Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 259 Cosmic Level and New Abilities

Bai Yang did nothing for the time being, quietly waiting for his injuries to heal.

The pressure from these cosmic rules is simply unbearable and cannot be resisted.

At least for now, he certainly can't fight back.

Inside his body, countless tiny wounds were healing at an astonishing speed.

As for the monster clones that have shown their complete forms, the good ones will be here even faster.

Only the spacetime clone was relatively slower.

"From now on, let the monster create clones and continue practicing the [Six Styles] on its tail."

Do not touch this thing.

The Lord of Dragons probably just casually carved some things on the Chaos Stele, and the artistic conception here is far inferior to that of the Beast God statue in the Blood Luo World.

Otherwise, this Chaos Stele might not have been carved at all.

Although it is very helpful in improving combat power, Bai Yang still focuses on comprehending the laws first.

After that, he returned to a very regular life.

He spends all his time either comprehending the laws of nature or practicing swordsmanship.

Occasionally, I'll get together with the geniuses from this year's cohort to relax a bit.

He seemed to have forgotten the existence of both the Bridge to Heaven and the Chaos Stele.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

"Brother Bai, did you go to the wilderness with Ai Chen again yesterday?"

Luo Feng chuckled and asked.

The couple had been inseparable for a long time, and Bai Yang, unconcerned about the teasing, laughed and said:

"Yes, she also enjoys practical experience."

Anyway, I need to practice my swordsmanship, so it'll be safer for me to go with her.

Luo Feng suddenly sighed with emotion: "Time really flies."

Luo Ping already has children, and I've become a grandfather.

We are still so young.

Bai Yang laughed heartily:

"What's this? Time in the initial universe is much slower than in the original universe."

By the time we leave, Luo Ping might have become a grandfather.

Won't you be even more embarrassed then? Who told you to have a child so early?

The two sat in Bai Yang's temporary residence, chatting casually.

At this time, Luo Feng had already begun to study the "Bloodstained Swordplay" and the sword techniques recorded by Luo Kelu.

Although Bai Yang did not focus on studying the laws of space, he was a master of swordsmanship.

Luo Feng had some questions about this, so he naturally asked him. The two continued to move around in Chaos City from time to time.

"Those who have now broken into the top ten have basically passed the first level of the bridge to heaven."

Brother Bai, why don't you go try again? Many people try several times a year.

"I might go soon, I'm not really in a rush."

After Luo Feng left, Bai Yang tidied up a bit and returned to the study in his temporary residence.

Actually, today was his second day of the "realistic simulation," which is why he was unusually relaxed.

After midnight, Bai Yang conducted a simulation following the procedure from three years ago.

He went directly to check some key information:

"[In the 7th year, you successfully cleared the seventh floor, drawing widespread amazement.]"

In the 27th year, you challenged the eighth level, but failed again.

[In the 28th year, you traveled to Dragon Tower Star with great caution, only to be killed by a terrifying dragon beast.]

This simulation has ended. Please select:

1. Realistically simulated memory

2. Realistically simulated ability cultivation

3. A realistic simulation of the feeling of power.

4. Earth Points +1"

Bai Yang frowned slightly and casually chose option 3, gaining a sense of power.

The progress in strength was within his expectations.

380 years of simulated time seems like a lot, but the Bridge to Heaven gets more and more difficult as you progress, and you won't be able to pass even one more level without a hundred years.

Later on, because one leaves the initial universe, the speed at which one comprehends the laws becomes even slower.

How could he possibly die on Dragon Tower Star after such a significant increase in his strength?

The level of danger is truly astonishing.

"If you can pass the seventh level of the Sky Bridge, then you have the combat power of a World Lord at the Universe level."

Is it really that dangerous to explore the secrets of Dragon Tower?

I refuse to believe it; let's see what happens in the next simulation!

-

So came the third, the fourth, and finally the tenth simulation.

Even though Bai Yang's understanding of the laws at this time was already at the level of passing the ninth level, and even gaining the recognition of the laws.

He was still met with the same fate: death on Dragon Tower Star.

He was completely numb.

"The ninth level of the Bridge to Heaven is where one can gain insights into the laws of ordinary realm lords at their peak, but below the level of immortality."

In the end, they still couldn't deal with those dragons?

Could this place, like the Blood Luo World, be hiding many immortals?

But if it really exists, why doesn't the Virtual Universe Company send people to suppress it?

Bai Yang from the [Real Simulation] seems to have clashed with this place.

As soon as they left the initial universe, they insisted on going here, but because of death, the last few simulations didn't last long.

Bai Yang felt sorry for him too.

"I definitely have to go here."

But you must prepare in advance and investigate thoroughly before you go.

Bai Yang left the study, no longer dwelling on the question.

The days of this generation of geniuses in the initial universe are coming to an end.

He didn't have much time left and needed to make some arrangements before leaving.

Over the past thirty years, he has crossed the sixth level of the Heavenly Bridge.

However, having only comprehended the Chaos Stele five times, since he was about to leave, he would definitely use up all his comprehending attempts.

We can't wait thousands of years to use these numbers again.

"Then let's break through to the cosmic level first."

At that time, the system will most likely develop new capabilities.

I refuse to believe I can't handle this Dragon Tower Star.

Bai Yang returned to the cultivation room, sat down, and began to activate the genetic energy within his body that had already accumulated to its limit.

Within his dantian, the nine miniature stars broke free from their previous constraints and began absorbing cosmic energy from the outside world.

All nine stars began to vibrate and their volume began to expand rapidly.

A massive energy vortex instantly appeared above Baiyang's residence in Chaos City.

In the primordial universe, incredibly pure energy suddenly poured into Bai Yang's body.

Stimulated by this, the nine miniature stars inside his body exploded one after another.

It turned into countless fragments of stars, and even formed a large amount of dust nebula.

It then gradually formed into a giant spiral galaxy with eight spiral arms.

At the very core of this enormous spiral galaxy lies a tiny, dark region.

That place is the first "black hole" in the entire Whirlpool Galaxy.

Bai Yang has officially advanced to the cosmic level!

He ignored everything else and looked directly at the system panel in his mind.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, your strength has reached the [Cosmic Level], contributing to the cause of protecting Earth!"

Earth points +100!

System update!

New feature added: Earth Travel

[Earth Travel] Count +1

A large amount of information was poured into Bai Yang's mind.

Fortunately, it's all text content, which is sufficient for our current cosmic-level thinking speed.

He completed the reception very easily.

"This [Earth Travel] technique actually allows me to travel to Earth's past five years in a new body?!"

Instead of being in the form of an emulator!?

In other words, I can gain both [memories] and [cultivation insights] in one go.

You might even be able to retrieve an item.

And death doesn't matter; you'll just lose that "item."
