Devouring the Stars: Rising from the Snow Eagle System

Chapter 155 A Heart Like a Knife Severes Karma
After hearing the story of the Divine Eye God, Zhou Lin was deeply moved.

Many true gods and rulers of the universe have been slow to reach the level of "a mind as sharp as a knife" because they attained enlightenment too early and lived too long.

God the Eye has gone from being full of vigor to being utterly dejected.

His spirit had already broken down, and he had long lost his edge.

Zhou Lin did not live a long life, but he made great strides in his cultivation, creating one myth after another and even changing the pattern of the universe.

"The road ahead will be long. I will break through the cycle of reincarnation, reach the ultimate level, become a God Emperor, break free from the cage, and take control of my destiny. What I need to do is to overcome any difficulties I encounter, with a heart as sharp as a knife, to cut through all illusions!"

Zhou Lin introspected his own divine heart.

It was vastly different from before; the shimmering light was now surrounded by substantial sharpness, which was the legendary second level of mental will.

My heart is like a knife!

No matter how many hardships and obstacles lie ahead, Zhou Lin will forge ahead fearlessly.

If one can reach this stage, future cultivation will be promising. Many systems that do not emphasize the mind and will may remain at this level even in the Chaos Realm.

Zhou Lin's eyes suddenly snapped open, and the void in front of him trembled, an invisible force sweeping across billions of kilometers, trillions of kilometers, and even further...

With his mind as sharp as a knife, Zhou Lin's will descending into the mortal world possessed the power of a full-force attack from an ordinary universe master, directly elevating his will to the peak of the universe's strongest being.

Moreover, his will will no longer have any barriers, and it will be easy for him to persist in cultivation and reach the level of an eternal true god.

The system of rules and principles still places great emphasis on the level of mind and will.

"From now on, time will not shake my resolve. If the gods of the Fourth Heaven can achieve this, they may live until the end of the cosmic era."

Before Zhou Lin was a miniature universe of the giant axe. As his clone transformed his mind and will, his divine power avatar and his true self also unleashed their own will-based attacks.

Giant Axe was alright; he had already gotten used to Zhou Lin's fluctuations in will.

The Divine Eye True Lord was extremely shocked. He had just finished recounting his glorious years from every angle when he saw Zhou Lin close his eyes and fall into deep thought.

I originally thought that Zhou Lin was impressed by his deeds, after all, they were a glorious history of an entire clan.

But just seconds later, Zhou Lin, this divine avatar, was suddenly surrounded by sharp edges of will. The Divine Eye True Lord was certain that it was the power of will.

Every glimmer of will is like a knife.

The sharpness of his will was nothing to him, but it was comparable to the full-force attack of an ordinary universe master, something that even the God-Eye True Lord had never heard of.

"Since when can attacks of will be so easily brought into reality and interfered with?" The Divine Eye True Lord couldn't imagine how terrifying Zhou Lin's move would be if it were aimed at the will.

With just one secret technique of willpower, Zhou Lin could sweep away the willpower of ordinary universe masters; only the ultimate willpower of universe masters could probably prevent them from falling into a coma.

boom!
The sharp edge of its will erupted wildly, sweeping across a region of trillions of kilometers in the sky, instantly causing the world to lose its color, like an endless storm that had inexplicably arisen.

The divine incarnation should not have such power, but the true body can transfer power through cause and effect, ensuring that all impacts of will are unleashed.

"Freeze," the Divine Eye True Lord said softly, and the massive storm spanning trillions of kilometers froze completely before dissipating like a gentle breeze.

This is his miniature universe; even tenth-order power can dissipate in the blink of an eye.

"I lost my composure a bit. My willpower surged just now. I'm sorry." Zhou Lin smiled apologetically, but how could he possibly lose control of his willpower?

It is simply to be shown to God with His divine eye.

Let him understand what makes him different from others, and whether he is worthy of being given these top-grade treasures.

Even the Star Lord was somewhat shocked. When Zhou Lin fought him before, he also used his will, but it was nowhere near as terrifying as this.

His will was like a knife, though Zhou Lin's will was still within the realm of the strongest.

However, the effects they produce are quite different.

If the will of the past was made of iron, the will of the present is made of titanium alloy. When the divine heart of the true self releases its impact, even the will of an ordinary universe master will be knocked unconscious!
"Even his divine avatar can unleash such a shock of will?" Star Lord asked telepathically. "Divine Eye, this is your miniature universe, your judgment is correct."

"It is indeed a shock to the will, and it can also interfere with reality at will." The Divine Eye True Lord replied, "This Lord of the Northern Star is quite extraordinary."

Zhou Lin's status in their hearts rose rapidly.

Even the Allah himself could not achieve this. His will could create a storm spanning trillions of kilometers. Where in the outside world would anyone dare to imagine such a thing?
If Zhou Lin were to unleash his full power, his Will Storm could destroy a massive continent like the Rasao World; such a sight would be truly awe-inspiring.

A moment later, the Star Lord took out three supreme treasures and gave them to Zhou Lin.

