Devouring the Stars: Rising from the Snow Eagle System

Chapter 166 Returning to the Primitive Universe
The Bloodlight Domain was vast and mighty, yet it flickered like a candle in the wind.

Gu Shaluo's killing intent was overwhelming. His domain was now fully condensed, transforming into a giant handprint that was hundreds of billions of kilometers long, which slammed fiercely towards Zhou Lin.

He no longer had the strength to pursue and had to immediately stabilize his physical body and expel the destructive fluctuations, otherwise his injuries would worsen and cause his cultivation level to drop.

This is no joke. In other systems, such as witchcraft or the mysteries of rules, once you advance, you've advanced, and that's it—it's there and that's it.

However, once the Devouring System is fully digested, its foundation is stable, so there is no such hidden danger. But in the end, Gushaluo forcibly enhanced himself.

When Zhou Lin looked back, the blood-red handprint was so vast it blotted out the sky and stretched for billions of kilometers. He knew he couldn't possibly run away from it.

The aura destroyed the spatial fluctuations, and the scattered fluctuations could kill even ordinary True Gods and Sovereigns.

"The Void Realm." Zhou Lin's body was within the Void Realm, allowing the crimson handprint to strike down. The terrifying power permeated through, but it was separated by the Void Realm, the Blazing Fire Origin Armor, and the Void Walker's physical body.

"One move annihilated three-thousandths of my divine body."

If he hadn't comprehended the Dao of the Void Realm, this move would have been far more than this.

"He's not dead?" Gu Shaluo was extremely shocked. No matter what, the other party was a true god. How could he possibly withstand his Blood Sea Handprint head-on?

After Zhou Lin received the attack, he also flew out of the stone pillar forest. He turned his head and looked back, and found that Gu Shaluo's domain had also weakened, and could only linger around a hundred billion kilometers away, unable to expand any further.

"I understand. He broke through in an emergency and was injured by the destructive wave of my black gourd. His foundation is unstable and his injuries have not yet healed, no wonder he dared not come after me."

Zhou Lin grinned. Gu Shaluo should move as little as possible now.

Just like ordinary people getting injured, any movement could aggravate the wound. Gu Shaluo's injuries were more serious than Zhou Lin had imagined; the black gourd was too destructive.

After all, what it contains is the Sun Star, which is capable of incinerating beings at the Unity Realm and is comparable to the Chaos Realm. Even a slight infiltration of destructive fluctuations would be extremely difficult to deal with.

If he is even slightly careless, the destructive energy of the black gourd could enter his soul or destroy the foundation of his physical body, and all his efforts accumulated over countless years would be in vain.

In the current Thousand Prisons Universe, the vast majority of matter is concentrated within the Stone Pillar Forest.

"Gushaluo, Gushaluo, if you hadn't killed those many True Gods, my move wouldn't have been of any use." A second clone flew out from Zhou Lin's body.

Whoosh!
The second clone possessed no treasures, relying solely on the power of the Void Walker and the combined energy of the Lord of the Universe, making it comparable to an eighth-order True God.

"A clone?" Gu Shaluo was startled. He had long heard that other cultivation systems had the ability to create clones, but unfortunately he had never obtained one.

In the Thousand Prisons Universe, there are only a handful of special life forms capable of creating clones.

Zhou Lin's second clone quickly headed towards a continent. Although he had experienced a series of battles, he had not been in any resource-rich areas.

"you dare!"

Gu Shaluo was shocked. If Zhou Lin were to destroy all the continents and stars in this place, then the entire Thousand Prisons Universe would probably be close to destruction.

He has become a Void God. The cosmic era is still very long. In the endless years to come, the entire universe should be his hunting ground.

Gusha Luo wanted to grow to the Unity Realm before leaving.

The initial stage of Void God is still very weak in the chaotic void. Only the Unity stage is considered somewhat respectable, and the Chaos stage is even more so, being a giant anywhere.

Chi!
The blood-red aura surrounding him condensed into a giant handprint once more. This aura required no power from him; he could launch an attack simply by thinking about it.

Zhou Lin's second clone quietly entered the void realm.

"Where is he?" Gu Shaluo was just about to launch an attack when he could no longer find any trace of Zhou Lin. His giant handprint could cover billions of miles.

Its domain is countless times larger, easily covering an entire star field.

However, domain attacks are not enough to penetrate into the virtual world.

"Hmph, I don't believe you won't come out." Gu Sha Luo sat cross-legged in the void, healing his injuries. This endless and vast area was completely covered by his domain.

And Gushara can launch attacks from anywhere.

"Humorous realm." Zhou Lin was very disdainful. This Devouring System was even inferior to a puppet of the same level, and it would basically be crushed in battle against a puppet of the same level.

Unless one cultivates to the level of a cosmic god, there will be no change.

Those Chaos Realm giants who devour the system will also try to cultivate other systems to improve their combat power.

