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

Chapter 273 Comprehending All Branches of the Boundless Great Dao

"Buzz!"

In the ancient courtyard, Yu Duan opened his eyes, a radiant spiritual light emanating from him.

"The Reincarnation Fruit is ineffective... So, my level of will has barely reached the threshold of the ultimate realm."

Yu Duan looked at the Reincarnation Fruit in his hand, and then put it away.

This Reincarnation Fruit is definitely a rare treasure. Even if it only has miraculous effects on those below the Ultimate Realm, its value is hard to estimate.

When Senior Sister Fengdu consumed more than three thousand Reincarnation Fruits, her will broke through to the ultimate realm, much to the delight of Ancestor Fengxi.

Yu Duan, however, only consumed nearly two thousand pills, which is even more astonishing.

In fact, after consuming the first Reincarnation Fruit and undergoing the baptism of endless reincarnation, Yu Duan's will broke through to the second level of the God King realm.

Such an incredible effect can only be described as miraculous.

However, after one's will breaks through to the second level of the God King realm, the effect of this Reincarnation Fruit is greatly reduced.

Yu Duan consumed more than ten pills, and his mind and will were cleansed countless times in endless reincarnation before finally reaching the limit of the second realm.

The remaining 1,900-plus Reincarnation Fruits were merely to allow Yu Duan to take the final step beyond the limits of the second level of his will and reach the threshold of the ultimate realm.

"If you want to strengthen your will again, the only way is through slow and steady training."

After overcoming the bottleneck, with the spiritual attainments honed through endless cycles of reincarnation, it's not too difficult to reach the pinnacle of willpower through patient, gradual refinement.

"This level of willpower should be enough for a short period of time."

With a thought, Yu Duan's dormant true self, which had been in the cultivation universe, was revived.

In the endless, majestic starry sky, billions of galaxies revolve around a towering humanoid celestial body.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, the humanoid celestial body opened its eyes, its gaze shining brightly like two waterfalls of light that pierced through the entire universe.

"Clone, solidify!"

With a thought, Yu Duan unleashed a surge of immense divine power, creating an even more powerful clone.

Finally, after consuming about 30% of his divine power, Yu Duan realized that his mental burden had reached a threshold.

"About 1.5 times the divine power of a perfect divine body is just the limit without affecting agility and the execution of moves."

Yu Duan cultivated the Boundless Chaos Body, refining his divine power time and time again. The total amount of divine power was about five times that of a perfect divine body that had not cultivated any body-refining techniques.

This main battle clone possesses 1.5 times the divine power of a perfect divine body, which is exactly 30% of the main body's total divine power.

"My willpower needs to be further strengthened, otherwise, as I consume more treasures and create stronger body-refining techniques, my mental willpower will become too weak."

This can't be rushed; it takes time and practice.

"The weakness in willpower has been initially compensated for."

"Next is to create cultivation techniques and continue grinding the progress bar."

Yu Duan flipped his hand and took out a large number of treasures, including Hunyuan Crystal Fruit, Qingxin Spirit Liquid, Hunyuan Crystal, and Qiongji Holy Medicine.

"Boom!"

All sorts of rare treasures were swallowed by Yu Duan's true form, and then transformed into endless strange substances, spreading out and merging into the physical body, soul, and mind.

In an instant, Yu Duan's thinking speed, comprehension, and affinity with the Boundless Great Dao all increased dramatically.

"Boundless Eyes, manifest!"

hum!
On Yu Duan's true form, the vertical pupil between his brows slowly opened, like a blazing star emerging.

The Boundless Eyes were activated to their fullest potential, and the Boundless Origin Dao appeared in Yu Duan's vision with crystal clarity, as if it were right in front of him, within reach.

The endless golden strings spread and expanded, infinitely subdividing... sometimes outlining an endless and majestic world tree, sometimes evolving into the resonance of billions of divine flames.

The six branches of the Great Dao—unity, myriad transformations, resonance, infinity, evolution, and convergence—and the endless phenomena are all observed at the end.

Unlike before, when his will was weak and he was unable to face the complete and original Dao for a long time.

