Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

第346章 第344：激战，基因突破的秘密（6000字，1月4号补更）

"Such incredible burst speed! Truly worthy of being a peerless, invincible powerhouse!"

Upon witnessing the astonishing burst speed of the Crimson Rainbow King, Yang Wu sighed inwardly.

Since arriving at this extraterrestrial battlefield, he has never encountered a powerhouse with such astonishing burst speed.

The burst speed of the Crimson Rainbow King before them was almost comparable to that of someone who had created his own peak secret technique.

However, this is quite normal, as burst speed often depends on movement-enhancing treasures, movement-enhancing secret techniques, and one's own basic strength.

What does it mean to be invincible as a king?

They are top-tier powerhouses who have no weaknesses in any aspect, such as genes, amplitude techniques, treasures, and self-created techniques.

Perhaps some invincible kings have amazing advantages in a certain aspect, but they cannot have obvious weaknesses in other aspects. Otherwise, how can they escape from the hands of the cosmic lords?

Perhaps Crimson Rainbow King is inferior to Yang Wu in terms of self-created secret techniques related to movement, but his basic strength far surpasses that of Yang Wu, so it is not surprising that he has such an amazing burst speed.

"Since I can't escape for the time being, I have no choice but to fight. It's a good opportunity for me to see how big the gap is between myself and a true invincible king!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

At the same time, Yang Wu also had another thought in his mind.

The Crimson Rainbow King before him was an invincible powerhouse from the Flame God Clan, and he was closely related to the Flame God Clan's gene breakthrough method that he had previously guessed. Perhaps he could use the other party to break through?

Thinking of this, the Yan God Clan clone also used his movement and spear techniques to meet the attack.

At this moment, the imposing figure of the Crimson Rainbow King had already traversed tens of thousands of kilometers and arrived directly in front of the Flame God Clan's avatar. Then, the two longswords emanating a faint, cold light slashed down fiercely, and wherever the blade passed, the spatial fragments were instantly reduced to nothing.

call out!call out!call out!

The Fiery God Clan clone streaked across the scene like a ghostly phantom, while the God-Slaying Spear in its hand also rotated slightly, meeting the longsword in the Crimson Rainbow King's hand at an extremely precise angle.

boom! boom! boom!

The longsword and the God-Slaying Spear collided violently, crushing and shattering space into basic particle streams.

The violent collision caused the Flame God Clan clone to feel slightly uncomfortable. Since arriving at the extraterrestrial battlefield, he had never felt this way in a direct battle.

At the same time, Yang Wu also received a telepathic message from the support life form Kash: "Master! That attack just now was almost at my limit. If the attack had been any stronger, my divine body would have been shattered!"

"What?" Yang Wu was quite surprised.

It's important to understand that this is not the previous low-level King-rank auxiliary metal lifeform, Kash, but a peak-rank King-rank auxiliary metal lifeform that he cultivated at a cost of nearly 100 billion Chaos Units.

Although Kashgar cannot compare to a true defensive support life form like Moyunteng in terms of defense, it is still a genuine peak-level King.

With the weakening effect of the Flame God Clan King Armor outside, it is completely capable of withstanding the self-destruction of a peak-level King.

And the attack of the Crimson Rainbow King, even after being weakened by his spear technique, still possessed such astonishing power?

Unbeknownst to Yang Wu, the Crimson Rainbow King was also secretly shocked.

"With my strength, even with the weakening effect of the King's Armor, this God-Slaying King should at least have his body shattered by my attack!"

As a member of the Flame God Clan, the Crimson Rainbow King naturally had a deep understanding of the King Armor, a type of armor exclusive to the Flame God Clan.

Although King Armor can weaken the enemy's physical and spiritual attacks by more than 90%, who is Crimson Rainbow King? He is a true invincible king, the kind of person who can survive even in front of a true cosmic venerable.

He had just used his strongest attack to intimidate the God of Slaughter, but unexpectedly, such a powerful attack did not cause any effective damage to the God of Slaughter.

"It's because of his spear technique!" After a moment's thought, Crimson Rainbow King discovered the crux of the problem: "His spear technique is even more refined than my swordsmanship, thus weakening most of the attack's power!"

