Devouring the Stars: Reboot, Serpent of Eternity!

Chapter 340 [Xiao Lian], [Cheng Ying]

After dying 13 times, Yinmou was finally freed.

After being resurrected again, Yinmou inevitably recalled the moment before his death and shuddered violently.

He looked at the middle-aged man in silver robe who seemed to be from the same clan as Thunder Emperor not far away, and bowed to express his gratitude.

"Thank you, Lord Infinite."

"No need to thank me. You fully cooperated with our research, so we guarantee that you will stay alive. This is our due responsibility."

After waving his hand, the silver-clothed soul teleported away.

That’s right, the Infinite Lord still resides in the original universe to keep control of the tribe in order to prevent the demons, insects, and machines from losing their minds and launching a large-scale attack.

"Okay, you can leave now. My maid will take you to choose an ordinary treasure. In addition, this is my research experience on your innate secret method. I hope you can gain something from it. Finally, Silver Eyes, you are free."

The "weak" young man on the rattan chair threw out a heritage crystal stone. Yinmou hurriedly caught it with both hands and knelt on the ground to express his gratitude.

"Come with me."

The lady in red standing behind the rattan chair created a clone, waved her hand, and teleported away with silver eyes, appearing in the palace of the Lord of Thunder Emperor City.

In the treasury of the City Lord’s Mansion.

The projections of ordinary treasures rose and fell in front of Yinmou, weapons, armor, domains, palaces, souls... the lavish display made Yinmou feel like he was dreaming.

It might be due to the oppression Jiang Zhe put on his will that he chose an ordinary soul treasure.

After obtaining it, Yinmou was afraid of being expelled from Thunder Emperor City, so he did not even have time to acknowledge his master and quickly knelt on the ground.

"Master of Omnics, can I follow Master Thunder Emperor? I am willing to be driven by the supreme Master Thunder Emperor!"

"But, after you leave Thunder Emperor City, Lord Qianwu will be waiting for you outside the Sirius Palace. He will make arrangements for you. From now on, you will be a member of Thunder Emperor Biotechnology Company. The company has a strict reward system, and you can find everything you want in the system."

……

Beside Mirror Lake, Jiang Zhe was studying the secret method of Silver Eyes' talent.

The specific description of this secret method is - endless reincarnation.

Like an onion, with one layer wrapped within another, there are endless chain illusions that can easily lead to one getting addicted to them, causing the will and consciousness to collapse, and even the soul to disintegrate, leading to eventual destruction.

The secret technique only takes a moment to be performed, but the person who is hit will feel like he has spent a very long time in a fantasy world.

For example, Luo Feng said that he felt like he had spent 1 epochs, or 1 million years, in a fantasy world. He did not break through the situation violently, but rather managed to survive the endless environment.

Jiang Zhe also wanted to experience it for himself.

But how could the King-level Silver Eyes pull him, who possessed a will close to that of a true god, into this illusion?

Even Silver Eyes couldn't be promoted to the Lord of the Universe.

Even if the Infinite Lord used his innate secret technique [Lord of Life] to become a member of the same race as Silver Eyes, he could not use this innate secret technique because he did not have a soul.

Shortly after.

After thoroughly understanding the composition of this secret innate talent, Jiang Zhe smacked his lips.

"The secret method is good, but it will not be enough when used at the Lord of the Universe stage. The overall structure is relatively novel, and the arrangement of the secret patterns is somewhat mysterious. It has its merits..."

Then, Jiang Zhe took out two inheritance crystals.

One of them contains the tenth-level secret method, [Virtual Universe], taught by the original ancestor himself;

There are seven secret patterns in one of them, corresponding to the fourth to tenth level secret methods, taught by the hermit himself;

"The fifth-level secret technique I created is to transform the illusion universe, which can lead people into falling into it, making it impossible to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and eventually being subtly enslaved... If I want to take it a step further, well... first, I can draw on the virtual universe to make it more real, which is to win by quality; second, I can imitate the innate secret technique of Silver Eyes and build an endless illusion soul, which will be pressed over layer by layer like a tide, which is to win by quantity."

"The original ancestor's [virtual universe] has ten fundamental laws, so it is real enough to reflect all kinds of situations. However, the secret method I created is only based on the law of thunder and time fusion. It takes the path of illusion quality, and the improvement is probably very limited."

“We have to take both paths into account!”

"To create multiple reincarnation illusions, you can refer to the secret pattern diagram given by the hermit, and use the expression of the silver eye's innate secret method to repeatedly 'copy-reproduce-superimpose' one illusion... The difficulty lies in how to make it form a stable structure after borrowing so much?"

"I also have some ideas about the seventh stage after the sixth stage... Maybe I will question the Lord of the Galaxy, understand the Lord of the Galaxy, and finally become the Lord of the Galaxy."

That’s right, Jiang Zhe, the seventh-level secret technique, is planning to create a patchwork of secret techniques.

