Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 183 Purgatory Blood River, Small Gathering
After several days of being infused with the power of the world, Lu Jin's Blood God Child avatar finally recognized this top-grade ordinary domain treasure as its master.

At the same time, a feedback message surged into Lu Jin's mind.

Once a treasure is crafted by a treasure refiner and becomes its owner, the owner will not receive any information from the treasure itself; the treasure refiner must inform the owner or the owner must check the information themselves.

However, treasures that are spontaneously created by the primordial universe will provide their basic information to the person who recognizes them as their master when they are first recognized as such.

——【Purgatory Blood River: A common supreme treasure of the time and space dual-attribute domain type, applicable to immortal gods of any attribute. When a cosmic venerable releases a time or space law domain, it can overlap with the Purgatory Blood River to enhance the power of the Purgatory Blood River.

Once activated, it can form a vast river of blood, exerting an extremely strong corrosive and binding force on enemies within it.

"Shh!"

With a thought, Lu Jin communicated with the Kunlun Mirror, activated spatial teleportation, and sent the Blood God Child avatar, who had acquired the Purgatory Blood River, back into the Time Palace.

'A style brimming with gore—perfect for the fully-formed Blood God Child incarnation.'

Gazing at the Blood River of Purgatory, which had shrunk to the size of a blood-red ribbon, Lu Jin thought to himself before tossing it to his Netherworld Blood Sea clone within the original core's inner world.

Just as he was about to continue creating the technique, suddenly, Fatty's voice rang out: "Master, Luo Feng sent an email, saying he'd like to invite you to a small gathering."

Virtual Universe, Yuxiang Mountain Primitive Area, Manor No. 115, inside Luo Feng's manor.

In the beautiful garden, Lu Jin and Luo Feng were eating hot pot around a stone table.

"Ding--"

After clinking glasses, Lu Jin downed his glass of wine in one gulp and asked, "How's it going in the Blood Luo World lately?"

"The Blood Crystal is indeed powerful. Although I didn't fuse with many of them, the Golden Horned Beast is very suitable for fusion, and my speed of understanding the laws has increased dramatically."

Luo Feng said with a smile.

To be honest, the Blood Luo World that Lu Jin recommended to him back then was indeed a good place.

The improvement it brought him far exceeded that of Visca Star; at least he didn't understand what great opportunity Visca Star contained.

But even if the opportunities on Visca Star are great, they can't compare to the Blood Crystal, which can enhance affinity with laws and even the genetic level after fusion.

Lu Jin reminded him, "Try to get as much Blood Crystal as you can when you have the chance, at least enough for your own use."

Otherwise, if you were to pay money to buy it, a single Blood Crystal would be far more valuable than most immortal lives.

"So expensive?"

Luo Feng couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"I'm exaggerating. For outsiders who want to acquire Blood Crystal, the King level is just the threshold."

"Looks like we need to collect more!"

Luo Feng nodded, then remembered something important and said, "Brother Jin, don't you like corpses?"

Previously, my Demon Slayer Clan clone infiltrated the Immortal Temple in the Blood Luo World and dug up graves, obtaining several corpses of immortal gods.

It's a pity that this was discovered not long after it was started.

"Once I leave the Bloodlust World, I'll have the logistics department deliver it to you immediately."

Lu Jin: "."

"Let me reiterate, I don't like corpses, it's just that the corpses of the strong are useful to me, understand?"

Lu Jin said with a serious expression.

"It's okay, having little quirks is normal, I understand~"

Luo Feng said jokingly.

"I'm too lazy to care about you!"

Lu Jin rolled his eyes and said, "You're not exactly rich either, so I won't take advantage of you for nothing. An Immortal Army Lord's corpse costs 1000 to 1000 Mixed Yuan Units, a Marquis Immortal's corpse costs 1 million to 10 million Mixed Yuan Units, and a King Immortal's corpse costs 100 million to 1 billion Mixed Yuan Units."

