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

Chapter 190 Advance Payment, Sixth-Order True Mystic Technique (Bonus Chapter)

"The Palace Master Yanhan's innate secret technique is quite useful."

"Let's keep it for now. We can replace it when we get an even more powerful body later."

After using 'Transform into the Holy River', the divine power of each clone is equal.

Therefore, Yu Duan's current target for seizing the body has changed from divine power intensity to innate secret techniques.

The stronger the innate secret techniques, the more worthwhile it is for Yu Duan to seize them.

With the Palace Master of Yanhan's material attack weakened by a hundredfold, his own defense can be raised to another level.

"After I roam the universe, I can seize the ultimate version of Lord Yanhan's divine body, Yintuo."

……

The Primordial Realm, on the Eternal Continent.

"Om..."

Ripples spread through space and time, and the figure of the Undead Demon Banyan clone appeared silently here.

“It’s different… Under the privileges granted by the primordial universe, even the timeline appears before our eyes.”

Yu Duan's eyes reflected the entire Primordial Secret Realm, where he could see the established history of the past and all the possibilities of the future.

Tracing back through history, peering into the future, and even reversing time to resurrect people are all privileges bestowed by the primordial universe. (Note: For details on peering into the future, see Chapter 37 of Part 28 of the original work.)
"So many possibilities for the future?"

Yu Duan uses his ability to glimpse the possibilities of the future, and at this moment, countless time points and forks come into view.

Each member of the Primordial Realm has countless future possibilities.

The same person can rise to immortality in one life, while another may fall into obscurity and fade into oblivion.

The primordial universe's ability to glimpse the future only allows it to see countless possible futures, not predetermined destinies.

"A title bestowed, True Origin?"

Yu Duan's gaze fell on the young man ranked first among the members of the Primordial Secret Realm Master level.

This is a young man from the Kahuns tribe, a bloodline that is not considered particularly powerful, but rather just an ordinary one among the countless branches of the ape-man race.

The future of these young people from the Kahuns tribe branched out into dozens of main storylines, with almost all of them successfully breaking through to immortality and being granted the title of True Evolution. Only a very few of them ultimately perished.

After becoming an immortal king, every future path branches into countless future paths.

Yu Duan looked at it for a long time, but only saw a very small part of the future and did not see Luo Feng.

"This ability, while not exactly useless, can at least give a general idea of ​​a genius's potential."

This is why great beings often say that a certain genius has the potential to become a supreme being in the universe.

Because they truly have the ability to glimpse the potential of those young geniuses to become cosmic masters.

Zhenyan's potential and talent are actually only at the Bolan level. He has no ancient civilization inheritance and his upper limit is the Universe Venerable.

If one possesses the legacy of an ancient civilization, one can become the master of the universe.

"Let me see Koti..."

Yu Duan looked towards the future of Kodi.

After breaking through to immortality, both Kodi and Aarons held positions in the Primordial Secret Realm, which meant they were under Yu Duan's command.

In Kodi's future, Yu Duan almost always saw himself become a Universal Venerable, with only a very few instances of him completely perishing.

As for Aarons... he is far inferior to the True King, and has almost no chance of becoming a Universe Venerable.

Yu Duan did not continue to pry into the future.

It's too chaotic, extremely chaotic, with countless possibilities.

"Tian Chi".

Yu Duan's voice rang out, and then a flash of space appeared, and the Heavenly Chi Venerable, who had become the chief steward, appeared directly.

"What are your orders, Master?" Venerable Tianchi immediately knelt on one knee.

"The number one master of the Primordial Secret Realm has good potential and will become your personal disciple in the future."

Yu Duan directly assigned a disciple to Venerable Tian Chi; otherwise, given True King's talent, it would have been difficult for him to become a personal disciple of the Universe Venerable.

Upon hearing this, Venerable Tianchi immediately bowed and said, "Yes, Master! I will do my utmost to teach this little fellow."

