Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 309 Leaving Chaos City (6000 words bonus chapter for QZ丶无情's 10,000-word reward)

Ten days later.

In a virtual world constructed by the intelligent life form Chi Yan, this virtual world is simulated as a vast starry sky.

In this vast starry sky, two figures faced each other from afar. One was a black-haired youth wearing dark gold armor, while the other was an old man wearing gold armor, with blue skin and a golden mark between his eyebrows.

These two were Yang Wu and the elder of the Golden Horn Clan, Si Fanqi, who was simulated by Chi Yan.

Yang Wu wore a pair of dark gold combat boots, with various intricate and complex runes flowing across them, exuding a heart-stopping aura. They were clearly precious treasures that had been meticulously crafted.

Yang Wu originally used the "Sky-Treading Boots," which he obtained from a cosmic-level cultivation mission secret realm. These boots were a flight equipment specializing in spatial laws, worth over a million points, comparable to the equipment used by a Marquis-level immortal god.

However, for Yang Wu now, the Sky-Stepping Boots he used to wear are no longer able to keep up with his progress, so they have to be discarded.

When Yang Wu purchased equipment last time, he spent 1.2 million points to have the weapon refiners inside the Virtual Universe Company craft these combat boots for him.

Because Yang Wu is nostalgic and because of his self-created movement technique "Nine Steps to Heaven", he named the newly made combat boots "Treading Heaven Boots".

The newly crafted "Sky-Treading Boots" are extremely valuable, and because they perfectly match Yang Wu's self-created movement technique "Nine Steps to Sky-Treading," they provide an astonishing boost to Yang Wu's movement speed.

Suddenly, Terafan Ki, who was not far away, flipped his hand, and a large, jet-black hammer immediately appeared in his hand.

boom!

Terahan Ki suddenly waved his hand, and the black hammer flashed with dazzling golden light as it slammed down on Yang Wu.

"Well done!"

Yang Wu roared, then stepped into the void, instantly unleashing an astonishing speed, as fast as lightning. He streaked across the silent void with a dark golden light, his figure constantly shifting, like a ghost.

The black hammer was incredibly fast in the hands of a peak-level King-level expert like Terafan Ki, but it could never catch up with the ghostly figure of Yang Wu.

suddenly--

Yang Wu, who was constantly dodging, suddenly stopped and thrust out with his spear.

Rumble...

The point where the Broken Army Spear and the black hammer collided was like the birth of a dazzling sun; the terrifying heat generated by the impact alone distorted the surrounding space.

The immense shockwave generated by the collision of the incredibly powerful forces swept in all directions; this force alone was enough to annihilate ordinary immortal gods.

After the attack, Terafan Ki was blasted back more than ten kilometers, while Yang Wu was completely unharmed.

"Again!"

call out!

Yang Wu shifted his position and charged towards Si Fanqi once again.

The blinding crimson spear light flashed continuously, and within the spear light, there was a faint phantom of a beast god roaring to the sky, which constantly exuded an aura of domineering tyranny.

The tip of the Broken Army Spear was like a crimson lightning bolt, constantly stabbing towards Terafan Ki, who had not yet reacted or had time to defend himself.

puff!

The power of the Broken Army Spear was heaven-defying; wherever it passed, space distorted, and even shockwaves were generated that could be seen with the naked eye. Finally, it pierced hard into Terafan Ki's battle armor.

boom! !

Yang Wu's all-out attack was incredibly powerful. Terafan Ki was sent flying far away by the enormous impact, like a shooting star.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Wu caught up again and thrust out with his spear once more.

And so, Terafan Ki was continuously ravaged by Yang Wu.

A moment later, the battle ended. Yang Wu stopped his attack, and although Terafan Qi was in a rather disheveled state, he was unharmed.

With a wave of his hand, Yang Wu caused Si Fanqi to vanish instantly, leaving Yang Wu alone standing in the vast starry sky.

At this moment, Yang Wu pondered: "Although I have barely reached the combat strength of the King-level limit, if we were to actually fight, I would not be much stronger than the peak King-level."

For the past ten days, Yang Wu has been fighting against some powerful immortal gods in the virtual space created by Chi Yan.

Of course, the virtual space created by Chi Yan is not as comprehensive as the virtual universe, and the opponents are quite limited, all of whom are powerful figures that Yang Wu is quite familiar with.

