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

Chapter 173 Comparable to a Third-Order Universe Lord
While Yu Duan was in seclusion, he was also invading the body of the Lord of Yanhan Palace.

Inside the demon race's virtual network, a meeting at the level of a universe lord was also being held.

Inside the magnificent palace, towering beings of various shapes and sizes sat atop their respective thrones.

Deep within this palace, the two demon ancestors were even larger, their boundless, terrifying, and majestic aura spreading out.

"According to intelligence from the Northern Frontier Alliance, when the Lord of Yanhan Palace was suppressed by that human Yu Duan, he possessed a soul-type supreme treasure!"

Of the two demon ancestors, the towering serpent covered in endless silver scales opened its mouth, and a vortex formed by the distortion of space and time surrounded its body.

These words shocked all the cosmic lords present!

Capturing a top-tier cosmic overlord alive would already be an extraordinary achievement.

Controlling a top-tier cosmic overlord protected by a soul treasure using illusion magic is simply a pipe dream.

In the primordial universe, the number of soul treasures that could disregard ordinary levels was extremely limited.

There are a few more beings who can use their terrifying soul-annihilating power to obliterate ordinary soul treasures, but only a very few fourth-order universe lords.

"Impossible! This news is too fake. Even if that human Yu Duan were to use a supreme treasure of the soul attack type, he couldn't unleash such power!"

Within the demon race, a glint of shrewdness flashed in the eyes of a cosmic lord known for his wisdom, and he made an accurate judgment.

"I also agree with the Coffin Insect's judgment. The Northern Frontier Alliance deliberately released this false information in order to make us unable to restrain ourselves and to fight the human race to avenge them. They've played a very good game!"

"Not necessarily. I think it might be true. Even if the Northern Frontier Alliance wanted to trick us into causing trouble for the human race, they wouldn't come up with such an outrageous reason."

"..."

Several universe lords spoke in succession, subtly forming two factions: one was the Dream Demon Ancestor faction, and the other was naturally the Tremor Demon Ancestor faction.

"enough!"

On the most majestic throne, the colossal beast with an exceptionally ferocious appearance opened its mouth, instantly silencing all the cosmic lords present.

The gazes of numerous universe lords were all respectfully fixed on the Demon Ancestor.

Immediately, Zhen Yaozu spoke up: "Raise the threat level of this human Yu Duan to the highest level. If a suitable opportunity arises, let the alien universe lord of the alliance take action and test his strength."

"If it can truly disregard soul-type treasures, then we must destroy it at all costs!"

"The human race already had a madman back then, and now... we can't have a second one!"

After Zhen Yaozu finished speaking, there was no more controversy among the many universe lords of the demon race.

After the meeting, the spies of the demon race who had infiltrated the human race were put into use one after another in an attempt to gather intelligence on Yu Duan.

To this day, the various ethnic groups still possess very little information about Yu Duan.

……

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Deep within the human race's territory, in the divine realm of Yu Duan.

"Wow!"

The vast sea of ​​blood surged forth, constantly absorbing massive amounts of cosmic energy to sustain its expansion.

However, this vast sea of ​​blood is insignificant compared to Yu Duan's enormous divine kingdom, which has expanded to three light-years (nearly 30 trillion kilometers).

"Boom!"

Suddenly, an endless and vast aura burst forth from the deepest part of the sea of ​​blood.

A terrifying, blood-red wave surged forth, and a towering figure, nearly ten thousand kilometers tall, burst forth into the sky. With a kui head, a human body, and a dragon tail, its terrifying divine power, far surpassing that of any cosmic overlord, swept outwards.

"6800 times the genetic level, with an innate secret technique that is 'indestructible,' no wonder it can withstand the power of a universe master."

After seizing the body of the Lord of Yanhan Palace, Yu Duan finally understood why the Lord of Yanhan Palace could be ranked alongside super beings such as the Lord of Tianshi Palace and the strongest World Tree.

It should be noted that the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master and the strongest World Tree have a much stronger genetic level than this Yanhan Palace Master, but they are still far inferior to the true Lord of the Universe.

After all, in the primordial universe, the fewest number of universe masters are either top-tier fifth-order beings or powerful individuals who have just entered the realm of universe masters.

After the hundredfold genetic limitation is lifted, even a slight increase in the genetic level of a being at the level of a universe master would make them several times stronger than these top overlords!
Therefore, the most important reason why such a heaven-defying cosmic overlord was able to stand up to the cosmic master and persist for so long is that his divine body is extremely large and his innate secret techniques are extremely powerful.

As for the Lord of Yanhan Palace, his genetic level can barely be considered heaven-defying. Although his divine body is tens of thousands of kilometers long, it is not considered large in front of the Lord of the Universe.

The true trump card that allows the Lord of Yanhan Palace to confront the Lord of the Universe head-on is his unique innate secret technique, which is indestructible!

"The innate secret technique is indestructible and can weaken any material attack by a hundredfold. Coupled with a powerful treasure armor and a soul defense treasure, it can indeed hold its own against an ordinary universe lord for a long time."

Boom!

Yu Duan controlled the new body, raised his right hand, and inside the crystal-like scales, there were countless complex and mysterious threads, which were the special patterns formed by the innate secret technique.

"River Spirit, disperse all the energy transformed from the divine power of the Frost Sky Beast."

"Yes, Master!"

