Swallowing the Stars: Providing a Loan to Luo Feng Begins

Chapter 199 The Cycle of Life and Death in the Universe! I can pass the level, can I take the test first? (1.3 views per day, please subscribe)
Time passed little by little.

Nearly a decade has passed since Luo Feng arrived on the Origin Continent, including the years of cultivation before registering for the 'Qingyun Sect' assessment.

The origin of the continent has a longer time when day and night are reversed.

Times of Day.

That's equivalent to one year in the primordial universe.

Here, the years are often recorded in "cycles," which is one billion days. Since each day is very long, it is actually equivalent to one billion years.

There is a time flow rate difference of ten thousand times in the original universe, which actually spans a billion epochs.

But here on the Origin Continent, it's just a billion days and nights alternating.

"Life, destruction, world."

Luo Feng has now mastered the 'Origin of the World'. Combined with the 'Source of Life and Destruction' he had previously mastered, the three cannot form a complete Great Dao, so there is no such thing as the 'Source of Life and Destruction'.

but.
However, they can be combined to create powerful moves.

"This move has cost me too much effort. If I hadn't studied it and continued to create Chaos Realm techniques, I probably would have become the Chaos Ruler long ago."

Luo Feng felt the unique and secret techniques he had created using the source of the Great Dao.

Simultaneously.

He felt that the training he had undergone during this period had honed his comprehension to a terrifying level, and the time he had spent studying this move was absolutely worthwhile.

"Luo Feng, how are you feeling?" Chen Qi was also observing through the system space.

Luo Feng responded:
"I feel this is the limit. The Eternal True God, the three sources of the Great Dao, combined with each other."

"If it weren't for the method of combining the sources of those laws as described in the 'Eternal Crystal Sphere'."

"Perhaps I will also be stuck for a long time, and I will most likely not be able to create this move before breaking through to the Chaos Dominator."

"Let me test your power!"

Luo Feng activated his divine power.

Using his newly created secret techniques, he suppressed his divine power to an extremely low level, only reaching the level of a mere 'ordinary Void True God'.

He was afraid of causing too much of a commotion, and also afraid of destroying the formation here.

After all, the cave was meant for the Eternal True God to live in, and even without this new move, his current destructive power was undoubtedly at the level of a Chaos Overlord.

"go."

With a deafening roar, a terrifying, gigantic wheel-like object rolled away into the distance, constantly annihilating and recreating countless 'worlds' within it. Between the destruction and rebirth of those worlds, powerful forces continuously erupted.

Those cycles are absorbing energy, rapidly supplying and strengthening this giant wheel.

"Boom!"

A loud bang occurred as the cave's array collided with it, and only by unleashing its full power could it suppress the shockwave.

The ripples spread outwards.

I noticed the fluctuation.

Both the progenitor and the creator of the giant axe appeared.

They both looked in this direction, fearing something had happened.

"I was just practicing my moves, nothing's wrong," Luo Feng said with a smile, offering an explanation.

The progenitor and the creator of the giant axe were taken aback.

They were puzzled.

Generally speaking, shouldn't one suppress divine power when practicing moves? How come Luo Feng's move feels like it could annihilate an Eternal True God?

In fact.

Unbeknownst to them, Luo Feng had already suppressed his divine power level, and was even using only ordinary Void True God-level divine power.

Luo Feng is an eternal true god with a perfect divine body ten thousand times greater.

His full divine power, when unleashed, is far more terrifying than this.

"This move."

"Is it so scary?"

Luo Feng hadn't anticipated this either. If he had, he wouldn't have used the Void True God level divine power; he would have definitely suppressed it to the True God level.

When using this technique...

The creation and destruction of the 'world' continuously absorbs massive amounts of energy, strengthening it to its limit, making its power terrifying.

"This move is already perfect."

"If I unleash my full power, I could probably kill most Chaos Rulers in one move. Even the stronger Chaos Rulers wouldn't be able to withstand it and would be worn down."

"If we discuss this move in terms of its level of mastery..."

"It's not just the ultimate secret technique of the Chaos Ruler; it has already crossed the threshold of God King. However, my divine body is still far inferior to that of a God King."

Luo Feng was overjoyed.

He never imagined he could create such a terrifying move.

The combination of his insights into the three sources of the Great Dao was still too terrifying for someone at the level of an Eternal True God.

"Having drawn upon the fundamental insights into the Dao of Life, Destruction, and the World, and based on the form of the world's great wheel, let's call this move:"

"The Cycle of Birth and Death of the Universe!"

Qingyun Sect.

The assessment has officially begun.

There is a recruitment drive for cultivation geniuses.

This time, the 'Qingyun God King' really went all out. The entire Qingyun Sect, from him as the sect leader to the elders, are all 'Weapon Refining God Kings'.

The God King Qingyun did indeed want to cultivate some God King Elders who were both powerful and had reliable backgrounds.

"Hey"

"Many of these examinees are exceptionally talented."

"but."

"There is no possibility that anyone can get through the sixth floor of my Qingyun Tower and obtain the Divine King's weapon."

