Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 206 The Beast God Bestows a Treasure, Lord of the Nine Netherworlds

'Wow—'

The hundreds of millions of inheritors watching the spectacle below were immediately thrown into an uproar, their faces filled with shock, envy, and even jealousy.

Good news. Uh... no good news.

As expected, the Beast God descended precisely to publicly bestow treasures.

The bad news is that the recipients of the gift weren't themselves.

Even worse news is that the recipient of the treasure is the Netherworld King, who recently opened the third peak of the treasure land and obtained at least one high-level treasure.

Damn it, some are dying of drought while others are drowning in floods!

"Thank you, Beast God!"

Lu Jin bowed respectfully.

"Youming, you must continue your efforts and not slacken."

The Thunder Beast God's voice boomed, and at the same time, three huge orbs of lightning appeared out of thin air in front of him.

The three lightning orbs, each tens of thousands of kilometers in diameter, fell toward Lu Jin like lightning meteors.

And as it fell, the pervasive lightning gradually began to dissipate.

When it landed in front of Lu Jin, the pervasive lightning had completely disappeared, leaving only three treasures, each several hundred to several thousand kilometers in size.

A round mirror, entirely ice-blue in color, with an incredibly smooth surface.

A blue ice bead covered with dense blue-gold patterns.

An ice crystal palace exuding a chilling aura, its entire structure is a crystalline white, like crystal. The palace walls are covered with numerous snowflake patterns composed of countless secret runes.

The Thunder Beast God smiled and said, "I believe they will be of great use to you, so accept them."

Three treasures. Considering that the Underworld King is a being with perfect genetic genes, he will give him one treasure no matter what.

After all, in the universe, it is theoretically impossible for a world lord-level life form with perfect genes to exist.

This must be a special favor and special preference from the primordial will. Those of us who are its subordinates will definitely take special care of the life favored by the primordial will.

Joining the Ancestral God Cult will grant you the second treasure, because from now on you will truly be one of our own.

Furthermore, if one performs exceptionally well in the world of glory after joining the cult, a third treasure will be awarded.

Performing exceptionally well in the world of Glory demonstrates remarkable comprehension.

A perfectly genetically engineered life form with exceptional comprehension, possessing an unparalleled mastery over time and space.

With over 130,000 battles and fewer than 100 defeats, the performance of the Underworld King can no longer be described as outstanding.

Keep in mind, this little guy is only a Realm Lord!

Similarly, the Thunder Beast God knew that it was only because this little guy was still very weak that the Ancestral God would have bestowed upon him an even more precious treasure.

It's no exaggeration to say that the three Ancestral Gods didn't even consider treasures below the level of peak supreme treasures.

"Thank you, Beast God!"

Lu Jin respectfully agreed and then stored the three treasures into his World Ring.

"Youming, do not disappoint me, do not disappoint the ancestral gods."

After saying that, with a loud "boom," thunder shook the heavens and earth, and the enormous figure of the Thunder Beast God disappeared.

The invisible pressure that had previously enveloped the entire Purple Thorn Island also vanished in an instant.

"Youming, congratulations."

The Insect King flew in and congratulated him with a smile.

He couldn't discern the specific grades of the three treasures bestowed by the Thunder Beast God.

But since it was the Beast God himself who came, the treasures he bestowed were at least top-tier treasures of the domain, soul, and palace categories, all of which were more valuable than ordinary treasures and not much different from ordinary high-level treasures.

In addition, the Insect King also noticed something.

In the eyes of the higher-ups in the sect, Youming's talent was definitely superior to their own.

After all, he only obtained two treasures of the supreme level, while Youming had three.

Of course, the Insect King wasn't jealous at all.

Because the Ancestral God Sect truly has no shortage of treasures of relatively low quality, the sect's higher-ups will not reduce their training and rewards for him just because he has become a super genius.

Lu Jin said politely, "Hey~, when I first came here, I heard that you had received a treasure bestowed by the Beast God, which made me very envious. Fortunately, I have one now too, otherwise I would definitely eat you out of house and home."

"Haha~, I don't believe you can eat me out of house and home."

King Zhuchong laughed heartily, then his smile faded, and he looked around at the countless inheritors who were looking this way, and warned sternly: "Listen up, Youming is my good brother, King Zhuchong."

