Swallowed Star: Primordial Artifact

Chapter 133 The Prototype of Secret Technique
Virtual Universe Yuxiangshan Primitive Area,

Inside Jiang Ye’s training ground.

Originally, the training grounds of each member of the original secret realm had a fixed size, but after the Lord of Chaos City made some arrangements, Jiang Ye's training ground became even more advanced than the "Killing Ground" which charged extremely high fees for external business, and the internal virtual space was infinitely vast.

"It's great to have a teacher like the Lord of Chaos City. Even a private training ground has become as luxurious as a publicly open killing field. It's free, and unlike the killing fields outside, I can arrange suitable opponents according to the progress and shortcomings of my secret creation." Jiang Ye said with emotion.

He knew in his heart that in the process of creating the secret technique, he could hardly even detect his own shortcomings. If he wanted to design an opponent on his own, it would be harder than climbing to the sky.

However, the teacher of Chaos City Lord was completely different. Chaos City Lord was the top master of the universe in the original universe. In his eyes, the process of Jiang Ye creating the secret method was like watching a child doing elementary school homework. Everything could be easily seen through.

"Om..."

In the starry sky of the universe, a mysterious wave suddenly spread out.

Immediately afterwards, a blurry shadow quietly emerged. The shadow kept twisting and changing in the void, and then gradually condensed, and a creepy alien monster appeared in front of Jiang Ye.

This monster is as big as a mountain, and its body is covered with a layer of black scales that emit a faint glow. The scales are intertwined with each other, like a layer of indestructible armor.

Each scale is engraved with mysterious and strange patterns. Those patterns seem to have life, slowly wriggling on the scales and emitting bursts of coldness.

Its head was triangular, like a sharp battle axe, and its two huge eyes flashed blood-red light, revealing endless cruelty and greed. In the center of its forehead grew a thick horn, the tip of which was extremely sharp and flashed a cold light.

Six sturdy arms stretched out from both sides of the monster's body. Each arm was as thick as a skyscraper, with knotted muscles and full of power. At the end of the arms, there were sharp claws that were tens of meters long and gleamed with a cold metallic luster. Behind it, there was a long tail covered with spikes, which swayed gently in the air, making a rustling sound.

"Starting today, I will give you alien creatures with different combat characteristics and styles every day until your secret technique is polished into a prototype."

"In the virtual universe, your basic qualities are fixed. If you want to exert stronger combat power, you can only rely on your understanding of the laws and create powerful secret techniques."

"When your secret technique has taken shape, I will arrange an opponent for you that will target your secret technique."

"When you defeat one, a new one will appear."

"If you can defeat 500 of them, it means that the secret method you created is already top-notch."

"If you can defeat 1000 of them, it means that the secret method you created has reached its peak. The secret method created by your senior brother Guiyi is at this level. Of course, if we judge accurately, defeating 1500 of them is at the level of his secret method."

"Of course, if you can defeat 2000 opponents, it means that the secret method you created has reached the ultimate level, which is the level of the secret method I created."

"Try hard, my disciple."

In the void, a vague figure spoke to Jiang Ye earnestly, and then dissipated into the air like smoke, leaving Jiang Ye standing there in deep thought.

Jiang Ye knew very well that what Teacher Hun Dun had just mentioned was the level of secret techniques that could be created under the same realm.

When those peerless geniuses are excluded and most ordinary practitioners are considered, the immortal-level perception of the laws of space and time is roughly between the 10th and 20th levels of Tongtian Bridge. In other words, using only the perception of the laws between these 10th and 20th levels, the unique skills created by practitioners of different realms will present different levels.

That is to say, it is the level that can be reached by understanding the laws between levels 10-20 and the unique skills created in different realms.

For most of the masters of the universe, even with such simple insights into the laws at the immortal level, they can easily create the ultimate immortal-level skills.

To make a simple analogy, the immortal-level secret method is the high school math problem, and the rules of the 10th to 20th floors of the Tongtian Bridge are all the high school problem-solving formulas. Different realms represent the level of academic qualifications. The Lord of the Universe is equivalent to a doctorate because of his high academic qualifications and broad knowledge. He has many solutions to the final math problem (the ultimate secret skill) using only high school problem-solving formulas.

Those high school students, relying solely on the knowledge and insights they learned in high school, occasionally had a burst of inspiration and inexplicably solved the final question, but if they were to solve a different question, they might not be able to solve it.

