Swallowing the Stars: Heart of the Martial God

Chapter 99 The Generous Lord of Chaos

With no clue, Ling Xuan had no choice but to turn around and go to the inner palace of the city lord's mansion to see the Chaos City Lord.

This time, the guards outside the inner gate did not stop him, and he went straight to the Chaos Ruins where he had previously paid his respects to the Lord of Chaos City.

"City Lord, you wanted to see me?" Unlike last time, when he was a young man at the cosmic level who could be affected by the corpses in the Chaos Ruins.

Having reached the Great Sage level this time, most of the corpses here are probably no match for Ling Xuan.

"Were you just in the clan's treasure trove preparing to exchange for special life forms' physical materials to create a clone?" the Chaos City Lord asked.

“Yes.” Ling Xuan told the Chaos City Lord about his plan to create a clone.

"Your fortune is indeed remarkable." The Chaos City Lord nodded approvingly. "I originally planned to arrange for you to possess a special life form in the treasure vault and obtain an avatar after you became a World Lord, but I didn't expect you to already have one, and even more than three avatars."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xuan was relieved to have a clone, otherwise he would have suffered a huge loss; possessing a special life would have been a complete waste.

My own true form also possesses an extremely heaven-defying secret technique.

He couldn't imagine any special life form in the primordial universe whose innate talents and secret techniques could compare to his own.

If this special life form is possessed, this innate secret technique will be wasted.

Then I'll have to waste a spot to conceive my own body.

"How did you know about the Nine Nether Sea, which is at the level of a World Lord?" the Chaos City Lord asked again. This was a secret that even they, the ancient cosmic lords, did not know.

Ling Xuan immediately stiffened and cupped his hands, saying, "This is my speculation. According to the intelligence in the virtual universe, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds has several Venerable-level children. However, the combat power of these Venerable-level Nine Netherworld Sea beings is only average among Venerables. Their genetic multiplier may not be high. They should not be unique special life forms in the universe. They should be like the World Tree, with several World Lord-level children."

This was the explanation Ling Xuan had already thought of, whether it was to face the Lord of the Nine Nether Sea himself or to answer the questions from his elders.

"Yeah, that makes sense."

"If you go to the Nine Nether Sea, you must be extremely careful."

In that Netherworld, the Lord of the Netherworld is an invincible being; even your teacher, Giant Axe, cannot defeat him.

There, he could even possess the power to bring down the Lord of the Universe, so even I wouldn't want to go to the Nine Netherworld.

No one in the universe knows the secret that the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds has a child at the level of a World Lord, probably because he doesn't want anyone to create a clone of the Nine Netherworlds.

If you were to directly seek out the Nine Nether Sea, a realm master level realm, to nurture your clone, you would surely anger him.

Therefore, I advise you not to reveal your purpose before you nurture the Nine Netherworld clone.

If it really comes to a last resort, you can mention my name. The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds and I have cooperated for many years and have some relationship. He recently owed me a favor, and it's time for him to repay it.

"Thank you, City Lord." Ling Xuan bowed gratefully.

"By the way, City Lord, the treasure vault system seems to be malfunctioning..." Ling Xuan recalled the matter of nurturing the Thousand-Faced Wind Spirit.

Upon hearing this, the Chaos City Lord waved his hand, interrupting Ling Xuan, and said, "If I remember correctly, the World Lord-level nutrient capsule you applied for was 37 times, right?"

Ling Xuan nodded.

“I was the one who stopped that treasure vault. I was thinking, wouldn’t it be better if you could increase your gene count a bit more and give birth to an even more extraordinary special life form?”

As he spoke, he flipped his hand, and a piece of skin of unknown origin appeared in his palm.

"This is the skin of a special life form that I encountered by chance when I was exploring the universe. It was named Zhou Heng. It was born with 1,200 times the life genes, was a soulless energy-type life form, and possessed three great innate secret techniques."

Firstly, Time Forbidden, as the name suggests, is one of the three major branches of the Law of Time. The stronger you are, the stronger this innate secret technique becomes. Compared to opponents stronger than you, the greater the gap, the smaller the impact.

Secondly, it is ever-changing and can simulate the aura and form of any life form it has ever seen.

Thirdly, super-aggregation is a type of amplitude-based secret technique that can preserve one's own state for a period of time and amplify it by up to 64 times.

Both of your innate secret techniques are related to time, so you could say your talent in the laws of time is exceptional. Want to give them a try?

