Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 171 Any Means Required

Controlling space and time, a hallmark of the Lord of the Universe, almost crushes all powerful beings of lower realms.

Even high-level cosmic beings have no ability to resist the control of spacetime by the cosmic master.

Whoosh!

Countless dreamlike ribbons instantly stirred up spacetime within eighty light-years, and in conjunction with the control of spacetime, froze everything.

This is a supreme treasure of the highest grade, the Dream Ancestor Domain. As the most powerful treasure of the Dream Demon Ancestor, its power is among the best of all supreme treasures.

Boom!

A golden alms bowl smashed through layers of space, enveloping the Snow Feather King who was completely suppressed.

It all happened so fast, it was beyond description.

"Success... No, the life force is dissipating, how is this possible!"

Within the divine realm of rock-type life forms, the joy on the face of Changjiu, the strongest among the two true gods of the demon race, suddenly froze.

With the Lord of Changjiu personally taking action and the blessing of the Dream Ancestor Domain, the flow of time was completely frozen. Even a cosmic overlord would be completely suppressed, his divine power solidified, and he would not even be able to self-destruct.

"Oh no, retreat now!"

Meanwhile, in the primordial universe, in the city of chaos!

Boom!

A terrifying surge of will erupted forth, instantly engulfing the entire Chaos City.

Within Chaos City, countless super beings from various human races seemed to witness the scene of endless lightning annihilating the universe, and their consciousness froze for a moment.

"What just happened?"

"What's going on? I was just comprehending the laws when suddenly my consciousness was trapped in an illusion, and I can't escape it at all."

Me too.

"Who dares to cast a large-scale illusion within Chaos City!"

Meanwhile, in Chaos City, in front of an ancient palace, a sinister young man dressed in a set of dark blue scale-like armor came to visit.

The newcomer was none other than Lord Youhou, the youngest cosmic ruler in human history and the eldest disciple of the Lord of Darkness.

At the same time, Lord Youhou was also Shen Mingyue's teacher. After Shen Mingyue completed her Domain Lord level training, he took her as his disciple.

Not only the Lord of Youhou, but also countless divine avatars appeared immediately.

As the highest beings in the human race, they sensed an extremely pure killing intent from the wisp of consciousness pressure that Shen Mu had just released.

Boom!

The ancient palace resounded, and a figure with dragon horns on his forehead and wearing a blue robe with dragon patterns emerged from it, his appearance bearing an 80% resemblance to Shen Mu himself.

"Hunyuan, what happened?"

The voice of the Chaos City Lord came, and then the killing clone of the Chaos City Lord, who had been stationed in Chaos City for many years, also appeared in the scene.

"The moon has fallen; let's revive her first."

Shen Mu's voice was very calm, and his pair of blue dragon eyes were also calm and still, yet they made all the universe lords present feel a chill.

Lord Youhou looked ashamed and said, "Let me do it. It was my fault for not protecting my disciple."

While others were unaware of what had happened, Lord Youhou learned of it almost simultaneously.

Before Shen Mingyue broke through to the Immortal Realm, she possessed the life form 'Feng Hong', which had the ability to create clones, and was able to create two clones.

Shen Mingyue's two clones, one of whom chose to be an Earthling, and the other, at the suggestion of Lord Youhou, chose to be a member of the Mo Hua Spirit Clan.

The Mo Hua Spirit Clan is a special life form that leans towards energy, but it possesses characteristics of plant life.

As a special life form with a peaceful nature, the Mo Hua Spirit Clan possesses an extremely domineering innate secret technique: the Flower of the Soul.

This is an ultimate trump card that annihilates one's own soul and perishes together with the enemy.

As Shen Mu's daughter and the personal disciple of the Lord of Youhou, Shen Mingyue's Mo Hua Spirit Clan avatar and Feng Hong avatar have been cultivating in seclusion under the Lord of Youhou's tutelage.

After discovering the attack by an uncontrollable powerful force, Shen Mingyue's Mo Hua Spirit Clan clone immediately unleashed the Soul Flower, burning away her soul and causing all three of her bodies to perish.

Therefore, the Lord of Youhou knew about Shen Mingyue's accident immediately.

