Swallow the starry sky, grind to become the strongest in the universe

Chapter 82 The Treasure That Grants the Ability to Create Clones (Seeking First Subscription)
On the throne of the main palace, the Lord of Chaos City smiled as he looked at the figure shrouded in endless darkness beside him.

"Junior brother, if you don't take this little guy in, then I won't be polite."

“Senior brother, this little guy’s will is so extraordinary that he is naturally more suitable to inherit the Illusionary Stream inheritance of me and our teacher.”

The figure shrouded in dark energy let out a laugh, the sound containing a strange and sinister quality that could easily captivate even a cosmic sage.

“Senior brother, you know that the Illusionary Realm Stream inheritance requires extremely high willpower. I can’t let you have this little guy.”

"Okay, okay, I won't fight you for it."

The Lord of Chaos City laughed heartily, then said seriously, "In that case, Junior Brother, you should first accept this little fellow as your disciple."

"Then, as his personal disciple, he encouraged him to conquer the Primal Tongtian Mountain as soon as possible..."

"Senior brother, I've said it before, you're just too conventional."

The figure in the dark mist interrupted the Chaos City Lord's speech.

“Such a strong-willed genius needs to be taught according to his aptitude. If we use conventional teaching methods, it will only delay the child’s development.”

Clearly, the two cosmic rulers have completely different styles of doing things, and they also differ in how they train their disciples.

“Junior brother, since this child has such a strong will, he naturally needs to be given pressure and tempering. Only in this way can the advantages of his will be brought into play.”

The Lord of Chaos City was helpless and wanted to say a few words of advice, but was shut down by a single sentence.

"Senior brother, you have taken in so many personal disciples, is there one of them a universe master?"

"And I only have two direct disciples, one is a master of the universe, and the other is also a cosmic overlord."

"I have some experience in teaching disciples."

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Chaos City looked at his junior brother speechlessly.

That's just being unreasonable.

Who can guarantee that their disciple will become the master of the universe?

Even the most gifted genius can only have a sliver of hope of becoming the master of the universe.

To become the master of the universe, top-tier talent, top-tier comprehension, and powerful opportunities are merely the basic requirements.

……

At this moment, Yu Duan, with an attitude of "since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it," began to look around the courtyard.

At the same time, as the bull-headed giant Jin Kui said, try to understand the 'simple' artistic conception in these statues.

However, Yu Duan quickly shook his head.

The crude meaning uttered by the bull-headed giant was incredibly profound and mysterious to Yu Duan, who was still a cosmic-level being.

"The artistic conception contained in these sculptures is many times more complex than the 72 kinds of time essences after analysis."

Yu Duan was able to perceive the mystery contained within it, which was based on the two fundamental laws of time and light.

However, the underlying principles and mysteries are extremely complex and obscure, far beyond what Yu Duan could comprehend.

Especially the part about the laws of time.

The feeling it gave Yu Duan was even more profound than the fourth and fifth images of the Myriad Universe Chaos Stele.

"This is a statue left behind by your senior brother when he created the secret technique during his time as a World Lord. With your current level, you are not qualified to comprehend it."

Just as Yu Duan was trying to comprehend the laws and artistic conception contained in the statue, a voice entered Yu Duan's ears.

Senior brother?
Yu Duan's first reaction was, "Where did I get this senior brother from?"

Immediately afterward, Yu Duan saw an incredibly eerie dark aura suddenly spreading out of thin air in the center of the courtyard.

Suddenly, in Yu Duan's perception, the entire space-time underwent some strange change.

In the center of that endless dark current, a figure emerged and came into Yu Duan's view.

This was a tall, thin man with fair, jade-like skin and intricate, mysterious black patterns on his head. He wore ancient silver and black armor and a black, open-fronted coat, somewhat resembling a trench coat.

In a daze, Yu Duan felt that he was not seeing a human figure, but rather the infinitely vast universe and spacetime.

This figure stands here as if it were the embodiment of the laws of spacetime, exuding an endless, eerie, and domineering aura, causing the entire spacetime to submit at its feet.

Even with Yu Duan's willpower, he couldn't help but be stunned at this moment, his eyes glazed over, his consciousness sinking into an endless illusion.

