Chapter 438: Sixth Level

"The key to comprehending the Space-Time Great Dao Stele lies in the 'Nine Sources Star Body-Forging Secret Art'!"

Although this secret art originated from the Great Xia World, it only reached the Neutron Star level at its peak.

Yet, it had been perfected by Fang Xing using the 'Mirror of Derivation', elevating it to the 'Black Hole level'!

The so-called 'Black Hole level' is the realm of a Nascent Soul Overlord!

What is more critical is... the 'Black Hole level' of the Great Xia World is somewhat different.

"The so-called Black Hole level involves continuously increasing one's own gravity and mass, ultimately forming a celestial structure even more terrifying than a neutron star..."

"Around a black hole, one can even distort space-time!"

"Space-time distortion is precisely the entry point for the fusion of Time and Void!"

Fang Xing had long since memorized the perfected 'Nine Sources Star Body-Forging Secret Art'. At this moment, silently ruminating on the Black Hole chapter he hadn't quite understood before, he gained great insight.

"Achieving the Black Hole level allows one to obtain a trace of space-time fusion power... Using the 'Black Hole chapter' as a starting point to analyze the Space-Time Great Dao, there is much to be accomplished!"

Even within the Qingyuan Great World, Fang Xing had never heard of such a cultivation method!

"The convergence of two worlds and civilizations... has ultimately bloomed into brilliant flowers and borne fruitful results!"

His expression was spirited; he gazed at the Space-Time Great Dao Stele before him, feeling quite enlightened.

Even the parts he could not comprehend were firmly memorized in his heart, serving as excellent resources for future study of the laws of time and space.

In front of the Dou Tian Hall.

One day passed, and Fang Xing's figure appeared, landing on the stone stele.

A winged stone lizard crawled back and forth on the stele, calculating various exchange methods:

"Inheritances involving space-time fusion are naturally available on the stele, but even when split apart, they are very expensive... My current Pangu Tokens are down to only ten."

"Once an inheritance is exchanged, I must rely on my own comprehension thereafter... If comprehension fails, it's all money down the drain, and it's basically certain I won't pass the Dou Tian Hall trial."

"But after I comprehended the final chapter of the 'Nine Sources Star Body-Forging Secret Art', the situation immediately changed... I can save the Pangu Tokens for purchasing inheritances and buy myself enough cultivation resources instead!"

"The inheritances here are clearly no better than those in the core area, so I must strive to pass the trial, even if I have to take a risk!"

Cultivation is not something that can be broken through just because one has a flash of insight.

Even on the path of law comprehension, once insight is gained, one must still absorb a massive amount of Heaven and Earth Origin Qi!

Body-forging techniques are even more so. Even if Fang Xing understood the principles of the 'Nine Sources Star Body-Forging Secret Art', it was impossible to leap directly to the Black Hole level!

He must purchase a large number of body-tempering treasures and then cultivate to break through!

"Purchase suitable body-tempering treasures... cultivate to break through, storm the Dou Tian Hall, exchange for opportunities to comprehend and more treasures, then continue to cultivate and break through... This is the correct cycle!"

"Inheritances are too expensive. Once purchased, if one cannot comprehend them to a certain height in the short term, the increase in strength won't be obvious, and the cycle cannot be completed, then it's game over."

Having made up his mind, Fang Xing immediately looked at the exchange list.

"Hmm, there are many treasures for tempering the physique on the list... Leaves of Creation. One leaf contains a trace of the power of creation. I have already enjoyed the benefits of the power of creation in the 'Mirror of Derivation'... It can directly elevate my physique to the peak of a Red Giant, just one step away from the neutron star level. This is still because most of it was spent on deduction... It is indeed good. It's just a pity... one leaf costs three Pangu Tokens."

"There is also 'Star Liquid'... containing a massive amount of star power, extremely suitable for the 'Nine Sources Star Body-Forging Secret Art'. One portion only costs one Pangu Token!"

"Hmm? Can I also exchange for permission to use cultivation rooms with special environments? Especially suitable for physical breakthroughs... This is good, and cheap. Cultivating for a year only costs one Pangu Token..."

Several years later.

On the edge of a cosmic black hole.

A pitch-black stone lizard emitted terrifying gravity and repulsion from its entire body, interfering with the influence of the black hole.

Here, even light was 'captured' by the black hole; there was not a single source of light.

Strange and grotesque, nothing more than this.

Even... the fluctuations of laws were distorted and captured...

Even Fang Xing, as he was now, had to exert all his strength to survive on the edge of the black hole.

"The power of a black hole is the power to distort reality... Space-time is reality!"

"Black Hole level... too terrifying."

After a long time, the pitch-black stone lizard opened its eyes and glanced at the attribute panel:

【Space Law: 19782/20000 (Mastery)】

【Time Law: 11250/20000 (Proficient)】

【Nine Sources Star Body-Forging Secret Art: 799/800 (Grandmaster)】

"Three years... I exchanged for Leaves of Creation, four portions of Star Liquid, and also exchanged for a 'Black Hole Environment Cultivation Room'... Exhausting the Pangu Tokens on my person, I finally managed to barely digest the insights from the last time I comprehended the Space-Time Great Dao Stele, and incidentally cultivated the Neutron Star Battle Body to the extreme..."

At first, the Space-Time Great Dao Stele was difficult to comprehend.

But with the assistance of the Black Hole chapter of the 'Nine Sources Star Body-Forging Secret Art', Fang Xing was finally able to barely strip away some things he could understand and remember the vague sensations.

