High Martial Arts: Gains one point of health per second, sweeping across the heavens.

The light of the soul's origin and the ashes of the body's essence were all drawn in by that suction force, flowing into Su Jie's body like rivers flowing into the sea.

……

The moment the membrane was removed from the place of suppression, the remaining fifteen pseudo-eternals simultaneously opened their eyes.

They sensed that the transparent membranes on their twenty companions shattered at the same instant.

Their bodies turned to dust at the same time, and then, as if drawn by something, surged toward a certain direction in the void.

A moment later, all the fragments vanished completely. The void returned to its deathly silence, as if the twenty pseudo-eternals had never existed.

The remaining fifteen pseudo-eternals stood frozen in place, their minds blank.

They didn't know what had happened. Why did that membrane suddenly shatter? Had the will of the Tianyuan Universe given up? But the membranes on their bodies remained intact.

If it couldn't hold on, all thirty-five should shatter simultaneously, not just twenty.

Did that eternal being devour them? What fate awaits them?

……

The eternal single eye stared intently at the suppressed land, its dark golden vertical pupil filled with confusion.

He sensed that twenty auras that He had suppressed for over a hundred epochs had vanished in an instant, leaving not a trace.

He had just noticed that the power of the Heavenly Origin Universe on those twenty pseudo-eternals had suddenly disappeared. With their protection gone, His suppressive power directly crushed them into powder.

This was caused by His power, which was not unexpected to Him, but why did those primordial cosmic forces suddenly disappear?

What puzzled Him even more were the fragments.

The remaining glimmers of light after the soul dissipates, and the ashes of the body, should drift in this void, slowly worn away by His eternal power, or simply devoured by Him.

But He didn't absorb any energy; before He could even think of anything, the fragments disappeared.

The eternal single eye slowly turned, sweeping across the void.

Once, twice, three times.

There were no living beings, no energy fluctuations, and nothing that could be perceived.

He couldn't understand what could possibly steal those fragments right under His nose, from His suppressive power.

A hint of unease flickered in his single eye.

……

Su Jie had just swallowed the twenty fragments of pseudo-eternity into his body when he sensed something was wrong.

The primordial power that surged into the nascent universe was too immense. Unlike the gentle trickle that had previously devoured those supreme undead creatures, it was like a flood bursting its banks, pouring in wildly.

Even though the twenty pseudo-eternals had been suppressed for over a hundred epochs, the primal power within them was astronomical due to the protection of the primal power of the universe.

The [Soul Devouring - All Spirits Return to Origin] talent transformed, compressed, and fed back all this energy, stuffing it all into his primordial universe prototype.

However, his original universe was only at the fifth level, which was simply not enough to bear so much eternal primordial power.

It's like a pool where the inlet pipe is suddenly turned on to its maximum, while the outlet pipe is pitifully thin, causing the water level to rise wildly and potentially burst the pool wall at any moment.

Su Jie's primordial universe was trembling violently, the three thousand Great Dao imprints on its surface were flickering, and the heart of the universe was beating erratically—a sign that the limit of its capacity was about to be broken.

If we continue to stubbornly persist, the nascent form will collapse completely.

However, the 【Soul Devouring - All Spirits Return to Origin】talent automatically triggered a feedback mechanism the moment it sensed that the host's body could not bear it.

The violent, eternal primordial power was transformed into the purest primordial energy, feeding back into the original primordial universe itself, forcibly elevating the primordial form's status.

Su Jie's primordial universe trembled violently, like a giant beast being forcibly fed, expanding from the inside out. The fifth-order barrier was like paper in the face of this torrent, shattering instantly.

The fifth-order barrier of the nascent universe, which originally required a great deal of time and the Supreme Origin Liquid to break through, was shattered.

The prototype of the sixth-order primordial universe had just taken shape, and that primordial power continued to flow in without any sign of weakening.

Then, the seventh-tier barrier also shattered.

Su Jie let out a muffled groan, his body suddenly tensing up in the void.

His primordial universe prototype completed the leap from the fifth to the seventh order in just a few breaths, expanding by a full ten thousand times.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the seventh-tier Invincible Supreme! Current base combat strength: 1 trillion cosmic power!]

When Su Jie's basic combat power reached one trillion cosmic forces, the upper limit of his nascent universe was forcibly expanded.

Those eternal origins that would have shattered the prototype were ultimately transformed into the foundation of the [Soul Devouring - All Spirits Return to Origin] talent.

[Ding! Soul Devouring - Return to Origin has been triggered. Absorbing a large amount of primal power, your base combat strength has been permanently increased by 1 trillion cosmic power.]

Su Jie frowned as he looked at the line of text on the system panel.

"System, something's not right?"

"The basic combat power of a pseudo-eternal being is ten trillion cosmic power, so twenty would be two hundred trillion cosmic power. Even if my talent only allows me to absorb ten percent, that should still be twenty trillion cosmic power. How come it's only one trillion? That's a difference of twenty times."

The system responded quickly.

[Host, your calculations are based on an ideal scenario. However, the energy within the pseudo-eternal being is the "source of eternity," not cosmic energy that you can directly absorb. When you absorb it, there will be additional losses during the conversion process.]

The most crucial point is that your original universe prototype went directly from the fifth level to the seventh level. Don't you have any idea how much energy was consumed in the process?

The energy used to nourish the nascent stages was all converted from the origins of those twenty pseudo-eternals.

Su Jie thought about it and realized that it did seem to be true.

So, it's not that you didn't absorb enough of your talent; it's that the energy was used to lay a solid foundation for you. Once the foundation is stable, the remaining energy will then be used to enhance your combat power.

With a base bonus of one trillion units of cosmic power, plus your current foundation as a seventh-tier invincible supreme being, what more do you want?

[And host, do you even realize how ridiculously fast you're getting stronger?]

Su Jie was taken aback for a moment. "Is it alright?"

"Not bad? You call this not bad?" The system's voice rose a few decibels.

[You've transformed directly from the fifth to the seventh tier in the nascent stage of the universe! You should know that even among the geniuses of the Primordial Continent, most of them need at least several hundred or a thousand epochs to achieve this.]

And your [Soul Devouring - All Spirits Return to Origin] talent, when you devoured those supreme-level undead creatures before, you gained a hundred or a thousand cosmic power each time, which I thought was quite balanced.

And then you went and swallowed twenty pseudo-eternals, gaining a trillion cosmic powers in one go.

Do you know what this means?