"Well, let's go."

As soon as Yu Duan finished speaking, Venerable Tianchi bowed again and took his leave.

……

Meanwhile, the Ancestral Mystic Realm.

After completing its transformation, Yu Duan's Frosty Sky Beast clone returned to the Ancestral Mystic Realm.

"The upfront cost is comprehending the laws of spatial fusion... Let's comprehend the Golden Void first."

Although Yu Duan is the protector of the faith, he is not qualified to change the lineage and must go to the ancestral god.

A moment later, Yu Duan's figure arrived inside the Ancestral God Palace.

"Please inform them that the Lord of Eternity requests an audience with the Ancestral God."

Yu Duan looked at the several Universe Venerable-level guards outside the Ancestral God Palace.

"Yes!"

The leading guard quickly saluted and then turned to report.

However, before he could take any action, the gates of the Ancestral God Palace were suddenly flung open.

"Eternity, come in."

An aged voice came from inside the palace.

Immediately, Yu Duan stepped into it, his gaze fixed on the ancient ancestral god on the throne.

"Greetings, Ancestral God!"

Yu Duan bowed slightly as a gesture of respect.

A smile appeared on the ancient ancestral god's face as he said, "Eternity, I already know that you have achieved the realm of the Lord of the Universe."

"Your feat of fighting a fifth-order universe lord in the cosmic sea has already spread to all major powers, making you qualified to become the guardian deity of my Ancestral God Sect."

Yu Duan replied, "Ancestral God, I request an audience today because there is a matter that requires your assistance."

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the old ancestor, Cang, and he said, "Help? Eternal, please tell me what it is."

"I intend to study the other seven Beast God Paths besides the other Time Fusion Laws, and I hope the Ancestral God can grant me permission."

Without the appropriate permissions, even if Yu Duan enters the Land of Inheritance, it will only trigger the inheritance of the Time Fusion Law.

"Haha, no problem. From this day forward, you will be the guardian deity of my Ancestral God Sect. You should have some privileges."

"How about this... You can receive one inheritance for free in each era, regardless of level or type."

"Thank you, Ancestral God!"

After obtaining the authority granted by the Ancestral God, Yu Duan can make an appointment in advance through the Glory World, at which time he can receive the inheritance of the other Beast God's Way.

A moment later, Yu Duan left the Ancestral Temple and headed straight for the Land of Inheritance.

Before long, the complete understanding of the first level of the Golden Void Beast God's Path surged into Duan's consciousness, and it was incredibly clear, without any sign of gradually forgetting.

Although Yu Duan had not studied the laws of metal-void fusion before, his understanding of the first level was still very superficial.

After receiving the inheritance initiation, Yu Duan immediately mastered the first level of the Golden Void Beast God to perfection.

"This is the benefit of having a strong will; these superficial insights can be grasped directly through initiation."

With a thought, Yu Duan connected his consciousness to the virtual universe and began studying the second chapter of the Seven Transformations of Divine Evolution.

After briefly reviewing the second level of the text twice, he gained some insights and became the inheritor of the second level of the Golden Void Beast God's Path.

"I wonder if I'll be able to get the second level of inheritance for free."

Yu Duan once again ventured deep into the black mist and successfully initiated the transmission of the inheritance.

Just one day later, Yu Duan mastered the third level of the "Seven Transformations of Divine Evolution" to a minor level.

Further on, one can no longer directly master it through the transmission and initiation; one must comprehend it on one's own.

"The main combat avatar in the cosmic sea is not in a hurry to return. It will fully utilize the cost of this advance payment. The original universe will only take a few years."

The cost of 10 epochs in advance, returning to the 1.4 times time acceleration zone for enlightenment, is only a few years.

After repaying the cost of this advance payment, Yu Duan can directly advance his cultivation level.

...The Primordial Secret Realm, the Undead Demon Banyan Avatar.

