In the mountains, no days or months passed; in the world, a thousand years had already gone by.
The saying was somewhat exaggerated, but for Luo Chen, two years had passed without him even noticing as he devoted himself to researching the Abyssal Inferno at Peng Lake.
Over those two years, he had improved every moment.
Not only had he developed the killing move [Abyssal Inferno], he had gained much else besides.
Progress in formations, the refinement of his Natal Magic Treasure, the Primal Chaos Cauldron, and so on.
Perhaps the only thing that had been held back was his cultivation speed!
Expending too much Mana to deploy the domain had ultimately delayed some of his cultivation progress. His original estimate of advancing to Golden Core Seventh Layer in a decade or so would likely be greatly postponed. He did not know whether he could break through before heading to the Sunken Sea.
Luo Chen did not force the issue. In his view, unless one broke through an entire major realm and underwent an essential transformation, advancement through minor realms would not bring about an earth-shaking difference.
In battles between cultivators of the same rank, Magic Treasures, secret arts, and all manner of external aids were the decisive killing moves.
And the [Abyssal Inferno] he was currently researching was clearly a killing move that could decide life and death!
To fully master this move, Luo Chen had to test it in actual combat and understand its strengths and weaknesses, lest unforeseen circumstances arise in a true fight to the death.
When Luo Chen arrived at the Demon Hunter Division and saw its bustling, thriving scene, he realized that it was not only he who had changed, but also this Cultivation World that seemed unchanged for ten thousand years.
