Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 250 The Treasure of the Burning Heaven Demon God, Lord of Heavenly Frost
However, Lu Jin wouldn't say anything like the dark place in the Peak Realm is dangerous right now.

While the Beasts of the Dark Lands are indeed powerful, there are many dangerous areas in the Cosmic Sea that could take the life of Giant Axe.

In Lu Jin's view, the reason why the giant axe fell into the pit and perished in the original work is that...

There are many factors that contribute to this: having the most powerful and precious axe in hand, one's strength has increased dramatically, leading to a somewhat arrogant attitude and a disregard for dangerous places and opponents.

Of course, it wasn't wrong for the giant axe to think that way back then, after all, a ninth-order true god was the ceiling of the universe sea at that time.

I've already reached the pinnacle of combat power, so what do I have to fear from demons and monsters?
Furthermore, the supreme treasure axe that the giant axe obtained was also found in some dangerous place in the Peak Realm, and Lu Jin would not ruin the other party's opportunity.

Ideally, you'd find the axe without falling into the pit.

Judging from the level that the giant axe has shown, reaching the tenth rank is just the minimum requirement. It is still an excellent fighter who can help him collect the true god-level law godheads.

Inside a separate space within a secret chamber containing a black token, located around the No. 15 black-patterned stone pillar.

"Shh!"

Above the boundless desert, Lu Jin's Blood God Child incarnation teleported in.

"!!!"

Just as Lu Jin was about to further confirm whether there was any danger in the independent space so that he could safely take out the Karmic Fire Lotus to check if the treasure existed, he saw a majestic crimson palace exuding a powerful aura of a supreme treasure, standing tens of light-years away in the sky.

"Finally, we've found the treasure!"

Unable to resist a sigh, Lu Jin teleported, appearing a million kilometers away from the majestic crimson palace.

As expected, many of the black token-equipped secret rooms were empty.

Aside from the three perilous maps inside the first chamber, the contents of which were uncertain whether they contained pits, Lu Jindu explored 17 other secret chambers but found nothing.

The 19th blind box from our treasure hunt has finally been shipped.

A surge of divine power shot out and entered the majestic crimson palace, where Lu Jin quickly completed the recognition process.

"It truly is a supreme treasure of a peak palace!"

After a careful examination, Lu Jin couldn't help but smile.

Then, with a wave of his hand, a thousand-meter-tall crimson stone tablet, over a hundred treasures of varying grades, as well as a large amount of refining materials and various precious resources flew out from the palace.

This blind box is quite valuable; aside from the materials for refining treasures and various precious resources, the treasures alone are worth a fortune.

Besides this crimson peak palace treasure, there is also a peak domain treasure, nine peak treasure level treasures (including top domain treasures), more than forty top treasure level treasures, and more than fifty high-grade and ordinary treasure level treasures.

After storing numerous treasures, a large amount of refining materials, and various precious resources into his external storage space, Lu Jin looked at the thousand-meter-tall stone tablet.

The stone tablet was covered with secret patterns and had a string of characters on it.

Although he didn't recognize the font, Lu Jin was able to understand it easily because of the powerful will it contained.

—【I am the Burning Heaven Demon God.】

Upon seeing the name, Lu Jin's face darkened.

That means this guy must have been dead long ago, otherwise he would definitely be on the Heavenly Court's kill list.

After the Heavenly Court was established, Lu Jin had it issue an announcement on the official website of the Virtual Universe Company.

Within three years, all beings in the primordial universe whose names insult or defame 'Heaven', such as 'Slaying Heaven,' 'Destroying Heaven,' and 'Treading Heaven,' must change their names.

Otherwise, after the three-year period, the Heavenly Court will surely kill those who refuse to change their names.

Despite traversing the universe for three lifetimes, I, Burning Heaven, ultimately failed to reach a higher level. However, with the help of numerous supreme treasures, I was able to barely reach the tenth rank.

The cycle of reincarnation is unknown, and I do not know if I can transform this small universe into an eternal holy land like the Eastern Emperor and the Purple Moon.

Some treasures and resources were left to future generations.

If there is a sacred land of burning heaven in the cosmic sea, you may bring this stele to find me. The predestined connection that transcends countless reincarnations is worthy of my special attention.

Without the Burning Heaven Holy Land, hahaha, countless tenth-order true gods have existed throughout countless reincarnations, but they only became the Eastern Emperor and Ziyue.

Junior, this stone tablet was specially crafted by a master craftsman at my request, and it contains my legacy.

