Devouring Star Heart: Illusionary Demon Lord

Inside the secret chamber of Wu Qingfeng's residence in Chaos City, a condensed purple-gold flame suddenly surged, accompanied by violent spatial fluctuations. The figure surrounded by blazing flames slowly solidified, its aura powerful and domineering, far surpassing that of ordinary King-level invincible immortals. It was a Void Flame Avatar specializing in the fusion of fire and space.

The illusory flame clone opened its eyes, crimson-gold flames dancing within them. With a raised hand, a wisp of condensed fire-space energy gathered in its palm, transforming into a small, flaming longsword. Intricate spatial patterns flowed along the blade, emanating a chilling aura of destruction. "The pinnacle secret technique 'Flaming Void Incineration,' created by my main body, has been modified by this clone to be the most suitable technique, increasing its power by more than thirty percent," the illusory flame clone's voice tinged with excitement.

The illusory flame clone is naturally compatible with the laws of fire and space, making it twice as effective when modifying secret techniques of the same attribute. Originally, the "Flame Void Burning Silence" technique was only at the peak level of a Universe Venerable. However, through the illusory flame clone's profound understanding of the laws of fire and space, it broke through the shackles and was only one step away from becoming an ultimate secret technique of a Universe Overlord. In particular, its soul secret technique, although not as good as the innate secret technique, can still be considered an ultimate secret technique, enough to crush ordinary Venerables!

The natural disadvantage of a realm lord is too great. Even if Wu Qingfeng has an extremely high genetic level, a heaven-defying talent and secret technique, and comprehends the ultimate secret technique, only his soul secret technique can threaten a universe overlord with the support of a soul treasure and the will of a top universe overlord. If the opponent has a soul treasure, he will be completely helpless!

In terms of pure physical attack, even ordinary Universe Venerables are helpless against it. After all, no matter how high the secret technique, the inability of a Realm Lord to unleash its power without divine power is a fatal flaw, not to mention the vast difference in basic levels between a Realm Lord and a Venerable! An ordinary Venerable with only 1x genetic potential possesses 10 million times the power of a Realm Lord, and a normal Venerable has at least 10x genetic potential. Which Venerable can't afford treasures like ten Blood Crystals? That's 100 million times the power of a Realm Lord. Even if Wu Qingfeng has 10,000x genetic potential, he's still 10,000 times weaker than that. The difference in amplitude and secret techniques can't compensate for that much!

The reason why the Ancestral God Cult can win is because everyone is a virtual divine body with the same basic foundation!

The secret technique has been improved, and I am ready to exchange it for a suitable treasure. Fully armed, I will follow the guidance of the Light and Time Beast God Inheritance Ring to go to that hidden secret realm to inherit the Light and Time Beast God's legacy.

With a flash, the Void Flame Soul Emperor disappeared from the secret chamber and headed straight for the treasure exchange office located in the City Lord's Mansion.

As the personal disciple of the Lord of Darkness, Wu Qingfeng possesses extremely high authority and holds a large number of Treasure Points. His senior brother, Lord Youhou, had previously given him ten Treasure Points, of which he had only used two. He has enough Treasure Points to exchange for a top-tier set of powerful treasures.

It's not that we can't afford to exchange for the most valuable items, but rather that the lesser valuable items are more cost-effective!

With the world power of a realm lord, even with his immense divine body, he could only barely activate the first level of a supreme treasure, the effect of which was not much different from the second level of a top-tier treasure. Therefore, aside from the soul supreme treasure that could be effective, the best choice for the void clone was to keep all other supreme treasures in the main body and exchange them for top-tier treasures.

They arrived at the ancient side hall of the City Lord's Mansion, where treasures could be exchanged. Inside, a stone disc about 100 meters in diameter stood in the center. Wu Qingfeng stepped forward to inquire; his authority allowed him to access information on high-grade treasures, which were kept confidential. However, he only had 8 treasure points and 1200 minor treasure points. He couldn't afford even high-grade treasures.

The treasure vault contained a multitude of treasures, including various materials, special resources, and even the slumbering immortal Zerg queen. It also contained some World Lord-level special life forms capable of possession, though those with the talent for creating clones were extremely rare. The catalog of precious treasures shimmered with light, countless rare and precious items floating in the void, radiating a powerful aura.

