Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 288 Secret Technique: 'Universe', Two Grand Feasts
"Shh!"

In his panic, the Golden Emperor Demon God had a thought, and a magnificent palace that looked like it was forged from black rock appeared in the void.

'Top-tier level 100?'

Inside the supreme treasure of the palace, the 'Black Stone Temple,' the Golden Radiance Demon God, who was so shocked that he questioned his existence, looked on in disbelief.

With the support of the supreme and most powerful weapon, the second level of the Three Heads and Six Arms technique, and nearly 30,000 times the life gene enhancement, the top-tier sixth-order secret technique can unleash tenth-order power.

With his current mastery of secret techniques having broken through to the top of the sixth rank, advancing to the seventh rank, his actual power has naturally reached approximately the top of the tenth rank.

Of course, the Golden Emperor Demon God had never experienced the power of a top-tier tenth-order material attack before; his assessment of a top-tier tenth-order attack was his own calculation.

"Hahaha~, an illusion, it's definitely an illusion!"

Suddenly, the Golden Demon God burst into maniacal laughter.

At this moment, the Golden Demon God would rather believe that he was under an illusion than believe that the Blood Demon, as the Lord of the Universe, could possess the top-tier combat power of the tenth rank.

It should be noted that, under normal circumstances, the fifth tier is the upper limit for a universe master.

Even with the addition of the most powerful and precious weapon, it can only unleash the power of a top-tier sixth-order weapon.

It's impossible for a universe master who hasn't even comprehended the evolution of chaos to create a top-tier ninth-order secret technique, right?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
If he were really that powerful, the Golden Emperor Demon God would have devoured the Black Stone Temple whole!

"You idiot, don't you know that the ancestor has no soul?"

Lu Jin said disdainfully.

Golden Demon God: "."

That's right, the Blood Sea Demon Ancestor has no soul, so he can't use soul illusions at all.

Moreover, if he were to fall under an illusion that could not be broken, the situation would be even more serious, because it would mean that he could not resist the enslavement of his soul.

"Alright, now it's time to say goodbye."

With the secret technique having made a qualitative breakthrough, Lu Jin lost the will to continue fighting. It was time to end the Golden Radiance Demon God.

"What do you mean by saying goodbye?"

The Golden Demon God was somewhat bewildered.

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

Nine figures, each an incarnation of the Blood God, descended upon the battlefield.

'It's over~'

Looking at the nine newly emerged Blood Sea Demon Ancestors on the battlefield, the Golden Emperor Demon God felt that the whole world had turned gray and lost its original color.

"Wow—"

The next moment, endless crimson light burst forth, and the nine newly arrived Blood God Child avatars all activated the 'Endless Blood Sea,' a supreme domain-type treasure derived from the Blood Sea Set.

In an instant, with the ten layers of the Blood Sea Domain stacked together, an extremely terrifying restrictive force descended upon the Black Stone Temple, directly imprisoning the majestic Black Stone Temple in the void.

"Whoosh!"

At the same time, Lu Jin flipped his hand, and a palm-sized blood-red palace materialized in his hand, which he then unleashed towards the Black Stone Temple in the distance.

The Lingxiao Palace expanded rapidly, transforming in the blink of an eye into a magnificent, blood-red palace spanning hundreds of millions of kilometers.

"Whoohoo-"

A terrifying suction force erupted and acted upon the Blackrock Temple.

"Damn it, hold on!"

With divine power infused, the Golden Radiance Demon God desperately controlled the Black Stone Temple to resist this absorbing force.

"Puff puff!"

Seeing this, the ten Blood God Child avatars activated their secret techniques, and the Blood Sea Demon Sword slashed down, unleashing a million-mile-long black and white sword rainbow that shot towards the Black Stone Temple.

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

A violent roar erupted, and a terrifying shockwave burst forth. This was amplified by the absorption of the Crimson Sky Palace and the tenfold layering of the Blood Sea Domain.

Even though the Golden Emperor Demon God controlled the Black Stone Temple to resist desperately, he still couldn't prevent the Black Stone Temple from flying towards the Crimson Sky Palace.

"Whoosh!"

Soon, another wave of seventh-tier secret techniques struck, and the Black Stone Temple was sucked into the Crimson Sky Palace and sealed away.

"Let's call it 'Universe'."

After putting away the Lingxiao Palace, Lu Jin pondered for a moment and then gave this seventh-order spacetime law fusion secret technique a name.

