Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 202 The Third Peak Treasure, the Eight-Colored Divine Light Cone

'We've already been to the Land of Inheritance; next up is the Land of Treasures. I wonder what level of treasures we'll get. Hopefully, the leaders of the Ancestral God Sect will be generous.'

Lu Jin thought to himself.

The treasures in the treasure trove were all placed there by the powerful figures of the Ancestral God Sect.

As long as the opening conditions set by the powerful treasure hunter are met, the treasure can be obtained.

The Water Kirin clone at the Realm Lord level is not only a special life form, but also possesses perfect genes and has achieved the third major accomplishment of the Water-Air Fusion Law.

Such an outstanding 'insider' should be able to unlock some of the top-ranked treasures.

Of course, Lu Jin didn't go directly there. As far as he knew, the Ancestral God Sect's special control system would know anything the inheritor did within the area covered by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake.

Once this special control system records the inheritor's various conditions, as long as the inheritor goes to the treasure's location and meets the conditions for opening the treasure, they can obtain the treasure.

Moreover, this control system is so pervasive that it can be collected and recorded even if the legacy is secretly displayed in one's own mansion or palace.

Subsequently, Lu Jin, inside the palace, removed the disguise of his false divine power, revealing his World Lord-level life level, perfect genes, a hundredfold increase in divine body amplitude and a hundredfold increase in soul amplitude, as well as the third-level water-space fusion law.

Battle records within the Glory World can also serve as one of the conditions for unlocking certain treasures.

However, Lu Jin, who was skilled at fishing, was not prepared to reveal his abilities so easily.

At present, the King of the Underworld is not very famous, and basically no successors will challenge him. He has to take the initiative to challenge others.

But after a few matches, people will basically know your own strengths and weaknesses.

On the other hand, if you go to the treasure land first and open a treasure that meets the conditions, the name of the Underworld King will immediately spread throughout the hundreds of millions of inheritors of the entire Purple Thorn Island.

The number of inheritors at the same level as him is the largest, exceeding 90 million. Knowing that he has obtained a treasure, many of them, out of jealousy, will undoubtedly challenge him.

Even if only one in a thousand people are jealous and issue a challenge, there are still more than 90,000 challengers.

With a divine body of consistent strength within the Glory World, a pinnacle secret technique that most third-level inheritors have failed to master, and a hundredfold limit amplitude that most cosmic venerables have not possessed, even if his understanding of the laws is not yet perfected at the third level, his strength can still rank among the top of the more than 90 million third-level inheritors.

There must exist third-level inheritors who are stronger than him, but they are definitely very few.

In the world of Glory, the minimum bet for each battle is 1 Glory Point, and 100 Glory Points can be exchanged for one Inheritance opportunity.

If there are truly 90,000 challengers, that would be enough for him to achieve freedom in inheriting the Beast God's legacy.

After demonstrating his abilities, Lu Jin once again disguised himself as a peak-level King using his Disguise Divine Power, left the mansion and palace, and headed to the island lord's palace square.

"Shh!"

A streak of pale blue light streaked across the sky and landed in the plaza in front of the island lord's palace.

Just as Lu Jin was about to head to the treasure land, he saw a demon figure emerge from the fountain's water curtain leading to the secret realm on his right.

With its snow-white fur and emerald green eyes, even though the creature had suppressed its divine body size, Lu Jin recognized it at a glance as a demon wolf at least at the peak of the King-level.

Upon seeing Lu Jin, the Sky Wolf Clan's 'Moon-Running King' paused, sized Lu Jin up, and tentatively asked, "Netherworld King?"

The Water Kirin clone was quite powerful, and many of the three races' kings had died at his hands. The Netherworld King was no nobody in the Star Tower area of ​​the Seventh Domain Outer Battlefield, so it was not surprising that he was recognized by the demon race's kings.

"You little brat, now that you know it's your grandpa here, why don't you get lost?"

Raising his head slightly, Lu Jin said with an arrogant and disdainful expression.

