Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 289 The Shock of the Sword King

Virtual Universe, Rain Mountain.

In the primeval area, at Yangwu Manor, in a training ground so bright it reflects light like a mirror.

Yang Wu, clad in dark gold armor, moved constantly in the training ground.

He held a crimson spear, but it was not the Overlord Spear he often used before; it was an ordinary alloy spear with no special effects.

call!

Yang Wu's eyes blazed with divine light as he continuously practiced various spear techniques in the training ground.

The radiating gun beams subtly echoed the fundamental laws of the universe, sometimes ethereal and agile, sometimes condensed and sharp, and sometimes explosively powerful.

In an instant, the entire training ground was filled with the light of countless spears.

Every spear technique was executed with unparalleled smoothness in Yang Wu's hands, as if it were a natural creation.

Do not be attached to material things, nor be endangered by your mind.

Of course, Yang Wu's practiced moves were limited to the secret techniques he had encountered in reality. The fusion of fire and air that he had learned from his simulation experience, as well as his self-created spear techniques, were not yet ready to be used.

Just then, a figure carrying a golden sword appeared in the training ground. It was Yang Wu's instructor, Sword King.

The spear technique Yang Wu displayed was crystal clear to Sword King.

The spear techniques Yang Wu displayed were nothing special in the eyes of Sword King, but the fact that Yang Wu could use them to such an extent surprised Sword King.

"I initially thought Yang Wu's slow progress was due to his lack of mastery of the Law of Metal!"

Sword King nodded inwardly, "I didn't expect him to be seriously practicing the secret technique!"

"Um?"

Sword King was initially quite casual, but as he looked at him, his expression changed.

call out!call out!call out!

The spear flashed!

Yang Wu's spear technique was incredibly sharp, but Sword King's gaze remained fixed on the golden sword mark between Yang Wu's eyebrows.

"This is……"

"Has he already gained the approval of the fundamental law of metal?"

"This...how is this possible?"

Even though Sword King had already witnessed Yang Wu's extraordinary talent, he was still incredibly shocked.

Don't underestimate the Law of Gold just because it's a lower-level law.

However, gaining recognition from the Law of Gold is extremely difficult.

Even among the many domain lord-level members who have passed the tenth level of the Bridge to Heaven in the Primordial Secret Realm, not all of them can gain the recognition of the Origin Law.

Moreover, the Law of Metal is not the fundamental law that Yang Wu primarily cultivates.

Moreover, in recent years, Yang Wu has been comprehending the Law of Metal under the guidance of Sword King, and Sword King is extremely clear about Yang Wu's progress in the Law of Metal.

In Jianhuang Wang's eyes, although Yang Wu's understanding of the Law of Metal was good, a year ago he had at most barely reached the level of the seventh level of the Tongtian Bridge.

But what did he see now?

In just one year, his understanding of the Law of Metal went from the seventh level of the Bridge to the ninth level.

What is this? How incredible is this?

That's absolutely outrageous.

Just then, Yang Wu, who was practicing spear techniques in the training ground, also saw the Sword King appear out of thin air.

In fact, Yang Wu had already considered whether or not to hide the golden sword mark between his eyebrows.

However, many people have already witnessed the scene where he received recognition from the fundamental law of gold in the Golden Horn Clan's sacred tower, so he can no longer keep it a secret.

Moreover, gaining recognition from the fundamental law of metal was only a small part of Yang Wu's gains from the last simulation experience, and there was no need to carefully hide it.

If pressed for details, simply attribute the matter to the Golden Horn Clan's sacred monument.

If he acts even more extraordinary now, it will give him some breathing room when he displays even more astonishing strength in the future.

After all, once he obtains the Temple of Time, his strength will improve at an even more astonishing rate, making it impossible for him to keep it hidden forever.

A moment later—

Yang Wu's figure transformed into a hazy phantom, and in an instant, he appeared beside Sword King.

"Please give me some guidance, teacher."

Yang Wu remained calm and bowed slightly in greeting.

"Yang Wu, when did you gain recognition from the fundamental laws of metal?"

Sword King looked at Yang Wu. Although his expression revealed nothing, his tone was no longer as calm as when he was instructing Yang Wu.

At this moment, even King Jianhuang had some doubts in his heart that Yang Wu had already obtained the recognition of the Fundamental Law of Metal.

but……

Sword King himself knew that such a possibility was not high.

If Yang Wu had already gained recognition from the fundamental law of metal long ago, there would have been no need for him to keep asking for guidance.

But if Yang Wu's previous progress in understanding the fundamental laws of metal was genuine, then how incredible must his progress this year be?

"Master, I was invited by a powerful member of the Golden Horn Clan to visit their homeland."

Yang Wu replied, "A year ago, an elder of the Golden Horn Clan granted me the opportunity to study the Golden Horn Clan's Sacred Stele. I spent a year studying within that stele tower, and only then did I manage to gain recognition for the fundamental law of gold!"

Upon hearing this, King Jianhuang remained silent for a long time.

Golden Horn Tribe Sacred Monument?

A year of contemplation?

