Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 229 New Clone, New Talent

Bai Yang's physical body instantly awoke.

He had been staying in the training room for a long time, always ready.

He stood up and made a slight cut on his hand with his sword, and a drop of blood appeared in the air.

Fractal Technique activated immediately!

The drop of blood quickly shrank, forming a primordial embryo, and began to absorb Bai Yang's spiritual power.

Bai Yang's mental energy was now extremely abundant, and he satisfied this need without any difficulty.

After a while, once it had absorbed its fill...

Bai Yang manipulated it and placed it into the bio-modulation chamber.

Then, all sorts of nutrient solutions were poured in as if they were free.

Perhaps due to its own body, this embryonic form grew at a faster rate than its previous spacetime clone.

Bai Yang soon felt that he had an extra body, and that clone had a faint consciousness.

A brand new Baiyang gradually took shape inside the preparation chamber.

Just a few minutes later, a "new" Bai Yang crawled out of the control chamber.

He changed into the prepared clothes and looked at his true form.

Two identical people, as if there were a mirror between them, gaze at each other.

"It feels really strange to see myself."

"That's true to some extent."

"How is it? Are all your abilities still there?"

"Everything is there, except for the [Light Body]."

Bai Yang nodded, as this was something he had expected.

Planetary-level talents are gifts from the universe.

Even with identical genes, the talents acquired will definitely be different.

Otherwise, planetary-level beings with powerful talents would have long been made into clones and kept for others to possess.

The threshold for planetary-level development is too low; it wouldn't be surprising if an entire industry chain were formed.

"So what is your current talent?"

"You and I feel the same way. Let's go outside and test it out in person to find out."

So the two Bai Yangs left the castle and flew to an area on the Martian surface that they now use specifically to test their ultimate moves.

The monster's clone stood on the field and immediately began to transform.

Soon a giant over a kilometer tall appeared on the field.

Bai Yang's research has made progress, and the monster's body can now break through the original 300-meter limit.

The black giant's body was covered in intertwined muscles, with the shapes of dragons and snakes everywhere.

The strange clone closed its eyes, and its entire body suddenly began to glow.

The main body stood at his feet, looking up, and could clearly see the changes in the clone.

The light emanating from this strange clone is completely different from that of a "light body".

Bai Yang felt that its quality seemed to be lacking compared to the former.

As the entire monster clone turned white, he suddenly shot into the sky at an incredible speed!

The entire process occurred without any warning, and the entity itself, which was right next to it, did not feel any shockwave.

Given the size of the monster's clone, this is actually impossible.

The clone floated in the air, not immediately descending, and after carefully sensing the surroundings.

It suddenly disappeared from the sky and returned to the ground, without making a sound throughout the entire process.

"How is it?"

"The new talent should be [Light Cone]."

With half of the body's consciousness residing on the virtual network, reactions are inevitably slower.

Star Guardian immediately sent him the relevant information.

Light Cone: A combat-oriented light-based law talent.

The winner can launch three consecutive light cone attacks in a short period of time.

Transform your entire body into a cone to attack the enemy.

"This talent relies entirely on the body's own attack power? It doesn't seem that strong."

"That's good enough; at least it can be considered an offensive talent. Most people's talents are just support talents with no auxiliary abilities whatsoever."

That will only make things worse.

And I discovered something.

Just as Bai Yang was about to ask a question, he suddenly had a strange feeling.

A thought came from his own clone, wanting to exchange something with him.

"Talent swapping!? Is that even possible?"

"The body and the soul are actually the same. Why can't we say that?"

The original body agreed, and he immediately felt that his [Light Body] talent had disappeared.

Instead, a new and unfamiliar talent emerged.

The strange clone opposite suddenly emitted light from its entire body, which was the unique light of the [Light Body].

The main body could sense the continuous flow of light-based laws of enlightenment emanating from the monster's clone.

"In the future, when faced with situations where continuous battles are unavoidable, the usage rate of the [Light Body] talent can be greatly increased."

Being able to have a clone allows one to maintain a state of perfect cultivation at all times.

Overall, Bai Yang was quite satisfied with the effect of the monster clone.

He transformed his clone back into his human form and returned to the castle's training room to begin cultivating with maximum efficiency.

The original body's entire consciousness returned to the Trial Tower.

The queen was still clutching her head, curled up on the ground in pain.

Bai Yang sat down cross-legged and began to devote himself to studying the laws of time, striving to make another breakthrough.

After ten days, we will proceed to the sixth trial tower.

In the central square, numerous immortals and contestants watched all of this.

He finally stopped.

"He's already locked into the top ten in the overall rankings, so whether he makes it or not doesn't matter anymore."

"Oh? You think he can still advance in the sixth tower?"

"That's certainly possible. The trial space has only been open for a little over two months, what's the rush?"

Many immortals expressed similar opinions, but none of them considered that Bai Yang might challenge Bolan's position.

All the contestants here are vying for second place, but Berlan is the undisputed number one.

This is the consensus of every immortal being.

-

In the distant Black Dragon Mountain Holy Land, Meng Huo and Wote looked at Bai Yang's latest rankings in silence.

"He actually managed to go this far!"

Walter was shocked, recalling how confident he had been when he first met him.

It was hard to avoid feeling skeptical.

"Yes, he did it."

The various factions that participated in that apprenticeship ceremony probably all made a fortune from the various betting games.

Meng Huo tapped a few fingers lightly on the table, deep in thought.

"Lord God, what have you done?"

Seeing his old friend like this, Walter felt that the other party might be up to something.

"I previously mortgaged the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield, all of which are outside the Milky Way."

"We gathered a total of 15000 Hunyuan units, betting on him to get into the top 100, and now we've succeeded."

Waters was suddenly speechless. Meng Huo had really gone all out!

"Sigh, I should have bet on the top ten; the odds would have been higher."

"What were the odds back then?" Walter asked.

"Around 1 to 300. Water, my brother, you're saved."

"What did you say?" Walter asked in surprise.

"I can afford the medicine that will save your life!"

Just now, I was thinking about how to repay Bai Yang.

Walter was utterly shocked.

Ten days passed very quickly, and Bai Yang dealt with the poor Queen Mother.

Finally, I stepped into the first floor of the sixth trial tower.

This is where Luo Feng failed; he was originally one of the last contestants to finish the competition and ranked third overall.

But now that Bai Yang has arrived, what changes will occur?
