Devouring the Starry Sky: Giants of Light at the beginning

Chapter 928 Origin Destiny Chart
"World-class, perfect!"

Feeling the sense of harmony and completeness within his body, Lu Yunhe could clearly sense that he had reached a peak.

And atop this peak lies the lord, as lofty and distant as the heavens.

"That was pretty fast!"

For a world-class being like him who attained enlightenment by enslaving the source world, perfection was a natural outcome, without any bottlenecks.

In other words, even if one achieves enlightenment through the Hunyuan bloodline, it still requires a long time to comprehend its essence. Moreover, due to the contamination of the bloodline, it can sometimes even erase the increase in comprehension brought about by the advancement in realm.

"Next up is the Lord of Hunyuan, a true master of the Hunyuan level of Dao," Lu Yunhe pondered.

For cultivators who cultivate their lives after birth, there are essentially only two realms: the cosmic god who has not transcended the cage, and the primordial lord who has transcended the cage.

The Original Dao and the Primordial Dao are just these two levels.

The so-called Hunyuan Dao is actually just a general term; in essence, it is simply the fusion of the original Dao and one's own will.

This power transcends the scope of the Origin World's primordial Dao and touches upon the power of the endless primordial space, hence it is called the "Primordial Dao".

Because the Dao itself doesn't actually have much power; it must form a system of rules and then be driven by "will" to unleash its full potential.

Having mastered all the branches of the original Dao, Lu Yunhe's understanding of the origin and the world reached an unparalleled level.

Some things, some concepts, don't need anyone to point them out; they become clear naturally without anyone having to explain them.

Before Lu Yunhe, the world presented itself as both shattered like glass and perfectly unified as a whole.

Fragmentation and unity, two opposing attributes, intertwined in Lu Yunhe's mind, and then spontaneously deduced, without even requiring his active promotion.

Lu Yunhe's gaze gradually shifted from the rules of the world to himself, and he couldn't help but frown as he looked at the faintly visible Origin Destiny Plate.

"This thing looks so much like the life core of a naturally formed, primordial life form!"

Lu Yunhe was somewhat bewildered. He was indeed imitating the cultivation of the Origin World, but he never expected to have created something like this.

When he first entered the world-class level, the origin that resembled a world disc was merely a manifestation of his power; it had not truly solidified.

Unexpectedly, after he mastered all three thousand fundamental Daos, he actually managed to condense this thing.

These naturally occurring, primordial beings are similar to some unique and special life forms or advanced races in the primordial universe. At birth, they all possess their own unique life core.

All naturally occurring primordial life forms possess a life core, even the progenitors are no exception.

Their life core is their very essence; once it is shattered, they will perish completely.

However, the life core is not their weakness; on the contrary, it possesses infinite potential and is inherently key to the Hunyuan level.

Beings born at the Chaos Origin level have a chance to break through to the Primordial level simply by consuming the Origin World. Even some Primordial beings can continue to devour the Origin World to grow.

They are the darlings of the endless primordial space. Some powerful innate primordial beings can easily reach the world level simply by eating and drinking, just like the golden-horned behemoth in the primordial universe, without ever having to go through the cultivation process.

Such terrifying potential and talent lie at the core of their life essence.

In contrast, cultivators do not have this talent and can only try their best to grasp their own path.

Therefore, after truly transcending the constraints and comprehending the Dao at the primordial level, one directly unites the mind with the Dao and reaches a level of immortality.

Immortality is both the ultimate goal that cultivators are proud of, and the starting point that imprisons them.

Without the simple path of a life core, one can only pursue the more difficult path, thus achieving greater success after a breakthrough.

If they could exchange them, aside from the lords, most cultivators would probably be eager to have a life core as well.

For naturally born primordial beings, the life core is their origin. As long as they continuously expand their origin, they can grow easily.

As for cultivators, even those who want to pursue the path of bloodline fusion must first comprehend the essence of bloodlines.

The reason is that cultivators do not have a life core and need to use "Dao" as the core to replace the life core in their Hunyuan bloodline.

In some ways, it is similar to Lu Yunhe's current situation.

