Swallowing the Stars: Starting from the Endless Dungeon

Chapter 62 Enhancement of Willpower

[Dungeon complete. Drops this time: Wood Law Affinity, Nine Revolutions Whip of Mystic Spirit, Mystic Spirit Armor ————]

Exiting the instance, Su Jing let out a breath. After killing the two ninth-tier cosmic-level beings, he continued exploring, only to be instantly killed by a massive aura he sensed. The opponent must have been the original Tri Star Domain Lord, Levi. Domain Lords were indeed beyond his current reach. Even with his understanding of the laws, the gap between him and a Domain Lord was still too great, separated by two major realms. The difference in basic strength alone was enormous. Even with the power of the laws, the sheer numerical difference made him far inferior. Su Jing wasn't worried about this; he had anticipated it. After all, the Zerg instance wasn't something that could be cleared in one go. He estimated that he would spend thousands or even tens of thousands of years in this instance.

Looking at the system drops, the only valuable item was Wood Law Affinity; the rest were useless. Choosing Wood Law Affinity, Su Jing felt his understanding of the Wood Law had become much clearer, though the improvement wasn't significant. Su Jing wasn't disappointed, after all, it was just a ninth-tier cosmic-level talent. Little by little, it was still considerable. Just like his Light Law Affinity now, if he used it to comprehend the Light Domain, the difficulty would definitely not be high. Of course, the biggest contribution was the improvement in comprehension.

Having ascertained his strength, Su Jing looked at the loot stored in the system, including the secret technique "Thunder Flash".

This was the most valuable thing Noah had dropped besides the Lightning Fruit, and it was also the secret technique he had always longed for—a powerful movement technique manual. It was thanks to "Thunder Flash" that Noah was able to persevere for so many days; otherwise, he would have completed the first pass long ago when his strength surpassed Noah's. Choosing to extract "Thunder Flash," the next moment, a complete set of secret technique cultivation methods appeared in his mind. At the same time, he was also very proficient in the cultivation of the first two levels. Compared to the numerous and complex information in the Willpower Manual, the information introduction of "Thunder Flash" was countless times simpler. "Thunder Flash" is a Domain Lord-level secret technique. The deeper one's understanding of the lightning domain, the more powerful this movement technique becomes. The first level, if successfully cultivated, can increase speed by three times, and the third level increases speed by ten times. From the fourth level onwards, one can condense a lightning phantom body, which is the ultimate expression of speed. Just like Su Jing now, his movement speed, in the eyes of ordinary people, due to visual persistence, will produce a series of afterimages, as if they were all phantoms of his body.

But in reality, no matter how fast you move, you're still just one person!

However, the lightning phantom body cultivated is different; it is a real, existing phantom god. People who cannot keep up with the speed will definitely not be able to react. Until the ninth level, one needs to have some understanding of the lightning law, and finally one can split into nine lightning phantom bodies. This secret technique seems similar to the Nine Threads Flow in the famous "Myriad Threads Flow," but in fact, they are far different. "Myriad Threads Flow" is a relatively widely circulated secret technique among immortals. The cultivation of Myriad Threads Flow requires the spatial law. The first level, One Thread Flow, alone requires a considerable understanding of the spatial law. And the highest level of "Myriad Threads Flow" is teleportation, which is one of the three major branches of the spatial law. In contrast, the ninth level of "Thunder Flash" only requires some understanding of the lightning law. If such a level encounters "Myriad Threads Flow," even the first level, One Thread Flow, cannot compare. After all, one is based on the lightning law, and the other on the spatial law. The difference between them is too great.

However, for him now, "Thunder Flash" is the most suitable secret technique. He has now comprehended the laws of lightning, and "Thunder Flash" can be cultivated to the highest level. Although it is not as good as "Myriad Threads Flow", it is definitely not inferior to his combat power. After all, "Myriad Threads Flow" is not something that ordinary people can cultivate. There are very few people in the Hengxing Star who can successfully cultivate "Myriad Threads Flow".

After successfully receiving the complete inheritance of "Thunderbolt," Su Jing chose to enter the [Riotous Slave] dungeon as his first and easiest dungeon to clear. It was the perfect place to practice his secret techniques. Of course, the most important thing now was the Willpower Manual; he couldn't wait to cultivate it. After clearing out all the enemies in the dungeon, leaving only one, which he controlled and tossed aside, with no one else to hinder him, Su Jing immediately stopped suppressing his killing intent and released it completely. Instantly, the entire secret realm was filled with blood-red light. If this happened outside, Su Jing would definitely be considered a demon. The only thing that could affect him was now under his control. He chose to cultivate the "Thousand Wills Forging Heart" first, to strengthen his will. Only with a stronger will could he better cultivate the remaining two secret techniques. So Su Jing began to draw upon a trace of killing intent according to the knowledge of the secret techniques, eroding his consciousness. At the same time, his consciousness was constructing a world-destroying mill according to the secret techniques. As the killing intent invaded his will, the world before Su Jing's eyes underwent a great change. The world before him suddenly distorted, and the originally clear scenery was covered by a thick, ink-like blood-red mist. First, there was a sharp buzzing sound that pierced his eardrums. Then, countless blurry figures slowly emerged from the mist.

The first figure was Hannah, the first person Su Jing killed in the instance, followed by a planetary-level slave and a second-tier constant-level warrior.

The figures of those he had killed in the past swept over him at this moment. Their clothes were stained with blood, their faces were ferocious, some were missing limbs, and some had a deep wound on their necks. These were all people who died by his blade. They did not roar or attack, but stared at him with empty, dark eyes, their lips moving silently, repeating venomous curses over and over again, as if they could drag him into an endless hell!

The plaza beneath his feet was no longer solid, but had transformed into a scalding sea of ​​blood. Su Jing could feel the sticky blood foam surging up constantly. Looking at everything before him, it seemed as if countless souls he had killed had come to claim his life. Su Jing's will remained clear, after all, he had only used a trace of killing intent this time, and the amount was not large, so he was very clear-headed and could feel the killing intent eroding his will. If he didn't have a secret technique, even if he could suppress it with his will, sooner or later it would be invaded deeper and deeper, and then his will would be completely destroyed!

Now, according to the secret technique, his will began to transform, becoming a giant millstone that, with the help of a special secret technique, began to crush the invading killing intent bit by bit. At the same time, the will that had been fused with the killing intent was also crushed. In this process, Su Jing felt immense pain!

This is the stripping away of will! The crushing of the soul! Repeated crushing!

The pain was constant, more painful than anything he had ever felt before. However, Su Jing was no longer the same person he had been. After countless deaths in the dungeon, he had developed a strong will. So Su Jing experienced and felt the pain at the same time, occasionally drawing in a trace of killing intent.
