Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 231 Chaotic Evolution, Chaotic Realm Techniques

Boom!

Within a miniature universe with a diameter of one billion light-years, spacetime is carved out.

These spaces and times operate in a specific way every minute and every second. The channels of many spaces and times intertwine to form a complex secret pattern, just like the most complex Rhinoceros King's Formation.

In the origin of the universe, endless primordial energy evolves into countless points of light, like endless stars.

Countless stars revolve around the central source, with black and white threads emanating from each star.

These threads also form complex structures, resembling the primordial universe or a dark place... yet they are not entirely the same, like a combination of the two, containing supreme mysteries.

This is Shen Mu's architecture, which includes both the Primordial Architecture of the Beginning of Oneness and the Return to the Void Architecture of the End of All Realms.

Shen Mu named it the "birth, death, cycle of reincarnation, formation, existence, decay, and emptiness" framework.

As the cosmic structure evolved, the mysterious laws of chaos emerged, driving this process.

The laws are rapidly evolving, starting from the laws of chaos and peeling away to evolve into fundamental laws such as metal, wood, water, time, and space. These laws are also mixed and merged to form complex layers of integrated laws.

This process occurred within Shen Mu's miniature universe, which is equivalent to happening within Shen Mu's body.

Shen Mu had never felt such a strong connection to the fundamental laws before. He even felt that at this moment, he had completely become the embodiment of the laws.

All the laws and changes were incredibly intuitive and clear, as if they didn't require any comprehension at all, directly revealing the deepest mysteries, requiring only that Shen Mu remember and understand them.

Breaking through from the Lord of the Universe to become a True God is the greatest opportunity for enlightenment and advancement.

Even if one becomes a Void God or an Eternal God in the future, and the miniature universe expands and evolves again, there will never be such an opportunity again.

Shen Mu didn't deliberately try to comprehend the most basic principles of fusion such as metal void, wind void, wood time, and light time; he naturally grasped them all in the process.

Next comes the second stage of the fusion law, which is the fusion of three laws, totaling 136 kinds.

The difficulty of comprehending it is thousands of times greater than that of the first stage of the fusion law, and there are also many more.

To understand the laws of fusion, there are nine stages depending on the number of elements fused according to the laws.

The difficulty of comprehending the laws of fusion increases exponentially at each stage. This is one of the reasons why the number of Chaos Realm cultivators on the Origin Continent is extremely small and their status is incredibly high.

Shen Mu's consciousness was completely immersed in it, and he seemed to have thoroughly understood the mysteries and commonalities of various laws.

In this state, Shen Mu even felt that comprehending and integrating the laws was like building with blocks.

Different building blocks, combined in different ways, create different results.

Shen Mu's own insights were increasing at an alarming rate, and countless mysteries and doubts were being resolved in this state.

In terms of comprehension, Shen Mu is in no way inferior to anyone.

The original ancestor, during the stage of the Lord of the Universe, only created a sixth-order secret technique. However, during the process of chaotic evolution, it was raised by four orders, reaching the tenth order.

As for the top level of the tenth rank, that was something the Primordial Ancestor gradually comprehended after becoming a True God.

Of course, this "gradual enlightenment" is only relative to the original ancestor himself.

In just a few hundred billion epochs, he raised his realm from the tenth rank to the top of the tenth rank, enough to make those true gods who had made almost no progress in a whole cycle of reincarnation die of shame.

Shen Mu, in terms of both comprehension and foundation, far surpassed the original ancestor during the era of the Lord of the Universe.

In terms of secret techniques, the two major secret techniques at the thirteenth level, the soul secret technique "Supreme Heart Tribulation" and the spear technique "Life and Death Reincarnation", both contain endless mysteries.

Shen Mu has already created dozens of sets of the twelfth-tier secret techniques, and it would be easy for him to continue creating them, but there's no need for that anymore.

Even Luo Feng in the original work, at the level of the Lord of the Universe, only created two sets of ordinary eighth-order secret techniques.

