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

Chapter 208 Void-Level Treasure, The Mountain-Sitting Guest's New Move (Bonus Chapter)

"Boom!"

An endless aura of chaos erupted, and three mighty rivers of chaos swept out, overlapping and raging.

In the next instant, the three rivers surged toward Yu Duan.

"Master, my transformation is complete!"

The river spirit's voice echoed in Yu Duan's consciousness: "Now, with my help, Master can convert divine power to the strength of the first level of the divine power path!"

"Within the vast expanse of the cosmic sea, there is no being more powerful than the master's divine power and divine body!"

The third secret rune at the core of the River of Life is not complex. It is only slightly more difficult than the fifth-order secret technique of the Lord of the Universe, but far below the sixth-order level.

This third layer of secret runes was originally meant for the Lords of the Universe to comprehend, so that they could unleash a portion of the power of the True God realm!
The fourth layer of secret runes is what the true gods are meant to comprehend.

According to Yu Duan's estimation, the difficulty of comprehending the fourth level of the secret rune is estimated to be at the top level of the ninth rank.

"Okay, let me study your secret runes first."

Yu Duan's gaze fell on the crystal core of the River of Life, where three layers of secret patterns intertwined to form a whole.

The perfect combination and evolution of the ten fundamental laws simplify all mysteries to an extremely low level.

A slightly stronger fifth-order universe master can basically comprehend it thoroughly.

It took about half an hour, with a thought from Yu Duan.

"Boom!"

As he transformed into the Holy River, Yu Duan's figure instantly dissolved into the surging, chaotic river waters.

Wow!

The river surged, and then the figure emerged from the end once more.

A pressure far exceeding the genetic strength of the Lord of the Universe surged forth, and the endless chaotic air currents around it were instantly shattered and annihilated, turning into endless wind, water, fire and other energies that raged outwards.

The Divine Power Path has three levels, with thresholds of 3 times, 6 times, and 9 times the genetic potential, respectively.

In terms of divine power intensity, the improvement from following the divine power path is not significant; the main improvement is in the total amount of divine power.

Secret techniques like the Divine Power Burning Method, which allow one to fight beyond their level, consume terrifying amounts of divine power.

If one does not follow the path of divine power, even if one masters profound secret techniques of burning divine power, it will be difficult to contend with a true god.

After all, the true gods of the Origin Continent are not subject to the limitations of the primordial universe, and their divine power is a hundred times that of the Lord of the Universe.

Within the cosmic sea, the divine power of all true gods is suppressed to the level of 'ten thousand times the genes of the Lord of the Universe' (restricting attack but not defense), making it impossible to easily annihilate the Lord of the Universe.

Therefore, Yu Duan is now the most powerful being in the universe, without exception.

Feeling the surging power within him, Yu Duan smiled and said, "Even a ninth-tier True God, I should be able to contend with him."

The power of the River of Life has become stronger, and its own divine power has increased several times. With the two combined, even if it is not yet a match for a ninth-order true god, it should not be a problem to fight it out for a long time.

"Master, you are wrong. Unless it is a top-tier ninth-order True God, even a ninth-order True God cannot suppress you!"

He Ling said with exceptional pride, "A ninth-tier true god cannot use the 'words become law' technique when fighting against you, Master, and his flexibility is very poor!"

"And with my power, you, Master, can make your words become law, causing the rules of the universe to retreat and breaking the limit of a hundred times the speed of light!"

The true god who attacks the ruler of the universe will have his privilege of having his words become law restricted.

But when the Lord of the Universe fights the True God, the primordial universe will not be restricted in the slightest; all that's missing is a shout of "Well done!"
"Do not devour these finished treasures. Instead, devour all the materials used to refine these treasures."

As soon as Yu Duan finished speaking, the River of Life, which had been eagerly anticipating the moment, became excited: "Yes, Master!"

"Wow!"

The endless chaotic river spread out, filling all the spaces inside the palace and enveloping all the materials used to refine the precious treasures.

"Puff, puff..."

Countless precious materials rapidly transformed into endless essence, which was absorbed by the core components of the River of Life.

In just a few minutes, the golden core crystal trembled slightly.

Above the three complete layers of runes, the fourth layer of runes began to condense and take shape...

However, the fourth layer of secret patterns had only just begun to be outlined, and all the massive amount of materials left by Jie Fanzi for refining treasures were completely devoured.

"Master, I have now surpassed the Supreme Treasure and reached a higher level!"

"However, if Master wants to unleash my power, he still needs to comprehend the incomplete fourth layer of the secret runes."

The River of Life transmitted its message with great joy. Since its birth, this intelligence of its had been in its most vulnerable state, possessing no power whatsoever.

After countless cycles of reincarnation, the River of Life finally welcomed a new master who could control it.

