Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 204 Settling and Development, Chaos City Lord Breakthrough

Treating the body as a precious treasure for refinement is the most common way of body refinement on the Origin Continent today.

As a god-king who opened up a country, Zuo Shan Ke's strength is naturally not weak, especially in terms of divine body, which can be said to be at the peak of ordinary god-kings.

The Mountain-Sitting Guest's enormous divine body had long been refined to an extremely terrifying level.

If the Food Kingdom hadn't been so powerful, and if none of its three rulers had been easy to deal with, then the Mountain Guest wouldn't have ended up like this.

"In fact, your divine body has already evolved to be extremely powerful, but all of this will only be revealed after you break through to become a true god."

Shen Mu was also aware of this; his divine body was much harder to annihilate than that of other universe lords who also possessed divine bodies ten thousand times stronger.

This special change comes from the immortal body of the "Undying Primordial Bird".

It is likely that the reason why the Undying Primordial Bird's divine body can rival the Infinite Divine Body is largely because the divine body is inherently like a super treasure.

"The most urgent task for the Lord of the Universe is to comprehend the fundamental structure of life and make his divine power even stronger."

"Only after the powerful beings of those ancient civilizations broke through to the True God realm, and their divine power intensity and total amount were completely fixed, would they delve into the art of body refinement."

As the mountain dweller spoke, he flipped his right hand, and a black stone of memory appeared in his palm.

Clearly, if the Mountain Dweller could bring the Star Tower out of the Jin World, there's no reason why he couldn't bring out other treasures.

"This is my highest inheritance: one is the secret technique of willpower, and the other is the secret technique of body refinement."

"Besides that, I once had a fortuitous opportunity and possess a heaven-defying secret technique, which I will pass on to you and Luo Feng in the future. As for who will master it... that depends on your destiny."

Shen Mu quickly accepted the Memory Stone and respectfully bowed to the Mountain Guest, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, teacher."

That so-called supreme secret technique must be the Lieyuan Technique.

Long ago, Yuan passed down his secret art of willpower, known as the ultimate expression of willpower, which was the Lieyuan Art.

"The Art of Rank and Element... it's really hard to say whether I can master it."

The requirements for the Lieyuan Technique are extremely high; even a True God-level expert must possess the will of a Chaos Realm expert.

It spans three major realms, and the difference in will becomes more and more obvious as you progress, with each realm being worlds apart.

In the original story, Luo Feng never achieved enlightenment until the final battle with the Beast of the Realm, where he comprehended the Great Dao amidst life and death.

However, with Shen Mu's current strength, unless he allows the birth of the Beast King, he would not face any life-or-death crisis with the mechanical treasure "Taiyi God".

After putting away the black Memory Stone, Shen Mu was about to speak when he suddenly sensed something and looked towards Earth.

Boom!

The vast primordial laws of the universe descended, and boundless divine power surged and swirled, tilting towards Earth.

Enveloped in an endless ocean of divine power, Shen Mu saw his daughter Shen Mingyue and her two avatars.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother," Puti said with a smile. "Mingyue is a child of excellent character, and he has often come here to seek guidance from the teacher over the years."

Although Shen Mingyue came here to seek guidance from the Mountain Hermit, it was mostly her senior master, Puti, who personally instructed her.

"I never imagined that in just tens of thousands of years, Mingyue would go from being an invincible king to a cosmic venerable."

Shen Mu was somewhat surprised that Shen Mingyue had made such a breakthrough in such a short time.

Back then, which invincible king wasn't a cosmic venerable who had been stuck at this realm for a long time before breaking through?

We're fortunate to live in such a great era, with a complete and systematic guide. As long as we can grasp the three profound mysteries of the higher laws, we can break through in no time.

At the same time that Shen Mu noticed Shen Mingyue's breakthrough, his three uncles, Luo Feng, Hong, and Thor, also noticed it and immediately appeared on Earth.

"Haha, Xiaomingyue is now the fourth cosmic venerable one of our Earthling lineage."

"Currently, our Earthling lineage only has four powerful brothers like us, but in the future, there are destined to be many more powerful individuals."

Looking at this scene, Luo Feng laughed and said, "This time, Xiao Xu'er has probably been completely caught up by her sister."

Luo Xu, Luo Feng's eldest daughter, was born because of Shen Mu's butterfly effect, which led to Luo Feng and Xu Xin getting married earlier.

After that, Luo Feng continued to cultivate diligently until he advanced to immortality, at which point he had some free time. He then had twin babies with Xu Xin, whom he named Luo Hai and Luo Ping.

These two little guys are not even 100,000 years old yet, and they are still suppressing themselves, not yet breaking through to the immortal realm.

As Luo Feng was speaking, ripples appeared in the void, and Shen Mu and Tang Yongqing appeared side by side.