If possible, find me several more inheritors. At least, it will prove that I, the Burning Heaven Demon God, once existed, and was an invincible powerhouse who once roamed the universe.

"Time is indeed the most ruthless force."

After reading the stone tablet, Lu Jin couldn't help but sigh.

No matter how invincible you are, if you do not become a true god of the void, once the three cycles of reincarnation are over, you will turn to ashes.

After countless years, everything about you will completely disappear into the river of time.

A surge of divine power shot out and entered the stone tablet, which had been refined into a high-grade treasure, quickly completing the recognition of its owner.

After a while, Lu Jin finished reading the inheritance.

"Mediocrity," was Lu Jin's assessment.

Of course, what he considered standard and conventional does not mean that this secret technique is ordinary; it's just that his standards have been greatly raised by the Heavenly Court's Inheritance Tower.

In other words, the secret technique of swallowing the starry sky is worthless; otherwise, this secret technique would be enough to make countless universe lords fight and perish.

"Rest assured, senior, I will retrieve your treasure and fulfill your wish."

Lu Jin solemnly said something, put away the stone tablet, and teleported back to the Netherworld God Kingdom.

Inside the Hall of Ascension in the Great Luo Heaven.

"Hong'er, this palace is yours."

Lu Jin gave the newly acquired Fire-type ultimate treasure, the Palace, to Hong'er.

"The aura of this supreme treasure is in no way inferior to Zi'er's Xuan Sha Qian Jun Palace. Is it a supreme treasure of a peak palace?"

Hong'er asked in surprise.

"Yes, it is indeed a supreme treasure of the pinnacle palace."

Lu Jin nodded, then turned to look at Cheng'er and the other two, who were filled with envy as they had not yet found any top-tier palace treasures, and said, "Don't worry, the treasure hunt has only just begun, and you'll have them soon."

The nine supreme treasures left behind by the Burning Heaven Demon God consist of one top-tier domain-type supreme treasure, two top-tier soul-type supreme treasures, two supreme treasure armors, and four supreme treasure weapons, but no top-tier palace supreme treasures.

However, with the Kunlun Mirror in hand, the cosmic ship containing countless secret chambers is a huge treasure trove for Lu Jin, and it is destined to have high-grade treasure palaces in the future.

"Uh-huh!"

The three of them nodded.

"Does this palace treasure have a name?"

Hong'er asked Lu Jin.

Lu Jin waved his hand: "You can come up with one yourself."

Many treasures, once they recognize a master, will reveal their basic information.

However, many treasures also do not provide basic information, and this supreme palace treasure is one of the latter.

"Then let's call it the Immortal Flame Burning Void Palace?"

After thinking for a moment, Hong'er said.

"Ok, deal!"

Lu Jin gave a thumbs-up.

Then, Lu Jin waved his hand, and many treasures, refining materials, and precious resources left behind by the Burning Heaven Demon God materialized. They then crossed space and were stored in the treasure vault of the Spirit Treasure Hall, with prices marked and put on sale.

Aside from palace-type treasures and some special types of treasures, he, Zi Ni Chang, Hong Er, and others have plenty.

That supreme treasure from the pinnacle of the realm is indeed wonderful, but it can only be put up for sale.

Of course, the Lingbao Hall is not completely open to other forces.

Those not belonging to the Heavenly Court can only purchase treasures of the level of ordinary peak treasures and top-level domain treasures within the Lingbao Hall.

Treasures of the highest level in the realm are only available to members of the Heavenly Court.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Jin took out the inheritance stone tablet left by the Burning Heaven Demon God, separated a wisp of his consciousness to log into the virtual universe, and uploaded the numerous secret techniques recorded on the stone tablet to the Heavenly Court's inheritance hall in the virtual universe, and signed the creator of the secret techniques as 'Burning Heaven Demon God'.

The Heavenly Court has departments in the real world, and it also exists in the virtual universe.

However, the Inheritance Hall did not upload all the secret techniques within the Inheritance Tower to the virtual universe; it only compiled and uploaded a small portion of them.

The Inheritance Hall in the virtual universe is not much stronger than the secret treasuries of the other five major powers.

Is it wrong to be prejudiced against different schools of thought?
In Lu Jin's view, sectarianism is necessary, otherwise wouldn't members of his own Heavenly Court have no advantage?

Of course, the inheritance of the Burning Heaven Demon God that I obtained this time is among those that can be made public.