The voice of the Holy River Spirit rang out, and immediately a golden river shrouded in chaotic mist surged forth, its unique source divine energy rapidly spreading outwards.

In just a moment, it transformed into endless cosmic energy, permeating the void and even forming countless tiny cosmic crystals that fell into the sea of ​​blood. "Boom!"

A divine power 6800 times that of a Venerable One surged forth from the Undead Demon Banyan clone and poured into the core crystal of the River of Life.

In an instant, a powerful aura at the level of a cosmic lord surged forth from the River of Life, shaking space and time.

“Master, the body you seized is of extremely high quality. The source divine power transformed from it is probably comparable to a divine body with 300 times the genes of the Lord of the Universe.”

Previously, Yu Duan's 700-fold genetic divine power was increased to about four to five times after being transformed by the River of Life.

Now, with divine power at a 6800-fold genetic level, the transformation would naturally allow him to easily rival a cosmic lord at a 300-fold genetic level.

"Innate Secret Technique, Creation!"

With a thought, Yu Duan caused the vast sea of ​​blood to boil, and a giant thousands of kilometers long condensed into existence.

With a body size of over a thousand kilometers and a genetic level 30 times higher, this is the current limit of the clones that Blood Sea clones can create.

This means that once the genetic level is improved after the end of the day, the limits created by the Blood Sea clone will also increase.

"Boom!"

In mid-air, the surging river of life converged instantly with a thought from Yu Duan, flowing towards the energy clone created by the Blood Sea clone and merging with it!

In the blink of an eye, the clone, whose aura was only 30 times that of a Universe Venerable, soared to 300 times that of a Universe Lord, a full thousand times increase.

"Master, why not fuse with the body of the Palace Master of Yanhan?"

The Spirit of the Holy River was somewhat puzzled. The innate secret techniques of the Lord of Yanhan Palace's body were clearly more powerful, and its size was also larger. Its combat power after fusion was definitely stronger than the energy clone created by the Blood Sea clone.

"The power of the Lord of Yanhan Palace's body is only in terms of its heaven-defying defensive capabilities; in the primordial universe, it is far inferior to a true high-level palace treasure."

"Besides, what I need now is for everyone to know that I have broken through to the 'Lord of the Universe' realm!"

"My Blood Sea clone disguises itself as the real human and goes out, relying on its control over time and space and its divine body at the level of a universe master to make everyone firmly believe that I am the universe master."

"My strongest technique is an attack combining the will of the strongest being in the universe with the pinnacle of illusionary treasures."

"No matter which clone it is, after merging with you, it will be at the genetic level of a universe master three hundred times. It's better to give up the larger divine body and defense enhancement and have two universe master-level clones."

Both of their avatars are divine bodies at the level of a first-order universe lord.

The Undead Demon Banyan clone is slightly weaker than the 'Transformation into the Holy River', but with the support of the will of the strongest being in the universe, its illusionary attacks are slightly stronger than those who have just entered the realm of the universe.

The Blood Sea clone, empowered by the Holy River, is roughly at this level.

However, if one has the support of a supreme treasure that can fully unleash its power, then even if one is only at the third tier, it is still considered a mere third tier.

Among the Lords of the Universe, the difference between the third rank and the top third rank is also enormous.

After all, it requires three conditions: ten thousand times the gene power, the ultimate treasure, and the self-created strongest secret technique.

Achieving one rank qualifies you as a Tier 3, but achieving two rank qualifies you as a top-tier Tier 3 player.

As for the difference between a fourth-order universe master and a top-tier fourth-order universe master, it mainly depends on the treasures they possess.

Unlike other levels of secret techniques, there isn't a tenfold or greater difference between the initial and ultimate levels.

For the vast majority of universe masters, the secret techniques they create are divided into three levels: peak, ultimate, and final.

The ultimate secret techniques of the Lord of the Universe have an extremely wide range and are clearly divided into different levels. Barely crossing the threshold of the ultimate secret techniques is not the same as reaching the limit of the ultimate secret techniques.

The ultimate secret technique is the so-called strongest secret technique of the Lord of the Universe.

Therefore, among fourth-order universe masters, the key factor is the compatibility between the ultimate treasure and the strongest secret technique they created.

If they are perfectly matched, they can unleash even greater power, which would be considered top-tier fourth rank.

Although Yu Duan possesses the Eye of the Demon Heart and it is perfectly compatible with him, his foundation is still very poor, so he can only be considered at the bottom of the third tier.

"With my current abilities, I'm qualified to enter the Cosmic Sea!"

With a thought, Yu Duan connected his consciousness to the virtual universe.

Almost simultaneously with the login to the virtual universe, the Lord of Chaos City, as the controller of the virtual universe, received the message.

"The Star Sword Master, who once shook the universe, has finally decided to leave seclusion. Come to Thunder Island. Your teacher, my great entity from the Virtual Universe Company, and I are all waiting for you."

An email was sent directly to Yu Duan.

……

Virtual universe, Thunder Island plane.

Here stands a magnificent temple, inside which is an ancient round table crafted from bluish-gray stone.

Beside the round table are six enormous stone chairs, each engraved with intricate carvings.

At this moment, five figures were already seated on the six stone chairs: the Lord of Chaos City, the Lord of Darkness, the Lord of Dragon Journey, the Lord of Ice Peak, and the Lord of Netherworld.
