Chapter 183: Chapter 183: 3 Months
In the Milky Way, where the strongest were no more than World Realm experts, not a single faction could intimidate Tianluo.
He wouldn’t even have to put in much effort. For every person Li Yang found for support, he would just bribe them away, buying himself more time.
Once the newbie protection period for Earth, enforced by the local branch of the Human Race Saint Hall, expired, it would be his time to seize its treasures and annihilate the planet!
"Time to cultivate!"
Dealing with Earth took only a fraction of Young Master Tianluo’s time; he focused most of his energy on his own cultivation.
...
Three months passed in the blink of an eye.
Inside the combat space, Li Yang was training frantically.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
He brandished his spear, locked in a frenzied battle with the virtual opponent. As the spear moved, flashes of the Thunder Law flickered across its surface.
Throughout the fight, Li Yang was completely on the defensive, his injuries growing more and more severe.
But his eyes only grew brighter.
’Almost there, just a little more!’
He thrust his spear out again and again. Then, in one instant, the fluctuations of the Thunder Law on it suddenly exploded in intensity!
BANG!
For the first time, the virtual opponent was affected. As Li Yang was sent flying backward, the virtual figure was actually forced back a few steps as well.
This was a virtual opponent with the strength of the Early Longevity Realm!
Its power should have completely overwhelmed Li Yang. Yet, he had just managed to withstand its attack and even force it back.
"Haha, I did it! The first form of the Hexagram Spear!" Li Yang’s face was filled with excitement.
Once the first form of the Hexagram Spear was mastered, its wielder was said to be invincible within the Law Realm!
And now, after four months, Li Yang had finally mastered it completely!
’This is Hell Mode, against an opponent at the Early Longevity Realm. I’m still no match for it. Let’s try the Hard Mode opponent now.’ With a thought, Li Yang switched to the combat space’s third mode.
Three months ago, he could defeat the Hard Mode opponent, but it took him over ten minutes.
The virtual opponent appeared.
SWOOSH!
Li Yang swung his spear. The Hard Mode opponent had no way to resist and was killed effortlessly!
An instant kill! The entire process took less than a second!
’So this is what it feels like to be invincible in the Law Realm?’ Li Yang mused, his smile widening even more.
In reality, his own personal strength hadn’t increased by a huge margin, but the attack power of the Hexagram Spear was simply terrifying!
With the first form completely mastered, his Body Technique and attack power had instantly risen to a new level!
The so-called invincibility in the Law Realm meant that unless a Longevity Realm expert intervened, no one else in the Law Realm could kill him!
"You’ve mastered the first form of the Hexagram Spear?"
Exiting the Virtual Combat Space, Soul Ink was a little surprised to hear what Li Yang said.
However, he just nodded calmly and said, "Hm, not bad. Keep up the good work."
Inside, however, he was muttering, ’Is Li Yang’s comprehension this terrifying? Mastering the first form of the Hexagram Spear in four months... that speed is just astounding. Not even the Thunder Star Beasts could do that.’
But he didn’t know that Li Yang had cultivated the Cultivation Technique from that mysterious small sword.
Li Yang thought to himself, ’As I cultivate the Soul Chapter, I could feel my soul gradually strengthening. That stopped ten days ago. It seems I’ve reached the limit for the Law Realm.’
The more he learned about the Cosmos, the more he understood, including information about the soul.
Without exception, all powerful geniuses were born with strong souls. The stronger one’s soul, the faster they could comprehend laws and the faster they could master Cultivation Techniques!
As for ways to strengthen the soul, Li Yang had looked it up. There were simply no such Cultivation Techniques in the entire Cosmos.
It was only after learning this that he truly understood how heaven-defying the Cultivation Technique from the mysterious small sword was! It could actually strengthen his soul!
As his soul grew stronger, he could clearly feel his Thunder Star Beast clone comprehending the Thunder Law faster, and his own progress with the Hexagram Spear was accelerating as well!
’I must never let any information about the mysterious small sword get out, especially not about the Cultivation Technique inside,’ Li Yang thought grimly.
He wouldn’t reveal this matter to anyone until he was powerful enough, not even to Soul Ink.
’My soul is strong, and I have the Thunder Star Beast clone. In another month, my Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon clone will be ready! Then, my progress in the Space Law will also skyrocket!’
Li Yang took a deep breath. ’Once my strength reaches a certain level, I’ll find an opportunity to join one of the major powers.’
In the Cosmos, geniuses were held in the highest regard.
The only way to counter Tianluo’s suppression was to become a peerless genius, to draw the attention of the major powers and have them recruit him.
Of course, the current Li Yang had not yet met that requirement.
"Back to training!"
Then, Li Yang once again dove into a frenzy of cultivation, beginning his battle against the Early Longevity Realm virtual opponent!
This was a level of power that had once seemed completely unstoppable to him, but now, he could just barely hold his own.
Before long, he would likely be able to fight it on equal footing, his strength truly reaching the Longevity Realm!
...
A magnificent palace stood in stark grandeur. Within its halls, powerful experts came and went.
One could feel the terrifying fluctuations of power radiating from each of these experts.
Experts at the Divine Realm!
This magnificent palace was actually home to numerous Divine Realm experts!
BOOM!
Suddenly, an incredibly terrifying pressure descended. An immense face materialized in the void.
The face was formed entirely of air currents, its massive features looking down upon the many Deities below.
Upon seeing the enormous face, all the Deities showed expressions of utmost reverence and said in unison, "Greetings, Yangyuan Emperor!"
Yangyuan Emperor, the ruler of the Yangyuan Star Continent, a terrifying existence with strength surpassing the Divine Realm!
This was actually his palace!
The massive face looked down and announced, "The Yangyuan Martial Arts Hall is to recruit one hundred thousand new geniuses at the Law Realm, selected from the various galaxies. You are to make the arrangements."
’The Emperor is recruiting talent?’
’One hundred thousand all at once?’
Hearing the Yangyuan Emperor’s words, the many Deities below were stunned.
The entire Yangyuan Empire had only ever cultivated a few thousand Law Realm geniuses in total, and the selection process for each had always been incredibly strict. Why the sudden need to recruit so many?
One hundred thousand was more than ten times the total number of geniuses they were currently training.
But they dared not say a word, immediately responding with reverence, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
HUMMM...
The massive face dissipated, and the surrounding void grew calm again, as if nothing had ever happened.
In less than half an hour, news of the Yangyuan Empire’s plan to recruit one hundred thousand geniuses spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of the Yangyuan Star Continent. It sent shockwaves through the continent’s countless galaxies!