Subsequently, all ten Blood God Child incarnations disappeared and were teleported back to the Netherworld God Kingdom.

Inside the suppressed Black Stone Temple, the Golden Demon God collapsed lifelessly on his throne.

It was sealed within a supreme treasure of the palace type, and the one who sealed it was not a powerful figure from the first cycle of reincarnation who was nearing the end of his lifespan, but a powerful figure from the primordial universe.

The Golden Demon God knew that his life was over.

Not only is he doomed, but countless members of the Dream Eater Clan within his miniature universe are also doomed.

As long as the Blood Sea Demon Ancestor doesn't release him, even if he manages to survive with the help of the Black Stone Temple, he and the Dream Eater Clan will completely disappear after another half-cycle of reincarnation.

'Give me all the treasures I possess?'

Suddenly, this thought appeared in the mind of the Golden Demon God.

Originally, the Golden Emperor Demon God felt that the Black Stone Temple was his lifeline, something he could never give up.

But when he thought about the fate of the Dream Eater Clan, the Golden Emperor Demon God felt that the Black Stone Temple was not something he absolutely could not give up.

Although, given his talent and ability, the possibility of him escaping the cycle of reincarnation is extremely slim, practically impossible.

But giving up is absolutely impossible, while trying is not absolutely impossible.

Bearing the sole hope for the continuation of his race, the Golden Demon God did not want to be suppressed for one and a half reincarnations before his time was up, turning countless members of the Dream Eater Clan to ashes.

"Blood Demon, I'm willing to surrender."

'boom--'

An extremely terrifying force of will descended.

Just as the Golden Demon God was about to surrender by offering up all his treasures, his consciousness collapsed and he perished instantly under the impact of this will.

At the same time, within the cosmic ocean, a small universe with a diameter of hundreds of millions of light-years began to collapse.

All members of the Dream Eater Clan from the second reincarnation era, as well as other races of life attached to the Golden Emperor Demon God's mini-universe, perished the moment the mini-universe began to collapse.

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

One Blood God Child incarnation and ten Universe Lord-level Heavenly Generals, who had already been teleported there, instantly entered the small universe where the Golden Radiance Demon God had collapsed to plunder.

After the Heavenly Court restored the North Heavenly Gate, Lu Jin entered the Cage Heaven once again.

Before long, Lu Jin acquired a True God-level Law Godhead, a Palace-type Supreme Treasure, and two Top-grade Soul-type and Domain-type Supreme Treasures.

"It's a bit of a pity that the 'Golden Beast' was completely destroyed."

Lu Jin secretly regretted that he had gone too far earlier.

It should be noted that the Golden Beast was a top-tier treasure combining armor and psychic weapons, worth tens of thousands of treasure points, yet it was directly cleaved into countless fragments by his two sword strikes.

However, on the other hand, there's no need to feel sorry for a treasure that can't even withstand its own material attacks.
Afterwards, Lu Jin stopped thinking about it and kept the Black Stone Temple for his own use. He then stored the other two supreme treasures in the Spirit Treasure Hall and returned to the Immortal Ascension Hall to begin fine-tuning the seventh-level secret technique 'Universe'.

The initial version of 'Universe' was a seventh-tier sword technique, but due to the God-Slaying Spear, it needs to be fine-tuned into a spear technique as soon as possible.

On the other side, within the territory of the Hundred Flowers Imperial Court, in a silent, boundless void.

"Kakaka-"

Suddenly, spacetime fluctuations arose, accompanied by a heart-palpitating pressure, causing space to distort and collapse, transforming into a spacetime vortex.

As time passed, the spacetime vortex began to glow with a faint rainbow of colors and gradually grew larger, emanating an increasingly powerful pressure.

"Shh!"

After a while, a stunningly beautiful figure with dreamy butterfly wings on its back teleported over.

"This is."

Looking at the spacetime vortex that appeared ahead, Venerable Nancheng of the Hundred Flowers Imperial Court couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

The Immortal Mother Empress Nan Cheng, who was forced to self-destruct her divine body in the void passage of the Star Tower in the seventh battlefield outside the domain by Lu Jin.

Not only has he been resurrected by the Emperor of the Universe through time reversal, but he has also entered the ranks of Universe Venerables by relying on the Enlightenment Diagram of the Space Origin Law within the Great Luo Heaven Immortal Palace.

