Zhang Junbao, clad in scarlet armor, narrowed the enormous blue eyes on his helmet and grabbed the scarlet liquid still clinging to Zhang Junbao body.
Suddenly, the helmet's mouth section split open, revealing nothing inside, like an empty suit of armor.
The crimson armored figure, ' Zhang Junbao,' grabbed the crimson liquid and ripped it off Zhang Junbao's body with tremendous force, even tearing a considerable amount of Zhang Junbao's flesh and blood still attached to it.
The crimson liquid clung to Zhang Junbao's body, corroding half of his form and penetrating deep into his cells and even genes, attempting to completely devour him. However, the crimson armor ' Zhang Junbao ' was able to hold this liquid, formed from the armor itself, firmly in its grasp. No matter how the crimson liquid struggled, the crimson armor ' Zhang Junbao ' remained unmoved, like a ruthless Killer.
Having successfully acquired the opponent's genes, the crimson armor ' Zhang Junbao ' is essentially of the same race as this mass of crimson liquid, and will not allow the opponent to escape.
Seeing the struggling crimson liquid in his hand, the crimson-armored ' Zhang Junbao ' stuffed it directly into his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.
The crimson liquid tried to struggle and escape, but it seemed as if a huge suction force was pulling it in from within the crimson armored Zhang Junbao. As he closed his mouth, the crimson liquid that had nearly killed Zhang Junbao completely disappeared.
"Call..."
Zhang Junbao fell into the void, panting heavily. The danger he had just faced was even greater than when the Demon Venerable Luanshen's Soul Splitting invaded his soul.
The Demon Venerable Luanshen's Soul Splitting Technique could at least be temporarily resisted using the secret techniques of space and time, but this crimson liquid directly penetrated into Zhang Junbao's cells, attempting to devour him entirely, which was even more terrifying than soul possession.
"My lord, I have obtained some very interesting information!" After a moment, without speaking, a deep voice came from within the crimson armor ' Zhang Junbao '.
"Yes, I felt it too." Zhang Junbao, who had narrowly escaped death, got up and began to process the information in his mind.
The appearance of the scarlet armor Clone signifies that Zhang Junbao has successfully inherited the Ancestral God's One Qi Transforms into Three Purities secret technique. He has conceived his first Clone, but the characteristics of this Clone surprised Zhang Junbao greatly.
" Special Lifeform from the universe... This armor is actually from Special Lifeform from the universe! Life Gene Level of 50 times is considered very low for Special Lifeform form."
However, these Special Lifeform actually exist in groups!
After the original cell successfully conceived the Clone, Zhang Junbao obtained some of the Clone's inherited memories, including the Life Gene Level and race.
"Master, are you alright?" Seeing that Zhang Junbao was safe and sound, Feitian breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she had already confirmed that the armor was inanimate, yet it still managed to attack Zhang Junbao.
"It's nothing," Zhang Junbao said with a smile.
"It's all my fault. I didn't investigate carefully enough. I didn't expect that armor could actually attack," Feitian said remorsefully. As Zhang Junbao's Intelligent Life, her task was to assist Zhang Junbao in controlling all the mechanical devices. It was because of her conclusion that Zhang Junbao touched the armor.
"It's not your fault. That armor is more like the remains of Special Lifeform life form than Special Lifeform from the universe. It has no soul and no consciousness. So it's normal that your scanning equipment couldn't detect it."
"The attack just now was simply the instinct of this Special Lifeform form," said Zhang Junbao, the one in the scarlet armor.
"Without a soul, without consciousness, how can it still attack?"
"That armor belongs to a Special Lifeform in the universe, a peculiar race called ' Battle Armor,' which can be considered a type of Metal Lifeform."
It has two Innate Secret Technique: the first is the Innate Secret Technique ' Treasure Devouring ', which allows it to devour various treasures in the universe to enhance its strength, including all life forms.
The second talent is called ' Armor Transformation '. As Metal Lifeform, the ' Battle Armor ' race can increase their defense at the cost of losing most of their consciousness and mobility. However, after using the ' Armor Transformation ' secret technique, they almost completely lose their mobility. During battle, some members of the Battle Armor Clan will choose to Armor Transformation, attaching themselves to a member of their race to enhance that member's defense.
"After fusing with the original armor, I found a faint fragment of a soul within it, which still retained some memories."
The original owner of this armor was named ' Jiadu,' a genius of the ' Battle Armor ' clan. However, he escaped from his clan and accidentally stumbled upon this place while wandering the universe."
"Since they are Special Lifeform belonging to a specific race, there should be records of them on the Virtual Universe Network. Why can't I find any information about them?"
"The star field where the Battle Armor Clan lived was very far from the Human Territory, and belonged to the Demon Race Territory. However, according to Jiadu's memories, their clan had already been wiped out."
