Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 264 Fusion of the Strongest Secret Technique

Time flies, 600 years after the beginning of the primordial universe.

The virtual universe, belonging to the Tongtian Mountain plane of the Heavenly Court.

'Finally, we've made it through the Tongtian Mountain in the Primordial Universe, a realm master level challenge!'

Standing atop the majestic, primordial Tongtian Mountain, a realm master level peak, Hong thought to himself with secret excitement.

"Shh!"

His figure vanished from the spot and returned to the manor pavilion belonging to the Qinghua Palace in the Heavenly Court plane. Hong said to the auxiliary AI, "Xiao Guang, open the treasure vault of the Spirit Treasure Hall and check the ginseng fruit."

Hong Ke had always been very curious about the effects of ginseng fruit.

Inside the Hall of Ascension to Immortality is a diagram for comprehending the fundamental laws of time. With the help of this diagram, his understanding of the higher-level laws of time has progressed by leaps and bounds.

Furthermore, with the hundredfold amplification of his divine body taking effect within the virtual universe, he managed to overcome the Primordial Heavenly Mountain, a realm lord-level mountain, with his initial level of understanding of the laws of the King-level. This mountain should have required the peak level of understanding of the laws of the King-level.

Having passed through the Primordial Tongtian Mountain, a realm master level, he had met the requirements to examine the effects of the ginseng fruit and naturally wanted to find out more.

"Yes, Master!"

With a wave of its tiny, humanoid, light-and-shadow-like intelligent hand, a virtual projection screen appears.

Information about ginseng fruit was displayed on the screen.

Ginseng Fruit

Price: Free application

Requirements: Within the virtual universe, without using powerful treasures or above, you can apply if you can defeat a peak Immortal with the status of a Realm Lord. Once your application is approved, you will receive the reward (Golden Dragon series divine armor, divine souls, and other treasures that grant external power are prohibited within the virtual universe).

Efficacy: Ginseng fruit has three effects, and users can choose one of them (multiple selections are not allowed, and only the third effect can be selected by the applicant).

One method is to consume ginseng fruit, which can transform one into an immortal deity of the wood element.

Secondly, consuming ginseng fruit can create a special life form based on the Law of Wood, which grants a thousandfold increase in life genes.

Thirdly, refining ginseng fruit can generate a primordial core. The primordial core has a slot for creating a clone, which can create a clone whose life gene level does not exceed that of a perfect gene (10081 times).

It is ineffective if the life level surpasses that of a realm lord, it is ineffective if the user already has an avatar, and it is ineffective if the user refines the ginseng fruit multiple times.

Note: No member may disclose information regarding the efficacy of ginseng fruit.

"At most, it can produce one perfect genetic clone?"

Looking at the information about ginseng fruit displayed on the screen, Hong's heart was filled with shock and disbelief.

As one of the core members at the realm lord level under the Heavenly Court, and with a teacher who is also the Lord of the Universe, he is well aware of the concept of perfect genes.

'Unfortunately, it's still far from perfect.'

Hong thought to himself.

Being able to pass through the Primordial Tongtian Mountain, a realm master level, does not mean that he has met the application requirements for the Ginseng Fruit; he is still far from meeting them.

A peak-level immortal with the title of Marquis possesses nearly ten thousand times the power of a peak-level World Lord, and his strength can increase a thousandfold after burning his divine power.

To defeat a peak-level immortal in the virtual universe as an ordinary realm lord, he would need to gain an advantage of at least ten million times in three aspects: amplitude secret techniques, law comprehension, and secret techniques.

In other words, to qualify for the Ginseng Fruit application, one must possess at least a hundredfold amplification secret technique, a peak-level understanding of the laws at the King level, and an immortal-level peak secret technique.

The items are excellent, but they are not something that ordinary people can obtain; at least one must be a true prodigy.

Shaking his head, no longer thinking about the ginseng fruit, Hong said, "Xiao Guang, apply for the reward for breaking through the Primal Tongtian Mountain at the Realm Lord level."

The AI ​​assistant responded: "Yes, Master. Application successful. Master can go to the offline Qinghua Hall to collect it."

Having exited the virtual universe, Hong, who was in the Great Luo Heaven, immediately set off for the Qinghua Palace.

Before long, Hong received the reward for conquering the Primal Tongtian Mountain, which was at the Realm Lord level.

—Nine Time Origin Spirit Peaches, nine Space Origin Spirit Peaches, plus a Bloodline Origin Crystal with ten times the genetic power.

