Filthy Blood is so polluted that if a second-level God King were to come into contact with its blood, they would be completely tainted and die instantly. Its pollution can even affect their clones, causing their souls to die completely.

Debris was everywhere!

The entire River of Blood and Defilement was a mass of remains, and those mountains of bones were also mass of remains.

"call……"

Yang Wu's figure quietly arrived here. The meandering Blood River stretched as far as the eye could see, with lush plants growing along its banks and within the Bone Mountain, taking root deep underground.

"I can't see through it!"

Yang Wu was somewhat surprised when his vision was blocked. He could see through the Dream Domain completely, but there were about 10% to 20% of the Heavenly Pillar Realm that he could not see clearly.

He could not see the blood-stained river ahead clearly, only a large part of it. He could only see the surface of the bone mountain, and the deepest part was also unclear. He could not see the depths of the earth either.

According to Yang Wu's guess, the Bloodstained River was formed by the blood pollution of at least world-class Hunyuan life forms, and there might even be the blood of Hunyuan lords deep in the riverbed.

After all, Yang Wu himself was already a high-level Chaos Origin Lifeform, and the filthy blood that even he couldn't see through was definitely not the blood of a high-level Chaos Origin Lifeform.

"I've heard that natural treasures are easily born in this River of Blood, in the Mountain of Bones, and deep underground."

Yang Wu smiled. This was strange. Whether it was the Dream Domain or the Heavenly Pillar Realm, every naturally occurring treasure was kept very well hidden.

Based on his discerning eye, he has not yet seen any trace of a naturally occurring treasure.

Wow!
A powerful clone materialized, possessing the strength of a God Emperor through its physical body alone.

Despite the corrosive influence from the Bloodstained River, they quickly reached its depths. Although the pressure was increasing, it remained within the upper limit of the Origin Continent.

"Om~~~"

Just as they reached the very core, deep within the filthy river, the void at the bottom of the river suddenly trembled, causing the entire filthy river to shake slightly.

Gradually, even those mountains of bones began to tremble slightly.

Click!

The entire void seemed unable to bear the weight and shattered into pieces. In an instant, a void river surged out and flowed through the void.

This void river flows mightily, reflecting the filthy blood river yet remaining separate.

hum~
The moment Yang Wu's fingers touched it, the void river rapidly contracted, transforming into a long spear radiating boundless primal energy, its surface covered in mysterious runes containing endless mysteries.

"Huh, this spear tip..."

Yang Wu examined the composition of the spear, finding traces of its vast and profound secret patterns and the nine fundamental principles under the supreme rules.

At the tip of that spear, Yang Wu actually sensed a rare and profound spiritual force, the spear's momentum like a vast, boundless river.

"Manghe Spear!"

A message flooded into Yang Wu's mind. He observed the deep secret patterns of the Manghe Spear. As a high-level Hunyuan life form, his mental will was naturally extremely high.

The deep secret patterns that Yang Wu carefully observed were very different from the secret patterns seen from a normal perspective.

"This this……"

Upon closer inspection, Yang Wu was somewhat astonished. From his perspective, the deep secret patterns of the Manghe Spear existed simultaneously in multiple time and space dimensions.

It's like a magnificent architectural masterpiece, where time and space seem to stand still in its innermost layer.

At the deepest part of Manghe Gun, the mighty river is forever fixed at a certain point in time.

Time is locked, eternally unchanging.

No matter how many years have passed in the outside world, the mighty river continues to flow as it did in the beginning. "It's so beautiful."

As Yang Wu watched, time and space collapsed into a fixed point at the deepest part of the gun, and from the core point outwards, space gradually unfolded.

As space unfolds and takes shape, time begins to flow slowly. These secret patterns operate simultaneously in every ever-flowing timeline.

To see different spaces generally requires reaching an extremely high level in the fundamental Dao of space; to see different timelines also requires reaching an extremely high level in the path of time.

Yang Wu could see all of this with ease, and even some very secret information could not escape his observation. This was the perspective of a higher-level Hunyuan life form.

"Cultivators usually focus on one great path; it is already very rare to be able to cultivate two or three great paths simultaneously."

"But this Manghe Spear contains at least a hundred kinds of Great Dao, and can be perfectly combined."

Yang Wu was quite shocked, especially by the various ways in which the secret patterns of life and destruction were combined during the research process, which broadened his horizons.

Even Yang Wu's cycle of birth and death branch shows the possibility of further development, and the method of fusion is far more rudimentary than it.

……

boom!
Having obtained the new weapon and treasure, Yang Wu naturally wanted to test its effects. With just a little effort, he easily shattered the void of the Origin Continent.

A dark crack appeared directly, revealing a 'dark space' on the other side, through which a great deal of primordial energy was seeping in.

Whoosh!
Without the slightest hesitation, Yang Wu rushed into the Hunyuan Space along the torn crack.

Huhuhu~
A massive surge of primordial energy rushed in. This was Yang Wu's first time entering the primordial space. The primordial energy here was inexhaustible. If the life within the cage were to be touched, it would likely be rapidly eroded.

The physical body is like air; the power of primordial chaos can directly penetrate the physical body, and even penetrate the soul of the cultivator. The process of penetration is also a process of erosion.

However, for Yang Wu, this chaotic space was like a fish breaking free of its cage, leaping into the vast ocean, and all suppression vanished.

On the Origin Continent, Yang Wu's strength was suppressed. The Origin World was like a cage, with dense seals restricting his power.

"Cool!"

Fish enter the sea, free from all constraints.

As Yang Wu felt the power that was no longer suppressed, he couldn't help but want to find an opponent and then unleash it without restraint.

Within the Hunyuan Space, a figure was traversing at supersonic speed, the vast Origin World behind him rapidly shrinking before disappearing from sight.

Huhuhu~
When it first broke out of the Origin Continent, the concentration of Hunyuan Power around it was still relatively low. However, as it flew at high speed, it could feel the concentration of Hunyuan Power constantly increasing.

As Yang Wu continued forward, the darkness and silence ahead grew increasingly profound, and the power of Hunyuan became even more concentrated.

"That's it!"

"Let's see how many secret runes I can activate with my current understanding of the Great Dao, and see how powerful they are."

Yang Wu was quite curious. Weapons and secret treasures require certain conditions to activate. In theory, only a half-primordial level Daoist can fully unleash the power of the Manghe Spear.

but……

Although Yang Wu's current Dao is only at the Ultimate Realm, his life essence is extremely high, so he can easily unleash the full power of the "Manghe Spear".

buzz~
The direct force of the calamity drove the deep secret patterns of the Manghe Spear. The Manghe Spear vibrated slightly, and its power caused the endless primordial energy around it to tremble.

In an instant, Yang Wu felt as if he were controlling a colossal creature, a creature that was rampaging and whose power surpassed even the ultimate realm secret techniques.

"What terrifying power."

Yang Wu sensed it briefly; he hadn't even fully unleashed his power yet, but the explosive force was enough to easily kill hundreds of people like him before his breakthrough.