"If you dare to act on your despicable thoughts, don't blame me for being ruthless in your extermination!"

Hundreds of millions of inheritors: "."

Lu Jin: "."

No, if you say that, how am I supposed to go fishing?

Fortunately, treasures are tempting, and greed knows no bounds.

A greedy person will never be able to stop their greed because of warnings from others.

Moreover, if the enemy doesn't come, he can leave on his own; it's just a matter of whether it's necessary.

Upon returning to the palace, Lu Jin's figure vanished from the hall, leaving behind only a world ring.

Inside the World Ring, on the boundless grassland.

After examining the three enormous treasures in mid-air ahead, Lu Jin's gaze fell upon the Ice Crystal Palace.

With a thought, a surge of world power shot out and entered the ice crystal palace, beginning its recognition of its master.

"Ok?"

Noticing that the process of recognizing the master was rather slow, Lu Jin raised an eyebrow.

Slow to recognize God? That's good!
The slower the process of recognizing a treasure as its owner, the higher its quality.

If nothing unexpected happens, this treasure in the Ice Crystal Palace is not just a top-tier palace treasure, but a supreme palace treasure!

If the palace treasures can reach the level of supreme treasure, then the mirror and the bead are supreme treasures of the domain and soul respectively.
While acknowledging the master, Lu Jin simultaneously logged into the virtual universe to check information about the Ancestral Mystic Realm.

Time passed, and more than ten days later.

The enormous ice mirror that had been floating in mid-air in front of Lu Jin quickly shrank to the size of a palm and fell into Lu Jin's hand.

At the same time, like a flood bursting its banks, a surge of information flooded into Lu Jin's mind.

"They are indeed all priceless treasures!"

After processing the feedback, Lu Jin was secretly pleased.

As expected, the three treasures bestowed by the Thunder Beast God were all of the ordinary supreme treasure level, and even the best quality among ordinary supreme treasures.

The Frost Temple, a supreme palace treasure; the Ice Soul Pearl, a supreme soul treasure; and the Extreme Frost Mirror, a supreme domain treasure, are all supreme treasures combining the laws of water and space.

Although they are only ordinary treasures in terms of grade, the value of each of these three treasures is not much different from that of ordinary top-grade treasures.

Even if it were given to the overlords of the universe, it would still be enough to become their core treasure.

At least Lu Jin did not believe that his teacher, the Heavenly Frost King, possessed any high-level treasures of the domain, soul, or palace types.

For example, the most valuable treasure on the body of the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf of the Demon Clan is the Heavenly Wolf Palace, a supreme treasure of the highest grade palace.

Although the Lord of Sirius is not considered a strongman among the Lords of the Universe, he is still a Lord of the Universe. The most valuable treasures he possesses are only one level higher in grade than those possessed by a Realm Lord.

Without hesitation, Lu Jin released the Biluo Tianyuan Pearl, Biluo Tianyuan Mirror, and Biluo Tianyuan Cliff from their mastery and replaced them with the Extreme Ice Frost Mirror, Ice Soul Pearl, and Ice Frost Temple.

These three treasures were obtained for free from the Ancestral God Sect. Unless he wanted to reveal his identity, they could not be used by the main body and could only be used by the Water Qilin clone.

The next moment, a surge of world power flowed into his abdomen, transforming into an extremely cold mirror marked with ice crystal snowflakes.

'boom! ’

In an instant, boundless icy blue light burst forth, and from the center of the water unicorn clone, a chilling aura spread in all directions, instantly enveloping an area of ​​tens of millions of kilometers.

Within this enormous spherical region with a radius of tens of millions of kilometers, countless palm-sized ice crystals and snowflakes danced in the air, as if the entire world had been transformed into an extreme ice world.

Lu Jin could sense that every snowflake in this vast domain could instantly freeze an immortal god.

"Congeal!"

Raising its claws and pointing forward, countless ice crystals and snowflakes gathered in an instant, and an extremely cold tornado swept in, unleashing terrifying power.

'It can also be used as a basic attack item.'

Lu Jin thought to himself.

With the bestowal of treasures complete and the treasures refined and equipped, Lu Jin moved his mind, causing faint spatial fluctuations to ripple as he instantly teleported out of the mansion and palace.