"Both the Cosmic Sea Avatar and the Frost Sky Beast Avatar are going to study the Golden Void Fusion Law... So the other avatars should put aside their current tasks and focus on perfecting the secret technique."

Yu Duan's strongest technique, the Cosmic Cycle, could only be considered a fifth-order secret technique before.

However, now that Yu Duan has comprehended the Ten Fundamental Laws, the power of the foundational laws will be greatly enhanced.

Don't underestimate the fact that it's just a slight improvement in the fundamental laws of space.

Once fully comprehended, the combination of the ten fundamental laws will become even more perfect, multiplying their power.

"Om..."

With a thought, Yu Duan felt the aura of the ten fundamental laws ripple outwards.

Billions of dazzling threads of law intertwine and evolve, eventually outlining a phantom projection of the universe.

This is Yu Duan's most powerful technique, the secret pattern of the Cosmic Cycle Secret Method.

The cosmic phantom formed by the secret runes will cause a spatial tear after it evolves to a certain state.

That's because Yu Duan has never fully grasped the fundamental laws of space.

"Evolution, return to nothingness... and then cycle, repeating endlessly, with cause and effect intertwined."

The insights into the fundamental laws arise from the surge of emotions within one's heart, and combine and evolve in different ways.

Gradually, countless galaxies, galaxy clusters, and even galactic Great Walls (cosmic kingdoms) evolved from that illusory cosmic projection.

However, in the end, no real life evolved in Yu Duan's cosmic projection. Only countless energies and matter evolved and expanded, then reached their peak and began to decay and decline.

……

As time passed, Yu Duan invoked the power of the Ten Fundamental Laws, causing the cosmic phantom before him to cycle through the creation of the universe from the Big Bang to its final collapse.

If someone were to observe, they would notice that the countless laws and patterns that intertwine to form the illusory image of the universe are becoming increasingly simplified.

At first, even the Lord of the Universe could not comprehend any principles within this short cycle; he could only perceive the complex mysteries contained within.

As for those below the level of the Lord of the Universe, even if they were to see it, they would only think it's no different from an ordinary virtual network projection, and they wouldn't even be able to perceive the profound mysteries of the laws within it.

However, with each 'cosmic cycle', in the end, even the most ordinary immortal who has only mastered one fundamental law will be moved if they see this secret pattern.

Although it's still difficult to comprehend anything, at least one can sense that this cosmic phantom must be extraordinary.

"Finally, we've reached a perfect state!"

A look of joy appeared in Yu Duan's eyes. Before him, a three-dimensional projection, resembling a miniature universe, was slowly rotating.

The perfect state here does not mean that Yu Duan has pushed the secret technique to its limit.

Instead, it combines the ten fundamental principles to achieve a perfect state at this stage.

The whole process seems to have only taken a few years.

In reality, the main combat avatar who was cultivating in the area of ​​the black-patterned stone pillars also devoted a portion of his mind to pondering and studying along with them.

"The progress bar for the Book of Cause and Effect will take about half a month in the Primal Universe to fully complete."

"It's good that I can catch up... By the time the feedback from the Book of Cause and Effect comes, I will be able to know what level my secret technique has reached."

Yu Duan estimated that even if the power of the secret technique was not as strong as that of the most powerful beings such as the Dark Lord, the Chaos City Lord, etc.

But it should still be considered top-tier among the fifth rank, definitely much stronger than fifth-rank gatekeepers like the Lord of the Galaxy.

"The genes haven't had time to be upgraded yet. I wonder how many Treasure Points this treasure, refined over hundreds of thousands of years, can contribute."

"I don't know if it's enough to raise the gene level by 3000 times. If it really doesn't work... I'll have to borrow some from my teacher."

Refining a treasure is very time-consuming.

Given Yu Duan's mediocre skill in crafting supreme treasures, it would take him an entire era to forge even a single ordinary supreme treasure weapon.

Fortunately, Yu Duan's ordinary treasures are all quite valuable because they each contain only one complete law of the origin of time, which any universe venerable can easily comprehend.

