Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 256 A Strikes from the Heavenly Court, The Enlightenment Diagram of the Origin Laws

However, Lu Jin didn't need to treat the mountain dwellers like thieves.

Aside from seeking revenge, this old man was utterly without desires.

Even if the Heavenly Court's development speed is unreasonable, the Mountain-Sitting Guest would definitely be more than happy to see it this way.

The more freaks appear, the greater his chances of succeeding in his revenge.

"You know about the Xuan Sha Tian's Will Training Ground, right?"

Lu Jin asked.

Luo Feng nodded: "I understand."

Lu Jin suggested, "Go there and hone your skills whenever you have time. There's a hundred-fold time acceleration at the start, and recently they've set up many Time Palaces with even higher acceleration rates."

From now on, when you create your own laws, just sit in the Willpower Training Ground and hone your willpower while creating your laws.”

Because of his influence, Luo Feng's trials were significantly less than in the original work, such as the Golden Horned Beast disaster and the space adventurers. It was necessary for him to go to the Willpower Training Ground to properly hone his willpower.

Otherwise, even if Luo Feng were still able to recognize the Star Tower as his master, the suffering he would endure would certainly far exceed that in the original story.

Of course, if one can hone one's will over a long period of time and arrive at the Star Tower area relatively late, it wouldn't be too difficult for Luo Feng to successfully recognize the Star Tower as his master.

After all, when Luo Feng went to the Star Tower in the original novel, he wasn't in his complete form at the Realm Lord stage.

Luo Feng asked in horror, "Brother Jin, are you a devil?"

Under accelerated time, while enduring the impact and tempering of one's will, one must also create secret techniques. Is this something a human can do?
Lu Jinyi said earnestly, "Young man, if you don't work hard when you're young, are you going to wait until you're old to work hard?"

"I can live for another 300 million years."

Luo Feng retorted.

The Golden Horned Beast is Luo Feng's true form, so his lifespan is calculated according to the Golden Horned Beast's lifespan, not according to the lifespan of his Earthling clone or the special life form Youhai clone.

The Golden Horned Beast now possesses 30 times the life genes, and its lifespan is also 30 times that of an ordinary World Lord-level life form, amounting to 30000 epochs.

"30000 epochs? Ha~"

Lu Jin smiled and said, "Xu Xin is a Universe Venerable. With a strong woman and a weak man, it's hard for the husband to maintain his authority! Young man, are you feeling a bit powerless?"

Luo Feng: "."

After a short gathering, Luo Feng embarked on his journey to gain experience on the battlefields beyond the region.

'Luo Lao Er is about to take off, I need to pick up the pace too.'

Lu Jin thought to himself.

Don't underestimate Luo Feng just because he's currently only a Realm Lord at the 18th level of the Tongtian Bridge. He's a top-tier cosmic overlord with extraordinary combat power, and the difference between the two is enormous.

But Lu Jin knew that if he dared to relax or slack off, he might be overtaken by Luo Feng if he wasn't careful.

Having always been the eldest brother, Lu Jin had no desire to become the youngest.

The Netherworld God Kingdom, with its supreme palace treasure, the Thousand Cloud Illusion Wave Palace, stands above the vast sea of ​​blood.

"This time, there are two targets: the Lord of Thorns of the Northern Frontier Alliance and the Lord of Breaking the Sky of the Miserable Clan."

Both are flesh-and-blood beings with souls, but neither should possess a top-tier soul treasure. You are using ghost warriors to kill them.

Inside the Thousand Clouds Illusion Wave Palace, Lu Jin spoke to Hong'er and the others.

With a slight nod, Hong'er and her six companions manifested the Mother Nest and released 30,000 ghost warriors.

Within the primordial universe, the attack power that a single consciousness can unleash is at most at the peak of the sixth rank.

By controlling 30,000 ghost warriors to unleash a combined arcane attack, one can reach the power of the seventh tier, which even exceeds the upper limit of the top sixth tier.

A sixth-tier top-level soul attack would require at least a top-tier soul treasure for even a universe master to withstand.

The Lord of Piercing the Sky and the Lord of Breaking the Sky, the former is at the third rank and the latter is only at the second rank.

Unless you're incredibly lucky, you're not qualified to possess such a treasure.

Subsequently, the Blood God Child, who was in charge of searching for treasures in the Kunlun Mirror within the Divine Kingdom, used the coordinates detected by the Heavenly God Temple to switch to a remote detection perspective and teleported the Thousand Cloud Illusion Wave Palace there.

The primordial universe, the Northern Frontier Alliance, the territory of the Jianwei tribe.

