NOVPUBTL: Etude
The Sloth Beast World possessed an Innate Dao Stele, which intrigued not only the Divine Generals but also greatly excited the Earthly Venerables.
As a result, a large number of Earthly Venerables flocked to the Sloth Beast World. Initially, they feared the Sloth Beasts, but upon learning that the beasts would not interfere with them, they felt reassured and began attempting to enter the Sloth Beast World.
Some Earthly Venerables entered the Sloth Beast World with the help of the Divine Generals, while others, relying on their formidable strength, forcibly tore through the barriers of the Sloth Beast World and entered it.
Any Earthly Venerable capable of tearing through the barriers was a powerhouse among Earthly Venerables, each at the ten-star Earthly Venerable level and considered extremely powerful even within that tier.
As time passed, more and more Earthly Venerables arrived in the Sloth Beast World. The resources of the world were gradually depleted, but most Earthly Venerables were still focused on comprehending the Innate Dao Stele.
The Divine Generals were few in number and naturally did not prohibit the Earthly Venerables from their insights.
In the blink of an eye, a thousand years passed.
Ye Tian and the other Divine Generals remained immersed in their comprehension. None left, for encountering such a treasure as the Innate Dao Stele made them unwilling to waste any time. They aimed to perfect their understanding of the Innate Dao before leaving.
Ye Tian, utilizing the Innate Dao Stele, continually comprehended the Chaos Dao, his origin growing ever stronger, and his realm slowly advancing.
“It’s almost time. Once the Chaos Dao reaches the perfected Origin stage, a transformation will occur!”
Ye Tian had learned a secret from the Ox Race: once the Dao reached the perfected Origin stage, the origin would temper the entire body, breaking through a physical limit. The origin would then condense into a bead, transforming from an origin well into an origin bead.
Thus, this was an opportunity for Ye Tian to significantly increase his power.
If he truly broke through, given the strength of his Chaos Dao, he could instantly reach the level of a three-star Divine General.
After all, his Chaos Dao was the strongest Dao and the most perfect Chaos Dao. Even if others reached the perfected Origin stage, they would still be far inferior to his Dao.
To break through as quickly as possible, Ye Tian consumed numerous spirit medicines that enhanced comprehension. Coupled with the Innate Dao Stele, his comprehension speed increased even more.
Year after year passed! Ye Tian did not know exactly when he would break through; it could be the next second or it might take tens of thousands of years.
In short, he was just a hair’s breadth away from the perfected Origin stage.
A hundred years! A thousand years! Three thousand years! One day, Ye Tian suddenly heard a cracking sound in his mind, and a realization dawned on him.
Suddenly.
His Chaos Dao transformed into an origin well phenomenon, and the origin well continued to shrink while the origin rapidly condensed. The power contained within the Chaos Dao became increasingly terrifying.
This scene attracted the attention of the other Divine Generals and numerous Earthly Venerables.
“Divine General of Ten Thousand Laws is about to break through!” Divine General Primordial Era murmured.
With the breakthrough of his origin realm, Ye Tian’s previously hidden and suppressed aura could no longer be contained and instantly leaked out.
That extremely terrifying aura made the one-star Divine Generals feel fear and even suffocation. Even the few two-star Divine Generals trembled.
“What, a peak two-star Divine General!” They were shocked and could hardly believe it.
There were no peak two-star Divine Generals in the Cangyu Universe; the strongest Divine General there was only at the late two-star level. How could the small and weak Eternal Universe produce a peak two-star Divine General?
Moreover, Ye Tian was in the process of breaking through, potentially to the level of a three-star Divine General.
“The Divine General of Ten Thousand Laws is a defier of the heavens. If he crosses into a three-star Divine General, he could transcend!”
A one-star Divine General exclaimed.
The other Divine Generals’ expressions changed. Yes, a three-star Divine General who defied the heavens could attempt to transcend.
If successful, he would become a transcendent! This made many Divine Generals envious of Ye Tian, but none dared to show it.
After all, once Ye Tian became a three-star Divine General, he would be powerful enough to sweep them all away. They would not dare offend him!
