Origin Continent, a small, Chaos land devoid of life.
Luo Ao stood here, waiting for the arrival of the Lord 'Yuan'.
In fact, his growth along the way did bear many traces of the other party.
The drop of 'Yan' blood that had helped him so much was left behind by a Hunyuan Lifeform who died at the hands of 'Yuan'. The Hunyuan Body Refinement Method he later obtained came from the Hunyuan Tower, which was also specially created by 'Yuan'.
Therefore, he owes his current success to Yuan.
"My body and soul have now reached the Hunyuan level, and even the World-Level Hunyuan level." Luo Ao felt his own power. His gaze could easily penetrate the Source World and see the Endless Hunyuan Space outside, and even see the Source World in the distance. He could see a very wide range.
If done deliberately, one can even pinpoint a specific spot for detailed investigation.
This is a natural ability possessed by the 'eyes' of World-Level Hunyuan Lifeform.
"Every move I make possesses immense power; even a casual punch now contains profound mysteries at the Hunyuan Origin level," Luo Ao frowned and shook his head. "However, being able to use it doesn't mean one has comprehended its essence."
Just like an ordinary person who can use a bow and arrow to attack enemies.
But how are bows and arrows made? Why are they so powerful? What are the secrets behind the bow's construction? What are the special features of the arrows?
Even if you don't understand these things, you can still use them.
But if you can grasp the essence, it's a different story! For example, understanding how bows and arrows are made, how to make the bow more powerful, what materials to use for arrows to maximize their power, and how to refine the materials used in their manufacture—once you understand all of this, you can create the perfect bow and arrow yourself!
The ' Lord ' are like this; they have mastered the Dao of Hunyuan, which allows them to elevate their life level to the highest level— the Lord level. They can also maximize their strength in battle, so naturally they are different.
"Even the experts of the Hunyuan need to comprehend these mysteries. The more secrets they comprehend, the stronger their physical body and soul can become," Luo Ao thought to himself.
If one were to unleash their full potential to its peak, that would be the pinnacle of World-Level Hunyuan Lifeform.
To undergo another life leap... to the Lord level?
Then one must comprehend the 'Dao' at the Hunyuan level, which is what every World-Level Hunyuan expert desires.
Because they originally accumulated the deepest knowledge in the ' Void Dao ' and the ' Life Dao '.
Therefore, Luo Ao was able to quickly comprehend the mysteries of the ' Life Dao ' at the Hunyuan level contained within his body, and even use it to unleash some techniques! At the same time, by comprehending his own soul, he could also deduce some techniques.
Every World-Level Hunyuan Lifeform has its own strengths. Luo Ao's strengths lie in the Void Dao and the Life Dao, while his initial strength, the Flame Dao, has always been just a little short and has not yet reached true Paragon.
As Luo Ao pondered how to reach the level of a ' Lord- level' powerhouse like 'Yuan' more quickly, 'Yuan', dressed in brightly colored clothes and looking completely unkempt, had already descended upon them.
Of course, what appeared before him was merely a very weak clone, probably only at the Saint-Level- level of life form.
" Luo Ao, you actually managed to find a different path and directly comprehend the Ultimate Realm of the Life Dao, that's amazing!" Yuan's first words made Luo Ao's heart stir.
Judging from Yuan's words, it seems that even he has not been able to grasp the Ultimate Realm of the Life Dao.
"Senior Yuan, don't you also have...?" Luo Ao looked puzzled, but before he could finish speaking, Yuan already understood Luo Ao's thoughts.
"Hehe, I've tried to comprehend many Daos, but most of them are Daos that manifest power externally, like the ' Flame Dao ' or the ' Thunder Dao of Thunder.'" Yuan smiled slightly, then shook his head. "Any Dao that involves the soul or consciousness is extremely difficult to cultivate."
"Let alone your Life Dao, which directly touches upon the most essential aspects of the soul, that mysterious and profound 'intention,' even Daos involving the soul such as ' Void Realm ' and ' Heart Aspect ' haven't yet reached the Ultimate Realm... In my conjecture, just reaching the ultimate realm of these Daos would probably allow one to grow into World-Level Hunyuan expert as quickly as you." Upon hearing Yuan's words, Luo Ao immediately reacted.
Indeed, the later prodigy named Dongbo Xueying seemed to have traversed the ultimate path of the Soul Dao, and indeed quickly reached the World-Level Hunyuan, even directly cultivating to the ultimate ' Lord ' level in a short period of time!
According to Yuan, this clearly involves the Ultimate Dao of willpower, and its difficulty is even greater than Dongbo Xueying's " Void Realm Dao "!
"Haha, Luo Ao, your Ultimate Dao in terms of willpower is probably quite unique. I can't give you much cultivation advice, but I think you can travel to other places more often... I have a feeling that you might soon reach my level." Hearing Yuan's 'praise', Luo Ao didn't directly refute him, but instead seemed thoughtful.
Indeed, Dongbo Xueying followed the path of combining 'body and soul', and in a short time, he Break Law with Force and became Lord.
