Devouring the Stars: Rising from the Snow Eagle System

Kafshu is the most warlike person in the Hunyuan Space. He enjoys the pleasure that battle brings him and has a rather bold and forthright personality.

Having witnessed Zhou Lin's solo kill of the progenitor during that great battle, Kafshu was filled with envy, yearning to duel with such a master and improve his skills.

Within the Hunyuan Space, improving one's skills greatly enhances combat power.

“Kafshu, I don’t have time to spar with you right now, but Lord Luo Feng has already started his adventures in the Abyss of Destruction. Perhaps you can wait for him?” Zhou Lin didn’t want to waste time fighting him right now.

They are all immortal beings, and it's not impossible for them to fight for tens of thousands of epochs.

"Can Lord Luo Feng be as powerful as you?" Kafshu asked like a curious child: "You've only just become a lord, yet you're already comparable to Sha Zhou. Lord Luo Feng shouldn't be as powerful as you."

Zhou Lin replied helplessly, "Kafshu, I promise you, after Lord Luo Feng has fought you in the Abyss of Destruction, I will definitely fight you."

As he spoke, a powerful force of cause and effect resonated, its influence sweeping across the entire Eternal Land. This was a promise Zhou Lin made using the Dao of a Lord.

"What is this?!" Kafshu's eyes widened in disbelief. "I sense a karmic connection is about to unfold. If you break the agreement, will you pay a heavy price?"

The Hunyuan Space has never produced the highest power of cause and effect, so all previous promises and anything else could only be made based on conscience.

Perhaps only the lords' promises have any value, because if an enlightened being breaks them, it will affect their Dao heart. Once a flaw appears in their spiritual level, it will be difficult to make further progress.

Zhou Lin replied, "It's a causal method. If you need it, I can also make you make a causal vow. If you break it, you will be afflicted by calamity."

Kafshu felt that the world of Hunyuan Space might be about to change. Zhou Lin was able to come up with such a method. Wouldn't that mean that the immortal ancestors would have a way to restrain him in the future?
A being of the Colossus Emperor's caliber would face extremely severe consequences if it swore a blood oath of cause and effect and dared to break it.

While breaking their oath to be immortal and indestructible isn't fatal, the endless attacks of calamity will still greatly annoy them.

The three thieves of Wind, Thunder, and Sea, who are immortal and indestructible, may be shattered by karma as soon as they condense their clones. Zhou Lin's method has a great impact on many forces in the Hunyuan Space.

"Alright, I need to focus on my cultivation now." Zhou Lin waved his hand repeatedly and said, "I promised to spar with you, and I definitely will. You just wait for Lord Luo Feng."

Zhou Lin was immersed in researching the Eternal Land, while Luo Feng stepped into the Abyss of Destruction to begin his adventure. The two lords, who had just broken through the laws with force, would experience a rapid increase in strength.

Unfortunately, researching the Eternal Land was far too difficult. Zhou Lin spent three centuries there but still couldn't figure it out, so he had to give up.

He vaguely sensed that immense power of the world, but he couldn't figure out how to refine it or find its source. Perhaps his cultivation level was too low.

"The Hunyuan Space is a mysterious place with causal power. I can only sense the recording corridor. The starlight is still there, so I'll go and take a look around."

Although Zhou Lin could explore the entire Hunyuan Space in an instant, that was only a general matter; the specific details had to be observed by oneself.

Although he had been guided by the Star Lord, he could only see part of the cultivators' territory. As for places further away, they were too dangerous to go.

Swish!
Zhou Lin first used cause and effect to summon his main battle avatars near the infinite world.

Infinite world.

This medium-sized mysterious place is the first world born in the infinite primordial space. The ground is covered with endless black soil, and the sky is filled with clouds.

Each cloud represents a source world in the outside world.

"What is that?" The Infinite Serpent Ancestor looked at the vast golden light outside.

It suddenly recalled that during the war, it seemed that the new lord Zhou Lin had descended in the same way, with endless light gradually gathering and finally condensing into the shape of Zhou Lin.

"Lord Zhou Lin? What is he doing in the Infinite World?" The Infinite Serpent Ancestor was not afraid. The closer he got to the mysterious place, the greater the bonus.

If Zhou Lin dares to break in, he can use the power of the Infinite World to suppress him and render him unable to move.

"The power structure of this infinite world must be composed of both void and infinity." Zhou Lin was eager to go in and explore, but the Infinite Serpent Ancestor was there, watching him intently.

There were also more than a dozen ancestors watching.

Outside the infinite world are several dilapidated source worlds, devoid of any living beings, their origins extremely weak.

Two world-class Chaos Origin beings are hovering outside the Origin World, greedily absorbing the Origin. After they have devoured enough Origin, they will have the opportunity to evolve into Chaos Origin Ancestors.

The two world-class Chaos Origin Infinite Serpents were unaware of this, believing they were safe here.

