Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 194 Venerable-level Plant Life, H-class Spaceship

"These three metal tablets respectively record the secret techniques for divine body transformation, the secret techniques for a hundredfold increase in divine body amplitude, and the secret techniques for a hundredfold increase in soul amplitude."

You two should go to the Immortal Transformation Palace, bring enough Divine Source Liquid, and then go to the Time Palace in the Rainbow Garment Divine Kingdom. In the Time Palace, use the Divine Source Liquid to cultivate these two Amplification Secret Techniques to perfection.

He then returned to the Celestial Realm, first using the Bloodline Source Crystal, then eating the Peaches of Immortality, and finally refining the lower and higher Law Godheads.

"After becoming a Cosmic Venerable, if your divine body is not fully transformed, absorb the Divine Source Liquid to restore it to perfection. I will have other plans then."

Lu Jin said to Zi Zhenfeng and Zi Yumo.

The secret technique of 100x amplitude, "Innate Dao Body," requires less energy to cultivate the lower one's life level.

The energy consumed in cultivating at the Immortal stage is far less than that of a Universe Venerable, so naturally one must complete cultivation before entering the Venerable stage.

Since lower-level divine status was worthless, Lu Jin allowed them to become universe venerables like Zi Ni Chang, mastering all eight lower-level laws.

The superior time law godhood was given to Zi Zhenfeng, and the superior space law godhood was given to Zi Yumo.

Lu Jin's assessment of Zi Zhenfeng was that he would be the number one human henchman in the Heavenly Court for a long time afterward, second only to Zi Nishang.

After he creates the ultimate secret technique in the future, he will be allowed to work part-time as a treasure refiner to create wealth.

As for Zi Yumo, she was taught by Zi Nishang, who focused on refining treasures to create wealth and also served as her enforcer.

"Yes, Master!"

The two bowed in response and put away the many precious resources.

"Go~"

Lu Jin waved his hand.

After the two left, Lu Jin did not stay in Lingxiao Palace for long. He flew out of Lingxiao Palace, passed through the endless golden sea of ​​clouds, and landed on the endless land of Daluotian.

"Shh!"

With a wave of his hand, three plants, whose size was suppressed, materialized into life: Star-Eating Grass, Bloodthorn, and Cloud-Moving Vine.

"Owner."

As soon as they appeared, the three plants swayed their branches and leaves, whispering their dependence on Lu Jin.

"Would this be of any use to you?"

As he spoke, a pile of dark golden Venerable-level life source crystals materialized in front of Lu Jin.

To be honest, because the Abyss Demon Lord's divine body that was killed in the Dead Silence Abyss was too small, there weren't many Venerable-level Life Source Crystals extracted from its decomposition.

Furthermore, since he couldn't bear to let Zi Ni Chang decompose her divine body into life source crystals, Lu Jin hadn't actually used a Venerable-level life source crystal to verify whether it could be effective on immortal-level plant life.

"Susu~"

Immediately, the three plants extended a thin vine or branch, which then burrowed into the Venerable-level life source crystal pile to absorb and refine it.

Before long, Mo Yun spoke first: "Master, the life source crystal at the Universe Venerable level is different from the Immortal level. It can allow my divine body to evolve towards the advanced King level."

However, the required quantity is large, and I don't know the exact amount at the moment.

In terms of divine physique alone, the peak of the King-level realm is the upper limit for immortal gods.

However, disregarding the factor of ten times the life gene, among the three plant life forms, only the Star-Eating Grass's divine body is at the peak of the King-level, the Blood Thorn is only at the advanced King-level, and the Cloud-Piercing Vine is only at the initial King-level.

Therefore, Lu Jin also tried to have Bloodthorn and Moyun continue to absorb and refine the Immortal-level Life Source Crystal to see if they could raise their divine bodies to the peak of the King-level.

But it's clear that the word 'strongest' is not just empty words, just like the life genes of ordinary universe venerables can only reach a maximum of a hundred times.

Even the most mysterious and immortal-grade life crystals could not help Bloodthorn and Moyun break through this 'strongest' limit.

"Where's Bloodthorn?"

Lu Jin looked at the Bloodthorns.

"That's possible, at least it can be strengthened to the peak of the King level, but the demand is also very large."

Bloodthorn replied.

Lu Jin nodded and looked at the Star-Eating Grass.

I'm not afraid of your high demand, I'm just afraid that it won't work for you.

High demand is normal. After all, the Moyun Vine and Blood Thorn have different radiance, one radiating 300,000 kilometers and the other 100,000 kilometers respectively. It would be strange if they were consumed less.

