Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 144 The Sixth Evolution: The Heaven-Defying Law Talent of a Born Beast God!

"Light Leap... Mind Thunder Secret Technique, it's a difficult choice."

This leap of light seems even more incredible, but the claim of leaping without regard to any restrictions or blockades is likely exaggerated.

It should be able to instantly teleport, ignoring blockades of the same or one or two levels higher.

For example, the strongest being in the universe can use this leap of light to escape from the Void God's "One Thought Creates the Void," and so on.

It's not impossible to escape from the Eternal God's "One Thought Creates the Universe," but that's absolutely the limit.

However, the Mind Thunder Secret Technique also seems to be very powerful. It can concentrate the will into mental thunder, instantly doubling the intensity of the will, and then suddenly unleashing a powerful impact of will.

Overall, the effect is nowhere near as powerful as Light Leap, which can be described as a "low-budget version of Boundary Transmission".

But the information that Shen Mu was most concerned about was whether the effects of the Heart Thunder talent and the effects of willpower-type secret arts would stack or overlap.

"If they overlap, then this is just a common secret technique for using willpower, which can be obtained in the Jin world in the future."

"But if we add them together, it would mean that my willpower is inherently twice as strong as that of an existence at the same level."

Shen Mu considered the matter for about three or four minutes before finally making a decision.

The most powerful ability of this Light Leap is to escape, but it's pointless for Shen Mu to keep thinking about escaping after finally getting through his weak period.

In the not-too-distant future, as long as Shen Mu becomes a Universe Venerable, and with the supreme treasures refined by Master Zuoshanke, he will be virtually safe in the Primordial Universe.

As for becoming the Lord of the Universe... Luo Feng was able to achieve invincibility in the Universe Sea at the Lord of the Universe realm, and he has an even greater cheat code, so why can't he?

But if you switch to the Mind Thunder Secret Technique, it's a different story; it's purely enhancing Shen Mu's combat power.

After Shen Mu broke through to immortality, the strength of his soul and consciousness surged, and his will is now considered to be at an ordinary level even among the lords of the universe.

This is because he has just broken through. With further refinement of his will and mindset, he will definitely possess the willpower strength of a universe master at the Immortal Realm.

What does this mean? It means that once Shen Mu's will strikes, even a newly ascended Universe Lord would be stunned for two seconds.

"Confirmed as a solidified secret technique, the Mind Thunder Secret Art!"

As soon as Shen Mu had a thought, a booming sound echoed in his consciousness.

At this moment, the five divine bodies—the Earth Main Body, the Flame God Clan Avatar, the World Tree Avatar, the Blood Sea Avatar, and the Azure Dragon Avatar—all unleashed an incomparably domineering and powerful pressure.

After Shen Mu shattered his original core and achieved immortality, the embodiment of all his innate secret techniques was transferred to his soul, allowing him to freely use them across all five bodies.

This is good news, but it won't be a big boost for Shen Mu, because in his earlier years, Shen Mu had to avoid having only his Azure Dragon clone able to use the secret technique.

The chosen secret techniques are either auxiliary techniques aimed at enhancing talents, or soul-based talent abilities that are originally carried by the soul.

However, it's not entirely useless. For example, the enhanced teleportation allows all five divine bodies to be used.

The limit of teleportation for immortals is generally light-years, while the teleportation of a cosmic lord can easily reach a thousand light-years. However, with the bonus of talent, Shen Mu can now also teleport to a thousand light-years.

……

On Purple Thorn Island.

Boom!

A terrifying roar came from Shen Mu's palace, instantly alarming the many powerful figures surrounding Shen Mu's residence.

During this period, all the powerful figures from the Hongmeng Alliance around Shen Mu's residence received instructions from the Hongmeng Hall.

The most powerful and extraordinary king among humankind, King Silver Sand, will return to the human race within the next century, demanding that all the Venerable Ones of the Hongmeng within the Ancestral God Sect's territory grant him final protection.

shhhhhh!

Beams of divine light shot into the air, and then powerful figures, unleashing the overwhelming pressure of cosmic overlords, emerged.

"The Five-Colored Aurora Lake isn't responding; it seems the Silver Sand King is at it again..."

As Venerable Jiufeng spoke with a smile, before his words had even finished, an incomparably fierce and savage aura emerged from Shenmu Palace.

Boom!

Another booming sound rang out, and all the powerful figures of the Hong Alliance present, even the Four Divine Generals who were comparable to the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master, felt an extremely powerful sense of pressure.

The boundless lightning energy in the world seemed to sense its master at that moment, and frantically converged towards Shen Mu's residence.

In a mere instant, an almost transparent pale purple phantom appeared. It was a giant ape-like phantom with a height of over a million kilometers, surrounded by endless lightning, faintly forming a universe of lightning.

