Devouring the Stars: Rising from the Snow Eagle System

Chapter 231 The Terrifying Progenitor of Flame Wind
Hearing the Lord of the Mother River recount the past, Zhou Lin became interested. If there was anything he still feared on the Origin Continent, it was most likely the Ancestor of Flame Wind.

Cultivating the dual paths of the Great Dao of the Origin of Flame and the Great Dao of the Origin of Cause and Effect.

According to Zhou Lin's speculation, the Ancestor Yanfeng should be at the ultimate realm of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, but he definitely cannot be deduced to the level of God Emperor, otherwise he would definitely not have this level of combat power.

Through his conversation with his teacher, Youying, Zhou Lin was able to discern that even if one simply cultivated to the late stage of the God Emperor realm, the power of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect would be far beyond what ordinary paths could achieve.

After reaching the ultimate realm of dual paths, the Flame Ancestor could only deduce the Great Dao of the Flame Origin to the late stage of God Emperor. Cause and effect are now used more as auxiliary means.

For example, confusing the secrets of heaven and the entanglement of cause and effect renders the destructive power of the karmic veins useless against the opponents he is currently facing.

"I killed dozens of God-Kings of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, including some of their descendants who were on the verge of becoming Emperors, which made them hate me to the bone."

When the Lord of the Mother River spoke of this, his face was filled with pride, after all, it was a great feat: "Moreover, I also killed the direct disciple of the Ancestor of Flame Wind."

Zhou Lin suddenly realized why someone of Yanfeng Ancestor's status would get involved in the struggle on the Origin Continent and even personally take action against the Lord of the Mother River.

“There are already few promising members in the royal family, and you even killed one of his personal disciples. No wonder, no wonder,” Zhou Lin said with emotion. “Even the Yanfeng Ancestor probably couldn’t have imagined this.”

The two paths cultivated by the Lord of the Mother River are also very interesting: life can lock onto the opponent's life force, and cause and effect points directly to the origin.

In terms of the ability to lock onto and pursue targets, he is even stronger than Zhou Lin.

If these two paths can be merged, the Lord of the Mother River will be the ultimate nightmare of the Origin Continent, locking life force and destroying the source, instantly killing anyone he sees.

"That old fellow, the Ancestor of Flame Wind, has a terrifying upper limit to his power." The Lord of the Mother River frowned and said, "Apart from me, if the Earth God King and the others encountered him, they would probably die without a doubt."

It should be noted that if the Ancestor of Flame Wind wanted to kill the Emperor, he could do so with a single thought while staying at home; the invisible wind would instantly annihilate all his clones.

When he targeted the Lord of the Mother River, he still destroyed all his clones and all resurrection vessels.

"Lord of the Mother River, can you tell me about the methods of the Ancestor of Flame Wind?" Zhou Lin's expression also became serious upon hearing this.

He felt that he might have underestimated the abilities of a late-stage God Emperor; the sheer power of the flames alone could easily crush him.

"cause and effect."

The Lord of the Mother River frowned and said, "God King Meng Chuan, I am also a cultivator of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, but in front of him, I feel that I have nowhere to hide."

"Completely impossible to hide from?" Zhou Lin murmured, "Even we, facing a God-King who destroyed the Great Dao of Origin, have difficulty tracing his tracks directly. How did he manage to do this?"

He couldn't understand how the methods of the ultimate realm of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect could be so much more profound than those of the second level.
Under normal circumstances, the mystery of the Ultimate Realm is not particularly far from that of the God King Second Realm. Some of the techniques created by the Second Realm are even surprising to the Ultimate Realm.

"The Embers of Cause and Effect." The Lord of the Mother River asked in confusion, "You are also a God-King of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, yet you didn't try to exchange for this inheritance?"

Zhou Lin thought to himself, "I have a better method of cultivation, so why should I exchange for the same item as the Yanfeng Ancestor?"

"Could it be that you've been tainted by the blood of karma?" Zhou Lin was very familiar with the methods of this path: "But that shouldn't be the case. You are a dignified second-level God King. There's no reason why you can't eliminate it."

"It is the fire of cause and effect."

The Lord of the Mother River said slowly and deliberately, "It's a technique in 'Cause and Effect Embers' that can transform blood of cause and effect in the traditional sense into the form of flames."

After saying that, he talked to Zhou Lin in detail about this method.

The "Cause and Effect Embers" method itself requires the use of the power of Hunyuan for cultivation, and the effects of the power of Hunyuan are self-evident.

It confuses the secrets of heaven and obscures cause and effect. Moreover, the power of primordial chaos is the foundation of everything. It can give rise to all things. And this inheritance does not even require the Great Dao of the Flame Origin to enter at the very beginning.

The so-called flames are actually the flames of calamity, the primordial flames.

