Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 269 The Infinite Treasure of Chaos

Upon reaching the God-King realm, whether it's the first level or the ultimate realm, one's divine power and soul have already evolved to the extreme, and there will be no further improvement on that basis.

As for the ultimate realm, the divine power and soul might are even stronger, which is purely due to the transformation of the most basic structure of the soul and divine power with a more profound Tao and reason.

This is what the God-King level refers to as the methods of body refinement and spirit refinement.

Shen Mu's physical body and soul foundation far surpassed the level of a God King. Furthermore, by refining his physical body and soul with the ultimate Dao, his final power would naturally exceed that of beings at the same level.

Boom!

Shen Mu's divine body began to expand rapidly, and a terrifying will spread out, enveloping the void and continents throughout the entire First Mountain region.

Even a god-king level being would need millions of days to traverse the entire First Mountain region.

That's not all. If it weren't for the suppression of the Boundless Nine Wonders Mountain, Shen Mu's will could have spread throughout the entire Origin World, with the Ultimate Domain of the Heart Enveloping all living beings.

This is the power of the ultimate realm. The entire path is fully integrated to reach the ultimate, true perfection. All kinds of divine abilities are enhanced, the soul aura is completely contained, and even invincible beings find it difficult to kill.

Without the suppression of the source world, those who can sense all movements in the source world and are skilled in domain techniques can have a domain that can cover an entire source world.

"Come!"

With a soft shout from Shen Mu, the energy of heaven and earth converged throughout the entire First Mountain region, along with the surrounding continents and mountains.

Under Shen Mu's will at the semi-primordial level, an unprecedented energy storm was formed. The power of this energy storm alone broke through the spatial interlayer of the source world, causing cracks to appear in the membrane wall of the source world.

In the blink of an eye, this endless energy, under Shen Mu's will, condensed into pure divine power, forming a magnificent galaxy with a diameter of tens of thousands of light-years, which surged wildly into Shen Mu's divine body.

Boom!

Spacetime trembled, and Shen Mu's divine body began to expand rapidly from a million miles, reaching tens of millions of miles in a short time... and finally reaching hundreds of millions of miles.

If it were in the True Spirit Holy Realm where the suppression is slightly less, Shen Mu's divine body could reach the limit of the Origin World, truly standing tall and upright!

This level of divine body strength surpasses even the pinnacle of the True Spirit Holy Realm, and is attainable by only a dozen or so Palace Master-level beings.

The Palace Master level, also known as the God Emperor level, truly marks the beginning of a fundamental transformation of the physical body and soul, not merely a change in structure. This signifies embarking on the path of transcendence and beginning the evolution towards a primordial life form.

"No, that's impossible!"

"You've only grasped one ultimate principle, how can you be so strong!"

The ancient bell, at the quasi-primordial level, trembled violently, but this space-time had already been frozen by the Ten Absolute Exquisite Pagoda.

Faced with the willpower of Palace Master Shen Mu at the Great Perfection level, even this ancient bell was greatly affected. Although it was not to the point of suppressing its thoughts, it was difficult to exert its full strength, and it could not even use the ultimate Dao.

With the complete transformation finished, Shen Mu waved his hand, and the majestic Ten Absolute Exquisite Pagoda rapidly shrank, transforming into a sharp spear, which Shen Mu held in his palm.

hum!

Magnificent beams of colored light bloomed above Shen Mu's head, with the Myriad Spirits Furnace suspended above him. Then, it suddenly dissipated, transforming into long, colorful rivers that traversed the ten directions of space and time, evolving into the boundless realm of the mind.

"Go to hell!"

Shen Mu unleashed a spear strike, and countless hazy, profound lights of wisdom surrounded the spear, swirling and merging together, faintly transforming into a divine sun at the spear tip.

The spear's light burst forth, like a dazzling divine sun streaking across the sky, directly striking the ancient Hunyuan Bell.

The attack was too fast. Hunyuan Ancient Bell only felt a momentary daze before the Great Sun of the Mind rolled right in front of it. It could only hurriedly defend itself, and then felt a violent tremor.

A piercing cracking sound emanated from the ancient bell, as if something had been damaged.

The spear slammed into the Hunyuan Ancient Bell, sending it flying backwards through the air once more, its energy ripples dissipating.

"How can the gap be so huge!" During the two consecutive head-on confrontations, Hunyuan Guling was actually trying to take this opportunity to feel the difference in strength between them.

It silently estimated in its mind that its current strength was only about 30% to 40% of Shen Mu's.

"His perfect will has a huge impact on my strength, allowing me to only unleash half of my power. So even if I exert all my strength without any interference, I'm probably still slightly weaker than him."

