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

Chapter 158 Soaring Efficiency of Understanding the Fusion Law

"Boom!"

As the axe fell, in the endless darkness, only that single axe strike remained.

An endless terror of death enveloped Duan, and his divine power trembled violently.

So-called cosmic overlords? Under this axe, they are no different from ants.

"kill!"

Yu Duan's will surged, breaking through the fear of life. With a single thrust of his sword, billions of sword lights transformed into layers of surging tides, forming a vast river of time.

But before that all-encompassing giant axe, Yu Duan's strongest sword strike was like a grain of rice trying to shake the bright moon; it was annihilated by the aura emanating from the axe blade before it even got close.

In that final moment, Yu Duan seemed to see a world born from the flowing light of the axe blade.

Then Yu Duan's figure completely disappeared, wiped out by this axe!
……

"Boom!"

Zijing Island is located within the Duan Courtyard.

A vast and overwhelming divine power erupted involuntarily, and Yu Duan was suddenly awakened.

Under that terrifying axe blow, Yu Duan's own will froze for a moment, directly severing the connection to the virtual universe.

"Even my divine body was affected, involuntarily burning divine power..."

Whether it was Yu Duan's undead demonic banyan clone, or the human main body in Chaos City, or the two clones of Blood Sea and Frost Sky Beast in the Divine Kingdom, they all involuntarily burned their divine power at this moment.

This is a natural reaction of life instinct under the overwhelming power of endless terror.

If Yu Duan's will were not comparable to that of the Lord of the Universe, even an ordinary novice Venerable would likely have their soul disintegrate in the face of such pressure.

"Buzz!"

A communication message came through, and Yu Duan quickly answered it. Then, the figure of the Lord of Darkness appeared before his eyes.

"How does it feel? The power of this axe strike should be enough to temper your will." The Lord of Darkness smiled as he looked at Yu Duan.

The Creation of Heaven was the secret technique used by the founder of the Giant Axe to become the strongest being in the universe.

Today, the creator of the giant axe has created even more powerful axe techniques, but there is no need to use them.

Yu Duan couldn't help but say, "Now I've seen what a true universe's strongest being is."

"Child, cultivate diligently. You are only barely among the strong now, and you are still far from the true pinnacle of the universe."

The Lord of Darkness's eyes became complicated, revealing such emotions rarely.

Yu Duan vaguely sensed that the Lord of Darkness seemed to have placed some kind of expectation on him.

"is teacher!"

Yu Duan's expression turned slightly solemn as he earnestly said, "This disciple will certainly not let down the expectations of my teacher and clan."

After hanging up the communication, Yu Duan's consciousness focused on the temple within the divine realm.

The Book of Cause and Effect, shrouded in a faint, colorful glow, floated within the temple.

Apart from Yu Duan, no one else was able to detect the existence of this treasure.

"1.6 years of tempering one's will... With the image left by this axe, plus one's own tempering, it shouldn't take 1.6 years."

With his current skill level, Yu Duan is already able to easily create illusions and hone his will.

However, this effect is definitely not as good as that of a virtual universe.

In a virtual universe, it is entirely possible to generate an illusionary realm at the level of a universe master.

Yu Duan is currently unsure of the limits of this virtual universe, but based on speculation, it should be the limit of the primordial ancestor's own realm.

"Take your time, ten thousand years isn't too long."

Yu Duan calmed down, and his Undead Demon Banyan clone began to study the laws of time fusion.

The Frost Sky Beast and the Blood Sea Avatar both went to study the fundamental laws of time.

The human beings in Chaos City are responsible for tempering their will.

……

In the blink of an eye, nearly half a year has passed.

A message from the world of Glory awakens Yu Duan, who is immersed in comprehending the laws.

"An email from the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds?"

With a thought, Yu Duan sent a wisp of consciousness into the world of Glory.

In the world of glory, there is a private space.

"Greetings, Divine Lord!"

Yu Duan bowed respectfully to the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, who was dressed in black robes and sat on the throne.

The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds smiled and said, "This is the Sevenfold Cycle of Time, a complete secret manual created by the contemporary Beast God of Light. In the entire primordial universe, there should be no one who understands the Way of the Beast God better than the contemporary Beast God."

As the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds spoke, sets of ancient silver-white books appeared.

There are a total of 1.7 books, divided into seven sets, each corresponding to one of the seven realms of the Path of the Beast God.

"Your subordinate thanks the Divine Lord for the gift!"

Yu Duan accepted the inherited secret manual and bowed once again to the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.

The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds waved his hand and said, "There's no need to thank me. The fact that you were able to obtain a complete set of the Beast God's Dao Secret Manual was personally approved by the Ancestral God."

"However, this secret manual is generally only allowed to be obtained by core members of the Ancestral God Sect. The fact that you are allowed to comprehend it is already a special favor from the Ancestral God."

"Therefore, it is forbidden to give it to anyone in the human race, or to allow others to comprehend it."

"Of course, if you comprehend the Way of the Beast God in the future and personally compile a new inheritance, then it will naturally not be affected."

"Star Sword, I must remind you that in the primordial universe, no one can deceive the Ancestral God Cult. Do not harbor any illusions!"

Finally, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds became much more serious and earnestly warned him. Upon hearing this, Yu Duan quickly assured him, "Lord God, rest assured, I will never reveal the secrets of the Ancestral God Sect."

A moment later, after leaving the palace of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, Yu Duan began to study the secret manual "Sevenfold Cycle of the Years".

The seven sets of secret manuals are: Scales and Armor, Flesh and Blood, Bones, Wings, Cycles, Divine Body, and Heart.

Comprehending the first three chapters leads to the ultimate understanding of the laws of immortality.

