From the Metropolis to the Strongest in the Cosmos

”Keep improving it!”

After the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon broke through to the Law Realm, Li Yang took out three more energy vials!

These were the exact energy vials he had purchased earlier, capable of raising an Early Law Realm Cultivator straight to the Peak of Law Realm...

And so, after continuous enhancement, a twenty-meter-long flood dragon finally appeared before Li Yang’s eyes!

Its body was entirely golden. Its scales, its three-clawed golden feet, and its coiling body even caused the surrounding void to tremble intermittently!

Peak of Law Realm!

The newly nurtured Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon avatar had grown to the Peak of Law Realm in just a short time!

Once it reached that level, Li Yang waved his right hand, and a white ball of light appeared before him.

Entering the ball of light with his consciousness, he could see the figure of a powerful expert constantly changing.

One figure, two figures, three figures...

Its body multiplied continuously. Starting from the first figure, the entire space was eventually filled with the expert’s phantoms!

”Li Yang, for a Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon, which is born with a grasp of three profundities of the Space Law, the Illusion Body Skill is the best supplementary Cultivation Technique for comprehending Space Law! It’s the most suitable for you to use.”

The voice of Soul Ink drifted out before him.

For Li Yang, he was human. Both the Thunder Star Beast avatar and the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon were just that—avatars, existing to serve him.

The anatomies of humans and these giant beasts were different, so their suitable Cultivation Techniques were naturally different as well. For example, humans used their arms to wield Secret Pattern Divine Weapons like sabers and swords. As for the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon, its most suitable weapons were its claws and tail. The Cultivation Techniques they practiced were fundamentally different.

It was impossible for a human to practice a Cultivation Technique that used tail attacks.

Therefore, while there certainly were Spatial Attribute Cultivation Techniques perfectly suited for the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon avatar, those techniques were not suitable for Li Yang. The Illusion Body Skill, however, was perfectly applicable to both the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon and Li Yang.

”I know.” Li Yang nodded.

’This also corresponds to the Hexagram Spear I’m practicing. Ten illusory figures correspond to the second form of the Hexagram Spear. If I master it, instantly killing an Early Longevity Realm expert won’t be a problem.’

Moreover, the Hexagram Spear could accommodate a total of six types of Laws. These six were not ranked in any hierarchy. Previously, his comprehension of the Thunder Law’s Explosion Profundity was the strongest, so that was the primary one. In the future, if his comprehension of a certain Space Law profundity surpassed the Explosion Profundity, then the Hexagram Spear would use that Space Law profundity as its core.

Therefore, Li Yang didn’t need to change his Cultivation Technique; he just needed to add a supplementary one like the Illusion Body Skill.

At its absolute peak, when wielded by a Peak of World Realm expert and fully integrated with six Law profundities, the Hexagram Spear’s power could even surpass that of Deities!

”Now, let the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon avatar comprehend the Illusion Body Skill!”

Li Yang waved his right hand.

With excitement and thrill in its eyes, the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon snatched the white ball of light, and its consciousness began to merge with it!

BOOM!

As it observed the Cultivation Technique, the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon felt its comprehension of the Space Law rapidly increasing!

’What a fast comprehension speed!’ Li Yang felt it too, a pleasant surprise in his heart.

Before, he had zero comprehension of the Space Law. But now, his mind was suddenly filled with a much deeper understanding of it, and the depth of that comprehension was constantly growing!

’This rate of comprehension,’ Li Yang thought, ’is even faster than my progress with the Thunder Law!’

Previously, after his Thunder Star Beast avatar was nurtured, it took him over twenty days for his Thunder Law to break through to the Law Realm!

But now he felt that it would likely take no more than ten days for his comprehension of Space Law to allow him to break through to the Law Realm as well!

’From now on, the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon avatar will stay here in the depths of the sea to cultivate!’

Li Yang quickly made his arrangements.

Planets around Earth, like Mars, were all being mined for ore veins. The Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon avatar couldn’t stay there.

If it were discovered...

A single portion of a Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon’s blood would be enough to tempt even a World Realm expert...

Of course, Li Yang’s Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon avatar was currently only at the Law Realm and was incredibly weak. Its blood wouldn’t attract many people.

However, an incredibly weak Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon would drive countless people into a frenzy.

All things considered, the safest place for the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon was in the depths of Earth’s oceans.

After handling matters there, Li Yang once again entered the combat space of the Virtual World.

His figure flickered about as he fought a Longevity Realm-level virtual opponent. But not long into the fight, he suddenly stopped.

’Why has my Body Technique suddenly improved so much?’

In just a short time since he last entered the combat space, his Body Technique had clearly improved by a large margin.

A little puzzled, Li Yang asked Soul Ink about it.

Soul Ink explained, ”Li Yang, what you call Body Technique is actually closely related to the Space Law. The people most proficient in Body Technique are absolutely the ones with the strongest comprehension of Space Law.”

Hearing this, Li Yang’s eyes lit up.

’Does that mean the time it takes for me to master the second form of the Hexagram Spear can be shortened even more!’

One of the great profundities of Space Law, teleportation, was undoubtedly the highest level of Body Technique. Therefore, being skilled in Space Law naturally meant being skilled in Body Technique.

Li Yang’s heart filled with anticipation.

For the Hexagram Spear, the difficulty of each successive form increased by several dozen times!

Previously, Li Yang had spent four months on the first form of the Hexagram Spear.

According to his estimates, it would be impossible for him to master the second form of the Hexagram Spear without several years of practice!

But now, with the nurturing of the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon avatar, his Space Law would progress rapidly, and the time needed to master the second form of the Hexagram Spear would be greatly reduced.

The Body Technique component of the Hexagram Spear was the most difficult part. Since Space Law had a huge impact on Body Technique, the time required could be shortened even further!

...

Next, Li Yang completely immersed himself in his cultivation. Meanwhile, the grand talent selection for the Yangyuan Empire was still underway.

「Ten days passed in a flash.」

Above a magnificent palace, an incomparably colossal face looked down upon the numerous Deities below.

Even Divine Realm experts with eternal lifespans could only bow their heads in utmost reverence beneath this face.

”Reporting to the Emperor, the talent selection across the hundreds of thousands of Deity-level factions and hundreds of millions of galaxies under our Yangyuan Empire has concluded. The one hundred thousand selected geniuses have already entered the martial arena.”

A Deity below raised his head and reported respectfully.

Needless to say, the giant face was none other than the sole ruler of the Yangyuan Star Continent, a terrifying existence above the Divine Realm—the Yangyuan Emperor.

”Mm.”

The Yangyuan Emperor nodded slightly and said, ”You may all withdraw.”

”Yes!”

All the Deities bowed respectfully and then departed.

The colossal face did not disappear but remained, contemplating.

’All the geniuses from the hundreds of millions of galaxies in my Yangyuan Star Continent are now under my command. There shouldn’t be any unexpected incidents this time, right?’

As his thoughts faded, the colossal face in the void also vanished swiftly, as if it had never been there at all.
