Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 136 Innate Secret Technique: Chaotic Tide

A Blood Warrior needs to fuse 30 Blood Crystals, while a Dark Warrior needs 100, with a maximum of 1000.

If we only consider the Beast God Crystals, the Water Kirin clone would need a full ten thousand Blood Luo Crystals to obtain the ultimate level of Blood Luo Power.

However, the Water Kirin clone's appetite was relatively small; the larger Netherworld Blood Sea clone had an even bigger appetite.

The situation of the Netherworld Blood Sea clone fusing with the Blood Crystal is the same as that of the human original body; no distinction was made between the various parts.

But it wasn't until it fused with an astonishing 300 Blood Crystals that a complete Blood Warrior rune formed on its chest.

In other words, for the Netherworld Blood Sea clone to obtain the ultimate level of Blood Luo Power, it needs to fuse with 10,000 Blood Luo Crystals.

If we only consider the Beast God Crystals, that would require 100,000 Blood Crystals.

In other words, they can rely on their own strength to "supplement themselves" and forcibly seize things from the native experts of the Blood Luo World.

Otherwise, even if he had a way to buy them, he couldn't afford so many Blood Crystals unless he was selling treasures like Peaches of Immortality.

One week later in the Blood Luo World.

On this day, after robbing another world city lord and enslaving him with a divine exorcism talisman, making him an absolutely loyal beast of burden, Lu Jin's stock of Blood Crystals finally exceeded 940.

After transferring 940 Blood Crystals to his Netherworld Blood Sea clone via the external space, Lu Jin used the Demon Refining Pot to break them down into 94 Radiant Golden Beast God Crystals. Then, after transferring them back via the external space, he couldn't wait to start the fusion.

One. Ten. Twenty. Fifty. Eighty. Ninety. Ninety. Ninety-three. Ninety-four!

Having fused another 94 Beast God Crystals, plus the five Blood Luo Crystals and one Beast God Crystal he had fused before, he had fused a total of 100 Blood Luo Crystals, and the Blood Luo power in his body had reached its limit.

A glint flashed in Lu Jin's eyes, and he shouted, "Blood Luo Power, activate!"

'boom--'

In an instant, an ancient and ancient aura suddenly erupted from Lu Jin's body, as if it had been transmitted from the most ancient period of the universe's birth.

At this moment, Lu Jin, shrouded in a pale golden halo, became taller and stronger, with every inch of his skin shimmering with scale-like light and shadow, and countless blood-red threads wrapped around his body.

Especially on the chest, the original blood-red secret pattern had been transformed into an intricately detailed image of a roaring beast god's head.

The image of the roaring beast god is so lifelike that it seems as if a noble golden beast god is roaring.

"Extraordinary affinity with the laws, immense power—is this what it feels like to be a life form with thousands of times the genetic diversity?"

Feeling the incredibly clear fluctuations of the fundamental laws of water in the universe, and his own power increasing dozens of times, Lu Jin thought to himself.

After careful consideration, Lu Jin roughly estimated the multiplication rate of life genes after activating the power of Blood Luo.

The human being possesses a hundredfold increase in life genes, and with the addition of the Limitless Bloodlust Power, whose amplification factor has a diminishing effect, Lu Jin's current life gene multiplier has reached more than five thousand times.

The next second, Lu Jin dispelled the amplification of the Blood Luo power, and with a thought, a ginseng fruit about five inches long, shaped like an infant, as smooth as jade, and shimmering with colorful light appeared in his hand.

Without hesitation, he stuffed the ginseng fruit into his mouth.

Although consuming ginseng fruit can increase one's genetic potential by a thousandfold, the resulting value is far less than that of a being below the immortal level who, after being refined, gains a permanent clone.

But there wasn't just one ginseng fruit, and with the perfect gene right in front of him, Lu Jin couldn't care less about whether it was wasteful or not.

Moreover, it wasn't a waste; at most, he just didn't maximize the treasure's effectiveness.

"Kakaka-"

Lu Jin felt a warm current surge in his stomach as he savored the delicious, high-quality ginseng fruit.

As a warm current flowed through his entire body, all the cells in his flesh and bones underwent rapid transformation and evolution, resulting in a significant surge in strength. He felt more and more energetic the more he ate.

There are two effects of consuming ginseng fruit: first, it can create a special life form with a thousand times the genetic affinity for the wood element; second, it can directly create an immortal deity of the wood element.

If you choose the former, you don't need to worry about it; just let the effects of the ginseng fruit take effect naturally.

If the latter is chosen, then the warm current surging in the abdomen needs to be guided to the sea of ​​consciousness, dantian, or life core and inner world, so as to ascend to immortality.

Before long, after consuming a ginseng fruit, Lu Jin's life gene count increased from a hundredfold to a thousandfold.

