Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 281 Supreme Treasure: 'Blood Sea Set'

"It's just an ordinary treasure-refining furnace."

Lu Jin said nonchalantly.

It's normal for those who stay on the mountain to be able to spot something fishy.

A god-king level treasure refiner's eyesight is beyond question.

However, Lu Jin had already concealed the secret patterns within the Qiankun Cauldron that surpassed the level of a true god.

Even if the Mountain Guest guessed that the Qiankun Cauldron was of extremely high grade, he could not possibly have imagined that the Qiankun Cauldron was at the semi-primordial level, far exceeding the level of a God King.

The Mountain Guest would most likely not even consider a God-King level treasure, since he himself was able to forge one back then.

But things are different when you surpass the level of a God-King; who knows, this old man might have some inappropriate thoughts.

Of course, even if the Mountain Dweller had ideas, it would be impossible for him to take the Qiankun Cauldron away.

After all, he is the master of the Qiankun Cauldron. Moreover, this is the Great Luo Heaven, where even the most profound true god is still just a true god.

After glancing at Lu Jin, Zuo Shan Ke didn't expose him. He said, "If you think it's ordinary, then it's ordinary. Whatever makes you happy."

"Senior, how long will it take to complete the refining?"

Lu Jin asked the guest sitting on the mountain.

"If the most powerful and precious materials are used, and it's not a set, it should be done in about an era."

"But your Blood Sea Demon Gold is only a top-tier treasure material. It requires multiple components to enhance it before it can reach a level of efficacy comparable to a supreme-grade treasure. This is expected to take ten epochs."

After making an estimate, the man sitting on the mountain said.

'The Tenth Era?'

Lu Jin raised an eyebrow slightly.

Ten eras are approximately 100,000 years, which is undoubtedly a rather slow process.

However, the mainstream treasure refiners in the universe all refine treasures by inscribing secret patterns after the treasure blank is formed. This method is much less efficient than the 'one-piece forming' method used by the treasure refiners in the Heavenly Court, and the longer refining time is a normal phenomenon.

Moreover, the main hall of the Tushita Palace has been enhanced with a time acceleration of ten thousand times. Although it is said to be ten eras, in the outside world it is only ten years.

Even if tens of thousands of sets of the Qiankun Cauldron are replicated in the future, it will only take more than 100,000 years if the materials and energy are sufficient.

"Please, senior!"

Lu Jin bowed again.

After a pause, Lu Jin continued, "Senior, why don't you send your divine power avatar to the Inheritance Hall? The treasure-refining techniques within the Inheritance Hall are quite different from the mainstream methods in the universe."

If it were any other true god, Lu Jin would not have opened the Hall of Inheritance.

Currently, the only true gods who can enter the Hall of Inheritance are his four true god-level servants and the empress he conquered.

But Lu Jin didn't care about the mountain dwellers.

No matter how exquisite the inheritance within the Hall of Inheritance is, it can only reach the level of a true god at most.

Perhaps there are some heritages that might catch the eye of those who sit on the mountain, but there are certainly similar alternatives available.

"Then I'll have to take a good look."

The man sitting on the mountain nodded.

Lu Jin continued, "If you have the time, senior, it would be even better if you could give some pointers to the many treasure refiners in the Tushita Palace."

The Mountain Dweller: "."

You really didn't have a good plan!

"Senior, what's with that expression? You should know that most of the members of my Heavenly Court are of Earth lineage."

And since you transformed the Earth, they can all be considered your children!

They're currently stuck at a bottleneck, unable to make any progress. You clearly have the ability to guide them, yet you remain indifferent. Isn't that a bit unreasonable?

Lu Jin began to use moral blackmail.

Upon hearing this, the mountain dweller twitched his lips and asked, "And what about you?"

Lu Jin said solemnly, "To be honest, senior, my Netherworld Blood Sea clone can condense tens of thousands of incarnations, and the Blood Sea Demon Ancestor is just one of them."

