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

Chapter 148: Refinement and Perfection, Accepting the Divine General's Legacy (Bonus Chapter)
The effect of fully comprehending a complete lower-level fundamental law on the combat power of the end is actually negligible.

Compared to the improvement in the fundamental laws of light, the improvement in the fundamental laws of time is more significant.

Yu Duan's understanding of the three profound mysteries of the laws of time has improved significantly and noticeably.

"Star Sword!"

The Purple Light Venerable, who had been waiting for Yu Duan, flashed to Yu Duan's side.

"How was it? This time the inheritance has improved quite a bit, hasn't it? What level of the Path of the Beast God are you at now?"

Yu Duan, without blushing or panting, said, "My Path of the Beast God has only one level."

Previously, Yu Duan had not conducted any research on the laws of time fusion.

Now that he's considered a first-level inheritor, his improvement is quite noticeable.

If we also consider the enhanced understanding of the two fundamental laws, the effect of receiving the inheritance for the first time is a thousand times or even ten thousand times stronger than the first time comprehending the Chaos Stele.

"The...first level?"

The Purple Light Venerable was taken aback. The first level of the Path of the Beast God was only equivalent to the fifteenth or sixteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven.

In the eyes of these cosmic venerables, it was quite rudimentary.

Anyone who has even slightly studied the Way of the Beast God and received an inheritance would not be limited to the first level.

"Ahem, the first level is already quite good. With your talent, Star Sword, it won't be long before you become the inheritor of the third level."

The Purple Light Venerable judged that Yu Duan's talent must be extremely high simply because Yu Duan obtained the Beast God Inheritance Token with zero foundation.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful one's background, it would be difficult to obtain the Beast God's Inheritance Token.

Yu Duan didn't feel embarrassed, but Venerable Ziguang was a little embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Our Hong Alliance also has quite a few people within the Ancestral God Sect. Come on, I'll take you to meet them."

"Okay, thank you!"

The members of the Hongmeng within the Ancestral God Sect are not only the inheritors of the Beast God, but also candidates for Divine Generals and Divine Envoys.

There is even a current Four Directions General, but the Four Directions General has an extremely high status and therefore rarely appears in public.

After returning to his courtyard, Yu Duan's consciousness logged into the virtual network world of Glory.

Although this glorious world cannot compare with the virtual universe of the human race, it is still much stronger than the virtual networks of the demon race and the insect race.

Near-real-time communication is possible throughout the entire Ancestral Mystic Realm.

A moment later, in the virtual world of Glory.

Inside a palace, nearly a thousand members of the Hongmeng Alliance gathered together.

Including Yu Duan, only a little over a hundred of them are members of the human race; the rest are members of other races within the Hong Alliance.

Among these members, the number of Cosmic Venerables accounts for about 20%, while there are four who are invincible kings like Duan.

The reason for the large number is that these four invincible kings are all divine messengers of the Ancestral God Sect.

As one of the nine most powerful forces in the primordial universe, it is not surprising that the Hong Alliance has four divine envoys.

"Star Sword, let me give you a proper introduction." Venerable Purple Light held up his wine cup and looked at Yu Duan.

"This is one of the Four Divine Generals, the strongest member of our Hong Alliance within the Ancestral God Sect. He rarely shows his face."

"This is the Ironwall Venerable, a disciple of the Great Axe Founder..."

"This is Lord Tianheng..."

After some pleasantries, many members of the Hongmeng Alliance were very enthusiastic towards Duan, even the Four Divine Generals, who held the highest positions, were extremely warm and welcoming.

If the Four Divine Generals were of human origin, they wouldn't need to be so polite to Duan.

However, the Four Divine Generals were just ordinary alien races within the Hong Alliance. They were the strongest members of their races, so they valued every super genius from the human race.

……

That night, the glow of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake that enveloped Zijing Island subsided, and the whole world seemed to fall into darkness.

Inside the courtyard, Yu Duan sat cross-legged, his consciousness connected to the virtual universe, studying the mysteries of the fundamental laws of time and the laws of fusion.

The integration of principles is not Yu Duan's focus.

However, it can also serve as a lesson from others, allowing him to digest the insights he gained from this inheritance. Therefore, Yu Duan purchased a secret manual explaining the laws of time fusion.

"The first level of the Path of the Beast God is not difficult. It is the ultimate level of the first level, which is to integrate the basic essence of the two original laws."

After learning a little about it, Yu Duan settled down to study it.

As time passed, the five-colored divine light rippled along with the rings of law-based runes on the Purple Thorn Island.

In the blink of an eye, nearly a few decades have passed.

