Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 214 Myriad Transformations Dawn Pearl

The Ancestral God Cult, the land of its lineage, lies within the black mist that permeates the void.

"First level!"

A mighty voice resounded in Lu Jin's mind, and the Time Dragon clone was trapped in a strange inheritance illusion.

Within the illusion, all the mysteries of the first layer of light-time fusion law were being meticulously and comprehensively displayed to Lu Jin, much like a powerful expert imparting their skills.

At this moment, apart from the Time Dragon's clone trapped in the illusion of inheritance, there was nothing else.

Lu Jin's main body, Water Qilin clone, Netherworld Blood Sea clone, and ten thousand Blood God Child incarnations all focused on comprehending the Light Beast God within the Beast God statue and the Light Beast God Temple spacetime, immersing themselves completely in the comprehension of the Light-Time Fusion Law.

Among them, the Water Qilin clone, the main body, the Netherworld Blood Sea clone, and 9079 Blood God Child incarnations who returned from the Ancestral God Sect are in the Time Palace under a thousand-fold time acceleration.

The remaining thousand Blood God Child incarnations are in the outer battlefield, one Blood God Child incarnation disguises himself as the original and stays in the Chaos City of the Initial Universe, and one Blood God Child incarnation is in the Great Luo Heaven.

He had already thoroughly understood the lower-level law of light, and had also gained recognition for the higher-level law of time, and had entered the stage of comprehending the profound mysteries of the higher level.

With numerous favorable cultivation conditions, coupled with the existing foundation of the two laws, and the initial fusion of the Law of Light and the Law of Time, there was no bottleneck for Lu Jin whatsoever.

After an unknown amount of time, just as Lu Jin, who was trapped in the illusion of inheritance, felt that he had made more than halfway through comprehending the first layer of the Light Time Fusion Law.

The mysterious power of the Land of Inheritance receded, the illusion vanished, and then an irresistible force of repulsion appeared, kicking the Time Dragon's clone out of the black mist.

'Unfortunately, I didn't get to enjoy the second level for free.'

Lu Jin thought to himself with a sense of regret.

There are two ways to obtain the opportunity to inherit in the Land of Inheritance: one is to fuse with the laws to reach a certain level of perfection, and the other is to spend 100 Glory Points to exchange for it once.

He has Glory Points, and a lot of them, but those Glory Points belong to the Water Kirin clone and cannot be directly transferred to the Time Dragon clone.

The Water Kirin clone is the third level of inheritor, while the Time Dragon clone is the first level of inheritor. The two cannot engage in a duel in the battle world of Glory.

Unless one finds the first level of inheritor and spends money to buy glory points, given the current level of skill of the Time Dragon clone in the Light-Time Fusion Secret Technique, there is no possibility of immediately obtaining another chance to inherit.

Not to mention that the opponent may not necessarily accept the challenge.

Of course, with the overwhelming affinity of the fusion law, plus the help of a large number of Blood God Child avatars in a state of a thousand times time acceleration, it is still quite simple to comprehend the first level.

After bowing and bidding farewell to Venerable Jiufeng, who was sitting cross-legged on the meteorite, Lu Jin left the place of inheritance and returned to his mansion and palace on Zijing Island.

Back at the Crystal Palace, once the doors were closed, Lu Jin took out the "Dawn Codex" and began to peruse it, taking advantage of the continued support from the inheritance.

The Dawn Codex contains many secret techniques, similar to the Seven Transformations of Water and Sky by the Heavenly Frost King, which also includes secret techniques for controllers and illusionists.

However, perhaps because the Lord of Dawn is a born beast god, martial artists can better unleash their strength, these secret techniques are mostly martial artist secret techniques, and are predominantly claw techniques and wing techniques.

In addition, the Dawn Codex contains five core secret techniques.

"Beast God of Light", "Soul of Light", "Claw of Dawn", "Wings of Dawn", "Soul of Dawn".

"The Beast God of Light" is a secret technique for amplifying the divine body, while "The Divine Soul of Light" is a secret technique for amplifying the soul.

Because only the first layer of content can be seen, both amplitude secret techniques are incomplete, only twice the amount.

These two amplitude techniques are enlightenment-based amplitude techniques. Cultivation requires no resources. As long as one's understanding of the Light-Time Fusion Law reaches the first level of perfection, one can easily cultivate twice the divine body amplitude and twice the soul amplitude.