After a moment's thought, Venerable Nancheng separated a wisp of his consciousness to log into the virtual universe and report the message to the higher-ups of the Imperial Court.

Inside the Hall of Ascension in the Great Luo Heaven.

While fine-tuning the seventh-tier sword technique 'Universe', Fatty's voice rang in Lu Jin's mind: "Master, the Empress has sent a letter. The Primal Star is about to open."

"Primordial Star?"

Lu Jin raised an eyebrow.

That's right. If we calculate the time, it's about time that the Primal Star is activated.

However, the original star doesn't seem to have much appeal to the Heavenly Court!

Back then, Lu Jin had planned to take advantage of the special environment that restricted teleportation and the space-traveling ability of the Kunlun Mirror during the opening of the Primordial Star to launch a major attack.

But times have changed, and the grand scenes that were once envisioned now seem like nothing more than child's play.

"So, we can embark on a new round of territorial expansion?"

Lu Jin's thoughts shifted to seizing territory.

There are six most precious territories in the primordial universe, each occupied by one of the original six supreme races.

Moreover, compared to the other two races, the Crystal Race and the Prison Race have slightly smaller territories.

The two major alliances of Crystal Prison were swept away, and their original territories were returned to the Heavenly Court.

Under the Queen's leadership, the Zerg disbanded and renamed themselves the Hundred Flowers Royal Court, becoming the seventh major power of the human race.

As a result, of the original six top races, only the territories of the demon race and the mechanical race remained unclaimed by the human race.

The Heavenly Court hasn't used force for a long time, so it's time to flex its muscles.

Moreover, after nearly nine eras of development, the 4936 star sectors that the Heavenly Court had seized from the Crystal and Prison Clan Alliance have been largely assimilated and transformed into prosperous territories.

If new territory becomes available, the Heavenly Court has ample resources to develop it.

Not long after, the Lord of Qiankun Palace, Lord Lingyuan, also sent an email, stating that he had discovered the Primal Star Passage that was about to open.

In addition, the Lord of Chaos City also sent a letter informing us that the Primal Star was about to open and that the highest meeting of the race would be held a month later.

January flies by.

Virtual universe, Mount Pantheon.

Amidst swirling clouds and mist, and the distant, indistinct mountain peaks, figures of powerful humans appeared one after another.

"Huh? There are so many Universe Venerables among our human race?"

"So many unfamiliar faces!"

"I remember the last tribal supreme meeting had fewer than six thousand participants. How come there are already more than twelve thousand people here this time?"

"Why are there so few Universe Venerables in the Hundred Flowers Imperial Court?" "You don't understand, do you? Regardless of their level of understanding of laws and secret techniques, as long as the Imperial Court can muster a thousand top-tier overlord legion warriors, the combined power of their legion attacks can at least reach the level of a Universe Overlord."

If one possesses profound understanding of the laws and mastery of secret techniques, and can control top-tier overlord legions in a combined attack, their strength may even surpass that of many top-tier cosmic overlords.

"Goodness~, if that's the case, not only has the number of high-level and lower-level universe venerables of our human race skyrocketed, but the number of universe overlords and top overlords has also skyrocketed."

I've only been in seclusion for less than 100 epochs, and the strength of the clan has changed far too quickly!

"No, you're being too narrow-minded. It's not just about the Universe Venerable."

My teacher told me that the number of truly remarkable individuals within their group has already exceeded one hundred.

"so much?"

The Supreme Conference had not yet officially begun. The human beings of higher and lower cosmic rank gathered here, chatting in small groups.

As time went on, more and more powerful beings gathered on Mount Gods.

"boom--"

Suddenly, the heavens and earth roared.

A large number of human universe venerables looked up at the sky at the same time, and saw a magnificent temple appear in the clouds. The two doors were decorated with a dazzling starry sky and emitted a dazzling golden light. The temple doors slowly opened.

This majestic temple is the venue for the highest meeting of the human race, the 'Temple of the Gods' on Mount Gods.

"Strong human beings, gather together!"

A magnificent voice resounded throughout the world.

'call! '

All the Universe Venerables on the Mountain of Gods disappeared instantly and were all transported into the Temple of Gods.

Inside the Pantheon, there was a huge, exquisitely carved round table.

A dense array of thrones surrounded a huge round table.

At this moment, Luo Feng appeared on one of the thrones.

With his hands stroking the armrests, Luo Feng glanced back and saw that the words 'Knife River' were engraved in the common language of humans on the back of the large royal chair he was sitting on.

