Swallowing the Stars: Only in my later years did I come to the life-spending panel.

But when the white-robed youth stood in front of Zhou Mu for the third time, his arrogant demeanor had vanished completely. His hand holding the sword even trembled slightly, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he looked at Zhou Mu as if he were looking at a monster.

This is not even a battle on the same level!

His opponent's control over the domain and his understanding of the laws far surpassed his own, resulting in a brutal and inhumane attack on him!

Even among the star-level geniuses of the Qianwu branch in the virtual universe, he had never experienced such a one-sided battle.

Looking at the white-robed bald man opposite him, who had lost all fighting spirit and couldn't even stabilize his domain, Zhou Mu's eyes flashed with deep disappointment.

"Still unwilling to give up the fight?"

Zhou Mu shook his head, his eyes, which had witnessed countless battles in the killing space, filled with indifference. He slowly uttered a few words, "Weak, really too weak."

The moment he finished speaking, Zhou Mu vanished into thin air.

The white-robed youth's pupils suddenly contracted, and he instinctively held the third-tier Force longsword horizontally in front of his chest.

However, there was no sound of weapons clashing.

A hand crackling with purple lightning ignored the longsword's defense and abruptly pressed down on the white-robed youth's head.

"boom!!!"

Lightning erupted.

The white-robed youth's head exploded like a watermelon being smashed by a sledgehammer, red and white matter flying everywhere in the virtual space simulation, and the headless corpse collapsed.

Looking at the countless silent spectators in the stands, Zhou Mu felt utterly bored.

The so-called geniuses of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire could not put any pressure on him at all.

"Exit the final battle space."

Zhou Mu returned to his private training room in the Killing Space and did not go out again.

"Number Seven, retrieve the combat models of the top races and geniuses in the universe that the Meteorite Star lineage has encountered, as recorded in the Babata database, and set up opponents for me."

In the days that followed, Zhou Mu immersed himself in the battles against the various races of the universe recorded by Meteorite Star. Those opponents possessed all sorts of strange and wonderful talents and abilities, which made Zhou Mu feel the pressure again after a long time, but his progress also exploded once more.

Meanwhile, in a meditation room in the Black Dragon Mountain Island killing field of the virtual universe.

A towering giant, over five meters tall, dressed in black battle armor and with dark skin, looked like a demon god, sitting on a large sofa.

At this moment, a bald young man in white robes stood respectfully in front of him. He was the genius who had been repeatedly ravaged by Zhou Mu in the decisive battle space.

"Lord Mingyu."

The white-robed, bald young man's face was still somewhat pale, and a trace of indelible fear lingered deep in his eyes.

"That Star-level martial artist named Zhou Mu is truly terrifying. His domain level and his comprehension of the laws of lightning far surpass mine!"

"I couldn't even hold my own territory in front of him; I had absolutely no chance to resist."

"Oh?"

Ming Yu raised an eyebrow. He knew the strength of the bald youth in front of him. He had already stepped into the threshold of the origin of the lightning law. Not to mention the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, he could be considered a top genius even in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

He then tapped the floating screen in front of him and brought up the battle footage from the decisive battle space.

The screen was showing Zhou Mu crushing the head of the bald young man in white robes with one hand.

At first, Mingyu's expression was relatively calm, but as the video played, seeing Zhou Mu's attack, which contained and compressed the violent lightning law to the extreme without any unnecessary movements, his eyes widened suddenly and his pupils contracted violently.

"How...is this possible?"

Ming Yu stared intently at the screen. His keen eye as a domain lord-level expert allowed him to instantly discern the terrifying power hidden behind this seemingly simple attack.

His chest heaved violently, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "The domain he unleashed is no ordinary level; it's at least at the seventh level or higher, and it can even rival my domain level!"

"Moreover, his understanding of the Law of Lightning is far beyond simply stepping into the threshold of the Origin Law! This kind of extreme compression and application of the law is something that even some Domain Lord-level martial artists might not be able to achieve, let alone a Star-level expert!"

"He's only at the third level of the Constant Star Realm!"

Ming Yu abruptly stood up, his once dignified face now filled with fanaticism, his gaze seemingly trying to devour Zhou Mu alive through the screen: "Genius! A true peerless genius! A being surpassing even the elite!"

He paced back and forth in the meditation room, his hands trembling slightly with excitement.

"If... if I could recruit such a peerless genius into our Black Dragon Mountain branch and report it to headquarters, the company would definitely reward me handsomely!"

Ming Yu abruptly turned to look at the bald youth and shouted in a deep voice, "Where is Zhou Mu now? Notify me immediately as soon as he appears, I want to see him in person!"

......

Several months later, on a certain day.

In the killing space, Zhou Mu, who was engaged in close combat with a cub of a giant, swaying beast, suddenly stopped moving.

A powerful tremor ran through the depths of his soul!

It was a powerful call from the bloodline and the source, like a mother who had been pregnant for ten months and was about to give birth, feeling the strong heartbeat of the fetus about to hatch.

"The Azure Clan's avatar... is about to be formed?!"

A look of wild joy erupted in Zhou Mu's eyes. He didn't even care about the attack from the giant beast. His powerful lightning source power exploded, directly turning the giant beast into ashes.

"Exit the virtual universe immediately."

......

In the real world, inside a warehouse at an underground steel base on Mars.

As soon as his consciousness returned to his body, Zhou Mu suddenly opened his eyes and ripped off his consciousness-sensing helmet.

He rushed quickly to the center of the warehouse.

At this moment, the enormous sphere of light, which was originally two thousand meters in diameter, was violently contracting and expanding, like a giant heart that was breathing.

The chaotic light on the surface of the sphere began to collapse inward, and the golden runes merged into the core like rivers flowing into the sea.

"Click...click..."

A crisp cracking sound rang out in the silent underground warehouse. Cracks appeared on the surface of the light sphere, and dazzling light burst out from the cracks. Accompanied by an extremely ancient, savage, and heavy pressure, it was like a divine mountain descending, making Zhou Mu's body feel breathless.

boom!!!

The sphere of light shattered completely, turning into a shower of light that filled the sky.

In the center of the rain of light, a massive figure over a hundred meters tall slowly stood up.

Zhou Mu held his breath, tilted his head back, and stared intently at the second body he had conceived—the Azure Giant!

Because the energy of 300 grams of Azure Wave Marrow was far too little for a special life form like the Azure Giant, which was at the pinnacle of the universe, this clone suffered from severe malnutrition in the womb.

Unlike the normal Cangyin Clan members who were born, Zhou Mu of the Cangyin Clan did not directly cross the Daoheng Star level and possess a terrifying size of several thousand meters.

What appeared before Zhou Mu was a "miniature" giant that was only at the "Planetary Level 9" and only a little over 130 meters tall.

Even so, the oppressive sense of life force emanating from this body is still chilling.

This is where dreams begin, and where dreams come true.
