Everyone Below World Lord Rank Could Escape
Three days later, the water in the Spirit Liquid Pool on Linghu Island rippled gently.
Tang Ping slowly opened his eyes, his gaze now devoid of any of the previous agitation, only a clear and calm one, as if it could reflect all things in the world.
His obsession with "battle" and his attraction to women had subsided into ripples on the surface of his heart, quietly settling down. At this moment, his mind was filled only with awe for the great Dao of the universe and a focused dedication to improving his own strength.
"Only with a clear mind can one glimpse the true essence of the Great Dao." He murmured softly, raising his hand to brush across the water's surface, a faint ripple of the laws emanating from his fingertips.
As I stood up, the water droplets on my robe slid off automatically, leaving no trace of moisture. This was a subtle control that naturally formed after I had gained a rudimentary understanding of the Universe Origin Laws.
As Tang Ping stepped out of the secret room and onto the courtyard, he heard a faint whooshing sound overhead.
Looking up, a silver-white transport spaceship was hovering in mid-air. Then, a ten-meter-tall mechanical arm carrying a nearly thousand-meter-tall black metal box slowly descended and landed steadily in the center of the courtyard, stirring up a faint energy ripple.
"Beep~ Identity verification complete, Tang Ping. Your customized Domain Lord Level Peak Cloud-Touching Vine has been successfully cultivated. Please proceed with the inspection." A cold, mechanical voice emanated from the speaker on the metal box, simultaneously projecting a blue verification light screen.
Tang Ping nodded slightly, his heart unmoved. He raised his hand and typed a complex password on the light screen. The moment his fingertip swept across the screen, the password transformed into Flowing Light and merged into the light screen.
"Buzz~"
The black metal box emitted a deep hum, its walls slowly unfolding to reveal a lush, verdant interior. The next moment, a vast surge of joy and longing, like a warm tide, flooded Tang Ping's consciousness, carrying a childlike exuberance. "Master! I've finally met you!"
"Hiss~"
Accompanying the thought was the sound of countless vines dancing.
Tens of thousands of slender vines surged wildly from the box, cascading down like a green waterfall and instantly wrapping around the stone pillars of the courtyard; 108 deep red vines, each 3,000 kilometers long, shot straight into the sky, intertwining and entwining in the air, blotting out the sun and covering the entire sky above Linghu Island.
As the enormous vines danced, they carried a power that shook heaven and earth; the courtyard ground trembled slightly, and the surrounding air seemed to be compressed and frozen.
Standing in the center of the vines, Tang Ping felt the oppressive feeling brought by the 108 long vines closing in and surrounding him, and couldn't help but feel a sense of amazement.
"Boom!"
As if the space was not enough, the Cloud-Touching Vine suddenly broke through the soil with its huge root system, climbing upwards with a powerful life force. The moment it broke through the clouds, the entire sky of Linghu Island was covered by the deep red vines, like a huge sky curtain.
Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the vines, casting dappled shadows on the ground, making the Cloud-Touching Vine appear even more menacing and vast.
Majestic.
"With such powerful vitality, no wonder the data says that even the destruction speed of a typical Realm Lord can't keep up with its recovery speed."
Tang Ping gazed at the long vines dancing in the sky and sighed inwardly. The deep red vines stretched and intertwined in the air, each sway carrying an air of asserting dominance.
Tang Ping was not one to show off. After Cloud-Touching Vine finished venting his joy, he had a sudden thought and conveyed the message of "restraint" to him.
The intention.
The next moment, an astonishing scene unfolded: the enormous, sky-covering vines and the dense root system that penetrated deep into the ground instantly moved closer to Tang Ping, while simultaneously shrinking!
The vines, which were originally 3,000 kilometers long, shrank to the thickness of a thumb in the blink of an eye; the canopy of vines covering the sky also receded like the tide, eventually condensing into a ball of deep red light, which slowly landed on Tang Ping.
The core of the root system silently merged into his skin, establishing a close connection with his body; 108 small vines, each as thick as a thumb, danced on his body, then intertwined and gradually coalesced into a complete set of crimson battle armor, from helmet to boots, even his fingers were covered with well-fitting crimson gloves, every pattern filled with the rhythm of life.
Tang Ping flexed his wrists and could clearly feel the powerful force emanating from the Cloud-Touching Battle Armor.
He clenched his fist lightly, feeling a surge of immense power coursing through his body. He estimated in his mind, "Even without using my own strength, the explosive power of the Cloud-Touching Vine alone is enough to turn a thousand kilometers of the Earth into ruins with a single punch, and the shockwave can spread over ten thousand kilometers."
This power—it's terrifying!
However, his original intention in cultivating the Cloud-Touching Vine was to enhance his defense.
Now that his goal had been achieved, Tang Ping didn't linger. After signing the cultivation report for the Cloud-Touching Vine, he turned and returned to his secret chamber to continue his seclusion.
Last time in the Immortal Monument Forest, his Wind and Thunder Laws were greatly enhanced, and he also successfully entered the Time Law. Theoretically, he should now be able to unleash even more powerful secret techniques.
These newly acquired abilities must be mastered as soon as possible, especially the techniques of escape and attack. After all, the path of cultivation is fraught with danger, and only by being fast enough and strong enough can one survive in unexpected situations and not let down the years of hard work.
This retreat lasted for a year.
Tang Ping focused his main efforts on cultivating the <Wind-Thunder Brief Notes>, while also honing his skills in using the "Misty Divine Weapon".
Finally, in the eleventh month of his seclusion, he successfully mastered the Fourth Layer of the "Divine Weapon": "One Sword Slashes Heaven and Earth".
When using this move, he can completely integrate his Sword Domain into the Void Sword Qi, combining 1600 small swords into a void giant sword nearly ten meters long.
This giant sword contains the power of the Wind Law and Time Law, making it virtually invincible among cultivators at the first level of the Yu Shen realm. Once the giant sword is formed, a single, casual slash can cleave mountains and divide seas, displaying astonishing power.
In addition, he never neglected the training of his will and the practice of Soul Defense Secret Technique.
After a year of honing his skills, his willpower was nearing the limit of the Domain Lord level, and his Soul Defense Secret Technique had reached the World Lord Rank.
[Realm: Universe Level 8] (5260/10000).
[Willpower: Ninth Tier of Domain Lord (80000/100000)]
[Laws: Wind Laws (32020/10000000), Thunder Laws (32020/10000000), Time Law (10/100 billion)]
[Secret Technique: Wind-Thunder Brief Notes (53210/100000000000) Chaos Bell (Soul Defense: First Stage Realm Lord)]
[Weapon: "Mysterious Divine Weapon Level 4 (100/10000)"]
"Cloud-Touching Vine Battle Suit + Tier 5 Battle Armor + World Lord Rank Soul Defense + Top-tier Escape Technique----" Tang Ping opened his eyes, feeling the surging power within him, and was extremely confident, "Theoretically, even if I encounter some powerful World Lords, they wouldn't be able to stop me."
This is not only his extraordinary talent, but also the result of his tireless and diligent cultivation day and night without the slightest slackening.
Heaven rewards diligence!
Next, it's time to reward myself.
Hehehe~
