Swallowing the Stars: Rebirth of the Star Illusion King

Chapter 98, Return to Human Territory

Xinghuan chuckled to himself. Well, even the strongest top-tier cosmic overlord, the seventh level of cosmic overlord, was at a disadvantage against a second-tier cosmic lord.

The Lord of the Skywing laughed and said, "If one has the eighth level of a cosmic overlord, one could probably rival a true second-tier cosmic lord."

"For example, a life gene level ten thousand times higher + a top-tier supreme weapon + the ultimate secret technique of the Lord of the Universe or a talent secret technique of the same level?"

Xinghuan smiled and thought to himself, "You'll see in the future that there really are people who can rival a second-order universe master."

Unfortunately, limited by his level of life genes, he could not comprehend the ultimate secret technique of the universe master and could not reach the level of a second-order universe master.

Xinghuan asked, "How big is the difference between a first-order Universe Lord and a second-order Universe Lord?"

The Lord of the Skywing laughed, "Very, very, very large. Newly promoted Universe Lords are all called First-Order Universe Lords, but in reality, the differences between First-Order Universe Lords are enormous. After all, they all rose from Universe Venerables. Can you say the difference between Universe Venerables is huge or not!"

Xinghuan smiled and said, "Yes, the gap is indeed large."

The Lord of the Wings said, "The first-order universe lords we are talking about are actually ordinary universe overlords who have advanced from a level 100 times the life gene level. These first-order universe lords usually only have one or two ordinary treasures."

"The second-order universe master actually refers to a universe master at the level of 1000 times the life gene level. He created the ultimate secret technique of the universe master, which is quite a treasure."

(To correct this, for example, the Lord of Sinking Fire uses a top-tier treasure hammer and a top-tier treasure armor, and also collects one high-level treasure and more than a dozen ordinary treasures.)

"On average, the difference in strength between a first-tier universe master and a second-tier universe master is more than a hundred times."

"In reality, the gap between first-order universe masters is also extremely large. Although the probability is very low, it is not impossible for a universe venerable with 1x life gene level to advance to universe master. It is even possible that he is just strong in comprehending the laws, but has not created any good secret techniques or equipment."

"Therefore, within a first-order Universe Lord, there are often several levels. The weakest, at the level of 1x life gene, is comparable to a Universe Overlord, though this is rare. Above that, there are Universe Lords at the level of 10x life gene, Universe Lords at the level of 100x life gene, Universe Lords with ordinary treasures, and Universe Lords who have created the pinnacle secret techniques of Universe Lords —"

The Lord of the Skywing shook his head: "But it's almost impossible for a first-order Universe Lord to appear. They tend to improve themselves rapidly, so the weakest Universe Lord to appear in the universe is at least a second-order Universe Lord. These are the Universe Lords of some relatively weak but powerful races in the universe. The entire race often only has one Universe Lord."

"But it's already good if a race has a lord of the universe; it's tragic if a race doesn't have a lord of the universe."

Xinghuan assessed his own strength level.

A top-tier cosmic overlord with a life gene level approximately 1000 times higher, possessing advanced treasure weapons and armor, and the pinnacle secret techniques of a cosmic master, he is roughly at the sixth level among cosmic overlords, slightly stronger than Venerable Bo Xue Teng Tian Hua and others.

If it were to fight the demon race, he would be at the seventh level of the universe's ruler, comparable to the Black Sky Lord, the strongest world tree, and the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master.

Of course, this doesn't include the Little Galaxy Avatar. With the [Heavyweight Striker] and [Ring of Death], the Little Galaxy Avatar poses a certain threat even to ordinary universe masters.

As for myself, I can only rely on myself; I'll have enough to eat and wear if I do it myself.

Speaking of which, Venerable Konghou is only at the fifth level, right? Heh, I'll have to give her a good beating.

However, Venerable Konghou said she has a clone, but it is unknown what kind of power the clone possesses.

During his conversation with the Lord of the Skywing, Xinghuan learned a lot, including some gossip about the Lord of the Universe. Oh no, the Lord of the Skywing spent the latter half of the conversation talking about gossip about the Lord of the Universe.

Soon, the Lord of the Skywing carried Xinghuan away from the starry sky of the Primordial Palace and arrived at a deserted place.

Upon entering the deserted area, the Lord of the Skywing left immediately, leaving behind only one sentence.

"You're all right now. Go find that old bastard Chaos yourself. I'm off to work—oh wait, I mean, I'm going to get back to work."

This is a silent and desolate starry sky, with no celestial bodies within hundreds of thousands of light-years around, utterly empty.

Xinghuan surveyed his surroundings, then used the servants' divine kingdom teleportation to reach the human territory.

Celestial Realm.

As soon as Xinghuan landed, Venerable Konghou and the others came to greet her.

The Venerable Konghou rushed forward and said, "Wow, Xinghuan, you actually killed over a hundred Universe Venerables of the Demon Race. That's amazing!"

Xinghe caught the Konghou Venerable and laughed, "It's all good luck, good luck."

Silver Axe Venerable nodded: "Hmm, not bad, Star Illusion Venerable has the style I had back then."

Venerable Yanli asked, "You also killed over a hundred demon race Universe Venerables?"

Silver Axe Venerable shook his head: "No, I haven't killed a single Universe Venerable."

Venerable Yanli laughed and said, "Then what are you talking about?"

Venerable Yanli looked at Xinghuan, gave him a thumbs up, and said, "Hahaha, truly impressive, Venerable Xinghuan, your strength is no less than mine. It seems that I will have to spar with you again in a few days."

Xinghuan laughed and said, "Then you might get tortured by me."

Yan Lizun waved his hand: "Go ahead and torture me, I'm not afraid of being tortured by you!"

The Dream Venerable's tone remained alluring: "Star Illusion Venerable, you must give me more guidance."

Xinghuan laughed and said, "Not at all, this is just an illusion."

Frost Venerable still smiled serenely and said, "Star Illusion Venerable, welcome back."

Venerable Konghou patted Xinghuan on the shoulder and said, "Haha, Xinghuan, you're quite the celebrity among the cosmic venerables of our human race now, your reputation is widespread. Oh, by the way, the Lord of Chaos City seems to be looking for you, and wants you to find him in the virtual universe."

Xinghuan nodded: "I understand, I'll go in a bit."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Xinghuan also entered the virtual universe network.

Thunder Island.

Xinghuan arrived at the palace of the Chaos City Lord.

Xinghuan said, "Greetings, Lord of Chaos City."

When the Lord of Chaos City saw Xing Huan arrive, he smiled and said, "It's good that you're back safely."

"I misjudged this time. I didn't expect the demon race to send over a hundred cosmic venerables to ambush you. Fortunately, you are safe and sound, and you even performed well, killing those hundreds of cosmic venerables in return."

"Whether it's a reward or a consolation, you can go to Chaos City later to receive a high-grade treasure weapon."

The Lord of Chaos tapped his fingers lightly on the table and said, "After this, the demon race probably won't send any more Universe Venerables to deal with you, or at least not Universe Lords."
