Devouring the Stars: Rising from the Snow Eagle System

Chapter 165 The True Void God
boom!
As Gushaluo struck down with his palm, the void within trillions of kilometers began to crack, and streaks of blood-red light seeped out, heading towards all the true gods.

"Brother, what do you mean by this?!" the man in the green robe exclaimed. He and Gu Shaluo were born together at the beginning of the era and had a very good relationship.

"Shut up, this is none of your business!" Gu Shaluo coldly rebuked, "I won't touch my brothers no matter what, so stay quiet and move aside!"

The two men in green robes immediately fell silent. Since Gu Shaluo still regarded them as brothers, they quietly went to stay on a star in a corner.

At this moment, those true gods were all powerless to fight anymore. The Devouring System did not have the ability to create clones, except for a few true god rulers who were special life forms and had other clones that came out to resist.

Rumble!
At this moment, Gushaluo was like the origin of the universe. He was trying his best to communicate with the power of the origin, and his power quickly climbed to the peak of the tenth level!
If it were just a simple devouring system, even if Gu Shaluo had some research on the rules, he wouldn't be able to unleash tenth-tier combat power. The threat he posed to Zhou Lin was because he could communicate with the power of the origin!
Zhou Lin originally thought that this universe was created by a powerful being, but the fact that Gu Shaluo could cultivate the Universe Messenger System shows that the universe evolved naturally.

His aura was vast and boundless. In the past, Gu Shaluo only displayed strength slightly stronger than other True God Rulers, but now he was unleashing his full power!
The resistance of the others seemed so ridiculous at this moment, as they were instantly swallowed up by Gushaluo's attack, and then their bodies were dragged to the center of the great formation and exploded into blood mist.

"Gushaluo, you traitor!"

“You are not human, Gushaluo. We sacrifice ourselves to fight against the enemy, while you reap the benefits.”

Those true gods were filled with righteous indignation, burning their last strength to resist the bloodline of the ancient gods, unwilling to become stepping stones.

Gu Shaluo smiled slightly: "Who told you to be so stupid? You can't even see through my true strength."

The strength of these true god rulers is basically equivalent to the eighth level of the original universe. Some stronger ones may have the top strength of the eighth level. Gu Shaluo usually shows the strength of the ninth level.

Moreover, because their moves are too clumsy and many of their secret techniques are inferior to those of the Chaos City Lord, they would be evenly matched with a seventh-level True God of the Primordial Universe in actual combat.

The formation's ability to possess the power of a Void God is entirely due to the blessing of the Stone Pillar Forest.

Under normal circumstances, even if Gushaluo used all his strength, he would not be able to capture so many true gods in one fell swoop. His teleportation could only be done in his lair.

When traveling to other parts of the universe, his travel speed is about the same as that of Dongbo Xueying when he first opened up the path.

"They're all just my food."

Gu Shaluo held a ball of golden light in his hand. He used to want order in the Thousand Prisons Universe because sustainable development was the most suitable path, but now it was no longer necessary.

If given the chance to devour all the true gods in one go, Gushaluo would naturally not give it up.

Without Zhou Lin's arrival, how could he have had the opportunity to gather all the true gods together, and how could he have made them exhaust their life force to fight against their opponent?

These true gods have no strength left to resist.

Even trying to run away is a pipe dream!

"Hahahaha!" Gu Shaluo suddenly burst into laughter. He rose into the air like a banished immortal, his blue robes fluttering in the wind, his whole body bathed in golden immortal light.

At this moment, he was the true creator god. With a wave of his hand, he turned all the true gods into blood mist, forming a vast sea of ​​blood on the ground. Everything that the sea of ​​blood touched was assimilated.

"Gushaluo, you will die a horrible death!"

"Please spare me, Lord Gushalo."

The true gods are all dead. In their inner worlds, world gods and deities also appeared in large numbers, but they were all bound by the formation and could not move, and all turned into blood mist.

Some begged for mercy, while others opened their mouths and cursed angrily.

Gu Shaluo's gaze was indifferent. Then he opened his mouth wide, and countless pieces of flesh and blood poured into it, creating a contrast with the golden immortal light.

The Devouring System aims to devour everything in the world. Weapons can be devoured, and living beings must also be devoured, because consuming endless living beings can also increase their strength.

Gu Shaluo's black hair was disheveled, making him look like a true god of death.

Even his two brothers felt a chill run down their spines, never expecting their eldest brother to be so ruthless as to actually annihilate a cosmic being.

All living beings support him alone!
Gu Sha Luo Gan was overjoyed. Even though he obtained the Cosmic Messenger System, he had not truly cultivated to the point of controlling the origin, all for the purpose of later advancing to the Void God.

