Judging from the progress of the erosion transmitted by the Annihilation Blade Shadow, it will only take about a day to completely dismantle the Seventh True Master's Soul Defense!

Although he knew that other Divine Eye Race True Lord would definitely arrive at this time, Yang Yu still wanted to take a gamble!

After all, even the Universe Supreme Being wouldn't travel very fast in the Universe Ocean.

This is the Inner Domain of Universe Boat, so it's simply unrealistic to arrive here in a short time.

Yang Yu decided to give it half a day and try his luck!

If he still cannot defeat the Seventh True Master after half a day, then Yang Yu will give up and choose another route to the Black Stripe Stone Pillar.

"As expected of the Universe Supreme Being of the Divine Eye Race, who has lived for so long and even received the powerful inheritance of the Scale Armor, his Soul Defense is quite impressive."

Feeling the progress of the erosion emanating from the Annihilation Blade Shadow, Yang Yu thought to himself, "This Soul Capturing Crystal is truly a valuable item. I hope I can use it later on."

If it weren't for the Soul Capturing Crystal's ability to amplify Annihilation Blade Shadow's power a hundredfold, Yang Yu himself would be the one running away in terror right now.

Looking at the Seventh True Master, whom he was chasing and attacking, experimenting with various Blade Technique and Soul Attack Secret Technique, Yang Yu finally understood just how Combat Power was after fusing the Eight Mysteries of the Lightning Law, creating Sixth-Order Secret Technique, and a hundredfold amplification from the Soul Capturing Crystal.

Although this Seventh True Master is just an ordinary Universe Supreme Being, his strength is still in the Seventh Order Midstream.

If you can dominate your opponent, then the strength you unleash at full power is around that of Peak Seventh Order.

Yang Yu was naturally very satisfied with this result.

In Yellow Sand World.

The chase continues.

However, if the outside world knew the details of this battle, they would definitely be astonished.

But since Yang Yu didn't say anything, the Seventh True Master wouldn't be foolish enough to spread the word everywhere, so the outside world wouldn't know the details of this battle in the short term.

Finally.

Yang Yu, who had been chasing the Seventh True Master for almost half a day, felt a little tired.

Continuously burning divine power and maintaining the highest intensity of combat was taking its toll, even for Yang Yu.

Sensing that Feicang's Divine Body had already consumed one-tenth of its power, Yang Yu felt that the time was almost up.

If this drags on any longer, the other Divine Eye Race True Lord might arrive.

Facing powerful figures other than the First True Master of the Divine Eye Race, Yang Yu can currently gain the upper hand against one, remain undefeated against two, but would be in great danger against three.

Moreover, the Divine Eye Race also possesses a method of coordinated attacks. Once they are restrained, the strongest First True Master will arrive, and that would be truly dangerous.

After all, Yang Yu is only a Venerable at the moment.

"Boom!"

Wielding the Thunderfall Blade, he unleashed a blade of light so bright and powerful it was almost blinding, blasting the Seventh True Master even closer to the depths of the Yellow Sand World.

Yang Yu waved his hand and took out the Peak Supreme Treasure palace, the Kuanglan Hall Palace. After entering it, he controlled his domain to unleash extreme speed and flew in another direction.

"Gone???"

The Seventh True Master swung his War Blade to block Yang Yu's sword light, then watched Yang Yu transform into Thunder and disappear into the distance. "This Demon Dragon is truly a monster. No wonder he kills those universe lords like it's nothing. Perhaps he really is the Universe Supreme Being in disguise."

The Seventh True Master, standing amidst endless light, pondered.

As for continuing the pursuit of Yang Yu?

He really doesn't dare now.

The Universe Supreme Being are indeed very close in strength, and it is very difficult for one of them to fall.

But difficult doesn't mean impossible!

Before the Yuan Zu was suppressed, given the right opportunity, he was fully capable of killing even the Universe Supreme Being with only average strength, like himself, in a one-on-one situation.