However, Yang Wu's strength has suddenly increased dramatically this time. If he were to immediately display his strength in the virtual universe, it would certainly arouse suspicion from many people.

Only an intelligent life form like Chi Yan, which can never betray you, can truly put Yang Wu at ease.

Therefore, Yang Wu could only have Chi Yan simulate some powerful figures he was familiar with to fight.

Through these continuous battles, Yang Wu also became increasingly familiar with his own strength.

"I'm now a typical example of someone with high offense but low defense, which is completely opposite to when Luo Feng first entered the extraterritorial battlefield." Yang Wu frowned slightly.

In battles between the strong, the most important thing is actually defensive tactics.

With Yang Wu's current combat strength, which has barely reached the limit of the King-level, he is fully capable of killing a King-level Immortal God in battle.

However, he was unable to withstand the self-destruction of an immortal god at the initial stage of being a king.

Yang Wu's current defensive methods mainly come from three aspects: first, using peak secret techniques to attack instead of defending; second, the absolute defense of the Flame Dragon Armor; and finally, the defense of the metal life form Kash.

The self-destruction of a newly ascended King-level Immortal God is probably stronger than the normal attack of an ordinary King-level peak expert. It can kill a peak Marquis-level expert and severely injure a newly ascended King-level Immortal God.

Of course, there are differences between the two.

Faced with the ordinary attacks of a peak-level King-rank expert, Yang Wu could easily block them using his peak secret technique. However, when faced with the self-destruction of a low-level King-rank immortal god, he could only rely on the Flame Dragon Armor and the low-level King-rank auxiliary metal life form Kash to withstand it.

The Flame Dragon Armor can reduce the power of a self-destruction to one-tenth of its original value, drastically reducing its power to the level equivalent to the self-destruction of a peak-level Marquis.

The auxiliary metal life form Kash is best at possession techniques. Unlike auxiliary plant life forms such as Moyun Vine, it is not good at self-protection. Its defensive capabilities are roughly the same as those of an ordinary early-stage immortal god.

While the self-destruction of a peak Marquis-level expert could not seriously injure an early-stage King-level Immortal God, it was quite easy to shatter their divine body.

Once Kashgar's divine body is shattered, Yang Wu's world lord-level divine body will have to face the impact directly. Even if its power is almost gone, Yang Wu's human body will still be at risk of perishing.

"Although I can kill a beginner-level Immortal King, if I force him to self-destruct, I will lose more than I gain!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

"Furthermore, while I can ravage and shatter the divine bodies of high-ranking immortal gods, I cannot harm their essence! As for peak-ranking immortals, each of them possesses astonishing abilities; those skilled in teleportation and time-stopping are beyond my ability to even suppress!"

Yang Wu knew very well that the reason he was able to crush the Golden Horn Clan Elder Si Fanqi in the battle just now was entirely because the battle space had been sealed off, preventing the opponent from using teleportation.

However, in a real-world battle, Yang Wu would be unable to use spatial sealing on his own, and would be completely helpless against a powerful opponent who could teleport.

"With all my methods at my disposal, killing a peak-level Marquis is no danger at all. Even if the opponent self-destructs, it won't harm me!"

"Once the life gene level of my Flame God Clan avatar is upgraded, my defense will increase significantly. Then I can go and kill Immortal Gods at the initial stage of the King-level!"

After ten days of fighting, Yang Wu finally determined his main target in the extraterritorial battlefield—an immortal god at the Marquis level.

Fighting against a King-level Immortal is quite dangerous, while a Military Lord-level Immortal has very little wealth and cannot accumulate enough resources to operate the Time Palace.

Only those at the Marquis level of Immortal can be easily killed, and their wealth is also astonishing.

"It's time to leave!" Yang Wu sighed softly, and then his consciousness left the virtual space.

……

On the rooftop of a quiet cultivation residence in Chaos City, Yang Wu slowly rose.

Whoosh!

Yang Wu leaped down and landed in front of his cultivation residence. At the same time, he gently placed his hand on the door.

The color of the gate to the cultivation residence slowly changed, returning to a pale white that signified that no one lived there anymore.

"With the existence of the Time Simulator and the Time Palace, I haven't spent too much time living in this Chaos City," Yang Wu sighed softly.

Without the help of these two treasures, even at his current cultivation speed, it would probably take him hundreds of thousands of years to achieve such a level of accomplishment within Chaos City.

