Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger

Relying solely on one's own practice to comprehend the origin of cause and effect, the speed of comprehension is extremely slow.

Take Luo Shen as an example. Because he possessed the body of the original universe and was the king of world beasts, he was able to comprehend the origin of life and the origin of destruction at the same time, and it was a complete origin. But even so, it still takes hundreds of epochs to comprehend a complete branch.

For someone like the Great Sage Wusha, it is not easy to cultivate to the peak level of the Lord of Chaos relying solely on his own perception without the blessing of treasures like the Hunyuan Spirit Crystal.

Let alone higher levels.

"So this Great Sage Wusha used the cause and effect of all living beings to speed up his cultivation for his own selfish reasons, trying to comprehend the origin of cause and effect."

But the law of cause and effect is that you have to borrow and repay. If you just borrow and don’t repay, you will naturally owe cause and effect. One or two would be fine, and the Great Sage Wusha could easily repay them. But in order to speed up his cultivation, the number of people that the Great Sage Wusha borrowed from is more than trillions!

Even the Lord of Chaos cannot bear such a terrible entanglement of cause and effect.

"In order to prevent the entanglement of cause and effect from becoming too deep and affecting himself, this Great Sage Wusha brought down a catastrophe of cause and effect, causing all the practitioners in a city to be exterminated in order to completely eliminate the cause and effect."

Luo Shen shook his head secretly.

For a Chaos Overlord at the peak level, it is not easy to completely kill them, but for those practitioners who have not even reached the level of Chaos Overlord, a Chaos Overlord can easily kill them completely, and this is also the simplest and most direct way to eliminate cause and effect.

"If it weren't for the fact that the Great Sage Wusha had been in this area all this time and had never attacked practitioners from other territories, I'm afraid he would have been targeted long ago."

of course.

The strong ones who practice the law of cause and effect have strong ability to protect their lives and are difficult to kill. The main reason is that they are worried about bringing a powerful enemy upon themselves.

Just like when Luo Shen first revealed the Chaos Lord's transcendental means, the cause-and-effect escape technique performed by Chu Luohou's guest official was so powerful that even his silver-blue prison cage couldn't restrain him. It was definitely a top-notch life-saving secret technique.

"However, now that I am here, the Great Sage Wusha who caused all these sins will not live long!"

With Luo Shen's means, he could easily roam above the cities and no practitioner could discover him at all.

And the countless practitioners in those cities were all in constant fear for the existence of causal catastrophes. After all, every time a causal catastrophe broke out, a large number of practitioners in the city would perish. Almost every city had experienced such a terrible mass extinction.

"This Great Sage Wusha is hiding really well!"

Passing by a city again, Luo Shen still did not sense the presence of the Great Sage of Wusha, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

As the ruler of this territory and a person who practices the great way of the origin of cause and effect, the Great Sage Wusha hides his tracks very well. In order to practice better, the Great Sage Wusha directly integrates into these cities, transforms himself into an ordinary person, and communicates with other practitioners.

Because only in this way can he more clearly perceive the changes in the great way of the origin of cause and effect.

However, no matter how well the Great Sage Wusha hid, there would be a day when he would be discovered, because there were only a hundred cities in this territory. If Luo Shen did not intend to alert the enemy, with his speed, one day would be enough for him to go back and forth.

“So it’s here.”

When Luo Shen was about to reach one of the remaining seven unexplored cities in this area, Luo Shen finally sensed a strange breath of the Lord of Chaos.

A closer look.

It turned out that he was a small itinerant vendor living in the city.

"A great hermit hides in the city, the ancients were right." Luo Shen's mouth curled up into a smile: "Who would have thought that the source of the endless catastrophe in this territory, the dignified Great Sage Wusha, would be willing to be a wandering small vendor and be chased by the gang practitioners in the city!"

Before being swept away by Luo Shen's divine power, the Great Sage of Wusha was still well disguised and enthusiastically greeted the old friend next to him.

But the Great Sage Wusha's expression suddenly changed.

He raised his head suddenly, looked into the void, and met a pair of bright eyes.

What a pair of eyes they were, as bright as the endless and majestic stars. Everything around them became blurred, the tall city walls, the surrounding buildings, and those familiar old friends all disappeared, leaving only the endless and majestic stars rolling towards him.

"Do not--"

The Great Sage Wusha suddenly woke up. He already knew that he had fallen into the secret spell of the will of a powerful person: "Wake up, I want to wake up!"

