All Heavens: Originating from Swallowing the Stars

In simple terms, the overall environment of the Magnetic Storm Secret Realm is a cosmic space filled with violent magnetic fields and lightning. There are no stars or planets in the strict sense in this space, only a vast number of magnets of varying sizes, providing a foothold for life.

Unlike the Primordial Realm and the Primal Realm of the Virtual Universe Company, which have had most of their dangerous elements removed, the Magnetic Storm Realm has obviously not undergone any fundamental modifications. Magnetic fields strong enough to twist a Class D spaceship into scrap metal and lightning storms capable of easily killing low-level domain lords are almost ubiquitous in this realm.

Of course, many minerals and organisms born in such an environment are rare treasures that can be sold at high prices anywhere.

One of the most representative specialties is a plant life form that grows in an extremely strong magnetic environment. Its "Magnetic Vein Fruit" has the ability to help strong people comprehend the laws of time, and it is of great help to world lords in comprehending the laws.

According to the official pricing of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, a mature Magnetic Pulse Fruit is worth 3000 billion Universe Coins!

Such risks and rewards attract cosmic mercenaries and adventurers who crave exploration and wealth. Most of them are domain lords and realm lords who come with dreams, and they can even drive the economic development of several nearby star regions.

Moreover, the official government of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom also regards the Magnetic Storm Secret Realm as a training ground. For example, those geniuses who are given special attention in the Qianwu Secret Realm will be sent to the Magnetic Storm Secret Realm for adventure after they have grown to a certain level.

Li Tuo left the battlefield between himself and Xiu Qiqi, the master of the ape-man realm. His physical body flew through the magnetic storm secret realm. Relying on the positioning of interstellar coordinates, three days later, he finally found his destination on a magnetic asteroid with a diameter of over a hundred kilometers in the void.

It was a huge estate spanning over ten kilometers in circumference. From a distance, one could see small buildings, gardens, artificial hills, swimming pools, and other structures, all protected by an invisible force field, which stood out starkly against the desolate and monotonous magnetic storm void.

Li Tuo landed on the outskirts of the huge manor, easily passing through the special force field that isolated magnetic and lightning forces. He immediately felt the surroundings become warmer, and the warm and gentle light of the artificial sun made him squint.

He looked around the manor and suddenly noticed an open-air bar a few hundred meters away. Three young men of varying heights and builds were sitting at the bar, sizing up Li Tuo, the intruder, with faint smiles on their faces.

"Yo! Tianyuan has finally arrived!"

"Welcome, Tianyuan!"

"Long time no see, come over for a drink!"

They were clearly very familiar with Li Tuo. One of the dragonmen, covered in silver scales, even grabbed a bottle of wine that was filled with cold air and threw it at Li Tuo from hundreds of meters away.

"Bang!"

Li Tuo smiled as well, easily catching the bottle. He casually flicked off the cork, took a few sips, and then appeared in front of the three of them in a flash.

"Long time no see, Yukimitsu, Fujiki, and Guidu, my friends."

Having spent over two thousand years in the universe, Li Tuo certainly had no shortage of friends. The three people in front of him were friends of similar age and strength whom he had met over the years.

Xing Guang, male, a first-level Realm Lord, is a robust dragon-human covered in silver scales. Recognized by the fundamental laws of light, he is a powerful warrior extremely skilled in close combat and a core member of the Qianwu Secret Realm.

Vine Demon, male, a first-level Realm Lord, is a Vika human with short, emerald-green hair and four arms. He is recognized by the Law of Wood Origin and is a master of mental manipulation. He is especially skilled at using vines for control, entanglement, and sealing. He is a core member of the Dry Witch Secret Realm.

Gui Du, female, a second-tier Realm Lord, is a powerful snake-person with delicate and gentle features. She is proficient in various primal laws such as wind, fire, wood, and water. Her situation is quite special; she is a rare alchemist among mentalists, proficient in various substances and laws of poisons. She is also a core member of the Qianwu Secret Realm.

"It has indeed been many years since we last met in the real universe. More than a thousand years have passed since we parted ways at Gafeng's Nest."

The Dragonman Realm Lord, Xing Guang, had a face full of scales and sharp teeth, making him look ferocious and cruel, but he was actually the most enthusiastic. He stood up from his seat, punched Li Tuo in the chest with his scale-covered fist, and laughed loudly.