Of course, for powerful warriors like Chaos City Lord who are far beyond the immortal realm, the moves they use in battle are definitely not limited to the immortal-level law perception. Instead, they are powerful moves created by integrating all their own law perceptions. The depth of law perception is different, and the combat effectiveness and difficulty of creation are naturally very different.

When using the insights of the laws at the Venerable level, one can create the Venerable level's top-level secret skills and the Venerable level's ultimate secret skills. The power and difficulty of creating these secret skills will definitely far exceed the secret skills created using only the insights of the immortal level's laws.

When it comes to the level of the Lord of the Universe, it is further subdivided into the Lord of the Universe's pinnacle skills, the Lord of the Universe's ultimate skills, the Lord of the Universe's strongest secret method, and the Lord of the Universe's strongest fusion secret method.

……

"laugh……"

The Abyss Sword in hand is unsheathed. The first battle begins!
in the years to come.

Jiang Ye needs to challenge ten alien creatures from different races in the universe every day, with completely different fighting methods.

Because Jiang Ye is now creating the secret technique from scratch, the prototype of the secret technique needs to be polished, and the best way to polish it is to challenge different races and then seek inspiration from them.

……

"吭Chi"

As a dazzling white light flashed, a strange creature that was 500 meters long and shaped like a python on Earth collapsed to the ground with a bang. Its huge body hit the ground, stirring up an invisible air wave.

Jiang Ye stared at the remains of the creature that was gradually disappearing on the ground, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "What a strange creature, it looks like a python, but it abandons the conventional methods of whipping with its tail and strangling with its body, and actually uses the scales on its body as a weapon of a spiritualist to carry out long-range attacks."

Because Jiang Ye was only in the stage of polishing his secret technique, the Chaos City Lord arranged opponents of varying strength for Jiang Ye, completely random. But without exception, each opponent had a different way of attacking.

What makes Jiang Ye even more excited is that fighting with various alien races in the universe and the different fighting methods give Jiang Ye a sense of curiosity and excitement.

.........

Day after day, after Jiang Ye's fierce battles with the ten opponents carefully arranged by the Lord of Chaos in the virtual universe, he would calm down and reflect. He carefully analyzed the details of each battle, drew inspiration from the opponent's attack methods, and constantly polished his own secret ideas.

During the rest of the time, Jiang Ye continued to comprehend the laws of time and space. He also began to gradually study the three major mysteries of space law and the many subcategories of space blockade - fixed-point blockade - full-area blockade - instantaneous blockade.

However, as the research deepened, Jiang Ye became more and more aware of...

I am still very weak!
Although I can comprehend the realm very quickly, I have only been practicing for a few hundred years. The efficiency of the masters of the original secret realm of the Virtual Universe Company is far lower than mine, but they can make up for the lack of efficiency with time. They have practiced for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, and the gap between them and me in comprehension of the laws is not that big. They are all at the level of a marquis.

The top 18 or are even closer to the level of king-level comprehension. Even the first few have reached the th level of Tongtian Bridge. However, there is still an insurmountable gap between them and "Ke Di", which is the gap brought by the upper limit of talent.

After all, realm masters are not immortal and have a limited lifespan. For most members of the original secret realm master level, even if they have the advantage of realm master-level perception of the law, they are limited by their talents. In a limited time, most of them can hardly even reach the 18th level.

You know, the more you progress in your comprehension of the laws, the harder it is to advance to each level. Even the invincible kings like King Zhen Yan were stuck at the 20th level, unable to reach the 21st level for billions of years. This shows how difficult it is to advance further.

The difficulty of entering the 18th floor from the 19th floor is almost as great as the difficulty of entering the 1st floor to the 18th floor combined!
The difficulty increases exponentially.

So the 18th and 20th floors appear to be very close.

However, almost every generation of the original secret realm master has reached the 18th level, but those who reach the 20th level may appear only once in tens of millions of epochs.

…………

In the virtual universe, Yuxiang Mountain, Jiang Ye’s manor is a training ground thousands of kilometers long and wide.

At this time, the entire training ground was covered with dense metallic luster. One hundred thousand mechanical puppets made of F9-grade metal were arranged in a neat array, exuding a cold and murderous atmosphere.

Jiang Ye was dressed in a black suit, holding the Abyss-Devouring Sword, and standing in the center of the training ground with a stern expression.

