Life Gene Level
Time flows on and on, and in the blink of an eye, another thousand years have passed.
Virtual Universe, Yuxiang Mountain.
In the Primal Region, within Yang Wu Manor, in a vast training ground.
Originally, the training grounds of each Primal Secret Realm Master were all the same size. However, since Yang Wu's status in the Virtual Universe Company rose, his authority also increased accordingly. His training ground had long since become like an extremely expensive killing field, with an infinitely vast internal space, and he could even simulate the environment according to his own wishes.
A vast expanse of starry sky.
Yang Wu hovered silently in the void, holding an extremely ordinary crimson spear in his hand. Although the spear was made of extremely hard material, it had no special effects whatsoever.
"Buzz..."
A blurry shadow suddenly appeared in the cosmos, and then gradually solidified into a physical form.
This was a towering figure, tens of kilometers high, composed entirely of black rock. He held a blood-red spear fifty kilometers long in his hand, his body ablaze with incredibly dense purplish-black flames, his eyes filled with savagery and madness, and his powerful aura emanated from him, making him seem like a fire king.
Yang Wu stood before him as if he were an ant facing an elephant.
Roar!
The black Rock Giant roared, and its blood-red spear thrust towards Yang Wu with lightning speed.
Although the opponent was extremely tall, his Movement Technique was incredibly agile. In the blink of an eye, the blood-red spear appeared in front of Yang Wu.
Call out!
Yang Wu stepped into the void, leaving a winding, lingering afterimage in the air.
Yang Wu himself had already appeared behind the black Rock Giant.
Rumble!
As space trembled, countless spear lights erupted from the crimson spear in Yang Wu's hand.
The countless spear beams converged, and countless threads of Law intertwined in the void, faintly forming the Beast Phantom.
The Beast Phantom kept changing, switching between several Beast God Phantom.
"Roar!!"
With a deafening roar, the Beast Phantom vanished in a flash, directly striking the core of the black rock life form behind it.
Call!
The black rock creature suddenly turned around, and incredibly hot flames erupted from its body.
The endless flames converged and formed a fiery shield in mid-air.
"Boom!"
The Beast Phantom, radiating boundless power, collided violently with the fiery shield. In the end, the Beast Phantom prevailed, shattering the fiery shield and slamming into the black rock creature.
Unfortunately, after shattering the fiery shield, the power of the powerful Beast Phantom was greatly reduced, and it failed to inflict fatal damage on the black Rock Giant.
"Roar!"
In pain, the black rock creature let out an extremely angry roar, and then its entire body emitted an incomparably dazzling red light, like the final explosion of a star about to be annihilated, brilliant and explosive.
Endless red light converged and appeared in front of Yang Wu as if by Teleportation, instantly passing over Yang Wu's body.
Yang Wu immediately exploded and was annihilated.
As space shifted, the black Rock Giant vanished instantly, while Yang Wu, who had previously appeared dead, reappeared in the void.
"Failed again!" Yang Wu stood in the endless starry sky, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
This was the 1903rd opponent set up for him by the Lord of Longxing while he was studying the third move of the "God Slayer" spear technique.
In reality, he is protected by numerous Supreme Treasure, so even if the black Rock Giant were hundreds or thousands of times stronger, it would not be his match.
However, he is currently in this Virtual Universe without many treasures to his side. The only thing he can rely on to defeat his opponent is to create even more powerful secret techniques.
Unfortunately, the creation of Ultimate Secret Technique became increasingly difficult as time went on.
Among them, the first spear technique, "Pojun," is quite simple. With Yang Wu's Law Comprehension, which has reached the twentieth level of the Heavenly Bridge, and with the assistance of the Time Simulator, he had already created it before going to the Ancestral God Religion.
The second spear technique, 'Tanlang,' was much more difficult to create. Even with the help of the Time Simulator and the Time Palace, Yang Wu had to go through dozens of simulations at the World Lord Level before he could create it with great difficulty.
As for the third Ultimate Spear Art, creating it successfully would be extremely difficult!
"A thousand years have passed in the Primal Universe! As for the Time Palace, a hundred thousand years have already passed!"
"I've already gone through over a hundred simulations at the World Lord Level!" Yang Wu thought helplessly.
Even in the most recent simulation, spanning over 70,000 years, he didn't defeat a single new opponent!
Keep in mind that although he has already defeated 1,902 opponents, it will only get more difficult as he goes on!