"So many avatars are driving me crazy! I have no idea how I can gather so many supreme beings."

"Stop! You can leave now, don't disturb my treasure refining."

Before Lu Jin could finish speaking, the hermit began to shoo people away.

This is outrageous!
10081 sets of top-tier, supreme, and most powerful treasure sets?
I want to eat fart!
Even if you plundered all the most powerful and precious materials in the entire universe, you still couldn't refine that many of them!
After leaving the Tushita Palace, Lu Jin was about to return to the Immortal Ascension Hall to cultivate.

However, at this moment, the thousands of Blood God Child incarnations who were comprehending the "Miro Supreme Diagram" made a new breakthrough.

"Pfft~" "Pfft~" "Pfft~"

On the fifth floor of the Hall of Ascension to Immortality, the divine bodies of the Blood God Child's incarnations would occasionally collapse and dissipate, while newly formed Blood God Child incarnations would teleport into the hall one after another.

If one modifies their own life genes according to the "Miro Supreme Diagram" without any errors or omissions, one can enhance their own life genes.

However, if there is any error or omission, even the slightest one, it can lead to genetic disorder.

In the event of genetic disorder, continuing to modify genes with errors will lead to genetic collapse, and subsequently, the divine body will dissipate.

As the saying goes, "failure is the mother of success." Referring to the correct answer in the "Miro Supreme Image," after taking many wrong paths, there will naturally be a moment when you find the right one.

At this moment, a Blood God Child, ignoring the discomfort caused by the genetic disorder, continued to boldly and radically modify his own genes.

Lu Jin originally thought this would be just another example among countless failures.

Unexpectedly, after the extremely radical modifications, the originally disordered genes immediately stabilized, and even the level of its own life genes was improved again.

Although it was only a small step, it represented a qualitative breakthrough and opened up a new world.

'10082 times the gene count, successful!'

Lu Jin thought excitedly.

"Shh!"

Above the Netherworld God Kingdom, on the vast sea of ​​blood, Lu Jin's true form teleported there.

The next moment, the genetic modification of the divine body began.

A moment later, the original body's life gene broke through the 10081-fold limit, surpassed the perfect gene, and achieved a 10082-fold life gene.

At that very moment, Lu Jin felt that with just a thought, he could cause the divine kingdom to evolve into a miniature universe and enter the ranks of true gods.

There are two paths for the Lord of the Universe to break through to true godhood: one is the path of laws, and the other is the path of divine power.

All the true gods in the current primordial universe, and even the entire cosmic ocean, are true gods who have formed according to the laws of nature.

If he were to break through to the True God realm right now, he would be no different from an ordinary True God.

For life genes below 30,000 times, there is not much difference between the divine power route and the law route.

Only when the life gene exceeds 30,000 times can the divine power route be significantly stronger than the law route.

Of course, after becoming a true god, the original cosmic rules also allow the true god to continue to enhance the genes of life.

However, achieving a life gene multiplied by 100,000 after becoming a true god is not the same as achieving a gene multiplied by 100,000 before becoming a true god.

Because once one enters the realm of true godhood, the miniature universe is already fixed.

Even if life genes can be increased by 100,000 times in the future, only the divine body will benefit, and the small universe will not benefit as a result.

Therefore, Lu Jin will not break through to the True God realm before achieving a 100,000-fold increase in life genes.

Subsequently, Lu Jin had the Temple of Life send over an immortal demon beast from the Mountain and Sea Heaven, in preparation for verifying a previous conjecture.

Supernatural power: Manipulating the workings of creation, gene modification begins, and in the blink of an eye, this immortal avian beast achieves a life gene 10082 times greater than perfect genes.

However, before he could enjoy the peak of his demonic life, Lu Jin destroyed his soul and then stuffed his body into the Demon Refining Pot for decomposition.

'Shuh! '

Soon, a Bloodline Origin Crystal with a dense array of 100,000 facets, containing 10082 tiny golden specks, and a main body that was a crystal-red color, appeared in Lu Jin's hand.

