Devouring Star Heart: Illusionary Demon Lord

Looking at his enormous body, which spanned nearly 100,000 kilometers, he used the Ruyi Body Secret Technique to shrink his body back to its original height of 4 meters.

Now is not the time to reveal myself. I will return to Chaos City and cultivate in seclusion for a while before displaying my extraordinary talent. At that time, a cosmic lord will surely take me as a disciple. Then I won't have to worry about anyone trying to possess me. After all, this is a body with perfect genes, and I dare not gamble that any of the higher-ups of the human race will be tempted to let a junior possess me.

At my own spaceship's speed, it would take several months to return to Chaos City. I hope the city lord won't scan me unnecessarily; I don't want my secrets exposed right now.

It should be fine. After all, the city lord can't scan everything all the time. They only take precautions during the Cosmic Genius Battle and the Strongest Battle when a large number of new members enter Chaos City to prevent alien races or soul slaves from infiltrating. Normally, they don't have the energy to act as a scanner. They really don't consider the city lord the ruler of the universe!

The Virtual Universe Company's Lord had three thousand years to cultivate in Chaos City. The original owner had used it all before entering the Outer Domain Battlefield, but added points to extend it by another thousand years, allowing him to pass through the thirteen levels of the Heavenly Bridge before reaching the Outer Domain Battlefield. After fighting on the battlefield for thousands of years and passing through the fourteenth level, he hit a bottleneck and made little progress for two eras.

No problem, I still have some points. Plus, military merits can be exchanged for points. I directly exchanged for a thousand years of cultivation time in Chaos City, clearing out most of my points.

The secret technique I need is too expensive for me. Selling the Divine General Inheritance Crystal to the company—this kind of Divine General Inheritance Crystal, which has a hundred years to go before it can be passed on, will definitely be more expensive than the ordinary one. After all, can something you can use right away be the same price as one that takes ten thousand epochs to acquire? If it's auctioned, it could fetch an astronomical price!

Although the price of selling to the company is not as high as that of auctioning, this extremely valuable item can be directly exchanged for points.

Generally, Divine Envoy Inheritance Crystals are priced between 30 billion and 50 billion Chaos Yuan, with rarer ones fetching even higher prices. They are also plentiful; the Hongmeng alone possesses over 8000, with roughly a dozen of each type.

Even if a divine messenger inherits a supreme position, he is merely an invincible king. At best, the power of that position can barely rival the most ordinary cosmic supreme beings.

However, the value of Divine General Inheritance Crystals is completely different. Divine General Inheritance Crystals are not collected or publicly counted by the Hongmeng, but are controlled by ancient forces such as the Ancestral God Sect. They are usually bound to the inheritance location of a specific Divine General, rather than circulating widely in the form of "Inheritance Crystals".

The Ancestral God Cult system comprises 72 divine generals, each theoretically corresponding to a specific lineage, but not all possess an independent lineage crystal. Most divine generals' lineages are obtained by entering designated lineage locations (such as specific areas within the Ancestral God Mystic Realm or the Human Race's Demon Mountain Mystic Realm) and completing trials.

The inheritance of divine titles typically involves three stages, each offering exceptional rewards. Some stages even reward powerful treasures as early as the second stage, and even the least desirable third stage usually grants a treasure, sometimes even a top-tier one. Furthermore, an inheritance crystal can be used to enter the inheritance process once every 10081 epochs. Successfully inheriting a supreme position means becoming a top-tier cosmic overlord!

It's important to understand that humanity only has three top-tier cosmic overlords, whose strategic significance is immense, placing them second only to the cosmic masters in terms of racial status. Even the cosmic masters would show them respect. Furthermore, in the virtual universe, they can even build palaces atop Thunder Mountain—a location once reserved for cosmic masters. This demonstrates the immense status of these top-tier cosmic overlords.

Therefore, the value of this kind of Divine General Inheritance Crystal is estimated to be at least calculated based on Treasure Points.

If it weren't for the fear that some demons might be guarding the outer battlefield where the inheritance was located, Wu Qingfeng wouldn't have considered selling this thing.

It's not a bad deal; you can sell valuable treasure points and get rewarded with points. Then you can buy the complete set of the Light and Dark Chaos Stele, the Light and Dark Secret Codex, cross the Tongtian Mountain, and directly become an apprentice of the Lord of the Universe, preferably the Lord of Darkness, who is the most suitable master for you and also an extremely wealthy Lord of the Universe. Moreover, he will have a high level of education, a disciple of the Lord of the Universe, and only one disciple of his own.

This is far superior to becoming an apprentice of Giant Axe or Chaos. After all, which other universe lord doesn't have a bunch of disciples? It's just that Darkness is naturally averse to taking on disciples, and since he's a hidden universe lord of the human race, he's not often among his people, so he takes on very few disciples.