"Yes, my teacher often said that not recruiting you into the Qianwu Secret Realm was a loss for the entire Qianwu Secret Realm, and now it seems that it is indeed true."

The four-armed youth, Fujiki, also stood up. This mentalist had a deep understanding of the fundamental laws of wood, and his body was surrounded by a terrifying life force that was so abundant that it was almost insane. However, he smiled and seemed quite convinced when facing Li Tuo.

"We all watched your fight a few days ago live. Although we're reluctant to admit it, the gap between us is widening."

The snake woman, dressed in a dark-colored long dress, held a slender metal pipe in her hand. Her dark, vertical pupils stared at Li Tuo for a moment before she sighed softly, exhaling a puff of smoke swirling with the colors of wood, wind, and fire, the primordial laws, and said in a low voice.

"After all, we've taken different paths, and over a thousand years, we've each grown," Li Tuo said with a smile.

His connection with these three core members of the Qianwu Secret Realm began more than a thousand years ago. While exploring another secret realm within the Qianwu Universe Kingdom—the Gafeng Nest—he encountered these three by chance in a perilous situation. After a conversation, the four formed a team and embarked on a rather successful adventure.

At that time, Li Tuo was a fourth-level Domain Lord, while Xing Guang and the other two were ninth-level Domain Lords. However, Li Tuo's combat power was already comparable to any of the three. The three of them intended to befriend each other and have maintained this friendship to this day.

"Your growth rate is far behind yours. I'm afraid I can only achieve the title of World Lord-level Giant Axe Warrior after reaching the ninth level of World Lord."

Long Renxingguang put his arm around Li Tuo's neck and sat down. This guy was over two meters tall and had a ferocious appearance, but his voice was deep and magnetic.

"You haven't tried it yet. If you go and participate in a life-or-death battle now, you might be able to defeat a giant axe warrior." Teng Gui, the four-armed youth among them, joked as he drank side by side with Xing Guang and Li Tuo.

"That would be suicidal. With this ape-man, Xiuqiqi, at the first level of the Realm Lord, I could at most block three Divine Transformation Greatswords even if I risked my life." Xingguang shook his head, not minding his friend's teasing.

"I've simulated every opponent Tianyuan has ever fought in the virtual universe," Guidu said, twisting his waist as he swam to the inside of the bar, poured a glass of wine for Li Tuo and the other two, and shook his head. "Starting from the 640th person, the enemy's combat strength was no less than mine. By the time I reached the 700th person, I had almost never won again."

As he spoke, Gui Du raised his eyelids and glanced at Xing Guang and Teng Gui, then continued, "I am clearly stronger than the two of you, so you can only fight up to the six hundredth opponent in Tian Yuan at most."

"That's quite a difference." Teng Gui crossed his arms over his chest, listening to Gui Du's analysis, and a sense of powerlessness flashed through his heart.

The three of them were very strong, even within the Qianwu Secret Realm, they were among the top geniuses, and were being nurtured by the King as seeds of immortal gods. They never imagined that they could be so far behind a wild genius like Li Tuo.

"The future is still far away, and there are too many opportunities in the universe. No one can say for sure where they will end up. You have the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler standing behind you," Li Tuo said with a smile after clinking glasses with Teng Gui. "It's my first time visiting the Magnetic Storm Secret Realm, and I'm counting on the three of you to show me around."

"That's certainly possible. The Magnetic Storm Realm is very rich. The three of us have been staying in this realm for almost five hundred years since we broke through to the World Lord level, so we know it quite well," Teng Gui said, finishing his wine and nodding. "Is there anything you urgently need?"

"..."

Li Tuo smiled without saying a word. He poured the wine in his glass into his mouth, paused for a moment, and then slowly spoke.

"A creature with a sufficiently powerful bloodline—energy, flesh, rock, or plant—is fine; I only need a small amount of life tissue."

"Snap!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Tuo heard the sound of a wine glass breaking. He turned his head and saw that Xing Guang, Teng Gui, and Gui Du had clearly paused for a moment, as if they were completely unaware that the wine glass in their hands had been crushed.

"You mean... you have the ability to create clones?"

After a long while, Gui Du exhaled a thick cloud of law-based smoke and spoke softly.
