Swallowed Star: The Original Secret Realm

Chapter 235 Seventh-Order Secret Technique
The primordial universe began to become calm, especially the three major races of the demon race, the mechanical race, and the insect race, who became much more low-key. Even routine infiltrations and assassinations of human geniuses became rare.

Human society has rarely been quiet from top to bottom.

Ten thousand years after the Lord of Chaos City became a true god, Zhang Yi opened his long-closed eyes within the inheritance space.

"The secret technique is almost complete." Ten thousand years in the outside world is equivalent to one hundred million years in the accelerated space of the inheritance space.

Over such a long period of time, he continued to extend and create new secret techniques based on the sixth-order secret techniques "Silver Space" and "Golden Space". Today, he is only one step away from completing them.

"Let's try the 'virtual space' again," Zhang Yi pondered.

The virtual space is a place within the Wu Kingdom's heritage space that helps improve combat abilities. It contains virtual images of many powerful figures from Wu Kingdom's history, including even His Majesty the 'King of Wu'.

This was a dark void, and a figure in black robes appeared in the void.

"Young King, are you looking for trouble again?" the black-robed figure said with a smile.

Zhang Yi grinned, "General Xiao Ren, don't accidentally lose to me this time."

The figure in black robes was a former general of the Wu Kingdom, whose strength was roughly on par with the generals of the Spaceship. Even though they used the same body and the same sixth-tier secret technique, Zhang Yi had been unable to defeat him since they met.

General Xiao Ren's eyes showed surprise, and she said with anticipation, "Young King, then I will wait and see."

"Take this shot."

The black-robed general's figure was like a ghost, with ethereal sword shadows and spear shadows appearing one after another, his momentum soaring to the sky, the spear shadows overlapping as if billions of spear shadows appeared.

"Well done!" Zhang Yi roared, unleashing the sixth-order secret techniques "Silver Space-Time" and "Golden Space-Time" in quick succession.

In an instant, the entire space was shrouded in the shadows of gunfire.

Soon, General Xiao Ren in black robes unleashed six top-tier sixth-level spear techniques, all of which were blocked by Zhang Yi.

"Young King, you have indeed improved this time," General Xiao Ren said with a smile. "Next is the seventh shot."

In previous challenges, Zhang Yi had been defeated by his sixth shot, and the seventh shot was the first time he had ever used it.

"The seventh shot!"

The endless shadows of guns converged, like a towering stone pillar pressing down from the sky.

Even before the gunshot arrived, a terrifying pressure was felt.

Although this move is only a sixth-order secret technique, its power has reached the level of a seventh-order secret technique after the first six strikes are combined.

"This is the moment!" Zhang Yi's eyes blazed with an astonishing fighting spirit.

He gripped the spear tightly and thrust it toward the towering stone pillar that was about to fall.

boom!
The two spears suddenly clashed!
"Not enough!" Zhang Yi roared again, thrusting his spear forward once more. At this moment, he felt as if the spear in his hand had come to life.

Bang! This time, it's all over!
General Xiao Ren was thrown back several kilometers, looking at Zhang Yi in shock.

"A seventh-tier secret technique?"

Zhang Yi gripped the spear, his heart pounding with excitement.

Success! We've finally created a top-tier seventh-level spear technique!

"This move was created based on 'Silver Dimension' and 'Golden Dimension,' so let's call it 'Gold and Silver Dimension,'" Zhang Yi thought to himself.

"Congratulations, Young King! For a Universe Venerable to create a seventh-order secret technique is something only three people have ever done in the long history of the Wu Kingdom," General Xiao Ren said with a smile as she reappeared before him.

"Yeah." Zhang Yi nodded.

He was naturally aware of the level of geniuses who had appeared in the history of the Wu Kingdom.

During the era of the Cosmic Venerable, creating a top-tier sixth-order secret technique was considered average. Only three people were able to create a seventh-order secret technique, including His Majesty King Wu. The other two eventually became God Kings and Chaos Realm cultivators, respectively.

This shows how terrifying it was to be able to create a seventh-order secret technique during the era of the Cosmic Venerable.

In the virtual universe, in the outer space exclusive to the Lord of Chaos City, Zhang Yi appeared out of thin air in front of a dazzling golden palace.

"This is my first time visiting the teacher's new residence in the virtual universe," Zhang Yi said, looking up at the magnificent and endless golden palace.

As the Lord of Chaos City breaks through to become the strongest being in the universe and a pillar of the human race, he naturally needs a residence that represents his status.

“Teacher.” Zhang Yi stepped into the main hall and saw the Chaos City Lord sitting high on the throne, and spoke.

The Chaos City Lord opened his eyes, saw the smiling face on his face, and asked in surprise, "You've broken through?"