However, Lu Jin ignored it. He had already mastered the dual-limit hundredfold amplitude and didn't need this thing.

"Dawn Claw" is a secret attack technique for claw-type martial artists, while "Dawn Wings" is a secret wing technique that combines attack and movement skills.

"The Soul of Dawn" is a soul technique that combines both attack and defense.

According to the classification of ordinary, top-level, peak, and ultimate, these three secret techniques are all at the top-level level.

Without much hesitation, Lu Jin arranged the cultivation tasks.

All secret techniques involving the soul or spiritual power are cultivated by the Time Dragon's clone, as well as the main body and the Netherworld Blood Sea clone within the Time Palace.

The secret techniques for martial arts practitioners are all cultivated by numerous incarnations of the Blood God.

Moreover, in order to better adapt to the cultivation of the Light and Time Fusion Secret Technique, apart from the Netherworld Blood Sea clone being unable to move, the main body and many Blood God Child incarnations in the Time Palace all transformed into three-legged, six-winged, naturally born light beast gods in false divine forms.

At the heart of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake lies the Hall of the Bloodfire God General.

"The first level?"

Looking at the level of understanding of the light-time fusion law of the Time Dragon, a special life form with eight thousand times the genetic diversity, collected by the control system, Bloodfire God General couldn't help but frown.

Sure enough, this little guy was a special life form that had just been born. Before coming to the Ancestral God Cult, he had absolutely no foundation in the laws of fusion.

'Seriously, has this kid never been exposed to the virtual world before? Why doesn't he even go to the Glory world?'

Bloodfire God felt a bit of a headache.

A special life form with eight thousand times the genetic potential is naturally worthy of the Ancestral God Cult's vigorous efforts to win over.

In the future, at the very least, one can become a top-tier cosmic overlord; going even further, becoming a master among cosmic rulers is not impossible.

However, if this little guy doesn't go to the Glory World, the initiation process can't proceed.

The Ancestral God Sect has a clear process for recruiting geniuses.

Discover geniuses, determine their talents and strengths, and then, within the world of glory, send invitations to the inheritors solely as divine generals.

After the other party explicitly agrees, he will then go in person to formally invite them.

If the inheritor has sufficient talent and strength, he will directly bestow upon them a treasure of lower value than a supreme treasure.

If the successor possesses exceptional talent and strength, the Beast God will descend upon them upon their entry into the sect, personally bestowing upon them a treasure of no less value than a supreme artifact, thus showcasing the prestige of the Ancestral God Sect.

This little guy has eight thousand times the life gene potential; regardless of his comprehension and strength, he's worthy of being bestowed a supreme treasure by the Beast God.

If we were to formally invite them offline directly, skipping the formalities, and the other party had no intention of joining the Ancestral God Cult, wouldn't that make the Beast God's trip a waste?
Eight days later.

On Purple Thorn Island, the Time Dragon avatar, coiled within the palace of the mansion, opened its dazzling platinum eyes, and the fluctuations of the Light-Time Fusion Law emanating from its body gradually calmed down.

'Excellent, the first level is complete.'

Lu Jin thought to himself.

Thanks to favorable conditions in all aspects, coupled with the help of inheritance.

Before his comprehension speed returned to normal after receiving the inheritance, Lu Jin had already comprehended the first level of the Light-Time Fusion Law.

In addition to the "Beast God of Light" and the "Soul of Light", Lu Jin also mastered all the fusion laws and secret techniques of the first level of the "Dawn Codex" by taking advantage of the thousand-fold acceleration of the Time Palace.

Now, within the Origin Pearl of the Time Dragon's clone, the secret artifact guarding the soul is no longer the phantom of the Water Beast God, but the phantom of the Three-Legged, Six-Winged Light Beast God.

Then, Lu Jin's figure flashed and disappeared into the Crystal Palace.

"Shh!"

Within the World Ring, the Time Dragon's avatar stood suspended in the air.

A flash of platinum light, and the enormous "Dawn Codex" materialized.

The next moment, Lu Jin's mind shifted, and as the power of the world surged, he activated the Light and Time Fusion Secret Technique, unleashing the Dawn Codex, which shone with a rich platinum radiance.

As the Law of Light and Time Fusion was activated, the "Dawn Codex," which was originally just a huge metal book, transformed into a magnificent mountain radiating intense platinum light, crashing down onto the earth of the World Ring below.

