Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 161 The Arrival of the Primal Star

Luo Feng expressed his admiration for Shen Mu's clever maneuvering.

"So, does that mean the Yan God Clan is one of us now?" Luo Feng couldn't help but sigh.

Suddenly, Luo Feng remembered his purpose in coming to the Yan Shen Clan, and the smile on his face froze.

"Senior brother, what should I do with my Calamity Armor?"

Since Shen Mu has suppressed the Yan Emperor, the Yan Emperor certainly won't obediently hand over the Calamity Armor.

The life imprint left in the treasure can only be erased by killing the Yan Emperor directly.

Shen Mu also realized the problem: "This is indeed a troublesome matter..."

Not only the Calamity Armor, but also the Flame God Halberd, the iconic weapon of the Flame Emperor, would make it impossible for him to maintain his facade as the Flame Emperor.

"Forget it, let's go back first and then talk about it. Let's suppress the Flame Emperor in the miniature universe of the Giant Axe Founder."

"We'll see if we can force Emperor Yan to hand over the treasure, but the chances are probably slim."

If it weren't for the Mountain Guest asking Shen Mu to spare Emperor Yan's life, there wouldn't have been this trouble.

Luo Feng said helplessly, "I wish I had known that Senior Brother would have made his move later."

Shen Mu had indeed not considered this aspect.

"How about we ask Master Zuoshanke to forge you a similar treasure to the Calamity Armor?"

Luo Feng shook his head helplessly: "It's not that easy. According to my teacher, I need to kill a Universe Venerable before I can refine a top-tier treasure..."

The requirements that Zuo Shan Ke gave to Luo Feng were similar to those given to Shen Mu.

Killing a Cosmic Venerable grants a top-tier treasure, while killing 10 Cosmic Venerables or Cosmic Overlords grants a supreme treasure.

However, the Cosmic Venerables are not so easy to kill. Once they reach this level, their ability to escape is first-rate.

Even if you can't beat them, it's very difficult to kill them if they want to escape.

If Shen Mu hadn't possessed the secret art of willpower, he wouldn't have been able to achieve such brilliant results.

Although Luo Feng's Nether Sea clone evolved to the level of ten thousand times the gene under the effect of the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, its actual combat power is basically negligible.

Because the main body of the Nether Sea Avatar cannot be deployed, the small Nether Sea Avatar created is only equivalent to ten times the genes of a Universe Venerable, and it has not yet cultivated the Amplification Secret Technique.

Therefore, Luo Feng's main battle clone is still the Golden Horned Beast, with over 5,000 times the genetic strength and 90 times the final divine body amplitude. If it weren't for his poor secret techniques, he would definitely be considered a high-level Venerable.

Without the boost from the Armor of Calamity, it would be very difficult to achieve brilliant results in the Primal Star!

After thinking for a moment, Luo Feng shook his head helplessly: "Let's talk about it when we get back."

Both Shen Mu and Luo Feng's soul servants left their divine power coordinates at the headquarters of the Giant Axe Martial Arts Arena, which can be directly reached by using the Divine Kingdom Teleportation.

……

The Giant Axe Universe, the deepest part of the rugged ancient city.

This is the origin plane of a miniature universe. When Shen Mu was comprehending the secret technique, his original human form was transferred here.

At this moment, Shen Mu, Luo Feng, and the founder of the Giant Axe stood in front of a 'galaxy'.

What are called galaxies are actually endless points of light, each containing immense divine power.

These points of light operate according to some mysterious law, as if expounding some supreme truth.

This supreme truth is actually the fundamental mystery of the universe, but ordinary true gods cannot yet grasp the profound principles that transcend laws.

"Is this the origin of miniature universes?"

Luo Feng looked at the small universe origin in front of him and felt a sense of familiarity. It was very similar to the scene he saw when the original universe bestowed upon him the secret technique.

However, the original plane of the primordial universe is even more magnificent, seemingly boundless.

The origin of the small universe of the Giant Axe Founder is like a miniature 'galaxy'.

"Hunyuan, throw the Ice Mountain Palace into my cosmic origin, and then release the Flame Emperor directly."

The savage giant stood beside Shen Mu and patted him on the shoulder.

Upon hearing this, Shen Mu's palm flashed with spiritual light, and a delicate ice sculpture 'small mountain' appeared, which he then placed directly into the origin of the universe.

Boom!

"Human race, you dare to plot against me!"

With a roar, the figure of the Flame Emperor appeared.

Before he could even unleash his power, he felt immense pressure, so much so that Emperor Yan couldn't mobilize even a trace of divine power.

If the creator of the giant axe so desired, he could directly suppress and annihilate the divine body of the Flame Emperor through a miniature universe.

