Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 107 The Eight Directions Primordial Mirror Suppresses Marquises
Within the Great Luo Heaven, the Water Qilin's clone shifted its thoughts, using the Kunlun Mirror to locate its main body at the coordinates. Then, it extended its observational perspective to investigate the radiant gold vein.

"what?"

A short while later, the water unicorn clone let out a soft exclamation.

From God's perspective, Lu Jin saw that this underground radiant gold vein was not only widely distributed, but its depth also exceeded his imagination.

Moreover, the distribution shape of the entire Radiant Gold Vein is extremely strange, resembling a vortex, with the highest concentration near the surface and decreasing downwards.

However, the deep part of the entire vein actually extends all the way beyond the exploration area of ​​the Kunlun Mirror!
It should be noted that with the life level of the Water Kirin clone, when using the Kunlun Mirror for remote exploration, the exploration area is a spherical space with a diameter of 100,000 kilometers.

Although the center of this exploration area is not located in the center of the vein, but in the upper layer of the vein, it still means that the Radiant Gold Vein is distributed at a depth of more than 50,000 kilometers!

How could the Nine Heavens Secret Realm, which is only a small secret realm, give birth to such a large Radiant Gold Mine?
Lu Jin's interest was immediately piqued. It was definitely not normal for such a large high-level mineral vein to appear in an ordinary secret realm.

Immediately, the exploration perspective extended downwards along the ore vein.

The deeper you go, the more the area where the ore vein is distributed shrinks.

Moreover, Lu Jin discovered that after going more than 60,000 kilometers underground, the vein no longer ran vertically downwards, but began to run in an arc.

After traveling more than 90,000 kilometers, the diameter of the ore vein was reduced to only a few hundred meters, and it continued to extend downwards at this diameter.

After a while, the exploration perspective extended for tens of millions of kilometers along the 'thin' mineral vein, and after penetrating at least millions of kilometers underground, an underground space appeared at the edge of the Kunlun Mirror's exploration range.

The underground space is not large, roughly shaped like an inverted bowl, with a diameter of tens of kilometers. It is filled with rich energy of the eight lower-level laws, making the entire space colorful.

Moreover, Lu Jin noticed that this underground space was not only connected to the Radiant Gold Vein that he had explored, which was distributed in a vortex shape.

There are also delicate veins connecting in seven other different directions.

However, the difference is that the vein he discovered is a Radiant Gold vein of the Light element, while the veins in the other seven directions are metal veins of the seven attributes: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, and Thunder.

In the central part of the underground space, suspended in mid-air, is a colorful circular mirror with a diameter of several hundred meters.

The colorful round mirror seemed to be breathing, with rich cosmic energy from the eight fine mineral veins emerging and then disappearing into the mirror.

Upon seeing this, Lu Jin immediately understood why the discovered Radiant Gold Mine veins were distributed in such a strange way.

It turns out that the Radiant Gold Mine he discovered, as well as the other seven metal mines with different attributes, were all born from this variegated round mirror.

This round mirror absorbs the eight types of cosmic energy from the outside world. When the light energy passes through the underground rock layers, the rock layers are tainted by the light energy and eventually, after a long period of time, they are transformed into the Radiant Gold Mine we see today.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the distribution of the Guangyao gold veins is so strange.

Moreover, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the other seven metal veins with different properties that connect to this underground space are distributed similarly to the Radiant Gold vein he had explored.

Of course, the above is just Lu Jin's guess, and he dares not guarantee that it is true.

After all, in the mysterious realms of the universe, there are bound to be situations that defy common sense.

A precious baby in the making?

Lu Jin thought to himself.

I didn't try to guess the treasure. The treasure is of a very high level. Given the scale of the Nine Heavens Secret Realm and the concentration of cosmic energy, it is basically impossible for it to give birth to a treasure.

Even if it's just a rare treasure, its value is still astonishing.

If this is indeed a treasure, given its round mirror appearance, it is most likely a treasure of the domain or soul type.

Even ordinary treasures in the realm and soul categories can be as valuable as top-tier treasures.

If it is a top-tier treasure, its value can rival that of an ordinary supreme treasure.

I wonder when this treasure will be fully formed?
After thinking for a moment, the water unicorn clone, now in human form, left the Great Luo Heaven and approached Zi Nishang.

