Swallowed Star: Drawing Talents

Arid Rock Island, inside a cave.

A puppet body appeared out of thin air, holding a jade-green branch with leaves that resembled emeralds.

"Finally got it."

Yang Wu stared at the leaves in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief. With these leaves, Yang Wu could begin to nurture his World Tree clone.

When the clone is nurtured, it can either sit in the divine kingdom, rooted within, to strengthen and stabilize it.

Its massive size could even become a source of divine power replenishment, allowing his other clones to quickly replenish their energy even after nearly exhausting their own.

Different bodies, same divine power.

The Law Ocean contains the purest divine power. Once a portion of this pure divine power is integrated into a life imprint, it becomes owned.

Whether it's the human body, the Destroyer Beast clone, the World Tree clone, or the future Nine Nether Sea clone, once they break through to become undying deities, these clones will be formed from the divine power infused with his soul imprint.

The divine power originates from the same source, so even if the Destroyer Beast clone loses 80% of its divine body, it can quickly replenish it from the World Tree clone.

Compared to the World Tree, 80% of the Destroyer Beast's divine body is probably less than one ten-thousandth of the World Tree's mass.

If a species' genes don't break through, then their body size will reach its limit at the peak of the Domain Lord level.

For example, a Domain Lord-level Destroyer Beast is thousands of kilometers tall, and it remains thousands of kilometers tall even at the Undying, Universe Venerable, and Universe Master stages.

Only when the life gene level increases is there a possibility of mutation, but even then, it's just a possibility.

Yang Wu's Destroyer Beast clone's life gene level has increased, but its body size hasn't changed at all.

~~~

In the void beside him, a green light suddenly rippled. Yang Wu stepped through the divine kingdom teleportation and arrived at the Primal Secret Region. Then, through the cosmic passage, he finally delivered the World Tree leaves to his human body.

Inside the original core's inner world.

The human body stood on an endless plain, holding the World Tree branch and leaves in his hand.

"The last hurdle."

Yang Wu said softly, "Although there's no life gene level restriction for nurturing a clone in my inner world, there is a success rate. If I'm unlucky, I might not be able to nurture it successfully even after using up all these World Tree leaves."

'Will I succeed, or will I fail...'

He was nervous!

If he failed to nurture it, he would probably have to shamelessly make another trip to Tree Island. However, getting those Domain Lord-level World Tree leaves again wouldn't be so easy.

"Come on!"

Yang Wu waved his hand, and the beautiful, emerald-like World Tree leaves flew directly into the sky.

Whoosh!

The green stream of light flew straight into the sky, constantly shining like an aurora. The World Tree leaves continued to fly higher.

Yang Wu's inner world had a diameter of hundreds of millions of kilometers, and the World Tree leaves finally stopped at the most central location, suspended there.

"Talent Technique—Clone!"

Yang Wu's consciousness immediately issued the command. He had three clone opportunities. He used one to nurture the Destroyer Beast, achieving his current invincible power as a king.

This was the second time!

"Rumble~~~"

The entire inner world began to tremble, and endless world power began to gather frantically.

For a time, the entire inner world seemed to fall into an apocalypse. At the same time, a huge emerald green sphere began to appear in the sky of the inner world. "Bang!"

The emerald green sphere trembled violently.

"Bang!"

The emerald green sphere shook again, as if a Vulcan source crystal was exploding inside.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

With continuous rumbles, Yang Wu's consciousness also strongly felt the powerful pressure brought by the World Tree's life imprint within the emerald green sphere.

That powerful pressure made the entire inner world feel unbearable.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, with the last rumble, the emerald green sphere, which had been making bursts of booming sounds, began to slowly subside. The entire inner world was deathly silent.

In this silent environment, the wave of nurturing quietly rippled.

"Did it succeed?"

With a trembling voice, Yang Wu asked this question. He had prepared to nurture it thousands of times, but he didn't expect to succeed on the first try.

He could clearly sense that the process of nurturing a clone in the inner world had already begun.

After eliminating the pressure brought by the life imprint, Yang Wu's consciousness constantly sensed everything.

Just a moment.

"Success, all life matter has been analyzed, the World Tree clone is beginning to truly nurture."

His consciousness quickly sensed this.

"Hahaha—"

Yang Wu's human body laughed heartily. His second clone was destined to be the World Tree. In the future, he would have the talent to control time and space. In addition, with the World Tree's incredibly huge body, few strong people could match him in battles of the same level.

"100 years!"

As the nurturing of the clone began, Yang Wu's consciousness also sensed the estimated time required for this second clone to be nurtured. The stronger the inner world, the easier the nurturing. The more powerful the life being nurtured, the longer the nurturing time.

"It will take 100 years to nurture it successfully, which is completely beyond my expectations. After all, this is the special life form, the World Tree."

Yang Wu was in a very happy mood. He could completely afford to wait for a mere 100 years. Moreover, if he transferred it to the Time Palace, it would only take one year outside to nurture it successfully.

"Continue, next is the Nine Nether Sea clone!"

Nine Nether Time and Space, Arid Rock Island.

In just a few seconds.

A hazy light lit up, which was the divine kingdom teleportation. The Destroyer Beast clone traveled from the distant human territory to the Ancestral God Secret Region in just a few seconds.

Whoosh!

Yang Wu stepped out and appeared in the cave, then turned into a stream of light and flew out of the island.

Suddenly—

Yang Wu stopped abruptly, stepping on the void, frowning and looking around.

At this moment, he felt the spatial fluctuations around him completely stop, and then he discovered that a powerful pressure was rapidly descending.

Yang Wu looked around and saw a powerful alien race, "Venerable Yixie."

"Qingli King, I found you!" Venerable Yixie's three faces became even more ferocious as Yang Wu turned his head.

"Soul control, kill."

Venerable Yixie's head turned sharply, and one of the dark green faces stared at the Destroyer Beast clone, unleashing the soul control technique.

"~~~"

An invisible attack descended on Yang Wu's mind.

"Boom!"

"Ding~"

An incomparably terrifying soul roar, even with Yang Wu's will, his consciousness was instantly blank. This soul roar crushed and destroyed Yang Wu's outermost layers of soul defense with a destructive force, and the 'Soul Heart Bell' sitting in the soul core suddenly emerged, emitting light to envelop the soul.

"Buzz buzz buzz~~~"

The Soul Heart Bell was also trembling slightly, Yang Wu's soul was trembling, and the marginal mental power was completely shattered and disappeared, leaving only the core of the soul protected by the Soul Heart Bell, desperately resisting.

"What terrifying methods."

Yang Wu's blank consciousness instantly regained consciousness, and he was shocked by everything he felt in his body.

When the Soul Heart Bell didn't appear, my consciousness was blank as soon as the attack landed. Obviously, I had no power to resist. If it weren't for the Soul Heart Bell, I would definitely have been crushed into nothingness.

The soul defense secret technique of the Seven Stars Light of the Fifth Star was instantly shattered by that soul secret technique attack. The opponent is at least a high-level Universe Venerable, and also a Universe Venerable who is proficient in soul aspects!"

"Escape."

As soon as Yang Wu regained consciousness, he couldn't care about anything else and instantly teleported away.
