Swallowed Star: Lord of the Wolf

The panel of the Lord of the Universe stage seemed to be no different from that of the Immortal stage, except that the items "Top" and "Peak" were replaced by "Strongest" and "Strongest Fusion".

Xu Yang's face was calm, but there was expectation in his eyes.

The strongest secret technique is usually mastered by the fourth-level universe master, while the strongest fusion secret technique is mastered by the fifth-level universe master... That is to say, even if Xu Yang cannot transfer to the 'special secret technique' column this time, he can at least get the strongest secret technique.

“However, what I want is not just the most powerful secret method.” Xu Yang murmured softly, and his voice echoed on the top of the mountain.

After a while, his scattered thoughts returned, and his cold eyes focused on the simple dial on the system panel. His mind moved -

Draw!

Wow~~~
The roulette wheel was spinning very fast, and a hazy light was rippling all around. The halo condensed, like a dragon, a leopard, a phoenix... Xu Yang wanted to see clearly, but these patterns disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if the deepest secrets of the system were hidden in them.

Xu Yang showed a hint of disappointment in his eyes, but he did not hesitate and gave the order with the calmest mind -

stop!

The smoke dissipated, the halo faded, leaving only the turntable where the pointer was pointing.

Xu Yang looked at it carefully, and even with his temperament he couldn't help but smile, because the pointer was pointing to the 'special secret method'!
The next moment, the system pops up an optional interface.

[Does the host choose to be led by the system to a random secret place? ]

【whether】

A look of "as expected" flashed across Xu Yang's eyes. He had known this information before. Unlike the [Extraction of Secret Techniques] during the previous Immortal God stage, he had no choice at all at that time. Every time he extracted a 'special secret technique', he could only contact the system panel with his mind, and then the system panel would randomly teleport him.

But at this stage, he has a choice!
【no】

Without any hesitation, Xu Yang directly clicked on the negative option.

The panel flickered, and a new pop-up window appeared.

[The host can choose a secret place where he has descended before. After selecting, the system will take you to descend again. ]

【Qingtai Mountain】

【Inverted hanging boat】

【Chaos Demon Abyss】

The names of three secret places appeared, and above the names was a picture. They were the three places Xu Yang had been to - the Sutra Pavilion on the green mountain, the spaceship upside down in the deep land, and the dark and deep rift.

"'Twelve Origin Heavenly Demon Flow', 'Soul Stealing Heart', 'Glorious Golden Body', these three secret techniques come from these three secret places respectively. However, except for 'Soul Stealing Heart' which has a special function and does not have combat effectiveness, the other two secret techniques are only at the 'Immortal God' stage for now. I need to find an opportunity to complete them later." Xu Yang's eyes seemed to see through the picture to the real scene of the secret place, "But now, these two are not the most important. I need to find a will secret technique that I can practice now to defeat Komona and accept the Sirius Clan. This is the most urgent matter."

Komona, Xu Yang can despise him strategically because of the description in the original book, but he cannot ignore him tactically! As an old guy who has been cultivating the Lord of the Universe for endless years, if Xu Yang really treats him as a dough that can be kneaded and flattened at will, then he is really stupid.

When Xu Yang does not have the advantage in divine power, treasures, and secret techniques, if he wants to achieve a leapfrog in strength in a short period of time, then the best way is the 'Secret Technique of Will'!
The secret art of will is not possessed by any living being in the original universe, it is only available in the Continent of Origin... After all, one needs the strength of the Chaos Realm to be qualified to create such a secret art.

"There should also be secret arts of will in Qingtai Mountain and the inverted boat. However, the last time I caught a glimpse of that towering figure in the Chaos Abyss, I was so shocked that even the system wouldn't let me go down... It's a good thing that I've reached a higher level now, so I can go down and explore." Xu Yang recalled the huge figure that reached the sky and the earth in his memory, and he still felt palpitations even after so much time had passed.

【Chaos Demon Abyss】

[Host has been selected, teleportation begins with a simple touch of the mind...]

Xu Yang made up his mind and lightly clicked the option of [Chaos Demon Abyss] with his mind. He felt an indescribable power surging out from the system panel, instantly enveloping his consciousness.

This power was vast and boundless, with the mystery of traveling through time and space, making Xu Yang feel as if he was in an endless cosmic torrent, and everything around him became blurry and distant.

With a flash of light, Xu Yang's consciousness seemed to have traveled through billions of light years and crossed countless stars. It seemed like endless years had passed and yet it seemed like only a moment had passed. The picture finally froze in a dark and deep space.

