Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 261 Soul-Tearing Pain
"Shh!"

With each high-frequency teleportation spanning tens of thousands of light-years, the Thousand Cloud Illusion Wave Palace quickly appeared in the inner region of the Chaotic Star Sea, only a trillion kilometers away from the Lord of Earth.

Upon seeing an unfamiliar, supreme treasure palace teleporting in, the Lord of Earth asked in a deep voice, "Who comes from here?"

Having put away the Thousand Cloud Illusion Wave Palace, Lu Jin appeared directly in the chaotic air currents, wearing the supreme blue armor formed from the World-Destroying Lotus, with three pairs of azure World-Destroying Divine Wings unfurled on his back and the God-Slaying Spear in his hand.

"The Heavenly Court, Lingxiao."

"With the God-Slaying Spear in my hand pointed directly at the Lord of Earth," Lu Jin said.

Since the war to establish his authority against the demon race, many powerful figures have fallen at the hands of the Heavenly Court, but he has rarely taken action.

I'm itching to test the mettle of the Earth Lord, a sixth-order universe lord, myself.

In addition, Lu Jin was also thinking of trying to see if he could use the Earth Lord to catch a big fish.

According to the intelligence collected by the human race, this Earth Lord from the Purple Moon Clan also has a teacher named 'Guang Sheng True God', who possesses the most powerful treasure armor and has reached the level of an eighth-order True God.

If we can fish it out, we can suppress it and then use the terrifying will of the black-patterned stone pillar to crush and kill it.

At that time, the Heavenly Court will not only obtain the supreme treasure armor on his body, but also be able to assemble the Heavenly Court's 'Four Heavenly Kings' by using the true god-level law divine sparks extracted from his corpse.

"The Lord of Lingxiao?!"

The Lord of Earth was startled and quickly looked around, fearing that he might follow in the footsteps of his junior brother, the Lord of Thunder Axe.

According to the divine incarnation of his fallen junior brother, Lord Lei Yue, when Lord Lingxiao suppressed him with a supreme treasure of the sealing type, he was accompanied by several powerful individuals capable of unleashing eighth-order legion combined attacks. Moreover, they possessed both material and soul combined attacks, so he had to be careful.

"Hand over the Desolate Mirror and all your treasures, and I will let you go."

As Lu Jin's voice rang out, with a thought, endless blue light bloomed, and the Ice Flame Domain condensed and took shape, instantly covering an area of ​​dozens of light-years.

Endless blue flames filled the surroundings, and the Lord of Earth felt a terrifying binding force acting on him.

'A supreme treasure of the ultimate realm?!'

Just as he was about to activate the supreme treasure of the Dust and Sand Domain to resist, he discovered that the boundless sand could not be condensed into a shape at all, and the Lord of Earth was greatly alarmed.

As fellow rulers of the universe, the fact that the domain manifested by the opponent's domain treasure rendered his own top-grade domain treasure completely ineffective undoubtedly meant that this was an extremely powerful domain treasure.

Immediately, the divine power avatar left by the Lord of Earth in the Purple Moon Holy Land notified his teacher, the 'Guang Sheng True God'.

Firstly, he was afraid that the Lord of Lingxiao's world ring might contain other powerful figures, and that he might suffer a setback.

Secondly, this Lord of Lingxiao actually possesses a supreme domain treasure, making him a real easy target. We can't let him get away.

It can be said that not only did Lu Jin covet the treasure of the Earth Lord, but the Earth Lord also coveted the treasure on Lu Jin's person.

"Lord of Lingxiao, do not think that a supreme domain treasure will make you invincible throughout the universe. Who will win and who will lose today is still unknown!"

A flash of earthy yellow light appeared in the hand of the Lord of Earth, and a towering hammer, resembling a rock and covered in cracks, appeared, looking like a low-quality product.

"After today, the supreme treasure, the Thousand-Pound Domain-Shattering Hammer, will surely belong to my Heavenly Court!"

