The Black Pattern Stone Pillars

"Call out!"

A streak of dark Golden Flowing Light flashed across the void.

"Hmm?" Yang Wu, who was flying at high speed, suddenly turned his head to look into the distance.

Although the space inside the Black Pattern Stone Pillar was quite safe, Yang Wu, who had suffered a lot on the way, kept releasing the 'Ruyi Aurora Mirror' to explore the surrounding situation.

"We actually ran into the Lord of Yan Ying!" A smile involuntarily appeared on Yang Wu's face.

In fact, as early as three hundred years ago, after learning that Yang Wu was about to arrive in the Black Pattern Stone Pillar space, the Lord of Yan Ying frequently contacted Yang Wu in the Virtual Universe to build a closer relationship.

The Lord of Yan Ying was able to venture into the Inner Domain of Universe Boat, which shows that he possessed extraordinary strength. He was comparable to the Ice Peak Master and others, and even within the Hong Alliance, he would rank among the top. The only difference was that the treasures he possessed were somewhat inferior.

Over the past three hundred years, Yang Wu and the other party have developed some acquaintance.

"Time Lord!" A voice entered Yang Wu's mind through the Aurora Domain.

The Lord of Yan Ying is a strange bird with a blue body and some golden feathers on its head. Its wingspan is more than 100,000 kilometers, which is not much smaller than the size of Ting Ni Clone.

"Lord of Yan Ying!" Yang Wu smiled and flew towards the other party.

"I detected an Aurora Domain earlier and guessed it might be you, Time Lord, so I rushed over here!"

The Lord of Yan Ying spoke in the common language of humanity, "It is truly delightful to be able to see the Time Lord in this Universe Ocean!"

In the past few hundred years, although Yang Wu has been constantly on the move, there are many powerful individuals on the Universe Boat, and quite a few people have seen Yang Wu.

The battles Yang Wu experienced were all discovered and subsequently circulated throughout the Universe Ocean.

It should be noted that Yang Wu initially gained fame in the Universe Ocean because of his incredibly astonishing cultivation speed and his strength Fifth-Order Universe Master.

While Fifth-Order Universe Master are extremely rare in the Primal Universe, there are still thousands of them in the Universe Ocean.

After all, the powerful beings of the Two Holy Land Universes, the First Reincarnation Era, and the Second Reincarnation Era have all experienced an incredibly long period of time. Whether it is the secret techniques they created or the Supreme Treasure they accumulated, they far surpass the powerful beings in the Primal Universe.

Although many powerful figures in the Universe Ocean were unwilling to provoke Yang Wu, they all hoped that he would suffer a great setback!

Although Yang Wu escaped unscathed from the Lord of Time, it might be because his fighting style was quite effective against his opponent.

However, as Yang Wu fought more and more in the Universe Ocean, especially after his battle with one of the Universe Supreme Being during the First Reincarnation Era, many powerful beings in the Universe Ocean came to recognize Yang Wu's strength even more.

Therefore, the Lord of Yan Ying treated Yang Wu with unparalleled enthusiasm at this time.

Everyone knows that with Yang Wu's cultivation speed, after undergoing some trials, his strength should be able to continue to improve very quickly.

"I'm quite happy to see the Lord of Yan Ying!" Yang Wu said with a smile.

Upon hearing Yang Wu's words, the Lord of Yan Ying smiled even more.

You should know that he had only come to this Black Pattern Stone Pillar space to rest for a while. However, hundreds of years ago, when he was planning to leave this place to continue his adventures in Zhouzhou, he suddenly learned that Yang Wu was about to arrive here.

So, in order to meet Yang Wu, he decided to stay in the Black Pattern Stone Pillar space to continue resting.

In a few hundred years, the powerful Lord of Yan Ying would likely have acquired enough valuable resources by exploring other areas of the Universe Boat.

Fortunately, I have now met Yang Wu and we get along quite well, so it's all been worth it.

"Time Lord, there are a few things you should be aware of when you come to this Black Pattern Stone Pillar space to temper your will..."

The Lord of Yan Ying stood beside Yang Wu, and the two flew side by side as a streak of Flowing Light, conversing with each other through divine power.

Of course, since Yang Wu had met the Lord of Yan Ying several times before in the Hong Alliance City Virtual Universe, the other party knew the purpose of Yang Wu's visit and began to explain the situation to Yang Wu directly.

As expected of a powerful figure who frequently ventures near the Black Pattern Stone Pillar Region, the Lord of Yan Ying possesses a wealth of information, some of which is not even recorded by the Human Race.

However, in order to befriend Yang Wu, the Lord of Yan Ying spilled out almost everything he knew to Yang Wu.

Yang Wu also learned a lot of things he had never known before from the Lord of Yan Ying.

