Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 114 The Gift of the King of Tianshuang Kingdom

'Little fellow, you also want to walk the path of the Beast God?'

After a long while, the King of Tianshuang chuckled softly.

At this moment, the King of Tianshuang couldn't help but recall himself from countless years ago, when he had just embarked on the path of the Beast God.

Throughout the human race, every so often a genius emerges who can analyze the mysteries of the fundamental laws of time or space.

However, very few geniuses choose to analyze the mysteries of lower-level laws.

Why?

Because mastering the fundamental laws is very difficult.

For some exceptionally gifted geniuses, analyzing the 108 mysteries of the higher laws before comprehending them makes it easier to master time or space than to directly comprehend them.

However, mastering the lower-level fundamental laws is not difficult, and there is no need to spend a lot of time analyzing the mysteries of the lower-level laws.

Moreover, mastering the mysteries of lower-level fundamental laws cannot bring any benefit to ordinary immortal gods.

There is only one exception.

That is the genius who is preparing to walk the path of the Beast God.

The Way of the Beast God is the Way of Fusion of Laws.

Mastering the full mysteries of the subordinate laws and their corresponding superior laws, reaching the point of 'knowing not only what it is, but also why it is so,' and understanding the complete essence of the two fundamental laws, will undoubtedly make it easier to perfectly integrate the two laws together, thereby sublimating them into a fusion law.

If nothing unexpected happens, Lu Jin's current analysis of the mysteries of the lower-level fundamental laws is preparation for cultivating the path of the Beast God in the future.

Moreover, the Beast God Path that Lu Jin cultivates is the same as his, both being the Water Beast God Path.

'No rush, let's take another look~'

The King of Tianshuang thought to himself.

After a moment's thought, the King of Tianshuang Kingdom took out two pieces of metal, one large and one small, from his World Ring.

The larger piece is silvery-white.

The smaller piece was a crystal-clear, deep blue.

'G-grade Void Mithril, G-grade Abyssal Blue Crystal.'

Immediately, Barn, who was standing inside the hall, recognized what metal his king had taken out.

As the finger traced the Void Mithril, fluctuations of spatial laws arose, and the G-grade Void Mithril was split into two pieces.

Immediately afterwards, the Heavenly Frost King's divine power materialized into a sharp cone, which he then used to carve on the three pieces of metal.

Before long, three metal monuments, one blue and two silver, each over two meters high, one meter wide, and about half a meter thick, were completed.

The blue metal stele is engraved with thirty-six mysterious snowflake patterns, and it is permeated with the aura of the fundamental laws of water.

The two silver metal tablets were identical, each engraved with nine mysterious ice crystal patterns, and they were permeated with the aura of the fundamental laws of space.

“Barn”.

The King of Tianshuang looked at Barn.

"My subordinate is here."

Barn bowed.

"Give it to those two little guys, and while you're at it, tell Lu Jin that I'm waiting for him to take first place."

The Heavenly Frost King waved his hand lightly, and three metal tablets flew to Barn's front.

If it were just Luo Feng alone, the Heavenly Frost Kingdom Lord wouldn't bother to make a move.

After all, in his eyes, a star-level being who has failed to cross the threshold of the superior fundamental laws is not much stronger than an ordinary person and has little value in being cultivated.

But who can blame him when there's still a little one he can look forward to?

We agreed to give a reward beforehand. It's fine if there's no comparison, but if there is a comparison, then it's not easy to just fool people.

As the undisputed ruler of the universe, we can't afford to lose face.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, Barn put away the three metal tablets, bowed, and left the temple.

However, as Barn left the temple, a storm raged within him.

Barn was not surprised that His Majesty had bestowed upon him a carving that would help him comprehend the fundamental laws.

After all, Lu Jin and Luo Feng are only at the Stellar level, and their need for money and treasures is not high. Giving them items that can help them comprehend the laws is undoubtedly the most appropriate thing to do.

Barn was surprised by the message his own king had asked him to convey.

'Could it be that His Majesty the King is going to take on a disciple?'

Barn couldn't help but think to himself.

You should know that our own king has never formally accepted a disciple in all these years!

Of course, although there were no formal disciples, the king still gave a lot of guidance to the younger generation of the clan.

There are countless people in the universe who treat the ruler with the respect due to a teacher, and there are even some who are cosmic venerables.

Three days later, in the Lord's Temple of the Floating City on the Moon Star.

"I have seen immortality."

Lu Jin and Luo Feng bowed respectfully to Barn.

Barn nodded slightly and said, "I have come here on behalf of the King to bestow rewards upon you."

As he spoke, Barn took out the three metal tablets—one blue and two silver—from his World Ring.

