Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger.

Chapter 153 World Will and Fusion

There are seven supreme authorities in the entire Abyss of Purgatory: the Skull Blade, the Slaughter Armor, the Dragon Fang, the Demon Wings, the Abyss Godhood, the Purgatory Scepter, and the Heart of Purgatory!

of course.

While it is called the supreme authority, in reality, each individual authority is not particularly outstanding.

Take the skull-shaped battle knife in Luo Shen's hand as an example.

While it's true that the Demon Lord was too weak and thus easily killed by Luo Shen, ultimately, the reason was that the Skull Battle Blade had no other outstanding advantages besides being sturdy and sharp.

Before encountering other supreme authorities, these authorities are merely ordinary objects.

Only by encountering another possessor of supreme authority can one learn the secrets contained within that authority, just as the purplish-black demon tried to touch the skull sword but was burned by the demonic flames contained within it.

"So, Lord Demon, what you possess are demon wings?"

Luo Shen glanced at the wings that were constantly flapping behind the purple-black demon. They were indeed simple and unadorned. If he hadn't heard it from the purple-black demon, he would have thought that they were the purple-black demon's natural wings.

The purple-black demon nodded.

"But why does this skull sword react so strongly in your hands, when it doesn't move at all?"

Luo Shen still didn't quite understand.

If a conflict arises between two supreme authorities, how could it be possible to gather all seven supreme authorities? The inability to gather all the authorities means that it is impossible to completely rule this abyss of purgatory.

"This is a taboo."

Perhaps it had been a long time since the Purple-Black Demon had talked about these things with anyone, or perhaps he just found Luo Shen agreeable, but he unexpectedly started talking non-stop.

Before Luo Shen could ask any more questions, the purple-black demon began to speak on his own: "A long, long time ago, the Abyss of Purgatory was not what it is now, nor was it called the Abyss of Purgatory. As for what it was called, it is impossible to know. All we know is that the Abyss of Purgatory was ruled by a mysterious being back then."

A mysterious entity?

Luo Shen thought about it for a moment, but didn't pay much attention to it. He thought it might be a super strong person like the Demon Sound God General or the Mountain Guest. After all, the vast majority of the territory of the human race was taken from other strong people and powerful races.

In fact, it's not just the human race; all the major elite races do the same.

After all, the territory of the entire primordial universe, though infinitely vast, is still relatively limited, especially for the four neighboring peak races, whose 'wealthy' territories are extremely limited.

Everyone wants more and better territory, what should we do?

fight!

Whoever has the strongest fist has the strongest reason. The current battlefield in the outer territories is actually a great war waged by the human race, the demon race, the insect race, and the machine race for control of this newly discovered territory.

The purple-black demon, unaware of Luo Shen's thoughts, continued, "Later, a group of super beings descended and waged a protracted war against this great being who resided in the Abyss of Purgatory. In the end, that great being retreated, the Abyss of Purgatory collapsed, and eventually took on its current form."

Luo Shen: "."

For some reason, he felt that the script was somewhat familiar.

By the way, Blood Luo Continent!

Isn't this just a living replica of the Blood Luo Continent? Only it's even worse here. The entire Purgatory Abyss couldn't maintain its original state and eventually collapsed into its current form.

However, Luo Shen still didn't quite understand.

He asked, "But what does this have to do with the seven supreme authorities you just mentioned? Could it be that the great war ultimately shattered the original supreme authorities, which then evolved into these seven components of supreme authorities?"

The purple-black demon glanced at Luo Shen, seemingly surprised by his question.

But after thinking for a moment, he explained to him, "Originally, there was no supreme authority in the Abyss of Purgatory. The one who truly controlled the Abyss of Purgatory was actually that great being and the 'World Will' he created!"

The will of the world!?

This was yet another term that Luo Shen had never heard of before.

The purplish-black demon said solemnly, "The will of the world is an ethereal existence. It is like some kind of rule that operates in the dark, fair and impartial, maintaining the entire Abyss of Purgatory in a certain state of balance."

"Isn't this similar to the original will of the primordial universe?"

Luo Shen thought to himself.

The primordial universe has gone through countless cosmic cycles. Each destruction and rebirth is a cycle. The birth and death of countless cycles eventually led to the birth of the primordial universe's original will. It has always followed the operation of the supreme rules in the dark, maintaining the stability of the primordial universe and the cosmic sea.

The primordial will of the universe is extremely strong; even the strongest being in the entire universe today is no match for a single thought of its.

But it is just a vague and illusory idea.

In ordinary times, it remains unseen, yet it is omnipresent. Only when a heaven-defying being like the Primordial One attempts to seize its body will it reveal its true terrifying nature.

