Swallowed Star: Drawing Talents

At the foot of Demon Mountain.

Deep within a towering palace.

In the chilling hall filled with cold air, Marquis Po Yu slowly walked in from the hall door, her usually gentle gaze suddenly turning sharp.

l．

Her body rapidly changed, her two long legs transforming into a jade-green serpentine tail over ten meters long. Her upper body remained flawlessly perfect, especially her peerless face beneath her jade-green hair, which was breathtakingly beautiful. Marquis Po Yu flew onto the throne.

Her bewitching eyes gazed far beyond the hall, as if seeing a place billions of light-years away.

“Zhen Yan——” Po Yu's voice was low and沉.

Ka Cha.

Her crystalline right hand, seemingly carved from jade, directly shattered the throne's armrest.

“Why?“

“Why can you be so successful and pleased with yourself!”

The beautiful woman, Marquis Po Yu, gritted her teeth and said, “I wish, I wish I could kill everyone related to you.”

She often paid attention to Zhen Yan King. Although Yang Wu's relationship with Zhen Yan King was ordinary, he had an extraordinary relationship with his newly accepted disciple, Luo Feng.

A woman scorned is unreasonable.

But she wasn't stupid either.

She also saw Yang Wu's status.

“Even King Tian Yu arranged for me to greet him in advance. Yang Wu's status is truly terrifying.”

Marquis Po Yu thought to herself. In her long time stationed at Demon Mountain, she had never seen any genius treated so highly by King Tian Yu.

Having followed King Tian Yu for so long, Marquis Po Yu knew his character very well.

King Tian Yu was usually very difficult to talk to and didn't care much even about universe country lords.

However, such a proud King Tian Yu would pay attention to a universe-level genius and order a Marquis-level immortal like herself to personally handle such a small matter as reception.

She was crazy.

But she hadn't completely lost her mind.

She clearly understood that Yang Wu was absolutely not someone she could provoke, not even with a slight thought.

Because once discovered, even if she was a Marquis-level immortal, she wouldn't be able to save her life.

However…

Yang Wu was off-limits, but she wouldn't let Luo Feng go.

Luo Feng!

This new disciple of Zhen Yan King, the genius of the Primordial Secret Realm who had a close relationship with Yang Wu, would probably come to Demon Mountain to train later.

“Humph!” Marquis Po Yu snorted coldly.

I dare not touch Yang Wu, but Luo Feng——.

The image of the ape-man creature with thick eyebrows and big eyes appeared in her mind, and she gnashed her teeth for a moment: “Zhen Yan, let me collect some interest first!”

Demon Mountain, two sides of the same coin.

The evolution of the universe has led to the formation of two special environments in Demon Mountain: Demon Sound Mountain and Ice Mountain. Entering from the front entrance of Demon Mountain leads to Demon Sound Mountain, and entering from the back entrance leads to Ice Mountain.

Among them, Demon Sound Mountain is vast and deep, with cold winds whistling, sometimes accompanied by various sounds. These sounds can be called "natural illusions", which can easily trick people.

Some terrible areas will instantly cause many universe-level powerhouses, and even domain lords, to lose their self-awareness and become living corpses.

Demon Sound Mountain mainly targets the soul, while Ice Mountain targets the body.

Ice Mountain is extremely cold, and the ultra-low temperature environment can even damage the body's gene cells of universe-level powerhouses.

The temperature inside Ice Mountain is not the same in all areas. In some places, the low temperature can even harm domain lords and even world lords.

On the majestic mountain of Demon Mountain, one can occasionally see a cave entrance, filled with cold air. A spaceship flies around Demon Mountain like a fly.

A moment later.

Whoosh!

The spaceship hatch opened, and Yang Wu transformed into a stream of light, randomly choosing a cave entrance to enter.

Inside the majestic and continuous Demon Mountain.

“Hiss, it's so cold!”

Stepping on the ice layer on the rocky ground, the invisible cold air directly penetrated his combat boots, faintly stinging Yang Wu's skin. These cold air even penetrated his skin, gradually spreading into his body.

