Chapter 332 The Difference Between Real Combat and the Virtual Universe! Zhou Ze's Helplessness

Misty Island.

After Zhou Ze created his own secret technique, he returned to the ground and flew at a leisurely pace.

In simple terms, secret techniques are the application of laws that one has come to understand. Immortals at the level of Realm Lord and above will almost always choose to combine a superior law with a subordinate law to create their own secret techniques, or simply study the application of the laws of time or space!

There are almost no people like Zhou Ze who can create their own secret techniques by combining the four laws. Even if there are, it's usually in the early stages, but they often quickly come to terms with reality.

The secret method mainly involves the application of laws, and the application of laws becomes more complex the deeper one goes compared to simply comprehending them.

The levels of secret techniques can be simply divided into five levels: unorthodox, ordinary, top-level, peak, and ultimate.

The secret techniques created by ordinary realm lords and common immortal gods are merely "unorthodox".

Many secret techniques created by those who have been granted titles of nobility and immortality, as well as some geniuses who have become realm lords, fall into the category of "ordinary".

Top-tier secret techniques can only be created by peerless geniuses like realm lords and immortal kings.

As for ultimate techniques, they can only be created by peerless geniuses at the "Kordi" level, as well as invincible kings and most cosmic venerables.

As for the ultimate secret laws, they are basically at the level of cosmic overlords and cosmic masters.

Of course, these beings almost all study and apply one or two laws. The stronger they are, the deeper their research goes, and the higher the level of their secret techniques become.

Secret techniques created by Zhou Ze by directly combining the four laws are almost non-existent in the entire universe, at least not before the strongest beings in the universe.

The more types of laws one combines, the more exponentially the demands on the cultivator increase, and the more effort is wasted. It's far better to study and apply one or two laws.

It can be seen from Zhou Ze's thousands of years of research that, with his comprehension and speed of understanding, he can only barely grasp the basics, even though the power is close to that of a top-tier ultimate technique.

To go further and reach the level of ordinary, or even top-level or peak, in the application of the laws, the difficulty is absolutely beyond imagination. Even a genius who appears once every tens of millions of epochs might not be able to do it even after spending hundreds of millions of years, which gives you an idea of ​​how difficult it is.

Difficult as it may be, Zhou Ze is absolutely determined to follow the path he has chosen. For others, this is an impossible task, but as long as his cheat system continues to upgrade and his comprehension continues to improve, as long as this path is feasible, he is confident that he can do it.

After all, in the later stages, it's not just about combining, but also about merging. If you don't even have confidence in combining, how can you talk about the rules of fusion!

"Don't run!"

Zhou Ze encountered another Marquis and pursued him relentlessly. However, the Marquis from another race immediately began to flee upon seeing Zhou Ze. Zhou Ze chased after him but could not catch up. In the end, he could only watch helplessly as the Marquis escaped using the fog.

This happened several times in a row, and even when he encountered some military lords or immortals, he couldn't find a good solution, which frustrated Zhou Ze greatly.

"Babata, I'm a barely-achieved King-level Immortal, but how come I can't even catch an ordinary Immortal!" Zhou Ze was extremely frustrated.

"Haha." Babata projected out, clutching his belly and laughing, "Isn't this normal?"

"Immortals aren't so easy to kill!"

"Especially in Misty Island, haha—"

"The moment others see your title of Immortal King, they flee from afar."

Zhou Ze said dejectedly, "Could it be that I didn't conceal my aura enough, and they noticed me?"

Babata said, "No, it's completely different on Misty Island!"

"Think about how battles have occurred in other places?"

Zhou Ze quickly replied, "Generally, it's through detection equipment. Whoever has the more advanced equipment can detect whom, then launch a charged attack from a distance, and then the battle begins—"

Babata said seriously, "That's right! In other places, it's basically all about detection equipment. Whoever has the more advanced detection equipment holds the initiative in the battle!"

"With more advanced detection equipment, you can detect others first and even block their detection, thus gaining the upper hand. Since others can't detect you, you can unleash a charged attack that stuns them, allowing you to launch a surprise attack."

"On Misty Island, everyone's detection instruments are greatly weakened. As soon as the detection instruments detect someone, that person can see you with their naked eye. Once they realize something is wrong and the difference is too great, they will naturally run away immediately."

"But once you reach immortality, most people's burst speed is not far from the speed of light. They simply start to flee, and it becomes very difficult for you to catch up, even if you can burst at the speed of light!"

"After all, once you reach or exceed the speed of light, you will enter the dark universe—"

Upon hearing Babata's analysis, Zhou Ze felt a headache coming on and couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder the Virtual Universe Company requires its core members to undergo life-or-death trials in the cosmic battlefield or cosmic secret realms before they can reach the level of World Lord."

"Real combat is completely different from virtual combat."

Babata casually replied, "It's nothing, just a small matter. It's just that you have too little experience, or rather, none at all. You'll get used to it."

"In the battlefield outside the territory, this is just the most basic common sense. It's normal that you don't know it since you're new here."

Zhou Ze nodded: "So, if I want to capture the alien race, I have to lie in wait and launch a sneak attack?"

"That's right." Babata spread his hands. "Isn't it the same everywhere else?"

Zhou Ze said speechlessly, "This rule that accelerates to the speed of light and enters the dark universe has protected countless cultivators!"

"This gives even ordinary immortals a slight chance of survival when facing a king-level immortal, right?"

Babata quickly said, "That's right, so controlling and limiting speed is very important. You know, even if you accidentally knock someone away and make them fly faster than the speed of light, they will still enter the dark universe. Once they enter the dark universe, it will be almost impossible to catch up with them."

"After all, once the other party stops and returns to their original universe, even if you're only a meter away from them, that's still 1008.1."

10,000 meters, 10081 kilometers—

"As long as the opponent repeatedly enters the dark universe, they can quickly shake you off. That's why it's said that the extraterrestrial battlefield is safe as long as it's in the dark universe."

Zhou Ze thought for a moment and said, "The detection instruments on Misty Island are almost malfunctioning. It's not a good place to crouch down in this area that's much bigger than the sun."

Babata laughed and said, "So the strong people who come here usually don't have much of a killing intent; they all use the help of the alien races to hone their combat skills."

"If you want to kill the enemy, you can leave here and go to other places. Your detection equipment is standard equipment for a king, so capturing some alien races will be quite easy."

Zhou Ze nodded: "Then let's do it this way. Misty Island has diminished my advantage. Let's go to the nearby Continent 04. Once my secret technique reaches its peak power and I've adapted to the extraterrestrial battlefield for a while, I'll head to the Flame Sacrifice Continent!"

Just as Zhou Ze was about to leave, he heard a cry for help in his mind:

"Help! Help! We've encountered a demon immortal, possessing the strength of a mid-level Marquis!"
