Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 216 Suppressing the Void True God, the Mystery of the Great Dao of Life

Deep within the endless tide of strange beasts, a massive, majestic, and ferocious beast slowly poked its head out.

This strange beast's divine body is nearly 10 billion kilometers long. In the entire Jin world, apart from the Eternal True God, a divine body of this scale can be considered to be in the first tier.

This Void God-level beast is entirely black, with the size of a giant lizard, but its appearance resembles a centipede. It has thousands of legs and possesses extremely strong venomous attack capabilities.

"It's the Centipede Poison King. We're in trouble this time."

Cheng Ling's imposing divine body tensed, and a look of apprehension appeared in his eyes.

Under the Gu-raising model, the Void Gods born in the Jin world are generally stronger than the Void Gods on the Origin Continent.

Even ordinary Void Gods have generally touched upon the mysteries of the Great Dao of Origin; whether they have crossed the threshold is another matter.

The Thousand-Legged Poison King, one of the three leaders of the Nine Smoke Marsh, was a being who had comprehended a wisp of the profound mystery of the Dao of Poison, and was even stronger than Cheng Ling.

Its poisonous laws can easily erode the divine bodies of Void True Gods, and even those Void True Gods who follow the divine power path dare not underestimate it.

"Leave this centipede king to me. Chief Chengling can lead his people to slaughter the other beasts."

As Shen Mu spoke, the Taiyi Divine Armor on his body began to change.

The gleaming golden armor seemed to melt, forming endless chaotic divine light that instantly coalesced into a giant god with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes.

Behind this towering colossus, concentric rings of divine wheels rippled outwards. At the center of these rings, a cosmic phantom filled with endless mental thunder slowly coalesced, like a vertical eye opening its eyes.

Generally speaking, the combined attack of thousands of fourth-order universe lords is barely equivalent to the attack of a tenth-order true god.

Of course, the tenth-order true god here refers to the tenth-order true god in the cosmic sea whose divine power is suppressed.

However, the full power of a strike from over a thousand top-tier sixth-order universe lords is comparable to that of a top-tier tenth-order true god in his prime.

Shen Mu's Taiyi God is driven by the combined power of tens of thousands of external avatars at the sixth level.

Even without the blessing of the Taiyi God, the power of the combined attack technique alone is enough to rival that of a top-tier tenth-order true god who uses the divine power burning secret technique, which is a pseudo-void realm expert.

However, this does not mean that tens of thousands of pseudo-true gods can challenge Void-level powerhouses.

Even the weakest Void God can easily suppress a Pseudo-God with a single thought of the Void, leaving the Pseudo-God unable to resist.

Generally speaking, it takes thousands to tens of thousands of True Gods joining forces to fight against a Void True God; Pseudo True Gods are far too weak in comparison.

"This is... a supreme treasure of the Void True God-level Legion?"

When the clan chief Cheng Ling saw Shen Mu's Taiyi God, he was shocked.

This prince actually carries with him an elite legion of at least tens of thousands of True Gods, using this to power such a Void True God-level legion treasure... It's too outrageous.

Boom!

The void seemed to fold at that moment, and Shen Mu teleported instantly, and the towering Thousand-Handed Giant God appeared directly in the endless dark beast tide.

"roar!"

"A Legion-themed treasure, a Legion-themed treasure!"

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

Before the endless beasts could react, a strange wave spread out, space and time shifted, and everything became blurred.

With a thought, the void domain expanded, allowing Shen Mu to instantly suppress countless alien beasts at the level of True Gods and Universe Lords within a thousand light-years.

boom!

Boom!

Giant hands slammed down, their endless, intricate patterns intertwining and evolving to form countless palm lines, which then coalesced into cosmic phantoms that crashed down.

Bang, bang, bang!

With a single, casual strike, thousands of figures crumbled, their divine power annihilated by this unparalleled force and dissolved into the void.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of thousands of lives were annihilated, the weakest of whom were fourth-order universe lord level alien beasts, including hundreds of true gods.

If these hundreds of thousands of fourth-tier beasts were to combine their power for a single strike, its might would indeed be comparable to a casual strike by Shen Mu wielding the Taiyi God.

But what's the use of that? In actual combat, it can only be one-sided, unless the opponent also has a Legion-style mechanical Arcana.

A tiger enters a flock of sheep, the strange beasts howl in despair, the sun shines fiercely, and the remaining snow melts.

"Damn it! Your Xuanyu Mountain actually has a Legion-style treasure!!"

The Thousand-Legged Poison King was shocked and furious. In just an instant, nearly one-tenth of the millions of alien beasts he led perished!

"Insects, come and fight me!"

