Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 293 Luo Feng

"I gained a great deal from the Time Simulator and from studying the Golden Horn Clan's Sacred Stele, but it's not convenient to fully reveal it right now!" Yang Wu thought to himself as he looked at the countless secret techniques in the hall.

Yang Wu's current understanding of the laws is highest in the Law of Space, while the Law of Flame and the Law of Metal are about the same level.

In terms of the laws of fusion, Yang Wu has achieved a high level in the fusion of fire and space, reaching the level of the fifteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven, which is roughly equivalent to the level of Luo Feng when he left Chaos City in the original work.

The law of fusion of gold and void is merely the beginning.

Yang Wu pondered to himself: "It seems that the best cultivation path is to reach the World Lord level as soon as possible. Firstly, after reaching the World Lord level, I can use the power of the world to connect my consciousness to the origin of the universe, which will greatly increase the speed of comprehending the laws. Secondly, after reaching the World Lord level, my talent and comprehension will also improve again, making cultivation easier."

"However, before that, we still need to conquer the Primordial Heavenly Mountain, which is at the Domain Lord level!"

The core geniuses who have overcome the original Tongtian Mountain at the Domain Lord level will receive a reward of 3 billion points from the Virtual Universe Company after breaking through to the World Lord level.

Yang Wu has many resources to spare, so he naturally wouldn't give up this wealth that could be easily obtained.

"Then let's use the Nine Universes Chaos Stele to comprehend the laws of space first, and then break through to the World Lord level after the next simulation!"

Looking at the four invaluable manuals on the table, Yang Wu made a decision.

The experience of the time simulator also shows that Yang Wu's greatest strength is not the law of fusion, but the law of space.

Moreover, Yang Wu has only just come into contact with the fusion law of the Beast God's Way in reality. If he rashly displays his extremely high level of skill, it may attract unnecessary trouble.

Yang Wu's plan was to break through to the realm master level after completing the next simulation of the domain master level.

With the vast difference in time flow between the primordial universe and the initial universe, plus the five-fold increase in time flow within the Time Palace, Yang Wu only needs to stay in Chaos City for a little over seven years to be ready for the next simulation.

"However, we cannot give up cultivating the Fire-Void Fusion Law!"

"Only by cultivating the Path of the Beast God to a high level will one have a chance to obtain the Beast God Inheritance Token and travel to the Ancestral God Sect!"

Various thoughts raced through Yang Wu's mind.

The Ancestral God Sect is the place where the Way of the Beast God is passed down. In the extremely dangerous cosmic secret realm of the universe, the "Ancestral Secret Realm," even ordinary dangers are enough to cause the cosmic venerable to perish. As for some dangerous places, even the cosmic lord must give way.

In Yang Wu's future plans, the Ancestral God Sect is a place he must go to when he reaches the Realm Lord stage.

It's not just because of the inheritance of the Beast God's Way, but also because, most importantly, the Ancestral Mystic Realm, although extremely dangerous, also contains the largest number of special life forms in the universe.

With the help of the Time Palace and the Time Simulator, it won't take Yang Wu long to break through to the Realm Lord level.

Therefore, he also needs to prepare for his new clone in advance.

In this vast universe, besides the avatar of the Flame God Clan, the other suitable place for Yang Wu to nurture is the Nine Nether Sea in the Ancestral Mystic Realm.

The innate secret technique of the Nine Nether Sea, "Creation," is extremely compatible with the path of divine power to achieve true godhood, and will surely become one of Yang Wu's assistance in the future.

The World Tree, which possesses the talent of time and space, is also one of the candidates for Yang Wu's clone.

"Considering all of this, the Path of the Beast God must not be abandoned!"

Yang Wu pondered, "However, with the existence of the time simulator, I'm afraid the one thing I won't lack in the future is time!"

Yang Wu's only worry was that he would encounter a bottleneck on the path to becoming a strongman.

Even someone as powerful as the Lord of Chaos City, whose combat strength had long since reached the pinnacle of the universe's rulers, had yet to step into the realm of the universe's strongest after all these long years.

The genius of the Martial Arts Arena, the peerless genius of the Fire Erosion Venerable, became an immortal king after tens of thousands of years and a cosmic venerable after hundreds of thousands of years. Yet, after billions of years, he remains at the cosmic venerable level.

