Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 72 Transcendence

Shortly after Yang Wu entered the Trial Tower, a bald "monk" in white robes appeared in front of the tower. He was none other than the world's second strongest, the master of the Thunder Martial Arts Hall, Thor.

"Brother Hong, you just said someone has comprehended a domain?" Thor shouted at Hong as soon as he appeared, "Really? Who is it?"

"One of the war gods under my command at the Extreme Martial Arts Academy!" Hong said calmly.

"Apprentice level?" Thor's eyes widened. "That's impossible!"

Both Hong and Thor have received many inheritances from the universe, so Thor knows very well what a domain means.

If someone comprehends a domain at the planetary level, like Hong, then they can be considered invincible at the planetary level. Even in the vast universe, such a person would definitely be considered a genius.

To comprehend a domain at the apprentice level? Are you kidding me?

Hong smiled and slowly said, "You remember Yang Wu, the one who defeated 'Drinking Demon Blade' in the wilderness a few months ago, right?"

"I still remember!" Thor nodded and said, "I even sent a planetary-level expert there back then, but I didn't expect that you, Brother Hong, would beat me to it in the end."

"Wait a minute, Brother Hong." Thor suddenly realized something and looked at the man in black, Hong, with a shocked expression: "Why did you suddenly bring up this God of War? The person you mentioned who comprehended the domain, could it be him?"

"It is indeed Yang Wu!" Hong nodded and said.

"That's impossible!"

Thor's voice suddenly grew much louder: "How could an apprentice possibly comprehend a domain?"

"Besides, I followed his progress when he was attempting the Trial Tower. He only made it to the fourth level, which is a decent result, but he's still a long way from reaching the Domain Realm!"

"I find it unbelievable too! That's why I brought him to challenge this Trial Tower!"

Hong calmly said, "Let's see how far he can go!"

Although Hong had sensed Yang Wu's domain before, Yang Wu's domain could not be released externally, so Hong was not entirely sure. That's why he brought Yang Wu to challenge the Trial Tower.

Meanwhile, Yang Wu had already begun his trials in the Trial Tower.

Yang Wu's original Trial Tower level was 4.3, so when Yang Wu appeared, he was on the fourth floor of the Trial Tower.

In the boundless grasslands.

"Yang Wu." An electronic voice echoed across the grassland: "You have completed the fourth stage A trial. The next step is the B trial. The objective is to kill the 100 high-level beast general-level savage bulls that are besieging you within 30 minutes."

One minute later, a mighty herd of 100 wild bulls appeared on the grassland.

In fact, the assessment on the fourth floor of the Trial Tower is similar to that on the first floor, except that the strength of the monsters has been upgraded from novice beast generals to advanced beast generals.

Previously, Yang Wu had been trampled to death by these 100 high-level beast general-level wild bulls.

But now, Yang Wu's level of skill and power are several times higher than before, so he easily completed the fourth level of the test.

On the fifth floor of the Trial Tower, the monster reverted to the same armored scorpion as on the second floor. Although it was much more difficult to deal with, it still posed no challenge to Yang Wu.

45 minutes later, Yang Wu successfully appeared on the sixth floor of the Trial Tower.

At this moment, Yang Wu's Trial Tower level, displayed on the stone pillar outside, also changed to 6.0.

"He actually made it to the sixth level!" Thor exclaimed in disbelief.

It should be noted that before Yang Wu, only Hong had ever reached the sixth level in the entire world.

Thor is quite powerful, but he was helpless against the 200 armored scorpions in the fifth level, C stage of the Trial Tower.

Although he could easily kill one armored scorpion after another, his skill level was still a bit too low when facing a swarm of scorpions.

"It seems Yang Wu has truly grasped the domain!" Hong exclaimed from the side.

Thor was already on the verge of comprehending the domain, but he was still stuck on the fifth level. If Yang Wu hadn't comprehended the domain, he would never have been able to break through to the sixth level.

"Brother Hong!"

Thor accepted Yang Wu's comprehension of the Dao Domain quite quickly, and couldn't help but tease him, "I think Yang Wu will pass the fifth level faster than you. Aren't you afraid his level will surpass yours?"

