Swallow the starry sky, grind to become the strongest in the universe

Chapter 153 All Races Focus on the Public Bestowal of Treasures
Yu Duan entered a state of seclusion to prepare for his ascension to immortality.

The news that Star Sword King had opened the Ninth Treasure spread throughout the major powers of the Primal Universe in just a few days.

Especially within the Ancestral God Cult, almost everyone was talking about this news.

"A treasure ranked in the top ten can actually be opened? If I remember correctly, such treasures were almost impossible to open when they were first set up!"

"When the ancient realm lords of my Northern Frontier Alliance opened the 104th treasure, the requirements were that they must be realm lords who had mastered the third level of the Beast God's Dao and had their genetic level more than 500 times higher!"

The third level of the Path of the Beast God, the state of perfect comprehension, is equivalent to the achievement of 'only one step away from comprehending the complete superior law'.

Its difficulty is much higher than that of conquering the Tongtian Mountain, which is at the level of a World Lord.

The "Lord-level" Tongtian Mountain is equivalent to the ordinary level of the 20th floor of the Tongtian Bridge.

The perfection of the Path of the Beast God is the peak level of the 20th floor of the Bridge to Heaven. The difference between entering the 20th floor and the peak of the 20th floor is greater than that between the 19th floor and the 20th floor.

In addition, the cultivation of the Path of the Beast God is inherently much more difficult than comprehending a single superior law.

Throughout history, there have been very few geniuses who have been able to reach this level of mastery of the laws of the realm lord.

This is only the difficulty of unlocking the very last of the 108 treasures, which is not even in the same league as the top ten.

"It's the human race again. The human race truly produces one genius after another."

"Yes, in previous eras there was a Fiery Erosion who became a cosmic sovereign in just a few dozen eras, and now there is a Star Sword King with even more astonishing potential, who has even grown to the level of an invincible king!"

At the very center of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake lies the majestic Ancestral God Palace.

"Hmm? Someone actually managed to unlock such a treasure?"

Deep within the palace, on the throne, an aged-looking figure was startled.

This figure was none other than the ancient Ancestral God, one of the three Ancestral Gods of the Ancestral God Sect, and also the oldest one.

"The Ninth Treasure, a World Lord, capable of creating ultimate secret techniques, possessing the will of a Universe Venerable, is remarkable."

The three Ancestral Gods of the Ancestral God Cult, who control the Five-Colored Aurora Lake and the World of Glory, naturally know the conditions for unlocking all the treasures.

The ninth treasure actually has a hidden condition for opening: one must be a successor of the path of the Beast of Light.

The 108 most precious treasures, each with extremely demanding conditions for unlocking.

The Land of Treasures has existed for countless years, and of the 108 great treasures, only 40 have been opened this time, including the ninth treasure.

On average, it takes hundreds of billions of epochs to produce a single genius capable of unlocking the 108 great treasures.

Moreover, the treasures that are usually opened are those ranked lower on the list. The higher the treasure is, the harder it is to open, and the conditions for opening them vary widely.

For example, the first treasure buried by the ancestral god has only one condition for opening: the favor of the primordial will of the universe.

"Since you have joined the outer organization of my Ancestral God Cult, you are qualified to receive treasures publicly. It's a pity that you are also of human origin."

With a thought, the ancient ancestor god contacted the God of Light, one of the eight beast gods, through the world of glory.

That treasure was buried by the first generation of the God of Light, and it is most appropriate for it to be bestowed upon the powerful who later inherited the position of the God of Light.

……

When the ancestral god decided to bestow treasures upon Duan, the insectoid race, the demon race, and the machine race, which were hostile to the human race, all had their own reactions.

The demon race reacted the fastest.

Because the demon race had already begun preparing the assassination plan when Yu Duan enslaved the Poison King.

In the core territory of the demon race, countless stars revolve around a magnificent palace.

The palace was surrounded by endless divine fire, each flame exceptionally bright and displaying dazzling colors, like stars.

"Kill him! The human Star Sword King must be killed! We can't wait any longer!"

A deafening roar, like stars shattering, echoed within the magnificent palace.

Inside the palace, a majestic celestial wolf, its body wreathed in flames and as black as ink, lay upon its throne.

Before the throne, figures of various shapes and sizes respectfully prostrated themselves before the majestic Sirius.

The terrifying killing intent rippled outwards, chilling the souls of these crawling figures and causing them to tremble involuntarily.

"This Star Sword King is already so extraordinary at the Immortal level. If he breaks through to the Immortal realm, he could become a cosmic overlord in just a few epochs. At that time, killing him will not be so easy!"

"Pass on my order: have Venerable Demon Pool of the Ancestral God Sect take action and kill that Star Sword King!"

"All losses will be borne by my demon race, including the ninth treasure that Star Sword King opened this time, which will also be considered his spoils of war!"

The Demon Pool Venerable mentioned by the Lord of Sirius is the strongest being of the Blood Pool Clan, a top-tier cosmic overlord.

The Blood Pool Clan is ostensibly a member of the Northern Frontier Alliance, but in reality, they are their demon race's moles planted within the alliance.

The Northern Frontier Alliance has too much influence, the largest number of ethnic groups, and the number of Universe Lords and Universe Venerables far exceeds that of alliances dominated by top ethnic groups such as humans and demons.

If it weren't for the fact that the Northern Frontier Alliance has a very loose structure, it would be the strongest force in the original universe, second only to the Ancestral God Cult.

None of the six dominant clans wanted the Northern Frontier Alliance to be too harmonious, so they all planted spies to stir up trouble within the alliance.

For some dirty and tiring tasks that are inconvenient for these top-tier clan experts to handle, these undercover agents are naturally needed to step in.

