Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 175 Target: The Innate Abilities of the Realm Beast

A dazzling halo of flame was blasted away by the self-destruction of the Lord of Yuan'ao.

In the next instant, Shen Mu's figure traversed space and directly grasped the flame halo into his palm.

This is a semi-transparent, strange cup containing a large amount of sand with a fiery glow. It is the most powerful treasure of the Lord of Yuan'ao, the Flaming Sand Cup.

"Excellent, this treasure is mine."

Although this Flame Sand Cup is far inferior to the Sword River Luo and Thousand Treasures River, it is still considered a top-grade treasure among the top-level treasures, and its value is not low.

Although Shen Mu no longer needs it, it would still be a great gift for relatives and friends.

On the other side, Luo Feng also acquired the strange armor of the Lord of Yuan'ao.

"Everyone, our human race will not contest the fragments of the Peak Realm map this time."

Shen Mu laughed heartily, and then he and Luo Feng disappeared into the void together.

At this moment, on the distant other side of the Milky Way, more than two billion light-years away from the Mysterious Realm of Yuan.

Although the avatar of the Flame God Clan is not the true ruler of the universe, its will is extremely strong. It can also sense spatial fluctuations more than 100,000 light-years away and teleport there instantly.

Such mastery of teleportation is something that even the vast majority of universe lords cannot match.

The only one who could catch up was the creator of the Black Universe.

"Dark Cosmic Domain!"

A vast, illusory universe suddenly spread out, and then endless stars could be seen rising and falling in that universe.

Golden flames coalesced, revealing the figure of the Black Universe's founder.

"Emperor Yan, you're quite the runner, but your time has come to an end!"

The Black Universe Founder looked at the golden armor on the Flame God Clan's avatar, a fiery look appearing in his eyes.

A truly supreme treasure is worth far more than any rare object.

Even if the Black Universe Founder already possesses a suit of armor, he can still use it to exchange for a weapon-type treasure with other forces in the cosmic sea.

Shen Mu sensed the other powerful figures who had been chasing after him, but they were now far behind. Furthermore, the Black Universe Domain shrouded the area, so no one could probe the scene here across endless space and time.

"Founder of the Black Universe, I know I am no match for you, so I will give you this fragment of the map of the Peak Realm."

With a wave of his hand, Shen Mu sent more than twenty fragments of the Inclined Peak Realm map flying in all directions as they transformed into a dazzling stream of light.

With a wave of his hand, the creator of the Black Universe caused void rifts to appear in the Black Universe domain, appearing on the inevitable paths of the fragments of the Inclined Peak Realm map.

In the next instant, all the fragments of the Peak Realm map appeared in the palm of the Black Universe Founder, a total of twenty-one pieces, not one missing.

"Heh, you can't escape..."

Before the Black Universe Founder could finish speaking, the towering figure clad in golden armor vanished from the spot.

"Huh? Impossible!"

"Controlling time and space!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

The Black Universe Founder's control over spacetime, combined with the Black Universe Domain, means that his control over spacetime, at least within the primordial universe, is in no way inferior to that of the most powerful treasures.

Let alone a mere Yan Emperor, even a true god descending could not teleport away so silently.

Boom!

The invisible will of the true God swept out, scrutinizing everything within 80 light-years.

At this moment, in the deepest layer of the interstic space, Bai Yujing, shrunk to the size of a palm, was 'leisurely' fleeing in one direction.

The avatar of the Flame God Clan sat upright in the Jade Palace, revealing his true form. His features and temperament were seven-tenths similar to Shen Mu's true form.

"Investigate slowly. The credit for suppressing such a scourge as the Flame Emperor belongs to none other than you, the founder of the Black Universe."

Among the 108 palaces of Baiyujing, one palace is shining brightly, and above the palace, a purple star emits an eerie fluctuation, enveloping the entire Baiyujing.

Even when the consciousness of the Black Universe's creator swept over it, it couldn't detect the existence of anything at all.

The 108 palaces of Baiyujing each have their own unique uses. Although their individual power is not as great as that of the supreme treasures, they can be considered pseudo-supreme treasures due to their various extremely powerful effects.

The fact that someone like the Mountain-Sitting Guest could refine a treasure that took hundreds of thousands of epochs to create suggests that Bai Yujing is no ordinary place.

……

The endless cosmic sea is filled with boundless chaotic currents, and within these endless chaotic currents, the primordial universe is the largest known celestial body.

Within the cosmic sea, teleportation to the divine realm and flight through the dark universe are both ineffective.

To navigate the vast ocean of space, one must rely on either teleportation or natural wormholes.

However, the cosmic ocean is too vast, and to this day, no strongest being in the universe has been able to discover its end. It is filled with endless unknown lands, and once one teleports to an unknown land, one is very likely to get completely lost.

At this moment, in the endless chaotic currents hundreds of billions of light-years away from the original universe, there exists an inconspicuous small universe.

In a miniature universe.

