Devouring the Stars: Rising from the Snow Eagle System

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor, who had initially thought victory was assured, became increasingly flustered as the battle progressed. Even with the combined power of Infinite Power and Void Power, he was completely unable to restrain Zhou Lin.

If it goes head-to-head, it will be suppressed.

The other eight emperors fought with their hands tied, as they had to be wary of Zhou Lin's killing moves and also prevent the accumulation of too many karmic wounds.

The erosion of cause and effect is inescapable; it is the divine essence of the Great Dao, pervasive and all-pervasive in all time and space.

……

The original place, the council hall.

All the lords are waiting for the outcome of the war.

“Starlight, I am 30% confident that I can completely kill the Mother of Time and Space, but I need your cooperation.” Zhou Lin’s clone suddenly said, “I will first recover to one ten-thousandth of my power, and then we will go to your Time Star.”

Yuan couldn't believe what he had just heard.

Completely annihilate the Mother of Time and Space?

In the past, cultivators had destroyed the Mother of Time's main battle avatar, but it could be resurrected in the past and the future.

"Even the starlight of the Time-Space Path can't do it, how can you?" Minghuang blinked. "A true annihilation, so that it can never be resurrected?"

Zhou Lin nodded: "That's why I also need the Starlight's cooperation."

Xingmang trusted Zhou Lin completely, and immediately took him to Time Star. The two of them were able to perfectly conceal all their auras and were not discovered by any living beings.

In particular, Zhou Lin's body was shrouded in a gauze robe, making him seem isolated from the mortal world, unlike a being belonging to the Hunyuan Space.

“Sometimes when I look at you, you seem to radiate endless karma, but right now there isn’t even a trace of karma.” Starlight also sighed, “With the help of this gauze robe, you might be able to travel through the past and future.”

“A relatively recent timeline is possible, but anything too far back is impossible, which is why I need your help.” Zhou Lin sat on the Time Star, looking around at the vast expanse of space and time.

There are too many timelines, practically endless. Each timeline is a complete primordial space, and with the help of the Time Star, Starlight can better step into the past and future.

"Starlight, how many traces of the Mother of Time and Space can you find through the Star of Time?" Zhou Lin asked solemnly.

“One hundred and eighty million kinds,” Starlight replied. “But it’s very difficult to erase its existence at the same time. Its life core has long been completely integrated into the highest level of power and can manifest in the past and future at any time.”

Starburst had previously killed the main battle avatar of the Mother of Time and Space, and even traveled to various timelines to erase its existence as much as possible.

After a long period of time, Mother Time was resurrected.

Even the Star Radiance, the Primordial Lord of the Time and Space Dao, has limited destructive power over the past and future, let alone the power to annihilate all the forces of the Mother of Time and Space.

"I will go all out in the present world to annihilate the Mother of Time's main battle avatar." Zhou Lin was extremely excited: "Starlight, at that time my avatar will cooperate with you to use cause and effect to trace the endless timeline and find every strand of its power."

……

In the present world, Zhou Lin's sword strikes are always indiscriminate, aiming to cover the Nine Emperors as much as possible. This is also a process of accumulating cause and effect.

Whoosh~

The boundless power surged like a tide, resisting most of the sword energy.

With a wave of his sleeve, Zhou Lin unleashed a universe that suppressed the boundless waves.

"Is his power truly inexhaustible? How come he hasn't exhausted himself yet?" The Giant Emperor was very puzzled: "He's fighting all nine of us emperors alone, and this is in the Infinite World. He shouldn't be able to replenish his energy."

In the outside world, even a normal lord can absorb the power of chaos very quickly, let alone Zhou Lin. But in the infinite world, without the permission of the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, no one can absorb energy.

Little did they know that Zhou Lin possessed a source world within his body, with energy reserves sufficient to allow Wu Lan, and even Luo Feng, to recover their main battle clones several times over.

"A good opportunity." Zhou Lin clashed with the Serpent Ancestor again, then dodged several sweeping attacks of the highest level of power, getting very close to the Eighth Emperor.

Although the Mother of Time and Space was near the beginning, Zhou Lin still resolutely took action, igniting his main battle clone and his inner world!

The raging flames illuminated the entire infinite world, and endless sword lights appeared, each one exceeding the size of the Holy Realm, truly colossal.

Even world-class Chaos Origin experts appeared extremely insignificant before this sword light. The endless sword light made the Giant God Emperor and others feel uneasy. What kind of power was this?!
Each sword light contained a vast amount of cause and effect, the resentment emanating from countless slaughtered beings and countless devoured source worlds. Now, Zhou Lin used it to seek revenge against the innate chaotic source camp.