'I specialize in water-based lower-level laws, yet my cultivation talent is inferior to that of wood-based laws?'

Noticing the fluctuations of the Wood Origin Law, which were even clearer than those of the Water Origin Law, Lu Jin muttered to himself.

Fortunately, he was overpowered, and after reaching the level of Realm Lord, he was able to cultivate all ten laws.

Furthermore, the 10x Law Affinity brought by the Ultimate Bloodlust Power also has a certain upper limit to its effectiveness.

With his already extremely high affinity for the Law of Wood, the actual bonus was not as great as that for the Law of Water, thus narrowing the gap between his talent in cultivating the two lower-level Laws of Water and Wood. Otherwise, Lu Jin would have had to abandon Water and cultivate Wood.

The next moment, Lu Jin himself entered the inner world within the original core.

'Bloodlust, activate!'

Standing on the Nine-Colored Continent, Lu Jin let out a silent shout and activated the ultimate Blood Luo power.

'boom--'

The image of a roaring beast god appeared on his chest, and Lu Jin felt his power surge once again.

With the Bloodlust power at its limit, superimposed with a thousand times the life gene, Lu Jin's life gene directly increased to 10081 times, achieving a perfect gene life.

Using his mental power to probe his entire body, Lu Jin felt that regardless of the composition of each cell, whether macroscopic or microscopic, and from any level, the human body itself was perfect.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Jin realized that every cell in his body was 'hungry', as if he hadn't eaten for eight hundred years.

"Whoosh whoosh-"

With a thought, the nine-colored mist that permeated the Nine-Colored Continent rapidly converged and entered the human's body.

"Crackling——"

A series of cracking sounds rang out, engulfing the nine-colored mist, and the true form continued to grow taller and larger.

At this moment, the seemingly insignificant true form is like a bottomless black hole.

'I'm afraid it's not enough~'

The water unicorn clone glanced at the numerous, rapidly being devoured nine-colored mists within its inner world and muttered to itself.

"Whoosh whoosh-"

With a thought, a large amount of pure golden immortal-grade life source crystals rained down in mid-air within his inner world.

However, before these immortal-level life source crystals could fall into the Nine-Colored Continent, they were gradually decomposed by the inner world, turning into a massive amount of nine-colored mist to supply the main body, which was in dire need of energy to grow its size.

Although life cannot absorb life source crystals across two major levels, for example, a domain lord can only absorb life source crystals of the realm lord level at most. Otherwise, even if the energy contained in an immortal life source crystal is gentle, it would still overwhelm a domain lord level life.

But if it's the inner world, then it doesn't matter.

Moreover, unlike other levels of life source crystals, the immortal-level life source crystals cost Lu Jin almost nothing.

The two Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grasses each contributed a main vine a million kilometers long. The Immortal-grade Life Source Crystals derived from these two main vines alone would be enough for Lu Jin to squander for a very long time. As the Nine-Colored Mist devours large quantities of the vines, the human's original size is rapidly expanding.

after one day.

On the nine-colored continent within the inner world stands a colossal giant over 90,000 kilometers tall.

After its size expanded to over 90,000 kilometers, the original finally stopped growing.

And just as the original body reached a height of over 90,000 kilometers and stopped growing.
'boom--'

The entire inner world froze instantly.

At this moment, whether it was the Water Kirin clone traveling on the Shenzhou spaceship outside, the Netherworld Blood Sea clone in the Great Luo Heaven, or the numerous Blood God Child avatars cultivating the "Falling Snow Secret Manual" and the "Floating Blood Secret Manual," all were inexplicably halted by a great power.

A mysterious power appeared out of nowhere and was injected into the original core carried by the water unicorn clone.

Instantly, the primordial core, displaying nine colors, shone brightly, and the ten colors of light, symbolizing the ten fundamental laws, bloomed one after another, then gradually subsided, returning to its original nine colors.

However, unlike before, after being infused with this mysterious power, the Nine-Colored Origin Core seemed to possess an additional profound and mysterious meaning.

Immediately afterwards, this mysterious power permeated into the inner world, emanating a pressure that was not at all domineering, yet far beyond what any life in the universe could match, and then enveloped Lu Jin's true form, which resembled a giant reaching the heavens.

As if traveling through time and space, when Lu Jin regained consciousness, he found himself in a mysterious space filled with countless points of light.

Within this mysterious space, every point of light seemed to contain incredible power.

'The origin of the universe.'

Coming to his senses, Lu Jin wondered to himself what he had been doing earlier.

Putting aside his distracting thoughts, Lu Jin looked around and saw that although the points of light were drifting freely in this mysterious space, they all avoided his consciousness.

