Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 186

Some of these creatures from the hidden realms come to explore, while others come specifically to hunt down outsiders.

Although the primordial universe was vast and its resources were virtually inexhaustible, conflict and struggle remained the dominant forces.

……

"arrive!"

Looking at the dreamlike colors of space and time before him, and feeling the intense sense of temporal distortion, Ultraman's clone realized that he had arrived at his destination.

Once you pass through this mist of time and space, you will be able to reach the depths of the Ruins of Time and Space.

The Ultra clone used Ultra Vision, and with its compatibility with the fundamental laws of the universe, it barely managed to make out a small part of the structure of this area.

The entire Time-Space Ruins resembles a clockwork-shaped fan structure, with countless fragments of time and space stacked within it, seemingly representing the entire time and space of the secret realm piled up here.

Looking at this strange cosmic environment, Ultraman's clone dared not be careless, not only because of the threat posed by the environment.

According to the information provided by Teacher Xiyue Wang, it seems that a Universe Venerable has also come to this secret realm.

Indeed, such rare cosmic environments would surely interest many cosmic venerables.

"Hopefully we won't run into any of the cosmic beings inside!"

The Ultra clone cautiously penetrated the spacetime mist, remaining vigilant as it continuously activated its Ultra Vision to observe its surroundings.

In this kind of environment, detectors are really not as effective as one's own eyesight.

hum...

As it flew, Ultraman's clone lost track of how far it had traveled. Suddenly, it felt as if it had crossed a barrier and arrived in a completely different world from the original universe.

"Time and spacetime are out of order!"

Ultraman's clone passed through the spacetime mist and fell into a spacetime fragment. Sensing the change in time, it quickly entered the virtual universe network.

Sure enough, time flowed ten times slower in the area where he was located compared to the outside world.

"Ten times slower!"

Ultraman's clone frowned; he wasn't looking for the area where time slowed down. He then rushed out of the spacetime fragment again.

Breaking out of the spacetime fragment, Ultraman's clone once again ventured into this dreamlike spacetime mist.

In the mist of time and space, spatial and temporal positioning and perception are all interfered with, making it impossible to distinguish up, down, left, or right, and one can only rely on luck to get through.

call out!

Ultraman's clone randomly chose a direction and flew through the mist for a while before entering another fragment of spacetime.

This time time has indeed accelerated, but only five times faster than the outside world.

"Searching like this probably won't solve anything!"

Ultraman's clone pondered for a moment, then directly summoned the Stone Wings.

Stone Wings adjusted its size and shape, landing directly on the back of Ultraman's clone as inverted wings, empowering it.

"Remember this feeling!"

After the Stone Wing landed on his back, Ultraman clone instantly felt his mental will be sublimated, and his ability to perceive the origin of the universe was wildly enhanced.

Especially regarding the perception of the origin of time, even in this chaotic spacetime, Ultraman's clone could vaguely sense the direction of time.

"Something seems to be attracting me!"

Just then, Ultraman's clone instantly sensed that something was calling to him from the deepest part of this void of time and space—or more precisely, the Stone Wings on his body.

What could attract Stone Wings must be at least a supreme treasure.

However, Ultraman's clone was not blinded by this. There were cosmic beings in this secret realm, so it was best to be cautious.

That thing has been here for so long and it's still here, so it probably won't take up much more time.

Ultraman's clone flew slowly through the spacetime mist, constantly selecting those spacetime fragments with faster time flow.

During this time, they would occasionally encounter some immortals who were exploring, but Ultraman's clones, finding it troublesome, would simply stay far away, not wanting to waste any time.

"2000x acceleration!"

Ultraman's clone rushed into a spacetime fragment, compared the speed with that of the original universe, and his eyes instantly revealed joy. This spacetime fragment was two thousand times happier than the outside world.

"almost!"

If we keep searching, who knows when we'll find a space fragment with more than two thousand times the time acceleration? We might as well seize the opportunity we have now.

"Let's begin our training!"

Ultraman's clone landed in the fragment and began to accelerate his cultivation by taking advantage of time.

With time accelerated two thousand times, Lu Yunhe was completely immersed in cultivation.

This training mainly focuses on Ultraman's clone, since only he is in this time acceleration, and the other clones can only come and participate.

In fact, although time acceleration exists within the entire Void of Time and Space, its effect on comprehending the laws is actually very poor, and it may not even be as good as the original universe environment outside.

After all, the entire spacetime was in chaos, with the laws of spacetime in disarray and the original environment in chaos, making it unsuitable for comprehending the laws.

Almost all those who have reached this point are already immortal kings, and have reached a bottleneck in their understanding of the laws. Almost no one considers this place a place for cultivation.

However, Ultraman's clones bear the mark of the original universe's will, along with the "spot of light" located in the origin, and finally, the special treasure, the Stone Wings.

Under these circumstances, the Ultra clone's affinity in this chaotic environment is not much worse than in the original universe environment.

During this cultivation, Lu Yunhe had two main goals. One was naturally the most fundamental realm: to raise his understanding of the laws to the level of the twentieth level of the Bridge to Heaven.

What does the accumulation at the realm master level mainly refer to? It refers to the degree of comprehension of the fundamental laws.

