Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 499 Sixth-Order Secret Technique

Transforming into lightning is the strongest life-saving move possessed by Tingni's clone. Once unleashed, it can greatly increase her defensive capabilities and also quickly absorb any lightning-attribute energy in the universe to restore her body.

The Soul-Destroying Divine Lightning is a type of lightning energy that is extremely suitable for Tingni's clone to use the innate secret technique of "Transformation into Thunder". Yang Wu had deliberately gone to that dangerous place to collect a large amount of Soul-Destroying Divine Lightning during his journey to the Black Pattern Stone Pillar space.

hum!hum!hum!

With the activation of the innate secret technique 'Transformation into Thunder', endless Soul-Destroying Divine Thunder began to surge wildly into Ting Ni's clone.

Under the incredulous gazes of the Three-Eyed Demon God, the Lord of Five Chaos, and the Lord of Swallow Eagle, Tingni's clone was recovering at an incredibly terrifying speed.

62%, 75%, 90%...

In just a short while, the Soul-Destroying Divine Lightning in the surrounding void had almost completely dissipated, and Tingni's clone's divine body had recovered to over 90%.

"How is this possible?" The Five Lords of the Forbidden Hall stared wide-eyed, their expressions contorted in disbelief.

"This..." The three-eyed demon god, who was preparing to continue attacking Yang Wu, stared incredulously at the scene before him: "This Time Lord is merely a Universe Lord. Even if he possesses a top-tier Origin-level treasure, his speed of restoring his divine body couldn't possibly be this terrifying, could it?"

You should know that he has the heart of a true god to communicate with the origin of his own small universe, but in terms of the recovery speed of his divine body, he probably can't even compare to the current Time Lord.

"Excellent!" The Lord of Swallow Eagles, residing within Yang Wu's personal world ring, revealed a look of delight: "The Time Lord dares to fight against the strongest being in the universe; he truly possesses an astonishing trump card!"

"Indeed!" the Demon Slayer Palace Master exclaimed in astonishment. "With such a terrifying recovery speed, even the Three-Eyed Demon God would likely be powerless against him!"

At this moment, both the Lord of Yan Ying and the Lord of the Demon Slaughtering Hall showed a hint of relief on their faces. Although they had long been prepared for their clones to perish, having the chance to survive was of course the best thing.

"Lord of the Swallow Eagle!" The Demon Slaughtering Hall Master directly transmitted his voice to the Lord of the Swallow Eagle, "You invited me to explore the treasure with the Lord of Time, so I owe you a favor! If you ever need my help in the future, I will do my utmost!"

"Of course, of course!" Lord Yan Ying was even more delighted at this moment.

You should know that when he first invited the Demon Slayer Palace Master, the other party hesitated because of the potential conflict with the powerful members of the Divine Eye Clan. He only agreed after hearing that the Lord of Time was willing to go.

But now, the other party is grateful for the opportunity to befriend the Time Lord because of his powerful strength.

"I'm truly lucky to have been able to invite the Lord of Time!" Lord Yan Ying thought to himself. "Otherwise, it would have been far too difficult to build a closer relationship with him once he became the strongest being in the universe!"

……

After Yang Wu demonstrated his astonishing recovery ability, the battle situation changed instantly.

Previously, the Three-Eyed Demon God clearly held an absolute advantage, and killing Yang Wu was only a matter of time. But now...

After Yang Wu displayed such terrifying regenerative abilities, even the Three-Eyed Demon God himself was no longer confident in killing Yang Wu.

But how could the Three-Eyed Demon God, as the supreme strongest being in the universe, compromise with a universe master like Yang Wu?

"Three-Eyed Demon, how was my move?"

Yang Wu stood still, with remnants of Soul-Destroying Divine Lightning still flashing in the surrounding void.

"Impressive methods!" The Three-Eyed Demon God nodded and said, "Currently, in the cosmic sea, there are nearly ten thousand universe lords across the three great eras of reincarnation and the two holy land universes. Your strength is arguably the strongest among them!"

Although the Three-Eyed Demon God wanted to kill Yang Wu, he had to admit that Yang Wu's methods were extremely troublesome, and even he was not absolutely certain that he could defeat him.

"However..." The Three-Eyed Demon's tone shifted, and he sneered, "I'd like to see just how many times you can unleash such astonishing techniques?"

Before he finished speaking, the three-eyed demon god soared into the sky again, unleashing a barrage of fist shadows that hurtled towards Yang Wu.

In his view, Yang Wu must have paid a huge price to be able to use such incredible methods. As long as he kept attacking his opponent, he would definitely find a weakness in him.

For the strongest beings in the universe, a battle of equal strength that lasts for decades is not surprising at all.

"They really won't shed a tear until they see the coffin!"

Yang Wu sneered, then used his secret technique again to defend against the Three-Eyed Demon God's attack.

Although Yang Wu did not want to continue fighting the Three-Eyed Demon God, since the other party was willing to continue the fight, he naturally would not back down.

Moreover, if one could make a breakthrough in secret techniques during the battle with the Three-Eyed Demon God, or even create a sixth-level secret technique, wouldn't that be a good thing?

