Swallowed Star: The Original Secret Realm

Chapter 237 The Nine Swords Master Applies Again to Host the Genius Battle
In the primordial universe, within Zhang Yi's vast and boundless divine realm, the endless dark sea emanated powerful energy fluctuations.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Two figures also arrived below the huge vortex above the Nether Sea.

It is the true human being and the celestial avatar.

Instantly, the human's divine body and divine power began to transform, and the divine power immediately soared, reaching the same level of 32000 times the divine power of the universe's master gene. However, due to the limitation of the original universe's will, the divine power exerted was only at the level of 'ten thousand times the divine power of the universe's master gene'.

The Star Avatar, after its divine power surged, reached the level of 'three hundred times the divine power of the universe's master gene'.

"After the Star Avatar broke through to the Universe Lord level, the original hundred-fold gene bottleneck was gone. Among the treasures I obtained, there are materials that can enhance life genes. If I use them at any cost and spend the time, I can definitely reach the ten-thousand-fold life level," Zhang Yi thought to himself.

Once the star clone reaches a life level of ten thousand times, its strength will be almost the same as that of the original body.

"And then there's the divine kingdom." Zhang Yi sensed his vast divine kingdom.

With the help of the mysterious white bamboo, his divine power broke through the perfect genetic level, and the structure of his divine kingdom became more and more stable and perfect.

Above the endless dark sea, the temple, transformed by the mysterious stone tablet, once again emitted a white light, causing the entire divine kingdom to expand continuously.

Standing in the plaza outside the temple, Zhang Yi looked at the endless dark sea and felt a surge of comfort.

After nearly 100,000 years, he finally broke through to become the Lord of the Universe.

With this breakthrough, his strength was enhanced once again. Without relying on the divine power burning secret technique and the Samsara Spear, he could unleash the top-tier strength of the seventh rank in the cosmic sea.

Once divine power is burned and the Samsara Spear is unleashed, the strength, even if not as great as the Giant Axe, will be comparable.

call out!
Just as Zhang Yi was filled with heroic spirit, a blurry figure appeared in front of the temple; it was none other than the Wheel of Time, which had not appeared for a long time.

He stood in the square outside the temple, looking around as if he could see the entire structure of the divine kingdom.

"not bad."

Shi Lun said with a faint smile.

"The Wheel of Time?" Zhang Yi was taken aback when he saw the figure that had suddenly appeared.

This wheel is truly elusive, always appearing only after I've completed my breakthrough!
"What you're saying is not bad?"

"The divine kingdom's structure, and the fact that your divine power has just broken through to the level of the universe's master, yet your genetic level has already increased by thirty thousand times," Time Wheel said.

"Tell me more about it," Zhang Yi asked curiously.

"Young Master is definitely going to take the path of divine power to become a true god, right?" Shi Lun didn't answer his question, but instead asked.

“Hmm.” Zhang Yi nodded. With the inheritance of the Wu Kingdom and the guidance of the Time Traveler, he naturally wouldn’t follow the path of laws.

"Young Master, you must know about the third level of the Divine Body, but did you know that it is possible to reach the '100,000 times the level of life genes' at the Universe Lord stage?"

"Ten thousand times?" Zhang Yi asked, feigning surprise.

In fact, he knew very well that the 100,000-fold life gene level was the highest level allowed by the supreme rules. In the original work, Luo Feng ultimately achieved the 100,000-fold life gene level.

“Yes, theoretically, the highest level of divine power is 100,000 times.” Shi Lun sighed. “However, to reach 100,000 times, even a single Origin World cycle might not produce more than a few.”

"However, this breakthrough has laid a solid foundation, and achieving a 100,000-fold increase will not be difficult for you."

"A life gene level of 100,000 times is not difficult?" Zhang Yi thought to himself. Shi Lun really thinks highly of him.

“Young Master, you need to broaden your horizons. A life gene level of 100,000 times is powerful, but it only gives you an advantage when you are weak. Once you truly grow up, you will realize that these are just the basics.”

"I can also tell you something: one of the basic conditions for obtaining the master's inheritance is a life gene level of 100,000 times."

"The foundation is 100,000 times the level of life genes?" Zhang Yi was utterly shocked.

This is outrageous. In the Origin Continent, someone with a divine power level exceeding 9 times is already a peerless genius, but in the eyes of the Time Traveler, he hasn't even reached the threshold of his inheritance.

No wonder, according to Kalachakra's words, the legacy of the Time Traveler has existed in the Cosmic Sea for countless years, yet no life has ever truly obtained it.

Shi Lun seemed to see the shock and doubt in Zhang Yi's eyes, and said with a smile, "Master, don't underestimate yourself. Anything is possible. In fact, as long as your strength reaches a certain level, even the supreme rules cannot restrict you. Ten thousand times the life gene may not be the limit."

