Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 304 Fiery Dragon Armor, God-Slaying Spear

The primordial universe, Chaos City.

Among the countless cultivation dwellings, there was one secluded dwelling on the rooftop.

Yang Wu, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, slowly opened his eyes with a slight smile on his face.

"Participating in this World Lord-level qualification battle was quite rewarding!"

Yang Wu thought to himself, "Those members of the Primordial Secret Realm Master level all have extraordinary methods, especially the top dozens of people, each of whom has created their own top-level unique skills."

"Being able to fight them would be a great advantage for the creation of 'Godslayer'!"

"Crimson Flame!" Yang Wu shouted in his heart.

"Master!" Chi Yan's voice immediately rang in Yang Wu's mind.

"Have the points from the qualifying rounds been credited to your account?" Yang Wu asked with a smile.

Although Yang Wu had previously won first place in the Primal Secret Realm Master-level Qualifying Battle, the qualifying battle did not end immediately.

Some geniuses who ranked lower in the Genius Battle still had to compete with some geniuses from the Primordial Secret Realm for the remaining Primordial Secret Realm Master-level spots, so Yang Wu's points did not arrive immediately.

"Master, the ten billion points for first place in the qualifying battle have been credited to your account!" Chi Yan said hurriedly.

"That's good!" Yang Wu said with a smile, "If these points didn't come soon, my Time Palace would be unable to afford them!"

"However, now that the points have been credited to my account, I'll go and study the Chaos Stele one more time!"

With his increased wealth, he was able to use a higher multiple of time flow when he was studying the Chaos Stele.

……

However, just as Yang Wu was about to study the Chaos Stele, a figure dressed in a blue battle robe suddenly appeared in front of him.

The newcomer was none other than the Nine Swords Venerable.

"Teacher?" Yang Wu was slightly taken aback when he saw the Nine Swords Venerable.

At this moment, the Nine Swords Venerable should be exploring the secret realm, so why did he come to this primordial universe?

In the living room of Yang Wu's cultivation residence.

The Nine Swords Venerable sat on the soft sofa, staring at Yang Wu, while Yang Wu stood respectfully to the side.

"How much time has passed since you arrived in Chaos City?"

The Nine Swords Venerable looked at Yang Wu seriously and exclaimed, "During this time, you little fellow have brought countless shocks to everyone! I really don't know how you cultivated!"

"teacher!"

Yang Wu bowed respectfully and said, "I am so fortunate to have made such great progress thanks to the Time Palace that Master helped me apply for!"

"The Temple of Time?" the Nine Swords Venerable asked doubtfully. "The Temple of Time is ultimately just an auxiliary facility. Besides, with your limited resources, how long can you sustain it?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Wu quickly gave the reasons he had prepared beforehand.

"Master, although I don't have many resources, I've used them wisely! I left the Time Palace in the Primal Universe, where my Flame God Clan avatar resides."

"Normally, I operate the Time Palace at five times the time flow rate, but when I go to study the Chaos Stele, I operate the Time Palace at fifty times the time flow rate."

"In this way, each time the disciple comprehends the Chaos Stele, the Yan God Clan avatar can spend several years comprehending it."

"That's a good idea!" The Nine Swords Venerable's eyes lit up. "Unfortunately, most geniuses can't replicate this method!"

Leaving aside the extremely rare talent of creating clones, even a secret technique like that of the "Chaos Monument Guardian" Kander is very difficult to cultivate before breaking through to immortality.

However, after breaking through to immortality, most powerful individuals are able to condense a divine avatar.

Unfortunately, splitting off a divine incarnation greatly affects one's own strength, so very few immortal gods would do this.

As for the Cosmic Venerables, they can easily condense divine power avatars, but for them, comprehending the Chaos Stele is of little significance.

"However, maintaining the Time Palace at fifty times the time flow rate for one day consumes more than 20 million Chaos Units of resources. You little guy are quite willing to spend that much!" Nine Swords Venerable sighed.

Such resource consumption is something that even someone as a supreme being of the universe cannot ignore.

"I'm just trying to become stronger faster!" Yang Wu said helplessly.

"So you plan to keep the Time Palace running indefinitely?" The Nine Swords Venerable looked at Yang Wu and continued, "I really don't know what you're thinking! With your limited wealth, even if you operated the Time Palace at five times the time flow rate, it wouldn't last long!"

Even though Yang Wu has made astonishing progress with the help of the Time Palace, the Nine Swords Venerable still cannot understand Yang Wu's actions.

