Ding! Ding! Ding!

"Ding!"

"What's going on?" A deafening sound suddenly rang out in Yang Hao's mind as he immersed himself in cultivation. Even someone as powerful as him nearly jumped in fright.

"Check-in system successfully restarted!"

The voice rang out in his mind. The check-in system had actually restarted!

The prodigal son has returned! Yang Hao couldn't help thinking. If not for that voice in his mind, he would have thought his recent cultivation had driven him mad.

His last check-in had been several hundred epochs ago. He had almost forgotten he possessed the system that came standard with transmigrators.

Life with a check-in system really was good. His strength grew rapidly, and he even received special rewards at crucial moments.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, on experiencing a complete Primal Star opening period. You have earned a Universe Master-level reward!"

"Ding! In view of the host's good performance during this Primal Star opening period, a critical check-in has been triggered. The reward has been upgraded to Universe Strongest level!"

"Check in!" The check-in system had triggered a critical reward, and it was another Universe Strongest-level reward. Yang Hao checked in without hesitation.

Cultivation? How could cultivation feel as good as checking in? He would check in first and worry about the rest later.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, on a successful check-in. You have received the check-in reward: the third turn of 'Hunyuan Ten Turns'!"

After all that waiting, he had finally obtained the third turn of Hunyuan Ten Turns.

"How high can the third turn raise my life gene multiplier?" Yang Hao sensed the information that had suddenly appeared in his mind.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately began cultivating the third turn of Hunyuan Ten Turns.

A thousand epochs passed in the blink of an eye.

"Cultivating Hunyuan Ten Turns is taking longer and longer." Yang Hao hadn't expected the third turn alone to take a thousand epochs-more than ten million years.

"The Primal Star opening period only lasts a thousand epochs. I've already been in this universe for two thousand epochs." Yang Hao gazed into the distance.

Cultivating the third turn of Hunyuan Ten Turns had taken an enormous amount of time, but the increase in his strength was equally substantial.

His life gene multiplier alone had reached 6,000, while his divine body had grown dramatically to a height of ten kilometers.

"A life gene multiplier of 6,000 is about on par with my friend Venerable Liangzhu, though my divine body is much smaller than his." As Yang Hao assessed his strength, he felt more powerful than ever before.

Such a life gene multiplier was generally attainable only by unique special lifeforms.

His life gene multiplier had soared to five times its previous value of 1,200. His divine power was five times as pure, and his attack power had increased fivefold as well!

Furthermore, his divine body had grown from 300 meters tall to ten kilometers. Even some of the smaller Demon Race experts probably had divine bodies no larger than this.

"This is making my head spin. My divine body suddenly grew so much, and now I have to spend treasures to replenish my divine power." Yang Hao's divine body had grown, but he still had only as much divine power as before. To return quickly to peak condition, he could only use treasures that restored divine power.

"Oh well, I'm rich now. I'll buy some treasures from the race and restore my divine body to peak condition first." Yang Hao was a wealthy man with 6,950 supreme treasure points.

Spending a little wouldn't be excessive, would it? If he waited for his divine body to recover naturally, how many epochs would that take?

"Ultimate Universe Overlord Secret Technique, complete!" After ten thousand epochs, Yang Hao had finally created his own Ultimate Universe Overlord Secret Technique!

"I'll name this move 'Star Shard'!" Creating this Ultimate Secret Technique had essentially meant scrapping everything and starting over.

The gap between a Peak Secret Technique and an Ultimate Secret Technique was simply too vast.

He had combined the four moves of Natural Disaster-Earthquake, Tsunami, Volcano, and Hurricane-into a single move, then continued refining it. After ten thousand epochs, he had finally created the Ultimate Secret Technique, Star Shard.

"Star Shard has only one move, but it's several times stronger than the four moves of Natural Disaster were." Yang Hao recalled the many details involved in creating the secret technique.

(Some readers said my secret technique names were terrible, so I'm changing the name and starting over.)

Whoosh!

