The Time Nightmare Beast

"To be honest, compared to the Space-Time Cocoon, I would recommend that you choose to nurture it into Clone," the Lord of Darkness suggested. "As an excellent Illusionist, I think you should understand the importance of this Time Demon Beast to you!"

"Moreover, it's not just the illusion enhancement; the Time Demon Beast's Innate Secret Technique are perfectly aligned with your path."

"There are billions of races and various strange life forms in the universe, each with its own unique talents and abilities. While the Time Demon Beast's Innate Secret Technique may not be the most advanced, they are certainly the most suitable for you."

"Teacher, what is this Innate Secret Technique?" Lu Yan'an suddenly became curious.

This Time Demon Beast is essentially a high-end version of the Mosha Clan; not only is it immune to mental attacks, but it can also unleash mental attacks itself. Moreover, according to the Lord of Darkness, it possesses an Innate Secret Technique quite suited to its current situation!

The Lord of Darkness slowly said, "Black Hole Event Horizon!"

"Black Hole Event Horizon!" Upon hearing this term, Lu Yan'an was stunned. The name seemed ordinary at first glance, but in reality, it was incredibly terrifying!

True black holes are invisible to the naked eye. In the world before Lu Yan'an's reincarnation, the definition of a black hole was still debated.

But this has already been figured out in the universe.

It was an extremely dense celestial body that had collapsed and compressed to the extreme, much denser than a neutron star. It was formed from some superstars in the universe and would devour any spaceships, planets, meteorites, stars, and other celestial bodies that came near it in order to continuously strengthen itself.

Black holes also vary in power; the stronger the black hole, the larger its affected area. Even for a low-level black hole, one needs the strength of Universe Venerable to stand at its core. As for some super-powerful black holes, even Universe Venerable would mostly have to give them a wide berth.

The Black Hole Event Horizon, as the name suggests, is the closed boundary of a black hole. All matter outside the boundary, including light and radiation, can be drawn into the boundary, but things inside the boundary cannot come out.

Moreover, this is the critical point at which information can be transmitted before entering a black hole; events that occur inside this boundary cannot be observed outside the boundary. The size of a black hole, as commonly referred to, actually refers to the size of its Black Hole Event Horizon.

Of course, the black hole created by the Innate Secret Technique "Black Hole Event Horizon" cannot be as large as a natural black hole, but it is essentially the same, a kind of absolute defense before immortality!

"This Innate Secret Technique is a perfect fusion of the Law of Time Origin Law of Light, manifesting itself flawlessly. As a martial artist following the path of Law of Light and Time Fusion, this Innate Secret Technique will greatly aid your comprehension of these Fusion Laws!" the Lord of Darkness explained.

Of course, no Innate Secret Technique can be absolutely perfect. Even though the "Time Demon Beast" is a life Life Gene Level, if the difference in strength is too great, it is impossible to perfectly devour all incoming attacks. However, if one is attacked by an attack that even this outrageous secret technique cannot defend against, then one should basically give up resisting, as struggling is pointless.

"Disciple, if you can nurture this 'Time Demon Beast' into Clone, you will be able to continue comprehending the Fusion Laws at the Universe Level. The benefits to your future development will be self-evident."

The Fusion Laws Light and Time is a key to the realm of the Universe Master. To be able to cultivate deeply in this field during the early stages of cultivation is the dream of countless people! But countless people do not even have the opportunity to walk this path, and spend their entire lives wasting time.

Lu Yan'an nodded. From a comprehensive perspective, the "Time Demon Beast" Clone was indeed extremely attractive to him. This had nothing to do with Innate Secret Technique, but rather a matter of choice.

His mind was frantically weighing the pros and cons. Judging from the three Special Lifeform introduced by the Lord of Darkness, he clearly did not want to choose the Special Lifeform "Hanyuan" as his first Clone.

Although "Hanyuan's" Innate Secret Technique is very powerful in terms of survival, its attributes do not form a complementary closed loop with Lu Yan'an's attributes. Apart from surviving, it has no other use. In fact, after the information of this Clone is exposed, its Innate Secret Technique can be targeted. This alone is enough to rule it out as an option.

