Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 213 The Treasure of the Sixth Peak, Lord of the Dawn
"King of Insects, don't meddle in other people's business!"

Venerable Lan Cang shouted in a deep voice.

The Insect King looked directly at Venerable Lan Cang and said, "As fellow special beings, why do you say I'm meddling in other people's business?"

King Zhuchong already disliked the demon race, and after hearing that a demon race cosmic venerable had intercepted and killed his newly acquainted good friend 'Netherworld King', his hatred for the demon race intensified.

Seeing that a demon race cosmic venerable was bullying a special life form at the realm lord level by relying on his strength, he, as a special life form himself, naturally would not sit idly by.

"You ant, you better pray you don't run into me!"

With a cold glance at Lu Jin, Venerable Lan Cang uttered a harsh word before transforming into a streak of light and disappearing into the void.

The resurrection fee was too expensive, and he was also carrying treasures, so the price he would have to pay for acting impulsively was huge. Otherwise, Venerable Lan Cang really intended to kill Lu Jin.

Seeing this, the Insect King curled his lip, then turned to look at Lu Jin and said, "Guangyin, be careful in the future. This demon clan's Venerable Lan Cang is very petty. Once you leave the protection of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, he is very likely to come and kill you."

"Thank you for the reminder, but it's alright. Although I'm no match for him, my older brother can definitely take him down."

Lu Jin waved his paw dismissively.

The so-called "elder brother" is naturally the Water Kirin clone.

'Your older brother?'

Upon hearing this, the Insect King immediately understood.

He knew it! Where did a mere realm lord get the audacity to confront a universe venerable? Turns out he has a powerful backer!

"In any case, you should be careful. I am also a special life form. You can come find me in the Glory World when you have time."

After shaking his head slightly and reminding Lu Jin of something, the Insect King transformed into a streak of light and departed.

Lu Jin looked around and said to the onlookers, "There's no more excitement to watch. Everyone go home and find your mothers. Let's disperse."

The inheritors: "."

Then, Lu Jin descended from the sky and landed on the summit of the first peak.

After a moment, when no further movement was heard, Lu Jin shook his head with slight disappointment and flew towards the second peak in the distance.

The treasure on the first peak must be the most precious, what a pity.

The second peak remained unchanged.

The third peak. The treasure here was taken by the Water Kirin's clone, so we'll skip it.

The fourth. The fifth.
When the Dragon of Time's clone landed on the sixth mountain peak.

"Rumble--"

As a roar resounded, the entire Sixth Peak trembled.

At this moment, the entire Treasure Land was in an uproar. The sixth peak among the 108 peaks instantly became the focus of attention for a large number of inheritors in the Treasure Land.

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

A large number of inheritors transformed into streaks of light and soared through the sky to witness the opening of the 44th supreme treasure in the treasure land.

In an instant, the sky surrounding the third peak was filled with the figures of inheritors from all races of the universe.

"Whoosh whoosh-"

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

As the sixth peak trembled, a vast array of colorful auroras, some tens of thousands of kilometers long, fell from the multicolored aurora lake above the treasure land and then enveloped the entire sixth peak.

The next moment, apart from Lu Jin at the mountain peak, the more than twenty alien inheritors on the sixth peak were directly transferred out of the area enveloped by the colorful aurora by an inexplicable force.

"Damn! It really is that special life form of the Realm Lord."

"To be able to unlock the treasure of the sixth peak so soon after arriving, and to be a realm lord at that, the genetic level of this special life form must be quite high!"

"The powerful figures of the Ancestral God Sect are too biased towards special life forms. The Netherworld King who opened the treasure of the third peak was a special life form, and the one who is opening the treasure of the sixth peak is also a special life form."

"Where did this idiot come from? The strong members of the Ancestral God Sect are mostly special life forms. If they don't favor special life forms, why would they favor a fool like you?"

Seeing that all the inheritors on the sixth peak had been kicked out, leaving only the newly arrived World Lord-level special life form 'Guangyin', the inheritors who had come to watch the drama unfolded and began to discuss among themselves.

The sixth peak, the summit.

'The treasures of the Sixth Peak, even if they can't compare to those of the Third Peak, must at least be high-grade treasures, right?'

The mountain beneath his feet trembled continuously, Lu Jin thought to himself.

The value of high-level treasures varies considerably. For example, a high-level treasure weapon can cost as little as 10 treasure points, or even just a few. However, it's not uncommon for an expensive one to be worth nearly 100 treasure points.

However, since the treasure of the third peak is a top-tier treasure, even if the sixth peak is downgraded to only a high-level treasure, it should still be a high-level treasure of considerable value, rather than a low-value one.

Soon, as the mountain trembled, a huge rock rose up in front of them.

The boulder, about nine hundred meters high, slowly floated above the mountain peak. Then, a world ring flew out from the black hole below and landed in front of Lu Jin.

