Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 1002 - New Dao Fragments! And Rank 7 Great Goddess!



.

Feeling fascinated by the new amount of powers I had unlocked, I glanced at the new Dao Fragments that the nice Null had gifted to me.

Perhaps the way I get them is unique to my Devouring ability, as I doubt that many normal beings could be able to easily gain Daos as I do.

Well, they are fragments for now, and I have no idea how to strengthen them for now, so they will stay as little fragments for the moment. But I am guessing that they might become full-fledged Daos at some point, perhaps if I strengthen them…

Anyways, I decided to check the Dao Fragments to not waste any more time.

[Small Fragment of the Cosmic Dao of Emptiness]

An incredibly small fragment of the crystallization of the Dao of Emptiness, containing its primordial and transcendental essence and an incredibly small part of its capabilities.

The Cosmic Dao of Emptiness is part of the Cosmic Dao subcategory, formed by the combination of Chaos and Void as its primary Laws, alongside Darkness and Space as its secondary Laws. It grants the user the ability to empty an area, a living being, or a concept… Or even in higher realms, it can even fuse oneself with emptiness, becoming the embodiment of Void.

The grade of emptiness that things and concepts can be made into varies depending on the level of power of the Dao, its mastery, proficiency, and the power of the user.

Primary Effect: Grants the ability to empty a foe or an object partially, absorbing part of the area you desire to empty, and vacuuming as if you were a representation of a black hole, this effect can be used as an enchantment to any attack or move the user does. The level of power it possesses and the capability it has to damage others are based on the Dao comprehension, the user stats, and its existence realm.

Secondary Effect: Enhances the Ability to comprehend the Law of Void, Chaos, Darkness, and Space by 100%, while increasing damage dealt using the primary effect by 500%.

[Small Fragment of the Grand Cosmic Dao of Nothingness]

An incredibly small fragment of the crystallization of the Dao of Nothingness, containing its primordial and transcendental essence and an incredibly small part of its capabilities.

The Grand Cosmic Dao of Nothingness is part of the Grand Cosmic Dao subcategory, formed by the combination of Chaos and Void as its primary Laws, alongside Darkness and Space as its secondary Laws.

It grants the user the ability to turn concepts, things, and more into nothingness.

The grade of nothingness that things and concepts can be turned into varies depending on the level of power of the Dao, its mastery, proficiency, and the power of the user.

Primary Effect: Grants the ability to disintegrate concepts and objects within the user's touch vicinity, things such as long-ranged attacks and weapons can be enchanted with this effect temporarily. The level of power it possesses and the capability it has to damage others are based on the Dao comprehension, the user stats, and its existence realm.

Secondary Effect: Enhances the Ability to comprehend the Law of Void, Chaos, Darkness, and Space by 100%, while increasing damage dealt using the primary effect by 500%.

Amazing. I guess both pair pretty well together. I would guess that I have to use them at the same time to see their true effect.

However, it seems that aside from damaging a foe, this power can also be used over concepts.

What does this even mean? Meaning that I could empty my mind and make myself calm. Or I could turn something like a cooldown into nothingness (partially) and reduce its time.

It is left for my imagination, so I need to practice them greatly… and the secondary effect they bring is also fantastical, giving me the ability to speed up my comprehension speed of those Laws…

However, this power is very small compared to the actual Daos…

Does this mean that I won't be able to disintegrate someone on sight? Most likely.

Does this mean I won't be able to slowly disintegrate or vacuum them into emptiness? Not at all, it is merely another way of fighting, a rather terrible one… Terrible for the one fighting against it, that's it.

I wonder if Null… If he has these two fully comprehended and assimilated… Can't he just… disintegrate his enemies into the void? Wow…

Even my disintegration abilities don't work completely if the enemies can resist with their own powers and divinities, so they are more like a powerful attack method, but not a sure death sentence.

Well, it's better that way, to be honest.

For now, I decided to call it a day and enjoy the rest of the day with my family, while eating more of what Electra and Fafnir create with their Daos.

[Day 351]

Today was a lazy day, I decided to move my Rank Up to Rank 7 (the last I can do for now) for tomorrow, while I relaxed with my family.

There are many things I am doing as I relax, so don't ever dare call me lazy.

I have already created two more clones for each group of essence absorption, and I haven't upgraded nor made new Path Jewels because I am accumulating Divine Points.

Soon enough I should be able to get into the number I require, which is… 20 Million.

As of now, I have a bit over 11 Million, but I require more. So I will have to wait some more.

I have been practicing the new and powerful Dao Fragments by using them against hordes after hordes of divine beasts inside the Babel Tower. Of course, I went with another body there.