"Amu, Xiaoqing."

"Third brother, third sister."

Shen Mu and Tang Yongqing responded with smiles, then looked at Shen Mingyue, who had already completed her breakthrough.

Thor then put his hand on Shen Mu's shoulder and said, "Speaking of which, Xiao Mingyue is just like the third brother; they are both ascetics. It seems they don't even want to get married."

Shen Mu smiled and said, "I don't care. In the vast universe, I don't see anyone who is worthy of my daughter."

Tang Yongqing shoved Shen Mu: "It's all your fault for turning Xiaomingyue into an ascetic like you."

Shen Mu didn't argue; he had long since stopped paying attention to Shen Mingyue's love life.

However, perhaps because her father was too dazzling, Shen Mingyue was not interested in the "ordinary people" who pursued her at all.

During the conversation, Shen Mingyue, who had already completed her breakthrough, teleported to the front of Shen Mu and the others.

"Mom and Dad, Uncle, Second Uncle, and Third Uncle."

Thor laughed and said, "Mingyue, this is a gift from your second uncle to congratulate you on your breakthrough."

As he spoke, Thor flipped his right hand, and a magnificent wing woven from lightning appeared, radiating the power of a top-tier treasure.

This treasure may not be the most powerful, but it looks good and is very stylish.

"Thank you so much, Second Uncle!"

Shen Mingyue happily accepted the treasure, then looked longingly at Hong and Luo Feng.

"Second brother, you're so cunning! When did you prepare this gift? You didn't even tell me."

Luo Feng made a sarcastic remark about Thor, thought for a long time, and then took out a Memory Stone.

These are some useless special secret techniques collected from the Duan Donghe lineage. The effect of this technique is to make the cultivator more beautiful, in every sense of the word. It is very popular among female cultivators on the Origin Continent.

Hong simply took out one of his most frequently used palace treasures; he didn't have any fancy treasures or interesting secret techniques on him.

Seeing this, Tang Yongqing reached out and tapped her daughter's forehead hard: "You've really grown bold, daring to take any treasure offered to you."

Shen Mingyue snorted and said, "Mom, I'm a Universe Venerable now, much stronger than you. Stop treating me like a child, okay?"

Tang Yongqing sneered, "I won't care about you anymore until you can beat your father."

Upon hearing this, Shen Mingyue immediately hung her head in dejection.

How could that be? He had already heard from his master, the Ice Peak Master, that perhaps only his master, the Mountain Guest, could suppress his father in the entire universe.

"Dad, I want to create a cosmic kingdom! I want to be its ruler!"

Shen Mingyue suddenly revived and looked at Shen Mu excitedly.

"You, the ruler of a cosmic nation?" Shen Mu couldn't help but question. Given his daughter's temperament, he really didn't think she was suitable to govern a cosmic nation.

Shen Mingyue nodded matter-of-factly and said, "Anyway, I'm just a mascot. I'll fight when there's trouble, and cultivate when there's no trouble."

Shen Mu waved his hand: "Go find your grandmaster and the Lord of Chaos City. They are in charge of these affairs. As long as they agree, I have no objection."

"My master will definitely agree. If all else fails, I'll ask my senior uncle Bai Feng to go and pester him together."

Tang Yongqing raised her hand to straighten her daughter's neatly combed collar, then looked at Shen Mu and said, "Amu, it's been a long time since our four families have gotten together. Let's take advantage of Mingyue's breakthrough to have a get-together."

Back when the four Shen brothers were conquering the stars, Tang Yongqing's family and Luo Feng's family, along with Hong and Lei Shen's families, started the Kyushu Company.

Now that the four brothers have grown stronger, their families are seen less and less.

"Alright, eldest brother, second brother, and junior brother, what do you all say?"

"Let's get together then."

Hong Wenwen nodded and said, "I'll go call Xiao Guang."

"Leilei seems to still be undergoing training; I'll go pick her up."

Thor and his daughter have long since reconciled; the emotional entanglements from his Earth era are quite fragile in the face of time.

……

At this moment, in the center of the primordial universe, inside a temporary temple.

The Lord of Chaos City is currently engrossed in a tangle of countless matters.

The human race controlled the entire primitive universe, especially after Shen Mu slapped his hand and abolished the concept of all races.

This has led to the emergence of many problems, all of which ultimately have to be handled by the Chaos City Lord, the chief steward.

"Haha, Chaos, still busy?"

A rough laugh echoed through the temple, and then a savage giant with disheveled hair appeared inside.

"Giant Axe, weren't you in seclusion? When did you come out?" the Chaos City Lord asked with a smile.

The founder of the giant axe scratched his messy hair: "I don't have any clue. I'm thinking of wandering around for a bit. Want to go for a walk together?"

