Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 329 Solo Adventure
Five hundred years later.

Luo Feng has mastered the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual and, like Ming Hai, possesses perfect genes. He was granted the strongest talent secret technique, 'I Am the Universe,' by the original will of the primordial universe.

At this point, Luo Feng has reached the end of his journey at the Realm Lord stage and needs to advance to Immortality to take another step forward.

However, the consequences of the perfect genes also became apparent. The Golden Horned Beast's life core, the 'Original Core,' was unbreakable. Even the most powerful techniques could not break through the shackles of the Original Core and open up a divine kingdom to ascend to immortality.

Only by creating the ultimate technique can one break through the shackles of the original core and ascend to immortality.

But ultimate techniques are not so easy to achieve. Even Minghai first ascended to immortality and then received guidance and inspiration from the King of Lost Treasures before creating them step by step.

Luo Feng is merely a realm master; creating ultimate techniques is far more difficult than creating them in the Nether Sea, and it is destined to require immense effort and a long time.

Even the Underworld can't help him.

He imitated the King of Lost Relics and fully demonstrated the profound mysteries of the laws that perfectly matched the universe to Luo Feng for observation. However, Luo Feng's path was destined to be different from that of the Underworld Sea, and he did not comprehend the ultimate profound mysteries of the laws from it.

Decades later, Luo Feng bid farewell to the Underworld Sea, shut down the virtual universe, and embarked on a solitary journey through the cosmos, seeking inspiration to create the ultimate martial arts technique.

……

Not long after Luo Feng left Zijing Island, Ming Hai's cultivation also hit a bottleneck.

Returning to Zijing Island, he received the inheritance every three years. In less than a hundred years, he fully received the sixth level of the Golden Void Beast God inheritance.

In theory, after fully receiving the sixth level of inheritance, one may be able to create the ultimate technique of a cosmic overlord.

But after hundreds of years of secluded cultivation, Minghai could not see any trace of the ultimate techniques of the cosmic overlord.

Left with no other choice, he had to begin accepting the seventh level of inheritance.

Because he had not fully grasped the sixth layer of inheritance principles, the difficulty of the seventh layer of inheritance increased dramatically. Minghai's cultivation speed was similar to that of other universe overlord inheritors, and each step forward required a great deal of time to accumulate.

Such a snail's pace of cultivation was unacceptable to Minghai, so he simply secluded himself in the courtyard for a long period of time to study the ultimate techniques of the universe overlord.

Centuries later, Minghai gave up his secluded cultivation.

He discovered that the main reason he couldn't create the ultimate technique for the universe's overlord was his lack of combat experience, knowledge, and insight, rather than his insufficient comprehension or understanding of the laws.

During his time as a Realm Lord, Minghai had fought countless battles. In his Immortal stage, when he first arrived at Zijing Island, he fought nearly 500,000 battles without rest. Logically speaking, he should not lack these things.

However, he lacks the combat experience, knowledge, and insight to be considered a cosmic overlord!

Without a wealth of combat experience, knowledge, and insight at this level, no matter how high his comprehension, he could not possibly create something out of nothing and establish the ultimate technique of the universe's overlord.

Having figured this out, Minghai immediately lost all interest in continuing his secluded cultivation on Zijing Island.

Following Luo Feng's example, he also shut down the virtual universe, embarked on a solitary journey to wander the primordial universe, and sought inspiration for the ultimate technique to create a cosmic overlord.

Of course, Luo Feng lacked pure inspiration, while Ming Hai lacked combat experience and corresponding knowledge and insight from being a powerhouse at the level of a cosmic overlord.

Therefore, he was not simply wandering around, but rather venturing deep into the secret realms of the universe to fight against the cosmic venerables and overlords of the billions of races in the primordial universe.

To achieve this goal, Minghai even put away treasures such as the 'Silver Frost Thousand Silk Sword', 'Ice and Snow Cold Soul Armor', and 'Golden Light Transparent Mirror', and spent 0.5 treasure points to exchange for a top-tier offensive sword and a top-tier defensive armor in the human race's treasury.

Furthermore, they insisted on not using the 'Avici Pagoda' and the strongest innate secret technique 'Sealing Time and Space'.

