Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 182 Top-tier seventh rank, suppressing a true god!

Shen Mu half-closed his eyes, sensing the power of the immortal realm dormant in his right hand, and his expression subtly changed.

"Even Master Zuoshanke probably didn't expect that I could activate a small-scale military mechanical treasure all by myself."

Shen Mu wasn't sure what level of power he could unleash with the White Jade Capital, but it definitely surpassed the top level of the sixth rank and was truly comparable to a true god in the cosmic sea.

"My strength has increased significantly. Now I need to find someone to practice with. It'll be a good opportunity to test how far my combat power has reached."

During the time Shen Mu was in seclusion studying the "Origin of Water and Fire," many significant events also occurred in the Cosmic Sea.

The most famous one is Luo Feng, the newly crowned ruler of the universe among the human race, who was revealed to possess a supreme treasure, the long shuttle weapon.

For a time, Luo Feng, who was on the spaceship, was besieged and attacked by powerful figures from various forces, and forced into the dangerous abyss of the spaceship. His current fate is unknown.

That supreme and precious long shuttle weapon should be a disguised form of the Star Tower, shrunk countless times.

Although Luo Feng's combat power at the same level is heaven-defying, he can at most be considered a third-order universe master.

The fact that a third-order universe lord possesses an extremely powerful treasure will naturally attract the covetous eyes of countless forces.

"Two holy lands, three reincarnation eras, more than thirty forces, and hundreds of universe lords are chasing after him. Luo Feng has really made a big fuss."

After reviewing the detailed intelligence, Shen Mu couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

This level of ability to draw hatred is truly befitting of a chosen one born to face calamity.

Shen Mu has caused quite a few extraordinary incidents over the years, but he has never been hunted down by hundreds of universe lords.

With a thought, Shen Mu connected with Luo Feng through the virtual universe via his clone's consciousness.

……

Virtual universe, galactic temple.

"Senior brother."

Shen Mu looked Luo Feng up and down, then chuckled and said, "You're quite the troublemaker, kid. What's the specifics?"

Luo Feng said helplessly, "After you obtained the map of the spaceship, our human race's strong individuals began to move to the spaceship, and that's why I went there too."

"As a result, when I was exploring the God-Slaying Abyss area, I encountered the Lord of the Strings of the Mechanical Race and then we fought each other."

"As you know, Senior Brother, the Lord of Hengxian is extremely powerful. His status in the Mechanical Race is comparable to that of the Chaos City Lord in the Hong Alliance. I cannot hold back when fighting him and can only use the Star Tower."

What happened next is self-evident: a third-tier universe lord wielding a supreme treasure instantly caused a stir among the countless powerful individuals exploring the universe's voyage region.

Although Shen Mu was also revealed to possess an extremely powerful treasure, there are two reasons why he was not hunted down.

On the one hand, palace-type supreme treasures are synonymous with indestructibility, and on the other hand, it is also because Shen Mu himself is extremely powerful.

Where are you now?

Luo Feng did not hide anything from Shen Mu when asked.

"To escape the pursuit, I was forced to enter the ninth abyss of the twelve abysses of Flamewater Lake. With the protection of the Star Tower, I was naturally not in danger, but I could not escape from the abyss."

The Twelve Abysses of Flamewater Lake are considered one of the most forbidden areas in the inner domain of the Universe Ship.

These twelve abysses exude a terrifying suction force and pressure.

Once trapped in the Flame Lake, even the most powerful palace-level treasures cannot last more than a day.

Only palace-type treasures of a special treasure level can barely survive.

Secondly, there is that terrifying suction force. Even if the Lord of the Universe were to fly away while wielding a supreme treasure like a palace, he would not be able to escape. He would have to unleash at least the power of the seventh rank to break free from this terrifying suction force.

Therefore, Luo Feng is now trapped in the Ninth Abyss. Even with the Star Tower, it's no use; he can't even unleash the power of the sixth rank.

Luo Feng continued to explain his situation: "Now everyone is saying that I have perished and that the treasure has been lost in the abyss."