Divine General Primordial Era and Divine General Stone Dragon were very pleased. The stronger Ye Tian became, the more beneficial it was for them. The other Divine Generals of the Cangyu Universe would be extremely wary and would not dare to attack the Eternal Universe.
After a while, the origin well had gradually transformed, compressing into a chaotic-colored bead that hovered above Ye Tian’s head.
This was his Origin Bead, the embodiment of his Dao.
Suddenly.
With a thunderous roar, an infinite amount of Chaos Dao’s origin power gushed out from the Origin Bead, pouring into Ye Tian’s body and tempering it at an incredible speed.
Seizing this opportunity, Ye Tian quickly refined his Profound Void Technique.
Originally at the perfected third layer, the Profound Void Technique now showed signs of breaking through. Not long after, the shackles of the technique shattered, and it formally advanced to the introductory stage of the fourth layer.
Simultaneously, Ye Tian’s physical body underwent a transformation.
His physical strength surged continuously, and his aura grew wildly.
Crack! A shattering sound echoed in the void, signifying the breaking of a power barrier.
At this moment, Ye Tian finally broke through the barrier between a two-star and a three-star Divine General, officially becoming a three-star Divine General powerhouse.
Opening his eyes, Ye Tian’s gaze seemed to penetrate the river of time, seeing the depths of his soul imprint submerged within the endless flow of time. The force of time’s power pulled at it, preventing it from leaving the river of time.
At this point, Ye Tian could attempt to pull his soul imprint, allowing it to transcend. Once the soul imprint left the river of time and returned to his body, it would signify transcendence.
However, doing so would mean facing the final tribulation of a defier of the heavens—the Tribulation of Transcendence! Ye Tian had a feeling that he might not be able to overcome this tribulation at his current level! Of course, even if he could overcome it, he would not attempt it now. Achieving transcendence only as an ordinary transcendent was not his goal.
“Congratulations, Divine General of Ten Thousand Laws!”
“Congratulations, Divine General of Ten Thousand Laws!”
“Congratulations, Divine General of Ten Thousand Laws!”
One by one, the Divine Generals stood up to congratulate Ye Tian, but most of their congratulations were just superficial. Their true feelings remained unknown.
Ye Tian responded briefly before continuing his comprehension, and the other Divine Generals, not wanting to waste time, also resumed their own insights.
Perhaps stimulated by Ye Tian, these Divine Generals began taking out some treasures to consume, accelerating their comprehension speed.
Unfortunately, they could not even necessarily make up for the flaws in their Dao, so reaching Ye Tian’s level was almost impossible for them.
“Now, my origin has perfected and transformed into an Origin Bead. The next step is to condense a true Dao of my own.”
Previously, it had been about comprehending the Dao, which was chaotic and not his own.
Only by condensing his own Dao would it truly belong to him.
In the chaos, those in the perfected True Spirit Realm that could completely carve out their own Dao and condense a true Dao, could step into the Grand Dao Realm. Once the Dao was perfected and fully integrated with themselves, it would be the Harmony Realm!
From a realm perspective, it seemed that perfection of the origin and condensing the Dao were just a step apart, but in reality, there were many steps involved.
First, carving out one’s own Dao—this step alone hindered countless powerhouses, even some weaker True Spirit Realm experts had not achieved this. 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
Second, after carving out one’s own Dao, it must be condensed into a nascent Dao and then slowly nurtured, which also required a long period.
The third step was to start the Dao World. Without this, how could a complete Dao exist within oneself? Once the Dao World was established, it meant the origin transformed into the Dao World.
Ye Tian had just reached the perfected Origin stage. As for how to proceed to the next step, he had no clue.
After spending a few years stabilizing his realm, Ye Tian attempted to use the Innate Dao Stele to comprehend some divine abilities, aiming to advance a few of his Great Divine Abilities to the minor accomplishment realm, but he found it too difficult.
Perhaps with a long period, he could achieve this, but Ye Tian could not afford to waste so much time.
In short, the Innate Dao Stele was no longer of great use to him.
