Devouring the Stars: Withdrawing Talents

Originating on the continent, in the ancient kingdom of Thunder.

The sacred Thunder Mountain conceals numerous worlds, including one vast world within it.

A figure lies on the endless grassland. The grassland has withered and flourished time and time again, but this figure lying on the grassland remains untouched by a speck of dust.

time flies.

It's unclear how much time passed before the figure finally opened its eyes.

"The remains of special life forms deep within the Dream Realm and deep within the Heavenly Pillar Realm—now, after countless years, only this one remains."

This figure was none other than the ancestor of the Thunder Kingdom. He frowned as he looked at the golden finger bone in front of him.

"But how exactly can I achieve ultimate awakening? I still have no clue!"

The Thunder Ancestor looked at the golden finger bone before him. This was the last special life remnant, and also the most important one to him.

Throughout the various eras of the Origin Continent, the two progenitors would train monarchs to help collect treasures, especially the various rare and mysterious treasures left behind by the Yuan Dynasty.

Through this, the Thunder Ancestor, who cultivated the Hunyuan bloodline, had already reached the Perfect God Emperor realm.

He had observed the "prisoners" of advanced Chaos Origin life forms many times, and even dissected their corpses, and exchanged information with powerful beings from many worlds.

but.

Regarding the ultimate awakening of bloodline, completely breaking free from the shackles and becoming a primordial being, the Thunder Ancestor currently has absolutely no clue.

"Senior Yuan once told me personally that my breakthrough opportunity lay in this finger bone; as long as I grasped even a little bit of its essence, I could achieve ultimate awakening."

The Thunder Ancestor was quite frustrated and felt very pained. "It's right in front of me, but I've studied it for several eras and I'm still completely baffled. I haven't even grasped the basics!"

He gazed at the golden finger bone, his mind penetrating to see the lightning patterns contained within it, and could vaguely discern a towering, colossal creature.

But that's all.

In fact, Thunder Ancestor was fully aware of his own comprehension abilities. Although both of them reached the Ultimate Realm, it took him dozens of times longer than Flame Wind Ancestor.

He was unable to comprehend the Dao of the "God Emperor Realm" and had no choice but to abandon the lineage of Dao seekers and switch to cultivating the path of the Hunyuan bloodline.

It is indeed much easier to obtain the Hunyuan bloodline. All that is needed is to tap into the bloodline's potential. With time, resources, and a few opportunities, we have managed to get to where we are today.

"We are both at the peak of the God Emperor realm, but those most terrifying beings could destroy me with a single palm strike."

The Thunder Ancestor was well aware of the gap. A God Emperor at the Perfection level was only at the Half-Chaotic Origin level, but even among those at the Half-Chaotic Origin level, the difference between them could still be significant.

A God Emperor of the Enlightened One lineage, who has reached the Perfected Godhood, is naturally much stronger than a cultivator of the Primordial Bloodline.

Moreover, among the billions of powerful beings in the world, there is never a shortage of even more amazing geniuses who can elevate more than one path to the 'semi-primordial level'.

There are even those who have begun to merge different 'semi-primordial level Daos', and there are also those who are able to tap into the power of world-class primordial bloodlines.

These beings are truly exceptional, and they are the ones who have the real opportunity to break free from the constraints and directly become advanced Chaos Origin Lifeforms, or even world-class Chaos Origin Lifeforms.

Lower-level Chaos Origin Lifeforms, such as the Thunder Ancestor and the Flame Wind Ancestor, are qualified to be hunted, but higher-level Chaos Origin Lifeforms represent a qualitative change.

Cultivators who haven't escaped their shackles may still die completely from soul corruption when they encounter higher-level primordial beings, even if their avatars are protected by the source world.

Compared to these beings, the Thunder Ancestor was merely an insignificant ordinary person standing in the corner.

"There are rumors in the Holy Realm that our cultivator camp has started a war with the naturally born chaotic life forms in the Beigu World Cluster. I wonder what the situation is now."

