Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 140 The Ninth Evolution, Achieving Perfect Genes!

"You want World Lord-level Royal Sea Gene Materials?"

The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds looked Shen Mu up and down, quite intrigued.

Even within the Ancestral God Sect, only those at the same level as the Guardian God Lords have truly entered his Nine Netherworld Space and know that he has nurtured 108 descendants.

However, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds was too lazy to delve into the source of Shen Mu's information.

"Yes, I wish to create Huang Hai as my own clone."

Shen Mu did not hide his thoughts: Huang Hai's genetic materials had virtually no value other than the ability to create clones.

After a moment's thought, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds said, "Alright, I agree. From today onwards, you, King Silver Sand, will be the protector of the Nine Netherworlds, an outer organization of the Ancestral God Sect."

After he finished speaking, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds waved his hand, and a black token immediately appeared out of thin air in front of Shen Mu.

Shen Mu reached out and took it. The black token was heavy and slightly cool to the touch. Two characters were engraved on it with a mysterious pattern.

This script is also the exclusive script of the Ancestral God Religion. No matter what living being sees it, they will know that the two characters mean "Ancestral God".

"By imprinting your spiritual mark on this Ancestral God Token, I can become a member of my Ancestral God Cult!"

The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds looked down at Shen Mu and explained, "Through this Ancestral God Token, one can contact many powerful figures within the Ancestral God Sect."

"Furthermore, missions issued within the Ancestral God Cult are also disseminated through this Ancestral God Token. As long as you are within the scope of this primordial universe, you can contact others through the Ancestral God Token. Do not lose it!"

After finishing his business, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds waved his hand, and a mass of blood-red seawater appeared out of thin air.

"This is the seawater of the Lord-level Imperial Sea that you requested. It is for your exclusive use only and may not be given to anyone else."

Shen Mu readily agreed to this request.

Having achieved his goal, Shen Mu did not linger any longer and respectfully bid farewell to the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.

The reason why the Yellow Water of the Imperial Sea was sent away so easily is that the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds is not worried at all about the emergence of a second Nine Netherworld Sea in the future universe.

Because the upper limit of a World Lord-level Emperor Sea is actually not high. Apart from its size, it is not even in the same league as a special life form that defies the heavens.

The life gene level of Emperor Hai, a Realm Lord, is only about three hundred times higher. How can he compare to the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, whose life gene level is over nine thousand times higher and who is a born Universe Venerable?

Genetic levels can indeed be improved through training, and once one reaches the level of a Universe Master, the hundredfold genetic limitation no longer exists.

However, a problem arises: with such a massive size as Huanghai, the resources required to increase gene multiplication are probably beyond the reach of the entire human race and the entire Hongmeng.

Take Blood Crystal as an example.

Ordinary humans only need to fuse 100 to achieve a hundredfold increase in genes, while the Golden Horned Beast can only increase its life genes by 10 times even after fusing 100.

Other resources for enhancing genes are similar; the larger the body size, the more resources are needed.

For a divine body at the Light Age to upgrade its genetic level, the resources required would be astronomical.

Therefore, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds was not particularly vigilant about Huang Hai's genetic materials, and thus did not make things difficult for Luo Feng in the original story.

The same principle applies to Shen Mu.

……

Zijing Island, Shen Mu's residence.

In a secluded room, Shen Mu sat cross-legged, his consciousness immersed in his inner world.

A moment later, Shen Mu opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his face.

"Everything went smoothly. The Blood Sea Avatar will take about three hundred years to develop."

Taking advantage of these three hundred years, Shen Mu plans to focus all his efforts on the genetic evolution of the Yan God Clan clone.

Ideally, the genes of the Flame God Clan clone should evolve to perfection before achieving immortality.

Boom!

A booming sound erupted from within the body of the Flame God Clan clone.

Fine golden patterns appeared on the skin of the Flame God Clan, glowing and radiating an ancient and eternal aura.

Those layers of golden patterns seemed to be alive, constantly spreading and evolving, as if imitating the workings of the universe.

As Shen Mu began to drive the genetic evolution of the Yan God Clan, brand-new golden runes spread from the surface of the Yan God Clan clones.

When Shen Mu completed his seventh evolution, he could feel that the burden on his will had not yet reached its limit.

However, Shen Mu was too lazy to continue pushing the limits of his will and undergo his eighth evolution.

Anyway, a gene level of 9800 times is enough. Generally, those peak universe masters who claim to have ten thousand times the gene level are actually only at a gene level of nine thousand times. Very few people actually pursue ten thousand times.