Although Lu Yunhe has only comprehended the world-class Hunyuan bloodline of the Infinite Serpent clan so far, there is a feeling that they have arrived at the same destination through different paths.

Because the Origin World is also a naturally occurring chaotic life form, and it is the most powerful existence among them. Its full name is the Naturally Origin World.

It has an origin, a system of rules, secret patterns, and even a supreme will. It was also nurtured by the endless primordial space, making it a truly innate primordial life form!

The innate primordial life takes the life core as its origin, the origin world takes the origin land as its origin, and the primordial lords take the Dao as their origin.

Without the constraint of the life core, the Hunyuan life form's characteristic of being one with its clones will be brought to its fullest potential; there are no clones, only the original body.

This means that as long as one clone is left hidden somewhere, even if all the other clones die, it can still quickly recover to its peak condition. This is the immortality of a cultivator lord.

In contrast, a naturally born, undifferentiated life form is essentially dead once its life core is shattered.

As for attacks involving the soul and will, cultivators who have risen from weakness to strength are among the strongest in the endless primordial space.

The essence of immortality is simply that one's ability to keep secrets is strong enough that others cannot kill them.

No matter how many clones of the opponent are destroyed, as long as the "source" is not attacked, they can be reborn.

“All paths lead to oneness; all paths were originally born from the endless primordial space,” Lu Yunhe exclaimed.

Just like the cage of the Origin World, no matter which direction the life forms living in it develop, they will eventually fall back to the level of the Origin Dao of the World.

The endless primordial space is also another kind of cage.

His mind and body have both reached world-class perfection. As things stand, Lu Yunhe is only one final realm away from reaching the pinnacle of the world.

Even the Starburst, which claims to have taken the second step, cannot kill an immortal being. This second step is probably not even as big as the gap between becoming a Marquis Immortal and becoming a King Immortal.

If one can kill an immortal being, it can be considered as taking another step beyond the lord realm.

The progenitor level and the immortal level are roughly considered two different realms, since immortality is also a kind of power.

Lu Yunhe analyzed his own condition and considered how to prove himself as a lord.

"source!"

At this moment, the restrictions outside the cave were triggered, and a lord-level being came to visit.

“Senior Xingmang!” Lu Yunhe looked at a young child who was approaching, with a mark between his eyebrows.

Although the person was dressed as a child, Lu Yunhe could still see through their true nature at a glance, which was also because the latter did not try to hide it.

"It's already at the world-class perfection level." Star Lord looked at the source before him, his joy growing even stronger. Such speed! "Thank you for your help, seniors," Lu Yunhe said.

"It's also your own talent, and we can only offer a little bit of help." Starlight shook his head.

“You’ve already reached the world-class perfection level. Next is becoming the Lord of Hunyuan. We can’t help you with that step.”

"Do you have a direction yet?" Xingmang asked curiously. He couldn't see the other person's future either, nor did he know how far Yuan had progressed.

"I've got a direction, but unfortunately, they all take a lot of time," Lu Yunhe said, frustrated.

"Ha ha!"

Starlight laughed. He understood that what troubled Yuan was the need to spend time, not how to become a lord.

It seems that the other party is confident of becoming a lord, and it just takes some time.

If other people heard this, they would probably be extremely envious.

"Due to the limitations of the rules governing the Primordial Land, time acceleration can only be achieved at a rate of tens of millions of times under normal circumstances. But with my personal intervention, I can achieve a rate of hundreds of millions of times," Starlight said.

"Then I'll have to trouble Senior Xingmang," Lu Yunhe said.

Being able to accelerate time by hundreds of millions of times can buy him a lot of time.

The Star Lord nodded, and the spacetime of the entire cave began to distort. The spacetime rules of the area where the cave was located began to be modified, and the energy of the entire Primordial Land was connected to maintain the spacetime state here with the energy of the Primordial Land.

"The Primordial Dao of Spacetime!"

Although the Star Lord's methods were very profound, Lu Yunhe still managed to glimpse some of their secrets.

"Time still possesses some absolute qualities!" Lu Yunhe pondered.

The reason why time is superior to space is that time can influence the entire world; it is not only the power of time, but also the power of the entire world.