The crimson Jiadu we see is likely that of the last remaining member of the Battle Armor Clan in the universe.
"The entire race was wiped out? This is Special Lifeform form in the universe! In terms of talent and strength, they far surpass ordinary races. Who could possibly destroy them?" Feitian asked in surprise.
The Original Universe gave birth to countless races, but the vast majority of them were weak and of average talent. If they encountered races from other universes, being wiped out was not a rare occurrence in the universe.
If it weren't for Zhang Junbao, Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God, Earthling would likely have been completely wiped out during the Golden Horned Beast's attack, without even having the chance to enter space.
Having witnessed the cold cruelty of the universe, the annihilation of ordinary races is not uncommon. However, the fact that a powerful Special Lifeform in the universe was also wiped out suggests that their opponents were incredibly powerful.
"In Jiadu's memories, there remains an intense resentment towards the Demon Race, whose race was wiped out by the Sirius clan within the Demon Race Heavenly Wolf Clan."
The Heavenly Wolf Clan wanted the Battle Armor Clan to become their vassals, since the Battle Armor Clan, capable of growing by Treasure Devouring, was essentially a piece of armor with extremely high growth potential. After using the Innate Secret Technique ' Armor Transformation ', most of the Battle Armor Clan's consciousness would be sealed, retaining only their instinctive perception of external dangers.
Such Special Lifeform possess extremely strong support capabilities, so it's no wonder the Heavenly Wolf Clan wanted them to become a subordinate race.
"However, the Battle Armor Clan, as Special Lifeform in the universe, is extremely arrogant and would rather die than submit. As a result, a powerful Demon Race descended upon the Battle Armor Clan and annihilated them."
After listening to Zhang Junbao, the Crimson Armor user, explain, even Feitian, an Intelligent Life, couldn't help but sigh, "The universe is cold and cruel; only strength can protect everything. Without strength, even the greatest talent will only make you a tool for other races."
The Heavenly Wolf Clan wanted to subdue the Battle Armor Clan because they hoped the Battle Armor Clan could become their battle armor, just like ordinary Metal Lifeform are fused into combat suits and armor.
However, ordinary Metal Lifeform are not very intelligent and their souls are incomplete. They can Soul Imprint of other races and become like weapons.
The Void Whale Spaceship that Venerable Guiyi gave to Zhang Junbao was an F-class spaceship in which a rare Metal Lifeform, the Void Whale, was fused.
Some powerful individuals fuse their Metal Lifeform with their battle suits and armor to enhance their defensive capabilities. While the Battle Armor Clan cannot fuse with ordinary battle suits, their other Innate Secret Technique, ' Treasure Devouring,' is itself an extremely formidable Innate Secret Technique.
Devouring other treasures to strengthen itself is all preparation for transforming into the armor.
Unfortunately, the Battle Armor Clan was proud and unwilling to become a tool or appendage of the Demon Race, ultimately leading to their extermination.
"Master, what's the deal with Jiadu? You just said he's dead?"
"That's right, now I finally understand why the Demon Venerable Luanshen has been unable to recognize the Heart of Time and Space his master for so many decades. Jiadu discovered it very early, even earlier than the Demon Venerable Luanshen."
His clan was wiped out by the Demon Race two hundred million epochs ago, and he was the only one who escaped because he was training outside. However, after the Demon Race exterminated the Battle Armor Clan, they also learned that he was the only one left in the universe, so they went around capturing Jiadu. After that, he went on the run in the universe.
He mistakenly entered the Chaotic God Demon Domain, discovered the existence of the Heart of Time and Space, and wanted to devour it to strengthen his own power. However, he did not meet the conditions for the Heart of Time and Space and Space to recognize him as its master, and the result of his forced devouring was that his consciousness was completely shattered by the Heart of Time and Space.
Before his death, Jiadu used his Innate Secret Technique, Armor Transformation, and the Heart of Time and Space merged with his body, forming the crimson armor we saw earlier.
"When Jiadu arrived here, he was only at the level of Domain Lord, and his consciousness was shattered by the Heart of Time and Space. However, his body unexpectedly merged with the Heart of Time and Space, causing the Heart of Time and Space to possess certain characteristics of the Battle Armor Clan, making it impossible for it to be recognized as a master."
Zhang Junbao's true form continued, " The Demon Venerable Luanshen was also unlucky. He wanted to seize the Heart of Time and Space and comprehend the entire spacetime. However, Jiadu put the Heart of Time and Space in a semi-shutdown state, making it unable to be recognized as a master."
And so they've been locked in a stalemate with the Demon Venerable Luanshen for so long.
