However, the extent of this enhancement was not very significant.
After all, Qin Chen's physical strength was now terrifying, comparable to that of a Peak Heaven Venerable.
To improve further was extremely difficult, and it would not come easily. However, this force still provided a substantial boost to Qin Chen's body.
Especially since this was the primordial power of the heavenly realm, such nourishment would elevate Qin Chen in multiple aspects.
What shocked Qin Chen the most was that this force, upon entering his body, did not encounter any rejection from the universe's rules.
How... is this possible?
Qin Chen's expression was one of shock.
It is known that he is currently a Peak Earth Venerable expert; as a venerable, he already transcended the Dao. Under normal circumstances, such a power increase would trigger greater repression from the universe's rules.
Yet, just moments ago, when he received feedback from the power of the Dao, he felt no constraints from the rules at all.
This... was simply abnormal! An enhancement without rule suppression was far more terrifying than a normal increase.
For example, if the same venerable had their power raised by one unit, the one without suppression genuinely increased by a full unit.
While the one with suppression would only have around eighty percent left, equivalent to zero point eight.
On the surface, everyone seems to have increased their power by one unit, but in a clash, the one without suppression could easily surpass the one who was suppressed.
This was beyond doubt.
But how could this be?
The enhancement of a venerable's power does not face suppression within the universe?
This contradicts the operation of the supreme rules of the universe.
Qin Chen furrowed his brows, puzzled.
"Could it be due to the special circumstances of the heavenly realm?"
Unable to determine, Qin Chen could only make such guesses, speculating that the heavenly realm was rather unique.
"Or is it because I am a Child of the Plane?"
A thought struck Qin Chen, and he immediately looked towards Ji Wuxue.
Boom!
The ancient realm's origin surged from Ji Wuxue, and at that moment, his aura was continuously rising.
He was already exuding an aura akin to that of a heavenly venerable.
However, he still lacked just a bit, not having crossed into heavenly venerable status.
Becoming a heavenly venerable was exceedingly difficult.
Among the ten thousand clans, heavenly venerables could be considered giants. Even though Ji Wuxue had so many opportunities and had absorbed the ancient realm's origin, as well as the feedback from the heavenly realm's origin, crossing over was not that simple.
A series of death rules swirled around Ji Wuxue, infused with chaos aura from the yin zhu long beast's power.
"Death rules?"
Qin Chen's gaze flickered as he looked towards the long river of the Dao and immediately saw a river ahead infused with deathly energy, raging waves rolling and surging violently.
Along this Dao, there were numerous gaps and holes, as well as some fissures, obstructing the flow of the Dao.
Even so, it was still astonishing in its momentum.
The death path was one of the more terrifying among the three thousand paths, and even if it were broken and fragmented, it remained extremely fearsome.
"This is the one."
Qin Chen immediately transmitted his voice to Ji Wuxue, saying, "Wuxue, follow me!"
Ji Wuxue was at a critical moment in his breakthrough to heavenly venerable. No matter how he attempted to break through, he was always unsuccessful. Just as he was feeling anxious, upon hearing Qin Chen's command, he did not hesitate at all, stopping his attempt and directly following Qin Chen.
"Qin Chen, where are you taking me?" Ji Wuxue asked, puzzled.
Right now, he had the best opportunity to break through to heavenly venerable. Missing this chance could mean waiting a long time for the next, yet Qin Chen surprisingly asked him to stop cultivating, which was quite strange.
"Just follow me."
Qin Chen led Ji Wuxue, his figure swaying, and moments later, they arrived at the death path.
