Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 137 Breakthrough

"Junior brother?"

Seeing Yang Wu standing there, Latte quickly said with concern, "What's there to consider? Most people whose lifespans are nearing their end are quite insane! He attacked you this time, and even if you let him go, he'll still attack others in the future!"

After hearing what Latte said, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Yang Wu's mind.

"Yes! That's Black Nether's nature. Whether in the simulator or in reality, he always had ulterior motives when he approached me. Because he didn't achieve his goal, he immediately became murderous."

"The purpose of the time simulator is to allow me to avoid this risk!"

Suddenly, Yang Wu realized something.

The simulator itself is designed to make one's path to becoming a stronger being smoother.

Those simulated experiences were meant to serve as reminders for Yang Wu, helping him avoid potential dangers in the future.

If there were no simulator, the experience in the simulator would most likely be Yang Wu's own experience, so why can't it be regarded as a real experience?

Take the matter of Hei Ming this time, for example. In the final analysis, it was because Hei Ming himself was wicked. If he had never intended to harm Yang Wu, then it would have been irrelevant whether Yang Wu became his disciple or not.

The existence of the simulator was simply to give Yang Wu some advance preparation.

Having figured this out, Yang Wu felt instantly enlightened, and even his state of mind improved somewhat.

At that moment, Latte suddenly noticed that something seemed to have changed about Yang Wu, and even the Realm Lord Gray Flame and the Domain Lord Black Nether both looked at Yang Wu.

Suddenly, a strange fluctuation emanated from Yang Wu's body.

Suddenly, a magical scene appeared around Yang Wu: flames flickered and firelight shone.

Eighth level of the Flame Domain!

As early as after the last simulation, Yang Wu's understanding of the seventh level of the Flame Domain had reached an extremely profound level.

Afterwards, Yang Wu obtained many secret methods for comprehending the domain and laws of fire from his teacher Jin Guanghou and his senior brother Latte. With mutual verification, he had long been on the verge of a breakthrough.

Logically speaking, given Yang Wu's comprehension, he should have broken through long ago.

However, ever since the last simulation ended, Yang Wu has been preoccupied with the cause of his death during the simulation.

Only today has this matter truly come to a close, and Yang Wu's state of mind has even made some small progress.

Therefore, comprehending the eighth realm is a natural progression!

However, the three people standing nearby, including Latte, were unaware of these things.

"This...this is...the eighth level of the Domain?" The three of them stared at Yang Wu in shock.

The three of them, including Latte, had all comprehended the Flame Domain, while Gray Flame had already gained recognition from the Flame Law, so naturally he wouldn't mistake the fluctuations of the eighth level of the Flame Domain.

But that's simply impossible!

Over the past six months, Yang Wu has been gradually revealing the seven realms of his mastery that he has acquired in the simulator.

Shortly after the Qianwu Auction, Yang Wu demonstrated the sixth level of his domain, and a few months later, he demonstrated the seventh level.

In less than half a year, he was able to break through to the first level of the domain. Although such speed was incredibly amazing, it was still acceptable to everyone.

But what does this mean?

It's been less than a month since Yang Wu last "broke through" to the seventh level of the domain!

How could he possibly break through?

The three of them, including Latte, consisted of one Realm Lord, two Domain Lords, and even the weakest of them had reached the eighth level of the Flame Domain. It was precisely because of this that they understood how unbelievable this matter was!

The realm has nine levels, each one more difficult than the last. Although every three levels is a minor bottleneck, the difficulty of breaking through from the seventh to the eighth level is definitely greater than that of breaking through from the sixth to the seventh level.

It took Yang Wu several months to break through from the sixth level to the seventh level, but now, he has broken through to the eighth level just like that?

"How could he possibly have broken through to the eighth level of the Domain?"

The one who found Yang Wu's breakthrough the most unacceptable was actually the Domain Lord Hei Ming, who was most familiar with Yang Wu.