If it takes him over 100,000 years just to defeat the 1903rd opponent, then the time required for the rest will likely be even longer!
"Yang Wu!"
Just then, a majestic figure flew in from afar; it was none other than the Lord of Longxing.
"Teacher!" Yang Wu quickly greeted him respectfully.
"For the past thousand years, you have been staying in that Time Palace, comprehending your Self-Created Secret Technique at a hundred times the speed of time flow!"
The Lord of Longxing looked puzzled. "But Wei He you insist on staying in the Time Palace to cultivate? If you want to create the Ultimate Secret Technique to break through the shackles and achieve Immortal, honing yourself in battle is the best way!"
In the eyes of the Lord of Longxing, Yang Wu's use of the Time Palace for cultivation was a complete waste of resources.
Although Yang Wu was cultivating within the Time Palace, his Yan God Race Clone was also honing his skills on the Outer-Region Battlefield. But what significant effect could a hundredfold difference in the flow of time possibly have?
"With your talent and comprehension, if you had honed your skills in the Primal Universe for a hundred thousand years, you would probably have broken through the shackles and achieved Immortal long ago!" The Lord of Longxing advised, "However, your cultivation time in the Time Palace is only one percent of the total cultivation time, so your comprehension speed will naturally be much slower."
"Furthermore, your lifespan will be calculated based on the time spent within the Time Palace. Aren't you afraid that by the time your lifespan ends, you will still be unable to break through the shackles of the Origin Core and achieve Immortal?" the Lord of Longxing asked with considerable concern.
Although it's unlikely that Yang Wu would encounter such a situation given his talent, the Lord of Longxing is, after all, one of the oldest Universe Master among the Human Race, and has encountered some such examples before.
"Master, I understand!" Yang Wu replied respectfully.
However, Yang Wu had no intention of stopping the operation of the Time Palace.
Only family members know their own affairs.
Although he spent very little time honing his skills in reality, only one percent of the time he spent cultivating himself.
In the simulation, his training time was a hundred times longer than his actual training time!
Moreover, in hundreds of simulations, Yang Wu repeatedly chose personality traits such as adventurousness and bravery.
Of these, only one simulation was particularly unlucky, as all of his Clone Soul Annihilation of a powerful Monster Race. In all other simulations, he survived until the end of the simulation.
Based on past experience, an adventurous personality is more conducive to becoming stronger!
To this day, Yang Wu has experienced more than ten million years in the simulation. If this were real time, he would have long since reached the lifespan limit of World Lord Level.
The reason he hasn't been able to break through after so long is entirely due to the limitations of his own comprehension!
It should be noted that although Yang Wu's comprehension was further enhanced by the Time Simulator after breaking through to the World Lord Level, he was only comparable to the Seven Swords King of that era in the Giant Axe Fighting Arena.
In previous training, thanks to the combined benefits of the Time Palace and the Time Simulator, such talent was naturally sufficient.
After all, the Seven Swords King had only cultivated for a little over 100,000 years to reach their current level.
Yang Wu, on the other hand, was even more qualified, so it was only natural that he was able to achieve such a reputation.
However, given the Seven Swords King's talent, creating the third Ultimate Secret Technique within tens of millions of years is simply not enough!
Even among unparalleled geniuses like Kedi, who emerge only once every tens of millions of epochs, only the Venerable Zushu has successfully broken through the shackles formed by the Star Bead and achieved Immortal throughout the endless ages of the Human Race!
"Creating the Ultimate Secret Technique is really this difficult?"
"Do I really have to spend thousands more years to create the third form of the Ultimate Secret Technique?" Yang Wu was indeed getting anxious.
After all, his strength has been increasing by leaps and bounds ever since he first distinguished himself among the Human Race.
However, even with the assistance of the Time Palace and the Time Simulator, his progress has been negligible over the past thousand years.
To this day, apart from the Yan God Race Clone active on the Outer-Region Battlefield and the Ting Ni Clone within the Ancestral God Religion, the once-powerful King Shenwei seems to have completely disappeared.
Everyone initially believed that he would break through to Immortal, then to the level of Universe Venerable, and even become the Universe Master at an astonishing speed.
After all, a super genius who has cultivated for hundreds of years and already possesses the strength to Limit King Level cannot be considered to have an excessively rapid growth rate.
The Monster Race, the Zerg Race, and the Machine Race all regard him as their primary threat.
But now, more than a thousand years have passed, and there has been no further news of the King Shenwei.
