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

Chapter 99 The Secret Realm of God's Fall
Boom!

Within Yu Duan's sea of ​​consciousness, as his will completed its transformation, the special power of the secret technique instantly increased the speed of his soul's transformation by hundreds of times.

Correspondingly, the spiritual pain that Yu Duan endured also increased a thousandfold.

"I see. The speed at which the Primordial Spirit modifies the soul is based on the limits that can be tolerated."

"That's right. If cultivating this secret technique at the cosmic level requires the will of an immortal god at its peak to even begin, then that would be too heaven-defying."

Yu Duan was able to clearly perceive that the essence of his own soul was undergoing a transformation at an extremely rapid pace.

It will only take a few days to complete the transformation.

Before the will undergoes a transformation, it takes more than ten years to complete that transformation.

Even a genius like Kodi, whose will is exceptionally strong, would need hundreds of thousands of years to complete the full transformation.

Enduring soul-crushing pain to the limit for hundreds of thousands of years? That's practically impossible. Even Luo Feng only needed a few thousand years to recognize the Star Tower as his master. Moreover, even cosmic-level beings don't have a lifespan of hundreds of thousands of years.

“Hong, one of the three brothers of Earth, is no weaker than me in terms of willpower. However, his comprehension of the laws is not good enough to meet the requirements for mastering the secret technique.”

Although Hong was unable to reach the twenty-first island of the Illusionary Sea at the cosmic level, his will was definitely at the level of a cosmic venerable.

Otherwise, Hong wouldn't have been able to pass the twentieth island of the Illusionary Sea; even a peak-level King might not be able to pass this level. Only a strong will could compensate for the weakness of his soul consciousness, making it possible.

According to the description in "The Primal Spirit", transforming a cosmic-level soul requires an attainment of about 12 levels of the Sky Bridge.

Transform the soul of a Domain Lord level being the 16th floor of the Sky Bridge.

The next level, Realm Lord, requires comprehension of the laws at the 20th level of the Heavenly Bridge.

This corresponds exactly to the three original Tongtian Mountains. Yu Duan has reason to suspect that the difficulty level of the original Tongtian Mountains may have been influenced by the cultivation requirements of this secret technique.

Time ticked by, and this soul-crushing pain at the limit of willpower was an immense torment every single second.

However, unlike the Star Tower which cannot be stopped.

Once Yu Duan can no longer withstand it, he will be unable to maintain the operation of the secret technique before his soul collapses, and naturally there will be no danger to his life.

……

In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.

In the virtual universe, inside the temple of Lord Youhou, Yu Duan sat cross-legged.

Beside Yu Duan, there was not only the figure of Lord Youhou, but also three other imposing figures.

One of them was Yu Duan's teacher, the only soul master among the universe's lords of the human race, the Lord of Darkness.

"Junior brother, do you think this little guy Yu Duan can hold on until his soul completes its transformation?"

Clad in golden armor, with a resolute and dignified face, the Chaos City Lord looked at the Dark Lord beside him and asked a question.

This is the true form of the Chaos City Lord; the one in the Chaos Ruins is the Chaos City Lord's killing clone.

The Lord of Darkness recalled his own experience of cultivating this secret technique and shook his head uncertainly: "Difficult."

The duration of this kind of spiritual torment is immeasurable.

This has little to do with willpower, because everyone's suffering is limited to their own limit.

Some people with weaker willpower may be able to persevere for years or even decades, while those with stronger willpower may not be able to endure even a few dozen days.

Beside the two, a handsome man with graying temples spoke up: "Even if they can complete the transformation, it will probably be difficult for them to reach the level of their teacher back then."

"Haha, it's enough to be able to reproduce even a fraction of the teacher's style." The Chaos City Lord said optimistically.

The original ancestor was incredibly powerful back then, absolutely invincible in the cosmic sea. Facing the siege of dozens of beings of the same level, he still managed to carve out a bloody path, displaying unparalleled prowess.

"It seems like Junior Brother is about to wake up?"

Lord Youhou suddenly spoke up. While the three elders chatted, his attention remained focused on Yu Duan.

At this moment, Yu Duan slowly opened his eyes, and the pain on his face had disappeared.

"More than 50 days? Not bad, much better than I was back then," Lord Youhou said with a smile.

Lord Youhou only lasted for a little over thirty days, and his power in illusion magic only increased by a little over thirty percent.

As for the Demon Lord, he persisted for more than twenty days, and his illusion magic increased by about 20%.

The Lord of Chaos City and the Lord of Ice Peak sighed with some regret. The time was still too short, and the amplification of illusion magic probably wouldn't be too strong, only about the same as theirs, far inferior to the Lord of Darkness.

The Lord of Darkness can increase his illusion magic amplification by about three to four times.

"teacher?"

As soon as Yu Duan opened his eyes, he saw the Lord of Darkness, the Lord of Youhou, and two other beings he was seeing for the first time.

Although it was the first time they had met, Yu Duan could roughly guess their identities.

"This is your senior master, the Lord of Chaos City, and this is your junior master, the Lord of Ice Peak," the Lord of Darkness introduced to Yu Duan.

Yu Duan immediately stood up and bowed to the Lord of Chaos City and the Lord of Ice Peak.

