Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Primordial God and Demon Avatar

"Stop right now!"

Xu Qiankun immediately stopped all perception of the laws of time and space, which he had almost fully comprehended.

At this point, he had already perfected the three branches of the law of time and the three branches of the law of space, and only the final step of fusion remained.

If he so desires, he can easily master both of these supreme laws and become the master of the universe.

"A little over a hundred years will be enough."

Xu Qiankun's gaze swept over the nascent bone-armored giant and the remaining two sets of materials for creating clones.

"Let's wait here for a hundred years."

Xu Qiankun had already made his decision. In the twentieth year after entering the initial universe, he went to challenge the 20th level of the Heavenly Bridge. In the eyes of outsiders, it took him only twenty years to improve his understanding of the laws from the peak of the Marquis level to the peak of the King level and even to the invincible King level.

At his rate of growth, he might become the ruler of the universe in less than 100,000 epochs.

Becoming the master of the universe after 100,000 epochs is already an extremely exaggerated achievement in the eyes of the powerful beings in the primordial universe. Even the most talented and fastest-growing progenitor in history took millions of epochs to become the master of the universe.

Therefore, if he dares to show himself in public, he will inevitably attract many powerful assassins.

Assassins are at least cosmic masters, and even cosmic lords or the strongest beings in the universe may descend upon them.

Within the human race, apart from the initial universe and the smaller universe of the Giant Axe Founder, there is no truly safe place.

Even with the Virtual Universe Company headquarters and the Giant Axe Arena headquarters, which are constantly overseen by extremely powerful Universe Lords, his safety cannot be guaranteed 100%.

On the contrary, the safest thing to do is to find a corner where no one knows you and hide away.

"Look at the treasures that Chaos and Darkness gave us."

Xu Qiankun flipped his hand and took out five treasures.

His gaze first fell on a long spear, which was entirely silver-white and emitted strange spatial fluctuations, giving the impression that it was about to merge into the void.

A spiritual imprint landed on the spear.

Immediate feedback came in.

This gun is called "Skybreaker," and it is a high-level treasure.

"very nice"

Xu Qiankun nodded slightly. This treasured spear was a gift from the Lord of Youhou, so it should be considered precious to the Lord of Youhou.

After all, as the youngest universe master among the human race, his strength is only at the second level and he is still in the growth stage.

Holding a long spear, he thrust it forward, the tip of which plunged directly into the void and emerged from tens of thousands of miles away.

"I wonder if this Sky-Piercing Spear can be sent to the primordial universe?"

A thought began to grow in Xu Qiankun's mind.

"Give it a try"

In the primordial world, the gods and demons of heaven and earth left the innate grand formation and arrived at a mountain peak millions of miles away.

More than 10,000 years have passed, and the primordial world has evolved into a more complete form. The turbid air that used to be everywhere has almost completely disappeared, and the innate spiritual energy between heaven and earth has become increasingly abundant.

The surviving beasts are even stronger, and their battles are more frequent.

Xu Qiankun then saw three powerful ferocious beasts whose strength was comparable to that of a mid-stage True God.

At this stage, even the most powerful innate gods and demons like Hongjun, Yangmei, and Luohou are probably only comparable in strength to these ferocious beasts.

After all, judging from the growth rate of the gods and demons of heaven and earth, they have only broken through the membrane of heaven and earth a few thousand years ago, and they may not even have condensed a second primordial qi.

Of course, Xu Qiankun was referring to his own hard power.

In fact, both Luo Hou and Hong Jun possessed innate treasures. Even with the strength of an early True God, they could kill ferocious beasts at the True God Perfection level without much difficulty. This is the value of innate treasures.

"The incomplete Creation Jade Disc must be a supreme innate treasure, right?" Xu Qiankun curled his lip and looked at the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Qiankun Reverse Origin Pearl, in his hand. "I'm not envious at all."

"I just don't know where the Qiankun Cauldron is. Since that thing is named after Qiankun, it should be destined to be with me."

Xu Qiankun looked up at the sky, where a huge sun star hung high, shining brightly alongside the moon star.

"There is also a supreme innate treasure on the Sun Star. I will borrow it when I grow up."

The Chaos Bell is also a supreme treasure that combines both offense and defense.

Setting aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind, he casually used the Qiankun Reverse Origin Pearl to kill all twelve ferocious beasts within a thousand miles and refine them into the source of creation before the Qiankun God and Demon opened his hand.

A silver-white spear appeared in his hand.

