Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 155 Perfection

On a mountaintop in a mysterious space, Zhou Yang had been sitting silently for nearly four thousand years.

The Realm Lord level is the stage where it is easiest to comprehend the laws of the universe.

With the added benefits of the Three Souls Nine Refinements, the Chaos Stone, numerous clones, and the incomparably profound Law Images, Zhou Yang's speed of comprehending the Laws soared at an incredible rate.

Four thousand years have passed, and he has long since reached a bottleneck in his understanding of the eight lower laws: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, and light.

As long as he chooses any law and takes that final step, he will immediately achieve an immortal body with eternal life!

With that mysterious and secret pattern as a reference, he made great strides forward in the path of law fusion.

In the past, he could only fuse a very small part of the profound mysteries of the eight lower-level laws, barely enough to generate the power of spacetime.

Now, however, he can merge space and time again, giving birth to a true prototype of chaos!

Perhaps only now, at this point, has Zhou Yang truly entered the door on the path of multi-law fusion!

In fact, whether it was comprehending the eight lower-level laws to the point of bottleneck or completing the final step of integrating the laws of spacetime, both were things that Zhou Yang had already accomplished three thousand years before entering this space.

Unlike Luo Feng, he didn't have the trouble of creating clones, so he could have started to break through to become an immortal long ago.

The reason for the delay until now is that we are waiting for some kind of crucial transformation to be completed.

"It'll be soon, it'll be soon!"

Zhou Yang watched silently.

At this moment, within his body, thirty-six profound meridian diagrams, inscribed and imprinted with the power of the world, were radiating dazzling light.

Strands of cosmic energy continuously flowed into his body, then traveled along these 36 meridians, eventually being transformed into a magical energy that permeated every one of his genes.

Nourished by this miraculous energy, his life gene level began to continuously improve.

Once the level of life's genes exceeds 9000, the rate of improvement becomes extremely slow, as if trapped in a shackle, with each step forward consuming more time.

9500...9600...

At this moment, his life gene level is already high enough to surpass many extraordinary life forms!

Many unique and special life forms have not crossed the 9000 mark. Even the Insect King, which was treasured by the Ancestral God Cult in the original work, was only more than 5000 times larger!

"990010000"

Progress became increasingly difficult; the level of life's genes struggled to improve with each desperate attempt, the improvements being extremely small, yet nonetheless continuous.

"100301006010080"

Finally, finally!

With that final, extremely difficult leap, Zhou Yang's life gene level finally crossed that barrier—

"10081 times! The perfect genetic level of the primordial universe!"

At this point, Zhou Yang's overall life gene level improvement completely stopped.

In his perception, every inch of his skin, every muscle and bone had reached a perfect state, as if it were the most perfect work of art in the universe!

The life genes seem to have reached a point of perfection, and can no longer be improved.

"Crackling sounds, crackling sounds~~~"

At this moment, however, his body began to change rapidly.

A violent storm seemed to have erupted within his inner world, with endless world power surging wildly and rapidly merging into his flesh and blood.

As this massive amount of world power was integrated into him, his size began to grow rapidly!

5000 km high, 1 km high, 2 km high, 5 km high...

The power of the world continues to merge, and this surge continues unabated.

finally--

He finally stopped growing when his entire body had grown to a height of over 90,000 kilometers.

"Perfect."

Although Zhou Yang didn't understand why he had this perception, he inexplicably knew that this height... was the true perfect state in this primordial universe!

But just as his height growth stopped, an incredible, mysterious power descended across endless time and space!

"boom!"

Zhou Yang's entire inner world froze instantly.

Within the inner world, the clones sitting around the Chaos Stone, and the three demon race immortals, including the Blood Gu King who had already been controlled by Zhou Yang as soul slaves, all instantly fell into a daze.

