--- Chapter 330 ---

Dragon God and his ten daughters stared at Yunlong with a weird gaze. However, the odd man doesn't care about them and keeps eating his potato chips.

Crunch!

"Want some?" Yunlong offered a bag of chips to Taotie, who jumped toward him like a hungry cat.

Taotie moved at incredible speed and left a brownish blur in the air, reaching over Yunlong's hand. She was about to grasp the potato chip bag but failed to take it for some reason. Her hand seemed to sink into the shadow of the potato chip bag.

"Afterimage..." A mountain-like dragon commented while blinking her eyes gently.

Mountain Dragon King has been observing Yunlong when he took a step into the Dragon Clan's Graveyard with two other spirit beasts. She was amazed by his strange Dragon Blood and mastery over spiritual energy.

However, to dodge Taotie's attack so casually like that? That's impossible for a mortal.

She glanced at her father and added, "He's not a mortal. His sheer draconic aura alone is on par with Dragon Kings like us when we are born into this world. Weirdly, he hasn't unlocked his latent potential at 23 years old. Right, All-Father?"

"Give me that thing!" Taotie pouted while eyeing the potato chip bag.

Yunlong shrugged his shoulders and threw the potato chips bag at Taotao, looking at the Earth Dragon King with amusement like she was an adorable puppy chasing over a delicious bone.

Taotie opened her mouth and swallowed the whole bag, which left Yunlong speechless. "Yummy~! Give me more!" She hugged Yunlong from behind.

'What a glutton. Taotie is somewhat similar to Gluttony but more adorable.' Yunlong thought while piling up potato chip bags on the ground. Taotie was about to devour the whole thing again, but he stopped her by telling her not to eat the plastic.

The other Dragon Kings watched their sister being tamed so easily by this man. And couldn't help but stare at him with odd astonishment. After all, no one besides Dragon God should be able to control her hunger.

'Tie looks so happy. Does that thing even taste good?' The Seven-Colored Dragon King's eyes fluttered slightly.

Yunlong smirked at them and said, "Are you guys done? Let's start with some explaining, shall we?"

"First and foremost. Did Space Dragon King and Time Dragon King say they secretly were controlled by Universal Laws? What does that mean?"

"Universal Laws used unknown techniques to influence their minds outside of my control. It's embarrassing if you think about it." Dragon God sighed weakly. "They also aren't aware of it until everything is too late."

Yunlong immediately thinks of Kotoamatsukami. A technique like that wasn't unusual because he has watched several anime with annoying mind-controlling powers. It also could be like Lelouch's Geass.

No, that's too absurd. Neo has concluded that the Universal Laws of Douluo Dalu-101 is an Outer God with a weapon called Fate Canceller. They shouldn't have such absolute power over Time and Space.

He had witnessed Saeko/Primordial Sword Goddess's fraction of power and peeked into the Omniversal Order. Yes, he was able to copy the technique used by her with his Heaven Ruler. It's weak, but Yunlong can freely control up to the Seventh Dimension for a short period.

A few moments ago, Yunlong was honestly surprised when learning that Dragon God could do the same without anyone's help.

'Ah, wait... Time and Space are the easiest laws to influence because they govern every domain within this universe. Being influenced should block Space Dragon King and Time Dragon King's perceptions for a while.' Yunlong assumed with a frown.

[You're correct, Host]

[I'm surprised you can guess the problem in such a short amount of time]

'Well, I'm familiar with these things after training in that damn prison for nine freaking years. It's not difficult to deduct this because I have cut the Outer God's strings-like influence once with my sword.' Yunlong returned with a chuckle inside.

He could sense the black strings around Space Dragon King and Time Dragon King's Astral Bodies. Some Outer God's influence was left, but not enough to make them falter.

"String, huh?"

Yunlong summoned his Thousand Miracles Handkerchief and created thin golden lines. The Dragons observed beautiful threads flying everywhere and formed a cyclone filled with mysterious sword intent.

[Infinite Sword Ways x Golden Cutting Threads]

"Dimensional Cuts." He flicked his finger casually, causing Space Dragon King and Time Dragon King to gasp in horror because he cut Outer God's influence on them.

"H-How?"

"Even Father's Claws couldn't cut this control apart..."

Dragon God was also stunned by Yunlong's feats. In the Divine Wars against the Universal Laws, he used his most "Powerful." attack and still failed to cut Universal Law's influences.

Yunlong shrugged and replied, "Trust me, cutting those lines are thousand times easier than the one I did in prison. Also, this technique of mine is considered the best in the whole universe."

'It's not good bragging like that, Master. I've seen too many anime and novels where a horrible flag appears because of this.' Alpha suddenly commented somewhat wisely.

'I'm not bragging. It's the truth!' He returned casually. Infinite Sword Ways literally was placed at number one with him in the Omniversal Sword Record.

The Primordial Sword Goddess, Saeko, also stated this because Infinite Sword Ways was out of her control. An irregular path beyond Omniversal Sword Ruler like her.

...

