Lin Yan and Luo Feng
"Black Hole Sacred Body" is a special Body Refinement technique.
During his time World Master, Lin Yan cultivated the "Black Hole Sacred Body" to the third level, and his physical strength was close to that of Invincible Feng Wang Immortal Divine Body, which speaks volumes.
The difference is immeasurable.
However, once Lin Yan breaks through to the Universe Venerable, his body absorbs divine power and transforms into a Venerable Divine Body. The influence of the third level of the "Black Hole Sacred Body" on him will be negligible, and he will need to continue his cultivation.
In the ten years before the Original Star opened, apart from occasionally going to the Ancestor God Cult to receive inheritance, he spent almost all his time cultivating the Black Hole Sacred Body.
The Fourth Layer requires certain conditions, which he can easily enter with his strength and master quickly.
The first four levels are only considered the foundation. The fifth level restricts cultivation to beings with Perfect Gene. Reaching this stage is a qualitative change. The resulting Black Hole cell have an extremely strong gravitational pull comparable to a real Black Hole, capable of devouring Black Hole Celestial in the Primordial Universe to replenish themselves.
Black Hole Celestial are ubiquitous in the universe, but their power is boundless. Even the lowest-level Black Hole requires the strength of Universe Venerable to stand at its Black Hole Core.
Over the past ten years, Lin Yan has devoured more than 600,000 Black Hole Celestial to cultivate the fifth level. This directly caused Lin Yan's divine body strength to soar, falling between Top-tier Supreme Treasure and Ordinary Supreme Treasure!
According to his judgment, this is because he is Universe Venerable, so he is much weaker. Once he enters the Universe Lord realm, his divine body will be comparable to a true Ordinary Supreme Treasure!
Ordinary Supreme Treasure are beneath the notice of universe masters, because the highest limit of their Supreme Treasure offers almost no enhancement to their strength. In fact, some powerful universe masters can directly tear apart and destroy Ordinary Supreme Treasure.
However, the strength of a divine body is comparable to that of Ordinary Supreme Treasure, which is a completely different concept.
Firstly, the divine body can recover; even if it cannot withstand an attack, only some of its divine power will be Annihilation. Secondly, the divine body is protected by the Supreme Treasure Armor; even if it is an attack from an extremely powerful being, the weakened power will have a relatively limited impact.
The Peak Supreme Treasure Armor already had an extremely high tolerance limit. Even after being weakened to one ten-thousandth, there were still powerful individuals who could injure Lin Yan. However, this obviously did not include the three Third-Order Universe Masters.
"The future is bright." Lin Yan smiled. "Once I break through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, there will be very few who can threaten me. And this is only the fifth level... I really don't know how terrifying it will be when I cultivate to the ninth level."
"However, that's too far off, and you need to take the Divine Power route to have a chance of achieving anything."
Under the limitations of the Primordial Universe, any information above the limit of true gods would be obscured, but the "Black Hole Sacred Body" could see it completely because it is a secret technique within the level of true gods, and even the lord of the universe could possibly fully cultivate it. It is a complementary ultimate skill of the Divine Power route.
But that requires surpassing the Perfect Gene Level. Lin Yan does have such ambitions, but that is clearly not something he can consider right now.
The Sword River Luo is the most dazzling Supreme Treasure since the beginning of the Original Star. Several universe lords participated in the competition, and its final ownership has attracted the attention of major forces in the universe.
Even some cosmic lords were traveling around this Original Star to check on Sword River Luo's situation, and then a message arrived—
Despite facing the full-force attacks of three peak universe lords, the "Lord of All Things" of the Hong Alliance was completely unharmed, with his aura barely changing. His Supreme Treasure, "Sword River Luo," was recognized as his Lord of All Things Lord Zhen Yan, Lord Hu, Hu, Lord Xuan Mie voluntarily gave up and left.
"Impossible!"
"How can it be so powerful?"
"Three peak universe lords joined forces to attack? Unless they were hiding in the Supreme Treasure Palace, how could they be completely unharmed with just their Supreme Treasure Armor? What, they even grew to hundreds of millions of kilometers in size, and they could withstand the ultimate attack of three universe lords with just their divine bodies?"
This news immediately shocked these universe masters. They couldn't believe that such a thing could happen. This was a battle between universe masters. How could this happen?
The "Lord of All Things," the top-tier Universe Overlord of the Hong Alliance who had not appeared for countless years, had just re-entered the vision of Myriad Races in the universe as the Lord of the Universe, and made them feel a sense of powerlessness.
"I never expected that the Lord of All Things would become so strong after breaking through to the Lord of the Universe."
"In the end, the Sword River Luo has fallen into the hands of the human race. However, to complete the set, eight more divine swords are needed. If we can obtain these Sword River Luo components, they will be an important bargaining chip in negotiations with the human race."
