Swallowing the Stars: I'll Destroy the Universe with My Talent Attributes

His cultivation had improved too quickly and needed time to settle. He then took out the Light Essence Crystal, a milky-white crystal the size of a human head, which was one of his greatest assets during this seclusion.

The Light Essence Crystal is not a treasure that directly enhances cultivation, but rather a "catalyst for comprehending the laws." Placing it nearby will cause the starlight flowing within the crystal to emit special fluctuations, greatly enhancing the cultivator's ability to sense the laws of light.

Qin Yuan held the Light Essence Crystal in his hands and immersed his consciousness into it.

In an instant, his perception of "light" was magnified a hundredfold!

The originally uniform light in the sealed room was broken down into billions of threads of different colors in his eyes, each thread representing a specific light wave frequency.

The threads intertwine, interfere, and diffract, forming an extremely complex network of light.

At an even deeper level, he can “see” the subtle interactions between light and space, time, and energy—a level of perception he had never reached before.

"The first level of the Seven Realms of Illusory Light, the Avatar of Light, so that's how it is..."

With the aid of the Light Essence Crystal, Qin Yuan's understanding of this secret technique of the Light Pupil Clan began to deepen rapidly. Previously, he could only create clones, but now he understood the essence of clones:

It is not simply about using energy to create an outer shell, but about using the information of light to replicate the "imprint of existence" of the original, so that the laws of the universe acknowledge that this replica has the same "realness" as the original.

With a thought, ten clones appeared beside him, each clone's aura, energy fluctuations, and eyes were completely identical to his original body.

This has surpassed the standards of the test and reached the profound realm of "Aurora Seven Realms". The clone possesses 50% of the combat power of the original body and can independently carry out complex tasks.

Next is the second layer, the refraction of light...

The third layer, the colors of light...

The fourth level, focusing of light...

His cultivation level also steadily improved as he continued to absorb the star dew.

In the fourth month, he refined the eleventh to twentieth drops of star dew, reaching the mid-stage of the eighth level of the Domain Lord realm, and the Singularity World had a diameter of 280 kilometers.

In the fifth month, after absorbing the remaining twenty drops of Star Dew, his cultivation broke through to the early stage of the ninth level of Domain Lord. The Singularity World had a diameter of 350 kilometers. At this point, all forty drops of Star Dew were exhausted.

At this time, Qin Yuan had been in seclusion for five months (accelerated internal time).

The first phase goal was exceeded—his cultivation level increased from the late stage of the seventh level of Domain Lord to the early stage of the ninth level of Domain Lord.

His comprehension of secret techniques has advanced by leaps and bounds. He has achieved near-perfect mastery of the "Seven Realms of Illusory Light" and has fully mastered the laws of light, surpassing many senior ninth-level world lords who specialize in light.

"The next stage is the second phase: comprehending the laws and creating secret techniques."

Qin Yuan took out the Time Crystal Core he had obtained from the Light Time Beast.

Inside the crystal core, which is the size of a pigeon egg, the tiny phantom of a clock continues to turn, emitting silvery-gray time fluctuations.

The law of time is one of the two supreme laws of the universe (time and space), and it is fundamentally different from the subordinate laws.

Under normal circumstances, a domain lord-level being would never come into contact with the laws of time, let alone comprehend them.

But Qin Yuan was lucky; the Lighttime Beast was a natural time-based creature, and its crystal core contained fragments of the most basic true meaning of time.

"Let's start with 'time acceleration'."

Qin Yuan placed the crystal core close to his brow and let his consciousness sink into it.

Unlike the clear perception when absorbing the light source crystal, the time crystal nucleus brings a sense of "disorientation".

The moment his consciousness entered the crystal core, Qin Yuan felt his thoughts being stretched, compressed, and folded... One second he was thinking about cultivation, the next he was jumping to his childhood memories, and the next he seemed to see blurry fragments of the future.

This is a characteristic of the law of time; it inherently contains the interweaving of the past, present, and future.

Qin Yuan steadied his mind, simultaneously activating all the key attributes. His talent enhanced his comprehension, while his combat instincts provided analytical abilities. Combining the two, he began to forcefully decipher the mysteries of the time fragments.

Five days had passed in the outside world when Qin Yuan finally grasped the first glimpse of the true meaning of the law of time: the order of time.

Time is not a river that flows evenly, but a chain made up of countless “time fragments”.

Each instant is an independent point in time, and there are specific connection patterns between these points.

Changing the connection method can change the flow of time. Acceleration compresses the interval between time points, deceleration increases the interval, and pausing temporarily disconnects the connection.

"I see......"

Qin Yuan opened his eyes, a flash of silver-gray light disappearing from them.

He attempted to manipulate the flow of time within the secret chamber.

This place inherently possesses a tenfold acceleration, a feature of the secret chamber's formation. What Qin Yuan needs to do is not change the overall flow rate, but rather create a "local temporal field" around his own body.

He extended his right hand, his five fingers loosely clenched.

The light in his palm began to distort, not due to spatial distortion, but rather a shift in the light wave frequency caused by changes in the flow of time. Under his precise control, the flow of time in his palm area was increased to 1.5 times the normal speed.

Although it was a small success, it was a success!

"Next, let's try to use the time acceleration ability for the Starlight Law."

This is the real challenge. Combining the two laws of ability is not a simple addition, but a qualitative change where "1+1 is greater than 2".