Inside the courtyard, Yu Duan opened his eyes. Faintly, some silver-white patterns rippled beneath his eyes, intertwining to form a relatively complete outline. These were the secret patterns of the law of time fusion.

"It has taken decades to completely master this first level."

"Yes, it's many times more difficult than mastering the most basic variation of a higher-level law!"

The same level of mastery of the laws is around the 16th floor of the Sky Bridge.

If Yu Duan were to comprehend the laws of space, he could probably reach this level in just a few years.

However, it took him decades to comprehend the first level of the Beast God's Way. This was even after he had already received a complete first level of inheritance.

At this point, I have completely digested the insights gained from this inheritance.

"It's time to pay our respects to the Eternal God General!"

Yu Duan flipped his right hand and took out a token, which was the Eternal Divine General Token.

As a wisp of divine power was injected into it, a slender filament of light spread out, extending deeper into the Five-Colored Aurora Lake.

Zijing Island is just the edge of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake.

The Ancestral Temple, the Beast God Temple, and the Divine General Continent are located at the deepest part of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake.

"Om-"

As the light emanating from the token spread, the surging five-colored divine glow dispersed to the side, forming a passage.

With a thought, Yu Duan's back surged with light, weaving into a pair of wings. Then, his figure suddenly accelerated, heading straight for the Divine General Continent.

……

The Seventy-Two Divine Generals Continent, each one is as vast as the Purple Thorn Island.

On the ancient continent, there lived a small but special race of life, pure elemental beings, who resembled luminous white clouds.

"Oh no, a stranger has come in!"

"All creatures with limbs are so ugly!"

"Shh, don't talk nonsense. That's a powerful member of the Ci'an Clan. This clan is one of the strongest clans in the Nine Domains Alliance."

Several cloud clusters transmitted their voices to each other.

The Nine Domains Alliance is one of the super powers second only to the nine top powers. The biggest difference between it and the top powers is that it does not have the strongest person in the universe in charge.

With Yu Duan's perception, he could naturally detect the little guys' telepathic communication.

However, Yu Duan did not pause at all and headed straight for the temple at the very center of the continent.

"Star Sword, the inheritor of Purple Thorn Island, has come to pay respects to the Eternal God General," Yu Duanlu announced loudly as he stood before the palace gates.

As soon as Yu Duan finished speaking, a figure resembling a dragon or serpent flew out of the palace and landed in front of Yu Duan.

The aura emanating from this figure far surpassed that of a King-level Immortal, clearly indicating that he was also a Universe Venerable. "I am the Serpent Venerable, a servant under the Divine General. You are the Human Star Sword King; where is the Divine General's token?"

As soon as the Serpent Venerable finished speaking, Yu Duan hurriedly took out the token of the Eternal Light Divine General from his world ring.

Upon seeing the token, the Serpent Venerable's eyes softened: "That's right, in that case, come with me."

As soon as the Serpent Venerable finished speaking, he waved his hand.

An invisible force descended upon Yu Duan.

The next moment, the world spun around, and the surrounding scenery changed abruptly.

This is an exceptionally wide plain, and in the center of the plain stands a majestic sacred mountain.

Yu Duan and the serpent venerable one then appeared beneath this sacred mountain.

“Star Sword King, this sacred mountain is the place where the Divine General inherited his legacy. Do you see the stars floating on the mountain peak?”

The Serpent Venerable pointed to the summit of the divine mountain, where a dazzling star, shrunk countless times, stood.

"That star is where the complete legacy of the Divine General resides. If you can come into contact with that star, you will be able to master the Divine General's three strongest secret techniques and become a candidate Divine General."

"However, if you don't want to become a candidate for divine general, then just don't touch those stars."

“During the time you receive the transmission, I will stay at the foot of the mountain to protect you.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Duan bowed to the serpent venerable one and said, "I am deeply grateful for your protection, Venerable One!"

After expressing his gratitude, Yu Duan did not hesitate any longer and embarked on the mountain path.

This is an ancient road that winds its way up the mountain, shrouded in a crystalline mist.

As Yu Duan stepped onto the mountain path, the entire sacred mountain trembled slightly.

"Successor, ascend to the summit!"

"The mountain path contains the legacy I left behind. Comprehend the legacy, cultivate the legacy... Once you reach the summit, you will have the hope of becoming a great ancient god general!"

A voice echoed within Yu Duan's consciousness.

Following closely behind, countless complex and mysterious cultivation methods flooded into Duan's consciousness.

"An indestructible body that can be cultivated by any living being of flesh and blood..."

