317: Conditions for Breaking Through Half-Step Eternity

bodhi pills can permanently increase a being's comprehension by a million times, and the strength of comprehension, in addition to being related to talent, is also related to the true spirit Realm.

The true spirit encompasses spirit, will, soul, memory, thought, deduction, and so on... Therefore, when the true spirit is strong, comprehension will naturally be higher.

Lin Chen's current true spirit Realm is at the Great Emperor Realm Eighth Level, and the power of a true spirit at this level is terrifying.

When the true spirit is released, it can instantly perceive everything within a radius of ten billion light-years!

His brain can process ten billion thoughts every second, and its deduction ability is frighteningly strong!

Om—

After the bodhi pill entered Lin Chen's body, it instantly transformed into a mysterious power that surged into his brain region.

At this moment, Lin Chen only felt his thoughts become incredibly clear, and the speed of his brain's thought processing rapidly increased.

At the same time, the profound mysteries of the Great Dao, which previously took a long time to comprehend, he could now grasp in an instant!

Moreover, building upon this, he could even infer other concepts from one, performing deeper analyses of the Great Dao's profound mysteries... Lin Chen thoroughly enjoyed this feeling, as if his soul had ascended, and he seemed to have become an omniscient deity!

A month later, Lin Chen had fully absorbed the medicinal effects of the bodhi pill.

His comprehension had increased by 1 million times compared to before!

Lin Chen guessed that his current level of comprehension ability was comparable to a true Eternal Realm expert!

At this moment, his eyes were profound, with endless Great Dao profound mysteries revolving within them.

The next moment, 71 clones appeared.

The comprehension of these clones was now the same as Lin Chen's main body.

The clones comprehending the Great Dao profound mysteries was like 71 Eternal Realm-level powerful beings working together with one heart.

Lin Chen's comprehension of the Genesis-level Taiyi Great Dao began to increase rapidly!

He compared it and found that while the current comprehension speed was still not as fast as directly spending Energy Points to upgrade, it was already very close!

"It seems this choice was correct!"

"Clones comprehending saved me too many Energy Points!"

However, Lin Chen knew that this method of comprehending with the help of clones actually had significant limitations.

In the later stages, if he wanted to comprehend Eternal Realm-level Great Dao, the number of his clones would also have to increase, and by a lot.

Also, for breakthroughs in major Realms, relying on clones would take a very long time.

For example, breaking through to the Eternal Realm... But Lin Chen was confident that after his strength increased, he would acquire more Energy Points and continuously upgrade One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones!

After regaining his thoughts, he looked at the system panel.

"I have 6.3 trillion Energy Points, and two secret techniques can continue to be upgraded."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up, and then he directly consumed 600 billion Energy Points.

Spirit Slaying Art and Thousand Immortals Battle Formation began their deduction and upgrade.

After these two secret techniques are upgraded, they will be 8-star secret techniques, on par with Unity Secret Art!

After the system was upgraded again, the speed of deduction and upgrade also increased further.

In just one week, both secret techniques were successfully upgraded.

Similar to Unity Secret Art, reaching perfection requires 10 trillion Energy Points.

Lin Chen's comprehension was terrifying now; he completely mastered both secret techniques in just one day!

"Now I just need my martial arts Realm to improve."

What limited Lin Chen's martial arts Realm was the Genesis-level Taiyi Great Dao.

His current true spirit Realm was Great Emperor Realm Eighth Level, which allowed him to increase his comprehension of the Genesis-level Taiyi Great Dao to a maximum of 80%.

Great Emperor Realm Ninth Level would require increasing the Genesis-level Great Dao comprehension from 80% to perfection!

Currently, the Genesis-level Taiyi Great Dao comprehension was 43.3%, progressing very quickly.

Lin Chen's thoughts shifted, and he began to comprehend the Great Dao together with his clones.

He comprehended the Great Emperor Realm-level Great Dao profound mysteries with comprehension comparable to the Eternal Realm, and he also had 71 clones assisting him, so one can imagine how fast the speed was!

Just like that, in the Origin Chamber, light and shadows flowed, and a thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Lin Chen slowly stood up.

Endless Great Dao rainbow light instantly retracted into his body, and his aura was incredibly powerful.

He extended a finger, and a wisp of grayish-white airflow coiled around its tip.

This airflow was precisely the power of the Genesis-level Taiyi Great Dao with 80% comprehension!

"Go!"

Lin Chen lightly shouted, and the airflow in his hand shot out fiercely.

Boom—

The space in front instantly collapsed, and the Origin Chamber trembled violently.

"Is this the power of the Great Dao at the Great Emperor Realm Eighth Level peak? It's too strong!"

Lin Chen's heart was excited; he had only used a tiny fraction of his own power, yet it possessed such might... "No wonder that Human Strongman could instantly kill me after erupting earlier; the gap between Great Emperor Realm Seventh Level and Eighth Level is too vast!"

