"Finally, I can go and take on Desperate Level Mission!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

Since ten years ago, Yang Wu has been diligently cultivating in his manor on the Wuchen Continent. However, because he did not start the simulation after the last simulation attempt was refreshed, his progress in strength has slowed down considerably.

Since Yang Wu received guidance from the Nine Sword Venerable and comprehended a kind of Space Essence, twenty years have passed and he has only barely grasped the basics of a new Space Essence.

However, after ten years of study, Yang Wu successfully replaced his original Flame Sun Boots with the Sky-Stepping Boots, thus achieving a preliminary mastery of the <Nine Steps of Sky-Stepping>.

When Yang Wu used the Sky-Stepping Boots to perform the "Nine Steps of Sky-Stepping," he was able to fully unleash all his insights into the Law of Space.

This also greatly improved Yang Wu's burst speed and ability to change direction.

Just now, Yang Wu's Yan God Race Clone has been successfully conceived, and he can finally accept the Desperate Level Mission according to his plan.

With this in mind, Yang Wu immediately connected his consciousness to the Virtual Universe, opened the virtual screen in his room, and began selecting a cultivation task.

"Extreme Level!" Yang Wu clicked without hesitation.

"Beep--beep--"

A piercing sound immediately emanated from the screen.

"Yang Wu, I solemnly remind you, this is Desperate Level Mission. Many members of my Virtual Universe Company from the Primal Secret Region Member and the Taichu Secret Realm have lost their lives in these Desperate Level Mission."

"Desperate Level Mission have a minimum mortality rate of 90%! I suggest you go through a few Qualification Battle before accepting desperate missions!"

"To go back, please select Cancel; to continue accepting the mission, please select Confirm. Once confirmed, you can no longer go back."

Electronic sounds echoed continuously in the room.

Yang Wu smiled slightly and quickly clicked the "OK" button.

Qualification Battle?

With Yang Wu's current cultivation speed, coupled with the assistance of the Simulator, if he's lucky, it's highly likely that he'll be able to pass through the Universe Level Original Tongtian Mountain before the first Qualification Battle.

After all, in the previous two simulations, Yang Wu chose to stay at the Universe Level for two thousand years in order to fuse with the Xueluo Crystal.

When the next simulation begins, Yang Wu might break through to the Domain Lord Level or even the World Lord Level very quickly. In that case, his cultivation speed will definitely increase a lot, and he will be able to comprehend the Law Essence more quickly.

Moreover, given Yang Wu's current overall strength, he has already surpassed most of the Domain Lord in the Core Layer of the Virtual Universe Company, making it extremely easy for him to undertake such a Universe Level mission.

If even someone as strong as Yang Wu can perish in this Desperate Level Mission, then this desperate mission is no longer just a 90% mortality rate.

In fact, if Yang Wu hadn't planned to explore the secrets contained within the Desperate Level Mission, he wouldn't have even needed to wait for the Yan God Race Clone to be successfully conceived.

"Drop!"

"Yang Wu, as Primal Secret Region Member, you can choose from a maximum of three Desperate Level Mission. Please choose carefully!"

The following is a list of Desperate Level Mission:

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

2. Cloud Palace (Giant Axe Fighting Arena, God Origin Secret Realm);

8. The Demon 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: The Blood Drop Secret Realm).

Yang Wu looked at the mission list. There were a total of 186 Dangerous Level Mission in various secret realms, but only 18 were of the Desperate Level Mission, and only four of them belonged to the Virtual Universe Company. Among them, there were two Primal Secret Region, one Taichu Secret Realm, and one Heaven and Earth Secret Realm.

In fact, the Demon Sound Divine General Inheritance in the Demon Mountain Mission is considered an extremely good opportunity in the universe.

Although Yang Wu is not Spiritual Master, Soul Amplitude still plays a significant role in the defense of the soul.

To become a top-tier expert, one must not only possess extremely powerful skills, but also have no obvious weaknesses!

In the original story, the Limit King Level -level expert, King Jihong, who was once enslaved by Luo Feng's Soul Enslavement, could absolutely rival the attack power of an ordinary Invincible King Level expert when using the 'Purple Bell' to unleash secret techniques. However, he could not be called Invincible King Level because his other weaknesses were too obvious.

Moreover, the difficulty of Yang Wu's cultivation of the <Flame Crystal Nine Refinement Body> demonstrates just how rare amplitude-type secret techniques are!

Even so, it was only because Yang Wu belonged to a top-tier race that it was extremely difficult for ordinary races in the universe to obtain such precious amplitude-type secret techniques.