Qin Yuan began to try again and again.

He first released a normal starlight ray at 0.8 times the speed of light; then he tried to incorporate time acceleration into the ray, but failed on the first try.

The time field clashed with the starlight energy, causing the rays to collapse and dissipate halfway through their journey.

The second time, the third time... the thousandth time.

In the seventh month of the time-accelerated chamber, Qin Yuan finally found a balance.

He raised his right index finger, and a point of silvery starlight shone from the fingertip.

This time, the starlight is no longer pure light energy, but contains seven layers of micro-time sequence structure. From the time it is launched to the time it hits the target, the starlight will undergo seven time accelerations, each acceleration increasing by 10% compared to the previous stage, and finally the overall speed will reach 1.5 times the speed of light!

And this is only the initial stage.

Qin Yuan could sense that if more temporal structures could be incorporated, or the magnitude of each acceleration could be increased, the speed of the starlight could be further improved.

In theory, if time acceleration is strong enough, it could even allow starlight to break the speed of light limit.

Of course, that requires him to have an extremely high level of understanding of the laws of time.

"Let's call this move 'Time Sequence Starlight'."

"Try combining the Time-Sequence Starlight with the Triple Destruction Gun."

Qin Yuan took out the Star Abyss Spear from the World Ring.

With a fifth-tier Force weapon in hand, his entire aura suddenly changed.

Starlight, space, and lightning—three laws—began to operate simultaneously. The singularity world within his dantian frantically drew energy, channeling it into the spear through the meridians in his arms. Silver, white, and purple patterns appeared on the spear, intertwining to form a complex array of three-phase laws.

But this is not over yet.

Qin Yuan added the newly comprehended "temporal structure" to the array.

This is not a simple overlay, but rather weaving the sequence of time into every intersection of the three laws like threads. This requires terrifying precision in manipulation and an understanding of the laws; the slightest mistake could lead to an energy outburst.

Time ticked by, and fine beads of sweat appeared on Qin Yuan's forehead. His consciousness was divided into four streams, each controlling starlight, space, lightning, and time, while also coordinating the balance between them.

It would have been impossible to complete without the super-powerful multi-threaded processing capabilities granted by the [Battle Genius (Blue)] attribute.

Three hours later, the light on the Star Abyss Spear stabilized.

The original three-colored light now has an almost invisible silver-gray shadow, like a wisp of mist mixed into a rainbow.

A subtle distortion appeared in the space around the gun, caused by the refraction of light due to the uneven flow of time.

"Triple Annihilation Spear - Time, complete."

Qin Yuan did not test this move in the secret room.

The power is too great and may damage the facilities.

But he could sense that this shot was at least three times more powerful than the original, and it also had a time-disruption effect, which could create weaknesses in the enemy's defenses under different time flow rates.

With his Laws and Abilities initially established, Qin Yuan began to focus on another area of ​​creation: Domain Sublimation.

His current "Starry Sky Domain" is based on the law of starlight, and incorporates spatial law abilities such as space folding techniques, and even a suppression domain formed by some lightning laws.

Now, he wants to incorporate the laws of time into it as well.

This time, he drew inspiration from the worlds of the Illusionary Light Realm Lord, the Light Pupil Clan, and even the Aurora Realm Lord.

Especially the last one.

The seven-layered structure of that world, each layer corresponding to a characteristic of the laws of light, nested layer by layer to form a complete system.

“My field can also be structured in multiple layers.”

Qin Yuan deployed his Starry Sky Domain.

shuh~

Under his deliberate control, the silver space enveloped the training platform.

Then, Qin Yuan began to construct the second layer within the domain: the time disorder layer.

This is not a uniform acceleration or deceleration of time, but rather the creation of dozens of "time bubbles" of varying sizes, each with a different time flow rate, randomly distributed from 0.5 times to 3 times.

Once the enemy is trapped in the domain, different parts of their body will be at different time flows, leading to disorientation of movement and disorder of energy circulation.

On the third level, he incorporated light-based illusions he had learned from "The True Explanation of Aurora".

The light is further distorted in the time disorder layer, creating a visual deception that is difficult to distinguish from reality.

When the three-layer structure was completed, the originally simple starry sky field had transformed into a more complex composite field, the "spacetime optoelectronic field".

At this point, the second phase of goals has been largely achieved: an introduction to the laws of time, creation of "Time Sequence Starlight" and "Spacetime Optoelectronics Domain", and refinement of "Three-Phase Annihilation Gun".

The time has now reached the eighth month of seclusion.

Chapter 201 entry activated: 'Open for business'!

"It's time to push for the third stage."

Qin Yuan took out the last batch of resources: scattered light-element materials collected from the Aurora Realm Main World, and three bottles of "Starlight Essence" purchased with the remaining funds. This stuff is a weakened version of Star Dew, with five drops in each bottle.

He began to focus all his efforts on breaking through the bottleneck in his cultivation.

The transition from the early stage of the ninth rank of Domain Lord to the peak of the ninth rank is a small threshold. It requires a qualitative change in the structure of the Singularity World, evolving it from a simple energy storage device into a rudimentary form capable of initially bearing the "power of the world".

Qin Yuan's singularity world has reached a diameter of 350 kilometers. Inside, there are starlight condensed into illusory stars, a stable framework constructed by the laws of space, and an energy cycle formed by a trace of the laws of lightning.

Now, he wants to incorporate the laws of time to bring this world to life.
