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

Chapter 117 Three Hundred Years

Most of the day passed.

Inside the quiet room, Yu Duan was enveloped in a golden halo, resembling a humanoid, ferocious beast.

Yu Duan simply sat there, and the terrifying, fierce aura he exuded, along with the pressure of his consciousness, was enough to overwhelm even an ordinary peak-level World Lord.

"21 Blood Crystals, 78 drops of Beast God's Blood, only one last step left!"

Yu Duan's face was somewhat pale. He already felt like he was nearing his limit when he fused with the 78th drop of Beast God's blood.

The burden of the Beast God's blood on the level of will is not too bad.

With his willpower at the level of a Universe Venerable, he could easily withstand the impact of the Beast God's blood will.

However, the physical strain was still too much for my body.

Yu Duan's compatibility with the Blood Crystal is comparable to that of the Golden Horned Beast, far surpassing that of ordinary humans, yet it is still so difficult.

If it were anyone else, even with unlimited resources, they would almost certainly not be able to possess a hundred times the genetic level compared to someone at the level of a Cosmic Venerable.

"Roar!"

As the blood of the Beast God flew out from the 79th transistor, a beastly roar echoed out.

The golden light enveloping Yu Duan surged and roared like waves.

At this moment, the power of blood within his body was also boiling and reviving wildly, seemingly yearning to reach true perfection.

"Come!"

Boom!

As the last drop of the Beast God's blood merged into his body, waves of terrifying will swept through Duan's consciousness.

"kill!"

"Damn it, they all deserve to die!!!"

An endless, terrifying roar echoed, as if it had resounded since time immemorial, spanning countless eras, reverberating within Yu Duan's consciousness.

"town!"

Yu Duan's will instantly collapsed and condensed to its extreme, forcefully resisting the impact of this terrifying killing intent.

The intensity of this murderous intent was even stronger than the impact of Yu Duan's will during his tempering in the Divine Fall Secret Realm, belonging to the ordinary level of a Universe Venerable.

Not only in terms of willpower, Yu Duan's body is also undergoing drastic and bizarre changes!

His body expanded rapidly like a balloon, and his extremely resilient dragon scale skin was torn open with countless wounds.

Various bizarre horns, scales, and claw fragments pierced out of Yu Duan's body; one even had a curved horn that pierced from his neck down to his jaw and out through his mouth and nose.

This anomaly lasted for nearly half a day, and the absorption was finally completed before Yu Duan's body completely collapsed.

As the strange changes subsided, Yu Duan's body returned to normal.

"Success! We've finally reached the pinnacle of perfection!"

Yu Duan felt waves of soreness all over his body, and his muscles were extremely fatigued, but he was recovering rapidly under the nourishment of the world's power.

A moment later, after his body had mostly recovered from its exhaustion, Yu Duan opened his eyes.

"Bloodlust Power, activate!"

Boom!

An invisible blast of air exploded outwards, creating a terrifying air explosion.

An ancient and profound aura emanated from Yu Duan's body, causing his muscles to bulge instantly, and terrifying power surged throughout his entire body.

Countless fine, blood-red threads emerged on every tiny dragon scale on Yu Duan's skin, and the shapes of those scales changed slightly, revealing a sharp edge!
Finally, those blood-red threads outlined a complex image of a roaring beast god on Yu Duan's chest!
The dazzling starlight and golden light intertwined, and at this moment, Yu Duan seemed to transform into a golden sun, shining brightly.

"A hundred times the power of a peak World Lord!"

Yu Duan felt his power surge a hundredfold in an instant, and he was even able to tear open spatial rifts with just his physical strength.

Some powerful realm lords, when unleashing their full power through secret techniques, may be able to tear open space.

Immortal gods, on the other hand, can do it with just brute force.

The process of being granted titles of nobility or kingship was even easier.

Especially when a powerful expert who has reached the King level spreads out their aura, the space becomes unbearable and cracks appear.

"Amplitude Secret Technique, activate!"

"Innate Secret Technique, Enhance!"

In an instant, Yu Duan's aura surged twice.

First, the Amplification Secret Technique was unleashed, causing Yu Duan's power to surge to 2500 times that of a Realm Lord.

With the added enhancement of innate secret techniques, it directly becomes 5000 times the power of a realm lord.

