Devour: Trade the future, abstract and become a god!

Chapter 274 The Ultimate Treasure: The Void Annihilation Soul-Devouring Blade
Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Wei Wen has now advanced about ten kilometers.

Yes, he moved forward.

While comprehending the laws of space, he also used the newly mastered laws of space to break through the spatial laws and time-space before him.

However, its power is not strong.

It took two years to advance only ten kilometers.

We still have a long way to go, more than 4,000 kilometers away.

……

Jiangnan boundary.

On the cruise ship.

Everyone gathered together.

"Wei Zi, how are you feeling?" Luo Feng asked with concern, having been waiting outside for over two years.

Wei Wen opened his tightly closed eyes: "Two words: profound."

"Huh?" Luo Feng glared at him and pressed, "Tell us quickly, what exactly is going on?"

Wei Wen didn't mince words and explained the whole story to everyone, especially praising this novel spatial folding technique.

Having comprehended the perfect laws of time or space in the universe, each user will have various insights into the laws of space and then use them to create various moves in battle.

But fundamentally, its main function is still the application of spatial laws.

For example, spatial confinement, spatial imprisonment, or control of general spacetime to suppress those weaker than them.

This is the most basic method.

The rest is about using the laws of space to fight, with various secret techniques emerging one after another, some strong and some weak.

Wei Wen discovered that this place possessed a naturally formed spatial law, which was similar to his innate secret technique, the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique.

But it is more exquisite and more powerful.

Since reaching the realm of the Lord of the Universe, Wei Wen has found that he and his former opponents have been using supreme treasures, innate secret techniques, and the authority of the Primal Universe.

The various secret techniques of the Immortal era are utterly worthless to the current Chosen Ones of the Universe.

Wei Wen has not yet created anything of his own, except for "I am the universe".

But now he sees hope.

Isn't this a perfect opportunity to create the strongest secret technique?

Given this rare opportunity, Wei Wen naturally began to cultivate without rest or sleep.

As for the knife, Wei Wen was not in a hurry to ask for it right now.

In any case, given the sword domain created by this treasure, anyone who isn't completely out of their mind wouldn't dare to enter, because entering would definitely mean certain death.

Wei Wen stayed here to cultivate, constantly comprehending the laws of space. With the help of the Great Clock, his progress was incredibly rapid.

In addition, his own perception of the laws of space is extremely keen. He is half a primordial cosmic consciousness, so perceiving the laws of space is a piece of cake for him.

At the same time, Wei Wen also reviewed the various secret techniques he had cultivated from the past to the present, and integrated them into his understanding.

So far, he has used close combat very few times.

Now that we have obtained such a remarkable treasure, it would be a terrible waste not to make good use of it.

With the help of the large clock, Wei Wen eventually traveled more than a thousand kilometers in ten years.

As for those on the periphery, they all left behind a divine clone before going out to continue their treasure hunt.

After all, they couldn't bear to wait here for so long.

But Wei Wen is in charge of them.

At that moment, he slightly opened his eyes, and the space around him became extremely strange, sometimes winding, sometimes frozen, and sometimes like smoke.

The space around him was ever-changing.

Wei Wen slowly raised the Annihilation Star Blade in his hand, and looking at the scene that was still raging wildly in front of him, a smile appeared on his lips.

He swung his battle sword forward with great force, but nothing tangible appeared. Instead, the space in front of him twisted horribly, like a vortex.

In an instant, it traversed a distance of three thousand meters like a space distortion cannon, distorting space wherever it passed, or even tearing space apart.

Keep in mind that this is inside the Temple of the Divine God.

Space is frozen to the point of being similar to a spatial imprisonment, and only the strongest beings in the universe can tear it apart by unleashing sixth-order combat power.

Even the most powerful beings in the universe would find it difficult to tear open space, no matter how hard they try.

Wei Wen wielded a single, seemingly ordinary strike, yet it contained the profound spatial folding principles he had comprehended over ten years.

This terrifying attack, similar to a space distortion cannon, has become another trump card for him; what he holds in his hand is merely a supreme treasure battle blade.

If one could obtain the most powerful treasure, its power would be several times greater.

"Is this the ultimate application of the laws of space..." Wei Wen stared at the spatial ripples remaining on his fingertips, and the Starfall Undying Armor on the surface of his divine body shimmered with a pale golden light.

A feeling of exhilaration he had never experienced before made Wei Wen want to laugh out loud.

Luo Feng and the others on the periphery saw it clearly.

The power of our strike just now greatly surprised even those outside.

Thor couldn't help but gasp at the sight of this vehicle: "Good heavens, if that blade had struck me, even the Thunder Star Armor would have cracked!"

