Chapter 274: Metamorphosis Sovereign

Whether it can bear complete spatial laws is purely a feeling.

Lin Qing slowly closed his eyes.

At this moment, everything he had perceived through his void sense since becoming a Void Creature gathered and pieced itself together in his heart, as if constructing a vast, real world.

And every spatial profundity he had comprehended could also be fully evolved and manifested within this enormous world.

"So that's how it is…"

Lin Qing finally understood: "A Void Creature alone cannot create a world that contains complete spatial laws—it can only piece one together in the heart based on the real world…"

He immediately left behind a clone, while his true body returned to the cultivation chamber behind the Vacuum Veil.

Merging all the spatial profundities he had comprehended into the world within his heart would also take some time, though it was simple enough—advancing now or later made no difference.

"First, I'll undergo the metamorphosis into a Void Sovereign, then head to the Main Star. The clone can drift toward the Main Star slowly."

Lin Qing immediately began focusing on his breakthrough.

Once he became a Void Sovereign, the Spatial Divine Body constructed with complete spatial laws would not only raise his gene index, but more importantly, the might of divine techniques unleashed through the Spatial Divine Body would surge dramatically!

The same Seven-Aspect Divine Techniques and Seven-Colored Divine Artifacts—unleashed by a Void Creature versus a Void Sovereign wielding a Spatial Divine Body—were worlds apart!

Moreover, once he obtained the Spatial Divine Body and underwent a fundamental metamorphosis, he could also cultivate Sovereign-tier secret arts, or the Sovereign stage of secret arts.

At this moment, Lin Qing's life structure and even his soul framework, after merging with complete spatial laws, began undergoing an incredible metamorphosis. The void within his body kept extending and expanding outward, and one micro-void after another opened up inside him.

In a Void Sovereign's Spatial Divine Body, every drop of blood, every cell, every particle was a realm of void unto itself!

Only such a divine body could be called the Sovereign of the Void.

The clone drifted through the Void Sea aboard a divine artifact vessel, slowly approaching the Main Star.

In the cultivation chamber, meanwhile, a massive spatial vortex appeared. Endless streams of spatial power ceaselessly converged toward Lin Qing, and the spatial energy absorbed each moment was nothing short of staggering.

Soon, half a year had passed.

Inside the cultivation chamber, five years had gone by.

Finally, the enormous spatial vortex began to shrink, until it vanished into nothingness.

Everything settled down.

"It's over."

Lin Qing slowly opened his eyes, feeling his now fully metamorphosed self, with a sensation akin to rebirth.

The fluctuations, changes, states, and myriad profundities of space were crystal clear in his eyes. He could easily pry open and manipulate all spatial power, and even sense the deepest essence of space.

Space held no secrets from him anymore.

Through these countless layers of space, he could even faintly glimpse an even more hidden and wondrous law.

This law was completely intertwined and fused with the law of space, as if capable of evolving into everything.

It seemed… everything in the universe originated from it.

This was the supreme law of the universe, or in other words—

The Law of Spacetime.

The law of space was the cornerstone of everything; once the law of time was merged in, spacetime could evolve into all things.

However, the law of time was far too hidden. Only by completely mastering the law of space could one hope to glimpse it, fully fused within.

"No wonder every Void Sovereign can easily create Seven-Aspect Divine Techniques."

Lin Qing finally understood. "Faintly touching the heights of the universe's limits, wielding spatial profundities really is far too easy."

Of course.

Seven-Aspect Divine Techniques were still only scattered spatial profundities. To fuse complete spatial laws into a divine technique was still an absurdly difficult feat.

Out of thousands of Void Sovereigns, perhaps not even one could accomplish this.

Once one created a divine technique using complete spatial laws, they could be called a supreme powerhouse among Void Sovereigns, with hope of becoming a Void Divine Officer—naturally on an entirely different level.

"Just conceiving a spatial-law divine technique doesn't actually feel that hard…"

Lin Qing ran a brief deduction in his mind and already had the beginnings of an idea, but he had no clue how to fuse spatial laws into a composite divine technique.

There was no helping it—the essence of divine techniques lay in certain operating laws at the most fundamental level of the universe.

With his current vision of glimpsing universal spacetime, he finally understood why those who could create composite divine techniques were so rare. Many Void Sovereigns couldn't even create a single-aspect composite divine technique.

Because… the universal origins and operating laws involved in composite divine techniques were bound to be the most obscure and advanced among countless laws.

And spacetime was the source from which everything derived. To use space as the cornerstone and fuse it into such divine techniques was naturally extremely difficult.

"As for divine techniques, I'll take my time conceiving them."

Lin Qing wasn't in any hurry. He rose into the air and casually tapped toward the sky.

Silently, a region of darkness and oblivion resembling a black hole suddenly appeared deep in the heavens, spanning thousands of kilometers, as if it could devour all life. Its terrifying might was enough to make most Void Sovereigns shudder.