"However, even those cosmic lords dare not enter the abyss, so there shouldn't be any danger for the time being."

"But as time went by, more and more cosmic lords gathered outside the abyss."

"Based on the race's predictions, it won't be long before the strongest being in the universe arrives and enters the abyss."

Shen Mu nodded slightly upon hearing this and said, "Now that my strength has greatly increased, I'll take this opportunity to prove myself."

"I'll head to Flame Lake now. If any other True Gods arrive first, you can expose the Star Tower without any worries."

Luo Feng nodded quickly: "Thank you, senior brother. The founder of the Giant Axe also contacted me not long ago and is on his way to Flame Water Lake."

"Okay, I understand."

After confirming Luo Feng's situation, the chaotic divine light behind Shen Mu surged and condensed into twelve dark golden wings.

call out!

With a flap of his chaotic wings, Shen Mu's domain of controlling space and time radiated outwards, and he also flew away at a speed a hundred times faster than the limit of the cosmic sea.

Along the way, they used teleportation whenever possible to travel, ignoring any risks or obstacles.

Now, Shen Mu can unleash the power of the seventh rank when he activates Bai Yujing, and he can completely ignore dangerous places like the Flame Water Lake Abyss.

Only a very few extremely dangerous locations on the Jiefanzi map require attention.

However, the spaceship is still too vast. Even though the cyan secret chamber is not too far from the Flame Water Lake area, it is difficult to get there in a short time.

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty years have passed.

Over the years, Shen Mu has been studying the secret techniques of "Water and Fire Origin" left behind by Jie Fanzi, as well as the nine fireball treasures.

These nine fireball treasures were named the Blazing Cold Pearls by Jie Fanzi. For ordinary experts, they could only unleash the power of a beginner at the sixth level, which was comparable to a true rare treasure.

However, for the inheritors of "The Origin of Water and Fire," this is a truly supreme treasure.

Generally speaking, only by creating their own secret techniques can powerful beings at the level of the Lord of the Universe unleash their true power.

For example, Jie Fanzi's Water and Fire Origin is a true tenth-order secret technique, but if others were to use it, they could only unleash the power of a ninth-order technique, which would already be considered the limit.

The purpose of the Blazing Cold Pearl is to compensate for this deficiency.

After the inheritor fully comprehends the ultimate technique of "Origin of Water and Fire", with the help of the Blazing Cold Pearl, he can unleash the power of Jie Fanzi's own ultimate technique of "Origin of Water and Fire", which is at least at the tenth level.

As Shen Mu was comprehending and understanding the origins of water and fire, a blue light suddenly appeared out of thin air. It was an ancient blue token.

"Teacher Zuoshanke?"

Shen Mu was slightly taken aback, and then a wisp of his will seeped into the token, communicating with the Mountain Guest.

"Haha, Shen Mu's disciple, I heard from your junior brother Luo Feng that you're heading towards the Flame Water Lake Abyss?"

Shen Mu immediately replied, "Yes, I've already entered the Flame Lake area and will be entering the Ninth Abyss soon. Teacher, is there something urgent that you're contacting me about?"

The Mountain Guest laughed and said, "I have found your junior brother Luo Feng now. This Flame Water Lake Abyss is quite lively now, with seven of the universe's strongest beings arriving."

It's quite normal that the accurate information about the supreme treasure would attract more than a dozen of the strongest beings in the universe.

Shen Mu is currently only curious about the identities of these strongest beings in the universe.

"Teacher, from which forces do these true gods originate?"

"One true god came from each of the two holy lands. Three came in the first cycle of reincarnation, and only one came in the second cycle of reincarnation. The other one is the leader of the Northern Frontier Alliance of the Primordial Universe."

……

Meanwhile, above Flame Lake.

A dazzling streak of light traveling at more than 1000 times the speed of light suddenly flashed across the sky and then stopped instantly above the Flame Lake, completely ignoring inertia.

This is a feat that only a true god could accomplish.

