The great tribulation before Chen Luo, in a sense, could be seen as the Heavenly Dao personally explaining all the principles of this world to Chen Luo.
Within these nine heavens and nine earths, spiritual patterns were sufficient to depict all phenomena.
To decipher spiritual patterns was to gradually understand the entire world!
The so-called Grandmaster realm is the integration of predecessors' experience and knowledge in a certain field, combined with one's own understanding. In the cultivation world, it is a person who can establish a sect single-handedly.
This is essentially the limit that ordinary cultivators can reach in a certain field.
But in this world, above Grandmasters, there are Supreme Grandmasters.
That realm has reached the point of transforming the rotten into the miraculous. In their eyes, all things in the world are no longer just superficial appearances; they have truly touched the essence of the world!
This time, Linglong's True Dragon Supreme Tribulation, due to Chen Luo's intervention through the Art of Deceiving Heaven, angered the world, and with supreme power, it simulated numerous immortal tribulations, intending to destroy Chen Luo!
However, no matter how the heavens and earth enhanced the ascension tribulation, its essence remained a coexistence of danger and opportunity!
Within the endless destruction, there were still great opportunities and immense fortune!
The only question was whether the one enduring the tribulation was qualified to accept this fortune!
Clearly, Chen Luo was qualified.
The final power of the tribulation clouds erupted with "Taixu Chaos" and "Great Dao's End."
Within the formed pitch-black cube, all beings, whether existent or not, would ultimately be destroyed!
Taixu Chaos meant that all existing matter would be thoroughly crushed by chaos and the void. Even those at the peak of ascension would find it difficult to preserve themselves before this great tribulation.
And Great Dao's End was even more ferocious. In an instant, the tribulation poured an almost infinite amount of information accumulated in this world since its creation into Chen Luo's mind.
Under the onslaught of chaotic information, any intelligent being would be reduced to complete idiocy!
The tribulation had completely dropped all pretense. Such a terrifying tribulation would make even those in the Void Refinement realm within the nine heavens and nine earths tremble with fear!
This was not purely about power, as under the impact of infinite information, the so-called self would likely be diluted to the point of near non-existence.
At that point, the so-called Void Refinement cultivator would probably be nothing more than a mindless energy body storing infinite information.
But Chen Luo was special!
The chaos of Taixu Chaos could not harm his physical body in the slightest. After all, his True Transformation Domain body had already subtly transcended the mortal material realm, approaching a higher dimension.
What could truly harm Chen Luo was this unreasonable "Great Dao's End"!
...
Endless information fiercely impacted Chen Luo's spirit. The realm of a Five Arts Grandmaster, under this informational impact, began to waver precariously.
But what does not kill you makes you stronger.
Chen Luo's spirit, honed like fine gold, resisted the rampant erosion of information, while his brain simultaneously began to perform calculations at an astonishing rate!
And Chen Luo's vast sea of consciousness, without reservation, accepted all incoming information!
Countless pieces of information were continuously absorbed and categorized. The entirety of this world opened its doors to Chen Luo at this moment.
Chen Luo gradually understood everything.
He realized that the knowledge he possessed, even after reading billions of books from the vast library, was merely a drop in the ocean compared to the infinite information within Great Dao's End.
The Way of Cultivation, the Way of Artifact Refining, the Way of Formations, the Way of Talismans, the Way of Spellcasting, the Way of Alchemy.
Under the impact of this infinite information, Chen Luo's realm in all these arts began to surge once more.
Even paths not yet refined within the spiritual energy world began to develop and take shape within Chen Luo's sea of consciousness!
The Way of the Sword! The Way of the Soul! The Way of Heaven and Earth! The Way of Destiny...
All sorts of profound knowledge were being categorized and comprehended within Chen Luo's sea of consciousness every second.
Great Daos, forged by magnificent spiritual patterns, stood tall within Chen Luo's spiritual consciousness!
Every moment, the comprehension and forging of each path meant that Chen Luo gained another Grandmaster realm in that particular path.
In a daze, Chen Luo even had the feeling that he had understood everything.
But in the next instant, the influx of even more knowledge made Chen Luo realize how much he still didn't understand.
If it were a normal Void Refinement cultivator, they would likely have already been turned into a repeating machine that only uttered "Master has succeeded" under the impact of Great Dao's End.
However, even for Chen Luo, his current state was not optimistic!
His spirit, at the True Transformation Domain level, was beginning to shake under the impact of infinite information.
The sense of immortality and indestructibility emerging from the depths of his spirit was now showing signs of confusion!
When the Great Daos born within Chen Luo's sea of consciousness exceeded ten thousand, his entire spiritual sea seemed unable to bear the pressure and began to tremble faintly!
But the information infusion continued! It did not even show any signs of slowing down!
If the information were allowed to continue its assault, Chen Luo's physical body would not die, but his spirit would inevitably be diluted to the point of losing all capacity for thought.
That was a fate more cruel than death!
Sensing the fatal crisis he faced, within the pitch-black cube, the naked youth slowly opened his eyes!
His brilliant golden pupils returned to their calm, deep black. Within the depths of those black eyes, billions of stars flickered in and out of existence in an instant!
"I understand!"
Within his sea of consciousness, under the impact of infinite information, new paths were continuously being opened!
But in this very instant, all the paths that had been opened were forcibly shattered by Chen Luo!
Realms that should have been formless were, for a powerful being like Chen Luo, tangible and true power!
Therefore, as long as he willed it, he could strike himself down!
These countless powerful paths that had reached the Grandmaster realm were knowledge and understanding of space, time, destiny, and all things. They were the powerful principles of countless spiritual patterns explaining the myriad things!
But at this moment, Chen Luo spared none of them!
He shattered them all!
The surging tide of information in Chen Luo's mind abruptly halted as countless paths collapsed.
Within Chen Luo's sea of consciousness, after the collapse of these paths, the scattered spiritual patterns numbered in the trillions!
Now, lacking the integration of these paths, this boundless knowledge, combined with the information flowing from the tribulation, working from within and without,
Chen Luo's sea of consciousness was instantly in danger of collapsing!
Yet Chen Luo stood tall within the pitch-black cube, his expression as calm as still water, as if he had not perceived the terrifying danger that was about to befall him!
In a flash of creation and destruction, Chen Luo's gaze dimmed for a moment.
The next moment, infinite brilliance erupted from Chen Luo's sea of consciousness!
"Break and then stand! Great Dao's End!"
"This is the Supreme Way!"
Hum!
Within his sea of consciousness, the scattered spiritual patterns, after the fragmentation of the paths, slowly converged under an inexplicable rhythm.
After a moment, an unprecedented path roared into existence within Chen Luo's spiritual sea!
"Supreme!"
"Supreme!"
"Supreme!"
Unseen voices echoed through heaven and earth, as if the world itself was marveling at the birth of some existence.
Boom!
All paths at this moment, in Chen Luo's eyes, returned to their essence.
All cultivation techniques and protective paths were merely an explanation of the principles of spiritual energy and spiritual pattern changes within the spiritual energy civilization.
Chen Luo no longer specialized in any single path but embraced all, gathering ten thousand paths into his own supreme being!
This is the Supreme Grandmaster!
