Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

However, as the world descends into chaos, not only does the universe itself disappear, but also its destruction.

"It's been blocked!"

Sphia's mind was calm, as if she had entered a state of unconsciousness.

Simply blocking the attack is not enough; you also need the power to kill the opponent.

The attack was blocked, and a slight look of surprise flashed across the armored beast warrior's face before he regained his composure, still gripping the spear with both hands, and once again unleashed the attack that returned to chaos.

"The sixth axe!"

Buzz!

The stone axe trembled incessantly. At this moment, Sphia's clone was completely connected to the weapon in her hand, becoming one with it, and began to trace the most essential origin of the weapon's material.

Sphia's clone stood in the void, her hands apart, and the original stone axe instantly split into two, one representing the stone axe and the other representing herself.

An axe of destruction gives birth to new life from destruction; an axe of creation unleashes destruction from creation.

when!

The tips of the two stone axes collided violently, and the forces of destruction and creation intertwined, together constructing the origin of all things.

"The Sixth Axe - Origin!"

The mind of the Specia clone traced back to the original origin amidst destruction and creation, as if it were the will of the origin world, wielding the power in its hands.

A spear pierced into the origin, seemingly trying to trace its own origins.

"Destroy!"

A ray of primordial light rose from the stone axe, completely enveloping the Specia clone and the armored beast warrior.

The destructive power was continuously melted and annihilated in the light, transforming into the primordial origin.

Finally, the light faded, leaving only a weary Spyia clone.

Chapter 488 Stopping and Cultivation

"The sixth level of the Divine Tower!"

Sphia's clone glanced at the gatekeeper of this level, then turned and left without looking back.

"We can't beat them, we can't beat them at all!"

Sphia's clone was quite self-aware; it was already at its limit to be able to utilize this physical body to its fullest potential, reaching a power comparable to the threshold of the Chaos Overlord level.

It is completely impossible to reach a level comparable to a normal Chaos Overlord.

The Lord of Chaos possesses complete mastery of the laws of chaos, his divine power has reached its peak, his willpower techniques have also reached a profound level, and he has no shortage of various secret arts and primordial embryos.

As for the Mechanical Flow Treasure, according to Sphia's clone, the Origin Continent has not yet researched a Mechanical Flow Treasure that can be equipped to Chaos Overlords, such as True Gods, and directly increase their level.

There might be one or two such items, but they would all fall into a situation where powerful Chaos Overlords cannot amplify them, and weaker Chaos Overlords cannot afford to use them.

Therefore, the development of the Mechanical Flow Treasures essentially stagnated once it reached the threshold of the Chaos Overlord level.

The sixth level of the Divine Tower requires normal Chaos Overlord level strength to pass, and only the most outstanding geniuses among the Eternal True Gods can achieve this.

With most amplification methods completely eliminated, one can basically only rely on secret techniques or secret arts.

However, for Sphia's clone, it is not impossible to pass the sixth or even the seventh level of the God Tower in the Eternal Realm.

With his talent and background, it shouldn't be a problem for him to cultivate diligently for a full cycle of time in the outside world.

However, if he were to cultivate diligently for an entire cycle of reincarnations, he wouldn't be able to reach the Chaos Ruler realm, let alone the God King realm.

Back then, the combat power of the sixth or even seventh level of the Divine Tower? One palm strike could easily kill a large number of them.

His own realm has grown so much that it has even surpassed the research on the limits of combat power.

"If it were Zetton or Ultraman, with their talents, they should be able to pass the sixth or even the seventh floor of the tower."

Sphia's clone thought, "However, both of them are very special. One is a born god-king conceived under the supreme rules, and the other is a cosmic life form acquired later in life. In essence, they do not belong to the realm of eternal true gods."

Without attempting to reach the sixth level, Sphia's clone chose to leave the God Tower.

However, after Sphia's clone left, it did not appear at the entrance, but instead went to another hall.

Apart from the avatars of Sphia, all of them are eternal true gods.

At the very front stood a tall man dressed in animal skins.

“My name is Nuo. You can call me Lord Nuo. With my strength, I am worthy of being called ‘you’.”

Master Nuo smiled slightly and said, "I have also passed the eighth level of the Divine Tower that you just challenged."

"The eighth floor!"

Sphia's clone's mind stirred. This strength was among the top of the Chaos Rulers. Even if all the Eternal True Gods present were tied together, they probably wouldn't be able to defeat him with one hand.

"Lord Nuo!"

The crowd spoke respectfully, which was also a sign of respect for their strength. Although some people were also very confident in themselves, they were still far from being able to achieve their goals.

"Yes, those who are here have all passed the fourth level of the Divine Tower. You are the future of my Origin Clan, and perhaps you will all be able to surpass me in the future."

Master Nuo laughed heartily and made a beautiful wish. Among these people, let alone surpassing him, it would already be difficult for even a few to reach his level.

"The temple has gathered you here for reasons you may know or may have guessed."

The many eternal true gods nodded. There were only a few major events that could cover the entire race, but they were just lacking some definite answers.

"However, you don't need to worry. For now, you can just focus on cultivating here. The entire selection process will continue for another hundred million epochs."

"I hope to see more talented people emerge."

