An endless Universe Ocean.
In the distant Jade Cloud Marsh, a golden warship that had been riding the wind and waves suddenly came to a stop!
"Humans! Giant Axe!" The burly True Master Reverse Wave looked towards the direction of the Black Marsh Sea, his face Extreme Point. He hadn't expected that despite his haste, he still wouldn't be able to save True Master Haiya in time.
"Brother Haiya!" In Universe Boat region even further away, a massive white shark also let out a mournful cry in an instant!
There are only three Universe Supreme Master in the entire Sea Race, and their relationship is naturally very good. In particular, the True Master Haiya and the True Master Mad Shark can be called the two pioneers of the Sea Race, fighting side by side for countless years!
Who would have thought that one day True Master Haiya would fall so suddenly!
" Primal Universe humans, I, Kuangsha, will remember you!"
The silent Black Marsh Sea above the Kurosawa Sea.
The Reflection Luo Ao, the Giant Axe Founder, and the Darkness Founder arrived last all landed together on the silver ship's rudder, which was slowly drifting with the current.
"Darkness, have you failed too?" The Giant Axe Founder had a hint of helplessness in his eyes, because he and Luo Ao had just tried to claim the silver rudder as their master, but found that they couldn't do so at all!
"No, my will is far from enough..." The Darkness Founder, dressed in a simple black coat, opened his deep eyes and shook his head directly.
"I estimate that this silver ship's rudder is another entity whose requirements for recognizing a master are no less than those of the ' Star Tower '." The Darkness Founder was proficient in the soul, and his willpower was far beyond that of ordinary strong individuals, but he was clearly still far from recognizing this silver ship's rudder as his master.
"No, its requirements for recognizing a master are somewhat lower than those of the Star Tower, but the difficulty of recognizing a master is indeed quite astonishing." At this moment, Luo Ao, who was also standing on the silver ship's Reflection, shook his head.
What is the Star Tower? It's a main weapon at the God King Level!
Even for World Lord Level to recognize a master, it requires the will of a peak Universe Venerable!
For Immortal Level to recognize a master, the conditions would likely be even more outrageous.
As for the possibility of Universe Venerable or Universe Master recognizing a master, there is absolutely no way they could! At least for the powerful beings of the Primal Universe and even the Universe Ocean, this is an objective fact.
The silver ship's rudder beneath them, while having extremely demanding conditions for recognizing its master, was something Luo Ao could clearly sense when he recognized it as his own; he was quite close to meeting the requirements!
"If I make another major breakthrough in my willpower, I should be able to successfully recognize it as my master." Over the years, he has continuously cultivated the " Heart-Tempering Song " from the " Flower Dream " ultimate technique, and his willpower has long been honed to its limit!
However, breaking through the final bottleneck is clearly not that easy.
"A breakthrough in willpower? Luo Ao, what is your current level of willpower?" Hearing Luo Ao say this, Darkness and Giant Axe were also slightly curious about his level of willpower.
The more talented a powerful individual is, the more extraordinary their willpower will generally be. However, normally speaking, it's already quite good for a Universe Master to have a peak-level Universe Master willpower; many senior Fifth-Order Universe Master are only at this level.
However, a few extremely powerful Universe Master, such as the Chaos City Lord and the former Lord of Darkness, are even more powerful and possess the will of the Universe Supreme Master at the Universe Master stage!
"My current willpower is at the peak of the Universe Supreme Master, and I'm just one step away from breaking through." There was no point in hiding his achievements in willpower, so Luo Ao spoke the truth.
The Universe Master, whose will has reached the pinnacle of the Universe Supreme Master! This is already an unimaginable achievement, but clearly, Luo Ao himself is not satisfied.
"Is the will that strong? It's still a little short. Does it mean that only Universe Master with a will surpassing the Universe Supreme Master can recognize this silver rudder as their master?" Even though the Giant Axe Founder had some guesses in his mind, he was still taken aback.
The willpower surpassing that of the Universe Supreme Master has indeed been achieved by some in the Universe Ocean. However, those powerful beings were all among the Universe Supreme Master, and they all honed their skills for many years at the Black Pattern Stone Pillar before achieving such a level of willpower.
"Pretty much. I'll try to break through my willpower limits soon." Unlike other powerful individuals who can only passively hone their willpower, he has the secret technique " Heart-Tempering Song " that he can actively use to temper his own will.
However, to successfully possess a will that surpasses one's own by two major levels is clearly not something that can be easily achieved with the aid of secret techniques.
"We only need to keep an eye on the direction this silver rudder goes; the chances of other powerful beings in the Universe Ocean recognizing it as their master are very small." Hearing Luo Ao's words, the Darkness Founder and the Giant Axe nodded in deep agreement.
