Devouring the Stars: Rising from the Snow Eagle System

Chapter 157 Taking Down the Lord of Banff While He Was at It
In the primordial universe, without the means of cause and effect, a weak clone would be unlucky to encounter Zhou Lin, as all the damage would affect the original body.

The difference between the Demon Lord's clone and his true divine body is subtle. The clone's armor is extremely ordinary, and even with Zhou Lin's use of the Weapon Fiend technique, it offers no real defense.

To defend against the piercing attack of the Soldier's Fiend, you need at least a top-tier treasure.

Each strike annihilated 15 percent of the clone's divine body, and the final, accumulated explosion became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Even though his clone only had 30% of its divine body remaining, Zhou Lin still managed to direct the vast majority of the explosive power onto his main body. This was the first time the Demon Lord had ever faced such a method.

Too weird.

In his final moments, the Demon Lord finally realized how Zhou Lin had attacked him, and that his clone had become the fatal key.

With a difference of two levels of strength, without the Supreme Armor, he could basically be killed instantly.

If you have a treasure, look at its configuration; the configuration determines how long it can last.

"No, Yaoqi is dead." The Lord of the Black Lotus suddenly turned to look at the Lord of the Star River: "His students have found the headquarters."

"he died?"

Even the usually composed Lord of the Galaxy was shocked: "Wasn't he in the palace? How could he be dead? And it wasn't his clone that died?"

The two looked at Zhou Lin in shock.

The black robes and purple skin exuded an aura that made them extremely uncomfortable; it was the power of chaotic void, cold and filled with a destructive aura.

It was completely different from Zhou Lin's original destructive power.

There is no such person in the original universe. At least in the knowledge of the Lord of the Star River, probably only the mysterious and unpredictable Lord of the North Star can compare with him.

But even the Lord of Beichen should be far inferior to him.

"With your strength, you must be someone of considerable ability," the Lord of the Star River asked in a hoarse voice.

With the Lord of the Black Lotus by his side, even the Lord of the Star River probably wouldn't have had the courage to face Zhou Lin directly. It's true that a sixth-order power could destroy a high-level palace, but it would take time.

The crucial point is that the palace is still intact, yet the Demon Lord inside died just like that?
It's not that fourth-order universe masters haven't died in the primordial universe, but it was always done through encirclement and suppression. To kill them individually, the strongest one must be sealed away and brought into a smaller universe.

The space was sealed off, and although Zhou Lin was a Void Walker, he could not force his way into the spacetime tunnel.

"Do you want to avenge him?" Zhou Lin's voice sounded icy cold, making everyone feel uncomfortable.

The Lord of the Star River and the Lord of the Black Lotus exchanged a glance, then activated their virtual world recording. Their speed increased dramatically as they brandished their weapons and attacked Zhou Lin.

Both of them directly unleashed the strongest fusion technique.

The river under the night, and the realm of lotus blossoms.

A large number of black lotuses bloomed, each possessing fifth-order power, crushing the void like a millstone, turning everything within hundreds of billions of kilometers into a stream of particles.

And there is that endless, dazzling river rolling on.

"These two are indeed worthy of being the leaders of the Northern Frontier Alliance." Zhou Lin almost laughed as he looked at them; this kind of attack had no effect on him whatsoever.

Do you think the Lord of the Star River and the others don't know this? In this situation, the best thing to do is to use ordinary secret techniques to entangle Zhou Lin, rather than exhaust themselves.

Keep Zhou Lin occupied until the leader of the Northern Frontier Alliance arrives.

However, they did not inform the leader of the Northern Frontier Alliance at all, because the Lord of the Demon King was already dead, and it was meaningless to avenge a dead man.

If there are other universe lords in his race, the two of them will notify the leader of the Northern Frontier Alliance. As for whether that strongest person can come, it depends on his mood.

The way to handle things that are valuable and those that are not is completely different.

The two of them are acting this way purely to make it easier to explain themselves within the alliance later. Otherwise, if the other side kills the Demon Lord and you do nothing to let him go, the other races will definitely be disheartened.

Joining the Northern Frontier Alliance was about having an organization so that someone could protect you if something went wrong.

Zhou Lin unleashed a surge of weapon energy from both hands simultaneously. This strange power seemed completely out of place in the primordial universe. He then swung both hands at the same time, easily deflecting the attacks from the two men.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
The three fought fiercely in this void, none of them using their domain suppression abilities.

The battle lasted for about ten minutes. The Lord of the Black Lotus feigned an opening and was blasted away by Zhou Lin. The Lord of the Star River was naturally unable to entangle his opponent on his own.

Zhou Lin was very sensible and instantly accelerated into the dark universe.

The three of them understood each other without saying a word.

Watching the other's departing figure, the Lord of the Star River and the Lord of the Black Lotus also closed their virtual world records.

