Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 142 The Primal Tongtian Mountain of the Universe Level, Passed!
After shattering the blue-gold ice spikes, the ice crystal snowball, amplified a hundredfold by its soul amplitude, surged in speed and crashed down on the yellow-clad masked man with the force of Mount Tai.

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

The man in the yellow mask did not sit idly by and wait for his death. He manifested multiple spatial illusions and swiftly dodged while riding the Water Cloud Shuttle.

Seeing this, Lu Jin's mind raced, and the ice crystal snowball shot out countless extremely cold snowflakes, tearing through space and bursting out towards the many yellow-clad figures.

'Puff puff puff—'

"Chi chi chi——"

Within a radius of 100 meters of the ice crystal snowball, dense, extremely cold snowflakes swept through every corner, creating subtle spatial turbulence that utterly destroyed all spatial illusions.

Then, a snowball of ice crystals, bursting with countless frigid snowflakes, shot past and shredded the yellow-clad masked man, who had no way to avoid it, into ice crystal fragments.

Pass through the eleventh level of the Nine-Yu Sky Bridge!
"Rumble--"

The next moment, the magma layer blocking the way to the sky bridge receded, revealing a wide passage.

"Whoosh!"

Lu Jin stepped on the Water Cloud Shuttle and transformed into a stream of light, flying towards the next level.

Before long, Lu Jin arrived at the end of the 12th floor of the Jiuyu Tongtian Bridge.

The scene in this level has changed to the surface of a planet.

At this moment, the earth trembled to the west of the Tongtian Bridge, and a voice rang out: "Choose your opponent: martial artist, controller, illusionist. Defeat him to pass the twelfth floor."

"The Controller!"

Lu Jin said.

"Rumble--"

The earth trembled, and countless earth-yellow rays of light flew out from all directions, quickly converging in mid-air and then transforming into a yellow-clad masked figure.

The man in the yellow mask, carrying a blue-gold shield and riding a water-cloud shuttle, looked at Lu Jin in the distance and said, "To be able to come here at the cosmic level, your excellence is enough to surprise me."

"Thanks for the compliment!"

Lu Jin nodded and said, then thousands of blue lights burst forth behind him, and the seventh level of the Heavenly Frost Divine Weapon, 'Frost Descends,' was activated, and a six-foot-diameter ice crystal snowball shot out rapidly.

"Young man, you're in a hurry! Frost breaks through the void!"

After teasing Lu Jin, the yellow-clad masked man unleashed a burst of blue light from behind, activating the Heavenly Frost Divine Weapon. In the blink of an eye, it condensed into a five-foot-long blue-gold ice cone, which then transformed into blue-gold threads and shot out.

The yellow-clad masked man on this level is still using the eighth level of the Heavenly Frost Divine Weapon, 'Frost Breaking the Void'.

However, compared to the yellow-clad masked man on the 11th floor, the 'Frost Breaking the Void' used by the yellow-clad masked man on this floor is much more powerful and he is also more skilled in using it. It is no exaggeration to say that he is at the peak of the eighth level of the Heavenly Frost Divine Weapon.

"call out!"

"call out!"

Ice crystal snowballs shot out, while blue-gold ice cones pierced through the air. There should have been a qualitative difference in their speeds, with the former being far inferior to the latter.

However, Lu Jin possessed a hundred times the soul amplitude and a hundred times the psychic power, which made the speed at which the ice crystal snowball shot out even greater than that of the blue-gold ice cone.

'It's a ghost!'

The masked man in yellow cursed under his breath, realizing that Lu Jin must have cultivated the Soul Amplification Secret Technique, and judging from the situation, the level was extremely high. He prepared himself to deal with the impact on his consciousness.

The next moment, the ice crystal snowball collided with the blue-gold ice cone in mid-air.

"boom!"

A violent roar and fluctuations of laws emanated from the ice crystal snowball and the blue-gold ice cone, both of which were sent flying backward.

Immediately afterwards, numerous fine spatial cracks appeared centered on the point of impact.

'continue!'

Ignoring the mental impact that felt like a caress, Lu Jin continued to manipulate the ice crystal snowball to crash into the blue-gold ice cone of the yellow-clad masked man.

