Chapter 163 Black-Patterned Stone Pillar Space
Qi Yuan looked out through the flying palace and the ninth layer of light curtain, and saw endless, dazzling light like huge blades gathering into a storm.
Endless storms filled this boundless space!
This was an immeasurably vast space, a pitch-black space filled with countless swirling streams of chaotic particles, while an endless storm of dazzling, blade-like energy swept across everything—
The area is so vast that it spans light-years with just a glance!
In this endless space, the most dazzling thing was the enormous wings in the distance that left Qi Yuan speechless!
Those wings were a billion times more dazzling than the sun!
Those blade-like lights formed two pairs of enormous wings of light spanning tens of thousands of light-years, and the source of this blade storm that swept across the entire space was these white wings.
The dazzling white wings radiated an oppressive aura, high above, like a divine dragon looking down on ants, causing Qi Yuan's consciousness to almost come to a standstill.
He dared not go any further. If he did, he would be torn to shreds by the terrifying blade light. Even with a top-tier flying palace treasure, he would not be able to protect himself.
Qi Yuan remembered that in the original story, a cosmic lord entered this place in a top-tier flying palace treasure, and then perished instantly.
Feeling the flying palace "Snowy Realm" trembling continuously, seemingly already suffering some minor damage, Qi Yuan quickly began to retreat.
When Qi Yuan arrived, the "spirit" of the core component of the Wu-Slaying Wings had already sensed the arrival of the other Wu-Slaying Wings component.
It couldn't help but get excited. It was the "spirit" of the newborn Wu Shiyu, who had been staying here alone for countless years, waiting for a new master to arrive.
It couldn't help but shout in its heart, "Hahaha, finally someone's come! Finally, I can leave this place and go out to explore!"
"However, I must properly test this newcomer. If his strength is too weak, then I'll kill him!" it muttered. "Trash doesn't deserve to use the great Wings of Slaughter!"
Suddenly, it sensed that the winged part that had killed Wu was moving away from it, and it immediately became anxious.
"Damn it! Why didn't you come in and take a look before leaving? Coward! Bastard! Ugh! I'm so angry!"
The spirit of the Wu-killing winged creature was enraged.
After leaving the cave, Qi Yuan first memorized the address, then flapped his wings, which transformed into golden blades, and slashed towards the cave entrance.
Even though the mountain rocks were incredibly hard, they didn't last long before collapsing and completely blocking the cave entrance.
Qi Yuan nodded in satisfaction. Now, even if someone passed by, they wouldn't notice anything amiss and would rashly barge in.
Once he acquires the pair of wings from the Lord of Need, no one will compete with him for the core component of the Wu-Slaying Wings.
"Let's hone our willpower in the space of the Black-Patterned Stone Pillar first." Qi Yuan shook his head and sighed. "Alas, it's a pity there's no Supreme Treasure Palace, so we can't get close to the core component of the Wu-Slaying Wings. Otherwise, there's Jie Fanzi's treasure in that passage, but unfortunately, we can't get it—"
There was no point in thinking about it anymore, so he turned and left, heading towards the spaceship.
Upon learning that Qi Yuan was heading to the spaceship, the Lord of Darkness came to meet him.
"Your plan is excellent. Honing your will will greatly help you leverage the advantages of a Phantom Warrior." The Lord of Darkness greatly approved of his plan.
Qi Yuan's will has just entered the level of the Lord of the Universe, so his advantage in terms of Illusion Warriors is not that great. He is not as powerful as when he uses the two strongest secret techniques bestowed by the universe, "Analysis of All Things" and "Soul Blade".
However, these two strongest secret techniques also have weaknesses. "Analysis of All Things" itself does not have direct attack power; it can only unleash its power when used in combination with other attack secret techniques.
"Soul Blade" is a secret technique for attacking souls, so it poses no threat to those beings without souls.
When encountering this type of life form, Qi Yuan's combat power will be greatly reduced.
Fortunately, he fused the three ultimate secret techniques of "Opening Heaven," "Evolution," and "Ending" into a single, strongest secret technique, making up for his shortcomings in physical attacks.
On the way to the spaceship, almost all the battles encountered were fought by Qi Yuan.
He honed his secret techniques in battle, witnessed all sorts of fighting styles, and looked forward to creating more ultimate moves.
Gradually, the title of Lord of Kunpeng spread throughout the cosmic sea.
