Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 141 Abyss Battlefield, Frost Descends

Riding the Water Cloud Shuttle, flying through the dim sky, Lu Jin could see that on the abyss below, killings were taking place everywhere.

Some were groups of three or five humanoid demons, who were besieging and killing beast-like demons.

Some are packs of beast-like demons, forming small beast tides that engulf all humanoid demons they encounter.

Similarly, there is also internal strife within both humanoid and beast-like demons.

The killing intent required to form or upgrade the Abyssal Gift Mark does not specify which type of demon to kill.

Regardless of whether it's a humanoid or beast-like demon, as long as it kills an abyss demon, it will generate a killing aura.

After taking down several waves of foolish abyssal demons along the way, Lu Jin, who was flying in the dim sky on his Water Cloud Shuttle, soon saw a huge city appear in front of him.

The city walls are towering, about two hundred meters high, and cover an area with a diameter of several thousand kilometers.

Compared to the abyss outside the city, the scene inside the Wols Demon Realm City was worlds apart.

It's not that the city is more lively, but that within the Demon Realm City, there is at least a semblance of order, though it's not perfect.

On each layer of the abyss continent, the wilderness is a world devoid of any order.

However, in each demon city, unless one's strength reaches a certain level and one obtains the 'right to kill,' demons are not qualified to kill within the city.

Violation of this rule will result in suppression by the city guards of the demon city, and the victim will suffer the fate of being skinned alive and dismembered.

In places like Demon City, only demon viscounts of the cosmic level have the right to kill.

In the Demon City, only demon counts of the domain lord level have the right to kill.

In the capital of the demon kingdom established by the Abyss Demon God, even a Demon Duke of the Realm Lord level cannot kill without cause, otherwise it will be regarded as a provocation against the majesty of the Demon God.

"Whoosh!"

Before long, riding the Water Cloud Shuttle, Lu Jin flew to the sky above the City of Wols Demon Realm and unleashed his aura of power without restraint.

In an instant, all the demon residents in the surrounding area of ​​the city were forced to the ground by the powerful pressure.

"All the demon counts in the city, get out here!"

Standing in mid-air, Lu Jin shouted in the demon language, and as he channeled his mental power, his voice quickly spread throughout the entire Demon Realm City.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

Before the Demon Earl even arrived, thirteen cosmic-level Demon Viscounts nearby soared into the sky.

"Outsider, daring to challenge the Earl's majesty, die!"

A ninth-order demon viscount with a white beard on his chin and a goat's head on his head saw that although Lu Jin's aura was strong, his life level was only that of a viscount. He immediately shouted and charged towards Lu Jin.

Since the other party is a viscount, then at most he is only a peak ninth-rank viscount.

I am already a ninth-rank viscount, and I also have twelve viscount-level helpers. Thirteen against one, isn't the advantage in my hands?

I, Viscount Swell, a ninth-rank demon, am absolutely loyal to the Earl!
"Humph!"

Lu Jin snorted coldly, and his powerful mental energy surged out, transforming into thirteen sharp mental cones that shot towards the thirteen demon viscounts led by the goat-headed demon.

*Whoosh!* *Whoosh!* *Whoosh!*

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

As the psychic energy surged, a series of crisp sounds rang out. The heads of the thirteen demon viscounts, led by the goat-headed demon, exploded one after another without warning, and then the thirteen headless corpses fell towards the Demon Realm City below.

Just then, the aura of a domain lord-level life form emanated from afar.

Lu Jin saw a seventh-tier demon count (seventh-tier domain lord) flying in from mid-air ahead. It was completely black, covered with dark red patterns, had a thick nose, a head that looked like a bull's head, and a pair of demonic wings on its back.

Behind this seventh-tier minotaur count were two other first-tier and second-tier demon counts, along with a hundred demon viscounts of various appearances.

"So you're the lord of this Demon Realm City? Hand over the map of the Aurelio Demon Realm, or die!"

Lu Jin informed the Minotaur Count.

"Outsider, if you want a map, just ask me for it. Why are you slaughtering my men?"

"Because of the strength that Lu Jin had previously displayed, the Minotaur Count said in a deep voice."

"Sky-Piercing Style, Condense!"

Lu Jin raised his hand and pointed, and the Heavenly Frost Divine Weapon on his back shot out a string of blue light.