The Beigu World Cluster is also a world cluster for cultivating cultivators. It was created by predecessors such as Yuan at great cost.

The naturally formed chaotic life force enjoys devouring cultivators, but even more so, it devours worlds. Rumor has it that they have their eyes on the Beigu world group, and they have already launched a large-scale attack.

"Hopefully, those naturally born chaotic beings won't rampage across the Origin Continent." The Thunder Ancestor was also worried. There was nothing he could do.

In the clash between the two camps, the naturally born chaotic life forms generally had the upper hand. After all, the naturally born chaotic life forms were too large, so they didn't care if some of them died.

However, there are too few cultivators who can break free from their constraints. In terms of attrition warfare, the cultivator camp simply cannot afford to prolong the conflict.

……

The Thunder Ancestor emerged from this slumbering world and appeared on Thunder Mountain.

"Ok?"

The moment it appeared, the Thunder Ancestor immediately received some information reported by the monarchs.

"During my seclusion, a Reincarnation Ancestor appeared on the Origin Continent? He clashed with Di Qing and gained the upper hand with his Blood River of Life?"

The Thunder Ancestor was quite surprised. He knew Di Qing's strength. He was surprised that the other party could rise to prominence in such a short time and have the strength to confront Di Qing.

Is it possible?
Is it some reincarnated old monster?

As for the mysterious inheritance mentioned in the message, Thunder Ancestor was dismissive of it. What kind of inheritance could make an ordinary life become a God Emperor in such a short time?

In comparison, the Thunder Ancestor believed more that Yang Wu was the reincarnation of some old monster, and only those strong individuals possessed enough foundation to rise rapidly after reincarnation.

Thunder Mountain, an ancient palace.

"Ancestor..."

The nine monarchs of the Thunder Kingdom gathered together, all kneeling respectfully in the main hall below, while the Thunder Ancestor sat high on his throne, looking down upon these nine monarchs.

He and these monarchs were separated by several Origin World eras, so what feelings could they possibly have for each other?
Like the Yanfeng Ancestor, he cultivated clan merchants so that his clansmen could help him occupy more treasure lands and plunder more resources.

By simply providing a small amount of the resources needed by the God-Kings and some early-stage God Emperor treasures, it would be enough to inflict enormous debts on the races, which would then be used to collect more treasures.

of course……

If these races prove themselves and produce a genius like Di Qing, who becomes a God Emperor within another Origin World era, he wouldn't mind having a little more "affection".

"Ancestor, this Ancestor of Reincarnation is tyrannical, having killed two emperors of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom in succession." These monarchs all looked expectantly at the Thunder Ancestor.

“Yang Wu possesses strength surpassing that of a God-King. Even if I could suppress him, I still couldn’t do anything to him within the power limit of the Origin Continent.”

The Thunder Ancestor looked down and said, "Strength determines order. If you commit grave sins and are killed by the Reincarnation Ancestor, there's nothing I can do."

"Be more careful in the future."

"Are we just supposed to keep enduring this?" a figure in a golden robe asked anxiously.

Because of Yang Wu's strength, even if the other party did not target them, who were major sinners, no one dared to test his bottom line as a supreme expert was in the Origin Continent.

The previous emperor, Di Xi, was killed on the spot after someone broke into the capital because he revealed the other party's background.

With this precedent set, who would dare to provoke the Ancestor of Reincarnation? As a result, the entire Origin Continent has now fallen into an eerie calm.

Lords like Wind Punishment and Lord Blue have recently stopped reaping large numbers of living beings.

They were all somewhat anxious.

As the Origin Continent gradually enters its final stage, they will be leaving the Origin Continent to explore other worlds in the future. Therefore, they need to capture more living beings to nurture the Hunyuan bloodline.

Moreover, the entire Origin Continent will be destroyed in the future, and almost all living beings will die. In that case, what does it matter if we capture a few living beings?