This is the Chaos Demon Abyss, the place he had been to last time, but he had only been active in the upper level. Below the upper level was a place where even the system warned him not to set foot easily. But at this moment, Xu Yang was full of expectations and determination, ready to explore this unknown area in depth.

Different levels have different system permissions. Last time he was an immortal god, and the energy given by the system was not enough to protect him from entering the middle level. But now he is the master of the universe, and the system releases more energy, which can take him to the middle level for exploration.

Woo woo woo~~~~
All around, chaotic demonic energy rolled and boiled like raging waves in the sea, and every wave contained enough power to destroy the starry sky.

There was a hazy white light surrounding Xu Yang's consciousness, which was soft and not dazzling. The most important thing was that this white light could protect him from being harmed by the chaotic evil energy... Otherwise, if he was contaminated by any trace of chaotic evil energy, his consciousness would be dissolved in an instant.

"I am a stowaway. Under the protection of the system's power, I am not only immune to the invasion of these evil spirits, but also not afraid of being discovered by other creatures." Xu Yang was familiar with the route and directly controlled his consciousness to sink deeper below.

Countless howling demonic spirits were swirling and swirling, and he looked small and fragile in this chaos. However, any demonic spirit that approached Xu Yang would pass through his body like passing through the air. It felt as if Xu Yang and these demonic spirits were not on the same level.

Higher-dimensional observer?
As Xu Yang slowly moved downward, his thoughts wandered aimlessly. As he continued to sink, the cliffs on both sides of the Chaos Demon Abyss began to show unprecedented magnificent and strange scenery. These cliffs seemed to be the most proud works of the Creator, carved into a masterpiece by time and the power of chaos.

On the cliff, cracks meandered like ancient totems, recording the vicissitudes of the Chaos Demon Abyss. From time to time, strange lights flickered in these cracks, which were produced by the agitation and collision of the power of chaos. Every time the light flickered, a small gap would be torn in the space, and one could vaguely see the deeper darkness behind. The extremely violent power could easily crush a true god-level strongman with just a hint of it.

There are also some strange plants growing on the cliff.

These plants have no leaves, only vine-like branches that are intertwined together. The vines have knotty scars that look like bleeding eyeballs, with blood flowing out from time to time. Then, under the caressing of these chaotic demonic energy, they appear extremely charming, emitting waves of tempting fishy fragrance, which is transmitted to the distance as the demonic energy floats.

"They look like ordinary plants, but they are actually terrifying plant life." Even though he knew that he could not be attacked by these plants, Xu Yang still controlled his body to stay away from the vines on the cliff. The last time he came here, he saw these vines luring some creatures living in this chaotic abyss, and while they were sucking blood beads, they used the vines to tightly entangle them, and finally devoured those creatures completely.

And those winged humanoid creatures, each of them has a much stronger aura than the dream tea he has seen! Even so, they can only be transformed into food for vines, which shows how fierce they are!
Whoosh whoosh~~~Woo woo woo~~~~
The deeper he went, the more terrifying the roar of the chaotic evil energy became. Xu Yang soon came to the place where he had obtained the "Glorious Golden Body" last time. This was a large crack hidden under some protruding rock walls. Xu Yang stood at the entrance of the cave and did not go any deeper. There was no secret technique of will inside. He was afraid that if he walked in, he would directly trigger the system's backtracking function, and then he would only be able to choose the "Glorious Golden Body", which was inconsistent with the purpose of his trip.

"See you someday if we have the chance." Xu Yang took a deep look at the withered figure lying in the shadow in the deepest part of the cave fissure, and continued to go deeper without looking back.

The dark demonic energy turned into a howling gale, and soon Xu Yang arrived at the place where he was warned by the system last time.

Just floating on a small platform protruding from the cliff, looking down.

At the boundary between the upper and middle layers of the Chaos Demon Abyss, there is a layer of grayish-white mist lingering. It is flowing slowly, and seems to possess some kind of strange vitality, which makes people feel awe at the first glance.

This layer of mist seemed like an invisible barrier that separated the upper and middle layers, causing the creatures of the Demon Abyss that flashed by from time to time in the distance to appear cautious when approaching, even with a hint of fear, as if there were unspeakable dangers and secrets hidden in the mist.

Xu Yang just floated at the boundary with a solemn look in his eyes. He did not try to sense the mist with his mind. He was still too weak now. Even those Demonic Abyss creatures that were suspected to be above the true god level were so cautious, let alone him, a small master of the universe.

If he loses the protection of the system, the surrounding black chaotic evil energy will corrode him completely.

However, his real target was not the mist, but something deeper... As his mind focused, he could vaguely penetrate the thin but opaque gray mist and capture a vague image.