Through the realm of "words become law," the true god can make the rules governing the universe revert to their original state, thus transcending the speed of light limit and ignoring the existence of inertia.

hum!

The light subsided, revealing a strange beast-like figure emanating an eerie, sucking power.

The figure had the body of a beast and the face of a human, with two sharp horns on its head and a strange magical cloth cloak on its body, its gaze sweeping over the entire Flame Water Lake.

Just then, ripples spread across the Flame Lake, and then a figure clad in golden armor appeared.

This person had an unfamiliar face, and behind him were eight arms, each wielding a divine hammer of varying sizes. He was Pan Cheng, a fifth-order universe master of the Purple Moon Holy Land.

"That fluctuation just now was..."

The Lord of Pancheng's expression changed slightly after seeing the strange beast-bodied, human-faced creature.

"Greetings, Lord Gluttonous Cloth Demon!"

The Gluttonous Demon Lord nodded slightly and asked, "In which abyss did the Human Lord of the Galaxy perish?"

The master of the plate changed his expression slightly; another true god had arrived.

The news of a supreme treasure will inevitably attract many true gods to gather.

This Gluttonous Demon Lord is a true god from the first era of reincarnation. The strongest beings in this era of reincarnation are the most insane, so it's best to avoid provoking him if possible.

"He entered the Ninth Abyss."

The Gluttonous Demon Lord nodded slightly: "I understand."

As soon as he finished speaking, his speed instantly soared, a thousand times the speed of light, ten thousand times the speed of light... directly rushing into the endless frozen lake and thunderfire at the top.

Passing through the endless thunder and fire, the entrance to the vast and boundless abyss appeared before the Gluttonous Demon Lord.

"The most powerful and precious species, the long-stemmed dragon, is exactly what I need. I hope to achieve something this time!"

Despite being the strongest being in the universe, the Gluttonous Demon Lord has yet to acquire any supreme treasure throughout the three great cycles of reincarnation.

His most precious treasure, the Black Demon Spirit Cone, is merely a special treasure, similar to the Illusion Heart Pearl, possessing the effect of amplifying the secret techniques of the soul.

"Which true god is causing this fluctuation?"

Just then, a streak of light flew swiftly from afar, and an extremely special aura of supreme power swept out, drawing the gaze of the Gluttonous Demon Lord.

"Those are... chaotic wings, belonging to the Primal Chaos Lord of the human race!"

"Judging from its fluctuations, these Chaos Wings are actually an extremely powerful treasure."

"If we include that palace-type supreme treasure, Lord Hunyuan, a mere fifth-order universe lord, actually possesses two supreme treasures."

The Demon Lord of the Gluttonous Cloth's eyes flickered, revealing a hint of coldness and greed.

If he could obtain this supreme treasure of the palace type, he would be able to delve into the more dangerous areas of the three forbidden zones, and his chances of obtaining ancient inheritances would be greater.

Palace-type supreme treasures are very likely to have the effect of weakening soul attacks, but it shouldn't be too excessive; it should be equivalent to the defense of special soul-type supreme treasures.

With his top-tier eighth-order Gluttonous Sound Secret Technique, enhanced by the Black Demon Spiral Cone, he could very well kill him in one strike.

A supreme treasure among palace-type artifacts!

Being able to explore more dangerous areas means a greater chance of obtaining opportunities and a greater hope of transcending the cycle of reincarnation!

The next instant, the Gluttonous Demon Lord's figure vanished from the spot and reappeared in front of Shen Mu.

"Ang! Ooh! Ken!"

A jet-black demonic cone emerged from the top of the Gluttonous Demon Lord's head. Endless ethereal divine power was transformed through this demonic cone, becoming more solid, and then turned into rolling demonic sounds, directly blasting towards Shen Mu.

The power of the top-tier eighth-order secret technique has increased once again, and the power of these demonic sounds is infinitely close to that of the ninth order.

Ding-dong!

A palace-like phantom appeared around Shen Mu, accompanied by the melodious sound of string music.

This is the ability of Huale Palace, one of the 108 palaces of Baiyujing. Now, driven by the Legion Flow, it is naturally no weaker than the strongest treasure of the soul defense type.

