Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 262 Enslaving the Lord of the Universe

The primordial universe, Chaos City.

At this moment, the entire Chaos City became more lively than ever before.

With a great war looming, the human race's leadership naturally prepared for the worst.

All the immortal gods, cosmic venerables, and a large number of core geniuses at the cosmic, domain lord, and world lord levels who were originally scattered throughout the human territory were naturally sent to the absolutely safe universe long ago.

Especially those immortal gods and cosmic venerables, they are the true elites accumulated by the human race over billions of eras.

Even if humanity is defeated and retreats to the initial universe, with this group of core elites and the guidance of the ancient civilization, humanity will soon be able to cultivate a large number of universe venerables and universe masters. At that time, it will not be difficult to launch a counterattack against the original universe!

Of course, this is only the worst-case scenario; the human race's powerful figures would absolutely not want to take this step unless absolutely necessary.

"call!"

Zhou Yang's figure suddenly appeared in the endless high sky of the primordial universe.

He looked down at the land below, and at the only ancient city on the land, where a large number of cultivators were practicing.

Some were immersed in comprehending the Chaos Stele, some were observing the visible threads of law in the sky, and some were in seclusion to study it.

There are even some cosmic-level little guys capturing those special 'chaotic beasts' outside Chaos City to obtain those wisps of wondrous Chaos True Spirit. Those are all Heng-level geniuses who were absorbed in the most recent Genius Battle, and now they have all broken through to the cosmic level.

Seeing them, Zhou Yang couldn't help but recall the scene of his first visit to Chaos City.

At that time, I entered the Virtual Universe Company with the first place in the Genius Battle, and I also possessed the treasure "Meteor Tear". I was full of pride and never took any genius seriously.

Later, before the end of his first training in Chaos City, he successfully passed the eighth level of the Bridge to Heaven, shocking the high-ranking officials. He eventually became a disciple of the Chaos Monument Guardian, Kandri, and learned the clone technique, which was of great significance to him.

However, given Zhou Yang's current understanding, it might be more accurate to call it a "soul diversion technique".

Later, it was through this original version of the "Soul Dividing Technique" and the Blood Incarnation Technique he comprehended from the "Original True Understanding" obtained in the Ancient God World that Zhou Yang gradually integrated and perfected his current special clone technique.

With this clone technique, one can create extremely realistic clones, which further accelerates the speed of cultivation and comprehension. Whether it is comprehending laws, deducing secret techniques, or studying chaotic patterns and weapon crafting techniques, one will benefit greatly.

It can be said that Chaos City was the starting point for his true rise on his path of cultivation!

"I never imagined that I would have been in this world for over a hundred thousand years."

Zhou Yang sighed softly.

Hundreds of thousands of years—if this were on Earth in my previous life, it would be an absolutely despairing timescale for the entire human civilization.

However, in this world, it is nothing more than a flick of the finger in the eyes of the powerful.

For some powerful immortals and cosmic venerables, a single period of secluded meditation could easily exceed this time.

"The meaning of time differs in the eyes of beings at different levels. Even if one grasps the complete laws of time, one cannot truly say that one has mastered time itself."

At this moment, Zhou Yang felt a strange and subtle stirring in his heart.

The laws of time may simply be the simplest framework of 'time,' a most basic explanation. But above the laws of time, there may be a more complete set of 'rules' that govern the operation of all things.

After a moment, Zhou Yang finally came to his senses, but couldn't help shaking his head and chuckling softly:

"I'm not even a true god, so thinking about these things is too far-fetched. Let's get down to business first."

The City Lord's Mansion, Chaos Ruins.

This place is where the Lord of Chaos City resides and cultivates, and it is also the core of the operation of the entire primordial universe.

On the endless land, countless corpses of powerful individuals were scattered everywhere, each one exuding a terrifying aura that sent chills down one's spine.

call!

Zhou Yang's figure appeared directly on this land.

"teacher."

Zhou Yang looked at the towering figure in the center of this world, dressed in dark red battle armor, with a scaled tail and fiery red horns, whose aura was as profound as the universe.

"what?"

The Lord of Chaos City looked at Zhou Yang, his gaze filled with slight doubt.

As the controller of the entire primordial universe, he can mobilize a trace of the primordial power of the primordial universe. With the blessing of this trace of primordial power, it can be said that no one who enters the primordial universe has any secrets from him.

However, when he looked at the disciple in front of him, he found that the disciple seemed to be beyond this space and time. Even he, the controller of the primordial universe, could not seem to truly capture his figure.

"Your aura?"

The Lord of Chaos City couldn't help but be surprised.

"I had just gained some insight before coming to see the teacher."

Zhou Yang replied with a smile.

"You've gained some insight? Haha, good, it's great to have gained some insight!"

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Chaos City laughed and said, "It seems that you might break through even faster than your teacher."

Zhou Yang shook his head: "I can't compare to you, teacher. You have a profound foundation, and your breakthrough is probably just a thought away. I still need to accumulate more experience."

He looked at the Lord of Chaos City as he spoke, "Teacher, I have come here for the sake of those three Demon Race Universe Lords."

"Oh?"