You can't be nice to an enemy. Anyway, he's destined to become a treasure-hunting mini-boss in the eyes of the alien races. There are plenty of people who want to kill him and steal his treasures. One more or one less won't make a difference.

"Humph~"

King Benyue snorted coldly and said, "As rumored, you are extremely arrogant. King Youming, don't think that you are invincible just because you killed a few peak-level Kings in the Star Tower. Do you dare to fight me in the secret realm?"

Although the Netherworld King is quite powerful, he once single-handedly killed a peak-level King from his own demon clan's royal family.

However, he, the 'Moon King,' was born into the Heavenly Wolf Royal Family and reached the pinnacle of the King-level realm. If he hadn't been without any powerful treasures, he would definitely be considered close to being invincible among King-level beings.

With such strength, he was not intimidated at all by the Netherworld King, whose divine body was only five meters tall and whose highest known kill record was only at the peak of the King level.

Lu Jin asked, "Do you have some valuable treasure on you?"

"So what if I have it? So what if I don't?"

Feeling as if he had been stabbed, the Moon King stubbornly retorted.

"You're obviously a poor wretch. Get lost. Your grandpa doesn't have time to accept challenges from poor wretches."

Seeing that the other party lacked confidence, Lu Jin mocked him without any politeness, and strode into the central fountain water curtain leading to the treasure land with an air of indifference.

"Damn it~, don't let me catch you!"

King Benyue was so angry that he gritted his teeth. If it weren't for the rule on Zijing Island that forbade fighting, he would have rushed up and bitten Lu Jin to death.

"You're going to a treasure trove? I'd like to see what treasures you, you little mule, can get your hands on."

With a cold snort, King Benyue followed him into the treasure trove.

The space shifted, and Lu Jin appeared on a mountaintop.

Looking around, what comes into view are thousands upon thousands of mountains, some steep and some strange, stretching as far as the eye can see.

Among these mountains are lakes of varying sizes, some emerald green like jade, others jet black like ink, ranging in diameter from tens of thousands of kilometers to over a million kilometers.

Looking into the distance, one can see figures with extraordinary presence on the mountain peaks, mountainsides, valleys, lakesides, lake surfaces, and even in the lake water.

There are countless types of life, including flesh-and-blood life, rock-like life, energy-based life, and plant-like life, and there are even some special life forms.

In addition, high above the treasure land, streaks of colorful aurora borealis streak across the sky.

Undoubtedly, the treasure trove remains within the area covered by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, and like Purple Thorn Island, fighting is also prohibited.

His gaze swept quickly across at least a thousand lakes and tens of thousands of mountain peaks before finally settling on 108 majestic peaks in the far distance, towering above the others.

In the land of treasures, apart from the treasures that have already been taken, every mountain peak and every lake contains at least one treasure of no less than a high-grade treasure.

The treasures contained within those 108 majestic peaks are no less valuable than priceless treasures.

Since the birth of the universe, the treasures of these 108 mountains have been taken by lucky individuals in 42 of them, leaving the treasures of 66 mountains still unclaimed.

Furthermore, the first three peaks are among the 66 mountains whose treasures were not taken.

Undoubtedly, the higher the ranking of a mountain, the more valuable its treasures are.

Of course, it is also possible that after the treasure was taken away, the powerful members of the Ancestral God Sect put the treasure back in.

At least ordinary lakes and mountains have been the sites where treasures have been discovered twice.

"Whoosh!"

Without much hesitation, Lu Jin transformed into a stream of dark blue light and flew towards the most majestic first mountain peak in the far distance.

"Huh? What kind of breed is this?"

"He must be new here; he looks unfamiliar."

"A mere newcomer dares to attempt to unlock the treasures of the first mountain peak?"

"Tch~, as if you didn't try your luck at the First Peak when you came to the Treasure Land."

"It seems to be the Netherworld King, who has recently gained some fame in the Seventh Domain Outer Battlefield?"

"Huh, you know him?"

