In the void, Zhang Junbao did not let this opportunity slip by. The strength of the Demon Venerable Luanshen was only a hair's breadth away from that of the Universe Master, and this time, with his countless Soul Splitting merging again, he was very likely to take this final step.
Witnessing the advancement process of a Universe Master, especially Universe Master the same cultivation path as him, is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for Zhang Junbao to enhance his understanding.
Even his Soul Slave, the Zerg Mother Emperor Isabella, was released by Zhang Junbao and stood in the void. For any cultivator, the advancement of the Demon Venerable Luanshen is a rare opportunity.
As a super strong cultivator who has integrated the Ten Great Laws cultivation, the Demon Venerable Luanshen is also a disciple of the Original Ancestor, an invincible powerhouse who dominated the Original Universe and even the Universe Ocean countless epochs ago, and whose strength was so great that the Universe Supreme Master dared not utter a sound.
Even now, the Original Ancestor's understanding of the Universe's Origin of Laws is still enough to crush the entire universe. The Virtual Universe Secret Technique he uses cover the entire Original Universe. Almost any secret technique comprehended in the Original Universe can be reproduced in the Virtual Universe. This is what makes the Original Ancestor so terrifying.
No secret technique is a secret to him.
If Zhang Junbao's True Meaning of Taiji is Secret Pattern Diagram that is sufficient to explain the mysteries of the entire universe, then the Original Ancestor has almost mastered the secret patterns of the entire Original Universe.
Even if the Demon Venerable Luanshen did not fully inherit the power of the Original Ancestor, just one percent of that power would be enough for Zhang Junbao to see the direction of the future path.
In order to better comprehend the Law fluctuations surrounding the Demon Venerable Luanshen during his advancement, Zhang Junbao took out the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation, which only had its array plate remaining. Although he had already self-destructed the other cores of the array, the remaining array plate was still incredibly powerful, even more so than before.
In his hand, the array plate of the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation was inlaid with eight Fundamental Law Core, and the Heart of Extreme Yang was also inlaid on the array plate. These nine Law Core were originally natural treasures nurtured by this Chaotic God Demon Domain, and were perfectly integrated.
Now transferred to Zhang Junbao's Zhou Heavenly Star Great Array Formation Plate, they still have a wonderful connection with each other. Even before activation, one can feel the faint power of the domain emanating from them.
With the Ancestral God Lingxi serving as the array base and coordinating with all the components, the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation in Zhang Junbao's hands is now comparable to an Ordinary Supreme Treasure, even just the array plate. If he can complete the other core components, the power of the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation will surely continue to soar.
Zhang Junbao looked at the Zhou Heavenly Star Great Array Formation Plate in his hand and said, "The eight Fundamental Law Core correspond one-to-one with the Taiji Eight Trigrams. Now that we have obtained the Heart of Extreme Yang, the Taiji Eight Trigrams Array of the core of the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation is nearing completion."
However, the Taiji Eight Trigrams requires more than just an Heart of Extreme Yang. Yin and Yang are mutually generative. The Chaotic God Demon Domain is located in the Purgatory Abyss, which is an extremely Yin place.
Taiji in the universe has two sides, Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang are both mutually restraining and mutually generating.
Within the land of extreme yin Eye of Extreme Yang, fused with the Space-Time Law, was nurtured, capable of shaking the soul. Perhaps within the other half of the secret realm, another Eye of Extreme Yin also exists.
"Since this secret realm is so closely related to the profound principles of Taiji Eight Trigrams, I believe that another secret realm must exist."
The creation of any secret realm or treasure in the universe conforms to the Universe's Origin of Laws. The only question is whether those who venture into it can comprehend its secrets, find a turning point from crisis, escape death, and discover that sliver of hope.
The Zhou Heavenly Star Great Array Formation Plate hovered continuously above Zhang Junbao's head. With the help of the array disc's power, he could clearly sense the fluctuations of the surrounding Law.