"Sigh~"

Luo Feng gasped in shock.

You should know that the graves he dug in the Temple of Immortality were specifically chosen from those that looked high-end and classy.

Although the number of immortal god corpses acquired was not large, they were all corpses at the Marquis level of immortality.

Of course, he himself couldn't determine the corpse's social standing before death; it was Babata who told him.

"Brother Jin, you've struck it rich?"

Shocked, Luo Feng asked.

"Look at what you're saying, when have I ever been poor?"

Lu Jin raised his head.

Throughout his life, he has rarely encountered a time when he was short of money, and even if he was, he resolved the issue quickly.

"That's true, how about we get a World Lord level one?"

Nodding, Luo Feng asked again.

Aside from digging up graves or scavenging corpses, he has no way of obtaining the bodies of immortal gods.

However, this is not a problem for World Lords, even for those at the peak of the ninth level of World Lord.

This is not because he himself can hunt down a Demon Slayer Clan avatar and a Golden Horned Beast at the peak of the ninth level of the Realm Lord. Even so, he is still no match for a peak ninth-level Realm Lord.

Rather, it is the 360-vine top-grade Moyun Vine that he has now cultivated to the peak of the ninth level of the Realm Lord, which can easily hunt down ordinary peak ninth-level Realm Lord experts.

It's a sad story, but this Moyun Vine cost him nearly 20 Hunyuan Units.

Fortunately, Boss Lu is generous, and his younger brother Luo Hua is also very capable. In recent years, the performance bonuses issued by the financial investment department of Yanhuang Company have been plentiful, otherwise he would not dare to be so extravagant.

It's quite bizarre that the person who makes the most money in the entire Luo family isn't him, a member of the virtual universe company, the Primal Secret Realm.

It wasn't Xu Xin, the CEO of Yanhuang Company, but Luo Hua, the manager of Yanhuang Company's financial investment department.

"Don't give me anything below Immortal level, this isn't a garbage dump."

Lu Jin waved his hand in refusal.

"Okay~"

After clicking his tongue, Luo Feng asked hesitantly, "By the way, Brother Jin, do you think I should break through to the next level as soon as possible?"

As a close friend, Luo Feng felt immense pressure seeing Lu Jin's rapid progress.

"Have we passed the primordial Tongtian Mountain, a cosmic-level peak?"

"No, it's far from that."

"Then why are you in such a hurry to break through?"

Luo Feng: "."

Luo Feng looked at Lu Jin with a resentful expression.

"Don't look at me, to tell you the truth, I am now over 16,000 years old."

"What? Over 16,000 years old?"

Luo Feng stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

"There is a treasure called the Time Palace, which can accelerate time."

Luo Feng, my cultivation speed is not because my talent far surpasses yours, but because my total cultivation time far exceeds your imagination. You don't need to worry.

Believe in yourself, follow your own pace, and don't be influenced by others, including me.

Being fast for a while doesn't mean you'll always be fast; you understand the principle of accumulating knowledge and experience before unleashing it.

Besides, compared to the geniuses of our generation, you're already someone they can only look up to.

Lu Jin could guess at some of the urgency in Luo Feng's heart.

After all, if he put himself in Luo Feng's shoes, and Luo Feng was still a novice at the cosmic level, he would also be anxious.

That is why, since leaving Chaos City, Lu Jin has never mentioned his specific strength to Luo Feng.

You don't need to know how amazing your brother is.

All you need to do is know that your brother is better than you, and that you have a chance to catch up with me. Work hard and keep up the good work so that your brother, who knows your future potential, won't dare to slack off.

Clicking his tongue, Luo Feng asked, "Is this Time Palace any good?"

Lu Jin nodded: "I turned on the 1:1000 speedup. It works pretty well except for the virtual universe, but it has two serious flaws."

"Which two?"

Luo Feng hurriedly asked. Lu Jin held up two fingers: "One is lifespan. A world lord with ordinary life genes has a lifespan of 1000 epochs. If he enters the Thousand Times Time Palace, he will reach his limit in the primordial universe after 10,000 years."

