Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 94 Breaking Free from the Cocoon and Becoming a Butterfly

Virtual Universe, Rain Mountain.

Within Shen Mu's territory, beside a tranquil lake, Shen Mu, dressed in white, sat cross-legged, brewing tea.

Opposite Shen Mu was Luo Feng, who had just completed a dangerous mission.

"Senior brother, it's been almost seven years since the qualifying rounds, and you're still receiving the inheritance?"

Shen Mu nodded slightly and said, "Yes, my goal is to pass the third stage of the inheritance, get the final reward, and then break through to the Domain Lord level and return to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom."

Luo Feng said with some surprise, "So fast? According to the company's usual practice, it usually takes several thousand years for a cosmic-level cultivator to break through."

"Staying at the cosmic level is meaningless for me. After all, including this Demon Mountain mission, I've already reached the limit for the number of extreme-level missions. I might as well break through to the domain lord level as soon as possible."

Luo Feng nodded slightly and said, "In that case, I'll break through to the Domain Lord level as soon as possible. After my Golden Horned Beast clone advances to the World Lord level, I'll go and challenge the Abyss of Refinement. I'll break through after the mission is over."

At the current rate of evolution, it would take at least two hundred years for Luo Feng's Golden Horned Beast to evolve into a World Lord level.

After all, Luo Feng didn't have as many points as Shen Mu, and the precious resources that propelled his inner world's advancement were extremely valuable, so his evolution speed was much slower.

Seeing that Luo Feng was about to venture into the Abyss of Purgatory, Shen Mu did not hide anything and directly told Luo Feng the secrets of the Abyss of Purgatory.

"The inheritance of the Purgatory God General, which can only be accepted at the cosmic level... That's it, both of my avatars have advanced to the Domain Lord level. With my Earthly self, I probably won't even be able to enter the Inheritance Hall."

Luo Feng looked somewhat helpless, but he still planned to venture into the Abyss of the Refined Hell, since it was a reward of 100 million points, which was a huge sum of money for Luo Feng at the moment.

"Alright, we've finally managed to get together, let's not talk about cultivation anymore."

With a wave of his hand, Shen Mu conjured a stone table in front of the two of them. The table was laden with all sorts of delicacies. If this were in the real world, it would cost more than 10 Chaos Units.

……

Demon Sound Mountain, the Hall of Inheritance.

On the black rock staircase, Shen Mu's consciousness returned from the virtual universe, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"It's finally going to evolve!"

Shen Mu had been waiting for this day for a long time. After breaking through to the Realm Lord level, not only would his combat power increase significantly in all aspects, but his comprehension of laws would also be countless times faster than that of the Domain Lord level.

The world inside the body.

The vast ocean, with a diameter of 900,000 kilometers, suddenly began to boil, and the milky white mist that filled the entire world began to condense and merge, which was the purest water-attribute primordial energy.

As it devoured endless water-attribute energy, the boundless ocean did not expand, but instead shrank rapidly.

However, as the endless ocean shrank, Shen Mu's inner world actually grew larger and larger.

Rumble!

In just a moment, the vast ocean that once had a diameter of 900,000 kilometers completely disappeared, leaving only a majestic iceberg suspended in the void.

At the summit of the glacier lies a deep, secluded heavenly pool. At the very center of the pool is a swirling, deep vortex, its core pitch black, seemingly reflecting a vast world, its depth unknown.

As the world within Shen Mu's body underwent drastic changes, the "pronucleus" within him also began to change dramatically.

"Rumble..."

The Soul Crystal and the Force Crystal melted directly into a liquid torrent under the influence of an invisible force. The two torrents collided, and then the mental power and the Force truly merged.

hum!

Two distinct energies began to merge under the influence of consciousness and the power of laws, eventually coalescing into a mysterious and dazzling light.

The power of the world is born!

Through this wisp of world power, Shen Mu's consciousness sensed a vast space, the origin of the universe!

hum!

Shen Mu's consciousness resonated with the power of the world, and he directly descended into that vast world.

This was an incredibly vast land. In Shen Mu's perception, this land had no end and no other aura, only the purest fluctuations of the universe's origin.

On this land, every grain of sand seems to contain a vast world space, filled with cosmic crystals formed from endless primordial energy.

Shen Mu took a deep breath, and his own consciousness resonated with the wisp of consciousness that had descended to the origin of the universe.

Boom!

At this moment, an invisible passage connected Shen Mu's inner world with the origin of the universe, and endless cosmic primordial energy surged in and poured into Shen Mu's inner world.

In that instant, the inner world, which had been empty except for an iceberg, changed once again.

The boundless power of the universe's origin filled Shen Mu's inner world in an instant, and then began to drive the expansion of Shen Mu's inner world.

"They're even expanding?"

At this moment, Shen Mu's inner world had reached a diameter of tens of millions of kilometers, which was the same level as the Golden Horned Beast when it first broke through to the World Lord level.

