Drop!

Drop!

Drop!!

The piercing sound kept echoing in Yang Yu's mind.

"Your Highness Yang Yu, I solemnly remind you that this is Desperate Level Mission. Many brilliant members of our Virtual Universe Company's Primal Secret Realm Member have lost their lives in Desperate Level Mission. I suggest you cultivate for a while longer, accumulate more mission experience, and then try to undertake Desperate Level Mission again."

Electronic sounds echoed in the study.

"To go back, please select Cancel; to continue, please select OK."

"Once it's decided, there's no going back; the chosen Desperate Level Mission must be carried out!"

Yang Yu smiled faintly and clicked "OK".

Yang Yu's biggest trump card right now is the Zhuliuyin Clone.

Now that they already possess Immortal Level Combat Power, choosing an easier Cultivation Mission would truly have no effect on their development.

After all, if it's called a desperate situation, it's a Universe Level desperate situation. For Yang Yu now, as long as he's not too arrogant and remains cautious, the possibility of succeeding is still very high. At worst, he won't lose his life.

Drop!

The page on the screen refreshed automatically, and a brand new page appeared.

This page will only appear when you actually start accepting Desperate Level Mission.

At the very top of the page is a line of text:

"Desperate Level Mission have a 90% mortality rate. Surviving such perilous situations requires both strength and luck! Primal Secret Realm Member can choose a maximum of three Desperate Level Mission within a hundred years. Please choose each Desperate Level Mission carefully."

The following is a list of Desperate Level Mission:

1. Purgatory Abyss (The Primal Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe Company)

2. Cloud Palace (Great Axe Coliseum, Shenshi Secret Realm)

3. Spirit Sea (Galaxy Bank Spirit Sea Secret Realm)

7. Mist Continent (Virtual Universe Company's Heaven and Earth Secret Realm)

8. The Magic Mountain (Taichu Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe Company)

12. Dead Star (Universe Mercenary Alliance Glory Secret Realm)

18. Blood Demon Continent (The Universe First Bank: Blood Drip Secret Realm)

Yang Yu stared at the list, lost in thought.

"There are a total of 186 Danger Level Mission, but only 18 of them are Desperate Level Mission. That's really few."

18 perilous missions.

Four of them are secret realms under the Virtual Universe Company, while the other 14 are secret realms under the Great Axe Coliseum, the Universe Mercenary Alliance, the Galaxy Bank, and the Universe First Bank.

Just by looking at these names, Yang Yu could tell that these missions were no ordinary ones. They were indeed very dangerous for Universe Level being.

Calling it a 'desperate situation' is definitely not meant to be alarmist.

"Let's take a look at them one by one to see what these desperate situations are, and then select the most suitable ones." Yang Yu began to flip through the pages.

Each task has a detailed description and specific requirements.

The Points vary.

The lowest Points is for the 'Dead Star' mission, but the Dead Star mission is a composite mission with three parts, each worth 100,000 Points, which adds up to 300,000 points, not a small amount.

The highest Points is achieved by the top-ranked 'Purgatory Abyss', which rewards 1 million Points upon completion of all requirements!

Yang Yu read and pondered for a full half hour.

"There's only one perilous quest in the Primal Secret Realm: 'Purgatory Abyss.' Looking at the description and comparing it to other Desperate Level Mission, it seems suitable in all aspects. That's it!"

Yang Yu's eyes lit up, and he consciously clicked 'Claim'.

"Drop!"

Please confirm receipt of the 'Purgatory Abyss' quest.

"Beep! Claim successful."

"Please fill in your departure time. This location is secluded and you may not go there on your own. Virtual Universe Company will arrange for someone to take you to the mission location."

"Ding~ Successful submission. Staff will send you to the Purgatory Abyss within half a day."

Looking at the completed application, Yang Yu nodded slightly, "I wonder what kind of adventures await in this Purgatory Abyss."

Given the consistent practices of Super Force like Virtual Universe Company or Great Axe Coliseum, the more dangerous the mission, the greater the potential opportunities it may contain.

Of course, risks and opportunities coexist. If someone is just an ordinary, Universe Level genius without any truly formidable trump cards, then the probability of their downfall is indeed ridiculously high!

Judging from the circumstances of the Desperate Level Mission in the Original Work, the probability of an ordinary Universe Level genius dying should be an astonishing 95%!

The reason the mission shows a 90% success rate is simply because geniuses like Luo Feng, who have special opportunities, have increased the probability.

Now Yang Yu is also preparing to see for himself that this is the number one Desperate Level Mission, known as the most difficult, with the highest reward Points, and possibly the greatest hidden opportunities!