I have been practicing for hours, adjusting the amount of divine energy I require to fuel into it, and many other things. It seems that this power can quite literally help me do what they say they can do.

For example, by employing the fragment of emptiness, I was able to empty the entire body of a divine beast and make it let argic, it died after some time.

Of course, it doesn't work the same if I use such a concept with ethereal-type divine beasts resembling ghosts. For those, I had to employ the fragment of nothingness and turn their ethereal masses into nothing!

Although I am sure that stronger foes wouldn't die so quickly, these divine beasts, although Rank 5 Great God Realm, are still weaker than me, so they die fairly easily. Like slapping a fly into the wall… How feeble.

I continued to fight using the fragments as I infused their power as enchantments over my spears, easily turning into nothingness anything they touched, it was a funny sight to behold for my spear to penetrate the head of a gigantic 100-meter-tall Elephant Dragon only for it to quickly becoming nothingness in an instant…

Indeed, this is quite hilarious.

And it was a bit addictive. The more I used it, the stronger the Dao Fragment grew, so I continued to slaughter beasts by vacuuming them out of existence or tuning them into cosmic dust that turned into nothing.

I know this is a very inefficient way of fighting, as I want to devour things, not turn them into ashes…

This is why I am currently practicing and seeing if I can somehow add my devour to it.

As of now, it has barely been working, it seems that the rate at which things turn into nothingness or are emptied is faster than my devour.

I really need a Devour Dao fragment to pair it with these two… But the only way for me to create a Dao is the old way, by getting Laws at 100% and creating one through my combined comprehension and perhaps a lot of power and resources.

My kids are the only ones cheating at this!

I don't know but I don't think it would be right to somehow made myself pregnant of my own soul, and I think it won't work.

In fact, it won't do, Andromeda confirmed it to me before, she knows a lot about the details and rules of Skills, Abilities, and more.

Nonetheless, isn't a Path Jewel that gives Daos to any child I have super broken? Wouldn't my Path Jewels themselves be even higher than actual Daos in that regard? Maybe the Path Jewels themselves are my Dao?

Maybe I am imagining too many things or concepts, to be honest, things are not as complex as one always believes.

But… My Path Jewels are very complex and strange, I am still cracking them up, but I require further investigation and upgrading, and to that, I require Divine Points, and to that, I also require even more energy and power!

I am already considering spending my Primordial Essence to make Divine Points faster, but I will end up consuming a lot, which will lower my total stats.

Is it worth it if I can get the Realm Core upgrade done?

Maybe… But it doesn't hurt to wait, especially in my Divine Realm where the time goes so fast compared to the outside world.

[Day 352]

Although I might soon reach a year of age, that will not be the case in the real world, in there, not much time has gone by.

For now, I have decided to delay the Rank Up and accumulate more energy while devouring the pieces produced by my children, I can feel that in some more time, greater changes could occur…

I guess it is time for the legendary time skip that I've been avoiding this entire time!

Joking! Not yet, not yet, calm down there…

[Day 353]

Today was the day, Rank 7 here I go.

I flew into the wasteland that I always use, and without further delay, I unlocked the last door containing my power, making me overflow with new energies…

The power of ranking up was amazing, it made my entire body tremble in excitement.

Ding!

[Congratulations! You've reached Rank 7 of the Great Goddess Realm!]

[Defeat the Heavenly Tribulation to advance further!]

[Summoning Heavenly Tribulation…]

CLASH!

The space opened, as the new and disappointing tribulation greeted my sight.

However, this time it was more than just one!

What is this?

Just some days ago I ate a pile of bones from Null and now…

There is a pile of bones walking through the wasteland, they form into hundreds of beasts.

They seem quite strong, but even if they were an overpowered tribulation, my strength had grown to the level that even if the World's Will threw all sorts of crap at me, it wouldn't make a difference.

I quickly decided to employ my Dao Fragments and transformed into a Void Dracolich, using my new race as the blueprint…

BOOOM!

I fell over the army of skeleton monsters as an immense creature of several dozens of meters, my entire body was covered by bones, and my eyes gleamed with phantasmal blue flames…

"Let's see who dies last!" I laughed, as I began to release a breath attack of pure void charged with the Daos of Emptiness and Nothingness, disintegrating the creatures in front of me as their scream of agony quickly disappeared as they died instantly!

Made of bones or Undead? Didn't matter at all!

I also devoured most of them, as they all counted as a trial named "Bone Army of Death" of Death Attribute.

In the end, I ended packed with Death Attribute Particles, which is pretty nice.
