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

Chapter 4 The Realm of Light
"call out!"

A brilliant white light appeared on Yu Duan's body, and he seemed to become a blur, flickering in the gravity chamber.

Activating the Leap of Dawn technique, the leg force instantly increased by 7 times, allowing Yu Duan's speed amplitude to reach more than 3 times. Combined with his 'Light Transformation' talent, his speed increased significantly again.

Normally, the running speed of a planetary-level expert is about 1 kilometer per second, but Yu Duan, who is fully activating his movement technique, can easily exceed 5 kilometers per second.

Of course, under a gravitational load 500 times that of a star, it would be impossible to reach that speed.

"The movement technique at the level of harmony between man and nature only slightly increases speed, but greatly improves agility and significantly reduces energy consumption!"

The dazzling light of dawn swirled around the end, and as the figure flickered, it seemed to truly transform into the morning light that pierced through the darkness, moving and shifting within the gravity chamber.

A moment later, a light sheen of sweat appeared on Yu Duan's forehead.

The energy expenditure of using one's full movement technique is already high, and with the added burden of the gravity chamber's 500 times the gravitational pull of the light source star, the energy expenditure increases by more than 500 times.

"Looks like the gravity chamber won't be needed anymore, I still need to work on my progress..."

As Yu Duan sensed the changes within himself, he naturally channeled his consciousness into the Book of Cause and Effect, and immediately noticed something was amiss.

On the Book of Cause and Effect, all other characters disappeared, leaving only one line of ancient characters: Paying the price, fully activating the movement technique [Leap of Glow] to move more than 100 million kilometers, current progress: 294.7 kilometers.

In the tiny gravity chamber, Yu Duan used all his strength to maneuver and dodge dozens of times, covering a distance of just over 20 kilometers.

"Does the actual repayment efficiency vary depending on the circumstances?"

Yu Duan immediately began the experiment, using his full movement skills while keeping a close eye on the progress of repayment on the Book of Cause and Effect.

About a minute later, Yu Duan determined the change in efficiency. Under the current gravity environment, using his full strength to move 1 kilometer was roughly equivalent to 12 kilometers under the normal gravity of the Light Source Star.

"The gravity chamber does consume energy quickly and requires more rest time. Even if the actual efficiency is not 12 times higher, it will certainly be significantly improved."

Yu Duan's eyes suddenly changed, much like when you're playing a game and you notice that the BOSS's health bar has suddenly shortened considerably.

There's not much to say, just focus on your liver.

"Number One, I need to undergo rigorous training in the gravity chamber. Prepare food and energy supplements for me according to my physical condition and physiological needs."

As soon as Yu Duan finished speaking, the intelligent assistant's voice sounded: "Okay, the request from Duan Tianren has been recorded."

……

In the blink of an eye, nearly 10 days have passed.

Inside the spaceship's main control room, Master Zhenli, along with Kunzhu and Shenjian, were discussing what identities they should use to make contact with the cosmic civilization.

However, no agreement has been reached in the short term.

Shen Jian raised his right hand and used his quantum computer to casually check on Yu Duan, who was still diligently cultivating in the gravity chamber.

"It's been 10 days, and Yu Duan is still training hard... No wonder he can possess the level of artistic conception in movement and combat skills."

Shenjian's tone was no longer as gentle as before; instead, it was somewhat wistful.

To become a strong person, talent is only a basic requirement; willpower and hard work are also indispensable factors.

Master Zhenli's aged voice rang out: "Indeed, Yu Duan's comprehension is stronger than yours and mine. Only Kunzhu possesses the level of enlightenment."

Unlike the terrifying level of understanding among Earthlings.

Among the apprentice-level Earthlings, there have been more than one geniuses with a level of understanding of artistic conception.

The people of Light Source Star are already at the first level of Apprentice upon adulthood, and their physical talents are actually much stronger than those of Earthlings. However, apart from Yu Duan, only Kun Zhu on the entire planet possesses the level of enlightenment.

“Yu Duan’s understanding of the artistic conception is deeper than mine, and his every move seems to be more in harmony with nature?” Kun Zhu did not know about the so-called unity of man and nature.

After all, according to common sense in the universe, the realms of combat skills and secret techniques are divided into four levels: foundation, realm, domain, and world. There is no such thing as the unity of heaven and man.

But Kunzhu could sense that when Yu Duan practiced his movements, the rhythm and artistic conception were more unique, but he didn't know how to describe it.

At this moment, inside the gravity chamber.

Yu Duan's figure moved swiftly through the high-gravity environment, creating fleeting afterimages accompanied by the dazzling light emitted by his light abilities.

"Finally finished the progress bar."

Yu Duan was panting heavily, seemingly resting, but his consciousness had entered the space inside his body.

The ancient characters on the Book of Cause and Effect changed again.

【Dawn Realm】A realm of light, at the level of harmony between humanity and nature. One can gain an advance understanding of 'one level of light realm,' but the price is 10 hours of basking in sunlight.

【Dawn Blade】A self-created martial art, level: Harmony of Heaven and Man. It can be used in advance with 'insignificant' level domain application skills, the price to pay is: to perform a full-force strike of the blade technique 100 million times.

【Leap of Dawn】A self-created martial art, level: Harmony of Heaven and Man. It can be used in advance at the 'low-level' level, with the cost being: using the movement technique to travel 100 million kilometers at full speed.

【Dawn Force】A self-created power-generating technique. Level: 7x power, can be pre-emptively used for 8x power. Cost: Can be used up to 8000 times.

"Domain application skills? It seems that from the domain level onwards, understanding and skills can no longer be improved simultaneously."

As a transmigrator, Yu Duan naturally understood that profound mastery of domains and laws, as well as the application of domains and laws, were key factors in determining combat power.

The so-called secret techniques are actually about comprehending and applying skills, and they are divided into five levels: novice, ordinary, top, peak, and ultimate.

"In the early stages, what's most important to me is improving my domain and laws. As for using techniques, I'll put that aside for now."

Ever since Yu Duan confirmed the background of the world he was in, he has been eager to integrate into the universe.

Much information is unavailable, especially regarding the timeline. What period am I currently in? Has Luo Feng risen to prominence?

"A pre-emptive exploration of the 'First Layer of Light Domain'!"

Boom!

It was as if a great bell was ringing in Yu Duan's ears, making his consciousness blur in waves.

A surge of profound emotion welled up in Yu Duan's heart. At this moment, Yu Duan felt as if he had transformed into a darling of light and stars, bathing in the corona of the stars, wandering and playing within it, and being one with the source of light.

As insights flooded into his consciousness, Yu Duan's aura also changed accordingly.

The body, the Force, the will, and the soul enter into a state of great harmony, as if they have completely merged into one.

Moreover, this state of great harmony seems to echo the external nature and universe, and even different forces are merging to form a brand new force field.

"Wow!"

A hazy, dreamlike white field spread outwards from Yu Duan in all directions.

The hazy, misty white light shimmered slightly, as if echoing the countless stars in the vast night sky, beautiful and dreamlike.

The hazy light reflected off Yu Duan's figure, making him appear and disappear like a divine realm from mythology manifesting in the human world.

"This is the realm... What a wonderful resonance."

Yu Duan felt his influence on the space and the surrounding environment. The light within the area covered by his domain bent and flickered according to his own will.