Yang Wu had cultivated in the Simulator for over a thousand years before finally succeeding in the first level of the <Flame Crystal Nine Refinement Body>, achieving an amplitude of only twice as high.

But if one could receive the Demon Sound Divine General Inheritance, one could achieve Soul Amplitude dozens of times greater in just a few years. How could such an opportunity not be tempting?

Unfortunately, in order to obtain even greater potential, Yang Wu's first Clone chose a life form from the Yan God Race.

Given Yang Wu's current strength, there is absolutely no way he can break through the encirclement of those Immortal Level Illusion Beast.

He naturally missed out on Demon Sound Divine General Inheritance.

But Yang Wu had no regrets about his choice. If he had chosen to nurture Mosha Clan Clone for the sake of the Demon Sound Divine General Inheritance, that would have been 'picking up a sesame seed and losing a watermelon.'

Soul-type amplification can be cultivated later, but the potential of the Yan God Race Clone is something Yang Wu desperately needs.

As for the two future Clone, they will become Yang Wu's powerful combat force, and naturally he will not waste them for the sake of the Demon Sound Divine General Inheritance.

"In that case, let's go to the Glory Secret Realm of the Universe Mercenary Alliance!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

In the Glory Secret Realm of the Universe Mercenary Alliance, there is only one Desperate Level Mission, which is the 'Dead Star' mission, ranked 12th.

This training mission, called 'Dead Star', consists of three tasks, each of which rewards 100,000 points.

The reward of 300,000 points doesn't even rank in the top ten among many Desperate Level Mission.

However, near that Dead Star stood an enormous palace, which was called the 'Huang Jian Divine Palace' by countless powerful figures in the Glory Secret Realm.

Others didn't know what this name meant, but Yang Wu did: the Lord of Huang Jian was the leader of the Universe Mercenary Alliance.

Perhaps besides other Desperate Level Mission, there are other Universe Master guarding them, but with Yang Wu's current authority, he simply cannot find any information belonging to these Universe Masters, including their names.

Therefore, after reading through all the introductions to the Desperate Level Mission, Yang Wu could only think of the Universe Master had appeared in the original work.

The Lord of Huang Jian of the Universe Mercenary Alliance is one of the most famous among them.

First, Lord of Huang Jian is the leader of the three Universe Masters in the Universe Mercenary Alliance. Moreover, Lord of Huang Jian is a Universe Master with numerous Clones.

Including its main body, the Lord of Huang Jian possesses a total of four bodies, making it extremely powerful.

Since the Lord of Huang Jian can guard outside the Dead Star, the Dead Star must be extremely important to the Universe Mercenary Alliance.

"It will take about two years to travel from the Primal Secret Region to the Glory Secret Realm," Yang Wu thought to himself. "But it's worth it, considering that the Huang Jian Divine Palace can be stationed near the Dead Star, which speaks volumes!"

Then, Yang Wu gently tapped the screen.

"Drop!"

"Please confirm acceptance of the Dead Star training mission."

"Received successfully."

"Please fill in your departure time. Virtual Universe Company will arrange for someone to take you to the Dead Star."

The Dead Star is an ancient and mysterious star in the Glory Secret Realm, which ranks highest in the Universe Mercenary Alliance, and it floats in the void.

Although it is called a star, the Dead Star has a diameter of 30 billion kilometers, making it an extremely large celestial body in the universe.

It's important to understand that even the tens of thousands of Primitive Star that appear only once every countless years, closest to the Origin Land of the Universe, are only a hundred billion kilometers in diameter.

The Dead Star was born in the Glory Secret Realm and is shrouded in extremely rich Cosmic Energy year-round, making the life on this planet incredibly powerful.

There are three Dead Star missions:

1. Survive on the Dead Star for three years; success will earn you 100,000 points.

2. Obtain the complete set of ten Origin Crystal (a specialty of the Dead Star). Success will earn you 100,000 points.

3. Obtain any one of the Origin Gem (a specialty of the Dead Star). Success will earn you 100,000 points.

Yang Wu looked at the descriptions of the Dead Star mission and pondered them deeply.

"Origin Crystal? Origin Gem? Perhaps the secrets of the Dead Star lie within this Origin Gem!"

Most of the Desperate Level Mission are very ordinary 'survival missions' and 'collection missions', while the Normal Level and Dangerous Level Mission are the ones with requirements such as 'hunting'.

After all, in Desperate Level Mission, the trial participants encounter many dangers, including the environment itself, which can hinder their success in completing the mission.