A burst of brilliant blue light erupted, blue threads appeared, and a foot-long blue ice cone instantly solidified, then transformed into a streak of light and shot out at lightning speed.

"call out!"

A flash of blue light appeared, and before the Minotaur Demon Count could react, he was pierced through the chest by a blue ice spike that shot out, shattering his life core. Then his whole body turned into a handful of ice crystal powder and dissipated.

Even considering the life leap, a mere seventh-level regional master is only about one or two thousand times stronger than a peak ninth-level universe master.

In the hands of Lu Jin himself, who possesses perfect genes and a hundredfold soul amplitude, he couldn't even last a single round.

Trying to reason with me?
The demons of the abyss are brutal and bloodthirsty, and some are exceptionally cunning and adept at manipulating people's hearts.

I, Lu, will never reason with the demons of the abyss, lest I fall into their trap.

"I'll say it again, hand over the map."

After instantly killing the Minotaur Demon Count, Lu Jin looked at the other two Demon Counts.

Meeting Lu Jin's gaze, the two demon counts shuddered.

Immediately, a demon count took out a huge animal skin scroll from his personal spatial storage and said, "Respected powerful being, please calm your anger. The map of the Aurelio Demon Realm is here!"

The other demon count was a step slower, glancing at his colleague with displeasure before bowing obsequiously to Lu Jin and saying, "Respected strongman, Lord Losog—no, the cunning Losog offended you and has been killed by you. Would you like Popolo to collect Losog's legacy for you?"

This demon count named Popolo, who was preparing to act as a guide, shows that the loyalty of abyssal demons is truly cheap; might makes right.

All I can say is that the demons of the abyss understand perfectly what it means to be a wise person when things are going well.

With a thought, Lu Jin summoned a ten-foot-long animal hide scroll into his hand.

Lu Jin glanced at the scroll and saw that it indeed contained information about the Aurelio Demon Realm City and numerous other demon cities, as well as dangerous areas in the wild. He nodded in satisfaction.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The next second, a familiar blue light flashed, and six foot-long ice cones condensed and shot towards the six targets.

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

Six explosions rang out in succession, and two demon counts and four demon viscounts who had reached the peak of the ninth rank died.

Lu Jin could ignore abyssal demons below the peak of the ninth level of the universe; whether to kill them or spare them made no difference.

But he wouldn't let go of those who reached the peak of the ninth level of the universe or above.

Killing Abyssal Demons with a life level no lower than one's own allows one to accumulate a special killing aura, which can then condense into an Abyssal Gift Mark.

Ignoring the numerous demon viscounts who fled in panic, Lu Jin entered the World Ring, transformed into a human-shaped water unicorn clone, and appeared in the outside world, riding on a water cloud disc towards the City of Aurelio Demon Realm.

Two hours later, in a luxurious hall of the Lord's Mansion in the Demon Realm of Aurelio.

At the head of the hall, a tiger-headed demon with three black curved horns sat on a throne.

Sipping the scarlet drink in their cups, they admired the alluring succubi, their clothes tattered, their figures graceful as they danced.

"Shh!"

Suddenly, a figure dressed in blue and gold armor appeared in the hall. It was the Water Kirin clone that had come here using its innate secret technique: mastering spatial teleportation.

At the same time, a radiant talisman shot out and entered the tiger-headed demon's forehead.

"what--"

At this moment, upon discovering the arrival of Lu Jin, this uninvited guest, screams echoed throughout the hall from the succubi.

"Humph!"

Lu Jin snorted coldly, and a terrifying pressure of consciousness enveloped the entire hall.

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

In an instant, a series of explosions rang out.

As blood blossoms bloomed, the entire hall fell silent.

"Odok greets his master!"

The city lord of Aurelio Demon City, the eighth-rank demon duke Odork, who had been enslaved by the spirit-driving talisman planted in his soul, knelt before Lu Jin with utmost respect.

"I need to kill a large number of demons with a life level no lower than Viscount rank nine. Give me your suggestions."

Lu Jin said to Odok.

The Virtual Universe Company didn't provide much information about the Abyss, so having Odok, a local bigwig, help with the information would definitely be much more efficient than him working alone.

Odok said, "Master, I suggest you go to the Abyss Battlefield."

