Universe Venerable

Cultivation Ranks

• Immortal
• Universe Venerable
• Universe Master

Etymology

This is a section added primarily due to the difference between the English-fan translation of the Novel and the true Chinese meaning.
Original Chinese characters: 宇宙尊者(yǔzhòu zūn zhě)

• The first two Characters 宇宙(yǔzhòu) just refer to the Universe or Cosmos. In fact they can be found quite commonly in this novel. The English Novel also translated them as Universe, so here no issue can be found. The real issue are the last two Characters.
  
• The last two Characters 尊者(zūn zhě) can first be split into their own origin. 尊 (zun) means respect or honor, 者 (zhe) means person. As such it would either be translated as "Venerable One", "His/Her Holiness" or "Venerable Sir". It's a title of honor and they are accorded a great deal of respect, especially because of their age, wisdom, or character. In the work Swallowed Star Universe Venerable are the high-level of any ethnic group and as such a title like this is understandable. In weaker ethnic groups they are the main pillars, whereas in strong/peak ethnic groups they may not be the main pillar but definitely are still pillars of that group.
  
  

The English Novel translation however chose the term "Knight" instead. Seeing that there are also Knights in the army this title doesn't represent nearly the same idea. Neither is it a translation of the Chinese characters.
As such we chose the use the term Universe Venerable instead. It may be inconvenient to Novel readers who are used to "Universe Knight" however we want to focus on the correct terms. To take novel readers into account we still left a redirect from Universe Knight, should one search for that term.

• In the World of Jin, Universe Venerables are referred to as Law Venerables (法则尊者(fǎzé zūn zhě))
• In the Original Universe, they are sometimes separated into Space Venerables (空间尊者(kōngjiān zūn zhě)) and Time Venerables (时间尊者(shíjiān zūn zhě))

Description

Universe Venerable is the next tier of cultivation beyond Immortal. While Immortals can be sorted into Immortal Army Lord, Immortal Marquis, and Immortal King, these are differences in power rather than in tier. As a result, a World Master who breaks through to Immortal can immediately become either an Immortal General, Immortal Marquis, or an Immortal King, but they CANNOT become a Universe Venerable, even if they have a Life Gene Level high enough to match the power of a Universe Venerable.

Some at this level can reach a Spirit Energy amplitude of 10,000; it is implied that the Devil's Voice God General inheritance would enable one who completed it to reach 10,000. Their attacks cause space maelstroms and are capable destroying the fabric of space itself. Even the weakest Universe Venerables can completely destroy an area 10 million kilometers in diameter!

Their understanding of the Original Laws is much higher than that of even Invincible Immortal Kings; King Zhenyan was able to escape Universe Venerables in battle but still could not defeat the 21st guardian of the Tong Tian Bridge, even after hundreds of millions of years of training, due to this difference in law comprehension. Universe Venerables can easily defeat Immortal Army Lords and Immortal Marquises, and unless the Immortal King has significant amplification techniques or a high Life Gene Level, they cannot escape a Universe Venerable. Universe Venerables typically create Pinnacle Techniques and Ultimate Techniques, and are far superior with their use of the major techniques of the Upper Laws than Immortals.

Wealth and Prestige

A Universe Venerable can be considered a true great being, important even within a Pinnacle Race, and can be the foundation of a weaker race. With their power and importance to their race, they would generally own Heavy Treasures and even Common Arcana. Counting their wealth with currency is essentially impossible; any Universe Venerable could easily give away 200 billion Mixed Yuan Units. They are able to own a huge Starfield and create a Universe Country, managing and accumulating additional resources through it. They are incredibly discerning regarding choosing a disciple, as they have typically lived for hundreds of millions of years and have seen many young geniuses rise and fall. Their own masters are typically Universe Masters or True Gods, and they are privy to knowledge that very few in the Original Universe possess; they are able to participate in grand events and battles, such as the opening of an Original Star.

Breakthrough

There are two routes(ways) of becoming a Universe Venerable.

1. Comprehending any Lower Law and comprehending the Law of Space
2. Comprehending any Lower Law and comprehending the Law of Time

Universe Venerables are thus divided into Space Venerables (who have mastered Law of Space ) and Time Venerables (who have mastered Law of Time ). Their Divine Body fundamentally changes, able to condense 100 times the volume of Divine Power that an Immortal King can, and their Divine Power is 100 times as pure. With the additional increases in soul amplification and law comprehension, they are on a completely different level than Immortal Kings.

