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

Chapter 261 Finally Reaching the Chaos Realm

"We already have the basic idea; we'll refine it gradually in the future."

Yu Duan is currently only a minor invincible being in the Eternal Realm. He might be able to survive against ordinary Chaos Realm cultivators, but he could never defeat them.

Even if they cultivate all nine Great Daos, Yu Duan would definitely prioritize cultivating the two fundamental Great Daos of Boundless and Life.

With the Boundless Eye and the Primordial Universe present, Yu Duan's cultivation of these two Great Paths will be twice as effective with half the effort.

Secondly, the one with the highest affinity is the Great Dao of the World's Origin. The core of Yu Duan's Great Perfection Divine Body is the profound mystery of the World's Origin.

"Mohe, there are still some things I don't quite understand about the evolution of the laws of chaos..."

Yu Duan summoned Mohe, and with the guidance and interpretation of this Chaos Beast, Yu Duan's comprehension efficiency continued to improve.

……

While Yu Duan was cultivating in seclusion, a piece of news caught the attention of some powerful figures on the Origin Continent.

The Dark Hall of the Flamewind Guild removed the bounty on Demon Blood Marquis and then shared the news with all the guests who had placed the bounty.

"Demon Blood Marquis? Has a God-King made a move?"

"The top-tier Chaos Realm cultivators who cultivate the Great Dao of the Origin of Life have extremely strong life-preserving abilities, and even those who have transcended the Chaos Realm would find it difficult to completely kill them."

"This beast is finally dead. Feng Heng, the Great Sage, tried to kill him six times, but he never completely annihilated him."

"The Flamewind Guild has updated its intelligence: the one who killed Demon Blood Marquis was a Chaos Realm expert who cultivated the Great Dao of Destruction!"

Those who can kill top experts in the Chaos Realm are all transcendent beings in the Chaos Realm.

Throughout the entire Origin Continent, there are seventy Chaos Realm Transcenders, many of whom cultivate the Great Dao of Destruction.

Of the nine fundamental paths, the two that are cultivated most often are the paths of life and destruction.

One has terrifying survival abilities, the other has extremely powerful killing methods, and compared to other fundamental Dao paths, it is easier to learn.

This has led many to speculate about the identity of the Chaos Realm Transcendent who killed Demon Blood Marquis.

If the God-King had personally killed the Blood Demon Lord, it wouldn't have caused such a huge uproar.

However, if it is the Chaos Realm that makes the move, then it is a different story. Even those powerful forces are quite curious and have even used causal deduction to deduce some clues.

This is only because Mohe has almost no karmic connection with the Origin Continent; otherwise, his true identity would have been exposed long ago.

……

Time flies, and nearly 5 centuries have passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the Yanfeng Clubhouse, in an elegant little building.

"What? The mysterious Chaos Realm expert who killed Demon Blood Marquis is in our Three Elements City?"

Di Xuangu, the owner of Yanfeng Guild Hall, looked at the young man in disbelief, and then hurriedly asked, "Lord Marquis, how true is this news?"

Before Emperor Xuangu stood a valiant young man, clad in crimson-gold battle armor and carrying an astonishingly large broadsword.

The young man laughed and said, "Of course it's true. After my father came out of seclusion and learned of this news, he used the treasures bestowed by the Emperor to personally deduce it."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have come all this way in person."

"The Mysterious Floss God King himself deduced it... then it must be correct. That Great Sage of the Eternal Realm is actually a Chaos Realm Transcendent."

An expression of amazement appeared on the face of the old man, Di Xuangu.

Xuanxu God King is the strongest God King in the Di Xuan lineage, second only to the Emperor. He cultivates both the Great Dao of Life and the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, and holds an extremely high position.

The young man before them was named Di Xuanming. He was the strongest among the six first-class marquises of the Chaos Realm in the Di Xuan lineage, and he also had a powerful father. He was destined to become a Chaos Realm transcendent in the future.

“Xuan Gu, tell me about this Great Sage of the Eternal Realm first.”

