Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 134 Heaven and Earth, Completed

Zhou Yang's pupils shone brightly; at this moment, he seemed to have discovered a path that was perfectly suited to him!

If one could use the Dao of Derivation to unleash the Dao of 'Array Space' in the Stellar Transformation World, wouldn't that be equivalent to mastering a weakened version of controlling spacetime?

That power must be incredibly monstrous!

"To truly form a world of its own, it should be based on eight fundamental primordial forces, and through specific structures, combinations, flows, and fusions, ultimately achieve perfect balance, evolving into an independent space and time!"

Zhou Yang began to quickly deduce the feasibility of this idea in his mind, and soon he made a decision!

"At my current cultivation speed, it will be extremely easy for me to comprehend the Law of Wood and break through to immortality before the lifespan of a Realm Lord reaches its limit, so there's nothing to rush."

"And I have long planned to comprehend the Ten Fundamental Laws during my Realm Lord stage and attempt the path of law fusion, which seems to have some similarities with this 'Array Space' method, so—"

Why not give it a try!

Zhou Yang is extremely decisive; once he has made up his mind, there is no reason for him to delay.

"The first step is to begin comprehending the other eight fundamental laws and elevate them to a certain level!"

Within his inner world, ten clones quickly sat cross-legged in a circle.

At the center of their circle, a fist-sized, nine-colored divine stone floated in the air, radiating wisps of hazy, colorful light.

This is a magical treasure, the "Chaos Stone," also known as the "Enlightenment Stone," that Zhou Yang obtained during his cosmic-level cultivation mission in the "Mysterious Galaxy."

Under the hazy glow of the Enlightenment Stone, he clearly felt that the clarity of his ten clones' perception of the fundamental laws had suddenly increased by a large margin!

With a thought, he separated a wisp of his consciousness to communicate with the origin of the universe.

The clarity has increased dramatically!

The ten clones began to comprehend the ten fundamental laws of origin.

Furthermore, through continuous cultivation of the "Three Souls and Nine Refinements," his soul has grown to the point where it is comparable to the avatar of an immortal god at the Marquis level!

With these multiple blessings, the speed at which each clone comprehends the fundamental laws increases dramatically!

Even the other eight laws besides wood and void, his comprehension speed is already comparable to that of the most outstanding world lord-level geniuses!

"According to my plan, to develop a method similar to 'array space,' one would need to master at least all eight basic combinations and transformations of lower-level laws. The workload of this deduction would probably be hundreds of millions of times greater than simply deducing the combination of the wood and void laws!"

Zhou Yang smiled bitterly to himself, realizing he really knew how to make things difficult for himself.

However, now that we have a clear direction, we can only move forward without hesitation!

"Next, my main body and all other avatars will focus all their energy on combining and structuring the ten fundamental laws!"

Once the route is clear, the next step is to spend time and effort researching it.

The realm lord level is the time when it is easiest to comprehend the laws.

With the blessing of the Enlightenment Stone and the power of his soul, his comprehension of the other eight fundamental laws quickly crossed the threshold and improved at an incredible speed.

A year later, the sensitivity to these eight laws gradually increased to the level of the fourth level of the Sky Bridge.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yang has already figured out 4410 basic pairwise combinations from these eight principles and has begun to try to deduce their variations.

This is an extremely tedious process.

It's important to know that each basic combination method can be combined with other combination methods in pairs, in groups of two or three, or in groups of three. The variations are virtually endless!

Even with Zhou Yang's abnormally powerful main soul, plus the assistance of nearly a hundred clones, he still felt dizzy and disoriented when faced with such a terrifying amount of calculations.

Being immersed in tedious and complicated deductions all day long is an indescribable torment.

So he started going out for "fresh air" from time to time.

Whenever he reached a bottleneck in his understanding or deduction, he would leave the cave where he was hiding and go to fight the immortal gods around him.

Firstly, it's to test the results of my insights and practice, and to find inspiration to break through bottlenecks.

Secondly, it's also an opportunity to vent one's frustrations.

In this way, Zhou Yang would go out to fight once every year or two of comprehension.

