Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 120 The Choice of World Lord-Level Talent Secret Techniques

After resting at the military base for about a month, Shen Mu returned to the battlefield outside the region.

On the continent of Yanji, in the dark universe, a super spaceship forged from Star Tear Gold is speeding at a hundred times the speed of light.

"I came to the outer battlefield to hone my skills. Hunting immortal gods is secondary; the most important thing is to hone my combat techniques."

Inside the spaceship's main control room, Shen Mu held a wine glass, pondering future plans, the glass shimmering with a faint essence of starlight.

This is Starry Breeze Wine, a precious liquor that can provide a "high-speed thinking buff" for a short period of time. It is generally one of the drinks commonly used by Venerable-level experts, and its value is naturally quite high.

"Whether it's my mastery of laws, secret techniques, amplitude, genes, or anything else, I am already an absolute leader among my peers."

"But their combat experience is still insufficient."

Shen Mu was well aware of his weaknesses. Since leaving Earth, his opponents were either inferior to him in terms of laws or in terms of basic strength.

To summarize, I've never played a game where I was behind, and I've almost never played a game where I was even.

In terms of combat habits, Shen Mu's combat habits are still those honed during his time at the star and cosmic levels.

The combat habits at that level are simply not in the same league as those of World Lords or even Immortals.

This is not because Shen Mu lacks talent, but simply because Shen Mu's progress is too fast and there isn't enough time.

It's a very simple question. Since Shen Mu achieved the level of World Lord, how many times has he used World Projection?

Which realm lord-level expert hasn't mastered the art of using world projection to an unparalleled degree, even integrating it into their own secret techniques and combat? But Shen Mu hasn't.

"Tuanzi, begin maximum power exploration, aiming for the peak Immortal Military Lord and the initial Marquis title."

"Huh? With Master's immense power, isn't a mere lowly Marquis rank nothing more than an ant?"

A virtual 3D projection appeared, condensing into a puzzled expression on Tuanzi's face.

Shen Mu smiled and said, "Leaving aside the Amplification Secret Technique and the great treasures, my basic strength is only at the level of advanced immortality."

Actually, if you want to find opponents, it's better to go to the virtual universe, where you can set them up however you want.

However, since Shen Mu possessed the avatar of the Yan God Clan, he has been suppressing the desire for battle and slaughter that comes from his genes.

Sometimes, letting things take their natural course leads to faster progress than forcibly suppressing them.

……

From that day on, Shen Mu began hunting down alien races at the peak of the Immortal Army Lord level and those at the initial Marquis level.

Occasionally, when encountering a high-ranking marquis or the peak of the marquisate, Shen Mu would unleash his full power to reap a wave of military merits and points.

Each time, they would roam the outer battlefields for about a year, and then return to the barracks base to rest for a while. They would also convert the spoils of this trip into mixed units and points.

Time flies, and more than 60 years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the years, on average, Shen Mu has killed about twenty or thirty alien marquises on the battlefields outside the region each year, and the number of ordinary immortals who died at his hands is as high as three digits.

In almost 99% of the battles, Shen Mu did not use the Amplification Secret Technique or any powerful treasures. He relied entirely on the 500-fold life gene level of his Yan God Clan clone to fight.

Even against an immortal being who had been granted the title of Marquis, he was slowly worn down to death by Femoro venom.

The effect of Femo's Venom is far less than the destructive chill that comes with the Heavy Treasure Flowing Gun.

Because immortal gods will abandon part of their divine body as soon as they detect the poison's corrosive effects, there is almost no situation where they can directly poison their opponent to death.

Of course, while Femoro Venom is a powerful weapon, it is also a double-edged sword.

Once those marquises who possessed immortal bodies realized that Shen Mu was using high-grade venom, they all chose to fight to the death, even at the cost of burning their divine power.

It can be said that Shen Mu was able to kill a Marquis-level expert by combining all his abilities except for the Amplification Secret Technique and the powerful treasure, and by performing them with unparalleled skill.

Shen Mu was also immersed in the thrill of the battle.

Every time the Flame God Clan clone faces a powerful enemy, it experiences a kind of pleasure and impulse derived from its genes—a feeling that is hard to describe.

In these battles, Shen Mu vaguely sensed that the dormant power within the Yan God Clan's avatar was showing signs of resurgence.

However, Shen Mu never faced a real life-or-death crisis, nor did he ever truly allow his genes to undergo a third leap.

……

At the No. 026 military base, inside Shen Mu's manor.

"Having traversed overseas battlefields for over 60 years, the countless battles and accumulated experience have enriched my knowledge and skills."

In terms of understanding the laws, Shen Mu is now at the level of the 16th floor of the Heavenly Bridge.

If we take into account the blessing of the fusion of the laws and concepts, it is roughly equivalent to the 17th level of the Bridge to Heaven, which can be considered as an improvement of one level.

"Now that I'm trying to create my own secret technique again, I should be able to gain the approval of Master Ice Peak."