"Haha, it's finally done! We've paid such a high price this time, but we've finally hooked those little guys from the primordial universe!"

A creature covered in brown rocks, resembling a majestic mountain range, emitted a deep, rumbling sound.

Beside him, another colossal being, its entire body seemingly forged from steel, was also extremely satisfied: "I wonder which unlucky true god will take the bait this time!"

In mid-air, a gigantic phantom of a lightning giant couldn't help but nod.

The phantom of the lightning giant had a ball of lightning on its chest, which resembled a star radiating endless thunder.

The Thunder Giant boomed, "This time, an interesting little fellow has appeared in the Cosmic Sea. The Cosmic Lord, who is only a little over 100,000 years old, actually possesses the will and will-impact talent of a true god."

"I have a feeling that the little guy might grow up to become the second Primal. This human race is truly incredibly lucky."

Upon hearing the thunder giant's words, the original rock god spoke up: "Even if you become the second Primordial, so what? Before the 'King,' nothing matters!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a fanatical look appeared in the eyes of the three people present.

……

Human race, Giant Axe Realm.

"The giant axe, this is the rare item obtained by the Lord of Yuan'ao. If you pair it with an axe blade of the highest level, it should improve your combat power to a certain extent."

Shen Mu's palm flashed with dark light, and then a strange piece of wood appeared, with crescent-shaped patterns around it, emitting an extremely eerie aura.

The savage giant accepted the strange object without any hesitation and couldn't help but examine it closely.

The aura emanating from this black wood actually aroused a sense of revulsion in this true god, stemming from his very life instincts.

After sensing the situation briefly, the founder of the giant axe shook his head.

"There's no need to equip it with an axe blade. After all, it's not a true supreme treasure, so even if you equip it, it won't have much effect."

"However, it is a rare item after all, and it has a certain corrosive effect on the divine body of a true god. Although it is not as powerful as a true supreme treasure, it is still much more effective than a peak supreme treasure for me."

Shen Mu nodded slightly, and then said directly, "There is one more thing. The map of the silk threads that the Lord of Yuan'ao obtained was problematic. I transferred the map to the Black Universe Founder through my Yan God Clan avatar."

Is there a problem with the silk thread map?

The founder of the giant axe was slightly taken aback, but then he realized what was going on.

Shen Mu has never actually entered the Cosmic Sea, so even if the Thread Map is faulty, it shouldn't have been discovered.

Since Shen Mu was so certain, it was clearly his alien teacher, the Mountain Hermit, who discovered the problem with the Silk Map.

"Okay, I understand."

"However, the information about the problem with the silk-thread map is something only the two of us need to know."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Giant Axe Founder suddenly said, "Speaking of which, you now possess strength that rivals even true gods in the Cosmic Sea. Have you considered venturing out into the Cosmic Sea?"

Long before Shen Mu truly possessed the combat power of a universe master, the founder of the giant axe had discussed this issue with Shen Mu.

However, both of them ultimately decided to stay in the original universe for a while longer.

Under normal circumstances, possessing the strength of a second-tier universe master is enough to explore the universe.

However, Shen Mu's situation is special. He possesses an incomparably powerful secret technique of will. If he encounters a true god from an opposing force such as the demon race in the cosmic sea, he will inevitably be intercepted and killed.

Even if Shen Mu is killed, the two demon race universe lords suppressed by the human race will also perish, and they will probably take risks as well.

After all, that willpower-shattering ability is just too overpowered.

But the situation is different now. Although Shen Mu did not say it explicitly, the founder of the giant axe and others could guess that the palace-type treasure that Shen Mu used when dealing with the Lord of Changjiu should be an extremely powerful treasure.

The Supreme Treasure Palace possesses near-invincible defensive capabilities, capable of ignoring even the material attacks of true gods, even in the cosmic sea.

As for soul attacks, there's absolutely nothing to worry about.

With Shen Mu's current soul defense, mastery of soul secret techniques, and powerful will, coupled with a top-tier soul defense treasure, it's likely that no one except the Primordial Ancestor could do anything to him.

Before creating the secrets of the virtual universe, the original was already an invincible master of illusion.

Most importantly, the primordial illusion does not need to penetrate the opponent's soul defense to take effect. It directly destroys all the soul defense treasures, causing the opponent's will to be permanently trapped in the illusion world, which is no different from permanent sleep.

Even setting aside his unparalleled mastery of illusion techniques, the Primordial Ancestor's material attack power was truly at the tenth rank, completely suppressing those special true gods who had no souls.

"Hmm, it's time to go on an adventure in the cosmic sea."

Shen Mu has now begun to comprehend the third layer of secret runes of Bai Yujing.

Although its attack power cannot reach the level of a true god, it is enough to wield the supreme treasure and roam the universe without being suppressed.

Whether it's the area of ​​black-patterned stone pillars that distorts the flow of time, the broken sword tip that forged the supreme treasure of soul attack, or the last pair of wings hidden in the Inclined Peak Realm.

All three can significantly boost Shen Mu's combat power in a short period of time.