"Not bad marksmanship!" King Crimson Rainbow transmitted his voice, "I just wonder if this marksmanship was created by you, God of Slaughter, or if you obtained it from someone else!"

Although the God of Slaughter was very powerful, he posed no threat to him.

However, the spear technique used by the God of Slaughter was quite shocking to him.

"Each shot interprets the laws so beautifully, yet it's neither the law of space nor the law of time! And the phantom of a colossal beast appears within that spear technique—could it be a fusion of laws?"

King Crimson Rainbow pondered to himself.

Logically speaking, no matter what kind of secret technique it is, the laws it contains can all be classified into the ten basic laws of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, light, time, and space. However, the God-Slaying King Spear Technique does not contain any of these ten laws.

However, although no one in the Yan God Clan has received the inheritance of the Beast God, the leader of the Yan God Clan, the Yan Emperor, holds an extremely high position in the Nine Domains Alliance.

Although the Nine Domains Alliance cannot compare to top-tier forces such as the Hong Alliance and the Zerg Alliance, it can still be considered a second-tier force in this vast universe, naturally attracting countless races to join.

As an invincible powerhouse within the Yan God Clan, the Crimson Rainbow King commands respect even from ordinary Universe Venerables within the Nine Domains Alliance, making him naturally well-informed.

Even the Crimson Rainbow King had once sparred with a powerful expert who had received the inheritance of the Beast God, so he knew about the special path of law that was the Way of the Beast God.

However, the Beast God Dao that Yang Wu comprehended was different from that of the King-level expert he had fought before, and the Beast God phantom contained in his moves was not the same Beast God, so he couldn't tell the difference for a while.

"It's been a long time since I've encountered such an interesting opponent, this is truly exhilarating!" King Crimson Rainbow looked at the Flame God Clan avatar and laughed loudly, "However, even with your amazing spear skills, you will never be my match!"

"If you make even the slightest mistake, I can shatter your immortal divine body and then annihilate you without end!"

As the saying goes, "What is held for too long will eventually be lost!"

The opponent's strength was indeed somewhat inferior to his, so Crimson Rainbow King firmly believed that as long as his attacks were more frequent, the God of Slaughter would definitely be unable to withstand them.

"Oh?"

The avatar of the Flame God Clan looked at the Crimson Rainbow King, his eyes burning with boundless fighting spirit: "Then I'll wait and see!"

At this moment, Yang Wu seemed to have returned to the time when he had just become Jin Guanghou's disciple and went to the Thunder Realm Lord World.

That was when he had just reached the eighth level of the Domain, and in order to comprehend the Law of Fire as soon as possible, he chose to take a life-or-death adventure.

In fact, even without that life-or-death adventure, he could have quickly grasped the laws with the help of the simulator.

However, if he did that, his position as the number one in the Peak Genius Battle might be taken by someone else, and he wouldn't have the opportunities he has now.

Unfortunately, with the help of the simulator, he has rarely experienced such dangerous battles along the way.

Just like before, he had accumulated wealth of hundreds of billions of mixed units, but every battle was a massacre, and there was no challenge for him at all.

Now, facing this invincible powerhouse of the Yan God Clan, Yang Wu felt an overwhelming fighting spirit rise within him once more.

Of course, with his current strength, he has absolutely no chance of defeating an invincible king. Being able to force the opponent to retreat would be a success!

"Crimson Flame, shield the Blood Blade Squad from the perception of the battle outside!" Yang Wu commanded the intelligent life form in his mind.

"Yes, Master!" Chi Yan knew that Yang Wu was facing a difficult battle, so he quickly replied.

Just after Crimson Flame shielded the Blood Blade Squad's senses...

boom!

An extremely powerful aura suddenly soared into the sky, and the figure of a powerful figure reappeared in the void.

He was less than two meters tall, holding a crimson spear in his hand. His entire body was shrouded in an ancient, dark gold armor with countless crimson runes flowing across it. In the center, there was a faint dragon-shaped phantom, exuding a chilling aura. It was Yang Wu's true form as an Earthling.

"Humans?"

Just as the Crimson Rainbow King was about to continue his attack, he suddenly noticed another powerful figure appearing not far away, whose aura was equally astonishing.

But when the Crimson Rainbow King saw this newly appeared powerful figure, he became even angrier.

