Yang Yu then stood up and leaped into the air, flying towards the next gathering point of Fierce Beast.

One hour later.

Yang Yu, having flown to near the edge of the World within a World, looked down at the desert below.

A Fierce Beast resembling a scorpion lives here, but this group is stronger than any of the Fierce Beast groups Yang Yu had hunted before.

Because the Optical Brain scan revealed that the Fierce Beast leader below was at the Universe Level 1!

It can grow to over two thousand meters long, and its tail spike is shaped like a giant scimitar.

That tail spike alone is bigger than Yang Yu himself!

However, big doesn't necessarily mean strong.

For these Fierce Beasts that only know how to use brute force, the threat is far less than that of human Universe Level powerhouses who can use Secret Technique and weapons.

It sped across the desert sky.

Yang Yu controlled the Spiritual Blade Diagram and charged towards the giant scorpion Fierce Beast leader.

The giant scorpion leader, who reigns supreme over this desert, hasn't encountered a creature that dares to provoke it in a long time.

Seeing Yang Yu rushing over, it excitedly Tail whip, ready to play a good trick on this audacious 'little guy' in front of it.

But Yang Yu had no intention of playing along. He unleashed the Thunder Blade Diagram to its fullest extent, tracing a mysterious and unpredictable path as it slashed towards the giant scorpion Fierce Beast's head.

At first, Yang Yu's burst of speed wasn't fast, which made the giant scorpion a little careless. However, when Yang Yu unleashed the Thunder Blade Diagram, the giant scorpion clearly felt threatened.

Just as the Thunder Blade Diagram transformed into lightning and struck it, it finally thought of unleashing its full power to defend itself.

But it was too late!

The already incredibly fast-moving Thunder Blade Diagram accelerated even further in mid-air!

Yang Yu's powerful will and Law Comprehension were clearly revealed at this moment.

Before the giant scorpion leader, Universe Level 1 creature, could even swing its tail stinger halfway, the Thunder Blade Diagram pierced through its skull.

With just a few strikes, the giant Blade Diagram sliced the giant scorpion leader's head to shreds.

As the giant scorpion leader died, a bright, earth-yellow True Spirit rose from its head.

The True Spirit of Universe Level Fierce Beast!

Upon seeing this, Yang Yu swept his Mental Force around, and the True Spirit was absorbed into the Consciousness Sea of Zhu Liuyin's Zhuliuyin Clone within his body.

The Soul Devour Secret Technique is activated.

In an instant, this high-quality True Spirit was refined and absorbed.

"Mmm, delicious~"

Zhuliuyin Clone tasted the True Spirit, his eyes narrowed with happiness.

The True Spirit Essence of Universe Level Fierce Beast is far more delicious than that of Star Level!

Not only is one of them comparable to one hundred of the Star Level 9.

Most importantly, the 'taste' is completely different.

If the True Spirit of Star Level 9 Fierce Beast is like a common dish.

The True Spirit of that Universe Level 1 Fierce Beast is the signature dish of a five-star restaurant!

"Hmm"

After fully absorbing the True Spirit of the giant scorpion leader, Zhuliuyin Clone burped, now not far from being completely full.

Having tasted the sweetness of hunting Universe Level Fierce Beast, Yang Yu casually hunted down some ordinary Desert Giant Scorpion that attacked him.

He then got up, changed direction, and flew towards the Universe Level Fierce Beast mentioned in the previous intelligence records.

The Shilan World within a World is still a bit small.

Previously, the Machine Race Spaceship explored the entire World within a World and discovered only five or six Universe Level Fierce Beast, and each of them was very far away.

The location of the next Universe Level Fierce Beast was quite far away, and it took Yang Yu almost half a day to fly there.

This is a Water Domain.

Below lived Fierce Beast fish-like beasts, resembling Tuna on Earth. However, these Fierce Beast fish-like beasts were generally about a thousand meters long, with thick golden scales covering their bodies and a long, sharp horn at the front of their heads, shimmering with a cold metallic luster.

They look like they're not to be trifled with.

"Tuna Beast, interesting." Yang Yu smiled, then began searching for the location of the leader of these Tuna Beast below.

A powerful Mental Force swept across the area below.

Yang Yu's Human Original Body Mental Force spreads over a range of several thousand meters, while the Mental Force spread of Zhuliuyin Clone within his body is an astonishing range of hundreds of thousands of meters!

In just a few breaths, Yang Yu found the leader of the Tuna Beast hiding deep at the bottom of the lake.

Yang Yu then unleashed his Thunder Domain, manipulating the Thunder Blade Diagram, and charged straight towards the bottom of the lake below.

"Bang!"

It looked as if a cannonball had pierced the surface of the lake.

Yang Yu suddenly leaped into the lake.

Such a commotion naturally alerted the Tuna Beast leader below.

