Devouring the Stars: Rising from the Snow Eagle System

Chapter 147 Drawn into the Most Dangerous Area
At the edge of the vast fog, the Bone Lord's hammer directly drew Zhou Lin into the battle. He was also a fifth-tier Universe Lord with astonishing strength.

While fifth-order universe lords are extremely rare in the primordial universe, they are not uncommon in the cosmic sea, and some even possess supreme treasures.

If they were encountered by the cosmic rulers of the first cycle of reincarnation, a battle would easily break out even without supreme treasures; they had already reached a point of madness.

"Slaughter, only slaughter can achieve eternity."

The Lord of Bone Ghosts was filled with madness. He firmly believed that he could prove his Dao through killing. The feeling after killing an opponent was as if the opponent's life force had been stripped away.

Having lived through nearly three cycles of reincarnation, the Lord of Bone Netherworld had witnessed the deaths of people from previous cycles, who silently began to vanish.

In the end, not even a corpse was left.

It is unknown where this idea originated, but it is said that as long as enough beings are killed in subsequent reincarnations, one can attain eternity.

"Mad dog." Zhou Lin frowned. He also felt a bit disgusted with the Lord of the Demon Qi. Since he couldn't escape, he wanted to shift the blame to others. Wasn't he afraid that Zhou Lin and the Lord of the Bone Nether would join forces to kill him first?

when!
The Lord of Bone Nether slammed down his hammer, the blood-red hammer clashing fiercely with Zhou Lin's Causal Divine Spear. Both were somewhat shocked by the other's strength.

As the ruler of the universe in the first cycle of reincarnation, the Bone Lord's research into secret techniques is truly exceptional; every gesture he makes is imbued with the strongest secret techniques.

"You're really not a piece of trash. Killing you will definitely help me achieve greater eternity." The Lord of Bone Abyss was completely insane.

His fighting style was very unrestrained. The Skeleton Clan was able to become the peak race in the first cycle of reincarnation, so it must have had its own unique advantages.

The Lord of Bone and Netherworld once possessed a special life form, possessing an enormous divine body and a supreme treasure armor. Coupled with his fearless soul-based methods, he is considered an extremely troublesome cosmic lord in the cosmic sea.

Even those who are both fifth-order universe masters would have to fight a tough battle against him.

when! when!
However, Zhou Lin was even more troublesome. It was the first time he had used a spear in combat, and he clashed violently with the Bone Lord's hammer.

Even while they were still inside the clouds, their attacks caused spatial and temporal tremors.

The Lord of Demons watched in terror. Now, the Lord of Bone Nether's main target was Zhou Lin, and he tried to expedite his escape from the battlefield.

"Want to leave? There's no such thing as a free lunch."

Zhou Lin shouted coldly, and the endless destructive power below began to surge, actually forming a small world that was about to trap the Demon Lord.

The Demon Lord was entangled by this destructive power and could not increase his flight speed at all. Zhou Lin's eyes were indifferent as he pulled him into the battle, and no one could leave without him.

"A fourth-order universe lord, do you think you can just drag me down with you and let me go?" Zhou Lin's destructive power naturally couldn't cause any real damage to the Demon Lord.

But simply restricting him is fine.

The Lord of Demon Qi gritted his teeth. He dragged Zhou Lin into the mess, hoping that the other party could help him hold off the Lord of Bone Nether for a moment. He never expected to encounter a fifth-order universe lord.

"How could my luck be so bad?" The Lord of the Demon Realm was in despair. He had encountered two fifth-order universe lords in succession, which was no less than encountering the strongest being.

The three clashed fiercely. Zhou Lin wanted to free up his hands to deal with the Lord of the Demon Qi, but the Lord of the Bone Nether fought like a mad dog.

Unreasonable, widespread attack coverage.

"You will all die. None of you will leave today." The Bone Lord's eyes were bloodshot. He had already begun to call out to his clan, intending to surround and kill a fifth-order Universe Lord.

The Divine Eye Clan and the Skeleton Clan dare to provoke not only the Lord of the Universe, but even the strongest beings in the universe, and they run rampant in the cosmic sea.

We're taking advantage of your weakness.

“There are a few more threads of cause and effect.” Zhou Lin’s eyes were cold. He knew that the Lord of Bone Nether had no good intentions. He seemed crazy on the surface, but he was very shrewd.

Since everyone is at the fifth rank and possesses the ultimate treasure armor, even if one of them wins, it will only be by a single move or two; it's impossible to actually kill them.

Therefore, the Lord of Bone Ghosts had already prepared to call in reinforcements from the very beginning.

"I'm not playing with you anymore." Zhou Lin's consciousness expanded, and he had figured out the spacetime structure within the clouds. He would then wait for an opportunity to disengage and teleport away.

A fourth-order universe master is not qualified to make him take the blame.

"Trying to leave?!" The Lord of Bone Ghosts raised the great hammer in his hand and began to unleash the most terrifying secret technique he had created over three lifetimes.

