Master of Devouring Stars

Dominate the ancient road.

Li Ze climbed the stone steps one by one, and within his inner universe, changes were slowly taking place.

For Li Ze, the path of his inner universe is about encompassing all things. By devouring the primal power of many source worlds, he has already included the Five Elements, time and space, wind, thunder and light, and many other Daos. Furthermore, through the special nature of his inner universe, he has already perfectly integrated these Daos.

This is also the reason why he, despite not being a Hunyuan-level life form in essence, possesses Hunyuan Lord-level combat power.

But these many paths that have been integrated into his inner universe have both made him who he is and bound him.
If he wants to transform his inner universe to a higher level, he will be suppressed by the original will of the primordial space. His inner universe, which is based on the many Daos of the Hunyuan space, is naturally restrained by the Hunyuan space.

This is also why he previously worked hard to comprehend the Dao contained in the primordial world and integrate it into his inner universe.

And today.

Walking along this ancient path of domination, facing the oppressive force of the Dao that was completely different from his previous understanding of the Dao, Li Ze gained a great deal of insight from it.

"The impact of these paths is strong."

"But for me, it can only become resources on my path forward," Li Ze's soul roared.

wow~
Outside, endless threads of Dao converged and surged forth, only to be blocked by Li Ze's punch. Meanwhile, most of his mind was immersed in comprehending the Dao fluctuations generated by the collision.

"Not enough, these fluctuations aren't clear enough!" After throwing another punch, Li Ze thought to himself as he sensed the fluctuations.

suddenly
After climbing another stone step, Li Ze stopped throwing punches and instead used his boundless divine power to activate his physical body to defend itself, facing the impact of the Dao threads head-on.

"boom!"

The threads of Dao attacked frantically, attempting to annihilate Li Ze's physical body. However, supported and restored by boundless divine power, the threads of Dao repeatedly injured him, but could never harm his very essence.
On the contrary, the impact of these Dao threads made his physical body stronger and stronger, slowly undergoing a transformation.

This is impacting his Dao threads, tearing his physical body while continuously infusing the Dao essence contained within them into his body.

Most importantly, the Dao fluctuations generated after these Dao threads struck his body directly appeared within him, making his understanding clearer and causing his comprehension of the Dao contained within the Dao threads to surge continuously.

But it's normal.

Li Ze's strength is so high that it can even be compared with the Lord of Hunyuan. If he wanted to, with his talent and under the guidance of clear Dao rhythm fluctuations, it would not be too difficult for him to comprehend the Dao contained in the many threads of Dao that are different from the original space.

time flies.

At this moment, Li Ze had already walked a great distance along the Ancient Road of Domination. When he climbed a higher stone step again...

suddenly.

Wow!
The surrounding scenery changed again. Countless threads of Dao disappeared, and many more complete phenomena suddenly appeared, such as metal weapons, sky-covering vines, towering waves, dazzling flames, heavy boulders, and blades of time and space. Each of them contained greater power and clearer Dao rhythm fluctuations.

As soon as these strange phenomena appeared, they enveloped Li Ze.

"Nothing can stand in my way."

"These manifestations of the Dao are ultimately just Dao, merely a kind of vessel for the manifestation of the Dao. How strong can they be?" Li Ze stared at the strange phenomena that were engulfing him, his eyes sharp to the extreme. Two beams of light, seemingly materialized, swept across all directions. He remained fearless, advancing step by step, enduring the impact of the endless Dao rhythm within these strange phenomena with his physical body alone.

His aura grew stronger.

His understanding of the Tao deepened.

The changes within his inner universe were also accelerating, with new Daoist principles merging into it, making the spacetime within his inner universe more stable, the membranes more resilient, and the primordial power purer.
The extraordinary power of these external phenomena constantly impacting his body, any one of which would have been enough to annihilate a world-class Chaos Origin expert, could not shake him in the slightest at this moment, and even made his life force more vigorous.

To surpass, you must first take control.

For Li Ze, being able to comprehend more Daos different from the Hunyuan Space would allow him to better cope with the potential crises that may arise during the transformation of his inner universe in the future.

Therefore, Li Ze's progress was not fast. Every time he climbed a stone step, he would endure the impact of countless strange phenomena and try his best to comprehend the Dao within.

time flies.

One hundred stone steps, one thousand stone steps, three thousand stone steps
A hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years. To reach his level, ten thousand years is but a fleeting moment.

Li Ze was completely immersed in enlightenment. Ten thousand years later, his speed of climbing the stone steps gradually increased because his comprehension speed was rapidly improving. However, the strange phenomena he was about to face were also more terrifying.

even.

These phenomena are no longer simple natural phenomena; figures in human, animal, and plant forms, representing different paths, have begun to appear within them.

These figures, as if they were real living beings, began to actively attack Li Ze. Correspondingly, the Daoist power contained within these figures was no longer a simple addition, but rather one plus one was far greater than two. As the various Daos combined, they could unleash even more terrifying power.