Hunyuan Guling was filled with shock. This person's strength had already faintly surpassed the invincible level and touched the level of the Palace Master.

Furthermore, with the suppression of Shen Mu's will domain, the peak strength it could reach even with all its might was only about 70% of Shen Mu's.

"This is bad, something bad is likely going to happen this time!"

Endless divine power evolved within the ancient bell, forming a terrifying giant. As the bell vibrated, the power of fluctuation and the power of tides intertwined, transforming into layers of cosmic seas that crashed towards Shen Mu.

The battle between Shen Mu and the Hunyuan Ancient Bell had such a large impact that it not only affected the First Mountain area, but also the powerful figures throughout the Boundless Nine Wonders Mountain.

Dozens of mental fluctuations emerged, looking towards Shen Mu.

"It's the Nine-Layered Bell... His opponent is actually one of the explorers from the True Spirit Holy Realm this time?"

"Interesting! The Boundless Nine Wonders Mountain has only been close to the True Spirit Sacred Realm for less than four thousand days, yet someone has already broken through from the First Realm directly to the Ultimate Realm!"

As the thoughts exchanged ideas, two even more magnificent entities of thought suddenly emerged.

"Senior Xuanwu Zhong!"

"Senior Kunpeng Sword!"

The owners of these two thoughts are a sword and a bell, both of which are supreme treasures that truly surpass quasi-primordial divine weapons.

The Xuanwu Bell was the very ice bell that Shen Mu had seen when he first entered the Boundless Nine Wonders Mountain World.

"It's him, that little guy who reached the first stage of the ultimate realm of will."

"Old turtle, do you know this person?"

"Yes, this little guy was brought to my side when this group of people from the True Spirit Holy Realm just entered."

……

"Go to hell!"

A sharp shriek came from the ancient bell, and the soul of this quasi-primordial divine weapon began to burn. Its will instantly condensed countless times, barely breaking free from the suppression of Shen Mu's will domain.

Clang, clang, clang!

Pure sound waves emanated from the ancient bell, resonating and harmonizing with the temporal and spatial fluctuations beyond the endless mountains and rivers.

The next instant, Gu Ling vanished into the fluctuations of space and time.

"This is the first time in all these years that I've felt the threat of death. How can I just let you go like this!"

Since his rise from the Earth era, Shen Mu has made breakthroughs time and time again, and he has absolute confidence in the vast majority of life-or-death battles.

This Hunyuan Ancient Bell is the first and only one that he has absolutely no confidence in.

Boom!

Shen Mu's soul also began to burn. For an existence at the ultimate level, the degree of control over the soul has reached the limit of a living being, and burning the soul is just the most basic trick.

boom!

Boundless will coalesced, transforming into an endless, vast divine sun, which slowly rose.

The brilliant light of will transcended another level once again, spreading out and enveloping the entire small world of the Boundless Undying Mountain.

"Hmm, we've been discovered!"

"Such a dazzling brilliance of will, it's blinding me to the situation."

"Haha, that's enough, that's enough."

The will of many quasi-primordial divine weapons began to dissipate, with only the two true supreme treasures still watching this scene.

Their souls had already surpassed those of semi-primordial beings, and they possessed several ultimate paths. Their willpower was much stronger than that of Shen Mu, who was currently unleashing his power, so they could naturally see this scene clearly.

"It seems Little Bell is going to be taken."

"Old tortoise, do you think this little guy has any hope of refining that object?"

"If we can refine it, that would be best. Then we can both restore our physical bodies and leave this world."

"..."

……

"Baoling, where do you think you're going to run to!"

A vast will spread out along with Shen Mu's voice. Gu Ling had just leaped through countless time and space and hadn't even had time to breathe a sigh of relief when this time and space suddenly broke away from the time and space of the boundless Undying Mountain.

The next instant, a massive black bone tower descended, engulfing the precious bell and the entire space-time within it.

"It's done, Master, it can't escape now!"

The tower spirit conveyed its joy, and the three ultimate Dao runes on the entire pitch-black bone tower emerged. The three ultimate powers of spacetime, chaos, and formation surged, forming a terrifying sealing power that locked onto the ancient bell.

The Ten Absolute Exquisite Pagoda was originally a supreme treasure for sealing and suppressing, and Shen Mu used it as a weapon and defensive treasure, so it was impossible for him to unleash its full power.

As a treasure of the same level, once this ancient bell is suppressed inside, there is absolutely no possibility of it escaping.

"Very good. Refine it little by little, reversing it into the purest Chaos Origin Sand. With this treasure bell as an offering, there is no need to refine other supreme treasures extensively."

"Release Lei Chizhou as well."

"Yes, Master!"

