Chapter 418: Chapter418-Crushing the Invincible Divine Sovereign
Swish, swish, swish...
Rumble!
Reo was completely submerged beneath an ocean of colossal palms.
Every single palm posed a threat no weaker than a fatal strike from an Oracle-grade expert.
The palms surged forward like an endless tide, completely swallowing his figure.
Had this been a battle between their true bodies, Reo would already be dead.
Daniel watched the scene calmly.
He had not even used his full strength. He had not summoned a single clone, yet Reo—the legendary expert said to have suppressed the prodigies of countless eras—had already lost.
"So this is the power of transcendent reincarnation. Truly unbelievable."
Daniel drew a deep breath.
The reason he had been able to completely crush Reo today was that he had comprehended the transcendent Law of Reincarnation. He had then linked the Law of Reincarnation to the advancement limit of his supreme sage rank, allowing it to leap directly from "micro-instants" to "days."
The limit of a year was three hundred and sixty-five days.
Although he could only reincarnate and overlap the Strength of three hundred and sixty-four days, he could draw upon both the past and the future, stacking the Strength of three hundred and sixty-four days from each direction.
By engraving this power into the Ring of Destiny, he effectively gained the combined Strength of seven hundred and twenty-eight versions of himself.
That was an unimaginably terrifying level of Strength.
Even someone as powerful as Reo could only be utterly crushed beneath it.
Swish!
The clouds and mist before Daniel gathered once more, reforming Reo’s figure.
At this moment, Reo’s aura had returned to the level of a T9 Oracle-grade expert. He studied Daniel with a deep gaze.
Then, he suddenly smiled.
"You are very strong. Had we lived in the same era, even I would have had no choice but to admit defeat."
"Unfortunately, I have already fallen."
Hearing this, Daniel knew that he had passed the trial and could continue comprehending the Ring of Destiny.
"Reaching transcendent is enough for now. Once I advance the Law of Causality to transcendent as well, I’ll be able to formally step into Divine Descendant."
Daniel silently calculated.
There would probably be another trial when that happened.
However, there was still one thing he was curious about.
"My lord, you are only a strand of remnant soul. Had your true body been here, I doubt I could have defeated you so easily."
Daniel smiled faintly.
"Why did you remain here?"
"In the end, I failed to take that final step and was completely annihilated within the Eternal Tribulation."
Reo sighed.
"I do not know why the Ring of Destiny drew a strand of my remnant soul from the River of Time and brought it here."
"The Eternal Tribulation was something even my previous life could not overcome. I reincarnated in an attempt to escape it and delay its arrival, yet I still failed to avoid it..."
"The Eternal Tribulation..."
Daniel fell into thought.
Oracle-grade experts had to endure nine Holy Tribulations.
Beyond those nine trials, there was also the deadliest of them all—the Eternal Tribulation.
Those who survived it would become Eternal Sages, transcend the River of Time, and gain the power to roam freely throughout the Endless Starsea.
Above Eternal Sage lay the Endless Tribulation...
This was why the closer one came to the pinnacle, the fewer experts remained.
Even someone as powerful as Reo had fallen within the Eternal Tribulation and become nothing more than dust in the star sea.
"It was only before my death that I finally understood one truth."
Reo gazed meaningfully at Daniel.
"The stronger you are, the easier the Eternal Tribulation does not necessarily become."
"I hope you will remember that."
Daniel froze for a moment, then nodded.
Swish!
The scene before his eyes suddenly changed.
In the next instant, he found himself back inside the sanctum.
"Now, only the Law of Causality remains."
Daniel drew a deep breath and took out the Chronoverse Prologue Codex.
"Deduce a law."
He only hoped that this deduction would produce the Law of Causality.
That way, he could comprehend its transcendent form more easily and advance to Divine Descendant.
[Prompt: Confirm the consumption of ten billion Primordial Spirits to deduce a forbidden law?]
"Confirm!"
[Ding! Deduction successful! This deduction has produced the Law of Causality!]
Daniel listened to the system notification.
Although he was surprised, it was not entirely unexpected.
