Swallowing the Starry Sky for Billions of Years

Chapter 774 Star River
"This Palace Master Gu Hui is quite strange. After causing such a big commotion, he has never shown his face again."

At Thunder Mountain, a group of cosmic venerables exchanged information and chatted casually.

"Hmph, of course he knows fear. Among high-level Venerables, he is indeed powerful, but above him are so many overlords. If he dies once, they will all be gone." Venerable White Guard sneered.

He was the first on the human side to discover that Guen was under siege. He waited about ten seconds before sending the message. If he hadn't sent it at all, the other Venerables would have had a very bad impression of him. He actively worked to establish a faction within the Virtual Universe Company in order to gain more resources. He wouldn't do something that would offend the other Venerables for no reason.

Gu En was dissatisfied because he was a disciple of the Greedy Beginning Venerable and had taken away many resources from the Genius Battle. At a deeper level, he was also dissatisfied because he had been at a disadvantage and suffered many losses in his repeated clashes with the Greedy Beginning lineage.

"Bai Hu, you're still lucky. You just had the Beast God Inheritance Token stolen by the Greedy Beginning Venerable, but you've gotten it again. How are you doing now?" a Venerable asked.

The White Guardian's smile finally became genuine: "Everyone knows that this Beast God Inheritance Token was meant for me. Everyone also knows that the Greedy Beginning Venerable does not cultivate the Path of the Beast God, yet he still wants to compete with me. Fortunately, the clan still remembers me. It hasn't been long, and they've given me another one. I just finished my deep reflection after the first inheritance, and that's why I came up to the virtual universe to take a look."

"Venerable White Protector, you do want to compete with Greedy Beginning, but do you think you can win?" Venerable Blood Abandoned looked directly at him, full of disdain.

Venerable White Guardian wouldn't give him a friendly look either: "Blood Abandoner, you've been currying favor with Greedy Beginner your whole life, and now you're trying to curry favor with me? He, the Palace Master of Ancient Obscurity, only gained the appreciation of the Chaos City Lord and was bestowed with treasures. Do you think he'll give you anything good?"

"What, you dare to speak to me like that after just one visit to the Ancestral God Sect?" Venerable Blood Abandon was even more disdainful. Venerable White Protector was his defeated opponent, and he had been severely taught a lesson by Venerable Blood Abandon time and time again for his provocations. "But if I were you, I would thank Venerable Greedy Beginning for cultivating such a good disciple. Where do you think your Beast God Inheritance Token came from?"

Blood Abandoned Venerable directly revealed the balance of his treasure vault contribution points. He didn't want to be enslaved, nor did he need to stay in Chaos City to be enslaved like Gu En, nor did he need to be studying the Soul Slave Secret Technique like Xuan Yi Venerable. Instead, he directly converted his share into contribution points.

21.5 Arcana Points, of which 18.4 Arcana Points are the latest change.

The surroundings immediately fell silent.

This is an asset that most high-level Venerables cannot afford. The high-level treasure battle sword is worth between 10 and 35 treasure points. With the opening of the Primal Star and the accumulation of resources by the race, the price may decrease slightly, but it will fluctuate by at most one treasure point. This is a high-level treasure.

A cheap, high-grade treasure armor is more than enough.

"What does this have to do with him?" Venerable White Protector slowly composed himself and said blankly, "His achievements are not entirely due to his own efforts."

"I can't see anything else, but suddenly there are several more Divine Envoy Inheritance Crystals. Count the time, when was that? His treasures are all obtained by himself." Venerable Blood Abandon laughed heartily: "You received benefits from others, and you only deserve to be here and think that others relied on the Chaos City Lord. But why doesn't the Chaos City Lord reward you? Why doesn't he reward me?"
"Why is it always me who has to take action against you? Because Venerable Tanshi and Palace Master Gu Hui don't want to bother with you at all."

The Blood-Abandoned Venerable declared emphatically, "You dare to challenge me?"

Venerable White Guardian snorted coldly: "Then let's wait and see."

After saying that, Venerable White Guardian logged off. The other Venerables in his faction also felt a chill run down their spines and logged off as well. Their biggest obstacle to Gu En was preventing him from gaining more benefits in the Genius Battle.

The other Venerables, however, did not let Venerable Xueqi off the hook. They surrounded Venerable Xueqi, pressing him for information, without thinking much of it. The Venerables of the universe maintained their face, which was essentially to maintain their status as strong. Gu En had already shown his wealth, and that distance between him and his strength was just a thin veil.

……

Twenty epochs, fifty epochs...