Master, you should be aware of the effects of the Abyss's Blessing Mark. In order to cultivate more genius demons, all the Abyss Demon Kingdoms on this layer of the Abyss Continent have joined forces to open up three Abyss Battlefields of different levels.

The Great Demon-level Abyss Battlefield, the Demon Viscount-level Abyss Battlefield, and the Demon Earl-level Abyss Battlefield.

Unless a high-level Abyss Demon breaks through its level and stays inside the Abyss Battlefield, it cannot enter a low-level Abyss Battlefield, but a low-level Abyss Demon can enter a high-level Abyss Battlefield.

There are no requirements to enter the Abyss Battlefield, as long as your level meets the requirements; outsiders are not restricted from entering.

"Was the Abyss Battlefield jointly established by all the Abyss Demon Kingdoms?"

Lu Jin raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised by the Abyss Demons' organizational skills.

"This is true not only in this layer of the abyss, but also in other layers of the abyss."

Legend has it that the opening of the Abyss Battlefield by all the Abyss Demon Kingdoms was at the request of the great Demon Lords, in order to strengthen the power of our Abyss Demon race.

Noticing Lu Jin's confusion, Odok explained.

After a moment's thought, Lu Jin asked again, "Have you received a mission to raise a large number of abyssal demons within your inner world?"

"Master is wise!"

Odok offered a compliment, then explained, "After my subordinate was promoted to Demon Duke, the Demon Kingdom issued this mandatory task."

Every so often, the Demon Kingdom would send a special envoy to collect a certain number of Great Demons and send them to the Abyss Battlefield.

If the target number of trainees is met, the Demon Kingdom will grant a reward. However, if the target number is not met, punishment will be imposed.

'So that Venerable One is quite the expert?'

Lu Jin thought to himself.

If we assume that the demon lords of the Abyss are all soul servants under the command of the venerable one who reigns over the Abyss, then everything makes sense.

To establish the Abyss Battlefield, the Lord-level Demon Dukes within the Purgatory Abyss were allowed to raise a large number of Abyss Demons within their inner worlds, serving as consumables for the Abyss Battlefield.

Through the sifting of the sands of time, a large number of abyssal demons with extraordinary comprehension can be born by virtue of the mark of the abyss's grace.

With the extraordinary comprehension of the abyssal demons on the continent, abyssal gods can continuously emerge.

As long as we can wait, the entire Abyss of Purgatory is essentially a factory of Venerable-level servants for that Venerable One who sits in charge!
If the guess is true, then Lu Jin has to admit that this Venerable One who sits in charge knows how to fleece people.

"Where is the Demon Earl-level Abyss Battlefield? Send me the map."

"Pull back my scattered thoughts," Lu Jin said.

My level is at the peak of the ninth rank of the universe. Going to the Demon Viscount-level Abyss Battlefield would be like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. It would be better to go to the Demon Earl-level Abyss Battlefield.

The abyss demons that can appear in the Demon Earl-level abyss battlefield are basically all Domain Lord-level Demon Earls.

When I go hunting, it's all considered a challenge beyond my level, allowing me to accumulate killing intent more efficiently and quickly obtain the Gold-level Abyss Blessing Mark.

As for the number of Demon Earls, Lu Jin wasn't worried about that.

Just a demon count. The cultivation environment inside the Abyss of Purgatory is far superior to that outside. Moreover, with such a large scale, plus the divine kingdoms of the Abyss Demon God and the Abyss Demon Lord, how could the number of Abyss Demon Lords be small?
“Master, I have been to the second and third levels of the abyss.”

This is a map of this level of the abyss, and these two are maps of the second and third levels. Both maps show the locations of the three levels of abyss battlefields.

Odok took out three huge animal hide scrolls from his world ring and handed them to Lu Jin.

After taking the map, Lu Jin asked, "Are there any forbidden zones in the Purgatory Abyss world?"

Every secret place in the universe can nurture treasures.

Although the Purgatory Abyss is just one world within the Primordial Secret Realm, Lu Jin was certain that it contained treasures based solely on its sheer size.

As for treasures, the chances of them being born in dangerous places are much higher than in other ordinary areas, so we might as well try our luck there later.