……

The Jade Loss Secret Realm, a tapestry of myriad dust and stars.

Boom!

A terrifying pressure swept across the entire Myriad Dust Star Belt, and a magnificent celestial city seemed to emerge from the void.

Endless celestial light swirled and swept across, directly crushing the divine kingdom passage beside the Lord of Changjiu to dust.

"Changjiu, now that you're here, don't leave."

In the void, Shen Mu's figure suddenly solidified, and with the blessing of the power of the primordial universe, his divine power increased tenfold.

Behind Shen Mu, five pairs of Eternal Wings suddenly unfurled.

The ten-colored radiance swept outwards, overlapping with the celestial light domain of Baiyujing.

Both Bai Yujing's Immortal Light Domain and Eternal Wings' Binding Domain possess power at the level of supreme treasures.

Even if Shen Mu couldn't unleash the true power of the supreme treasure, the combined power of the two domains was still terrifying to an extreme level.

boom!

An invisible thunderous force struck the soul of the Lord of Changjiu!

"Hunyuan!!"

The intense pain in his soul made the Lord of Changjiu's expression somewhat ferocious. Waves of dizziness washed over him, and his control over the Dream Ancestor Domain was no longer perfect. The surrounding Dream Ribbon weakened several times over.

The ten-colored immortal light suddenly surged, directly crushing the Dream Ancestor Domain, which had weakened countless times.

"The most powerful and precious treasure!"

The Lord of Changjiu boasted that Shen Mu could not harm him, but with spacetime sealed off, he could not escape either.

This is the territory of the human race. It is likely that the cosmic lords of other human races are already transiting through divine kingdoms and may descend at any moment.

Boom!

An aura of destruction emanated from the body of the Lord of Changjiu; he dared not delay.

Although the Lord of Changjiu has the ability to create clones, at this moment he has no choice but to self-destruct.

When the powerful members of the human race arrive, they will completely suppress his divine body within the human race's miniature universe, at which point he will essentially lose one of his clones.

In that instant, the Lord of Changjiu's million-mile-tall main battle avatar self-destructed and annihilated.

Endless waves of energy surged outwards in an instant.

In that instant, spacetime became as fragile as a piece of paper, and the power of that moment directly reached the limit that the primordial universe had been bound by.

An ordinary third-order universe lord would perish instantly if he were at the core of this terrifying explosion without the protection of a top-tier treasure palace.

The boundless energy is equivalent to the energy of hundreds of billions of stars merging together and exploding, a quantitative change leading to a qualitative change!

Amidst the terrifying energy storm, Bai Yujing remained unmoved, surrounded by ethereal mist and light, completely unshaken.

Above the Baiyujing Miro Palace, Shen Mu's gaze pierced through the endless light and heat.

As endless energy was released, the entire Jade Loss Secret Realm completely collapsed.

The terrifying aftershocks spread at the speed of light, only dissipating completely after affecting an area of ​​hundreds of millions of light-years, leaving countless lives lost.

As the energy gradually subsided, Shen Mu waved his right hand, drawing four streams of light from the raging energy.

They consist of a colorful ribbon, a golden alms bowl, a suit of dark silver armor, and a unique claw-like weapon.

"Four supreme treasures... not even enough to cover the interest."

Shen Mu turned his head to look in the direction of the demon race's territory.

In the original work, the demon race seems to have been driven out of the demon territory, and then the matter was left unresolved.

Even when Luo Feng finally possessed the ability to destroy a True God's miniature universe, he still couldn't do anything to these top-tier races.

Shen Mu himself was not a person who enjoyed killing.

Under normal circumstances, once Shen Mu rises to power, the final outcome for the demon race will not be worse than in the original story.

"I won't accuse you of using any means necessary, and don't blame me later."

The magnificent celestial palace rapidly shrank and then disappeared into the depths of the void.

Chaos City, Chaos Ruins.

Many great beings of the human race gathered together, but only six or seven of them were the true forms or avatars of the human race; the others were incarnations of divine power and had not yet arrived.

Among the many universe lords, the newly resurrected Shen Mingyue obediently stayed between Shen Mu and the Lord of Youhou, cautiously glancing at one and then at the other.