Because... this powerful figure was a human, a human whom the Yan Shen clan utterly despised.

"Damn God-Slaying King, how dare you join forces with humans!" King Crimson Rainbow roared angrily.

hum...

With a soft sound, a sharp crimson spear light traversed the sky, directly piercing towards the Crimson Rainbow King standing in the void.

"Laughable humans!" Crimson Rainbow King paid no attention to the attack launched by Yang Wu's Earthling true form.

For him, even an attack from a peak-level King-rank expert could not harm him while he was wearing the King's Armor.

puff!

The crimson spear light slammed into the Crimson Rainbow King's brow, but the boundless power contained within it seemed to vanish without a trace, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.

"Unrivaled in the title of King, truly powerful!"

Yang Wu secretly praised himself, then stopped thinking about it and launched an attack with both clones.

"Well done!"

With a roar, the Crimson Rainbow King unleashed a fierce black blade of light that swept across thousands of kilometers, hanging in the sky and slashing fiercely toward Yang Wu.

He was well aware of the astonishing defense of the Flame God Clan King Armor, so he immediately set his sights on the newly appeared Earthling himself.

Whoosh!Whoosh!

"What keen judgment!" Yang Wu exclaimed in admiration. The Earthling's main body retreated rapidly, while the Yan God Clan clone took the initiative to meet him.

Although the Flame Dragon Armor's defensive capabilities are no less than those of the Flame God Clan's King Armor, the auxiliary metal life form on the Earthling's body is only at the initial King level, and cannot withstand the Crimson Rainbow King's thunderous attack at all, so it can only use ranged attacks.

Fortunately, although Yang Wu was not as good as the Crimson Rainbow King in terms of attack, he was slightly better in terms of movement, which allowed him to take the initiative in the battle.

"Damn God-Slaying King, damn humans!" King Crimson Rainbow was filled with rage.

His attacks were blocked by the avatars of the Flame God Clan, and he could only fight them head-on.

As for the attacks from Earthlings themselves from afar, although they could not cause him any effective damage, they still greatly interfered with his work.

Meanwhile, Yang Wu, while fighting the Crimson Rainbow King, was also constantly intercepting and analyzing the opponent's immortal divine power.

Having thoroughly studied the original work, Yang Wu naturally stood on the shoulders of giants and knew how to improve his own life genes.

In the original story, Luo Feng, after becoming the Lord of the Universe, used his Nine Netherworld Avatar to analyze various life forms in the universe, even the blood of True God-level powerhouses, which allowed him to break through the limitations of perfect genes and reach a life gene level of 16,000 times.

Of course, it would be a pipe dream for Yang Wu to study the blood of a true god-level powerhouse who has achieved perfect genes!

Even if the genes were hundreds or thousands of times stronger, Yang Wu would still have no way of analyzing them.

Yang Wu only needs to study the life genes of the Crimson Rainbow King, and he doesn't need to reconstruct the divine body. He only needs to decipher the secret of the evolution of the Yan God Clan's genes!

Although this is a difficult task, Yang Wu himself has two clones with life genes that have reached a hundred times the normal level, as well as the divine power of the Crimson Rainbow King to draw upon, so there is naturally a glimmer of hope.

hum!

A wisp of immortal divine power belonging to the Crimson Rainbow King dissipated from Yang Wu's hand.

Each immortal deity's immortal power bears the imprint of their own soul, entirely unique to them.

Although Yang Wu was able to briefly intercept the Crimson Rainbow King's immortal divine power, he was completely unable to prevent the king from recalling him without annihilating the king's divine power.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz...

Yang Wu intercepted strands of the Crimson Feather King's immortal divine power, which then dissipated back into the air, but this also allowed Yang Wu to gain a deeper understanding of it.

"The Crimson Feather King's life genes have indeed reached a hundred times that of ordinary life genes in the universe!"

Yang Wu inwardly marveled, "His strength is probably slightly greater than that of the True King, only slightly inferior in terms of self-created secret techniques!"

Every invincible king who can roam the universe has their own unique advantages.

As a human, Zhenyan Wang had weak genes and a small divine body, so he naturally had to put more effort into creating his own secret techniques.

