Chapter 582: An Unfathomable Enhancement
Chapter 582: An Unfathomable Enhancement
Within the Taiyin Primeval Spirit's internal universe, the Taiyin Qi permeated everything. This universe was founded upon the Taiyin ruleset, and its overarching theme was one of icy coldness.
Normally, a Dao-Initiate realm cultivator would have already developed their internal universe, with internal rules that were well-balanced and independent from the true universe.
However, in reality, all internal universes were shaped by the cultivator's own insights and understandings.
And each Dao-Initiate realm cultivator had unique insights into the rules.
Their areas of focus varied.
And this, in turn, influenced their internal universes.
The Taiyin Primeval Spirit's internal universe was no exception.
It was evidently dominated by Taiyin energy.
The Taiyang Primeval Spirit's universe followed a similar pattern, with Taiyang energy taking center stage.
As for the true body's internal universe? It was a fusion of Taiyin and Taiyang, forming the Taiji, from which all things were derived. There was no distinct focus.
The true body's internal universe was the one that most resembled the true universe, with countless rules operating in perfect balance.
And at this moment...
Within the boundless, frigid coldness of the Taiyin universe.
A flickering flame ignited and rapidly grew, its light and heat spreading, claiming everything within its reach.
The light and warmth continued to expand, dispelling the icy coldness.
The entire Taiyin universe began to undergo a mysterious transformation.
"This transformation..."
"Is the essence of the Taiyin universe and the source of the Blazing Sun achieving a balance?"
Lin Yuan's expression shifted slightly.
Taiyin and Taiyang could easily achieve a balance—these were the two fundamental pillars of Lin Yuan's Taiji Dao.
However, Taiyin and Lieyang were fundamentally different. Although both were of the 'Yang' attribute, they represented two distinct directions.
But at this moment, within the Taiyin universe, the omnipresent Taiyin essence and the Lieyang source were transforming into each other, creating a more complete cycle.
And this cycle was causing a subtle yet profound metamorphosis in the structure of the Taiyin universe, drastically increasing its stability and the richness of its essence.
"The source of the Blazing Sun Godly Power is something I condensed myself, so the world it opens is also mine."
"But the Taiyin universe is also something I nurtured. Essentially, it's also my world."
"Therefore, the source of the Blazing Sun is transforming the Taiyin universe very smoothly, with almost no signs of rejection."
Lin Yuan watched thoughtfully as the light from the source of the Blazing Sun spread throughout the Taiyin universe.
The physical body's godly power, 'Blazing Sun Universe Creation,' was an extremely taxing ability—this was something Lin Yuan had confirmed when he first awakened this power.
With his current strength, even if he exhausted his essence, he wouldn't be able to maintain this ability for long.
The reason for this was that the fundamental nature of 'Blazing Sun Universe Creation' was to forcibly transform the surrounding world into Lin Yuan's own.
The 'resistance' and 'rejection' that arose from this transformation were the primary causes of the ability's high cost.
However, within the Taiyin universe, the surrounding world already belonged to Lin Yuan. As the Blazing Sun continued to transform the universe, there was almost no 'resistance' or 'rejection'.
Lin Yuan even felt that if he wanted to, he could maintain this source of the Blazing Sun indefinitely.
"Fusion... The source of the Blazing Sun is fusing with the Taiyin universe."
Lin Yuan observed carefully and noticed this trend.
The source of the Blazing Sun itself was gradually merging with the Taiyin universe.
The deeper the fusion, the more complete the cycle between the source of the Blazing Sun and the Taiyin universe became, and the greater the enhancement to the entire universe.
"This is wonderful."
As the creator of this universe, Lin Yuan clearly sensed the myriad changes that occurred during the fusion of the source of the Blazing Sun with the Taiyin universe.
"The source of the Blazing Sun is able to fuse with the Taiyin universe because, essentially, the Taiyin universe has also cultivated the Infinite Void, and thus has the capacity to bear the source of the Blazing Sun."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Initially, he had tried to condense the source of the Blazing Sun within his incarnation's internal universe.