Tiers

Split into 5 Levels:

Stage	Sub Tier	Power	Durability	Additional Notes
Beginner / Primary / Elementary 宇宙初等尊者	-	Normal human beings have strength equivalent to 10 million Peak World Master Level 9
Intermediate / Medium / Secondary 宇宙中等尊者	-
Advanced / High / Senior 宇宙高等尊者	-
Universe Overlord 宇宙霸主	Normal	They have powerful attacks due to the Pinnacle or Ultimate techniques they created, and some could even destroy Heavy Treasures. Their Willpower, law comprehension, and techniques could rival the weakest Universe Masters!	Universe Overlords were incredibly difficult to kill. When they quickly realized that situations were unfavorable, they would immediately attempt to escape, stall, or call for help. Their willpower makes it incredibly difficult for their soul to be controlled by Universe Masters. If someone attempted to kill them through Soul Attack and they couldn't defend against it, they would self-destruct! Due to the purity of their Divine Power, even if someone was able to diminish their Divine Body, one would have to diminish it until only 1% remained in order to put them into a Deep Sleep. Their bodies are not much better at defense than those of Advanced Universe Venerables, but due to their talents, Universe Overlords generally have 2 to 3 Common Arcana. They usually had armor and a weapon, though rarely soul-type or flying palace-type Arcana. Even with equipment, they required High Arcana armor to avoid dying in one move from a Top Universe Overlord or Universe Master.	Rather than an evolution of the Divine Body, like the breakthrough from Immortal to Universe Venerable, they are termed Universe Overlords due to their incredible talents. They were almost perfect in terms of soul amplification. Due to their abilities, resurrecting them is akin to resurrecting a Universe Master, so the backlash from the universe is incredible. Even one as strong as Primal Chaos City Leader would fall from the backlash of resurrecting a Universe Overlord, so generally only True Gods are able to do so.
	Top/Apex 顶尖宇宙霸主	With stronger Life Gene Levels, their Divine Power is purer, making their attacks much stronger. For example, Black Sky Seigneur, with his 8,000 Life Gene Level, had Divine Power almost 100 times purer than that of Venerable Tian Yang. His 1 million kilometer body meant that even though he also had High Arcana armor like Tian Yang, Luo Feng needed a force two times higher than I Am the Universe to achieve the same result against him! They generally have stronger Arcana than normal Universe Overlords, adding to their combat ability. Generally only Universe Masters can destroy 10% of a Top Universe Overlord's Divine Body, but Luo Feng was able to do so as a Top Universe Overlord due to Golden Light, his Universe Master Ultimate technique.	As Special Lifeforms, they typically have very large Divine Bodies and can endure stronger attacks than normal Universe Overlords. Top Universe Overlords have all the talents of Universe Overlords, but with stronger Divine Bodies and Life Gene Levels, making them extremely difficult to kill, even for Universe Masters.	While normal Universe Overlords achieve their status through genius talents, Top Universe Overlords are those with higher Life Gene Levels. Typically Special Lifeforms or ordinary lifeforms who have possessed one, though some may enhance Life Gene Level through things like the Nine Volume Manual. Like Universe Overlords, they can be resurrected by True Gods, making them incredibly valuable to a race or alliance! Normally, the number of Top Universe Overlords is equal to the number of Universe Masters within the race or alliance. However, because humans are ordinary lifeforms, they only had 4 Top Universe Overlords (including Luo Feng) despite having over 10 Universe Masters.

• Examples:
  • Advanced/High/Senior: Venerable Bloody Wing
  • Universe Overlord: Venerable Pei Feng
  • Top Universe Overlord/Apex Universe Overlord: Black Sky Seigneur

Universe Overlord

Universe Overlords (宇宙霸主(yǔzhòu bàzhǔ), lit. Universe Overlord) differ from Advanced Universe Venerables in their incredible talents. While their Divine Bodies are no different from Advanced Universe Venerables, their amplification techniques, attacking techniques, Willpower, and law comprehension match the weakest Universe Masters, making them far superior to Advanced Universe Venerables. They wield Common Arcana and even High Arcana, through which they can fully perform their techniques. Only True Gods and truly powerful Universe Masters with large Divine Bodies are able to use Time and Space Reversal on Universe Overlords.