When the Virtual Universe Inheritance Hall is launched, the secret manuals of the five major forces, including the Virtual Universe Company, will also be available. Members of the five major forces can purchase and cultivate these manuals by spending points.

On the other side, in the Heavenly Frost Universe Kingdom.

In the boundless void, a magnificent palace complex stretching for millions of kilometers floats.

In the center of the palace complex, inside the Frost God Temple.

"Pause, speed up, rewind."

On the throne, the King of Tianshuang, holding a Bodhi seed, narrowed his eyes and murmured to himself.

At a certain moment, a glint flashed in the eyes of the Heavenly Frost King. As his divine power surged, he drew out threads of the laws of time in front of him, forming three incomplete time-related patterns.

Immediately afterwards, the three time rune diagrams converged and merged, and in an instant, a perfect time rune diagram appeared.

"The Time Law, it's complete?"

Looking at the complete time rune diagram in mid-air before him, the King of Tianshuang Kingdom could hardly believe it.

The water beast god who walked the path of countless years eventually became the master of the universe through the path of time and space.

"Rumble--"

Before the Heavenly Frost King could think further, the overwhelming pressure of the endless cosmic primordial laws descended.

At this moment, accompanied by endless pressure, a black and white vortex with a diameter of hundreds of thousands of kilometers appeared above the continuous palace complex suspended in the void.

"Whoosh whoosh-"

Endless divine power of time and space poured down the seawater, and the aura emanating from the Heavenly Frost King within the temple was rapidly increasing.

Inside the Hall of Ascension in the Great Luo Heaven.

Lu Jin waved his hand, and more than ten treasures, the most valuable of which were top-tier armors, were taken out from the external space and then transported across space to the Spirit Treasure Hall.

Following the initial treasures of the Star Lord of Light and the Burning Heaven Demon God, Lu Jin obtained another treasure.

However, this treasure is of a lower quality, its value being equivalent to only one top-tier supreme weapon.

Although no identity information was left inside the independent space, it is likely that it was left by a cosmic lord from some unknown era.

Moreover, these treasures were probably not intended for future generations, but rather were lost somewhere during a trip.

But Lu Jin didn't mind. Even a mosquito's leg is still meat, let alone this one.

Suddenly, Fatty's voice rang in his mind: "Master, your teacher, the Lord of Tianshuang Kingdom, sent an email saying that he has stepped into the realm of the Lord of the Universe."

"It's done?!"

Lu Jin was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face.

The master of the Heavenly Frost Kingdom did not have a disciple like him, and thus did not become the ruler of the universe.

If he were to become the Lord of the Universe despite having such a disciple, wouldn't it make it seem like he had wasted his time as a disciple? Subsequently, Lu Jin's figure disappeared from the Hall of Ascension and teleported to the Hall of Spiritual Treasures.

After sifting through the treasure vault, Lu Jin selected five supreme treasures, then went to the Immortal Transformation Hall, before heading to the Netherworld God Kingdom, and finally using the Kunlun Mirror to teleport to the Heavenly Frost God Palace.

In the center of the continuous, majestic palace complex lies the Heavenly Frost Temple.

"Congratulations, teacher, on mastering time and space."

Lu Jin congratulated the King of Tianshuang.

"Haha~, I was able to break through this time thanks to Bodhi Seed."

The King of Tianshuang smiled and waved his hand, then his expression turned serious. He took out a Bodhi seed and said, "The Bodhi seed has extraordinary effects. I have already become a master of the universe, so you should keep it for yourself and strive to become a master of the universe as soon as possible."

Lu Jin shook his head and said, "There's no need for that. I still have Bodhi seeds. You can use this one."

Moreover, becoming the Lord of the Universe is merely a new beginning; I hope the teacher will not slacken in his efforts.

Even with the strongest secret technique, perfect genes, and top-tier treasures, he's only at the fourth tier of strength, far from being invincible in the primordial universe, let alone becoming the ceiling of cosmic sea combat power.

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Frost King rolled his eyes: "You brat, you've really grown up. You're even starting to remind your teacher not to slack off in his cultivation."

Lu Jin provoked, "Teacher, you wouldn't want your disciple to be bullied and you wouldn't be able to help, would you?"

The Frost King: "."

Seeing this, Lu Jin smiled, waved his right hand, and five supreme treasures appeared in the hall.

"This isn't for me, is it?"

Upon seeing these five treasures, the King of Tianshuang Kingdom was shocked.

Although they have not yet recognized a master, the Heavenly Frost King could tell from the overwhelming pressure emanating from these five treasures that they were far superior to the treasures he was currently using.

