Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

……

Meanwhile, on the other side, after taking the cabin away from the mountain range, the other Zetton clone was finally able to store it in the palace's treasure.

"I never expected that I couldn't store the palace's treasures within the influence range of any mountain peak."

The Jaden clone looked at the wooden house that had been safely stored in the palace's treasures and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If it hadn't been able to be stored there at all, it would have been quite troublesome.

Afterwards, Zetton's clone flew for a while longer before finding a drifting rock and slowly landing.

He found a place to hide himself, and at the same time, he sent a wisp of his divine power to the wooden house.

"I never imagined that the wooden house was actually a supreme palace treasure, so luxurious."

Jetton's clone was somewhat surprised; he had only intended to give it a try, but he hadn't expected it to actually succeed.

There weren't many things in the wooden house, just some basic furnishings and a few scattered treasures.

The items that echo the Dark Demon God Armor are a pair of gloves and a pair of boots.

"really!"

Upon seeing this, Zetton's clone was overjoyed, as it seemed that what had been completed was his Dark Demon God Armor.

Without hesitation, Zetton's clone, clad in the Demon God Armor, entered the wooden house.

Instantly, the black and gold gauntlets and boots flew over rapidly, landing directly on Zetton's clone's pincers and feet, and then connecting tightly with the Demon God Armor.

Click click click...

A series of mechanical movements flowed around the body of Zetton's clone.

As the treasure's components rapidly assembled, they changed shape according to the body structure of Zetton's clone, becoming even more suitable for the host's performance.

During that ongoing process, waves of dark energy and the strongest level of will in the universe surged forth, but unfortunately, they were completely powerless against Zetton's clone, whose will had reached the peak of the strongest beings in the universe.

The entire transformation lasted for three hours before the Dark Demon God Armor slowly came to a stop.

"Owner……"

Just then, a faint fluctuation emanated from the armor on his body, transmitting a message to Zetton's clone.

"The spirit of the Dark Demon God Armor?"

Zetton's clone immediately understood that the armor's spirit had been born probably because all the parts had been collected.

“Yes, Master,” the Dark Spirit replied.

"Even spirits have appeared!"

Zetton's clone thought to himself, then slowly channeled divine power into the armor, wanting to see the upgraded Dark Demon God Armor.

In an instant, Zetton's clone discovered that his strength had directly increased by a level, and he was somewhat astonished.

Aren't the ultimate armor-type treasures primarily for defense? How could they suddenly increase your power level?

"Master, now that the Dark Demon God Armor has gathered its three main components, it can finally unleash a portion of its original power," said the Dark Spirit.

"The main function of the Dark Demon God Armor is to enhance the user's strength. However, since you have collected all three major components, it also has some additional functions."

The Dark Spirit slowly explained, "In terms of defense, the Dark Demon God Armor is comparable to the strongest defensive treasure. It can completely withstand attacks below the eighth level, and attacks of the eighth level and above will be weakened to one millionth of their original strength by the armor."

"In addition, the gauntlet part of the Dark Demon God Armor is comparable to the most powerful offensive treasure."

"As for the boots, they possess the ability to break free from the domain-type and spacetime-type constraints of the supreme treasure level."

"Master, these are the three major functions derived from the Dark Demon God Armor."

"Attack, defend, break free from restraint."

Upon hearing the Dark Spirit's description, the Zetton clone couldn't help but gasp. Such comprehensive functions! It's definitely a top-tier mechanical treasure.

"By the way, Master, the Dark Demon God Armor is still not in its complete form. The complete armor has five parts, but it is still missing a helmet that can withstand soul attacks, and wings that can exert binding power."

As the Dark Spirit spoke, he tried hard to recall his own information.

……

Chapter 325 Breaking Through Perfect Genes

There are five main components in total!

Upon hearing the Dark Spirit's words, the Zetton clone was surprised and delighted.

As the owner of the Dark Demon God Armor, he naturally hopes that his strength will be as great as possible.

"Strength enhancement, weapon transformation, breaking free from constraints, defense against material and soul attacks, application of domains—this is what's known as the most considerate mechanical treasure."

The Zetton clone exclaimed in amazement, "Among the mechanical treasures in Devouring, they are known for their thoughtfulness, but I never expected that there would actually be such a versatile and functional mechanical treasure."

Having this mechanical Arcana item can replace almost all other types of Arcana items, except for the Palace Arcana.

"A product of the Primal Universe Will is bound to be of the highest quality," Zetton's clone exclaimed, determined to collect all the parts of the Dark Demon God Armor no matter what.

Actually, there are only two major components missing: the helmet and the wings.

"Master, the main function of the Dark Demon God Armor is to enhance your strength. The other secondary functions only have a certain effect and their actual strength is not that high. When your strength increases, you will still need to equip it with some other treasures," the Dark Spirit reminded him.

"I understand!"

The Jadeton clone nodded, fully understanding the Dark Spirit's meaning.

The Dark Demon God Armor is clearly of a high level, but the gauntlet weapon derived from it may only be at the level of a True God-level treasure.

This level of treasure might have been very useful when he was still a True God, but after his strength improved, it became somewhat inadequate, and he needed an even stronger treasure.

In fact, this is true for most equipment; there is a usage limit.

