Chapter 297 Ten Thousand Years of Accumulation

Chapter 297 Ten Thousand Years of Accumulation

After King Baimo, the Lord of Chaos City contacted him via virtual email:

"Ye Yang, how is it? I've already notified Guiyi to go to the Star Tower. The closest human powerhouse to you is the 'Heavenly Array King,' but it will take some time before a passage to your location is available. As long as you don't leave the Sealed Star, the Zerg's Cosmic Venerable can't do anything to you in the short term. But if he tries to take you back to the Zerg territory, immediately self-destruct. Remember, it's better to self-destruct than to be enslaved by your soul!"

Ye Yang immediately replied, "Teacher, I'm safe for now."

He then immediately went to the Chaos Temple in the virtual universe.

"Junior Brother? Are you alright?" In the Chaos Temple, besides the Chaos City Lord, there was also the figure of Venerable Guiyi.

Upon seeing Ye Yang appear, Venerable Guiyi gave him a serious look.

"Teacher, Second Senior Brother," Ye Yang nodded and said, "I have temporarily escaped the threat of the Cosmic Venerable from the Zerg camp, and am currently trapped inside the Star Tower."

"What's going on?" the Chaos City Lord asked, frowning.

The Star Tower—that supreme treasure standing on the seventh battlefield—is a weapon coveted by countless strongest beings in the universe!

As one of the pillars of humanity, he had naturally tried to subdue the Star Tower back then, but he failed. His power was applied to the Star Tower, but he couldn't budge it at all!

Even without human control, the Star Tower, standing atop the Seventh Battlefield, possesses a tearing force naturally generated when it absorbs cosmic energy, capable of easily annihilating a Cosmic Venerable. Even the Lord of the Universe is powerless against it.

Even for high-ranking human leaders, the interior of such a treasure is a place they cannot freely enter or leave.

"Seeing that I was about to be captured by that alien venerable, I manipulated the Star-Sealing Tower and rushed towards the edge of the passage. At that time, I was already very close to the edge of the void passage's forbidden zone, so I rushed directly into the depths of the Star Tower."

Ye Yang smiled and said, "However, the Star-Sealing Formation is a treasure inside the Star Tower, a place where anyone who enters is bound to die. I actually survived riding the Star-Sealing Formation."

"I'm currently deep inside the Star Tower, and my life is temporarily safe. However, I don't know how to get out, and even if I abandon the star that seals me, I can't escape."

Venerable Guiyi's eyes widened: "Riding a sealed star to venture deep into the Star Tower? How could you even think of that? You're incredibly lucky to have survived."

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Chaos City narrowed his eyes: "Sealing the stars?"

He looked at Ye Yang and asked, "Ye Yang, did you find anything inside that Star Tower?"

Ye Yang naturally understood the Chaos City Lord's thoughts. The human race was desperately lacking a supreme treasure. If they could get their hands on the Star Tower, then even if they couldn't return to their former state where no one in the entire universe dared to provoke them, their strength would at least increase significantly.

The pressure on these pillars of their communities will be much less.

"Teacher, it's full of sealed stars and huge pillars inside. My power can't extend beyond the sealed stars at all," Ye Yang said helplessly.

He could only keep the matter of Puti a secret.

"I see—." The Chaos City Lord nodded, not too disappointed.

After all, the Star Tower has been the Seventh Battlefield for countless years, and it is not so easy to subdue it.

"Ye Yang, you are deep inside the Star Tower, which is a supreme treasure with limitless power. Even I cannot shake it in the slightest, which means I cannot rescue you," the Chaos City Lord sighed.

"Teacher, it's alright. I have more than just one or two clones. If we still can't find a way to leave, we can just abandon the treasures we have," Ye Yang said with a smile.

The Lord of Chaos City chuckled and shook his head: "You seem to have a very open-minded attitude—"

After explaining to the Lord of Chaos City, Ye Yang exited the virtual universe.

Back in reality, Ye Yang opened his eyes and looked at the smooth floor of the main hall in front of him.

There, only he and Puti were present, and it was incredibly quiet.

Only the throbbing pain deep within my soul remained intense.

"I never imagined I'd end up like this," he thought to himself, then his gaze hardened. "Plot revision? Fate and karma?"

"They seem quite certain that my attempt to convert to God will fail. Well, let's give it a try!"

Ye Yang has taken care of all external affairs; what follows is a long and lonely period.

Within his inner world, Ye Yang's first golden horn clone took out the snake-patterned bead and began to comprehend it.