"The Gluttonous Demon Lord!"

Shen Mu, dressed in a feathered robe shrouded in chaotic mist, stared at the Gluttonous Demon Lord with a slightly solemn expression.

This Gluttonous Cloth Demon Lord is no ordinary True God; he is an old fellow from the first era of reincarnation, and is actually extremely powerful, on par with the Giant Axe Founder, second only to a few of the strongest True Gods!

Moreover, this Gluttonous Cloth Demon Lord has quite high comprehension; he should have become a true ninth-order True God.

The reason why this person, who has lived through two cycles of reincarnation and is still an eighth-order true god, is most likely because he took the wrong path.

In the original story, during the assessment of the Duan Donghe inheritance, the Gluttonous Cloth Demon Lord was the first True God to meet the assessment standard in the test of the Xihuang Bureau, and his comprehension was definitely no weaker than those ninth-order beings.

"It seems that the soul defense of your treasure is not weak at all. Otherwise, even the strongest universe master would have been annihilated by my soul with this attack."

"I wonder how many of my Gluttonous Voices you can withstand!"

The Demon Lord of the Gluttonous Cloth roared, like the howl of ten thousand beasts, and the endless ethereal divine power became even sharper under the condensation of the black demon spirit cone!

"They really think I'm an easy target."

Shen Mu's calm voice rang out, and rings of divine wheels formed from the radiance of soul light appeared behind him, eventually coalescing into a world-destroying vertical pupil.

Shen Mu's original plan was to find an ordinary seventh-order true god, suppress his strength with a will attack, and then directly bring him into the primordial universe to kill him.

Unexpectedly, this time I encountered a top-tier eighth-order true god, but he was a madman from the first reincarnation era. It just goes to show that plans can't keep up with changes.

Boom!

A vast and boundless spiritual power converged, and a terrifying impact of will transformed into world-destroying thunder, instantly doubling in size, before slamming fiercely towards the Gluttonous Demon Lord.

In that instant, the Gluttonous Demon Lord felt as if he were in a region with a time flow rate 3 times faster than the Black Pattern Stone Pillar area, and the terrifying impact of that will carried endless pain.

Even though he was an eighth-order true god, his will was affected to some extent at this moment.

At this moment, the Gluttonous Demon Lord could no longer perfectly combine the Black Demon Spirit Cone and the Gluttonous Demon Sound Secret Technique, and could not unleash the demonic sound attack that was infinitely close to the ninth rank.

Boom!

The wings, flowing with chaotic light, instantly erupted into a dark golden domain, a weakened version of the "Words Become Law" domain.

The so-called weakened version of the "Words Become Law" domain has the same control over spacetime as the true God's "Words Become Law" domain, but it cannot cause the rules governing the universe to regress.

Coincidentally, even a true god cannot truly manifest their words when facing beings of lower realms; their manifestation is merely a weakened version.

"If you're going to kill someone to steal their treasure, be prepared to be killed in return!"

Shen Mu raised his right hand, and a universe was reflected in his small palm. This was a celestial universe formed by the convergence of 108 celestial realms.

Boom!

Within the thirty-six palaces of Baiyujing, the celestial realms transformed from the Sun Palace and the Moon Palace suddenly underwent a change, evolving into a true world of water and fire.

Unparalleled martial art, the source of water and fire, open!

During his journey, Shen Mu not only comprehended the secret techniques but also studied how to use Bai Yujing as a weapon to activate the ultimate technique of "Water and Fire Origin".

Although Shen Mu is still far from truly mastering this heaven-defying technique, he can still barely unleash the power of someone who has just entered the sixth rank.

Now, amplified by Bai Yujing at his peak, Shen Mu's right hand seemed to transform into a true Yin-Yang universe in an instant.

Boom!

Extreme heat and extreme cold collided and intertwined, seemingly annihilating the entire universe, before crashing down in a terrifying hand seal!

"What?!"

