Talent Secret Art 'Blink', Battle of Peak Experts Begins!

The second innate secret technique obtained by devouring the bloodline of the Green Line Devouring Insect is Blink!

It is divided into three levels.

Level One: Nine Lines.

Level Two: Ten Thousand Lines.

Level Three: Spatial Blink, which is true teleportation.

Jiang Luo revealed a smile: "So that's how it is. Perhaps the so-called Ten Thousand Line Flow was created by referencing the innate secret technique of this Green Line Devouring Insect."

The Green Line Devouring Insect relies on this to transform into streaks of green light, swapping its true body within a certain range.

Whether for attacking or escaping, it can be called an extremely powerful movement technique.

Upon reaching the second level, one can transform into tens of thousands of green light streaks, blinking and shifting within a range of tens of thousands of kilometers.

In essence, it is a type of special phantom body.

The true body can swap positions with the phantom body by distorting space.

After clarifying the transformation gained from devouring the Green Line Devouring Insect bloodline, another Jiang Luo sub-body walked before the Doukou Crystal Fetus.

He similarly circulated the mutated Mysterious Heaven Skill to perform the bloodline devouring secret technique.

However, neither the Doukou Crystal Fetus nor the life crystal core at its center showed any reaction.

"As expected, it doesn't work." Jiang Luo was not disappointed.

The level of bloodlines that the Mysterious Heaven Skill can devour is limited.

The Doukou is a special life form with a genetic level a hundred times that of a human.

Even if the life crystal core has not fully matured, its life level far exceeds that of Jiang Luo.

Moreover, the Doukou is essentially a special life form existing between flesh-and-blood life and energy-based life.

The Mysterious Heaven Skill can only devour the bloodlines of flesh-and-blood life forms.

"It seems I can only pin my hopes on the 'Great Devouring Technique' from the Immortal World or the 'Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art' from the Shrouding the Heavens universe..."

Jiang Luo inspected the 'star' condensed from countless strands of crimson faith power within the Wordless Seal and shook his head slightly.

One trillion strands of white faith power can condense into one strand of crimson faith power.

One trillion strands of crimson faith power can condense into one strand of yellow faith power.

He had long since asked the seal; whether it was the 'Great Devouring Technique' or the 'Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art', both were divine techniques of the yellow grade or higher.

He still had to continue developing life planets and cultivating faith.

Although he had purchased 16 star systems, after more than 20 years, he had developed less than one percent.

A single star system contains hundreds of billions of stars, with suitable life planets numbering anywhere from millions to hundreds of millions.

To turn the majority of life planets in 16 star systems into his sources of faith would truly require quite a lot of time.

"Fortunately, after devouring the Green Line Devouring Insect bloodline, this clone returning to the Huanming Star Sector to coordinate with the Ten Thousand Feather Tree will be enough to greatly increase the speed of exploration."

Jiang Luo prepared to have most of his clones leave the Gulun Secret Realm, specifically to be responsible for exploring life planets and expanding his sources of faith.

Time flew by, and another year and a half passed in the blink of an eye.

Three Jiang Luos sat cross-legged in the secret chamber.

One of the clones appeared to be in pain, his entire body trembling; one eye was wreathed in white flames, while the other was wreathed in crimson flames.

The crimson flames came from the Flame Star Behemoth bloodline, while the white flames came from the drop of 'Heavenly Radiance Marrow' he had ingested.

The alternation of red and white appeared extremely eerie.

BOOM!

This clone seemed to turn into a torch, his entire body igniting with white flames, burning his physical form into ashes!

Only a single drop of white liquid remained suspended in place—the Heavenly Radiance Marrow.

"Failed again..."

Jiang Luo's main body shook his head gently: "Even with me cultivating the Burning Technique, it is very difficult to fuse such powerful 'exotic fire' materials. One careless move and I will explode and die."

Over the past year, he had already lost two clones in order to devour and fuse the 'Heavenly Radiance Marrow'.

