Chapter 169 The Incredible Effects of an Eternal-Level Treasure (Bonus Chapter)
"River of Life, a **-level single-target mechanical treasure, possesses the 'Transform into a Sacred River' technique."

"By infusing divine power and activating the secret runes of the treasure, one can unleash 'Transformation into a Sacred River,' transforming the divine body into the form of a sacred river, possessing divine power with a higher level of power, even comparable to the most ordinary divine power of a higher level."

"If one possesses an Infinite Divine Body and comprehends the six layers of secret runes, one can transform into a Sacred River, and even save one's life from the clutches of a powerful expert at the **realm**..."

The message of this river of life is also brief, or rather, incomplete.

Some information is even inaccessible to Yu Duan, as it is restricted by the rules governing the universe.

Even this supreme treasure spirit, which is a newly born supreme treasure spirit within the cosmic sea, is unaware of this information.

"That really was a pleasant surprise."

Yu Duan originally thought that the effect of this River of Life would be similar to that of the Wings of Killing Wu.

After all, according to the description of the Supreme Treasure Spirit, it is very similar to the Wings of the Killer Wu.

But now it seems that the secret runes of the River of Life are completely different from the Wings of the Slayer of Wu.

The weakened versions of controlling time and space and the ability to make one's words law are all secondary functions brought about by this body of the Holy River.

In summary, this treasure has two abilities.

First, it can condense the treasures that are being devoured, and its strength will be slightly greater than the treasures that are being devoured.

Secondly, the "body transforms into the holy river" blessing the divine body, which strengthens the divine power and grants some of the power of a higher realm.

Both require comprehending the corresponding level of runes, but the runes of this treasure are relatively easier to comprehend.

“Master, I only have the core component left now, not the river component. After absorbing the treasure, the river component will be able to be reborn.”

The spirit of the sacred river conveyed a message through the connection between the two.

The golden rhombus was completely transparent, looking as if it were a phantom projection.

If the treasure is devoured, a golden river emanating chaotic energy will condense inside the rhombus-shaped body.

"I only have one top-tier treasure weapon at the moment. You should first devour an ordinary treasure weapon and let me see the effect."

The spirit of the sacred river naturally had no objections: "Yes, Master!"

"Om..."

A ripple spread through the space, and then six precious weapons, including the Yu Duan sword, spear, halberd, and saber, appeared.

After exchanging for the Supreme Treasures, Yu Duan still had 7 Supreme Treasure Points left, which was more than enough to exchange for a few ordinary Supreme Treasure weapons.

These precious weapons naturally have different internal runes, but they all have one thing in common: they contain the mysteries of the fundamental laws of light and time.

"Master, is all of this for me to eat?"

"Yes, finish it all."

After Yu Dian nodded, the golden rhombus trembled, and wisps of chaotic energy fell from it, condensing into countless golden threads that easily pierced into the treasured weapons.

In just a few seconds, these priceless weapons dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"boom!"

With an explosion, the weakest of these treasured weapons suddenly shattered, dissipating into negligible cosmic energy and disappearing into mid-air.

Following closely behind, the remaining five treasured weapons were also devoured one after another.

Then, a luminous flow could be seen on the golden core, and upon closer inspection, a vast and surging chaotic golden river could be seen emerging from within it.

"Wow!"

With a thought, Yu Duan felt the vast, endless sea of ​​blood beneath him surge, and boundless divine power poured into this supreme treasure.

"Om-"

The chaotic river within the golden rhombus suddenly surged, absorbing Yu Duan's divine power and completely merging into one.

Wow!

In an instant, the river water, shrouded in chaotic mist, emerged and surrounded Yu Duan.

“Master, my first secret rune has been formed.”

"Now it can be condensed into the weapon you want me to devour."

"However, to unleash its power, you will need to comprehend the first secret rune I have condensed."

"At that time, the master can also merge with me and transform into the form of the Holy River."

On the core crystal of the Holy River, a layer of dazzling and indistinct white light patterns surged, intertwining and spreading, as if countless super-miniature rivers were rushing across it.

These secret patterns are all composed of the pure fundamental laws of light. Theoretically, as long as one masters the complete fundamental laws of light, one can comprehend them.

Of course, this is only in theory. Although the foundation is only the fundamental law of light, the evolution of this supreme treasure's runes is extremely complex, and most immortal gods find it difficult to comprehend.

“Master, I currently only have one level of secret rune, which is of great use to immortal gods.”

"If the master is an immortal god, then after merging with me, he will be able to possess some of the power of a cosmic sage and can unleash a weakened version of the 'Time Law Domain'."