However, since the Ancestor Yanfeng had cultivated to such a high level, his Flame Dao was already at the late God Emperor level, and he also had the power of Hunyuan. Combining these, he created the Flame of Cause and Effect.

“No wonder his tracking was so terrifying.” Zhou Lin understood. Di Wu and Di Xi were descendants of the Yanfeng Ancestor, and the Lord of the Mother River had killed his disciple.

Having become so deeply entangled in karma, it's only natural that they would be sought after.

"All I can do is remind you," the Mother River Lord said with a smile. "On the Origin Continent, you are the only powerful person who dares to directly establish a force to defy the ancient kingdoms. I am somewhat lacking in comparison."

His influence was ultimately hidden, while Zhou Lin's was carried out openly and blatantly.

After finishing his words, the Lord of the Mother River left gracefully without offering to cooperate with Zhou Lin.

Because the Lord of the Mother River knew that unless Zhou Lin's strength underwent another transformation, they would not have a chance to join forces in the future; otherwise, no one could stop the Ancestor of Flame Wind from taking action.

Whether or not we can cooperate remains to be seen.

After hearing about the methods of the Ancestor of Flame Wind, Zhou Lin realized that he had been somewhat reckless. It was likely that those techniques that severed causal connections were completely useless.

"I need to improve my strength quickly. As long as I have 30% invincibility, Yan Feng won't be able to kill me." Zhou Lin felt a sense of urgency.

Throughout his cultivation, Zhou Lin has always been confident before making any decisions, but the terrifying nature of the Flame Wind Ancestor was something he had not anticipated.

Because in the actual storyline where he appears, Luo Feng has already become the ruler of the Galaxy Kingdom, and the Ancestor of Yanfeng has not made a move many times, with only a few legends about him.

And while the invisible wind could kill the emperor, Zhou Lin's ability to protect himself was far superior to that of the emperor. In addition, his awakening time should be relatively late, which is why he dared to act so ostentatiously.

Theoretically, the progenitor might indeed awaken after a long period of time, but nothing in this world is absolute; personal strength is the key.

……

Zhou Lin severed the memory connection between his external avatar and his main avatar to prevent his comprehension from being disturbed, while his main battle avatar became completely immersed in "Eternal World".

The legacy created by Lord Hunyuan.

Yuan is the way of the operation of the Hunyuan rules. The more ultimate Dao he integrates, the stronger he becomes. Yuan has always wanted to create the Origin World, so his research on the world's fundamental Dao is also extremely profound.

Although it cannot be deduced to the level of Hunyuan, it is far superior to those semi-Hunyuan. Yuan is skilled in far too many methods.

The reason why cultivator lords can fight against naturally born chaotic beings is mainly due to the blessing of Yuan's formation, which is why Yuan was able to create many perfect-level inheritances.

"Perfect-level inheritance, it's really crazy." After Zhou Lin cultivated the special-grade inheritance "Cause and Effect", he thought his level of acceptance was quite high, but he didn't expect this method to be even more exaggerated than merging with the Great Dao.

It is even more insane than peeking into the primordial Dao of destruction. If these perfect inheritances go wrong in cultivation, the consequences will be unbearable.

For example, Xingmang's creation, "Time Traveler," directly integrates Taoist methods, requiring one to travel through different dimensions of time and space; if something goes wrong, one will be lost in the past or future.

"Eternal World" requires one to disperse one's own will!

However, it's not a true dispersal, but rather allowing one's will to enter the world, cultivating in an extremely subtle way. It requires a long period of observation to open up the rudimentary form of the Origin World. When his body merges with the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, Zhou Lin can choose whether or not to end his cultivation based on his own preferences.

But in "Eternal World," you have no choice at all.

When any cultivator of the fundamental Dao of the world merges their will with the infinite universe, they will subconsciously want to study the mysteries of its structure.

This is very different from merging with the Great Dao of Cause and Effect. That would at most make one an observer, allowing Zhou Lin to glimpse the causal processes of living beings.

But it doesn't allow us to glimpse the details of the world's structure.

For example, on the continent of origin, there are many natural and mysterious terrains that contain boundless power, and some dangerous places can even annihilate a god-king.

There are also treasure lands like the Milky Way and Dream Realm created by the lords.

The dissipation of the will of "Eternal World" will allow Zhou Lin to carefully analyze the structure of the world. This fundamental path requires comprehending all sorts of mysteries of the world.

Even a God Emperor-level will, even at the peak of the God Emperor realm, cannot encompass the entire Origin World; only the ultimate path of the soul can achieve this.

"Eternal World" allows the will of a God Emperor to spread throughout the entire Origin World, but that state is extremely loose and far less concentrated than in normal times.

One can imagine how insane this practice of spiritual cultivation must be.

The difficulty of this first volume is so high, no wonder the exchange points are so exaggerated, comparable to the first volume of "Hunyuan Formation Diagram".

