Devouring the Stars: Rising from the Snow Eagle System

Chapter 263 An Extremely Bizarre Team

When Zhou Lin first started the challenge, he sensed something was wrong.

He figured the difficulty of this challenge was likely due to the presence of two low-level Chaos Origin beings. With two challengers, the challenge was naturally more difficult.

"What does Your Majesty mean by that?" The King of Myriad Realms actually had some guesses. Why was each level so much more difficult than the last? What should he fight in the next level?
"We have to split up; this test will definitely be based on my strength."

Zhou Lin said bluntly, "If it were you, you certainly wouldn't have encountered such a strong low-level Chaos Origin, and I wouldn't have had to fight both of them."

"it is good……"

The Lord of the Myriad Realms agreed. He didn't want to face the Myriad-Touched Dragon Prince again. Even if the other party had many restrictions, it could still completely crush him.

The sheer terrifying power alone made his heart pound.

After parting ways with the Lord of the Myriad Realms, Zhou Lin didn't rush to continue his journey. Instead, he took out the corpse of the Myriad-Touched Dragon Prince and began to study it. He wasn't far from the Ultimate Realm.

Even at the fastest pace, it would take hundreds of billions of years to comprehend this.

If one's temperament, realm, and thinking are slightly inferior, then it is not suitable for a second-level God King to look at low-level Chaos Origin corpses, as they will be greatly interfered with.

Each tentacle of the Myriad-Tentacle Dragon contains a portion of the mysteries of life, as well as a small amount of the mysteries of the world and the illusory realm; these are the main components that make them up.

Life goes without saying; any primordial life must possess this mystery.

The world is vaguely constructed by those tens of thousands of tentacles, while also containing some illusions. As for other substances and the mysteries of the infinite, Zhou Lin didn't care much.

"This world is indeed mysterious. No wonder the blood of the Ten Thousand Tentacle Dragon Mother has such a great effect on the soul." Zhou Lin was secretly shocked. These two Ten Thousand Tentacle Dragon Sons just couldn't grasp those mysteries of the Void Realm.

Otherwise, if they launch some soul attacks, Zhou Lin's strength will definitely be weakened, even though his will has reached the late stage of God Emperor.

Those who attain enlightenment will suffer a great loss of strength if their mental energy is affected.

For example, his strongest killing move to kill the Ten Thousand Touch Dragon Prince requires 100% of his mental strength to activate.

If those two ten-thousand-tentacle dragon sons knew this in the afterlife, they would surely be so angry that they would come back to life. Their race, once they grow to the peak of the God Emperor realm, are basically all beings beyond the limit.

The Ten Thousand Touch Dragon Sons in the early stages of the God Emperor's reign were not yet able to fully unleash the mysteries of the Void Realm, but how could a God Emperor at the Perfection level not be able to master them? It's just that they were restricted by the rules.

The rules restrict them from moving freely, and any occasional soul attacks they trigger are erased by the artifact spirit, making them essentially live targets for Zhou Lin to shoot at.

This kind of target practice also benefited him greatly.

Having observed the corpse of the Ten Thousand-Touched Dragon Prince for millions of years, Zhou Lin did not delve into the mysteries of that world, as they were too complex and best suited for comprehension after reaching the Ultimate Realm.

He mainly looks at the virtual world.

"The three forces of world, desire, and annihilation are easy to merge." Zhou Lin quickly grasped the direction of fusion.

The old method based on the world, the virtual world, and the fusion of the various lineages of the world still have some commonalities, except that the last lineage of the virtual world will be very, very difficult.

Let alone the Five Meridians, even the fusion of the Four Meridians would make one a standout on the path of the soul.

After spending tens of millions of years, Zhou Lin successfully merged the two veins of the Void Realm and advanced to the second level of the Three Paths Universe God. He is not in a hurry to comprehend it now, but wants to break through the fourth level!

Once you pass the fourth level, you can redeem all the points you have.

Having defeated two Thousand-Touched Dragon Princes, killed Emperor Flame, and completed various previous challenges, Zhou Lin now possesses 2100 points, though his exchange value is unclear.

But it should be no less than infinite space.

He hasn't been to the Infinite Space yet. Opening a path inside and improving one's mental will also bring a lot of rewards, and Zhou Lin can exchange for massive resources.

The system rewards were also pretty good; some of the God Emperor-level secret manuals from Snow Eagle could be studied, while the rest were mainly corpses and remains.

The abundance of resources only fueled Zhou Lin's growing ambition. Even before achieving the ultimate realm of the World Origin Great Dao, he was already considering how many mysteries he could integrate into his God Emperor stage.

Having traversed the previous battlefield, the fog ahead had cleared, revealing a bright and open path. Zhou Lin's detection range was so vast that he easily spotted all the challengers.