To be honest, Lu Jin didn't care about the consumption of Moyun and Bloodthorn.

He certainly couldn't afford the Venerable-level Life Source Crystals required for these two plants to advance to the level of a Universe Venerable.

The Green Dragon Venerable's divine body was only a little over ten kilometers long. Not counting mass, but just considering quantity, assuming the life gene factors remained unchanged, it was only equivalent to the total amount of divine power contained in a divine body at the peak of the King level, about fifty kilometers long.

Compared to the massive divine bodies of Mo Yun and Xue Ci, the peak divine bodies of a King-level being only about fifty kilometers in size are merely tiny sprouts.

According to the law of conservation of energy, the Venerable-level Life Source Crystals in his pocket were simply not enough for Mo Yun and Xue Ci to enter the Universe Venerable level.

But the Star Eater is different; the strongest Star Eater herb is only one step away from becoming a Universe Venerable.

For life forms at the limit of this stage, the energy accumulation is complete before they can move to the next life level; all they need is a catalyst that can bring about a qualitative change.

Just like when it was still at the World Lord level, the Star Devourer was also very large, with a radius of over 90,000 kilometers.

Even with ten times the life genes, Shi Xing only consumed tens of thousands of immortal-level life source crystals to advance from the peak of the ninth level of the realm lord to immortality.

At present, the Immortal has stepped into the Universe Venerable realm, so the consumption of Venerable-level Life Source Crystals is certainly not too exaggerated.

Shi Xing didn't speak immediately. After absorbing for a while, he said, "Master, I probably need to absorb ten million Venerable-level Life Source Crystals to break through."

"Ten million?"

Lu Jin raised an eyebrow, waved his hand, and tens of millions of Venerable-level Life Source Crystals materialized, piling up into a small mountain in the distance.

Ten million Venerable-level Life Source Crystals are nothing.

His current stockpile of Venerable-level Life Source Crystals is limited, but once the Star-Eating Grass reaches the Universe Venerable level, he will never lack these things again.

The divine essence liquid produced by the Immortal Transformation Pool can quickly restore the divine body. The divine body of the Star-Eating Grass radiates for millions of kilometers. Just by picking some main vines, you can get as many Venerable-level life essence crystals as you want.

"Master is the best!"

With a cheer, Shi Xing's divine body rapidly expanded, and countless enormous golden vines swept around where Lu Jin stood, manifesting a massive divine body with a radius of millions of kilometers. It began to absorb and refine the Venerable-level life source crystals piled up like a small mountain.

Time passed slowly, and half a day later...

With the millions of Venerable-level Life Source Crystals completely devoured, the Star-Eating Grass had now transformed into a dazzling golden state.

'Om—'

A profound and awe-inspiring tremor arose.

The wondrous power of evolution seemed to have accumulated to a limit, and the divine body radiated for millions of kilometers, the golden Star-Eating Grass bursting out with terrifying energy fluctuations.

'boom! ’

Suddenly, without warning, the surrounding space and time froze instantly.

The endless golden sea of ​​clouds rolling within the Great Luo Heaven, the constantly manifesting threads of law in the sky, and Lu Jin, Xue Ci, and Mo Yun, who were watching from afar, all froze in that instant.

At this moment, the primordial will of the universe descends upon the Great Luo Heaven!
"Shh!"

A golden light appeared out of thin air and entered the massive divine body of the Star-Eating Grass below.

Subsequently, the primordial will of the universe departed, the surrounding spacetime returned to normal, and the primordial laws of the universe descended.

A terrifying energy fluctuation arose, and above the Star-Eating Grass, whose divine body radiated for millions of kilometers, a huge multicolored vortex with a diameter of millions of kilometers appeared.

The five spatial laws of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are perfectly in harmony, while at the core of the five-colored vortex lies nothingness, emanating the aura of endless spatial primordial laws.

"Whoosh whoosh-"

Countless divine seawater surged down from the core void of the multicolored vortex, which had a diameter of over a million kilometers, and the Star-Eating Grass began to devour it frantically.

'Even more magnificent than when Ni Chang stepped into the Venerable One realm!'

Lu Jin, who was watching from a distance, thought to himself.

"Big Brother Foodie is amazing!"

"Big brother is indeed big brother."

Bloodthorn and Moyun whispered to each other.

Before long, the origin of the universe receded, and the enormous multicolored vortex with a diameter of millions of miles in the sky disappeared.

When a realm lord enters immortality, the origin of the universe will bestow infinite divine power, allowing you to quickly and completely transform your body into a divine body, no matter how large you are.

