Swallowed Star: Copy God

This was completely an unexpected gain for Ye Yun. Moreover, as his grasp of the power of laws deepened, Ye Yun's understanding of the two distinct types of laws also became more profound.

His comprehension of sixteen types of laws had all reached the point of being acknowledged by the laws themselves. At this level, even if he left the special environment of the Purgatory Abyss, the speed of comprehension through mutual cooperation would not slow down. In other words, the opportunity Ye Yun had obtained was continuous and would continue to play an important role in his future law cultivation.

This was undoubtedly a powerful booster for Ye Yun's ultimate plan. Once the comprehension of the two types of laws broke through to the World Lord level, along with a clearer sense of the laws, comprehending the eight basic laws of the original universe would be a certainty, and it wouldn't waste too much of Ye Yun's time.

Ye Yun became even more determined in his cultivation plan. Once this trip to the Purgatory Abyss ended, it would be the best time to break through to the World Lord level. His various accumulations were already completely sufficient, and he could confidently take this step.

'It's time to explore the ultimate secrets of this Purgatory Abyss. I'm really looking forward to it!''

With a flap of his wings and a gust of wind, Ye Yun lightly landed on the platform of the stone tower. Looking at the secret runes of the formation on the platform, he raised his eyebrows slightly. A glance revealed that the number of node slots on this stone tower platform was exactly the same as on the ninth floor, also fifty!

Moreover, with Ye Yun's current observational skills, he could naturally see at a glance that the formation structure and rune composition of this tenth floor leading to the eleventh floor were exactly the same as the one from the ninth floor to the tenth floor. The two formations were as if they were carved from the same mold, without any difference.

Ye Yun's expression remained unchanged as he took out fifty 'Abyss Stones' from the tenth floor of the Purgatory Abyss and placed them into the node slots of the formation. Then, he carefully observed the changes in the formation.

As the fifty 'Abyss Stones' were embedded in the formation slots, the runes on the formation immediately lit up rapidly, several times faster than the activation speed of the formations Ye Yun had seen on the previous floors.

In just over twenty seconds, all the runes on the formation lit up. Then, with a tremor of the formation, a dark and deep portal slowly emerged above the formation.

Ye Yun had also compared the difference between the 'Abyss Stones' of the tenth floor and the previous nine floors. After careful comparison, he could find that the 'Abyss Stones' of the tenth floor, whether in terms of total energy or quality, far exceeded the 'Abyss Stones' of the ninth floor. It could even be said that the two were not comparable at all.

'No wonder the Virtual Universe Company's mission only requires 'Abyss Stones' from the tenth floor and above. For them, the 'Abyss Stones' from the previous nine floors have no value at all!''

Perhaps in the eyes of the Virtual Universe Company, only the soul cores of the Purgatory Beasts produced on the tenth floor and above in the Purgatory Abyss could be considered true 'Abyss Stones'.

Ye Yun felt a little emotional. After checking again, he took the Three-Headed Serpent and rushed into the portal, teleporting to the eleventh floor of the Purgatory Abyss.

As his figure appeared on the platform of the stone tower on the eleventh floor, Ye Yun immediately observed the situation of the formation under his feet.

'As expected, there are also fifty node slots...'

Ye Yun turned his gaze to the Six-Winged Purgatory Beast, which had entered in advance. After waiting for a while, he found that the Six-Winged Purgatory Beast had not changed at all. Similarly, the Three-Headed Serpent, which had entered later, maintained its strength at the tenth floor level, whether it was its aura or the intensity of the energy within its body.

Slightly closing his eyes, Ye Yun carefully sensed the surrounding environment of the Purgatory Abyss. After a while, Ye Yun slowly opened his eyes, and some of the mysteries in his heart slowly unraveled.

After wandering around in the space of the eleventh floor of the Purgatory Abyss for a while, Ye Yun finally determined that the eleventh floor and the tenth floor of the Purgatory Abyss, except for the smaller area, were the same in all other aspects, whether it was the environment, aura, will impact, or the strength of the Purgatory Beasts born there!

