Chapter 244

On the Great Axe Founder's side, Zhou Yang gave a very subtle reminder that when adventuring in the Qingfeng Realm one should not blindly trust the map's guidance and must pay close attention to one's own safety; he said nothing more.

After all, the beast crisis has not yet erupted, and he truly could not produce a convincing excuse to keep the Great Axe Founder from venturing into the Qingfeng Realm.

Regarding Zhou Yang's reminder, the Great Axe Founder was slightly puzzled but nodded solemnly.

He bears the heavy responsibility of leading the Human Race, needs no reminder from Zhou Yang, and also places great importance on his own safety.

Moreover, now that he possesses the Supreme Strongest Treasure, as long as he isn't overly careless the chance of falling is already extremely low! "Hurry and break through to become the Universe Strongest! One Chaos, one you—now we are the two members of the Human Race most likely to break through to the Universe Strongest. Once you and your master both break through, my people will truly enter the Peak Era!"

Before parting, the Great Axe Founder, with his hair a mess and looking like a rugged strongman, smiled and gave his advice.

Deep within the Universe Boat's domain lies an endless black sand sea.

Rows upon rows of pitch‑black sandstorms swirl like tearing the heavens, raging wildly, and in the tiniest gaps between those sand vortexes a minuscule Azure Palace, reduced to a speck of dust, struggles to fly.

Fierce gusts from all directions constantly buffet the Azure Palace, making it tremble as if it will be ripped into the terrifying vortex at any moment.

"Damn, no wonder this is the Core of the Cosmic Vessel; even the Wind Sand Sea, which ranks low among the many hazards here, wields such power—moving the Peak Supreme Treasure Palace is extremely difficult!"

Inside the palace, Zhou Yang let out a slight sigh.

The core of the Three Great Forbidden Lands within the Universe Sea is a place even many Universe Strongest must explore with extreme caution; some hazards can even cause a Universe Strongest who possesses a Supreme Strongest Treasure Palace to be ground down and fall.

Zhou Yang is only at the level of Universe Master, and advancing through this Core of the Cosmic Vessel is especially arduous.

Fortunately, he still has the New Universe as a trump card; not only can he use New Universe Power to break through certain spatial stagnation zones via Teleportation, but he can also retreat into the New Universe for survival at critical moments, allowing him to press on through the treacherous core.

"At this pace, I estimate it will take considerably longer than expected to reach the Silver Token Space."

Zhou Yang forced a wry smile.

The Secret Chamber Space corresponding to the Silver Token lies deep within the Core of the Cosmic Vessel, almost at the very heart of the entire Universe Boat.

To reach that Secret Chamber Space, there are already upwards of a thousand hazards no less formidable than the Wind Sand Sea, let alone three extremely dangerous locations!

Those hazards are places even a Universe Strongest would not dare to enter lightly; for him they are truly a 'dead end'! "If I possessed the strength of a Universe Strongest, crossing those three extremely dangerous zones would be far easier."

Zhou Yang's eyes flickered, and he could not help but sigh.

"The Great Axe Founder wants me to break through to the Universe Strongest quickly, but according to my plan, it will still require an enormous amount of time."

There are two paths to breaking through to the Universe Strongest.

One is to start from the Laws, causing the Divine Kingdom to break its bottleneck; once the Divine Kingdom breaks through, it naturally begins to evolve into a Small Universe.

One way is starting from Divine Power; the Universe Master's Perfect Gene is 10081 times, which is a limit, and starting from Divine Power means breaking this limit! Let Divine Power evolve to a new level!

The foundation of becoming the Universe Strongest is to break! Break limitations! Break suppression!

Break all shackles on cultivators, thereby entering a new Heaven and Earth.

Break the shackles! Only then can one control one's destiny; from then on, laws retreat, Words Become Law, and that is the realm of the Universe Strongest! As for the laws, if the Universe Master can, based on the two laws he already masters, break the upper limit of the Universe Master's Strongest Fusion Secret Method, and further create a six-level secret technique, then in realm it would be enough to meet the Universe Strongest's requirements, naturally enough to drive his own Divine Kingdom to evolve into a Small Universe.