However, for the Flame God Clan, born from the God King's mountain dweller, their life genes are inherently powerful. Among them, the gifted individuals can even increase their life genes to 16 or 32 times that of ordinary life in the universe. In this way, while it is still somewhat difficult to further increase their life genes to the limit of 100 times, it is also quite simple.

After all, the blood of the Beast God is not the only treasure in the universe that can enhance life genes!

……

As the number of encounters increased, Yang Wu's analysis of the Crimson Rainbow King's life genes became more and more thorough!

"It seems that this Crimson Feather King is a rare genius among the Yan God Clan. He has evolved his life genes to 32 times that of ordinary life in the universe simply by relying on himself!"

"As for the treasure that allowed him to reach a hundred times his genetic potential, could it be the Heaven-Mending Marrow, unique to the Zerg?" Yang Wu pondered to himself.

The "Marrow of Mending Heaven" is a treasure unique to the Zerg, a top-tier race, and is as important as the "Heart of Evolution" is to the Machine Race.

In fact, in the eyes of most powerful beings, the "Heaven-Mending Marrow" is much more important than the "Heart of Evolution," since the "Heaven-Mending Marrow" can evolve one's own life genes, while the "Heart of Evolution" is only used to cultivate intelligent life.

Initially, the "Mending Heaven Marrow" was only used to treat some insect queens with congenital deficiencies, but by chance, people discovered its amazing effects.

That is—the 'Heaven-Mending Marrow' can enhance the life gene level of those below the level of a Universe Lord.

The higher one's strength, the more "Heaven-Mending Marrow" one consumes. However, the maximum one can increase one's life genes to five times their original level, and it cannot be used in combination with other treasures that increase life genes.

Of course, although the "Marrow of Heaven Mending" cannot be increased by up to a hundred times like the "Blood of the Beast God", its value is relatively lower and the fusion difficulty is also simpler.

The Crimson Feather King's own life gene has already reached 32 times, and even if he uses the "Heaven-Mending Marrow", he can still reach the limit of 100 times his life gene. He naturally knows how to choose.

"I need to first remove the portion of genes added by the 'Heaven-Mending Marrow' before studying how his own life genes evolved!"

While desperately defending against the Crimson Rainbow King's attacks, Yang Wu continuously analyzed the opponent's life genes.

Yang Wu's thoughts were racing, while his clone in the Time Palace had accelerated the flow of time to a hundred times its limit, constantly analyzing everything he could think of.

Silently, Yang Wu continuously analyzed the wisps of immortal divine power of the Crimson Rainbow King, without any loss.

The most basic structural components of the Crimson Rainbow King's life essence slowly emerged before Yang Wu.

Complex!

Incredibly complex!

Although the Crimson Rainbow King's life gene was only a hundred times stronger, its most basic structure was incredibly complex, even surpassing any law-based secret pattern that Yang Wu had ever seen.

"The fundamental genetic makeup of this Crimson Rainbow King is extremely similar to that of the Flame God Clan's avatar!"

"As for the Earthlings themselves, although they also possess a hundred times the life genes, their complexity is far inferior to that of the Yan God Clan's life genes!"

While fighting the Crimson Rainbow King, Yang Wu was constantly pondering in his mind.

"Looks like I've finally found the right direction!"

Yang Wu continuously sensed the differences between the genes within the Yan Shen Clan clone and those within the Crimson Rainbow King. He knew very well that the secret to the Yan Shen Clan clone's continued breakthrough in life genes must lie here.

Even Yan Di, who had been abandoned by Zuo Shan Ke, was able to succeed. His current talent is not weak either, and he is also familiar with the original work. It's like he's standing on the shoulders of giants. There's no reason why he can't succeed!

"Could it be like this?" Yang Wu's mind stirred, and he began to have the Yan God Clan clone try to break through according to the feeling of the previous gene breakthroughs.

hum...

The Yan Shen clan clone felt a tremor in its life genes, which then returned to calm.

Breakthrough failed!

"Try again!"

The opportunity to encounter an invincible king-level expert from the Yan God Clan was extremely rare. Yang Wu didn't even have time to breathe a sigh of relief after his failure before continuing to try.

