Swallowed Star: Copy God

The environment of the Purgatory Abyss was completely different from the outside world, making Ye Yun particularly sensitive to the flow of energy and aura here, especially after entering the deeper second level of the abyss space, this feeling became even stronger.

Just like the Purgatory Beasts' instinctive perception of outsiders like Ye Yun, Ye Yun waited quietly in place for a few minutes, when suddenly his heart stirred, and he looked to his left front, where a strange reptilian Purgatory Beast with wings on its back was rushing towards him with a heavy imposing manner.

Clusters of frantically raging 'Purgatory Winds' and 'Purgatory Fires' enveloped the winged Purgatory Beast, adding infinite power to it. As the winged Purgatory Beast advanced, the entire Purgatory Abyss seemed to be imbuing its own will upon it, making this winged Purgatory Beast seem to have become the master of the abyss, possessing an extremely strong sense of oppression.

'Aura energy fluctuations comparable to those of a top-tier Domain Lord powerhouse'

Ye Yun's mind was as clear as a mirror, and in an instant, he discerned the approximate strength and realm of the winged Purgatory Beast.

Although the distribution of Purgatory Beasts in each level of the Purgatory Abyss was very chaotic, and the strength fluctuations were relatively large, there were still some general rules to follow.

The first to third levels of the Purgatory Abyss were considered relatively safe space areas. If it was during a relatively calm period in the Purgatory Abyss, and one was careful and cautious, most of the core members of the Virtual Universe Company would have a chance to survive, and relatively speaking, it was not that difficult.

Although the strength of the Purgatory Beasts in these first three levels would increase level by level, it would not exceed the limit of the Domain Lord level, and would not reach the level of a World Lord, so most core members could cope.

Ye Yun calculated in his heart, but his movements were not slow at all. Before the winged Purgatory Beast could reach him, he flew up and rushed towards the winged Purgatory Beast.

As the two sides approached, Ye Yun let out a low shout, and the powerful comprehension of the Law of Time Origin and the Law of Space Origin burst out without reservation. In an instant, the space-time in front of Ye Yun was greatly affected.

Ye Yun himself did not change in any way, but the winged Purgatory Beast seemed to have been put on 0.005x slow motion. Not only did its own movements become extremely slow, but the flashing wings could hardly be seen flapping, and even the surge of 'Purgatory Winds' and 'Purgatory Fires' on its body became extremely slow, completely turning into a strange space-time different from the surroundings.

This winged Purgatory Beast was originally surrounded by an extremely strong special field of the Purgatory Abyss, which was a major symbol of its strength comparable to that of a Domain Lord level powerhouse. Compared to the Purgatory Beasts on the first level, the unique field of this winged Purgatory Beast even carried a trace of special mystery sufficient to resist the power of external laws, which only existed in the special environment of the Purgatory Abyss, the 'Purgatory Law!'

According to the Virtual Universe Company's intelligence, the Purgatory Abyss was a natural and strange place born in the Primitive Secret Realm. Although it would not shield the perception and application of the Ten Great Origin Laws here, the Purgatory Beasts born within the Purgatory Abyss could not possibly comprehend and apply the power of the Ten Great Origin Laws of the universe.

However, there was always a trade-off. The Purgatory Beasts in the Purgatory Abyss could resist external powerhouses of equal strength. Although they could not use the power of the Ten Great Origin Laws of the universe, they could combine the special environment of the Purgatory Abyss to nurture and master a special method similar to the power of law, which was called the 'Purgatory Law' by the Virtual Universe Company.

It was precisely because of the existence of the 'Purgatory Law' that the Purgatory Beasts of each level, with the blessing of the Purgatory Abyss, could use the 'Purgatory Law' to resist the power of external powerhouses' laws. Otherwise, they would only have energy intensity, and would just be paper tigers.

