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

Chapter 165 The debate between the Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Chaos City, preparing to break through to the Venerable realm.

"I propose that since we've already achieved enough this time, let's schedule our next operation for an era later. What do you think?"

The Demon Lord looked at Yu Duan, Long Yi, and the Barbarian God.

Both the Dragon Wing Venerable and the Barbarian God Venerable nodded repeatedly.

His net worth suddenly surged to 200 Treasure Points, more than some Universe Lords from minor races.

After exchanging for the treasure, it will take some time to comprehend the treasure's runes before it can be used in its initial stages.

Starting with the top-tier treasures, the runes within them are extremely complex, and unless one is a master of the universe, it is almost impossible to unleash their full power.

"One era later?"

Yu Duan's eyes flickered slightly. In about two thousand years, he should be able to break through to the Universe Venerable level.

At that time, the huge gap in understanding the laws will be greatly shortened, and there will still be hope of hunting down the bodies of Venerables with a thousand times the genetic level.

As for top-tier cosmic overlords thousands of times stronger, that's basically unthinkable.

First- and second-tier universe masters are no match for top-tier universe overlords; even if they can defeat them, they cannot kill them.

Moreover, to seize them, one would need to enslave their souls.
Only a cosmic overlord like the Lord of Darkness could be confident in enslaving a top-tier cosmic overlord who possesses a supreme treasure for soul defense.

"Natural, help me screen a list of powerful individuals with large body size, a thousand times the genetic level, and approaching the level of top cosmic overlords."

"Yes, Master!"

Such a cosmic overlord is still a rare sight.

However, there are human races as well, such as the Undying Venerables.

Its clones are about a thousand times larger, and its divine body is extremely large, giving it a high degree of self-preservation ability.

The number of Universe Venerables in the Northern Frontier Alliance is a hundred times that of the human race, and there are quite a few top overlords among them.

Naturally, a shortlist was quickly prepared for Yu Duan.

……

"Boom!"

The Treasure Hall reopened, and this time Yu Duan came to exchange for treasures.

"Let's start with a top-tier treasure weapon!"

A moment later, Yu Duan selected a top-tier treasure weapon that best suited him.

"The Annihilation Star Sword is suitable for the fusion of time and the fundamental laws. Once you comprehend the fourth level of the fusion law, you can begin to understand the secret runes of the supreme treasure and unleash the power of a high-level supreme treasure weapon. It's very good."

Even a cosmic overlord would find it nearly impossible to unleash the full potential of a typical high-level treasure weapon.

Only top-tier cosmic overlords, relying on their life gene level and burning divine power, can forcefully unleash their full power.

If one's genetic level is average, then one can only honestly study the secret runes of the supreme treasure, and only when one becomes the master of the universe will one be able to unleash its full power.

"This effect is worth the price of 107 Treasure Points; it is definitely the most exquisite top-tier treasure."

Yu Duan bought the Annihilation Star Sword without hesitation.

"A top-tier treasure armor doesn't need to be of the highest quality; a regular top-tier one is sufficient!"

Yu Duan ultimately chose a top-tier armor worth 120 Treasure Points, called the Triple Star Moon Armor.

The Triple Star Moon Armor, as the name suggests, has three forms. To activate all three forms, one needs an extremely high level of mastery of the laws (except for the Calamity Armor in the original work).

Even in its first form, Yu Duan can weaken the attacks of top-tier cosmic overlords and first-order cosmic masters by a thousand times simply by wearing it.

An attack from a second-order universe master is weakened by a hundredfold, while an attack from a third-order universe master is only weakened by a tenfold.

This is only the effect of the first form. The strongest third form can weaken the attack of a third-order universe master by a thousand times, a fourth-order master by a hundred times, and a fifth-order master by ten times.

This is also a major reason why the higher one's skill level, the more difficult it is to kill a target in a battle at the same level.

Weakening it a thousandfold is equivalent to directly offsetting the amplification of burning divine power. In a battle at the same level, it would be difficult to even damage the opponent's divine body essence.

If a third-tier universe master possesses this treasure, they will be virtually invincible against opponents of the same level.

"This only cost 227 Treasure Points, and I still have over 400 Treasure Points left."

"I have the Palace of Light by my side. In terms of defense, it is the best among ordinary palace-type treasures, which is enough for me."

"A high-grade soul defense treasure, please."

"Let's get a high-level one for the domain-type treasures."

Even the most basic high-level soul defense treasure costs over two hundred treasure points.

Yu Duan ultimately chose a Sky Tower, worth 243 Treasure Points.

As for high-level treasures, the cheapest one costs 180 treasure points, and it doesn't align with the player's understanding of the laws.

Finally, Yu Duan selected a 'Nebula Realm', worth 194 Treasure Points. This is the cheapest high-level treasure suitable for powerful individuals who have comprehended the laws of light and time.

In less than a minute, the initial 671 Treasure Points were reduced to only 7.

"I'm still too poor. If I could get 8000 Treasure Points, I could exchange for that top-tier Soul Illusion Treasure. Below the Lord of the Universe, I could kill anyone who comes near me!"

Having accumulated over a thousand Treasure Points, Yu Duan is comparable to a Universe Lord, thus receiving another upgrade in his privileges. He now has access to the most precious treasures in the clan's treasury—peak-level soul-type treasures. Within the clan's treasury lies the Eye of the Demonic Heart, a genuine peak-level soul illusion treasure.

