Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 373 Ting Ni

"This is an extremely extraordinary and unique life form in the universe!" The Lord of the Dark Serpent pointed to the enormous thundercloud in the void and said, "Because I have never seen its kind in the universe, I have named it 'Thunder and Rainbow'!"

"This..." Yang Wu muttered to himself.

Special life forms are born special, extremely noble, and incredibly defy the heavens, therefore their numbers are extremely rare.

However, looking at the entire primordial universe, the same special life form usually has its own kind.

Some special life forms, even those unable to reproduce, still exist in the tens of thousands, or at least dozens or hundreds. Like the special life form 'Doukou'...

Even the World Tree, a unique and extraordinary life form, exists in several forms throughout the universe, and there are over a hundred Blood Sea clones that Yang Wu is about to conceive.

Only one of those most extraordinary and unique life forms could exist throughout the endless ages of the universe.

Like the eight innate beast gods, like the Black Sky Lord...

However, these most extraordinary and unique life forms possessed immense power from the moment of their birth. The eight innate beast gods were born as cosmic rulers, and the Black Sky Lord was also an immortal deity at birth.

As for special life forms at the realm lord level, they usually have their own kind.

The Lord of Dark Serpents has never heard of a second Ting Ni appearing in the endless ages. So even if Ting Ni is not unique in the universe, she is probably even more heaven-defying than the World Tree.

"Back when I was an immortal god, I still encountered great trouble after meeting this world lord-level 'Tingni'!"

The Lord of the Dark Serpent sighed, "In the end, it was only after burning immortal divine power that I was able to successfully kill the opponent!"

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Wu was even more surprised.

It should be noted that the Lord of the Dark Serpent is also of special life form origin, and its own life genes are already hundreds of times greater than those of ordinary life forms in the universe.

Furthermore, given that the Lord of the Dark Serpent was able to become a great cosmic ruler, his comprehension was naturally quite high. Therefore, after breaking through to immortality, he easily possessed the strength to become an invincible king.

The fact that the Realm Lord-level 'Ting Ni' could cause trouble for an invincible King-level expert suggests that she must at least possess the strength of the King-level limit!

Thinking of this, Yang Wu looked at the thundercloud and began to observe it carefully.

The thundercloud was hundreds of thousands of kilometers in diameter, containing endless thunder and lightning. The aura emanating from it alone could easily annihilate some ordinary immortal gods.

Although ordinary Immortal Army Lords are nothing in Yang Wu's eyes now, it's important to know that the 'Ting Ni' before him is merely a World Lord level being, and even then, just a corpse.

"After I killed this 'Tingni,' I also investigated it carefully! In my opinion, this Tingni is even more suitable for you to nurture your clone than the World Lord-level Huang Hai!"

The Lord of the Dark Serpent continued, "Firstly, this 'Thunder and Rainbow' has an amazing advantage in the two major laws of lightning and time, which can help you better comprehend the law of time."

"When it fought me, it displayed several extremely powerful innate secret techniques, one of which was 'Time Freeze.' The 'Time Freeze' it used was far more powerful than that of a King-level Immortal who had only mastered the ability of Time Freeze," the Dark Serpent Lord explained.

Abilities like 'time freeze' and 'teleportation' generally have little to do with the user's divine power; they depend entirely on the user's understanding of the laws.

Take teleportation for example. Once a powerful individual comprehends it, the maximum teleportation distance will be the same for both immortal kings and realm lords. Only after fully comprehending the laws of space will the maximum teleportation distance increase again.

The same applies to 'time standing still'.

Since Tingni's 'Time Freeze' technique was more powerful than that of a King-level Immortal, it must have been enhanced by her own innate abilities.

In other words, if Yang Wu nurtures Ting Ni into his own clone, even if his time law is not yet sufficient to perform time stop, he can still occasionally use his innate secret technique to perform this move.

"This is actually quite suitable for me!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

One of the reasons he wanted to create a clone of the World Tree was because the World Tree possessed a strong talent for spacetime.

Yang Wu himself already possesses considerable talent in the laws of space, so even if Ting Ni only has talent in the laws of time, it would be sufficient for her.

"Secondly..." the Lord of the Dark Serpent explained, "This Tingni is an energy life form, born without a soul. This prevents her from being killed or even enslaved by powerful beings through soul attacks, which is extremely important for you!"

"As for the size of your divine body, although Tingni is far inferior to Huang Hai, a World Lord-level being, her divine body still has a diameter of 800,000 kilometers. Once you enter the Immortal realm, your divine body will also be incredibly powerful, with an astonishing amount of stored divine power. If you also obtain a suitable supreme treasure armor, even a typical cosmic overlord would probably be unable to do anything to you!"