With this combat footage, they can give an explanation to the countless ethnic groups in the Northern Frontier Alliance.

The Lord of the Star River found it very strange. He wondered what was going on in this primordial universe, and how there were so many powerful beings with bizarre methods.

……

After this cause and effect was eliminated, Zhou Lin himself obediently returned to the Cosmic Sea, because if he wanted to absorb the power of the chaotic void to cultivate, he could not stay in the primordial universe.

That cold power was feared by the very origin of the primordial universe.

As for the Northern Frontier Alliance, there will be a reshuffling and redistribution of resources. The star field occupied by the Demon Lord is definitely not qualified to dominate it now.

Countless people will be abandoned, as they will migrate to secret cosmic realms or live in some star system.

It's simply impossible to dominate a star system like we used to.

In the small universe of the Divine Eye Clan, Zhou Lin's divine power avatar followed the Lord of the Pure Eye to many places. Many planets from their previous reincarnation era, along with their buildings, were moved in intact.

Different civilizations will spark different ideas, but unfortunately, the Divine Eye Clan's cultivation methods and many secret techniques are no different from those of others.

Zhou Lin would occasionally ask questions, and the Lord of the Pure Eye would explain them to him.

"The competition within your race is far more intense than that among humans," Zhou Lin remarked. "No wonder you were able to forge the strongest beings from the seven universes."

Even in smaller universes, the God-Eyes maintain their old system; they fight for God and frequently engage in large-scale battles.

This was true in the primordial universe; all beings below the level of the Cosmic Sovereign were constantly at war.

“Our Divine Eye Clan has many powerful individuals. If given another chance in a cycle of reincarnation, even more of the strongest beings in the universe will be born.” The Lord of the Pure Eye sighed, “I am only a hair’s breadth away from the Lord of the Five Chaos.”

Most of the powerful members of the Divine Eye Clan have fought their way through blood and fire, which is why they all act so domineeringly.

Different worlds have different rules for cultivators.

But there is one thing in common: it forces everyone to keep moving forward.

"My true form is almost here, so there's no need for you to continue following me."

Zhou Lin smiled and said, "Lord of the Pure Eye, don't give up hope. You might become the strongest in the universe someday, or even reach higher levels." He had spent a few days with the Lord of the Pure Eye and they got along quite well.

Zhou Lin wasn't the type who, before transmigrating, read the original novel and thought the Divine Eye Clan was too hateful. The Lord of the Pure Eye and the Lord of the Five Chaos offended Luo Feng and even wanted to exterminate the human race, so he felt he had to target them.

In fact, Luo Feng was not even born yet, but the Divine Eye Clan is now treating him as an honored guest, giving him maps and treasures, and even having the Lord of the Pure Eyes act as his guide.

Even if Luo Feng is born in the future, given Zhou Lin's current relationship with the Divine Eye Clan, the Lord of the Five Chaos would have to greet Luo Feng with a smile and even take the initiative to protect him.

"Is there still a possibility?" The Lord of the Pure Eyes did not understand Zhou Lin's meaning.

He felt that Zhou Lin was just comforting him, that even the two great holy land universes could no longer produce the strongest being in the universe, and that even the Lord of the Universe had to die before someone could be replaced.

Swish!
Zhou Lin's divine power avatar vanished instantly, teleported to the outer void by the Divine Eye True Lord.

The three treasures given to Zhou Lin by the Divine Eye Clan were a domain-type treasure called Myriad Manifestations Sea and a palace-type treasure called Golden Flame Palace. Both of them had defensive and sealing functions. The weapons were meaningless to Zhou Lin, so he exchanged them for true divine artifacts in the system.

The true artifact dropped a giant hammer containing the Dao of Matter.

The Myriad Seas are called seas, but they contain a large number of substances with various properties.

It contains all the elements: metal, wood, water, fire, earth; light, lightning, and wind.

This is a supreme treasure of the peak realm, which is exactly the treasure Zhou Lin needs most right now. With this, he can easily suppress most opponents, and then he can pair it with the black gourd.

Over the years, the system has given out many rewards, and some have even been able to sense the Dao at the level of a true god-ruler, but unfortunately, higher levels have never been achieved.

Zhou Lin plans to steadily improve his strength first, at least to the level of a universe master, and then expand his influence in the human realm after the dual systems are superimposed.

Human territory is not very large, with a total area of ​​only 1008 universe countries. According to the current proportion, once it is fully expanded, it should be able to reliably drop rewards of True God Sovereign - Void God Emerging Realm.

As for higher realms such as Unity, Chaos, and even Cosmic God.

That would probably have to spread throughout the entire primordial universe, and even to many smaller universes within the cosmic ocean.

