Great Annihilation Sword!
The Outer Domain Battlefield, the ruling class of the Demon Race on the Outer Domain Battlefield.
"Confirmation message".
"On the Main Continent of the Yan Ji Continent, the human Marquis 'Marquis Bi You' possesses combat power close to that of King Rank and is skilled in concocting special poisons called 'Bi You Poison,' posing a greater threat than ordinary High-class Feng Wang. He should be killed."
Looking at the results displayed on the screen from the battlefield's Intelligent life form, two completely black puppets sat there.
The Demon Race has a natural advantage: a powerful physique. Especially the strong Demon Race, whose Immortal Divine Body are enormous, giving them a great advantage in battle. However, this is often inconvenient in daily life, and they cannot even travel in spaceships. Therefore, a kind of "Puppet Body" that can be controlled through consciousness is very popular among the Demon Race.
This "Puppet Body" is somewhat similar to Mechanical Puppet. It is made of alloy and contains a consciousness receiver. By sending a wisp of consciousness into the Puppet Body, one can control it.
Their true forms are hidden in "World Ring" that have long been refined, carried by Puppet Body, and can come out at any time. Moreover, these are all very weak World Ring, containing relatively small A World... Even if they encounter special difficulties, their true forms can completely blast away the entire A World with their power, and then come out again.
This is a popular method for the Demon Race to travel in spaceships when venturing into the cosmos, which has long avoided many dangers. Of course... because World Ring are not cheap, only powerful Demon Race members can afford to play with them.
"Judging from the data analysis of the battlefield Intelligent life form, the strength of this human 'Marquis Bi You' has improved rapidly. At the beginning, he was only at the Peak Feng Hou, but in just a few decades, he has reached the level of King Rank. His Law Comprehension... has at least reached the level of King Rank!" A man with a black body and a lion's head said in a deep voice.
"However, even for a true King level Immortal, it is not easy to kill King-level Immortal who possesses Undying Body. And among the Peak Feng Hou experts killed by this Marquis Bi You, three belonged to my Demon Race!"
The black-bodied, lion-headed man's voice was somewhat angry.
The King-level Immortal possesses Undying Body, making him difficult to kill even for Feng Wang expert. Feng Wang expert typically fight in places like the "Star Tower" where large numbers of King Rank gather. If they were to slaughter the weaker members of Alien Race, it would provoke widespread anger.
Therefore... those King-level Immortal are not easy to perish, and they are a very important force for all factions. The existence of this Marquis Bi You can be said to have disrupted the balance.
"It's best to eliminate this threat as soon as possible..." another black-bodied man with ninety-nine small heads said in a low voice, "It's fine if his Law Comprehension reaches the level of King Rank, but if we wait until his Immortal Divine Body also reaches the level of King Rank, even sending Peak Feng Wang will not be able to kill him."
The moment one steps from the World Master to the "Immortal God," the Universe Origin place and the Sea of Laws activated. At that time, endless energy will be provided to directly transform the World Master's body into an "Immortal Divine Body." This opportunity to obtain terrifying energy to transform into Immortal Divine Body for free is only available once.
Therefore, if one reaches the King Rank level in the Law Comprehension of the World Lord level, once one becomes Immortal God, one can directly become King level Immortal!
However, if a Peak Feng Hou Immortal God Law Comprehension the level of King Rank after entering the immortal realm still needs to spend a long time constantly refining his "divine body" before he can truly reach the level of King Rank.
The stronger the divine body, the greater the power, and the more difficult it is to damage the essence of the divine body.
"Hmm... He also has a high level of expertise in potions, and he can even erode the Immortal Divine Body of Peak Feng Hou. This poses an even greater threat than the former, and we must not let it develop." The black-bodied lion-headed man nodded.
"Then I will immediately report to the clan and have them issue the order," said the black-bodied man with ninety-nine small heads.
At this moment, Lin Yan had no idea that he had become a prime target of the Demon Race.
Of course, he was mentally prepared for this.
After all, he was disguised as Peak Feng Hou human expert. Using some potions and poisons to kill some Marquis experts was perfectly reasonable and wouldn't make the Alien Race too nervous. Even if he attracted the Alien Race's pursuit, it wouldn't reach the point where he couldn't control the situation.
Compared to these dangers, Lin Yan values improving his own strength more, and Creation Secret Technique is naturally one of the most important ways to achieve this.
Virtual Universe, Thunder Island.
Mu Xing Divine Palace.
