The third move, "Universe · Return to Ruins": entering the Primal Star

"Jixing Palace Master?"

"Qie Qiong, Jixing Palace Master!"

"The Universe Master, he's advanced directly like that?"

Whoa--!

As the Chaos City Lord finished speaking, a chorus of barely suppressed gasps erupted from below.

The three Top Universe Overlords were also greatly shocked. In such a short time, they had risen from Intermediate Universe Venerables to Universe Master. This speed of advancement was simply too fast.

Keep in mind that these three have been Top Universe Overlords for many years, and even now they still have only a sliver of hope of breaking through.

This one, however, became the Universe Master after ten thousand epochs.

"Silence!" the Lord of Ice Seal roared, and a chilling aura that penetrated to the very soul spread out, instantly silencing the gasps and murmurs below.

After the commotion subsided, the Chaos City Lord continued, "The second matter is because the Primal Star is about to open!"

"Is the Primal Star about to be activated?"

The Shi Huo Venerable, a newly promoted Universe Venerable of the same era as Qie Qiong, looked puzzled.

The other venerable ones almost all showed expressions of shock.

While Qie Qiong's ascension to the Universe Master was shocking, it wasn't really relevant to him personally. But the Primal Star was different.

The Primal Star is intimately connected to us; it's fair to say that the chance of obtaining Supreme Treasure from the Primal Star is the greatest in the entire Primordial Universe.

The Chaos City Lord said, "The Primal Star is home to all races—and this opening is no exception! If you wish to obtain Supreme Treasures and make great contributions to your race, this is your chance! You can browse for more details."

A screen of light floated in front of the numerous powerful figures sitting on their densely packed divine thrones.

The screen in front of this light displayed detailed information about the Primal Star.

After reading Zhu Huo, Zhu Huo's face showed a mixture of shock and longing.

"Ten thousand and eighty-one Primal Stars surround the Origin Land of the Universe," making it "the place closest to the Origin Land of the Universe."

It contains many treasures, but also many dangers!

Although the Primal Star is fraught with danger, it also possesses countless treasures. The most valuable treasures are not worth mentioning, and the most Supreme Treasures appear frequently.

The top experts from billions of races will engage in a frenzied battle here!

For the glory of their race, for their Supreme Treasure, every opening of the Primal Star is a brutal battle filled with mountains of corpses and seas of blood—even the Universe Master are in danger of perishing.

Despite its bloodshed and cruelty, it still attracts countless powerful individuals who are driven to madness by its allure.

This is the Core Secret Realm in the Primal Star One Universe that is closest to the origin of the universe!

"The Primal Star will open in ten years, so you can all use this time to make preparations," the Chaos City Lord said in a deep voice. "For example, finding several strong individuals with complementary abilities to form a team, or borrowing treasures from those who have no intention of going to the Primal Star —all these matters need to be properly arranged within ten years."

"Ten years from now, our Human Race will march on the Primal Star!"

The Supreme Council concluded with the calm voice of the Chaos City Lord.

Rumble~

The gates of the Hall of Gods opened, radiating Golden Light.

In an instant, all the Universe Venerables rose together, chatting and laughing as they strode towards the dazzling palace gate. With each step they entered, they transformed into streams of Flowing Light and vanished without a trace.

As for Qie Qiong, he didn't need to find someone to team up with or borrow Supreme Treasures. He only needed to continue Creation Secret Techniques and quietly wait for the Primal Star to open.

In Virtual Universe, in a private training ground.

As an existence comparable to the Universe Master, Qie Qiong's private training ground is already the most luxurious in the entire Virtual Universe, with an infinitely vast internal virtual space.

Furthermore, opponents can be arranged based on Qie Qiong's own level and arcane level.

These opponents were all the Giant Axe Founder, and their weaknesses were arranged to be the most suitable for him based on the progress of his arcane arts.

This was also agreed upon when the Clone Technique was contributed.

Although Qie Qiong is comparable to Third-Order Universe Master, he only reached that level through Supreme Treasures and ultimate techniques. His true realm is only equivalent to the peak ultimate techniques of a normal Universe Overlord, and he is only at the initial stage.

With the vision of the Giant Axe Founder, he could certainly see the flaws in his secret technique at a glance.

"Buzz~" A strange black crystal suddenly appeared in the cosmos, its entire body cut into 10,081 facets, each facet engraved with intricate golden patterns.

Streams of black energy surged out from the black crystal, and a person who looked exactly like Qie Qiong appeared.

Qie Qiong recognized at a glance that this was the second incarnation of the Universe Bully " from the original work - the Moshal Clan.

