This time, it took him more than ten years outside, but actually more than 100,000 years inside!
When Lu Ming opened his eyes again, his eyes seemed to have accumulated endless years, becoming more profound and reserved.
The oppressive pressure on his soul that had previously made it difficult for him to move was still heavy, but it could no longer hinder his actions and thoughts.
"Ten thousand years... I've finally gotten used to it."
He gently exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling the transformative change in his will.
The strength of his will now is many times stronger than when he first entered the Seven-Colored Space!
"continue!"
He controlled the Nine Dragons Palace and, with even greater confidence, drove forward once more.
However, reality dealt him a heavy blow.
This time, he only advanced a very short distance, when the flow of time increased from eight thousand times to approximately eight thousand and fifty times—
"Om-!"
An immense pressure, far exceeding any previous moment, like the power of the entire cosmic ocean instantly condensed, crashed down upon his soul and will!
"Uh!"
Lu Ming groaned, his face turning deathly pale. His newly enhanced willpower seemed so fragile in the face of this sudden, exponentially increasing pressure!
A tearing pain shot through the core of his consciousness, freezing his thoughts almost instantly. The Nine Dragons Palace also trembled violently and froze in place.
He had no doubt that if he forced himself forward even a fraction of an inch, his soul might be crushed and annihilated by this indescribable pressure!
"I rely on!"
Lu Ming couldn't help but curse under his breath, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
"The pressure increases exponentially as we go on?!"
Chapter 152 Hundreds of Millions of Years
From 8,000 times to 8,050 times, the time flow rate only increased by one-fiftieth, but the intensity of the soul pressure increased several times over!
This improvement far exceeded his expectations!
He originally thought the pressure would increase linearly or polynomially, but he didn't expect that the difficulty would soar exponentially as he approached the final region of the "source"!
This means that every step forward requires a qualitative leap in his willpower! And the improvement of willpower becomes more and more difficult in the later stages.
Looking at the deeper layers of seven-colored light that seemed so close yet so far, Lu Ming's expression became extremely solemn.
He knew that reaching the ultimate "source" would probably be a thousand times more difficult than he had imagined.
This is not just a test of endurance, but also the ultimate challenge to the limits of willpower!
He slowly manipulated the Nine Dragons Palace, retreating to an area with less pressure, and sat down cross-legged again.
The previous ease was gone from his eyes; in its place was an unprecedented focus and determination.
"So what if it's exponentially rising..."
He muttered to himself, a powerful conviction burning in his eyes.
"Perfect opportunity! I'll use this chance to hone my will to its true peak!"
Far from being intimidated by the exponentially increased difficulty, he was instead filled with boundless fighting spirit.
"I can take advantage of the accelerated time here, as well as the immense pressure of will, to create an even more powerful secret technique!"
He knew that while sheer willpower could improve performance, its efficiency was limited.
Creating secret techniques, especially profound ones, is itself the ultimate tempering of will, comprehension, and understanding of laws!
Creating secret techniques in such extreme conditions yields twice the results with half the effort!
"My previous works, 'The Radiant Calamity' and 'Cosmic Prison,' were powerful, but they relied more on the immense divine power and special methods."
"And the cosmic prison was not something I created myself, but was given to me by the original universe."
Lu Ming's mind raced.
"This time... I will create a true, pinnacle secret technique belonging to the level of a universe master!"
"The most powerful secret technique of the Lord of the Universe!"
His goal is to reach the pinnacle of the realm of the Lord of the Universe!
Once this secret technique is created, its power will far surpass any means he currently possesses, enough to truly place him among the top ranks of the universe's rulers!
"bring it on!!"
Lu Ming let out a low roar and no longer hesitated.
He left the Nine Dragons Palace directly, and his true form appeared in that terrifying pressure and accelerated time flow!
hum!
The moment he appeared, the exponentially increasing soul pressure crashed down like billions of divine mountains, causing him to stagger and his consciousness to go black.
But he forced himself to remain calm, his eyes sharp as knives.
The Sky-Splitting Battle Blade instantly appeared in his hand!
"cut!"
He took the initiative and swung the knife!
He incorporated his understanding of the laws, his comprehension of the path ahead, and his mastery of will into his swordsmanship!
In this region where the flow of time is eight thousand times faster than outside, his every movement seemed to be slowed down countless times, as if he had rehearsed it millions of times in an instant.
The extreme pressure on his soul caused his mind to operate and deduce at an unprecedented speed, eliminating all distractions and errors.
The blade's light was initially obscure, and under immense pressure, it was even difficult to trace a complete trajectory.
