Devouring the Stars: Rising from the Snow Eagle System

Chapter 103 Facing the Lord of the Universe
In Zhou Lin's palace in the virtual universe.

"The Lord of Chaos City should be able to meet you in two days at most." The Palace Master of Heavenly Eclipse looked at Zhou Lin opposite him, feeling somewhat dazed.

He still feels a sense of unreality. Only a few years have passed since Zhou Lin became his disciple, yet that little guy who was once at the cosmic level is now about to kill a high-level Venerable.

Zhou Lin killed the Purple Rain King a few years ago, which his clan judged as the limit of the Immortal stage. They estimated that he could only improve his combat power after he became a Venerable.

But who would have thought that Zhou Lin could fight against a top-tier cosmic overlord?

Even the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master himself wasn't that good at protecting himself.

"It doesn't matter," Zhou Lin said calmly. "I'm prepared to expose my identity. At most, the alien races will go even crazier."

He was absolutely confident that once he broke through to the third level of the Heavenly God Realm, even a fourth-level Universe Lord wouldn't find it easy to kill him.

After this escape, the number of people surrounding and killing Zhou Lin decreased significantly.

Only the most powerful beings in the universe dare to come here again.

But things won't end so easily; the significance of a single Mirror Stone is far too great.

Zhou Lin only revealed his strength at the level of a cosmic overlord.

……

With about two hours to go before the arrival of the Chaos City Lord, Zhou Lin also encountered a rather tricky problem.

On the original star numbered 03977, he encountered the Lord of Vanno Castle of the Thorn Ring Alliance, as well as several other cosmic overlords.

"Destruction Lord, hand over the Mirror Stone!" Lord Vanno shouted as he piloted his flying fortress. "You can't escape me now!"

Zhou Lin inwardly sighed that things were not going well. He had encountered a top-tier universe overlord who possessed the supreme treasure of a flying palace. In terms of difficulty, this Lord of Vanno Castle was even more troublesome than many universe lords.

"Lord of Vanno Castle," Zhou Lin said coldly, "If you keep me occupied, the Qijing Stone won't come to you. Do you dare to show yourself and fight?"

Lord Vanno Castle remained unmoved. He had already heard of Zhou Lin's methods; even top-tier cosmic overlords couldn't harm his divine body, so there was no need for a fight.

"No matter what you say, it's no use." Lord Vannoh piloted his flying fortress, following Zhou Lin at a leisurely pace.

He had absolutely no intention of fighting Zhou Lin.

The main body of the Vanno Castle God is a million kilometers long and has a high-level flying palace. Even the Lord of the Universe cannot kill him, let alone Zhou Lin.

wow~
Countless star-shaped water droplets appeared, and Zhou Lin could only activate high-level class treasures in an attempt to slow down the flight speed of the Lord of Vanno Castle.

"Such powerful force!" Lord Vannoh exclaimed. "However, this move is useless against me."

After saying that, a lush green world began to descend, clashing with Zhou Lin's Starry Sea Eye, but it was clearly at a disadvantage.

The other cosmic overlords also took out their domain-type treasures and clashed with Zhou Lin. They stood far away and did not get close at all.

It simply neutralized the power of the Starry Sea Eye from different directions.

"If it weren't for the Alliance's promise that I'd get a soul-type treasure if I trapped you, I wouldn't have been interested in chasing you." Lord Vannoh shouted, "No, hand over a high-level soul-type treasure and I'll let you go."

"Keep dreaming."

Zhou Lin sneered, an uncontrollable killing intent rising within him.

And so, Zhou Lin flew around the original star for half a day, while the Lord of Vanno Castle and the others obediently chased after him, creating a strange balance between the two sides.

"Strange, why doesn't he run towards the vortex passage?" Venerable Yu Xiang asked疑惑地, "What's the point of him being trapped on this primordial star?"

"There's no need to know, because the Lord of the Universe is about to arrive."

Lord Vanno Castle's eyes gleamed with excitement. The Thorn Ring Alliance had made it very clear to him that if Zhou Lin was willing to join, they would give him a soul-type treasure.

Even if Zhou Lin is unwilling to join, he will still receive contribution points after the Lord of the Universe is killed. In that case, the Lord of Vanno Castle might be able to exchange for a high-level treasure of the domain type.

He already possesses a high-level treasure of the flying palace type. If he were to acquire another high-level treasure of the domain type, he would truly be able to roam freely throughout the primordial universe.

No matter how you look at it, it's a sure-win business.

"Not chasing anymore?" Zhou Lin watched the flying fortress behind him slow down, and he knew in his heart that the opponent's universe master was about to arrive.

Three seconds later...

Boom!

An endless power began to spread, and Zhou Lin, who was flying in the desert, felt as if he were bound. It was a power that far surpassed that of Venerable Scarlet Moon.

"It is said that the Time-Space Nightmare Beast possesses some of the secrets of the Lord of the Universe."

Zhou Lin laughed loudly, "Your control over space and time is indeed stronger than that of Venerable Feiyue. Who is this universe lord who comes here?"