But now, I have come to understand the Dao of 'intention,' which is more difficult and deeper than the Soul Path. It should also have many special features!
Reaching the ultimate level of the 'intention' path seems easy, but in reality, it's because he himself has 'traveled through the true spirit' multiple times and already has a concrete understanding of the 'true spirit'.
In this respect, even Yuan probably doesn't understand it as deeply as he does!
Furthermore, in another great world called the ' Desolate Universe ', the body born from his true spirit was fortunate enough to come into contact with an incredible method called ' The Indestructible True Soul '.
It was precisely because he learned the technique of ' Indestructible True Soul ' that he gained a deeper understanding of the existence of 'True Spirit', which enabled him to quickly comprehend the Ultimate Realm of Life Dao.
" The Indestructible True Soul, which is actually the immortality of the void. Perhaps... I can do this!" In an instant, Luo Ao's mind became crystal clear!
He had an idea—a shortcut to a rapid breakthrough!
If he succeeds on this path, his strength could reach an unbelievable level in this world!
"Huh? You little rascal, what's wrong? Are you about to break through again?" Yuan also keenly sensed that Luo Ao's life force had undergone a subtle transformation once again.
The original Luo Ao's body had been transformed to perfection, and his eyes were incredibly deep.
In the blink of an eye, his body became like a shell devoid of its 'soul,' completely still!
"This kid has released all his willpower? That's really reckless!" To be honest, even they, as Lord, wouldn't dare to play with their 'true spirit' like that, because it was far too dangerous.
One wrong move and you could be utterly annihilated, body and soul—that's no joke!
Cultivator Lord, having grasped the essence of power, possess combat strength and methods far surpassing those Lord- level Innate Primal Chaos Lifeform.
Under normal circumstances, they would find it difficult to die even if they wanted to. But for someone like Luo Ao to do something like this, he could only think of two words—suicide!
But clearly, Luo Ao wasn't committing suicide; he had simply embarked on a new path of cultivation. However, this path involved something more fundamental than the soul: 'intention,' something even Yuan couldn't offer much help with.
"Judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem to be in any danger. However, the complete loss of his will is a sign that his true spirit has completely dissipated. Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult to die so completely. I'd better stay and keep an eye on him!" Yuan frowned and decided to observe him for a while longer.
However, while it is called attention, 'intention' is the most illusory existence, especially since Luo Ao did not condense it at this moment, but instead dispersed it all. Even Yuan could only vaguely sense some traces and could not truly observe the situation.
boom!
Luo Ao's body remained in front of Yuan, but his true spirit—countless points of light in human form—was dissipating into the void in all directions.
At this moment, Luo Ao felt an unprecedented sense of weakness, because he had completely scattered all his true spirit fragments, losing even the most basic structure.
However, each fragment of the true spirit gradually developed a wisp of consciousness!
"Emptiness gives rise to thought!"
The so-called "birth of thought in the void" means that even when all the fragments of the true spirit have collapsed, consciousness can still arise in the void!
This demonstrates the power of consciousness!
This method was originally intended to deal with the crisis of 'the collapse of the true spirit'.
But at this moment, Luo Ao did the opposite!
Within his own Source World, he is the absolute Sovereign!
Therefore, he understood that even if his true spirit disintegrated into countless fragments within the Source World, he could not possibly die!
His real purpose was to use this opportunity to strengthen his 'true spirit' and enhance his 'will', and then leave the Source World!
The Jin Kingdom.
This is a kingdom that was once destroyed, but has risen again and is becoming more and more prosperous!
" Wan'er, I never thought we'd have the chance to meet again!" The Sitting Mountain Guest, who always maintained the appearance of an old man, had now transformed into a handsome, extraordinary middle-aged man in purple robes.
"Brother Yang, I feel like I'm dreaming, but Sasha, Xiao Lu, and I... we've all really come back to life!" The beautiful young woman named ' Wan'er ' had a happy expression on her face.
"All of this is thanks to my good disciple! The wisest decision I ever made was to go to the Universe Ocean, reincarnate in that Primal Universe, and take two peerless geniuses as my disciples..." Whenever he thought of this, Jin Yang ( Sitting Mountain Guest ) couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of creation!
Source Mirror Mountain.
This is the location of the Mirror King Sect; no one else could possibly find it.
"The master of the Source World is indeed incredibly skilled. I must also thank my disciple for helping me make up for the regrets of that year..." Jing Yuan looked at the eight old friends in his memories and smiled contentedly.
When Luo Ao became the master of the Origin Continent, he could easily sense all the life that had ever been born in the history of this ' Source World '! From the very first era at the beginning of the Source World's birth, from the very first life... Luo Ao had complete control over all the living beings in the history of the Source World!
All life forms that have ever existed in the history of the Source World, from mortals to God King!
As long as they haven't reached the Hunyuan stage, Luo Ao can teleport them from the time of their death to the present, easily granting them eternal life.
This is the method of the ' World Lord '.
Life and death? Past and future?
It doesn't matter much to the World Lord. Within their own Source World, regardless of the past or future, whether they are alive or dead, as long as they haven't become Hunyuan Lifeform, they are all under the control of the World Lord.
