Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 230 Breakthrough to True Godhood, Returning to Origin, and a Shocking Change in the Secret Technique

"Finally, I've broken through to the True God realm!"

Shen Mu spoke with a touch of emotion, feeling the surging, boundless power within his body.

Endless divine power surged within his body, each drop of which was like a universe, reflecting endless time and space, evolving through birth, death, and reincarnation, immortal and indestructible.

To be precise, Shen Mu has not yet broken through, but his divine body has evolved to the Great Perfection of 100,000 times, and he can break through at any time.

Shen Mu felt that the strength of his divine body was comparable to that of a Void True God who had not cultivated any body-refining secret techniques, had no bloodline, and had not followed the genetic evolution path.

Based on the information in the Void Extreme Sect's inheritance, Shen Mu was able to determine just how strong his divine body was.

Generally speaking, before reaching the Chaos Realm, Shen Mu's divine body strength could completely overwhelm those of the same level.

Even at the Chaos Realm, the rarity of the Infinite Divine Body is greatly reduced, which is enough to make Shen Mu's divine body invincible in the Chaos Realm. He can even challenge the God King with his powerful divine body.

At this moment, countless powerful beings in the cosmic sea were shocked and came to their senses.

"The alliance leader must have broken through to the True God realm!"

"Yes, I just don't know what kind of feat the alliance leader has accomplished that has caused such a commotion."

"I don't know. I did learn about the changes that occur when breaking through to true godhood during my training in the world of Jin. But even those who follow the path of divine power don't experience any unusual phenomena."

"Why think so much? The Alliance Leader is the most talented person in the endless dimensions and time and space. Even if he causes any anomalies, I won't be surprised."

"Haha, that's right. The Alliance Leader's realm as a Universe Lord is no weaker than a Void-level expert. Now that he has broken through to True God, he will surely possess strength comparable to the Four Great Generals of the Jin Dynasty!"

"This time, those beasts hiding in the gutter won't be able to cause any more trouble!"

Countless powerful figures in the Cosmic Sea, if not overjoyed, were all delighted to see Shen Mu become even stronger.

Generally speaking, if you are only slightly better than others, they will be jealous, or even hate and plot against you.

But if you are stronger by a certain dimension, they will admire, praise, and even submit to you, and they will hope that you become stronger and stronger.

The powerful beings of the Cosmic Sea probably have this kind of mentality.

……

"Amu, you've broken through?"

Tang Yongqing looked at Shen Mu with a slightly trembling voice.

For some reason, Shen Mu has exuded a special charm ever since his breakthrough.

This charm made her a little...unable to resist.

This is probably the attraction of perfect life to ordinary life; the desire for strength is a primal instinct stemming from our genes.

"Congratulations, Dad, on your breakthrough!"

"Dad, how much stronger are you now than before?"

Shen Mingyue and Shen Qingyang came closer, their eyes sparkling as they stared at Shen Mu, making no attempt to hide their curiosity.

"The breakthrough isn't over yet; we'll know once it's complete."

As Shen Mu was speaking, the other four divine bodies had already rushed towards him.

"According to the description of the 'Copy' talent, my talent secret technique will also be retained after I break through to the True God realm, but I don't know in what way it will be retained."

Shen Mu's breakthrough to True God was no exception; apart from the True Dragon clone, all his other clones would merge into one.

However, Shen Mu was not sure how the clone technique would be preserved after the four divine bodies were combined.

The headquarters of Hongmeng Continent, in a spatial interlayer.

At this moment, all the true gods and cosmic lords of the entire primordial universe arrived.

Even those who had been in seclusion were awakened by the extraordinary phenomenon of Shen Mu achieving a perfect divine body. The divine power fluctuations emanating from numerous powerful individuals caused this spatial interlayer to show signs of collapse.

hum!

A spacetime vortex appeared, and then Shen Mu and Tang Yongqing walked out side by side. Instantly, the gazes of thousands of powerful figures converged on them.

"Senior brother!"

"Alliance Leader!"

"Hunyuan!"

Countless powerful figures gathered around, with Shen Mu's parents at the forefront, along with the Mountain Guest, the Lord of Ice Peak, the Lord of Qianwu Kingdom, and his teacher Hu Yanbo.

