Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Battle of Geniuses

Chapter 159 Future Withdrawal, Return to the Ancestral God Cult, Demon God Dance

The Omniscient Vision is so powerful, but it also consumes a huge amount of resources.

Given Hunzhen's current divine body size, if he were to unleash his life force, fully activate the Time-Sorrow Demon Blade, and turn off all high-consumption skills such as the Void Armor, he could sustain himself for an hour without any problem.

However, if one were to unleash their full potential, three minutes would be the limit.

Fortunately, the second change in simulation capabilities can alleviate this pain point to some extent.

This second change involves the ability of simulated inheritance that has always been known as the "blue bottle" and "red bottle" by Hunzhen, which instantly restores the state after simulated inheritance.

This ability is now defined by Hunzhen as—future access.

Besides no longer needing to classify inheritance categories to directly restore the divine body, there is no longer a need to restore it through simulated inheritance. Hunzhen can replenish it at any time with just a thought.

Most importantly, unlike in the past, where the effect of simulated inheritance meant that a single restoration could only be performed once a day.

Instead, it's like an energy reserve that refreshes automatically every day, which can be drawn upon whenever needed.

If Hunzhen had previously jokingly referred to this as his own "original treasure," it has now truly become a reality.

Moreover, it is a supreme treasure of origin that does not require the consumption of resources for charging and can instantly replenish energy no matter how much the divine body is damaged.

It is also a fundamental treasure that will improve as one's true strength increases, and will never become outdated.

Based on the current size of Hunzhen's divine body and his status at the immortal level, this is just an ordinary treasure. However, considering the rarity of primordial treasures, its value is close to that of a top-tier treasure.

Once Hunzhen breaks through to the Venerable level, this becomes a high-grade primordial treasure, with a value comparable to a peak treasure.

Once Hunzhen breaks through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, he will possess the ultimate treasure, the Origin Treasure, and no one would trade it for even the strongest treasure.

Always improving, never becoming obsolete.

In the future, there will only be demands, not repayments!

Great!

With the addition of Omniscient Vision and Future Access, Hunzhen gained combat power approaching that of a top-tier cosmic overlord.

But don't forget that Hunzhen does indeed possess a truly "treasure"—the Colorless Core.

The colorless domain that was unleashed during the hunt for Venerable Qinglian even completely restricted the supreme treasure of this high-ranking cosmic being.

Hunzhen has already calculated its upper and lower limits.

This is a treasure whose effectiveness is greatly influenced by the user's understanding of the laws of time and space.

To truly unleash its power, one must at least gain the recognition of the fundamental laws of time or space. At this point, what it can unleash is its lower limit, the strength of a supreme treasure in the ordinary realm, approaching that of a supreme treasure in the higher realm.

With his current understanding of the laws of space and time, he can use it as a top-tier treasure.

To truly unleash its full potential, he would probably need to rely on his minor mastery of the Spacetime Fusion Law to break through to the Universe Lord realm.

By then, it should be able to rival the most powerful treasures in the pinnacle of the realm.

It should be noted that this is a completely unpolished, pure, natural "raw material" or "rough piece".

If crafted by a top-tier artifact refiner, its potential would be truly unleashed, and its power would be immeasurable.

At its current level, it is more than enough for Hunzhen. Any stronger, and it would be like the Star Tower for Immortal Luo Feng – impossible to activate, and he could only watch helplessly.

Originally, he was close to the strength of a top-tier cosmic overlord. With the addition of this top-tier domain treasure that perfectly matched his main cultivation of the Dao of Time and Space, Hunzhen truly possessed the strength of a top-tier cosmic overlord!

And this is only his combat power after he just broke through to the immortal level.

"It's time to acquire the remaining two Beast God Inheritance Tokens."

With a thought, Hunzhen separated a clone with one-tenth of the original body's combat power.

This clone carries the treasured Pearl of No Trace, but it doesn't bear the face of Xingluo. Clearly, Hunzhen doesn't intend to continue using the identity of "King of the String Sword" to complete the mission.

Although it is only one-tenth of the original Hunzhen body's current combat power, the change in life level has brought about a hundredfold increase in quality and energy, dozens of times the gene multiplier (the original incarnation at that time only had the Three Lives Demon Luo gene multiplier), perfect soul amplitude, plus the two additional talents of the Time and Space Demon God that were not originally there, the actual combat power is already hundreds of times greater than that original incarnation!

Even a mere avatar with only 10% of his combat power is a definite cosmic venerable-level combat power.

Even without using the strongest "string form", it is not difficult to kill the invincible king.

The main body and the avatar split into two groups. The avatar directly summoned the metallic life form "A-Neng," which had already been cultivated to the point of immortality, and stepped onto the outer battlefield through the divine kingdom's teleportation.

