Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 371 Ninth-Order Limit, Lava Hell

"That's right, I was in a hurry!"

The founder of the Giant Axe, who had also experienced this period, nodded in understanding, then looked at Minghai curiously and asked:
"Cold Sword, what level of secret technique can you create?"

All the lords of the universe looked toward the Dark Sea, awaiting his answer.

Before the Dark Sea, the human race had already produced two of the strongest beings in the universe. These core members of the human race were familiar with information related to the advancement to become the strongest beings in the universe.

When one advances to become the strongest in the universe, one can observe the evolution of chaos. All the strongest will have their strength greatly improved, but the benefits will be different for the strongest in the universe with different talents!
Those with low talent, even after observing the evolution of chaos, cannot break through to the sixth rank; they can only elevate their secret techniques to the peak of the sixth rank.

However, the strongest beings in any universe are all peerless geniuses, each with extraordinary talent, and the vast majority of them can create seventh-order secret techniques, which greatly increases their strength.

But even among geniuses, there are differences in their abilities.

Given Minghai's monstrous talent, creating a seventh-order secret technique wouldn't even be considered passing; he'd most likely be able to create an eighth-order secret technique, capable of fighting against the strongest ordinary universe user who possesses the most powerful treasure.

"You'll know when the time comes!"

Minghai smiled.

……

Spaceship, Space of the Seventh Black-Patterned Stone Pillar.

On a massive meteorite with a diameter of 30 million kilometers, a humanoid monster, 90,000 kilometers tall, entirely blood-red, with thick blood-red scales covering its forehead, shoulders, arms, and legs, and two long, sharp horns on its head, emerged from the canyon.

Blood God Child!

'Om'

Blood God waved his hand, and a dark void with a diameter of 100 kilometers immediately appeared in the void.

With his blood-red hair flowing down his shoulders and clad in the dark red 'Crimson Dragon Chaos Armor', Minghai emerged from the void.

After looking around, he put the Blood God Child into his World Ring and flew into the depths of the Black Pattern Stone Pillar space.

The passage of time increased rapidly over the four weeks.

11,000 times, 13,000 times...

Twenty-one thousand times, twenty-three thousand times...

……

Ultimately, it stopped in a region where time was flowing at a speed more than 98,000 times faster.

"Still quite a distance from the ninth-tier limit of willpower!"

Resisting the immense pressure of the black-patterned stone pillar, Minghai thought to himself.

After ascending to the strongest being in the universe, his life level underwent a great leap, and his soul was nurtured by the laws of chaos while observing the evolution of chaos, resulting in a transformation of his soul and a surge in the strength of his will.

From the peak of the seventh rank to the ninth rank in one fell swoop!
After testing the limits of willpower, Minghai began to retreat.

The four weeks passed by rapidly.

Once they retreated to an area where time flowed at a speed approximately 50,000 times faster, the pressure of the will emanating from the black-patterned stone pillars decreased significantly, making it easily bearable, and the speed of their thought processes was not greatly affected, so they stopped.

He selected a new meteorite, over ten million kilometers in diameter, that was orbiting the black-veined stone pillar, and Minghai flew over and landed on it.

First, he took out the 'Blood God Child' and hid it in a concealed spot on the meteorite. Then, he took out the 'Azure Cloud Cauldron' and hid inside to begin his secluded cultivation, preparing to create a secret technique.

Minghai estimated that with his current understanding of the laws, creating a ninth-order secret technique would not be difficult, but he wanted to go further and see if he could create a tenth-order secret technique!

That's why I chose to come to the Black Pattern Stone Pillar Space to cultivate by taking advantage of the speed of time passing here.

Time passed slowly.

As previously estimated, creating a ninth-order secret technique was not difficult for the current Nether Sea at all; it only took five hundred years to successfully create it.

However, the difficulty increases dramatically when attempting to advance further beyond the ninth-tier secret technique.

It took more than 20 million years to repeatedly organize and improve the ninth-order secret technique he created, and finally created the ninth-order ultimate secret technique.

But not even a trace of a tenth-order secret technique could be seen. There was no way around it; the chaotic evolution time of the microcosm was too short. Even with Minghai's talent, he could only grasp a very small part of it. His foundation was too shallow to allow him to create a tenth-order secret technique.