"The First, the First Beast God!"

The many Venerables of the Hong Alliance recognized the origin of this phantom, after all, there were carvings of the eight innate beast gods on the island lord's palace.

"Strange, why is it the Thunder Beast God? Didn't the Silver Sand King cultivate the Water-Void Fusion Law?" someone asked in confusion.

The next instant, the illusory phantom of the beast god slowly opened its eyes, its almost transparent eyes seeming to gleam with life.

The moment their gazes met those of the Beast God's phantom, the Venerable Ones of the Hongmeng were stunned, their minds going blank and their expressions blank.

"hold head high!"

A resounding dragon's roar awakened the group of Hongmeng Venerables whose minds had gone blank, and then they saw the azure dragon that was over ten thousand miles long.

Back when Shen Mu (Silver Sand King) broke through to immortality, they saw this strange dragon-like life form undergo the baptism of the ocean of primordial laws together with Silver Sand King, condensing their divine bodies.

It's easy to guess that this Azure Dragon is also an avatar of the Silver Sand King.

Logically speaking, neither human life nor the Yan God Clan has the ability to create clones, so they naturally assumed that the Silver Sand King possessed a Azure Dragon with the ability to create clones, and then conceived the Yan God Clan clones.

Boom!

Terrifying gray-white lightning burst forth from the Azure Dragon clone, with clouds and lightning converging and intertwining around it.

Then the enormous phantom of the beast god dissipated, transforming into endless energy that surged into the body of the Azure Dragon clone.

"It's... gotten bigger again?"

A cosmic venerable being couldn't help but speak as he watched the Azure Dragon clone's size explode, growing to 100,000 kilometers in the blink of an eye.

"Two divine bodies, each a hundred thousand kilometers in size!"

It has to be said that these overlords of the Hong Alliance are quite envious. Most races, even if they achieve immortality or even become cosmic venerables, can only travel tens or even hundreds of kilometers.

Among the countless races in the universe, a divine body of this size is not small.

It should be known that the immortal powerhouses of the human race are mostly divine bodies tens or hundreds of meters tall.

After the Azure Dragon clone completed its evolution, it instantly disappeared from the spot.

"I apologize to all seniors. I was in seclusion and just made a breakthrough. I apologize for disturbing you."

Shen Mu's voice came from inside his residence. He was currently immersed in a wonderful state, so he did not come out of seclusion to express his gratitude.

Of course, these Venerable Ones of the Hong Alliance didn't care about this; they were all thinking about how to befriend Shen Mu.

Seeing that Shen Mu was not in danger, they exchanged a few pleasantries with smiles and then went home.

……

Inside the palace, the avatar of the Flame God Clan had his eyes half-closed, experiencing a wondrous state.

This is a state of complete detachment, freedom, and naturalness.

In this state, Shen Mu actually felt the complex fluctuations of the lightning-time fusion law hidden at the bottom of the original universe's origin.

This is incredibly incredible, because both the primordial universe and the smaller universe of the strongest being conceal all complex laws at the very beginning of the universe's birth.

"Is this... the so-called Heart of the Beast God?"

Shen Mu slowly opened his eyes, a faint smile appearing on his face.

Luo Feng spent 180 million years in seclusion to comprehend the Beast God's Heart, and now he has completely grasped it.

However, in the original work, when Luo Feng comprehended the Heart of the Beast God, he was unable to perceive the fluctuations of the Fusion Law hidden in the origin of the universe.

This ability is likely due to his plundering of the Beast God's Law talent. As the embodiment of the Fusion Law, these innate Beast Gods must be able to directly perceive the existence of the Fusion Law.

"The eight naturally born beast gods are truly the darlings of the universe."

It possesses the most powerful law-based talent, the most powerful divine body genes, and a divine body comparable in size to a true star, making it virtually flawless.

Although Shen Mu looked down on many of the eight great beast gods' innate secret techniques, for all other life forms besides Shen Mu, these were all heaven-defying secret techniques.

For example, the Fire Beast God's "Star State" secret technique truly transforms one into an energy-type life form, with the soul becoming a star crystal core, directly immune to soul attacks.

Even the Golden Beast God's "Tear" secret technique, which Shen Mu looked down upon, could still elevate the power of his own created secret techniques by a level.

This is actually quite extraordinary. If it weren't only effective within the cosmic sea, Shen Mu would definitely choose this secret technique.

If the Golden Beast God hadn't died so young, he could have created a top-tier fifth-order secret technique and, with the blessing of his talent, could have rivaled a true god in the primordial universe.

There are many secret techniques to enhance defense, but there are very few secret techniques to enhance attack. This kind of thing is something that breaks through the limits, and it is extremely rare.

