Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 209 The Demon Clan Venerable's Interception (Part 2)

Of course, it's just that this weakling Venerable of the Golden Falcon Clan isn't very strong.

Moreover, Mo Yun also told him that although this weakling Venerable had a treasured armor, it was just an ordinary treasure.

Although it is indestructible, its attack exceeds the defensive limit of ordinary heavy armor, so it makes little difference whether the opponent has this heavy armor or not.

Otherwise, Lu Jin, who is known for his lack of martial ethics, would definitely have made the other party hand over their valuable treasures first, and then regretted it and killed them.

Don't you have any shame?

The one who's shameless is the Underworld King, what does that have to do with me, Lu Jin?
The one-sided onslaught continued; the Heavenly Rift Venerable couldn't even scratch Mo Yun's divine body.

A hundredfold gene means a hundredfold reserve of divine power, a divine body that radiates for millions of kilometers, and a top-tier treasure that combines offense and defense to weaken material attacks to one-thousandth. For Mo Yun, the attack of the Heavenly Rift Venerable is not even a scratch.

However, Mo Yun's attack on the Heavenly Venerable could cause a great deal of damage, even though Mo Yun's secret technique was still a step away from the peak level.

15% 20% 25% 30%
Soon, after losing more than 30% of his divine body, the aura emanating from the Rift Heaven Venerable weakened significantly compared to the beginning.

"You scraggly bird, I think you should just self-destruct instead of wasting your time."

Lu Jin, who was promoted to 'Commander of the Springs', complained.

The Heavenly Venerable did not reply. While desperately resisting the attack of the Cloud-Piercing Demon, he secretly prayed that the demon venerables in the Glory World who received his plea for help would arrive before he perished.

As for finding one's own teacher?

He was just saying it offhand, just trying to scare young people.

If a teacher truly possessed the strength of a cosmic overlord, why would he be a poor wretch?
Meanwhile, tens of thousands of light-years away from the battlefield, on an island suspended in the void, a dazzling, hazy blue light emanated.

The next moment, two figures appeared on the island.

A snow wolf, ten kilometers long, with a terrifying aura.

A much weaker, about one meter tall, thin, hunched over, and covered in black scales, was a snail monkey.

"That's all for you~"

After confirming the location, Snow White Wolf said something to the Magic Snail Monkey and then teleported away.

'The Frost Venerable's hasty actions suggest he's most likely up to some treasure-hunting scheme. I wonder who this unlucky fellow is.'

Gazing in the direction the Snow White Wolf had gone, the Magic Snail Monkey thought to itself.

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

A violent roar resounded through the void. The Heavenly Venerable, who had been ravaged by Mo Yun, was now only a fraction of his former glory, having lost more than 50% of his divine body.

But just then, Mo Yun's voice rang in Lu Jin's mind: 'Master, a Celestial Venerable of the Demon Wolf Clan is approaching.'

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin quickly communicated telepathically and asked, "Approximately how many times stronger is the life gene?"

Aside from the factor of life genes, all the divine bodies of the cosmic sages are of the same strength.

Unless one engages in a real battle, the only way to judge the strength of a Cosmic Venerable before the war begins is to deduce the life gene multiplier from the strength of the aura emanating from the opponent, thereby roughly determining the range of the opponent's strength.

Generally speaking, the higher the multiple of life genes a cosmic being has, the stronger they will be.

Because resources that can increase the gene pool of life are very expensive, the weak generally do not have the financial means to do so.

Mo Yun said, "Around 30 to 40 times."

Lu Jin's heart immediately calmed down.

With only thirty to forty times the life genes, he is most likely a high-level cosmic venerable, rather than a cosmic overlord.

Since we're not the cosmic overlord, it doesn't matter.

Thirty to forty times the life genes, a divine body amplitude that is far from the hundred-fold limit, the comprehension of the sixth level of the Beast God Path, and the peak secret technique that is standard for a Universe Venerable, generally there are no supreme treasures.
The High-Level Universe Venerable possessed a higher level of understanding of laws (two levels higher) and a higher level of secret techniques (one level higher), but was lower in life genes and amplitude secret techniques by about one level in total, making him only about a hundred times stronger than Mo Yun.

With a mere hundredfold difference, Mo Yun, with his enormous divine body that radiates outwards across a radius of a million kilometers, was more than capable of grinding down a high-ranking Venerable of the Sirius Clan whose divine body was only ten kilometers in size.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Jin conjured up an ice palace that shrank to tens of kilometers high, its entire structure a crystal-clear, ice-white color, resembling a crystal.

"Shh!"

Lu Jin flashed into the Frost God Palace, a treasure of the palace.

The stronger one was the Cloud Vine, not himself, who was at the Realm Lord level. To be on the safe side, Lu Jin went directly into the Frost Temple.

With the Frost Temple protecting him, unless there is a supreme treasure of the sealing type, let alone a high-level universe venerable, even a top universe overlord would be helpless against him.

