Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

hum!

The eye, like a crack in the sky, blinked again, and a terrifying surge of will spread outwards in layers.

Beneath this terrifying celestial eye, a tall figure in silver armor floats silently in the air.

"break!"

As he watched the blinking sky, Lu Yunhe's third eye on his forehead also opened and closed.

hum...

Two invisible and intangible attacks of will collided instantly.

Faced with this attack of will that surpassed the limits of a true god of the void, Lu Yunhe's will shone like an eternal diamond, remaining steadfast and unmoved.

After an era of tempering, Lu Yunhe finally elevated his will to the level of an Eternal True God.

If one could go further and reach the level of a Chaos Overlord, one could even attempt to possess the primordial universe.

Of course, if one were to possess another body in the cosmic sea, not to mention a Chaos Overlord level will, even a God-King level would be impossible.

After Lu Yunhe used his Eternal True God-level will to unleash the "Eye of Heaven" and collided with the Heavenly Eye above, a hole was directly blasted out in the center of the latter, which could not be closed at all.

Without hesitation, Lu Yunhe flew directly into the hole in the Heavenly Eye and headed to the lower level of the Trial Tower.

The secret technique of willpower, "Eye of Heaven," should be the reward for this level, so Lu Yunhe didn't encounter anything else as he passed through the void.

Compared to the mechanical treasures of the fourth level, the Willpower Arcane Art is clearly more valuable.

call out!

A beam of white light swept across Lu Yunhe's body, and then time and space shifted, and he reappeared in another space.

As soon as he appeared, before Lu Yunhe could even steady himself, a substantial pressure descended from above, knocking him down from mid-air.

puff…

Below was not hard soil, but a shimmering sea.

"It's not seawater..."

Lu Yunhe fell into the water, touched the surrounding seawater, and was suddenly startled.

Therefore, after falling into the sea, Lu Yunhe found that he could not use anything, including weapons and mechanical treasures. Not only that, but his divine power was also constantly draining away.

"What is this?"

Lu Yunhe had some doubts, but he wasn't flustered, after all, this was the Trial Tower.

In the water, Lu Yunhe discovered that he could not use anything external; the only thing he could use was his own divine body.

Wow...

Just as Lu Yunhe was on guard, a small fish with its gaping maw flew toward him. Though it was called a small fish, it was nearly ten kilometers long.

Seeing the fish biting at him, Lu Yunhe slapped it directly, smashing it to pieces.

The exploded fish instantly transformed into streams of air that merged into Lu Yunhe's body.

“The divine power has been replenished, and…”

Lu Yunhe closed his eyes, and a diagram of life structure appeared in his mind.

Chapter 405 The Second Limit of Divine Power Flow

"Pass condition: Enter the bottom of the Dead Sea!"

Lu Yunhe checked the pass conditions on the token, which required him to dive into the seabed of the "Dead Sea".

The Dead Sea!

Lu Yunhe realized that the environment he was in was indeed still a trial ground, so there was no problem.

Then I glanced down and couldn't see the bottom at all; the seabed was deep and dark, and I had no idea how deep it was.

"It's both a challenge and a reward!"

Lu Yunhe thought of the fish he had just killed. Being in this Dead Sea, unable to use any external objects, his divine power was also rapidly draining away.

As for the seabed, which is invisible at a glance, reaching its deepest point would likely require a very high quality and quantity of divine power.

Moreover, the Dead Sea may also harbor some special life forms, like the fish we just saw, that would attack intruders.

Of course, the benefits are also obvious: after killing sea creatures, not only can you restore your divine power, but you can also obtain a life gene map.

Aside from restoring divine power, the role of the life gene map is naturally to assist those who follow the path of divine power.

If you want to follow the path of divine power, research on divine power genes is essential.

However, not everyone possesses the convenient talent of the Sphia clone and the Nether Sea clone, which allows them to directly analyze genes.

For most geniuses who are masters of the universe, researching divine power genes is a very difficult task, with the biggest challenge being personally analyzing life genes.

But when the fish that Lu Yunhe had just killed merged into his body and interacted with the divine power within him, it was as if he had analyzed its genes.

"People from the Origin Continent really know how to have fun!"

Lu Yunhe exclaimed that this method greatly reduced the difficulty of the Universe Lord's Divine Power Flow.

By continuously killing marine life, you can obtain genetic maps.

However, this method can only be said to greatly save research speed, but it cannot really bring about a qualitative change.