There are sixteen Black Pattern Stone Pillar in total. Among the three Universe Supreme Being, the 'Blood Orchid Progenitor' has long resided on the No. 9 Black Pattern Stone Pillar, while the 'Bei Chi Star Master' has long resided on the No. 2 Black Pattern Stone Pillar. As for the Tyrannical Demon God, he likes to disguise himself and wander around without a fixed abode. However, the last time he appeared was on the No. 7 Black Pattern Stone Pillar, where he killed a Universe Master from the First Universe Reincarnation Era.

"Time Lord, with your strength, as long as you don't encounter the Tyrannical Demon God, you should be quite safe in this Black Pattern Stone Pillar Region!"

Lord of Yan Ying looked at Yang Wu and said enviously, "Moreover, you possess Peak Palace-type Treasure. Even the Tyrannical Demon God might not be able to do anything to you!"

Although the space within the Black Pattern Stone Pillar is quite safe, there are still some powerful individuals who could pose a threat to the Lord of Yan Ying.

For example, the Master of Pure Eye within the God Eye Race First Universe Reincarnation Era!

The Master of Pure Eye is the direct disciple of the First True Master of the God Eye Race. He is especially skilled in various techniques such as Soul Attack and illusions, and possesses a Peak Supreme Treasure of illusions called the 'Pure Light Mirror'. He is renowned throughout the universe.

Even some Universe Master possess Clone would rather not encounter the Master of Pure Eye than some ordinary Universe Supreme Being, because if they do not have Soul-type Supreme Treasure to protect their souls, they might Soul Annihilation of the Master of Pure Eye!

Of course, Yang Wu's Ting Ni Clone had no soul, yet it was completely unafraid of the Soul Attack of the Master of Pure Eye.

While exchanging words, Yang Wu and the Lord of Yan Ying had already arrived within the area covered by a Black Pattern Stone Pillar.

"Ahead is the No. 2 Black Pattern Stone Pillar. Because of the presence of Bei Chi Star Master, this has become the place with the most powerful people gathered in the entire Black Pattern Stone Pillar space."

With a flap of its wings, the Lord of Yan Ying soared through the air at high speed, heading directly towards the No. 2 Sky Piercing Demon Pillar.

Yang Wu, who was flying alongside it, glanced at it.

A towering stone pillar stretched endlessly to the edge of the field of vision, piercing straight into the endless mist. Even the base of the Black Pattern Stone Pillar was penetrated into the endless mist below.

Whew! Whew! Whew!

A vast number of enormous rocks spun and flew around the Black Pattern Stone Pillar, like planets orbiting a star. And among the densely packed giant rocks, there were also some exquisitely carved black-spired buildings.

That is the Spatial Secret Chamber within the space of the Black Pattern Stone Pillar!

As long as you possess the corresponding Spatial Token, you can enter those secret chambers.

During the flight, the Lord of Yan Ying continued to observe Yang Wu.

In his view, although Yang Wu's cultivation speed was incredibly fast, his cultivation period was far too short, so his willpower was probably not very strong.

The closer one gets to the No. 2 Black Pattern Stone Pillar, the stronger the Will Impact becomes.

This is an attack specifically targeting the will; even Special Lifeform without a soul will still be affected in the same way.

As they flew further and further, the look of surprise on the face of the Lord of Yan Ying grew stronger.

"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!"

It was as if the roars of billions of troops fighting were constantly entering Yang Wu and his companion's minds. At this distance, even some powerful beings among the Universe Master would need to do their best to resist the Will Impact. Although Lord of Yan Ying had not yet reached his limit, he was not far off.

But he noticed that Yang Wu's face was very calm, as if he did not feel any strain.

"The Time Lord truly deserves to be called the strongest genius in the history of the Primal Universe!" Lord of Yan Ying couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "Even with such a short period of cultivation, his willpower is still so astonishing?"

"I have cultivated for a long time and honed my skills in this Black Pattern Stone Pillar space for a considerable period of time, yet I am still no match for him?"

Of course, the Lord of Yan Ying did not know that Yang Wu had already possessed the will of Universe Master at the Venerable stage. Now that he had become Universe Master and had undergone a simulation lasting tens of millions of years, even if his will had not broken through, he had already reached the limit of Universe Master.

A moment later.

"Time Lord!" Lord of Yan Ying finally couldn't help but say, "The closer we get, the stronger the Will Impact emanating from the Black Pattern Stone Pillar becomes! I usually cultivate at around this distance; any further and I won't be able to withstand it!"

"Oh?"

Yang Wu looked up and saw that there weren't many powerful figures left in front of him.

