Upon entering the Star Tower, the Green Line Devouring Worm embarked on a unique hunting journey.

After encountering those powerful Alien Race, they first engaged in close combat to study their secret techniques, and then completely Soul Control.

At first, it wasn't a life-or-death battle, and those powerful Alien Race wouldn't send out any messages. But once they got serious, they would instantly fall into an illusion and silently become Lin Yan's Soul Servant.

The hunt lasted less than two months. The Green Line Devouring Worm fought 106 battles and controlled more than 300 Soul Servant who Feng Wang expert, including more than 40 at the Peak Feng Wang or even at the Feng Wang Limit!

The number of Feng Wang Immortal God exceeded one thousand!

This does not even include the cases where some of the Alien Race powerhouses he controls are actually Soul Servant.

How powerful are those Feng Wang expert?

While countless powerful figures from various races gather in this Star Tower to fight and kill each other, the occurrence of such a situation in just two months is still an incredibly crazy thing.

However, this incident did not cause any disturbance, nor did it even cause a ripple.

After all, given the Green Line Devouring Worm's strength in Soul Control, they simply couldn't transmit any messages.

Considering that many of the enslaved Alien Race powerhouses were of little use except for giving lectures to the Earth Human Lineage, Lin Yan simply gave some of the less valued Soul Servant accounts that were connected to the Virtual Universe and left them a coordinate token, allowing them to remain in his camp without taking them away.

So-called Soul Control is not visible on the surface. Unless you go to certain special places, you cannot detect the changes in the soul.

The Virtual Universe permeates the Primordial Universe, and even in the territories of other hostile races, it has no impact whatsoever, and no problems can be observed.

That's all...

The problem of Earth lineage lacking mentors is clearly no longer an issue; the lineup is truly impressive!

Moreover, among Lin Yan's Soul Servant, there are six Soul Masters at the Peak Feng Wang, and they control a considerable number of Feng Wang Immortal God and Immortal God.

Lin Yan also felt that continuing was not very meaningful. These Alien Race powerhouses were only playing a transitional role in the early stages. As time went on, many powerful individuals would emerge from Earth lineage, and the training mechanism would naturally mature.

Within the starry sky territory of the Nine Flame Universe Country, in the "Space Interlayer" corresponding to a certain starry sky, lies a vast divine kingdom.

This magnificent divine kingdom belongs to the Plant Lifeform "Azure Scale Vine".

God's country.

Endless primeval forests, grasslands, swamps, and mountains form a vibrant green ocean. Above the center of the divine kingdom floats a majestic, dark blue temple, hundreds of thousands of kilometers high.

The highest level of the temple.

The Green Line Devouring Worm, clad in bronze armor, sat on the throne, looking down at the 24 super-strong individuals standing respectfully in two rows below!

If the powerful figures from the Outer Domain Battlefield were to see this, they would surely be shocked and astonished!

King Fushui Zerg, a Peak Feng Wang Expert!

King Black Crow, Demon Race clan member, Peak Feng Wang Soul-type Master!

King Fire Fiend, Demon Race clan member, Peak Feng Wang Expert!

The King Death Spirit, a member of the Mechanical race, is a Peak Feng Wang Soul-type Master!

King Xuan Drum, Zerg faction expert, Peak Feng Wang Expert!

There were 24 super strong individuals, belonging to the three major factions outside the Human Faction in the Outer Domain Battlefield. They were either at the Feng Wang Limit or at the Peak Feng Wang, and were all Soul-type Master with great reputations in the Seventh Starfield Battlefield!

But at this moment, when they looked at the figure on the throne, their eyes were filled with a deep respect, as if they regarded him as the closest being in the world.

The Green Line Devouring Worm looked at its 24 most powerful Soul Servant with a hint of satisfaction in its eyes.

"This trip to the Outer Domain Battlefield."

"The Star Tower hunt lasted for nearly two months. Although only a portion of the treasures were taken, their value still exceeded 3 trillion Hun Yuan Unit. I already possessed many treasures, and now with this enormous wealth, I will naturally never be short of money again."

Money is very important to those who King level Immortal.

However, for the Universe Venerable, it is more about "bartering"! Very few treasures that can be bought with money are useful to them; what they need are almost all rare treasures in the universe.