"Greetings to Uncle-Master Chaos, greetings to Uncle-Master Ice Peak."

After Yu Duan finished bowing, a gentle smile appeared on the dignified face of the Chaos City Lord: "Little fellow, there's no need for such formalities. This time, with your soul transformation, how much has your illusion magic been amplified?"

"How much?"

Upon hearing this, the shimmering starlight emanating from Yu Duan's fair skin suddenly became much more dazzling.

It didn't become more dazzling; it was still a very faint halo. However, the colors were more dreamlike and magnificent, and it contained a kind of captivating magic that made people unable to look away once they saw it.

"Probably several dozen times? The main reason is that the disciple's will underwent a transformation during this process."

Yu Duan also found it difficult to determine how to calculate this illusion amplification; it's hard to quantify. Should it be calculated based on increased deceptiveness, or on making it harder to break free?

The deceptiveness depends more on the strength of the soul and consciousness; the increase in willpower is possible, but not significant.

But no matter what, it's definitely several tens of times more.

"Ok?"

"A transformation of will?"

"Little guy, did you hold out until the soul transformation was over?"

The three cosmic lords reacted differently; even the coldest, the Ice Peak Lord, showed a strange look in his eyes.

Yu Duan nodded honestly: "I guess so. In the end, the secret technique has no effect and will not cause any pain."

The Lord of Chaos City laughed loudly, his eyes showing approval, and said, "Good, good, good."

"Very good, worthy of being my personal disciple." The Lord of Darkness placed his hand on Yu Duan's shoulder and nodded repeatedly with some excitement.

Even the Lord of the Ice Peaks repeatedly praised it.

Clearly, Yu Duan's ability to complete the transformation of his soul has greatly increased the importance these three universe lords place on him.

"Child, what are your plans after breaking through to the Domain Lord level?" The Lord of Darkness looked at Yu Duan.

Yu Duan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Teacher, I plan to hone my willpower for a few years before being sent abroad."

"To temper one's will?"

The Lord of Darkness looked at the Lord of Chaos City beside him: "Then send him to the Tianchen Universe Kingdom, and let this child go to the Sixth Dimension."

Yu Duan secretly pricked up his ears to eavesdrop.

He really didn't know which secret realm the sixth dimension was.

The only thing we know is that the Primal Secret Realm, also known as the Ninth Dimension, is the ninth most important of all the secret realms under the human race.

"The Fallen God Realm is indeed suitable for tempering one's will, but it carries certain risks. Little one, are you willing to go?"

The Lord of Chaos City naturally agreed to the Lord of Darkness's request, but still asked Yu Duan for his opinion.

"Senior Uncle, what is this Divine Fall Secret Realm?"

Yu Duan searched the virtual universe network but found no information about the sixth dimension or the Godfall Secret Realm.

"This Godfall Secret Realm has a long history. You have been to the ancient god ruins of the Blood Luo Continent, and you must have sensed the baleful aura there. The Godfall Secret Realm is similar to those ancient god ruins, only much more powerful."

As he spoke, the Lord of Chaos waved his hand, and a light screen appeared in front of Yu Duan.

This Divine Fall Secret Realm was formed after the fall of a super being called the Ancient Mountain Founder.

The creators of this ancient mountain were among the first super-beings in the primordial universe, even before the emergence of humankind.

No one knows why the founder of this ancient mountain, who was quietly in seclusion in the primordial universe, suddenly perished.

But after his fall, this Divine Fall Secret Realm was formed.

Inside the Godfall Secret Realm, one can feel the impact of that sense of despair, which is far more terrifying than the baleful aura of the ancient god ruins.

Later, with the rise of the human race, this Godfall Secret Realm was incorporated into the human race's territory.

"This disciple is willing to go to the Divine Fall Secret Realm to hone my skills!"

While speaking, Yu Duan also diverted some of his attention to the Book of Cause and Effect in his inner world.

"Paying off the advance costs, tempering one's will through extreme pain for 1000 years, current progress: 3 days and 14 hours..."

The progress made in these three days or so is the progress made when the secret technique was used to transform the soul after the transformation of will.

Once the soul has completed its transformation, it becomes ineffective.

I wonder if the environment of this Godfall Secret Realm has any effect on tempering one's will.

If you really can't find a way to improve efficiency, you might as well just grind for a thousand years.

"Alright, then let's send him to the Tianchen Universe Kingdom." The Chaos City Lord smiled and nodded.

……

Half a day later, in the primeval secret realm.

Yu Duan returned to his courtyard.

"If I had known that this comprehension wouldn't consume any Chaos Stele opportunities, I should have stayed a few more days."

Yu Duan felt a little regretful, but only a little.

The comprehension of the Chaos Stele over several dozen days in a single session was long overdue for the culmination of hundreds of years of cosmic-level cultivation.

Even if you continue to try to understand it, the effect will no longer be obvious.

The reason why the clan sets the time for comprehending the Chaos Stele to be seven days is because the effect of seven days is just right.

Continuing to study the Chaos Stele will not yield much of a boost.

"I've figured out the first four pictures, and I've also gained some understanding of the fifth one."

"If I try to cross the Sky Bridge again, the thirteenth floor shouldn't be too difficult for me."

"If we use illusion techniques that are significantly enhanced, the fourteenth level should be no problem."
