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

Chapter 273 Favored by the Laws of Light

"My detector was on the whole time we were running away."

"Deep underground here, I discovered many high-energy reactions, which felt like the remains of some kind of organism."

"You mean the remains or even fossils of the dragon race?" Bai Yang suddenly realized.

"It should be, or it's something similar."

Isn't this planet incredibly ancient? I guess it was left behind by those ancient dragons.

Bai Yang immediately became excited. Xing Shou was right!

"Star Guardian, can you show me the way? Let's go take a look."

The smart computer on his arm instantly projected a map onto the rock wall that had been temporarily dug out of the soil.

The star guard marked many different markers on it, all of which she had detected along the way.

Bai Yang took a closer look. The locations of these markings didn't seem to follow any pattern; they were all places he had just passed by.

It's not difficult to find, and the distance isn't too far.

He randomly selected the nearest marker and used his spacetime clone to slowly burrow towards that location.

For safety reasons, he moved very gently and slowly.

The underground section, which was five or six kilometers long, took more than ten minutes to reach its destination.

"arrive!"

Upon hearing Xing Shou's prompt, Bai Yang used his mental power to scan his surroundings.

A huge biological skeleton, with a grayish-white frame, was currently positioned above his head.

Its overall structure is very well preserved, with no signs of injury or broken bones, as if it had died of old age.

It has three horns on its head and its four limbs resemble those of a bull.

Although it was different from the dragons he had seen before, it was clearly a real dragon.

Because Bai Yang hadn't sensed it before, but as soon as he got within three meters of it, that strange feeling of being devoured reappeared.

"I can sense even the dead dragons, so it seems the problem is mostly not with their souls, but rather with their physical bodies."

Bai Yang is now using a spacetime clone to move around, which further increases his safety.

He pressed his fingers lightly against the grayish-white bones.

The sensation transmitted through his fingertips immediately told him that this thing was incredibly hard.

With a thought, Bai Yang unleashed his spiritual power, instantly clearing away all the soil and gravel around the skeleton.

Create a temporary underground cave out of thin air.

The nearly kilometer-long skeleton was placed in the center.

The quantum computer on his arm emitted a red light, shining it back and forth three times to scan the entire skeleton.

"At least the strength of Grade E metal. This dragon was most likely at the level of a World Lord before it appeared."

Star Guardian quickly provided an answer.

"So he really is a realm lord? That makes sense, there are no immortal dragons on the surface of this planet."

It's not surprising that the strongest surviving corpse belongs to a realm lord.

The key question is, how am I supposed to absorb this stuff?

This is the hardness of Grade E metal.

This problem stumped Bai Yang; this thing was just too hard!

He attacked with all his might, and after several attempts, he was able to cut off some powder.

But whether it can be digested after actually eating it is still unknown.

Since it was safe here for the time being, Bai Yang decided to stay here.

He had Star Guardian connect to the virtual universe to search for information on various digestive fluids.

They quickly found a reagent that could slowly melt bone powder of this hardness and then allow it to be absorbed.

Bai Yang had already prepared all sorts of supplies in his world ring for the secret realm mission.

He then used his own body to personally prepare the liquid, spending several hours to successfully create a bright blue liquid in a test tube.

Then, he mixed some bone meal that he had prepared in advance with the liquid and drank it directly.

Afterward, he sat cross-legged and felt the changes within his body.

For a full 20 minutes, he kept his eyes closed and remained completely still.

Suddenly, his body emitted a green light.

Bai Yang suddenly opened his eyes and scratched his palm with his fingernail.

The wound on my palm, before it had bled much, began to heal instantly and returned to normal.

"Success! The Law of Wood favors us!"

In what just happened, he didn't use his freak physique, nor did he use the self-healing power of a cosmic-level powerhouse.

He didn't bother to comprehend the Law of Wood; everything was simply the profound meaning of "vitality" within the law, the most basic inherent characteristic.

Bai Yang was excited; the facts proved that this approach would work.

I can truly gain the ability to comprehend all the laws at the level of "Blessing"!

He stored the entire skeleton in the World Ring; it might be useful for future research.

Dragon Tower Star is a true treasure to him!

Although his ability to sense the dragon race had unknowingly become stronger.

But it's totally worth it!

The spacetime clone returned to the outside world, while the other bodies entered the world ring.

He hurried toward the next marked location.

Before Xing Shou arrived, he had found nearly a hundred locations.

During his investigation, Bai Yang discovered that about two-thirds of the skeletons were those of dragons.

Those who can reach the level of a World Lord and receive some kind of favor from the laws are even fewer in number.

Fortunately, there aren't many types of laws in total.

Even if he moves slowly, it will be two days later.

He has already acquired all the abilities favored by the lower laws.

Inside the World Ring, Bai Yang's true form and the monster's clone sat facing each other on the ground.

The environment inside the ring is mostly just an empty space.

Bai Yang specially filled it with a large amount of water, creating a small lake inside.

At this moment, the two figures sat by the lake, and the entire lake surface was illuminated by the powerful light emanating from their bodies, turning it into a white-gold color.

Fifteen minutes later, the light emanating from Bai Yang's true form gradually faded.

The two bodies opened their eyes at the same time, looked at each other and smiled.

"With the blessing of the Light Laws and the combination of the [Light Body], I have truly reached another level of comprehension. I should be considered a [darling] of the laws, right?"

From then on, comprehending the laws of light truly became as easy as Luo Feng comprehending the laws of metal—he could do it while lying down and sleeping.

"It's a pity that we haven't found the abilities of the two higher laws yet." The strange clone looked somewhat regretful.

Bai Yang himself was not disappointed, and said:

"Since it's a higher-level rule, it's normal for it to be a little rare."

I've only been here for less than four days, and I've already achieved quite a lot.

Once you acquire these two abilities, combine them with the [Space-Time Domain] of the Space-Time Clone.

They should also be able to gain insights approaching the level of a [Favored Child of the Laws].

After Bai Yang finished speaking, he sensed the situation outside again.

A celestial-level mechanical puppet is holding a spirit gauge and moving underground in the direction of a certain pointer.

It is controlled by a trace of Bai Yang's will, and the spiritual energy contains some bone powder, which can help point out the location of similar objects.

Bai Yang's main body only needs to replenish its spiritual energy periodically.

The spacetime clone is now over thirty kilometers long, but it's still not as convenient to move as a humanoid mechanical puppet.

Suddenly, chaos erupted at the spiritual energy meter, revealing a large number of dragon skeletons in front of it!

Bai Yang immediately became alert.
