Devouring the Stars: Rising from the Snow Eagle System

Having comprehended the highest level of power, the next step is to create the complete Hunyuan Cause and Effect Dao.

According to Zhou Lin's design, the virtual world and the real world combined can only account for 20%, while the remaining 80% must be pure causality in order for his attack power to be strong enough.

The secret patterns of the main road were outlined, each with a different color. Each pattern reflected the past and present, and had already served as a record of the corridor.

The flames suddenly intensified, and the vast power of the world surged. The remains of the progenitors melted away, and Zhou Lin swung his sword at his own arm, severing his left hand.

The lord's blood essence spilled out, each drop terrifying enough to destroy a vast world, and now it all merged into the firelight, balancing this murderous aura.

The images of the past, present, and future vanish, leaving only the light of cause and effect.

"He's about to achieve enlightenment." Luo Feng's Hunyuan Blade Dao was only just beginning to take shape, but unexpectedly, Zhou Lin was already about to create a second Hunyuan Dao. The gap in their cultivation progress was too great.

Previously, Zhou Lin had broken the law with force, and he remained in the original place, unknown to the world.

Now, he has opened a path in the Hunyuan Space, and that blurry image has spread throughout the endless world, allowing all living beings to see this breathtaking sight.

The Sword of Judgment trembled violently, and countless Chaos Origin Powers were stirred up, crashing into the distance like a raging torrent, with far-reaching effects. If Zhou Lin harbored murderous intent, this move could have annihilated countless Chaos Origin beings.

"The fruit has been borne, and the calamity is myself." Zhou Lin integrated the continuous power of cause and effect into his divine body, merging it with the original world's great power.

The light of the soul is responsible for balance.

The power of the fruit at the Hunyuan level to attack the essence of life is even stronger than the stripping away of the Dao of Life. Only the initial absolute defense can avoid it; any other ancestor who dares to take it head-on will be severely injured.

Even the immortal progenitor felt a vague sense of threat. The three thieves of Wind, Thunder, and Sea looked at each other, for they had not taken control of the mysterious land, but had completely integrated into the highest level of power through their life cores.

Even if the main combat clones are destroyed, they can regroup in other areas.

A single thought is all it takes to be reborn.

But Zhou Lin's attacks just now truly ignored distance; even when separated by an endless distance, he could still kill a world-class Chaos Origin life form with a single thought.

This has nothing to do with offensive power; it comes about through cause and effect.

“We need to be more careful in the future,” Feng said. “Our thoughts and clones are at most stronger than a world-class Chaos Origin, and we might actually be able to be killed by him.”

Lei pondered for a moment and said, "It's not that bad. We are not those world-class Chaos Sources. How could the Ancestor not have causal means? He would have to split energy to attack all our thoughts at the same time, and the intensity of the attack would have to reach the perfect level of world-class Chaos Sources in order to kill us."

It's easy to destroy their main combat clones.

But with billions of thoughts, each requiring the strength to annihilate a world-class, perfected Chaos Origin Realm being, even the most powerful life form would find it difficult to accomplish that, right?

“The Dao is complete, my path is finished.” Zhou Lin’s planned path has been fully realized, with only the Void Realm Dao at the Hunyuan level remaining, but he does not yet have a specific direction.

After incorporating the Void Realm into the two Chaos Origin Paths, his soul techniques were only slightly stronger than Thousand Eyes and Ten Thousand Touch Dragon Mother, but far inferior to Mogus.

Having mastered the highest level of soul power, it is even stronger than a single Hunyuan Dao.

Not to mention the Chaotic Origin Soul Path, Zhou Lin has plenty of patience and is not in a hurry. Now that the two Chaotic Origin Paths are complete, it is time for the cultivator camp to truly reach the top of the Chaotic Origin Space!
No one knows how strong he is now. Zhou Lin felt that if he were to fight his former self, he could probably shatter the main battle clone with a single sword strike.

That sword of judgment, which carries the Great Dao, represents the ultimate weapon in the Chaotic Origin Space. Even the prize pool in the Abyss of Destruction cannot be stronger than it.

"Lord Zhou Lin is getting stronger and stronger. Will they still be satisfied with the territory under their command?" The Ancestor of Yan Huo had a bad feeling.

The cultivators were delighted, while the Ice Peak faction and the Innate Chaotic Life faction were worried. With such strength, it was inevitable that the cultivators would expand their territory.

…………

In the council hall of the original land, nine lords gathered to discuss how much territory they should conquer next.

Luo Feng sat to Zhou Lin's right. His main combat avatar was still venturing into the Abyss of Destruction, hoping to comprehend the second Chaos Origin Path as soon as possible and improve his combat power.

"To be on the safe side, we'll make our move once Lord Luo Feng's strength has increased significantly."