But as expected, his incarnation's internal universe had immediately collapsed, unable to contain the power of the source of the Blazing Sun.
The source of the Blazing Sun originated from the Blazing Sun Universe Creation, a physical body's godly power, and this ability, in turn, was derived from the ability of the Lieyang ancestor of the source world.
Only the Infinite Void, created by a fellow thirteenth-stage existence, could hope to contain the source of the Blazing Sun.
It was like trying to use a block of tofu to bear the weight of a needle—the tofu would be pierced instantly.
But if one used an iron box to contain the needle, there would be no issue.
The Taiyin universe, having cultivated the Infinite Void, was like the iron box, capable of bearing the needle.
"Hmm?"
As Lin Yuan observed the changes in the Taiyin universe, he also maintained his focus on the source of the Blazing Sun.
Suddenly, the source of the Blazing Sun blazed fiercely, and the balance with the Taiyin universe's essence was momentarily disrupted during the fusion process.
In that instant, the Taiyin universe began to crumble.
"Did the fusion fail?"
Lin Yuan witnessed this scene but felt no surprise.
Even with the Taiyin and Taiyang, which were inherently of the same source, Lin Yuan had often encountered instances of imbalance and mutual collapse when he first attempted to fuse them.
"What's more, the Taiyin and Lieyang?"
"In fact, the Taiyin and Lieyang are not merging, but devouring. The essence of the Taiyin universe is slowly devouring the source of Lieyang."
Lin Yuan's thoughts stirred, and a new Taiyin Primeval Spirit condensed into being.
Compared to the avatars of other Twelfth-Stage powerhouses, which required an immense investment of mental energy to cultivate, creating these two Primeval Spirits was much simpler for Lin Yuan.
Reconstructing them required hardly any time at all.
This was one of the advantages of the Martial Arts Evolution Path—within the Chaos Void, the evolution paths were endless, and each had its own unique strengths and weaknesses.
But it was rare to find an evolution path like the Martial Arts Evolution Path, which allowed one to easily condense Primeval Spirit after Primeval Spirit.
"Continue."
Lin Yuan once again began to condense the source of Taiyin within the Taiyin universe.
Lin Yuan was well aware that the fusion of the Taiyin universe with Lieyang would be a great opportunity for him. This was a fusion of two Thirteenth-Stage techniques from two different dimensional spaces.
If it weren't for Lin Yuan, they might never have even come into contact, let alone fuse and devour each other.
Within the Source World, cultivators generally had weak foundations, and most did not have the concept of an internal universe. Even if they possessed something similar to 'Lieyang Opening Heaven', it would only serve as a trump card for attack and defense.
As for using such a technique to thoroughly enhance their foundation and roots? That was basically impossible.
Even if there were a few extremely exceptional powerhouses within the Source World who had opened up a space similar to an internal universe, it was still just a space, lacking the reinforcement of the Infinite Void. Thus, they would be unable to withstand the existence of the Lieyang source.
One could say that what Lin Yuan was doing now was fusing two Thirteenth-Stage techniques from two different dimensional spaces, and the transformation it would bring about was something that even a Thirteenth-Stage temporal lifeform might not be able to predict.
"This time, I need to reduce the intensity of the Lieyang source's radiance."
Lin Yuan began to adjust himself. The collapse of the Taiyin universe and the loss of balance with the Lieyang source earlier were mainly due to the slightly higher intensity of the Lieyang source's radiance, which eventually disrupted the balance.
Having learned from this failure, Lin Yuan was now one step closer to achieving a complete fusion.
Time passed day by day.
Within the Chaos Void, most of Lin Yuan's true body's attention was focused on the fusion of the Taiyin universe with the Lieyang source.
As the progress of the fusion accelerated, the rate of enhancement of the Taiyin universe astonished Lin Yuan.
The size of the Taiyin universe expanded crazily, and the stability of its space-time fabric soared.
An unknown amount of time passed.
Finally, the Taiyin universe and the Lieyang source completely fused together.
To be precise...
