Chapter 255: Successful Sensing

In the New Universe, at a spot extremely close to the New Universe Boundary, Zhou Yang, clad in Dark Gold Battle Armor, sits cross‑legged.

Whoosh— the endless gray currents are swallowed through the New Universe's membrane, then swiftly broken down and transformed into various more tranquil fundamental forces.

Zhou Yang silently watches it all, endless radiance flickering in his eyes.

At this moment, within a few meters of him the flow of time has accelerated to the extreme, vaguely approaching a terrifying 17,000‑fold speed.

After all, it only maintains time acceleration in a few‑meter zone, so the ultimate limit can be even higher.

Under the near‑17,000‑fold acceleration, Zhou Yang's consciousness seems infinitely emptied, trying to sense a faint, extremely vague pulse.

Outside, his Doppelganger pilots the Supreme Treasure Palace, traversing the Universe Sea, seeking a particular trigger through the Sea's perilous spots and special environments.

In the New Universe, his true self sits cross‑legged at the New Universe Boundary, directly observing the transformation of Chaos Energy.

Deep within his consciousness, he also devotes himself to probing and deducing the Chaos Secret Pattern.

Now his will is already comparable to the limit of the Universe Strongest, and under such a powerful will, his deduction speed of the Chaos Secret Pattern has increased by an incalculable factor! Moreover, constantly reading the myriad powerful inheritances and Secret Techniques obtained from the Silver Token Space, countless novel cultivation ideas clash in his mind, and occasional flashes of insight surface in his heart.

With all these augmentations, Zhou Yang's comprehension of the Chaos Secret Pattern advances extremely quickly.

It has been nearly ten thousand years since the Duan Dong River inheritance ended, and if counted from when he received the Silver Token Space inheritance, it amounts to over twenty‑seven thousand years.

Outside, more than twenty‑seven thousand years have passed, yet Zhou Yang has been cultivating for hundreds of millions of years within the New Universe Time Acceleration Zone! After such an immense span of practice, plus myriad mysterious methods, Zhou Yang has now entered the final sprint of mastery over the entire Chaos Secret Pattern.

The whole Chaos Secret Pattern has a core that is merely a tiny 'point', and from that point emanate 'Time' and 'Space'.

'Time' and 'Space' intertwine, eventually spreading and differentiating into the eight more gentle and stable fundamental forces: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, and Light.

These eight fundamental forces can each be explained by 10,081 of the most basic 'Essences'.

From the Chaos 'point', to the two 'lines' of Time and Space, then to the 'network' formed by the Eight Fundamental Laws, and further to the entire 'Three-Dimensional Structure' built from 80,648 Types of Essences, each step decomposes and differentiates—this is the transformation of Chaos, a manifestation of 'creation'.

Reversing the entire Chaos Secret Pattern, looking from the outside inward, the 'Three-Dimensional Structure' collapses into a 'network', the 'network' abstracts into a 'line', and the 'line' intertwines into the final 'point'—this is the 'fusion' of Chaos, or what could be called 'destruction'! Transformation and fusion, creation and destruction are the two faces of Chaos, and Chaos itself is constantly in a dynamic cycle, perpetually shifting between the two forms.

It is like the birth and death of a life, like the birth and ruin of a universe, endlessly repeating within this 'cycle'.

The only difference is the time scale of the cycle, and Zhou Yang silently perceives this; before he knows it, his study and integration of the entire Chaos Secret Pattern has gradually approached its conclusion.

As the two 'lines' representing Time and Space intertwine, they finally twist and knot into a single 'point', and instantly—

"Hum~"

Zhou Yang feels his consciousness as if detached from his body, swiftly moving toward a certain mysterious yet vague wave.

However, that mysterious vague wave is far beyond his reach, and seems separated by a mysterious barrier; no matter how his consciousness draws near, it cannot breach the barrier ahead.

Only faint, extremely vague yet profoundly mysterious ripples keep arriving, causing his will to exult with joy.

And that is already enough!

In the New Universe, Zhou Yang's eyes seem to emit invisible divine light, and a hazy aura silently spreads from his body.

This aura is ancient, timeless, vast, and encompassing. Under its shroud, Zhou Yang becomes profoundly deep and unfathomable.

