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

Chapter 193: The Chaos Monument is Erected, and the Illusion King Breaks Through (Bonus Chapter)

Hundreds or even thousands of supreme treasures?

Even if we filled the entire treasure trove of humankind, it would still be a drop in the ocean.

The founder of the giant axe and the Lord of Chaos City looked at each other, both showing a helpless expression.

In the entire universe, apart from those two holy lands that have stood for countless years, other forces probably cannot produce more than a hundred treasures at the peak palace level.

Even the most powerful Divine Eye Clan outside of those two holy lands probably doesn't have this kind of foundation.

“This number… is simply too much,” the founder of the giant axe couldn’t help but say.

After thinking for a moment, the Chaos City Lord said, "Actually, it's alright. After all, it's a supreme treasure. Even if we had hundreds of peak treasures, we probably couldn't exchange them for a supreme treasure."

Yu Duan smiled and said, "Take your time."

"My treasure, once repaired to the level of a peak treasure, will surpass the power of a peak top-grade domain."

"If I were to devour a supreme treasure in the future, its power would far surpass that of other treasures of the same level, and the supreme treasure that I devoured could also be condensed."

The Lord of Chaos City and the founder of the Giant Axe were once again shocked.

What an incredible treasure this is, that it has such an effect!

"Eternity, is the treasure that has been condensed any different from the one before it was devoured?" The Giant Axe Founder looked at Yu Duan.

"There will be no change in power, and it can be perfectly activated without comprehending the secret runes of the treasure. The only problem is that only I can use it."

Yu Duan explained, "My most precious treasure requires a will that transcends two realms to recognize its master."

"I am now the master of the universe. Although my will has improved, my limit should be the region with a time flow rate of 2 times that of the Black Pattern Stone Pillar."

"Now, it is no longer possible for me to reclaim this precious treasure as my own."

Upon hearing this, the founder of the Giant Axe and the Lord of Chaos City felt that this was the proper way.

If it can easily be recognized as a master, then this treasure is simply too extraordinary.

A glint flashed in the eyes of the Giant Axe Founder, and he quickly asked, "Can the Star Tower be directly devoured?"

Yu Duan shook his head: "No, that Star Tower is no weaker than my treasure."

The founder of the giant axe had an "I see" look on his face: "No wonder no one can control that supreme treasure, it turns out it's no ordinary item."

"The primordial universe is indeed full of wonders."

The Lord of Chaos sighed, then said, "I wonder if any lucky one among my human race will be born who can control that Star Tower."

The Giant Axe Founder shook his head: "Difficult. If the conditions for recognizing the Eternal Treasure as its master are so demanding, then the Star Tower is probably even more so."

"I'll set up the Eternal Sky Bridge first, let's set it to 30 floors," Yu Duan said.

"As for the Chaos Stele, it's not too late to carve it after I've compiled a complete set of ultimate secret scriptures."

The founder of the giant axe nodded and said, "Alright, I'll have Engineer Peng refine the blank Chaos Stele first."

Although the Chaos Stele is not a supreme treasure, the conditions for its creation are no less demanding, requiring the creation of a grander artistic conception that inspires contemplation.

……

Several days later, in the Primordial Secret Realm, at the Eternal Temple.

"Wow!"

The mighty and terrifying River of Life surged within the temple, and Yu Duan's undead demonic avatar instantly dissolved into this divine river.

A moment later, the river water condensed again, forming the shape of the body of the Lord of Yanhan Palace.

The towering figure with a kui head, human body, and dragon tail was surrounded by endless chaotic energy.

"Weapons, armor... Freeze!"

With a thought, Yu Duan conjured up a brand-new supreme treasure armor and longsword.

Before breaking through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, Yu Duan exchanged for an Eternal Undying Armor and a Gale Void Yin Sword from the treasure vault.

These two treasures are among the most common of the top-tier treasures.

The armor and longsword that Yu Duan is wearing now are the private collection of the founder of the giant axe, and are a set of treasures.

"This Three Tribulations Sword Armor truly lives up to its reputation as the ultimate treasure set."

If these Three Tribulations Sword Armor were separated into weapons and armor, they would be considered quite powerful among top-tier treasures.

If it's a complete set, it's the ultimate treasure in terms of both defense and attack, and it can also form a sword aura domain comparable to the best.

In terms of defense, when the triple form is perfectly activated, it can weaken physical attacks by 100,000 times.

In terms of attack, it can withstand the casting of top-tier seventh-order secret techniques. Although it is not amplified, it will not break.

This is no easy feat. The founder of the giant axe is currently most troubled by the fact that his weapon is too poor, making it impossible for him to unleash his full potential.

In addition to gifting Yu Duan the Three Tribulations Sword Armor Set, the Founder of the Giant Axe also gifted Yu Duan a set of ten-thousand-fold gene resources.