Among the countless amplitude-based methods in the primordial universe, the one with the lowest cultivation requirements must be the amplitude-based secret method passed down by the gods.

The secret techniques passed down by the gods require almost no comprehension of the fundamental laws.

For example, the inheritance of the Demonic Sound God General, even if Luo Feng only had the comprehension of the seventh level of the Heavenly Bridge, he could cultivate it to have a tenfold amplitude.

Most peak-level Kings would find it difficult to master amplitude-based secret techniques without using treasures to modify themselves.

"Boom!"

An immense pressure was exerted on Duan's body; the entire sacred mountain was actually a treasure for sealing and suppressing evil.

The higher the basic physical strength, the greater the pressure one can withstand.

Only by mastering more powerful body vibration techniques can one reach the summit.

"The Eternal Undying Body has ninety-nine levels. Mastering the first level allows one to unleash twice the amplitude, and also improves the recovery of injuries (divine power)..."

Since this amplitude method is called the Undying Body, it naturally has the effect of not only making the body larger, but also accelerating the recovery speed of injuries.

If one masters the complete secret technique and unleashes it, even the recovery speed of an immortal divine body can be increased tenfold.

This is already considered an extremely fast recovery speed, which can be achieved without consuming any treasures.

The Eternal God General Inheritance Set contains an extremely powerful primordial treasure that is part of a set with the secret technique. The combined effect will result in an incredibly fast divine body recovery speed.

Under immense pressure, Yu Duan sat down on the ground and began to comprehend the contents of the secret technique.

About half an hour later, Yu Duan suddenly opened his eyes: "Eternal and indestructible, open!"

Boom!

In an instant, Yu Duan's aura changed drastically, and the strength of his divine body increased from 200 million times to 400 million times.

"The physical defense and attack of the divine body have been greatly enhanced. Even without relying on the amplification of soul attacks, with the help of treasures, understanding of laws and secret techniques, it should be enough to save one's life in front of a primary Venerable."

Yu Duan's biggest weakness has always been its material defenses.

With the increase in the amplitude of the divine body, this can finally be compensated for.

"Continue, comprehend the second level of the Amplification Secret Technique!"

Yu Duan's figure flashed, and he traveled along the winding mountain road.

After traveling approximately 1 kilometers, the pressure that had been weighing on Yu Duan suddenly surged, making it impossible for him to move an inch.

At the same time, the contents of the second level of the Amplitude Secret Technique also came to mind.

"The second level, triple amplitude... Hmm? The secret technique of the second level is so much more complex than the first level!"

Yu Duan calmed down and began to study the complex secret patterns, and even tried to cultivate them.

This eternal and indestructible body requires a certain level of understanding of the laws of light, but the requirements are very low.

However, this does not mean it is easy to master. The vast majority of those who are enfeoffed as kings and immortals and receive the inheritance of divine generals are generally unable to master double-digit amplitudes.

Throughout countless ages, apart from the first generation of ancient gods, the primordial universe has nurtured countless lives, and only a handful have been able to complete the divine general's inheritance.

To master the complete inheritance of the divine generals, one aspect naturally requires extremely high comprehension.

On the other hand, and even more importantly, one must be born in harmony with the divine inheritance, possessing a certain trait in their genes.

For example, the contemporary Eternal God General became a candidate God General with almost no effort.

As countless years passed and the previous god general fell, the current ancient god general successfully ascended to power.

……

In the blink of an eye, a day has passed.

At the foot of the mountain, the Serpent Venerable looked at the figure climbing the sacred mountain with some shock.

"This Star Sword King actually mastered four times the amplitude in just one day!"

"This speed... is second only to the God General of yesteryear. Could he also be a chosen one who is exceptionally well-suited to the God General's legacy?"

The look that Venerable Jiaoshe gave Yu Duan was not one of joy, but rather one of wariness.

Accepting the inheritance of a divine general is nothing special, but becoming a candidate divine general is a thorn in the side of the current divine general.

No one wants other powerful individuals to wish for their own death every day!

Looking at the many candidates for divine generals in the Ancestral God Sect, one can find a common point: almost all of these candidates come from top-tier forces.

One reason for this result is that more geniuses are born from top-tier forces, but other factors cannot be ruled out.

……

Within the quiet world of heritage, time flows by day by day.

As Yu Duan mastered higher-level secret techniques, his speed in climbing the mountain naturally slowed down.

"Boom!"

With a tremendous roar, the entire sacred mountain trembled.

Yu Duan's figure ultimately stopped at two-thirds of the way up the sacred mountain, just a hair's breadth away from becoming the inheritor of the third stage.