Zhang Junbao suddenly felt a little sorry for the Demon Venerable Luanshen. In order to rescue the Original Ancestor, he traveled all over the universe in search of the power to become stronger. He finally discovered this secret realm, but he just happened to encounter a Heart of Time and Space that could not be recognized as a master, which forcibly shattered his consciousness and trapped him for countless epochs.
Although the Demon Venerable Luanshen has regained consciousness, he can only look at his Soul Splitting with longing and dare not even approach it, for fear that his hard-won consciousness will be scattered again.
"However, the Heart of Time and Space, after fusing with Jiadu's body, can indeed defend against Soul Attack, and my Clone, after devouring his body as a treasure, also possesses the same ability."
Zhang Junbao, clad in scarlet armor, nodded and said, "That's right. Although the Life Gene Level of the Battle Armor Clan is only 50 times, which is very low among Special Lifeform in the universe, their Innate Secret Technique, ' Treasure Devouring,' can strengthen themselves by constantly Treasure Devouring and life forms."
Combined with the fusion gene of the Clone Secret Technique, it should have miraculous effects. At least when I need to upgrade my Life Gene Level again in the future, the chance of gene collapse will be much lower. The Battle Armor Clan's foundational gene for the Clone Secret Technique is quite excellent!
"From now on, I am not only Clone, but also the armor of the original body. Moreover, the Heart of Time and Space and Space has already fused with Jiadu's body. After I used my Innate Secret Technique ' Treasure Devouring ' to absorb his body, the Heart of Time and Space has transferred into my body. The mission has been accomplished!"
"Great! Now Master has Clone too! Space adventures are much safer with Clone than without Clone!"
" Feitian, although I am just Clone, my consciousness is the same. How could you treat me as cannon fodder!" Zhang Junbao, in scarlet armor, grabbed Feitian and said viciously.
"No way! From now on, I'll have two identical masters. Two masters, double the happiness! It's wonderful!"
The crimson-armored Zhang Junbao ignored Feitian and addressed the real Zhang Junbao, saying, "My true self, although I have obtained the Heart of Time and Space, the Demon Venerable Luanshen's guess was correct; this Heart of Time and Space and Space is incomplete, containing only half of the Space-Time Law."
"Half of the Space-Time Law mean that the other half of the secret realm is highly likely to exist! First there was the Bagua, and now there's the division between Yin and Yang spacetime. I'm becoming more and more interested in this secret realm."
The power of Yin and Yang and the Bagua on Earth was actually verified in this secret realm. The theories of Earth's ancient sages were indeed closely related to the Secret Pattern Diagram.
If one attempts to use Law and secret methods to depict the mysteries of the Universe Origin, then perhaps the source of everything truly is cosmic Chaos.
Zhang Junbao stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes sweeping across the space. If the previous eight Law Core were the eight directions in the Taiji Eight Trigrams Diagram, then the Heart of Time and Space in his Clone was the Taiji eye in the Taiji Yin Yang diagram.
" The Heart of Time and Space within me depicts the ultimate masculine principle of time and space; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the ' Heart of Extreme Yang.' Therefore, the armor I've transformed into is the ' Extreme Yang Soul-Suppressing Armor '!"
"' Extreme Yang Soul-Suppressing Armor ', a fitting name. Fusion with the Heart of Extreme Yang, it can defend against Soul Secret Technique attacks and suppress the soul. The name 'Extreme Yang Soul-Suppressing Armor' is truly apt."
Zhang Junbao nodded. The feeling of having Clone was quite wonderful. Although the two bodies shared the same thoughts and could know each other's ideas in real time, they also had independent thoughts. They were truly like two versions of themselves, rather than a soul puppet that needed to be controlled. It was a very wonderful feeling.
" Jiadu's last remaining obsession is to seek revenge against the Demon Race and find his surviving clansmen. However, his clansmen are far away within the Demon Race Territory, so it will probably be difficult for him to do so," said the Extreme Yang Clone.
"That's not necessarily true. The Demon Race is a formidable enemy just like our Human Race. The demon beasts on Earth were branches of the Demon Race. Since the Demon Race can survive in Human Territory, it's not impossible that we might invade their Demon Race Territory in the future," Zhang Junbao said.
"Hahaha... Although this trial in the Purgatory Abyss was fraught with danger, the gains were plentiful, and our strength is now vastly different from what it used to be. When we become World Lord and Immortal, what harm is there in venturing into the Demon Race Territory!" The Extreme Yang Clone laughed as he spoke.
"And me too! I'll always be there to adventure through the universe with you. What are Demon Race? They're nothing but trash in front of Master!" Feitian said excitedly, waving her little fist.
" The Demon Race and the Zerg are destined to be enemies of our Human Race in the future. Since that's the case, why not find a way to weaken them first?"
"You mean..." The Extreme Yang Clone glanced at Zhang Junbao and immediately understood.