In the distant Northern Frontier Alliance, a magnificent Palace Cluster stretching hundreds of millions of kilometers, burning with endless Black Flames, is home to numerous immortal servants and even many Universe Venerable. Whenever they see the main hall at the very center, they all wear respectful expressions.
At the outermost edge of that palace... endless starlight permeated the area, its rays stretching for light-years.
Inside the main hall.
A figure, like Black Hole, sat on the throne. Any light that approached the figure on the throne would be swallowed up, leaving only a vaguely visible vast Dark Void on the throne.
"Star River Master." The four-armed lightning giant bowed slightly in respect.
The Star River Master is an existence with an extremely high status in the vast universe, whose prestige is no less than that of the Chaos City Lord! In the Northern Frontier Alliance, he is similar to the Chaos City Lord, handling many affairs and is well loved by many super strong people in the Northern Frontier Alliance.
Because of his unique life, he Star River Master extreme awe from all forces in the universe.
"Zhen Yan, you said that the Lord of All Things of the Hong Alliance has now broken through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, and that he easily resisted the joint attack of the three of you peak Lords of the Universe and seized Sword River Luo?" The Dark Void on the throne spoke.
"Yes," said the Lord Zhen Yan. "When I fought the Lord of All Things, I could sense that his mastery of secret techniques was quite ordinary. He had obviously only been a short time since breaking through to the level of the Lord of the Universe and had not yet created the Ultimate Secret Technique of the Lord of the Universe. However, his Material Defense ability was simply heaven-defying!"
"At that time, we all launched our attacks by burning Divine Power. My strength was similar to that of the Lord Hu of the Thorn Ring Alliance. The Lord Xuan Mie of the Golden Horned Beast Clan was weaker than us, but he possessed Top-tier Domain Supreme Treasure. His attacks were comparable to those of Peak Supreme Treasure. To be honest, he was slightly stronger than us..."
"As a result, the Lord of All Things did not parry at all. His divine body grew to be hundreds of millions of kilometers tall and directly withstood our attack. His aura did not change at all, so he obviously did not suffer any loss of divine power," said the Lord Zhen Yan.
"Strange," the Dark Void murmured. "In terms of defense, it is limited to the Supreme Treasure Armor and the Divine Body. The human race does not have the Ultimate Supreme Treasure. Even if they did, it would be impossible for it to appear on a Special Lifeform that has just broken through to the Universe Lord level. If it is only Peak Supreme Treasure Armor, it can definitely seriously injure him."
"But he was completely unharmed... Even if a top-tier universe lord fought desperately, he probably wouldn't be able to injure him. With his enormous divine body spanning over 90,000 kilometers, even if I personally took action, I might not be able to do anything to this Lord of All Things."
Upon hearing these words from the Star River Master, the Lord Zhen Yan, though somewhat prepared, was still shocked.
This is the Star River Master! He created the Integrated Strongest Secret Technique, a top-tier existence among the cosmic lords who truly shakes the universe!
Even he felt that he might not be able to do anything about it. So, looking at the Primordial Universe, wouldn't only the Universe's Strongest be able to truly threaten this Lord of All Things?
Although the Lord Zhen Yan was well aware that this Lord of All Things was much weaker than himself, this ability alone was enough for him to roam the universe freely.
"But... why does this Lord of All Things possess such heaven-defying defensive capabilities?" the Lord Zhen Yan wondered.
"The Lord of All Things is a unique and Special Lifeform in the universe, so it's not surprising that he has this ability," said the Star River Master. "Do you remember 'Yin Tuo' from the First Reincarnation Era?"
"That makes sense."
Upon hearing the Star River Master mention "Yin Tuo," the Lord Zhen Yan immediately felt relieved.
Yin Tuo was a powerful figure from the Ancestor God Cult in the previous Reincarnation Era. He was a Special Lifeform in that Reincarnation Era, extremely skilled in close combat and also adept at using telekinetic weapons. In terms of strength, he should be at the top level among the Lords of the Universe, comparable to the Lord of Ice Peak and the Void Gold Master.
Its divine body isn't large, but it has a special feature... any material impact can be directly weakened by one ten-thousandth when it passes through its divine body! If it is further weakened by one ten-thousandth with the Supreme Treasure Armor, it is equivalent to weakening by one hundred millionth.
How terrifying!
Therefore, it is known as the Undying Yin Tuo!
The situation of the Lord of All Things is somewhat similar to that of "Yin Tuo," except that its strength is not as good as the latter, and it has experienced fewer battles. Just how heaven-defying its Material Defense is remains to be tested.
"Pass on the information about the Lord of All Things to the powerful figures in other alliances." A voice echoed from the Dark Void above the hall.