'I wonder if it can create a true God?'

Lu Jin thought to himself, and had Fatty summon a celestial general of the universe's highest level.

"Whoosh!"

A young man in blue armor arrived from the sky.

"Your subordinate Qinghong greets the Heavenly Emperor."

Qing Hongtian bowed and said.

"No need for formalities, refine this bloodline source crystal."

Lu Jin waved his hand and tossed the freshly made 10082 times bloodline source crystal to Qing Hongtian.

"Yes, Heavenly Emperor!"

Qing Hongtian will take the Bloodline Source Crystal and refine it.

Not long after, another life form that surpassed perfect genes appeared in the primordial universe.

"Is it possible to cause a divine kingdom to evolve into a miniature universe and achieve the feeling of becoming a true god with just a single thought?"

Lu Jin asked.

"Qinghong has failed the Heavenly Emperor's expectations. Please punish him!"

After carefully considering his feelings, Qing Hongtian looked ashamed and immediately knelt down on the ground with a thud, sinking into deep self-reproach.

In the eyes of His Majesty the Great Heavenly Emperor, the unique bloodline crystal he used could enable him to become a true god.

But since it hasn't worked out yet, the fault certainly doesn't lie with His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor; it's definitely his own incompetence that led to the waste of such a precious treasure.

Lu Jin waved his hand: "It's just an experiment, don't overthink it, go on."

"Yes, Heavenly Emperor!"

Qing Hongtian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then bowed and took his leave.

'It seems that the fundamental reason for breaking through to true godhood by taking the path of divine power is not that life genes have surpassed the perfect level, but rather the insights gained during the process of breaking through to perfect genes.'

This realization is the realm of the divine power path. When the realm is high, one can naturally break through in an instant, similar to how creating a top-tier tenth-level secret technique can lead to breaking through to the Void True God realm.

However, on the other hand, having obtained tens of thousands of times more life genes through cheating, and later becoming a true god through the Godhood of Laws, the foundation of his miniature universe should be no worse than that of the divine power route, right?

Or, instead of breaking through with a divine power of laws, could one subsequently elevate their life gene attainments to a level surpassing perfection, which would also be considered a breakthrough using life genes tens of thousands of times greater than those achieved through the divine power route?

Lu Jin thought to himself.

'Should we take back the true god-level divine sparks of those eight quasi-heavenly kings?'

After thinking for a moment, Lu Jin shook his head and gave up the idea.

Although these eight quasi-heavenly kings directly entered the realm of true gods with the divine status of laws when his life gene attainment was still low, their future small universe foundations would be much weaker. However, Lu Jin knew that even with the standard answer of the "Miro Supreme Diagram" and the Bodhi Tree greatly enhancing his comprehension, achieving a 100,000-fold increase in life gene was still very difficult, and it was simply out of the question for a long time to come.

At least according to the original story, his life gene attainment was definitely not very high in the early stages of the Jin world.

At that time, the Heavenly Court needed some strong individuals besides him to maintain order.

The difficulty of comprehending the "Miro Supreme Image" varies.

The breakthrough from 10081 times the perfect gene to 10082 times the gene is much more difficult than the breakthrough from 10082 times to 10083 times the gene, or even a long period of time afterward.

After achieving a breakthrough in his mastery of life genes, Lu Jin's efficiency in comprehending the "Miro Supreme Diagram" increased dramatically.

Ten years in the outside world, and ten thousand years in the Immortal Ascension Palace, his life gene attainment increased from 10082 times to 11999 times.

Furthermore, after the life gene of the Netherworld Blood Sea clone reached 11999 times, the number of Blood God Child incarnations with ordinary initial genes also reached 11999.

The number of ordinary Blood God Child incarnations is equal to the number of the life genes of the Netherworld Blood Sea clone.

