Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 207 The True Spirit of Chaos

Chaos City, surrounded by chaotic energy.

On the rooftop of one of the cultivation dwellings in this ancient city, two figures sat cross-legged, a man and a woman.

These two people were Yang Wu and Qian Shui.

It has been almost a year since Yang Wu and his group arrived in Chaos City.

During this year, Yang and Wu cultivated separately, sometimes looking up at the sky, sometimes looking down to comprehend.

Of course, occasionally Qian Shui would ask Yang Wu some questions during his free time.

Yang Wu completely comprehended the first diagram of the Nine Universes Chaos Stele by analyzing the origin and essence of the laws of space. It can be said that his understanding of the first diagram even surpassed that of many Marquis Immortals and Guiding Thousand Waters in their early cultivation, so there was naturally no problem with that.

That day, Yang Wu suddenly stopped his meditation and sat cross-legged there quietly waiting.

As time continues to pass, the time in the original universe is approaching August 1, 2077, Earth time.

If Yang Wu hadn't come to this initial universe where the flow of time is relatively slow, the number of simulations on the time simulator in his mind would have been refreshed immediately.

Yang Wu was unsure whether the time simulator refreshed its simulation count based on the time experienced by the user or the flow rate of the original universe itself.

Therefore, what happens next will be a turning point in Yang Wu's fate.

Although the number of simulations on the time simulator is refreshed according to the flow rate of the original universe, Yang Wu, who is currently in the initial universe, can have a great advantage because he can simulate as many as 30 times in the next 30 years.

However, Yang Wu still hoped that the time simulator would refresh according to the time experienced by the user.

Because the path to becoming a strong person cannot be limited to what's in front of you!

Yang Wu, who was familiar with the original work, knew very well that there were many treasures in this world that could accelerate time.

Whether it's the most ordinary time chamber, the miniature universe of the strongest being in the universe, the inheritance space of Duan Donghe, or the black-patterned stone pillar in the cosmic sea...

Furthermore, the time acceleration of the Black-Patterned Stone Pillar can be used in conjunction with the time acceleration within the Broken East River Inheritance Space.

Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of times!

At that point, if the time simulator only refreshes the simulation times according to the time flow rate in the original universe, plus that mere hundred-fold time limit, it will only serve the purpose of avoiding risks and finding treasures for Yang Wu.

As for its help in transcending the cycle of rebirth, it is negligible.

Therefore, at this moment, Yang Wu was quite nervous.

Finally, time passed little by little, and three full years had passed since the last simulation in the original universe.

However, the number of simulations on the time simulator is...

It hasn't been refreshed!

"Hahaha..." Yang Wu laughed heartily.

Even with the aid of a simulator, Yang Wu was confident that he could cultivate to the Venerable level, the Lord of the Universe level, and even grow into the strongest being in the universe.

However, Yang Wu was not very confident that he would eventually be able to transcend the cycle of reincarnation.

After all, even in the vast ocean of the universe, through countless cycles of reincarnation, only two holy lands have emerged.

Even if he couldn't escape reincarnation in the end, Yang Wu could live forever in Luo Feng's holy land universe. But now that he had come to this world and embarked on the path of the strong, how could Yang Wu not want to experience the wonders of the Origin Continent?

Now, Yang Wu finally has a sliver of an opportunity.

Other universe's strongest beings can rely on the Black Pattern Stone Pillar to accelerate the flow of time by ten thousand or one hundred thousand times, but Yang Wu can further increase the flow of time by a hundred times by relying on the Time Simulator.

Moreover, in Yang Wu's future simulated experiences, he can leave the Black Pattern Stone Pillar and constantly go on adventures, which will greatly increase his growth rate.

At this time-

"Huh?"

Sensing something amiss, Qian Shui suddenly looked at Yang Wu and asked softly, "Yang Wu, have you finished your comprehension?"

Yang Wu smiled and nodded.

Usually at this time, the stunningly beautiful girl Qian Shui would ask him for some guidance, and Yang Wu, having encountered such a happy event today, naturally wouldn't refuse her.

"I'm planning to go hunting Chaos Beasts outside the city. Yang Wu, would you like to come with me?" Qian Shui asked with a smile.

"A Chaos Beast?" Yang Wu's heart skipped a beat.

This Chaos Beast is one of the three treasures of Chaos in this primordial universe, on par with the Chaos Stele.

After the Chaos Beast dies, it transforms directly into a large amount of chaotic energy and a turquoise light. This turquoise light is the core of the Chaos Beast, known as the Chaos True Spirit.

When the Chaos True Spirit is absorbed into the body, it will be absorbed by the soul. After absorbing the Chaos True Spirit, the soul will undergo some changes, making it more compatible with the universe and more clearly sensing the fluctuations of the fundamental laws of the universe.

Yang Wu has been in Chaos City for nearly a year, but has never hunted a Chaos Beast.

So, after thinking it over for a moment, Yang Wu agreed to Qian Shui's request and prepared to go with her.

……

Chaos City covers a vast area, with its thick city walls stretching endlessly. Even with Yang Wuheng's ninth-level star-rank physical abilities, he could not see the end of the wall.

The city gates opened, and powerful figures came and went from time to time. Yang Wu, whose entire body was covered by the metallic life form "Kash", also walked out of the city gate with Qian Shui.

The Chaos Beasts vary in strength, but even the weakest among them possesses cosmic-level power.

