Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 280

After breaking through to the perfect number at the genetic level, the most obvious change is the teleportation of Zetton's clone, which can even have an effect at the level of the Lord of the Universe.

It's somewhat similar to the "domain" of the Demon Slayer Clan in the original work. When teleporting, it won't cause spatial fluctuations and can even break free from the suppression of domain-type or spacetime-type treasures.

The essence of teleportation is to merge with spatial fluctuations and follow them to reach another location. Once spatial fluctuations are locked, neither immortal gods nor cosmic lords can teleport.

However, for Zetton's clone, after using teleportation, it almost becomes the space itself, becoming a part of the space. It first merges into the space and then reappears, almost unaffected by any means of blocking it.

"If I could have broken through earlier, it would probably have been even more effective," Zetton's clone said with regret. If he had spent more time at the Cosmic Venerable stage, he probably could have evolved teleportation to this level earlier.

Even now, with his teleportation combined with the boots of the Dark Demon God Armor, even the most powerful treasures cannot suppress his movements; he can go wherever he wants.

"Teleportation is the ability of a supreme treasure to break free from its constraints, and its life-saving ability is no less than that of a palace treasure," Zetton's clone thought to himself.

The boost to teleportation is somewhat useful, but the boosts to a trillion-degree fireball, barriers, etc., are really not that useful, and are completely inferior to defensive treasures and self-created secret techniques.

Previously, Zetton's clone relied on his talent to make a living, but he never expected that one day even his talent would not be able to catch up with his aptitude.

"But there's still a chance!" Zetton's clone was full of confidence. As for the Universe Lord stage, he would probably need to settle down for a while.

……

Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, about 70,000 years had passed since Lu Yunhe arrived in the Cosmic Sea.

During this period, Lu Yunhe's main body was in the three forbidden zones of the Cosmic Sea, searching for opportunities while honing his skills.

Even in the most dangerous Qingfeng Realm, Lu Yunhe spent quite a bit of time.

After all, as long as one doesn't go to that dark place, the Peak Realm is just a deadly place, not a place of death.

Even with the Eternal Sky Ship by his side, Lu Yunhe would often find himself trapped for a considerable amount of time during his adventures, relying on the Eternal Cannon to slowly whittle away the dangerous areas.

During this time, some of the strongest beings in the universe who were not convinced of his abilities came to cause him trouble, but he forcefully drove them away.

The strongest beings in the Cosmic Sea are not particularly strong on average. There are not many who can exceed the upper limit of the immunity of the Wu Shi Wing Armor. Their strength does not exceed the eighth rank, so they cannot break through the defense at all.

Over time, the power of the Eternal Lord was finally recognized by all beings in the universe.

Everyone is curious about when the Eternal Lord will break through to become the strongest in the universe, whether he can challenge the first True Ancestor of the Divine Eye Clan, or even become the second Primordial Ancestor.

Lu Yunhe didn't care about external opinions; he was more focused on his own growth.

Unfortunately, upon reaching the realm of the Lord of the Universe, the near-immortal concept of time in Swallowing the Stars finally came into play.

With the Eternal Sky Ship's Time Chamber fully open, and accelerated by ten thousand times, over seventy thousand years means over seven hundred million years of cultivation time.

The Earth was only four billion years old in its previous life, which shows how long that period of time was.

Despite the passage of such a long time, Lu Yunhe's strength has hardly changed compared to tens of thousands of years ago.

His will remains stuck at the peak of the universe's strongest beings, unable to break through to the level of a true god of the void.

The secret technique is also stuck at the top level of the sixth tier, and even though there is a direction to move forward, there is no intention to advance any further.

Lu Yunhe had tried all sorts of methods, including desperate adventures and battles with powerful opponents, but none of them could help him break through his cultivation level.

This truly proves the saying that the existence of bottlenecks makes you realize that you are cultivating in a real world.

While Lu Yunhe's side made little progress, the genetic level of the Zetton clone on the other side steadily increased during this period, exceeding 20,000 times the genetic level.

According to the time concept of Swallowing the Stars, this speed is almost heaven-defying.

It's believed that it won't be long before Zetton's clone will be able to reach the bottleneck of the first level of the Divine Power Flow, the 30,000-fold genetic level.

If Zetton's clone can reach the first level of the Divine Power Flow, Lu Yunhe's talent will be further enhanced, making it easier for him to create a seventh-order secret technique.

If Lu Yunhe can reach the second level of the Divine Power Flow, the feedback talent will be enough to allow him to create an eighth-order secret technique with the help of his inheritance.