Before long, Lu Jin entered Zi Ni Chang's world ring, and then used the Kunlun Mirror to travel through space, teleporting Zi Ni Chang to a colorful underground space.

The pressure emanating from the treasure was astonishing. With his current strength level, he simply could not withstand the pressure of the treasure, even if it was a treasure that was still in the process of being nurtured.

'Ni Chang, is this round mirror a priceless treasure?'

Lu Jin, inside the World Ring, asked Zi Ni Chang.

Judging from the aura it emits, it is undoubtedly a treasure of great value, but it should be an ordinary one, and it will take a very long time to fully develop.

After a careful examination, Zi Nishang said.

After mastering the top-tier spiritual technique "Thunder Domain Cone" and the soul technique "Soul Suppressing Bell," Zi Ni Chang has begun to attempt treasure refining.

Lu Jin even 'created' a weapon-refining hall next to the Lingxiao Palace of the Great Luo Heaven, with a half-primordial level Qiankun Cauldron inside, to facilitate Zi Nishang's weapon refining.

Thanks to the fact that the Qiankun Cauldron, with its four legs, two handles, and eight sides, resembles the Eight Trigrams, Lu Jin can also grant eight beings the authority to use the Qiankun Cauldron to refine treasures.

The eight people granted the authority to refine treasures are not affected in the process of using the Qiankun Cauldron, except that they cannot take it away.

Although, for the time being, Zi Ni Chang, who has just stepped into the path of treasure refining, has not yet achieved anything.

However, after getting to know it over this period of time, I was able to determine the quality of this colorful round mirror.

'Approximately how long will it take?'

'At least in epochs.'

Lu Jin: "."

At least in epochs?

One era is equivalent to more than ten thousand years!
Following the original story, more than 6,000 years later, Daohe King Luo Feng makes a dazzling appearance on the battlefield outside the region.

One hundred and ten thousand years later, in the 11th era, the Galactic Lord Luo Feng made a grand appearance on the Primordial Star.

By then, even if he doesn't have a cheat code, he can still shamelessly ask his good brother Luo Feng for a set of treasures. Based on their years of friendship, Luo Feng will definitely arrange a set of treasures for him.

"Take it. If you wait until it's fully developed, it'll probably be garbage by then."

Lu Jin said without hesitation.

Once fully formed, it becomes an ordinary treasure. Even if it is a soul-type or domain-type treasure, its value is only equivalent to a top-tier treasure.

He might value treasures of this caliber now, but in the future, they'll be no different from roadside trash.

Just like in the original story, after the primordial star was opened, many powerful people who cared about their reputation discovered a great treasure, but they didn't even bother to look at it.

Rather than keeping it as a treasure, it's better to interrupt its development now, even if it causes it to drop in grade and become a pseudo-treasure, it's still better than a future treasure.

Zi Ni Chang nodded and stepped forward to put away the nascent treasure mirror.

With a thought, Lu Jin, inside the World Ring, communicated with the Kunlun Mirror and, with Zi Ni Chang, traveled through space back to her divine kingdom.

Inside the Temple of the Kingdom of God.

After the ethereal divine power was injected into the variegated treasure mirror to recognize it as its owner, Zi Nishang learned the basic information about this treasure.

Then, Zi Nishang erased her own life imprint from the treasure mirror and handed it to Lu Jin, saying, "The treasure mirror is called the Eight Directions Primordial Mirror. It has all eight lower-level law attributes. It is both a domain-type treasure and a soul-type treasure."

Originally, after its formation, it would have reached the level of a common heavy treasure, but now it has been downgraded to a pseudo-heavy treasure.

In short, the 'premature' Eight Directions Primordial Mirror has seen its value plummet by at least tenfold, making it equivalent to an ordinary heavy treasure, at best a relatively good one among ordinary heavy treasures.

"Is it both a domain-type treasure and a soul-type treasure?"

Raising an eyebrow, Lu Jin took the Eight Directions Primordial Mirror.

He definitely wouldn't want it if it were just a pseudo-heavy treasure of the domain type.

After all, even if it's a pseudo-treasure, it's still a treasure that surpasses G-level, something he can't activate in his current state. It's no exaggeration to say it's like an ant pushing a train.

It would be better to hand it over to Zi Nishang, as it would at least significantly enhance her strength.