After having a draft in mind, Jiang Zhe tilted his head and asked, "Anna, how is the analysis of the life structure diagram of the silver eye going?"

"Master, the analysis is complete, do you want to take a look?"

Jiang Zhe waved his hands and sighed.

"Save it for now, and I'll study it after I break through to become the Lord of the Universe."

"Alas, the 'divine power route' is difficult to follow. Even with the help of the big cat, I still have to rely on myself to complete the journey from 6 times to 9 times. I can never complete it with the materials from the cosmic sea alone. I must enter the 'World of Jin'. One thing leads to another, and I can't be impatient."

"..."

He turned around and continued to immerse himself in the secret creation.

It took more than a hundred years to study the secrets of Silver Eyes' talents;
In the following thousand years, he has been studying the [virtual universe] and the seven secret patterns.

Until the 1483rd year of entering the spacecraft.

In the Giant Axe miniature universe, the demon Jiang Zhe has spent tens of millions of years.

Jiang Zhe felt that he had accumulated enough, and tried to perfect the fifth-level secret technique he had created earlier, moving towards the true god-level secret technique.

……

Year after year passed.

On the Beast God Platform, Pengmo Jiang Zhe faced the two "pyramids", and his left and right eyes worked together to watch the different patterns of laws.

With your left eye, watch the arc of light in the "Soul Pyramid" appear and disappear;

With your right eye, watch the arc of light in the "Thunder Pyramid" appear and disappear;

Confirm each other.

The mystery is reflected in the heart.

When I was fully engaged, my sense of time faded away, and I didn’t know how much time had passed…

"Wind, lightning, light, time..."

"Thunder Time... tolerant and different..."

"Yes, it is this arc of light. I saw it. I saw a large universe, a microcosm built up by layers of illusions."

"I will use the Golden Dragon Shears to cut it out, break the miniature fantasy universe, and let the ultimate fantasy come to the world..."

The demon Peng Jiang Zhe flapped his wings and suddenly stood up.

Behind him appeared a ferocious dragon man controlling thunder and lightning. Lightning veins filled with perfect charm spread into the void. Countless mysterious laws and secret patterns emerged and disappeared out of thin air, leaving only floating ash-like spots of light.

He focused on the sword fingers of Pengmo Jiang Zhe and lightly slashed forward.

"That's the strike!"

scoff-

A faint electric arc, which should have been inconspicuous, suddenly appeared and extended in the void, forming a crack in the void.

It exudes a unique charm that is hard to ignore. Suddenly, the sky darkened and the void collapsed into a black sun. The crack formed by the arc happened to be on it, bursting with strong light and splitting it apart.

A lotus of creation blooms, covering tens of billions of kilometers and with 10081 petals.

It has no shape, no color, and is like an illusory projection that does not exist.

Each lotus petal holds up a piece of the universe, with celestial bodies rotating and the stars shining brightly...the ultimate, heavy and perfect charm is overwhelming.

The lotus petals trembled, starting from the innermost part, and then closed inward one by one.

The huge lotus gradually closes, and the unique charm it exudes reaches its peak at this moment, tempting people to fall into it, feeling sorry for the withering of perfect things, and perhaps even developing a tendency to self-destruct and follow the "Lotus of the World".

This is just the perspective of a bystander.

If one is caught in the trap and deeply trapped in this secret technique, as the "Lotus of the World" closes, layer upon layer of illusions will surge in like a tide, and that would be a real suffocation.

Especially when the person presiding over the secret technique possesses a will that is close to the limit of a true god, if you want to resolve it easily, you must meet two conditions at the same time - first, a true god; second, the strength of the will of the true god of the void.

The huge lotus disappeared.

The remaining glare and charm still have a fatal attraction.

The big cat has stood up from the void, shaking its head, pacing back and forth, and sniffing like a dog, sniffing the remaining charm in the void, and its pupils have once again become slits.

Seeing the demon Peng Jiang Zhe flapping his wings to fly towards the huge red sandalwood table that was neither gold nor wood not far away, the big cat raised its paw and called him to stop him.

"No need to test it. You really did it. It's a top-level sixth-level secret technique. It has a very high purpose and is very mysterious. Is there a follow-up?"

Peng Mo Jiang Zhe shook his wings and said with a smile: "Of course I have to leave some margin, otherwise how can I create a seventh-level secret method? How can I get a breakthrough method with 3 times the life gene level? Lord Cat, it's time to fulfill your promise now, right?"

The big cat squatted in the void, its furry round face full of solemnity.

"The breakthrough method of the divine power route is an extremely strict inheritance controlled by any force. Things change with time, and the old rules are no longer important. Therefore, with such a simple assessment, you can be granted a chance to receive the inheritance, but——"

"Unlike the inheritance I gave you before, you are not allowed to reveal the breakthrough method of the divine power route, so you can only practice here under my supervision... When you create the seventh-level secret method and decide to break through to the Lord of the Universe, come to me and ask for it."

