Chapter 597 Gift of Talent, Impact of Will
Chapter 597 Gift of Talent, Impact of Will
The energy of the mermaid tears and the blood crystal surged wildly into the spiritual embryo, causing the originally calm embryo to tremble violently and accelerate its speed under their catalytic effect.
In other words, Chu Yang has now broken through to the Universe Venerable Realm and his divine body has been fully transformed. Otherwise, with so much energy rushing in at once, it would be difficult for his divine body not to be burst!
Chu Yang quickly activated his secret technique, guiding the violent energy to slowly integrate it into the spiritual embryo.
However, at that moment, something unexpected happened!
In the Third Divine Kingdom, the life tree that blotted out the sky suddenly shone brightly, and countless emerald green light threads shot out from its branches, like thousands of tentacles, surging into Chu Yang's body and finally converging into his spiritual embryo.
"This is... how come I didn't notice it before? Could it be because I broke through to the Cosmic Venerable Realm?"
Chu Yang was shocked. The feedback power of this Tree of Life was even purer than Mermaid Tears and Blood Crystal, and its catalytic effect was even stronger than the two!
With the support of this life force, the transformation of the spiritual embryo accelerated dramatically. The spiritual embryo, which had been trembling slightly, began to beat violently, like a bomb about to explode.
Chu Yang's expression was solemn as he carefully controlled the surging power within his body, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
The faster the spiritual embryo transforms, the higher the requirements for its divine body become!
He knew that the crucial moment for the spiritual embryo's transformation had arrived.
Time ticked by, and Chu Yang felt as if his body was being torn apart, in excruciating pain.
Finally, a crisp sound rang out inside his body, like the sound of glass shattering, and a small crack appeared on the surface of the spiritual embryo.
Then, a second, a third... more and more cracks appeared on the surface of the spirit embryo, as dense as a spider web.
Chu Yang was overjoyed, knowing that the spiritual embryo was about to break free from its cocoon and be reborn!
"Break!" Chu Yang roared, mobilizing all his strength to impact the already riddled spiritual embryo.
boom!
With a loud bang, the spiritual embryo shattered, turning into specks of starlight that dissipated within Chu Yang's body.
At the center of the shattered spiritual embryo, an even more radiant spiritual embryo slowly coalesced and took shape.
The newborn spirit embryo emitted a soft light, illuminating Chu Yang's inner world, like a newly risen sun.
Chu Yang felt an unprecedented power surge into his body, and his life gene level was raised again, reaching 10,081 times, officially meeting the requirements of the original universe's bestowal.
However, after reaching 10,081 times, Chu Yang felt that he could no longer improve, as if he had reached a limit.
Before Chu Yang could think too much, in the next instant, his consciousness blurred, and he found himself in another place!
Chu Yang found himself in a state of chaos, surrounded by a rich primordial energy of the universe, as if he were in the mother body of the universe.
This energy was incredibly pure, far surpassing any energy he had absorbed before.
"Is this the land bestowed by the primordial universe?" Chu Yang wondered to himself.
Only those with a genetic level 10,081 times stronger can enter this place, receive the baptism of the universe's origin, and obtain unique talent secrets.
A strange primal power surged into his body, like a gentle stream, nourishing every cell.
Chu Yang closed his eyes, carefully sensing the flow of this power, trying to understand its mysteries.
Just then, a torrent of information flooded into Chu Yang's mind, like a sudden awakening, instantly resolving the doubts in his heart.
This message was not simply words or images, but a profound insight that was directly imprinted on the depths of his soul.
"Virtualization...of the world!"
Chu Yang murmured those four words, a flash of understanding appearing in his eyes.
This is the innate secret technique bestowed upon him by the primordial universe—the ethereal world!
Using his divine power and will, he constructs a fictional world, drawing his enemies into it and causing them to fall into ruin.
The stronger Chu Yang's will is, the stronger his enemies can be.
This means that as long as the enemy's will is not higher than his, they will be at his mercy!
Chu Yang's will is currently at the level of a peak Universe Lord. In other words, if he uses this talent, he can firmly control any powerhouse whose will is lower than that of a peak Universe Lord!
"This...this is simply unbelievable!"
Chu Yang was overjoyed; the power of this innate secret technique far exceeded his imagination.
When Luo Feng's divine body gene multiplier reached 10,081 times, he obtained the innate secret technique "I Am the Universe". When he used "I Am the Universe", his divine body would instantly transform into a miniature universe. Within this universe, enemies would be greatly restricted!