Lu Jin nodded: "This disciple respectfully greets you, sir."

The pinnacle domain treasure 'Flying Snow Domain', the top-tier soul treasure 'Thousand Illusion Pearl', the pinnacle treasure armor 'Cosmic Divine Armor', the water-elemental pinnacle treasure weapon 'Heavenly Waterfall Frost-Condensing Sword', and the water-elemental top-grade palace treasure have no specific names.

Inside the treasure vault of the Lingbao Hall, the highest grade of water-type supreme treasure psychic weapons is only top-tier supreme treasure; there are no peak water-type supreme treasure psychic weapons, so Lu Jin will not give them away.

Anyway, his teacher wasn't exactly penniless; it was just a top-tier psychic weapon, which Old Deng of Ice Peak could easily handle.

"Isn't this bad?"

The King of Tianshuang hesitated.

It's always the teacher who gives treasures to the disciple, so how come in his case it's the disciple giving treasures to the teacher?
Moreover, they are all extremely valuable treasures.

Lu Jin said, "Teacher, I have made quite a few enemies, and I don't want anything to happen to you one day."

"Your teacher's abilities are so weak in your eyes?"

The King of Tianshuang Kingdom spoke with a somber expression.

Lu Jin quickly waved his hand: "How could that be? It's just that the demon race would love to tear me to pieces."

Those beasts can't do anything to me, but I'm afraid you'll be getting your head shot in the future."

"Alright then, I'll shamelessly accept it."

The King of Tianshuang Kingdom nodded and accepted the five treasures.

Having a disciple who is very good at attracting hatred is indeed quite dangerous.

That is to say, he has always stayed within the territory; otherwise, if he had ventured into various secret realms, countless powerful demons would have wanted to kill him long ago.

"Here, this is for you too. It contains quite a bit of Divine Source Liquid."

Lu Jin then gave the King of Tianshuang another world ring.

The Heavenly Frost King shook his head: "My clan possesses a primordial treasure. I can use it to complete my divine body transformation."

When he first became the Lord of the Universe, he had only completed about 25% of his divine body transformation and still needed a massive amount of divine power to fill the gap.

However, using Divine Source Liquid directly to quickly replenish the body would be too extravagant; it's better to accelerate recovery using Primal Treasures.

"Since you've already brought it, you can keep it. As for how to complete the divine body transformation, it's up to you. The Heavenly Court has plenty of these."

"That's incredibly extravagant!"

"No, this is a disciple's filial piety."

The master and disciple chatted for a long time before Lu Jin left the temple and returned to the Heavenly Court.

Half a day later, the Lord of Ice Peak arrived.

"Father."

The King of Tianshuang rose and bowed.

The Lord of Ice Peaks nodded indifferently: "Not bad. After countless years, we have finally taken this step."

His expression was indifferent, not because the Lord of Ice Peak was unhappy; on the contrary, he was quite excited at the moment.

In the past, he had often envied his second senior brother, the Lord of Darkness, whose personal disciple, Youhou, had become the Lord of the Universe.

But he no longer needs to envy them. Both father and son are masters of the universe, which is even rarer than the master-disciple relationship of masters of the universe. This is the first case in the original universe.

After a pause, the Lord of Ice Peak said, "Now that you have stepped into the realm of the Lord of the Universe, the top-grade treasure weapons and armor that I gave you before are inevitably of a lower grade. But top-grade treasures are hard to find, so make do with them for now."

"I have a top-grade, high-level palace treasure here, which I traded with your grand-uncle. Here you go."

As he spoke, the Lord of the Ice Peaks took out a supreme palace of azure blue.

"I already have this one."

After glancing at it, the King of Tianshuang took out the new version of the 'Tianshuang Temple' given to him by Lu Jin.

After a moment of surprise, the Lord of the Ice Peak asked, "Where did you come from?"

"Of course it was given to me by my prized disciple!"

The King of Tianshuang Kingdom couldn't help but say proudly.

The Lord of Ice Peak nodded and said, "Alright, I'll replace it with a top-grade high-level soul treasure."

The King of Tianshuang waved his hand and said, "There's no need for that, we already have it."

"Is it also a top-grade, high-level soul treasure?"

"That's not it."

"Even among high-grade soul treasures, there is a significant difference between top-grade and ordinary high-grade ones."

“Father, you misunderstand. I was talking about a top-tier soul treasure.”

"Then let's have a Domain Treasure. Don't tell me you also have a top-tier Domain Treasure."