Qie Qiong didn't say much, and charged towards the Moshal Clan with his sword.

The retreat has begun.

For the next ten years, Qie Qiong spent her time in battle.

The opponents he faces are all created to exploit Qie Qiong's weaknesses, because Qie Qiong's own requirement is that if Qie Qiong kills one, another will immediately appear.

Since the original Qie Qiong had already comprehended two Peak Secret Techniques of the Universe Venerable, it wasn't a big deal at first.

In the fifth year, he started to struggle even after reaching the 1,500th floor.

Two years later, Qie Qiong passed the ninety-ninth floor again.

Time slipped away silently amidst the endless battles in the Virtual Universe training grounds.

"Qie Qiong, this newly crowned Universe Master," faces increasingly terrifying opponents.

The enemy on the 1600th floor, a Special Lifeform called "Space-Time Ephemera," trapped him with its bizarre talent in the Space-Time Law, preventing him from making any progress for three whole years.

In a shattered starfield ruin, countless distorted fragments of Space-Time, like billions of scattered mirrors, cover an area of about one light-year.

Each lens reflected Qie Qiong's figure, radiating an invisible killing intent.

The Space-Time Ephemera's innate ability is to transform into countless fragments of Space-Time, with its true form hidden within them. Attacks can erupt from any of these fragments, making them impossible to defend against.

With a Qie Qiong movement, Qieqiong's Sky-Splitting Sword suddenly shone with an unprecedented silver light, seemingly devouring all the surrounding light, and an aura that made Space-Time tremble spread out.

"Universe Return to Ruins!"

Qie Qiong's icy voice resounded through the void. This was the third move of the "Universe" secret technique, which he had honed through years of arduous cultivation and life-and-death battles.

His sword-wielding movements appeared extremely slow, yet they seemed to disregard the distance of Space-Time.

A jet-black sword light, condensed to its extreme and seemingly capable of ending all things, flew out.

This sword light carried a sense of emptiness, as if all things were returning to stillness, and pierced through layers of fragmented reflections of Space-Time, directly penetrating the very essence of space.

"Snap!"

A sound like a mirror shattering rang out.

The billions of Space-Time fragments that filled the field of vision cracked instantly, then collapsed with a bang, turning into Space-Time particles and completely dissipating.

The entire shattered star field began to perish inch by inch as the origin of Space-Time Ephemera was pierced and the fragments of Space-Time were disintegrated.

The 1600th opponent, a strange cosmic life form called "Space-Time Ephemera," was finally defeated after blocking Qie Qiong for three whole years.

The Space-Time Ephemera can transform into fragments of Space-Time, its true form remaining forever hidden, and its attacks are omnipresent.

Previously, the Space-Time Ephemera that Qie Qiong faced relied solely on its own talent to manipulate Space-Time and space to fight against Qie Qiong. Battle after battle, Qie Qiong was always suppressed and inexplicably and severely injured by its strange attacks.

Three years later, he finally created the new secret technique "Return to Ruins," which succeeded in one strike.

"Oh--"

"I don't know why, but I feel like my talent has improved so much since I completed the mission," Qie Qiong wondered.

You should know that he had remained Intermediate Universe Venerable because he had been unable to create a secret technique for a long time.

However, since the completion of the Human Race, only a few years have passed and three Peak Secret Techniques have already been created.

"Time's almost up, it's time to leave," Qie Qiong thought to himself. "I wonder what the difference is between this early arrival at the Primal Star and the ordinary one."

With a flicker of his figure, Qie Qiong exited the Virtual Universe.

Ten years is but a fleeting moment on a cosmic scale.

The 10,081 channels of the Primal Star are like key nodes scattered throughout the Primal Universe.

One of the Passage No. 88, has its entrance located in a relatively empty, endless starry sky.

At this moment, the once quiet and peaceful starry sky is no longer quiet.

An invisible pressure permeated the void.

One after another, beings exuding a grand aura were already waiting here.

They are all powerful Universe Master, the pinnacle of human power within the Hong Alliance, and Top Universe Overlords with Universe Master lords.

As for the larger number of ordinary Universe Venerables, they were scattered at other entrances, led by a small number of Universe Master or overlords from the Hongmeng Alliance.

Chaos City Lord, Lord of Darkness, Lord of Ice Peak, Lord Long Xing, Jixing Palace Master —one after another, the Human Race's powerful Universe Master floated in the void, their wills seemingly controlling this Space-Time.

