Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

"Finally done!"

Lu Yunhe sighed with emotion, finally mastering a secret technique he had learned a long time ago.

It even innovated and surpassed the framework of its original creators.

At this moment, after Lu Yunhe's nine clones had completely merged, his divine power, soul power, and even his inner world had all reached the second level of the God King realm.

The only thing lacking is the comprehension of the original Dao. However, if one uses the original Dao without any reservations and combines various original Daos, then there will be no difference at all.

boom!

Lu Yunhe unleashed a punch, the power comparable to a super universe exploded, the entire ruins were cleansed once again, leaving only some remains.

Although the power of the second level of the God King is still a bit weaker than that of the Beast King and the Primal Universe, they are still on the same level, not even half a realm apart.

Moreover, this is because Lu Yunhe reached this level of strength through the "Body Fusion Technique".

If it were a matter of self-cultivation, given his foundation, he would be no different from either of them.

If he were to encounter a Beast Source, he wouldn't even need to run away; he could simply confront it head-on. It would be difficult to determine life or death without a fight that lasts until the end of time.

Moreover, because it is a comprehensive upgrade, there is absolutely no issue of insufficient control.

"His soul has grown considerably!"

Lu Yunhe sensed the improvement in his soul. Originally, it was split off from the soul's origin, but now that it has merged, the changes in his soul should be the greatest.

Originally, due to his genetic level and the origin of his Dao, Lu Yunhe's soul origin was far superior to that of other God Kings, so even with his soul split, he was still able to maintain the level of a normal God King.

After this soul fusion, his soul strength almost doubled, making him far superior to even those at the second level of the God King realm.

To absorb the Origin Crystal to enhance such a level of soul strength would likely require an astronomical amount, something no God-King could afford.

Once Lu Yunhe advances further and the two branches of the Origin Dao merge, his soul strength is estimated to reach the limit of a God King.

An increase in divine power can only be considered an enhancement of strength, while an improvement in the origin of the soul can increase the speed of cultivation in all aspects, including the comprehension of the original Dao.

"The second level of the God King realm should be reached soon."

Lu Yunhe felt his own soul origin and the "Primordial Chaos Realm" on the other side of the Divine Tree clone. The fusion of the two lineages of the Origin Dao could not stop him, after all, it was like getting on the bus first and buying the ticket later.

"The Original Path!"

Thinking of this, Lu Yunhe couldn't help but frown slightly, because in such a short time, he seemed to have entered the Dao of Origin again.

Having observed the traces within the "Primordial Chaos Realm," even without deliberately seeking to comprehend other primal paths, Lu Yunhe unknowingly entered the realms of light and time.

The former is naturally related to Ultraman's clones, although it did not follow the path of the origin of light. The latter is because of the path of eternity, which overlaps somewhat with the path of time.

Although it was only the beginning, Lu Yunhe noticed something was wrong. Was the Origin Dao so easy to comprehend?

For ordinary people, comprehending the fundamental Dao is already the limit. For Lu Yunhe, it's even more difficult to choose which fundamental Dao to comprehend. If there are too many to comprehend, some must be abandoned.

There is no interference between the various fundamental paths, and there is no difference between comprehending them individually and not at all. Even the Void Realm Path is more difficult to comprehend because of its inherent difficulty.

This is incredibly powerful, especially after the "Primordial Chaos Realm" came into existence. It's as if the Primordial Dao is chasing after him and being forcibly implanted into his mind.

"It's a pity I've only just begun!"

Lu Yunhe shook his head helplessly. This kind of nascent Origin Dao was of no use to him, and he did not have any extra clones to support these Origin Dao.

"However, if it's so easy to get started, one can gain more insight into the fundamental principles and perhaps make new discoveries."

Lu Yunhe pondered, "The difference between those who have entered the Dao of Origin and those who haven't is enormous; it's a fundamental change in their understanding of the origin of the entire world."

If he could comprehend all the fundamental principles, even if it's just the beginning, it might bring him a different perspective.

At his level, the perspective from which he perceives the world is extremely important.

Lu Yunhe was not opposed to the basics of the Dao of Origin, and even when he encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation, he could spend more time on it.

However, Lu Yunhe has no intention of spending time cultivating these fundamental paths to the God King realm for the time being, and will instead focus on the fundamental paths he is currently cultivating.

"All I can say is that you're too late."

Lu Yunhe suppressed his ambitions for the future and decided to seize the present moment, at least to reach the ultimate realm with one of his original paths.

After adjusting to the changes in his body, Lu Yunhe focused his attention on the Eternal Sky Ship in his hands.

During the time he cultivated the "Body Fusion Technique," the Eternal Sky Ship also completed its tempering, making up for its initial defects. Various god-king level materials were fused into the entire Sky Ship through the Eternal Core.

At this moment, the surface of the Eternal Sky Ship is imprinted with countless complex traces of the primordial Dao, giving people a feeling of being ancient, eternal, sacred, and inviolable.

Having made up for its shortcomings and even incorporated a large amount of materials, the Eternal Sky Ship has now fully entered the level of a top-tier God-King treasure.

"It has reached the limit of the Eternal Core."

Lu Yunhe stroked the Eternal Sky Ship in his hand, feeling both satisfied and somewhat regretful.

This treasure has reached its limit. Neither the ultimate divine weapon nor the supreme divine weapon can match it, as the material itself has its limits.

If we want to further improve it, we'd probably have to put most of the resources into changing the weapon's material, which would be no different from rebuilding it from scratch.

"enough!"

Lu Yunhe, who had been sitting cross-legged in mid-air, landed, bowed slightly to the entire ruins, and then waved his hand to collect the entire ruins into the Sky Ship.