When Lin Yan cultivated here, the "training ground" he used was no longer a fixed space like in the Original Zone. It became more luxurious, like a "Slaughter Arena" that charged extremely high fees to the public, with an infinitely vast virtual space inside.
The training ground is simulated as the universe and starry sky.
"Buzz..."
A blurry shadow suddenly appeared in the vast starry sky and then gradually solidified, with storms of electromagnetic fluids swirling around it.
Moment.
A figure nearly 100 kilometers tall stands in the starry sky.
He had a pair of silver curved horns, purple eyes, and his whole body was covered with a layer of gray scales. He also had a scorpion tail, and a bloody and domineering aura emanated from him.
Although it looks like a human, it is actually the "Purple Pupa Beast" among the Starry Sky Beast. Starry Sky Beast come in all shapes and sizes, and naturally some of them resemble human forms. The Purple Pupa Beast is one of them.
Among the "Thunder Attribute" Starry Sky Beast, it ranks second only to the "Hui Suo Beast" among the Twelve Peak Bloodlines. It is ferocious and contains astonishing combat power, and is known for its bloodlust and savagery.
Of course... the vast majority of the Starry Sky Beast are extremely bloodthirsty.
"Waaah!"
The Purple Pupa Beast looked down at the tiny human before it— Lin Yan —its purple eyes filled with a chilling killing intent.
Lin Yan stood in the void, his gaze cold as he looked at the Purple Pupa Beast, his right hand gripping the hilt of the Xuanyuan Sword behind him.
Wow!
The sword is drawn.
"Let's begin!" he thought to himself.
Boom!
The first battle begins!
In the years to come.
Lin Yan began his journey of training in the Virtual Universe.
Every opponent he faced was terrifying, each targeting his weaknesses in battle. However, his basic attributes in the Virtual Universe were fixed. To unleash greater combat power, he could only rely on his Law Comprehension and create powerful secret techniques to defeat the opponents arranged by the Mu Xing Country Lord.
These shortcomings... are something even Lin Yan, Creation Secret Technique, couldn't see. Even if he designed it himself, he wouldn't be able to confirm where the shortcomings were. In the end, Lin Yan's current level is nothing compared to a true Universe Overlord, and the secret technique he created is not profound at all. Its flaws can be easily seen through.
Then we need to devise a training plan for him. He must defeat one opponent before another one will appear.
"Being able to defeat 500 means that the secret technique you created is already top-tier."
"If you can defeat 1,000 of them, it means that the secret technique you created has reached its peak."
"If one can defeat 2,000 opponents, does that mean the secret technique one created has reached its ultimate level?"
Lin Yan said silently.
His requirement for himself was to refine this self-created secret technique to its "peak" level!
Almost every Universe Venerable can create their own Peak Ultimate Skill, including the True Yan King, who can be described as "Invincible Feng Wang and close to the venerable level", or the peerless genius like Ke Di, whose secret techniques are all considered Peak Ultimate Skill.
Of course, just like the opponents in this challenge, from the 1000th to the 1999th, all of them are considered to be at the Peak Ultimate Skill. So even though they are all at the Peak Ultimate Skill, the difference is still very large, and it is normal for the difference to be several times or even more than ten times.
Furthermore... the Law Comprehension is the principle and foundation of secret arts. Even if both are barely at the level of "Peak Ultimate Skill", the Peak Ultimate Skill created by the Space Venerable who has fully comprehended the Space Law are very different from the Peak Ultimate Skill created by the Law Comprehension who is only at the level of King Rank.
Secret techniques and ultimate skills are undoubtedly key to a Strongest Battle.
The process of Self-created secret technique was naturally extremely difficult!
For example, defeating the first 500 opponents to achieve "top-level skills" does not mean that the opponents you face at the beginning can be easily killed as if cutting melons and vegetables.
His opponents were equally powerful, and their fighting style, which targeted the weaknesses of Lin Yan's secret techniques, made him feel very uncomfortable, preventing him from using them in a natural and smooth manner. Therefore, killing each opponent was very difficult.
After each battle, extensive reflection and research are required to improve the secret techniques.
Sometimes, if he can easily grasp the problem, he can defeat an opponent in just a few days.
Sometimes it can take up to ten years to defeat a single opponent!
Among the top 500 opponents, the most difficult one is the powerful cosmic race, the "Jiu Huo Clan." The Jiu Huo Clan lives in a remote place, an endless distance from Human territory, and is a race that occupies a vast Cosmic Secret Realm!
The Jiu Huo Clan resembles a human, with nine fiery red tentacles on their heads, each wreathed in flames. Their eyes are like fiery red jade, and they possess extremely powerful Talent Secret Method.
