Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger.

Chapter 154 The Third Avatar - 'Lord of the Abyss'

Just as Luo Shen was about to grasp that small fragment of the world's will.

"boom!"

The entire primordial world froze instantly.

Everything in the entire world froze and remained still. Luo Shen's outstretched hand was still extended forward. All the planets within the Primordial World that were rotating and revolving also stopped. Time and space were completely frozen.

Only Luo Shen remained conscious.

What exactly is going on?

Luo Shen was filled with horrified horror. Even though his eyes were open, he felt as if he were being blinded by a hazy white light, unable to see anything around him.

Just then.

Drawn by some mysterious fluctuation, an incomparably mysterious power instantly burst forth from the fragment of the world's will, illuminating the entire world with endless light. An immense and unbelievable power descended from nowhere and poured into the primordial world.

At the core of the primordial world, the hiding place of Luo Shen's soul core.

Metamorphosis!

Metamorphosis!

Metamorphosis!

The entire Primordial World is undergoing a transformation, and the souls that were already more powerful than most World Lords are now also undergoing astonishing transformations!

The color is changing too!

Fiery red, emerald green, sky blue, earthy yellow, and dazzling gold—all sorts of colors of light swirled and converged, eventually transforming into a hazy, chaotic void. The entire primordial world underwent a tremendous transformation, expanding, expanding, expanding—instantly tenfold, even a hundredfold.

That mysterious and incredible power, while transforming the primordial world, also directly enveloped Luo Shen.

Luo Shen's body was completely enveloped by this mysterious power.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?

The three questions about quality instantly flashed through Luo Shen's mind. He was still looking around in a daze, unable to figure out what had happened for a while.

[Ding! You have merged with the primordial will and authority of the Abyss of Purgatory, gaining partial control over the Abyss of Purgatory and obtaining a third avatar slot!]

[Ding! Unknown force detected!]

[Ding! There's been a problem with the third clone slots. Searching for the best adjustment plan!]

[Ding, the third avatar has been confirmed and is currently nurturing the 'Lord of the Abyss']

A barrage of information flooded the attribute panel, so fast that Luo Shen hadn't even had time to react before the gestation of his third avatar had begun—a being he had never even heard of before: the 'Lord of the Abyss'.

"What exactly is going on?"

Luo Shen's thoughts were still stuck on the moment he was preparing to seize the fragments of the world's will.

"boom!"

A series of messages suddenly appeared out of nowhere and flooded into Luo Shen's mind, making the already confused Luo Shen even more bewildered.

"Lord of the Abyss?"

This is a special life form that has never appeared in the primordial universe. Moreover, it is a special life form that resides in the Abyss of Purgatory. It is born with a higher genetic level than special life forms such as the Beast God, and is directly a perfect life form!

A strange fluctuation swept by.

Dark clouds gathered above the entire Purgatory Abyss, with numerous purple lightning bolts swirling within them. The terrifying pressure caused all the purgatory monsters in the thirty-six layers of the abyss to tremble and dare not move.

Even the powerful being of unknown strength, the Purple-Black Demon, awoke from its slumber, its expression grave.

"This is."

This feeling was even more suffocating than the devastating battle in the Abyss of Purgatory.

This is a special space filled with countless points of light.

While Luo Shen was still pondering what kind of talent the so-called Abyss Lord's avatar would possess, the next second, his entire consciousness arrived here. Looking at the light spots floating around him, containing incredible power, a certain place suddenly came to mind.

"Could this be the origin of the universe?"

Luo Shen watched the specks of light drifting around him, all avoiding him, and wondered to himself, "But my life genes haven't reached the level of perfect genes, so how could I have received such a gift?"

In the original novel, Luo Feng received the strongest secret technique because his 'Endless Nether Sea' clone reached the perfect genetic level.

But now I find myself here inexplicably.

What could be the reason?

"Could it be—because of the third avatar, 'Lord of the Abyss'?" Luo Shen pondered.

suddenly.

call out!

One of the fiery red lights instantly transformed into a streak of light, moving at a speed far exceeding the speed of light, and shot rapidly toward Luo Shen's consciousness. Before Luo Shen even had a chance to think of escaping, it had already touched his consciousness.

"boom!!"

Images flashed rapidly into Luo Shen's consciousness.

In Luo Shen's consciousness, he seemed to see the destruction of countless lives in the universe, scenes of world-ending destruction, heavenly fire burning, and countless stars falling, blooming with their last light, and finally turning into endless energy into a raging fire.

Immediately afterwards, Wujin swiftly merged into Luo Shen's consciousness.

With a massive influx of information, and thanks to Luo Shen's extremely strong will and the improvement in his life gene level, his speed of receiving information far exceeded that of other experts of the same level, so it didn't take him long.