Lu Jin glanced at the massive hammer in the other person's hand, which exuded an extremely heavy aura, and said with a confident expression.

"Hmph~, your supreme domain treasure, my Purple Moon Holy Land gladly accepts it!"

With a cold snort, the Lord of Earthly Deity ignited his divine power, and amidst the terrifying surge of divine power, he forcefully charged towards Lu Jin, defying the Ice Flame Domain.

"Evil multi-headed monster, die!"

Supernatural Power: With three heads and six arms activated, divine power burned fiercely, two heads and four arms materialized, and Lu Jin's world-destroying divine wings flapped behind him, transforming into a stream of light and rushing forward at top speed.

Lord of Earth: "."

You call me a multi-headed monster? Aren't you one too?

"die!"

With a roar, divine power surged, and a secret technique was activated. The Lord of Earth Kun swung the Thousand-Pound Shattering Domain Hammer, which shone with dazzling mysterious light, and smashed it down fiercely towards Lu Jin.

"Shh!"

With a flap of its six wings, it dodged the hammer blow that was enough to instantly kill an ordinary third-tier universe master. As the fifth layer of the God-Slaying Mystic Rune was activated, the God-Slaying Spear, covered with blood-red patterns, immediately exuded a terrifying and ferocious aura.

"Jinghong!"

A dazzling blue light suddenly appeared, and a blue spear light carrying a terrifying and ferocious aura shot out, piercing towards the Earth Lord who was severely restricted in his position within the Ice Flame Domain.

Ignoring him, the Lord of Earth and Kun swung the Thousand-Pound Shattering Domain Hammer, which was radiating intense mysterious light, down once again.

Since the opponent possesses a supreme domain treasure, I am definitely no match for them in terms of agility, so I shouldn't even think about dodging; I should just take the hit head-on.

Since the true god doesn't appear, neither physical nor spiritual attacks can pose a fatal threat to him.

"boom--"

In an instant, a blue spear light carrying overwhelming ferocity struck him, unleashing a violent roar.

The terrifying material attack, weakened by the supreme treasure armor derived from the Thousand-Pound Shattering Domain Hammer, then acted upon the divine body of the Lord of Earth.

At the same time, that malevolent energy also seeped into the divine body along with this material attack, affecting the soul of the Lord of Earth.

"what--"

The next moment, the Lord of Earth felt a fierce aura pierce his brain, and an unprecedented pain arose, as if an inexplicable force was crushing his soul. He couldn't help but let out a shrill howl.

With perfect genes, the strongest secret technique, the God-Slaying Spear restricted to the level of the ultimate treasure by the supreme rules, and the supernatural power of the first level of Three Heads and Six Arms, Lu Jin's physical attack has reached the top of the sixth rank.

The God-Slaying Spear's unique Mystic Runes make its soul attacks far superior to physical attacks, almost reaching the seventh-tier level.

Logically speaking, even a seventh-tier soul attack should not be able to harm the Earth Lord, who has a top-tier soul treasure guarding his soul, let alone a soul attack that is not even at the seventh tier.

Even if it can't break through the opponent's defenses, the Soul-Slaying Mystic Runes can still inflict soul-tearing pain, which is quite a good way to torment even the toughest opponents.

Lu Jin thought to himself as he thrust out his spear once more.

If it were Luo Feng, who had gone through the process of being recognized as a master by the Star Tower in the original work, such a true man with an iron will would probably be able to withstand the soul-tearing pain caused by the Killing Mystic Mark without even uttering a sound.

But for most other people, they wouldn't have this ability, no matter how long they live.

As the saying goes, "Strike while the iron is hot," and at this moment, Lu Jin's marksmanship was superb.

The most powerful secret technique, 'Surprising Beauty,' was repeatedly activated, one spear after another piercing the body of the Earth Lord, who was writhing on the ground in agony as excruciating pain swept over his soul.

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

The violent roar continued, and the divine body of the Lord of Earth was rapidly worn down.

But at this moment, the Lord of Earth, who was facing excruciating pain in his soul, was completely unaware of the damage to his divine body.

