Conquest Part 1
Chapter 230 First Conquest
Tens of light-years away from Earth, under a starry sky.
Su Yuan sat cross-legged. Although he did not emit a trace of aura, the power of the supreme Yin and supreme Yang rules was faintly intertwined and swirling around him. In a daze, there was also a hazy aura of destruction permeating the air.
This is a pure influence on the supreme rules, much like a black hole, capable of affecting vast swathes of space without doing anything.
hum~
Su Yuan opened his eyes, and in an instant, everything returned to calm. The power of extreme yang and yin dissipated, and the aura of destruction was concealed.
"Two hundred years."
Su Yuan's gaze was calm. Two hundred years was nothing to a stellar life form, not even as long as a single sleep.
But in Su Yuan's eyes, it was a very long time. How many years had he actually lived?
"The Supreme Yang Rule. The Supreme Yin Rule."
A large sun faintly appeared deep within Su Yuan's left eye, and a large moon faintly appeared deep within his right eye.
The term "Great Sun and Great Moon" here does not refer to celestial bodies such as stars, but rather to a specific manifestation of the supreme Yang and supreme Yin rules.
Whether it is the supreme Yang rule, the supreme Yin rule, or any other supreme rule, there are countless forms, and each form leads to the supreme rule itself.
At this moment, Su Yuan's eyes revealed his true nature, which was both extremely yang and extremely yin.
It is obvious that he has thoroughly comprehended the supreme rules of yang and yin.
Su Yuan's thoughts were in turmoil as he looked at the gray mirror deep within his consciousness.
[Destructive Power: 100%]
[Ultimate Yang Power: 100%]
[Yin Power: 100%]
[Power of Causality: 79%]
Having fully comprehended the three supreme rules, Su Yuan only needs to step into the realm of cosmic life to become a Saint in the later stages. As for a Great Saint? Over the past two hundred years, Su Yuan has almost completely integrated the Yin and Yang aspects.
Once one becomes a cosmic life form, one only needs to integrate the supreme rules of destruction into the ultimate yang and yin to become a cosmic sage on the mainstream path.
This illustrates the importance of fundamental knowledge and foundation. Su Yuan comprehended the extremes of Yin and Yang at the stage of stellar life or even planetary life, seemingly wasting a lot of time.
In reality, all of these have become part of one's own foundation, which will only be fully unleashed when one enters the level of cosmic life, thus leading to a meteoric rise.
It should be understood that a normal Saint at the initial stage only comprehends one supreme rule. To comprehend a second supreme rule would require an immense amount of effort and time.
Next, there is a third supreme rule, and the most difficult one is to merge with the supreme rule.
"The supreme rule of cause and effect."
Su Yuan looked at his own insights into the supreme rule of cause and effect.
In the cultivation plan devised by the gray mirror, the supreme rule of cause and effect was the fourth supreme rule that Su Yuan was to comprehend. The importance of cause and effect becomes more and more important the closer one gets to the supreme being of chaos.
Su Yuan can postpone comprehending the supreme rules of space, but he will never give up on the supreme rules of cause and effect.
"Cause and Effect of All Beings, Cause and Effect of the Universe"
Su Yuan shook his head slightly. Even though he was always on the right path during the process of comprehending the truth, he still found it difficult.
The supreme rule of cause and effect is the most difficult supreme rule to comprehend besides time. It is almost impossible to fully understand it at any stage of life in the universe.
Only those who reach the highest level of chaos, whose physical size surpasses everything, can successfully comprehend the supreme rules of cause and effect.
Once one comprehends the supreme rule of cause and effect, one possesses various means to disregard space, which is one of the most terrifying aspects of the supreme being of chaos.
"However, for me, comprehending 90% of the supreme rule of cause and effect is enough."
Su Yuan thought to himself, the comprehension of the supreme rules becomes more and more difficult as you go further. After 90%, the difficulty of each 1% exceeds the sum of the previous ones.
Especially the last 1% and 2%, which have trapped countless saints, not to mention that they are the supreme rule of cause and effect.
"My Inner World"
Su Yuan diverted his attention to the world within his body.
After two hundred years of uninterrupted cultivation, Su Yuan's inner world has now expanded to a radius of 360 billion li.
It should be known that the limit of a normal genius's stellar life is only a diameter of one hundred million miles, while Su Yuan's inner world has already reached a diameter of 360 billion miles.
In terms of diameter alone, it is already 3,600 times that of a normal genius stellar life form; in terms of size and volume, it is countless billions of times greater.
In Su Yuan's eyes, the peak lifespan of ordinary stars could be annihilated with a single breath.
The two sides are not even on the same level.
"The resources consumed over the years."
Su Yuan's lips twitched slightly. Even though he had already seen the details clearly from the gray mirror, he was still slightly astonished when he saw that treasures equivalent to the peak of a stellar life or even the entire fortune of a saint were being fed into his inner world.
