Chapter 18 Destroying the Giant Beast Statue, Five Years of Settlement

Jinlan Universe Kingdom, a secret realm of the universe.

Within this secret realm lies an incredibly vast continent, seemingly endless, yet completely suspended in the void.

On this floating continent stand a series of enormous, uniquely arranged canyons.

At that moment, a blood-red, disc-shaped spaceship was approaching from a distance and began to decelerate. After a short while, it hovered at the edge of one of the canyons.

"Whoosh!"

The hatch opened.

Lu Ming flew out of the spaceship along with the accompanying escort personnel.

"Your Highness Lu Ming, please look." A golden-haired Realm Lord-level expert leading the way pointed ahead, "That's the 'Destroyed Valley' that His Majesty recommended you visit. In this valley stands a colossal statue of the Destroyed Beast, personally crafted by His Majesty."

"The Destroyer Beast?" Lu Ming looked into the distance and could vaguely see a huge, blurry shadow in the canyon.

This is a special secret realm directly under the jurisdiction of the King of Jinlan Kingdom. Generally, only powerful individuals can come here. Lu Ming was only qualified to come here to cultivate because of the order given by the King of Jinlan Kingdom.

After flying for a while, Lu Ming arrived at the entrance of the canyon and found many other cultivators with strong life force, many of whom were world lords or even immortal beings.

"Is this the colossal beast statue that King Jinlan specifically asked me to come see?" Lu Ming ignored the other cultivators and focused his gaze on the incredibly massive Destruction Beast statue in front of him.

This is a strange, colossal statue that is entirely blue, stretches for tens of thousands of kilometers, and looks somewhat like a gorilla.

The entire statue is incredibly lifelike, emanating a breathtaking aura that seems to carry an angry roar in your ears.

"roar……"

In a daze, it seemed as if the statue had truly transformed into a living, monstrous beast, roaming freely in the void of the universe, plucking stars and seizing the moon with carefree joy.

The Destroyer Beast is one of the twelve peak bloodlines of the Starry Sky Beasts, ranking alongside the Golden Horned Beast! However, it is not a devouring type of behemoth.

It belongs to the category of "lightning and time" behemoths.

He was born cunning and cruel.

It possesses only one innate secret technique—time freeze!

With its cunning and ferocious nature, coupled with the secret technique of "time freeze," the Destroyer Beast possesses astonishing combat power and exceptional escape abilities. It is comparable to the Golden Horned Beast and the Flame Star Beast. This is an extremely powerful life form in the universe.

At this moment, beneath this enormous, destructive beast statue, hundreds of figures, like ants, sat cross-legged, quietly observing and comprehending the mysteries contained within the statue.

Lu Ming also began to carefully examine this extraordinary statue of the Destroyer Beast.

"Ugh!"

"roar!"

The ancient, desolate roar of a colossal beast seemed to have traversed billions of years, faintly echoing in his ears.

I just focused my attention on watching.

His consciousness was involuntarily drawn in.

"Whoosh..." His consciousness was drawn to the mystical runes of law flowing on the two forelimbs of the colossal beast statue. He seemed to see the birth of a sea of ​​lightning, and the endless cycle of the river of time. The secrets of the universe seemed to be contained within them.

"Hmm, this is it!"

After regaining his senses, Lu Ming was shocked. Now he finally understood why the King of Jinlan had specifically sent him here.

He possesses the talent of "Wild Heart," making him naturally well-suited to cultivating secret techniques such as "Eight Forms of Thunder Beast" and "Secret Manual of Time Beast."

Just now, he instantly entered the 'Heart of the Wild' state. In this state, his comprehension of secret techniques was a thousand times better than before.

"Although the 'Time Beast Secret Manual' records many secret techniques, the one most suitable for me at this stage is undoubtedly the 'Destruction Manual.' After all, the 'Destruction Beast' itself starts with the fundamental law of lightning and then delves into the fundamental law of time."

The Destroyer Beast focuses on lightning and time, which is exactly the same as Lu Ming's current cultivation path, making them highly compatible.

Lu Ming's original cultivation plan was to gradually abandon the "Eight Forms of the Thunder Beast," which had a limited upper limit, and switch to cultivating the more powerful "Destruction Manual." Now, with the assistance of the Destruction Beast statue here, his cultivation efficiency will definitely increase exponentially!

"Lightning...time..."

Lu Ming continued to stare at the statue in front of him, his mind gradually emptying, his consciousness completely immersed in the giant beast statue, and he devoted himself to comprehending the fundamental laws of lightning and the laws of time.

At first glance, this statue doesn't seem special, but upon closer inspection, one will discover... every part of the "Destroying Beast's" body, every texture, and the simple or complex laws and secret patterns on its body.

All of them are mysterious and unfathomable.

According to Lu Ming's guess, when the King of Jinlan Kingdom personally made the statue, he probably put in a lot of effort.

While it is far less effective than the Chaos Monument of the primordial universe in assisting cultivators in comprehending the fundamental laws, it still greatly improves Lu Ming's comprehension speed.

Moreover, the most precious aspect of this statue is not its ability to enhance cultivators' comprehension of the fundamental laws, but rather its ability to truly reveal the nature of the "Destroying Beast" and restore its true divine essence.

The key to mastering the "Destroying the Secret Scripture" lies in grasping its essence.

"In the 'Destroying the Saha Secret Manual,' there is an extremely powerful combat technique called 'Destroying the Saha True Body'... I originally planned to avoid this technique for the time being, but now I'm confident I can successfully master it!"

The more difficult a secret technique is to learn, the greater its power usually is.

Like the "Destroying True Body" that Lu Ming longs to master, once mastered, one can transform into a Destroying Beast, at which point every punch and kick will contain immense power.

However, even just the first level of this secret technique requires a considerable understanding of the fundamental laws of lightning, as well as a basic grasp of the fundamental laws of time. Moreover, simply meeting the requirements for understanding the laws is not enough; one must also comprehend a wisp of the divine essence of the Destroyer Beast.

This requirement sounds similar to the requirement of comprehending the "Beast God's Intent" in the Path of the Beast God.

In fact, the process of learning secret techniques like the "Time Beast Manual" is itself a process of determining whether a cultivator is suitable for cultivating the path of the Beast God.

Although mastering the "Time Beast Manual" doesn't guarantee success in becoming a Beast God, the probability is still many times higher than for others.

One day, two days, three days... time passed day by day.

According to the words of King Jinlan, Lu Ming has plenty of time to stay here until the end of the Genius Battle.

"How could the patterns on the arms of the Destroyer Beast cause fluctuations in the laws of time? Hmm, the patterns on its two arms seem different, but they can be cleverly combined together..." With years of careful observation and analysis, Lu Ming not only became more familiar with some of the Destroyer Beast's charm and nature, but also gradually discovered some of the substance contained in the patterns of this statue.

The fact that he was able to discover these things shows that his understanding of the laws has indeed improved significantly compared to when he first arrived.

After all, the so-called "secret patterns" have always been there; the real difficulty lies in whether you can "understand" them and discover them.

Being able to "understand" it naturally means that you have grasped the laws symbolized by these secret patterns.

In the blink of an eye, almost five years have passed.

The internal cycle of war within the Jinlan Universe ended a year and a half ago. Other universe nations, whether quickly or slowly, have also all entered their final stages.

The date for the final competition is drawing ever closer.

At this moment, Lu Ming's comprehension of the two fundamental laws had reached an astonishing level.