Hei Ming had cultivated diligently for 900,000 years and had only reached the eighth level of the realm. Yet a mere Heng Xing star, who had been born for less than a hundred years, had already surpassed his 900,000 years of arduous cultivation. How could he possibly accept this?

"Could he have been possessed by another powerful being?" Hei Ming muttered to himself.

"It's not possession! Young friend Yang Wu's soul and body are perfectly integrated; he has absolutely not been possessed!"

Gray Flame was also extremely shocked by Yang Wu's cultivation speed.

As the Lord of the Realm, he possessed incredibly powerful world energy, and had already examined Yang Wu's entire body countless times.

The more he investigated, the more alarmed he became.

Because Yang Wu's entire body was perfectly normal!

"Young friend Yang Wu was able to break through to the eighth level of the Domain entirely due to his own comprehension. His comprehension is truly astonishing!"

"In my more than three million years of life, I have never seen such a genius! Even the champion of all previous Universal Genius Tournaments is probably no more than this!"

With his limited knowledge, Ash naturally couldn't distinguish between Yang Wu and the peerless genius ranked number one in the universe. Both of them were far beyond his reach!

"Young friend Yang Wu, you possess such astonishing comprehension at such a young age. As long as you don't perish, breaking through to the Immortal realm is practically a certainty!"

Ash did not say this last sentence to his face.

While marveling at the situation, he was already thinking about how to improve his relationship with Yang Wu in the future.

Such a peerless genius, who cultivated from the fifth level to the eighth level in less than a year, will surely become a famous figure throughout the vast universe, as long as he doesn't perish along the way.

As for the latte, he was overjoyed at that moment.

After all, Yang Wu is now his junior brother, and he was personally recommended to his father. The higher Yang Wu's talent, the greater his chance of breaking through to immortality!

Yang Wu was fully aware of the changes in the expressions of the three people, including Latte.

After breaking through to the eighth level, he quickly realized what was happening.

As for Ash using the power of the world to probe his body, Yang Wu still felt nothing. After all, the difference between a Star-level being and a World Lord was simply too great.

However, even if he knew, Yang Wu wouldn't be worried in the slightest.

Because apart from the time simulator, there was nothing unusual about Yang Wu.

As for the time simulator, even the strongest being in the universe, who was once a god-king, would probably not be able to find out anything about Yang Wu.

"Goodbye, Senior Black Nether!"

Although he broke through to the eighth level of the Flame Domain by chance, Yang Wu never intended to let Hei Ming go.

After all, if it weren't for the other party, he might have already comprehended the law in the last simulation.

Hearing Yang Wu's words, Hei Ming knew his fate. He laughed loudly and said, "Haha, to die at the hands of a peerless genius like young friend Yang Wu, my life will not have been in vain!"

Yang Wu nodded, then bowed slightly to the Realm Lord Grayflame beside him and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Senior Grayflame!"

"No trouble at all! No trouble at all!"

Gray Flame's attitude towards Yang Wu is now completely different from before.

The power of the world spread, and the Domain Lord Hei Ming instantly lost his life.

Then, a flame appeared out of nowhere and burned the corpse left behind by Hei Ming to ashes.

As for where Black Nether originally stood, only two spatial rings remained.

None of Yang Wu and his two companions paid much attention to these spoils, which probably amounted to less than a hundred billion cosmic coins in total.

In the end, it was Grayflame who put the two spatial rings away.

"Junior brother, what are you planning to do next?" Latte asked with a smile.

Yang Wu calmly replied, "Of course, I'll return to Flaming Mountain to continue my cultivation!"

"Damn, do we really have to work this hard?!" Latte said helplessly.

Yang Wu had just broken through to the eighth level of the realm, and Latte thought he was going to take a break for a while.

In fact, Latte has worked extremely hard in his cultivation, otherwise he wouldn't have reached the ninth level in less than 20,000 years.

But when he first broke through to the eighth level of the realm, he went to the capital star of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire to relax for a full three years!