While it might not be able to unleash any special power at the World Lord level, Lin Yan was facing the Immortal level Jiu Huo Clan. Once he used those nine fiery red tentacles to perform his Talent Secret Method, he would create a controllable "Space Turbulence," which would be extremely terrifying.
Lin Yan pushed the secret technique to the "top" level, defeating 500 opponents in a total of 82 years. During that time, he fought the Jiu Huo Clan over a thousand times, taking 24 years to finally defeat this opponent, which shows just how powerful it was.
However, the fact that it took Lin Yan a full 24 years to defeat the Jiu Huo Clan was not purely because this opponent was difficult to defeat. In fact, Lin Yan already had the ability to defeat his opponent in the 8th year.
The reason he stayed for so long was because the Talent Secret Method of the Jiu Huo Clan had some similarities with the secret technique that Lin Yan wanted to create. For a long time, he was looking for inspiration from it and then conducting research and improvement.
After reaching the top level, this Self-created secret technique has undergone tremendous changes since its inception.
In its early stages, this secret technique still showed many traces of "Black Hole Evolution," as it was based on this and many ideas were extracted from the Combat Secret Technique in "Black Hole Evolution." However, there are now very obvious differences.
Having reached this point, the power of this ultimate technique has completely surpassed the second move of Break Prohibition when Lin Yan used the "Primordial Secret Sword".
But Lin Yan was not satisfied with this.
He continued his research on this!
As the journey progressed, the difficulty naturally increased, and the time required to defeat each opponent became increasingly astonishing. Lin Yan, while comprehending the laws and studying the secret techniques, found it quite fulfilling.
It took Lin Yan nearly 500 years to go from the 501st opponent to the 1000th!
"Boom!"
His body, forged from crystal and bathed in flames, had eyes that resembled Black Flames. His majestic divine form stood in the starry sky, emanating a powerful aura.
The flames emanating from that strange life form had a powerful effect, burning the surrounding space and causing it to crack open, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.
Lin Yan's gaze was as deep as the sea, and he suddenly thrust out the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand.
"Tear!"
The ancient sword, originally golden in color, transformed into a black sword beam at this moment. With just one thrust, the previously stable space around it instantly collapsed inch by inch!
The surrounding tens of thousands of kilometers of Universe Space shattered completely, with Space Turbulence surging. This Space Turbulence was filled with all kinds of Space Fragments, each of which was no less powerful than a planet colliding with it.
Large ripples of black light spread outwards, and countless black threads seeped into the endless Space Turbulence.
Suddenly, a massive black tide surged up in the starry sky, containing endless destructive intent. As far as the eye could see, there were endless black sword shadows, making it impossible to muster the courage to resist such power.
Unstoppable!
It's as if the Universe Space will be Destruction!
"Roar..." The crystal deity in the distant flames moved, leaving a phantom in the cosmic starry sky, and attacked directly.
The massive black sword tide instantly engulfed everything.
Boom!
The instant the two came into contact, the flames on the crystal deity suddenly surged up, turning pure black. The scorching temperature was a thousand times more terrifying than that of a star, and the power it contained was even more terrifying!
Black Flames burned... constantly shattering, disintegrating, and vanishing the surging tide of swords!
But that vast tide of swords Endless Vitality; even when it dissipated, more sword shadows would emerge, seemingly endless.
Beneath the black sword tide, the pure black flames burning on the crystal deity's body disintegrated and dissipated like snow meeting the blazing sun!
On one side was the pure black flame, like a solid barrier.
On one side, a surging tide of swords completely engulfed it!
Boom!
The crystal deity only held on for a moment before its crystal-forged divine body shattered completely, like glass, and finally... turned into powder.
"Hahahaha... It's done, it's finally done!" Lin Yan stood in the starry sky, very excited.
This 1000th opponent was Special Lifeform in the universe called "Sheng Yan". After blocking Lin Yan for 47 years, he finally killed him!
Sheng Yan's innate ability, "Burning Fire," imbues attacks with strange flames that have a powerful Destruction effect on even Immortal Divine Body. Furthermore, it can negate external attack power, which is why Lin Yan's attacks have been ineffective against it for a long time.
On the contrary, the opponent's attacks posed a great threat to Lin Yan. It took Lin Yan 47 years of research to finally defeat his opponent!
"Peak Ultimate Skill!" Lin Yan raised the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand, examining it carefully, his heart filled with joy. "My own Peak Ultimate Skill!"
Although he has only created the first move, and it has only just reached the level of Peak Ultimate Skill, it is still a "Peak Ultimate Skill" and is enough for him to use now.
