Solanky carefully received the seven-colored orb and began examining it. After observing it for some time, he discovered that the seven-colored lights within the world core represented the level of cultivation of the being.
The serpentine woman's world core contained little to no color, meaning that her cultivation was barely powerful enough to influence the structure and appearance of the core itself. When Solanky carefully studied Behan's world core, however, he immediately noticed that the power contained within it was seven times more potent and purer than that of the serpentine woman.
At first glance, the world core resembled an infinite source, with at least three million galaxies visible across its surface. But upon closer inspection, Solanky discovered that it was actually an enormous space containing countless lower and higher realms.
Based on Solanky's knowledge, the lower realms contained trillions of physical source worlds and infinite source spaces, while the higher realms consisted of spiritual planes and energies that supported and connected these worlds.
Yet the seven colored lights served as divisions, layering the world core into seven completely different realms.
This discovery greatly astonished Solanky.
The creation of every realm represented the complete mastery of the multiversal laws belonging to Behan himself. This was precisely why Behan could kill any being at his level or below with ease. His mastery of laws and concepts had reached an extraordinary level. Even beings above his cultivation realm respected his control over laws and concepts.
Solanky spent three million years within the miniature world treasure while only thirty years passed in the outside world.
After those long years of study, Solanky finally unraveled the secrets of the first three colors: red, green, and blue.
These three colors represented concepts similar to hell, earth, and heaven, although their meanings differed depending on the perception of the being observing them.
To someone like Solanky, hell represented a place filled with baleful and negative energies, where a being would fall after failing to fulfill the purpose and destiny they had carved for their own life.
Earth represented neutrality. It was the starting point from which every being could either make or unmake themselves.
Heaven represented the state of achieving one's mission while contributing to the improvement of others without harboring any ill intent, allowing oneself to exist within boundless, pure energies.
If another being were to observe the seven realms, however, their interpretation of heaven, earth, and hell would undoubtedly be different.
Solanky felt as though his comprehension of laws and concepts had been elevated to an entirely new level. His understanding was now comparable to that of a third-turn being.
Although his spiritual body and essences were still at the second-turn, his comprehension had reached a level where he could create powerful techniques capable of killing a first-turn true peak-turn being.
With the advantage of an entire level of power and understanding, he could destroy the body of a first-turn being.
However, killing its other hidden bodies was still impossible.
That would require at least a two-level gap in power.
Solanky then turned his attention toward deducing the secrets of the third-turn corpse.
After unraveling the mysteries of the higher world core, understanding the corpse's secrets became surprisingly smooth.
Within the corpse of the third-turn ancestor were lifeless galaxies and several strange artifacts, including the weapons he had been refining. Although those weapons were extremely valuable, they were of little use to Solanky.
He soon shifted his attention toward the life structure of the true peak-turn being.
Solanky noticed something strange.
There was no trace of blood within the corpse's veins.
He quickly understood why.
True peak-turn beings did not possess blood in the conventional sense. Instead, their bodies were filled with essences. These essences originated from the energies contained within their internal worlds as well as the worlds and realms existing beyond their bodies.
Solanky quickly realized that regardless of the lifeform, the baseline transformation required to become a true peak-turn being was the transformation of one's entire existence into a living cosmos.
The higher the turn, the purer and more abundant the essences became, although this also depended on the lifeform itself.
At the true peak-turns level, mastery of laws and concepts alone was no longer enough to determine dominance.
A lower lifeform possessed fewer energies and essences that could sustain its existence, while a higher lifeform could possess multiples of those same energies and essences.
Solanky continued analyzing the corpse.
If a being transformed into a true peak-turn being by undergoing the process within another established peak-turn being, the amount of energy they could absorb would be limited. As a result, their understanding of the mysteries would remain incomplete.
However, those who underwent the transformation through the peak summits trials possessed vast quantities of energies and essences at their disposal. These resources allowed them to transform their entire existence more completely, while giving them a much clearer and more comprehensive understanding of the mysteries involved.
