Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 175 The Peak of Kingship Arrives
“Fatty, send an email to that ‘Lord of the Earth Abyss’ and ask him to send his bank account number. Then you transfer 100 million Mixed Yuan Units to him.”

Lu Jin said to Fatty.

"Yes, Master!"

Fatty responded.

The coordinates were correct, and the target was there, so Lu Jin was naturally generous with the reward.

The 1000 billion mixed units that were previously transferred to the 'Lingxiao' account were used to pay out bounties.

Once the bounty is paid out, he will no longer have to worry about finding traces of powerful figures from the opposing faction on the battlefields beyond the domain.

At that time, every immortal in the human faction will become his spy.

Then, Lu Jin flapped his Azure Heaven Wings behind him, and his body transformed into a dark blue stream of light in the starry sky, accelerating and soon traversing into the dark universe.

The Golden Python Demon Toad that ran away earlier, at the initial stage of the King-level, had a little bit of cleverness, but not much.

Without using divine kingdom teleportation, after traveling hundreds of billions of kilometers through the dark universe and feeling safe, they stopped.

Little did the Golden Mang Demon Toad know that his whereabouts were always under the control of the Blood God Child's avatar, who was remotely probing him using the Kunlun Mirror.

On the other side, in the virtual universe, in the extraterrestrial battlefield dimension, on the seventh island, in Shattered Star City.

Inside the luxurious restaurant with the sign "No. 006" hanging at the entrance, the burly Marquis of Diyuan was still drinking and boasting with several friends.

Suddenly, the voice of the AI ​​assistant rang in the mind of the burly Marquis of Diyuan: 'Master, King Lingxiao has sent an email requesting you to send him your bank account information.'

Immediately, Marquis Diyuan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ordered, "Biaozi, send over my Universe's Number One Bank account number."

The AI ​​assistant, 'Biao Zai,' responded, 'Yes, Master.'

Soon, 'Biao Zai's' voice rang in his mind again: 'Master, your Universe First Bank has received a remittance of 100 million Mixed Yuan Units, with the remittance note—Hidden Scale Marquis.'

"Holy crap!"

Marquis Diyuan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

100 million Mixed Yuan Units, really arrived in my account so easily?

Keep in mind that he was only a newly appointed Immortal with the title of Marquis. The windfall of 100 million Mixed Yuan Units was more than the amount of money he currently had in his bank account!

King Lingxiao, you're incredibly wealthy!
It's fitting that the other party should be granted the title of king!
I wonder if the Demon King, who was not much weaker than an ordinary king, has already killed the Hidden Scale Marquis.
At this moment, an immortal next to him complained, "What are you complaining about? Brother Biao, you're not being fair. When that Lingxiao King sent out the bounty, you actually told us it was nothing."

"You've made us miss out on the reward! What are we going to do about it?!"

Marquis Diyuan, of human origin, real name Li Biao.

"Brother Biao is treating today!"

Marquis Diyuan said with a hearty expression, having just received a windfall.

The group of people sitting together exchanged glances and said, "Ten meals, please!"

Marquis Diyuan waved his hand and said, "No problem!"

"Hey! King Lingxiao has distributed the bounty? Tell me honestly, how much did you receive?"

An immortal questioned him fiercely.

"Haha~, not many, only 100 million Mixed Yuan Units!"

Marquis Diyuan smiled and waved his hand.

"Boiled!"

Suddenly, the sounds of countless immortal plants filled the entire restaurant.

That's 100 million Mixed Yuan Units!
Let alone an immortal military lord, even a weak marquis would feel envious.

After all, cash is cash and assets are assets; they are not the same concept.

For the vast majority of immortals, earning Primal Units is no easy task.

For example, in the battlefield outside the domain, if you simply earn money by acquiring military merits, you would need to kill a high-level immortal of the opposing faction who is a Marquis to earn 100 million Hunyuan units of military merits.

On the other side, in the starry sky above Land 006.

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

The phantom of the water beast god kept raising and lowering its hooves, beating up a golden python toad that was over twenty kilometers long, had three sharp horns on its head, and was covered in golden scales.

"Hey big toad, why are you running? Can't you just obediently wait to die?!"

Controlling the illusory image of the water beast god to keep slapping its claws, Lu Jin sneered while dodging the G-level psychic divine weapon, which was controlled by the illusory divine power of the Golden Python Demon Toad and transformed into nine golden rays.

Apart from a very few exceptionally powerful or incredibly lucky immortals who obtain powerful or pseudo-powerful treasures, most immortals who are crowned kings only use G-grade immortal divine weapons.

To be honest, compared to the previous Thousand-Headed Serpent, this Golden Python Toad is much more troublesome to deal with.