Unexpectedly, it only took a little over ten million years to transform to this level, and it is only a matter of time before it returns to its peak.

"Master, the auxiliary weapons and armor I have now created are all supreme treasures, and they should also provide you with some enhancement."

As He Ling transmitted his voice, endless chaotic river water condensed, forming a plain hemp-colored battle robe on Yu Duan's body, covered with endless and complex ten-colored secret patterns.

At the same time, a long, narrow, dark golden divine sword also materialized, with extremely sharp sword energy swirling around its blade.

This auxiliary battle armor is completely immune to attacks below the eighth rank. As long as the attack does not exceed the top level of the tenth rank, it will be greatly weakened, making it even better than the peak treasure palace.

The supreme and most precious weapon makes Yu Duan's attack power at least twice as strong.

But that's the limit; even the most powerful treasure needs a sufficiently powerful secret technique to unleash its full potential.

The most important thing is the auxiliary armor.

With this supreme battle robe on his body, coupled with the strongest ability of 'Body Transforms into a Holy River'—the ability to instantly reassemble even after all his divine body has been annihilated—he possesses an invincible defense in the cosmic sea.

"Such complex evolution of secret patterns... Just as I expected, even this incomplete secret pattern requires the comprehension of the ninth level to fully understand."

Yu Duan calmed down and studied it for a while, and immediately realized that this incomplete fourth layer of secret patterns was far beyond what he could comprehend at present.

A ninth-order secret technique is ten thousand times stronger than a seventh-order secret technique.

If it's a secret technique that barely reaches the seventh or near-ninth rank, then its power is more than 100,000 times weaker.

"We can study it later. We've got the treasure and the legacy, it's time to go!"

Yu Duan took one last look at the cyan token space, then with a thought, he left this world.

Above the endless blue buildings, Yu Duan's figure appeared out of thin air.

"Boom!"

In an instant, an extremely powerful wave spread out from Duan's body, and endless chaotic energy surged along with it.

At that moment, the rules governing the universe retreated, and Yu Duan realized that the shackles that had been enveloping him had been broken.

Yu Duan's speed instantly increased from a standstill to a thousand times the speed of light, and then in just a few moments, it reached a speed of 100,000 times the speed of light.

"This speed is my current limit. If I want to get even faster, I either need to burn my divine power or obtain a heaven-defying flying treasure."

boom……

Ten thousand times the speed of light—how terrifying! Yu Duan turned into a black line, and the light he emitted didn't even have time to travel before he was annihilated.

The spacetime within the vast surrounding area was violently shaking and even shattering. Even across the vast distance, one could sense that a supreme being was using the power of words to manifest.

……

In the virtual universe, atop a vast sea of ​​clouds, many powerful figures of the human race have gathered upon majestic ancient wooden thrones.

"eternal!"

"Eternity, is there something important?"

"..."

The dozen or so cosmic lords of the human race were slightly nervous, wondering why Yu Duan had suddenly convened the Eternal Conference.

Only the founder of the giant axe had a vague idea: could it be that Eternity had made a great gain in that cyan token space?
"Gentlemen, I previously obtained a blue token from a spaceship and a map of the spaceship."

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Yu Duan then spoke: "Afterwards, I discussed with Giant Axe that I would personally go deep into the core of the spaceship to open the secret chamber containing the cyan token."

Instantly, the eyes of all the universe lords of the human race lit up.

The cyan token space may theoretically contain existences at the level of supreme treasures.

"Inside the secret chamber containing the token, there are a large number of treasures and resources, including over thirty items such as the Peak Palace and special treasures..."

Yu Duan briefly explained the basic situation, and immediately all the universe lords began to breathe heavily.

More than a hundred supreme treasures—the entire human race's treasury has never produced so many treasures.

"I no longer need these treasures, so I will donate them all to the clan. As for how the clan will distribute them, you can discuss it yourselves."

"In addition, I also obtained a tenth-level secret technique in this inheritance space, which all the universe masters of my human race can comprehend."

A tenth-level secret technique naturally made many powerful figures from various races very happy.

However, what the rulers of the universe cared about more were those treasures.

Tenth-tier secret techniques are powerful, but they are not something that can be comprehended at will; they are even more difficult to comprehend than the secret runes of the most powerful treasures.

In the core area of ​​the spaceship, as Yu Duan was flying at high speed, a wisp of divine power penetrated into a seemingly ordinary transparent crystal sphere.

This transparent crystal sphere contains a wealth of information, which is none other than Jie Fanzi's most powerful ultimate technique, "The Origin of Water and Fire".

"This is the most important takeaway..."

What Yu Duan values ​​most is the origin of water and fire, hoping it can inspire him.