His goal is to create unique skills through combat. These treasures, which can greatly enhance strength but do not help with the cultivation of secret techniques, are unnecessary to use unless there is a life-or-death crisis.

He even changed his appearance and concealed his aura, wandering through various cosmic secret realms as a lone traveler, fighting against countless cosmic venerables and cosmic overlords.

Although he forgoes using his most precious treasures and his strongest innate secret technique, 'Sealing Time and Space,' the amplification of his genes by over 1 times and his divine power by a hundred times still makes Minghai a cosmic overlord, a remarkably powerful cosmic overlord. In the primordial universe, the concept of a cosmic overlord is rather vague, lacking a clear standard, and is generally categorized into three levels: ordinary, powerful, and top-tier.

The Underworld Sea secretly divides the cosmic overlords into four levels.

Ordinary cosmic overlord, powerful cosmic overlord, near-top cosmic overlord, and top cosmic overlord.

Ordinary Universe Overlord: A cosmic master who has not created the ultimate technique for cosmic overlords, but possesses supreme treasures.

Or a cosmic overlord who creates the ultimate technique, has no supreme treasure, and whose genes are less than 100 times stronger.

Powerful Cosmic Overlord: Possessing supreme treasures, creating the ultimate cosmic overlord technique, a cosmic venerable with a gene multiplier of approximately 100.

Or perhaps without the ultimate treasure, one could create the ultimate technique of a cosmic overlord, becoming a cosmic venerable with genes exceeding 1000 times.

Or someone like Minghai, who, although he didn't create the ultimate technique for becoming a cosmic overlord, is a cosmic venerable whose genes are more than 10000 times stronger and whose divine power amplification secrets are highly accomplished.

Nearly a top-tier cosmic overlord: possessing a superior treasure, creating the ultimate cosmic overlord technique, a cosmic venerable whose genes are more than 1000 times stronger.

Top-tier cosmic overlord: Possessing supreme treasures, creating the ultimate technique of the cosmic master, a cosmic venerable whose genes are over 1000 times stronger.

This division is slightly clearer than the division of the original universe, but it is only slightly clearer and is still quite blurry.

The only criterion for judging a cosmic overlord is strength; there is no other criterion that can accurately describe it.

The Underworld Sea is merely a vague standard of judgment that it has created based on its own ideas, after frequently engaging in battles with numerous cosmic overlords in various cosmic secret realms.

He only represents himself.

Time passed slowly.

At first, Minghai remembered that Luo Feng would create the ultimate technique 50,000 years later, then spend more than 30,000 years perfecting the ultimate technique, and then break through the original core shackles, establish a divine kingdom, and ascend to immortality.

Then, he was taken into the small universe of the Starry Sky Old Beast God by the Mountain Guest. With ten thousand times the passage of time, it took more than one hundred million years to successfully create the ultimate technique of the Lord of the Universe.

At that time, Luo Feng will inevitably surpass him!
At that time, he, as the grandfather, will lose face in front of his grandson.

But as time passed, with the virtual universe shut down and all contact with the outside world severed, Minghai, who was constantly traveling through various secret realms and fighting against countless powerful beings, and immersed in secret techniques, gradually entered a state of single-minded focus and unknowingly forgot about these things.

……

Xixi secret realm.

A secret cosmic realm far from the borders of humanity.

From the depths of a massive mountain range stretching for over ten light-years, a terrifying and awe-inspiring power emanated.

The sharp sword light, brimming with murderous intent, intertwined with the black longsword, which contained a dense aura of malevolence, causing the laws of nature to fluctuate and the void to shatter.

The fierce battle between the two terrifyingly powerful beings plunged the area within trillions of kilometers into chaos, shattering mountains and reducing rocks and plants to nothingness.

Rumble~~~
The battle triggered thousands of void rifts and countless void turbulences that surged forth, engulfing and devouring everything, but it had no effect on the battle between the two powerful beings.

The battle raged on for an unknown duration. The powerful warrior wielding the black blade retreated hundreds of millions of kilometers, warily watching the powerful figure opposite him whose head was covered by thick blue scales and who had a scaled tail trailing behind him.

"Humph!"

After a while, the powerful figure looked at a treasure emerging from the depths of the mountain range, recognized it as a high-grade treasure, and his desire to fight diminished greatly. He snorted, turned around, and teleported away.