There was also the True King, who lived in the same era as the Fire Erosion Venerable. He was considered a peerless genius, but he remained at the King level for hundreds of millions of years. It was only after going to the Ancestral God Sect that he successfully broke through to the Universe Venerable.

"Phew... let's not worry about that for now!"

Yang Wu let out a long breath: "Let's focus on our cultivation for now!"

"Oh, right!"

Yang Wu then remembered something extremely important: "I currently possess the 'Nine Refinements of Flame Crystal Body' for body-amplifying techniques, but I haven't been able to cultivate any soul-amplifying techniques. Let's see if there are any soul-amplifying techniques among these manuals?"

Although Yang Wu does not follow the lineage of mental cultivators, he should still cultivate a soul-based amplification technique if the opportunity arises.

Even if it's not used to unleash soul attacks, it can be used to strengthen one's own soul defense.

Yang Wu's current soul defense, due to his strong will, his self-created soul defense secret technique "Luofu Heart Lamp," and his second level of mind cultivation, is now generally able to withstand the soul attacks of a high-level soul master.

If he could cultivate another soul amplification technique to a minor level, even a soul attack from a peak-level King-level soul master would not be able to break through his defenses.

Thinking of this, Yang Wu quickly turned his attention to the four sets of secret manuals on the table in front of him.

To be precise, it was focused on the two manuals, "Black Hole Evolution" and "Star Prison Secrets".

"Time and Space Notes" is a research-oriented secret manual. Although it records more than 10,000 secret methods, they are all relatively superficial. Like "Blazing Flames" and "Blood Flowing", it focuses more on comprehending the laws.

However, the accompanying technique in "Seven Transformations of Divine Evolution" is a secret method related to body amplitude.

Strangely enough, although "Seven Transformations of Divine Transformation" is clearly a set of combat techniques for mental cultivators, the amplitude techniques within it are related to the body.

Yang Wu picked up the "Star Prison Secret Manual" and glanced through it briefly, discovering that it still contained a secret technique related to body amplitude.

However, this is quite normal, as most practitioners of the Path of the Beast God are martial artists.

No spiritualist who cultivates the path of the Beast God can ever reach the pinnacle.

The Golden Horned Elder Herodo was renowned throughout the universe for countless years, but because he was unaware of this secret, he never took the final step to become the ruler of the universe until his death.

The Star Prison Demon Lord, however, is a member of the human race and naturally follows the path of the martial arts lineage.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Wu flipped through another set of "Black Hole Evolution" and the result made him quite happy.

"Black Hole Evolution" truly lives up to its reputation as one of the most top-tier secret manuals in human history. In addition to a set of body amplitude-based secret techniques called "Nine Refinements of Flame Crystal Body," the manual also contains a set of soul amplitude-based secret techniques called "Seven Star Soul Forging."

The Seven Star Soul Forging Technique is divided into seven realms. It is a secret method to improve one's strength by condensing the soul, and it has extremely high requirements for understanding the laws and using auxiliary treasures.

Only those with the comprehension of an ordinary immortal can cultivate to the first level, where the soul's amplitude reaches twice its own.

A Marquis-level comprehension allows one to cultivate the second and third levels, with the soul's amplitude reaching four and eight times its own, respectively.

Only those who achieve a King-level comprehension can cultivate the fifth and sixth levels, where the soul amplitude can reach 16 times and 32 times their own strength, respectively.

Moreover, cultivating the Seven Star Soul Forging Technique requires the use of valuable treasures, and even among peak King-level experts, very few can cultivate this secret technique to the fifth level.

"Everything is ready; it's time to begin cultivation!"

After choosing a suitable secret technique, Yang Wu's consciousness returned to reality, and he went to pay his respects at the residence of King Jianhuang.

After that, Yang Wu began his years of secluded cultivation in Chaos City. Every day, he would sit quietly on the rooftop of his cultivation residence, sometimes closing his eyes in contemplation, and sometimes looking up at the sky to observe the operation of the cosmic laws manifested in the spatial rifts.

Precious secret techniques, the manifested laws governing the universe, and the Chaos Stele that one must occasionally contemplate.

With the three elements combined, and the significant time difference between the two clones, Yang Wu's cultivation speed was much faster than it had been on Earth.

time flies.

