Swallowing the Starry Sky for Billions of Years

Chapter 776 Revisiting the Primal Star

The Lord of Chaos exchanged for treasures to familiarize himself with, while Guen entered the treasure vault alone.

'Why does it feel like, despite my diligent cultivation, my wealth always surpasses my abilities?'

Some treasures haven't even been fully explored, such as the Blood-Eyed Mirror and the Su Yin Bell. The Su Yin Bell was something they scraped together by selling everything they owned, but now they're starting to look down on it.

After repaying the 25 Treasure Points from Wan Hong Miao Cai Lake, Gu En also felt troubled, with 452 Treasure Points remaining. However, the subsequent treasures were not so easy to choose from, mainly because the quantity had decreased.

Gunn can target top-tier Arcana weapons or high-tier Arcana items.

In the end, they only managed to acquire two high-grade treasures.

The advanced soul treasure "Yuanxiao Heart Rank" is worth 260 treasure points, which is much more valuable than the regular advanced soul treasures. This is because it can not only be used for defense, but also has seven ranks of heart rank. Every time the consciousness ascends to a higher rank, the soul defense and the use of soul secret techniques will be amplified.

The first tier has defensive capabilities equivalent to a high-grade soul treasure with 100 treasure points.

After refining it, Guen easily reached the third tier. Its defensive effect was already worth 150 Treasure Points, and it also had an additional arcane amplification effect. And this was only the third tier. The reason why the total price was only 260 Treasure Points was that compared with other top-grade high-level soul treasures, its functions were more dispersed.

For example, the high-level soul treasure "Nether Abyss" is worth 480 treasure points, making it the most expensive high-level soul treasure. It only provides pure defense, and its defensive effect is extremely exaggerated.

Secondly, there is a high-grade auxiliary treasure, the "Guardian of Kankelda," worth 74 treasure points. It is a masterpiece crafted by a cosmic venerable who always used his natal Kankelda to roam the universe. After his death, this treasure changed hands several times before ending up in human hands.

It can directly connect to the origin of the universe, forming a rock life form hundreds of kilometers high. It can autonomously learn secret techniques, etc. As long as it is near the holder of the treasure, it can take one-third of the final material damage in place of the original body. When not summoned, it can transfer one-third of the unowned divine power it has absorbed beyond the limit to its master until the master's divine body can also remain intact, or store it and condense it into a crystal that can restore the divine body in one go. Anyone can use this crystal. It can restore 10% of the divine body at a time, but a maximum of three crystals can be kept at the same time. It is not afraid of being destroyed. If the treasure is intact, it can be restored to its complete form in a maximum of ten eras. It can also be used to explore dangerous places, making it extremely flexible.

Gunn tried it out. With his current divine body strength, he was able to maintain the burning of divine power and keep his divine body at 100%. He estimated that the rate of divine power burning was a fixed value. Of course, the Lord of the Universe would undergo a different sublimation, a hundred times that of the Venerable. At that time, the recovery speed of the Kankelda Guardian would not be able to keep up.

'This is what a high-level primordial treasure should look like. My primordial essence has concealed its face, and now my gene multiplier has increased to 100 times, and can increase again by one time. When it reaches 101 times, perhaps then I will be able to glimpse its full form.'

Primal treasures are quite special. Some are purely for amplification, while the mainstream ones restore divine bodies. The Guardian of Kankelda also fits this characteristic. As for its effect of summoning rock lifeforms, that's secondary. Kankelda himself poured his heart and soul into it. The rock lifeforms have only mastered the secret method of fusing the laws of earth and space, and have the combat power level of a high-level Venerable. But if you want to raise it even higher, you can only give it treasures. Besides equipping it with some heavy treasures, Gunn won't make any more investments. Not summoning it to restore divine power is more useful.

With 118 Treasure Points remaining, enough to upgrade some treasures, Gunn felt there was no need to.

The Eight Universes Palace and the Myriad Rainbow Lake are sufficient. If we don't bring out the Yuanxiao Heart Steps and the Kankelda Guard, no one will know what kind of treasures they are. The Eight Universes Palace and the Myriad Rainbow Lake are necessary. If they are too ostentatious, it would be unreasonable for the Lord of the Universe not to pay a visit.

In the following period, Gu En honed his willpower to reach a higher level of spiritual cultivation while simultaneously entering the Golden Origin Realm to enslave alien venerables.

Some miscellaneous information was quickly processed and then tossed aside.