But at this moment, this winged Purgatory Beast, which had mastered a trace of the 'Purgatory Law', was easily manipulated by Ye Yun like a child. The field it possessed, which had been strengthened by the 'Purgatory Law', was even directly shattered, completely unable to resist the power of Ye Yun's space-time stagnation.

Ye Yun maintained the effect of space-time stagnation, and flipped over to step on the broad back of the winged Purgatory Beast. The 'Purgatory Winds' that were originally whistling on its back and the 'Purgatory Fires' that were burning fiercely were completely extinguished under Ye Yun's step.

Then, Ye Yun's eyes flashed with golden light, scanning the sea of consciousness memory of the winged Purgatory Beast.

The winged Purgatory Beast had been born in this second level of the Purgatory Abyss for countless years. The thoughts of killing and tyranny occupied most of the space in its sea of consciousness. However, Ye Yun was experienced and accurately screened the memories of the terrain and environment of this second level of the Purgatory Abyss from the vast, chaotic, and disordered memories.

After a while, Ye Yun finally obtained the information he wanted. Taking the stone tower he entered as a reference, he located the other stone tower on the second level of the Purgatory Abyss that led to the third level of the abyss space.

Ye Yun retracted his scanning gaze, and infinite spiritual power surged, recklessly rushing into the sea of consciousness of the winged Purgatory Beast. As soon as the consciousness of the spiritual power entered the sea of consciousness of the winged Purgatory Beast, Ye Yun immediately felt an extremely strong sense of rejection and impact. This was the winged Purgatory Beast's instinctive resistance.

However, Ye Yun's expression did not change. The Immortal-level will intensity suddenly burst out, blessing his own spiritual power and consciousness. Immediately, the resistance of the winged Purgatory Beast instantly weakened. Although the winged Purgatory Beast constantly called out to attract the help of the Purgatory Abyss, it was of no use. In an instant, Ye Yun's consciousness directly rushed into the depths of the winged Purgatory Beast's sea of consciousness.

In the depths of the winged Purgatory Beast's sea of consciousness, there was a rhombus-shaped crystal emitting a dark light, which was the soul energy core unique to the Purgatory Beast. Ye Yun's simple will impact almost shattered the winged Purgatory Beast's tenacious resistance, and the entire soul energy core instantly became unconscious and without resistance.

Ye Yun manipulated the spiritual power that had penetrated into it, transforming it at least tens of thousands of times in one second, and finally combined it into a delicate and mysterious pattern, which was fiercely imprinted on the winged Purgatory Beast's soul energy core.

In the next moment, the winged Purgatory Beast, whose consciousness had been scattered by Ye Yun's will impact, suddenly opened its eyes. At this time, in its eyes, no cruelty, killing, or bloodthirsty emotions could be seen at all. What replaced them was an extreme coldness and surrender, as if it had completely changed its soul.

In the process of invading the winged Purgatory Beast's sea of consciousness just now, Ye Yun used the soul manipulation secret technique of spiritual power to forcibly turn this winged Purgatory Beast into his own slave!

Ye Yun was probably the only one who dared to do this in the Purgatory Abyss.

You must know that even illusion masters who also specialized in soul spiritual power would not dare to enslave the Purgatory Beasts in the Purgatory Abyss, because once the spiritual power entered the Purgatory Beast's sea of consciousness, it would first be resisted by a strong, chaotic, and tyrannical aura. This step would consume a lot of energy.

Then, the chaotic thoughts belonging to the Purgatory Beast would also desperately launch an impact. In addition, with the will of the Purgatory Abyss blessing them, the spiritual illusion attacks they launched had a great chance of suffering a backlash. Not only would they not be able to attack effectively, but they would also be seriously injured and fall into crisis instead.

In this case, only an extremely strong will could suppress the impact and resistance of the unique will of the Purgatory Abyss and successfully use the spiritual soul secret technique.

After completing the enslavement of the winged Purgatory Beast, Ye Yun leaned forward slightly, patted the winged Purgatory Beast's head, and said with a low laugh,

"Go, to the stone tower!"