After all, for a world lord who has lived for thousands of epochs, it is completely unnecessary to spend so many resources to save a few hundred years!

Yang Wu nodded and said affirmatively, "My current strength is sufficient to go to the outer battlefield for training. As for the resources needed to maintain the operation of the Time Palace in the future, that will naturally fall on the shoulders of the many powerful alien races on the outer battlefield!"

"You plan to go to the extraterritorial battlefield?" The Nine Swords Venerable frowned slightly, and said seriously, "Are you aware that countless powerful alien races are eager to kill you?"

"To have reached such a level in just a few hundred years—your growth rate has even startled me, your teacher, let alone those alien races. Now, all sorts of news about you are flying around the universe, saying that if you continue to grow, our human race will produce another ruler of the universe!"

"This disciple understands!" Yang Wu nodded earnestly.

"Then you still want to go to the extraterritorial battlefield?" Nine Swords Venerable frowned.

"Do you know that the Machine Race, the Zerg Race, and the Demon Race are all determined to eliminate you as a threat? Even if you stay within human territory, you'll be assassinated. And you still want to go to the outer battlefields?"

"The extraterrestrial battlefield is teeming with powerful alien beings, and even the Supreme Beings of the Universe forbid entry. Without the timely protection of powerful human warriors, you will be in grave danger!"

"In my opinion, you should go to the Star Domain Prison for training. That way, your safety will be guaranteed!" Nine Swords Venerable said with concern.

"Master, have you forgotten about my Fiery God Clan avatar?" Yang Wu smiled slightly. "Once we reach the outer battlefield, I will primarily use the Fiery God Clan avatar. I doubt anyone will guess my true identity!"

The Star Domain Prison is home to countless powerful individuals and is guarded by the Star Prison Demon Lord, making it a truly excellent training ground.

In the original work, Hong trained in the Star Domain Prison when he was at the Realm Lord level.

But how much wealth do the powerful beings in the Star Domain Prison possess?

If Yang Wu wants to obtain a large amount of resources, he will inevitably have to go to the battlefield outside the domain.

As long as he can successfully seize the precious Purple Bell from the Purple Bell King on the Flame Sacrifice Continent, he won't have to worry about the resources needed to maintain the Time Palace for a long time to come.

Even more importantly, the Star Tower is also located in the outer battlefield.

Although Yang Wu did not intend to acknowledge the Star Tower as his master, he was thinking that once he unleashed the potential of his Yan God Clan clone, he would have the opportunity to become the disciple of the Mountain-Sitting Guest!

"I had forgotten about that!" The Nine Swords Venerable nodded and said, "The Flame God Clan and our human race have always been irreconcilable enemies. Even without territorial conflicts, they often join other factions in the extraterritorial battlefield and fight against us humans."

"If you were to use a avatar of the Flame God Clan to venture into the outer battlefield of the Chaotic Domain, you would indeed be much safer!"

"Now that you've made up your mind, I'll give you the gift I've prepared!"

After speaking, the Nine Swords Venerable flipped his hand, and an ancient battle armor and a long spear that was entirely crimson appeared in mid-air.

The ancient armor was three meters tall, dark gold in color, with countless crimson runes flowing across its surface. In the center, there was a faint dragon-shaped phantom, as if it had existed for countless ages, exuding an aura that made people's hearts tremble.

As for the other spear, it was about four meters long, with countless complex runes engraved on its body. Just by placing it there, Yang Wu felt an aura of dominance and tyranny rushing towards him.

"This is the 'Flame Dragon Armor,' a priceless treasure I obtained from Venerable Thunder, along with a powerful spear!"

With a wave of his hand, the Nine Swords Venerable sent two precious treasures flying directly to Yang Wu.

"Two precious treasures?" Yang Wu was slightly taken aback.

Although Yang Wu already knew from the simulation that the Nine Swords Venerable had prepared a powerful weapon for him, he did not expect that the Nine Swords Venerable would also prepare a powerful suit of armor for him.

For a cosmic overlord, two ordinary treasures are nothing special.

However, for the Nine Swords Venerable, the two treasures were quite important.

In the original novel, the Nine Swords Venerable borrowed the Supreme Armor from Luo Feng, and the price he paid was only ten precious treasures.

"Both of these treasures are of the fire element, which is a perfect match for you." The Nine Swords Venerable gestured for Yang Wu to accept the treasures.

"Thank you, Teacher!" Yang Wu said with immense gratitude.