"Not to mention asking me to personally forge weapons."

"Perhaps there will be rumors that I, Qingyun, am reluctant to give the God-King a weapon; the difficulty level is set too high."

The main goal of the Cloud-Piercing God King is to recruit some super strong individuals with potential.

The assessment does not limit the duration of training.

It only restricts those who 'reincarnate and rebuild their cultivation,' with the previous life's realm taking precedence.

Those who are reincarnated to suppress their cultivation level will have their gains taken back and be expelled from the sect if discovered by the God King Qingyun.

There is actually no need to limit the years of cultivation.

By the standards of the Cloud-Supporting God King, if an Eternal True God could pass the seventh level, then he would actually possess considerable combat power among the Chaos Rulers.

This kind of enlightenment comes from honing one's skills at a lower level for so long.

No matter how long the cultivation period is.

He has the potential to become a God-King in the future, so the treasures he gives away will definitely be worthwhile.

He wanted someone without any special background or status, so that he could simply test their character. As long as they were grateful and repay kindness, they could be nurtured into a powerful god-king in the future.

His Qingyun Sect can also grow stronger.

Qingyun Sect.

On a vast open space.

The divine weapon 'Qingyun Tower' stands tall.

Its towering height reaches into the clouds; no matter how you look up at its roof, you can never see the top. Layer upon layer, it seems to have no end.

This 'Qingyun Tower' is extremely valuable.

It is at least much more valuable than the Jinwang Palace of Zuoshanke.

There are two doors at the entrance of Qingyun Tower.

One door is for testing Void Gods, and the other is for testing Eternal Gods. Once inside, there is an independent space containing some powerful 'gatekeeper puppets' crafted by the Cloud-Supporting God King.

A large number of 'Void Gods' and 'Eternal Gods' have come to participate in the assessment.

Most of them were attracted by the high rewards offered by the God King Qingyun.

Because of their large number, the Void Gods underwent a preliminary screening during the registration and assessment process, and the number of them who came to this place was only three times that of the Eternal Gods.

One by one, the examinees passed the tests, but they were all eliminated one by one.

Currently, among the highest-ranking beings, one Eternal True God has passed the fifth level, and two Void True Gods have passed the fifth level.

But they were all defeated instantly on the sixth floor.

"It's finally my turn." A man with a sinister expression stepped into the door of the 'Eternal True God'.

He went up and down each floor.

In an extremely rapid and unstoppable manner.

"Hmm?!" The God King Qingyun's eyes lit up, and he looked over, only to see that the Eternal True God quickly passed through the first, second, and third levels.

There are probably quite a few gatekeepers who can be defeated.

Two layers.

You can join a sect.

The third level consists of formal disciples.

The fourth level consists of core disciples.

The fifth floor also offers the reward of a Chaos Overlord weapon.

The sixth floor offers a divine weapon as a reward.

If all seven levels are cleared, then the God King Qingyun can specially forge a God King weapon for him!
It is also very difficult.

For example, to reach the sixth level of the Eternal True God, one needs to possess powerful techniques that are close to those of a Chaos Ruler, while to reach the level of a normal Chaos Ruler, one needs to reach the seventh level.

"We've passed the fourth level too."

"The fifth level was a little difficult for him, but he still managed to pass it."

"There's a sixth floor!"

The God King Qingyun was very much looking forward to it. There weren't many candidates for the Eternal True God's test, and the man's test-taking scene was also publicly displayed throughout the square.

This new challenger surprisingly did not fail on the sixth floor immediately.

Instead, they engaged in a fierce battle with the gatekeepers.

"Congratulations, God King! Our sect is about to receive a fine disciple!" An elder with a gray beard and a burly appearance loudly congratulated him.

The elders also wore smiles on their faces.

They were all weapon-refining masters, and most of them were not good at fighting.

Luo Feng was also in the back of the line, silently watching him pass the test. The man taking the test this time was indeed a super strong person among the Eternal True Gods.

It is roughly at the level he reached when he broke through to the eternal true god and left the primordial universe.

The Chaos Golden Wings represent the pinnacle of single-target mechanical treasures on the Origin Continent.

This examinee's strength is slightly greater than when he unleashed the full power of the Chaos Golden Wings. The Chaos Golden Wings possess some of the power of a Chaos Ruler, while he has already approached the normal level of a Chaos Ruler.

of course.

Such powerful mechanical artifacts are not allowed to be used during the assessment.

"Luo Feng."

"This man is named 'Chichi Mosquito God,' and he has recently become quite famous in the city."

"He often claims that his goal is to get the Qingyun God King to forge weapons for him on the seventh floor of the Qingyun Tower." The Primordial Ancestor told Luo Feng the intelligence he had previously gathered.

The original ancestor had already completed the assessment, and it was indeed very difficult.

Even the Primordial One, having only recently become a Void God, had only passed the tests of the two gatekeepers in the Void God Trial. He fought fiercely for a long time in the third trial but did not win.

He was only now standing next to Luo Feng because the assessment was over.

