Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 262 The Divine God Guang Sheng, Fierce Battle

The next day.

"Shh!"

Beyond the chaotic stars, a figure over 90,000 kilometers tall, with four faces and sixteen arms, clad in crimson-patterned white-gold battle armor, teleported in.

In an instant, the gaze of the Great Sage True God locked onto a majestic white jade palace with cloud patterns floating above the surface of the Chaotic Star Sea.

Immediately, the Great Sage God felt a sense of relief.

Hurry up, and we finally arrived before the other party left.

Through the divine avatar left in the Holy Land universe, he learned that his disciple Dikun had not been killed, which was undoubtedly good news.

"Are you coming?"

Sensing a powerful aura emerging from beyond the Chaotic Star Sea, Lu Jin, inside the Thousand Cloud Illusion Wave Palace, opened his eyes and gazed at the sixteen-armed figure that had teleported in.

"Shh!"

The next moment, Lu Jin put away the Thousand Cloud Illusion Wave Palace, and with a flash, he teleported to a place tens of millions of kilometers away from the Guang Sheng True God.

Eighth-order True God?

He wanted to test his opponent's mettle!

The eighth-order true gods of the cosmic sea can be roughly divided into three types.

One type is like the giant axe, who possesses no supreme treasures but has the strength of an eighth-level master solely through an eighth-level secret technique.

If an eighth-order True God like this could obtain a supreme treasure, their strength could quickly soar to the ninth-order True God level.

Another type is an eighth-tier true god who possesses the most powerful and precious weapon.

His secret technique was originally at the seventh level, but with the enhancement of the most powerful and precious weapon, he possessed the strength of the eighth level.

The last type is an eighth-tier true god who possesses the most powerful and precious armor.

Its secret technique is at the seventh level, and its attack power is about ten times lower than the previous two eighth-level True God techniques.

However, the Supreme Treasure Armor can reduce material attacks to one millionth of their original strength, and its material defense capability is ten times higher than the previous two types of eighth-tier true gods. With this addition and subtraction, its overall strength can also reach the eighth tier.

For beings with strength at or below the seventh rank, the first two pose roughly the same threat, but the last one poses the least threat.

After all, a player of rank seven or below can never win against an rank eight, regardless of whether the opponent has a supreme treasure armor or not.

However, the third type of eighth-order true god's secret technique only has the power of the seventh order, which is a level lower than the previous two types of eighth-order true gods, so the threat is naturally greatly reduced.

As long as one is skilled at escaping and the other party does not possess any high-grade sealing treasures, one can make a quick getaway.

According to the intelligence data collected by the human race, this Guang Sheng Lao Deng is the third type of 'low attack and high defense' eighth-order true god.

The power of a seventh-order secret technique is only one order higher than his own, but Lu Jin is not afraid at all.

After all, he has now cultivated the first level of the divine power: the Law of Heaven and Earth, and his divine body is over 900,000 kilometers long. His health bar is a thousand times longer than before, so it is no exaggeration to call him a super tank.

Aside from the factor of the sealed treasure, he couldn't beat his opponent, but even without cheating by using the 'teleportation blood pack', his opponent wouldn't be able to take him down quickly.

"Guang Sheng, you old dog, hand over the Supreme Armor."

Clad in azure apocalyptic armor, with azure apocalyptic wings unfurling behind him, Lu Jin, whose divine body was reduced to a size of 90,000 kilometers, pointed the God-Slaying Spear directly at him.

Possessing the ability to create a false form, Lu Jin could suppress the size of his divine body without affecting his own strength. Naturally, he would not directly reveal that his divine body was over 900,000 kilometers tall.

"Junior is arrogant!"

Guang Sheng Zhen Shen was furious. He had seen arrogant people before, but he had never seen anyone so arrogant.

Anyone who didn't know better would think that the Lord of Lingxiao was a true god, and that he was the master of the universe!
The next moment, the divine power of the Guang Sheng True God surged around him. As he activated the supreme treasure of the realm, the 'Bright Light Realm', endless white light bloomed, and countless white light spots radiating the meaning of light and holiness instantly filled an area of ​​dozens of light-years.

"The treasure of the realm is indeed impressive, but from now on it belongs to my Heavenly Court!"

Lu Jin didn't hold back his praise. With a thought, he poured his divine power into the supreme treasure of the domain, the Karmic Fire Lotus. Endless brilliant blue light burst forth, and the Ice Flame Domain, covering an area of ​​nearly a hundred light-years, instantly materialized.

