Sweep Through an Era (Please Keep Reading)

The cultivation process went fairly smoothly. Zhou Lin carefully analyzed the Divine Runes and began altering his own structure.

With the help of the Void Realm, he dispersed his body into particles.

Then, by visualizing the Divine Runes, he could penetrate into the deepest reaches.

Zhou Lin felt his body undergoing a transformation—a complete rebirth—and no one could detect the process.

Not even the high and mighty Universe Masters.

Even if they reversed the flow of time and space, they could only see Zhou Lin's body suddenly vanish into thin air. After all, the Void Realm and the real world were vastly different.

However, it was easy for the Universe Masters to attack the Void Realm. It was effortless for their laws to penetrate it.

Boom!

Zhou Lin felt his physical body rumbling. The transformation of every micro-particle made his skin and hair extraordinarily tough.

The same applied to his internal organs. The energy within Zhou Lin's body was already composed of droplets of Great Chaos True Power, and now he was cultivating the Myriad Tribulation Primordial Body as well.

If he cultivated both secret arts to their highest level, his strength would become unimaginably powerful. By then, every cell in his body would be like several Black Holes.

"So strong. It's truly too strong." Zhou Lin was astonished. After cultivating this secret art, he felt as though he had undergone a complete rebirth. With a casual pinch, he could kill his former self.

A single strand of his hair was harder than many D-Class metals.

His bones were even comparable to E-Class metals. That was an incredibly terrifying concept—they could withstand the aftershock of a King Immortal's attack without killing him.

A full month passed.

"I'm omnipotent. I really feel omnipotent." Zhou Lin was certain that he had already surpassed those Domain Lords in terms of their life levels.

Even most of the high and mighty gods were physically inferior to him.

With a casual squeeze, he could kill a Realm Lord.

"Dragon Abyss has also been a tremendous help to me." Zhou Lin's source of combat techniques was the method Palace Master Tianshi had given him back then.

Dragon Abyss had been personally created by Lord of Dragon Walk and was divided into nine forms.

Strictly speaking, the Realm God Secret Art and Dragon Abyss belonged to the same level of technique. The only difference was that their entry requirements differed.

The greater significance of the Realm God Secret Art lay in its enhancement of combat power.

Dragon Abyss, on the other hand, manifested itself through technique and laws.

The Two Realms System and the other system could not really be judged as stronger or weaker, but it was clear that, in the early stages, the Realm God Secret Art was definitely more useful.

"I've been cultivating for so long that I completely forgot to check my messages." Zhou Lin nearly forgot about his chain mission. He was still at the third stage.

The first stage tested his temperament and strength.

The second stage tested Zhou Lin's wisdom and judgment.

He entered the Virtual Universe and arrived at the Primal Secret Realm's Rain Primeval Area.

Zhou Lin opened the message and checked it. The third-stage mission had been sent over more than twenty days ago.

"What does this mission mean?" Zhou Lin stared at it in confusion.

It clearly stated: "On the frontier of the Luojin Universe Nation lives a subsidiary race known as the Tiwala Tribe. The Giant Axe Fighting Arena once had a prince defeated there. Since then, the tribe's geniuses have claimed that they are no weaker than us humans."

"Mission requirement: Make the Walas Tribe understand the gap, and teach them that there is always someone better, and that there is always a higher sky beyond the sky."

This mission was practically tailor-made for him.

However, he was somewhat conflicted. If he revealed as much of his strength as possible, he would certainly shock the upper echelons of the Virtual Universe Company.

Fortunately, the mission allowed plenty of time—fifty years in total—so Zhou Lin could delay his departure.

"Should I stay low-key, or defy the heavens?" Zhou Lin knew exactly how powerful he was. He could kill a Realm Lord with a casual pinch, and he could now directly challenge Immortals despite being a Realm Lord.

There had been many Realm Lords throughout the countless Epochs of the Primordial Universe who had challenged Immortals.

But for a Domain Lord to challenge an Immortal, their comprehension of the laws first had to be sufficient to pass the Primal Tongtian Mountain. They also needed a powerful source of strength.