On the deep and vast cave walls, the surface of those rocks was covered with a layer of ice, whether it was the walls or the rocky ground, all had ice layers.

“Whoosh!”

A biting cold wind, like the wails of ghosts, howled through the cave, and the invisible cold air poured into his body, ravaging Yang Wu's body.

Both sides of Demon Mountain, whether it is Demon Sound Mountain or Ice Mountain, are extremely cold, and the coldness of Ice Mountain far exceeds that of Demon Sound Mountain.

Yang Wu looked around.

This cave was about tens of kilometers high and hundreds of kilometers wide. As he moved forward along the cave, hundreds of large and small passages extended ahead. Whoosh～

The cold wind howled through these hundreds of passages, like blades scraping against his body.

Yang Wu withstood the cold wind's attack, randomly chose a passage to enter, and began to delve into Ice Mountain.

Ice Mountain is very large, occupying about half of the Demon Mountain's area.

The width of the bottom of Demon Mountain reaches an astonishing 3.2 billion kilometers, and the height is an astonishing 1.8 billion kilometers.

Inside Demon Mountain, countless cave passages like a maze crisscross and spiral.

In the crystal clear rock and ice channel, the cold wind howled along the vast ice channel. Yang Wu withstood the cold wind and carefully moved forward, enduring the cold.

In this Ice Mountain, although Yang Wu was confident—.

But he couldn't act recklessly.

The temperature in different areas of Ice Mountain is not the same, some are strong and some are weak. In strong areas, even world lords will have their body's gene cells completely collapse in an instant.

"Red Ling, detect the environment here."

"Okay, master, the detection instrument has been turned on to maximum power and switched to precision exploration mode."

The A111-192038 model detector, with a detection radius of 100 kilometers, was a high-level detector that Yang Wu spent 1 million points to redeem from the virtual universe company's treasure vault.

Ordinary detection instruments are difficult to use in Ice Mountain, not only is the detection range generally small, but also the detection accuracy is difficult to grasp.

Perhaps just after detecting the other party's world lord, they would be detected by the other party's world power, or even be detected by the other party in turn.

Only high-level goods like Yang Wu, high-level detectors that were specially redeemed at a high price, can run rampant in this special area.

Even in precision exploration mode, the high-end detector can search an area of 100 kilometers in radius.

‘Master, there is a bear-like phantom beast life 626 kilometers ahead.’ Red Ling’s voice sounded in Yang Wu’s sea of consciousness.

“According to the energy intensity it naturally emits, its strength is comparable to a universe level five stage."

“Phantom beast!”

Yang Wu's eyes lit up, and he quickly flew forward.

Phantom beast.

Any conspiracies and tricks are ineffective against them.”

Phantom beasts are a peculiar life form naturally generated in Demon Mountain, formed by the gathering of extremely cold energy, containing a simple to the extreme consciousness.

In terms of intelligence.

It is not even as good as the pet cats and dogs raised by Earthlings.

But precisely because they are extremely stupid, phantom beasts only know one thing, they will attack any non-phantom beast life they discover.

“Roar～～”

The silver-white bear, after seeing Yang Wu from afar, excitedly roared, and then rushed towards Yang Wu.

‘So cute, but unfortunately has no brains.’

The big ice bear attacked Yang Wu again and again with its simple consciousness, but its pitiful speed could not even touch the corner of Yang Wu's clothes.

“Boom!”

With just a casual blow, the big ice bear, comparable to a universe level five stage, was completely torn apart, turning into countless ice fragments scattered on the ground.

“What a peculiar life!”

Yang Wu curiously looked at the ice fragments on the ground. Although he had blasted the ice bear into ice fragments, its simple consciousness had not collapsed.

It seemed that under the special influence of Demon Mountain, countless ice blocks on the ground were slowly approaching. When two ice blocks touched, they quickly merged into a larger ice block.

“I really want to study it, but——

Yang Wu shook his head regretfully and quickly turned around and left. He still had important things to do and would not waste time on this.

Moreover.

This time he was just lucky to encounter a weaker phantom beast. If he encountered one that could be comparable to a world lord peak, he would probably have to let his small account appear.
