Swallowed Star: Drawing Talents

Nine Nether Time and Space, Tree Island.

Yang Wu realized just how enormous this World Tree was when he stepped into the inner circle.

The strongest World Tree was ridiculously large, the number one ranked tree-type special lifeform in the universe in terms of volume, with a trunk diameter of 12 million kilometers and a height of 5.9 billion kilometers, its canopy spanning over a billion kilometers in diameter.

The three immortal-level World Trees surrounding the strongest World Tree were only slightly smaller, with a height of 1.2 billion kilometers.

As for the five smallest domain lord-level World Trees, their trunks were over a hundred kilometers in diameter, and their height reached 60 million kilometers, stretching out of sight.

Yang Wu's height of a thousand kilometers was like that of a tiny ant in front of them.

Arriving before the strongest World Tree, Yang Wu looked up at the massive branches, their height reaching insane levels.

The World Tree's branches and leaves were something he absolutely had to obtain, and such a formidable and enormous body filled him with an incredibly strong desire.

While his mind was thinking, Yang Wu outwardly bowed to the strongest World Tree once again, saying, "Greetings, Tree Venerable!"

"I've heard of you, Qingli King, a successor personally invited by the Ancestral God." The strongest World Tree's voice was incredibly gentle. "Tree Venerable, you flatter me!" Yang Wu replied humbly. "No, I'm serious!" The strongest World Tree said earnestly.

Yang Wu's affairs had already spread to their 'circle,' after all, since the endless Luo Moon, those personally invited by the Ancestral God were all top powerhouses in the universe.

And Qingli King was, so far, the only one below the universe venerable level, a triple successor who had just entered the Ancestral God Mystic Realm.

"Speak your purpose."

The World Tree's nature was benevolent, and the number of lives that had actually died at its hands was not that many.

As the only World Tree born when the universe was created, it entered the Ancestral God Mystic Realm with the Lord of Nine Nether after the Ancestral God Mystic Realm was opened up.

Then it stayed there until now, and those who died at its hands were all successors who came to snatch the World Tree's branches, after all, being benevolent did not mean it wouldn't kill.

It just didn't kill indiscriminately!

And as long as one didn't provoke it, it wouldn't fight with other lives.

The strongest World Tree's directness caught Yang Wu, who was used to euphemistic expressions, off guard. He pondered for a moment, about to change his way of speaking, but he didn't expect the strongest World Tree to speak first.

"What, is it difficult?"

The strongest World Tree's tone carried a hint of a smile, deliberately saying, "If you've come all this way just to chat with me, then please forgive me for not having time to entertain you!"

What do you mean no time!!!

Yang Wu secretly slandered, you're lonely to the point of despair, don't you know that yourself?

If it wasn't lonely, who would specially nurture the other eight World Trees at the cost of reducing their own potential?

Few people in the original universe knew about the father-son relationship between the strongest World Tree and the eight World Trees under it.

It's as if a big tree grows in the soil, and as time passes, small saplings will grow around it.

This is the instinct of trees!

The strongest World Tree was a unique existence in the universe. As a tree, it could also allow small saplings to grow around it, all according to its will.

One must know that as long as it separated a little branch, it could be transformed into a powerful life tree. As the strongest World Tree full of endless life force, its life origin was extremely powerful.

Because it was lonely, it wanted to nurture saplings well, so at the cost of reducing its own potential, it used a portion of the essence energy of its life origin to nurture the seeds of other World Trees.

The strongest World Tree would rather reduce its own potential than nurture eight saplings well.

So in essence, it cared for its eight children like a father, and tree-type lives inherently disliked moving. Being here for endless Luo Moon meant that its relationship with its eight children was closer than the father-son relationship of many races in the universe.

"Tree Venerable, I want to ask for a section of branch and leaves to stabilize my divine kingdom." Since the words had been spoken, Yang Wu directly stated his intention.

The strongest World Tree said in a deep voice, "If you want my branches, it's simple."

Hearing this, Yang Wu was overjoyed. He wasn't afraid of it speaking, he was afraid of it not speaking.

"I want a favor from you!"

"A favor? So simple?" Yang Wu was stunned, looking at the huge tree trunk in front of him, and asked uncertainly.

Although favors were difficult to repay, it depended on who owed them, and what stage of strength they were owed at?

At this time, Yang Wu was just a domain lord, and a domain lord bearing the favor of a universe master was obviously very unstable, because it could lose its effect at any time.

The future can be slightly foreseen, but no one can be sure.

Who can guarantee that a domain lord can smoothly become a universe master, who can guarantee that there won't be any accidents in the middle?

If there was even a tiny accident, this favor would be like paper.

Useless.

From this point of view, it was extremely unfavorable for the strongest World Tree.

Of course, for Yang Wu, exchanging a future favor for huge current benefits was an obvious choice.

Was it difficult to repay a favor?

It was very difficult to repay a favor!

