I just became the Pirate King, and you're telling me I also time-traveled at the same time.

Chapter 601 The Strongest's Secret Technique

Millions of years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Chu Yang successfully integrated the Wood Time Law and the Water Time Law.

Furthermore, based on this fusion principle, two ultimate secret techniques were created.

They are:

"Golden Reincarnation": This is a secret technique created by integrating the three fundamental laws of metal, earth, and time. It is an ultimate attack technique. When used, it is as if the enemy is forcibly pulled into reincarnation and crushed into nothingness by the endless laws.

"Verdant Years": This is a secret technique that leans towards the auxiliary type. After it is cast, everything within a radius of tens of millions of kilometers seems to slow down, somewhat similar to the domain formed by a domain-type treasure. This is an effect on the realm of time.

However, because this is a secret technique, when combined with a domain-type treasure, it can also enhance the power of the domain.

If one already possesses a high-grade supreme treasure, then after using it, the double effect can rival the power of a top-tier supreme treasure.

These two secret techniques, in terms of grade, have reached the ultimate level of the Lord of the Universe, but they are still a step short of Chu Yang's goal—the strongest secret technique.

"I'm still a little short. Do I have to start fusing all five elements—metal, earth, water, wood, and time—to create the strongest secret technique?"

In the center of the secret realm, Chu Yang took a deep breath and decided to try to merge the two fusion laws—the Metal-Earth Time and the Water-Wood Time—again.

He opened his palm, and two runes slowly appeared in his palm.

A dark yellow object, heavy as a mountain and sharp as a knife, is the manifestation of the law of fusion of metal and earth.

The other one is a vibrant green, full of life, as if it contains endless vitality; it is a manifestation of the fusion of water and wood.

"Hopefully this time it will go more smoothly..."

Chu Yang muttered to himself, still feeling lingering fear as he recalled the painful experience of fusing with a single law.

They carefully controlled the two runes to approach each other.

Initially, the two runes, like the same poles of a magnet, repelled each other, unleashing a powerful energy shock.

The phantom of the divine kingdom behind Chu Yang shook violently, as if it would collapse at any moment.

"Don't rush, take it slow..."

Chu Yang continuously adjusted his fusion method and drew on his previous experience in fusion of the Metal-Earth Law and the Water-Wood Law.

Then he tried to change the ratio of the two laws of power, and tried to adjust the frequency of energy output. He failed again and again, and tried again and again.

Time passed unnoticed. The flow of time in the secret realm was different from that in the outside world, and Chu Yang had no idea how much time had passed.

All he knew was that he had tried countless methods, and the phantom of the divine kingdom had been shattered and repaired countless times.

Finally, in a seemingly hopeless attempt, the repulsive force between the two runes weakened.

Chu Yang was overjoyed and quickly seized the opportunity to continue adjusting his energy output.

The two runes slowly approached, rotated, and merged. Dark yellow and cyan lights intertwined, forming a strange, chaotic color.

The chaotic colors gradually stabilized, eventually forming a brand new rune that emitted a colorful light and floated in Chu Yang's palm.

This rune contains the power of the five basic laws of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, as well as the law of time, making it far more complex than any previous rune.

"Haha! I was right about this, and we're finally making progress!"

Chu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, a smile of satisfaction spreading across his face.

Integrating four or five fundamental laws and the law of time was more difficult than he had anticipated. During this process, the illusory divine kingdom was almost completely shattered. If it weren't for his unwavering will, he probably would have given up long ago.

But now, success is within reach!

Chu Yang couldn't wait to test the power of this new rune.

His first thought was to integrate this rune into the two secret techniques he had previously created—"Golden Cycle" and "Verdant Years".

"The essence of 'Golden Cycle' is to utilize the three laws of metal, earth, and time to pull enemies into a cycle of reincarnation for endless crushing. If it were changed to new runes, perhaps the power of reincarnation could be made even stronger, or even..."

A glint of light flashed in Chu Yang's eyes, "Manipulating time!"

With this in mind, Chu Yang immediately began revising "Golden Universe Reincarnation"!

He incorporated new runes into the framework of arcane arts and continuously adjusted the trajectory of energy flow.

Initially, the new runes clashed with the existing framework, causing intense energy conflicts that nearly led to the collapse of the arcane art.

Chu Yang frowned, repeatedly deducing and revising the solution, searching for the best integration plan.

This process was extremely tedious and boring, but Chu Yang enjoyed it immensely.