The human's divine power successfully advanced to the level of ten thousand times, and through the transformation of the River of Life, the divine body of the Undead Demon Banyan clone could also be enhanced to the limit of ten thousand times.

"In this way, I won't perish easily in the cosmic sea. Even if an eighth-order true god attacks me, surviving won't be a problem."

Yu Duan chose to have the human body reside in the Primordial Secret Realm, entrusting the task of compiling the Ultimate Secret Codex and the Chaos Stele Inheritance to the human body.

The Undead Demon Banyan clone, carrying the Giant Beast clone, returned to the Cosmic Sea once more.

However, not long after, before the Undead Demon Banyan clone arrived at the spaceship, Yu Duan received a message from the Lord of Chaos City.

“Eternity, the Chaos Monument is ready. I would like to trouble you to make a trip to Chaos City.”

"Okay, I'll be there right away!"

With a thought, Yu Duan vanished from his spot in an instant.

Not long after, in Chaos City, at the City Lord's Mansion.

Yu Duan arrived at the main hall where the Chaos Stele secret chamber was located. Along the narrow corridor, there were one Chaos Stele secret chamber after another.

Outside the secret chamber, Kandri's many clones hurriedly bowed to Yu Duan: "Greetings, Eternal Creator."

"No need to be polite."

Yu Duan nodded slightly, then took a step forward, his figure appearing directly in the newly opened 53rd Chaos Stele Chamber.

Many of these fifty-odd Chaos Monuments were erected in the ancient times of humankind, hence they only have 21 or 22 layers.

There was actually no need for further improvements, because for the Cosmic Sovereign, the Chaos Stele was no longer of much help.

Those who cultivate these minor schools of thought will generally eventually choose to study the two most universally applicable schools: the Nine Universes and the Myriad Universes.

After all, to break through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, one basically needs to comprehend two superior laws, while following the path of the Beast God is a relatively rare occurrence.

Therefore, apart from the Lord of the Universe, only a very few cosmic overlords with unique abilities are qualified to erect the Chaos Monument.

For example, the 'Star Prison Chaos Monument' is a chaos monument erected by only a few cosmic overlords after the human race entered the Age of Giant Axes.

"Based on the fundamental laws of light, one then systematically comprehends space and time, and then comprehends the principles of the universe's cycles."

Yu Duan raised his hand and pointed, and endless laws and secret patterns were reflected and engraved on the Chaos Stele.

A moment later, nine images appeared on the Chaos Stele.

The first image is of candlelight, the second of the sun and moon, the third of the galaxies... up to the eighth image, which contains the complete mysteries of the fundamental laws of light, time, and space.

The final, ninth image contains the complete Ten Fundamental Laws, which contain the mysteries of the fifth-order ultimate level.

"Let's call it the 'Eternal' Chaos Monument."

Yu Duan was too lazy to come up with any more names. He raised his hand and pointed, and the word "Eternity" appeared on the edge of the Chaos Stele.

Among the fifty-three Chaos Steles, the Eternal Chaos Stele is probably the simplest to comprehend.

Of course, this refers to the difficulty of comprehending the mysteries at the same level. Previously, Yu Duan pursued the creation of stronger secret techniques and the forging of stronger treasures based on simpler laws, and its advantages have become apparent.

Yu Duan's gaze swept over the mysterious patterns, then he nodded slightly, and his figure disappeared from the spot.

……

With the establishment of the Chaos Monument, in the virtual universe, in the Bridge to Heaven plane, a brand new bridge between heaven and earth emerged, soaring into the depths of the clouds and disappearing completely from sight.

At the same time, a notification via virtual universe email was also released.

"The strongest and eternal founder of the Virtual Universe Company—from this day forward, erect the Chaos Monument and open the Bridge to Heaven."

"All core members of the five top powers will be given a chance to switch to cultivating the Chaos Stele, with a term of 1 years."

Whether they were the lowest-level cosmic members or cosmic venerables and cosmic overlords, all were alarmed by this news.

Erecting the Chaos Monument was already a rare and grand event that was not seen for countless epochs.

But what shocked these cosmic venerables the most was the statement: "The strongest in the virtual universe company, the eternal founder."

Prior to this, there had only been one person who claimed to be the founder of the entire human race.

……

Chaos City, the Qinghuan Royal Mansion.

The once spacious mansion is now overcrowded, with powerful figures gathered in the courtyard.

"Ladies and gentlemen... I really didn't know this news, it wasn't intentional to hide it," King Qinghuan explained loudly.

King Qinghuan looked at his many old friends, half of whom were ancient and immortal kings, and the other half were various cosmic venerables.

