Chapter 1381: Breakthrough and New Beginnings(12)

What led to the birth of the Hanswan wasn't a surprise but a fully calculated task by all the Swan groups. The Swan group doesn't have much say in the beast group, and it had a terrifying enemy in the form of another bird race.

Since that enemy was the sub-group of a powerful race in the beast group, the Swans were left with no choice but to take a risk.

Before the risk, the strongest member in the group was Rotten Swan, a Sacred Monarch level being and also the leader of the Swan group.

After doing countless hours of research, the first Hanswan was finally born with the ability to control six elements. The element of decay directly came from the Rotten Swan, the strongest of the group.

The Hanswan didn't disappoint the Swans, and it became the first Sacred Creator of the race, making the Swan group no longer fear their former enemy.

But unfortunately, when it seemed that the Swans had a strong leader, the elements became out of control, starting with the element of decay. It not only caused the death of the Hanswan but also caused numerous losses to the Swan group.

After the tragedy, the Swan group no longer had a being in the Sacred group, with their leader being a peak Supreme God level creature. At the same time, a curse seemed to have affected the race as well. Whenever any of the Swan members reached the Sacred King level, a decaying curse began to affect them, ending only when the beast died.

Laney couldn't help but become shocked when she heard the story of Hanswan from Aakesh's mouth. At the same time, she was terrified about the situation with the beast in her card going out of control.

"You don't need to worry about the Hanswan going out of control. It is no longer a defective creation," Aakesh expressionlessly said, understanding the thoughts going on inside Laney's head.

Laney nodded and immediately felt relieved since Aakesh's assurance was more than enough. She then requested Aakesh to complete the purchase.

"You need to pay one thousand two hundred ultimate and one higher Sacred stone," Aakesh expressionlessly informed Laney, returning the beast card.

Laney nodded since she was immediately met with an alert ringing in her head.

"The beast is yours from now on," Aakesh informed Laney after the system notified him of the successful payment.

Laney thanked Aakesh and then walked toward the skill room. Since it wasn't her first time buying skills from the store, she already knew things she needed to know about the product.

When Laney walked into the room, she was greeted with the familiar sight of numerous murals, seven counters, and the semi-pillar. Similar to the beast room, the number of customers inside the skill room had grown as well.

There were more than fifty customers alone on the counter for the True God level skills, whereas the number was exponentially higher for the counters for lower cultivations.

Since Laney didn't lack money at the moment, she decided to go for God level skills of each type. The last time she had come to the room was when she reached the Divine Lord cultivation level, and at that time, she didn't have enough money to go for Emperor or God level skills.

Laney could also go for an upgrade of the skills she had already purchased from the store, but Laney decided to leave that to luck. If she found a better skill, she would purchase it, and if the upgrade was better, she would buy it.

Laney decided to start with the attacking type skills since the bottom row was for that type. She immediately reached for the last shelf in the bottom row when she arrived at the counter.

The next moment, when she pulled her hand out, there was a skill card in it. It was an attacking skill related to the element of metal. She read the details but didn't like them much, so she returned the card and pulled a new one out.

[Name: Graviton Vortex

Type: Attack

Level: God

Cultivation Level: Early to Peak True God

Effect: Unleashes a devastating gravitational vortex that crushes and disintegrates adversaries

Description: The user taps into the fundamental essence of gravity to summon a cataclysmic gravitational vortex that obliterates adversaries with unstoppable force. This skill transforms the user into a harbinger of gravitational annihilation, unleashing a maelstrom of destructive energy.

The activation of the skill demands profound understanding and control over the element of gravity. It places a considerable strain on the user's spiritual energy and physique, demanding precise control to maintain the skill.

Price: Two hundred supreme Sacred stones.]

The skill was related to the element of gravity and had the capability to cause intense destruction. It was what Laney required from an attacking skill, so an immediate decision had been formed in her mind. She would buy the [Graviton Vortex].

It was only her second try, but Laney trusted her intuition and didn't need any more skills to confirm her choice.

Considering things like that, she moved to the next row belonging to defensive type skills. She reached for the last shelf in the row and pulled a skill card out.

Laney read the details on the card and wasn't impressed, so she returned it. Laney kept trying to grab a card she would like, but for the next several minutes, she failed in her attempt.

[Name: Bastion Ward

Type: Defense

Level: God

Cultivation Level: Early to Peak True God

Effect: Constructs an impervious bastion of unyielding metal that shields against all forms of harm

Description: The user channels the indomitable essence of metal to create an impervious bastion of unyielding metal that offers unparalleled defense against all forms of harm. This skill forms a protective barrier of impenetrable metal that envelops the user, rendering them virtually invulnerable to attacks.

The activation of Bastion Ward demands mastery over the element of metal and precise control over the bastion's dynamics.

Price: Three hundred fifty supreme Sacred stones.]

Laney finally found a skill that could complement her favorite skill, the one she used to defeat the beast.
