Swallowed Star: Inward Cultivation, Crying Luo Feng

Chapter 429 Dark Star Demon Lord and the Third Stage

The faction that Ziyue has now joined is only a small one.

Even so, he was able to find records about possessing the original universe within it.

Could the Wu Kingdom's heritage be without it?

Moreover, since the Wu Kingdom specifically built spaceships to travel to the outer sea.

Aside from the Beasts of the Realm, only the Primordial Universe is worth their special trip to the Cosmic Sea.

Realm Beasts are extremely rare; they might only appear once every hundreds of thousands or even millions of reincarnations.

However, the primordial universe has always existed.

Those eternal true gods and geniuses who went to the cosmic sea were able to resist the urge to seize the original universe.
It's important to understand that as long as one possesses the original universe, one is guaranteed to become the ruler of chaos.

Moreover, there is a very high probability that he will break through to the God King level!

This is why Zi Yue has always longed to possess the original universe.

The thought of Luo Fan potentially competing with him made him feel uneasy.

He had also heard about Luo Fan's talent from his subordinates.

If he and Luo Fan were under the same conditions, he would have absolutely no confidence in beating Luo Fan.

To possess the power of a cosmic ruler in just one era is truly terrifying.

Even in the Origin Continent, he would be considered a genius.

Furthermore, if Luo Fan continues like this, he may very well inherit the legacy of the Wu Kingdom.

What kind of entity was the Kingdom of Wu?
That place has produced multiple god-kings!

Even now that the Wu Kingdom has been destroyed, they can only flee to the cosmic sea in hopes of clinging to that sliver of hope.

However, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.

Even though the Wu Kingdom was destroyed, the legacy it left behind was incomparable to that of any other power.

Moreover, wouldn't it be better for the successor if the Wu Kingdom were destroyed?

While the Wu Kingdom existed, it might have needed to make contributions to obtain resources and preserve its heritage.

But if the inheritance is obtained now, wouldn't all the remaining resources of the Wu Kingdom belong to one person?

The more Zi Yue thought about it, the more she felt that Luo Fan was a major threat.

In his view, no one could resist the urge to possess the primordial universe.

Even geniuses are the same.

After all, who would refuse a shortcut that has no side effects?
Thinking of this, Zi Yue's eyes were filled with killing intent.

"Bloodblade, go and call Dark Star over."

The Purple Moon Ancestor looked at a respectful universe lord beside him and gave an order.

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Bloodblade replied respectfully.

"Yes, ancestor!"

His eyes were filled with fervor.

Even though he was a cosmic ruler, he was still very proud to serve by the side of the Purple Moon Ancestor.

Soon, the Lord of Bloodblade entered with a somewhat strange creature.

The other party appeared as a cloud of black mist, with a black crystal at its center.

This crystal absorbed all the light.

It is completely invisible to the naked eye.

"The ancestor of Ziyue."

"Dark Star Demon God said calmly."

He was also the strongest being in the universe during the same period as Zi Yue.

Or rather, the strongest beings in the universe within the Purple Moon Holy Land are all figures from the same era as Purple Moon.

After all, the Purple Moon Ancestor's small universe was only a few billion light-years wide, which was simply not enough to support the birth of the strongest being in a universe.

During Zi Yue's time, their faction was extremely powerful, basically one of the largest forces in the Cosmic Sea.

They are even more powerful than the current Divine Eye Clan.

It's as if, if the progenitors hadn't been suppressed, humanity would have gradually come to rule the primordial universe.

Although Zi Yue was not as strong as the original ancestor at that time, her strength had reached the top level of the tenth rank.

Therefore, their race and power basically ruled the entire primordial universe.

This has led to the emergence of many of the strongest beings in the universe from their race.

In addition, some of the strongest individuals in the solitary universe joined the Purple Moon Holy Land after three cycles of reincarnation.

Dark Star Demon God is one of them.

In the era of reincarnation where Zi Yue lived, he was also the strongest lone traveler in the universe.

The other party is a special life form.

The Dark Star Demon God is very strange; he is a cloud of intelligent black mist.

He called himself the Shadow Mist.

He himself has no physical form. Even the black crystal at the core is actually just condensed black mist and has no physical form.

The Dark Star Demon God is extremely powerful.

Due to its inherent characteristics, it is completely immune to substance attacks.

Moreover, his soul talent is exceptionally strong, and his soul origin is also very special.

The opponent is considered the most powerful soul master in the Purple Moon Holy Land.

However, because he stayed within the Purple Moon Holy Land and rarely went out, there are no records of him among the human race and other races of the cosmic sea.

Only the Eastern Emperor's Holy Land has records of the Dark Star Demon God.