However, since the Eight Directions Primordial Mirror is still a pseudo-heavy treasure of the soul type, and has the effect of protecting the soul, it is very necessary for him to use it himself.

After all, with his clones, Lu Jin only had two things to fear.

First, it is the enslavement of the soul.

Secondly, through soul penetration, he was completely annihilated.

Whether it's soul enslavement or soul infiltration to annihilate all clones, having a soul-protecting treasure provides a higher level of resilience.

Even if he ultimately cannot stop it, with the barrier of a soul-type treasure, he might have the opportunity to commit suicide or let the plant life form destroy the opponent first.

"By the way, Ni Chang, there are eight huge metal veins over at our treasure hunting grounds."

I'll have Fatty send you the coordinates. You send eight immortal servants to oversee the operation and open up all eight mines.

"Since you've recently started learning treasure refining, it'll save you the trouble of buying metals."

Remembering the eight super-large mineral veins connected by that underground space, Lu Jin said to Zi Nishang.

This is only possible within a secret realm rich in cosmic energy; otherwise, in the ordinary cosmic sky, a high-grade metal vein of this scale would be extremely rare.

"Well, I'll arrange it right away."

Zi Ni Chang nodded.

Subsequently, the Water Kirin clone returned to the Great Luo Heaven and infused its spiritual power to recognize the Eight Directions Primordial Mirror as its master.

However, the grade of the Eight Directions Primordial Mirror is far lower than that of treasures such as the Demon Refining Pot, and it is not even comparable to them.

However, since it wasn't produced by their own cheat software, and because their own strength level was still low, Lu Jin was unable to quickly recognize the master.

Several days passed before the Water Qilin clone finally recognized the pseudo-heavy treasure-level Eight Directions Primordial Mirror as its master, stored it in its external storage space, and then had its main body, who was training in the Nine Heavens Secret Realm, take it out for use.

The Water Qilin clones rarely leave the Great Luo Heaven; only the main body goes out to train. Naturally, the Eight Directions Primordial Mirror, which can protect the soul, is used by the main body.

At the same time, the mining team dispatched by Zi Nishang, consisting of eight 'blank immortals', also arrived at the star of the Nine Heavens Secret Realm.

Of course, they don't need to carry pickaxes and mine; those tasks are handled by intelligently controlled robots.

All they had to do was act as security personnel, driving away any wild beasts that might come to cause trouble or human realm lords who came to explore.

With their strength as novice immortal military lords, even if they were just weaklings, they could still bully ordinary world lords by relying on their divine bodies with a hundred times the power of a peak ninth-level world lord.

Another week passed.

Beyond the planet Chaoguang, a crimson-gold triangular spaceship suddenly appeared in the starry sky of the Nine Heavens Secret Realm.

'I'd like to see what dangers this small Nine Heavens Secret Realm could possibly pose, that Elus didn't even have time to send out a distress signal.'

Inside the spaceship's control room, Lucian, an immortal god of the main lineage of the Red Horned Humans, thought to himself.

It should be noted that although the patriarch of the Crimson Flame branch, Elus, appears to be relatively weak, he still possesses the strength of a high-level immortal military lord.

There wasn't even time to send a distress signal. If it was done by someone, the one who made the move would have to be at least a Marquis-level immortal.

As for the specific level of the title of Marquis, Lucien couldn't say for sure. After all, with such a surprise attack and the burning of divine power, even a barely qualifying title of Marquis would be enough to easily annihilate a high-level Immortal Military Lord.

Of course, Lucian didn't care about that.

Because he is a high-level Marquis, he is not afraid even if a peak Marquis comes.

Although he possesses an immortal body, he cannot defeat a peak-level Marquis. However, if he is focused on escaping, a peak-level Marquis would generally not pursue him unless there is a life-or-death feud.

After all, the price one would have to pay to completely kill a high-ranking Marquis would be enough to make even a peak-ranking Marquis feel the pinch.

As for being granted the title of king?

That's impossible!

Throughout the entire Heavenly Frost Universe Kingdom, the number of powerful beings who have been granted the title of King is limited.

Moreover, as far as he knew, Elus was also a very perceptive person.

Even if a powerful king were to slap him across the face, Airus would respond with a smile and certainly wouldn't be so reckless as to provoke him.

You could say this kind of person is spineless, but if he doesn't go to the extraterritorial battlefield, his chances of dying are definitely lower than those of other immortals of the same level.