"It cannot be spoken, it cannot be spoken..."
"Damn it, Master, you've been talking to the two Clone for so long, but I'm the only one who doesn't know! That's not fair!" Seeing Zhang Junbao and the Extreme Yang Clone exchanging cryptic words, Feitian was immediately displeased; she hadn't understood a single word.
"Haha, you'll see in time. Right now, let's figure out how to get out of here. My sudden disappearance must have Senior Brother Luanshen getting impatient."
"No problem, watch me!"
The Extreme Yang Clone used his hand as a blade and slashed down, immediately creating a spatial rift in front of them. Through the spatial rift, they could see the Soul Splitting of the Demon Venerable Luanshen wandering around outside.
"Walk!"
Zhang Junbao swiftly passed through the spatial rift and returned to the Chaotic God Demon Domain.
The Demon Venerable Luanshen, who had been waiting on the periphery, noticed that Zhang Junbao's aura had suddenly disappeared. He felt extremely guilty, but faced with his own Innate Secret Technique, he dared not recklessly venture out. He could only accelerate the speed at which he devoured the wandering Soul Splitting.
After millions of years of accumulation, the number of Soul Splitting Demon Venerable Luanshen had reached an extremely large quantity. It would be far too inefficient for him to devour them one by one.
Suddenly, the Demon Venerable Luanshen noticed a strong spatial fluctuation at the location of the Heart of Time and Space, from which Zhang Junbao emerged.
"It's Junior Brother, he's not dead!"
Seeing that Zhang Junbao was unharmed, the Demon Venerable Luanshen breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Junbao inherited the legacy of his teacher, the Original Ancestor. If Zhang Junbao had died because of him, the Demon Venerable Luanshen would probably never have peace of mind.
" Senior Brother Luanshen, are you ready!"
"Soul Suppressor!"
Zhang Junbao roared as his entire body was covered by a scarlet armor. The armor, resembling insect shells, covered Zhang Junbao, but the helmet was not originally insect-shaped. Instead, it had the style of modern space armor. The original blue helmet, which resembled insect compound eyes, had been transformed into a fully transparent helmet, with a faint red glow emanating from its surroundings.
The Extreme Yang Clone used its Innate Secret Technique ' Armor Transformation ' to wear itself as armor on Zhang Junbao's main body, while simultaneously activating the power of the Eye of Extreme Yang to suppress the surrounding Soul Splitting.
Demon Venerable Luanshen saw the Soul-Suppressing Power emanating from Zhang Junbao, he knew that he had succeeded. He immediately transformed into a gigantic face, a massive abyss maw tens of thousands of kilometers in size, and with a sudden inhale, frantically sucked the other Soul Splitting into his body.
With the soul-suppressing effect of the Eye of Extreme Yang in Zhang Junbao's hands, the Demon Venerable Luanshen no longer needs to worry about the countless soul memories impacting his hard-won restored consciousness and destroying it again.
The Demon Venerable Luanshen devoured at an extremely fast speed. All the Soul Splitting he absorbed into his body merged into his body, and his originally ethereal body began to solidify and rapidly expand.
The giant Soul Splitting that had been chasing Zhang Junbao tried to resist, but its strength was far inferior to that of the current Demon Venerable Luanshen. Its enormous face gradually distorted under the Demon Venerable Luanshen's devouring, and finally turned into a stream of Flowing Light that flew into the Demon Venerable Luanshen's mouth.
Looking at the Demon Venerable Luanshen, whose boundaries were no longer visible in the void, Zhang Junbao was deeply shocked. "Is this the true divine body of Special Lifeform in the universe, a peak Universe Venerable? It's too enormous!"
From the moment a god attains Immortal, the size of their divine body determines how much Divine Power they can store, and the amount of Divine Power greatly affects their combat strength.
If an Immortal with a divine body the size of an ordinary human were to fight Immortal with a divine body spanning thousands of kilometers, and if both were at the same level, the one with the smaller divine body would inevitably lose.
The sheer power unleashed by both sides, burning their divine Divine Power, was on a completely different level.
Immortal God a massive divine body, even if he burns only one percent of his Divine Power, is still stronger than Immortal God of ordinary human size burning all his Divine Power. With such a difference, it is impossible for them to fight.
One reason why cosmic Starry Sky Behemoth are powerful enough to overwhelm their counterparts is their immense size, comparable to planets. The Divine Power stored within them alone is enough to drive other Immortal God to despair.
As Special Lifeform in the universe, the Demon Venerable Luanshen's Life Gene Level is more than 1,000 times higher. After hundreds of millions of years of accumulation, no one knows exactly how big his body is.
Even the Demon Venerable Luanshen himself might not know the true size of his divine body, but there is no doubt that it is absolutely despair-inducing.
