The Limits of Willpower

Two hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye. Whether it was because the Ancestral Dragon Clone had a change of fortune or for some other reason, the Ancestral Dragon Clone did not encounter any trouble in these two hundred years and arrived near the Black Pattern Stone Pillar very smoothly.

Of course, the only slightly uncomfortable thing was having a tail following behind.

The Ancestral Dragon Clone was indeed helpless against the Jōgan Lord, unless Gulanxiu's true body carried the Chaos Green Lotus to suppress him.

Of course, what the Ancestral Dragon Clone didn't know was that the Jōgan Lord was also feeling quite unwell at this moment.

After following the Ancestral Dragon Clone for over a hundred years, he was surprised to discover that the Ancestral Dragon Clone's map was incredibly comprehensive, even more accurate in some places than the routes of the Divine Eye Clan.

The Wuhun Lord had failed to shorten the distance even slightly in such a long period of time.

Moreover, from the route taken by the Ancestral Dragon Clone, the Jōgan Lord roughly guessed that he wanted to go to the Black Pattern Magic Pillar!

Although other Divine Eye Clan Universe Lords might have been able to intercept the Ancestral Dragon Clone along the way, they were all Fourth-Stage Universe Master and were no match for the Ancestral Dragon Clone at all, so the Jōgan Lord did not notify them.

As for the Skeleton Race, after the Ancestral Dragon Clone shielded the Blood Scythe Master's senses, it became very difficult for them to find the Ancestral Dragon Clone, which allowed the Ancestral Dragon Clone to safely reach its destination!

Looking at the sixteen towering stone pillars before him, the Ancestral Dragon Clone murmured to himself, "After more than five hundred years, we've finally arrived!"

As he said this, the Ancestral Dragon Clone ignored the Jōgan Lord following behind him and walked towards the space of the Black Pattern Stone Pillar!

Within the space of the Black Pattern Stone Pillar, groups of powerful individuals were either resting or honing their willpower near the Black Pattern Stone Pillar.

The moment the Ancestral Dragon Clone stepped into this space, it immediately attracted everyone's attention!

"It is the Ancestral Dragon Lord of the Third Reincarnation Era. I heard that this Ancestral Dragon Lord has only been a Universe Lord for tens of thousands of years, yet he already possesses the strength of Fifth-Order Universe Master. He is an unparalleled genius of this Reincarnation Era of the Original Universe!" a Universe Lord said.

"That's right! I've heard that the Divine Eye Clan and the Skeleton Race both suffered losses at its hands, but I don't know if it's true or not!" said another Universe Lord.

"It's highly likely to be true! Look, isn't the Jōgan Lord of the Divine Eye Clan following him?" said the previous Universe Lord.

"This is going to be interesting! The Blood Bone Master of the Skeleton Race recently came to the Black Pattern Stone Pillar space to recuperate, and the Ancestral Dragon Lord has also arrived. The two of them are bound to have a battle!" another Universe Lord said.

Just then, a cosmic lord dressed in a red robe, whose appearance was obscured, appeared before the avatar of the Ancestral Dragon Clone Ancestral Dragon Clone said, "You are the Ancestral Dragon Lord? I will give you one chance. Release the Blood Scythe Master now and offer a Peak Treasure to my Skeleton Race as an apology, and this matter will be settled. Otherwise, you will perish here!"

"Get out!" the Ancestral Dragon Clone said coldly.

Now that they had arrived near the Black Pattern Stone Pillar space, the Ancestral Dragon Clone did not want to get entangled with him! Although this Blood Bone Master was a Fifth-Order Universe Master, the Ancestral Dragon Clone did not waste any words and attacked directly.

A pure white ruler flew out, and on its two sides emerged two Beast God Phantom: a golden Lizard and an earthen-yellow Qilin. They intertwined and crashed towards the Blood Bone Master.

At this moment, the Jōgan Lord, who was still closely following the Ancestral Dragon Clone inside the Palace Treasure, darkened his face and a hint of hatred appeared in his eyes as he looked at the Ancestral Dragon Clone!