Even if they actually exchanged for it, those who dared to cultivate it would definitely not be at the early stage of God Emperor will; those who succeeded in cultivation were all at the late stage of God Emperor or God Emperor Perfection.

After the fifth volume, a higher level of Hunyuan will is even more necessary.

"Wait, this method is too suitable for my cultivation!" Zhou Lin suddenly realized something: he was a noble cultivator of the Void Path.

A normal cultivator's clones, the Great Dao of Time's origin, consist of three major clones: the past, the future, and the present, all of which are complete physical bodies and souls.

The Void Dao and the Space Dao are the nine strongest avatars, each with a complete soul, will, and physical body. There are also tens of thousands of other avatars, each with a portion of their soul.

The fundamental principle of life requires the division of the soul to create a separate entity.

With a large number of clones, Dongbo Xueying's domain could cover 70% of the chaotic void, while the Origin Continent was much smaller than the expanding chaotic void.

After deciding to cultivate, Zhou Lin connected his memories with thousands of weak clones, but severed them from his strongest clones. A total of three thousand clones began cultivating at the same time, operating this cultivation method.

boom!
In an instant, Zhou Lin felt his soul become empty and his will even dissipate. Countless points of light spread out, following the method and merging into the world.

"not good!"

The moment they dispersed, Zhou Lin's clone within the Heavenly Pillar Realm changed drastically. He realized the deaths of the other weaker clones. This cultivation method didn't have such a bug to exploit; all the clones were independent wills spreading outwards.

It doesn't mean that each statue can be distributed to a specific area.

Those 2999 weak clones, lacking complete souls, naturally had weak wills. They were completely absorbed into the world as soon as they spread out, and finally vanished into nothingness.

thump! thump!
One after another, the clones fell to the ground in various parts of the Origin Continent, their souls completely annihilated, and their bodies also dissipated into countless specks of light.

Meanwhile, the main battle avatar's will spread within the Heavenly Pillar Realm, causing its physical body to disappear and merge into the structure of this world.

Floating, floating, Zhou Lin felt his will first enter the three-thousand-dimensional cosmic sea, traversing billions of light-years within the cosmic sea, and arriving at the primordial universe.

The cosmic sea was pitch black, devoid of any light, so deep it seemed capable of swallowing everything, cold and lonely, having buried countless lives over billions of eons.

But it is also a complete world structure, only the way it is constructed is different from the traditional one. From another perspective, it may have infinite vitality.

There are also countless smaller universes, each with a different structure for a true god, a void god, and an eternal god.

The various worlds within the miniature universe and the various spacetime layers within the primordial universe were all explored by Zhou Lin's will, but this method of diffusion was too scattered.

The soul is the soldier, and the will is the general.

After cultivating to Zhou Lin's level, in theory, even a wisp of soul or a wisp of will should have the ability to think completely.

As long as you stay at the ordinary level, there won't be any problems.

The world of Keyuan is too vast and infinitely expansive. The extent to which will has spread through special methods is unimaginable.

No will possesses the ability to think.

If Zhou Lin hadn't severed the connection of memories, all his clones would have fallen into a deep sleep at the same time. Fortunately, during cultivation, even his physical body would merge with heaven and earth.

Complete dissipation, once the mind and will disperse, the physical body of a god-king will naturally dissipate as well, just as if returning to the origin of the source world.

The consciousness of this clone has vanished, yet it has not died. This state is mysterious and somewhat similar to a state of suspended animation.

It's simple to come back to life: rely on unwavering faith and forcefully solidify your physical body with your willpower. Even if you can't cultivate, you can still use it to enhance your willpower.

……

Ten thousand years, millions of years, hundreds of millions of years...

Soon, ten eras had passed on the Origin Continent. Luo Feng was now in the Chaos Realm, while Morosa had just become a God King and saw the physical body of Lord Lando upon emerging from seclusion.

"Master, what, what is this?" Morosa's eyes widened in disbelief.

He focused on devouring the Snow Realm Ancestor and grew directly to the God King level. Just as he was about to leave seclusion to fight for Zhou Lin, he saw a blue creature's corpse.

Although Lord Lan Duo is dead, the Hunyuan bloodline in his body will not dry up, not to mention that his physical body was made with a lot of materials.

The aura emanating from the physical body alone is enough to crush endless space and time.

"I casually killed a monarch, take it and eat it," Zhou Lin said nonchalantly. "You need to reach the Ultimate Realm as soon as possible to help me with some things."

"I, I will do it as soon as possible!" Morosa said confidently.

His current devouring speed is not even in the same league as that of an Eternal True God. At most, in a few more epochs, an Ultimate Realm expert will be born.

Zhou Lin's clone is cultivating "Eternal World," and the outcome is still unknown. Naturally, he needs to make multiple preparations, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with Ancestor Yanfeng in the future.
