Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 209 Ten Years

Having broken through to the cosmic level, Yang Wu quickly adjusted his mindset, stopped worrying about gains and losses, and began hunting Chaos Beasts outside Chaos City with Qian Shui.

With Yang Wu's newfound realm and understanding of the laws, coupled with the assistance of the metallic life form 'Kash,' hunting these cosmic-level chaotic beasts was naturally an easy task.

After about three months, Yang Wu felt that his soul was completely saturated and that it was no longer useful to continue absorbing the Chaos True Spirit.

Afterwards, Yang Wu returned directly to Chaos City to focus on his cultivation.

……

Time flies like water, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the past decade, all the geniuses in Yang Wu's generation of the Genius Battle have made great progress.

Of all the surviving geniuses, the last one to pass through the first level of the Bridge to Heaven was also within four years of arriving in Chaos City.

However, the second level of the Sky Bridge is far more difficult than the first level.

Therefore, even after ten years, only a few truly top geniuses have passed through the second level of the Bridge to Heaven.

Among the geniuses who passed the second level of the Bridge to Heaven, Bolan successfully passed the sixth level in the ninth year after entering Chaos City, thus catching up with Yang Wu's progress.

Luo Feng successfully comprehended the first essence of the fundamental laws of space in his eighth year. He then passed through the third level of the Bridge to Heaven and became a disciple of Zhen Yanwang, a grandmaster of the Nine Universes lineage, thus beginning his even longer cultivation journey.

The two who made the most progress were Rong Jun and Qian Shui, who passed the second level of the Tongtian Bridge in the third and fifth years, respectively.

Besides these four, five other geniuses have also made it through the second level of the Bridge to Heaven over the past ten years.

These five people are... Gusiluo, Longyun, Galesi, Tao, and Uka.

All the geniuses were making rapid progress, but what about Yang Wu, who was initially the focus of countless people's attention?

……

Virtual Universe, Rain Mountain.

In the training grounds within Yang Wu Manor in the Primitive Zone.

"The scene is simulated as a starry sky!"

At Yang Wu's command, the auxiliary AI Chi Yan in his mind immediately began to act, and then the scene in the entire training ground changed, transforming into an incomparably vast universe.

Holding the crimson Overlord Spear and wearing the Flaming Sun Boots, Yang Wu hovered in the starry sky, gazing ahead.

"A sky full of stars!" Yang Wu shouted in a low voice.

Instantly, crimson threads began to appear on the Overlord Spear in Yang Wu's hand. The dense threads converged and connected under the impetus of Yang Wu's primal force, eventually forming a strange secret pattern at the tip of the Overlord Spear.

"go!"

Yang Wu held the Overlord Spear and pointed it at a huge star in front of him. Immediately, crimson spear light began to burst out from the strange runes.

The countless spear beams sometimes converged and sometimes dispersed, spanning a distance of tens of thousands of meters, and instantly collided with that dazzling star.

Rumble!

With a deafening roar, the entire star was instantly reduced to countless specks of dust by the bombardment of countless spear beams, which then drifted away in the cosmic sky.

Even some small planets in the vicinity exploded under the powerful shockwave, turning into interstellar dust as well.

"I have fully comprehended all 36 mysteries within the second image of the Nine Universes Chaos Stele, the Fine Rain Diagram. The power of this fifth level of the Overlord Spear technique has reached its limit!"

Yang Wu gazed intently at the distant starry sky, but was still not satisfied: "But this is not enough!"

"Power of the world, unleash it!"

Yang Wu shouted and began to activate the sixth level of spear technique secrets contained within the Overlord Spear.

Wow!

Countless crimson rays burst forth from the Overlord Spear in Yang Wu's hand, and for a moment the entire starry sky was ablaze with crimson light.

The countless crimson rays caused the surrounding space to change, triggering the fundamental laws of space and fire. Then, the countless crimson rays connected with each other, forming crimson threads.

These countless crimson threads slowly converged around the Overlord Spear, actually forming a dragon-shaped phantom.

"hold head high……"

The dragon-shaped phantom let out a low roar and then circled around Yang Wu's body.

This move, once unleashed, can change the world; it is the sixth level of the Overlord Spear – Hidden Dragon Lying in the Abyss.

Yang Wu was surrounded by a dragon-shaped phantom containing the power of the world, and every move he made was full of infinite power!

boom!

Yang Wu pointed his spear, and a crimson spear light shot out, directly striking a giant planet tens of thousands of meters away.

In an instant, the planet was reduced to dust by the crimson light, which scattered in all directions.

However, the dragon-shaped phantom surrounding Yang Wu's body was also trembling, and then it completely dissipated as if its power had been exhausted.

"This sixth level of the Overlord Spear truly possesses boundless power!"

Yang Wu couldn't help but lament, "What a pity, it only lasted for two or three seconds before completely dissipating!"

"Fortunately, once I grasp even a fraction of the essence of the third torrential rain map, this 'Hidden Dragon Lying in the Abyss' technique will likely be able to last even longer!"

The Overlord Spear Nine-Level Spear Technique is extremely difficult to master at each level.

Yang Wu did have experience using the sixth level of spear technique in the simulator, but that was when he was at the ninth level of Domain Lord.

Right now, Yang Wu is only at the first level of the cosmic level! In terms of energy alone, the difference is tens of thousands of times greater.

Of course, the Overlord Spear technique places greater emphasis on the understanding of laws. Even at the Eternal Star level, as long as the understanding of laws is high enough, it can still be used. However, if the understanding of laws is insufficient, it will require thousands or even tens of thousands of times more energy to successfully execute it.

