The sound waves, like tangible ripples, instantly swept across the sand dunes for hundreds of miles. Red dust was shaken into the sky, forming terrifying tornadoes of earth.

Lin Yuan's eyes, deep as the starry sky, remained fixed ahead.

There, a creature so massive it was suffocating was coiled atop the peak of Mars's colossal Olympus Mons!

It was a terrifying existence that completely defied the common sense of Earth's biology.

Unlike the Golden Horned Beast, it did not possess the ferocious wings or thick limbs of a Western dragon. Its form was closer to the deity from ancient Chinese legends—the Zhulong!

Over a thousand meters in length, its entire body was covered in scales as deep as obsidian, each one flowing with dark purple secret patterns that seemed to contain the most fundamental mysteries of the universe.

It had no wings, yet it could command the void by instinct, its slender body coiled around the highest peak of Mars like a black galaxy cascading into the mortal realm.

Its head was majestic and ancient, with two winding horns like blades capable of tearing the heavens. As its eyes opened and closed, the left eye resembled a brilliant sun, while the right resembled a cold, ghostly moon, as if it held dominion over the alternation of day and night, light and darkness.

This was Lin Yuan's first avatar—the Void Behemoth!

The overwhelming pressure radiating from it was not merely due to its immense size, but an absolute suppression at the level of life itself. In its presence, even the stars in the sky seemed to dim and lose their luster.

"Since the avatar is complete, let me experience for myself just how strong this body truly is!"

With a thought from Lin Yuan, his original body instantly transformed into a streak of light, rushing toward the core flickering with strange radiance at the center of the Void Behemoth's brow.

The next second, the world turned upside down.

The perspective that had belonged to a human vanished instantly, replaced by an unprecedented, grand, and wondrous perception.

"Boom!"

As Lin Yuan's consciousness completely took over this massive body, a sense of seemingly infinite power surged through his soul like an erupting volcano!

He tried to lift a claw capable of crushing mountains and swiped it forward gently.

"Sshhh—"

Without using any origin power, relying solely on physical strength, the space in front of him was torn directly into several pitch-black spatial rifts, as if it were fragile fabric!

Mars's thin atmosphere rushed in frantically, emitting a sharp, whistling shriek.

"So strong!"

Lin Yuan was ecstatic. He whipped his long, powerful tail, the tip breaking the sound barrier as it slammed heavily into the Olympus Mons beneath him.

"Rumble—"

The highest peak in the solar system, standing over twenty thousand meters tall, trembled violently under this single blow, countless boulders tumbling down as if an magnitude-eight earthquake had struck!

But this was not what surprised Lin Yuan the most.

What he found most incredible was that the world before his eyes had changed.

To the eyes of his human original body, the world was composed of matter and energy. But to the eyes of the Void Behemoth, the world was woven from countless brilliant "threads."

Those threads were the laws!

The once obscure and difficult laws of time, space, and light were now so clear in Lin Yuan's eyes that they felt within reach.

He saw the trajectories of light refracting through the void, no longer elusive particles, but flowing golden rivers.

He saw the fluctuations of space, no longer invisible barriers, but layers of gauze that could be folded and pierced.

He even felt, vaguely, the passage of time becoming slow and viscous around him.

"Is this the natural advantage of the Void Behemoth?"

Lin Yuan took a deep breath.

Compared to the Golden Horned Beast's law of metal, what the Void Behemoth grasped was undoubtedly a higher-level power, one closer to the origin of the universe!

"With this avatar, why worry about failing to reach the pinnacle of the universe?"

He raised his massive head slightly and let out a satisfied, low hum.

This body was a perfect vessel, born for cultivation!

Although an avatar could not directly raise the genetic level of the original body, this ultra-high affinity for the laws could be replicated and shared by Lin Yuan's soul.

"A perfect match; it's as if it were tailor-made for me."

Lin Yuan felt completely at ease. He slightly restrained his terrifying aura, his massive body swimming slowly through the void as naturally as a fish in water.

"Ika."

A low, majestic voice boomed across the Martian sky, transmitted directly through spiritual energy.

"Swish!"

A streak of light flashed, and the small, exquisite figure of the intelligent lifeform Ika appeared out of thin air.

The moment she appeared, Ika was so frightened by the sky-obscuring behemoth before her that her data stream went into chaos, and she nearly failed to maintain her projection.

