Devouring the Stars: Withdrawing Talents

The Sacred Realm of Yuantian, Tianfeng City.

"Hahaha……."

A thunderous laugh echoed through the heavens and earth, and the nine-headed serpent descended outside Tianfeng City. Its size was enormous, and its gaze pierced through the clouds, looking down upon the cultivators within the city.

Around Tianfeng City, the numerous Hunyuan beings who had already arrived bowed their heads before the nine-headed serpent, showing their submission to this higher life form.

And at this moment, even more Hunyuan beings are rushing here from all directions.

"Humph."

"Didn't you want me to hone these weak ants? I will do as you wish and kill all of these little ants."

The nine-headed serpent was filled with murderous intent, and its body rapidly changed, its size increasing dramatically.

Ten thousand miles high, a hundred thousand miles high... The body was rapidly expanding and growing larger, strange light blue runes appeared on the skin, and the whole world was trembling.

At the same time, the power of the entire cultivation holy realm surged wildly into its body.

Strictly speaking, it was the body of this nine-headed serpent that was frantically absorbing the power of the surrounding world. Even though the cultivation holy realm suppressed it, it was still able to forcibly absorb it.

Furthermore, the surrounding rules began to change. The existence of the Nine-Headed Serpent was like the arrival of a world, and it itself was the source of the world.

"What, what happened?"

"This……"

All the practitioners were dumbfounded and felt a chill run down their spines.

The nine-headed, bizarre serpent's body was growing rapidly, and its existence was affecting the surrounding rules. The entire Tianfeng City was within the scope of these rules, and the cultivators couldn't help but feel a sense of submission.

This is a primal, instinctive reaction; the gap between the two sides is so vast that it evokes despair.

"Chi chi chi~~~"

Suddenly, the surrounding void seemed unable to withstand the pressure and began to shatter, revealing countless secret-patterned chains behind the membrane.

Countless secret-patterned chains firmly sealed the entire cultivation holy realm, and the rule changes caused by the nine-headed serpent were in conflict with the rules of the cultivation holy realm.

"This, this is a high-level Chaos Origin life form, and not just any ordinary high-level Chaos Origin life form. Ordinary high-level Chaos Origin life forms would never be this strong in the cultivation holy world."

The Lord of Tianfeng City trembled upon seeing this scene. The strength of a high-level Hunyuan life form would gradually increase from the initial stage of high-level Hunyuan life form until it reached perfection.

Then, one must break through to the world-class Chaos Origin Life form. However, the breakthrough from a high-level Chaos Origin Life form to a world-class Chaos Origin Life form is equally difficult, even more so than the breakthrough from an ordinary Chaos Origin Life form to a high-level Chaos Origin Life form.

"Oh no, this is a big problem, let's get out of here right now."

The cultivators in the city, especially those with methods to escape and save their lives, immediately wanted to leave this sacred cultivation realm.

Those with great power in the cultivation world generally place great importance on items that can protect their lives.

Especially those world-class powerhouses who have no clones, spare no expense when it comes to life-saving items. The cheapest of these life-saving items costs millions of Chaos Origin Crystals.

And going higher, there's no upper limit.

Some naturally occurring treasures, or life-saving treasures exchanged from the Infinite Space Treasury, are even more valuable.

hum~
One by one, they activated their life-saving techniques, trying to leave the Yuantian Sacred Realm. However, as soon as they activated their techniques, the surrounding rules forcibly suppressed them, directly causing them to fail.

"Ok?"

The nine-headed serpent undergoing its transformation looked over from afar, and many cultivators were startled, not daring to be distracted or think too much. They immediately calmed their minds to prevent their minds from being corrupted by it.

Otherwise, once the mind is polluted, only by breaking through the limits of the mind and will, and reaching a higher state of primordial chaos, can it be cleansed.

Although for God Emperors, as their cultivation level deepens, their mental will gradually reaches a limit, how can they break through to the next level?

That requires the mind and will to break free from their constraints and reach a level comparable to that of a higher, primordial life form.

This breakthrough in my mind was more difficult than any previous breakthrough in overcoming a bottleneck.

……

"presumptuous!"

Suddenly, a furious roar resounded throughout the entire cultivation realm. The phantom of an incomparably majestic, tall, and thin man in black robes appeared in mid-air.

He glared at the nine-headed monster serpent, only to see the countless chains that had seeped into its body begin to erupt.

Boom~
Countless golden lights shone, and the power soared to its limit. The chains frantically suppressed the nine-headed serpent, preventing it from growing any larger and forcing it to begin shrinking.

"It's the spirit of the artifact!"

The cultivators below recognized the tall, thin man in black robes as the spirit of the Reception Hall. All cultivators who came to the Yuantian Sacred Realm passed through the Reception Hall.

As they watched the strange giant snake shrink, they couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

"Even a spirit of an artifact wants to suppress me."

The nine-headed serpent was gritting its teeth and roaring. It tried its best to resist, but its body was still forced to shrink and lower. These were some of the magic arrays that Lord Hunyuan had set up to suppress the Hunyuan prisoners. Now they were all activated.

When Lord Hunyuan built this sacred realm of cultivation, he specifically set up a suppression array to deal with the sudden appearance of advanced Hunyuan life forms.

"Buzz buzz~~~"

Outside the membrane of the entire cultivation holy realm, countless secret-patterned chains were bursting with light and frantically absorbing the surrounding primordial power, unleashing their full power.

The massive magic array activated, suppressing the nine-headed serpent with all its might.

The nine-headed serpent was forced to shrink, until it finally stopped when it reached a height of a thousand miles.

"what?"

The tall, thin man in the black robe was taken aback.

He was ultimately just a spirit of a weapon. Even after mobilizing the power of the magic array to its limit, he could only suppress his opponent to a height of a thousand miles.

However, it can still maintain an altitude of one thousand miles against the ultimate power of the magic array.

The nine-headed serpent's body is filled with boundless power, and its every move is many times stronger than that of the Transcendent level.

"Roar... What other tricks do you have up your sleeve?" The nine-headed serpent looked at the tall, thin man in black robes and let out a triumphant roar.

"A world that is for ants to hone themselves cannot be guarded by a high-level Hunyuan expert for long. How can you, a mere artifact spirit, stop me?"

The tall, thin man in black robes felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. Was this the long-term presence of a high-level Hunyuan expert's avatar?
how can that be!

A Hunyuan expert is essentially a world unto themselves. No Hunyuan expert would create an extra clone, since each clone would weaken their strength.

Even when waging war against other countries, usually only the strongest main clone goes into battle, while at most a weaker clone is left in its own source world.

Therefore, for a powerful being of the Hunyuan realm, their important clones are usually stationed in important places, so how could they possibly be in this sacred cultivation world where the little guy is being tempered?

Moreover, with the war in the Beigu World Cluster now in dire straits, the high-level Hunyuan experts who were originally the closest to the Yuantian Sacred Realm have left, leaving this cultivation sacred realm with no one to come to its rescue.