Moreover, in the universe, danger and opportunity often go hand in hand. Perhaps there is some secret hidden in Elus's unexpected fall!

That is why he, who comes from the main lineage of the Red Horned Humans, volunteered to come and investigate.

Lucian's arrival went unnoticed by Lu Jin.

To be precise, it did not attract the attention of the Moyun Vine that had transformed into a blood-red battle armor on Lu Jin's body.

Because Lucian did not care about the Radiant Gold Mine.

Just kidding, it's impossible for a high-level immortal military lord to be instantly killed because of a mineral vein worth only a few hundred Chaos Units, right?
The one who can instantly kill a high-level immortal military lord must at least be a marquis-level immortal. A marquis-level powerhouse would not take a mere hundred or so mixed-yuan units seriously, not to mention that this is not cash, but a mineral vein that needs to be mined.

So he didn't go directly to the mine, but arrived without a specific purpose.

And they were quite lucky; they arrived at a location that was exactly on the other side of the planet, almost completely separated from the mineral vein area.

The unique environment of the Nine Heavens Secret Realm severely limits the detection range of spaceships and probes, as well as the perception range of powerful individuals.

The diameter of the star Gan Guang is as high as tens of billions of kilometers. Lucian, who arrived on the other side of Gan Guang, was naturally not perceived by Mo Yun Teng.

three days later.

"what?"

Lucian, who was flying in mid-air, suddenly let out a soft exclamation and turned to look at the far northeast.

In Lucian's perception, a million miles to the northeast, the life force of an immortal deity had appeared.

Although his aura was not strong, and could even be described as 'weak', indicating that he was only a beginner-level Immortal Army Lord, it did indeed surprise him.

It should be noted that the Nine Heavens Secret Realm is arguably the lowest-level secret realm in the vast universe.

Not only is the secret realm small in size, but the energy is also not abundant. Generally, only ordinary realm lords would come to explore it, so there shouldn't be any immortal gods here.

Moreover, even a powerful realm lord can't defeat an immortal like this. Why would someone who's so weak not stay at home and enjoy their life instead of coming out into the world?

Could it be that you're tired of living too long?

Without much hesitation, Lucian flew northeast.

Elus died too quickly, and since he didn't have a clear goal anyway, he might as well go ask that trashy immortal.

After all, a high-level immortal military lord was instantly killed. Even if their senses were limited, the immortals who were also on the same planet, Zhaoguang, should have been able to detect some of the commotion.

However, as they drew closer, Lucien's initial indifference quickly changed.

Because he discovered that this trashy immortal wasn't there for training, nor was he a bodyguard or anything like that; he had brought a large number of robots to mine.

Moreover, what we're mining isn't just ordinary ore, but a super-large meteorite copper vein that's mainly composed of D6-grade meteorite copper, supplemented by E6-grade meteorite copper concentrate, and interspersed with a significant amount of F6-grade meteorite copper mother metal!

If it were just an ordinary meteorite copper vein, Lucien wouldn't bother with it.

However, the enormous meteorite copper vein ahead made Lucien take a different view.

It's true that those who are granted the title of Marquis and enjoy immortality possess substantial wealth, but this requires years of accumulation.

If it's easy to make a fortune, Lucien wouldn't mind making a windfall.

As for this trash immortal?

Since they're all trash, aren't they just people you can kill at will?
Suddenly, the fervor in Lu Anxi's eyes faltered as he remembered a crucial point.

Could it be that Elus had similar thoughts back then?

The advantage lies with the superior immortal army leader fighting against the novice immortal army leader.

However, this trashy immortal was not without a backer. Just as Elus was about to seize the mine, a Marquis immortal suddenly appeared and easily wiped out Elus, this little flea.
After thinking it over, Lu Anxi, who felt that his own abilities were not bad, decided to go anyway.

Who is he? He's a high-level expert who has been granted the title of Marquis!
Looking at the entire Tianshuang Universe Kingdom, his strength is quite remarkable.

First, test the waters. If they have powerful backers, then simply ask them about news of Elus.

If he doesn't have a powerful backer, then Lucien won't be so polite.

There's no reason not to accept wealth that's offered to you.

As everyone knows, all the treasures within the secret realm of the universe belong to the virtuous one with the greatest strength!
"I've met senior."