This is almost six realms lower than Shen Mu's. You have to know that the further you go, the more difficult each realm becomes, sometimes thousands or even tens of thousands of times more difficult than the previous one.

With such a vast foundation, coupled with Shen Mu's comprehension that is second to none, Shen Mu's realm is improving at an incredible pace.

The thirteenth tier, the fourteenth tier, the fifteenth tier...

……

After a long while, the rumbling within Shen Mu's miniature universe gradually subsided.

The turbulent spacetime stabilized, and the endless anomalies were completely contained.

Shen Mu, who was immersed in enlightenment, slowly opened his eyes, and countless cosmic phantoms were reflected in his eyes.

"Phew... Such a great harvest, it has not disappointed my expectations for the evolution of chaos."

Shen Mu looked out of the primordial universe. At this moment, all the powerful beings in the entire universe sea had gathered outside the primordial universe. Thousands of true gods and tens of thousands of universe lords were all looking forward to it.

"Why isn't the Alliance Leader's chaotic evolution over yet?"

"Yeah, this takes way too long."

"That's normal. The Alliance Leader's miniature universe is too large, and the time it takes to evolve is probably longer than the time it takes for a typical True God to achieve enlightenment. Don't be impatient."

"I wonder how high the Alliance Leader's cultivation level will rise this time."

Many true gods communicated and transmitted their thoughts to each other, expressing great anticipation for Shen Mu's breakthrough to the true god level.

Among them, the most eagerly awaiting were Shen Mu's relatives and friends, Luo Feng and Zuo Shan Ke.

They knew Shen Mu's realm before his breakthrough: a top-tier thirteenth-order Universe Lord, unprecedented in the history of the Origin Continent.

If a divine body with 100,000 times the genetic power is still a legend on the Origin Continent, then an existence like a 13th-order Universe Lord is not even daring to be spread like that.

Because this is too outrageous.

An eighth-order universe master will inevitably reach the Chaos Realm as long as they don't die.

There are only a few suspected cases of a ninth-order universe master in the entire Origin Continent.

No one has verified these rumors, but the protagonists of these rumors are indeed exceptionally talented, and each of them has become a god-king or emperor.

As for the tenth-order universe master, that's already a legend, a legend comparable to a genetic god body ten thousand times stronger.

Suddenly, Shen Mu's figure appeared out of thin air.

This time, the spacetime of the Cosmic Sea did not fluctuate, and even the Mountain-Sitting Guest did not notice the change in spacetime.

"Alliance Leader!"

"Congratulations on your breakthrough, Alliance Leader!"

Countless true gods were startled by Shen Mu's sudden appearance and rushed to congratulate him.

Only the Mountain-Sitting Guest looked at Shen Mu with some suspicion, sensing the power of the Void Dao bloodline on Shen Mu.

When did the creatures of the cosmic sea acquire the power of bloodlines?

It is important to know that the primordial universe exerted tremendous pressure on the reproduction of life. Species with more than ten times the genetic diversity could not reproduce normally, let alone those with the power of bloodlines.

Like the beings in his world of Jin, even the weakest possess immortal-level bloodlines, so their children can naturally grow into immortals even without cultivation or training.

The bloodline fluctuations within Shen Mu's body are likely at the True God level. On the Origin Continent, this is the guarantee for adulthood and advancement to True God.

While this level of bloodline is relatively common in the Origin Continent, it's not exactly ubiquitous.

It should be known that for beings with the bloodline of true gods, breaking through to the Void True God realm is not too difficult as long as they cultivate diligently; it is at least much simpler than for beings in the Cosmic Sea to become Cosmic Venerables.

"Senior brother, how's the effect of the Chaos Evolution?" Luo Feng asked curiously as he approached.

The two brothers, Hong and Lei Shen, who were standing nearby, were also interested in this topic, but they didn't ask directly.

Beside the three, powerful members of the human race, such as the Primordial Ancestor and the Giant Axe, as well as their mentors, such as the Mountain-Sitting Guest and the Lord of the Ice Peak, also looked at Shen Mu expectantly.

"Not bad, I can easily create a top-tier 17th-level secret technique."