He tried to use his back hand.

As a practitioner of the Great Dao of the Origin of Cause and Effect, Wusha Dasheng has many means of preserving his life, such as the Art of Escape from Cause and Effect, the Art of Reincarnation, the Art of Elimination of Cause and Effect, the Art of Cutting of Cause and Effect, etc., which are all means that can give him a chance to make a comeback.

However, in the face of Luo Shen's methods, all his methods were ineffective!
Since he had chosen to take action, Luo Shen would never allow the source of evil to have any chance of survival. He directly started with the Lie Yuan Technique, completely cutting off the opponent's way of life, leaving the Great Sage Wusha no possibility of escape.

In the desperate gaze of the Great Sage Wusha.

The mighty and majestic stars rolled in, like a praying mantis trying to stop the wheels, and was eventually crushed to pieces!

From the level of will and soul, this Great Sage of Wusha completely disappeared!

The moment Luo Shen withdrew the Lie Yuan Technique, everything around him returned to normal. The vendor who was pushing his stall and greeting acquaintances with a warm smile on his face the previous second became lifeless in his eyes and fell to the ground the next second, causing the surrounding practitioners to exclaim.

What all the practitioners in this territory did not know was that the moment the Great Sage Wusha fell to the ground, the calamity of cause and effect that had previously shrouded the entire territory suddenly dissipated!
From now on, they will no longer be in danger of karmic calamity!
As for who will take over this territory after the death of the actual ruler, Wusha Dasheng, it has nothing to do with Luo Shen, because after collecting the body of Wusha Dasheng, he quietly left the area.

It is said that when the work is done, one should leave, hiding one's achievements and fame.

The complete death of the Great Sage Wusha did not cause much waves on the Origin Continent.

After all, it is normal for the Chaos Lords to kill each other and their true bodies to be destroyed. Moreover, the Great Sage Wusha is different from the Chaos Lord who fell before. The other party has been hiding in his own territory for many years to practice his own law of cause and effect and has not had much contact with the outside world.

If it weren't for his utter demise, which completely wiped out even the cause and effect, coupled with the successive demise of two top-level Chaos Lords, I'm afraid no one would care about him at all.

Some people speculated that maybe a powerful god thought that they had committed too many sins, so he took action to kill them and clean up the filth!
Some people also think that both incidents were just accidents.

After all, the main activities of these two are within their own territories. Although they have caused many evil things, they are too insignificant compared to other Chaos Lords who have truly committed many evil things. How could it be possible that a God King would specifically target them?

After all, being able to completely kill a top-level Chaos Lord is something that an ordinary God King of the first level cannot do. Only a more powerful God King can do it.

How could a strong person of that level deliberately hide his identity? The latter's view was also recognized by many strong people.

The strong all have to maintain their dignity. If they really want to kill someone, why would they do it secretly? Of course they would do it openly.

With the strength and status of those top gods, there is no need for them to act in this way.

However, the speculations of other practitioners on the Origin Continent did not spread too widely, because there were not many Chaos Lords of Death, and the noise would be too loud.

Those ambitious people who were fiddling around behind the scenes and trying to stir up conflicts finally gave up when they saw that no one responded.

But they did not give up, they just hid themselves. If such a situation happens again in the future, they will come back again.

Having completed the bounty mission, Luo Shen was not in a hurry to return to the ancient country of Yanfeng.

He first went to Lingguan City to take a look at the ancestor who was still in the secret realm. It was a pity that there had been no movement in the secret realm until now. He didn't know when the other party would come out, nor did he know what the situation would be like after he came out.

After going to Lingguan City, Luo Shen began to hide his identity as the Lord of Chaos and traveled outside as the Eternal True God.

It was called traveling, but in fact Luo Shen was observing the flowers, plants and trees, and comprehending the true meaning of the origin of life. After all, not only the perfect chaos layer creatures possess the mysteries of the origin of life, but ordinary life as well.

We also encountered several attacks from strange beasts along the way.

Although the Eternal True God is considered a pretty strong man on the Origin Continent, and can be promoted to a general or even a high-ranking official in a normal Eternal Kingdom, there are many Chaos Overlord-level beasts in the Ancient Kingdom of Yanfeng. It would be strange if an Eternal True God traveling alone did not attract attention.

However, those strange beasts only had the strength of the Eternal True God level. Faced with Luo Shen who was hiding his strength, they eventually became Luo Shen's food on the road.

