Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 232 The Azure Wave Palace Returns to the Martial World
Just as the Water Kirin clone comprehended the Sevenfold Water Void Beast God Path.

Deep within the majestic Ancestral God Palace at the heart of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, the fair and benevolent side of the Two-Faced Ancestral God opened its eyes, its gaze traversing space and landing on the Water Qilin clone.

'What's going on? He's already at the seventh level?'

A deep sense of bewilderment flashed in the eyes of the two-faced ancestral god.

Decades ago, Youming was only at the Realm Lord level, and his Water-Void Fusion Law was at the third level of perfection.

He disappeared in the blink of an eye, skipping the Immortal realm and directly entering the realm of the Cosmic Venerable.

Moreover, thirty years ago, after entering the realm of the Cosmic Venerable, he returned to the Ancestral God Sect, and at that time, his understanding of the Water-Space Fusion Law had just entered the fourth level.

Unexpectedly, in these thirty years, the elusive Netherworld seemed to have received special training from the primordial will, achieving a three-level leap and completing the seventh level of the Water Void Beast God Path.

He only needs to comprehend the Heart of the Beast God to become the Universe Master of the Water-Sky Beast God Path.

Even without comprehending the Heart of the Beast God, with his perfect genes, top-tier overlord divine body, and the strongest secret technique bestowed by his primordial will, he would still possess the combat power of a rare universe master in the entire primordial universe.

"Shh!"

On Purple Thorn Island, after passing through the fountain's water curtain and leaving the place of inheritance, the figure of the Water Kirin clone appeared in the square in front of the island's main palace.

Lu Jin was preparing to teleport back to his mansion and palace, and then return to the Heavenly Court via the Divine Kingdom teleportation system, when a gentle voice entered his ears: "Youming, come to the Ancestral God Palace."

Upon hearing the voice, Lu Jin was taken aback, feeling as if he had heard it somewhere before.

Soon, Lu Jin remembered.

This voice was heard when the third peak treasure was obtained in the treasure land. It was the voice of the dual-faced ancestral god among the three ancestral gods of the Ancestral God Sect.

Without hesitation, Lu Jin flew towards the Five-Colored Aurora Lake in the sky above Zijing Island, heading towards the Ancestral God Palace.

If nothing unexpected happens, the tycoon is going to give away another treasure!
The Ancestral God Cult is backed by the will of the origin, and is extremely wealthy; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a rich, powerful family.

As long as someone has talent, strength, and is on your own side, how could they be lacking in treasures?

"Whoosh!"

Before the towering, dazzling Ancestral God Palace, hundreds of millions of kilometers high, a stream of azure light descended, revealing the figure of the Water Qilin avatar.

"come in."

Before Lu Jin could speak, a gentle voice came from inside the Ancestral God Palace.

Upon entering the Ancestral God Palace, Lu Jin immediately saw a figure exuding a terrifying aura sitting cross-legged at the head of the extremely spacious temple.

Its figure was somewhat unusual, standing tens of meters tall with six arms and two faces. Its face was fair and appeared very kind.

Stepping forward quickly, Lu Jin clasped his hands and said, "Two-Faced Ancestral God."

"Hehe~, Youming, your speed of cultivation in fusing laws far exceeds my expectations. I wonder how your secret techniques are doing?"

The two-faced ancestral god said with a smile.

As for why the cultivation speed of the fusion law is so fast?

That's a matter of personal privacy; he won't ask.

Moreover, such an abnormal thing must be the fault of the original will of the universe, so asking him is pointless.

"Ancestral God, is it displayed here?"

Lu Jin asked.

"Ah."

The two-faced ancestral god nodded.

The Ancestral God Palace is not just an ornament, but a supreme treasure of the highest palace, which even a true god cannot destroy.

"Please enlighten me, Ancestral God."

After saying that, Lu Jin raised his blue-gold claws and slammed them down on the side wall of the palace.

"Shh!"

With a single slap, without using too much divine power, a dazzling blue-gold claw light appeared and instantly sliced ​​through the air, creating a spatial ripple in the otherwise stable space within the Ancestral God Palace before landing on the indestructible palace wall.

"boom--"

A violent roar resounded, the blue-gold claw light disappeared, and the palace walls remained completely undamaged.

However, the smile on the face of the two-faced ancestral god deepened even further.

With his keen eyesight, he could naturally see that this blue-gold claw-like light was the ultimate secret technique of the cosmic overlord, based on the law of water and space fusion.