Yang Wu devoted himself to cultivation in Chaos City, comprehending the laws and studying secret techniques. Like a clock that never stops, he went further and further on the path to becoming a strongman.

……

Six months after Yang Wu went to the initial universe, nearly two years had passed in the original universe.

The Primal Secret Realm, Wuchen Continent.

The palace complex stretches endlessly, and more than a hundred geniuses from the original secret realm reside here.

The control center for the entire Wuchen Continent is a sixty-six-story, dark-colored tower.

The lowest level of the tower has a radius of over 1,000 kilometers, while its height reaches tens of thousands of kilometers.

This tower is the control center for the surrounding space-time.

The lobby on the 45th floor of the tower is filled with a dense array of sophisticated instruments and screens, as well as numerous staff members in silver uniforms and a few in black uniforms.

suddenly--

Suddenly, a figure appeared on a screen in the hall, and at the same time, an extremely grand voice rang out in the hall.

"I'm leaving on a spaceship to take up my post in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom."

Everyone in the hall looked up and saw a black-haired young man wearing silver armor on the huge screen.

He was somewhat thin, but he exuded a rather fierce aura.

This person is none other than Luo Feng!

After completing the extreme-level cultivation mission "Purgatory Abyss", Luo Feng, who was already a Realm Lord, finally broke through to the Domain Lord level.

At the same time, Luo Feng also received an external appointment from the Virtual Universe Company, serving as the Inspector of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

"It is His Highness Luo Feng."

"Your Highness Luo Feng has only just broken through to the Domain Lord level a few days ago, and you're already heading to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom?"

"The Primal Secret Realm is quite far from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, so it's understandable that Prince Luo Feng set off ahead of schedule!"

The staff members were talking amongst themselves in the lobby.

At the same time, a staff member in a black uniform walked directly to the control panel, pressed a button, and respectfully said, "Your Highness Luo Feng, your request has been transmitted to the main control system, and authorization will be granted immediately!"

"Hmm." Luo Feng on the screen nodded, then disappeared.

……

Inside the tower.

"With Prince Luo Feng taking office, the three ministers of the Qianwu branch are probably going to have a headache again!"

"Hahaha... You're absolutely right! The entire Primordial Secret Realm only has a few dozen Domain Lord-level princes, distributed among more than a thousand cosmic kingdoms, making them incredibly rare. But the Qianwu Cosmic Kingdom has appointed two inspectors in succession, which is truly exceptional!"

A group of staff members, having nothing to do, started gossiping among themselves.

"His Highness Yang Wu possesses astonishing talent, and after just over a hundred years, he chose to go to Chaos City to cultivate in seclusion. But His Highness Luo Feng, having gone there, won't be stepping down so quickly!"

"Yes, generally speaking, domain lord-level members are released for tens of thousands of years. It's truly unbelievable that His Highness Yang Wu is like that!"

"That's not necessarily true. Prince Luo Feng didn't stay at the cosmic level for very long. He might only stay at the domain lord level for a few thousand years."

"Hmm, I heard that His Highness Luo Feng recently completed the 'Purgatory Abyss' mission, a high-stakes mission with a near 100% mortality rate. His strength must be quite astonishing!"

"Who told you that?"

……

Above Luo Feng's palace complex on the Wu Chen Continent, a flat, jet-black spaceship is hovering.

Inside the spaceship.

"Dylan, your spaceship is really impressive, an F-class spaceship... I've heard that many immortal gods are unable to build an F-class spaceship."

Luo Feng sat on the sofa in the control room, smiling and praising the leader of the guards beside him.

"This Yanxing is a reward from my teacher because I made great contributions before," the bald man, Dylan, replied with a smile.

"A reward from my third senior brother?" Luo Feng was somewhat surprised.

At this time-

Babata's voice echoed in Luo Feng's mind: "What's so special about this? Your teacher's Meteorite Starship was forged from Crimson Copper Mother, making it far superior in material to this Yanxing Starship, and it was also significantly larger!"

"Luo Feng, you have now reached the Domain Lord level. After leaving the Primal Secret Realm, you can go and collect all the legacies left by your teacher!"

"With your teacher's legacy, we can completely repair the Meteorite Starship, making it far superior to this Yanxing Starship!"

