Soul Transformation, Devouring All Races

Inside the Gulun Secret Realm, within the castle.

Jiang Luo carefully studied the "Ten Thousand Line Flow" lineage recorded in the Nine Heavens Atlas in his hands.

In reality, this was merely one of his clones.

His true body and the other sixteen clones were all inside his World Ring.

Some were situated beneath the starry sky within the Eye of the Space-Time Nightmare Beast, contemplating the profound mysteries of the laws of space.

Some logged into the Virtual Universe, practicing movement techniques based on the Nine Heavens Atlas and his insights from the Eye of the Space-Time Nightmare Beast.

Some were wholeheartedly cultivating the Burning Technique.

Some were cultivating the soul vibration secret technique of the Soul Flame.

Some were cultivating Space Shatter.

Some were cultivating the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Map.

Some were cultivating the Thirteen Sword Fiend Body.

Some were cultivating the soul secret techniques from the Cangyuan Map universe, the Demon Awl Forbidden Technique and the Primordial Spirit Star.

Some were using soul communication to command the Ten Thousand Feather Tree far away in the Huanming Star Sector, continuously developing new life planets and cultivating faith.

"Master!"

Wu He's voice penetrated the walls, echoing in the quiet room: "The people from the Virtual Universe Company have arrived."

"Very well, I understand." Jiang Luo nodded slightly.

He walked out of the castle to where a spaceship was parked nearby, with three World Lords in white robes waiting on the side.

"Guest identity confirmed, transaction ready."

After one of the World Lords verified his identity, he smiled and handed over two World Rings.

They were specifically responsible for delivering items won at medium-tier auctions.

However, they were not surprised that the recipient was only a Universe-level practitioner.

Jiang Luo's identity was no secret throughout the entire Gulun Universe Kingdom; as a newly accepted named disciple of the Gulun Kingdom Lord, it was perfectly normal for him to have the qualifications to participate in a medium-tier auction.

He had purchased over ten million Hunyuan Units worth of treasures, so the World Rings, valued at 0.5 Hunyuan Units each, were merely complimentary gifts.

After the three World Lords from the Virtual Universe Company departed, Jiang Luo returned to the quiet room and refined the World Rings.

The other sixteen clones emerged one after another, entering the refined World Ring.

Inside that World Ring lay a lake—a lake composed of Locke Divine Water.

Ten million cubic meters of Locke Divine Water were enough to restore the physical bodies of all seventeen clones to the level of his true body.

More than a month later.

The bodies of all his clones had recovered to their peak state.

Only then did Jiang Luo take out the other World Ring and retrieve the treasures within.

It was a multifaceted cyan crystal sphere, approximately five meters in diameter.

The crystal radiated endless cold; it was the Doukou Crystal Fetus he had spent ten million Hunyuan Units to win at auction!

Jiang Luo then bypassed the Molten Flame Crystal Silk and Heavenly Radiance Marrow stored in boxes, turning his gaze toward a round, chubby caterpillar that appeared to be sealed in amber.

However, this caterpillar had no fuzz on its body surface; instead, it was covered in mysterious green secret patterns.

It was the Green Line Devouring Insect larva!

A Green Line Devouring Insect is born at the Star-level, and by the time it reaches its mature stage, it is a World Lord.

During this period, it undergoes three metamorphoses.

At this moment, it was in its larval stage.

Jiang Luo took a test tube of silver liquid from a box nearby.

This Green Line Devouring Insect larva was not dead; it was sealed within a type of amber-like alloy.

Upon contact with the silver liquid, the "amber" alloy would transform from a solid to a gas, breaking the seal.

Hiss, hiss, hiss~~~

The amber body rapidly evaporated, turning into gas.

Immediately following, the firmly imprisoned Green Line Devouring Insect larva seemed to transform into a green line, shooting out in a Blink.

Its target was Jiang Luo.

"Imprison!"

The blinking green line vanished in an instant, and the chubby body of the Green Line Devouring Insect larva seemed to be nailed into the void, unable to move a muscle.

Jiang Luo looked speechlessly at the Green Line Devouring Insect that had thrown itself into his trap: "This fellow doesn't seem to have much intelligence."

Not to mention that he could cast "Space Imprisonment," even if it were any other Universe-level powerhouse, it would not be something a Star-level 1 Green Line Devouring Insect larva could handle.

"Devour!"

