In stark contrast to the absolute darkness outside, this is a wondrous space filled with dazzling light and breathtaking beauty.
Countless streaks of iridescent light, like those of the aurora borealis, flowed and intertwined slowly in the void, transforming into various dreamlike and enchanting shapes. The soft light illuminated the space, dispelling the darkness, yet it was not dazzling; instead, it gave people a sense of tranquility and peace.
However, beneath this peaceful and beautiful scene, Lu Ming keenly sensed something amiss.
Chapter 149 Free Time Palace
A faint pressure permeated the space. This pressure did not act on the divine body, but seemed to penetrate directly into the soul, causing his core consciousness to feel a slight sluggishness, as if his thoughts were working a little slower than usual.
"What a wonderful place..."
Lu Ming thought to himself, "There is such a magnificent sight, and there is also a strange pressure that directly affects the soul."
But the next moment, he froze!
A more obvious and fundamental sense of difference was clearly conveyed through his connection with his avatar in the primordial universe's dark sea!
"Wait! What's going on?"
Lu Ming's expression changed slightly as he carefully sensed this strange feeling of separation. His two clones, existing in different timelines, were most acutely aware of the differences in the flow of time.
"This is... a difference in the flow of time!"
He understood instantly.
The avatar in the Nether Sea of the Primordial Universe felt like only a moment had passed, while the main body in this seven-colored space seemed to have experienced an even longer period of time.
This asynchrony in the passage of time, though subtle, is as clear as an ink drop in water to a powerful figure of his caliber!
"This feeling……"
Lu Ming closed his eyes and focused all his attention on sensing the difference in the flow rate of the two spaces.
"About ten times! The flow of time here is ten times that of the outside world!"
In other words, while one year has passed outside, ten years have passed inside this colorful space!
"Somewhat similar to the Time Palace in a virtual universe..."
A look of surprise flashed in Lu Ming's eyes.
"But the Time Palace requires a huge amount of resources to maintain, while this place... seems to be natural? Or rather, it's a rule inherent to this mysterious place?"
A region where time flows at ten times the speed of the outside world! Its value is simply immeasurable!
For the strong, time is one of the most precious resources.
Ten years of secluded cultivation here will only take a year in the outside world. Whether it is comprehending the laws, creating secret techniques, or accumulating divine power, the efficiency will far exceed that of the outside world!
"A free 'Time Palace'..."
Lu Ming suppressed his excitement and swept his gaze across the space flowing with seven-colored aurora once more, his eyes becoming even more ardent.
"The reward for even just entering this place is so astonishing. What kind of incredible opportunity must the 'Source' that the map ultimately points to be?"
He controlled the Nine Dragons Palace and began to slowly travel towards the mysterious "Source" in this region where the flow of time was abnormal, following the final guidance of the map.
The surrounding rainbow-colored light bands seemed to be alive, rippled slightly as the palace moved.
As he went deeper, Lu Ming keenly noticed that subtle and continuous changes were taking place in the surrounding environment.
First, there was the invisible pressure he had felt on his soul before.
At this moment, the pressure is gradually increasing!
If entering the room initially only caused his thinking to become slightly sluggish, now it's as if an invisible millstone is slowly grinding down on the core of his will, requiring him to devote more attention to resisting this pressure and maintaining clarity of mind and agility of thought.
"This oppressive force on my soul... is getting stronger!"
Lu Ming did not feel uncomfortable at all; on the contrary, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
This pressure, which acts directly on the soul and will, is a burden, but it is also an excellent form of tempering!
Being in this environment for a long time will inevitably temper and enhance his will, which will be of great benefit to resisting soul attacks and comprehending profound laws.
What surprised him even more was another change—
Through his spatial-temporal connection with his clone Youhai, he clearly perceived that the flow of time in this space was not a fixed ten times!
"The flow of time... is also changing!"
Lu Ming sensed it carefully.
"It's getting faster and faster!"
When you first enter, it's about ten times the size of the outside world.
As he went deeper, this ratio steadily increased! Eleven times, twelve times... After he had traveled a considerable distance, the flow of time had reached an astonishing fifteen times that of the outside world!
Moreover, it seems to be increasing as he goes deeper!
One year outside is equivalent to more than fifty years here!
This means that his efficiency in cultivating, comprehending, and accumulating divine power here will become increasingly terrifying as he goes deeper!
"What a wonderful place!"
Lu Ming couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, his joy evident on his face.
"Not only can it passively train the soul and will, but it can also provide increasingly longer equivalent training time!"