It was precisely because of the accumulation of experience in refining treasures over the years that Yu Duan was able to leap to the top of the fifth rank after comprehending the ten fundamental laws.

……

A moment later, in Chaos City, at the Treasure Pavilion.

"Boom..."

Before Yu Duan, the stone disc of the treasure pavilion trembled, and countless blue threads spread out, revealing a total of 76 treasures.

Among them, 59 are supreme weapons, and 17 are even more difficult to forge supreme armor.

"Time-Slaying Sword, weapon type, top-grade common treasure, valued at 7 treasure points."

"..."

"A total of 76 rare common treasures. Contributing them will earn you 519 treasure points. Do you wish to contribute?"

The gentle voice that followed surprised Yu Duan.

"Over 500 Treasure Points? I only spent a little over 20 Treasure Points on these Treasure Materials, making a profit of over 20 times!"

Yu Duan originally thought that a tenfold profit would be quite good.

The result was more than twenty times the profit; if all of them were made into armor-type treasures, the profit would double.

"Confirm my contribution, then help me redeem it..."

Yu Duan presented a long list of various resources.

Within the clan's treasure trove, the most abundant gene-enhancing resources are those suitable for flesh-and-blood creatures, offering better value for money.

"Boom!"

"A total of 437 Arcana Points were required, which have been deducted. Current remaining balance: 83.7 Arcana Points."

The stone disc cracked open again, revealing a world ring.

This world ring contains all the resources that Yu Duan exchanged this time.

Yu Duan put away the World Ring and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

After leaving the treasure pavilion, Yu Duan went to his residence in the city lord's mansion and began to absorb various precious treasures to improve the genetic level of his human form.

……

The following morning, in the courtyard of Yu Duan in Chaos City.

The human form, towering tens of thousands of kilometers high, appeared exceptionally majestic, with chaotic energy intertwined with the fluctuations of the ten fundamental laws, surging around it.

After the size limit of the divine body was removed, the lords of the universe were able to easily reach divine bodies that were tens of thousands of kilometers in size.

However, improvements at the genetic level are not so easy.

However, after absorbing the precious resources and treasures of over 400 Treasure Points, he still successfully reached a genetic level of over 3000 times.

……

In the blink of an eye, several days had passed in Chaos City, while nearly half a month had passed in the Primal Universe.

Having cultivated in the environment of the cosmic sea with a time acceleration of 1.4 times, Yu Duan has finally paid the price for this advance use of the complete spatial origin law.

"Om..."

A familiar sense of excitement awakened Yu Duan, who was immersed in studying the laws of the fusion of gold and space.

Yu Duan immediately focused his mind on the book of cause and effect.

Within the divine kingdom, in the magnificent temple.

A dazzling, shimmering light emanated from the Book of Cause and Effect.

As the progress bar for repaying the cost disappears, advance payment options appear, each composed of ancient characters.

【All Things Return to Nothingness】: A top-tier fourth-order sword technique that allows you to gain insights into the fifth order in advance. The price to pay is 147 days of researching and perfecting the secret technique.

【Evolution of All Beings】: A top-tier fourth-order soul technique that allows you to advance your understanding of the fifth order. The price to pay is 391 days of researching and perfecting the technique.

[World Collapse]: A fifth-order domain-type secret technique that allows for advance access to sixth-order insights. The cost of this technique is 24.8 epochs of research and refinement.

【Cosmic Cycle】: A top-tier fifth-order secret technique that can advance the understanding of the 'sixth order'. The cost of repayment is 19.4 epochs of researching and perfecting the secret technique.

"A little over 19 epochs, which is only a dozen or so epochs in the original universe... I didn't expect it to be so short."

"Advance Payment - The Secret Technique of the Cosmic Cycle, Sixth-Order Comprehension"

Instantly, Yu Duan's consciousness was immersed in a boundless and profound realm of profound meaning.
