Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 423 The Secret Realm

On the edge of the Azure Dragon Universe Kingdom, in a newly discovered cosmic secret realm.

On a majestic mountain range that stretches for millions of kilometers, a hazy light suddenly appeared.

Immediately, two figures emerged from the hazy light; they were Yang Wu and the Nine Swords Venerable, both fully armed.

"They've arrived!" Kandri and Azure Dragon Venerable, who had been waiting there, quickly stood up.

"Teacher, this secret realm is quite far from the core area of ​​our human race!" Yang Wu said to the Nine Swords Venerable.

The Azure Dragon Universe Kingdom was already located on the edge of the human race's territory, and this newly discovered cosmic secret realm was even more so on the edge of the Azure Dragon Universe Kingdom.

"Yes!" The Nine Swords Venerable nodded and said, "This secret realm was only recently discovered and is still an undeveloped cosmic secret realm. The environment inside is extremely harsh!"

"The three of us have been exploring this place for thousands of years, and there are still many areas we haven't discovered!"

Yang Wu nodded in agreement.

A newly discovered cosmic secret realm, no one knows what's inside, so it's only right to be cautious when exploring it.

Just then, the Azure Dragon Venerable suddenly said, "Divine Might Venerable, you and Nine Swords Venerable have not cultivated for long enough, and you may not know much about some things concerning our human race!"

"Hmm?" Yang Wu was slightly surprised, then asked in confusion, "What are you referring to, Azure Dragon Venerable?"

Upon hearing Yang Wu's question, the Azure Dragon Venerable was immediately delighted.

The reason he spoke up was to leave a good impression on Yang Wu, the future pillar of the human race, wasn't it?

Immediately, the Azure Dragon Venerable said, "Actually, this Azure Dragon Universe Kingdom was not previously located on the edge of our human race's territory!"

"Countless ages ago, probably trillions of years ago! At that time, the territory of our human race was not just 1008 cosmic kingdoms. Among the four dominant races at that time, our human race had the largest territory!"

"Unfortunately, our human race later encountered some changes, and then the despicable demon race produced a second strongest being in the universe. Their strength increased greatly, and they began to expand their territory, thus occupying a portion of our human race's original territory!"

"Now, beyond the territory of the Azure Dragon Universe Kingdom lies the Pri Star Region of the Demon Race!"

Hearing this, Yang Wu couldn't help but sigh.

The changes that the Azure Dragon Venerable mentioned in the human race must be related to the suppression of the primordial ancestor by the will of the universe's origin.

However, given the Azure Dragon Venerable's status, even if he had lived for countless years, he probably wouldn't know the details of this matter.

The suppression of the progenitor must have had a significant impact on the human population at that time.

Although the strongest of the giant axe-wielders took over, their strength was still no match for the original ancestor, which naturally limited the development of the human race.

"Yes!" Kander, on the other side, sighed in agreement. "I wonder when our human race will produce another supreme being in the universe to lead us back to glory!"

After saying that, Kandri deliberately glanced at Yang Wu beside him.

Without a doubt, Yang Wu, who has shone brightly all the way, may possess such potential.

"I've also heard a rumor, but I don't know if it's true or not!"

The Azure Dragon Venerable continued, "I've heard that in a much longer time, when our human race was just a powerful one, this region of the Azure Dragon Universe Kingdom was occupied by another powerful race!"

"And as our human race grew stronger, we drove that powerful race out of this territory!"

The Azure Dragon Venerable speculated, "Perhaps the secret realm we are exploring now is the core secret realm belonging to that powerful clan!"

It should be noted that although life forms born in cosmic secret realms are relatively weaker in terms of potential, these realms generally have various special environments, as well as special opportunities and treasures.

Therefore, some superpowers often occupy certain cosmic secret realms as their core areas, such as the original secret realms and glory realms within the human race, etc.

If this newly discovered secret realm belongs to a powerful clan, then it contains a great many more precious resources!

Upon hearing this, Yang Wu's heart stirred, and he immediately connected his consciousness to the virtual universe to search for detailed information about the region where the Azure Dragon Universe Kingdom was located.

With Yang Wu's current authority, there are no more than twenty people in the human race who can surpass him.