Because that white ruler was its Supreme Treasure, the White Jade Ruler. This White Jade Ruler was the finest among the Peak Weapon Treasure. It was very easy to use, but unfortunately, it was forcibly taken away by the Ancestral Dragon Clone.

Faced with the attack of the Ancestral Dragon Clone, the Blood Bone Master brandished his blood-red robe and prepared to meet it.

At this moment, the Ancestral Dragon Clone suddenly spoke, "Roar!" A Dragon Roar roar was released, and in an instant, the binding power formed by the Eight Lower Laws enveloped the Blood Bone Master, while the soul-shaking Dragon Roar roar also shook its will!

Under the influence of the Dragon Roar's roar, the Blood Bone Master was momentarily stunned, followed by a loud "BOOM!"

The secret technique formed by the two phantom Beast God Phantom collided with the blood-red robe of the Blood Bone Master.

Under the influence of the dragon's Dragon Roar, the Blood Bone Master reacted a beat slower and was blasted away by the Ancestral Dragon Clone!

Although there was no major injury, it was seen as a disadvantage by the other universe lords.

Ignoring the Blood Bone Master, the Ancestral Dragon Clone flew directly toward a Black Pattern Stone Pillar.

The Blood Bone Master had just caught up, but had to stop again, because the Black Pattern Stone Pillar that the Ancestral Dragon Clone had gone to was none other than the Pillar No. 2 where the strongest being in the universe First Reincarnation Era, Beilai Star Master, was located.

Beilai Star Master is a low-key and kind person, but only the top clans of the First Reincarnation Era know how terrifying he is. Although he rarely makes a move, those who know him well know that in terms of strength, he may not be inferior to the First True Ancestor of Divine Eye Clan and the Skeleton Ancestor of the Skeleton Race.

In addition, he is a solitary and Special Life with no ties, so even top-tier races like the Divine Eye Clan and the Skeleton Race have to give him some respect.

Because he disliked fighting, the powerful individuals who came to the Black Pattern Stone Pillar space gradually formed an unspoken rule: they would not fight near the Black Pattern Stone Pillar where he was located.

Therefore, the area near the No. 2 Black Pattern Stone Pillar where he was located became one of the few safe zones in the Universe Sea. Not only was there no danger from the environment, but even battles between powerful individuals were rare.

Although the Blood Bone Master was powerful, he dared not act rashly in the territory of the Beilai Star Master, so he had no choice but to give up.

At this moment, the Jōgan Lord, who had been following behind the Ancestral Dragon Clone Ancestral Dragon Clone, also stepped out of the Palace Treasure and sneered, "Let's see how far you can go!"

The Ancestral Dragon Clone ignored the Jōgan Lord and walked towards the No. 2 Black Pattern Stone Pillar on its own.

As they drew closer to the No. 2 Black Pattern Stone Pillar, the Will Impact grew stronger and stronger. In the blink of an eye, the Ancestral Dragon Clone surpassed dozens of powerful figures.

"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" The roars were like those of billions of troops fighting. Even seasoned cosmic masters had to exert all their strength to resist the Will Impact here.

At this moment, the Jōgan Lord looked at the unfazed Ancestral Dragon Clone with a solemn expression. Although the Will Impact here was nothing to him, he was a master of playing with souls and often honed his will here. Under the effect of Time Acceleration, it took him the equivalent of five thousand Reincarnation Era to allow his will to break through the limit of the Lord of the Universe and reach a higher level!

In his view, the Ancestral Dragon Clone had only been cultivating for a short time. Even if it was exceptionally talented and created a heaven-defying secret technique, its will could not be too strong. However, the performance of the Ancestral Dragon Clone at this moment was beyond his expectations.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two streaks of Flowing Light swiftly flew towards the Black Pattern Stone Pillar. What does it mean to be thousands of light-years tall? The entire solar system is tiny compared to it. The closer they got, the more majestic the Black Pattern Stone Pillar seemed, and the overwhelming aura Ancestral Dragon Clone's clone tremble. It truly deserved to be recognized as a treasure even more special than the Supreme Treasure treasures. To this day, no strongest being in the universe has been able to approach or touch it.