However, it's different for immortals who have entered the realm of cosmic venerables. The divine power descended from the origin of the universe is no longer infinite. The specific proportion that can be converted depends entirely on the individual's absorption rate.

However, generally speaking, the smaller the size of the divine body, the higher the conversion rate, and it is even possible to completely complete the conversion.

However, even if only a small portion of the life form of a divine body is transformed, its total divine power is countless times that of a minor divine body cosmic venerable.

At this moment, Lu Jin waved his hand, and the massive amount of golden divine source liquid that he had stored in the world ring beforehand materialized.

"Eat the stars, absorb the divine source liquid and transform your divine body."

Lu Jin said to Shi Xing.

The immortal-level Star-Eating Grass, whose divine body radiates across millions of kilometers, has entered the realm of the Cosmic Venerable. However, his divine body transformation was definitely not complete. Therefore, he had previously made a trip to the Immortal Transformation Palace and brought back a massive amount of divine source liquid.

"Susu~"

The golden vines of the Star-Eating Grass, resembling celestial bodies, swayed and began to devour the divine source liquid, which seemed to possess unclaimed divine power.

"Sweet, sweet—"

As the Star-Eating Grass rapidly devoured the divine essence, the massive amount of divine essence floating in mid-air began to shrink visibly, while the Star-Eating Grass's divine power deficit was quickly filled.

Before long, most of the massive amount of divine source liquid that Lu Jinju had manifested was devoured by the Star-Eating Grass.

Even if the Immortal Transformation Pool were brought into the Thousand Times Time Palace, it wouldn't increase the output of Divine Source Liquid, but Lu Jin really didn't lack this stuff.

The output of divine source liquid from the Immortal Transformation Pool is equivalent to one hundred million times the amount of divine power restored by a perfect genetic standard divine body universe master, which is absolutely enough to make Lu Jin a rich man with no shortage of divine power.

Just as Lu Jin was about to continue manifesting the divine source liquid within the world ring, a sudden change occurred.

"Boom boom boom—" In the distance, the Star-Eating Grass, which was devouring the Divine Source Liquid, began to expand rapidly once again, its divine body, which radiated for millions of kilometers.

"!!!"

Upon seeing this, Lu Jin's eyes widened in surprise.

In terms of size alone, plant life is quite unique.

The vast majority of life forms in the universe will retain the same physical form as the peak ninth-level World Lord when they reach the Immortal level; there will be no further improvement in their physical form.

To increase one's physical size, one must wait until one becomes a master of the universe, after which the size limitation of the divine body disappears, and then one can consume precious resources to improve it.

Lu Jin originally thought that even if plant life was special, the physical improvement of the World Lord after entering immortality would be the last improvement.

But to everyone's surprise, after breaking the conventional limit of "strongest" and entering the realm of Cosmic Venerable, his divine body improved once again.

Since it's an improvement, it certainly won't be as simple as just doubling or tripling; there's at least room for a tenfold increase.

Furthermore, this tenfold increase in potential refers to a tenfold increase in length.

If the length or height of the same life increases tenfold, that's a thousandfold increase in divine power reserves!

Several more hours passed, and when each of the Star-Eating Grass's thousand main vines had grown to ten million kilometers long and one hundred thousand kilometers thick, it finally stopped devouring.

'Thankfully, there's the Immortal Transformation Pool; otherwise, I would have had to borrow a supreme treasure from the source.'

During this time, Lu Jin made another trip to the Immortal Transformation Hall and obtained an absolutely sufficient supply of Divine Source Liquid, thinking to himself.

Then, the enormous star-eating grass rapidly shrank.

In the blink of an eye, the enormous divine body that originally radiated for tens of millions of kilometers shrank into a small golden grass a little over a foot tall.

"Shh!"

The Star-Eating Grass, now shrunk in size, appeared in front of Lu Jin.

"Spatial teleportation? You can also use the laws of space now, Star Eater?"

Lu Jin asked in surprise.

Before breaking through to the Cosmic Venerable level, don't be fooled by the fact that the Star-Eating Grass is a peak Immortal of the Gold-type King with ten times the life gene; it has absolutely no knowledge of spatial mysteries.

"Yes, the origin of the universe directly granted me the laws of the higher space, and the will of the origin descended before."

The Star Eater swayed its grass tips and spoke to Lu Jin.

"The primordial will descended?"

Lu Jin was stunned; he really didn't know about this.

That makes sense; when the primordial will descends, it freezes the surrounding spacetime, even pausing the thoughts of living beings.

Apart from beings that receive gifts from the primordial will, other beings cannot detect it; at least, beings of his level cannot detect it.