……

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

A remote place in the primordial universe.

There is an incredibly massive supermassive black hole here. The celestial bodies in the surrounding vast star field have long been swallowed up by this black hole. There is no luminous matter, only near-pure darkness.

"This is the Toya Black Hole, which is also the most powerful black hole in the entire primordial universe, tearing apart the membrane of the primordial universe."

The Lord of Chaos City said, "There are two ways to travel from the Primordial Universe to the Cosmic Sea."

"One option is to directly tear through the cosmic membrane and enter the endless ocean of space, but one cannot determine one's location."

"Another way is to enter the cosmic sea through the Toya black hole. At the other end of the Toya black hole, there are 39 natural wormholes that connect different regions, allowing direct teleportation and saving a lot of time."

"This is also the main reason why all the powerful beings from our original universe left from here."

As he spoke, the Lord of Chaos City sent the cosmic sea map possessed by the human race to Shen Mu and Luo Feng through the virtual universe.

Then, he also informed Shen Mu and Luo Feng of some precautions for using the map.

Firstly, the map must not be circulated outside the alliance. Even the alien universe lords of the Hongmeng only have a simplified version of the map.

Secondly, teleportation is prohibited outside of clearly marked areas on the map, otherwise it is easy to get lost.

Shen Mu nodded slightly and said, "I understand, I know."

Luo Feng, who was standing to the side, nodded repeatedly: "I will keep in mind the teacher's teachings."

The Lord of Chaos City laughed heartily: "Come, I'll take you into the Cosmic Sea!"

The endless cosmic sea is permeated with chaotic currents.

However, at the level of the Lord of the Universe, one cannot simply rely on sight to see; for example, the divine power that spreads out can more clearly grasp the surrounding situation.

"Shen Mu, Luo Feng, this is the Cosmic Sea!"

The Lord of Chaos looked back and exclaimed, "This is the primordial universe, the cradle that gave birth to billions of races and lives like us!"

Shen Mu and Luo Feng also turned to look, their expressions also moved.

Any living thing will feel a sense of insignificance when it is next to a huge object.

If you can't feel it, there's only one reason: the so-called huge object isn't actually that big.

At first glance, the enormous membrane spreads outwards, like a huge curtain that seems to have no end, as if it directly covers half of the entire cosmic ocean.

Through the membrane, one can vaguely see the endless flow of time and space.

Shen Mu had no idea what Luo Feng was thinking at the moment. Shen Mu's own thought was that he might try to possess this primordial universe in the future.

In a sense, this primordial universe is a super-life form.

The only being comparable to the primordial universe is the legendary Beast King.

Once one successfully possesses the original universe, one will be able to directly perceive the endless mysteries of the universe's operation. As long as one does not perish, one will inevitably become a being at the level of a Chaos Saint.

Of course, beings capable of possessing the original universe inherently possess the potential to become saints amidst chaos.

Therefore, the greatest benefit of possessing the original universe is that it greatly reduces the difficulty of becoming a god-king.

"If the primordial universe contained life, would there be beings with innate abilities?"

Shen Mu was unaware of this, but he was certain that the Beast Clan possessed many powerful innate abilities.

The only uncertainty is whether his cloning talent can replicate the innate abilities of the Beast Clan.

"I have three more chances to replicate this secret technique, namely the three realms of Cosmic Venerable, Cosmic Lord, and True God."

"We must leave one chance to try and see if we can plunder the talents of the Beast Clan."

"There is one more chance that I cannot use lightly. If I happen to obtain some extraordinary biological materials in the future, it would be too tragic if I cannot replicate the secret technique."

"Now we can choose a secret technique for replicating the Venerable Realm."

Shen Mu had previously analyzed countless true god life materials obtained from Master Zuoshanke.

The result was disappointing. The true god-level materials had undergone a qualitative change, and there were no secret methods to plunder them. However, there were still some special abilities that could be copied.

For example, some life forms are born with the ability to transform into various forms, such as material life and energy life. This ability is not a natural secret, but it is not very useful either.

"Hopefully, during our adventures in the cosmic sea, we can obtain materials from some extraordinary life forms that were born in the previous era of reincarnation before the primordial universe."

In each cycle of the primordial universe, a few extremely extraordinary life forms are born.

For example, in the era of reincarnation that Shen Mu is in, the most heaven-defying existence should be the Nine Nether Sea.

The 12-light-year diameter of the divine body is not the limit of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, but the limit of the rules of the universe. If the limitations of the rules of the universe are disregarded, Shen Mu does not know where the upper limit of the Nine Netherworlds Sea is.

As for the countless previous cycles of reincarnation, it is likely that in each cycle there were also special life forms that could be compared to the Nine Nether Sea.

For example, there are the naturally born beast gods in each generation of reincarnation. It should be noted that each naturally born beast god is unique.

Each generation of Beast Gods possesses unique special abilities and innate secret techniques; the only thing they have in common is that they are all embodiments of the fusion of laws.