The winged Purgatory Beast immediately let out a long roar upon hearing this, and made a spin in mid-air, adjusted its direction, and flew towards the location of the second stone tower according to Ye Yun's instructions.

At this time, Ye Yun's whole body aura also changed instantly, becoming indistinguishable from the winged Purgatory Beast under him. Even with the convenience of manipulating the winged Purgatory Beast, coupled with his own aura that was integrated with the Purgatory Abyss, Ye Yun seemed to be able to faintly sense the existence of the will of the Purgatory Abyss.

As Ye Yun's heart moved, the abyss field around the winged Purgatory Beast that had been broken by Ye Yun quickly recovered. The 'Purgatory Law' that had been 'disconnected' before also re-entered the field, strengthening the intensity and power of the field.

At this time, Ye Yun perfectly copied the aura of the winged Purgatory Beast, and in this Purgatory field, he did not feel the slightest discomfort. Not only was there no sense of oppression, but he felt a burst of pleasure. Even the 'Purgatory Winds' that were blowing again and the 'Purgatory Fires' that were burning did not harm Ye Yun in the slightest!

After thinking for a while, Ye Yun combined the information he had mastered and came to a rough guess and conclusion.

Ye Yun discovered that the attention and blessing of the will of the Purgatory Abyss seemed to have a great relationship with the aura he exuded. It was precisely because of this completely copied abyss aura that the Purgatory Abyss regarded him as one of its original members, so naturally there would be no rejection.

Moreover, as he entered the second level of the Purgatory Abyss, Ye Yun's feeling was also deeper than when he was on the first level. The abyss aura and the will of the abyss on the first level seemed relatively weak, while the second level was obviously much deeper, so that Ye Yun was already able to faintly sense a certain blessing brought by the Purgatory Abyss when his own aura changed.

Ye Yun even suspected that if he went down level by level, would he be able to comprehend the 'Purgatory Law' unique to the Purgatory Abyss?

However, Ye Yun knew that these were just his own guesses. They had not been confirmed, and he did not know whether the specific situation was like this. He could only draw one-sided conclusions based on the partial information he had in hand.

‘If things are really as I guessed, then in this Purgatory Abyss, I have a huge advantage that no one else has. If the environment and Purgatory Beasts of the Purgatory Abyss are all fooled by me, then by gradually comprehending the Purgatory Abyss, maybe I can really touch the deep secrets belonging to this Purgatory Abyss.’

Ye Yun was bold and meticulous. He had incredibly rich experience. While maintaining a calm heart, he wouldn't let go of any possible opportunities. This unique mission world of the Purgatory Abyss had existed for countless years. Many genius disciples had explored it, but so far, no one had truly understood the opportunities and secrets contained within the Purgatory Abyss.

The Purgatory Abyss has a harsh environment, inherently containing extreme danger, coupled with the threat of Purgatory Beasts whose strength increases in stages, making the genius disciples who delve into it focus solely on the mission, without any other energy or time to explore the secrets of the Purgatory Abyss.

However, the current Ye Yun has an advantage that no one else has. The Demon Killing Clan's talent secret technique of replicating aura allows him to move freely in the Purgatory Abyss, and his powerful will makes him unafraid of the constant erosion of the Purgatory Abyss. Within the ten-year mission time in the Purgatory Abyss, Ye Yun has the possibility and ability to explore further.

At this time, Ye Yun couldn't help but think of Luo Feng in the original story. Luo Feng was originally preparing to accept the Purgatory Abyss mission after completing the extreme-level mission in the Misty Star System, but Hong's sudden incident affected Luo Feng's plan.

In addition, stimulated by Krov's death in the mission world, Luo Feng woke up and no longer insisted on trying the various extreme-level missions, directly breaking through to the Domain Lord level, and actively giving up the various benefits and conveniences of a Cosmic-level core member.

