This was undoubtedly monumental news!

In the worldview of Swallowed Star, what does it mean to possess a clone? It means having multiple lives, a multiplication of cultivation speed, and, more importantly, invincible combat power among one's peers!

One original body, three major clones.

Imagine encountering a powerful enemy in the universe later on; while the opponent is still clamoring for a one-on-one duel, one simply waves a hand, and oneself along with three clones proceed to deliver a righteous group beating!

Various laws bombarding the enemy—just thinking about it is exhilarating!

"As I am about to step into that chaotic and cruel cosmic jungle, this secret technique is indeed the foundation for my survival."

Lin Yuan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the excitement in his heart.

He rubbed his hands together, his gaze burning as he looked at the blood of the Void Behemoth held in his palm.

With the clone secret technique, one naturally requires the highest-grade vessel. In the original work, Luo Feng seized the Golden Horned Beast to defy his fate, but now, Lin Yuan had a better choice.

"System, pull up the detailed information on the 'Void Behemoth'."

As Lin Yuan's thoughts stirred, information surged forth like a tidal wave!

[Void Behemoth] [Introduction 1: One of the twelve peak bloodlines of the Starry Sky Behemoths, yet nearly extinct. It is the darling of the primitive universe, innately possessing the four great laws of Light, Time, Space, and Devouring.] [Introduction 2: The most tyrannical existence among the Starry Sky Behemoth bloodlines. Unlike the Golden Horned, Flame Star, or Iceberg Behemoths which possess a lineage, it is solitary, wandering through the void.] [Physical Description: It is a Void Black Dragon whose scales appear to be crafted from obsidian. Its eyes are most unique; the left eye is like a golden flame, governing Light and Time, while the right eye is a deep, boundless black hole, governing Devouring and Space!] [Innate Secret Technique 1: Void Walk! Ignore obstacles, traverse the void, ignore all attacks while within the void, and travel rapidly across the universe.] [Innate Secret Technique 2: Candlelight! The left eye opens, bringing forth a destructive beam containing the Law of Time; the flow of time changes, while simultaneously burning with high heat.] [Innate Secret Technique 3: Eternal Night Domain! The right eye opens, plunging the world into darkness and sinking, stripping away the five senses, while the original body gains a massive boost, dominating all things.] [Commentary: To look is day, to close is night.]

Quiet.

A deathly silence.

Lin Yuan sat on the sofa, remaining motionless for a long time.

He guaranteed that this was absolutely the most serious and careful he had ever read a piece of text since he transmigrated. Every word, every punctuation mark, he chewed and digested repeatedly.

After a long while, he slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and two words naturally surfaced in his mind:

Perfect.

That's right, perfect!

From every metric, Lin Yuan believed the Void Behemoth was the perfect choice for his first clone.

This was far superior to the "gold-devouring beast" that was the Golden Horned Beast; one could even call it a bug-level existence.

"As expected, the twelve peak bloodlines of the Starry Sky Behemoths are all heaven-gifted monsters."

Lin Yuan couldn't help but mutter to himself, his eyes flashing with excitement. "It seems that although they are all peak bloodlines, the focus of their innate secret techniques varies greatly."

He quickly compared it in his mind to the Golden Horned Beast from the original work.

The three major innate secret techniques of the Golden Horned Beast were: Clone, Original Body Heaven and Earth, and Absolute Space.

Among them, Clone is a god-tier life-saving skill, Original Body Heaven and Earth is a combat aid for changing size, and Absolute Space is the prototype for teleportation and strangulation.

Although very strong, the Golden Horned Beast's attributes lean towards "Metal" and "Space," making its attack methods relatively singular, relying mainly on its physical body for hard-hitting combat.

And the Void Behemoth?

Void Walk—Top-tier life-saving and displacement; if you can't win, you can run, and while running, the enemy can't even hit you. It's simply shameless.

Candlelight—This is the most outrageous; it actually involves the "Law of Time"!

One must know that in the primitive universe, the Law of Time is a high-end domain that only World Lords or even Immortals can touch. This behemoth actually comes with it innately? It's simply a dimensional strike!

Eternal Night Domain—Ultra-large-scale crowd control plus self-buffs, and it's also a spatial blockade.

Stealth, displacement, single-target burst, crowd control, self-enhancement...

"This isn't just a behemoth; this is a comprehensive, six-sided warrior!"

Lin Yuan couldn't help but marvel.

Especially that commentary—"To look is day, to close is night"—which reminded him of the god of Mount Zhong from Chinese mythology, "Zhulong." This Void Behemoth is practically a cosmic, upgraded version of Zhulong!

"It is worthy of being the darling of the primitive universe. Although their numbers are so scarce they are nearly extinct, possessing such heaven-defying configurations makes it truly acceptable."

If such monsters could be mass-produced like pigs, then other races in the universe might as well stop playing and just slit their own throats.

"Hoo..."

Calming his excited emotions, Lin Yuan's gaze became resolute.

"Begin gestating the clone!"

Following his command, the essence blood merged directly into the core world within Lin Yuan's body.

Hum!

A strange ripple undulated deep within his soul.

Lin Yuan could clearly feel as if a small portion of his soul were being gently torn away by an invisible hand; this pain was not physical, but a shudder originating from the depths of his spirit.

Yet, he did not even furrow his brow.

That portion of his soul rapidly fused with the essence blood of the Void Behemoth, transforming into a giant egg, black as ink and covered in golden secret patterns, which hung silently in the void.

[Clone gestation initiated...]

[Estimated gestation time: 365 Earth days]

"One year, is it?"

Looking at the time provided by the system, Lin Yuan nodded slightly, feeling no urgency.

In the original work, the hatching of the Golden Horned Beast also took about a year; considering the power of the Void Behemoth, this duration was entirely within an acceptable range.

Moreover, due to the butterfly effect brought about by his transmigration, the nodes of many events had already undergone subtle changes. He now had plenty of time to lay his plans and wait.

He could use this year to settle himself and, incidentally, handle some trivial matters on Earth.

"The matter of the clone cannot be rushed; that is a trump card for the future."

Lin Yuan stood up and walked to the massive floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the brilliantly lit Jiangnan Base City beneath his feet, his gaze becoming deep and sharp.

"The immediate priority now is to improve the hard power of my original body."

His trip to Mist Island had been highly rewarding; he held a vast quantity of Muya Crystals in his hands, and with the accumulation of various system rewards, his strength could certainly take another leap forward.

"First, I must consume the existing resources to break through my martial artist realm as quickly as possible, and perhaps even... charge toward the Star Level!"

Lin Yuan clenched his fists, feeling the surging power within his body.

Earth was merely a starter village.

The true stage lay in the vast, starry sky.

And before stepping into that starry sky, he had to reach his most perfect state, ready to meet the impending cosmic storm with an invincible posture!