The leader was furious when he sensed that Yang Yu's aura was only at the Star Level.

I felt that my dignity had been seriously challenged.

"Whoosh!"

The Tuna Beast leader, which was over three thousand meters long, suddenly burst into extreme speed, tearing the wide lake surface into waves as it charged towards Yang Yu.

"Universe Level 2, not bad." After detecting the opponent's detailed strength, Yang Yu smiled. Then, his Thunder Domain expanded the surrounding Water Domain, forming a spherical domain space with a radius of more than 1,000 meters.

In this space, Yang Yu's speed can be even faster!

"Whoosh!"

The leader of the Universe Level 2 Tuna Beast was incredibly fast, covering tens of thousands of meters in less than a second to arrive in front of Yang Yu.

It seemed that he could tear Yang Yu apart with his sharp horn in the next instant.

However, once the Tuna Beast leader entered the Thunder Domain, its speed decreased sharply, to less than one percent of its peak speed.

The Tuna Beast leader, suddenly slowed to such a state, was unaware of what was happening when a massive Blade Diagram of Thunder slashed down towards its head!

"Laugh!"

The sound of a sharp instrument cutting through bone could be heard.

The Tuna Beast leader's head shattered in two!

Although the conditions for activating the Thunder Blade Second Form are demanding, its attack power is indeed remarkable.

Even the leader of the Universe Level 2 Tuna Beast, with its strongest skull defense, was powerless to resist Yang Yu's attack.

Sensing the azure-blue True Spirit drifting out, Yang Yu used his Mental Force to sweep it into the Consciousness Sea of Zhuliuyin Clone.

Then came the familiar process: the True Spirit of the Tuna Beast leader was refined and absorbed.

"Mmm, this is delicious!"

Yang Yu's Zhuliuyin Clone once again closed its eyes in comfort.

"Unfortunately, the other few Universe Level Fierce Beast are located in too remote areas, and Zhuliuyin Clone is also nearing its limit."

Yang Yu shook his head, then continued to control the Thunder Blade Diagram to hunt down the Tuna Beast had reached the Star Level 9 in this Water Domain.

Half an hour later.

After hunting down thousands more Tuna Beast that had reached the Star Level 9, Zhuliuyin Clone's soul was pushed to its absolute limit.

His comprehension also improved slightly once again.

Seeing the Fierce Beast corpses floating in the Water Domain below, Yang Yu didn't pay them any more attention and turned around to head towards the central Core Region.

After nearly three days away, we've achieved our goal and it's time to head back.

Meanwhile, inside Yang Yu's body...

In a special space created by Soul-Splitting Possession Secret Technique.

Yang Yu's Zhuliuyin Clone is waiting here.

At this moment, Zhuliuyin Clone was actually Yang Yu himself, and his eyes were filled with endless joy.

With his soul strength increased more than tenfold and his comprehension greatly enhanced, Zhuliuyin Clone is now not only more efficient at comprehending the Time Law, but also much clearer in his understanding, as if he were 'reading' the vast Time Law right before his eyes!

In just the short time it took to fly to the Core Region, Yang Yu felt that he had made more progress in the Time Law than in the previous few days!

This is the astonishing speed of cultivation that comes from a powerful soul combined with enhanced comprehension.

Moreover, this was the speed at which Yang Yu was trying his best to analyze the Time Law Essence.

If Yang Yu had only blindly pursued understanding as much of the Time Law as possible without exploring the Law Essence, his cultivation speed could have been even faster!

However, such speed only seems fast in the short term. In the later stages of cultivation, it is far less fast and solid than analyzing the Law Essence.

However, what still troubles Yang Yu is that he doesn't know how many kinds of the Time Law exist, or what these kinds of things are.

Yang Yu could only try to comprehend the essence of "speed" in the Time Law by relying on the "speed" nature of the Lightning Origin Law.

So far, the progress seems to be going well, and the Time Law, as expected of High-level Law to the Lightning Law, is indeed more vast and much more difficult to analyze.

If Yang Yu hadn't had the Zhuliuyin Clone, relying solely on his Earthling Main Body to analyze the situation would have been a thousand times slower, and he would have encountered bottlenecks from time to time.

But now that Yang Yu has the Zhuliuyin Clone, he can have the Clone focus on comprehending and analyzing the Time Law Essence, while the Original Body continues to comprehend the Lightning Origin Law.

Since they all share the same soul and the same consciousness, the insights gained are universal, whether it's the Original Body or Clone.

However, limited by the human body, the Original Body's combat power is not as strong as that of Zhuliuyin Clone.

Return to the central area.

Babata was already finishing up the work. "Yang Yu, you're back just in time. I'm almost done mining Universe Crystal here."

Babata's little face was beaming with joy.

In just a few days, he has unearthed more than 50 million cubic meters of Universe Crystal!

