208: The Great Way of Power

In the Star Fragment Belt, Lin Jingyu sat cross-legged on a massive meteorite, holding the warm cyan feather plume in his hand.

As he submerged his Divine Sense into it, a vast, ancient Dao charm, far beyond the scope of his understanding, slowly flowed out. It was not specific information about a Cultivation Technique, but rather a vague guide regarding the essence of "Strength," along with a fragmented star map pointing to an unknown location.

"Great Dao of Strength... The secret of eternity..." he muttered to himself. Although the information contained within the feather plume was fragmented, it had pointed out a direction for him.

Merely by comprehending the Dao charm within it, he felt his understanding of the Rule of Strength deepen by a fraction.

Carefully putting away the feather plume, he took out the "origin of the small world" and the "opportunity to condense the Great Dao of Strength (fragmented)," which he had obtained as the ultimate reward from the Arena.

"System, absorb the origin of the small world, fully deduce the follow-up to the Chaos Great Dao Scripture, and help me condense the Great Dao of Strength!"

【Ding! Absorbing the origin of the small world... origin points + 5 billion!】

【Current origin points: 7.515 billion!】

【Ding! Detected "opportunity to condense the Great Dao of Strength (fragmented)," significantly reducing the deduction cost!】

【Deducing the Chaos Great Dao Scripture (Perfection → ?), requires 6 billion origin points! Confirm?】

"Confirm!" Lin Jingyu did not hesitate. origin points were meant to be used to increase strength!

【origin points - 6 billion! Starting deduction... Deducing... Fusing with the opportunity for the Great Dao of Strength...】

Boom!!! The commotion this time far exceeded any previous instance!

Endless Chaos divine light erupted from Lin Jingyu's body, illuminating this entire Star Fragment Belt! The massive meteorite beneath him silently turned into powder!

Inside his body, the circulation trajectory of the Chaos Great Dao Scripture underwent a heaven-shaking change, becoming more complex and profound, pointing directly to the Origin of strength!

The energy from that origin of the small world was frantically extracted, merging into his limbs, bones, and prototype divine kingdom!

His Indestructible Chaos Body was strengthening and transforming at an unprecedented speed!

His skin, muscles, bones, internal organs, and even his Divine Soul were branded with deeper Chaos runes, and his strength soared!

The Chaos Dragon Power divine kingdom within his body expanded violently. Mountains and rivers became clear, and there were even faint phantoms of the sun, moon, and stars! Both its scope and quality surged by more than tenfold!

The most core change came from his comprehension of the Rule of Strength!

Under the influence of the Chaos Great Dao Scripture deduction and the Great Dao opportunity, the Rule of Strength began to undergo a qualitative change!

It was no longer a simple application of the rule; instead, he began to touch its core essence, advancing towards the higher level of the "Great Dao of Strength"!

Although it was only a preliminary condensation, not even counting as a prototype, it was a qualitative leap!

It was unknown how much time had passed before all the strange phenomena slowly subsided.

Lin Jingyu opened his eyes, and it seemed as if billions of stars were being born and dying within them. His aura was restrained, yet it gave people a terrifying feeling that he could tear apart the Universe just by raising his hand!

【Deduction successful! Chaos Great Dao Scripture has Advanced to Indestructible Chaos Scripture (Entry Level)!】

【Ding! Indestructible Chaos Body has been upgraded to (Advanced)! Physical Body strength, power, and recovery ability have significantly increased!】

【Ding! The divine kingdom within the body is initially stabilized, and its scope has expanded! It can absorb energy from the Void Realm to grow slowly!】

【Ding! The Rule of Strength is beginning to transform into the "Great Dao of Strength"! (Current progress 1%)】

【Remaining origin points: 1.515 billion】

Strength! An incomparably abundant sense of strength filled his entire body!

Lin Jingyu felt that with his current self, a single punch could shatter that previous Divine Venerable battle puppet!

If he were to encounter the God King Heavenly Punishment again, he would not need a bitter fight at all; he could kill him with a single punch!

"Is this the feeling of touching the threshold of the Great Dao..." He clenched his fist, and space slightly distorted between his fingers. "It is not enough! Far from enough! What I want is complete control!"

He looked at the fragmented star map, his goal clear—to find the eternal ruins where Qing Li's father had discovered the feather plume. There might be an opportunity there to make the Great Dao of Strength reach Perfection!

Without further delay, he identified the direction, moved his body, and transformed into a streak of Chaos light, tearing through space and speeding towards the general direction indicated by the star map.

...A few months later, Lin Jingyu had traveled through countless desolate Star Domains, gradually approaching a legendary dangerous area—the Sea of Silent Destruction.

It was rumored that this place was once an ancient battlefield of gods and demons. The space was extremely unstable, filled with various dangerous space-time rifts and destructive storms, and there were even lingering Evil Spirits of gods and demons. Ordinary God Kings dared not venture deep into it.

But according to the star map, those ruins were deep within the Sea of Silent Destruction.

Just as he stepped into the outer perimeter of the Sea of Silent Destruction, an aura of Chaos, destruction, and dead silence rushed towards his face.