As a result, Alien Race such as the Monster Race, the Zerg Race, and the Machine Race are now spreading the news that the King Shenwei is cowardly and has exhausted his talent.
Even within the Human Race, some dissenting voices have emerged.
Of course, none of these people knew that he had once fused with the Star Bead.
After all, breaking free from the shackles of the Star Bead is extremely difficult; throughout the endless ages of the entire universe, only a handful of such geniuses have ever appeared.
As for the Human Race, there is only one Venerable Zushu!
"Your cultivation speed is already very fast!"
The Lord of Longxing earnestly advised, "In just over a thousand years, you have already defeated the 1902nd opponent I set up for you. Even with the acceleration of the Time Palace, this is extremely rare since the birth of the universe!"
"Go out and explore! You have your Yan God Race Clone honing its skills on the Outer-Region Battlefield, and you yourself can also travel through the universe and witness its vastness and wonder."
"The path of cultivation always requires a balance of tension and relaxation!"
"Yes, teacher!" Yang Wu replied respectfully.
"Hmm!" The Lord of Longxing nodded, and then stopped trying to persuade him.
As one of the earliest and most ancient beings to rise among Human Race, he had long witnessed the rise of numerous geniuses. Even the original Original Ancestor grew step by step under his watchful eye.
Therefore, although he had already persuaded Yang Wu, he would not interfere too much.
After the Lord of Longxing left, Yang Wu secretly considered his next plan.
"Although taking a spin in the universe is very helpful for creating Ultimate Secret Technique, Luo Feng in the original story created the third Ultimate Secret Technique in a short time using this method, and even underwent a spiritual transformation, this method is not suitable for me!" Yang Wu thought to himself.
Hundreds of simulations had given him a taste of this experience, but it had done little to help him create the Ultimate Secret Technique.
As for Yang Wu's own will, after he chose a suitable life experience, he directly broke through to the Venerable Level.
In fact, if he had followed the path of Spiritual Master, with his Venerable Level willpower, he might have actually been able to break the shackles of the Star Bead's Origin Core using the second Ultimate Secret Technique.
After all, although the Origin Core formed from the Star Bead was sturdy, it was still inferior to Luo Feng's Origin Core, which had been modified after reaching the Perfect Gene Level.
Unfortunately, Yang Wu has always focused on the path of a martial artist. Although he has some knowledge of Spiritual Master techniques, they cannot compare to those of a martial artist.
"The events that occurred in the simulation are not of much help in creating the Ultimate Secret Technique; we need to find another way!" Yang Wu secretly planned in his heart.
With hundreds of simulations under his belt, Yang Wu has already tried most of the different personality types.
It's fair to say that he tried every possible method he could think of to help create the Ultimate Secret Technique during the simulation!
"How exactly can we create the third Ultimate Secret Technique as quickly as possible?"
At this moment, Yang Wu was filled with countless thoughts, constantly recalling everything he had experienced, and even the various pieces of information he had learned from the original work.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed through Yang Wu's mind!
"Haha, I've got it! There's another way I haven't tried before!" Yang Wu was incredibly excited.
"If my Yan God Race Clone can achieve Perfect Gene, it will definitely receive a heaven-defying Innate Secret Technique bestowed by the Primal Universe! Perhaps I can use this to break through the shackles of the Origin Core!"
"Even if I can't break through the shackles and achieve Immortal through the innate Innate Secret Technique World Lord, with this Innate Secret Technique as a reference, it will definitely be much easier for me to create the third Ultimate Secret Technique!" Yang Wu thought to himself.
In the original novel, Luo Feng's ability to join the Secret Pattern Flow School was not only due to the Reincarnated God King, Mountain Sitting Guest, but also to the Innate Secret Technique bestowed upon him by the universe.
It was precisely because of the existence of the strongest Innate Secret Technique that Luo Feng was able to learn from it and use it to understand the most basic 64 Secret Pattern Diagram.
Creating the third Ultimate Secret Technique is much simpler for Yang Wu than what Luo Feng will do in the future. With the help of the strongest Innate Secret Technique, it will naturally become easier.
"In that case, let's see if the Yan God Race Clone can achieve Perfect Gene at the World Lord Level!"
Yang Wu thought to himself, "If I can truly achieve Perfect Gene, my Internal World can expand again, reaching its most perfect state!"
