Yuan's Ascension

Many powerful Overlords attempted to create their ultimate techniques at the Sovereign phase or even the Astral Monarch phase. Even many Archimmortals and Archdeities could develop impressive ultimate techniques based on their Dao comprehension.

Yet monstrous prodigies like Wu Yuan and Zhu Shan often failed to create techniques unique to themselves. Was it because their comprehension aptitude was poor? No! It was because they lacked sufficient time.

So-called 'ultimate techniques' were essentially applications of Dao comprehension, a retrospective summary of insights gained over eons. One sought to fill gaps and craft a perfect move when creating such techniques, which would help one break through bottlenecks to reach new heights.

This all required vast lengths of time. Many cultivators stuck at bottlenecks for ages had enough time to create ultimate techniques. But monstrous prodigies like Wu Yuan progressed at blinding speeds. They simply didn’t have enough time to create their own techniques. It was already impressive if their combat techniques could barely keep up with their level of Dao comprehension.

Originally, Wu Yuan thought he'd need to spend tens of millions of years establishing a solid foundation. Then, upon reaching a bottleneck in Dao comprehension, he would attempt to create an ultimate technique and challenge eternity.

The Thousand Daos Realm compensated for his lack of foundation, allowing him to create the 'Wheel of Life and Death' technique in just a thousand years.

I used my eighth-level Creation Dao Field comprehension as the core, incorporating some insights from the Life Chapter, then included a thread of Primordial Rules as a guide to create this move. Wu Yuan murmured. Without the Ancestral Pagoda's help, it would've been impossible to merge two eternal paths.

Eternal beings who mastered a single path to eternity earned the right to comprehend others. Without fully grasping one, trying to merge them was pure fantasy!

As an Ancestral Pagoda Archon, Wu Yuan barely had the qualifications to attempt it.

But I've only merged a fraction of the profundities. This move can merely match an ordinary Overlord's ultimate technique. Wu Yuan thought to himself. It's probably still far weaker than the ultimate techniques of Overlord Bei Zhen and Overlord Long He.

When he first became a Sovereign, Wu Yuan believed Overlords had comparable Dao comprehension and their ultimate techniques didn’t vary much in power, with the main disparity lying in artifacts.
