The Eye of the Space-Time Nightmare Beast, Devouring Bloodline

Jiang Luo then turned his gaze toward the second treasure.

It was a massive golden eye, roughly ten meters in diameter.

Around this golden eye, the fluctuations of the origin laws of space—which had been extremely blurry to his perception—became significantly clearer.

As he locked eyes with it, his consciousness seemed to enter a world filled with endless stars.

Every star moved along a mysterious trajectory, and within those paths seemed to lie the infinite mysteries of the origin laws of space, leaving him utterly mesmerized.

"Master!"

Wu He's call pulled his consciousness back from the golden eye.

"Is this the eye of a Space-Time Nightmare Beast you spoke of?" Jiang Luo couldn't help but exclaim. "It is so miraculous; it even possesses the profound ability to assist in comprehending the laws of space..."

The Space-Time Nightmare Beast was one of the eighteen royal clans of the Monster Race.

They were born with two heads: one with a golden pupil and one with a silver pupil.

The golden pupil influenced space, while the silver pupil influenced time.

Once the golden and silver pupils were used in conjunction with a law domain to unleash innate secret techniques, the power of the law domain could be multiplied.

If one's comprehension of space-time laws reached a certain level, they could even achieve the ability to near-perfectly control a region of space-time through these dual pupils.

According to the information left behind by the Flint Star Sector Lord, the golden pupil he had obtained actually belonged to a Space-Time Nightmare Beast at the Universe Venerable level!

Although the Space-Time Nightmare Beast could not compare to the peak bloodlines of the Starry Sky Behemoths, nor were they as rare, the number of Venerable-level Space-Time Nightmare Beasts was certainly not high.

If the Monster Race discovered that the Flint Star Sector Lord had possessed the eye of a Venerable-level Space-Time Nightmare Beast, he would likely have been hunted to the ends of the universe.

"This must have been the Flint Star Sector Lord's greatest encounter..." Jiang Luo sighed.

Even if it wasn't his most significant opportunity, it certainly played a vital role in the Flint Star Sector Lord's growth.

After storing the eye of the Space-Time Nightmare Beast into his World Ring, Jiang Luo turned his attention to the final treasure!

It was an oval egg, approximately fifteen meters in diameter.

The surface of the shell was mottled, seemingly covered in a thick layer of metal and rock.

Where the rock did not cover it, a reddish-gold shell was exposed, marked with strange white patterns.

It was the egg of a Flame Star Behemoth, one of the twelve peak bloodlines of the Starry Sky Behemoths!

Wu He's eyes filled with sorrow. "I only just saw the information the old master left inside the spaceship.

"This Flame Star Behemoth egg was the old master's greatest harvest from the extraterritorial battlefield this time.

"But it was also because of this egg that he was severely wounded.

"He passed away completely not long after returning."

Jiang Luo reached out to touch the mottled shell, which felt like cold rock or metal.

He could not perceive a single trace of life.

It felt like a purely inanimate object.

"Is this egg truly still alive?" Jiang Luo asked, feeling somewhat doubtful.

Wu He explained, "Starry Sky Behemoths are rare and treat the endless starry sky as their home, so their eggs possess a self-hibernation mechanism.

"In hibernation, they are no different from ordinary meteorites, devoid of any life force.

"They can drift through the universe for hundreds of millions of years or even longer.

"Only when they encounter a suitable environment will they activate and begin to gestate, eventually hatching into a Starry Sky Behemoth cub.

"This Flame Star Behemoth egg, for instance, only needs to encounter a star to immediately absorb its power and begin gestation.

"Master has already checked it with World Energy; although this egg has been in hibernation for countless years, there is indeed life at its core. Placing it inside a star will revive it!

"The old master had originally intended to wait for the Flame Star Behemoth to gestate so he could perform a soul transfer; he was still far from his natural lifespan limit.

"By switching to the body of this Flame Star Behemoth, his talent for fire laws and space laws would have increased many times over, allowing him to achieve even greater heights.

"Unexpectedly, his soul was severely damaged on the extraterritorial battlefield, to the point where he couldn't even execute the soul transfer secret technique..."

At this point, Wu He looked at Jiang Luo with eyes full of anticipation. "The trial set by the old master was specifically designed for that soul transfer technique.

"Only those with a sufficiently strong will have the ability to cultivate the soul transfer technique, and thus have the possibility of possessing the Flame Star Behemoth!"

Jiang Luo couldn't help but smile.

It was only while undergoing the trial that he realized the Flint Star Sector Lord's test was aimed at one's will.

