The Green Line Devouring Worm opened its eyes, its consciousness still clearly sensing the unique "divine" and "Conception" of the Beast God Carving. The more it sensed it, the more clearly it felt the terror of the Wood Beast God.

It was a power that inspired awe and submission!

Although Lin Yan was unable to take the Eight Great Beast God Carvings from the Blood Demon Forbidden Zone with him at the time, he could still achieve the same effect by relying on the fragments left behind by the Green Line Devouring Worm, and could comprehend them at any time.

However, the Green Line Devouring Worm's clones do not have the ability to cultivate independently. In fact, they are the consciousness separated from the main body that comprehends the teachings, which is different in nature from the clones.

"I've been studying the 'Azure Firmament' for sixty years now." The Green Line Devouring Worm looked down at its side. In these sixty years, it would occasionally trace some scale patterns when it was puzzled, so there are many messy and irregular scale patterns around the Green Line Devouring Worm.

The Beast God Inheritance is divided into seven levels.

As the ancient Universe Overlord of the pinnacle race "humanity", Augustus held an extremely high position and had achieved great success in the Beast God Inheritance, having fully comprehended the Mu Kong Fusion Law.

His creation, the "Azure Firmament" manual, is more of an auxiliary and explanatory text, and is considered one of the most outstanding among the classic texts for cultivating the Path of the Beast God.

Even if it cannot be directly comprehended like the Beast God Inheritance Grounds, the Beast God Carving the Blood Demon Forbidden Zone are still somewhat similar to the Chaos Stele, allowing the Green Line Devouring Worm to overcome many difficulties during their cultivation.

His progress in the Path of the Beast God was also incredibly rapid, so fast that no obstacle could hold him back for more than a month.

According to Lin Yan's estimation, he should be able to master the first level of the Beast God Inheritance within no more than two hundred years, Law Comprehension comparable to the Tongtian Bridge 15th floor.

The Tongtian Bridge 15th floor is nothing to Lin Yan, but... this time it is a different kind of law, completely different from the Time Law and Space Law.

At that time, one can cultivate the secret techniques in the first volume of "Azure Luo Secret Technique," which is actually very important for the Green Line Devouring Worm.

At this stage, the Green Line Devouring Worm's greatest strength lies in its soul aspect. While its foundation in close combat is solid, it can only be considered average. After all, the secret technique of "Black Hole Evolution" is more suitable for Lin Yan himself, and the Green Line Devouring Worm cannot unleash its full power.

Once the "Azure Luo Secret Technique" is mastered, it will have a significant impact on the Green Line Devouring Worm clone. The split will be unable to launch Soul Attack and will only be able to rely on close combat abilities.

With the assistance of the Qilu Statue Projection, Lin Yan confident that he can further shorten the time required for the Green Line Devouring Worm to cultivate the First Level of Beast God Inheritance.

Wow!

At the summit of the majestic mountain range, the Green Line Devouring Worm stood up like a pillar of heaven, looking down below.

Boom!

On the vast, endless land, nearly a million World Lord peak Zerg, knelt and prostrated themselves respectfully to show their reverence.

A strange light flickered in the cold eyes of the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone.

This is the biggest trump card for this trip to the Cosmic Secret Realm!

After Lin Yan returned to Earth, he enslaved the Zerg Mother Nest of the World Master for 35 years. The Zerg Mother Nest continuously bred, and Mother Emperor Ilina finally nurtured a million- Zerg legion for Lin Yan!

This Zerg legion is composed entirely of Zerg King at the World Lord peak level, and each Zerg King is more than ten times stronger than an ordinary Zerg World Master.

It was not the Tiger Zerg King Legion that was initially decided upon, but rather a formation that utilized the versatility of the Zerg, including scouting, assassination, assault, Ranged Attack, infection, and even construction roles.

The most numerous of them are the strongest Zerg unit that Mother Emperor Ilina can cultivate – the Hunter Mantis Zerg King, which combines speed, defense and attack, making it the best of the best, with a number of up to 200,000!

The others are: the Shadow Zerg King of the "Detection" class, the Tiger Armor Zerg King of the "Assassination" class, the Spike Serpent Zerg King of the "Assassination" class, the Terror Claw Zerg King of the "Infection" class, the Worker Bee Zerg King of the "Construction" class, and the Ghost Mantis Zerg King of the "Stealth" class!

Most of them could be considered top-tier Zerg, and Lin Yan paid a considerable price to enable Ilina to cultivate these units.

