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

Chapter 88 Mastering the Illusionary Sword Technique

"Boom——"

A dazzling burst of lightning instantly engulfed Yu Duan's figure.

But in the next instant, the figure vanished as a phantom.

A dazzling streak of light pierced the sky, soaring into the air in an instant before being abruptly swallowed up by a transparent object.

The next moment, the transparent object transformed into a jet-black triangular spaceship, which instantly increased its speed to the maximum.

At the same time, the solidified law runes on the spaceship lit up, instantly transforming the edge blades of the spaceship into sharp blades that cut through space, splitting several world lord-level dragons in two in an instant, and landing them at the entrance of the stone tower.

"Boom~"

At this moment, a dazzling laser beam shot out from the gate of the stone tower, severely injuring a World Lord-level dragon.

Then a 'metal dragon' with a golden body strode out of the dragon tower.

Swish!
The hatch of the triangular spaceship opened, and in an instant, Yu Duan used the World Ring to collect the Flowing Crystal.

Immediately afterwards, the hatch closed, the spaceship's speed soared, and in the blink of an eye, it left the atmosphere of Dragon Tower.

"Finally safe."

Looking down, Yu Duan saw that the Lord-level dragons were staring in fear at the sky where 'heavenly punishment' occasionally descended to kill the Immortal-level dragons, and none of them dared to chase after him.

Without the protection of the spaceship, Yu Duan would certainly not have been able to escape from the encirclement of numerous world lord-level dragons.

At the peak of the Realm Lord level, one's physical attributes alone are 10 times stronger than those at the peak of the Universe level, and one's actual combat power is countless times stronger, comparable to the gap between the peak of the King level and an ordinary Realm Lord.

Even if Kodi, with his genetic level a hundredfold, were to face a peak World Lord with his own power, he would only face certain death.

"Master, should we leave Dragon Tower Star directly, or carry out the 'Dragon Hunter' mission first?"

A natural figure emerged, along with a holographic projection of the Dragon Tower Star.

The locations of each target in the Dragon Hunter mission are marked on this holographic projection.

This information was collected and organized by Tianran when he scanned the Dragon Blood Tower.

"Why not take 1 points? It won't take more than a few days anyway."

……

In the blink of an eye, more than two days have passed.

After completing the Dragon Hunter mission, Yu Duan planned to tell Teacher Qinghuan about his trip to the Dragon Blood Pool.

A moment later, in the virtual universe, inside the palace of King Qinghuan.

"teacher!"

Yu Duan, who is 16 meters tall, walked into the palace. He was much larger than Qinghuan King.

"16 meters? Good, good, this way, the chances of fusing 10 Blood Crystals are even greater."

Even King Qinghuan stared in astonishment at Yu Duan's figure, which had increased by about eight times.

A smile appeared on Yu Duan's face, and then his figure quickly shrank, approaching King Qinghuan and saying, "I am grateful to my teacher for guiding me to obtain the opportunity on Dragon Tower Star."

King Qinghuan chuckled and shook his head: "I only told you that there are opportunities inside the Dragon Blood Tower. I didn't provide you with any substantial help, so it's nothing."

“I watched your previous qualifying match. That Kodi only mastered 11 of the most profound laws. He was able to defeat you because his law compatibility was higher than yours.”

"However, the improvement in combat power due to the compatibility with the laws is ultimately a minor matter. It won't be long before you're able to defeat him."

Even in a virtual universe, where physical attributes are provided in the same way, the degree of compatibility with laws, amplitude, and other factors will not be affected.

With Kodi's terrifying talent in the laws of space and time, and his mastery of the laws at the same level, the power of the secret techniques he unleashed was far greater than that of Yu Duan.

In fact, back in Chaos City, even with Kodi's final mastery of the laws, he was able to pass through the 9th level of the Bridge to Heaven, thanks to the compatibility of his laws with Kodi's.

"Teacher, can you guess how many fundamental laws of time I have mastered now?"

Yu Duan didn't care about losing to Kodi in this cosmic-level qualifying battle; it was just a temporary victory or defeat.

Upon hearing this, King Qinghuan smiled and said, "Since you say so, you must have made great progress. You must have mastered about 50 kinds, right?"

“Master, you are wise. Your disciple has now mastered 52 kinds of the essence of the laws of time, 16 of which are the most profound, surpassing even Kodi.”

Yu Duan, as if presenting a treasure, told Teacher Qinghuan Wang about his insights into the laws.

King Qinghuan was taken aback. He had already guessed that Yu Duan's progress was much faster than he had imagined.

It has been only about 130 or 140 years since Yu Duan left Chaos City.

In total, it takes an average of a little over ten years to comprehend the last 72 profound essences of a time law.

This rate of progress is already much faster than that of Koti.

"Do not be arrogant, do not be careless. Your teacher is waiting for the day when you surpass your teacher in the mastery of the laws."

King Qinghuan's first reaction was naturally joy, but it was immediately followed by a warning.

Given Yu Duan's talent, he shouldn't encounter any major bottlenecks until he fully comprehends the fundamental laws of the higher realms.

Perhaps in a few tens of thousands of years, I will be able to surpass my teacher.

"is teacher."

Yu Duan quickly bowed and said, "After completing the next Blood Luo World mission, I plan to go into seclusion to analyze the essence of the laws until I pass through the universe-level Tongtian Mountain, and then break through to the Domain Lord level."

"With your strength, collecting Blood Crystals is not a problem, but I have still prepared two secret techniques for you. They will be of some help to you as you travel through the Blood World."

With a wave of his hand, King Qinghuan saw two thick secret manuals appear directly in mid-air in front of Yu Duan.

"Of these two secret techniques, one is the 'Heart Control and Spirit Manipulation' manual created by my master, which is a soul-related secret technique."