The Lord of Chaos City paused slightly, then nodded and said, "Alright, let's take a walk together then."

Under a tranquil starry sky, this place was once the territory of the demon race, but is now a newly opened cosmic kingdom by the human race, one of the 10081 great cosmic kingdoms.

The ruler of this cosmic kingdom is none other than the Nine Swords Venerable, who presided over Shen Mu's genius competition back then.

The rulers of the universe today are not like those of the past. To become a ruler of the universe, one must first possess the strength of a cosmic overlord.

Strolling under the starry sky, the Lord of Chaos City laughed and said, "A couple of days ago, Shen Mu's daughter, Xiao Mingyue, also broke through to the realm of the Universe Venerable."

"Then Xiaomingyue applied to me, intending to become the ruler of the universe. However, that guy Shen Mu told me to refuse Xiaomingyue's request and wait until Xiaomingyue truly possesses the strength of a hegemon before considering it."

Giant Axe laughed and said, "Remember to tell Little Bright Moon later that it was her father who wouldn't let her be the ruler of the universe."

The Lord of Chaos City couldn't help but laugh, "Giant Axe, why are you being so cunning now?"

After hearing this, the Giant Axe Founder chuckled for a long time, then suddenly scratched his head and asked, "Little Bright Moon, how many newly breakthrough Cosmic Venerables are we in this era of our human race?"

The Lord of Chaos City spoke up: "The 147th."

"So many?" The founder of the giant axe was also taken aback.

The Lord of Chaos City smiled and said, "This is the foundation of our human race over the years. I don't know how many people are stuck at the last half step before the Venerable One."

"Once this batch of powerful individuals have all broken through to their limits, it won't be so easy for a new Universe Venerable to emerge."

The founder of the giant axe knew this principle, but he was still happy.

"In this way... we have not disappointed the original ancestors' expectations and have finally survived until the day when our human race rises."

The Lord of Chaos City was also somewhat moved, gazing into the distance.

"Yes, teacher..."

"Our human race now dominates the primordial universe."

As the Lord of Chaos spoke, his gaze deepened, as if recalling experiences from countless years ago. Suddenly, he closed his eyes, and a peculiar fluctuation emanated from him, causing the surrounding cosmic operating rules to begin to change.

The moment the Lord of Chaos began to influence the rules governing the universe, the Giant Axe Creator noticed it.

"Chaos, you, what are you doing...?"

The savage giant's eyes were filled with surprise, and his voice trembled slightly.

The Lord of Chaos City did not respond, his eyes were closed, as if he was immersed in some special state.

Seeing this, the Giant Axe Founder dared not disturb them. With a wave of his hand, a magnificent black pyramid palace appeared, sheltering the figure of the Chaos City Lord within.

After a moment, the Lord of Chaos City slowly opened his eyes.

"Chaos, are you about to break through to the True God realm?" the Giant Axe Founder asked.

An excited expression appeared on the face of the Chaos City Lord: "Not bad, I didn't expect that a flash of inspiration would lead to a sudden breakthrough."

Once you reach a certain level, you can transform your divine kingdom into a miniature universe at any time and break through to become the strongest being in the universe.

The Lord of Chaos City has waited for this day for far too long.

He had been stuck at the limit of becoming the Lord of the Universe for countless years, and now he has finally succeeded.

"Have you thoroughly studied the architecture of your miniature universe?" The founder of the Giant Axe immediately thought of this.

"It's no worse than your Giant Axe," the Chaos City Lord laughed heartily.

"Then let's make a breakthrough."

The founder of the giant axe was incredibly excited. "Our human race should welcome its third true god!"

……

Virtual universe, atop the magnificent Thunder Island.

Inside the palace shrouded in endless chaotic energy.

This is the palace of the Chaos City Lord, and it is incredibly lively at this moment. The Chaos City Lord's breakthrough to become the strongest in the universe is a major event for the entire human race.

Although the human race has now dominated the primordial universe, there are still too few strong individuals among the direct descendants of humanity.

"Haha, after the Primordial Ancestor and the Giant Axe, Chaos has also successfully stepped into the realm of the strongest in the universe, and there is also Hunyuan, the invincible one in the universe sea. It seems that the potential of our human race is much greater than that of the Divine Eye Clan."

The Divine Eye Clan produced a total of seven True Gods throughout the entire cycle of reincarnation.

The third cycle of reincarnation has only just begun, spanning three trillion epochs, far less than a third of that time, yet the human race has already produced three true gods.

In the future, no one can say for sure how many true gods will be born among humankind.

"Haha, everyone, raise your glasses to celebrate the human race and to celebrate Chaos!" The savage giant's rough voice echoed.

The temple was filled with various noises, including not only the direct descendants of the human race's universe lords, but also many powerful alien races who were once part of the Hong Alliance, who had now become members of the human race.