If this floor's stone tower didn't have a full twelve floors, Ye Yun would have even thought that his teleportation had gone wrong and he was still on the tenth floor without any change.

'So that's how it is, so that's how it is...'

Ye Yun murmured to himself, he finally understood what Venerable Yu Meng's last reminder meant before entering the Purgatory Abyss.

According to Venerable Yu Meng, the first to third floors of the Purgatory Abyss were one stage, the fourth to ninth floors were the second stage, and the tenth to seventeenth floors, a full eight floors, were the third stage of the Purgatory Abyss.

As for the final eighteenth floor, there was very little information about it, almost no description at all, making it extremely mysterious.

Moreover, whether it was the warning from the Virtual Universe Company or the guidance from Venerable Yu Meng, all of them were aimed at the tenth floor of the Purgatory Abyss. The subsequent floors were not described at all.

Ye Yun originally thought that this was because the cultivation mission of the Purgatory Abyss required a focus on the tenth floor, but now he understood that the tenth floor and the seventeenth floor were basically no different. The jump in difficulty from the ninth floor to the tenth floor was what all explorers entering the Purgatory Abyss needed to pay attention to most.

With a seeking-truth mindset, Ye Yun did not stay on the eleventh floor of the Purgatory Abyss and went straight to the stone tower leading to the twelfth floor.

Arriving at the formation of the stone tower, Ye Yun had a whim and took out fifty 'Abyss Stones' from the tenth floor, throwing them into the node slots of the formation.

These 'Abyss Stones' from the tenth floor, after entering the node slots of the eleventh floor's formation, immediately ignited the formation. Before long, the passage appeared. The whole process was incredibly smooth without any problems.

Ye Yun nodded secretly in his heart. After understanding the connection between the tenth and seventeenth floors of the Purgatory Abyss, after some verification, the situation was indeed consistent with his expectations. In this way, the speed of advancement could be faster.

In this way, Ye Yun went all the way down and soon arrived at the seventeenth floor of the Purgatory Abyss.

The seventeenth floor of the Purgatory Abyss was not much different from the tenth floor in general, but the overall area and range were much smaller. Ye Yun didn't spend much effort to find the stone tower on the seventeenth floor that led to the eighteenth floor of the Purgatory Abyss, which was the last floor.

Looking at the towering eighteen-story stone tower in front of him, a sense of trembling inexplicably surged in Ye Yun's heart. This trembling seemed to come from the depths of his soul, and Ye Yun could not suppress it, but other than a tremor in his heart, there were no other manifestations.

The Six-Winged Purgatory Beast and the Three-Headed Serpent on the side were even more不堪. Although they were already immortal-level Purgatory Beasts, in front of this stone tower, all the pressure and aura were completely suppressed, completely losing their former prestige.

Ye Yun slowly went up and flew to the top of the stone tower. On the familiar large platform, the formation carved on it had completely changed its appearance.

The formations from the ninth to sixteenth floors of the Purgatory Abyss were completely the same in construction and composition. The secret runes carved on them were densely packed, containing the ultimate mysteries of the spatial origin laws and the rules of the Purgatory Abyss. Although Ye Yun could not understand them all, after spending so much time in the Purgatory Abyss, he could at least distinguish one or two.

But the stone tower platform on this seventeenth floor looked very empty. There were no densely packed law runes. Instead, there was a pattern the size of one square meter.

Seeing this pattern, Ye Yun's pupils shrank. He unfolded his right hand, and there was an identical abyss pattern on the back of his hand!

After five years, the abyss pattern on the back of Ye Yun's hand was already relatively clear. In another five years, it could be completely condensed. At that time, relying on the energy accumulated within it, combined with the unique rules of the Purgatory Abyss, he could open a passage to the outside world.

'What does this special pattern on the stone tower platform on the seventeenth floor mean? Could it be that I need to use the abyss pattern on the back of my hand as a medium to open the portal to the eighteenth floor?'

Ye Yun's mind raced, and after a long while, he was fairly certain that his guess was correct. To enter the eighteenth level of the Purgatory Abyss, he had to use the Abyss pattern condensed on his body to connect with the pattern on the platform!