In terms of pure strength, Yu Duan is already comparable to a high-level immortal who has been granted the title of Marquis.

As for his mastery of the laws, Yu Duan was able to pass through the sixteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge, which is not low among those who are enfeoffed as Marquises and immortals.

"Judging only from the combat power of the human body itself, the difference between it and a true Marquis-level immortal is only in 'immortality' and 'burning divine power'."

"Once the Frost Sky Beast's avatar evolves to the peak of the Realm Lord level, even an Immortal at the barely Marquis level can be destroyed with a flick of the wrist!"

Yu Duan's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he adapted to the surging power within his body.

In the future, I will have to try to maintain the activation of Bloodlust Power, Amplification Secret Technique, and Enhancement Talent for a long time.

Yu Duan also needs a period of time to adapt so that various amplitudes and enhancements can be maintained in a constant state.

This practice actually puts a certain burden on one's will, since the secret technique needs to be constantly activated.

However, Yu Duan's greatest strength lies in his will!

……

After humanity itself completed this qualitative change.

Yu Duan then returned to seclusion, not wanting to waste the time he had spent comprehending the initial universe.

Time passes day by day.

In the blink of an eye, nearly two years have passed quietly.

This day.

On the rooftop, Yu Duan's true form sat cross-legged, studying the mysteries of time suspension, his mind and will immersed in the wonders of the 11th layer of the "Eternal Cycle" suspension chapter.

At this moment, Yu Duan is inside his body.

The frost-covered behemoth, which had transformed into countless tentacles, was immersed in a huge pool of water.

This pool is extraordinary; various mysterious forces ripple within it—the power of the 'mother fluid of life'.

The Frost Sky Beast clone is enormous in size and has a genetic level 729 times higher.

Therefore, evolution takes a long time, but it's almost over.

In the past two years, the Frost Sky Beast has evolved to the ninth level of the Realm Lord level and is about to reach the limit of the ninth level.

"Om..."

Suddenly, a familiar, pulsating feeling came from the level of the mind and consciousness.

Yu Duan was immediately awakened by this feeling of excitement.

"The Book of Cause and Effect has finished cooling down!"

With a thought, Yu Duan focused his consciousness and looked at the Book of Cause and Effect: "Advance access to the 'Eternal Cycle' pause chapter, eleventh level of enlightenment."

Boom! A deafening roar exploded within Yu Duan's consciousness.

As if the heavens and earth had been created, a profound sense of time pausing surged into Yu Duan's mind.

Countless flashes of inspiration collided within Yu Duan's heart, and various new understandings of the changes in time emerged during the collision.

It wasn't until half a day later that Yu Duan emerged from this profound state of enlightenment.

"Time resonance... is also a fundamental change in the laws of time."

With a sudden thought, Yu Duan stood up and walked to the edge of the rooftop.

Meanwhile, in the same spot, there was another figure, Yu Duan, sitting cross-legged, maintaining the posture of someone who had just comprehended the laws of time.

This is a simple application after mastering the changes of 'time resonance', which can leave its own traces in space and time, similar to spatial illusion.

Of course, this is the simplest application of 'time resonance', and its actual power completely surpasses the so-called spatial illusion.

This change is also the most fundamental change in the laws of time. Not only does 'time pause' require mastering time resonance, but 'time acceleration' and 'time deceleration' also require mastering this fundamental change.

A moment later, the phantom left by the time resonance dissipated.

"The cost of repaying the eleventh level in advance is only 39 years, which is about twice as long as before. Not bad."

When Yu Duan was studying the secret techniques, he gained insights at a lower level in advance, and the cost of repaying those insights was about three times higher.

The higher one's understanding of the laws, the more difficult it becomes to comprehend the mysteries of the laws of time... and the higher the price to pay, the smaller it becomes.

It seems a bit unusual, but there's a reason for it.

The reason is that Yu Duan successfully integrated and thoroughly understood the 108 kinds of time essence.

The fusion of 108 essential aspects of time forms the basis for all changes in the laws of time.

Once you master this step, the difficulty of understanding the changes in various time laws will be greatly reduced.

"39 years, which is less than four years in Chaos City."

"Come on, let's see how much my understanding of the laws will improve after these 300 years of secluded cultivation."

……

Years pass.