The moment the Ice Flame Domain materialized, the Light Domain activated by the Great Sage True God was like a dream, easily shattered and vanished.

Although the cosmic sea is outside the primordial universe, it is still influenced by the rules of the primordial universe.

The life level of a true god is higher than that of a cosmic lord, but under the suppression of the original cosmic rules, the divine power of a true god is only equivalent to that of a cosmic lord with perfect genes.

It can be said that, under the suppression of the original universe's rules, aside from factors such as the total amount of divine power and the speed of recovery, Guang Sheng, as a true god, has the same level of divine power as Lu Jin.

With the same divine power intensity, the supreme treasure of the peak realm, the Bright Light Realm, is naturally far from being a match for the supreme treasure of the strongest realm, the Karmic Fire Lotus. The Holy Light Realm is directly suppressed by the Ice Flame Realm.

"Everyone outside thinks I, Guang Sheng, am just a mere eighth-order True God. You, a junior, possess a supreme domain treasure, so it's worth it for me to reveal my true strength!"

The four faces of the Great Sage True God revealed a sinister smile. With a thought, accompanied by the terrifying pressure of the supreme treasure, a platinum cone tens of thousands of kilometers long, covered with mysterious patterns and filled with endless light instantly materialized.

It wasn't that he couldn't reveal his strength, but rather that he wanted to appear weak to the enemy.

Thinking of taking advantage of the information gap, he planned to find an easy target who possessed an extremely powerful treasure, and then launch a surprise attack to acquire another extremely powerful treasure.

After all, there are many cosmic lords in the cosmic sea who possess supreme treasures.

"The most powerful treasure?!"

Upon seeing this, Lu Jin was taken aback, feeling both pleased and worried.

To his delight, the fish that had taken the bait was very fat, not only possessing the most powerful and precious armor, but also a most powerful and precious telekinetic weapon, making it even fatter than he had expected.

The worry is that this fish is too fat; there's a possibility it might break the fishing rod.

Possessing the most powerful and precious armor, Guang Sheng Lao Deng is an eighth-tier true god with low attack and high defense.

Now that another supreme and precious telekinetic weapon has arrived, even if the level of the secret technique remains unchanged, its attack power will definitely rise to a new level, reaching the eighth tier.

With an attack power at the eighth tier level, plus the increased damage reduction from the Supreme Treasure Armor, its overall strength can reach the ninth tier level.

If this guy puts in a little more effort, after obtaining the most powerful and precious weapon, he can improve his secret techniques by comprehending the secret runes.

While he may not have reached the level of a tenth-tier true god, it is possible that he already possesses the top-tier strength of a ninth-tier being.

But when it comes to fishing, don't be a coward, just go for it!

Even if the fish that takes the bait is a huge whale, Lu Jin will still find a way to catch it.

Being three levels below your opponent means you'll be instantly killed, but that's not always the case, and it doesn't apply to Lu Jin either.

A difference of three levels in strength will result in instant death, provided that the opponent is three levels stronger. This only applies to the opponent's attack strength being three levels stronger; the strength increase from defense cannot be taken into account.

For example, a tenth-tier true god who has been forged by the supreme treasure armor cannot kill a seventh-tier true god in one move.

This is because the strength of this tenth-order true god was built upon the supreme treasure armor, while the power of his secret techniques was only at the ninth order.

The power of a ninth-order material attack is naturally insufficient to instantly kill a seventh-order true god.

Furthermore, the fact that being three levels below the required level would result in being instantly killed by the opponent is also related to the fact that the opponent's arcane power exceeded the limit of the user's own treasure armor.

All the treasure armors have a limit. Once the limit is exceeded, the damage reduction effect of the treasure armor will drop significantly, causing the effect that could originally be reduced to one ten-thousandth to one ten-thousandth, one thousandth, or even lower.

The damage reduction effect of the Supreme Armor was drastically reduced, resulting in extremely high actual damage. Combined with the opponent's already immense arcane power, this led to the situation where the opponent was instantly killed even when only three levels apart.

However, this phenomenon will not occur with Lu Jin. As a top-grade, supreme treasure armor, the limit value of the God-Slaying Armor is frighteningly high. There is absolutely no true god in the current universe sea who can reach it.

In other words, no matter who the opponent is, the World Destroyer Armor's ability to reduce material attacks to one millionth of their original power will not diminish.