Meanwhile, the weak clone within the Time Palace, which was already operating at a hundred times the speed of time flow, was constantly researching everything that could be researched, and continuously analyzing the differences between the life genes of the Flame God Clan clone and the life genes of the Crimson Rainbow King.

"fail!"

"fail!"

"Breakthrough failed!"

The repeated failures did not discourage Yang Wu.

Firstly, he possessed an incredibly strong will;

Secondly, Yang Wu firmly believed that he was on the right track.

And every failure is a valuable experience that can lead to success...

The origin of life is just one of the evolutions of the universe, containing boundless mysteries. Even repeated failures will benefit Yang Wu greatly.

……

As time went by, while Yang Wu continued to study life genes, the Crimson Rainbow King finally went mad because he could not defeat the God of Slaughter!

"Damn it! Damn humans, damn God-Slaying King!" Crimson Rainbow King roared angrily in his heart.

Although he was fully capable of relentlessly ravaging the God of Slaughter, the two of them cooperated seamlessly, as if they were one entity, and he was unable to harm either of them at all.

"Ha ha!"

After one of his attacks, Crimson Rainbow King looked at the two peak-level King-ranked experts who were constantly blocking his attacks and suddenly laughed: "How long has it been? How long has it been since I encountered such a troublesome opponent?"

In fact, ever since the Crimson Rainbow King possessed the invincible strength to be crowned a king, he has been cultivating in seclusion in the Mysterious Realm of the Flame God, hoping to become the sixth Universe Venerable within the Flame God Clan.

Unfortunately, what the Crimson Rainbow King didn't know was that he was born in the Mystic Realm of Flame, so his probability of breaking through to the level of a Universe Venerable was inherently far lower than that of those born within the Universe Realm.

Yang Wu is the most formidable opponent that the Crimson Rainbow King has encountered in reality since he became invincible as a king!

"We can't delay any longer!" King Crimson Rainbow thought to himself. "If this drags on any longer, the God-Slaying King might very well call upon other powerful figures from the human camp for help!"

"This God-Slaying King is so powerful; to fulfill the leader's orders, it's worth burning a portion of my immortal divine power!"

"Now, let's end all of this!"

The Crimson Rainbow King made a decision in an instant!

boom!

Just as the dazzling blade light and the crimson spear light collided once again, an incomparably terrifying aura erupted from the Crimson Rainbow King.

That vast aura was almost comparable to that of the Nine Swords Venerable before he burned his divine power.

The Crimson Rainbow King has already burned his immortal divine power and decided to fight to the death!

"King of Slaughter, prepare to die!" King Crimson Rainbow snorted coldly and instantly charged towards the Flame God Clan clone blocking his way.

With his unparalleled strength as a king, and the burning of immortal divine power, how powerful would his strength be?

In his view, even if the God-Slaying King also burned his immortal divine power to resist, it would be enough to annihilate a large amount of the opponent's immortal divine power!

If the opponent doesn't have time to burn their immortal divine power, this attack could directly annihilate more than half of their immortal divine power!

"not good!"

Upon seeing the Crimson Rainbow King burn with immortal divine power, Yang Wu's pupils suddenly contracted.

When an invincible king-level expert burns his immortal divine power, how astonishing is that power?

After burning his immortal divine power, Crimson Rainbow King's movements became faster, and he had no time to dodge.

"Is the original core about to be exposed?" Yang Wu thought helplessly.

He wasn't too worried about his own safety.

After all, even if a powerful, invincible king were to unleash a thunderous strike fueled by the burning of immortal divine power, it would be utterly impossible to harm the original core that had fused with the Star Pearl.

Afterwards, Yang Wu could calmly invite other powerful individuals to come and help.

However, even the more defensively powerful avatar of the Flame God Clan was unable to withstand the furious attack from the Crimson Rainbow King!

"Boom!"

The Crimson Rainbow King was incredibly arrogant. With a fierce slash of his long sword, it instantly transformed into a sky full of dazzling sword light, a beauty that was breathtaking.

Countless blades of light swept across the sky, and powerful, violent energy swept out in all directions, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing, directly slashing towards the head of the Yan God Clan's avatar.

This is a fatal blow!

Just as the Crimson Rainbow King was burning his immortal divine power to unleash his strongest technique, the Flame God Clan clone also began another attempt to break through.