Shen Mu turned to look at the founder of the giant axe: "Giant Axe, relax your pressure a little, I need to talk to him."

Under the suppression of the Giant Axe Founder, the Flame Emperor was in a state as if time had stopped; apart from his thoughts and consciousness, everything was frozen in place.

This situation is similar to that of the progenitors who were suppressed by the primordial universe.

However, the original ancestor was better off because of the existence of a virtual universe, which allowed it to communicate with the outside world.

As the founder of the giant axe released the suppression, Emperor Yan began cursing and swearing once again.

"Humans, you promised my teacher you wouldn't attack me again. Now you've gone back on your word. Aren't you afraid of angering my teacher?"

Emperor Yan also knew that he now only had one option: to take up the banner of the Mountain-Sitting Guest.

Shen Mu snorted coldly: "Second Senior Brother, do you think I would act without consulting Teacher?"

"teacher?"

Emperor Yan was somewhat surprised. He looked at Luo Feng beside him, and then at Shen Mu.

A smile appeared on Shen Mu's face: "The Silver Sand King you were looking for back then was me, possessing the strongest talents of both the Yan God Clan and Earthlings."

"It was you! You despicable creature..."

Before Emperor Yan could finish speaking, he was directly struck by Shen Mu's will, which blasted his mind into a standstill, and it took him a long time to recover.

As soon as he recovered, Yan Di saw that Shen Mu's face had turned cold.

"Hmph, Second Senior Brother, I didn't want to fight you, but you coveted the Tribulation Armor of my Earthling lineage. Is that your treasure?"

"Since you disregard the bonds of kinship, then don't blame me and Junior Brother Luo Feng for being equally ruthless."

"Anyway, the teacher has already said that he has given up on you. Protecting you once was already more than enough."

At this point, Shen Mu changed the subject: "As the strongest being in the universe, Giant Axe will naturally not kill you personally, but the Lord of Chaos City is already on his way."

"Once the Lord of Chaos City arrives, we will immediately obliterate your divine body, causing your demise here!"

Upon hearing Shen Mu's words, a smug smile suddenly appeared on Emperor Yan's face.

"It seems my two junior brothers don't dare to kill me."

"If you really wanted to kill me, you wouldn't be dragging your feet like this."

"You want the Armor of the Thieves, huh? Let me go now, or you'll either kill me or you'll never get it!"

Although Emperor Yan is despicable and impulsive, it doesn't mean he's a fool.

If Shen Mu really intended to kill him, he wouldn't have said so much.

After saying all that, the bottom line is still that I want his armor.

The founder of the giant axe shook his head slightly. After learning the whole situation at the beginning, he felt that Shen Mu would not succeed.

No matter what Shen Mu says, the moment he opens his mouth, it means he has ulterior motives.

If Emperor Yan weren't stupid, he would have guessed that Shen Mu wouldn't actually kill him.

Seeing this, the coldness on Shen Mu's face disappeared, and he returned to his normal state.

"Junior brother, we don't need the armor."

"I still have one more chance to customize a treasure with my teacher. I'll have him forge a suit of armor for you."

"As for Emperor Yan..."

Shen Mu paused, then looked at the creator of the giant axe: "Please, giant axe, completely suppress him, and strip him of all his senses as well!"

Upon hearing this, the founder of the giant axe slightly raised his hand.

Then they saw that the figure of the Flame Emperor was completely submerged in the origin of the miniature universe.

Even with all senses completely stripped away, consciousness and thought can still function normally. Shen Mu wanted to see how long this Yan Emperor could last.

The greatest torment to a person's will is not pain or extreme emotions.

Rather, the most basic sensory deprivation, in the chaos of having no time, no perception, and no response, is the greatest torment to the soul.

At this moment, Luo Feng looked at Shen Mu expectantly and said, "Senior brother, are you really willing to change this opportunity to customize a treasure into a custom-made armor?"

"I plan to ask my teacher to forge me a supreme treasure for soul attack; it would be a waste to only order one armor."

The value of the most powerful and precious treasures transcends all else.

Even ten or a hundred top-grade treasures cannot be exchanged for one supreme treasure.

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng nodded helplessly: "Then let's forget about it. Soul attack-type supreme treasures are too precious. Even the supreme treasure armor can't compare."

"Shen Mu...you can have the Mountain Hermit refine the most powerful treasure?"

An excited look appeared on the savage man's face, and even his voice trembled slightly.

The founder of the Giant Axe truly needs an ultimate treasure axe. If he had such an axe, he could become a first-order being in the cosmic sea.

Among the countless True Gods in the cosmic sea, the strongest are all Ninth-Order True Gods.