"Today, I will use you to test my latest sword skills!" Jiang Ye whispered to himself. Although his voice was not loud, it echoed in this empty training ground.

More than 20 years have passed since Jiang Ye began honing his secret skills in the virtual universe training ground.

Jiang Ye finally had the most basic outline of swordsmanship. Although it seemed crude compared to the unique skills of the Palace Master of Tianshi, it was already better than the level of the "Qingfeng Swordsmanship" he had originally purchased.

"Om..."

In an instant, one hundred thousand F9-class mechanical puppets started up at the same time, light flickered on their chests, and energy quickly gathered.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar sounded, and hundreds of thousands of light beams shot towards Jiang Ye at the same time like lightning.

These light pillars intertwined and merged in the air, and finally converged into a huge light pillar with a diameter of one hundred meters, which rushed towards Jiang Ye with the momentum of destroying the world.

"Whoosh!"

Jiang Ye was wearing a starry sky cloak, and his footsteps were like a meteor across the void. He dodged one by one and managed to avoid them.

The secret escape method "Star Track".

Buzz, buzz, buzz...

"wind!"

"rise!"

An invisible airflow suddenly surged around Jiang Ye's body, and this airflow was like a nimble wind snake, surrounding his body.

Driven by the air flow, Jiang Ye's speed suddenly increased, and every movement left a trail of afterimage, which was dazzling.

The mechanical puppets reacted quickly. They immediately extended their mechanical arms and fired out blazing laser beams.

However, Jiang Ye's figure was too fast, and those laser beams missed the target, leaving only a series of charred marks behind him.

Jiang Ye shuttled through the laser rain, the Abyss Sword in his hand flashing with cold light. "Wind blades appear!" He shouted again, and with a sudden flick of his wrist, several sharp wind blades instantly condensed on the Abyss Sword.

These wind blades were crescent-shaped, with cold light flashing on the edges. As Jiang Ye swung his sword, they flew towards the surrounding mechanical puppets like a group of whistling sharp blades.

"Ding ding dang dang", the wind blade collided with the metal shell of the mechanical puppet, making a series of crisp sounds.

The puppet robot was hit by the wind blade, and its shell was instantly cut into deep holes. The internal circuits and parts were exposed, and wisps of green smoke were emitted.

But there were too many mechanical puppets. As one wave fell, another wave immediately replaced them. Jiang Ye took a deep breath, and the power of the laws of time and space around him surged.

"Yikong!"

Jiang Ye's body leaped high, and the Devouring Sword in his hand spun rapidly above his head. At this moment, Jiang Ye's body was wrapped in a layer of strong space-time power, which was like materialized light. As the Devouring Sword spun, the surrounding space began to distort, forming a huge space-time vortex.

The time-space vortex quickly spread out from Jiang Ye to the surroundings. Wherever it went, the mechanical puppets were sucked into it. Under the powerful tearing force of the vortex, the metal shell of the robot was torn apart in an instant, and the internal parts were scattered like snowflakes.

In just a moment, tens of thousands of mechanical puppets were turned into a pile of scrap copper and iron under Jiang Ye's swordsmanship.

Jiang Ye slowly landed on the ground, and the Abyss-Devouring Sword in his hand stopped spinning. He looked at the mess in front of him, breathing heavily, with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Compared to improving secret techniques, creating secret techniques is really not easy."

"Especially creating the most advanced secret method is even more difficult..." Jiang Ye shook his head slightly and sighed.

Although it was difficult to create secret techniques, Jiang Ye's progress was indeed very fast. His understanding of the laws was close to becoming an immortal king, and he had seen a lot of top secret techniques. In addition, he had the guidance of the Lord of Chaos City. How could Jiang Ye's progress be slow?
"Jiang Ye!" A blurry figure appeared above the training ground, accompanied by gusts of chaotic air currents.

"Teacher!" Jiang Ye said respectfully.

“After years of training, your swordsmanship has reached the entry level, but it’s clear that your secret method is not yet perfect. If it is perfected, it should be much stronger.

From today on, I will set up opponents targeting your various weaknesses to hone your attacking methods. It took your senior brother Ke Di more than 1000 years to defeat the opponents I set up. I am looking forward to your performance. "

One thousand five hundred years?
When Jiang Ye heard what the Chaos City Lord said, a hint of excitement and determination flashed in his eyes. He cupped his hands and said, "Disciple will definitely go all out and live up to the teacher's expectations."