At this moment, Li Ze could no longer completely withstand the attack with his physical body alone, and began to fight back with his fists, shattering these figures one by one.

after that.

Ten thousand years have passed, and Li Ze has walked extremely far on this ancient stone staircase. The figures that appear around him no longer embody a single Dao, but rather a perfect fusion of multiple Daos.

Each of these figures unleashed a power far surpassing that of a typical Perfect World-level Chaos Origin expert.

Moreover, their methods of attacking Li Ze were no longer singular; they even began to condense various Daos into a variety of weapons.

There was a long sword, seemingly ready to cleave the heavens.

It possesses a battle sword, extremely sharp, with the power to carve out a world.

Some of them transformed directly into palaces, suppressing Li Ze.

The attacks grew stronger and more numerous, constantly emerging from all around the stone steps and hurtling towards Li Ze.

Li Ze finally understood why Tian Xun had said before that even the Lord of Hunyuan could not reach the end of the Ancient Road of Domination.

Because there is no end! Whoosh~ The Heavenly Calamity Sword appeared directly in Li Ze's hand.

The sword light burst forth, instantly shattering all the figures formed from Daoist principles, reducing them all to dust.

"These alone cannot stop me." Li Ze stood imposingly on the stone steps, like a war god from ancient times, showing no fear.

time flies.

Li Ze didn't know how many times he had extinguished the attacks or how many stone steps he had climbed, but the figures formed by his Daoist auras seemed endless.

It could be millions of years, tens of millions of years, or even longer.

Li Ze's attacks grew increasingly powerful, constantly tearing apart the attacks crashing down from the stone steps.

However, all of this still seems to be in vain.

No matter how long he advanced or how many figures he shattered, his overwhelming offensive did not weaken at all; on the contrary, it grew even stronger.

"Endless? Is this a road without end?" Even Li Ze found it hard to believe.

Even though he is incredibly brave and has unparalleled combat power, and his inner universe possesses inexhaustible primal power, he doesn't need to worry too much about running out of energy.

but.

The relentless struggle and enlightenment over tens of millions of years has placed an alarming burden on the soul and will.

This road is so difficult to walk.

"I still don't believe it."

"No matter how powerful this Ancient Road of Domination is, it's just a rare treasure. Can it really trap a being at the level of a Chaos Lord here?" Li Ze's determination to reach the end of the Ancient Road only grew stronger at this moment.

His eyes shone even brighter, like two stars twinkling, as he continued forward step by step.

Unbeknownst to Li Ze, at this moment, on the continent where Tianxun Mountain is located...

Numerous strange phenomena are being born and manifesting above the continent, and a large number of these phenomena are enveloping the entire continent.

"What happened?"

"What exactly happened in Tianxun Mountain? How could such a strange phenomenon occur?" Nine Yin, Extreme Fire, and other powerful experts from the Hunyuan realm had emerged from the reception hall. Looking at the strange phenomena constantly appearing on the continent, they were filled with astonishment.

All they could feel at that moment was the boundless pressure contained within the strange phenomenon that enveloped the entire continent.

It was as if the entire Tianxun Mountain continent could be destroyed at any moment.

Meanwhile, at the foot of the mountain in the center of the continent, Mobo and his group also watched the strange phenomena filling the sky.

"Could it be Li Ze?"

"Or has some precious treasure appeared in Tianxun Mountain?" Mo Bo wondered to himself.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of millions of years have passed.

On that mysterious, ancient road of domination, the stone steps stretched endlessly, and Li Ze continued his arduous journey.

The attacks he was now facing were even stronger; the barrage of attacks was like a vast ocean, boundless and endless, completely engulfing Li Ze.

"Pfft~"

After shattering hundreds of figures once again, deep, bone-revealing wounds appeared on Li Ze's body. His body was on the verge of collapse, and even with his self-strengthening power, he could only barely withstand the waves of impact.

The fighting has gone on for far too long.

Even with his soul and willpower, he had almost reached his limit at this moment.

But at the same time.

"Om~"

Another invisible wave spread out, and Li Ze once again comprehended a Dao—the Dao of Annihilation.

This is the end.

In the Ancient Road of Domination, he has fully comprehended forty-three complete Daos, and there are hundreds more incomplete Daos. Countless Dao techniques are operating in his inner universe, which is now 30% stronger than before. Although its volume has not expanded, its toughness has far surpassed that of the past.

"Now."

"I feel that with such a foundation of the internal universe, the possibility of undergoing a transformation and surviving the Chaotic Universe Tribulation has greatly increased," Li Ze thought to himself.

But just as he was thinking about it...

"Boom~"

He was blasted away for the first time, blood splattered, and he suffered a severe injury, but even so, the light in his eyes remained firm, even more dazzling.

"There is hope."

"The more Dao I accumulate within my inner universe, the more confident I will be when facing the primordial will of the Chaos Space in the future," Li Ze thought.

This ancient path of domination, like the Chaos Bell I possess, likely originates from something outside the Devouring World. (End of Chapter)