First of all, this Golden Python Demon Toad, which is at the initial level of the King-level, is one level higher. Although it seems that it has not cultivated the Amplification Secret Technique, its strength has increased by about three or four times compared to the peak-level Marquis-level Ziqian Ten Thousand Serpent with three times the life gene.

Secondly, its divine body is over twenty kilometers long, much larger than the twelve-kilometer-long divine body of the Ziqian Wanshe.

Moreover, even though the length of the divine body of the Ziqian Wanshe in its spicy strip form is the same, the total amount of divine power contained in its divine body is still not comparable to that of the round-bodied Jinmang Yaoha.

Besides, the Thousand-Headed Serpent is a martial artist, while the Golden Python Toad is the controller.

When a martial artist is being beaten, he cannot attack the controller of the telekinetic weapon in the distance.

But the controller is different. For example, this golden python toad is being beaten up by the phantom of the water beast god, but it can still use its divine power to remotely control its psychic weapons to attack Lu Jin.

Fortunately, the first pair of wings of the Azure Netherworld Wings greatly increased Lu Jin's speed, and he also cultivated the "Frost Wings," a secret flying technique that combines water and air.

Furthermore, the master of this Golden Python Toad's secret techniques was somewhat lacking; its psychic weapon, which transformed into a golden beam of light, was not only slower than his, but also less agile.

It's no exaggeration to say that this Golden Python Demon Toad, which is at the initial stage of being a King, is only a bit thick in terms of health.

Faced with Lu Jin's unforgiving attitude, the Golden Wrathful Toad, who had already unleashed its divine power, remained silent.

While using his ethereal divine power to control his psychic weapons to attack Lu Jin, he also sent a sliver of his consciousness into the world ring he was carrying, and through the communicator, sent a call request to his teacher in the Star Tower area battlefield.

"Drip-drip-"

The communicator emitted a busy tone.

A short while later, the communicator connected, and a deep voice sounded: "What is it?"

The Golden Mang Demon Toad hurriedly said, "Teacher, I am on land number 006 in the Shattered Star Continent region. There is a King-level expert of unknown faction chasing me."

Even before unleashing his divine power, his strength far surpassed mine, who was already at the peak of the King-level realm, suggesting he might be a high-level King-level expert who had cultivated a high-amplitude vibration technique.

The opponent's divine body looked small, humanoid, less than two meters tall, and was wearing armor, making it impossible to determine its specific race.

In addition, he possessed a winged treasure, at least a top-tier G-grade divine weapon, with extremely high speed.

Based on the Golden Python Demon Toad's deduction that he was at the peak of the King-Sealing Realm, Lu Jin did not change his disguise when he came to chase after him. A moment later, that deep voice sounded again from the communicator: "I am still inside the Star Tower. Hang in there."

The Golden Tortoise was overjoyed and said, "Yes, teacher."

Then the call was disconnected.

Knowing that its teacher was on his way, the Golden Python Toad, which was being ravaged by the phantom of the Water Beast God, gained more confidence. Its huge yellow crystal eyes blazed with fighting spirit and even flashed with a fierce glint.

Hmph~, so what if he's at the peak of the King's Realm?

His teacher was a powerful immortal among the Golden Tortoise Clan, possessing the strength of a peak-level King, and his divine body was over twenty kilometers long.

This divine body, clad in azure armor and at the peak of the King level, is less than two meters tall. With such a huge difference in divine physique, how can he possibly fight against his own teacher?
Fortunately, the opponent's divine body was small, and burning divine power was a luxury for him; otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to hold on for long.

As a powerful figure who had long roamed the battlefields beyond the realm, the Golden Wrathful Toad was well aware of the stinginess of those lesser divine immortals.

These immortal powerhouses are unwilling to burn their divine power in battles where they have a chance to win without burning it.

However, if faced with an opponent that requires a significant amount of divine power to defeat, such immortal powerhouses will not take action unless absolutely necessary.

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

The starry sky trembled, space shattered, and blue-gold hooves carrying the power of the water-space fusion law continued to strike.

Each hoof and claw strike landed squarely on the Golden Python Toad's scaled head, even shattering the three golden horns on its head.

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

Nine golden streaks of light weaved through the air, creating a dense golden trail, but Lu Jin dodged them all. Alternatively, his six wings, like blades, struck the golden light, blocking the attack from his opponent.

Despite the long and fierce battle that yielded no significant results, Lu Jin remained unperturbed.

Even with the added benefit of the treasure, his own strength was not much stronger than that of the Golden Python Demon Toad, which had already burned its divine power.