If he could reach the third level of the Divine Power Flow, even in the environment of the Cosmic Sea, Lu Yunhe would be able to spend a lot of time and rely on his own comprehension to comprehend the eighth-order secret technique.

If one can achieve a talent level 100,000 times that of genes, one can essentially reach the God-King level without any bottlenecks.

As for the Lord of the Universe creating an eighth-order secret technique, one can only say that he possesses the qualities of a god-king.

Further cultivation may encounter bottlenecks, or the talent bonus brought by the increase in realm may not be able to meet the predetermined requirements. Just like the Lord of the Universe may have the potential of a God-King, but after breaking through to the strongest, he may not reach the standard of a God-King.

Over these tens of thousands of years, Lu Yunhe himself has not changed much, and the changes within the primordial universe are even less noticeable.

In order to create his own secret technique, Luo Feng was still wandering in the universe, searching for the last layer of inspiration.

With the added advantage of having special life clones, Hong and Lei Shen's talents began to materialize at the World Lord level, and they successively broke through the World Lord level Primal Tongtian Mountain.

In the extraterrestrial battlefield, both of them, as realm lords, earned the title of king: one was known as the Divine Spear King, and the other as the Thunder King.

Because they couldn't wear the Calamity Armor series, their true forms could only be compared to those of a King-level Realm Lord, unlike Luo Feng in the original story who could kill a King-level Realm Lord as easily as killing a chicken.

As Hong and Thor's fame soared, many people had to admire the vision of the Lord of Ultra, whose three disciples were all geniuses who appeared only once in tens of millions of epochs.

In fact, given the three's aptitude, even the least gifted Thor essentially surpasses the criteria for geniuses in the original universe; he just needs to realize his potential in the later stages.

In addition, Earthlings began to join the five major human powers one after another, each demonstrating extraordinary talent, which led many powers to turn their attention to Earth.

However, the flow of information in the fantasy world is limited by the time concept of top experts and the various conflicts and discussions in between, so the time required for bottom-up transmission is not insignificant.

Conversely, if the arrangement is top-down, it is incredibly fast; under the will of the strong, everyone will cooperate swiftly.

Not to mention that the Lord of Ultra resides in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, so if Earth really has a problem, he will take over the reins and investigate himself, so there's no need for him to do so.

In fact, after his strength increased significantly, Lu Yunhe was no longer worried about Earth's secrets being exposed. However, since he wasn't worried, there was no need for him to use the loudspeaker to publicize Earth's secrets. Letting things take their natural course was sufficient.

Chapter 326 The Beginning of the Conspiracy

In a palace on the mountainside of Thunder Island in the virtual universe, three men with different expressions were drinking together. One was dressed in white with a resolute face, another was dressed in black with a friendly expression, and the last one had a shiny bald head. The three were Luo Feng, Hong, and Thor.

"Xiao Feng, at your current pace of travel, you're probably almost at the Prison Clan's territory, right?" Hong asked curiously.

"Yes, it'll be soon. I wonder what the environment is like on the Prison Clan's side?" Luo Feng chuckled.

Because of his perfect genes, his primordial core was forged to be incredibly hard, and even the first few ultimate techniques he created could not break it. Therefore, Luo Feng thought of traveling the universe to improve his cultivation level and seek enlightenment.

Unbeknownst to him, Luo Feng had been traveling through the universe for over 40,000 years, and the Demon Slayer Clan had visited the regions of many races, large and small.

During his travels, Luo Feng also experienced the wonders of the universe, and his spiritual realm soared. He was not far from creating the ultimate secret technique that could completely break through the original core.

"The Prison Clan, I've encountered them in the secret realms of the universe, they're a very peculiar race," Thor chuckled from the side.

"Xiaofeng, when exactly are you planning to break through to the Immortal God realm? Hong and I have already broken through and moved our palaces to the mountainside of Thunder Mountain. We're just waiting for you to move yours up too."

Because they lacked perfect genes, Hong and Thor were also temporarily blocked by their clones, but with their aptitude, they were able to break through after creating a powerful peak secret technique.

Especially after passing through the Primal-level Tongtian Mountain, there was no need for the two of them to remain at the Realm Lord level.

Therefore, they all chose to break through directly, and with the strength of their clones, they all achieved feats comparable to those of the Universe Venerables among the Immortal Gods. Their strength was recognized by the Universe Venerables, so they moved their palaces to the mountainside of Thunder Island.

“I think he’s probably not far from reaching Xiaofeng’s level of spiritual attainment.” Hong shook her head slightly.

