Devouring the Stars: Rising from the Snow Eagle System

Chapter 213 The Tyranny of the Eternal Night Realm
The distant ancient kingdom of Thunder.

The current ruling monarch, Lord Lei Xiao, was watching the battle scene indifferently. Before him lay a vast realm of laws spanning tens of thousands of miles, a treasure placed here by the Thunder Ancestor.

The mirror can even reflect what's happening in the dark.

"This Li Zhou under Lan Duo is quite capable." Monarch Lei Xiao sat on the throne, with several royal god-kings standing beside him.

"Yes, the Heavenly Kun King of the Kingdom of Heshi and the Yu Shui King of the Kingdom of Yu are quite similar," a god-king with golden fur replied respectfully.

"If he really defeats Li Zhou, will Lan Duo intervene?"

"Definitely, just like Lando's madness."

The god-kings were all discussing among themselves. They were all members of the royal family of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom. Even though Li Zhou was stronger than them, they still looked down on this foreign god-king.

……

The Eternal Night Realm is a place where five different ten-layered soul techniques are superimposed on each other, encompassing world, desire, illusion, annihilation, and soul.

The world is fraught with danger, the night is endless, and the world is infinite.

If someone at the tenth level of the Chaos Realm were to use this move, they could sweep away the vast majority of first-level Cosmic Gods. Unfortunately, no one at the Chaos Realm has ever been able to successfully cultivate it.

Even if the first level of the Cosmic God is unleashed, it can still threaten those at the second level. If it is combined with a secret treasure, even weaker Great Venerables will be afraid.

The God-King of the Wrathful Universe danced wildly in the endless darkness, but no matter how strong his attacks were, he could not tear apart this sky-covering darkness, because this was not the real world at all.

"Could it be a soul technique? But it doesn't quite seem like it." The God-King of the Wrathful Universe was quite surprised, and he had a vague sense of unease.

However, cultivators on the path of the soul are extremely rare. There are only a handful of Enlightenment God-Kings on the entire Origin Continent, let alone those on the path of the soul.

It should be understood that cultivators on the path of the soul are absolutely those who seek enlightenment, and their numbers are extremely rare; there are hardly any in the entire Hunyuan Space.

The Realm Heart Continent has so many cosmic gods, and they are all of the Enlightenment Path.

However, very few can reach the first level of the Soul Path, and even fewer can reach the second level of the Void Realm Path, such as only Fan Zu and the Heart Demon King.

Luo Feng's Lieyuan Technique, which allowed him to traverse the Origin Continent, is a secret technique of willpower. Willpower attacks are merely a branch of the soul and are far less terrifying at the God Emperor level.

The soul is the truly terrifying move. In the Realm Heart Continent, as long as the illusory realm reaches the level of a cosmic god, they would probably be able to sweep away many monarchs and emperors of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom and the Flame Wind Ancient Kingdom.

With a single move, they could lose control of their Hunyuan bloodline.

The mysteries that the God-King of the Wrathful Universe sensed were merely illusions and hallucinations; he had not yet unleashed his subsequent methods of annihilation and desire.

Ninety-nine percent of the god-kings of the Origin Continent have never fought against the path of the soul, because there is no path of the soul on the Origin Continent.

The God-King of the Wrathful Universe originally thought that there might not be any cultivators of the Soul Path on the Origin Continent.

"You're just playing tricks! Watch me smash your world to pieces!" roared the God-King of the Wrathful Universe. His divine body radiated boundless golden light, and his great hammer carried supreme divine power—his strongest move.

It vaguely possessed the profound mystery of the ultimate technique of the God King. The hammer seemed to be an infinite superposition of matter, like fire, like frost, and like lightning.

With this hammer blow, all matter will be annihilated.

The light surged for billions of kilometers, briefly illuminating this dark world.

The ultimate principle of the fundamental Dao of matter can encompass all matter within the entire Origin World, with various elemental energies flying everywhere with every move.

But at that moment, Zhou Lin also launched the true attack of the Eternal Night Realm. Illusion, Annihilation, and Desire—three moves that went straight to the depths of Li Zhou's soul.

If we can withstand it, the darkness will no longer pose a threat.

If one cannot resist, one will be forever trapped in this endless darkness, unable to escape, and when one's mind and will become blurred, one's soul will perish.

"Not good!" Li Zhou was shocked and furious. He felt a stinging sensation in his soul, which was far more terrifying than any attack on willpower, making it impossible for him to defend against.

As an ancient second-level God King, Li Zhou's willpower was comparable to that of the Ultimate Realm, yet he still felt extremely uncomfortable facing such an all-pervasive soul attack.

"Sink into the darkness," Zhou Lin said coldly. He was already a cosmic god in the Void Realm, and in the Soul Path, the first level could always threaten the second.

The second level can be effective against those at the Ultimate Realm. If one can comprehend the corpse of the Primordial Ancestor and learn the Void Realm Illusion Killing Move, it can even threaten those at the Half-Primordial Realm!

As for the third level, it's a foregone conclusion that it will be the Lord of Hunyuan.