"As expected, none of Di Ming, Di Qing, Feng Xi, Yan Feng, and Lei Ting were eliminated." Zhou Lin's side still had quite a few God Kings eliminated.

The challenges in this palace are designed to help everyone improve their cultivation level as much as possible. The spirit will create suitable challenges based on each person's situation!
For example, the challenges faced by the Thunder Ancestor were different from those faced by everyone else; he had already reached a certain extreme within the cage!

After cultivating to the level of God Emperor, there are only a few ways to improve one's bloodline. The first is to switch to cultivation and enlightenment, and elevate one of the paths to the level of semi-primordial chaos. Combining these methods can even make one comparable to a peak existence.

The advancement of one's Dao would also elevate one's physical body once again, but the Thunder Ancestor clearly could not do this.

Secondly, it involves enhancing one's mental will, either by refining a high-level Hunyuan bloodline, a world-class Hunyuan bloodline, or by comprehending the mysteries within the bloodline.

These are all extremely difficult for the Thunder Ancestor. The only possible path is to directly refine the bloodline or enhance one's mental will.

Therefore, the trials the spirit gave him were all low-level chaotic sources of soul and mental will, allowing him to break through himself under the pressure of numerous illusions and will.

The perfect level of God Emperor's will is not the ultimate limit within the cage. The gap between it and the high-level Chaos Origin is so great that it can naturally be subdivided into many smaller levels.

After passing through two or three levels, the Thunder Ancestor's mind and will were also sublimated. If he could reach the end, he would be able to reach the advanced level of Hunyuan will!

Zhou Lin also saw the Earth God King and others. The Lord of Shadow Heaven Realm had been eliminated, and most of the other Emperors and God Kings were also out of the game.

Those who rely too much on external forces will not last long in such a place.

Soon, Zhou Lin faced his fourth challenge, which was also against a low-level Chaos Source, but this time there was only one, unlike before.

It took 130,000 years to pass the fourth level.

[Challenger: Zhou Lin]

Congratulations on passing the fourth level! You have unlocked the redemption function.

You have just passed the fourth level and earned 3000 points.

"Check the exchange list." Zhou Lin wanted to see if there were any secret treasures suitable for him to comprehend or use. At the same time, Luo Feng was already using the Eye of Life and Death, while he was still holding onto peak secret treasures as if they were precious.

It's really rather shabby.

However, if he were to go to the Infinite Space, he could also exchange for a large number of secret treasures.

[Heart of Hunyuan: Requires 2000 points to redeem.]

[Miniature Source World: Requires 2000 points to redeem]

Zhou Lin vaguely remembered that the Heart of Chaos and the Miniature Origin World in the Infinite Space both required 100081 reward points to redeem.

The result?! Only 2000?!
But upon closer reflection, he realized that he had passed the first three levels, killed two Thousand-Touched Dragon Sons and Emperor Flame, and triggered the second triple reward, thus gaining 2100 points.

The fourth level should normally be extremely difficult, but Zhou Lin's strength has improved significantly after several training sessions, and his opponent is also subject to many restrictions. "I need to exchange the Miniature Source World, and the Heart of Chaos is unnecessary. Let's look at other options." Zhou Lin also wanted another weapon.

Judging from the description, the miniature source world is likely primarily for helping people achieve enlightenment.

The top-ranked treasures are even more extravagant, including weapons forged from the body of the Primordial Ancestor of Chaos, but such treasures must never be taken out of the Origin World.

Taking it out is too risky, and might even provoke a frenzied attack from naturally occurring chaotic beings.

Only the treasures ranked 50th or lower did not have the risk warning that they could not be taken out of the source world. Zhou Lin carefully selected for a long time, but found that he did not have enough points.

"If I were to exchange for a secret treasure, my power would be limited anyway. It would be better to exchange for a miniature source world to study first." Zhou Lin thought for a moment and decided that his cultivation level was more important.

They immediately exchanged for the miniature source world.

Whoosh!
Soon, a prototype of a source world appeared before Zhou Lin.

He should be quite familiar with this game. The Yuan Na Sect's inheritance teaches how to create the prototype of the source world, with the operation of rules as the core. And this reward was obviously crafted by the lord himself.

This is different from the Origin Beads in the Dark Holy Realm. The Origin World prototypes and miniature Origin Worlds that cultivators refine themselves are definitely far less sophisticated.

When Luo Feng became a God King, he created a miniature Origin World within his body, but it merely imitated the structure of the Origin Continent and had no divine essence whatsoever.

The operating rules are merely the six major branches of life.

What Zhou Lin needs is a prototype of the Origin World that can be used to kill enemies.

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Zhou Lin integrated this miniature source world into his body. He now possessed an infinite universe within him, including both virtual and real universes.

Creating a universe also requires effort from the God-King; normally, having one internal universe is sufficient.