Secondly, there's the cost. The Time Palace can only be crafted by a Universe Lord who controls time and space, and its price is beyond your imagination.

Furthermore, the cost of purchasing the Time Palace is only a small part; the major expense is the energy consumption required to maintain its time acceleration.

The greater the strength, the more life force one possesses, and the more resources are consumed.

To avoid Luo Feng's 'Dao Heart becoming unstable', Lu Jin did not want to tell him about his strength.

But as for showing off, that's still acceptable.

"Brother Jin?"

"Ok?"

Why are you so rich?

"With my good looks, why can't I be rich?"

"Can 'Handsome' be used as a unit of mixed elements?"

"That just means you're not handsome enough."

Luo Feng: "."

Waving his hand, Lu Jin said, "I'm not joking. If you want to use the Time Palace, you can come find me after you reach the Realm Lord level."

However, you can only stay in the Time Palace when you are comprehending the fundamental laws, cultivating or creating secret techniques. You should still honestly fight; simply sitting and cultivating will result in very slow progress.

Luo Feng hesitated for a moment before saying, "Didn't you say that the Time Palace is very expensive?"

It seems a bit wrong to always take advantage of others.

Lu Jin waved his hand and said, "If you feel uneasy about it, just try to leave the corpses behind when you kill strong people in the future."

Let me put it this way: your brother is incredibly wealthy. Even if you brought me the corpse of a cosmic venerable or even a cosmic master, your brother could afford a price that would satisfy you.

In the original novel, Luo Feng's path to growth involved killing many powerful figures. If these powerful figures were combined, they would definitely be the strongest force in the universe.

Even if only a small portion of the corpses remain, that would be enough to form a dominant force.

Luo Feng: "."

Such a strong necrophiliac!

After the gathering ended, Lu Jin once again devoted himself wholeheartedly to comprehending the laws and creating new ones.

The first extraterritorial battlefield: the Ice Plains Continent.

"Demon Slayer Marquis, you killed my clan's juniors! Today I've finally caught you! Die!"

A Zerg figure, resembling a ten-meter-tall humanoid avatar, a high-ranking immortal of the Marquis level, unleashed his divine power and forcefully killed Lu Jin's Blood God Child avatar.

"Hmph~, so he's a genius realm lord after all, just a bit dim-witted."

Looking at the blood and flesh fragments left behind after the death of the Blood God Child's incarnation, this Marquis-level High Immortal said disdainfully.

The fifth extraterritorial battlefield, Twilight Continent.

"Blood Demon Lord, you will die a horrible death!"

A peak immortal military lord from the demon race, with pointed horns on his head and his body covered in scales and fur, shouted fiercely.

"You lowly scum, my name is Demon Slayer Marquis. Remember not to mispronounce my name in your next life!"

The Blood God Child transformed into the crimson divine sword in his hand, unleashing streaks of hazy blue-gold sword light, and soon killed the immortal demon.

The Ninth Extraterrestrial Battlefield, Blue Radiance Continent.

"You think your name is Demon Slayer? Do you really think my demon race has no demons?"

"The one who kills you is the Golden Explosion Marquis, a member of the demon royal family, the Golden Hou clan!"

After a long and fierce battle, a demon race peak-level immortal with a wolf's head covered in golden scales and a single horn on its head tore the Blood God Child's avatar into pieces with a single claw, and then mocked disdainfully.

"Huh? Flesh and blood?"

Looking at the blood and flesh scattered on the ground, Jin Baohou was stunned.

The eleventh extraterritorial battlefield, Starflame Continent.

"Demon Slayer Marquis, aren't you called Demon Slayer? You're from my Mechanical Clan, why aren't you killing demons? What are you doing staring at me?"

A member of the Mechanical Race, a Thousand-Eyed Heart Race member with a large golden eye on his head, covered in scales and numerous eyes, barely managed to be granted the title of Marquis and Immortal, and shouted loudly.

