Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 223 Those who hear me recite the sutra will see eternal life in the cycle of reincarnation.

Second-tier world beasts are not weak; their attack power is comparable to that of a ninth-tier true god.

If we take into account the restraint that the power of the Realm Beast has on divine power and its special soul attack, even a top-tier ninth-order True God would be helpless against a second-order Realm Beast.

However, none of this mattered to Shen Mu.

It should be noted that ordinary True Gods numbering in the tens of thousands are enough to fight against Void True Gods. However, with the blessing of the 'Taiyi God', Shen Mu's basic power is sufficient to reach the peak level of Void True Gods.

In terms of realm comprehension, Shen Mu has also truly stepped into the thirteenth level, and naturally he can comprehend the fourth level of the Chaos Golden Wings' secret runes.

With sufficient basic strength and comprehension, Shen Mu naturally wouldn't encounter the situation of Luo Feng in the original work, who, despite having fully comprehended the fourth level of the Chaos Golden Wings, was unable to unleash the "One Thought Creates the Universe".

Although it was only a simplified version of the One Thought Universe Formation, it was enough to suppress a mere juvenile world beast to death.

"Secret Technique, Supreme Mind Tribulation!"

"Secret Technique, Three Mind Seals!"

Shen Mu's voice contained endless and unique Daoist charm. The second-tier world beast, whose will was suppressed, had no means of resistance and was immersed in the void of illusion.

Chi!

A sound like water poured on a raging fire emanated from the Beast's body, and Shen Mu's ethereal divine power invaded the Beast's body in an instant.

The two opposing forces collided like matter and antimatter, directly canceling each other out and annihilating each other.

"No, if this continues, before I can successfully enslave it, this Beast will completely evaporate into nothingness."

"Does one have to possess a hundred thousand times the perfect divine power, like Luo Feng in the original story, to enslave the world beasts?"

Shen Mu remembered clearly that in the original timeline, during the process of Luo Feng enslaving the world beasts, there was also a situation where divine power and the power of the world beasts annihilated each other.

Ultimately, Luo Feng used the "formless and shapeless" characteristic of his 100,000 times divine body to transform his divine power into the power of the World Beast, and then successfully completed the enslavement.

From this perspective, it seems that enslaving world beasts requires a divine body that is "ten thousand times" stronger.

But this is obviously impossible, because there are precedents of enslaving world beasts on the Origin Continent, and there is even a living 'God King Realm' world beast king.

If nothing unexpected happens, Luo Feng should be the first "100,000 times perfect divine body" on the Origin Continent. Of course, there may be some information that Shen Mu does not know.

In short, the 'Heavenly Wood God King' who enslaved the Beast King was definitely not a perfect divine body ten thousand times greater, but he still managed to enslave the Beast King.

"Never mind, let's suppress them completely first."

"We'll study it later."

With a wave of his hand, Shen Mu sent the universe in his palm swiftly transforming into a stream of light that disappeared into a palace within the Jade Capital.

While Shen Mu was suppressing the second-tier world beast, the entire world beast's nest was alarmed.

After all, Shen Mu had just made quite a commotion, directly using "One Thought Creates a Universe" to condense a miniature universe with a diameter of tens of thousands of light-years.

This level of activity could be detected in any corner of the entire dimly lit place.

"What happened?!"

"That's...some space food has wandered in!"

"Impossible! How could those creatures in the cosmic sea possess such immense power?"

"Who cares? Eating him will definitely allow me to evolve to the third tier!"

"By then, neither Mohe nor Bedi will be able to do anything to me!"

The Beasts of the Realm share a special mental network that allows them to communicate.

Therefore, the moment Shen Mu took action, the relevant information had already spread to every realm beast.

In an instant, countless Beasts rushed toward Shen Mu.

Whoosh!

Hundreds of black streaks of light appeared near Shen Mu's Baiyujing in an instant.

Then hundreds of ferocious world beasts with similar appearances emerged, most of them possessing first-tier auras, with only a few being second-tier world beasts.

As for third-tier world beasts, there weren't any.

In the entire Beast Nest, there are now only a handful of third-tier Beasts, and not a single fourth-tier Beast.

"Be careful! This cosmic sea creature has suppressed 'Zhao'; we are no match for it!"

"It's him! He's the 'Lord of Chaos,' the strongest being in the Universe Sea! We can't be careless!"

"Morosa, do you recognize this cosmic sea creature?"

"That's right, it's the message that King Zhenjia sent back then. This Lord Hunyuan already possessed the power of a true god more than 60 million years ago."