Therefore, in just a short while, Yang Wu learned about the powerful clan that lived here countless years ago.

The Dulong race was one of the most powerful races in the vast universe countless ages ago, occupying a portion of the core territory of the primordial universe.

Its leader is a powerful cosmic lord, the Lord of the Lone Dragon!

As the human race rose to power and expanded its territory, it was thwarted by the Dulong race. As a result, many super beings of the human race joined forces to kill the Dulong chieftain, and the Dulong race was destroyed. Its territory then became part of the human race's territory.

Seeing this, Yang Wu couldn't help but sigh at the cruelty of the universe.

But that's reality; in territorial disputes, there's no right or wrong. If the Dulong tribe had possessed more powerful individuals back then, it's likely that the human tribes would have been wiped out.

"It seems that this secret realm is very likely one of the secret realms left behind by the Dulong clan. I just wonder how many treasures are inside!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

However, Yang Wu didn't have too many expectations for Mei Baoyou, since he came here mainly to hone his skills.

"Alright!" the Nine Swords Venerable said with a smile, "Let's continue exploring the secret realm!"

"Even if this isn't one of the core secret realms of that powerful clan, it still contains quite a few treasures!"

"Moreover, this secret realm might have other entrances. Let's hurry and explore it. We don't want other powerful individuals to get there first!"

"Moreover, with Yang Wu joining us, our team is even stronger. We can now explore that special place even further!"

When the three Nine Swords Venerables explored the secret realm before, there were places they couldn't explore because they weren't strong enough.

The three of them work well together, but if another teammate is added rashly, the allocation of resources will have to be changed.

Therefore, the three of them, including the Nine Swords Venerable, originally planned to explore all the areas of the secret realm that they could explore on their own before inviting others.

But Yang Wu's appearance has indeed changed their minds.

After all, for Kander and Azure Dragon Venerable, building a good relationship with Yang Wu was obviously more important than those insignificant resources, so they naturally wouldn't care about the gains or losses of those resources.

"Alright, let's go!" Yang Wu and the other two nodded in agreement.

call out!

Yang Wu and his companions vanished instantly from the majestic mountain range, arriving at a mysterious place light-years away.

……

Time flies, and more than ten years have passed since Yang Wu and his teacher, the Nine Swords Venerable, explored the secret realm together.

Yang Wu has lived a very fulfilling life over the past ten years.

Among them, the Earthling himself had been exploring the secret realm with the Nine Swords Venerable and the other two. With their powerful strength, they had accumulated wealth worth more than ten treasure points over the past ten years.

Although Yang Wu didn't care about such wealth, it was a very happy thing for the three of them, including the Nine Swords Venerable.

After all, even for powerful cosmic beings, accumulating resources is not an easy task.

If one can acquire one Treasure Point in a year, then in less than ten thousand years, one could probably exchange it for an ordinary Supreme Treasure.

……

Deep underground.

Just as Yang Wu and his companions broke through a restriction, they suddenly encountered an enormous spatial vortex.

"This is..." Yang Wu looked at the huge spatial vortex in front of him. Because it was so huge, the spatial vortex was constantly absorbing endless cosmic energy to maintain its size.

"A wormhole?"

"Teleportation portal!"

At the same time, the three Nine Swords Venerables were also quite surprised.

Before this, after breaking through some powerful restrictions, they would often obtain some valuable treasures and resources.

Unexpectedly, after breaking the barrier, there were no treasures at all, only a cosmic passage leading to an unknown destination.

"I wonder where this spatial wormhole leads? And it's even protected by such a powerful restriction!" Nine Swords Venerable wondered.

"Indeed!" said the Azure Dragon Venerable beside him, "The restriction we just broke was the most powerful among all the restrictions we've broken before!"

"If it weren't for Venerable Shenwei's presence, the three of us probably wouldn't have been able to break through this restriction at all, but we never expected there to be nothing inside!"

"I just don't know where this spatial passage leads?" Yang Wu asked calmly.

"Let me go and investigate first!" Candri said with a smile.

His clone technique was cultivated through his own practice, unlike the clones created by ordinary talents. Although his strength would be somewhat weaker, it was very easy for him to create clones.

Therefore, using such clones to explore dangerous places is a very safe thing, and even if the clones are destroyed, it will not have a significant impact on Kander's strength.