Shen Mu had previously created a spear technique called "Frozen Universe," but the Ice Peak Master commented that it was a complete copy of the essence of the Scale Armor Chapter's secret technique, with too little of his own.

"Let's stick to marksmanship."

Shen Mu began to create his own secret techniques again, integrating his insights and experiences from battles over the years to create his own unique secret techniques.

"I once observed the Ice Mountain Palace of Master Ice Peak, and the water and air law conception contained therein is completely different from the conception of the Beast God's Way."

"The same principles of fusion, but different essences and artistic conceptions."

"It must be that after the Lord of Ice Peaks perfected the fusion of laws, he comprehended something new."

"I certainly don't have the same level of mastery of the principles as my teacher, so if I want to create my own secret method, I have to find another way."

Shen Mu pondered for a long time, and images floated into his mind.

Countless scenes about water, space, and the laws of water and space flooded my mind.

In the end, the image in Shen Mu's heart was fixed: a scene of wind and snow on the planet Xue Tong.

When Shen Mu first witnessed the magnificent snow scene on Xue Tong Star, he could only perceive the fluctuations of the laws of water and space.

But after he entered the path of the Beast God, he vaguely realized that there were deeper mysteries hidden within it.

In fact, everything in the universe originates from the source, which is the evolution of the fundamental laws of the universe, or the evolution of the laws of chaos.

However, that level is too deep, and cultivators can only comprehend it step by step from the lowest level of intent, domain, law, fusion law, and multiple fusion laws.

Meanwhile, countless light-years away, in a primordial secret realm.

On Xue Tong Star, Shen Mu, who had been in seclusion in his courtyard for many years, finally emerged from seclusion.

Normally, every time Shen Mu emerged from seclusion, it was because he encountered doubts about the laws and asked his senior sister, Venerable Bai Feng, for guidance.

This time, Shen Mu did not seek guidance from anyone. Instead, he simply strolled around Xue Tong Star, braving the endless blizzard and traversing the snow-covered glaciers.

On Xue Tong Star, countless Xue Tong trees of all sizes were secretly glancing at Shen Mu.

These plant-like life forms, at the cosmic and domain lord levels, have mindsets similar to human children. They are all curious about what this young prince is doing, yet dare not disturb him.

And so, Shen Mu walked alone through the snow and ice, trying to comprehend the fundamental rules of the universe contained within the snow and ice.

Beneath the largest snow tung tree on this planet, Venerable White Phoenix, shrouded in a misty white fog, appeared out of nowhere.

His gaze seemed to transcend endless time and space, landing on Shen Mu.

"Junior brother, you're only at the Realm Lord level, and you're already forging your own path, really..."

The White Phoenix Venerable's cool voice held a hint of emotion.

Back then, she herself was stuck millions of years after becoming an invincible king before she began to pursue her own path under the guidance of her teacher.

It was during this process that he naturally comprehended the laws of space and became a cosmic master.

The largest immortal-level snow paulownia tree suddenly lit up with wisps of divine light, and then snow paulownia leaves, like snowflakes, fluttered and coalesced into the figure of a girl.

"Master, what is the young prince doing?"

The girl, Xue Tong, looked puzzled and then reached out her little hand to touch her master's.

Venerable Bai Feng stroked Xue Tong's long hair and said softly, "He's growing up."

……

In the blink of an eye, nearly a century has passed.

In recent years, the true human beings of Earth have been comprehending the mysteries of heaven and earth, and the universe. The avatars of the Flame God Clan have not been idle either, and have begun a frenzied slaughter on the extraterrestrial battlefield.

However, this time was different from the last. Shen Mu truly began fighting on the extraterrestrial battlefield as the captain of the Galaxy Squad.

With the full power of Bloodlust and the Amplification Secret Technique activated, he no longer concealed his strength, but instead searched for the traces of those at the peak of the Marquis level and those at the King level, and then risked his life to integrate the secrets he had comprehended from his Earthling clone into the battle.

The efficiency of hunting down King-level powerhouses is naturally not comparable to the efficiency of killing ordinary Immortals.

Over the past century, no fewer than 50 people who reached the peak of the Marquis rank died at Shen Mu's hands, and four people from other ethnic groups were also granted the title of King, including one who was granted the title of High King.

During the battle, Shen Mu secretly used the teleportation ability of his Azure Dragon clone, thus being recognized as a peak-level King-level being.

This earned him the title of "King of Silver Sand".

The reason he was able to earn such a title is because Shen Mu often unleashed the incredibly powerful Blizzard Icefield Domain (World Projection) during battles.

It's not that they couldn't recognize him, but rather that Shen Mu's world projection was simply too enormous—a world projection spanning hundreds of millions of kilometers. Who has ever seen anything like it?

On the contrary, there are many special treasures in areas with a total area of ​​hundreds of millions of kilometers, of all kinds, such as snowstorms, star rivers, and seas of fire, which are the most common.

In every battle, countless snowflakes swept across the sky like silver sand, earning Shen Mu the title of Silver Sand King.

On this day, on the main continent of Yanji.

