Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 468 Black-Patterned Stone Pillar

"call out!"

A streak of dark golden light flashed across the void.

"Hmm?" Yang Wu, who was flying at high speed, suddenly turned his head to look into the distance.

Although the space inside the black-patterned stone pillar was quite safe, Yang Wu, who had suffered a lot on the way, kept releasing the "Ruyi Aurora Mirror" to explore the surrounding situation.

"We actually ran into the Lord of Yan Ying!" A smile involuntarily appeared on Yang Wu's face.

In fact, as early as three hundred years ago, after learning that Yang Wu was about to arrive in the Black Pattern Stone Pillar space, the Lord of Yan Ying frequently contacted Yang Wu in the virtual universe to get closer to him.

The Lord of Swallow Eagles was able to venture into the inner domain of the Cosmic Ship, which shows that he possessed extraordinary strength. He was comparable to the Lord of Ice Peak and others, and even within the Hong Alliance, he would rank among the top. It was just that the treasures he possessed were somewhat inferior.

Over the past three hundred years, Yang Wu and the other party have developed some acquaintance.

"Lord of Time!" A voice entered Yang Wu's mind through the Aurora Domain.

The Lord of the Swallow Eagle is a strange bird with a blue body and some golden feathers on its head. Its wingspan is more than 100,000 kilometers, which is not much smaller than the size of Ting Ni's clone.

"Lord of the Swallow Eagle!" Yang Wu smiled and flew towards the other party.

"I detected an aurora field earlier and guessed it might be you, Lord of Time, so I rushed over here!"

The Lord of the Swallow Eagles spoke in the common language of humanity: "It's truly delightful to witness the Lord of Time in this cosmic sea!"

In the past few hundred years, although Yang Wu has been constantly on the move, there are many powerful people on the spaceship, and quite a few people have seen Yang Wu.

The battles Yang Wu experienced were all discovered and subsequently circulated throughout the cosmic sea.

It should be noted that Yang Wu initially gained fame in the Cosmic Sea because of his incredibly fast cultivation speed and his strength as a fifth-order Cosmic Lord.

While fifth-order universe masters are extremely rare in the primordial universe, there are still thousands of them in the cosmic sea.

After all, the powerful beings of the two holy universes, the first reincarnation era, and the second reincarnation era have all experienced an incredibly long period of time. Whether it is the secret techniques they created or the treasures they accumulated, they far surpass the powerful beings in the original universe.

Although many powerful figures in the Cosmic Sea were unwilling to provoke Yang Wu, they all hoped that he would suffer a great setback!

Although Yang Wu escaped unscathed from the Lord of Time, it might be because his fighting style was quite effective against his opponent.

However, as Yang Wu fought more and more in the Cosmic Sea, especially after his battle with one of the strongest beings in the universe from the first era of reincarnation, many powerful beings in the Cosmic Sea came to recognize Yang Wu's strength even more.

Therefore, the Lord of Yan Ying treated Yang Wu with unparalleled enthusiasm at this time.

Everyone knows that with Yang Wu's cultivation speed, after undergoing some trials, his strength should be able to continue to improve very quickly.

"I am quite happy to see the Lord of Yan Ying!" Yang Wu said with a smile.

Upon hearing Yang Wu's words, the Lord of Yan Ying smiled even more.

You should know that he had only come to this black-patterned stone pillar space to rest for a while. However, hundreds of years ago, when he was planning to leave here to continue his adventures in Zhouzhou, he suddenly learned that Yang Wu was about to arrive.

So, in order to meet Yang Wu, he decided to stay in the black-patterned stone pillar space to continue resting.

In the span of several hundred years, the powerful Lord Yan Ying would likely have acquired enough valuable resources by venturing into other areas of the spaceship.

Fortunately, I have now met Yang Wu and we get along quite well, so it's all been worth it.

"Lord of Time, there are a few things you should be aware of when you come to this black-patterned stone pillar space to temper your will..."

The Lord of the Swallow Eagle stood beside Yang Wu, and the two flew side by side as a streak of light, conversing with each other through divine power.

Of course, since Yang Wu had met the Lord of Yan Ying several times before in the Hongmeng City of the virtual universe, the other party knew the purpose of Yang Wu's visit and began to explain the situation to Yang Wu directly.

As expected of the Lord of the Swallow Eagle, a powerful figure who frequently ventured near the Black Pattern Stone Pillar area, he possessed a wealth of information, some of which was not even recorded by the human race.

However, in order to befriend Yang Wu, the Lord of Yan Ying spilled out everything he knew to Yang Wu, revealing almost everything he knew.