After using the three resources, one's talent for cultivating the fundamental laws of time and space can be elevated to the level of a darling of the fundamental laws, and one will possess ten times the life genes.

Another 100 years passed in the primordial universe. Thor also broke through the primordial Tongtian Mountain, which was at the level of a world lord, and obtained a resource similar to that of Hong.

In the same year, a human king named 'King of the Blade River' appeared on the seventh outer battlefield.

300 years into the primordial universe, inside the Hall of Ascension.

Fatty's voice rang in Lu Jin's ears: "Master, Luo Feng is looking for you in the virtual universe, saying he wants to invite you to a small gathering."

Upon hearing the sound, Lu Jin separated a wisp of his consciousness and logged into the virtual universe.

Virtual universe, Earth.

Earth is special. Above the virtual universe of Qianwu Continent, there is a virtual Earth that is almost a complete replica of the real Earth.

Inside a private room at a restaurant, Lu Jin and Luo Feng were drinking.

"You look so gloomy, did you get thrashed on the battlefield outside the region?"

Lu Jin asked Luo Feng.

"No~"

Enduring the pain, Luo Feng shook his head, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "Brother Jin, if I don't come looking for you 5000 years from now, I'll have to trouble you to reverse time."

Luo Feng estimated that 5000 years from now, he would either have successfully become the master of the Star Tower, or he would be completely dead.

Fortunately, even if he fails to successfully claim the Star Tower as his master, he still has a chance to be resurrected.

As for the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, which can enhance life genes sixfold after being resurrected and mastered to two levels, will it disappear?
To be honest, Luo Feng didn't take it too seriously. It was just a life gene; there were plenty of resources in the Heavenly Court's Spirit Treasure Hall that could enhance life genes.

Lu Jin said, "What difficulties have you encountered? Now you understand the importance of hard work and struggle for young people, right?"

Luo Feng stated directly, "I'm trying to bind a supreme treasure to myself, but this treasure demands a high level of willpower, and once the binding process begins, it's unstoppable. If the binding fails..."

With that, Luo Feng shook his head and didn't continue.

Lu Jin twitched the corner of his mouth.

Luo Feng's words struck a nerve.

Ten million years have passed since the last time the Guang Sheng True God was killed in the Ten Thousand Times Time Palace.

With the help of the will training ground within the Xuan Sha Heaven over such a long period of time, his will is now quite strong, having already reached the peak of the Universe Lord level, approaching the level of a True God.

Unfortunately, the requirements for recognizing the supreme and precious psychic weapon, the 'Radiant Abyss Cone,' were even higher than he had initially anticipated.

If nothing unexpected happens, the requirement for recognizing a master is that the Lord of the Universe possesses a true god-level will.

"Sigh, things will get better."

Lu Jin shook his head and sighed, offering words of encouragement.

Although he has not yet recognized the Holy Abyss Cone of Radiance as his master, he will soon, and before long, his will will be able to enter the level of a true god.

"Hopefully."

Luo Feng nodded.

According to the Lord of Puti, the Star Tower is the most powerful treasure in the primordial universe, and he desires to possess it.

After a pause, Luo Feng said, "Brother Jin, I know the origin of Earth's special nature."

Lu Jin waved his hand: "I already know about this. If you encounter the Mountain Guest in the future, tell him that if he does not become an enemy of the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Court will owe him a favor."

Luo Feng blinked: "The Mountain Hermit?"

"One of the strongest beings in the original universe, he was the one who shaped Earth."

"How come it feels like you know more than I do, Brother Jin?"

"I'm your brother, isn't it normal that I know more than you?"

"Okay, but it's a bit strange."

The disciple of that powerful cosmic lord said that the inheritance I received was prepared for the most outstanding among the Earth lineage.

"I'm not the most outstanding one, so how did the skill end up in my hands?"

Luo Feng said, somewhat puzzled.

Lu Jin tapped his fingers lightly on the table and said, "Perhaps the Mountain-Sitting Guest feels that he cannot control the Heavenly Court?"

The reason is simple: he has many secrets.

Before this, without his knowledge, the Mountain Hermit must have been secretly observing him.

After realizing his unusual nature, they naturally assumed that he had obtained the inheritance of other unknown powerhouses, and that it was even beyond the level of the original universe. Therefore, they left the inheritance to the second most outstanding Luo Feng.

Luo Feng nodded: "If I see it, I will tell that great power."

After the gathering, Lu Jin once again devoted himself to cultivation.

Ten years have passed since the beginning of the primordial universe.

In the Xuan Sha Heaven, at the Willpower Training Ground, inside a Time Palace that is ten thousand times faster.