Luo Feng was also watching and commented:

"If this 'True God of the Mosquito' doesn't have any hidden strength, then there's no hope for the seventh level; we'll be defeated instantly."

"Yes, but he's already very impressive," the progenitor commented.

The Primordial Ancestor felt that Luo Feng had only recently reached the level of an Eternal True God, and had only been cultivating on the Origin Continent for less than a century. He thought that if he could unleash his full power, he would be lucky to have power close to that of a Chaos Ruler. He probably wasn't much stronger than this 'Rank Mosquito True God'.

It's unknown how many years this True God of Mosquito has cultivated, but for his incredibly talented grand-disciple to have cultivated for over 20 million years in the Primordial Universe and nearly a century in the Origin Continent to catch up in such a long time is already considered 'very impressive'.

The battle is still raging.

but
The final result exceeded the expectations of both Yuan Zu and Luo Feng.

Because this True God of the Mosquito couldn't even pass the sixth level, and was ultimately defeated by the guardian of the sixth level.

"This Mosquito God has lost?"

"I heard that he always said in the city that his goal was to get through the seventh floor, but he couldn't even get through the sixth floor."

Among the waiting group for the assessment, many Eternal True Gods knew the name of Rank Mosquito True God.

As Yuanzu clearly said, he often boasted in the city.

On the high platform, the God-King Qingyun looked at the 'True God Zhiwen' with a smile and called out to everyone, "Your name is 'Zhiwen'?"

“Yes.” Zhiwen Zhenshen felt a little dissatisfied. He felt that the Qingyun Tower assessment was too difficult. He hadn’t even passed the sixth level.

"Not bad. I can see that your strength is only lacking in luck to pass the sixth level. Your level is already very close. Since you are the first to achieve this, I will grant you the reward for the sixth level, allowing you to choose a divine king weapon." The God King Qingyun said with a smile.

“Well, but I have a question.” The Mosquito God nodded.

The Cloud-Supporting God King asked curiously, "Tell me."

"If I don't join the Qingyun Sect, can you give me a divine artifact?" True God Zhiwen raised his head, his expression calm.

The words fell.

On the vast land within the Qingyun Sect, all the powerful figures were dumbfounded. How dare this 'True God Zhiwen' say such a thing?
It was mentioned during the identity screening process before the assessment.

These rewards are for those who have just joined the sect; how could they possibly receive treasures if they haven't joined?

The God King Qingyun was already furious.

He was a dignified second-level God King, how dare this 'True God of the Rank Mosquito' mock him? But today was the day his Qingyun Sect was recruiting disciples, so he suppressed his anger and calmly said:

"No."

"Then forget it. I have no interest in joining the Qingyun Sect. Your Qingyun God King has set such a difficult test for the 'Eternal True God,' but you are unwilling to give him a God King weapon. With this kind of treatment, you probably won't be able to attract any good disciples."

The voice of the True God of Mosquitoes was flat.

But it caused a huge uproar at the venue.

How dare this Mosquito True God, an Eternal True God, question the Cloud-Piercing God King, especially within the Cloud-Piercing Sect?

"Sect Master, let me kill this man!" An elder stood up.

After that, all the elders said the same thing.

The God King Qingyun's face had also turned ashen. He had already decided to kill this 'True God of the Mosquito'. If he didn't know how to respect the strong, then he, the God King Qingyun, was not someone to be trifled with. However, he would not make a move within his own sect.

Recruiting disciples and then killing the examinee in public is certainly not a very respectable thing to do.

The Cloud-Supporting God King said indifferently:

"It's normal for some assessors to question the difficulty of my assessment."

"Then let's continue the assessment."

"From now on, the difficulty will remain the same. The first person to clear the sixth and seventh levels will receive triple the reward. That is, the first person to clear the sixth level can choose three Divine King weapons from my Qingyun Sect's treasury, and the first person to clear the seventh level can have me forge three Divine King weapons for them."

"Maintain the original rules and continue recruiting new candidates!"

Zhiwen Zhenshen withdrew his gaze, completely unconcerned, and went to the side to silently watch the remaining tests.

He is not afraid of the Cloud-Supporting God King.

I stayed here to see the Cloud-Piercing God King make a fool of himself.
Those who can pass this level of difficulty are probably all direct disciples of various sects and powerful god-kings, and they must be at the Void True God or Eternal True God realm.

Even with a divine weapon, no one can leave their own sect and join the Qingyun Sect.

He thought it was simply impossible.

Luo Feng, who was in the group, heard that the God King Qingyun had increased the rewards.

It was a slight stirring in my heart.
For him, the more treasures he has, the stronger he becomes!

Luo Feng glanced at the people in front of him. Only five people could be tested at the same time, meaning there were five teams in his team.

There are still hundreds of eternal true gods ahead of them.
Five teams, meaning there are still thousands of people ahead of him.

Only the first person to pass the sixth and seventh levels will receive triple the reward.
just in case
Has someone beaten us to it?

Thinking of this, he paused for a moment and then called out loudly, "Sect Master, could you let me take the test first? I am confident that I can pass the seventh level!"
