Swallowing the Stars: I Have a Primordial Dao Seed

A strange power spread from his sea of ​​consciousness, instantly permeating Zhou Yuan's entire body. His primal force and spiritual power were forcibly mobilized by this power, rapidly circulating within his body along the routes guided by the secret rune structure. Zhou Yuan even lost control of his body.

A warm feeling rose from his body, as if countless invisible hands were gently massaging every inch of his skin, every bone, and every cell, making him feel incredibly comfortable.

The nutrient solution in the nutrient tank was decreasing at a visible rate, and a large amount of life energy and primal force was being rapidly absorbed by Zhou Yuan's body, providing a continuous source of energy for his physical transformation. Time passed second by second, and Zhou Yuan's body began to undergo astonishing changes; his height was slowly increasing, and his genes were continuously being optimized.

When Zhou Yuan's height increased tenfold, his entire body was suddenly enveloped in a dazzling golden light. The golden light, almost tangible, continuously washed over his body, altering his genetic sequence.

Zhou Yuan could clearly feel that the genes in his body were being changed, from sixty times to sixty-one times, and then to sixty-two times. The gene level kept increasing, and each increase made his power even stronger.

After an unknown amount of time, the golden light finally dissipated, revealing Zhou Yuan's powerful body. His height had reached 200 meters, and his gene level had reached 120 times. Zhou Yuan did not get up immediately, but quietly felt the enhancement in his body.

"Three hundred years of accumulation have finally paid off." Zhou Yuan looked at his enormous palm, a smile appearing on his face. The second level of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique not only increased his physical strength and primal force reserves tenfold, but also made his mental power more refined. Although he already knew the effects of this successful cultivation, Zhou Yuan was still deeply shocked.

"Time to pack up and get ready to leave." Zhou Yuan used the Thousand Transformations Secret Technique to shrink his body to normal size, flew out of the nutrient tank, and began to inventory his supplies. The Cosmic Strongest Battle was still hundreds of years away, and he planned to go to the Cloud Rock Secret Realm one more time.

Without further ado, Zhou Yuan, whose net worth had skyrocketed, naturally needed to upgrade his equipment. He first sold his two spaceships and then bought several new X981 D9-class spaceships.

Then came the equipment: a Tier 5 Sky-Suppressing Blade and a Tier 5 Force Armor. I also bought some readily usable recovery potions and returned the rented nutrient tank in the meantime.

After making preparations, Zhou Yuan piloted his spaceship out of Nanyun Star and headed towards the Yunyan Secret Realm. The X981 spaceship's dark universe travel speed was five times faster than his previous spaceships, and the journey to the Yunyan Secret Realm would only take a little over three months. This time was perfect for familiarizing himself with his newly purchased Zhenkong Blade.

Every weapon has its own unique runes, whether it's a Force weapon or a psychic weapon. By activating the runes within a weapon, one can amplify their own strength. However, the activation of a weapon is conditional. Psychic weapons require a surge of mental energy, and then the method of activating the runes is also needed to achieve the amplification effect.

Similarly, Force weapons each have their own unique methods of activation, which are used to amplify the weapon's attack power through runes.

Sitting in the core of the spaceship, Zhou Yuan placed the Zhenkong Blade in front of him and used his mental power to continuously sense it. His body began to change, gradually taking the shape of the Zhenkong Blade.

This is Zhou Yuan's special way of comprehending the laws and secret patterns of the Zhenkong Blade. When Zhou Yuan can clearly see the structure of the secret patterns, combined with the method of controlling the secret patterns obtained from purchasing weapons, he can naturally quickly master the method of activating the weapon's secret patterns by relying on his familiarity with the secret patterns.

Soon, Zhou Yuan felt he had completely mastered the Zhenkong Blade and it was time to test its effects. He decisively logged into the virtual universe, entered the killing arena, and began battling against virtual opponents.

The killing arena hall in the virtual universe is still bustling with people, with hundreds of millions of cultivators seeking opportunities to improve their strength.

Zhou Yuan walked straight to the end of the corridor and entered the private battle space. He said to the intelligent assistant, "Beibei, apply for a level nine opponent from the universe. The Earth Origin Law must be recognized, the Space Origin Law threshold must be met, and the fifth-order Suppressing Sky Blade must be used."

"Yes, Master!" Beibei responded immediately. "Matching you with an opponent... Match successful. Opponent is a level nine cosmic being, acknowledged by the Earth Origin Law, at the threshold of the Space Origin Law, and wielding a fifth-tier Void Suppression Blade. The battle environment is set as a C-level super-large planet."

Soon, the killing space began to change, and Zhou Yuan's consciousness appeared on the surface of a desolate planet. Beneath his feet was cracked earth, in the distance were continuous mountain ranges, and the sky was filled with dark red clouds, adding a touch of grimness to the entire world.

In the distance, a virtual opponent, three meters tall, stood in the wasteland. The virtual opponent wore a heavy Force armor, held a Zhenkong Blade identical to Zhou Yuan's, and emanated a stable and powerful fluctuation of the Earth Origin Law.

The virtual opponent made no unnecessary movements, stomping its foot hard on the ground and shooting towards Zhou Yuan like an arrow. Its Zhenkong Blade, accompanied by a whistling sound, unleashed a blade of energy imbued with the fundamental laws of earth, aimed directly at Zhou Yuan's throat. This strike was incredibly fast, its trajectory precise, perfectly matching the characteristics of the Zhenkong Blade's runes.

Zhou Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he immediately realized the gap between himself and his opponent. Although he had mastered the method of activating the secret runes of the Zhenkong Blade, his actual application was far less proficient than that of his virtual opponent. He quickly raised the Zhenkong Blade to defend himself, while simultaneously activating the secret runes within the blade with all his might.

"Bang!" The two blades of energy collided, producing a deafening roar that cleaved a huge crack in the earth. Zhou Yuan felt an immense force emanating from the blade, causing him to involuntarily retreat, while his virtual opponent stood motionless, clearly possessing power far exceeding his own.

The virtual opponent gave Zhou Yuan no chance to breathe. In a flash, he reappeared in front of Zhou Yuan and slashed out with the Zhenkong Blade at an incredible angle. The secret patterns on the blade perfectly matched the fundamental law of earth. Every slash was aimed precisely at Zhou Yuan's weakness.

While Zhou Yuan was defending with all his might, he carefully observed every movement of his virtual opponent. He found that when the virtual opponent activated the Zhenkong Blade, the rhythm of the force output was completely synchronized with the frequency of the secret runes. Moreover, the transitions between the slashing, blocking, and thrusting movements were extremely smooth, with no unnecessary waste of power.

"So that's how it is. I only activated the secret runes before, but I didn't perfectly combine the power of the secret runes with my own moves." Zhou Yuan thought to himself, and began to try to imitate the movements of the virtual opponent.

Time slipped away unnoticed during the battle. Zhou Yuan's body was covered in wounds, but his eyes grew brighter and brighter. He discovered that every attack from his virtual opponent perfectly combined the secret runes of the Zhenkong Blade with his own laws and techniques, maximizing the power of the runes.

Previously, he had simply activated the runes without adjusting his fighting style according to their characteristics. This not only wasted his primal force, but also prevented his own laws from aligning with the runes of the Sky-Suppressing Blade, thus failing to unleash the Blade's full potential.
