Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 107 Re-entering the Sky Bridge

"The combination of an Earthling's soul and the body of the Flame God Clan is the key to unlocking the strongest cosmic life!"

After listening to Tu Zheng's explanation, Shen Mu understood just how great his advantage was.

Although both the Yan God Clan and the Earthlings are creations of the Mountain Dweller, both are talents with uneven abilities.

Now that Shen Mu has combined these two elements, the potential he can unleash is definitely not as simple as one plus one equals two.

"Please, Master Mad Blade Wang, teach me the secret method to stimulate gene evolution!" Shen Mu bowed slightly to Tu Zheng.

Tu Zheng quickly replied, "Your Highness, there's no need for that. It is my honor to guide Your Highness's cultivation."

A moment later, Shen Mu obtained the complete Yan Shen Clan evolution secret technique, the Nine Revolutions.

Theoretically, the genes of the Yan Shen clan can undergo nine evolutions. The first evolution can cause a fundamental leap in the genes, directly evolving to three times their original size, which is called the first transformation.

The evolution and fusion of Blood Crystals and other special treasures that enhance genes here are different. Fusion with Blood Crystals will not cause permanent changes to genes; they will only temporarily oscillate after the power of Blood Crystals is activated.

This kind of amplitude-based genetic enhancement can only be permanently solidified after achieving immortality, when all power is condensed into a divine body under the influence of the universe's rules.

In the original story, the Lord of Chaos City also told Luo Feng that it would be best for him to fuse with a hundred Blood Crystals before reaching the Immortal Realm. In this way, after achieving Immortality, he would be no different from a special life form with a hundred times the genetic potential.

The genetic evolution of the Yan God Clan is a true evolution, just like the life evolution that occurs when a planetary-level being breaks through to a constant-level being. It comes from the deepest level of genetic enhancement, resulting in permanent changes.

Starting from the first reincarnation, the body's genes will double with each subsequent reincarnation.

Under normal circumstances, the first genetic evolution is 3 times, the second is 6 times, and the third is 12 times. And so on. If one can undergo nine genetic evolutions, the body's genes will evolve to 768 times.

……

In the primeval secret realm, within the Xue Tong Star courtyard, Shen Mu slowly opened his eyes.

"As expected, it can break the limitation of a hundredfold increase in genes... The race created by the Mountain Dweller is truly extraordinary."

Now try activating the Nine Revolutions Secret Technique to allow the Flame God Clan clone to evolve!

Shen Mu was quite confident in his willpower. According to the Mad Blade King, most immortals of the Flame God Clan could achieve the first genetic transformation, which meant their first evolution only required their willpower to rival that of an immortal god.

Inside the inner world, a six-meter-tall avatar of the Flame God Clan sat cross-legged on the surface of the Heavenly Pool, striking a strange pose.

A peculiar heat flowed through the body of the Flame God Clan member, and false signals of death and destruction were transmitted within the cells.

As time passed, the cells within the Yan Shen Clan's clone began to react to this false signal, and the most primal survival instinct emerged.

But that's not strong enough!

"First turn!"

Shen Mu's heart was serious. He slightly changed his strange posture and adjusted his state, making the false signal of death and destruction suddenly amplify countless times.

hum!

In an instant, countless cells in my body trembled, as if letting out a final roar.

An ancient, vast, and profound aura emanated from the body of the Flame God Clan avatar. The towering six-meter-tall burly body began to tremble at this moment, a stress response from the biological instinct to resist death.

Danger! Danger!

The instinctive urge to survive overwhelmed Shen Mu's mind, attempting to stop his suicidal behavior.

At this moment, within Shen Mu's sea of ​​consciousness, the soul essence, flowing with nine-colored radiance, shone brightly. Under the powerful state of mind and will, the instinctive fear of death of living beings was forcibly suppressed.

During this process, the cells of the Flame God Clan's clones began their final eruption, and the dormant ancient power began to revive.

Boom!

Invisible runes emerged from the gene chain, intertwining to engrave an ancient pattern.

As time passed, a total of 72000 special 'vessels' appeared in Shen Mu's body. These were the energy circulation vessels hidden within the bodies of the Yan Shen clan members.

These lines only emerge under the threat of death, driving genetic evolution.

Before long, these meridians and arcs connected the key acupoints in the body that regulate energy flow, forming a perfect and exquisite three-dimensional pattern.

The pure power of the world began to circulate along these pathways, as if simulating the energy flow of a great and perfect life.

Crack!

Click!

The muscles and bones of the Flame God Clan clone cracked and popped as countless cells throughout its body began to frantically devour cosmic energy, undergoing their final transformation.

This step is also the most dangerous time in gene evolution. If the stimulation of one's own genes is interrupted during this process, these energy channels will become dormant again, gene evolution will be interrupted, and gene collapse will occur.