After hearing this, everyone felt a sudden, inexplicable gloom in their hearts.

Of course, this refers to other cosmic rulers besides the human race.

"He's a monster... I feel like he's even more terrifying than the original."

"It's best to avoid provoking this guy if you see him again."

"This is too powerful. It's only been a short time, and he has already mastered the strongest secret technique, and it's terrifyingly powerful. How are we supposed to survive?"

The other universe lords all felt a chill run down their spines.

"He moved..."

At this moment, a cosmic lord exclaimed in surprise.

Then they saw Wei Wen rapidly advancing towards the abyss, and the spatial distortions in front of him instantly seemed to lose their original function, as Wei Wen formed a claw with one hand.

It frantically tore the space in front of it apart.

His speed increased rapidly, and in the blink of an eye he traversed thousands of kilometers. At this moment, the hilt of the knife in his hand also emitted an even more dazzling golden light.

It echoes the huge blade in front of us from head to tail.

"Release the hilt of your sword, and I'll let you go; otherwise, I'll take your life." At this moment, a magnificent voice suddenly rang out. Amidst the golden light, the voice resonated outwards, and everyone around could hear it clearly.

"The Spirit of a Supreme Treasure!!!"

The eyes of all the lords of the universe lit up. A supreme treasure had given birth to a spirit of supreme treasure, which meant that this supreme treasure was at least an extremely powerful one.

Wei Wen glanced at the blade and scoffed, "If you could kill me, you would have done it already. Stop talking nonsense and come to my hands."

As he spoke, Wei Wen had already rushed to the blade.

At this moment, the blade trembled violently, and a series of even more terrifying blades attacked, containing powerful soul attacks.

Unfortunately, the attack was weakened upon landing on Wei Wen's armor, and the remaining bit of soul impact was barely noticeable, like a tickle.

"Go away, go away!"

The spirit of the treasure was in a hurry.

Wei Wen laughed.

The spirit of a supreme treasure indicates that this extremely powerful treasure is of a high grade.

Otherwise, the spirit of the supreme treasure would not have been born.

"Get lost, my foot! Nothing I've set my sights on has ever escaped my grasp." Wei Wen's divine body swelled to hundreds of kilometers in an instant, but compared to this supreme treasure, his enormous divine body was ultimately too insignificant.

Wei Wen appeared in a flash beneath the blade, which was now suspended in mid-air without a scabbard.

At this moment, the hilt of the knife in Wei Wen's hand vibrated wildly, desperately trying to become one with the blade. Wei Wen naturally did a favor and directly inserted the hilt into the handle below the blade.

As the two came into contact, the handle, which was only tens of kilometers long, shrank instantly at a speed visible to the naked eye the moment of contact.

In just a few breaths, the distance had shrunk to only a few hundred kilometers, with the handle and blade perfectly integrated.

boom! ! !
A terrifying aura of law erupted, sweeping outwards with overwhelming power, causing the space to tremble violently and crack.

Wei Wen gripped the hilt of the knife in his hand and immediately imprinted several layers of soul imprints into it, attempting to make it recognize him as its master.

But the blade did not meet his expectations. The spirit of the treasure was clearly no match for it and was still resisting frantically, with terrifying soul vibrations constantly attacking it.

Relying on the defensive power of the Supreme Treasure Set, Wei Wen was enraged by the threat and counterattack of the Supreme Treasure: "It's just a knife, stop putting on airs."

Wei Wen burned his body frantically, and his divine power, like a depleted flood, began to erode the blade.

The handle and the blade appear to be two separate items.

Wei Wen had already imprinted his soul mark on the handle, making it his most treasured possession. Logically, the two should be one.

Then this treasure belongs to him.

However, after the hilt and the blade fused together, he found that he could only sense the hilt, and he couldn't feel the blade itself being fused together.

"I've run into a tough one, but challenges make things more interesting." Wei Wen didn't care at all and continued to frantically channel his soul power.

I refuse to believe I can't subdue you.

"Get out of here, or I'll kill you."

The spirit of the treasure went berserk, frantically resisting Wei Wen's soul infiltration, but unfortunately Wei Wen's soul was too strong.

His resistance at that moment sounded almost like a pitiful plea.

In the end, Wei Wen's soul imprint was still imprinted on the blade.

"Do not……"

The spirit of the treasure let out a mournful cry, but quickly returned to calm.

"stand up!"

Wei Wen gripped the scabbard and said coldly.

The entire knife trembled violently, and a soul aura appeared in Wei Wen's consciousness. This soul aura was the spirit of the supreme treasure.

The rest of his appearance resembles that of a middle-aged man, clad in golden armor, giving him the air of a great general, though his looks are somewhat similar to those of a mechanical race.