Confirm that you have accepted the task.

Yang Yu awakened the Moyun Vine, and instantly the blood-red Moyun Battle Suit covered his body. At the same time, Yang Yu also wore a purple Force Battle Suit on top of this armor.

At the same time, information about the Purgatory Abyss mission flashed through Yang Yu's mind.

Purgatory Abyss:

Located deep within the Primal Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe Company, it has existed for an extremely long time, and most of its geographical locations have extremely harsh living environments.

The interior contains numerous powerful individuals and formidable Fierce Beast. After being purged by the Human Race High Level, it is now under the jurisdiction of the Star Prison Palace for suppression and guard.

This abyss covers an extremely large area, comparable to a medium-sized Universe Country!

At the same time, the internal forces are complex and intertwined, so the Core Member accept this mission must be extremely careful.

One moment of carelessness could lead to death.

Task requirements:

1. Survive in the Purgatory Abyss for one year, reward 400,000 Points.

2. Obtain an 'Abyss Crystal' located on Star Fragment No. 00001 in the Purgatory Abyss. Submit it to receive a reward of 600,000 Points.

(Note: Although Star Fragment No. 00001 is a fragment, it is actually an extremely large continent, with a diameter exceeding three light-years! Abyss Crystal are a specialty of this continent; furthermore: Abyss Crystal are extremely difficult to obtain. If you cannot obtain them, surviving for more than a year will also be considered as completing the mission. If the mission taker obtains any extra Abyss Crystal, our company is willing to purchase each crystal for 10,000 Points, with no limit!)

"Star Fragment, Abyss Crystal"

Yang Yu stared at the virtual screen in front of him, deep in thought.

The Abyss Crystal displayed on the screen was exceptionally beautiful. Although it was only the size of a palm, its surface was covered with 10,081 crystalline facets, each reflecting an eerie purple luster, making it look extremely strange and mysterious.

"Survival for one year, one Abyss Crystal. The mission doesn't seem too difficult on the surface, but completing it entirely will definitely be challenging, at least for Core Member at the Universe Level."

Yang Yu carefully read the mission introduction several times and consciously absorbed nearly a hundred of the most commonly used native languages in the Abyss World, learning them all in half a day.

Just as Yang Yu had mastered these languages, a silver-white, technologically advanced spaceship docked above the Star Continent.

A group of staff members dressed in black uniforms from the Virtual Universe Company flew out of the spaceship. At the head of the group was an Immortal exuding a powerful aura, followed by nine Peak World Lords.

"Your Highness Yang Yu, we are here to escort you to the Abyss World. You may call me Vita." The tall, robust immortal with four arms and dark red skin said respectfully. The nine World Lord behind him also bowed respectfully, while looking at Yang Yu with curiosity.

They were all very curious about this Registered Disciple of the Chaos City Lord, who was also the most dazzling genius in tens of millions of eons.

"We have Mr. Vita," Yang Yu said with a smile, fully armed.

The group then boarded the spaceship and flew towards the Abyss World.

Whoosh!

The silver-white spaceship disappeared into the distant Void in a matter of moments.

"Universe Shuttle complete. Now we begin our journey through the Dark Universe. Your Highness Yang Yu, it will take approximately ten hours to reach the Abyss World from here," the leading immortal Vita said with a smile.

"Hmm." Yang Yu nodded. "By the way, Mr. Vita, this Abyss World is so vast, and there are countless Immortal Expert within it. Can the Star Prison Palace alone completely protect it?"

Yang Yu still remembered that when they carried out the mission to hunt down the Kute Race, the Star Prison Palace Branch didn't seem to have many people.

"Haha, Your Highness is unaware of the truth," the tall, robust, four-armed immortal Vita laughed loudly.

"Our Star Prison Palace is divided into many branch halls, among which the main hall guards the Abyss World. However, most of the personnel in each branch hall are usually patrolling various secret realms, killing natives with hidden threats, or assisting in clearing out some lurking dangers. Naturally, there are not many people staying in the palace for long periods of time."

"Moreover, the Abyss World, as the oldest and most dangerous secret realm, has long been personally guarded by our Palace Master."

"Oh? I see." Yang Yu recalled his meeting with the Star Prison Demon Lord and immediately understood the Virtual Universe Company's arrangements.

Moreover, this Abyss World is guarded by the Star Prison Demon Lord, Top Overlord of the universe, for a long time, so it must also hold great secrets.

Yang Yu also felt a strange familiarity with the Abyss Crystal, which might be similar to the Blood Luo Crystal in the Blood Luo World.