Di Xuanming said seriously, "As you know, I still have a guest elder position that I haven't used yet."

Upon hearing this, Di Xuangu couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "My lord, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but I know very little information. This Great Sage of the Eternal Realm has only been in Sanyuan City for less than sixteen epochs."

……

Yu Duan ignored all the disturbances happening in the outside world, immersing himself entirely in comprehending the laws of chaos and the mysteries of the two fundamental origins of immeasurable and life.

"I've finally digested most of my insights. Facing the Great Dao again should fill up the progress bar."

With a thought, Yu Duan glanced at the progress bar, which had about 1.4 million days left, and immediately activated the Boundless Eye.

Within the heart of the true god at the end, the silent, boundless eye lit up, and countless spectra overlapped, transforming into a brilliant, flawed color.

At the core of the Boundless Eye, the dark and deep spacetime rift seemed to come alive at this moment, swallowing Yu Duan's will within it.

"Boom!"

A blurry yet dazzling light and shadow emerged, revealing a magnificent and radiant golden geometric shape.

Another basic gold line splits and spreads out, extending and subdividing infinitely to form countless complex patterns, encompassing all phenomena.

An immense and boundless message crashed into Yu Duan's consciousness like a torrent.

At this moment, Yu Duan's divine body was trembling violently, a sign that his mental will and soul were overloaded.

The whole process lasted for a short while before Yu Duan immediately withdrew from the state of directly facing the Great Dao of Origin.

Even with Yu Duan's current will, it's still difficult for him to face the fundamental Dao for too long; otherwise, the distortion of his perception and understanding would be no joke.

“Every time I face the boundless primordial Dao, I feel that my understanding of various energies is simply absurd.”

Yu Duan breathed a sigh of relief; this feeling was actually a kind of cognitive distortion and illusion.

As Yu Duan fully digests this realization, this cognitive distortion and illusion will gradually subside.

In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.

Just as Yu Duan was immersed in digesting his insights, Duan Gan Hongcheng respectfully came to pay his respects.

"Master, the Yanfeng Guild has sent an invitation. It is said that a member of the royal family, a Marquis of the Chaos Realm, has come to Sanyuan City and wishes to make your acquaintance."

As they spoke, Duan Gan Hongcheng respectfully presented the invitation in his hand.

The invitation was pale gold, made of some precious metal, a material that could be used to create prototypes.

Although the value of a primordial embryo is not comparable to that of a true god-king level weapon, the material value of this invitation is still worth hundreds of millions of cosmic sands.

On the gold invitation card were pale silver characters that read, "Respectfully invited by Emperor Xuanming."

"The Yanfeng Club has really put a lot of thought into this."

Yu Duan mentally estimated that after facing the Great Dao of Origin this time, it would take another three to five thousand days for the progress bar to be full.

However, after breaking through, Yu Duan needs to settle down for a period of time; otherwise, he will only be at the peak of the Chaos Realm.

"Reply to the Flame Wind Guild for me, saying that I am currently in a critical period of cultivation and need to cultivate in seclusion for another 5 epochs."

If Yu Duan breaks through, and then has another five epochs to cultivate in seclusion, he will surely possess the strength to transcend the Chaos Realm.

The time it took for Emperor Xuanming to wait for five epochs was not too long.

If Di Xuanming is willing to wait, Yu Duan would not mind becoming his guest minister.

"Yes, Master, I will reply immediately!"

Duan Gan Hongcheng once again bowed respectfully to Yu Duan.

Meeting Yu Duan was Duan Gan Hongcheng's greatest fortune.

For a Void True God, obtaining the inheritance at the level of an Eternal True God is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Yu Duan directly bestowed it upon him, and although he also left control methods on him, these were not methods of enslaving the mind and soul, and could definitely be called a great favor.

After Duan Gan Hongcheng left, Yu Duan continued his secluded cultivation.

……

Upon receiving Duan Gan Hongcheng's reply, the owner of Yanfeng Guild Hall, Di Xuangu, was slightly displeased.