The Chaos City Lord's eyes lit up, and he looked at Zhou Yang, pressing for an answer: "Are you confident?"

"I'm fairly confident, let's give it a try first," Zhou Yang said cautiously.

"Okay, then you give it a try!"

The Lord of Chaos City nodded, and with a wave of his hand, a majestic palace entirely black appeared on this land.

"Those three demon race universe lords are inside. They probably still think that the two demon ancestors will come to rescue them, so they didn't choose to self-destruct."

"None of these three have clones. If they were to self-destruct, they would perish completely. So, we're not that decisive."

Zhou Yang said, "Teacher, please let me in."

"it is good."

The Lord of Chaos nodded, and with a wisp of his consciousness, a black door on the side of the black palace opened, and a powerful suction force instantly descended upon Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang did not resist, but instead followed the force and plunged directly into the black palace.

The Black Palace Treasure is a top-tier palace-type treasure controlled by the Lord of Chaos City.

In the previous battle against the demon race, the human race, through the combined efforts of Luo Feng's will impacting the treasure Ancient God Eye, captured six demon race universe lords in one fell swoop.

Of these six cosmic rulers, two had avatars that chose to self-destruct the moment their consciousness returned.

The remaining four demon race universe lords were transferred to the primordial universe, where the human race's higher-ups planned to use the suppression of the primordial universe's origin to attempt to enslave their souls.

After all, if one could enslave a cosmic ruler, it would not only enhance one's own combat power, but also deal a huge blow to the morale of the enemy.

Imagine if they encountered their former comrades or clansmen on the battlefield; at the very least, those demon race's universe lords would hesitate a little before making a move.

In battles between top-tier experts, a moment's hesitation can rewrite the outcome of a fight!

However, although the plan was good, it was quite difficult to actually implement.

Because the divine power and soul of the Lord of the Universe are extremely powerful, although there have been examples of soul control, these are things that only the strongest beings in the universe who are extremely skilled in soul control can accomplish, and even then, success is not guaranteed.

After all, those universe lords would rather self-destruct than be controlled.

Previously, one of the four demon race universe lords who were captured chose to self-destruct when the Giant Axe Founder attempted to enslave their souls, which made the human race powerhouses dare not try it again.

Later, Zhou Yang took the initiative to suggest that he might have a way to enslave those few universe lords, so the Chaos City Lord directly suppressed the remaining three universe lords temporarily and waited for him to try.

"call!"

Zhou Yang's figure appeared in a dark space. In this space, there was a huge celestial wolf, a four-legged beast resembling a lion with flames burning all over its body, and a large blue snake lying down. These were the three universe lords of the demon race who had been suppressed.

The moment Zhou Yang appeared, the three universe lords all turned their gazes toward him.

"Human Zhou Yang?"

"The Lord of Reincarnation?"

"Hmph, damned humans!"

They didn't resist at all, because they knew that resisting would be pointless within the enemy's sealed treasure.

Zhou Yang looked at the three Universe Lords and shouted directly:

"Tianlang, Cangjiu, Xuezhan, I'll give you a chance to test a secret technique for me. If you can help me gain some understanding, I will decide to let you go."

However, the three cosmic lords didn't even lift their eyelids.

"Hmph, humans, kill us if you want, why humiliate us?"

Let them out? They'd have to be crazy to believe Zhou Yang!

"Not cooperating?"

Zhou Yang sneered, "Then I have no choice but to forcibly enslave you!"

As he spoke, an invisible wave instantly spread from his body, directly enveloping the three demon race universe lords.

When this invisible wave descended, the three demon race universe lords who were originally lying prone all changed their expressions instantly!

"Such powerful spiritual strength! This... this is probably even stronger than that of the Demon Ancestor Zhen and the Demon Ancestor Meng!"

"Oh no, he's trying to enslave me. He's too strong, too strong, I can't take it anymore."

"Self-destruct! Self-destruct! I'd rather die than be enslaved by humans!"

"Oh, damn it, damn it, let's all die together!"

"My people, my people, Demon Ancestor, take good care of my people!"

The three universe lords roared in despair, but when they realized they could not resist, they chose to self-destruct without hesitation!

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

After the deafening roar, everything seemed to calm down.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that after mastering the 'True Understanding of the Myriad Beginnings,' my casual illusion attacks would be so powerful. It truly lives up to its reputation as a powerful inheritance that can reach the Chaos Realm!"

In the dark space, Zhou Yang's laughter rang out softly.

Before him, the three demon race universe lords remained lying peacefully on the ground, without making any move from beginning to end.

In fact, the moment he entered this space, an invisible illusion had already unfolded.

Everything that just happened—including the conversation with the three universe lords and their self-destruction—occurred within the illusion.

The three demon race universe lords were completely unaware of all this, still believing that they had truly self-destructed and perished.

At this moment, the three demon race universe lords all revealed a look of 'liberation' in their eyes, and their consciousness was almost completely unguarded.

Without hesitation, Zhou Yang sent a wisp of his soul power deep into the divine bodies of the three universe lords, leaving his mark on every inch of their life essence.

The next instant, the three demon race universe lords instantly regained their senses, and all three bowed their heads to Zhou Yang.

"Owner!"
