The Third Step of the Self-Created Dao, Heaven's Chosen

"My Dao is the Heavenly Dao." That was Wu Yuan's bold claim—and in a sense, it was the truth.

The Dao he had forged was the Primordial Self-Created Dao. It contained both Great Destruction and Great Creation, perfectly fused together. In terms of potential, it almost surpassed every Self-Created Dao forged by the countless Eternity Experts of the past.

From the moment it was first created, its level was already close to that of a True Saint.

Once he reached the second step, it would truly rival a True Saint's. At the very peak of the second step, Wu Yuan had already stood at the pinnacle of True Sainthood. The Heart of Eternity he had forged was also stronger than that of most True Saints.

Its potential was so immense that breaking through was exceptionally difficult.

Take his Qi Refining True Body, for example. Although it too had forged a top-tier Self-Created Dao, with the aid of the Primordial Baptism, it had long since advanced smoothly to the third step. It had even reached the very peak of that step and was already advancing toward the fourth.

But breakthroughs at the brink of life and death were often impossible to seek out.