Everyone knows that although the Lord of Kunpeng is a newly promoted universe lord, he has fourth-tier combat power and should not be underestimated.
Even many ethnic groups have begun to try to win him over.
After all, according to the information released to the public, the Lord of Kunpeng is a special life form with no race and fights alone.
After nearly a thousand years of travel, they finally arrived at the outer perimeter of the spaceship.
Looking out, one can see a colossal ancient ship, stretching for hundreds of millions of light-years, lying across the void, resembling an endless mountain range.
The main body of the massive spaceship was intact, but the hull was scarred and scattered debris was flying rapidly around it.
The spaceship constantly devoured the chaotic energy, forming enormous vortexes with astonishing power. Even those broken microcosms that got close were swallowed up.
Although Qi Yuan had read written descriptions of the spaceship and even seen simulated images of it, none of them were as shocking as seeing the real scene.
Seeing Qi Yuan's stunned expression, the Lord of Darkness smiled slightly and said, "You're quite shocked, aren't you? Actually, when I first saw the spaceship, I was even more shocked than you are."
He gazed at the spaceship and exclaimed, "I really don't know what kind of great civilization could create such a magnificent creation!"
Ancient civilizations are truly astonishing. How could such a magnificent civilization have vanished? The powerful beings of those ancient civilizations were many times stronger than the strongest beings in the universe today. How did they cultivate their power?
Clearly, the powerful beings of the Cosmic Sea refer to these relics from the Origin Continent as ancient civilizations, believing them to have been left behind by powerful beings from many cosmic eras ago.
Apart from the two sacred universes, no one else knows the truth about the ancient civilization.
"Let's go." The two teleported into the spaceship and began heading towards the black-patterned stone pillar space inside.
After entering the spaceship, they passed through one dangerous area after another, and the scenes inside broadened Qi Yuan's horizons.
Sometimes you can see runes that shimmer with strange light on both sides of some passages, as if they are telling ancient stories.
These runes emit a faint yet mysterious power fluctuation, and powerful individuals have studied these runes for a long time.
Some of the runes were rewarding, while others were completely unfathomable, as if they were simply drawn randomly.
Clearly, its sophistication far exceeds the capabilities of even the strongest beings in the cosmic sea.
Qi Yuan tried to analyze it using "Analysis of All Things," but found that with his current abilities, he could only analyze a very superficial part of it, and most of it was of little use to him.
They navigated through a maze of passages, occasionally encountering remnants of energy restrictions.
The Lord of Darkness was experienced and always managed to easily bypass these restrictions, allowing Qi Yuan to pass through smoothly.
Along the way, they also saw some dilapidated mechanical devices that had been eroded by time. These devices may have once had powerful functions, but now they are just ruins.
Finally, they arrived at the entrance to the space of the black-patterned stone pillar.
Upon entering the space of the black-patterned stone pillars, one can see sixteen enormous black stone pillars standing in the distance.
The stone pillar was covered with dense patterns, which emanated a profound and powerful impact of will, spreading out in all directions.
As soon as Qi Yuan approached, he felt a powerful wave of will emanating from the stone pillar. This will seemed to be scrutinizing him, causing his soul to tremble.
The black-veined stone pillars are rare artifacts within the spaceship. Each pillar is thousands of light-years tall, possesses boundless power, and cannot be destroyed or taken away.
These sixteen stone pillars together support a strange space containing multiple secret chambers, each requiring a corresponding black token to enter.
The human race calls it the "Heavenly Demon Pillar," an important place in the cosmic sea used to temper one's will.
"This space around the black-patterned stone pillars is an excellent place to temper one's will. The closer you get to the pillars, the stronger the impact on your will, and the faster the flow of time. Most universe lords reside in this area where time flows thousands of times faster. You must proceed according to your abilities and remember not to enter areas beyond your will's limits," the Lord of Darkness patiently explained. "Furthermore, many powerful beings from the universe seas temper their will here, raising the limits of their will. There are a few you need to be especially careful of. Pillar number two is the territory of the Lord of Bechi Star; he's a kind old man who often speaks to the weak." "As long as you don't disturb his cultivation, you'll be fine. Pillar Nine is the territory of the Blood Orchid Ancestor; she has an eccentric and bloodthirsty personality. However, she's a plant-based being and doesn't like to move, so as long as you avoid Pillar Nine, you'll be safe. The other one is the Rampaging Demon God; he has a strange personality and likes to change his appearance to play tricks on people. If you provoke him, you might perish. He also likes to wander around without a fixed area, making him a very troublesome fellow. Let's go to Pillar Two; with Lord Beichi Star present, the Rampaging Demon God will give him some face and won't cause trouble in this area."