Odok said, "Master, I have heard that there is an extremely dangerous place in the central area of ​​the eighteenth level of the Purgatory Abyss."

Death storms rage year-round in the Jedi; the Demon Duke is certain to die if he touches it, and even the Abyss God is likely to meet a terrible end there.

However, I am not aware of the specifics.

Lu Jin nodded, put Odok into the World Ring, and then had his Netherworld Blood Sea clone use the Kunlun Mirror to teleport him back to the Great Luo Heaven.

As a realm lord, he should not waste the fact that his inner world can be transformed into a dungeon for Heavenly Court members to train in.

Then, regardless of the chaos that Odok's disappearance would cause within the Aurelio Demon City.

Lu Jin flew out of the Demon Realm City, then boarded the Shenzhou spaceship disguised as an evil dragon, heading towards the Demon Earl-level Abyss Battlefield in this layer of the Purgatory Abyss.

Lu Jin originally planned to kill wherever he went and obtain the Gold-level Abyss Blessing Mark.

But since each level of the Abyss has its own Abyss Battlefield, there's no need for all this trouble. Just go directly to the Demon Earl-level Abyss Battlefield, where there are a large number of Domain Lord-level demons.

Even if he manages to fight his way through the Abyss Battlefield of this level of Purgatory Abyss, he can still enter the Abyss Battlefield of the second level of Purgatory Abyss and slaughter the Abyss Demons of the Domain Lord level.

The Abyss of Purgatory is vast, with each level roughly the same size, around 0.6 light-years in diameter.

The flight environment inside the Abyss of Purgatory is not as good as the void of space. The Shenzhou spacecraft can hardly travel through the dark universe and can only fly 'slowly' at sub-light speed.

After checking the map and estimating that it would take more than two months to arrive, the main body and the water unicorn clone focused their energy back on cultivation.

Two months later.

Inside the Shenzhou spacecraft's control room, Lu Jin sat cross-legged on the sofa, quietly studying the secret techniques.

Suddenly, the fundamental laws trembled, and the aura of the water fundamental law emanating from Lu Jin's body became even more intense.

The 78th fundamental law of water is profound!

Opening his eyes, Lu Jin was secretly delighted.

Since his journey through the Blood Luo World, his speed in analyzing the mysteries of the fundamental laws has been like a rocket.

In the past two years, the main body and the Water Qilin clone have been busy robbing the city lord of the Blood Luo World, while the Blood God Child's incarnation has devoted most of his energy to the "Blood Scroll".

It can be said that he has hardly cultivated the "Falling Snow Secret Manual" in the past two years. His progress in comprehending the profound laws of the origin of water is not much better than when he left Chaos City. He has only just comprehended 73 of them.

However, in just two short months, with the combined efforts of the main body and the water unicorn avatar, the progress in comprehending the profound laws of the water source has increased from 73 to 78.

Similarly, the progress in comprehending the profound mysteries of the fundamental laws of space is also gratifying.

Thanks to the fact that there are now tens of thousands of Blood God Children, his progress in comprehending the profound laws of space has also increased to the 68th one.

Of course, the fact that the improvement was so significant was largely due to the fact that he was able to obtain the Ice Peak Chaos Stele and the Nine Universe Chaos Stele for free.

"Fatty, how much longer until we reach the Abyss Battlefield?"

Lu Jin asked the fat man.

"Master, there are about four days left."

Fatty responded.

"Okay~"

Nodding, Lu Jin logged into the virtual universe.

Virtual Universe, Yuxiang Mountain Primitive Area, Manor No. 114 Training Ground.

In the spacious training ground, Lu Jin, carrying the Heavenly Frost Divine Weapon on his back and standing in mid-air on the Water Cloud Shuttle, stood tall.

"Frost descends, freezes!"

Lu Jin raised his hand and pointed ahead, and the Heavenly Frost Divine Weapon behind him burst forth with thousands of blue lights.

Amidst bursts of brilliant blue light, strands of blue silk thread linked together, and 6896 tiny blue cones converged and coalesced into a six-foot-diameter ice crystal snowball covered with mysterious patterns.

The next moment, the ice crystal snowball spun and shot out, leaving behind fine spatial cracks along its path.

"Shhhhh-"

Immediately afterwards, as Lu Jin thought for a moment, countless extremely cold snowflakes that tore through space shot out from the surface of the ice crystal snowball.

