Swallowing the Stars: Heart of the Martial God

Chapter 126 Is this fucking a Realm Lord?

"This...this is simply unbelievable. His will is probably stronger than that of many cosmic venerables."

“I don’t think even we, at his level, could necessarily do that.”

The discussion among the cosmic venerables grew louder, their voices revealing undisguised astonishment.

"They only started to be affected at the 6000th floor; their willpower is terrifying," the Chaos City Lord exclaimed.

The other universe lords nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with admiration.

They all knew how terrifying the willpower pressure of the 6000th floor was. Even some cosmic venerables would experience a shock to their consciousness upon reaching this place, making it difficult to withstand and causing them to be overwhelmed by the illusion.

Ling Xuan steadily progressed above 6000 floors, then 7000, 8000, 9000...

His consciousness gradually began to fluctuate noticeably, but under the control of his powerful will, there was no sign of it collapsing.

The cosmic venerables before the virtual universe were dumbfounded, their mouths agape, unable to utter a word for a long time.

They had originally been discussing having the Universe Venerable enter to receive the inheritance, but after seeing Ling Xuan's performance, they realized how ridiculous their idea was.

"This...this is no realm lord, this is a monster." A Venerable muttered to himself.

"The strength of willpower here is probably approaching that of a cosmic overlord, isn't it?"

When Ling Xuan broke through 10000 levels, the highest meeting room fell silent. Both the Universe Venerable and the Universe Lord were shocked by the scene before them.

"He...he's almost at the top," Lord Lan Cang said softly.

He always believed that although his disciple Cao Benqi was behind Ling Xuan in the early stages, as the other party's physical talent was further developed and his talent was continuously improved, he would eventually surpass Ling Xuan and even have the opportunity to become a universe master like them.

But now he has changed his mind.

Physical talents and affinity with laws can be compensated for by possessing other special life forms or creating clones.

But willpower is lacking.

Willpower is fundamental to a person and cannot be improved directly through external forces; there are no shortcuts.

With Ling Xuan possessing such a will, the Giant Axe Founder, as his teacher, would certainly not hesitate to find Ling Xuan a special life form with the talent of creating clones that he could possess.

Do not!
Even I would fully support him in doing so. Ling Xuan could definitely become a powerful universe master, and even surpassing him would not be difficult at all.

Even if it means searching the entire universe, we must find a powerful and unique life form for Ling Xuan to possess.

The discussions in the virtual universe's pantheon had no effect on Ling Xuan whatsoever.

He continued upwards, to the 10080th floor, then the 10081st floor.

When he stepped onto the last level, his consciousness only fluctuated violently for a moment, his eyes remained clear, and a trace of solemnity appeared on his face, nothing more.

"The strength of will here is probably comparable to that of a Universe Lord. What kind of inheritance is this? Why does it require such a powerful will? Is it to select Universe Lords?"

Ling Xuan was somewhat puzzled. If it were a matter of inheritance, it would usually be chosen from the weak, and the requirement for willpower would not be so strong.

The Lord of the Universe will not easily accept another Lord of the Universe as his master.

Moreover, he was a cosmic ruler who had fallen long ago.

Some tyrannical rulers of the universe would even kick over the other party's relics, laughing and saying, "This item is destined for me," and then pocket the treasure.

Ling Xuan looked ahead with expectant eyes. A throne stood quietly in front of him, seemingly left by a powerful figure from a previous era.

On the throne was a complete set of jet-black armor, resembling a set of supreme treasures.

The armor was a deep, dark black, with a faint, mysterious sheen flowing across its surface, as if it contained the endless starry sky.

Upon closer inspection, every detail of the armor is exquisitely detailed, with smooth yet powerful lines, as if woven from the trajectories of countless stars.

"Is this what the Lord of the Universe left behind?" Ling Xuan looked at the scene before him, and an overwhelming excitement welled up in his heart.

He slowly stepped forward, reached out and gently touched the armor. The moment his fingertips touched it, a powerful force surged forth, resisting his touch.

Ling Xuan had no choice but to first guide the power of the world and carefully imprint his soul mark on it, thus recognizing this treasure as his master.

The conditions for this treasure to recognize its owner are extremely simple; as long as one's will meets the requirements, one can recognize its owner.

As the imprint was integrated, a wealth of information about this treasure flooded into his mind.

Each piece of this treasure set has its own name. The helmet is called "Sky Rift," and its pair of deep, crystalline eyes emit a cold, chilling light. It is considered a top-tier soul defense treasure.

