Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

However, it is different for those who have reached the King level. They are very difficult to die, and they can even be resurrected after death. Therefore, they can slowly hone their secret techniques through a lot of battles, so almost every one of them can create top-level secret techniques.

Besides the secret techniques, Lu Yunhe's own strength had also improved. To be precise, it was the strength of his divine tree avatar that had increased.

In the past two hundred years, the basic strength of the Divine Tree clone has increased from two thousand times the power of a World Lord to three thousand times. With ten times the genetic power, it has just crossed the threshold of advanced King.

"so slow!"

Seeing the Divine Tree clone's arduous progress at the Immortal God stage, Lu Yunhe finally understood why so many Realm Lord geniuses had to accumulate knowledge and skills at the Realm Lord level, because the progress at the Immortal God stage was simply too slow.

It's not only slow, but also very resource-intensive.

It should be noted that Lu Yunhe killed many Marquis-level Immortals during this period, accumulating a lot of resources. He then sold all of these resources through the Hong Alliance, and his net worth barely reached the bottom line of becoming a King.

Then all those resources were poured into the Divine Tree clone, which led to its current improvement. Otherwise, over two hundred years, the Divine Tree clone's strength probably wouldn't have changed at all.

"It seems that the other clones cannot break through to the Immortal God level as quickly as the Divine Tree clone."

Lu Yunhe pondered, "If life forms like the Divine Tree Avatar, which only have ten times the genetic level, have such difficulty advancing to the Immortal God stage, let alone special life forms with more than a hundred times the genetic level."

I need to accumulate more experience at the Realm Lord level so that I can reach the peak of the King level once I break through.

His cultivation progressed at an incredibly slow pace, and Lu Yunhe's self-created secret technique also hit a bottleneck.

His combat experience on battlefields outside the region could only support him in developing the secret techniques to the "top level".

Reaching the "Peak" level of secret techniques is not impossible for Lu Yunhe with his talent, but it would probably take a long time to achieve it in the extraterrestrial battlefield.

"It's time to go find Senior Brother Chaos!" Lu Yunhe separated a wisp of his consciousness to connect to the virtual universe, knowing that he should make good use of the resources he had.

Virtual universe Thunder Island.

At the highest point of Thunder Island, amidst the hazy chaotic currents, stands a temple. It is the highest temple on the entire island, and Lu Yunhe, as the Chaos City Lord's publicly acknowledged disciple, is naturally qualified to come here.

"Whoosh."

Lu Yunhe appeared in front of the temple. There were no servants or attendants in the temple; it was empty except for the omnipresent chaotic energy.

"Junior brother, you've finally arrived!"

The Lord of Chaos City stood inside the temple, looking directly at Lu Yunhe, a slight smile on his lips.

After Lu Yunhe went to the battlefield outside the domain, the Lord of Chaos City naturally paid some attention to him. He did not expect that in just a few hundred years, he could rival the King-level Immortals and kill quite a few Marquis-level Immortals.

"At this rate, it probably won't be long before Junior Brother is able to kill a King!"

The Lord of Chaos was also somewhat amazed. To kill a King-level Immortal, one would need to possess power comparable to the limit of a King-level Immortal.

Being able to rival the pinnacle of a King at the Realm Lord level is something even some special life forms probably cannot achieve.

As for how he achieved the pinnacle of kingship, the Lord of Chaos City didn't care at all.

After all, for humans, to reach the level of a World Lord and rival an immortal god, they basically need the assistance of various external aids; being able to use them is a testament to your skill.

"My self-created secret technique has hit a bottleneck, so I would like to ask my senior brother for some guidance."

Lu Yunhe didn't stand on ceremony. After all, with the wisdom of the Chaos City Lord, he probably guessed the purpose of his visit.

"it is good!"

The Lord of Chaos City nodded, and then the huge temple was transformed into a training ground.

Then Lu Yunhe stood in the void, holding the Void Divine Weapon and immediately began to wield it.

First up is the first set of top-tier secret techniques!

The illusory divine weapon in Lu Yunhe's hand burst into flames. With a casual swipe, the entire void instantly transformed into a world of fire, and a beast god standing on flames roared in the void.

"Hmm, a very standard secret technique of the Fire and Void Beast God's Way, incorporating insights into the Beast God's Way, and the foundation of the swordsmanship is also very solid," commented the Chaos City Lord.

"Once Junior Brother has finished his training in the outer battlefield, he can directly apply for a Beast God Token from the human race and go to the Ancestral God Sect." The Chaos City Lord pondered the next arrangements in his mind.

Although we won't interfere with our junior brother's cultivation path, we still need to provide some auxiliary assistance.

After finishing the secret technique of the Fire Void Beast God's Path, Lu Yunhe did not stop and continued to demonstrate his second set of secret techniques.

In an instant, the flames on the Void God Sword dissipated, and a faint golden light clung to it, exuding an aura that could cleave through the void.

"The Way of the Golden Void Beast God!"

The Lord of Chaos City hesitated. Could it be that his junior brother wanted to master all eight paths of the Beast Gods?

However, Lu Yunhe's next move completely silenced the Lord of Chaos City.

After unleashing two top-tier secret techniques, Lu Yunhe unleashed one last sword strike. Golden and red light intertwined on the illusory divine weapon, and a blazing golden giant sword pierced through the entire void, leaving behind endless sharpness and scorching marks.

"Brother!"

After finishing his demonstration, Lu Yunhe felt refreshed and invigorated. He had the confidence to ask the Lord of Chaos City for advice.