Both continued to fly inwards.

The Jōgan Lord was constantly observing the Ancestral Dragon Clone. In his mind, how strong could the Ancestral Dragon's Ancestral Dragon Clone, who had only been the Lord of the Universe for tens of thousands of years, be, even if it had been tempering its will since birth? However, the Ancestral Dragon Clone always had a very natural and casual expression, which meant that the previous Will Impact had not even made the Ancestral Dragon Clone struggle, let alone reach its limit.

At this point, the Time Flow Rate is close to 2000 to 1.

Around the Black Pattern Stone Pillar, some universe lords watched the Ancestral Dragon Clone flying deeper and deeper into the stone. They were secretly shocked—to be able to approach so much deeper than them, it was clear that the Ancestral Dragon lord had a stronger will. They couldn't believe that an Ancestral Dragon Lord with such a short cultivation time could have such a strong will.

This distance exceeds the will limit of most universe lords, and some of them are even Fifth-Order Universe Master!

At this moment, Fan Chang Palace, the Blood Scythe Master swiftly flew out from the blood-red, bun-shaped Palace Treasure and shouted at the Ancestral Dragon Clone, "Ancestral Dragon, we can't go any further! You don't want to become a complete enemy of my Skeleton Race, do you?"

The Ancestral Dragon Clone did not answer the Blood Scythe Master and continued flying inside.

When the Ancestral Dragon Clone reached the region where the Time Flow Rate was 3000 to 1, it stopped in its tracks.

Following behind the Ancestral Dragon Clone, the Jōgan Lord secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "Finally, it has stopped!" This distance was basically the limit of the Universe Lord's will; he was only able to stand firm here after the end of the First Reincarnation Era.

However, the Jōgan Lord still sneered, "Haha! Ancestral Dragon! Why aren't you going any further? You've reached your limit here? You're really quite useless!"

As he said this, the Jōgan Lord continued to fly inside, and soon he had created some distance between himself and the Ancestral Dragon Clone!

"What a useless piece of trash!" the Ancestral Dragon Clone muttered to himself.

They then entered the Fan Chang Palace Fan Chang Palace, where they found the Blood Scythe Master lying unconscious on the ground in one of the spaces.

This is because the Will Impact was too intense, exceeding its limit, and its will, in self-protection, caused it to fall into a coma.

The Will Impact of the Black Pattern Stone Pillar's will was not blocked by the Palace Treasure; the Will Impact was of equal intensity both inside and outside the palace.

As early as when the Time Flow Rate two thousand times faster, the Blood Scythe Master had basically reached its limit. When it reached two thousand two hundred times faster, it began to tremble all over, and its bones made cracking sounds!

Now that they've reached a flow rate of 3000 times, they've completely lost consciousness.

In comparison, Yun Miao was much stronger, remaining unfazed even with Time Flow Rate of 3000 times.

However, being unconscious has its advantages. The Ancestral Dragon Clone quickly arrived beside the Blood Scythe Master, grabbed its huge scythe, and began to erase the divine power imprint belonging to the Blood Scythe Master!

However, a moment later, he forcibly severed the bond between this Supreme Treasure and the Blood Scythe Master, and left his own divine power mark on it!

Next, the Ancestral Dragon Clone did the same thing, successively stripping the Blood Scythe Master of his armor, domain, Palace Treasure, and world ring.

Immediately afterwards, the Ancestral Dragon Clone controlled the Fan Chang Palace and flew towards the outside of the Black Pattern Stone Pillar.

The Jōgan Lord had been watching the Ancestral Dragon Clone Ancestral Dragon Clone intently, exclaimed, "Ancestral Dragon! Where are you going?"

""

As he spoke, he followed the Ancestral Dragon Clone and flew away.

