Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 134 Fiery Boots

In the vast universe, countless great beings have created Force weapons and psychic weapons, whether for their own descendants, for their own amusement, or for competition with others. These weapons are as numerous as the sands of the Ganges.

Over time, nine incredibly powerful fifth-tier psychic weapons emerged from countless other psychic weapons within the lineage of psychic masters, and were subsequently known as the Nine Divine Weapons of the Masters.

Of these nine weapons, eight were created by combining one of the eight fundamental laws of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, and light with one of the two superior laws of "space" or "time".

The last of the nine divine weapons was forged by combining the two most profound fundamental laws: "time" and "space".

As time went by, the story of the Nine Divine Weapons of the Spirit Masters spread more and more widely throughout the universe, gaining an astonishing reputation.

The number of powerful cultivators in the universe who practice martial arts is no less than, and may even be greater than, that of spiritual practitioners. Therefore, some powerful cultivators from the martial arts lineage also want to select the Nine Divine Weapons of Martial Arts.

Force weapons and telekinetic weapons are naturally somewhat different.

Telekinetic weapons are controlled by mental energy, and their form can be freely changed without significantly affecting their power.

However, since the weapons of the Force are different, martial artists either practice spear techniques or sword techniques... and use different weapons.

Although most Force weapons can change shape, the runes engraved on them cannot be changed. If a sword-shaped Force weapon is forcibly transformed into a gun shape using Force, the weapon itself will still have sword runes engraved on it, so its power will be greatly reduced.

As a result, it is very difficult for any Force weapon to gain the approval of most martial arts practitioners, regardless of the specific system of laws.

After all, even among all martial artists in the universe, the number of users of any mainstream Force weapon is only a small fraction.

Finally, many powerful figures in the martial arts lineage stopped insisting on selecting the nine divine weapons that were on par with the nine divine weapons controlled by them.

Therefore, all those weapons with power similar to the nine divine weapons of the controller are collectively referred to as martial arts divine weapons.

Even so, over countless years, only a few dozen martial arts weapons have gained the recognition of many powerful figures.

The "Overlord Spear" currently being auctioned is a true divine weapon for martial artists.

The Overlord Spear was forged by a supreme human powerhouse by combining the two laws of 'fire' and 'space'. Its power is similar to the nine divine weapons wielded by its user, and it has nine forms, each more powerful than the last. Of course, the difficulty of controlling it also increases with each form.

Such a divine weapon for martial arts is both the strongest and the weakest.

They are the strongest because they possess an upper limit that other fifth-tier Force weapons cannot match;

They are the weakest because they are too difficult to use. If one's understanding of the laws is insufficient, it is not as effective as using other ordinary force weapons.

Even for a ninth-tier cosmic-level expert, it would be extremely difficult to unleash the first level of a martial arts divine weapon without comprehending the laws.

"Overlord Spear!"

Yang Wu looked at the Overlord Spear being auctioned with a hint of eagerness in his eyes.

The second-tier Force weapon he's currently using, the 'Fire Dragon Spear,' is already capable of unleashing its full power. Yang Wu had been considering buying a better Force weapon, but now he no longer needed to.

"That's it!"

Yang Wu immediately began quoting prices.

His flame domain is about to reach the eighth level. Once he comprehends the laws of flame, he will be able to unleash the first level form of the Overlord Spear, which is far superior to other psychic weapons.

Meanwhile, the auction price of the Overlord Spear on the screen was soaring, with the eighth bid displayed on the side of the screen.

8000 billion... 9200 billion... 10800 billion...

Yang Wu remained calm. It wasn't the time for him to make a bid yet. He had enough funds and there was no need to act too early.

After a short while, the rate of price increase finally slowed down.

21900 billion... 22000 billion... 22300 billion...

"23000 trillion!" Yang Wu entered his bid on the black token.

Finally, the number on the screen settled at 22900 trillion. And Yang Wu successfully obtained a divine weapon for martial artists, the Overlord Spear.

"Congratulations, customer with bid number KNY76278, you have won the bid for the Overlord Spear. Please be prepared to sign the contract and make payment after this batch of auctions is completed."

Yang Wu looked at the line of text that appeared on the screen of the black token in his hand and couldn't help but feel happy.

About half an hour later, all one thousand items in this batch of auctions had been sold out.

Yang Wu also paid the auction price and agreed on the actual delivery location for the Overlord Spear.

