Swallowed Star: The Original Secret Realm

Chapter 158 The Ultimate Secret Technique of the Lord of the Universe
The Origin Tower, third level.

No matter how chaotic the outside world was, it did not affect Zhang Yi.

He was immersed in the creation of arcane arts.

"The laws of time and space are the two supreme laws of the primordial universe, as well as the two fundamental laws."

"I want to create a secret technique for the fusion of space and time, which will allow me to comprehend the ultimate secret techniques of other universe masters and find inspiration from them."

Zhang Yi pondered.

Collecting the ultimate secret techniques of the universe masters is quite troublesome in the original universe. After all, the ultimate secret techniques are already the strongest secret techniques of most universe masters, and they would not easily let others comprehend them.

Fortunately, he has an Origin Avatar. The Chu Yun Holy Land has existed for countless years and has collected countless secret techniques and profound arts from the Lord of the Universe. As the Third Holy Son, he can easily comprehend these secret techniques and profound arts.

Zhang Yi collected nearly a hundred ultimate secret techniques of the Lord of the Universe, all of which were related to spacetime.

"Let's begin." A hint of anticipation appeared in Zhang Yi's eyes. So many secret techniques and unique skills were bound to transform him once again.

As time passed, Zhang Yi first spent a great deal of time comprehending the ultimate secret techniques and arts collected by the Lord of the Universe, and then immersed himself in creating his own secret formula.

"Time...space..."

"The five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—constitute space."

"Wind, light, and lightning constitute time."

I don't know how long it took to comprehend and create it.

"Time and space are inherently one; the fusion of the laws of time and space is also the fusion of the eight fundamental laws."

A sudden idea flashed through Zhang Yi's mind.

He had already thoroughly understood the eight fundamental laws. Although he had not yet fully understood the laws of time and space, Zhang Yi had completely integrated the three branches of the two superior laws.

“That’s it.” Zhang Yi stood up abruptly, his “battle spear” appearing in his hand as he raised it high.

Whoosh! The shadow of the gun flashed in this void space, and a dazzling silver light appeared. The silver light seemed to contain a small universe that was being born. It swept across the void, and a ripple spread in the surrounding void.

"This must be the ultimate secret technique of the Lord of the Universe." Zhang Yi was a little uncertain. The surrounding spacetime was so stable, yet a single shot could cause spatial fluctuations, indicating that his secret technique was very powerful.

His secret technique contained a miniature universe, and although it was only in its rudimentary form, it was still incredible.

Generally, only the strongest secret techniques of the Lord of the Universe can contain a microcosm.

Of course, his secret technique only contains the rudimentary form of a small universe, and its power should not have reached the level of the strongest secret technique, but it should still be comparable to the ultimate secret technique of the Lord of the Universe.

"Let's call the first ultimate secret technique I created 'Breaking Through the Void'." Zhang Yi decided on the name. Breaking Through the Void, Breaking Through the Void, with a single thrust of his spear, he pierced through the entire space-time continuum.

"Let's try again to break through the light barrier and enter the fourth level of the Origin Tower." Zhang Yifei stood in front of the huge light barrier, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"I wonder what I can get by entering the fourth level?"

"Breaking the air!"

The spear in Zhang Yi's hand burst forth with a dazzling silver light, and the spear shadow, carrying the power of a nascent microcosm, fiercely pierced the light screen.

Boom! Cracks appeared on the originally incredibly strong light barrier, and the cracks gradually widened.

Whoosh! The entire light screen transformed into a vortex, and Zhang Yi was sucked into it with a whoosh.

On the fourth floor of the Origin Tower, the dark void was no longer replaced by a vast plaza. In the center of the plaza stood a human-like figure with a crack between his brows.

People stand quietly in the square, yet it's as if this space and time don't exist.

Whoosh! Zhang Yi appeared at the edge of the plaza. "This is the fourth level? It's not the Dark Void anymore?" Zhang Yi observed his surroundings and said in surprise, "Even the icebergs and light curtains are gone."

"The dark void is so boring, so I deliberately made this place like this. What do you think?" A familiar voice echoed across the square.

Zhang Yi looked up blankly and saw a figure appear in the center of the previously empty square.

The figure had its back to him, and the surrounding space-time was subtly trembling, making it difficult for him to see clearly.

But that familiar feeling welled up inside me, coupled with the familiar tone of voice.

"You are Shilun?" Zhang Yi looked at him in shock, unable to believe his eyes.

"Young Master is indeed clever." The figure turned around, the surrounding space and time returned to normal, and looked at him with a smile.

"It's really you."

Upon seeing that the figure was none other than Shi Lun, Zhang Yi was taken aback.

"Why are you here?"

"Weren't you inside the black metal ring?"

"Haha, young master, don't rush, I'll explain it to you slowly." Shi Lun smiled, waved his hand, and Zhang Yi appeared in front of him in a shift of space and time.

"Huh?" Zhang Yi's eyes widened. "Shi Lun, when did you become so powerful?"

It should be noted that his current understanding of the laws is comparable to that of the Lord of the Universe, and he is following the path of spacetime fusion, so his understanding of spacetime is very high, even higher than that of the Lord of the Universe.

After all, whether they comprehend the laws of time and space or follow the path of the Beast God to become the master of the universe, their ability to control time and space is a gift from the original universe, not something they inherently possess.

"I only have this ability in the Origin Hall."

The Way that the Wheel of Time does not care about.

“Young Master, I know you have many questions in your heart, and I will explain them to you.” Shi Lun waved his hand, and a round table and two stone benches appeared. “Please sit down.”

After saying that, Shi Lun sat down on the stone bench first, and Zhang Yi quickly sat down as well.

After sitting down, Zhang Yi realized that the Time Wheel opposite him no longer had the previous feeling of emptiness, but was like an unfathomable powerhouse.

“Young Master, what I told you before was partly true and partly false.” Shi Lun looked at Zhang Yi. “I am not a virtual intelligent life form. What followed you before was just a clone of my consciousness. I am a special form of life created by the master. You can think of me as the ‘spirit’ of this Origin Palace.”

“The ‘spirit’ of the Origin Palace?” Zhang Yi was taken aback.

He knew that treasures possessed spirits; some powerful treasures could develop their own intelligence. In the original work, Luo Feng's Wu-killing Wings developed a spirit.

How could the psionic energy born from such a treasure be so powerful?

And it's the spirit of this Origin Palace?
Wasn't the Primordial Temple the place where the origin of the primordial universe descended? This confused him a bit; it seemed that all of this was related to the Wheel of Time.

"Time Wheel, can you tell me everything?" Zhang Yi couldn't help but ask. "Is it because I came to the Primordial Star that the Origin Palace appeared?"

“It’s because of you,” Time Wheel said. “I was just doing what my master asked.”

"Senior Time Traveler?" Zhang Yi's heart skipped a beat. It really was him. He listened patiently.

"After you successfully recognize the Time-Space Sphere as your master, I will conduct a secret test on you according to the master's arrangement."

"The master needs a successor to inherit the master's life's work and expertise. A person without talent and strength is not qualified to become the master's successor."

The Wheel of Time paused for a moment, then continued.