"But the master is already a Universe Venerable. He needs at least two Holy Rivers to unleash a power that surpasses that of a Universe Venerable and to unleash a weakened version of 'Controlling Space and Time'."

Upon hearing this, Yu Duan immediately flipped his hand and took out the Annihilation Star Sword.

"This is considered the finest among top-tier treasures. You should devour it first and condense the second secret rune."

"Thank you, Master!"

The spirit of the sacred river was overjoyed. This time, when devouring the treasure, it no longer used golden threads to decompose it.

A portion of the river water, swirling with chaotic energy, separated and quickly enveloped the Annihilation Star Sword, then seemingly corroded it, dissolving it and merging it into the river.

During this process, Yu Duan noticed that the divine power he had injected into the core of the Holy River Crystal was being rapidly depleted.

Those divine powers were transformed into a special kind of energy, the so-called 'Source'.

When Yu Duan was in the state of transforming into the Holy River, his divine body was damaged, and what was consumed was this 'source', not his own divine power.

"You can directly corrode even top-tier treasures?"

"No, Master. I can only consume source energy to devour a treasure if it is not driven by divine power. If someone is activating the treasure, then it is not so easy to devour it."

Yu nodded, agreeing that it was within his understanding.

In just a few words, the top-grade weapon, the Annihilation Star Sword, was completely devoured by the core of the Holy River.

"Om-"

On the core crystal, the visible patterns of the fundamental laws of time are condensing, combining with the previous patterns of the fundamental laws of light to form a more complex secret pattern.

Then, this more complex secret pattern continued to evolve, eventually forming two layers of secret patterns.

The first layer of secret patterns is the complete fundamental law of light, while the second layer contains the complete fundamental laws of light and time.

Yu Duan examined it carefully and studied it thoroughly. After a moment, he let out a long sigh: "The second layer of secret runes is difficult for most universe venerables to comprehend, but it is not a problem for me."

The first level of mastering the secret runes is slightly less difficult than creating a self-created peak secret technique; basically, only those who have reached the highest level of mastery can achieve it.

The difficulty of comprehending the second level of the secret rune is equivalent to creating one's own ultimate secret technique, which even most cosmic overlords may not be able to comprehend.

The first level of secret patterns was easily mastered by Yu Duan after a few days of study.

The second layer of secret patterns requires me to calm down and study it for a period of time.

……

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

Above the divine kingdom of Yu Duan, a winding, surging golden river flowed through the air.

Yu Duan's human form sat cross-legged in the golden river, his figure shrouded in chaotic mist.

Suddenly, Yu Duan opened his eyes, and an invisible wave emanated from his body.

"Boom!" With a deafening roar, Yu Duan's human form suddenly disintegrated and merged into the golden river.

In an instant, the golden river seemed to come to life, surging and rolling.

Then it reformed and transformed into the figure of Yu Duan, with no obvious change in appearance, except that it was surrounded by wisps of chaotic mist.

Yu Duan could clearly sense a powerful force surging within his body, equivalent to a Venerable-level special life form with thousands of times the genetic potential.

"My original human genes are only a hundred times stronger. After using 'Transformation into the Holy River', I suddenly became dozens of times stronger out of thin air!"

With every gesture Yu Duan made, the immense power within him surged, and the terrifying aura shook the very fabric of the divine kingdom.

It should be noted that Yu Duan's divine kingdom was protected by the Blood Sea, making it incredibly stable, yet even so, it was difficult to contain Yu Duan's aura.

“Master, the source stored in my body is transformed from the divine power of your 700-fold genetic clone, which is why it has this effect.”

"Moreover, there is a limit to the divine bodies I can transform. Master's original divine body is very small, so it can be completely transformed and improved."

“If the master’s divine body is larger than my river body, the enhancement effect will be much worse, and the strength of the source will be diluted.”

"However, my river body will also grow larger as it devours more and more treasures."

The spirit of the sacred river transmitted the limits of its power to Yu Duan, giving Yu Duan a general idea of ​​what to expect.

This isn't a big problem. At this stage, we don't have divine bodies that are tens of thousands of kilometers long, so there's no need to consider the issue of dilution.

"River Spirit, my Undead Demon Banyan clone can seize the divine bodies of other life forms. Can you convert the divine power of the seized divine bodies into a source?"

"It can be converted!"

The Spirit of the Holy River quickly replied: "If the master can seize a divine body with 3000 times the genes, then the transformed 'Source' will be comparable in strength to a divine body that has just entered the realm of the universe."

"However, only one kind of source can exist. The 'source' transformed from the body that the master has seized cannot coexist with the 'source' transformed from the master's own divine power."

Yu nodded; it wasn't a problem.

It seems I'll have to find a body that's at least 3000 times genetically superior next.