Afterward, one only needs to fully comprehend all other basic laws, fuse the Ten Great Basic Laws into one, transforming into the most primordial Chaos Law, and one can all the way reach the realm of Chaos Sovereign! Breaking through via the Divine Power line, letting Divine Power evolve and break the upper limit of the Perfect Gene Level, the body and soul also evolve accordingly, allowing one to forcibly break the shackles with absolute power!

With a breakthrough of oneself, the Divine Kingdom one can naturally bear becomes larger; the Divine Kingdom can break through its bottleneck and begin to evolve into a Small Universe. The two lines have different ways of breaking through, but the final result is the same by different paths.

In Zhou Yang's plan, he is prepared to push both lines to the extreme before making a single breakthrough to True God, which is the realm of the Universe Strongest!

In terms of laws, by comprehending the Mountain Dweller's reliance on the special environment of the Temporal-Spatial Abyss, he left behind the Chaos Secret Mark, and long ago he embarked on the path of fusing the Ten Great Laws, giving him a natural advantage in the law line.

Of course, Zhou Yang now also understands that the Chaos Secret Mark left by the Mountain Dweller is not the complete Chaos Law, after all, due to the limitations of the Original Universe's rules, information exceeding the True God limit cannot be transmitted or received.

The so-called Chaos Secret Mark actually contains only an extremely tiny trace of the artistic conception of the complete Chaos Law, merely an embryonic form of the law.

However, even this embryonic form that contains only an extremely tiny trace of the artistic conception of the complete Chaos Law is enough to guide Zhou Yang to preliminarily sense some of the mysteries of the Chaos Law.

As long as Zhou Yang fully comprehends that Chaos Secret Mark, it is equivalent to initially stepping into the threshold of the Chaos Law.

At this stage, creating secret techniques would be easy for him; he could readily craft True God-level secret techniques, and breaking through the True God Realm would be a breeze.

And in terms of Divine Power.

With the opportunity of the Life Record existing, as he continually studies and comprehends the special law power contained within the Life Record, Zhou Yang's Divine Power also begins to increase at a slow yet steady pace.

However, True Gods broken through via the Divine Power line have three levels.

30,000–60,000 times Gene is the first level.

60,000–90,000 times Gene is the second level.

From 90,000 times Gene up to infinitely approaching 100,000 times is the third level.

The first level can actually increase the Divine Body's height tenfold! For example, if it was originally only 100,000 kilometers high, it can leap to 1,000,000 kilometers high…… In terms of Divine Power, this actually amounts to a thousandfold increase. Moreover, this advantage will persist when becoming a True God, and even surpassing a True God.

The second level can increase the Divine Body's height a thousandfold! For humans, that would reach 100,000,000 kilometers high!

The third level is the most difficult, but after breaking through it is also the strongest; as long as one reaches this threshold, the Divine Body will attain the state of Size at Will and Infinite Divine Body!

Zhou Yang's goal is naturally to achieve the highest third level, or even the legendary 100,000-times Perfect Divine Body! In the law line, he has the Chaos Secret Mark.

In the Divine Power line, he has the Life Record.

It can be said that Zhou Yang's path to becoming a True God faces almost no obstacles! Even if he wishes, he can immediately break through to the True God Realm via the Divine Power line.

But now his Divine Power level has just reached just over 13,000 times; breaking through at this level would add very little to his strength, not even reaching the first level, almost the lowest grade of True God, which is naturally not what he pursues.

According to his plan, he naturally seeks to break through via the third level, or even the legendary 100,000-times Perfect Level.

Even with the Life Record as assistance, achieving this goal would likely take an extremely long time.

During this long period, he wholeheartedly studies the Chaos Secret Mark, striving to master it as soon as possible, so that he can use the Chaos Secret Mark as a basis to attempt to truly step into the threshold of the Chaos Law!

"Actually, speaking of it, even if I never cultivate, as the New Universe keeps growing, my strength will naturally increase as well."

Zhou Yang couldn't help but anticipate, "I just don't know what limit the New Universe's growth can reach."