For example, the whereabouts of Bai Huixingchen, whom he was still very concerned about, has also been found. If his willpower had not broken through before, he would have been very concerned, but now he is not in a hurry.

After creating the Arcane Starry Sky, attempting enslavement became much easier. Firstly, his willpower had strengthened, and secondly, the arcane technique was perfected. The previous failures were also to refine the soul-enslavement arcane technique, Divine Omen Dream Melody. The Dream Melody wasn't completely abandoned; it was the foundation of all of Gu En's subsequent arcane techniques. The Divine Omen Dream Melody was still in use, while other Dream Melodies were integrated into a higher arcane technique. The five strongest Venerables—Axe Guardian Venerable, Purple Radiance Venerable, Cold Ginseng Palace Master, Rock Blood Demon Azure, and Void Fire Venerable—had all successfully enslaved their lords.

Among them, Venerable Zihui and Palace Master Hanshen are the most ordinary. Although they are not weak, they are not special. Only Palace Master Hanshen has an ordinary treasure called Hanshen Palace, which has a deterrent effect on the other Venerables.

Axe Guardian Venerable has two clones; Rock Blood Demon Azure is a special life form that combines the characteristics of both rock and flesh life forms. It has strong defense and powerful recovery ability, but its weakness lies in its will. Its combat power is indeed strong, and it is said that it is protected by some special life forms. Its defeat at the hands of Gu En this time surprised many life forms; Void Fire Venerable is the youngest among them, with a lifespan of only about five thousand epochs. This is very young. It should be noted that the youngest of the other Venerables, Rock Blood Demon Azure, has a lifespan of nearly six hundred thousand epochs.

Having been kidnapped by Gunn, Venerable Voidfire was the strongest member of their race. The other two Universe Venerables, though filled with anger and hatred, were powerless to do anything. However, it was also due to Gunn's influence that this race, which had always sought to remain independent, joined the Thorn Ring Alliance.

"Guen, let's go." The Chaos City Lord, who was tens of thousands of kilometers tall, with silvery-white skin and thousands of tentacles on his head, and holding a mottled stone club, called out to Guen, preparing to go to the Primal Star together.

He naturally wanted to bring all five Venerable Ones with him. The flying palace was special; people inside could still contribute.

……

On the Primordial Star, a continuous mountain range, Gu En flew leisurely, encountering no life along the way. Over the past hundred epochs, although the Primordial Star was still bustling, the gap in strength had widened considerably. At first, even the novice Venerables dared to try their luck amidst the chaos, but after only the first hour, they were rarely seen anymore. Instead, they could still find groups of intermediate Venerables.

Now, unless one is a high-ranking Venerable, there is basically no longer any ability to travel to the Primordial Star.

The high-level Venerables either exchanged the large number of ordinary treasures they obtained for supreme treasures or sets of treasures, and their strength also increased significantly. The strongest group of life forms and powerful individuals all replaced their treasures with domain treasures and soul treasures!

This has led to a situation where some high-ranking Venerables who did not obtain or exchange for powerful treasures need to form teams, mostly in pairs or groups of three. Solo survival is becoming increasingly rare, causing the entire Primordial Star to become much more desolate. Previously, one could easily encounter Venerables by simply flying around, but now other Venerables may only come after treasures appear.

The Primordial Star saw the most treasures and the most activity during its 100th era. After that, the number of treasures produced decreased by one level every 100 eras. Of course, the number of high-value treasures decreased, so now the Primordial Star produces treasures even less frequently.

Gunn's search was also casual; since it wasn't a high-grade treasure, his desire to compete for it wasn't strong anymore.

"Master of Guhui Palace."

Three crystal beings, each three meters tall and possessing perfect faces and bodies forged from translucent vigilance, surrounded Gunn from three directions. Their perfect faces shone with only calm and cold light as they intently stared at Gunn.

“You have many treasures, and you are very skilled in illusion attacks, but we are not afraid.”

"So it's the Purple Jade Star Lords. You still have a chance to turn around." Gunn merely raised an eyebrow, quite indifferent.

The Crystal Clan, in stark contrast to the Prison Clan, is united and adept at cooperation. They usually cultivate and grow together, and at each level, they try to find collaborators. Their secret techniques resonate with each other, unleashing several times their power. They even live in nearby star systems, so they are often named after the star system they inhabit, and are known as Star Lords.

For example, in the Purple Emerald Galaxy, there are three star lords. Each of them is the Purple Emerald Star Lord, but they also have their own titles. They are inseparable, and their titles are usually the same as the real names of powerful beings, and are not specifically mentioned.