"The Spatial Divine Body really is completely different."

Lin Qing showed a faint smile. "My gene index only rose from fifty-eight thousand times the universal standard to sixty-three thousand, but relying on the Spatial Divine Body, I can actually unleash such tremendous might?"

A normal Void Creature's gene index was only about a thousand times the universal standard, and after metamorphosing into a Void Sovereign, most reached six or seven thousand times.

His gene index had originally been fifty-eight thousand times the universal standard; raising it by another five or six thousand didn't mean much.

But what mattered most for a Void Sovereign was the Spatial Divine Body—that was the most special thing about a Void Sovereign.

Therefore, his strength had still surged by an entire major tier.

With the wonders of the Spatial Divine Body, whether activating his set divine artifacts or unleashing divine techniques, the might was far greater than before—this was a difference in essence.

Originally, his combat power had only barely crossed the threshold of the eighteenth layer of the Yu Xingyuan, but now…

Lin Qing immediately entered the Yu Xingyuan Trial to test it out.

A moment later.

"As expected—even without divine artifacts in the Yu Xingyuan Trial, I cleared the eighteenth layer." Lin Qing smiled.

And in reality, once he activated his set divine artifact, the 'Nine-Source World Lord,' his strength would rise by yet another major tier!

"Based on most cases, Void Dominators who create spatial-rule divine techniques usually have the strength of Yu Xingyuan Eighteenth Layer. Facing such an enemy... I only need to use the Nine Source World Lord to easily defeat them." Lin Qing thought to himself.

The most ordinary Void Dominators—those who haven't cultivated any powerful Dominator-level secret arts, have ordinary gene indices, and have only created Seven Phase divine techniques.

Such Void Dominators, relying on the might of their spatial divine bodies, generally only possess the strength of Yu Xingyuan Sixteenth Layer.

And spatial-rule divine techniques, compared to Seven Phase divine techniques, have an essential transformation—as long as one can integrate complete spatial rules, they will be two major tiers stronger than Seven Phase divine techniques!

This is an incomparably exaggerated transformation, and also a miracle whose difficulty is unimaginably high.

Anyone who can achieve this is a worthy super-strong expert of the Void Sea, able to easily clear Yu Xingyuan Eighteenth Layer, and as long as they're willing to take risks or throw in with a major power, their secret arts and gene indices won't be lacking either.

Such experts, even at Yu Xingyuan Eighteenth Layer, couldn't possibly be at the bottom—being in the upper ranks is quite normal.

And what about Lin Qing?

His gene index is nearly ten times that of an ordinary Void Dominator, and combined with the boost from the Combination Art, this is a great advantage.

And the perfect-grade composite divine technique and the Nine Source World Lord can also offset the advantage of spatial-rule divine techniques.

Therefore, his strength is naturally more terrifying than that of many super-strong experts among Void Dominators.

Yu Xingyuan Nineteenth Layer.

Even looking at the entire Void Sea, this is already a very high tier.

"However, once one becomes a Void Divine Office Holder, or a Void Dominator who possesses a Chaos Divine Artifact, their strength is still much greater than mine..."

Lin Qing is also very clear-headed.

Although his current strength is decent, compared to those standing at the peak of the Void Sea, the gap is still very large.

Of course, those at the peak tier are still very few.

Whether it's the Chaos Divine Artifact, revered as the Void Sea's number one treasure, or the Void-grade Divine Office, those are all just a small group of people.

"With my current strength, switching to another divine office, I'd have great confidence in going to Supreme Star to seek a Void-grade Divine Office. Unfortunately... I'm still far from a Chaos God."

Lin Qing shook his head slightly.

He is now already a Void Dominator, so the next step is naturally to aim for becoming a Void-grade Divine Office Holder.

But... a Chaos God is too difficult.

As he knew, every Chaos Child who reached the peak had extremely powerful gene bloodlines, had created composite divine techniques integrating complete spatial rules, and even had their lifebound Chaos Set Divine Artifacts!

With such terrifying strength, they could easily slaughter the vast majority of Void Divine Office Holders.

But, even so, in 8.6 billion years, only that one Destruction-system Chaos God was born.

And that one was from a Third-level Civilization!

The exaggerated difficulty of becoming a Chaos God can well be imagined.

Lin Qing doesn't have any confidence either.

He can only place his hopes on the Primordial Realm, or even the cosmic battlefield between the Void Divine Race and the Yu Xingyuan Demon Race.

"First, integrate complete spatial rules into the divine technique..."

Lin Qing pondered secretly, "As for the lifebound Chaos Set Divine Artifact, the divine core also needs to transform to Chaos color, and I still need to gather many extraordinary rare materials beyond the Void Sea's scope..."

The road is still long; one can only walk it step by step.

