Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 130 The Thirty-Year Term Has Arrived

"Bam—"

Unsurprisingly, in Lu Jin's perception, this Chaos Beast, whose level was only a fifth or sixth-order Domain Lord, was instantly blown off, splattering a large amount of blood, flesh, and bone fragments.

The headless corpse then crashed heavily onto the wasteland.

The next moment, the corpse of the Chaos Beast began to decompose, releasing a chaotic aura.

Immediately afterwards, a turquoise light emerged from the gradually decaying body of the Chaos Beast.

With a thought, Lu Jin used his mental power to envelop the emerald green light.

'Hiss~'

The moment the mental power touched it, the Chaos True Spirit began to gradually dissolve.

Before it could continue to dissolve, Lu Jin absorbed the Chaos True Spirit into the original core he carried with him.

However, before Lu Jin could experience the changes after absorbing the Chaos True Spirit, he saw the Chaos Qi in the distance tremble, and a rumbling sound came from it.

"The extreme cold world is coming!"

Knowing that a large force of Chaos Beasts was about to arrive, Lu Jin did not hesitate at all and immediately unleashed his ultimate skill.

The chaotic currents permeating the primordial universe severely limit the mental probing abilities of spiritual practitioners; even at relatively short distances, Lu Jin is unable to perceive them clearly.

But Lu Jin was not intimidated at all.

A hundredfold increase in life genes plus a hundredfold increase in soul amplitude is equivalent to ten thousand times the spiritual power of a peak ninth-level universe lord, which is even greater than the spiritual power of an ordinary ninth-level domain lord.

With such strong basic mental power, coupled with the sixth level of the Heavenly Frost Divine Weapon, even if there were tens of thousands of Chaos Beasts with low intelligence and a level that would never exceed the peak of the ninth level of a Domain Lord, Lu Jin wouldn't even frown.

Thousands of blue lights radiated in all directions, triggering the fundamental laws of water and space. The world changed color, and an extremely cold world with snowflakes flying everywhere descended, enveloping hundreds of domain lord-level chaotic beasts that rushed in from the nearby chaotic air currents.

"call out!"

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

An extremely cold ice cone materialized and shot into the chaotic beast horde, rapidly drawing a deadly arc.

Wherever the blue-gold light passed, all the chaotic beasts along the way perished and turned into emerald light spots.

Subsequently, it was absorbed into the original core by Lu Jin, slowly increasing the affinity of the main body and the two clones for the fundamental laws of the universe.

Three days later, in the virtual universe, on Thunder Island.

Inside a magnificent temple, a man in a blue battle robe with purple scales sat high on a throne.

What were the results of this group of 1000 geniuses attempting to cross the sky bridge?

The Nine Swords Venerable spoke in a booming voice to a burly man with a lion's head, who resembled an iron tower giant and was covered in golden fur, and asked him.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, of the 1000 geniuses in this group, 996 failed to cross the Heavenly Bridge."

Rong Jun passed the first level, Luo Feng and Bo Lan passed the third level, and Lu Jin passed the sixth level.

The burly man with the lion's head answered respectfully.

"The sixth floor?"

The Nine Swords Venerable raised an eyebrow and ordered, "Send me the video of Lu Jin's battle across the Heavenly Bridge."

"Your Excellency, I was unable to obtain the combat video of Lu Jin breaking through the Tongtian Bridge. The system prompted me that I do not have sufficient permissions."

"That's what the lion-headed giant said."

"Insufficient authority?"

Nine Swords Venerable was stunned for a moment, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

It should be noted that his subordinate was not a weakling, but a newly appointed Immortal King, who possessed a one-star special privilege in the virtual universe.

Not to mention that he was in charge of this year's Genius Battle, and the lion-headed strongman who ran errands for him had a higher level of special authority, especially when it came to matters concerning new geniuses.

"Send me the battle video of Luo Feng, Bo Lan, and Rong Jun."

After a moment's thought, the Nine Swords Venerable gave his instructions.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The burly man with the lion's head sent over the video of the three fighting.

Soon, a projection screen appeared inside the temple, playing a video of Luo Feng and his two companions crossing the Tongtian Bridge.

After watching the video quietly, Nine Swords Venerable waved his hand and said, "You can go now. Remember to keep an eye on it."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The burly man with the lion's head respectfully withdrew.

Subsequently, the Nine Swords Venerable used his special authority, and a string of universal language text appeared on the projection screen inside the temple.

—【Note: This video requires a four-star or higher viewing privilege. Viewers are advised not to share any information related to the video content.】

Soon, the text disappeared, and a video of Lu Jin running across the overpass appeared.

The battle videos of the first four levels of the Nine Heavens Bridge were 'ordinary' and rather boring. Lu Jin directly used the fifth level of the Heavenly Frost Divine Weapon, 'Space Shattering,' to instantly kill everyone in his path.

But starting from the fifth level, the Nine Swords Venerable began to show surprise.

