As time passed, Zhang Junbao traveled by spaceship to the location of the Heart of Time and Space. The journey was deserted, leaving only a silent void, like a ghost town.
Demon Venerable Luanshen's Soul Splitting surged forth, it had already devoured all the lives along its path. Ordinary World Lord Level, and even Immortal Level beings, were simply unable to withstand the memory impact brought about by his soul fusion. Under the fusion of countless memories, their souls collapsed, their consciousness was lost, and they were completely reduced to a void face drifting in the void, searching for their next target.
Such a terrifying scene even made Zhang Junbao's heart pound. He secretly rejoiced that the Demon Venerable Luanshen was one of his own; if he were an enemy, and the Human Race were to be targeted by him, it would be difficult for them to have a peaceful day.
After all, even an Marquis Immortal cannot withstand the impact of countless memories once tainted by a trace of the Soul Splitting.
Only someone with such high mental cultivation as Zhang Junbao, who fought his way through countless memories and maintained his true self, was able to survive the Soul Splitting erosion of the Demon Venerable Luanshen.
According to Senior Brother Luanshen, his Soul Splitting Clone only possesses about 10% of the combined strength of all the Soul Splitting. The rest of the Soul Splitting are scattered throughout the entire Chaotic God Demon Domain, with at least half concentrated near the Heart of Time and Space.
In other words, if I want to get closer to the Heart of Time and Space, I will have to face more than five times the number of Soul Splitting as before!
The original less than 10% of the Soul Splitting was already enough to nearly shatter Zhang Junbao's soul. Five times the amount of the previous Soul Splitting, just thinking about it makes you realize how terrifying it is.
"Even with the suppression of the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation and the Reverse Eight Trigrams Array, the effect is not ideal. Although my mental cultivation is not bad, it will be very difficult to touch the Heart of Time and Space and recognize it as my master by relying solely on my mental state."
Zhang Junbao pondered in his heart that with the means he currently possessed, the possibility of passing the ' Soul Splitting Heart Trial ' was too low. Helpless, he could only seek the assistance of the Demon Venerable Luanshen.
" Senior Brother Luanshen, with my current cultivation level, it's quite difficult for me to withstand the soul erosion from your other Soul Splitting and to make the Heart of Time and Space recognize me as its master. I wonder if you have any methods?"
"This is indeed a difficult problem." The Demon Venerable Luanshen also fell into deep thought. He had to ensure that Zhang Junbao could withstand the erosion of the other Soul Splitting. If even Zhang Junbao fell into it, then he would probably have to wait countless epochs to recover his strength and leave the secret realm.
"To be honest, my Supreme Treasure are all superior to those of my other Soul Splitting Clone. Although, in my current state, it's highly unlikely that my Soul Splitting clones will use their Supreme Treasure to attack."
The only thing I can do is slowly merge some of the outer Soul Splitting, awaken the consciousness within Soul Splitting, and in this way I will become stronger and stronger, while the other Soul Splitting will gradually be weakened and eventually merge back into one.
However, this method is far too inefficient; it would probably take tens of thousands of epochs to fully restore one's power. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let you, junior brother, take this risk."
Considering that Zhang Junbao Zhang Junbao is currently only at the Domain Lord level, it would be quite difficult for the Demon Venerable Luanshen to make him fight against his Soul Splitting Clone.
Unable to help the Demon Venerable Luanshen recover his strength, Zhang Junbao also couldn't leave this secret realm. It was impossible for him to stay here for tens of thousands of epochs and wait for the Demon Venerable Luanshen to slowly recover on his own.
Even including his cultivation in his previous life, Zhang Junbao's lifespan is less than a thousand years. Tens of thousands of epochs are far too long for him.
Moreover, Zhang Junbao, who has not yet become Immortal, does not have a lifespan of tens of thousands of epochs. He cannot be trapped in the Chaotic God Demon Domain indefinitely, suffering slowly until he becomes the Universe Master before he can leave.
" Senior Brother Luanshen, may I borrow a fragment of your genetic material?"
Zhang Junbao still has a trump card in his hand, namely the One Qi Transforms into Three Purities Clone Secret Technique inherited from the Ancestral God. With this secret technique, Zhang Junbao has already conceived a cluster of primordial cells. As long as he splits his own soul and merges it into the primordial cells, and then lets the primordial cells devour the genes of other life forms, he can create an Clone.
However, this first absorption of the Clone is extremely crucial, serving as a foundation. Only genes with higher Life Gene Level can fuse to create more powerful Clone in the future. However, the strongest life cells Zhang Junbao currently possesses are merely the genes of the Golden Horned Beast.
Although the Golden Horned Beast is the pinnacle of the Starry Sky Behemoth, its Life Gene Level is only 10 times that of other Beasts. If it is used as the foundation gene, the probability of the Clone gene collapsing when it continues to fuse with other powerful genes in the future is too high.
According to the records of the Ancestral God in the inheritance, if the initial Gene Level reaches more than 1000 times, then the stability of further integration with other genes will be the best.