Soon, the auction for the next batch of items began.

The appearance of various precious auction items broadened Yang Wu's horizons, allowing him to learn about many hidden information about the universe.

Moreover, among the auction items was the "Green Luo Fruit" that Yang Wu had once asked the First Bank of the Universe to purchase.

Unsurprisingly, even the highest auction price for the Green Luo Fruit couldn't match the offer Yang Wu received from the Universe's First Bank.

This made Yang Wu realize just how profitable distribution channels really are.

The auction continues...

Fruits of Life, Star-Eating Grass Seeds, and various powerful secret techniques...

There are some things that Yang Wu doesn't need and there's no need to buy them, but there are also some things that Yang Wu needs but can't afford!

This also made Yang Wu realize that the wealth of 100 Hunyuan units is simply not worth mentioning in this vast universe!

However, Yang Wu still encountered another treasure worth his attention.

"The next item up for auction is a fifth-tier Force Boots, the Flaming Boots, which are extremely well-suited to the fundamental laws of 'fire and space'."

Are you still troubled by the fact that you, as a martial artist, cannot keep up with a psychic? Are you still worried about your poor survival skills?

"Purchasing these Blazing Sun Boots will greatly enhance your agility. Mentalists fighting you will no longer be a threat; you can instantly close the distance and engage in melee combat."

"I don't need to say more about the fate of that mentalist who was brought into close combat by a powerful martial artist! Moreover, these Blazing Sun Boots also come with a matching training method that can help the user better comprehend the laws of space."

"Alright, enough chit-chat. The Fiery Boots and the accompanying training methods, three sets in total, starting at 20000 trillion cosmic coins, with each bid increasing by no less than 100 billion cosmic coins!"

As soon as Old Barto finished speaking, a chorus of voices rose and fell around Yang Wu.

"Why is this Blazing Sun Boot, which is only a fifth-tier Force combat boot, more expensive at auction than some martial arts divine weapons and the nine divine weapons of mental cultivators that were just auctioned?"

"You don't understand! Those weapons are for fighting, but these boots are for escaping. If used properly, they can save your life. Moreover, these Flaming Sun Boots actually contain spatial laws; even among fifth-tier Force boots, they're considered top-grade!"

Combat boots are equipment that assists martial artists in using movement techniques, similar to the flying weapons of mentalists.

Generally speaking, most Tier 5 Force Boots contain only one lower-level fundamental law. The best ones may contain two lower-level laws, but if they can contain one higher-level law, the price will naturally be even more astonishing.

A burly, imposing Realm Lord sitting to Yang Wu's left, seeing his somewhat tempted expression, couldn't help but whisper, "Young brother, you're not planning to buy these Blazing Sun Boots, are you?"

"To wield these Blazing Sun Boots effectively, one must comprehend a trace of the spatial laws contained within them. Those are high-level laws, and even world lords often fail to master them."

"Moreover, comprehending the laws of space is extremely time-consuming, and it may affect one's ability to comprehend lower-level laws. Many powerful realm lords with astonishing comprehension have wasted a great deal of their time because they were distracted by comprehending the two higher-level laws of space and time, resulting in them not even fully comprehending the lower-level laws, and regretting it when their lifespan came to an end."

"Therefore, I advise you, young man, to be more cautious and focus on mastering one subordinate principle!"

This reminder from the powerful realm lord was truly heartfelt; if one's comprehension is insufficient, the situation he described could very well occur.

Just like Luo, the commander of the Three Axe Mountain Army in the original work, he lost confidence in comprehending the origin of the Law of Light because he was distracted by comprehending the Law of Time.

However, Yang Wu was different from the others.

Firstly, his comprehension is quite good. Although he can't compare to peerless geniuses like Luo Feng and Hong, he is still easily among the top 1,000 geniuses in the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

Secondly, and most importantly, with the aid of the time simulator, Yang Wu could probably comprehend not only a spatial law, but also the two superior laws of time and space simultaneously without much difficulty.

"Thank you for the reminder, senior!" Yang Wu nodded with a smile and said, "What you said makes a lot of sense!"

The towering realm lord smiled slightly and nodded. For him, forging a good relationship with a young man with a powerful background was something to be happy about.

After thanking the other party, Yang Wu began to quote his price for the Flaming Boots.

In the end, Yang Wu spent 8.7 Mixed Yuan Units and successfully won the auction for a pair of Flaming Boots.