"Master Nuo said expectantly, but his heart was extremely calm. Although one hundred million epochs is a long time, at most a few beings will pass through the fourth or fifth level of the God Tower. It can't bring about any major qualitative change for the Eternal True God."

Then, Master Nuo scanned the surroundings, and numerous spatial portals in gold, silver, and bronze appeared on the inner walls of the hall.

"Those who pass the fourth level of the Divine Tower can enter through the bronze gate, those who pass the fifth level can enter through the silver gate, and those who pass the sixth level can enter through the golden gate..." Master Nuo said slowly.

Although we have reached a critical moment, the differences and competition are what create pressure and motivation.

"treatment!"

Looking at the three different types of gates, many eternal gods did indeed feel a sense of unwillingness to admit defeat.

After all, those who can get here have all passed the fourth level of the Divine Tower and can be considered geniuses even among the Eternal True Gods. They will not easily admit that they are inferior to others.

This period of one hundred million epochs is their last chance to fight, to see if a miracle can be created in this desperate situation.

It also gives other eternal true gods a chance to see if they can make a breakthrough in one hundred million epochs, even if it's just passing through the fourth level.

Although the difference between the third and fourth levels is only one level, their status is worlds apart.

"And what about after passing the seventh level of the Divine Tower?" asked an Eternal True God.

"The Eternal True God has passed the seventh level of the Divine Tower?" Master Nuo smiled mysteriously, without answering the question.

The other Eternal Gods also understood that if such a genius had truly appeared, the major leaders would likely have been alerted, rather than a Chaos Ruler watching over them.

To reach the level of a Chaos Ruler at the Eternal True God level is already the height of genius. After all, being able to cultivate to the level of an Eternal True God is already considered genius, let alone a Chaos Ruler.

In this case, how powerful must one's aptitude and comprehension be to be able to rival or even surpass ordinary Chaos Rulers?

Subsequently, the numerous Eternal Gods proceeded to the corresponding spatial gates according to the levels they had traversed.

Sphia's clone glanced around and saw that the vast majority of people were heading towards the silver and bronze spatial realms. Among the many eternal true gods present, not a single one had even passed the sixth level of the God Tower.

The Nuo master in front also noticed this, and his expression showed a hint of disappointment.

Although this level of the Divine Tower does not represent future achievements, some beings who have passed the sixth level of the Divine Tower may still stop at the Chaos Ruler realm and cannot reach the ultimate God King.

Some people who may not have tried to break through to the fourth or fifth level eventually reached the realm of Chaos Ruler, or even God King.

But the chances are much higher overall, and the proportion is even more astonishing.

Those who can pass the sixth level of the Divine Tower in the Eternal True God realm have a far higher probability of reaching the God King realm than those below them.

As for those eternal true gods who can only pass through the third level of gods, there may only be one among countless beings who can defy fate and change their destiny.

……

The portals came in three colors; besides the golden one, there were plenty of the others, enough for everyone present to choose from.

During this time, Sphia's clone also encountered Chaos God. Chaos God had only passed the third level. Due to his slightly weaker combat power, he was stuck on the fourth level and had not yet passed it. He was still working on it.

After a brief exchange, Sphia's clone walked out through a silver door.

Upon entering, Sphia's clone almost thought he had arrived in the origin space of the universe.

Within this vast and boundless space, the primordial energy of the universe is incredibly abundant. No matter what kind of injury one suffers, one can easily recover in a short time.

"The laws governing this space must have been altered!"

Sphia's clone vaguely sensed something; it seemed that the one who created these cultivation chambers must be the God-King, as some of the subtle rules were completely different from those in the outside world.

The primordial universe could grant the true god the power to make his words come true, and as the god-king of the universe itself, he could naturally do even better.

"The flow of time is far faster than outside, reaching a hundred times. It seems that the Temple of Origin has also spent a lot of money."

Sphia's clone compared the time difference between the inside and outside and was immediately surprised.

The core of time acceleration lies in realm and environment. The higher the cultivator's realm, the wider the environment covered by acceleration, and the higher the cost required for time acceleration.

The time acceleration in this secret realm is a holistic, world-wide acceleration.

Whether you are cultivating, comprehending the laws, or learning secret techniques within it, you can enjoy a hundredfold acceleration of time, which is crucial.

Like the black-veined stone pillars in the cosmic sea, while they are said to accelerate time, they actually affect differences in thought more.

For example, if you comprehend the fundamental laws of ten thousand years in the outside world, but you do so with the help of a black-veined stone pillar that accelerates the process ten thousand times, the quantified fundamental laws you comprehend might only take around twenty or thirty thousand years, not hundreds of millions of years. The effect is not that exaggerated.

The extra tens of thousands of years were mostly spent on unifying secret techniques or finding some inspiration.

This kind of time acceleration is more effective for things that require a long time to solve or for those that require diligent study and practice, such as studying the Rhinoceros King's Formation or gene structure. It is not very effective for comprehending the laws.

As for mastering secret techniques and using secret arts in reality, even if one has accumulated divine power for ten thousand years, it would still take seventy to eighty million years to recover under the acceleration of the black-patterned stone pillar, and it might even take longer. In the outside world, it would still take ten thousand years.

The reason it feels so effective is simply because of the existence of a person with great talent, who can quickly accumulate ideas after inspiration strikes.

It is people who are stronger, not time that is accelerated.