With a constant damage reduction of one million times, plus a super-large divine body spanning over 900,000 kilometers, even if this Guang Sheng Lao Deng possesses the most powerful and precious psychic weapon, he still can't withstand it!

"Junior, suffer death!"

"call out!"

With a fierce shout, the Great Sage God unleashed his divine power, activated his secret technique, and the 'Radiant Holy Abyss Cone' that appeared before him shone with a dazzling platinum light, before transforming into a white light tornado that rapidly tore through the air and attacked.

"tumultuous--"

With a thought, Lu Jin activated his supernatural power: Three Heads and Six Arms. As his immense divine power burned, the Ice Flame Domain formed a powerful binding force, which was applied to the Guang Sheng True God and the white light tornado that broke through the air.

Immediately afterwards, the 'Void Ice Lotus' technique, perfected to its strongest level, was activated, and a large number of ice crystal lotuses instantly bloomed around the Great Sage True God.

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

The next moment, a terrifying chain of ice explosions formed, the blooming ice crystal lotus shattered, and the terrifying power passed through the supreme treasure armor 'Holy Sacrifice Sun Armor' and reached the divine body of the Great Sage True God.

"Hmph~, junior, are you trying to tickle me?"

After being hit by a wave of ice explosions, the Great Sage God said disdainfully.

Although he is different from the true gods of the three reincarnation eras of the current universe because he is an 'ancient relic of the holy land', his small universe has long since collapsed.

Once the divine body is damaged, it can no longer recover by drawing energy from the miniature universe through the Heart of the True God; it can only replenish itself by absorbing external energy.

However, he possesses the supreme and most powerful armor, the 'Holy Sacrifice Sun Armor'. With physical attacks reduced to one millionth of their original strength, such attacks are nothing more than a scratch to him.

"boom--"

The white tornado hurtled through the air at lightning speed. Although Lu Jin had activated the secret patterns of his three pairs of world-destroying divine wings to dodge with all his might, he was still unable to completely evade it. The white tornado struck his divine body, causing a violent roar.

The terrifying substance, weakened by the World-Destroying Armor, was then transferred to Lu Jin's divine body.

"Shh~, Guang Sheng, you old dog, you're useless too!"

Noticing that the damage to his divine body was only a tiny bit, estimating to be only one in ten million, Lu Jin couldn't help but say with disdain.

Although that's what he said, Lu Jin was secretly surprised.

This deity has cultivated to the first level of the Dharma Heaven and Earth, increasing his divine body height tenfold and his total divine power a thousandfold.

Without the thousandfold divine power brought by the celestial phenomena, the opponent could kill one ten-thousandth of his divine body in a single move, even while wearing the World-Destroying Divine Armor that reduces damage by a million times.

For a true god with extremely fast attack speed, if one move can destroy even one ten-thousandth of his divine body, then it won't take long to kill his true self.

"There will be times when you cry."

Guang Sheng Zhen Shen took Lu Jin's stubbornness to heart and didn't take it to heart. He used his divine power to manipulate the Radiant Abyss Cone to continue the attack.

"Hmph~, old dog, take this shot!" Lu Jin transformed into a streak of light and charged forward. With the thrust of his Ice Flame Domain, his speed was extremely fast. As he activated the Killing Mystic Runes, he unleashed his strongest secret technique, 'Surprising Swan,' at the Great Sage True God.

"boom--"

A dazzling blue spear light flashed and landed directly on the massive divine body of the Great Sage True God.

A top-tier sixth-order material attack, when it landed on a true god wearing the supreme treasure armor, was merely a scratch, not even as effective as the previous chain of ice explosions from the 'Void Ice Lotus'.

After all, the supreme treasure of the ultimate realm, the 'Karmic Lotus,' can be used as a supreme treasure of psychic power that is of relatively ordinary grade.

Moreover, the strongest secret technique, Void Seed Ice Lotus, condenses a large number of ice lotuses. The explosive power of a single ice lotus is not as great as that of 'Surprising Beauty' activated by the God-Slaying Spear, but when the number is stacked, the damage it can cause is much greater than that of 'Surprising Beauty'.

However, the terror of the God-Slaying Spear lies not only in its sharpness, nor in the fact that it carries a more powerful soul attack when attacking. It can also inflict the pain of tearing the opponent's soul even if it fails to break through their defenses.

"uh-huh."

As the azure spear light fell, the Great Sage True God felt a terrifying, malevolent aura pierce his mind. The supreme soul treasure that guarded his soul became nothing but decoration, and his entire soul seemed to have been crushed.

