Chapter 1279: The Third Step of My Self-Created Dao, Chosen One (1)
My Dao is the heaven's Dao. Wu Yuan's declaration wasn't mere arrogance, but the fundamental truth of his path.
His Primordial self-created Dao interwove Great Destruction and Great Creation in perfect harmony. In terms of sheer potential, it outstripped virtually every self-created Dao pioneered by eternal powerhouses throughout history. Even at its initial stages, it approached the True Saint level.
Upon taking the second step, it truly stood at the True Saint level. At the pinnacle of this second step, Wu Yuan’s Dao reached the peak of the True Saint level, his Eternal Psyche forged to a resilience that surpassed most True Saints.
Yet such immense potential made his breakthrough extraordinarily challenging.
While his qi refiner self, who also pioneered top-tier self-created Dao, had smoothly taken the third step with Primordium's baptism, reaching its peak and progressing toward the fourth, his body refiner self's Dao remained stuck at this step despite countless fortuitous encounters.
Over billions of years, Wu Yuan traversed the expanse of the Ninth Chaos Void, crossing blades with numerous formidable True Saints, including True Saint Yan Huo. Each confrontation honed his skills and deepened his understanding.
When the Tenth Chaos Void opened, he engaged in several fierce battles, including life-or-death struggles against super powerhouses like True Saint Luan Hai. These experiences profoundly transformed him. Yet breakthroughs born from the precipice of death remained unpredictable.
Despite Wu Yuan's desperate yearning for advancement, invisible shackles seemed to constrain him, preventing further progress.
That was, until these past thousand years.
While his mana body analyzed the Chaos Jade Crystal, still stuck before the fourth step, his ether body wandered leisurely through the endless void. He traversed ruined continents and shattered stars, occasionally toying with powerful but dim-witted Void Spirits. The Tenth Chaos Void, a realm of extreme peril to ordinary True Saints, was little more than a pleasant stroll for Wu Yuan.
As long as he avoided deliberately venturing into truly treacherous regions, he faced no real danger.
In this profound tranquility, he unknowingly shattered the final barrier, comprehending the last thread of mystery regarding the third step of his self-created Dao.