The seventh level of Water-Sky Beast God Dao comprehension, the ultimate secret technique of the cosmic overlord, and the top-tier cosmic overlord divine body with perfect genes spanning over 90,000 kilometers—even without using the strongest talent secret technique, he is undoubtedly a cosmic lord in strength.

"Indeed, does this secret technique have a name?"

The two-faced ancestor god asked with a smile.

"I don't have a name yet. I plan to give it a formal name after I've perfected the ultimate secret technique of the Lord of the Universe."

Lu Jin said.

Upon hearing this, the two-faced ancestral god raised an eyebrow slightly.

If it were anyone else, he would have subconsciously thought there was a significant element of nonsense involved.

But the dual-faced ancestral god had no doubt about the possibility of this Netherworld being so favored by the will of the universe's origin.

After all, he's only a World Lord level guy after decades, and his secret technique is only at the peak of the Immortal level.

Decades later, he has become a top cosmic overlord and has comprehended the ultimate secret technique of cosmic overlord.

With such talent, how could he not comprehend the ultimate secret technique of the Lord of the Universe?

"Our Ancestral God Sect has never been stingy with rewards for outstanding members."

"Youming, these treasures are bestowed upon you. I hope you will cultivate diligently from now on."

As he spoke, the two-faced ancestral god waved one of his arms, and five supreme treasures appeared.

Four blue-gold claws, a set of light blue armor, a light blue palace, an ice-white bead, and a blue-gold beast statue—all exuded the powerful aura of supreme treasures.

Based on the power emanating from the five treasures, Lu Jin immediately determined their grade.

High-grade treasure claw set comparable to top-tier treasure weapons, top-tier treasure armor, high-grade palace treasure, high-grade soul treasure, and high-grade realm treasure.

After a moment's hesitation, Lu Jin asked, "Ancestral God, I wonder if these five treasures can be exchanged for something else?"

Top-tier treasures held little appeal for him.

Thirty years have passed outside, but thirty thousand years have passed inside the Lingxiao Palace, where time is accelerated a thousand times. He is not the only one who has made significant progress; Zi Nishang has as well.

Thanks to the Bodhi Tree's greatly enhanced enlightenment, more than 20,000 years ago in the Lingxiao Palace, Zi Nishang's treasure-refining skills made another breakthrough, entering the ranks of high-level treasure refiners.

After 20,000 years of refinement, it is now sufficient to forge top-grade treasures of the domain, soul, and palace categories.

Furthermore, by combining sets, one can also craft top-tier high-grade treasure weapons and armor with effects comparable to the finest and most precious treasures.

Although the number of Arcana items at this level is not high due to the short time frame, it is still considerable.

If the Ancestral God Sect had the goods, even a supreme treasure palace, he could exchange it for them.

"Oh? I wonder what kind of treasure you want?"

The two-faced ancestor god said in surprise.

Lu Jin said, "Ancestral God, I have many treasures of low grade, and I would like to exchange them with you for palace treasures, the higher the grade the better."

"There are no unused supreme treasure palaces in the sect, but there are top-tier treasure palaces."

The dual-faced ancestral god put away the five treasures and took out a crystal palace with countless mysterious patterns on its surface, surrounded by water vapor, and with a light blue color. He then landed in front of Lu Jin and said, "This treasure is called 'Azure Wave Misty Palace'. It is a top-grade palace treasure."

As is customary, for every cosmic master belonging to my Ancestral God Cult, the cult will support a top-tier palace treasure, which can be considered an advance payment to you.

The two-faced ancestral god did not mention the exchange.

My Ancestral God Cult is not lacking in ordinary treasures, why would we need so much 'trash'?
"Thank you, Ancestral God!"

Lu Jin secretly called him "boss" and quickly thanked him.

Getting a top-tier palace treasure for free—that's what you call being a rich person.

"Yes, go ahead and cultivate diligently, striving to become the master of the universe as soon as possible."

Nodding slightly, the two-faced ancestral god waved his hand.

In the eyes of the dual-faced Ancestral God, Lu Jin's water unicorn clone had become a rare true god prospect within the Ancestral God Sect.

To date, the Ancestral God Cult, as the primary power in the primordial universe, has yet to produce a true god.

Without going into too much detail, the Ancestral God Cult must give birth to at least one true god before this cycle of reincarnation ends.

Otherwise, with the arrival of the Great Destruction, only annihilation awaits the Ancestral God Cult.

Inside the Lingxiao Palace in the Great Luo Heaven, Lu Jin adjusted the direction of his comprehension of the laws.

Having failed to comprehend the Heart of the Beast God, the Path of the Water Beast God had reached its end. The 9000 Blood God Child incarnations who had originally been comprehending the Law of Water-Void Fusion also devoted themselves to creating laws.