Meanwhile, the true self will find a suitable location to begin building a divine kingdom. Once the divine kingdom is completed, it will be time to return to the Ancestral God Sect, receive a large amount of inheritance, and enhance one's understanding of the laws.

One can break through to become a Universe Venerable by comprehending any one of the higher laws.

With Hunzhen's current understanding of the laws, it wouldn't be long before he breaks through to become a Universe Venerable.

However, in order to make the path of spacetime fusion smoother, he would naturally not be so short-sighted.

Time and space move side by side, merging and progressing in our understanding of the laws of time and space.

The path of integration becomes increasingly slow as it progresses.

Besides the constraint of not daring to comprehend the lower-level laws and thus break through the barrier of immortality, this is also the main reason why Hunzhen, whose most talented skill is "spatial blockade," took more time to comprehend than he did with "teleportation."

The remaining uncomprehended laws of space and time are "spatial strangulation" and "time stillness".

These are all areas where Hunzhen is least proficient.

It is foreseeable that even with the blessing of enlightenment talent, it would not be possible to achieve this in a short time if Hunzhen actively carried the weight.

But this also means...

Once Hunzhen can break through to the Universe Venerable level, it will be the moment when both time and space are perfected, and the law of time-space fusion truly reaches the minor completion stage.

He will leapfrog the realm of the Universe Venerable and reach the realm of the Lord of the Universe in one fell swoop!

While it will take some time for the avatar to re-enter the vision of the various races in the universe, the information about the original Hunzhen, who has established a divine kingdom and returned to the Ancestral God Cult in the form of "Milirathe," was immediately confirmed by many alien races.

"The aura emanating from Shi Yuan Wang has undergone a tremendous change; it's confirmed that she has officially broken through to the Immortal level!"

Furthermore, news of his breakthrough to immortality spread like wildfire.

There is information that Venerable Qinglian spread before his death. Although most people felt that it was exaggerated, the fact that he had many Venerables of the Hongmeng Universe work for him is conclusive evidence.

Even though many alien races later confirmed that Hunzhen had hired him with a large number of honor points, it was still hard to believe that this was the truth.

After all, apart from the high-ranking members of the Hongmeng, these alien races who confirmed the intelligence were unaware that the Venerables brought into the secret realm by Hunzhen were all clones and were not in danger of perishing.

And these Hongmeng Universe Venerables, who possess the ability to create clones and more than half of whom have not yet revealed this ability, would naturally not actively expose this fact.

In the eyes of the alien races, the fact that Hunzhen could command a cosmic lord to serve them cast doubt on his identity as a "newly emerging genius of a vassal race".

It is foreseeable that a new round of probing will begin as soon as he returns to the Ancestral God Cult.

Before leaving, the Lord of Chaos City naturally expressed his concerns to his beloved disciple.

Hunzhen simply tapped his forehead and smiled in response, "Teacher, don't forget my ability to 'foresee the future.' Didn't we prove it on the battlefield outside the domain before?"

The fact that he had once foreseen a far-reaching event that involved countless lives on the battlefield beyond the realm finally convinced the Lord of Chaos City to give his approval.

In terms of the ability to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, there are few people in the entire universe who can surpass his disciple, so in the end he still let Hunzhen leave.

Hunzhen's confidence in facing the storms of the outside world truly stemmed from his own full-force burst of power, which had already reached the level of a top overlord!

Although the Ancestral God Cult is not as safe as Chaos City, it is still one of the most fortified fortresses in the universe, thanks to the Five-Colored Aurora Lake.

With such strength, one naturally has no fear of any demons or monsters.

Unless the alien race directly sends the strongest being in the universe to intervene, Hunzhen is confident that he can hold out until the Lord of Chaos City arrives to rescue him.

Beside the portal leading to the secret realm, Hunzhen suddenly turned around, as if he could see through the hidden cosmic venerables, revealing a provocative smile, and then strode into the portal.

He had already confirmed that the treasure he had tricked from Venerable Qinglian was not even as valuable as the Inheritance Token that the Chaos City Lord had asked for in exchange.

Besides obtaining one by defeating a hundred invincible kings in the outer battlefield, one can also obtain the final inheritance token in the secret realm by searching for a supreme treasure or luring these alien venerables who are trying to test him to fight back.

"Just now? Did she notice us?"

A hidden mechanical king suddenly spoke up and asked his companion beside him.

According to records, before Shiyuan Wang Milirat broke through to immortality, she was able to rival a king-level expert as a world lord. Now that she has broken through to immortality, her strength has increased a hundredfold, and she will undoubtedly reach the realm of a universe venerable.

The latest novel is first published here!

At most, it's just a difference between a beginner venerable and a mid-level venerable.

To test her further, we would have to use combat power at the Venerable level or above.

The alien venerable from the Mechanical Race Alliance, who was being questioned by the Mechanical Race Venerable, sneered and replied, "So what if we noticed? Since she voluntarily entered the secret realm, she has placed her life in our hands."