Zhang Yi was shocked once again. If Shi Lun was so confident, who exactly was that senior Time Traveler?
Originally, he thought that the Time Traveler might be an ultimate god-king from the Origin Continent, or even a god-emperor, but even a god-emperor wouldn't dare to say that he was not subject to the restrictions of the supreme rules!

After a brief conversation with Shilun, Shilun didn't say anything more and returned to the key ring, falling silent once more.

Zhang Yi continued to experience the changes he underwent after breaking through to the level of the Lord of the Universe within the Divine Kingdom.

After comprehending the laws of time this time, he naturally reached the fifth level of "Time and Space Evolution". According to the description of "Time and Space Evolution", his realm can even be compared with the Void True God.

In theory, it is possible for him to create a secret technique at the level of a Void God by spending a long time, but in reality, it is not that simple.

When he was a Universe Venerable, his realm was comparable to that of a True God, but after tens of thousands of years, he only managed to create a top-tier seventh-order secret technique.

It might take countless epochs to create, but for him, it wouldn't be cost-effective.

After all, his cultivation period was short, and time was the biggest cost to him.

Moreover, there is also the threat of the Beasts of the Realm.

"Right, let's try time travel." Zhang Yi's eyes lit up, his heart filled with anticipation.

Immediately, with a thought, he activated the Space-Time Evolution Technique, and the entire divine kingdom space came under his perception.

His consciousness then left the divine kingdom and arrived at the divine kingdom outside the divine kingdom, and then entered the spatial torrent layer.

Whoosh! Consciousness returned, breaking through the spatial fragments and arriving in the primordial universe, sensing endless star sectors and the dark deserts between them.

Although he spoke slowly, in an instant, Zhang Yi's consciousness sensed the entire primordial universe, including the interior of the universe, the divine realm layer of the cosmic membrane, and the spatial torrent layer—everything was under his perception.

wrong!

It's not everything. His consciousness cannot descend into the primordial space where the primordial will of the universe resides, and naturally, he cannot sense it.

"This is too incredible!" Even Zhang Yi himself couldn't believe it.

The Time Traveler's "Time and Space Evolution" is so terrifying. This move is simply an enhanced version of the original ancestor's "Virtual Universe" secret technique, with a wider range of perception than the Virtual Universe.

Even places where the words of a true god can change, primordial stars shrouded in the will of the origin, and the most mysterious spatial interlayers, Zhang Yi can sense them in an instant.

Moreover, the most terrifying thing is that wherever he senses, his true form can appear with just a thought, which is the place he can sense.

"Hahahaha." Zhang Yi laughed loudly, never expecting such a big surprise after comprehending the fifth level of spacetime evolution.

“This move can be used to descend to almost any place in the original universe at any time, so calling it time travel is no longer appropriate,” Zhang Yi thought to himself. “From now on, let’s call it ‘Time Descent’.”

In the blink of an eye, one can sense endless space and time, and descend at will!
They truly seem to be travelers through time and space, able to go wherever they want.

At this moment, Zhang Yi began to understand the origin of the title "Time Traveler".

Once again, his consciousness covered the entire primordial universe, and he sensed many interesting and amazing things.

However, he gave up after sensing it for a moment.

The reason is that this move is too energy-consuming, especially putting a lot of pressure on one's will. Even with his god-level willpower, he could only hold on for a moment.

It seems that only by breaking through to the Void level in terms of willpower can the sensing time be extended. Time flies like water, year after year, and decades have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Zhang Yi, who had been meditating cross-legged in front of the Divine Kingdom Palace, opened his eyes.

Because at this moment, in his exclusive dimension of the virtual universe, the Lord of Chaos City has arrived.

Since breaking through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, he first sensed a special feeling within himself. Then, he had a lot of inspiration and gained new insights into many things in the Wu Kingdom's heritage, especially the second level of the Divine Power Burning Secret Technique.

He simply went into seclusion to process all of this.

"I got so engrossed in cultivation that I forgot to tell my teacher." Zhang Yi thought to himself. Decades ago, when he was about to break through, he had informed the Lord of Chaos City, but after the breakthrough, he became obsessed with cultivation.

Virtual universe, Zhang Yi's exclusive dimensional space.

On a grassland at the foot of a high mountain, a figure in a golden robe stood, looking around curiously.

This was the first time the Lord of Chaos City had come to Zhang Yi's exclusive plane.

Wow!
A figure appeared; it was Zhang Yi.

"Teacher, please sit down," Zhang Yi said, waving his hand to summon two chairs.

After the Chaos City Lord sat down, he smiled and said, "The layout of this place you've set up is quite unique."

"How is it? Have you broken through to the level of the Lord of the Universe?"

There was expectation in his eyes.

