Chapter 149: Plotting against the Lord of the Universe
"In the spaceship's starry sea? You're not afraid of someone getting there first."
Through communication with Zuo Shanke, Shen Mu obtained the detailed location information of the mysterious sword tip.
Located within the Star Sea of the Spaceship, it is a very dangerous place, extremely vast and boundless, where treasures often appear.
The most important thing is that the environment here changes greatly and it is very easy to get lost. The master of the universe may die here, and even the strongest person in the universe may not be safe.
“Disciple, the energy on the tip of the sword is too mysterious. Without a will that surpasses the level of a true god and a soul defense treasure, or a ninth-level soul defense secret technique, it is impossible to collect it.”
"So I can only leave a cover to prevent others from discovering this treasure. You can take it later."
After receiving the message from the hermit, the corners of Shen Mu's mouth twitched slightly.
He absolutely did not believe in a reincarnated God King who did not have the ninth-order soul defense secret technique and the will of the True God of the Void.
If it really cannot be collected, how can it be used as a material to refine a treasure?
"Thank you for the information, Master. When I become the Lord of the Universe in the future, I will collect it myself."
After finishing speaking, Shen Mu continued: "Teacher, I not only killed three universe overlords, but also suppressed and even enslaved them. Can the armor treasure be upgraded to the level of the strongest treasure?"
It took Shen Mu half a day to send his message before he received a reply from Zuo Shan Ke.
"You are too late. The armor you want has almost been refined. The treasure materials are not enough to refine it into a truly powerful treasure."
"But if you are willing, I can try my best to perfect the secret pattern of the treasure. As for how many secret patterns I can refine in the end, it depends on luck."
"Thank you teacher."
Shen Mu had just replied when he received a new message.
"Disciple, to refine your armor to a higher level, you need to incorporate a special material called Disaster Gold."
"Although this metal is not very powerful, it is extremely rare."
"According to what I know, in the original universe, only the general of the Ancestor God Cult, who was born in the Yankou clan, has a piece of armor. If you want to have a more powerful armor, go and have a look."
Shen Mu's expression looked a little strange.
The Yankou clan is the one that keeps the Nine Tribulations Secret Book, right?
It seems that the so-called disaster treasure gold is just an excuse. In fact, the hermit wants him to fight with the ancestral god of the Yankou clan.
"It's troublesome. Each of the 72 God Generals possesses the combat power of a master of the universe. We can't defeat them."
The strength of the divine body of the Yanshen clan's clone is enough to rival that of an ordinary cosmic overlord. After performing the innate secret technique "Body Transformed into Universe", it can rival that of a cosmic overlord with a thousand times more genes.
But this is just the limit. There is still a big gap between this and the top cosmic overlords such as the 72 Generals of the Ancestral God Religion.
"My most powerful secret technique right now is only the peak secret technique of the Universe Overlord. It is still two levels away from the secret technique at the level of the Lord of the Universe."
"Besides that, the divine body is still one level short, so there is no hope for a head-on battle."
Shen Mu thought about it and realized that there was only one way for him to defeat this bandit general.
That is the secret technique of will to suppress thoughts, and while the opponent is in a downtime state, directly put it into the treasure of the Sealing Palace that has just been exchanged from the tribe.
But in this way, Shen Mu's strongest method was exposed.
Since he acquired the secret art of will, Shen Mu has been planning to kill a master of the universe. If it is exposed, it will not work.
"If I go to the residence of the Yankou clan, within the Wuhua Secret Realm, I might be able to imitate Luo Feng in the original novel and lure out the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf."
"Even with my current will, I am afraid I cannot completely suppress the thoughts of the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf."
"If the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf strikes back, I'm afraid I'll be dead beyond death."
Shen Mu's current willpower is only at an average level among the masters of the universe.
It is obviously unrealistic to suppress the thoughts of a Lord of the Universe. However, if it is a new Lord of the Universe, there is still some hope.