Thinking of this, Yang Wu stopped talking and instead began to feel the mystery of the secret techniques used by the Three-Eyed Demon God during their fight.

After all, once the Three-Eyed Demon God had used all his abilities, he could no longer pose a significant threat to Yang Wu. Instead, it was the best learning opportunity for him.

Yang Wu had already comprehended the ten most basic fundamental laws, and even the eight kinds of Beast God Paths. He also used these to create several sets of the strongest secret techniques for the fusion of the fifth-order Universe Lords, which pushed the limits of the Universe Lords. How powerful was his accumulation?

Furthermore, Yang Wu had already solved the Rhinoceros Emperor Formation to a level close to six thousand times in the simulation experience, and his comprehension had also been significantly improved.

Therefore, whether in reality or in simulated experiences, Yang Wu has already begun to create a sixth-level secret technique.

Although in the cosmic sea, the limit for the Lord of the Universe to create the strongest fusion secret technique of the fifth order top level by relying on the fusion law or the spacetime law is already, Yang Wu, who is familiar with the original work, knows that it is just an extremely difficult bottleneck to break through.

Like Luo Feng in the original work, didn't he still create sixth-order secret techniques, seventh-order secret techniques, and even eighth-order secret techniques at the stage of the Lord of the Universe?

The so-called limit, the so-called perfection, is nothing more than a huge bottleneck.

Thus, his constant battles with the Three-Eyed Demon God greatly impacted Yang Wu, causing his understanding of high-level secret techniques to soar.

While battling the Three-Eyed Demon God, the Earthling himself was already inside the Time Palace, using the thousand-fold time acceleration to constantly ponder its mysteries.

This Time Palace was recently commissioned by Yang Wu at considerable expense from the God of Craftsmen. It has even reached the level of a top-tier treasure, and it can be of some use even to the strongest beings in the universe.

Yang Wu originally intended for Ting Ni's clone, who was inside the Black Pattern Stone Pillar space, to use the Time Palace. This way, they could use the Time Palace in the small universe of the strongest giant axe user, achieving a double acceleration.

What Yang Wu hadn't expected was that using the Time Palace within the Black Pattern Stone Pillar space consumed an astonishing amount of resources. Even if he combined all the resources he possessed, it probably wouldn't last more than a thousand years. (For reference, when Luo Feng used the Black Pattern Stone Pillar and the Inheritance Space, the resources consumed were also terrifying; even the accumulated resources of the Broken East River over generations couldn't withstand such a rapid flow of time.)

Therefore, Yang Wu had no choice but to temporarily abandon this idea and send the Time Palace back to the original universe.

Now that Tingni's clone has left the space of the black-patterned stone pillar, this meticulously crafted Time Palace has finally found a place to be used again.

……

In Yang Wu's divine kingdom.

An ancient and vast palace silently floated above the endless Nether Sea, and inside, Yang Wu's true form as an Earthling, and his Nine Nether Avatar, were constantly absorbing various insights from his battle with the Three-Eyed Demon God.

Even the Yan God Clan avatar who disguised himself as the Lord of the Northern Prison and roamed the Primordial Star is now rapidly returning to the Divine Kingdom and beginning to calmly comprehend this rare insight.

Meanwhile, the battle between Yang Wu and the Three-Eyed Demon God continued unabated.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

In the shifting sands.

"Wu Hun, the Lord of Time has been fighting the Three-Eyed Demon for almost half a year now!"

Inside the Forbidden Hall, the Lord of the Pure Eyes was filled with shock.

If someone had told him this before, he would have taken it as a joke.

After all, the strongest being in the universe possesses a small universe as its most powerful energy source, and its divine power is virtually inexhaustible. How could it be that it couldn't defeat a universe master in half a year?

"Yes, half a year has already passed!" the Lord of the Five Chaos sighed as well.

By now, he had become completely numb to Yang Wu's astonishing strength.

"However, now that half a year has passed, the two True Lords of my Divine Eye Clan are about to arrive!"

The Lord of the Five Chaos said expectantly, "As long as the two True Lords arrive, together we can quickly kill that Lord of Time and seize his many treasures!"

The Lord of the Five Chaos still had enough confidence in the two strongest beings in the universe within his clan.

After all, the Divine Eye Clan has dispatched the Third True Lord and the Sixth True Lord this time. The Sixth True Lord alone is comparable in strength to the Three-Eyed Demon God, while the Third True Lord can be considered the second strongest in the Divine Eye Clan, with extremely powerful strength.

In particular, if the two Allahs were to join forces, they would be able to unleash an incredibly terrifying power.

Although the Lord of Time has amazing regenerative abilities, it takes him a while to recover his divine power each time. If he is not given a chance to recover his divine power, it would be enough to kill him!

Thinking of this, the Lord of the Five Chaos was also filled with excitement.

After all, discovering that Yang Wu was carrying a supreme treasure was a significant contribution to the Divine Eye Clan. If he successfully killed Yang Wu, he would surely receive a good reward.

On the other side, the Three-Eyed Demon God, who had been attacking Yang Wu for half a year, was now in a difficult situation.