In the depths of the mist, vaguely leaning against the cliff was a towering and huge human-shaped figure. The body exuded an ancient and vicissitudes of life aura, as if it was a giant that had been sleeping since ancient times.

Ancient and quiet, yet exuding endless majesty, like an eternal god.

Although the divine body was obscured by the mist, Xu Yang could still feel the powerful force emanating from it, a force that was enough to shake the entire universe. This divine body might have been a powerful being from ancient times, who fell here for some reason and eventually became part of the Chaos Demon Abyss.

"Even after death, he possesses such a huge power. How powerful must he be when he was alive?" Xu Yang couldn't help but imagine in his heart. He had read the original work and knew a series of realms such as the Void True God, the Eternal True God, the Chaos Lord, the God King, etc...

But, the description in words is pale.

If you have not seen or experienced it with your own eyes, how can you clearly understand the mysterious and magical nature of that realm?

This dark body of the deity once again inspired Xu Yang's endless motivation to climb upward. The last time he saw the Disaster Venerable fighting with the Zerg vassal Venerable in the first prison of the Sheep Clan. At that time, he was just a small realm master. The Venerable's terrifying power made him tremble with fear and at the same time, it also inspired him to constantly cultivate from the bottom of his heart.

Continuously sinking, like an ant meeting a god, Xu Yang was filled with awe.

"Hmm?" Xu Yang's eyes fixed, and he scanned his surroundings, thinking, "So that's how it is! No wonder those creatures from the Demonic Abyss don't dare to approach."

Only when you are in it do you realize that the so-called thin gray mist is actually composed of countless insects that are too small to be seen clearly. These insects have pointed beaks, gray bodies, and red pupils that flash with faint light. Their fur trembles slightly under the blowing of chaotic demonic energy, and the flapping of their wings makes an irritating noise, as if thousands of tiny needles are constantly pricking your ears.

Although these insects were tiny, their numbers were huge. They gathered together to form a barrier that looked like mist, which clearly separated the upper and middle layers of the Chaos Demon Abyss. Xu Yang was awed. Although these insects were small, if they were attacked collectively, even the lives of the Demon Abyss would be sucked dry in an instant.

"Such a huge tribe, the number is probably an astronomical figure... No wonder they can dominate the middle and upper levels of the Chaos Demon Abyss." Walking through it, because of the system protection, Xu Yang can stroll so leisurely and comment on the 'Demon Mosquito Tribe' that is intimidating to the countless Void True Gods and the Eternal True Gods.

The True God of Void faced the Demon Mosquito Clan who had been breeding in this chaotic demon abyss since childhood. Unless he had a secret treasure that could defy the heavens, he would have no chance of escaping death.

And even if the Eternal True God can bring down a small universe with a thought, he will still be at a loss when facing the endless and fearless sea of ​​demon mosquitoes. What's more, the demon mosquito clan is not just made up of these ordinary demon mosquitoes. Above them is the Life and Death Mosquito King, who controls the source of life and death and is a top-notch powerful man among the Eternal True Gods!
The Life and Death Mosquito King, with the help of countless demonic mosquitoes, taking advantage of the geographical location of the Chaos Demon Abyss, can even rival the weaker Chaos Realm!

The Chaos Demon Abyss is on the edge of the endless wilderness of the Origin Continent. It is the place where the ancient indigenous people of the Origin Continent live today. It is wild, harsh, and lacks vitality... Countless ancient creatures are fighting for and killing each other on the edge of the wilderness... They dare not invade the richer areas of the Origin Continent, which are occupied by various powerful countries.

They were defeated in their heyday in ancient times, not to mention their current reduced power and strength. If they were to attack head-on, they would probably be completely destroyed now.

However, Xu Yang did not know all this information. All he could see now was that towering divine body. The skin of the divine body was engraved with traces of time and ravines, as if the earth was fissioning. Every inch of it recorded the glory and brilliance of the past. Most of his face was blurred, as if it had been deliberately erased.

His eyes were closed, as if he was sleeping, or perhaps in deep thought. His hair fell like a waterfall. Although it was turned silver by the years, it was still thick. It swayed gently in the wind, emitting a faint fluorescence.

His body was covered with tattered armor with ancient runes engraved on the armor, but it had completely cracked and lost its charm.

"These insects are actually surrounding the divine body. Could it be that this divine body has been occupied by them?" Xu Yang frowned slightly as he looked at the long dragons of mist that surrounded the majestic divine body in the depths, like gray ribbons.

"Try getting closer." (End of this chapter)