The main reason is that it's unnecessary. At this level, a gene level several hundred times higher has a negligible impact on combat power. Moreover, the higher the gene level, the more difficult it becomes to improve, making it a losing proposition.

Boom!

Another roar resounded within Shen Mu's body, and the eighth genetic evolution officially began.

The initial gene strength surged from 192 times, and in just a moment, it increased to 384 times, completing the eighth evolution.

"Amplitude, open!"

With a thought, Shen Mu unleashed the full power of Bloodlust and the Amplification Secret Technique, instantly surpassing the threshold of ten thousand times the power of a Realm Lord.

"It's about 10050 times the power of a World Lord, but the effect of this gene amplitude is getting weaker and weaker."

When the fourth evolution was completed, the increase in the power of Blood Luo was still hovering around fifty times, but now it has directly weakened to 26 times.

However, Shen Mu had already prepared himself for this, since Luo Feng in the original work also cultivated the complete Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, which allowed the Earthlings' bodies to evolve to perfect genes.

"There are still three hundred years left. Even if I have to tough it out, I have to survive until the ninth evolution."

After resting for a while, Shen Mu began his ninth evolution.

The evolutionary secrets of the Flame God Clan are essentially about using death signals to deceive genes and then initiating evolution.

This process requires fighting against the survival instinct that comes with life.

The higher the level and realm, the more intense the impact of the survival instinct becomes, and the greater the burden on the will. This is why evolution becomes more difficult at later stages.

The only certainty is that even the Flame Emperor's life genes were not ten thousand times greater than those of the Lord of the Universe.

This means that even the Yan Emperor, at the level of a cosmic sovereign, had only completed seven evolutions.

Meanwhile, countless light-years away, on the other side of the Milky Way, lies the Mysterious Realm of Yan.

In the endless void, three vast and expansive landmasses float. The smallest of these three continents has a diameter exceeding one light-year, while the largest has a diameter of three light-years.

These three continents encircle each other, and in the very center of the void, there floats a palace complex composed of countless extremely magnificent palaces, surrounded by endless flames.

Flames of various colors—black, purple, white, blue—swirled around. Immortal warriors walked through the palace complex, their eyes filled with fervor and worship as they occasionally glanced at the central main hall.

Because they live in a secret realm of the universe, the number of cosmic venerables among the Yan God Clan is very small.

The few Venerables of the Flame God Clan all broke through to higher realms when the Flame God Clan was still a member of the human race. Life forms in the secret realm are inherently deficient, and even the Flame God Clan is subject to this limitation.

Similar to the Starry Sky Beast lineage, to avoid this situation, they randomly throw their offspring into various corners of the primordial universe to be born.

"What did you say?!"

An astonishing pressure swept out from the central temple of the Yan Shen Clan's secret realm, instantly enveloping the entire palace complex.

The feeling that life and death were beyond their control terrified everyone, and they all looked up at the most magnificent temple in the center, their eyes filled with fear and worship.

Inside the palace, Venerable Ice Deuterium knelt tremblingly on the ground.

"Your Majesty, it has been confirmed that the Silver Sand King of that human race does indeed have a life gene level of 9800 times."

On the throne, Emperor Yan's expression was somewhat ferocious. His enormous and towering figure exuded a strong sense of oppression, and his eyes beneath the single horn on his forehead were incredibly cold.

"Kill him! He must be killed!"

As the Flame Emperor roared in fury, a terrifying pressure shook space and time, and the entire Flame Mystic Realm seemed to tremble in fear.

……

Ancestral Mystic Realm, Purple Thorn Island.

Time passed day by day, and more than two hundred years went by in the blink of an eye.

The controversy surrounding Shen Mu's exposure of his identity as a realm master has subsided with the passage of time.

But beneath this seemingly calm surface lies endless danger.

Whether it's the demon race, the mechanical race, or the insect race, none of them want the human race to have another being at the level of the three top overlords.

Especially considering that this Silver Sand King is so extraordinary, possessing the level of law mastery of a Universe Venerable while only at the World Lord level, it is simply too astonishing.

Moreover, after confirmation from these three major races, it was found that the Silver Sand King had made significant achievements in the realm of the soul, and during the battle at the Star Tower, his willpower was at least at the level of a Universe Venerable.

This is even more incredible. Whether it's laws, will, or secret techniques, the Silver Sand King can be considered the most powerful realm lord in the history of the universe.

Although becoming the master of the universe is extremely difficult, once you reach this level, talent can no longer determine everything, and no one can be certain that a certain life form will definitely become the master of the universe.

However, an existence like the Silver Sand King clearly has a very high probability of breaking through to the level of a universe master.