"My goodness! You... you are Lin Yuan?!"

Ika's eyes widened as she flew several circles around the Void Behemoth, her small mouth agape wide enough to fit an egg.

"Don't make such a fuss."

Lin Yuan maneuvered his massive dragon-like head closer to Ika, his eyes, vast as the sun and moon, fixed upon the tiny sprite.

"This is my first avatar, the Void Behemoth. Ika, analyze the current growth status of this body immediately, and tell me what it needs to consume to grow stronger as quickly as possible."

"Don't make such a fuss."

Lin Yuan maneuvered his massive dragon-like head closer to Ika, his eyes, vast as the sun and moon, fixed upon the tiny sprite.

"This is my first avatar, the Void Behemoth. Ika, analyze the current growth status of this body immediately, and tell me what it needs to consume to grow stronger as quickly as possible."

The Golden Horned Beast evolved by devouring metal, but what about the Void Behemoth?

"Understood!"

Ika recovered from its shock instantly.

A virtual screen flickered wildly in front of Ika, with countless complex data streams cascading down like a waterfall.

A moment later, Ika took a deep breath, its small face filled with awe: "It's incredible... Lin Yuan, this avatar of yours is simply a darling of the universe!"

It pointed to the data on the screen, speaking at a rapid pace:

"According to the analysis, the Void Behemoth is the most mysterious branch of the Starry Sky Behemoths, naturally favored by the origin of the primal universe."

"While other creatures struggle to comprehend even a sliver of the laws, it comes with a built-in 'cheat code'!"

"What you currently possess should be the complete Law of Light, along with a rudimentary grasp of the two supreme laws: Time and Space."

"And this is only in its infancy! As it grows, its comprehension of these two supreme laws will deepen automatically!"

At this point, Ika paused and pulled up a "dietary menu."

"As for the path to strength... your Void Behemoth is an expert in both the 'Energy' and 'Space' categories."

"At the current stage, if you want it to grow rapidly, the most effective resource available on Earth is—Muya Crystal!"

"Muya Crystals contain pure life energy and Spirits of Vegetation, which have an excellent nourishing effect on the body."

"Secondly..." Ika pointed toward the distant void, "Fragments of the 'Boundary Wall' from ancient civilization ruins! These are the insulating materials containing spatial power. The Void Behemoth can strengthen its innate spatial talent by devouring these materials with spatial attributes."

"Finally..." Ika's gaze suddenly turned somewhat peculiar as it pointed to the C9-grade spaceship parked not far from the Falling Ink Star ship, "If you are willing to part with it, ships made of such high-grade alloys, or treasures containing special law secret patterns, are also its favorites."

Lin Yuan's massive eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this.

"Muya Crystals? I still have quite a bit of stock. Boundary Wall fragments? Earth is full of ancient ruins; I can just dismantle a few. As for the spaceship..."

He glanced at the silver-white C9-grade ship and shook his head slightly. At this stage, the ship was the one thing he could not afford to lose; it was the key to his interstellar travel.

However, all things considered, the Void Behemoth seemed quite easy to cultivate. But Ika spoke up again, "These can only be considered 'supplementary food' for the transition before the Universe level."

"Beyond that, the conditions become much harsher, such as devouring stars..." Ika did not elaborate, as such things were far too distant for the current stage.

Having grasped the general idea, Lin Yuan nodded slightly. Currently, the Void Behemoth was at the first rank of the Star level, just like him.

He soon discovered, however, that perhaps due to the uniqueness of the system, his avatar was not restricted by the rule that it could not surpass the "original body," which was a pleasant surprise.

Therefore, he could quickly allow the Void Behemoth to break through and become a powerful trump card. With this thought in mind, he instructed Ika, "Notify the globe now—"

"In my capacity as the First Speaker, gather fragments of the 'Boundary Wall' from all ancient civilization ruins."

"Understood!" Ika acted quickly, and before long, all major factions on Earth received the email.

The HR Alliance expressed their full support.

The major nations were essentially in agreement.

The Limit Martial Arts Hall and the Thunderbolt Martial Arts Hall went without saying.

They all wanted to cling to Lin Yuan's coattails.

Lin Yuan was pleased with this outcome. Subsequently, his consciousness returned to his original body, the Void Behemoth was retracted into the Five-Colored Core World within his body, and he returned to the ship...

Starting today, he would enter seclusion once more to comprehend the Law of Time!
