Devouring Star Overlord

On the battlefield.

Li Ze's life force gradually weakened, and his will became extremely exhausted.

To know.

Currently, the primordial energy within Li Ze's body is constantly burning and surging, releasing massive amounts of energy to repair his injuries.

However, the speed at which the injuries appeared exceeded the speed at which he could recover using his source power.

"Phew, my current strength is still far behind that of the Infinite Serpent. Without the Chaos Bell, I can't withstand its attacks at all."

After exchanging tens of thousands of blows in an instant, Li Ze was completely cornered.

"However, under the pressure of the Infinite Serpent's attack, the speed of my physical transformation suddenly increased countless times. Perfect, I can use this to complete my physical breakthrough," Li Ze thought to himself.

Originally, although the genetic structure in Li Ze's physical body had been restructured, it would still take some time before he could completely break through to the Lord level.

However, under the pressure of the Infinite Serpent in this battle, Li Ze discovered that his physical body, through repeated severe injuries and subsequent repairs by the power of the universe's origin within him, was undergoing a breakthrough and transformation at a rate more than ten thousand times faster.

This is also why he sent a message to Yuan earlier, asking the lords of the cultivator camp not to rush to his aid.

Wow!
The Infinite Serpent's tail swayed, and another terrifying black light, carrying endless mystery, struck down once more.

"Block!" Li Ze swung the Heavenly Calamity Sword, but was directly blasted away by the attack. The aftershocks of the sword light impacted his body, causing his life force to rapidly decline.

"Li Ze, those lords in the cultivator camp can't save you." The Infinite Serpent's voice was indifferent: "In this battle, you will surely perish!"

Wow!
Li Ze's eyes were cold as he responded to the Infinite Serpent's words with only a sword light. What followed was an even more terrifying attack from the opponent.

far away.

“Li Ze is no match for the Infinite Serpent. If this continues, he’s doomed. We need to be prepared to seize the opportunity he has.”

"I was born into the Chaotic Origin Life Force, and I can finally eliminate this great threat."

"Senior Yuan, shouldn't we make a move?" Outside the battlefield in the distance, powerful figures from different factions were exchanging words.

The power displayed by the Infinite Serpent at this moment is beyond doubt. Li Ze is no match for it at all. In the eyes of all of them, Li Ze is in danger of dying at any time.

"Keep waiting."

Yuan shook his head slightly, stopping the lords of the cultivator camp who wanted to make a move: "Li Ze did not ask for help, which proves that he has not reached the end of his life."

"I believe in him, I'm sure he can achieve a breakthrough!"

As Yuan spoke, his eyes remained fixed on the battlefield.

time flies.

Despite being at a significant disadvantage, Li Ze's battle with Infinite Orochi continued unabated, exceeding the expectations of all the powerful figures.

Li Ze, whom they thought could fall at any moment, persevered for an unimaginable duration.

The Infinite Serpent swung its tail again and again, attacking repeatedly, causing Li Ze's body to be constantly injured and depleted.

but.

Miraculously, he persevered time and time again, his life force weakening and then recovering, only to weaken again, never completely dissipating.

"how is this possible?"

“Every instant, the Infinite Serpent unleashes thousands of attacks, which must have added up to hundreds of billions of times by now, yet it still hasn’t killed Li Ze?”

"Just how much energy does he possess?"

"Incredible, his ability to survive far exceeded our expectations."

"Could it be that he can hold out in this battle on his own?" Apart from the lords in the cultivator camp who knew that Li Ze was following the path of the inner universe, the many lords of the innate chaotic life camp and the strange life camp were all staring at Li Ze on the battlefield in astonishment.

"Hold on, you're almost there!"

"As long as my physical body can break through, no powerful being in the Infinite Chaos Space will be able to kill me." Li Ze gritted his teeth, desperately trying to hold on: "The attack frequency of this Infinite Serpent has also decreased a lot compared to the beginning. It can't kill me!"

obviously.

The repeated unleashing of attacks by Infinite Orochi is also a huge burden for him.

At this moment, although countless tiny cracks were appearing and repairing all over Li Ze's body, it was as if he was about to shatter at any moment.

However, supported by the profound primal power of the universe within his body, he has not yet shown any signs of being unable to hold on.

Even the boundless vitality generated within Li Ze's body due to his increased physical strength, which he deliberately concealed, was not revealed.

How could he hold on for so long?