"What I lack most right now is a true artifact of the Dao of Cause and Effect or the Dao of the Void Realm." Zhou Lin is now single-mindedly focused on finding an ultimate treasure.

Or a large number of top-tier treasures would also be acceptable.

He wanted to see what the Dao of Cause and Effect at the Sovereign level was like; otherwise, it would be difficult to comprehend the Dao at the Sovereign level by relying solely on his own closed-door approach.

Dongbo Xueying could open up the Dao in tens of millions of years when he started cultivating from the mortal realm, but it took him more than ten times longer to advance to the level of a True God Sovereign.

Luo Feng could become the master of the universe in just over ten epochs of time, but the time it took to become the strongest being in the universe was even longer.

Even if he doesn't take the path of divine power, it will still take him an extremely long time to succeed. In the world of Jin, it would be very difficult for a bunch of Law Masters to become True Gods.

This step is extremely difficult.

Zhou Lin received the reward of cultivating in his dream, but he also wanted to improve himself as much as possible before using it.

At least for now, he's cultivating in his dream world. He doesn't have the confidence to become a master after hundreds of millions of years. At most, he can open up two other paths.

Swish!
Zhou Lin entered the spacetime tunnel and began heading towards Liuchong Mountain at an extremely fast speed. He planned to deal with several universe masters from the original universe first.

The main body has already used the identity of the Voidwalker to assassinate, an identity that appeared in the primordial universe, so Zhou Lin's clone does not intend to use it again.

"The robes of the Bloodblade Master."

Zhou Lin took out the dark red robe and put it on. Instantly, his aura changed, and when he was in a frenzy, he could release a sky full of blood energy.

When they hide, they can remain undetected, only slightly inferior to the Voidwalker.

According to Zhou Lin's own understanding of cause and effect, it means that all unfavorable causes and effects need to be eliminated, otherwise one cannot go far on this path.

If you make enemies with other cultivators who are stronger than you, it's not a big deal if you can't get revenge in 100,000 or 1 million years, but what about 100,000 or 1 million epochs?
Being constantly influenced by cause and effect makes it difficult to make progress. Therefore, since Zhou Lin has chosen this path, he must strive to become the strongest and sweep away all his opponents.

During the journey, Zhou Lin himself was focused on enlightenment, immersing himself entirely in the process of cultivation.

Spiritual practice doesn't mean you have to choose whichever path is the strongest.

Zhou Lin genuinely loves the paths of cause and effect, the illusory realm, the void, and even the world, which is why he chose these directions to cultivate.

Luo Feng's path of birth and death is very strong. Even Zhou Lin knows which way to cultivate, but if he really tries to seize such an opportunity, he can't go far.

……

Seven days later.

Beyond the Flowing Mountains.

Looking at the countless mountains, Zhou Lin's feelings were completely different.

Not many years ago, he was cautious when he stepped into this place, but now he carries a map given to him by the Divine Eye Clan and has completely different strength.

The fifth and sixth orders seem to differ by only one order.

But Zhou Lin now possesses the physical body of a Void Walker, along with a weapon formed from the power of the chaotic void, a supreme treasure of the peak domain type, a supreme treasure of the peak palace type, and the protective treasure, the Black Gourd.

"Lord Banff, this little ant is also in Liuchong Mountain." Zhou Lin recalled that the other party had been sent to the Ancestral God Sect to try to assassinate him.

These are all causes and effects, and Zhou Lin must dissolve them all.

Ants are nothing to worry about; a mere thought can annihilate them. The opening realm of the Path of Cause and Effect is completely comparable to a normal true god in terms of long-distance annihilation.

The thought of killing a god of the Second Heaven has the karmic consequence of violating an oath, which can kill a god of the Third Heaven.

……

At this moment, the Lord of Banff is still in the water, quietly waiting for the treasure to be born. His physical attacks are weak, and his strongest means is soul attacks.

With this kind of strength, he wouldn't dare to venture deep into the inner domain of the cosmic sea. Even in the outer domain, he would have to be extremely cautious, waiting quietly at one point for decades or even centuries.

"The Zerg's Banff Overlord is quite a formidable opponent."

On the rocks, there were several other universe lords, none of whom were particularly powerful, which is why they were waiting in areas with low danger.

Even if only one top-tier treasure appears, or enough high-level treasures, they can exchange them within their clan.

wow~
Suddenly, a pair of large, white hands appeared in the water, which then expanded to millions of kilometers in size, crushing all the terrain in their path, and reaching straight for the Lord of Banff.

"What is this thing?!" the Lord of Banff exclaimed in shock and anger, then immediately flew towards the outside world, wondering if it was some kind of terrain feature.
Just like in the Peak Realm, there are creatures like the Lava Demon God, which can even cause the strongest beings in the universe to flee in panic.

Zhou Lin's large hand appeared slow, but it steadily followed behind the Lord of Banff.
