Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 247: Giant Ape
That endless space of colorful light and mist.

The star-studded Tiandou Palace has stood here for over eight hundred years.

For over eight hundred years, Qi Yuan's Shangqing clone embraced the ever-flowing impact of will in the most open state, subjecting his will to intense pressure and tempering at all times.

At the same time, he was also trying to analyze the frequency, fluctuations and all other characteristics of that will impact with his 'transformation' talent, and trying to mobilize his own will to transform into this form.

They constantly experience oppression and trials, while also actively trying to transform their will towards a more perfect level.

Continuous refinement and optimization.

Finally, on this day more than eight hundred years later, his will reached a certain critical point.
"Almost."

"Almost."

Qi Yuan's will roared.

Roaring!

He felt he was about to break through his limits, just a little bit away, he was closer to breaking through than ever before!
"Breakthrough! Breakthrough for me!!!"

Qi Yuan roared with rage.

boom! ! !
Like a thunderbolt!
It was as if the endless chaotic world had instantly evolved into the universe with billions of stars and countless living beings.
this moment!
Qi Yuan's will cheered and leaped with joy. A sense of exhilaration, like a fish leaping freely in the vast sea, welled up in his heart. It was as if a divine dragon trapped in shallow waters had finally struggled out and soared into the heavens, roaming freely.

An incomparably powerful will began to spread silently from the Shangqing and Yuqing clones in the Heavenly Dou Palace, from the main body in the starry sky of Earth, and from the Taiqing clone in Chaos City!
"Hahaha……"

The pained expression that had appeared on Shangqing's clone's face due to the impact of that will quickly disappeared, replaced by an incomparably joyful smile!

"For over eight hundred years, in order to approach the limit of my will, I even temporarily stopped the cultivation of my other avatars. Finally, I have finally broken through!"

"The will of the strongest being in the universe!"

Qi Yuan silently felt that state of freedom that broke through all limitations and was unrestrained, and an incomparably 'powerful' feeling emerged in his heart.

This 'power' doesn't refer to a significant increase in his combat strength, but rather a 'power' at the biological level. It's like an insignificant ant suddenly evolving into a human who walks upright—a transformation in the form of existence!
Even the overwhelming force of his will, which had previously been too powerful for him to resist, now felt like a gentle breeze, no longer able to exert any pressure on him.

"Haha, finally a breakthrough!"

At this moment, Qi Yuan was in an extremely cheerful mood!

A transformation of will is of great benefit, whether in cultivation or combat.

At least for me now, firstly, after the breakthrough in my will, the impact of this colorful light mist space on my will no longer be a pressure for me, and I can further explore the secrets of this mysterious space.

Secondly, with his powerful will controlling his consciousness, his speed of deduction and thinking will be greatly improved, making it much easier for him to study the original star map, the nine hundred volumes of "Array Dao", and so on.

Although he had previously obtained the heaven-defying 'virtual universe' cultivation method from that primordial ancestor, he was unable to cultivate it due to insufficient willpower. Now, however, his willpower has broken through to the level of the strongest in the universe, and he has finally barely met the entry requirements for cultivating this secret method!

This incredibly powerful virtual universe is astonishing, even compared to the legacy of some ancient civilizations. If I successfully cultivate this secret technique, my strength will definitely see a significant boost!

"Let's not worry about the rest for now, let's explore what mysteries lie ahead!"

If even the distant impact of will can reach such a powerful level, there must be an extremely special place ahead, and that place is very likely the source of this opportunity!
"go ahead!"

Whoosh!
The Shangqing clone, piloting the Heavenly Dou Palace, advanced rapidly, heading directly towards the source of the impact of that will.

As he continued to advance, the intensity of that will-shaking impact also increased. However, in front of Qi Yuan, who had already completed his will-shaping transformation, it could no longer pose any obstacle to him!

Flying, the Heavenly Palace continued to fly at a speed a hundred times faster than light.

"Thump!" "Thump!" "Thump!"...

The dull rumble, like the striking of a heavy hammer or the beating of a giant drum, grew ever louder, echoing in all directions, as if the entire mysterious space was filled with this endless roar!

Continuous flight...

After another continuous flight lasting more than a month.

At the edge of that ever-expanding Dream Light Realm, something different finally came into contact with—

It resembled a vast, floating continent of black metal...

Initially, the light domain of the Dream Realm could only cover a corner of the Black Metal Continent. This vast continent was riddled with deep trenches, countless enormous ravines of varying depths twisting and crisscrossing, making the entire surface appear fragmented and broken. "The Black Continent."

The Shangqing clone, who controlled the Dream Light Realm, was slightly invigorated and quickly steered the Heavenly Dou Palace to continue approaching.