The process of the sword light's birth seemed slow, but it had already taken shape several minutes earlier. When it truly descended, it was as if time itself had been reversed, and countless rivers of time were flowing backward.

"kill!!!"

This roar echoed through countless worlds, reverberating within the primordial space, clearly audible in the past, present, and future.

As the sword light raged, those non-immortal progenitors all fled into the body of the Primordial One. They didn't even have the courage to fight against it; if they took the hit head-on, someone would surely perish!

The Endless Ancestor, the Ancestor of Annihilation, the Giant God Emperor, the Primordial Beast Ancestor, and the Ancestor of the Black Tide successively entered the Initial Body, while the Mother of Time and Space and the Ancestor of Evolutionary Fire were slower.

It was only a moment's delay before countless sword lights came crashing down.

Boom! !

The towering body of the Mother of Time and Space began to collapse, each sword light severing it from every angle, shattering before even entering the initial body.

Even though some of the output was transferred through spacetime, the remaining power was still terrifyingly immense, easily shattering it.

The corpses were all gone. Zhou Lin's causal attack truly annihilated all life force of the Mother of Time and Space, erased its existence, and even made many living beings forget it.

The three original beings—the Progenitor of Fire, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, and the Primordial One—were unharmed.

The sword light pierced through the membrane of the infinite world, affecting the vast surrounding world cluster. The low-level Chaos Sources in this area died instantly. Fortunately, the high-level Chaos Sources and World-level Chaos Sources had migrated away in advance, otherwise they would have been no different from those low-level Chaos Sources.

The power of a lord-level being is far too lethal to low-level enemies.

"What terrifying destructive power." The Infinite Ancestor tried to stop it immediately, mobilizing the power of the Infinite Worlds to enhance it, but it was easily crushed by the sword light.

Zhou Lin's strength is comparable to that of seven lords in formation, and even the Nine Emperors would find it extremely difficult to withstand him unless there were more progenitors.

The Mother of Time and Space had been annihilated before, and she would be no exception when facing Zhou Lin, who had a stronger penetrating ability. Her main battle clone and some of her life cores were shattered!

"Destroy his main battle clone!" The Infinite Serpent Ancestor's judgment was accurate: "He should still have his inner world burning just now. With such terrifying power, he definitely can't unleash it continuously."

Logically speaking, Zhou Lin should be at his last gasp by now.

As long as his main battle clone is killed, the Nine Emperors will be victorious in this battle.

"kill!"

Various top-level forces intertwined and swept in, with the Infinite Serpent Ancestor going all out, mobilizing as much power as possible to annihilate Zhou Lin.

Blood and fire mingled, unleashing an extremely terrifying destructive force that roared forth, interspersed with black mist and colorful light, forming an ultimate attack! With the eight emperors joining forces, even a sand boat that dared to take this attack head-on would be shattered!

The apocalyptic scene terrified many lord-level life forms, and the war had already taken on the form of a faction war.

"Come on." Zhou Lin remained calm, letting the forces rush towards him. He still gripped the Sword of Judgment tightly in his hand, the sword light gathering around him to resist the impact.

Boom! ! !
After the attack, many parts of Zhou Lin's divine body cracked, but he was not completely shattered.

A myriad of rays of light appeared, and in less than half a second, Zhou Lin's main battle clone had already recovered, his aura still at its peak. His tiger eyes were wide open as he looked down at the ancestors.

All the remaining injuries to the divine body vanished; the highest-level powers, such as infinity and the void, could not cause any sustained damage.

"Looks like you still can't kill me." Zhou Lin grinned. "There's no need to continue this battle, is there?"

He transferred the power to Wulan, only absorbing a portion of the energy himself.

It was just a hair's breadth away. If the Mother of Time and Space hadn't died, with the strength of Zhou Lin's divine body after burning his clones, he would definitely have been blasted into nothingness by the combined forces of the Nine Emperors.

The eight emperors fell silent. The moment they made their move, Zhou Lin was already in a weakened state after launching his attack, yet the opponent was unharmed.

There's really no point in taking action again.

Of course, in the infinite world, Zhou Lin could no longer kill anything. The Infinite Serpent Ancestor summoned a large number of progenitors to oversee the situation, making him virtually invincible.

"How could you possibly do such a thing?" The Infinite Serpent Ancestor was extremely unwilling: "You didn't even control the Mysterious Land, relying solely on two Chaos Origin Paths?"

