Age of Calamity in Swallowed Star

"Oh, right, there's one more thing you need to remember."

"Please tell me, Master," Lin Ye said, raising his head and looking at the City Lord Hun Dun with bright, wide eyes.

"It's about your self-created techniques and weapons. I've seen your techniques, and they are truly perfect. Even I can hardly find any flaws."

"Thank you for your praise, Master!" Lin Ye said with a smile and a nod.

He knew that generally, after reaching the peak of the Realm Lord level, one needed to comprehend various different laws to break through to become an undying existence, thus embarking on different paths.

This also led to many people feeling unsuited when practicing the secret techniques and martial arts of other powerful individuals.

Therefore, before advancing to become an undying god, almost all Realm Lords would create their own secret techniques.

The level or rank didn't matter… as long as it suited them, it was perfect.

Only in this way could they truly unleash more than 100% of their combat power in battle.

"So, I am very much looking forward to seeing how terrifying you will be when you unleash your secret techniques after breaking through to become an undying god."

As he spoke, a long-lost look of anticipation appeared on the face of City Lord Hun Dun.

He had high expectations for Lin Ye's future.

"I will definitely not disappoint Master."

Lin Ye smiled, feeling confident in his heart—

Even if he were to create his own secret techniques, they would definitely not be comparable to the [Chaotic Origin Secret Manual].

So, this kind of ultimate secret technique was the one that suited him.

"Since that's the case, then I will wait for your arrival in Chaotic City and look forward to your good news."

"Your disciple obeys!"

"Good! You may leave now!"

After saying that, City Lord Hun Dun's figure transformed into a cloud of hazy mist and dissipated.

Lin Ye also briefly paused before returning to his manor in the Primal Region from Thunder Island.

He contacted a few close friends and briefly explained the situation.

Lin Ye then left the virtual universe and began to prepare in the real world.

He was going to start preparing for his trip to Chaotic City.

...In the vast universe, the difficulty of breaking through to become an undying existence is extremely high for many life forms.

Beings like the Thousand Star Poro Flower and the Zerg Queen… they all ultimately broke through by reaching a terrifying level of comprehension in the laws.

Luo Feng's Golden Horned Beast also needed to break through the shackles of its original core with an extremely high level of law comprehension in order to complete the final breakthrough.

As for Lin Ye's Earthling avatar… compared to the difficulty faced by these races, he basically had no difficulty at all and could break through at any time.

Relatively speaking, there were also some existences that could easily break through realms.

Their realm advancement speed was rapid, and the bottleneck barriers that were unattainable in the eyes of ordinary people simply did not exist for them.

They could break through whenever they wanted!

For example, the Thousand Shadow Clone!

As Lin Ye's first clone created using the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda and his own soul source blood,

The difficulty of the Thousand Shadow Clone's breakthrough was even much easier than that of his Earthling avatar.

For Qian Ying Lin Ye, breaking through realms was as easy as drinking water.

Either he could break through together with the Earthling avatar without encountering any bottlenecks,

Or he could break through on his own at will and, in turn, drive the Earthling avatar to break through!

Putting aside everything else, Lin Ye's conditions alone… were already fully met.

In terms of law comprehension, Lin Ye had a super advantage.

The Thousand Shadow Clone was inherently extremely compatible with various cosmic source laws, and the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda had always been inside his body.

Many times, Lin Ye unknowingly completed his comprehension of the laws without realizing it.

In this regard, no treasure in the entire human race's universe could compare to it.

So, the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda was his greatest reliance.

Not only had his law comprehension reached the level of a Cosmic Venerable, but his willpower had also surpassed that of most Cosmic Venerables.

As for his mental power amplification… Lin Ye hadn't tested it, so he didn't know exactly how much or how strong it was.

But even so, Lin Ye could be sure that his mental power amplification was definitely not bad!

Super willpower! Law comprehension! Chaotic Origin Secret Manual! Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda!

The combination of so many unprecedented super conditions made him almost unmatched even among undying existences!

Even if ordinary undying gods wanted to break through to become Cosmic Venerables, they could not reach his level.

"The strength from just these combined factors is already comparable to that of an ordinary Cosmic Venerable. Entering the undying realm should not be a problem at all!"

"I hope I won't be too disappointed after becoming an undying god!"

Lin Ye was full of anticipation. After cultivating for thousands of years, he had finally ushered in this moment! He was looking forward to his breakthrough and even more so to the terrifying strength after the breakthrough!