'The will of a true god has finally been formed!'

Suddenly, the Blood God Child's incarnation opened his eyes, his heart filled with excitement.

Meanwhile, inside the Hall of Ascension.

Transforming into human form, the Time Dragon avatar, which was creating magic, temporarily stopped its secret creation, took out the Radiant Abyss Cone, infused it with divine power, and recognized it as its master.

This time, without any unexpected incidents, Lu Jin successfully recognized it as his master.

As his consciousness sank into it, the seven layers of secret patterns within the Radiant Abyss Cone appeared in his mind.

First level: Breakthrough, top-tier fourth rank.

Second level: Assault, top-tier fifth rank.

The third level: Thorn, the pinnacle of the sixth rank.

Fourth level: Explosion, top-tier of the seventh rank.

Fifth level: Scroll, the pinnacle of the eighth rank.

Sixth level: Crack, the pinnacle of the ninth rank.

Seventh level: Boom, the pinnacle of the tenth rank.

Immediately, a Blood God Child avatar took the Radiant Abyss Cone and immersed himself in comprehending the seven layers of secret runes.

Not only is the Radiant Abyss Cone like this, but the God-Slaying Spear, which was originally meant to be comprehended by the original being, is also like this.

After all, the Blood God's incarnation has no soul, so it's impossible to create a controller-type secret technique. Perhaps it was the effect of his will breaking through to the True God level, but Lu Jin felt that his efficiency in creating the strongest secret techniques was increasing.

Every now and then, a powerful secret technique is created.

However, setting aside the supernatural power of having three heads and six arms, if one can only create the strongest secret technique, it will not bring about a qualitative change compared to when the strongest secret technique was first created.

To achieve a qualitative leap in one's strength, one must at least fuse two or more of the strongest secret techniques into one, creating a fused strongest secret technique.

After a moment's thought, in order to improve the efficiency of creating spells, Lu Jin stopped creating secret spells based on the six major fusion law attributes: Metal Void, Wood Void, Fire Void, Earth Void, Wind Time, and Thunder Time.

These 6000 Blood God Child incarnations were divided in half and allocated to the creation of the strongest secret technique for fusing the attributes of Water and Space, and Light and Time.

Lu Jin had already gradually comprehended these six laws of fusion, as well as the six beast god hearts of metal, wood, fire, earth, wind, and thunder.

Furthermore, each fusion law has created at least one of the strongest secret techniques.

With such a foundation, it won't be a serious hindrance when creating multi-attribute fusion techniques later on.

We can shift our focus and create the strongest fusion technique as soon as possible to achieve another qualitative leap in our strength.

Moreover, millions of years ago in the Hall of Ascension to Immortality, the supernatural powers of Three Heads and Six Arms and Law of Heaven and Earth had already been cultivated to the second level.

It's just that their own life level is still at the level of the Lord of the Universe, and they cannot reach the threshold of the third level of supernatural power cultivation.

The Blood God Child incarnation, who originally cultivated two supernatural powers, devoted his energy to referencing the strongest fusion secret techniques of countless water, air, light, and time attributes in the Inheritance Hall, and then created his own strongest fusion secret technique.

As time passed, with the Bodhi tree's blessing of enlightenment, Lu Jin's progress in comprehending the secret patterns of the God-Slaying Spear and the Radiant Sacred Abyss Cone continued to climb towards higher levels.

And the fusion of the strongest secret techniques is gradually taking shape.

Five hundred years passed in the primordial universe, and another five million years passed in the Hall of Ascension.

"Wow—"

A divine power surged from the Time Dragon's humanoid body, splitting into fine threads of divine power that outlined two complex secret patterns in the air in front of it.

One of the runes represents the 'Wandering Dragon,' the most powerful secret technique of the Light Era that was created at the time.

The other one represents the strongest secret technique of light and time, named 'Light River', which Lu Jin had previously created.

Gradually, the two complex runes merged into one, transforming into an even more complex rune pattern.

In an instant, an even more powerful pressure emanated from the complex secret pattern that had merged into one.

"Shh!"

Upon seeing this, the Time Dragon's clone was overjoyed. He put away the secret pattern diagram in front of him, took the Radiant Abyss Cone from the hand of a Blood God Child avatar, and disappeared from the Immortal Ascension Hall, instantly teleporting to the endless golden sea of ​​clouds tens of thousands of light-years away from the Immortal Ascension Hall.

Then, divine power was injected, and the Radiant Abyss Cone in front of Lu Jin emitted a dazzling white light.