The Jianwei Clan is one of the many powerful races in the primordial universe, and also a member of the super-powerful Northern Frontier Alliance.

Lord of Thorns, the greatest being of the Sharp-Headed Clan, and the only Universe Lord in the history of the Sharp-Headed Clan.

In the boundless starry sky, a majestic, pale blue palace shrouded in endless clouds suddenly appeared.

With his gaze spanning across space, Lu Jin, inside the Thousand Cloud Illusion Wave Palace, saw a giant continent with a diameter of several light-years floating in the starry sky tens of thousands of light-years away.

This colossal continent, several light-years in diameter, is the sacred land of the powerful Jianwei Clan, known as the Jianwei Continent.

"Shh!"

The next moment, the Thousand Cloud Illusion Wave Palace disappeared, and after a series of teleportations, it appeared in the sky above the edge of the Jianwei Continent.

"Who goes there? What brings you here?!"

As soon as the Thousand Cloud Illusion Wave Palace appeared, a loud shout came from the temple in the very center of the Sharp Peak Continent, and instantly spread throughout the entire Sharp Peak Continent.

"Heavenly Court, come and collect the corpse."

Lu Jin said in a cold voice.

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Piercing the Heavens was both shocked and enraged.

He had heard a little about the Heavenly Court; it was a newly rising force among the top races, the human race, and it was quite powerful.

But the Lord of Piercing the Sky was completely bewildered.

Since becoming the master of the universe, he has rarely been active in the outside world, has made very few enemies, and has never had any grudges with the Heavenly Court.

Is this Heavenly Court so domineering that it takes the lives of non-human universe masters at the drop of a hat?

"I am a member of the Northern Frontier Alliance. Your Heavenly Court should think this through!"

In a moment of quick thinking, the Lord of the Sky pulled the coattails of the Northern Frontier Alliance.

The response to the Lord of Thorns was no longer from Lu Jin, but from the combined attack of the Seven Legion Secret Techniques unleashed by Hong'er and her seven companions controlling the Ghost Warriors.

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

Divine power surged within the Thousand Cloud Illusion Wave Palace. Under the control of Hong'er and the other six, the divine power of 210,000 ghost warriors burned, and a dense barrage of ethereal divine power attacks shot out from the majestic palace gates at a speed far exceeding the speed of light, heading towards the temple at the very center of the Sharp Continent.

In an instant, 210,000 ethereal divine power attacks landed precisely on the high-level treasure palace where the Lord of Piercing Heaven was located.

"boom--"

In an instant, a terrifying soul storm swept across the area, and the souls of the many sharp-headed, scale-covered, and spike-covered creatures around the temple were instantly annihilated.

The Lord of Thorns within the Palace of Supreme Treasures felt an extremely terrifying soul attack descend upon him. The high-level soul treasure that guarded his soul seemed to be useless. He then completely lost consciousness, and his soul was annihilated.

"Shh!"

Lu Jin teleported with the Thousand Cloud Illusion Wave Palace, and a suction force formed, drawing in the high-level palace treasures that had become ownerless below.

Then, Lu Jin activated his divine power and shouted: "The Lord of Piercing the Heavens, your name 'Piercing the Heavens' is extremely disrespectful to the Heavenly Court, and you have ignored the Heavenly Court's warnings and refused to change your name."

Today, the Heavenly Court has executed him; may all beings in the universe take this as a warning.

Having said that, the Blood God Child, who was in charge of the Kunlun Mirror in the Netherworld God Kingdom, sent the Thousand Cloud Illusion Wave Palace back to the God Kingdom with a thought.

Half a minute later, in the primordial universe, in the territory of the powerful Miserly Clan.

Above the core continent of the Qianlao tribe, Lu Jin, having put away the ordinary treasure palace containing the corpse of the Lord of Breaking the Heavens, spoke in a booming voice that resounded throughout the entire Qianlao continent: "The Lord of Breaking the Heavens, his name 'Breaking the Heavens' is extremely disrespectful to the Heavenly Court, and he has ignored the Heavenly Court's warnings and refused to change his name."

Today, the Heavenly Court has executed him; may all beings in the universe take this as a warning.

Upon hearing the sound, countless heads on the frugal continent below, with protruding fangs, covered in blackish-brown hair like steel needles, and possessing four hooves and two tails, froze in their panic.

Just because the title of the Great Lord of Breaking the Heavens contains the word "Breaking the Heavens," the Heavenly Court wants to kill my clan's Lord of Breaking the Heavens?
Isn't that a bit too domineering?
And couldn't the Heavenly Court have informed our clan before taking action?
Changing the name isn't something we can't discuss!