The Abyss pattern mark on the back of his right hand required a full ten years to absorb a massive amount of Purgatory Abyss energy before it could fully form. If completely consumed, it definitely had the ability to open a complete spatial channel.

Ye Yun slowly walked to the center of the platform, stepping onto the carved pattern. The instant his feet touched down, Ye Yun felt a surge of heat on the back of his right hand. The Abyss pattern mark faintly glowed, and the platform pattern beneath his feet seemed to establish a temporary connection with his right hand, as if it were absorbing energy from it.

However, after waiting for a while, Ye Yun felt both his right hand and the pattern beneath his feet slowly calm down. The Abyss pattern mark was not consumed, and there was no sign of any formation being activated.

These successive changes completely convinced Ye Yun that the special Abyss pattern mark on the back of his hand should be the key to opening the passage to the eighteenth level of the Abyss space. However, this Abyss pattern had only been condensed for five years and was not yet fully formed, making it impossible to activate the passage.

After reaching this conclusion, even Ye Yun couldn't help but hesitate. To enter the eighteenth level of the Purgatory Abyss, he would have to expend the escape mark that he had painstakingly condensed for ten years, which was a difficult decision for anyone to make.

Moreover, the most crucial thing was that there was very little information about the eighteenth level of the Purgatory Abyss. Ye Yun didn't know what it was like inside. Although he had previously planned to explore the eighteenth level, he hadn't intended to enter it this way.

Ye Yun had planned to wait until the Abyss pattern on the back of his hand was completely condensed before entering the most dangerous and mysterious eighteenth level. That way, he would have the best possible escape route. If he encountered an irresistible danger, he could activate the energy in the Abyss pattern and forcibly open a space to leave.

'No wonder there is so little information about the eighteenth level of the Purgatory Abyss. Apart from the Virtual Universe Company deliberately blocking it, the number of people who have entered the eighteenth level of the Purgatory Abyss must be very few, which explains why no news has spread.'

Imagine, an ordinary person finally manages to enter the tenth level of the Purgatory Abyss, and while collecting 'Abyss Stones,' they painstakingly survive for ten years, accumulating a special Abyss pattern that allows them to leave the Purgatory Abyss.

In such a situation, even going to the unknown twelfth level would be a huge challenge. Almost no one would choose to continue deeper, let alone reach the final eighteenth level.

Moreover, each level deeper requires spending fifty extremely precious immortal-level 'Abyss Stones.' This huge price alone is almost unbearable, as 'Abyss Stones' are not so easy to obtain in the Abyss space above the tenth level.

Considering all these factors, Ye Yun understood that the seventeenth level of the Purgatory Abyss, where he was currently located, was already a place that the vast majority of geniuses who ventured deep into the Purgatory Abyss had never entered. And the eighteenth level, with its even more special entry method, was almost a forbidden zone for everyone.

Ye Yun stood quietly in place, and after a long while, a smile appeared on his lips as he muttered to himself,

"It's not easy to come here, and I'm only one step away from touching the ultimate secrets of the Purgatory Abyss. There's no way I can just leave like this."

Ye Yun shook his head slightly and sat down cross-legged on the platform at the top of the stone tower. He calmed his mind, cast aside all distractions, and entered a deeper state of cultivation and comprehension.

Another five years passed quietly. Ye Yun slowly opened his eyes. After these five years of meditation, Ye Yun exuded an indescribable aura, as if he were a treasure that had been sealed in dust, now wiped clean of all impurities, his mind clear and transparent, full of the aura of wisdom.

At this moment, the Abyss pattern mark that had automatically condensed on the back of Ye Yun's right hand was fully revealed and incredibly clear, indicating that it had been completely condensed.

Maintaining a faint smile, Ye Yun slowly raised his right hand to his eyes and stared at it. The Eye of Duplication suddenly activated!

During the scanning process, Ye Yun felt a powerful mental pressure, but he had anticipated this. A large amount of high-quality spiritual liquid that restored the soul and spirit poured into his sea of consciousness, alleviating the pressure brought by the scanning process.