Taking advantage of the opportunities to wage war among human races, and the terrifying power of the Nine-Aperture Exquisite to destroy the Holy Spirit's clone, they continuously made military achievements and obtained massive amounts of resources for exchange.
Only then can the consumption of external resources by the human body in Su Yuan be satisfied.
Without this war, Su Yuan would have had to incur some karmic debts to have cultivated to his current level so smoothly.
For example, directly demanding from human groups, thus owing human groups a debt of cause and effect.
For example, opening those precious treasures incurs a karmic debt to the treasure's owner.
Over the past two hundred years, Su Yuan has consumed resources that are dozens of times the wealth of a normal Great Sage in the universe.
Of course, all these expenses are worthwhile.
"My current strength."
Su Yuan examined himself, relying on his understanding of the three supreme rules and the support of his vast inner world.
Even though Su Yuan has not yet broken through to become a cosmic life form, his combat strength is no weaker than that of an ordinary initial-stage saint.
What kind of monstrous and twisted creature is this?
Even though it is the 'darling' of the supreme rules and the most skilled in attack, the Destruction Holy Spirit, before reaching maturity, is merely the invincible combat power of a stellar life form. With the addition of the many secret techniques perfectly matched by the gray mirror, it can at most exchange a few blows with a Saint of the initial realm.
Is it directly comparable to a Saint of the Initial Realm?
Is the life stage of a stellar being comparable to that of a Saint in the initial realm?
This era of great destruction has never occurred before. Creators like the Dragon Ancestor and Phoenix Ancestor were born as saints, making them incomparable.
However, Su Yuan himself was also aware that his combat power was not entirely due to his own efforts; the Holy Spirit of Destruction also provided a great deal of assistance.
Su Yuan's insights into the Supreme Rules of Destruction came from the Holy Spirit of Destruction. The Supreme Rules of Destruction are inherently adept at killing, although Su Yuan's application of the Supreme Rules of Destruction is far inferior to that of the Holy Spirit of Destruction.
However, if the supreme rules were not destroyed, Su Yuan's combat power would drop significantly.
"The inner world has reached its limit, and the six dimensions of life have also reached their limits. The two supreme rules of ultimate yang and ultimate yin have been fully comprehended. Next..."
Su Yuan once again asked the gray mirror deep within his sea of consciousness, "When will I break through to the level of a cosmic life form? Will I be guaranteed to succeed, and will it be a perfect breakthrough?"
The transition from stellar life to cosmic life is not as straightforward as the transition from interstellar life to stellar life, where failure means certain death.
However, failure would also be a devastating blow to stellar life.
When Su Yuan's Nine Apertures Exquisite Destroyed the Holy Spirit's Avatar and stepped into the realm of cosmic life, he felt so relaxed and at ease because he was the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit becoming a cosmic life is not a breakthrough or leap in the essence of life, but a natural growth, and success is inevitable. But what about stellar life outside the Holy Spirit? Entering the realm of cosmic life is a metamorphosis and qualitative change; even if many conditions before the breakthrough are met, there is still a chance of failure.
Of course, with Su Yuan's current foundation, breaking through to the level of cosmic life is virtually guaranteed, with no possibility of failure.
However, Su Yuan's goal was not a successful breakthrough, but a perfect breakthrough.
The transition from stellar life to cosmic life involves a comprehensive transformation and leap in life. The more perfect the breakthrough, the greater the benefit to the cosmic life stage.
A breakthrough in one month will be a perfect breakthrough.
The gray mirror surface churns and ripples, offering its answer.
"A month?"
"Was it thanks to that great epiphany?"
Su Yuan immediately understood.
The so-called sudden enlightenment is when a person's mind and consciousness merge with the origin of the universe. In this instant state, the cultivator's comprehension will surge.
While enlightenment is desirable, most cultivators only experience it a few times in their lifetime, and even if an opportunity for enlightenment exists, it can be missed due to various external factors.
Enlightenment is further divided into minor enlightenment and major enlightenment. The difference between the two lies in the degree of divine connection with the origin of the universe.
With the help of the gray mirror, Su Yuan knew the specific time and opportunity of each of his minor and major epiphanies, thus enabling him to seize every opportunity for enlightenment.
One month later, it will be the time for Su Yuan's great enlightenment. At that time, he will merge with the origin of the universe and observe all things from the perspective of the universe, including breaking through to the level of cosmic life.
"Before becoming a chaotic being, I had two opportunities for great enlightenment, one in a month and the other in 1,200 years."
Su Yuan's thoughts were in turmoil. He had used both of these opportunities for enlightenment to break through to the next level. The former was to go from stellar life to cosmic life, and the latter was to go from cosmic life to chaotic life.
"Upon achieving a perfect breakthrough, the instant I become a cosmic life form, my physical body will transform into the Yin-Yang Sacred Body, which is currently one of the most powerful cosmic sacred bodies."
Su Yuan thought to himself that what could be compared to it were the holy bodies of the various supreme rules 'Holy Spirits', as well as the holy bodies recorded in the inheritance of the supreme beings.