The two flew towards the space of the second black-patterned stone pillar.
A powerful torrent of will surged into his mind in an instant.
This will, like a surging tide, constantly assaulted his mental defenses.
As expected, there were far more powerful cultivators in the space of the No. 2 Black Pattern Stone Pillar than in other places.
Qi Yuan also saw the Lord of Yan Ying from the Hong Alliance, but everyone pretended not to know each other, since Qi Yuan's current identity was the Lord of Kunpeng.
As for the Lord of Darkness, his identity is top secret, known only to the Lord of the Human Universe, and even the Lord of the Swallow Eagle is unaware of him.
"I didn't expect the Lord of Kunpeng to be here as well." A cosmic lord from the Divine Eye Clan looked at Qi Yuan with hostility.
"It's perfectly normal for a newly ascended universe master to come here to temper his will," another universe master chimed in.
They then stopped paying attention.
Qi Yuan gradually entered the area with a time flow rate of two thousand times. The impact on his will was already very strong here, almost reaching his limit.
Qi Yuan trembled all over, and even his vision became somewhat blurred.
He gritted his teeth and used all his willpower to resist.
In this fierce confrontation, he felt his will being constantly tempered, like a rough stone being polished and slowly revealing its crystal-clear brilliance.
He found a huge rocky mountain to settle on, entered it, and released the top-tier flying palace, entering it as well.
The Lord of Darkness glanced at him, then bid farewell and flew deeper into the darkness.
In the days that followed, Qi Yuan began to hone his will here for a long time.
Time continued to flow, and in the blink of an eye, ten thousand years had passed in the primordial universe, while Qi Yuan had been honing his skills here for twenty million years.
Under his tenacious resistance, the torrent of his will finally began to weaken slightly.
Finally, he successfully broke through his limit, and his soul felt as if a huge burden had been lifted, bringing him a sense of relief.
At this moment, Qi Yuan's will had reached the average level of a universe master.
He maneuvered the top-tier flying treasure palace deeper into the world, only stopping when it reached an area with a time flow rate more than three thousand times faster.
This action also alarmed the surrounding cosmic lords, who all turned their curious gazes toward it.
Although the Black Pattern Stone Pillar Space has the effect of enhancing willpower, it is still quite astonishing that it can raise the limits of one's willpower so quickly.
After settling down again, Qi Yuan resumed his cultivation.
He integrated the vast amount of secret techniques passed down to him by the Mountain Hermit in his mind, recalled the battles he had fought since entering the Cosmic Sea, extracted their essence, and fused them into his own cultivation system, beginning to create more and stronger secret techniques.
During the time Qi Yuan was tempering his will, his human avatar was still cultivating the Path of the Beast God within the Ancestral God Sect.
He had enough Glory Points to have over four thousand opportunities to enter the Land of Inheritance.
Therefore, he cultivated methodically, entering the inheritance ground time and time again.
Before long, the Water-Air Fusion Law also reached the seventh level.
After that, the Light-Time Fusion Law and the Thunder-Time Fusion Law both reached the seventh level.
Only four types of Beast God Paths remain on the spatial side, still at the fifth level.
Furthermore, he still had not grasped the ethereal Heart of the Beast God.
However, he was in no hurry to break through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe, so he had not yet entered the "Montuo World" virtual game. After all, entering that virtual game required complete slumber and shielding one's own soul consciousness.
He planned to wait until his willpower reached the level of the strongest in the universe and he obtained the core component of the Wu-killing Wings before comprehending the Heart of the Beast God, in preparation for breaking through to the level of the Lord of the Universe.
More than 20,000 years after Qi Yuan entered the Cosmic Sea, his wife, Sheng Guangyu, finally broke through to the level of Cosmic Venerable.
On this day, the primordial energy of the universe suddenly descended upon the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company, and its immense pressure spread in all directions, alarming everyone.
"After nearly two hundred thousand years of seclusion, A-Yu has finally broken through!" Qi Yuan's expression lit up with joy. He descended upon the headquarters and transferred all the low-level cultivators out.
