The Flame Star Behemoth hatchling had not yet emerged from its shell and had not even reached Star Level, so naturally, it could not resist Jiang Luo's Mysterious Heaven Skill devouring it.
Before long, the life energy had drained from the enormous egg, over ten meters in diameter. The white secret patterns on its shell had lost their luster, too.
It seemed to have truly become a meteorite.
Meanwhile, Jiang Luo's body was undergoing a tremendous transformation!
The Flame Star Behemoth bloodline he had absorbed was entwining and fusing with the Crimson Bright God Demon bloodline.
His bones, flesh, and organs continuously transformed, then broke down and reformed.
Having endured the pain of cultivating the Thirteen Sword Fiend Body, Jiang Luo could now easily bear this level of pain.
Normally, the process of bloodline fusion was extremely perilous.
His heart had even disintegrated once.
But with the Innate Secret Technique Blood Rebirth, even if most of his bones, flesh, and organs collapsed at the same time, he would still be in no danger.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Luo opened his eyes again.
His appearance had not changed at all. He still looked like a Crimson Bright God Demon.
Although the life level of the seventh layer of the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Map was inferior to that of the Flame Star Behemoth, the life structure of the Crimson Bright God Demon body-refinement method was exceptionally advanced, with limitless potential.
Not even the most powerful Starry Sky Behemoth bloodline could shake the foundation of the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Map's God Demon body refinement.
Thus, when Jiang Luo devoured the bloodline, it was entirely a matter of "me taking the lead."
Of course, the Flame Star Behemoth bloodline had still brought him enormous changes.
Violent emotions surged through him again and again.
The urge to kill stirred within him.
These were the instincts of the Flame Star Behemoth bloodline!
But Jiang Luo, whose state of mind had already surpassed the unity of heaven and man, easily accepted and dispelled them.
He made them part of his own heart.
Everyone had the urge to kill. It was only a matter of how they controlled it.
For instance, Jiang Luo disliked Blood Demon Planet's method of nurturing geniuses, and he disliked the way Flint Star Sector Lord chose his successor.
But when it came time to kill, he would not show the slightest mercy.
The vast majority of the elite from various factions who had temporarily broken through to the first tier of Universe Level within the World within a World had died at his hands.
Even after leaving behind a sea of corpses, his state of mind had not wavered in the slightest.
As "Emperor Luo," he had been worshipped by the Luo Planet People for thousands of years. The rise and fall of dynasties and the vast changes of the world over those millennia had all been reflected in his heart.
He had witnessed even bloodier struggles among mortals.
Whether Universe Level or Star Level, in his eyes, they were no different in essence from the mortals who had lived on Luo Planet over the millennia.
After dispelling the insignificant mental influence, Jiang Luo examined his body.
"Hmm, my gene level seems to have reached eleven times? Or twelve?"
His God Demon body refinement had previously raised his life level to six times that of a human. After devouring the Flame Star Behemoth bloodline, he had undergone another leap, surpassing ten times the human level!
The leap in life level caused by bloodline fusion was, of course, not a matter of multiplication. Nor was it easy to reach the combined total.
Jiang Luo was already quite satisfied to have reached twelve times.
Apart from the leap in gene level, the biggest change in his body was that his soul had been transferred to a wondrous space—the Origin Core.
It was a crimson crystal ball only a few millimeters in diameter.
Inside the Origin Core was another flame-covered continent, roughly a hundred kilometers long and wide.
The appearance of the Origin Core had given him another weakness, albeit a minor one.
Still, it had little effect on the Crimson Bright God Demon body-refinement method's Blood Rebirth.
After all, the Origin Core was only a few millimeters across.
Besides, even if the Origin Core were destroyed, he could transfer his soul at any time into any surviving bit of flesh and blood.
That was how the Crimson Bright God Demon body-refinement method achieved Blood Rebirth.
It allowed the soul to transfer freely and take refuge in any tiny drop of flesh and blood.
"Besides, I've also acquired two Innate Secret Techniques..."
Jiang Luo smiled faintly.
The first Innate Secret Technique was called Soul Flame. To his surprise, it was specifically meant to increase soul amplitude.
The technique had seven layers.
First layer: 100 times Mental Power Amplitude.
Second layer: 200 times Mental Power Amplitude.
Third layer: 400 times Mental Power Amplitude.
The seventh layer raised soul amplitude to sixty-four times, which was equivalent to 6,400 times Mental Power Amplitude.
Soul Flame also contained various Soul Secret Techniques that could be performed in conjunction with the corresponding levels of soul amplitude.
"I'd heard that Flame Star Behemoths excel at Soul Attacks. Sure enough, they have a related Innate Secret Technique."
He did not care about the Soul Secret Techniques in Soul Flame. What mattered most to him was the increase in soul amplitude itself.
Once soul amplitude reached a certain level, it could greatly enhance the use of telekinetic weapons, Immortal weapons, and other ultimate moves and secret techniques.
The second Innate Secret Technique was called Space Shatter!
It had only three layers.
The first layer was called "Imprisonment."
The second layer was called "Cutting."
The third layer was called "Shatter," also known as "Space Strangling"!
Of the two Innate Secret Techniques, Jiang Luo was most satisfied with Space Shatter.
It was as if it had pointed him in a direction for comprehending the Space Origin Law.
"The Flame Star Behemoth should have a third Innate Secret Technique, but it might have something to do with the body. Perhaps it's something like Manifestation of Heaven and Earth. I can't cultivate it, so I couldn't acquire it..."
After all, when he devoured the Flame Star Behemoth, "I took the lead." His body still had the structure of the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Map's God Demon body refinement; he had not become a Flame Star Behemoth.
Standing on the surface of the star, within its glowing outer layer, Jiang Luo saw the flames around him part as if they had come alive.
Some obediently swirled around him, submitting to his control.
Flame Star Behemoths were darlings of the Fire Origin Law!
"So this is what it's like to be a darling..." Jiang Luo sighed.
If the clarity of his perception of the Fire Origin Law's fluctuations had been 100 before,
it was now 10,000!
Even that earlier clarity of 100 had only come after he had contemplated the Nuwa Map for ten years, nourishing his soul with every passing moment until it had continuously transformed.
An ordinary Star Level genius with a ninth-level fire Domain probably had a clarity of perception for the fluctuations of the Law of Fire of only one.
Compared to a Special Lifeform like this—even the lowest-tier Special Lifeform—humans were like unwanted stepchildren.
Even the clarity of his perception of the fluctuations of the Space Law had increased more than a hundredfold!
Jiang Luo furrowed his brow slightly. "But I'm afraid this still isn't enough."
The peak Universe Level Strong Ones Battle would begin in eleven years.
Even if his Law Comprehension reached the level Luo Feng had achieved during the final battle of the Genius Battle, that would only guarantee him a place among the top thousand out of the 1008 Universe Kingdoms.
After all, crossing the threshold of a Law was the most basic requirement in the Strong Ones Battle. At best, that would make someone a Domain-level genius.
He still had no good way to improve his comprehension of the Space Origin Law; he could only cultivate step by step.
Among the divine abilities and cultivation arts of the myriad worlds, anything involving time or space was extremely difficult to manifest and required an enormous amount of wish power.
He could, however, try to find a way to improve his Law of Fire.
He had already asked the Wordless Seal about it, and there were indeed several things he could afford to manifest at his current level.
After pondering for a while, Jiang Luo focused his mind. "Manifest the Burning Technique!"
In an instant, the Burning Technique from Xiao Yan of the Battle Through the Heavens Universe appeared in his consciousness.