After all, under the effect of the Heart Thunder Secret Art, Shen Mu's will can be condensed to twice its normal state in an instant, so it is not a problem to use it to suppress a strong man whose will has just reached the level of the Lord of the Universe.
Generally speaking, the second- and third-order universe masters have wills of ordinary levels.
The will of a fourth-level Lord of the Universe will inevitably reach the limit of the Lord of the Universe level, because the soul strength of ten thousand times the genes plus the process of creating the Lord of the Universe's strongest secret method will inevitably temper the will to the limit of the Lord of the Universe.
As for the fifth-level Lord of the Universe, there is hope that he will possess the will of a true God.
"Although this Lord of the Heavenly Wolf is a waste, he is also the oldest Lord of the Universe in the demon race. If he is not treated well, he really has the will of the Lord of the Universe to the limit."
"No, I have to go find the teacher to confirm the information."
After Shen Mu made the decision, his consciousness directly connected to the virtual universe and went to meet the Lord of Ice Peak.
……
In the virtual universe Thunder Island, inside the magnificent Iceberg Palace.
"Demon Clan Heavenly Wolf?"
"Just a piece of trash, born much older than Long Xing, barely a third-level universe master."
"And if it weren't for the protection of the Heavenly Wolf Palace, I'm afraid it wouldn't even be considered the third level."
After the Ice Peak Lord finished sharing the information, he looked at Shen Mu and said, "Disciple, why are you asking about the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf?"
Shen Mu certainly couldn't say that he intended to suppress the Lord of the Universe, otherwise the Lord of Ice Peak would definitely be angry with him.
"I want to know if I can directly suppress a powerful being like the Lord of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Wolf with my willpower."
Upon hearing this, the Lord of Bingfeng did not suspect anything.
The idea of an immortal suppressing the Lord of the Universe was too rebellious, so he didn't think about it.
"More than two million years ago, a soul master from our Hong League once fought against the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf. At that time, the will of the Heavenly Wolf was only at an ordinary level, far from reaching the ultimate level."
"According to my estimation, his willpower should be about the same as yours."
Speaking of this, the Lord of Ice Peak couldn't help but show shock in his eyes.
A little fellow at the peak of immortality can actually possess the will of the Lord of the Universe. The effect of the Earth's talent for strengthening the soul is simply terrifying.
More than two million years is a very long time for Shen Mu.
But to the Lord of the Universe, it was nothing and passed in the blink of an eye.
The Lord of the Wolf has not been able to break through to a higher level of will in trillions of epochs, so it is impossible for him to break through in these two hundred epochs.
"If their wills are at the same level, then my Heart Thunder Secret Technique cannot completely suppress their thoughts. At most, it will greatly affect their strength, making it impossible for them to exert the power of the secret technique and treasures."
"It seems that we need to upgrade to another level."
"As the Realm Lord, I can transform my will to the ultimate level of the Overlord of the Universe."
“Then now that you are at the peak of immortality, you will definitely be able to transform your will to the limit of the Lord of the Universe.”
When he was at the peak of the realm master level, Shen Mu's soul strength, combined with the secret method of soul amplitude, was at most comparable to that of a strong man at the limit of the king level, and he was able to possess the ultimate willpower under the lord of the universe.
Now Shen Mu’s soul strength is already comparable to that of a cosmic overlord, and his soul strength has directly increased by 10 times.
But Shen Mu's will now is only 1000 times more condensed than before, and is at the level of an ordinary lord of the universe.
Although the strength of will is not completely linked to the strength of soul (strength of consciousness), the relationship between the three is clear.
That is, if one possesses the soul strength of a Universe Lord, he must also possess the will of a Universe Lord. Whether one can possess a higher level of will depends on personal training.
The so-called state of mind can actually be understood as a state of will amplitude.
The higher the state of mind, the more concentrated the will and the higher the level.