"Dark Star, I need you to do something for me."

"That is to eliminate the current Lord of Chaos among the human race."

"Although the opponent has many avatars, their will has reached the level of a true god."

"However, it's impossible for all his avatars to be equipped with soul treasures."

"So, you should be able to directly annihilate its soul, right?"

The Purple Moon Ancestor didn't beat around the bush and stated his purpose directly.

"As ordered!"

Dark Star Demon God agreed without hesitation.

Not to mention that this was something he had promised when he entered the Purple Moon Holy Land.

He would obey Ziyue's every command as long as she needed him.

Given that his small universe has been destroyed and his life imprint is now attached to the Purple Moon Holy Land, he has no choice but to obey orders.

He was a ninth-order true god, and he was skilled in the soul.

In his view, killing a cosmic ruler was a piece of cake.
The Soul Masters of the Cosmic Sea are mostly eighth- or seventh-order True Gods.

People with ninth-tier strength who are also skilled in soul attacks are extremely rare, almost nonexistent.

This is why the original ancestor has such a powerful deterrent effect.

The reason why these forces in the Cosmic Sea are wary of Luo Fan is because his will is extremely terrifying, having reached the level of the strongest being in the universe.

Moreover, there are so many incarnations.

Given Luo Fan's talent, who can guarantee that he isn't skilled in soul attacks?
The will of the strongest beings in the universe is so powerful that even if these eighth-order true gods used soul attacks, it would be difficult to destroy Luo Fan's soul.

Killing one of the avatars directly is easy, but what happens next?
They are about to face an attack from Luo Fan's million avatars!
To directly annihilate Luo Fan's soul, one's will must at least reach the level of a Void True God.

Currently, in the cosmic sea, only the Star Lord of the Black-Patterned Stone Pillar space possesses a will capable of reaching this level.

There is no conflict of interest between the other party and the human race.

Moreover, Lord Beichi Star is a kind-hearted person and would definitely not attack Luo Fan.

This has led many cosmic sea forces to start thinking about how to befriend the human race.

It's not just because of Luo Fan's incarnation, but also because of his potential.

These powerful individuals wouldn't care if their potential hadn't been realized into actual strength in the past.

But things are different now.

Because of the appearance of Qingqiong, two more inheritances suddenly appeared here.

Given Luo Fan's current state, he might very well be able to obtain a legacy. If he can cultivate a good relationship with the human race, even just a small amount leaked from them would be enough to ensure they have enough to eat.

Therefore, many forces are now thinking about how to build a good relationship with Luo Fan.

……

Luo Fan paid no attention to what was happening outside.

He remained completely focused on solving the Rhinoceros Emperor's Case.

As time went on, he solved more and more games.

In just a short time, he had already solved 3,000 games, which is the third stage.

He also received the reward of reaching the third stage of the puzzle – a 50% increase in comprehension!
It's worth noting that when he reached the second stage and received the system reward, his comprehension level reached over 70 billion!
In other words, if he claims the reward this time, his comprehension will directly exceed 100 billion!
He knew that every time his comprehension increased tenfold, he would enter a state of sudden enlightenment.

Each moment of enlightenment brings greater rewards than the last.

Therefore, he did not intend to claim the reward directly.

Claim your reward now, enter a state of enlightenment, and use it to solve the Rhinoceros Emperor's puzzle?
This thing isn't worth wasting a single epiphany on.

After all, the Rhinoceros King Bureau plays a significant role.

However, it only represents an assessment.

Moreover, he can resolve the situation himself in the future.

With his current level of understanding, he is fully capable of reaching the fifth stage within the allotted time.

Since that's the case, he decided to save this opportunity for enlightenment.

Because he didn't know what the next few tests would be.

Perhaps this epiphany will come in handy later.

Moreover, even if it's not needed, it can be saved for future study of divine power paths or for creating secret techniques.

When Luo Fan reached the third stage, Qing Qiong reappeared.

People have long since become numb to it.

This time, Qingqiong didn't say much, but just looked at Luo Fan with expectant eyes.

Luo Fan's avatar also created two more missions when the situation reached the third stage.

[Mission: Reach the fourth stage of the Rhinoceros Emperor's Rank; Reward: Doubled Comprehension]

[Mission: Reach the fifth stage of the Rhinoceros Emperor's Rank; Reward: Double your Comprehension]

Looking at the mission rewards, Luo Fan's eyes were filled with excitement.

As his comprehension improved, he was able to comprehend the laws at an increasingly faster pace.

At this moment, the primordial universe avatar sensed that it was only a little short of fusing the three profound mysteries of the fundamental laws of time.

