Swallowing the Stars: Heart of the Martial God

Chapter 14 The Void Sutra and the Void Mirror

"Dong Dong Dong~"

The moment Ling Xuan broke through to the stellar level, his heart pounded like a war drum, each beat causing ripples in the space.

The world around us instantly lost all color, leaving only black and white intertwined, as if time and space had frozen at this moment, and all things were witnessing this transformation.

Cosmic energy, like countless stars summoned from ancient times, surged out from the void rifts, trailing brilliant tails of light. Ignoring distance and dimension, it converged wildly toward Ling Xuan's heart, drawing magnificent energy trajectories in the air.

Thump—thump-thump—thump-thump-thump—the heartbeat grew stronger and stronger, like the roar of an ancient beast, or the chaotic sound of creation.

Under the impact of this vast energy, a dazzling golden light shone from Ling Xuan's heart, and matter frantically condensed and compressed.

In the blink of an eye, a primordial core radiating a mysterious glow took shape in the light, with a profound and mysterious pattern flowing across its surface.

At the moment the pronucleus was born, countless stars dimmed and then shone again.

An ancient aura, spanning endless time and space, emanated from the depths of chaos, carrying with it the shattered imperial might.

A streak of purple light tore through the sky and pierced straight into Ling Xuan's brow.

In an instant, Ling Xuan's consciousness seemed to be pulled into an endless dark void, and a deep, majestic whisper echoed in his ears: "I now prove my Dao through the void, and will be invincible throughout the past, present, and future..."

A flood of information surged into Ling Xuan's mind like a tidal wave, and an ancient scripture called the "Void Scripture" slowly unfolded deep within his consciousness.

This is the Dao-proving scripture from the Void Emperor of the Shrouding the Heavens world. It records the supreme secret method of traversing the void and tearing space. Between the lines flows the Void Emperor's magnificent will to roam the universe, fight against heaven and earth, and pacify the dark forbidden zone.

At the same time, a great light shone from within the primordial core, and an ancient mirror slowly emerged.

The mirror's surface was hazy, as if shrouded in a thin mist, yet it faintly exuded a terrifying pressure that could devour the void. The edges of the mirror were engraved with ancient inscriptions, which were none other than the Void Emperor's ultimate imperial weapon—the Void Mirror.

The mirror seemed to contain surging chaotic energy, occasionally flashing images of the Void Emperor conquering forbidden zones and fighting against the Dark Sovereign.

"So that's how it is..." Ling Xuan snapped out of his shock, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "I never imagined that the Heart of the Martial God would be so heaven-defying, able to connect with the boundless myriad worlds and seize the creation of heaven and earth from all worlds to nourish me alone!"

His heart was surging with excitement. Recalling the scene of the Void Emperor's inheritance descending, he still felt as if it were a dream.

"The Void Emperor's combat power is comparable to that of the most powerful Universe Lords in this universe. If the Void Mirror is fully revived, it might truly have the strength to rival a Universe Lord!"

Ling Xuan muttered to himself. This was information obtained from the Heart of the Martial God. Ling Xuan didn't need to rely on his memory to judge whether the Void Emperor's strength was effective in this universe.

At this moment, the Void Mirror was quietly nurturing within the newly formed primordial core of his body, like a lurking ancient beast.

The innate secret technique bestowed when the original will of the primordial universe descended last time was also engraved on the original core, forming a secret pattern. However, the secret pattern seems to be more complex now.

Activating this rune will unleash your innate secret technique.

This Void Mirror could become his ultimate trump card against powerful enemies, but the energy required to fully revive it would be astronomical.

With his current stellar-level power, even using the Void Mirror, he could only hold it above his head to save his life.

To truly unleash the supreme imperial might, it will likely require the autonomous revival of the deities within this Void Mirror.

Ling Xuan tried to communicate with the deity of the Void Mirror, but the reply he received was to stop bothering him and go play somewhere else.

Fortunately, there was some response, so he wasn't completely without a way to call for help. At the same time, Ling Xuan keenly sensed that the fluctuation of the fire law that he had faintly sensed back at the planetary stage was now becoming increasingly clear.

If before, one could only catch a faint trace of the law through a thick stone wall, now, after breaking through to the stellar level, it's as if one is only separated by a thin veil. One can directly feel the rolling heat waves emanating from the law of fire. It's a scorching heat that's almost tangible, as if one could reach out and touch the outline of the law.

"There's no time to lose. Let's strike while the iron is hot and try to comprehend a trace of the Flame Law in one go!" Ling Xuan's eyes were burning with determination. Without further hesitation, he quickly sat down cross-legged, concealing his aura and immersing his entire mind in comprehending the Flame Law.

He closed his eyes tightly, resonating with the faint fluctuations of the laws of fire in the outside world, and keenly sensing the scorching Dao hidden in the universe.

Time passed quietly as Ling Xuan immersed himself in the world of comprehending the laws, completely forgetting himself.

In that mysterious spiritual world, flames are no longer merely a burning element, but have transformed into vivid images: in ancient times, raging fires swept across the land, leveling mountains and rivers; or in the microscopic world, flame particles danced and collided with exquisite trajectories, releasing endless energy.

Every scene contains the secrets of the laws of fire. Ling Xuan is like a treasure hunter, searching for that crucial clue in this bizarre and wonderful world of fire.

After an unknown amount of time, Ling Xuan's body trembled slightly, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

In his consciousness space, an extremely fine golden thread quietly took shape, radiating a scorching aura as if it had been condensed from endless flames.

This is precisely the fundamental law of flame, which Ling Xuan finally comprehended after a long period of exploration and understanding.

"Success!" Ling Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with uncontrollable joy.

He stood up, his aura surging once more, and his fiery domain was instantly unleashed. The already incredibly powerful domain now possessed an added touch of the mysterious charm of the laws of fire, as if he had merged with the flames and become their master.

Filled with joy and excitement, Ling Xuan couldn't wait to head to the temple to find the temple's messenger.

Stepping into the temple, the magnificent hall is dappled with light and shadow.

The temple messenger was standing in front of the giant crystal ball, seemingly deducing something.

Noticing Ling Xuan's arrival, he slowly turned around, a hint of anticipation in his eyes: "Ling Xuan, judging from your expression, have you made a major breakthrough?"

Ling Xuan suppressed his excitement, bowed respectfully, and said, "Your Excellency, I have not failed in my mission. I have successfully broken through to the Stellar level and have comprehended a trace of the Law of Fire!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and released a fiery domain, within which a wisp of the law of fire flashed.

A hint of surprise flashed in the temple envoy's eyes, and he nodded slightly: "Good, very good! You have completed the first stage of cultivation so quickly. You truly deserve to be the genius on whom my Zhulong lineage places high hopes!"

He raised his hand and waved it, and a shimmering stone platform slowly rose up. On the platform, a simple-looking, sharp-looking three-pointed double-edged sword was placed quietly. Mysterious runes flowed across the blade. It was the top-tier fifth-order Force weapon that had been promised earlier.

"This is your reward—the Vulcan's Domain Blade. The accompanying secret technique has also been sent to your virtual universe email. You can study it carefully in the future."

Ling Xuan stepped forward and solemnly accepted the three-pointed double-edged sword with both hands. It felt heavy in his hands, yet it seemed to resonate with his thoughts.

"Thank you, Your Excellency! I will certainly live up to your expectations and continue to cultivate diligently!"