With a scale of nearly a million, the Green Line Devouring Worm can completely control the "leader Zerg" by Parasitism!

In another World Ring, there are a large number of sleeping Zerg Warrior, which can be replenished to a certain extent if they are lost.

In terms of direct confrontation and combined attack power, they are naturally far inferior to the pure Tiger Zerg King Legion. However, considering that this is an adventure in the Cosmic Secret Realm, the functionality determined by the special physical structure of these Zerg Warrior is more useful to Lin Yan than the ultimate combined attack power.

It has been nearly thirty years since the Green Line Devouring Worm left the Milky Way Galaxy.

It took several years of travel through the Dark Universe, all the way to the Mu Xing universe, and then back to the Primordial Universe along the way, leaving coordinate tokens of the Tai Sui Tree Spirit and the Mo Yun Vine in many places.

Only when the coordinate tokens cover a wide enough area can the Divine Kingdom Teleportation function at crucial moments.

The final destination is the "Lingdi Secret Realm".

The Lingdi Secret Realm can be considered one of the more advanced Cosmic Secret Realm within the Human territory.

Its maximum diameter is 156,000 light-years, which is considered small in the Cosmic Secret Realm. The danger of the entire secret realm is average. Immortal God can enter and explore it. Of course, this refers to the outermost area. Some dangerous areas are so dangerous that it is almost certain death for those below the "Venerable One".

Such dangerous Cosmic Secret Realm are rarely fully developed, except for rare examples like Original Secret Realm. Even the areas that have been explored are few, and many places have never been visited by powerful individuals.

This was a secret realm target recommended to Mu Xing Country Lord after he learned of Lin Yan's plan. The main destination was the Biting Star Belt, which was considered to be of medium danger.

Because she resides in the Mu Xing Universe Country, as its Universe Country Lord, she can naturally provide incredibly comprehensive information, such as the coordinates of the Biting Star Belt, allowing spaceships to directly Cosmic Shuttle and reach the outermost edge of the Biting Star Belt.

Unlike the normal universe, the Cosmic Secret Realm is filled with too much dust and debris, making it impossible to Cosmic Shuttle inside. It is 27,500 light-years away from the outer starry sky of the Lingdi Secret Realm. To leave, one can only rely on the Divine Kingdom Teleportation.

Now, the spaceship is following the star map, activating its detectors, and moving towards the Biting Star Belt at sub-light speed.

The largest diameter of the entire Biting Star Belt is close to 300 light-years, so in the past 20 years, it has neither encountered any dangers worth worrying about nor any opportunities worth paying attention to.

Whoosh!

The strange creature, with an upper body resembling a human and a lower body consisting of four thick hooves and a scaly tail, moved swiftly and soon appeared on the mountaintop.

This is a creature of the Prison Race.

It was also a World Lord level Life Puppet that Lin Yan created during the "Purgatory Abyss".

The Green Line Devouring Worm instantly entered the Inner World of this World Lord level Prison Race puppet, where all that could be seen was a vast, desolate grassland.

"Now we'll rely on the Green Line Devouring Worm to try and carve out this Qilu Statue, and imitate the scale patterns of this Qilu Statue."

Standing on the vast grassland, the Green Line Devouring Worm moved its mind, and instantly a large amount of World Power gathered on the grassland, creating a massive mountain range over ten thousand kilometers long out of thin air. This mountain range was purely for carving purposes.

Furthermore, the World Power simultaneously generated tens of thousands of carving knives of different sizes, some hundreds of kilometers long, others smaller than an ant.

It stood quietly on the grassland, looking up at the large mountain range.

At the same moment!

In the Blood Demon Forbidden Zone, the Qingfu Mengchong hovered 70,000 kilometers underground, staring intently at the "Wooden Beast God Carving," scrutinizing every scale of the carving, trying to feel the divine aura emanating from it. That Divine Charm was then imprinted into the consciousness of the Green Line Devouring Worm.

In Chaos City, Lin Yan, dressed in black, also released a Green Line Devouring Worm clone to carefully observe the projection of the Qilu statue and feel the oppressive aura emanating from it.

When the Green Line Devouring Worm Domain Lord level, the Talent Secret Method "Clone Technique" can simultaneously create one hundred clones.

Of these one hundred clones, only half are with the Green Line Devouring Worm, and three are with the Xue Qiao Clone. The rest are mostly searching near the Solar System to see if they can find any treasures that might exist on Earth in another era.

Snap!

The four pairs of Blade Wings behind the Green Line Devouring Worm vibrated slightly, rapidly circling the mountain range that stretched for over ten thousand kilometers. At the same time, it used its telekinesis to control tens of thousands of carving knives, carving the massive mountain range like lightning.