Of course, this only happens when evolution is achieved through secret methods. True near-death experiences triggering genetic evolution without interruption or failure. However, near-death experiences usually mean actual death, and evolution occurring during such a near-death event is extremely rare, occurring only once in ten thousand times.

The entire evolution lasted about half a day. The moment the genetic evolution was completed, a powerful and ancient aura burst forth from the Yan God Clan's avatar.

……

Outside, Shen Mu was multitasking, controlling his Yan Shen Clan clone to continue its genetic evolution.

Secondly, the Earthling himself began to comprehend the first level of the "Seven Layers of Water and Space," the Scale and Armor chapter. Finally, the Azure Dragon clone continued to comprehend the profound mysteries of the laws of space.

Normally speaking, Shen Mu's psychic power amplitude is almost ten thousand times the limit of the universe, so even if he can't use his mind for everything, it's not too far off.

"The first evolution is complete. Let's continue and see if we can directly complete the second evolution."

Even within the Yan Shen Clan, very few individuals can evolve their genes twice; among the Yan Shen Clan's King-level experts, only a very small number can achieve this.

As for beings who have undergone three genetic evolutions, there are only a very few Universe Venerables. Beyond that realm, only the first Venerable of the Yan God Clan, the Yan God Venerable, and the current leader of the Yan God Clan, the Yan Emperor, have reached it.

As the avatar of the Flame God Clan began its second genetic evolution, the fear of death rose to a new level.

However, it didn't have a significant impact on Shen Mu. Back when he had just reached the Realm Lord level, Shen Mu's will had already subtly surpassed the limits of immortal gods.

When the Demonic Sound God inherited the final stage of the Demonic Sound Illusion ability, most of the universe's venerable beings were unable to resist it.

Shen Mu was able to barely pass the test not only because his will had faintly exceeded the limits of immortality, but also because the Golden Soul Fruit and the Nine-Colored Illusionary God Crystal had changed Shen Mu's soul characteristics, greatly increasing his resistance to the inherited demonic sound.

"The impact is quite significant; it's better to multitask."

Overwhelmed by intense fear, Shen Mu decided to let his Earthling self rest for the time being, as the matter of studying the laws of fusion could not be rushed.

According to Senior Sister Bai Feng, the difficulty of mastering the laws of fusion is much greater than comprehending the essence of the 108 spatial laws.

This evolution of the Flame God Clan clone lasted for nearly half a month, and the initial genes eventually reached 6 times.

Moreover, the Yan God Clan clone did not disappoint Shen Mu. It once again activated the power of Blood Luo and indeed broke through the hundredfold limit of genes, temporarily transforming the body's genes to about 180 times.

"The Blood Crystal isn't as effective as before, but it's still pretty good."

As the genetic level increases, the improvement of Bloodlust Power will decrease. However, based on Luo Feng's experience in the original work, as long as Shen Mu's genes can complete nine evolutions, achieving perfect genes will be a piece of cake.

"Let's see if we can directly complete the third genetic evolution."

With a thought, Shen Mu controlled his Yan God Clan clone to attempt a third genetic evolution.

According to the experience of the Flame God Clan taught by the Mad Blade King, the third evolution will take about two months, during which the fear will become increasingly intense.

One month later, in the Xue Tong Xing courtyard.

Beneath a world-lord level snow tung tree, Shen Mu, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes, his face pale and he was panting heavily.

At this moment, within his inner world, the aura of the Flame God Clan clone began to surge violently, countless blood-red cracks appeared all over his body, his genes began to collapse, and his vitality began to wane.

A moment later, the avatar of the Flame God Clan completely perished, then transformed into wisps of primordial energy, beginning its resurrection within its inner world.

"Huff, huff—"

"I'm such a useless person... Even though I know I won't really die, I still can't control that fear."

In fact, Shen Mu's expectations of himself were a bit too high. As his genes began to evolve, the fear of death would become stronger and stronger.

In the end, the fear that Shen Mu felt was enough to make a newly arrived Universe Venerable lose his composure.

"It's still far from enough. In the original story, when Luo Feng recognized the Star Tower as his master, his will truly reached the level of a Universe Venerable, and at an extremely high level among Universe Venerables."

Of course, Luo Feng was able to do this because he had experienced more than five thousand years of "soul torment," while Shen Mu, including his past and present lives, had only lived for a few hundred years, and his foundation was still too weak.

"The evolution of the Flame God Clan's clone can be put on hold for now; it's already powerful enough at this stage."

Currently, the gene power of the Yan Shen Clan's clones can reach up to 180 times, and after using the Amplification Secret Technique, they can unleash up to 1.8 times the power of a Realm Lord. Under normal circumstances, when the basic power of a divine body reaches 1 times, one is considered to have achieved the status of a King-level Immortal.

"1.8 times the power of a Realm Lord is enough to activate the Flame God Clan King Armor."

