Swallow the starry sky, grind to become the strongest in the universe

Chapter 110 Journey to the Initial Universe
Virtual universe, the exclusive space of the Demon Lord.

Inside a magnificent palace, Yu Duan walked along a corridor.

"I have met His Highness!"

"Little uncle!"

Wherever Yu Duan went, numerous immortal gods hurriedly bowed to him. These immortal gods were almost all Marquis-level beings.

Among them were two immortal kings, who were disciples of the second senior brother, the Netherworld Demon Venerable.

A moment later, Yu Duan entered a palace with a dark red theme.

"Senior brother."

Yu Duan's voice reached the ears of the Demon Lord.

When the Demon Lord saw his junior brother, he grinned and said, "Junior brother, you have made a great contribution in this operation."

"This time, the company successfully uncovered a cosmic spies who had been lurking in the upper echelons of the company for over two billion epochs."

A spy from the Cosmic Venerable?
Yu Duan was slightly surprised that there really was a spy of this caliber lurking inside the Virtual Universe Company.

It is also unclear how much classified information has been leaked during these two billion epochs.

It should be noted that although the Lord of Chaos City is the highest authority in the Virtual Universe Company...

However, the Chaos City Lord does not concern himself with more than 99% of the company's affairs, and the same goes for other great beings at the level of universe lords.

Therefore, most affairs within the Virtual Universe Company are handled by multiple venerable figures on a rotating basis.

Yu Duan suddenly remembered that the fall of Kodi in the original work might also be related to this cosmic spies.
After all, geniuses of this caliber would conceal their identities even when they went out, to avoid being targeted by alien races.

If there hadn't been an intelligence leak, how could they have been specifically targeted for assassination by an alien race?

"Senior brother, a spy at the level of a Universe Venerable should be quite rare, right?"

In response to Duan's question, the Netherworld Venerable laughed and said, "Of course, how could a Universe Venerable be so easily controlled by a soul?"

"As far as I know, the last time a Cosmic Venerable was controlled by an alien race was countless billions of epochs ago..."

Spies at the level of a Cosmic Venerable are already rare.

If an alien race were to successfully plant a spy at the level of a Cosmic Venerable within the human race, they would generally not use it lightly.

The fact that this operation managed to expose the Cosmic Venerable's spy was already an unexpected bonus.

"Junior brother, you have made great contributions in this operation, and the clan will naturally reward you."

"There are two reward options. Option 1: You will immediately receive 10 billion Chaos Units in cash and a Soul Crystal Fruit."

"Second option: After you break through to the Immortal level in the future, you can receive a 'treasure' as a reward."

The Demon Lord first informed Duan of the two plans, and then continued, "Junior Brother, this Soul Crystal Fruit is a treasure for cleansing the soul, and its value is about one-tenth that of a great treasure."

"Treasured items are generally only possessed by cosmic venerables, and they possess many supernatural abilities..."

The Demon Lord worried that Yu Duan might not understand the value of the treasure.

He explained to Yu Duan in detail what constitutes a truly valuable treasure.

Even the worst treasure can easily sell for over 10 trillion Chaos Units.

"Second Brother, I choose the first option."

Yu Duan's words startled the Demon Lord.

"Junior brother, didn't you understand my explanation? Although Soul Crystal Fruit is precious, it can't compare to a great treasure."

Upon seeing this, Yu Duan quickly explained, "Senior brother, I understand."

"If I can obtain a great treasure after breaking through to the Realm Lord level, then I will definitely choose the great treasure."

"But the second option requires me to break through to immortality to obtain this treasure, which is unnecessary."

After listening to Yu Duan's explanation, the Demon Lord nodded and smiled, "Junior Brother is quite confident."

"Very well. In that case, I will report my junior brother's choice to the company, and the Soul Crystal Fruit will be delivered to him within 30 days."

……

The sacred site of the Northern Ming, within the palace of Yu Duan.

"The price of this Soul Crystal Fruit cannot be found."

After bidding farewell to his second senior brother, the Netherworld Venerable, Yu Duan took the opportunity to search for information about the Soul Crystal Fruit through the virtual universe.

Then I only found a very simple introduction.

The Soul Crystal Fruit is a treasure for soul purification, and it also has a slight effect on cosmic venerables. It is born in a special cosmic secret realm and takes a long time of 100,000 epochs from its inception to maturity.

It is important to know that in the virtual universe treasure vault, there are many treasures worth trillions of Chaos Units, comparable to one-tenth the value of a major treasure, or even more precious.

For example, the 'Kaso Weapon' is an extremely powerful treasure.

Kasuo's weapon only needs to pierce the immortal divine body, and even if it is at the limit of the King Sealing Realm, the divine body will be annihilated in an instant. The price is no less than 5 trillion Chaos Units.

There are about 200 similar treasures, generally ranging from trillions to 10 trillion Chaos Units.

"It seems that the treasure that Senior Brother Youmo mentioned, worth one-tenth of its value, should be 0.1 treasure points. It's not a treasure that can be bought with Hunyuan units or points."

Yu Duan was somewhat looking forward to seeing how amazing the effect would be of using a treasure of this caliber to cleanse the soul of a mere Domain Lord-level nobody like himself.

There are advantages to being at a lower level.

Many treasures may only have a slight effect on beings of higher realms, but their effects on beings of lower realms can be incredibly powerful.

"The Soul Crystal Fruit needs to be consumed by the main body, so just send it directly to the Godfall Secret Realm."

