"The ninth trial, also the ninth level of the Imperial Hall trial. The guardian's strength rivals that of an early-stage Quasi-Monarch. The reward shouldn't be bad either."
Ye Chen looked at the scroll engraved with golden, majestic patterns and smiled slightly. He reached out his hand, and a stream of information instantly flowed into his mind. Even he couldn't help but experience a momentary blankness in his thoughts.
Because the amount of information was simply too vast.
In his mind, a scene instantly appeared: an endless, boundless cosmic Star Sky, vast and desolate, with immense great worlds floating and sinking, and a vast Upper Realm continent suspended in the void.
It was a kaleidoscope of strange and wondrous sights, and even more, there were infinitely powerful beings appearing.
This was a powerful great Universe.
Within it, in that boundless starry river, a colossal figure so immense it blotted out the boundless Star Sky emerged.
It was a Kunpeng. Its twin wings blotted out the heavens and covered the earth, enveloping the boundless starry river, immeasurably vast. A single breath from it could shatter infinite stars, causing even solar stars to dim and die out.
Whoosh—
The Kunpeng merely gave its wings a slight tremble, and in an instant, its form, which could eclipse the starry river, vanished without a trace, surpassing time, surpassing space-time, shattering the Universe's shackles, and entering that even more vast and boundless place—
The Chaos Sea!
Its terrifying speed could even leave a Supreme One in the dust!
Finally, everything disappeared, and the Kunpeng reappeared in his mind.
But upon closer inspection, that Kunpeng was not a true Kunpeng. It was formed from condensed runes, and was, in fact, the essence of a scripture, the essence of a peerless divine ability.
The Kunpeng Great Universe Technique!
Ye Chen immediately understood what kind of divine ability this was.
It was a movement divine ability, specifically related to the Kunpeng. Legend said it was the supreme movement secret technique created by the First Generation Kunpeng, known as the Kunpeng Great Universe Technique.
'In the Northern Darkness, there is a fish, its name is Kun. The Kun is so vast, one knows not how many thousands of li it measures. Transforming into a bird, its name is Peng. The Peng's back, one knows not how many thousands of li it measures. When angered, it takes flight, its wings like clouds hanging from the heavens.'
This described the Kunpeng.
Regarding the Kunpeng's movement technique, it was: 'The great Peng rises with the wind in a single day, soaring ninety thousand li.'
However, these were merely mortal records of descendants who carried traces of Kunpeng bloodline. The true, pure-blooded Kunpeng was terrifying. Like the First Generation Kunpeng, with a single flap of its wings, it could traverse endless Star Skies, shatter the shackles of Universes, and shuttle between one Ancient Chaos Universe after another.
The Kunpeng Great Universe Technique was founded upon this basis. Once this movement technique was executed to its utmost extreme, one could shuttle through Ancient Chaos Universes. No place within the vastness of the Chaos Sea would be unreachable.
"It's actually the legendary Kunpeng Great Universe Technique, the ultimate movement technique of speed."
A light of pleasant surprise instantly appeared in Ye Chen's eyes.
The name of the Kunpeng Great Universe Technique was one that truly shook the Chaos Sea and resonated through the ages as one of the strongest divine abilities.
Even the Realm-Treading Secret Technique paled in comparison.
Because the Kunpeng was renowned for its speed, and when speed reached its peak, it could similarly shatter space-time, break free from the constraints of time, and proudly traverse past and present.
The First Generation Kunpeng was even hailed as the number one speed existence in the Chaos Sea, far surpassing other Supreme Ones.
The movement divine ability created by the First Generation Kunpeng was anything but simple, especially the Kunpeng Great Universe Technique, which could be called heaven-defying, capable of overturning past and present.
It was just a pity that Ye Chen discovered this scroll of the Kunpeng Great Universe Technique was missing a crucial part, concerning the final portion.