The Universe Master must possess a will that surpasses that of the Universe Supreme Master.
When the Universe Supreme Master come, the requirements for their will will naturally be higher, and it is almost impossible for anyone to meet the conditions for becoming their master.
Soon, they left the Black Marsh Sea region, while the Giant Axe was also wary of the Sea Race ' potential retaliation against the Human Race.
Although the silver ship's rudder has not yet been obtained, the supreme and most Supreme Treasure Weapon of the True Master Haiya —the ' Haiya Edge' —is now a spoil of war for the Human Race!
Because the Sea Race had actively spread the news that Strongest Supreme Treasure had been born in the Black Marsh Sea, the story of the silver ship's rudder quickly spread Universe Ocean.
The first to arrive at the Black Marsh Sea and discover the silver rudder was the Third True Master of the Divine Eye Clan in the First Reincarnation Era.
Upon discovering that the silver rudder was still there, the Third True Master was overjoyed and incredibly excited! However, his joy was short-lived. Despite his repeated attempts, he ultimately failed to recognize the ship as his master.
The Third True Master, unwilling to accept defeat, again notified the First True God to intervene personally.
The First True God of the Divine Eye Clan possesses an absolute top-tier will within the Universe Ocean. According to the classification rules of the Origin Continent, he could be considered to have entered the level of ' Void True God '. However, even so, he is still far from meeting the conditions for recognizing a master!
No one can claim it as their master, and the silver rudder itself possesses boundless power. Even if a powerful being were to attempt to ram it with Strongest Supreme Treasure Flying Palace-type, it would only slightly alter its speed...
Over time, the legend of the silver ship's rudder treasure spread rapidly throughout the entire Universe Ocean, and even the powerful beings of the Universe Ocean gave it a beautiful name— the Dream Journey Time Helm!
Just like the ' Star Tower ' that stood on the Outer Domain Battlefield the Primal Universe, powerful individuals who came to claim the ' Dream Journey Time Helm ' as their master were numerous and endless. However, none of them were able to meet the requirements for claiming the master.
At first, when someone came to claim ownership, the other powerful individuals remaining on the Dream Journey Time Helm would try to interfere. Later, however, they became too lazy to interfere and instead waited to see the other party make a fool of themselves.
Of course, since the silver ship's rudder is located in the Core Land the Tilted Peak Realm, the powerful individuals who can come here are usually led by the Universe Supreme Master, so the total number of people actually trying to recognize the ship as their master is not too exaggerated.
Besides the powerful figures from the Three Great Reincarnation Eras, the powerful figures from the Two Holy Land Universes also received this message. However, even they were helpless against the silver ship's rudder.
"Oh? Another Supreme Treasure that can't recognize a master has appeared in the Universe Ocean." Having already obtained what he wanted from the Master of Nine Fiends Prison, the East Emperor Ancestor was in a very good mood lately. Upon hearing this news, he treated it as just amusement and didn't take it to heart at all.
"The conditions for recognizing a master are so harsh, could it be an Eternal True God Level treasure? Unfortunately, it's located within the Universe Ocean..." Purple Moon Ancestor could only sigh. No matter how powerful a treasure within the Universe Ocean was, it had nothing to do with him, because he couldn't use it at all.
The Mirror King Hall, within the Inheritance Space.
At this moment, the Nine Images Clone, as always, studying various cultivation techniques, while Luo Ao's Silver Moon Planet true form had his eyes closed, recalling the opening chapters of the " Flower Dream " ultimate technique.
"Will..."
"Strong people all have willpower, but the strength of that willpower varies!"
"When the weak die, everything vanishes."
"Even in death, the will of a strong person remains unbroken; even a drop of blood or a piece of scale on their body can contain a powerful, oppressive force of will."
"When the strong are alive... they clash with each other, their wills clashing. The one with the stronger will can unsettle the opponent, gaining the upper hand before even making a move. If their wills differ greatly... a natural Will Impact can render the opponent unconscious, utterly powerless to resist."
Willpower is a very transcendent force.
Even if the soul and consciousness are weak, as long as the will and inner strength are strong, one can still possess an extremely strong will! An extraordinary will!
When one's strength is weak, willpower is not very useful. It can generally only be used to resist 'illusions' and to uphold one's true nature. Once one dies, willpower naturally dissipates and has little offensive use.
But--
Upon reaching the levels of True God, Void True God, and even higher, will becomes increasingly important.
Some exceptionally strong individuals have learned, through their own exploration, how to use the will of nature to fight against and suppress their opponents. However, making better use of this will is difficult!
Because willpower is too ethereal, it is a very abstract concept.
The first step in using willpower is to transform the 'illusory' into the 'real'!