"Shh!"

On the plaza in front of the palace of the island lord of Zijing Island, the figure of the Water Kirin clone suddenly appeared, and then stepped into the fountain water curtain on the right, entering the secret realm.

The mysterious realm of ancestors is vast and endless.

In the void, there is a beautiful fountain that continuously sprays water, forming a water curtain.

Suddenly, a magnificent blue auspicious beast emerged from the water curtain; it was Lu Jin's Water Qilin clone.

The next moment, the Azure Heaven Armor appeared, with two pairs of blue-gold wings unfurling on its back.

As the second pair of wing runes were activated, Lu Jincui used spatial teleportation to avoid some dangerous areas within the Ancestral Mystic Realm and continued to teleport towards the Nine Nether Space-Time.

The natural forms in the Ancestral Mystic Realm are bizarre and varied, including irregular celestial bodies, landmasses suspended in the void, huge lakes, islands, rolling mountains, waterfalls in the mountains, and so on.

These natural forms mostly look beautiful and magical, but some of them also contain deadly dangers.

Take the 'Nine-Colored Waterfall of the Cold Whale' for example; the water of the waterfall can appear in nine different colors when viewed from different angles.

Not only is it beautiful to look at, but it is also an extremely precious material.

But as beautiful as it is, it is also a deadly thing. Even a powerful being like the Universe Venerable would be instantly frozen if he were to be drenched by the Nine-Colored Water of the Frost Whale, causing his life imprint to collapse and ultimately leading to his death.

Besides the deadly Nine-Colored Water of the Frost Whale, a terrifying and special life form called the 'Frost Whale' also lives in the icy pool formed by the waterfall's impact. Only the Lord of the Universe can contend with it.

Not to mention the terrifying power of the 'Frost Whale', just accidentally getting a little bit of the Frost Whale's Nine-Colored Water on the Water Qilin clone would be completely destroyed.

Therefore, although Lu Jin used teleportation to travel, he was very careful to avoid all dangerous areas.

Unavoidable? Not at all!

The second pair of Azure Sky Wings can greatly enhance the effects of the three profound mysteries of space.

Although his maximum teleportation distance is not comparable to the thousands of light-years of a Cosmic Venerable due to his incomplete mastery of the laws of space, it is also far greater than the one light-year of an ordinary peak-level King. He can teleport hundreds of light-years away in one go.

Two hours later, in the void of the Nine Netherworld, accompanied by barely perceptible spatial fluctuations, the figure of the Water Qilin clone teleported in.

In the eyes of ordinary inheritors, the Nine Netherworld is an extremely vast and dangerous ocean-type land, with thousands of islands scattered above the ocean. It is a place of great danger, but also a place of great potential for exploration and treasure hunting.

But Lu Jin knew that the so-called Nine Nether Spacetime was the area where the Nine Nether Lord's colossal divine body, with a diameter of 12 light-years, resided.

The endless ocean that comes into view is the divine body of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.

To put it bluntly, urinating into this endless ocean is tantamount to urinating on the Lord of the Netherworld.

"Shh!"

He teleported again, and Lu Jin's figure appeared on the surface of the endless ocean below.

Then, Lu Jin faced the endless ocean in front of him, respectfully clasped his hands in a salute, and said, "Greetings to the great Lord of the Nine Netherworlds."

Bowing to the endless ocean, where there is nothing but seawater, may seem a bit silly on the surface, but Lu Jin knew that the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds could definitely hear his voice.

Hearing a life calling to him, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds turned his gaze towards him.

'Huh? Is that the little guy?'

Upon seeing the Water Qilin clone, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds was somewhat surprised.

Recently, a new member joined the peripheral organization of the Ancestral God Cult and was granted three supreme treasures by the Thunder Beast God. He had heard about this before.

next moment.

"boom--"

A great aura descended, and the power of space and time permeated the area, creating another space and time around it. A huge face appeared in the air in front of Lu Jin, looking down at Lu Jin below.

"Little fellow, your name is Youming, right? What brings you here?"

A wisp of consciousness manifested, and the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.

If it were an ordinary member of the outer circle of the sect calling him, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds would be too lazy to pay attention.