Therefore, after Luo Ao's breakthrough, the regrets of his two masters in the past were perfectly made up for. Even the Sitting Mountain Guest no longer insisted on torturing the three monarchs of the Shi Kingdom, but executed them not long ago.
"It seems that my condition is absolutely fine within the Source World. Now it depends on whether my will is strong enough outside the Source World..." After reading about some of the stories that happened within the Source World, Luo Ao's path of ' Thought Generation in the Void ' is also accelerating wildly!
"That's about enough, let's go out and take a look..." As soon as the thought arose, Luo Ao's first wisp of consciousness drifted directly out of the Source World.
Although the true spirit is very important, losing only a tiny bit is not fatal, as the soul can recover on its own.
As his thoughts drifted out, Luo Ao's current sensations were indeed incredibly mysterious.
Emptiness and darkness...
Drifting and swaying...
What seems like just a fleeting thought, like a dandelion seed, drifts leisurely to various places...
This wisp of thought first passed through the membrane of the Source World, and then entered the boundless, dimly lit Hunyuan Space...
This formless and intangible thought is incredibly fragile, yet it can move freely throughout the Hunyuan Space!
"I even feel I can wield the power of Hunyuan here, but this single wisp of will is far too weak..."
He continued to wander through the Hunyuan Space as if he were an observer.
In the endless Hunyuan Space, some Hunyuan experts were scattered in various mysterious places, and there were also many naturally born Hunyuan Lifeform distributed in various regions. But when Luo Ao 'floated' past them, it was clear that no one could notice 'his' existence.
This feeling is truly bizarre; I can see others, but they cannot see me.
As this wisp of thought traveled through the Hunyuan Space, Luo Ao's other thoughts were also rapidly merging the ' Void Dao ' into the Life Dao.
Logically speaking, these are two completely different paths, but when he merged them, he found the process to be unexpectedly smooth, even as easy as 'water flowing into a channel'.
"This feeling--"
Sparks of inspiration constantly collided within Luo Ao's strands of thought. In fact, as the process progressed, the mysteries of various rules continued to combine, allowing Luo Ao to gain an increasingly profound understanding of the rules within the Hunyuan Space.
Until a certain instant, a complete ' Dao of Hunyuan Void ' appeared among his countless thoughts!
"So that's how the Life Dao..." Originally, he thought that this fusion should be based on the Life Dao, with the Void Dao as a secondary element.
However, after the fusion, he discovered that what was ultimately revealed was the ' Hunyuan Void Dao '!
" The Ultimate Life Dao is like the mother of all paths. When it combines with the Ultimate Void Dao, it becomes the ' Hunyuan Void Dao '; when it combines with the Ultimate Flame Dao, it becomes the ' Hunyuan Flame Dao '!"
At this moment, Luo Ao not only grasped the essence of the 'Power of the Hunyuan Void ' and mastered the execution of the infinite Hunyuan Void, but also understood why the Ultimate Life Dao was so special and so difficult to comprehend!
The Life Dao, the origin of all things!
When it was weak, the Primal Universe was based on the Life Dao, from which other Daos arose.
Once powerful, other paths can also be rapidly grown to a new level simply by integrating the characteristics of the Life Dao!
If he were to study the Void Dao in a normal, step-by-step manner, it might take him an unknown amount of time to master the ' Hunyuan Void Dao '.
But because he comprehended the Ultimate Life Dao.
The Ultimate Life Dao is both all-encompassing and the fertile ground from which all other paths grow!
On the Origin Continent, at some unknown time, new strange phenomena appeared in the world.
boom!!!
Luo Ao's consciousness had not yet returned, but his body began to leap again, and his life level began to rise wildly!
It began frantically absorbing the endless Hunyuan energy around it!
All around, the primordial Hunyuan surged and gathered, forming a massive vortex. Large amounts of Hunyuan energy continuously poured into Luo Ao's body, causing changes to his physique.
On the surface of his skin, countless small Hunyuan worlds began to emerge. His body itself was as powerful as the Hunyuan, as if every move he made possessed boundless might, yet it was also as vast as the void. It seemed that no matter how many attacks landed on him, they would be like attacking the void, unable to touch his true form.
"This is... he actually broke through again, so quickly!" Yuan, who was guarding Luo Ao's side, instantly focused his gaze.
" The Lord?"
The fragments of his true spirit re-condensed, and countless strands of his will returned to his body. Luo Ao could feel his own power at this moment.
In this vast world, there are many supreme powers, and those who can wield the highest level of power... are the Lord.
At this moment, he has reached the limits of this world!
"However, this is only the limit for others, not necessarily my limit. My comprehension of the Ultimate Life Dao signifies that there are no limits!"
"With my current level of cultivation, pushing the Flame Dao to its ultimate state is not difficult. After that, by fusing it again like just now, I can give birth to the Hunyuan Flame Dao... After that, I can continue to comprehend other Daos."
The Hunyuan Void Dao was merely the first Dao at the Hunyuan level that he had mastered.