"However, with the fall of King Zhenjia and the other two, I now understand just how powerful this 'Lord of Chaos' truly is!"

Upon hearing this, the other beasts became even more wary and began asking Morosa for detailed information about Shen Mu.

This includes the fact that when Shen Mu was over 100,000 years old, he already possessed invincible combat power at the True God realm. Now, 70 million years later, he must possess power surpassing that of a True God.

Only when the Beast race evolves to the fourth rank do they possess the ability to suppress a tenth-rank True God.

However, even a fourth-tier world beast is far from being a match for a Void True God. If it evolves into a fifth-tier world beast, it will be comparable to a normal Void True God.

If one were to unleash a destructive secret technique at a great cost, it would be comparable to a strike from a peak-level Void True God.

In the blink of an eye, these hundreds of Beasts completed the communication, learned detailed information about Shen Mu, and broadcast it to each Beast through the mental network.

"Let's wait for Mohe and Bedi first."

"All we need to do is stop them and prevent this cosmic sea life from escaping!"

"That's right. Even if we are no match for this 'Cosmic Sea Food' in a one-on-one fight, with enough allies and a combined attack, we will surely kill it!"

In the Jade Palace, a long sword appeared in Shen Mu's palm. This was not a single weapon, but a weapon formed by the sixth pair of white wings driven by the "source energy" of the Chaos Golden Wings.

In terms of power, as Shen Mu comprehended the fourth level of the Chaos Golden Wings, the weapon he condensed was comparable to the 'Pseudo-Eternal Divine Weapon'.

"Swordsmanship, the end of life!"

The emerald radiance, representing the fluctuations of the very essence of life, swept outwards, containing an indescribable surge of vitality.

However, this fluctuation of vitality was releasing an extremely powerful killing force.

Back when Shen Mu first comprehended the Heart of the Beast God, he was no longer limited to the transformation of weapons; he could perfectly unleash his secret techniques with any weapon.

Of course, even a powerful figure like the founder of the giant axe, who specializes in comprehending the "Way of the Axe," can only unleash his full combat power when using axe-type weapons, even if he has grasped the heart of the Beast God.

Clang!

A resounding sword cry echoed throughout the dimly lit land, and the sword's will, as if tearing apart the universe, swept out, instantly engulfing the world beasts.

The void was as fragile as a sieve at this moment, and time itself was cut off by this sword.

Even though the power of the Beast Realm is completely different from the divine body of the True God, it must still abide by the supreme rules.

Under the sword light that stripped away the power of life, more than half of the six hundred-plus world beasts perished directly, without even having time to put up a fight.

"Retreat immediately!"

"Be careful!"

The remaining Beasts were terrified and quickly fled into the distance.

However, just as they were fleeing in panic, they saw that the large army of Beasts from afar had arrived.

Countless streams of black light intertwined to form waves of crimson light, each wave carrying tens of thousands of world beasts.

Beasts are incredibly proud creatures, and they cannot tolerate Shen Mu's act of directly storming their lair.

"That's enough, Lord Hunyuan."

Among the countless Beasts of the Realm, the three largest and most imposing Beasts spoke first.

"Join forces!"

"Kill him!"

"Annihilate the soul of this wretched food!"

Tens of thousands of world beasts slowly opened their mouths, and special soul sound waves spread out.

These soul sound waves merged together, forming an endless tide that swept towards Shen Mu's soul.

A piercing shriek rang in Shen Mu's ears as tens of thousands of world beasts launched a joint soul attack, led by three third-tier world beasts.

Ordinary Void Gods can only dodge and cannot withstand attacks of this level.

Because the consequence of stubbornly resisting is almost certain annihilation of the soul!

"Is this all the power you've got to call a soul attack?"

A smile appeared on Shen Mu's face, and a crystal-clear pearl appeared on his head at some unknown time.

The jewel emitted a soft, faint glow, appearing quite dim and inconspicuous to the naked eye.

But in the perception of the soul, it was not a dim jewel at all, but a vast and boundless sun, as large as the universe!

The sun shone with a dazzling brilliance, making everything else pale in comparison.

In terms of willpower, Shen Mu has reached the limit of the Eternal Realm, further enhanced by his supreme mental state. Even a newly born Beast King is inferior to him.

In terms of soul defense, the primordial embryos 'True Spirit Orb' and 'Taiyi God', which have evolved to the Void level, can significantly weaken soul attacks, and these effects can be stacked.

In addition, Shen Mu himself had extremely high attainments in the Dao of Souls and attached great importance to his own soul defense.

With multiple weakening effects, this soul attack, which would be enough to make even a Void God fear, could be ignored by Shen Mu, if not impossible to withstand.