Even the Lord of Chaos City was somewhat surprised that Gu En could stay for so long. It should be noted that Gu En was in the Time Palace, where time was accelerated a thousandfold, amounting to fifty thousand epochs. This made the Lord of Chaos City even more reluctant to disturb his comprehension. It wasn't until the 126th epoch that Gu En awoke, opened his eyes, and a profound aura gradually condensed. His willpower had reached the level of a cosmic overlord; the only obstacle was how to reach the level of a cosmic master.

"call"

Gunn exhaled a breath, which immediately transformed into a starry sky, with stars appearing one after another, some incredibly hot, some extremely cold, and some extremely heavy...

They move rapidly along their inherent trajectories, then collide, becoming increasingly rapid and intense, until the entire starry sky is engulfed in a frenzied motion. Countless stars collide, instantly forming a torrent that traverses the entire starry sky. The splashes within are dust and aftershocks from the collisions of stars, forming a celestial river that runs through the universe.

This mass of energy transformed into a celestial river under the starry sky, colliding with a star in the sea of ​​star pillars. Even the weakest star, which could remain stable even in the chaotic energy flow and was strong enough to withstand a battle with a cosmic venerable, shattered and was then swept away, only stopping after colliding with an even larger star.

Gunn stood up, his divine power surging, and aimed at a distant celestial body, unleashing his power once more—

The starry sky appears, stars collide, and the Milky Way surges.

One by one, the stars were crushed to dust with a thunderous roar, and the area within a light-year immediately became much emptier, with only a few special stars still in motion.

But that's not all. A significant portion of its power lies in the feeling of insignificance and helplessness that arises when gazing upon this celestial river. Even if one wants to defend, one cannot muster all one's strength. In particular, this celestial river resembles the river of time, reflecting and connecting consciousness wherever it goes. This feeling deepens with each passing moment, and in an instant, the weight of billions of years falls upon one. Stars are inanimate objects, so this aspect cannot be manifested.

"Success?" Chaos City was pleased, able to sense the changes in Gu En, and even more amazed by his secret technique, "It has actually reached the level of a universe master's secret technique, and it looks like a top-level ultimate skill. If it continues to be improved, it should be officially completed."

Although Gunn was extremely satisfied, he was also shocked that it had reached the level of a near-top-tier ultimate technique among the Lords of the Universe.

There is a standard for measuring secret techniques in the universe: ordinary, top-level, peak, and ultimate.

Below the Lord of the Universe, all use the same standard: the secret techniques created by powerful King-level beings can be called ultimate techniques, which are the most basic and ordinary. Only the most powerful secret techniques created by those at the peak or limit of the King level can be considered top-tier. Only the most painstaking efforts of the Universe Venerable can create the ultimate techniques. Usually, only at the level of the Universe Overlord can one create the ultimate techniques.

But the Lord of the Universe is different. If the ultimate techniques of the Immortal Venerables are like using traditional crafts to manufacture cars, then the secret techniques of the Lord of the Universe are like using interstellar technology to manufacture spaceships. There is a huge gap between them.

The Lords of the Universe wouldn't use ordinary-level techniques. Only top-level techniques have practical value in combat. Even for the Lords of the Universe, top-level techniques are more than enough. Being able to create a peak technique at the level of a Lord of the Universe can become an absolute killing move.

"Thanks to my senior brother's guidance and protection, I may be able to do it even after billions of years, but I can do it now. The world is completely different. This secret technique does not rely on any treasures. It is worlds apart from the secret technique of Rust Star that relies on the Eight Universes Palace and the Myriad Rainbow Lake." Gu En was very grateful and excited. He gestured and talked about his ideas for creating this secret technique.

The Lord of Chaos responded to each question, and only after Gu En calmed down did he ask, "This secret technique is of extraordinary significance. Do you have any thoughts on it?"

“Let’s call it Star River. It’s simple, straightforward, and it’s exactly how I felt when I was moved. The universe is vast and dazzling, like the Milky Way,” Gunn said.

This secret technique is also more inclined towards direct killing.

"The Star River is a vivid image, but it is indeed simple." The Chaos City Lord laughed loudly. "With this secret technique, I am not worried about you going to venture into the Primordial Star, unless the Lord of the Universe intervenes. However, I will also go to the Primordial Star on this trip back. The distance between you and me is not too far, and I can arrive at any time. The Primordial Star has been open for a thousand epochs, and more than a hundred epochs have already been wasted. It is much easier to seize treasures on the Primordial Star than in the Cosmic Sea."

“Senior brother, I plan to pluck some stars to take to my divine kingdom. Some of these stars are special. Once I step into the Sea of ​​Universe, the Sea of ​​Stars may not look the same. It would be good to keep some as souvenirs,” Gu En said.