However, those Life Gene Level reaches 1000 times or more are all top-tier powerhouses in the universe. And those Special Lifeform that are born with a powerful Life Gene Level hide in the secret realm of their birth when they are weak, and never appear.
When they usually appear, they are at least at the World Lord Level. And Special Lifeform at the World Lord Level with 1000 times the Life Gene Level is not necessarily a match for even Marquis Immortal.
The strength of Marquis Immortal is generally between one thousand and ten thousand times that of World Lord Power. However, almost every Special Lifeform uses Innate Secret Technique bestowed by the Universe Origin, making them incredibly powerful and extremely strong in combat against opponents of higher levels.
Back in the Virtual Universe Company, it would have been almost impossible for Zhang Junbao to obtain the genes of Special Lifeform in the universe. Even if a powerful individual did obtain the genes of Special Lifeform Life Gene Level, they would study them themselves and would never release them.
Although the Chaos City Lord's Clone is also Special Lifeform form in the universe, Zhang Junbao is not yet of any standing to ask the Chaos City Lord to give him his genes. After all, this involves the safety of the entire Human Race in the universe. If the Chaos City Lord's genes were obtained by other races in the universe and they developed secret techniques to target the Chaos City Lord, it would be a terrible disaster for the entire Human Race in the universe.
However, isn't there already a powerful, Special Lifeform right in front of us?
The Demon Venerable Luanshen, who was so highly regarded by the Original Ancestor and accepted as a disciple, must have a very high Life Gene Level.
Zhang Junbao's trip was related to the two of them being able to leave the Chaotic God Demon Domain, so the Demon Venerable Luanshen wouldn't be stingy, would he? Zhang Junbao looked at the Demon Venerable Luanshen with great anticipation.
"Junior brother, I am Special Lifeform in the universe, with Life Gene Level that has long exceeded a thousand. Even a fragment of a cell containing life genes is worth as much as Advanced Heavy Treasure. This mission requires you to risk your life, and as your senior brother, it would be only right to give you a Heavy Treasure directly."
"But right now I am just a fragment of a Soul Splitting, without any cell fragments containing life genes. And Supreme Treasure Heavy Treasure on my body are in that main Soul Splitting, it's really not that I don't want to give them away." The Demon Venerable Luanshen said apologetically.
Then, the Demon Venerable Luanshen revealed a serious expression and said, "Next, I am about to tell you a secret about myself. You must keep it to yourself and never reveal it to anyone else."
Zhang Junbao's eyes sharpened. This involved the secrets of a unique and Special Lifeform in the universe, something that would not be revealed to anyone but someone with absolute trust.
"I will absolutely not reveal a single word about my senior's whereabouts to anyone else."
The Demon Venerable Luanshen Lord spoke, "As a Special Lifeform in the universe, my teacher named me ' Luanshen,' and I am an energy life form capable of splitting into countless Soul Splitting."
Only when all my Soul Splitting merge into one will a body resembling flesh and blood appear, and only at that time will it be possible to obtain my life genes from me.
So it's not that my senior brother is stingy or unwilling to give it to you; he's simply powerless to help.
After listening to the explanation from the Demon Venerable Luanshen, Zhang Junbao nodded, indicating his understanding.
Zhang Junbao wasn't entirely ignorant about energy lifeforms. Just like Luo Feng's Moshaa Clan Clone, which was also an energy lifeform, it was impossible for him to leave behind anything containing life genes, such as a panel, under normal circumstances. His main body was the crystal core inside his body, and the other parts of his body were made of energy and had no physical form. Only under very special circumstances could he leave behind a panel.
Therefore, it can be seen how lucky Luo Feng was back then; the Energy Life Panel was definitely an extremely rare treasure.
The same applies to the Demon Venerable Luanshen. When he appears in the form of Soul Splitting, he is merely a ethereal soul without a physical form. Only when all his Soul Splitting gather together will he manifest a body similar to Flesh-and-Blood Lifeform, and only under such circumstances can he leave behind life genes.
This creates a contradiction: the incomplete Demon Venerable Luanshen cannot provide Zhang Junbao with life genes, and Zhang Junbao, without the Demon Venerable Luanshen's life genes, cannot create Clone to ensure he passes the ' Soul Splitting Heart Trial ' test.
" Senior Brother Luanshen Luan Shen, please don't take it to heart. I was being presumptuous. As for now, I can only force my way into the Soul Splitting by relying on my mental state, which is also a test for my mental state and soul." Zhang Junbao said with a smile. Demon Venerable Luanshen Shen had told him even his most important secret, Zhang Junbao naturally did not doubt his true intentions.
However, since he could not obtain the life gene of the Demon Venerable Luanshen, his plan to use the Demon Venerable Luanshen's life gene as Clone to create an avatar also failed.
"I must cultivate Clone as soon as possible. No wonder powerful individuals with Clone are so sought after in the universe. When encountering dangerous secret realms, I can send my Clone to test them out. If I had an Clone like the Moshaa Clan, I could easily pass through Senior Brother Luanshen's ' Soul Splitting Heart Trial ' and directly seize the Heart of Time and Space."
