Devouring the Starry Sky: Giants of Light at the beginning

Chapter 951 The Property of Immortality

"The war between our cultivator camp and the naturally formed chaotic life camp has just ended. The lost territories need to be reclaimed, and new cultivators need guidance..."

Looking at the world-class Chaos Source before him and Sirius Guest, Lu Yunhe said, "Therefore, I have appointed eighteen garrison commanders, four commanders, and one inspector."

The garrison commander and the commander-in-chief assist in the specific management of the territory, while the patrol commander is responsible for inspecting the territory and is also the agent of Lu Yunhe's will.

"Do I have a chance to become an inspector?" Sirius wondered to himself.

Although he has not yet successfully broken through to the world-class Chaos Origin level, as a member of the Dark World Group, perhaps he can look forward to it.

"Let Zhu Huo take on the role of Inspector!" Lu Yunhe said calmly.

As the lord of Hunyuan, he has unlimited power in this regard. If needed, he can even appoint a high-ranking Hunyuan to these positions, though it would be somewhat beneath him.

"It's me!" Candlelight thought with delight. "It seems the lord values ​​management skills more. That makes sense, in terms of strength, there's not much difference between those below the lord!"

"Fortunately, I put a lot of effort into managing the territory and was kind to people. As a result, I not only gained the favor of the Yuan Lord, but also the trust of the new Lord."

Becoming an inspector, as the lord's representative, naturally gives one a higher status than other world-class Chaos Sources, and also brings considerable benefits.

“Candlelight, there are two major factions in the territory I’m in charge of. Go and inform them for me.”

"If they refuse, just go back," Lu Yunhe instructed.

"Yes…"

Candlelight looked serious; this was the first task the new lord had given him, and he had to do it well.

However, in this kind of confrontation involving the Hunyuan level, even a world-class Hunyuan seems to be only able to act as a mouthpiece.

"Go down and get ready."

Lu Yunhe waved his hand, dismissing the world-class Hunyuan before him.

"Finally, I can go into seclusion and organize my gains!"

Lu Yunhe returned to the huge secret chamber, looked at the body that almost surpassed the source world, and couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

Although he doesn't possess the immortality of a lord, he is practically immortal in the entire boundless primordial space unless he chooses to die.

If we disregard the ability to create clones, how would we kill it in this moment?

It would take at least dozens of Hunyuan Ancestors working together, and they would have to pay a considerable price.

The key issue is that with such a large group, it's impossible to hide the fact that they're taking action, and the other lords aren't pushovers either.

The previous great battle could be described as the largest progenitor-level war in the history of the Infinite Chaos Space.

For a long time, even the naturally formed Hunyuan life faction found it difficult to launch such a massive war.

In a one-on-one situation, even the Star Lord could only suppress him at most, because his size was simply too great.

The surging primordial power roared within his body, surpassing even the primordial world in quantity. It would take the Primordial Ancestor of Chaos a considerable amount of time to dissipate this primordial power alone.

The vast and complex system of rules formed by the three thousand fundamental Daos further endowed Lu Yunhe with incredible power.

If the rule system were to be loosened, even a world-class Hunyuan standing before him would be instantly decomposed by the rules, returning to its origin and transforming into primordial power.

"call!"

Lu Yunhe absorbed the energy of the Primordial Land to replenish the energy consumed in the previous battle.

An incredible, mysterious place where even a lord-level energy source can be easily replenished.

With a slight release of his body, he filled the entire secret room. When fully unfolded, he was like a complete source world. Even Lord Wulan, who was known for his size, was a head shorter than him.

Moreover, he is an ancestor-level cultivator, and the strength of his body is incomparable to that of the World Membrane. Even if he stands there, no one below the ancestor level can break through his defenses.

"Little little!"

The system of three thousand Great Dao rules within Lu Yunhe's body operated, constantly compressing the size of his body as if the void in the source world were being eliminated.

For progenitors like Lu Yunhe, who are enormous in size, being large is not considered powerful; being small enough is what makes them strong.

There are also mysterious rules of balance in the infinite primordial space. While being large in size and having strong defense, one's attack power, agility, and methods are all inferior to those of others of the same level.

For example, the "Initial Lord" has incredibly strong defense, but its attack power is only average.