But now that he had truly entered the Purgatory Abyss, Ye Yun understood that even if Luo Feng really entered the Purgatory Abyss, he would not have any danger of falling into it. Luo Feng's Demon Killing Clan clone was a World Lord-level existence, even more relaxed and free in this Purgatory Abyss than Ye Yun.

Moreover, Ye Yun suspected that if Luo Feng chose to enter the Purgatory Abyss, then it was very likely that the ultimate opportunity of this Purgatory Abyss would also be obtained by Luo Feng, and the extreme danger would instead become a stepping stone for Luo Feng's progress.

There was no way around it, the protagonist blessed by fate was just so unreasonable.

Ye Yun stood on the back of the Double-Winged Purgatory Beast, a smile appearing on his face, then he shook his head, throwing away some of his chaotic thoughts, and focused on his current environment and mission.

The Double-Winged Purgatory Beast, blessed by the Purgatory Abyss, flew extremely fast. During its extreme flight, not much time passed before Ye Yun saw the faint shadow of the stone tower ahead.

There seemed to be unique rules around the stone tower. Here, Ye Yun couldn't see the figures of Purgatory Beasts at all, as if it were a forbidden area for many Purgatory Beasts.

The Double-Winged Purgatory Beast under Ye Yun's feet, when approaching the vicinity of the stone tower, involuntarily trembled all over, a sense of extreme fear conveyed to Ye Yun from the depths of its soul, and its flying speed also slowed down, daring not approach the stone tower not far away.

However, the Double-Winged Purgatory Beast had no autonomy at this time. Under Ye Yun's strong control, the Double-Winged Purgatory Beast flapped its wings and directly landed on the small platform on the top floor of the stone tower.

Although this second-level stone tower was one level higher than the first-level stone tower, the small platform on the top floor was also slightly larger, reaching a diameter of three meters.

Ye Yun fell from the back of the Double-Winged Purgatory Beast. The entire body of the Double-Winged Purgatory Beast was prostrate on the ground, its two wings retracted behind it, directly retreating to the edge of the platform, daring not touch the magic array secret patterns carved on the platform.

Ye Yun observed slightly and found that the secret magic array patterns carved on this platform were obviously more complex and numerous than those on the first-level stone tower, and the application of the spatial origin laws seemed to be more profound. The range of the secret patterns still covered the entire platform, and neither the quantity nor the area could be compared with the first-level stone tower.

And these magic array secret patterns were still intertwined layer upon layer, just like on the first-level stone tower, but the number of nodes intertwined had reached fifteen, five more than the first-level stone tower.

Having the experience of the first level, Ye Yun understood the meaning of these fifteen nodes. Obviously, fifteen 'Abyss Stones' from the second level of the Purgatory Abyss were needed to be put into the grooves at the nodes as energy to start the magic array and maintain its operation.

The stone tower magic array from the first level of the Purgatory Abyss to the second level only needed ten 'Abyss Stones' produced by the first-level Purgatory Beasts as energy, while this stone tower magic array from the second level to the third level had a full five more in number, and they were also higher-level 'Abyss Stones'.

Ye Yun knew that the number of 'Abyss Stones' required to enter each subsequent level would increase, which meant that the difficulty of entering each level was constantly skyrocketing. Even Ye Yun had to sigh at the perversion of the Purgatory Abyss, which was simply a nightmare for countless genius elites.

After checking the completeness of the magic array, Ye Yun flipped his right hand, and a black 'Abyss Stone' appeared in his hand.

This 'Abyss Stone' had more majestic energy than those on the first level, and there was also a trace of the 'Purgatory Law' surging within it. Two special marks were clearly carved on it, which were the 'Abyss Stones' of the second level of the Purgatory Abyss.

On the way riding the Double-Winged Purgatory Beast, Ye Yun encountered a lone Purgatory Beast and easily killed it, obtaining this 'Abyss Stone'.

