Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 210 An Object to Be Messed With

"Mo Yun, release that bird."

Lu Jin said to Mo Yun.

The next moment, the swirling water around the Heavenly Rift Venerable calmed down, and the originally powerful binding force disappeared without a trace.

Immediately afterwards, a suction force emanated from the gates of the Frost Temple, drawing the weakened Skybreaker Venerable into the temple.

"Meet the master!"

Upon entering the hall, the Heavenly Rift Venerable's divine body rapidly shrank, shrinking to a size of only a few meters, and he bowed respectfully to Lu Jin.

What is your name?

Lu Jin asked.

Venerable Lietian respectfully replied, "Master, my name is Lietian."

"Sky Rift? Let's change the name."

Frowning, Lu Jin spoke directly.

You can split other things, but you absolutely cannot split the heavens, otherwise where would the Heavenly Court be placed?

Once the Heavenly Court is established, Lu Jin will not allow powerful beings with titles such as "Heaven Slayer," "Heaven Destroyer," and "Heaven Breaker" to continue to exist in the primordial universe.

You either obediently change your name, or become his soul slave before changing your name.

This is similar to how the name "Demon Slayer" bestowed upon the Blood God Child's incarnation greatly incites hatred among the demon race.

In other words, the demon race did not realize that the Blood God Child's incarnation was formed from the Netherworld Blood Sea clone, nor did they know where the Netherworld Blood Sea clone was. Otherwise, given the Demon King's personality, he would have been dead long ago.

Moreover, even knowing that the Demon King could not be killed, the demon race never reduced its pursuit of the Blood God's incarnation.

The Blood God Child incarnate on the battlefield outside the realm will inevitably be attacked by a demon king if he encounters an immortal from the demon race camp in a certain place and stays there for too long.

"Master, please give me a name!"

The Heavenly Venerable was immediately filled with fear, and hurriedly spread his wings wide, prostrated himself with his bird head on the ground, and shouted.

After looking you over, Lu Jin said, "Judging from the golden feathers covering your body, from now on we shall call you Golden Feather."

"Thank you Master for the name!"

The Venerable Golden Feather of Rending Heaven bowed again, deeply moved.

I am so honored that my master gave me a name!

"You should first enter my world ring, and we'll make further arrangements later."

With that, Lu Jin put the weakened Golden Feather Venerable into his world ring.

"Whoosh!"

In the boundless void of the Ancestral Mystic Realm, two powerful beast-like figures, their bodies transformed into streams of light, soared through the air.

A golden pheasant covered in golden scales, with a wolf's head and a single horn on its head.

On the other side was a strange beast that looked somewhat like a toad, its entire body seemingly covered in mud.

"Ba Kong, what do you think?"

Gazing at the vast expanse of azure waters stretching hundreds of millions of kilometers in the far distance, the mud-covered beast 'Swamp Erosion Venerable' asked the Fear Golden Hou.

The Tyrant Venerable shook his head and said, "It's hopeless. That plant-type Venerable possesses a domain treasure. Once we get trapped, we'll be like that frost, and even escaping will be a luxury."

Unless a cosmic overlord intervenes, or someone possesses a powerful treasure of their domain.

Whose treasures are hidden inside that palace?

As he spoke, a look of doubt appeared in the eyes of the Tyrant Venerable.

Realizing that he had no hope of escaping on his own, the Frost Venerable, while dealing with Mo Yun's attacks, also sent a message of appeal to the many Venerables in the demon race camp.

The two powerful figures who arrived first to provide assistance after receiving the plea for help were the Venerable Ba Kong, who came from the royal family of the demon race, the Venerable Zhu Shi, and the demon race's camp.

"No, Frost is doomed. Even the cosmic overlord can't save him."

After a moment's thought, Venerable Swamp Erosion shook his head and said with a determined look.

"Why?"

"The fearsome venerable one asked."

The Swamp Erosion Venerable said, "The palace contains extraordinary treasures, at least of the grade of top-level treasures, and their value is even higher than that of ordinary treasures. Most high-level Venerables cannot afford them."

Although Frost is greedy, she is not an idiot and would certainly not provoke a powerful person who can afford top-tier palace treasures without reason.

If nothing unexpected happens, this palace treasure belongs to the King of the Underworld, who is currently inside.