The space before his eyes was like a shattered mirror, filled with cracks of all sizes. From time to time, black destructive storms would dart out like giant pythons, shredding everything.

Lin Jingyu was bold due to his high level of skill. His Indestructible Chaos Body glowed slightly, and he ignored these peripheral dangers, flying straight inwards.

Suddenly, a piece of space in front of him was torn open like a curtain. A jet-black, menacingly shaped, and scar-covered warship emerged like a ghost, just happening to block his path.

The warship's hatch opened, and over a dozen figures flew out. Leading them was a one-eyed man, exuding the fierce aura of an Upper God King. The people following behind him were also all at the God King level, each with unkind eyes, greedily staring at Lin Jingyu.

"Kid, stop!" The one-eyed man's voice was hoarse, accompanied by a sinister grin. "This is the territory of my 'Black Skull Star Pirate Group'! If you want to pass through here, leave behind toll money! Seeing that you, a kid, dare to break into the Sea of Silent Destruction alone, you must have good things on you, right? Hand it all over, and I will spare your life!"

Star pirates? Lin Jingyu raised an eyebrow, not expecting to encounter robbers in such a place.

He couldn't be bothered with nonsense and said directly: "Get lost, or die."

"Heh! Arrogant enough!" The one-eyed man laughed instead of getting angry. "A Lower God King dares to be arrogant in front of me? It seems you don't know how to write the word 'death'! Brothers, take him down for me! Extract his soul and refine his spirit to see what secrets he has!"

The dozen or so God Kings immediately howled, bringing out various Divine Artifacts and unleashing Divine Abilities as they besieged Lin Jingyu! For a moment, the light of Laws shone, and energy surged violently!

Lin Jingyu's eyes turned cold. "Seeking death."

He didn't even use the perfected Chaos Destruction Fist; he simply raised his hand, opened his five fingers, and then, facing the dozen or so charging God Kings, grasped the Void Realm!

Bang bang bang bang...!!! A series of dull explosions rang out almost simultaneously!

Those dozen or so God Kings who had charged over did not even have time to scream before they were like eggs crushed by an invisible giant hand, exploding in mid-air into a dozen clusters of blood mist! Even their Divine Souls were annihilated along with them!

Their attacks and their Divine Artifacts appeared ridiculous and fragile under this casual grasp of Lin Jingyu!

Instant kill! It was a complete crushing!

【Ding! Killed God King * 13... Obtained origin points + 650 million!】

【Current origin points: 2.165 billion!】

The sinister grin on the one-eyed man's face froze instantly, transforming into extreme fear and horror. His single eye widened, and the hairs all over his body stood on end!

"You... you you..." He was so scared that his tongue was tied, and he couldn't even speak clearly.

The strength of this "Lower God King" before him completely exceeded the scope of his understanding! That was definitely a Divine Venerable-level existence! Or even stronger!

He had kicked an iron plate! No! He had kicked an Ancient Divine Mountain!

"Senior, spare my life! This lowly one was blind! I offended you, Senior! Please, Senior..." The one-eyed man fell to his knees in the Void Realm with a thud, kowtowing like pounding garlic, begging for mercy with a trembling voice.

Lin Jingyu couldn't be bothered to listen to his nonsense and flicked a finger through the air.

Swish! A stream of Chaos Qi Flow shot out like an arrow, instantly piercing through the one-eyed man's glabella and annihilating his Divine Soul along with it.

【Ding! Killed Upper God King... Obtained origin points + 120 million!】

【Current origin points: 2.285 billion!】

Having easily dealt with these ants, Lin Jingyu's gaze fell upon that jet-black warship.

A sweep of his Divine Sense revealed that there were still a few small fry left behind inside, who were trembling with fear.

He threw a punch through the air.

Boom! That warship, made of extraordinary material, was directly blown up, turning into cosmic dust. The small fry inside naturally vanished into smoke and ashes along with it.

【Ding! Killed... Obtained origin points + 30 million!】

【Current origin points: 2.315 billion!】

Lin Jingyu naturally wouldn't be polite regarding these "resources" that were delivered to his door.

Just as he was preparing to continue his journey, he frowned slightly and looked towards the depths of the Sea of Silent Destruction. He felt that the battle fluctuations just now seemed to have alarmed some powerful existence in the depths.

An icy, violent, and destructive Divine Thought swept over from the depths of the Star Sea like a tide, locking onto him!

"Human... powerful flesh and blood... devour..."

A hoarse and low voice, as if coming from the Nine Nether Hell, rang directly in Lin Jingyu's mind.

Immediately after, the space in the distance was torn apart like a curtain, and a terrifying giant hand, incomparably huge and formed by countless shattered stars and Evil Qi, reached out to grab him, covering the sky and blocking the sun! Its might far exceeded that previous Divine Venerable battle puppet!

The ancient Evil Spirit in the depths of the Sea of Silent Destruction had been alarmed!

Lin Jingyu felt the terrifying power contained in that giant hand. Instead of being afraid, he was delighted, and Battle Intent burned in his eyes once again.

"Finally, a decent one has come."

He twisted his neck, his Indestructible Chaos Body erupted with brilliant divine light, and he took the initiative to rush towards that giant hand!

"I hope you can make me use a bit more strength!"