Immediately afterward, Lu Jin communicated with Mo Yun through his consciousness: 'Mo Yun, next, give him a surprise when he arrives.'

After saying that, Lu Jin had a thought, and in the endless ice world outside the Frost Temple, a bright blue round mirror with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers appeared out of thin air. It was the top-level domain treasure, the Azure Heaven Abyss Mirror, which had been eliminated by the Water Kirin clone.

At the same time, a divine power belonging to Mo Yun shot out and entered the Azure Heaven Abyss Mirror.

In an instant, Mo Yun completed the recognition of the Azure Heaven Abyss Mirror as its master. Then, the mirror rapidly shrank, transforming into a stream of azure light that entered Mo Yun Vine's massive divine body.

Although the Azure Heaven Abyss Mirror is a top-tier treasure of the water element, because the fundamental law of space is a superior law of the fundamental law of water, it is also suitable for space lords who possess any lower-level law attributes.

Now that a high-level cosmic venerable from the demon race has delivered himself to our doorstep, we can't let him get away.

Mo Yun's strength is inferior to his opponent's, so he may not be able to hold him back completely, but with the addition of top-tier domain treasures, it will definitely be no problem.

"Whoosh!"

Soon, a white streak of light streaked across the void, enveloping the frozen world spanning tens of millions of kilometers, where a terrifying wolf appeared.

"Hmph! A priceless treasure is covered in dust."

Gazing at the distant, icy world where countless ice crystals and snowflakes danced, the Frost Venerable of the Sky Wolf Clan snorted coldly and plunged headfirst into the icy world.

It's just immortality, so what if it has domain-type treasures?

As a high-level cosmic venerable, the Frost Venerable did not believe he needed to be wary of the domain formed by the domain-type treasure activated by the Underworld King.

To be honest, with Lu Jin's current strength, the Extreme Ice Frost Mirror he activated really couldn't restrain a high-level universe venerable.

It's not that the treasure is weak, but rather that the difference in strength between the two sides is too great.

"Frost Venerable, please lend a helping hand!"

Upon noticing the arrival of the powerful demon race member and recognizing his identity, Venerable Lietian hurriedly shouted.

'A plant-based special life form at the level of a Cosmic Venerable? Hmph~, Cosmic Venerables from ordinary groups are indeed trash!'

Looking at the Rift Heaven Venerable being ravaged by Mo Yun, the Frost Venerable muttered to himself.

Fortunately, this special plant-like life form doesn't seem to be very strong; even the newly promoted Sky-Splitting Venerable was able to hold out for a long time.

Perhaps due to the immense size of his divine body, he was helpless against his opponent, but he was not exactly outmatched. Immediately, the Frost Venerable, defying the limitations of the extreme ice world, swiftly flew forward.

Despite his disdain, as fellow demons, he still had to save this Heavenly Rift Venerable.

The speed of the High Universe Venerable was very fast. The Extreme Ice World did not have much impact on the speed of the Frost Venerable. Almost instantly, the Frost Venerable arrived at the center of the battlefield.

"Whoosh whoosh-"

Just as they were about to intervene, the next moment, boundless azure light burst forth, enveloping an area of ​​hundreds of millions of kilometers, and a vast ocean filled with endless azure waters descended, replacing the polar ice world.

"what?!"

Endless streams of azure water instantly filled the entire world, and a powerful binding force enveloped him, greatly restricting his movements. The Frost Venerable, feeling as if he were trapped in a quagmire, was terrified.

Another domain treasure! And it's at least a top-tier domain treasure!
'run! ’

Immediately, the Frost Lord chose a 'strategic retreat' without hesitation.

Completely different from the extreme ice world filled with countless ice crystals and snowflakes that the Underworld King had previously activated, this boundless azure water flow was a domain activated by this Venerable-level plant-like special life form. The restrictive effects of the two were worlds apart.

Although his opponent was much weaker than him, his divine body was enormous and he had the aid of a domain treasure. If they really fought to the death, he was afraid he would lose his life here.

In the Frost Venerable's view, one should act decisively when it is time to act, and also choose to retreat decisively when it is time to retreat.

Strength isn't what truly matters; the ability to survive is what makes a true powerhouse.

Seeing that the opponent was about to escape, Mo Yun was immediately displeased. He activated the Azure Heaven Abyss Mirror with all his might to restrict the opponent's movements, while the dense, crystal-clear vines swept over the opponent like a nimble giant python.

If I could let you escape with this top-tier treasure, it wouldn't be a top-tier treasure.

As for Venerable Liejin, whose divine body was more than half destroyed?
The loss of more than half of the divine body means that one-tenth of the strength is gone. This weakling Venerable can finish the job with the power of the Azure Heaven Abyss Mirror alone.

Besides its binding power in creating a domain, the Azure Heaven Abyss Mirror's offensive capabilities are no less than those of ordinary top-tier offensive treasures.