They dug out almost all the Universe Crystal from the Core Region.

As for the Universe Crystal in other places, they don't even amount to one-tenth of what's here, so Babata rarely wastes time mining them.

"More than 50 million cubic meters, that's more than 50 billion Universe Coin!" Yang Yu was delighted to hear this. With so many Universe Coin, one could do a lot of things in the Ganwu Universe Country.

However, when converted to Hunyuan units, it's only 0.05 Hunyuan Unit.

This also shows that the truly valuable items in the universe are treasures such as the Life Fruit, Fifth-Order Force Weapon, and E9 Grade Laser Gun.

After all, a single Life Fruit is worth 2 Hunyuan in the outside world!

A Tier 5 Force Weapon is worth roughly between 0.1 and 1 Hunyuan.

Each of these is far more valuable than the excavated Universe Crystal.

However, Babata thoroughly enjoyed the mining experience.

Speaking of money, there are millions of Hu Yanbo's accounts with Hunyuan in them!

Yang Yu's gains were just a small fraction of what he had.

The only thing that really excited Babata was the Special Life he had captured.

However, this was an opportunity for Yang Yu, Babata did not intend to take it.

"Here's half of the Universe Crystal. Keep it." Babata took out a Space Ring containing over twenty million cubic meters of Universe Crystal.

"These Universe Crystal can not only be exchanged for Universe Coin at any time, but they are also excellent energy reserves with a wide range of uses."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Yang Yu accepted the Universe Crystal.

"Don't mention it. All these gains are thanks to your discovery of this World within a World; otherwise, we would have nothing." Babata seemed very open-minded.

During the time he followed Hu Yanbo, he saw countless treasures and riches.

After storing the palace in the World Ring, Yang Yu and Babata boarded the Black Dragon Spaceship, started it up, and flew towards the exit.

Now that almost all the treasures in this World within a World a realm have been looted, there's no point in leaving them behind.

A few minutes later, Yang Yu, who had flown to the area below the exit, put away his spaceship and leaped into the exit space, which was shimmering with seven-colored Liuguang.

With a dizzying sensation, Yang Yu reappeared back in the original Shilan World.

The familiar sensation of falling through the air alerted Yang Yu, who quickly regained his footing upon waking. Looking around and comparing his surroundings with the map, he discovered that he was located at the southern end of the Sunset Mountain Range in the Shilan World.

It just so happens to be the place Fengling Yue and the others are going to pass through, and judging from yesterday's conversation, it will take them another three days to get there.

Having found a cave, Yang Yu entered and used his Spiritual Weapon to expand the cave several times over. He placed the branches of the Moyun Vine around the cave, and with the addition of Babata's detectors, it would provide sufficient surveillance.

Finally Shilan Palace and entered it to begin her secluded cultivation.

Three days is not a long time, but it shouldn't be wasted, especially since comprehending the laws in the Shilan World will be much clearer.

That would be an even bigger waste of time.

In the vast Law Ocean.

Yang Yu's Original Body was fully focused on comprehending the other essential aspects of the Lightning Law, while Zhuliuyin Clone's clone continued to comprehend the Time Law as always.

Although the Human Original Body's current soul strength and speed of Law Comprehension are not as good as Zhuliuyin Clone, the corresponding Lightning Law is simpler than the Time Law, so the cultivation speed of the two is roughly equal.

In the boundless Lightning Law Ocean.

Yang Yu's Original Body consciousness wandered within it, attempting to capture the Law Essence.

Half a day has passed.

A day has passed.

Two and a half days later...

Yang Yu's consciousness finally caught a glimpse of an unfamiliar fluctuation in the vast Lightning Law Ocean!

Suppressing his excitement, Yang Yu focused his attention on probing the fluctuations.

After carefully studying it for half a day, Yang Yu realized what the Law Essence he had captured this time!

That's another major direction of the Lightning Origin Law.

Yang Yu named it: 'Judgment Profundity!'

As the most violent and direct Origin Law of attack, Leidian also symbolizes 'Judgment Profundity' and 'Judgment Mystery' in many mythologies.

This time, Yang Yu spent two and a half days trying to grasp this essence!

Having fully confirmed the Law Essence he had comprehended, Yang Yu's Original Body consciousness withdrew from the Law Ocean.

By this time, it was almost the third day, and Yang Yu had finished his secluded cultivation.

Opening his eyes, Yang Yu couldn't hide his joy. "I've discovered another essence of the Lightning Law, and it's the essence of specialized attack!"

Having only roughly grasped the essence of 'Judgment Profundity', Yang Yu discovered that this Law Essence was particularly adept at attack.

Furthermore, they are extremely skilled in both Material Attack and Soul Attack!

Using the essence of 'Judgment Profundity' with Mental Force results in Soul Attack, while using it with the Origin Force results in Material Attack.