If he successfully becomes the master of the Lord of Darkness, then he can be considered to have embarked on a smooth path.

Two months later, Wu Qingfeng finally entered Chaos City.

The Divine General Inheritance Crystal also caused a sensation among the upper echelons of the Virtual Universe Company, as it was a treasure even to the Venerable Ones.

Finally, a reward of 100 Treasure Points and 1000 billion points will be given.

This was somewhat unexpected for Wu Qingfeng. He had initially thought it would be at most a few dozen treasure points. He hadn't anticipated that this was a divine general's inheritance, something the human race didn't possess, and the third-stage reward was a top-tier treasure. Most importantly, the position of this divine general was vacant, allowing him to compete for the title! That's why he was given such a large reward. Otherwise, it would be highly unlikely that a realm lord like him, without any background, would receive such a substantial reward.

Buy the complete Light and Darkness Manual for 1000 billion points. This top-tier technique has no discounts, but it's definitely worth the price.

The complete set of nine volumes was packed into a huge box. It possessed the same effect as the Chaos Monument of Light and Darkness.

Wu Qingfeng went into seclusion to cultivate, only to discover that his efficiency was incomparable to that of the original owner of the body. What used to be like seeing flowers through a fog was now as clear as if viewed through a microscope.

The comprehension gained after fusing with the primordial jade embryo likely surpassed that of the original ancestor, given that it represented the limits of the primordial universe. The combination of the two increased the efficiency of comprehending the laws by more than ten thousand times!

The previous bottlenecks are gone, and the progress of the laws is advancing by leaps and bounds!

The world inside the body has now expanded to ten trillion kilometers due to the fusion with the primordial jade embryo.

The diameter of the world within the ordinary realm can reach tens of thousands of kilometers.

Peak Ninth-Order Realm Lord: The diameter of his inner world can reach 100,000 kilometers.

Furthermore, Luo Feng's inner world reached one trillion kilometers during his World Lord stage, but this was a special case (such as an extreme case after multiple amplifications from the Golden Horned Beast and Blood Crystal), far exceeding the scale that ordinary World Lords could achieve.

Therefore, it is now more difficult for Wu Qingfeng to break through the original core than for Luo Feng!

Luo Feng broke through the original core using an ultimate secret technique. His original core was ten times larger than Luo Feng's, and it was estimated that only a peak-level secret technique of a universe master could break through it!

This is a secret technique that only the Lord of the Universe could create! Even a Supreme Being of the Universe would find it nearly impossible to create.

The Devouring Stars Secret Technique is first classified as unordinary, then as top-tier.

The secret techniques created by ordinary realm lords and some mediocre immortal gods are simply not up to par.

Many secret techniques created by immortal gods who have been granted titles and some geniuses who have become realm lords are all within the ordinary category.

The realm lord is an unparalleled genius and a king-level immortal god; the secret techniques he created are top-tier!

Then comes the pinnacle secret techniques/ultimate skills of the Cosmic Venerable, and the ultimate secret techniques of the Cosmic Overlord (also known as the ultimate ultimate skills of the Cosmic Venerable). The standard for the top Cosmic Overlord is the ultimate secret technique, which is more than a thousand times the genetic level.

Next are the Universe Lord's Peak Secret Technique (roughly at the second tier), the Universe Lord's Ultimate Secret Technique (roughly at the third tier), the Universe Lord's Strongest Secret Technique (a top-tier fourth-tier secret technique), and the Universe Lord's Fusion Strongest Secret Technique (a top-tier fifth-tier secret technique).

The secret techniques created by the Lord of the Universe are divided into peak and ultimate. However, even the ultimate secret techniques of the Lord of the Universe have different levels. Some barely cross the threshold of the ultimate, while others reach the 'limit' of the ultimate—this is what is known as the strongest secret technique of the Lord of the Universe! It represents the limit that a Lord of the Universe can reach!

The secret technique that can create a "top-tier fifth-order" level by relying on the laws of fusion or the laws of spacetime is called the "strongest fusion secret technique." However, most top-tier fifth-order universe masters achieve their strongest fusion secret technique by cleverly fusing two of the strongest secret techniques. Why is it that, among all top-tier fifth-order beings, the Lord of Chaos is considered by the Cosmic Sea to be the most likely to break through to become the strongest universe master? It's because the Lord of Chaos created a genuine top-tier fifth-order secret technique using the laws of spacetime!

The lords of the universe generally create their own secret techniques at the second to fifth level, and many lords of the universe are stuck at the peak of the fifth level! If one can create a sixth-level secret technique, and does not insist on taking the path of divine power, one will have reached the requirements of a true god in terms of realm.

All the major powers in the Cosmic Sea believed that the Lord of the Universe could not even create a top-tier sixth-order secret technique (the level of the strongest person in the universe at the beginning).