Upon receiving the World Ring, Lu Jin infused it with his mental power to establish ownership and began to probe its contents.

Inside the world ring, there was a palace hundreds of kilometers high, its entire structure a white-gold color, with countless reliefs on its walls.

But all these countless reliefs depict the figure of a six-winged bird, only the specific poses differ.

As he channeled his mental energy into the Platinum Palace, a flood of information rushed into Lu Jin's mind.

The 'Dawn Temple,' a supreme treasure among ordinary palaces, is quite a good find.

After digesting the information, Lu Jin thought to himself.

Even a top-grade ordinary palace treasure, if measured in treasure points, is worth almost as much as a hundred.

Compared to a single Lighttime Beast God Inheritance Token, this is an absolute steal.

Moreover, this treasure is somewhat special. Inside the Temple of Dawn, a treasure within an ordinary palace, Lu Jin also sensed a platinum ring covered with mysterious patterns.

"call out!"

Just then, another aurora fell from the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, then quickly shrank and touched Lu Jin's forehead.

Suddenly, a gentle female voice rang in Lu Jin's mind: "Little guy, being able to open the treasure I left behind means that you are not only a special life form of the Light and Time Fusion Law at the World Lord level, but your life gene is also no less than three thousand times stronger."

My name is Lord of Dawn. Ever since the fall of the Beast God of Heaven, I knew that the demise of us Beast Gods was inevitable.

Little one, the Temple of Dawn is a treasure I crafted in my early years, containing a legacy I left behind.

If you cultivate this inheritance, you will become a disciple of me, the Lord of Dawn.

I have a sworn brother named Jiuyou. Although he is only a top-tier universe overlord, his divine body is extremely large and he is in the Ancestral Mystic Realm, so he should not perish.

If you encounter any difficulties, you can seek his help.

Of course, if you do not wish to cultivate this inheritance, you can entrust it to Jiuyou, who will give you a treasure no less valuable than that of the Dawn Temple.

It is clear that when the Lord of Dawn placed the treasure, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds had not yet become the Lord of the Universe.

'A born beast god of light, lord of the dawn?'

Lu Jin raised an eyebrow slightly. This treasure on the Sixth Peak seems to be quite extraordinary!

Lu Jin heard that this Temple of Dawn was crafted by the Lord of Dawn himself, and it was from his 'early years'.

Since it's said to be from earlier years, then the skill of refining treasures must have reached a higher level.

As everyone knows, highly skilled treasure-level refiners are all incredibly wealthy.

"boom!"

At that moment, a roar was heard, and the giant rock that had been floating above the mountain peak fell down, restoring the Sixth Peak to its original appearance.

Meanwhile, the colorful aurora surrounding the entire sixth peak also shot into the sky and quickly flew back into the colorful aurora lake above.

Having obtained the treasure, Lu Jin didn't linger; he transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the void.

"How envious! First it was the Underworld King, and now it's 'Time'. When will it be my turn, Qianyu?!"

"Wake up! The treasures of the 108 peaks in the Treasure Land, if not all of them, at least most of them are inaccessible to ordinary life."

"The betting has begun! The demon clan's Venerable Lan Cang has a grudge against the Realm Lord 'Time,' and they're betting on who will live and who will die, based on an entire era."

The treasure-hunting area remained bustling, not calming down even after Lu Jin, the treasure's owner, left.

On the other side, in the Nine Netherworld.

In the endless ocean, a gaze traversed time and space, landing on the Time Dragon's avatar as it rushed toward the teleportation portal.

After silently gazing for a while, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds looked towards a certain direction in the primordial universe. His gaze seemed to see a figure with a golden eye between his brows, wearing a magnificent golden robe, and whose body was as if cast from crystal.

"Tianjing."

The whispers, accompanied by intense hatred and terrifying, chilling killing intent, instantly enveloped the entire Nine Netherworld.

At this moment, all the inheritors who were searching for treasures and exploring within the Nine Netherworld were trembling under this chilling killing intent.

Inside the Crystal Palace on Bauhinia Island.

Upon returning to the mansion and palace, Lu Jin flipped his hand, and a platinum ring materialized.

This platinum ring is the one inside the Temple of Dawn. According to the message left by the Lord of Dawn, it contains the legacy she left behind.

A wisp of spiritual power was injected, and the recognition of the master was quickly completed.

Using his mental power to probe inside, Lu Jin discovered nine items inside the platinum ring.

A platinum-colored metal book, approximately ten meters long, five meters wide, and three meters thick.

Perhaps because he was a master of treasure refining, this metal book was actually refined into an ordinary supreme treasure, radiating the pressure of a supreme treasure.

On the cover of this platinum metal book were four large characters: 'Dawn's Secret Codex'. These four characters were not written in the common language of the human universe, but Lu Jin could understand their meaning at a glance.

The other eight are eight statues of birds and beasts, each about a kilometer tall, in a white-gold color, and somewhat resembling the phoenix from mythology.