Clearly, neither the Lord of the Broken Heaven, who was already completely finished, nor the Miserly Clan knew that the Heavenly Court was going to execute those who had shown great disrespect to the Heavenly Court.

The primordial universe was so vast, and there were so many powerful forces.

When other races pay attention to the human race, they focus on the Hong Alliance and generally don't pay attention to any particular faction within the human race.

And races and forces that originally had no enmity with the human race would be even less likely to pay attention to the statement of a certain faction within the human race.

Within the Netherworld God Kingdom, Lu Jin was sorting through his spoils of war.

The spoils were not many.

The Lord of Thorns, who resembles a humanoid hedgehog, dropped one high-level treasure each of the domain, soul, and palace categories, one top-level treasure weapon and one suit of armor, plus five ordinary high-level treasures.

After the corpse was decomposed, Lu Jin obtained many Universe Lord-level Life Source Crystals, a Bloodline Source Crystal with more than nine thousand times the genetic value, and most importantly, a Spacetime Law Godhead.

The Lord of Breaking the Sky, who looks like a honey badger with two tails, dropped a top-tier treasure and a suit of armor, a top-grade ordinary palace treasure, a high-grade realm treasure, and six other treasures at the ordinary treasure level.

After its body was decomposed, compared with the Lord of Thorns, due to the smaller size of its divine body, it had far fewer Universe Lord-level Life Source Crystals, and the gene multiplier of the Bloodline Source Crystal was only one thousand times.

Subsequently, Lu Jin stored these treasures in the treasury of the Spirit Treasure Hall, and summoned two celestial generals again to bestow upon them the divine status of the laws of time and space.

Including these two spacetime law divine sparks, the number of universe lords in the Heavenly Court has reached forty-two so far.

Zi Ni Chang, Hong Er and the other seven, the ten palace masters of the Heavenly Court including the Lord of Yin Yue, and the twenty-four cosmic lord-level heavenly generals who were nurtured by Lu Jin using the Law Godhood, but were not given high-multiplier bloodline source crystals.

During his three-year treasure hunt aboard the spaceship, Lu Jin not only sought treasures but also encountered the Lord of the Universe.

When encountering a lone or only a few Universe Lords, Lu Jin naturally wouldn't be polite. He would directly teleport Hong'er and the others over and secretly use a combined attack from a legion of Ghost Warriors with the power of the seventh level and eighth rank.

Although some of the targets were clones and their corpses could not be extracted into a Law Godhead by stuffing them into the Demon Refining Pot, Lu Jinxin still managed to cultivate quite a few Universe Lords.

Moreover, because it was a sneak attack, and most of the universe lords who were hunted did not possess top-grade soul treasures.

They had no idea who had killed them; the divine incarnations left behind in other places vanished before they could even react.

This meant that although the Heavenly Court had killed many Universe Lords within the cosmic vessel, most forces were unaware that the Heavenly Court was hunting them. As for the Universe Lord who possessed a top-grade soul treasure, the combined attack of the Ghost Warriors' legion failed to instantly kill him; the news was relayed by his divine avatar.

Or perhaps they possess a secret technique to create clones, thus escaping being killed and having their information leaked.

However, these two are ultimately only a minority. The Heavenly Court has become enemies with the forces it belongs to, but this does not affect the attitudes and opinions of other forces in the Cosmic Sea towards the Heavenly Court.

Murder for treasure is a very common occurrence in the cosmic ocean.

As long as they don't kill everyone they see or target them, those who are not involved will not meddle.

While Lu Jin was sorting through his spoils, the Heavenly Temple also launched its attack.

During these three years, the Temple of Gods did not sit idly by.

It not only collected various races of life from the primordial universe that had a certain degree of fame, but whose names were disrespectful to the Heavenly Court.

They also used alien servants to scatter divine tokens throughout the entire primordial universe.

At this moment, in the vast star kingdoms hanging high in the sky above the Great Luo Heaven and the Xuanhuang Heaven, the light of the divine kingdom's teleportation frequently shone.

For this strike, Zi Zhenfeng, the master of the Heavenly God Temple, mobilized five hundred celestial generals with the strength of cosmic overlords and one hundred thousand celestial soldiers with the strength of kings.

Five hundred overlord-level celestial generals strike down those who are extremely disrespectful and whose strength reaches the level of a king or above, either acting alone or in groups of three.

Solo strike missions target individuals below the High Venerable level, while three-person strike missions target High Universe Venerables or Universe Overlords.

A hundredfold increase in life genes, a hundredfold increase in amplitude secret techniques, the ultimate techniques of the cosmic overlord, top-grade high-level treasure armor and weapons, and top-grade ordinary treasures of the domain, soul, and palace categories.