Without 'Kash's' assistance, Yang Wu might be able to kill the weakest Chaos Beast, but if he encountered one that was even slightly stronger, he would have to flee in panic.

However, now that Yang Wu has the support of the ninth-tier cosmic-level 'Kash,' he can even put up a fight against a Chaos Beast at the Domain Lord level.

"Yang Wu!" Qian Shui asked疑惑地, "The speed at which a cosmic-level person comprehends the laws is faster than that at the ephemeral-level. Most of the geniuses in our generation have already broken through to the cosmic level. But you've already reached the peak of the ephemeral-level, so why haven't you broken through to the cosmic level?"

The cosmic-level threshold might stop many people, but for these geniuses, it's nothing. Any one of these geniuses who came to Chaos City could easily break through it.

"Cosmic level?" Yang Wu said with a smile, "I'm about to break through too. Anyway, the difference in the speed of comprehending laws between the Eternal level and the Cosmic level isn't that big, so spending some time at night won't make a difference!"

In fact, some people had asked Yang Wu why he hadn't broken through to the next level after the Genius Battle, but Yang Wu had brushed them off.

However, Yang Wu also knew that he would have to break through to the cosmic level by the time he left Chaos City, otherwise he would attract too much attention.

"Oh!" Qian Shui nodded and said, "Then we should keep a close distance when hunting Chaos Beasts, so we can help each other if we encounter danger!"

"Okay!" Yang Wu nodded and said.

As they were talking, Yang Wu and his companion arrived in front of an enormous stone tablet.

Unlike Yang Wu, who was visiting for the first time, Qian Shui and her brother Jiang Mo had been here several times.

So Qian Shui directly introduced to Yang Wu from the side: "Yang Wu, if you walk a little further ahead, you'll reach the inner area where the cosmic-level Chaos Beasts reside!"

"And these Chaos Beasts are the greatest danger we face in this primordial universe! I heard from my brother that some of the geniuses of our generation have already perished here! Although your understanding of the laws is very high, you're only at the Constant Star level right now, so you must be extremely careful!"

"I understand!" Yang Wu nodded with a smile, but he didn't say much about the existence of 'Kashgar'.

Of the thousand geniuses who joined the Virtual Universe Company this time, any one of them, after breaking through to the Universe level, would likely be able to defeat ordinary fifth or sixth-tier Universe level cultivators. Moreover, each of them held trump cards, yet some of them still perished.

Therefore, when hunting Chaos Beasts, you can never be too careful.

Whoosh!Whoosh!

After Qian Shui finished explaining some of the Chaos Beast's weaknesses and the things to be careful about during the hunt to Yang Wu, the two of them immediately transformed into two streaks of light and flew away into the distance.

……

The chaotic air currents made it impossible for the naked eye to see very far.

On the vast, desolate plain, weeds grow rampant and rocks are scattered everywhere.

On this wasteland that has existed for countless ages, both the weeds and the rocks are fundamentally different from the matter in the original universe.

Because they have been transformed by this chaotic energy flow, they will not decay no matter how long they exist.

Yang Wu landed from mid-air, separating himself slightly from Qian Shui, and then began searching for the Chaos Beast's tracks.

Soon, Yang Wu discovered a large Chaos Beast.

This chaotic beast was over thirty meters long, with black fur and a single silver horn on its head, just like a unicorn. Its eyes constantly scanned its surroundings, showing great vigilance.

"Around the third tier of the cosmic level!"

Before arriving here, Qian Shui had told Yang Wu some methods for judging the strength of a Chaos Beast, so Yang Wu could tell the approximate strength of this Chaos Beast at a glance.

However, although these Chaos Beasts are skilled in some fundamental laws, their intelligence is extremely low. Like ferocious beasts, they act entirely on instinct.

"The Sun and Moon Divine Spear!"

The most important thing in hunting Chaos Beasts is speed; otherwise, you may attract an attack from other Chaos Beasts.

Therefore, Yang Wu's first move was his strongest killing move.

The tip of the Overlord Spear quickly revealed the phantom images of the sun and moon, and then a ray of spear light pierced through the air.

With the assistance of the ninth-tier cosmic-level 'Kash', the power of this spear light was many times stronger than when Yang Wu used it alone.

"Awoo!"

The Chaos Beast, not far away, sensed the danger and also looked at Yang Wu.

However, the lowly Chaos Beast did not choose to flee, but instead charged madly towards Yang Wu, and the single horn on its head began to flash with light.

puff!

With a soft sound, the spear light emitted by Yang Wu instantly pierced through the Chaos Beast's brow, directly crushing the inside of its skull.

Boom!

The enormous unicorn collapsed to the ground, and as it fell, its massive body began to rot rapidly.

In a mere instant, the thirty-meter-long corpse transformed into countless chaotic streams of energy, followed by a bright green light.

call out!

Yang Wu immediately released his mental energy to envelop the emerald green light. Although Yang Wu did not intend to follow the path of the controller, his mental energy had already reached the ninth level of the Hengxing level, making it easy for him to retrieve objects from a distance.

laugh!

The moment Yang Wu's spiritual power touched the Chaos True Spirit, the Chaos True Spirit began to gradually dissolve.

Rumble!

At the same time, strange changes began to occur within Yang Wu's body.

Things actually get busier on weekends. So, that should be all for today.