In his consciousness, there was only an unprecedented soul-wrenching pain, as if his consciousness was about to collapse at any moment.

"Shh!"

After another ten or so shots, the Lord of Earth finally managed to muster a sliver of consciousness and manifest a supreme palace treasure of the highest grade.

"Okay~"

Looking at the magnificent palace that suddenly appeared before him, a million kilometers high, Lu Jin clicked his tongue, knowing that he couldn't kill the other party.

The supreme treasure of the peak palace is synonymous with immunity to at least ninth-order material attacks. With his current top-tier sixth-order strength, he simply cannot break through the defense.

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, Lu Jin thought for a moment, and the Mountain and River Map shot out. It then instantly expanded to hundreds of millions of kilometers, forming a terrifying suction force, which easily absorbed the Earth Kun Palace manifested by the Earth Kun Lord into one of its spaces.

As sixth-order universe masters, it's not too difficult for them to suppress a top-grade palace treasure with a supreme treasure of the sealing type.

Moreover, the factors that constitute the strength of the two sides are different.

The Lord of Earth possesses sixth-tier strength, combining the strongest secret techniques with the most powerful treasure weapon.

Lu Jin possesses the strongest secret technique, combined with the most powerful treasure, and the supernatural power: the first level of the Three Heads and Six Arms, granting him the strength of a sixth-tier cultivator.

Whether a user can successfully suppress an opponent when activating a sealing treasure has nothing to do with the user's own level of secret techniques; it depends entirely on the user's own basic strength and the strength of the sealing treasure.

In terms of basic strength, Lu Jin, after activating the first level of Three Heads and Six Arms, is ten times stronger than his opponent.

With this tenfold advantage in basic strength, coupled with the fact that the Mountain and River Map can unleash the power of a supreme treasure, suppressing a supreme palace treasure is naturally a piece of cake.

Glancing at the top-tier domain treasure that had not yet fully emerged in the distance, Lu Jin put away the Ice Flame Domain and the God-Slaying Spear, and manifested the Thousand Cloud Illusion Wave Palace to wait quietly.

Now is not the time to kill the Lord of Earth. Lu Jin is thinking about whether he can use the Lord of Earth and his own treasures as bait to lure out the Great Sage True God of the Purple Moon Holy Land.

As for the hatred of the Purple Moon Holy Land?
never mind.

The powerful figures of the Purple Moon Holy Land cannot enter the Primal Universe, so why should they fear it?

In the landscape painting, within an ocean world, a magnificent, earthen-yellow palace floats above the sea.

Inside the palace's most precious treasure, the Earth Lord, with eight faces and twenty-four arms, collapsed limply onto the palace's floor tiles, utterly devoid of any semblance of dignity.

"Damn it! What kind of treasure is that?"

Recalling the excruciating pain that felt like his soul had been crushed, the Lord of Earth cursed with lingering fear.

It's terrifying that someone with the will of a true god could still be tortured to the point of rolling on the ground.

"They actually lost 3% of their divine body?"

Suddenly, the Lord of Earth's expression changed, and he exclaimed in disbelief.

In a brief exchange, he actually destroyed 3% of his divine body. Is the power of this Lord of the Sky really that great?
It's probably already at the seventh level, right?
Simply incredible!

It should be noted that, according to the information revealed by the demon race of the original universe, this Lord Lingxiao has not been a universe lord for many years; he is merely a newly promoted universe lord.

Lu Jin's strength was naturally at the top of the sixth rank, but how could the sharpness of the God-Slaying Spear be compared to ordinary supreme treasure weapons?
In addition, the sixth-tier peak is not far from the seventh tier, which led the Earth Lord to mistake Lu Jin for someone who had just entered the seventh tier.

In a pavilion in the Purple Moon Holy Land, two divine avatars of Purple Moon Clan members sat facing each other.

"Di Kun, why did you do that before?"

The Great Sage True God, with four faces and sixteen arms, asked the Lord of Earth, who had eight faces and twenty-four arms.

