Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 1041

The former refers to the basic units that constitute the world, while the latter refers to the rules governing the operation of these basic units, much like the difference between 0 and 1 in data and data software.

The combination of the two is the Origin World!

Forced by the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, Lu Yunhe also pushed his own understanding to the limit, using the Origin Dao and rules he had comprehended to leverage more power through his position as the Lord of the World, thereby causing the Origin World to unleash even greater power.

The fact that Lu Yunhe can operate according to his own rules to replace the rules of the entire Origin World means that his understanding of the Dao has reached the Hunyuan level.

By substituting his own heart for the will of Heaven, and transforming the will of Heaven into his own heart, under the coercion of the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, Lu Yunhe's understanding of the Origin Dao and the system of rules became increasingly profound.

The two core entities that were originally clearly distinct gradually merged.

The Origin, the Rules of Operation, the Supreme Will—the Origin World has long laid out all its secrets there.

Lu Yunhe had already entered a state of enlightenment, his own will transforming into a void of perception that merged into it.

It is not enough for the original Dao and rules to operate alone; there must be a will involved, because it is life.

The world first had its original principles and rules, and then the supreme will was born, because they were innate creations.

However, those who cultivate later in life need to do the opposite, because due to their own will, the original Dao and the operation of the rules they comprehend cannot generate will, and they must make up for it.

In an instant, Lu Yunhe comprehended a new branch of the primordial path.

Chapter 916 Calling the Snake

Under the pressure from the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, Lu Yunhe's comprehension of the Origin World reached another peak, and he also understood exactly where he was missing.

"The Source World is truly the best teacher, having written everything there," Lu Yunhe couldn't help but exclaim.

Whether it's the primordial path, the operation of rules, or the supreme will, cultivators wander aimlessly within rigid frameworks, only to discover in the end that everything is right there.

Lu Yunhe was not surprised by this result. He was not a born Hunyuan expert. The growth of a life inevitably requires imitating those who are born powerful.

However, in the process of imitation, they thought they had embarked on a new path, a path that belonged to them, but in the end, they still could not escape the cage.

"The Lord of Hunyuan is an immortal being. To say that he has transcended the shackles of the Dao is an understatement; rather, it is more accurate to say that he is on par with the Dao itself," Lu Yunhe reasoned in his mind.

Lu Yunhe had a clear understanding of the path ahead: to integrate his will with the original Dao and the rules, which was the supreme will.

For practitioners, it should be called self-will.

As for the equally important material origin, the endless primordial space has no shortage of energy.

If one's own will is not involved, and one blindly pursues the quantity of the original path, one may become an anomaly among cultivators, the progenitor of cultivators, lacking the immortal and indestructible abilities of a lord.

If one's own will cannot be integrated into the Dao, it will naturally lack the Dao's immortality.

“Seizing the supreme will is world-level, fusing with the origin of the source world is ancestor-level, and fusing with the Dao is lord-level.” Lu Yunhe thought of the current state of Ultraman's clone.

The supreme will can be enslaved and possessed, and the origin of the world can be easily annihilated. Only the "Tao" can be destroyed by any means so far.

Among the Primordial Ancestors, there were beings even more powerful than the immortal ones, but they did not possess the latter's immortality, and that is the key point.

"Immortal and indestructible? I don't believe it!"

Lu Yunhe didn't believe in this concept. After all, even those who were enfeoffed as Marquis Immortals were said to be immortal, yet they were still killed by those who were enfeoffed as King Immortals.

This doesn't even require a higher-level cosmic venerable; a minor-level king-level being is enough to solve the immortality problem of a marquis-level being.

"So, do you want to become the king of the infinite primordial space?" Lu Yunhe really wanted to test whether a lord-level being could actually be killed.

However, he needs to become a lord first. Right now, it's just speculation. He's not even a lord yet, so don't expect to kill one.

No, the most important thing right now is to deal with the threat from the Infinite Serpent Ancestor outside.

Although he had some enlightenment and even comprehended a new primordial path, which made his own power stronger, he was still extremely vulnerable in front of the Infinite Serpent Ancestor.

The gap between the two has not narrowed; in fact, it will continue to widen as the battle progresses, because the Origin World cannot compete with the Primordial Chaos Ancestor in terms of attrition and can only passively take hits.

"Passively taking the beating!"

Lu Yunhe's heart skipped a beat. This was not what he wanted. He had to fight back.

With Lu Yunhe's will, the surface of the World Disc suddenly changed slightly. The originally hazy disc gradually became smooth, like a mirror.

Countless honeycomb-like structures formed the mirror surface, and rays of light surged beneath it, as the primordial power began to operate.

Countless beams of primordial light converged at one point and erupted outwards in a manner reminiscent of a world-ending cataclysm.

boom!

A beam of light streaked across the void, blasting directly at the Infinite Serpent Ancestor like a laser cannon.

However, although Lu Yunhe clearly aimed his attack at the body of the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, it strangely ended up striking the Infinite Abyss Black Hole in the Serpent Ancestor's mouth.

The power that wanted to devour an entire source world easily swallowed up the beam of light.

