Becoming the Lord God from Devouring

“Junior brother, your idea of ​​wielding weapons with both hands and performing a set of sword techniques with each hand was very interesting!” Venerable Dark Star led the way, explaining to Wu Hao as they walked. “This combat strategy is very useful and can be quite practical before reaching the Immortal level, but it’s a wrong path. We absolutely cannot continue down this path!”

"Why?" Wu Hao was very puzzled. Titan's Grip is the ultimate talent of the Fury Warrior tree in World of Warcraft, which allows a person to wield two two-handed weapons, enabling them to multitask and unleash the power of both weapons.

"Of course it's because of the destructive power. In the virtual universe, the bodies are almost exactly the same. It tests the utilization rate of laws and secret techniques. The energy of the body itself is limited, so it cannot unleash powerful skills. But it's different in reality!" Venerable Dark Star shook his head and said, "Wu Hao, you have now reached the Tongtian Bridge Law Comprehension level at the peak of the Marquis level, but is your true combat power the same as that of a Marquis Immortal?"

Wu Hao immediately shook his head. His current basic body was only at the Domain Lord level, which was 1000 times the power of a World Lord at the lowest level of the Marquis level. It was far inferior to that, let alone the nearly 10,000 times the power of a World Lord at the peak of the Marquis level.

Even a casual strike from an ordinary Marquis would be an unbearable burden for him; how could he possibly possess true combat strength comparable to a Marquis?

To achieve the combat power of a Marquis, unless he reaches the ninth level of the Realm Lord and his Ultraman body is amplified by faith to the same level as a Realm Lord by ten thousand times, he can forget about fighting a Marquis while being a Realm Lord.

"Right now, I can barely manage to fight an ordinary immortal without dying, but defeating them is basically impossible!" Wu Hao spoke the truth. He wasn't like Luo Feng, who was already a ninth-level World Lord but used a human clone to pretend to be a ninth-level Domain Lord.

He is currently at the Domain Lord level, and the strongest Ultraman body is at the ninth level of the Domain Lord level. To defeat an Immortal level opponent, he still needs to reach the ninth level of the Realm Lord level.

“Yes, from the Realm Lord to the Immortal level, the basic power has once again undergone a leap. Every attack from the Realm Lord to the Immortal level covers the entire vast universe. Any planet affected by the battle will either be killed or maimed. At this point, it makes no difference whether you use one weapon or two weapons. It’s better to focus your cultivation time on an offensive weapon.” Dark Star Venerable’s words made Wu Hao suddenly realize the truth, but he was not prepared to give up the Titan’s Grip combat technique.

Keep in mind that he will have seven clones in the future, and with each clone able to cultivate independently, he will never lack combat methods.

At that time, the main body will hold a weapon in each hand and use different combat techniques of several clones, so there is no need to worry about the allocation of training time.

Seeing that Wu Hao had taken his words to heart, Venerable Dark Star teleported Wu Hao to another location, and soon they arrived at a tall palace.

"This is the teacher's residence in the virtual universe. He usually fights and adventures in the cosmic sea and doesn't usually log into the virtual universe network. This time, your matter has alarmed the teacher. It seems that the teacher will accept you as a formal disciple!" After saying this, Venerable Dark Star led Wu Hao into the hall.

Wu Hao looked up at the enormous palace, which was bright white, quite inconsistent with his teacher's title of Lord of Darkness.

Although Anxing and Wu Hao were walking, their speed exceeded 50,000 meters per second, yet it still took them more than a minute to walk through the palace before they finally arrived at the main gate.

"Greetings, Master!" Before Wu Hao could make a move, he was forced to kneel on the ground by Dark Star Venerable. He quickly bowed and knelt down, saying, "Greetings, Master!"

"Get up," a majestic voice echoed from within the palace. Wu Hao felt a blur before his eyes, and he and Dark Star Venerable were inside the palace.

Looking up, I saw that there was not only one person sitting on the platform, but also another familiar figure.

"Lord of Chaos City!" Venerable Dark Star bowed again, and Wu Hao followed suit.

"My two junior disciples, please get up!" Chaos raised his hand and helped Dark Star Venerable and Wu Hao up.

After the ceremony was completed, Wu Hao finally dared to look up.

A sinister dark aura spread from above, and from the endless air currents, a bald man dressed in a simple black coat, with a strange armor combining silver and black underneath, appeared before them.