His body is like an invisible abyss, silently devouring everything around it. "Hahaha, finally, finally succeeded!"

The entire New Universe resonated with Zhou Yang's hearty laughter. From the Realm of the Overseer Period when he began studying the Ten Great Laws, to his first sighting of the Chaos Secret Pattern in the Temporal-Spatial Abyss, and now, he has spent nearly 160,000 years on the path of Law Fusion. Including the cultivation time in the New Universe Time Acceleration Zone, it exceeds one billion years!

One billion years—what an immense span!

The long years of study, combined with the New Universe's evolution, the Secret Pattern's diagram flow, a powerful will, the Silver Token Space inheritance, and countless other potent opportunities, finally—on this day—he completely comprehended the entire Chaos Secret Pattern! From now on, not only does the whole Chaos Secret Pattern become fully integrated, but it also allows him to sense a faint ripple of the complete Chaos Law!

Just as a Stellar Level being steps over the threshold of the Wood Law, now he too can be said to have taken a step across the threshold of the 'Chaos Law'!

Reaching this point, breaking through the True God Realm poses no difficulty for him.

If he spends enough time, he should easily be able to create a Secret Technique of the Universe Strongest rank!

Moreover, with the faint Chaos Law ripple he has sensed, he can truly commence cultivation of the Chaos Law.

Sensing the Chaos Law ripple at the Universe Master level is far, far more difficult than a Stellar Level sensing the Ten Fundamental Laws ripple!

Zhou Yang achieving this step shows his exceptionally high talent on this path.

As long as he continues to cultivate, with his understanding of the Chaos Law deepening step by step, it is highly likely he will master the 'Chaos Source', even fully comprehend the entire 'Chaos Law', and achieve the status of Chaos Overlord! A Chaos Overlord, even when placed on the entire Origin Continent, would unquestionably be a pinnacle powerhouse.

"Right now I'm not even a True God; thinking about that is still a bit premature."

Zhou Yang shakes his head and smiles, "But having successfully sensed the Chaos Law ripple, Wan Chu Zhen Jie can already be attempted for cultivation!"

Wan Chu Zhen Jie is a discipline that starts from the soul, harmonizing the soul with Chaos, sensing the Chaos Pulse, gradually strengthening the soul until it can command Chaos; cultivated to the extreme, it can directly reach the Chaos Realm Peak.

Moreover, its companion Heaven Soul Nine Strikes is an extremely powerful soul‑attack Secret Technique.

If Zhou Yang can master the first strike of Heaven Soul Nine Strikes, and wield the 'Dust‑Free' Divine Sword, his combat power should match that of most Universe Strongest across the Universe Sea!

"The Universe Master directly matching the Universe Strongest—thinking of that truly excites me!"

Zhou Yang smiles inwardly.

"Then let's begin!"

He no longer delays, instantly recalling the contents of Wan Chu Zhen Jie in his mind and beginning to practice.

The core of Wan Chu Zhen Jie lies in sensing the Chaos Pulse; the Chaos Law is the foundation of all laws, the core of the Universe's composition.

The creator of Wan Chu Zhen Jie believes that 'Chaos', like life in the Universe, also 'breathes' and has a 'heartbeat'.

Treating 'Chaos' as a living entity, sensing its special 'breathing' and 'heartbeat' pulses, and hammering the soul with these unique rhythms allows the soul to grow powerful while gradually resonating with 'Chaos', thereby drawing ever closer to 'Chaos', truly harmonizing with it until mastering Chaos! Honestly, reading the introductory description of this Secret Technique gave Zhou Yang a sense of 'astonishment'.

It was his first time encountering such a unique insight—viewing 'Chaos' as a life, resonating through sensing its 'breathing' and 'heartbeat' to approach and control Chaos; this brand‑new approach directly opened a gateway for Zhou Yang to a new world!

"Wonderful, beyond words!"

Zhou Yang cannot help but quickly immerse himself in the cultivation of understanding Wan Chu Zhen Jie.

However, as he tried repeatedly, his Doppelganger in the Original Universe received a summons from the Chaos City Lord.

"Come quickly to the Giant Axe Temple!"
