Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 235 Plundering the Beast King's Talent, A Debate Between Two Supreme Lords

In the illusory and ancient scene, under Shen Mu's control, figures materialized one after another.

The resurrection of the Lord of Morning Star and the Lord of Refining the Void was merely a test to gauge the strength of the cosmic backlash.

However, it seems that the backlash from resurrecting the Lord of the Universe is not too strong. At most, it only damages the soul of an ordinary Void God, not even causing serious injury.

"Let it recover."

Shen Mu's voice seemed to appear out of nowhere from every corner of this universe, and the ancient divine sound seemed to come from beyond the heavens.

"He is... the Lord of Heart Shadow Palace!"

"Brother Huanling!"

"Our maternal grandmother has also recovered!"

The last one to be resurrected from the long river of time was the First Lord.

The first cosmic master of the human race, one of the oldest beings in this cycle of reincarnation, a powerful being who perished before the primordial era.

After resurrecting all the lords of the universe, Shen Mu did not stop there.

The endless, illusory scenes intertwine, reflecting the ancient history of the entire human race.

"What is the alliance leader trying to do?"

"This spatial and temporal pressure... I can no longer get close."

In the endless past, one by one, figures lost in the past began to emerge.

There are too many people, hundreds of millions.

Throughout the history of humankind, countless lives that have come to this continent and perished unexpectedly are reflected, seemingly emerging from the bottom of the long river of time.

"Come back, dear friends buried in the past."

As Shen Mu finished speaking, an endless and immense backlash of spacetime swept out.

Boom!

This backlash of spacetime was so powerful that it triggered a violent spacetime storm that directly enveloped the supercontinent, which was tens of light-years in diameter.

The Primordial Ancestor reacted the fastest, immediately shouting, "Hunyuan, no!"

Luo Feng also sensed Shen Mu's intention and quickly said, "Senior brother, don't be impulsive!"

"Amu..." Hong opened his mouth slightly, but ultimately said nothing.

One by one, bewildered lives emerged from the raging temporal storm, each bearing a wisp of profound divine power.

Otherwise, this violent temporal storm alone would be enough to send these newly resurrected immortal gods back into the cycle of reincarnation.

These hundreds of millions of fallen lives were almost all ordinary immortals or those who were granted titles and honors.

As for the Immortal Kings and Universe Venerables, those who could be resurrected were already resurrected by the strong members of the human race during the billions of years that Shen Mu was in seclusion.

The cost of resurrecting ordinary immortals or those who have been granted the title of Marquis is not high. Under normal circumstances, the cost of resurrecting a cosmic lord would exceed that of a million immortal gods.

However, such a large-scale resurrection of immortal gods can be seen as going against the rules of life and death in the universe's operating rules, which will trigger a punishment mechanism, and the backlash will increase exponentially.

hum!

An overwhelming force swept out, and Chi Yi's figure appeared directly near Shen Mu, staring at the others with a wary expression.

"No one is allowed to disturb the master!"

As Shen Mu's soul servant, Chi Yi sensed that Shen Mu seemed to be comprehending something.

It must have been during the process of comprehending the rules governing the universe's operation that manifested when spacetime was disturbed.

Amidst the endless storm of time and space, Shen Mu's eyes were half-closed, and his gaze, through the manifestations of the universe, saw the complete laws governing the operation of the universe.

Under normal circumstances, the laws governing the universe are hidden and invisible. Even if Shen Mu's will can merge with the primordial universe, he can only indirectly comprehend the laws governing the universe by studying all things in the universe.

If a cultivator wants to unleash the domain of the laws governing the universe, they need to comprehend a complete primordial Dao combined with the laws of chaos, which is to say, a god-king level expert.

"This is the form of the rules governing the evolution of the Great Dao..."

"This is the most beautiful art in the world."

When Shen Mu came to his senses, his divine body began to disintegrate, and his soul was almost completely annihilated, leaving only a wisp of remnant will.

In this state, Shen Mu was able to maintain a clear mind because of his application of the mysteries of the Dao of the Mind and the Dao of the Soul.

"It's a pity that we couldn't resurrect all the fallen immortals."

Shen Mu looked back at the illusory years that were beginning to dissipate. Hundreds of millions of illusory figures began to disappear, and only more than 300,000 were truly resurrected.

Even though there are only a few hundred thousand of them, under the punishment mechanism of the rules, the backlash is a hundred times stronger than resurrecting several universe lords, and can easily annihilate the existence of the ultimate void true god.

Boom!

As the spacetime storm exploded, terrifying energy fluctuations were released, but Chi Yi blocked them all.