The reason was simple.

When Lin Ye was at the peak of the Realm Lord level, his strength had already surpassed Invincible King-level and reached an unprecedented terrifying level.

Therefore, after his life level transformed into an undying god, he would be able to rise even higher!

"With such thorough preparations, it would be against all reason if I didn't become even stronger!"

"With a golden pill swallowed into my belly, my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens'!"

"The nine great source laws have all been broken open by me!!"

"..."

Inside City Lord Hun Dun's palace, Lin Ye sat cross-legged, his expression serene and natural.

Beside him, City Lord Hun Dun's clone quietly guarded him.

Even Star Prison Demon Lord and Palace Master Tianshi didn't enjoy such treatment when they broke through.

At this moment, a small part of Lin Ye's consciousness was wandering in the ocean of several great laws.

The other half of his consciousness continued to cultivate the Chaotic Origin Secret Manual, constantly delving deeper.

Now that Lin Ye's law comprehension was comparable to that of a high-level Cosmic Venerable, studying the nine great source laws again was like a college student taking an elementary school graduation exam.

It was easy to get a perfect score!

However, even if it was a perfect score, he still needed to pay attention to the details.

On one side of the palace, City Lord Hun Dun, wearing golden armor, stood with his hands behind his back, quietly watching the power of law surrounding Lin Ye.

"I didn't expect that this genius kid, Lin Ye… would actually comprehend all nine great source laws except for time. He's truly a freak among freaks."

"I can even clearly feel a trace of the law of time on him, and he didn't even actively cultivate it. It's really bizarre,"

His eyes fixed on Lin Ye and his Thousand Shadow Clone.

City Lord Hun Dun's heart was surging at this moment, and the shock deep within his heart was difficult for others to understand.

Only by being here and personally witnessing Lin Ye's uniqueness could one believe that there was such a powerful monster in this universe.

"If the heavens hadn't given birth to you, Lin Ye, the human race would have been in eternal darkness!!"

City Lord Hun Dun silently lamented in his heart, his gaze completely filled with Lin Ye.

"After you break through, I must personally test your strength!!"

Having seen the various miracles on Lin Ye, even City Lord Hun Dun, the peak figure of the human race, couldn't help but feel full of anticipation.

...

Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, fifty years had passed.

At this moment, Lin Ye had been sitting in the center of the hall for a full fifty years.

Looking motionless, he looked like a wooden man.

"So… this is the essence of fire!"

"And also gold, wood, water, earth… each one has its own unique properties and meaning of existence."

Lin Ye slowly opened his eyes and stood up.

He stretched out his hands as if embracing the world, and a feeling of completeness and natural fulfillment filled his heart.

And this was the manifestation of him comprehending a law to the extreme.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!—!!"

Invisible connections instantly linked Lin Ye to the nine great law oceans of the universe's origin, and invisible auras were drawn in and directly transmitted over.

Everything began to change.

"Good heavens, all nine great law oceans have been hooked, it's truly terrifying!!"

The sudden arrival of this source law power forced City Lord Hun Dun to slowly retreat half a step and then another half a step.

If only one or two types of law power had descended, he wouldn't have been so apprehensive and retreated.

But with the aura of the nine great laws coming over, even a big shot like City Lord Hun Dun couldn't help but avoid its sharpness.

At the same time, Lin Ye released his inner world, swallowing the auras from these law oceans like a whale.

"The law is formed, the source takes shape, divine power irrigates the world, the soul and divine body unite to break through to immortality!!!"

Lin Ye's eyes were clear, and he silently recited the formula passed down by City Lord Hun Dun in his heart.

This was the basic process for entering the realm of undying gods, and every undying existence would experience it.

...

Inside the inner world.

The aura of law surged like a reversed Milky Way, setting off endless, earth-shattering waves.

An unprecedented soaring will burst forth from his entire body, an incomparably sharp and powerful will that would kill gods who dared to block his path.

If the Lin Ye who was cultivating before was a calm and unwavering deep spring,

Then he now was like a giant battle blade unsheathed for the first time, its exposed sharpness seeming to cut a gap in the entire sky.

The transformation occurred in an instant.

"Rumble!!—"

Endless divine power of gold, wood, water, fire, earth… the nine great divine powers poured madly into Lin Ye's body.