"This Netherworld King is quite ruthless. It is said that no fewer than several thousand kings from the insect, demon, and mechanical races have died at his hands, including many at the peak of the kingship."

"You're just a peak-level King, acting like you've killed everyone before. Haven't you killed anyone?"

"No way! You're kidding, I'm at least at the limit of being a King."

From afar, Lu Jin flew towards the first mountain peak, and many inheritors along the way discussed it animatedly.

"Shh!"

Lu Jin's figure descended from the sky, waiting quietly on the summit of the first mountain for a moment, but failed to cause any disturbance.

According to the rules, as long as the inheritor is on a certain mountain peak, the treasure will be automatically opened if the conditions are met.

Since he failed to cause any disturbance, it means that he does not meet the conditions for opening the treasure of the first mountain peak.

'Tsk~, fine then.'

Lu Jin smacked his lips to himself.

The conditions for opening a treasure are set by the treasure placer. It's not enough for the inheritor to be good enough; they must meet all the conditions set by the treasure placer.

If a treasure has two opening conditions, and the inheritor only meets one condition, then no matter how strong they are, they still cannot open the treasure.

"Haha~, you short mule, you think you can get the treasure of the first mountain? Dream on!"

At this moment, a wolf shadow flew in from afar and mocked Lu Jin without any politeness.

It was not Bie Lang, but the Moon-Ben King who had been mocked by Lu Jin earlier.

Lu Jin glanced at the Moon King and said, "You lowly wolf demon, you do not bow to the king. Your true destiny is lost, and your name will be etched on the road to the underworld."

King of the Moon: "."

Damn it, I've been tricked by that King of the Underworld!

After making a sarcastic remark, Lu Jin ignored the other party and flew towards the second mountain peak, but in his heart, he marked this reckless wolf demon as someone who would surely die.

Before long, the second mountain peak also remained completely still.

Seeing that there was still no movement, the Moon King, who was following Lu Jin from a distance, naturally launched into another round of mockery.

Subsequently, Lu Jinyu landed on the third mountain peak, just as the Moon-Ben King was about to continue his mockery.
"Rumble--"

In an instant, the entire mountain trembled.

Immediately afterwards, the entire treasure land was in an uproar.

"Treasure."

"The treasure is about to be opened!"

"My God! This is the treasure of the third mountain!"

The inheritors who had been conversing or searching for treasure in the distance all took to the air and turned their gazes in this direction.

In an instant, the distant sky was filled with the figures of powerful beings from all races of the universe. "How is this possible?!"

The Moon King, who was following far behind Lu Jin, immediately widened his emerald green wolf eyes.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! I don't believe this is true. It must be another inheritor, yes, it must be another inheritor."

Looking at the dozen or so figures on the third mountain peak, King Benyue exclaimed in disbelief. He preferred to believe that the treasure was opened by other inheritors rather than by King Youming.

Keep in mind, this is the third of the 108 most precious peaks!

The treasure in the third peak is not only a supreme treasure, but it is certainly not as simple as an ordinary supreme treasure.

Considering that even the Moon King possessed the strength to reach the limit of being a king, yet he didn't even have a single ordinary treasure, he naturally didn't want to believe that the Underworld King could obtain a supreme treasure of considerable quality.

"Hahaha~, a treasure, a treasure!"

"It must have been me who started it! I just arrived, hahaha, I, the Thousand-Handed King, am indeed the chosen one!"

"Keep dreaming. I was the one who started it all. I just toppled a huge rock!"

On the third peak, all eleven inheritors except Lu Jin were extremely excited, because they were also on this mountain.

As for Lu Jin, who just arrived?
They completely ignored it. How could they possibly think that such a windfall was for someone else? It had to be them!
"Whoosh whoosh-"

As the third peak trembled, tens of thousands of auroras began to rotate in the colorful aurora lake above the treasure land, like a whirlpool.

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

The next moment, tens of thousands of auroras fell from the sky, each tens of thousands of kilometers long and in five colors, like countless colorful meteors falling directly.