The Flame God Clan King Armor requires at least 1 times the power of a Realm Lord to activate, and can grant the wearer up to 10 times the power of a Realm Lord.

"We still need to ask the Lord of Qianwu Kingdom to purchase a royal armor through Hongmeng Yubaotang."

Treasures like the King Armor, which are useful even to those who have reached the King level, are not sold in the virtual universe's treasure vault; they can only be purchased within the Hong Alliance. However, only those who have reached the King level within the human race and its affiliated races can join the Hong Alliance.

However, the price of the Flame God Clan King Armor isn't high, only 50 billion points. After all, only the Flame God Clan can truly activate this treasure; even if other races forcibly use it, it's somewhat of a waste.

A moment later, Shen Mu connected with his teacher, the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom. After explaining his situation, he transferred a total of 110 billion points, including the 160 billion points he had previously borrowed.

Hongmeng's delivery speed is even faster than that of Virtual Universe Company. Shen Mu asked the Qianwu Kingdom Lord to place an order, and the goods were delivered directly to Shen Mu in less than a day.

"The next most important task is to comprehend the laws of space and integrate the essence of those laws."

At this point, Shen Mu once again entered a state of seclusion, focusing his mind on two things at once: comprehending the laws of space and the intent of the Beast God.

Time flies, and nearly thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past thirty years, Shen Mu has consulted Venerable Bai Feng on the laws of fusion several times, and has gained a great deal, vaguely comprehending a trace of the Beast God's intent.

According to Venerable Bai Feng, the Beast God's Intent and the Beast God's Way are merely a means to comprehend the complete fusion of laws; the true essence lies in the understanding of both laws.

Otherwise, no matter how deep Shen Mu's understanding of the Way of the Beast God is, if his comprehension of the two laws of water and space is insufficient, he cannot merge with the void, right?

Therefore, over the past thirty years, Shen Mu has devoted most of his energy to comprehending the two laws of water and space.

Although distraction prevented Shen Mu from maintaining the pace of comprehending one spatial essence per year, he ultimately succeeded in comprehending the essence of the last 20 spatial laws within these 30 years.

Moreover, Shen Mu has thoroughly comprehended the fourth volume of "The Theory of Icebound", greatly improving his mastery of the Law of Water. He is now only one step away from fully comprehending the complete law, which is also the most difficult step.

The improvement in mastery of the two laws is one aspect, but the most important thing is to thoroughly understand the essence of the fourth picture of the Frozen Chaos Stele, that trace of the fusion law's meaning.

At this point, Shen Mu's mastery of the laws officially rivaled that of a Marquis-level immortal powerhouse.

The so-called mastery of laws at the level of being granted a title of nobility usually refers to understanding the changes of a higher-level law, or understanding all the essence of a higher-level law.

Of course, the changes in the higher laws here refer to the most superficial changes, such as small changes like spatial resonance and spatial distortion.

Taking the laws of space as an example, the three highest transformations of the laws of space are teleportation, strangulation, and sealing.

However, these three ultimate techniques are further divided into many subcategories. For example, under the instantaneous transformation, it can be subdivided into many subcategories such as spatial resonance and body merging with the void. Only by fully comprehending them can one be said to have fully comprehended the highest transformation, instantaneous transformation.

……

On this day, within the Tree Hollow Palace, the cold voice of Venerable White Phoenix echoed.

"The so-called Beast God Realm is essentially a special realm born from the fusion of two major laws, which is far more difficult than obtaining the minimum recognition from a higher law."

"Junior Brother, if you want to comprehend the Scale Armor Chapter in a short time, the fastest shortcut is to study the Chaos Stele."

Shen Mu nodded slightly and said, "To comprehend the Chaos Stele... that's fine too."

Having left Chaos City for over a hundred years, Shen Mu's mastery of the laws is now countless times higher than before, and his accumulated knowledge is many times deeper. It's time for him to unleash his full potential.

"When I left Chaos City, I only had one more chance to study the Chaos Stele, which wasn't enough."

Upon hearing Shen Mu's words, Venerable Bai Feng raised an eyebrow and said, "So you're going to try to cross the Heavenly Bridge?"

"Well, after so many years of silence, it's time to make a move."

……

The Skybridge plane.

Baffin, a steadfast guardian of that beautiful island, has remained there for countless years, silently protecting it.

Suddenly, a figure dressed in white appeared out of thin air on the Tongtianqiao Square, attracting the attention of many people.

The guard, Baffin, was slightly taken aback when he saw Shen Mu appear, and then quickly went up to him.

"Shen Mu, it's been a long time."

"Senior Baffin, is anyone on the Frozen Sky Bridge right now?"

The guard, Baffin, looked at Shen Mu and said with some anticipation, "No, you can go and break in right now."

Shen Mu nodded slightly, and in the next instant, his figure transformed into a streak of light, traversing the entrance of the Frozen Sky Bridge and penetrating deep into the long bridge between heaven and earth.