However, Shen Mu could understand it after thinking about it. After all, his original core was no ordinary thing; it was the mysterious radiance that allowed him to transmigrate here, die, and be reborn.

At the level of World Lord, the stronger the primordial core, the larger the inner world it can contain.

Rumble!

The boundless primordial energy of the universe flowed continuously into Shen Mu's inner world.

In a short time, the diameter of Shen Mu's inner world exceeded ten million kilometers, but this still did not reach its limit and was still expanding rapidly!

Ultimately, the diameter of Shen Mu's inner world stopped after exceeding one hundred million kilometers.

Within the boundless and vast space, there is a magnificent and pure primordial energy of the universe. As long as Shen Mu has a thought, this energy can condense into cosmic crystals, and can also condense into any matter born from the universe.

"The internal world, spanning hundreds of millions of kilometers, is ready!"

With its internal world spanning hundreds of millions of kilometers, the power of the world projection it can unleash is terrifyingly incredible, easily crushing the law domains of some weak immortal gods.

On the central iceberg, the Azure Dragon of the East Sea overlooks the entire world.

The next step is the final step to breaking through to the realm master level: mobilizing the boundless power of the universe's origin to rebuild one's inner world.

"The sun, moon, and stars appear!"

hum!

The power of the infinite world surged, and then the sun and moon, shrunk countless times, and countless stars condensed in the sky.

As the sun and moon revolved and the Milky Way turned, the world was bathed in the first light.

"Endless mountains and seas, solidify!"

Rumble!

The entire inner world trembled once more, and boundless primordial power began to condense into a central continent and an endless ocean surrounding it.

Whoosh!

The roar of the tides resounded throughout the inner world. At the foot of the iceberg in the center of the continent, streams flowed gently, spreading in all directions, and then transformed into vast rivers, an endless water system that covered the entire continent.

Finally, all things are born!

As if words had become law, the endless mountains and rivers of the continent underwent another transformation, becoming indistinguishable from the real world.

Wisps of morning mist blanket the world, while countless rare and exotic flowers and plants bloom across mountains, plains, and other places. Subtle sunlight filters through the thin mist, scattering across the entire world, creating a vibrant and thriving scene.

Shen Mu looked down at his inner world and nodded slightly in satisfaction.

"The inner world is complete!"

In the next instant, the endless primordial energy of the universe, which had not yet been exhausted, frantically condensed, forming cosmic crystals in mid-air.

Splash, splash!

Endless, magnificent cosmic crystals rained down, covering the entire body's inner world; no one knew their exact quantity.

hold head high!

A majestic dragon's roar echoed between heaven and earth.

After breaking through within its inner world, the Azure Dragon clone of the East Sea began to evolve once more. Its scales expanded and grew, while countless new secret patterns emerged and intertwined, forming even more profound and complex designs.

A moment later, the physical evolution finally came to an end, and a blue dragon thousands of kilometers long soared between heaven and earth, with countless clouds surging around it, forming a deep rain cloud that showered down endless sweet dew.

At the same time, the secret patterns of the parasitic demonic insect engraved on Shen Mu's original core also changed, and the five-colored secret patterns began to evolve and transform into nine-colored secret patterns.

hum!

Endless nine-colored light surged into Shen Mu's soul, causing a qualitative change in his soul, making it shine like a dazzling nine-colored star.

"Now we can arrange for the Flame God Clan clone to break through."

With a thought, Shen Mu sent his Yan Shen Clan clone, which was training in close combat as a martial artist in the World Ring, into his inner world, and then began to break through to the level of World Lord.

"Next, let's experience the speed at which a World Lord-level expert comprehends the laws!"

With a thought, Shen Mu's consciousness resonated with the power of the world, entering the mysterious and vast origin of the universe.

……

The mysterious origin of the universe.

The core of the entire primordial universe—no one knows when it existed, but it is known that… consciousness can only enter the origin of the universe for the first time at the World Lord level.

After successfully breaking through to the realm master level, Shen Mu's consciousness could truly merge into this world, into a grain of sand.

hum!

As if a buzzing sound echoed in Shen Mu's ears, Shen Mu instantly sensed an incredibly clear and pure fluctuation of the laws at work.

All the fundamental fluctuations of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, light, space, and time can be sensed with unprecedented clarity.

"A World Lord's one day of comprehending the laws is equivalent to a Domain Lord's one year of comprehending them; the two are on completely different levels."

Shen Mu's consciousness was directly immersed in the incredibly clear fluctuations of the laws. His innate nature soared, his mind was free of any distractions, and he perceived the fundamental principles of the universe's operation.

……

Several days later, Shen Mu slowly opened his eyes, his eyes shimmering with magnificent multicolored light, radiating a captivating charm.

Shen Mu raised his eyes and looked at the magnificent palace at the end of the steps.

"It's not safe to linger in this dangerous place. Let's wait until we get back to try and comprehend the laws."

