After leaving the Hongya Secret Realm, Luo Ao quickly returned to the Human Territory through the Divine Kingdom Teleportation of his servants.
It's worth mentioning that Lord Xiwu also came along with him.
Inside the tranquil hall, only two people were alone.
"Are you really sure you've made up your mind? You won't go back on your word?" At this moment, Luo Ao sat on the throne, looking at the Lord Xiwu with a playful expression.
"I have never broken my word. If you successfully help me kill that Xuanyi, I will truly acknowledge you as my master." Lord Xiwu's azure eyes were calm, but the promise she made carried considerable weight.
It should be noted that although she had previously addressed Luo Ao as "master," their relationship was at most that of superior and subordinate; she couldn't possibly obey every order. She couldn't possibly follow his orders to commit suicide, could she?
However, according to the agreement they just reached, if Luo Ao helps him successfully avenge himself, Lord Xiwu will voluntarily open his mind and become Luo Ao's Soul Slave.
With the strength of Lord Xiwu, Top Universe Overlord, even the Universe Master would find it almost impossible to enslave her.
After all, the stronger the opponent, the more difficult it is to knock them into a deep sleep.
For King-level Immortal, their divine bodies usually fall into slumber when they lose a little over 10% of their original strength. However, the will of the Universe Overlord is incredibly powerful. Even if their divine bodies are reduced to 5% or 3%, they can still remain instantly awake and cause their divine bodies to self-destruct... It's probably only possible to make Universe Overlord fall into slumber if their divine bodies are reduced to only 1%.
However, in a real life-or-death battle, it is almost impossible to reduce the opponent to just 1% of their divine body.
"Actually, becoming my Soul Slave would actually give Lord Xiwu even more room to advance..." Luo Ao thought to himself. After all, Lord Xiwu was born in the early days of the Primal Universe and has lived for countless epochs. If she could break through, she would have done so long ago.
The reason he hasn't broken through yet is simply because he's exhausted his potential. However, becoming his Soul Slave would allow him to share in the special energy of the Myriad Worlds Pearl and enhance his talent, which might just enable him to take that final step. If he could gain a servant of Universe Master, that would be a huge win.
"I will seriously consider killing the ' Demon Lord Xuanyi.' However, it will require an opportune moment. I can't just go directly to the Core Land of the Nine Domains Alliance to kill him." Luo Ao tapped his fingers on the edge of the throne, analyzing the information about the Demon Lord Xuanyi in his mind.
The Demon Lord Xuanyi was also born in the early stages of the Primal Universe. He was a figure from the same era as the Star Prison Demon Lord and belonged to the Nine Domains Alliance.
" The Nine Domains Alliance doesn't have the Universe Supreme Master stationed there. If it were in a special, dangerous secret realm, it would indeed be worth a try..."
Although the Nine Domains Alliance doesn't have the Universe Supreme Master, it still has more than ten Universe Master. He doesn't yet have the strength to run rampant in their stronghold. But if they were in a secret realm or dangerous place outside, especially a special location like the Primal Star, it would be much easier for him to kill them.
"However, there's still some time before the Primal Star opens. We can only hope to encounter other special circumstances along the way," Luo Ao pondered to himself.
Regarding the grudge between Lord Xiwu and the other party, Luo Ao didn't ask further. However, he could guess as much.
The Demon Lord Xuanyi was not Special Lifeform, yet he has now risen to become Top Universe Overlord. How he did it is self-evident.
Virtual Universe.
Thunder Island, on the mountainside of the Central Mountain Range.
This is an incomparably majestic mountain range. The Universe Venerable are all palace complexes, with servants, disciples, and nominal disciples in abundance. Each palace complex is hundreds of thousands or even millions of kilometers in diameter, yet they seem like mere embellishments on the mountainside. This shows just how vast the Central Mountain Range is.
Whoosh!
Luo Ao flew along the mountainside, searching for a suitable place.
" Asura Venerable." A voice rang out.
"Hmm?" Luo Ao turned his head and saw a figure flying in from a distance. It was none other than the Ghost Horn Venerable, who was wearing purple armor and had two black horns on his head.
" The Ghost Horn Venerable." Luo Ao smiled and nodded upon seeing the newcomer.