Yang Wu also learned a lot of things he had never known before from the Lord of Yan Ying.

There are sixteen black-patterned stone pillars in total. The 'Blood Orchid Ancestor,' one of the three strongest beings in the universe, resides on pillar number 9, while the 'Bai Chi Star Lord' is stationed on pillar number 2. As for the Rampaging Demon God, he prefers to disguise himself and wander aimlessly, without a fixed abode. His last appearance was on pillar number 7, where he killed a Universe Lord from the First Universe's Cycle Era.

"Lord of Time, with your strength, as long as you don't encounter the rampaging demon god, you should be quite safe in this area of ​​black-patterned stone pillars!"

Lord Yan Ying looked at Yang Wu and said enviously, "Moreover, you possess a supreme treasure of the highest level, a palace-type treasure. Even the most powerful demon god might not be able to do anything to you!"

Although the space within the Black Pattern Stone Pillar is quite safe, there are still some powerful individuals who could pose a threat to the Lord of Swallow Eagles.

For example, the Lord of the Pure Eyes within the Divine Eye Clan during the First Universe Reincarnation Era!

The Lord of the Pure Eyes is the direct disciple of the First True Lord of the Divine Eye Clan. He is especially skilled in various methods such as soul attacks and illusions, and possesses a supreme treasure of illusions called the "Purifying Mirror." He is renowned throughout the universe.

Even some universe lords who possess avatars would rather not encounter the Lord of the Pure Eye than some ordinary universe powerhouses, because if they do not have a soul-type treasure to protect their souls, they might be annihilated by the soul of the Lord of the Pure Eye!

Of course, Yang Wu's Tingni clone had no soul, yet it was completely unafraid of the Soul Attack of the Lord of the Pure Eye.

While exchanging words, Yang Wu and the Lord of Yan Ying had already arrived within the area covered by a black-patterned stone pillar.

"Ahead is the No. 2 Black Pattern Stone Pillar. Because of the presence of Lord Beichi Star, this place has become the place with the most powerful people in the entire Black Pattern Stone Pillar space."

With a flap of its wings, the Lord of the Swallow Eagle broke through the air at high speed and flew directly towards the No. 2 Heavenly Demon Pillar.

Yang Wu, who was flying alongside it, glanced at it.

A towering stone pillar stretched endlessly to the edge of the field of vision, piercing straight into the endless mist. Even the base of the black-patterned stone pillar penetrated into the endless mist below.

call!call!call!

A vast number of enormous rocks spun and flew around the black-veined stone pillar, like planets orbiting a star. And among the densely packed giant rocks, there were also some exquisitely carved black-spired buildings.

That is the secret chamber within the space of the black-patterned stone pillar!

As long as you possess the corresponding spatial token, you can enter those secret chambers.

During the flight, the Lord of the Swallow Eagles was constantly observing Yang Wu.

In his opinion, although Yang Wu's cultivation speed was incredibly fast, his cultivation period was far too short, so his willpower was probably not very strong.

The closer one gets to the No. 2 black-patterned stone pillar, the stronger the impact of its will becomes.

This is an impact entirely on the will; even special life forms without a soul will still be affected in the same way.

As the flight distance increased, the look of surprise on the face of the Lord of Swallow Eagles grew stronger.

"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!"

It was as if the roar of billions of troops fighting and howling kept entering Yang Wu and the other's minds. At this distance, even some of the strongest among the universe lords would need to do their best to resist that impact of will. Although Lord Yan Ying had not yet reached his limit, he was not far off.

But he noticed that Yang Wu's face was very calm, as if he did not feel any strain.

"The Lord of Time truly deserves to be called the strongest genius in the history of the primordial universe!" Lord Yan Ying couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "Even with such a short period of cultivation, his willpower is still so astonishing?"

"I've cultivated for countless years, and spent a great deal of time honing my skills in this black-patterned stone pillar space, yet I'm still no match for him?"

Of course, the Lord of Yan Ying did not know that Yang Wu had already possessed the will of a Universe Lord at the Venerable stage. Now that he had become a Universe Lord and had undergone a simulation lasting tens of millions of years, even if his will had not broken through, he had already reached the limit of a Universe Lord.

After a while.

"Lord of Time!" Lord Yan Ying finally couldn't help but say, "The closer we get, the stronger the impact of the will emanating from the black-patterned stone pillar becomes! I usually cultivate at around this distance; any further and I won't be able to withstand it!"

"Oh?"

Yang Wu looked up and saw that there weren't many powerful figures left in front of him.