Moreover, the larger the size, the better. If the divine power recovery cannot keep up with the digestion of the 'source divine power', then it won't be good either.

"River Spirit, I have another top-tier treasure armor. You should devour it first."

"When I acquire a large number of top-tier, peak-level treasures, or even the most powerful treasures in the future, I will let you condense the third secret rune."

……

Virtual Universe, Thunder Island, the Courtyard of the Dark Lord.

"teacher!"

Yu Duan strode into the courtyard, a slight smile on his face, and bowed to the Lord of Darkness.

The Lord of Darkness sized up the young disciple before him: "In a good mood, another breakthrough?"

Yu Duan smiled and said, "I can't hide it from the teacher's eyes. Isn't it because my realm has broken through to the level of the Universe Venerable? My will has also naturally risen to the level of the strongest in the universe."

Boom!

In an instant, a powerful pressure swept out, forming a spatial gale that spread from the courtyard and shook the entire Thunder Island plane.

At this moment, the Lord of Darkness could no longer maintain his composure, staring wide-eyed at his little disciple in front of Yu Duan.

"The will of the strongest being in the universe?"

The Lord of Darkness's voice was somewhat hoarse.

Yu nodded, then quickly said modestly, "During this period of tempering my will, I had a sudden realization, which came naturally..."

"Alright, alright, stop making things up."

The Lord of Darkness was clearly agitated and didn't even bother listening to Yu Duan's 'story' anymore.

"I have prepared a precious treasure for you. Originally, the other universe lords had some reservations and felt that they should not bestow such a precious treasure upon you."

"Now I'll show them what a true genius is!"

"That treasure is called the Eye of the Demon Heart. Go and get it yourself from the clan's treasury. I have already paid the Treasure Points."

After the Lord of Darkness finished speaking, his figure vanished from the spot.

I have no idea what they went to do; it's really hard to guess.

"The Eye of the Demonic Heart? That illusion-type treasure worth 8000 treasure points!"

Yu Duan's spirits lifted; even for the Dark Lord teacher, this treasure was an absolute gem.

Such a treasure must contain incredibly complex runes.

Even ordinary universe masters would find it difficult to unleash the full power of a supreme treasure. At least a fourth or fifth-order universe master would be able to fully unleash the power of a supreme treasure.

"River Spirit, River Spirit, if I let you devour a top-tier treasure, will your runes become more complex?"

"No, Master. Unless it's an extremely powerful treasure, you only need to comprehend the first two secret runes to unleash its full power!"

After the spirit of the treasure finished speaking, Yu Duan had a profound understanding of the power of this mechanical treasure.

The feeling that this River of Life gave Yu Duan was much stronger than that of the Wu-killing Wings.

The Wings that Killed Wu were merely the strongest single-unit mechanical treasure created by the Wu Kingdom, but among the eternal-level mechanical treasures, they were only considered excellent.

"River Spirit, I also have a palace-type treasure and a high-level treasure. You can devour them both."

“Master, you don’t need to devour domain-type treasures. My true form is the strongest domain treasure of its level, and it can be used in combination with your domain treasures.”

During his communication with the River of Life, Yu Duan also rushed from the Divine Kingdom to the Primordial Universe.

……

More than half an hour later, at the City Lord's Mansion, in the Treasure Hall.

"Rumble--"

The doors to the treasure hall opened again, and Yu Duan, enveloped in a chaotic mist, stepped inside.

“I have come to retrieve the ‘Eye of the Demon’ on the orders of the Lord of Darkness.”

Yu Duan stood in front of the stone slab and spoke loudly. After he finished speaking, his gentle voice rang out again.

"Identity verification in progress... Venerable Yu Duan, confirmed."

Boom!

The ancient stone disc suddenly cracked open, and then a dazzling stream of purplish-black light shot out from it, hovering in front of Yu Duan.

Within that purplish-black light was a black eyeball that looked no bigger than a palm.

The pupil of this black eyeball is white, with countless intricate purple patterns interwoven to form a pupil that resembles a reflection of a purple galaxy.

"Ah—ah—"

The instant those eyes appeared, a series of alluring, enchanting sounds, like the chanting of celestial maidens, echoed throughout the entire treasure hall.

However, for Duan, this level of enchanting sound has virtually no effect.

"Buzz!"

A wisp of divine power emanated from Yu Duan's fingertips, seeping into the Demon Heart Eye and easily imprinting a complete life mark upon it.

Swish!
The next moment, the Demon Heart Eye was directly absorbed into Yu Duan's body.

"River Spirit, devour it!"

"Thank you, Master!!!" He Ling's excited voice rang in Yu Duan's consciousness.
