Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Battle of Geniuses

Chapter 229 "Aren't the Divine Eye Clan going too far?"

More than two hundred true gods from the Cosmic Sea, each carrying their own cosmic lord, entered the Jin World.

The miniature universe outside the Jin world fell into silence.

Just then...

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Three figures quietly appeared.

"Third Brother, is it necessary to be so sneaky?"

"Fool! You don't think that just because the Time God spared us before, he'll pretend he didn't see us this time either? I bet he'll kill us the moment he sees us!"

"Yes, Sixth Brother, Third Brother is right! That woman is a demon. She didn't kill us before because she just wanted to toy with us. That's absolutely true!"

These were the three remaining members of the Divine Eye Clan, the most powerful of whom were the Third True Lord, as well as the Fifth and Sixth True Lords.

The former possesses eighth-tier combat power, while the latter two are both seventh-tier.

Millions of years are but a drop in the ocean for a true god, unlike the human race who obtained the inheritance of the Broken East River. Even with endless hatred, the three of them did not improve much.

"The God of Time and Space..."

The Third God murmured the name of Hunzhen, his eyes filled with deep-seated hatred and an unyielding...fear.

He deeply understood the terror of Hunzhen, and his heart was filled with the thought of survival rather than revenge.

Even if most people can't escape death when this cycle of reincarnation ends, it's still better than being trampled to death by the other party right now!

"Third Brother!"

The Sixth True Lord's gaze was slightly different. He looked at the Third True Lord, a glimmer of hope in his eyes: "According to the information from those three Ancestral Gods, there is an opportunity to transcend reincarnation within this Jin World! We might not entirely lack hope of seizing the inheritance and opportunity, and then taking revenge on the God of Time and Space!"

The Third God's eyes gleamed.

Revenge? Are you kidding me!

At that time, the God of Space and Time already possessed the power to transcend reincarnation!

Even if he were to gain the power to transcend reincarnation, he would definitely do so first, staying far away and never wanting to be caught by the other party! He would never turn around and deliver himself to their doorstep!

However, the Third God could not speak so frankly to his "adorable" sixth brother, otherwise the brotherhood would have cooled down over countless eras!

"Sixth Brother, this matter... requires careful consideration!"

The Third True One then quickly changed the subject, muttering, "The most important thing now is to hurry up and enter the Jin World, otherwise the opportunity might be snatched away by the pioneers!"

The Fifth True God, standing to the side, added urging, "Stop rambling, Sixth Brother."

"Alright." The Fifth God scratched the back of his head and lowered his head.

The three of them then connected their divine powers and touched the cosmic membrane, entering it.

The cosmic origin of the Jin world, as seen from the outside, has a diameter of tens of millions of light-years, and its internal world is even larger than observed from the outside.

If each person enters independently, the slightest difference will lead to a huge error.

However, since the three were connected by their auras, they were naturally teleported to the same location, just like the previous cosmic lords hidden in the world rings.

"This...this is!"

Witnessing the vast, vibrant world before them, all three wore expressions of astonishment.

It's not that the universe before my eyes is barren, but rather that it is so vibrant that I'm amazed.

"It feels so good! There's absolutely no constraint or restriction!"

It was because they felt the freedom within the world of Jin.

The omnipresent suppression in the cosmic sea quietly disappeared, and every true god here was as free as a bird, able to fully unleash their original power!

The suppression of the primordial universe's hundredfold divine power disappeared, and each true god's combat power was equivalent to gaining two extra levels out of nowhere!

For example, the Third True Lord can easily unleash top-tier combat power at the tenth rank here!

Some people might question that even if your divine power has increased, your mastery of arcane arts has not changed. Arcane arts mastery is the ability to use and output divine power. If you could exert eighth-level combat power with eighth-level arcane arts before, you can only exert eighth-level combat power now, right?

This is a huge misconception...

The ranks of the Lords of the Universe in the Cosmic Sea, from the first to the teenth rank, do not refer to secret techniques, but rather to actual combat power.

The so-called eighth-order secret technique should actually be a peak-level secret technique of a true god. However, since everyone is starting from the divine power of the universe master with ten thousand times the genetic power, they are exerting eighth-order combat power.

For example, Luo Feng had already mastered the ultimate and strongest secret techniques of the Lord of the Universe during his time as a Universe Venerable, but due to the gap between his divine power and that of the Lord of the Universe, he could only exert the combat power of the second or third tier of the Lord of the Universe.

In the original work, once Luo Feng broke through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, he surpassed the ordinary Lord of the Universe by countless years of accumulation and reached a solid fourth or fifth level. Relying on his mastery of the Secret Pattern Diagram and using the Star Tower, he achieved the combat power of a sixth-level expert.