'call out! ’

Suddenly, one of the points of light transformed into a streak of light and shot towards Lu Jin at incredible speed, so fast that Lu Jin couldn't react at all.

"laugh!"

The point of light arrived in an instant and disappeared into Lu Jin's consciousness.

"boom--"

Images were quickly transmitted.

At this moment, Lu Jin seemed to see a chaotic tide sweeping across the entire world. Wherever the chaotic tide passed, countless living beings were reduced to ashes, and the entire world was plunged into a scene of great annihilation.

Many images flashed by, but Lu Jin forgot them immediately after seeing them, as if they could not be memorized at all.

Immediately afterwards, endless messages entered Lu Jin's consciousness.

'Boom—'

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Jin's consciousness was kicked out of the origin of the universe.

Within the inner world, Lu Jin's true consciousness returned.

At the same time, the consciousnesses of the Water Kirin clone, the Netherworld Blood Sea clone, and the numerous Blood God Child incarnations also returned to normal.

With a thought, Lu Jin activated his Disguise Divine Power, and his towering body, which was over 90,000 kilometers tall, began to shrink rapidly, transforming back into a figure of just over 1.8 meters tall.

A height of over 90,000 kilometers is excellent, as it means that once immortality is achieved, the 'health bar length' will far exceed that of most immortals in the universe.

However, such a large size will undoubtedly have a significant impact on normal life.

Fortunately, the ability to disguise oneself is versatile; shrinking one's size is a piece of cake and won't affect one's combat power in any way.

'Innate Arcane Art: Chaotic Tide?'

After regaining his normal human form, Lu Jin carefully recalled the extremely complex secret technique he had obtained in the Origin of the Universe.

Because the innate secret technique was not learned by himself, but was bestowed by the primordial universe, Lu Jin only remembered how to cast 'Chaotic Tide', but did not understand its mysteries. Similar to the many supernatural abilities he currently possessed, he was 'knowing what it is, but not why it is'.

Of course, although the 'Chaotic Tide' was extremely complex to execute, the entire process was deeply imprinted in his consciousness, and there was no possibility of forgetting it.

Innate Secret Technique: Chaotic Tide, possessing immense power. Once unleashed, it unleashes a chaotic tide that seals off space and time, sweeping across the heavens and earth.

Wherever the chaotic tides passed, all living things in heaven and earth fell into annihilation.

If divine power becomes ethereal, then the chaotic tides will only annihilate the soul, without harming the body of any living being.

"It can attack both the divine body and the soul?"

Lu Jin raised an eyebrow.

This is amazing!
If it weren't for the Demon Refining Pot, Lu Jin wouldn't care whether the 'Chaotic Tide' could be used as a soul attack technique.

However, with the Demon Refining Pot that can turn corpses into resources, it becomes essential to preserve the integrity of the corpses after killing enemies.

However, while 'Chaos Tide' is powerful, its usage requirements are also very high.

According to the information conveyed by the innate secret technique, 'Chaotic Tide' can only be activated by divine power, and requires at least 100 billion times the power of a ninth-level World Lord to be able to perform it.

Moreover, this is only the minimum energy intensity standard for unleashing 'Chaotic Tides'.

Each cast of 'Chaos Tide' requires at least 9 seconds to last.

Even for the shortest duration, once one enters immortality in the future, with a human body spanning over 90,000 kilometers, the divine power would be completely exhausted after only 10 uses.

"100 billion times the power of a peak ninth-level World Lord. Hmm, that's not too high."

Lu Jin silently calculated in his mind.

For ordinary immortals, 100 billion times the power of a ninth-level World Lord at the peak is undoubtedly an astronomical figure.

But in Lu Jin's opinion, this level of strength is not really that high.

After all, this is not the basic power of a divine body, but the power of a divine body resulting from the superposition of multiple factors.

The perfect life gene combined with a hundredfold amplification of the divine body can create an amplitude of more than a million times.

In other words, even without burning divine power, once the original body enters the immortal realm, it will be able to unleash 'Chaotic Tide' if its level is no lower than that of a King.

Even the most ordinary initial-level King-rank expert possesses a divine body with ten thousand times the power of a peak ninth-level World Lord.

Of course, Lu Jin felt that when he entered immortality in the future, his divine body level would definitely be more than just the initial stage of the King-level.

After all, the efficiency of a Realm Lord in comprehending the laws is far superior to that of other stages. If one does not make good use of the advantages of the Realm Lord stage in comprehending the laws, and does not comprehend all the mysteries of the eight lower laws and the two higher laws, then how can one call oneself a cheater?
"Rumble--"

Glancing at his somewhat 'small' inner world, Lu Jin had a thought. With the consumption of the nine-colored mist, a large number of continental plates instantly condensed, and his inner world began to expand wildly.
