Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 133 Cultivation Trial and Enlightenment

The deep blue, sword-shaped spaceship sped across the vast continent at near-light speed. The detectors, purchased at a cost of 25 billion, were constantly on, allowing Zhou Yang to clearly see the various teams within a range of 10 billion kilometers.

Along the way, he not only witnessed many battles between teams of immortal gods, but also many massive melees involving cosmic armies with tens of thousands of members.

It must be said that the sight of tens of thousands of space troops fighting simultaneously is truly magnificent!

The entire starry sky was filled with countless cosmic warriors. One after another, law-based domains and world projections collided, and one after another, psychic weapons and force weapons clashed. The scene was even more exciting than the sci-fi blockbusters I had seen in my previous life!

"There are indeed many powerful individuals on the Nine Fiends Continent. We've encountered over a thousand Immortal Gods alone. I doubt we could gather that many Immortal powerhouses even if we combined them all from the Shattered Star Belt!"

Inside the core compartment, crafted from F-grade metal, Zhou Yang couldn't help but marvel.

"normal."

Babata's voice echoed in his mind, "This Nine Fiends Continent is known as the second most dangerous battlefield in the fourth extraterrestrial domain, and we are currently in fragment number 013 of the Nine Fiends Continent, which is extremely close to the top ten 'main continent' region. Naturally, there are many powerful individuals here!"

Compared to the 'Seventh Extraterrestrial Battlefield' that Luo Feng visited in the original work, the 'Fourth Extraterrestrial Battlefield' where Zhou Yang is located covers a larger area.

The Nine Fiends Continent alone is composed of tens of thousands of continental fragments.

However, these fragments vary in diameter, with the smallest being only about 0.5 light-years and the largest exceeding 5 light-years!

Moreover, the continental fragments numbered 1-10 are not only enormous in size, but also relatively close together, almost forming a single piece, and are therefore often collectively referred to as the "main continent" region.

The entire 'main continent' region spans nearly a hundred light-years; that is where the true peak powerhouses of the Nine Fiends Continent fight and battle!

However, Zhou Yang does not plan to go there for the time being.

"I am currently in a phase of rapid advancement after breaking through to the Realm Lord stage, and I haven't yet fully digested some of the opportunities and insights I've gained."

Zhou Yang pondered to himself, "Moreover, I cannot burn divine power, and I lack the means to deal with the 'immortal body' of a Marquis-level immortal."

He quickly made up his mind.

"Babata, let's not go to the main continent yet. Let's find a suitable base on this landmass 013 first!"

"clear!"

Babata responded quickly.

The ancient sword-shaped spaceship continued to fly over Continent 013.

Babata quickly selected a suitable location as a base.

"Zhou Yang, how is this place? This mountain range is extremely suitable for hiding and can also resist weakening attacks. Moreover, there are few alien powerhouses within a 10 billion kilometer radius, only 5 ordinary immortal squads."

It quickly reported to Zhou Yang.

"Hmm, not bad, this is it!"

Zhou Yang stowed the spaceship and quickly swooped down into the mountain range.

The cliffs of the mountain range are dotted with cave entrances, and inside these entrances are interconnected karst cave passages, making them ideal for hiding and concealing oneself.

Zhou Yang rushed into a cave entrance and continued forward along the passage inside, soon arriving at a relatively spacious underground cave.

"From today onwards, this will be my hideout!"

He looked at the cave with satisfaction, then raised his hand and stretched out, and the Immortal-grade Cloud Vine quickly appeared inside the cave.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~"

Thick, sturdy crystal vines rapidly expanded, completely blocking the cave's passages and forming an incredibly dreamlike "crystal wall" against the cave's inner walls.

The creeping vine is a plant known for its defense mechanisms and cellular activity.

After breaking through to the Immortal level, the defensive power of the 216 main vines reached an abnormal level. It is estimated that even a peak Immortal at the Marquis level would find it difficult to quickly break through the barrier of the Cloud-Piercing Vine without burning divine power!

With the dual protection of the Moyun vine and the detector, Zhou Yang's safety is naturally greatly guaranteed.

Next, he began to quietly examine himself and sort out the areas where he could most easily improve.

"My understanding of the laws of space and the laws of wood is almost at the level of the 17th level of the Bridge to Heaven, which is roughly equivalent to an ordinary King-level Immortal, and is barely enough."