According to the description of this ultimate technique, "The Origin of Water and Fire," if one can truly cultivate it to its peak, one can instantly create a true universe with a thought, using the two origins of water and fire as the core.

When the Ten Fundamental Laws condense into the void, one can break through to become a True God of the Void.

Going a step further, touching upon the fundamental Dao and comprehending the so-called source of laws, one can condense a miniature universe.

"This senior Jie Fanzi had already embarked on the path to becoming an eternal true god, but... in the end he still failed."

With guidance, a tenth-order True God could easily break through to the realm of a Void True God.

However, both Jie Fanzi and the Primordial Ancestor were unable to become True Gods of the Void and open up the Holy Land Universe because they lacked guidance, or rather, the most crucial instruction.

"I have already comprehended the Ten Fundamental Laws."

"But my understanding of the Ten Fundamental Laws is still at the most conventional level."

"There is still a long way to go before reaching the tenth level and condensing the void."

The enlightenment of the True God realm mainly involves comprehending the combination and even fusion of the ten fundamental laws.

Once you reach the tenth level, you will have grasped the ultimate combination of the ten fundamental laws and can attempt to condense the void to break through.

"I know nothing about the higher-level sources of laws or the fundamental Dao."

"I hope that studying this book, 'The Origin of Water and Fire,' will give me some inspiration, at least enough to get to this level first."

Which fundamental path to cultivate in the future is something to consider only after achieving the realm of an eternal true god.

At this stage, Yu Duan is just a minor seventh-order universe master, comprehending whatever comes his way.

……

Deep within the Black Striped Stone Pillar region lies an area with a time flow rate of 11 times.

Here, the will of the True God level surges through the endless void.

On a towering boulder, Yu Duan sat cross-legged, letting the will of a Void God-level being impact him.

More than 1600 million years have passed. Yu Duan has been improving his understanding and perfecting the secret techniques while also tempering his will.

With time accelerated tens of thousands of times, Yu Duan had already successfully raised his will level to the level of a Void True God.

However, after breaking through the bottleneck of the Void God's will, it becomes increasingly difficult to improve the will, and every bit of improvement is hard-won.

"My understanding of the combined operation of the Ten Fundamental Laws has significantly improved..."

With a thought, Yu Duan focused his consciousness on the divine kingdom and looked at the Book of Cause and Effect inside the temple.

On the Book of Cause and Effect, a progress bar is jumping rapidly.

[Paying off the advance cost: Researching and perfecting the secret technique. 3.74 million epochs, current progress: 1.04 million epochs...]

At a time flow rate of 110,000 times, Yu Duan only needs to have passed through more than 2,000 epochs in the original universe to fill the remaining 270 million epochs of progress bar.

"The top level of the sixth rank is only slightly stronger than the sixth rank, and only ten times stronger than the top level of the fifth rank. Therefore, the Book of Cause and Effect skips over this small realm of the top level of the sixth rank."

"However, the difference between the seventh and eighth tiers is as high as a hundred times, so it is estimated that it cannot be skipped directly."

"I need to use the remaining time to bring my secret technique as close as possible to the top level of the seventh rank, or even create a top level seventh rank secret technique myself!"

This is an extremely difficult achievement to attain.

Fortunately, Yu Duan's understanding of the eight laws of fusion had already increased the power of the cosmic cycle by two or three times.

The combination of the eight principles of integration and the ten fundamental principles is naturally much stronger than the ten fundamental principles alone.

However, it is not so easy to make significant improvements in a short period of time afterward.

Otherwise, a seventh-tier top-tier universe master wouldn't deserve the word "rare" on the Origin Continent.

……

Time passes silently, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of thousands of years have passed in the primordial universe.

Yu Duan's four divine bodies were all in seclusion, perfecting their own secret techniques, studying the origins of water and fire, and analyzing life genes... In short, every day was fulfilling.

"Master, the Lord of Puti requests an audience, claiming to have made a significant discovery in the Cosmic Sea!"

Naturally, it transmits messages to the terminal through the virtual universe.

"A major discovery?"

Yu Duan had said long ago that even if a supreme treasure were to appear, he should not be disturbed now.

A moment later, in the virtual universe, within Yu Duan's private space.

"Homage to the Eternal Creator!"

Above the endless sea of ​​clouds, Puti's figure had just been teleported over, and he immediately bowed and greeted Yu Duan.

"No need for formalities, Puti, have you made a significant discovery in the cosmic sea?"

Faced with Duan's question, the Lord of Puti quickly replied, "It is an ancient palace that appeared out of nowhere, in the Liuchong Mountain and Mist Sea region."

"There is an intelligence in that palace that calls itself 'Jinling' and claims to have the ability to break through the inheritance of the strongest without creating a sixth-order secret technique."