Since being corrupted by the "Supreme True Spiritual Words," he put his second avatar into a deep sleep, while the Serpent Bead was transferred to his first avatar for constant study and comprehension.

At the same time, Ye Yang was also studying and understanding the "Supreme True and Spiritual Words" in his memory.

The two insights, when combined, remarkably complemented each other, enabling Ye Yang to progress at an astonishing pace!

In addition, the Chaos City Lord's "Cosmic Chaos Manuscript" can also provide some inspiration.

Time flows on, never stopping for anyone or anything.

Nearly 3000 years have passed in the blink of an eye, more than 2900 years of which is an incredibly long span of time for countless tiny lives.

For ancient Earth civilizations, this spans from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Beijing Olympics.

However, for countless powerful beings and ancient existences in the universe, 2900 years is just a fleeting moment.

In the primordial universe, in the city of Chaos, a black-haired youth walked towards the city lord's mansion with a smile on his face.

"Your Highness Luo Feng, the city lord has already given orders that you may enter directly upon your arrival." The group of immortal gods in front of the inner palace gate dared not stop Luo Feng upon his arrival.

Luo Feng smiled and went straight inside.

A short while later, he was moved out.

"I thought I'd get some kind of reward for becoming his personal disciple—" Luo Feng chuckled to himself. "But Master Chaos City Lord asked me to come see him once when I become a Realm Lord and once when I leave Chaos City. I guess there's something special going on. Otherwise, we could just meet in the virtual universe."

As Luo Feng left the city lord's mansion, he thought of Ye Yang, whom he had brought to pay respects to the Chaos City Lord for the first time.

"Speaking of which, my elder brother has kept a low profile ever since his identity was exposed several hundred years ago—more than 2900 years ago in the original universe—due to a battle with a powerful immortal insect queen. We haven't heard any news about him recently."

"In previous years, I could occasionally get a response when I tried to contact him, but in the last hundred years, he has been completely shut down through a virtual universe, and I can't contact him at all. What is he doing?"

Luo Feng knew that Ye Yang had an avatar on Earth, but there was no movement from there; he had been in seclusion.

This puzzled him greatly.

"Never mind, what I need to do next is to break through the Primordial Heavenly Mountain, which is at the Domain Lord level, and then break through to the Realm Lord level!" Luo Feng shook his head and continued cultivating.

Nearly 400 years have passed since the beginning of the universe.

Click click click click—·

Inside the main hall, at the heart of the Star Tower.

Ye Yang clenched his teeth, and a small pile of teeth had already accumulated on the ground, all from the teeth he had bitten off while biting too hard from time to time.

"Focus your attention!"

"Damn it, I'm almost there! Let me finish! Fuck!"

His voice was suppressed in his throat, his eyes were bloodshot, and his gaze was like that of a madman.

Ye Yang has already comprehended 99% of the 1,248,048 second-tier snake scales with snake-scale-like patterns, and only less than 10,000 scales are left.

However, in recent centuries, he has gradually felt that his soul is approaching a certain limit.

I can't hold on much longer!

It wasn't that he didn't want to get through it, but just as a mortal's flesh and blood cannot withstand a rolling boulder, some things cannot be changed by mental strength alone.

The soul is not merely information; it also possesses its own material structure and energy properties.

During the fusion process with the Star Tower Beads, a certain power gradually flowed into Ye Yang's soul.

By now, it has reached the limit that his soul can bear.

Ye Yang continued to analyze and study the second-tier snake scale patterns piece by piece.

But this speed is getting slower and slower, slower and slower.

Gradually, he became fixated on a cluster of snake scale patterns, just like someone who gets sleepy during an exam and can be stuck on a single question for a long time.

Twelve years later, Ye Yang had been staring at this snake scale pattern for twelve years, motionless, as if petrified.

Sudden·

thunderbolt!

As if a thunderclap had ripped through the night sky, Ye Yang's whole body jolted violently.

Consciousness, will, and soul have all undergone a qualitative change, even like a chain reaction, promoting each other and leaping forward by a large margin!

He came to his senses and realized that he was soaked in cold sweat.

Ye Yang calculated the time, assessed his current state, and couldn't help but smile bitterly as he recalled his earlier memories: "I almost died just now."

The first two candidates persisted for 2600 years and 3300 years, respectively.

As for Luo Feng, in the original story, he reached a certain limit in 3200 years, and his willpower greatly increased after the breakthrough. Only after experiencing it did Ye Yang roughly understand:

"This hurdle is a hurdle for the will of a cosmic sovereign!"

"That candidate of the third state of mind persisted for 3300 years. In fact, by 3200 years, the demands of pain on will had reached a level close to that of a cosmic sage."

