Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 391 Eyes of Time

"The Eyes of Time!"

After experiencing the many messages about the strongest talent technique bestowed upon him, Yang Wu was quite happy.

Although the "Gaze of Time" is only a support-type talent technique, it has no real power.

However, for Yang Wu, this is undoubtedly the most suitable talent technique for him at this stage, surpassing many other powerful talent techniques with endless might.

"Watch historical footage?"

"Break free from constraints and achieve immortality—this is where it begins!" Yang Wu smiled slightly.

For Yang Wu now, the most important thing is to break free from constraints and achieve immortality.

In fact, the reason why the Yan God Clan's clone went to the outer battlefield was to speed up this process.

But the moment Yang Wu obtained the secret technique of talent, he already knew a message in his heart.

That is, no matter how powerful the innate secret technique is, it cannot be used to break the shackles of one's own original core.

Since the strongest innate secret technique also comes from the bestowal of the original will of the primordial universe, it naturally cannot be used to break the shackles strengthened by the laws governing the operation of the primordial universe.

Moreover, in the original work, Luo Feng also received the strongest talent secret technique at the World Lord stage. If he could use it to break through to Immortality, he would have done so long ago!

To break free from constraints and achieve immortality, one relies on comprehending the laws, mastering amplification techniques, and acquiring secret arts and techniques...

Generally speaking, for an ordinary life form to break through to immortality, it only needs to fully comprehend one lower-level law, which is enough to break the shackles of the original core.

The more powerful a being at the realm lord level becomes, the more difficult it becomes to break through the shackles and achieve immortality.

For example, the cosmic behemoth, the Zerg queen, and even many other unique life forms...

Without a doubt, even for an extremely extraordinary life form, breaking free from constraints and achieving immortality is not as difficult as it was for Yang Wu.

After all, he fused with the Star Bead at the cosmic level, which can be considered as having an incredibly powerful clone talent with the help of external forces.

Fortunately, the only thing to be thankful for is that this time, after achieving perfect genes and undergoing another metamorphosis, the difficulty of breaking through the shackles did not increase much; it simply made the protocore a little more perfect.

As for the strongest innate secret technique, it was a gift from the primordial universe. Yang Wu could not comprehend even a fraction of its mysteries. It was like a heavenly book. How could he possibly break through the shackles and achieve immortality with it?

Yang Wu initially chose to send the Yan God Clan's avatar to the Yan Sacrifice Continent to compete for the supreme treasure, so that he could create the third ultimate secret technique more quickly to break the shackles of the original core.

"Generally speaking, even if one is granted the strongest innate secret technique, a large amount of energy is required to successfully cast it!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

"Just like the strongest talent technique 'I am the Universe' that Luo Feng was once bestowed upon in the original work, even after becoming an immortal god, he still needs an immortal divine body of more than 90,000 kilometers to cast it, and it can only be maintained for nine seconds, because he has not grasped the mystery of it at all."

"But this 'Eyes of Time' is completely different!"

"Even with my current divine body at the World Lord level, it's enough to keep the Eye of Time running for a while!"

In fact, the amount of energy required to cast the innate secret technique "Eye of Time" can vary greatly, depending entirely on the strength of the target.

After all, the energy required to observe the life of an apprentice-level martial artist is naturally different from that required to observe the life of an immortal god.

Therefore, even a mere avatar of the Flame God Clan at the Realm Lord level is sufficient to unleash this most powerful innate secret technique.

And this is the most important thing for Yang Wu.

Firstly, when he uses the "Eye of Time," he can focus on the endless mysteries contained within it, and use this as a reference to create his own ultimate secret technique more quickly.

Secondly, this innate secret technique also allows Yang Wu to understand the origin and creation process of some secret techniques created by powerful individuals, which is very helpful for him to study secret techniques.

After all, although creating the ultimate secret technique is extremely difficult, there have been many ultimate secret techniques in the universe throughout the endless ages.

As long as he can learn and verify it through the "Gaze of Time," the speed at which he comprehends his self-created secret techniques will naturally increase greatly.

"If I hadn't obtained this 'Eye of Time,' I might not have been able to create the ultimate secret technique even after hundreds of millions of years in the simulation experience."

"But now, there is genuine hope of breaking through the shackles of the original core in a short period of time!"

The most powerful innate secret technique—how many people in this vast universe can possess it?

