Swallow the starry sky, grind to become the strongest in the universe

Chapter 179 Black-Patterned Stone Pillar Region: Ten Thousand Times the Acceleration of Cultivation

After finishing his drink, Master Peng spoke first: "Eternal, what are your goals for this trip to the cosmic ark?"

The outer region of the cosmic ark is alright. Those who venture here are not considered strong even among the masters of the universe. With Yu Duan's strength, he is already not considered weak.

Inside the spaceship, however, were powerful figures from various forces across the universe.

Even a fourth-order universe master wouldn't be considered a strongman here.

However, the greatest danger within this inner domain is not the powerful figures, but the internal environment of the spaceship.

Even the strongest beings in the universe could perish if they are not careful.

"I plan to go to the Black-Patterned Stone Pillar area to cultivate in seclusion and temper my will. I don't have any intention of exploring dangerous places."

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Dragon Journey and the Lord of Penggong breathed a sigh of relief.

The Black Striped Stone Pillar area is good; there's not much danger there.

The Black-Veined Stone Pillars region consists of 16 black-veined stone pillars, each thousands of light-years high. Spacetime is distorted in the area near these 16 pillars, making teleportation impossible.

This area is one of the few well-known areas within the inner domain of the spaceship that is free from danger.

Of course, battles between the strong are not included, otherwise there would be no safe zone in the entire universe.

“That’s a coincidence. I’ve been cultivating in the Black Pattern Stone Pillar area all these years. Why don’t you come with me, Eternal?” said a alien universe lord from the Hong Alliance.

This is the Lord of Yan Ying, a veteran figure in the Hong Alliance.

At that time, the Hongmeng was not a one-man show for the human race, because no true god had been born among the human race.

In terms of strength, this Lord of the Swallow Eagle is also a top-tier existence among the fourth-tier beings. He has created multiple sets of the strongest secret techniques and possesses numerous methods, making him extremely adept at preserving his life.

With exceptional experience and strength, even the universe's ruler of the human race treated this Lord of the Swallow Eagle with great courtesy.

"In that case, thank you very much, Lord Yan Ying!"

Yu Duan did not refuse and thanked the Lord of Yan Ying. In any case, Yu Duan had no intention of seizing treasures or fighting in the Cosmic Sea this time. He just wanted to cultivate in seclusion here.

The Lord of Dragons nodded: "With Yan Ying here, I feel at ease."

“Yongheng, Yan Ying has been cultivating in the Black Pattern Stone Pillar area for many years and is very familiar with the strong people here. If there is anything you don’t understand, ask him.”

"If there is any danger, call for help immediately. Peng and I have been staying in the inner domain of the spaceship for many years."

Upon hearing this, Yu Duan quickly nodded and said, "Okay, I will."

Upon hearing this, several alien universe lords showed envy in their eyes.

Only the newly crowned rulers of the universe, the human race, receive such treatment.

Otherwise, how could one possibly enter the cosmic sea for refinement without diligently settling into the primordial universe for hundreds of millions of epochs?

……

The distance from the human settlement on the spaceship to the Black-Patterned Stone Pillars region is not short.

Even if the Lord of Yan Ying were familiar with the route, it would still take several hundred years for Yu Duan and the Lord of Yan Ying to travel together.

"Eternal, you should have already seen the information about this Black Patterned Stone Pillar area. The area with Black Patterned Stone Pillar No. 2 is the location of the Lord of Beichi Star, and the area with Black Patterned Stone Pillar No. 9 is the location of the Blood Orchid Ancestor..."

In the area of ​​the black-patterned stone pillars, there are three powerful beings.

The strongest of them all, the Star Lord of Beichi, was kind-hearted and often gave public sermons, sharing his understanding of the Black-Patterned Stone Pillar with others.

Then came the rampaging demon god and the Blood Orchid Ancestor.

The Blood Orchid Ancestor is bloodthirsty and a special plant-type life form. It prefers to stay in the area of ​​Black Striped Stone Pillar No. 9 and does not move.

Therefore, the area around the No. 9 black-patterned stone pillar is a forbidden area, and there is no danger as long as you don't get close to it.

The most troublesome are the rampant demon gods, who are powerful, homeless, and unpredictable.

He treats people he finds agreeable with great friendliness.

But if they don't like you, they might kill you without saying a word, and they love to change their form to tease newcomers.

"Rampaging Demon God..."

Yu Duan had a sudden thought, recalling the information about this rampant demon god.

This rampaging demon god, among the strongest beings, can only be considered an ordinary first-rate one.

However, this rampaging demon god possesses an extremely powerful suit of armor called the Blood Sea Demon Armor, which can unleash a terrifying impact of will once it engages in battle.

The strongest beings could withstand such an impact of will, but the ruler of the universe would basically be slaughtered in front of him.

"River Spirit, if there were a supreme treasure armor with the ability to impact willpower, and you devoured it, could you also have that effect?"

"Of course, Master!"

The Spirit of the Holy River was very confident, saying, "My true form is an all-around treasure, capable of attacking, defending, controlling, escaping, healing injuries, and even launching willpower attacks, among other things."

Although Yu Duan, based on his experience as a transmigrator, could tell that the River of Life should be an eternal-level single-unit mechanical treasure.

However, Yu Duan could not accurately determine what level the River of Life was at this level; he could only speculate.

However, according to He Ling, his master was one of the two strongest among the twenty-four commanders, and one of the general's two deputy generals.

