Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 347

Countless sword techniques flashed through his mind, and meteor-like lights fell from above. At the same time, the patterns in the Mountain of Laws in front of him changed according to Lu Yunhe's will.

These three sword mountains are like the three oldest and most powerful sword masters who have reached the ultimate level in swordsmanship and are showing it to everyone without reservation, just waiting for Lu Yunhe to study them little by little and unveil their secrets by comparing them with himself.

During this research process, Lu Yunhe's swordsmanship improved rapidly.

From the Chaos Stele to the Beast God's Legacy, and then to the Law Patterns, the auxiliary treasures also progress in layers.

The Chaos Stele is suitable for Realm Lords and below, the Beast God Inheritance is suitable for Universe Venerables and Immortals, and the Law Runes are suitable for Universe Lords.

Once you reach the True God realm and possess a microcosm, you can refer to the operation of the microcosm when cultivating.

After layers of training, Lu Yunhe was quite adept at dealing with the Law Runes, quickly immersing himself in them and eagerly comprehending them.

As a top sect on the Origin Continent, they look down on those fifth-order universe lords.

Because of these law patterns, any universe master could easily create a fifth-order secret technique by spending some time studying it.

Even if a sixth-order secret technique is created at the level of the Lord of the Universe, it only has a slight value for cultivation.

For those universe lords in the primordial universe who had virtually no future, joining the Liuzhong Sect, simply by observing these law patterns, could greatly increase their chances of breaking through their limits and becoming true gods.

"Gold, Fire, Water, Space!"

Lu Yunhe had long since mastered all ten fundamental laws, and even created a perfect fifth-order secret technique for each of them.

As for the seventh-order secret technique, Lu Yunhe had already made some deductions. It was the path of law fusion, which involved fusing the three major laws of metal, fire, and water with the law of space as the foundation.

The stars in the sky above also provide valuable insights for Lu Yunhe regarding this route.

Year after year passed. With the help of the Time Palace of the Eternal Sky Ark, Lu Yunhe continued to accelerate ten thousand times, absorbing the knowledge of the Sword Codex while finding corresponding references in the Law Patterns.

"Gold represents extreme sharpness, and fire represents extreme explosiveness. Both are too rigid and easily break, so they need water to neutralize them."

Countless inspirations surged into his mind, captivating Lu Yunhe and immersing him completely.

Gold is forged in fire, and fire burns in water. Adding water to the metal being forged is not to suppress either element; on the contrary, it makes the metal more resilient and the flames more powerful.

The four elements of metal, fire, and water, when combined, constitute the Dao; and to project this understanding and power outward is the Dharma.

Having spent tens of thousands of years (time accelerated) cultivating the Dao of the seventh-order secret technique, Lu Yunhe had already understood it. The next step was to find a way to unleash this power.

"The Runes of Law!"

Lu Yunhe took in the three sword mountains. The Law Runes were known as the ultimate secret manual, and their greatest advantage was that they could help people find the best way to attack.

For the Lord of the Universe or even the True God, all their actions and attack methods are within the evolution of the Law Runes.

Lu Yunhe pursued a single rune of law, a beam of light like a shooting star, sometimes soaring up, sometimes falling down, tracing perfect arcs, simple yet containing endless meaning.

Great simplicity!

It was clearly just a flow of light, yet it seemed to be the world's finest swordsmanship, sometimes as gentle as water, sometimes as steady as a mountain, sometimes as fierce as fire—it encompassed everything.

It is both simple and complex. The movement of light is simple, but as the light keeps jumping, it seems to outline an incredibly complex secret pattern.

A rune of law brought forth countless sword shadows, which perfectly merged to form this enormous rainbow... This rainbow was, in essence, a seemingly simple streak of light like a shooting star...

"The mysteries of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, light, lightning, time, space, metal void, wood void, fire void... and even water time, metal time... are countless, seemingly completely integrated, yet also partially integrated."

Lu Yunhe had a sudden realization, and quickly found what he was looking for in it.

Ultimate... ultimate... the ultimate in sharpness, the ultimate in explosiveness, the ultimate in smoothness...

Lu Yunhe gripped the silver Hua Sword and calmly swung it forward. In an instant, a sword light appeared, slicing through the space of the small world like a straight line.

The small world used to house the Law Runes also possesses astonishingly high spatial strength. Even attacks from ordinary True Gods cannot break through its space.

However, when Lu Yunhe slashed with his sword, a clear mark was left in the space that was imperceptible to the naked eye, resembling light and gold.

Although it was quickly repaired automatically by the space, it still retained a golden glow.

"Seventh-tier secret technique - Flowing Light and Sparkling Gold!"

A bright smile appeared on Lu Yunhe's face. The bottleneck that had troubled him for over 100,000 epochs had finally been broken.

Having created a seventh-order secret technique, his level of understanding of the laws truly rivals that of the strongest.

In the cosmic sea, most of the strongest beings are only at the seventh level of the Law Realm, with no generational gap whatsoever.

If he uses the right weapon, Lu Yunhe can also unleash the power of an eighth-level Universe Lord.

In the environment of the cosmic sea, his strength surpasses that of some of the strongest beings.

"And there's also divine power burning, and the mechanical treasure..."

Lu Yunhe calculated that if he unleashed his full power, he could even reach the tenth level, the realm of being invincible in the Cosmic Sea.

"I just don't know if I can actually kill one of the strongest beings in the universe." Lu Yunhe was somewhat eager to try.

This is the charm of the Origin Continent's heritage; there are so many ways to enhance one's strength.

If it were on the Origin Continent, it would be fine, because without the suppression of the primordial cosmic will, even true gods could fully unleash their corresponding power.