"This time, my elder brother has become the Void God. No one in the future universe can stop him from devouring everything," the true god wearing purple battle armor muttered.

The man in the green robe had a good idea: "Big Brother will definitely become a Void God. In the future, he can also give us two some resources, so we can both succeed."

When Zhou Lin arrived in this universe, Gu Shaluo already had this idea: to use him to help him hunt down the true gods.

He first ascertained Zhou Lin's strength, finding it to be roughly equal to his strength when mobilizing the power of the universe in battle; even all the other true gods of the Thousand Prisons Universe combined couldn't defeat him.

If Gu Shaluo possessed Zhou Lin's teleportation ability, he would probably have already begun devouring other true gods, but he can only activate it while staying in his lair.

Moreover, this kind of stimulation also has a cooling effect. The universe is vast, and there are many places that cannot be entered by teleportation. That is why the ancient shamans formulated rules for sustainable development.

With the help of the formation and the terrain, a large number of true gods resisted Zhou Lin, and at the same time, they could also wear down his energy. Gu Shaluo was confident that he could control the course of the battle.

He only needs to act according to the situation to prevent Zhou Lin from breaking the formation. Those true gods are his prey, and it would hurt him if they died.

At this moment, Gu Shaluo also stopped temporarily. He had accumulated too much energy in his body, so he sat cross-legged in the center of the formation and began to digest and enhance it.

The ground was an endless sea of ​​blood; this place had long since become a purgatory, where countless lives had been shattered. Even the true gods and world gods could still let out their dying howls.

Most mortals, unable to utter a word, were swallowed by the endless sea of ​​blood and became part of the endless blood feast.

This kind of spiritual practice system is too cruel, and it is a method that Zhou Lin cannot accept. He spreads his faith, but he does not use the method of soul enslavement.

Harvesting the resources of all living beings for one's own use is a practice that will never reach its true limit. The Dao, and only the Dao, is the fundamental principle.

"How much blood and food must that require?"

The man in the green robe swallowed hard, lowered his head, and stopped looking at him. He suspected that if he dared to move, Gu Shaluo might throw him in as well.

Reaching the Void God level is a crucial achievement, and even with a simple method like the Devouring System, it takes a considerable amount of time to accomplish.

Moreover, it also depends on a certain amount of talent. Normally, by the end of the Thousand Prisons Universe, only three or five Void Gods at the initial stage of creation might emerge.

The cultivation system can be roughly divided into six levels.

Extraordinary, deity, realm god, true god, void god, cosmic god.

Among them, the Void Gods encompass the realms from the Initial Realm to the Chaos Realm, equivalent to the Void True Gods to the Chaos Realm in the Origin Continent. Entering this level will result in a qualitative leap.

In the primordial universe, that's the difference between trying to break through the cycle of reincarnation and failing to do so. On the Origin Continent, it's also about living until the end of an era.

The cold, blood-red energy entered his body, and Gu Shaluo began to use his devouring system to digest and absorb it, eventually nurturing his true god body and beginning to leap towards that level.

Breaking through the Devouring System is far less difficult than mastering the mysteries of its rules. For a prodigy like Gu Shaluo, there are practically no barriers; all it takes is sufficient resources. As for cultivation level, one only needs to have studied their own system.

At this moment, beneath those tombstones spanning hundreds of billions of miles.

Zhou Lin is still figuring out how to break through the tombstone's blockade.

"Once I get out, I'll slaughter you all." Zhou Lin has already figured out the first way to escape: have his second clone keep the great formation running at all times.

This method will abandon the second clone, but it is still possible to cultivate it again with some time.

Zhou Lin sensed that he would likely face a Void God after leaving, so he didn't want to abandon any of his clones. The combined strength of his three clones was not to be underestimated.

“Even Voidwalkers can’t leave here unless I can cultivate my Voidwalker’s Secret Realm to the eleventh level, comparable to a True God.” Zhou Lin could only focus his attention on one path.

That is the Void Realm Dao.

Previously, while trapped in the Heavenly Light Palace, Zhou Lin had studied the Void Realm Dao over the long years and had accumulated a relatively deep understanding of it. Now, he seized the opportunity to study it again.

After breaking through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, one opens up the Path of Cause and Effect, and one's comprehension will also leap forward. When one tries to comprehend things from before, the difficulty will not be so high.

The rules of heaven and earth are like a cage. Only by comprehending the Dao can one control everything that belongs to oneself. Why is Zhou Lin's original Void Realm Divine Heart now useless?

It's because that's only a part of the rules of heaven and earth, and it's completely impossible for it to bear such terrifying energy. Otherwise, all true gods would probably be able to create a vatual avatar.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Even with the complete rules of heaven and earth, Zhou Lin is unable to transcend the river of time, let alone a small part of the Void Realm Divine Heart.