The next moment, Shen Mu strode forward, heading straight for the end of the inheritance staircase.

The demonic sound illusion that was almost unbearable for him when he was at the Domain Lord level is no longer a threat after he reached the World Lord level.

While his soul essence is stronger, the most important thing is that Shen Mu's innate secret technique, "Ten Thousand Spirits," has greatly enhanced his own abilities once again.

The reason can be attributed to the powerful and unique life form, the Spirit-Possessed Demonic Insect.

The Spirit-Possessed Demonic Insects are special creatures born from the 'Bewitching Heart' Secret Realm, a unique secret realm in the universe. The birth of each demonic insect is the result of the condensation and nurturing of unique energy within the Bewitching Heart Secret Realm over a long period of time.

Since the birth of the universe, including the fallen spirit insects, there have been only about three digits of them.

The newly born parasitic demon worm is a white giant worm about 1 kilometer long. It is born at the cosmic level, with a genetic strength about 300 times that of ordinary life. Its shape is somewhat similar to a caterpillar on Earth.

If one could capture a newly born parasitic demon insect alive, its value would be almost immeasurable, and could hardly be measured in points or mixed units.

Shen Mu spent over 100,000 points on just a palm-sized scrap of corpse skin. If he had bought the core materials, the price would probably have been even higher.

While a few hundred thousand points may not seem like much, it's actually quite terrifying. Keep in mind that a ninth-tier cosmic-level parasitic demonic insect is approximately 9 kilometers long; at this price, it could easily fetch trillions of points.

This is just a cosmic-level parasitic demonic insect. If we could get our hands on a world lord-level parasitic demonic insect, its value would be even higher.

There are fewer than ten living Spirit-Possessed Demonic Insects at the Realm Lord or Immortal levels in the entire universe, and they belong to the core members of the Ancestral God Cult, the number one power in the universe.

After reaching the Domain Lord level, this special life form will undergo a metamorphosis, a process that is extremely dangerous with a mortality rate of over 90%.

Successful transformation results in becoming a realm master, transforming into a magnificent demonic insect with nine-colored wings, and having one's genes leap to five hundred times that of an ordinary life form.

……

Half a month later, the 9999th floor of the world was inherited.

The magnificent hall was right in front of him, and Shen Mu pushed the door open and entered.

Boom!

The moment we entered the main hall, the entire hall began to rumble.

In the vast palace, Shen Mu immediately saw forty-nine towering black rock pillars that seemed to reach into the clouds.

"Congratulations, alien life form! You have successfully accepted the third stage of inheritance and passed the selection test for the Demonic Sound God General. Since the birth of the Demonic Sound God General's inheritance ground 4927 million epochs ago, you are the first life form to obtain the title of Inheritor!"

"As the first inheritor to pass the third stage of the assessment, your image will forever remain in all the inheritor temples throughout the universe, and will be passed down for eternity."

Nearly fifty million epochs was an incredibly long time for Shen Mu.

However, this kind of divine general inheritance has only been established for a short time, which explains why Shen Mu was the first person to obtain the complete inheritance.

"Thinking about it, that makes sense. The 32 Inheritance Halls open once every 10,000 epochs, and have been passed down through 150,000 inheritors. That's about the timeframe."

hum!

In each of the inheritance halls, a special light and shadow appeared, obscuring the figure's features and revealing only Shen Mu's silhouette.

Immediately following, an ice platform appeared out of thin air in the main hall, with two dazzling lights on it.

One of the treasures was a strange, colorful crystal, with faint, eerie sounds echoing around it.

The other treasure was a crystal-clear pearl, and corresponding information also appeared in Shen Mu's mind.

That colorful crystal is the inheritance crystal of the Demon Sound God General, containing the complete inheritance of the Demon Sound God General. However, once one masters the complete inheritance, one will become a candidate for God General, and can never advance further in life.

Even so, many people will still flock to it.

It is known that the complete inheritance of the Demonic Sound God General can create a cosmic overlord, second only to the Lord of the Universe. Countless Venerables who have exhausted their potential can only dream of such a thing.

The other crystal-clear bead is a soul-defense treasure called the Demonic Sound Bead. Although it is just an ordinary treasure, it is now an unparalleled treasure for Shen Mu.

"Successor, once you have received the complete inheritance of the Demonic Sound God General, you will become a candidate Demonic Sound God General. You will be qualified to join the Ancestral God Cult, assume the position of God General, and become one of the great Seventy-Two God Generals."

After receiving the final reward, the entire Inheritance Hall began to collapse, and Shen Mu was enveloped by a gentle force, being sent to the bottom of the original abyss.

In mid-air, Shen Mu gazed into the distance and saw that among the thirty-two inheritance palaces, the one he had entered was beginning to be destroyed and collapse, while the other palaces remained intact.

"I'm outta here. I can't let anyone know that I'm the one who received the complete inheritance."

Shen Mu's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.