" Senior Brother Luanshen has already devoured most of the Soul Splitting, and the victory is assured. Now, it remains to be seen whether he can extract the necessary Law Comprehension from the countless Soul Splitting ' memories and take a single step into the realm of the Universe Master."
Now, Zhang Junbao has done all he can. Whether the Demon Venerable Luanshen can advance to the level of the Universe Master depends on whether he can comprehend the mystery of the unity of space and time through his own Law Comprehension over the years.
To become Universe Master, one must cultivate the Space Origin Law to perfection and fully comprehend their mysteries. Universe Master are granted the power to ' Control of Space-Time ' by the Universe Origin. Their control over a region of time and space is even stronger than that of Domain-type Supreme Treasure. It is almost impossible for ordinary Universe Venerable to fight against those of higher levels.
However, for the Demon Venerable Luanshen, as a cultivator who has fused the Ten Great Laws, advancing to the Universe Master is not simply a matter of comprehending and fusing the Space-Time Law. He also needs to completely fuse the Eight Great Fundamental Laws with the Space-Time Law in order to truly become the Universe Master controls the Ten Great Laws.
Although Zhang Junbao has not yet reached such a level of cultivation, he had previously discussed the issue of advancing to the level of the Universe Master with the Demon Venerable Luanshen.
As fellow practitioners of the Ten Great Laws, the insights gained by the Demon Venerable Luanshen were of great reference value to Zhang Junbao. If becoming Universe Venerable meant fully comprehending the Space Law and laying the foundation for the future development of Miniature Universe within one's body, then advancing to the level of Universe Master meant beginning to construct the framework for developing Miniature Universe.
That's right. Although only the Universe Supreme Master can create Miniature Universe, this doesn't mean that becoming the Universe Supreme Master has no impact on Miniature Universe.
A Universe Master achieves enlightenment solely through the cultivation of the Space-Time Law is inherently flawed compared to Universe Master achieves enlightenment through the fusion of the Ten Great Laws.
As the Demon Venerable Luanshen's Soul Splitting and fusions increased, the surrounding spacetime gradually began to be affected by him.
"Master, the surrounding spacetime is starting to be affected!" Isabella said with fear in her eyes.
The soul pressure emanating from the Demon Venerable Luanshen terrified her, the World Lord, and she couldn't help but feel an urge to prostrate herself in worship.
Fortunately, Zhang Junbao sensed Isabella's fear and enveloped her within the range of the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation, which made her feel a little better.
" Senior Brother Luanshen has already begun to exert influence on the surrounding spacetime. His Soul Splitting is almost gone, and his divine body is about to recover!"
Zhang Junbao had already seen that the void faces that were originally scattered throughout the void had now all been sucked into the mouth of the Demon Venerable Luanshen, and his divine body had swelled to an extremely exaggerated degree.
Generally, Immortal God can control the size of their divine bodies at will. However, arbitrarily changing the size of their divine bodies, whether by excessively enlarging or shrinking them, will affect their combat power. Only by maintaining their natural divine body size can they unleash their strongest combat power.
The Demon Venerable Luanshen's divine body is already close to one hundred million kilometers long. Even other Special Lifeform with enormous bodies, such as Li Volcano and the World Tree, have divine bodies that are only about one hundred million kilometers in size. The Demon Venerable Luanshen, who is also Special Lifeform, is a top-tier existence simply because of the size of his divine body.
Such a massive divine body is enough to make other powerful individuals despair. Even if they desperately try to expend their energy, they probably cannot match the speed at which his divine body recovers.
" Special Lifeform in the universe, truly worthy of being the darling of the Universe Origin. A divine body hundreds of millions of kilometers long—and this is before even advancing to the Universe Master. Once that happens, the divine body will likely grow even larger. No wonder Senior Brother Luanshen, as Universe Venerable, can contend with Universe Master."