A short distance away from them were the two Top Universe Overlords of the Human Race, the Tian Shi Palace Master and the Ancestor Tree Venerable, as well as a few allies from the Hongmeng Alliance Alien Races whose strength had reached the level of Top Overlords.

At this moment, Qie Qiong was also standing among this group of top experts.

He was clad in silver-gold armor, exuding a calm and composed aura.

His appearance also drew complex glances from those Top Universe Overlords, a mixture of respect and a touch of unspoken emotion.

Lord Youhou quietly approached Qie Qiong. He was still dressed in a simple black shirt and silver-black armor, and asked Qie Qiong, "Jixing Palace Master, how does it feel to venture into the Primal Star for the first time? Would you like to come with me? This godforsaken place is full of treasures, but it's also very treacherous. With me by your side, you can at least avoid some detours."

Although Lord Youhou is the youngest Universe Master among humans, he has been at the third level for a long time. He is powerful and experienced. He took the initiative to propose forming a team, obviously because he was worried that this talented but inexperienced "newcomer" would suffer in the complex environment of the Primal Star.

Upon hearing Qie Qiong, Qie Qiong looked at Lord Youhou with his silver-gold eyes, revealing a hint of gratitude, but then shook his head. "Thank you for your kindness Lord Youhou. However, I am used to exploring alone, but if there is a need to join forces in the future, I will not hesitate."

His voice was calm yet full of confidence.

"With his clone and the Peak Supreme Treasure, the Silent Star Palace," he certainly had the confidence to venture out on his own.

More importantly, he knew that most strong individuals only truly unleash their potential in battle.

Lord Youhou gave him a deep look, and seeing that his mind was made up, he didn't press the matter further. He grinned and said, "Alright! Then I wish you a successful start and that you bring back many Supreme Treasures! But be careful." He patted Qie Qiong's shoulder and said nothing more.

At this very moment -

"Boom--"

The once calm universe began to tremble, and an invisible electromagnetic storm emerged without warning, instantly sweeping across the starry sky.

Space itself twisted and vibrated violently, groaning under the immense pressure.

"Here we go!"

"The passage is about to open!"

"Although it's not the first time I've witnessed it, the immense power of the Universe Origin is always awe-inspiring."

The waiting Hongmeng Alliance powerhouses perked up, their gazes fixed intently on the heart of the storm.

Even the expressions of those Universe Master began to focus.

Even they, when faced with the Primal Universe, must maintain sufficient awe.

Not long after.

The vortex at the center of the electromagnetic storm has expanded to a diameter of tens of billions of kilometers, and the pressure it emits is enough to instantly crush ordinary Immortal Gods into nothingness.

"The Original Star Passage has been opened."

The powerful figures who had been waiting for a long time finally took action.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Streams of Flowing Light, some riding on flying Palace Supreme Treasure of various shapes and sizes, others entering directly with their divine bodies, all rushed resolutely into the Vortex Passage.

The Primal Star has 10,081 channels, like 10,081 giant mouths simultaneously opened in the universe.

With the official opening of all the passages, the major forces composed of billions of races in the universe, as well as Universe Venerables, Universe Overlords, and even true Universe Masters, continuously entered this mysterious place closest to the Universe Origin — the Primal Star —through these passages that span the entire universe!

After the passage opened, Qie Qiong entered the Silent Star Palace "Silent Star Palace and directly controlled it to move deeper into the passage.

10,081 Primal Stars, like 10,081 enormous grinding mills of flesh and blood—the bloody slaughter began.

As the majestic Silent Star Palace passed through the Cosmic Passage, the Qie Qiong was directly above a Primal Star.

Each of these Primal Stars is the same size, with a diameter of approximately 100 billion kilometers!

Moreover, Qie Qiong sensed that the spatial fluctuations here had stopped, and there was a powerful pressure. If an ordinary Immortal God came here, he would probably be instantly reduced to nothingness.

Furthermore, because space is completely frozen here, teleportation and Divine Kingdom Teleportation are entirely impossible.

The immense pressure, coupled with the fact that the Primal Star, which was not large to the Universe Venerable, required an even greater amount of time to explore.

After all, this immense pressure is like a constantly operating Domain Supreme Treasure, except that this Domain Supreme Treasure is relatively weak, only able to slow down the speed of the strong, but unable to cause them any harm.

Qie Qiong looked down at the Primal Star below. This Primal Star was just like its name, and it was exactly the same as some other primordial planets in the universe.

However, the trees and other things on it were much larger than those on a normal planet.

I don't know why.

Since entering, Qie Qiong had a premonition that he would reap considerable rewards in this cosmic carnival.

The premonitions of the strong are usually very accurate.