For immortal god lifeforms like the serpentine woman and most of the ancestors within the Beyond Realm, the transformation was primarily geared toward their understanding and manifestation of conceptual laws.
At the same time, their essences and energies became denser and richer as they transformed infinite source energy into peak life energies.
These peak life energies were at least equivalent to the energies and essences contained within five trillion Infinite Source Gods.
Every being entering the first turn entered the first peak-life stage of that level.
Each turn of the true peak-turns realm contained three stages of peak life.
The first was the first peak-life.
The second was the mid peak-life.
The third was the late peak-life.
This meant that not all first-turn beings were equal.
There could be an enormous difference between a first peak-life first-turn being and a late peak-life first-turn being.
At the true peak-turns level, the suppression placed upon a lifeform's power and abilities by the realm or world they inhabited was lifted. They could finally exert their actual strength and unleash their abilities without being restrained by the surrounding environment.
This was precisely why calamitous lifeforms were considered so terrifying at the same level.
A calamitous lifeform could possess several times the strength of its peers despite being at the same cultivation level.
Most true peak-turn beings also had their laws and concepts engraved directly into the fabric of their existence.
The higher the lifeform, the more laws and concepts its body could accommodate.
Therefore, killing a true peak-turn being was not simply a matter of destroying its physical body.
The laws and concepts engraved within its very existence also had to be erased.
Only beings several levels above the target could accomplish such a feat with certainty.
Solanky then sent his spiritual sense into the head of the corpse.
Inside, he discovered its consciousness world.
It resembled a vast starfield, but the entire consciousness world had been shattered and destroyed. Several black holes continuously absorbed the remnants of the consciousness world, preventing the fragments from gathering together.
Solanky quickly understood that these black holes had been created through Behan's technique and power.
Their purpose was to prevent the consciousness from gathering and allowing the deceased being to respawn.
Within the shattered consciousness world, Solanky discovered three severely damaged statues.
They looked exactly like the corpse itself, yet they contained no information or aura.
Solanky immediately understood their significance.
From his encounters with the Forsaken God, Bragon, and Supremo, he already knew that these statues represented the most important knowledge and inheritances of a true peak-turn being.
They contained the major techniques that had allowed those beings to transform themselves and step into their respective turns.
They were extremely important.
After learning the secrets of the corpse and acquiring a basic understanding of the true peak-turns realm, Solanky finally felt confident enough to control the corpse and use it as a puppet.
The information he had obtained was still extremely basic.
The rest was something he would have to personally experience after breaking through to the ancestor level himself.
Solanky extended invisible spiritual strings, mixing them with his Harmonious Strings technique.
The moment the strings wrapped around the world cores of the corpse, the scattered chaotic energies throughout its body began gathering.
Under Solanky's control, the world cores served as guides, directing the chaotic energies throughout the corpse and distributing them evenly across its enormous body.
Solanky had successfully taken control of the corpse.
Although it was originally a third-turn being, its current combat power had fallen to the second-turn because it lacked consciousness capable of fully controlling its immense power.
Solanky then formed several seals with his hands before pointing toward the corpse, which had now become his puppet.
A glowing light covered in countless seals and engravings appeared before entering the space between the corpse's eyebrows.
The light was a sliver of Solanky's consciousness and spiritual power.
It entered the shattered consciousness space within the corpse.
The seals Solanky had formed were the result of his findings and experiments after studying the miniature world treasure. The moment they entered the shattered consciousness space, they began repairing and purifying it.
The seals were also imbued with the source-defying flames.
Time continued to pass.
After another hundred years within the miniature world, Solanky finally succeeded.
The corpse's consciousness space had been repaired enough for him to establish a stable connection with it.
His will had been refined and integrated into the newly repaired consciousness space.
From that moment onward, Solanky could remotely control the corpse and make it act on his behalf.