The moment all the information was completely transmitted, Luo Shen's consciousness was kicked out of this space.

"I'm back."

Luo Shen, who was in the Primordial World, carefully sensed his body and the entire Primordial World. He immediately noticed that something was wrong. First of all, there was a change in the core of his soul. His soul, which was originally clear and transparent, had now become a chaotic and hazy color.

At first glance, it seems as if endless time and space are contained within it.

"Has my soul undergone a transformation?"

Luo Shen was somewhat surprised.

Although he knew that entering the origin of the universe would cause a transformation in the core of his soul, he did not expect that the soul itself would also undergo a transformation. After all, the increase in strength from the apprentice level to the world lord level would not lead to a transformation of the soul.

In the original work, Luo Feng's soul underwent its first transformation because he obtained the "Golden Soul Fruit" from the Demon Sound God General's Hall.

Besides the transformation of the soul.

There is also the extraordinary talent and secret technique that constantly resonates within my consciousness.

Every life form in the primordial universe, upon reaching the perfect genetic level, receives a gift from the origin of the universe. Although the Abyss Lord's avatar is currently in a gestation state, it already possesses the ability to control the Purgatory Abyss, which is its future true form.

Therefore, from the perspective of the primordial universe, the Lord of the Abyss had already been conceived and born.

That's why Luo Shen was able to enter the Land of Origin.

"Innate Secret Technique!"

Luo Shen carefully sensed the secret technique that had surfaced in his consciousness.

Previously, his consciousness was introduced into the Land of Origin and a large amount of information was transmitted to him, including a large amount of complex information such as the evolution and destruction of the universe. However, due to the strength of his consciousness, he could only remember the method of performing one set of innate secret techniques.

Although he knows how to use it, he has not yet reached that level, does not understand the mystery behind it, and does not understand how this secret technique was created.

It's like having a special ability to create clones.

He doesn't understand at all.

Each time he gained the ability to create clones, it was through system operation. He had no idea how he created the previous Crimson Flame Fire Essence clone, the later Water Spirit Ice Crystal clone, or even the current Abyss Lord clone.

The system has completed everything.

"The most powerful secret technique Luo Feng obtained, 'I Am the Universe,' can transform burning divine power into a miniature universe. By manipulating this miniature universe, he can bind and kill a large number of enemies."

Luo Shen recalled the original text in his mind.

The secret technique "I Am the Universe" is the strongest secret technique in the universe. It has extremely high requirements for its execution. Even special life forms at the level of perfect life genes need to reach the immortal level, and the amplitude of their divine body must reach 30 times. This is the minimum energy standard for its execution!

To know.

Special life forms with perfect life gene levels can grow to over 90,000 kilometers in size. Their divine power is hundreds or thousands of times greater than that of humans. Even ordinary cosmic venerables are only on par with them.

Even so, it still requires one-tenth of its divine body to perform.

"Even if you gave me the most powerful secret technique, I couldn't use it now; it would be useless."

Luo Shen shook his head and said, "Compared to that, I would much rather obtain the special talent 'Domain' possessed by the Demon Slayer Clan's avatar in the original work. That thing is the number one life-saving secret technique below the Lord of the Universe!"

The innate secret technique of the Domain allows life to perfectly blend into space.

Even if a Space Venerable uses a spatial sealing technique, it cannot hinder it in the slightest, because although the space is sealed, the space itself still exists. Just like you can cut off the flow of water, the water itself still exists; it's just blocked.

Unfortunately, Luo Shen was still disappointed.

Because the secret technique he obtained was the super secret technique of the Fire Law, 'Starfall,' which was also at the level of the strongest secret technique of the Lord of the Universe!

Although the conditions for its use are not as demanding as Luo Feng's "I Am the Universe," it still requires the Lord of the Abyss to reach the minimum energy supply standard after achieving immortality, which is energy at the level of an immortal-grade perfect genetic life form.

Each time it is used, it can burn the divine body to generate a large number of 'stars'.

These numerous 'stars' can be used as psychic weapons to strike, containing immense weight. Even an opponent at the level of a cosmic lord would suffer significant damage to their divine body if struck by such a blow.

Of course, this is just the most common method.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be considered the strongest secret technique at the level of a universe master.

Its true killing move is "Starfall," which causes all stars to fall with a single thought. All the "stars" brewing from the burning divine body are detonated in an instant, evolving into the scene of the original Big Bang of the primordial universe. Its power is related to the number of "stars."

The more stars there are, the stronger the power of the resulting Big Bang will be!

If a super-powerful being like a Universe Lord at the level of ten thousand times the life gene level were willing to burn fifty percent of their divine body to unleash this move, even a fifth-order Universe Lord would be severely injured.