The ultimate realm will should correspond to the ultimate level of the Great Dao, and facing and comprehending the complete original Great Dao again will be almost without any burden.

Even Duan can freely activate the Boundless Eyes to observe different phenomena from different angles, verifying the explanations and records of the Boundless Great Dao in the "Boundless Chaos Body".

A great deal of insight comes from the collision of ideas within one's own heart.

With the blessing of various treasures, endless spiritual light shimmered, making Yu Duan's understanding of the 'Myriad Transformations' lineage even more profound.

The Guiyi and Wanhua lineages are complementary lineages within the boundless Great Dao.

One is the unification of all energies, and the other is the transformation of one into many.

The fourth layer of the boundless chaotic body is called the Chaotic Unity Form, which contains the mysteries of the 'Unity' branch.

The fifth layer of the Boundless Chaos Body contains the mysteries of the two major branches of 'Return to One' and 'Myriad Transformations', and is called the Yin-Yang Wuji Form.

"Om-"

Endless chaotic energy descended from the end of his body, then spread and transformed into boundless energy.

It could be the cycle of earth, water, wind, and fire; or the mutual generation and transformation of the five elements; or the cycle of yin and yang, life and death...

As Yu Duan's understanding of the Boundless Primordial Dao deepened, he became increasingly adept at controlling all kinds of energy, revealing the profound mysteries of the Boundless Dao.

In the blink of an eye, about three centuries had passed.

As Yu Duan's heart trembled, a sense of excitement welled up within him.

The progress bar for the fourth level of the Boundless Chaos Body, which was initially pre-borrowed, has been successfully repaid.

"It's much faster than I expected."

Yu Duan came to his senses and immediately understood why it had happened so quickly.

It is precisely because Yu Duan's will has become so much stronger that he no longer feels any burden when facing the Great Dao of Origin. Studying a particular branch of the Great Dao is even easier for him.

[Boundless Chaos Body: Late Stage of the Fourth Level, capable of gaining insights into the 'Late Stage of the Fifth Level' in advance, requiring 32 epochs of studying the Boundless Primordial Dao.]

A surge of information also entered the consciousness level of the end.

This period of 32 centuries may seem short, but it is calculated based on the current state of Yu Duan, which is blessed by various rare treasures.

Without the blessing of treasures such as the Cleansing Spirit Elixir, the Primordial Crystal, and the Ultimate Elixir, this time would have been far more than thirty centuries.

The only factor not included in the Book of Cause and Effect is facing the fundamental Dao.

"I still have many treasures such as the Cleansing Spirit Liquid and the Primordial Crystal, enough for me to cultivate for hundreds of epochs, but I only have six portions of the Ultimate Sacred Medicine left, which can only last for six epochs."

The value of the ultimate holy medicine is far less than that of the Cleansing Spirit Liquid and the Chaotic Origin Crystal, but the problem is that Yu Duan has to get this stuff himself.

"Let's check how long it actually takes to complete the fifth level of the game."

With a thought, Yu Duan directly drew upon his understanding of the fifth level of the Boundless Chaos Body.

Boom!

In an instant, Yu Duan's consciousness was aroused and transformed into a strange celestial body.

Within this strange celestial body, countless worlds are in motion.

These worlds sometimes collapse, becoming singularities, and sometimes explode, forming the foundation of the universe and creating a new universe.

This cycle seems to perfectly illustrate the profound meaning of simplifying complexity and complicating simplicity.

……

A moment later, Yu Duan opened his eyes and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Good, good, divine body, reshape!"

With a thought, Yu Duan's divine power structure began to re-evolve, evolving from a state of chaos and unity into a state of yin and yang combination.

During this process, a large amount of divine power condensed and collapsed, and the divine body shrank by one size.

The total amount of divine power did not increase, but the intensity of divine power greatly increased. "Boom!"

Within the world of the Heart of the True God, a vast amount of divine power surged forth.

That was the home universe sea, where a miniature universe was frantically absorbing chaotic energy and transforming it into a large amount of divine power to replenish its own consumption.