"Roar"
In the void, the Demon Venerable Luanshen, who had absorbed all the Soul Splitting, suddenly let out a huge roar. Terrifying fluctuations of Law energy emanated from him and spread outwards throughout the Chaotic God Demon Domain, like a boulder suddenly being thrown into a calm lake.
The surrounding Origin of Laws began to converge on him, and an enormous, seven-colored vortex appeared in the void. The power of the Ten Great Laws all gathered together and surged madly toward the Demon Venerable Luanshen.
The vortex swirled and spun, carrying boundless power, its influence reaching hundreds of billions of kilometers of the surrounding void.
Zhang Junbao felt like a small boat tossed about in a raging storm, with immense power constantly impacting the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation in his hands.
"As fellow cultivators following the Ten Great Laws, the unconscious Law energy can't do anything to me yet. However, the power of Senior Brother Luanshen's advancement is far more terrifying than the scene of Universe Master's advancement recorded in the Virtual Universe Company."
Under the suppression of the Supreme Treasure- level Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation, the energy passing around Zhang Junbao's body seemed to pass through without any obstruction.
"Although I cannot withstand such massive fluctuations of Law energy, Fusion Law energy is what I excel at."
Enveloped by the grand formation, Zhang Junbao completely merged himself into the surrounding fluctuations of Law energy, just as he had when he entered the Initial Universe passage of the Original Ancestor. Such exquisite manipulation of the Law not only tested Zhang Junbao's Law Comprehension, but also constantly honed his application of the Ten Great Laws.
This is not some special secret technique, but the most fundamental manipulation of Law energy. Any secret technique is constructed by Law energy fluctuating according to specific secret patterns. What Zhang Junbao has achieved is practicing the most basic manipulation of Law energy and reaching an incredible level.
If we were to rank the manipulation of Law, Ordinary Immortal perfectly manipulating a Law's energy would be considered a perfect score of 100. But Zhang Junbao is now forcing himself to achieve a score of 150, or even 200.
Within the vortex, the Demon Venerable Luanshen unleashed an overwhelming pressure, and at the center of the enormous vortex, ten channels connected the ' Ocean of Universe Laws ' with the Demon Venerable Luanshen's God Kingdom, continuously pouring Divine Power into him.
Within the Primal Secret Region of the Virtual Universe, in the Purgatory Abyss, the Divine Power Avatar of the Chaos City Lord suddenly sensed a terrifying energy surging forth from the Eye of the Abyss, its terrifying pressure permeating the entire Purgatory Abyss.
"This is the oppressive aura of the Universe Master! The secret realm within the Eye of the Abyss contains the Universe Master!"
The Chaos City Lord's Divine Power Avatar had only a single thought flash through its mind before it was directly shattered by the boundless pressure and vanished.
At the same time, this idea was quickly conveyed to the Chaos City Lord was still fighting on the edge of Human Territory.
"Huh? My Divine Power Avatar has been destroyed?"
" The Purgatory Abyss has undergone another transformation; a terrifying pressure permeates the entire Purgatory. Is this Universe Master- level power?"
The Chaos City Lord's eyes blazed with barely concealed rage. A Universe Master hiding within the Primal Secret Region of Human Race —this was definitely not good news.
No top-tier race would dare to allow a Universe Master who is unaware of friend or foe to roam freely within its territory.
The Chaos City Lord naturally understood the kind of disaster that would be brought about if a Universe Master were to wander recklessly within Human Territory.
" Gui Yi, Longyu, my avatar left in Purgatory has been destroyed. You two must quickly enter Purgatory and investigate. Remember not to go too deep, as my avatar has sensed the pressure of the Universe Master." The Chaos City Lord quickly Venerable Guiyi and Venerable Longyu, who were stationed outside the Purgatory Abyss, through the Virtual Universe Network.
