Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger.

"Give up!?"

"How could I possibly admit defeat, Brother Di Qing? I never imagined that I would need to go all out to win in this Origin Continent. Bring out your secret treasures, because my methods from now on will be far more sophisticated than before!"

Upon hearing the words "admit defeat," a fierce fighting spirit flashed in Luo Shen's eyes.

The Endless Blood River had never been his trump card, but he never expected that he could be suppressed to this extent on the Origin Continent. Indeed, there are always people stronger than you in this world, and you should never underestimate the methods of other powerful people.

But upon hearing Luo Shen's words, Di Qing was taken aback.

Go all out!?

Could it be that the terrifying power displayed by the endless river of blood just now was not his full strength? If that's the case, then it seems that I underestimated the strength of this newly promoted God-King of the Origin Continent.

"Since that's the case, then let me see what you've got!"

"That's what Di Qing said."

"As you wish!"

Suddenly, an endless, profound, sky-covering phantom of a hand appeared in the previously suppressed, almost motionless endless river of blood. With the blessing of this phantom of the sky-covering hand, the endless river of blood, which had been suppressed by the Three Thousand Worlds to the point of being unable to move an inch, began to burst forth with boundless power.

After the Endless River of Blood received its blessing, it caused a great stir. With just a slight twist, the surrounding three thousand worlds began to tremble.

This was also the first time Luo Shen had summoned the illusory image of the Heaven-Covering Hand to appear in the outside world.

Clearly, the effect was far more powerful than the suppression of the Heaven-Covering Palm in the sea of ​​consciousness, and far more powerful than the effect of a powerful secret treasure. This could be seen from Di Qing's expression.

"This power! This giant, phantom hand!"

Even just looking at it made Di Qing feel a sense of oppression on a life level. It was obvious that the master of this sky-covering giant hand was far more powerful than him. Most importantly, it was just a phantom.

"I never imagined that the ruler of China would possess such methods!"

After the illusory image of the sky-covering hand appeared, the endless river of blood also became increasingly vast and boundless, occupying an ever-expanding area, accelerating the collapse of the Three Thousand Worlds, and crushing everything in its path, rendering Emperor Qing's Three Thousand Killing Arrays unusable.

"The profound mystery manifested by this illusory hand is now comparable to a secret treasure crafted by a primordial being!"

Di Qing looked up at the phantom of the giant hand that blotted out the sky. As the endless blood river domain expanded, the pressure he felt became more and more terrifying. Even though he had already reached the level of a god-king, he had no choice but to retreat and avoid its sharp edge.

"I wonder if it's a treasure worth over 100,000 reward points from the Infinite Space, or a secret treasure obtained from the Dark Area of ​​the Dream Domain, or the core area of ​​the Heavenly Pillar Realm."

Secret treasure.

Yes, Di Qing believed that the illusory image of the giant hand covering the sky was also a secret treasure crafted by a primordial life form.

After all, there are still many places in the Origin Continent where one can obtain this kind of secret treasure. This is also one of the treasures that the three alien races most want to obtain. As beings who have broken free from the cage, even treasures casually crafted by a Primordial Being of the Yuan level can have a rule-based effect.

For example, in the infinite space, there are some treasures with more than 10 reward points.

It possesses the ability to weaken all attacks below the level of Hunyuan life form by 90%, including all types such as soul attacks and willpower impacts.

While the secret treasures crafted by powerhouses at the God Emperor level are considered to surpass those at the God King level, they cannot possess this kind of rule-based effect because they themselves have not yet reached the realm of breaking free from constraints, so naturally they cannot achieve it.

Although this illusory image of the colossal hand that blots out the sky has no physical form, it still gave Di Qing a sense of supreme authority and order.

Therefore, he concluded that this must be a treasure refined by a primordial being.

"There is such a treasure that, within the Origin Continent and under the restrictions of the supreme rules, not only me, but even the Ancestor himself could not do anything to this Chinese ruler. Now he's really using it as a stepping stone."

Despite this, Di Qing did not seem to care at all.

Luo Shen was his chosen partner. The stronger the other party was, the safer they would be when they ventured out together outside the Origin Continent, and the greater their chances of obtaining treasures.

Instead of being jealous, you should think about how to maximize the effect of the two of you working together once the Chinese emperor goes to the outside world.

Meanwhile, all parties on the Origin Continent also witnessed this scene from afar.

Especially when the illusory image of the colossal hand that blotted out the sky appeared, the Three Thousand Worlds accelerated their collapse, and even Di Qing was forced to retreat one after another. This scene was as if a silencer had been installed on the entire Origin Continent, and no one could make a sound.