At the Realm Lord level, one already possesses the Law level of the twentieth level of the Bridge to Heaven. Once one breaks through, one can basically reach the peak of the King level, directly skipping the cultivation of the Immortal God stage.

The second goal is naturally the creation of secret techniques, since a good set of secret techniques is indispensable if you want to break the original core of the clones.

After finding a suitable place to train, the various Ultra clones began their busy training, each assigned corresponding tasks and cultivating in a way that suited them best.

If Ultraman gains any insight into the secret techniques and laws during this time, his clone will travel beyond the space-time fragments to embark on another adventure or challenge a King to a duel to verify his understanding.

Anyway, as long as they don't stray too far from this spacetime fragment, Ultraman's clones can always find their way back.

If he encounters a bottleneck, Lu Yunhe, who is in Chaos City, will directly seek advice from the City Lord of Chaos.

The Lord of Chaos City was also incredulous at Lu Yunhe's exaggerated speed of progress.

Even though Lu Yunhe had informed him that his clone was in a state of time acceleration, the Chaos City Lord was still shocked.

After all, time acceleration isn't very effective for geniuses.

Otherwise, the Lord of Chaos City would have already arranged a time acceleration program for those geniuses who have lived for tens of millions of epochs, allowing them to reach the level of immortality or even cosmic venerables as soon as possible.

For geniuses, growth is not something that can be achieved simply by burying themselves in hard work; they also need sufficient external training.

……

In the blink of an eye, a hundred years had passed in the primordial universe, while the Ultra clones in the spacetime fragments had also spent a full two hundred thousand years.

This period of time was also an incredibly long time for Lu Yunhe.

After all, according to the timeline of the original universe, he has not cultivated for more than two thousand years.

"What a long training period!"

Lu Yunhe in Chaos City sighed, but his gains were also great. Two hundred thousand years of cultivation had brought his accumulation to its limit.

In the thousand years before the time acceleration, Lu Yunhe had fully comprehended all eight fundamental laws, mainly because the affinity between the earth, water, and wind laws was not high.

In the following period, Lu Yunhe also comprehended the fundamental laws of time and space to the level of the twentieth level of the Tongtian Bridge, and thus gained the recognition of the fundamental laws of time and space.

This includes three major categories of space: teleportation, blockade, and strangulation; and three major categories of time: time stillness, acceleration, and deceleration. All six categories have been thoroughly understood.

Unfortunately, Lu Yunhe still has no clue how to integrate the three major categories into one and fully comprehend the superior laws of a system. It will probably take a long time and some inspiration.

In addition to the fundamental laws, Lu Yunhe also deduced the three great beast god paths of Golden Void, Fire Void, and Light Time to a level comparable to the twentieth level of the Tongtian Bridge.

In terms of the laws, Lu Yunhe has almost reached the limit that immortal gods can achieve. If he makes even a slight improvement in any aspect, he can directly break through to become a cosmic venerable.

However, just like the fundamental laws, Lu Yunhe is also a little lacking in secret techniques.

In the past two hundred thousand years, Lu Yunhe has created three top-level secret techniques: Fire Void, Metal Void, and Light Time.

Based on the number of opponents using arcane techniques, this means they have all reached the level of 1999 enemies.

Defeating the two thousandth enemy means reaching the ultimate level of arcane magic.

However, the difficulty of this two thousandth enemy is greater than the combined difficulty of the previous 1999 enemies.

Lu Yunhe did not give up on the other five Paths of the Beast Gods either, and managed to create a peak-level secret technique for each of them, such as Wood Void and Water Void...

With only two hundred thousand years to go and a lot of other experiences to spare, Lu Yunhe did not create the ultimate secret technique.

Fortunately, the impact was not significant. Without a perfect gene-level clone at the realm master level, and without an inner world spanning a trillion kilometers, a single peak-level secret technique was enough to break the original core of all his clones.

As for the ultimate secret technique, with Lu Yunhe's talent, it's not impossible for him to create it if he really wanted to.

Yes, but not necessary.

Anyway, there's plenty of time ahead, so it's not too late to create things slowly.

In addition, Lu Yunhe also honed his will to the level of a Universe Venerable, but he lacked the corresponding training materials. After reaching the level of a Universe Venerable, his will became more difficult to improve.

Time and space are returning to nothingness!

"Finally, I can break through to immortality!"

At this moment, the Ultra clone, which was over 1000 meters tall, sat cross-legged in the void, just like Buddha.

At this point, Lu Yunhe's accumulation in all aspects had reached its limit, and all he needed to do next was break through to the Immortal God realm.

"Pronucleus!"

Ultraman's clone immersed its consciousness in the primordial core within its body. The incredibly hard primordial core seemed to reflect the flow of the cosmic galaxy, and outside the galaxy, there was an incomparably dazzling halo.

In fact, when it comes to the genetic level, Ultraman's clone, like Lu Yunhe's main body, is only one hundred times larger under the limitations of the original universe's rules.

It simply has an additional Light of the Soul, a power with special amplification.

However, in terms of the strength of the original core, the original core of the Ultra clone is in no way inferior to that of other special life clones, and may even be stronger.

Within the primordial core of the body, the image of Ultra's clone appeared inside.

"Breakthrough!"