Normally speaking, when a Realm Lord entered the undying level, only a small amount of divine power of one attribute was needed to complete the transformation.

Some powerful elite Realm Lords would be at the King-level as soon as they became undying, and the amount of divine power required was not much, just enough to form a 'one hundred thousand times Realm Lord power' divine body.

And Lin Ye was an exception among exceptions.

Although he didn't know what multiple of life gene level his avatar's divine body was at the moment… it had already surpassed an unknown number of times the power of a Realm Lord.

Perhaps the unit of measurement for his divine body could no longer be measured in Realm Lords.

But rather, how many times the power of an Undying King.

Such a divine body had already surpassed nine-tenths of the Cosmic Venerables in the entire universe.

"Rumble—"

"Whirr—"

"Chi chi chi—"

"..."

Endless divine power of fire, divine power of water, divine power of gold, divine power of space poured in, seemingly endless, never-ending.

The magnificent divine body of countless times the power of an Undying King naturally required a very astonishing amount of divine power.

Moreover, there was the terrifying existence of the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda in his body, and its absorption of divine power from the universe's origin could be described as shocking.

"What's going on!? Is Lin Ye, my beloved disciple, going to absorb all the law oceans of the universe's origin!?"

"This isn't a scene of a Realm Lord breaking through to immortality, it's clearly a scene of a Universe Master breaking through upwards."

Seeing Lin Ye's astonishing absorption of endless divine power, even an existence like City Lord Hun Dun couldn't help but be stunned.

As one of the top figures of the human race, he had seen the ups and downs of countless powerhouses.

He had also seen many Cosmic Venerables fuse time and space to become Universe Masters.

But it was truly the first time he had seen someone like Lin Ye, who was only breaking through to become an undying god.

However—

Unlike the Earthling avatar, who had the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda sitting in his body, the amount of divine power required by the Thousand Shadow Clone was not much.

But the quality requirements were extremely high!

Lin Ye's Earthling avatar sat in the center of the hall, while the Thousand Shadow Clone, dressed in simple gray clothing, sat cross-legged in a corner, breaking through quietly and silently.

If City Lord Hun Dun hadn't specifically glanced at Lin Ye's clone, he probably would have directly ignored it.

This was what it meant to have an incredibly low sense of presence.

Under City Lord Hun Dun's focused attention, the Thousand Shadow Clone didn't care about the outside world at all, and cultivated on its own.

A strange mang star shape quickly formed above its head, and then only a pagoda shadow rose from the polygonal mang star, rotating rapidly.

"What kind of secret technique is this, that it can have the effect of fusing the power of the source laws!??"

Staring at the Thousand Shadow Clone's vision, City Lord Hun Dun immediately felt his worldview being severely subverted.

Breaking through to become an undying god… could it still be played like this!?

The inverted nine great divine power auras intertwined and fused together, and were ultimately completely absorbed by the Thousand Shadow Clone without discrimination.

According to common sense, the momentum of divine power pouring into the body when entering immortality is generally very small.

Even when an invincible King-level existence breaks through to become a Cosmic Venerable, the momentum is not very large.

However—

The momentum brought about by Lin Ye's breakthrough this time was too great.

If City Lord Hun Dun hadn't used the Thousand Treasure River to seal the entire City Lord's Mansion, the vision would have been even more obvious.

But even so, some wonders of the descent of the source law aura were still scattered and spread out.

"What's going on!? The source laws of the universe are fluctuating so much, who poked this hornet's nest!?"

"What a terrifying law fluctuation… could it be that the City Lord is cultivating some secret technique again!?"

In Chaotic City, a peak existence proficient in the laws looked up.

Even from a very long distance, he could clearly feel the powerful fluctuations contained in these laws.

This kind of power, even they, who had lived for countless years, had never seen before.

It could be called unique!

If it were them… it would definitely be difficult to contend with.

Because the power from the universe's origin could only be barely contended with by existences at the Universe Master level.

"One, two, three, four… the fluctuations of a full nine great source laws. It seems to be a powerful secret technique that can affect the source land. Congratulations to the City Lord for taking his strength to the next level!"

Some powerful individuals who considered themselves good at the laws murmured and bowed deeply in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Screw you... What the hell is this? Someone has clearly transcended into immortality and become an Eternal God."

The seven-colored glow illuminated the entire Chaos City in a dazzling splendor, and many residents within couldn't help but look up.