Presumably, the world will that the purple-black demon spoke of was the initial stage of the original will of the primordial universe.

The purple-black demon continued, "However, in that great battle, the great being who controlled the Abyss of Purgatory was no match for the overwhelming force and was ultimately defeated. Its weapon also shattered into seven pieces, which eventually merged with the shattered world will to form the seven supreme authorities."

"Logically, these seven components of supreme authority belong to the same source, and should merge when they come into contact with each other."

"But strangely enough..."

"Even if someone were to gather all seven pieces of supreme authority, they would not be able to ultimately fuse them together to form the original world will, let alone regain control of the entire Abyss of Purgatory. They are like independent entities, and no means can bring them back together."

Luo Shen stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "Could it be that there's something wrong with the method?"

Gathering these seven supreme authority components is no easy task and will inevitably cause a huge uproar. After all, not everyone is willing to be led by others, and if there is any possibility that the seven supreme authority components may be reunited, there will definitely be people who try to stop it.

Otherwise, how could this skull sword, as a supreme authority, have fallen into the hands of a purgatory beast of the level of a demon lord?

"My demon race once attempted to gather all seven pieces of supreme authority."

The purplish-black demon suddenly said, "It's a pity that when all seven components of the Supreme Authority were gathered, the expected fusion effect did not occur. Instead, the entire Abyss of Purgatory underwent extremely terrifying changes."

At this point, the purple-black demon involuntarily shivered.

Clearly, what happened back then remains vivid in his memory to this day, and he can't forget it.

Luo Shen tried to ask what terrible thing had happened, but the purple-black demon was unwilling to bring up the past. When pushed too far, it simply flapped its wings and blew Luo Shen thousands of kilometers away.

It took a lot of effort to finally stop and regain my balance.

Looking at the purplish-black demon, still hovering quietly thousands of kilometers away, immersed in its own world, Luo Shen couldn't help but shake his head: "After all that talk, you still haven't gotten to the point. Besides knowing what this thing is, you haven't explained anything else."

What's the use of just knowing that this skull sword is the supreme authority?

Upon hearing this, Luo Shen knew that it would definitely not be so easy to gather all seven components of the supreme authority.

"However, since this skull sword is one of the components of the Supreme Authority and contains a portion of the original world's will, perhaps it could produce some miraculous effects after being placed into the inner world?"

After all, his primordial world was created based on the primordial heart obtained from the system.

It's a product of the system, so it must be of high quality.

However, it wouldn't be appropriate to directly stuff it into his inner world in front of that purplish-black demon. Although the purplish-black demon has always seemed easy to talk to since its appearance and has answered all of Luo Shen's questions, it is still a demon, and a purgatory demon that can crush him with a flick of its wrist.

For the sake of his own life, Luo Shen decided to play it safe for the time being.

At this moment, the purplish-black demon seemed to awaken from its own world, beckoning to Luo Shen, who was hesitating whether to insert the skull sword into his body: "Come here!"

Luo Shen naturally went over obediently.

Might makes right. If you're weaker than others, it's best to just obey.

However, Luo Shen was also inwardly cursing the Demon Lord, thinking that he didn't want to live anymore and was still dragging him down before he died.

"My Lord Demon, what advice do you have for me?"

Luo Shen thought to himself, "As long as it's within my power, I will definitely follow the Demon Lord's guidance."

"I originally planned to sleep for a hundred million years before waking up, but I've only slept for less than ten million years now, and I'm very irritated and need a lot, a lot, a lot of food." The purplish-black demon suddenly moved closer to Luo Shen, revealing a set of sharp fangs, and sneered, "I originally planned to have that unlucky guy who woke me up prepare it, but he just happened to sense the skull sword in your hand, so I killed him instead."

At this point, the purple-black demon paused slightly.

Luo Shen immediately understood his meaning and said without hesitation, "Don't worry, Demon Lord, I will do my best to prepare food for you and will never let you down!"

Food? That's a small matter.

Anyway, there are plenty of infernal beasts in the entire Abyss of Purgatory. There were quite a few infernal beasts in the original territory of the Demon Lord alone. Even if this demon has a big appetite, it can't possibly devour the entire Flame Valley, can it?

As long as they don't target him, Luo Shen can send those hellish monsters to their deaths without any trouble.

but.

Luo Shen is now pondering what will happen if that purplish-black demon continues to haunt him. Wouldn't he be stuck as a 007 "working man" forever? And what's even more terrifying is that this capitalist not only doesn't pay him, but he can even eat people when he gets angry.

That won't do.

"My Lord Demon, I know where there is plenty of food. Please follow me."