After all, this is the territory of the Serpent Ancestor.

In the later era, Luo Feng dared to pierce through a group of worlds with a single strike outside the Infinite Worlds, and even dared to establish a cultivation holy world nearby.

"You still dare to devour the Origin World?" Zhou Lin's cold gaze swept over them, and the immense power of cause and effect descended, instantly causing the two world-level Chaos Origin Infinite Serpents to vanish into thin air.

"you dare!"

Enraged, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor immediately flew out of the Infinite World, its towering body hovering in the void, glaring at Zhou Lin.

Even if the opponent wants to kill a world-class Chaos Origin, it can't protect itself.

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor never expected Zhou Lin to be so disrespectful, coming all the way to the vicinity of the Infinite World to kill its race.

The power of the void began to spread, and the Infinite Serpent Ancestor was ready to fire at any moment. If Zhou Lin came to its doorstep and then just left, what would become of its reputation?
"Dare to devour the Origin World? Of course I'll kill you." Zhou Lin made no attempt to hide his killing intent: "Infinite Serpent Ancestor, this isn't your Infinite World. Are you sure you want to fight me?"

Within the Infinite World, the Serpent Ancestor possesses approximately a five-fold increase in power, not including its various other ingenious methods and techniques. However, once it emerges and engages in combat with Zhou Lin, it will undoubtedly be utterly crushed.

"You killed my people, you must give me an explanation," the Infinite Serpent Ancestor said through gritted teeth.

Chi!
An endless beam of sword light began to spread, followed by the arrival of Luo Feng's phantom in black robes.

Luo Feng in black robes wasn't a main combat avatar, but his presence here spoke volumes about his attitude. He looked at the Infinite Serpent Ancestor with a half-smile: "I've only recently become a lord and haven't fought a war yet. Can you grant me this wish today?"

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor did not reply. The current innate chaotic life force was no longer willing to go to war with cultivators.

Those are nine lords.

It's obvious they're trying to intimidate you with their power. What can you, Infinite Serpent Ancestor, do about it?
"The Infinite Serpent Ancestor is used to stepping on cultivators' heads and has been bullying them for a long time. If I were it, I would just play dead and not show myself." The Ice Peak Ancestor was the most gloating.

He also has a great grudge against the Natural Chaos Life Faction.

The other eight emperors would not be able to show their faces at this time either; the Infinite Serpent Ancestor must lose face today.

If they take action, they will be humiliated by Zhou Lin.

If you don't take action, you'll just suffer in silence.

"Hmph!" The Infinite Serpent Ancestor gave his signature cold snort before returning directly to the Infinite World.

It's better to suffer in silence than to be beaten up. At this moment, almost all the prominent ancestors in the entire Hunyuan Space were watching this place, but Zhou Lin suddenly raised the Sword of Judgment in his hand.

The Sword of Judgment radiated an overwhelming light, extremely dazzling. Its lord-level power rippled outwards, causing the group of high-level Chaos Origin beings to tremble in fear. If Zhou Lin harbored any murderous intent, they would perish instantly.

Zhou Lin controlled half of the world cluster. Every bit of Lord-level energy passed through the spacetime layer, generating even more powerful energy, all of which was concentrated on the sword's edge.

"Is Zhou Lin trying to break into the Infinite World?" Luo Feng was somewhat stunned.

The other lords, though they wanted to expand their territories, were preparing to wage war only after Zhou Lin and Luo Feng had both comprehended another Hunyuan Dao.

"That's just his personality. Get ready for battle." Naigu was the most excited one. Every time he fought and killed the progenitors, it was an opportunity for him to improve.

With two new Hunyuan Lords born, Naigu had long wanted to have a good fight so that he could kill more ancestors and improve himself.

"From this day forward, anyone who dares to devour a world-class Chaos Origin from the Origin World will die!!!" After Zhou Lin finished speaking, he directly swung his sword, and boundless sword energy instantly engulfed the vast void.

The sword energy was so vast that its end could not be seen at all. It seemed to radiate throughout the entire world cluster before exploding outwards with a deafening roar, spreading over an endless distance.

At the same time, a large number of world-level Chaos Origin beings in the Chaos Origin Space suddenly died. They were all devouring the Origin World, but were instantly annihilated by the power of cause and effect!

With a single sword strike, no matter how far apart they were, they annihilated that group of world-class Chaos Origin beings in any corner of the Chaos Origin Space. This truly meant ignoring distance!

"How could he possibly do that?!" The Endless Ancestor was stunned. Even killing an opponent across a world cluster was difficult. How far away was Zhou Lin?

There are more than 100,000 world clusters!
"Excellent swordsmanship!!" Kafshu laughed heartily, feeling incredibly excited at the thought of sparring with an opponent like Zhou Lin in the future.