A streak of light was fleeing at an alarming speed. Its aura had undoubtedly reached the King-level and was extremely violent, clearly burning divine power as it frantically tried to escape.

"King Silver Sand, why do you relentlessly pursue me? Aren't you afraid of the retaliation from my Kong Wan clan?"

While fleeing for his life, the King of the Kong Manzu clan was frantically sending messages around him.

call!

Suddenly, endless snowstorms appeared out of thin air in front of the escape route of the Kong Wan clan's king, and then swept across the area.

An endless, illusory ice field appeared out of thin air, and endless blizzards swept across hundreds of millions of kilometers.

Amidst the endless blizzard, a figure slowly emerged.

"I'm going to kill you, Kong Wan clan! If you're not happy, let that old dog Jueguang come to the outer battlefield and kill me!"

Shen Mu had not forgotten that the strongest member of the Kong Wan clan, Venerable Jueguang, had sent his clone to infiltrate the Qianwu Universe Kingdom to assassinate him.

"Damn it, don't think I'm afraid of you!"

"If it doesn't work out, we'll all go down together!"

Faced with the Silver Sand King who could teleport, the Kong Manji clan king became extremely desperate, burning his divine power on a large scale, determined to fight Shen Mu to the death.

A smile appeared on Shen Mu's face, and the Rushing Stream Spear in his palm emitted endless dark blue light.

An eternal, desolate, and terrifying aura, seemingly passed down from the endless ages, revived. An extremely cold aura spread out, and Shen Mu's world projection instantly became even more terrifying, with endless blizzards raging and surging.

"No, this can't be... this aura!"

"You, you possess a priceless treasure!"

The Kong clan's desire to be enfeoffed as king was utterly shattered.

This is a legendary treasure!

Let alone the fact that this Silver Sand King is only at the peak of the King-Sealing stage, even if he were at the limit of the King-Sealing stage, he shouldn't have such a powerful treasure on him!

"You think you have the ability to fight me?"

Shen Mu's voice rang out, and at that moment, endless blizzards gathered, transforming into millions of jade dragons that crashed down!

boom!

The power of extreme cold and destruction erupted, and a million jade dragons roared. In an instant, it seemed as if time and space had frozen.

"It is your honor to die by my self-created secret technique."

Shen Mu named this shot "Jade Dragon".

Although it is only in its initial stage, the power of this secret technique is already quite remarkable.

"Now, shouldn't Master Ice Peak be able to give me some pointers?"

……

Virtual universe, Thunder Island.

At the summit of the central mountain range of Thunder Island, Shen Mu appeared out of thin air inside the Ice Mountain Palace and went straight there to pay his respects.

Deep within the Ice Mountain Palace, on an icy plain, a figure clad in ancient battle armor was deep in thought.

"Teacher," Shen Mu bowed respectfully.

The Lord of Ice Peaks' gaze fell upon Shen Mu.

"I heard from your senior sister that you were trying to create your own secret technique. Show me how you do it."

Shen Mu nodded slightly and said, "Yes, teacher."

As soon as the words fell, the entire space-time of the Iceberg Palace transformed into an endless, desolate starry sky.

Shen Mu stopped wasting words and once again displayed the spear technique he had created.

A spear thrust out, its cold, eerie light flashing.

There were no unusual phenomena, no blizzards, and all the mysteries were merged into one.

Space shattered and exploded under this shot, turning into an endless stream of particles, like a blizzard sweeping across the sky.

The Lord of Ice Peaks was slightly surprised.

With his insightful perspective, how could he not see the secret behind this shot?

"Very good. What's the name of this shot?"

Shen Mu sheathed his gun and respectfully said, "Jade Dragon."

"Dragon?" The Lord of Ice Peaks was somewhat surprised, as he had not seen any secret characteristics of dragon-like life forms in this shot.

Shen Mu explained, "In my hometown, snowflakes have another name: Jade Dragon."

There is another line of poetry: "Three million jade dragons soar up, stirring up the heavens in icy cold."

"I see." The Lord of Ice Peak nodded slightly.

"From now on, you'll practice your secret techniques in the virtual universe."

"Based on your progress and weaknesses in creating secret techniques, your master will simulate suitable opponents for you in this virtual universe."

Shen Mu nodded slightly, then said, "Thank you, teacher. There is one more thing I would like to ask you to point out."

"Speak." The Lord of Ice Peaks never wasted words.

Shen Mu bowed slightly and said, "This disciple intends to use the quota solidified by the Realm Lord-level secret technique, but I am troubled by not knowing how to choose the secret technique, so I ask for your guidance, Master."

During this time, the clan provided Shen Mu with various powerful secret techniques, causing Shen Mu to suffer from decision paralysis.

In fact, Shen Mu did have some favorite secret techniques. For example, the secret technique that could weaken material attacks by ten thousand times would be the best secret technique.

With the addition of top-tier defensive treasures, Shen Mu's physical defense will be maxed out.

Brothers, it's not that the author is experiencing writer's block, it's that the author doesn't know what secret method to use. If any brothers have ideas, please comment so I can copy them.