Little did he know how powerful the Chaotic Origin Dao became after being mixed with a soul. It was only after the dual Chaotic Origin Daos were amplified by the Void Realm that Zhou Lin possessed the strength of three Chaotic Origin Daos that others lacked.

As for taking control of ordinary mysterious places, it wouldn't significantly improve Zhou Lin's abilities. His mechanics have already reached their peak, and a power increase of about two times would be meaningless.

Shuangdao Luofeng could easily crush the sand boat. After mastering part of the Abyss of Destruction, he should have been able to kill the progenitor at will, but he still couldn't.

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor's bonus is only five times when he is inside the world.

Unless one fully controls the highest level of mysterious lands, the bonus can truly be called a qualitative change, and the multiplier can no longer measure such combat power.

Those low- to mid-level mysterious lands could probably be wiped out with a flick of the wrist by the three powers.

"A win is a win, and a loss is a loss." Zhou Lin looked outwards: "Infinite Serpent Ancestor, the Chaotic Origin Space is about to usher in a new era. Do you acknowledge it?"

Through the clouds of the infinite world, he saw the entire Hunyuan Space.

They also glimpsed the future era of the Hunyuan Space, a future of extreme prosperity for cultivators, where other forces also had their own unique charm.

Despite its immense resentment, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor had no choice but to admit defeat. Zhou Lin's strength was too terrifying, and with Mogus's help, it had no will to fight any longer.

Moreover, as the Lord of the Chaos Origin Karma Dao, Zhou Lin is destined to be extremely skilled at assassinating ancestors. Judging from his sword strike just now, most ancestors would be instantly killed.

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor would never want to offend this god of death again.

The clash between opposing factions is nothing. If Zhou Lin and Xingmang join forces to assassinate the progenitor from the shadows, then the progenitors of Hunyuan will have to unite dozens of them before daring to venture out.

"From now on, all the source worlds in the Hunyuan Space will be under the command of you cultivators." The Infinite Serpent Ancestor said coldly, "I can't control the other factions. We, the naturally born Hunyuan life faction, will no longer devour source worlds."

Even without the words of the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, probably few beings would dare to devour the Origin World, including those immortal beings.

Zhou Lin's battle has truly shaken the Hunyuan Space.

The three thieves of Wind, Thunder, and Sea were the first to back down. Even though they didn't have a good relationship with cultivators, they didn't dare to provoke them anymore because Zhou Lin truly instilled fear in them.

Immortal?

If Zhou Lin were to take control of another medium-level mysterious land, and join forces with the eight lords of the cultivators to form an array, it would not be impossible for them to destroy other low-level mysterious lands.

"The new era is not just about this." Zhou Lin smiled mysteriously, his unspoken meaning being that the definition of immortality would need to be revised from now on.

After saying that, Zhou Lin leaped away from the Infinite World, leaving behind only the bewildered Eighth Emperor.

"Fortunately, the Mother of Time and Space is not very powerful and can be resurrected, so it has no impact on the faction for the time being." The Giant Emperor sighed, "Infinite Serpent Ancestor, I'm afraid there will be no more wars for the long years to come."

Suddenly, he said, "His damage output against me is very high, stronger than all the other lords combined. Giant God Emperor, you will die if you dare to take that sword head-on."

No one would question the initial authority to speak in the field of defense.

It said that if the Giant Emperor were to face it head-on, he would die, and that meant he would die. The other progenitors were not immortal, but perhaps the Endless Progenitor would have a chance to survive.

None of the others could withstand Zhou Lin's sword strike.

…………

The Mother of Time and Space's main battle avatar had just been destroyed when it began to revive in countless endless time and space. It would only take a million epochs to reappear.

In every corner of the Hunyuan Space, in every world, and even in the endless cosmic sea, the power of the Mother of Time and Space exists.

"Let's begin, Starburst." Zhou Lin's clone and Starburst attacked simultaneously.

The power of spacetime inexplicably rippled outwards, and the starlight traced the existence of the Mother of Spacetime, before easily obliterating the life core power he had discovered.

The starlight has always been like this; some traces can be found, but destroying it is meaningless, as the Mother of Time and Space will always be resurrected.

"Tracing back to the cause and effect!" Zhou Lin's clone immediately burst into flames, and countless causal lines appeared before the starlight, each corresponding to a trace of the power of the Mother of Time and Space.

The sheer number of these causal lines is staggering; they cannot be precisely calculated using numbers.

“No wonder I couldn’t destroy it before.” Starlight clicked his tongue in amazement. He traced back to hundreds of millions of units of power from the Mother of Time and Space, which he had originally thought was more than half.