In a normal battle against a second-level Enlightenment God King, Zhou Lin would definitely use cause and effect and the world as his main methods, so his Eternal Night Realm move would hardly be of much use.

At most, it will deplete some of the opponent's energy and reduce their strength by 10% or 20%.

However, many of the God-Kings in the Origin Continent cultivate both enlightenment and bloodline techniques. Not to mention soul techniques, even attacks of will are extremely deadly to them!
Five seconds passed...

"Hoo~" King Li Zhou exhaled, and his eyes suddenly lit up. The eternal darkness could not hide his eyes, revealing the true appearance of the world.

"I wasn't wrong, it really is the path of the soul." The God King of the Wrathful Universe felt a little scared. He had already exchanged for a portion of the Primordial Bloodline, intending to use it to advance.

Having been stuck at the second level of the God King realm for far too long, he could rival the likes of Tian Kun and Yu Shui even without relying on the Hunyuan bloodline, making him extremely proud.

However, the path to the ultimate realm is too difficult, so difficult that he can't see any hope. He is now close to the end of the cycle era.

Even though the entire Realm Heart Continent is a land of enlightenment cultivators, with nearly a thousand Cosmic Gods and far more if you include those who have died, the number of Ultimate Realm cultivators is very small.

Needless to say, the Origin Continent has only a handful of people at the ultimate level of the Enlightenment Stream in this era. Emperor Qing, the ruler of all realms, and counting Zhou Lin and Luo Feng, there will only be four in the future.

The second level of the God King realm cannot be separated from the Origin Continent. Since he is not a member of the royal family of an ancient kingdom, he has no way to exchange for a monarch-level bloodline.

Therefore, the God-King of the Wrathful Universe could only exchange for a stronger bloodline in the hope of improving his strength. He cultivated both the Dao and the Chaos Origin Bloodline, and he was definitely comparable to a monarch.

Only then will the God-King of the Wrathful Universe have the power to compete for resources.

"If I had absorbed the Hunyuan bloodline and my blood had been contaminated, his Dark World technique would probably have truly condemned me to eternal damnation."

Li Zhou was somewhat frightened. He had already begun studying bloodlines in the dojo and was preparing to absorb them within ten epochs.

The Hunyuan bloodline is right there; he can't possibly not use it for the rest of his life.

If Zhou Lin causes trouble in the future, he can use the Eternal Night Realm to sweep away the entire Li Zhou, unless he can break through his will to the ultimate realm, rather than just the ultimate realm.

This possibility is infinitesimally small. Among contemporary bloodline cultivators, only Di Ming has achieved this. Only by possessing the will of a God Emperor can one go far on this path. "So he's not a bloodline cultivator? That's rare." Zhou Lin understood from Li Zhou's performance that he was actually the purest form of enlightenment cultivator.

He cultivates both the Divine Path and the Divine Path simultaneously. No wonder he can rival those God-Kings who rely on the Hunyuan Bloodline. There are very few God-Kings who can cultivate both simultaneously.

Even if one cultivates two or three paths that are not compatible, a second-level God King can rival a monarch or emperor.

"May I ask your esteemed name?" Li Zhou stood in the darkness, but he had already broken free from the shackles of the Eternal Night Realm; this was the power of an enlightened being.

"Meng Chuan".

Zhou Lin said softly that he was not worried about the name he used in the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom. There were many life forms on the Origin Continent, so it was normal to have the same name.

“God King Meng Chuan, it was wrong of me to encroach on the Snow Realm’s territory,” Li Zhou said humbly. “I am willing to return it and make certain compensation.”

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

If you can't beat them, you can't beat them. Zhou Lin has too many tricks up his sleeve, especially the most bizarre soul path, which can instill fear in opponents of the same level. Just look at the emperors of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom.

Di Ming, whose willpower has reached the level of a God Emperor, can make other Emperors feel extremely troublesome, let alone a true God King of the Soul Path.

"I want to enter the treasure land left by Yuan. Do you have it?" Zhou Lin canceled the Dark Realm and transmitted his voice to Li Zhou, saying, "I have no use for the other things."

Li Zhou was somewhat angry. These god-kings who had submitted to the ancient kingdom's monarch were helping Lan Duo collect living beings just so that the other party could reward them with some resources.

The treasure land left behind by Yuan, the most common infinite space, requires as much as 5000 million merits to exchange, yet Zhou Lin wants it directly.

Let alone the Snow Realm territory, even adding the Chaos Continent wouldn't be enough for Li Zhou. He immediately shook his head and refused, saying, "I don't have it, and even if I did, I wouldn't use it to compensate."

Chi!
Suddenly, the space ahead cracked, and a majestic figure dressed in a light blue robe slowly emerged. He had a very holy appearance, but his whole body was covered with blue and white scales, and he also had three tails.

As he stepped out of the space, an extremely terrifying power enveloped the endless distance; it was the aura of an ultimate life form, possessing absolute dominance.