Over the past decade, Yang Wu's understanding of the laws of space has greatly improved. Just yesterday, he had completely comprehended the 36 mysteries contained in the second picture of the Nine Universe Chaos Stele, the Fine Rain Diagram.

In fact, four years ago, Yang Wu had already comprehended the other five mysteries with the help of the Chaos Stele, but he encountered great difficulties when comprehending the last one.

As soon as Yang Wu begins to comprehend this last mystery, he will be interfered with by the other mysteries that he has already fully mastered.

Fortunately, Yang Wu had far too many treasures to aid his cultivation.

The purchase of more than ten basic secret techniques, including "Blazing Flames" and "Blood Flowing," cost Yang Wu nearly 10,000 points.

The first three volumes of "Time and Space Notes" cost Yang Wu a total of 100,000 points. If he hadn't passed through the first six levels of the Tongtian Bridge and obtained 63,000 points, he probably wouldn't have been able to afford these manuals.

All the mysteries within the second "Drizzle" painting that Master Yang Wu, the Nine Swords Venerable, demonstrated for Yang Wu;

And most importantly, the number of times one comprehends the Nine Universes Chaos Stele.

With many conditions coming together, Yang Wu finally understood all the mysteries within the second painting of Drizzle four years later. From then on, Drizzle held no secrets for Yang Wu.

However, Yang Wu has already used up all six opportunities to comprehend the Chaos Stele that he gained by crossing the Tongtian Bridge.

"Now that I have fully comprehended the second picture, it's time to go to my teacher to ask about the cultivation of the third picture!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

Although Yang Wu now possesses the third volume of "Time and Space Notes," it would be easy for him to grasp some basics of the Rainstorm Diagram. However, if the Nine Swords Venerable could provide guidance, the process would undoubtedly be accelerated even faster.

Just as Yang Wu was pondering this, a lean old man dressed in a fiery red robe appeared beside him.

"Teacher!" Yang Wu quickly greeted him.

This lean old man was the Marquis of Li Huo, an immortal of the Marquis level who was sent by the Nine Swords Venerable to teach Yang Wu after Yang Wu became his disciple.

The Fire Lord achieved immortality through the laws of fire, and his understanding and application of these laws have reached an astonishing level.

Under the tutelage of Li Huohou, Yang Wu's understanding of the laws of fire over the past ten years is in no way inferior to that of the laws of space itself; otherwise, he would not have been able to barely unleash the sixth level of the Overlord Spear technique.

After all, the application of the Overlord Spear requires a higher level of understanding of the laws of fire than the laws of space.

"Yang Wu, I never imagined you could already use the sixth level of the Overlord Spear technique!" Li Huohou exclaimed from the side.

In fact, although Yang Wu has made great progress in the laws of fire during this period, he is not entirely satisfied with his mastery of fire.

In his view, a genius like Yang Wu should have made even more astonishing progress by cultivating a lower-level law like the Law of Flame.

Seeing this scene before him, Li Huohou finally understood why Yang Wu's speed in comprehending the laws of fire was relatively slow.

Because Yang Wu spent more time comprehending the laws of space.

Marquis Li Huo was once a genius among the four secret realms of the Virtual Universe Company, but even at his highest ranking, he was only a member of the Primordial Secret Realm. After achieving immortality, he cultivated for countless years before barely possessing the strength he has now at the peak of the Marquis level.

Therefore, Li Huohou clearly understood what it meant to be able to unleash the sixth level of the Overlord Spear Technique at the cosmic level.

That signifies that Yang Wu has begun to comprehend the third image of the Nine Universes Chaos Stele.

Moreover, Li Huohou knew that Yang Wu was taking the route of analyzing the essence of spatial laws. The prerequisite for taking this extremely difficult route and comprehending the third diagram was to fully understand the 36 spatial essences contained in the second diagram.

This is something that even the Fire Master has not yet accomplished!

"I was just lucky!" Yang Wu said respectfully.

"No wonder the Venerable One values ​​you so highly!" Marquis Li Huo couldn't help but exclaim, "In just ten years, you've comprehended all 36 essential aspects of the laws of space. Such astonishing cultivation speed truly makes you a peerless genius, appearing only once every hundreds of thousands of epochs!"

"I am able to use the sixth level of the Overlord Spear technique thanks to my teacher's guidance over this period of time!" Yang Wu said modestly.

"Hmm!" After listening to Yang Wu's words, Li Huohou nodded in satisfaction.

He came here to teach Yang Wu under orders, and seeing Yang Wu's respect for him, he was naturally very pleased.

If Yang Wu hadn't been so talented, even Marquis Li Huo would probably have wanted to take him on as his personal disciple.

However, Li Huohou also knew that it was unlikely that a peerless genius like Yang Wu, whom even Venerables would vie to take as a disciple, would become a Marquis-level Immortal as his master.

I was quite nervous after finishing the previous chapter today, as I've seen most of the comments.

Book friend Situ Huanyue's suggestion is excellent. After the breakthrough, the protagonist should make a small profit. This would make everyone less unhappy, and the subsequent leveling up would be a natural progression. I really didn't expect this before. It will be reflected in the next simulation, most likely by extending the simulation time. (If you have any good suggestions, please leave a comment.)

As for the breakthrough through absorbing the Chaos True Spirit, I personally believe that the Chaos True Spirit represents a qualitative change, while the transition from the first to the ninth rank is a quantitative accumulation and a transformation of the soul, leading to the breakthrough of a peak ninth-rank Star-level Spiritual Master to the cosmic level.

What I wrote also involved breaking through with mental power first.

As for the invincible protagonist, I don't know if it counts. In my outline, the protagonist should always be the strongest genius in humankind.
