Star Prison Demon Lord!
Outer Domain Battlefield.
An E9-class Spaceship quietly departed from the Main Continent of the Yan Ji Continent, passing through the surrounding land fragments, and headed towards the nearest Universe Shuttle Point to the Yan Ji Continent.
The miniature detector was activated, its radiation shielding the spaceship from external probes as it prepared to return to the Barracks Base 026.
"The second level is much more difficult than the first level."
Lin Yan sensed his own body. Although it looked the same as before, there were actually earth-shattering changes at the cellular level.
If the special feature of the "Superhuman Bloodline" in the beginning was that... its extraordinary cellular structure and the Bio-force Field it emitted required a lot of energy, thus evolving the characteristic of absorbing energy, especially "Solar Energy"!
The cells in his body have the ability to absorb and store Solar Energy, thus forming a state similar to a "Micro Star". Therefore, the Body Amplitude Secret Method "Nine Refinements of Flame Crystal Body", which is extremely difficult for others to cultivate, has an almost innate compatibility with Lin Yan, and he can easily cultivate it to the perfect limit.
After that...
Lin Yan then came into contact with the secret technique of "Black Hole Sacred Body". His body cells underwent a huge change from the state of "Micro Star" and collapsed and compressed to form "Micro Black Hole".
Every cell is a tiny Black Hole!
These "Black Hole cell" can devour all kinds of matter, including the mental energy of others and the impact they withstand, in order to strengthen themselves!
This also made it impossible for Lin Yan to cultivate the "Nine Refinements of Flame Crystal Body" as easily as before. He had already reached the first level thousands of years ago, but even now, his Law Comprehension has improved from the Tongtian Bridge 15th floor to the 19th level, but... he still has not been able to comprehend the second level.
Just like the most precious Supreme Treasure Armor, which can theoretically reduce external impact by ten, a hundred, or even a thousand or ten thousand times, they have their own upper limit. For example, the Black Phoenix Armor can reduce the impact by a thousand times in its second form, but if the enemy it faces is the Lord of the Universe, it will not have any effect in resisting the attack and will be torn apart directly.
These "Black Hole cell" have limits to the amount of matter they can absorb and the impact they can withstand.
Each step forward represents a qualitative transformation.
"Strictly speaking, the Black Hole Sacred Body is not a pure Body Amplitude Secret Method. Amplifying the body's power is merely a side ability, not the key one."
Lin Yan pondered, "This is more like a transformation of the body, such as allowing me to have a wonderful special sense when comprehending the 'Chaos Monster Diagram' of the Universe Chaos Stele, and of course, it is more manifested in... physical strength."
Physical strength.
This is also what Lin Yan has always felt is the extraordinary aspect of "Black Hole Sacred Body"—this concept is almost like the Body Refinement techniques in fantasy and martial arts novels.
To date, within Lin Yan's understanding of cultivation knowledge in the Primordial Universe, the concept of "Body Refinement techniques" does not exist.
Physical strength is primarily determined by genetics. For example, Metal Lifeform and Rock Lifeform are naturally robust and incredibly hard. At the same level, it's quite normal for them to be seven or eight times harder than Flesh-type.
The same applies to Plant-type Lifeform. The Mo Yun Vine, with its 108 main vines, is at the Initial Feng Hou, but its physical strength is comparable to that of a human powerhouse at the High-class Feng Hou.
Secondly, it is determined by the "Life Gene Level".
As an important standard that can be improved later in Life Gene Level, if a human at the Initial Feng Hou is improved from 1 to 10 times, the Immortal Divine Body can be comparable to a human at the Initial Feng Wang.
Finally, the "Body Amplitude Secret Method" was decided.
Even Great Nirvana period when Earth's cultivation civilization was just beginning, Earth Warrior created secret manuals such as the "Nine Heavens Thunder Blade," which included the concept of "exerting force." The Virtual Universe even has a special plane called the "Immortal Altar," where brute force is considered "1 unit." If one's force reaches 100 units, it means that one has achieved perfect control over the body.
Perfectly controlling the body to achieve the "1x standard" of Body Amplitude, and reaching 100x amplitude is reaching the upper limit of the universe.
The martial arts manuals created by Earth Warrior, such as the "Nine Heavens Thunder Blade," can only greatly increase attack and speed when exerted, but they have never been able to achieve amplification in defense. However, in the universe, defense... can naturally be amplified.
However, this defensive amplitude is very different from Lin Yan's current situation.
To reach the limit of the first level of the Black Hole Sacred Body, Lin Yan needed to exchange for a total of 2.13 billion points for various materials, which was almost the entire wealth of an ordinary Feng Wang expert. Even though most of them were very precious treasures, when added together, they could rival the size of the moon.
And if you want to enter the second level, the materials required are said to be nearly a hundred billion points... that's not an exaggeration at all!
What kind of concept is this?
The complete secret technique has nine levels, and even the second level is already this exaggerated!
Later on, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were eating precious treasures, even the Supreme Treasure!
If the "Black Hole Sacred Body" were simply Body Amplitude Secret Method, Lin Yan wouldn't need to go through all this trouble. A chance to Divine General inheritance's legacy would only cost him a few hundred billion points.