This scanning process lasted for a full ten minutes. When the progress bar finally reached its completion, Ye Yun's face turned pale, his spirit was completely exhausted, and he felt extremely tired.

After taking some more spiritual liquid to restore his spirit, Ye Yun ordered the Six-Winged Purgatory Beast and the Three-Headed Strange Serpent to guard the surroundings while he entered a deep sleep.

After a full three days, Ye Yun slowly stood up, exhaled a long breath of turbid air, and his spirit was completely restored.

Ye Yun gently raised his left hand, his spirit highly concentrated. A large number of 'Abyss Stones' appeared around him, and his consciousness delved into his sea of consciousness, gently touching the progress bar of the miniature Abyss pattern that was floating quietly.

The instant his consciousness touched it, an extremely violent attraction suddenly came from the back of Ye Yun's outstretched left hand. Endless Purgatory Abyss energy surged in frantically, rapidly condensing under the duplication ability of the Eye of Duplication.

Ye Yun could clearly see that, on the back of his left hand, a pattern that was exactly the same as the one on the back of his right hand appeared in just a few seconds.

Moreover, as a large amount of energy poured in instantly, the speed at which this pattern condensed and formed was extremely fast. After only a minute, the pattern was completely condensed and formed. The special aura it emitted confirmed to Ye Yun that it was no different from the pattern on the back of his right hand and had the same function.

The large number of 'Abyss Stones' floating around were not consumed at all. The entire manifestation process was completed solely by relying on the ubiquitous Purgatory Abyss universe energy, and it lasted for a very short time, so it was not a burden for Ye Yun at all.

Based on the difficulty of the scanning, Ye Yun had originally thought that the difficulty of manifesting the Abyss pattern would be too high, and that relying solely on the universe energy of the Purgatory Abyss would not be enough. That was why he had taken out a large number of 'Abyss Stones' as an energy supplement.

But when the manifestation began, Ye Yun realized that he had thought too much. The energy in the Purgatory Abyss was incomparably violent, and under the manifesting effect of his Eye of Duplication, the condensation speed was extremely rapid, requiring no other energy supply at all.

Having completed the manifestation of the Abyss pattern, Ye Yun no longer had any concerns. He once again entered the pattern position carved in the center of the platform, slowly raised his right hand, and the Abyss pattern mark on it gradually lit up, establishing a connection with the pattern under his feet.

Using this connection as a link, Ye Yun felt an incomparably vast energy涌现 from the Abyss pattern on the back of his right hand, frantically pouring into the pattern under his feet.

The纹路 on the pattern, representing 'Purgatory Wind,' 'Purgatory Fire,' 'Purgatory Lightning,' and other symbols, lit up one after another, receiving a massive infusion of energy. When these symbols were completely revealed, an incomparably dazzling light burst out from the pattern.

At this time, the complete Abyss pattern on the back of his right hand, which had been incredibly clear, had almost completely consumed the vast energy accumulated over ten years and became extremely blurred. The next moment, the dazzling light beneath Ye Yun's feet gradually disappeared, and a circular hole appeared in the position above Ye Yun's head.

At the same time, Ye Yun's right hand returned to normal, and the mark of the Abyss pattern could no longer be seen.

This newly appeared passage gave Ye Yun an incomparably profound and unfathomable feeling. The faint fluctuations emanating from it made Ye Yun feel a burst of palpitations, as it contained rules that he could not understand.

As before, the Six-Winged Purgatory Beast went ahead to scout the way. After the Six-Winged Purgatory Beast's figure completely disappeared into the hole, Ye Yun could still sense the existence of the Six-Winged Purgatory Beast, and its life aura was stable, indicating that it had not encountered any danger.

The hole in front of him floated quietly in mid-air, as if it would never disappear. However, Ye Yun did not dare to delay and plunged into the hole with the Three-Headed Strange Serpent.

This time, the teleportation gave Ye Yun a completely different feeling. An extreme feeling of temporal and spatial distortion permeated the entire teleportation process. Fortunately, this feeling lasted for only about ten seconds. When his whole body regained consciousness, Ye Yun finally regained control of his body.