The armor is called "Xuanji," a top-tier defensive treasure armor.

The arm guards and gauntlets are named "Dust Breaker," and are top-tier offensive treasures suitable for powerful individuals who fight with their fists and palms. They can also be used to enhance one's own weapons.

The leg guards and combat boots are called "Star Steps," a top-tier support item with a set of movement techniques engraved on them.

This is a complete set of top-tier treasures. When combined, its power is comparable to that of a single supreme treasure, making it extremely valuable.

Unfortunately, it's not a Mech-based ultimate item. If it were, this whole set would definitely be the ultimate ultimate item.

At the moment of successful recognition, a powerful and ancient voice echoed in Ling Xuan's mind; it was left by the Lord of the Universe.

"I am Xuan Gu, born at the end of this cycle of time. I am a unique life form in the universe, and I am quite similar to the peak race of this cycle, humans. I call myself Xuan Gu Giant."

Unfortunately, I was born too late, far too late.

Less than 100,000 epochs before the end of the entire cosmic cycle, I became the great cosmic lord in just 10,000 epochs.

However, the remaining 90,000 epochs have been unable to break through to become the strongest beings in the universe and have been unable to survive the catastrophe.

I'm leaving this 'Ancient Set' here in the hope that it will be of some help to those who come after me, and that there will be fewer unlucky ones like me!
Haha, but I've had quite an extraordinary journey. In the ten thousandth era after becoming the Lord of the Universe, I went to the Cosmic Sea to train in order to become the strongest being in the universe.

My time is limited, so I can only focus on exploring one dangerous place. Moreover, I have no way out, so I will not go to those areas that have been explored by other powerful people.

I must become the strongest in the universe in the limited time I have left.

Perhaps the primordial universe took pity on me, for in the 3th era of exploring the spaceship, I obtained an extremely powerful treasure that even the strongest beings in the universe would covet.

It's a pity it's an axe; I find it very difficult to use. However, a supreme treasure is a supreme treasure after all. Even though it's not handy, its power is still immense. The armor it extends into is also much stronger than my top-tier supreme treasure set.

With this giant axe, my exploration of this spaceship will be much faster.

Finally, in the fifth era, I obtained a token of a mysterious inheritance, but unfortunately, this inheritance was located in the deepest part of the spaceship.

I have gone there several times, but I have been blocked by some dangerous places and could not pass through, even though I have this supreme treasure, the giant axe.

Time is running out, but I still haven't found a way to become the strongest in the universe.

Time passed little by little, and the major powers in the primordial universe began to lead their people away from this universe.

Unfortunately, the universe is about to cycle again, and I have no hope left.

I left the supreme treasure, the Great Axe, the heirloom, along with many of my treasures and the map for exploring the spaceship, in the spaceship's storage room. I also left my top-tier treasure set and the spaceship's heirloom here, hoping that someone else will come along to obtain them.

Oh, right, I also left behind a body material of a World Lord level. I originally planned to train my offspring like those strong people after I became the strongest in the universe. Now I can leave it to your disciple to nurture an avatar. I hope you can choose a talented little guy to spread the fame of my Ancient Giant throughout the entire universe. I have been dedicated to exploring the spaceship, so much so that no one in this cycle of reincarnation knows my name!
Haha, you don't need to worry about the strength of the Ancient Giant. I am a unique life form in the universe, born at the peak of the Realm Lord level, with a life gene level of 9600 times, a height of three million kilometers, and a rock-type life form.

The three innate innate secret techniques are also incredibly powerful.

My first innate secret technique, the Giant's Body, weakens material attacks to one ten-thousandth of their original value. This is one of the reasons I dare to traverse the cosmic vessel. As a naturally occurring rock-type life form without a soul, and capable of reducing material attacks, I am inherently far stronger than other cosmic lords.

The second innate secret technique, Giant's Roar, is a powerful soul attack roar. However, this move is no longer effective in battles against the cosmic lords and can only be used against some cosmic overlords with weaker soul wills.

My third innate secret technique, the Giant's Domain, grants me complete control over a portion of spacetime within its boundaries, comparable to the control of a Universe Lord. This is also the reason I was able to quickly become a Universe Lord.

Haha, how about that? Aren't I awesome?

If your disciples are too incompetent, they won't be able to nurture the Ancient Giant, and they won't embarrass me..."

Ling Xuan was deeply moved after reading the message left by the Lord of Xuangu.

