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

Chapter 257 Another Advance Payment, Strength Soars

Next to the city lord's mansion in Sanyuan City stands a magnificent Chaos Palace.

The Chaos Palace is also an administrative department, specifically responsible for managing residential affairs.

Any being at the True God Realm can apply for a residence on the first floor of the Chaos Palace, but they need to pay a Chaos Crystal for each era.

Of course, the dwelling place of a True God Realm being is naturally the lowest level, and it is impossible for it to be close to the Chaos Ruins; it belongs to the outer city area.

……

The third level of the Chaos Palace is magnificent and imposing, with divine pillars standing tall.

As soon as Yu Duan and Mo He arrived at this floor, a staff member at the Void True God realm came to greet them.

"Greetings, Divine Lord!" The burly Void God quickly bowed in respect.

Yu Duan nodded: "I will be staying in Sanyuan City for a while and need a place to stay."

Upon hearing this, the Void God smiled broadly and said, "Divine Lord, this is a three-dimensional map of the circular area of ​​the Chaos Ruins in my Three Yuan City, which contains more than 20,000 cave dwellings."

As they spoke, a 3D projection of Sanyuan City appeared.

At the very center of Sanyuan City lies the Chaotic Ruins, shrouded in endless chaotic mist, connecting to the Chaotic Layer.

Surrounding the Chaos Ruins are numerous cave dwellings of similar size.

Although it is called a cave, it is actually a territory, with a standard area of ​​20 kilometers in length and width, containing mountains, lakes, and various buildings.

If an eternal true god wants to establish a power, he will usually purchase multiple cave dwellings and connect them to form a super-large cave dwelling.

"I've bought all the cave dwellings in this area."

Yu Duan raised his hand and pointed, and a wisp of chaotic energy rippled out, forming a radiant glow that encircled an area on the projection, encompassing more than thirty cave dwellings.

"God, Divine Lord, the price of each cave dwelling is 800 cosmic sands..."

The voice of the Void God trembled slightly. Even an Eternal God would not normally purchase such a large area of ​​land for residence.

"This is 3 units of cosmic sand."

Yu Duan directly took out 30,000 units of cosmic sand: "Don't waste my time."

"Yes Yes!"

The Void God broke out in a light sweat and quickly performed a series of operations, unifying the control of the numerous cave dwellings onto a single token.

"May I ask your name, Divine Lord? Information is required for transactions within the cave."

"Eternal Realm".

As soon as Yu Duan finished speaking, the Void God hurriedly registered and then respectfully presented the token with both hands.

"Divine Lord, from now on, you can control all formations within this super-large cave. Anyone who trespasses will be suppressed."

Yu nodded, accepted the token, and then left the Chaos Palace with the respectful farewell of the Void God.

After Yu Duan left, the Void God officials were thrown into chaos.

"Quickly, report to the City Lord's Mansion. An unknown Eternal True God has purchased a super-large cave dwelling, seemingly intending to establish a power."

……

A moment later, near the Chaos Ruins, came a picturesque area with clear waters and lush mountains.

Ancient trees are everywhere, shrouded in mist. The mountain ranges are not particularly steep, with the highest only about a million kilometers long, but they are covered in clouds and have various wonders.

"Buzz!"

As Yu Duan and Mohe entered this area, the formation was activated.

Instantly, endless divine light rose and intertwined, forming a huge barrier that enveloped the entire area before disappearing.

"Master, aren't we being a little too high-profile?"

Mohe felt a little uneasy, as he had some basic understanding of the Origin Continent.

But Mohe also understood the value of cosmic sand. In just one day, the transaction of tens of millions of cosmic sands and the purchase of a super-large cave dwelling... were not the work of an ordinary eternal true god.

“Wealth corresponds to strength, and this amount of wealth is not enough to make the Great Sage of Chaos act rashly.”

Yu Duan knew that he had to be high-profile when necessary, otherwise people would come looking for trouble.

Faced with an eternal true god of unknown origin who possesses vast wealth, only a fool would provoke such a being.

Yu Duan raised his hand, took out the Dark Palace Token of Yanfeng Guild Hall, and threw it to Mohe.