However, these ninth-order true gods almost all rely on supreme treasures to achieve combat power comparable to the ninth-order, with only a very few having created their own top-tier ninth-order secret techniques.

Shen Mu didn't hide anything: "That's right. When I was in the Immortal Realm, Master Zuoshanke promised me that as long as I could kill the Overlord of the Universe, he would refine the most powerful treasure for me."

"However, after I exposed the secret technique of will, this promise became invalid. Even after I suppressed Sirius, Master Zuoshanke refused to refine any more treasures for me."

The founder of the giant axe sighed and said, "I see."

Shen Mu thought for a moment and said, "If there is an opportunity in the future, I will try to persuade Master Zuoshanke to forge a suitable treasure for you, Giant Axe."

The founder of the giant axe didn't stand on ceremony and looked at Shen Mu very solemnly: "If possible, then please do it, but of course, there's no need to insist."

"no problem."

Shen Mu readily agreed, and then said, "When I suppressed the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf, the clan allowed me to choose any top-tier treasure."

"Let's give this opportunity to Junior Brother Luo Feng. He plans to venture into the Primordial Star, which will be a good opportunity for him to improve his strength."

The founder of the giant axe would naturally not refuse. Although the race did not have treasures like the Armor of Calamity that could directly enhance divine power, there were many supreme treasures that could temporarily boost combat power.

With such a treasure, Luo Feng still has the ability to protect himself on the Primordial Star.

……

Ten years is but a blink of an eye for beings at the level of cosmic sages.

In the vast universe, there is a starry sky about 10 billion light-years away from human territory.

There are no celestial bodies or secret realms in this starry sky, only gusts of storms formed by electromagnetic fluids.

Boom!

A series of loud roars echoed, and then a figure in white appeared.

If other powerful beings in the universe were present, they would surely recognize that this person is none other than the "Hun Yuan Venerable" of the human race, a prodigy once known as the Young Venerable.

Shen Mu was dressed very modestly. His armor was just a top-tier treasure, and he carried a Jade Ze longsword on his back, which was the Jade God Sword that Shen Mu had been studying the secret runes of, but it was just an ordinary treasure.

For a cosmic overlord, this configuration is already quite luxurious.

Besides that, the most precious thing Shen Mu possesses is probably the 'Ice Mountain Palace' he borrowed from his teacher, the Lord of Ice Peak.

"My divine body is still too small."

The Earthling's true form laughing made Shen Mu feel very insecure.

In fact, for the vast majority of cosmic beings in the human race, their divine bodies are generally between three and ten meters tall, with only a very few large-sized races possessing divine bodies that are tens or even hundreds of meters tall.

"I wonder which unlucky cosmic ruler will be kidnapped and brought back to the human race this time."

Shen Mu looked toward the entrance to the primordial star, where he saw a huge vortex amidst the electromagnetic fluid storms.

The vortex was about 10 billion kilometers in diameter, constantly emitting endless, dazzling, and colorful light, which completely distorted the surrounding space.

The oppressive force generated by this vortex channel alone is enough to annihilate some ordinary immortal gods.

On the Primordial Star, Shen Mu only intended to demonstrate the combat power of an ordinary universe master by relying on the Nine Spirits Secret Technique.

Willpower-based secret techniques will only be considered when encountering a cosmic ruler who has no clones.

The next instant, Shen Mu's figure vanished from his spot and reappeared beneath the primordial star passage, then took a step out.

……

On the vast wilderness, Shen Mu transformed into a streak of light and slowly flew by.

An immense pressure filled the primordial star, causing spacetime to tremble and become incredibly solid, without producing even the slightest fluctuation.

Therefore, teleportation and divine kingdom teleportation are almost impossible to use on the original planet. Even the Lord of the Universe can only travel slowly by flying.

Just then, an ancient and profound aura instantly spread out from Shen Mu's right front, permeating the vast surrounding territory.

Shen Mu's gaze immediately turned to them.

"This fluctuation indicates that a great treasure has been born."

On the original planet, very few supreme treasures are born; almost all are minor treasures.

Even when a treasure is born, it is usually an ordinary treasure, and it is rare for a high-level treasure or even a top-level treasure to be born.

Under normal circumstances, if a supreme treasure is born on a primordial planet, it will inevitably attract the descent of the Lord of the Universe.

For Shen Mu, the treasure was basically meaningless.

But eventually, he had to find an opportunity to show his strength, and he just happened to come across it.

"I wonder if we'll run into people from the three major hostile races, such as the demon race. If we do, then you're out of luck."

call out!

The speed of the light that Shen Mu transformed into instantly increased dramatically, and then it flew towards the source of that special aura.