'So many powerful individuals!'

Looking around, Luo Feng couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

As his gaze swept across the area, Luo Feng saw nearly 20,000 round tables distributed around the main round table.

Sitting at the very bottom is a Primary Universe Venerable, whose throne is two meters wide.

Above it is the Venerable One of the Middle Universe, whose throne is ten meters wide.

The High-Level Cosmic Venerable is fifty meters wide, while the Cosmic Overlord is two hundred meters wide, and he himself sits on the throne of the Cosmic Overlord level.

At the highest point, there are more than fifty majestic thrones, each a kilometer wide, where many super beings at the level of universe lords sit, including his wife, Xu Xin.

Most of these majestic thrones, which are thousands of meters wide, are dazzling gold, except for the four majestic thrones in the very center, which are black and exude a solemn aura.

Counting from left to right, the first black throne is empty, while the second black throne is occupied by a giant man with fingers as thick as his own, disheveled long hair, and a wild appearance.

Lu Jin sat on the third black throne, while a woman with dreamy butterfly wings on her back and an exquisitely beautiful face sat on the fourth black throne.

'The founder of the Giant Axe, no, the Zerg, but the Queen of the Hundred Flowers Court.'

Luo Feng thought to himself.

Then, Luo Feng withdrew his gaze, turned to look at Venerable Guiyi, who had advanced to the position of a cosmic overlord, to his left, and said, "Senior Brother Guiyi, how come the number of our human race's powerful figures is much greater than I knew?"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Guiyi sighed and said, "To be honest, I didn't expect this either."

After all, ten eras ago, the number of our human race's Universe Venerables was less than six thousand.

But upon closer reflection, it seems to make perfect sense.

The Heavenly Court's Qiankun Palace governs 4936 star sectors, each overseen by a Human Race Venerable, totaling nearly five thousand Universe Venerables.

The Hundred Flowers Royal Court was originally one of the most powerful clans, and it had a considerable number of Universe Venerables.

In addition, the superior primordial law enlightenment diagram of the Heavenly Court's Immortal Ascension Hall greatly reduced the difficulty of mastering time or space, which naturally led to a surge in the number of cosmic venerables in the race.

To date, within my Virtual Universe Company alone, the Lord of the Eclipse Palace and the Lord of Shadows have gained control of spacetime and become masters of the universe.

The only pity is that he also tried to comprehend the Enlightenment Diagram of the Fundamental Law of Time, but failed to break through.

At this moment, Venerable Guiyi once again envied the Shadow Monarch, who had become the master of the universe.

"Too."

Luo Feng understood.

He had personally experienced the effects of the Supreme Primordial Law Enlightenment Diagram and knew how much help it could provide in comprehending the primordial laws of time and space.

Meanwhile, at the highest point of the meeting, on the black throne.

Seeing all the lords of the universe looking at him, Lu Jin said to the Lord of Chaos City, "Chaos, you shall preside over the meeting."

"The Primordial Star?!"

The faces of the many Cosmic Sovereigns present showed joy.

"The Primordial Star is the core of our vast universe and the battleground for billions of races."

This opening is no exception.

If you want to obtain the ultimate treasure and make a great contribution to your community, your chance has come!

Please browse for more detailed information.

As the Chaos City Lord finished speaking, a virtual screen appeared in front of each of the many powerful human beings sitting on the throne.

On the screen, there is a wealth of detailed information about the original star.

The core of the primordial universe is undoubtedly the 'origin of the universe'.

However, throughout countless ages, no super-powerful being has ever been able to personally reach the origin of the universe.

The origin of the universe may seem like a fictional place, but the primordial star is real.

According to messages from the birth of the universe, these 10081 primordial stars orbit the 'origin of the universe,' making it the closest place to the 'origin of the universe' in the entire cosmos.

There are 10081 passages leading to the original star. Normally, they are closed by the will and will only open once every extremely long period of time, and each opening lasts for one thousand epochs.

After one thousand epochs, it will close directly, and all powerful individuals who enter must come out before it closes, or they will surely perish.

Whether it's a clone or an avatar lingering, it's all ineffective. As long as it remains on the original star when it's shut down, it will inevitably perish, without exception.

However, on the 10081 primordial stars, although dangers were everywhere, countless treasures were also born. The most valuable treasures were not worth mentioning, and the most precious treasures appeared frequently.

It's no exaggeration to say that the original planet was the largest and highest-level killing field in the universe.