Fortunately, as long as one of the eighteen sub-bodies remained alive, he could re-gestate all the other sub-bodies.

He still had plenty of Locke Divine Water on hand, which could quickly gestate clones that had exploded and died.

However, he could feel that he was very close to completely fusing the Heavenly Radiance Marrow.

The second fusion lasted longer than the first, and he had even reached the final step.

"Within three years, I will definitely succeed in the fusion!"

As long as he successfully fuses the 'exotic fire' material using the Burning Technique, he will be able to significantly improve his mastery of the profound mysteries of the fire law.

There is no need to cultivate or contemplate it at all.

Relying on the Burning Technique to devour and fuse "Exotic Fire" materials was enough to allow him to rapidly master the complete Origin Laws of Fire.

This enabled him to devote his entire heart and energy to the Laws of Space.

It was a pity that this Burning Technique was only applicable to the cultivation of the Laws of Fire; otherwise, Jiang Luo could truly rely on devouring his way to becoming a True God.

Suddenly—

Wu He's excited voice rang out in Jiang Luo's mind: "Master, a massive suspended notice has appeared above the Gulun Continent!

"The Human Universe—Peak Strongest Battle is about to begin!"

The massive notice appeared not only above the Gulun Continent in the Virtual Universe but was also clearly visible from the Sacred Island.

In an instant, all the universe citizens on the Gulun Continent and its affiliated islands were sent into a frenzy!

"The Peak Strongest Battle is starting!"

"5,000 years ago, that Bolan's performance was simply heaven-defying. Our Gulun Universe Kingdom only had the 'Sword of Life' Yi Feng barely squeeze into the top twenty of the Genius Battle. I wonder if a peerless genius will emerge from this Strongest Battle..."

"There definitely will be! The Strongest Battle is much more interesting than the Genius Battle; every session sees dark horses emerge out of nowhere!"

"I heard the Kingdom Lord recently took in a named disciple? Perhaps he is the hope of our Gulun Universe Kingdom for this Strongest Battle."

"Heh, you're wrong there. That Jiang Luo supposedly impressed the Kingdom Lord with his performance at the Star Level, but he broke through to the Universe Level immediately after being taken in. It's only been two years since then. The clan ancestors said that while Jiang Luo might have no problem entering the top 1,000 of the 1008 Universe Kingdoms, going any higher is unlikely."

"The strongest one should still be Ji Chen from the Ancient Wheel Hall; he is Marquis Huanming's disciple after all..."

"My Imperial Father said the Huanyu Clan's Gulun branch produced a Universe Level genius who might be even stronger than Ji Chen!"

In the Virtual Universe, at the center of the Gulun Continent, stood a mountain range that pierced the clouds.

On the plaza in front of the ancient stone hall.

All 195 Universe Level members of the Ancient Wheel Hall were gathered here, each of them looking excited.

The vast majority of them had never even seen the great Kingdom Lord.

Jiang Luo stood among them as well.

He was even the focal point of the group.

His status as the Kingdom Lord's named disciple was one reason.

Although he had not challenged the Trial Tower since breaking through to the Universe Level, based on his performance in the Star Level Trial Tower, his strength was definitely ranked among the top of the 195 Universe Level elites—at the very least, in the top five!

Ji Chen, Kunmo, and he were considered the three most watched geniuses among this batch of Universe Level members.

When the Gulun Kingdom Lord, appearing as a long-haired youth, walked out of the ancient stone hall, the plaza fell into instant silence.

As one of the oldest Universe Kingdom Lords among humanity, the prestige he commanded was unparalleled.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" The Universe Level elites bowed in unison.

The Gulun Kingdom Lord's gaze lingered on Jiang Luo for a moment before he said indifferently: "For this Strongest Battle, I expect each of you to enter the top 1,000 of the Gulun Universe Kingdom.

"Anyone who fails to enter the top 1,000 will be eliminated from the Ancient Wheel Hall."