The monarch, relying on the secret treasures bestowed by the ancestor, also possesses the ultimate strength of an enlightened being, comparable to a powerful sovereign on the Realm Heart Continent, but weaker than Fu Yi.

The monarch of the Thunder Kingdom, Lan Duo, has arrived!
The Blue Sovereign looked at Zhou Lin with indifferent eyes. He was extremely bloodthirsty and manic at heart. He cultivated the water-attribute Hunyuan bloodline and achieved the ultimate realm through his bloodline.

"Die!" Monarch Lan Duo was too lazy to waste words and didn't care if others said he was bullying the weak. How normal could the monarch of the Thunder Kingdom be?

With boundless power descending instantly, he could annihilate the true form of the Yu Kingdom's ruler from a distance within the Milky Way, so how could he possibly take Zhou Lin's strength seriously?

In the Origin Continent, those at the second level of the God King realm who can rival those at the Ultimate realm can be counted on one hand; they are extremely rare.

boom!
Zhou Lin felt as if a vast ocean was crashing down on him; its boundless power was even heavier than the universe itself, and his divine body instantly suffered severe injuries.

"He's still alive?!" Lord Lan Duo was very surprised. Although this was not the Milky Way, even if Li Zhou didn't survive for long with just one glance from him.

Swish!
Zhou Lin immediately used the Boundary-Breaking Teleportation Technique to leave. This was his clone with the Southern Cloud Sacred Body and carrying many weapons; he couldn't bear to die here.

Then, the two clones instantly arrived on the wasteland.

"Eternal Night Realm." The two clones attacked simultaneously, and boundless darkness once again enveloped the universe, their soul attacks striking at the very core!

Lord Lan Duo had always maintained an indifferent expression, showing no fear even when shrouded in boundless darkness. However, the moment the soul attack penetrated his mind, his entire face contorted in pain.

"Ah!!!!!" Lord Lan Duo clutched his head with both hands, his blue and white scales trembling violently. As a cultivator of the Hunyuan bloodline, he usually needed to be distracted to suppress it.

Zhou Lin's soul attack was far more cunning than his will attack. He and Monarch Lan Duo were evenly matched in terms of willpower, but in terms of soul power, they were not so similar.

The soul of Lord Lan Duo is not at the ultimate level, while Zhou Lin's soul, although not at that level either, is far superior to his.

boom!
Lan Duo's eyes turned bloodshot, and he began to indiscriminately bombard all the areas around him, but he couldn't see his opponent or the reality at all.

"Not good!" Lord Lei Xiao, who was still watching the battle, reacted instantly and immediately used his abilities to rush to the battlefield to provide assistance.

Although there are many internal struggles within their Thunder Kingdom, they are extremely united in dealing with external forces, making it impossible for them to witness Lan Duo's death.

"Ah!!" Lan Duo roared, his voice was extremely terrifying and sounded incredibly miserable, as the Hunyuan bloodline within his body was raging and going crazy.

If he were an ultimate life form, he would react the same way as the God-King of the Wrathful Universe when faced with such an attack. However, Lan Duo is the lowest level of the Chaotic Origin Bloodline.

While their power may be similar during combat, their versatility, survival ability, and ability to counter willpower and soul-based techniques are worlds apart.

Then, Lan Duo transformed into a dark blue monster, neither human nor ghost, as if it were a hybrid of chaotic life forms.

"Impossible!" Di Ming was also watching the battle. When he saw Zhou Lin cause the monarch to lose control with just one move, he exclaimed in astonishment, "God Emperor level will, Void Dao clone, who exactly is this powerful expert?!"

To make a monarch lose control in one move, one must possess the will of a God-Emperor combined with a secret technique of will.

Among those who possess the will of a God-Emperor on the Origin Continent, there are very few: Di Qing, the Lord of Myriad Realms, the progenitor of two nations, and the progenitor of the Eastern Extreme Domain.

None of these people have any reason to compete with Li Zhou for territory.

Swish!
"Stop!" Lord Lei Xiao roared, his giant hands growing to trillions of kilometers in size, flashing with endless lightning, blotting out the sky, and pressing down hard on Zhou Lin.

The ultimate power erupted, shattering the space itself. One of Zhou Lin's clones flashed out, while the other clone calmly met the attack.

boom!
Lei Xiaojun's strength was even greater than Lan Duo's, and he instantly annihilated Zhou Lin's clone without even bothering to use any means of self-preservation.

The next moment, another clone emerged.

Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh!
One after another, clones arrived via the Boundary-Breaking Teleportation Technique. Each one was isolated from causal detection, and Zhou Lin's main battle clone was equipped with the Wuwang Robe.

The remaining clones used god-king level techniques to conceal themselves.

A total of three thousand clones were scattered throughout the void.

"Ah!" Monarch Lan Duo was still out of control, and he could not suppress the remaining primordial will at all.

A mere second-level God King, if he also possessed the will of the Ultimate Realm, would not have found it so difficult to resist the Dark Realm, at most losing 20% ​​of his strength.

But for Lan Duo, that would be a fatal blow.