On the boundless continent, the weeds blown by the wind still drooped low, and the rolling waves in the distant endless ocean stopped, with the scattered water droplets suspended in mid-air. Even the flames on the Flaming Mountain and the snowflakes falling in the Black Ancient City were frozen in time.

During this process, a mysterious force was directly poured into his life core, causing it to undergo a rapid transformation.

The color of the life core keeps changing.

Fiery red, emerald green, sky blue, earthy yellow, dazzling gold. In the end, however, it all turned into a hazy, chaotic mess.

This seemingly ordinary primordial nucleus appears to contain endless mysteries!

While Zhou Yang's life core was being transformed by this power, his consciousness was drawn by some inexplicable force and instantly arrived at a mysterious place!

"Is this the very core of the universe's origin?"

Zhou Yang did not panic. Instead, he quietly began to look around.

This was a slightly dim space, with countless points of light floating densely in it.

Each point of light seemed to contain incredible power, filling him with awe.

"These individual points of light, do they represent different kinds of powerful innate techniques? I wonder what kind of technique I'll obtain later."

Just as he was thinking this—

call out!

One of the points of light suddenly transformed into a streak of light and shot rapidly toward his consciousness. Its speed far exceeded the speed of light, as if the speed of light was no longer the limit here.

"laugh!"

Before Zhou Yang could react, the light spot had already touched his consciousness.

"Boom~~~"

Images flashed rapidly into Zhou Yang's consciousness!

His consciousness seemed to see the birth of the universe, the birth of endless life, and then the destruction of the universe, a scene of world destruction, with many images flashing by, followed by endless messages merging into his consciousness.

"Buzz!"

Once the information transmission ended, Zhou Yang's consciousness was instantly kicked out of this space.

Deep within the mysterious space of the Time-Space Prison, Zhou Yang's consciousness instantly returned.

His towering body, reaching over 90,000 kilometers in height, stood majestically on the boundless earth, while his consciousness rapidly processed the additional mysterious information.

That was an extremely heaven-defying secret technique bestowed by the original will of the primordial universe!

This secret technique was directly imprinted in his consciousness. He didn't need to understand the principle of this secret technique or how it was created. As long as his consciousness activated it, he could directly use it!

The secret technique is called "Light of Annihilation," and its power is extremely strong.

Once unleashed, the divine power burns, forming a terrifying beam of light capable of destroying all matter and soul in this world!

The more divine power is burned, the more powerful the resulting "Light of Annihilation" becomes!

Theoretically speaking, as long as there is enough divine power burning, a single 'Light of Annihilation' could even directly destroy a small universe!

Of course, such an extraordinary talent technique also has extremely high requirements for its execution.

According to the detailed information provided, the minimum requirement for casting the innate secret technique "Light of Annihilation" is to break through to the Immortal level with perfect genes!

Secondly, it requires burning a massive amount of immortal divine power to unleash this light of annihilation!

Taking Zhou Yang's perfect genetic level of over 90,000 kilometers as an example, even the lowest level of "Light of Annihilation" would require at least 5% of his divine power to unleash!

In other words, even if he breaks through to become immortal, he can only unleash the lowest level of "Light of Annihilation" a dozen times at most before his divine power is exhausted.

As for achieving the level of destroying a miniature universe with a single blow, that's probably just wishful thinking.

However, with such a huge consumption, the power it displays must also be incredibly terrifying!

If Zhou Yang were to break through to become an immortal and then unleash this 'Light of Annihilation' by burning his divine power, it is estimated that most universe venerables would not be able to withstand it!

"Once I break through to the Immortal realm, I'll have the 'Heaven and Earth Secret Technique' for area-of-effect attacks and the 'Light of Annihilation' for single-target attacks. With these two secret techniques combined, my combat abilities will reach an unbelievable level!"

A glint flashed in Zhou Yang's eyes.

"Comprehension of laws, fusion of secret techniques, perfect genes—all goals for the Realm Lord stage have been achieved. It's time to break through."