Even most universe masters would be unable to create a secret technique of this level!

With the assistance and reference of this most powerful talent technique, and with a commanding perspective, Yang Wu's research into the third ultimate technique was naturally much faster.

"Now that all the external conditions are in place, it's time to continue cultivating with a focused mind!"

"Moreover, with the 'Eye of Time,' I can continue to study the Chaos Stele in Chaos City. Perhaps I can discover some of the mysteries contained within it!" Yang Wu secretly planned.

Although most Chaos Steles are used to assist geniuses and strong individuals in comprehending the fundamental laws, some Chaos Steles are primarily used for creating their own secret techniques.

For example, the number one ranked Giant Axe Chaos Stele, or the Heart Mark Chaos Stele, the Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele, and so on...

Although these Chaos Steles are not the Nine Universe Chaos Steles that Yang Wu comprehended, they should not have been allowed to be comprehended by Yang Wu.

Given his current talent and comprehension, coupled with the enormous resources at his disposal, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to apply for more opportunities to study other Chaos Steles.

"I imagine that using the 'Eye of Time' to analyze these Chaos Steles will yield some results," Yang Wu thought to himself.

With this in mind, Yang Wu immediately had his Yan God Clan clone transform its body and set off for the Initial Universe.

……

Beyond the realm, on the continent of Yanji.

The void was silent. Many powerful figures who had reached the King level watched the departing figure of the Yan God Clan's avatar, their faces filled with deep confusion.

You should know that after the death of the Crimson Rainbow King, they all lost their confidence in competing for the supreme treasure.

After all, the power displayed by the Yan God Clan's clone was simply too great, so great that even an invincible king-level expert had no confidence to continue facing it.

Some of them were confident that they were stronger than the Crimson Rainbow King, but the God-Slaying King had not even burned his immortal divine power yet!

If they angered the God of Slaughter, each of them would be in danger.

Therefore, at this moment, many powerful figures who had been granted the title of King were wondering whether the higher-ups of the four top clans would expel the God-Slaying King from the outer battlefield.

After all, the strength of the God-Slaying King is no less than that of the Universe Venerable, and may even be a notch above it, so he should not continue to appear on the battlefield outside the domain.

But what they didn't expect was...

Before even the super beings from the four peak clans could make a move, the God of Slaughter had already left the Yanji Continent!

"Gone?"

"The God-Slaying King actually left? Does that mean he's not going to fight for the supreme treasure?"

"Haha, perhaps that God-Slaying King also suffered considerable damage to his divine body, which is why he left so easily!"

"No, that God-Slaying King's divine body has swelled dramatically, yet his aura hasn't weakened at all. He might have obtained some heaven-defying opportunity. We'd better report this to the clan immediately!"

After the Yan God Clan's avatar left, countless King-level Immortals began to discuss the matter via telepathy.

After all, for them, it was indeed unbelievable that an invincible king-level expert was killed by another immortal god.

……

Outside the Seventh Domain Battlefield, in the boundless void, four figures were scattered in four different directions.

They were all emanating an incredibly powerful aura, clearly indicating that they were all extremely powerful beings in the universe, yet they had appeared on the battlefield outside the domain.

These four figures were none other than four cosmic overlords from the four most powerful races, tasked with maintaining order during this treasure hunt.

Of course, given its status as a cosmic overlord, it wouldn't usually make a move.

However, what appeared on the Yanji Continent this time was a high-level treasure, which even the overlords of the universe would covet.

Although there are rules set by the four top races on the extraterrestrial battlefield, there may still be some other cosmic overlords who will take the risk and try to seize this treasure.

After all, besides the alliance of the four top races, there are several other top forces in the universe.

If some powerful cosmic overlords were to actually enter the Yanji Continent through divine kingdom teleportation, the four top races would naturally have to send out their own powerful members to stop them.

Just as the Yan God Clan clone withstood the full force of the Thorn King and others' attacks.

In one of the majestic palaces, shrouded in seemingly endless flames, a colossal, jet-black figure of a terrifying golden beast, its entire body wreathed in strange flames, spoke in a deep voice: "Lord Black Smoke, that God-Slaying King must be on your human side, right?"

"This person's strength is already in no way inferior to that of a Universe Venerable. What are your human camp's intentions in sending him into the extraterrestrial battlefield?"