The Star Eater said, "It descended at the moment of my breakthrough, boosting my life genes by a hundredfold. As for the change in the size of my divine body, it has nothing to do with the original will."

"So, Star Eater, what level of strength do you have now?"

Lu Jin asked.

You know what, the resilience of plant life is quite mysterious.

Like the Star-Eating Grass before its breakthrough, it clearly doesn't know any secret techniques or how to use superior laws, but with ten times the gene strength, its power is still comparable to the limit of the King-Sealing Realm.

Furthermore, due to its extremely large size, even an invincible king could not do anything to it.

The Star-Eating Grass said, "I don't know either~"

"Alright, let Ni Chang try it later. Star Eater, it's time for you to sacrifice yourself again."

Smacking his lips, Lu Jin spoke while poking the golden leaves of the Star-Eating Grass with his finger.

Star Eater: "."

Is it time for Ga Bao's main vine to sprout again?

However, since it was its dearest owner who spoke, the Star-Eating Grass would not refuse.

Immediately, a main vine that was suppressed in size, seemingly only a foot long, but actually tens of millions of kilometers long and hundreds of thousands of kilometers thick, was rolled up by another main vine of the Star-Eating Clan and handed to Lu Jin.

"Give me some more, let's make ten."

Lu Jin said with a smile.

Soon, Lu Jin stuffed the ten main vines of the Venerable-level Star-Eating Grass into the Demon-Refining Pot.

Before long, a massive amount of dark golden Venerable-level life source crystals appeared in the infinitely large internal space of the Demon Refining Pot.

When Lu Jin first possessed the Immortal-grade Thousand Vine Star-Eating Grass, he achieved freedom in obtaining the Immortal-grade Life Source Crystal.

With the Venerable-level Thousand Vine Star-Eating Grass in hand, Lu Jin has once again achieved freedom in obtaining Venerable-level Life Source Crystals.

Most of the day later.

Having consumed countless Venerable-level Life Source Crystals and Divine Source Liquid, following Star Eater, Mo Yun, Blood Thorn, Shenzhou Metal Life Spaceship, Zi Ni Chang's three plant life forms, and Guanghan Metal Life Spaceship, successively entered the realm of Cosmic Venerable.

While enhancing the life of the plants, Lu Jin also remembered the two spaceships that were integrated with the metal life of the Silver Elves, which were also upgraded using resources.

Without exception, after breaking the shackles of the 'strongest', the primordial will of the universe descended one after another, and all five plant life forms and two biological spaceships achieved a hundredfold increase in genes.

Of course, although the number of life genes is the same, the size of the divine body is different.

The Star-Eating Grass God Body radiates outwards for tens of millions of kilometers, the Cloud-Moving Vine God Body radiates outwards for three million kilometers, the Bloodthorn God Body radiates outwards for one million kilometers, while the Shenzhou and Guanghan metal life spaceships only radiate outwards for ten kilometers.

Subsequently, Zi Ni Chang personally tested the strength of the six Venerable-level plant life forms and the two H-class spaceships.

F-class spaceships correspond to Immortal Lords and Marquis-level ships, while G-class spaceships correspond to King-level ships.

Since it is a spaceship that has fused with Venerable-level metal life forms, then in terms of classification, if we use alphabetical order, it will naturally be an unprecedented H-class spaceship.

After a series of tests, the results were in.

Although they broke the shackles of being the 'strongest,' the improvement in the strength of the six plant life forms was relatively limited due to the lack of ultimate techniques and secret methods, as well as the absence of divine body amplification techniques.

For example, compared to the strongest ordinary Star-Eating Grass, excluding the size of the divine body, the strength of Star-Eating Grass is ten thousand times that of the strongest ordinary Star-Eating Grass.

The hundredfold improvement after entering the realm of the Cosmic Venerable, plus the hundredfold improvement brought by the hundredfold increase in life genes, totals ten thousandfold.

The increase was not as large as Lu Jin had previously estimated.

Bad news: Venerable-level plant life forms are not as powerful as those in the Immortal stage.

Good news! By breaking through the strongest shackles, even Venerable-level plant life forms can receive the blessing of the primordial will of the universe, achieving a hundredfold increase in life genes.

Furthermore, aside from still lacking a soul and the innate secret techniques that special life forms must possess, the Star Eaters can already comprehend laws, use treasures, and cultivate secret techniques, making them no different from other plant-type special life forms with a hundred times the genetic potential, and possessing considerable growth potential.

In contrast to the six Venerable-level plant life forms that possess growth potential, the two H-class spaceships, or more precisely, the two Venerable-level Silver Witch Clan metal life forms, do not possess growth potential.