“My lord, this Great Sage of the Eternal Realm is far too arrogant. Even among those who have transcended the Chaos Realm, there are quite a few in Xuandu. There’s no need for him to be so arrogant…”

Before Di Xuangu could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Di Xuanming.

"Isn't it normal for a wild, transcendent Chaos Realm cultivator to be a little arrogant?"

Di Xuanming smiled and said, "Although my father never deduced the true origin of this Chaos Realm Transcendence, he can confirm that this peak Chaos Realm cultivator has no connection whatsoever with the two ancient kingdoms, the three first-class forces, the three hidden forces, or the Shadow Heaven Realm." The two ancient kingdoms and the three first-class forces are those that openly possess Emperor-level combat power.

But this is only on the surface.

There are also three major clandestine forces and the Shadow Heaven Realm, all of which possess Emperor-level beings.

The three major hidden forces—the Two Realms Palace, the Myriad Laws Pavilion, and the Time-Space Lonely Boat—are all forces established by powerful beings from other races. Their founders are all beings outside the shackles of the mortal realm, belonging to the same high level as the ancestors of the two countries and the ancestor of the Eastern Extreme Domain.

The Shadow Realm is also very mysterious, being the strongest assassin force on the Origin Continent.

No one knows the details of the Shadow Heaven Realm, but countless years ago, an Emperor-level being from the Shadow Heaven Realm killed an ancient God King at the second level, which alarmed the entire Origin Continent.

"Five eras is not a long time. Perhaps this Great Sage of the Eternal Realm is indeed in a critical period of seclusion. Waiting for five eras is nothing."

As soon as Di Xuanming finished speaking, the hall master Di Xuangu was shocked.

To achieve transcendence in the Chaos Realm, which one doesn't come from a major power?
"Your Excellency is wise; I have underestimated the heroes of the world," Di Xuangu quickly flattered.

As an eternal true god, Di Xuangu would never normally have the opportunity to come into contact with a first-class marquis, so this was his chance.

……

In the blink of an eye, about four thousand days have passed.

On this day, Yu Duan, who was immersed in digesting his insights, suddenly felt a tremor in his heart.

The fluctuations of the Book of Cause and Effect are rekindled within the heart of the true God.

"Pre-emptive access to a complete understanding of the laws of chaos!"

The vast and surging mysteries of chaotic evolution flooded into Duan's mind.

At this moment, Yu Duan seemed to have entered a chaotic space-time, and his whole being seemed to have transformed into a mass of chaotic origin.

Every second, it is constantly evolving, revealing the fundamental mysteries of various chaotic laws.

Time, space, gold... the ten fundamental laws of light converge perfectly at this moment, revealing the full mysteries of the supreme law.

It is unknown how many years he spent meditating in this 'chaotic space', but Yu Duan finally had a flash of inspiration and saw through the primordial light that evolved all laws.

……

Outside, in the blink of an eye, Yu Duan slowly opened his eyes.

"The Laws of Chaos... the foundation of the Great Dao, the origin of all things, so exquisite, so magnificent!"

Yu Duan couldn't help but sigh, his heart filled with immense joy—the joy of seeking the Dao.

Since comprehending the first fundamental law, Yu Duan has felt immense joy and satisfaction with each new law he comprehends.

"Let's take a look at the costs of advance payment."

With a thought, Yu Duan's gaze fell upon the Book of Cause and Effect within the Heart of the True God.

[Paying off the advance cost: Researching and comprehending the fundamental Dao in the 14164th century, current progress...]

The laws of chaos are the foundation of the Great Dao. Therefore, the price to pay for comprehending the laws of chaos is to delve into the fundamental Great Dao.

The cost of this advance payment of more than 14,000 epochs was calculated based on the efficiency of enlightenment during the time of the Eternal True God.

With this advancement to the Chaos Realm, the efficiency of comprehension will also increase significantly.