Each time it is activated, countless cosmic lords die, and even cosmic masters who control time and space are not immune to their demise.

It was bloody and cruel, and drove countless powerful beings in the universe mad.

The reason for this frenzy is not only because many treasures were born from the 10081 primordial stars.

The treasures within the Primordial Star were merely a prelude; many more powerful individuals entered the Primordial Star with the sole purpose of killing and plundering.

Instead of relying on luck to find treasure, it's better to target other treasure hunters.

As long as I have the strength, wouldn't the treasures possessed by powerful alien races be mine?

After a long silence, the Lord of Chaos City said again, "The Primal Star will open in a full ten years."

During these ten years, everyone can make full preparations.

For example, a team can be formed by several strong individuals who can complement each other, or treasures can be borrowed from strong individuals who do not intend to venture to the Primordial Star.

Ten years later, our human race will march on the Primitive Planet!

"Rumble--"

After the Lord of Chaos finished speaking, the gates of the Pantheon opened, and the highest council of the races came to an end.

The saying that "large meetings discuss minor matters, while small meetings discuss major matters" is not necessarily accurate.

But one thing is certain: for human groups, conferences will only be notifications, not discussions.

The Supreme Being of the Universe, who has no decision-making power, should simply follow the steps of the Supreme Council.

After the Council of Gods concluded, Lu Jin did not leave the virtual universe, but instead initiated the Supreme Council.

Soon, more than fifty figures gathered on the round stone table in front of the Supreme Temple.

The Enlightenment Diagram of the Supreme Primordial Laws is of great use to all life forms below the level of the Lord of the Universe.

As time went by, one after another, human beings became cosmic overlords who mastered spacetime, became masters of the universe, and joined the Supreme Council.

Lu Jin then invited the heads of the other palaces in the Heavenly Court, as well as Xu Xin, who was in charge of the Yanhuang Company, to join the Supreme Council, increasing the number of seats in the Heavenly Court to 14.

In recent years, one of the top overlord-level queens in the Hundred Flowers Imperial Court has become the ruler of the universe, raising the number of seats to 13.

The five major powers, including Virtual Universe Corporation, along with several newly appointed universe masters, make up a total of 26 seats.

At this point, the Human High Council had 53 members.

With all members of the Supreme Council present, everyone's attention turned to Lu Jin, who was seated at the head of the table and had initiated this Supreme Council meeting.

After scanning the room, Lu Jin said, "Everyone, the last time the Heavenly Court expanded its territory was nearly nine eras ago."

Over the years, the Heavenly Court has absorbed 4936 star sectors from the former Crystal and Prison Clan Alliance, and it's time for a new round of territorial expansion.

The Heavenly Court's expected target is 1421 star sectors from the original Demon Race territory, 2547 star sectors from the original Demon Race Alliance territories of other races, and 2377 star sectors from the original Mechanical Race Alliance territory, totaling 6345 star sectors.

Because the Universal Alliance prohibits the establishment of new alliance organizations and divides groups based on life species.

The name "Demon Race" is now a thing of the past, having been fragmented into numerous powerful races, a large number of ordinary races, and weak races within the Universal Alliance.

As for the Mech race?
At this point, they could be considered exterminated, with only a few members escaping to various parts of the universe.

After the Blood God Child incarnated and suppressed and killed all the universe lords of the Machine Race, the Machine Race was betrayed by other powerful races in the original Machine Race Alliance.

The most precious territories of the entire universe, spanning over six hundred star sectors, of the Machine Race have now been entirely occupied by these backstabbing races.

Logically speaking, the elite territories of the original peak races should not be occupied by races whose strength is not particularly impressive in the universe, no matter how they are distributed.

After all, there are powerful races within the Universal Alliance whose strength surpasses theirs.

Unfortunately, the territory of the Machine Race is too close to the territory of the Human Race.

No matter how good this piece of fat is, it's destined to be something I can't enjoy.

There were no ruthless individuals within the alliance vying for territory, and the human race remained inactive for the time being. After a period of fierce competition, the original territory of the machine race was naturally occupied by many powerful races from the original machine race alliance.

"When to act?"

"The giant axe asked."

Lu Jin said, "Ten years later."

Ten years later, the Primordial Star was activated, and billions of powerful races across the universe embarked on a treasure hunt.

In the primordial universe, the Heavenly Court will also usher in another grand feast, a feast of territorial expansion.