The number of powerful individuals on the Nine Fiends Continent is many times greater than that in the Shattered Star Belt.

The continent he resides on, number 013, is one of the top-ranked fragments of the Nine Fiends Continent, naturally harboring an unbelievable number of hidden powerhouses.

Zhou Yang could easily find immortal gods to fight.

With his current understanding of the laws, comparable to that of an ordinary King-level Immortal, once he unleashes the first level of the "Secret Scripture of the Dao of Derivation," he can directly kill even the most powerful Immortal Army Lord!

Moreover, as he delved deeper into the Dao of Derivation, his power gradually increased.

Zhou Yang was immersed in a fulfilling life of cultivation, understanding the Dharma, and fighting.

Nearly five hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the course of nearly five hundred years, Zhou Yang not only raised the eight new fundamental laws he comprehended to a level comparable to the 15th floor of the Tongtian Bridge, but also went out to hunt and fight more than a thousand times!

In over a thousand battles, at least five or six hundred immortal gods at the level of military lords were killed!

The reason for this number is that, over the next three hundred years, he set his sights on achieving the status of a Marquis-level immortal.

The Marquis-level Immortal already possesses an "immortal body," while Zhou Yang lacks immortal divine power. Without revealing the Myriad Manifestations Tower, he currently has no effective means to annihilate the opponent's "immortal body."

Therefore, in subsequent battles, he did not pursue killing, but rather focused on testing his understanding of cultivation.

After thousands of battles, Zhou Yang's reputation spread far and wide!

All the powerful alien races within a radius of nearly one trillion kilometers around his stronghold knew that a new 'Marquis-level' expert had appeared there!

This powerful figure had a great fondness for killing. In just two or three hundred years, he had killed five or six hundred immortal powerhouses, including over a hundred peak military lord immortals!

Moreover, this human powerhouse possesses extremely strong survival skills.

Three mechanical race immortals, who had been granted the title of Marquis, once ambushed an ordinary military lord immortal by hiding inside his world ring.

The moment the human appeared, they immediately unleashed their immortal divine power to launch a deadly attack on him!

They did succeed. Seeing that he could not escape, the human Marquis simply self-destructed.

However, what they didn't expect was that just half a month later, that human powerhouse reappeared and launched a harassing attack against them that lasted for nearly three hundred years.

At this moment, everyone realized that the three mechanical immortals had only killed an avatar of the human powerhouse.

Inside a mountain cave shrouded by the Immortal-level Cloud Vine, Zhou Yang sat cross-legged on the ground, his consciousness immersed in endless deductions through the Dao Derivation Disc in his hand.

At the same time, a wisp of consciousness, through mental resonance, was continuously observing the 'Original True Explanation' diagram within the ancient god's avatar.

This picture contains a hint of the fusion of the Five Elements, and continuous observation of it has provided Zhou Yang with a lot of inspiration for his deductions and understanding.

"The eight basic principles of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, and light constitute the first stage, which includes 4410 basic pair combinations."

"By using 4410 basic combinations, one can deduce almost an endless number of variations!"

"Based on the Five Elements, a basic spatial framework is constructed, with the wind blowing, time turning, and thunder being born, forming a basic time scale."

Based on his vision, Zhou Yang continuously adjusted the combination of various fundamental methods.

Gradually, it seemed he grasped something, and the speed of his deductions began to increase, accelerating continuously.

At one point, as if struck by a sudden inspiration, a moment of enlightenment welled up in his mind!

"go!"

With a wave of his hand, he sent countless miniature silver stars flying out of the Dao-Elucidating Disc and rapidly dispersing them throughout the cave.

Immediately afterwards, streams of world power shot out from within his body, rapidly connecting among the silver stars.

At the same time, Zhou Yang's consciousness stirred, and he quickly activated the fundamental laws.

Densely packed secret threads of gold, green, blue, red, cyan, purple, and white began to intertwine and connect rapidly.

The power of the five elements circulated continuously, as if opening up a hazy space.

Wind, light, and thunder brew in this space, seemingly giving it a special vitality.

The first level of the secret technique—Heaven and Earth—is complete!