"When Xiaofeng breaks through, his strength will probably surpass that of the two of us."

Both of them had clones, so they naturally understood that the higher the genetic level of the clone, the greater the difficulty in breaking through.

Given Luo Feng's aptitude, the fact that he was stuck at the World Lord level for hundreds of years suggests that the genetic level of his clones is terrifyingly high.

"No matter what, Hong and I are ahead now," Thor said smugly.

"Then you two brothers should hurry up and cultivate, lest I outdo you again." Luo Feng didn't care and picked up the wine glass on the table to take a sip.

During his travels through the universe, Luo Feng almost forgot about the matter of breaking through his cultivation level, completely immersed in the vastness and boundlessness of the universe.

In fact, as early as ten thousand years ago, Luo Feng was already able to create the ultimate secret technique to break through the original core because of his cultivation of the Secret Pattern Diagram.

However, compared to easily breaking through bottlenecks, Luo Feng values ​​the progress of his mental will more, and therefore he is still traveling.

"I wonder what level my master's cultivation has reached after tens of thousands of years?" Luo Feng sighed.

With Lu Yunhe's brilliant performance preceding them, the three who had always been praised as geniuses by the outside world felt no sense of genius at all.

……

The vast cosmic ocean stretches to the horizon, its end unseen by any superhuman being. Within this ocean, endless chaotic currents flow, and within these boundless chaos, the primordial universe is the largest known celestial body!

Besides the primordial universe, there are other smaller universes, but all of them combined are less than one billionth the volume of the primordial universe, like an endless ocean and a drop of water!

A hundred billion light-years away from the original universe, in the endless chaotic currents, lies a small universe.

In a small universe.

“I have a bad feeling. Recently, geniuses have been emerging one after another in the Cosmic Sea. Perhaps the origin of the primordial universe has also sensed the crisis and made some moves in advance.” A reptile covered with brown rocks, resembling a towering mountain range, spoke in a deep, rumbling voice.

In mid-air, there was a colossal phantom of a lightning giant. On its chest was a sphere of lightning, resembling a star and radiating endless lightning. The lightning giant roared:

“I think so too. In the early stages of this cycle of reincarnation, there were already extraordinary figures like the Primordial Ancestor. If a few more were to appear, it would probably have an impact on the Master and the others.”

“That’s right. We are well aware of the greatness of the primordial universe. No one knows how the original will will respond, but we must do our best to help our masters achieve victory.” A towering being, whose body seemed to be forged from steel, spoke up. His eyes were like two burning fireballs, which were probably more terrifying than billions of stars.

"This cosmic era is our last chance. If we fail to seize even this last chance, the three of us... will surely perish! Without us, our race will be forever wiped out."

Silence... The three remained silent for a long time.

"For our master and for our race, we need to act quickly. The beings of the first and second cycles pose no threat whatsoever. The only ones who truly endanger our master are the geniuses of this cycle," said the creature whose body resembled steel.

Having existed for the first two cycles, their potential has been largely exhausted. Having an extra cycle or half a cycle would be of little significance, and their strength would not undergo any fundamental change.

Only beings born within the primordial universe possess endless possibilities. For example, the Eternal Lord, who is comparable to the strongest at the level of the Lord of the Universe, is even more heaven-defying than the Primordial Ancestor who once intimidated the cosmic sea.

Who knows how powerful the Eternal Lord will become after countless epochs? At least the three of them couldn't predict it.

"Then let's act ahead of schedule and see if we can lure another group of people to our master. Ideally, we should get the strongest being in the universe to come," the Thunder Giant said slowly.

"It doesn't matter. Even if there are only a few universe lords, if they are controlled and utilized, they can still take down the strongest members of their race." The being of the brown rock climbing mountain range chuckled in a low voice.

Once those strongest beings in the universe are dealt with, no one will have the chance to rebel against their master again.

“I have a soul servant named Lord Yuan Ao, who is an existence from the primordial universe,” said the steel being.

“I possess a wondrous divine tree. As soon as it appears in the primordial universe, all the strongest beings can sense it,” said the lightning giant.

“Alright, I have a map of the threads left behind by Xuan Yuan. I just need to modify some information on it,” said the brown mountain-like being.

"So, this plan has been set up. With such thorough preparations and significant sacrifices, I'm confident we'll succeed in one fell swoop."

"For eternity, for the sake of our race, we must succeed," the Thunder Giant said slowly.

"For eternity, for the tribe." The brown rock crawling mountain range also said slowly.

"For eternity, for our race," the steel being said slowly.