Those without sufficient will would die on the stairs.

With his state of mind, which had already faintly transcended the unity of heaven and man, passing the trial and reaching the top of the pyramid along the stairs had been effortless.

Over the past few thousand years, the World within a World had opened several times, but no one had been able to pass the trial; those who attempted it perished on the spot.

This led many top forces in the Huanming Star Sector to believe that the Flint Star Sector Lord's requirements for a successor's law talent were simply too high.

That was why the Obsidian Company had been so worried that he would pass the trial and obtain the treasure, especially after suspecting he had obtained a token and crossed the threshold of the origin laws.

In reality, many star-level geniuses who have crossed the threshold of the laws would likely fail this trial.

Those with twisted spirits and mental issues, like the blood fiend Thanses, would be even less likely to pass.

Facing Wu He's expectant and excited gaze, Jiang Luo shook his head gently: "Don't even think about it; I have no intention of possessing this Flame Star Behemoth."

In terms of life level, he could also improve his own by cultivating the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Map.

In fact, his current genetic level had already reached six times that of a normal human, which was not much worse than the Flame Star Behemoth.

Moreover, the Flame Star Behemoth did not possess the talent for creating clones.

If he were to truly possess the Flame Star Behemoth, he would have to abandon his human body.

What he possessed was no ordinary human body, but the Thirteen Sword Fiend Body!

In reality, even if a Golden Horned Beast were placed right in front of him, he would not be willing to possess it.

Clone talent?

His mind was filled with countless cultivation techniques and divine abilities from the myriad worlds that granted the power to create clones; it was simply that his current wish power was insufficient to manifest them.

However...

Not possessing the Flame Star Behemoth did not mean he couldn't make use of this peak bloodline belonging to a Starry Sky Behemoth.

"It just so happens that my wish power is sufficient, and the first few levels of this technique aren't expensive."

Jiang Luo's thoughts stirred: "Manifest Mysterious Heaven Skill!"

The Mysterious Heaven Skill from Tang San.

Of course, not the standard version, but the mutated version from Rebirth of Tang San.

A mutated Mysterious Heaven Skill capable of devouring the bloodline abilities of others!

Jiang Luo thought to himself: "The Flame Star Behemoth should be considered a darling of the origin laws of fire, and its talent for the laws of space is likely no weaker than that of a Golden Horned Beast."

"Once I devour the bloodline of this Flame Star Behemoth, it will temporarily make up for my greatest current deficiency."

His problem right now was his strongest means:

Whether it was the powerful physical body from the seventh level of the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Map, which was six times the genetic level of a human, Or the formidable Thirteen Sword Fiend Body.

Neither could be utilized within the Virtual Universe!

In reality, he was a powerhouse capable of crushing Thanses, the strongest star-level genius of the current generation in the Gulun Universe Kingdom!

He was so strong, in fact, that neither Thanses nor the major factions of the Huanming Star Sector suspected that he was the one who had obtained the treasure.

Yet in the Virtual Universe, he was merely a genius who had barely cleared the third Trial Tower, ranking 126th among the star-level members of the Ancient Wheel Hall.

Although he could still be called a peerless genius of the Gulun Universe Kingdom.

Entering the Giant Axe Arena or the Virtual Universe Company would not be easy.

Especially since the peak powerhouse battle to select universe-level geniuses would begin in twelve years; he was still a hundred and eight thousand miles away from that goal.

Jiang Luo had no patience to wait ninety years for the Giant Axe Arena to come to the Sacred Hall to select star-level geniuses.

"I fear that merely devouring the Flame Star Behemoth's bloodline won't be enough..."

One year later.

On the photosphere of a star's surface, Jiang Luo stood amidst temperatures of five to six thousand degrees Celsius without the slightest discomfort.

With the seventh level of the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Map layered with the Thirteen Sword Fiend Body, there were very few humans at the universe level with a physical body stronger than his.

He could walk on a white dwarf as if it were flat ground.

A crimson-gold giant egg hovered before him.

The mottled patterns on the eggshell had completely faded, and a heart-stopping aura and pressure emanated from within.

In a few days at most, a newborn Flame Star Behemoth would break out of its shell.

However, Jiang Luo had no patience to wait for it to hatch.

He stretched out his palm, pressed it against the eggshell, and began to circulate the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Within his body, a mysterious connection seemed to form with the bloodline inside the egg, attracting it like a magnet and summoning it like a mother.

Immediately, a surge of abundant energy poured into his body, flowing continuously as if drawn to a lodestone.