There is such a balancing rule, but rules are meant to be broken. Cultivators who have transcended the confines of the world and enslave it are also breaking the rules.

"call!"

Lu Yunhe compressed his body to find the perfect balance between defense and physique while observing the changes in his body.

Unlike the lord's enlightenment path, his body was entirely created by himself.

Lu Yunhe allowed his body to evolve on its own. This body still held many secrets for him, especially the primordial life core, which concealed rules and principles that even he could not comprehend.

The life core is located at the center, gradually absorbing and releasing endless primordial energy, cleansing the entire body.

The secret runes containing the highest level of power also penetrated deep into his body.

At this moment, Lu Yunhe can be considered the progenitor of Hunyuan, and he can even pierce the bloodline of the progenitor of Hunyuan.

"The Origin World Clan?"

Lu Yunhe looked puzzled. Judging from the operation of the rules and the secret pattern system, it was indeed closer to the Origin World.

"We should be considered close relatives!"

Although his close relative also feeds on the source world, they are indeed quite closely related.

"The highest level of power I have mastered is the Three Thousand Great Dao Rules System."

He integrated the three thousand Great Daos he comprehended into his own will, and then devoured the power that was ultimately formed from dozens of Origin Worlds.

It possesses the power to evolve everything, even all kinds of great principles; it can be said to be the ultimate of everything, and also the origin of everything.

Of course, a mere primordial ancestor like Hunyuan does not yet possess such power; he only has this conceptual direction.

"Next, I can grow like the Primordial Ancestor of Primordial Chaos, and I can also continuously reincarnate and improve like the Origin World, replenishing my origin and progressing towards perfection."

"Or perhaps, like a cultivator lord, one comprehends the Great Dao of Hunyuan, and even comprehends one Hunyuan Dao after another."

Although becoming the Lord of Hunyuan requires following the path that best suits oneself and is most steadfast in one's heart, Lu Yunhe does indeed have more options.

Or rather, these are his ambitions, the forces he can resonate with.

As for immortal beings, they are not a great challenge for Lu Yunhe.

There are three ways to become an eternal being, an eternal chess player in the endless primordial space, or more precisely, two ways.

One approach is to compensate for weaknesses, thereby increasing the possibility of survival. For innate, undifferentiated life forms, this means finding a way to eliminate the weakness of their life core.

The existence of the life core endows naturally born chaotic life forms with infinite potential and great strength, but it also means that they must carry the life core in order to unleash their full power.

Without a life core, a Primordial Ancestor of Chaos can only unleash less than 30% of his power.

With this level of strength, for example, when facing a cultivator lord, or even an ordinary Primordial Ancestor, he would be easily killed. He simply does not have the ability to fight against someone of the same level.

However, if the weaknesses are compensated for, one can do what Lord Hunyuan did: create clones of different strengths and leave one at home.

Even if 90% of its strength is killed, the remaining time will only take a little time to recover, meaning it is immortal.

One of the clones hid, making it virtually impossible to find him in the vast Chaos Origin Space.

The immortality of cultivator lords is essentially the same.

Clone, clone, and more clone!

Without the constraints of the life core, all clones are the original body, and as long as one body exists, it can recover.

The second way to become immortal is by refining the mysterious land.

This mysterious place, a creation born from the endless primordial space, surpasses the existence of the Origin World. It not only possesses a terrifying origin but is also formed by the condensation of several, or even more, highest-level forces.

The original land of the cultivators, the infinite world of the Infinite Serpent Clan, and the Colossus Realm are all mysterious places.

Because of its high strength, even the combined might of the Primordial Ancestors could not destroy the Mysterious Land.

Therefore, as long as one refines the origin of the mysterious land and merges a part of one's soul with it, even if the body is destroyed, one can recover through the mysterious land, which is somewhat similar to a world-level chaotic origin.

To kill it, the mysterious place must be destroyed, but the current powerhouses of the Endless Chaos Space do not possess such power.

That's why it's stuck!

The last type is like the "original progenitor," who perfected a particular aspect to the extreme.

By compensating for fatal weaknesses, refining mysterious lands, and maximizing survival capabilities, as long as the possibility of being killed in theory is eliminated, one can achieve eternal existence.

Before this, Lu Yunhe had always thought that immortality was a very heaven-defying characteristic.