" The Universe Master?" Venerable Guiyi revealed a look of horror. A Universe Master was actually able to deceive all the powerful figures of the Virtual Universe Company and enter the Purgatory Abyss.
The Purgatory Abyss is located within the Primal Secret Region of the Human Race. This is the top secret realm of the Human Race, where not only the most outstanding geniuses of humanity reside, but also some Immortal and Universe Venerable.
If a Universe Master were to commit massacres, it would be a fatal blow to the Human Race.
"I will have the other Universe Master of my race proceed to the Purgatory Abyss immediately. Time is of the essence; you may proceed with your scouting ahead."
"Yes, teacher!"
Venerable Guiyi dared not delay; the appearance of Universe Master was a terrifying threat even to the Human Race.
The task of Venerable Guiyi was to investigate which Universe Master this was. If he was Universe Master with a clan, with a background, and the clans would deter each other, then the Human Race would not be afraid of him.
The biggest concern is a solitary Universe Master, unburdened and unattached. If he insists on ambushing Human Race genius, that would be the most difficult situation to deal with.
"We are truly beset by internal and external troubles. We must defeat the Zerg as soon as possible and return to our Primal Secret Region."
"Within this Purgatory Abyss, one strange phenomenon after another has occurred. We must thoroughly investigate and clarify the situation; otherwise, we absolutely cannot allow any more human geniuses to enter for training."
"But could all of this be related to Junbao?"
A thought suddenly popped into the mind of the Chaos City Lord: "My avatar sensed the Descent of Law Origin earlier, which seemed to contain Junbao's aura. Now, the pressure emanating from the Eye of the Abyss also feels strangely familiar."
The Chaos City Lord suddenly noticed a change in the expression on the Zerg Mother Emperor's face, as if some momentous event had occurred. Naturally, he wouldn't let this opportunity pass. The Thousand Treasure River in his hand unleashed terrifying power and slammed down fiercely, causing the Zerg Mother Emperor to let out a miserable scream.
" Chaos City Lord, how dare you hurt me!"
"What a joke! You dare to be distracted while fighting me? Today I will capture you and imprison you among my Human Race to deter such villains!"
When the Zerg Mother Emperor saw the Chaos City Lord suddenly become angry, her expression changed, and she quickly retreated.
"Withdraw!"
The Zerg Mother Emperor suddenly ordered a retreat, and she herself had already disappeared. The reason why the Zerg Mother Emperor retreated so decisively was because she had just received a message from her race that the pressure of an unfamiliar Universe Master had suddenly erupted in a secret realm within the Zerg Territory, and she was required to return to its aid immediately.
The Zerg have far fewer Universe Master than the Human Race, making it difficult to support multi-front warfare. They simply dared not allow an unfamiliar Universe Master to wreak havoc within Zerg Territory, so this invasion of the Human Race had to be abandoned.
Within the Chaotic God Demon Domain, Zhang Junbao saw that the Demon Venerable Luanshen had begun absorbing Divine Power, and knew that he had passed the most crucial step.
With the accumulation of countless epochs, the Demon Venerable Luanshen had been cultivating under the guidance of the Original Ancestor since the Primal Ancestor Era, and was the Original Ancestor's youngest disciple. However, as Special Lifeform in the universe, he was originally exceptionally talented. If he had followed normal cultivation, he would probably have become the Universe Master long ago.
It was only because the Demon Venerable Luanshen insisted on following the same path of cultivation as the Original Ancestor and merging the Ten Great Laws cultivation that he has only now advanced to the level of the Universe Master.
But all these years of accumulation have not been in vain.
After stepping into the Universe Master, the Demon Venerable Luanshen's will alone would far surpass that of ordinary Universe Master, perhaps even reaching the peak of the Universe Master.
The fusion of billions of Soul Splitting brought him not only soul memories, but also countless Law Comprehension and an incomparably powerful will.
When combined with his Innate Secret Technique, even an ordinary Universe Master would be absolutely unable to withstand him.