Nearly four years have passed in the blink of an eye; it is now the ninth year that Yu Duan has been cultivating in seclusion in Chaos City.

The Book of Cause and Effect has cooled down.

Yu Duan decisively pre-emptively drew upon the twelfth layer of insights from "Pause Chapter".

As expected, the price to be paid was 81 years of studying the mysteries of the 'time-stopping' transformation.

The increase in advance costs has also remained at around two times.

Having mastered the first twelve levels of the Time Stop Secret Technique, Yu Duan's mastery of the laws can be considered to have reached the peak of the sixteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge.

"The twelfth to thirteenth floor is a threshold."

"Based on previous patterns, the cost of overspending beyond the threshold will increase tenfold!"

"But that was before. I had mastered the mysteries of 108 essential fusions, which greatly reduced the difficulty of comprehending the changes in the laws. It's not necessarily still 10 times!"

Yu Duan mentally estimated that if the increase was based on the previous advance payment costs, it would be reasonable.

It takes millions of years to fully comprehend one of the three major changes in the laws of time.

Even if one were to pass through all 18 levels of the Heavenly Bridge and remain in the Chaos City to cultivate in seclusion, it would still take hundreds of thousands of years.

This is not much different from a 'normal' genius like Kodi.

"81 years, which is 8 years in Chaos City!"

"Eight years later, when you receive the thirteenth level of enlightenment in advance, you'll know the outcome."

……

He has been cultivating in seclusion in Chaos City for 16 years.

Yu Duan is in excellent condition, has gained a deeper understanding of the mysteries of time, and has completed the progress bar a year ahead of schedule.

The 13th level of the Time-Pause Secret Technique requires a repayment period of approximately 320 years.

If one comprehends the teachings within the Chaos City, it will only take about 32 years.

The cost of advance payment has increased by about four times, which is much lower than ten times.

Part of the reason is because of mastering 108 essential fusions.

Another reason is that Yu Duan himself also realized many truths and did not rely entirely on the pre-requisites of the Book of Cause and Effect.

……

He has been cultivating in seclusion in Chaos City for 45 years.

The Book of Cause and Effect has finished cooling down, and Yu Duan has pre-borrowed time to pause the 14th level of the Secret Technique.

It would take 626 years to repay the price, while it would take 62 and a half years within Chaos City.

It can be basically determined that the progress bar pattern is that each small layer becomes about twice as long, and the threshold of every three layers is about four times as long.

……

Time flows like a long river, never to return.

In the blink of an eye, Yu Duan had been cultivating in seclusion in Chaos City for a full three hundred years.

Within Chaos City, on the rooftops of various cultivation residences, one can see figures sitting cross-legged, diligently cultivating.

On the rooftop of one of the cultivation residences, Yu Duan gazed at the externally manifested law patterns revealed by the spatial rifts high in the sky.

The Frost Sky Beast clone, on the other hand, logged into the virtual universe to study the three secret techniques: "Eternal Cycle," "The Principle of Space," and "Eternal Sword Domain."

"Master, this is an official communication from Virtual Universe Company!"

Natural's figure appeared, staring at a large screen above his head, displaying the 'caller' information.

"Connect!"

As soon as Yu Duan finished speaking, a figure shrouded in mist appeared on the screen.

"Yu Duan, your initial universe comprehension time at the Domain Lord level has ended. Do you wish to apply for World Lord level comprehension time?"

The figure shrouded in mist was clearly not an immortal deity, but his tone still carried a friendly and benevolent tone towards Duan.

Yu Duan smiled and said, "Thank you for the notification, senior. I will not continue to apply."

The figure shrouded in mist was not surprised to hear this, after all, the results of applying repeatedly were not very good.

"Yes, you can apply for more time to meditate at the Realm Lord level within the next 10 days."

After saying that, the call was immediately disconnected.

After the communication ended, Tianran's puzzled voice rang in Yu Duan's mind through a thought transmission.

"Master, didn't you say that I should cultivate in Chaos City to attract attention, while my clones went to the outer battlefields to hone their skills?"

Yu Duan naturally wouldn't hide his auxiliary AI: "Of course, it's just that I no longer need to apply for comprehension time."

"what?"

Naturally, she had some doubts, but dared not ask any further questions.

Yu Duan let out a long sigh: "Three hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye. It's too fast, I didn't even feel it."