"What happened?"

"The alliance leader... has fallen?"

Countless true gods were discussing the matter, people's hearts were in turmoil, and some ideas began to emerge.

hum!

Suddenly, the spacetime fluctuations reappeared, and Shen Mu's figure seemed to materialize out of thin air.

As Shen Mu's figure appeared, the previously restless gods quieted down once again.

"The resurrection of several cosmic lords and hundreds of thousands of immortal gods of our race is a fortunate event and should be celebrated!"

As soon as Shen Mu finished speaking, many true gods quickly echoed him, their faces filled with genuine joy.

……

A miniature universe, the sacred land of Baiyujing.

"Time and space are both one and completely different."

"What I seem to have grasped about the laws of spacetime fusion is actually just the beginning. Only now can I truly be said to have touched upon the great Dao of spacetime."

The Dao of Time and Space and the Dao of Void are not the same thing. The Dao of Void and the Dao of Time are complementary Daos, similar to the relationship between the Law of Time and the Law of Space.

The Great Dao of Time and Space is a completely different Dao, also known as the Great Dao of the Universe or the Great Dao of the World; in short, they all mean the same thing.

Countless flashes of inspiration and profound insights intertwined in Shen Mu's mind, sparking new understandings and new ideas.

Then, Shen Mu raised his right hand, and the ten fundamental laws intertwined in his palm, forming a complex three-dimensional secret pattern.

At first glance, the entire rune diagram resembles the structure of the primordial universe, but it is a stripped-down version of the universe's architecture, containing only the most basic framework.

This three-dimensional secret pattern is the ultimate technique "The End of the Universe" created by Shen Mu!

This unique skill was Shen Mu's trump card for a long time before he came into contact with the Dao of the Soul.

However, as Shen Mu later focused on the mysteries of the soul, this unique skill was relegated to the sidelines and left to gather dust.

However, with Shen Mu's current level of cultivation, after some refinement, this secret technique would become the ultimate secret technique at the level of Eternal True Life, but it is still far from being a Chaos Realm ultimate technique.

"My miniature universe architecture references both the primordial universe and the Dark Lands."

"Then my secret technique cannot be limited to simulating the primordial universe; it should also evolve the dark lands, or even the boundless ocean of the universe."

Shen Mu was so engrossed in the experience that when he came to his senses again, thousands of years had passed.

With time accelerated a million times, the time required to create this secret technique was equivalent to billions of years.

"Let's put the Path of Time and Space and the Path of Void aside for now."

Shen Mu came to his senses and looked at Chi Yi, who had been protecting him.

Previously, when Shen Mu resurrected the Lord of the Universe, the divine power fluctuations that Chi Yi unleashed to protect Shen Mu were actually stronger than Shen Mu's genes by 100,000 times.

Logically speaking, the two should be on the same level, and both were limited to the level of the Lord of the Universe in the original universe, so there should not be a significant difference in the strength of their divine power.

"Chi Yi, give me a wisp of the power of the Realm Beast so I can study it."

"Yes, Master."

With a kind and honest smile on his face, Chi Yi directly separated a wisp of the power of the World Beast's origin.

Shen Mu raised his hand and drew in this strange power, beginning to study its structure.

"As expected, the strength of divine power is essentially the same, but in reality, the power of the World Beast is still stronger than my divine power."

Shen Mu immediately noticed the difference between the two: the difference in their power structures.

Upon hearing this, Chi Yi explained in a muffled voice, "Master, although you have a perfect divine body, your essence is still different from ours, the Beasts of the Realm."

"Even if divine power can simulate the power of the realm beast, it is only a simulation of the realm beast's power, and it is far weaker than my divine body."

Chi Yi was very proud when he said this.

In the same realm, the power of a Beast King and the divine power of a life form with 100,000 times the genetic strength are theoretically the same.

However, the Beast King represents the complete Great Dao of Destruction. As Chi Yi's understanding of the Great Dao of Destruction deepens, he can reconstruct the power of the Beast based on the "Boundary" within his body, making it even more indelible.

This is also the principle of body refinement techniques. It involves comprehending various great principles and then, based on these principles, allowing one's divine power to form countless stable and tiny structures, greatly enhancing defensive capabilities.

"The power of the Beast King is completely different from that of ordinary Beasts."

Shen Mu's own divine power also transformed into the power of the Beast Realm. He slowly opened his right hand, and in his palm, a wisp of Chi Yi's power floated.