The Gulun Universe Kingdom had always cultivated geniuses by selecting only the elite among elites, the geniuses among geniuses.

In the eyes of the Gulun Kingdom Lord, passing the world-sector qualifiers meant nothing.

Only geniuses capable of entering the Giant Axe Arena or the Virtual Universe Company were the true goal of the Gulun Secret Realm's cultivation.

"For those who can charge into the top 1,000 of the final tournament, depending on your ranking, I will bestow upon you corresponding contribution points. With these points, you may select one treasure from the Universe Kingdom Treasury for free," the Gulun Kingdom Lord said softly.

Select a treasure for free?

Many people's eyes lit up, and they grew excited.

The Gulun Universe Kingdom had a long history.

It was so ancient that it existed even before the five great giants were formed.

The Universe Kingdom Treasury contained many treasures that could not be found elsewhere, not even in the Virtual Universe Company or the Giant Axe Arena.

Unfortunately, they could not be bought with universe coins.

They could only be exchanged using contribution points.

And for those below the Undying level, the Genius Battle and the Strongest Battle were almost their only opportunities to acquire contribution points.

"Return now!"

Whoosh~~~

Space shifted, and the 195 Universe Level geniuses on the plaza vanished instantly.

With a thought from the Gulun Kingdom Lord, the Ancient Wheel Hall Master, 'Marquis Mo Yan', and the burly, scale-armored 'King Shaluo' appeared before him.

"Teacher!"

The Gulun Kingdom Lord nodded slightly: "How has Jiang Luo's cultivation progressed over these past two years?"

Marquis Mo Yan hesitated: "The Junior Brother has never asked me about the Origin Laws of Fire during this time, so this disciple truly does not know."

King Shaluo, standing to the side, laughed: "It seems Junior Brother Jiang has poured all his energy into the Laws of Space? No wonder his progress is so rapid."

"He has been frequently consulting me about the Nine Heavens Atlas lately; it appears he has shifted his focus back to the movement techniques of the Ten Thousand Line Flow."

"What?" Marquis Mo Yan was startled, frowning as he said, "Hasn't he already mastered the basics of the Space Strangling school? He can even execute Imprisonment; why would he divert his energy to another branch of the Laws of Space instead of delving deeper into that?"

King Shaluo shook his head: "I criticized him when he first started, but the kid's progress in the Ten Thousand Line Flow is truly fast. I estimate he might already be approaching the level of the 'Nine-Line Flow'."

"Nine-Line Flow?!" Marquis Mo Yan's eyes widened.

The 'Nine-Line Flow' is comparable to the lowest level of 'Imprisonment' in terms of profound law mysteries.

Yet, these two represent paths corresponding to entirely different high-level mysteries of the Laws of Space.

One is for teleportation, the other for strangling.

Usually, when comprehending the Laws of Space, one focuses on a single school to delve deeper until they have thoroughly grasped one mystery and gained the recognition of the Laws of Space.

Jiang Luo was actually contemplating the paths corresponding to two different mysteries simultaneously!

And he was making rapid progress in both; such comprehension...

Gulun Kingdom Lord was also slightly moved, a look of gratification appearing in his eyes: "It seems this little fellow's comprehension of the Laws of Space is indeed quite good."

Relying solely on the spatial law talent of a Flame Star Behemoth clone would not allow for such rapid progress.

The clarity of law perception is one thing.

But comprehension is what matters most.

Otherwise, wouldn't the Mosha Clan, the darlings of the Laws of Space, all be able to become Space Venerables?

In fact, most of the Mosha Clan find it difficult even to achieve immortality, let alone become Universe Venerables.

He had only taken Jiang Luo as a named disciple, not because he was dissatisfied with this young disciple's opportunities and talent, but because he wanted to observe and see just how high his comprehension truly was.

Gulun Kingdom Lord thought to himself: "Let's see how he performs in the warrior tournament; if he can satisfy me, I shall take him as a personal disciple."