With his mastery of life genes, Lu Jin was able to transform the Blood God Child, whose life genes were originally ordinary, into one with 11999 times the life genes of the current one.

"Shh!"

Lu Jin's figure teleported to the main hall of the Tushita Palace.

Just now, the Mountain Guest sent a message via the contact token that the treasure set he requested has been forged.

"Here you go, the 'Blood Sea' treasure set you requested."

The Mountain Guest pointed to the 10081 blood beads floating in front of him and said, "Each Blood Sea Bead, when held alone, can evolve into a supreme treasure of the domain, weapon, or armor type."

When 10081 of these are combined, they create three types of supreme treasures, whose effects are no less than those of top-grade, supremely powerful treasures.

"Thank you, senior!"

Lu Jin bowed in thanks, then unleashed his divine power, claiming the 10081 Blood Sea Pearls as his own.

As the master of the universe and possessing the will of a true god, recognizing the 'Blood Sea Set' as his master is naturally not a problem.

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

Soon, the recognition was completed, and 10081 Blood Sea Pearls were successively absorbed into the body.

The next moment, Lu Jin's mind raced, and a set of ferocious blood-red demonic armor instantly materialized. On his right palm, a blood-red skull demonic sword with a slightly exaggerated design also appeared.

'Whoosh whoosh whoosh—'

At the same time, endless crimson light burst forth, and a sound like a surging tide resounded, instantly filling the entire main hall of the Tushita Palace with a vast sea of ​​blood.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Jin's thoughts shifted again, and the appearance of his blood-red armor changed, transforming into a magnificent set of azure armor.

The blood-red skull demon sword in his hand transformed into a jet-black spear, and even the vast sea of ​​blood surrounding him turned into azure water.

'good! ’

After carefully examining it, Lu Jin put away the Blood Sea Set and nodded in satisfaction.

The Mountain Dweller was highly skilled, and the Blood Sea Set he crafted perfectly met his requirements.

Not only can it change the appearance of the treasure, but it also does not affect its use after the change.

Moreover, the 'Blood Sea Demon Armor', 'Blood Sea Demon Sword', and 'Endless Blood Sea' derived from the 10081 Blood Sea Pearls are no less powerful than top-grade treasures.

However, since 'Blood Sea' is a set of supreme treasures, the three cannot be separated into three supreme treasures and given to different Blood God Child incarnations for use.

Furthermore, once the number of Blood Sea Pearls decreases by one, the set becomes incomplete, and the three supreme treasures derived from it will no longer possess the power of top-grade supreme treasures.

Even when the number of Blood Sea Pearls decreases to a certain extent, the quality of the three treasures will drop to the highest level.

With the Blood Sea Set, the Blood Sea Demon Ancestor's strength can be considered to be among the top 0 in the current version.

Lu Jin thought to himself.

The 'Return to the Void' secret technique, which is now more complete than before and has reached the top level of the sixth rank, along with the second level of the Three Heads and Six Arms supernatural power, plus the Blood Sea Set that integrates attack, defense and control, allows the Blood God Child's avatar to reach the top level of the tenth rank in terms of overall strength.

Apart from himself, the Mountain Guest who is the reincarnation of the God King, and the suppressed Primordial Ancestor, there are currently no true gods in the universe sea that have entered the tenth rank.

The top-tier tenth rank, placed in the cosmic sea before the arrival of the Jinzhi world, would undoubtedly be a symbol of invincibility, an existence surpassing the previous version.

It's a pity that one level of his top-tier tenth-level strength was achieved through the use of the Supreme Treasure Armor, making his attack power a level below that of a top-tier tenth-level player without the Supreme Treasure Armor.

However, in terms of resilience, even top-tier tenth-tier true gods are far inferior to him.

Not to mention the million-fold material damage reduction of the Supreme Treasure Armor, just the fact that after cultivating the second level of the Divine Power: Law of Heaven and Earth, his enormous divine body, which expands to more than nine million kilometers, is something that most true gods can only dream of.