Naigu was the first to demand war, as he most desired to kill the progenitors of the Hunyuan and use their bloodlines to nourish his own path.

Jin, this Destruction Demon, although also a Cataclysmic cultivator, turned around and protected all living beings after breaking free from his shackles, which is fundamentally different from Naigu.

Zhou Lin glanced at Naigu casually.

He has already mastered the Path of Primordial Cause and Effect, making him far superior to Starlight in his ability to foresee the future. In the future timeline he sees, Naigu will become a catastrophe.

Moreover, this scene appeared more than once.

As Naigu devours more progenitors, his mental will becomes increasingly fragmented. He himself is the lord, while the rest of his wills are all progenitors, exerting a tremendous influence.

Even after countless years of death, the Primordial Ancestor's blood and hair still retain an endless will; just look at the two Primordial Ancestor corpses on the Realm Heart Continent.

Not to mention their bloodline, whose will is said to be eternal and indestructible. Naigu simply cannot completely eradicate them; he can only suppress them with his own efforts, but there are always times when he cannot suppress them.

By that day, Naigu should be neither a lord nor an ancestor.

How much territory are we planning to occupy this time?

What do you think of the 8,000-seat world cluster?

"That's a bit too few. We have a full nine Hunyuan Lords."

The lords were talking amongst themselves when Luo Feng suddenly spoke up, declaring that he wanted to conquer all the source worlds, and the extent of the territory to be conquered would be up to the other lords to decide.

Source world resources have lost their meaning for the lord.

They cannot absorb the origin of the source world to enhance their strength, so other rare treasures within their vast territory are the key.

Just like the naturally formed chaotic life camp, there are also groups within it that don't devour the origin of the source world much; instead, they care more about the size of their territory.

The core members of the Ice Peak faction are those who are immortal and indestructible. The other Primordial Ancestors still have a need for the Origin World's origin, but it is not the key.

It is too difficult to achieve immortality by devouring the origin of the source world.

Simply accumulating energy is meaningless; one must possess a matching level of understanding to realize its potential.

"Conquer all the source worlds?"

This is the dream of the ancient lords like Yuan and Jin, who have come from an era when they were devoured by others to become the strongest faction in the Hunyuan Space.

“That’s right.” Luo Feng smiled and said, “For world-class Hunyuan cultivators to break through, the core is to comprehend the Hunyuan Dao. For lords to break through, the core is still to comprehend the Dao. Therefore, we don’t have a high demand for other resources.”

While those resources can accelerate the growth of a world-class Chaos Source, in the early stages of a world-class Chaos Source, it is still at the Perfection stage and is meaningless to the faction.

Even if there's a world-level chaotic source worth hundreds of billions, so what? A lord can wipe out countless beings with a wave of his hand. "I think it's acceptable." Zhou Lin's gaze swept over the lords: "This is also the ultimate goal of our cultivator camp. No matter what, everyone must follow it from now on."

In the future he saw, the lords Yuan, Jin, Minghuang, and Wulan hadn't changed much; they still considered protecting the Origin World their duty.

These lords were born and raised in the Origin World, and have enjoyed countless resources from the cultivator camp, so they will never leave.

On the contrary, after Naigu became a catastrophe in the Hunyuan Space, it would no longer protect the Origin World, and might even deliberately destroy it to threaten the cultivator lords.

As they spoke, the light of the Great Dao descended, condensing into a Dao talisman before each of the lords. Inscribed on it was a blood oath of cause and effect, and its power was extremely terrifying.

"Zhou Lin, what do you mean by this?" Jin's expression changed: "Protecting the Origin World is the duty of all of us lords. What are you doing bringing up an oath?"

It was as if they were forcing him to do something.

As the dignified Lord of Hunyuan, an immortal being, if he had no interest in protecting cultivators, he would probably have long ago become a lone wolf, living a carefree life.

Zhou Lin said helplessly, "Brother Jin, the future is long, and what could be more binding than a causal oath? If you don't want to take the oath, I won't make things difficult for you; you can do it yourself."

Upon hearing Zhou Lin's words, Jin's expression softened somewhat.

"I swear, I will protect the Origin World for the rest of my life, and I will not break my oath even after countless years have passed." Naigu was the first to swear.

Once an oath is made, even if one leaves the ranks of cultivators, it cannot be broken.

With someone taking the lead, several lords also swore oaths one after another. A great causal force surrounded them in the darkness, and the recording corridor silently recorded this scene.

This is very important for the Hunyuan Space.

Zhou Lin just wanted to buy insurance for the future. Even if Naigu devoured more ancestral bloodlines, he wouldn't be considered a strongman to him, but a lord is immortal.

What if Nagu deliberately tries to destroy the Source World?
Zhou Lin must bind him with an oath.

