Chapter 421: Dao Lord! Dao Lord!
"I have finally reached this step!"
Su Yuan raised his hand, and a palm-sized circular jade disc appeared in his grasp.
He had completely mastered the [True Name Jade Disc] and grasped the power of true names!
His perception could probe into infinitely distant places, could pierce through the past and future;nearly everything was within his sight.
His power was immeasurably vast. Everything influenced, derived, or created by the True Name Dao Principle had become a part of his strength.
His power could no longer be described by cultivation level, nor by mere energy;even matter was no longer important.
He was the True Name Dao Principle itself!
His physical body, his soul, even his True Spirit were no longer his weaknesses.
Or to put it another way, he had become the spirit of the True Name Dao Principle. He could accomplish all sorts of inconceivable things without any cost, needing only a single thought to complete various miraculous feats!
He could even sense the boundary of "existence" and touch the presence of "nothingness"!His Dao Principle power extended into "nothingness," where he could give birth to rules, laws, energy, and matter from nothingness.
He could also reverse this process, using the True Name Dao Principle to negate everything in the world! Of course, the world did not consist solely of the True Name Dao Principle. If he wanted to reverse this process, it would depend on whether the other Dao Lords agreed.
And Su Yuan had a realization: if he used his own Dao Principle to evolve "nothingness" and give birth to a realm of "existence," then the area formed would be an absolute domain evolved from his own Dao Principle!
Within the absolute domain, everything was governed by his own Dao Principle;he himself was the strongest existence.
In that instant, Su Yuan thought of the Nine Nether Realm, the Nine Purity Land, and the Nine Void Land. So, those places were the absolute domains of their respective Dao Lords, their personal territories gradually transformed from "nothingness."
And then Su Yuan thought of the Nine Stars Land.
After rubbing the [True Name Jade Disc], he understood the origin of the [Nine Stars Land]'s predecessor, the [Tear of Eternity].
It turned out the [True Name Jade Disc] had been born at the dawn of Chaos's birth. After its birth, the [True Name Jade Disc] began to evolve "nothingness" into "existence," forming its own absolute domain.
Through endless, infinite ages of transformation, it finally formed a boundless absolute domain belonging to the [True Name Jade Disc] itself.
Therefore, Su Yuan's previous ability to expand the [Nine Stars Land] to infinitely distant places wasn't solely due to the supply of Dao Source Value. It was because the [Nine Stars Land] was originally that vast;the Dao Source Value was merely the "key" that activated it.
Su Yuan gained significant understanding.
Moreover, when he tried to create his own absolute domain, he discovered that an absolute domain opened using only one Dao Principle had a limit.
Taking the True Name Dao Principle he currently mastered as an example, if he relied solely on his own Dao Principle to open one, the absolute domain he could create would be, at most, about one percent the size of the Chaos Continent.
Only with more and more complete Dao Principles could one open an even more vast absolute domain.
"Nine is the extreme! When the number of Dao Principles mastered reaches ten, the absolute domain can be transformed into a new Chaos. That is when one reaches another level, which can be called Chaos Dominator!"
Su Yuan had successive realizations.
The [Nine Stars Land], relying on the supreme treasure [True Name Jade Disc], broke the limit of an absolute domain's scope formed by a single Dao Principle. But in essence, it was still an absolute domain derived from just one Dao Principle. It was still nine Dao Principles short of evolving into Chaos.
"Even for a Dao Lord, mastering another Dao Principle must be extremely difficult. Moreover, there is immense mutual rejection between Dao Principles. For every additional Dao Principle mastered, the difficulty of mastering the next one increases by at least tenfold, a hundredfold!"
"The second one might be manageable, but the difficulty of a third is almost impossible to achieve. Nine additional Dao Principles... that's just too difficult!"
Su Yuan fell into deep thought.
Su Yuan paused, suddenly struck by an idea: "What if I incorporate other Dao Lords into my own absolute domain? Could that substitute for the number of Dao Principles?"
The answer was yes!
He realized that the so-called Nine Nether Realm had likely already incorporated a not insignificant number of Dao Lords. Otherwise, how could the Nine Nether Realm have reached such an exaggerated level?
Furthermore, to suppress other Dao Lords, one must comprehend an additional Dao Principle. Only then would one have the qualification to suppress other Dao Lords and seize the dominant authority within the Nine Nether Realm!
Once the Lord of the Nine Nether breaks through to become a Chaos Dominator, the incorporated Dao Lords might completely lose control of their own Dao Principles, reduced to mere nourishment!
Of course, if several people cooperate and jointly break through to Chaos Dominator, the dominant one could also allow the others to survive. Their life and death would then rest solely on the whim of the Chaos Dominator.
In the blink of an eye, Su Yuan saw through the entire landscape of Dao Lords within Chaos!
"It's like a game of chess. A few players have already become the chess masters, while other newly ascended Dao Lords are just prey."
Su Yuan murmured, "There must also be some Dao Lords who only control a single Dao Principle, hiding within their own absolute domains, not daring to come out!"
"No wonder, no wonder Dao Lords are so scarce in Chaos, and even Great Emperiors have mostly gone into hiding..."
He thought of the 107 Great Emperiors he sensed during his True Name Dao Principle's ascension. His True Name Dao Principle was somewhat special, which was why he could sense so many hidden Great Emperiors!
Currently, only four Great Emperiors were exposed in Chaos, with the remaining 103 hiding in the shadows. That's just... incredible.
If even Great Emperiors were like this, one could imagine how many Dao Lords were hidden.
Only now did Su Yuan understand how utterly audacious his action of deploying the [Nine Stars Land] back then had been!
He hadn't notified those "chess masters" at all;he had directly announced his entry, shouting to the Dao Lords of Chaos that another wolf had arrived, so they'd better hide quickly!
"Hiss... then my True Name Dao Principle is truly terrifying!"
Su Yuan suddenly realized just how bug-like his True Name Dao Principle was!
It wasn't just that he could obtain Dao Source Points from Dao Lords. The important thing was, he could unearth beings who hadn't broken through yet but had the potential to become Dao Lords in the future! And then strike first!
"Lin Feng has been targeted by the master of the Nine Nether Realm. Clearly, the Lord of the Nine Nether also has means to detect Dao Lords. But the other party didn't directly abduct Lin Feng. Was it out of concern for affecting his path to becoming a Dao Lord?"
After a moment's thought, Su Yuan understood the reason. The Lord of the Nine Nether was already close to the Chaos Dominator level. His power might already be capable of influencing the Status of a Dao Lord, which is why his actions were, conversely, constrained.
"I understand now, I understand everything!"
Su Yuan sighed. "I cannot prematurely master a second Dao Principle. I should take advantage of the fact that I cannot yet influence the Status of other Dao Lords to find a sufficient number of Dao Lord seedlings, gather them into my net. Then, comprehend a second Dao Principle, wait for them to grow up, incorporate them all into my Nine Stars Land, and achieve the Chaos Dominator level in one fell swoop! Of course, if I could directly comprehend nine additional Dao Principles myself, that would be best."