Buzz

The moment the silver-white spear appeared, the heavens and earth trembled slightly, and Xu Qiankun's expression changed slightly as he prepared to send it back to the Swallowed Star World.

"It doesn't seem dangerous."

Xu Qiankun abruptly stopped his thoughts, focusing his divine sense on the "Sky-Piercing Spear" and carefully observing its changes.

High in the sky, a magnificent yet vague consciousness slowly revived, as if sensing something, and a vast golden light descended from the mysterious space.

"This is..." Xu Qiankun stared in shock at the magnificent golden light descending from the sky. "The golden light of merit?"

As the golden light approached, it split in two. Forty percent entered his body, while the remaining sixty percent entered the Void-Piercing Spear he was holding. The silver-white Void-Piercing Spear immediately underwent an extremely strange change.

The gun body turned pale gold, while the tip turned bright silver, and layers of acquired restrictions were rapidly forming within the gun body.

One

Two

Three...twelve...eighteen

Soon, a total of eighteen acquired restrictions were created within the gun body, and the aura of the Void-Piercing Gun also changed drastically. Originally, it only contained a trace of the extremely weak spatial Dao mystery, but now it was a thousand times, ten thousand times stronger.

Moreover, as the restrictions were formed, the materials of the Void-Piercing Spear, which were not particularly good to begin with, underwent a tremendous transformation.

This change was quite lengthy, and soon a century had passed before a message entered Xu Qiankun's consciousness.

"The first acquired magical treasure born between heaven and earth received the reward of Heavenly Merit, and by fusing the merit, it became an acquired merit spiritual treasure."

Xu Qiankun was overjoyed. He really didn't expect that he could gain merit from the Heavenly Dao just by conducting an experiment.

Not only did the "Sky-Piercing Spear" become a meritorious spiritual treasure, but he himself also gained four-tenths of the merit.

"With only eighteen acquired restrictions, it can only be considered a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure, but it's enough."

As a treasure of merit, its power is secondary; its most important function is to prevent one from incurring karmic consequences when killing.

More importantly, this treasure was found for free.

"I still have forty percent of my virtue within me. Can I use it to directly enhance my strength?"

Xu Qiankun then turned his attention to his internal body.

Within the vortex of divine power formed by the origin of the five elements, a ball of golden light of merit was quietly suspended.

This golden light of merit is extremely mysterious. It is clearly not energy, yet it can be converted into energy, and can even forcibly enhance one's understanding of the Great Dao.

"Comprehension of the Great Dao cannot be directly enhanced through the golden light of merit; otherwise, the foundation will be unstable, affecting potential."

Although the golden light of merit is mysterious, it is not omnipotent.

All the powerful individuals who achieved sainthood through merit in later generations, whether they possessed great merit themselves or shamelessly borrowed it, had their strength greatly limited.

In countless primordial fantasy novels, Nuwa was the first saint to become a saint under Hongjun, but her strength was also the weakest among the six saints.

And those two guys from the West are also much weaker than the Three Pure Ones, not only because of the difference in their innate treasures, but also because of the different paths they chose.

Merit cannot be used to enhance one's understanding of the Great Dao, but it can enhance one's cultivation level.

Xu Qiankun smiled slightly, and the golden light of merit suddenly plunged into the vortex formed by the origin of the five elements.

Rumble

The vortex suddenly grew larger, and Xu Qiankun's aura surged rapidly.

He quickly sat down cross-legged, and the Qiankun Reverse Origin Pearl flew into the air, hovering above his head, casting down black and white mysterious light that enveloped him.

The black and white light is the protective mechanism of the Qiankun Reverse Origin Pearl. It can not only isolate attacks, but also sever cause and effect, making it incredibly wondrous.

As the golden light of merit continued to merge, Xu Qiankun's strength rapidly increased, and a black flower bud first condensed above his head.

It was a lotus flower with twelve petals, the very flower of the primordial spirit.

After the primordial spirit flower was condensed, another red flower bud condensed, which was the essence flower.

Then came the golden flower of magic, or rather, divine power.

As the three flower buds took shape, Xu Qiankun's aura surged dramatically, breaking through the True Immortal bottleneck and reaching the Golden Immortal level.

He had complete control over the third-level branch of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and even more insights from the third-level branches kept pouring in, all at his disposal.

And this only consumed one-third of the merit-based golden light.

As he absorbed more of the golden light of merit, the three flower buds above the head of the Qiankun God and Demon slowly bloomed.
