Swallowing the Stars: Equipment Slots, Starting with a Genius Battle

Chapter 74 Fourth Equipment Selection

Ye Feng shifted his gaze from the golden giant egg in the sky, "Freeing up three Blood Crystal equipment slots won't be easy for now."

The solidification time, which can easily reach hundreds of thousands or tens of millions of epochs, cannot be completed in a short time, even with tempering one's will and accelerating the process by fusing with the Blood Crystal by 1000 times or even 10000 times.

"Once my willpower reaches a level or two higher, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of times stronger, I will then hone the ability to accelerate the solidification time of the Blood Crystal in the three equipment slots."

"Right now, completing the 'Cosmic Chaos Monument' task for Master Chaos is the most important thing."

Composing himself, Ye Feng began to plan the item for the last equipment slot. He currently had two choices: the Beast God Statue and the Realm Lord-level Demon Slayer skin.

Ye Feng first looked at a piece of skin covered with golden secret patterns. The skin emitted a faint spatial law aura fluctuation, which was the skin of the Space Darling, the World Lord level Demon Killer Clan.

[Equipable Item: Realm Lord-level Demon Slayer Clan Skin]

Equipment effect: Increases the speed of comprehending the laws of spatial origin by 2 times. Masters the secret technique of copying talents.

Note: The effect is permanently fixed after 100 years of use. Comprehending the fundamental laws of space or using spatial laws in combat can reduce the duration of the effect.

The other is a 30-centimeter-tall statue, made of neither gold nor jade, depicting a lizard-dragon-like creature roaring to the sky; it is a statue of a beast god.

[Equipable Item: Beast God Statue]

Equipment effect: Increases the fusion comprehension of the Gold and Void Origin Laws by 88%, and increases the cultivation efficiency of the Gold and Void Beast God Path by 8 times.

Note: The effect is permanently fixed after 2000 epochs. Actively comprehending the secret techniques and essence of the laws of the Beast God can shorten the fixation time.

This statue was chosen by Ye Feng from among the 15 Beast God statues. It contained the highest level of understanding of the fusion of the laws of metal and space, with 88% of the understanding of the fusion of the laws of metal and space. It was a significant improvement over the one Yuan west had given him.

Once you reach 80%, another 8% higher would be at least one level above the level of the Sky Bridge.

As Ye Feng's talent and strength improve, the effects and duration of the items he can equip decrease accordingly.

The Demon Slayer Clan's skin, which originally required 1000 years to solidify, has had its comprehension speed of the fundamental laws of space increased fivefold, reduced to 100 years.

The annual solidification time increases the speed of comprehension by 2 times.

The Beast God Statue, which originally required 10000 epochs to increase the cultivation efficiency of the Beast God Path by 10 times, has been reduced to 2000 epochs, with the increase efficiency decreasing to 8 times.

As for the secret technique he had just obtained from Master Jiujian—"Return to Origin Sword"—Ye Feng automatically ignored it.

[Equipable Item: The Sword of Return to Origin]

Equipment effect: Learn the ultimate technique of the universe overlord, possess 10 burst stacking nodes, each stacking node can bear a power (the power of the original laws of each element), stacking and bursting.

Note: Equipped in the 2nd Era, the effect is permanently fixed. Actively studying "The Sword of Return to Origin" can shorten the fixation time.

Equipping the Returning to Origin Sword grants 10 stacked node amplifications. Each node carries a fundamental energy of a law, and its power can be unleashed without requiring effort to fuse them.

In theory, if Ye Feng comprehends the ten fundamental laws sufficiently and mobilizes their energy, the combined power of the ten fundamental laws would increase exponentially to 512 times.

The prerequisite is that Ye Feng's understanding of the 10 fundamental laws has reached a certain level, and he can call upon enough fundamental law energy.

Ye Feng has now almost fully comprehended the fundamental law of fire, but is far from mastering the fundamental law of space, and is just starting out with the fundamental law of metal. He hasn't even gained recognition from the laws yet. All he has are three fundamental law energies. The ten stacking nodes he obtained after equipping the items are useless; they can't unleash their full power.