Whenever Shen Mingyue looked over, those great beings would return her with a kind smile.

"Shen Mu, you made contributions to the clan and suppressed two demon clan universe lords, which is why Xiao Mingyue brought about her death."

The Lord of Chaos City spoke, glancing around at everyone before his gaze fell on Shen Mingyue, and finally on Shen Mu.

"These two cosmic lords are now yours to deal with."

The Chaos City Lord's meaning was simple: if Shen Mu intended to kill these two universe lords, the human race would not object.

Originally, it was all thanks to Shen Mu that these two cosmic masters were able to be captured alive.

The strongest members of the human race, such as the Lord of Penggong, the Lord of Darkness, and the Lord of Void Gold, as well as the leaders of the five major powers, all looked at Shen Mu.

They didn't actually want Shen Mu to kill the two demon race universe lords because of this.

Because the inevitable outcome would be a decisive battle between clans, which would only benefit other top clans, they all hesitated to speak.

"There's no need to hesitate. Whatever choice you make, the community will support you."

A rough voice suddenly rang out, and a burly, wild man with messy hair appeared beside Shen Mu, patting Shen Mu's shoulder in a nonchalant manner.

"Giant Axe!"

"The giant axe is here."

The founder of the giant axe nodded slightly, then looked at Shen Mu without saying anything more.

Shen Mu shook his head slightly: "Being swayed by emotions in making choices is not in my nature."

As he spoke, Shen Mu raised his hand and touched Shen Mingyue's hair. The usually somewhat arrogant girl was now obedient and didn't dare to voice any objections.

Shen Mingyue has a rather arrogant personality and, in most cases, does not respect her father.

However, whenever something important happens, Shen Mingyue always asks Shen Mu for his opinion first.

"My daughter is of noble birth, how can her life be threatened so easily? The lives of those two beasts of the demon race are not enough to atone for their sins."

"Let's just keep those two demon beasts under control. Consider it interest. When I'm stronger in the future, I'll go after the demons and get my money back."

A look of satisfaction appeared in the savage giant's eyes. He patted Shen Mu on the shoulder and said, "I'll go crazy with you then!"

Shen Mu smiled, said nothing, and looked at Shen Mingyue beside him.

"From now on, your true self should not go out. Let your clone go out and change its appearance."

Shen Mingyue nodded obediently: "I understand, Dad. From now on, Feng Hong will be sent out in two separate places."

Among her clones, the Mo Hua Spirit Clan clone is not suitable for going out, mainly because the number of Mo Hua Spirit Clan members in the entire universe is fixed, making it easy to expose her. On the contrary, the Feng Hong clone is suitable for going out.

……

The edge of the demon race's territory, bordering the insect race's territory, lies the Wheel Leaf Demon Kingdom.

The core star region of the Wheel Leaf Demon Kingdom.

This is a gigantic star ring spanning light-years, with countless life-bearing stars scattered throughout like a ring.

At the very center of the ring is a colossal mountain celestial body formed from a precious treasure, the abode of the strongest being in this realm, Venerable Wheel Leaf.

As a powerful figure who guards the frontier star field of his clan, Venerable Ye Lun comes from one of the royal families of the demon race, the Samsara Congyan Serpent clan.

Its own strength is terrifying; it is a cosmic overlord-level existence.

On this day, inside the palace atop the mountain, the enormous Reincarnation Serpent was, as usual, studying its own secret techniques.

Once one reaches the level of Venerable Wheel Leaf, one usually spends his seclusion studying secret techniques and rarely comprehends the laws.

Even if a being at the level of a universe lord were to manifest the complete secrets of the laws of time and space for Venerable Wheel Leaf to comprehend, he would still find that he had completely mastered the changes and mysteries of the two laws, with nothing unknown or incomprehensible.

Once the three profound mysteries are integrated into one, they constitute a complete superior law, and no new mysteries will emerge.

This doesn't test your natural talent for laws, but rather your comprehension and a flash of inspiration.

"After all these years, we still haven't been able to fix this flaw. How can we correct and improve it?"