The general shape of the Qilu Statue is easy to carve, but the scale texture is the most complex part.

However, Lin Yan's Soul Amplitude was as high as 70 times, which is enough to show how unparalleled his control over mental power had become. Even if it was refined to the extreme, it was impossible for him to make a mistake!

Others may not be able to find a precise standard when copying the Qilu Statue, because it is impossible to find the true Divine Charm Conception.

However, as the Green Line Devouring Worm carved, it tried to bring the carving feeling closer to the Divine Charm of "Beast God Carving," constantly sensing this divine power in its heart while carving...

It has form and spirit.

Only then can one gradually achieve something.

This is the accurate standard!

The carving process was completed in one go, with 96,142 scales carved in one stroke, forming a continuous and mysterious pattern resembling a Law Secret Patterns.

A moment later.

A massive, lifelike rock Beast God Statue with outstretched claws was carved out.

"Hiss..." A hint of excitement flashed in the eyes of the Green Line Devouring Worm as it stared at the Qilu Statue, which had been carved into a claw-wielding form and stretched for tens of thousands of kilometers.

Whoosh!

It flashed and landed directly in front of the Qilu rock statue, reaching out to touch the stone carving and feeling the faint, extremely weak fluctuations of the entire Beast God Statue.

"Fluctuation."

"The fluctuations of the Universe Law triggered cosmic fluctuations that are different from any of the laws of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, light, time, and space."

"Cosmic fluctuations arising from the Mu Kong Fusion Law!"

Just the first time!

The Green Line Devouring Worm successfully copied the Qilu Statue!

The copied sculpture contains very weak energy and lacks any sense of power, making it quite different from the real Qilu Statue.

Lin Yan, however, was very excited about this.

The wooden Beast God Carving itself is impossible to imitate. If you try to imitate even a little bit of the scales, you will be subject to interference and suppression from the Universe Law.

The Qilu Statue can be copied, but it lacks the true Divine Charm, leaving the copyist without a clear target in mind.

Only by combining the two can something be accomplished.

This is also why Lin Yan sought out the Qilu Statue Projection. There are very few Beast God Statue in the universe, but for those who cultivate the Path of the Beast God, they are true Supreme Treasure.

It's not surprising that Green Line Devouring Worm succeeded on the first try. After all, he had studied the Azure Firmament for sixty years, overcome many difficulties in the Fusion Law, and had also comprehended the "Wooden Beast God Carving" for a long time, integrating its Divine Charm Conception into his subconscious.

"As expected, while the projection of the Qilu Statue is slightly inferior in terms of sensory perception, it is sufficient to achieve the desired effect at this stage, at most the effect may be slightly worse."

He knew in his heart that there was nothing he could do. He couldn't possibly place a Green Line Devouring Worm clone on Augustus Planet, nor could he personally go to Augustus Planet for long-term seclusion in order to comprehend the Qilu Statue. That would only be a losing proposition.

Therefore, it is perfectly acceptable for the effect to be slightly worse.

Boom!

With a thought, the Green Line Devouring Worm instantly disintegrated the rock statue of the Qilu, manipulated the World Power to restore the mountain, and then continued the tedious carving, restoring it again, carving it again... and so on!

Each carving is done in one go, as fast as lightning. In a day on Earth time, it can be carved tens of thousands of times.

In this process of imitation, he succeeded every time. Green Line Devouring Worm truly grasped the weakest bit of Conception, which can be named "Beast God Artistic Conception".

Working tirelessly, as if possessed.

The Green Line Devouring Worm constantly copied and carved, almost to the point of instinct, for a month, two months, half a year, a year... seemingly without end.

It stopped abruptly after a full year and two months.

The Green Line Devouring Worm slowly closed its eyes, its mind gradually calming down. It didn't know how much time had passed before it opened them again.

Laugh!

With a flap of its Blade Wings, the Green Line Devouring Worm, resembling a ghost, moved its slender, War Blade- like forelimbs with a unique and unpretentious charm.

Tear!

The War Blade instantly tore through the surrounding Universe Space, and a dazzling blade light shone brightly in the Inner World.

"Hiss..." A hint of joy appeared in the eyes of the Green Line Devouring Worm.

Over the course of more than a year, through continuous copying and carving, Lin Yan could feel that the "Beast God Artistic Conception" was constantly being strengthened and consolidated, to the point that as time went on, the "giant statue" he carved already had a very faint trace of aura.