The majestic giant god uttered a thunderous sound that shook the endless void.

Countless strange beasts, upon hearing this sound, bled from multiple orifices and died as their souls collapsed.

"Give me the town!"

The Thousand-Legged Poison King was surrounded by endless poisonous mist, which, combined with the void of a single thought, evolved into a poisonous space-time, preventing Shen Mu from continuing his massacre.

"What's the use of stopping me!"

Shen Mu's mocking voice echoed within Taiyi Divine Realm. Just as Shen Mu was speaking, the old patriarch of the Xuanling tribe led the warriors of the Xuanling tribe out to fight.

Although the number of the Law Lords and True Gods of the Xuanling Tribe is far less than that of the beast army led by the Thousand-Legged Poison King.

However, with a Void-level expert manifesting as a spearhead, directly plunging into the endless beast tide, countless alien beasts were unable to form an effective combined attack.

On the contrary, the more than 100,000 warriors of the Xuanling tribe, who were at the level of Law Masters, formed neat military formations and unleashed combined attack techniques from within the army, resulting in a near one-sided massacre on the battlefield.

The Thousand-Legged Poison King instantly became enraged and wanted to go to the main battlefield, but Shen Mu easily stopped him.

Endless verdant vitality surged forth, coalescing into a dazzling spear, wielded by the towering giant god, and positioned before the Thousand-Legged Poison King.

"You should worry about yourself; it's your destiny to perish today!"

Clang!

The endless spear light seemed to tear the universe apart, and within its emerald glow was a power that could rob life.

This is Shen Mu's understanding of the fundamental Dao of life, the mystery of 'spirituality of life'.

The spirituality of life is the biggest difference between living and non-living things.

Sensing this terrifying fluctuation, the Thousand-Legged Poison King instantly conjured thousands of longswords within his thousand legs.

"Eight Thousand Blades, Poisonous Fall!"

Boom!

Eight thousand blades of light instantly overlapped, and driven by the divine power burning secret technique, they tore apart Shen Mu's void and collided head-on with Shen Mu's spear light.

The purple glow and the emerald light reflected each other, illuminating the sky within tens of thousands of light-years, and from a distance it looked as if two universes had collided in a destructive collision!

Battles at the Void True God level are incredibly dangerous. In just a short while, Shen Mu and this Thousand-Legged Poison King exchanged blows hundreds of millions of times.

There are endless energy and matter intertwining and disintegrating, and even scenes similar to the singularity eruption that evolves the universe.

However, their energy levels were not high enough to generate a true universe. The mass-energy singularity that erupted was completely burned up in an instant, turning into endless energy and dissipating.

"Damn it, explode!"

The Thousand-Legged Poison King was in a great hurry. If he did not escape quickly, his army of millions of alien beasts would be completely annihilated by the Void True God and the Commander of the Army Formation of the Xuanling Tribe in less than half a day.

"Burn, burn again!"

The Thousand-Legged Poison King frantically burned his divine power, but instead of retaliating directly, he was preparing to launch a counterattack. His divine power burning technique blazed fiercely, burning his divine body as he dodged Shen Mu's spear light.

Eight thousand strangely shaped blades emitted ripples of void energy, each blade transforming into a phantom that seemed to cleave the sky.

The eight thousand phantoms merged into one, crashing down on Shen Mu with an earth-shattering force.

In this attack, the Thousand-Legged Poison King truly fought desperately, burning nearly 20% of his divine power. In the end, he could barely control himself and unleashed the attack.

Boom!

A massive temporal storm swept across the area, tearing apart endless energy. The aftershocks alone instantly shattered the two people's spatial domains, spreading outwards to a range of tens of thousands of light-years, turning it into a desolate wasteland.

The Thousand-Legged Poison King had no intention of killing Shen Mu, nor even of harming him.

Because he knew very well that he had no power to shake the Void-level large-scale mechanical treasure.

Even among Eternal True Gods, only those at the pinnacle of Eternal True Gods like the Four Generals could easily destroy Void-level large-scale legion treasures.

Therefore, the Thousand-Legged Poison King's only goal was to escape, then gather up the endless beasts and retreat hastily.

"You old thief, Cheng Ling, stop right there!"

The endless poisonous substances coalesced into thousands of poisonous spears, instantly piercing Cheng Ling's chest.

A decaying, annihilating wave spread out, completely engulfing the old patriarch's manifested divine body.

"Huh? This old thief isn't wearing Void-level armor!"

"Hahaha, dead! His true god's heart was completely annihilated! Hahaha!"

"Next comes the destruction of your Xuanyu Mountain! Fall from grace!"

An endless cloud of poisonous mist spread out, spreading like the tolling of death's bell.