Especially when they reached the seventh and even the eighth level, which the lion-headed strongman had never known before, the surprise on the Nine Swords Venerable's face turned into deep shock.

It wasn't because Lu Jin could unleash the sixth level of the Heavenly Frost Divine Weapon, 'Extreme Cold World,' nor because it was clear that Lu Jin was following the path of analyzing the mysteries of the fundamental laws of space.

Rather, as a cosmic venerable, the Nine Swords Venerable could see that Lu Jin had cultivated the Soul Amplification Secret Technique.

Furthermore, the amplitude of this soul vibration is extremely high, and it is possible that it could reach the limit of one hundred times.

After a long while, the video ended, but the Nine Swords Venerable was still unable to recover.

Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!
How could a tiny creature of cosmic scale possibly have such a high soul amplitude?

You should know that even for him, the amplification of his divine body is only a little over sixty times!

At this moment, the Nine Swords Venerable finally understood why the battle video of Lu Jin breaking through the Tongtian Bridge was classified as confidential.

A complete novice at the cosmic level who had only comprehended the Chaos Stele once successfully passed the eighth level of the Bridge to Heaven. This talent was enough to shock countless people.

After all, even the strongest of those few cosmic-level 'elders' in the Primal Secret Realm could only pass through the eighth level of the Sky Bridge.

In addition, this video revealed some remarkable information.

If even a cosmic-level little guy can cultivate a soul amplitude that is likely a hundred times the limit, then what about a realm lord, an immortal, or even a venerable one? Wouldn't they all be able to cultivate a soul amplitude that is a hundred times the limit?
If this is due to some special soul amplitude secret technique, then the legacy left behind by those worthless gods and generals of the Ancestral God Cult becomes utterly worthless to humanity!

After all, secret techniques can be copied countless times.

As for Lu Jin refusing to give it?

It's alright. Just because we don't give it to them now doesn't mean we won't give it to them in the future.

The Virtual Universe Company wouldn't forcibly seize opportunities from geniuses. If this truly is due to a special soul technique, then as long as Lu Jin remains a member of the company, that's fine. When Lu Jin's strength increases and he needs powerful treasures, he will voluntarily hand them over in exchange for them.

After all, passing on secret techniques to others does not affect one's own strength; on the contrary, it can lead to obtaining treasures and strengthening one's own power.

On the other hand, when the Chaos True Spirit unleashed by the Chaos Beast could no longer allow the soul to continue to transform and enhance its affinity with various primordial laws, Lu Jin returned to his residence in Chaos City.

In the days that followed, aside from occasionally logging into the virtual universe to consult with Chen Yuan, the commander of the Guardian Army, about the "Heavenly Frost Secret Manual," or to ask Teacher Heavenly Frost about the mysteries of the two fundamental laws, Lu Jin devoted himself entirely to free cultivation.

With the Chaos Stele constantly providing guidance and the numerous incarnations of the Blood God Child, Lu Jin's comprehension of the profound mysteries of the spatial origin laws was like a rocket launch.

Besides the profound mysteries of the fundamental laws of space, Lu Jin also delved into the mysteries of the fundamental laws of water.

Moreover, in order to improve the efficiency of comprehending the profound mysteries of the Water Origin Law, the Netherworld Blood Sea clone not only obtained the Nine Universe Chaos Stele for free through the Kunlun Mirror's remote detection mode, but also obtained the Ice Peak Chaos Stele, which was used to learn the Water Origin Law.

Of course, Lu Jin didn't just freeload every time he looked at the Chaos Stele; he still had to put on an act.

Every few years, he would study the Nine Universe Chaos Stele through official channels.

In the first year of Chaos City, after the geniuses demonstrated their talents and potential, there were many super strong individuals who took them on as disciples.

Following Lu Jin, Luo Feng was the first among the 1000 geniuses in the same cohort to become their disciple.

After Luo Feng passed through the third level of the Nine Heavens Bridge, the invincible King Zhenyan King could no longer sit still.

He immediately abandoned his previous idea of ​​"wait and see for now" and decisively took Luo Feng as his disciple.

In Zhenyan Wang's view, if he did not act decisively, he would definitely lose his chance to become a disciple once the Universe Venerable intervened.

It's a very simple question: would you choose an immortal teacher or a venerable teacher?
Is he invincible and comparable to a beginner-level universe venerable?
People with vision know this, but the problem is that a clueless kid like Luo Feng might not know it!

Moreover, the upper limit of being invincible as a king is the initial universe venerable, while the initial universe venerable is only the lower limit of a venerable.

If we disregard teaching ability, choosing any venerable teacher is no worse than being crowned king and invincible, and there is a very high probability that it will be even better.

Is there a powerful figure whose strength is unmatched among immortals who is willing to take him as a disciple?

And such good things?

Without hesitation, Luo Feng agreed immediately.

Not long after Luo Feng became a disciple of Zhenyan King, two more super strong individuals took on disciples.

The ruler of the Mingyan Universe Kingdom took Bolan as his disciple, and the ruler of the Yuanchen Universe Kingdom took Rong Jun as his disciple.

