Swallowing the Stars: Heart of the Martial God

Chapter 100 Heading to the Primitive Planet to Send People to Their Deaths

“This junior is indeed preparing to leave the initial universe to gain experience. Senior Void said that I lack practical combat experience and cannot advance further. I think that continuing to sit idly is futile, so I might as well go out and gain some experience and fight.” Ling Xuan said respectfully, bowing slightly, his tone firm.

Upon hearing this, the Lord of False Gold nodded slowly, his eyes filled with contemplation.

Ling Xuan's cultivation speed is astonishing. The existing human training system seems somewhat rigid or unable to keep up with his rapid progress.

"The core realm lords of the five major forces all need to undergo life-and-death trials, and are mostly divided into two types: cosmic secret realms and extraterrestrial battlefields. Which one do you plan to choose?" The Lord of Void Gold asked after pondering for a while.

“This junior is willing to go to the battlefield beyond the realm.” Ling Xuan responded without hesitation.

The secret realm of the universe is full of unknowns and variables. Once you step into it, you will inevitably be distracted and have to deal with all sorts of unpredictable situations.

In contrast, sending the main body to the battlefield outside the domain, occasionally cultivating in the AAA-level god base, and hunting one or two alien kings every now and then to complete the task can ensure safety.

The newly conceived Zhouheng avatar can then travel to the original star to engage in fierce battles with those powerful cosmic venerables.

Only in such intense battles can one quickly achieve a breakthrough to enlightenment.

If one simply participates in the life-and-death trials of ordinary realm masters in a step-by-step manner, it is unknown how much time it would take, and when one would be able to achieve a leap in strength.

"Since you've made up your mind, let's set off immediately." The Lord of Void Gold nodded again, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.

"Senior, I have come here with another request. I would like to ask you to give me some extra help and do me a favor." Ling Xuan lowered his head slightly, his eyes downcast, his words carrying a hint of expectation.

"Oh? What's convenient?" The Lord of Void Gold couldn't help but ask curiously. Based on his understanding of Ling Xuan, this child was definitely not someone who feared fighting.

Previously, there was some debate among the higher-ups about whether Ling Xuan or Cao Benqi was more outstanding, but all the universe masters unanimously agreed that Ling Xuan inherited the passion and perseverance of the human ancestors and would only forge ahead in the face of trials.

"This disciple believes his strength far surpasses that of ordinary realm lords and hopes to join the extraterritorial battlefield as a free individual." Ling Xuan raised his head, his gaze resolute, and looked directly at the Lord of Void Gold.

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Void Gold smiled and said, "That's no problem at all. I will arrange a new identity for you. In this way, you can also avoid assassination attempts by alien races."

Previously, the Zerg had sent a cosmic overlord to assassinate Ling Xuan. The Void Gold Lord knew that if other alien races knew that Ling Xuan had appeared on the extraterrestrial battlefield, they might follow suit and send powerful beings, or even terrifying beings at the level of cosmic overlords.

"Then, can my new identity be called Cao Benqi?" Ling Xuan suddenly had a brilliant idea, a sly glint in his eyes.

"Go away! We're all human, don't keep bullying him." The Lord of Void Gold was both annoyed and amused, recalling how Ling Xuan had impersonated Cao Benqi and caused a ruckus in the Immortal Temple, leading to Cao Benqi being hunted down all over the Blood Luo Continent and unable to even participate in the qualifying battle.

Sometimes, even the Lord of False Gold couldn't help but wonder how the Candle Dragon King, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, could have given birth to such an unreliable descendant as Ling Xuanzheng.

Left with no other choice, Ling Xuan could only leave the palace of the Lord of False Gold with a hint of regret.

Subsequently, he used the 1 Treasure Point he had accumulated in the Chaos Ruins to purchase two top-tier treasures, one for attack and one for armor, which he then entrusted to his main body to carry to the outer battlefield.

The Moyun Vine, which he had carefully cultivated, had already broken through to the Immortal level and could transform into the Moyun Armor to protect Ling Xuan from damage.

Meanwhile, the newly formed Zhouheng avatar, wielding the Heaven-Slaying Blade, clad in the Netherworld Armor, carrying the Void-Breaking Palace obtained from the Chaos Ruins, and wearing the top-tier Cloud-Stepping Boots exchanged from the treasure vault, set off towards the Primordial Star.

