Su Heng's memories returned to that year when he was still a Domain Lord. At the time, he had merely been one member of the Primal Chaos Secret Realm.
Under the Virtual Universe Company's rules, Domain Lord-level core members had to be assigned to positions in a universe kingdom.
Su Heng was naturally no exception. However, rather than returning to his home, the Noah Universe Kingdom, he went to the ancient Senluo Universe Kingdom.
During his time in the Senluo Universe Kingdom, he encountered many opportunities. The greatest of them was becoming the disciple of a Universe Overlord!
Mother Ancestor was an ancient human existence, a Universe Overlord, and the strongest practitioner among those who cultivated the Mother Ancestor Chaos Tablet, one of the fifty-two Chaos Tablets!
It was worth mentioning that, during his time in Chaos City, Su Heng had chosen the Mother Ancestor Chaos Tablet. It was a Chaos Tablet combining the Law of Wood and the Law of Space.
Becoming Mother Ancestor's disciple had been both accidental and inevitable.
When Su Heng first arrived in this world, he had already considered many paths to reaching the pinnacle.
And fused laws were the path he had ultimately chosen.
The Wood-Space fused law! It was a supreme path that could lead to becoming a Universe Lord.
Relying on his foreknowledge and understanding of the plot, Su Heng had finally comprehended the faintest rudiment of a fused law within several tens of thousands of years.
It was precisely this rudiment that had allowed Mother Ancestor to see Su Heng's potential. She accepted him as her disciple and spared no expense to obtain a clone secret technique for him.
Although it could only create one clone, it was still immensely precious!
Unfortunately, he had ultimately disappointed Mother Ancestor's high expectations.
"But now, I have an infinite future ahead of me!" Su Heng chuckled, then released his clone from his Inner World.
It was a body over thirty meters tall, covered entirely in silver scales, with four irregular and savage horns growing from its head.
This was a Special Lifeform of the universe known as the Four-Silver Clan. It was favored by the Law of Space, though it excelled most at Space Lockdown and strangulation.
Its innate secret technique was Spatial Annihilation. Simply put, it controlled spatial power to inflict massive strangling damage upon enemies.
Moreover, as its comprehension of the laws increased, the damage of its innate secret technique would steadily rise as well.
"There's even a Four-Silver Clan clone? Fortunately, it isn't a Special Lifeform with teleportation abilities." Hundred Ape Marquis breathed a sigh of relief. If it had possessed a teleportation-type innate secret technique, this operation of his would have failed completely.
"Hong Tian!" Hundred Ape Marquis launched the first attack. With a flash of his body, he crossed a distance of three hundred thousand kilometers almost instantly.
The long staff in his hand, carrying the Law of Earth, smashed into the void. The heavy Law Divine Power directly shattered the surrounding cosmic space. Before Hundred Ape Marquis, who was now comparable to a king-level existence, cosmic space was simply too fragile.
Countless spatial fragments, along with an enormous staff phantom, appeared before Su Heng.
"Spatial Annihilation, Wanwu Jiemie!"
Su Heng and his clone made their decision immediately.
The Four-Silver Clan clone first clenched both hands at the staff phantom through empty space. Instantly, the spatial fragments sweeping toward them transformed into bursts of fireworks and exploded where they were.
The damage from those explosions gradually wore away at the law-formed staff phantom. Though the damage from each burst was negligible, space was nearly infinite!
Yet even such nearly endless attacks failed to slow the staff phantom in the slightest.
"Barely king-level?!" The moment the Four-Silver Clan clone attacked, Hundred Ape Marquis quickly judged its strength.
"But that's all. If he had gone all out before I burned my divine power, perhaps I truly wouldn't have been his match."
Hundred Ape Marquis thought silently. He now possessed seventy thousand times the power of a World Master. How could a Marquis-level fighter and someone barely king-level possibly stop him?
Boom!
An earth-shattering impact rang out through the void.
"How is that possible?!" Hundred Ape Marquis cried out in shock as he sensed the center of the attack.
There floated a grass-like plant resembling aquatic weeds. Its entire body was golden and luxuriant, with a full three hundred vines.
At the center, wrapped in those vines, Su Heng and the Four-Silver Clan clone slowly emerged.
At that moment, Su Heng was grinning at Hundred Ape Marquis!
"Bloom, Star-Eating!"
As soon as the words fell, the golden Star-Eating Grass shot outward in every direction at a frenzied pace, like a sapling growing into a towering giant.
Every vine of the Star-Eating Grass rapidly thickened and lengthened. Countless incomparably sharp grass-blade edges resembled saw teeth. In almost an instant, it became a true existence comparable to a gigantic celestial body.
Each main vine extended hundreds of thousands of kilometers, and countless blades grew from them, made for binding, strangling, and devouring.
Three hundred main vines... the entire immortal Star-Eating Grass was no smaller than a massive star!
The three-hundred-vine Star-Eating Grass itself was comparable to a peak Marquis-level immortal, and it was now fully burning its immortal divine power. Its immense aura made Hundred Ape Marquis tremble slightly under the pressure!
Most fatal of all, he was currently at the very center of the Star-Eating Grass's bloom. In other words, he had already been surrounded by three hundred vines!
"Run!" With a thought, Hundred Ape Marquis rapidly fled toward the outer perimeter. Even as the Star-Eating Grass controlled its vines to block him,
they were all smashed apart by the long staff in his hand.
The gap between a peak Marquis-level immortal burning divine power and him burning divine power was not that great. Even forced annihilation could not destroy his undying body!
In the distance, Su Heng frowned slightly when he saw this.
After burning its divine power, the Star-Eating Grass possessed roughly one hundred thousand times the power of a World Master, approximately equal to a peak king-level fighter.
But Hundred Ape Marquis was not weak either. With seventy thousand times the power of a World Master after burning divine power, even if he was inferior to Star-Eating, he would have little trouble preserving his life.
Could he only let him escape? Su Heng thought unwillingly.
If either his own strength or his clone's strength had accumulated for several thousand more years, then even without relying on the Star-Eating Grass, he would have had some confidence in keeping the enemy here.
But as things stood now...
"Forget it. Since I can't annihilate him, I should at least deplete as much of his divine body as possible."
Rational thought quickly allowed Su Heng to make his judgment.
The Four-Silver Clone began helping the Star-Eating Grass attack Hundred Ape Marquis. Even if they could not annihilate his divine body, he was already burning divine power.
As long as they delayed him for even one second, he would burn through a considerable amount of divine power!
And so, only after a full minute did Hundred Ape Marquis's figure vanish from this stretch of void.
According to Su Heng's judgment, in merely these two minutes of battle, the enemy had already burned more than 20% of his divine power. His strength had likely fallen to the elementary Marquis-level.
To fully recover, he would need at least ten thousand years.
This result left Su Heng somewhat satisfied. Ten thousand years was enough for his strength to undergo a tremendous transformation!