However, in reality, the power of the Mother of Time permeates almost every timeline, making it virtually limitless, and its survival method differs from that of other progenitor life cores.

Other immortal progenitors, after their life cores are integrated with the highest level of power, can manifest or condense clones with a single thought, but they all need to maintain the strength of their clones.

If it is too weak, or even only at the early stage of the world-class Hunyuan level, then the strength of Xingmang and Shazhou can trace and destroy everything.

The primordial being divided into billions of thoughts, and erasing each one was no less difficult than annihilating a world-class Chaos Origin Perfection cultivator. However, the Mother of Time and Space did not need to maintain her strength.

It doesn't matter if every bit of its power or every thought is only at a low level of Chaos Origin strength; its advantage lies in its sheer quantity. As long as it can't be completely eradicated, it can be resurrected on different timelines.

This is the defying nature of the spacetime path. You must know that the Void Path is very good at creating clones in the Origin World, let alone reaching the highest level.

The claim that Starburst traces back to hundreds of millions of units of power is merely a smokescreen.

“No wonder I couldn’t find any trace of it.” Starlight finally understood: “It is not as good as me in terms of time, nor as good as the Infinite Serpent Ancestor in terms of void, but its ability to preserve its life is indeed strong.”

The Mother of Time and Space has spread her power too thinly and too widely.

Some futures are too far away, invisible to the starlight and even to Mother Time herself, yet they can still allow a sliver of power to pass through them.

This tiny bit of power usually has no meaning. Starlight can do the same thing, but it is too weak to glimpse the future.

“I’ve traced these powers back to what I believe to be everything,” Zhou Lin said confidently. “If we erase them, Mother of Time and Space should truly die.”

The lords calculated extremely quickly; after Zhou Lin traced the strength and quantity of each strand of power, he was able to reach the level of the progenitor.

That's why he made that judgment.

Even if not all of them, if Mother Time and Space wanted to come back to life, it would take at least hundreds of billions of epochs, or even longer. The most likely scenario is that she will never be able to revive.

"Die, Mother of Time and Space." Xingmang and Zhou Lin attacked simultaneously. After the war ended, Zhou Lin had switched his main battle clone over and was in peak condition.

The power of spacetime extends along the causal lines to the past and future. Zhou Lin merely serves as a guiding light; at most, he can only erase the causal relationships that exist within trillions of years.

If it goes any further, Starlight would have to intervene. His power extends to the past, but he himself cannot reach such a distant future. This is a kind of balance in the Chaos Origin Space.

The power was fine in the past, but it couldn't even reach the high-level Hunyuan level, so it couldn't make any waves in the entire Hunyuan space.

This wisp of power had no consciousness whatsoever; it simply spread out and vanished, having completed its mission.

In a future timeline, in a certain world cluster, a Primordial Ancestor of Chaos suddenly frowned. He vaguely sensed a flickering power, extremely small, but he could not find any trace of it when he tried to trace it.

Although this force was very weak, it made it inexplicably uneasy.

"Could it be Lord Zhou Lin who made the move?" This Primordial Ancestor of Hunyuan felt somewhat afraid, but cultivators and innate Hunyuan had not fought for many years, so in theory, it shouldn't be.

The power of the starlight, following the direction Zhou Lin pointed out, maintained a semi-primordial strength as it spread past, annihilating all traces of the Mother of Time and Space.

From that moment on, even the world's top-tier Chaos Sources began to forget the Mother of Time and Space, forgetting the existence of this progenitor. Zhou Lin's causal killing move was too terrifying.

To eradicate a life from its very source.

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor, the Giant God Emperor, and others finally realized something was wrong.

The world-class Chaos Origin beings under their command couldn't remember who the Mother of Time and Space was at all; only beings of the same level could recall her.

"Could it be that Zhou Lin truly obliterated the Mother of Time and Space?" The Infinite Serpent Ancestor felt a chill run down his spine. This was an immortal being who had never died throughout the ages.

It couldn't believe it was true. Initially, even the Progenitor of Fire didn't believe it, still clinging to the belief that the Mother of Time and Space would return after countless ages.

Immortal and indestructible should mean it can never be killed.

In the past, future, and present, there is no trace of the Mother of Time and Space; it is as if it never existed in the primordial space.

Regardless of whether the Mother of Time and Space is completely dead, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor has lost the courage to provoke the cultivator camp. As long as Zhou Lin exists, it will obediently be a serpent.

Zhou Lin also prepared to begin cultivating in seclusion, hoping to comprehend the Primordial Soul Dao as soon as possible, and also to free up his time to mentor younger cultivators. (End of Chapter)