During his travels, in addition to the Great Dao of the Origin of Life, Luo Shen was also pondering the first volume of the Twelve Styles of Heaven-Slashing, hoping to promote the improvement of the Great Dao of the Origin of Life by studying the Great Dao of the Origin of Destruction, but unfortunately, he failed in the end.

Destruction and life, these two avenues have very little in common. If you want to rely on studying the avenue of the origin of destruction to draw inferences from it to the avenue of the origin of life, it cannot be said to be ineffective, but it can only be said to be almost useless.

Fortunately, Luo Shen also found a good scroll from the inheritor space of the Ladder to Heaven, which also has a good effect on studying the origin of life.

"Beast Shadow"!
No one knew which inheritor put this scroll in there. When Luo Shen first found it, he thought it was a method of cultivation for a strange beast. However, as Luo Shen continued his research, he discovered that this thing actually had a good effect on comprehending the origin of life.

It was an extremely huge monster.

Luo Shen felt that its body was no less than that of the primitive universe. It was completely red, surrounded by burning flames, and behind it were twelve pairs of huge wings. Its four hooves were similar to those of the golden-horned beast and were like pillars of heaven. Just standing there made one feel like a pillar supporting the sky.

A single eye, like the endless majestic planets when performing the Le Yuan Technique, was looking at Luo Shen coldly.

Luo Shen really felt like it was staring at him.

Even through the scroll, Luo Shen could feel its vast aura. The hot breath gushed out from its huge nostrils and turned into flames, as if it could completely burn the void.

The strange beast in the scroll was bound by chains of void.

So even though he felt the other person's eyes were staring at him, the ferocious face and the fierce murderous intent did not make Luo Shen retreat.

Luo Shen studied it bit by bit, observing the traces on its body. Even a piece of scale was filled with the story of its growth. It rose from obscurity and grew little by little into this majestic giant. If it were any other strong man, he would only be able to see its growth and feel the perseverance of this super beast.

But Luo Shen saw the evolution of the origin of life from him!

That was the route he was going to take next!

“I never thought there would be such a means to preserve the image of such a terrifying beast for future generations to see.”

Although it was just an image, for an ordinary person, just one glance at it would be enough to shock his soul and make his will disappear and die. But Luo Shen was different. His will had already reached the third level of the God King. Although the image of the strange beast was terrifying, it could not make Luo Shen retreat.

Luo Shen experienced and observed carefully.

"Only if you have an immortal heart can you survive endless disasters!"

From the image of this strange beast, Luo Shen's understanding of the immortal heart branch of the origin of life has become deeper: "Only by abandoning everything, even one's own life, can one achieve nirvana and transformation again and again, and only then can one possess the true immortal heart!"

Before, among the six branches of Luo Shen on the Avenue of the Origin of Life, only the Life Spirituality had nearly reached the level of the God King. But now, after observing the images, his comprehension on the branch of the Immortal Heart had advanced by leaps and bounds, and was already on par with the branch of the Life Spirituality.

The interpretation of the image remains unchanged for thousands of years.

The strange beast, which could make Luo Shen tremble with just a glare, was easily captured by a powerful being of unknown level and thrown into a prison world. The chains that stretched out from the void were the suppression of the prison world on it.

The reason why the strange beast in the image always kept its eyes fixed on Luo Shen was because it could indeed see Luo Shen through the scroll.

Or rather.

Anyone who uses the scroll can trigger the other party's remaining consciousness and breath in the scroll, allowing his real body to see the person who is watching it. It cannot find the person who captured it, but it knows that the person who can see this scroll must be related to the person who captured it.

It is recording a list of enemies.

Just a pity.

Luo Shen, who had watched it many times, knew very well that this was just a picture. Although the strange beast imprisoned in the image was not something he could afford to provoke now, it would not be easy for the beast to break free from the prison.

The dark prison of Lord Yuanxiu that he had just experienced was completely different from the prison world before him.

Not at the same level at all.

Even the chains that bound it, even if just an image, were enough to shock Luo Shen's soul. One can imagine how terrifying this prison world is.

"Such a terrifying beast can only be found in the world outside this cage. I don't know who the powerful person who captured it is. If I were caught in this prison world, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to leave even if I were given 100,000 or 1,000,000 epochs."

Luo Shen sighed in his heart. (End of this chapter)