Now Shen Mu's state of mind is still blessed. Now, with a little training, Shen Mu will be able to easily condense his will dozens or even hundreds of times and reach the limit of the will of the Lord of the Universe.
...In the Milky Way, Shen Mu’s kingdom.
A wooden house flowing with the power of time and light is suspended in the palace.
“I didn’t expect that after breaking through to immortality, I still need the blessing of the Palace of Time to temper my will.”
With the infinite energy supply, the flow of time in the Hall of Time was accelerated again to a hundred times that of the original universe.
The Yanshen clan's clone sat in the Hall of Time and once again activated his previous secret method of evolution.
The fear of death from deep in his genes revived and began to frantically attack Shen Mu's will.
Although the clones of the Yanshen clan have evolved to the limit now, this secret method of evolution can still be used as a secret method to train will to a certain extent.
It’s not that humans don’t have the secret methods of willpower training, but the principles are all about creating pain and enduring it.
Compared to this kind of emotion that directly triggers the great fear of death in life, it is a bit rough.
Shen Mu estimated that the real creator of this so-called secret method of evolution was most likely Zuo Shanke.
As time passed, the Yanshen clan's clones pushed the fear of death to the extreme.
Even Shen Mu needed to concentrate all his energy to fight against this great fear.
This is because Shen Mu has a strong state of mind, otherwise using this method to train his will would likely cause his personality to collapse.
In the blink of an eye, more than two hundred years had passed in the outside world.
In the Hall of Time, the clone of the Yanshen clan has been training his will for more than 20,000 years.
During these twenty thousand years, under the impact of endless extreme terror, Shen Mu's soul will was condensed to an extreme.
It was as if a huge quasar was compressed into a tiny crystal diamond, causing the clear light above the soul to condense countless times.
……
Earth, Kyoto Villa.
In the bedroom, Shen Mu, who had been in seclusion for more than two hundred years, slowly opened his eyes.
Endless and pure soul light flowed in Shen Mu's eyes. As Shen Mu's will revived, it seemed as if a terrifying giant beast slowly opened its eyes.
"My will has finally reached the pinnacle of the Lord of the Universe. I have already sensed that invisible barrier. As long as I cross it, I will have the will of a true god."
There is indeed an invisible barrier between different levels of will.
In the original novel, when Luo Feng recognized the Star Tower as his master, he broke through a barrier of will. His will triggered a qualitative change in his soul, and he successfully recognized the Star Tower as his master.
If Shen Mu is willing, he can try to impact the will of the true god level when he is at the immortal level.
But this is really too difficult. I don’t know how many years it will take to reach this step. There is no need to suppress myself like this.
Shen Mu said, "Tuanzi, there haven't been any accidents on Earth in recent years, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, virtual light and shadow condensed in front of Shen Mu, forming the shadow of a fat panda.
"Master, everything is fine on Earth."
"Luo Feng is still in the Star Tower area."
"Hong and Lei Shen both became members of the top core of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena, the Giant Axe Secret Realm."
"But the 'Demon Hand King' that the master asked me to monitor secretly left his location more than a hundred years ago and changed his name to 'Troll King' in the battlefield outside the domain."
"In order to prevent the Demon Hand King from falling unexpectedly, Tuanzi took it upon himself to send a servant of his master to secretly monitor him."
The Demonic Hand King was the culprit behind the death of Teacher Huyan Bo.
With Shen Mu's current strength, it would be effortless to crush the Demon Hand King, but there is no need to do so.
Shen Mu plans to break through to the level of Universe Master in the future, and use the secret method of controlling time and space of the World Tree clone to directly reverse time and space and resurrect Teacher Huyan Bo.
In the end, Teacher Hu Yanbo settled this feud with his own hands.
The so-called reversal of time and space and resurrection is just a derivative means of controlling time and space, and it is an ability bestowed by the original universe.
Whether it is the Lord of the Universe's control over time and space or the World Tree's secret method of controlling time and space, they are not their own abilities, but privileges granted by the original universe.