Time continued to pass, and cracks reappeared in Chu Yang's divine kingdom phantom, but he was completely unaware of it.

Finally, after repeated failures, a perfect balance was found.

The new runes blend perfectly with the existing arcane arts, forming a completely new whole.

Chu Yang took a deep breath, mobilized his divine power, and activated a new secret technique.

Rumble!

After unleashing the "Golden Reincarnation" technique, an enormous, extremely dark millstone emanated from beside Chu Yang.

The dark millstone turned slowly, emitting a chilling vibration.

It is no longer a simple combination of the three laws of metal, earth, and time, but a perfect fusion of the five basic laws and the law of time!

The center of the millstone seemed to connect to another dimension, devouring all the light and energy around it.

Chu Yang casually waved his hand, and the millstone flew towards the edge of the secret realm's space-time.

After a deafening roar, a massive black hole appeared at the edge of the secret realm, swallowing everything around it.

"My God!" A glint of excitement flashed in Chu Yang's eyes. "This power is more than a hundred times stronger than before!"

Meanwhile, outside this space-time, all three ancestral gods appeared here.

Besides the two-faced ancestral god, there are also an old and a young ancestral god.

The young Ancestral God's expression was solemn, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable light: "This fluctuation... has already surpassed the scope of the ultimate secret technique of the Lord of the Universe, could it be that he really..."

He didn't dare to say anything more, but his heart was in turmoil.

To create the strongest secret technique in the universe in less than ten thousand epochs, with the status of a cosmic sovereign, is a talent that could even be called the number one in the original universe.

The old ancestral god stroked his beard, a glint of light flashing in his cloudy eyes: "Let's wait and see. Perhaps, before long, another strongest being will be born in our primordial universe."

They could all see that Chu Yang had already found his own path, and to become the strongest, he had to follow the path that best suited him.

The two-faced ancestral god remained silent, simply gazing at that secret realm, as if trying to see through everything within it.

Inside the secret realm, Chu Yang was incredibly excited about the increased power of the secret technique.

"Next up is 'Verdant Years'!" Without pausing for a moment, Chu Yang immediately began modifying the second secret technique.

Unlike "Golden Reincarnation", "Verdant Years" is a secret technique that leans towards support. It creates special effects similar to a field by manipulating the flow of time.

Chu Yang's goal is to integrate new runes into it, giving this secret technique even greater control capabilities!

Having gained experience in adapting "Jin Yu Lun Hui", Chu Yang was even more adept at adapting "Cang Cui Sui Yue".

He incorporated the new runes into the arcane framework and constantly adjusted the energy flow trajectory, deducing and modifying it again and again.

Time flew by, and Chu Yang was completely immersed in modifying the secret technique, forgetting the passage of time and the disturbances of the outside world.

Finally, in what seemed like an ordinary attempt, the new runes merged perfectly with "Verdant Years," forming a completely new whole.

Chu Yang took a deep breath, mobilized his divine power, and activated a new secret technique.

hum-

A strange wave emanated from Chu Yang and spread outwards.

The flow of time in the secret realm changes drastically, sometimes as fast as lightning, sometimes as slow as a snail.

With a thought, Chu Yang felt as if the surrounding space and time had become his toy, at his mercy.

He can even reverse time in a small area, making withered flowers bloom again and broken stones whole again.

Chu Yang casually tossed out a powerful treasure. When the treasure had flown about 50 million kilometers away, Chu Yang used a secret technique similar to a domain treasure to crush it into pieces!

"Even from this distance, it still possesses such immense power. My improved 'Verdant Years' must already have the power of a top-tier domain-level treasure!"

Chu Yang was very satisfied with the power of this secret technique, even without him having fully unleashed the Azure Peak Domain. If the two were combined, they would probably reach the power of a top-tier domain treasure!

"Alright, let's stop researching the secret technique here for now!"

"With these two secret techniques from the strongest beings in the universe, my strength will rise to another level. Now, let's begin the second plan!"

"Let's begin crafting the treasure! The runes that need to be inscribed on it can be deduced with a little study!"

In fact, understanding the five principles of fusion—metal, wood, water, earth, and time—is the foundation. Whether creating secret techniques or inscribing intricate patterns on treasures, it's all an extension of this foundation.

My experience in weapon crafting mainly came from Honghuang Chuyang. As a master of array formations, Honghuang Chuyang could master weapon crafting with just a little effort.

Furthermore, he frequently exchanged weapon-refining experiences with his fellow disciples, such as Duobao.