"How does it feel?"

"The mountain dweller asked with a smile."

"Your skill in refining treasures is undoubtedly the best."

Lu Jin praised without reservation.

The Mountain-Sitting Guest nodded and said, "That's good. You should work hard to improve your strength. There will definitely be many more trials waiting for you in the future."

"Rest assured, senior. We will meet force with force and water with earth. Our Heavenly Court is fearless in the face of any challenge."

Lu Jin said with a serious expression.

"I have a favor to ask."

After a moment's hesitation, the mountain dweller looked at Lu Jin.

Lu Jin said, "Please speak freely, senior."

If it's a minor matter, he'll take care of it immediately.

If it's troublesome, just consider it a favor he owes to the mountain dweller, since he's an earthling.

The Mountain Guest said, "I have observed that many powerful figures in the Heavenly Court possess the secret technique of burning divine power, while powerful figures from other human forces do not. I wonder if you could pass it on to my disciple Luo Feng?"

Before Luo Feng reveals his divine king-like appearance, he will not reveal anything about the universe beyond the sea or his own origins.

It's inconvenient to give out the Divine Power Burning Secret Technique, but the Heavenly Court happens to have it. If Lu Jin is willing, he can let Luo Feng cultivate the Heavenly Court's Divine Power Burning Secret Technique.

Moreover, if he wasn't mistaken, the Heavenly Court's activation of this divine power burning technique would result in the growth of two more heads and four more arms, making it even more exquisite than the divine power burning technique once collected by the Jin Kingdom.

Lu Jin nodded: "Of course. This divine power burning secret technique is divided into three levels, called 'Three Heads and Six Arms'. In addition to requiring extremely high comprehension, the cultivation thresholds are respectively Universe Venerable, Universe Lord and True God."

Passing on the Three Heads and Six Arms technique to Luo Feng is perfectly fine, and even the Heaven and Earth Transformation technique can be passed on, as long as it is not spread outside.

As for the five major forces of the original human race, Lu Jin did not pass on his knowledge to anyone other than his own teacher, the Lord of Heavenly Frost.

He didn't owe them anything, and neither Giant Axe nor the Lord of Chaos City had mentioned it, so naturally he wouldn't spread it around on his own initiative.

In addition, everything has its advantages and disadvantages.

Compared to ordinary divine power burning techniques of the same level, the Three Heads and Six Arms supernatural power has the advantage of consuming very little divine power.

This advantage makes the Multiple Divine Power Burning Secret Technique no longer just a desperate last resort, but a regular means to significantly enhance one's strength.

However, it also has obvious disadvantages.

That means the cultivation is extremely difficult and requires a very high level of comprehension.

Putting aside other considerations, even with the Bodhi Tree greatly enhancing their comprehension, there are still a few top-tier overlord-level celestial generals who have failed to reach the first level of cultivation.

Lu Jin could foresee that without the blessing of enlightenment from the Bodhi tree or Bodhi seeds, very few people would succeed in cultivation.

The secret technique of burning divine power can wait until the human race acquires the inheritance of Duan Donghe in the future before it is popularized.

After chatting for a while, the mountain dweller did not stay long and left directly.

Lu Jin put away the Qiankun Cauldron and moved it to the fifth floor of the Immortal Ascension Hall.

He then stuffed a massive amount of divine source liquid and a massive amount of peak blood sea demon gold that had already been transformed into the Qiankun Cauldron, activated the automatic treasure refining mode, replicated the treasure refining process of the previous mountain dweller, and automatically produced the top-grade supreme treasure 'Blood Sea Set'.

Inside the majestic Lingxiao Palace, Lu Jin sat on the nine-colored throne at the head of the table, and four human figures entered the palace.

"The Primordial Demon (Northern Frontier, Primordial Transformation, Ezhou) pays respects to the Heavenly Emperor."

The progenitor of the demon beasts, the lord of the northern frontier, the lord of the island of primordial transformation, and the true god of the universe, who had transformed into human form, respectfully bowed.