" Asura, this is your first time on Thunder Mountain. You're here to build a palace, aren't you?" Ghost Horn Venerable greeted Luo Ao warmly, while secretly thinking to himself, "This Asura Venerable, being hidden and secretly nurtured by the Lord of Ice Peak, must have very high potential. Moreover, as the Lord of Ice Peak's disciple, his treasures are probably much better than ours."
Universe Venerable with high potential, powerful backgrounds, and valuable treasures are very popular among other Universe Venerable. Teaming up with them to enter dangerous Cosmic Secret Realm might allow them to pull out a trump card to turn the tide of battle in a desperate situation.
After all, the strength and status between Universe Venerable Universe Venerable are completely different. Those of Intermediate Venerable and Elementary Venerable Venerables almost never have Supreme Treasure. Among the High Universe Venerable, only a very few possess such a Supreme Treasure.
As far as he knew, when this Asura Venerable had just broken through, his clan bestowed upon him a Supreme Treasure. In addition, his teacher had probably also given him other treasures, so his wealth was definitely greater than that of those of them who had no background.
"Hehe, this is indeed my first time here. The scenery here is quite nice." Luo Ao replied while choosing a spot he liked.
This was indeed his first time visiting Thunder Island. Previously, when he sought advice from the Silver Moon Palace Master, he had always gone directly to the Silver Moon Palace Master's exclusive virtual dimension.
"Hehe, Asura, to be honest, I, Ghost Horn, don't have many people I admire, but I truly admire your forbearance." Ghost Horn Venerable, wanting to be on good terms, naturally only said the positive things.
"Our Human Race has produced many super geniuses, but many of them have perished prematurely because they lack patience. Asura, you were able to cultivate diligently and reach the level of Universe Venerable. That's truly remarkable!" Ghost Horn Venerable praised while giving a thumbs up.
"Haha, Ghost Horn Venerable, you flatter me..." Luo Ao was embarrassed, but at the same time he also thought that Ghost Horn Venerable was a wonderful person.
Finally, Luo Ao selected a good location and an architectural style, and the Virtual Universe automatically created a huge palace complex for him. From then on, this became Luo Ao's territory.
" The Asura Palace, not bad, not bad." Ghost Horn Venerable, standing to the side, also repeatedly praised the beautiful and grand design of these palaces.
" Ghost Horn Venerable, why don't you come in and have a seat?" Since he's been following him all this way, Luo Ao had no reason not to let him in.
"Then I'll take my leave, Asura..." Ghost Horn Venerable smiled and followed Luo Ao into the main hall.
The two chatted for a long time before Ghost Horn Venerable finally returned home satisfied.
"So he wanted to drag me along to explore a new secret realm..." Luo Ao watched the departing figure of the Ghost Horn Venerable and couldn't help but find it amusing. Sure enough, if someone is being unusually helpful, they must want something from him.
"However, a secret realm that even Ghost Horn Venerable and Blue Wing Venerable find troublesome might indeed be worth checking out." Ghost Horn Venerable and Blue Wing Venerable are both considered High Venerable, and Cosmic Secret Realm that even High Venerable feel 'unsafe' is quite rare.
"How exactly should we explore the bloodline of the Yan God Race?" After getting acquainted with some other Universe Venerable who came to offer their congratulations at Thunder Mountain, Luo Ao resumed his secluded cultivation. This time, however, his main focus was on exploring the mysteries of the Yan God Race's bloodline itself.
"Bloodline itself..." The Yan God Race Clone was completely absorbed in the minute details of its own body, trying to find something different within it.
"My current physical structure is indeed quite perfect..." Luo Ao examined this unique and perfect structure, but with his current perspective, he could not see any deeper secrets.
"Perhaps I can try a different approach..." Luo Ao's thoughts raced as he searched through the Virtual Universe Company for many extremely unique Body Amplitude Secret Technique, such as the " Star Prison Demon Body " and the " Rock Soul Body."
The mainstream Body Amplitude Secret Technique in the universe actually fall into two categories. One category is linked to Laws; the higher the level of Law Comprehension, the greater the vibration. The other category starts from the body's structure.
The former has strict requirements on the level of Laws, while the latter has strict requirements on the body itself. For example, the Golden Horned Beast Clan, with its Universe Pinnacle Bloodline, has a special Amplitude Secret Technique called " World of Self ".