"What am I afraid of?" Hong said calmly. "The more powerful people there are on Earth, the less pressure we will feel. This Yang Wu is only in his early twenties and he has already comprehended a domain. His talent is probably even greater than ours. We need to find a way to help him!"

Thor nodded seriously beside him.

The conversation between Hong and Thor did not affect Yang Wu in the Trial Tower, who continued to climb upwards.

On the sixth floor of the Trial Tower, the monster that appeared was a high-level beast general-level flying monster, the Golden Vulture, which was much more terrifying than any beast-type monster.

Eight minutes later, Yang Wu passed the sixth level, stage A, and his Trial Tower level reached 6.3.

22 minutes later, Yang Wu passed the sixth level B stage, and his Trial Tower level reached 6.6.

……

Outside the Trial Tower.

"Brother Hong, this kid's really caught up with you!" Thor said with a smile. "Do you think he can get through Phase C?"

"I don't know either!" Hong said calmly, "In Phase C, ten low-level lord-class golden vultures will appear. Once they grab you and lift you into the air, you'll have nowhere to gain leverage and will surely die when facing the monster horde!"

……

Inside the trial space.

Led by ten lord-level leaders, countless golden vultures swooped down from mid-air toward Yang Wu.

Yang Wu brandished his Broken Army Spear repeatedly, its mournful cries echoing through the sky, causing golden vultures to fall one after another.

"Gah~~" A piercing scream rang out.

A lord-level golden vulture seized the opportunity and its sharp claws reached directly for Yang Wu's back.

boom!

As if he could see what was behind him, Yang Wu swung his spear backward sharply, piercing Jin Wujiu's head.

43 minutes later, the sixth floor was completely cleared, and Yang Wu's Trial Tower level became 7.0.

……

In front of the Trial Tower gate.

Thor stopped talking, staring wide-eyed at the black stone pillar as if he wanted to devour it.

Although he had joked with Hong before that Yang Wu's Trial Tower level could surpass Hong's, he never thought it would actually be like that.

In Thor's eyes, Hong's record was already the pinnacle of planetary-level records.

Unexpectedly, this record was broken by a mere apprentice-level martial artist.

"Brother Hong," Thor asked after his initial shock, "How did you fail in the Trial Tower back then?"

Upon hearing Thor's question, Hong began to recall his battle in the trial space: "The sixth level, C stage, the lord-level golden vultures were stronger than my burst of power, and they were all flying in mid-air. Although my cultivation level was extremely high, it was still difficult for me to hit their vital points. If I hit ordinary body parts, my power was insufficient to cause any effective damage."

"A prolonged defense will inevitably lead to defeat. If we drag this out too long, the golden vulture will eventually find a weakness, snatch us up into the air, and we will fail!"

In fact, when faced with an attack from a pack of beasts, the best option is to use your domain.

In reality, if Hong were to unleash his domain, ordinary lord-level monsters wouldn't even be able to struggle.

Unfortunately, everyone in the trial space only possesses the physical attributes of a beginner-level warrior, making it impossible to unleash their domain. Given Hong's relatively low power level, being trapped on the sixth level is understandable.

Yang Wu, however, was different. His power reached an astonishing 15 times. Even with only the physical qualities of a beginner general, he could unleash the power of a mid-level war god. Naturally, he could kill the Golden Vulture, who was at the beginner lord level, with a single blow.

"Brother Hong!" Thor analyzed, "Yang Wu was able to pass the sixth level smoothly, so his physical exertion is probably very high, maybe even more than ten times!"

Hong nodded.

With their exceptional insight, the two of them could naturally guess why Yang Wu had cleared the sixth level.

"Yang Wu is very talented. We should help him so that he can grow up as soon as possible!" Hong said calmly, but his voice was very firm.

"Yes, who knows, our Earth might be discovered by cosmic forces someday!" Thor exclaimed.

Ultimately, Yang Wu stopped at stage C of the seventh floor, with a Trial Tower level of 7.6.