Moreover, his current focus is on cultivating the laws of nature, and the most important thing is to pass through the Primordial Heavenly Mountain of the Realm Lord within a thousand years. For the next piece of equipment, he will only choose between the Demon Slayer Clan skin and the Beast God Statue.

Which one should I equip?

Ye Feng hesitated slightly.

With their current resources, even if they only have the Demon Slayer Clan skin, they are confident that they can pass through the Primal Tongtian Mountain, a Realm Lord level, within the agreed-upon thousand-year timeframe.

While the effect of equipping the Demon Slayer skin is far inferior to that of the Beast God Statue, it is superior in that it is lightweight and convenient, and the solidification time is only 100 years, so it will not lock the equipment slot for a long time.

If you equip the "Beast God Statue", you can easily pass through the Primal Tongtian Mountain at the World Lord level, but it will lock the equipment slot. Its fixation time has been reduced from 1 epochs at the cosmic level to 2000 epochs, a reduction of more than half, but it is still too long.

Even if one comprehends the Way of the Beast God and can accelerate the solidification effect by 1000 times, it will still take 2 eras to empty the equipment slots.

Moreover, the path of fusing laws in the Path of the Beast God is a hundred times more difficult than the Path of Time and Space. The acceleration effect is likely only a hundred or so times, and it will take 20 epochs or even longer.

During this period, his four equipment slots will be locked. No matter how powerful the treasures he obtains, he can only look at them helplessly, unless he gives up the efficiency advantage of the Realm Lord in comprehending the laws and breaks through to immortality.

"I should be careful with the last empty slot in my equipment inventory. Equipping the Beast God Statue takes too long. I'll equip the Demon Slayer skin first."

After some thought, Ye Feng decided to leave himself some room to change his clothes.

Equipping the Demon Slayer skin will further enhance the already excellent spatial origin law talent by 2 times, accelerating the efficiency of comprehending the spatial law.

During this period, comprehending the fundamental laws of space can accelerate the solidification process. Based on previous experience with similar equipment, the solidification process, which would normally take 100 years, could be accelerated to a few years or even longer.

With his talent, coupled with the secret technique of being the "darling of the Demon Slayer Clan's Space," his cultivation speed in the laws has reached a new level. Within a thousand years, passing the 18th level of the Tongtian Bridge will not be too difficult. At the level of the 18th level of the Tongtian Bridge, one can attempt to challenge the Primal Tongtian Mountain at the level of a Realm Lord. At the level of the 19th level, one will likely pass, and at the 20th level, one will definitely pass.

Furthermore, Ye Feng did not stagnate during these thousand years. He hunted in the outer battlefields and obtained treasures and resources, which could be exchanged for equipment.

Even if we assume that we fail to pass the deadline, it's not too late to equip the Beast God Statue; we'll still have the initiative.

"I'll equip the Demon Slayer skin first!" Ye Feng made up his mind.

With a thought, he put away the Beast God Statue, focused his consciousness on his equipment slot, and decisively equipped the newly acquired "World Lord-level Demon Slayer Skin".

The moment the equipment is completed—

"Buzz—!"

A strange fluctuation originating from the universe's top spatial darling, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly rippled out from the depths of Ye Feng's life core. A mysterious and unpredictable golden rune, as if it possessed life, spread out from the core of his life core, quickly covering the entire surface of his life core, forming a flowing scroll full of spatial rhythm.

Ye Feng was jolted, feeling as if the whole world had changed.

Their already keen spatial perception was amplified several times over. The omnipresent spatial laws of the universe appeared in a clearer form, as clearly discernible as the lines on a palm.

It is no less impressive than his previous understanding of the laws in the initial universe.

A darling of the space.

Equipping this skin instantly granted Ye Feng the core spatial affinity of the Demon Slayer Clan.
