Flame Star Behemoth's Egg, Secret Tome Boundless

A moment later, the sky above the entire island fell silent.

The ground and the Pyramid Mountain Range were covered in a layer of blood, a scene that could only be described as a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Jiang Luo turned his head to look at Thanses, who was standing there in a daze.

"Mother..."

Thanses could be heard muttering to himself.

Huh, what kind of memory did he trigger?

Jiang Luo's Illusionary Demon Emperor Fist was manifested from the Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas series.

When a Gemini Saint was on the verge of death, he could even use the Illusionary Demon Emperor Fist on himself to achieve the goal of being resurrected by his own obsession after death.

Therefore, unlike ordinary soul-based forbidden techniques, the essence of the Illusionary Demon Emperor Fist was actually to plant, or rather, amplify a certain obsession within the target.

It was not a matter of forced control.

After all, Thanses was arguably the strongest Star-level in the current Gulun Universe Kingdom, and he had even broken through to the Universe-level mid-battle.

He also practiced soul-defense secret techniques.

Even though Jiang Luo constantly visualized the Nuwa Map and his life level was six times that of a human, his mental consciousness was not inferior to a Universe-level, making it difficult to forcibly enslave the other party.

That was why he had used the Illusionary Demon Emperor Fist, which could subtly alter the other party's will and twist their mind.

Many soul techniques could not defend against the Illusionary Demon Emperor Fist.

According to Jiang Luo's understanding, the only thing that could resist the Illusionary Demon Emperor Fist was the strength of one's will!

And those like Thanses, whose minds were already twisted, were naturally countered by the Illusionary Demon Emperor Fist.

"Eh?" Jiang Luo's expression shifted.

The Blood Demon 'Thanses' seemed to have recovered from his memories and turned to look at him.

But what surprised him most was that Thanses' narrow eyes, which had previously been filled with bloodlust, cruelty, and pain, were now clearer than ever before.

Even the aura surrounding him had changed.

It was as if a madman had suddenly turned into a normal person!

Jiang Luo: The Illusionary Demon Emperor Fist has the side effect of curing mental illness?!

Did two negatives make a positive?

Thanses, who seemed to have been reborn, looked at the sky and the island below, revealing a pure smile.

He then said to Jiang Luo, who was still wearing his mask: "You saved me from the abyss and granted me freedom."

"I cannot thank you enough for this grace. If you do not mind, I am willing to become your follower and obey your commands."

"However..."

Thanses' gaze was firm: "My enemy is the Blood Demon King. My greatest wish and goal in this life is to kill him, no matter the cost."

It seems the obsession twisted and amplified by the Illusionary Demon Emperor Fist is to kill the Blood Demon King?

Jiang Luo suppressed his inner amazement at the 'therapeutic effect' and said indifferently: "Your grudge with the Blood Demon King is your own business. However, if your performance satisfies me, I don't mind helping you out in the future."

Thanses' eyes lit up.

"First, tell me why you were willing to risk breaking through to the Universe-level just to kill me," Jiang Luo asked. "Did the Obsidian Company make you do it?"

Although Thanses had already reached the first floor of the sixth Trial Tower and was qualified to compete for the top ten among the 1008 Universe Kingdoms' Star-level geniuses.

In terms of law comprehension and combat power, he was truly not much worse than Luo Feng during the finals of the Genius Competition.

But once he broke through to the Universe-level, he might not even rank in the top thousand among the Universe-level geniuses of the 1008 Universe Kingdoms.

The pinnacle powerhouse battle would begin in twelve years.

If Thanses failed to break into the top thousand of the 1008 Universe Kingdoms, he would truly have to wait another thousand years for a chance to enter the core layer of the Giant Axe Arena.

But if he remained at the Star-level, he would definitely be able to enter the core layer when the Giant Axe Arena came to the Sacred Hall to select Star-level geniuses in 90 years.

The difference between these two paths was quite significant.

Why would Thanses take such a huge risk?

Logically speaking, the treasure of the Flint Star Sector Lord did not hold that much appeal for Thanses, who had the potential to become a member of the Shenshi Secret Realm of the Giant Axe Arena.

Thanses gave a bitter smile and transmitted his voice: "It was the guidance of the Blood Demon King. He said that among the treasures left behind by the Flint Star Sector Lord, there is an egg of a 'Flame Star Behemoth'."

"If I can obtain it, he will grant me the secret technique to possess the Flame Star Behemoth."

"If the possession is successful, it will not only allow me to be reborn but also help me shed the distortion of my mind and will accumulated from endless slaughter."

An egg of a Flame Star Behemoth?

Jiang Luo's heart shook, and he transmitted back: "How could the Blood Demon King send you to seize the treasure of the Flint Star Sector Lord..."

The Blood Demon King was a peak King-level powerhouse; if he really wanted to support Thanses, who could stop him?

Thanses shook his head: "It is not that simple. Although the Dutu Star Sector and Blood Demon Planet have a special status and the Universe Kingdom has no right to interfere, it is not because the Universe Kingdom is truly afraid of the Blood Demon King."

"Likewise, the Universe Kingdom stipulates that the Blood Demon King's forces cannot leave the Dutu Star Sector."

"Especially since the Huanming Star Sector is the territory of Marquis Huanming, and he is the Sovereign's most favored descendant, even the Blood Demon King would not dare to act wantonly here."