This was actually the only second-level 'Abyss Stone' in Ye Yun's hand, but Ye Yun naturally had his own plans for coming directly to this stone tower.

Ye Yun stared at the 'Abyss Stone' crystal floating in the air. After a moment, he replicated it into his sea of consciousness, turning it into a small miniature 'Abyss Stone' model.

His consciousness touched this miniature model, and Ye Yun stretched out his right hand. Suddenly, the Purgatory Abyss energy surging around frantically gathered towards Ye Yun's palm. In just a few seconds, a brand new black crystal appeared out of thin air above Ye Yun's palm!

The situation that happened at this time made Ye Yun a little stunned. He didn't expect the manifestation process in this Purgatory Abyss to be so fast, completely exceeding his experience and expectations.

It should be known that Ye Yun's replication manifestation requires energy consumption, and the higher the level of the item, the more energy it needs to consume.

There are no requirements for the type of energy required for manifestation. As long as it is energy, it is fine. The cosmic energy that is ubiquitous in the universe can naturally also be used.

In the spacetime where the original universe was located before, everything had entered a mature stage. Not only were the laws extremely stable and secretive, but even the cosmic energy that permeated the universe had become extremely gentle and peaceful. The advantage was that there was no burden to absorb it, but for Ye Yun, the disadvantage was that the speed of gathering energy was very slow, and it had long been unable to support him in manifesting some high-level items.

Therefore, when Ye Yun usually performs the manifestation process, he will prepare a large number of energy crystal blocks in advance, so that he can provide a huge amount of energy supply in a short time, so that his manifestation process can be greatly shortened, reducing the burden and pressure on his own spirit.

But now, the special energy in the Purgatory Abyss is showing up incomparably crazy, just like a traveler running in the desert seeing an oasis lake, pouring in desperately, without any need for Ye Yun's spiritual support and guidance, the manifestation process is incomparably swift and smooth.

The Purgatory Abyss is also filled with endless cosmic energy, but this cosmic energy cannot be absorbed because of the chaotic aura it contains. Ye Yun originally just tried it according to the guess in his heart, but he did not expect to get such a shocking result.

‘The energy of the Purgatory Abyss is already extremely violent, coupled with the fact that the manifested ‘Abyss Stone’ is a special product here, perhaps it is precisely because of the degree of compatibility between the two that there will be such a special change.’

Ye Yun thought in his heart, but the movements on his hands were not slow. His consciousness touched the miniature model in his sea of consciousness again, and the violent energy of the Purgatory Abyss surged again. One second-level 'Abyss Stone' after another took shape above Ye Yun's right hand. In a short while, it gathered to about fifty.

Seeing that the number was almost enough, Ye Yun stopped the manifestation action and inserted fifteen second-level 'Abyss Stones' into the grooves at the nodes of the magic array pattern.

After the fifteen 'Abyss Stones' energy completely started the magic array that had been sealed for many years, Ye Yun threw in fifteen 'Abyss Stones' again, and according to the operation on the first-level stone tower magic array, he left fifteen 'Abyss Stones' as spares. Then, he returned to the back of the Double-Winged Purgatory Beast and forcibly manipulated the Double-Winged Purgatory Beast to rush into the opened dark hole.

Between the changes of time and space, Ye Yun and the Double-Winged Purgatory Beast entered the third level of the Purgatory Abyss together.

The stone tower under his feet had one more level, and the height had reached more than twenty meters. The magic array patterns carved on it were a bit more complicated, and the number of node grooves where the magic arrays intersected had also increased to twenty, which meant that returning from the third level to the second level of the Purgatory Abyss would also require twenty third-level 'Abyss Stones'.

Ye Yun patted the Double-Winged Purgatory Beast under his feet and left this stone tower. After exploring the previous two levels, Ye Yun had a certain understanding of the Purgatory Abyss. He was eager to enter a higher level, at least to quickly enter the tenth level, in order to verify his ideas.
