He had witnessed the power of the Azure Nether Venerable before, so he naturally knew the strength of a high-level Venerable.
Xingchen is now confident that he can defeat a high-level universe venerable even without self-destruction!
He felt the surging power within him, and a wild, arrogant smile appeared on his lips.
Chapter 111 The strength surges
"If I were to face a powerhouse below the level of King-level Invincible now, I could probably annihilate them with a single strike! Even a Universe Venerable would be injured if he took this attack head-on!"
This is only the initial power of his mastery of the laws of the galaxy. If he continues to improve his genetic level and perfect the fusion of the laws, the power of this strike in the future may be enough to truly annihilate the galaxy and tear apart the universe!
"Hahaha! So happy!"
The stars looked up at the sky and laughed, their laughter reverberating throughout the entire miniature universe.
At this moment, he finally embarked on his own path to becoming a powerful figure!
Xingchen sheathed his sword and stood there, feeling the surging power within him. A miniature universe of galaxies flowed beneath his feet, as if echoing the galactic laws he had just created.
"It's good, but it feels like something's missing."
He muttered to himself, a thoughtful glint in his eyes.
With a genetic level four thousand times higher and having created his own Star River Law, his current strength surpasses that of ordinary Venerables. However, he is well aware that true powerhouses are not born in seclusion.
The stars looked up at the void, their gaze seemingly piercing through the barrier of a miniature universe.
"Flowers in a greenhouse can never withstand the test of wind and rain."
Xingchen sighed softly.
"No matter how powerful my laws are, without the tempering of actual combat, they are ultimately just empty talk."
He slowly descended upon the Milky Way and sat cross-legged. Starlight swirled around him, illuminating his pensive face.
“It is obviously inappropriate to go out for training directly as the Star Palace Master.”
Xingchen lightly touched the void with her fingertips, creating a ripple.
Being too flamboyant will only attract unnecessary trouble.
An idea gradually took shape in his mind.
"I need a new identity."
A glint flashed in Xingchen's eyes, and he clasped his hands together in front of his chest. The power of his innate secret technique, "Creation," began to surge, and countless starlight gathered in his palms.
"A treasure that can be perfectly disguised."
He focused intently on manipulating each thread of starlight, infusing it with the essence of the laws of space, light, and soul. This was not a simple illusion, but a change at the very core of his being.
After three days and three nights, a crystal-clear pearl finally took shape. Inside the pearl, it seemed as if a galaxy was flowing, but on the surface, it was plain and unadorned.
"I'll call you Illusionary Bead."
Xingchen looked at the new work with satisfaction.
This is the first time I've created a treasure with this special function. It took some time to figure it out, but the effect should be pretty good.
He wore the Illusionary Body Bead on his chest and with a thought, his form began to change—his height shrank, his face became ordinary, his black hair turned gray, and even his vast, star-like aura shrank to the level of an ordinary King-level Immortal.
"Gray Blade".
Xingchen softly uttered the name she had just come up with.
He stretched his new body, feeling the effects of his disguise. Even he himself, if he didn't know the truth, wouldn't be able to spot the flaws.
He guessed that even a cosmic overlord wouldn't be able to completely see through the disguise of this treasure. To see through it, one would have to be at least at the level of a cosmic overlord.
Remove the disguise.
With a flash, the star left the miniature universe.
Xingchen stood before the Star Throne in the main hall of the Star Palace, his slender fingers gently tapping the armrest. Starlight swirled within the hall, reflecting in his deep eyes. With a thought, he sent a divine message that pierced through layers of space.
"Biyou, come to the main hall to see me."
As soon as the voice fell, less than three breaths later, ripples spread throughout the hall.
Venerable Biyou knelt on one knee and respectfully bowed: "Master."
Xingchen nodded slightly and raised a finger: "Get up."
The Azure Venerable rose, his gaze questioning. As one of the earliest servants of the stars, he knew his master would not summon him without reason.
With a flick of his right hand, Xingchen conjured a crystal-clear pearl. Inside, a galaxy seemed to flow, yet its surface remained plain and unadorned, its faint starlight only visible from certain angles.
"This is a newly crafted treasure of mine, named the 'Illusionary Body Pearl'."
Xingchen's voice carried a hint of anticipation.
"Could you help me test the effect?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Venerable Biyou's eyes. He had followed his master for many years and knew well how skilled his master was in crafting artifacts. Any treasure that his master treated with such seriousness must be extraordinary.