The Ice Peak Ancestor, who was still watching the spectacle, was somewhat displeased. Zhou Lin had just killed a group of world-class Chaos Source beings, and some of their subordinates were among them.

Zhou Lin's attack was achieved by leveraging the causal influence of the Source World.

He has karmic connections with countless beings. He believes this in his heart, and over time it will transform into real karma, engraved in the world, eternal and indestructible.

If Zhou Lin dares to devour the Origin World and countless living beings, he can rely on the power of karmic descent. Unless tens of thousands of world-level Chaos Origin are devoured at the same time, he will not be able to kill them all simultaneously.

Zhou Lin could easily annihilate a mere thousand or so world-class Chaos Origin Devourers.

Sheathing the Sword of Judgment, Zhou Lin began his travels through the area near the Infinite World. He went to the world where the Giant Emperor and his allies resided, as well as to the territories of the other nine emperors.

The source worlds within these territories are all extremely dilapidated.

Zhou Lin stepped into a broken source world. The origin of this world was so weak that it could not stop outsiders at all, and there was no most basic resistance.

In a normal world, if a lord dares to descend in his true form, the supreme rules will immediately self-destruct.

The world was extremely desolate, the void was filled with a faint blood color, and the occasional landmass that drifted by was all yellow sand, devoid of any life.

The origin of the world is fundamentally incapable of giving birth again.

It is extremely difficult to restore it. The residual power of the primordial life force will cause the origin to decay and become utterly corrupt, requiring an extremely long period of time to give birth to new life.

But the most likely scenario is that this primordial world will be directly drained and destroyed by the primordial life form.

Zhou Lin sliced ​​through the timeline with his palm, drawing the vast and mighty power of chaos into the world, and then expelling all the remnants of chaos life.

“Hatred, this world is full of hatred.” Zhou Lin saw the past through the timeline, a time of endless prosperity and a large number of cultivators.

But as the primordial life force invaded, everything was utterly destroyed, and countless lives perished, leaving behind feelings of resentment and bitterness.

As time passed, these emotions transformed into hatred, which was also the deepest force of cause and effect. Zhou Lin carefully contemplated this, letting the scene play out before his eyes.

Hatred, or anything like that, no longer matters to him.

Lord-level beings already possess extremely strong mental fortitude, let alone Zhou Lin, who is a soul cultivator. His Dao heart is so firm that it will not waver in the slightest no matter how much time passes.

"Hatred is the cause, and my sword will eventually become the effect."

Zhou Lin murmured, "And I am the greatest cause and effect, the strongest calamity in the Hunyuan Space."

From this moment on, Zhou Lin's Dao heart for the second Hunyuan Dao was formed, although he had not yet comprehended the specific Dao and was still very far from it.

However, the framework of the second Hunyuan Road will not change.

After leaving this Origin World, the incarnation of the Endless Ancestor was waiting for Zhou Lin outside.

"Lord Zhou Lin, do you really intend to forbid world-class Chaos Origin beings from devouring the Origin World?" The Endless Ancestor coldly replied, "This is the rule. Since the birth of the Chaos Origin Space, we Chaos Origin beings have been born to devour the Origin World."

In the current Chaos Origin Space, no world-class Chaos Origin dares to devour the Origin World; even the progenitors have to think twice.

Zhou Lin has a history of solo killing the progenitor.

“Endless Ancestor, what kind of rule is this?” Zhou Lin said firmly, “Let me tell you what a rule is: survival of the fittest, the law of the jungle, is the rule!”

"Then aren't we, as naturally primordial beings, devouring the source world, just like the law of the jungle?"

"Therefore, you will also be devoured by the beings of our Origin World. The relationship between hunter and prey is constantly changing. Your flesh and blood, your materials are extremely useful to us. Apart from all the primordial life forms that are immortal and indestructible, they are all prey!"

Zhou Lin pointed at the Endless Ancestor and said, "If you're not convinced, then let the world-class Chaos Origin beings continue to devour you. I want to see how many dare to do so."

He did not claim to be righteous, but rather viewed these events as cause and effect.

Even the Endless Ancestor himself was not immortal, so he was powerless to refute these words.

All the forces in the Hunyuan Space understood Zhou Lin's attitude.

“There will be war.” The Ancestor of Fire was extremely displeased: “Their cultivators are strong now, but they won’t always be the strongest. The Ice Peak camp can’t accept such an overbearing attitude.”

Are naturally primordial beings not allowed to devour the source world?

With only the limited resources of the Hunyuan Space, how slow can progress be?

After Zhou Lin finished traveling through the Origin World, he went to various regions, such as the Fire Crystal Origin Land, the Purple Evolution Mining Area, and the Hunyuan Space, which has many resource-producing areas in addition to mysterious places.

There is a large amount of high-grade primordial minerals being mined there.

"My path is beginning to take shape." Zhou Lin began to conceive the proportions of his second Chaotic Origin Path. (End of Chapter)