As early as the introduction by the Lord of Yan Ying, Yang Wu had already learned that there were hundreds of Universe Lords in this No. 2 Black Pattern Stone Pillar area, but now there are only about twenty people left.

Therefore, it seems that the will of the Lord of Swallow Eagles is extremely powerful, even among the Lords of the Universe.

Moreover, the flow of time in this region has soared to more than a thousand times that of the original universe, which should have a significant effect on Yang Wu's ability to refresh the number of times he can accelerate simulations.

"Lord of the Swallow Eagle, as we approach, the flow of time is constantly changing."

Yang Wu asked with a smile, "I wonder what the fastest flow of time ahead can reach?"

"The closer we get to the core region, the more exaggerated the rate of time flow becomes!" said Lord Yan Ying. "Ahead, there are some other Universe Lords. The area where those seventeen Universe Lords reside is already considered the limit that we Universe Lords can reach. According to them, the rate of time flow there has reached 3000 times!"

"As for going further, one would need a will comparable to the strongest being in the universe. In this region of the No. 2 Black-Patterned Stone Pillar, only three Universe Lords can achieve this. The time flow in their respective regions is different, roughly five thousand to ten thousand times faster!"

"Of course, the most terrifying flow of time is in the region where Lord Bechi resides. Lord Bechi has honed his will to an extremely terrifying level. According to him, the flow of time there has reached a terrifying 130,000 times!"

……

"The Lord of the Swallow Eagle?"

"Beside him... a special life form of lightning? An aurora domain? That must be a Time Lord from the human race!"

Some of the universe lords around the black-patterned stone pillars also noticed that Yang Wu and Lord Yan Ying were flying inside.

The area where the two were located also secretly alarmed some universe masters!

After all, their views were very similar to those of the Lord of Yan Ying, all believing that Yang Wu, whose cultivation period was extremely short, was not good at willpower.

As Yang Wu and his companion ventured deeper, the universe lords grew increasingly astonished. They simply could not believe that a universe lord who had cultivated for such a short time could possess such an astonishing will.

After all, great strength does not necessarily equate to an amazing will. Some weaker universe lords can also possess an extremely powerful will.

Just like those three universe lords whose wills are comparable to the strongest in the universe, one of them only possesses the strength of a top-tier fourth-order being.

"Alright!" Yang Wu smiled at the Lord of Yan Ying, then smiled and said, "Lord of Yan Ying, since you're cultivating here, I won't disturb you any longer! I still need to travel a bit further. If you need to contact me, you can do so through the virtual universe!"

"Lord of Time, you are honing your will in this space of the Black Patterned Stone Pillar. If you need anything, you can come directly to me. I have been wandering around this area recently!" Lord Yan Ying hurriedly said.

"good!"

Yang Wu immediately transformed into a golden streak of light and continued flying closer to the black-patterned stone pillar.

……

"Hmm? Someone's coming. A lightning-based life form. Judging from its appearance, it seems to be a Time Lord from the primitive human race of the universe!"

"Indeed, I had previously discovered that the other party was communicating with the Lord of Yan Ying within the Hong Alliance, so he must be the Lord of Time!"

"What? The Lord of Time has actually come here?"

"He actually managed to fly this far... It seems the Time Lord's reputation in the cosmic sea is truly not to be underestimated!"

As they flew closer, more and more cosmic lords noticed Yang Wu.

"The flow of time is indeed accelerating rapidly, 1,500 times, 2,000 times, 2,500 times..."

As time flowed faster and faster, Yang Wu felt as if space and time were being distorted.

When the flow of time reached about three thousand times that of the outside world, Yang Wu finally stopped and then landed directly on a huge rock that was constantly flying.

There are more than a dozen masters of the universe around, and most of them are at this distance.

"Such a powerful sense of oppression!"

Standing atop the massive rock, Yang Wu gazed at the towering, black stone pillar ahead: "The mental pressure here is already quite unpleasant, but thankfully it hasn't affected my cultivation!"

"A time flow rate three thousand times faster is far superior to the Time Palace! Even when the Time Palace and the strongest being of the Giant Axe combined their miniature universes, it wasn't this terrifying!"

"Although the time interval between each simulation in the Time Simulator has become 72 years after I became the Lord of the Universe, I can accelerate time here at the Black-Veined Stone Pillar. In the original universe, I can conduct a simulation every two hundred years or so."

"Moreover, as willpower increases, the flow of time in the future will become even more terrifying! If I could be like Lord Bechi Star, I could simulate it once every ten years!"

"Next, it's a matter of honing our willpower while waiting for the simulation runs to refresh!"

Yang Wu thought to himself, "It won't be long before I become a true fifth-order universe master!"