The cycle of the universe is a problem that countless geniuses and powerful figures have to face. Countless powerful figures have followed one after another, but after countless cycles of reincarnation, there are only two holy lands in the cosmic sea.

"However, he is quite lucky. He actually has a supreme treasure giant axe. With this axe, Master Giant Axe will no longer need to hide his strength. He might even become a tenth-tier powerhouse like the Primordial Ancestor."

"But it's also possible that he might perish prematurely because he's too arrogant?" Ling Xuan shook his head, banishing this outrageous thought from his mind.

Because he did not activate virtual universe synchronization, the lords of the universe could not see what was happening before their eyes.

They saw Ling Xuan from the perspective of the realm lords of the five major forces on the steps.

And those realm lords have now lost sight of Ling Xuan because their view is blocked.

"Giant Axe, quickly ask your apprentice what good things he got?" Master Peng urged with a smile.

"Haha, no rush, no rush." ​​The founder of the giant axe waved his hand with a smile.

Obtaining the inheritance of a universe master from an unknown era is nothing special; what's most important is that Ling Xuan himself possesses the combat power of a universe master.

He was considering whether he should personally visit the Ancestral God Sect to ask the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds for a share of the Nine Netherworld Seawater at the Realm Lord level.

But if the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds is unwilling, then there will be no possibility for Ling Xuan to retrieve it himself later.

Even if one is the strongest being in the universe, there is nothing one can do against the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.

In the end, the creator of the giant axe shook his head and decided to wait for Ling Xuan to go to the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds himself. If that didn't work, he would go there himself.

However, the matter of creating a second clone should also be put on the agenda.

Giant Axe pondered what kind of special life forms in the universe would be suitable for Ling Xuan.

At this moment, Ling Xuan was also pondering whether or not to nurture the avatar of this ancient giant.

First of all, this ancient giant is definitely not bad. Its divine body is large enough and its gene multiplier is strong enough. However, its only weakness is that it is not a flesh-and-blood life form and cannot cultivate the "Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique" to further increase its gene multiplier.

"A life gene level of 9600 is enough. Before breaking through to True God, the gene level is at most 100,000 times, so the strength increase is not significant. After breaking through to True God, the clone is gone, so it is meaningless. This Ancient Giant's innate secret technique is very strong and very useful. Let's choose this Ancient Giant."

Hundreds of years have passed, and Ling Xuan's "Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique" has broken through to the eighth level, activating 699164 divine elephant particles, increasing the gene multiplier by 500, enabling him to nurture most special life forms in the universe.

However, there is still a long way to go before this ancient giant clone is formed.

Ling Xuan raised his hand and waved it, storing the "Mysterious Ancient Set" and the black token into his inner world.

He steadily stepped down from the stage of succession.

Below the steps, tens of thousands of realm lords looked up at him in unison, their gazes filled with complex emotions.

Their eyes were filled with admiration and envy.

Of course, some people were extremely jealous, but Ling Xuan was the strongest and a disciple of the founder of the Giant Axe, so none of the realm lords present dared to show their malice.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, on receiving this inheritance!" The four realm lords of the Four Kingdoms Alliance stepped forward quickly, their faces beaming with sincere smiles.

Ling Xuan waved his hand, a smile playing on his lips: "Hahaha, it was just luck."

He looked around and said loudly, "I have had some good fortune today, so I'd like to take this opportunity to host a small gathering for everyone."

As soon as these words were spoken, a cheer erupted from the crowd.

Being able to befriend the direct disciple of the founder of the Giant Axe is a rare opportunity for any realm lord.

The leaders of the various realms raised their glasses and chatted about their experiences during the assessment. The topic always revolved around Ling Xuan flattening the Xuan Gu Mountain with a single palm strike, leading the way by far ahead of everyone else, passing through 10081 steps, and obtaining the inheritance and treasures of that powerful figure.

After several rounds of drinks, Ling Xuan got up to take his leave and boarded the Crimson Flame Dragon King, heading towards the outer battlefield.

Just after leaving the Qinggu Secret Realm, Ling Xuan received a summons from the Giant Axe Founder.

Come to me.

With a thought, Ling Xuan entered the virtual universe and was teleported to the Giant Axe Temple.

Ling Xuan landed in the center of the temple and bowed to the Giant Axe Founder sitting on the throne: "Teacher."

The Giant Axe Founder rose from his throne, walked up to Ling Xuan, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a booming voice, "Good lad, you did well and didn't embarrass me. Many universe lords believe that you can become the next universe lord of humanity."