After all, assassinating a member of the Ancestral God Sect from within the sect is a serious provocation against the sect, and even the demon race would not be willing to do such a thing.

……

At this time, Yu Duan, the person involved, was unaware that the demon race had already prepared an assassination plan.

Whether he knew or not was irrelevant; Yu Duan was almost always prepared to be assassinated. Before going into seclusion, Yu Duan moved his residence next to that of the Iron Wall Venerable.

As the personal disciple of the founder of the giant axe, the Iron Wall Venerable is extremely powerful among the universe's overlords, no less so than his second senior brother, the Nether Demon Venerable.

Within the entire Hongmeng group of the Ancestral God Sect, the Iron Wall Venerable is second only to the Four Divine Generals.

"Master, there is an email from the Glory World. The God of Light Beasts is about to descend and publicly bestow treasures upon you!"

When Yu Duan is in seclusion, he naturally won't check any emails.

These tasks are handled by the auxiliary intelligence, Nature, and unless there is a very significant event, Nature will not disturb Yu Duan.

"Publicly bestowing treasures?"

Yu Duan immediately connected a wisp of consciousness to the virtual universe and checked his emails.

"Star Sword King, you are the most outstanding among the hundreds of millions of inheritors of the Ancestral God Sect, and you are also an outer member of our Ancestral God Sect. Your potential is something our Ancestral God Sect values..."

"In the near future, the Light Beast God among the Eight Beast Gods of my Ancestral God Sect will personally appear on Purple Thorn Island to bestow treasures upon you."

"Therefore, please do not leave Zijing Island in the near future, so as not to affect the public bestowal of treasures."

The island lord of Zijing Island is the guardian beast god.

The Guardian Beast God is actually the Lord of the Universe who has comprehended the Way of the Beast God and joined the Ancestral God Sect; he is not one of the Eight Beast Gods.

The Eight Directions Beast Gods are beings who inherited the venerable positions of the Ancestral God Sect. Each of them is a fifth-order strongest universe lord, and only a very few Guardian Beast Gods and Guardian God Lords can compare to them.

"I wonder what level of treasure this ancestral god bestowed upon me."

"It must be a treasure of supreme value, right?"

Yu Duan was still very happy to have one more treasure.

He was about to break through to the realm of immortal gods, at which point the Undead Demon Banyan would be able to invade the gene level of cosmic venerables who were no more than 700 times stronger.

A Cosmic Venerable with 700 times the genetic potential, unless newly promoted, is almost always a cosmic overlord.

Even if Yu Duan breaks through, it will be difficult for him to control a powerhouse of this level with his soul.

However, if you can obtain a supreme treasure, you can directly purchase the sleeping Cosmic Venerable within your clan using treasure points.

Previously, Yu Duan had seen in the clan's treasure vault that six cosmic venerables who had fallen into permanent slumber were available for purchase.

Among them, five were junior Venerables, one was intermediate Venerable, and the premium was very high.

Even a sleeping novice Venerable requires thousands of treasure points, while a mid-level Venerable requires only one supreme treasure point.

Only a high-ranking Venerable could afford to produce thousands of precious treasures.

A servant of a low-level Venerable in the universe, aside from being good at showing off, is far less helpful to a high-level Venerable than exchanging for a domain-type or palace-type treasure.

"At that time, we'll first seize the mid-level Venerable who has a genetic level 10 times higher."

"Then, when the opportunity arises, I will use my soul to control a higher-level cosmic being and try to replace their body with one that has a higher genetic level."

The attack power of the Undead Demon Banyan's Mind Control talent arcane technique is different from its self-created ultimate arcane technique.

The ultimate secret technique created by the immortal is definitely not as strong as the ultimate secret technique created by the cosmic lord, even if their divine bodies are similar. The difference lies in the foundation of the laws.

The power of a natural secret technique depends not only on its foundation in laws, but also on its foundation in divine power.

In the original work, King Zhenyan once said that special life forms like King Feijing, if they do not have powerful soul attack talents and secret techniques, even if their divine body foundation is comparable to that of a Venerable, it is difficult to bridge the gap in their understanding of the laws.

……

Time passes day by day.

The public announcement of the treasure bestowal was just a minor incident and did not affect Yu Duan's mindset, as he continued to immerse himself in comprehending the mysteries of the fundamental laws.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.

On this day, a vast and domineering pressure emanated from the sky above Zijing Island.

Then all the inheritors saw an endlessly brilliant sun appear in the sky above Zijing Island.

Even the most brilliant star among the countless stars in the primordial universe was billions of times dimmer than this sun, and its radiance completely obscured the colorful aurora lake.

Only a few extremely powerful overlord-level inheritors could vaguely see an endless, majestic figure through the dazzling light.

"I am the Beast God of Light..."

A mighty voice resounded out, and as the divine sun gradually dimmed, everyone saw a majestic figure with a dragon's head, twelve arms, and two wings standing in the center of Zijing Island.

"The successor, Star Sword King!"

The God of Light spoke again, and at the same time, a gentle force swept out, enveloping Yu Duan's figure, and then slowly rising into the air.

At this moment, the eyes of hundreds of millions of inheritors on Zijing Island converged on this point. At this stage, almost everyone guessed the reason for the descent of the God of Light.

"Greetings, Beast God of Light!"

Yu Duan bowed solemnly, following the unique etiquette of peripheral members of the Ancestral God Sect.

A smile appeared on the face of the God of Light, and he nodded slightly: "Star Sword, your will and your talent are very satisfactory to me!"

"I have a treasure that I wish to bestow upon you as an encouragement, hoping that you will soon become a supreme being of the universe!"