This " World of Self " is, to put it simply, a special secret technique that allows the Golden Horned Beast to grow larger or smaller! This "shrinking" and "growing larger" may seem ordinary, but it is actually a terrifying ability.
It should be noted that all those who reach the stage of Immortal God possess the ability to freely change the size of their divine bodies. However, such enlargement or shrinking does not enhance their strength; on the contrary, it weakens them. But by using a special secret technique similar to " The World of Self," one's own strength and speed increase by the same factor as the divine body increases or decreases.
Of course, the Golden Horned Beast's secret technique has a limit of 36 times.
" Star Prison Demon Body " is also a special Body Amplitude Secret Technique created by the Star Prison Demon Lord. It has a higher upper limit, but it is also more difficult to cultivate.
After all, the ' Star Prison Demon Body ' was created by the Star Prison Demon Lord specifically based on his own physical characteristics, so it would be difficult for others to cultivate it and they would not be able to achieve great success.
Similar secret techniques like " Rock Soul Body " follow the same principle, including " World of Self," which requires the special talent of the Golden Horned Beast and many precious materials to be successfully cultivated.
"These secret techniques are impossible for other races to master, but their underlying principles are largely the same." Luo Ao continued to research and quickly discovered the common ideas behind the creators of these secret techniques.
"Growing larger, shrinking smaller, and stabilizing..."
These three things are common to almost all such secret techniques.
"As long as you can maintain your stability while controlling your divine body to grow larger and smaller, the amplification is successful..." Unlike Laws- based Amplitude Secret Technique that resonate with the Universe Origin Law, this kind of pure growth and shrinking has a very simple principle.
However, without the assistance of special talents, most normal races in the universe, such as Human Race and most Demon Race, cannot achieve this. Even if they can barely do it with the help of treasures, they cannot increase the effect by a large margin. They basically have to use it in conjunction with Laws Amplitude Secret Technique.
"Give it a try." The principle behind the secret techniques for growing bigger and smaller is not complicated, so Luo Ao only glanced through a few secret manuals before quickly starting to try it out.
"Small, small, small..." Following this principle, Luo Ao began to 'compress' his own divine body.
Before Immortal, such secret techniques would compress the density of one's bones and muscles, making one's destructive power even more terrifying. After Immortal, when the body transforms into Immortal Divine Body, it becomes even purer, which is to directly 'compress divine power'.
Once you reach Immortal, the so-called difference in basic power actually refers to the difference in the 'quality' of divine power.
From Immortal to Universe Venerable, and from Universe Venerable to Universe Master, the 'quality' of divine power has increased a hundredfold.
Since you are an Immortal God, if you can use this kind of secret technique to amplify it by 100 times, then the 'density' of this Immortal Divine Power will increase by 100 times. Although the 'quantity' will also decrease by 100 times, in terms of 'quality' it will be equivalent to the divine power you have after breaking through to become a Venerable.
"Moreover, this 'compressed divine power,' after being amplified, can still take effect even when the Burning Divine Body..."
Of course, when a normal powerful being's divine body shrinks a hundredfold, the time spent fighting by Burning Divine Body will also be greatly shortened. Therefore, those who usually use this move are beings of extremely large size, either behemoths like the Golden Horned Beast or simply Special Lifeform.
"I used this move, and it actually..." Luo Ao was stunned after just one try.
At this moment, his original Flame God Clone, which was 90,000 kilometers tall, has now shrunk to less than 20,000 kilometers tall.
In terms of height, it has shrunk by about 4.64 times, and in terms of overall volume, it has shrunk to exactly one percent of its original size.
"100 times the limit of the universe, and I've already reached it?" Luo Ao was somewhat incredulous.
During the process, he felt almost no difficulty. It was as easy as eating and drinking, reaching the limit of a hundred times allowed by the Universe Origin Law in one step!
"If it weren't for the limitations imposed by the Universe Origin Law, 100 times would definitely not be the limit for the Yan God Race Clone." Luo Ao could clearly sense the state of his divine body at this moment, without the slightest discomfort or instability. In fact, if he wished, he could maintain this size indefinitely.
"Is this the true potential of the Yan God Race?" At this moment, Luo Ao had taken the first step in glimpsing the mysteries of the Yan God Race's bloodline.