For those who King level Immortal, they might have to incur a lot of favors to compete for the title, but for Lin Yan, as long as he applies, he can create a spot even if there are no available slots.
However high the price and difficulty of cultivating the "Black Hole Sacred Body", its advantages cannot be ignored.
After these substances are devoured by the Black Hole cell, although their properties are different and they cannot be said to be comparable to G-class metal, the improvement in the body's defensive capabilities is still terrifying... Although Lin Yan is currently at the World Lord peak, even if he does not wear Defense Armor, the Self-destruct of Immortal Army Lord Peak would hardly pose any threat to him.
If one can truly cultivate to an extremely high level, saying "indestructible through Myriad Tribulations" would not be an exaggeration.
This reminded Lin Yan of the "Molten Demon God" in the extremely dangerous place of the Cosmic Sea, which even the Universe's Strongest, such as the Great Axe Founder, could not cause any damage to.
Certainly.
Even though Lin Yan longed for this realm, the current difficulty was that he found it very difficult to even step into the second level.
"Black Hole, Black Hole..." Lin Yan lamented, "Where exactly is the problem?"
Perhaps the Black Hole Sacred Body is not as easy as the Nine Refinements of Flame Crystal Body, but Lin Yan firmly believes that he is still the most likely person to cultivate this secret technique, which no one in the human race has ever cultivated to such a high level.
His years of research and practice on "Black Hole" have made it a crucial part of his cultivation path.
Most importantly... Lin Yan has the "Golden Framework," which remains true to the same principle despite all the changes. Since the Black Hole Sacred Body is related to the body, it may not feel strong now, but it will be difficult to remain unrelated to the Life Gene Level in the future.
He continued his research on this.
Teleportation... was an urgent matter for Lin Yan, and he could only work harder on it. Suddenly, he frowned and stopped cultivating.
"Did the teacher want to see me about something?"
His Virtual Universe account received an email from the Mu Xing Country Lord. After thinking for a moment, Lin Yan quickly connected a wisp of his consciousness to the Virtual Universe.
Virtual Universe, Thunder Island.
The Central Mountain Range was shrouded in Chaos Qi flow. In the magnificent Mu Xing Divine Palace, a vast Palace Cluster stretched endlessly. Lin Yan and the Mu Xing Country Lord walked side by side on a corridor that seemed to be filled with starlight.
After learning about Lin Yan's recent cultivation progress, the Mu Xing Country Lord suddenly changed the subject.
"Lin Yan, you've been cultivating the 'Black Hole Evolution' for so many years, have you ever wondered who created this secret manual?" she asked softly.
"Black Hole Evolution?" Lin Yan was genuinely intrigued upon hearing this.
He began cultivating "Black Hole Evolution" as soon as he left Chaos City and headed to the Original Secret Realm. To be honest... those combat techniques didn't leave a deep impression on Lin Yan, but the core secret technique "Primordial Beginning" truly possessed inhuman ideas and abilities.
Even when he was still at the Cosmic level, although he had grasped the first level of "Black Hole Force Field", he was limited by his vision and knowledge and did not truly realize how terrifying it was.
"Black Hole contain the ultimate truths of the universe, and it is from this that I have come to understand the ultimate technique, 'The Primordial Beginning'."
"The Primordial Beginning" - mastering the first three levels will make you invincible below the 'Universe Venerable' level.
Mastering the first five levels will make you invincible below the 'Lord of the Universe' level.
Upon reaching the sixth level, one can transform into Black Hole, devouring everything, becoming comparable to a true cosmic ruler, and standing at the pinnacle of the universe.
This is a brief description recorded on the first page of the secret method of "The Primordial Beginning".
If we're talking about the path of the Path of the Beast God like the "Azure Luo Secret Technique," it generally involves transforming oneself into a true Beast God. However, Beast God are the embodiment of the Eight Fusion Laws, and there are traces to follow. In comparison, the cosmic principles contained in the "Black Hole" are obviously more mysterious and unpredictable.
Lin Yan said, "I once met the second disciple of the Chaos City Lord, 'Venerable Guiyi,' who left a deep impression on me. The aura emanating from him seemed to be the complete opposite of the destructive Conception of 'Black Hole Evolution.'"
"I later learned that most of the Chaos City Lord's personal disciples were renowned, but I had never heard of any information about the Chaos City Lord's eldest disciple."
The Mu Xing Country Lord smiled slightly and then said, "You're half right."
"Half?" Lin Yan was slightly taken aback.
"Black Hole Evolution is one of the most advanced martial arts combat manuals in the Virtual Universe Treasury. It records a total of 108 Combat Secret Technique, from low to high," said the Mu Xing Country Lord. "Some can be used by those below the level of Immortal God, while others can only be used after becoming Immortal God. Cultivating to a higher level can lead to the title of 'Universe Venerable,' and there are even Combat Secret Technique that only the Lord of the Universe can use!"
"This secret manual encompasses all kinds of techniques, including swords, fists, and staffs, each with its own unique features. It was not created by a single person, but rather it was compiled and integrated over a long period of time by selecting, integrating, and collecting secret techniques in this area."
