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

Chapter 140 The Undead Demon Banyan Clone's Power Soars

"My level of understanding of the laws is still somewhat low."

Inside the military base, Yu Duan half-closed his eyes, pondering his biggest problem.

"There's nothing I can do. I haven't been cultivating for long enough. My understanding of the laws can't be improved overnight."

"Although I can stop time, it is only possible because of a strong cosmic time compatibility. My actual understanding of the laws is still far from that of the peak of the King-level."

When Yu Duan first used Time Stop, his mastery of the laws was only at the peak of the 18th level of the Tongtian Bridge. He was only able to use it because of the extremely high compatibility between the Frost Sky Beast and the time of the universe.

More than three thousand years have passed since Yu Duan mastered the art of pausing, and naturally, his mastery of the laws cannot remain stagnant.

"Regarding time deceleration, I have only just begun to comprehend more than two hundred years (the time of Chaos City), and I have just finished using up the 14th level of the secret technique."

"Based on previous experience, to unleash the profound mystery of 'slowing down', it only takes to comprehend the first 18 levels, which won't take too long."

Yu Duan's Frosty Sky Beast clone is in harmony with the origin of time in the entire universe, not simply in harmony with the stillness of time.

Therefore, for the three secret techniques of the Eternal Cycle, it is only necessary to comprehend the first 18 levels, not all 24 levels.

To advance the progress bar for the 14th level of the slowing technique, one needs to cultivate in seclusion in Chaos City for 57 years.

This speed is even faster than when I was comprehending the 'Pause Chapter'.

After all, Yu Duan now has a deeper understanding of the laws of time than before, making it easier for him to draw inferences and comprehend other changes.

"If all goes well, we'll get 15 floors ahead of schedule, and the progress bar will take about 100 years."

"Pre-allocated 16 floors, 400 years."

"Pre-allocated 17 floors, 800 years."

"The 18th floor is planned for 1600 years."

All in all, it's roughly equivalent to 2900 years of seclusion in Chaos City.

In reality, Yu Duan's comprehension speed will be much faster than expected. He will need to cultivate in Chaos City for a little over 2000 years to reach the maximum level.

The final acceleration of time changes should shorten the time required for comprehension, perhaps even less than two thousand years.

"Together, it takes four thousand years of seclusion in Chaos City and 1.3 eras in the primordial universe to unleash the remaining two profound and mysterious techniques."

Reaching the 18th level of all three secret techniques of the Eternal Cycle is roughly equivalent to comprehending a certain profound and ultimate technique to the 24th level of perfection.

This is the understanding of the laws at the peak of the King-level.

Going forward, Yu Duan no longer intends to use the Book of Cause and Effect to pre-draw his insights into the laws of time; he will simply comprehend them on his own.

When he has already drawn up most of his insights into other fundamental laws, Yu Duan's understanding of the law of time will naturally reach the final stage.

"First, buy a copy of 'Essays on Time and Space,' and then try to understand the fundamental laws of space."

Yu Duan plans to comprehend the fundamental laws of space at the realm master level to the point where he can perform teleportation.

Of the remaining eight lower-level fundamental laws, the fundamental law of light has already been recognized by the laws, leaving seven other fundamental laws.

Once you have comprehended and acknowledged all seven fundamental laws, you can break through to the immortal level.

After breaking through to the Immortal level, just like during the Domain Lord era, only the original laws can recognize and enhance one's understanding of the laws.

However, after advancing to the Immortal Realm, the soul undergoes a major transformation, and the speed of thought processes greatly increases. The actual efficiency of comprehending the laws will not noticeably slow down.

……

For the next two days, Yu Duan was completely absorbed in studying the slowing down of time.

Inside Chaos City, Yu Duan himself sat beneath the Tai Chang Tree Spirit.

Strands of brilliant golden light surrounded Yu Duan; this was the pure power of the laws of time, without any other energy mixed in.

The two clones from the outer battlefield also slowed down their comprehension time.

Here's something interesting: being in two universes with different time flows can actually provide a certain boost to understanding the fundamental laws of time.

"Master, Venerable Putuo's email!"

A natural, intelligent voice suddenly rang out, startling Yu Duan.

"Looks like good news has arrived."

With a thought, Yu Duan's consciousness in the virtual universe disappeared from its original spot and appeared directly in Venerable Putuo's exclusive space.

"Senior Putuo!"

Yu Duan bowed slightly and paid his respects to Venerable Putuo.

Venerable Putuo chuckled in a series of electronic sounds: "Third Prince, my friend has been collecting treasure points these past few days."

"Just trade the Thunder Prison Cauldron at the normal market price, as long as it's slightly cheaper than exchanging it in the clan's treasury."

Selling valuable treasures to the clan's treasury is called contributing treasures, and there will be a significant discount.

According to the assessment of the virtual universe, Yu Duan's Destruction Thunder Prison Cauldron is close to the top-tier heavy treasure armor in terms of defense, and also has a 9% reduction in soul attacks, as well as extremely strong offensive capabilities.

The value of these three items alone would be no less than 200 Treasure Points.

With the addition of the sealing ability, the total value doubles. As long as it is contributed to the clan, 400 treasure points can be obtained.

If others want to exchange for it from the clan's treasure vault, they will need at least 480 treasure points.

“In that case, let’s make it 440 Treasure Points. How’s that price?” Yu Duan asked Venerable Putuo.

"Haha, Your Highness still doesn't understand the market. Who would split an 80-point difference in price in half?"

Venerable Putuo couldn't help but laugh; Yu Duan still didn't know the market.

Split the price difference in half; that's the price you'd pay to a true friend.