However, before the towering mountain could crash down, Lu Jin activated a secret technique, preventing the technique from unleashing its full power.

"Whoosh!"

The towering mountain vanished, and the "Dawn's Secret Codex" transformed into a stream of platinum light and flew back to him.

With the sound of pages turning, Lu Jin quickly flipped to the last page of the first layer, which he had been unable to open before.

"Shh!"

The moment the second layer of content was opened, the Dawn Codex shone with a dazzling platinum light, and a stream of platinum light shot out and instantly entered Lu Jin's body.

At the same time, a gentle voice rang out: "Little fellow, by cultivating the legacy I left behind, you will become my disciple, the Lord of Dawn."

Unfortunately, I passed away long ago and was not qualified to be a teacher.

After all, if I hadn't perished, you wouldn't have been able to hear the message I left in the "Dawn Codex".

Fortunately, I had a backup plan; there are seven layers of space in the "Dawn Codex".

The Sevenfold Law of Light and Time Fusion: With each perfect completion, you unlock a corresponding space containing a gift I left for you.

Little one, cultivate diligently, and I hope that one day you will stand at the pinnacle of the universe.

"Teacher, I owe you a debt of karma. One day I will naturally avenge you."

Lu Jin whispered as he caressed the "Dawn's Secret Manual" with his platinum dragon claw.

Having inherited the legacy of the Lord of Dawn, it is only right that he should seek revenge against him in the future.

It's a pity that the Lord of Dawn is not within the scope of reversing time and space for resurrection.

While the Immortal Transformation Pool can revive the Lord of the Universe within the primordial universe, it requires the Lord of the Universe to leave a divine mark before his fall; otherwise, he will also be unable to be revived.

Then, Lu Jin had a thought and took out the only platinum ring from an extra storage space in the "Dawn Codex".

With a burst of mental energy, Lu Jin quickly completed the recognition and exploration process. Inside the World Ring, he saw a white-gold bead with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers, its surface covered with countless mysterious patterns, radiating the pressure of a supreme treasure.

After taking out the treasure, Lu Jin began to infuse it with the power of the world to establish its ownership.

Meanwhile, inside the Time Palace, Lu Jin's Blood God Child avatar said to Zi Ni Chang, "Ni Chang, log into the virtual universe and check which force or powerful individuals killed the Beast God of Light, the Lord of Dawn."

Although Lingxiao King is the most dazzling genius of the human race in this era, his access to information in the virtual universe is still inferior to that of Zi Nishang, a cosmic venerable and top-level treasure refiner.

After a short while, Zi Nishang said, "The information is somewhat brief. The virtual universe did not specify who the participants are."

It only mentions the early stages of the primordial universe, when the Crystal Clan's Holy Lord, 'Heavenly Crystal Holy Lord,' who was then the Lord of the Universe, led many other Crystal Clan Universe Lords to kill the Lord of Dawn.

"The Heavenly Crystal Saint Lord?"

Lu Jin frowned slightly.

In the Aurora Realm of the Zerg Queen's Secret Realm, Aurora Crystals with effects similar to Blood Crystals can be produced. Previously, Lu Jin naturally assumed that the Zerg had killed the Lord of Dawn.

But unexpectedly, it turned out to be a crystal race?

The Crystal Clan members are rock-based life forms, so Aurora Crystals were useless to them. Therefore, they later transferred the Aurora Realm to the Zerg.
This is a bit tricky. The Heavenly Crystal Saint Lord is a true god. However, within the primordial universe, he can only unleash the strongest attack power of the sixth rank at most. This level of attack is simply not enough to kill any true god.

It is precisely for this reason that the true god is called the 'strongest being in the universe,' a symbol of invincibility within the primordial universe.

Even the original progenitor could not kill a true god in the primordial universe.

At most, one can only suppress a true god with a supreme treasure and then take him to the cosmic sea to annihilate him.

Lu Jin asked Zi Nishang, "I've never paid attention to the Crystal Clan before. Do these things have souls?"

Some rock-based life forms have souls, while others do not.

If the Crystal Clan does not have a soul, the difficulty of killing them will increase even further.

Moreover, killing immortal, venerable, and cosmic lord-level beings who have no soul leaves no corpse behind.

"The Crystal Clan has a soul. Has that Crystal Clan Holy Lord become our enemy?"

Zi Ni Chang nodded and asked.

Lu Jin said, "The Time Dragon's avatar obtained the inheritance of the Dawn Lord in the Ancestral God Cult. The fallen Dawn Lord became my nominal teacher."