In fact, the Yan God Race Clone had experienced thousands of years of fighting and simulations. Yang Wu had once chosen the most suitable simulation experience and selected the reward of martial arts cultivation. Therefore, the genes of the Yan God Race Clone had already been improved several times over.
As of now, without activating the Xueluo Power, the Life Gene Level of the Yan God Race Clone has reached 512 times that of ordinary life in the universe. Once the Xueluo Power is activated, it can reach 9968 times that of ordinary life in the universe.
However, reaching Life Gene Level nearly a hundred times that of ordinary life in the universe is already the limit for the Yan God Race Clone. Because of the abundance of resources at his disposal, Yang Wu even exchanged for another treasure in the Human Race Treasury to improve the Life Gene Level, 'Red Glow Marrow'.
Unfortunately, even the 'Red Glow Marrow,' which can enhance the Life Gene of even Universe Venerable, had no effect on Yang Wu, whose Life Gene Level had already reached nearly ten thousand times.
However, Yang Wu wasn't too surprised at the time.
After all, even when Luo Feng cultivated the 'authentic' Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, it was incredibly difficult for the Earthling Main Body to elevate his Perfect Gene.
Moreover, based on the principle that the Life Gene Level the Yan God Race double, 512 times the Gene Level corresponds exactly to the Ninth Tribulation of the <Nine Tribulations Secret Manual>.
Furthermore, since Yang Wu could no longer sense the secrets of evolution within the Yan God Race Clone, it naturally indicated that the cultivation of the <Nine Tribulations Secret Manual> within the Yan God Race Clone had been completed.
Of course, according to what the Reincarnated God King Mountain Sitting Guest said in the original work, Yang Wu was well aware that the Yan God Race Clone still had great potential to be explored.
However, Yang Wu had never considered doing this now before.
After all, in Yang Wu's view, the current Yan Emperor's Life Gene Level is probably only equivalent to his own.
Although Yan Emperor's talent and comprehension were not particularly outstanding in the original work, since he was able to become the Universe Master, he was naturally equally amazing.
At the very least, he should be somewhat stronger than Yang Wu talent and comprehension are currently comparable to those of the Seven Swords King.
Yan Emperor has cultivated for countless years and still hasn't achieved Perfect Gene, so how could he possibly do it now?
Therefore, Yang Wu's plan is to reach the Immortal stage, or even the Venerable stage, and have his comprehension further enhanced by the Time Simulator before considering the breakthrough of the Yan God Race Clone.
But now, having failed to create the Ultimate Secret Technique after so long, we can only try it out as if we're being forced into it!
"In the original story, the Mountain Sitting Guest once said that Yan Emperor had gone down the wrong path, which is why his strength has not improved!"
"As long as I'm on the right path, I might be able to achieve Perfect Gene in a short time! After all, based on the pattern of previous gene breakthroughs, I think that if I achieve another breakthrough at the Gene Level, I can reach Perfect Gene!"
"After all, in the original story, Luo Feng's Earthling Main Body also reached the Perfect Gene Level after completing the Ninth Tribulation!" Yang Wu secretly guessed.
"Moreover, I achieved my breakthrough in the battle against that King Chihong. It seems that Strongest Battle can be helpful for the breakthrough of the Life Gene Level of the Yan God Race Clone!"
"So..." Yang Wu began to recall his many previous simulation experiences.
"Next, there's a good opportunity, but I don't know if I'll be able to participate," Yang Wu thought to himself.
Just as Yang Wu was secretly making plans, in a remote region of the universe, in an extremely secluded Cosmic Secret Realm.
This Cosmic Secret Realm is quite barren; the concentration of Cosmic Energy is even less than that of some desolate planets within Human Territory.
Yet, within this Cosmic Secret Realm, countless 'Nika Race' live.
The strongest member of the Nika Race is merely a Limit King Level Immortal God at the King level, making them one of the weakest races in the universe. Therefore, they can only survive in such a desolate secret realm.
As for those races that didn't even King Level Immortal, they either live in the God Kingdom of Immortal God or have already been annihilated in the long river of time.
Meanwhile, inside the Nika Race's temple, three figures were conversing.
These three were the three leaders of the Nika Race: Nika, Taylor, and Brad!
Among them, Nika is Limit King Level expert, while Taylor and Brad are both at the Peak King Level.
"Big Brother!" Taylor, the most burly of the three, clad in blood-red armor, exclaimed excitedly, "This time, the 'Cicada Race' has offered a high bounty, which is an opportunity for our Nika Race!"