It's just unknown whether this Abyss Crystal can be absorbed and have a similar effect to the Blood Luo Crystal.

This point wasn't mentioned in the mission description, perhaps to allow the mission takers to discover it on their own.

Ten hours later.

The silver-white spaceship once again Universe Shuttle, returning to its Original Universe.

"Look!"

"The Abyss World is just ahead."

Inside the Spaceship Hall, Vita showed Yang Yu a glimpse of the Abyss World through External Scenery Virtualization.

It was a vast world, entirely dark red, stretching as far as the eye could see.

However, there is now a thick layer of 'junk' above this world. Upon closer inspection, it is full of shattered planetary debris and large amounts of unknown dust.

Above this Abyss World, a magnificent and enormous palace floats.

This is the Star Prison Palace Main Hall, which guards this place!

The Star Prison Palace here still has nine levels, but it is even more magnificent and tall. From a distance, the Star Prison Palace is nearly a million kilometers high!

"Your Highness, when our Virtual Universe Company conquered the Abyss World, the ensuing war shattered countless planets. These planetary remnants, along with massive amounts of dust and debris, filled the skies above the entire Abyss World."

Vita continued her explanation.

"These almost endless piles of debris and garbage also deter the native inhabitants of the Abyss World below from daring to fly out of their world. Anyone who dares to fly out, if their strength is below the Immortal level, will be directly killed by our technological weapons, and if their strength is above the Immortal level, they will be directly killed by the powerful Immortals patrolling here by our company."

"Over the years, very few Abyss Native have dared to fly out. Those immortals who are still alive are all those who were once terrified of being killed and beaten."

"Although they dare not fly out, they are extremely hostile to outsiders. Therefore, Your Highness, you will need to disguise yourself a little later. You should also slightly adjust your overall aura, the color and shape of your battle suit, and disguise yourself from the inside out as a native of the Abyss World. This will help you complete your mission."

"We have Mr. Vita now," Yang Yu said with a smile.

"Your Highness, you are too kind. This is what we should do." Vita waved his hand, and then a female World Lord walked over from behind him.

"Your Highness, I will now disguise you."

Ten minutes later.

Yang Yu's appearance and demeanor were completely different from before.

Yang Yu's original Purple Battle Suit has now turned into Dark Red Battle Suit, and his aura has been transformed into a rich Abyss Aura by a special substance.

At the same time, his appearance was also slightly modified, making him look no different from an ordinary Universe Level Abyss Native.

"Alright, Your Highness, the disguise is complete. You still need to be careful not to display any technological weapons or artifacts in the Abyss World. Conventional Spiritual Weapon and Force Weapon are fine to use, but if you reveal your technological weapons or your identity as an outsider, you must leave your original location as soon as possible."

Seeing that Yang Yu's disguise was complete, Vita immediately ordered the spaceship to continue into the Abyss World.

"Boom!"

After a roar, the silver-white spaceship passed through a laser scan and entered the Abyss World, flying towards the Star Continent 00001 while skimming through endless dust.

Inside the Spaceship Hall.

Vita continued to explain the mission details to Yang Yu.

"The Abyss World is extremely dangerous. Not only are the native powerful beings extremely hostile to outsiders, but the environment of the Abyss World is also very dangerous. If one is careless, even Immortal Expert could very likely perish."

"Your Highness, you must not be careless. If Your Highness encounter an opponent you cannot defeat, as long as you Your Highness to the Dust Layer, you will be out of danger. For countless years, the natives of the Abyss World have not dared to pursue you beyond the Dust Layer."

"Vita, Mr. Vita." Yang Yu listened attentively.

Half an hour later.

The silver-white spaceship hovered above an extremely vast continent.

"Your Highness, we have now arrived at Star Fragment No. 00001, also known as the Abyss Continent. We will wait for Your Highness here. Your Highness you have survived for a year or successfully obtained an Abyss Crystal, you can fly to the Dust Layer, and we will come to take you back."

"The time limit for this mission is one hundred years. If Your Highness has not returned after one hundred years and communication with the Virtual Universe has been lost, we will assume that you have perished. If you have not perished, you can return to the base camp by yourself in a spaceship after you escape."

Vita said with a smile.

"If Your Highness has any further questions, you can consult us at any time through the Virtual Universe. For the next hundred years, ten of us will serve you Your Highness."

During the mission briefing, Yang Yu also exchanged Virtual Universe IDs with Vita and the others for future communication.

"Vita, Mr. Vita. I'll be going now." Yang Yu smiled slightly and then jumped down from the open hatch of the spaceship.