The will of a normal strong person is like a rootless duckweed; once they perish, even if they retain a divine body, that body will not generate a terrifying Will Impact. But once one's own will can completely merge with the divine body...
Then the will will have a 'root'.
Only in this way can the ' Will Secret Technique ' be used. This is a prerequisite for all will-based secret techniques, such as " Flower Dream ".
Once a person can achieve the fusion of will and body, even after death, every drop of blood, every hair, and every tooth of such a powerful being will give rise to an extraordinary will!
"My willpower has now reached its limit. Even with the help of the ' Heart-Tempering Song ' to hone it, it will still take a long time to settle and mature before a new transformation can occur."
" The Heart-Tempering Song " is a support-type secret technique. Once it is used, an invisible and powerful Will Impact will immediately descend upon the user!
This kind of Will Impact directly descending upon one's own divine body is far more direct than the external Will Impact from the Black Pattern Stone Pillar, and its effect on tempering the will is more significant and extremely fast!
The only drawback is that you have to endure that indescribable pain.
Because the Inheritance Space has Time Acceleration effect of 100,000 times, Luo Ao was able to ensure that the time consumed by his breakthrough of will was not too long.
"Once my will breaks through to the ' Void True God ' level, I will be able to formally condense the ' Flower of Will,' at which point my will can truly be used in battle."
"Now, I will rely on the ' Heart-Tempering Song ' to continue honing myself time and time again..."
Years passed.
Relying on the Time Acceleration of the Inheritance Space, he constantly endured the Will Impact brought by the " Heart-Tempering Song ". In the later stages, even his other clones were unable to cultivate or move normally due to the discomfort.
When tempering one's will, it directly affects all the clones. Even the Nine Images Clone are no exception.
Previously, Luo Ao was not in a hurry to break through his will, Will Impact during cultivation was still very small, not affecting his normal cultivation much.
This time, however, he was pushing himself to his limits as much as possible. Tempering his will under extreme conditions meant he couldn't afford to be distracted by cultivation.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh--"
The terrifying Will Impact surged like waves, one after another, relentlessly crushing Luo Ao's own will.
Finally, after a certain period of time, it reached a critical point on the verge of collapse!
"Ah!!!"
All the clones began to roar wildly, as Luo Ao was frantically pushing his limits!
The massive divine body of the Flame God Clone trembled violently, causing towering waves to surge in the Endless Nether Sea far away in the Primal Universe! The other eight Reflection Clone summoned by the Nine Images Clone simply collapsed and dissipated!
The Reflection Clone only needs a wisp of consciousness from the Nine Images Clone to maintain its normal existence. However, the Nine Images Clone themselves have already transformed into their most relaxed and unburdened original forms, so they are naturally unable to maintain the existence of the other Reflection Clone.
Under this constant pressure of pushing his limits, his will finally reached a completely new realm...
"So close!"
"Almost there!"
Luo Ao's will roared madly.
A furious roar!
He had a feeling... he was about to break through his limits, just a little bit more, and he would truly break through!
" Luo Ao through! Aaaaaaahh...
boom!!!
It was like the birth of a primordial fire!
It was as if the endless Chaos world had instantly evolved into a universe of billions of stars and countless living beings...
This moment!
Luo Ao's will cheered and leaped with joy, feeling a sense of exhilaration like "fish can leap freely in the vast sea and birds can fly freely in the high sky," as if a divine dragon trapped in shallow waters had finally struggled out of the shallows and soared into the heavens to roam freely!
An incomparably powerful will emanated from all his clones!
"It's a success."
"Hahaha... Success!" Luo Ao couldn't help but cheer with joy. After a long period of tempering, his will had finally undergone its ultimate transformation!
"After this breakthrough in willpower, it seems that my deduction of Laws and secret techniques has become much easier..."
At this moment, he clearly felt a surge of secret techniques and inspirations welling up in his mind, greatly increasing the speed at which he deduced and thought about the Laws and secret techniques.
Willpower is the commander! Consciousness is the general! Divine power is the soldier!
A transformation of will...
It is highly beneficial for both cultivation and combat.
For Luo Ao, firstly, after his will breaks through, he can recognize the ' Dream Journey Time Helm ' as his master, and secondly, he can truly cultivate the heaven-defying ultimate skill, " Flower Dream "!
The power of will is elusive and intangible.
Even the most powerful defensive Supreme Treasure cannot withstand this unique attack!
"Haha, after this breakthrough in willpower, I am now truly invincible in the Universe Ocean." Luo Ao felt extremely happy at this moment.
Once he has fully mastered the Will Secret Technique, even if other powerful individuals hide in the Supreme Treasure Palace, it will be of no use.