Before Lucian could get close, sensing the arrival of an uninvited guest, Zi Zhenfeng, who was stationed at the Fengyun Copper Mine, flew over after notifying his master through soul-level communication and bowed to Lucian.

Zi Zhenfeng was originally a native of the Qiankun Realm and a member of a collateral branch of the Great Qian royal family. After being taken in as a soul servant by Lu Jin, he was granted a Wind Law Godhead and entered the Immortal Realm. He is now a Primary Immortal Military Lord.

Upon hearing this, Lu Anxi raised an eyebrow slightly.

From the other party's tone alone, Lu Anxi gleaned an important piece of information.

—This trash immortal is most likely unrelated to the unknown powerful being who destroyed Ailus.

After all, Airus and he were both from the same Red Horned Human race, and their physical characteristics were similar.

If the other party is related to that unknown powerful figure, there's no reason why one wouldn't feel disgust or other similar emotions.

Of course, Lucien did not rule out the possibility that the other party was putting on an act.

Lucian probed, "I come from the Crimson Horned Human Clan. One of my kin, an immortal, perished on the planet Guiguang. Have you ever seen him?"

"I have always stayed in this place and have never seen any of your clansmen."

Zi Zhenfeng shook his head.

Let alone immortal gods, he had never even seen a realm lord since he came to this place.

'Stable! '

Lu Anxi, who had been paying close attention to Zi Zhenfeng, was overjoyed.

Luanxi could tell that the other party really had no impression of Elus.

"I want that meteorite copper vein. You may leave now."

Pointing in the direction of the meteorite copper vein, Lucien spoke with an air of arrogance and confidence.

"I'm afraid I can't comply, senior."

Zi Zhenfeng's expression changed, and he refused.

The Lord has entrusted him with overseeing the mine. If he loses the mine, how will he face the Lord in the future?

"I'm afraid I cannot comply?"

The next moment, Lucien, a man of few words and ruthless actions, made his move.

"Whoosh-"

The crimson divine sword materialized in his hand, its vast divine power reverberating. Lucien unleashed a dazzling crimson sword rainbow towards Zi Zhenfeng.

If a mere novice immortal can withstand the full force of a strike from a high-ranking immortal like himself, then Lucian's name will be written backwards from now on!
‘Shua——’

However, just as the crimson sword light was about to strike Zi Zhenfeng, a dark red thorn bush about a meter tall suddenly appeared in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, the colossal divine body spanning 100,000 kilometers manifested, unleashing a powerful energy fluctuation that would make even a king-level expert tremble. The Blood Thorns, burning with divine power, pierced out a blood-red branch covered in sharp thorns.

The crimson branch, resembling a blood-red spear that shattered the crimson sword rainbow unleashed by Lucien, continued its momentum and pierced directly into the dumbfounded Lucien.

"boom--"

A deafening roar resounded through the sky, and Lucian's immortal divine body instantly turned into dust, only to reassemble itself, though his aura was no longer as powerful as before.

Those who are enfeoffed as marquises or above are immortal and possess an immortal body. As long as their divine body is not completely annihilated, they can reassemble even if they are blasted into pieces.

However, immortality does not mean true invincibility; a loss of less than 10% of one's divine body has almost no impact on one's strength.

His divine body suffered a 30% loss, leaving him with only 50% of his former strength.

His divine body was 50% damaged, and his strength was reduced to only 10%.

Once the divine body is lost by more than 70%, its strength will be reduced to almost nothing.

If more than 90% of the divine body is lost, the person will generally lose consciousness and fall into a deep sleep.

The specific threshold for falling into slumber depends on the strength of the immortal deity's consciousness. Those with weak consciousness may fall into slumber if they lose less than 90% of their divine body, while those with strong consciousness can endure until they lose more of their divine body before falling into slumber.

"52%?!"

Lucian exclaimed in terror.

With just one strike, this immortal-level blood thorn destroyed 52% of his divine body.
"call out--"

Before Lucien could recover from his shock, the blood-red branch transformed into a heaven-piercing spear once more.

"boom--"

This time, Bloodthorn restrained most of its power, only obliterating about 40% of Lucian's divine body.

After being shattered and then reassembled, Lucian, whose divine body had suffered a 92% loss, fell into a deep sleep.

Then, engulfing the unconscious Lucien, Bloodthorn's enormous divine body rapidly shrank and then disappeared.