For example, a former universe master who would normally need trillions of epochs to reach the first level of divine power could potentially reach it in a billion or even tens of billions of epochs through this method.

However, if one does not possess the necessary aptitude, even with the assistance of the Dead Sea, one still cannot achieve the first-time success of the Divine Power Flow.

Just like the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds in the original work, who had the talent of "creation," he ultimately failed to reach the first level of the Divine Power Flow.

Snapped!

As Lu Yunhe continued to sink, a sea monster about 100 kilometers long suddenly attacked him again.

Physical size does not represent strength. This sea beast was naturally stronger than the previous fish, but it was still no match for Lu Yunhe's slap.

"A diagram of life structure at the gene level, a hundredfold increase!"

Lu Yunhe studied it and found that the life structure diagram that appeared along with the divine power was about a hundred times the genetic level.

"A life form with ten times the genetic potential has a size of ten kilometers, a life form with a hundred times the genetic potential has a size of one hundred kilometers... By calculation, a life form with ten thousand times the genetic potential should have a size of ten thousand kilometers, and a life form with perfect genetic potential should have a size of one hundred thousand kilometers..."

Lu Yunhe pondered, wondering if there were sea monsters millions or hundreds of millions of kilometers deep in the deepest part.

While thinking, Lu Yunhe casually slapped the sea beast that was rushing towards him to death.

Based on its genetic level, it should be equivalent to a sea monster with a size of 100 million kilometers. Dealing with these "small shrimps" that are only tens or hundreds of kilometers long would be a piece of cake for it.

As he continued to sink, Lu Yunhe killed many sea monsters, including several thousand that were over 100 kilometers in size, far exceeding his expectations.

These life forms, if placed in the primordial universe, would probably be unique and special.

As expected of a sect from the Origin Continent, the amount of life gene structures recorded within is probably enormous, far exceeding the size of a single universe.

Gulu gulu...

Lu Yunhe didn't know how long he had been sinking, but the deeper he went, the greater the pressure from the four seas became, and the more life forms with similarly strong genes appeared.

Fortunately, his divine body was strong enough to allow him to continue sinking.

call!

The surrounding seawater was deathly still and dark, with no signs of life in sight.

Unbeknownst to him, Lu Yunhe had already fully unfurled his divine body, which was a hundred million kilometers high. The Dead Sea around him seemed to remain unchanged, still boundless, as if he were in a special space.

call out!

Suddenly, tens of thousands of incredibly thick tentacles slammed towards Lu Yunhe, each carrying a massive amount of deep-water pressure.

With each wave of the hand, bubbles, like miniature worlds exploding, continuously emerge.

"coming!"

A hint of excitement flashed in Lu Yunhe's eyes. Without dodging or flinching, he also swung his fist, forcefully using the power of his divine body to meet the oncoming tentacle head-on.

Snapped! Snapped……

Bubbles burst open as Lu Yunhe swung his fist to block the tentacle's attack, and also saw the spherical figure behind the tentacle.

The black sphere has countless tentacles and a diameter of over ten million kilometers.

"Sure enough!"

Lu Yunhe's eyes lit up, and he strode through the water, charging directly towards the black tentacle monster in front of him.

With the water flow obstructing their movements, it seemed that every action of both sides was weakened countless times.

Boo!

Lu Yunhe waved his hand to deflect the sea monster's tentacles, then moved directly close to its body and threw a heavy punch.

Despite the weakening effect of the water flow, Lu Yunhe's fist still sent the black sphere sea monster flying.

"Come back!"

Seeing the sea beast flying backward, Lu Yunhe suddenly grabbed the tentacles beside him and pulled it back.

Da da da da…

Then punch after punch, countless fist shadows continuously slid down onto the sea monster's body.

Without the enhancements of various weapons and treasures, both sides engaged in the most primal form of combat.

However, this sea monster has a core volume of tens of millions of kilometers, and with its countless flying tentacles, its size is also incredibly large.

Under the constant attacks, the sea beast was worn down considerably, but Lu Yunhe's own divine power was also being depleted, and it quickly dropped to a critical point.

"not good!"

Lu Yunhe, engrossed in the battle, quickly sensed the "alarm" coming from the divine power within his body. The journey to the bottom of the sea was still far off, and if he continued to entangle with this sea beast without any results, it would be dangerous to help it back up later.

"Strategic retreat!"

Lu Yunhe regained his senses, looking greedily at the tentacle sea beast waving ahead. Without hesitation, he quickly swam towards the Dead Sea.
