People are devoured and become Luo Feng's golden finger

Chapter 273 Advancement, Cosmic Overlord

"Although these Purgatory Monarchs are generally not very strong, and most of them don't even have a single powerful treasure, their numbers are considerable. If they were to attack together, even the universe's overlords would have to back down."

As Bai Chen spoke, seeing that Venerable Wu Tian had finished collecting the demon, he waved his sleeve and put it into his sleeve's inner space as well.

Besides, the nature of demons is treacherous and cunning. Who knows if any of these demon lords are not at the level of a cosmic overlord?
It's possible they're playing dumb to fool others and hiding their true strength.

"However," Bai Chen smiled slightly, sensing the primordial particles gathering within his body every second, as well as the rapid fusion of the laws of thunder and time.

Just over two months ago, he had just become a Universe Venerable, and his strength had only just reached the level of a High-Level Universe Venerable.

But now, his strength has more than doubled compared to two months ago.

"In at most six months, my strength will reach Wu Tian's level, and in about a year, I will be able to step into the level of a universe overlord," Bai Chen thought to himself.

This rate of improvement is nothing short of phenomenal; if word got out, it would probably shock the entire primordial universe.

But... isn't he cheating? No, the cheat has materialized; he is the cheat itself. How can you call that cheating? It's talent!

"Before I reach the level of a cosmic overlord, I'll keep a low profile and stay in the Abyss of Purgatory," Bai Chen pondered.

After becoming a cosmic overlord, he plans to wipe out the remaining thirty-one demon lords in one fell swoop, and refine them together with the recently refined Akusta into thirty-two main souls.

By then, having fused with the main souls of thirty-two cosmic venerables, over a million immortal gods and great demons, and billions of realm lord-level demons, it should be enough for the billions of Soul Banners to advance from ordinary treasures to high-grade treasures.

However, if Bai Chen has the opportunity to capture a lone demon lord, he will not let him go this year.

"At that time, with the strength of a cosmic overlord, plus the supreme treasures of the Hundred Million Soul Banner and the Purple-Green Immortal Sword, I will be able to go to some more dangerous places to have some fun." Bai Chen's eyes flashed with divine light.

Demon Mountain, Dragon Tower Star, and Purgatory Abyss are, to some extent, the property of the Huo Huo human race. Although Bai Chen doesn't think there's anything wrong with it, it's clear that harming alien races makes him feel better and more relaxed than harming humans, without having to worry about Luo Feng.

After all, Luo Feng still has a lot of feelings for the human race, unlike Bai Chen, who is not a human in this universe at all. He regards the humans in the original universe more as NPCs who look similar to humans. He has a basic sense of goodwill, but if you ask him about a sense of racial identity and loyalty, he is really overthinking it.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, one year and three months have passed.

In the Abyss of Purgatory, within the Ice Domain Demon Abyss territory, beneath a majestic glacier, Bai Chen opened his eyes. A terrifying aura flashed across his body, quickly receding and disappearing without a trace, as if it had never appeared at all.

But judging from the trembling body of the sapphire snake coiled around his hand, it was clear that the terrifying aura was not an illusion.

“According to the standards of the Bridge to Heaven, my current level of understanding of the laws should have reached the twenty-third level.” Bai Chen revealed a faint smile.

The first to twentieth levels of the Bridge to Heaven correspond to those below the level of a Cosmic Venerable. Reaching the twenty-first level signifies entering the realm of a Cosmic Venerable.

However, even among those who are supreme beings in the universe, there are differences in their understanding of the laws.

According to Bai Chen's understanding, the Giant Axe Bridge to Heaven has thirty-two levels, with the twenty-first, twenty-second, and twenty-third levels corresponding to the initial, intermediate, and advanced levels of the Universe Venerables.

The 24th, 25th, and 26th floors represent the level of cosmic overlords and top cosmic overlords, respectively.

Moving up to the next level, the 27th, 28th, and 29th levels correspond to the level of the Lord of the Universe. The final 30th, 31st, and 32nd levels correspond to the level of the strongest being in the universe (true god).

The human race possesses a total of 52 Chaos Steles, each corresponding to a Great Dao. However, these Chaos Steles also vary in strength. For example, the Nine Universes Chaos Stele that Luo Feng comprehended has 27 layers, which means he has just reached the level of a Universe Lord. Among the 52 Chaos Steles, he is considered to be at a medium level.

After all, there are only eighteen Universe Lords in the human race. Each Universe Lord created a Chaos Stele, which is eighteen Chaos Steles. The remaining thirty-four Chaos Steles were mostly left by powerful beings who reached the limit on the path of Universe Venerable, except for a few Universe Lords who have fallen over the endless years.

For example, the Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele was created by the 'Ancestral Tree Venerable', one of the three top cosmic overlords of the human race today.

"The Bridge to Heaven has twenty-three levels, equivalent to a high-level celestial being in the universe." Bai Chen was quite calm.

In terms of laws, he still has some shortcomings and has not reached the level of a cosmic overlord, but in other aspects, he has made up for his combat power.

With a genetic level a hundred times higher, his divine elephant-suppressing prison force, nine-tribulation thunder prison sword, and the universe within his sleeve, among other supernatural abilities, are unmatched even by ordinary universe overlords.

In terms of treasures, most cosmic overlords only have one or two ordinary treasures, while only top cosmic overlords are basically equipped with one high-grade treasure.

First- to third-order universe masters typically use a mix of high-grade and top-grade treasures, such as the Lord of Sirius.

Fourth- to fifth-order universe masters use a mix of top-tier and peak-tier treasures, such as the Lord of Darkness, the Lord of Chaos City, and the Lord of the Star River.

The most powerful treasures are even more so; even the strongest giant axe wielder doesn't possess a single one. The equipment on the giant axe's body is merely the finest among the pinnacle treasures.

Bai Chen calculated the treasures and equipment he currently possessed.

Supreme Treasure: Purple and Green Immortal Sword

Common Treasures: Billions of Soul Banners, Dragon Tower

Top-tier treasure: None
Common Treasure: Thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls

Pseudo-treasure: Two Beast Taming Rings

Among them, the thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls were casually crafted after they encountered heavy water, a special material, shortly after entering the Purgatory Abyss, to facilitate Po Yu King and Wu Tian Venerable in collecting demons.

Among ordinary treasures, the strongest one now is the Billion Soul Banner, because Bai Chen and Wu Tian have secretly captured five demon lords in the past year.

In addition, the number of demon souls at the King level has increased from more than thirty to three hundred and sixty.

The number of Marquis-level and ordinary Immortal-level Demon Souls has increased from 13,000 to 130,000.

The number of World Lord Demon Souls has increased from 300 million to 6.8 billion.

These demonic souls were mainly obtained through large-scale captures in the Lava Plains, with a small portion being secretly captured by King Poyu and Venerable Wutian over the past year.

With the addition of five cosmic-level demon lords to the Billion Soul Banner as its main soul, along with a massive number of immortal and realm-lord demon souls, the power of the Billion Soul Banner has increased dramatically, reaching the level of a top-grade ordinary treasure.