"If that's the case, then this matter is settled for now," Lin Yan thought to himself. "Next, the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone will stay within this divine realm, cultivating the 'Black Hole Sacred Body' while simultaneously using its consciousness to connect with the Creation Secret Technique Virtual Universe."

Although the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone the same consciousness as Lin Yan, it has its own consciousness carrier and can connect to the Virtual Universe simultaneously without any problem.

He hesitated for a moment.

Boom!

The figure sitting on the throne suddenly stood up, and with a wave of his hand, he took those powerful Soul Servant into his World Ring.

Following closely behind...

Countless black mists suddenly spread from the Green Line Devouring Worm's body, with faint green light flowing through them. After a moment, the endless black mist was drawn into its body.

Beside him appeared an identical Green Line Devouring Worm clone!

"Whoosh!"

With a flick of its hand, the Green Line Devouring Worm produced another crystalline vine, only a few meters tall, which was clearly Plant Lifeform the Mo Yun Vine.

However, the one before them was not the same Initial Feng Hou Mo Yun Vine they had obtained before; the pressure emanating from its divine body had reached the Initial Feng Wang.

"Assisted Plant Lifeform is quite common among Feng Wang expert. Of course, most of them are only cultivated to the Immortal Army Lord Peak or the Initial Feng Hou. But since I have enslaved so many experts, there are naturally some exceptions." Lin Yan thought to himself, "There are three High-class Feng Wang Plant Lifeform and more than ten low -Initial Feng Wang plant life. Some are attack-type, but there are also quite a few that can possess bodies."

"It's a pity I haven't seen anyone with Peak Feng Wang Plant Lifeform that can possess a body, but... for the Green Line Devouring Worm, Initial Feng Wang is enough."

After undergoing Body Amplitude, the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone's base strength exceeded 170,000 times the World Lord peak. Considering the hundredfold bearing limit of the attached Plant Lifeform, it could bear a maximum of over 17 million times the World Lord peak.

The simplest choice... is naturally Initial Feng Wang Plant Lifeform with a base strength exceeding 17,000 times that of a King.

After cultivating the Nine Spirits Secret Technique, one can reach a maximum amplitude of 10 times. After possession, one's strength is equivalent to doubling, approaching 350,000 times. When necessary, one can release the Amplitude Secret Method and directly burning Divine Power to reach the limit of endurance.

Call!

The core of the Mo Yun Vine root system quickly merged into the Green Line Devouring Worm clone, instantly forming a black film on the split's body surface, which adhered to the crystal-clear Black Scale Armor. At the same time, endless Immortal Divine Power spread throughout the Green Line Devouring Worm clone.

Following closely behind...

The Azure Sheep Spirit-Hearing Armor, the Azure Nether Saber, and the Supreme Treasure "Void Wings" were all forced out of the main body and merged into the split body.

"Very good."

"The Green Line Devouring Worm clone cannot launch soul-related attacks, but it is not afraid of soul-related attacks either. As for close combat, as long as the 'self-awareness' is properly controlled, it is no different from the main body."

"During the time the main body is in seclusion to cultivate, the clone can occasionally hunt and fight, or go to various Outer Domain Battlefield to seek important opportunities."

"As the secret technique becomes more and more perfect, the strength of the clones also continues to grow stronger. In this process, even if we encounter a powerful opponent, with the 'Void Wings' and the burning Divine Power, we can easily escape."

Lin Yan said silently.

Whoosh!

The Green Line Devouring Worm clone quickly flew out of the temple, while the temple doors closed. The Green Line Devouring Worm itself began a period of meditation, connecting its consciousness to the Virtual Universe, where it repeatedly experimented with its Combat Secret Technique.

"So they're planning to have the Green Line Devouring Worm Creation Secret Technique based on the Path of the Beast God?" The Mu Xing Country Lord wondered to himself as he provided the Green Line Devouring Worm with opponents to fight.

But she didn't ask.

The process of Creation Secret Technique is also a deeper exploration of the laws, which is ultimately beneficial to cultivation. Her disciple indeed possesses amazing talent, and she felt that Lin Yan was capable enough to judge the gains and losses involved.

While the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone was in seclusion, Lin Yan's main body traveled through the Dark Universe for four months aboard the Emperor Ship before finally arriving at his destination.

Wow!

Ripples spread across the Dark Void, and moments later, a spaceship resembling a ferocious bird appeared out of thin air.