If one were to fight as desperately as the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, exhausting all one's divine body to unleash this move.

Even if it doesn't reach the power of the sixth rank, it's probably not far off. It's definitely the strongest killing move among the fifth-rank universe masters, and it's absolutely comparable to the level of super fifth-rank powerhouses like the Star River Master and the Chaos City Master.

"Unfortunately, I am far from meeting the requirements to unleash my full potential."

Luo Shen secretly regretted it.

However, this time will not be too far off. Although it cannot be used now, it can be considered as preparing a trump card for the immortal level self in advance. At that time, the Mind's Eye Blade will be the last resort, and 'Starfall' can be used as a burst support, supplemented by self-created secret techniques.

Luo Shen could already imagine the scene of a future super strongman rising up.

"Don't pretend, don't pretend."

Luo Shen quickly interrupted his daydreams, trying to stay awake and not get lost in his illusions. After all, he was still just a novice at the cosmic level, and the purple-black demon outside could easily crush him if it made a move.

but--

Luo Shen also noticed another change: the expansion speed of the Primordial World had become even faster!

Especially the modification of that special energy.

The current Primordial World is more than enough to support even one immortal powerhouse. In other words, as long as Luo Shen is willing, he can comprehend the fundamental law of fire at any time and advance to the immortal level. With his understanding of the fundamental law, he can directly become a king-level immortal!

"There's no rush for now."

Luo Shen suppressed the urge to break through to immortality.

After all, he hasn't accumulated enough yet. Although the Primordial World can already support him to become immortal, it is far from reaching its limit. It is a product of the system, and with the modification of that special energy, it might be able to directly break through to the level of a Universe Venerable in the future.

"We must at least make it through the Primordial Heavenly Mountain at the Domain Lord and World Lord levels; that represents a reward of hundreds of billions of points."

That's hundreds of billions of points!

Most importantly, his life gene level has not yet reached its limit, and he has only cultivated the first two sections of the first part of the fusion method, which is far inferior to the perfect gene level of the Abyss Lord's clone.

"Let me see what talents this yet-to-be-born avatar of the Lord of the Abyss possesses."

Although still in its gestation stage, because he wields a portion of the authority of the Abyss, he can still sense the Abyss Lord's innate abilities through the Abyss even while in the Primordial World.

Luo Shen frowned and sensed for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes in surprise.

"Unexpectedly, because of his control over the Abyss, the Lord of the Abyss is born with the talent of 'controlling space and time.' In addition, he also possesses two special talents: 'rule' and 'chaotic evolution.'"

If that were all, it would be fine.

After all, the Domination Talent can only be used on the infernal beasts and demons of the Abyss, and it is of no use to the primitive life forms of the universe. As for Chaos Evolution, it sounds powerful, but for the Lord of the Abyss who has not yet broken through to become the strongest in the universe, it is nothing but a useless thing.

Where in the chaotic universe would he be able to use this ability at will?

But things just happen to be so coincidental!

Because the Abyss of Purgatory itself was the embryo of a 'chaotic universe'. However, its owner had already perished in the early stages of its formation. Ultimately, through the joint efforts of the primordial universe and a certain super-powerful being, it underwent an earth-shattering battle, which eventually transformed it into the Abyss of Purgatory it is today.

In other words.

The Lord of the Abyss, who holds a portion of the Abyss's authority, can fully unleash his innate abilities once he has collected all the authority components!

And it's not just the Abyss of Purgatory.

The primordial ancestor's miniature universe, suppressed by the original universe, is currently in the initial stage of chaotic evolution. Once he obtains the primordial ancestor's permission, he can also help the primordial ancestor complete the chaotic evolution and the subsequent miniature universe structure!

This means that Luo Shen had two opportunities to personally construct a miniature universe before he even broke through to the True God level!

This is more effective than any insight!

In the original work, Luo Feng used the changes in the structure of his small universe when he broke through to the True God level to further improve his mastery of secret techniques, which had already reached a bottleneck. He could easily use top-tier tenth-order secret techniques and beat a group of world beasts in their growth stage without any power to fight back.

"I remember that the Primordial Ancestor's talent was among the best even on the Origin Continent, and he also had the help of the Virtual Universe."

"The miniature universe framework he created is absolutely top-notch!"

"In addition to the Abyss Lord's Chaos Evolution talent, it is an absolute match made in heaven, which will greatly benefit my future path. It is said that even Luo Feng, who has obtained the inheritance of Duan Donghe, may not be able to catch up with me."

Thinking of the scene where he and Luo Feng joined forces and beat the Beast of the Realm to nowhere, Luo Shen couldn't help but let out a "geigeigei" laugh.

"I'm going to have this Abyss Authority component!"