The Special Lifeform "Space-Time Cocoon" has the added advantage of spatial talent, the resilience of Undying Body, and the escape skill of Space-Time Domain. Choosing it as the first Clone is definitely worthwhile! In terms of survival alone, it far surpasses "Hanyuan" and does not have the weakness of Hanyuan being vulnerable to being targeted.

But what Lu Yan'an wanted to survive wasn't this kind of survival strategy involving stacking thick armor and running incredibly fast. Although this method could help him get through his weakest period in the early to mid-game, it would be completely ineffective in the late game when facing enemies like Universe Venerable or even Universe Master.

At that point, the competition will be about the size of the Divine Body and the Supreme Treasure. Choosing the "Space-Time Cocoon" now would undoubtedly mean giving up the overwhelming Clone Divine Body on. But if the Clone's role is the same for both, then it's a waste!

Finally, there's the Special Lifeform, the "Time Demon Beast," which offers comprehensive enhancements to Lu Yan'an. Not only does it provide an epic boost to his Illusionist path, but its Innate Secret Technique can also help him comprehend the Law of Light and Time Fusion, and it even provides "absolute defense" against Immortal Level attacks. Finally, there's the boost to his Heart Power... From any perspective, it's the top choice for Lu Yan'an's first Clone!

After pondering for a long time, he bowed to the Lord of Darkness and said, "This disciple chooses the 'Time Demon Beast'!"

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Darkness nodded secretly; this disciple had finally taken his words to heart. Of the three recommendations he gave Lu Yan'an, the most important one was undoubtedly the Time Demon Beast, Special Lifeform form based on the energy of "light and time"!

In fact, the Lord of Darkness's selection of Special Lifeform forms from his inventory is limited. This Time Demon Beast can already be considered a custom-made Clone for Lu Yan'an! Apart from this, the Lord of Darkness had not considered the possibility that his little apprentice could choose other Clone.

After Lu Yan'an made his choice, the surrounding space instantly changed, and he returned to the palace on Thunder Island.

"Since you've made your choice, let's leave it at that!" The Lord of Darkness waved his hand, clearly dismissing him. As one of the few Universe Master of the Virtual Universe Company, he was always very busy! He had obviously made time specifically to summon Lu Yan'an this time, but who would have thought that his disciple would waste so much of his time because of his Clone problem!

"Yes, disciple takes his leave!" Lu Yan'an also noticed the weariness on the Lord of Darkness's face. He dared not act rashly and obediently withdrew.

After Lu Yan'an left, only the Lord of Darkness remained, seated alone on his throne within the vast Thunder Island palace. "Grow up quickly, little ones!" the Lord of Darkness sighed. The next moment, his figure vanished completely from the Virtual Universe...

Three days later, Lu Yan'an received a package in the Original Secret Realm. The courier was someone Lu Yan'an immediately—his former junior brother from the Chaos Ruins — Venerable Gui Yi!

"Junior brother, this is what our master asked me to bring you!" Venerable Gui Yi reached out and took out a broken piece of scale armor from his Space Ring, which still carried a hazy and illusory aura.

[I recommend Yeguo Reading; it's really good for tracking books. You can download it here: yeguoyuedu. Everyone should give it a try!]

He held his breath, for the scales of the Time Demon Beast before him seemed almost Meng Huan. Although they were broken and separated from their master, it did not affect the operation of the Secret Pattern on them.

"Thank you so much, Senior Brother! I'm so grateful for your help." Lu Yan'an's face was filled with gratitude. He could imagine how travel-worn Venerable Gui Yi when he delivered the materials for him.

"Cultivate diligently and don't let your master down." Venerable Gui Yi didn't say much, but simply patted Lu Yan'an's shoulder, everything was understood without words.

Venerable Gui Yi then took his leave, but before departing, he gave Lu Yan'an a meaningful look, said nothing more, and turned to board the spaceship...

"Everything is ready except for the final touch!" Lu Yan'an looked at the broken scale in his hand, his heart filled with excitement. Every reincarnated person who comes to this Devouring World wants a Clone! And only today can Lu Yan'an proudly say that he has caught up with the average level of reincarnated people!

"Let's begin then." He smiled, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