For Lu Ming, who urgently needed to improve his strength to cope with greater challenges in the future, this was simply the cultivation paradise he had been dreaming of!
"Perfect!"
He felt an increasing pressure on his soul and a constantly changing flow of time, and his heart was filled with exhilaration.
This mysterious "source" has yet to reveal its true core, yet the journey to the core has already brought him such immense surprises and benefits.
This made him even more eager for the final "source".
The Nine Dragons Palace maintained its speed and resolutely headed towards the deepest part of the Seven-Colored Space, towards the final location marked on the map.
The surrounding light became increasingly dazzling, and the pressure on the soul surged like waves, making the sense of difference between time and space more and more obvious.
hundred times!
A thousand times!
Three thousand times!
Four thousand times!
The Nine Dragons Palace struggled forward amidst the seven-colored light. When the difference in the flow of time reached an astonishing four thousand times that of the outside world, Lu Ming had no choice but to control the palace's treasures to stop.
It wasn't that he didn't want to delve deeper, but rather that the invisible pressure acting on his soul had increased to an extremely terrifying level!
At this moment, the pressure was no longer like being crushed by a millstone, but more like the weight of the entire universe pressing down on his soul and will!
Every thought that arises, every idea that takes shape, becomes incredibly difficult, like struggling in solidified amber.
A sharp pain shot through his core consciousness, as if it might collapse at any moment under this immense pressure.
Even with Lu Ming's terrifying will, which reached the level of a universe master, he felt he had reached his limit.
He had no doubt that if he forced himself forward, his soul would likely be seriously injured, and might even leave behind a hidden danger that would be difficult to heal.
"The pressure on my soul... is too great!"
Lu Ming took a deep breath, and even fine beads of sweat seeped from his forehead, a sign of his extremely focused will to resist external pressure.
He decisively abandoned his plan to go deeper into the subject.
"That's fine."
He looked around. This area was shimmering with light, and the flow of time was four thousand times faster than outside. The pressure on his soul had also reached the limit that he could currently withstand.
"Let's cultivate right here!"
Far from being frustrated by his inability to reach the ultimate "source," he felt that this place was just right.
"Cultivating under such immense soul pressure has also greatly benefited the enhancement of my soul will!"
Chapter 150 Luo Feng Recognizes the Star Tower as His Master
Lu Ming's eyes shone brightly. He knew that cultivating one's will was far more difficult and more important than accumulating divine power. A strong will was the cornerstone of reaching the pinnacle.
Here, time flows four thousand times faster than outside, meaning he has far more cultivation time than outside.
At the same time, the extreme pressure of the environment can constantly temper his will and push his willpower to a higher level.
This is practically a perfect training ground tailor-made for him!
"First, get used to the pressure here, then begin your intensive training!"
Lu Ming sat cross-legged inside the Nine Dragons Palace, no longer deliberately resisting, but trying to guide his own will to adapt to and integrate with this omnipresent soul pressure.
He believes that when he can fully adapt to the pressure here and even feel relaxed, his will will surely reach a new level.
While Lu Ming's true form was diligently cultivating in the mysterious seven-colored space within the Inner Domain of the Peak Realm, enduring a time flow rate four thousand times faster and terrifying soul pressure, in the distant primordial universe, in the seventh battlefield of the outer domain, in that ancient starry sky surrounded by endless fragments of stars.
A tower so majestic it defies description floats silently in the air.
Its entire body is dark red, covered with countless intricate runes, exuding an ancient, desolate, and terrifying aura. This is the Star Tower, renowned throughout the entire extraterrestrial battlefield and even shrouded in legend throughout the universe!
At this moment, inside the Star Tower, within the core recognition space.
Luo Feng, the unparalleled genius of the Earth lineage and Lu Ming's personal disciple, is undergoing the most crucial and dangerous test of his life—recognizing the Star Tower as his master!
His body was tightly bound by countless cyan rays of light, like chains. These rays contained terrifying soul impacts and crushing wills, frantically assaulting the core of his consciousness.
His body trembled slightly, his face was as pale as paper, his teeth were clenched so tightly that golden blood even seeped out. But his eyes were like the hardest rock, filled with unyielding spirit and determination!
"persist in!"
"We must hold on!"
Luo Feng's mind was filled with the teachings of his teacher Lu Ming, the sense of responsibility he felt towards his family and clan, and his own boundless desire to become a strong person!
The process of recognizing a master in this Star Tower is arguably one of the most difficult in the universe!
It requires enduring inhuman pain and prolonged mental anguish; failure means the annihilation of the soul!
Time seems to lose its meaning here. A year, a decade, a century...