The hammer was raised high, and in an instant, the clouds seemed to freeze, as if to imprison the Demon Lord and Zhou Lin in place, with overwhelming divine power surging.

Immediately afterwards, the Lord of Bone Ghosts swung his hammer down with a force as if splitting the heavens and earth.

"Break!" Zhou Lin roared, his body radiating destructive power, tearing apart the solidified spacetime. The Illusionary Star Spear appeared in his left hand, a true divine artifact of the Void Realm, while his right hand wielded the Causal Divine Spear!
The Phantom Star Spear pierced through the void and disappeared the moment it left the hand, having already entered the virtual world, a virtual world that transcends the real world.

boom!
The Divine Spear of Cause and Effect unleashed its secret technique, clashing with the Great Hammer. Then, the Illusionary Star Spear also flashed out from the void, striking the true form of the Lord of Bone and Netherworld.

With just one collision, the boundless clouds were completely dispersed, and the spacetime structure that Zhou Lin had just figured out was also disrupted, causing the entire area to explode wildly.

The clouds and mist were aroused to become even more violent. Although the Lord of the Demon Qi did not intervene in the two's attack, he was also drawn into this terrifying energy.

Rumble~
The clouds formed a tornado, spinning wildly at an unimaginable speed.

"Not good!" the Lord of the Bone Abyss exclaimed. The clouds and mist had gone completely berserk, and the structure of spacetime had become chaotic. He knew very well what this meant.

Within this area of ​​a million kilometers, there is a chaotic spacetime vortex.

"I have to get out." Zhou Lin tried to speed up, but his strength, which he was so proud of, seemed so insignificant at this moment, and he couldn't move even ten meters in a long time.

All three were being swept towards the center of the storm.

After a while...

Swish!
Zhou Lin felt as if he had entered another dimension, and was instantly teleported away by countless light-years, but he was certain that it was far more than tens of thousands of light-years away.

His teleportation limit is probably 10,000 light-years.

Spacetime was in disarray. After Zhou Lin regained control of his body, he began to look around at his surroundings. He had arrived at an unknown location, surrounded by different fragmented layers of spacetime.

“No wonder they say the Lord of the Universe is lost and it’s difficult for him to get out.” Zhou Lin looked around; he could also sense other causes and effects within the Flowing Heavy Mountain.

Following the cause-and-effect relationship, Zhou Lin could easily get out.

But at this moment, he also realized just how incredibly far away he was from the outer realms. The universe lords of the Hong Alliance were tens of millions of light-years away from him!

It was obvious that Zhou Lin had already arrived in the inner region of Liuchong Mountain. Only the natural environment of the universe could be so miraculous as to be able to teleport that far in just one second.

"What bad luck! Getting lost and ending up so far away." Zhou Lin frowned. It's rare for Liu Chongshan to get lost from the outer domain to the inner domain, something that happens only once every billion years.

The ubiquitous waters and seas of clouds may connect to hundreds of billions, or even trillions, of spacetime dimensions, with the vast majority located in the outer domain. The possibility of randomly getting lost and ending up in the inner domain is extremely small.

However, having already arrived in the inner domain, he quickly adjusted his mindset and prepared to first emerge from the spacetime layer to assess the environment. Once in the inner domain, the shattered spacetime layer wouldn't pose much of a danger; the other environments were extremely terrifying, with some locations capable of annihilating even the strongest beings in the universe.

There are also traces left by ancient civilizations, that is, by the powerful beings of the origin continent.

Unfortunately, these timelines were already damaged, making it impossible for Zhou Lin to travel to other locations again. Moreover, he had to leave as soon as possible, otherwise he would become increasingly lost.

Three months later...

Wow!
Zhou Lin traversed thousands of time-space layers and finally left the water and came to the outside world. However, this place was not what he had expected; instead, it was endlessly dazzling.

It was as if he were surrounded by billions of stars, with light everywhere, so dazzling that he felt somewhat disoriented.

Within the virtual universe.

"What the hell did you say?!" Giant Axe exclaimed in horror. "You've gotten lost in the inner region of Flowing Heavy Mountain, and the surroundings are incredibly bright, with transparent pillars glowing?!"

Zhou Lin nodded: "But I haven't sensed any dangerous areas yet. The temperature of those lights is only equivalent to the surface of a star, which is quite warm."

Zhou Lin could take a bath inside a star without any problem, let alone the light it emits, so he didn't quite understand the giant axe's expression.

“You are in the Heavenly Light Palace.” The giant axe sighed, “Prepare to abandon this clone. So far, none of the powerful beings who have been trapped in the Heavenly Light Palace, including the strongest beings in the universe, have ever escaped.”

A single, simple sentence is enough to illustrate the terror of the Heavenly Light Palace.

Each of the three forbidden zones has an extremely terrifying core area. For example, in the dim land of the Peak Realm, the Heavenly Light Palace is the core area of ​​the Flowing Mountain.

Viewed from a distance, the Heavenly Light Palace resembles a grand hall formed by millions of pillars stacked together, radiating endless light, hence its name.