Ling Xuan was overjoyed upon hearing this; it was practically tailor-made for him.

Not only does it have a high gene count, but it's also a time-based, energy-based life form, and it can even transform.

This is amazing! He almost suspected it was a package delivered to him by the Primordial Universe, signed for by the Lord of Chaos City. "We have to try it, we have to try it," Ling Xuan nodded vigorously.

"It was originally prepared for my future disciples, but now I've given it to you. Once you successfully nurture it, you must return one to me." The Chaos City Lord handed the Zhouheng skin to Ling Xuan.

"Of course, once I'm born, you can choose whichever part of my body you like." Ling Xuan happily accepted Zhou Heng's skin.

After receiving it, Ling Xuan began to think. His clone technique could only nurture life forms with a gene multiple of up to ten times that of his own, while Zhou Heng's gene multiple was 1,200 times. This meant that he needed to reach at least 120 times the gene multiple.

That's why the "Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique" is so good; you should definitely practice it.

One must cultivate to at least the sixth level, reaching 188 times the life gene density, to give birth to this Universe Balance Avatar.

Fortunately, the first few levels can be cultivated with the help of treasures, so it's not too difficult.

All you need to do is place an order for the cream puffs.

"Work hard. A World Lord can cultivate in seclusion in Chaos City for three thousand years, and a Domain Lord for three hundred years. After you finish your seclusion, you will have to go through life and death trials. If you can nurture this Universe Balance Avatar, your ability to protect yourself will greatly increase."

"Thank you, City Lord." Ling Xuan expressed his gratitude and left the City Lord's Mansion, then went to study the Nine Universe Chaos Stele.

Having not studied the Nine Universes Chaos Stele for over three hundred years, coupled with his insights gained from comprehending the power of the void and breaking through to the Great Sage level in the Chaos Ruins, he has benefited greatly.

Next, Ling Xuan began to cultivate in seclusion in Chaos City.

During this time, he had Puff continuously purchase the treasures needed for the "Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique" for him to cultivate.

Then, he would occasionally study the Nine Universe Chaos Stele and cultivate the Void Scripture under the guidance of the Void Mirror.

Three hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Ling Xuan finally mastered the sixth level of the "Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique," which cost a total of 1.2 billion points.

He also cultivated the Void Scripture to the peak of the Great Sage level, but encountered a bottleneck once again.

The deity of the Void Mirror told him that he needed to go out and gain more experience, and that he could not become an emperor by simply cultivating hard.

Ling Xuan still lacks real combat experience. He is already quite talented to have broken through to the Great Sage level, and the virtual universe has also provided him with some training.

Ling Xuan's cultivation path has been marked by few battles; in the words of the Void Mirror, he hasn't yet developed an invincible spirit.

So he immediately decided to end his secluded cultivation in Chaos City.

Continuing to sit idly for another three thousand years would only be a waste of time.

He was immediately teleported to the palace of the Giant Axe Founder on Tianzhou Island to request a life-and-death training mission at the World Lord level, as well as some minor privileges.

“Teacher.” Ling Xuan bowed respectfully as soon as he entered the palace.

However, the Giant Axe Founder sitting on the throne did not react at all, clearly focusing all his energy on his own body.

They are either facing a danger that requires their full strength, or fighting and killing the strongest beings in the universe.

Ling Xuan dared not disturb the creator of the giant axe, so he had no choice but to teleport to the palace of the Lord of Void Gold.

"senior."

"You've arrived. Are you preparing to leave the Initial Universe to gain experience?" the Lord of Void Gold chuckled.

"I just went to the Master's Giant Axe Temple and found that the Master is fully engaged in dealing with something and has no time to spare. I wonder if the Master is in any danger?" Ling Xuan asked with concern.

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Void Gold laughed and said, "The Giant Axe is currently vying for a supreme treasure on the Primordial Star, where it is impossible to contact the virtual universe. Moreover, fighting against the strongest being in the universe requires even the Giant Axe to go all out."

Ling Xuan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. If it was a contest with the strongest being in the universe for a supreme treasure, then there would be no problem, especially since the strongest being in the primordial universe could not possibly perish.

As long as we don't get stuck in some dangerous place in the ocean of space, it's fine.

However, since the Primordial Star has already produced a treasure that requires the intervention of the Giant Axe Founder, the most powerful being in the universe, it means that the opening of the Primordial Star this time is nearing its end.