……

Just a few decades later.

“The Void Realm is a reflection of reality, but the Dao of the Void Realm is different from the Divine Heart of the Void Realm.” Zhou Lin seemed to be thinking, vaguely constructing a world independent of heaven and earth.

The world is dazzling and shimmering, shrouded in a hazy mist, with layers of illusion and reality overlapping, yet the two are now completely aligned in terms of their levels.

Zhou Lin stood in the deep pit beneath the tombstone, his physical body and the illusory world beginning to intertwine and merge. He was a real being, but at this moment he was completely integrated into the illusory world.

The Tao was finally realized at this moment.

The complete Void Realm Dao instantly relieved Zhou Lin of the trouble of being suppressed by the tombstone. Since he was also a Void Walker, the combination of the two gave him a sense of etherealness.

A virtual world completely independent of the real world.

Zhou Lin also understood how he should break through on this path, continuously improving the virtual world until it finally broke through to become a virtual universe.

The system of rules and mysteries is about cultivating one's inner world. Ultimately, as the inner world is continuously perfected, it absorbs various profound mysteries of the Great Dao and achieves the status of a cosmic god.

Swish!
At this moment, Zhou Lin completely ignored the suppression of the tombstone. He took a step and flew rapidly towards the outside world, his body merging into the void and his aura concealed.

No one can sense his presence, not even the rules governing the universe.

Upon arriving in the outside world, Zhou Lin noticed Gu Shaluo, who was located in the center of the endless sea of ​​blood. His aura was completely different from before.

It was already vaguely at the level of a Void God.

"If he really breaks through to the Void God level, and becomes a Cosmic Messenger, even the newly-broken Blood Blade God Emperor probably couldn't kill him."

Zhou Lin's gaze was icy. He walked through the void world, while his true self quietly prepared the black gourd in his inner world, ready to strike Gu Shaluo!
The moment the black gourd was taken out, even the void realm couldn't conceal the fluctuations, so Zhou Lin had to have his true self take it out from within his inner world.

If Gu Shaluo were to successfully break through, Zhou Lin's difficulty in destroying the world would be hundreds of millions of times higher. He didn't think he could defeat a Void God.

"In three more days, I will be able to step into the Void God realm." Gu Shaluo continuously devoured flesh and blood, and then used his magic to digest it. This process had to be done with utmost care.

It's not that the Devouring Technique allows you to grow freely simply by swallowing something.

If there were problems with absorption, it could even cause a major collapse of the physical body. Gushaluo had not made any mistakes for so long, and even at such a moment, he was still very cautious.

boom!
A wave of destruction emerged.

"Alien race!" Gu Shaluo reacted quickly, instantly communicating with the origin of the universe to empower himself, and a monstrous blood-red light domain emerged, but it was too late!

Zhou Lin was so close that the black gourd was practically shoved into his face before it was released.

Gu Shaluo's realm is not high enough. If he were to truly become a Void God, he might be able to discover the Void Realm Dao, which is only at the Opening Realm. But right now, he is only a True God Ruler!

Rumble!
And so, Gushaluo's chest was shattered by the destructive shockwave. Zhou Lin raised his hand, preparing to completely destroy Gushaluo's head.

If he hadn't reacted at the last moment, his entire upper body would probably have exploded instantly.

Chi!
At this moment, the blood tide below suddenly erupted, forcefully pouring into Gushaluo's body, condensing into a blood-red armor on his body surface.

The destructive energy of the black gourd swept wildly, but it was ultimately unable to harm the blood-red armor.

Gusharo's head grew back, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and he said viciously, "Damn alien race, today I will grind you to dust."

In the final moments, Gushaluo had no choice but to use a secret technique to instantly devour a large amount of flesh and blood into his body, hoping to break through to the Void God realm.

This breakthrough is extremely unstable and will leave scars on his body at all times.

The sea of ​​blood had been completely swallowed up, revealing a land scarred and devastated. The universe and starry sky were also broken. Gu Shaluo stood there, and the heavens and earth trembled beneath his feet.

boom!
A terrifying wave spread, and the endless void was transformed into a domain of blood-red light, stretching for countless light-years.

A true Void God was born.

However, Gu Shaluo's aura was unstable. He had broken through in a hurry and was still injured. The destructive fluctuations of the black gourd were no joke.

Even if its power is only at the tenth level, the injuries it causes would definitely cause even a Void God a lot of trouble.

Most fatally, this destructive wave had begun to spread continuously around him, and even had the potential to harm his soul, which Gushaluo had to expend effort to suppress.

Whoosh!
Zhou Lin didn't linger at all, his speed soaring to its limit as he flew towards the outside of the stone pillar forest. Facing a Void God, even a newly promoted Void God couldn't possibly put up a fight.