There are very few powerful beings in the universe who possess the Clone Secret Technique. These powerful beings have a much higher chance of surviving in cosmic adventures than ordinary powerful beings because once they encounter danger, they can send their Clone to probe the danger. Even if the Clone are killed, they only lose a portion of their energy.
"Although I have no Heavy Treasure to give you, I am not without anything either. I sensed during your soul fusion that you must have consumed a treasure that could enhance your soul strength. My soul pressure caused that treasure to quickly fuse and enhance with your soul."
"Your Mental Power Amplitude should have reached around 2000 by now, right?" asked the Demon Venerable Luanshen.
"That's right, I did consume a Soul Origin Golden Fruit. I originally intended to ask a Universe Venerable to temper my soul, but before I could begin, I entered the Chaotic God Demon Domain."
" The Soul Origin Golden Fruit from the Ancient Soul Tree? It's quite suitable for you. Nourished by the Soul Origin Golden Fruit, your soul strength has increased more than a hundredfold, making it capable of withstanding even greater pressure."
Since that's the case, I will pass on a Soul Secret Technique to you, which can enhance the Mental Power Amplitude. I will also temper your soul to further enhance the Mental Power Amplitude. In this way, even without any treasures, you will be able to better resist my ' Soul Splitting Heart Trial '.
"A soul-related secret technique?" Zhang Junbao was quite surprised. Soul-related secret techniques can only be cultivated by beings with souls. In terms of profundity, the Soul Secret Technique taught by the Demon Venerable Luanshen, a peak Universe Venerable, is probably no less profound than the inheritance of the Demon Sound Divine General.
After all, even the complete Demon Sound Divine General Inheritance can only reach the Universe Venerable level. Even if the real Demon Sound Divine General came, he might not be a match for the Demon Venerable Luanshen.
"Could it be Soul Secret Technique similar to the Divine General Inheritance?" Zhang Junbao asked.
"You actually know about the Divine General Inheritance? That's quite impressive."
The Demon Venerable Luanshen smiled disdainfully and said, "I am a unique Special Lifeform in the universe, and my Innate Secret Technique is a soul-type technique. What I am about to impart to you is a soul technique that I have comprehended myself by combining my Innate Secret Technique Soul Secret Technique, not some trashy thing like the Divine General Inheritance that is everywhere."
" The Divine General Inheritance Ancestral God Sect Ancestral God Sect to select talents for their sect. They are nothing but lackeys of the Universe Origin. At best, accepting the Divine General Inheritance will only make you a Universe Venerable. It is almost impossible for you to break through further."
"Hmph, do you all really think that what the Universe Origin bestows is so easy to take?"
When mentioning the Ancestral God Sect, which has a special relationship with the Universe Origin, the Chaotic God Demon Venerable Luanshen's tone was filled with extreme disdain. He had no good feelings towards the Universe Origin that suppressed the Original Ancestor. And since the Ancestral God Sect represents the Universe Origin Will, the Demon Venerable Luanshen naturally wouldn't give it a friendly look either.
"The Soul Secret Technique I am teaching you is called ' Divine Transformation.' As long as you continuously refine your soul according to this technique, you will be able to reach my level, or even be comparable to the Universe Master."
It's ready!
Before Zhang Junbao could react, the Demon Venerable Luanshen pointed a finger at his brow, and at the same time, a massive amount of information surged into Zhang Junbao's soul.
The Innate Secret Technique of Special Lifeform in the universe are almost all secret techniques that directly point to the origin of the universe's great Dao. Although the Demon Venerable Luanshen Innate Secret Technique to Zhang Junbao, the Soul Secret Technique " Divine Transformation " that he comprehended based on his Innate Secret Technique could be passed on.
In an instant, Zhang Junbao became completely absorbed in cultivating this strange and mysterious technique.
Meanwhile, outside, the oppressive power of the Demon Venerable Luanshen's soul also enveloped Zhang Junbao, beginning to temper his soul.
Zhang Junbao would naturally not miss such a precious opportunity. Luo Feng accidentally obtained the inheritance of a Demon Sound Divine General, which caused his Mental Power Amplitude to surge from the original seventy or eighty to 3200 times, directly crushing the geniuses of the same generation.
Now, the Demon Venerable Luanshen, a peak Universe Venerable, is personally imparting Soul Secret Technique to Zhang Junbao, and with the special tempering of his soul, Zhang Junbao's Mental Power Amplitude will surely soar to an extremely terrifying level.
Zhang Junbao is about to face the ' Soul Splitting Heart Trial ', which possesses most of the soul of the Demon Venerable Luanshen. The Demon Venerable Luanshen, a Soul Splitting with a clear will, can only slowly devour the scattered Soul Splitting around him, barely reducing some of the pressure on Zhang Junbao.
Therefore, it is imperative to enhance Zhang Junbao's soul strength!
P. S.: I've been slacking off for a few days, and I feel deeply ashamed. I'm taking a day off tomorrow and will do a massive update to see how hard my liver is working. Alas...