The ninth-order limit and the tenth-order limit may seem to be only a thin line apart, but in reality they are worlds apart, with an almost insurmountable threshold.

It is tens of millions of times larger than the fifth or sixth order!
After all, whether or not one can create a tenth-order secret technique is related to whether or not one can survive the cycle of reincarnation!

Among the powerful beings in the Cosmic Sea, those who have cultivated through three cosmic cycles are extremely rare, and those who can create tenth-order secret techniques are few and far between.

Throughout countless cycles of reincarnation, only the Eastern Emperor Ancestor and the Purple Moon Ancestor were able to survive the cycle, which shows just how difficult it was!
No matter how strong Minghai's talent is, without the guidance of a lineage, it would be impossible for him to advance so easily.

Seeing no hope, Minghai ultimately had to end his cultivation.

"The ninth-order limit is enough!"

Minghai secretly said:

"Among all the strongest beings in the Primordial Universe and the Cosmic Sea, apart from the Primordial Ancestor who was suppressed by the Primordial Universe's Origin, none of them have created a ninth-order ultimate secret technique. Even without the most powerful treasure, I fear no existence!"

After creating the ninth-order ultimate secret technique, he immediately became a ninth-order ultimate powerhouse, and no one in the entire universe could find an opponent.

It's not that he's truly without rivals; at least the First God Lord of the Divine Eye Clan should be stronger than him.

But that's because the First True Lord of the Divine Eye Clan possesses the most powerful treasure and has also obtained the incomplete inheritance of an ancient civilization, allowing him to briefly unleash tenth-tier combat power.

Even in terms of mastery of secret techniques, the First True Lord of the Divine Eye Clan is no match for him.

"Giant Axe, where are you?!"

The divine power avatar of the divine kingdom landed in the virtual universe and asked the creator of the giant axe a question.

……

Qingfeng Realm.

The core area is called 'Hell Lava'.

'Hell Lava' is a lava river that is trillions of kilometers wide and nearly a hundred light-years long.

Rumble~~~
The scorching red magma roared and surged forward like the sea, shattering space and distorting time in its wake, creating terrifying spacetime storms on the churning magma 'river'.

These lava flows are special substances containing terrifying destructive power; any single drop of magma could reduce the Lord of the Universe to ashes.

The spacetime storm on the magma 'river' can destroy even the most precious treasures of a peak palace!

Submerged by these fiery red magma, or accidentally entering a spacetime storm, even the strongest beings in the universe, without a palace or supreme treasure, would perish instantly!
Within a hundred light-year radius, the space is imprisoned to an unimaginable degree by the 'Hellfire Lava'. Even the strongest beings in the universe cannot create a single spatial fluctuation without attacking the most powerful treasures.

Without spatial fluctuations, teleportation is impossible; any being that comes here can only fly obediently.

On the banks of a roaring, raging river of lava, a burly man with a rugged, wild appearance, resembling a savage, stands on a rock about a hundred kilometers in diameter, gazing expectantly into the distance.

call out!
A streak of light flew swiftly toward this place from afar.

brush!
A moment later, a young man with blood-red hair, wearing dark red scale armor, and a handsome face with a hint of evil charm landed on the bank of the lava river.

"Haha, Leng Jian, you've finally arrived!"

The savage giant jumped off the rock and came to greet them, laughing heartily.

Minghai glanced at the roaring, terrifyingly destructive river of magma and smiled:
"Giant Axe, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for eight hundred years!"

Cultivating within the Black Patterned Stone Pillar space took 25 million years inside and 500 years outside. In addition, it was my first time coming to the core layer of the Peak Realm, and I was unfamiliar with the terrain, so it took me 300 years to arrive.

Therefore, the creator of the giant axe waited for him here for a full eight hundred years.

"Eight hundred years is nothing."

The founder of the giant axe laughed:
"Moreover, even if I don't wait for you, I will wait for the tide of hell magma to recede once every trillion eons!"

"Ebb tide?"

Ming Hai asked curiously:
"Giant axe, what does that mean?"