No, not at all.

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Ice Peak secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally not becoming a 'useless father'.

However, the next second, the King of Tianshuang said with a proud and self-satisfied expression, "Although I don't have a top-level domain treasure, my prized disciple has given me a peak domain treasure!"

After a long silence, the Lord of the Ice Peak asked, "What else are you lacking?"

The Heavenly Frost King said, "We already have the supreme treasure armor and the divine sword, but we are still missing a supreme treasure psychic weapon."

Of course, if it's too difficult to get started, I can specialize in martial arts in the future.

Anyway, the water-air fusion technique I created before is no longer applicable, and I also have the foundation of a martial artist.”

"Wait!"

After uttering just two words, the Lord of Ice Peaks left.

He was determined to get his hands on this supreme treasure of telekinetic power, even if it meant sacrificing his pride.

How can an elder accept all the precious gifts offered by his disciples? It's absolutely unacceptable!
'Luckily I didn't give you my precious disciple, otherwise I wouldn't be able to gloat today.'

Watching his father's departing figure, the King of Tianshuang thought to himself with a sense of smug satisfaction.

The following day, the highest meeting of the human race was held again to congratulate the 'Lord of Frost' on mastering time and space and becoming the Lord of the Universe.

Thus, aside from those secretly hidden within the Heavenly Court, the highest level of humanity consists of one true god and twenty-three lords of the universe.

"Guiyi, Guiyi, why can't you guys be a little more ambitious?"

After the highest-level meeting ended, the Lord of Chaos City sighed with a frustrated expression inside the Chaos Ruins.

The second junior brother, Darkness, has a disciple of the Lord of the Universe, while the third junior brother, Ice Peak, has a son who is also the Lord of the Universe.

As a fellow teacher and disciple, and the eldest disciple in particular, he was somewhat embarrassed that he was not a disciple of the Lord of the Universe.

"No, it's unrealistic to rely on Guiyi and the others. We need to find a new disciple."

Shaking his head, the Chaos City Lord planned to take on a new disciple. He didn't expect him to be more than his two junior brothers, but at least he should be able to hatch an egg, right?

Suddenly, a virtual universe email was sent to the Chaos City Lord's inbox.

"Huh? Luo Feng has crossed the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge?"

Upon opening the email, the Lord of Chaos City couldn't help but ask in surprise.

The eighteen-story Heavenly Bridge is no ordinary structure; it represents the level of enlightenment attained by ordinary people at the initial stage of the King-level Immortal realm, while Luo Feng is merely a Realm Lord.

Whether he can rise to prominence as rapidly as Lu Jin remains to be seen, but he is definitely a rare super genius, and one who is making rapid progress.

After all, only a few hundred years have passed since Luo Feng joined the Virtual Universe Company.

Of course, the Lord of Chaos City also knew that Luo Feng's rapid growth must have been due to the acceleration of time, just like Lu Jin's; otherwise, it would be impossible to explain.

After thinking for a moment, the Lord of Chaos City sent an email to his disciple Guiyi, asking him to subtly mention it to Luo Feng's teacher, Zhenyan King.

It's not impossible for the head of a prestigious virtual universe company to directly take on geniuses as disciples.

But there's always a chance of something going wrong. What if Luo Feng doesn't even have the intention of becoming his disciple? How will he save face then?

It's better to hint at your intentions and let the young people come to you on their own.

Three days later, in the initial universe, within the Chaos Ruins.

"Luo Feng, would you be willing to become my disciple in name only?"

The Lord of Chaos City asked Luo Feng, who had rushed to Chaos City, in a deep voice.

"Disciple is willing!"

Luo Feng said respectfully.

Regardless of the Chaos City Lord's strength, just his identity alone makes him a worthy successor for Luo Feng.

However, this identity does not refer to the person in charge of the Virtual Universe Company.

Instead, the Lord of Chaos City is the senior brother of the Lord of Ice Peak, the grand-uncle of the Lord of Frost Kingdom, and also Lu Jin's grand-uncle.

He learned about this relationship from his wife, Xu Xin.

If he could become the disciple of the Lord of Chaos City, wouldn't he become Lu Jin's senior uncle in terms of seniority?

Luo Feng: Hehehe—!
The Lord of Chaos City nodded in satisfaction: "Luo Feng, from now on, you will be my disciple in name only. If you can pass through the Primordial Heavenly Mountain, which is at the Realm Lord level, I will accept you as my personal disciple."

Luo Feng immediately replied, "Yes, teacher!"