Perhaps even the original Emperor master of the Immortal Imperial Hall might not have obtained the complete Kunpeng Great Universe Technique. After all, this was the Kunpeng clan's secret, never to be passed on. Only a true pure-blood Kunpeng would have the qualification to obtain the complete Kunpeng Great Universe Technique.
However, even having most of the scroll was quite gratifying.
Ye Chen immediately began cultivating it. His comprehension was inherently heaven-defying, and his cultivation was at the Quasi-Monarch level. Many cultivation problems could be quickly resolved. In just half a day, he successfully cultivated the Kunpeng Great Universe Technique.
His figure moved. Swish—
His figure abruptly vanished from its original spot, appearing the next moment elsewhere, separated by a distance of several hundred to tens of millions of li.
This was still limited by the constraints of this evolved ninth trial heaven and earth. Otherwise, it would be even more astonishing. When pushed to the extreme, it could even manifest faint threads of temporal power, further enhancing its speed.
"Excellent. Relying on the Kunpeng Great Universe Technique, my speed has increased by nearly thirty percent out of thin air. In the future, even if I face an Ancient Sovereign and cannot defeat them, I can still use the Kunpeng Great Universe Technique to escape through the void." Ye Chen was very pleased. The greatest harvest from this Immortal Imperial Hall trial was the Kunpeng Great Universe Technique.
Moreover, the Kunpeng Great Universe Technique was a movement technique created by the First Generation Kunpeng, hailed as the number one movement technique in the Chaos Sea. Naturally, it wasn't that simple.
According to the annotations on the scroll, the Kunpeng Great Universe Technique was divided into five levels.
Void-Shattering, Extreme Light, Myriad Realms, Great Universe, Eternity!
Relying on his Quasi-Monarch cultivation and heaven-defying talent, Ye Chen directly cultivated to the second level, Extreme Light.
Transforming into extreme light, surpassing the speed of light!
If one reached the third level, Myriad Realms, this level was roughly equivalent to the peak of the Realm-Treading Secret Technique, allowing one to freely shuttle through the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, roaming among them.
As for the fourth level, Great Universe, one could then freely shatter the shackles of Universes, roam through the All Heavens and Ancient Chaos Universes, and even break into the River of Time to wander within it.
Upon reaching this stage, even if one encountered a Supreme One, they would have no fear. By relying on the Kunpeng Great Universe Technique, they could surpass space-time, traverse Universes, and directly escape.
Although Ye Chen was currently limited to the second level, Extreme Light, even so, it was still a full thirty percent faster than the Realm-Treading Secret Technique.
Thirty percent might not seem like much, but in reality, it was incredibly heaven-defying.
One must know that the Realm-Treading Secret Technique was already considered among the top tier of movement techniques. If not for a heaven-defying movement technique like the Kunpeng Great Universe Technique, there were probably few movement techniques in the Chaos Sea that could surpass the Realm-Treading Secret Technique.
"Although the Kunpeng Great Universe Technique is somewhat incomplete, it's sufficient to cultivate to the fourth level, Great Universe. Once I reach that level, I'll be able to, like the First Generation Kunpeng, resemble a Supreme One, shuttling through the All Heavens and Ancient Universes."
Ye Chen was content with his lot. As for the most crucial fifth level, Eternity, it was likely that even the First Generation Kunpeng couldn't achieve it. Otherwise, upon reaching that level, the First Generation Kunpeng would have completely transcended, becoming truly Eternal.
After all, among the myriad Daos of the world, it wasn't necessarily only the Chaos Great Dao that could become the Dao of Eternity. Other Daos should also have the potential, it's just that the Chaos Great Dao held the greatest hope.
"I wonder if one day, if my path of Chaos becomes impassable, I could rely on the Kunpeng Great Universe Technique, push the Dao of Speed to its ultimate extreme, break through the shackles, and transcend to become Eternal?" Ye Chen murmured to himself.
He felt that this Kunpeng Great Universe Technique would have unimaginable great use for his future self.
At the same time, after successfully cultivating the Kunpeng Great Universe Technique, Ye Chen left the ninth trial area and entered the tenth trial.