Then, he exchanged for this black hole environment to comprehend in a real setting.

Spending several years, he finally made great progress in both his laws of time and laws of void.

However, he had also accumulated a large number of doubts.

"Need to continue comprehending the Space-Time Great Dao Stele, oh... Pangu Tokens are gone, time to go storm the Dou Tian Hall."

Outside the Dou Tian Hall, a pitch-black stone lizard appeared out of thin air.

"As expected of the Pangu Secret Realm, they can even create artificial black holes..."

Fang Xing sighed and rushed into the Dou Tian Hall.

This time, he came directly to the fourth level.

The fourth level is an oceanic environment. On an island, a pitch-black ape sat cross-legged.

Its fur stood on end, its eyes were scarlet, and it held a pitch-black long staff in its hand, emitting terrifying pressure.

"Imperial Weapon!"

Fang Xing's expression remained unchanged, but he was complaining in his heart: "The strength of the enemy on the fourth level is about the same as the third, but it has an extra Imperial Weapon, directly causing a crushing defeat... This is thanks to the opponent only being at the Nascent Soul realm, making it difficult to unleash the power of the Imperial Weapon." "Hmm? Here to die again?"

The pitch-black violent ape gave a ferocious grin, raised the black staff, and a terrifying darkness shrouded down.

Heaven and Earth intersection!

In Fang Xing's eyes, there was only that black staff that kept growing larger!

In the previous challenge, he was beaten to death by a single strike like this; even his Neutron Star Battle Body couldn't withstand it, and he was directly teleported out.

But this time, the situation was clearly different.

A newly entered Neutron Star Battle Body and a peak Neutron Star Battle Body piled up with massive resources were simply not the same thing!

His physique was already infinitely close to the Heavenly Yao realm!

And a true Heavenly Yao was clearly impossible to be beaten to death by a mere Nascent Soul wielding an Imperial Weapon!

Clatter!

On the black staff, a fierce aura erupted, like a wild dragon waking up, carrying the spirit of suppressing all heavens and myriad Daos, smashing down with a boom. There was no way to avoid it, no way to block it!

No!

In the end, it was blocked!

Fang Xing's two front claws overlapped, blocking above his crown.

Bang!

A staff strike fell, and he instantly turned into a black dot, smashed into the seabed to an unknown depth.

And that violent ape stood stunned on the spot, without the slightest movement.

At the position between its eyebrows, a gap the size of a grain of rice suddenly appeared.

That was a wound pierced by a dragon scale flicked out by Fang Xing!

Pfft!

The sea level parted, and Shi Longzi, looking somewhat disheveled, drilled out: "Although Imperial Weapons are good... the person using them is too incompetent. You can't block a single move of mine, so why should I fight an Imperial Weapon head-on? As long as I have room to maneuver, you will die! Unfortunately for you, a master of the physical path has the highest tolerance for error..."

The opponent on the fourth level was very difficult to deal with, but the rewards were also exceptionally generous.

In an instant, eight 'Pangu Tokens' were bestowed upon him.

Fang Xing smiled slightly and came to the fifth level of the Dou Tian Hall.

In the vast desert.

A giant, entirely cyan-black and holding a giant shield, stood up: "How many years has it been... so long that I have forgotten when the last person stormed to this place..."

"Hmm? You guardians of the Dou Tian Hall also have your own emotions and wisdom?"

Fang Xing spoke.

"Of course, if there is no self-awareness, how can one comprehend the Dao laws?"

The cyan-black giant gave a simple and honest smile: "Be careful... I am going to start."

Boom!

He only had the strength of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul realm, but the moment he made a move, a terrifying aura erupted from that giant shield!

"Another Imperial Weapon..."

Fang Xing wanted to curse out loud. This Dou Tian Hall and the Pangu Secret Realm were truly wealthy and imposing.

Any random guardian had an Imperial Weapon!

If placed outside, every single one of them would be robbed by Heavenly Yao and Heavenly Immortals!

Bang bang!

Shield shadows were continuous, carrying the characteristic of water's flexibility.

This guardian was comprehending the Dao laws of water, and his defensive moves were airtight and continuous.

He brandished the giant shield, simply like a war chariot without any flaws, charging straight over, also adopting a crushing tactic!

This was a battle of grand and upright schemes, simply impossible to avoid!

Roar roar!

Fang Xing let out a roar, turning into a black meteor, like an arrow, constantly colliding with the shield.

Bang bang bang!

The void shattered, and even the world of water surged infinitely...

"So strong!"

"Sure enough... this guardian is simply flawless, and the Imperial Weapon is also a defensive type, complementing each other..."

Amidst constant collisions, scales on Fang Xing's body fell off, blood spilled into the sky, but he still couldn't find any flaws in the giant.

"No flaws, I can only forcibly create flaws!"

Within his eyes, the power of will boiled, transforming into a flying needle that pierced into the body of the blue-black giant.

Will attacks are just like this; there is no way to defend against them!

"Ah!"

The cyan-black giant let out a roar. He didn't die immediately, but under the intense pain, a gap appeared in the sky full of shield shadows.

And in that gap, which was less than one-thousandth of an instant, a pitch-black arrow shot in, piercing the giant's forehead.

"Not bad... you are the seventh challenger to kill me."

The cyan-black giant's corpse fell, its vitality so strong it was unbelievable; it could actually still speak.

"The seventh, huh?"

Fang Xing nodded and came to the sixth level.

Crimson!

Everywhere was crimson. As far as the eye could see, it seemed to be on the surface of a star.

In front, a black-armored figure was silently watching Fang Xing.
