Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 278 The Primordial Qi, the Unknown Attraction

In the new universe, Zhou Yang is still experiencing the various changes that have occurred after the first layer of the new universe was perfected.

"what?"

Suddenly, Zhou Yang exclaimed in surprise, and his entire body vanished instantly. He reappeared in a crevice between the first and second layers of the new universe.

At this moment, wisps of dark yellow gas are emerging at this point in the new universe. The growth rate is not fast, but after a short while, a ball of dark yellow gas about half the size of a person has appeared.

"The Qi of Xuanhuang?"

Zhou Yang's eyes revealed surprise.

As the master of the entire new universe, at the moment the Xuanhuang Qi was born, information about the Xuanhuang Qi naturally appeared in Zhou Yang's mind.

"The Primordial Chaos Qi was born at the dawn of creation. Once it is incorporated into a weapon, that weapon's hardness and defensive capabilities will reach an extreme level!"

Moreover, Zhou Yang had read the original novel "Stellar Transformation" and knew the true heaven-defying nature of the Xuanhuang Qi!

When the entire new universe has fully evolved and there is no longer a need to rely on the Xuanhuang Qi to stabilize the universe, the master of the universe can use the Xuanhuang Qi to condense the Xuanhuang Imperishable Body!

Once the Xuanhuang Imperishable Body is formed, it is truly immortal and indestructible, and can even break through the barriers between worlds with its physical body and travel through the 'Hongmeng' space!

Zhou Yang's face immediately broke into a smile: "I thought that because the rules of the two worlds are different, this Xuanhuang Qi would never appear again. I didn't expect that it was only conceived after the first layer of the new universe was perfected."

"The new universe is still evolving, so it's not possible to extract too much Xuanhuang Qi to condense the Xuanhuang Undying Body for the time being. However, increasing the weapon's hardness and defense won't consume much Xuanhuang Qi."

With a thought, Zhou Yang's dark gold armor disintegrated and detached piece by piece, then reassembled in mid-air into a complete humanoid suit of armor.

The Reincarnation Divine Armor is a top-tier, supreme-grade set treasure, and also Zhou Yang's first powerful treasure that can be considered supreme!

Because the chaotic runes imprinted within greatly enhance Zhou Yang's fusion technique, its importance to Zhou Yang is no less than that of a true supreme treasure.

However, as Zhou Yang's strength continued to increase, reaching a point where he could easily suppress even the strongest beings in the universe, the enhancement that the Samsara Divine Armor provided to him became increasingly limited.

However, the entire Reincarnation Divine Armor was the masterpiece of the God-King level weapon refiner, Zuo Shan Ke. Whether it was its set combination or the exquisiteness of its secret patterns, it far surpassed ordinary top-grade treasures. Therefore, Zhou Yang was somewhat reluctant to give it up.

Now is just right; the primordial energy can be integrated into the weapon, allowing its hardness and defensive capabilities to be enhanced to an extreme degree.

The Reincarnation Divine Armor is a top-tier treasure with incredible defensive capabilities.

If further enhanced by the Xuanhuang Qi, its hardness and defensive capabilities would increase dramatically, potentially allowing it to easily break through the limits of the strongest treasures and reach a terrifying level!

Moreover, with Zhou Yang's current understanding of the secret rune pattern, he can now completely imprint even more powerful 'dual' or even 'multiple' chaotic secret runes on the Samsara Divine Armor, further enhancing the power of the Samsara Divine Armor.

When the Reincarnation Armor is greatly enhanced in terms of material strength, defense, and the sophistication of its runes, it may become a major trump card in his hands!

"go!"

Zhou Yang raised his hand and pointed, and the Reincarnation Divine Armor floated out from in front of him, directly disappearing into the ball of Xuanhuang Qi, which was about half the size of a person.

Zhou Yang could sense the speed at which the Xuanhuang Qi was merging into the Reincarnation Divine Armor, and couldn't help but sigh, "Such a slow merging speed. At this rate, I wonder when it will be fully integrated."

"Forget it, we probably won't need this Reincarnation Armor in this cosmic sea for the time being anyway, so let it slowly integrate in this new universe."

Zhou Yang was about to withdraw his attention from this place.

However, at that moment, something unusual happened within that ball of primordial yellow energy, which was about half the size of a person!

"Phew~"

A wisp of golden energy, as thin as a hair, drifted out from the half-human-sized mass of primordial yellow energy.

This wisp of golden energy, in terms of its shape, color, and energy, is exactly the same as the Xuanhuang energy.

However, strangely, this wisp of golden energy could not be integrated with the main force of the primordial yellow energy, making it stand out from the crowd.

"what?"

Upon seeing this wisp of golden energy, Zhou Yang was momentarily stunned.

He couldn't help but recall the scene when he broke through to immortality.

At the moment of breakthrough, the "Meteor Tear," which had been integrated into his flesh and blood since he came into this world, unexpectedly melted away.

He still remembered the scene: first, the shape of the Meteor Tear slowly twisted, as if a shell was slowly melting, gradually melting into a drop of golden liquid. Then, under the infusion of endless divine power seawater, that drop of golden liquid continued to decompose, turning into a wisp of golden mist containing endless ancient aura.

Enveloped in that golden mist was the strongest opportunity that Zhou Yang later relied on to rise in the primordial universe and the endless sea of ​​the universe—the cultivation technique of "Stellar Transformation"!

At the time, I was so shocked by the wonder of "Stellar Transformation" that I didn't think much of the golden mist that resembled the "outer packaging" and assumed it had already dissipated naturally.

Now it seems that the golden mist had been hiding in its own new universe all along?

"Are they enemies or friends?"

Zhou Yang's mind involuntarily tensed up slightly.

As the master of the new universe, I should theoretically be able to control everything within it.

However, what is truly terrifying is that over five million years have passed, and I have never discovered the existence of this wisp of golden mist. The implications of this are enough to send chills down one's spine!

If this golden mist is a trick of a powerful but malicious individual, I, being so unaware, would likely fall into their trap easily.

Zhou Yang stared intently at the wisp of golden energy, even mobilizing the power of the entire new universe to delve into every single particle of the golden energy and examine it repeatedly, but he still couldn't find any useful information.

No, it's not fair to say we didn't find anything at all!

As Zhou Yang probed the golden energy flow with his mind, he could faintly feel a kind of hazy attraction coming from it.

The feeling was like trying to pull one's soul and spirit out of the body, trying to suck one's consciousness into some distant, unknown place.

"This...this feeling...is pulling my consciousness into some unknown place?"

Zhou Yang's brows furrowed involuntarily.

Soul, consciousness, and intention are essentially the same thing; they all represent the imprint and foundation of a life's existence.

If the soul and consciousness are obliterated, it means the death of a life.

This golden aura was subtly drawing Zhou Yang's consciousness into it, attempting to pull it into some unknown place—a truly perilous undertaking.

If one is not careful, their soul and consciousness may suffer severe damage. While it may not necessarily lead to death, it will certainly create a great obstacle to future cultivation.

"This wisp of golden energy comes from a meteor tear, and perhaps the truth behind my journey to this world lies behind that meteor tear."

Zhou Yang hesitated slightly.