"Well, don't overthink too much about the small details. I've dealt with the annoyance for you guys, which means we can start the training from now on." Yunlong said, to which Dragon God responded with a nod.

There is no point in wasting time because Universal Laws could be here any second. Dragon God released a bright nine-colored light and pushed it to Yunlong, giving it a form of a sword.

"This is the condensation of my corpse, energy, and last bit of divinity. I shaped it into a saber because you seemed to use a sword like Asura. Dragon Cleaver is the most powerful divine weapon ever created by me. After you make a connection with it, I'll slowly disappear."

"Father..." The Ten Dragon Kings looked at the Dragon God with difficulty. Even though they have passed away, their spirit could still survive for a few millennia and reincarnate again. Their father will completely disappear from this world.

A nine-colored saber with a white edge floated above Yunlong's head, releasing a powerful divine presence.

Yunlong's mouth twitched because this drama became more and more uncontrollable. He sighed and grasped over the saber's handle gently, feeling the enormous energy and draconic influence coursing into his astral body.

"This..."

"You condensed Dragon God's Seat into this saber as well?"

"Yes." A chuckle escaped Dragon God's mouth because his resentment against the universal laws is more significant than mere God Seat. "This is my last attempt, using everything I had to eradicate universal laws."

[You have received Dragon God's pure energy...]

[Divine Light Astral Soul merged with True Saint Dragon]

[...]

[Dark Heaven Astral Soul merged with True Evil Dragon]

[...]

Yunlong kneeled on the ground and coughed nine-colored lights from his mouth. He felt every blood inside his body boiling like no tomorrow, evolving further beyond.

"His Dragon's blood..."

"It's evolving?"

BOOM!

Twin stars broke into the Dragon Clan's Graveyard and entered the Astral Realm, falling into Yunlong's body. A golden and crimson ball of lights merged slowly into his skin, releasing a translucent aura.

Dragon God's eyes widened in awe because those twin stars had a presence above the 7th dimension. It can't be his doing because Dragon Cleaver doesn't have enough energy to reach that stage, which means Yunlong has a connection with an even higher dimension.

"There is no way." He muttered in disbelief, watching Yunlong's body absorb his energy completely. It shouldn't be this quick.

Dragon God was sure his billion years' worth of energy could last forever for Yunlong. However, a man with God Officer cultivation realm somehow devoured it within a second.

He wanted to teach Yunlong how to refine and attain Dragon God's Physique to use Dragon Cleaver, but he didn't expect something like this to happen. His former vision is useless now.

It's useless because an Omniversal Entity like the Primordial Sword Goddess was involved. But then, Yunlong hasn't realized the value of [Divine Light Astral Soul] and [Dark Heaven Astral Soul] is more than Dragon Cleaver combined with all Dragon God's treasure.

The purest and darkest star of Astral River, having enough pure power to destroy several universes by simply existing. They actually were rumored to be Primordial Sword Goddess's third prized treasure.

Yunlong and Neo can't be faulted in this situation because only the Primordial Sword Goddess knows the value of the Astral Souls. They would never think she would give universal-defying treasure like candy.

[Your body tempered by Omniversal Starlights]

[Your Dragon's Blood has evolved under thousand purest and darkest energies...]

[Your Bones and Muscle have become Astral Rivers]

[You have attained Starless Dragon God's Physique]

Neo's notifications come one after another, raining Yunlong's mind with spam information. Yet, he was somehow able to digest them easily.

Under the starlight cover, Dragon God and Dragon Kings noticed six crimson spirit rings manifested on Yunlong's back. They weren't as shocked because 100k years old is a rookie number for them.

The spirit ring coiled against each other and absorbed the Astral Soul's energies, turning darker with each second. And become completely pure white and black three minutes later.

"One million years old..." The Light Dragon King muttered to herself. "Light attributes in those spirit rings are so pure... Even my light isn't comparable to it."

"I agree..." The Darkness Dragon King added while nodding her head. "Absolute Darkness is a concept that was vague to me for a very long time. Is it enough for God of Darkness or the Darkness Dragon King to become Darkness itself?"

"No, Today, I realize "Lightless." is exist."

Yunlong breathed in and squeezed the Dragon Cleaver's handle tightly. His mind gradually drifted to a new place.

"You're faster than I expected, Yunlong~." Saeko's playful voice echoed. "Welcome to the secret realm of Nothingness."

"When one combines the concept of "Darkless." and "Lightless." together, everything will return to the beginning when those things don't exist. The land of nothingness where everything started."

"You're the third person who arrived at this place. Well, the Astral Souls I gave to you were part of the key. As for the other key, you have it all this time already. I'm just betting on my instinct, hehe~."

"You already know, don't you?" She teased him again.

"Oh, the time is out! The Great Omniversal Will is mad at me for spoiling things."

"Then, see you again, Yunlong~."

...

Yunlong opened his eyes and felt everything changing. He could see infinite abstract lines in the atmosphere and sensed every single of them could cause "Great." destruction by simply touching them.

"Part of the key..." He muttered solemnly.

"My eyes?"