In particular, the pervasive and eroding power emanating from the illusory image of the giant hand that blots out the sky is terrifying enough to instill fear and despair in any god-king, and even emperors and monarchs dare not look directly at it.

Only the three alien races maintained their original postures, and even revealed a hint of greed deep in their eyes.

"This giant hand phantom is very likely a secret treasure crafted by Yuan."

"I wish I could get my hands on it."

"What a pity, why is it only in the Origin Continent? If it were outside the Origin Continent, I would do anything to get my hands on it!"

The three alien races were envious, but they were powerless to do anything about it.

Their strength is limited by the supreme rules, and they can only unleash the power of a Chaos Ruler at most. Even with the support of many secret techniques and profound mysteries, they are helpless against a God Emperor-level powerhouse who is refined from a Chaos Origin Life.

As for the other powerful gods on the Origin Continent, each of them felt immense pressure.

"That's Di Qing! How could the ruler of China possibly suppress Di Qing? Is his strength really that great?"

"No wonder he dared to take the initiative to kill many heinous criminals, and even directly annihilated Di Yuan. It turns out that he had never truly gone all out. The blessing of this sky-covering palm has increased his strength by more than one or two levels."

Without the blessing of the Heaven-Covering Hand, Luo Shen would only be an ordinary God-King, at most a little stronger.

With the support of the illusory image of the Heaven-Covering Hand, Luo Shen's strength was still comparable to that of an extremely strong early-stage God Emperor, and he could even rival some weaker mid-stage God Emperors. Even a powerhouse like Di Qing would have to give way.

Seeing that Di Qing had already dodged the sharpness of the Heaven-Covering Palm and the Endless Blood River, Luo Shen knew that this battle had come to an end. With a thought, the illusory image of the Heaven-Covering Palm dissipated, and the Endless Blood River continued to converge, eventually transforming into Luo Shen's appearance.

Seeing the illusory image of the colossal hand disappear, Di Qing dared to step back to Luo Shen's side.

Di Qing smiled at Luo Shen and said, "Brother Huaxia, you are truly talented. You actually managed to obtain a powerful treasure left behind by Senior Yuan. Speaking of which, I also once obtained a treasure left behind by Senior Yuan, but because I was adventuring in the outside world, I took it with me long ago."

Upon hearing this, Luo Shen raised an eyebrow.

What's wrong?

Did Di Qing think he won because of the advantage of the secret treasure?

However, Di Qing's next words dispelled Luo Shen's idea, making him realize that he had been somewhat petty. Di Qing said, "Brother Huaxia, if you take this treasure to the outside world in the future, be very careful, because it will easily attract the attention of powerful alien races."

"Aren't you afraid it will be stolen if you take the treasure to the outside world?"

Luo Shen asked curiously.

"What can be done if I'm afraid?" Di Qing laughed. "Just be careful. As long as you're strong enough, you won't have to worry about being robbed."

"Moreover, Senior Yuan left behind quite a few secret treasures in the infinite space."

You probably don't know this.

"Infinite space is not only found in our Origin World; Senior Yuan left infinite space in many Origin Worlds."

"The treasures exchanged in the infinite space are all made by Hunyuan life forms, some even by Senior Yuan himself. Their value varies. Ordinary ones only cost 20,000 to 30,000 reward points, while the high-value ones can even exceed 100,000 reward points."

"Your treasure, the Giant Hand, in terms of sheer power, has probably reached the level of 100,000 reward points."

"If it appeared in the outside world, it would be a treasure that could drive even the God Emperors mad, which is why I warned you to be careful."

The treasures worth 100,000 points in the infinite space are all helpful in breaking free from the cage. Although the sky-covering giant hand in his mind is not directly used in battle like those secret treasures, it can still enhance his Endless Blood River Domain and assist him in battle.

More importantly, he orchestrated the entire process of this colossal hand, from its appearance to its transformation from ethereal to real.

Don't even mention it being stolen.

Even if he wanted to remove it from his mind, he simply couldn't.

"By the way, Brother Di Qing, have you ever seen a cultivator exchange for a secret treasure worth over 100,000 reward points?"

Luo Shen asked.

Based on his understanding, the most likely powerful figure on the Origin Continent to be able to exchange for 100,000 reward points is Emperor Mie, because Emperor Qing and the Lord of Myriad Realms only broke through to the God King level after mastering the complete Great Dao, so they did not receive as many reward points as Luo Shen and Emperor Mie.

However, due to the difference in strength between the two sides, Luo Shen received more reward points than Di Mie.