With the advantage of a hundredfold increase in soul amplitude and the ability to analyze the mysteries of the fundamental laws, he can be said to have made up for the gap between himself and the yellow-robed masked man in terms of understanding of the laws and the realm of divine weapons.

However, there is one advantage he has that far surpasses that of the man in the yellow mask.

Possessing perfect genes, his psychic power, which is 10081 times greater than that of others of the same level, cannot be brought into the virtual universe.

However, the consciousness strength of a ninth-level peak Domain Lord, which is 10081 times stronger, can be brought into the virtual universe without any reduction.

By using 'Frost Descends' to directly counter the opponent's 'Frost Breaks the Void', as long as the ice crystal snowball is not destroyed, Lu Jin can knock the opponent into a state of confusion.

After all, when the controller uses a psychic weapon to fight head-on, each impact will cause a shock to their consciousness.

This shock to his consciousness was nothing to Lu Jin; with his superior mental strength, he was able to completely ignore it.

But for the man in yellow, it was no less than someone hitting him on the head with a heavy hammer.

"boom--"

"boom--"

"boom--"

The ice crystal snowballs and blue-gold ice cones collided repeatedly, and with each booming sound, the face beneath the yellow-clad man's mask grew even paler.

'Damn it!'

The pale-faced man stared at Lu Jin, who was acting recklessly and seemingly addicted to violence, his back teeth almost grinding to powder.

This young man is a monster!

The man in the yellow mask could tell that Lu Jin's consciousness was truly strong.

Under the continuous shocks to his consciousness, he was almost driven to the brink of unconsciousness, but Lu Jin remained completely unaffected.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Two more impacts followed.

"Wow—"

After being repeatedly assaulted on his consciousness, the yellow-clad masked man, whose mind was clouded, could no longer continue. His five-foot-long blue-gold ice cone disintegrated, turning into numerous tiny blue spikes.

"call out!"

Taking advantage of his weakness, Lu Jin controlled the ice crystal snowball, which shot out at high speed toward the masked man in yellow.

"Shhhhh-"

In an instant, centered on the ice crystal snowball, dense, extremely cold snowflakes tore through space and burst forth, shredding the yellow-clad masked man into ice crystal fragments.

Pass through the twelfth level of the Nine Heavens Bridge!
"Rumble--"

The bridge to heaven extends across the starry sky, connecting directly to a distant star.

After gazing at the distant stars for a moment, Lu Jin shook his head and left the Tongtian Bridge dimension.

The bridge to heaven is considered a threshold every three levels, and it gets more difficult as you go further.

On the 13th level of the Nine Heavens Bridge, if one chooses the controller as their opponent, the resulting opponent will be able to unleash the ninth level of the Nine Great Psychic Weapons, 'Even the Immortal Can Be Opposed'.

An opponent of that caliber is not someone he can easily fool in his current state.

The key to his victory over the yellow-masked man on the 12th floor was that 'Frost Descends' held off the yellow-masked man's 'Frost Breaks the Void', and then, with his powerful willpower, he wore down the yellow-masked man to death in a head-on confrontation.

However, if it were 'Immortal Can Be Enemy', 'Frost Descends' would definitely not be able to withstand it, and would be pierced to pieces by the opponent in one blow.

Even if one has the strongest willpower, it will be a waste of their talent.

Virtual universe, a certain plane.

"Shh!"

On the vast land, Lu Jin's figure appeared.

Looking ahead, Lu Jin could see three majestic mountains in the distance, each one taller than the last.

On the mountainside of three majestic mountains, there are two universal scripts radiating golden light: Heaven and Earth, Primordial Beginning, and Primordial Origin.

Especially the towering mountain with the word 'primitive' in its name, which appears even taller and more majestic compared to the other two mountains.

After leaving the Tongtian Bridge dimension, Lu Jin did not immediately exit the virtual universe, but instead arrived at the Tongtian Mountain dimension.

Tongtian Mountain, especially the original Tongtian Mountain, is a benchmark for verifying whether a genius is a super genius.

All core members of the virtual company, regardless of which secret realm they belong to, can come and explore Tongtian Mountain at any time.

As long as you can pass through the Primal Tongtian Mountain, even if you were originally just a member of the Doomsday Secret Realm, you can directly become a member of the Primal Secret Realm.