This wave perfectly exposed the flaw of the Nine Swords Venerable being 'too young'.

He wasn't even among the four best prospects in this year's talent competition.

Do you really think that just because you're in charge of this year's Genius Battle, everyone will be under your command from now on?
I want to eat fart!
The first year of Chaos City.

Following Lu Jin, Luo Feng, Bo Lan, and Rong Jun, a series of geniuses who ranked highly in the Genius Battle, including Galesi, Gusiluo, Long Yun, Wuka, Qianshui, and Aichen, passed through the first level of the Tongtian Bridge.

In the second year of Chaos City, people in the Apocalypse District also began to cross the first level of the Sky Bridge.

At the end of the fourth year in Chaos City, all the geniuses passed through the first level of the Bridge to Heaven.

However, by the end of the fourth year in Chaos City, of the 1000 geniuses from Lu Jin's generation, fewer than 800 remained, with over 200 having died.

In the 12th year of Chaos City, Rong Jun passed through the third level of the Sky Bridge.

In the 15th year of Chaos City, Luo Feng unleashed a series of attacks and passed through the fifth level of the Sky Bridge.

In the 16th year of Chaos City, Bolan also experienced a series of outbreaks, passing through the fifth level of the Sky Bridge.

In the 18th year of Chaos City, within the Great Luo Heaven Refining Hall, Zi Ni Chang achieved the title of F-level Refiner, capable of refining eight types of F-level immortal divine weapons.

In the 20th year of Chaos City, Uka passed through the third level of the Skybridge.

In the 24th year of Chaos City, Longyun and Galesi passed through the third level of the Sky Bridge.

In the 26th year of Chaos City, Qian Shui and Gu Si Luo passed through the third level of the Sky Bridge.

In the 27th year of Chaos City, Aichen passed through the third level of the Sky Bridge.

In the 29th year of Chaos City, Mo passed through the third level of the Sky Bridge.

In the blink of an eye, the 30-year period of Chaos City has passed, and we have entered the final stage of the Chaos City era.

Virtual universe, Thunder Island.

Inside a magnificent temple, the King of Tianshuang sat on his throne.

In the center of the hall, Lu Jin, whose body was filled with fluctuations of the fundamental laws of space, stared at a silver, semi-transparent triangular cone that was constantly circulating in mid-air in front of him.

After a long while, the spatial origin law fluctuations emanating from Lu Jin's body became even more intense.

Undoubtedly, Lu Jin has once again grasped the profound mystery of a fundamental law of space.

The fluctuations of the laws subsided, and Lu Jin bowed to the Heavenly Frost King, who sat on the throne: "This disciple thanks Master for his guidance."

“Teaching disciples is the duty of a teacher.”

The Heavenly Frost King waved his hand and said, "There are seven more days until the end of your Chaos City period."

"Go, before leaving Chaos City, try to cross the Bridge to Heaven one last time, go as far as you can."

By the way, let that person who said I'm misleading young people shut his stinking mouth!
Of course, the King of Tianshuang would never say the above words aloud, otherwise it would be somewhat unfilial.

The cause of the matter is very simple.

After Lu Jin, a complete novice, passed through the eighth level of the Tongtian Bridge, a certain universe lord felt that it was a huge waste of such a genius to take the dead end of the Beast God Path.

It should be someone of great stature who teaches and guides them onto the right path.

"is teacher."

Lu Jin bowed and then disappeared from the hall.

After Lu Jin left, the King of Tianshuang looked up at the dome of the palace, his gaze piercing through space and landing on an ice temple atop Thunder Island.

After gazing at him for a long time, the King of Tianshuang withdrew his gaze and said in a low voice, "Heh~, perhaps I am only mediocre, but I am more than capable of teaching this disciple of mine."

This wasn't due to his unfounded confidence, but rather because his disciple had brought him so many surprises—it was simply superhuman!

The Heavenly Frost King remembered that before Lu Jin entered Chaos City, he had profoundly comprehended 14 kinds of the Water Origin Law and 5 kinds of the Space Origin Law.

Yet today, 30 years later, Chaos City has actually comprehended the mysteries of 71 kinds of water's fundamental laws and 36 kinds of space's fundamental laws!
On average, each year one can comprehend one profound principle of the fundamental laws of space, plus two profound principles of the fundamental laws of water.

Leaving aside the profound mysteries of the fundamental laws of water, which are the fundamental mysteries of lower-level laws, the difficulty of comprehending them is indeed not too high.

However, the fundamental laws of space are different; the higher laws are notoriously difficult to understand.

To achieve such accomplishments in just 30 years in Chaos City is astounding. Even his legendary ancestor, who was at the cosmic level, well, the domain lord level, wouldn't have achieved something this outrageous.
However, although the King of Tianshuang Kingdom couldn't understand why Lu Jin had been able to comprehend the profound mysteries of the fundamental laws so quickly over the years, that was not important.

As long as Lu Jin is a human being and his disciple, that's enough.
