Swallowed Star: Drawing Talents

Outer Territory Battlefield, Outpost Base 026.

Yang Wu was in a villa on an island in the lake, on his twenty-ninth day at the outpost base.

“Boom!”

Three unfamiliar figures flew directly over the mountain range and lake, quickly reaching the edge of Yang Wu's private island in the sky.

“Haha, you've finally arrived,” Yang Wu said as he walked out of the villa and strode to the edge of the island.

“Sir, these are the goods you ordered, all inside here.”

Among the three figures, the leader was an undying spirit, who respectfully handed over a world ring.

“This world ring is also a free gift to you, sir.

” The world ring flew directly towards Yang Wu, hovering in front of him.

“Mm.”

Yang Wu took it with slight excitement, instantly recognizing the world ring as its owner and confirming receipt of the goods.

‘We won’t disturb you any further.’

“Go then!”

Yang Wu waved his hand, unable to resist turning around and returning to his residence.

“They’ve finally all arrived.”

Inside a world within the world ring, the Destroyer Beast clone was playing with a magnificent golden palace—the Time Palace!

This high-standard Time Palace has three levels of adjustable time flow:

10 times, 30 times, and 100 times.

Among them, one year of operation at 10 times the time flow consumes energy resources worth 10,000 chaos units.

One year of operation at 30 times the time flow consumes energy resources worth 1 million chaos units.

One year of operation at 100 times the time flow consumes energy resources worth a full 10 billion chaos units.

Time Palaces are extremely expensive; Time Palaces with 10x or 100x acceleration are relatively normal in price, while those with 1000x acceleration are already sky-high.

The consumption of energy resources is also the same; the greater the multiple of the time flow, the more explosive the increase in resources required.

Within the entire human race, there is no Time Palace that accelerates ten thousand times; only the Giant Axe Founder's miniature universe can achieve ten thousand times the time acceleration.

This is something even the Chaos City Lord cannot do, because even though he has some control over the initial universe, the initial universe was not created by him after all.

However—

Although the Giant Axe Founder's miniature universe can accelerate to 10,081 times, the energy resources required are extremely terrifying, even for true gods.

In the original story,

To give Luo Feng ten thousand times acceleration, even the Mountain Guest paid a considerable price.

With Yang Wu's current financial resources, he can only support the operation at 30 times the flow rate; he cannot afford the 100 times time flow.

Time to make money!

“Hi, Qingli King!”

Yang Wu had just left the villa when a voice was transmitted directly to him.

Looking up into the distance, about hundreds of kilometers away, there was a vast lake, and on an island in the lake was a luxurious residence, with a figure overlooking him.

“Yechen King!”

Yang Wu also replied with a voice transmission.

Whoosh!

This figure appeared out of thin air at the edge of Yang Wu's private island, wearing dark red battle armor; he was a King-level expert with a pair of wings and golden eyes.

“Aren’t you going to invite me in?”

“How dare I? Please come in, please come in.”

Yang Wu laughed.

An island is private territory; naturally, no one can enter without the owner's permission. Within the outpost base, no one dares to violate the base's rules.

‘Speak, what is it that you, a busy man, want from me?’

Having obtained Yang Wu's permission, Yechen King instantly arrived in front of Yang Wu, and the two came to the stone table in the courtyard to sit down, taking out wine sets and pouring wine.

Yechen King is a peak King-level expert with the ability to teleport.

He is from a branch of the human Winged race, known for being fierce and bloodthirsty, not easily acknowledging others, but once he recognizes someone as a friend, he is naturally very generous.

During his time at the outpost base, Yang Wu made such a friend, and Yechen King had just come from the Gemini Starfield, making Yang Wu one of the first friends he had met here.

Gemini Starfield!

The seventh battlefield of the outer territory, one of the most dangerous places; the Gemini Starfield has both attraction and repulsion, and at least among King-level undyings, no one has been heard of reaching the core of the Gemini Starfield.

Some experts have tried to teleport into it, but upon teleporting deeper, the much stronger repulsive force would instantly annihilate the undying spirit completely.

Not long after the two met, Yang Wu was invited by him to spar and fight.

After a “friendly exchange,” Yang Wu's hardcore strength naturally gained Yechen King's approval, and the two became true friends from then on.

In Yechen King's words, Yang Wu's instantaneous speed changes were too fast, and his teleportation posed no threat to the other party, as the other party could dodge as soon as he teleported.

And with time stop,

He would instead be threatened; once hit by the time stop wave, he would be completely on the receiving end of a beating, and perhaps only experts skilled in soul attacks could injure Yang Wu.

“Have you heard of the legends of the Yan Sacrifice Continent?”

Yechen King asked slowly, holding his wine glass after pouring himself a cup of wine.

“Are you talking about the tower?”

Yang Wu was stunned; at this time, Yechen King should not have obtained the Sacrifice Tower token yet.

“Yes.”

Yechen King nodded solemnly.

There are many mysterious places in the seventh battlefield, such as the Yan Sacrifice Continent, the Gemini Starfield, the Star Tower, and many other high-level combat areas, all with legends.

Back then,

When the four peak races opened up the outer territory battlefield, the Yan Sacrifice Continent was within the scope of the battlefield opening, and the Yan Sacrifice did not dare to resist and naturally fled in panic.

But because there was not enough time, only a portion escaped, and more were slaughtered.

The Yan Sacrifice Continent is most famous for its Sacrifice Towers; each Sacrifice Tower is a large survival base, and many treasures of the Yan Sacrifice Continent's natives are placed in the Sacrifice Towers, which are then quickly evacuated.

But in the hasty escape, some Sacrifice Towers still did not manage to escape; some were directly taken away by the four peak races of that time, while others were hidden in a certain area of the Yan Sacrifice Continent.

‘It is said that the Sacrifice Towers are mysteriously manufactured, and even the divine power detection of universe Venerables cannot detect them, nor can detectors.’

Yechen King said, “Historically, more than ten Sacrifice Towers have been discovered on the Yan Sacrifice Continent.

” “Have you discovered a Sacrifice Tower?” Yang Wu looked at him with a smile.

“How is that possible!”

Yechen King was stunned.

“I am looking for you to join hands and venture into the Yan Sacrifice Continent together; I can teleport, your instantaneous burst speed is strong, plus time stop.

‘Who can stop us on the Yan Sacrifice Continent,’ Yechen King said.

On the entire Yan Sacrifice Continent, although there are only three King-level undyings from the human race itself,

There are many alien races affiliated with the human race and a large number of alien races entering the battlefield through the human alliance, adding up to hundreds of King-levels.

On the Yan Sacrifice Continent, the four camps together are estimated to have over a thousand King-level experts.

Of course,

Compared to the large number of undying lords and feudal marquises on the Yan Sacrifice Continent, the number of King-level experts is extremely small.

“I am used to venturing alone and have no plans to join hands for the time being!”

If this matter had been brought up before, Yang Wu might have considered it, but now that he has Zi Qiong King as a free tool, there is no need to team up with Yechen King again.

“Alas, what a pity!”

Yechen King looked regretful, but he did not take it too much to heart, as he had prepared to be rejected before coming; after all, the two had not known each other for long.

If the distribution of spoils is unsatisfactory, conflicts and contradictions may arise between the two sides.

“Although it is a bit of a pity, feel free to seek me out if you need help.”

Both have their respective virtual universe numbers, and within the entire Yan Sacrifice Continent, as long as it is not a space-locked area, Yechen King can teleport directly.

After drinking his fill,

Yechen King left Yang Wu's private island with a slight buzz.