The Lieyang source had become a part of the Taiyin universe.
The heaven and earth formed by Lieyang Opening Heaven merged with the heaven and earth of the Taiyin universe itself.
Star Tear Fragment World.
Lin Yuan and the Taiyin Primeval Spirit sat opposite each other.
Most of their mental energy was focused within the Taiyin Primeval Spirit's internal universe.
"This is truly incredible."
Lin Yuan gazed at the Taiyin universe, where coldness and scorching heat coexisted. At the center of the universe, a blazing sun continuously radiated infinite light and heat.
Compared to an ordinary star, this sun was countless times stronger. It was the core of the entire universe.
"The diameter of the Taiyin universe now exceeds one hundred million light-years."
Lin Yuan looked down upon the entire Taiyin universe, his eyes filled with awe.
In terms of size, the Taiyin universe was now no smaller than the internal universe of his true body.
After all, Lin Yuan's true body's internal universe, even without taking into account other external factors such as the infusion of Chaos Void origin and the suppression of the Chaos Tree, was already far superior to a pure Taiyin universe due to the foundation of a more perfect Taiji Dao formed by the combination of Taiyin and Taiyang.
The internal universe of his true body was, to be precise, the Taiji universe.
"In terms of power..."
Lin Yuan carefully sensed the universe and quickly came to a conclusion.
It was no weaker than the Taiji universe of his true body.
"Could a single Lieyang source bring about such a huge enhancement?"
Lin Yuan found it somewhat unbelievable. The gap between the two universes was like taking a newcomer to the Dominator Realm and forcibly raising them to the level of a Chaos Honored One.
Could the Taiji universe that his true body had been nurturing for so many years really be so easily surpassed by the internal universe of a single Primeval Spirit?
"With the enhancement of the Taiyin universe, if my true body's Taiji universe were to also devour the Lieyang source, then the enhancement it would bring..."
Lin Yuan's heart raced.
In terms of stability, the Taiji universe far surpassed the original Taiyin universe.
If the Taiyin universe could devour and fuse with the Lieyang source, then the Taiji universe could certainly do the same.
"Let's not rush to attempt this with my true body's Taiji universe."
Lin Yuan's thoughts converged, and he remained exceptionally calm, planning to try with the Taiyang Primeval Spirit's Taiyang universe instead.
Through the fusion and devouring of the Taiyin universe, Lin Yuan was well aware that there would be failures along the way, which would lead to the collapse of the universe.
Compared to the collapse of the internal universes of the two Primeval Spirits, the collapse of the Taiji universe of his true body would be a much greater loss for Lin Yuan.
Without a certain level of confidence, Lin Yuan wouldn't attempt this with his true body's Taiji universe.
Buzz!
The next moment, the Taiyang Primeval Spirit appeared.
Lin Yuan's consciousness descended directly into the Taiyang universe.
In stark contrast to the icy coldness of the Taiyin universe, the Taiyang universe presented an entirely opposite scene, filled with Taiyang energy everywhere.
"The reason the Taiyin universe was able to fuse and devour the Lieyang source is because their attributes are considered opposing. But what about the Taiyang universe?"
Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, then immediately condensed the Lieyang source within the Taiyang universe.
Light and heat.
Endless light and heat.
As the Taiyang universe continuously fused and devoured the Lieyang source, Lin Yuan clearly felt the changes occurring within it.
The Taiji path that Lin Yuan walked upon was more refined than the singular extreme paths of Taiyin and Taiyang, but that didn't mean the latter were weaker.
On the contrary, singular extreme paths could also lead to heights beyond imagination.
For example, the Lieyang Ancestor's path of Lieyang had directly entered the thirteenth-stage realm, and the same was true for the powers of other Grand Honored Beings that had evolved from the Chaos Void.
There were countless paths to the Great Dao, and all led to the same destination; there was no pure strength or weakness.
Whoosh!
Taiyang and Lieyang intertwined and collided, giving birth to an even more scorching power.
Finally, after more than ten attempts, the Taiyang Primeval Spirit collapsed over ten times, and the Lieyang source was completely fused and devoured.