But when Ye Yun turned his gaze to the surroundings, he was immediately stunned.

The eighteenth level of the Purgatory Abyss, which was extremely difficult to enter, had a completely different environment from the previous seventeen levels. After teleporting in, he was still standing on an ordinary stone tower.

However, the surroundings of the stone tower were filled with an extremely primal aura, like an unfinished universe in the process of evolution.

Black cracks appeared everywhere in the sky, with strands of black silk flowing within them. From a distance, it looked as if invisible forces were repairing the scars of the universe, promoting its development and evolution.

This stone tower seemed to be the center of the entire universe and starry sky, and the surrounding strange景象 immediately evoked叶云's memories.

叶云 discovered that the scene in the eighteenth level of the Purgatory Abyss was actually similar to what he saw when he first entered the Initial Universe!

It was also a universe in the process of evolution, and the strands of silk in the cracks were the laws revealed during the evolution. The black silk threads in the eighteenth level of the Purgatory Abyss represented the unique 'Purgatory Laws' of the Purgatory Abyss.

Just by looking at it a few times, 叶云 could feel that his attainments in the 'Purgatory Laws' had improved to a certain extent. This also made 叶云 believe that this eighteenth level of the Purgatory Abyss was indeed very similar to the Initial Universe!

'The Initial Universe is a universe in its earliest stage of evolution, the predecessor of the Primal Universe. What is the reason for this place being so similar to the Initial Universe?'

However, after careful observation, 叶云 discovered the flaws in the eighteenth level of the Purgatory Abyss.

Although the overall performance of the eighteenth level of the Purgatory Abyss was very similar to the Initial Universe in 叶云's memory, 叶云 discovered that the law threads in the cracks in the sky still only contained the eight unique 'Purgatory Laws' of the Purgatory Abyss, and there was no trace of the Space Origin Law or the Time Origin Law.

After discovering this, 叶云 carefully sensed it and immediately found that the Time Origin Law and Space Origin Law, which could be clearly sensed in the previous seventeen levels of the Purgatory Abyss, had suddenly completely lost their sense.

This meant that 叶云 was completely unable to use the means of Space Origin Law and Time Origin Law in this eighteenth level of the Purgatory Abyss.

Within the scope of the eighteenth level of the Purgatory Abyss, it seemed that because there was no derivation of the Time Origin Law and Space Origin Law, the surrounding space and time were extremely chaotic. The scene you saw one second might disappear directly the next second, or suddenly appear in another location.

Only the stone tower in the center of the entire space seemed to be unaffected by any changes, standing quietly at the core of the chaotic spacetime.

Everything was full of uncertainty. Before understanding the special changes in this space, 叶云 did not dare to rush out of the stone tower rashly, and could only stay on the platform of the stone tower.

At this moment, 叶云 suddenly discovered that there was a small gap on the platform of the stone tower, and looking down from this gap, there was a staircase leading to the lower level.

Since entering the Purgatory Abyss, 叶云 had carefully explored the stone tower of each level of the Purgatory Abyss, but even the special seventeenth-level stone tower just now only had changes in the magic circle on the top platform. The overall stone tower was completely solid, and there was no way to enter it!

But at this time, this last stone tower suddenly had a downward staircase. 叶云 did not know where the staircase led to, but it was enough for 叶云 to determine that the stone tower was not solid, and there were other mysteries inside.

叶云 studied it for a long time, but because his powerful attainments in the Time Origin Law and Space Origin Law were temporarily sealed, he could not think of a way to solve the surrounding chaotic spacetime. So after thinking for a while, 叶云 no longer hesitated and commanded the three-headed monster snake to slowly climb into the staircase along the gap on the platform.

叶云 closed his eyes and completely shared the three-headed monster snake's perspective through the mental connection with it.

After entering the gap, the three-headed monster snake climbed on the long staircase and immediately saw the scene inside the stone tower.

The interior of the stone tower was completely empty, as if it had been hollowed out. From the outside, it looked like there were nineteen floors, but there was no division of floors inside. An extremely long staircase extended from the ground of the stone tower to the platform at the top.