His disciple hasn't appeared since he went into seclusion ten thousand years ago.

"I've made some progress; I've created a seventh-order secret technique," Zhang Yi said casually.

"A seventh-order secret technique?" The Chaos City Lord was utterly astonished.

He assumed that Zhang Yi's breakthrough meant reaching the level of a universe master, since his disciple had already created several sixth-order secret techniques.

According to the records in the inheritance he received, once a universe master creates a sixth-order secret technique, he can attempt to break through to the True God realm.

It was after receiving the inheritance that he had a sudden burst of inspiration, and through years of accumulation, he was fortunate enough to create a sixth-order secret technique and successfully break through.

"You created a seventh-order secret technique without breaking through to the level of the Lord of the Universe?" the Chaos City Lord confirmed again.

He knew all too well what this meant.

The Chaos Overlord-level inheritance he obtained was something that even the Chaos Realm expert, when he was a Universe Venerable, had only created a top-tier sixth-order secret technique.

Zhang Yi shook his head and said with regret, "I was thinking of comprehending the laws of time first and becoming the master of the universe, but I didn't expect to create a seventh-order secret technique first."

"You brat, are you deliberately trying to provoke your teacher? You created it before I even thought of it?" The Chaos City Lord laughed and scolded, "Your teacher has already broken through to the True God realm, and he still hasn't created a seventh-order secret technique."

"Teacher, this breakthrough is still in its early stages. With a little more time, you'll be able to create something soon," Zhang Yi said with a smile.

Newly promoted experts who break through to the True God realm can generally only create top-tier level 6 secret techniques. If they don't have the most powerful treasures, they can only unleash top-tier level 6 strength.

However, true gods like these usually don't appear in the Cosmic Sea. They would spend time creating seventh-order secret techniques and gaining seventh-order strength before venturing into the Cosmic Sea.

"Although you are only a Universe Venerable now, your strength is no weaker than mine," the Chaos City Lord sighed.

After he broke through to the True God level, the Chaos Overlord level inheritance naturally gifted him a supreme treasure. With the help of the secret runes on the supreme treasure, he was able to unleash the strength of the seventh rank.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yi smiled but didn't continue the conversation. Instead, he asked, "Has anything significant happened in the primordial universe during this era?"

During his ten thousand years of seclusion, he had not connected to the virtual universe network and was unaware of the current situation.

Upon hearing Zhang Yi mention this, the Chaos City Lord's spirits lifted, and he exclaimed in response.

"Haha, the speed at which our human race has developed over the past ten thousand years is beyond imagination."

"Ever since you publicly entered the core of the demon race and sealed the Lord of Changjiu, and killed him, all races in the universe are in a state of panic, fearing that you will suddenly come knocking on their door. Those who have a grudge against my human race are especially terrified."

Furthermore, with my breakthrough, our clan's foundation is even stronger, making it even less likely for other races to act rashly.

In recent years, the Treasure Exchange Policy launched by the Refining Treasure Group has caused a great uproar in the entire Primordial Universe as soon as it was announced. After all, this exchange policy is much lower than the exchange rate for the Universe Lords of those peak races.

For those races that do not have a cosmic ruler, it's equivalent to a price cut in half.

Crazy!

Utterly insane!
The successful exchange of the first ordinary race's cosmic overlord completely ignited the chaos.

All the powerful now know that the human race is serious and keeps its word.

From then on, a strange phenomenon occurred: no more powerful individuals from other top races exchanged for their treasures, while the treasures of the human race's treasure-refining groups were snapped up.

Furthermore, some powerful figures from other top races secretly commissioned certain cosmic overlords to exchange for supreme treasures from the human race. The attitude of the Treasure Refining Group towards this phenomenon is to make an example of them and warn others. Once it is discovered that someone is exchanging treasures on behalf of others, they will be permanently banned from doing so.

At the same time, the number of rare items that can be redeemed by each group is limited.

These two measures finally stabilized the situation, allowing Lianbao Group to start making easy money as large quantities of materials and resources flowed in continuously.

Furthermore, the preservation of ancient civilizations has been secretly carried out under cover of secrecy.

First, some realm lords with high talent and strength but nearing the end of their lifespan were selected and taught the experience of breaking through to immortality. The outstanding ones could even receive assistance from external objects from ancient civilizations.

Many of these realm lords are very talented, but for various reasons, they are unable to comprehend a lower-level fundamental law within the limited time of their realm lordship. For example, in the original work, Luo, who was known as the 'Time Realm Lord', focused all his energy on the higher-level law, the law of time, until he was nearing the end of his life and finally realized his mistake.

This Luo is clearly talented, but because of his excessive ambition, he may not be able to become immortal even when his lifespan ends.