"Hmm!" Luo Feng nodded with a smile.

Luo Feng, who had made great gains in many cosmic secret realms, possessed an astonishing amount of wealth, but he didn't have much usable cash. His teacher's inheritance could indeed make up for this.

"Luo Feng, how long do you plan to stay in the Qianwu Universe this time?" Babata asked.

"I'm not sure either, but it shouldn't be more than a hundred years old!"

Luo Feng said, "I came back this time mainly to deal with the Zerg Queen on Earth and to see my family. If I have the chance, I'll also visit the Golden Horn Clan's hometown that Brother Yang mentioned, and then I'll go to Chaos City to cultivate in seclusion!"

"Not planning to stay any longer?" Babata asked. "You haven't been back for hundreds of years, and I've heard that Domain Lord-level members of the Virtual Universe Company can take on quite a few missions when they're deployed outside!"

"No, although the rewards for a Domain Lord-level mission are very generous, it requires a long wait!" Luo Feng shook his head and said, "Brother Yang is getting further and further ahead. If I don't work hard to catch up, I'm afraid I'll fall even further behind!"

Luo Feng's Golden Horned Beast clone has now broken through to the World Lord level, greatly increasing his cultivation speed.

He originally thought he would narrow the gap between himself and Yang Wu, but unexpectedly the gap only widened.

"That freak Yang Wu, I really don't know how he cultivated!" Babata exclaimed in agreement.

Back on Earth, in order to prevent its master's lineage from being cut off, it chose the tallest among the short ones, hoping to leave a legacy for its master, Huyan Bo.

In his original plan, he hoped to cultivate Luo Feng to the cosmic level over several hundred years.

But now, hundreds of years have passed, and that little apprentice at the ninth level has already achieved a status that even its master, Huyan Bo, has to look up to.

As for the disciples who were accepted under his name, they were even more extraordinary.

"Yes!" Luo Feng exclaimed in agreement, "Brother Yang's talent and comprehension are truly astonishing! However... I, Luo Feng, never admit defeat!"

Just then...

"drop!"

"Master, authorization has been granted. We can leave now," the spaceship's intelligent voice echoed in the control room.

"Let's go," the bald man, Dylan, ordered.

Immediately, the jet-black spaceship started up, its speed increasing rapidly as it flew into the distant void.

……

The virtual universe, 'Amethyst Island' under the jurisdiction of the Qianwu Continent.

Inside the grand hall located at the very center of Amethyst Island.

Beside the enormous round table stood three towering thrones, each occupied by a figure—the three giants of the Qianwu branch of the Virtual Universe Company.

These three had just enjoyed a few years of peaceful life after Yang Wu left, but unexpectedly they received news from headquarters that they had been appointed as special inspectors.

"Can anyone tell me what's going on?" the ape-man Purple Lightning Marquis asked, sounding quite frustrated. "His Highness Yang Wu just left, and Luo Feng has already broken through again!"

"That Luo Feng, really, why is he in such a hurry to break through to the Domain Lord level? Does he think he's as talented as Prince Yang Wu?"

"What good is your displeasure?" the sinister-looking man, Jin Yuhou, said disdainfully. "Even if Luo Feng doesn't break through now, he will in a few thousand years. Won't he still come here then?"

"Now we can only hope that he's like His Highness Yang Wu, someone who focuses on cultivation. That way, things will be easier for the rest of us!"

"I have received some information!"

The woman in black veil, Hei Yanhou, pointed into the void, where a screen appeared displaying information about Luo Feng.

Marquis Jin Yu and Marquis Zi Dian immediately looked at the screen.

Hei Yanhou continued, "In just two hundred years, Luo Feng completed three extreme-level cultivation missions and fifteen dangerous-level cultivation missions, demonstrating that he is an extremely passionate genius in cultivation!"

"If we're just a little warm towards him, he probably won't cause any trouble!"

"That's right!" After reading the information, Zi Dianhou and the other man nodded in agreement.

"Moreover, if two consecutive special envoys of the Inspectorate are very satisfied with our work, the company headquarters will be more at ease with us!" Hei Yanhou said with a smile.

Marquis Jin Yu and Marquis Zi Dian exchanged a glance, a hint of anticipation rising in their hearts as well.