Simply creating a secret technique is not very meaningful unless he directly creates the ultimate secret technique. Otherwise, it probably wouldn't catch the eye of the Chaos City Lord. After all, geniuses of tens of millions of eras can basically create one or two peak secret techniques at the World Lord level, let alone a mere top-level secret technique.

However, Lu Yunhe's self-created secret method is both law and Tao, using law to expound Tao and Tao to derive law.

These two and a half sets of secret techniques are not only the accumulation of Lu Yunhe's first half of life, but also the source of his Dao for a period of time to come.

"Junior brother!"

After a long silence, the Lord of Chaos sighed heavily. He gradually began to understand why his teacher had accepted him as a disciple. Some things really cannot be summed up by the word "talent".

The Lord of Chaos recalled Lu Yunhe's performance during this period and remembered the three important hurdles in breaking through to become the strongest in the universe.

Perfect genes, one's own path, and the structure of the universe—these three elements seem to be perfectly embodied in Lu Yunhe.

With special life forms present, achieving perfect genes is significantly easier compared to others.

The Taoist techniques that Lu Yunhe just demonstrated have also completely described his future path.

Although none of these things were perfect, the Lord of Chaos City did indeed gain an understanding of the "Dao" from them, and it even touched his own cultivation.

To this, the Lord of Chaos City could only say, "Junior Brother has the potential to become the strongest."

"The strongest in the universe!"

Lu Yunhe nodded. The "Dao" he had just demonstrated was indeed only at the level of a true god. As for the subsequent path, he had a corresponding concept in his mind, but he had not yet put it into practice.

After all, having too many ideas means you have to take things one step at a time and not be too ambitious.

"Junior brother, there's not much I can do to help you. I can only point out some differences in how you use your self-created secret techniques."

The Lord of Chaos City said calmly, "Although the extraterrestrial battlefield has gathered many races from the universe, there are not many suitable opponents. Therefore, I will directly arrange some special opponents for you through the virtual universe to improve your various weaknesses."

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Lu Yunhe thanked him and then returned directly to his independent training ground in the virtual universe. The Lord of Chaos City had already transmitted the relevant information to Delacion.

……

"Junior Brother's talent far surpasses mine. He has already found his own path at the World Lord level. Perhaps one day in the future, Junior Brother will lead the human race back to the top of the universe, just like Master."

After Lu Yunhe left, the Lord of Chaos City stood quietly in the temple, surrounded by streams of chaotic energy, his eyes revealing a hazy quality.

Chapter 229 The Secret Technique is Complete

In the Starry Sky Training Grounds!

"Having connections is awesome!"

Lu Yunhe stood in the starry sky, holding the Divine Weapon of the Bearded One. He glanced at the information loaded in the training ground and saw two sets of enemy templates, corresponding to the two sets of secret techniques he had created.

Even the personal disciples of the Chaos City Lord might not receive this kind of treatment.

With the Chaos City Lord's peak realm as the Universe Lord, and his mastery of secret techniques even reaching the level of fusing the strongest secret techniques, he could immediately see the imperfections in Lu Yunhe's self-created secret techniques. He could then target suitable opponents based on the progress and shortcomings of the secret techniques he created.

This almost nanny-like arrangement even included providing Lu Yunhe with two sets of clothes at once.

With such a thoughtful arrangement, it wouldn't be difficult for anyone with a bit of talent to create a top-tier secret technique.

"Let's start with the Way of Fire and Emptiness!"

Lu Yunhe pondered for a moment. Because of the Jeton clone, his mastery of the Fire and Sky Beast God Path was higher.

"Om~~~"

After the selection was made, a blurry shadow suddenly appeared in the cosmos and then gradually solidified.

A strange deity, over ten kilometers tall, covered entirely in black rock, with flames erupting from the cracks in the rock, and eyes that were entirely burning purple flames.

This purple-flame alien deity is naturally highly resistant to fire, indicating that it is targeting the power of fire in Lu Yunhe's Fire Void Secret Technique.

In the training ground, both sides had the same basic qualities. Lu Yunhe mainly had more self-created secret techniques, while the enemies he created had more racial characteristics or talents.

Lu Yunhe will need to rely on his self-created secret techniques to defeat these individual characteristics or talents.

After all, most so-called talents are actually equivalent to secret techniques. For example, the talent of perfect genes is actually the strongest secret technique of the Lord of the Universe.

"Fight!"

Lu Yunhe rushed forward instantly, and the first battle began.

……

In the years that followed, Lu Yunhe became completely immersed in the various opponents arranged by the Lord of Chaos City.

Every opponent is incredibly formidable, almost all of them targeting certain weaknesses in Lu Yunhe's self-created secret techniques. Moreover, one opponent must be defeated before another will appear.

What's even more incredible is that the Lord of Chaos City directly used these opponents to quantify Lu Yunhe's secret techniques.

If you can defeat 500, it means your self-created secret technique is already top-tier.

If you can defeat 1000, it means that the secret technique you created has reached its peak.

The ultimate techniques created by Herodo, the pinnacle of the Beast God's Way in the human treasury, are at this level. If we were to make an accurate assessment, they would be at the level of one thousand two hundred opponents.

Lu Yunhe's two incomplete peak secret techniques only had one or two moves that reached the peak level, which was only equivalent to a little over a thousand opponents.

If one can defeat 2000 opponents, it means that the secret technique created has reached the ultimate level, which is almost at the level of a cosmic master.

Even the Lord of Chaos City is powerless to help those above that level.

Lu Yunhe's ambitions weren't that grand; his current goal was simply to create a top-tier secret technique.

Because Lu Yunhe discovered that he didn't seem to have any clones that required the use of an "ultimate" secret technique to break through; at most, creating one ultimate secret technique would be enough.

……