However, in the cosmic sea, the divine power of the true god was suppressed to a very low level, and he lived a very stifled life. In the primordial universe, he was suppressed even more severely.

Normally there's nothing wrong, but once a genius like Lu Yunhe appears, the original difficulties become dangerous.

After creating the seventh-order secret technique, Lu Yunhe did not rush to leave. He continued to refine his seventh-order secret technique by using the runes of law.

Even within the same level of secret techniques, there are differences in quality, but in many cases, it's unnecessary to go into such detail.

Just like fifth-tier secret techniques, there are differences such as the fusion of the strongest secret techniques, normal level five, and perfect fifth-tier techniques...

Besides his own secret techniques, Lu Yunhe also needed to observe the claw techniques and energy techniques from the neighboring sect to provide ideas for his other clones.

Furthermore, there are tens of thousands of sword secrets above, each with different laws and perspectives, which also need to be thoroughly understood to lay the groundwork for future creation of secret techniques.

A mere seventh-tier secret technique was not enough for him.

Moreover, the newly acquired Mechanical Flow Treasure needs to be used, and the Divine Power Burning Secret Technique also needs to be practiced.

Creating a seventh-order secret technique is just the beginning; there is still much to be done.

Lu Yunhe's main body was researching secret techniques, while his Ultraman clones were conforming to his original will. His Zetton and Softia clones were researching the genetic level, or perhaps they were also training their divine power burning techniques with the Divine Tree clones.

With their schedules packed full, all the clones were busy once again.

Chapter 381 Trial Tower

Unbeknownst to him, over a hundred years had passed. With the acceleration of time, Lu Yunhe had also cultivated for over a hundred epochs, and had finally absorbed most of the inheritance he had received this time.

Reaching the eighth level will take a long time.

"Once the secret technique reaches the eighth level, we can start thinking about breaking through."

Lu Yunhe pondered. Previously, due to insufficient talent, he had thought of letting the Jaden clone break through first, and then leading the other clones to break through to True God.

After all, those whose genetic level exceeds the perfect number can break through the Dao with force and directly break through to the True God level without needing to comprehend secret techniques.

Then, break through first, which will drive subsequent breakthroughs. After several chaotic transformations, dealing with the Beast of the Realm becomes much easier.

However, the increase in talent caused by the Eternal Evolution made Lu Yunhe much more ambitious. He planned to use these few chaotic evolutions to break through to the Chaos Dominator realm, and then seize the original universe to break through to the God King realm.

As for the Hunyuan Realm that follows, that is a truly insurmountable hurdle. Even knowing the plot doesn't significantly help with breaking through.

"Let's set a small goal first: break through to the God King realm!"

Lu Yunhe got up and left the Sutra Repository, then teleported directly to the Treasure Pavilion.

"Treasure Pavilion!"

As an inner disciple, Liu Chongzong didn't directly give him a Yuan Embryo, which meant that Lu Yunhe had to buy several supreme treasures to arm himself first.

"To obtain a Primordial Embryo, you either need to become a true disciple or go to the Trial Tower; either way, you have a chance to get one."

Lu Yunhe had also searched for relevant information in the disciple token. Given the rarity of the Yuan Embryo, even the Liuzhong Sect wouldn't provide it to even their inner disciples; they would have to demonstrate even higher aptitude.

As Lu Yunhe entered the Treasure Pavilion, a sudden shift in time and space occurred, and he found himself in a boundless world.

Whoosh!

Then a large sphere of light materialized out of thin air and descended in front of Lu Yunhe, looking very similar to the Holy Spirit.

This space is neither physical nor virtual. It's somewhat like a place where virtual and physical elements merge.

Because cultivators also value compatibility with weapons and equipment, they must inspect the goods and try them out before purchasing them; it's not appropriate to directly apply them to the material world.

“Even the Primordial Ancestor could create a virtual universe, so it’s not surprising that the Origin Continent possesses even more advanced technology,” Lu Yunhe thought to himself.

Just as Lu Yunhe was pondering, the light sphere opposite him also projected a light screen, which was a list of various physical supplies.

Weapons and equipment, mechanical treasures, cultivation resources...

"Weaponry!"

Lu Yunhe planned to buy himself a better weapon. Although the Yuan Embryo was good, for the Lord of the Universe and the True God, a supreme treasure was about the same.

As Lu Yunhe spoke, the light screen in front of them began to change, displaying images of weapons and equipment, with the required points and permissions below the images.

Some extremely precious items, even those only at the True God level, are still of extraordinary value.

"True God-level battle armor starts at 3,000 points..."

"True god-level weapon, starting at 1000 points..."

"A true god-level palace starts at 20,000 points..."

Lu Yunhe scanned the prices of these weapons and equipment. Even among True God-level equipment, there were differences in value. The cheapest were weapons, while the most expensive were palace-type treasures, just like in the outside world.

However, these are just the base prices. Each type of equipment also has special treasures that are priced far higher than other items of the same level. For example, the most valuable weapons can cost over 100,000 points.

Lu Yunhe's 90,000 entry-level points are quite valuable; at least enough to equip himself with a complete set of god-level equipment.

The only regret is that, because production could not continue, the Holy Spirit imposed a limit.

As an inner disciple, Lu Yunhe can only purchase a maximum of fifteen weapon and equipment items.

The mechanical treasures next to it are limited to a maximum of five items that can be purchased.

Lu Yunhe expressed his understanding, since these were all inventory items, and each one sold meant one less available.

Anyway, this quantity limit is enough for him, and it will increase after the permission is upgraded.

"Shattering Void Sword, 12,000 points!"