In the Devouring World, Chu Yang's weapon-refining skills may not be comparable to those of the God of Craftsmen, but Chu Yang also has his advantages, namely, the fusion of multiple laws!

This is something even the God of Craftsmen does not possess!

Chu Yang sat cross-legged, and a piece of metal shimmering with a ghostly blue light appeared out of thin air in his hand.

This metal is neither gold nor stone, it feels cold to the touch, and it emits a strange fluctuation. It is the main material for refining the treasure - "Azure Star Core".

It is an extremely rare refining material in the universe, possessing incredible defensive power.

"Let's forge a suit of armor first; offensive and defensive armor are the easiest to forge."

Chu Yang formed hand seals and activated his divine power to envelop the azure star core within it.

The blazing divine power seemed intent on completely melting the metal.

As time went by, the azure star core gradually softened, eventually turning into a ball of blue liquid. Under Chu Yang's control, it continuously deformed, eventually forming the prototype of an armor.

If this armor were completed now, it would probably only be a top-tier treasure.

Using materials meant for crafting ordinary treasures, they only managed to create one top-tier treasure, which can only be considered average.

"Next, we'll inscribe the runes."

Chu Yang took a deep breath, his gaze becoming incredibly focused.

With a light tap of his fingertips, mysterious runes, like tadpoles, flew from his fingertips and were imprinted on the armor.

These runes contain the mysteries of the laws of time and the five fundamental laws, intertwined to form a perfect whole.

As the runes were continuously inscribed, the light on the armor grew increasingly dazzling, radiating a heart-stopping aura.

Outside the secret realm, the three ancestral gods still silently watched over this place.

"This kid is actually forging a supreme treasure!" the young Ancestral God exclaimed. "Moreover, the power of this treasure seems extraordinary!"

The old ancestral god stroked his beard, his eyes gleaming: "This child is truly a prodigy! Not only has he created two of the most powerful secret techniques, but he also possesses a skill in weapon forging!!"

The two-faced ancestral god remained silent, but within his heart, a turbulent storm was brewing.

In the primordial universe, there were many who could refine heavy treasures, but very few who could refine supreme treasures.

Chu Yang was so engrossed in refining the treasure that he was completely unaware of the passage of time.

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

Finally, the last rune was completed.

hum-

The armor emitted a clear, ringing sound, and its radiant light illuminated the entire secret realm.

Chu Yang reached out and beckoned, and the armor flew into his hand.

This armor is dark gold in color, and its surface is engraved with countless mysterious runes. If you look closely, these runes faintly show a five-colored hue!

"It's just an ordinary treasure?"

Chu Yang looked at the armor in his hand. Its dark gold color flowed and the runes shimmered with colorful halos. It was indeed very beautiful, but he couldn't feel happy.

"What a pity, just an ordinary treasure!"

Although this armor's defensive capabilities are far superior to ordinary treasures, and can even reduce an attack by up to one ten-thousandth, it is still far from what was expected.

His goal is to forge a top-tier treasure!

"Where exactly did things go wrong?" Chu Yang tossed the armor into the air, letting it spin slowly, and closed his eyes in deep thought.

The process of refining the materials replayed in my mind, from selecting the materials to smelting and finally engraving the runes. I carefully considered every step.

"The problem must be with the runes!"

Chu Yang suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp glint in them.

The Azure Star Core, as the main material for refining supreme treasures, is undoubtedly of the highest quality, and the refining process is also perfect.

The only flaw lies in the depiction of the runes; those mysterious runes, which contain the laws of time and the four fundamental laws, have not fully exerted their due power.

"The Law of Fusion, the Law of Fusion..."

Chu Yang kept repeating these four words, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

He comprehended the law of fusion, but he did not fully integrate it. It was as if he had just entered the threshold and could only unleash a very small portion of its power.

If the law of fusion is a vast ocean, then the fusion law formed by the fusion of these five laws is at most equivalent to a small stream!

"It's like stir-frying. You have all kinds of ingredients, but you just pile them up without seasoning or proper cooking time. Naturally, you can't make a delicious dish."

Chu Yang chuckled self-deprecatingly, but a fierce fighting spirit ignited within him. "Again!"

For the next five thousand years, Chu Yang was completely immersed in the art of weapon crafting. He experimented with various rune combinations and different inscription methods, failing time and time again, and improving time and time again.

Within the secret realm, various strange energy fluctuations rose and fell, like a never-ending fireworks extravaganza.

After numerous failures, Chu Yang gradually figured out some of the tricks of the trade. (End of Chapter)