Beside many elders were the three brothers from Earth and their contemporaries, such as Chu Qiang from Earth, Rong Jun from the Genius Battle era, and Bo Lan.

Shen Mu exchanged brief pleasantries with the others, then turned his gaze to Teacher Zuoshanke.

"Teacher, I have not let you down; I have made it this far."

Shen Mu's smile was as confident and reserved as ever, giving everyone present a sense of peace and reassurance.

"Break through, child! Let me see just how amazing it is to achieve true godhood with 100,000 times the genetic power." The Mountain Guest looked at Shen Mu with satisfaction.

Shen Mu nodded slightly, his figure transforming into a stream of light and disappearing into his divine realm.

……

The magnificent divine kingdom, spanning tens of thousands of light-years in diameter, was now permeated with a vast and solemn fluctuation of laws.

All life and matter within the entire divine realm had already been transferred out by numerous powerful figures from the Hong Alliance, leaving only the boundless, churning Chaos Sea.

In the center of the chaotic dark sea, an ancient giant tree took root on the ocean, surrounded by a vast domain that even blurred space and time, exhibiting characteristics of the void.

Before long, the figure of the Yan God Clan's clone also arrived in Shen Mu's divine realm.

At this point, apart from the True Dragon clone, all of Shen Mu's divine bodies had gathered together.

"Break it!"

Boom!

The fragile shackles were easily shattered, and the invisible sea of ​​primordial laws descended once more upon the Shenmu Divine Kingdom.

This time, the sea of ​​primordial laws was boundless and vast, seemingly without end, covering an area centered on the Hongmeng headquarters, with a diameter exceeding tens of thousands of light-years.

"This...this is the ocean of laws triggered by the breakthrough?"

"It's this powerful... This surge of energy feels like it could crush my divine body at any moment!"

Many true gods and cosmic lords were dumbfounded, especially the newly promoted cosmic lords whose divine genes were less than ten thousand times stronger. They felt incredibly insignificant in the face of this divine power fluctuation.

With the cooperation of the primordial will of the universe, Shen Mu can fully absorb divine power and complete his transformation.

Of course, the primordial universe's will must also follow the supreme rules, requiring Shen Mu to actively absorb divine power. How much he absorbs within a limited time depends entirely on Shen Mu's abilities.

Wow!

Boundless divine power poured in, devouring this terrifying divine power, and Shen Mu's four divine bodies were all rapidly improving.

The arrival of the primordial law lasted for more than a year.

At the speed at which Shen Mu absorbed divine power, a full year was enough time for all four divine bodies to reach their maximum level.

"The divine power reserves of the four divine bodies are all the same as those of the 12-light-year diameter Nether Sea clone. This is the limit under the rules."

Theoretically speaking, if there were no rules to limit it, the size of a perfect divine body could be expanded indefinitely.

However, theory is just theory. On the Origin Continent, the divine bodies were suppressed by the Origin World, and even a perfect divine body could not have reached its current scale.

"That's settled then. Next, we'll expand the miniature universe!"

With a thought from Shen Mu, the divine kingdom, with a diameter of tens of thousands of light-years, roared.

Amidst the violent upheavals, the previously stagnant boundary of the divine kingdom began to expand rapidly.

Boom!

A void passage appeared, and endless, violent chaotic energy surged into Shen Mu's divine realm, transforming into an energy source for the expansion of a miniature universe.

Expanding from a divine realm to a miniature universe will also take time.

Generally, it takes a few days, but because Shen Mu's divine kingdom far surpasses that of others, he completed the initial expansion in just over three days.

"The diameter has exceeded one hundred million light-years!"

"It's done! It's done!"

When the diameter of the divine kingdom reached one hundred million light-years, the quantitative change triggered a qualitative change. The original membrane of the divine kingdom underwent a transformation, condensing and thickening countless times, forming the cosmic membrane.

"Still expanding, still expanding!"

"The Alliance Leader's miniature universe is indeed different from the miniature universes of other true gods!"

"It's a pity we couldn't enter the Alliance Leader's miniature universe to witness this evolutionary process."

Countless powerful figures stared at the still expanding miniature universe, shouting and yelling, showing no trace of their former strength.

As the miniature universe grows larger, its efficiency in absorbing chaotic energy increases exponentially, thus its expansion rate remains an acceleration.