With a wave of his hand, Barn sent two metal tablets, one blue and one silver, flying to Lu Jin's front, while a silver metal tablet flew to Luo Feng's front.

"His Majesty the King is in control of the laws of water and space. These three metal tablets were personally carved by His Majesty the King and will help you comprehend the fundamental laws."

Seeing the two of them curiously examining the metal tablet, Barn said something.

"Thank you for your gift, Your Majesty."

The two bowed again to express their gratitude.

Barn looked at Lu Jin and said, "Lu Jin, His Majesty the King has instructed me to convey a message: he is waiting for you to win first place in the Genius Battle."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin was taken aback, then bowed and said, "I will certainly not fail the king's expectations."

Judging from this, it seems that I, Lu, am quite talented, and the ruler of Tianshuang Kingdom has the idea of ​​taking me as a disciple?

Otherwise, why would the ruler of the universe wait for him to win first place in the genius battle?

Barn didn't stay long afterward and left Guanghan Star directly.

"Brother Jin, do these nine icicle patterns represent the fundamental laws of space?"

After Barn left, Luo Feng gently stroked the Void Mithril Tablet with his palm and asked Lu Jin with a questioning look on his face.

Luo Feng had not yet crossed the threshold of the fundamental laws of space, and could not understand these ice crystal patterns.

However, he could still clearly perceive the spatial origin law aura emanating from these nine ice crystal patterns.

Lu Jin nodded slightly and said, "These nine ice crystal patterns contain nine profound laws of spatial origin."

Since you're also planning to delve into the mysteries of spatial laws in the future, studying them will be far more effective than simply practicing the "Bloodstained Secret Manual."

Six months ago, Lu Jin would not have been able to understand the icicle pattern on the silver metal monument.

However, he has already mastered the first of the 108 sword techniques in the "Bloodstained Manual" and is currently practicing the second. He can fully understand the first ice crystal pattern on the silver metal tablet. The nine ice crystal patterns carved on this silver metal tablet contain the profound mysteries of nine fundamental spatial laws!

Although this silver metal stele is certainly not comparable to the Nine Universe Chaos Stele in Chaos City.

However, for any cultivator seeking to comprehend the fundamental laws of space, it is undoubtedly an excellent treasure for enlightenment.

Similarly, the thirty-six snowflake patterns engraved on the blue metal monument are somewhat similar to these nine icicle patterns.

However, the nine icicle patterns contain nine profound laws of spatial origin.

The thirty-six snowflake patterns contain thirty-six profound laws governing the origin of water.

With these two metal tablets containing the profound mysteries of the fundamental laws, the efficiency of cultivating the "Falling Snow Secret Manual" and the "Blood Flowing Secret Manual" will be much higher.

It's no exaggeration to say that Lu Jin has encountered 'investors' once again.

Needless to say, regardless of whether this Heavenly Frost King will take on disciples in the future, and regardless of whether he is an ordinary Universe Venerable or a Universe Overlord, just based on these two Origin Law Tablets, he will definitely become the Lord of the Universe in the future!

who said it?
I, Lu Jin, said it!
Even without him, the favor of giving Luo Feng a spatial law stele would have destined this Heavenly Frost Kingdom ruler to become the master of the universe.

Throughout the original work, who among those who helped Luo Feng did not benefit from it?

If he were truly the overlord of the universe, he would definitely be promoted to the ruler of the universe in the future.

One month later, the final battle of the Peak Genius Tournament began.

However, Lu Jin didn't pay attention to this. The number one player in each world region could directly participate in the final showdown, so there was no need for them to participate in the arena battle and the subsequent cycle battles.

While the arena battles in the virtual universe were in full swing, Lu Jin's main body and his Water Qilin clone were already cultivating the "Bloodfall Secret Manual" and the "Blood Floating Secret Manual" in the Great Luo Heaven, referring to the two Origin Law Tablets.

Moreover, the focus for the rest of the time will be on cultivating these two secret manuals that analyze the mysteries of the fundamental laws.

While Lu Jin and Luo Feng were busy cultivating, Xu Xin and Luo Hua also arrived in the Guanghan Star Region through the Heavenly Realm Passage and the Heavenly Realm Gate.

A month later, a company called 'Yanhuang' was established in the Guanghan Star Region, with Xu Xin as CEO and Luo Hua as investment manager.

Yanhuang Company currently has three main businesses.

The three main purposes are: first, financial investment; second, long-term acquisition of cosmic-level and above corpses; and third, selling Force weapons, psychic weapons, Force suits, and other weaponry and equipment.

Financial investment, needless to say, is purely for making money, mainly based on Luo Hua, the stock market god who never lost in the original work.

Although it doesn't offer a 20% stake like investment companies on Earth, it still provides a significant share of the profits.