However, due to his cultivation of the Great Dao of the Void Realm, Zhou Lin's consumption and effects in opening up the universe were far greater than those of other God-Kings, and he used it for scientific research whenever he had free time.

As the miniature source world merged into it, all the real universes except for the virtual universe collapsed at this moment, turning into pure energy.

Integrating it into the body also requires time and effort to refine; it's something that only a God-King of the World's Origin Great Dao can basically do.

Zhou Lin's own miniature universe was also continuously supplying energy to refine this miniature source world as quickly as possible, and he was also receiving a massive amount of information at this time.

The ultimate goal of the Great Dao of the Origin of the World is to create the Origin World.

Although no one can do it yet, the prototype of the source world is becoming more and more sophisticated, and the operation of the rules is fully mature, only lacking the original system.

After being refined, this miniature source world can greatly aid in comprehending and cultivating, no less than facing the fundamental Dao of the world at all times.

The key point is that it also has combat applications, such as providing divine power that is tens of thousands of times stronger than in the previous small universe era, as well as world projection.

The method of world projection has never been a low-level method. It has been used since the time of Chaos Hole, Black Hole, Venerable, and World God. However, God King Luo Feng also has Chaos Undying Light.

Same methods, different mysteries, different powers.

With the projection of this miniature source world, Zhou Lin can draw upon the power of a wider range of worlds, and also has a more domineering way of suppressing.

Similar to cultivating the Great Dao of the Origin of Life, Zhou Lin also pursues the extreme vastness of the world; the larger it is, the stronger it will naturally be!

"I'm still missing a secret treasure of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect. I need to try to overcome as many challenges as possible." Zhou Lin cherished the opportunity before him and would try to comprehend it thoroughly each time before setting off.

Each level gives cultivators a hundred epochs to comprehend, meaning they can stay for a maximum of several hundred epochs.

After passing the fourth trial, the Flame Ancestor and the Thunder Ancestor met briefly.

“Thunder, I think we should create some obstacles for Zhou Lin.” Ancestor Yanfeng frowned and said, “He spends a lot of time comprehending each level before moving on to the next. I’m afraid he might directly reach the Ultimate Realm in the future.”

The Thunder's founder was also finding it increasingly difficult.

He had to fight tooth and nail to get through each level, and reaching the redemption points was probably his limit; there was no hope of going any further.

"Alright." Now that they could see Zhou Lin's location at any time, the two of them went to that world together.

……

"Um?!"

When Zhou Lin saw the Flame Wind Ancestor and the Thunder Ancestor arrive together, he understood why they were there—to prevent him from cultivating properly.

Forcing him to enter the level ahead of time is one thing, but it's even possible that they would forcibly kidnap Zhou Lin and have the three of them team up to run the dungeon. The difficulty of that would definitely be based on the two progenitors.

"What a vicious thought." Zhou Lin's face was somewhat unpleasant. How could he not know how difficult the later levels would be? He could definitely try by taking it one step at a time and gradually improving.

But with two progenitors forcing him, things were completely different.

“Malignant?” Ancestor Yanfeng smiled and said, “Zhou Lin, I’ll ask you one last time: can the karma between us be completely eliminated?”

“The Origin Continent is already devastated and in chaos. It’s pointless for you to say these things now, Yan Feng.” Zhou Lin said coldly, “The cause and effect have been set, so it’s a fight to the death.”

He was fearless of the two progenitors back then. Even though life was devastated, blood flowed like rivers, and the world was about to be destroyed, Zhou Lin's Dao heart remained unchanged.

It must be covered in blood to be considered finished.

"Then let's team up and try to clear the level," Thunder Ancestor said with a smile. He knew he couldn't do anything to Zhou Lin, so he could only annoy him.

"Then I'll thank you in advance."

Zhou Lin said firmly, "I was just worried that the difficulty wasn't high enough. It would be good if you two could increase it for me."

He won't compromise just because of a little difficulty.

Thus, the bizarre three-person alliance was formed. Di Qing was stunned when he saw this scene after passing the third trial. How could the ancestors of the two countries join hands with Zhou Lin?

"They've reconciled?!" Di Qing looked blankly. "Given the personality of this Cangyuan Kingdom ruler, is it really possible for them to reconcile?"

He was unaware that teaming up to complete the challenge would double the difficulty.

The atmosphere among the three was extremely strange. Zhou Lin knew that once inside, the ancestors of the two countries would not help him in the slightest, meaning he would have to face it all alone.

But so what?

Everyone's power is exactly the same, so he has no fear even if he has to undergo profound trials!
Soon, the world ahead began to change.

After the third level, the challenges were all conducted in independent spaces. Zhou Lin's expression remained calm, showing no unusual emotions whatsoever.

Such a state of mind puts one above the vast majority of cultivators.