"Whoosh whoosh-"

With a thought from Mo Yun, the azure water surrounding Venerable Lie Tian transformed into a massive vortex.

"呲呲呲——"

The swirling water currents spun rapidly, carrying countless sharp water blades that began to slicing through the divine body of the Heavenly Rift Venerable.

Instantly, under the terrifying binding power of the Azure Heaven Abyss Mirror, he was unable to move and could only watch helplessly as countless water blades approached him. The divine power remaining in his body once again plummeted like a flood.

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

The fierce battle between Moyun and the Frost Venerable has begun.

At this moment, the Frost Venerable had already burned his divine power, his four hooves flashed with cold light, a blue glow appeared on his snow-white fur, and a pair of ice-white wings were planted on his back.

Undoubtedly, in addition to his offensive and defensive treasures, this cosmic venerable, who was born into the demon race's Heavenly Wolf royal family, also possessed a powerful flying wing treasure.

Fortunately, its grade doesn't seem high, and with the Azure Heaven Abyss Mirror binding it, the initiative in the battle isn't in the hands of the Frost Venerable.

However, the battle between the two sides is destined to be a protracted war.

Both sides possess top-tier magical armor, and attacks below the level of a cosmic overlord cannot reach the defensive limits of such armor.

In this way, the effect of reducing physical attacks to one-thousandth, which is common in top-tier heavy armor, will be effective without any reduction.

'It's basically stable.'

Lu Jin thought to himself.

Unless one possesses a domain-type or palace-type treasure, or has an enormous divine body, no high-level or lower-level cosmic venerable can defeat Mo Yun, who possesses the Azure Heaven Abyss Mirror and top-tier offensive and defensive treasures.

At this moment, the Frost Venerable is fighting Mo Yun to a standstill, but this is only temporary.

The divine body is not only a health bar, but also a mana bar. Whether burning divine power or activating secret techniques, it requires consuming one's own divine power.

Moreover, the costs of these two attacks are even higher than the damage caused by the Moyun attack.

But if you don't burn your divine power and activate the secret technique, wouldn't that be no different from waiting to die?

As time goes by, the Frost Venerable, who is trapped within the domain and unable to escape, will eventually reach a point where his divine power is completely exhausted.

Subsequently, Lu Jin controlled the Frost Temple, moving swiftly through the azure waters, and arrived not far from the Rift Heaven Venerable who was being strangled by the water blade vortex.

This scruffy bird was a weakling venerable one, and a penniless bastard who absolutely couldn't afford a soul treasure.

With his divine body severely damaged and his strength reduced to less than a hundred percent, he's now roughly equivalent to a King at the limit of his power, possessing only ordinary offensive and defensive treasures. This is the perfect time to strike with dirty tricks.

'Exorcise the spirits!'

Lu Jin silently shouted in his heart, activating his divine power to exorcise spirits, and streams of light converged.

'Whoosh! '

The next moment, a talisman radiating light and exuding a mysterious aura transformed into golden light and shot out from the Frost Temple, instantly disappearing into the divine body of the Heavenly Rift Venerable not far away.

Even a novice cosmic venerable at his peak, with his current strength, would likely be unable to handle the exorcism of most spirits.

However, the possibility of successfully enslaving a novice universe venerable whose strength is only a fraction of what it used to be is still quite high.

To Lu Jin, a weakling servant was dispensable.

But he felt genuinely pleased that the demon race could completely lose a Universe Venerable.

After all, Cosmic Venerables are not commonplace. Looking at the entire demon race, this novice Cosmic Venerable from the Golden Falcon Clan should rank in the top 10,000 in terms of strength.

As the exorcising talisman entered his body, the Heavenly Rift Venerable in the vortex of water blades felt a surge of soul power invading his body, rapidly corrupting his soul.

The thought of 'soul enslavement secret technique' immediately popped into the mind of the Sky-Splitting Venerable.

Whether to become a soul slave or to self-destruct one's divine body, these two choices are not even worth considering.

Anyway, as a supreme being of the universe, he can definitely be resurrected by a great being among the demon race through time reversal.

However, as a poor Venerable with a weak background and empty pockets, Venerable Rift Heaven, who was about to self-destruct, couldn't help but think of the exorbitant resurrection fee.

Huh? Why do I have to pay a resurrection fee? What's wrong with me being a servant to my master?

The master is exceptionally talented and has a bright future; not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can become his soul's servant.

It is my honor to be a soul servant to my master!
With just a moment's hesitation, the Heavenly Venerable, whose strength had been reduced to a hundred percent and whose soul was being rapidly corrupted by the exorcising talisman, had his consciousness distorted and affected, and subsequently became Lu Jin's soul slave.

It has to be said that although he already has quite a few Universe Venerables under his command, this is the first time that Lu Jin has taken an original Universe Venerable as his soul servant.