Even at the level of Hunyuan, the power of time still permeates the endless Hunyuan space.

If placed in some smaller worlds, Lu Yunhe could even make billions of epochs into a single instant.

However, that time dimension is too illusory in the Hunyuan level and cannot achieve the effect of acceleration.

"The time flow rate in your cave has been adjusted to one hundred million times, and it is in a constant state that cannot be increased or decreased," said the Star Lord.

The higher the time flow rate, the more troublesome it is to adjust, unless it is used by Starburst itself.

"Not only that, I've also strengthened your connection with the origin of the primordial land, so you can use energy without restraint."

"Senior Xingmang, has the situation on the front lines worsened?" Lu Yunhe asked, frowning.

The Star Lord's actions made Lu Yunhe feel uneasy.

"Ok!"

After a moment's thought, Xingmang decided not to hide anything from Lu Yunhe and slowly said, "In the not-too-distant future, naturally born chaotic life forms will launch a large-scale attack, and the cultivators' territory may be completely lost."

Starburst didn't even mention this future to the other lords, because there was no need.

"Although I don't want to put too much pressure on you, but... become a lord as soon as possible!" Starlight said softly, and then his clone quietly left.

……

Inside the secluded chamber, Lu Yunhe also felt the vast primordial energy and the acceleration of time by hundreds of millions of times.

"I never imagined the situation would deteriorate to this extent. Has the future changed?" Lu Yunhe pondered.

This calamity should also have occurred in the original work, probably after the appearance of the eighth lord, Luo Feng. But now, Luo Feng is still cultivating on the Realm Heart Continent and hasn't even been to the Holy Realm. Lu Yunhe doesn't believe that he could become a lord in such a short time.

Normally, the two camps would last for a long time, or even many times, but it is probably because of his influence that the naturally formed chaotic life camp made different choices.

"My lord!" Lu Yunhe murmured.

There are at least three paths for Lu Yunhe to become the Lord of Hunyuan.

Having mastered all the fundamental principles, Lu Yunhe's essence had already been elevated. He didn't need to do anything; the fundamental principles would spontaneously propel him forward.

To become the Lord of Hunyuan, Lu Yunhe needs to thoroughly comprehend all the branches of the Primordial Dao.

You don't need to reach the ultimate level; you only need to thoroughly understand all these branches and reach the first level of the Cosmic God.

After all, the second and third levels are essentially fusions of the Dao, so there isn't such a strong need for them.

The difference between merely getting started and truly understanding the essence of something is indeed significant, though the ultimate gains are equally substantial.

Once he fully comprehends all three thousand branches of the fundamental Dao, his spiritual realm will reach its peak, and he will easily become a Lord of the Primordial Chaos.

The second path, naturally, is to comprehend another ultimate path, ideally one that includes elements related to the mind and soul; even just a part of it will suffice.

At that time, the three ultimate paths can drive the three thousand great paths in a stable triangular structure, which will be enough for him to form a world rule system at the primordial level.

The former is a quantitative change, while the latter is a qualitative change. In essence, they both imitate the rules and operating system of the source world, and then combine them with the original Dao and the source to elevate themselves to the same level as the source world.

As for the third option, Lu Yunhe wasn't so sure. He simply suggested staying in the Hunyuan Space and letting it accumulate and circulate on its own.

It's very simple, just like the Origin World in the endless primordial space.

Treat yourself as the source world, and accept the nurturing and baptism from the primordial space.

However, all three routes are time-consuming, with each one taking longer than the last.

Even with a time acceleration of hundreds of millions of times, it's still not enough, especially the third path, which requires going to the Hunyuan Space.

"Become a lord in a short time!" Lu Yunhe's mind raced, even causing the illusory destiny chart to change and operate.

Click!

A sound like porcelain shattering rang out, pulling Lu Yunhe back to reality. It was the sound of his body breaking because it could not withstand the operation of the original rules.

Even a world-class primordial body cannot withstand the evolution of the three thousand fundamental Daos.

“The fourth path…” Lu Yunhe murmured.

The next moment, the Origin Destiny Plate spun violently, and with a roar, Lu Yunhe's entire body exploded.
