Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Lottery of All Things

"I suggest the reward should be the same value as the inheritance crystal ball; we can't let such a genius's spirit be dampened!"

One sitting next to the Lord of Darkness.

The handsome man, dressed in ice-blue battle armor and exuding an icy aura, spoke first.

"Hmm!" The Lord of Darkness nodded in agreement with his junior brother's words.

"The value of a top-tier cosmic overlord is immeasurable; the reward certainly can't be much less than the inheritance crystal ball!"

Another universe master of the Virtual Universe Company, the Dragon Lord, also expressed his opinion.

"Then... should we reward him with a common weapon treasure or an equivalent amount of treasure points?"

"According to what you're saying, Huang Jian, a top-tier cosmic overlord isn't even as valuable as an ordinary weapon treasure?"

"No, I was just offering some suggestions!"

"..."

"Alright, let's reward Zuo Yan with a high-grade weapon treasure or treasure points of equivalent value!"

"But... he can only use the Treasure Points in the Human Race Treasury after he becomes strong enough."

"Meeting adjourned!"

The man with the giant axe, sitting in the main seat, spoke directly, slammed his hand on the table to make a decision, and then left the meeting.

The Lord of Chaos City had a very happy expression on his face.

He also left the plane of the giant axe and returned to the palace.

He smiled as he looked at the disciple who was sitting cross-legged on the ground cultivating.

"Disciple, the human race's leadership has already decided on your reward."

Zuo Yan immediately noticed that her teacher had returned.

Before the Chaos City Lord could say what the reward was, he expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you so much, teacher, for fighting for your student!"

"Hmm, your reward is a high-grade weapon treasure or treasure points of equivalent value."

"Once you have sufficient strength, you can go to the human treasury in Chaos City to exchange for it."

A high-grade weapon treasure can be of ordinary quality or of superb quality.

The value of a typical high-level weapon treasure is in the range of 7-13 treasure points.

Their value and the reasons for their being so precious also differ considerably.

This can be considered an invisible benefit that the Lord of Chaos City secured for him.

The human race's higher-ups wouldn't hold a grudge against a genius like Zuo Yan.

"Wow, I'm rich!"

Zuo Yan was overjoyed.

Although the value of a high-grade weapon treasure is far less than that of the top-grade high-level treasure he crafted, the "Frostfire Pool".

But... he practically got this Demon Sound God General's inheritance crystal ball for free!

"Hmm, with your talent, once you break through to the Immortal realm, your strength should be comparable to a low-level Universe Venerable, and you will be qualified to use supreme treasures or supreme treasure points."

Thank you, teacher!

Zuo Yan thought to himself, as if there were several crows flying in the sky.

He thought to himself, "Is this what a true genius in the ordinary world is like?"

That's so... outdated!

"Practice diligently!"

The Lord of Chaos waved his hand and sent Zuo Yan back to the cultivation room in Manor No. 113.

……

Zuo Yanshui's son was staying in the cultivation room.

His true self was in the system's world space.

"With my current soul strength, I can already cultivate the third form of 'Transforming Myriad Souls', 'Transforming a Hundred Souls'."

Zuo Yan's consciousness sensed the light deep within his soul's sea of ​​consciousness.

That was the true essence of the inheritance of the supreme soul secret technique, "Ten Thousand Souls".

He can use his consciousness to probe into it at any time to check the cultivation methods of "Ten Thousand Souls".

Zuo Yan had already created nine other soul fragments.

If one were to cultivate the "Transformation of a Hundred Souls" technique now, one would need to create ninety more separate souls.

This process is difficult and dangerous.

But... Zuo Yan's soul and will have now reached the limit of immortality.

The problem is not big.

It just takes a little more time.

He sat cross-legged and meditated, regulating his breathing to calm himself.

His entire being was as calm and peaceful as still water.

Ten days later, in Zuo Yan's soul sea of ​​consciousness.

His main soul floated out from the largest soul crystal in the Soul Net.

A soul blade materialized in front of him.

Then, it resolutely slashed at the main soul.

Swish!

Zuo Yan's main soul was cleaved in two by the Soul Blade.

They were able to draw upon the medicinal power of the Soul Fruit from their sea of ​​consciousness to restore their souls.

A few days later, both souls were restored to their original state.

Eleventh fragment of the soul floated nearby.

The main soul continued to control the soul blade, cutting itself in two.

This cycle continues, and the further along the path, the longer it takes for the soul to recover.

……

Three years later, Zuo Yan successfully split his soul into ninety more.

Including his main soul, he now has a total of one hundred complete souls.

After a few days of rest, Zuo Yan began to condense soul crystals.

Even the Golden Soul Fruit and Golden Soul Liquid that he obtained from the Demonic Sound Inheritance were used by him as resources for condensing Soul Crystals.

Two years later, he had gained considerable experience.

Ninety soul crystals were quickly condensed.

The ninety newly differentiated soul fragments directly took up residence within it.

Within Zuo Yan's soul sea, one hundred soul crystals began to rotate in a special way and with a unique structure.

A new soul network, different from the previous one, has formed according to a new pattern.

Zuo Yan's current soul strength, operating speed, and soul defense have all reached a hundred times his original strength.

The speed at which the medicinal power of the Divine Soul Fruit was absorbed also increased significantly.

Zuo Yan's soul thus finally broke through to the level of a Cosmic Venerable.

And the breakthrough of the soul also leads to a breakthrough of the will.

If Zuo Yan doesn't speak out, no one will believe him.

A ninth-tier cosmic-level individual whose soul and will are actually at the level of a cosmic venerable.

In the original work, Hong possessed an extraordinary talent for mental state.

Although his willpower could easily withstand the illusions of ordinary cosmic venerable level beings.

But his soul is definitely not at the immortal level.

Not to mention those at the level of cosmic sages.

Both Hong and Luo Feng elevated their will first, and then their souls.

Unlike Zuo Yan, who possesses the Divine Soul Fruit, a divine medicine that transcends the soul.

It also possesses the supreme soul technique, "Ten Thousand Souls".

His soul and will usually advance and break through together.

That way, there will be no weaknesses.

"With my Soul Net, composed of a hundred Soul Crystals, amplified a hundredfold, even a soul attack from an ordinary Universe Venerable would be useless!"

"If I possessed a soul treasure or a supreme soul treasure... tsk tsk tsk!"

"Is it possible that only the Lord of the Universe could break through my soul defenses?"

With his soul greatly enhanced in all aspects, Zuo Yan's attitude is no longer what it used to be.

"Time to head to the Abyss of Purgatory!"

Although Zuo Yan's soul has been strengthened.

However, the aftereffects of cultivating the Nine Tribulations of the Heavenly Demon are still present.

He could only suppress it within his body through sheer willpower.

If it is not truly eliminated, it will always exist.

When Zuo Yan was cultivating, he had a vague feeling that there might be something in the Purgatory Abyss that could solve the problem of the aftereffects.

……

The Abyss of Purgatory is also a challenging training mission.

The location is within the original secret realm.

The Purgatory Abyss mission is ranked first among all cultivation missions, offering the highest points reward.

The mortality rate was 99.8%, an extremely terrifying rate.

These are all geniuses who believe themselves to be strong enough and have made ample preparations.

It took a long time and countless lives to build it.

There is only one mission in the Abyss of Purgatory.

That means if you survive for three years, you will receive a reward of one million points.

It seems simple, but it's not!

It is unlike the worlds of Bloodlust and Demon Mountain.

The abyss of purgatory is teeming with demons.

Bloody battles rage every moment!
