60: Ninth-order Divine Sense

When 38% of the Law of Ice was completely sacrificed, transforming into a majestic torrent that poured into the silver seed, the silver glow of that Divine Sense did indeed grow stronger, but it was still far from the threshold of the Eighth-Rank Divine Sense, which was as vast as a sea of stars!

Lin Yuan's Divine Sense trembled violently, like the last oil lamp in a storm, its light flickering unsteadily, ready to be extinguished completely at any moment.

A sense of weakness originating from the depths of his Soul engulfed him like a tidal wave, as if he were about to sink into eternal darkness the very next second.

"Eighth-Rank Divine Sense..." The voice emitted by his Divine Sense was dry and hoarse, like gravel grinding against rusted iron. "It is still so far away, let alone... the Ninth-Rank..." Every word carried a tearing pain.

He took a sharp breath, and the action sent a sharp pain through his Divine Sense, which was on the verge of collapse.

His gaze locked firmly onto the silver ribbon flowing endlessly in his Sea of Consciousness, radiating an eternal rhythm—the complete Time Law!

The energy it contained far exceeded that of ordinary Laws; sacrificing it would provide a terrifying additional bonus of double the amount!

As a supreme Law that transcended all others, its value was immeasurable; completely sacrificing it would be enough to provide a monstrous 60 million stars of spiritual energy!

"Sacrifice!!"

Lin Yuan's Divine Sense let out a roar that was almost a scream, filled with the resolve to burn his bridges!

The silver ribbon, symbolizing the great power of time, instantly transformed into a majestic silver Dragon, letting out a roar that shook his Sea of Consciousness as it fiercely collided with that greedy seed!

"Hum—!!!"

The entire Sea of Consciousness was completely swallowed by a blinding silver-gray radiance!

Under the infusion of the violent energy, the seed trembled and compressed madly, its volume rapidly shrinking to the size of a walnut.

Its surface was no longer simple patterns, but instead, layers upon layers of complex and extremely profound three-dimensional dao patterns emerged!

The light shifted from silver to purple, finally settling into a deep, noble purple-gold that seemed to contain the ultimate mysteries of the Universe!

A terrifying fluctuation that froze even the Soul began to diffuse from within it!

"Still not enough... Ninth-Rank... still not enough!" Lin Yuan's Divine Sense was already as weak as a thread in the wind, but the core of his will burned with an unprecedentedly hot flame!

A ruthless look flashed in his consciousness! Gritting his teeth, he kept the last trace of the Time Law seedling (2.25%) and began the most cruel stripping process on himself!

The heat of the Fire Law, the gravity of the Gravity Law, the pull of the Magnetic Law... one by one, the Law ribbons he had painstakingly comprehended and which formed the cornerstone of his power were forcibly extracted from his Soul Origin!

Each extraction was like carving out a piece of his Soul Origin with a red-hot, dull knife!

An indescribable, intense pain swept through his entire body, and his consciousness was repeatedly pulled to the edge of collapse! Yet the madness and persistence in his eyes did not waver in the slightest!

In the end, except for the foundational 15% Chaos Law, 10% Law of Destruction, and the retained 2.25% Time Law.

All other Law powers were squeezed down to a pitiful 1% comprehension level and poured entirely into that purple-gold seed!

All his power, all his pain, and all his hope converged here!

In the center of his Sea of Consciousness, that purple-gold seed suddenly fell into complete silence!

Then— "Boom!!!"

A nine-colored divine light, indescribable in its color, erupted from within the seed like the first ray of light at the dawn of creation!

The beam of light instantly pierced through Lin Yuan's Physical Body barrier, ignoring all obstacles, and shot straight into the sky!

Within the beam of light, billions of runes shimmering with different Law Profound Truths danced and spun wildly around the core of the beam like joyous elves, enacting the magnificent scene of the Universe's birth and destruction!

The entire beam of light seemed to be performing a supreme ceremony to crown a new king!