However, this joy did not last long and was soon overshadowed by another piece of information.
"This illusory world requires a great deal of divine power; it consumes almost 10% of one's divine body every ten seconds of its activation."
"Nearly 10% of divine power in ten seconds?" Chu Yang muttered to himself, his brows furrowed.
This innate secret technique is absolutely powerful, but it also has huge limitations.
With his current reserves of divine power as a cosmic lord, he can only maintain it for a maximum of one hundred seconds.
Moreover, it's impossible to completely expend divine power on this innate secret technique during battle.
"That means I can only use it two or three times at most, each time lasting twenty to thirty seconds..."
Chu Yang thought to himself, "Moreover, I can't exhaust my divine power, otherwise I'll really become a lamb to the slaughter."
This means that he must be extremely cautious and must not use this innate secret technique unless absolutely necessary.
"However, even if it can only be used a few times, it's enough to turn the tide in many situations."
Chu Yang's eyes gleamed. With this trump card, his ability to survive in the primordial universe and beyond would be greatly enhanced.
"One second is roughly 1% of divine power consumed, which isn't a lot, but it's not a little either! It might really turn the tide in a critical moment."
Chu Yang thought to himself, although this illusory world was extremely expensive, its effects were indeed miraculous.
Imagine a cosmic ruler whose will is weaker than his own, suddenly trapped in a fabricated world of his own making, completely at the mercy of others...
Chu Yang couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a somewhat wicked smile. Not all universe lords have such an unbreakable will; some third- or fourth-tier universe lords might not actually have a stronger will than him.
Splash!
Chu Yang's consciousness fluctuated, as if he had been suddenly pulled out by an invisible hand, and in the blink of an eye he left that chaotic land.
"Tsk tsk, after bestowing upon me the secret technique, you're in such a hurry to get rid of me. How heartless!"
Chu Yang couldn't help but complain. He found himself back in the same place he had been before, still in that vast and boundless spatial interlayer. Chu Yang's four divine kingdoms were not far away!
In a flash, he returned to the divine realm.
Chu Yang sat cross-legged in the spatial interlayer, his vast divine power surging within him like a series of dormant dragons.
He closed his eyes and tried to mobilize his divine power according to the secret information about the "illusory world" in his mind.
At first, the divine power was like a wild horse, running rampant and unable to be constructed into a stable world according to his will.
After several attempts, he not only failed to construct a virtual world, but also consumed a large amount of divine power, causing him to frown.
But the Tree of Life poured down boundless energy, restoring him to his original state in the blink of an eye.
"This innate secret technique is much harder to control than I imagined!" Chu Yang couldn't help but curse, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
He refused to believe it and continued to try.
Once, twice, three times...
With each attempt, Chu Yang carefully controlled his divine power, striving to make it follow the trajectory specified in the secret technique's information.
Finally, on the tenth attempt, a faint fluctuation appeared before him.
It was a vague, nascent world, radiating out for nearly ten million kilometers, like the beginning of chaos, its interior a hazy blur, as if shrouded in a thick veil!
Although it was simple, Chu Yang could clearly feel his control over this world, just like he controlled his own body!
"It's done!" Chu Yang was overjoyed!
Three seconds later, this illusory world vanished into nothingness. Perhaps three seconds is too short, but it is enough for a cosmic sovereign or a cosmic master!
In the time that followed, Chu Yang kept trying, building it again and again, only to fail time and time again.
Each time, he carefully observed the changes and constantly adjusted the way he output and controlled his divine power.
Finally, he gradually mastered the technique, and the duration of the "illusory world" became longer and longer, from three seconds to five seconds, and then to ten seconds...
With the divine power of the Tree of Life replenishing him, Chu Yang no longer worries about the depletion of his divine power within the divine kingdom.
"It's time to find a test subject."
Chu Yang smiled wickedly, and with a thought, summoned his servant—the High Universe Venerable Tucker—from his divine kingdom.
With Chu Yang's various resources and the access to his secret techniques, Tucker's strength has increased to a new level, but he is still some distance away from becoming a cosmic overlord.
Tucker knelt respectfully before Chu Yang: "Master, what are your orders?"
Chu Yang ignored Tucker's obsequiousness and directly pulled him into the newly constructed "virtual world".
Tucker felt a blur before his eyes, and the scenery around him suddenly changed.
He was originally in a vast spatial interlayer, but in the blink of an eye he found himself in a chaotic world, surrounded by mist and fog, as if he were in the beginning of the universe.