Once a favor was owed, if others had a request, as long as the request itself didn't touch too much of one's own interests, one would generally agree to try to repay the favor.

This was the credibility of a strong person.

For example, in the original work, the Void True Demon God attacked Luo Feng, and the price of nine top-tier treasures could make a universe's strongest person put down his face and attack a universe venerable junior. And in this, there was also the possibility of facing the entire human race, facing a Giant Axe Founder, and even angering the entire Ancestral God Sect.

Was the price enough?

The price was not enough at all.

The Void True Demon God agreed to the Mechanical Father God's mission, and the nine top-tier treasures were just icing on the cake. In the end, the favor played a decisive role.

"Yes."

"It's that simple!"

The strongest World Tree's tone was also very certain, and then, as if seeing through Yang Wu's concerns, the strongest World Tree said again, "Don't worry, this future favor will definitely not embarrass you, nor will it harm your own interests."

Geniuses have capital.

There was also competition within the Ancestral God Sect. The Eight Directional Beast Gods, the Reserve Beast Gods, the Outer God Lords, etc., who didn't like to have more genius powerhouses under them?

Especially the Eight Directional Beast Gods, who were all extremely lazy, leaving all the affairs to their subordinates, while they either slept or enjoyed themselves.

And to achieve this.

If the powerhouses under them weren't strong enough, how could they live so comfortably.

The current investment was in the future!

The strongest World Tree deeply realized this point. A genius favored by the Ancestral God would definitely not be too bad. This was a predictable future.

What it was doing was just developing its connections. A section of branch and leaves was just a drop in the bucket for it. Why not use it to develop connections?

"Wait, outsider, who do you think you are? What makes you think that your favor can make my father bestow a section of branch and leaves."

Just as Yang Wu was about to nod in agreement, the cold voice of a small domain lord-level World Tree on the periphery came from the countless emerald branches and leaves.

It could see from its father's attitude that this guy was highly valued by its father.

But.

No matter how fierce this guy was, he couldn't be fiercer than a special lifeform.

And once their World Tree was fortunate enough to step into that step, no one in the entire universe would be their opponent. Their divine body would be so large that even the strongest in the universe could be beaten until they vomited.

"This brat, he hasn't been beaten enough!

Yang Wu secretly slandered. It seemed that the tempering that the strongest World Tree had arranged for it had not had much effect at all!

"Little Seven, the visitor is a guest!"

The strongest World Tree's gentle voice rang out, wanting to appease that domain lord-level World Tree.

"Hmph, outsider, don't just talk big. If you have the ability, fight me."

Seeing its father protect an outsider, Little Seven was very unhappy, as if muttering something.

"Good!"

Yang Wu immediately agreed, and couldn't help but secretly cheer in his heart.

Heaven helps me!

Asking the strongest World Tree for branches and leaves was just a pretense. His ultimate goal was actually the branches and leaves of the domain lord-level World Tree.

What genetic material was there in the branches and leaves of the immortal and above World Tree?

Now that this rebellious domain lord-level World Tree had taken the initiative to bring it up, it saved him a lot of excuses. If he could get a few leaves during the battle, half of his goal would be achieved this time.

"Huh?"

"Hahaha, good, good, good, outsider, I wronged you. You are still very brave."

The countless branches and leaves on the crown of that domain lord-level World Tree danced excitedly.

"Seven Seven, don't underestimate him!"

The other World Trees let out bursts of laughter, some old, some crisp, some mischievous.

The strongest World Tree did not speak. It also wanted to take this opportunity to see Yang Wu's specific combat power, and also wanted to take this opportunity to teach Little Seven a lesson.

A double win.

Anyway, within the time and space it controlled, even if the two sides fought fiercely, there would be no accidents.

Outside the Nine Nether Time and Space in the void.

Whoosh!

A figure with a divine body exceeding 10 kilometers suddenly appeared in this void.

"It's the Nine Nether Time and Space."

"That guy should have entered the Nine Nether Time and Space!"

This was a foreign race powerhouse with a huge snake tail, a human upper body, thick arms covered with scales, and three faces on his head.

His head was triangular prism-shaped, presenting three faces respectively. Anyone who looked at them could feel the ugliness and evil emanating from the three faces, invisibly arousing fear in their hearts.

Universe Venerable!

The fluctuations emanating from that space, the terrifying law aura emanating from his body, all indicated the identity of the visitor. This was a powerful Universe Venerable.

"Ga hahahaha.

"Qingli King, you are mine!"

The next moment, this unknown foreign race venerable disappeared and entered the Nine Nether Time and Space.

Nine Nether Time and Space, Tree Island.

"Huff～"

"～"

A ray of extreme lightning rushed out of the green barrier. Lightning flashed above the sky, and countless branches and leaves around it, which were originally swaying in the wind,

were all directed towards the lightning in the sky, and an extremely turbulent force completely wrapped around the lightning.

Above the sky.