But now, he has only lived in Chaos City for a few decades.

Yang Wu shook his head gently to dispel the various thoughts in his mind, and then turned and hurried to his senior brother Latte's cultivation residence.

At this moment, Latte has successfully crossed the threshold of the Law of Fire and is now calmly comprehending the Law of Fire, hoping to pass through the first level of the Bridge to Heaven as soon as possible.

Even though Latte wasn't a core member of Virtual Universe Company, she had heard some rumors about Yang Wu while staying in Chaos City.

Therefore, he was not surprised by Yang Wu's departure.

After receiving Latte's blessings, Yang Wu left Latte's cultivation residence.

Upon arriving on the streets of Chaos City, Yang Wu once again headed to the cultivation residence of his mentor, Sword King.

Sword King guided Yang Wu for a long time, especially in the area of ​​the Law of Metal, which greatly helped Yang Wu.

Now that we are about to leave Chaos City, it is natural to go and say goodbye.

In fact, Yang Wu had also fought against Jianhuang Wang in the virtual world created by Chi Yan, but he was killed by Jianhuang Wang.

After all, Sword King was able to create his own peak secret technique, and his strength was far beyond that of ordinary King-level experts.

Although Yang Wu could barely hold his own against his opponent, he would be killed instantly if he was careless and failed to block the opponent's attack.

"Your Highness Yang Wu!"

"Your Highness!"

Walking through the Sword Emperor's mansion, the occasional Sword Emperor's disciples would greet Yang Wu warmly.

Sword King was merely Yang Wu's mentor; these people couldn't possibly call Yang Wu their junior brother.

Moreover, the news that Yang Wu had won first place in the World Lord level qualification battle had already spread, so these people naturally treated Yang Wu with great enthusiasm.

Soon, Yang Wu arrived at an exquisite courtyard.

In the courtyard, King Jianhuang was drinking with a burly ape-man clad in golden armor.

"Come in!" King Jianhuang said with a smile after seeing Yang Wu appear.

"Teacher, True King Yan!" Yang Wu entered the courtyard and bowed.

"Are you leaving?" King Jianhuang looked at Yang Wu and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He is a powerful expert at the pinnacle of the King level, holding an extremely high position in the Virtual Universe Company. Even some peerless geniuses who want to become his disciples might not be considered worthy of his attention.

While Yang Wu was indeed exceptionally talented, he wouldn't have bothered to become a mere mentor.

However, since the Nine Swords Venerable personally invited him, and one of his favorite disciples, Qian Shui, was Yang Wu's wife, he reluctantly agreed.

Later, Yang Wu's progress in comprehending the laws of metal was slow, and he even advised Yang Wu to give up.

Up until now, Yang Wu's progress has become increasingly astonishing, even to the point that it is unbelievable to him.

In addition, Yang Wu is extremely respectful of his teachers, so even though he is just Yang Wu's mentor, Sword King feels quite honored.

"Yes, teacher!" Yang Wu said with a smile, "My progress in comprehending the laws has become quite slow. It's time for me to go out and see the outside world!"

Sword King looked intently at Yang Wu and exclaimed in amazement, "Yang Wu, I have never seen, or even heard of, such a genius as you. Without a doubt, your future achievements will be astonishing. But…"

Sword King changed the subject, continuing, "The path to becoming a strong person is extremely perilous; the slightest carelessness can lead to death. One must be extremely cautious!"

"Indeed!" said the ape-man king Zhenyan beside him. "One must be extremely careful on the path to becoming a strongman."

"Millions of years ago, Coty, a peerless genius of my time, hailed as a once-in-tens of millions of years for our human race, perished at the hands of an alien race before he could achieve immortality!"

"Yang Wu, your talent is now even more astonishing than Koti's, and the alien race's methods will likely be even more terrifying. You must be prepared!"

"Thank you for your admonition, King Zhenyan!" Yang Wu said respectfully.

"Hahaha... I was just making a casual remark!" King Zhenyan said with a laugh, "Come, let's have a drink and wish Yang Wu a speedy breakthrough to immortality!"

Immediately, King Zhenyan waved his hand, and a wine cup appeared out of thin air in front of Yang Wu.

"I hope that your name, Yang Wu, will resound throughout the universe and among billions of races," said King Jianhuang, raising his cup in return.

"Thank you, Teacher!" Yang Wu raised his glass.