Of course, it's not just because of the nominal teacher, the Lord of Dawn.

In Lu Jin's view, the billions of races in the primordial universe, including the Zerg, the Demon Race, the Mechanical Race, the Crystal Race, and the Prison Race, are all future targets of the Heavenly Court.

What is the Heavenly Court?

The known highest center of world power.

Those not belonging to the Heavenly Court must either submit or be destroyed.

He's destined to be the ruler of the primordial universe in the future.

"Then he has indeed found a way to die."

Zi Nishang nodded in agreement.

No matter who it is, if Lu Jin calls them enemies, then they are enemies.

Since they are enemies, they should be reduced to ashes or made into servants to serve the Heavenly Court.

Three days later, on Purple Thorn Island, inside the palace of the Time Dragon's avatar.

Within the World Ring, Lu Jin, who had successfully recognized the platinum round bead as his master, felt a surge of information about the treasure in his mind.

After digesting the information, Lu Jin looked at the platinum bead in front of him, which was hundreds of kilometers in diameter and named the 'Myriad Transformations Dawn Bead', and his lips twitched slightly.

The treasure appeared as a bead, and Lu Jin originally thought it would be one of the following types of treasures: soul-type, soul-type, sealing-type, or telekinetic weapon-type.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be an unusually multifunctional ordinary treasure.

"Whoosh!"

The Myriad Transformations Dawn Pearl transformed into a stream of platinum light and disappeared into the Time Dragon's avatar.

The next moment, Lu Jin's thoughts shifted, and his entire dragon body shone with a layer of platinum light. His entire body was covered with a layer of platinum scale armor, and even the dragon horns on his head and the four claws under his belly extended into sharp horns and claw sheaths.

Then, with a 'whoosh', three pairs of platinum wings unfurled from the long, slender back of the dragon.

'Nmp~, that's a bit awkward.'

Shaking his head, Lu Jin activated a secret technique called "Light God Transformation" recorded in the "Dawn Secret Manual," which could change one's physical form.

A dazzling platinum light emanated, and Lu Jin transformed into a platinum humanoid figure about six meters tall, with a dragon's head and a human body, wearing full armor, with three pairs of wings on his back and long, narrow claws extending from the front of his arms.

The common treasure, the Myriad Transformations Dawn Pearl, can be transformed into any style of Dawn Divine Armor, Dawn Divine Weapon, and Dawn Divine Wings. It is a common treasure that combines attack, defense, and flight wings, and its quality reaches the level of a top-grade common treasure.

The evolved Dawn Armor is equipped with three layers of secret runes, which can reduce the physical attacks received by the user to one percent, one thousandth, and one ten-thousandth, respectively.

After activating the secret runes on the Dawnlight Divine Wings, one can use the power of the runes to perform the three great spatial mysteries of teleportation, sealing, and strangulation.

At the Realm Lord and Immortal stages, the actual effect of the Three Profound Mysteries is lower than that of the Space Venerable, but stronger than that of the peak-level Immortals who have mastered the Three Profound Mysteries of Space.

If one were to reach the level of a Universe Venerable, the specific effects of the Three Profound Mysteries would be no less than those of a Space Venerable.

'These are essentially three top-grade ordinary treasures, not inferior to ordinary high-grade treasures.'

Sheathing his armor, claws, and wings, Lu Jin transformed back into a thirty-meter-long divine dragon, he thought to himself.

After exiting the World Ring, Lu Jin logged into the Glory World via the receiver.

Glory to the world.

In a corner of the spacious Glory Plaza, the figure of the Time Dragon's clone appeared out of thin air.

"Who is this? He looks unfamiliar, is he new here?"

"No, you don't even recognize the King of Time, who went on to provoke the demon clan's Venerable Lan Cang upon his arrival and then opened the treasure of the Sixth Peak?"

"So this is the King of Time. I was mistaken."

The arrival of the Time Dragon's clone sparked a great deal of discussion among the alien inheritors near the plaza.

It is not difficult for a special life form at the realm master level to possess the strength to become a king, especially for special life forms with high gene multiplication.

In addition, the pressure from the land of inheritance is generally only able to be withstood by those who possess the strength to be granted the title of king.

Therefore, even though the Time Dragon's avatar was only a Realm Lord, the other inheritors still addressed him as a King.