The Ten Absolute Exquisite Pagoda trembled slightly, and a large, silvery ship was spat out. Then, the entire pagoda rapidly shrank countless times and hung on Shen Mu's hair.

Three ultimate Dao runes could be faintly seen flashing on the pagoda, indicating that the pagoda was digesting the Primordial Ancient Bell, which would take a very long time.

"worship!"

"senior!"

"Master, are you alright?"

On the Thunder Pool Boat, the anxious Thunder Flame Celestial Venerable and many cultivators from the True Spirit Holy Realm breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Shen Mu.

"It's alright, that quasi-primordial divine weapon has been completely suppressed by me."

As soon as Shen Mu finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed. He frowned slightly and looked into the distant void.

"Master, what happened?" Thunder Flame Celestial Venerable noticed the change in Shen Mu's emotions.

Shen Mu pondered for a moment, then looked at Lei Yan Tianzun: "I will leave the Ten Absolute Exquisite Pagoda to you. You take the cultivators from the True Spirit Holy Realm and hide for a while."

"Yes, Master."

After giving his instructions, Shen Mu turned around and took a step towards that void.

Shen Mu tore spacetime apart and forcibly traversed the void to reach the foot of the highest peak of the First Mountain.

As Shen Mu's figure appeared, an ancient bell, crystal clear and carved with Xuanwu patterns, also appeared.

Following the large bell, an ancient sword swirling with yin and yang energies emerged, engraved with a strange, large fish with wings sprouting from its ribs.

"Little one, it's been a long time!"

The ancient ice bell transformed into a giant black tortoise filled with extreme cold, freezing the surrounding space and time, unable to withstand the fluctuations of its aura.

The ancient sword beside it also changed slightly, transforming into a Kunpeng that wields the power of Yin and Yang, or more precisely, the ultimate power of the sun, the moon, and Yin and Yang.

"So it's Senior Xuanwu. May I ask what brings you here?"

Shen Mu solemnly cupped his hands in greeting, then looked at the Xuanwu before him.

However, Kunpeng spoke first: "Junior, you came to the Boundless Nine Wonders Mountain for that supreme treasure refined with the Infinite Primordial Dao, right?"

"I won't waste any more words. I will help you refine that treasure. If you can refine it, I will give you other rewards."

Xuanwu nodded in agreement: "Not bad, little guy. When the time comes, Old Fish and I will stop the sun and moon, preventing the infinite primordial treasure from returning to its place. During this time, Old Fish and I hope you can recognize this treasure as your master."

"I appreciate your kind offer, seniors."

"But surely neither of you would help me without a reason?"

As Shen Mu finished speaking, the Xuanwu laughed loudly, "I, the old tortoise, have no other desires but to leave this Origin World."

"When I came to this world, it was to borrow the power of the infinite Primordial Dao to achieve my ultimate awakening and become a true Primordial expert."

"Although the ultimate awakening was successful, as you saw, Hungry ended up in a state that was neither human nor ghost, and he was unable to leave this world unless he annihilated his own soul."

"However, according to my and Lao Yu's deduction, as long as someone can recognize that treasure as their master and absorb the fluctuations of the Primordial Dao that are scattered throughout the rules of the entire Source World, Lao Yu and I will be able to break free from the restraints."

"The supreme rules of a mere small source world are not enough to bind me and Old Fish."

A giant fish approached Shen Mu; its size far exceeded Shen Mu's divine body, comparable to the scale of the entire First Mountain.

"Junior, you know the whole story. If you agree, fine; if you don't... hmph!"

"Enough, old fish!" the Xuanwu giant tortoise shouted from the side.

Upon hearing this, Shen Mu looked delighted: "I see. It is my good fortune to receive assistance from two seniors. How could I dare refuse?"

One sings the red face, the other sings the white face.

Having mastered the ultimate Dao of Mind and Image, Shen Mu sensed a trace of malice hidden in the hearts of these two super beings who had been refined into supreme treasures.

This is actually telepathy; an ordinary god-king could see through Shen Mu's thoughts and intentions at a glance.

However, faced with two treasures comparable to high-level Chaos Origin life forms, Shen Mu could only sense whether the other party harbored malice.

But that's enough.

"I reckon these two really do want me to acknowledge them as masters and control that infinite treasure of primordial chaos."

"But once they're free, their first priority will be to subdue me."

As Shen Mu pondered, the two enormous figures were naturally pleased to see him agree.

The giant Kun fish began to ethereal, eventually reverting to the form of a longsword: "What a fine junior! If you seize this great opportunity and master that infinite treasure, you will surely surpass us in the future."

"Big Fish is right, little guy, you'd better take it seriously then."

With the sound of an ancient bell reverberating, the enormous Xuanwu figure vanished into thin air.