The Mechanical Race alone dispatched two high-level cosmic Venerables. In the eyes of this alien Venerable, no matter how you look at it, that little girl who had just broken through to immortality had no chance of escaping.

Originally, they were prepared to launch an attack within the area of ​​the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, risking their own lives.

Now that Hunzhen has taken the initiative to enter the secret realm, he even feels a sense of gratitude in his heart.

Of course, gratitude aside, the attack still had to happen.

The orders from the higher-ups of the Machine Race were: if they could probe the true strength of King Shiyuan, they would probe; if they couldn't probe, then... they would do everything in their power to eliminate him!

However... what this alien venerable one did not know was that even if he had truly exerted all his strength and killed Hunzhen under extremely slim hopes,

In reality, it was merely the killing of one of the original avatars. The true original body had already transformed into the face of King Garan and headed towards the place of inheritance.

However, although it is called the Origin Avatar, after advancing to Immortality, each of Hunzhen's avatars can be called the Origin Avatar, that is, a state of complete synchronization, without any ability restrictions, and can freely use all talents, even the ability of omniscience.

It's just a matter of how much power they occupy.

Hunzhen is simply following the old custom, still referring to the incarnation that accounts for 100% of the power as the original incarnation.

"Even without carrying any supreme treasures, the Time-Scarring Demon Blade and the Void Ghost Armor, two innate talents of the Origin Avatar, are comparable to supreme treasures of slaughter and armor. Add to that the Omniscient Vision, and unleashing the combat power of a cosmic overlord is not a problem."

"Among the enemies who attempted to attack me this time, the Mechanical Race Alliance sent two High-Level Universe Venerables, while the Demon Race Alliance and the Zerg Race Alliance each sent three Mid-Level Universe Venerables. If they joined forces, they would indeed pose a threat, but these guys won't wait for the other forces to arrive after they've been teleported into the secret realm."

"Divide and break them up; they are not a cause for concern."

Hunzhen then stopped paying attention and, carrying the discolored core, entered the land of inheritance.

Although using inheritance opportunities now would be somewhat wasteful before all eight inheritance tokens have been collected, even at maximum efficiency.

However, since there are many Glory Points in the True Form, wasting dozens of times won't hurt much.

"There's still a week until those alien races find their original incarnations in the Land of Inheritance."

"Let's try it out first. While observing the colorless core in this land of inheritance, enter the state of omniscience and see if any special changes occur."

With a thought, Hunzhen opened his hands, the colorless core floated, and then his eyes shone with a light like silver-gray flames.

hum--.

Under the control of the tenfold law, Hunzhen felt as if the surging power of the law in the inheritance ground was trembling and crawling.

The colorless core slowly rotated, and the phantom of the demon god appeared accordingly.

However, unlike in the past, the once lifeless phantom seemed to have been infused with life, its eyes slightly brightening and its body moving strangely.

"This is……!?"

Hunzhen stared wide-eyed, his eyes bloodshot.

A flood of information rushed into his mind, and even in the omniscient world, a special state that could be described as omniscient and omnipotent, Hunzhen felt that he was somewhat overloaded.

Two streams of bloody tears flowed from his eyes.

"Bang!"

As if the sky had collapsed and the earth had split open, in Hunzhen's eyes, both the colorless core and the magnificent phantom of the dancing demon god exploded!

After being dazed by the enormous tremor for an unknown period of time, Hunzhen finally came to his senses and looked down to see the colorless core still quietly suspended.

It did not spin at high speed, nor did it explode.

It all felt like a dream.

But when Hunzhen touched the bloodstains on his cheek and felt the empty energy within his body, he knew that none of it was an illusion.

Without hesitation, he used Future Withdrawal to restore himself to full health, and then closed his eyes.

The chaotic information was gradually sorted out, transforming from mysterious and unpredictable knowledge, like the ravings of ancient gods, into a language he could understand.

"This is a special secret technique—the Dance of the Demon God!"

Hunzhen suddenly opened his eyes, his heart burning with passion.

This "Dance of the Demon God" is not some kind of combat technique, but a life manual that allows beings with the potential to become Chaos Demon Gods to continuously move closer to and evolve into Chaos Demon Gods!

only……

The "Dance of the Demon God" in Hunzhen's mind is not complete.

Moreover, in his estimation, at his current level, he couldn't even record the postures of this special dance, let alone imitate the rules and rhythms of its dance and drive the evolution of life.

No, there's no need to rush.

Hunzhen thought to himself, "Immortality won't work; I'll wait until I reach the Venerable realm. If that's not enough, I'll wait until I become the Lord of the Universe!"

He canceled his omniscient state and began to cultivate silently.

In the secret realm, the true essence of Hunzhen finally encountered the first batch of alien venerables.