On this primordial star, the cosmic venerables of the other races are far away, and the fact that Lord Vanno Castle is pursuing Zhou Lin in such a high-profile manner is obvious to everyone.

Major super powers are surrounding and blocking the Destroyer.

A divine figure, thousands of kilometers long, descended, with hundreds of sharp horns on her head and an extremely eerie appearance.

What's most strange is that she exudes a chilling aura, yet also possesses an endless allure; even ordinary cosmic venerables would be stunned just by gazing at her.

The Heartbreaker Lord, responsible for the minutiae of the Thorn Ring Alliance.

In terms of status, she was equivalent to the Chaos City Lord in the Hong Alliance, but her strength was naturally far inferior to that of the Chaos City Lord; she was merely a third-order Universe Lord.

With the arrival of the Heart-Piercing Lord, she gained complete control over an area spanning billions of kilometers of the primordial star, and all regions were enveloped in a terrifying sense of constraint.

"I have met the Lord of Heart Piercing."

"The Lord of Heart-Piercing Intent"

All the cosmic overlords of the Thorn Ring Alliance bowed respectfully, except for Lord Vanno Castle, who nodded slightly.

"Destruction Lord, I know your defenses are extremely strong." The voice of the Heart Piercer was infinitely alluring, seemingly penetrating straight into Zhou Lin's soul.

"But I'm already here, and you can't leave today. Why not consider joining my Thorn Ring Alliance? The alliance will give you the best training."

The Lord of Heart Piercing did not make a move immediately; the binding force was only slightly applied at the moment.

If they were to fully unleash their control over space and time, the cosmic overlords would probably struggle to even walk, let alone fly.

"Shut up!" Zhou Lin snapped. "Does the Lord of the Universe have to resort to such despicable tactics to persuade someone to surrender?"

His voice was as loud as thunder, resounding for thousands of miles.

The Heart-Piercing Lord's face immediately turned extremely gloomy. She held a very high position within the Thorn Ring Alliance, and even the universe's overlords had to show her respect. Yet she was being reprimanded like this.

boom!
Zhou Lin felt that the binding force enveloping his entire body was hundreds or thousands of times stronger than before, enough to make even the universe's overlords unable to move.

But he didn't feel much of a difference and continued to accelerate.

"Someone who controls time and space thinks he can bind me?" Zhou Lin was calculating the time, and when the Lord of Chaos City arrived, he would directly crash into the Thousand Treasures River.

The Lord of Chaos City is a fifth-order universe lord, so it's not unreasonable that he could be captured easily.

Zhou Lin was somewhat puzzled. The other party had already mastered time and space, so why hadn't they noticed his immortal identity?

He hadn't expected that the armor of this Annihilation Profound Body could even isolate the spacetime control of a Universe Lord, making it impossible to see anything inside. "Interesting."

The Lord of Heart Piercing smiled, and purple-gold runes appeared in his hand.

The next second, a purple-gold light swept across the sky, and countless beams of light tightly entangled Zhou Lin, each beam possessing immense power.

The convergence of countless beams of light, combined with the spatial and temporal constraints, actually suppressed Zhou Lin's flight speed.

"You don't need to lift a finger. I will defeat him myself and then seal him in the palace of Lord Vanno," the Lord of Heart Piercing commanded calmly.

Although it was said that no action was needed, the Lord of Vanno Castle and the others were scattered around, firmly blocking all possible escape routes for Zhou Lin.

The presence of three cosmic overlords, along with the Lord of Vanno Castle and the Lord of Heart Piercing, is such a formidable lineup that even cosmic overlords must take it seriously.

"Without the strength of a universe master, the Destruction Venerable is likely to perish here today."

"He is too weak, how dare he defy a super power."

The high-ranking elders of the other races were all discussing it.

"This constraint is so uncomfortable." Zhou Lin's current flight speed can only be maintained at 100,000 kilometers per second.

The Lord of Heart Piercing flew over at near-light speed, and Zhou Lin's high-level treasures had very little binding effect on her.

Thirty million kilometers, twenty million kilometers... the distance between the two is getting closer and closer.

A true third-order universe master.

That's something no top cosmic overlord can compare to.

The mere presence of the Lord of Heart Piercing, even from a great distance, made Zhou Lin tremble.

According to his system of classification, the Lord of Heart Piercing is definitely a top-tier True God Realm expert, and the next step would be the True God Venerable Realm.

boom!
Millions of kilometers away, the Lord of Heart Piercing couldn't wait to launch her attack. A burst of icy energy tore through the void and struck Zhou Lin's body in the blink of an eye.

"So fast." Zhou Lin hadn't even had time to react. The difference between the Lord of the Universe and the Venerable of the Universe was not just a change in power.

Their secret methods and laws are on a completely different level.

Therefore, it is extremely difficult for a Venerable One to fight against a Lord of the Universe. Even the top cosmic overlords can only be compared to the weakest cosmic lord.

Facing the Lord of Heart-Piercing, one will surely be ravaged.