But after becoming the progenitor of Hunyuan and obtaining the inheritance information of other lords, Lu Yunhe understood that it was actually about finding a way to make someone unkillable.

No matter what means or methods are used, as long as the current progenitor-level powerhouses cannot kill you, you are an immortal being.

To put it bluntly, there is indeed only one realm, the Primordial Ancestor of Chaos, which is immortal and indestructible. This can only be considered an ability, and it cannot be considered a realm that surpasses other Primordial Ancestors.

In fact, if a Primordial Ancestor hides his life core and uses only 30% of his power each time, shamelessly and without caring about competing with other Primordial Ancestors, he is also an immortal being.

To date, no progenitor-level being has possessed the power to completely defeat another progenitor in a single battle.

If you can't beat them, can't you at least run away? Can't you at least hide? Just make sure you have more ways to save your life.

"If you think about it that way, I'm actually an immortal being. This body of mine is just an avatar!" Lu Yunhe pondered.

Even if only one clone is lost, it can be reassembled, but then he will probably have to go through the process again because he has not comprehended the Dao at the Hunyuan level.

“However, with my strength, it would be difficult for me to die.” Lu Yunhe shook his head.

Under the operation of the Three Thousand Great Dao Rules System, Lu Yunhe's body was also compressed to one percent of the true size of the Origin World.

This size is about the same as other Primordial Ancestors, so it won't interfere with the use of his many techniques, while also maintaining strong defensive capabilities.

With the restoration of the primal power, the cracks caused by the semi-self-destructed life core were also repaired.

Looking at the perfectly intact life core, Lu Yunhe nodded in satisfaction, then waved his hand, and a pile of incomparably precious resources and treasures appeared in front of him.

The cultivator faction has occupied the most prosperous part of the world cluster, which has also nurtured a vast amount of precious resources.

"The essence of creation from the primordial chaos!"

Lu Yunhe took out a grayish disc with countless primordial patterns inside, which looked very similar to a world placenta.

Inside, there was also a primordial world being nurtured, radiating an infinite aura of origin.

It is likely that the endless primordial space was originally intended to give birth to a source world, but unexpectedly, such a treasure was formed.

For beings born with a primordial chaos, those below the Primordial Chaos Ancestor can purify their bloodline and enhance their potential.

As for the Primordial Ancestor of Hunyuan, he was also able to enter a state of fetal breathing and comprehend the highest level of power contained within himself.

However, for cultivators, only those who follow the bloodline path might find it useful.

However, the effect is generally poor because practitioners need to comprehend the essence of the Hunyuan bloodline.

In other words, those advanced Chaos Origin cultivators who are on the verge of a breakthrough might exchange for a copy.

That is, people like Sirius!

Lu Yunhe swallowed the essence of creation directly into his stomach, and saw the hazy primordial power envelop his life core, instantly immersing his soul in a maternal nurturing.

The life core that forcibly evolved itself has also received a little bit of essential completion.

Although it is a return to the innate state from the acquired state, there are still many subtle differences compared to the true innate primordial life.

In this state, Lu Yunhe sensed an inexplicable affinity between himself and the Hunyuan Space.

However, before he could fully experience it, his life core had already digested the essence of creation.

"Primal Crystal Core!"

Lu Yunhe then took out another item, which was also a treasure nurtured by the endless primordial space, capable of enhancing the fundamental power of life.

Yes, the way to improve is to integrate it into the life core, thereby increasing the capacity of the life core and the body.

However, the lords' bodies are all crafted by themselves, and if they want to increase their potential, they can only rely on their own understanding of the Great Dao.

Therefore, it can only be used as an emergency measure to restore strength, but that would be too wasteful.

If a world-class Hunyuan uses it, it can accelerate cultivation, but this thing can also have an effect on the Hunyuan Ancestor.

"What if the improvement doesn't meet expectations!"

After Lu Yunhe finished digesting it, the upper limit of his own source power did increase, but since his own upper limit was too high, the increase was not significant in comparison.

However, if it were some ordinary Primordial Ancestors, the effect would be much better, and with the accumulation over the years, they could also improve their own strength.

Then Lu Yunhe took out one treasure after another that even the Primordial Ancestor of Hunyuan envied, and swallowed them without hesitation, refining them into his life core.