"With just a little time to reflect and digest this sudden surge of insight, creating a Chaos-level technique shouldn't be difficult."

Generally speaking, by creating a fourteenth-order secret technique and comprehending even a wisp of the mystery of any fundamental Dao, one can break through to the level of an Eternal True God.

The realm of the Eternal True God is from the peak of the fourteenth level to the peak of the seventeenth level.

As for Chaos-level techniques, they are also known as the eighteenth-order secret techniques.

If one possesses the realm of the eighteenth level and comprehends the laws of chaos, then one can break through to the Chaos Realm and be granted the title of Marquis or Saint!

Chaos-level secret technique!

Upon hearing this, most of the true gods present were puzzled and curious.

Only those who received profound ancient guidance and a few peak experts from the cosmic sea showed expressions of shock.

There is not a single being like this in the entire Jin world—a being at the Chaos Realm.

Moreover, since it originated from the Jin world, no eternal true god has ever broken through to the Chaos Realm here.

It's not that they lack the qualifications, but rather that they are limited by the world of Jin.

In this world evolved from the heart of a true god, the perception of the laws of chaos is far less than that of the Origin Continent, which is much better than the environment of the Cosmic Sea.

Even with sufficient talent, comprehending the laws of chaos within the world of Jin is an extremely difficult task.

Luo Feng couldn't help but ask, "So, Senior Brother only needs to comprehend the Laws of Chaos to break through to the Saintly Realm?"

Shen Mu shook his head with a helpless smile: "The laws of chaos are not so easy to comprehend."

Speaking of mastery of the laws, Shen Mu has now truly reached a considerable level.

Shen Mu has almost completely comprehended the laws of the eighth stage, and is able to integrate the laws of time with the eight lower-level laws.

Similarly, the laws of space can also be integrated with the eight lower-level laws.

However, they cannot take the final step of integrating all ten fundamental laws into one.

It seems that the two laws of spacetime are in conflict with each other, and only one can be perfectly integrated into the other lower laws, but they cannot be perfectly integrated at the same time.

This is also the most difficult step before comprehending the laws of chaos. Countless powerful beings at the limit of eternal true gods have been trapped at this step for billions of years and have been unable to break through.

As Shen Mu finished speaking, the void rippled, and an endless, majestic silver dragon slowly emerged from the void.

The true dragon's avatar has undergone tremendous changes compared to before.

From afar, it still appears as a shimmering silver expanse, but the energy emanating from it is no longer similar to the original source of the universe, and it no longer possesses that vibrant vitality.

At the same time, the dragon scales of the true dragon also changed. The dragon scales that were once like exquisite patterns stacked up like cross-sections of the universe, as if reflecting the universe.

The dragon scales of today are formed by the overlapping of countless extremely tiny and strange cubes. Even a true god would have to observe them carefully to discover their mystery.

"This is... the Alliance Leader's clone?"

"What's going on? The Alliance Leader has broken through to the True God realm and even has an avatar?!"

Countless powerful figures were astonished, including Luo Feng and Zuo Shan Ke.

On the contrary, the true gods of the human race and the old masters of the universe were relatively calm, because they had already discovered the wonder of Shen Mu's clone when Shen Mu was still at the universe level.

That ability to plunder the laws, talents, and innate secret techniques of other living beings is a complete violation of the rules governing the universe.

The idea that a true god can possess multiple bodies is also a rule governing the universe, so it's understandable that this rule is violated.

"The Great Dao of Order... is truly exquisite."

Shen Mu had previously comprehended five fundamental Daos: Soul, Void, Life, Mind, and Destruction.

The main path he cultivated was naturally the Great Dao of the Soul, while the other two paths, Life and Destruction, were only for the purpose of comprehending genetic evolution.

However, during this chaotic evolution, the four previously untouched Great Daos of Devouring, Creation, Immortality, and Order, corresponding to the bloodline power of the two avatars, were naturally entered into.

In particular, the two great paths of creation and order are on the same level as the path of void and the path of life, and they are applicable to all primordial spaces and all source worlds.