However, the Immortal World Tree’s power to control time and space is not as great as that of the true Lord of the Universe. One must reach the level of the Lord of the Universe to reverse time and space like the Lord of the Universe.
"Very good, just continue to monitor the Demon Hand King to prevent him from falling accidentally."
Shen Mu nodded slightly, and then looked towards the other side of the universe.
This time, Shen Mu plans to go to the Wuhua Secret Realm as an Earthling.
The main reason is that the Silver Sand King is too famous.
Moreover, after experiencing the previous assassination incident, even if Shen Mu appeared in a swaggering manner as the King of Silver Sand, the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf might not have the courage to attack Shen Mu.
……
Yankou, a special life form nurtured by the extremely cold air unique to the Wuhua Secret Realm, is born with a hundred times the genes.
There are thousands of Bandits in the entire universe, hundreds of them have become immortals, and two of them have become Universe Masters!
Shen Mu's target is the Venerable Zichang Kou, who is also the Cold Wind General, one of the 72 generals of the Ancestral God Religion and is under the command of the Water Beast God.
In the Ice Prison Star Belt, in the endless starry sky, a magnificent ochre-colored mountain suddenly appeared out of thin air.
"Shen Mu, a member of the human race and a peripheral member of the Ancestral God Cult, has come to pay respect to the Cold Wind God General!"
On the top of the mountain, Shen Mu’s aura was fully activated, with a hundred times the genes and a hundred times the amplitude. The terrifying energy fluctuations shook the starry sky, making him one of the best among the cosmic masters.
Shen Mu did not release his pressure intentionally, but the powerful energy fluctuations made countless bandits playing on the Ice Prison Star and in the Star Belt River tremble with fear.
Even those bandits at the immortal level felt a tremendous sense of oppression.
These bandits were born with a hundred times the genes, and each of them could be at the immortal level, possessing a basic divine body comparable to that of the universe's great masters, but most of them chose to waste their talents instead of practicing diligently.
Only a very small number of bandits have an amplitude of more than ten times, but it is still not enough in front of Shen Mu.
"Human Shen Mu, I've heard of you. When did you become a peripheral member of my Ancestral God Cult?"
A stream of purple light streaked across the sky and emerged.
This is a figure about three meters and two meters tall with a slim figure, it is Venerable Zichang Kou.
She was purple all over, with hundreds of purple braids hanging from her head. Her body was covered with purple crystal-like armor, which was exquisitely carved and translucent. Through the translucent armor, one could see the vague naked body of the purple figure, who looked similar to a human female.
Shen Mu flipped his right hand, and the ancestral god order bestowed on him by the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds emerged.
"Ancestor God Order? The soul mark is indeed yours, and you are indeed a member of my Ancestor God Cult."
Venerable Zichang Kou was originally a little angry, thinking that Shen Mu was pretending to be a member of the Ancestral God Sect.
But after seeing the Ancestral God's Order, his attitude softened and the look he gave Shen Mu became much more friendly.
“I never thought that the genius who was famous among the human race thousands of years ago would now grow up to be the super immortal of the Barking Mirror King.”
Venerable Zixian Kou sighed and said, "Why are you looking for me?"
Shen Mu bowed slightly and said, "Junior wants to enter the Ice Prison for training!"
Venerable Zichang Kou was slightly startled and said, "With your strength, you are absolutely invincible in the Ice Prison. There is no effect of training at all."
"Please help me, senior." Shen Mu continued.
Seeing this, Venerable Zichang Kou said without further ado, "Since you are also a member of the Ancestral God Sect, I will let you stay in the Ice Prison for a hundred years."
Shen Mu quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Your Excellency."
Some of my friends said that they couldn't accept the plot of enslaving the Lord of the Universe in the first two chapters, so I changed it. It has no impact on the later part of the story. Brothers who are interested can go and take a look.