Soon, Yu Duan's divine body returned to its peak level.

After all, the miniature universe is in the cosmic sea, and the time flow rate in the cosmic sea is ten thousand times that of the origin continent. If the miniature universe condenses ten thousand seconds of divine power, only one second will pass in the origin continent.

This is equivalent to increasing the speed of divine power condensation by ten thousand times, making the divine power recovery speed of all the powerful beings who have transcended reincarnation ten thousand times faster than that of the beings born on the Origin Continent.

If one is willing to pay the price of the very origin of the universe, this speed can be increased ten thousand times again.

"Buzz!"

After Yu Duan's divine body returned to its peak state before the transformation, it continued to expand and grow.

Once one reaches the level of an infinite divine body with 9 times the genetic potential, the size of the divine body can actually be infinitely large.

However, the larger the divine body, the greater the spacetime pressure it endures. Once the divine power can no longer withstand the spacetime pressure, it can no longer be improved.

Conversely, as long as the strength of divine power increases, the divine body can continue to expand.

The entire process lasted for about half a century. Yu Duan's divine body finally reached its limit and could no longer grow under the pressure of time and space.

"Is growing up over?"

Yu Duan felt that his current divine body had doubled in total divine power, making it about 10 times that of a perfect divine body that had not cultivated any body-refining techniques.

A simple, boundless chaotic body would actually be insufficient to make Yu Duan's divine body so strong.

Another reason is the enhancement of the physical body and divine power by treasures like the Hunyuan Crystal.

Theoretically speaking, given enough time and Hunyuan Crystal, any living being can grow their physical body and soul to the level of a God Emperor at the Great Perfection.

However, the time required and the number of Chaos Origin Crystals needed are numbers that drive countless God Emperors to despair.

"That's right, the stronger I am, the better. Even if my mental will can't keep up, it doesn't matter. At least I'll be harder to kill."

Yu Duan focused his attention and glanced at the progress bar of the Book of Cause and Effect again.

[Repaying the advance cost, requiring 32 epochs of time to study the Boundless Origin Great Dao: Current progress 4.1 epochs...]

When facing the fundamental Dao, half an era can be completed in about four eras.

So before the six portions of the Ultimate Elixir are exhausted, Yu Duan can still fill the progress bar this time and pre-exploit the sixth level of the Boundless Chaos Body, the Formless and Limitless Form.

The sixth level of the Boundless Chaos Body is a formless and limitless form that encompasses the complete six branches of the Boundless Primordial Dao.

The next step is the merging of the branches of the Great Dao, leading to the realization of reaching the second level of the God King realm.

"Understanding the six major branches is enough. As for the rest of the integration, I will figure it out myself over time."

After mastering the six branches of the Boundless Great Dao, Yu Duan planned to begin researching other fundamental Great Daos.

Given limited choices, the fundamental principles of the world and the fundamental principles of life are the most important.

With the two great opportunities of the Primordial Universe and the Origin Realm Symbol, both paths can directly confront the complete Great Dao, allowing for the fastest comprehension.

……

Time passes silently, day and night turn in turn.

In the blink of an eye, more than six centuries had passed.

In the center of the ancient courtyard, Yu Duan's main battle avatar sat cross-legged, his figure appearing as ordinary as a mortal.

If a super being were to investigate Yu Duan, they would discover that every drop of Yu Duan's blood and every wisp of divine power resembled an infinitely large energy cluster.

Within it, one can see countless secret patterns of chaotic laws intertwining and evolving, illustrating the profound mysteries of the six branches of the boundless Great Dao, each clearly distinct from the others.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, a peculiar fluctuation dissipated from Yu Duan's body.

Yu Duan finally opened his eyes and said with some regret, "The last dose of the Ultimate Elixir has been used up."

Since becoming a disciple, Yu Duan has had access to various resources for hundreds of centuries, except for the Ultimate Elixir, which can only last for ten centuries.

Over these ten eras, Yu Duan spent more than 20 million days cultivating the fourth level of the Boundless Chaos Body, thus becoming a God-King.

