Heavenly Demon Transformation

"We've finally reached the Cosmic level." Lin Yan couldn't help but feel excited.

The difference between Stellar level and Cosmic level is enormous.

Stellar level martial artists can fly into space, but they cannot survive in space for long periods of time. Cosmic level martial artists, on the other hand, can wander in space with their bodies, thus beginning to enter the ranks of cosmic powerhouses.

Normally, a galaxy only gives birth to one Cosmic level, and joining Universe Country can easily grant you dozens of planets as your territory.

This is just the most ordinary Cosmic level, not even necessarily possessing a domain.

For him, it held many unusual meanings.

Whoosh!

Lin Yan's figure vanished instantly, entering the Void Space within the crystal core of his body.

Hiss...

The two five-meter-long green caterpillars were quite adorable, their bright black eyes staring at Lin Yan as they swam in the void.

The large green worm clone he had originally placed on Chi Pan Star has long since returned to Earth in a spaceship. Its body has absorbed a large amount of Cosmic Essence, enough for the Green Line Devouring Worm to undergo metamorphosis.

"Then let's officially begin." Lin Yan's mind was stirred.

Call!

The mysterious green patterns on the main body of the giant green worm lit up, and its split parts instantly turned into a cloud of mist and returned to the main body.

The blue light was like mist or gauze.

Hiss...

Now look at the big green caterpillar, which is completely encased in Chrysalis Shell, with incredibly mysterious patterns constantly flowing on the Chrysalis Shell.

An incomparably pure life force permeated the air.

The pupa is an inactive stage of the insect. During this period, the Green Line Devouring Worm lacks the ability to defend itself and avoid predators. However, the pupa is undergoing intense physiological activities of tissue dissociation and tissue development, making it easily susceptible to adverse external conditions.

This period is very dangerous for Green Line Devouring Worm if they cannot find suitable shelter.

Of course, there is no such concern now.

Lin Yan gleaned a remarkable message from it. "It only takes seven days to successfully evolve and grow into the first form."

In its current larval stage, it has virtually no combat ability.

Once it breaks through to the Cosmic level, it can generate the first form. At the domain lord and World Master levels, it will evolve into the second and third forms, respectively.

Each evolution retains the advantages of the previous form.

Until the third form, the Green Line Devouring Worm is truly perfect, reaching its peak.

After Lin Yan and the other Green Line Devouring Worm Clone began to evolve, he opened the system.

[Congratulations on successfully breaking through to the Cosmic level! You have received the reward: Heavenly Demon Transformation]

The Heavenly Demon Transformation?

What is that?

At this moment—

"Boom!"

A loud boom echoed in Lin Yan's mind, and his ears were filled with chaotic noises. In his sea of consciousness, wisps of black lines spread out, some of which surged to the crystal core and connected with the Soul Core within it.

Even the ten thousand Soul Source within the Green Line Devouring Worm that was undergoing metamorphosis and evolution were affected at this moment, and were intertwined by strands of black lines.

The black line continued to seep into Lin Yan's soul, causing some rapid changes.

Waves of soul-tearing pain instantly assaulted all his senses, causing Lin Yan's body to tremble uncontrollably.

Is this some kind of soul-altering process?

Although the pain stemmed from the depths of his soul, Lin Yan remained resolute, shook his head, and quietly waited for the transformation to subside.

Three days later.

The endless black lines gradually revealed their full form.

Within the crystal core, atop the enormous vortex of souls, a pure black flower, still in bud, had appeared.

At first glance, it appears as a giant black lotus, its roots connected to the deepest part of the soul vortex. This black lotus is faintly shrouded in black mist, from which wisps of black mist flow, seemingly conjuring up endless illusions, bizarre and fantastical, like a kaleidoscope.

It's impossible to distinguish between the real and the unreal, as if one doesn't exist in the real world.

Upon closer inspection, the entire black lotus was actually constructed from countless incredibly mysterious runes, which were so intricate and perfectly integrated.

"So easy."

"The pain from before has completely disappeared, and I feel incredibly energetic now." Lin Yan clearly felt the transformation of his soul, "A feeling I've never experienced before!"

Even if he cultivates his mind every day, making his heart incredibly clear and pure, illuminating all darkness and cutting off all gloom, it still cannot compare to the feeling at this moment.

With a thought, Lin Yan's body disappeared into the Void Space and reappeared in the outside world.

The mental power spread out instantly, with countless mental powers radiating outwards from the body like tentacles. Infinite matter was reflected in one's mind, and as the mental power swept across, one could observe the internal structure of matter.

"The perception of mental power is incredibly clear. Its permeability, etherealness, flexibility, and resilience are all significantly different from before. Even my consciousness and will have improved."

Close your eyes.

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Light, Time, Space...

The Universe Origin Law are becoming clearer to me.

This improvement in Law Comprehension was already experienced once when breaking through to the Cosmic level, but now it has actually climbed a step further on that foundation.

Lin Yan suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze clear and bright. This was not a direct result of the soul's transformation. His understanding of the laws was still largely based on his physical constitution. For others, even with an increase in consciousness, their perception of the laws remained vague.

But he was different; his consciousness, influenced by the Light Web Crystal, arrived at the Origin Land ahead of schedule.

After the amazing boost from the Origin Land, the difference from before became obvious.

This is undoubtedly a good thing.

"It seems there's more to it than that..."

Lin Yan pondered for a moment, then manipulated the mental power within the crystal core to rapidly spread to the black lotus, carefully sensing the information contained within. He was immediately stunned, overwhelmed with immense joy.