With these two treasures, his combat power and defense will be greatly enhanced.

Seeing Yang Wu accept the two treasures, the Nine Swords Venerable continued, "This precious armor, the 'Flame Dragon Armor,' was obtained by Thunder Venerable from other Venerables. It possesses extremely astonishing defense. Even an attack from a Universe Venerable can be weakened to one-tenth of its original strength. If you cultivate an Immortal-level auxiliary life form to complement it, your survival ability will be greatly enhanced."

Upon hearing this, Yang Wu's heart stirred.

This Flame Dragon Armor is indeed one of the most needed treasures for him at this stage, even more so than that precious spear.

After all, only by staying alive can one continuously become stronger.

In the original story, before Luo Feng had fully matured, he relied on his astonishing defensive capabilities to wear down one powerful enemy after another.

"As for this precious spear, it was recently crafted by Venerable Thunderclap, and the secret runes engraved on it are extremely suitable for powerful individuals who have comprehended the laws of fire to wield!"

The Nine Swords Venerable said with a smile, "Because it is newly made, it doesn't have a name yet. It's waiting for you, its master, to name it."

Yang Wu held the crimson spear in his hand, feeling its astonishing weight.

This crimson spear truly lives up to its reputation as a treasure; its weight alone is comparable to that of an interstellar warship.

Of course, at Yang Wu's level, he could destroy a planet with a flick of his wrist, so this weight was like a billiard ball.

"How about calling it 'God-Slaying Spear'?" Yang Wu said softly.

"God-Slaying Spear? God-Slaying... What a fine name!" Nine Swords Venerable said with a smile.

"Did my teacher come to Chaos City just to give me these two treasures?" Yang Wu wondered to himself, while simultaneously storing the Flame Dragon Armor and the God-Slaying Spear into a world ring.

"I've come to see you this time," the Nine Swords Venerable continued, "firstly, to entrust these two precious treasures to you, and secondly, because your understanding of the laws has reached the King-level, I've come specifically to take you to see our teacher!"

"To see the Lord of Dragons?" Yang Wu's heart stirred.

Before the last simulation ended, he had received a treasure bestowed by the Lord of Dragons.

Lord of Dragons!

No matter what, the Lord of Dragons is a universe lord who is even more ancient than the Lord of Chaos City. The treasure bestowed upon him, even if it is not a supreme treasure, should at least be a top-tier treasure, right?

Yang Wu was filled with anticipation.

"Let's go!" With a wave of his hand, the Nine Swords Venerable immediately brought Yang Wu and his companion into the control room of a giant fish-shaped spaceship.

Wow!

With a flick of its tail fin, the giant fish broke through the endless chaotic airflow and flew towards the passage between the initial universe and the primordial universe.

In the control room.

"Yang Wu!" the Nine Swords Venerable called out softly.

"Teacher!" Yang Wu replied respectfully.

"When you go to see your teacher this time, directly ask him to guide you in creating your own secret technique!" Venerable Nine Swords instructed. "With his guidance, you'll surely be able to create your own secret techniques much faster in the future!"

"Teacher, can't you give me some guidance?" Yang Wu asked in confusion.

When he created his own secret techniques in the simulated experience, he was always guided by the Nine Swords Venerable.

Moreover, compared to the Dragon Lord, whom he had only met once, Yang Wu was much closer to the Nine Swords Venerable.

The Nine Swords Venerable slowly shook his head and sighed, "Yang Wu, if you had started by creating your own secret techniques from the beginning, I could have guided you for a while. But your starting point is too high now. I'm afraid I won't be able to help you much in the future!"

It's important to understand that the Nine Swords Venerable's strongest secret technique was only at its peak level. If we strictly categorize it by level, he had probably defeated 1100 opponents.

If Yang Wu had started from a lower level, even if he hadn't comprehended the Law of Fire, his higher understanding of the Law of Space and his more exquisite secret techniques would have been able to guide Yang Wu for a period of time.

However, the level of secret techniques that Yang Wu is now displaying is already incredibly close to the peak level. Although the Nine Swords Venerable can see through it, he cannot arrange a suitable opponent for Yang Wu.

"Disciple understands!" Yang Wu replied respectfully.

At the same time, Yang Wu also felt very uncomfortable.

The Nine Swords Venerable's current mood is probably very similar to that of the Golden Light Marquis after Yang Wu won first place in the Genius Battle.

Because of Yang Wu's astonishing rate of progress, they all felt that they could no longer guide him.

I felt both relieved and disappointed...