The Genesis-level Taiyi Great Dao becomes increasingly difficult the further one progresses, and the more complete the Great Dao, the more terrifying its power naturally becomes!

When the Genesis-level Taiyi Great Dao is perfected, its power will far exceed what it is now!

"Let's test my current combat power."

"First, let's look at Physical Strength!"

The next moment, Lin Chen activated the Hongmeng Divine Body Technique.

A trace of Hongmeng Power appeared in his body, but the imagined surge in Physical Strength did not occur; it only increased slowly by a small amount.

After a long while, he looked at the system panel.

Physical Strength: 90 million units of power.

It only increased Physical Strength by 0.5 times.

Previously, during the fifth stage of the Yuan-level Forged Body, it could increase by 5 times... Lin Chen shook his head slightly; he had already guessed this.

Now, High-Level Origin Realm body cultivation techniques had a very weak amplification effect on his Physical Strength.

As his Realm increased, it was very likely to become ineffective!

His current Yuan-level Tenth Forged Body was comparable to a Great Emperor Realm Seventh Level martial arts Realm.

His base strength level was too high!

However, for ordinary Great Emperor Realm beings, a 0.5 times amplification was already extremely heaven-defying!

Next, Lin Chen's gaze sharpened, and he began to activate the power of his purple-gold bloodline within his body!

Boom—

A purple-gold light soared into the sky, and the entire space of the Origin Chamber vibrated violently.

Terrifying Physical Strength erupted from Lin Chen's body; the void itself could not withstand this power and continuously collapsed... This made Lin Chen's heart pound. If he returned to the Azure Cang Realm in this state, the Azure Cang Realm would probably be instantly crushed by his terrifying power!

After a few breaths, Lin Chen's bloodline power was fully activated, and he excitedly looked at the system panel.

Physical Strength: 303 million units of power.

The amplification of the bloodline power was still 50 times, unchanged!

At this moment, Lin Chen felt that his previous efforts were incredibly worthwhile.

During his physical body opportunities, he experienced numerous battles and comprehended hundreds of bloodline powers.

Then he fused the bloodlines one by one, and only then could he obtain such a heaven-defying bloodline power!

The golden bloodline and the purple-gold bloodline amplified Physical Strength by 20 times and 50 times, respectively.

Although it seemed like only a 30 times difference, the final amplified power had a world of difference!

Lin Chen could not even estimate what level 303 million units of Physical Strength had reached!

"Above the Great Emperor Realm, I wonder if there's a 'Half-step Eternal Realm' as there was in previous Realms."

Lin Chen's thoughts stirred, and he summoned the black pagoda's intelligent assistant.

He then obtained the answer he wanted through this intelligent assistant.

Above the Great Emperor Realm is the Eternal Realm, but the gap between these two Realms is too vast!

The reason the Eternal Realm is called 'Eternal' is that it represents true immortality!

At this level, the true spirit will purify and produce immortal matter.

Thereafter, the true spirit will not be corrupted even after countless eons.

One could say that an Eternal Realm powerful being, as long as they are not killed by external forces, can live forever!

It's equivalent to an alternative form of transcendence!

The difference in combat power between the Eternal Realm and the Great Emperor Realm is too great, so similar to previous Realms, there is also a 'Half-step Eternal Realm' in between.

Three conditions: the true spirit transforms to produce a trace of immortal matter, comprehends a trace of Eternal Realm Great Dao, and the Seal of the Great Emperor transforms into the Seal of Eternity.

Achieving any one of these can be called Half-step Eternal Realm Early Stage, achieving two conditions is Middle Stage, and achieving all three conditions is Late Stage.

Achieving all three of these conditions is exceptionally difficult.

As long as one condition is met, the divine power within the body will evolve into Eternal Power!

The power level of Eternal Power far exceeds that of divine power, and wielding Eternal Power can crush the Great Emperor Realm!

Additionally, for each of these three conditions met, combat power will skyrocket!

For example, after the true spirit transforms to produce a trace of immortal matter, the true spirit's power will undergo a fundamental, earth-shattering leap, and relying solely on true spirit power can sweep away countless Great Emperor Realm beings.

Also, after comprehending a trace of Eternal Realm Great Dao, one can crush Great Emperor Realm experts with the Eternal Realm-level Great Dao!

The final Seal of Eternity is the most difficult; like the Seal of the Great Emperor, it requires experiencing a tribulation of the heavenly dao will.

This tribulation of the heavenly dao will will far surpass any previous ones.

Moreover, only the heavenly dao will of intermediate and high-level four-dimensional worlds can unleash such a tribulation.

In a dimensional world like the Endless Realm, it is forever impossible to condense the Seal of Eternity!

This is why the Great Emperor Realm is basically the peak in low-level four-dimensional worlds.