"Ha ha ha ha..."

"This so-called 'Heavenly Demon Transformation' is actually a Soul-type secret technique, and it's a complete set of Soul-type secret technique that includes attack, defense, illusion, control, and amplitude!"

That's right.

The information Lin Yan sensed from the black lotus was a set of Soul-type secret technique. This set of Soul Secret Technique was all-encompassing and extremely profound.

Techniques like "Soul Seal" and "Tower of Void" are Soul-type secret technique, but "Heavenly Demon Transformation" is clearly far more valuable than the former.

But...

Lin Yan then gave a wry smile. The learning threshold was getting higher and higher with each subject. What he could currently perceive from the black lotus was only the simplest introduction. The specific secret techniques were shrouded in endless fog and could not be seen clearly at all.

"Never mind."

He's easygoing about it.

"A high learning threshold is not necessarily a bad thing. It shows that this secret technique is indeed extremely precious. My foundation is already solid. I had previously cultivated the 'Tower of Void' to the third level of the Treasure Pagoda Realm. Now, after breaking through to the Cosmic level and experiencing the transformation of the Black Lotus, my soul has improved many times over compared to before."

"There is still a considerable gap between us and the Soul Amplitude Secret Method recorded in the 'Heavenly Demon Transformation'."

The Soul Amplitude Secret Method is the most basic of this set of Soul Secret Technique; the others have much higher learning thresholds.

Lin Yan thought about it for a moment. This was equivalent to him obtaining a top-notch inheritance memory. However, he couldn't learn it now, but he could learn it sooner or later. The value of Soul-type secret technique was self-evident.

There's no need to rush.

The Green Line Devouring Worm is Soul-type Master of the soul, but Special Lifeform do not inherit memories, so they need such secret techniques. Having such System Reward can save him countless points that he will need to invest in the future.

Games like "Soul Seal" and "Tower of Void" are still usable now, but once they enter the Virtual Universe Company, they will seem ordinary and will have to be replaced sooner or later. They can only be used as nourishment for learning by analogy.

Of course, this does not mean that the time he spent studying it was wasted. Cultivation itself is a learning process. The levels of secret techniques vary, but the basic principles they contain are the same.

Highly advanced secret techniques not only have high barriers to entry, but are also extremely difficult to cultivate, always requiring a process of moving from simple to complex.

Lin Yan's consciousness re-entered the Virtual Universe. The first thing he did was open the email sent by the Virtual Universe Company, which notified him that he would be picked up on Canglan Star in 12 days. At that time, he was undergoing soul transformation by Black Lotus and did not pay attention to this matter. Now three days have passed, which means there are only Nine Heavens days left.

The time spent meditating in the "Initial Universe" is 30 years. However, the Time Flow Rate in the Initial Universe is different from that in the Primordial Universe, with the Time Flow Rate in the Initial Universe being slower.

The Initial Universe lasted for 30 years, while the Primordial Universe has already passed for 100 years.

"It'll be a long time before I leave..."

"I can only meet my family through the Virtual Universe Network."

Lin Yan also felt a little uneasy. Although he had made such preparations a long time ago, he had only been in this world for fifteen years. In these fifteen years, he had left traces of his existence in this world.

His emotional attachments remained in those people.

This departure will mean a separation of at least several hundred years.

Lin Yan raised an eyebrow and exhaled a breath of stale air. "Make sure everything is arranged before you leave."

He quickly disappeared from sight.

The Ganwu Universe Country is a very ordinary Life Planet "Valuo Planet".

On the Valuo Planet, inside an underground base.

"Team leader, we are responsible for monitoring the Peak Genius Battle held by humans, and we have obtained important intelligence," a bald, three-eyed man in a silver uniform said respectfully.

"The Peak Genius Battle?" Another bald, three-eyed man in a black uniform asked coldly, "Has some extraordinary genius emerged in this Peak Genius Battle?"

Under normal circumstances, the geniuses who emerge in the Genius Battle are not worth their attention.

Suddenly, the screen in front of him changed, displaying detailed information.

It contains information about Lin Yan.

The bald, three-eyed man in the silver uniform introduced, "This is the first place winner of this year's Genius Battle. He passed all the Trial Tower in the Trial Space and used the Extreme Divine Weapon to unleash the Fourth Layer of 'Dragon of Sun and Moon' in the arena duel. To be able to do this at the Stellar level, I think he is at least a genius who appears once every 100,000 epochs."

The bald, three-eyed man in the black uniform stared coldly at the information on the screen.

"A genius who is still at the Stellar level is about to enter the human 'Initial Universe'. He is in the Original Secret Realm and has an extremely high status. At this time, we would have to use at least Marquis level to have any chance of killing him... Every action taken within the territory of the human 1008 Universe Nations means sacrifice."

"Our forces within the human race are too small; he is not yet worth such a heavy price for us."

"Moreover, the way humans cultivate geniuses has an extremely high mortality rate, and he may not be able to grow up in the end. Now is not the right time. However, there is too little information about him, so we must collect enough information and make preparations in advance."

"Order the 13th squad, which is closest to the Milky Way in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Domain Milky Way Galaxy, to conduct an investigation. The information about him is only in terms of star systems, and the specific source is unknown. This is a dereliction of duty. We must start an investigation as soon as possible and collect all the information about him."

The bald, three-eyed man in the black uniform gave the order, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

"Yes."

The subordinate in the silver uniform responded respectfully.

Soon, the quiet underground base returned to calm.