To avoid becoming food for the enemy, Luo Shen directly led the purple-black demon to the original territory of the Demon Lord, and used the demon's name to make the infernal beast obediently come out to its death.

It must be said that the demons have a resounding reputation in the abyss of purgatory.

Even though they knew they would likely die if they came out, not a single one of the infernal beasts dared to hide in the shadows. They all obediently emerged from their hiding places, knelt at the feet of the purple-black demon, and awaited judgment.

The purple-black devil, on the other hand, is indiscriminate in its consumption of both meat and vegetables.

With a single, massive opening of its maw, it instantly devoured all of the tens of millions of infernal beasts of varying sizes.

"Um"

The purplish-black demon nodded with satisfaction: "It's been a long time since I've had such delicious snacks. Well done! I'm very satisfied with this appetizer. Keep up the good work! I'm going to take a short nap. When I open my eyes again, I hope you'll bring me the main course!"

Tens of millions of infernal beasts were merely appetizers in the eyes of the Purple-Black Demon.

Luo Shen felt a "MMP" stuck in his throat, but he dared not show it at all, because he was now certain that this purplish-black demon was definitely not a domain lord level, or even a world lord level, but at least a terrifying existence above the immortal level!

First of all, even though a demon's lifespan is longer than that of the Golden Horned Beast, even a world lord-level demon cannot live for more than 100 million years. Judging from the demon's casual remark, 100 million years is just the time it takes to take a nap for him.

Secondly, his knowledge of so many things from ancient times must not be so simple.

Moreover, judging from the performance of that purple-black demon that just devoured tens of millions of infernal demons in one gulp, it definitely surpasses the vast majority of immortal powerhouses. After all, there were quite a few infernal demonic beasts of the Demon Flame (Cosmic) level, whose size was even taller than the Himalayas!

Fortunately, the purple-black demon fell asleep as soon as it was told, without caring about anything else. It found a large rock and fell asleep immediately.

Looking at the sleeping purple-black demon, Luo Shen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Previously, when I was by the side of the Purple-Black Demon, I had to be careful about my every word and action, worried that he might make a move at any time and I would become his food if I didn't react in time. Now that he is in a deep sleep, at least my safety is guaranteed.

"Should we take this opportunity to leave?"

Luo Shen was still hesitant.

After all, this purplish-black demon had lived in the Abyss of Purgatory for so long and was far more familiar with it than him. Moreover, the difference in strength between the two was truly vast. To put it bluntly, even if he used the Mind's Eye Blade, he might not be able to kill the other party.

Furthermore, Luo Shen also coveted those seven supreme powers.

If Luo Shen could truly gather all seven supreme authority components and reassemble them into one, thus gaining control of the entire Purgatory Abyss authority, his strength would be comparable to at least the vast majority of cosmic venerables, or even cosmic overlords!

After all, taking control of the Abyss of Purgatory is not just about improving one's own strength. You must know that there are many ancient and terrifying creatures such as the Purple-Black Demon in the Abyss of Purgatory.

Their fighting power is by no means inferior!

But all of this is predicated on—

Luo Shen looked at the skull battle sword in his hand. Only if it could truly fulfill his wishes could he possibly control the entire Abyss of Purgatory!

After spending two more days with the Purple-Black Demon and confirming that it was truly asleep, Luo Shen feigned summoning the scattered surviving Infernal Beasts to attack the territories of other Demon Lords, in order to gather food for the Purple-Black Demon.

In reality, they quietly moved away from that area and found a safe zone.

"Skull Blade!"

Luo Shen raised the battle sword in his hand, and with a thought, a suction force instantly drew the skull battle sword into his inner world.

Within the inner world.

The wind and clouds changed color, and thunder roared across the sky!

The moment the Skull Blade entered Luo Shen's inner world, he discovered that his inner world, which had been developing normally, suddenly changed dramatically. A dazzling five-colored pillar of light rose from the core of the world and enveloped the Skull Blade.

hum! !

The skull-shaped sword trembled instantly, as if it were under immense pressure.

"Will there be any problems?"

Luo Shen's true form as an Earthling had already appeared in his inner world, watching the every move of the Skull Battle Blade intently. He was eager to know whether the world's will contained within the Skull Battle Blade could be transformed into his own world's will.

After all, the growth rate of the internal world is still a bit slow.

Click~ Click~ Click~

Strange sounds emanated from the skull-shaped sword, like the sound of a house wall cracking, and it was covered with cobwebs.

"Snap!"

The entire battle sword shattered completely, and a wisp of spiritual light suddenly rose up.

"Fragments of the World's Will!"

Luo Shen's eyes lit up, and he instinctively reached out to grab it.