After all, top-tier palace treasures are rare, and the style of this palace treasure also matches the appearance of the palace treasure among the three treasures bestowed by the Thunder Beast God.

The Underworld King has joined the Ancestral God Cult. Such a super genius could never possibly perish in the Ancestral God Mystic Realm.

If the Underworld King doesn't die, then only Frost can die.

Even if a powerful overlord were to come, whether simply to rescue Frost or intending to steal the treasures from the Netherworld King, he would likely be instantly killed by the Universe Lord of the Ancestral God Sect.

The reason is simple: the Ancestral Mystic Realm is the territory of the Ancestral God Sect. Their own genius was intercepted and killed, and it was done by someone who bullied the weak. The Ancestral God Sect will definitely not let the murderer go.

It can only be said that the treasures on the Netherworld King's body are enough to make most powerful people lose their minds.

It was only when he saw the plant-type Venerable One possessing a domain treasure that he realized that taking action would be tantamount to death; otherwise, he would most likely have lost his composure.

"Sigh~, Frost has really messed up this time."

Upon hearing this, Venerable Tyrant was stunned for a moment, then sighed and teleported away.

As a good brother, he couldn't bear to watch the Frost Venerable perish.

To avoid feeling guilty, he had no choice but to go somewhere where he couldn't see what was happening.

Subsequently, the Swamp Erosion Venerable did not linger and also teleported away.

After the two left, it wasn't that no demons or cosmic venerables from the demon faction came to visit.

However, after seeing the situation on the battlefield, they all made the same choice as Venerable Tyrant and Venerable Swamp Erosion.

Treasures are indeed tempting, but no matter how alluring they are, no fool would dare to rob a powerful person.

Most of the sanity lost upon seeing the treasure will be restored in the face of certain death.

Moreover, considering that we are both demons or belong to the same demon camp, I might lend a hand to earn a favor, but if I myself am in danger of dying, then I'd rather not.

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

The great battle continues within the vast expanse of azure waters spanning hundreds of millions of kilometers.

As time went on, the divine power of both sides was constantly depleted, and Mo Yun lost more divine power than the Frost Venerable.

However, Mo Yun's divine body is enormous, with a radius of millions of kilometers. The proportion of damage to his divine body is far less than that of the Frost Venerable of the Sirius Clan, whose divine body is only ten kilometers long.

Finally, after losing 10% of his divine body and his strength began to decline, the Frost Venerable shouted, "Plant Venerable, I'll compensate you with a precious treasure, how about we call it quits?"

Not knowing the other party's name, the Frost Lord could only refer to him as 'plant'.

The Frost Venerable knew that this matter would not end well unless he paid a heavy price.

Mo Yun continued his offensive, but he did give them face by saying, "Ask the Underworld King."

Upon hearing this, the Frost Venerable immediately shouted, "Netherworld King, what do you think? I, Frost, will never cause you any trouble again."

Inside the Frost Temple, Lu Jin's eyes darted around, and he said, "One treasure isn't enough."

"Then how much do you want?"

"Today you've come to kill me and steal my treasure, not the other way around. You can't be too insincere."

"In this way, you will return all the treasures you possess to me, and our feud will be settled."

"Impossible! King of the Underworld, you are too greedy."

The Frost Lord was furious.

If I give you all the treasures I have, won't I become penniless?

"If you don't want to, that's fine. Anyway, after we kill you, the treasures on your body will be ours."

Lu Jin said, not caring much.

"you!"

The Frost Venerable was furious. After a while, he suppressed his anger and shouted again, "I will compensate you with a top-tier treasure."

Lu Jin said, "You have no room for negotiation."

After a few minutes of silence, the Frost Venerable, whose divine power was constantly being depleted, finally relented and said, "How can you guarantee your credibility?"

"Because I am the King of the Underworld! As long as you hand over all the treasures you possess, our grudges will be wiped clean."

Lu Jin said with righteous indignation.

"Plant Master, I also want your promise."

The Frost Venerable spoke to Mo Yun.

Mo Yun said, "What the King of the Underworld said is what I said."

As he spoke, in order to show his goodwill, Mo Yun stopped his attack, except for the restrictive power of the Azure Heaven Abyss Mirror.

Seeing this, the Frost Venerable gritted his teeth, took off his top-grade treasure armor, the Claw Set which was comparable to a top-grade treasure and consisted of four parts, and the top-grade treasure flying wings.