"Such heaven-defying life-saving abilities are best avoided if possible. Perhaps their strength is still weak now, and they are no match for some of the universe lords of our Northern Frontier Alliance, but they can still take revenge on your disciples and your clansmen. At that time, even our Northern Frontier Alliance will have a hard time dealing with such trouble."
"Yes." The Lord Zhen Yan nodded.
Those with strong survival abilities are not to be trifled with; they are even more difficult to deal with than some top-tier universe rulers. One can imagine how much trouble it would be to provoke such a formidable enemy who can be described as "immortal."
The news spread extremely quickly, and all the major powers attached great importance to this Lord of All Things. That's how it is in the universe; strength determines destiny.
The Supreme Treasure "Sword River Luo" has been acquired by the human race, and it's a done deal. However, there is still a great deal of interest in the other parts of the Sword River Luo.
Virtual Universe, Thunder Island, the palace of the Chaos City Lord.
"I forgot that Junior Brother Lin Yan has Perfect Gene, enough to cultivate the Black Hole Sacred Body to the fifth level. However, the effect of the fifth level is too incredible."
Upon receiving the message, the figure in the golden robe smiled, but then realized that it would be very difficult to collect Supreme Treasure.
"The Sword River Luo is Top-tier Domain Supreme Treasure, extremely powerful in attack, even slightly superior to my Thousand Treasures River. If we could gather them all, it would greatly enhance my junior brother's strength," the Chaos City Lord thought to himself.
"There are 10,081 Original Star in total. These eight divine swords could appear on any of Original Star. It would be extremely difficult to collect them all. If other major powers obtain the River of Destiny Divine Sword, they will definitely take the opportunity to blackmail our Human Alliance. We must try our best to take back the divine swords. Every one we take back will greatly increase the power of the Sword River Luo."
He issued an order within the Hong Alliance, instructing Hong Alliance powerful members to pay close attention to this matter while venturing across the various Original Star. Whether they obtained valuable items to offer to their clans or promptly relayed messages, they would receive corresponding contributions.
"However, Junior Brother Lin Yan has Green Line Devouring Worm Clone. If things are arranged properly and he has good luck, it shouldn't be difficult for him to reclaim more than half of the divine swords." The Chaos City Lord smiled.
Meanwhile, Lin Yan left the Original Star and returned to his divine kingdom.
Splash splash splash...
Flames flickered in Lin Yan's eyes, and his divine power instantly ignited, directly driving the black compass pattern on his chest. Boom... Centered on him, an endless illusory river of swords appeared in a radius of 100 million kilometers, as if fish were swimming around.
"Although it's just a single compass, it already possesses considerable power." Lin Yan looked around, a look of delight on his face. With a flick of his wrist, a divine sword appeared in his left hand, and the black compass appeared in his right.
"Merge!"
Lin Yan's heart stirred.
Instantly, the black divine sword merged into the compass, and the ancient patterns on the compass seemed to come alive.
"Law Domain!"
"Black Hole Force Field!"
"Sword River Luo!"
A series of thoughts flashed through Lin Yan's mind, and he immediately activated the Supreme Treasure Domain again.
Boom!
Countless rivers of swords swirled in the void, instantly forming a massive, distorted vortex.
After fusing with a divine sword and superimposing Space Domain and Black Hole Force Field, the range of this Domain Supreme Treasure now expands to a radius of one billion kilometers, and its power has greatly increased, making it comparable to High-class Domain Supreme Treasure, and only slightly weaker than the Golden Sand Realm.
"Haha, what a treasure!" Lin Yan was very fond of this Domain Supreme Treasure. Compared to the two Domain-type treasures, "Azure Star River" and "Golden Sand Realm," this Sword River Luo was more suitable for him.
In an instant, many methods for using "bloody battles", "mass attacks", and "escape" came to mind.
"It's best not to use it until we have all the pieces." Lin Yan put it away and thought to himself, "Next, there are the remaining parts of the Sword River Luo and that Top-tier Supreme Treasure, the 'Sky Liu Sail.' As long as I can get there in time, there shouldn't be any unexpected problems."
The eight Original Star of the River of Destiny Divine Sword have a small range of Ordinary Supreme Treasure aura and a short time of existence, so Lin Yan arranged several Green Line Devouring Worm clone in different locations. As for the Sky Liu Sail... it will definitely attract the Lord of the Universe, so the main body will personally take action.
"Once this matter is completed, the remaining treasures of the Original Star will be left to fate. I can focus on my cultivation in peace." A glint of light flashed in Lin Yan's eyes. "My current strength is not enough, but I will eventually make those Universe's Strongest understand that even they will no longer be able to threaten me!"
Time passed.