Yu Duan has applied to go to the initial universe for 300 years of secluded cultivation.

With the support of the primordial universe environment and the baptism of the Soul Crystal Fruit, Yu Duan was confident that he could pass through the Domain Lord-level Primordial Tongtian Mountain before leaving Chaos City.

However, this time, Yu Duan only sent his Icefield Colossus avatar, which possessed a higher talent for laws, to the Initial Universe. As for his main body, he remained in the Godfall Secret Realm to hone his will.

As long as it's not a test of willpower under extreme conditions, a certain level of pressure can keep Yu Duan's will focused at all times. This will not only have no negative impact on his comprehension of the laws, but will also have a certain amplification effect.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.

Inside the Godfall Secret Realm, atop a high peak.

"Third Prince, please undergo the baptism of the Soul Crystal Fruit within my body."

Venerable Putuo spoke, and his towering mechanical body, reaching a height of 10 kilometers, roared. The outline of a hatch appeared in the chest, and then it opened.

Inside the cabin door is a small lounge.

Each powerful member of the mechanical race has a different body; some are designed as war machines, while others are geared towards support roles.

The body of Venerable Putuo can be described as a human-shaped spaceship.

"Thank you, senior!"

Holding a pale gold square box, Yu Duan bowed and thanked Venerable Putuo before transforming into a stream of light and disappearing into the rest room.

In the lounge, Yu Duan opened the pale gold square box.

Instantly, an indescribable fragrance wafted through the air. This fragrance could make even sentient beings feel their souls being nourished.

In the center of the box is a crystal-clear fruit the size of a longan, its entire body resembling black jade, faintly shimmering with a bluish-purple light.

"Let me see the effects of this treasure."

Without the slightest hesitation, Yu Duan picked up the Soul Crystal Fruit and swallowed it.

As the fruit's skin was bitten through, the entire fruit rapidly melted, transforming into a strange, black jade-like liquid that instantly spread out, turning into countless streams of black jade energy deep within the sea of ​​consciousness.

A tingling sensation spread through my soul.

The countless streams of black jade-like energy seeped into the depths of Yu Duan's soul, instantly causing a change in the very essence of his soul.

Unlike changes in the physical body and genes, this transformation of the soul brings only an indescribable sense of comfort.

The entire transformation process lasted only about half an hour.

After the soul transformation was complete, Yu Duan was able to clearly perceive the changes in himself.

"The speed at which consciousness and thought processes operate has increased far too much... to the point that it can even rival intelligent life of the same level."

The increase in the speed of thought processing may not seem obvious, but in reality, it greatly enhances combat effectiveness.

Furthermore, there is a significant increase in the ability to delve into the laws of nature. After all, with faster thinking speed, the time required to explore various mysteries will be greatly reduced.

At this moment, the entire world seemed to slow down dozens of times in Yu Duan's eyes, producing an effect similar to 'bullet time'.

Of course, in addition to the increased speed of conscious thought, another transformation is the alignment of the soul with the origin of the laws of the universe, and the perception of the fluctuations of the laws will become clearer.

In addition to this, the final effect was that Yu Duan had perfect control over his own soul.

Just like perfect control over the physical body, it can unleash the power of telekinesis to its limit a hundredfold.

Although Yu Duan is not a pure mentalist, his improvement in this area has significantly enhanced the effectiveness of his illusion techniques.

"Third Prince, how is the effect?"

Venerable Putuo's voice echoed throughout the lounge.

Yu Duan smiled and said, "The improvement is obvious. I owe the clan even more now."

Since Yu Duan joined the Northern Ming Holy Land, he has consumed countless treasures to enhance his talents and aptitudes.

It has basically reached the upper limit that can be achieved through acquired improvement.

Those treasures that can be bought with points are unlikely to have any effect on Yu Duan now.

"Haha, this is not a debt of gratitude; it is simply the meaning of the clan's existence. When the Third Prince becomes a true powerhouse in the future, he will also need to make contributions to the younger generation of the clan."

"Of course, that day won't be too late."

……

The Primal Secret Realm, the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company.

The spaceship bound for the initial universe is docked at the starport.

Before boarding the spaceship, Yu Duan looked at Tu Yu, who had been following him.

"Tu Yu, thank you for protecting me all these years."

Yu Duan looked at Tu Yu beside him with some emotion, having been his bodyguard for nearly a thousand years.

Tu Yu has become the person Yu Duan has spent the most time with in this world.

"Uncle-Master, you're too kind. This is simply my duty, and besides... I haven't been protecting His Highness in any way."

Tu Yu felt that his position as commander of the guards was more like a pendant or a housekeeper, helping Yu Duan handle many trivial matters.

They failed to fulfill their true duty as the guards.

"By the time I leave Chaos City again, I should be at the peak of the Realm Lord level, and there won't be any more guards then... So let's consider this a farewell."

Yu Duan had just received 1 billion Mixed Yuan Units in cash and directly transferred 100 million Mixed Yuan Units to Tu Yu.

This sum of money was an unattainable fortune for Tu Yu, who was still a step away from achieving the highest rank of nobility.

"Uncle-Master, this is too much. I am truly unworthy of it."

Tu Yu hurriedly spoke, but at this moment, Yu Duan had already transformed into a stream of light and entered the spaceship.

As the cosmic passage opened, the spaceship transformed into a streak of light, disappeared into the primordial universe, and vanished.