"I've broken through." Zhang Yi grinned.

"How does it feel?"

"good."

Zhang Yi gave a general explanation of his ability to descend through time and space to the Lord of Chaos City.

"Apart from the original space of the primordial universe, almost any place can be accessed at any time?" The Lord of Chaos City was utterly shocked.

This was truly beyond his imagination.

The ancestor's virtual universe secret technique was incredibly powerful, capable of covering the entire primordial universe and sensing most areas.

I never expected his disciple to be even more amazing.

"It's a pity that within the primordial universe, one can only unleash the peak strength of the sixth rank. Otherwise, you alone could have intimidated all races in the universe," the Chaos City Lord sighed.

In the primordial universe, even with the most powerful treasures, it would be impossible for a top-tier sixth-order powerhouse to kill a fifth-order universe lord in an instant.

If there is even the slightest delay, the opponent's true god will be teleported to their divine kingdom.

"Teacher, don't worry, there might be good news in a while," Zhang Yi said with a smile.

"Hmm?" The Lord of Chaos City was surprised.

"Teacher, you'll find out then."

"Once my will breaks through to the Void True God level, and I cultivate the will secret technique created by King Wu, which universe master in the primordial universe can withstand it?" Zhang Yi thought to himself.

At that time, he will truly be able to awe all races in the universe.

"By the way, didn't you say last time that you would officially take over after your breakthrough?" said Chaos City Lord.

"You won't make excuses this time, will you?"

"Definitely not." Zhang Yi smiled.

"In that case, I'll combine your inauguration ceremony with my celebration of advancing to True God," said the Lord of Chaos City.

Over the years, Zhang Yi has not taken over as the first person in charge of the Virtual Universe Company, and the Lord of Chaos City has been waiting. Even the celebration of his ascension to the True God has been delayed, which aroused the curiosity of the other universe lords.

“Teacher, you can decide that. However, I want to study the secret techniques further in the meantime, whether the celebration can be held two thousand years from now. But from now on, I will be in charge of the specific affairs of the Virtual Universe Company. Teacher, please focus on studying the secret techniques.” Zhang Yi said, “However, from now on, I will be in charge of the specific affairs of the Virtual Universe Company. Teacher, please focus on studying the secret techniques.”

"You little rascal, you still have some conscience. But your teacher has already created a top-tier seventh-order secret technique," the Chaos City Lord said with a laugh.

“A seventh-order secret technique.” Zhang Yi nodded to himself. He had previously overlooked the opportunity to gain enlightenment about the laws when he broke through to the True God realm—the Chaos Evolution.

Every newly ascended True God can personally experience the process of the Chaos Law evolving into the Ten Fundamental Laws.

This process can drastically improve one's cultivation level, after which one can easily create seventh- or even eighth-order secret techniques.

"Then it's settled. The celebration will be held two thousand years from now."

Soon, the news that Zhang Yi would take over as the first leader of the Virtual Universe Company two thousand years later spread like wildfire, not only within the Hong Alliance but also throughout the entire Primordial Universe, and even the Cosmic Sea was abuzz with the news.

"The top leader of Virtual Universe Company?"

"The Lord of Chaos City has abdicated? But he's already a true god, he should have stopped dealing with these specific matters long ago."

"In my opinion, humanity still lacks the courage to act. We should just make Zhang Yi the leader of the five major powers."

"Then where did you put the Primal Ancestral One and the Giant Axe?"

There were dissenting voices.

Regardless of their individual motivations, all parties felt that it was only natural for Zhang Yi to take over as the top leader of the Virtual Universe Company.

He is merely a master of the universe, yet his strength is so extraordinary that he can suppress the seventh true master of the Divine Eye Clan. Although his cultivation time is relatively short, on the path of cultivation, strength always speaks volumes.

Moreover, the shorter the training period, the more dreaded it becomes.

"This is an opportunity, a good time to befriend the human race, so we should prepare a generous gift."

"In the future, in the primordial universe, we dare not easily offend the Lord of Time and Space."

The thoughts of numerous forces in the primordial universe emerged, and they made their decisions.

Two thousand years is but a moment to the cosmic ruler who possesses endless life.

During this period, Zhang Yi devoted most of his attention to the creation of secret techniques. The eighth-order secret technique had already taken shape, and it was only a matter of time before it was created.

At the same time, he set aside some time to handle some of the day-to-day affairs of the Virtual Universe Company.

Of course, Virtual Universe Company has a very sophisticated operating mechanism, and there are very few things that require his decision.

On this day, he suddenly received a message from the virtual universe system.

"The Nine Swords Venerable wishes to reapply to preside over the upcoming Genius Battle. Should this be approved?"

Zhang Yi smiled as he read the message.

As he had predicted, everything went exactly as he had expected.