Outside the Azure Dragon Hall, Feng Tianxiu was leisurely sipping a cup of spiritual tea when, suddenly, his entire body shook violently!

The priceless jade cup in his hand shattered with a "crack"! He looked up abruptly, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets, staring fixedly at the nine-colored beam of light that shot up from Lin Yuan's cultivation room, piercing heaven and earth!

Wherever the beam of light passed, space shattered inch by inch like fragile glass, sending out ripples of destruction!

Furthermore, faint, indistinct sounds of the Great Dao, as if from the very beginning of Chaos, echoed between heaven and earth, cleansing the Souls of everyone who heard them!

"Nine... Nine-colored divine light?!" Feng Tianxiu's voice was sharp and distorted, filled with unparalleled shock and awe, and his body was trembling slightly.

"This... could this be... the Ninth-Rank Divine Sense from the legends of the epoch?! This... how could this possibly exist in the world?!" He felt his understanding of reality completely overturned!

Inside the cultivation room, Lin Yuan's Breakthrough had reached the final stage! The surface of the purple-gold seed, which was nurturing the supreme Divine Sense, emitted a faint "crack," and a tiny fissure appeared!

Immediately after, a speck of tender green containing infinite vitality, like the first touch of life piercing through Chaos, stubbornly poked its head out!

Then came a growth that shocked the Universe!

The sprout grew and stretched madly at a speed that transcended the perception of time! Its branches were gnarled like dragons, and its roots were deeply embedded in the Void Realm!

In the blink of an eye, a towering giant tree, a thousand meters high, with lush branches and leaves, and flowing with nine-colored divine radiance, stood proudly in the center of Lin Yuan's Sea of Consciousness! Its canopy seemed capable of holding up the stars, and its roots seemed able to pierce through the netherworld!

"divine sense tree emerges, God-Cultivation Realm—complete!"

Accompanied by this Dao shout that seemed to come from ancient times, an unimaginably terrifying Aura, like billions of volcanoes erupting simultaneously, exploded from Lin Yuan's body!

"Hum—Boom!!!"

All the protective Formations inscribed in the cultivation room could not even last for a single breath; the runes instantly dimmed, twisted, disintegrated, and let out shrill, mournful cries!

The walls were forged from the supposedly indestructible Star Essence Gold, but at this moment, under the crushing pressure of this pure Aura, they were covered with dense, bottomless cracks like spiderwebs!

The entire cultivation room was teetering on the edge, as if it would completely turn into dust the next moment!

[Current Status Panel] Name: Lin Yuan Realm: First Layer of God-Cultivation Realm (Ninth-Rank Divine Sense) Core combat power: 100 Yu (1 Yu = 1 million stars) Equipment bonus: Not applicable (chaos heaven-grade sword: 0.2 Yu, Law garment: 0.4 Yu) Eternal Evolution Body: 3 Yu (Not applicable) Primordial Dao Body: 1 Yu Divine Sense Skill: Not yet comprehended Law power: 14.475 Yu Chaos Law (15%): 7.5 Yu Law of Destruction (10%): 3 Yu Time Law (2.25%): 0.675 Yu Other residual Laws: 3.3 Yu Total combat power: 115.475 Yu

Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes. Deep within his pupils, a seven-colored divine brilliance swirled for an instant like a galaxy, then returned to a profound calm.

With a slight movement of his mind, a strand of intangible Divine Sense swept across the wall like the most skillful craftsman. A miracle occurred!

Those hideous cracks closed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the shattered bricks and stones automatically flew back into place, fitting perfectly! The direct interference of high-rank Divine Sense with the material plane was terrifying indeed!

"This is... the power of the Ninth-Rank Divine Sense..." Lin Yuan felt the completely different power system brought by the towering divine sense tree within him.