The bald man's skin was as white as jade, as soft as holy light, while his head had extremely strange and complex black patterns, which brought endless coldness to this holy body.

It was as if a venomous snake, its tongue flicking, was coiled around the skin of a deity.

Even the entire spacetime was affected by it, falling into a very strange atmosphere.

"Have you finished reading?" The voice of the Lord of Darkness rang out from above, and Wu Hao felt as if he had just woken up from a dream.

If an ordinary person saw the true form of the Lord of Darkness, they would only feel the darkness and eeriness, making them tremble. But what Wu Hao saw was another possibility within the light, representing a higher level of light life.

"This disciple has offended you, please punish me, Master!" Wu Hao immediately bowed his head and kowtowed again, not daring to look up.

"Get up, you have not offended me!" The voice of the Lord of Darkness rang out, then he looked at Wu Hao and said, "This is not your true form, is it? Show me your true form!"

"What?" Upon hearing the words of the Lord of Darkness, Venerable Dark Star was instantly shocked. He had never imagined that his junior brother, whom he had watched grow up for more than two hundred years, had never used his true form.

“Alright!” Wu Hao immediately stopped talking nonsense. Ultraman was also evolved from humans, and his soul essence had not changed. There was no need to hide anything in front of such an existence.

Suddenly, a necklace appeared in his hand; it was his transformation device.

When Wu Hao put on the transformation device, he was instantly enveloped in light, and his body began to grow taller until he became a giant nearly 2000 meters tall.

Over a hundred years, his height has increased significantly, and if he wanted, he could eventually reach a height of 100,000 meters.

However, that abnormal body shape consumes too much energy, and becoming like that doesn't really increase one's strength much, except for intimidation.

"Light-energy life, such a peculiar evolution of humanity!" the Chaos City Lord immediately commented.

"Indeed, it is a very peculiar form of life. No wonder an apprentice-level being can be recognized by the fundamental laws of the universe," the Lord of Darkness commented.

'What? Apprentice level being recognized by the fundamental laws? Is this really something a living being can do?' Dark Star Venerable felt his brain being strengthened. In his more than sixty epochs of life, none of the shocking things he had encountered were as numerous as those of today.

Wu Hao wasn't surprised at all that the two cosmic rulers knew about his affairs. The Earth's countless past years had been explored by the creator of the giant axe, the strongest being in the universe. Aside from not finding any information about the main god, Wu Hao didn't believe he hadn't witnessed Wu Hao transforming into Ultraman.

The commotion that was acknowledged by the fundamental laws of the universe was quite significant at the time, so it was not surprising that it was reported to the Lord of Chaos City, the de facto decision-maker of humanity, after he saw it.

Seeing that Wu Hao didn't feel embarrassed about his secret being exposed, the Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Chaos exchanged a glance, their initial teasing and spectator mentality completely shattered.

"When you participated in the internal selection battle, I noticed your abnormality. You were only at the Stellar level, yet you had already gained the recognition of the Origin Law. Based on your understanding of the law, I immediately notified the Darkness to keep an eye on you!" The Chaos City Lord's voice filled the entire palace, with an indescribable sour tone. "Later, when Giant Axe went to your hometown, he came back and told me about your situation. Only then did I realize that when you were recognized by the law, you were only at the Apprentice level. Only then did I realize how extraordinary your bloodline is."

The Lord of Darkness smiled and said, "Your bloodline is indeed very powerful. Even though I have seen countless races, I have never seen many that can be recognized by the fundamental laws at the apprentice level. Generally, such creatures are special life forms, and special life forms are never at the apprentice level from birth."

Wu Hao nodded immediately, then looked down at his master and senior uncle as if looking down on them, and immediately felt that it was a bit impolite.

But there are no such rules in the universe. It was only when Wu Hao stood high in the sky that he truly saw the difference between the two.

The Lord of Chaos City is about three meters tall, and his location is peaceful, open, and tranquil. The Lord of Darkness is over two meters tall, and his area is endless darkness and evil, ghostly and terrifying.

These are two completely opposing auras, and their strength is just as even as in the original work.

"Hahaha, Chaos, are you regretting it now? This time I'm going to beat you to it again and train another powerful disciple!" The voice of the Lord of Darkness was not as eerie as his true aura; instead, it had a slightly comical quality.