"How strong are you now?"

Lu Jin asked.

The progenitor of demon beasts said, "Your Majesty, with the help of the Bodhi tree in the Hall of Immortality, I have created an eighth-order secret technique and cultivated the first level of the Three Heads and Six Arms technique. In addition, with the supreme treasure armor 'Void Universe Divine Armor,' I can barely reach the strength of a tenth-order True God."

Northern Frontier Lord: "Heavenly Emperor, your subordinate has created an eighth-order secret technique, the first level of the Three Heads and Six Arms and the Law of Heaven and Earth, the supreme treasure armor 'Black Cosmic Armor,' and tenth-order strength."

True God of Calamity: "Heavenly Emperor, your subordinates and the Northern Frontier are of the same mind, and with the help of the supreme treasure armor 'Hell Demon Armor', we have already reached the tenth level of strength."

The Lord of Shihua Island: "Heavenly Emperor, your subordinate has created an eighth-order secret technique, cultivated the second level of the Three Heads and Six Arms technique and the first level of the Law of Heaven and Earth technique, and also possesses the supreme treasure armor 'Holy Sacrifice Blazing Sun Armor,' which is at the top level of the tenth order."

The four true gods who were the progenitors of the demon beasts can all be said to be ancient relics from the primordial universe, their secret techniques stuck at the seventh level for countless years.

For thousands of years in the primordial universe and tens of millions of years in the Hall of Immortality, thanks to the enlightenment of the Bodhi Tree, and with countless top-tier and lower-tier True Mystery Techniques in the Hall of Inheritance as a reference, creating an eighth-tier secret technique on the original basis was not a difficult task.

The two supernatural powers, Three Heads and Six Arms and Law of Heaven and Earth, are difficult for a Universe Venerable to cultivate to the first level, and the same is true for a Universe Lord to cultivate to the second level.

However, for a true god-level being to cultivate the first and second levels of two divine abilities, the difficulty immediately drops drastically.

However, judging from the cultivation results of the four, the progenitor of demon beasts has relatively weak talent, the lord of the northern frontier and the true god of the universe are in the middle, and the lord of the island of primordial transformation has relatively strong talent.

"Indeed, you must continue your efforts in the future. The top level of the tenth rank is far from the theoretical limit of a true god."

Lu Jin nodded in satisfaction and then instructed, "The four of you will go to the Cosmic Sea, any of the three forbidden lands is fine. If you encounter a true god or a cosmic lord who possesses the most powerful treasure, immediately notify me through the Kunlun Token."

"Yes, Heavenly Emperor!"

The four true gods of the Primordial Island bowed in response.

"Go~"

Lu Jin waved his hand.

Currently, he has two directions to improve his strength.

First, one should study the "Miro Supreme Diagram" to elevate the level of one's life genes.

Second, to create higher-level secret methods.

While the former is crucial, its improvement rate is extremely slow, and it can only improve one level of strength at most.

Unless the level of the secret technique is already extremely high and it faces a bottleneck that is difficult to break through, it is sufficient to maintain 1000 Blood God Child incarnations to comprehend it.

The latter, currently only at the top level of the sixth rank, has enormous room for improvement and occupies most of Lu Jin's cultivation energy.

However, just like when a realm master created an immortal-level peak secret technique, studying it at home is far less efficient than studying it in actual combat.

It is necessary to send the Blood Sea Demon Ancestor to the Cosmic Sea to test the mettle of the true gods from all sides.

I don't seek to suppress or kill, I only seek an opponent I can fight.

Furthermore, one's own strength can be adjusted by whether or not one uses the 'Blood Sea Set' and the supernatural power of Three Heads and Six Arms, making any true god a worthy opponent.

As for the Lord of the Universe who possesses the most powerful treasures?
With strength not even reaching the seventh rank, how dare you wield such a supreme treasure? Give it to me!