Upon hearing this, the other three cosmic overlords displayed different expressions.

Among them, the mechanical race's cosmic overlord adopted a spectator's stance, while the insectoid race's cosmic overlord remarked, "Haha, Black Smoke Venerable, didn't your human faction sever ties with the Flame God Clan? I never expected you to actually allow a member of the Flame God Clan to join your side. Truly 'magnanimous'! Hahaha..."

Meanwhile, the Black Smoke Venerable, who came from the human camp, looked helpless.

In truth, he was also extremely puzzled about the origin of the God-Slaying King, and even felt that with his strength, he should not have appeared on the battlefield outside the domain to compete for the supreme treasure.

However, before he came to the battlefield outside the domain, his teacher, the Lord of Dragons, had already reminded him to pay more attention to the God-Slaying King.

With his teacher's instructions, Venerable Black Smoke naturally paid no attention to the others.

"Heh! It's true that the God-Slaying King came from our human camp, but he was already active on the extraterritorial battlefield before the supreme treasure was even created!"

The Black Smoke Venerable sneered, "Speaking of which, if it weren't for that God-Slaying King, even the Thorn King probably wouldn't have been able to trigger the supreme treasure left behind by the Flame Sacrifice Clan!"

"As for the fact that the God-Slaying King is a powerful member of the Flame God Clan, couldn't it be that he has abandoned darkness and embraced the light?"

Despite the Black Smoke Venerable's mocking remarks, the two cosmic overlords of the Zerg and Demon races did not show much dissatisfaction.

Firstly, the matter of the God of Slaughter is, after all, a minor matter.

Moreover, there are differences in strength even among the cosmic overlords. The Black Smoke Venerable, as an extremely ancient cosmic overlord of the human race, is currently the most powerful of the four.

But at this moment, the battle on the Yanji Continent took another turn.

The Fiery God Clan clone unleashed astonishing power, killing another invincible king-level expert, the Crimson Rainbow King.

Then, the divine body expanded rapidly at an alarming speed, reaching a speed of over 90,000 kilometers in an instant.

Faced with this unbelievable scene, the four cosmic overlords were all stunned.

It wasn't until the Yan God Clan's clone used the Divine Kingdom Teleportation to leave that the four of them realized what had happened.

"My God, could it be that the God-Slaying King has achieved perfect genes?" The mechanical race's cosmic overlord exclaimed, immediately followed by a series of metallic clanging sounds.

"I'm not sure either, but it's possible!" the Zerg cosmic overlord chimed in.

As for the demon race's cosmic overlord, he was even more direct, asking in a deep voice, "Black Smoke Venerable, what exactly is the identity of that God-Slaying King?"

Just as the Demon Race's cosmic overlord spoke, the Zerg and Mechanical Race's cosmic overlords also looked at the Black Smoke Venerable.

With their combined strength, the four of them could be considered pillars of their respective clans.

Therefore, the four people's knowledge was naturally far superior to that of the immortal kings on the Yanji Continent.

Each of them had some understanding of the strongest beings and the rulers of the universe within their race, and because of this, they understood even more what achieving perfect genes meant.

The Black Smoke Venerable's face remained expressionless, but inwardly he felt a bitter smile.

He never expected that the task the Lord of Dragons had arranged for him would be so troublesome!

However, having received the Dragon Lord's entrustment, he naturally wouldn't reveal the identity of the God of Slaughter.

Moreover, even he himself did not know the identity of the God of Slaughter, at most he could guess that the God of Slaughter had a deep connection with the human race.

"Hmph!" Venerable Black Smoke sneered, saying, "Since you want to know the identity of that God-Slaying King, go ahead and investigate!"

"If you want to fight, I'm ready to fight to the bitter end!"

Immediately, Venerable Black Smoke looked directly at the figure of the Flame God Clan clone that had disappeared, while secretly making his own guesses.

"My teacher instructed me to keep an eye on the safety of that God-Slaying King. Now that he's gone, it's not a big problem!"

"But just who is this God-Slaying King? Why is he attracting the teacher's attention?"

"Could it be a branch of the Yan God Clan that remained when they separated from our human race?"

"Moreover, if that God-Slaying King truly reached the level of perfect genes just now, this will cause a huge uproar in the universe!"

I'm a bit short on time today, but I'll try to update more tomorrow.