After more than an hour of flight, as the Dream Light Realm continued to expand, even more scenes entered the range of perception.

On one side of that black metal continent, an incomparably majestic, endless crimson mountain gradually began to take shape.

The entire crimson mountain wall was trembling slightly.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
The sound of the giant hammer striking echoed through the crimson mountain wall, its tremendous roar reverberating throughout the entire world!

Even at such a great distance, and even though Qi Yuan's will had broken through to the level of the strongest in the universe, he still felt dizzy and lightheaded.

"What an incredibly powerful sense of oppression that mountain wall is! Is that the source of all the shockwaves and that enormous sound?"

Shangqing's clone continued to approach the Heavenly Dou Palace, and as it got closer, the Dream Light Realm expanded, and he began to fully perceive the scenery ahead.

However, as the scene ahead fully entered Qi Yuan's perception, an uncontrollable storm surged within him!

The towering, seemingly endless crimson mountain wall that had just appeared in my perception was not a mountain wall at all!
That was clearly a magnificent figure seated cross-legged on an endless black metal platform!
The figure was incredibly magnificent, clad in crimson armor that resembled blood jade. On the backs of his bare hands and cheeks, countless equally crimson and dazzling hairs grew. A single black horn on his head pointed menacingly towards the sky, making him resemble an enormous and majestic mountain!

Its entire form is remarkably similar to an ancient giant ape with red hair and a single horn!
However, the figure of this 'giant ape' was simply too enormous. Even when it was sitting cross-legged, its height was definitely more than one light-year!

A towering figure exceeding one light-year in height—what does that even mean?
Even the solar system that Qi Yuan is familiar with, even if you include the entire gravitational region of the solar system, its radius is only about one light-year!

In other words, if this magnificent figure were to stand up, it would be almost as large as the entire solar system!
What a breathtaking scene this is!
"This is outrageous, absolutely outrageous! Is this really the size a normal living being could achieve?"

Inside the Heavenly Dou Palace, the gaze of the Shangqing clone couldn't help but flicker slightly.

Even though Qi Yuan had seen many colossal beings with divine bodies spanning millions or tens of millions of kilometers since arriving in this world, compared to the figure before him, he was merely an ant at the feet of a giant elephant!
One light-year, which is more than nine trillion kilometers!

Note that it's not 90,000, nor 900 million, it's 9 trillion!

Even with Qi Yuan's divine body now possessing ten thousand times the perfect genes, his altitude is only a little over ninety thousand kilometers.

In other words, even when sitting, the figure in front of us is a hundred million times taller than Qi Yuan's perfect divine body!
How exaggerated!

The entire primordial universe, and even the cosmic sea, is where the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, who cannot be judged by ordinary standards, is able to rival him in terms of sheer size thanks to his unique Endless Netherworld Divine Body.

Of all the other life forms Qi Yuan had ever heard of, none could reach this scale.

The existence of this towering figure before him was completely beyond Qi Yuan's imagination!

Among the various perilous places in the Cosmic Sea, there are also some strange life forms.

Like the Lava Demon God that Luo Feng encountered in the Annihilation God Ravine in the original work, whose massive body alone was enough to make even the strongest beings in the universe, who possessed the most powerful treasures, flee in disarray.

The Lava Demon God was only about 10 billion kilometers tall, which was incomparable to the figure in front of us!
"That's...that's way too exaggerated!"

Qi Yuan was filled with nothing but shock!

Even though the pressure of the cosmic sea dimension is vastly different from that of the Origin Continent, being able to reach a size of 'light-year' here means that even if one were to return to the Origin Continent, their divine body would reach an extremely exaggerated level!

"This is definitely an extremely powerful being from the ancient civilization legion that traveled on the spaceship!" Qi Yuan instantly made a judgment.

At the same time, an uncontrollable ecstasy began to spread wildly in his heart—

Such a powerful and terrifying being, even a single hair or a drop of blood from him could be considered an endless opportunity!
Even if there were no other gains in this space, just obtaining a 'remains' of such a terrifying being would be enough to make Qi Yuan ecstatic!

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
A deep, muffled sound came from the figure of the 'giant ape'. The dense muffled sounds were like the beating of a giant drum, or the heartbeat of some incredibly huge creature!

"My heart is pounding!"

Qi Yuan was startled by his own thoughts!
God!

If such a massive creature were still alive and had a heartbeat, it would be a truly terrifying thing!

"It's impossible for them to be alive. The spaceship was destroyed countless epochs ago, and the ancient civilizations that were on board were also wiped out long ago. It's impossible for them to have survived."

As Shangqing's clone thought this, he then saw the figure of the 'Ancient Giant Ape' sitting cross-legged, its eyelids trembling slightly before slowly opening.
