Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 139 Improved Secret Techniques, Zhou Yang's Teleportation

At the bottom of a huge, beautiful lake in the Nine Fiends Continent, in region 05.

Zhou Yang took out a safety capsule made entirely of F9 grade metal lapis lazuli mother stone and placed it in the rock layer at the bottom of the lake, then quickly entered it.

"Babata, activate all detector functions and scan the area around my boundary!"

He gave a brief instruction, then began to review the battle that had just taken place.

"Using the 'Heaven and Earth' secret technique, I should have no problem dealing with most Marquis-level Immortals, but I'll struggle against some peak Marquis-level cultivators with special trump cards."

In his battle with the demon clan's Cangyun Hou, he discovered that his "Qiankun" secret technique still had many shortcomings.

The most obvious issue is insufficient attack power.

For example, the Cangyun Marquis, whose divine body was so enormous, even if he stood there and endured the black and white millstones' crushing and tearing, it would take nearly a hundred crushing and tearing of his body to completely obliterate his immortality.

Among the billions of races in the universe, there must be quite a few whose divine bodies are even larger than that of the Marquis of Cangyun, or whose talents are even more mysterious and powerful than his.

If dealing with Marquis Cangyun is this difficult, then it's even more difficult to contend with a king.

"My strongest attack method right now is to gather the power of time and space derived from the entire 'Qiankun World' and condense it into a 'cosmic millstone' to suppress and annihilate the enemy!"

"However, my current 'Qiankun World' has only integrated some of the profound mysteries of the laws; to put it bluntly, it can only be considered a 'prototype' world, and the spacetime power it has evolved is still very limited."

Zhou Yang pondered silently, "While forming a super-large 'cosmic millstone' would certainly have a huge attack range, the corresponding power would also be too dispersed, resulting in insufficient attack power."

"Furthermore, condensing such a large-scale 'cosmic millstone' requires an enormous amount of spacetime and time-consuming energy. How can we improve this?"

His eyes were slightly closed, and his powerful consciousness, comparable to that of a peak-level immortal king, rapidly deduced the Dao of Derivation using the Dao Derivation Disc.

A mysterious, clear stream continuously flowed out from the Meteor Tears, keeping his consciousness in a state of clarity and tranquility.

Even now, having reached a level comparable to being crowned an immortal king, the auxiliary effects of this mysterious stream have not diminished in the slightest.

In this clear and serene state, his five senses expanded infinitely, and the chaos in his mind was gradually cleared up.

"First, the cohesion and speed of the attack must be improved; second, it would be best to combine it with my existing methods."

"How can we improve this?"

His brows were furrowed.

"The principle of 'Qiankun World' is based on the 'Array Space' method of Stellar Transformation, which integrates and evolves the eight basic laws to create a brand new power of space and time."

"This new power of space and time is generated and evolved by my control, so it can be directly controlled without any comprehension, which is its greatest advantage."

He silently deduced the scenario.

"By the way, besides the new space and time forces formed by the fusion, I am also comprehending the time and space laws that devour the universe. Could these two spacetime forces be fused together again?"

"Furthermore, why should I limit myself to forms like 'space' and 'world'? The power of laws should be able to be unleashed through various means, such as knives, spears, swords, halberds, and even telekinetic weapons."

"We must continue to study the eight laws, incorporating more of their profound meanings to make the secret technique more balanced and stable."

As the deductions continued, various insights kept coming to mind.

"That was too crude; my previous idea was really too crude."

"The so-called 'best combination' is all an illusion; it can be improved, and improved still!"

Zhou Yang was immersed in comprehending and improving the secret technique.

Occasionally, he would go out hunting and fighting, verifying his ideas in battle and then reflecting on and improving them.

After a hunting and battle, the time it takes to reflect, comprehend, and cultivate oneself can range from ten days to half a month, or even three to five months.

Continent 05 is already very close to the core of the Nine Fiends Continent. There are many powerful people here. For safety reasons, ordinary Marquis Immortals usually travel in twos and threes.

Therefore, Zhou Yang is not lacking in opponents.

Nourished by the Life Record for hundreds of years, his life gene level has now increased to nearly 6300 times.

In other words, his basic power bursts out with 6300 times the power of a peak World Lord, which is comparable to a strong Marquis!

With the addition of the double amplitude of the first level of the "Secret Scripture of the Dao of Derivation", he can easily unleash more than 12000 times the power of a peak Realm Lord.

Generally speaking, being able to unleash 100 times the power of a peak World Lord is equivalent to the level of an ordinary Military Lord Immortal.

Being able to unleash 1000 times the power of a peak Realm Lord is equivalent to the level of an ordinary Marquis Immortal.

Being able to unleash 10000 times the power of a peak World Lord is already at the level of an ordinary King-level Immortal!

With the help of the Dao-Evolving Disc, this basic power was able to barely cause damage to the "immortal body" of the Marquis-level Immortal.