Jiang Luo immediately circulated his mutated Mysterious Heaven Skill to begin devouring the bloodline of the Green Line Devouring Insect.

The chubby larva seemed to sense something, and the dozen eyes on its body revealed a look of terror.

But soon, they dimmed into a dull gray.

A continuous stream of heat surged into the body of this Jiang Luo clone, causing his genetic structure to undergo a constant metamorphosis.

Unknowingly, translucent silk threads even began to secrete from the surface of his skin, wrapping and binding him layer by layer until he was encased in a cocoon.

Three days later.

Cracks appeared on the surface of the cocoon, and a completely naked figure stepped out.

His skin, seemingly devoid of even a single pore, was covered in mysterious green secret patterns.

Faint wisps of light seemed to overflow from his eyes and ears.

Under this radiance, his physique and facial features appeared both demonic and perfect.

Jiang Luo looked at his own body and muttered, "It seems this clone should appear in front of others as little as possible..."

Although the act of devouring the bloodline was centered on 'himself', the Green Line Devouring Insect bloodline had still brought about immense changes.

The most obvious was the increased sensitivity to the Laws of Wood and the Laws of Space.

The clarity of his perception regarding the Laws of Wood could now rival that of the Laws of Fire.

The clarity of the Laws of Space had also more than doubled compared to before!

While it likely still couldn't compare to the Mosha Clan, those darlings of space, it was undoubtedly a massive step forward.

"The life level of this clone has increased from 12 times to 16 times..."

"However, the greatest change is the soul..."

Jiang Luo wore an expression of amazement.

Having devoured the Green Line Devouring Insect bloodline, the volume of his transformed soul was ten thousand times greater than before!

If his previous soul volume was a yellow dwarf star, it was now a red giant.

The volume had increased countless times over.

Of course, this was an increase in quantity, not an increase in the strength of his consciousness.

Therefore, his spiritual force remained at the first level of the Universe stage; it was simply that the sheer quantity of his spiritual force far exceeded that of humans at the same level.

He feared that even a Domain Lord would not possess such vast spiritual force.

"So that's how it is..." Jiang Luo thought thoughtfully.

After devouring the Green Line Devouring Insect bloodline, this clone had also gained two additional innate secret techniques.

One was 'Soul Division and Thought Manifestation'.

The second was 'Blink'.

The so-called 'myriad clones' talent of the Green Line Devouring Insect was, in essence, the ability to divide soul seeds and parasitize other life forms, thereby possessing thousands of living puppets.

Of course, the consciousness strength of the divided soul seeds was significantly lower than the main body, and the life realm and genetic level they could parasitize were also far inferior to the main body.

This was somewhat similar to the innate talent of the Zerg Mother Queen, who possessed a naturally powerful soul.

However, while the Zerg Mother Queen could control a million or more Zerg warriors simultaneously, the precision of this control would drop significantly as the number of warriors increased.

The Green Line Devouring Insect could control at most 10,081 living puppets, but its control precision far exceeded that of the Zerg Mother Queen.

Jiang Luo was very satisfied with this innate secret technique: "This clone can be specifically responsible for the exploration and protection of life planets."

The physical and soul metamorphosis, as well as the innate secret techniques gained from the clone devouring the Green Line Devouring Insect bloodline, only benefited this specific clone.

They could not be shared with other sub-bodies.

Unless he could cultivate the third level of the Tao Wu Eighteen Gods and Demons to perfection, at which point the eighteen sub-bodies could merge into the main body at any time, and the main body could transform into eighteen clones at will.

When merged into the main body, the souls and physical bodies of the eighteen sub-bodies would also fuse into one.

Of course, the amount of wish power currently required to manifest the third level of the Tao Wu Eighteen Gods and Demons was far from sufficient.

Moreover, even if it were manifested, the resources and time required to cultivate it to perfection were not something that could be achieved in the short term.

Even Ji Ning from the Desolate Era universe had settled for less and had not cultivated the third level to perfection.

This was Jiang Luo's ambition!

Each of the eighteen sub-bodies would devour different life essences, each walking a different path.

When the Tao Wu Eighteen Gods and Demons was cultivated to perfection and the eighteen sub-bodies could merge into one, all the talents and achievements of the sub-bodies would return to the main body.

Furthermore, there would be a massive leap in power!

If he could devour ten thousand races, he wondered if he could carve out a supreme path of his own!