Furthermore, in the eyes of the higher-ups at the Virtual Universe Company, their status and importance far surpass those of ordinary members of the Primal Secret Realm.

Because the original Tongtian Mountain, just like the seventh trial tower of the peak genius battle, was known as an almost insurmountable natural barrier.

Although the Primal Tongtian Mountain is difficult, Lu Jin intends to climb to its summit to see if the view from the top is more beautiful than that at the foot of the mountain. After all, the Primal Tongtian Mountain, a cosmic-level mountain, is only as difficult as the 12th level of the Tongtian Bridge.

If you can cross the 12th level of the Nine Heavens Bridge, there's no reason you can't cross the cosmic-level Primal Heavenly Mountain.

Before long, a streak of light stopped at the foot of the original Tongtian Mountain. It was Lu Jin, who was riding the Water Cloud Shuttle and carrying the Heavenly Frost Divine Weapon on his back.

At the foot of the original Tongtian Mountain, lies a burly minotaur with bull horns on his head.

Beside the minotaur lay a terrifying giant axe, snoring loudly, with drool dripping from the corner of his mouth, fast asleep.

Perhaps sensing something, the sleeping minotaur opened his eyes before Lu Jin could even wake him up.

Upon seeing Lu Jin, the minotaur jumped up from the ground and asked, "Are you here to challenge the Primal Tongtian Mountain?"

"Ah."

Lu Jin nodded.

"Haha~, finally someone to play with me!"

The minotaur laughed heartily, then roared, "White ape, you slut, come here right now!"

The minotaur's booming voice echoed throughout the foothills of the primeval Tongtian Mountain.

'Whoosh!' 'Whoosh!'

Soon, a figure flew in from the left and right directions respectively.

Flying from the left was a lean ape-man wearing silver-white armor, carrying a black bamboo pole on his back, and with golden fur on his face.

Flying from the right was a charming woman with a snake's tail and a human body, dressed in a semi-transparent gauze robe.

"Hehe~"

The lean ape-man chuckled and said, "Finally, someone else has come to challenge the Primal Tongtian Mountain! Kid, hopefully you can give us some fun."

"The young man is quite handsome~ Let me see what his background is."

The alluring snake woman spoke, her large, watery eyes giving Lu Jin a flirtatious wink.

"Oh? It's Prince Lu Jin from the Primal Secret Realm! I've heard so much about you, Prince Lu Jin. How about we grab a drink later?"

The alluring snake woman licked her lips and extended an invitation to Lu Jin.

Lu Jin: Hello, you little horse-headed bug!
"You slut, stop being so horny!"

The minotaur scolded the snake woman with dissatisfaction, then turned to look at Lu Jin: "Your Highness Lu Jin, the rules for venturing into Tongtian Mountain are very simple."

All you need to do is fight your way from the foot of the mountain to the top, killing all the guards at the foot, the middle, and the top, and you'll have successfully passed through Tongtian Mountain.

The three of us are the gatekeepers at the foot of the mountain.

"Come!"

Lu Jin nodded and beckoned to the three minotaurs.

"Haha, you white ape, you slut, make your move!"

The minotaur laughed excitedly, grabbed the terrifying giant axe beside him, and charged straight at Lu Jin.

"Hehe~"

The lean ape-man chuckled, and a third-tier psychic weapon called the 'Arch Serpent,' resembling a black bamboo pole, flew out from behind him. Its nine 'bamboo segments' separated and instantly lengthened, transforming into a nine-section whip strung together with countless threads, resembling a venomous snake, and rapidly biting towards Lu Jin.

"Humph!"

At the same time, the alluring snake woman let out a soft snort, her eyes flashed with purple light, and an invisible spiritual force enveloped Lu Jin.

In an instant, the burly minotaur, the lean ape-man, and the alluring snake woman attacked simultaneously.

However, in terms of speed alone, the seductive snake woman's mental power was naturally the fastest, directly penetrating into Lu Jin's sea of ​​consciousness!

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, a phantom clock with silver patterns covering its surface floats.

"boom--"

The telekinetic energy struck the illusory bell, causing it to tremble slightly but remain completely undamaged.

With her extraordinary consciousness and a hundredfold soul amplitude, and with a secret soul technique protecting her sea of ​​consciousness, the snake-woman illusionist was no different from a cripple to Lu Jin.

