Devouring the Stars: Rising from the Snow Eagle System

Chapter 111 Sparring with the Lord of Ice Peak

In order to perfectly adapt to his current body, Zhou Lin still needs a considerable amount of time to familiarize himself with it and to fully activate his mental will.

Otherwise, if the body is not familiar with the movements, the strength exerted will be lower than normal.

During this time, Zhou Lin also took the opportunity to kill all the Kings who had been resurrected by the Thorn Ring Alliance, which enraged the Thorn Heart Lord and others.

……

Nearly ten thousand years later, the Lord of Ice Peak personally came to Zhou Lin's company headquarters.

He was still wearing that silver armor, and sat down on the top floor of the office, looking at Zhou Lin indifferently.

"Greetings, Lord of Ice Peak," Zhou Lin said politely and warmly.

The Lord of Ice Peak had saved him before and even gave him a newly created high-grade treasure, so Zhou Lin naturally felt grateful.

Zhou Lin values ​​cause and effect highly, and he has a great karmic connection with the Lord of Ice Peak.

When they roamed the Primordial Star, the Dust Frost Sword and the Annihilation Blade played a significant role. Even now, with their increased strength, these high-grade treasure weapons are still quite formidable.

"Hmm." The Lord of Ice Peak asked directly, "The Mirror Stone, are you planning to hand it over to your clan, or go and try to get it yourself? If you're handing it over to your clan, just give it to me."

It hasn't been long since the opening of the Temple of the Divine Realm.

The exact opening time of the Temple of the Divine Realm is not fixed each time.

Once all 36 Qijing Stones are born, the Qishen Temple will open. Currently, 32 of them are known to exist on the Primordial Star, and there may be some unknown ones.

It could take tens of thousands of years, or it could happen within a few hundred years.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Lin said, "My current strength should be no weaker than that of the Flame Emperor. I plan to go out and try my luck on my own."

"Not weaker than Emperor Yan?!"

The Lord of Ice Peaks wondered if he had misheard. The difference between a second-tier and a third-tier Universe Lord was huge; even a Universe Venerable could hardly achieve this.

The most powerful special life form in the primordial universe could only fight against a third-order universe master, but was still completely crushed.

"Do you know what kind of strength the Flame Emperor possesses?" The Lord of Ice Peak had an extremely good understanding of the Flame Emperor, and at the same time, he also loathed him.

Around 100,000 epochs ago, when the Yan Emperor was still among the human race.

When the Yan Emperor betrayed his ally, the Lord of Ice Peak immediately flew into a rage and attacked, striking the Yan Emperor with his sword until the Yan Emperor fled in terror, only able to survive thanks to his armor.

Even after a long time, the Flame Emperor is still no match for the Lord of the Ice Peak. When they meet, he only dares to utter some harsh words. Without the Calamity Armor, he would have died seventeen or eighteen times over.

The Lord of Ice Peak is considered one of the top-tier fourth-order universe lords, and not much different from fifth-order universe lords.

"Of course I know," Zhou Lin said confidently, "but I'm definitely not weaker than him."

"It's not that I don't trust you, but I want to test you myself." The Lord of Ice Peak said this mainly because he was afraid that Zhou Lin might misjudge the strength of the Flame Emperor.

After all, Zhou Lin had never fought against a top-tier third-order opponent before.

Although the Lord of Heart Piercing is a third-order universe lord, she is far inferior to the Flame Emperor.

The most obvious reason is that Yan Di has the Calamity Armor, which allows him to trade injuries at any cost and unleash ultimate secret techniques. Given the circumstances, it wouldn't be difficult for him to kill the Lord of Heart Piercing.

Even if it destroys even one ten-thousandth of your divine body, it would be enough.

Even if the human elites had high hopes for Zhou Lin, they couldn't get him a top-tier treasure armor. Besides, the Flame Emperor still had his original soul and the Flame God Halberd.

“No problem.” Zhou Lin’s fighting spirit soared. He also needed to take this opportunity to show his true strength as a master of the universe, rather than as a top-tier universe overlord.

Although they appear similar, their actual status differs; the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace is not qualified to go to the Giant Axe Temple.

Although Zhou Lin did not encounter the Lord of Qingdong and others, he could sense that the clan had a cosmic lord who was dissatisfied with his current treatment.

Swish!
The Lord of Ice Peaks carried Zhou Lin in a teleportation, while the Lord of the Universe could teleport over extremely long distances, easily reaching tens of thousands of light-years.

Even though Zhou Lin has mastered the complete laws of space, his teleportation distance is far inferior to that of the Ice Peak Lord, but their frequency is almost the same.

Distance is a matter of principle, but frequency is a matter of will.

Before long, the two arrived at the brilliant starry sky beyond human territory. There were no inhabited planets here, so they could freely spar.

"Make your move." The Lord of the Ice Peaks initiated a live broadcast in the virtual universe.

Within the virtual universe, Giant Axe, Lord of Chaos City, Lord of Void Gold, Lord of Desolate Mirror, Lord of Azure East, and others are all gathered in the Giant Axe Temple, watching this live broadcast.