"The second level of the 'Secret Scripture of Dao Derivation' requires deducing all the derivative methods of the 1008 basic combinations of the laws of space and wood. We've only completed less than one percent of it so far, and this will require more effort."

"Regarding arcane arts, in the four hundred years of Chaos City, I have already studied all 182 sets, totaling 1172 basic manuals, that Master Kandri taught me. However, I still don't have many ideas about creating my own arcane arts."

Zhou Yang pondered silently and soon discovered the crux of his problem.

Self-created secret technique!

He still has absolutely no clue how to create the most suitable secret method for himself!

Generally speaking, when one cultivates to the Realm Lord stage, one's understanding of the laws reaches an extremely profound level, and one's own path gradually takes shape.

At this point, it's time to start preparing to create your own secret techniques.

After all, everyone has different focuses in their cultivation and different fighting styles. No matter how powerful the secret techniques of the predecessors are, there will always be aspects that are not suitable for oneself, which will inevitably affect the performance of one's own strength.

Only by creating secret techniques based on one's own strengths can one truly unleash their full potential!

only--

"What are my special skills? And what is the most suitable secret technique for me?"

"Soul? Spatial perception? A clone? Or..."

His consciousness involuntarily drifted into the world within his body.

At this moment, the world inside his body had already expanded to a diameter of over 1 million kilometers!

Within the vast inner world, there are eight strange places in each of the eight directions of the central continent, suppressing a certain primordial power within the inner world.

On an island in the inland sea in the center of the mainland, a huge ancient tree that seems to connect heaven and earth stands tall.

At the top of this enormous ancient tree, there is a huge vein pattern composed of countless points of light floating in the air.

An inexplicable Daoist aura flowed across this enormous network of energy, captivating all who beheld it.

"My advantage lies in the explosive growth of my life's genetic level?"

Zhou Yang's thinking is divergent.

After three hundred years of comprehension following his breakthrough to the Realm Lord level, he has now successfully imprinted the 29th main lineage diagram of the 'Life Record,' and the evolution speed of his body's genes has reached an extremely terrifying pace.

In his perception, his life gene level has now reached approximately 4900 times, making him comparable to some extremely rare and special life forms in the universe!

If this is considered his specialty, then it's plausible.

"No, it doesn't elevate the level of life's genes; it's just one function of Meteor Tears."

"That's a Meteor Tear? It's my biggest trump card all the way to this point. No, that's not right. The Meteor Tear is certainly a treasure, but it's just an object, not my special skill."

Zhou Yang's gaze gradually became unfocused, his mind wandering in the sky above his inner world.

Suddenly, he was startled.

"Meteor Tears, the inner world, the divine realm, the eight primal powers, evolving into 'Heaven and Earth'."

The confusion in his eyes quickly dissipated, and a sense of understanding gradually welled up in his mind.

"I was so stupid!"

He couldn't help but sigh, "The reason I haven't considered creating my own secret techniques isn't because my knowledge and experience are insufficient, but because the 'Evolution of the Dao' method I'm currently studying is the most suitable path for me!"

His eyes gradually brightened.

"Moreover, if I had to pinpoint my greatest advantage, it would be my perspective that transcends this world!"

"Why should my vision be limited to this world? If even a meteor tear can appear in this world, what else is impossible!"

"If we're talking about the strongest power that can be unleashed in this world, it should be the control over space and time that the Lord of the Universe and the strongest beings in the universe can wield."

"I certainly can't control space and time right now, but if I think about it another way, could I construct a simple little world myself, like the array world Qin Yu created in the Stellar Transformations world—'Qiankun'—based on the Qiankun world within his body?"

"Once the universe is formed, it becomes a small world of its own, within which everything is under one's control, making one virtually invincible below the level of a god-king."

He doesn't have a Qiankun World, but he does have an inner world!

Moreover, his cultivation of the Dao of Derivation is itself similar to the Dao of Array in the Stellar Transformation world!

"By using the method of deduction and combination of the Dao, can we combine the eight lower-level laws that devour the world to achieve the effect of the formation 'Heaven and Earth'?"

"If we could actually pull this off, wouldn't it be somewhat similar to Luo Feng's ultimate secret technique, 'I Am the Universe,' which was rewarded by the will of origin... Hmm~ Seems like this has some potential!"
