Use first and repay later: Advance the future cultivation fruits - Chapter 493 493: 220. Black Hole Maze_2

As they spoke, the giant door behind the white-haired woman in a black robe slowly opened, revealing a dark entrance.

“After passing through this door, you will be randomly teleported to any place in the maze. As for whether the starting position is far or close to the maze’s end, that depends on your luck.”

“Well then… let’s begin.”

…

With the spatial transformation, when Lin Qing’s vision returned to normal, he found himself in a somewhat dim space.

“Is this the maze passage?”

Lin Qing observed his surroundings and found the so-called passage to be astonishingly large.

Both the walls and the floor were made of green copper, with a width of at least tens of thousands of meters, and the height of the passage was nearly ten thousand meters.

In fact, at his level, with his speed in the starry sky breaking the speed of light in a burst, such a small activity range couldn’t allow him to exert himself fully.

But the key point was that the gravity inside this maze was also terrifyingly massive.

If it were an average Star-level Divine Officer, in this maze, they could probably only manage to walk with difficulty.

With such slow speed, the maze’s passage naturally appeared enormous.

Moreover, the free energy within this maze was also somewhat scarce, making energy recovery rather troublesome.

“I hope I’m the first one to walk out of the maze.”

Lin Qing naturally also wanted to obtain the so-called special reward, but he also understood that this initial test depended on luck. Even though he had confidence in his own strength, he had no great assurance.

If someone else had excellent luck and was randomly teleported near the maze’s end point, how could he compete with that?

For someone like Qi Lingxiao with heaven-defying luck, he had no solution.

On Earth, he had also sent his Black Flame Clone to explore the Silver Maze, but the Black Flame Clone had died countless times and had never managed to get out of the Silver Maze, and naturally, hadn’t received any reward.

Clearly, it was a matter of luck.

“Luckily… as long as I can become a Star God, I can improve my luck.”

Lin Qing was full of anticipation and didn’t waste time. The vertical eye at his forehead immediately opened, and the Black Flame Clone flew out from the space channel.

“Unification!”

The Black Flame Clone instantly turned into a hazy light shadow, integrating into his body.

His aura immediately increased.

Without burning life, the Unification Technique could double his strength, and when he needed to explode in battle, the Black Flame Clone could burn then.

“And next… the World God.”

Accompanied by the explosion of endless dark golden energy, it converged into a World God over two thousand meters tall.

With an even more massive physique and energy, the gravity endured was also more astounding, and the consumption was enormously terrifying.

“Fortunately, the Complete World God can endure…”

Lin Qing immediately took a step, marching boldly along the passage, the World God’s height exceeding two thousand meters, with legs long enough that one step covered several thousand meters, naturally making his speed astonishingly fast.

“Boom, boom, boom——”

The giant feet continuously landed, sending out booming sounds.

In this maze, where even a Star Abyss Eighth Layer player could barely walk, his speed soared easily to several thousand meters per second.

Not long after, moving only dozens of kilometers forward, Lin Qing found a fork in the maze and didn’t hesitate, casually choosing the middle path, continuing his bold march.

After all, regardless of the path, as long as he kept moving forward, he was bound to reach the end.

After another moment.

“A black hole!”

Lin Qing, after passing two more intersections, reached the end of this passage and saw at the end a patch of darkness that seemed to consume everything, with a peculiar photon stream swirling around the edges, distorting the otherwise stable surrounding space.

He didn’t hesitate, maintaining the World God’s form, as he charged into that darkness that consumed everything.

The next instant, the astonishing pressure, tearing, strangulation from the changing space inside the black hole instantly acted on Lin Qing’s body.

At the same time, the dead silence and nothingness inside the black hole, with an aura that seemed to destroy everything, also began to erode his mind.

“So that’s how it is…”

Lin Qing forcefully resisted the various forces brought by the spatial changes within the black hole, sensing carefully, and suddenly understood.

Resisting the spatial changes inside this black hole was like dealing with the underwater currents when swimming, those adept in swimming naturally wouldn’t drown, but those who weren’t adept would be in great danger.