Just like some powerful offensive treasures, they all develop a layer of armor. For example, the Yan Jun Staff, the most powerful treasure in the original work, is far inferior to the most powerful armor treasure, even though it is better than the peak armor treasure.

"That's enough. The upper limit of the Cosmic Sea's realm is only True God."

Zetton's clone's eyes gleamed, and divine power surged within him, once again flowing into the Dark Demon God Armor on his body.

The powerful energy was transformed through layers of secret patterns within the armor, and the jet-black threads, after being transformed, quickly flowed to every part of the armor.

"After one transformation, the power has been increased by a whole level. My sixth-order secret technique, when used by the Dark Demon God, has been directly upgraded to the seventh-order level."

The Zetton clone was overjoyed, instantly sensing the power of the Mechanical Stream Treasure, a completely independent multiplication domain unlike the Arcane.

In Devouring, excluding the foundation of realm, the main components of strength are divided into four parts: secret techniques, weapons, divine power burning secret techniques, and mechanical treasures.

These four parts are all independent multiplication areas. An improvement in any one part will not cover the improvement in the other parts.

In other words, if Zetton's clone can use the Supreme Treasure to unleash a Tier 7 attack, then with the amplification of the Mechanical Flow Treasure, it can directly reach Tier 8.

If one were to obtain the Divine Power Burning Secret Technique, even just the first level, it would allow one to raise their strength by one rank, reaching the ninth rank.

The ninth level is a level that, apart from the suppressed progenitors, the strongest First True Lord in the Cosmic Sea is only at the ninth level.

"Moreover, the power boost from the Dark Demon God Armor seems to be more than just one level."

Zetton's clone used divine power to activate the Dark Demon God Armor, and immediately discovered secret techniques at the second and third levels within it.

Even when Zetton's clone used divine power to burn, the second and third transformations within the Dark Demon God Armor remained completely unresponsive.

“Master, the requirement to activate the Dark Demon God Armor is not to comprehend its secret techniques, but rather to possess divine power,” the Dark Spirit said.

"The first transformation of the Dark Demon God Armor requires divine power at the perfect gene level, the second transformation requires more than 30,000 times the divine power at the gene level, and the third transformation requires more than 60,000 times the divine power at the gene level. The requirements are very high."

"I see!"

Upon hearing the Dark Spirit's explanation, Zetton's clone immediately understood that he was probably the only one in the entire universe who had the opportunity to meet this requirement.

Even Luo Feng had to wait until the arrival of the Jin Kingdom before he could truly master the Divine Power Flow technique.

"In this cosmic sea, the Black Demon God Armor is probably the most suitable treasure for me, without needing Wu Qi to choose it."

Zetton's clone secretly thought, but the most important thing now is to collect the remaining two parts of the Dark Demon God Armor as well.

"Dark Spirit, can you sense the remaining two parts?" Zetton's clone asked.

“Master, it’s probably too far away, or it’s being suppressed by something, so I can’t sense it,” the Dark Spirit said.

"Then I'll have to search the universe myself."

Fortunately, these mechanical treasures are interconnected, so searching for them isn't purely based on luck. As long as the distance is sufficient, they can sense each other.

"Let's search around Liuchong Mountain first!"

After spending several years sorting out his gains and adapting to his increased strength, Zetton's clone officially began exploring the Flowing Mountain.

Unbeknownst to him, Zetton's clone had also explored the Flowing Mountain for tens of thousands of years. During this time, he had fought with some universe lords, devouring a lot of their divine power genes, as well as some biological genes from inside the Flowing Mountain.

After this long period of accumulation, the Evolutionary Atlas within Zetton's clone finally began to rotate again, breaking the limitation of 10081 times the genetic level.

"11000 times!"

Zetton's clone sensed the amplified gene level. Although the gene level had only increased by a thousand times, it was an unparalleled qualitative change.

It is equivalent to the leap from the level of the Lord of the Universe to the level of the strongest being in the universe, which is even more difficult than creating a sixth-order secret technique at the level of the Lord of the Universe.

After breaking through to the perfect gene level, Zetton's clone also sensed the evolution of his divine kingdom in the primordial universe.

If he wanted, he could easily transform the divine kingdom into a microcosm, directly proving his Dao through force and breaking through to the level of the strongest being in the universe.

However, there's no need for that. If he wanted to break through, he could have done so long ago using a sixth-order secret technique.

"I wonder if I can reach the level of 100,000 times that of Zhigao's genes if I devour the World Beast."

"I can't wait," Jetton's clone said expectantly, "after all, in the original story, when Luo Feng reached 100,000 times the genetic power, he also observed the genetic structure of the World Beast's blood."

After all, to achieve the most advanced cosmic structure during the evolution of the microcosm, it would probably require at least a foundation at the genetic level of 100,000 times.

"At the beginning of the One, there are ten thousand heavens!" Jeton's split body silently recited, and there was actually another layer above this structure.

That is the world of ten thousand heavens, which is comparable to the Beast King and the Primordial Universe.

There are also differences between genes that are 100,000 times stronger than each other.

While it was fine for the World Lords to break through to the Divine Kingdom of Immortal Gods, Lu Yunhe did not pursue the ultimate. However, he still wanted to explore the ultimate universe of his own microcosm.

Of course, this refers to Lu Yunhe's main body; the other clones are just for show.

Evolution at the genetic level naturally leads to the evolution of talent.