"However, with the carrying capacity of the spatial divine body, the Mist Dove Secret Art can also continue to be improved..."

Lin Qing took a deep breath, and a series of information about the Mist Dove Secret Art surfaced in his mind, "Moreover, as long as there are enough rare materials, theoretically it can be raised all the way to the extreme limit of the Dominator stage!"

The limit of the Mist Dove Secret Art at the Dominator stage is close to that of a Chaos Divine Artifact Set.

But the theoretical limit requires a cost far, far too great.

To raise the secret art to such a level, the cost would probably equal ten or a hundred Chaos Divine Artifacts!

Heavens...

As the Void Sea's number one treasure, the most important thing about a Chaos Divine Artifact is the integration of the universe's origin. Even Chaos Children only have crafting techniques and cannot find the universe's origin—they can only ask a Chaos God or the Three Ancestors to help gather it.

Any single Chaos Divine Artifact is enough to trigger a frantic pursuit by numerous Void Dominators and Void Divine Office Holders!

After all, once a super-strong expert among Void Dominators possesses a Chaos Divine Artifact, they can faintly contend with Void Divine Office Holders, and achieving a Void-grade Divine Office would also become very easy.

Yet cultivating this secret art to its limit requires ten or a hundred Chaos Divine Artifacts?

Looking at the entire Void Sea, those who can afford such a cost can probably be counted on one hand!

"Fortunately, I can advance-draw..."

Lin Qing glanced at the Mist Dove Secret Art recorded by the Entropy Reverser, and couldn't help but show a smile: "Worst case, I just won't repay it for now—anyway, there's still plenty of advance-draw slots available."

This is also the benefit of cultivating secret arts.

The requirement for comprehension is very low; it mainly relies on external treasures, refining the universe's origin into one's own power.

As long as the secret art is sufficiently brilliant and powerful, as long as one can withstand the secret art's power, as long as there are enough resources and treasures, and enough time is spent, the secret art's might can keep improving!

"The Mist Dove Secret Art at the Dominator stage..."

Lin Qing mulled over the cultivation method for the Mist Dove Secret Art's Dominator stage, and in just a year or two, he figured it out—after all, it mainly relies on refining the Wind-phase universe's origin from external treasures.

He immediately chose to advance-draw.

In an instant, accompanied by a flood of inexplicable information pouring into his mind, Lin Qing also felt an terrifyingly vast quantity of Wind-phase universe origin converging like a torrent, pouring mightily into his body, beginning to transform the Mist Dove Secret Art!

"Th-this is too much..."

Feeling this Yangtze-River-like surge of Wind-phase universe origin, Lin Qing couldn't help but be a bit stunned.

The rare materials he had previously spent several trillion Void Coins to gather, the Wind-phase universe origin refined from them was only as tiny as a swimming fish—yet now it's this vast?

"Well, the limit of the Mist Dove Secret Art at the Dominator stage is much stronger than those pure-flight Chaos Divine Artifacts, so the Mist Dove Secret Art's limit is naturally also quite exaggerated..."

Lin Qing didn't even dare to imagine what tier the Mist Dove Secret Art could ultimately reach.

But in terms of flight, it would surely skyrocket to a far higher tier than his current World God and Primordial Annihilation!

At the very least, in terms of flight, it's estimated to be stronger than the vast majority of Void Divine Office Holders who specialize in flight.

"Such a vast amount of Wind-phase universe origin, and so dense—how many rare materials would it take to repay it all..."

Lin Qing merely sensed it and immediately abandoned the idea of making up the difference.

It was too exaggerated.

Even if he sold everything he currently owned, it would likely not be enough to repay even one ten-thousandth of the debt.

"Fortunately, my current Order Level is thirty million... I have a full nine Advance Slots; missing one or two doesn't matter much."

Although two Advance Slots were wasted on this secret technique, Lin Qing still felt it was well worth it.

As the Shanhai Realm has transformed to its current state, its population is counted in tens of trillions, stability has improved beyond measure, and thus the Order Level of Entropy Reversers has reached the thirty-million tier.

In fact, according to Lin Qing's estimation, he originally thought the Order Level would be even higher.

But after his circle broke through the planetary scope, it became increasingly difficult to improve; before the Shanhai Realm was opened, the Order Level was only in the hundreds of thousands, and after ten thousand years, it has now only risen to the thirty-million tier.

However, with a full nine Advance Slots, as long as they are arranged reasonably, they are completely sufficient.

"Haa..."

After a long while, accompanied by the final torrent-like wind-aspect Cosmic Origin flowing into his body, the Fog Pigeon Secret Technique finally reached the limit of its current Dominator stage.

"Let's try it."

After Lin Qing pinpointed the coordinates where his clone was located, he immediately used the space-time power of the Vacuum Great Tomb to teleport his main body there and began to try it out with impatience.