In the Virtual Universe, on the seemingly endless mountainside of Thunder Island, six figures sat in front of the Palace Cluster of True Yan Venerable, drinking and chatting.
"It is said that a magnificent temple suddenly rose on the vast plains of one of the Original Star. In front of the temple was an ancient stone tablet, on which detailed information about a Top-tier Supreme Treasure was recorded. With this Supreme Treasure, one could teleport away from enemies and easily shatter layers of space in battle... It was definitely a first-class Supreme Treasure for escaping and attacking. This Supreme Treasure was called 'Sky Liu Sail'."
A burly man with triangular hair was drinking heavily from a strange wine jug, while clicking his tongue in amazement, "Instantly, four Universe Lords, eighteen Universe Overlord, and hundreds of Universe Venerable rushed into this temple. The temple was quickly closed, and six years later, it reopened... Only half of them survived, making it another large-scale bloodbath since the opening of the Original Star."
"Really? Niu Zhou, don't exaggerate like last time and fool me. When I asked around, it turned out to be a story from the time the Original Star opened up." A werewolf venerable covered in blue fur teased.
"Yeah, how come we didn't know about something this big?"
"It seems Niu Zhou's old problem has relapsed." The other four Universe Venerable, including Zhen Yan, said with a smile.
"Bullshit!" Venerable Niu Zhou's eyes widened instantly. "The Sky Liu Sail I just mentioned is the Top-tier Supreme Treasure that just appeared in the world after the opening of the Original Star! I have countless friends, so I'm naturally well-informed. You still say I'm bragging? Guess which universe lord has fallen into the hands of the Sky Liu Sail this time?"
Who is it?
"Could it be the Northern Frontier Alliance again? I remember the stories you told me about the Treasure Appears last time and the time before that, and they were all taken by the Universe Lord of the Northern Frontier Alliance."
Seeing his appearance, the other Universe Venerable immediately believed him to some extent and couldn't help but become curious about the ownership of this Top-tier Supreme Treasure, "Sky Liu Sail".
"Haha." Venerable Niu Zhou finished the wine in the wine pot with a smug look before speaking, "The Northern Frontier Alliance does indeed have many Universe Lords. Among these four Universe Lords is the Lord Zhu An of the Northern Frontier Alliance."
"But you might not believe it, but this Sky Liu Sail was actually obtained by the Hong Alliance, and it was our Lord of All Things acquired it! It's a pity that there weren't many powerful members of the Hong Alliance in that area at the time, otherwise, if they had followed the Lord of All Things in, they might have been able to enjoy rare and precious Supreme Treasure!"
"What?"
"The Lord of All Things again? I remember you said that the 'Sword River Luo' was obtained by the Lord of All Things, and now you've obtained another Top-tier Supreme Treasure?"
"When Sword River Luo was born, those who were fortunate enough to follow the Lord of All Things into the Sword Tomb made a fortune, at least several treasures. Among them, Blood Flag Venerable was only High-grade Venerable, but he was lucky enough to obtain an Ordinary Supreme Treasure divine sword. He thought it would definitely be taken away, so he might as well offer it up. As a result, the Lord of All Things directly bestowed it upon him."
"I've heard about this too. Since then, the Blood Flag Venerable has held this Lord of the Universe in even higher esteem!"
These Universe Venerable spoke with nothing but envy.
Many of them were no less powerful than the Blood Flag Venerable, but after the Blood Flag Venerable obtained the Supreme Treasure sword, his strength became unmatched by them.
This story spread throughout Hong Alliance City and has been a popular tale ever since.
"I originally thought that with the opening of the Original Star this time, the Lord Xuanyuan would surely soar to the sky, but I didn't expect that the Lord of All Things would become famous throughout the universe. We haven't heard any news about the Lord Xuanyuan in recent years, so he must be in seclusion."
"After all, the Lord Xuanyuan is only Universe Venerable. The specific situation is beyond our ability to fathom."
"Sigh, I understand. I just really look forward to hearing about this legendary figure leaving his own story on the Original Star. I've been paying attention to him since he was at the Cosmic level."
They suddenly started talking about Lin Yan.
At this moment—
"Hey, look!"
"Isn't that Luo Feng, the King of the Knife River?"
"Zhen Yan, I heard that your disciple was hunted down by countless Alien Race powerhouses in the Yan God Clan Territory more than a hundred years ago, but he came out unharmed. Your disciple's methods are even stronger than yours."
These Universe Venerable saw a figure flying from afar, and it was none other than Luo Feng.
"Of course he's better than me."
Zhen Yan revealed a proud smile, "Even if his future is not as dazzling as that of the Lord Xuanyuan, he will certainly be a pillar of our human race and a powerful figure. How could he not be more powerful than me?"