From the perspective of the three-headed monster snake, it could be seen that this staircase was very steep. The height of nineteen floors from bottom to top was almost at the edge of the interior of the stone tower, as if to make room for the interior of the stone tower.

Under 叶云's control, the three-headed monster snake slowly climbed down from the top of the staircase, and soon came to the middle of the stone tower. Along the way, apart from the instinctive fear that emerged from the three-headed monster snake's heart, there were no other unexpected situations.

Although 叶云 could roughly see and experience the scene inside the stone tower through the mental connection with the three-headed monster snake, the effect and feeling were far inferior to his own personal experience.

Therefore, after a while, layers of green fine leaves grew out of 叶云's body surface, and instantly wrapped around 叶云's body, forming a special green battle suit.

With the close wrapping of the Iron Wire Grass, 叶云's heart suddenly calmed down a lot. He mustered all his spirits and slowly followed the route of the three-headed monster snake, gently stepping onto the staircase at the gap.

When 叶云's entire body completely entered the staircase, 叶云's scalp suddenly went numb, and an extreme sense of crisis appeared in 叶云's heart.

The scene seen by the naked eye at this time was exactly the same as what the three-headed monster snake saw just now, but in 叶云's spiritual world, it was completely different from the outside world. He 'saw' that in the middle of the hollow stone tower, there was a mass of extremely viscous consciousness, which was radiating endless waves of will impact to the surroundings.

This was also the source of the sense of crisis that 叶云 felt. The strong will impact had actually reached the level of immortality, and it was not targeted at all. It was completely unconscious and indiscriminate. In such an environment, even 叶云 could not resist it for a long time, and his spirit would inevitably suffer from impact damage over time.

A flash of inspiration flashed in 叶云's mind, and the 𩽾冧 Clan clone of the main body and the inner world quietly exchanged. The Iron Wire Grass battle suit was still tightly wrapped, but the object inside was changed to the 𩽾冧 Clan clone, and 叶云's main body entered the inner world.

Although all of 叶云's clones have the same will, the 𩽾冧 Clan clone has an extremely strong will talent, and is several levels stronger than 叶云's main body in resisting will impact.

Moreover, 叶云 discovered that the will impact emitted by the consciousness in the center of the stone tower also carries a trace of soul attack, and the 𩽾冧 Clan clone is an energy life form, naturally ignoring soul attacks.

Therefore, in the current situation, the 𩽾冧 Clan clone is undoubtedly easier to survive than 叶云's main body, and can resist for more time.

The 𩽾冧 Clan clone walked down the stairs step by step, and soon came to the center of the stone tower, and was on the same horizontal line as the consciousness in the center of the stone tower.

After a while, 叶云 in the inner world suddenly realized through the actual feeling of the 𩽾冧 Clan clone that the will impact emitted by this consciousness was the same huge will that he felt in the previous levels of the Purgatory Abyss!

In other words, the source of the will impact and erosion that permeates the entire Purgatory Abyss comes from the strange consciousness in the eighteenth-level stone tower!

After drawing such a conclusion, a hint of understanding rose in 叶云's heart. He thought about the relationship between the Initial Universe and the Primal Universe, combined with some secret information he had obtained from the memories of other powerhouses, and had already understood the true mystery of this Purgatory Abyss.

In the memory of Venerable Zhou Niu, he had encountered an extremely special life form. This life form had a unique self-world, which even bred its own unique life forms!

It's just that although this special life form is huge and contains extremely vast energy, its own consciousness appears to be extremely vast and broad, just like a virtual intelligence with only instinct. It seems that its actions must follow certain rules and cannot be as free as other life forms.

Venerable Zhou Niu called this life form—Source Universe-like Life!

This is specially named after the Primal Universe. That is to say, this type of life form generally has its own special rules, and these rules are generally related to the Primal Universe, but there are also great differences.

They are all huge in size, and when they are promoted to a high level, they have a volume close to the limit form of the Primal Universe.

Here it comes, here it comes!