"You have too many eyeballs; they disgust me."

The Blood God Child's avatar had icy eyes, and his sword techniques landed one after another on the opponent's divine body.

Don't push me!

What's the point of forcing you?

"boom--"

A violent roar resounded as the Thousand-Eyed Heart Clan's immortal body, barely granted the title of Marquis, self-destructed, taking with it the arrogant Blood God's incarnation.

The seventh extraterrestrial battlefield, the Star Tower, within a forbidden space.

"You're a king from another race, your divine body isn't that great, why are you fighting me to the death? Don't you think resources for restoring divine power are free?"

A demon race's Purple-Patterned Black Spider, with a body over a hundred meters in diameter, eight long legs resembling immortal divine spears, and an entirely black body covered in purple patterns on its carapace, roared.

The Purple-Striped Black Spider King couldn't understand why this five-meter-tall dwarf mule was so willful in wielding its divine power.
They started fighting the moment they met, and once they started fighting, they unleashed their divine power.

You should know that even if he has a hundred-meter-tall divine body, he will never burn his divine power unless he needs to fight to the death.

Burning divine power is exhilarating, but the more exhilarating it is while burning, the more painful it is to recover—no, even more painful.

"Hmph~, enough with the nonsense! Take this!"

The aura of the Water Beast God rippled around its body, and the power of the world disguised as divine power surged. The Water Qilin clone raised its right forelimb and slammed out a thousand-meter-long claw mark, directly tearing apart one of the spear-like spider legs of the Purple-Veined Black Spider.

The next moment, with the surge of divine power, the purple-patterned black spider's divine body was restored to its original state.

“I have informed my clan’s experts that you have been crowned king by a foreign race. If you continue to cause trouble, your demise will surely come when my clan’s experts arrive.”

The Dark Spider King warned, his tone fierce but his words betraying his inner weakness.

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

"Do you think I'm easily scared? Let me tell you, even if your Demon Ancestor came today, he couldn't save you!"

Lu Jin's hands moved without stopping, his wings flapped behind him, and as he spun around, he left a series of claw marks, showing no fear whatsoever.

Are there reinforcements?
To be honest, the thing I, the King of the Underworld, fear least is reinforcements.

If you can win, fight; if you can't, run. If you can't run away, then use exorcism talismans.

If you encounter someone carrying a powerful soul-binding treasure that even exorcism talismans can't handle, then teleport them back to the Time Palace.

Unless absolutely necessary, Lu Jin would not give up the Azure Heaven Abyss he carried.

After all, the Azure Heaven Abyss Armor he wore, as well as the three-piece set of Soul, Domain, and Palace, which were of the highest quality, were all worth more than the most ordinary supreme treasure weapons or armor.

Even if a high-level cosmic venerable were to destroy him, it would still be considered a major opportunity.

"You, a king of a foreign race, will die a horrible death!"

Half a day later, under the attack of the Water Kirin clone's secret technique, whose power was very unstable, the Dark Spider King, whose divine body had been reduced by more than half, roared fiercely with his eight eyes full of resentment.

The next moment, a terrifying, heart-pounding atmosphere filled the air.

To avoid becoming a soul slave, the Dark Spider King chose to self-destruct his divine body.

"boom--"

In an instant, a dazzling 'spark' appeared, space shattered into turbulent currents, the forbidden area trembled, and a huge energy sphere rose into the air.

'That vulgar demon, he talks about death all the time; no wonder he looks destined for a short life.'

The Azure Heaven Wings behind him expanded rapidly, protecting the entire Qilin body and easily withstanding the self-destruct attack. Lu Jin thought to himself.

It's no exaggeration to say that Lu Jin has now learned to read faces.

Although my skills are still limited, I can still tell whether someone is destined for a short life.

If someone's strength doesn't surpass that of a high-ranking king, then he can say they'll die young.