"Is this what they call aptitude for a cultivator?"

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor's pupils reflected the brilliance of the world; even world-class beings relying on the source world had no power to resist it.

But the cultivator before it was not only constantly resisting its attacks, but also launching a counterattack, seemingly trying to drive it away.

"An unrealistic dream!"

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor chewed once, completely digesting the incoming power of the Origin World.

"Let me end your future."

Rumble…

The surrounding space trembled violently, rapidly solidifying like a steel bar.

At the same time, the black body of the Serpent Ancestor, which had been infinitely elongated, began to spiral towards the direction of the World Disc.

Under the influence of a certain extreme space and infinite power, the Serpent Ancestor's body gave people the feeling of being infinitely extended.

One lap... two laps... three laps...

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor circled the space surrounding the World Disc, endlessly squeezing the Source World.

"These naturally occurring, chaotic beings are truly disgusting!"

Seeing the Infinite Serpent Ancestor's actions, Lu Yunhe cursed inwardly.

These naturally occurring, undifferentiated beings, once they discover that their enemies are not so easy to deal with, all want to drag them into a battle of absolute power.

It must be said that in terms of the accumulation of power and origin, naturally born chaotic life forms are indeed a cut above, which is their inherent advantage.

Just as no naturally born primordial being would compete with lords in skill or comprehension of the Dao.

Lu Yunhe really had no choice. Making the Origin World bigger or smaller was fine, but making it move around freely like a normal living being was too much of a challenge for a world-class cultivator.

Not to mention, it happened right under the nose of one of the founders of the Hunyuan school.

The immobile Origin World is nothing more than a sitting duck in the eyes of the Infinite Serpent Ancestor.

The more the Infinite Serpent Ancestor coiled, the closer it got to the Origin World.

When the Infinite Serpent Ancestor had circled for the fifth time, its body had already landed at the edge of what was once the Origin World.

When it circled for the sixth time, the snake's body reached one-tenth of the position where the source world had shrunk.

Lu Yunhe could see that these hovering bodies were not all materialized; they also contained a large amount of void principles and infinite power.

"It would be great if we could study the power of the Primordial Ancestor of Chaos," Lu Yunhe suddenly thought.

The innate chaotic life forms below the progenitor are not of great significance to him, but the progenitor who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the source world has other reference value.

Unfortunately, unless the progenitor can be killed, at this level, leaving the opponent's living body intact is no easier than killing them.

Without even a thought, matter detached from the body will spontaneously annihilate and lose all function. This is a function that even immortal gods can achieve, let alone the Primordial Ancestor.

A thought flashed through his mind, and Lu Yunhe once again attached his will to the Supreme Will, participating in the operation of the Origin World's fundamental rules.

Having figured out the path to the future, Lu Yunhe no longer used his status as the master of the world to dominate and manipulate it as before.

Then, try your best to participate in the workings of the world and become a part of it, although this part is a bit too large.

One's own will, in conjunction with the supreme will, propels the source world, using one's own understanding of the primordial Dao to control the power of the primordial source.

Thousands of fundamental paths, even if many of them are only at the initial stage, are enough to form a huge lever.

The black serpent coiled its body, and with each coil, it drew closer and closer to the world disc.

At the same time, Lu Yunhe felt as if the Origin World was tightly bound by a tight band. Every tremor of the black serpent was like tightening the band, squeezing the Origin World frantically.

The space surrounding the source world shrank tighter and tighter, suppressing the entire world so that even a tremor could not be raised.

Looking at the world disk that it had encircled, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor opened its blood-red maw even wider, and the attraction of the Infinite Abyss also increased exponentially.

Rumble…

The entire Origin World began to teeter on the brink of collapse, as if it were about to fall into an endless abyss.

In the void, a long, black serpent coiled around an egg, then opened its blood-red maw, attempting to swallow it whole.

"You want to devour my Origin World!"

The Source World was equivalent to his body, and all his feelings were ultimately fed back into Lu Yunhe's will.

At this moment, it wasn't the Origin World being devoured by the black serpent before him, but rather he himself being eaten.

The origin of the source world roared, and Lu Yunhe's will soared to its peak.

"Crush it for me!"

Lu Yunhe's heart stirred, and with a "crack," the surface of the Origin World shattered like an eggshell.

boom!

The detached membrane of the world sometimes transformed into sharp weapons, piercing directly into the body of the giant serpent, and sometimes into detonating bombs, exploding directly in mid-air.

A series of booming and shattering sounds rang out as fragments were forcefully embedded into the body of the black serpent.

The continuous explosions shattered the space that was almost solidified by the pressure from the Infinite Serpent Ancestor.

The compressed space began to **, and even squeezed the body of the Infinite Serpent Ancestor in the opposite direction.

Faced with this series of attacks, the coiled body of the Infinite Serpent Ancestor loosened slightly, and its originally open serpent head closed due to the series of explosions.

However, with a sudden inhale from the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, all the overflowing primal power around him was swallowed up, and his injured body was rapidly recovering.

"Hmph, too close!"
