Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 699 - 370: Time Acceleration_3

Lu Yu's vision was obscured by sprawling black hair, enveloping everything in darkness. He could feel the long strands brushing against his skin, tightening relentlessly, trying to strangle him.

His muscles tensed fully, resisting the power of the black hair, pulling against it as he searched for the "core."

Sensing abilities, spiritual power, soul power—all were employed.

Lu Yu perceived nothing, only boundless darkness. His spiritual power flitted like a floating weed, devoid of any anchors, unable to touch the black hair or anything within the room.

Only his soul power extended continuously along the hair.

He sensed that all the hair stemmed from a single source, possibly the core within the room.

However, the soul power integrated within the hair changed slightly; Lu Yu felt time elongating the further he progressed.

Though he could perceive that all the hair originated from one source, his soul power could never reach the end.

Moreover, the further he went, the slower the surrounding time felt.

"Time!" Lu Yu pondered one possibility—that the real danger in this room was not the black hair, but time itself.

Time is accelerating!

The deeper he ventured into the room, the more perceptible the quickening of time's passage became.

Lu Yu needed stronger power to halt his advance; he had to stop, or he might run out of "time."

The Beheading Saber essence within the Solar Star transferred to the Lunar Star, which swiftly processed the Divine Weapon Essence of the Beheading Saber, rapidly boosting Lu Yu's power.

Lunar Star (3-star), base amplification 20 times, communicating with the Power of the Moon.

The Divine Weapon Essence of the Beheading Saber was entirely consumed, and the Lunar Star successfully increased to 3-star, greatly enhancing Lu Yu's power and slowing his forced march by the black hair.

Suddenly, Lu Yu felt a surge of power rushing into his body; the Solar Star was throbbing.

Lu Yu projected his consciousness onto the Solar Star, discovering the void fire's refining speed suddenly accelerated by several hundred fold.

He was stunned for a moment before realizing the accelerated time passage was influencing things; his time was flowing by at hundreds of times the usual rate, resulting in the void fire's refining process advancing at a similar pace.

That's why he felt a surge of power from the Solar Star—the void fire was refining too quickly.

11 times... 12 times... 13 times... The power of the Solar Star kept increasing.

"In this light, accelerated passage of time doesn't seem so bad," Lu Yu considered.

No sooner had he deemed it a good thing when he felt the black hair constricting tighter around him, strands penetrating into his flesh.

"The power is still not enough!" Lu Yu continued to be dragged forward passively; he needed even more powerful strength.

Considering his current state, Lu Yu focused on retrieving the Spirit Stones from his backpack.

As soon as the Spirit Stones were out, they were crushed by countless strands of black hair, with the Spiritual Qi inside swiftly exhausted by Lu Yu's body, like air sucked into a vacuum, rapidly absorbed.

Lu Yu's eyes brightened; indeed, with accelerated time flow, his cultivation speed had also increased.

However, the absence of Spiritual Qi here meant he couldn't feel the enhancement of his cultivation level.

With sufficient Spiritual Qi, he could elevate his cultivation at several hundred times the usual rate.

Without hesitation, he emptied his backpack of Spirit Stones.

As soon as the Spirit Stones emerged, countless strands of black hair crushed them, and the Spiritual Qi within was absorbed by his body several hundred times faster, consumed entirely before it could disperse into the world.