……

Looking out from afar, one can see a bulge appearing in a corner of the primordial universe.

As time went by, the protrusion grew larger and larger.

Bang!

Like a steel needle puncturing a balloon, standing at a distance, it's as if you're seeing a glass bead detached from the primordial universe.

However, this glass bead is rather large.

Its diameter is exactly one billion light-years, no more and no less.

"A billion light-years!"

"When the Primordial Ancestor achieved the Void level, it was only a little over a billion light-years away."

"The alliance leader truly lives up to his title."

Shen Mu already knew this result, so he wasn't shocked at all.

This is the terrifying aspect of a life gene that is 100,000 times stronger. Whether it is the strength of divine power or the foundation of a small universe, it is comparable to an existence that has just entered the void level.

The news that the entire Cosmic Sea is now under the control of the Hong Alliance spread throughout the entire Hong Alliance almost immediately.

There was absolutely no news from the Purple Moon Holy Land.

After all, the Purple Moon Holy Land is currently preoccupied with its own problems, and the world beasts that are barely surviving in the Cosmic Sea are almost all near the Purple Moon Holy Land, because they have discovered that they will not be attacked by Shen Mu if they devour the origin of the Purple Moon Holy Land.

"The expansion of the universe is complete. The next step is to merge the clones into one and structure the universe."

"Return to the origin, disintegration!"

As Shen Mu's thoughts stirred, the four divine bodies instantly disintegrated, and endless divine power intertwined to condense into a heart.

Within the core of the spaceship, the True Dragon avatar also condensed its own True God Heart at this moment.

The Heart of a True God is the true physical body of a powerful being at the True God level or above, and is somewhat similar to the Primal Core.

"Unity!"

Endless divine power gathered and began to form the figure of Shen Mu.

Before long, a handsome man with black hair and black eyes materialized, his body glowing with a radiant light.

hum!

Countless secret patterns dissipated within Shen Mu's body; these were the eight innate secret techniques that Shen Mu had copied.

However, these secret patterns did not disappear directly, but instead condensed again outside Shen Mu's body.

A faint ray of light emerged from the depths of Shen Mu's soul, forming a strange cube.

The cube emitted a special fluctuation, and under this fluctuation, the secret runes of the innate secret technique extracted from Shen Mu's divine body re-condensed in the void.

Shen Mu felt a faint pull, drawing upon his divine power.

"Do you need my divine power?"

With a thought, Shen Mu released a drop of divine power radiating brilliant light.

Instantly, the eight secret runes seemed to have found a vessel, merging into Shen Mu's drop of divine power.

Boom!

An indescribable power of creation emerged, transforming Shen Mu's drop of divine power.

hum!

In the blink of an eye, this drop of divine power split into eight drops of blood, each with a different color and a different aura.

But without a doubt, the intensity of the fluctuations is at the level of a true god.

"This is... the power of bloodline?"

With the inheritance of the Void Extreme Sect, Shen Mu was naturally able to recognize the power of his bloodline.

Although the eight drops of blood had different auras and colors, they were undoubtedly Shen Mu's own blood, only infused with some bloodline power.

Originating from two ancient kingdoms on the continent, the Yanfeng Kingdom values ​​the lineage of those who attain enlightenment, while the Leiting Kingdom emphasizes the bloodline cultivation system.

Both have their advantages and disadvantages. One has a solid foundation and fewer bottlenecks, while the other has an extremely fast cultivation speed in the early stages and strong combat power.

call out!

The eight drops of blood transformed into a stream of light and returned to Shen Mu's body. Instantly, eight special powers perfectly merged into Shen Mu's divine body.

"A secret innate technique... it has actually been preserved in this form."

Shen Mu sensed the power of eight different bloodlines. Although these eight bloodlines were very weak, only at the level of True Gods, each of them had its own special abilities.

The Devouring Secret Technique evolved into the 'Devouring Dao' bloodline. Its effects and abilities are the same as the original Devouring Secret Technique, granting Shen Mu the ability to devour and rapidly digest all things.

In addition, this bloodline also endowed Shen Mu with an affinity for the Devouring Dao, but the affinity was not high, just like that of ordinary beings who achieved true godhood by relying on the Devouring Dao bloodline.

However, something is better than nothing, and the same goes for other secret techniques.

