"This time, it was actually a Gold Talent!" Lu Ming could feel a strange coolness flowing into his body just now.

Streams of golden radiance directly entered his Origin Core, seeping into his soul, which had already crystallized. Under the infusion of that golden radiance, his soul rapidly underwent a transformation. The entire soul changed from its previous silver color and became suffused with a noble golden glow.

The higher the quality of a talent, the more heaven-defying its effects.

Simply fusing with this Gold Talent had already brought a wondrous transformation to his soul at its very foundation. His mind was now clearer than ever. When he considered many difficult problems that had once baffled him, he could easily arrive at the answers.

"A new talent, Limitless Spear Heart?" Once all the golden radiance had completely merged into Lu Ming's soul, his consciousness swiftly understood the basic information about this new talent.

Limitless Spear Heart (Gold): You have awakened a Limitless Spear Heart. Your future... has no end!

The description seemed extremely simple, but its effects were utterly domineering.

Simply put, this was a growth-type super talent.

After awakening the Limitless Spear Heart, his future efficiency in learning and comprehending spear techniques would receive an epic enhancement! Furthermore, no matter what ultimate spear art he cultivated, he could fine-tune its effects in subtle ways, tailoring it to himself and turning it into an ability better suited to his own combat style.

According to the talent's description, it could basically be understood as granting him a unique comprehension of the spear path. Any spear-type secret art could be integrated into his own spear philosophy, allowing him to master it completely, adapt to any situation, and ultimately turn every move into his own.

The truly most heaven-defying aspect of the Limitless Spear Heart talent was that... it would grow in tandem with his increasing strength, allowing him to "enter the Dao through the spear," shatter bottleneck after bottleneck, and break through without end!

Generally speaking, the stronger an expert became, the harder it was to overcome their bottlenecks. Thus, even peerless geniuses needed to undergo countless trials between life and death before they could truly grow.

But Lu Ming, who possessed the Limitless Spear Heart, was different. He no longer had bottlenecks in the true sense.

As long as he kept studying secret arts of the spear path at every level and met a certain standard, his strength could steadily rise while granting him formidable combat power. Once he stepped into a new rank, he only needed to repeat the cycle again.

Limitless Spear Heart... his strength would be limitless too!

"Strong!"

"Invincible!"

At this moment, Lu Ming was completely stunned by the effects of this heaven-defying Limitless Spear Heart talent.

Compared to this heaven-defying talent, what was a mere Blazing Void Beast?

"Universe Master, True God? My ambitions are too small..." With this supreme talent, becoming a God King is only a matter of time, and even becoming a Lord is merely...

Ahem, I seem to be getting a little carried away.

"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile. I'm still only a tiny Universe level being. I have to develop steadily and can't get reckless." Only after taking several deep breaths did Lu Ming slowly calm his turbulent emotions.

Back to the point, the Limitless Spear Heart talent truly could be called incomparably heaven-defying. But that did not mean Lu Ming no longer needed to work hard after acquiring it.

First, if he wanted to unleash the effects of the Limitless Spear Heart, he had to study a vast number of manuals related to spear techniques. Only after laying an incomparably solid foundation in the spear path could he accumulate enough to achieve a breakthrough.

Moreover, while this method could allow him to break through time and again, his rate of improvement would certainly not be as fast as what came from trials of life and death.

Second, the Limitless Spear Heart was a growth-type talent. The further it developed, the more incredible it would become...

At his current stage, its most obvious effects were merely allowing him to learn spear techniques faster and easily improve spear-type secret arts created by others, making them one hundred percent compatible with himself.

Well, that still sounded pretty amazing.

"To enter the Dao through the spear... the spear carries the Dao, but the foundation of every spear technique still cannot be separated from laws." No matter how formidable a spear technique was, it ultimately had to be based on laws.

Therefore, even with the Limitless Spear Heart, he still could not slack off in his comprehension of the Time Origin Law and the Path of the Beast God.

"Come to think of it, Great Axe Founder of our Human Race seems to be devoted to the axe, entering the Dao through the axe. That has a similar effect to my talent... But unfortunately, his talent in the axe path ultimately has a limit. As for me... I have no limits!"

After reining in his excitement, Lu Ming began studying the contents of the second volume of Cosmic Overview once more.

He was still the same person, yet it was as though his senses had suddenly sharpened and his mind had become crystal clear. Secret arts he had once been uncertain about, or had not even understood at all, now revealed their mysteries to him at a glance. He could even draw inferences from one example to another.

"The secret art on page eighty-nine is actually a spear technique too. When this spear is thrust, it should combine all the profound mysteries within the Double Lotus Diagram. That is why it can directly affect the surrounding time, slowing the flow of time around the enemy to an extreme degree while his own spear receives Time Acceleration... As one side weakens and the other strengthens, the enemy would be struck in a vital spot before they even had a chance to react!"

"The secret art on page ninety-five is also a spear technique. This thrust charges forward without hesitation, with no thought of survival. It has only one characteristic: speed!"

"Page one hundred and seven, the spear of Time Stasis. Once the spear is unleashed, it completely freezes the surrounding time. The enemy cannot move at all and can only await death!"

One secret art after another, which Lu Ming had previously found as incomprehensible as flowers seen through fog, was now easily mastered by him.

Moreover, as he mastered more and more profound spear techniques, he could continuously reverse-engineer the Time Origin Law profound mysteries originally contained within those spear techniques!

It sounded downright astonishing!

I haven't grasped that many Time Law essences, yet I can still master those spear techniques and use them in battle. Then, after learning those spear techniques, I can slowly analyze them myself and reverse-engineer the Law Profundity hidden within them step by step.

After reverse-engineering the Law Profundity, the number of spear techniques I can understand and learn will naturally increase... Then I can continue analyzing and reverse-engineering them... an endless cycle!

What did it mean for the Dao to have no end? This was it!

Of course, it sounded exaggerated. In reality, the process of improvement was not that fast. At its core, this was a cultivation process of drawing parallels and achieving a breakthrough after long accumulation, so it still required time to settle.

And this seemingly unreasonable method of advancement was not without precedent.

For example, the Beast God Conception!

The Beast God Conception itself was not a law. Yet as long as one comprehended a corresponding portion of its conception, it could naturally and rapidly drive the fusion of the two great Origin Laws.

Lu Ming's study of spear-type secret arts was the same.

With spear conception naturally one level higher than his own law comprehension, he would naturally learn any spear technique quickly and wield it powerfully. At the same time, it could in turn promote progress in his comprehension of laws.

As time passed, Lu Ming mastered more and more spear-type secret arts from Cosmic Overview, and his understanding of the second diagram of the Cosmic Extreme Chaos Tablet, the Double Lotus Diagram, deepened further and further.

The twenty-seven deeper layers of Time Law profound mysteries contained within it were naturally deciphered by him one after another.

It was not until the end of the three years and six months that Lu Ming reluctantly put down Cosmic Overview and the Huo Suo Codex.

Today was the day his first clone, the Blazing Void Beast, would successfully be nurtured.
