Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 47 Crossing the Threshold of the Fundamental Laws of Space

"Amu, are you still going to the Giant Axe Arena? With your current strength, there's no point in participating in the life-or-death duel." After calming down, Babata looked at Shen Mu and raised his doubts.

"Even if you want to gain the attention of important figures, wouldn't it be more appropriate to pay them a visit directly and demonstrate your mastery of the laws?"

Shen Mu nodded in agreement: "That makes sense. Let's put the life-or-death battle on hold then. As for the rest, we'll talk about it after I've gained some insight into the fundamental laws of space."

While Shen Mu comprehended the laws, he had the Azure Dragon clone present. As for Shen Mu himself, he naturally focused on studying secret techniques and honing his combat experience.

……

Virtual universe, a killing field.

In the endless starry sky, Shen Mu stood tall, clad in azure battle armor.

"Setting the opponent as 1 ferocious beasts, 'Blood-Haired Mammoths,' at the first level of the Constant Star Realm!"

The surrounding environment suddenly changed, the entire space became blurred, and it instantly transformed into a grassland world.

At the edge of the grassland, one after another, blood-red behemoths appeared out of thin air, letting out deafening roars.

Countless crimson beasts trampled the earth, rushing towards Shen Mu at breakneck speed, causing the entire grassland to tremble violently. Each crimson mammoth possessed sharp, enormous tusks, with crimson runes glowing on them, as if casting some kind of secret spell.

Shen Mu went straight to meet the tens of thousands of blood-haired mammoths. His figure was like a streak of light, flashing along the fluctuations in space. With a sweep of his long spear, he could kill a large number of blood-red beasts.

The battle lasted for several minutes before it ended. After all, there were ten thousand ferocious beasts, and killing them with just a long spear was a bit slow.

On the crimson-stained grassland, Shen Mu sheathed his spear and lightly tapped his finger in mid-air: "Set the opponent: 1 'Nine-Headed Python' monsters, level one, constant star."

The scene around Shen Mu changed again, with ten thousand ferocious hydra monsters roaring and charging towards him.

Unlike ferocious beasts that fight solely on instinct, demonic beasts possess intelligence and combat experience no less than that of humans, and naturally also possess combat skills and power output commensurate with a ninth-tier star level.

Roar!Ow!

Various roars and cries echoed in this space.

Shen Mu's figure moved like a dragon as he fought among the snakes, his spear, imbued with the power of the law of water, bursting forth like a dragon's tail.

The battle lasted for nearly twenty minutes before it ended. Shen Mu then began to set up his next opponent: 1000 metallic lifeforms called "Thoraga Warriors".

As a transmigrator, Shen Mu didn't remember many details from the original story, but he remembered the opponents in the Genius Battle Trial Tower quite clearly.

The seven trial towers are: the Crimson Mammoth, the Nine-Headed Python, the Metal Lifeform Tuoluo Clan, the Powerful Cosmic Creature Feihou, the Mechanical Clan's Puppet, the Starry Sky Behemoth Cang, and the Zerg Mother Nest.

However, Shen Mu was not clear about the specific difficulty of each trial tower.

Therefore, the simplest and most direct way is to directly improve the level of the set target, pushing it up little by little from the first level of the Eternal Star, the second level of the Eternal Star, and so on. There will always be times when you can't beat them.

……

Two months later, in the killing field.

In the center of the vast desert lies a green space, above which floats a giant sphere, approximately sixty meters in diameter.

The sphere was uneven, and drops of green venom dripped down, landing on the desert with a hissing, corrosive sound.

Around the sphere, thousands of elite Zerg warriors guarded the massive structure. At the same time, a large, ferocious Zerg swarm, like a black tide, densely packed and blotting out the sky, besieged Shen Mu.

"die!"

Shen Mu let out a soft shout, and six illusory bodies condensed around him, fighting separately.

call out!

Suddenly, a dazzling beam of light pierced the sky, illuminating the vast desert and shooting towards Shen Mu.

"Too slow."

Shen Mu's six figures flew and staggered in mid-air, easily avoiding the beam of light unleashed by the insectoid's combined attack in an extremely strange manner.

Above the spherical mother nest, a queen, about six meters tall, with a body of pure white, crystal-clear skin, flew out, with a pair of butterfly-like wings behind her.

"what……"

A melodious chant, seemingly born of nature, spread out, containing an indescribable allure, making the rugged desert appear exquisitely beautiful at that moment.

An invisible force of thought quietly seeped into Shen Mu's sea of ​​consciousness.

In the endless spiritual world, a pale golden tower slowly rotates.

This Void Tower has two levels. Its entire body is crystal clear with a faint golden hue and subtle secret patterns. It appears perfect and flawless, protecting the soul core inside.

Although Shen Mu had only been practicing the "Tower of Void" manual for a few months, he successfully cultivated to the second level of the Tower Realm by relying on the strong will brought by his two deaths and rebirths, as well as his understanding of the laws of water and space.

hum!

The invisible mental force, upon contact with the Tower of Void, spread out like a thin film, pulling Shen Mu into an illusion.

Shen Mu felt the scene before him suddenly change, and he reappeared on Earth. The golden-horned behemoth raged in the sky, and he was just an ordinary warrior at the general level.

"Break it!"

Shen Mu's mental power and will surged forth, and almost in the blink of an eye, the entire illusionary world began to tremble and vanish, but it was too late.

In the instant that Shen Mu was lost in thought, the magnificent and dazzling combined attack beam instantly enveloped and annihilated him.

……

On the Star of Light, in the quiet room of the secluded manor, Shen Mu opened his eyes as his consciousness returned to his body.

"I still lost to the ninth-tier Constant Star Zerg hive. My illusion resistance is still too weak."

The two-tiered Void Tower granted Shen Mu powerful soul defense and illusion resistance, making him almost immune to soul and illusion attacks of the same realm.

Shen Mu could completely ignore the illusionary attacks from a typical ninth-tier psychic master of the Eternal Star level, even if the opponent's psychic power was 256 times stronger than Shen Mu's peak first-tier psychic power.

The first level of the Pagoda Realm provides unparalleled soul defense at the planetary level. The second level is at the eternal level, and so on. If one can cultivate to the sixth level of the Pagoda Realm, even among immortal gods, their soul defense will be among the best.

But Shen Mu's opponent was no ordinary one either; he was a ninth-tier Zerg mother hive at the Hengxing level. Every Zerg mother hive was a born illusion master, and their cultivation level was much higher than Shen Mu's.

Even with the defense of the Void Tower, Shen Mu could not completely ignore the opponent's illusionary attacks.

Faced with the siege of tens of thousands of Zerg warriors, Shen Mu was only distracted for a moment, and the result was that he was instantly killed.

"Take your time. It takes time to hone your will and cultivate the Void Tower."

During the two months of seclusion, Shen Mu's Azure Dragon clone repeatedly used the "teleportation" technique within his inner world to comprehend the mysteries of spatial fluctuations.

In the end, Shen Mu also gained some understanding of the fundamental laws of space. Although this understanding may not even be considered superficial, it still represents that he has crossed the threshold of the fundamental laws of space.

"Having been a student at the Ganwu Dojo for more than half a year, it's time to attend a class."

Back in February of this year, when Shen Mu first traveled to the universe, he also enrolled as a student at the Qianwu Dojo. Now it's September, and he hasn't attended a single class yet; he can't let this money go to waste.