10081 Blood God Child incarnations, one who unleashed the Chaos Tide within the Netherworld God Kingdom, 80 who comprehended the Law of Time, and 10000 who created secret techniques.

As for the law of light-time fusion?

The third level of perfect light-time fusion law requires, in order to advance to the fourth level corresponding to a newly entered cosmic venerable, the prerequisite is to integrate the three mysteries of time and master the law of time.

But if he not only controls space, but also masters the laws of time, then he can become the master of the universe of spacetime.

In other words, if he wants to improve his understanding of the laws of light and time fusion, he must first become the master of the universe.

Because of his ordinary life genes, the Blood God Child's incarnation was far less talented in physical cultivation than the main body and the three avatars. As a result, he was not very effective in comprehending the laws, but he was not much worse than the main body and the three avatars in creating laws.

Therefore, the current bottleneck in the laws of time will be handled by the Time Dragon clone, the Netherworld Blood Sea clone, and a small number of Blood God Child avatars.

Most of the Blood God's incarnations devoted themselves to the secret art of creation.

Putting aside other things, surely we need the ultimate secret technique of the Lord of the Universe?

After all, this level of secret technique is only standard equipment for all second-order universe lords.

"His Majesty."

At this moment, Hong'er's divine power avatar entered the hall and handed Lu Jin a world ring. "Hmm."

Nodding slightly, Lu Jin accepted the World Ring, infused it with divine power to recognize it as his own, and then collected the seven seas of divine power within into the Demon Refining Pot to decompose them, transforming them into a massive amount of Universe Lord-level Life Source Crystals.

"Whoosh whoosh-"

A massive amount of cosmic-level life source crystals, displaying a diamond-like luster, were poured into the divine source liquid pool beside the nine-colored throne, in the semi-circular lotus pond.

As expected, the divine essence liquid produced by the Immortal Transformation Pool was somewhat insufficient to cover the costs.

Although there are 36 lotus plants in the lotus pond, the one with the fastest growth rate is the lotus plant.

It's not that as long as there's enough energy, a lotus plant in its initial state can instantly grow to the limit allowed by the original universe.

However, due to the thousand-fold time acceleration within the Lingxiao Palace, it is equivalent to requiring 36000 lotus plants to nourish one Immortal Transformation Pool.

At first, the lotus plants were not of a high level, and the Immortal Transformation Pool could afford to supply them. But now, relying solely on the divine source liquid that the Immortal Transformation Pool obtains from the origin of the universe is not enough.

Fortunately, the seven avatars of Hong'er and her companions in the Netherworld were also able to enjoy a hundredfold time acceleration within their respective Seven Clouds Heavenly Kingdoms.

In addition, with the high-level primordial treasures that boost their divine power recovery speed ten thousand times, the size of their seven Nether Sea clones is now quite considerable.

With the divine source liquid produced by the Immortal Transformation Pool, plus the support of the seven Nether Sea clones, it is obviously not a problem for the 36 lotus plants to grow at the fastest speed under the environment of a thousand times time acceleration; in fact, it can be said to be a piece of cake.

'With the current state of the 36 lotus plants, they can be transformed into treasures and reach the level of top-grade supreme treasures. It won't be long before they can be promoted again.'

The rate at which it absorbs energy will increase dramatically again, and it should be able to grow into a supreme true god treasure before the Heavenly Court is even born, right?

Looking at the 36 lotus plants in the semi-circular lotus pond that were rapidly growing by absorbing divine source liquid and a massive amount of universe master-level life source crystals, Lu Jin thought to himself.

Through the three twelve-petaled lotus platforms, Lu Jin could observe the growth status of the 36 lotus plants, but he couldn't say for sure when they would grow to the limit allowed by the original universe.

Furthermore, among the True God Treasures, the upper limit of a Top-Grade True God Treasure is far higher than that of an Ordinary True God Treasure.

If conditions permit, Lu Jin will definitely cultivate all 36 lotus seeds that are conceived every 10,000 epochs into top-grade True God treasures.

'Hmm? The Azure Wave Misty Palace? The Ancestral God Sect is indeed generous.'

Suddenly, Lu Jin's lips curled into a smile as his water unicorn clone obtained a top-grade palace treasure from the Ancestral God Sect for free.

After glancing at the seven people, including Hong'er, who were creating magic within the hall, Lu Jin used the external space to move around and, with a thought, manifested the Azure Wave Misty Palace, which was the size of a palm.

