With two initial Venerable-Level individuals fallen, the remaining high-level and mid-level Venerable-Level individuals of the Monster Race had not yet escaped from the illusion. As the strongest in terms of mental fortitude on Earth, Hong's current mental fortitude is almost unrivaled in the Universe.
Even Qin Hao's current mental fortitude does not dare to claim complete superiority over Hong. Qin Hao's mental fortitude and will transformation are related; a powerful will drives the improvement of mental fortitude, reaching the 'Saint' realm. However, his control over his state of mind has not yet been completed.
An illusion set up by such a master of mental fortitude would affect not only Venerable-Level individuals but even some Universe Lords. What truly limits Hong's strength now is still the improvement of his fundamental understanding of laws and realms. As long as he reaches the corresponding realm, Hong's strength will greatly increase.
An illusion truly competes not only in the comprehension of laws but more so in the confrontation of the mind. It quickly finds the mind's flaws and the will's weaknesses, drawing enemies into an infinite illusion. Even if it's only for an instant, for a strong individual, it is fatal.
Within the Time River, the two Venerable-Level individuals of the Monster Race were completely trapped in the illusion. Their mental flaws were infinitely magnified, and their weak wills had already sunk into oblivion.
Even with the erosion of the surrounding Time River and Thunder God's attacks, neither of them woke up. Their divine bodies were rapidly being eroded, gradually being completely annihilated.
"As expected, they are the two most talented individuals on Earth. No wonder in the original work, they were able to become a Universe Lord and a Universe Strongest," he couldn't help but exclaim, watching Hong and Thunder God's attacks.
Without the golden finger, Qin Hao wasn't sure if he could compare to Hong and Thunder God. Even with some advantages from his past life's memories, truly integrating into and comprehending the entire world was far from simple.
However, Qin Hao was confident that he could also forge his own path, slowly becoming a strong individual in the Universe. Currently, although his achievements were bolstered by the golden finger, they were also the result of his own step-by-step cultivation. The insights gained from each realm and the comprehension of each law were all results of Qin Hao truly experiencing and gradually understanding them.
The current Qin Hao would not deny others, and likewise, he could face himself, his current cultivation, realm, and mind.
The current cultivation of Hong and Thunder God also involved Qin Hao's influence, and compared to the original work, Qin Hao had provided a lot of assistance and guidance. Qin Hao believed that even before the later stages, both of them would be able to become a Universe Lord, a True God, and even surpass their achievements in the original work.
Both of them have the potential to achieve higher accomplishments. The enhancement of mental fortitude becomes more apparent the further one cultivates. Their cultivation progress will be faster than cultivators of the same level, and their bottlenecks will be smaller.
The further one cultivates, it's not merely about comprehending laws, or rather, the comprehension of laws doesn't solely rely on so-called talent, but also on the enhancement of the mind, will, soul, and other aspects.
Just like when Qin Hao was cultivating in the initial realms, his comprehension and talent were very strong, and his speed of comprehending laws was also very fast. At the Planetary Level and Astral Rank, he had already comprehended multiple laws, and even had a very deep understanding of superior law.
However, upon reaching a certain point, his cultivation progress gradually slowed down. Ultimately, the soul's capacity is limited, and a limited vessel cannot contain more law comprehension.
Even though Qin Hao's limit for containment far exceeds that of other cultivators, there are still bottlenecks. This is true in every realm, and it becomes more apparent in the later stages.
The automatic growth of the soul is, to a certain extent, lagging behind the growth of the divine body. When the divine body breaks through in cultivation, it will be strengthened by the Primordial Universe, but the soul's breakthrough relies more on its own growth, the increase in mental fortitude, and benefits more from its own experiences and insights.
Upon reaching the Venerable-Level and Universe Lord, the importance of mental fortitude and will became apparent.
After eliminating the enemies, Hong and Thunder God directly came to Qin Hao's side.
"Venerable-Level strong individuals have begun to enter the Outside Territory Battlefield. The time left for you two is not much. You only have a hundred years in the Tongtian Pillar. Once the time is up, you will be directly dispatched to the Outside Territory Battlefield. Therefore, during these hundred years, quickly improve your cultivation and accumulate insights," Qin Hao said to the two. With a flick of his sleeve, a black hole directly appeared before them. On the other side of the black hole, a huge stone pillar came into view.
"Can we join the battle directly now?" Thunder God asked Qin Hao, looking at the spatial passage. With the improvement of their cultivation, both felt more confident. Moreover, the recent battle with four Universe Exalts made Thunder God clearly feel the change in his own strength.
"The battle in the Outside Territory Battlefield has just begun and will last for a long time. Your most important task now is to improve your cultivation and play a greater role," Qin Hao did not directly answer. Qin Hao was very clear about their positioning.
"For you two, your goal is not the Venerable-Level. The enemies you will face after coming out will be at least Universe Overlords. I want both of you to reach the Universe Lord as quickly as possible, so next, you need to accelerate your comprehension of Space Law," Qin Hao said, giving them no more time to react. He directly enveloped the two with divine power and teleported them to the area where the Tongtian Pillar was located.
The two appeared in the Tongtian Pillar area and were not repelled. Seeing that they were already in the Tongtian Pillar area, the two also knew the outcome and flew directly towards the core area of the Tongtian Pillar.
The Tongtian Pillar has clear divisions, but it is more determined by one's own endurance. Most cultivators only stay in the area corresponding to their cultivation, or even an area lower than their cultivation. Ultimately, it is a matter of will strength.
However, Hong and Thunder God's will far surpassed their realms. Under Thunder God's guidance, the two quickly entered the core area of the Tongtian Pillar. After entering the Venerable-Level area, they continued forward.
"Two new Universe Exalts? I didn't expect two Universe Exalts to be born right after the battle in the Outside Territory Battlefield began. Are they King Huanguang and King Shilei?"
"Now they should be called Venerable Huanguang and Venerable Shilei. Venerable Shilei had cultivated in the Tongtian Pillar before; at the World Lord Rank, he directly entered the Venerable-Level area. After becoming an Undying, he even directly entered the Universe Lord area."
"I heard that Venerable Shilei already had the strength of a King-level Invincible as soon as he became an Undying. After entering the Outside Territory Battlefield, he quickly became famous and has now killed over a thousand Undying individuals."
Every word, every sentence, every detail is correct!
"Venerable Huanguang and Venerable Shilei are both fellow countrymen of the Star Controller. I never thought that a native planet back then would now have four top-tier strong individuals."
Thunder God and Hong quickly entered the Universe Lord area, where the surrounding time flow rate had already reached a thousand times. The two also stopped. The highest time flow rate in the entire Tongtian Pillar area is a thousand times. Here, the two can cultivate better.
A hundred years of time here is equivalent to one hundred thousand years, which is enough for the two to digest their insights and even advance further on the path of a Universe Exalt, especially in Fusion Laws.
However, the two did not intend to spend their time on Fusion Laws but instead planned to comprehend Space Law. The difficulty of Fusion Laws is undoubtedly higher, and even reaching the seventh stage requires comprehending the beast god heart to break through.