"For example, the 'Nine Refinements of Flame Crystal Body' was actually created by the Flame Crystal Country Lord 'Yan Poluo'. The Yan Poluo race is one of the human Domain Lord level bloodlines. Although their cultivation cannot progress as rapidly as yours, it is still relatively easy."
The Mu Xing Country Lord sighed, "As for the 'Primordial Beginning,' which is considered a core secret technique, it appeared relatively late. However, it does have an all-encompassing spirit. Even the 'Black Calamity' secret technique created by the Lord of the Universe seems biased in comparison. In the end... we have the 'Black Hole Evolution'!"
Lin Yan was taken aback.
This was something he hadn't expected.
After all, the secret manuals such as "The Chaos Principle" and "Time-Space Essays" were all written by the same person, which made him somewhat prejudiced. Now, when he heard his teacher, the Mu Xing Country Lord, talking about it, he immediately understood.
No wonder "Black Hole Evolution" offers a diverse range of cultivation paths, mainly divided into "fire and space," "light and time," and "time and space." Even if one cannot master the core secret technique "Primordial Beginning," one can still learn those Combat Secret Techniques.
So that's how it is.
The Nine Refinements of Flame Crystal Body was created by the Flame Crystal Country Lord, which is quite logical.
"So, when the teacher said I got half of it right, he meant that 'The Primordial Beginning' was written by the eldest disciple of the Chaos City Lord?" Lin Yan asked.
"Yes, the eldest disciple of the Chaos City Lord." The Mu Xing Country Lord paused, then sighed, "The Lord of Star Prison Demon!"
"The Lord of Star Prison Demon?" Lin Yan was immediately startled.
There are many Universe Overlord among the human race, who are infinitely close to the cosmic masters in terms of laws, but due to the weakness of the human race itself, their combat power is only at Ordinary Level.
Only three top-tier Universe Overlord possess extremely Special Encounters and the ability to create clones.
Venerable Ancestor Tree, Lord of Star Prison Demon, Lord of Heavenly Eclipse Palace!
Any one of these three is even more famous than the human race's universe master. Among them, the "Venerable Ancestor Tree" is generally considered the strongest, and is the disciple of the human race's strongest being, the "Great Axe Founder".
In terms of reputation... the "Lord of Star Prison Demon" is the most renowned, whether among Alien Race or within the human race, there is no doubt about this. The "Lord of Heavenly Eclipse Palace" is relatively ranked last among the three top-tier Universe Overlord.
This so-called reputation is naturally a bad reputation, as can be seen from the title "Demon Lord".
They slaughtered so many that even the powerful Alien Race trembled in fear, and they were regarded as a nightmare by the powerful human races!
The place where he was stationed was the most severe prison in the Human territory of the universe, the Eighteen Starfield Prison, also known as the legendary "Eighteen Hells"!
The Eighteen Starfield Prison is divided into the "Upper Nine Great Prisons" and the "Lower Nine Great Prisons".
The Upper Nine Great Prisons are the First Star Domain Prison to the Ninth Star Domain Prison. Even Immortal God would face great danger if they entered. The former "King Yan Zhu" was eccentric and had a major conflict with the True Yan King. He was imprisoned in the Ninth Star Domain Prison for 1,000 years by his father, Venerable Shi Huo, and became much more obedient.
The Lower Nine Great Prisons are the Tenth Star Domain Prison to 18th Star Domain Prison, places unknown to most Immortal God!
It gets scarier as you go on!
Even King-level Immortal God, once thrown into the 18th Star Domain Prison, have little chance of survival, which is terrifying!
This legendary Lord of Star Prison Demon is actually the eldest disciple of the Chaos City Lord?
To be honest, Lin Yan had indeed considered this possibility.
After all, among the disciples of the Chaos City Lord, the strongest, the Venerable Guiyi, was only Universe Overlord. In contrast, the Great Axe Founder, who received the teachings of the Primordial Ancestor along with the Chaos City Lord, had disciples such as the Venerable Ancestor Tree, top-tier Universe Overlord, and the Void Gold Master, a universe lord.
There's also the Darkness Lord, the junior brother of the Chaos City Lord, who also mentored the Lord of Ghost Marquis, the youngest Universe Lord in the Virtual Universe Company.
It must be said that the Primordial Ancestor lineage is truly extraordinary in teaching its disciples.
But to be honest, the Chaos City Lord is the one who pays the most attention to cultivating his disciples, but he is much less skilled in this aspect.
However... I have never heard of any relationship between the Lord of Star Prison Demon and the Chaos City Lord. Moreover, his reputation can only be described as "terrifying." In front of him, powerful figures such as the True Yan King and the Bloodthirsty King, who are known for their insane killing, are like obedient children.
Lin Yan couldn't believe that someone who was considered a taboo figure even among humankind was actually a disciple of the Chaos City Lord.
"I know you've encountered a bottleneck in your cultivation of the Black Hole Sacred Body, so..." The Mu Xing Country Lord looked at Lin Yan, "If I were to let you meet this Lord of Star Prison Demon, it might offer some inspiration, but... are you willing?"
