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

Chapter 115 The Opportunity Within the Divine Fall Secret Realm (Bonus Chapter)
Such a precious treasure, to be truly used, requires more than just a simple branding of one's life mark.

It is also necessary to store the treasure inside one's body and nurture it with one's own power for a long time.

"Buzz!"

The nine longswords trembled slightly as Yu Duan successfully imprinted his life mark on them, then absorbed the treasure into his body.

boom!
The moment the treasure was absorbed into his body, Yu Duan stumbled and fell to the ground, instantly losing his 'human' shape and turning into a pile of snow.

weight!
very heavy!

The weight of the nine longswords was instantly added to Yu Duan's body. Even though it was weakened by many times, it still made it difficult for Yu Duan's Icefield Colossus clone to move.

Only after nurturing it for a sufficiently long time can one be considered to have successfully mastered this treasure and be able to control it freely.

Of course, having complete control is not the same as unleashing perfect power; these are two different concepts.

Before Yu Duan possessed the enlightenment of a king, even using a weaker black auxiliary sword, he could hardly unleash a wisp of its power.

Mastering the first level of the "Eternal Sword Domain" secret technique, using a secondary sword as a weapon, will not significantly increase the damage caused by Yu Duan's attacks.

However, this will change Yu Duan's attacks from simple physical attacks to 'true damage,' making even immortal beings unable to ignore Yu Duan's attacks, thus greatly enhancing his actual combat power.

"No, the clone needs to evolve first before it can move around even with difficulty."

Yu Duan only broke through to the Realm Lord level in his main body. If his clone in Chaos City wanted to break through, it would have to undergo an 'egg formation' evolution, allowing its genetic essence to leap and soar to 729 times that of an ordinary life form.

"Buzz!"

In an instant, the Nine Swords Treasures appeared and were put back into Yu Duan's World Ring.

Then Yu Duan also entered the world ring.

The evolution of the clone requires revealing its 'original form'. Once the evolution is complete, it will be a 'giant ice ball' with a diameter of 3 kilometers, which will be too conspicuous in Chaos City.

Therefore, you need to evolve within the World Ring, and then transform into human form after evolution.

"Boom!"

Within the vast world ring, a colossal Yu Duan, reaching a height of 1 kilometers, emerged.

The next moment, the towering figure suddenly collapsed, turning into endless wind and snow that spread out and filled the entire inner world.

At the very core of this icy storm, one can see a relatively tiny energy core.

"Evolution begins!"

hum!
With a thought, Yu Duan instantly gathered an endless snowstorm, enveloping the energy core and forming a giant ice and snow egg tens of thousands of kilometers high.

The cosmic crystals, resembling small mountains, were being rapidly devoured, transforming into immense energy that fueled the evolution of Du's clones.

"Half a month? That's not a long time."

Yu Duan sensed it briefly and immediately understood the timing of this evolution of the clone.

The last evolution from the peak of the universe level to the domain lord level took half a day.

This time it will take half a month, so the increase in time is not too large.

I'll take advantage of these two weeks to further study the secret techniques of "Eternal Sword Domain" and experience the comprehension speed of a true World Lord.

……

The primordial universe, the secret realm of fallen gods.

Within the secret realm, approximately 7000 million kilometers from the central mountain range, the surge of consciousness here is nearing the limit of the initial stage of Venerable Will.

Yu Duan's true form has been practicing here all these years.

After breaking through to the Realm Lord level, Yu Duan's true form expanded to 1.6 kilometers, just as he had predicted, from about 160 meters.

"After becoming immortal, that's a divine body that's 1.6 kilometers long, which isn't too small. As long as it's enough, it'll be fine."

Yu Duan stretched his towering body, which was over a thousand meters tall, about the same height as the highest peak of Wudang Mountain, a famous scenic spot in his previous life.

Even the Ultraman tokusatsu series I watched in my past life wasn't as big as Yu Duan's fingers.

"Your Highness has already broken through to the Realm Lord level. Should we return to the Primal Secret Realm?"