"And now, the Taiyang universe?"
Lin Yuan calmed his mind. Even with his prior preparation, he still felt astonished by the power of the Taiyang universe, which was no weaker than the Taiji universe of his true body.
"Taiyin-Taiyang Fusion."
Lin Yuan's thoughts stirred, and the Taiyin Primeval Spirit began to merge with the Taiyang Primeval Spirit.
Taiji is formed from the fusion of Yin and Yang, and naturally, it can also be separated into Yin and Yang.
When the Taiyin Primeval Spirit and the Taiyang Primeval Spirit fused, they formed the Taiji Primeval Spirit.
Compared to a singular primeval spirit, the Taiji Primeval Spirit was stronger, not just because of the fusion of Taiyin and Taiyang, but also because the power of the two primeval spirits themselves merged, resulting in an even more powerful entity.
Boom!
As the Taiyin Primeval Spirit and the Taiyang Primeval Spirit fused, their internal universes naturally began to merge as well.
Lin Yuan watched with a solemn expression. If the fusion failed at this point, he would lose both primeval spirits.
Time passed.
Under Lin Yuan's watchful gaze,
The Taiji Primeval Spirit swiftly took form.
Buzz!
An invisible pressure emerged, and the formed Taiji Primeval Spirit actually gave Lin Yuan a sense of pressure.
"Taiji Universe."
Without hesitation, Lin Yuan's consciousness descended into the Taiji universe within the Taiji Primeval Spirit.
The internal universe of his true body was also a Taiji universe, but it was far more powerful than the Taiji universe of the Taiji Primeval Spirit, after all, it had been cultivated for so long and had a deeper foundation.
"Wow!"
Gazing upon the unprecedented Taiji universe, Lin Yuan couldn't help but take a deep breath.
After the fusion of the Taiyin Primeval Spirit and the Taiyang Primeval Spirit, the diameter of the Taiji universe approached nine hundred million light-years.
Moreover, an intangible pressure permeated the universe, with a blazing sun at its center illuminating everything.
Lin Yuan stared at the blazing sun, vaguely feeling as if he were gazing upon the eternal sun of the Source World.
Of course, it was only a slight resemblance, and in terms of power, the sun within the Taiji universe was far inferior to the eternal sun.
"This Taiji universe..."
Lin Yuan sensed the Taiji universe intently, "...is much stronger than the Taiji universe of my true body."
As for how much stronger it was, Lin Yuan couldn't be sure. Without a specific reference point, how could he measure their strengths? He couldn't very well have the two Taiji universes collide with each other.
Within the depths of Lin Yuan's true body's internal universe.
Next to the gourd, the red-clothed girl lazily lounged with her legs crossed.
"The master must have been disappointed. He only left a ten-centimeter mark on the Eternal Prime Metal."
The red-clothed girl could sense Lin Yuan's slight disappointment at the time.
"I need to find time to comfort the master. After all, it's Eternal Prime Metal, and a ten-centimeter mark is already remarkable."
The red-clothed girl thought to herself.
Just then, Lin Yuan appeared beside her.
"Master."
The red-clothed girl immediately jumped up.
"Where's the Eternal Prime Metal?" Lin Yuan asked with a smile as he looked at the red-clothed girl.
"Eternal Prime Metal?" The red-clothed girl was slightly taken aback. "Master, what do you want with the Eternal Prime Metal?"
"I plan to try again," Lin Yuan said.
Upon hearing this,
The red-clothed girl blinked.
Try again?
Does the master feel that he didn't perform to his full potential earlier?
"Master, you're already amazing. Being able to leave a ten-centimeter mark on the Eternal Prime Metal is already impressive."
The red-clothed girl couldn't help but say. Enhancing one's internal universe was not something that could be achieved overnight.
The red-clothed girl herself had no idea how long Lin Yuan had been cultivating the second layer of the Infinite Void.
At this point, trying again with the Eternal Prime Metal wouldn't make much of a difference; he would likely just leave another ten-centimeter mark.