Even the largest cosmic creatures, like the life forms in the universe, are only a few thousand kilometers in size. Such a size is enough to make some powerful beings despair, let alone the Tingni with a diameter of 800,000 kilometers.

Even a cosmic master with ten thousand times the genetic potential would only have a body tens of thousands of kilometers tall. Only some naturally large plant or rock life forms would have a body diameter of hundreds of thousands or even millions of kilometers.

In terms of the size of its divine body alone, Tingni is already quite remarkable, after all, not every life form has a huge body like the World Tree or Lihuo Mountain.

"However..." The Lord of the Dark Serpent changed the subject, continuing, "The only pity is that Ting Ni's life gene level has reached 2,800 times that of ordinary life in the universe. Even among those special life forms with the talent to create clones, very few can successfully create one!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Wu's heart stirred slightly.

After he fused with the Star Pearl, he could give birth to life forms with a life gene level up to three thousand times higher. Wasn't Ting Ni prepared for him?

Moreover, if a clone of the World Tree were to be created, it would be extremely difficult for it to participate in battles, since the World Tree is too enormous. Even if it could participate in battles, its speed would be greatly affected.

However, if he were to nurture this 'Tingni' into his own clone, he could immediately gain a powerful combat force, even stronger than his original human form.

Moreover, given Tingni's physique, once she enters the Immortal realm, her sustained combat ability will even surpass that of the Flame God Clan's avatar.

"This Tingni was a powerful enemy I killed during my time as an immortal god. Its corpse holds some sentimental value for me, which is why I didn't bring it out before."

The Lord of the Dark Serpent continued, "However, I wasn't of much help to you during your visit to the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds. I'll give you Tingni's corpse. Although it's only at the World Lord level, it's still a powerful and unique life form. Even if you offer it to your clan, it should be enough to make up for your loss!"

"As for whether you choose to change your decision to create a clone, and whether you can successfully create this Tingni, that's up to you!"

After saying that, the Lord of Dark Serpent waved his hand, and the ball of thundercloud was directly collected into a dark golden world ring. Then, the Lord of Dark Serpent controlled the dark golden world ring to fly in front of Yang Wu.

"Thank you, Lord Dark Serpent!" Yang Wu reached out and accepted the World Ring, speaking respectfully.

For Yang Wu, he was already quite satisfied with obtaining the Blood Sea Avatar through the Dark Serpent Lord.

As for Tingni's appearance, the fact that he was able to obtain an avatar more suitable for him than the World Tree was a truly unexpected surprise.

"Alright, now that things are over, you may leave!" the Lord of the Dark Serpent said, waving his hand.

"Yes!" Yang Wu replied respectfully.

As soon as Yang Wu finished speaking, he was immediately teleported out of this space-time by the Lord of the Dark Serpent.

In this endless space and time, only the majestic figure of the Dark Serpent Lord remained.

He gazed into the distant void and muttered to himself, "The Silver Serpent Sword, I've finally obtained it!"

hum!

As the space rippled slightly, a longsword immediately appeared in the Dark Serpent Lord's hand.

With a gentle sweep, the Lord of the Dark Serpent unleashed a dazzling sword light that traversed the sky, carrying boundless power as it slashed in all directions across this space-time.

Under the sweeping force of the sword light, void spaces were constantly shattered, annihilated, reborn, and restored.

"The Two-Faced Ancestral God really didn't lie to me!" The Lord of the Dark Serpent thought to himself as he felt the power of the sword light. "Using this Silver Serpent Sword, my strength has increased by nearly 30%. It wasn't in vain that I spent so many treasures to obtain this Silver Serpent Sword!"

"Hahaha, Lord of the Shadows, I'll definitely give you a surprise next time we meet!"

Then, the Lord of Dark Serpents' gaze pierced through layers of space and landed directly on the main hall of the Dark Serpent Temple.

"Next, we'll see whether the Divine King grows stronger through the assassinations of the alien races, or perishes in the river of time!"

"However, if he can really become the Lord of the Universe, it would be a good thing for me!" the Lord of the Dark Serpent thought to himself.

After all, given their encounter today, he and that Divine Might King have developed quite a bit of friendship.

Although it's not very useful now, once the Divine King truly becomes the ruler of the universe, he will have a decent friend.

……

After obtaining the two clones, 'Nine Nether Blood Sea' and 'Thunder and Rainbow', Yang Wu appeared directly in the main hall of the Dark Python Temple.