Once the Silver Sand King breaks through, he will at least be at the level of a peak Universe Lord, and may even become a powerhouse comparable to the Chaos City Lord.

Therefore, the three major groups reached a consensus that this child must not be kept.

"Boom!"

A tremendous roar suddenly resounded over Zijing Island.

Instantly, it attracted the attention of countless powerful figures, who all turned their gazes toward the mountain and water manor.

That is the source of the disturbance, the residence of the Silver Sand King.

The next instant, the figure of the Silver Sand King appeared out of thin air in mid-air.

A very special aura burst forth from the Silver Sand King.

"Perfect genes, finally achieved!"

Shen Mu's eyes shone brightly. With the completion of the ninth evolution, the Yan God Clan clone finally reached the point of perfect genes.

The moment the genetic evolution was completed, the most fundamental structure within the Yan Shen Clan's clone began to undergo astonishing changes.

As changes continued to occur, every inch of the Flame God Clan's avatar's skin, every muscle and bone seemed to have become the most perfect work of art in the universe.

"call!"

The invisible cosmic energy between heaven and earth began to converge, forming a funnel-shaped vortex visible to the naked eye, which poured into the body of the Flame God Clan avatar.

During this process, the height of the Flame God Clan clone continued to increase, and its body rapidly expanded.

In the blink of an eye, its height increased to several thousand meters, and it is still growing at an alarming rate.

"Too slow!"

"Fortunately, I had prepared in advance."

Four beams of spiritual light emanated from the palm of the Flame God Clan clone, and four pitch-black world rings floated around him.

Within each world ring are celestial-level mountain ranges formed by countless cosmic crystals, radiating endless and intense energy fluctuations.

"boom!"

In the next instant, the cosmic crystal mountain ranges burst into flames, transforming into endless cosmic primordial power that surged forth from the world ring and rushed towards Shen Mu.

The avatar of the Flame God Clan continuously absorbed endless energy, and its body continued to grow larger.

With a massive energy supply, the body of the Flame God Clan clone expanded exponentially, growing to tens of thousands of kilometers in the blink of an eye.

"What is the Silver Sand King doing?!"

"It seems like... I've broken through, but why hasn't the Sea of ​​Primal Laws descended?"

suddenly--

Without warning, a figure nearly ten meters tall appeared in front of Shen Mu, emanating an incredibly terrifying pressure.

The Demon Clan Alliance, Venerable Yaohua, a cosmic overlord-level existence.

What came this time was only his clone; his true form was a giant beast with a horn that was a thousand kilometers long.

Having finally witnessed the appearance of the Silver Sand King, who appears to be undergoing a breakthrough, Venerable Yaohua certainly wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by.

"You dare!"

Two figures suddenly appeared next to Shen Mu's residence.

One of them was Venerable Jiufeng, who was entrusted by the Lord of Chaos City to take care of Shen Mu within the Ancestral God Sect.

Especially after Shen Mu revealed that he was the Realm Lord, they chose to move directly to the vicinity of Shen Mu's residence.

The other figure was the Four Divine Generals, the strongest members of the Hong Alliance within the Ancestral God Sect, who also sat beside Shen Mu. Their main reason was to cultivate a good relationship with Shen Mu, given his potential.

"Too late!"

Venerable Yaohua reached out towards Shen Mu, and at the same time, an incomparably powerful ethereal divine power burst forth, directly approaching Shen Mu's sea of ​​consciousness.

Having chosen to make a move, Venerable Yaohua's speed was naturally incredibly fast; he had to succeed before the Five-Colored Aurora Lake could react.

Although the Four Divine Generals are beings comparable to the Lord of the Universe, they are ultimately not the true Lord of the Universe and cannot control space and time, so they cannot stop him at all.

hum!

Suddenly, an incredible force descended upon the entire Purple Thorn Island, and at that moment, the entire island froze in place.

Whether it was Venerable Yaohua who assassinated Shen Mu, or the Four Divine Generals and Venerable Jiufeng, all three figures were frozen in mid-air.

At the heart of the Ancestral God Cult, everything on the entire Purple Thorn Island was frozen in time.

This was an incredibly domineering freeze of time, freezing even the will and thoughts of the powerful, and no one could even perceive what was happening.

An absolutely majestic power descended upon Shen Mu, a feeling very similar to the mysterious power he experienced when receiving the inheritance of the Beast God.

Shen Mu's consciousness, along with this mysterious power, entered a mysterious space.

This is a mysterious space filled with countless points of light. Each point of light seems to contain boundless power, and the powerful pressure it exudes is no weaker than that of a cosmic lord.