Not only that, but he is also about to fully comprehend all eight laws of fusion.

Yes, during this period, the original universe avatar's comprehension of the laws has been progressing in tandem.

Because of his terrifying talent, Luo Fan didn't even choose which law to comprehend first.

The terrifying affinity of the original universe clone with the laws allowed him to simultaneously comprehend the fundamental law of time and the eight fusion laws.

The speed at which I came to understand things didn't slow down much.

Luo Fan can now sense that if he wants, he can directly comprehend the fundamental laws of time and instantly break through to the level of a universe master.

However, he is still in the evaluation stage.

Assessments are all the same.

The lower the level of attainment, the lower the requirements.

Just like now, he only needs to solve 5,000 games to reach the fifth stage.

If he breaks through, he will need to solve 7,500 games.

Therefore, he was naturally suppressing his cultivation level.

He plans to wait until he obtains the inheritance before making a breakthrough!
And so, time continued to pass.

The number of examinees in the General's Mansion is also increasing.

During this period, many of the universe's strongest beings, along with their clan's immortals and venerables, came here to undergo assessments.

After the assessment content was leaked, they couldn't guarantee that they would definitely be able to inherit it.

However, solving two thousand games to reach the first stage is still not a problem.

After all, each of these strongest beings in the universe is a true genius.

They all broke through on their own through trial and error.

After all, the legacy of the strongest beings in the universe is extremely rare in the cosmic sea.

Even if there are any, they can probably only be used as a reference.

As for the experiences of the strongest beings in other universes, they are not easy to learn from.

Because once a cosmic master breaks through to become the strongest in the universe, his path will be blocked.

The remaining people cannot rely on this method to follow the exact same path to break through as the strongest being in the universe.

Therefore, in the cosmic sea, those who can break through to become the strongest beings in the universe are all geniuses.

They were confident in their own comprehension.

Since they wouldn't die, they weren't willing to just stay outside and watch.

Just as all the major forces were participating in the assessment, the Dark Star Demon Lord also left the Purple Moon Holy Land.

Almost no one knew about his departure.

After all, very few people in the universe know the identity of the Dark Star Demon Lord.

As for the Purple Moon Holy Land, he was originally a solitary strongest in the universe, so he was also quite reclusive.

Moreover, he has remained in the Purple Moon Holy Land for countless reincarnations and has never come out.

Therefore, the powerful figures in the Purple Moon Holy Land would never have imagined that the Dark Star Demon Lord would one day leave the Purple Moon Holy Land.

Upon leaving the Purple Moon Holy Land, the Dark Star Demon Lord headed towards the closest of the three forbidden lands, the Inclined Peak Realm.

The Universe Lord of the Purple Moon Holy Land also collected some information about Luo Fan.

Therefore, he knew that Luo Fan's avatars were spread across the three forbidden zones.

Basically, once you enter one of the three most dangerous places, the probability of encountering Luo Fan is very high.

There was no way around it; Luo Fan had too many incarnations.

Because his dominance on the original planet was too strong, he has now left only 10081 avatars on the original planet.

The rest can either refine supreme treasures or explore the cosmic sea.

Therefore, the Dark Star Demon Lord doesn't need to choose where to find Luo Fan.

He only needs to enter any dangerous place.

Because the human race had been living in the Peak Realm before.

Therefore, Luo Fan has quite a few incarnations within the Peak Realm.

The Dark Star Demon Lord arrived at the outer domain of the Peak Realm in just a few days.

Looking at the massive, collapsed mountain before him, the Dark Star Demon Lord felt a touch of emotion and nostalgia.

He hadn't explored the Cosmic Sea for a long time.

Since his miniature universe was damaged, he has hardly left the Purple Moon Holy Land.

After all, he was originally a ninth-level soul master, and he possessed two supreme treasures!
There is also a supreme treasure of the soul attack type that is very suitable for him, and a supreme treasure of the domain type.

Therefore, he himself does not lack treasures.

Because the Dark Star Demon Lord is immune to physical attacks, armor and palace-type treasures are not very useful to him.

He has an offensive Arcana.

As for the soul defense type, the supreme treasure he possesses, which is a soul attack type, can weaken the enemy's soul attack to one millionth of its original value, which is enough for him.

Therefore, he has no shortage of treasures.

Furthermore, with his miniature universe shattered, he was unable to make any progress, so he simply retired to the Purple Moon Holy Land.

This time, he planned to assassinate Luo Fan and then take a look at the inheritance.

He only found out about this from the Lord of Bloodblade; otherwise, he wouldn't have known.

He planned to go and see if the other party had any means to restore his small universe.