"When your cultivation resources arrive, go and get them yourself. I'm going into seclusion."

"Yes, Master!" Mohe replied solemnly.

Among the many cave dwellings purchased by Yu Duan, each cave dwelling contains various buildings and a large underground palace, serving as both a place for daily life and a place for seclusion.

Yu Duan chose an ancient courtyard with mottled and weathered walls, creating a mysterious atmosphere.

Beneath this courtyard lies an underground palace.

However, this underground palace was very small. Yu Duan released his mechanical palace, the Heavenly Palace, and cultivated directly in the space inside the Heavenly Palace.

"Boom!"

A terrifying pressure erupted from Yu Duan's body, instantly manifesting his divine form, which was 1.2 million kilometers tall.

This divine body is a million times smaller than the divine body from the time of the True God of the Cosmic Sea.

"I need to cultivate the 'Indestructible Golden Body' method first. I am too weak now, far inferior to Mohe."

The strongest inheritance that Yu Duan possesses, the "Boundless Chaos Body," requires mastering the laws of chaos to begin cultivating, which is too advanced for Yu Duan to grasp at present.

The method of achieving an indestructible golden body is a technique that involves refining external objects and using the methods of weapon crafting to enhance one's divine power.

Yu Duan does not reject using external forces to make himself stronger. As long as it is not an external force with side effects like the Hunyuan Bloodline, he is not afraid of any means that can make him stronger.

The "Indestructible Golden Body" is divided into nine layers.

It is a unique skill created by Wu Zhi Shen Wang by combining his own expertise in weapon crafting with the super secret technique of "Boundless Chaos Body".

The first three levels are for the cultivation of the Eternal True God, which requires a wealth of about 500 million cosmic sands, which Yu Duan had already prepared.

The middle three levels are for cultivating in the Chaos Realm. If one can completely master them, one will become a powerful expert at the peak of the Chaos Realm.

If a powerful individual possesses an infinite divine body, completing six body refinements will allow them to survive against ordinary god-kings and grant them abilities approaching the transcendence of the Chaos Realm.

As for the final three levels, one naturally needs to be at the first level of the God King realm to cultivate them.

"Boom!"

With a thought, millions of light clusters appeared instantly, hovering in mid-air, resembling a colorful galaxy.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Duan activated the magic method, and endless divine power rippled out, transforming into blazing flames that melted and refined many precious materials and treasures, thereby enhancing himself.

While practicing the cultivation method, Yu Duan was also studying the mysteries within it, multitasking to research and perfect his own "Myriad Realms" secret technique and grind his own progress bar.

"The chaotic laws here are more clearly perceived. Even if I multitask, the time it takes me to fully complete the progress bar can be shortened from 300 million days to about 50 days."

Yu Duan's current understanding can be considered to be at the intermediate level of an Eternal True God.

After that comes the sixteenth-tier top-level Eternal True God (highest level) and the peak Eternal True God level.

"I wonder how many times the progress bar will increase if I borrow the insights of the advanced Eternal Realm in advance."

Yu Duan calmed down and began his seclusion.

……

In the blink of an eye, more than two days have passed.

Mohe, who was studying the various inheritances of the Dao of Destruction, showed a slight change in expression: "The food has been delivered!"

Mohe quickly transformed into a streak of light and headed straight for the Yanfeng Guild Hall.

Before long, Mohe entered the main building of the Yanfeng Guild Hall, where staff members led him into a hall to collect resources.

At this moment, deep within the Yanfeng Guild Hall area, in an ancient pavilion.

"Master, the mysterious Lord of the Eternal Realm did not appear in person, but only sent his servants. Your plan has failed."

A young, beautiful, and energetic girl sidled up next to an old man and chuckled.

The old man looked at Mohe through the array projection, his expression slightly serious: "Such a terrifying aura of slaughter and destruction..."

"Xiao Xuan Sui, don't underestimate this servant." "Even if your brother personally took action, he probably wouldn't be a match for this servant."

The girl called Xiao Xuan Sui was stunned and said in disbelief, "Master, you're not joking, are you? My brother has an infinite divine body."