The teleportation technique evolved into the "Void Path" bloodline, and the ability to teleport in place became the manipulation of void power, allowing one to teleport even in environments similar to the cosmic sea.

The secret technique of clones is to condense a kind of "Creation Dao" bloodline, which not only gives Shen Mu an affinity for the Great Dao of Creation, but also the ability to condense additional True God Hearts.

A true god's heart means that Shen Mu can have an avatar that is exactly the same as his original body.

A True God-level 'Creation Dao' bloodline can condense an additional True God Heart, while a Chaos-level bloodline can condense a second True God Heart.

Only by transforming to the level of a God-King and bearing the perfect "Great Dao of Creation" can one condense the third True God's Heart.

The Spirit Transfer Secret Law evolved into the "Soul Path" bloodline, granting Shen Mu the ability to divide the origin of the soul, as well as a certain degree of soul defense enhancement.

The Divine Eye Secret Technique has also evolved into a kind of "Soul Path" bloodline, but it leans towards the "Illusion" aspect, granting Shen Mu a certain degree of amplification in illusionary attacks and defenses.

The Heart Thunder Secret Technique has also evolved into the 'Soul Path' bloodline, the effect of which is an amplification of willpower, making Shen Mu's willpower more concentrated than that of willpower at the same level, and making the impact of his willpower more intense.

Next is the ability of "immortality," which is a bloodline ability rather than a talent technique. Its effect remains the same, granting Shen Mu additional affinity for the "Immortal Path."

Finally, there is the eighth type, the "Path of Life" bloodline, which grants Shen Mu a more powerful recovery ability. It complements his immortality ability, making Shen Mu's divine power essence even more difficult to erase, and greatly enhancing his defensive capabilities.

All eight bloodlines are basic True God-level bloodlines. If Shen Mu wants to break through in the future, he can also choose to follow the bloodline cultivation system.

As long as one of his bloodlines advances to the Void level, Shen Mu will naturally break through to the Void True God level.

"The bloodline cultivation system can be practiced concurrently, but the primary cultivation position of the Enlightened One path is unshakeable."

"What surprised me was the ability of the Azure Dragon clone."

Shen Mu's gaze traversed endless time and space, landing on the Azure Dragon clone.

The Azure Dragon clone also obtained bloodline power, but it was not one of the eight bloodlines that Shen Mu possessed.

Rather, it possesses the bloodline of the "Order Path," and its abilities are even more extraordinary, granting it powers that are not bound by rules.

Of course, the "Order Path" bloodline at the True God level cannot have too heaven-defying effects. Ignoring the rules of the cosmic sea may not be a big problem, such as the sixth-order restriction in the primordial universe.

But if we're talking about ignoring the supreme rules... perhaps only by advancing to the God-King level would we have a chance.

"The Bloodline of Order must be the effect of my cheat system."

"To plunder the talents and secret techniques of others, and to be able to preserve the effects of those techniques in an alternative way after reaching the True God realm, is itself a violation of the rules."

Saying it violates the rules is a bit of an exaggeration, after all, with Shen Mu's level of cultivation, he can't unleash the true power of his cheat ability.

However, it would be quite apt to say that the "golden finger" is exploiting loopholes in the rules.

Shen Mu originally thought that after becoming a true god, he would be able to understand the true nature of his cheat ability, but now it seems that he was overthinking it.

"I must have had a reason for being able to obtain this golden finger; I don't really believe it's just a coincidence."

"There must be something special about me that gave me this golden touch."

As he grew stronger, Shen Mu began to speculate about the origins of his cheat system.

Perhaps I am a test subject for some powerful lord?

Countless possibilities surged in Shen Mu's mind, forming billions of thoughts in an instant.

After a moment, Shen Mu slowly shook his head and looked into the distance: "Fortune and misfortune are intertwined. Thinking too much is useless. Improving our strength is the right path."

"Let's begin the final evolution."

Shen Mu can only be considered a pseudo-god now, because his miniature universe has not yet been structured and has not undergone chaotic evolution.

As the miniature universe began its final evolution, Shen Mu's consciousness also entered a state of chaotic evolution.

The vast and boundless laws of chaos... at this moment, shed their 'clothing' before Shen Mu, revealing the 'delicate body' hidden beneath the surface.