Inside the spacecraft control room.

"Imitation Black Hell Tower".

Lin Yan looked at the Black Golden Pyramid standing in the endless darkness, towering to the horizon, bound by black Iron Chains that exuded desolation.

"Although it cannot be compared with Supreme Treasure like the Star Tower, it is considered the best among ordinary Palace Supreme Treasure. Due to some special functions, its value can even be comparable to some high-level flying Palace Supreme Treasure."

When the Mu Xing Country Lord said those words, Lin Yan didn't really understand what they meant.

However, when he exchanged for treasures last time, he paid special attention to the fact that ordinary flying Palace Supreme Treasure were worth between 18 and 80 Supreme Treasure Points, while high-level flying Palace Supreme Treasure were worth at least 200 Supreme Treasure Points.

Lin Yan was indeed somewhat puzzled by this.

After learning more, I realized that in addition to its offensive, defensive, and sealing capabilities, the "Imitation Black Hell Tower" also has a special function, which is the main reason for building this Starfield Prison.

If a powerful being dies normally, as long as their lifespan is sufficient to bear the cost of time travel and they have not been Soul Enslavement, the Lord of the Universe can pay the corresponding price to resurrect them.

However, the cost of resurrection is extremely high; the stronger the divine body, the more difficult the resurrection.

However... even for a powerful divine body like a top-tier Universe Overlord, the Chaos City Lord and other cosmic lords could not afford the cost of resurrecting him, but the Universe's Strongest, the Great Axe Founder, could.

Aside from the Immortal Divine Body of the strong, if they have refined Supreme Treasure or great treasures, it will increase the difficulty of resurrection. As for Reverse Space-Time to bring back Supreme Treasure... the price paid is higher than ten Supreme Treasure, and almost no one would choose to do so.

The special effect of the "Imitation Black Hell Tower" is that... every prisoner imprisoned inside will be injected with a beam of black light, creating a connection with the Imitation Black Hell Tower, which naturally affects the difficulty of their resurrection!

The impact of the Upper Nine Great Prisons was manageable, but in the Lower Nine Great Prisons, even the lowest level of resurrection difficulty was comparable to that of Universe Venerable!

This also means that if one is imprisoned in the Starfield Prison, not only is the danger extremely high, but the high cost of falling from grace makes resurrection virtually impossible.

"No wonder a place like the 'Starfield Prison' was built." Lin Yan shook his head and smiled. "This is just a replica. The real 'Black Hell Tower' is Palace-type Ultimate Supreme Treasure. I wonder how powerful it is!"

Without further thought, he commanded, "I have already made an application in the Virtual Universe. Go and pay your Venerable Bei Hai first."

"Yes, Master."

The Emperor Ship accelerated again, then transformed into a blurry streak of light, flying towards the vast Palace Cluster floating around the majestic pyramids.

Moment.

Inside a quiet side hall.

"Lin Yan, we meet again so soon." The Venerable Bei Hai, with his eerie black battle armor and pale, gaunt face, looked at Lin Yan.

"You invited me when you left last time. If I was interested, I could apply to come here for training. So, I naturally had to come and bother you," Lin Yan said with a smile.

"At that time, I never expected that you would become Invincible Feng Wang so quickly." Venerable Bei Hai said in a deep voice, "With your current strength, if you were to enter this Starfield Prison again, I'm afraid only the 18th Star Domain Prison could meet your requirements."

He stared at Lin Yan with his Chaos, chaotic eyes, feeling a little alarmed. The last time he saw him, Lin Yan was still World Master, but now he had already made a name for himself Invincible Feng Wang.

Such genius is truly astonishing.

Lin Yan nodded. "I do want to see for myself."

The Eighteen Starfield Prison are legendary, known as the "Eighteen Hells." Even King-level Immortal God would likely not survive if thrown into the Eighteenth Layer.

That was a place that could only be described as a nightmare.

"Hmm." Venerable Bei Hai nodded slightly. "Lin Yan, you only need to remember not to set foot in the depths of the 18th Floor of the Tomb River. As for other places... I'm sure your strength is enough to keep you safe."

Upon hearing this...

A glint of light flashed in Lin Yan's eyes.

His main purpose in coming here was for the "Tomb River Water." Of course, he was well aware of his own situation, but Venerable Bei Hai knew little about it, so there was no need to elaborate further.