He knew very well that Yang Wu was not telling the truth, or at least not completely telling the truth.

Although King Jianhuang had never been to the Golden Horn Clan's hometown, he had dealt with many powerful members of the Golden Horn Clan.

The Golden Horn Clan's sacred monument was left behind by Herodo, a super-powerful being renowned throughout the universe, and is indeed a rare treasure.

But if others don't understand him, how could they not understand him?

Compared to the Golden Horn Clan's sacred stele, the fifty-two Chaos Steles of the Human Race are far superior!

While such treasures can greatly increase the speed at which powerful individuals comprehend the fundamental laws, it requires a very long period of accumulation.

If continuous enlightenment could truly lead to continuous progress, then super-strong individuals in the universe wouldn't be so rare.

Even with Sword King's current level, if he spent a year studying the Chaos Stele, it would be impossible for him to raise his understanding of the Wood Law from the third level of the Tongtian Bridge to the fourth level.

But Yang Wu's comprehension level went directly from the seventh level of the Tongtian Bridge to the ninth level.

"Yang Wu!"

"He definitely has more secrets up his sleeve!"

Sword King thought to himself, "If he can make such progress in the Law of Metal, his progress in the Law of Space might be even more astonishing!"

However, for any intelligent life form, hiding its trump card is an instinct.

As a powerful king who has existed for countless years, Sword Emperor King knows very well that almost every super genius who can stand at the pinnacle of the universe has some special experiences.

As for Yang Wu, he is the most outstanding among these super geniuses; it would be abnormal if he didn't have special opportunities.

Everyone has secrets, and King Jianhuang didn't necessarily want to find out Yang Wu's secrets.

Moreover, King Jianhuang was merely Yang Wu's mentor, and their relationship was naturally not as close as that of a formal apprenticeship, so it was impossible for him to delve into every detail of the matter.

Thinking of this, King Jianhuang felt a sense of relief.

"The Golden Horn Clan's Sacred Stele is indeed a rare treasure, and it will greatly help you comprehend the laws!"

Sword King paused, and after thinking it over, he couldn't help but ask, "However, the Golden Horn Clan's sacred stele has both metal and space attributes. Yang Wu, your progress in the law of metal is so astonishing, you must have made great progress in the law of space as well!"

He knew Yang Wu's talent in the laws of space. In his eyes, since Yang Wu had time to improve the laws of metal, he naturally couldn't put the cart before the horse.

Yang Wu nodded slowly and said, "This disciple has indeed made some progress in understanding the laws of space!"

"Oh?" King Jianhuang asked with a smile, "Is it possible to pass the fourteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven?"

Sword King already knew that Yang Wu had used the ninth level of the Overlord Spear technique, which was comparable to the thirteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven.

"There shouldn't be any problem!" Yang Wu nodded and said.

King Jianhuang was taken aback.

Although he asked this question, subconsciously he did not believe that Yang Wu could improve much in his understanding of the laws of space.

After all, the more you try to understand the laws, the more difficult they become.

A super genius might be able to advance from the first level of the Bridge to Heaven to the fifth level in a hundred years, but it would probably take tens of thousands of years to advance from the fifth level to the tenth level.

Even if Yang Wu followed the path of analyzing the essence of spatial laws, it would be unlikely that he would have made such amazing progress in such a short period of time.

Unexpectedly, he received a positive answer from Yang Wu.

However, King Jianhuang thought again that with Yang Wu's abilities, perhaps he really could do it?

"Next, I will give you some guidance on the laws of space, but you have reached the final step in the law of metal, and now you can only rely on yourself!"

Sword King sighed softly, "Speaking of which, at your current rate of progress, I'm afraid it won't be long before I can no longer guide you even on the laws of space!"

"No matter what, a teacher is always a student's teacher!" Yang Wu quickly said.

He didn't say anything modest, after all, his current understanding of the laws was already comparable to the seventeenth level of the Tongtian Bridge, and he could rank among the top even among the hundred geniuses of the Primordial Secret Realm.

"Hmm!" King Jianhuang nodded: "Since you are practicing your spear technique, I will use my spear technique to demonstrate the fifth picture of the Nine Universe Chaos Stele for you."

Sword King stretched out his hand, and an ancient spear appeared out of thin air in his hand. At the same time, the space in the cultivation field transformed into an endless starry sky.

The starry sky was silent, with only a few lonely stars dotting the sky.

"Clang!"

Sword King gently raised his spear, his figure seemingly no less imposing than the space itself. In Yang Wu's eyes, the entire starry sky was enveloped by that desolate aura.

In the boundless silence.

puff!

Sword King swung his spear.

Suddenly, a soft sound came from a distant star, and the once dazzling star instantly turned into a sky full of dust.

Then the entire starry sky was pierced through by Sword King's spear, just like a thin sheet of paper.

Yang Wu's pupils contracted slightly.

With this single shot, countless spaces were frozen in time, and all things lost their meaning of existence.

"Handling heavy tasks with ease!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

Even though he had fully comprehended the fifth diagram of the Nine Universes Chaos Stele, seeing Sword King's spear strike gave him some new insights.