If he hadn't honed his will to the peak of True God level countless years ago through the impact and tempering of the Black Pattern Stone Pillar space, he would probably be rolling on the ground right now instead of just groaning with a distorted face.

Of course, this is also because Lu Jin only mastered four levels of the Killing Mystic Runes, and had not even fully mastered the first six levels.

If one can master the second level of the Killing Mystic Runes, even if one is shot, the Great Sage True God is guaranteed to writhe in pain on the ground.

"Shameless bastards, how dare they use such evil weapons."

After recovering, the Great Sage God cursed loudly.

The young man lacked martial ethics and actually used such a shameless and despicable attack on his senior!

The damage to the divine body was not high, even very minor, but the pain was real, far worse than having one's head explode.

“Old dog, if you take off your supreme armor, I will not need this God-Slaying Spear.”

As Lu Jin spoke, his hands didn't stop. After withstanding a white tornado attack, a bright blue spear light suddenly appeared, and he fired another shot at Guang Sheng Zhen Shen.

He had intended to mention the Dog-Slaying Spear, but Lu Jin ultimately refused to tarnish the God-Slaying Spear.

"You brat, you are doomed to die today!"

A pain far worse than having his skull exploded struck again, and Guang Sheng Zhen Shen roared.

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

A white tornado raged, and azure spear beams pierced through; the two sides exchanged blows, accompanied by continuous, violent roars.

After a long while, realizing that his divine power was greatly depleted, the Great Sage True God realized that something was wrong.

He is a true god, whose soul and divine body have long since separated. No matter how much his divine body is damaged, his aura and strength will not decline.

But the Lord of Lingxiao is different. This guy is still the Lord of the Universe. Once his divine body is damaged too much, his aura and strength will decrease to varying degrees.

The opponent's aura is no different from before, which means that the opponent's divine body has been damaged by less than 10%?

This is wrong!

The most powerful treasure can at most weaken a material attack to one millionth of its original strength. Even if the opponent is a perfect gene universe master wearing the armor of the most powerful treasure, it is still impossible for it to be this outrageous!
"You brought a clone?!"

Suddenly, the Great Sage God couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

In the eyes of the Great Sage True God, the only explanation for this strange phenomenon is that the Lord of Lingxiao is accompanied by at least one clone!
Moreover, this clone must be a special life form with an extremely large divine body, far exceeding 90,000 kilometers.

"Old dog, you found out about that?"

With his attacks continuing, Lu Jin followed the other person's train of thought and continued speaking.

Guess however you want, the further it deviates from the truth the better.

After all, after this battle, the divine avatar left by the opponent inside the Purple Moon Holy Land universe will inevitably leak his information.

Being able to mislead the powerful figures of the Purple Moon Holy Land is also a good thing for Lu Jin.

"Damn it!"

Guang Sheng Zhen Shen cursed inwardly.

Without a miniature universe, he wouldn't be as resilient as other true gods in a war of attrition. If the avatar of the Lord of the Heavens is too large, there's a possibility that he might not be able to outlast him.

After all, the opponent's attack frequency is not low. Even if each attack is just a minor scratch, the cumulative effect should not be underestimated.

Not to mention that activating one's own secret techniques also requires a large amount of divine power.

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

As he repeatedly unleashed the 'Surprising Beauty' technique, Lu Jin rebuked him, "Old dog, let me tell you, my divine body and clone are over a thousand light-years long. Let's see if you can outlast them."

"What a joke! If your divine body and clone were thousands of light-years away, I would offer you my most powerful treasures."

Guang Sheng Zhen Shen couldn't help but mock, while at the same time strengthening his resolve to continue fighting.

A divine body thousands of light years away?
That's ridiculous!
At this moment, the Great Sage True God was certain that this guy's clone might be quite large, but it wasn't too exaggerated.

Otherwise, there would be no need to brag and deceive him, right?
This guy's clone body must be severely damaged and about to collapse, so he tried to scare him away.

If he retreats when he sees no hope of victory, he will be letting the other side's treacherous scheme succeed!

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

The battle continued, with both sides brimming with confidence and determined to fight to the bitter end.

Guang Sheng Zhen Shen concluded that the opponent was bluffing and that he would definitely have the last laugh.

Lu Jin, on the other hand, was full of confidence and was looking forward to a good match.

When you feel that your combat experience has reached its limit, or when the opponent is thinking of running away, use the Mountain and River Map to suppress them.