When asked about the statement from the Venerable Bei Hai that it was "enough to keep him safe and sound," Lin Yan pondered for a moment. Clearly, in the Venerable Bei Hai's view, there were still powerful individuals in this Imitation Black Hell Tower whose strength surpassed Lin Yan's, or even far surpassed his.

"Refine this item first." Venerable Bei Hai flipped his hand, and a miniature tower-shaped token appeared in his hand, which he handed to Lin Yan.

"Huh?" Lin Yan was taken aback.

"After refining this token, you can freely enter any tower level except for the Tenth Layer where my teacher is located. Just remember to return it when you leave," said Venerable Bei Hai.

"Thank you, Venerable One." Lin Yan examined the token in his hand, then infused it with a wisp of mental energy, imprinting his Spiritual Imprint upon it.

"Then I'll send you into the tower now." The Venerable Bei Hai's voice was deep, and then his Immortal Divine Power enveloped Lin Yan, instantly teleporting him away from the hall.

After entering the Imitation Black Hell Tower, Lin Yan reappeared in that silent space filled with endless black mist.

Call!

Lin Yan stood alone in this endless Black Mist Space, holding the tower-shaped token in his hand, a slight thought stirring in his heart.

Upon entering the tower, he immediately discovered that he could use the token to form a connection with the Imitation Black Hell Tower, easily entering a certain tower level.

"That's amazing."

Lin Yan looked ahead.

Wow!

A passage suddenly appeared within the endless Black Mist Space, and Lin Yan followed this Space Passage, appearing directly in the First Star Domain Prison.

The mountains rise and fall in a continuous range, and volcanoes are scattered across the continent. Occasionally, volcanic eruptions turn the whole world a dark red and fill the air with the pungent smell of sulfur.

Lin Yan hovered in mid-air, looking down at this volcanic world.

"Call!"

He took a deep breath, the hot air penetrating his chest. "No wonder this Starfield Prison is so feared. This First Star Domain Prison is the least dangerous, but the environment is just like the Ice Mountain back then. Even the World Master would probably find it unbearable, as it is like torture at all times."

Immediately, the Immortal Divine Power spread out rapidly.

"This is..." Lin Yan frowned slightly.

A pair of enormous golden wings unfolded behind him, and with a flap of the Solar Gold Wings, they transformed into golden rays and flew into the distance.

In an instant, Lin Yan was suspended in mid-air, looking down at an erupting volcano.

There stood a creature, entirely black, only 1.1 meters tall, somewhat resembling an ape, wielding a large black Great Hammer, killing a human World Master.

Lin Yan did know something about this short, stocky gorilla that was entirely black.

This is the Black Hell Beast from the Starfield Prison. It is a special existence that originated from the Imitation Black Hell Tower and is somewhat similar to the Illusion Beast in the Desperate Level Mission "Demon Mountain". It has extremely low intelligence and, strictly speaking, cannot be considered a life.

Their purpose is to kill prisoners held in jail.

The strength of the Black Hell Beast varies on each level. For example, on the first level, the strongest is only World Lord ninth stage.

Lin Yan's gaze narrowed slightly as he watched the corpse of the human World Master emit a faint black light, instantly turning into skeletons, and faintly emitting a chilling, mournful howl.

Suddenly--

The skeleton seemed to have been swallowed up by space, disappearing without a trace.

"That scene just now should be the key that affects the difficulty of resurrection, as rumored," Lin Yan said thoughtfully. "It just looks quite similar to the 'Tomb River' that I learned about in the previous information. No wonder 'Tomb River Water' can be generated in this Imitation Black Hell Tower."

With a swift movement, another passage suddenly appeared in front of him. Lin Yan entered and was teleported into the Black Mist Space, then directly entered the 18th Floor of the Starfield Prison.

Whoosh!

The pale moonlight shone on Lin Yan's golden armor.

Rustle...

A deep, dark night wind blew by.

The wind was very slight, but Lin Yan could clearly sense that if it were blowing on an ordinary Immortal God, it would be enough to Annihilation all divine bodies.

He looked down.

There, a desolate black river flows gently, carrying countless skeletons, and various eerie sounds echo from time to time in the sea of bones.

"Interesting."

Lin Yan's eyes were as deep as the sea, and then his body plunged directly into the endless black river.