“Even when fighting against cultivators who control an entire Origin World, those powerful individuals, relying on the regenerative abilities of the Origin World's origin, couldn't reach this level.” At this moment, the Infinite Serpent, which was constantly attacking Li Ze, was also slightly surprised.

He already thought highly of Li Ze.

He anticipated that using his hidden methods would be enough to kill Li Ze.

But now, the opponent has withstood hundreds of millions of his attacks and is still able to hold on.

He even had a vague sense of unease in his heart.

"Phew~ It must be my imagination. It's already extremely difficult for a little guy who hasn't even broken through to the Lord level to have lasted this long. How could something have gone wrong?" Many thoughts flashed through the mind of the Infinite Serpent: "Activating this 'Infinite Divine Armor' is also a burden for me. The power of the Primordial Bloodline is being consumed in a lot. No, even if it costs me some money, I must kill him completely in this battle!"

"kill!"

"Kill him, this is a rare opportunity."

Feeling uneasy, Infinite Orochi became even more resolute in his attack.

A bloody battle between two unparalleled powerhouses.

One wants to achieve a breakthrough!

One wants to completely kill the other.

"Kill!" "Kill!"

Li Ze's swordsmanship power even continued to increase slowly during the battle.

Even though the improvement was slow, it was still progressing. The gains from this battle were greater than those from his trillions of years of secluded cultivation.

In addition, his physical strength has gradually reached its limit.

"It's almost here, almost here," Li Ze thought to himself. "Every gene in my body is infused with the mysteries of the Dao, so I'm destined to break through."

The path of cultivation using the Gene Source Diagram has been completed; a breakthrough in the physical body is just ahead.

But this process is slow. Therefore.

Although Li Ze's physical strength was constantly improving, it had not yet undergone a qualitative change!
On the other side, the attacks from Infinite Orochi grew increasingly terrifying.

that's it.

The battle between the two sides continued for some time.

During this period, many other Hunyuan lords and world-class Hunyuan from various factions appeared around this battlefield.

At this moment, the life force emanating from Li Ze's body had withered to the extreme, and countless shocking cracks, like a spider web, covered the surface of his body, which was extremely terrifying.

"Is the life force in his body finally coming to an end?"

"Phew~ A little guy who has only been cultivating for a short time can actually withstand such an attack for so long. He has a lot to be proud of. His legend will be passed down in the Hunyuan Space for countless years to come."

"He's finally going to fall, everyone, prepare to make your move." Sensing that Li Ze's aura had reached its 'limit,' the surrounding experts were either filled with emotion or excitement.
"Finally, it's almost over."

Although the aura of the Infinite Serpent had changed slightly, it still remained at its peak: "Li Ze, your strength is the strongest among all the opponents below the lord level that I have ever encountered."

He admired Li Ze very much.

The greatest respect you can show to your opponent is to kill them!
Just when he wanted to push harder and kill his opponent completely...

suddenly.

"Heh." Li Ze's laughter echoed in the endless void: "Infinite Orochi, you think you've got me cornered?"

"I should thank you. Without you, how could I have achieved this breakthrough so quickly!"

"Hmm?" Li Ze's words caused the Infinite Orochi's expression to change drastically.

Outside the battlefield, many powerful figures were equally astonished upon hearing Li Ze's laughter.

"Really? Li Ze said he's achieved a breakthrough? A breakthrough in what?"

"Hiss, he was already this strong before, could he be about to break through to the Lord level directly?"

"How is that possible? In the endless eras of the Hunyuan Space, there has never been a single strong person who broke through to the Hunyuan Lord level in battle!"

"Could he be bluffing?"

"Probably not. What's the use of bluffing at this point?" The powerful figures from various factions around them discussed among themselves.

And just as they were discussing it...

On the battlefield.

"Hmph, bluff! I don't believe you can break through to the Chaos Lord level!" The Infinite Serpent exuded a chilling killing intent as it coldly sneered, "Even if you try to break through, this time, I will kill you!"

The Infinite Serpent was only shocked by Li Ze's laughter for a moment before regaining its composure. Like the other powerful figures around him, it was also unbelievable that Li Ze could break through to the Hunyuan Lord level in battle.

"kill!"

With a roar, the Infinite Serpent launched another attack on Li Ze. In this attack, it burned even more of its Hunyuan bloodline power, making the attack even more terrifying.

"Oh!"