Such an opponent is definitely a qualified sparring partner.

Moreover, the opponent's divine body is quite large, making it a formidable tank.

Such a skilled sparring partner, capable of drawing blood with every strike, is truly hard to find outside of battlefields abroad.

Time passed slowly, and after a while of 'gua sha', with a 'boom', the phantom of the water beast god slammed down with another hoof.

In Lu Jin's perception, the aura emanating from the Golden Python Demon Toad, which was being constantly beaten, had begun to weaken slightly.

'Has the divine body suffered more than 10% damage?'

Lu Jin raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself.

'Why hasn't the teacher arrived yet? If this continues, even if he hasn't perished, his divine body will need countless years to recover.'

The Golden Python Toad, feeling utterly aggrieved by the beating, thought bitterly to itself.

Of course, he didn't hate his own teacher, but rather Lu Jin, the culprit, and the 'Hidden Scale Marquis' of the Myriad Serpents who caused this incident and is now probably dead.

If he hadn't previously thought that since they were both demons and he was a member of the royal family, he should have helped him if he could, he wouldn't have been targeted by this unknown peak-level king.
It's important to know that if the divine body is severely damaged, recovery is extremely difficult.

They either bleed themselves dry to buy all sorts of precious resources to restore themselves, or they hide in the divine kingdom to restore themselves for countless years.

The ultimate treasure?

Are you kidding me? He's just a lowly Karami with only the initial rank of King. What qualifications does he have to access such a high-level treasure?

Let alone him, even his teachers at the peak of the King level are not qualified to have contact with him.

Among the entire demon race, only those who have reached the level of a Universe Venerable can apply to the race to borrow the primordial treasure to restore their divine body, and even then, it's not free.

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

The battle continued when suddenly, faint spatial fluctuations appeared.

Another immortal-level Golden Python Demon Toad, over twenty kilometers long, covered in golden scales, with three sharp golden horns on its head and a round body, appeared in the starry sky.

Immediately afterwards, a spatial force spread out, and the surrounding starry sky seemed to freeze.

At that moment, Lu Jin felt a powerful, invisible binding force descend upon him and the phantom of the Water Beast God.

'Teleportation and sealing—two profound techniques at the pinnacle of kingship?!'

Looking at the second Golden Python Toad that suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and feeling the spatial binding power descending upon him, Lu Jin's pupils shrank sharply under the protection of the Azure Heaven Armor.

This immortal-level golden python toad that suddenly appeared on the battlefield first used spatial teleportation, and then spatial sealing. Unless it used a special treasure, it must have the strength of a peak king.

"Hmph~!"

The next moment, a cold snort rang out, and the Golden Toad King, the demon toad, burned its divine power without hesitation.

As a terrifying aura spread, the secret technique of soul enslavement was unleashed, and the Golden Toad King's divine power became ethereal, instantly enveloping Lu Jin.

As a peak-level expert at the King level, the Golden Toad King had naturally cultivated the secret technique of soul enslavement.

This immortal, clad in dark blue armor, was able to easily defeat his disciple, King Jin Nu, without burning his divine power, indicating that his strength was at the peak of the King-level, or perhaps he was a high-level immortal who had cultivated the Amplification Secret Technique.

With such strength, even though his divine body is very small, he can still be considered a skilled fighter and is qualified to occupy one of his limited enslavement slots.

'boom! ’

A surge of ethereal divine power entered Lu Jin's mind, attempting to forcibly enslave him.

'Om—'

But at that moment, Lu Jinna, having cultivated the secret technique "Frost Roar," transformed into a water beast god. Within his soul, the azure blue Azure Heaven Heart trembled slightly, easily blocking the invasion of this ethereal divine power.

At the same time, a golden vine mark flickered slightly on Lu Jin's wrist, which was protected by the Azure Heaven Armor.

Immediately, an aura even stronger than that of the Golden Toad King after burning its divine power spread out.

In the blink of an eye, a Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass with a divine body that radiates for millions of kilometers appeared in the vast starry sky.

Moreover, it is an immortal-grade Thousand Vine Star-Eating Grass with ten times the genetic power and burning divine power.

'blockade!'

Lu Jin silently shouted in his heart, activating the secret runes on the second pair of wings of the Azure Netherworld Wings, and an invisible spatial power instantly spread out.

In an instant, the spatial forces that bound him dissipated.

Although Lu Jin's spatial sealing was forcibly activated with the help of a treasure, its actual effect would be weakened.

However, it is ultimately a spatial blockade, which is enough to counteract the spatial binding force imposed on oneself by non-Spatial Venerables and restrict non-Spatial Venerables from performing spatial teleportation in the surrounding area.