Time passed, and after a long battle, seeing that Lu Jin's aura had not weakened, the Great Sage God frowned deeply.

'Could it be that this guy's clone is really huge, enough to wear me down?'

At this moment, Guang Sheng Zhen Shen felt a bad premonition.

I've heard that a freak has emerged in the primordial universe of this reincarnation era, known as the 'Lord of the Nine Netherworlds'.

Although it is the master of the universe, its divine body is so large that its diameter exceeds ten light-years.

If this avatar of the Lord of Lingxiao is indeed the special life form 'Nine Netherworlds', then without a small universe to continuously supply divine power, he really wouldn't be able to outlast his opponent.

Even without a divine body with a diameter exceeding ten light-years, a divine body with a diameter of hundreds of millions of kilometers would be enough to leave them helpless.

‘Damn it! ’

After thinking for a moment, the Great Sage cursed under his breath and sent his divine power avatar, which he had left in the Holy Land universe, to call for reinforcements.

If you can't outlast this guy in a one-on-one fight, then call for reinforcements. He's not the only true god-level expert in the Holy Land universe.

Moreover, he strongly suspected that the 'evil' spear in the hands of the Lord of Lingxiao was most likely also an extremely powerful treasure.

In this way, since the opponent possesses both the supreme domain treasure and the supreme treasure weapon, he and the helper he summoned each get one.

At the same time, in order to conserve divine power, the Guang Sheng Zhen Shen also began to reduce the frequency of his attacks.

When it comes to a treasure hunt, there's no reason for one person to do all the work alone.
Moreover, it's uncertain when help will arrive, so it's best not to expend too much divine power to avoid unexpected situations.

He had heard that the Lord of Lingxiao was very cunning, and it was possible that powerful figures were secretly lying in ambush.

'Um? '

As soon as the True God Guang Sheng reduced his attack frequency, Lu Jin, the person involved, immediately noticed it.

What's going on with this old man? Is he letting the game slide?

'No, Old Deng has called for reinforcements!'

Lu Jin narrowed his eyes, feeling that he had guessed the truth.

Putting yourself in their shoes, if you couldn't defeat your opponent in a one-on-one fight, and that opponent not only held your disciple's life in their hands but also possessed an extremely powerful treasure, then calling for reinforcements would be perfectly normal.

It's a good thing that the opponent is calling for reinforcements, as it means he can acquire more Law Godhoods and Supreme Treasures.

However, if the helper you summon possesses a supreme treasure of the sealing or domain type, then the situation is quite different.

The former can counteract the swallowing power of the Mountain and River Map.

The latter can negate the restrictive power of the Ice Flame Domain. If the restrictive power of the domain is gone, it may not be possible to suppress the opponent successfully.

Even if there were a palace-type supreme treasure, the opponent could simply take Guang Sheng Lao Deng inside and hide there. As a supreme treasure, the Mountain and River Map would most likely be unable to seal it.

At that point, it would be a situation where a new big fish fails to be caught, and instead, Guang Sheng, the big fish that has already taken the bait, will also be caught in the crossfire.

After thinking it over, Lu Jin decided to be on the safe side and reel in the big fish first.

"Whoosh!"

With a wave of his hand, a landscape painting shot out, then rapidly expanded to hundreds of millions of kilometers, obscuring the view above the head of the Great Sage.

‘Huhuhu——’

In an instant, the terrifying suction power unleashed by the Mountain and River Map directly affected the Guang Sheng True God, who was planning to engage in a 'delaying battle' with Lu Jin.

'not good! '

Sensing the terrifying suction power descending, the expression of the Great Sage God changed drastically.

With a thought, a supreme palace radiating endless light instantly materialized, and then he controlled the palace to resist the absorbing power with all his might.

"Damn it! Your sealing-type treasure is actually an extremely powerful treasure?!"

Inside the supreme palace treasure, the 'Holy Light Temple,' the Great Sage True God spoke with a look of terror on his face.

Previously, when his disciple, the Lord of Earth, was suppressed, he was in a state of severe soul pain and could not accurately determine the level of the sealed treasure.

Guang Sheng Zhen Shen only thought that the Lord of Ling Xiao had a top-tier treasure of the sealing type, at most a top-grade item among top-tier sealing treasures.

But to his utter surprise, this sealing treasure was actually an extremely powerful treasure!
It's outrageous!
How could a mere upstart in a primitive universe possess so many unheard-of supreme treasures?