His powerful attack struck Li Ze again, but this time, Li Ze was not knocked away by his attack.

Even to his astonishment, the cracks on Li Ze's body disappeared in an instant.

then.

Rumble~
An endless surge of life force erupted from Li Ze's body, far exceeding the previous aura by a hundredfold, spreading outwards into the boundless void.
Mixed within this boundless life force were streams of Daoist principles, each clear and profoundly mysterious.
now.

Li Ze's physical body is like the source of all the myriad paths in the heavens!

The Infinite Serpent was stunned by the astonishing aura that suddenly erupted from Li Ze, and even stopped its attack.

"A lord-level physical body?" the Infinite Serpent exclaimed in surprise. "And the charm contained within these myriad paths—is it the path contained within the Gene Source Diagram?"

"How is that possible? How could he possibly have succeeded on that path?"

At this moment, not only was the Infinite Serpent stunned by Li Ze's sudden burst of life force, but many powerful figures watching the battle from around the battlefield were also stunned by the incredibly strong life force emanating from Li Ze.

"He...he's broken through to the Lord level through physical transformation?" A Lord-level expert instantly realized everything and exclaimed in surprise.
“I sensed the aura of ten thousand paths on him. How is that possible? Even if he is a prodigy, how long has he been cultivating? How could he comprehend so many paths, even if they are not very profound, and some are only superficial? It is still impossible.”

"I studied the path of cultivation using the Gene Source Diagram for so long, and countless talented young people perished because of it, yet none of them succeeded. How could he possibly succeed?"

At this moment, the powerful figures surrounding him were all at the very pinnacle of the Infinite Chaos Space. They were familiar with the cultivation path contained within the Gene Dao Source Diagram, and naturally, they immediately sensed the reason for Li Ze's physical breakthrough.
Even though they sensed it, they still found it unbelievable that Li Ze could achieve a breakthrough through this path.

Unlike the powerful figures from other factions, the lords of the cultivator faction, as well as some world-class Hunyuan experts who arrived later, all had smiles on their faces the moment Li Ze unleashed his astonishing life force.

"Hahaha, Li Ze's physical body has broken through to the Lord level. It's impossible for the Infinite Serpent to kill him now!" Wu Da laughed. "Although he hasn't truly broken through to the Lord level, Li Ze is now almost no different from a Lord."

"Ah."

Mu Tuo nodded with a smile, "Our cultivator camp has produced another peak expert who will dominate the infinite Chaos Space!"

"These guys want the opportunity on Li Ze? Heh, now that we don't make a move, they can't kill Li Ze either!" Ku Xing laughed.

"This battle is over!" Yuan Ye concluded with a faint smile.
at this time.

On the battlefield, Li Ze was also experiencing everything within his physical body after completing the breakthrough.

First of all.

The biggest change from breaking through to the Lord level in terms of physical body is the increase in the power contained within the body.

If the power contained in his physical body before his breakthrough was '1', then now, the power contained in his physical body has increased by at least ten thousand times.

In his perception, now that he is wielding the Heavenly Calamity Sword again, even without the aid of the Dao he has comprehended or the enhancement of the universe within his body, he can unleash an attack that surpasses the one he just had, relying solely on the power within his physical body.

Once he unleashes his full power, even if he can't completely withstand Infinite Orochi's attacks, it will be difficult for him to be injured by them.
Secondly, there is his powerful ability to protect himself at this moment.

Because his physical body broke through to the Lord level through the Gene Source Diagram, it contained countless kinds of Dao rhymes within it. Every move he made carried endless Dao rhyme fluctuations. These Dao rhyme fluctuations not only made his attacks stronger, but also greatly improved his defense, speed, and survival ability.

Especially his ability to survive; in his perception, even if his physical body were completely annihilated by the opponent, he could fully recover with just a wisp of remaining Daoist energy.

After roughly sensing the changes in his physical body after the breakthrough, Li Ze looked at the Infinite Serpent again.

"Infinite Orochi, you've been suppressing me for so long. Now that I've broken through, please experience my strength!" Li Ze chuckled.

next moment

Wow~
With a swing of the Heavenly Sword, an incomparably dazzling sword light emanated from Li Ze's hand.

This sword light, seemingly real yet illusory, as if it didn't exist in this dimension of space and time, yet it exuded an incomparably powerful aura, suppressing the entire space-time, causing even the Infinite Serpent and many powerful onlookers to tremble. (End of Chapter)