"Yes, teacher!" Brad, dressed in Azure Battle Armor, exclaimed excitedly, "This time, the Venerable Purple Cicada of the Cicada Race unexpectedly perished. In order to have a powerful being from the Hong Alliance revive the Venerable Purple Cicada, the Cicada Race needs a large amount of military merit. Therefore, in order to obtain enough military merit, the Cicada Race has offered many precious treasures in exchange, including some items that cannot be exchanged on the Outer-Region Battlefield, and the prices are also cheaper than those in the Outer-Region Battlefield's Army System."
"As long as we gain enough military merits on the Outer-Region Battlefield, we will definitely be able to exchange them for a suitable Amplitude Secret Technique from the Cicada Race. At that time, your strength will be greatly enhanced!"
Generally speaking, to create Amplitude Secret Technique, one would need at least the strength of Universe Venerable. However, the strongest member of the Nika Race was merely a King Rank expert, so naturally he could not possess such a secret technique.
Fortunately, Nika, the leader of the Nika Race, possessed remarkable comprehension and created several Peak Secret Techniques, giving him the strength to Limit King Level.
"What's the use of changing the Amplitude Secret Technique?" Taylor retorted, "In my opinion, it would be better to ask the Cicada Race to recommend my Nika Race to join the Hong Alliance! The Hong Alliance is one of the most powerful forces in the entire Hong Alliance, and I've heard that it has endless treasures. We can naturally purchase suitable Amplitude Secret Technique."
Brad's eyes lit up upon hearing Taylor's words.
Nika, seated in the main seat, nodded in agreement and said, "Taylor is right! Once we join the Hong Alliance, we can connect to the incredibly magical Virtual Universe of the Human Race. At that time, communication between the Immortal God within our race will be much faster! Moreover, I've heard from friends on the Outer-Region Battlefield that if we have enough military merits, even if we unexpectedly perish, a super strong individual within the Hong Alliance will resurrect us!"
"However, if we want to gain enough military merits on the Outer-Region Battlefield, we still need to be cautious! Only three of us in the Nika Race have the opportunity to break through to the Universe Venerable. Losing any one of us would be a serious blow to the Nika Race!"
"Teacher, we can go to a less dangerous combat zone!" Brad suggested from the side. "I spent some time on the Yanji Continent, the Seventh Battlefield outside the domain. There are many powerful people there, but very few who have reached the King Level Immortal. With your strength, Teacher, and with the assistance of Senior Taylor and me, you won't encounter any danger on the Yanji Continent!"
"That's a great idea!" Nika smiled. "In the last billions of years, I've created a Peak Level Movement Technique. Even if we encounter several Limit King Level experts at the same time, I can still help you escape!"
"Brad, did you leave behind Divine Power Token on the Yanji Continent?"
"Yes!" Brad nodded and said, "Teacher, I left my Divine Power Token in the core area of the Yanji Continent. That place is covered by endless seawater, and powerful figures rarely appear there!"
"Alright!" Nika said, "Let's settle the affairs within our clan first, and then we'll go to the Yanji Continent together to strive for the rise of my Nika Race!"
Don't think I'm being sloppy with this Nika Race story; although it's meant to introduce the Sky Piercer King, I did want to write a little about it.
In my eyes, the world is a thick book, and Tomato's "Swallowed Star" is just a few of the most exciting pages.
There are billions of species in the universe, and each species has its own way of surviving.
Four Peak Races, powerful races, ordinary races, weak races, and even some even weaker races...
And then there was Fito...
Whenever I have the chance, I think I should write these things down a little.
Even back in the Genius Battle, when I heavily referenced the original text, I would carefully consider the words of those minor characters.
Those who are interested can reread chapters 152 and 154. They actually have many similarities to the original text, but I also have my own interpretations.
Among the discussions were those of Planetary Level citizens, who would undoubtedly be incredibly excited to witness a Genius Battle, as most people would never see one in their lifetime. Even if Genius Battle and Strongest Battle were to intersect, it would only happen once every 2500 years.
There are discussions that Immortal; they might go into seclusion for tens of thousands of years, missing several sessions altogether.
There are 'geniuses' who can live for five thousand years at the Star Level; some have even reached the fifth or sixth level of the Domain, and some have even crossed the threshold of the Law, making them virtually invincible within a galaxy. However, compared to the entire Human Race, they are nothing special.