"Master please give me your instructions."
Xingchen didn't say much, and directly put the Illusionary Body Pearl on her chest. The pearl slowly merged into her body in an instant.
As the starlight shifted, Xingchen's form began to change. His height shrank from 1.8 meters to 1.75 meters, his handsome face became ordinary, his black hair turned gray, and even his eyes, which seemed to contain a galaxy, turned a plain brown. The vast, abyss-like aura around him also subsided to the level of an ordinary King-level Immortal.
A completely unfamiliar "gray-haired man" appeared before Venerable Biyou.
"Now, try to see if you can see through it using your method."
The disguised star, now known as "Gray Blade," spoke in a completely different voice.
The Azure Nether Venerable's expression turned solemn as he carefully examined the person before him. From appearance to demeanor, from aura to soul fluctuations, everything about him felt unfamiliar. He frowned slightly, and his divine sense surged forth like a tide, completely enveloping the stars.
Once, twice, three times...
"Back to the master."
Venerable Biyou spoke.
"With the naked eye and ordinary divine sense alone, no flaws can be found at all."
Grayblade's lips curled into a slight smile: "Continue, investigate further."
A jade-green rune appeared between the brows of the Azure Venerable, which was his most proficient soul-detecting secret technique, "Azure Eye".
A verdant light enveloped Gray Blade's entire body, meticulously examining every inch of his skin and every breath he exuded. This time, the Azure Venerable's brows furrowed even more deeply.
"I sensed something was amiss."
He carefully considered his words.
"It's like looking at a perfect painting, but you always feel that something is wrong. But I can't put my finger on it, and I can't see through the master's true nature."
Grayblade nodded in satisfaction and removed his disguise. As starlight swirled, the Star Palace Master, who once shook the universe, reappeared before the throne.
"very good."
Xingchen played with the re-emerging Illusionary Bead.
"It seems this treasure is indeed as I wished. Unless it is a cosmic overlord-level being that investigates it, no one should be able to see through it. Even if a high-level Venerable sees something amiss, he will not know that it is me hidden under this disguise."
The Azure Nether Venerable sincerely praised, "Master's weapon-refining skills have reached a state of perfection. Such a disguised treasure is probably hard to find even in the entire primordial universe."
Xingchen chuckled lightly: "It's nothing more than taking a shortcut."
He knew there were many more treasures like this.
He put away the Illusion Bead and said seriously, "I plan to go out and train for a while under a new identity. You will come with me, and let Elena guard the Star Palace."
"Master, don't worry."
Venerable Biyou bowed respectfully.
"With numerous princely servants present, the Star Palace is unaffected."
Xingchen nodded.
He then summoned Elena and the others and gave them some instructions.
Chapter 112 Moonlit Azure Realm
……
Xingchen stood with his hands behind his back, gazing intently at the vast starry sky outside the hall: "Biyou, in your opinion, where in this vast universe is the most suitable place for a Venerable-level expert to train?"
Upon hearing this, Venerable Biyou frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. As a veteran Venerable who had lived for hundreds of millions of years, he was intimately familiar with all the dangerous and mysterious places in the universe.
He himself has explored countless secret realms.
A moment later, his eyes lit up: "Master, I have thought of an excellent place."
"Oh?"
Xingchen turned around, a hint of interest flashing in her eyes.
"At the border of the three races, there is a secret realm called 'Moonlight'."
The Venerable Biyou explained in detail.
"This secret realm opens once every 100,000 years, and each opening lasts for 10,000 years. Not only does it contain numerous precious treasures, but it has also been the site of supreme treasures in the past, which is why the cosmic venerables of the three races frequently venture there to explore."
Xingchen nodded slightly, signaling him to continue.
"The most special thing is..."
The Venerable Biyou lowered his voice.
"This secret realm attracts venerable figures from the human, demon, and insect races every time it opens. Even the Northern Frontier Alliance and the Ancestral God Sect occasionally send powerful figures to participate."
What are the skill requirements?
Xingchen's eyes flickered slightly.
"At least the strength of a king is needed to barely protect oneself."
The Venerable Biyou looked solemn.
"When it opened last time, no fewer than dozens of Kings at the limit fell, and even three Venerables were lost. It is a well-known Venerable-level trial secret realm."