With the guidance of the ancient civilization's legacy, plus the external aid left by Zhang Yi, breaking through to immortality should be easy. Once Luo breaks through to immortality, even if it takes a long time, he has a real chance of becoming a cosmic venerable.

There are many more like this; Luo is just one example.

Although the time frame was short, it was quite obvious that the probability of immortals being born in the various cosmic kingdoms had significantly increased.

These circumstances were quickly made known to other alien races that were also interested in human populations.

These alien races speculated whether the human race had been passed down.
They were well aware that the Divine Eye Clan of the first reincarnation era had only obtained a part of a very ordinary ancient civilization inheritance, which caused their clan's powerful members to explode and become the number one force in the primitive universe at that time.

But whether it was about the treasure or the speculation about inheritance, no alien race dared to make a move.

The number one assassin in the primordial universe, the deterrent power of two true gods is not something that ordinary forces can withstand.

"These alien races are clever, otherwise, we could have just seized all the precious lands they occupied in the primordial universe," Zhang Yi said with a smile after listening to the Chaos City Lord's account.

"Haha, they won't dare to act rashly unless they're in dire straits," said the Chaos City Lord. "After all, no force can withstand an enemy who can unleash sixth-tier strength and appear anywhere at any time."

“Teacher, since the Primal Universe is safe, my main body will continue to explore the Cosmic Sea,” Zhang Yi said. “However, my Nether Sea clone will remain in the Primal Secret Realm. With the seventh-order secret technique, the Nether Sea clone can barely exert the strength of the sixth order, which is enough to maintain the deterrence against the alien races.”

After bidding farewell to the Lord of Chaos City, Zhang Yi piloted the Radiant Light Ship and began his adventures in the Peak Realm.

Relying on the mechanical treasure, Zhang Yi directly entered the core area of ​​the Peak Realm and witnessed several extremely terrifying and dangerous places within the core area, which were even more dangerous than the spaceship.

He also approached the Dark Land silently. In the Myriad Waves Waters, which were very close to the Dark Land, he naturally discovered the three powerful figures from the first cycle of reincarnation who had set up the trap that led to the fall of the Giant Axe in the original story: Qiuyan Ancestral God, Zhenjia King, and Haolei Star Lord.

Thanks to the special nature of the Liuguang ship, these three naturally couldn't detect him, but he also dared not easily show himself now.

After all, these three are all top-tier eighth-order experts, and even if they burn their divine power, it would be difficult to defeat them, let alone the fact that there are three of them.

On the edge of the dark land, he witnessed the brutal and bloody battles and devouring of the World Beasts. He saw it all, but knew that now was not the time to deal with the World Beasts.

Most importantly, he currently lacked the strength and effective methods to deal with the astonishing number of world beasts.

"We still need to find a way to repair the spaceship as a backup plan," Zhang Yi thought to himself.

It seems that after Luo Feng is born, we should find an opportunity to get in touch with the Mountain Hermit.

As a god-king of Jin, Zuo Shan Ke is skilled in refining treasures and must possess a large amount of Chaos Stones and Chaos Crystals. Perhaps, with his abilities, he can even find a better way to repair the spaceship.

As time passed, Zhang Yi continued his adventures within the Qingfeng Realm.

In the inner region of the Qingfeng Realm, in the middle of a swampy ocean, there was a huge whirlpool. Suddenly, a stream of light flew out from the whirlpool.

Wow! Wow!
Five cosmic lords, hidden in the swampy ocean, have emerged one after another, attempting to seize the supreme treasure.

After a fierce battle, the treasures continued to be thrown around, but no one managed to get their hands on them.

Just then, a dark golden figure appeared near the treasure and swept it into his possession with a wave of his hand.

"Everyone, the treasure is mine now. Do you have any objections?" Zhang Yi smiled as he looked at the five universe lords around him.

"Zhang Yi?"

"The master of spacetime among the human race in the primordial universe?"

"Hurry up and leave, or you'll be dead."

These cosmic lords didn't even dare to reply and left the swamp at top speed.

They knew perfectly well that Zhang Yi possessed a supreme treasure of the domain type, and coupled with his terrifying strength, if Zhang Yi were to kill them, they would have no chance of escaping.

After all, the strongest among the five is a fifth-order universe master.

"A top-tier treasure, not bad. I just happened to be passing by, might as well take it." Zhang Yi nodded in satisfaction as he watched the five universe lords hastily depart.

For other powerful individuals, venturing into the inner region of the Peak Realm requires extreme caution, as they are concerned about the dangers of the Peak Realm itself and the presence of other powerful individuals.

But for Zhang Yi, the inner region was like his own backyard; he could come and go as he pleased.

Even in the core area, there were a few places where he could not even use time travel, so he dared not approach them. Other dangerous places did not pose any threat to him at all.