"impossible!"

"He... he actually took it head-on!"

"This isn't right. Could there be an error in the description of the combined attack technique's power in the bloodline inheritance?"

The tens of thousands of world beasts were stunned, and the three third-tier world beasts were probably the quickest to react.

After discovering that Shen Mu was ignoring their soul attacks, he directly burned his own foundation and unleashed a special spacetime travel technique.

In an instant, they vanished into the darkness, and even Shen Mu's soul perception could not detect the existence of these three world beasts, clearly indicating that they had already fled far away.

"That was a quick reaction."

Shen Mu's gaze fell upon the countless world beasts before him. The True Spirit Pearl above his head underwent a change, its endless clear light intertwining to transform into an ancient Dao Bell.

when!

The deep, resonant sound of the bell echoed, ancient and weathered, giving one the illusion that the sound of the great bell seemed to have traveled from time immemorial to the present!

"Those who hear me recite scriptures will see eternal life in the cycle of reincarnation..."

The serene light of the soul coalesced behind Shen Mu into a compassionate Buddha-like phantom, reciting ancient scriptures and displaying an expression of pity for all humanity.

The mysterious sound of scriptures, accompanied by the tolling of ancient bells, spread outwards.

"Oh no, little..."

A second-tier world beast sensed the danger and immediately sent a telepathic message.

But the chanting spread so quickly that it seemed to transcend the limitations of time and space.

Even with the speed at which the Beast of the Realm could process thoughts, it was unable to complete the telepathic communication, and the vertical pupils on its two heads immediately showed expressions of terror.

The next instant, the soul fluctuations within the beast's body completely dissipated, and it collapsed, falling from mid-air to the ground.

Swish, swish, swish...

Centered on Shen Mu, waves of world beasts fell to the ground, all of whom were saved by Shen Mu.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Mu's chanting had spread to tens of thousands of light-years away.

At this range, the power is greatly weakened and can no longer instantly annihilate the souls of these world beasts.

However, within this area spanning tens of thousands of light-years, tens of millions of world beasts have already gathered.

These tens of millions of world beasts, without exception, all died with their souls annihilated.

For a moment, the entire dimly lit place was filled with an atmosphere of sympathy for one another.

With a wave of his hand, Shen Mu collected the corpses of countless world beasts.

This time, there is no shortage of materials for studying the life structure of the beast realm.

"Killing tens of millions of Realm Beasts at once should significantly accelerate their evolution."

"I hope you won't let me down."

Shen Mu chuckled softly, his voice echoing throughout the dimly lit place.

As Shen Mu's laughter faded, Bai Yujing, shimmering with celestial light, vanished from its spot, leaving behind only a mess.

Long after Shen Mu left, countless hidden Beasts cautiously emerged to explore.

"That jinx is finally gone!"

"Cosmic sea creatures, their destiny is to be devoured by us... How could it be, how could it be!!"

"Kill him, we must kill him, devour his miniature universe's essence. Once his miniature universe's essence collapses, he'll be finished!"

"But... that Lord of Chaos is merely a lord of the universe; he doesn't possess any smaller universes. How could he devour them?"

The numerous beasts of the realm were filled with grief and indignation.

Suddenly, a voice rang out in the mind network of the Beast Realm.

"Everyone, I am Mohe!"

"The lair is no longer safe!"

"Unless we evolve to the fifth or even sixth tier, we have no power to resist that Lord of Chaos."

"So we abandoned our nest and headed to the Cosmic Sea!"

Mohe's suggestion instantly garnered the approval of countless Beasts of the Realm.

The Beasts of the Realm are not stupid; they can naturally understand Mohe's thoughts.

"The universe is vast. As long as we hide, even the Lord of Chaos Origin will not be able to discover us all."

"Indeed, and with abundant food in the cosmic ocean, our evolution will be even faster."

"Of course, this will also make our demise even faster."

No matter how many world beasts perish, even if a billion world beasts die and only one first-tier world beast remains.

Then this last surviving Tier 1 World Beast will directly evolve into a World Beast King.

This is the ironclad rule of fate for the Beast Clan; the birth of the Beast King is predetermined.

……

On this day, Shen Mu returned to the primordial universe with his spoils of war.

On this very day, hundreds of millions of world beasts were unleashed, sweeping across the entire cosmic sea.

Although the Beasts of the Realm are arrogant, they still know too little about the Cosmic Sea, so no one dares to make a move.

In the endless cosmic sea, amidst the vast and chaotic mist, every hidden place became their temporary lair.

The great calamity of the cosmic sea has entered its final stage of preparation.