It's no exaggeration to say that before Luo Feng took off, Luo Hua was definitely richer than Luo Feng.

The business of collecting corpses is their old profession, and it's all for the sake of Life Source Crystals.

The corpses at the cosmic level and above are all of very good quality, so Lu Jin doesn't need to worry that his long period of seclusion will cause the acquired corpses to deteriorate.

As for the third business of selling weapons and equipment, it's because the automatic treasure refining mode of the Qiankun Cauldron is so powerful that the weapons and equipment produced cannot be consumed internally at all.

In any case, we only sell weapons and equipment of level five or lower, and we don't engage in malicious competition.

Not to mention that there are two Star-Eating Grasses with the ultimate strength of a King in secret, Zi Ni Chang herself can protect this benefit.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that, apart from minors, there are no ordinary people whose life level has not reached the first level of apprentice in Earth and Xuanhuang Heaven.

Moreover, given that apprentice-level cultivators can use planetary-level life source crystals to concoct cultivation resources, there are plenty of resources in the universe that can enable ordinary people to become apprentice-level cultivators. Lu Jin no longer supplies apprentice-level life source crystals, allowing his subordinates to simply spend money on resources like Purple Light Dew.

As for miscellaneous tasks such as using Life Source Crystals to mix cultivation resources, they were all handled by his soul servants or robots.

Four years later.

Earth time, March 6, 2070.

On this day, across the continents and islands of the virtual universe, millions of geniuses from 1008 cosmic nations were teleported to the gathering point of their respective nations.

A floating island above the Frost Sky Continent.

‘Shua——’

At the teleportation point on the floating island, two figures appeared; they were Lu Jin and Luo Feng.

"Mr. Lu Jin, Mr. Luo Feng, please come this way."

A cosmic-level warrior in work uniform, standing next to the teleportation point, smiled and pointed to a road to the side.

"Thank you."

After nodding their thanks, the two walked directly along the road.

Before long, the two arrived at a beautiful square surrounded by flowers, trees and shrubs.

By this time, hundreds of people, both men and women, with different appearances, had gathered in the square.

However, the appearance of Earthlings is considered mainstream among the human races in the universe, and it is especially evident in the Tianshuang Universe Kingdom.

Of those present, about half looked quite similar to humans, and many even looked exactly like humans.

Since they did not participate in the arena battles or the reincarnation battles, and because they did not pay attention to them, Lu Jin and his companion did not recognize the people present.

Similarly, apart from a few who were instantly defeated by the two in the preliminaries, the people present had no impression of the two.

Since people are not familiar with each other and do not know whether the other person has a good or bad temper or is easy to get along with, they will not take the initiative to come over and say hello.

They didn't intend to invite anyone to join in the fun; the two of them quietly waited in a corner of the square.

As time passed, one genius after another from the Heavenly Frost Universe Kingdom arrived.

Shortly after all 1000 people representing the Tianshuang Universe Kingdom to participate in the ultimate showdown of the genius battle arrived.

'boom--'

An invisible pressure enveloped the entire square, causing the faces of the thousands of people present to turn pale.

Even those who were not particularly aware of the situation, except for Lu Jin, Luo Feng, and a few others, began to tremble slightly involuntarily.

Soon, footsteps sounded in the distance, and a bald, burly man, three meters and six feet tall, with a single horn on his head and exuding a terrifying aura, walked over.

The newcomer was none other than Barn, who immediately gave everyone present a rude awakening.

"According to the king's order, I will lead the team of 1000 geniuses from the Heavenly Frost Universe Kingdom in this year's Genius Battle."

You may call me 'Lord Barn,' understand?

Barn's voice boomed like thunder in everyone's ears before he withdrew his oppressive aura.

"understand!"

Everyone present responded in unison.

Barn's gaze swept over Lu Jin, then looked at Luo Feng, and finally turned to the group. After scanning the crowd, he said in a deep voice, "I won't waste any more words. I hope that more of you can achieve good results. Alright, now follow me!"

Soon, under Barn's leadership, Lu Jin and a thousand other geniuses from the Tian Shuang Universe Kingdom were teleported to a brand-new plane created in the virtual universe.

"Skyfrost Universe Nation team, there are 1008 buildings ahead. Your Universe Nation team has been assigned to building number 0126."

A young man in a white robe stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Barn.

"Ah."

Nodding slightly, Barn led his team and flew directly into the distance.

Before long, 1008 buildings came into view in front of Lu Jin's eyes.

The 1008 buildings naturally form a ring, and in the center of these 1008 buildings is a huge plaza filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.

The square was beautiful, with many talented men and women from various universes strolling and chatting leisurely. Looking around, there were at least 100,000 people.