Over the years, he had continuously deduced laws but had never encountered the Law of Causality.
Now, it seemed the time for his reward had finally arrived.
[Prompt: The Law of Causality has already been detected. Would you like to fuse them? Upon successful fusion, the Law of Causality will advance!]
"Fuse!"
Daniel did not hesitate.
This was precisely the moment he had been waiting for.
[Ding! Fusion successful. The Law of Causality has advanced successfully.]
[Prompt: The current level of the Law of Causality is transcendent!]
Daniel immediately examined his law tree.
As expected, the Law of Causality had reached transcendent.
Once the Law of Causality reached transcendent, it could directly erase a target through the threads of karma.
Back then, the Oracle-grade expert Justin had possessed the transcendent Law of Causality.
At the request of the Angel King, he had attempted to erase Daniel through the threads of karma while Daniel was still weak.
However, Daniel had already condensed the Fortune Points of his race at the time.
Not only had Justin failed, but he had also suffered backlash from those Fortune Points.
And now, Daniel had mastered the same ability.
If he also gained control over the Laws of Space and Time, then as long as he was willing to pay the necessary price, he could even erase a target from every point in space-time.
Not even an Eternal Sage would be able to resurrect them.
"The transcendent Law of Causality and the transcendent Law of Reincarnation."
Now that both of Daniel’s two great laws had reached transcendent, he was already standing at the threshold of Divine Descendant.
Divine Descendants were infinitely close to Oracle-grade.
One could even say that an Oracle-grade expert was simply a Divine Descendant who had undergone a complete sublimation.
The only difference between the two was that one had survived a Holy Tribulation, while the other had yet to face it.
"The sage rank of a Divine Descendant becomes a world’s will unto itself."
Daniel recalled the profound mysteries taught by high-stage Oracle-grade experts, along with the knowledge recorded in ancient texts.
A Divine Descendant’s sage rank was comparable to a world’s will.
That meant Divine Descendants stood above the will of an individual world, yet beneath the Greater Cosmic Will.
The Holy Tribulation was both a test and a shackle imposed upon Divine Descendants by the Greater Cosmic Will.
The Strength of an Eternal Sage was already comparable to the Greater Cosmic Will.
A Supreme Sage was an existence that surpassed even the Greater Cosmic Will.
The Greater Cosmic Will could never tolerate a living being surpassing it.
Therefore, it would retaliate madly, setting traps and attempting to annihilate those who threatened its supremacy.
This process already began the moment a Divine Descendant attempted to cross into Oracle-grade.
What Daniel needed to do now was advance to Divine Descendant.
He had to transcend the will of a world and transform his supreme sage rank into an existence comparable to a world’s will.
At the same time, he would accept the nourishment fed back by his sage rank, strengthening his body until his own power also surpassed the level of a world’s will.
"Fortunately, I have tens of billions of divine energy. It should be enough!"
Daniel no longer hesitated.
He poured all of his divine energy into his sage rank.
At the same time, he activated the Law of Causality and the Law of Reincarnation with all his power.
Swish...
One water lily after another bloomed within his supreme sage rank.
At last, even the largest water lily at the very center slowly opened.
Countless streams of gray aura condensed into illusory water lilies, which then poured into Daniel’s body one after another.
He enjoyed the nourishment fed back by his sage rank as his entire body was completely transformed from the inside out.
At this moment, he could clearly sense immense energy contained within every cell.
Every strand of his genetic structure was undergoing a qualitative transformation.
Although the external structure of his body remained unchanged, its inner nature had been completely reborn.
In terms of mass, the density of his current body already surpassed that of countless life-bearing planets.
In terms of energy, the Strength contained within each individual cell was comparable to an entire minor world.
At the same time, his sage rank also began to change.
Back in the Astral Realm, the world’s will had willingly annihilated itself, carrying with it an immeasurable amount of World Origin power to help Daniel construct his sage rank.
And now, within that sage rank, a new spirit of world will had actually been born.
However, this spirit possessed neither independent mind power nor consciousness.
That was because Daniel’s mind power was its will.
It was merely a projection of Daniel himself.