After half a year of fighting, he was absolutely certain that with his strength, it was impossible for him to kill that clone of the Lord of Time.

However, his pride as the strongest being in the universe prevented him from compromising with a cosmic ruler.

"Six months have passed now; by then, the Lord of Time must have already relayed the message to that giant axe!"

"Once that giant axe appears, I'll cease my attack, and then pay a price to obtain that precious component from the Time Lord!"

The Three-Eyed Demon God thought to himself, "This way, I won't lose face!"

As for whether he could exchange for the Dark Night Nether Armor's components, the Three-Eyed Demon God wasn't worried at all.

After all, in his view, the strongest of the giant axe was only ordinary, and there were many universe lords among the human race in the entire primitive universe. Did they dare to contend with him, the strongest lone traveler who possessed the most powerful treasure?

As long as he brings out a supreme treasure and gives the human race a way out, obtaining the parts for the Dark Night Nether Armor should be quite easy.

Thinking of this, the Three-Eyed Demon God casually unleashed a barrage of fist shadows, blasting towards Yang Wu.

Just then, Yang Wu, who was enveloped by the countless fist shadows, did not continue to activate the Eight Treasures Exquisite Armor to use the secret technique for defense. Instead, he let out a low shout and then suddenly thrust out the inverted Blood Edge Spear in his hand.

The instant the upside-down Bloodthirsty Spear thrust out!

"Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!"...

Amidst the layers upon layers of countless fist shadows, countless dazzling spear lights appeared. As the inverted Blood Edge Spear thrust out, those countless spear lights exploded instantly, annihilating all the surrounding energy and matter.

The surrounding space and time were shattered, causing most of the countless fist shadows to dissipate. Even the remaining ones lost most of their power. The remaining attack power then struck Yang Wu, but only annihilated one-thousandth of his divine body.

Everything vanished.

Yang Wu, wielding the upside-down Blood-Stained Spear, was still blasted away by the barrage of fist shadows, but he was incredibly excited.

It worked!

After years of practice, he finally created a secret technique with six levels!

Although Yang Wu had come very close to taking this step through those simulations, he had not yet made a breakthrough.

However, under the immense pressure from the Three-Eyed Demon God, he finally created a secret technique with six levels.

"At that time, I used the Upside-Down Blood Spear to unleash 'Life and Death Unpredictability' to defend against the Three-Eyed Demon God's attack, losing five-thousandths of my divine body in the process!"

"Although I didn't completely block all of the Three-Eyed Demon God's attack power this time, I only lost one-thousandth of my divine body. This shows that this secret technique is much stronger than my simple activation of the Upside-Down Blood Spear to unleash the strongest secret technique of the Lord of the Universe!"

Yang Wu thought to himself, "The only pity is that the enhancement that the Upside-Down Blood Spear provides to this sixth-tier secret technique isn't as significant as it used to be; it's only comparable to some top-tier supreme treasure weapons!"

"But that's normal. After all, the secret runes on the Upside-Down Blood Spear only have three layers. Even if my cultivation level is higher, I can't possibly activate a fourth layer of secret runes that doesn't even exist!"

"However, that's enough. At least I won't be tormented by this three-eyed demon anymore!"

Yes!

In Yang Wu's eyes, although he was able to block the Three-Eyed Demon God's attacks, he was being constantly ravaged by the opponent.

After all, you have to do your best to defend against an attack that the other party launches casually, and you still can't stop it!

But things are different now!

Just like when Yang Wu killed Yan Di, at first he was able to crush Yan Di with the exquisite secret technique. However, after Yan Di broke through, even though he was still a level below in terms of secret technique, he was still able to barely withstand Yang Wu's secret technique.

However, Yang Wu created many powerful secret techniques for the fusion of fifth-order universe masters, which he could use in different ways, thus preventing Yan Di from continuously resisting.

While the three-eyed demon god before him was still more sophisticated in terms of secret techniques, it could no longer pose any threat to Yang Wu if it could not unleash new secret techniques.

"This secret technique was created by Tingni's clone during her battle with the Three-Eyed Demon God, so let's call it 'Thunderous Might'!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

"Now that my secret technique has reached the sixth level, I'm afraid I could break through to the level of the strongest being in the universe at any time!"

"However, only by breaking through through the path of divine power can one possess greater potential; it is not something that can be achieved easily!"

"Of course, with such achievements in secret techniques, comprehending the path to divine power should be much easier in the future!"

Yang Wu was already looking forward to the future. Perhaps he could really reach a life gene level of 100,000 times that of the Universe Master stage?

"How is that possible? How could he possibly block my attack?"

On the other side, the Three-Eyed Demon God was stunned when he saw Yang Wu unleash his power.

You must understand, this was not a casual attack he had just made at the beginning, but a profound seventh-order secret technique that had been fully revealed!

If the Lord of Time had continued to use that colorful light shield for a flawless defense, that would have been fine, but now the opponent had actually used a set of exquisite secret techniques to block his attack.

Although it is still somewhat inferior in terms of power, it has ultimately withstood the attack, and at least the gap is no longer significant.

But how is that possible?