After breaking free of the bond, the Frost Venerable threw the three top-tier treasures into the surrounding azure water.

It wasn't that the Frost Venerable, who had lived for countless years, was easily fooled; rather, he had no choice but to believe.

The Frost Venerable knew that if things continued at this pace, he would inevitably perish; it was only a matter of time. At that time, the treasures on his body would still fall into the hands of the Underworld King.

If he chooses to believe, and if the King of the Underworld keeps his word, he can save his life and avoid the exorbitant cost of resurrection.

As a high-level cosmic venerable, his resurrection fee is not low; it would cost at least an ordinary treasure, more than his current net worth.

If the King of the Underworld lacks credibility, it's not really any different from not handing over the treasure.

One is certain to perish and lose the treasure.

He would choose the latter, even if it meant losing the treasure but potentially saving on resurrection fees.

"Whoosh whoosh-"

The azure water surged, propelling the three precious treasures swiftly to the Frost Temple, where they were then taken inside.

With the treasure in hand, Lu Jin nodded in satisfaction, then began to nitpick: "Frost Venerable, are you cursing me in your heart?"

Reputation?

Only Lu Jin possesses this item; even Lingxiao King and Youming King do not.

Moreover, "after entering the pass, great Confucian scholars will debate the classics for me." Once he has control over time and space, who would dare to say that he has no credibility?
Upon hearing this, the Frost Venerable's heart skipped a beat; a bad premonition arose. Was the Netherworld King about to turn hostile?
The Frost Venerable hurriedly denied it: "No, absolutely not."

"Humph~"

Lu Jin said with absolute certainty, "You're denying it so quickly, you must have cursed me. Animals are animals, they don't know how to be grateful at all! Beat them, beat them to death!"

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

Immediately, Mo Yun launched another attack, with countless crystalline vines sweeping over once more.

"Despicable! King of the Underworld, you have broken your promise!"

"Frost Venerable roared."

Lu Jin argued forcefully: "Nonsense! We have settled our scores just now, but the fact that you are cursing me in your heart is a new grudge."

"I didn't curse!"

“I am not deaf. I heard you call me despicable very clearly.”

"I was just testing you before, but I didn't expect it to reveal all. You demons really are like dogs that can't change their nature. Die!"

Frost Venerable: "."

Lord of the Nine Netherworlds: "."

Good, good, this new little fellow is not only exceptionally talented in cultivation, but also outstanding in other aspects.

Just as Lu Jin had suspected, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds had been keeping a close watch on things.

It was only because he saw that this little guy could handle things on his own that the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds had slapped the previous Heaven-Splitting Venerable and the current Frost Venerable to death.

The demon race's Universe Venerable dared to intercept and kill members of the Ancestral God Sect right under his nose, especially since they were geniuses from his own Nine Nether lineage. He was simply asking for trouble!

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

Within the azure waters, violent roars echoed continuously. The battle, which had been evenly matched before, had now turned into a one-sided crushing defeat.

Without the powerful wings, and bound by the azure waters, the Frost Venerable's speed plummeted.

Without the powerful Claw Set, his arcane attacks were barely a scratch to Mo Yun.

Furthermore, without the top-tier treasure armor that could reduce physical attacks to one-thousandth of their original strength, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the Frost Venerable was now incredibly fragile.

Under Mo Yun's relentless attacks, the Frost Venerable's divine body was rapidly damaged.

"King of the Underworld, you just wait!"

The Frost Venerable roared and uttered a harsh threat, after which his divine body emanated a terrifying aura that sent chills down one's spine.

"boom--"

A terrifying surge of energy erupted, and countless streams of azure water churned violently. Knowing he was doomed, the Frost Venerable self-destructed his divine body to avoid becoming a soul slave.

Although the resurrection fee is expensive, it's still better than becoming a slave to a soul.

After all, the former will eventually be able to work and pay off their debts, but the latter will be like cattle and horses forever, and the kind that are never given any fodder.

Lu Jin, inside the Frost Temple, curled his lip. It was just empty threats, as if anyone could say anything. If he had the guts, he should come at him.

If they can kill you once, they can kill you a second time. And if you meet again, it won't just be a simple demise.

With the war over, Lu Jin put away the Frost Temple and Mo Yun, teleported back to Zijing Island, and at the same time teleported the Golden Feather Venerable in the World Ring back to the Great Luo Heaven.