Even though Shen Mu can perfectly simulate the power of the Beast Realm, he does not have his own realm within him and cannot simulate the energy structure of Chi Yi. Therefore, his strength is inferior to that of Chi Yi's Beast Realm.

"Of course, I am the King of Beasts, and the Beast Realm within me is a perfect prototype of the universe. The power of the Beast Realm, built upon the foundation of the Beast Realm, is naturally even stronger."

"This is a talent unique to our Beast race, Master, although you..."

Before Chi Yi could finish speaking, a silver dragon-shaped phantom, shimmering with a hazy glow, appeared around Shen Mu.

Then they saw the dragon-shaped phantom swallow the wisp of Chi Yi's power directly into its belly.

In an instant, Chi Yi felt her power being completely annihilated, and then stared at Shen Mu with even greater awe.

It should be noted that a Beast King of the same realm is in no way weaker than one with a gene that is 100,000 times stronger.

Shen Mu and Chi Yi are not at the same level. Chi Yi's life level is comparable to that of a Void True God, so in theory, he should not be easily obliterated.

hum!

A profound wave swept through the depths of Shen Mu's soul, carrying a hint of information.

"Analyzing... Currently analyzing the innate abilities of the Beast King. Estimated time required: 100 trillion epochs!"

The time required to analyze the Beast King was far less than the time required to analyze the origin of the primordial universe.

This is not because the Beast King's rank is lower than that of the Primal Universe, but because the Primal Universe is at its peak, while the Beast King has only just been born.

100 trillion epochs, a full 10 cycles of reincarnation.

Fortunately, Shen Mu has a time acceleration of a million times. He only needs to wait for the original universe to pass through 1 million epochs before he will be able to possess the complete talents of the World Beast race.

A hundred billion epochs have passed, so a hundred million epochs is nothing.

……

At the moment when Shen Mu was plundering the Beast's talent for the last time, in an infinitely high dimension...

This is a strange space where ethereal rules and principles are all materialized.

In this strange space, time, space, cause and effect, fate, and so on, have become the most ordinary matter, things that can be manipulated at will.

"Yuan, what are you researching now?"

"That whole 'World Heart Continent' thing, didn't it all end up being a failure?"

The one who spoke was a strange being covered in silver scales and had twelve silver horns on its head. Behind it was a tail, from which seemed to be evolving a source world.

Before this strange life form stood an old man, Yuan, dressed in a brightly colored cotton-padded coat.

"This time is different."

As Yuan finished speaking, he looked at his companion in front of him: "Jin, do you really think Infinite Orochi and his group are unkillable?"

The strange life form known as "Gold" nodded with a puzzled look: "Of course, they are all manifestations of the rules."

Yuan shook his head: "They are the rules themselves, so we naturally cannot destroy them. But if we replace their will with the consciousness of cultivators, wouldn't that be annihilation?"

At this moment, Jin finally understood Yuan's thoughts and said with a speechless expression, "Yuan, are you awake now that you've possessed a Primordial-level innate Chaos Origin life form?"

Yuan grinned, chuckling without any semblance of a powerful figure, and said, "Under normal circumstances, it's naturally impossible."

"But...isn't there an unexpected twist?"

As he spoke, a light screen appeared in front of Yuan.

Inside the light screen was Shen Mu, who was in seclusion, studying the laws of chaos.

This reversal of time and space has given Shen Mu a deeper understanding of the laws of time and space, greatly enhancing his ability to integrate the laws of time and space with the other eight lower-level laws in the future.

"As long as this little guy can reach the Lord level before the 'Spirit of Order' revives, even if he can't kill the 'Spirit of Order,' he can at least plunder half of its power of rules."

"At that time, this old guy probably won't be able to hold onto his position as one of the five eternal thrones."

As the saying goes, opportunity can be a greater disaster, but disaster can also be a greater opportunity.

"That's too difficult, almost impossible." Jin shook his head.

In this situation, there is almost no hope of success, even in theory, let alone in reality.

"How could it be impossible? It could be 'infinite'."

Yuan emphasized the word "infinite." In front of Yuan, a drop of special blood appeared, containing the fluctuations of the source of infinite rules.

"Hmm? The serpent's essence blood! How did you get your hands on it?"

Jin stared at Yuan in disbelief. A being of the same level, trying to silently plunder a wisp of the other's essence blood... This level of absurdity is hard to describe in words.

The giant serpent they mentioned is also one of the five Eternal Thrones, a Lord-level Primordial Chaos Life Ancestor, the Infinite Serpent!

"It seems you still don't understand the true value of the oldest lord-level cultivators in the Enlightened Ones lineage."