Comprehending the first six chapters signifies a level of understanding of the laws of the universe, allowing one to transform into a pseudo-beast god.

Having comprehended the seventh chapter to the point of being only one step away from completion, one can be considered to have mastered the Law of Time Fusion. Once one comprehends the Heart of the Beast God, transforming into the Beast God will allow one to invoke the Origin of the Universe and break through to the level of the Lord of the Universe.

"Hmm? The content of this Scale Armor chapter is completely different from the Dark Lord's understanding."

Yu Duan glanced at it and immediately realized that the contents of the Scale Armor Chapter were vastly different from the secret techniques created by the Lord of Darkness.

A more concise, specific, and essential approach.

The other is a macro-level, general understanding of the overall artistic conception of the Beast God Scales.

The difference between the two is somewhat similar to the difference between the conventional path of enlightenment and the path of analyzing the essence when comprehending the fundamental laws of time.

"Even if each has its own expertise, the fact that this God of Light can explain such a complex concept of the God of Beasts in a relatively simple and easy-to-understand way is something that even the God of Protecting the Faith cannot do."

After reading through the first chapter of the secret method, Yu Duan had this thought.

The eight beast gods are all beings who inherit the position of honor. If they do not inherit the position of honor, they can only be called guardian beast gods.

The position of Beast God is similar to that of God General or God Envoy, but it is much more powerful.

Once one inherits the position of supreme authority, one will receive the blessing of the origin of the universe, causing one's strength to soar. Every move one makes will seem as if the origin of the universe has descended upon them, and one may even be able to rival a fifth-order universe lord.

The price, however, is the inability to break through to a higher realm.

Despite their exalted status, the eight beast gods, though seemingly of the same level, actually possess different levels of understanding.

Even without a title, this God of Light should still be considered to have a relatively high level of cultivation among the Lords of the Universe.

"Understanding the ancient god lamp statue and the secret runes of the Light Source Hall can respectively help me comprehend the Beast God's intent and the law of fusion. With the guidance of this complete secret manual, the difficulty of comprehending the Beast God's path will be greatly reduced."

Yu Duan's undead demonic avatar once again immersed itself in comprehending the way of the beast god.

With more comprehensive guidance, Yu Duan's progress in the Path of the Beast God was much faster than he had imagined.

In just about seven hundred years, he had basically mastered the second level of the Path of the Beast God.

That is equivalent to the skill level of an 18-story bridge.

When I was studying the fundamental laws of time, I had the support of the Book of Cause and Effect; otherwise, the progress of both of us would have been roughly the same.

"This Bloodvine Scale's body is indeed suitable for studying the Fusion Law... My progress in comprehending the Fusion Law is a thousand times faster than when I first started studying it!"

It took Yu Duan decades to comprehend the first level back then, which is completely different from what he is doing now.

However, the reason for such rapid progress is not only the Blood Vine Scale's body, but also the influence of the two important treasures and the more complete Beast God inheritance.

"Don't rush to comprehend the third level of the Beast God's Path. We still have one free inheritance opportunity left."

With a thought, Yu Duan vanished from his spot and headed straight for the place of inheritance.

The effect of the Ancestral God Sect's inheritance is hundreds or thousands of times stronger than that of the Chaos Stele. It is almost equivalent to a super strong person directly imparting their own insights to the inheritor.

However, correspondingly, the difficulty of obtaining the opportunity to inherit the legacy is also terrifyingly high.

Aside from the free opportunity to meditate each time your cultivation level increases, the only other way to get more meditation opportunities is by exchanging Glory Points.

Honor Points are hard to get. Apart from the three Honor Points given to new players, you can only slowly grind for them or fight against other players.

Unlike Luo Feng in the original novel, Yu Duan was not challenged by a group of people because he was only a first-level inheritor.

In the entire Ancestral God Sect, Yu Duan was the only first-level inheritor, so naturally no one could challenge him.

……

A moment later, when Yu Duan left the place of inheritance, he had a lot of insights waiting to be digested.

It wasn't just the enlightenment of the third level of the Path of the Beast God, but also a great deal of enlightenment about the fundamental laws of time.

"If I could have more opportunities to inherit, I would probably be able to gain a full understanding of the fundamental laws of time before the Book of Cause and Effect's advance use of will cools down."

"The number of inheritance attempts is a troublesome matter... Let's try to get some Glory Points first."

With a thought, Yu Duan logged into the Glory World and began to challenge one third-level inheritor after another.

In the world of Glory, only the law of fusion can be used in duels; other fundamental laws are useless.

However, with Yu Duan's current mastery of secret techniques, he has long since incorporated his understanding of the laws of fusion into his various unique skills.

Basically, apart from a very few third-level inheritors, no one is a match for Yu Duan.

"Star Sword Venerable? Wasn't he a first-level inheritor? How come he's already at the third level in just a few years?"

"Daring to challenge the third level right after entering it, here comes the honor points."

"..."

The inheritors of the three major factions—the Mechanical Race, the Zerg Race, and the Demon Race—all accepted Yu Duan's challenge.

In less than an hour, Yu Duan, who had won more than 400 consecutive matches, made a name for himself, and no one would agree to challenge him anymore.

"Over four hundred points, and that's only enough to redeem four inheritances..."

Yu Duan felt a little regretful, but just then, he received a message from the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.

A moment later, Yu Duan arrived at the temple of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.

"Star Sword, it seems you're starting to worry about Glory Points too."

A rare smile appeared on the face of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds. He said, "I have other channels that can help you obtain Glory Points. Would you be willing?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Duan's expression changed, and he quickly said, "Please enlighten me, Divine Lord!"