While the power displayed by this casual strike, imbued with the Beast God Artistic Conception, was not surprising to Lin Yan —after all, his current mastery of it was still relatively superficial—it was enough to confirm its astonishing compatibility with the Green Line Devouring Worm.

This naturally surprised him.

But that wasn't all that surprised Lin Yan the most.

Combined with the study of the "Azure Firmament" secret manual, it will allow the Green Line Devouring Worm to discover its mysteries.

"If cultivating the Fusion Law is about studying their principles, Beast God Artistic Conception is about applying those principles beyond their application."

"It's like some car repairmen who, even without understanding the principles, can still repair cars through practice. When a skilled car repairman studies the principles and compares them with his own repair experience, he naturally understands them much faster."

The Beast God Artistic Conception is an application that transcends the mysteries, while the Fusion Law is the principle of these mysteries themselves.

At this moment, in the Milky Way Galaxy.

Lin Yan, dressed in white, stood in the cosmic starry sky, gazing at the other side of the starry sky, and couldn't help but reveal a smile.

"Indeed, understanding the plot is beneficial." Lin Yan was secretly pleased. "Although there are very few opportunities that can be discovered through the plot, Luo Feng's cultivation process is already of great reference value."

If Lin Yan hadn't known about Luo Feng's cultivation path, he wouldn't have gone looking for the so-called Qilu Statue Projection for no reason.

"Moreover, unlike Luo Feng, he has no understanding of the Fusion Law. It is assumed that he will only grasp a little bit after copying it a hundred million times. But I have already understood some of the Fusion Law, and the effect I can achieve by copying it a million times will far surpass his."

"The more you comprehend the Fusion Law and the more you know about its internal theories, the easier it will be to master the Beast God Artistic Conception."

Through continuous copying, Lin Yan's understanding of this subject deepened.

The "Beast God Artistic Conception" and the "Fusion Law" are mutually reinforcing.

The more you understand the Fusion Law, the more efficient you will be in mastering the Beast God Artistic Conception through imitation.

The more Beast God Artistic Conception one masters, the more efficient one becomes in comprehending Fusion Law.

"And to achieve the best results..." Lin Yan's eyes brightened slightly, "That is to always keep the 'Beast God Artistic Conception' a step above the 'Fusion Law,' so that they can promote each other and achieve the best progress."

"One year is not enough."

"The Green Line Devouring Worm will continue to imitate and carve until it reaches a level of understanding that is a notch above its current level. This will take quite some time. Once that time is up, it will be much less time-consuming to study the Azure Firmament Secret Manual. The time I originally calculated will be much less. I am fully confident that within a few decades, my understanding of the Path of the Beast God will reach the first level of the Beast God Inheritance!"

Lin Yan was confident about this.

He has already reached the limit in every aspect of studying the Path of the Beast God, so there is no reason why he cannot do it.

The three clones each performed their duties: the Green Line Devouring Worm continued to copy and carve, the Blood Hound comprehended the laws in Chaos City, and his true self was located 2.6 light-years away from Earth.

Lin Yan pursed his lips and looked up into the distance.

"Boom..."

In the dark cosmic sky, a massive Void Vortex appeared in sight, twisting and spreading out in concentric circles.

At this moment—

An incredibly terrifying aura emanated from Lin Yan. In front of him floated a plant that resembled aquatic plants. It was entirely golden and grew very lushly, with at least a hundred vines.

"Bloom," Lin Yan said softly.

Just as a small blade of grass grows into a towering giant, this golden star -Star Eater Grass, resembling aquatic plants, spread out wildly in all directions at an astonishing speed.

Each vine of those Star Eater Grass was growing thicker and longer at an alarming rate, with countless sharp edges on its leaves that resembled serrations. In almost an instant, it transformed into a true "giant celestial body."

Each main vine is hundreds of thousands of kilometers long, and there are countless leaves on the main vine. One hundred main vines... make the entire Immortal Star Eater Grass the size of a sun!

The fully erupted "Immortal Star Eater Grass" floated in the starry sky, just like an incredibly lush seaweed... except that this seaweed was comparable in size to the sun, and its powerful and terrifying immortal aura was even more chilling.

Lin Yan smiled, "The Hundred Vine Star Eater Grass with the Immortal Army Lord Peak, combined with the detector, is enough to protect this wormhole."

He gazed intently at the Void Vortex in the cosmic starry sky and sighed softly.

"Wormhole Effect..."

"The second level of 'The Primordial Beginning' is much more difficult than I imagined."