The old man smiled confidently and said, "I have been studying the mysteries of cause and effect for countless years. Although I cannot calculate the details of the two, the Lord of the Eternal Realm and his servant, I can sense the profound weight of their karmic connection..."

“I have never seen a powerhouse in the Eternal Realm with such profound karma in Xuandu.”

“Even your brother, and those first-class marquises at the Eternal Realm, are not as good as this servant.”

"As for that Hengjie Divine Lord... I can't even detect the slightest cause and effect. It's as if this person doesn't exist in the world, but is just a phantom."

Within the Origin World, everything has a cause and effect, even inanimate objects.

However, since there is no cause and effect, it is as if Yu Duan does not exist.

"I estimate that it was a God-King with a lineage of cause and effect who personally intervened to cover up the cause and effect for that Eternal Realm God-King."

As the old man finished speaking, the girl's eyes lit up. She said, "There are very few God-Kings who understand the Dao of Cause and Effect in the entire Origin Continent. They are basically all subordinate to the five major powers."

"So, this Hengjie Divine Lord is either a genius nurtured by my Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, or he comes from the Leiting Ancient Kingdom or one of the other three first-class forces?"

The Time and Cause and Effect schools of thought have the fewest practitioners on the Origin Continent.

There are very few forces that have inherited these two major schools of thought.

While there are many powerful God-Kings on the entire Origin Continent, they are still relatively few. Those who cultivate the Great Dao of Cause and Effect are even rarer, almost one in a hundred, and are mostly powerful figures from the five major powers.

"No matter what, we must not be negligent. If this Eternal Realm True God comes from the Thunder Ancient Kingdom, then we must pay even more attention to him."

The old man, who was the owner of the museum, looked serious and adjusted the level of importance he attached to Yu Duan to the highest level in Sanyuan City.

While the Yanfeng Guild was studying Yu Duan, the City Lord's Mansion also attached great importance to Yu Duan.

At this moment, inside Cave No. 8 of Chaos Ruins, in a magnificent pavilion.

Wanze Gumo, the second member of the Wanze clan and the only Eternal Realm child of City Lord Wanze Tianlun, is currently reviewing Yu Duan's information.

"Not a single piece of intelligence? The Flamewind Guild didn't gather any information either?"

Before Wan Zegu Mo, a Void True God knelt respectfully and said, "Reporting to the Commander, the information about this Hengjie Divine Lord in the Yanfeng Guild Hall is priced at 5000 Cosmic Sands. This subordinate has no right to purchase such valuable information."

5000 cosmic sands?
Wan Zegu Mo's expression turned slightly serious.

The information about a typical eternal true god is only a few hundred cosmic grains of sand.

"Shh!"

Wan Zegumo flipped his right hand, and a Dark Palace token from the Yanfeng Guild appeared, allowing him to directly purchase a piece of information about Yu Duan.

The Wanze clan stored a lot of cosmic sand at the Yanfeng Guild Hall to facilitate the purchase of intelligence.

Yu Duan's intelligence report was brief, consisting of only a few sentences.

The Eternal Realm God-King possesses immense strength, at least at the peak of the Eternal True God realm.

His net worth exceeds ten million cosmic sands, and he has an invincible servant named Mo Heng, whose origins are unknown.

"A heaven-defying, eternal true god?"

Wan Zegu Mo was shocked. To be praised by Yanfeng Guild as an invincible Eternal True God meant that he was capable of surviving even against a Chaos Realm expert.

It should be noted that even a newly ascended Chaos Realm expert can easily kill a peak Eternal Realm expert.

"Pass down the message to all the clan members: do not provoke the Eternal Realm God. If anyone offends him... go and apologize. He deserves to die."

……

Time flies, and nearly 20 days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Deep within the cave, in the majestic Heavenly Palace, a colossal god, approximately 180 billion kilometers tall, sits cross-legged.

This is the limit of the Great Perfection Divine Body in the realm of Eternal True God, which is much higher than the limit of the Infinite Divine Body at 36 billion kilometers, a difference of five times.

"Om..."

A familiar stirring arose from the heart of the true God, and Yu Duan was awakened.

"I never expected that my liver would be full in just over 20 days."

Every 1 days, Yu Duan would directly confront the Great Dao of the Origin of Life and the Great Dao of the Boundless Origin.