However, every advantage has its disadvantages. The advantage of not having the potential for growth is that the two H-class spaceships already possess considerable strength.

Take Lu Jin's Shenzhou spaceship as an example. Not only can its hull be ever-changing, but its material strength is also close to that of ordinary heavy treasures, making it extremely strong in defense, and its maximum flight speed exceeds a thousand times the speed of light.

In terms of armament, it has twelve main guns and one hundred and eight secondary guns.

The twelve main cannons have a 30-second cooldown time for charging, and their power is comparable to a full-force strike from a high-level cosmic lord.

The 108 secondary cannons have a 3-second cooldown time for charging, and their power is comparable to a full-force attack from a beginner-level cosmic venerable.

Moreover, after burning divine power, the power of the twelve main cannons and one hundred and eight secondary cannons can be increased a thousandfold.

A high-level cosmic venerable with an abundance of treasures might be able to face the Shenzhou spaceship without fear.

However, a mid-level universe venerable would definitely not be able to withstand the continuous bombardment from the Shenzhou spaceship's numerous main and secondary cannons without any extraordinary treasures.

'It seems necessary to equip all the Venerable-level Heavenly Generals under my Heavenly Court with Venerable-level plant life forms and H-class spaceships from now on.'

Lu Jin thought to himself.

With sufficient life source crystals at all levels, cultivating Venerable-level plant life and H-level metal life spaceships is not difficult at all.

The Immortal Transformation Pool is highly efficient at producing Divine Source Liquid.

With Venerable-level Star-Eating Grass that radiates for tens of millions of kilometers, there is an abundance of Venerable-level Life Source Crystals.

Later, we can obtain another Immortal-grade Thousand Vine Star-Eating Grass, ensuring we won't lack Immortal-grade life resources.

Realm Lord and Domain Lord level life source crystals can be obtained by ordering large quantities of insect corpses from the nine garbage star regions.

The life source crystals below the domain lord level are a bit troublesome, but this trouble only applies to the manpower for collecting corpses. He doesn't need to collect them himself; as long as the cosmic coins are provided, it will be fine.

Meanwhile, just as Lu Jin was cultivating an unprecedented Venerable-level plant life and an H-class spaceship, a large number of cosmic Venerables from the human race and the Hongmeng launched their operations.

Regardless of strength, the corpse of any weak race's Universe Venerable will be purchased for a uniform price of 10 Treasure Points.
It's profitable!
If I can't handle a powerful Venerable, surely I can handle a weak one?
Those Cosmic Venerables who are proficient in soul attacks and can leave behind corpses after killing their opponents have seen the dawn of sudden wealth.

The strength of a Cosmic Venerable can be divided into five levels: Elementary Cosmic Venerable, Intermediate Cosmic Venerable, Advanced Cosmic Venerable, Cosmic Overlord, and Top Cosmic Overlord.

Aside from the top-tier cosmic overlords who can only achieve this through high-multiplication-level life genes, the cosmic venerables in the top four tiers of strength are actually not fundamentally different.

The reason for dividing them into these four levels is simply the difference in life genes, amplitude secret techniques, treasures, and unique secret techniques.

However, apart from the fact that unique skills and secret techniques need to be created by oneself, the other three factors are all directly related to financial resources.

The Heavenly Craft Pavilion is currently buying up the corpses of alien Venerables without limit, presenting a lucrative opportunity. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a feast for a large number of early and mid-level Universe Venerables, as well as a few high-level Universe Venerables, from the human race and the Hong Alliance.

In other words, a corpse of an alien venerable only has 10 treasure points, which is insignificant compared to high-level treasures that often have double-digit treasure points. Otherwise, even the universe's overlord would lower himself to become an assassin.

"They're all sending emails, and they're all acquaintances. It's getting a bit complicated."

In a certain plane of the virtual universe, the figure appeared somewhat illusory, but the aura it exuded was extremely strong. The Shadow Monarch thought to himself.

It is the nature of intelligent life to bully the weak and fear the strong. The human race and the cosmic venerables of the Hongmeng who were preparing to take action after they were moved also knew that they would pick on the weak.

As the head of both the Virtual Universe Company and the Hongmeng Intelligence Department, Shadow Monarch certainly knows better than they do which persimmons are soft and which are hard.

Consequently, many cosmic venerables who had acquaintances with the Shadow Lord sent emails inquiring about the whereabouts of the easy target.

'The shaman owes a lot of debt; perhaps he should take good care of this unfortunate fellow.'

After a moment's thought, the Shadow Monarch made a decision.