As the poisonous fog swept out, countless Law Masters and True Gods were almost instantly eroded and killed beyond any hope of survival.

The poisonous mist that could threaten even a Void God would be fatal to a Lord of Law or a True God, even if it was just a wisp.

It would take a lot of effort for an ordinary Void-level powerhouse to slaughter a large number of True Gods and Law Lords.

But for a powerful individual who walks the path of poison, crushing novices is a natural fit for their profession.

"Have you killed enough?"

A voice, seemingly from the heavens, roused the Thousand-Legged Poison King from his ecstatic reverie.

"Um?"

The Thousand-Legged Poison King was stunned for a moment, and then waves of excruciating pain from the damage to his soul swept over his entire body. The whole world began to become unreal, and then collapsed.

It was all an illusion.

……

Endless auspicious light surged, and countless auspicious colors intertwined, reflecting a majestic celestial palace in the sky, attracting the attention of countless people.

Inside the Jade Capital, Shen Mu sat upright on the imperial throne, his gaze sweeping over the Heavenly Prison.

At this moment, the Thousand-Legged Poison King, whose soul was damaged, slowly opened his eyes. After realizing his predicament, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

"Impossible! I didn't detect any illusion attack at all! Impossible!"

"It's all fake, fake!"

"My will has reached the peak of the Void level. Apart from the four generals casting illusions, no one else could make me so unaware that I've been hit."

"It must be fake!"

The Thousand-Legged Poison King, with its black, armored body resembling a giant centipede, was attempting to shake the Heavenly Prison, its thousands of tentacles frantically unleashing various secret techniques to bombard it.

But the result left it in despair; this strange palace-like treasure was of an unbelievably high quality.

Even with its full strength, it couldn't shake this palace-type treasure in the slightest, not even the slightest tremor. It is very likely an eternal palace-type treasure.

"It seems that ordinary Void Gods have no power to resist me."

Shen Mu underestimated the power of his ultimate technique, "Supreme Heart Tribulation".

With the support of the Taiyi God and the legion-style tactics, Shen Mu's basic strength was terrifyingly high. The soul attacks unleashed by his ethereal divine power were in no way weaker than the soul attacks of a Void True God.

The "Supreme Heart Tribulation" unleashed with this technique is enough to silently trap any Void Realm expert without an eternal level of will into an illusion.

Ordinary twelfth-order soul techniques naturally do not possess such abilities, and even thirteenth-order illusion techniques would struggle to achieve this.

However, Shen Mu is someone who has comprehended the essence of the soul and stepped onto the Great Dao of the Soul. He possesses the skill to break through soul defenses with minimal effort.

Unless the opponent's willpower is higher than his, they will all be more or less succumb to his illusions for a moment.

In a battle at the Void level, the outcome is completely predetermined the moment one's consciousness is controlled by illusion.

"The war is over."

Shen Mu's gaze fell on the main battlefield, which was now nearing its end.

The countless beast armies were routed, and Cheng Ling, the true god of the void, pressed his advantage, leading a large number of his people in pursuit of the beasts.

Junior Brother Luo Feng naturally blended in, searching for powerful True God-level beasts, battling and fighting each other, and even directly revealing the massive divine body of the Golden Horned Beast to wreak havoc.

Shen Mu had no interest in continuing to hunt down these weak lives.

"This commotion will likely attract the attention of the four generals soon."

"If given the chance, I could witness the power of the Eternal God."

at the same time.

In the cosmic sea, a magnificent cosmic vessel sails through endless chaotic mist.

At the core of the spaceship, the Azure Dragon clone slowly opened its eyes.

"This is the spirituality of life... The fusion of will with the primordial universe provides an immense boost to the understanding of the Great Dao of Life."

"In the short term, we can focus on comprehending the Great Way of Life."

"However, we cannot give up on the path of the soul. Although the path of the soul is difficult, it is the ultimate path that leads directly to transcending the shackles of the mortal world."

With the support of a million times the speed of time flow, the Azure Dragon clone has been researching the mysteries of the Great Dao of the Origin of Life.

"With a deeper understanding of the spirituality of life, perhaps I can try to evolve my divine power next."

……

Enabling the evolution of life's genes is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

Even though Shen Mu had gained a considerable understanding of the Great Dao of Life, he still needed to delve into the structure of life genes.

However, with the Great Dao of Life as a foundation, the efficiency of studying gene architecture is more than trillions of times faster.

While Shen Mu was immersed in the research of life genes—

The news that a new Void God had emerged in the Xuanling Tribe and had suppressed the Thousand-Legged Poison King had finally reached the eyes of the high-ranking military leaders of the Jin World.