The Venerable Wheel Leaf was surrounded by surging divine power, which was evolving into a complex secret pattern.

This rune diagram is his strongest secret technique, an ultimate secret technique of a cosmic overlord, and an extremely high-level ultimate secret technique at that.

"Perhaps we could try this kind of evolution."

As endless thoughts surged through Venerable Wheel Leaf's mind, subtle changes occurred in the secret runes before him, as he adjusted the details of his secret technique.

Suddenly, the secret pattern in front of Venerable Wheel Leaf collapsed, his divine power completely subsided, and his expression became blank.

A moment later, Venerable Wheel Leaf's eyes became lively again, and he looked reverently in a certain direction in the void.

Then that feeling of reverence subsided, and Venerable Wheel Leaf continued to refine his secret technique, as if nothing had just happened.

More than half a month later, next to the Wheel Leaf Demon Kingdom, was a country that was much stronger than the Wheel Leaf Demon Kingdom.

The ruler of this kingdom is also a cosmic overlord, and a top-tier cosmic overlord at that, the strongest being in the border region between the entire demon race territory and the insect race territory.

This top cosmic overlord is known as Lord Ziqian and comes from the Ziqian Ten Thousand Serpent Clan.

It is precisely because Lord Ziqian is a top-tier cosmic overlord that the Ziqian Ten Thousand Serpent Clan is the royal family of the demon race, second only to the royal family with a cosmic lord in status.

This is the core of the Demon Kingdom, the core of a palace of supreme treasures.

"Hmph, Mengzu is too biased."

"Even if the Lord of Changjiu is a fifth-tier universe lord, shouldn't there be no accountability for the loss of four supreme treasures?"

"A fifth-tier universe lord, not even a king-level being..."

The lord of the Ziqian, whose body was surrounded by distorted and swirling time, suddenly became dazed, and his entire giant snake went limp.

hum!

A special energy of nine colors spread within the body of Lord Ziqian. This was an extremely unique cold poison that was rapidly eroding Lord Ziqian's divine body.

This is an extremely precious and rare venom called the Nine-Colored Water of the Frost Whale, the most dangerous cold poison in the primordial universe.

Even a cosmic sage would have his life imprint frozen and his divine body annihilated after being drenched by the Nine-Colored Water of the Frost Whale.

However, for a top-tier cosmic overlord, the power of the Nine-Colored Water of the Frost Whale is not too great, and the rate of erosion is not fast; it merely means that a portion of divine power is sacrificed.

However, the Lord of the Submerged Realm was unconscious and could only watch helplessly as the Nine-Colored Water of the Frosty Whale rapidly eroded him.

When the divine bodies and souls of the three realms of Immortal God, Cosmic Venerable, and Cosmic Lord are completely merged, the annihilation of the divine body is equivalent to damage to the soul.

When the divine body of the Lord Ziqian exceeded 50%, the nine-colored water that was eroding his divine body was drawn away by some invisible force.

Before long, Lord Ziqian opened his eyes. He was not puzzled as to why his divine body was so badly damaged. Instead, he looked at a certain place in the void with a reverent and fanatical expression.

Even if the Lord of the Universe were to come in person at this moment, he would not discover any existence in the void, unless the true forms of the two Demon Ancestors descended.

……

Deep within the human race, within the secret realm of fallen gods.

Shen Mu, seated on the throne in the palace, slowly opened his eyes: "Fortunately, there is the suppression of the will technique, otherwise it would be impossible to enslave the Lord Ziqian, who is protected by the high-level treasure."

Even if he completely suppressed the other party's mind, Shen Mu could not enslave a top overlord or a cosmic lord protected by a high-level soul treasure; even soul penetration was difficult.

Therefore, Shen Mu had no choice but to abandon the option of direct enslavement. Instead, he would first weaken the opponent's divine body, damage their soul, and greatly reduce their defenses, and then enslave their soul.

With the powerful divine body of the Flame God Clan's avatar, the Nine Spirits Secret Technique is truly no weaker than the power of the Lord of Darkness!

"With my current soul realm, as long as it is not protected by a top-tier soul treasure, I can completely suppress my thoughts, damage my divine body, and then slowly enslave and infiltrate it."