Yu Duan's will was strong, but in front of this towering figure, he was no different from an ordinary universe-level being.

However, in the next instant, this great being took the initiative to suppress the illusory fluctuations, allowing Yu Duan to awaken from the illusion.

"I am the Lord of Darkness."

The Lord of Darkness spoke, his deep eyes looking at Yu Duan: "Little guy, call me teacher."

Although both are great beings at the level of cosmic rulers, the Dark Lord's style of doing things is completely different from that of the Chaos City Lord.

Even the process of accepting apprentices is never conducted in a conventional manner.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yu Duan knelt down and bowed, saying, "Disciple Yu Duan greets Master!"

Upon seeing this, a smile appeared on the Lord of Darkness's face, and he nodded slightly.

"Very good. From now on, you will be my third personal disciple, the Lord of Darkness."

As the Lord of Darkness spoke, he gently raised his hand.

At this moment, time and space seemed to come alive, and a gentle force of time and space lifted Yu Duan's figure up.

Unlike the Chaos City Lord, who has dozens of personal disciples.

The Lord of Darkness is rather aloof, and therefore rarely takes on disciples; including Yu Duan, he only has three personal disciples.

"I heard from your senior master, the Lord of Chaos City, that you want to gain the ability to create clones?" the Lord of Darkness asked directly.

Upon hearing this, Yu Duan quickly replied, "Yes, teacher."

"Well, it's not difficult to obtain an avatar before becoming immortal; all you need to do is possess a powerful life form that has the talent to create avatars."

The Lord of Darkness nodded, then said, "However, your situation is special; you have had a special encounter. It's best not to give up your current body, otherwise you might lose that special encounter, which would be a loss."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Lord of Darkness waved his right hand.

Then countless blue light projections coalesced into a crystal-clear jewel covered with colorful patterns.

"These are Primal Beads, a special treasure. There are 108 of them in total, and they can grant you the ability to create clones."

As the Lord of Darkness spoke, a phantom light screen appeared beside the projection of the Primal Pearl, displaying a detailed description: Primal Pearl, a special resource-type treasure.

Through the Primal Bead, one can devour powerful beings whose life gene level is no more than a hundred times that of ordinary life, plunder their innate secret techniques, and preserve them.

Then, by fusing with the Primal Bead, one can obtain the innate secret techniques and law talents preserved by the Primal Bead.

However, there is another condition for fusing with the Primal Pearl: one must possess a life core.

Therefore, neither immortal gods nor ordinary life forms that have not condensed a life core can fuse with the Primal Pearl.

After obtaining the Primal Pearl, the powerful members of the tribe captured a large number of creatures with the talent for creating powerful clones. They then used the Primal Pearl to devour them and plunder their innate abilities.

This extremely special treasure can only be used to maximize its benefits by plundering clone talents.

Some top-tier clone talents can easily create powerful clones with a genetic level a hundred times higher than that of ordinary life forms.

However, hundreds of billions of years have passed since the clan obtained these 108 primordial beads.

Over such a long period of time, even a so-called monstrous genius, appearing only once every tens of millions of eras, could produce tens of thousands of such individuals.

Therefore, most of these 108 original beads have been bestowed upon extraordinary geniuses who have amazed their era.

Now, only two remain unused, both containing the secret technique of creating clones, which can grant the amplifier the ability to create clones.

"Here are the details for the last two original beads. Choose whichever one you think is more suitable for you."

As the Lord of Darkness spoke, two light screens appeared in front of Yu Duan.

The screen displays detailed information about the two original beads.

One of the primordial beads devoured a golden-horned behemoth.

Yu Duan was quite familiar with the Golden Horned Beast.

By fusing with this primordial bead, one can obtain the three innate secret techniques of the Golden Horned Beast. Furthermore, one can gain the Golden Horned Beast's affinity with the two great laws of metal and space.

On the light screen, there are also detailed descriptions of the Golden Horned Beast's three innate secret techniques: clone, enhancement, and devouring.

There's no need to elaborate on the Enhancement and Devour talents.