In just a moment, these tens of thousands of colorful aurora lights completely enveloped the third mountain peak, surrounding it like a beaded curtain, a truly magnificent sight.

Gazing at this magnificent scenery, the countless inheritors of this treasure land who witnessed this moment were filled with envy for Kun'er, wishing they had him.

This is a treasure from the third peak!

Although they did not know what level of treasure the Third Peak possessed.

But one thing is certain: the treasures hidden in the third peak are worth far more than their individual fortunes.

"Mine, it's mine!"

"Get out! The treasure is mine!"

The falling tens of thousands of aurora borealis not only included Lu Jin and the other two inheritors on the mountaintop, but also the nine inheritors on the mountainside.

In their excitement, they were all convinced that the treasure had been opened because of them.

However, the next second, these eleven inheritors felt as if they had instantly fallen from heaven to hell.

An inexplicable force descended, and apart from Lu Jin, all eleven remaining inheritors were transferred out of the area enveloped by the aurora.

"No!"

"No!"

Having missed out on immense wealth, the eleven alien inheritors roared in frustration, their voices echoing throughout the treasure trove.

"Not the King of the Underworld, not the King of the Underworld"

In the air outside the third peak, King Benyue continued to pray.

Even if the treasure of the Third Peak is given to a dog, it cannot be obtained by the Netherworld King, whom he dislikes so much!

"Who exactly opened the treasure?"

"Could it be the Sludge King that has recently made a breakthrough?"

The inheritors, watching from a distance, discussed among themselves.

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

Suddenly, a whooshing sound rang out, and eleven alien inheritors, some enormous, some short, some covered in scales, some resembling lumps of mud, and some with extremely abstract appearances, were kicked out by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake.

"No!"

The next moment, a heart-wrenching cry of grief rang out.

However, the Moon King, who hadn't seen Lu Jin being kicked out, was so jealous that his face instantly twisted in anger.

The scene he least wanted to see actually happened!
"What's wrong with this King of the Moon? He wasn't supposed to get a share of the treasure, so why does he seem so grief-stricken, like his own father has died? Even if his own father died, he wouldn't be this heartbroken!"

"How would I know? Those beasts of the demon race love to cause trouble, maybe they've lost their minds?"

"Ugly monsters are always causing trouble~"

Lu Jin couldn't see what was happening outside, but he could roughly guess some of it.

If nothing unexpected happens, that bastard from the Sirius clan is now consumed by jealousy.

"I wonder what level of treasure it could be."

The mountain beneath his feet trembled continuously, and a smile involuntarily appeared on Lu Jin's face.

He was familiar with the treasure-opening mechanism of the Ancestral God Sect's treasure trove.

The aurora currently enveloping the entire mountain peak is for the purpose of maintaining secrecy.

It can be said that, apart from the treasure placer, the treasure opener, and the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, no one knows what kind of treasure was opened.

Of course, the approximate value of the treasure can still be estimated by those who have previously opened it.

Moreover, the treasures hidden among the 108 peaks are all of equal or greater value than the most precious treasures.

Even the most ordinary treasure is enough to arouse the envy of the vast majority of inheritors.

Soon, as the mountain trembled, Lu Jin saw a huge rock rise up in front of him.

The boulder, nearly a thousand meters high, slowly rose from the mountaintop and then hovered above it, leaving a dark hole in its wake, utterly silent.

A moment later, a silver ring slowly flew up from the dark hole and finally hovered in front of Lu Jin.

Upon receiving the silver ring, Lu Jin infused it with his mental energy and made it his own.

Because it was an unclaimed object, Lu Jin easily imprinted his mental mark on it, and then used his mental power to probe it.

Within the silver ring, there were eight items in a separate world.

These are eight giant triangular cones, each about 10,000 kilometers long, and each of them is a different color.

Gold, green, blue, red, yellow, cyan, purple, and white—eight colors, corresponding to eight subordinate laws and attributes.

