Devouring the Stars: Withdrawing Talents

Hunyuan Space, Yuantian Sacred Realm.

Surrounded by thirty-six desolate island continents, the most dangerous place in the entire Yuantian Sacred Realm is the abyssal giant mountain at its very center.

The surrounding desolate island continents, which serve as protective barriers, seal off the entire Yuantian Sacred Realm. The giant abyss mountain in the center is also the energy hub of the entire world, capable of drawing together vast primordial energy from the outside world.

A special formation gathers this primordial energy within the Abyss Mountains, allowing the lower-level primordial life forms to have enough energy to absorb and survive in the long term.

The number of low-level Chaos Origin life forms in the Central Abyss Mountains is countless, and no one knows exactly how many low-level Chaos Origin life forms were thrown into it.

Cultivators hunt down lower-level Chaos Origin beings, and these lower-level Chaos Origin beings also hunt down cultivators.

Lower-level Chaos Origin Lifeforms, after all, are born to break free from their cages and possess many special talents; their strength is generally at the God Emperor stage.

Even the weakest low-level Chaos Origin lifeforms possess the combat strength of an early-stage God Emperor, while the strongest can reach the combat strength of a perfect God Emperor.

Moreover, not only are the life force of the Hunyuan life form strong, but their physical bodies are also strong. It is generally only possible for a God Emperor in the early stage of enlightenment to kill the weakest low-level Hunyuan life form.

Just like among cultivators, there are some with extremely strong abilities, far surpassing those at the same level.

Among the lower-level Chaos Origin beings at the God Emperor Perfection level, there are a very few who are extremely dazzling. Their strength far surpasses that of their peers, and in the Yuantian Sacred Realm, they are called "Transcendent Level".

In some powerful holy realms, low-level Chaos Origin life forms of the transcendent level are very common, including all sorts of strange, powerful, and even special and rare species.

Lower-level primordial life forms at this level have the opportunity to break through the constraints and reach the level of higher-level primordial life forms.

……

Yuantian Sacred Realm, Tianyun City.

This is a massive city that resembles a fortress, with numerous colorful arrays operating above it, providing layer upon layer of protection and ensuring the city's safety.

Tianyun City is one of the thirty-six deserted island continents. It is the central city of the Tianyun Island continent, and almost all the cultivators in the Holy Realm gather in the central city.

The majority of cultivators in the city are below the God Emperor level, numbering in the hundreds of millions, while there are also millions of God Emperor-level cultivators.

Generally speaking, for those in the lineage of those who comprehend the complete Great Dao, becoming a God Emperor is not particularly difficult.

Those who rely on the Hunyuan bloodline may seem to grow easily, but the height of their growth depends on their bloodline. If the Hunyuan bloodline is not strong enough, they may be stuck at the ultimate level of God King.

The vast majority of the entire Yuantian Sacred Realm is the territory of low-level Chaos Origin life forms. Cultivators can only rely on the cities built on the desolate island continent and hunt around the cities.

If things go wrong, they can escape back into the city at any time.

Each of the central cities in the Sacred Realm of Yuantian is a vast city of secret treasures, which are controlled by powerful city lords and jointly managed by many palace masters, ensuring extremely high security.

Even if the lower-level Chaos Origin beings are strong, they will find it difficult to breach the city from the front. Only by joining forces from within and without can they hope to break through.

However, each time a city was breached, it brought terrible devastation to that city.

The fact that Lord Yuan and others established the Yuantian Sacred Realm, a place to hone future generations, already shows a strong bias towards cultivators in all aspects of its arrangements.

If this happens, and all the cultivators' cities are breached, then it can only be attributed to the cultivators' own incompetence.

……

Rumble~~~
The cultivators in Tianyun City entered and left the city as usual, either by flying boats or using their physical bodies to fly. Everything was as normal as ever.

suddenly.

The clouds in the sky above the entire city rapidly descended and became a dark, oppressive mass. The transformation from clear skies to a dark, oppressive mass happened in almost an instant.

Rolling black clouds covered the entire Yuantian Sacred Realm, and terrifying power accumulated above. The strength of this power caused countless cultivators throughout the Sacred Realm to change their expressions drastically.

"What's going on?" "This power?"

"What on earth happened?"

The commotion was so great that, apart from a few who had secluded themselves in seclusion, most of them quickly came out to look at the sky. Seeing the power accumulating in the rolling black clouds, they couldn't help but feel terrified.

They could all sense that the accumulated power was so strong that it could turn them into dust in an instant.

This is a terrifying force that cannot be resisted.

"Gentlemen, do you know what has happened?"

"The sky above our Tianxing City is filled with rolling black clouds. The accumulated power is terrifying. These black clouds are so vast that you can't see the end of them at a glance."

"Our Tianyu City is the same; the sky above is filled with dark clouds."

Every deserted island continent has a central city, where the most powerful cultivators of the continent gather. These top experts communicate with each other using communication tokens.

They instantly realized that this black cloud, brimming with terrifying power, covered the entire Holy Realm.

……

Tianyun City.

At this moment, tens of thousands of figures flew into the air, looking at the dark clouds in the sky, each one filled with doubt and awe.

Among them were two figures: the Thunder Ancestor and the Flame Wind Ancestor.

"What happened?"

The Thunder Ancestor stared in shock at the dark clouds in the sky. The two had just been exchanging insights on the Great Dao in the cave when they were startled awake by the sudden appearance of the dark clouds.

The terrifying power accumulated by those dark clouds would be enough to easily annihilate him if it were to fall even slightly.

of course……

What's here is merely an avatar of his, and the Yanfeng Ancestor beside him is also just an avatar.

"Let's take a look first!"

"This dark cloud is too strange. If things don't look right, abandon this clone immediately!"

Ancestor Yanfeng's expression was solemn. Even though abandoning this clone would mean losing the accumulation of countless years in this world, it was necessary for safety.

Although their focus is on the Dark Holy Realm, it doesn't mean they won't go to other cultivation holy realms to develop.

The Dark Holy Realm is, after all, one of the most powerful cultivation holy realms, gathering the strongest cultivators from countless worlds, and a number of them possess dazzling talents.

Even more so, there are quite a few powerful individuals in the Dark Holy Realm who are qualified to receive treasures worth more than ten reward points from the Infinite Space Treasury.

Although the two progenitors made some progress during their long years in the Dark Holy Realm, it was still nothing.

As for the powerful beings who come from the Origin World, they usually have clones in their home Origin World. When they venture out into the outside world, it is usually the clones that die in battle and the treasures that are lost.

What is there to fear except for advanced primordial life forms?
Only those beings who have broken free from the confines of the cage can corrupt their souls and cause them to die across the source world.

However, the dark clouds that shrouded the entire Holy Realm made the Ancestor Yanfeng feel deeply uneasy.

He was able to survive and cultivate to the point of becoming a late-stage God Emperor, thanks in part to his intuition, which saved him several times. Right now, his intuition is giving him frantic warnings.