As for the Great Dao of the Soul, in Shen Mu's subjective understanding, it is an existence that surpasses other Great Daos. Even Great Daos such as cause and effect and destiny are not as exquisite as the Great Dao of the Soul.

"Everyone, I will now completely quell the calamity of the Beast Realm."

"However, after the World Beast Calamity ends, the Jin World will return to the unknown lands of the Cosmic Sea."

"Take advantage of this time; those who haven't gone to the Jin World for training can do so. I will make arrangements with the generals in the Jin World, so there's no need to worry about anything."

"In addition, there are military merits, points, and other currencies that have not yet been used in the world of Jin. Use them when you can, and don't waste them."

Upon hearing Shen Mu's words, countless true gods and lords of the universe expressed both joy and regret.

The joy is naturally because the great calamity of the world beasts is about to be completely quelled, while the regret is naturally because the world of Jin is about to disappear again.

Fortunately, Shen Mu gave them a heads-up in advance, giving them more time to prepare.

……

Within Shen Mu's miniature universe, the magnificent Jade Palace shone brightly, serving as the central temple of the universe and hanging high above the heavens.

Within Shen Mu's Jade Capital, nearly ten thousand living third-tier world beasts are imprisoned, along with tens of millions of world beast corpses used as resources for cultivating his own world beasts in the future.

Beast Prison is a small, independent world where many third-tier beasts are imprisoned, and they are all filled with fear and unease.

In a corner of this small world, a World Beast looked terrified, its aura barely reaching the third tier, making it the worst performing of all the third-tier World Beasts.

"Interesting, you still want to hide your strength."

"However, there is no point in hiding my strength in front of me now."

Shen Mu's voice suddenly rang in the ear of the Beast, and then his figure appeared out of thin air.

The third-tier world beast looked even more terrified and kowtowed repeatedly to Shen Mu: "Master, I am willing to submit to you... Please spare my life."

Shen Mu's face held a half-smile: "Are you really willing to submit to me?"

As he spoke, Shen Mu's aura began to change, and a wave exactly like that of a World Beast spread out, which was pure World Beast power.

The third-tier world beast, which had been trembling with fear and barely managed to kowtow to Shen Mu, froze instantly.

"How is that possible?"

"You're clearly just a piece of food from the cosmic sea, so why do you possess the power of my race?!"

These third-tier world beasts are not at the initial stage at all, but rather at the limit of the third tier. They can evolve to the fourth tier at any time if they wish.

Its performance is an attempt to gamble on a slim chance of survival.

After all, Shen Mu has so many Tier 3 World Beasts here, one more "newly entered Tier 3" beast won't make a difference, and losing one won't make a difference either.

Shen Mu could easily kill them, but he didn't have the ability to enslave their souls.

As long as it's not soul enslavement, even if there are other means of control, as long as temporary freedom is gained, there is still a possibility of turning the tables.

Although the hope of gaining freedom was slim, it wasn't entirely impossible. Therefore, this third-tier world beast had been pretending ever since it was suppressed by Shen Mu.

But now, with Shen Mu revealing the power of a World Beast, this third-tier World Beast immediately knew that there was no hope left.

A violent surge of energy had just emerged from the beast's body when it was abruptly interrupted by Shen Mu's powerful will.

The dazzling radiance of will was incredibly bright; this was an extraordinary phenomenon produced by the will at the Sainthood level!

As Shen Mu's soul level increased a hundredfold, even without an improvement in his mental state, his willpower naturally crossed this barrier and reached the level of becoming a saint.

However, to reach the limit of the will to become a saint, one still needs sufficient tempering and reflection.

Faced with the impact of a Saint-level will, let alone a third-tier World Beast, even a sixth-tier World Beast would have little means to resist.

"To think you could destroy the boundaries within me... that's wishful thinking."

As Shen Mu spoke, he raised his right hand, and divine light emanated from his palm.

The pure power of the Beast of Realms became ethereal, and it began to cast a secret spell, controlling the radiance of the soul to envelop the Beast of Realms.