Once we return to the Origin Continent, we must pass on the secret techniques from this ruin. Otherwise, this ruin will likely disappear completely in the next cycle of reincarnation.

"Thank you!"

Lu Yunhe glanced at the empty underground, then threw out the Eternal Sky Ark again, sat inside, and left the depths of the earth, heading towards the surface.

The underground magma along the way pounded against the Eternal Ark again, but it couldn't even scrape off the paint.

The black beetles above them were annihilated in flames by a single shot from the Eternal Cannon.

It took Lu Yunhe quite a while to come down from the surface to the underground, but now both his own strength and the power of the Eternal Sky Ship have increased by a level, so the speed of leaving will be much faster.

Lu Yunhe's target was naturally the Origin God City. Since both of his clones had entered without any life-threatening danger, he naturally wanted to go in as well.

Lu Yunhe would naturally not miss the chance to get a God-King level treasure for free.

However, Lu Yunhe eventually understood what happened with Sphia's clone. It turned out that the Hunyuan being who was paying attention to him had also discovered the clone's identity, and the reward became normal.

……

"Life-Saving Gun!"

Sphia's clone looked at the treasure she had retrieved from the scroll and pouted in disappointment.

Compared to the Divine Tree clone's possession of both top-tier God-King treasures and Primordial Treasures, the Sphia clone's possessions were much more meager, consisting of only an ordinary God-King level treasure and a Divine Body Secret Technique.

With the Divine Tree clone as a comparison, the Sphia clone's perspective naturally broadened considerably.

In fact, the Life Spear is second only to the top-tier God-King treasures, and is extremely valuable, even to God-Kings.

When it comes to God-King level treasures, due to the explosive increase in power and the existence of the Origin Dao, the differences between various types of Origin Dao treasures are not as huge as those between True God level weapons.

Every God-King level treasure is extremely precious, after all, unlike the World Heart Continent where God-Kings are abundant and there are even higher-level beings personally feeding and nurturing them.

"But it does suit quite well..."

Sphia's clone wielded the Life Spear, which, in addition to the necessary power amplification, also had the effect of absorbing the enemy's divine power and storing it.

If the divine power and divine body are damaged, it can also absorb the divine power in the Divine Spear of Life to recover. It is very comprehensive and is also an extremely suitable treasure for Sphia's clone. It's just that in his opinion, the level is a little low.

The other reward is a secret technique called "Divine Essence Technique," a secret technique for cultivating a divine body. Once mastered, it grants strength comparable to the second level of a God King.

Sphia's clone glanced at the resource requirements and lost interest; the required resources were far too many, even more than those needed for the "Fusion Technique."

Such secret techniques are best suited for those who are stuck at the first level of the God-King realm and unable to make any progress, spending countless epochs to collect various resources and improve their strength. For a genius like him, the value is quite ordinary.

In addition, this secret technique is much more valuable to those who have also practiced the clone technique but whose clones are relatively weak.

The former is similar to the Star Sect Master, whose strength can be further improved, while the latter is naturally like the Purple Wood God King, who can have an additional helper at the second level of the God King level.

However, this secret technique reminded Sphia's clone of the "Art of Dimensions". Although the cultivation conditions are different, the levels seem to be similar. Neither of them exceeds the limit of the second level of God King. They are very strong and precious, but not excessive.

Moreover, it also contains the character "元" (Yuan), which can evoke countless imaginations. Perhaps it is a secret technique that "元" once cultivated?

"It can be used for exchange, but it could also easily aid the enemy," Sphia's clone thought, putting away all the secret techniques and examining the blank scroll with some regret.

In this way, the Divine Tree clone should have enjoyed the first-come-first-served benefits, being the first among them to pass the test, and therefore received extra preferential treatment. The rewards that the Sphia clone is receiving now are normal.

Even if the main body arrives later, the rewards for clearing the game will probably not be special.

Then, Sphia's clone refined the Life God Spear, put away the scroll key, transformed, revealed the divine power aura of her true form, and left the room.

To appear as the original body, so as not to cause misunderstandings, since the Sphia clone was, in a sense, smuggled in.

Pushing open the closed gate, you'll find yourself in a courtyard with an artificial hill and pond.

The entire courtyard was very quiet, with only the sound of flowing water echoing in the background.

"A courtyard; it seems this must be inside the City of Origin."

Sphia's clone pondered that the unusually solidified space within this divine city had almost suppressed his destructive power to the extreme.

Afterwards, they wandered around the rooms in the courtyard but didn't find anything special.

The only magical thing is that everything in the courtyard, once he puts it into his storage space, will disappear in no time and then reappear in the same place.

"You can't take it with you!"

Sphia's clone shook his head, then picked up his spear and walked out the door.

The entire street was much like a normal city, the only problem being the lack of people; you couldn't see a single living person, it was like a ghost town.

However, if there are still many residents active in this divine city, it would be even more terrifying.

Besides these, there is the towering City Lord's Mansion located right in the center of the city.

Upon entering the divine city, the scroll key also provided a marker: the City Lord's Mansion.

The passage out of the divine city is located in the city lord's mansion; you can go there directly if you wish to leave.

However, since Sphia's clone had only just entered, there was no rush for her to leave, as there should be many opportunities within the divine city.

"Let's go check out the streets first!"

Sphia's clone walked down the street. Before she had gone far, a cloud of mist rose from the street ahead, and a figure appeared and disappeared within it.

"who?"

Sphia's clone twirled her spear, creating a small whirlwind that tried to disperse the rising mist.

However, the whirlwind containing divine power, which was swallowed up as soon as it touched the mist, did not disperse it, but the sound within it was directly revealed.