A moment later, the Ancestral Dragon Clone had left the range of the Will Impact and arrived in front of the Blood Bone Master!

The Blood Bone Master was stunned for a moment, then immediately said angrily, "Ancestral Dragon! You still dare to come out?"

As he spoke, he prepared to attack the Ancestral Dragon Clone!

The Ancestral Dragon Clone, however, didn't want to get entangled with it. He simply threw out a blood-red skeleton and said, "I've already released the Blood Scythe Master, so this matter is over. But if your Skeleton Race dares to provoke me again, I won't be so polite next time!"

After saying that, he turned around and flew back towards the No. 2 Black Pattern Stone Pillar.

The Blood Bone Master stared incredulously at the pitiful, blood-red skeleton before him and exclaimed, "This is the Blood Scythe Master?"

At this moment, the Blood Scythe Master regained his senses after leaving the area of Will Impact. He realized he was completely naked, down to his underwear, and had lost all the accumulation of his three Reincarnation Era. The Blood Scythe Master cried out in anguish, "Ancestral Dragon! You just wait! This isn't over!"

The Ancestral Dragon Clone ignored the Blood Scythe Master's howling. This time, he had used the Will Impact of the Black Pattern Stone Pillar to attack and rob the Blood Scythe Master, and his gains were considerable.

That scythe is a top-tier weapon Supreme Treasure, the armor is also top-tier, the palace and domain are top-tier, the World Ring contains another Peak Weapon Treasure and a top-tier armor Supreme Treasure, as well as many Supreme Treasure fragments.

Moreover, by not killing the Blood Scythe Master, they also avoided the strongest being in the Skeleton Race universe from taking action, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

In the blink of an eye, the Ancestral Dragon Clone crossed the 3000 times Time Flow Rate zone and flew to a more distant place!

At this moment, the Jōgan Lord exclaimed in surprise, "How is this possible?"

It's important to understand that a region with Time Flow Rate of 3000 times is almost the limit of the will of the Lord of the Universe, and anything beyond that represents a breakthrough of will to another level!

"Stop! Stop!" the Jōgan Lord cried out in his heart.

Possessing the will of the strongest being in the universe at the level of a universe master has always been the most prideful thing for the Jōgan Lord. Looking across the entire Universe Sea, there are no more than ten universe masters who can achieve this level.

Therefore, even though his illusions were useless against the Ancestral Dragon Clone and he was thus Ancestral Dragon Clone by it, he still believed that the Ancestral Dragon Clone only managed to withstand his attacks by relying on a powerful Supreme Treasure!

However, now that the Ancestral Dragon Clone has easily surpassed the limit of the Universe Lord, he has no choice but to believe that the Ancestral Dragon Clone's will has broken through the limit of the Universe Lord and is no less than his own.

As the Ancestral Dragon Clone drew closer to the Black Pattern Stone Pillar, the Time Flow Rate around it accelerated! The Ancestral Dragon Clone intentionally tested its limits, continuing to fly deeper inside!

When the surrounding Time Flow Rate reached 14,000 times, the Ancestral Dragon Clone felt immense pressure, as if waves of killing intent were about to overwhelm his will. He knew that this was his limit.

At this moment, Yun Miao also transmitted her voice to him. "Gulanxiu! Stop! I can't take it anymore!"

Upon hearing Yun Miao's telepathic message, the Ancestral Dragon Clone stopped. At that moment Jōgan Lord flew over from behind Ancestral Dragon Clone Ancestral Dragon Clone's clone and landed one body length in front of it.

His face was ashen, he was covered in sweat, and his whole body was trembling, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "I won this time!"

"Naive!" The Ancestral Dragon Clone sneered and retreated until he reached the area with Time Flow Rate of 12,000 times. He found a rock, sat down on it, and began to study the secret technique while tempering his will!

This area is basically the most suitable for him and Yun Miao after balancing the cultivation of willpower and secret techniques.

The Jōgan Lord also stepped back and stood not far in front of the Ancestral Dragon Clone, and began to cultivate.