Although Yang Yu's current strength is still far from that of the Yuan Zu, he is extremely skilled in the Soul Path!

Moreover, there are bizarre Secret Technique capable of Annihilation Mystery Soul Defense.

With such Secret Technique, even those of equal strength are extremely difficult to deal with, and one could be in danger of perishing if they are not careful.

This is what makes those who excel in the Soul Path so difficult to deal with.

This is why the strength rating of a powerful individual skilled in soul manipulation can be increased by one level from the original rating.

Inside the Miniature Universe of the Divine Eye Race.

"What?!" The Fifth True Master was shocked upon hearing the latest battle report. "That Demon Dragon's true strength is actually this great! It can chase after you, Seventh Brother!"

"Fifth brother, what are you saying?" the Second True Master laughed. "That Demon Dragon is clearly not the Universe Master; it should be the Universe Supreme Being in disguise."

"It's quite possible. Perhaps he obtained some kind of extraordinary aura disguise Secret Technique or treasure, which is why none of us could see through him. Seventh Brother, it was wise of you to give up the pursuit."

After the True Lord of the Divine Eye Race deduced that Yang Yu was Universe Supreme Being in disguise, they were no longer so angry.

What is most important in the Universe Ocean?

It's undoubtedly about strength!

Previously, Yang Yu had only revealed the aura and strength of Universe Master, which angered the Divine Eye Race, who considered themselves the strongest force in the current Universe Ocean. They would definitely retaliate with Thunder measures to intimidate other races.

Otherwise, their Divine Eye Race would not be able to establish a foothold in the Universe Ocean, and other races would follow suit and provoke them.

Their idea of transcending worldly concerns in their final moments was just a joke.

"Alright, since this was done by the Universe Supreme Being, and he can even suppress Seventh Brother in terms of strength, then let's temporarily stop openly hunting him down and continue to keep an eye on him in the shadows, making our move when the opportunity arises!"

After pondering for a long time, the First True Master said, "However, we must not release this news. Our Divine Eye Race has suffered such a great loss; we cannot let other races, especially the Skeleton Race, have an easy time."

"The most important thing facing our race now is to Transcendence of Reincarnation!" The avatar of the First True Master suddenly unleashed an extremely powerful aura. "We don't have much time left. We can't keep wasting our time and energy chasing down a powerful Lone Universe Supreme Being."

"However, this powerful figure seems to act erratically and lacks any airs of authority, recklessly hunting down Universe Master. Let's send our clan's Fifth Order Peak Universe Master to explore the other two perilous lands."

"It's the teacher (Old Ancestor)!"

The other six Divine Eye Race True Lord respectfully responded.

They exchanged glances, both revealing a hint of helplessness.

There was nothing they could do. Faced with such an unidentified, fast, Secret Technique, and powerful being— the Universe Supreme Being —the Divine Eye Race dared not provoke him any further. They could only secretly find a way to lay a trap and strive for a fatal blow!

But such opportunities are extremely rare, and they weren't confident in their chances.

Moreover, their most crucial task now is to find an opportunity for transcendence.

Compared to this, the death of a few Universe Master within the clan is not a big deal.

After all, the true hope of Transcendence of Reincarnation still lies with the seven Universe Supreme Being.

In the Yellow Sand World of the Universe Boat.

Ten days after Yang Yu clashed with the Seventh True Master.

"Strong Expert Competition is indeed the fastest way to improve." Yang Yu, in his Demon Dragon Form, opened his huge dark golden pupils, his eyes flashing with excitement.

"Having fought the Seventh True Master for so long, I've already fused more than half of the ninth profound mystery of Lightning Mystery. At this rate, I only need to seclude myself in the Yonglan Realm for a few thousand more years to fully fuse these nine mysteries to near perfection."

During these ten days, aside from diverting a portion of his consciousness to deal with the dangers in the Yellow Sand World, Yang Yu devoted the rest of his energy to fusing with the Lightning Mystery.