Since Venerable Golden Feather has become his soul servant, he will bestow upon him the same things that other demon servants have.

It comes from a ten-fold bloodline source crystal from a peak-blooded starry sky behemoth, a hundred-fold divine body amplification, and top-tier treasure armor and weapons.

As for anything else, that's all.

Although both are cosmic venerables, Lu Jin values ​​more those human cosmic venerables who voluntarily become his soul servants and are then cultivated through higher-level divine laws.

All the human race's venerable ones are future heavenly generals of the Heavenly Court, and he is training them all to be cosmic overlords.

As for the alien servants, ten times the gene strength, a hundred times the amplitude, plus suitable top-tier offensive and defensive treasures would be enough.

Unless their life genes are already very high, high-level cosmic venerables are the upper limit of the strength of alien servants, and there is no possibility of them becoming cosmic overlords.

Meanwhile, within the world of Glory, chaos had erupted.

The newly promoted Venerable of the Demon Clan, Lie Tian, ​​coveted a supreme treasure and attempted to kill the Netherworld King. Unexpectedly, the Netherworld King was aided by a special plant-like life form at the Venerable level. Later, the high-ranking Venerable of the Demon Clan, Bing Shuang, joined the battle. In the end, the news that Venerable Lie Tian and Venerable Bing Shuang had both perished shocked hundreds of millions of inheritors of the Ancestral God Sect.

Immediately, countless inheritors listed the Underworld King as an object to be avoided.

The Underworld King is a member of the Ancestral God Cult with a powerful background. He has also killed two Universe Venerables, one of whom was a High-level Universe Venerable. With such a record, who would dare to provoke him except for a very few Universe Overlords?

three days later.

The Purple Rainbow Kingdom, inside the Palace of Time.

“Master, our Nether Sea clone has expanded to a diameter of 10 billion kilometers.”

Hong'er said to Lu Jin.

"very good!"

Lu Jin nodded and led Hong'er and the other six out of the Time Palace, entering the Great Luo Heaven through the South Heavenly Gate standing in the sky of the Divine Kingdom.

Three days outside, but eight years have passed inside the Thousandfold Time Palace.

After refining the ginseng fruit and obtaining the original core, the diameter limit of the inner world of Hong'er and her seven companions, which was originally tens of billions of kilometers, was directly increased to a diameter limit of trillions of kilometers.

With an unlimited supply of Immortal-grade Life Source Crystals, expanding one's inner world is an extremely simple matter.

Once the diameter of the inner world expands to the limit of trillions of kilometers, Hong'er and the others can nurture Netherworld clones with 300 times the life genes, unlike Luo Feng in the original work who took hundreds of years, it only takes a few years.

After all, the efficiency of creating clones is closely related to the strength of the inner world.

However, when Luo Feng was nurturing his Netherworld clone, his inner world was far smaller than this.

After the birth of the Youhai clone with 300 times the genes, it spent nearly a year cultivating the 'Innate Dao Body Chapter' of the 'Innate Dao Body', achieving a hundredfold divine body amplitude.

There's no need to practice the 'Innate Dao Soul Chapter' anymore. The clone and the main body share the same soul. Hong'er and the other seven main bodies had already mastered it. The moment the clone was born in the Nether Sea, they already possessed a hundredfold soul amplitude.

Due to their enormous size, the seven beings' Netherworld clones each refined ten thousand Beast God Crystals to obtain the ultimate level of Blood Luo Power.

To be honest, with a million Blood Crystals in hand, Lu Jin initially thought he wouldn't have to worry anymore, but now that he looks at it, it really isn't that much.

Zi Ni Chang's divine body was relatively small, so she used 100 Beast God Crystals.

The Time Dragon's avatar was quite large, requiring 1000 Beast God Crystals.

The seven members of Hong'er's group also possessed 1000 Beast God Crystals, totaling 7000.

The seven Nether Sea Divide are enormous, each nearly 10000 kilometers tall, and each contains 10,000 Beast God Crystals, totaling 70000.

Since leaving the Blood Luo World, Lu Jin has used a total of 78100 Beast God Crystals.

To refine a Beast God Crystal using the Demon Refining Pot, 10 Blood Crystals are required.

In other words, Lu Jin has used more than 780,000 of the original million Blood Crystals, and now only more than 200,000 remain.