For example, among the royal families of the Primordial Universe Human Empire, one of their sacred bodies is the Primordial Sacred Body, which is a cosmic sacred body created by the Supreme Being 'Chu'. Unfortunately, since the beginning of the Primordial Universe Human Empire, there are less than a hundred Great Saints of the Universe who have cultivated this sacred body.
After perfecting the secret technique of the Primordial Universe, the Great Sage of the Supreme Heaven has a chance to condense the Primordial Sacred Body before attempting to break through to the level of Chaotic Life.
There is also the Demon Mountain Holy Body of the Demon Mountain Universe Human Empire, a Demon Mountain Holy Body at the Great Sage level, which is ten light-years in size. The enormous size means absolute power. A physical holy body ten light-years in size could probably make a group of Great Sages tremble with a casual wave of its hand.
Normally speaking, every Great Sage of the Demon Mountain Holy Body can be considered the 'most powerful' in their era.
Of course, the Holy Body of the Demon Mountain has not appeared for a very long time.
To cultivate the Demon Mountain Holy Body, the prerequisites are too high, and one must also give up certain things to have any hope of achieving it.
For example, speed?
The Great Sage with the Demon Mountain Holy Body is very slow, slower than ordinary Great Sages.
The Yin-Yang Sacred Body that Su Yuan wanted to cultivate was a perfectly balanced sacred body, without any weaknesses or flaws.
Normally, one would need to become a Great Sage to condense a Sacred Body, but Su Yuan was able to condense the Yin-Yang Sacred Body at the same time as he entered the realm of cosmic life, thanks to the opportunity of a perfect breakthrough.
"Breakthrough in one month."
Su Yuan collected his thoughts. For him, there was no difference between breaking through now and breaking through a month later, and the benefits the latter would bring him far outweighed the former.
"During this time, continue to comprehend the supreme rule of cause and effect."
Su Yuan focused his mind and began to sense the supreme rules of cause and effect that permeated every level of the universe.
"My cause and effect."
Su Yuan carefully perceived that his understanding of the supreme rule of cause and effect (79%) had enabled him to clearly distinguish the subtle details of his own cause and effect.
The karma surrounding Su Yuan can be divided into two categories.
One possibility is that Su Yuan was the cause.
One is Su Yuan is Guo.
Su Yuan is the cause and effect of cause, meaning that Su Yuan is the dominant party. For example, in the cause and effect between Su Yuan and Ye Kunlun, Su Yuan is the cause and Ye Kunlun is the effect.
This type of cause and effect is something Ye Kunlun needs to repay to Su Yuan.
At this moment, in Su Yuan's perception, the cause and effect between him and Ye Kunlun, starting from him, wrapped Ye Kunlun in layers upon layers. If the other party did not repay the cause and effect between Su Yuan and Ye Kunlun, he would definitely be dragged down by this endless cause and effect when he made his final leap.
Su Yuan can also act in accordance with this cause and effect. He is the cause of cause and effect. As long as he reaches a certain level of understanding of cause and effect, he can act using cause and effect as a 'medium'.
Another cause-and-effect relationship is that Su Yuan is the result.
This is the karma that Su Yuan owes, and this karma mainly comes from the human race.
However, Su Yuan's karmic debt to the human race is not much, and it is easy to sort out and repay. This is also the result that Su Yuan has been paying attention to for many years.
Besides the human race, Su Yuan also owes this vast universe a debt of karma.
He was born in the universe, and the universe has the grace of nurturing him; this is cause and effect.
"Repay the karmic debts of the universe." Su Yuan thought to himself. Every Great Sage of the Universe would try his best to repay the karmic debts of the universe when he challenged the chaotic life.
The supreme being of chaos transcends the vast universe. Without paying a price, the vast universe will not allow you to break through smoothly.
The front lines opened up new battlefields.
Deep within the layers of space, the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Destruction Holy Spirit Avatar stood silently.
Where he stood, the previously turbulent spatial fluctuations calmed down like flowing water.
"The Great Holy Spirit."
A smile appeared on Su Yuan's face. In the past two hundred years, not only had his human body reached the limit of stellar life, but his Nine Aperture Exquisite Destruction Holy Spirit Avatar had also made rapid progress.
Reaching the level of the Greatly Accomplished Holy Spirit.
The perfected Holy Spirit is the ultimate state of a Holy Spirit.
"My current offensive capabilities."
Su Yuan felt a slight surge of excitement. After reaching the Great Saintly Cultivation stage, many of his abilities underwent a qualitative change, and the Great Annihilation Lightning even reached the perfect level, becoming no different from the Great Annihilation Lightning at the end of the universe.
"Where does my current offensive strength rank among the current Saints of the Great Universe?"
Su Yuan immediately inquired about the gray mirror from the depths of his consciousness.
The gray mirror surface churned and blurred, revealing individual characters.
Conquest is paramount.