Some other cosmic lords will also gradually enter.

This level of competition cannot be decided through a virtual universe, because it is a pure contest of secret techniques, skills, and laws.

In reality, treasures and divine bodies are involved, which cannot be simulated one by one.

"Forgive me, Lord of Ice Peak." Zhou Lin's body was covered in black armor; he hadn't just been familiarizing himself with the divine body during this time.

Taihao has cultivated both the Extinction Profound Body to the extreme below the True God level.

However, as Zhou Lin's strength increases, the assistance from these two unique skills will become less and less. For example, even at the final stage of the Extinction Profound Body, the divine body will only be comparable to the limit of a high-grade treasure.

Swish!
Zhou Lin swung the Dust Frost Sword, and a beam of azure sword light shot out, which then split into countless threads—a newly comprehended secret technique.

Sword light as thin as silk!

The dense, intricate threads swept across an area spanning trillions of kilometers, shattering space, planets, and stars into countless particles.

A burst of intense flames appeared, and countless particles flew about, but their most fundamental structure began to collapse, forming a void!

The chaotic void formed by the collapse of billions of particles is far more destructive than the Toya black hole, and is enough to annihilate the top cosmic overlord!
"Lord of the Ice Peak, how was my move?" Zhou Lin looked at the hundred-meter-long crater that had finally formed and was extremely satisfied.

"What a powerful move." The Ice Peak Lord's expression was solemn. Those top universe overlords had no ability to resist this move and would probably die instantly.

The spatial fragmentation over such a large area, with an immense amount of matter, ultimately resulted in only a golden-red void with a diameter of 100 meters.

The void twisted and distorted, even tearing the cosmic membrane open, but the chaotic airflow did not seep in.

"They actually opened up a connection with the Cosmic Sea?!" The Ice Peak Lord was shocked. Ordinary Cosmic Lords had to pass through the end of the spatial interlayer to get to the Cosmic Sea.

Zhou Lin's move directly shattered space, even exposing the deepest spatial interlayers, causing the chaotic distortion to naturally break the membrane.

"cut!"

The Lord of Ice Peak drew his sword, unleashing his power as a fourth-tier Universe Lord to its fullest extent. A storm of sword energy swept past, threatening to destroy the chaotic void.

But the sword energy storm was completely ineffective against this giant void.

Zhou Lin has the deepest understanding of the Chaos Divine Heart, has developed the most secret techniques, and is extremely powerful.

A void is a force that goes to extremes.

"Without using secret techniques, I can't even overcome his moves with pure brute force?" the Ice Peak Lord exclaimed in shock. His recent sword energy storm was, in essence, also the power of a fourth-tier Universe Lord.

The Lord of Ice Peaks made another move, unleashing his ultimate secret technique as the Lord of the Universe. Ice-blue light enveloped the area, attempting to forcibly dismantle the chaotic void.

The vortex had only been exposed to the icy blue light for a short time before it was completely dissolved.

Although Zhou Lin's chaotic hole was more destructive than the Toya black hole, its actual stability and mystery were worlds apart, which is why it was dismantled by the Ice Peak Lord's secret technique.

The icy blue light continued, and the ultimate secret technique used by the Lord of Ice Peak was called Ice Seal, which was his signature move from his early years.

Now, the Lord of Ice Peaks has his own strongest secret technique, but this freezing move is still his most powerful move.

Wherever the light reached, even the deepest layers of space and time were frozen. Zhou Lin felt as if his blood was about to freeze just by looking at it for a couple of seconds.

"You try this trick of mine too."

Zhou Lin's expression was solemn. He flipped out the Annihilation Blade with his left hand. He was using the Dust Frost Sword to perform the Chaos Secret Technique, but its power was not at its maximum. It was only with the help of the Annihilation Blade that it was at its strongest.

The Destruction Blade contains the Dao of Destruction.

Chi!
Zhou Lin slashed out with his sword while simultaneously thrusting his Dust Frost Sword forward. There were no fancy secret techniques involved; it was simply an extreme burst of power!
Rumble!
An incredibly powerful explosion occurred there, filling a full light-year with dazzling white light, and ripples spread in all directions, annihilating any matter that touched it.

If the Lord of Ice Peaks had not controlled spacetime and contained the scope of the destruction, it would have directly affected inhabited areas, spanning hundreds of thousands of light-years!
The aftershocks of the battle between the masters of the universe were so terrifying that they threatened to shatter galaxies and destroy the world.

"What a powerful secret technique." Zhou Lin did not fully withstand the attack. His face was covered in frost, and the countless particles in his body were somewhat sluggish.

The ultimate secret technique of the Lord of the Universe, when used by the Lord of Ice Peak, is far more powerful than that of the Lord of Heart Piercing.

If Zhou Lin had been a Universe Venerable before, and had tried to meet him with the strength of a Second Heaven Realm God, he would probably have been directly annihilated.

Fortunately, it was weakened first by the Extinction Profound Body Armor and then by the High-Grade Supreme Treasure Armor before it could reach his divine body, so his aura did not weaken in the slightest.