Of course, if they were all used by humans, they could create more than two hundred geniuses with the ultimate Bloodlust power.

Possessing the ultimate power of Bloodlust, the next step is to enhance the life genes of the Nether Sea clone itself.

Due to the diminishing effect of the gene amplification effect of Blood Luo Power, even with the addition of the ultimate Blood Luo Power, a 300-fold increase in life genes is still far from achieving perfect genes.

Each of the seven Netherworld clones consumed 540 top-grade peaches, totaling 3780 top-grade peaches, and all achieved an 840-fold increase in life gene value.

With a foundation of 840 times the life gene, and further amplified by the gene amplification of the ultimate blood power, the seven Nether Sea clones finally achieved a perfect gene of 10081 times.

After achieving perfect genes, the Nether Sea splits into its own form and becomes the sea.

Then, relying on the innate secret technique 'Creation' and an unlimited supply of immortal-grade life crystals, he continuously expanded the size of his Nether Sea clone until today, when it finally reached the upper limit of a diameter of 10 billion kilometers.

Inside the Lingxiao Palace of the Great Luo Heaven, on the nine-colored throne.

With a wave of his hand, Lu Jin manifested seven superior law godheads—four spatial and three temporal—and placed them in front of Hong'er and the other six. He said, "You all enter your inner worlds to refine the superior law godheads. Hong'er, take me to your inner world."

"Yes, Master."

The seven responded, and Hong'er led Lu Jin into her inner world.

"Shh!"

Within the vast inner world, spanning trillions of kilometers in diameter, Hong'er and Lu Jin appeared out of thin air.

"Master, I'm starting the refining process."

Hong'er said to Lu Jin.

Nodding, Lu Jin flew out of the blood-red ocean below and stood in the distance, observing the scene.

Subsequently, Hong'er released the effects of the "Thousand Transformations" secret technique, and her human female body quickly transformed into the alluring body of a queen over 90,000 kilometers tall.

With the infusion of the world's power, the superior spatial law divine core in his palm, which appeared to be the size of a speck of dust, emitted mysterious spatial fluctuations.

Gradually, Hong'er, who originally had a high level of knowledge of spatial laws but had not yet fully comprehended the mysteries of space, also began to experience strong spatial fluctuations.

And over time, this spatial fluctuation became increasingly intense.

Time passed, and several hours later.

"boom--"

The oppressive force of the fundamental laws of the universe descended, and a colossal, multicolored vortex with a diameter of hundreds of billions of kilometers appeared, enveloping the entire sky above the Nether Sea.

The five fundamental laws of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are perfectly in harmony. At the core of the vortex, there is nothingness, filled with the boundless aura of the fundamental laws of space.

"Whoosh whoosh-"

As if the sky were collapsing, endless spatial divine power and seawater poured wildly down from the void at the core of the five-colored vortex, flowing into the dark sea below.

"It truly is magnificent!"

Gazing at the colorful vortex with a diameter of hundreds of billions of kilometers in the far distance, Lu Jin couldn't help but sigh.

It should be noted that when an ordinary human immortal enters the realm of Space Venerable, the five-colored vortex that appears is only a few hundred kilometers in diameter.

Even for Zi Ni Chang, who possesses perfect genes, the five-colored vortex that descended upon her when she stepped into the realm of the Cosmic Venerable was only a few hundred thousand kilometers in diameter.

Compared to the current colossal, multicolored vortex with a diameter of hundreds of billions of kilometers, it is simply incomparable.

A moment later, seeing that the huge multicolored vortex above had not disappeared, Lu Jin, who was watching from a distance, couldn't help but smile.

When an immortal enters the realm of the Cosmic Venerable, the five-colored spatial vortex or the three-colored time vortex that appears is extremely short-lived.

The origin of the universe does not provide an unlimited supply of time or space divine power to the immortal deities who have entered the realm of cosmic venerables, thus completing the transformation from immortal divine bodies to venerable divine bodies.

However, since this colossal five-colored vortex did not disappear, it is obvious that Hong'er, who directly stepped from the Realm Lord level to the Universe Venerable level with the higher-level Law Godhood, is a special case.

Just as a realm lord enters immortality, the origin of the universe will provide her with unlimited spatial divine power, allowing her to completely transform from a realm lord's body to a venerable divine body.