The Divine Eye Clan's talent can weaken soul attacks by a hundredfold, but it can only amplify illusion effects by tenfold; it doesn't directly amplify soul attacks. There are no secret techniques in the entire cosmic sea that directly amplify soul attacks.

However, the Golden Beast God's Tear Technique can indirectly amplify soul attacks.

Although the Divine Eye Clan's talents are also extraordinary, their soul attacks are weakened by a hundredfold, and they still have no advantage compared to beings that are directly immune to soul attacks.

Moreover, the innate secret techniques become ineffective after one becomes the strongest in the universe, but a soulless being is also immune to soul attacks once it reaches the level of the strongest in the universe.

This suggests that the Primordial Ancestor was probably not just a tenth-order soul master, but could also suppress a soulless ninth-order true god like the "Skeleton Lord" in terms of material attacks; otherwise, he wouldn't be considered invincible in the Cosmic Sea.

"Let's go. First, I'll receive the inheritance of the Thunder Beast God and see how valuable this innate talent for the laws of the beast god is."

With a thought, Shen Mu's figure vanished from the spot.

……

In the land of inheritance, endless black mist surges.

Boom!

Endless lightning spread through the black mist, transforming once again into the phantom of the beast god in the form of a giant ape.

Upon closer inspection, one can discover that the endless lightning is clearly a light and shadow formed by the interweaving of endless laws and secret patterns.

Within the lightning, Shen Mu's figure slowly floated in mid-air, his consciousness completely immersed in the endless inheritance of the Beast God.

In a short while, he comprehended the first level of the Way of the Beast God.

In just two or three minutes, he comprehended the second level of the Path of the Beast God.

In less than ten minutes, he had comprehended the three levels of the Path of the Beast God.

……

This transmission lasted about half a day, which wasn't very long.

As the inheritance ended, Shen Mu slowly opened his eyes, surrounded by lightning filled with an aura of destruction.

This is a terrifying lightning bolt capable of affecting the flow of time; it is a manifestation that can only occur after merging one's understanding of the laws to the level of a cosmic sage.

"In just half a day, I reached the fourth level of the Path of the Beast God, surpassing my understanding from over a thousand years ago."

Shen Mu gained a direct understanding of the Fusion Law talent of the Innate Beast God. Of course, this was useless to the Innate Beast God, who was born with a complete understanding of the Fusion Law.

"There are still seven chances for inheritance. Let's go all in on the Thunder Time Law."

Shen Mu's original plan was to use these seven opportunities to help all the disciples of the Beast God Path get started, but now it seems unnecessary.

That's a manifestation of encountering a bottleneck, but now the Thunder-Time Fusion Law has no bottleneck for Shen Mu, and he can understand all the principles with just a little comprehension.

Boom!

Shen Mu once again entered the state of passing on the torch.

With seven inheritance opportunities remaining, Shen Mu comprehended the fourth level of the Path of the Beast God when he began his third inheritance.

In just three or four days, after using up all seven inheritances, he had fully comprehended the first five levels of the Path of the Beast God and began to comprehend the sixth level.

For Shen Mu, the greatest hurdle of the Path of the Beast God, the Heart of the Beast God, has already been mastered. Now, he only needs to gradually comprehend it and fully understand the seventh level to become the Lord of the Universe.

However, before that, Shen Mu still needs to thoroughly comprehend the laws of time.

"It could take several thousand years, or at most an entire era, for me to comprehend the laws of time."

Shen Mu was still very confident in himself. If Luo Feng didn't count the 100 million years it took to create the secret technique, it would have taken him about ten eras to comprehend the superior laws.

My talent is much higher than Luo Feng's, so I must be at least ten times faster than Luo Feng, right?

After leaving the place of inheritance, Shen Mu returned to his residence and then logged directly into the virtual universe.

……

Virtual universe, Thunder Island dimension.

Endless thunder roars here, and magnificent palaces stand tall amidst it.

Inside the Ice Mountain Palace, as soon as Shen Mu appeared, he saw the Lord of Ice Peak sitting high on the throne.

"Master, your disciple plans to leave the Ancestral God Sect!"

A faint smile appeared on the Ice Peak Lord's expressionless face: "Rest assured, your master and the strong members of the clan have already arrived in the star field near the Ancestral Secret Manual."

Shen Mu nodded slightly; the clan's efficiency was quite high.

Judging from this posture, it's probably not just about getting me back to human territory, but also about taking this opportunity to show off my muscles and strength.

"Master, I have good news to share. I have chosen to solidify the secret technique of the Thunder Beast God, which is a powerful soul attack ability."

"Of course, he also gained the innate talent of the Beast God's laws, directly comprehending the Heart of the Beast God, and has now become the inheritor of the sixth level of the Thunder Beast God!"