"Moreover... heh, given the Blood Demon King's power, he likely has little desire for the egg of a Flame Star Behemoth."

"In his eyes, this is probably just a fun experiment to see if a human with a twisted mind can perform a soul-transfer into a Flame Star Behemoth, and what would happen if they succeeded."

"The geniuses cultivated by Blood Demon Planet throughout the generations are actually nothing more than playthings for the Blood Demon King."

"Even those who manage to enter the five major giants cannot gain the favor of the powerful due to their twisted minds, making it difficult to shake off the Blood Demon King's control."

Jiang Luo pondered for a moment and said indifferently, "You should leave the island first and return to the Sacred Hall to continue your normal cultivation. I will contact you if I need you."

"Yes." Thanses lowered his head respectfully, then transformed into a stream of light and flew away from the island.

Jiang Luo withdrew his gaze; Thanses had sufficient talent, and he truly did not mind cultivating such a subordinate.

He could manifest countless divine abilities, cultivation techniques, and special powers from the myriad worlds.

As long as he had enough faith, let alone one Thanses, he could afford to cultivate thousands or even tens of thousands.

Once Thanses had departed, Jiang Luo was the only one left on the island.

The conditions for passing the trial were met.

Morena, a sentient lifeform with a flawless face, looked at Jiang Luo with a somewhat crazed smile: "Master, I have finally found a truly powerful successor for you!"

Jiang Luo was speechless. Was it really you who found him?

Any other Star-level individual in his position would have long since died in this slaughterhouse of yours.

A day later, an explosive piece of news spread throughout the Huanming Star Sector and continued to propagate to other star sectors.

After a series of brutal and bloody battles, the treasure of the Sector Lord-level Great Axe Warrior, the Flint Star Sector Lord 'Ertis', had been opened!

For thousands of years, this precious treasure, which had caused turmoil in the Huanming Star Sector and kept seventeen top forces in constant conflict, had been snatched away by a mysterious Universe-level powerhouse.

This drove a crowd of Sector Lords and even Immortal Gods to the point of madness.

Even though various forces investigated with all their might, they could not uncover the identity of that mysterious Universe-level powerhouse.

In the dark universe, a giant pyramid-shaped spaceship was flying rapidly.

Inside a massive hall in the center of the ship, Jiang Luo sat on a throne, savoring the crystal-clear fine wine in his glass.

A rich surge of emotion accompanied the liquid, and upon careful tasting, it left one feeling wistful.

"It lives up to the name 'Love Thread'; this wine has become even more mellow after five thousand years. Why is it that I only ever encounter so many mentally unstable people?" Jiang Luo sighed.

The Blood Demon 'Thanses' was one; he had been struck by the Illusionary Demon Emperor Fist, which twists the mind and amplifies obsessions, but he had used poison to fight poison, curing his original mental distortion.

At the very least, he was a normal person on the surface.

Then there was the sentient lifeform Morena, who had fallen deeply in love with her master, the Flint Star Sector Lord Ertis.

Once he passed the trial, Morena immediately committed suicide to follow her love in death.

Forgive him, but he truly could not understand love.

"Master." Wu He, with his silver hair and handsome face, said respectfully, "All the treasures have been organized."

After the ordeal in the Flint Star World, Wu He had completely submitted to him as his master.

"There are two four-star accounts, one from the Cosmic Galaxy Bank and one from the Cosmic First Bank. The two accounts combined total 110,000 Hunyuan units of cosmic currency..."

Jiang Luo was thoughtful; this amount was lower than he had imagined.

The Flint Star Sector Lord's strength was even greater than that of an average Immortal God, and even Sector Lord-level generals were far inferior to him.

Otherwise, he would not have earned the title of a Sector Lord-level Great Axe Warrior, a title few in an entire cosmic nation possessed.

Such a heaven-defying Sector Lord would surely have encounters and wealth far exceeding that of an ordinary Immortal.

Upon hearing Wu He's subsequent introduction, Jiang Luo understood that most of the Flint Star Sector Lord's net worth consisted of various treasures, so the cash was naturally less.

Not counting the other miscellaneous treasures, materials, and weapons.

There were three most precious items left behind by the Flint Star Sector Lord.

One was the cultivation manual he practiced, Boundless!

This was both a supreme manual for cultivating the Flint God Weapon, one of the nine great divine weapons of a controller, and a classic for assisting in the cultivation of space laws.

"The old master was previously most proficient with the Flint God Weapon." Wu He's tone carried pride. "He had long since pushed the Flint God Weapon to the ninth level, the 'Immortal-Defying' stage."

"Half of the old master's Sector Lord title, 'Flint Star', came from this."

"He even had a breakthrough later on, obtaining a powerful weapon which he named the Flint Star Wheel."

"Using the Flint Star Wheel, he elevated the combination of 'Fire and Space' laws to a level that completely surpassed the ninth level of the Flint God Weapon, and by relying on this, he defeated more than one Immortal!"

Jiang Luo flipped through Boundless and couldn't help but nod.

This Boundless indeed started from the laws of fire to delve into the origin laws of space, combining the two to create combat techniques with terrifying attack power.

It was divided into twelve levels in total.

The first nine levels corresponded to the nine forms of the Flint God Weapon.

It could be said to be the most suitable manual for cultivating the Flint God Weapon.

The final three levels, however, transcended the limits of the Flint God Weapon and required a weapon more powerful than the Flint God Weapon to be wielded.