And within this black hole, the endlessly changing space was like a constantly shifting river, with turbulent undercurrents continuously altering.

If one were to rely solely on brute force, it would naturally be challenging to withstand the spatial changes of this black hole, but if one had high enough comprehension to recognize the patterns of the spatial changes, adapting to them would be like learning to swim, making resistance much easier.

“The aura of dead silence and extinction in this black hole, for the erosion of the mind, I can resist it for a long time…”

Amidst the dark void, Lin Qing confirmed his condition, “The spatial changes within this black hole also resemble the state of the Cosmic Wonder ‘Multi-Universal Black Hole’, likely forming a test modeled after it…”

For years, he had been in seclusion and cultivation inside the Vacuum Tomb, fully mastering the World God and other divine skills.

During other times, besides cultivating various secret techniques from the Celestial Vault Islands and honing his will, he also toured the ‘Cosmic Wonders Museum’ inside the Vacuum Tomb.

Even just touring those cosmic wonders he could comprehend took nearly a century.

Moreover, while waiting for the Star Divine Trial to open, hundreds of years had already passed on Earth, and the Blood Cauldron King Avatar occasionally pondered over those cosmic wonders, trying to touch the spirit mind and understand the true nature of space.

Therefore, Lin Qing immediately grasped the test of this black hole.

He also immediately realized the fastest way to pass.

“Brute force!”

At that moment, Lin Qing’s aura erupted, relying on the unparalleled World Divine Body, with the Black Flame Clone burning as well, he started forcefully counteracting the spatial changes’ power, beginning a strong breakthrough.

Perhaps…

Forcing a breakthrough was a clumsy method, but perceiving the spatial changes, mastering the patterns, and finding gaps and opportunities following those changes could also consume significant time.

But as long as one’s strength was formidable enough, exceeding the limits, brute force was the quickest way!

“Boom!”

As the fused Black Flame Clone burned life, the World Divine Power erupted fiercely, multiplying his strength several times over.

The spatial forces changing within the black hole immediately began to scatter, and Lin Qing abruptly broke through.

As the darkness and void before him dissipated, he emerged into another passageway.

“As I expected.”

Lin Qing glanced back, an amused smile appearing.

A person falling into a river needs to learn swimming skills to survive in it, but if a giant falls into the river, and the water flow can’t shake him, naturally, there’s no need to learn swimming.

Of course, this method required formidable strength; otherwise, it would be suicidal.

Only a Void Creature could possess the strength to forcibly break through spatial limits, so to use this method, one needed to be comparable to a Void Creature.

“This preliminary trial isn’t difficult for me; it’s just a matter of seeing when I can get out of the maze.”

“The consumption was rather high; it used up about thirty to forty percent of my energy…”

Lin Qing took a deep breath, temporarily released the World God, and started crazily absorbing the maze’s scarce free energy, recovering with incredible speed.

Simultaneously, he also continued flying along the maze passage.

Even without employing the World God, and with the Black Flame Clone not burning life, he still had the upper-level strength of Star Abyss Ninth Layer Upper, making flying within the maze quite simple.

Flying along the passage for a moment, when he saw the next black hole, his energy barely recovered to nearly full state.

Releasing the World God again and forcing a breakthrough, Lin Qing arrived at the next passage.

This cycle repeated.

After consecutively breaking through seven black hole checkpoints, Lin Qing still didn’t see the maze’s end and didn’t know how vast the maze was.

“Hmm?”

Suddenly, as Lin Qing was flying and recovering energy, he noticed three figures flying out of the intersection ahead.

One of them was over five meters tall, with bronze muscles all over, like a small giant.

It was none other than Turs!

The other two also seemed familiar with Turs and followed closely behind, clearly trying to absorb the scarce free energy in the passage to recover energy.

Seeing Lin Qing, all three were slightly taken aback.

Immediately following, a cruel smile couldn’t help but appear on Turs’ lips, “Your luck is really bad, coming straight to us?”