After the announcement was sent from that virtual universe, King Qinghuan's inbox was immediately flooded with congratulatory messages and visitors.

The announcement of Yu Duan's breakthrough to become the Lord of the Universe last time was far less significant than this one.

"Hahaha, Qinghuan, I have to congratulate you again."

"Yes, yes, Qinghuan has also become very successful now. Don't forget about us old friends."

"..."

King Qinghuan had no choice but to quickly arrange a banquet to appease his many friends.

After several days of fussing, King Qinghuan discovered that people came to visit and offer their congratulations every day.

This banquet could never end; it dragged on for over a hundred years.

Seeing that the commotion was getting bigger and bigger and showed no signs of calming down, King Qinghuan chose to go into seclusion and forcibly send his guests away.

After the mansion had finally become quiet, King Qinghuan found himself unable to calm down.

Inside the quiet room, King Qinghuan was comprehending the laws, and his thoughts gradually drifted away.

"Heh heh... The Eternal Creator is actually my disciple?"

"Hahaha!"

Looking back on the nearly one million years and Yu Duan's gradual growth, King Qinghuan was also somewhat emotional.

"What is a genius? This is a genius!"

"There has never been such a heaven-defying existence in history. Among the countless races of the primordial universe, none can compare to my disciple."

King Qinghuan felt a sense of awe as he examined his hundredfold genetic divine body and the soul treasure fused within him.

The opportunities that countless cosmic venerables and cosmic overlords crave are not a problem for King Qinghuan.

The only problem is that I am too weak.

Apart from the treasures that are fused with and guard the soul, no other treasures are used.

"Perhaps... I could also try to comprehend the Eternal Chaos Stele?"

King Qinghuan had a sudden inspiration, then changed his appearance, secretly left seclusion, and slipped into the city lord's mansion.

“Kandri…”

A telepathic message startled Kandri, who then saw an unfamiliar figure shrouded in golden armor, whose aura was impossible to discern.

"It's me, Qinghuan!"

King Qinghuan sent an email to Kandri through the virtual universe.

"Don't reveal my identity. I'm going to secretly study the Eternal Chaos Stele. Is anyone still here?"

A smile flickered in Kandri's eyes as he enthusiastically exclaimed, "Hey, isn't this the famous..."

King Qinghuan's divine body trembled, his eyes changed, and his first reaction was to run away as fast as possible.

Then he saw Kandri laughing and transmitting his voice: "Just kidding, I've already blocked the sound and spying."

"See that group of people? They all have to wait for the secret chamber to open in two days so they can go together to study the Chaos Stele."

Kander pointed to the deepest part of the corridor, outside the secret chamber of the Eternal Chaos Monument.

Dozens of figures were sitting cross-legged, waiting, ranging from the cosmic level to the immortal level, representing all realms.

King Qinghuan finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Kandri, you have no idea how I've gotten through these years."

……

In a blink of an eye, two days passed.

"Rumble..."

The door to the secret chamber of the Eternal Chaos Stele opened, and figures who had completed their comprehension emerged from the Chaos Stele, each with their own unique gains.

At this moment, there were already more than a hundred people waiting outside the secret room of the Chaos Stele.

"Those of this batch who are going to study the Eternal Chaos Stele, go in."

As soon as Kandri's voice rang out, hundreds of figures, including King Qinghuan, rushed into the secret chamber of the Chaos Stele.

Fortunately, the secret chambers of the Chaos Stele are very spacious and empty.

The Chaos Stele itself was a colossal object, hundreds of meters high and nearly hundreds of meters wide, with chaotic energy faintly swirling around it.

King Qinghuan quickly chose a good spot, sat cross-legged, and looked at the patterns on the Chaos Stele.

"The first three pictures are just the most basic laws of light, there's nothing to ponder."

"The three images in the middle are simply a combination of the changes in the laws of time and the laws of light; I have already grasped them..."

King Qinghuan glanced at them, and just as he was about to look away, he realized that each of the six pictures seemed to contain a different artistic conception.

Instantly, King Qinghuan's consciousness was guided by the Chaos Stele, immersing him in those six different realms of artistic conception.

"Light, time... I never knew they could evolve and combine in such a way."

"The countless variations of the laws of time can be combined in 10081 ways, not just pause, speed up, and slow down... there are so many other variations."

……

Seven days is but a blink of an eye.

"Rumble..."

As the gates of the Chaos Monument rang once more, a series of Kandri demonic chants began to awaken these seekers: "Wake up, wake up..."

Suddenly, all the enlightened ones were awakened, including King Qinghuan.

"The law of time, the law of time... Hahahaha!!!"

King Qinghuan suddenly burst into laughter, tears streaming down his face. Countless strands of time law runes emerged, weaving together to form a complete rune pattern around his body.