Meanwhile, Venerable Jiufeng, who was responsible for protecting him within the Ancestral God Sect, was still waiting here.

Afterwards, under the protection of Venerable Jiufeng, Yang Wu returned directly to his palace on Zijing Island.

After Venerable Jiufeng appeared in Yang Wu's palace, the alien universe venerables who had not yet seen Yang Wu clearly also noticed this.

They cursed Yang Wu for his cowardice and shamelessness. Under the protection of a cosmic overlord, none of them dared to show their faces, while secretly admiring Yang Wu's caution.

However, all of this is no longer relevant to Yang Wu.

After communicating with Venerable Jiufeng, Yang Wu directly used the auxiliary life form to cast the Divine Kingdom Teleportation in his palace.

hum...

A hazy golden light appeared.

Yang Wu, carrying the many treasures he had acquired, stepped directly inside and then disappeared from his palace.

……

Using the divine kingdom that aids life as a transit point, Yang Wu teleported himself directly back to his manor in the Primal Secret Realm.

At the same time, the avatar of the Flame God Clan also used the Divine Kingdom Teleportation technique on the outer battlefield, returning to the Primal Secret Realm as well.

After all, the original core was carried by the Fiery God Clan's clone, and the clone needed the original core to be born.

……

A pristine, secluded place, Yang Wu's manor, a quiet room.

Yang Wu sat cross-legged, while the Yan Shen Clan clone carried Ting Ni's corpse and the seawater of the World Lord level Imperial Sea into his inner world.

Pronucleus, the inner world.

"Which of the two clones should be conceived first?" Yang Wu pondered to himself.

"The Blood Sea Avatar is a flesh-and-blood life form, so its gestation period should be quite long. Let's nurture the energy-type life form 'Tingni' first!"

With that in mind, Yang Wu directly extracted several bolts of lightning from the thundercloud that was 800,000 kilometers in diameter.

"It should be able to successfully conceive, right?" Yang Wu looked expectantly at the lightning in his hand.

The life gene level of this 'Tingni' is close to the limit that the Star Pearl can nurture, and in addition, it belongs to the energy type of life, so Yang Wu is not entirely confident.

Whoosh!

Under the control of the world's power, the bolts of lightning shot straight into the sky, flying directly into the distant high sky.

The whole world was silent.

A moment later...

The lightning finally flew to the central core of the inner world.

"Talent clone, be born!" Yang Wu's will controls the entire world.

Rumble...

As the clone technique was activated, the entire inner world trembled instantly, and endless world power surged wildly towards the several bolts of lightning in the center.

"call……"

Those bolts of lightning vanished like mist, leaving only the most basic life genes enveloped by the power of the boundless world.

A moment later, only a dazzling, enormous sphere remained in place.

Around this enormous sphere, incredibly intricate crimson runes were revealed, far more exquisite than any runes Yang Wu had ever seen.

"Success!" Feeling the beginning of the creation of his clone, Yang Wu was quite happy.

As the conception began, Yang Wu's consciousness also sensed some messages emanating from the world within his body.

"It can be successfully conceived in fifty years?" Yang Wu was slightly taken aback upon receiving the message from the gestation space.

It's important to know that the time it takes for a clone to develop is related to the user's own strength, as well as the strength and genes of the clone being developed.

The stronger one's own strength, the faster one's clones can be created; however, the stronger the clones created and the higher their gene multiplication rate, the slower their creation speed.

Even the original avatar of the Flame God Clan took twenty years to develop.

But now, Tingni, whose life genes have reached 2800 times, only needs fifty years?

This timeframe is far too short compared to Tingni's powerful life genes!

"Could it be because Tingni is an energy-type life form?" Yang Wu wondered to himself.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore!"

Yang Wu muttered to himself, "With the Time Palace around, fifty years will pass in the blink of an eye!"

"Once the clone successfully develops, everything will be clear!"

With that in mind, Yang Wu directly teleported his Yan God Clan clone into the ever-operating Time Palace through the Divine Kingdom.

As for Yang Wu himself, he stayed in the Primal Secret Realm, cultivating while waiting for his clone to be successfully formed.

The innate secret technique hasn't been finalized yet, but after reading everyone's ideas, it's starting to take shape.

One is to absorb lightning to restore one's divine body;

Time stands still;

A burst of speed or a burst of attack power; feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments.

The Time-Space Source Cicada is pretty good, but its skills are too overpowered, and it sounds like a flesh-and-blood creature.

Also, the previous issue of the Dark Serpent Lord's soul annihilating Tingni was a bug. It has been changed to destroy the original core.