A realization flashed in his heart, "In past battles, I needed to divide my focus to mobilize various powers and stack them, which always led to stagnation! Now that the Divine Sense is formed, one thought can move mountains and fill seas, overturning galaxies! In future cultivation, all forms of great power can be fused into the Divine Sense; even the power of Laws can be attempted to be incorporated into the Divine Sense Origin! The path of God-Cultivation is to nourish this tree, making its branches lush and leaves dense, until... it supports a Universe!"

Just as he was comprehending his new Realm, another change occurred!

The Primordial Purple Qi that had been dormant in his body suddenly became incredibly violent!

Like an awakened ancient Vicious Beast, it transformed into a monstrous torrent, madly rushing through his limbs, bones, and meridians!

Boundless, immense power instantly filled every inch of his flesh and blood, as if billions of purple-gold Dragons were galloping and roaring within him! Lin Yuan's heart tightened, and he immediately introspected into his data panel:

[Primordial Purple Qi Fusion rate: 50%] [Daily evolution points + 100,000] [Chaos-grade talent—Primordial Dao Body Awakening degree 1% → 10%!] [Primordial Dao Body (10%)] combat power + 100 Yu! Awakened ability: Life and Death Creation, Devouring and Absorption! Awakened Devouring Law 1%!

Indeed! The Fusion rate of the Primordial Purple Qi skyrocketed to 50%, and the daily evolution points surged to 100,000! Moreover, the Awakening of the Primordial Dao Body had undergone a qualitative leap, jumping directly to 10%!

What surprised him even more was that he had actually awakened such a Heaven-Defying ability as "Devouring and Absorption," and through this, had initially comprehended the Devouring Law!

At this moment, he felt an unprecedentedly close connection with the Primordial Purple Qi, as if he were a part of Grandmist, and with every gesture, he could invoke that primordial power of creation!

Lin Yuan's mind stirred slightly, and his vast and majestic Ninth-Rank Divine Sense spread silently, like an invisible net covering heaven and earth, instantly shrouding the entire main hall of the Spirit Martial Hall!

In an instant, everything in the hall was revealed in minute detail: the faint circulation of Spiritual Qi when Disciples were breathing, the obscure fluctuations of Cultivation Techniques when Elders were in secluded meditation, the ripples of emotion when deacons were handling affairs...

He could even clearly "see" the majestic power flowing endlessly like a great river within Feng Tianxiu outside the hall, containing the true meaning of the Dao!

The entire Spirit Martial Hall, under his Divine Sense, no longer held any secrets! He was the supreme Dominator of this world!

"Lin Yuan... little friend... no!" Feng Tianxiu's voice came from outside the hall, filled with unprecedented solemnity and a hint of imperceptible awe, piercing through the perception of his Divine Sense. "Fellow Daoist Lin Yuan! Could you... appear for a chat?"

Lin Yuan retracted his Divine Sense, and the pressure that covered heaven and earth instantly vanished. He pushed open the door of the cultivation room, which was covered in cracks and teetering on the edge of collapse.

Outside the door, Feng Tianxiu stood in the courtyard, his expression extremely complex: shock, ecstasy, envy, worry... all kinds of emotions were intertwined.

"Brother Feng." Lin Yuan cupped his hands, his attitude still carrying respect for his Senior. "Thank you for your protection during this Breakthrough."

Upon hearing this, Feng Tianxiu showed an extremely bitter smile on his face and waved his hands repeatedly: "Protection? How could this old man dare to claim such credit! Your Breakthrough..."

He took a deep breath, as if trying to suppress the turbulent waves in his heart, his voice lowered extremely, his expression as solemn as if facing an apocalypse. "Ninth-Rank Divine Sense... throughout the endless years of the Central Continent, every generation has had peerless Prodigies condense it... but in the Six-Star Great World, it has never happened since ancient times! If a single shred of this matter leaks..."

His gaze was like lightning, staring fixedly at Lin Yuan. "It will surely attract the most greedy and terrifying gazes from many Great Worlds! Remember, you must never let a third person know!" The last sentence was decisive, carrying an unquestionable warning!