However, in any domain where the Blood Blade God Emperor becomes a Void God, Zhou Lin's Void Realm Heaven and Earth combined with Void Walker is like a joke, and he simply cannot integrate into it.

Because the Void God, with his profound and mysterious rules, had incorporated enough mysteries into his own Dao to naturally form a domain of rules, completely overwhelming Zhou Lin in terms of skill level.

The difference in realm leads to a difference in strength. Gu Shaluo might be able to unleash the power of a twelfth-level being, but he is nothing more than a toy in front of a Void God with a system of profound rules. Even if the opponent's power is weaker, they can easily toy with him because of their higher realm.

"Explode!" Zhou Lin's second clone suddenly appeared, throwing a punch at the vast continent spanning hundreds of billions of kilometers, while Gu Shaluo's attack followed immediately.

boom! boom!
The second clone and the mainland exploded simultaneously.

Zhou Lin's true form returned to the Stone Pillar Forest space with a whoosh and began to launch a ranged attack on Gu Shaluo, who was absorbing the energy of heaven and earth to heal his injuries.

A vast sea of ​​stars emitted a dazzling light, which he absorbed into his body. At the same time, black residue was expelled. At this rate, Gu Shaluo would be able to stabilize his realm within 100,000 years.

The black gourd unleashed endless destructive waves. Zhou Lin knew that this tenth-level power was no threat to Gu Sha Luo in his current state; it couldn't even break through the blood-red light on the surface of his body.

Although there is no realm, Gushara is also a god of the void.

He was a void god-life form, but in terms of realm, he could only be compared to a true god in the creation realm, and he was equally powerful with every move he made.

The destructive waves enveloped all directions, polluting the boundless energy of heaven and earth, with the aim of slowing down the healing process of Gushaluo.

"Damn it, with this destructive aura he's emitting, how many times will my energy absorption rate decrease?" Gu Shaluo said with a gloomy face, having also figured out Zhou Lin's intentions.

Not long after, another clone quietly appeared.

Zhou Lin could easily cultivate a second clone and then send it to destroy the continent in a suicide attack. He wouldn't even need Gu Shaluo to lift a finger; he could simply self-destruct.

Rumble!
This is a long process, spanning hundreds of light-years. If it were outside, Zhou Lin could destroy it with a single thought, but the Stone Pillar Forest greatly suppresses it.

A single application covering trillions of kilometers is already the limit that the second clone can achieve. If this trend continues, it will take Zhou Lin tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of years, to destroy it.

"I will not take the real body into danger." Zhou Lin's gaze was calm. At present, the attack range of Gu Sha Luo's strongest move is limited, but the future is hard to say.

Even with the interference of the black gourd, the opponent can definitely complete the healing process within tens of millions of years.

The two of them ended up in a pointless standoff.

Although Gushalo still had two true god brothers, they couldn't get involved in this battle and had long since hidden themselves away in the desolate edge of the universe.

……

In this way, tens of millions of years passed quickly, and Zhou Lin also sensed that Gu Shaluo's injuries were becoming more and more stable, and the range of his attacks was becoming wider and wider.

But he still couldn't move, because this kind of injury wasn't something that could be cured halfway and then immediately lead to a fight in the ancient temple; rather, he had to wait until it was completely stable before he could take action.

Zhou Lin dismantled almost all the celestial bodies within the entire Stone Pillar Forest.

"In another six months, once your injuries are fully healed, it will be your death day."

Gu Shaluo's killing intent towards Zhou Lin was extremely intense. He could sense that the cosmic era only had a hundred years left, and it would no longer be able to nurture and devour more living beings.

"It's finally done." Zhou Lin had lost count of how many times he had annihilated his clones, but he had finally driven the Thousand Prison Universe to its doom.

Swish!
Gu Shaluo watched helplessly as Zhou Lin disappeared.

This is not some virtual world, but a true disappearance. Before, when Zhou Lin entered the virtual world, he could still vaguely sense its approximate range.

"Gone?!" Gu Shaluo's eyes were full of confusion. Fortunately, the destructive fluctuations also disappeared with Zhou Lin, and he could now absorb energy without restraint.

With the cosmic era on the verge of collapse, Gushaluo could only wander the chaotic void as a newly ascended Void God, accompanied by his two brothers.

Upon returning to the primordial universe, Zhou Lin instantly sensed countless causal connections related to him.

Reputation points are also skyrocketing.

[Congratulations, host, you have received the reward: Thirteen Swords of Annihilation]

[Congratulations, host, you have received the reward: Void Divine Weapon: Sword of Nothingness]

[Congratulations, host, you have received a reward: ten different cultivation systems]

[Congratulations, host, you have received the reward: Thousand Prisons Universe, which will be extracted in a million years.]

……

Zhou Lin didn't need to rush with the rewards for now, but the dense web of cause and effect was what he needed to deal with; countless emails were flooding into his virtual universe.