"But because that candidate cultivated the third type of mental state, he miraculously persisted for another 100 years. However, no matter how miraculous it is, this world is also material, and it is impossible for one's wishes to come true. His will failed to break through, so he eventually fell."

"I was also close to 3300 years ago. If I hadn't succeeded at the last moment, I would probably have ended up like that candidate, only lasting 3300 years before perishing."

Ye Yang took a deep breath.

A leap in will leads to a certain transformation of the soul.

The excruciating pain that had previously made it difficult for him to concentrate on his research was now easily overcome by him.

Just like that incredibly tenacious patch of green between the rocks, even a mountain can be cracked open!

"Haha—that feels much better now." Ye Yang laughed loudly, completely ignoring the strange look in Puti's eyes.

Keep practicing!

Four hundred years later, Ye Yang comprehended all 1248048 second-tier snake scales.

With this, the second-tier Serpent Scale system was fully completed, and Ye Yang's strength finally ushered in another leap!

By this time, Ye Yang had been in the Seventh Extraterrestrial Battlefield for over 3700 years.

For over 3500 years, they cultivated in the core area of ​​this Star Tower.

Within Ye Yang's inner world, countless silver wings, having lost the management of their "caretakers" Irina and Shabena, have broken free of the farm's constraints and expanded their reproductive range throughout Ye Yang's entire inner world!

However, Ye Yang ignored them, which caused them to accelerate the flow of time in Ye Yang's inner world by tens of thousands of times!

However, this did not affect Ye Yang, because Ye Yang's original core and inner world were too powerful, and his own life gene level was extremely high, and his basic power level was extremely high. Those Silverwings at the World Lord level were too weak.

Even if the power of countless beings were combined, it would be difficult to affect Ye Yang.

Ye Yang's first Golden Horn clone can still only enjoy 10 times the time acceleration.

If he could still accelerate Ye Yang ten thousand times over at this moment, then the "Divine Speed ​​Garment" wouldn't be gathering dust in the warehouse.

After 3500 years of secluded cultivation, the first Golden Horn clone has spent 35,000 years in the inner world!

It took more than 30,000 years of accumulation to achieve what we have today.

"The secret techniques I created before, when applied to the second-tier system, were only compatible; after simple modifications, they could have some power enhancement. But ultimately, they couldn't fully unleash the power of the second-tier Serpent Scale system's laws. It seems I still need to create new secret techniques—"

Instead of feeling frustrated that his previous achievements had become outdated, Ye Yang was eager to try again.

Because his understanding of the laws had greatly improved, and his upper limit of strength had also increased significantly, he had countless novel ideas for creating secret techniques that he wanted to try.

"I wonder what level of strength I will reach after I use the second-tier serpent scale system to create a sufficiently perfect secret technique ground?"

The limit of being crowned a king? Or—a venerable one?

There was ambition and expectation in Ye Yang's eyes.

Amid this anticipation, he continued his seclusion, a period devoid of time or days.

3600 years, 3800 years, 4000 years... 4300 years!

4300 years after Ye Yang began to recognize the Star Tower as his master, he finally achieved his wish. After 3000 years of exploration, 3000 years of shaping, and finally 2000 years of ultimate refinement, he finally exhausted all his efforts to create an even more powerful secret technique!

It is also Ye Yang's third and most powerful technique, the Soaring Dragon.

The previous two moves, Shaking the Sea and Starflow, were both attacks that specialized in the spiritual realm.

Soul illusion and consciousness magic, a double blow.

The other is a combination of physical attacks and soul illusion techniques, a secret technique of the Illusion Warrior style, which is most suitable for Ye Yang's first-generation Golden Horned Beast clone to use.

In terms of actual effectiveness, the two are roughly at the same level, only their focuses are different.

However, in Ye Yang's view, this third move, "Swimming Dragon," has reached a completely new level—in terms of the ingenuity of the secret technique, it is not much better than the first two moves, after all, Ye Yang's level of creating secret techniques is what it is.

Even after thousands of years of meticulous refinement, it is difficult to achieve a significant leap forward.

The power and perfection of "Wandering Dragon" are entirely due to the second-tier snake scale system!

"It's a pity that I can still go out and freely use 'Dragon Soaring' in battle—otherwise, I really want to challenge some of those invincible kings and see if I am stronger now, or if they are more skilled."

Ye Yang sighed softly.

"The Star Tower has recognized me as its master. After the last transformation, my limits have been greatly enhanced. I just don't know if I can overcome that final hurdle."

Ye Yang took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and continued to immerse himself in cultivation.