With this configuration, aside from a few who have already reached the level of universe masters, every heavenly general in the Heavenly Court is second only to the top universe overlords in strength.

The supreme ordinary realm treasures restrict opponents from escaping, while the supreme ordinary palace treasures can also serve as sealing treasures. When the three celestial generals act together, they are enough to kill and seal most of the universe overlords.

As for the 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers who have been granted the title of King, they would be divided into teams of ten, targeting those below the rank of King.

In addition, throughout the entire operation, all personnel sent a wisp of their consciousness into the virtual universe.

So that the temple can respond quickly in case of unexpected situations.

It's like when a Heavenly Soldier of the Kings is attacking a target, he encounters an Immortal of the Kings, or even a Universe Venerable, whose strength surpasses his own.

The Heavenly Temple will then dispatch celestial generals to quickly reach the scene of the incident and suppress the accident via teleportation within the divine kingdom.

If you encounter the Lord of the Universe, report it to Lu Jin, and the Heavenly Court will dispatch its legions to attack the Seven Clouds Lord, whose power has exceeded limits.

Anyway, with the Immortal Transformation Palace around, and since treasures below the level of major treasures aren't worth much, the death of a heavenly soldier wouldn't be a significant loss.

As for the Heavenly Generals, their treasures are worth a lot of Treasure Points, but each Heavenly General carries a Kunlun Token, which allows Lu Jin to bring Hong'er and the others there as soon as possible.

Return to the Great Luo Heaven, inside the Hall of Ascension.

Just as Lu Jin was about to continue his cultivation, he saw Zi Nishang, who was refining a treasure beside him, suddenly have a flash of light at the mouth of the Qiankun Cauldron in front of her, and a scroll exuding the pressure of a powerful treasure flew out of the cauldron.

Judging from the overwhelming aura emanating from this treasure, it is an ordinary treasure.

As a top-tier, high-level treasure refiner, Zi Ni Chang would not normally refine ordinary treasures.

But this scroll is no ordinary treasure.

The scroll, with an aspect ratio of 3:2 and blue scrolls at both ends, features a blue vortex in the center, emanating the energy of the fundamental laws of water. Surrounding the blue vortex is a hazy, chaotic atmosphere.

To the naked eye, the azure vortex in the painting was constantly rotating clockwise, while the hazy, chaotic airflow around the vortex was also surging continuously.

It's as if this isn't a painting, but a real scene.

"Has the Enlightenment Treasure been successfully created?"

Lu Jin asked Zi Nishang.

Undoubtedly, for cultivators who are just beginning to understand the laws, the Chaos Stele in the Chaos City of the Initial Universe is a valuable item.

The Heavenly Court didn't create the Chaos Stele, not because it lacked the capability, but because there were better things inside the Inheritance Tower.

"Yes, judging solely from the perspective of comprehending the fundamental laws of water, the effects of this Water Enlightenment Diagram far surpass those of the Chaos Stele."

Zi Ni Chang nodded and said.

Within the Heavenly Court's Inheritance Tower, there are numerous secret techniques for refining treasures that lead to enlightenment.

However, although this thing may not seem to be of high quality, it is actually extremely difficult to refine, far surpassing other types of treasures of the same level.

Since the original focus was not on this aspect, a lot of effort was wasted and a lot of materials were wasted before it was finally successfully refined.

Of course, this was also because she chose to use better materials to refine the Enlightenment Diagram instead of directly copying it, in order to make it more effective.

The specific effects of the Enlightenment Diagram are linked to the affinity of the materials used in refining treasures with the laws of nature.

In the primordial universe, if we were to say which material has the highest affinity with the corresponding law, it would undoubtedly be the Godhead of the Law, which, after being refined, can directly grasp the law of that system.

This Enlightenment Diagram of the Fundamental Laws of Water was crafted by Zi Nishang using the divine essence of the laws of water as the main material, combined with various water-based treasure-refining materials.

"I'll try it and see if it works."

As he spoke, Lu Jin separated a wisp of ethereal divine power and merged it into the 'Enlightenment Diagram of the Law of Water'.

Instantly, Lu Jin felt a wealth of profound mysteries about the fundamental laws of water flowing out from the swirling azure vortex on the scroll, flooding into his mind in the most exquisite way.

Of course, he had already comprehended the fundamental laws of water, and the profound mysteries of the laws that flooded his mind were all things he had mastered.

After carefully sensing it, Lu Jin's wisp of ethereal divine power withdrew from the painting.

"It's alright. It's somewhat similar to the place of inheritance of the Ancestral God Sect, but not as intelligent."