We fought our way through.

Yang Yu gained a deeper understanding of the potential of the Lightning Law.

Furthermore, as the integration of the Lightning Mystery progressed, he also gained a vague sense of the legendary 'Thunder Dao'.

However, this sensation was too faint; even Yang Yu in his current state couldn't grasp it at all.

Having thoroughly studied countless Secret Technique manuals within the Inheritance Palace, which greatly broadened his horizons, Yang Yu knew that this was because his accumulation of knowledge was still insufficient and his basic strength was not strong enough.

"I must devour enough True Spirit as soon as possible, strengthen my soul and comprehension to the limit, and then immediately break through to the Universe Master!"

Yang Yu secretly made up his mind that his soul, comprehension, will, consciousness, and Divine Body at the stage of the Universe Master would undergo a transformation.

At that time, our basic strength will increase a hundredfold!

Furthermore, one's comprehension will also transform along with such a breakthrough in one's realm.

At that time, Yang Yu's cultivation efficiency will continue to increase.

Although the Mysterious Fusion of Leidian, and other laws will become increasingly difficult and obscure in the end.

However, as long as one has high enough comprehension, a strong enough soul, and an abnormally high level of deductive reasoning ability, one can still maintain rapid progress!

It can even get faster and faster!

This is the extraordinary talent that the Thunder Inheritance bestowed upon Yang Yu.

"Although I can currently fight against the Universe Supreme Being with the help of the Soul Capturing Crystal, and even suppress them, it is ultimately not my true strength. I must become stronger as quickly as possible!"

In Yang Yu's view, any strength gained by relying on external Supreme Treasure or other such items is illusory.

Only one's own Law Realm and the Secret Technique Divine Body are truly reliable.

Of course, Yang Yu wouldn't reject the Supreme Treasure because of this.

On the contrary.

Only when your basic strength is strong enough can you unleash the full power of your Supreme Treasure.

"Whoosh!"

In Yellow Sand World.

The Kuanglan Hall continued its journey at nearly a hundred times the Light Speed.

Finally, after ten years, we reached the edge.

Looking through the palace, one sees a vast river thousands of light-years wide, tens of thousands of light-years deep, and stretching for hundreds of thousands of light-years.

Yang Yu knew he had arrived at another notorious and dangerous area on the Universe Boat: the Silver Moon River.

It is named Silver Moon because it resembles a Galaxy hanging in the Void when viewed from a distance.

The river appears very calm from a distance.

But once you delve deeper, you'll discover that beneath the calm surface lies a turbulent undercurrent.

When a powerful undercurrent passes by, even the most exquisite Palace Treasure would find it difficult to withstand the abnormal pulling force.

Furthermore, high-speed rolling sand and gravel can appear inside the river.

Although they are called sand and gravel, each grain is actually comparable in size to a star in the Primal Universe, and the rocks are even larger.

Driven by the undercurrent, the impact of these sand and stones is also terrifying.

These are just the most common dangers on the surface of the Silver Moon River.

Deep within the river, one will occasionally encounter 'Silver Moon Guard' who are light-years tall and wield Great Hammer.

The Silver Moon Guard possess no intelligence whatsoever, only the most basic fighting instincts.

But it is an existence that even the Universe Supreme Being dare not provoke.

This is because the Silver Moon Guard can unleash power far exceeding that of the Universe Supreme Being.

If someone were to be struck by the Great Hammer in his hand, Universe Supreme Being like the Seventh True Master would either die or be crippled!

Fortunately, the Silver Moon Guard never leave the Silver Moon River, and it takes them a long time to regain their speed.

Just keep your distance once you spot him from a distance.

Unless one is extremely unlucky enough to be swept away by the undercurrents and end up in front of the Silver Moon Guard, any Fifth Order Peak Universe Master with Peak Palace Treasure can cross the Silver Moon River on their own.