"Kandri, it's all up to you now!" The Nine Swords Master nodded earnestly.

People are always very cautious about the unknown!

Yang Wu also looked at Kandri, quite curious about the other's method of creating clones.

After all, for a cosmic sovereign, condensing a divine power avatar is a simple matter, but to make a divine power avatar possess 60% of the strength of the original body, like Kandri, is not an easy task.

Immediately, with a thought, Kandri created a clone and stepped into the enormous spatial vortex.

A moment later, Kandri, who had his eyes tightly closed, suddenly opened them.

"Kandri, how is the situation?" Nine Swords Venerable and Azure Dragon Venerable asked hurriedly.

Even Yang Wu was curious about where the vortex led.

"The place I arrived at is safe; it seems to have been ransacked by a group of powerful individuals!" Kander said hurriedly. "However, I didn't detect any life in that space!"

"A place ravaged by powerful individuals?" Yang Wu's heart stirred. "Could this really be one of the core secret realms of the Dulong clan?"

It should be understood that unexplored cosmic secret realms are quite dangerous. Only after being swept away by powerful beings can they become suitable for ordinary life to live in, just like the original secret realms of the human race.

The place that Kandri went to was clearly such an area.

"Could you open the divine kingdom teleportation channel?" Venerable Azure Dragon asked earnestly from the side.

It's important to know that in some extremely special places, like the primordial universe, it's simply impossible to use divine kingdom teleportation!

In this way, if everyone gets trapped inside, it will be much more difficult for them to get out!

"Yes, it's fine!" Kander nodded and said, "That area is no different from other cosmic secret realms; everything is normal!"

"Could it be that we've stumbled upon a treasure left behind by that powerful clan from back then?"

Nine Swords Venerable was overjoyed and immediately asked, "Yang Wu, Azure Dragon, are you going?"

"I'm fine!" Yang Wu nodded and said.

With his current strength, as long as he doesn't encounter any powerful universe masters, he really doesn't need to be afraid of anyone.

"Fortune favors the bold!" Venerable Azure Dragon laughed as well, "Of course we'll go!"

Previously, the Azure Dragon Venerable's strength was almost equal to that of the Nine Swords Venerable. Although he did not become a disciple of the Lord of the Universe, after accumulating for many years, the treasures he possessed were even stronger than those of the Nine Swords Venerable.

But not long ago, the Nine Swords Venerable actually received a treasure armor from Yang Wu, the value of which instantly exceeded all his accumulation over countless years.

Now that he has such an opportunity, and is working with a powerful expert like Yang Wu, how could he possibly back down?

Therefore, after only a few seconds of conversation, Yang Wu and his companions stepped directly into the massive spatial vortex.

……

Just as Yang Wu and his companions entered the spatial vortex, within the demon race's territory, two powerful demon race members also broke through a restriction and discovered a remarkably similar spatial passage.

"Venerable Tianhua, is this a spatial wormhole?" a demon race cosmic venerable asked in confusion.

"Hmm!" A powerful figure with snow-white fur nodded slightly. This person was none other than Venerable Tianhua, one of the top cosmic overlords of the demon race and the second strongest member of the royal Tianlang clan.

Immediately, Venerable Tianhua said politely, "I wonder where this spatial wormhole leads? Venerable Songshi, I'll have to trouble you to go and explore it!"

Venerable Songshi was merely a high-level cosmic venerable of extremely ordinary strength among the demon race. Logically speaking, Venerable Tianhua, a top cosmic overlord, would not be able to team up with him.

Although Venerable Tianhua was powerful, he did not have a clone, while Venerable Songshi had the innate ability to create clones.

Therefore, Venerable Tianhua contributed some resources to help Venerable Songshi explore the secret realm.

"No problem!" Venerable Chow Lion said with a smile and a nod.

He was able to team up with Tianhua Venerable, a top-tier cosmic overlord, and all he needed to do was use his clone to explore, so naturally he wouldn't refuse the other party's request.

Before long, Venerable Lion Chow also learned about the situation on the other side of the spatial wormhole.

"Venerable Tianhua, everything is normal!"

"Alright!" Venerable Tianhua nodded, and then stepped into the spatial wormhole as well!