The relationship between that alien venerable and Venerable Putuo wasn't particularly good; otherwise, it's unlikely that he wouldn't even sell a single immortal member of the Ci'an race to Venerable Putuo.

"470 Treasure Points is already a fair price, as it's 10 Treasure Points cheaper than exchanging it in the Clan Treasury."

Venerable Putuo continued, "I personally told my friend that I bought it from Star Sword King for 465 Treasure Points. I should at least make some profit, right?"

"Then I'll trouble Senior Putuo. I will have my plant life form use Divine Kingdom Teleportation to deliver the treasure to your hands," Yu Duan quickly thanked him. After his consciousness withdrew from the virtual universe, Yu Duan had a thought, and an ancient, dark cauldron appeared.

"Buzz!"

The small cauldron trembled, and the life imprint within it was erased by Yu Duan, instantly transforming into a large cauldron with a mouth diameter exceeding one hundred meters.

Swish!
With a ripple in space, the large cauldron was directly stored into a world ring by Yu Duan.

"Mo Yun, you go on this trip. I'll have the entire Fengwang Legion follow you."

"Yes, Master!"

As Yu Duan finished speaking, Mo Yun Teng condensed into human form and respectfully accepted the World Ring.

Within the barracks base, the use of divine teleportation is prohibited, and of course, no one dares to teleport directly within the barracks base.

Therefore, about half an hour later, Mo Yun found a remote and desolate starry sky and then used the Divine Kingdom Teleportation.

……

In the blink of an eye, most of the day had passed.

A deep blue spaceship is docked in the harbor inside the military base.

"It's Lord Star Sword King's spaceship!"

"Isn't Lord Star Sword King in seclusion?"

The attention of countless immortals passing by was drawn to it.

These immortal deities spoke cautiously, daring not to utter a word.

As the spaceship hatch opened, Mo Yun's figure appeared, and without wasting any time, she headed straight for Yu Duan's palace on the island in the middle of the lake.

A moment later, he entered a quiet room in his residence.

A world ring appeared in Yu Duan's palm, inside which was a vast hilly continent.

In the central region of the hilly continent, a giant about 10 kilometers tall, covered in jet-black scales, lies asleep amidst the mountains and valleys.

Beside this giant, there is a lake filled with rich life energy, shrouded by an F-level energy barrier.

"The Lake of Energy for Restoring Divine Bodies—this alien venerable one is indeed an honest man."

Yu Duan chuckled lightly, and then without hesitation, he directly instructed the Undead Demon Banyan clone to first use the Soul Control Secret Technique.

He was merely a high-ranking king, and he was in a deep sleep. It only took him a few seconds to control his soul.

Then Yu Duan directly placed this immortal Ci'an clan member into the Pool of Life.

Only after the other party's divine body has recovered from its damage can Yu Duan proceed with the invasion.

If directly invaded, the Undead Demon Banyan clone would also fall into a dormant state, but it wouldn't need to fully recover.

In about half a day, the immortal of the Ci'an clan awoke from his slumber.

"Where am I...?"

The giant of the Ci'an tribe had eyes that looked like miniature black holes, but the look of confusion vanished instantly upon seeing Yu Duan's figure.

"Owner!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the giant of the Ci'an tribe knelt down and bowed to Yu Duan, causing the surrounding spacetime to tremble.

"Don't resist, I need your body!"

"I would give everything for my master!" The giant of the Tz'an tribe had a fanatical look in his eyes.

Yu Duan had already used the 'Invasion' talent once before, so this time he was naturally even more skilled.

Just ten minutes later, a majestic wolf, lifeless, lay dead beside him.

The giant of the Nazan race opened his eyes.

"It's more convenient to use a humanoid body."

The giant of the Tz'an tribe spoke, and his voice changed, becoming the all-encompassing voice of the undead demon Rong.

"Boom!"

As soon as Yu Duan had a thought, the entire Pool of Life began to boil, and endless strange substances were being rapidly devoured by Yu Duan.

This alien venerable one prepared recovery resources based on the size and divine power of the previous giant of the Naci'an race, and normally there would be more than enough.

However, after the Undead Demon Banyan invaded, the high-level mastery of the laws of the King directly increased the strength of the divine body by about 30 times.

Fortunately, Yu Duan had prepared enough resources beforehand.

"Talented secret techniques: Transformation, Innate secret techniques: Immense Strength... As expected of someone with peak bloodline, their talented secret techniques are all quite powerful."

The innate secret technique of transformation is a life-saving talent, similar to the simulation talent of the Iceberg Beast, both of which involve transformation.

The innate secret technique, Great Strength, is a purely physical amplification talent, not as good as the Golden Horned Beast's dual enhancement of body and soul.

However, for Duan, the soul amplitude is already at its maximum, while the body amplitude can further enhance the defense.

……

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

"Soul Amplification, activate!"

A brand-new avatar of the Undead Demon Banyan stood here, and an extremely powerful ethereal divine force instantly raged out.

With a divine power base of 113 million times that of a peak Realm Lord, under the Amplification Secret Technique, it directly unleashed a ethereal soul attack approximately 1.1 million times stronger.

In the original work, after True King broke through to the stage of Universe Venerable, he had the power of a World Lord, which is about 1 million times greater.

Even the King of the Barking Mirror, who was valued by the Ancestral God Cult, only had a divine body strength of 2 million times!

As long as Yu Duan's understanding of the laws reaches the peak of the King-Sealing stage, although his divine body strength is not strong enough, his soul attack can be increased by 2 million times!
If King Barking could confront the Universe Venerable head-on with his powerful soul attack technique, there's no reason why Yu Duan couldn't do the same!