"This secret technique is called the Sword of Illusion. It's not too profound and is relatively easy to master."

"With your willpower, if you master this secret technique during the qualifying battle, you can also defeat Nakoti."

Clearly, while Yu Duan didn't care about losing to Kodi temporarily, Qinghuan Wang did. In just a few minutes, Qinghuan Wang mentioned defeating Kodi twice.

"Of these two secret techniques, one can greatly enhance your strength."

"The other one is the ability to control soul servants, or temporarily hypnotize them, to help you gather information about the Blood Crystal."

"Collect as many Blood Crystals as you can; there's no such thing as too many. By the way, Blood Crystals cannot be sold or given away; that's a company rule."

In fact, what King Qinghuan said was not entirely accurate.

Blood Crystals are strictly prohibited from being sold, but if you want to give them away as gifts, you only need to apply to the Virtual Universe Company, and once the application is approved, you can give them away.

"Yes, disciple will keep in mind Master's instructions."

After accepting the two secret techniques, Yu Duan bowed to King Qinghuan and took his leave of the virtual universe.

In the blink of an eye, nearly half a month has passed.

In the training room of the spaceship dispatched by the Virtual Universe Company, Yu Duan suddenly opened his eyes, which shimmered with a dreamlike glow.

At this moment, within Yu Duan's sea of ​​consciousness, boundless spiritual power condensed, forming an exceptionally complex soul control talisman.

"I have finally mastered the two secret techniques that my teacher gave me."

With a thought, Yu Duan immediately dissipated the soul control mark, transforming it back into mental energy.

Although Yu Duan was a martial artist, the half-grade 'Eight Harmonies Yuan Chen' wine he drank in Chaos City directly elevated his body and soul, as well as his primal force and mental power, to the ultimate level of the universe.

However, since Yu Duan has cultivated swordsmanship for so long, there is no need for him to change his profession to a mentalist or mind controller.

Anyway, once you reach the World Lord level, your psychic power and the Force will merge into the power of the world, and at that time, the distinction between controllers and warriors will no longer be clear.

Especially for Illusionist martial artists, once they break through to the Realm Lord or Immortal realm, they not only excel in close combat but also in soul attacks.

"Shh!"

The door to the training room opened silently, and Yu Duan stepped out.

Immediately, the black-robed elder, a realm lord-level figure, who had been waiting at the entrance of the cultivation room, respectfully asked Yu Duan, "Has Your Highness finished cultivating?"

"Well, thank you all for waiting these past few days. I'll be setting off now to enter the Blood Luo World."

Yu Duan nodded, and the old man in black robes immediately and respectfully saw Yu Duan off from the spaceship.

At this moment, the spaceship was already hovering in space outside the Blood Luo World.

“Your Highness, we can only take you this far. To go any further, Your Highness will need to take a spaceship and enter the Blood Luo World on your own,” the black-robed elder hurriedly explained, bowing to Yu Duan.

Upon hearing this, Yu Duan replied, "Okay, I understand."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Duan had a thought, and a pitch-black triangular spaceship appeared.

Immediately, Yu Duan's figure flashed and disappeared into his spaceship, then headed straight for the Blood Luo World.

"Activate the spaceship's stealth function."

Seeing the rapidly expanding Blood Luo World before him, Yu Duan immediately ordered Tian Ran to activate stealth mode.

This Blood Luo World is not Dragon Tower Star. There are no immortal beings on Dragon Tower Star, but there are immortal gods in the Blood Luo World, so Yu Duan needs to keep a low profile.

Not long after, in a corner of the Blood Luo Continent, outside a city.

Dressed in the attire of a native of the Blood Luo world, Yu Duan walked out of the forest and headed straight for the city before him without the slightest hesitation.

This city is the main city of this vast territory.

According to the information Yu Duan knew, in order to establish a main city and become the lord of a territory, one must first be at the domain lord level, and secondly, one needs to fuse with a Blood Crystal.

Therefore, there is a high probability that these lords possess a second Blood Crystal.

A moment later, in the center of the city, inside the vast city lord's mansion.

Within this city lord's mansion, there is a martial arts training ground.

At this moment, a burly, middle-aged man at the Domain Lord level was practicing some kind of rudimentary wind-attribute spear technique.

A cyan hurricane domain surged around the middle-aged domain lord, layer upon layer, in four layers.

“Domains… are incredibly profound. I have been at the fourth level of the domain for nearly a thousand years, yet I still cannot advance any further.”

The middle-aged domain lord sighed softly.

"That's not how you use a domain!"

A voice entered the middle-aged domain lord's ears.

Instantly, the middle-aged domain lord's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly looked in the direction from which the voice came.

However, what greeted him was a dazzling, dreamlike sword light.

The sword light was adorned with thousands of dreamlike colors, containing a captivating magic that instantly plunged the middle-aged domain lord's consciousness into an illusion.

"The Illusionary Flow Technique is indeed very useful."

Yu Duan walked unhurriedly toward the middle-aged domain lord who had a blank expression.

At the same time, the enhancement of innate secret techniques and the instantaneous casting of amplitude-type secret techniques caused the intensity of consciousness to surge by 16 times in an instant.

Then, an invisible spiritual force spread out and seeped into the consciousness of the middle-aged domain lord who was completely unable to resist.

"Wen Ke greets Your Excellency," the middle-aged domain lord said blankly.

This is the most basic illusion hypnosis, but it's more difficult than soul control. Because once you've controlled a soul, the target won't resist, but illusion hypnosis doesn't have that effect; you have to keep the target trapped in the illusion.

Yu Duan went straight to the point, asking, "Do you have any Blood Crystals?"

"Yes, sir."