Lu Jin nodded in approval, then asked, "I see that this Enlightenment Diagram has a space inside that stores water-based immortal crystals. How much energy does it consume? Will the effectiveness of the Enlightenment Diagram decrease after repeated contemplation?"

Refining the Law Godhood and ascending to the heavens in one step has the flaw of being rejected by the fundamental laws of the universe, making it impossible to comprehend the laws in the future.

However, this deficiency does not exist when mastering the corresponding law with the assistance of the Original Law Enlightenment Diagram.

Zi Nishang said, "The efficacy will not diminish, but at any given time, this Enlightenment Diagram of the Law of Water can only transmit the mysteries of the Law of Water to one life."

Maintaining the Enlightenment Diagram requires one Water-type Immortal Crystal per second.

"One Immortal Crystal per second?"

Lu Jin raised an eyebrow.

Immortal Crystals are a strategic resource for the race. If officially exchanged for Cosmic Coins, one Immortal Crystal can be exchanged for 100 million Cosmic Coins.

There are 86400 seconds in a day. At 100 million Cosmic Coins per second, that's 864 billion Cosmic Coins per day, which is equal to 0.0864 Mixed Yuan Units.

One unit of Immortal Crystal can sustain the comprehension of the Water Enlightenment Diagram for more than 11 days. Most beings below the Immortal level simply cannot afford it, but it is quite cheap for the geniuses of various forces.

"Can Divine Source Liquid and Immortal-grade Life Source Crystals be used as substitutes?"

Lu Jin asked.

Zi Nishang shook her head: "No, it requires energy of the same attribute to maintain the operation of the Law Enlightenment Diagram."

Both Divine Source Liquid and Immortal-grade Life Source Crystal can replenish the divine power of any attribute immortal god.

However, they do not possess clearly defined attributes; they are merely transformed into divine power that suits the attributes of immortal gods after being absorbed by them.

"Alright then~".

Lu Jin nodded.

Immortal crystals are not exactly rare, and different individuals condense immortal crystals at different speeds.

For example, the efficiency of the Immortal-grade Thousand Vine Star-Eating Grass in condensing Immortal Crystals is countless times that of an ordinary human race's initial-level Immortal Military Lord.

In terms of energy output, the two methods—using Star-Eating Grass to condense Immortal Crystals and using the Demon-Refining Pot to decompose the main vine of Star-Eating Grass to obtain Immortal-grade Life Source Crystals—produce the same amount of Immortal Crystals.

"By the way, how many of each type of Enlightenment Diagram can exist?"

Thinking of the maximum number of Primal Spirit Tea Trees and Primal Spirit Peach Trees, Lu Jin asked Zi Nishang.

The primordial will of the universe, that old man, even restricts tea and peaches; there's no reason he wouldn't restrict the more powerful Law Enlightenment Diagram.

"Uh, I don't know."

Zi Nishang choked for a moment and shook her head.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Jin said, "Let's refine the Enlightenment Diagram of the Law of Water for now, finalize the most powerful top-grade template, and then activate the automatic treasure refining mode of the Qiankun Cauldron to see how many can exist at most."

It's not just the Enlightenment Diagram of the Water Origin Law; the Enlightenment Diagrams of the other seven lower-level attribute origin laws and the two higher-level origin law enlightenment diagrams are also within the Heavenly Court's expected refining range.

To expand further, there are also eight fusion law enlightenment diagrams corresponding to the eight great beast god paths, and law enlightenment diagrams corresponding to the true god level.

"Ah."

Zi Ni Chang nodded.

On another plane of the virtual universe, inside the Void Gold Temple.

"Master, an email has been received."

The voice of the intelligent life form rang in the ears of the Lord of False Gold.

"Who sent this? What's the message?"

"The Lord of False Gold asked."

"It was sent by the Lord of Light, the Lord of the Heavenly God Palace of the Heavenly Court. As for what it is, well, you can see for yourself, Master."

As the intelligent life form spoke, a projection screen appeared in front of the Lord of False Gold.

After quickly reading the email, the Lord of False Gold couldn't help but turn pale.

Did you make a mistake!
Lao Tzu's Chaos Stele of the Heavenly Ruins has stood in the Chaos City of the Initial Universe for countless years. You want me to change the name of the Chaos Stele?
Don't I, the Lord of False Gold, have any pride?
According to the Lord of False Gold, the most important things in life are face and substance.

If we can compensate for the loss of face with something substantial, then let's change the name. It's not a big deal anyway.

But you didn't even offer any response, and all you did was send an email in a tone that sounded like you were giving me a command. Isn't that just a slap in the face?