Most importantly, the Golden Horned Beast possesses the ability to create clones, which can give birth to three clones. Theoretically, it can also create special life forms with a thousand times the genetic potential as clones.

The other primordial bead devoured a powerful life form known as the 'Fire Serpent'.

The Fire Serpent is also of the pinnacle of cosmic bloodline, with a life gene level 10 times that of ordinary humans, and its numbers are even rarer than those of the Golden Horned Beast.

This Fire Serpent also possesses three innate abilities: clones, fire, and spatial illusion.

The effect of this clone technique is similar to that of the Golden Horned Beast's clone talent; it can also create three clones, and there is even a chance to create a super clone with a thousand times the genetic potential.

However, this is only theoretically achievable and is considered an achievement that is difficult to attain.

Even for the super geniuses of these two peak bloodlines, having a special life form with a thousand times the genetic potential as an avatar is only a sliver of hope.

Actually, it's understandable when you think about it. Even Luo Feng, who had an extraordinary destiny at the realm master level, failed to conceive successfully.

It should be noted that Luo Feng's inner world at that time had a diameter of nearly 100 million kilometers, making him a legendary figure in the history of the Golden Horned Beast clan.

Even an inner world of this size would struggle to nurture a World Tree avatar at the level of a World Lord, let alone an ordinary Golden Horned Beast.

"Teacher, I choose the Golden Horned Beast Primal Pearl."

Yu Duan briefly considered the advantages of the two peak bloodline beings.

If we're talking purely about talent, the Fire Serpent's spatial laws are much more compatible than the Golden Horned Beast's, and it even possesses a super secret technique like 'spatial virtualization'.

Spatial illusion is a spatial manipulation technique second only to 'teleportation', requiring a very high level of understanding of the fundamental laws of space.

Immortal gods who have mastered the ability to etherealize space are basically all king-level beings.

If Yu Duan possesses the innate secret technique of spatial virtualization, then his compatibility with the fundamental laws of space can soar to the level of a 'space darling'.

However, Yu Duan mainly focused his energy on comprehending the fundamental laws of time.

If there is a future requirement for the talent of the spatial origin law, one can carefully select when choosing a clone.

Fusing with the Golden Horned Beast's Primal Pearl might allow Yu Duan to absorb more Blood Crystals.

For Yu Duan at this stage, improvements at the genetic level are the most important.

“Alright, your second senior brother is also in the Primal Secret Realm. I will have him send the Primal Pearl to you.”

The Lord of Darkness nodded without hesitation and bestowed the Primal Pearl upon Yu Duan.

"Disciple thanks Master!" Yu Duan quickly bowed to the Lord of Darkness.

The Lord of Darkness shook his head and said, "I don't care about empty formalities."

"My first requirement for you is that at the cosmic level, you should cultivate in seclusion for a maximum of one thousand years, and at the domain lord level, you should cultivate in seclusion for a maximum of ten thousand years, so that you can break through to the realm of the world lord as soon as possible."

"Yes, teacher!" Yu Duan bowed and replied.

Now that we have the ability to create clones, there is no need to cross the primordial Tongtian Mountain, which is of cosmic level.

The right path is to break through to the realm of Domain Lord and World Lord as soon as possible.

"By the way, your senior master, the Lord of Chaos City, also requires you to pass through three Primal Heavenly Mountains, and there will be a reward."

The Lord of Darkness smiled faintly, wanting to see how his junior disciple would react to the news.

To conquer the cosmic-level Tongtian Mountain in a thousand years is an extremely high requirement.

Even the most prodigies, whose talents emerge only once every ten or even a hundred million epochs, would find it difficult to achieve this.

"I will do my best to fulfill the requirements of my teacher and senior master."

Upon hearing this, Yu Duan showed no sign of embarrassment; he simply bowed and made a promise.

"Very good. Come see me in this courtyard again after you break through to the Realm Lord level."

"Furthermore, my identity is top secret. Remember not to reveal to anyone that you are my disciple."

As the Lord of Darkness spoke, a special power was contained within him, influencing Yu Duan even through the virtual universe. This made Yu Duan's memory of this moment incredibly clear, one he would never forget.

"is teacher!"