"The clan is quite wealthy, possessing many supreme treasures, including several soul and domain-related items."

Yu Duan gained a clear understanding of the wealth of the human race. Apart from the most powerful and precious treasures, there was no treasure that the human race could not provide.

"Before reaching the level of the Lord of the Universe, there is no need to consider what treasures to exchange for."

"My most urgent task now is to fully comprehend the fundamental laws of time and break through to the level of a cosmic venerable."

"Then I will study the secret runes within the Annihilation Star Sword and unleash its full power!"

After leaving the treasure hall, Yu Duan headed straight for the cosmic passage, preparing to return to the Ancestral Mystic Realm to continue comprehending the Path of the Beast God.

And in the deepest part of the City Lord's Mansion, within the majestic Chaos Ruins.

Two figures stood side by side, walking on this ancient battlefield as if taking a stroll.

"Junior brother, your little disciple's luck is quite amazing. He actually found the treasure vault of the Chi God Clan."

The Lord of Chaos smiled as he looked at the avatar of the Lord of Darkness beside him.

A smug smile appeared on the pale face of the Lord of Darkness: "My little disciple has indeed had amazing luck. Apart from the treasures on the body of the Lord of Chi God, more than 90% of the wealth of the Chi God Clan has fallen into his hands."

"Senior brother, the reason I asked you to come here is also for the sake of my junior disciple."

The Lord of Darkness's expression turned slightly serious: "I intend to enslave and control a top-tier overlord with a genetic level thousands of times greater, to prepare a body for my little disciple."

"Junior brother... this isn't something I can decide on my own; it must be discussed at the Giant Axe Conference!"

The Lord of Chaos City also looked at the Lord of Darkness with great solemnity: "Your hidden identity is too important to the clan; you cannot act recklessly!"

"If a life enslaved by you, junior brother, appears among my human race... then your identity will almost certainly be exposed!"

The top cosmic overlords, whose genetic level is thousands of times greater, all belong to various top-tier forces.

Even if you don't come from a top-tier power, you can still choose to join one.

No top power would refuse a special life form with a genetic level thousands of times greater, let alone a cosmic lord-level combatant capable of resurrection.

Such beings almost certainly possess a soul treasure.

Among the cosmic overlords, only a very few possess the ultimate treasure of the soul (as set in the original work).

And among the top cosmic overlords, almost everyone has one.

Even the most ordinary soul-type treasures, while unable to withstand the soul annihilation of a top-tier universe lord, still have time to self-destruct.

In the entire primordial universe, there are only a handful of beings who possess supreme treasures that can disregard ordinary souls and enslave top overlords. Each and every one of them is a top-tier fifth-order universe lord, and also a soul master.

How many fifth-tier top-level universe masters are there in the entire primordial universe?
If we add the limitation of Soul Master, there are only four beings of this level in the entire primordial universe, two of whom belong to the Zerg.

Of the other two, one belongs to the Ancestral God Cult and is of special birth, born a master of the soul.

The other one is the solitary figure in the eyes of outsiders, the Dark Lord (Lord of Darkness), who has a great reputation in the Cosmic Sea.

But once the Lord of Darkness does this, his identity, which has been hidden for countless epochs, will almost certainly be exposed.

The cost would be too high. The original ancestor made the Lord of Darkness hide so that he could play an important role in times of crisis for the race.

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Darkness remained silent for a moment before saying, "Senior brother, you are right. Our teacher's instruction to protect the human race's heritage is the most important thing."

The Chaos City Lord's serious expression softened, and he said, "If there is an opportunity, we can try to enslave some cosmic overlords with two or three thousand times the genetic level."

“That child Yu Duan once cultivated the Primordial Spirit to its extreme, amplifying the power of illusion magic tenfold, and his willpower was comparable to that of the Lord of the Universe.”

"With two or three thousand times the genetic foundation of life, one would be considered the most powerful cosmic overlord."

The Lord of Darkness pondered for a moment, then looked at the Lord of Chaos City and said, "After my little disciple becomes a Universe Venerable, I will lend him that supreme treasure of peak illusion magic, or I will buy it and give it to him. What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Chaos City frowned.

A supreme treasure of the peak soul type is naturally extremely precious. It would be good if it were not lost, as it would provide an additional combat power at the level of a universe lord.

But who can guarantee that? The risk is too great if it falls and is lost.

"I will not comment on this matter, after all, that treasure was contributed by you, Junior Brother. If you insist, we can convene the Giant Axe Conference to discuss it!"

……

As one of the parties involved in the discussion between the two cosmic lords, Yu Duan had already returned to the ancestral mystical realm.

"That's... Venerable Star Sword? Didn't he go to the territory of the Chi God Clan?"

A member of the Hongmeng who was granted the title of King saw Yu Duan return to the Ancestral Mystic Realm.

Today, the inheritors on Zijing Island are almost all immortal beings, with only a very few venerable beings who are in seclusion year-round.

Even those who weren't members of the Northern Frontier Alliance or the six top clans went to join in the fun.

"Are you out of your mind? You dare to talk about Venerable Star Sword?"

After returning to his courtyard, Yu Duan calmed down and began to study the fundamental laws of time and the secret runes in the Annihilation Star Sword.

The original body in Chaos City is frantically honing its will in order to fill the progress bar as soon as possible.