"Lan'er, this top-grade palace treasure, Azure Wave Misty Palace, is for you to use."

As he spoke, Lu Jin waved his hand, and the palm-sized Azure Wave Palace landed in front of Lan'er.

Although the seven of them had the same understanding of the laws, mastering both the two superior laws and the eight inferior laws, Lu Jin still preferred to give the fire-type treasure to Hong'er, the light-type treasure to Cheng'er, and the lightning-type treasure to Zi'er.

The Azure Wave Palace is a treasure of the water system, so it was naturally given priority to Lan'er.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lan'er accepted it with a delighted expression.

“Ni Chang, there’s no need to refine Lan’er’s palace treasure.”

Lu Jin turned to Zi Nishang and said.

"Ah."

Zi Ni Chang, who was refining a supreme treasure of the light-element palace, nodded.

Having been able to refine top-grade palace treasures, Zi Nishang began refining palace treasures for Hong'er and the other seven after she had already refined a complete set of treasures for Lu Jin's main body and three avatars.

However, it's only Orange's turn now, not Blue's turn yet, who is sixth in line.

Now that Lan'er has the Azure Wave Misty Palace, there is naturally no need to refine any more top-grade palace treasures for her.

Then, Lu Jin looked at the many alien servants at the peak of the King level and above in the Lingxiao Palace.

The Lingxiao Palace has existed for 30,000 years, possessing the complete cultivation heritage of the Heavenly Court's Inheritance Tower, coupled with the enlightenment blessed by the Bodhi Tree.

Compared to the strength of the more than 12,000 alien kings and servants 30,000 years ago, the situation has undergone earth-shattering changes.

Originally, their understanding of the laws was mostly limited to comprehending the three higher mysteries, with a small portion of the three higher mysteries remaining uncomprehended.

Now, having fully comprehended the three profound mysteries of the higher laws, he is only one final integration away from becoming a Space Venerable or a Time Venerable.

Furthermore, more than 800 of them were crowned kings from other races, and now they have either mastered space or time, entering the ranks of cosmic venerables.

Of course, Lu Jin didn't really care much about being crowned a king by an alien race or becoming a cosmic venerable.

In terms of understanding the laws alone, a mere cosmic venerable could be dealt with with a single high-level law godhead.

Even the most powerful being in the universe only needs to add a high-level law bead of another system at the level of the three profound mysteries.

They can even use the existing Three Profound Law Beads to train Hong'er and the others to cultivate Time Venerable Warriors or Space Venerable Warriors.

Apart from Jin Jiao, who was the head of the alien servants and received special care from him, Lu Jin basically left the other alien servants to their own devices.

If you really want to train subordinates, it's better to train Earthlings or people from the Qiankun Realm like Zi Zhenfeng than to train alien servants.

Before long, the Water Qilin clone returned via teleportation from the Divine Kingdom and then continued to study the eight mysterious patterns of water beasts.

'Should we continue to cause trouble for the Machine Race?'

Lu Jin glanced at the 10000 Blood God Child incarnations who were creating spells inside the hall and thought to himself.

The mechanical race is quite stubborn. Before his breakthrough, after the Blood God Child's incarnation was renamed the Slaughtering Machine King, he died hundreds of thousands of times. In the outer battlefield, he killed millions of immortals from the mechanical race faction.

With the help of his servants, Lu Jin also collected over a thousand high-level law beads that had comprehended three profound mysteries from the immortals in the mechanical race camp, and even more high-level law beads that had comprehended only one or two profound mysteries.

In other words, after the appearance of the Slaughter King, the Mechanical Race lost more than 11,000 Immortals at the peak of the King level or above.

But with so many top fighters dead, the mechanical race still shows no sign of compromising, so it's necessary to pull some serious punches.

Moreover, 30 years have passed since the Blood God's incarnation lasted in the primordial universe, and he has not made a move since then, which may give the mechanical race the illusion that he is afraid.

If a Blood God Child at the World Lord level can't force the Mechanical Race to submit, what about a Blood God Child incarnation at the Universe Venerable level?
After pondering for a moment and making up his mind, the main body, like the water unicorn clone, continued to comprehend the eight water beast god diagrams.

Meanwhile, of the 10000 Blood God Child incarnations who were creating the laws, 1000 withdrew from the creation sequence, teleported out of the Lingxiao Palace, and headed to the Netherworld.

Within the Netherworld God Kingdom, above the Netherworld Blood Sea, the Blood God Child avatar, carrying the Kunlun Mirror and maintaining the 'Chaotic Tide', moved his mind, communicated with the Kunlun Mirror, and issued a Kunlun Token to each of his Blood God Child avatars before activating spatial teleportation.