Pure divine power flowed into the Turbid Abyss Breath, and under Yang Hao's control, the space law turned utterly wild.

What looked like a simple thrust contained tremendous power. Four pairs of wings appeared behind the spear, fluttering gently as it thrust forward. All at once, they produced ten thousand feathers, each resembling the spear upon closer inspection.

The ten thousand feathers swept through the air, striking the target together with the spear.

Star Shard had been created based on the secret patterns of the Turbid Abyss Breath. Since this Supreme Treasure was formed from two spears, the rear spear was better suited to ranged attacks.

Yang Hao had fully exploited the Turbid Abyss Breath's characteristics, combining close-range and long-range attacks in a single strike. The two complemented each other, unleashing immense power.

A massive spatial rift appeared in the void struck by the Turbid Abyss Breath. Countless chaotic particle streams churned within it, generating savage destructive force.

The spatial turbulence produced by this attack alone could probably kill most immortals outright.

Boom!

An enormous black hole exploded. With a mass exceeding that of two million stars and a diameter of over ten million kilometers, the immense black hole had been blown apart by a single strike of Star Shard.

The intense light far surpassed a supernova explosion. Countless fragments of matter scattered outward, forming a space-time tsunami that wreaked destruction across the surrounding ten million light-years.

"If this black hole were inside a galaxy, it would probably throw the entire galaxy into chaos." Yang Hao stood at the very center of the explosion, yet the wildly turbulent conditions felt like nothing more than a gentle breeze to him.

Yang Hao had chosen an isolated black hole in the universe to test this move. There were no large galaxies or intelligent life within ten million light-years, so the attack had caused no harmful consequences.

"Ten thousand epochs to create this move wasn't bad." Yang Hao was extremely satisfied with this Ultimate Universe Overlord Secret Technique.

"Even if my current strength doesn't match a Top Universe Overlord's, the gap probably isn't too large."

A life gene multiplier of 6,000, a self-created Ultimate Universe Overlord Secret Technique, and a high-grade offensive Supreme Treasure.

With such strength, he could rank among the top five below the Universe Masters in the Hong Alliance.

"Hm?" Yang Hao suddenly realized that the violent space-time tsunami produced by the black hole's explosion contained many aspects of the space law and space-time law.

He had already fully comprehended the space law, but his understanding of the time law was still sorely lacking.

He immediately entered a state of cultivation, focusing his entire will on the space-time tsunami unleashed by the exploding black hole.

Hmm... not bad. After several days of cultivation, my comprehension of the time law has improved a little. It isn't much, but it's still worth hundreds of thousands of epochs of arduous cultivation, Yang Hao thought as he looked at the black hole's remains.

In just a few days, the destroyed black hole had finished exploding, leaving only traces of the blast behind. Its mass, equivalent to two million suns, had turned into countless fragments that swept through nearly ten million light-years of space.

Perhaps I could try cultivating near a black hole, Yang Hao thought.

Just as he was about to search for a more massive black hole, the system rang out in his mind.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, on creating your own Universe Overlord Ultimate Secret Technique. You have earned a Universe Overlord-level check-in reward!"

"Ding! The host has been detected to have created the secret technique in a relatively short time. A critical check-in has been triggered. The check-in reward has been upgraded to Universe Master level!"

"Ding! The host has been detected to have gone over ten thousand epochs without triggering the check-in system. A critical check-in has been triggered. The check-in reward has been upgraded to Universe Strongest level!"

"Ding! Ding! Ding..."

The string of dings nearly overwhelmed Yang Hao with excitement. Consecutive critical rewards had raised the reward straight from Universe Overlord level to Universe Strongest level.

"Another Universe Strongest-level reward. What will it be?" Yang Hao smiled. "Could it be the fourth turn of Hunyuan Ten Turns?"

"Forget it. I'll find out once I check in."

"System, check in!" If he couldn't figure it out, he would simply check in. Whatever the reward was, he would know once the check-in succeeded. Yang Hao went ahead without further delay.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, on a successful check-in!"

There will be another chapter tonight. Please send recommendation votes.