But Lu Ming ignored everything and, relying solely on his unwavering belief and yearning for a higher realm, practiced, revised, and integrated the techniques again and again.
He incorporated his deeper understanding of the laws of fire and space fusion into the work, pushing the artistic conception of "The Radiant World Calamity" to its extreme, and even began to try to incorporate his insights into "time and space," "soul," and even the strange rules of this seven-colored space itself.
The sword light gradually became fluid, carrying a sense of breaking through all laws and annihilating rules.
Sometimes it burns as fiercely as a star exploding, sometimes it's ethereal as ripples in spacetime, and sometimes it coalesces into a single, all-piercing point of cold light...
He was completely immersed in the profound realm of creating secret techniques, forgetting the passage of time and the stinging pain in his soul; all he could see was the ever-evolving, ever-perfecting blade light.
Under the combined influence of extreme pressure and the gift of time, a powerful secret technique truly belonging to the pinnacle of the universe's masters is quietly taking shape. Lu Ming's will, too, is undergoing the most brutal and effective tempering in this creative process, steadily advancing towards that unbelievable peak!
Ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years, a million years, ten million years...
Deep within this seven-colored space where the flow of time is distorted, Lu Ming is completely immersed in the creation of secret techniques and the tempering of his will.
While only a few decades may have passed outside, for him it was a long period of hundreds of millions of years!
He forgot everything, his eyes fixed only on the ever-evolving, ever-perfecting glint of the sword.
The soul was on the verge of collapse countless times under extreme pressure, but it was reshaped time and time again by its firm belief and pursuit of the ultimate Tao, becoming more and more resilient and pure.
at last……
This day.
The figure, seemingly wielding a sword eternally, suddenly stopped.
Lu Ming slowly sheathed his sword, stood in the shimmering void, his eyes, which had been closed for countless years, suddenly opened!
The moment he opened his eyes, the flowing seven-colored aurora around him seemed to pause for a moment, and the light in the vast space seemed to dim for a moment, subdued by the extremely restrained yet seemingly capable of cutting through all the shackles of rules in his eyes.
A sense of perfection, freedom, and transcendence naturally emanated from him.
The terrifying pressure from the soul that had previously made it difficult for him to move now seemed to have weakened considerably and could no longer cause him much trouble.
A pleasant and gratified smile slowly curved the corners of his mouth.
"It's done..."
After tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation and accumulation in the outside world and hundreds of millions of years in the inside world, he finally succeeded in creating the strongest secret technique of the universe master that belongs to him alone!
A fourth-order secret technique that has reached the peak of the level of the Lord of the Universe!
This is a sword technique that embodies his ultimate understanding of the law of fire and space fusion, contains a trace of the mystery of time, space and soul, and carries his will and belief in breaking through all obstacles and pursuing absolute freedom.
Its name——
Breaking Boundaries: The Tribulations of the Mortal World!
"Breaking Boundaries".
It signifies breaking through the boundaries of rules and transcending the constraints of the universe, embodying his ambition to break free from shackles and pursue a higher realm.
"The Tribulations of the Mortal World"
It contains a deeper meaning.
It is not simply a catastrophe that burns the world, but rather an all-encompassing phenomenon of the mortal world, encompassing all things in the universe, all forms of life, love and hate, cause and effect, and destiny. This entirety of the mortal world is itself a massive calamity.
Only by using supreme will and sharpness to break free from the shackles of the mortal world, to understand one's true nature, can one see one's true self and transcend to the highest level!
This sword technique is not only incredibly powerful, but it also targets the soul, severing illusions and containing a unique charm of soul attack.
Holding the Sky-Splitting Battle Blade, Lu Ming felt the mysterious trajectory of "Breaking Boundaries: The Tribulations of the Mortal World" flowing through his body, and an unprecedented sense of power surged into his heart.
Chapter 153 The Primordial Beginning Cuts Through the Dao, See Me!
He was confident that with this move, even without relying on special methods such as self-destructing clones, he would be able to directly confront and even defeat most fourth-order universe masters!
His strength has truly placed him among the top ranks of the universe's rulers!
This is not the end!
"System, sacrifice 'Breaking Boundaries: The Tribulations of the Mortal World'!"
Lu Ming silently recited in his heart, and without hesitation offered up this top-tier fourth-order secret technique, which he had just created after hundreds of millions of years of painstaking effort, as a sacrifice.
hum!
In his mind, the mysterious system interface shimmered with light, absorbing the complete information of "Breaking Boundaries: The Tribulations of the Mortal World".