Beside him, the divine body of Venerable Putuo also shrank to about 1.6 kilometers, appearing to be the same height as Yu Duan.

“Senior Putuo, I have already paid my respects to Master Uncle Chaos. Master Uncle Chaos instructed my main body to go to Chaos City, while my avatar will go directly to the outer battlefield for training!”

Yu Duan did not hide anything from Venerable Putuo.

Venerable Putuo is trustworthy and would never betray his teacher, the Lord of Darkness.

Otherwise, the Lord of Darkness would not have sent Venerable Putuo to protect Yu Duan's true form.

“Alright, then I will escort the Third Prince back to Chaos City.”

The mechanical head of Venerable Putuo nodded, and then the lounge hatch on his chest opened again.

Upon seeing this, Yu Duan instantly activated his movement technique to enter the rest room.

"Om..."

Suddenly, a buzzing sound echoed in Yu Duan's consciousness.

In an instant, the world spun around, and darkness descended, transforming into a vast and boundless expanse of deep space and time.

A majestic and mighty golden river flows across this dark and deep sky.

That golden river flows mightily, with no source and no end in sight.

Countless chaotic mists, similar to those in the primordial universe, swirled on the river's surface, appearing hazy and mysterious.

"Human, I have been observing you for hundreds of years, and you are excellent!"

A grand voice echoed throughout the space.

Then, a chaotic crystal emerged from the endless golden river and appeared in front of Yu Duan's consciousness.

Compared to this crystal, Yu Duan's consciousness seemed extremely small.

"I've met senior!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Yu Duan immediately bowed respectfully.

Regardless of what kind of existence this crystal is, it's perfectly acceptable to call it "senior".

"You're good at staying calm."

A voice, or more accurately, a thought, came from the crystal, which Yu Duan would interpret as a voice.

"I am the spirit of the 'Golden River Treasure,' and your talent gives you the potential to become my master!"

The intention within the crystal was very gentle; through direct communication of consciousness, Yu Duan was able to perceive the goodwill within it.

In fact, through logical understanding, it can be known that the spirit of the 'Golden River' is benevolent towards Duan.

Otherwise, Yu Duan might be dead by now.

"Senior... what is this 'Golden River Treasure' you're referring to?"

Yu Duan quickly inquired, "The Golden River Treasure is my true form, and it's even more powerful than the supreme treasure you speak of!"

"However, it is now incomplete, with only a core remaining, and it has little power left."

“More than 16000 trillion epochs ago, as you say, my existence was discovered by a universe's strongest being called ‘Ancient Mountain,’ who brought me to the primordial universe and wanted me to acknowledge him as his master.”

“I told him that he is not yet capable of making me acknowledge him as God.”

"He didn't believe it, and as a result, he died."

The crystal rippled with concentric circles of light, each circle containing a piece of information, communicating with Yu Duan.

If it were an ordinary native, they would definitely be shocked that a treasure could possess consciousness.

However, as a time traveler, Yu Duan naturally knew that treasures possessing consciousness did exist.

"Senior Jinhe, do you think I am qualified to use you?"

Yu Duan avoided using the word "master" to avoid causing any unnecessary trouble.

"Not yet, you need to at least become a Cosmic Venerable..."

This spirit of the Golden River seems to be very talkative, or perhaps it has been holding back for many years and has become a chatterbox.

Yu Duan only asked one question, but the spirit of the Jinhe River talked on and on for a long time.

However, Yu Duan also gained a lot of information as a result.

The spirit of the Golden River has actually been annihilated once. Along with the loss of the Golden River treasure, the spirit of that treasure also perished.

The current Spirit of the Golden River is not the original Spirit of the Golden River, but a newly conceived one.

Therefore, we don't know much about this new Golden River Spirit.

It itself is unaware of what level of treasure it is.

It only knew that its former master was a super being who followed the general and sailed a large ship into the cosmic sea.