"Lord of Heart Piercing, your attacks are too weak; they can't break through my defenses at all." Zhou Lin laughed heartily, calculating his chances of escaping.

"Keep laughing." The Lord of Heart Piercing had truly approached Zhou Lin's side, and the weapon in her hand was a crystal-clear, top-grade treasure ice blade.

when!
The ice blade pierced out fiercely, accurately striking the Destruction Blade in Zhou Lin's hand.

Zhou Lin felt his blood and qi surging wildly within him, and the armor formed by his Annihilation Profound Body trembled violently. The terrifying power directly exerted an effective attack on his divine body.

"Oh no, I underestimated the third-order universe master." Zhou Lin's face turned pale. At this rate, he wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

Even after being weakened by the Destruction Blade, this attack was enough to kill even one percent of his Immortal Divine Body. He didn't even dare to imagine that it would hit Zhou Lin directly.

Sensing Zhou Lin's weakening aura, the Lord of Heart Piercing directly mocked, "Is this the tortoise shell you're so proud of? Nothing special."

The difference in strength between a third-tier universe master and a top-tier universe overlord is approximately one hundred times.

The difference between the first-order Lord of the Universe and the first-order Lord is tenfold.

If a third-order universe master wants to kill a top-tier universe overlord without a clone, he can naturally do so by paying the price.

"If I were a true top-tier cosmic overlord, her attacks would have no effect on me whatsoever." Zhou Lin's output power was still too weak.

Even with the power of Taihao and the body of Annihilation, it still cannot make up for the huge gap.

when!
The Lord of Heart Piercing struck again, making Zhou Lin's whole body tremble. It took billions of particles in his body to barely distribute the power away.

"The Lord of Chaos City will take some time to arrive, I have to hold on as much as possible." Zhou Lin was anxious. At this rate, it would be difficult for his clone to escape.

Even a Star Domain Flying Boat is useless; it's merely a World Artifact.

The Lord of Heart Piercing can be shattered with just a few more moves.

"What to do? What to do?" Zhou Lin's mind raced faster than ever before. He had already drawn the Dust Frost Sword, and the sword and blade clashed, temporarily holding on.

Zhou Lin is currently relying entirely on his current skill level to fight his enemies.

"It's quite mysterious..." the Lord of Heart Piercing exclaimed. Even she found it hard to understand the attack that Zhou Lin, a mere Universe Venerable, was unleashing.

"I'll give you another chance. Join my Thorn Ring Alliance." The Lord of Thorn Heart didn't rush to kill him, but instead spoke condescendingly.

Her expression was haughty, completely adopting the posture of a superior looking down.

"Why say so much?" Zhou Lin said coldly, "The cause and effect are now set today, and your Thorn Ring Alliance will pay a bloody price in the future."

"Then you'll die here today!"

The Lord of Heart Piercing roared, and an endless storm of ice and snow began to appear. She was using the ultimate secret technique of the Lord of the Universe, which would erupt in a moment.

"If I want to keep going, I must make a breakthrough in my level of understanding."

Despite facing the ultimate secret technique of a third-order universe master, Zhou Lin remained calm. He was currently facing many bottlenecks, such as breaking through the laws of space or the first-grade true meaning.

With his strength, if he were to break through to the level of a Cosmic Venerable, his power output would undergo a qualitative change instantly.

"I find it difficult to comprehend the complete laws; there are too many distractions," Zhou Lin pondered. "On the contrary, the First Grade True Meaning is the most likely path for me right now."

Zhou Lin currently possesses the remaining three types of First-Grade True Meaning.

Cause and effect is the true meaning of the three realms; breaking through to the next level leads to the Divine Heart Realm.

"Cause and effect?" Zhou Lin's mind seemed to suddenly open up: "If I can use cause and effect to apply all the damage to the source, then I should be able to transfer it as well."

With his current level of cultivation, even from an extremely distant distance, he could kill an immortal god with whom he had a karmic connection with a single thought.

Attacking the opponent can directly target the root cause.

The treasure armor, which could originally be weakened to one ten-thousandth of its original strength, was reduced to at most one-tenth, or even one-half, in front of Zhou Lin.

This is the advantage of using causality as a tool.

The Lord of Heart Piercing made her move. She brandished her ice blade, and an endless storm of ice and snow condensed on it, which then transformed into an extremely dazzling blue light that pierced through the heavens and the earth.

It truly spans the heavens and the earth, as if connecting to the end of the starry sea.

Moreover, it also has the effect of soul attack, but Zhou Lin's sea of ​​consciousness is protected by a supreme treasure, so he is completely unafraid.

Zhou Lin's left hand wielded the Annihilation Blade, unleashing waves of destructive flames, while his right hand held the Frost Dust Sword, its blade subtly undergoing chaotic transformations. The blade and sword resonated together, directly confronting the blue light.

Rumble!
As expected, Zhou Lin was blasted away by this terrifying power.

The aftershocks were vast and endless, but they only weakened his divine body slightly.