However, at that moment, an extremely powerful force of will surged forth.
boom!
Tucker felt an invisible, immense force crashing into his soul, as if a towering mountain were pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.
His consciousness instantly blurred, as if he had fallen into a chaotic swamp, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably, like a leaf fluttering in the wind.
In this chaos, he lost all perception of the outside world, and was enveloped only by endless fear and despair.
"Hmm, this feels... good."
Chu Yang watched Tucker struggle in pain, a satisfied smile appearing on his lips.
At this moment, Tucker was like a fish on a chopping board, completely at everyone's mercy. He could even feel that if he increased his willpower slightly, he could easily crush Tucker's soul and cause him to perish completely.
"Well, he was a servant I put a lot of effort into training, it would be a shame for him to die like this."
Chu Yang shook his head and dissipated the illusory world.
Tucker's vision blurred, and he found himself back in the spatial interlayer, where his master, Chu Yang, was looking at him with a half-smile.
"What... just happened?"
Tucker looked bewildered. He had no recollection of what had just happened and felt dizzy, as if he had just had a nightmare.
"It's nothing, just letting you experience my new secret technique."
Chu Yang said calmly, "How do you feel?"
"I feel..." Tucker tried to recall what had just happened, but found his mind blank and he couldn't remember anything.
"I...I don't know, Master."
He could only answer honestly.
"It seems your willpower is still too weak."
Chu Yang was slightly disappointed and shook his head, saying, "Even my illusory world can't withstand it, so it's completely unsuitable as a test subject."
After watching Tucker leave, Chu Yang sat cross-legged and began to reflect on the advantages and disadvantages of the "virtual world".
"Although Tucker's experiment did not provide much useful information, it at least proved the power of this secret technique."
Chu Yang thought to himself, "Once I pull the enemy into the illusory world, I can completely suppress their will and make them at my mercy."
It's an invincible weapon for assassinations and surprise attacks!
Thinking of this, Chu Yang couldn't help but smile.
"With this trick, I'll have a better chance of survival when I go to the Cosmic Sea in the future."
Chu Yang thought to himself: The Cosmic Sea is a dangerous place where powerful people gather. Even the Lord of the Universe may perish at any time.
The appearance of the "Virtual World" undoubtedly adds a powerful trump card to his portfolio.
"My spiritual embryo has now successfully reached the third level of tempering, but due to the limitations of the cosmic will, it's currently stuck at 10081 times the genetic multiplier. The strength I can exert now is probably comparable to a second-tier universe lord! If I were to acquire a few decent treasures, even a third-tier universe lord wouldn't be able to do anything to me!"
"This breakthrough to the Universe Venerable realm has been a tremendous boost to my abilities!"
Chu Yang took a deep breath. After years of cultivation, he had finally achieved the strength he possessed at this moment.
"We can tell my senior brother the news now!"
Chu Yang smiled slightly, as if he could already see the Chaos City Lord's astonished expression when he learned of his strength.
"Let's go to the initial universe. It'll be a good opportunity to exchange for these unused treasures!"
After being teleported, Chu Yang returned to the palace in Chaos City.
Swish!
Before Chu Yang could contact his senior brother, the Lord of Chaos City, the Lord of Chaos City teleported to his side first.
The Chaos City Lord's gaze was sharp as he looked Chu Yang up and down, a barely suppressed joy appearing on his lips: "You've broken through?"
Chu Yang smiled slightly and bowed: "I've been fortunate enough to make a breakthrough, and I must thank you, Senior Brother, for your guidance over the years."
The Lord of Chaos City laughed heartily, stepped forward, and patted Chu Yang heavily on the shoulder: "Good! Good! Good! To break through to the Universe Venerable realm in less than three epochs, you are truly a treasure of our human race!"
This time, Chu Yang's transaction with Yue Shan Overlord was destined to be extraordinary, and seeing Chu Yang return smoothly and even break through to the Venerable Realm, he knew that Chu Yang had succeeded!
The Lord of Chaos City didn't ask much about the specific process, but Chu Yang took the initiative to explain his breakthrough. Of course, he didn't mention a word about the secret of the "Virtual World".
This was his trump card for survival, so he couldn't easily reveal it to others.
However, when describing his strength after the breakthrough, he intentionally or unintentionally displayed a hint of aura comparable to a second-tier universe lord, which secretly shocked the Chaos City Lord. (End of Chapter)