The three of them drank the wine in their cups in one gulp, and Yang Wu then took his leave.

……

Spaceships frequently travel between the Initial Universe and the Virtual Universe Company's Universal Headquarters via the "Cosmic Channel".

Since Yang Wu had already decided to leave, he naturally investigated the relevant information and submitted his departure application.

Given Yang Wu's current authority, the staff in Chaos City naturally dared not neglect him, and thus immediately arranged the fastest spaceship for him.

Whoosh!

Clad in dark gold Flame Dragon Armor, Yang Wu soared into the sky, flying directly towards the sky above Chaos City, where an extremely large spaceship was parked.

"Your Highness Yang Wu, we are all ready!" An immortal deity dressed in purple stood at the door of the spaceship and said respectfully upon seeing Yang Wu appear.

Let's go!

Yang Wu glanced back at Chaos City, which was surrounded by endless chaotic energy, and then flew directly into the spaceship.

Wow!

The hatch closed.

"Rumble..."

The long, shuttle-shaped spaceship quickly started up and flew into the depths of the chaotic airflow.

……

Original Universe, the headquarters of Virtual Universe Company across the entire universe.

In the dreamlike starry sky, an incredibly vast continent floats, with enormous stars hovering around it as if they were mere embellishments.

Rumble...

With a loud bang, two enormous gates at the core of the mainland headquarters opened automatically, revealing a magnificent passageway.

This is the cosmic passage between the initial universe and the primordial universe!

A long, shuttle-shaped spaceship slowly emerged from the passageway, then accelerated, and landed at a distribution center a few minutes later.

Whoosh!

The hatch opened.

"Your Highness Yang Wu, please!"

"Your Highness Yang Wu!"

At the spaceship's hatch, everyone was extremely enthusiastic, and even the immortal king who was in charge of the spaceship came over.

This is not surprising.

Although Yang Wu's identity as a disciple of the Dragon Lord has not been made public, the fact that he defeated the number one master of the Primordial Secret Realm after cultivating for hundreds of years has indeed spread. These people are knowledgeable and naturally know how extraordinary Yang Wu's talent is.

call!

Yang Wu smiled and nodded, then flew directly towards the Nine Swords Venerable Manor in the core area.

On their journey to the outer battlefield, the avatars of the Flame God Clan will be indispensable as a powerful future fighting force.

In the manor of the Nine Swords Venerable, Yang Wu and the Yan God Clan avatar reunited and left an incarnation in the Time Palace.

This avatar was created by Yang Wu based on a secret technique recorded in the Time and Space Notes. It has no power of its own and can only serve to transmit messages. However, it is perfectly suitable for use in the Time Palace to perfect his self-created secret technique.

After dealing with the issues at the Time Palace, Yang Wu, guided by the staff, arrived at the centralized teleportation area.

This area is dotted with 36 fixed spatial tunnels that can quickly transport people to important locations within human territory.

"Your Highness Yang Wu!" An immortal deity with green skin walked towards Yang Wu.

Most of the staff in this area are domain lords and realm lords; the immortal gods can be considered leaders.

"His Highness has requested to go to Branch 9, which happens to be the area under my jurisdiction, Pupuka!" the green-skinned immortal god said with a smile. "I received the news and immediately came here to wait!"

"Thank you so much, Pupuka!" Yang Wu said with a smile, naturally not ignoring the goodwill shown by the other party.

"Haha, it's my pleasure!" After receiving Yang Wu's thanks, Pu Pu Ka's smile widened, and he quickly led Yang Wu to a spatial passage that resembled a water curtain.

Meanwhile, Pupuka continued to explain the important information about the spatial passage to Yang Wu: "Your Highness Yang Wu, this spatial passage connects to Branch 9, which is the closest point to your destination..."

Yang Wu smiled and nodded. After thanking the other party, he took a step and entered the water curtain in front of him.

The so-called fixed spatial channel also uses the divine kingdom as a transit station, and the master of the divine kingdom used is essentially offering his divine kingdom to the virtual universe company.

Of course, in this way, his divine kingdom was also made incredibly safe by the Virtual Universe Company, so strictly speaking, he still made a profit.

Through the space tunnel, Yang Wu instantly arrived at Branch 9, hundreds of millions of light-years away. He then boarded a spaceship and headed to his first destination—the Wulong Star Region.