Under the general's command are 24 super beings of this caliber, one of whom was his former master, who commanded countless of the strongest beings in the universe.

The weapon of the strongest in the universe is what humans call the ultimate treasure.

And it is its master's strongest weapon, which must be much more powerful than the weapon of the strongest being in the universe.

"After you become a cosmic sovereign, if your level of will can reach the level of the strongest in the universe, you will be able to possess me."

"But you need to help me repair myself and find my former master's body!"

Yu Duan readily agreed.

Regardless of whether what the spirit of the treasure said is true or false, we certainly cannot refuse now, or we will be in trouble if we anger it.

Based on the words of the spirit of this treasure, Yu Duan was able to roughly determine some of the situation.

The general mentioned by the spirit of the treasure should be the one who piloted the spaceship into the cosmic sea.

The owner of this treasure should be the commander under that general.

It's unclear whether he's an Eternal True God-level being like Duan Donghe, or a Void True God-level ruler.

Even the spirit of the treasure itself was unaware of this; it didn't even know what these realms were called.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that the spirit of this treasure was a deception.

Why did you choose me, senior?

“My grandmaster should have come here back then. He was the strongest being in the Cosmic Sea and created a tenth-order secret technique.”

Yu Duan was very curious about this.

You should know that the original ancestor definitely had this ability.

The True God, possessing the will of an eternal true god, was greatly admired by the Mountain Dweller.

According to what Yu Duan knew, the reason why the Godfall Secret Realm was occupied by the human race was because of the rise of the Primordial Ancestor, who conquered a large territory.

Therefore, it is highly likely that the original ancestor also came to this strange realm of divine fall.

"For me to acknowledge you as my master, your will needs to transcend two levels of cultivation."

"The Cosmic Venerable possesses the will of the strongest being in the universe, so there is still some hope."

"It's practically impossible for the will of the strongest being in the universe to surpass one's own level."

"In your universe, there are only a handful of beings who have transcended reincarnation, so how could there be anyone comparable to my former master?"

"Don't be fooled by your strong will now. Even when you become a cosmic venerable, you may not possess the will of the strongest being in the universe."

The spirit of this treasure spoke with considerable confidence, and was filled with disdain for life in the cosmic sea.

Clearly, the Primordial Ancestor, who possessed the potential to become a God-King, was mistaken by the Spirit of the Treasure for an ordinary tenth-order True God.

"Over the years, I have only seen you, little one, who have the potential to make me acknowledge you as my master."

"You must remember, after you become the Supreme Being of the Universe, come here to find me!"

The spirit of the Golden River was also somewhat worried that Yu Duan wouldn't return, and gave him repeated instructions.

If Yu Duan really doesn't come back, then it might really have no hope of recovery.

……

"Your Highness?"

Venerable Putuo was somewhat puzzled as to why Yu Duan suddenly paused for a moment.

Clearly, Venerable Putuo was unaware of the conversation between the spirit of the treasure and Yu Duan.

"I'm sorry, senior, I just suddenly remembered something."

Yu Duan didn't explain further, and with a flash, he hurriedly left this place of 'trouble'.

After getting away from the Divine Fall Secret Realm, Yu Duan finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to carefully consider his conversation with the spirit of the Golden River Treasure.

After a short while, Yu Duan was basically certain that the spirit of the Golden River Treasure was most likely genuine.

If you're going to deceive yourself, then there's too much to say about the spirit of the treasure.

Talking too much makes it easy to give yourself away.

It would be better to just say a sentence or two that you are the spirit of the supreme treasure, and directly trick Yu Duan into taking the supreme treasure and offering it to him to devour.

In the original novel, the spirit of the treasure that killed Wu Yuyi was used to deceive Luo Feng in this way, but Luo Feng discovered it.

"Once I become the Supreme Being of the Universe, I will have my avatar come over."

"If it can successfully recognize its master, that would be even better. Then we can use the information from this treasure to explore the cosmic sea."

"It doesn't matter if I fail. When I become stronger, I can force it to recognize me as its master."