These countless rays of light may seem harmless at the moment, but their most terrifying aspect is that there is absolutely no way out; even the strongest beings in the universe would be trapped and die within them.

The longer you stay, the higher the temperature of the light will become.

It's not that the temperature of the light is increasing; just like when a person stands under the sun, their skin temperature gradually rises, but there is a limit to this temperature.

The temperature in the Tianguang Palace has no limit, or rather, the limit is so high that no one can withstand it.

Even the strongest beings in the universe, clad in the most powerful armor, would die here. As for whether palace-type most powerful armors can withstand it, no one in the current three cycles of reincarnation has yet put it into practice.

The peak palace type cannot withstand it, and since the light is everywhere, it will be weakened by the palace, but it cannot be completely isolated.

"Abandoning the clone?!"

Zhou Lin would naturally not agree to such a thing. He was a special life that had been possessed, and although one ten-thousandth of his Water Bubble Divine Body remained in the human territory, he could cultivate it again.

However, the loss of his clone would affect the vast majority of treasures, true divine artifacts, and various supreme treasures, which would be an unacceptable price for Zhou Lin.

Zhou Lin will have to retrain the Shadowless Sword Body in the future, which will take a lot of time. He will never give up his clone unless absolutely necessary.

"Giant Axe, give me a copy of all the information about the Heavenly Light Palace," Zhou Lin said seriously. "I'm different from them; I definitely have a chance of getting out."

The reason why it is difficult to escape from the Heavenly Light Palace is that its endless light will block your senses, prevent your domain from expanding, and restrict space, making it impossible to teleport.

Even the vision of the strong is severely restricted.

"There's too little information about the Heavenly Light Palace; this is all the information our human race has gathered." The giant axe silently passed the information to Zhou Lin.

He knew Zhou Lin could trace cause and effect, but he still didn't think the other party had any chance of getting out. Many of the other universe lords who were trapped had clones.

Even with clones, and the ability to sense them, one still cannot escape.

However, even the giant axe couldn't shake Zhou Lin's confidence.

Zhou Lin quickly reviewed the information. His mind worked fast, and he had read through it all in the blink of an eye.

"The Heavenly Light Palace occupies an area of ​​only thirty light-years in diameter." Zhou Lin breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, but then he realized that it was quite large.

He couldn't teleport, and the interior was winding and twisting. He also couldn't maintain the speed of light. According to his perception of external cause and effect, the place he was currently in was probably still very deep.

Based on past data, the strongest being in the universe has only lasted a maximum of eighty-five years, and even then, it was only with the protection of the most powerful treasure armor.

According to the most optimistic calculation, Zhou Lin should be able to last for seventy years, but if he doesn't get lost along the way, he won't be able to get out.

Moreover, the interior is truly a maze, with the same layout everywhere. In fact, the longer you stay, the more blurred your perception of your clone becomes.

"I absolutely cannot die here." Zhou Lin sensed the cause and effect of the Bone Nether Lord, who was about tens of thousands of light-years away from him. It seemed that the other party had also lost his way in the inner domain.

The Lord of the Demon Realm is quite lucky; he is still in the outer realms.

He moved towards the direction of the Bone Lord, thinking that as long as he left the Heavenly Light Palace, the Giant Axe would come to his rescue.

Whoosh!
Zhou Lin's confidence in breaking free stemmed from his cultivation of the Shadowless Sword Body, which shrouded his body in a layer of destructive energy, allowing him to effectively absorb this heat wave.

For most of the time, at least, the heat wave did not bother him.

Only when the Shadowless Sword Body could no longer absorb the heat would this terrifying temperature affect Zhou Lin's perception. He was thinking at the same time as he flew.

"If I just keep flying straight, I'll never get out." Zhou Lin hadn't thought of any other way, so he was flying aimlessly.

Ahead, the same monotonous light still shines.

Those pillars truly never go out, as if they possess inexhaustible energy, having burned through countless cycles of reincarnation, existing eternally.

Soon, Zhou Lin flew for a full thirty years.

The heat wave surrounding him grew increasingly intense, and even the Shadowless Sword Body couldn't absorb it all, beginning to affect the Blazing Fire Origin Armor.

Even after being reduced to one ten-thousandth of its original size, Zhou Lin still felt his skin getting slightly hot. In the primordial universe, this temperature would have been enough to incinerate most powerful beings.

"If I keep flying like this, I might die here." Zhou Lin gritted his teeth, stopped flying, and began to think about his way out.

"Receive the inheritance of the Voidwalker?!" That was the first thing Zhou Lin thought of. It could make his divine body incredibly resilient, but the chance of failure was also very high.

Zhou Lin had never received such a system inheritance before, and he guessed that it would take him to a mysterious place, but failure would also result in death.

If he dies, he will lose the opportunity to receive the inheritance. Zhou Lin absolutely cannot accept this outcome; he would rather die here.

Even Zhou Lin at this point wouldn't dare say he's 100% certain.

He would only accept the Voidwalker's legacy when he had no other choice.