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

Ignoring the seductive snake woman's psychic attack, Lu Jin quickly changed his mind and steered the Water Cloud Shuttle, drawing a winding trajectory in mid-air and leaving behind spatial illusions, thus avoiding the psychic weapons shot at by the minotaur warrior and the ape-man controller.

"The extreme cold world is coming!"

Immediately, Lu Jin raised his hand and pointed, and the Heavenly Frost Divine Weapon on his back instantly shot out thousands of blue lights.

Countless tiny blue cones burst forth with blue threads, triggering the fundamental laws of water and space in the universe.

With the ingenious combination of the Heavenly Frost Divine Weapon and the two fundamental laws, the majestic Primordial Tongtian Mountain vanished instantly, replaced by a snowy world where snowflakes danced in the air.

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

The next moment, three extremely cold ice spikes materialized from behind the heads of the minotaur, the ape-man, and the snake woman.

The sixth level of the Heavenly Frost Divine Weapon is 'Extreme Cold World', and the second level is 'Ubiquitous'!
In an instant, before the three could react, three extremely cold ice spikes pierced through their skulls.

The original Tongtian Mountain, the pass at the foot of the mountain, pass through!
"Whoosh!"

Retrieving the Heavenly Frost Divine Weapon components that had transformed into an extremely cold world, Lu Jin piloted the Water Cloud Shuttle and flew towards the mountainside.

At the mountain pass, the opponents remain the same: the minotaur warrior, the ape-man controller, and the snake-woman illusionist.

However, compared to the pass at the foot of the mountain, the three of them were ten times stronger at this pass.

However, after activating the third layer of the extreme cold world, the 'Cold Realm Cone', Lu Jin still easily defeated it.

Mountain Pass.

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

Faced with the attacks of the three minotaurs, Lu Jin stepped on the Water Cloud Shuttle, his body twisting and turning at lightning speed to dodge, leaving behind a large number of spatial illusions in mid-air.

As thousands of blue lights surged behind him, the fundamental laws of water and space fluctuated, and a six-foot-long ice crystal snowball rapidly condensed amidst the dazzling blue radiance.

The seventh level of the Heavenly Frost Divine Weapon: 'Frost Descends'!
At this point, the roles of offense and defense have reversed.

"call out!"

Under Lu Jin's control, the ice crystal snowballs hurtled toward the ape-man controller at lightning speed.

The snake-woman's specialty was illusion, but her illusions posed no threat to Lu Jin.

While the minotaur is quite strong, he is a martial artist, and as long as the distance is maintained, it is difficult for a martial artist to catch up with the agile controller.

The primary target is naturally the ape-man controller.

"boom--"

"boom--"

"boom--"

While dodging the attacks of the psychic weapons controlled by the minotaur warrior and the snake-woman, Lu Jin manipulated the ice crystal snowballs to engage in head-on attacks with the ape-man controller.

Soon, under the repeated impacts, the ape-man controller's consciousness, which was not powered up, could not hold on. His psychic weapon, the 'Arc Serpent,' was destroyed, and his consciousness fell into a daze.

"White ape!"

Seeing the ape-man's telekinetic weapon destroyed, the minotaur and the snake woman couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The two men's exclamations, of course, could not change the fate of the ape-man controller.

"Puff puff--"

The next second, the ice crystal snowball hurtled towards them at lightning speed, bursting forth with countless extremely cold snowflakes that tore through space, directly shredding the ape-man controller into ice crystal fragments.

Subsequently, Lu Jin turned his attention to the minotaur warriors, who were considered more threatening in comparison.

'Depend on!'

The minotaur warrior cursed under his breath and quickly dodged.

He knew very well that Lu Jin's divine weapon attack was extremely powerful. Even though it was only at the seventh level of the divine weapon, he really didn't have the resources to fight to the death.

Unfortunately, how can a martial artist's speed match that of a telekinetic weapon?
Seconds later, the minotaur warrior was caught up by the ice crystal snowballs that shot out countless extremely cold snowflakes, and was then shredded into dust.

With two out of three opponents gone, the snake-man illusionist was left to fend for himself and soon followed suit.

The primordial, cosmic-level Tongtian Mountain, passed!