"One is a top-tier treasure of the realm category, one is a top-tier treasure of the palace category, and this sword is the finest among top-tier treasures." The Star Lord smiled and said, "Since your weapon is damaged, I'll compensate you with another weapon."

Zhou Lin didn't really care about his weapons. Both of his spears were damaged to some extent, but the internal mechanisms were unaffected.

The impact of the battle is not important; what matters is that it cannot affect his enlightenment.

The secret technique of cause and effect no longer requires the aid of a true divine artifact.

"Thank you so much." Zhou Lin wasn't embarrassed at all and took the treasure with his hand: "I would like to explore your small universe more, Divine Eye True Lord. I wonder if that's convenient?"

“Convenient, of course convenient.” The Divine Eye True Lord smiled: “I’ll just call the Lord of the Universe to accompany you.”

Zhou Lin was calculating the population size within the Divine Eye Clan's miniature universe.

After the Great Destruction of the primordial universe, all the population could only migrate to smaller universes to survive. At that time, there was no such thing as a divine kingdom or humankind.

Even the divine kingdom of the Lord of the Universe can be shattered.

In terms of population density, the small universe is many times more exaggerated than the universe nation.

A typical universe nation is only about 1.6 million light-years in diameter.

A small universe is 1 million light-years wide, but it rarely contains void.

The Divine Eye Clan multiplied and thrived, and the population of this small universe was equivalent to that of hundreds of human universe nations.

"How wonderful it would be if I could come here one day to spread my faith," Zhou Lin thought to himself, considering how many smaller universes there were in this cosmic sea, and even the holy land universes.

Small universes are almost always limited to the limits that living beings can withstand.

Swish!
The Lord of the Pure Eyes, dressed in white robes, was teleported over.

A fifth-order universe master and a disciple of the Divine Eye True Lord, he has a formidable reputation among the universe masters of the Divine Eye Clan, and is even more troublesome than the Five Chaos Masters.

Of course, the current fifth-order universe master is a joke to Zhou Lin.

"Teacher." The Lord of the Pure Eyes bowed first.

The Divine Eye True Lord waved his hand: "No need for formalities. This is the Lord of the North Star of humanity. He is here as a guest of my clan. Please show him around."

Privately, he also told the Lord of the Pure Eyes that Zhou Lin had a chance to survive this cycle of reincarnation, and that their Divine Eye Clan had placed their bets on Zhou Lin.

The Lord of the Pure Eye was filled with a myriad of thoughts. In his memory, his teacher was always so spirited and capable of holding up the sky even if it collapsed. This action could only mean that even the Lord of the Divine Eye was not confident in his own eternity.

Therefore, we must place our hopes on others.

"Lord of the Northern Star, please." The Lord of the Pure Eyes said politely. ...

Meanwhile, after obtaining the black gourd, the clone was rushing towards the Divine Eye Clan, but his travel speed was still much slower than that of the Star Lord.

The original entity quietly returned to the primordial universe.

"A cause and effect needs to be resolved." Zhou Lin would never forget that it was the Lord of the Demon Qi who brought the Lord of the Bone Netherworld here, dragging him into the great battle, but in the end, he himself escaped with his life.

After teetering on the brink of death in the Heavenly Light Palace for so many years, even forcing Zhou Lin to accept the Void Walker's inheritance, he even encountered the Star Lord after emerging from the palace.

If the Divine Eye Clan goes mad, Zhou Lin will have to enter the danger zone.

Fortunately, God the Seventh is pragmatic.

This cause and effect cannot be erased by compensation, not even if the Lord of the Demon Realm gives Zhou Lin a supreme treasure.

If there is substantial hatred, then it must be retaliated as soon as possible; otherwise, this karmic entanglement will hinder Zhou Lin's cultivation progress.

Returning to the primordial universe, Zhou Lin felt very different from before.

He could already feel that subtle pressure.

The primordial universe was once very close to him because Zhou Lin was its child, and there was still a chance for him to grow up and give back to it.

However, it now carries a sense of unfamiliarity, because Zhou Lin's body is already the body of a Void Walker, which is the power of the chaotic void.

"Whether it's unfamiliar or close, it doesn't matter to me. It will always need my help." Zhou Lin stopped worrying and quickly left through the time-space portal.

According to the cause-and-effect tracing, the Lord of the Demon King is currently in his clan's territory.

If it were at the Northern Frontier Alliance headquarters, it would be extremely difficult for Zhou Lin to kill the other party. The Lord of the Star River and others could simply entangle him. Perhaps that elusive Alliance Leader would also be there.

In the primordial universe, Zhou Lin ultimately had no way to retrieve the black gourd.

That forbidden power is terrifying; it is absolutely forbidden by the very origin of the primordial universe.

……

The Lunar Tide Star Region, nearly a trillion light-years away from human territory.

This star field has a large number of mineral-rich planets, making it an extremely resource-rich place that ordinary universe-master races simply cannot occupy.

The Lord of the Demon Realm is a top-tier fourth-order power, which is why he is qualified to take over the territory, but he also has to give 20% of the resources to the Northern Frontier Alliance.