It took more than three centuries to gain the insights of the fifth level of the Boundless Chaos Body.

In the remaining six epochs, Yu Duan spent four epochs to fully accumulate the cost of the fifth level of enlightenment, and then used the Book of Cause and Effect again to pre-explore the sixth level, the enlightenment of the formless and limitless form.

For the remaining several centuries, Yu Duan devoted himself to researching the fusion of the Boundless Origin Great Dao and repaying the pre-paid price, but it still required far too much time.

[Paying off the advance cost, the sixth level of payment for the Boundless Chaos Body, researching the Boundless Origin Great Dao for 96 epochs, current progress: 21.4 epochs...]

"Next, I need to select the ultimate inheritance of the Great Dao of the World's Origin, and then try to obtain some treasures similar to the Ultimate Elixir to improve the compatibility with the Boundless Great Dao and fill the progress bar of these 96 eras."

With a thought, Yu Duan transformed into a brilliant stream of light, rising from the mottled ancient courtyard and instantly traversing a long distance to reach Fengdu.

This is the power of "Nine Heavens Escape".

The Nine Heavens Escape is only a method for the first level of the God King realm, and it requires mastering the 'Resonance' branch, one of the six major branches of the Boundless Origin Great Dao.

This teleportation technique can resonate and teleport through any kind of energy fluctuation, such as time fluctuations, space fluctuations, or flame fluctuations.

It sounds impressive, but in reality, any escape technique that contains the 'resonance' branch of the boundless Great Dao can achieve this.

The magnificent capital city was shrouded in an array, preventing Yu Duan from teleporting directly inside. Therefore, his figure could only appear outside the capital.

"Junior brother has finally emerged from seclusion."

The moment Yu Duan's figure appeared, a gentle voice rang in Yu Duan's ear.

A smile appeared on Yu Duan's face as he looked towards the location of the Fengdu Royal Palace. Then, he took a step forward, and his figure moved along the spatial fluctuations, instantly teleporting into the palace.

"Greetings, Senior Sister Fengdu."

Yu Duan bowed to the woman in the blue dress.

Empress Fengdu nodded and looked at Yu Duan, but she couldn't quite see through him.

Could it be that in less than ten epochs, Junior Brother's strength has increased dramatically again?
“My junior brother has been in seclusion, and I have not disturbed him.”

As she spoke, the Empress of Fengdu flipped her right hand and took out a token: "This is the token of the Infinite Space."

"Infinite space is a world of the mind, containing countless mental beings, and it has a remarkable effect on tempering one's will."

Infinite space is just an ordinary treasure trove.

For ordinary god-kings, the opportunity to enter the infinite space is naturally extremely precious.

However, for someone of Duan's status, such a precious land quota was only considered ordinary. Therefore, the Empress of Fengdu did not disturb Duan's cultivation. It would have been the same if the quota had been given to Duan after he came out of seclusion.

“Senior sister, I have already mastered the six branches of the Boundless Origin Great Dao, and it will be difficult to make significant progress in a short period of time. Therefore, I plan to choose a World Origin Great Dao to inherit.”

As soon as Yu Duan finished speaking, the gentle smile on the face of the Empress of Fengdu froze, and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

"Junior brother? You mean you spent ten epochs mastering the six branches of the Boundless Great Dao?"

Yu Duan humbly replied, "Yes, the teacher gave me so many resources, I certainly couldn't waste them. I've been studying diligently, and I've naturally mastered them without encountering any bottlenecks."

The "Natural" technique reappeared on the Origin Continent, causing the Empress of Fengdu to completely lose her composure.

Who is the Empress of Fengdu? She is able to rival the Emperor at the second level of the God King realm. She has no weaknesses in any aspect, and her mental state and will are extremely high.

Even so, this unparalleled empress still lost her composure.

Ten centuries?

In the blink of an eye, it takes less than two epochs to comprehend a branch of the Great Dao.

Not to mention the Empress of Fengdu, even the progenitor of Fengxi had never seen such a genius.
Unless... his junior brother is a reincarnated being.