The garbage mountain in the Wulong Starfield contains a large number of fragments of Yan Shen Clan soldiers' armor and general's armor, which can enhance the strength of Yan Shen Clan clones at a very low cost. Yang Wu naturally wanted to give it a try.

On his way to the Wulong Star Region, Yang Wu connected his consciousness to the virtual universe and directly purchased a year's worth of Taobao services.

The spaceship traveled at fifty times the speed of light in the dark universe and finally arrived at the Wulong Starfield a month and a half later.

The Wulong Starfield, one of the nine garbage starfields, is actually considered one of the treasure troves for the human race.

If we disregard the issue of territory, the wealth of that garbage star system is even greater than that of a cosmic nation.

The dark starry sky trembled, and then a red triangular spaceship appeared out of thin air.

……

Inside the spaceship's control room, Yang Wu looked at the vast palace complex ahead and then directed the spaceship to fly towards the core area of ​​the palace complex.

The entire palace complex is over 100,000 kilometers long and wide, surrounded by squads of black-armored guards on patrol, and has an extremely powerful defense and vigilance system.

Yang Wu, however, traveled without any obstacles and received no messages of obstruction.

Upon arriving at the core area, Yang Wu, guided by the staff, boarded a spaceship and flew towards the palace of Longjue Wang, the head of the Virtual Universe Company.

At this moment, five powerful figures were already waiting in front of King Longjue's palace. The aura emanating from them had all reached the level of a king. They were the five leaders of the five major forces in the Wulong Star Region.

At the same time, Yang Wu, who had arrived above the palace, had already put away his spaceship and was flying towards King Longjue and the others.

"Your Highness Yang Wu!" King Longjue and the others hurriedly greeted Yang Wu with smiles.

Even the proud Nightmare Candle King had a smile on his face at this moment.

In fact, given Nightmare King's status, he wouldn't care even if someone were an invincible king.

But Yang Wu is different. During this time, Yang Wu's reputation has spread throughout the universe. Even his father, who is a high-level cosmic being, believes that he will not be Yang Wu's match in the future.

Of course, the Nightmare Candle King would try to cultivate a good relationship with such a peerless genius with unlimited potential.

"King Longjue!" Having already met him once in the virtual universe, Yang Wu immediately recognized King Longjue's identity.

After King Longjue introduced the identities of the other four people, Yang Wu received a warm welcome from the five of them.

...Inside the hall.

A sumptuous feast was laid out, and Yang Wu and five others took their seats.

"Your Highness Yang Wu has cultivated for hundreds of years and yet defeated the number one genius at the Master level of the Primordial Secret Realm. Such talent is simply unheard of!" King Longjue raised his wine cup and exclaimed, "To Your Highness's talent, cheers!"

Everyone raised their glasses, and Yang Wu followed suit.

Drink it all in one gulp!

"Yang..." The incomparably handsome Nightmare Candle King was about to speak when Yang Wu interrupted him: "King Longjue, I came to the Wulong Starfield this time to relax in the Garbage Mountain. Let's talk business first!"

Just as the Nightmare Candle King was about to speak, Yang Wu interrupted him, which made him somewhat angry, but he still had to hold back.

"It is indeed important business!" King Nightmare Candle said, forcing a smile.

Seeing the Nightmare Candle King's attitude, the others couldn't help but become even more enthusiastic towards Yang Wu.

Among them, the Nightmare Candle King had the most powerful background, and usually, King Longjue and others would give way to him.

But now, even the Nightmare Candle King from his previous life had to bow down in front of Yang Wu, so the others naturally became even more enthusiastic.

Soon, Yang Wu obtained the World Ring and authorization, enabling him to view the surveillance map of the entire Wulong Starfield at any time.

Immediately afterward, Yang Wu rushed to the garbage mountain to search for treasures.

……

Chapter 46 of Part 15

His self-destruction at the peak of his kingship was comparable to the combined attack of a million-strong army of world lords (with power ten million times that of world lords).

Capable of killing a high-level King and severely injuring a peak King.

When Night King (Peak of Kinghood) self-destructed, Tiger Thorn King (Limit of Kinghood)'s divine body was blasted apart, but his divine power was not diminished.

Therefore, the power of a self-destruction weakened to the peak of the Marquis level could blast open the body of a low-level King-level Kashgar, thus attacking Yang Wu's human body. No problem...