"The laws of space can be applied in an incredibly wide range of ways, with the ultimate paths being teleportation, strangulation, and blockade."

Sword King smiled and said, "Although the spear I demonstrated for you only utilized the spatial laws from the fifth diagram, there was a hint of teleportation within it!"

The ancient spear in Sword King's hand vanished, and he said expectantly, "This is a powerful ability that countless strong individuals who have comprehended the laws of space dream of. I hope you can cultivate diligently and acquire the ability of teleportation as soon as possible!"

Yang Wu nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, teacher."

At the same time, Yang Wu sighed inwardly, "That day is not far off!"

……

Over the next period of time, Yang Wu first thoroughly organized all his gains inside the Golden Horn Clan's sacred monument.

Subsequently, Yang Wu, guided by the Golden Horn Clan members, headed to the Golden Horn Clan's Secret Tower.

Inside the Mystic Tower, Yang Wu selected three extremely precious secret manuals: "Golden Soul," "Thirty-Six Layers of Divine Evolution," and "Flame Explosion."

Among them, "Thirty-Six Layers of Divine Evolution" is the foundation chapter of "Seven Kills of the Beast God" created by Herodo. Yang Wu comprehended the law of fusion of gold and void, so naturally he would not give up.

"Golden Soul" is one of the most precious secret techniques in the Secret Technique Tower. It is extremely suitable for powerful individuals who want to comprehend the Law of Metal to cultivate. Yang Wu chose it so that he could have something to refer to when creating secret techniques in the future.

As for "Flame Explosion," Yang Wu saw the shadow of his self-created spear technique "Godslayer" in this manual.

Presumably, Yang Wu chose this book, "Flame Explosion," in the simulator.

After choosing the secret technique, Yang Wu once again sought an audience with the elder of the Golden Horn Clan, and just like in the simulated experience, he encountered the Zerg spy who had infiltrated the Golden Horn Clan.

Led by a Zerg spy, Yang Wu successfully arrived at the location of the Beast God statue.

However, unlike in the simulation, Yang Wu, having already reached the first level of the Path of the Beast God, quickly sensed a trace of the divine essence of the Beast God statue, which is the so-called Beast God's intent.

In the Beast God Canyon.

"I've heard that the Beast God's Intent can complement the Law of Fusion, but I wonder if that's true!"

Yang Wu flew around the Beast God statue in mid-air, taking numerous photos at the same time.

Feeling a sense of urgency, he naturally wouldn't retreat to the Beast God Canyon to cultivate as he had in the simulation, so he decided to take a lot of photos of the Beast God statues and take them with him.

After Yang Wu had settled everything in the Jinjiao tribe's hometown, he bid farewell to Si Fanqi, who had always been by his side protecting him.

"Elder Sifan Qi, before I leave, there is one more thing I would like to ask for your help with!" Yang Wu said earnestly.

"Please give your orders, Your Highness!" Si Fanqi hurriedly replied.

The scene of Yang Wu gaining recognition from the fundamental law of metal was still firmly imprinted in Terafan Ki's mind. He finally understood what a peerless genius was.

Yang Wu slowly said, "I have a good friend named Luo Feng, who is now a universe-level member of the Primal Secret Realm and a rare genius! Moreover, Luo Feng is using the Divine Weapon created by Elder Xi Luoyuan."

"In a few years, Luo Feng will probably break through to the Domain Lord level. I hope Elder Si Fanqi can help him apply for a qualification to comprehend the Golden Horn Clan's Sacred Stele!"

Although in the simulation, Luo Feng most likely went to the Golden Horn Clan's hometown, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to embark on the path of fusion with the laws so smoothly.

However, Yang Wu still decided to greet Terafan Ki.

With Yang Wu's involvement, Luo Feng will likely receive more attention when he arrives in the hometown of the Golden Horned Tribe.

"Your Highness Luo Feng?" Si Fanqi was slightly taken aback.

As a vassal race of the human race, the Golden Horn Clan naturally attaches great importance to news from the five major human powers.

The secrecy level of many members of the Primal Secret Realm is not very high, so it is perfectly normal for Si Fanqi to have heard of Luo Feng!

"That's right." Yang Wu nodded.

"Since Your Highness has spoken, I will certainly submit the application on behalf of Prince Luo Feng!" Si Fanqi hurriedly assured him.

"Many thanks, Elder Sifanqi!" Yang Wu laughed heartily. "I have gained a great deal from this trip to the Lasos World!"

"I will forever remember the help you received from the Golden Horn Clan and Elder Sifanqi!"

"Haha!" Terabuki quickly said, "It's nothing, as long as Your Highness gains something!"

Si Fanqi invited Yang Wu to the hometown of the Golden Horn tribe in order to improve his relationship with Yang Wu.

He was naturally overjoyed to receive Yang Wu's words.

Finally, under Terahan Ki's watchful gaze, Yang Wu released the spaceship, and the group then departed on the spaceship.

Of course, before leaving, Yang Wu did not forget to subtly remind Si Fanqi of the Zerg spy.

As for the ultimate fate of that Zerg spy, that was no longer Yang Wu's concern.