Therefore, this River of Life should be one of the most top-tier treasures among eternal-level artifacts.

"If I ever have the chance to get my hands on a similar artifact that can impact one's will, that would be wonderful."

It would take Yu Duan and Lord Yan Ying several hundred years to travel together. Therefore, Lord Yan Ying also took the opportunity to carefully explain to Yu Duan the powerful figures who frequently appeared in the entire Black Pattern Stone Pillar area, as well as various precautions.

……

In the blink of an eye, about 600 years had passed.

Yu Duan and the Lord of Yan Ying finally arrived at the area of ​​the black-patterned stone pillars.

From a distance, the 16 towering stone pillars stand tall, their tops and bottoms obscured by a thick fog.

"Eternity, what is your will?"

The two transformed into rainbow light and approached the safest area, the No. 2 black-patterned stone pillar.

At the same time, the Lord of Yan Ying was also inquiring about Yu Duan's level of will: "I usually cultivate in the area of ​​1100 times the time flow rate. This level of will impact does not affect my comprehension of the stone pillar's secret patterns."

"If I get closer to the deeper areas, the impact on my will will affect my cultivation. If I reach the vicinity of the limit area, I can only concentrate my mind and resist the impact on my will, and I can't do anything else."

Upon hearing this, Yu Duan smiled and said, "I was once at the level of a Universe Venerable, and my will was comparable to that of a Universe Lord. I should be considered quite good."

"Willpower breaking through the bottleneck? Incredible, incredible. There are nearly a hundred universe lords in this No. 2 black-patterned stone pillar area, but only three of them have the ability to break through the bottleneck with their willpower."

Yu Duan smiled and said nothing more, instead following Lord Yan Ying deeper into the area.

After the time flow rate exceeded a thousand times, the Lord of Yan Ying's expression changed somewhat.

“Eternity, this rock is where I usually cultivate. Do you want to continue deeper, or will you stay here and cultivate with me?”

The Lord of the Swallow Eagles pointed to a huge rock that orbited the No. 2 Black Pattern Stone Pillar, much larger than a planet.

"Thank you, Yan Ying. I won't bother you any longer. I need to hone my willpower, so I need to get as close to my limit as possible."

After bidding farewell to the Lord of Yan Ying, Yu Duan continued deeper into the area of ​​the black-patterned stone pillars.

An unfamiliar ruler of the universe usually doesn't attract much attention.

But as Yu Duan ventured deeper into the area of ​​the black-patterned stone pillars and endured even more powerful impacts from their wills, the expressions of these universe lords all changed.

"Who is that Lord of the Universe? His body is surging with chaotic energy, and he possesses the most powerful movement technique?"

"I don't recognize him, I've never seen him before. A newly promoted Universe Lord shouldn't have such willpower. Could it be that a Quasi-Universe Lord from one of the two Holy Lands has broken through?"

The so-called Holy Land Universe is merely a miniature universe of the Void God.

For life forms within a small universe to break through, they need the descent of the origin of the sacred universe to infuse their divine bodies.

The origin of the Holy Land universe is finite, and the Holy Land's founder could not allow all beings who had reached a certain level of enlightenment to break through.

This led to the bizarre realm of 'quasi-universe master'.

As Yu Duan continued to delve deeper, the flow of time around him began to accelerate rapidly.

3000 times, 4000 times... the flow of time is getting faster and faster, and in the eyes of others, Yu Duan's flight speed is also getting faster and faster.

A region with a time flow rate 3000 times faster is basically the limit for the Lord of the Universe.

As for the True God-level will region, it has a time flow rate of over ten thousand times.

The difference between the ultimate level of the Lord of the Universe and the initial level of the True God is not small; otherwise, how could it be called a bottleneck?
As Yu Duan crossed the threshold of ten thousand times the time flow rate, the cosmic lords who had just been discussing Yu Duan turned somewhat pale.

"Could that be... a transformation of the rampaging demon god?"

Some people remembered the eccentric habit of the rampaging demon god, who liked to transform and play tricks on people, and their faces turned ugly.

Upon hearing this, the others thought it was increasingly likely.

……

A region with a time flow rate of 1.1 times, atop a large rock.

Yu Duan's figure transformed into a streak of light and landed here.

Instantly, boundless chaotic energy spread out, completely enveloping the entire area and preventing others from probing it.

"This level of impact on willpower is about right."

With Yu Duan's soul consciousness condensed, resisting this level of will impact is not a problem.

If we continue to delve deeper, it will affect the cultivation of the original being and other avatars in the primordial universe.

"Boom!"

Yu Duan sat cross-legged, his consciousness collapsing and condensing into a single point, while his gaze also fell upon the black-patterned stone pillar.

Countless mysterious ancient marks and patterns are entangled on this stone pillar, extremely complex, and seem to contain some kind of special power.

"River Spirit, do you recognize this black-patterned stone pillar?"

Faced with Duan's question, He Ling's childish voice rang out: "Master, my only impression of this place is that when the founder of the ancient mountain took me away, we passed through here."

"Are there any other treasures in the place where you were born?"

"Some of my masters, I didn't have a trace of source at the time, so I couldn't devour those treasures at all. They were all taken away by the founder of the ancient mountain."

"Then the founder of the ancient mountain died, and the servants of the primordial universe came and took away those treasures."

“I was afraid of being suppressed by the primordial universe, so I hid.”