"Owner!"

"You've really given me a lot of trouble."

“I’m sorry, Master. I have been guarding this Temple of Divergence since its inception. I do not wish to be recognized as a master by anyone. I just like to stay here.”

"I thought no one in this world could possess me until my master appeared, and then I was completely convinced."

This treasure possesses an exceptionally high level of intelligence.

Wei Wen became curious upon hearing this and pressed, "Are you saying that you've been staying here ever since the Temple of the Divine Origin appeared?"

"Yes, I can't remember exactly how many months or how many cycles of reincarnation there were. I only know that every time a new universe is allowed to appear, I will be arranged by the Supreme Law to enter this primordial universe."

"Over the endless years, batches of people have entered this place, and they have obtained my parts. It's just a pity that they don't know that they need to collect all the parts to be able to guide me."

"After that, you will have to pass my test. In the endless years, only two people have been able to reach this place, but they both failed in the end."

"And those Heavenly Cloud Crystals that were obtained were also cut apart by me when I left the Temple of the Divine God, becoming independent individuals, and my new parts will be conceived anew."

The spirit of the treasure answered truthfully, thus resolving one of Wei Wen's doubts.

So that's how it all happened.

No wonder no one knows there's an extremely powerful treasure here; the conditions for obtaining it are far too demanding, practically inhumanly so.

But none of that mattered anymore; he wanted to see just how powerful this extremely demanding treasure truly was.

Supreme Treasure: Void Annihilation Soul-Devouring Blade
First layer of secret runes: "Body Destruction and Soul Corrosion"

The secret pattern spirals around the blade, with black and white colors intertwined and flowing.

When activated, the blade's aura carries both "physical annihilation power" and "soul corrosion energy." The moment it strikes the target, the physical layer will directly tear apart the "strong interaction force between particles," causing it to disintegrate like sand, leaving no trace of even quark-level structures.

At the same time, the soul level will simultaneously drill into the core of the target's soul, transforming into billions of fine thorns interwoven in black and white. While gnawing at the soul's origin, it will also tamper with the target's "cognition of existence," causing the target to fall into a series of illusions, deny all its own shortcomings, and ultimately fall into a deep collapse of its own Dao heart, resulting in the self-destruction of its soul.

Even if the target is only grazed by the blade's edge and not directly hit, the target will still be eroded by the "physical-soul resonance wave".

The surface of the divine body will continuously produce black hole-like holes (physical collapse), and the soul will also be indirectly affected. Although there is no soul illusion caused by a direct attack, it will still indirectly cause soul pain. The all-pervasive soul power will transform into subtle attacks to assault the opponent's soul.

The second layer of secret runes: "Cause and Effect Severing Soul"

The secret runes are formed from countless broken causal lines, and when the blade is swung, ripples appear in the surrounding space-time.
-
When this rune is activated, the attack no longer follows the conventional logic of "distance" and "defense". Physically, the blade's edge will travel in reverse along the target's "past physical defense weaknesses".

For example, if the opponent has been cut by a sharp weapon, the blade's energy will erupt directly from that old wound, ignoring the opponent's current divine body strength and defensive treasures, and split them in two from the inside.

It indirectly performs spatial folding attacks. In addition, it simultaneously invades the target's "most cherished memories" on the soul. For example, if the target was once moved by relatives or friends, the blade will transform into the appearance of those relatives or friends. While tearing apart the soul, it will cause the target to completely collapse in the illusion of "killing the person they cherish with their own hands".

Even more terrifying is that the "physical existence" and "soul imprint" of the person struck will be forcibly bound together—even if they are resurrected using secret methods, the reborn divine body will suffer the excruciating pain of the soul being torn apart, and the reborn divine soul will also be imprinted with the image of the body disintegrating. The two torment each other in a cycle until they go completely insane and ultimately destroy themselves.

The third layer of secret runes: "Soul Returns to Ruins"

The secret runes are an epitome of the "ultimate physical and spiritual endpoint" of the entire primordial universe. When activated, the blade will temporarily disappear, replaced by a gray, all-consuming domain.

Within the domain, all locked targets will experience a "synchronous zeroing out of both their physical and spiritual states".

On a physical level, everything from macroscopic bodies to microscopic particles will be forcibly "reverted to a state of nothingness before their birth." Even the embodiment of the laws of the universe's ruler and the divine body of a true god will evaporate as if they never existed.

At the soul level, all traces of existence in all dimensions are simultaneously stripped away, including the marks of reincarnation, connections to laws, and even fragments of memories from others. These are completely erased by the domain, which is equivalent to completely deleting its physical and soul existence from the three timelines of "past, present, and future".