In the center of the Moon Tide Starfield lies a life-bearing planet with a diameter of tens of millions of kilometers, named God Star. It was created by the Lord of Demon Qi and is home to countless billions of living beings.

Although the Lord of the Demon Qi was born into a special life form, he was adopted by an immortal of the Qu Yan clan when he was young. After the immortal raised him, he was taken in as a disciple by the clan leader at the time.

He has now become the clan leader, and the Lord of Yaoqi truly considers himself a member of the Quyan clan.

At the highest point of the Divine Star, the Lord of the Demonic Qi sat cross-legged on a silver stone bed.

"When I first encountered the Lord of Bone Nether, it was fortunate that the Lord of the Strange Universe appeared; otherwise, I wouldn't even have had the chance to be drawn into the spacetime tunnel."

The Lord of the Demon Realm still feels lingering fear when he recalls the battle that day.

If it were just him fighting the Lord of Bone Nether, his attack power would not be enough to affect spacetime, and the other party could definitely kill him if given the time.

The Skeleton Clan is a notoriously domineering race that has been locked in a fierce battle with the Divine Eye Clan for many years.

After the Lord of the Demonic Qi left the Cosmic Sea, he also heard the news of the death of the Lord of the Bone Netherworld.

Swish!
In the void outside the divine star, Zhou Lin's figure appeared from the space-time tunnel.

Even the Lord of the Demon Realm, who controls a space-time region, could not detect Zhou Lin, who had merged into the void; his aura was now completely concealed.

The figure was wearing a black cloak, and the exposed skin was completely purple, a stark contrast to the image shown before. He wasn't even carrying a weapon.

Zhou Lin is a Void Walker, and he can use the weapon's aura when he makes a move.

As a result, no one could be sure of his true identity.

"A fourth-order universe master is quite a figure in the primordial universe; he's practically impossible to kill except in a coordinated attack," Zhou Lin murmured.

Any fourth-order universe lord has a very high status, while a third-order lord is still vulnerable to being killed. If a star lord is willing to pay the price, he can kill an ordinary third-order lord.

As for the fourth-order universe masters, even the strongest beings in the universe would find it unrealistic to kill them.

In particular, the Lord of the Demon Realm must possess a palace-type treasure, making it extremely difficult to kill him. Even for someone with Zhou Lin's sixth-tier strength, it would be almost impossible.

However, Zhou Lin had already considered the possibility before he arrived. He could use causality to detect the whereabouts of the two divine bodies of the Demon Lord, so the way to break the deadlock was equally simple.

Chi!
A gray blade of light ripped through the void, and the moment Zhou Lin made his move, both he and the Fiend arrived directly in front of the Demon Lord, unleashing a tremendous burst of power!

The Lord of the Universe reacted with incredible speed, and the Lord of the Demon Realm quickly drew his weapon to retaliate.

when!
This extremely terrifying power made his whole body go numb.

The aftershocks of their battle spread, and Zhou Lin lightly tapped his left foot to completely stop them. Otherwise, this planet, and even a much wider area, would have been annihilated. He then threw a punch at the Lord of the Demon Realm.

Boom!
The punch landed on the Demon Lord's chest; the seemingly simple fist was actually impossible to stop.

Rumble!
The temple of the Demon Lord collapsed, and he was blasted away by Zhou Lin's punch. His control over time and space was a complete joke, and then the surrounding time and space began to change.

The entire exchange lasted less than 0.01 seconds. The Demon Lord didn't even have time to cast a spatial blockade before Zhou Lin teleported him to an uninhabited star system.

The next second, the surrounding space was completely sealed off.

……

At the headquarters of the Northern Frontier Alliance, the avatar of the Demon Lord burst through the door with a bang: "Lord of the Star River, Lord of the Black Lotus, come to the Moon Tide Star Domain to save me!"

Without hesitation, the two Star Lords immediately followed the Demon Lord's clone and used the Divine Kingdom Teleportation to rush to the Moon Tide Star Region at the fastest speed.

Although the Lord of the Demon Realm has clones, all his possessions are on his main body, and he cannot afford to lose a large number of his treasures.

"What kind of secret technique is this?!" The Lord of the Demon Realm looked around, as if he had entered an eternal darkness, empty and devoid of anything. He then took out a high-grade treasure of the palace type.

High-level palace-type treasures are so powerful that even the strongest beings in the universe would find them difficult to destroy.

He was afraid that Zhou Lin would suppress him.

"Do you have a tortoise shell?" Zhou Lin was just preparing his innate secret technique for the ultimate moment when he didn't expect the Lord of the Demon Clan to actually sneak into the palace.

His top-tier sixth-order strength makes him difficult to suppress.

But this was still within Zhou Lin's expectations. How could a fourth-order universe master not have some palace-type treasures on him? He wouldn't even care if he took out a top-tier palace.

Zhou Lin was confident in killing the Demon Lord in the primordial universe because he had an avatar.

The primordial universe did not isolate cause and effect, nor did it utilize the methods of cause and effect.