Each time you directly confront the fundamental Dao, your understanding will increase significantly, and the progress bar will naturally shorten.

In the end, it only took a little over 20 days to fill the progress bar.

[Myriad Realms]: A mid-level Eternal True God-level secret technique, which can pre-draw insights into 'high-level Eternal True God-level'. Cost: 2694 million days of researching and perfecting the secret technique.

[Indestructible Golden Body]: The second body refinement allows for advance access to insights from the 'Third Body Refinement'. Cost: 1.2 million days of researching and understanding the mysteries of weapon crafting and the laws of chaos.

【…】

[Willpower Realm] Chaos Overlord level willpower, can pre-draw 'God King Level 1' willpower, the price to pay is: to hone the willpower for 19,000 epochs using willpower secret techniques.

"More than 2600 million days, not bad."

Yu Duan glanced at the various options for advance payment, and the one with the lowest cost-effectiveness was probably advance payment of the God-King level will.

It takes nearly 20,000 epochs to cross just two major realms.

For other eternal true gods, if they could possess a god-king level will, let alone tempering themselves for 20,000 epochs, even tempering themselves for 2 million epochs would be extremely worthwhile.

But for Duan, 20,000 years is too long.

"Pre-emptive access to insights into the myriad realms' secret techniques..."

As soon as Yu Duan had a thought, his whole body trembled, and his consciousness was immersed in a vast chaotic space.

To be precise, Yu Duan felt as if he had become a chaotic space.

The entire chaotic space is evolving, with countless chaotic currents circulating, demonstrating many mysteries such as the laws of chaos, the source of the infinite, the source of the world, the source of life, and the source of destruction.

The level of understanding is fixed. The more types of Great Daos Yu Duan integrates into his Myriad Realms Secret Technique, the less his understanding of each Great Dao will improve.

If Yu Duan were to cultivate all nine fundamental Daos simultaneously, even if he were to preemptively use techniques from the God King realm, his comprehension and improvement in each fundamental Dao would still fall far short of the level of the first level of the God King realm.

This is reasonable. If every Great Dao could be directly upgraded to the first level of the God King realm, then the time required for advance payment would also increase dramatically.

In Yu Duan's perception, it seemed as if endless years had passed.

When consciousness leaves this state of mind, the outside world passes by in an instant.

"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful... Based on the mysteries of the laws of chaos, it simultaneously demonstrates four different fundamental mysteries, so perfect!"

Yu Duan opened his eyes, and divine power surged from his majestic divine body.

Instantly, Yu Duan's divine power structure evolved to become more complex, stable, and increasingly solid.

Besides refining external treasures to enhance one's abilities, the body-refining method can also create a more complex and profound divine power structure, making the divine body more solid and powerful.

"With the indestructible golden body, my confidence in the third body refinement is growing stronger."

"I estimate that after another advance on my insights, I can proceed with the third body refinement."

"At that time, even with my bare hands, I will still be a being beyond the peak of the conventional eternal true god."

With a thought, Yu Duan's invisible will spread out and looked towards Mohe.

At this moment, Mohe's aura was dozens of times stronger than when he had just transcended. He wielded a large axe, brandishing it, and a terrifying wave of destructive power rippled outwards.

"With enough food, Mohe is progressing much faster than I am."

"It is estimated that Mohe is now comparable to the weakest Chaos Realm."

Once both I and Mohe become rulers of chaos, we can try to join a major power.

"My progress is still not fast enough. It seems I need to buy some resources."

Yu Duan still has nearly 600 million cosmic sands, which can be used to purchase many treasures to aid in cultivation.

For example, a precious treasure like the 'Blood of the Brilliant Beast' can be consumed to the point that one feels as if they are merging with chaos, thus providing a certain boost to one's understanding of the laws of chaos.

This 'Blood of the Radiant Beast' is sold by the drop, with each drop lasting for 100 million days, and priced at 10,000 cosmic sands.

To purchase the 'Blood of the Radiant Beast' needed for one epoch, 100,000 units of cosmic sand are required.

"I'll buy the 10th century's worth first. By then, I should have strength close to the Chaos Realm."