According to the classification of secret techniques in the Cosmic Sea.

The first and second tiers use ordinary secret techniques of the Lord of the Universe, the third tier uses peak secret techniques, the fourth tier uses the strongest secret techniques, and the fifth tier uses the strongest fusion secret techniques or the strongest ultimate techniques.

From the sixth rank onwards, these are secret techniques at the True God level!

The sixth and seventh ranks are ordinary secret techniques of true gods, the eighth rank is the peak secret technique, the ninth rank is the strongest secret technique, and the tenth rank is the strongest ultimate technique or the ultimate secret technique of true gods!

Eighth-order techniques are considered the pinnacle of True God techniques. Even True Gods wouldn't find them insufficient, so how could they possibly fail to meet the power output requirements of True Gods, leading to a decrease in power?

The eleventh to thirteenth levels are Void True God level secret techniques. As can be seen from the fact that the levels are no longer so subdivided, the gap between the higher levels becomes smaller from here on out.

The secret techniques at the Void God and Eternal God levels are still divided into three tiers: Ordinary, Peak, and Ultimate.

At the level of Chaos Ruler, there are two levels: Saint-level and Saint-King-level!

The Chaos Ruler mainly deals with the evolution of the Chaos Space, so the range of his strength is usually not too large. Those who can advance further will not stay here for long and will go straight for the God-King level.

According to the records in the Duan Donghe Inheritance, those who remain at the Saint level for one or two Great Evolutionary Eras without progressing are basically considered to lack the potential. Unless they encounter some special opportunity to change their fate, their lives will essentially end like this.

If they don't strive for a higher level of life, at this stage, Saint-level powerhouses will either retire to a major power or live in seclusion in the mountains.

Those with a strong desire for enlightenment will often choose to reincarnate and cultivate again in order to reach a higher realm.

In the messages left by the three generations of patriarchs, the strength of the God King is divided into three levels. The difference between the first two levels is like the difference between minor realms within a major realm. One can use secret techniques and rare treasures to maneuver around the gap, and there are even rare cases where the weak defeat the strong.

But the gap between the third level and the first two levels is like an adult with a gun shooting at a child with a toy hammer; the adult can easily kill ten or a hundred of them.

The God-Kings at this level are the true rulers of the Origin Continent and are revered as "God Lords"!

Therefore, the secret techniques at the God-King level are also divided into two levels: ordinary God-King level secret techniques, peak God-King level secret techniques, and God-Lord level secret techniques!

A God-King level ordinary secret technique is also a God-King level secret technique in the usual sense, since no God-King would call their secret technique "ordinary".

The ultimate secret techniques of the God-King are often the final, perfect skills that God-Kings, whose inner universes have evolved to their limit but who see no way forward, spend countless years developing in order to unleash their full combat power.

Besides, only those who are considered unparalleled geniuses among the God-Kings would have the leisure to deduce such a protective technique while pursuing their future path.

Furthermore, those who master the secret techniques of the God-Lord level are basically powerful beings who have comprehended the inheritance of supreme beings and possess unique personal insights. They are the most powerful beings in the Origin Continent who are closest to the supreme level!

Although they are still at the God-King level, they have already begun to possess some characteristics of a higher level of life, and some interested people call them "half-step Supreme Realm beings".

Hunzhen has extraordinary potential through comprehending the law seed condensed from the void Dao patterns. He already has the potential to achieve the supreme divine heart. However, the difficulty of evolving into chaotic space or further into an inner universe has increased dramatically.

However, once you break through to the God-King level, there is a very high probability that you will be able to initially grasp the supreme laws, making it easier to reach the God-Lord level than other routes.

It can be described as a model of starting with the difficult and then moving to the easy.

However, the more profound and powerful a secret technique is, the more it often requires an extremely vast foundation of divine power to support it.

Taking God-King level secret techniques as an example, according to the records of the three generations of ancestors of Duan Donghe, unless there are some special secret techniques such as willpower-related or treasure-refining techniques, it is basically impossible to use them before becoming a God-King.

The latest novel is first published here!

Even a Saint-level expert, with only an empty chaotic space and no support from the power of the universe within their body, can only watch helplessly.

Those exceptional cases often have stringent requirements, making them unattainable for most people.

Taking the Lord of the Universe as an example, under normal circumstances, without the support of top-tier secret treasures of the non-mechanical stream, being able to use the ultimate secret technique of a true god is almost the limit. Those who can use the secret technique of a true god of the void are definitely the most monstrous geniuses.

By analogy, the foundation of divine power at the True God level is the Void True God's ultimate secret technique, which is the normal limit; at the Void True God level, the Eternal True God's ultimate secret technique is the normal limit.