However, since he is currently only at the Realm Lord level and cannot burn immortal divine power, his overall strength is roughly equivalent to that of a high-level immortal who has been granted the title of Marquis.

Of course, this is without using the secret technique "Qiankun".

Once he uses the 'Qiankun' secret technique, even the incomplete version, he can easily kill an ordinary peak-level Marquis!

Thus, Zhou Yang spent most of his time immersed in comprehending the laws and studying and improving secret techniques, only occasionally going out to hunt.

Moreover, he always uses different methods when he goes out to fight.

Sometimes he uses the Dao-Derivation Disc to unleash the three-headed, six-armed giant, and sometimes he even uses swords, spears, longswords, or even fists and feet for close combat!

As for the "Qiankun" secret technique, which is still under improvement, it is rarely used.

Even so, ordinary Marquis-level Immortals would be almost powerless against him.

Only those immortals of the rank of Marquis or above can put up a fight against him.

However, as Zhou Yang's research into the secret techniques deepened and he gradually incorporated his new insights into the battle, his combat power began to soar at an exaggerated speed!

time flies.

However, for the immortal powerhouses who roam the battlefields beyond the realm, time is just a number.

Their casual adventures or seclusions can last for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

Zhou Yang was so engrossed in comprehending and improving his understanding of the secret technique that eight hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.

"Rumble~~~"

Above a vast, continuous mountain range, two powerful figures are engaged in a fierce battle.

"Human, aren't you annoying? You can't kill me, so why do you keep bothering me!"

A gigantic roc, with wingspans spanning tens of kilometers, spoke in human language, angrily shouting at the figure ahead.

"Haha, Cloud Wing King, you've run away three times, and we've finally bumped into each other. Don't you think this is fate?"

Opposite it was a nearly thousand-foot-tall divine giant, dressed in a pale gold scale armor robe with black and white colors intertwined and entwined on it, eventually forming a black battle blade and a white longsword in his hands.

"King Cloudwing, we have a deep connection. Let's stay and chat!"

The divine giant charged forward swiftly, slashing down with its left-hand sword. A large area of ​​space in front of it shattered instantly, and endless spatial turbulence swallowed up the Cloud Wing King.

Immediately afterward, he thrust out his longsword with his right hand, and a mysterious power descended upon King Yunyi. This power continuously eroded his body, causing some of his genetic cells to begin to age—it was the power of time!

The Cloud Wing King, caught in the spatial turbulence, changed his expression drastically and quickly separated the small part of his body that had been tainted by the power of time from his body.

That one blow alone caused him to lose at least 1.5% of his divine power!

"What kind of fate is this! It's just that your detector is advanced!"

King Yunyi cursed angrily.

Its enormous wings, which covered the sky, fluttered gently. Endless spatial turbulence swirled between its wings, not only failing to hinder it but also actively propelling it forward.

"Go ahead and act crazy, I don't have time to play with you!"

"Whoosh!"

The enormous roc's figure traced a winding path in the air, easily swaying around the divine giant with a mere sway.

Without stopping, it instantly accelerated to its maximum speed and sped off into the distance.

"You stupid humans, you'll just be eating dust following in Grandpa Yunyi's footsteps, hahaha~~~"

The laughter of the Cloud Wing King resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

"The Dark Winged Roc King clan truly lives up to its reputation as the most skilled in space and flight among the eighteen royal clans of the demon race; their movement speed is absolutely monstrous!"

Inside the core of the divine giant, Zhou Yang couldn't help but marvel.

In recent decades, the improvements to the "Qiankun" secret technique have been nearly completed.

Not long ago, during a hunting trip, he happened to encounter a demon immortal at the initial stage of the King rank, and immediately took him as his practice target.

Under the now extremely perfect new "Qiankun" secret technique, even the Cloud Wing King, who was at the initial stage of being a King, could not withstand it and could only passively parry!

This undoubtedly delighted Zhou Yang, as it showed that he had truly mastered the power to rival the immortal kings.

However, this Cloud Wing King is particularly skilled in space and flight. Over the past few decades, Zhou Yang has fought against it three times, but each time it has managed to escape by relying on its unpredictable flight techniques.

However, this time, the outcome might be somewhat different.

One after another, silver stars flew out rapidly. As Zhou Yang's consciousness stirred, countless threads of law began to intertwine, and a hazy phantom of a world instantly descended, directly covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of kilometers around. A series of binding forces began to envelop the Cloud Wing King.

"Human, are you stupid? That trick won't work on me!"

The giant roc-like Cloud Wing King mocked.

Its enormous wings fluttered gently, and endless spatial turbulence swirled between them, weakening the binding forces to the point that they could hardly affect its speed.

"Heh, who said I released 'The Universe' to bind you?"

Zhou Yang's laughter echoed in the hazy world.

"Whoosh!"

The figure of the divine giant vanished from the spot.

At the same time, the space in front of King Yunyi rippled slightly, and a familiar figure quietly appeared!

Its eyes widened instantly!

"Instant teleportation!"