The statue has three eyes, with the one between its brows being particularly bright, as if it could see through everything.

It has three claws on its belly, and each claw has four toes, arranged in a three-in-front-one-out-back configuration.

It has six wings on its back, and its whole body is covered with platinum feathers, as well as mysterious white patterns that extend from the crest on its head to the twelve long and gorgeous tail feathers behind it.

Whether flapping wings, swooping down, slashing with sharp claws, or looking down proudly at the world, there is joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. Each statue gives Lu Jin a different feeling.

Even the patterns on the feathers covering the statues show considerable differences.

'Secret Technique of Light and Time Fusion, Statue of the Beast God of Light'

Looking at the "Dawn Codex" and the eight white-gold statues of birds and beasts, Lu Jin thought to himself.

The mental energy was injected into the "Dawn Codex," which had been refined into a supreme treasure, and it went surprisingly smoothly, completing the recognition of its master almost instantly.

Then, Lu Jin opened the manual.

Upon opening the cover, the first page prominently displays the three large characters "First Layer".

"Whoosh whoosh-"

The huge metal pages were incredibly flexible, and Lu Jin quickly flipped through them, reading ten lines at a glance, as he reviewed the various secret techniques recorded on them.

Although he had not previously devoted any attention to the Law of Light and Time Fusion, it was clearly impossible for him to be completely ignorant of the First Level of the Light and Time Beast God Path.

After all, the Time Dragon's clone is a special life form with perfect genes and the laws of light and time fusion.

In the past, when I was trying to comprehend the laws of light and time, I automatically grasped some of the basics of the Light-Time Beast God Path.

Furthermore, since the Water-Sky Beast God Path has already reached the third level of perfection, Lu Jin can see that the various secret techniques recorded on it are all derived from the first level of the Light-Time Fusion Law, only their specific forms of manifestation are different.

After flipping through dozens of pages, a line of large characters appeared on the metal page.

— [By using the "Dawn Codex" to perform any Light-Time Fusion Secret Technique, and achieving the first level of perfection in the Light-Time Fusion Law, you can view the content of the second level.]

'Could there be something good later?'

Lu Jin raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself.

In the universe, secret techniques are worthless.

Take, for example, "Time and Space Essays," which has a clearly stated price: 100 billion Virtual Universe Company points. An immortal member within the Virtual Universe Company can buy the complete book for 100 billion Chaos Units.

Since the Beast God was destined to perish, his strength was clearly not at the level of a sixth-order Universe Lord. At most, he was only at the fifth-order level, or even possibly only at the fourth-order level.

But let alone a secret technique created by a fifth-order universe master, even the 'Digital Axe Technique' of the giant axe wouldn't fetch the price of an ordinary treasure.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Lord of Dawn should have stuffed some valuable items far exceeding the value of an ordinary treasure into the "Dawn Codex," which has been refined into an ordinary supreme treasure.

I specifically got a safe; surely the contents inside can't be less valuable than the safe itself, right?
It's important to know that this legacy was prepared by a powerful figure for his future disciples when he sensed that he was about to pass it on.

A mere ordinary palace treasure, a secret technique, and eight beast god statues are hardly worthy of the work of a treasure-level refiner.

'It seems I still need to work on this fusion of Light and Time with the Beast God's Path?'

Lu Jin glanced at the eight statues of the God of Light, each with a different posture, in the distance and thought to himself.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Jin did not immediately begin cultivating the various fusion techniques recorded in the "Dawn Secret Manual." Instead, he put all eight beast god statues into his external storage space, then left the world ring and headed to the island lord's palace square to enter the inheritance land.

Every newcomer can receive a free opportunity to inherit the legacy at the Land of Heritage.

Furthermore, for each level of perfection, one can obtain a free opportunity to inherit the legacy.

With the help of inheritance, the difficulty of cultivating the first level of fusion secret technique will be lower, and it will be easier to comprehend the first level of light-time fusion law.

At the same time, inside the Palace of Time, a Blood God Child incarnation appeared beside the original body.

After handing the original core and Kunlun Mirror to the Blood God's incarnation, Lu Jin's true form entered the inner world of his body.

The next moment, the original body in the inner world took out the Beast God statue and began to copy and carve it, just like when he first began to comprehend the law of water and space fusion.

Meanwhile, the Blood God Child's avatar within the Time Palace channeled the power of the world into the Kunlun Mirror, locating the Kunlun Token carried by the Time Dragon's clone and activating a remote detection mode, with the detection perspective continuously extending towards the Light Beast Temple within the Eight Directions Beast God Temple.

The inheritance from the Land of Inheritance, the copying of the Beast God statue, and the comparison with the current Beast God of Light's true form for comprehension, coupled with being in the realm master stage during the best period for comprehending the laws, the speed of comprehending the Light-Time Fusion Law is absolutely skyrocketing.