Raising an eyebrow, Lu Jin channeled a wisp of his mental energy into the giant blue triangular cone.

Suddenly, a flood of information rushed into his mind, bringing a look of joy to Lu Jin's face.

For Lu Jin, the specific type of treasure he unlocked was not important; what mattered was the value of the treasure.

After all, the human race's treasure trove contains many ordinary but precious items.

As long as you have Treasure Points, what kind of treasure can't you exchange for, except for the extreme treasures or top-tier treasures of the Soul, Domain, and Palace categories which are severely out of stock?

The most precious treasures that are scarce in the human race's treasury would certainly not be given away for free by the powerful figures of the Ancestral God Sect in the treasure trove.

Perhaps the Ancestral God Sect doesn't care about ordinary treasures, but it certainly cares about treasures of higher grade.

Based on the feedback, Lu Jin learned the basic information about these eight treasures.

This is a set of eight psychic weapons, a treasure known as the 'Eight-Colored Divine Light Cone'.

A single colorful divine light cone can barely reach the level of a high-grade treasure, and its value is not much stronger than that of top-grade treasures of the domain, soul, and palace categories.

However, when the eight colored divine light cones are combined to form the 'Eight-Colored Divine Light Cone', the treasure's grade can reach the level of a top-tier treasure.

Although the Eight-Colored Divine Light Cone can only be considered an ordinary level among top-tier treasure weapons, it is still a top-tier treasure that even ordinary universe overlords cannot possess.

However, the conditions for using this top-tier psychic treasure are quite peculiar.

Because the eight components of the Eight-Colored Divine Light Cone all have different attributes, the treasure's power can only be fully unleashed when the corresponding lower-level law or the corresponding higher-level law is mastered.

It's like a controller who first enters immortality through the law of water, and then enters the realm of cosmic supreme beings through the law of space.

Because the laws of space are the higher laws corresponding to the five lower laws of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, the Venerable of space can normally use the five colored divine light cones of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

However, this Space Venerable failed to master the three lower laws of wind, lightning, and light, or the higher law of time. Although he was not completely unable to use the three colored divine light cones of wind, lightning, and light, his actual power was greatly reduced.

The Venerable One of Space is like this, and the Venerable One of Time is similar, or even less effective.

After all, there are at least five lower-level laws corresponding to the laws of space. The Space Venerable can use all five parts normally, but the Time Venerable can only use three parts normally.

A set consisting of eight parts, five of which are usable, is significantly different from a set where only three are usable.

In short, to properly use this top-tier psychic treasure, one must either master all eight lower-level laws or become a cosmic master who controls time and space.

Moreover, one must be a universe master who follows the path of time and space; even a universe master who follows only the path of beast god cannot use it all normally.

'Perhaps it's precisely because the treasure is so unusual and seemingly useless that it was placed in the treasure vault?'

Lu Jin thought to himself.

The treasure on the third mountain peak was either placed there by the three ancestral gods, or by the innate beast gods or the eight beast gods.

For them, ordinary top-tier telekinetic weapons and treasures cannot serve as their core treasures.

Given its rather unusual usage conditions, it's not surprising that it's placed in a treasure trove.

It's a top-tier treasure, after all. As a treasure from the third peak of the treasure land, it's not exactly shabby.

"call out!"

Just then, a rapidly shrinking aurora, carrying the force of solidifying space, shot towards us at breakneck speed.

Before Lu Jin could react, the aurora beam that shot towards him gently touched his forehead.

Suddenly, a gentle voice rang in Lu Jin's mind: "No less than a thousand times the life genes, and in terms of law comprehension, at the World Lord stage, one can comprehend the profound mystery of a superior law, or at the Immortal stage, one can comprehend all the profound mysteries of two superior laws."

If your life genes and understanding of the laws meet the requirements, you will definitely be a super genius in the universe, and this Eight-Colored Divine Light Cone will be given to you.

Little one, my name is Two-Faced, and the gates of the Ancestral God Cult are always open for you.