The territory of the Machine Race, the Vanlo Star Sector.

The Brahma Secret Realm is located on the edge of the Brahma-Loh star sector, with a maximum diameter of over 600,000 light-years.

Its inner universe is rich in energy, and it has been the birthplace of supreme treasures. It is frequented by a large number of immortal mechanical beings and a small number of mechanical universe venerables.

"Shh!"

In the starry sky somewhere in the secret realm, the avatar of a Blood God Child with blood-red hair and blood-red armor appeared.

The 1000 Blood God Child incarnations that Lu Jin dispatched this time did not carry any treasures; the blood-red armor they wore was merely a transformation of their pseudo-form abilities.

The reason for this is mainly because the mechanical race has only a dozen or so universe masters, far fewer than the human and demon races.

However, the Lord of the Universe possesses extremely high mobility, and maintaining high-frequency teleportation of tens of thousands of light-years is no problem at all.

To avoid the Blood God Child's incarnation turning into a treasure-delivering boy, Lu Jin didn't bring any treasures except for the Kunlun Token, which could be retrieved at any time.

Even if they were bare-handed, a Blood God Child avatar with ordinary life genes could easily kill immortals, including those who were invincible and were crowned kings.

If you encounter a mechanical universe lord, then activate your strongest innate secret technique, 'Chaotic Tide,' to kill the enemy.

The divine body of a common gene universe lord, spanning over 90,000 kilometers, consumes such a massive amount of divine power that it would be enough to annihilate a high-level or lower universe lord of the mechanical race whose divine body is not particularly large.

As for strength surpassing that of a High-Level Universe Venerable?

Let them kill them; it's just a little bit of divine power, Lu Jin doesn't care.

Even if a Blood God Child avatar dies, it can be restored in a matter of minutes by the size of the Netherworld Blood Sea clone and the high-level primordial treasure of the space system.

Moreover, this is only because in recent years, a large number of Blood God Child incarnations have been needed to accelerate the comprehension of the laws, and the Netherworld Blood Sea clone has not focused its energy on the expansion of its divine body; otherwise, it would not have been a problem to recover every second.

Looking around at the mysterious starry sky, Lu Jin's gaze locked onto a G-class flying saucer-shaped spaceship six light-years away.

"Shh!"

The next moment, Lu Jin teleported in, and a blood-red demonic sword materialized.

As divine power surged, a sword was unleashed, its dazzling blue-gold light flashing and instantly tearing through the starry sky, leaving a spatial ripple before landing on the saucer-shaped G-class spaceship not far away.

"Bam—"

Like popping soap bubbles, the G-class spaceship, which ordinary King-level experts could not destroy, along with a mechanical race King-level immortal in the spaceship's control room, was instantly reduced to ashes.

Then, Lu Jin used teleportation again to hunt down his next target.

The third extraterritorial battlefield.

Above a colossal war base, millions of kilometers in diameter and shrouded in an energy shield, floats a mechanical fortress tens of thousands of kilometers in diameter.

Inside the mechanical fortress, in a metal hall, sat a six-meter-tall mechanical race venerable whose body seemed to be cast from purple metal and whose eyes shone like diamonds, on the throne at the head of the hall.

"It's been thirty years since we've heard from the Blood Demon. He must be terrified of us mechanical races, right?"

The High-Level Universe Venerable 'Flash Spirit', who was stationed at the Third Extraterrestrial Battlefield of the Mechanical Race, thought to himself.

However, just as the Flash Spirit Venerable was thinking this, a figure with blood-red hair and blood-red armor teleported over the war base outside the fortress.

"Dududu-"

The intelligent system detected the arrival of the uninvited guests, and a piercing alarm sounded throughout the war base.

Immediately, the Spirit Master, inside the mechanical fortress above the war base, cast his gaze upon it.

"This Blood Demon?"

Upon seeing the figure with blood-red hair and blood-red armor in the distance, Venerable Flash Spirit's pupils suddenly contracted.

He could see that the Blood Demon was no longer a weak realm lord, but a cosmic lord who controlled space.

It's over!

A Blood Demon at the World Lord level is enough to give the clan a major headache, but now that he has become a Universe Venerable, isn't he becoming the number one calamity?
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The blinding energy converged and charged, and the countless cannons equipped in the war base were charged, which then burst forth with countless brilliant energy beams that were enough to suppress even the most immortal kings.

Even among these countless beams of energy, there are twelve energy rays powerful enough to annihilate ordinary cosmic beings.