After receiving the mission, Yang Wu set the date for five days later because he needed to make some preparations before heading to the Dead Star.

Five days later.

A spaceship arrived in Yang Wu's territory. This was the spaceship arranged by the Virtual Universe Company to take him to the Glory Secret Realm of the Universe Mercenary Alliance.

A lean old man with silver scales covering his face stepped out of the spaceship. He had a smile on his face and exuded an aura of eternal Immortal.

Upon closer inspection, Yang Wu discovered that the lean old man was none other than Luo En, the Immortal God who had escorted him to the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters on Laiyin Planet more than a hundred years ago.

"Your Highness Yang Wu." The lean old man, Luo En, now had bright eyes, and his voice was even more respectful than when he first met Yang Wu.

"What a coincidence!" Yang Wu, fully armed, said with a smile upon seeing Luo En, "It seems I'll have to trouble you again, Mr. Luo En!"

"Your Highness is too kind!" the lean old man, Luo En, said with a smile. "This is simply my duty! Moreover, it is my honor to have such a connection with Your Highness!"

Actually, it was no coincidence that Luo En came to pick up Yang Wu and take him to the Glory Secret Realm.

For the past 100,000 years, Luo En's task within the Virtual Universe Company has been to transport some of the company's important members.

Originally, it was a friend of Luo En who was supposed to escort Yang Wu to the Glory Secret Realm, but after learning about this, he had to pay a considerable price to get the mission in return.

Changing missions, especially for a peerless genius like Yang Wu, is quite troublesome.

Fortunately, Luo En had a good relationship with his friend, and his performance evaluations within the company had always been excellent. Even so, he paid the price of nearly a thousand Hunyuan Unit.

An ordinary Immortal God in the universe has a total asset of only ten thousand Hunyuan Unit.

As a member of the Virtual Universe Company, Luo En possesses considerable strength, and his wealth naturally surpasses that of Ordinary Immortal.

But nearly a thousand Hunyuan Unit, which is almost one percent of all the cash he has on him.

Luo En went to such great lengths to secure the task of transporting Yang Wu in order to cultivate a good relationship with Yang Wu beforehand.

Over the past hundred years, much news about Yang Wu has greatly shocked Luo En.

More than a hundred years ago, when Luo En first took Yang Wu to the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters, he had already realized Yang Wu's extraordinary nature, so he was very polite to Yang Wu along the way.

But what he didn't expect was that Yang Wu's extraordinary abilities were yet to come!

During his thirty years in Chaos City, Yang Wu first passed the sixth level of the Heavenly Bridge, then became a disciple of the Nine Sword Venerable, and finally passed the ninth level of the Heavenly Bridge when he left Chaos City.

Luo En had participated in Universe Level Strongest Battle before, so he understood better what Yang Wu's cultivation speed meant.

Ron was originally the master of the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, and after a long period of cultivation, he finally broke through to the Immortal Realm. But now, tens of millions of years have passed, and his understanding of the laws has only reached the thirteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven.

As for Yang Wu, he only had thirty years of cultivation before he passed the ninth level of the Heavenly Bridge!

With such talent, as long as he doesn't perish, reaching the Peak King Level in the future will be no problem at all.

More importantly, Yang Wu is a direct disciple of the Nine Sword Venerable! The Nine Sword Venerable has dozens of King Rank experts under his command, making him one of the top executives in the Virtual Universe Company.

Once Yang Wu becomes King-Level Immortal, he will wield considerable power within the Virtual Universe Company! And if Luo En can cultivate a good relationship with Yang Wu beforehand, he will undoubtedly benefit greatly in the future.

If Luo En had known earlier that Yang Wu's talent was so extraordinary, he would have warmly befriended Yang Wu the first time they met.

Every time news of Yang Wu reached Luo En's ears, he felt a pang of regret.

Fortunately, the opportunity has returned, which is why Luo En paid a considerable price to secure the mission of picking up and dropping off Yang Wu.

"Your Highness, please board the spaceship!" the lean old man Luo En, said respectfully.

"Okay!" Yang Wu nodded and, led by Luo En, entered the spaceship. The hatch closed and the spaceship began to slowly ascend.

"Respectfully seeing off Your Highness!"

Led by Field, the Guard Army Leader, numerous Guard Army and servants bowed in salute.

Whoosh!

The spaceship's speed soared, and it quickly left the Wuchen Space-Time. After accelerating to the speed of light in a specially cleared area, it began its Cosmic Shuttle and entered the Dark Universe.
