I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

A view from 10,000 meters above the ground.

At the 700th step, the original dark purple starry sky was replaced by an absolute, bottomless blackness.

This dark shadow had no boundaries or shape; it resembled a black hole formed from the collapse of a dead star.

It greedily devoured all the light and sound around it, and even the overwhelming pressure of the laws would be silently annihilated when it approached that area.

Ouyang Qianjue stood in the vacuum field, his brows furrowed in a deep knot.

"Sect Leader, what happened inside?"

Cang Yunzi was so shocked that he fell silent.

Even though he was already at the eighth level, he couldn't even touch that darkness at this moment.

Elder with the hooked nose felt a chill run down his spine:

"Level 700...that surpasses the records in the ancient texts!"

Ouyang Qianjue withdrew his senses, the light in his eyes flickering uncertainly.

In his perception, Shen Tian had completely disappeared from this world.

Both his physical body and his aura were erased by that darkness.

At this moment, inside that absolutely silent, dark place.

A blood-red projection of the starry sky slowly spread out around Shen Tian.

Hundreds of thousands of star debris floated silently in the void, and the broken bronze warships stretched for tens of thousands of kilometers, resembling floating steel continents.

Shen Tian stood in the void, his gaze sweeping over the alien corpses that were even larger than mountains, finally settling on the gray-clad man's back.

"In that battle back then, did our predecessors, who traversed galaxies, ultimately win?"

Shen Tian asked a question.

A violent fluctuation flashed in the gray-clad man's eyes, which were composed of gray nebulae.

The nebula's rotation accelerated, creating ripples in the void.

"result?"

The gray-clad man's hoarse voice carried an indescribable desolation.

I cannot give you an answer.

"At the moment of the expedition, the human race ensured that the coordinates of their ancestral star could not be traced back, and all contact between the ancestral star and the expeditionary force was completely severed. I was just a persistent obsession. Countless eras have passed, and my memory has become distorted."

"Perhaps we have already established a new home on the other side of the stars; or perhaps the expeditionary force from beyond the realm has long been annihilated. This lingering obsession of mine is the final echo of that glorious civilization left to the world."

The man in gray spoke in a low voice, but there was little grief in his voice.

Shen Tian remained silent.

His thoughts raced.

If the ancient sages were all wiped out, why haven't powerful enemies from beyond the realm descended upon Earth yet?

If they won, why did the ancient powerful beings never return?

The truth is far more complex than imagined.

The man in gray turned around, his gray nebula-like eyes scrutinizing Shen Tian from head to toe.

"But seeing you, I suddenly feel that nothing else matters."

The gray-clad man's voice unusually carried a hint of emotion.

"I just used some clumsy methods."

Shen Tian spoke calmly.

All the muscles in my body were still tense from the climb, and fine blood droplets formed dark red scabs on my skin.

The man in gray let out a low laugh.

The laughter resonated with the surrounding crimson starry sky, causing the floating star debris to tremble rhythmically.

"What a foolish idea! If all future generations of humanity were as 'foolish' as ​​you, then even if all the terrifying forces from beyond the realms swarmed out, our human race would surely be able to carve out an eternal path!"

The gray-clad man's body slowly floated up.

"Now that humanity has successors and is free from worry, my obsession should come to an end."

"If my true form has not perished, we will surely meet again in deep space. But until then..."

The gray-clad man's gaze instantly locked onto Shen Tian's body.

A burst of light, piercing through eternity, erupted from the gray nebula:

"You've got some nerve, kid. You used the immense pressure of the Heavenly Rank to force fragments of law into your flesh and bones. That's no different from swallowing burning coals! Even if you have a special physique, it would still take you at least thirty years of hard work to completely refine these hundreds of thousands of fragments."

Shen Tian's heart skipped a beat.

He didn't know much about the fragments of the laws.

He could vaguely sense that his physical body was digesting the fragments of the laws, and it would take a long time.

But I never imagined it would take thirty years!

"Since I have only this last bit of energy left, I'll bestow upon you a small favor!"

The man in gray suddenly opened his arms.

The blood-red starry sky projection suddenly collapsed.

Hundreds of thousands of star fragments transformed into pure gray currents at this moment, frantically pouring into the gray-clad man's body like an inverted galaxy.

His illusory body, like a ignited star, burst forth with dazzling gray-white flames.

"I will borrow the remaining will of this celestial realm to serve as the furnace for your physical body!"

The gray-robed man's withered fingers drew an extremely ancient rune out of thin air. As soon as the rune took shape, it transformed into a gray furnace phantom that was over a thousand feet tall, swallowing Shen Tian and the surrounding space whole.

Shen Tian was inside the oven.

The hundreds of thousands of golden law fragments that had been forcibly embedded in his muscle fibers and bone gaps began to melt.

The golden liquid, like molten lava, flowed through his veins, violently gushing through his internal organs.

Shen Tian's skin and flesh instantly turned into charcoal, revealing his dark golden bones.

But under the unreasonable regenerative power of the [Undying God-Demon Body], the charred flesh and blood regenerated wildly. Destruction and rebirth alternated on his body.

"The five internal organs are the foundation, and qi and blood are the guide!"

The gray-clad man's roar was like a thunderclap.

Shen Tian gritted his teeth.

He could clearly feel that the melting fragments of the laws were forcibly altering his cellular structure.

The fifty times the physical density granted by the [Primordial Divine Elephant] was unable to withstand the impact of this power.

Outside, in the void ten thousand meters above the ground.

The absolute darkness that shrouded the seven hundredth step suddenly began to writhe violently.

The surface of the black hole, which could originally swallow even light, was forcibly pierced by blinding beams of light.

Ouyang Qianjue retreated hundreds of meters, his sleeves fluttering wildly as he created layers of sword energy barriers in front of him to block the aftershocks of the red light.

"What was that kid doing in there?"

Cang Yunzi summoned a bronze seal, but the light on its surface appeared dim and lackluster.

His eyes widened, and he was breathing rapidly.

The hook-nosed elder's jaw chattered.

Through the edge of the riddled black hole, he vaguely saw a blurry phantom of a demon god. The phantom stood on the Milky Way and had the sky above its head. Even a wisp of its aura caused the surrounding void to collapse continuously.

Ouyang Qianjue swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"His level of life is leaping forward."

Ouyang Qianjue stared intently at the red light.

Inside a black hole.

Shen Tian's vision was completely filled with the blinding light.

[Congratulations, host! Your Divine Undying Body and Eternal Divine Elephant have undergone a transformation after being baptized by the laws, and have now merged and upgraded to a red talent!]