The requirements for the Domain Lord level of Primal Tongtian Mountain were roughly equivalent to the sixteenth level of Tongtian Bridge. If one's willpower was exceptionally strong, perhaps even the fifteenth level would suffice.

Those who had passed the Domain Lord level of Primal Tongtian Mountain had been extraordinarily rare throughout history.

Zhou Lin pondered for a long time. He connected his consciousness to the Virtual Universe and went to the plane where Palace Master Tianshi resided.

"Teacher." Zhou Lin's authority allowed him to enter the highest level of Tianshi Palace directly. He stood respectfully outside the hall, waiting for Palace Master Tianshi's reply.

Zhou Lin respected Palace Master Tianshi from the bottom of his heart.

"Did you come to find me because of the mission? Or perhaps because of your encounters and strength?"

Palace Master Tianshi's figure appeared. His voice remained as warm and reassuring as ever, and Zhou Lin relaxed unconsciously.

"Disciple is somewhat uneasy." Zhou Lin deliberated for a long time before slowly uttering those words.

"There's no need to be uneasy." Palace Master Tianshi turned around and said with utmost solemnity, "I know you must have had a great opportunity. It may even involve a Great Being from an Alien race. But you needn't worry, because you are my disciple."

Just those words—because you are my disciple—were domineering beyond compare.

How powerful was Palace Master Tianshi? How could he not know that Zhou Lin had encountered a great opportunity? Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to reach this point.

At the Cosmic level, Zhou Lin had passed the Primal Tongtian Mountain, and his comprehension of the laws was at the twelfth level of Tongtian Bridge. Yet when he had accepted Zhou Lin as a disciple, Palace Master Tianshi had been certain that Zhou Lin did not possess twelfth-level comprehension.

Even now, Zhou Lin's comprehension of the laws was only, as Aido had said, barely at the thirteenth level of Tongtian Bridge.

Palace Master Tianshi smiled and said, "The universe is vast and boundless. Everyone has their own secrets. Even your teacher, or the other Universe Masters, who among us could have reached this point without encountering some opportunity?"

Take Luo Feng's possession of the Golden Horned Beast, for example. In the eyes of the City Master of Chaos, that was merely a moderately good opportunity.

Kedi had also encountered his own opportunity.

There were also Universe Venerables who had received inheritances from solitary powerhouses during their growth. Could their races really be unaware of such things?

The relationship between the Flame God Clan and Zuo Shan Ke was no secret either.

"I understand, Teacher." Zhou Lin respectfully bowed. With Palace Master Tianshi's words, he dared to unleash as much of his strength as possible.

Palace Master Tianshi swept out his sleeve and said with incomparable dominance, "With your current strength, you can probably challenge the Domain Lord level of Primal Tongtian Mountain. Don't just deal with Domain Lords—even if any Realm Lords refuse to accept defeat, take them all on at once."

What did it matter if Zhou Lin's revealed strength was exaggerated?

Perhaps he had possessed some Special Lifeform, or encountered solitary supreme powerhouses such as the Void True Demon God or Zuo Shan Ke and obtained their inheritance.

As long as he remained human and was still his disciple, Palace Master Tianshi would not allow anyone to dare harbor designs on Zhou Lin.

Yuan Ancestor had taken in even more monstrous disciples. The Dark Lord had likewise been able to fight Immortals during the Domain Lord stage. Who would dare pry into his secrets?

After leaving the Virtual Universe, Zhou Lin seriously examined the mission materials. Since his teacher had said he would back him up, he would unleash his full strength.

What did it matter if he dealt with a group of Domain Lords?

He intended to sweep through an entire era, suppressing every genius of the Tiwala Tribe. Whoever refused to submit would be beaten until they did!

"The strongest geniuses are only comparable to the fifteenth level of Tongtian Bridge."

Zhou Lin curled his lips. That did not even meet the requirements for the Domain Lord level of Primal Tongtian Mountain, yet it was supposedly the strongest Realm Lord genius in the tribe.

An ordinary Realm Lord from the Primal Secret Realm generally had law comprehension comparable to that of a Marquis Immortal, while those near the top of the rankings were close to the level of a King Immortal.

The most powerful could reach the eighteenth level.