“If an ordinary ancestor dared to break an oath, I wouldn’t even need to take action myself; the backlash of the great karma would be enough to destroy it,” Zhou Lin said with a smile. “As for the matter of the Origin World, there’s no need to wait for Luo Feng to comprehend the second Chaotic Origin Path. I have other ideas.”

"what idea?"

"Do you intend to negotiate with a naturally formed, chaotic being?"

“They won’t agree. Even if the Giant God Emperor agrees, the other emperors will definitely start a war, especially the Infinite Serpent Ancestor.” Yuan said helplessly, “Their race has devoured the most Origin Worlds.”

Yuan Tai understands these naturally primordial beings too well. How could they possibly tolerate not devouring the Origin World? The Giant God Emperor and others are one thing, but what about the other races?

Even if devouring the source world could no longer lead to progress, these progenitors would still devour it, purely to satisfy their desires.

…………

While the cultivators were having a meeting, the naturally formed, primordial beings were also busy.

The Nine Emperors gathered in the Realm of Giants, including Mogus, whose power had been annihilated by the Starlight by 99 percent, as well as several other solitary progenitors from the Chaos Origin Space.

The Ice Peak faction hasn't arrived yet. The Ice Peak Ancestor and Sha Zhou are still hesitant. Zhou Lin alone is manageable, but now Luo Feng has joined the fray.

A lord who breaks the law with force will surely comprehend the second Chaotic Origin Path. No one can say for sure how powerful the nine lords will be; perhaps even if they join forces, they will not be able to defeat them.

The Ice Peak Ancestor was always cautious, and he would only consider joining forces with the Infinite Serpent Ancestor and the others if he was at least 70% certain.

“Cultivators will definitely want to occupy more territory,” the Infinite Serpent Ancestor said coldly. “Everyone, if we tolerate this today, they will definitely take advantage of us.”

Zhou Lin's mere attainment of Dao through weapon crafting brought immense pressure to this group of naturally born Chaotic Origin beings.

The scene was incredibly shocking.

The Giant Emperor sat in the main seat. He was not a proponent of war, but he probably realized that cultivators would inevitably expand their territory, so this battle was unavoidable.

However, the Giant Emperor also had his own considerations. His lineage had many progenitors, and as the leader, he had to be responsible to his followers.

If the cultivators' demands are not excessive, the Giant God Emperor will decide to be patient.

Even if he doesn't participate in the war, the ancestors that the Infinite Serpent Ancestor can summon will definitely be brutally beaten by the cultivators who are at the height of their power.

"This is intolerable!" Mogus was furious. "That new lord, in conjunction with Starlight, can annihilate 99% of my power. If they occupy more territory, how will I continue to devour others? And how will you devour them?"

The primordial world of the naturally formed, primordial life form was very damaged, and Mogus looked down on it.

If you want to eat, you have to eat the source world within the cultivator's territory.

"Megus, do you have any ideas?" the Endless Ancestor asked curiously. "Create an illusion for those lords and severely weaken their strength."

Just as Mogus was about to speak triumphantly, he was interrupted by the Infinite Serpent Ancestor: "Everyone, Lord Zhou Lin has arrived in my Infinite World."

"what?!"

All the ancestors were stunned; this person had actually come to their doorstep.

The vast power of cause and effect surged in the infinite world. The Infinite Serpent Ancestor understood that it was Zhou Lin, but he did not stop the power from descending. Instead, he waited quietly.

In the infinite world, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor can instantly condense a main battle avatar, and it is confident that it is meaningless for a single lord to break in.

A dozen minutes later, a figure in a pale gold robe descended.

Zhou Lin curiously examined the clouds. As a mysterious place of intermediate level, it could also observe the entire Hunyuan Space. Each cloud corresponded to a source world in the outside world.

The ground was an endless expanse of black soil, corresponding to the vast territory of the primordial space.

Through the clouds, Infinite Orochi also gained the ability to teleport.

"Lord Zhou Lin, what brings you to my Infinite World?" The Infinite Serpent Ancestor revealed its true form, its two eyes fixed on Zhou Lin, trying to judge just how strong he was by his aura.

Unfortunately, the forces of cause and effect intertwined to form a magnificent garment, and the Infinite Serpent Ancestor was unable to decipher its mysteries.

“Let’s talk. You have to give up all the source worlds.” Zhou Lin cut straight to the point: “We can slow down the expansion of our territory, but the source worlds must be given to us.”

"wishful thinking."

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor coldly replied, "The Origin World is the most important resource for us naturally born primordial beings. How could we possibly give it to you?"

"Then there's nothing to talk about." Zhou Lin pointed at the Infinite Serpent Ancestor: "If there's nothing to talk about, then let's fight. Having all nine lords attack at once is bullying you. I'll come to the Infinite World myself. You summon all nine emperors. If I lose, I won't bring this up again." (End of Chapter)