The Gluttonous Cloth Demon Lord looked at Shen Mu in shock. This human race's Hunyuan Lord was actually able to ignore his eighth-order demonic sound and launch a counterattack!

Before they could think any further, Shen Mu's terrifying water and fire palm print came crashing down from afar!

"Even without using my soul techniques, I am not someone you, a mere universe lord, can challenge!"

The Gluttonous Demon Lord roared, and a terrifying suction force condensed in his mouth. This was his once strongest ultimate technique, "Flower of the Black Hole".

Although the Gluttonous Demon Lord now mainly cultivates soul secret techniques, in terms of martial arts, the Devouring Secret Technique also has power that is infinitely close to the eighth rank.

The endless suction power condensed into a small black hole.

The next instant, the deep black hole suddenly exploded, forming a flower of destruction that met Shen Mu's water and fire palm print!

Boom!

The collision between the two generated a massive aftershock that swept across the surrounding area.

The endless water and fire evolved into a terrifying millstone, which was annihilated along with the pitch-black flower of destruction. The terrifying aftershocks swept in all directions, as if shaking the entire Flame Water Lake area.

"That palm strike! Impossible!"

The Gluttonous Demon Lord looked somewhat shocked: "It's actually the power of a top-tier seventh-order attack! How could a universe lord like you possibly unleash a top-tier seventh-order attack?!"

"Tiger Cloth, today is your death day!"

Shen Mu's voice echoed outwards, and a dazzling burst of lightning and will erupted.

hum!

Shen Mu pushed the offensive power of the Eternal Wings to its limit. Although he had not yet comprehended the third level of the secret runes, he was still able to unleash the power of a top-tier sixth-order weapon.

For Shen Mu, who had comprehended the heart of the Beast God, these twelve wings were like twelve swords, which, with the endless supply of divine power, instantly unleashed hundreds of sword lights.

"Suppress them!"

Hundreds of sword lights combined with the dark golden domain instantly suppressed the Gluttonous Demon Lord.

Following closely behind, Shen Mu's figure flickered like a dream, with extreme cold and extreme heat perfectly blending together to evolve into a yin-yang fish palm print.

In an instant, countless yin-yang fish palm prints were unleashed. Shen Mu didn't have any special skills, but he had a lot of divine power!

At this moment, the entire sky above Flame Water Lake transformed into countless Yin-Yang fish worlds, continuously bombarding the Gluttonous Cloth Demon Lord!

"A true god! He must have broken through to the true god realm!"

"The human race's divine bodies are not large. Without the supply of a small universe, even if they can use seventh-order secret techniques, their divine power consumption cannot keep up!"

The Gluttonous Demon Lord frantically burned his divine power, unleashing endless demonic sounds and blooming flowers of destruction as he desperately resisted.

Unfortunately, the endless demonic sound, which was enough to severely injure a top-tier seventh-order True God, had no effect on Shen Mu.

Under the suppression of the supreme treasure domain, he was blasted away by countless yin-yang fish palm prints and directly smashed into the endless flame water lake, stirring up terrifying tsunamis hundreds of millions of kilometers long!

"boom!"

Shen Mu was enveloped in chaotic mist, and his figure shot into the Flame Water Lake like a world-destroying thunderbolt!

……

In the distance, on the surface of Flame Water Lake, figures stood in different parts of the void, watching this scene with shocked expressions.

There were more than ten figures in total, all of whom were powerful individuals from various races who had gathered at Flamewater Lake over the years.

Among them are many sixth-tier beings, such as the Lord of Miya of the Eastern Emperor Holy Land and the Lord of the Deer and Insects of the Purple Moon Holy Land.

They were all drawn here by the energy fluctuations generated by the battle at the True God level, wanting to see which two True Gods were fighting.

What they witnessed was truly astonishing!

"This world must be insane! A cosmic ruler is actually overwhelming the Gluttonous Demon Lord!"

"The Gluttonous Demon Lord! He's a high-level true god... He's simply insane!"

"It's true... the energy fluctuations just emitted by that Chaos Origin Lord definitely reached the peak of the seventh rank!"