But Wu Hao dared not join their conversation for the time being. He could only raise his head and avoid looking at the two cosmic lords who were laughing and talking.

"Change back!"

Upon hearing the voice of the Lord of Darkness, Wu Hao instantly deactivated his transformation and returned to his normal appearance.

When he looked up again, he could no longer see the shadow of Chaos, but only his master, the Lord of Darkness, looking down at him from above.

"Wu Hao, from now on, I will accept you as my formal disciple. You are my twenty-fifth true disciple. From now on, you will enjoy the same level of treatment as Dark Star."

Wu Hao was overjoyed and immediately knelt before the Lord of Darkness, saying, "Disciple greets Master!!"

"Hahaha, easy!" The Lord of Darkness tossed a book to Wu Hao before speaking, "Since you regard me as your master, then as your master, I should provide you with the best treatment. You are about to break through to become a Realm Lord, and next you will begin to create your own secret techniques. This book contains all the secret techniques I collected while teaching my disciples, with a total value of around 1000 billion points. Now it is yours."

Upon hearing this, Wu Hao was overjoyed once again. In the original story, when the True Yan King was teaching Luo Feng, he gave him a secret technique worth 80 billion points. Now, the Dark Lord's attack was more than a hundred times that of the True Yan King.

Next, Wu Hao secluded himself in Chaos City to cultivate, no longer needing to worry about not having any secret techniques to study.

Moreover, these secret techniques may not only be suitable for Wu Hao's main body, but many of them may be even more suitable for his clones.

It's important to know that the Lord of Darkness is not just a simple martial artist; illusionary abilities are also a crucial part of his strength. Wu Hao allowed his Zerg Queen clone to conduct some research, and it was enough to crush other alien races at the same level, even at the Immortal stage.

He immediately bowed again in gratitude, saying, "Thank you so much, Master, for bestowing upon me the Dharma. I am deeply grateful!"

"Get up!" The Lord of Darkness seemed quite pleased with Wu Hao's respect. He spoke slowly, "I have a total of 25 true disciples under my command. Seven of them have perished, and the remaining one is Lord Youhou. The 17 under him are all Universe Venerables. Dark Star, whom you are most familiar with, is ranked twenty-fourth. You two are the two youngest disciples I have taken in."

"Wu Hao, here's a list of your senior brothers!" The Lord of Darkness tossed over a handbook instantly. "These are all your senior brothers. If you encounter any difficulties, you can seek them out. Our Dark lineage within the Virtual Universe Company is the most united. In the future, whatever help you receive, you must treat your other senior and junior brothers even better!"

"Yes, disciple will remember!" Wu Hao bowed respectfully again.

"From now on, you can directly travel to my palace on Thunder Island via teleportation," said the Lord of Darkness. "If you have any questions about cultivation, you can come directly to me. When I am not here, you can ask any of my senior brothers, and they can all answer your questions."

"Yes, disciple received!" Wu Hao had lost count of how many times he had replied so respectfully.

Seeing that there weren't many parking spaces left to deal with, the Lord of Darkness looked at Venerable Dark Star, who immediately understood and prepared to lead Wu Hao away.

However, the Lord of Darkness stopped Dark Star, saying, "You can leave now, but Wu Hao needs to stay!"

"Yes, Master!" Dark Star immediately bowed respectfully and then teleported away.

After Dark Star Venerable left, the Lord of Darkness suddenly looked at Wu Hao and said, "It seems that your true form's light source contains some power of conviction?"

Wu Hao was immediately shocked, never expecting that the Lord of Darkness could see through these things.

"Yes, Master. My true form can absorb the power of belief to become stronger. The stronger a person's heart is, the more they trust me, and the stronger I become!" Wu Hao said truthfully.

"Could this be the power of faith?" The Lord of Darkness immediately exclaimed about this cultivation method. "In some small universes of the Cosmic Sea, some races that call themselves gods have used these powers. It's just a pity that faith would affect the immortal divine bodies here, and it would do more harm than good to immortals. Therefore, we have not promoted it."

Wu Hao knew that Swallowed Star was not just an ordinary world, but a group of universes with a complete framework, so it was not surprising that some universes had cultivation methods based on the power of faith.

"However, your belief is quite interesting. As long as someone trusts you, your strength can be enhanced? This seems similar to the power of faith, but there are also fundamental differences!"