Even Zhou Heng's clone can cultivate the "Void Scripture" modified by the Heart of the Martial God.

Just like the Flame Saints in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, they can also cultivate the scriptures of the Five Great Secret Realms.

In this world, all life forms are treated equally in cultivation. With the help of the God of War's Heart, Zhou Heng's clone can condense the world's power and laws into five secret realms and obtain the "Void Scripture".

After spending some time in seclusion, Zhou Heng's clone directly cultivated his cultivation to the same level as the original body, reaching the peak of the Great Saint realm.

After all, the insights they share are the same.

It's just that they can't cultivate the "Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique," which requires flesh and blood to cultivate and condense into microparticles within the body.

The Zhouheng clone is an energy-type life form, without a fixed form, and without those particles.

However, even 1200 times the power of a peak Great Sage would be enough for Zhou Heng's clone to roam freely. Moreover, Zhou Heng's clone would not be recognized by the Lord of the Universe even if it went to the Primordial Star.

The specific reasons are as follows.

Zhou Heng's clone is an energy-type life form, similar in nature to the immortal body, but with some differences, since it uses the power of the world.

While human immortality possesses the characteristics of flesh and blood life, energy-based immortality does not.

After cultivating the Heaven-Covering Technique, his world power and laws were condensed by the Heart of the Martial God into five secret realms, and he cultivated the divine power of Heaven-Covering.

Immortality, on the other hand, is the result of the combination of the power of the world and the power of the soul, which is transformed into corresponding divine power of laws.

However, energy-based life forms do not have souls; they are merely the transformation of the world's power.

The divine power cultivated through the "Void Scripture" is composed of the same elements as the immortal divine body of energy-type life forms, both being a combination of world power and laws.

As a result, the aura of Zhou Heng's clone was already similar to that of an immortal. Although there were differences, they were not significant, as if some kind of treasure was concealing it.

Meanwhile, his life core was stored within his own space by the Void Mirror.

The Lord of the Universe controls spacetime and can detect the Void Mirror, but cannot see through the life core hidden within it.

In conclusion, the lords of the universe could not discern whether Ling Xuan's Zhouheng clone was a realm lord or an immortal.

This situation is also common in the universe; the aura of certain powerful beings is quite unique.

Based solely on past experience, they would only recognize him as a powerful, top-tier cosmic overlord.

After a long journey, Zhouheng's clone finally arrived at the original star.

Zhou Heng's clone looked ahead, where a huge vortex existed amidst a turbulent spatial current.

This vortex, with a diameter of tens of billions of kilometers, radiates endless and dazzling light, causing the surrounding space to be completely distorted and deformed.

The pressure generated by this vortex passage alone is enough to crush an ordinary immortal god into nothingness.

“This is the Primal Star Passage,” Zhou Heng’s clone said softly. “According to the information found in the virtual universe system, the opening of the Primal Star this time is nearing its end, with about 100,000 years left. Hopefully, we can obtain some good things.”

With a swift movement, he entered the dazzling passage. As he ventured deeper into the passage, the oppressive force grew increasingly intense.

Amidst a deafening roar that shook the space, Zhou Heng's clone vanished into the depths of the passage.

When it reappeared, Zhouheng's clone was already on the original star.

Standing in mid-air, he felt an endless pressure acting on him, a pressure far exceeding that of a neutron star, and even stronger than the oppression felt in the domains of some powerful individuals.

"Such intense pressure," Zhou Heng thought to himself.

His cultivation level is at the peak of the Great Sage realm, and his physical strength is comparable to that of a high-level universe venerable. With 1,200 times the genetic bonus, his strength is already comparable to some weaker top universe overlords.

But he could still feel a slight discomfort.

The original star was only 100 billion kilometers in diameter, which seemed not vast to a super-powerful being.

However, under this terrifying pressure, even if it can accelerate to near the speed of light, the acceleration process will take much longer, and sudden turns, speed changes, and other actions will be much slower than in the outside world, as if it were in a domain released by a huge domain-type treasure.

More importantly, the spatial fluctuations on the original star completely ceased, making teleportation and divine kingdom transfer impossible.

This actually makes up for Ling Xuan's weakness.