As early as the introduction by the Lord of Yan Ying, Yang Wu had already learned that there were hundreds of Universe Masters in this area of the No. 2 Black Pattern Stone Pillar, but now there are only about twenty left.

Therefore, it seems that the will of the Lord of Yan Ying is extremely powerful, even among the Universe Master.

Moreover, the flow of time in this region has soared to more than a thousand times that of the Primal Universe, which should have a significant effect on Yang Wu's ability to refresh the number of times he can accelerate his simulations.

"Lord of Yan Ying, as we approach, the flow of time is constantly changing."

Yang Wu asked with a smile, "I wonder what the fastest flow of time ahead can reach?"

"The closer we get to the core area, the more exaggerated the rate of time flow becomes!" Lord of Yan Ying said. "There are still some Universe Master ahead. The area where those seventeen Universe Master are located is already the limit that we Universe Master can reach. According to them, the rate of time flow there has reached 3,000 times!"

"As for going further, one would need a will comparable to the Universe Supreme Being. In this region of the No. 2 Black Pattern Stone Pillar, only three Universe Masters are capable of achieving this. The time flow in their respective regions is different, roughly five thousand to ten thousand times faster!"

"Of course, the most terrifying flow of time is in the area where Bei Chi Star Master resides. Bei Chi Star Master has honed his will to an extremely terrifying level. According to him, the flow of time there has reached a terrifying 130,000 times!"

"The Lord of Yan Ying?"

"Beside him... Lightning Special Lifeform? Aurora Domain? That must be Time Lord from the Human Race!"

Some of the Universe Master around the Black Pattern Stone Pillar also noticed that Yang Wu and Lord Yan Ying were flying inside.

The area where the two were located also secretly alarmed some Universe Master!

After all, their views were very similar to those of the Lord of Yan Ying, all believing that Yang Wu, whose cultivation period was extremely short, was not good at willpower.

As Yang Wu and his companion ventured deeper, the Universe Master grew increasingly astonished. They simply couldn't believe that a Universe Master had cultivated for such a short time could possess such an astonishing will.

After all, great strength does not necessarily equate to an astonishing will. Some weaker Universe Master can also possess an extremely powerful will.

Just like those three universe lords whose wills could rival the Universe Supreme Being Universe Master in the universe, one Universe Master them only possessed the strength of a top-tier fourth-order being.

"Alright!" Yang Wu smiled at the Lord of Yan Ying, then smiled and said, "Lord of Yan Ying, since you're cultivating here, I won't disturb you any longer! I still need to travel a bit further. If you need to contact me, you can do so through the Virtual Universe!"

"Time Lord, you're honing your will in this space of the Black Pattern Stone Pillar. If you need anything, feel free to come find me. I've been exploring this area recently!" Lord of Yan Ying quickly added.

"Good!"

Yang Wu immediately transformed into a Golden Flowing Light and continued flying closer to the Black Pattern Stone Pillar.

"Hmm? Someone's coming. A lightning-based life form. Judging from its appearance, it seems to be Time Lord from the Primal Universe's Human Race!"

"Indeed, I had previously discovered that the other party was communicating with the Lord of Yan Ying within the Hong Alliance, so it must be the Time Lord!"

"What? The Time Lord has actually come here?"

"He actually managed to fly this far... It seems the Time Lord's reputation in the Universe Ocean is truly not to be underestimated!"

As they flew closer, more and more Universe Master noticed Yang Wu.

"The speed of time is indeed increasing rapidly, 1,500 times, 2,000 times, 2,500 times..."

As time flowed faster and faster, Yang Wu felt as if space and time themselves were being distorted.

When the flow of time reached approximately three thousand times that of the outside world, Yang Wu finally stopped and landed directly on a huge, constantly flying rock.

There were also more than a dozen other Universe Master around, most of whom were at this distance.

"Such a powerful sense of oppression!"

Yang Wu stood atop the massive rock, gazing at the towering, black stone pillar ahead. "The Will Impact here is already quite unpleasant, but thankfully it's not affecting my cultivation!"

"A time flow rate three thousand times faster is far superior to the Time Palace! Even when the Time Palace and the Giant Axe Supreme's Mini-Universe, it wouldn't be this terrifying!"

"Although the time interval between each simulation in the Time Simulator has become 720,000 years after I became the Universe Master, I can Time Acceleration here at the Black Pattern Stone Pillar. In the Primal Universe, I can conduct a simulation every two hundred years or so."

"Moreover, as willpower increases, the flow of time in the future will become even more terrifying! If I could be like Bei Chi Star Master, I could simulate it once every ten years!"

"Next, it's a matter of honing our willpower while waiting for the simulation count to refresh!"

Yang Wu thought to himself, "It won't be long before I become a true Fifth-Order Universe Master!"