"Rumble--"

As if space itself had collapsed, the space within a radius of 100 meters around the ice crystal snowball shattered, creating a series of turbulent spatial currents.

"Not bad, your understanding of the laws has increased dramatically, and you succeeded on your first attempt."

Looking at the destruction caused by the seventh level of the Heavenly Frost Divine Weapon, 'Frost Descends', Lu Jin nodded in satisfaction.

"System, simulated battle, set the opponent to a first-level domain lord controller who can unleash the seventh level of the Heavenly Frost Divine Weapon."

Lu Jin spoke to the training ground's intelligent system.

'Shuh! '

Soon, in the spacious training ground, amidst the convergence of light, a blue-clad controller carrying the Heavenly Frost Divine Weapon appeared.
After battling virtual opponents for most of the day, Lu Jin was barely able to unleash 'Frostfall' a few times, and then began his third attempt to cross the Sky Bridge.

The Nine-Tier Sky Bridge, at the end of the eleventh level.

Crimson flames filled the entire field of vision, the magma layer ahead trembled, and a voice rang out: "Choose your opponent: warrior, controller, illusionist. Choose one and defeat him to pass the eleventh level."

"The Controller!"

Lu Jin, carrying the Heavenly Frost Divine Weapon on his back and standing on the Water Cloud Shuttle in mid-air above the Tongtian Bridge, spoke without hesitation.

"Rumble--"

The magma layer ahead trembled, and a ball of scorching orange-red magma shot out, transforming into a yellow-clad masked man riding a Water Cloud Shuttle and carrying the Heavenly Frost Divine Weapon.

"Young man, you are very talented, but this is where your talents end!"

The man in the yellow mask said in a deep voice.

"That's not necessarily true; there might be a pleasant surprise!"

Lu Jin said with a smile.

The opponent who controls the eleventh level of the Nine Heavens Bridge is capable of unleashing the eighth level of the Nine Divine Weapons.

Although he can only unleash the seventh level of the Heavenly Frost Divine Weapon, 'Frost Descends,' his actual combat strength cannot be calculated based on the level of the divine weapon.

The consciousness of a perfect gene domain lord at the peak of the ninth rank, with a soul amplitude of a hundred times, is enough to erase or even surpass the gap between the two sides.

"Frost descends, freezes!"

Lu Jin raised his hand and pointed, and the Heavenly Frost Divine Weapon behind him surged with thousands of blue lights, triggering the fundamental laws of water and space. Brilliant blue radiance burst forth, and strands of blue silk threads connected together.

In an instant, a mysterious ice crystal snowball with a diameter of six feet condensed and then shot towards the yellow-clad masked man opposite.

"Frost shatters the void!"

At the same time, thousands of blue lights also burst forth from behind the yellow-clad masked man.

However, unlike Lu Jin, he used the eighth level of the Heavenly Frost Divine Weapon, 'Frost Breaking the Void'.

Blue light surged, and every 81 rays of blue light quickly transformed into a foot-long blue ice cone, with thousands of rays of blue light turning into 108 foot-long ice cones.

Immediately afterwards, the blue threads strung together and combined, and amidst the dazzling blue light, all the foot-long ice cones merged into a five-foot-long blue-gold ice cone, its tip emitting wisps of chilling light.

The next moment, under the control of the yellow-clad masked man, a five-foot-long blue-gold ice cone shot straight at the ice crystal snowball that Lu Jin was shooting at.

"call out!"

At this moment, the surrounding space distorted. Following the fluctuations of the fundamental laws of space, the blue-gold ice cone transformed into a blue-gold thread, accurately hitting the incoming ice crystal snowball.

"boom--"

With a deafening roar, the seemingly more powerful blue-gold ice cone was unbelievably shattered by the ice crystal snowball, disintegrating into numerous tiny blue spikes.

Instantly, the man in yellow felt a jolt in his mind, his face beneath the mask turned pale, and he thought to himself, "Impossible."

Given the opponent's level of understanding of the laws, and that he was only at the seventh level of 'Frost Descends', how could he possibly be comparable to my 'Frost Breaks Through the Void'?
It was originally impossible, but who made Lu Jin secretly apply a hundredfold soul amplitude just before the collision?