Just kidding, he's the ruler of the universe, not some nobody can attract his attention.

But the King of the Underworld before us is different.

Upon joining the cult, the Thunder Beast God bestowed upon him three supreme treasures, which were of the domain, soul, and palace types, respectively.

This bestowal of treasure is far more powerful than the previous gift from the King of Insects.

The Insect King is a special life form with a divine body spanning over 60,000 kilometers and a life gene count as high as 5,000 times.

Judging solely from the power of the treasure bestowed by the Thunder Beast God, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds can conclude that the Netherworld King's talent far surpasses that of the Insect-Chasing King.

"Great Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, I have come to present treasures."

As he spoke, Lu Jin pulled out a deep blue cliff that had shrunk to a height of more than ten meters. It was none other than the top-tier palace treasure, the Azure Heaven Abyss Cliff.

Lu Jin's purpose in coming to the Nine Netherworld Space-Time was to obtain the Netherworld Sea Water, which is at the Realm Lord level.

However, the Nine Nether Seas, which are at the realm lord level, are all located within the Nine Nether World, and the Lord of the Nine Nether World controls every move within it.

To obtain the Nether Sea Water of the Realm Lord level, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds is an absolute hurdle that cannot be bypassed.

The Kunlun Mirror traversed space, snatched the item with lightning speed, and then escaped through space again.

This method is theoretically feasible.

After all, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds doesn't keep an eye on the World Lord-level 'Blood Sea' every moment, and even if he discovers a life stealing water from the World Lord-level Netherworld Sea, he might not immediately take action to kill it.

But this was a last resort, and Lu Jin also thought of a better strategy: to obtain the water from the Nether Sea.

Under the guise of offering a treasure, they approached the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, then "sold" themselves in exchange for Netherworld Sea water of the Realm Lord level.

In the original novel, Luo Feng was caught by the Lord of the Nine Netherworld when he stole the Netherworld Sea Water, which was at the level of a World Lord.

If it were anyone else, they would have turned to ashes.

However, Luo Feng was not punished in the end. He was only nominally placed under the command of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds and then acquired the Netherworld Sea Water of the Realm Lord level. After Luo Feng left, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds was as happy as a child.

This shows that the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds highly values ​​super geniuses.

Currently, his conditions in all aspects are no worse than Luo Feng's in the original work, and he even has perfect genes. With such a super genius being delivered to his door, it is unlikely that the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds will refuse him.

If I make a small request, I'll ask for some Netherworld Sea water at the Realm Lord level. The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds certainly won't be stingy with it.

'Offering treasure?'

The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds paused, looking at the Azure Heaven Abyss Cliff that was suspended in front of Lu Jin.

No, you're offering the most precious palace treasures to the Lord of the Universe?
What use is this thing to me?
Of course, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds wasn't stupid either. He knew that this little guy probably wanted something from him, so he immediately said, "Little guy, you can keep the treasure for yourself. Just tell me what you need."

Are you kidding me? How could the sovereign of the universe accept a top-tier palace treasure offered by a mere little fellow?

If he accepts it, and word gets out, won't he be laughed to death by his colleagues?

'I knew you wouldn't want it!'

Lu Jin thought to himself, then his eyes filled with admiration as he said respectfully, “Great Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, your divine power is boundless. You are my most admired idol. I have come to join your ranks.”

Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds was overjoyed.

When the exceptionally talented Insect King joined the Ancestral God Cult, he competed with several colleagues for the position, but the Insect King was ultimately snatched away by the Lord of Beacon Heaven, which he secretly regretted for a long time.

Unexpectedly, a super genius has come knocking on our door today.

Although he hadn't looked into it in detail, he didn't yet know the specifics of the little guy in front of him.

But one thing is certain: his talent is stronger than that of the Insect King, otherwise the Thunder Beast God wouldn't have been so generous.

"Little fellow, I must admit you have a good eye."

The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds praised him and then announced, "Youming, the Protector of the Faith, from this moment on, you are the Protector of the Faith of my Nine Netherworld lineage."

If a genius from one's own school, whose path to enlightenment has not yet been chosen, comes knocking on one's door, there is absolutely no reason to turn them away.