"Correspondingly, I will also give you some guidance to guide you to complete the preliminary preparations and officially step onto the right track of the divine power route."

Peng Mo Jiang Zhe bowed and saluted, "Yes, I understand. I will trouble you, Master Cat, when the time comes."

"Go on, use the realm of the Lord of Laws to create a seventh-level secret method. Let me see if you can do it?"

The big cat looked much more serious, with a hint of expectation in his eyes and a melancholy tone.

"I'm giving you a three-ring test, and this is the most difficult one. If you can complete this one, the rest will be smooth sailing... You will directly break through to the Lord of the Universe. With your higher-level understanding of the laws, it won't be long before you can master the eighth-level secret technique."

"Haha, thanks for your good words."

Pengmo Jiang Zhe laughed, sat down cross-legged, and prepared to continue creating secret techniques.

The big cat called him, "Wait, what's the name of that secret technique? You're not going to wait until you create a seventh-level secret technique before naming it, are you?"

"A name?" Peng Mo Jiang Zhe was startled, then the corner of his mouth curled up, "Xiao Lian, its name is [Xiao Lian]!"

Because it can be performed with the Golden Dragon Shears, it is given the prefix - Golden Dragon Shears·Xiao Lian!

The big cat had a human-like frown on his face.

"Xiao Lian? What a weird name?"

"Forget it, it's your own secret method anyway, call it whatever you want, as long as you're happy."

Pengmo Jiang Zhe did not explain. He sat cross-legged, looked at the two "pyramids" in front of him, and continued to create the next secret technique.

Use your left eye to observe the pattern of laws in the "Soul Pyramid";
Use your right eye to observe the pattern of laws in the "Thunder Time Pyramid".

……

At this time, it was the 1503th year since entering the spacecraft, and Jiang Zhe created the first sixth-level secret method.

In Jiang Zhe's vision, he wanted to create three sixth-level secret techniques, and then rely on the correlation between them to merge the three and sublimate them, trying to break the shackles and upgrade to the seventh level.

This is also the reason why the Lord of the Galaxy was mentioned earlier.

In the original timeline, when Luo Feng accepted the inheritance of "Duan Donghe", he pulled out the Lord of the Galaxy and whipped his corpse, saying that his strongest fusion secret method was crudely created.

The fourth-level secret technique "Night" + the fourth-level secret technique "River" = the fifth-level secret technique "River in the Night".

In this regard, Jiang Zhe can only say - question, understand, and become.

Why are you pretending to be noble for the breakthrough method of 3 times the life gene level? I will just do a glorious remake.

……

Entering the spacecraft in the 1834th year.

Immersed in the secret creation, Jiang Zhe, the demon Peng who was sitting in the square, suddenly trembled and reacted.

"Thunder time...annihilation..."

"Yes, I got it. That's the feeling."

He stood up suddenly.

The shadow of the Thunder Beast God reappeared behind him, and endless secret patterns of laws appeared and disappeared in the void. All the great power was condensed on the sword finger of Pengmo Jiang Zhe's right hand.

"At the junction of morning and evening, everything is cut off."

Spread the index finger and middle finger together to the top and bottom, like a pair of scissors, and cut into the empty space in front.

A terrifying crack spread across the void.

The sky darkened, the void collapsed, and a giant egg surrounded by chaotic air currents appeared.

The crack was right above it, and the light suddenly increased, causing the giant egg to expand like a blooming lotus bud, covering tens of billions of kilometers, with a total of 10081 black and white lotus petals, and each lotus petal seemed to be holding up a world.

The same "Lotus of the World", but with completely different charm——

The first one is perfect, dreamy, and sympathetic;

Then a cold and murderous aura came towards you, making you feel cold in your heart and wanting to stay away from it.

Moreover, compared with the last time when it was illusory and like a projection, this time it was so solid that it seemed like a real object.

Chaotic air currents swirled around the lotus petals, which trembled and closed inward.

When the black petals intersect with the white petals, it is like the two blades of a pair of scissors closing together, with sharp edges emitting a terrifying force of annihilation... If a life is trapped in it, its soul will be madly destroyed.

The black and white "Lotus of the World" closed together and eventually fell into extinction.

In the void, the big cat squatted down and watched with interest.

"The top level six, soul attack secret technique, is highly compatible with the previous secret technique... meow~ I already know what you are planning."

The big cat licked his paws habitually and shook his head, "Not enough, not enough. Level seven is not that easy to achieve."

"Got it. Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Cat." Pengmo Jiang Zhe smiled as he had expected.

"Does this secret technique have a name?"

"Chengying, its name is [Chengying]." Pengmo Jiang Zhe said quite complacently.

"Well, you're still as weird as ever... Keep going. I want to see how you overcome the most difficult shackles."