Moreover... this is just the beginning.
Suddenly--
A figure in white appeared in the starry sky, seemingly otherworldly. Lin Yan turned his head and bowed respectfully. "Teacher."
The figure of the Mu Xing Country Lord was ethereal and hazy, only his eyes, as bright as stars, looked at Lin Yan.
"To have achieved this in just over five hundred years is very good." She chuckled and praised, "I thought that even you would need one or two thousand years to reach the peak level, but I underestimated you."
"This is mainly thanks to the teacher's help," Lin Yan said with a smile.
His original foundation was already profound; he had studied many secret methods, learned from and accumulated them, and based his work on the ultimate secret manual, "Black Hole Evolution," so many things were naturally easy for him to understand.
Certainly!
The main reason is the help of the Mu Xing Country Lord. Based on his progress, opponents are arranged at any time, and his weaknesses are targeted every time. Under such circumstances, his efficiency in creating unique skills can be hundreds or thousands of times that of burying himself in research. It is not surprising that he progresses faster.
More than 500 years is comparable to hundreds of thousands of years of dedicated research!
Even... this is because Lin Yan has great ambitions. Based on "Black Hole Evolution," he sorted out and integrated ideas from many other secret techniques, which led to some incredible ideas, and he continued to research and explore.
If it were simply a matter of following the steps, it would be much simpler, and probably wouldn't even take five hundred years.
However, the result was still gratifying.
"Do you wish to continue to challenge the 1001st opponent? I see that your secret techniques still have much to offer, and it doesn't seem like you're prepared to end here." A hint of a smile appeared in the eyes of the Mu Xing Country Lord.
With her insightful perspective, she could certainly see her disciple's thoughts: as his unique skills became more and more perfect, the directions he explored were also more astonishing.
"I have heard that there are many peerless geniuses among the various races of the universe who, below the Universe Venerable, have created their own Peak Ultimate Skill. Some have even created Ultimate Technique. If they can do it, then I... will not shirk my responsibility." Lin Yan pursed his lips, his eyes sharp.
Ultimate Technique!
Most of the secret techniques and ultimate skills at this level can only be created by beings who are at least "Universe Overlord". For example, the real "Celestial Movement" is Ultimate Technique. In order to make it easier for Lin Yan to cultivate, the Mu Xing Country Lord simplified it, but it is still a super Peak Ultimate Skill!
If you are to cultivate someone else's Ultimate Technique, it is very difficult to cultivate. Once you succeed, the power of the Ultimate Technique can be comparable to a self-created Peak Ultimate Skill. Even if it is not suitable for you, it is at least better than a self-created top-level technique.
Generally speaking, those King Rank create "top-level martial arts", those who are Universe Venerable create "Peak Ultimate Skill", and only those Universe Overlord or above can create "Ultimate Technique".
This is normal; true geniuses often break the mold.
As far as Lin Yan knows...
The Ancestor God Cult, the strongest force in the Primordial Universe, gathers unparalleled geniuses from Myriad Races across the universe. Among the countless inheritors of this cult, there are secret techniques that have reached the level of "Ultimate Technique."
Take the True Yan King as an example. After spending hundreds of millions of years, his secret techniques and ultimate skills are also close to the "ultimate" super Peak Ultimate Skill!
Lin Yan will inevitably cross the two thresholds of Immortality and Universe Venerable in the future. Once he breaks through, he will be able to possess top-tier Universe Overlord Divine Body. In that case... at the World Master level, he must try his best to perfect his Self-created secret technique.
In terms of Law Comprehension, whether World Master or an immortal, there is no essential difference for Lin Yan. What others can do, he can do too!
Ultimate Technique are very difficult.
However, it is absolutely necessary for Lin Yan to move in this direction.
"Hmm." The Mu Xing Country Lord responded softly, smiling as he asked, "After all, this is your first creation of Peak Ultimate Skill. Have you thought about what to name it?"
Lin Yan pondered for a moment, "Let's call this first move 'Great Annihilation Sword'."
This sword...
The core of the secret technique is derived from the destructive Conception of a "Black Hole." Black Hole exists between the "Primordial Universe" and "Space Turbulence." Space Turbulence cannot disturb it, and is even affected by it!
In Lin Yan's vision, the Great Annihilation Sword... is based on this, controlling the Space Turbulence, causing spacetime to become completely disordered, and ultimately forming Sword of Annihilation!
Although it cannot do this yet, its power is already beginning to show.
No one survives under the sword; this is annihilation.