"The Annihilation Profound Body Armor has been weakened to some extent, while a high-grade supreme treasure armor can be weakened to one ten-thousandth of its original power." Zhou Lin accurately judged its power.

If you only use a high-grade treasure armor to withstand the attack, it would be good if the damage could be reduced to one-tenth.

The Lord of Ice Peak only wanted to test Zhou Lin's strength, so he wouldn't use his domain-type treasures or even palace-type treasures as he would in a real battle.

In real combat, things will be much more complicated.

"You are qualified to enter the Temple of the Divine God." The Lord of Ice Peak was a man of few words and had little interaction with the other lords of the universe.

But at this moment, he felt a sense of admiration for Zhou Lin.

Not long ago, the Lord of Ice Peak had to help Zhou Lin dismantle the spacetime trap, but now the two have actually begun to fight each other head-on.

At least the Lord of Ice Peaks had absolutely no chance of killing Zhou Lin.

To kill Zhou Lin, one would need to be a fifth-order universe master, and even then, it would require an extreme environment. He already possesses the qualifications to roam the universe.

In the virtual universe, all of humanity's current universe lords watched the live broadcast, including the Lord of Darkness.

The scene showed the Ice Peak Lord unleashing his ultimate secret technique, and Zhou Lin withstood the attack completely unharmed, leaving the dozen or so Universe Lords in the hall somewhat stunned.

Those affiliated with the Virtual Universe Company are alright; even the Universe Lords of the Universe First Bank and the Universe Galaxy Bank still only know Zhou Lin as a monstrous genius.

"Even if the Lord of Ice Peak uses his strongest secret technique and relies on a top-tier weapon, he should be able to annihilate about one percent of his divine body."

Lord of the Wilderness spoke first, saying, "Zhou Lin's performance is even stronger than that of the former Flame Emperor. He now truly possesses top-tier third-order strength."

Emperor Yan was able to reach the top of the third tier only by relying on the Flame God Halberd and the Calamity Armor. His actual combat strength was almost the same as that of the Lord of Heart Piercing.

No wonder the Mountain Guest was utterly disappointed in him. A dignified God-King had spent so much effort cultivating a third-order Universe Lord, yet he was still so self-righteous, looking down on everyone.

“His strength is even greater than mine.” Lord Youhou said slowly, “Even if Uncle-Master Bingfeng uses all his methods, he can’t do anything about it.”

As a member of the Virtual Universe Company, Lord Youhou naturally had to praise Zhou Lin: "I think he is perfectly capable of being the new universe master of humanity."

……

The crowd looked at each other in bewilderment; this was unprecedented in history.

A Venerable One of the Universe must be on equal footing with the Lord of the Universe. No matter what, Zhou Lin has not been able to control space and time, so he is still within the Venerable One category.

Just as everyone was silent, the Lord of Qingdong spoke up: "I acknowledge that he was able to enter the Giant Axe Temple. It was my fault for being blind."

He was the first to question Zhou Lin's status, but after Zhou Lin revealed his strength, the Lord of Qingdong quickly came to terms with reality.

The strength of a third-order universe master is nothing.

The important thing is that Zhou Lin was able to cultivate to this level of strength in such a short time, and with the body of a Universe Venerable, he could rival a third-order Universe Lord. This has set a record in the Primordial Universe.

But he still couldn't understand how Zhou Lin had cultivated to this level, not only was his speed fast, but his combat power was also so strong.

How long ago was that Genius Battle?
How come you're allowed to sit at the same table as us, the masters of the universe?
Is this reasonable?

If it weren't for the dual system, Zhou Lin, if he were to pursue the Chaos Void System alone during this period, would probably be comparable to a second-order universe master.

Only a fourth-level Celestial God can rival a third-level being. If one were to open up a Dao, there would be a qualitative change, and it wouldn't be impossible for one to rival a sixth-level Universe Lord.

"Is he truly the ruler of the universe now?"

"I think we can let it go. Top cosmic overlords are nothing but ants in front of him. Apart from not being able to control spacetime, what difference is there between him and us?"

"Then, Zhou Lin will be the nineteenth universe master of humankind."

Swish!
Zhou Lin and the Lord of Ice Peak also appeared one after the other inside the Giant Axe Temple.

"Lord of the North Star".

"Lord of the North Star".

When those cosmic lords saw Zhou Lin, they all greeted him warmly.

The Lord of Dragons said smugly, "The main reason why Beichen was able to cultivate so quickly is because he chose my Dragon Chaos Stele."

Normally, to become the master of the universe, one needs a direct vote at the highest level meeting. Zhou Lin had only received the treatment and authority before.

Even so, it still made the cosmic lords within the race dissatisfied.

The giant axe did not reveal that Zhou Lin was the instigator of the Thorn Ring Alliance incident, so those universe lords were puzzled as to why he had such authority.

This favoritism is a bit too much.

At this moment, Zhou Lin revealed his strength as a top-tier third-order universe master.

There is no need for any voting; everyone will recognize his status because the original universe is based on strength.