As for the Universe Supreme Being, being careful makes them safer.

This is also one of the closest routes to the depths of the Universe Boat.

Now that he possesses the Peak Palace Treasure, Yang Yu naturally chooses to take this shortcut; otherwise, taking a slightly longer route would have added decades or even centuries to his journey.

In the Universe Ocean.

Especially in dangerous places like Universe Boat.

Traveling takes a lot of time.

"Boom!"

The colossal, azure palace, carrying boundless Thunder power, burst forth from the Yellow Sand World and plunged straight into the Silver Moon River.

"Splash splash splash~"

The Kuanglan Hall sped forward through the water formed from the condensation of endless Chaos Qi.

Under Yang Yu's precise control, the Kuanglan Hall moved like a nimble fish darting through a river.

Through the Thunder Domain covering a radius of one hundred light-years, Yang Yu could easily dodge the surging undercurrents and the rapidly approaching sand and stones.

The Silver Moon River, spanning thousands of light-years, would take Yang Yu at least half a year to traverse, even while piloting Peak Palace Treasure.

This is assuming a smooth journey without encountering the Silver Moon Guard or the extremely dangerous vortex.

"Although the Silver Moon River is treacherous, as long as one is careful enough, it can be a good route if there is a valuable Palace Treasure."

Six months later.

Yang Yu looked at the rushing river outside and felt quite pleased.

During this period, Yang Yu's Demon Dragon Clone and Feicang Clone, under the Time Acceleration of the Yonglan Realm, had already merged into the ninth mysterious whole and reached the final bottleneck.

All that's left is to overcome the final hurdle to achieve perfect fusion.

It has to be said.

The Demon Dragon Clone absorbed so much of the True Spirit of the Universe Master, resulting in a significant improvement in its soul and comprehension, and its cultivation progress was much faster than originally planned.

If there's no breakthrough inspiration in the short term, then continue to integrate the tenth mystery as well.

Yang Yu then re-entered the Yonglan Realm, using a small portion of his consciousness to control the Palace Treasure and travel.

Two months later.

Yang Yu's Demon Dragon Clone emerged from the Yonglan Realm. "The tenth mystery has already resonated with the previous nine mysteries, and the fusion process between them is progressing smoothly. However, we haven't yet found the opportunity to fully fuse with the previous nine mysteries. It seems we can only continue to wait."

Over the past two months.

Both the Demon Dragon Clone and the Feicang Clone were completely immersed in the Lightning Mystery.

The progress made is also very encouraging.

However, breaking through the bottleneck is still quite difficult.

Even with half of the computing power from the Yuanling Clone on Earth assisting in the deduction, they still couldn't find a breakthrough inspiration.

Meanwhile, Yang Yu's other physical body was also undergoing secluded cultivation.

The fusion of Leidian and time went smoothly, since Yang Yu chose to merge his superficial understanding of the Lightning Law with the Time Law.

It is far more difficult than integrating the twelve profound and mysterious aspects of the Lightning Law.

This fusion is similar to the Beast God Path Luo Feng is currently following. As long as he fully integrates the two major laws of metal and void, one above and one below, he can break through to the Universe Master.

The difficulty is actually comparable to the difficulty of fusing the Six Lightning Mysteries.

This conclusion was reached by Yang Yu after comparing the profound Lightning Mystery with those of shallow-fused Leidian, and also after considering the time involved.

And the deeper one's Comprehend Laws...

Yang Yu also discovered that the 'Origin Law' was like a 'layered cake'.

Understanding the most superficial layer of Low-level Law can lead to immortality; understanding the most superficial layer of the Time Law or Space Law can lead to becoming Venerable.

However, as we continue to delve deeper into the Origin Law, we can continuously analyze layer after layer until we reach the very core point.

Yang Yu is currently studying the 'Lightning Origin Law' most deeply, but he is still far from reaching the very core of the matter.