Even if his comprehension and will remain unchanged, the speed at which his soul and mind operate will increase a hundredfold, greatly improving Yu Duan's efficiency in comprehending the truth.

Furthermore, only after comprehending the laws of chaos can one directly comprehend the fundamental Dao; otherwise, what one comprehends will only be an incomplete understanding of the fundamental mysteries.

This one point alone increased Yu Duan's comprehension efficiency by more than a hundredfold.

"First, break through to the next level, allowing the Heart of the True God and the miniature universe to transform!"

……

The primordial universe region, a small universe at the edge.

"Boom!"

The miniature universe, with a diameter of hundreds of billions of light-years, suddenly began to roar and tremble at this moment.

At the center of the small universe, the hidden primordial plane also underwent a sudden change.

The vast and magnificent origin of the universe and the boundless ocean of divine power suddenly became one at this moment as the entire primordial plane collapsed.

"Buzz!"

As the power of the laws of chaos surged, the endless primordial power evolved, transforming into a surging and vast chaotic force.

The chaotic laws that had been hidden since the beginning of the microcosm reappeared at this moment and materialized into the origin of the microcosm at the end.

Just moments later, Yu Duan's small cosmic origin plane transformed into a perfect chaotic origin space.

Within the small universe at the edge of the universe, galaxies are in motion.

In a majestic city, many powerful individuals who had been cultivating in seclusion were alarmed.

"what happened?"

"What happened?!"

Luo Feng, Bing Feng, Huang Jian, and many other universe masters noticed the changes in Yu Duan's small universe immediately.

Outside the small universe at the end, the original cosmic membrane transformed into endless chaos and began to spread.

At the same time, a message was also sent through the virtual universe to all the universe lords and true god-level powerhouses of the Hong Alliance.

"The Eternal Ancestor has broken through again, and the mini-universe will expand once more. This will not pose any danger, so there is no need to panic!"

This news, announced personally by the Primordial Ancestor, shocked countless powerful individuals.

How long has it been since the Eternal Ancestor transcended reincarnation?
Even if the time flow rate of the Cosmic Sea and the Origin Continent differs by a factor of ten thousand, while the Origin Continent has experienced more than ten epochs (more than 10 billion days), the Cosmic Sea has only experienced more than 10 billion epochs.

A short while later, a large number of powerful beings from the Cosmic Sea gathered outside Yu Duan's small universe.

"It's started, it's started!"

"What scale will the Alliance Leader's miniature universe reach this time?"

"..."

Just as many people were discussing this, Yu Duan's divine power avatar appeared.

"eternal!"

"teacher!"

"I've met the leader!"

Many true gods and lords of the universe hurriedly spoke up, and those who were to pay their respects did so.

A blue stone mountain peak approached and couldn't help but ask, "Eternal, you've broken through to the Chaos level?"

Yu Duan smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, I have just fully comprehended the complete laws of chaos. This transformation of the small universe should reach a scale of trillions of light-years."

Trillions of light-years!?
Many true gods and cosmic rulers were shocked and speechless.

After this breakthrough, not only did Yu Duan's miniature universe become larger, but it also became capable of supporting more human life.

What is even more important to human powerhouses like Luo Feng is Yu Duan's original plane, which will transform into a chaotic space, where tangible chaotic laws will condense.

This is equivalent to creating another chaotic ruin in the cosmic sea, which is an extremely rare opportunity for these cosmic lords and true gods.

However, the chaotic origin space of Yu Duan is not something that everyone can comprehend.

As for the detailed rules and opportunities for enlightenment, those can be studied by the Chaos God.

“Yuan Zu and Luo Feng can comprehend it at will, so their progress should be faster.”

The original ancestor needs no further explanation; in just over a hundred epochs, he cultivated himself from an eternal true god to a god-king.

Luo Feng has amazing potential. Although the butterfly effect brought about by Yu Duan has reduced the pressure on Luo Feng, his growth rate has slowed down a bit.

However, as Yu Duan grows stronger, Luo Feng will indirectly gain even more benefits.