"Yin——"

The complex secret pattern reappeared as the two were combined, accompanied by a long and ethereal dragon roar. The Radiant Holy Abyss Cone, gleaming with brilliant white light, transformed into a majestic white-gold dragon, 100,000 kilometers long, shimmering with light, as if carrying endless water.

"call out!"

With a thought, the platinum dragon transformed into a streak of light and shot out at incredible speed. Wherever it passed, the space of the Great Luo Heaven shattered into particles, which then disappeared into the golden sea of ​​clouds below and finally landed on the earth of the Great Luo Heaven.

"puff!"

There was no violent roar or tremor, just a soft sound, and the land within billions of kilometers of the Platinum Dragon's landing point instantly turned into nothingness.

"call out!"

Subsequently, the Radiant Abyss Cone transformed into a stream of light and flew back, where it was collected by Lu Jin.

The perfect genetic universe master's divine body, combined with the strongest secret technique and the most powerful and precious psychic weapon, these three elements alone can give one top-tier sixth-order strength.

Supernatural power: The second level of Three Heads and Six Arms, with two more levels of strength, has reached the top level of the eighth level.

In addition, with the supreme and powerful armor, the World-Destroying God Armor, the Time Dragon clone can be considered to have top-tier ninth-order strength.

However, his top-tier ninth-order strength is achieved through top-tier eighth-order attacks, plus a level of material attack damage reduction that is a step above that of an eighth-order true god.

For the weak, his threat level is a notch lower than that of an offensive ninth-tier top-tier true god.

However, in reality, we are talking about overall strength. He, as a top-tier ninth-order cultivator, is in no way weaker than a top-tier ninth-order true god.

Moreover, not only the Time Dragon clone, but also the main body and the Water Qilin clone possess at least ninth-tier strength.

After all, apart from the strongest Blood God Child incarnation, which has no soul and cannot use the controller's secret technique, the main body and the Water Qilin clone can also use this strongest secret technique of light and time fusion.

The only difference is that the supreme treasure of the realm, the 'Karmic Fire Lotus,' is a psychic weapon formed from psychic energy, and its power is not as great as that of the Radiant Abyss Cone, a supreme treasure of the realm.

"Let's call it: Time Dragon."

Lu Jin gave a name to the most powerful fusion technique he had ever created.

Of course, Lu Jin knew that creating methods at home was far less efficient than creating methods in actual combat.

The fusion of the strongest secret techniques typically requires countless years for a master of the universe to create.

The reason he was able to create the strongest fusion technique was not only because there were a large number of Blood God Child incarnations who participated in the creation of the technique, but also because of the Bodhi Tree's significant enlightenment boost.

This is also related to the fact that the Inheritance Hall contains a large number of the strongest secret techniques for the fusion of light and time attributes, as well as the secret patterns inside the Radiant Holy Abyss Cone.

A combination of factors led him to create the strongest fusion technique while squatting in the Hall of Immortality, without long-term practical combat experience.

After the fusion of the most powerful secret technique, 'Dragon of Time,' was born, Lu Jin seemed to have suddenly gained enlightenment.

In the primordial universe, spanning 100 years, and within the Immortal Ascension Palace, spanning 100 million years, Lu Jin successively created the strongest secret technique combining two water and air attributes.

Above the Great Luo Heaven, on an endless sea of ​​golden clouds.

"The moment of youthfulness!"

With a low shout, Lu Jin thrust out the God-Slaying Spear in his hand. Intricate secret patterns appeared, and as divine power surged, 10081 dazzling blue-gold spear beams suddenly appeared, and then, with different trajectories, they struck the same position in the far distance in mid-air at the same time.

"boom--"

Like the Big Bang, a terrifying energy shock spread instantly, directly engulfing the surrounding space and forming a huge void with a diameter of hundreds of millions of kilometers in the far distance.

The next moment, divine power surged, endless blue light emanated, and the icy blue flame domain instantly spread, covering an area of ​​dozens of light-years.

Immediately following, as the secret pattern materialized, the alluring, dark blue spider lilies bloomed across billions of kilometers, forming a vast, dark blue sea of ​​flowers.

'burst!'

With a thought, Lu Jin's sea of ​​deep blue spider lilies instantly boiled and exploded. Each layer of terrifying energy that exploded turned the space around each spider lily into nothingness.

The alluring, deep blue spider lilies burst open and then reappear, seemingly symbolizing endless reincarnation.

After a long while, everything returned to calm. Lu Jin dispersed the Ice Flame Domain, and the land and space that had turned into a void were quickly repaired by the Great Luo Heaven.