Even if one comprehends a Saint-level secret technique at the True God level, there's a high probability that one won't be able to use it.

Your divine power is simply insufficient to support the minimum output requirements of the arcane technique.

While the power levels of the True God of the Cosmic Sea and the Lord of the Universe appear to be the same at first glance, even though their divine power is suppressed a hundred times by the primordial universe, the True God's life structure is superior, and he also has a small universe. In reality, his limit is still higher than that of the Lord of the Universe, and he can use the secret techniques of the Void True God level without much pressure.

If one is a true god who has achieved the third level of the divine power path, then briefly using the ultimate secret technique of the Void True God is also within the scope of their abilities.

At this moment, the three Divine Eye Clan True Lords thought of many things.

They do not possess complete knowledge or clear cognition like Hunzhen, but they are already quite clear about one thing even without knowledge.

"—Within this world of Jin, the gap between us and the supreme gods of that time and space has narrowed considerably!"

The Sixth True One, his eyes gleaming with fervor, suddenly called out, "Third Brother!"

The Third God frowned slightly, as if still in thought.

"Third Brother, what are you still hesitating about?!" The Sixth True Lord saw that the Third True Lord was not as excited as he was, but rather hesitant, and felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water.

The Fifth True God waved his hand and scolded, "Sixth Brother!"

"Fifth Brother? What? Could it be that you also..." The Sixth True Lord stared wide-eyed at the Fifth True Lord, feeling somewhat unfamiliar with him.

The Fifth True Lord sighed helplessly and said, "Are you thinking that in this world of Jin, the three of us joining forces and controlling the 'Eternal True God' can unleash power surpassing that of a True God in the cosmic sea, just like the Time-Space Venerable God? And that Time-Space Venerable God hasn't broken through to True Godhood yet, seemingly harboring grand ambitions and pursuing an even more perfect breakthrough. She won't break through to True Godhood anytime soon, so we, relying on our abundant divine power, will have the opportunity to control her?"

The Sixth God retorted, "Isn't that so?"

At this moment, the Third True Lord, having finally made up his mind, spoke up and said, "That Space-Time Goddess is extraordinary! She was able to unleash power beyond that of a True God in the Cosmic Sea even before fully digesting the Broken Eastern River Legacy. What level has she reached now? Sixth Brother, have you imagined or considered it? She must have become even more terrifying and more difficult to deal with!"

"this……"

The Sixth God bowed his head, his face full of resentment: "Are we just going to let this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for revenge slip by?"

"No rush."

The Third True Lord narrowed his eyes and said, "Whether the Time-Space Goddess is here in her avatar or in her true form, it means that she will not be able to break through to the True God level for at least one epoch! And as long as she doesn't break through to the True God level, her divine power will ultimately be limited. According to the records we obtained from ancient civilizations, even if her understanding of the laws has improved over the past few million years, at her level, her divine power will ultimately limit her, and the rate of increase in strength cannot be exchanged one-to-one! And this epoch is our greatest opportunity!"

The Fifth True Lord raised an eyebrow: "Third Brother, do you mean... we should use this Jin Dynasty world to increase our strength within this one era before dealing with the Time God?"

"That's right."

The Third True Lord nodded and said, "Our second advantage lies in the fact that there are three of us, while the God of Time and Space is alone! If each of us improves a little, the strength of the Eternal True God we summon will also increase. If all three of us become stronger in this world of advancement, there might be a chance to summon the complete Eternal True God again!"

Upon hearing this, both the Fifth and Sixth Allahs looked on with fervent eyes.

Even if the fully formed Eternal True God is not as powerful as the one summoned by the previous seven-in-one, it is definitely at the level of a tenth-order secret technique (the limit of a True God).

Doesn't that mean that in this world, one can unleash combat power equivalent to a level 12 unheard of in the cosmic ocean?!

"At that time, the Little Time-Space Venerable God will surely be easily defeated!"

The Sixth True Lord, driven most by revenge, seemed to already envision the scene of personally slaying his mortal enemy: "I must cultivate with all my might!"

The Third God declared with high spirits: "What we can do now is to desperately become stronger!"

Tears welled in the eyes of the Fifth God: "For our process of becoming stronger is our cry for revenge!"

Three hands clasped together.

At this moment, the hearts of the three Divine Eye Clan True Lords were united as never before.

If the late First God, the leader of the Divine Eye Clan, could see this scene, he would surely be very pleased.

At the same time, without joining forces with his human teammates, Hunzhen, all alone, had transformed into a wandering knight.

One of his main goals, of course, was to join the army and become an elite soldier to gain the authority to undertake title missions.

The deceased First God leaps out and roars at the Third, Fifth, and Sixth Gods: Why summon the Eternal God?! (Fog)