At least on the path of opening up the Great Dao, Luo Shen has gone much further than Di Mie. The other party is probably still stuck at the first level of God King, or even the second level of God King, while Luo Shen is now almost at the tenth branch fusion level of the peak level of God King on the path of birth and death.

Of course, the fusion of the ten branches only represents the peak level of the God King, and does not mean that its power is only at the peak level of the God King.

The fusion of six parts of a complete original Great Dao reaches the peak level of God King. The Great Dao of Life and Death has ten branches. Eight branches have power comparable to the peak of God King, and the fusion of nine branches is already above the level of God King.

Once Luo Shen creates a technique that combines ten branches, coupled with his peak God-King life form, at least the top three levels of powerhouses at the God-Emperor level will be his match.

Upon hearing Luo Shen's words, Di Qing was taken aback, then said, "We don't have that on the Origin Continent."

"However, other source worlds have them."

"It is generally acknowledged that 100,000 reward points is a limit for the Infinite Space. Treasures that reach this limit are all incredibly valuable and can help one break free from the confines of the world. Unfortunately, reaching 100,000 reward points is extremely difficult; neither I nor the Lord of the Myriad Realms has achieved it."

"There may be hope for the destruction of the Emperor, but unfortunately this era is almost over. He has worked hard for countless years, and with only billions of years left, the probability of taking a more crucial step is not high."

Luo Shen nodded, but did not speak.

He has accumulated over 100,000 reward points, but he hasn't decided what treasure to exchange for yet, so he hasn't taken any action.

more importantly.

He only has around 100,000 reward points, which is enough to exchange for one treasure worth 100,000 reward points. However, the top-tier and perfect inheritances within the infinite space are also very attractive. He needs to choose the most suitable treasure before making a move.

After all, the rarity of beings that break free from their constraints is enough to illustrate the difficulty of becoming a Chaos Origin life form.

If one does not cherish every opportunity that comes their way, even he might not be able to break free from the cage and achieve the primordial life.

"By the way, are those secret treasures left behind by Emperor Yuan difficult to sell?"

Di Qing seemed to remember something and looked at Luo Shen.

"It's quite difficult to sell."

Luo Shen waved his hand, and the remaining three treasures of Di Yuan appeared before him. He said, "Only two of the high-value ones have been sold. Nobody wants these three. If your Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom wants them, then I'll sell them to you."

"You're actually a pretty nice person."

Di Qing looked at the three treasures and said with a smile, "It's only because we'll be fighting together in the future that I'd be willing to accept these three treasures. They're three early-stage God Emperor treasures. I'll give them to you at the market price, rounded up to 10,000 Chaos Origin Crystals."

Hunyuan Crystals are also available for exchange by the guest ministers of the two ancient kingdoms, but the required merit points are extremely high, requiring 100,000 merit points to exchange for one Hunyuan Crystal.

Ten thousand Hunyuan Crystals are equivalent to 10 billion merit points.

Such a huge amount of merit points would be extremely difficult for even a guest god-king at the third level of god-king realm, let alone an emperor or monarch, to accumulate. They would need to use the debt quota reserved for them by their clan.

Ten thousand Hunyuan Crystals is already a considerable price.

Luo Shen knew that keeping these three treasures wouldn't be of much help to him, so he agreed.

Di Qing waved his hand.

The three treasures vanished from their original location, replaced by a pile of dazzling Hunyuan Crystals floating to the side.

Each Hunyuan Crystal was only the size of a baby's fingertip, and each one was perfectly round. Even the aura it naturally emitted made Luo Shen's body restless, giving him an urge to absorb it.

Hunyuan Crystals are the essence of the boundless Hunyuan power refined by Hunyuan beings who have broken free from their cages. They are highly valuable and are generally used as a common currency outside the source world.

The reason it's made so small is to facilitate transactions.

Di Qing said, "Although absorbing Hunyuan Crystals is helpful for cultivation, it should be done in moderation. With your current strength, you should not absorb more than one hundred crystals per era. If you absorb too many, the effect will be reduced, or even completely lost."

"In short, each cultivator has different physical and spiritual strength, and the most suitable amount also varies."

"Logically speaking, cultivators of the Great Dao of the Origin of Life have high physical strength and can absorb more. However, you will have to explore the specific amount gradually during your cultivation. In short, you should reduce the dosage once you feel that the effect is getting worse."

"By maintaining a low dosage, the effects of the Chaotic Origin Crystal will be sustained, allowing for continued use until the user breaks free from its constraints." (End of Chapter)