"Teacher, the Lord of Lingxiao possesses a treasured black spear covered in blood-red patterns. When attacked by it, it causes intense soul pain, which is why I lost my composure."

The divine incarnation of the Lord of Earth said bitterly.

The pain in his soul was so intense that even the divine power avatar left by the Lord of Earth in the Purple Moon Holy Land universe was writhing on the ground in agony.

After a pause, the Lord of Earth said with a grim expression, "Master, your disciple has been suppressed by the Lord of the Azure Sky."

"what?!"

Guang Sheng Zhen Shen's expression changed drastically.

As a later-stage True God, he had taken in many disciples throughout his life, but only the current Earth Lord and the fallen Thunder Axe Lord were able to enter the realm of Universe Lord.

The Holy Land's cosmic origins are limited and cannot support too many cosmic lords.

Currently, there are far too many quasi-universe masters waiting in line for advancement in the Holy Land, and his quasi-universe master disciples may not necessarily get a turn.

Di Kun also has no clones. If he were to perish, wouldn't he lose even one disciple of the Lord of the Universe?

Guang Sheng Zhen Shen said solemnly, "Don't worry, I'll be there soon. That thief won't get away!"

The Lord of Earth said, "Teacher, the Holy Land is far from the Chaotic Star Sea, and there are many dangerous places along the way. Please be careful when you travel."

Ling Xiao shouldn't be leaving so soon. There's a top-tier domain treasure in the Chaotic Star Sea that hasn't fully emerged yet; he probably won't take it ahead of time.

"That's good."

Guang Sheng Zhen Shen breathed a sigh of relief.

He was initially worried that the other party would simply leave, and that not only would the disciple Di Kun perish, but he himself would also miss out on the supreme treasure of the ultimate domain.

But since the other party is not leaving, the life of his own disciple is saved, and he can also obtain the supreme domain treasure.

Can't defeat the Lord of Lingxiao?
impossible!

Moreover, times have changed.

Millions of eons ago, he obtained a new great opportunity, and the outside world's understanding of his strength was already outdated!

The cosmic sea, the dangerous place and the chaotic star sea.

"Rumble--"

"Whoosh whoosh-"

The power of the treasure was fully revealed, and a massive amount of extremely dense seawater surged, with a deep blue river about ten million kilometers long, shimmering with endless starlight, slowly emerging from the sea.

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, a divine force shot out and disappeared into the river of starlight.

"Shh!"

The recognition process was completed quickly, and then the starlight river shrank rapidly, transforming into a bright blue starlight ribbon that flew into the majestic white jade cloud-patterned palace not far away.

"The 'Star River,' a top-tier treasure of the realm, is not bad."

Lu Jin nodded and put the Star River into his external storage space.

Don't underestimate top-grade domain treasures. Even though the Chaos City Lord is a fifth-tier top-level universe master, the clone he uses in the Primal Secret Realm only uses top-grade domain treasures.

It's no exaggeration to say that even if you sold all the treasures of most of the universe masters in the primordial universe, you still wouldn't be able to buy a single piece of 'Star River'.

"Speaking of which, it's been six days already. Is Old Man Guang Sheng still not coming?"

While overjoyed, Lu Jin couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

While top-tier treasures are certainly impressive, they are utterly incomparable to the mighty fish clad in the supreme armor of the Guang Sheng True God.

Leaving aside that supreme treasure armor, which eighth-order true god doesn't possess a top-tier treasure of the domain, soul, or palace type?

"Wait three more days, and if it doesn't bite, we'll stop waiting."

After a moment's thought, Lu Jin made up his mind.

Those who are at the level of a universe master or higher will inevitably leave behind divine power avatars in their lair.

When he suppressed the Lord of Earth, the Great Sage God must have already learned of it.

The other party has no reason not to come, given the life of their disciple and the supreme domain treasure they possess.

Moreover, there were nine days in total, which was enough time for the other party to arrive even if they set off from the distant Purple Moon Holy Land universe.