Examples:

• Evil Wing Sect Master
• Feather Dark Seigneur
• Flourishing Light Seigneur
• Forked Blood Palace Leader
• Mud Frog Sage
• Ninth Brother
• Shadow Monarch
• Venerable Ba Feng
• Venerable Bai Feng
• Venerable Bei Feng
• Venerable Bi Fa
• Venerable Ce Tian
• Venerable Chrysalis
• Venerable Diving Sail
• Venerable Drought Demon Sword
• Venerable Green Dou Kou
• Venerable Gui Yi
• Venerable Jiu Feng
• Venerable Ma Sha
• Venerable Man Ke
• Venerable Pei Feng
• Venerable Thousand Shadow
• Venerable Tian Yang
• Venerable Undying
• Venerable Wang Jia
• Venerable Zhong Zhan
• Xi Luo Duo
• Zha Wei Seigneur

Top Universe Overlord

Top Universe Overlords (顶尖宇宙霸主(dǐngjiān yǔzhòu bàzhǔ), lit. Top/Apex/Best Universe Overlord) are Universe Overlords with a higher Life Gene Level, and they tend to be Special Lifeforms. With their exceptional skills, large Divine Bodies, and more powerful Arcana (some even have Top Arcana!), they can survive combat with weaker Universe Masters. Due to their techniques and Divine Power, Top Universe Overlords can kill Universe Overlords even if they are wearing High Arcana Armor. Their ability to fight Universe Masters, while still being able to be resurrected through Time and Space Reversal (albeit only by True Gods) makes them invaluable to their race or alliance. Normally, the number of Top Universe Overlords and Universe Masters is roughly the same within a race or alliance, but since the Human Race are ordinary lifeforms, they have nearly 20 Universe Masters and only 3 Top Universe Overlords before Luo Feng breaks through.

Examples:

• Black Sky Seigneur
• Blood Fire God-General
• Cold Ice God General
• Criminal Light God General
• Devil's Voice God General
• Fei Cang God General
• Lord of Fan Nuo Fortress
• Luo Feng
• Star Prison Devil Lord
• Tian Shi Palace Master
• Venerable Ancestral Tree
• Venerable Purple Dou Kou
• Venerable Purple Rain
• Venerable Sky Flower

Quasi-Universe Master

Quasi-Universe Masters (准宇宙之主(zhǔn yǔzhòu zhī zhǔ), lit. Quasi-Universe Master) are special Universe Venerables that only exist in Holy Lands lacking the power in their Holy Land Universe Origins to sustain larger numbers of Universe Masters. These Universe Venerables have completed the Original Law comprehension necessary to become a Universe Master, but could not break through since they could not receive any Divine Power from the Holy Land Universe Origin.

As residents of a Holy Land, they have typically lived for an incredibly long time, some even surpassing 100 Reincarnation Eras, and have extremely powerful Willpower. Venerable Blue Blood was a Quasi-Universe Master.

Divine Body

• When a typical Immortal breaks through to Universe Venerable, then the Original Ocean corresponding to their Upper Law (with a diameter of around 100 kilometers) descends, transforming their God Country and increasing their divine power a hundredfold.

• When Luo Feng broke through, the Space Origin ocean that descended was tens of billions of kilometers in diameter! They will be able to easily manifest any of the lower laws corresponding to their comprehended upper law. Normal human beings have their strength increased from 100,000 times that of a Peak World Master to 10 million times that of a Peak World Master.
  

• Conversion Rate for the received Divine Power from the Original Ocean for normal human beings is about 90%, the conversion rate of the Golden Horned Beast is about 50%.
  

• Should Divine Power be exhausted (30%+ lost) then treasures will be needed to restore it (or a ludicrous amount of time). Those treasures are 10000 more expensive than the treasures needed at Immortal and their cost can even exceed the cost of Heavy Treasure.
  

God Country

The God Country has transformed, and it is easy to use Divine Power create a Divine Power Avatar. It's essentially a clone that can do tasks for you, however its fighting prowess is extremely low. Most often these Avatars stay behind in the Race or Clan to deal with tasks and convey important information to the main body. The God Country of powerful Universe Venerables can reach a diameter of 1 trillion kilometers.

Spatial ability

• The Space Venerable can perfectly integrate into space fluctuations and reappear in a distant place without causing any special changes.
  

• A space distortion by waving their hand can cause space turbulence. Their teleportation distance is thousands of light years without causing space fluctuations, further distances may cause noticeable space distortions. They can sense in all direction at the same time with a radius of more than ten light years.
  

• Universe Venerables can affect the space fluctuations within 1 light year. As such one could no longer teleport or use other aspects of the Law of Space, unless they were able to overpower the other person in terms of controlling space fluctuations. Burning a little Divine Power allows Universe Venerable to interfere with space fluctuations more than 10 light-years away.