Yang Wu looked at the branches and leaves that were wrapped around him, and his expression showed some seriousness.

Although this young World Tree was only at the domain lord level, it was really not easy to deal with. Not to mention the scary volume, just the means of controlling time and space and the accompanying binding ability were really troublesome.

The life gene level of the domain lord-level World Tree was a thousand times that of humans, and with the teaching of the strongest World Tree with the combat power of a universe master, it knew how to amplify its body, which could amplify it dozens of times.

That was tens of thousands of times the power of a domain lord, and with some innate attack methods, it was definitely at the level of a peak king.

But.

Boom!

As Yang Wu gave a soft shout, the lightning that was wrapped up instantly exploded.

"Rumble—."

A ball of purple lightning was instantly born, and the terrifying energy exploded, instantly impacting the surrounding space, directly turning the space into powder and shattering it into countless fragments, drawing out the space interlayer.

The energy that escaped from the impact instantly stirred up the countless space fragments in the space interlayer, once again turning them into the most basic particle flow.

The power generated by this explosion instantly raged within a radius of 300,000 kilometers, directly turning it into nothingness within 10,000 kilometers, leaving behind some branch debris in the distance, and some leaf debris, etc., further away.

The blast damage of 300,000 kilometers was nothing compared to the domain lord-level World Tree with a crown diameter of over 100 million kilometers, but the branches and leaves that were cast with the control of time and space lost contact in an instant of the explosion and scattered everywhere,

A large number of branches and leaves were broken off from a long distance, and were directly blasted away by the strong shock wave, and countless broken leaves flew in all directions like arrows under the shock wave. For a time, branches and leaves flew in all directions, filling the sky.

Yang Wu also took this opportunity to casually collect a few World Tree leaves.

It was okay to collect two or three pieces as trophies. If he collected too much of this stuff, would the strongest World Tree above who controlled time and space really not notice!

As for the domain lord-level World Tree not noticing that one of its leaves had disappeared, it was not strange. There was an essential difference between the domain lord level and the immortal level.

Once one stepped into immortality, every leaf would be integrated into the soul's life imprint, so one could naturally sense it clearly, but the World Tree at the domain lord level retained certain plant characteristics, and a leaf did not have a trace of life imprint, so it could not be sensed at all.

"You—you want to explode!"

The crown of the domain lord-level World Tree was shaking, and it angrily issued its dissatisfaction.

Which kid would throw firecrackers as soon as they started fighting?

"Little Seven, there are no rules in a real life-and-death battle. If Qingli King hadn't shown mercy just now, you would have been seriously injured by the explosion."

The gentle voice of the strongest World Tree resounded throughout the territory occupied by the World Tree.

And a large number of emerald green branch and leaf debris that had been blasted away actually flew up again and flew towards the crown of the domain lord-level World Tree, and pieces of leaves merged into the crown. The blast damage with a diameter of 300,000 kilometers.

was quickly restored under the surging life energy. Within the short period of time of the strongest World Tree, the injuries of the domain lord-level World Tree were completely restored.

All the branches and leaves were fully grown, and there was no sign of being injured before, and there was not a single fallen leaf on the ground.

"But—."

"In the future, you have to work hard and become immortal like your big brothers, so you can beat Qingli King."

The gentle voice of the strongest World Tree continued, also setting a goal for this World Tree, even if it might never be achieved.

But at least it has a goal, right?

This time, it was spurred on.

It should improve quite a bit!

"Hmph."

Little Seven harrumphed, knowing it had lost, but this battle was frustrating, and it just wanted to vent its dissatisfaction.

This battle was just a friendly exchange, with both sides stopping before going too far.

Although Yang Wu only broke the World Tree's control over time and space, the World Tree also didn't force out all of Yang Wu's abilities, not even his heavy treasures. Yang Wu's later self-destruction of lightning was similar in principle to the Fire God Source Crystal, using extreme energy compression to create an explosive effect.

And this effect is a way of using the Lightning Tribulation Light secret technique to attack.

The World Tree was defeated!

Defeated by a lack of experience!

After obtaining the branch of the strongest World Tree, Yang Wu left the Tree Island with a feeling of great satisfaction.

His purpose in coming to the Nine Nether Time-Space could be said to be half accomplished. As for the other half, it was the Nine Nether Sea Water.

The Nine Nether Master has two major innate talents: creation and sea transformation.

The Nine Nether Master's greatest asset, and his trump card for traversing the original universe without fear of anyone.

A Universe Master who is not afraid of death is naturally extremely terrifying. The Nine Nether Master often uses an unsolvable method when fighting enemies.

Self-destruction!

This rogue and unsolvable method, even if it doesn't kill you once, what about two or three times?

Or even hundreds or thousands of times? This method is very rogue, but it is very effective in the original universe. With the vast Nine Nether Sea to restore his divine body, the Nine Nether Master's divine power is like it's free.

In terms of attrition warfare, no one can beat him, unless it is the strongest in the universe.