"Greetings, Divine Lord!"

Lu Jin bowed respectfully.

"Hmm, little guy, tell me about your situation."

Nodding in satisfaction, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds said.

First ask about the specifics, then bestow treasures based on talent and strength.

After all, he was a super genius who voluntarily joined his ranks, so it wouldn't be right not to give him a small gift.

Has the Thunder Beast God already bestowed a treasure upon us?
That was given by the Thunder Beast God, or rather, the Ancestral God, not by the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.

The value of a gift is one thing; whether or not it is given is another.

Otherwise, if word got out, he, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, would be labeled a miser.

The surrounding spacetime was already under the control of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, and the higher-ups of the Ancestral God Sect, who had thoroughly investigated the matter, were also aware of his situation. There was nothing about the Water Kirin clone's conditions that he couldn't disclose, so Lu Jin said, "Reporting to the Divine Lord, I am a World Lord-level perfect genetic life form, and my understanding of the fused laws is at a certain level."

"Perfect genes at the World Lord level?"

Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds couldn't help but interrupt.

How could a perfect genetic life form at the level of a World Lord exist in the primordial universe?
And you're not an immortal, but a realm lord?

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin dispelled the disguise of his life level and body size using his False Form Divine Power.

This also proves that even the universe's master of time and space cannot see through the disguise of the fake form supernatural power!

At least without careful examination, the Lord of the Universe cannot see through it.

The moment the disguise was removed, the water unicorn clone, which was originally only five meters tall, rapidly expanded.

In the blink of an eye, a colossal figure over 90,000 kilometers long appeared in the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds' sight.

Gazing at the figure of the Water Kirin clone, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds fell silent.

Although it was hard to believe, the facts were undeniable, leaving the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds no choice but to accept them.

No wonder the Thunder Beast God bestowed far more treasures upon the Underworld King than upon the Insect-Chasing King.

The conditions for the Insect King are indeed very strong, and extremely rare in the entire universe.

But compared to this little guy in front of me, he's really lacking.

Perfect genes are one aspect, but so is hierarchy.

The Netherworld King, a Realm Lord-level being, was able to slaughter hundreds of thousands of inheritors in the Glory World with very few defeats, and his name was ranked at the top of the third-level leaderboard, demonstrating his extraordinary comprehension.

Although this ranking is based on wins and losses in the Glory world, it cannot accurately reflect the true strength of the inheritors.

However, the Netherworld King's strength in the Glory World is indeed enough to rank him among the top of the more than 90 million third-level inheritors.

Glancing at the set of treasures Lu Jin was wearing, including armor, wings, and four claws, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds asked, "Little fellow, what are your wishes now that you've joined my ranks?"

At this moment, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds couldn't help but feel a bit troubled.

With his discerning eye, he could tell that Lu Jin's top-tier treasure set was comparable to ordinary treasures, and even surpassed them in effectiveness, encompassing armor, weapons, and flight wings.

In addition, the Thunder Beast God had previously bestowed upon him domain-type, soul-type, and palace-type treasures, so this little guy is not lacking in treasures at this stage.

His level is only World Lord. Even if he has perfect genes, his strength is not that great. There is no need to bestow too high-level treasures upon him.

After all, for beings whose strength is below the level of a Universe Venerable, or even those who have just entered the level of a Universe Venerable, there is no difference between high-level treasures and ordinary treasures.

"My Lord, I wish to obtain the Nether Sea Water, which is at the World Lord level."

After shrinking his size back to five meters tall and disguising his aura as that of an immortal, Lu Jin revealed his purpose.

Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds finally understood why Lu Jin had come to his doorstep today.

So you little guy have a secret technique for creating clones?
Not bad, you have good taste! You know the power of the Nine Nether Seas, which are at the Immortal level and above.

However, a single serving of Netherworld Sea Water at the Realm Lord level doesn't feel quite presentable!

The creation of a clone is not a matter of possession, and since this little guy is not an outsider, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds does not mind that members of the Ancestral God Sect who possess the secret technique of creating clones are creating clones in the Netherworld Sea.

If this were to be used as a gift, it would undoubtedly seem meager and somewhat unworthy of the Nine Netherworld lineage's divine master.