Lu Jin glanced at the whispering inheritors around him, but paid them no mind. He opened the black book that had appeared in front of him automatically and filled in the name 'Time'.

Then, Lu Jin opened the Honor World Ranking.

The third level of inheritors in the Ancestral God Sect is the most numerous, numbering over 90 million.

Compared to the more than 90 million third-level inheritors, the number of first-level inheritors is very small, only more than 300,000.

The reason there seem to be so few is mainly because most of the weak are self-aware. Rather than coming to the Ancestral God Sect to obtain the Beast God's inheritance, they would rather buy the Beast God's Inheritance Token, which is more valuable than a priceless treasure.

If one can safely make a move and possess resources equivalent to a Beast God Inheritance Token, as long as one's comprehension isn't too bad, achieving near-invincibility as a King is not an option.

Furthermore, the difficulty of breaking through from the first level to the second level, and from the second level to the third level, is far less than that of breaking through from the third level to the fourth level.

Because the breakthrough from the third level to the fourth level signifies stepping from immortality into a cosmic venerable.

The difficulty of breaking through is immense, and coupled with the infinite lifespan of immortal gods, the number of third-level inheritors has naturally become extremely large over countless years.

After glancing at the first ranking list, Lu Jin sent challenge letters to all the inheritors listed.

Against a divine body of equal strength in the battle world, the first level of perfect light-time fusion law comprehension, the first level of top-level light-time fusion secret technique in the "Dawn Codex", and a divine body amplitude secret technique with a limit of up to a hundred times.

These factors are enough to make Lu Jin the strongest among the more than 300,000 first-level inheritors.

Unless one encounters a divine body of considerable size, possessing an immortal-level peak secret technique, and whose divine body or soul amplification reaches at least ten times, but the Beast God Path is a rare exception at the first level of perfection.

The peak secret technique is a level above the top secret technique. After making up for the gap between him and the peak secret technique, aside from the factor of the size of the divine body, the strength is on par with his.

'With over 300,000 inheritors, surely a small number will accept the challenge?'

After sending out more than 300,000 challenge letters, Lu Jin thought to himself.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Lu Jin noticed a letter in the email section of the black book.

Click to view.

—【Inheritor King of Time, our Ancestral God Cult is the largest power in the original universe, and also the power with the largest concentration of special life forms in the universe. All special life forms are welcome to join. If you have the intention to join the cult, please reply in time.

Signed: Bloodfire God General

The treasure-delivering boy has arrived!

Lu Jin thought to himself, and immediately sent an affirmative reply to the old tool, Bloodfire God General.

At the same time, many of the first-level inheritors in Glory Square also received challenge letters from the King of Time.

"The King of Time? Let me see... Hmm... a special life form, I refuse!"

"The King of Time who recklessly provoked the Demon Clan's Venerable Lan Cang? He's a formidable character, not to be trifled with."

"The Time King who unlocked the treasure of the Sixth Peak? He must have some trump cards. I'd better pass."

"Special Life Time King? Hmph~, it's only because I don't have enough Glory Points, otherwise I would definitely have to test its worth."

"The King of Time who provoked Venerable Lan Cang of my Demon Clan Alliance? If I could defeat him and thoroughly humiliate him, Venerable Lan Cang would probably look at me differently, wouldn't he?"

"Bam—"

Just then, in a corner of Glory Square, Venerable Lan Yao, a member of the Nine-Monkey Beast Clan of the Demon Race, slammed his fist on the table and loudly announced, "All the first-level inheritors in the square, listen up!"

I hereby declare that whoever can defeat the King of Time will gain my friendship.

Upon hearing this, a look of joy flashed in Lu Jin's dragon eyes.

He was just worried about not having enough opponents to face! And then, an assist came along.

The friendship of the Cosmic Venerable is still very precious to most first-level inheritors, especially those in the demon race camp.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Jin decided to add fuel to the fire and immediately mocked, "Oh~, isn't this the Nine-Headed Turtle Venerable of the Demon Clan?"

Friendship? How much is your friendship worth? Show me something real.

Of course, if you're just a penniless wretch, then disregard what I said.

"Humph!"

Venerable Lan Cang didn't reply. He snorted coldly and sat back down in his original seat.

He wasn't very good with words, and it would be beneath the dignity of a cosmic lord to argue with a mere ant like him.

However, the fact that Venerable Lan Cang sat back down did not mean that the other demon clan inheritors in the square pretended not to see it.