After careful selection, the illusory flame clone locked onto a set of crimson armor, engraved with flame and spatial runes. The armor was enveloped in dense flame and spatial energy—a top-tier treasure set: the Flame Demon Armor. "The Flame Demon Armor can withstand a full-force attack from a high-level Venerable, reducing damage to one ten-thousandth. Attacks from a Cosmic Overlord are significantly reduced, while attacks from a top-tier Overlord will shatter it instantly. It can split into 1008 fire-space attribute golden swords, a top-tier psychic weapon, suitable for cultivators of the Fire-Space Law, and worth 1.5 Treasure Points." The intelligent lifeform at the exchange slowly announced the Flame Demon Armor's attributes and price.

Without hesitation, the illusory flame clone bought it. The next second, a vortex appeared on the stone platform, and the Flame Demon Armor appeared, transforming into a crimson stream of light that instantly merged into his body. The flame aura around him became increasingly condensed, and the secret patterns of the armor faintly appeared on his body, possessing both the domineering power of burning the heavens and the mystery of space.

With a thought, 1008 crimson-gold Fire Void Swords separated from his armor and floated around him. Flames rose from the blades, and the space fluctuated faintly. Their aura alone was enough to intimidate ordinary King-level Immortals.

After exchanging for the Flame Demon Armor, the illusory flame clone didn't stop; it also needed to exchange for domain-type and palace-type treasures. Although the main body possessed a high-grade, top-tier domain treasure, with its current strength, it could only barely activate the first level of the secret runes. The effect it produced was almost the same as a top-tier domain treasure activating the second, complete level of the secret runes, and it was difficult to unleash the full power of the world's energy. Carrying it would be a waste. It would be better to exchange for a top-tier domain treasure that suited its own fire and space laws, so as to maximize its combat power.

While pondering, he selected a top-tier domain treasure called "Flame Cloud Sea". Its shape resembles a crimson jade pendant. When activated, it can form a flame domain spanning tens of millions of kilometers. It can both amplify the power of his own fire-type laws and suppress the enemy's speed, thus weakening the enemy's divine body. It is worth 1.2 treasure points.

In addition, I redeemed another top-tier palace treasure, "Flaming Palace," which can be used for resting while flying or as a defensive fortress to withstand unexpected dangers. It is worth 2.5 Treasure Points. After deducting the Treasure Points, I instantly acquired two treasures.

At this moment, the illusory flame clone, clad in the Flame Demon Armor and empowered by the Dark Demon Crystal in its sea of ​​consciousness, coupled with a near-ultimate modified secret technique, has seen its combat power soar to the peak of the King-level invincible realm. Even against ordinary Universe Venerables, it possesses the strength to fight. However, it must be cautious when encountering a Universe Overlord. Without a Soul Treasure, it might be directly annihilated by the soul; with a Soul Treasure, it will be hunted down and killed!

Fully armed, the Void Flame clone took out an ancient silver ring—the very same Light-Time Beast God Inheritance Ring. Since obtaining this ring, it had emitted a faint sense of direction, guiding him to a hidden secret realm. However, he had been busy nurturing his clone and improving his secret techniques, and had not yet set off.

Now that everything is ready, it is the perfect time to reap the inheritance of the Light-Time Beast God. The Void Flame Avatar probed its divine sense into the inheritance ring, and instantly, a blurry spatial coordinate and information about the secret realm entered its sea of ​​consciousness. That hidden secret realm was located at the border between the human and demon territories, concealed within a chaotic spatial current. Ordinary experts could not detect it at all; only with the guidance of the inheritance ring could one arrive at it precisely.

The other secret techniques or treasures in the inheritance are one thing, but just the fact that the palace treasures hidden in the inheritance are top-grade palace treasures mentioned in the message is an enormous gain. Apart from the Giant Axe Founder, it would be difficult for the human race to find even one like that! There may not even be many top-grade palace treasures.

"The inheritance of the Light-Time Beast God is surely mine." A burning desire flashed in the eyes of the Void Flame Avatar, and with a flash, he left Chaos City.

He took out the Flame Heaven Palace, and the precious palace transformed into a streak of crimson-gold light, speeding towards the direction indicated by the inheritance ring. The stars and nebulae along the way rushed past in his eyes, and the outline of the primordial universe gradually disappeared behind him.