The primordial universe has been peaceful for a long time; it's time for it to get lively.

Looking ahead, Lu Jin thought to himself.

Based on the most powerful secret technique 'Dragon Soaring', the Light and Time Controller was created by fusing the most powerful secret technique 'Dragon of Time'.

Based on the strongest secret technique 'Surprising Beauty', the Water-Sky Warrior was created by fusing the strongest secret technique 'Fleeting Beauty'.

Based on the strongest secret technique 'Void Ice Lotus', the Water and Sky Controller was created by fusing the strongest secret technique 'Fleeting Beauty'.

The most powerful secret technique combining the three styles has been created. It's time for the Lord of Time to establish his prestige, for the Blood Demon Ancestor to make a comeback, and for the Heavenly Court to expand its territory!

In the Great Luo Heaven, on the white jade plaza in front of the Lingxiao Palace, powerful figures teleported in one after another and then entered the palace.

Before long, over a hundred figures had gathered inside the hall.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

The next moment, Lu Jin, Zi Nishang, Hong'er, and three others appeared instantly on the nine nine-colored thrones in front of the lotus pond at the head of the Lingxiao Palace.

"Greetings to the Heavenly Emperor, Empress, and Imperial Consorts."

Led by ten Palace Masters, including the Lord of Light Zi Zhenfeng, a total of one hundred Universe Lords bowed in worship.

"No gift."

Lu Jin waved his hand, looking at the hundred figures in the hall, secretly satisfied.

Throughout the years of creating the law, Lu Jinke never missed a treasure hunt.

Inside the spaceship, all those encountered by the Blood God Child's avatar, with a few exceptions, were transformed into spacetime law godheads or fused law godheads.

In fact, Lu Jindou still had several spacetime law divine sparks that he hadn't used, but apart from himself, Zi Nishang, Hong'er, and the other seven, the Heavenly Court already had one hundred universe lords, which was enough for now.

Moreover, the universe lords hunted are limited to third-tier universe lords, whose life genes are far from being ten thousand times smaller, and the rare resources for improving life genes are not very abundant.

There are still more than a dozen celestial generals at the level of universe lords within the Temple of Gods who have not yet achieved perfect genes.

Due to insufficient resources, coupled with a lack of top-tier treasures in the domain, soul, and palace categories, Lu Jin did not continue to cultivate universe masters. The Heavenly Court also had no shortage of several universe masters whose strength was not too great.

Lu Jin then said, "In the universe, the strong prey on the weak, and the strong are respected."

The interests currently held by the Heavenly Court in the primordial universe are severely disproportionate to its strength; it is time for some form of reconciliation.

"I am willing to expand the territory of Heaven!"

The people inside the hall shouted in unison.

"very good."

Lu Jin nodded in satisfaction and continued, "This time, the target of my Heavenly Court is two of the nine super powers of the Primordial Universe: the Crystal Clan Alliance and the Prison Clan Alliance."

According to the intelligence gathered, the Crystal Clan has one strongest member, the 'Celestial Crystal Saint Lord', fourteen Universe Lords, and eighteen Universe Lords from non-Celestial Clan alliances.

Within the Prison Clan, there is a powerful figure known as the "Demon Ancestor," sixteen Universe Lords, and twenty Universe Lords from outside the Prison Clan Alliance.

If nothing unexpected happens, both of these alliances should be hiding several universe masters, and among them are universe masters who possess the secret technique of creating clones.

Preliminary estimates suggest that, including their clones, the two major alliances each possess forty to fifty cosmic lord divine bodies.

In this war, the Heavenly Court will first eliminate the Crystal Clan Alliance. After sweeping away all the high-ranking members of the Crystal Clan Alliance, including the Universe Lords and above, it will then turn its attention to the Prison Clan Alliance.

You will be divided into two teams of fifty each. The first team will deal with the Crystal Clan Alliance, and the second team will deal with the Prison Clan Alliance.

I will deal with the Crystal Clan's Celestial Saint Lord and the Prison Clan's Demon Ancestor.

And you will sweep away the many universe lords of the two alliances.

As for those below the level of a universe lord, unless they are top-tier universe overlords, you shouldn't interfere.

Things are different now; the Heavenly Court's strength is far greater than it used to be.

The gap is not only in quantity, but also in quality.

Aside from the dozen or so Universe Lord-level Heavenly Generals who had not yet achieved perfect genes, the rest all possessed the strength of a top-tier Fifth-Order Universe Lord.
